Good morning, TJMV. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet.

It's Monday. Yes, it's Monday. That's all we can say. It is, yeah. Truly, like, I don't even know what to say. Yeah, I'm looking at the New York Post and the New York Daily News this morning. Neither one of them look real. NBA legend daughter killed in helicopter accident. Just Kobe. Other one, Kobe Bryant, 1978-2020, with him and his daughter on the Daily News. Yeah. I don't know, man.

Very, very sad. I don't know. It's just, very sad. I don't know. It's just a reminder that death really doesn't discriminate. Like, we think certain people are untouchable. You know what I mean? We think certain things shouldn't happen to certain people because of their status, because of their celebrity, because of how much money they got. Like, you know, we just think things like this aren't supposed to happen to people like Kobe Bryant.

But even though we have so many reminders that that's never the case. Right. This is just another harsh one that death truly does not discriminate. Right. So, again, our condolences to their family. Can you imagine Vanessa Bryant and. Nope. No, I cannot.

Where are the three daughters and what they must have felt like. Dad and sister. I can't. Family members. And then there's also nine people that died in that helicopter crash in total. Yeah, I saw that. And their families as well. I can't remember his name.

He was a coach and his wife and his daughter were on the helicopter as well. John Alcibelli, his wife Carrie, and his daughter Alyssa. And then a woman's coach and her daughter were on that helicopter. Kobe's daughter and Alyssa were teammates. I was thinking about this yesterday. I think it's the unexpectedness of death that makes death so scary. Like, you just never know when it's going to happen, how it's going to happen, why it's going to happen.

I think it's just the unexpectedness of it all that just makes it so hard to deal with. Well, you know, we'll be discussing that this morning. The Grammys were last night. They did a tribute last night, and everyone was discussing that. They were outside the Staples Center, too, screaming for Kobe all night last night as well. I didn't see none of it. Now, you were in L.A., right, Yee? I was actually in L.A., and I was on the plane.

We were getting ready to take off, and I just did a post, like an ASCII post on my Instagram page, and somebody left a comment like, is it true about Kobe? And then I guess TMZ had just posted the story like a minute earlier, so I didn't believe it at first. You know how you see stories, and you're like, there's no way that this happened, and unfortunately it did. Yeah, because I'm telling you that you just look at certain people, and you just think they're indestructible.

You think that they're immortal. You don't think certain things are supposed to happen to certain people. But once again, it's just a harsh reminder that death does not discriminate. It just doesn't. Alright, well let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, of course, we'll be talking about Kobe. We'll give you some of those details, but

some of the tributes that some of his friends, former teammates, and people have to say about Kobe Bryant. Alright, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. All right, Yee, where are we starting? Well, we'll start with Kobe Bryant. There were nine people that died in that unfortunate helicopter crash. Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna, a.k.a. Gigi, as everyone called her, they were flying to Thousand Oaks, California for a basketball game.

She was expected to play. Kobe Bryant was going to be coaching, and the helicopter did crash in Calabasas. Also on that helicopter was Orange Coast College baseball coach John Altobelli, his wife Carrie, and daughter Alyssa. Gianna and Alyssa were teammates at the Mamba Academy. They would fly together routinely. Christina Mouser, she's an assistant girls basketball coach at a kindergarten through eight private school in Orange County.

She also died in that crash. Her husband wrote on Facebook, My kids and I are devastated. We lost our beautiful wife and mom today in a helicopter crash. Please respect our privacy. Thank you for all of the well wishes. They mean so much. Also, there was a tribute at the Grammys, which was last night,

and everybody was outside the Staples Center. They were mourning Kobe Bryant. They did have memorials out there as well. Alicia Keys and Boyz II Men, they did do a performance of It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday. And Alicia Keys opened the Grammys with this. Los Angeles, America, and the whole wide world lost a hero. And we're literally standing here heartbroken in the house that Kobe Bryant built. Right now, Kobe and his daughter Gianna and all of those that have been tragically lost today

are in our spirit, they're in our hearts, they're in our prayers, and I would like to ask everybody to take a moment and just hold them inside of you and share our strength and our support with their families. Kobe Bryant touched the lives of a lot of people. He transcended just basketball and Dwayne Wade had some words as well. Today is one of the saddest days in my lifetime. It seems like a bad, like a bad dream that you just want to wake up from.

It's a nightmare. I said it many times. Kobe retired from the game of basketball. He left a hole in the game of basketball. He left a hole in my wanting to play. Because when I came in the league, I chased him. I wanted to be because when I came in the league, I chased him. I wanted to be respected by him. Now Shaq posted, there's no words to express the pain I'm going through

with this tragedy of losing my niece, Gigi, and my brother, Kobe. I love you, and you will be missed. My condolences goes out to the Bryant family and the families of the other passengers on board. I am sick right now. Kobe was so much more than an athlete. He was a family man. That was what we had most in common. I would

hug his children like they were my own and he would embrace my kids like they were his as well. Also, Lamar Odom posted, these pictures are just the tip of the iceberg of our relationship. He taught me so many things in life that were necessary on and off the court. On the court, he taught me how to carve out defenses and how to take my time, how to make winning my ultimate goal. Off the court, he taught me to sign my own checks and how to take my time, how to make winning my ultimate goal. Off the court, he taught me to sign my own checks. Of course, anyone who knows my story knows I've suffered a lot of loss, but the only loss I can compare this to is when I lost my son. Also, former Lakers coach Phil Jackson says his relationship with Kobe transcended the norm.

He said the crash was a tragedy for multiple families. My heart goes out to Vanessa and the families that lost loved ones. Kobe was a chosen one, especially in many ways to many people. So amongst other people, Magic Johnson said, my friend, a legend, husband, father, son, brother, Oscar winner, and greatest Laker of all time is gone. It's hard to accept. Kobe was a leader of our game, a mentor to both male and female players.

Yeah, I mean, there's so many layers to this this man like the the layer of him being a father you know kobe and i are born in the same year 78 he's 41 like i'm 41 he's got four four girls at home i got three and i don't know about y'all but my biggest fear is not being here for my girls you know i constantly constantly think about life when i'm 50 like when i'm 60 like when i'm 70 and the reason i think about that is because I think about how old my daughters will be when I'm that age. So I want to die of old age simply because I want to be here for my girls. And the only other thing I think about more than that is losing one of my daughters. So Kobe got hit with two of my biggest nightmares yesterday.

He lost his life, so he's not going to be there for his other three girls. And he lost one of his girls. Well, the Dallas Mavericks are also going to retire Kobe Bryant's jersey number, the number 24, in honor of Kobe Bryant. He wore that number while playing for the Lakers. They said Kobe's legacy transcends basketball, and our organization has decided that the number 24 will never again be worn by a Dallas Maverick.

That's honorable. Yes, well, that is your front page news. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. The number again is 800-585-1051.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this.

Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson the First, King of Kaperburg.

I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe owned country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads. Oh my God.

What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.

I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection. It was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out

the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is your time to get it off your chest,

whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, DJ Envy, this is Debbie. Hey, Debbie, good morning. Get it off your chest. Good morning. Good morning to all of you guys. You know I'm mourning the passing of Kobe and his daughter

and the other members that were on the helicopter. But I just want to say that immediately when you guys started talking about Kobe, Charlemagne turned it around and put it on him, you know, about what it was about to him, what it's about to him. It's not about Charlemagne today. It's about Kobe. So you guys have a blessed day and know that you are well loved, okay? I think that's kind of foolish to say, especially being that situations like this hit different,

especially when you are a father. Like, if you can't relate to that and have empathy because you got kids, then that's crazy to me. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's up with it? I'm calling from New Southland, California. And I just wanted to talk about the situation that i was going through but first off best in peace to toby but i um i wanted to um talk about my situation because it's better than i'm going through okay my single father i've been the last three years. So the mother of my child decided to keep my son away

from me because I put her back in child support. But now everything's getting handled. Everything will be done in February. But it's just been crazy because my son is autistic and he's off his schedule right now. So he's not in school right now so, you know, it was a blessing that not only the police helped me out, but also like the programs that my son in and his school helped me out, so

you know, I'm just blessed for that situation to happen. Well, we wish you the best of luck for you and your son. Hello, who's this? Hello? Hey, what's up? Get it off your chest. Hey, what's going on? I just want to say first off, RIP to Kobe Bryant, man. It's just a big reminder how life is, how precious it is.

