I'm glad they put y'all together. Y'all are like a mega force. Y'all just took over everything. Wake your punk ass up. This is Chris Brown. I've officially joined the Breakfast Club. Say something, mother f***er. I'm with it.

The world's most dangerous morning show. Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, USA! DJ Amby. Charlamagne Tha God. Beast of the Planet. It's Tuesday! Yes, it's Tuesday. And I walk into the radio station this morning, and it's a big-ass extendo blunt. What's that? Over there? For real? Yes, full of marijuana.

It's rolled horribly, by the way. Yeah, that definitely doesn't look like good weed. I can tell by the way it's rolled. This is definitely a Negro's radio station. It was just sitting there? Listen, man, too many rappers. There's cups in here. There's all kind of stuff in here. Too many rappers and stuff come through this piece, B.

Look how long this blunt is. You know how high you got to be just to roll this long-ass blunt and then just leave it here? It's a little wobbly. And the weed smells like trash. How you roll a whole extendo clip full of garbage? Goodness gracious. No high grade at all.

My goodness. But thank you. Thank you. You going to smoke that? No, I'm not going to smoke that. You don't know whose that is. I'm going to give it away to somebody as a gift. If you know what I know, you throw that in the garbage.

Maybe one of the interns. That looks horrible. You cannot give no interns no weed. Oh, okay. Or maybe one of the board ops if they do a good job today. You cannot give no interns no wee. Oh, okay. Well, maybe one of the board officers. They do a good job today. Oh, my goodness. All right. Well, did anybody watch the Republicans last night in Cleveland?

I watched some of that Klan rally. No disrespect to all the Republicans out there. You know what I'm saying? But last night, that one in Cleveland looked like a Klan rally. And when you got, what was that representative name? What was his name? Stephen. I want to say his name is not Stephen King.

It can't be Stephen King. Stephen King is the author. What's his name? Steve King. want to say his name's not Stephen King. It can't be Stephen King. Stephen King is the author. What's his name? Steve King. Steve King? Oh, it is Steve King. Okay. Yeah, when you got him out there saying that no other race has contributed anything to America other than white people. Yeah, it's hard to convince me. I can't believe.

Hard to convince me that's not a Klan rally. Yeah, that sounded crazy. And everybody, of course, is talking about Melania Trump's speech. Oh, she need to come to the front of the congregation this morning. Yeah, she just going to bite like that? Just like that. I'm not going to lie. It was hard for me to watch the Republican National Convention.

I'd be in and out. Like, once I see Steve King say something like that, then I turn away. Then I come back, see Giuliani up there talking his dangerous, toxic rhetoric. I turn away. Then you come back, see Melania Trump, you know, just plagiarizing Michelle Obama. You turn away. It's just like we literally live in a spoof world right now. This isn't even real what's going on out there.

Yeah, it doesn't seem like it. It seems like a satire. Oh, and Omarosa Mannygoat is the head of African Affairs for Donald Trump. What's the exact title? Yeah, she's the outreach. Something. H-N-I-C. Outreach person, yeah. Head of Black Outreach.

She's the director of African American Outreach. Yeah. That's so crazy. Okay, all right. When has Omarosa ever outreached black people in any way, shape, or form? When has Donald Trump? So it makes sense. Is this a strange world we live in?

I'm just waiting for the aliens to come, bro. I just need the aliens to come and humble us all out. Let us know that we're all just ants in the bigger scheme of things. Well, we do have a special guest joining us this morning. Who we got this morning? Denzel Washington. No, Denzel Washington is not coming. Why would you lie like that? Okay, Melania Trump, you just gonna sit and get on the radio and lie

for no damn reason? I didn't steal nobody's stuff. I just lied. You lied. No, Denzel probably is gonna be some way this morning, but he ain't here, so why would you lie like that? Well, his son will be joining us. His sperm. His son is... Not his sperm. His son is on Ballers. That's not a lie. Denzel Washington's sperm and Pauletta's ovaries will be here this morning.

It takes sperm and ovaries to make a baby, right? Yeah, but the sperm... What? Whatever. Anyway, Ricky from Ballers, okay, is who he plays. That is Denzel Washington's son, yes. His name is John David Washington. Yeah, so we'll kick it with him in a little bit.

All right, well, let's get this show cracking. Show this young man some respect. There you go. Front page news. We are going to talk about Melania Trump's speech, and everybody was comparing it to Michelle Obama's. It's eerily similar. Eerily similar?

No, she copied it word for word. Definitely copied. We'll get into it when we come back. Keep it locked. This is Riri. Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack. RiRi, work. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Now, let's talk about Melania Trump. Well, yes, she gave her speech last night at the Republican National Convention. And there was a lot of plagiarism in that speech. Apparently, she really enjoyed Michelle Obama's address to the Democratic National Convention that was back in 2008.

A lot of people did side-by-side comparisons, and we have that for you. Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values. Like, you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond. That you do what you say you're going to do. My parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise. Imitation is the best form of flattery, right?

No, imitation is imitation. If you're trying to make America great again, so you say, and you don't think America is great now, then why are you taking from them great speeches and trying to make them yours? That's horrible. That is horrible. Jesus Christ. You can't take somebody else's blueprint and trace it, but then defecate on their blueprint and present the same

blueprint and say, hey, mine is better. You know what this reminds me of? Wasn't Donald Trump in those Domino's pizza commercials? Or Papa John's? He was like, no, I'm going to give you two pizzas for $10. And the guy was like, I got two pies for $10. He goes, no, I'm going to give you two pizzas for $10. This is exactly what Melania Trump did with Michelle Obama's speech. They hate the Obamas, but then they imitate them.

Hold on, we got more. That you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them and even if you don't agree with them. That you treat people with respect. They taught and showed me values and morals in their daily life. That is a lesson that I continue to pass along to our son. And we need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow. And Barack and I set out to

build lives guided by these values and to pass them on to the next generation. Well? Yeah. So I guess she really liked that speech a lot and has a lot of the same values as Michelle Obama. You can't sit here and defecate on

the Obama administration and say you want to make America great again, but then copy their speech word for word. And then she said she wrote the speech. This is like... Has she gone over the speech with you? Did you practice it on the plane? I read that once over it,

and that's all, because I wrote it with as little help as possible. She had a ghostwriter. This is like when 50 slandered Ja Rule for singing and destroyed him for singing, but then started singing himself. Like, you can't slander this administration, you know, say this administration is no good and you want to make America great again,

but then you're imitating their words. Well, it worked out for 50. It definitely worked out for 50. It did work for 50. It looks like it's working for these guys, too, right? No, not at all. Yes, it is. Life is a spoof, bro.

They got to stop. It's over. It's not going to stop. They got to stop, man. They play too much. They got to stop. And like you said earlier, Omarosa is now the director of African American Outreach. Oh, boy.

For Donald Trump. Omarosa, man. Why are you dropping bombs for her? Take that bomb back. She got a real black name. She announced that news yesterday, and she said she's very proud to serve in her new role. She said it's really an extension of the work the coalition has already been doing

because she also is vice chairman of the National Diversity Coalition for Donald Trump. If it wasn't for her personality, it'd be really hard not to root for a sister with that type of name. I'm a Rosa Mannygoat. I'm from Moscow, Nassau, Carolina. You know how many Mannygoats I know? I used to have a teacher named Miss Mannygoat, okay? Really? Yes, I did. She had mad kids, so it was a bunch of Mannygoat. I'm from Moscow, so I can lie. You know how many Mannygoats I know? I used to have a teacher named Miss Mannygoat, okay?

Really? Yes, I did. She had mad kids, so it was a bunch of Mannygoats. It's hard not to root for that name, but the person attached to that name, garbage. All right. She follows me on Twitter, so she liked the tweet I put out yesterday. I think that she thought I was giving a props. Well, there you go.

That's part of her African-American outreach. She did. It started yesterday. She actually liked one of my tweets yesterday. There you go. I tweeted, I'm a Rosa Manny gold. I said, she must be from South Carolina with a name like that. And she liked it.

So, yes, that's part of her African-American outreach. It started yesterday. It's working. Maybe she just started following me yesterday, too, because I never noticed that she follows me on Twitter. Do you watch the people that follow you? Yes, I do. I pay attention. I pay attention to the spirits that are creeping creeping watching what I'm doing. Well, famous

Melania Trump quotes is also trending. I don't know if you guys had a chance to look at that yet on Twitter, but pretty funny things. Alright, well that's front page news. Now tell them why you're mad. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, call us right now. Maybe you have a little two-year-old and he busts your

lip last night when you were sleeping and came in your room. I gotta bust a little, a little crazy, but tell them why you're mad. My two-year-old is he bust your lip last night when you were sleeping and came in your room. I got to bust your lip. I look crazy. But tell him why you're back. My two-year-old is strong. His head butt. He head butt me. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, call us right now.