That's all I got to say. All right, bro. Okay, appreciate that. Hello, who's this? Oh, it's Anthony. What's up, brother? Anthony, what's up? Get it off your chest.

Oh, man. Yesterday, I was very, very, very shocked on that MSNBC reporter, man. I mean, she clearly paused and thought about what the hell she was going to say before she said it. We all know what she said. Right. That was confusing. I was like, is this real? Yeah, I think a lot of times.

It's very real. I think a lot of times during, I mean, to me, that's very small potatoes on a day like yesterday, but I think a lot of times when people are in pain and a lot of people are hurt, you just be looking for somebody to direct that anger towards. And I think she caught that wrath for having that slip that she had. I'm confused at how that happened. Yeah, that...

She said... What are you talking about, Dad She said, she said, she said. She thought about that. Well, she said she was, in her words, she said that she was confusing Knicks and Lakers. So she was trying to say Knicks and Lakers at the same time, is what she said. But who knows, man? She needs to be more responsible with her wordage and verbiage on stuff

while she's on the damn air and think about it before she says it. Why would Knicks even come out of her mouth? Probably because she don't know sports. And she probably, if you're a cat. There's no reason. It's not even like the Lakers played the Knicks last night. Because aren't you reading off a teleprompter? If you're a casual sports fan, I don't know.

I mean, I'm just saying what she said. She said she was trying to say Knicks and Lakers and she said it at the same time. She actually said she said Knackers. Yeah, right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051 if you need to vent. Hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. With your ass. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Toya. Hey, Toya, get it off your chest.

First, I want to say I would like to thank Jesus Christ for taking me and my kids up this morning. That's right. And, like, my heart is heavy. Like, it feels like I lost a family member. But I was reading on a news report that the helicopter crashed into a mountain because there was so much fog. Yeah, I read that. I normally don't believe everything that I read, but my thing is, if you have to fly around six times, if you see that the weather is bad, why wouldn't you just park it? Like, I still can't get that through my mind. you just, just, just park it? Like, just, we can't do it.

Like, I still can't get that through my mind. Well, you can't just park anywhere. You can't just park on a house. I mean, like,

we might just land it. Like, I don't know where the, I'm just saying, like, I'm pretty sure, like. I don't think it works like that.

Well, they gotta do an investigation and the LAPD said they had to ground their helicopters basically saying they're not sure why this helicopter was up.

But, I mean, you got to let them do an investigation and see exactly what happened. But, yeah, they said he did fly around for 15 minutes, hoping that the fog cleared up a little bit, and then they gave him a route to go. They said he didn't follow the route, though. They said that was the problem, that he didn't follow the route. Yeah, like, that's bananas.

Like, oh, man, my heart is heavy. But you can't land. I know in times like this, everybody wants to. Like, oh, man, my heart is heavy. But you can't land. You can't. I know in times like this, everybody wants to make sense of things. But, you know, it don't work like that. You can't just land anywhere. It's a helicopter.

You can't just land on top of people. Right. You're right. But I'm just saying, that was my choice. That's what I wanted to say. And I love you, Uncle Charla. I love you. I love you more. I love you back, Mama.

Hello, who's this? Oh, yeah, this is Claude. Hey, what's up, Claude? Get it off your Love you back, mama. Hello, who's this? Yes, this is Claude. Hey, what's up, Claude? Get it off your chest. Yeah, man. The death of Kobe Bryant, man, really got me messed up, man. When I got the news, I was on the phone with my brother, and I couldn't believe it.

But the moment he said helicopter, it let me know that it was true because I know Kobe likes to fly his helicopter to practice and to the arena. Right. And it just, it just, it just, it really hurts me because, like, this man really impacted my life, especially when it came to sports. Like, I ran track, I played basketball, and, like, he always gave me that sense of urgency, like, to never back down from anybody, no matter how big, small, or tall they are.

You got to use your knowledge against your opponents. And it just really hurt me that him and his daughter passed away. So it just really hurts. I just got off work, and everybody at work was just talking about this. I couldn't even be on my social media, but that's all I saw. It's really shocking. And it just hurts to even hear the fact that he just died with his daughter. Because I know, like, I'm at that stage where I'm about to have a kid,

and I'm about to go away, and my wife has to do everything by herself. But it would really, like, hurt my feelings that that happened to me. Right. Yeah, and that's exactly what you just said is exactly why I don't understand why that woman called up here saying, I'm making this about me. I didn't make anything about me. I'm just telling you why his death hits the way it hits. I got three girls at home. I'm 41. If you're a

man with kids, it's impossible not to think about yourself in that situation. That could have been any of us. And it's just a harsh reminder that death doesn't discriminate. We all want to die of old age and, you know, now Kobe will not get that opportunity. That hits different, bro. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time. Nayib, we got

rumors on the way? Yes, we are going to talk about the Grammys. We already told you Alicia Keys and Boyce and Men did pay tribute to Kobe Bryant at the Grammys. We'll tell you about other tributes that happened and who the big winners of the night were last night. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On the Breakfast Club. So listen up. So at the Grammys last night, Nipsey Hussle won a Grammy for Best Rap Performance for Racks in the Middle featuring Roddy Ricch and Hit-Boy. Dropping the Clues bombs for Nipsey Hussle, Roddy Ricch and Hit-Boy. Several members of his family were on stage to accept the award, including Lauren London and his grandmother.

I speak on behalf of our family, of the Armanian family, in honor of Nip, who was a phenomenal vessel. Nip did it not just for the awards, but for the people. And God allowed him to use this music to speak his truth, give us wisdom, and something that we will forever be able to live with. I'm the grandmother of Nipsey Hussle, and I wanted to thank all of you for showing all the love. All right. Also, last night at the Grammys, there was the Lil Nas X Rodeo remix, and they introduced

that last night and Nas came on stage and did his verse. Got a lot of them, a whole stable. I don't lie to them. It's no fable. Wrapped on country flavor. Now we worldwide, we made a big brand. Now our catalog is so major. Rodeo or rodeo. Whole folio is so clear. Tomato or tomato. Nas X or big Nas.

It's a ride. That's a remix? Yeah, it's a remix. And it just came out also yesterday. So right after they performed it, the song was available. Kind of late for a remix, huh? For Rodeo? That's not Old Town Rodeo.

Oh, that's Rodeo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Jesus Christ. Cardi's on that record on the album, right? Yes. All right. Also, Sharon Osbourne was on stage, and she wasn't doing so great with some pronunciations

as she was announcing the nominees for Best Rap Song Performance. Hire DJ Khalid featuring Nipsey Hussle and John Legend featuring Roddy Ricch. Why do the Grammys do that? Yes, good one. The London Young Fug featuring J. Cole and Travis Scott. I really think one of those white culturally clueless executives, they saw that London was nominated and they were like,

let's go get somebody with an accent to announce the best hip-hop rap awards. That was dumb. Also yesterday, Meek Mill featuring Roddy Ricchie has the letter to Nip. And according to Meek Mill, all the proceeds for this song will go to Nipsey Hussle's family. that flame on me and when i'm singing one against me you ain't changed on me told me it was wrong to write some of my longest nights you made me cry you know i'm crying you're the first one made me feel i got good dog because real chickens never die you know the vibes yeah a couple days ago was chilling with my young and seen your kids on the gram it made me sicker to my stomach and as the marathon continued we keep running but i'm, I wish you'd seen that piece of car. I wish I could win a storm.