Phone lines are wide open. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey, yo. This is DMX. You know what makes me mad? When people ask for the truth but can't handle the truth. You know what makes me mad?

When people ask for the truth but can't handle the truth, eh? Now tell them why you mad on The Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, it's Anthony from Philly. What's going on, yo? Anthony, tell them why you mad. I am pissed off. Why? Number one, I'm in the United States Navy,

and I hold my family very near and dear to me. All my brothers are in the Army. And to know that Donald Trump could be our commander-in-chief, his wife making a total buffoon of herself, like, I don't feel like this life is real right now. Yeah, I mean, it's just... We're in the Twilight Zone. Listen... We are literally in the Twilight Zone.

There is nothing that the Wayans wrote for In Living Color, nothing that Neil Brennan and Dave Chappelle wrote for Chappelle's show that is funnier than what's going on in America right now. Yeah, it's disgusting. And we gotta laugh to keep from crying. But it's very disappointing.

No, I ain't laughing. Hello, who's this? Yo, what's up? This is Will from D.C., man. Tell him why you mad, bro. Actually, I'm not mad. Showing a little positivity. Okay.

See the God. What's up, buddy? See the God. Everybody who actually knows you say the same thing. You the man to call if you need a job and you just do wonderful things

with your friends and the community. No, I mean, no, I don't need a job. I'm just saying, you know, everybody who just likes Charlamagne that I hear are people who just hear what he say or do stuff he do. But everybody who actually know him and have interaction,

they do nothing but big the man up. So, you know, I want publicly to give you some love, bro. I appreciate that, my brother. Charlamagne, you giving out jobs? Nah, I don't do nothing for nobody. But I do feel like, you know, we gotta start empowering each other. That's the biggest problem that we see going on out here right now. We don't really got nothing. You know

what's so funny? What's that? You hear black people say you gotta spend with our own. On what? I say it all the time. Where can I go? We don't got nothing. Don't say that. That's not true. We don't. We have nothing. We gotta start creating stuff. Where's their bank? A black-owned bank? Where's the black-owned grocery store?

There's the Carver Bank that's in Brooklyn. I believe they have one in Manhattan also. You do have a few black banks, but not enough. We don't have no grocery stores. I don't know. I live in Jersey. I don't know. What about black grocery stores?

I actually met somebody the other day who owns a few grocery stores in Brooklyn. Where? What's the name? It's like a chain of stores. You should know that off the top of your head. No, I just met him. I mean, it's not something that I normally research, but I go to black-owned restaurants all the time.

We all go to black-owned restaurants. I go to black-owned stores. I use a lot of black designers over the weekend when I went out to party. We need to do more of that. We need to empower each other. I use this girl from Brooklyn who's a designer. I wore her clothes and tagged her in it. I do it all the time.

Well, that's what we need to do. Me and Charlamagne both wear black-owned stuff all the time. All the time. Serve fresh all day. Right, my guy from Planet Brooklyn, he owns a store there. I shop there all the time. I did a little capsule clothing line with him. And by the way, that's not being racist.

Nope. That's just support your own. But I definitely support. I go to all the time. Listen, I go to Footprints in Brooklyn. I go to Mango Seed. But we all go to black-owned restaurants. Right, so don't say that we have nothing.

But that's very far and few. What? We have a lot of restaurants. I go all the time. We don't have anything we have nothing. But that's very far and few. We have a lot of restaurants. I go all the time. We don't have anything that can help us survive. In case the bottom falls out here in America, which could quite possibly happen real soon. I just don't want to promote that we have nothing.

Empower your own. But we need to get more. Very far and few. A lot more. Can't just be entertainment and athletics. Well, tell them why you're mad. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, call us

right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. That was we, Jeremiah. Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Yes. Listen, man, I put up on Instagram this morning, I put God as my president, and I really

believe that because I don't care who's running. I know who's really running things. OK, because that's the only thing I can do right now is lean on faith. Because what's going on out here is ridiculous. Now, we were talking about businesses owned by African-Americans that we can support. And we were saying that they were far and few. Yeah, I mean, I was just saying that, you know, we need to own more things of substance. I need more banks. We need hospitals. We need grocery stores.

Like, like that's, that's what we need. We need things like that for us, by us, owned by us. Absolutely. And what Dr. Umar Johnson was saying the other day was so true. I remember being 21, 22 years old, trying to get a loan for a business when I was trying to open up. It's before I opened up my car wash and before I opened up the sneaker store and I couldn't get a loan. It was very difficult to get a loan at that time. But I had a Range Rover.

I got that loan easily. I was able to get my crib, and that was, at the time, was a $500,000 house when I bought my first house. I was able to get a lot of other things, but they would not give me a business loan. And my credit was good and everything was right, but they would not give me that loan. I mean, a lot of things I see us focusing on for the past 15, 20 years has to do with some form of entertainment.

You know what I'm saying? We know how to open up a record label, but we don't know how to invest money to open up our own grocery stores. And we've had enough multimillionaires that have come through the hood in the past 20 years that can do those kind of things. Right. You know? They just don't for whatever reason, probably because they don't know how.

They don't look at that as a form of income. When I walk around on this planet, all I see is money. Like this newspaper I'm holding in my hand, somebody's making a coin off it. You know what I'm saying? These markers that I'm writing with, somebody's making a coin off it.

So, I mean, for me, that's why I start thinking. I don't look at the popular ways to make money. I just look at ways to make money, period. I look at what people need. Well, the problem is most people only see the popular way because that's what they just look at ways to make money, period. I look at what people need. Well, the problem is most people only see the popular way because that's what they're raised on. That's what they see. If you are from the hood, you are inspired to be a basketball player.

You're inspired to be a rapper. You're inspired to be a producer. You're inspired to be a DJ because that's what you see. We all just want to be successful, and those are the people that we see that are successful that look like us, period. But I'm just saying we need more things of substance. Absolutely. And that's not like, you know, there's a lot of black

owned hospitals. At one point in this country, it was a lot of them. A nice bit. But they all sold themselves to national major hospital chains and corporations. Right. But we need to get those things back. Start investing in that type of stuff. Would you do it? Would you invest in

your own stuff? Absolutely. Just making sure. Without question. Some people out there will say, like Angelina said earlier, that they don't want a black doctor or they don't want a black lawyer. I didn't say I don't want that. I didn't say you said it. I said you said earlier that people said, don't be so defensive,

that people don't want a black lawyer or people that said they don't want a black accountant or people would not like, you know, somebody black representing them. So I'm just going to feel that way. I'm always for a good investment. You know what I'm saying? If somebody's doing something that's thinking left field, out of the box, like all that, we do entertainment now. We know that's fleeting, that comes and goes.

But something that's going to be around for a while, something of some substance, absolutely. I'm all in for that all the time. I'm with you. All right. Well, don't forget Denzel Washington will be joining us. Stop saying that, man. It's so disrespectful to him.

His name is John David Washington. He plays Ricky on Ballers. That's right. Well, we'll be kicking it with him in a little bit. And we got rumors coming up? Well, let's talk about Power, the season premiere. How did that show do? We'll tell you about all of the records that it broke. And then we'll tell you about a rapper who is opening a restaurant in

Atlanta. Okay, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. The Rumor Report. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report.

The Breakfast Club. How well did the premiere of Power do on Starz? Apparently, 2.26 million people watched it live, okay? Wow. Very well deserved. So that is a viewership record for Starz. It's the most ever for a Starz original series. Drop one of the clues bombs for Power.

By the way, Power keeps breaking its own records. Because we're constantly announcing that Power is the highest rated for a Starz original series. Drop one of Clues bombs for Power. By the way, Power keeps breaking its own records. Because we're constantly announcing that Power is the highest rated show on Starz, the highest rated premiere. It keeps breaking its own records. It was the most watched episode in Starz history. Very well deserving. The only thing I hate about Power is the fact that my TV does not say play next episode when the episode is over.

You got to wait a week. I don't want to wait a week. I want to binge watch it. So you know 50 Cent was going off about it, right? I saw he posted a picture of Diddy and everything. Diddy? I missed that. What did Diddy got to do with power?

50 don't do it. Don't be that petty. What does Diddy have to do with anything? He must have took it down. I don't see it anymore. Diddy don't even do TV. Oh, Revolt. Never mind.

He does Revolt. I forgot. He has a whole network. You're right. And we're on it right now. I forgot all about that. All right. Now let Revolt, never mind. They does Revolt. I forgot. He has a whole network. You're right. And we're on it right now. I forgot all about that. All right, now let's discuss 2 Chainz. He is going to be getting into the restaurant business.

He is partnering with Hookah Hideaway owner Michael Dillard. He's going to open Escobar Restaurant and Tapas. Okay, that's going to be in Atlanta. So he tweeted out, I think it's time I let y'all in on my newest venture as an entrepreneur. This spot is called Escobar Lounge, my first club lounge, in the city of Atlanta off Peter Street. God is good.

We'll be giving opportunities and hiring reliable employees in the near future. One love, two change. Here's a trivia question, right? If it's a Spanish restaurant, is it still a black restaurant? Is it black-owned? If it's black-owned, yes, it's a black-owned Spanish restaurant, you dumbass. I'm just asking. I'm just asking.

I'm not even the highest grade of weed in this country, and I know that. It's a black-owned Spanish restaurant. Okay. As stupid as I am, I can understand that. That sounds right to you? That sounds perfectly right. A black-owned Spanish restaurant. They got Chinese-owned black hair stores.

Why not? Yeah. Why not? Okay. All right. All right, guys. Kelly Price. People were upset at her.

Now, Envy, you were here. Kelly Price. Oh. Kelly Price. You were at the Indiana Black Expo, right? She was there. Yeah, she was there. Do you know why people were mad?

Huh? She's still big? No, I think she lost some of that weight, but she's still big, though. Well, people were going in on her because she was at the gospel showcase. She didn't know. And she was performing, and she sang As We Lay.

What's wrong with that? Well, that song is about committing adultery. And so they were upset that she would sing a song like that. I'm going to explain what happened, though. Yeah, she didn't know. Yeah, it's about a man and a woman having an affair. Okay. So people were mad.

What's the problem? It was a gospel segment. God's not around. Gospel Expo. I can't ask for forgiveness for adultery? Now, what really happened was, okay, the Indiana Black Expo tweeted out and put on Instagram, they thanked Kelly Price for participating in the We Love Music conference, but they said she was never scheduled to perform as part of the gospel explosion.

She was originally scheduled to perform two songs at 3 p.m., which was an hour before the start of that, so people got confused because the schedule changed, so when she went on they thought it was part of the gospel expo, but it was really supposed to be earlier. It doesn't matter. She posted a series of clips as well, saying that church bigotry is unacceptable. Absolutely. I can't

stand you judgmental church contradictory folks. She said, I either truly represent Christ's views and his love or shut up. Christians are the ones who make Christ look bad. We cannot win people because all they see is hate and shade. I'm God's child too. And this is my thing. The earth is God's turf, right?

All that is created by God. God is omnipresent. So what's the difference between performing as we lay at the iHeart Festival and performing it at a gospel convention. It's all the same. It was just the people that was there. What happened was it was an all-day thing, and during certain times, certain people had certain times to perform. Like, I DJ'd at a certain time.

If I had to DJ between 3 and 4, they'd have got at me, too, because some of the music I played was secular. It don't matter. You play that music anyway in other places. God is always present. This is Rico Loves Expo So part of his expo He did the We Love Music Yeah so he

Just wanted to make it clear That she had No clue It was the gospel portion Of the show She was asked By me to come he said And be part of

My We Love Music conference I'm not gonna lie When I read that story I thought that she just Did a gospel rendition Like as we lay At the feet of Jesus I didn't think of anything that she was actually

doing a song about adultery. And that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. If you're committing adultery, that's when you need God anyway. So why not be at the gospel convention or expo or whatever it is, performing that record. Alright, now when we come back, thank you Yee for those rumors. Some of y'all cheating with the pastor right now, but I ain't gonna say nothing. I'm gonna mind

my business. A lot of women, a lot of females been going crazy on Twitter, Instagram, and social media. Oh my gosh, can I tell you, all my friends have been hitting me up about this guy. You know, one of your friends hit me up about this guy. I was like, oh my God, he's so hot. He's definitely fine. I was like, slow down, thirsty. One of my homegirls definitely hit me

this weekend and said he's gonna be there on Monday. I don't know how she knew. I don't know either, but she wanted me to hook him up. Alright, when we come back, Denzel Washington's son, actor John David. He's from the HBO show Ballers. I think that he would like for you to lead with John David from the HBO show Ballers. He plays Ricky on Ballers. Who happens to be Denzel Washington's son.

No, you lead with the big stuff. I think so. But I think that he would rather you lead with his name first. You got to lead. He's his own man. You got to lead with the big stuff. Denzel Washington, and they listening, and then you go, son. Then they might not be listening.

Then you got to say actor John David Quick from HBO show Ballers. Well, Ballers is a big enough show, I think, that people watch. All right. When we come back. From the show starring The Rock, Ballers, we have John David Washington, who plays Ricky on the show. Well, John David, you just got to keep your grind going, bro. You know what I'm saying? At this point in your life, everybody comes before you.

It's the rock. I'm sorry. It's the rock. It's the dad. It is what it is. Yeah, all right. When we come back, we'll talk to him. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. That was one dance morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. He introduced himself as John David. That's right. JD.

John David. JD. Hold that in. This guy's getting a lot of now, by the way, man. That's right. J.D. John David. This guy's getting a lot of... Now, by the way, man. That's how it looks like. Women love this man. Why do they love him so much? I guess because they think he's attractive.

Do you think he's attractive to Charlamagne? That's not... There we go. Well, he's the star of the show, Ballers. Nah, that's true. It's an ensemble. But that's how... I wouldn't call you a true. It's an ensemble. But that's how... I wouldn't call you a star.

It's an ensemble. The Rock is on the show. The Rock is a star, but you're one of the... We got Omar Benson Miller. We got Troy Garrity. We got Andy Garcia. The Rock is the face of it. You're a featured baller on the show, though.

I'm one of the athletes. I'm one of the athletes. Now, you played at Morehouse, right? Yes, I did. And then you was in Canadian football. Morehouse was a football team? He played for the St. Louis Rams. First of all, yeah, we do have a football team.

I didn't know that. Yeah, yes, you did. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. Now, we had to bring our own equipment, bring our own goal posts, stuff like that, but it was legit. We had refs from time to time. You had refs?

Yeah. Now, you actually tried out for the St. Louis Rams. I was practice squad two seasons, and it was a great experience, a wonderful experience. Did you make the team? No, I never did. My first carry in the league started at our own goal line, at the one-yard line, rushed for nine yards.

Peyton Manning was against Indianapolis Colts. So it was a very memorable moment, and I didn't really touch the field after that. Did you think you would get into acting eventually? I always wanted to do it my whole life. Even before football? Yeah, definitely before. It preceded the football quest because I saw my father do Shakespeare in the Park

when I was like five years old. And he's my favorite writer. Who's your father again? Here's for people that don't know. Oh, his last name's Washington. Denzel Washington. Denzel! Okay, I remember you guys.

Denzel Washington. Denzel Washington's son. Exactly. No, not that one. Denzel is your dad. Not that one. God bless him. Denzel Washington is Isaiah Washington's son. Exactly. No, not that one. Not that one. God bless him. But yeah, and my mother

actually was making more money than he was when they started. She was on Broadway, Juilliard. Really? Yeah, pianist, classically trained.

You know, she was getting on their first date. She paid for the date. Wow. That was a good investment. Yeah. That was a great investment. That was a great investment.

I'm going to tell you what your mom did. She was reaching for her wallet hoping that he was going to be like, no, no, no, I got this. Oh, is that what she did? He didn't. He didn't have it though, right. That's why he has it now every time. Whatever you want, babe.

But you know, it's interesting though because when you have a legendary father like you do, a lot of children don't want to do what they did because it's hard to fill those shoes. Well, that's what football served as. It was my independent card. There was nothing he—I earned my own scholarship. I'm very prideful about that, very proud of that. Because, yeah, they didn't pay for my schooling. I was able to make the All-American team.

I was ranked nationally coming out of high school. I took it very seriously because it was all I had. It was my, again, independent card. So I wanted to act, but I became almost scared and apprehensive later around 1920 because I was already in this lane of ball. 1920?

No, when I was 19 years old. No, no, no. No wonder your daddy looked so young. Y'all preserving each other? I was like, 19, 20. We don't talk about that. We don't talk about that. But, yeah, so, yeah, it was my quest to make it.

I did it as far as I could. Was it odd when your dad would come to the games? Because, I mean, he would take the shine from you playing. It was all good because I had a helmet on. So, no, it was like, who's that Washington kid? Who's that kid running the ball? And, oh, that's Denzel Washington's kid? Oh, wow, we didn't know.