How many tears did you cry when you lost someone? Yeah, Meek played that for me back in December when I interviewed him, man. And that line where he says, you're the first person made me feel like I could die. He is not lying. All right, also, Billie. He is not lying when it comes to situations like Nipsey, man. Billie Eilish had an amazing night last night. She actually swept all four of the major categories

and she's only the second artist in Grammy history to do that and she's the first woman to do that, to take home the big four awards. That's the album, record, song of the year and best new artist. The first artist to ever do that was 39 years ago and that was Christopher Cross. She's also the youngest

album of the year winner in Grammy history. She's only 18 years old. Yeah. Now, she went on stage. Her brother won a couple too, right? Yeah, for Producer, yeah. Oh, yes. All right, now, for this year, while she was on stage,

she was saying that she did get Album of the Year, but she felt like someone else deserved it. Can I just say that I think Ariana deserves this? Thank U, Next got me through some s***, and I think it deserves, like, more than anything in the world. I love you so much. I'm not going to waste your time. I'm really not.

I love you. Thank you for this. So she's saying the Grammys got it wrong, per usual. I understand. Well, she's a pretty big artist, though. Yeah, my daughter loves her. Congratulations, though. Listen, she's doing what Adele did.

Adele did the same thing when she won the Album of the Year. She said that Beyonce should have won Lemonade. Listen, I haven't heard either one of the albums. So I don't know if Billie Eilish should have won or Ariana Grande would have won. But if an artist gets up there and says somebody else should have won, that lets me know that maybe somebody got it wrong. Oh, they're being humble. Right. Seems like a lot of kids, a lot of people

like Billie Eilish, though. Yeah, she swept off for us, so that's historical. Your daughter loves Billie Eilish, right? That's all she wanted to see at the iHeartRadio Music Festival last year. I remember. All right, well that is your rumor report.

I'm Angela Yee. Why wouldn't the Grammys get somebody who loves hip-hop culture? Don't you think the presenters should reflect the category? You know what I mean?

LL sitting right there. At least know those people that you're announcing. I'm just saying you should get a presenter that reflects the category. What does Sharon Osbourne

have to do with hip-hop and rap? And then you wonder when things like this happen. Come on, man. You should have seen Khaled's face. The camera pan. It's disrespectful.

That's your moment. DJ Khaled. That's your moment. It's disrespectful. That's your moment. You're about to win a Grammy and they're like DJ Khaled? Knowing that there's

a whole other Khaled out there. For real, for real. She might not know that, though. She might not know that. It's Hey Grammys. It's simple. Just get her presented. That reflects the category.

Little Baby just chuckled when the camera went on him. Mm-mm-mm. All right. Well, when we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Yeah, you know, we are going to continue to discuss Kobe Bryant and the unfortunate helicopter crash. His daughter, Gigi, also the other people who were traveling

in the private helicopter. We'll give you information and, of course, we'll tell you some of the touching tributes that people wrote, videotaped, and what everyone had to say. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we start with Yee? Well, of coursea God, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we start with Yee? Well, of course, we are discussing Kobe Bryant this morning. Everybody is stunned to find out that Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gianna, known as Gigi, died in a helicopter crash. There were nine people that died in total. It was eight people and the pilot.

Now, at first, they were not identifying the other people because the sheriff said it would be awful for these families to find out that their loved ones passed away from TMZ. That's right. So they wanted to make sure that people were aware at first. They did confirm Orange Coast College baseball coach John Altobelli, his wife Carrie, and their daughter Alyssa were aboard the helicopter, according to his brother. I just hope these people found out about it before a blog or TMZ or something like that posted it. Kobe's family didn't. They didn't? No, that's why the sheriff was upset.

Kobe's family didn't. Kobe's family found out because of TMZ. Well, yes, and Tony Altobelli is the one who did identify his brother, the coach, John Altobelli and his brother's wife and daughter that were aboard the plane. Christina Mauser, the helicopter. Christina Mauser, the helicopter. Christina Mauser, who's an assistant girls basketball coach, also died in the crash. Her husband wrote on Facebook,

My kids and I are devastated. We lost our beautiful wife and mom today in a helicopter crash. Please respect our privacy. Thank you for all the well wishes. They mean so much. So a lot of people are grieving. Yesterday, this morning, now Kareem Abdul-Jabbar posted this.

Kobe was an incredible family man. He loved his wife and daughters. He was an incredible athlete and a leader in a lot of ways. He inspired a whole generation of young athletes. He was one of the first ones to leave high school and come

to the NBA and do so well, dominating the game and becoming one of the best scorers that the Los Angeles Lakers has ever seen. I had the privilege of being there when he scored his 81-point game, and it was something that I will always remember as one of the highlights of the things that I have learned and observed in sports. Now it's difficult for a lot of people to speak. We saw a video of LeBron James just basically crying. Some NBA teams also had to play last night, and that was difficult for them as well. Now here's what Dwayne Wade had to say about the loss of Kobe.

Today is one of the saddest days in my lifetime. It seems like a bad dream. Today is one of the saddest days in my lifetime. It seems like a bad, like a bad dream. You just want to wake up from. It's a nightmare. I said it many times. Kobe retired from the game of basketball. He left a hole in the game of basketball.

He left a hole in my wanting to play. when i came in the league i chased him i wanted to be respected by him all right also we told you about the tribute at the grammys boys to men and alicia keys also did pay tribute at last night's grammy awards and here's their performance Here's their performance. And I'll take with me the memories To be my sunshine after the rain And Barack Obama posted, Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act. To lose Gianna is even more heartbreaking to us as parents.

Michelle and I sent love and prayers to Vanessa and the entire Bryant family on an unthinkable day. So again, we will, you know, keep on discussing the legacy of Kobe Bryant. He's touched everybody's lives. A lot of people felt affected by this and the impact that he's had across all different types of culture.

Yeah, you know, when Meek said on that song, talking about Nipsey, you the first person made me feel like I could die. Like, it's strange, right? Like, we've all seen death. We all know people that have died. But when you see people like Nipsey and Kobe die, the death hits different because you realize

death really does not discriminate. It can happen to anyone. And it makes us all question our own mortality in ways we probably never have. Remember when Kobe retired back in 2016? Everybody was just, you know, it's Kobe Bryant. One of the best players ever. He actually started playing basketball when he was only three years old.

All right, well, that is your front page news. All right, let's open up the phone lines. Let's talk about it. 800-585-1051. Just want to hear from you, your thoughts, how you feel. Get it off your chest for real, man. It's all you can do in situations like this. You know what I mean?

Whatever you're feeling, allow yourself to feel. Allow yourself to feel that. I'm still bugging off of TMZ posting it before the family finds out. That's the world we live in, though. That's not right, though. I mean, because think about it. Everybody wants to be first. You rush so fast to be first. Instead of

just, could you imagine? I agree with you. You turn on the internet and you see this and you be like, what are you talking about? I agree with you, but you know, it's disgusting that a news outlet would do that, but guess what? If somebody is on the scene when something like that happens, they might post that and the family might hear about it. So, you know,

that's just the world we live in now, sadly. We live in a very real-time era. All right, well, let's open up these phone lines. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Gone but will never be forgotten. Thank you for all the inspiration.

This has been absolutely beautiful, you guys. I can't believe it's come to an end. You guys will always be in my heart. We'll be right. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now, if you just join us, we open up the phone lines, and we're just talking about Kobe Bryant this morning. 800-585-1051. I want your thoughts, and if you want to vent, and we're just opening up the phone lines. All right, let's go to the... You don't got nothing to say for us, for yourself? I mean, I think if you want to vent. We're just opening up the phone lines. All right, let's go to the... You don't got nothing to say for us, for yourself? I mean, I think we pretty much said everything.

Yeah, we've been talking all morning. It's just one of those things. I just feel so bad and so horrible. It's really nothing I can say. Yesterday when I heard, I just got off the line and I just did everything with my kids I could possibly do. I mean, I play Hungry Hungry Hippo. I play Monopoly.