But you also ended up in the movie Malcolm X. Oh, yeah. What role did you play in Malcolm X? Oh, you got to watch it to the very end. There's kids that stand up and say, I'm Malcolm X, and I'm the first kid up. Oh, wow. Did you want to do that, or was your dad like, come on, just come get a little candy? No, Spike showed love on that

He said Yeah he said Go ahead and step up And do it I did about seven times Seven takes And yeah it was fun You got paid

Nah Nah No I did not That's a very memorable Part in that movie though You strike me No it is though Is it really

Hell yeah The kids Yes That part was strong And after you watched The whole 20 hours of the movie, at the end, it's like, I am Malcolm X. You're like, yes, I am Malcolm X as well.

Thank you. But you seem like you don't like to tell people that that's your pops. Absolutely not. Like I said, he came in and said, hey, I'm John David. Yeah, I don't. And again, football helped with that. I was able to just, I know acting, it would be obviously the subject that always gets brought up.

But that's, you know, that's what it is. And that's why I talk about Pauletta Washington. Right. Mom. Hello. Because she, in a lot of ways, in her own right, was more talented. Whoa. Whoa.

Whoa. Well, yeah. That is a holiday discussion. Not as. Not as. No, no. See, there you go. No, no, no, no, no, no.

I just want to bring awareness. You know, moms matter. She was a classically trained pianist. Thank you. Mom lives matter. That's right. You know, it's very important that I said that. So why didn't she, like, keep it going?

She wanted to be there for us. I wasn't raised by a nanny. I wasn't raised by handles. I was raised by a village of basically my family, my grandparents, North Carolina, Catawba County, Rootin' Tate and Newton. That's right. And, you know, every summer, spring,

we'd be out there, and she was very hands-on. I think that was very important in my upbringing. Made me the person I am today. Humble first. God-fearing man. I mean, you had various fathers in your life, too, though. You had John Q. That's a good point.

But then you had training day, Dad. Alfonso. I'm sure he brought some of those roles home. That's a good point. I don't know. I was playing football, so I was in my lane. Well, hopefully not Moe Better Blues, Dad. Oh, Bleak?

You remember that? Yeah. Bleak. I know a girl that really likes you, bro. I'm being honest with you. Dead ass. Don't try to hook nobody up. Get out of here.

She texted me this weekend. She was like, I heard you got my crush coming Monday. And I was like, who? I didn't even know. I forgot. Then he told me he was coming. And I was like, yo, you want me to hook you up? Who is this person?

I'm going to show you a picture. No, you know her. You know her. You know her. I don't want to blow it up, though. Is she an artist? I'm not going to blow it up. Is she a dentist?

Hold on. Did she graduate from college? Can she read? Is she educated? I'm going to just show you the picture. Are you single first before you look at this picture? Absolutely. Absolutely.

Depending on who it is. Oh, you guys are, yeah, you guys have the beef, don't you? No. Hey, I saw y'all right here. Y'all were getting. Lil Mama? No. Don't y'all, didn't y'all have a quarrel here once before?

No, that's the homie though. Oh, okay. Azalea Banks. So you want the lob? Let's, how long, Let's wait until commercial break. Okay, all right. I got you. I got you.

Little mama. Go to the office. Shout out to Azalea Banks, by the way. All right, we have more with John David. Washington, when we come back, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

That was Excuse Me, Miss. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now we have John David Washington in the building. That's Denzel Washington's son. Is there a certain nepotism in Hollywood that comes with being Denzel's son? I certainly hope not.

I mean, I earned this job. I auditioned, what, nine times, played two different characters. The creator of our show, Steve Levinson, was the last to sign off. He was the hardest critic who works with Mark Wahlberg. So it was, I feel like I've proved myself to be

able to get this job. So I don't think so. Let's talk about Ballers a little bit. Okay, because they actually do use real NFL team names, which I didn't know you could really do that. Me neither. So there's no legal issue? Maybe there is. I heard NFL was mad about Ballers. Okay, because they actually do use real NFL team names, which I didn't know you could really do that. Me neither. Me neither. So there's no legal issue? Maybe there is.

I heard the NFL was mad about balls. Yeah, I heard that too. They were upset about them. Mark Wahlberg actually said that the NFL was mad about the show, and the commissioner had actually said to him, this is not a good idea. Really? Yeah.

And then Mark Wahlberg said he thought it was a good thing because you get the word out there with the crazy stuff, the financial side of it, get these guys to realize they got to be more careful with what they do with their money. Right. The mandate, I think, for us is to educate, especially the guys coming. Ninety percent of the players in the NFL dreamt about being there since they were like five years old. So like so there's nothing like motivated millionaires. And you see that especially playoff play. But like how you like, how you manage your money, it's not taught. It's not instituted in these young kids' heads.

So I think it's important for us to show that we have a responsibility to do that through this medium. And so, I mean, with all the negative stuff that comes with it, they're human beings as well. You see human beings betray human beings on this show. And they have faults and there's controversy. They have major decisions to make. In season two, you see that with Ricky's character. You're going to see he has a lot. The word is discernment.

He has to really figure out what he's going to do in the latter part of his years. And that transitional point, too, of a football player. A good example of that is Curtis Martin. I don't know if you guys know who Curtis Martin is. Jet. He was a Jet. And he's transitioned beautifully from football to businessman. We need more examples like that.

He needs to come on this show and talk about his transition because a lot of NFL players get lost. Football players in general get lost because you've been doing this since you were like seven years old. Your body's acclimated to around the August, September time. It's time to play ball. It's time to strap up. When that's gone, a big piece of you is gone.

And I'm no exception. My first check I got, and I'm pretty smart with my money. I'm conservative, really. I bought a flat-screen TV. You know what I mean? That doesn't sound too crazy. To me, it is because I was in an extended stay with a flat-screen TV. I was like at the Kenwood Suite.

An extended stay? What the hell is that? Denzel Washington in an extended stay. Why do you want to scrub it so bad for no reason? Because I feel like I earned it. That's what it's all about. Let me ask you, you played football. If you had a son, would you let your son play football?

Absolutely, positively not. Why? Because it breaks your heart. Not even the physical part. The business will break your heart. The NFL stands for not for long. I agree. Well, aren't you kind of glad then that things

didn't work out with, you know, your football career, with the Rams? I'm so blessed that it happened the way it did. Playing in the UFL, playing in Germany, I got those experiences. I got to see what the business is like, you know, and the best man, the best woman

doesn't necessarily get the job. I've seen politics. I'm not saying that it worked against me, but the Denzel factor worked against me in that medium. They teased you a lot. I feel like you might have been fighting your passion for a long time. Because I feel like your passion probably was acting. It was.

But you probably was like, nope, I'm not going to do it. Exactly. Because I don't want to be in my father's shadow. Exactly. It was a positive rebellion crusade, if you will, because football was still, I used it for my benefit. I took all that, I guess, resentment from people judging me. Making friends, I'm always questioning,

are they really into me? Are they really like me for me? Or is it because of who my father is, who my parents are? So, yeah, I used it to kind of push me through certain hurdles of life. But, yeah, I wanted to do this my whole life. I've never been happier. I can definitely tell you that. Was your dad around much?

Because, I mean, I'm sure he was shooting movie after movie after movie. And he was. And I'm so thankful that he was. Why? Because he was a father that provided. He was a father that went to work, didn't apologize for it, worked hard. And those values, those hard work that lunch pail, helmet, going to work every day

is instilled in all of us. Because there's two different types of dads. There's a father that's always there, and then there's the father that provides that can not be there as much. And with you, did that affect you much with your dad not being there as much? Because I try to look at my son and be like, I try to be there as much as possible, but then I gotta go get that bacon, though. Right, right.

Was your daddy Malcolm X or Malcolm Little is what he's from? Oh, right, right. You mean red? Was he red? Yeah, was he red? Oh, well, no. He was, you know, he's an educated man. He's a preacher's kid.

My grandfather was a preacher. So he understood certain values. And, again, I'm just a lucky child. All four of us. There's four of us. I'm the oldest. And we're lucky to have him in our lives. Are you afraid that since you play a football player named Ricky on the show

that eventually on the show somebody may pull up in a red Hyundai and shoot at you? Oof. What the? Oof. Charlemagne the guy, ladies and gentlemen. There it is right there. No, I'm not fearful of that. I guess it is a possibility.

I'm not fearful. I don't get you. What do you mean? You never seen Boys in the Hood? Of course, but I get it. I get the reference. I get it. Shout out to Singleton.