I watched movies last night. They damn near slept in my bed all night. Like, you know, you just want to hug your kids and just tell them you love them. Hug your wife. Hug your family members. It's just a tragic situation, man. I had to stay off social media. I couldn't even look at everything that was happening yesterday. I was like, I don't even

want to look at this right now. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Nick. Nick, what's up, man? Hey, man, I just wanted to, you know, just pay tribute to Kobe, man. Still in disbelief about what happened to Kobe, and only thing we could do is just reflect on, you know what I mean, his positive impact

that he left with us. Right. You know, unmatched discipline and tenacity on the court, and not only just all the sports accolades, but he was a great family man. And I think that anybody with kids, you know, can look at this and really reflect on how grateful we have to be with the time that we have with our family. Absolutely. And that should bring me to tears right now a little bit. But I just think, you know, his contribution to this world

and peace to his family and not only his family, but everybody on board. Heard it was a baseball coach, their daughter as well. His wife. Yeah, his wife too. Yeah, it's a tragic story, man. So I guess the only thing I can say is today, everybody, today and for the rest of our lives, man, go home, hug your kids, hug your wife,

and understand that these moments are borrowed time. That's right. You know what I mean? We out here doing it. That's all I got, man. Kobe lives forever, baby. That's it. All right, thank you, man.

All of us want to die of old age, you know, simply because we want to be here for our girls, we want to be here for our wives, and you think somebody like Kobe won't get that opportunity, and guess what? None of us get to decide if we are going to have that opportunity because you don't get to choose when you go. You know, what is I going to say amazing is the impact that he did lead, the positive impact that he left on so many people,

and that is how I would say anybody should want to be remembered, just how great Kobe is being remembered. Hello, who's this? Good morning, Breakfast Club. My name is Jackie calling from Brooklyn. Hey, Jackie, Breakfast Club. My name is Jackie calling from Brooklyn. Hey, Jackie. Good morning. Hey.

You know, as a kid, I could not stand Kobe as a player. I despised the Lakers growing up. But it still hurts because I have kids and I have a daughter who's 11. And to think about waking up and my husband and my oldest being gone. Man. I don't know that. It hurts. It hurts. Yeah.

Now those babies have to grow up without a father. Yep. The little ones, you know, they really won't remember. And it sucks for them because off the field, he was an awesome person. Right. That's crazy to think about. His newborn is going to know Kobe about as good as any of us in this room know Kobe. Yeah. Only difference is they met him.

I never met Kobe. The newborn at least got to meet him. She's going to know him as much as we know him. She's going to hear the stories just like we do. Yeah. 800-585-1051. We're talking about Kobe Bryant. Call us now.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Kobe Bryant. Just taking your calls and just hearing from you guys. Good morning. Who's this?

This guy here for Philly. What's up, bro? We're talking Kobe Bryant this morning. Yeah, man. That's hurt. Now, I was at a day party yesterday. I seen grown men in there crying, man. I joined up. Definitely hit different for the city, man. that's hurt. I was at a day party yesterday. I seen grown men in there crying, man. That definitely hit different for the city, man. Definitely hit different. Well, Envy, before you hang up, I know you be having a mix pre-made.

I need that Kobe Bryant by Lil Wayne. Well, the mix is not pre-made, but I'm going to play that in the mix this morning. I'm also going to find Fabulous' Black Mamba freestyle, too. I'm going to get those both on in the mix this morning. All right, that's 100. That's 100, man. Good morning. I listen to y'all every day. Keep this morning. All right, that's 100. That's 100, man. Good morning. I listen to y'all every day.

Keep it up. All right, bro. Hello, who's this? Hi, my name's Naomi. Hey, Naomi. We're talking Kobe Bryant this morning. Okay, so I have to say, I was like a whole, you know, I had to sleep last night. And I wake up around 11, and I'm watching Fresh Prince, and I see, you know, Kobe Bryant

has passed away. So automatically, I'm going on to Amazon and all, you know, Kobe Bryant has passed away. So automatically I'm going on to Amazon and all these other things, all these other websites, and I see that World Star Hip Hop has the ATC recording and tracking footage of his aircraft. So I noticed that when it took off, the whole thing took like no more than 45 or 47 minutes. But when he took off, he was idling around a little bit. And then after he was idling around for 15 minutes, they kind of went off and then crashed.

And I keep thinking about myself, like the very first thing I thought about was, I'm a parent of a nine-year-old boy, and I've never been on a helicopter, but I've been on an airplane. And that moment when it's taken off, and then you have that little anxiety in you that you don't know what's gonna happen yeah take off and then crash i'm

thinking literally in my head what did kobe feel the moment like did it was there any sign that something was gonna happen did he feel oh my goodness this is it did he have a moment with his daughter and he's talking to her like what was going through his mind in the aircraft i'm sure all that happened i'm sure all that happened. I'm sure all that happened. That's the other thing. Thinking about those moments before they perish.

As a father, your job is to protect and provide, but you're in a situation where you can't do anything for your little girl. God damn. And you don't know

what's happening when that helicopter's going down. Hell no. If you can hug your daughter, if you're stuck in a seatbelt. Oh, my goodness. You don't even know if they saw it coming. If they was in fog and they ended up hitting the mountain, they don't even know if you saw them. You know what I'm saying?

If you saw them out in the wake, I don't know, man. It's just tragic. Hello, who's this? It's Charles. Hey, Charles. Good morning. We're talking Kobe Bryant this morning. Good morning, man. Yeah. I just wanted to speak on it. I just wanted to say, like I was saying earlier, man, it's a messed up situation when you feel somebody that's invisible

and you see them going. And especially him having a daughter. Like, I got a daughter, man. And it's like, like, I literally yesterday taking her to Chuck E. Cheese. That's when I found out. Like, I was scrolling through Instagram and it came across me. And I'm like, like, it just was a shock. It was like, as a father, like, what do you say in those last moments?

You know what I mean? Like, do you say anything? You're a healer. Like, you're a protector. You're a healer. You, everything to this little girl. And it's like, you can't, you know what I mean? Like, it hurt.

It hurt bad. And it's just like, I just wish that, like, I don't know, man. It's just like, you lost an idol. You lost a hero. It's really mournful, man. It's a messed up. It's a messed up situation. All right, man. It's just like you lost the idol. You lost the hero. It's really mournful, man. It's messed up. It's a messed up situation. All right, bro.

Thank you. 800-585-1051. We'll take some more calls when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ and the Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're opening up the phone lines. We're talking about Kobe Bryant this morning. Hello, who's this? Good morning, Breakfast Club crew. This is Mr. Telephoto you just joined us, we're opening up the phone lines. We're talking about Kobe Bryant this morning. Hello, who's this? Good morning, Breakfast Club crew. This is Mr. Teller, Ferrell, journalist in Atlanta, Georgia. How y'all doing? How y'all doing? What up, King?

We're doing all right, man. We're talking Kobe this morning. What's your thoughts, bro? Man, look, I have been the biggest Kobe Bryant fan since the age of five years old. He is the reason why I fell in love with the game. And, man, I'm going to be honest with you. I just cried yesterday. Like, I've been crying, like, continuously for hours, man.

Losing somebody that's just, I don't know, it's almost like he became this mythical feature. He definitely was. You know what I mean? You know, he just became mythical. And while I'm on the line with you guys, I want to say this to you guys. Y'all have become, in a much different way, what y'all have done for the last decade,

y'all have become so important in our homes, and I don't want to be this dude, this black guy that's too on a high horse to give y'all flowers while y'all here. And Charlamagne specifically, you know, you have a big impact on my life as a journalist, King, and I just want to give you your flowers while you're here.

Thank y'all for what y'all do every morning. Thank you, King. I appreciate you. Thank you, brother. It means a lot, you know what I mean? Y'all mean a lot to us. And even moments like this, it starts with you guys in the culture. So I just wanted to show some love to y'all and rest in peace to 24.

All right, man. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Phillip. Hey, Phillip. My thoughts about Kobe is I felt bad for Kobe. The reason why I felt bad for Kobe, knowing I'm going to die is one thing, but knowing I know my daughter is going to die with me, that's the hurtful feeling right there.

Man, that's two of my biggest nightmares, man, losing your own life and not being here for your kids or losing one of your kids. And he got hit with both of them yesterday. Yeah, and he couldn't protect it for nothing. Lord have mercy. That's the hurtful thing. I felt that right now.

I'm feeling that now. Oh, man. Absolutely. Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this? It's Chuck, man. Calling from Grenadine, South Click, man. What's up, bro?

South Cact. What's happening? What's going on, brother? Yeah, man. I'm calling, man, because it's crazy, especially him losing his daughter with him like that. But what's got me in my feelings a little bit is folks talking about his conspiracy theory. He died to be sacrificed for the Lake of the West.

Don't listen to those people. Please don't listen to them. Don't give them type of people no energy. Please don't. I'm begging you not to. I'm not paying no attention to the folks out here doubting the man because he married some woman that's not black. Like, yo,

y'all wasn't throwing no dirt on this man. I don't do it while he pass, man. The Lakers got how many championships? 16? So every generation of Lakers players had to sacrifice somebody? Like, yo, why are you talking to people like that? That's stupid, man. I will say this, man. You know, it's just a reminder that death really doesn't discriminate.

You know, as I said earlier, we think certain people are untouchable. Certain people seem indestructible. They are like mythical creatures, gods amongst us, mere mortals. And a tragedy like this isn't supposed to happen to somebody like Kobe Bryant. But we know that's never the case because death does not discriminate, ever. And, you know, when you're 41 years old and, you know, you got daughters like Kobe got daughters, I know my biggest fear, I know, Envy, your biggest fear is not being here for your kids.

And that's something that we constantly, constantly think about. And, you know, I want to die of old age simply because I want to be here for my little girls, and Kobe will not get that opportunity. And guess what? None of us get to decide if we are going to have that opportunity because you don't get to choose when you go because death doesn't discriminate, man. So that's that's really just the biggest takeaway from all of this for me.

Death does not discriminate. Yeah. Hug and kiss a loved one, man, because it's some small things like, you know, my son just called me a second ago. Just said, good morning, pops. Those little things right there just affect you so much, man. And just, you know, just tell a family member, a loved one, you love them, hug them, kiss them. If you're beefing with one, just call up and just say, I apologize. Even if you're not wrong, man, it's not worth it. Life is short, and we got to enjoy and experience the moments, man. Yeah, definitely.

My mom called me because I was on the plane, and she was like, please text me as soon as you land. And I land. She's like, when you get home, please let me know you made it home safe. And she never does that. And it's crazy. You know, my family's overly protective. Like, every time I fly out, my mom and dad text me.

My wife texts me. My kids text me. And if they listen and I know they're on their way to school, I just want to tell you I love you. That's it.

I love my family too, man. I love my daughters. I love my wife. And it's just like, you know, you sit back and you think, man, Kobe just woke up on a regular Sunday morning

to take his daughter to do her extracurricular activity just like a lot of us were yesterday. I was at my daughter's cheerleading competition in Atlantic City. on a regular Sunday morning, to take his daughter to do her extracurricular activity, just like a lot of us were yesterday. I was at my daughter's cheerleading competition in Atlantic City, and it's the same thing. It's a regular routine day, and all of a sudden, your whole life as you know it is turned upside down.

Vanessa and them other girls had to wake up this morning hoping this was a bad dream, but it's not. You know what I mean? All right. Well, we got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about a show that is making a comeback. This was a really popular show previously, and I always felt like they couldn't do more than one

season at a time of this, but we'll tell you what's coming back. Alright, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yes, morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk MTV's Punk'd. It's about time.

What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, looks like Punk'd is making its return and Chance the Rapper is going to be the host. They have not announced a date, but they said it'll be available only on...

Now, let me pronounce this right. Quibi? Quibi. Quibi's mobile video platform. Yes, drop on the clues bombs for Quibi. They doing a lot of cool stuff over there, man. Salute to my guy, Doug Herzog. Drop on the clues bombs for Doug Herzog.

Jersey's on. Now, he said no one is safe. And I guess he's got this new job on Punk'd. I would assume... Well, I guess it's not like he has to be in the actual footage. Usually, like, Ashton Kutcher would run out from the back. Yeah, pop out at the end or something. Right.

Well, not all the time. I mean, most of the time, Ashton would be in, like, the little control room. Right. And he would just be watching what's happening and controlling the people that are involved. And from what I saw on the trailer, that's what Chance is doing. Yeah, what I'm saying is that he's not going to be there with the people, like, punking them, because then you would know. Like, oh, it's Chance the Rapper. Yeah, what I'm saying is that he's not going to be there with the people, like, punking them. Because then you would know.

Like, oh, it's Chance the rapper. I don't know. He popped out after. Right. So, should be interesting to see who they're going to punk. They actually punked, was on for eight seasons on MTV. And they had punked all different kinds of people. So, this should be good to see.

The Kanye West one was a hilarious one. I remember Ashante, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake. I don't know who Bullets D is. I don't know who this Bullets is. Alright, now over the weekend, Grammy weekend, Meek Mill ran into Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty.

That's Nicki Minaj's husband. They were inside of a high-end clothing store in Maxfield in West Hollywood. And according to sources, they said Meek was in the store shopping. That's when Nikki and Kenneth happened to come in the store, talk about timing, and approached him. Now, according to these sources, they said Kenneth Petty started getting loud. Meek suggested they all have a word in private, and they refused to do that. And they said Meek wanted to keep things civil because he's just happy.

He's in a much better place personally and professionally than he was back when he and Nicki were dating. But that video footage is out there floating around if you want to see how it all went down. Man, you don't know who you're going to run into Grammy weekend. Everybody was everywhere.

And that is not one that you would want to see coincidentally be in the same place at the same time. Mm-hmm. All right, 50 Cent, he is talking about Taraji P. Henson. Now, Taraji was on T.I.'s Expeditiously podcast, and she was talking about 50 pitting Empire and Power against each other. Our show had nothing to do with his show. We're talking two different subject matters. You know what I mean? And then again, 50, do you

know what the f*** I had to do to get here? Why tear down another black person? I get that. For competition? I think... There are a million other shows you can compete with. I get that too. I get that. Okay, so why... I get that. Why'd you create the black show to compete with? I get that. And to do that publicly, it's embarrassing.

Alright, well of course 50 got wind of this and made some comments on social media. the black show to compete with. I get that. And to do that publicly, it's embarrassing. All right. Well, of course, 50 got wind of this and made some comments on social media. He said, I saw Taraji on TI's podcast. This is my sincere apology.

I did not mean to hurt your feelings in any way. I love your work and I think you are amazing. I'm sorry no one is watching your show anymore. I realize I have to work on the fact that I have

less empathy than others. I have met with the top executives at Fox and sold them the Notorious Cop. It's a show that is replacing yours. But I really want to work with you. I mean, you're awesome. We would work well together. But if you don't like the idea, I understand.

If you don't roll with me, you're going to get rolled the F over. 50 never stops. He never turns it off. The Notorious Cop is about the hip-hop police, right? Maino had an idea for a crime drama based around the hip-hop police. Salute to Meno. Congratulations to 50 again. He gets his Hollywood Walk of Fame.

He gets his star this Wednesday. Congratulations to 50. 50 is so strategic, though, because that Taraji T.I. podcast been happening. But he needed to promote power this weekend. And he got to promote the new show coming out on ABC. That's really all of this. That's all this is about. None of it is personal with 50.

None of it. Have y'all seen the, have y'all been watching Power? I just caught up yesterday. Hell yeah, I watched Power. I didn't see yesterday's episode, last night's episode, because I was in Atlantic City. But yes. I watched it.

I'm watching that when I get home. That's the first thing I did when I got off the plane and came home. To watch Power? Yes, on Demand. All right. Now, there is that documentary against Russell Simmons, and it actually debuted at the Sundance Film Festival over the weekend. It's called On the Record.