You laugh at your father's memes? He was in character. He's a method actor. He's in character, all right? And that's that New York thing with the sweatsuit and all that. That's that Mount Vernon, baby. You know, he's, yeah, he's very comfortable in his own skin and mustache. Who was he playing?

Magnificent Seven. Oh, that's coming out. Yeah, that looks dope. Yeah, yeah. Antoine Fuqua. And, yeah, they're doing that thing. Now, you said you laugh at your father's memes. Have you ever showed them?

Any of the Uncle Denny's memes? My siblings do. Like my sisters, man. They're tough. They're a tough crowd. And yeah, they keep up with all that stuff and they humble him. How does he react? What is that?

What? Nah, nah. That's funny. Ha, ha, ha. And then he just keeps on moving. You really don't like being asked questions about your pops. I understand. I wonder what is the actual pressure, though.

What do you mean? What kind of pressure? I don't feel like, what do you mean? Like, just in general. From questions? Yeah, like, what's the problem of being a superstar's son? He probably wants to talk about what he has going on instead of talking about being...

Did you have trust issues growing up with people? Well, like I alluded to before, it does make it tricky making friends and relationships, significant others, all that. I've been in two relationships, and they both faltered because of the trust thing. Really? Paranoid by nature. When they wanted to pick you for the gram with your cell? No, actually, it might have been my own paranoia that sabotaged the relationships.

They were okay in hindsight. It was me. Do you like me for me? Exactly. But I'm me for me? Exactly. But I'm not feeling sorry for myself. It's a blessing to have two very active and alive, healthy parents and a strong family.

All the accomplishments, accolades aside, just to have that in today's world and the climate of what's going on, I'm very, very happy. Well, if it means anything, when I first watched the first season of Ballers, I just thought it was a dope show. I didn't know you was his son until after the fact. If it means, you know, I don't know if that means anything.

That means everything. I'm like, I didn't know. I didn't know. Really? Thank you. So that means I'm doing my job. And I know people around you, they never even said that you is. Well, that's why I've been a bit apprehensive to doing certain kinds of press

or getting myself out there because that'd be the subject. And at least I'm trying to build a catalog here. This is a real thing. I take it serious. You know, I'm studying right now, HB Studios. I'm hoping to do Shakespeare in the Park next summer. Like, those are my aspirations. Speak to him.

Do you ask for my advice? You know, he's that tough love New York thing. Like, you ain't done nothing. You ain't done nothing. He's telling you the truth, though. Exactly. But I don't need it. I got it, Pop.

But you can't compare your career to his, either. There's not too many people who can't, period. Well, it's an anomaly what he's done. Does he watch ballers? Nah. Well, he... He doesn't even watch it? I shouldn't.

I don't want to say it on the air. Say it, man. He didn't like it. Nah, nah, nah. He didn't like it. He doesn't like the writing. My mom watches it didn't like it. No, no, no. He didn't like it. I got very, my mom watches it. She watches it.

And my brothers and sisters, they support me and they love the show. They love what it's about and they promote it. It almost seems like, you know, when your dad is that great, you can never be as good. So he's like, no, I don't like how you did that. That's what it seems like. I do that with my son. No matter how good my son is, I'm like, oh, well, you should have juked left instead of right.

See that? Yeah. It's the same thing. Yeah, I'm like, oh, well, you should have juked left instead of right. See that? Yeah. It's the same thing. Yeah, it's a good thing, though. All right, we got more with John David Washington when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

That was Kent Jones with Don't Mind. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, we have a special guest, of course, John David Washington in the building. That's Denzel Washington's son. We saw, like, O'Shea Jackson Jr. in the building. That's Denzel Washington's son. We saw like O'Shea Jackson Jr. He played Cube.

That's how he got his break. And him playing Cube has attention on him now. Would you ever play your father in a biopic since you want to separate yourself so much? Wow. I shouldn't cuss. Because I have Pastor Bernard in here, right? You got a pastor coming right after you. Oh, really? Yeah, Pastor John Gray. In heaven's know. Heaven's know. I would Pastor Bernard in here, right? Yeah, a lot of pastors. You got a pastor coming right after you, actually. Oh, really?

Yeah, Pastor John Gray. In heaven's know. Heaven's know. I would never. Why not? Why? I mean, again, because he's DW, man. Can't nobody be him.

Can't nobody. But you're an actor. Yeah, if anybody could get close, it's you. I would never do that. Never. I wouldn't disrespect. No, that would be disrespectful. What do you hope that people get out of watching the show, Ballers?

As we said before, Mark Warburg was saying this would be a good educational lesson for some of the players out there. I know we all read that article a while back when they said 70% of all football players end up going broke within, I think, like seven years or something like that. Oh, three years. NBA, I think it was like. Anyway. Because none of the money is guaranteed in football.

I mean, you get a signing bonus, but that's about it. You're playing for incentives. And it's a health-based contract as well. You don't usually play all 16 games every year. So that has a lot to do with the stipulations within the contract. But I hope people see human beings, these young adults, having to be grown men like that. I mean, instantaneously their life changes right after the draft.

Like, as soon as the check comes in, their life has changed. They got to take care of mom or take care of cousin, take care of Pookie and all them. And you don't realize that they're not really making money like that. Not like that. Exactly. And so, you know, this kind of lifestyle, this luxurious lifestyle, it fades fast. And then you're left with bupkis, right? And then you get depressed depression kicks

in and you know just the pressure cookers of having to maintain the stability financial stability of all your significant friends and others and family that's pressure and so so for people to see that they're just human beings they're not they might be able to do superhuman things on sundays monday nights but they feel they hurt just like y'all, just like everybody else. They go through real things. Yeah, we see with the adultery and everything that happens on there and the cheating on the girlfriends. I mean, you don't have to be a ball player.

You're right. I think athletes unfairly are at the forefront of that promotion of adultery is the word you used. Or cheating. Cheating. I've been even seeing one episode, the side piece kills him in the car. They're driving. Right, the opening.

That's the opening beat of the show. Yeah, yeah, the pilot, right. So, I mean, but this happens everywhere. You know, I mean, the guy at McDonald's can still be a cheater. Absolutely. You know what I mean? He's like, he's cooking up your fries, and he's got two, three women on the side. You know what I mean?

So it happens. You know, it's just a real-life situation. Now, all the celebrity women who have wanted to sleep with Denzel over the years and can't because he's married, right? I know you want to distance yourself from him,

but what if they wanted to give you something? True. What if Angela Bassett was like, yo. That's a good question. That's disrespectful. Shout out to Kourtney.

I love Angela Bassett. Oh, I forgot she's married. My bad, damn. My bad, Angela. Take it easy. Sinai Lathan. Sinai's like, look. That's a good one. That's a good aunt. Take it easy. Somebody else. Somebody else. Senai Lathan. Senai's like, look. That's a good one.

That's a good question. Look, son. All right. Oh, my God. Yeah. And she's like in a relationship too, right? French Montana. That's nothing.

Allegedly. I don't know. I'm thinking that. French might love her. That's my guy. That's love is in the air. But would you take advantage of these celebrity women that wanted to get with you? Nah.

That they couldn't get with your pops? Nah. You don't want no perks from being in this house. He has already said over and over again that it's hard for him to even trust women because he wants to know if they like him for him. Why would he want to be with somebody because they want to sit with him? He didn't say be with. He said smash. Are you listening to me?

Because she is. No, he didn't say be with. He said smash. There's a difference. That's what I'm saying. You listening to her. She's talking about relationships. I'm talking about fucking.

He doesn't even use his social media. He doesn't go around penis everywhere. Do that again. Tell him one more time. I want to give all thanks to God. Glory to God for having me be here and doing y'all today. This is... You did it?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Uh-huh. Yes, he did. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Well, is there anything else you want to tell us about that you have coming up? We know season two of Ballers just started.

I saw you last night using the chainsaw to cut the ice up. Well, is there anything else you want to tell us about that you have coming up? We know season two of Ballers just started. I saw you last night using the chainsaw to cut the ice up. Yeah, yeah, that was fun. That was fun. Yeah, just continue to watch and watch the character grow. Trying to do more things. I'm auditioning as we speak. I'm trying to promote.

Your father still auditions too, though, which people don't realize. He does? He doesn't? Somebody lied to me. What? Somebody lied to me. Somebody told what? Somebody lied to me. Somebody told me they saw Denzel. I don't think he auditioned. That nigga only auditioned since I've been alive.

No, like at least 20 years. I promise you somebody told me they saw Denzel at an audition. I said the same thing. Like, Denzel still auditioning? Yeah, maybe he was reading people, like auditioners. Oh, you're right. You're right. You're right.