This is the one that was originally backed by Oprah, but she did drop out of the film because of concerns about the credibility of some of the women in the film. This documentary focuses on rape allegations made by Drew Dixon, Syl Lai Abrams, and Alexia Norton-Jones. Now, what they are saying in The Hollywood Reporter is that On the Record got multiple standing ovations during its premiere, and over three dozen organizations supported a letter this weekend

backing the victims. There were other people endorsing this, like Rosanna Arquette, Thandie Newton, and others. Russell Simmons on his behalf is denying any wrongdoing with the women, and he said all of these sexual relationships that he had were consensual, and that is the information we have.

There was a pre-premier discussion around On the Record before they debuted it, and here is some of what was said drew dixon was there here's what she said all of us have kept our stories to ourselves for decades and there are people within that ecosystem who knew our story but nobody told our story and to me this is where allies matter to tell the story because they're not subject to the incoming that even powerful black people are subject to to me this is why the filmmakers are white because they

don't have the same vulnerability and then they listened and they listened, and they deferred, and they learned, and they centered us. All right, now they also have a song on there that is performed and written by Lauren Hill, Miss Lauren Hill, and they said this previously on Lisa Chalk was specifically chosen by Miss Hill to appear

in the film. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Charlemagne. Yo. Who you giving that donkey to? I need Allison Morris, no, what's her name? Allison Morris of MSNBC to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with her. Alright. Can somebody please turn the heat up in here?

Jesus Christ. It is freezing. It is freezing. What is the why? Why do we gotta be cold? Alright, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.

Now, we all know that yesterday Kobe Bryant had an untimely demise as he was one of multiple fatalities in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California. And Allison Morrison of MSNBC was reporting on this tragic situation.

And this is what happened. The kind of star that was perfectly cast on the Los Angeles Lakers. If I could ask you to stay with us. Now, of course, the backlash was swift on social media. People were calling for her firing, so she apologized by sending out the following tweet. She said, earlier today, while reporting on the tragic news of Kobe Bryant's passing, I unfortunately started on air combining the names of the Knicks and the Lakers to say Nakers.

Please know I did not and would never use a racist term. I apologize for the confusion this caused. And she put a never in capital letters. She would probably said that on there. She said she probably would have said, please know I did not and would nigger use a racist term. She would have said that on there. She probably would have said, please, no, I did not and would nigger

use a racist term if she would have said that on there, but she tweeted it. She said she apologized for the confusion this caused. First of all, Allison, the Knicks have nothing to do with this.

Like, nothing at all. Like, absolutely zero. Okay, those teams, the Knicks and the Lakers are on two different coasts. Kobe never played for the Knicks. Like, there was absolutely zero reason for the Knicks to be on your mind.

They didn't even play each other last night. There was nothing, no reason. Yeah, I don't understand it. So that lie you concocted to cover up, you know, you saying the N-word, that's not going to fly. Now, at first I thought Nakers didn't sound nothing like the N-word, okay? But if you say it fast, Nakers. Kinda.

Nakers. Alright? Kinda. Kinda. Alright? Kinda. Alright? Nakers rhymes with Lakers, Takers, Bakers, Quakers, Fakers, Shakers, Makers. But none of those words sound like the word you use, okay? The word you use

sounds like bigger, tigger, trigger, jigger, figure. And it's a word I'm sure some people would use to describe an NBA team full of black people. Now, you know we have this program called Normalized, right? It's like hearing things in HD. Last week, we put it on Wendy Williams passing gas. This week, we are putting it on Allison Morris to see if she said Nakers are the actual N word. So let's play Allison Morris regular first.

The kind of star that was perfectly cast on the Los Angeles Nakers, Los Angeles Lakers Angela first. Now let's play Alison Morris with the N-word normalized. You can hear it in HD. No debate here, okay? I know people are saying to us, we're going to. No debate here. Okay. I know people are saying to themselves, what was she thinking? What was on her mind? Well, the answer to that is simple. Niggas.

Okay. We heard what you said, and you know how it sounded. You know how it sounded to us at a time like this? This is how it sounded to us. Niggas. Never mind, Rob. you blew it. It's amazing that a broadcaster at a time like this could make such a mistake. In a moment where people are already dealing with so much hurt, so much pain,

I'm not going to speculate about Allison's character because I don't know her. Never heard of her until this moment. I just know that some people have such deep-rooted hatred for others that even in a tragic situation like this, how they really feel about others comes out. Okay, I'm not saying that's Allison because I don't know her. I just know that for a word to come out of your mouth when reporting on a situation like this,

when for the N-word to come out of your mouth when reporting on a situation like this, it's just stupid. And Donkey of the Day is all about giving people the credit they deserve for being stupid. Please let Remy Ma give Allison Morris the biggest hee-haw.

Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. Now what happened to Allison, guys? Anything? Huh. I was thinking about who was it. It was another news reporter

that had a slip of the tongue also. Did they fire her? Yeah, he got fired. What did he say? I'm trying to remember because we talked about it up here. I'm trying to remember exactly what it was. I don't know. I got to look this up.

Well, once again, rest in peace to Kobe Bryant. He ended up getting fired, though. I remember that. Absolutely. Yeah, rest in peace to Kobe Bryant. I'm going to keep saying this all morning because I just think people need to hear it. It's just another reminder that death really does not discriminate. Nobody is

untouchable. Nobody is indestructible. Nobody is a mythical creature who won't ever taste death. And I know it seems like a tragedy like this isn't supposed to happen to someone like Kobe, but we know that's not the case because death does not discriminate. All right, it was a meteorologist that for Martin Luther

King Jr., he said Martin Luther Kuhn King Jr. Remember that? That's wild. You don't remember that? And we talked about this a lot up here, and he ended up getting fired. Yeah, he should have got fired for that. Can we talk about death a little bit? Can we open up the phones and talk about death?

What do you mean? What do you want to ask? I was thinking about this yesterday, right? I was thinking about death, and I was thinking about why it hurts so much. You know, it's the obvious, like, you know, never seeing your loved one again. But I also believe it's the unexpectedness of death. And I was wondering if we knew the date of our death or the date of our loved one's death, would it make it easier to deal with? Would you want to know that? Would you want to know the date of your death? Would you want to know the date of your

loved one's death? I wouldn't want to know. I wouldn't want to know the date of your death? Would you want to know the date of your loved one's death? I wouldn't want to know. I wouldn't want to know the date of my death, my family member's death. I wouldn't want to know. That's something because it's like you know that date. You know what's going to happen. I'd rather just live each life to the fullest like there is no tomorrow and enjoy life. Not like, well, I got 20 more hours, 19

hours, 18 hours. I don't want to know my death date. But don't you think the unexpectedness of it is what makes it hurt so much? Because you're thinking about all the things you wish you would have said to a person the night before, the moments before. You know what I mean? Mm-mm. I just feel like if you were prepared for it and knew it was coming, it would make it a little bit easier to deal with. I don't know.

I'm just, you know, fleshing around thoughts here. All right. Well, let's open up the phone lines then. Let's talk about it. 800-585-1051. What's the question? If we knew the date of our death or the date of our loved one's death, would it make it easier to deal with? And would you want to know? Okay.

Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Gone, but will never be forgotten. Thank you for all the inspiration. This has been absolutely beautiful, you guys. I can't believe it's come to an end. You guys will always be in my heart. We'll be right back. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yes. If you just join us, we're talking about death this morning. Absolutely. And where did this come from?

And what's the question, Charlamagne? I mean, it came from, you know, just death. You know, like, you know, we all want to die of old age, you know, but we don't really have control over that. And I was just thinking about death and why it hurts so much. And everybody knows the obvious reason,

like you'll never get to see your loved one again. But I also believe it's the unexpectedness of death, and I wonder if we knew the date of our death or the date of our loved one's death, would it make it easier to deal with, and would you want to know? It wouldn't make it easier, but I definitely wouldn't want to know. I wouldn't want that in the back of my head, knowing that on June 3rd at this time,

one of my family members or loved ones gonna die or even myself like I just would rather just live life to the fullest do what's right and then when that when that time happens it happens I would never want to know when when my last days or family members last days are yeah because I think about all the times right like when things like this happen you know one of the things that drives you crazy is all of the things you wish you would have said to a person or all of the things you wish you would have said to a person or all of the things you wish you would have done with a person. I think that when you know somebody is dying, you do those things.

So you have a little bit more fullness to it. But then you drive yourself crazy trying to outthink death. You know your date is June 3rd. I'm not going to get on a plane that day or I'm not going to drive that day. I'm going to stay in the house all day. But I just don't want to know. What about you, Yee? No, I'm not going to get on a plane that day or I'm not going to drive that day. I'm going to stay in the house all day, but I just don't want to know. What about you, Ye? No, I wouldn't want to know in advance. The only thing I will say

is when you have somebody close to you or if you're in suffering, like say you have something that's incurable and you know that you have to prepare for your death, then I think that's an important thing to do, but I don't think that we should try to mess with knowing the exact date.

And I also have taken into consideration, having had a lot of people close pass away, that it is a good thing to make sure that you have certain things in place. Like you have, you know, life insurance, that you have certain things planned to make things easier for the people around you when they have to handle business when you do pass away. Yeah, absolutely right. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Keontae from South Carolina. What's up, brother? What up, brother?

What's going on, Southside? My boy, Shala. Rest in peace, Kobe. Yes, sir. I mean, if I could know when my death was coming, well, I feel like as individuals, if we knew when death was going to arrive, I feel like it would prepare us mentally and put us in a better place. I feel like as individuals, we don't take life as serious as we should

because we don't know when we're going to leave. I feel like it's not until death occurs that we would like to embrace life more. And I feel like that should change. I feel like God promised us life, not time. And so many times we as individuals get long life mixed up with a number of years. But I feel like Kobe and a lot of others that I know live the full life in a short number.

You know, long life doesn't necessarily mean a big number. And so my message to everybody listening this morning is, you know what I'm saying, embrace your levels as much as you can because you just never know. And when your time comes, just make sure that somebody has something good to say about you. Yeah, I think it's the difference between a full life and a long life. Some people live long lives, but they didn't actually live a full life. Yeah, I agree. Kobe lived a full life.

800-585-1051. What's the question, Charlemagne? The question is, if we knew the date of our death or the date of our loved one's death, would it make it easier to deal with and would you want to know? Alright, call us now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast

Club. If you just joined us, we're asking, what's the question, Charlemagne? The question is, if we knew the date of our death or the date of our loved one's death, would it make it easier to deal with, and would you want to know? And the reason I'm asking that question is, you know, of the obvious, you know, Mr. Kobe Bryant passing away,

but I was just thinking about death and why it hurts so much, and we all know it's because we'll never get to see our loved ones again, but I also believe it's the unexpectedness of death, you know what I'm saying? So I wonder if we knew the date of our death or the date of our loved one's death, would it make it easier to deal with and would you want to know? I don't think it'd be easier

to deal with, but I, shoot, I wouldn't want to know, man. I'd be sad all the time if I knew somebody was going to die, you know, coming up soon or next year. I got one month coming up. Somebody I love. That would stress me out. Maybe you wouldn't, though, because think about, like, you know, I think about my man Kool-Aid, you know, yeah, and you know, Duval, Kool I think about my man Kool-Aid, you know, and, you know, Duval,

Kool-Aid knew that he was passing away, and, you know, Duval had him out there really living his best life, and it kind of made it easier for all of them to deal with once he was gone. You know? Nah, nah. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is JoJo from Kentucky. Hey, JoJo from Kentucky. How you doing this morning?

I'm good. Hi, JoJo. Hey, JoJo. If we knew the date of our death or the date of our loved one's death, would it make it easier to deal with and would you want to know? No, it wouldn't make it easier and I wouldn't want to know. And I think the hardest thing about death is that, you know, there's a void when someone dies. You know, they sleep in a room. You know, they have a spot in your mind of what they're doing.

You know, if they work in the garden, if they lay next to you, your kids' room, the clothes they wear. And when someone dies, there's a void. There's an eerie quietness. I don't know if you all ever felt this, but even with celebrities, there's like a quietness. And the hardest part is feeling that quietness or getting used to that person not being there anymore. That's the hardest part. Even if you knew the time, the day, it wouldn't matter because there's still

going to be that void. Thank you. Hello, who's this? Hi, my name is Hanadi. Hey, Hanadi. Good morning. Hey, good morning. I wanted to say that I would not want to know if a loved one was dying because death is already sad.

And I feel like we'll just be sad waiting for that day. I think instead of us trying to work on that day, we should all just prepare ourselves and know that, you know, to God we came and to him we shall return. Okay. You know what's so interesting? You just made me think about something, too. It's like, I wonder, would you allow yourself to really love if you knew that people,

if you knew somebody was dying? You know what I'm saying? Like, would you allow yourself to really grow to love somebody if you knew that they weren't going to be here? I mean, you still love somebody, but, you know, put it like this, you know, if you know your child

was passing away at a certain time, that would ruin your whole existence. Like, if you know your child was passing away at the end of this year, and there's nothing you could do about it, I couldn't live. I couldn't go to work. I couldn't do anything because I would want to spend every last moment with that child.

I would be no good to the world. I would be no good to society. We should be living like that now anyway, though, right? No good to society? No. I'm talking about wanting to spend every day with your child. Yes, absolutely. And I do. And I hit my kids.

I just told my son right now, I love you. Have a great day. Like, I don't think knowing that this was about to happen would have made it any easier for any of the people who just lost their family members. Maybe we should be living our life like we're going to die tomorrow. You know what I'm saying? Maybe you should be. Maybe you should be living our life like we're going to die tomorrow. You know what I'm saying? Maybe you should be. Maybe you should be living like today could be your last day.

Well, I mean, we kind of do. I mean, I know for myself, I kind of do. I kind of make sure that everything in my family is great. And that, you know, if there's a problem, I try to squash it immediately. I tell my kids and everybody how I feel. I work hard so to make sure that if I do go early that they are taken care of and they don't have to worry about things and their education is taken care of and that's why I go so hard in the real estate.

So we kind of do. Yeah. We kind of do. What's the moral of the story if there is a moral? The moral of the story for me, man, I just want to die of old age. I want to die of old age simply because I want to be here for my girls. I want to be here for my wife. Yeah. You know, you look at some... My daughters get married. My son gets married. I want to see their kids. Yeah, man. I just want to see them happy

and live out what they want to do, what they're destined to do. Yeah, Kobe won't get that opportunity. Nipsey won't get that opportunity. A lot of people, the rest of the people in that plane won't get that opportunity. A lot of people in the world

won't get that opportunity. And the crazy part is none of us get to decide if we are going to have that opportunity because you don't get to choose when you go. So as much as we want to die of old age, we don't have any say in that whatsoever. Because death does not discriminate. We got rumors on the way.

Yes, let's talk about Gabrielle Union versus Terry Crews. They're talking about America's Got Talent. And what she has to say contradicts what he has to say. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Terry Crews. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

Well, you guys, we caught Gabrielle Union discussing the toxic environment at America's Got Talent. She had a very controversial, I don't know if she was fired or they just didn't renew her contract. And a lot of people did speak up in support of her with sexism, racism, racist jokes, sexist comments. Well, Terry Cruz was on the Today Show and he actually addressed what Gabrielle Union said at America's Got Talent. First of all, I can't speak for sexism because I'm not a woman, but I can't speak on behalf

of any racism comments. That was never my experience on America's Got Talent. In fact, it was the most diverse place I have ever been in my 20 years of entertainment. When you look at what the allegations are about, it was given by an unnamed source. My thing is, you know, it's funny because I believe you should listen to women. You should always believe women.