You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. He directed a new film, too. My sister worked on that with him as well. I got to shout out my siblings, too. My sister Olivia, she's on Mr. Robot on Wednesday film, too. My sister worked on that with him as well. I got to shout out my siblings, too. My sister Olivia, she's on Mr. Robot on Wednesdays.

Okay, she acts, too? She's the actress. Now, my father promotes her. He said... No, seriously. My pop said... I'm not lying. My pop's like...

Is this what this is about? No, no, no. You want more promotion from the label? No, no, I don't. No, no, no. Because he tells the truth. And he's like, Olivia, my sister named Olivia, you're going to win

an Oscar one day. And I believe it. I know it. So what did he tell you? Keep grinding. Keep grinding. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don't worry,

you too can be in a Tyler Perry movie. You'll be in a Tyler Perry movie one day. Yeah. Goodness. What did he tell you? He just said,

keep grinding? Nah, he just said, yeah, just keep grinding. He don't believe in you? Of course he believes in you. He just knows how hard it's going to be for you. He just knows the truth is, and I agree, is Olivia Washington. She's the real deal.

Wow. All right. Well, I'm going to hook you up with this girl. Because you got to get something out of being Denzel's son. I am. I got life. I'm pretty sure he can hook himself up. And by the way, she did not say Denzel's son. I am. I got life. I'm pretty sure he can hook himself up. Thank you. And by the way, by the way, she did not say Denzel's son.

I asked her. She said, she did. She said, my crush is coming. And I said, who? And she said, John David. And I text Q and I was like, yo, who coming Monday? Who is John David? I didn't know who that was.

I like that. I had to think about it. I like that. This guy is all callous over here. All right. Well, we got John David Washington. Thank you, sir. That man said John David.

No middle name either. John David is one name. I don't have a middle name. Only one in the family without a middle name. So you just made up John David? Wow. They just really treat you crazy. John David, he was a Heisman Trophy winner.

My father loves football. So David ain't even your name? Come on, man. John David is my name. I just don't have a middle name. He has two first names. Yeah, exactly. Oh, got you, got you. Okay. John man. John David is my name, but I just don't have a middle name. He has two first names. Yeah, exactly. Oh, got you, got you.

Okay. John D., John Q's son, ladies and gentlemen. It's the Breakfast Club, boy. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip.

The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, yesterday it was reported that Taylor Swift was thinking about filing a crime report. Okay. That is for Kanye and Kim secretly recording her and then releasing that recording.

Now, everybody knows in California that you just can't do that. Everybody knows that. Right. You can't record a phone conversation unless all parties agree. Right. Well, here's some new news, and this was on TMZ. The problem is that if someone records a confidential communication,

the other party has to consent. But if that conversation may be overheard, then it's no holds barred. So apparently... Kim overheard it. Well, it's not just that, but Rick Rubin was there.

They said in the full conversation, Rick Rubin was speaking from the background, and members of the crew that were filming Kanye also were in the room speaking, so she knew that other people were in the room and could hear her. I mean, you have to know when you're on the phone with a Kardashian or in the presence of a Kardashian,

cameras are probably rolling, right? Well, Kanye's not a Kardashian. Yes, he is. Yes, he is. Only a Kardashian would call Taylor Swift and ask for permission, you know, to approve lyrics. Oh, you said he got soft. No hip-hop artist should do that. Hip-hop artists have the most freedom of speech

of any rapper. They say what they want. They speak what they want. He should not be calling no pop artist to get permission to put her name in a song. Alright, now guess who has joined Empire as a regular, a series regular? Tyrese. Taye Diggs. Close. Same difference. Now, the season

three premiere is on September 21st and he is going to be joining. He has a major recurring role and he is going to play a city councilman who kind of reminds you of Barack Obama. He went to Harvard Law School, got his diploma from there. And he is also focusing his energies on community organizing and local politics. So a lot of people are saying this is very reminiscent of our president, Barack Obama.

All right. Bill Cosby is now completely blind, according to a source. Don't laugh. What is so funny, Charlamagne? Because, man, I told Bill to die three years ago, man. No time to die. Being blind isn't enough, Bill. You should have just clocked out, bro.

People just can't die. You just can't say die and they die. Listen, being blind isn't enough, Bill. You should have just clocked out. They said right now only his very loyal wife, Camille, is at his side, as well as a small group of lawyers and people that he's been having to work with and keep on his payroll. So his wife is back because I thought she was gone at one time. No, she hasn't left.

She just she's been very loyal to him throughout everything. He's confined to his house in Pennsylvania. He can't really go anywhere. He has a degenerative eye condition. It's called keratoconus, and it causes the eye's cornea to bulge. So, yeah. They just said on Monday that he can sue Andrea Constance, who she says that he drugged and raped her in 2004, for breaching that confidentiality agreement that she signed with him

because they settled out of court. So now the judge did give permission just yesterday that he can go ahead and sue her back. You know Bill Cosby didn't have all these rape allegations. You know how sad people would feel that Bill Cosby, America's dad, is blind? Instead, you laugh. Yes. That's a shame.

But you know what? In court, he can't be proven guilty. Why not? Is this the lady that said... Okay, shut up. Shut up, Andy. I don't need you to talk no more today. I mean, seriously, honestly.

No, I'm serious. That is good. Without you, don't you mix at 9? Don't talk during your mix. No, I'm serious. That is good. Don't you mix at 9? Don't talk during your mix. No, I'm serious, though. You don't have to talk in the 8 o'clock hour. It's fine. Envy is a genius.

It's okay. You're a genius. We don't need you to talk no more. No, that would be a good defense because he can't point out the people at a job. I'm legally blind. There you go. Shut up. See?

See? I told Bill Cosby to die three years ago. And that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. Because I saw where this was going. I've never seen a legacy torn down the way Bill Cosby's die three years ago. And that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. Because I saw where this was going. I've never seen a legacy torn down the way Bill Cosby's legacy has been torn down. Ruined. Y'all ain't even do this to R. Kelly and Michael Jackson, and they allegedly touch kids.

Okay? Okay. All right, that's your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. Thank you, Miss Yee. You're welcome. Charlamagne! I can't see.

Shut up, man. Where's Charlamagne? He's over there on the right side. All right, you keep playing if you want to. Bill Cobb, he wasn't always blind. You better be careful, ye. I haven't done anything. Charlamagne?

Yes. Who you giving that donkey to? I'm going to let the chopper fly. I got a couple shots I need to land. I need, first of all, what's the lady name? What's Donald Trump's wife's name? Melania Trump. Melania Trump.

She needs to come to the front of the congregation. Matter of fact, I just need the whole Donald Trump presidential campaign to come to the front of the congregation. There you go. I ain't let the chopper fly on Trump in a minute. All right. We'll get to that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Charlamagne, say the gang. Don't get under the shade. Charlamagne. You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day.

So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit it with the heat. It's a breakfast club, bitch. Who's donkey of the day today? Donkey of the Day for Tuesday, July 19th goes to Melania Trump. Listen, man, the only reason I had interest in the Republican National Convention last night is because the greatest comedy in America right now is being created by Donald Trump's presidential campaign. There is no sketch that the Wayne brothers, Arneal Brennan and Dave Chappelle, ever wrote that is funnier than Donald Trump's presidential campaign right now.

I mean, just yesterday, I had a couple really great laughs because of Donald Trump's campaign. It was announced that Donald Trump appointed ex-apprentice star Omarosa Mannygoat as director of African American outreach for his campaign. There isn't too many names that are blacker than Omarosa Mannygoat. But just because you have a black name doesn't mean you connect with black people because Omarosa

has to be top three most disconnected from the black experience, black people out here. Now, this is hilarious to me. My man Craig Melvin, salute to Craig Melvin, South Carolina all day. Craig Melvin of MSNBC presented Omarosa Manigault with a poll showing that none of the African American voters in Ohio said Trump would get their

vote. Omarosa Manigault replied, I'm wondering who they polled because I just spent an amazing weekend with African Americans for Trump and I'm surrounded by people who want to see Donald Trump as the next president of the United States who are African-American. Omarosa, when you say you are surrounded by African-Americans who want to see Donald Trump be the next president, understand that Stacey Dash and Diamond and Silk don't count.

Okay? And if it means anything, Omarosa Mannygoat, she did start her African-American outreach yesterday by liking one of my tweets on Twitter. All right? Now, let's get to the donkey of the day. Melania Trump, who spoke last night at the Republican National Convention. Ladies and gentlemen, the Trumps never have anything good to say about the Obamas. They want to make America great again,

which means they think America sucks now under the current leadership. If you think the current leadership is terrible, then someone please tell me why Melania Trump is out here swiping parts of Michelle Obama's 2008 Democratic National Convention speech. Michelle in 2008 delivered a speech called One Nation. I'm assuming Melania Trump's speech was called One America because it was the same damn thing. Now we have a mashup of both speeches. I'm going to play them both together. They're not hard to tell who's who.

All you need to know, Melania is the one with the accent keep in mind michelle 2008 melania 2016. rock and i were raised with so many of the same values you work hard for what you want in life that your word is your bond that you do what you say you're gonna do my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life then your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise that you treat people with dignity and respect even if you don't know them and even if you don't agree with them that your treat people with respect and Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values and to pass them on to the next generation because we want our

children and all children in this nation to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them. Because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them. Swipe for no swiping! Swipe for no swiping! Now, in light of history,

we have seen some white people do this before. Let's be real. They steal. Okay, we come with New Edition. They come with New Kids on the Block. We come with MC Hammer. They come with Vanilla Ice. We come with Jill Scott. They come with Adele. Gucci Man makes Lemonade. They come with Don Lemon. This is just what some white people have

historically done. Okay? They steal from us and don't give us credit. But thanks to the almighty internet, this plagiarism does not go unnoticed. Now, when Matt Lauer asked Melania Trump about her speech prior to the convention,, this plagiarism does not go unnoticed. Now, when Matt Lauer asked Melania Trump about her speech prior to the convention, she said this. Has she gone over the speech with you? Did you practice it on the plane?

I read once over it and that's all because I wrote it and with a little help as possible, so... Melania, you know damn well you didn't write this speech. You had speechwriters, and they didn't make up anything about this speech either. All they did was

trace what Michelle Obama said in 2008. Contrary to popular belief, imitation is not the best form of flattery. Imitation is just imitation. But Michelle should take your pathetic attempt to replicate her speech as a compliment, because if I was you, I would want to be her too. Now, we reached out to the God, the greatest MC of all

time, Ghostface Killer for Comment, and he had this to say about Melania Trump's speech. Be biting mad styles. So I be hating, man. I can't stand a biting ass. Let me tell you something, God. I don't want you to sound like me for real, because I'm approaching man, for real, man. I don't want nobody to sound like me,

man, for real, son. Keep it real. Get your own shit, man, and be original. That's it. Be original. How you just gonna run off with the plug speech? Okay? I know the Trumps didn't expect to be here, but you gotta be prepared now with your own at this point in time. For you to steal from Michelle Obama

damn near word for word, you can't duplicate black girl magic. The rhythm, the cadence, the delivery, even with the same exact words, it's just not the same because sadly, Melania, when it comes to speaking and same exact words, it's just not the same because sadly, Melania, when it comes to speaking and connecting to people, you're just not great. That's why they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.

She even said my word is bond. Yeah, that was waggly. You stole that directly. Some donkey of the days just sell themselves. Give Melania Trump the biggest hee-haw, please. Now listen, we know that Donald Trump is going to be speaking at the GOP convention later this week. And he's been rehearsing his speech. He's been practicing his delivery, his cadence, his voice inflection.

Because he knows that he can either blow the party up or bring them together. So he's been really going hard on his speech. And we actually have audio from his rehearsals. This is exclusive audio from donald trump's rehearsals of his upcoming speech that he'll be giving at the gop convention i have a dream the american dream one day this big league nation will rise up and we will make america great again live out the true meaning of itsed. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created huge.

This sounds familiar, though. Some parts of it just sound like a little bit reminiscent of something. I know. Well, parts of that speech sounded great. They did. Some parts of it sounded really, really well. Like, magnificent.

You think he took that from Hove? Okay. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. All right.

All right. I told you not to talk no more today, but you don't listen. I don't know why you don't listen to me. Oh, man, I created huge. I told you,

don't talk no more today. I said, Envy, you don't have to talk no more today, but no. All right. Well, thank you for that dunk of the day, sir. Okay.

Now, when we come back, we were talking about black-owned businesses. Mm-hmm. And what we want you to do dunk of the day, sir. Okay. Now, when we come back, we were talking about black-owned businesses. Mm-hmm. And what we want you to do, we're saying that they're hard to find. Angela Yee and Charlamagne were talking earlier, and we're saying there's not enough. They're far and few. But they are out there.

They are out there. I just feel like we need more businesses of substance. We need more black hospitals. We need black banks. Right. Black schools. 800-585-1051. Black grocery stores. We're going to open up

the phone lines and we want you to shout out a black owned business in your city. That's right. And if you're white and you shop at a black owned business, you can call too. But not a barbershop. We know where to get haircuts. We know where to get haircuts. We know where to get haircuts. Hey, let me know. No, no, no. We're good with haircuts and hair salons. We need banks,

grocery stores. I want to know that kind of stuff. We're good with hair no. We're good with haircuts and hair salons. Grocery stores. I want to know that kind of stuff. We're good with haircuts. We're good with hair salons. Listen, if America falls out tomorrow, black people don't got nothing else. We know where to go get a haircut. Easily. All right? That's right.

800-585-1051. We're asking to shout out your black-owned businesses in your city. Yes. Let us know where you bank at, if it's black-owned, if your grocery shop is black-owned. Yes. I mean, if it's a toy shop. No matter what it is. 800-585-1051.

No barbershops. Didn't you just say, no, you know where to get a haircut, girl? All right, it's a breakfast club. Good morning. Girl. That was Drake Popcon, controller. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Now, we were talking about black-owned businesses this morning and said they're far and few, very hard to find at times. I'm going to tell you why it's very important that we do this at this moment in time. Why? Because at this moment in time, we are starting to see an America that is not necessarily working for us. So I feel like we need to learn from other communities and we need to start spending with our own, which is something we should have been doing a long time ago, but even more so

now. And you know, we always talk about economic boycotts, but if you do a boycott, where are you going to get your stuff? Because you can't spend with your own. If Chinese want to do an economic boycott, they can do that because they got their own places that they can go shop at. If Jewish people want to do that, they can do that because they got their own places where they can shop at. Where would we go?

Well, you can do that. It'd probably just take a lot more effort. Yes, like going out of town. Like going to Montgomery, Alabama. Or Atlanta. You know what I'm saying? Alright, well, let's open up the phone lines. Before we do, well, you, of course, you go to a lot of black restaurants. I mean, we all do. You go to Footprints, black clubs.

Okay. Oh my God, MPD. That's the problem. That's why I keep telling y'all we need more stuff of substance. We need black grocery stores, black banks, black hospitals. Not no damn clubs. Okay? Not no damn restaurants. That's cool. You're right.

But we need stuff of substance. You're right. Stop it, man. You're right. Yeah. We know where to get a haircut. We know where to get a haircut. We know where to get a haircut.

We know where to go to the club. We know where to take our son to go record some music. We want to sign some BS record label in the hood. We know where to go to the club. We know where to take our son to go record some music if you want to sign some BS record label in the hood. We know where to go to go get some food. Come on, man.

We're outside of that. We are lost. Yee, what are you doing? Any black-owned gas stations? No, I don't know who owns the gas stations. I just know I go, I look on Gas Buddy

and see where I can get That's all I'm saying. We need more of that. All right, let's go put up the phone lines and see. Hello, who's this? Joanne, calling from

Okay. tell you guys, I listen to you every morning. I'm a white woman. Just so you know, there is a black business that I actually buy hair products from off the Palmetto in North Miami. I'm off 186. They sell all kinds of hair products, and right next to them, there's a hair business

like a hair salon. I buy products there. It's amazing. A lady that just called us from the same area, too. So it's a lot of black-owned businesses in Florida. What kind of hair products do you buy, boo? I mean, all kinds of stuff. You know, whether I'm curling my hair straightening, straightening iron, combs, you know, scrunchies, everything.

I buy it there. Scrunchies. I like that. I like to hear a white woman shopping at a black-owned business because we're all American at the end of the day. I'm just encouraging and trying to empower my people to own more things. Hello, who's this? It's Boss Lady from Boston. Boss Lady from Boston.

I live in Bed-Stuy. I've never seen a black person in a cleaners before in Bed-Stuy. I've never seen a black person

in a cleaners before, on a cleaners. I've never seen. You ain't never seen the Jeffersons? I should punch you in your face. George Jefferson had his own cleaners. You should know that. But you mean you ain't never seen a black person on a cleaners? I used to want to have me a dry cleaners because of George Jefferson. The hell is wrong with you, boy?

And Envy, it's probably because of where you live, too. I've lived in Queens all my life. I moved to Jersey a couple of years ago, and I've never seen it. You did not move to Jersey a couple of years ago. The other day, I walked into a 7-Eleven. How long have you lived in Jersey? About 10 years. That's not a couple years ago.