So I asked my wife. My wife said, well, if she hasn't made a statement, why would you? And I said, you know what? I'm going to listen to her. So why are you making a statement now? Because you just made a statement. That was a statement, yeah. You should continue to listen to your wife, Mr. Cruz. Because I wonder how Terry Cruz would have felt if someone

would have attempted to discredit what he said when he said that agent allegedly grabbed him by his testicles. You know what I mean? And a lot of people were not very positive in supporting him when that happened, so he should know how that feels. Now, Gabrielle Union tweeted out, thank you, because somebody said they were talking about throwing you under the bus.

Somebody said, nothing but love and support for you, Gabrielle Union. We see you and appreciate you. Keep standing in your truth. Gabrielle Union responded, thank you, because, girl, truth-telling, wanting change, and having multiple witnesses who bravely came forward to let everyone know I didn't lie or exaggerate really exposes those who enthusiastically will throw you under the bus forgetting quickly who stepped up for their truth.

She said why anyone would gleefully get up on TV and tell lies that no one disputed, but we already know. Can someone please ask about what happens to all that diversity folks are talking about behind the scenes? Like legit, where the hell is all that diversity in the production, though, homie? And the decision-making ranks who control the fate of the diversity in front of the camera. So she was letting him have it on social media because he didn't have to discredit her the way that he did.

And speaking about his experience. The moral of the story is listen to your goddamn wife, okay? Your wife told you to shut the hell up for a reason. You should have kept shutting the hell up, Terry. All right, now let's talk about Tyler, the creator and the Grammys. He had a very interesting and very true statement. And a lot of people are speaking out about this. Now he won for best rap album. And after the Grammys, here's what he said. On one side, I'm very grateful that what I made could just be acknowledged in a world like this but

also it sucks that whenever we and I mean guys that look like me do anything that genre bending they always put it in a rapper urban category and I don't like that urban word it's just a politically correct way to say the n-word to me so when I hear that I'm just like why can't we just be in pop? I felt like half of me feels like the rap nomination was a backhanded compliment. Like, my little cousin wants to play the game. Let's give him the unplugged controller so he could shut up and feel good about it. I agree with him about the word urban. I hate that word.

It sucks because urban is like a biographical name. So what does that have to do with music? So, yes, using the word urban is a politically correct way to say black, but I do agree when they can't define musically what a black artist is. Let's put him in rap. Black artist is doing, they put him in the hip-hop rap category. But I don't want him to look down upon the hip-hop rap category. I guess he feels like he's more than just a rapper.

He feels like a pop artist. A rap is pop, too. Yeah, that's true, too. Even when he says he wants to be in the pop category, the word pop is just short for popular. Like, the most popular genre of music is hip-hop, so any of these categories dominated by hip-hop, black music could be pop. It just sounds like he's looking down upon rap.

Like, just don't look at me as just a rapper. Like, what's wrong with being a rapper? Well, Diddy had some things to say also. Now he had an acceptance speech for getting an industry icon award at Clive Davis' pre-Grammy gala at the Beverly Hilton. And here's what he had to say about the Grammys and black music. In the great words of Erykah Badu, we are artists and we are sensitive about our s**t. We are passionate. For most of us, this is all we got.

This is our only hope. Truth be told, hip-hop has never been respected by the Grammys. And it's not just going on in music. It's going on in film. It's going on in sports. It's going on around the world. And for years, we've allowed institutions that have never had our best interests at heart to judge us. And that stops right now.

All right. He gave a 50-minute speech, so he had a lot of things to get off his chest also at this pre-Grammys party. Mm-hmm. What? Nah, I just, somebody needs to ask Tyler. I heard you breathe.

Yeah, because somebody needs to ask Tyler, the creator, like, what's wrong with musically being just a rapper? Like, Nas is just a rapper. Hov is just a rapper. Plenty of great artists are just rapping. They specialize in the genre of hip-hop. So I don't understand when he's like... Have you heard his album? Don't look at me as...

It's more R&B-ish, but my point is, don't look down upon people who you think are just rappers. There's nothing wrong with being a rapper. He plays instruments. He's a musician. I guess he looks at it more than He feels like he should be more broad

In the rapper category I don't know I'm a musical artist It just sounds like he's looking down upon rap I don't like that Since we're talking about pop artists Let's talk about Selena Gomez She just did an interview with NPR

And she spoke on Justin Bieber. I know she's tired of talking about that, but the interviewer did bring up his name and she said, uh, she talks about emotional abuse and basically she talks about her single lose you to love me, which is about Justin Bieber. She says, I felt I didn't get a respectful closure and I had accepted that, but I know I needed some way to just say a few things that I wish I had said it was very difficult and I'm happy it's over and the interviewer asked you mean Justin Bieber and because she said I do feel like I was a victim to a certain abuse and the interviewer says you mean emotional abuse and Selena Gomez responds yes and I think that is something that I had to find a way to understand it as an adult. Here is Selena Gomez on NPR. It's dangerous to stay

in a victim mentality and I'm not being disrespectful. I do feel I was a victim to certain abuse. You mean emotional abuse? Yes and I think that it's something that I had to find a way to understand it as an adult. And I had to understand the choices I was making. As much as I definitely don't want to spend the rest of my life talking about this, I am really proud that I can say I feel the strongest I've ever

felt. Alright, well good for her. She said she has found a way to walk through it with as much grace as possible. Alright, I'm Angela Yee and that is your Rumor Report. Alright, Revolt, we'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next. Let's go. Morning, everybody. It's

DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Shout out to everybody, again, who I ran into in LA and also Orlando. I was out there for Pro Bowl, so I just want to shout out to all those people. Yee, I know you was out in LA as well. Yes, I was.

Had a lot of activities before the Grammys, and then I left the morning of the Grammys to get back here. And shout out to Pepsi, too. Yes, you know what? Actually, one thing I did see, and by the way, Her had an amazing jam session party before the Grammys also out there that everybody was excited about. But what I do love is to see Missy Elliott and her. They've actually teamed up.

They're doing a Super Bowl commercial. Did you see those ads? Yeah, it's for Pepsi Zero Sugar. Yeah, so they have all new like cans and everything. It's like a matte black and they're actually redoing the Rolling Stones painted black for that new Pepsi Zero Sugar can. So it's a new concept. And they actually did the teasers during the Grammy Awards that were on last night.

So they said the commercial is 30 seconds long. So there's going to be a new track and you get to see her kind of previewing pieces of it and Missy as well. So I'm excited to see that because those are two artists who I absolutely love. And Pepsi's always teamed up with people like Michael Jackson, Beyonce, really big stars like that. So now it's Missy Elliott and her. That's dope. Oh, and did you see the gift we got also? What gift? They sent a record player, and it has the full 60-second

version of Missy Elliott and her's rendition of Painted Black. So we walked in this morning, and you know I haven't been here since Wednesday, so you know I like when I get a gift. So that was an amazing present for us to get. Alright, well let's play the track now. Yes. black only I see a red door and I want to paint it black. I paint the red door black. Dance floor black. I'm in my own lane.

I'm apologetic and I do my own thing. Got my own brain. Matter of fact, I'm going to paint the red door black. Whatever makes you happy, go ahead, get that. I see a red door and I want to paint it black. No colleagues anymore. I want to paint it black. All right, well, shout out to our friends at Pepsi.

Don't move. We got the positive note next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, Charlamagne, you got a positive note?

Yes, man. Rest in peace to Kobe Bryant and his daughter, Gigi, everybody else that was on that helicopter. This is just another reminder that death really doesn't discriminate. Nobody's untouchable. Nobody's indestructible. Nobody's a mythical creature who won't ever taste death. And I know it seems like a tragedy like this isn't supposed to happen to someone like Kobe, but we know that's never the case because death does not discriminate. You know, if you're a man with kids, a woman with kids,

it's impossible not to think about yourself in this situation. You know, that could have been any of us. And it's just a harsh reminder that death doesn't discriminate. We all want to die of old age, but guess what? We don't have the choice of choosing if that happens or not. So rest in peace, Kobe Bryant. Breakfast club, bitches! You all finished or you all done?