A couple is two. The other day, I was in Jersey, right? And I went into a 7-Eleven, and it was black people behind the thing at 7-Eleven. And I really stopped, and I shook the owner's hand, because I've never seen that before. Hold on. A black person owned a 7-Eleven? Yes. Now, I've never seen a black person own a 7-Eleven, and I really stopped, and I shook the owner's hand, because I've never seen that before. Hold on. A black person owned a 7-Eleven? Yes. Now, I've never seen a black person own a 7-Eleven.

What else? Well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Kristen from Orlando, Florida. Hey, Kristen, we're talking black owned businesses. Yeah, you

got one? CNC Community Pharmacy. It's a black owned pharmacy and it's been in business for over 24 years. I, I like that. That's great.

No, no. They're really competent. That's good.

They're competent. I like that. That's the type of stuff of substance we need, black pharmacy. Hello, who's this? Tiffany. Hey, we're talking black-owned businesses.. Black pharmacy. Hello, who's this? Tiffany. Hey, we're talking black-owned businesses. You got one for us? I got two for you.

What? No. No, no, no, no, no. Correct me if I'm wrong. Did somebody say something about owning some black... All right, that's it. It's Kyle. Hello, who's this?

Hi, this is Aja from Champaign, Illinois. Hey, good morning, Mama. Good morning. How are you? We're good. We're talking black-owned businesses. You have one? Yes, sir.

It is Cool Bliss Pop Bliss in Champaign, Illinois. What is that? I'm going to go by the name. It's a popcorn shop. in Champaign, Illinois. What is that? You have to go by the name. It's a popcorn shop. Oh, they sell popcorn. That's dope. Okay. Uh-huh.

All right. Thank you, Mama. Thank you. What's the Ice Cream Man guy's name in the city? I can't remember his name. He's always on television. The one that only sells chocolate ice cream? No.

What? Who is that? What are you talking about? Who is that? I don't know who that is. There's an ice cream man on the north east side. He sells ice cream. He's a short, dark-skinned brother.

I don't know. He's always on all the stuff. He don't like, he said, he refuses to sell vanilla ice cream. He said vanilla ice cream is the devil. The moral of the story is support black-owned business without asking for a discount. All right? There you go. And the other moral of the story is don't be a victim

to circumstance. Create your own circumstances, man. I never understand why people ask for discounts from people that they're supposed to be cool with

because you should want to give that person some money so their business can do well. I would think. Absolutely. And another reason

we should create our own circumstances is because when you got black-owned businesses, you got black decision makers, you'll hire black employees, and you'll be doing more

for people in the community. I mean, think about these kids who probably go to a life of crime because they feel like they can't get no job somewhere. Or think about these people who go to jail and get out and they got criminal records and can't get no job nowhere. But when you got a black-owned business, the person owning that business understands their situation and can hire them. So I just feel like it's very

important to empower your own, man. Shout out to Revolt TV, man. Isn't that Black-owned? Yeah, Puff owns that. Shout out to Ray J. He has that bike company. What's it called? Scooty Bike. The Scooty Bike. Shout out to Rick Ross. He has a bunch of Wingstops and Checkers. Listen, all of that is great.

I love all of that. We need more hotels. We need more hotels. We need more pharmacies. We need hospitals. We need banks. We need things and substance. I'm glad that those guys have that, though, because they can still provide jobs for other Black hotels. We need more pharmacies. We need hospitals. We need banks. We need things of substance. I'm glad that those guys have that, though, because they can still provide jobs for other black people. We got to empower ourselves, man. We need some black people on some farms. Oh, we got those.

That's one thing I meant to tell Dr. Umar Johnson the other day when he said Barack hasn't done anything directly for black people. $1.2 billion has been allocated to black farmers under the Obama administration. That's dope. That is a fact. $1.2 billion has been allocated to black farmers under the Obama administration. So any of you guys out there that's getting into agriculture, y'all could have been getting some of this bread.

Alright. I only know that because I've got a few friends that have chicken farms and stuff like that. Oh yeah, I heard. Well yeah yeah, we got some rumors coming up. Yes, we are going to talk about Young Thug versus his baby mama. They had some back and forth on Twitter. It wasn't pretty. Also, Calvin Harris.

Who is he dating now that he and Taylor Swift are not together? You guys are going to be mad. All right. Well, we'll do that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Listen up. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee.

It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Let's go Yeezy. Well, young Doug was going in on his kid's mom. All right. I don't know if you guys saw this happening yesterday, but he was tweeting her and he said, my kids don't want for none, junkie, bum, asshole. And I don't want you, baby. You're ugly and stinky. The opposite of my bitch. I pay 4K a month for my two kids. Bye, you bum. But you

sent a letter to my house for a child abandonment warrant. Don't ever try to embarrass me to the public, junkie, hoe. Me or Quan don't want you. He went on and on. He said, my kids' clothes smell like pee. Monkey, bum-ass hoe. You bring my kids to see me with ishy pampers on and no changing clothes, but I'm unfit. My son's chain broke and you put a safety pin on it, but I'm unfit.

Your little sister's still pissing in bed and she's 23. Your house is empty, but you make money. Bitch, the only income you get is from me. The whole house smell like piss, but I'm unfit. And he said, so he was independent the whole four to five years we was together. They just went on and on and on. Another example of why I tell people

you should never breed with someone you can't see yourself spending the rest of your life with. But I tell fellas also, that's still the mother of your child. That you always have to keep in mind. So if you love your child, imagine if somebody insulted your mother. No matter how much baby mama drama you go into, just think about your

kids and how you would feel if somebody insulted your mother. Now she went on Twitter and responded. She said, I don't get 4K a month. My house is fully furnished and I make sure my kids are great. People will say and do anything when they are hurt. You're so in love. But you were the same person sitting at my mama house saying you were not engaged and had more hoes than Kanye West

clothes. And she said, I gave you two kids because you asked for them. I don't live with my mama's house saying you were not engaged and had more hoes than Kanye West clothes. And she said, I gave you two kids because you asked for them. I don't live with my mama. I have my own car. I work. School starts back August 22nd. What more can I say? Because I'm far from a junkie.

So she went on and on. That was a terrible insult. You got more hoes than Kanye West got clothes? Kanye West look like he wears the same thing over and over. Yeah. I mean, maybe it was a line from a rap. I don't know. All right. Now, Calvin Harris, who is he dating now that he is no longer with Taylor Swift?

She broke up with him. Well, they're saying that now he is dating Tinashe. That's a cover for Tinashe. They've been seeing each other for a couple of weeks. It's pretty casual right now. They've been on a few dates. They met in the studio when they did the song Dollar Signs together back in 2014.

They were allegedly writing songs for Rihanna at the time. They stayed in touch and now they're hanging out. They were spotted out on a date at Nobu in Malibu on Saturday.

I remember yesterday when somebody said, called up talking about Taylor Swift needs Calvin Harris to play records. No, she don't. But Tinashe, yes, she does.

How much is he worth? He's worth like what? A lot. 50, 60 million, something like that? It's worth Tinashe, yes, she does. All right. How much is he worth? He's worth like what? A lot. 50, 60 million, something like that? It's worth Tinashe getting pregnant. He do all right.

He do all right out there. He do all right out there. If you want to get, if you're looking to trap somebody, Tinashe, that's the one. All right.

So that's going to be an issue. Now, why didn't he sue for Straight Outta Compton? Well, apparently he was very busy with his lawsuit against Chris Brown and his murder case.

So he didn't have time for that. But I guess he got time now. Okay. Alright, He-Man is coming back. I don't know if anybody in here is familiar with He-Man. The Master of the Grayskull? And the Masters of the Universe. I was just watching the old He-Man with Dolph Lundgren the other day.

You got too much time, bro. I was literally just watching it because Skeletor dies at the end and then he pops back up. Well, it's been 20 years. Yes, it's supposed to have been a sequel because Skeletor popped up at the end. It's supposed to have been a sequel, yo.

Okay, you good? This guy sounds mad. You're right over there. Well, they're doing a new episode and it's going to be at San Diego's Comic-Con. And that should be pretty interesting. A new episode? Yeah, an episode.

What? They're doing a new revival of New Century He-Man. They're doing a movie? It says an episode. So they did do a movie, if you remember. They did the movie. That movie did pretty bad. That was the movie with Dolph Lundgren.

That's what I was talking about. I was watching it this weekend. But the series was in 1983. It actually got canceled after two years, and that's when they had the spinoff, She-Ra, the Princess of Power. Ooh, I remember She-Ra, too, baby. All right, well, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee.
