Good morning, you Collectively known as Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Thursday. Yes, it's Thursday. Absolutely. Weekend is almost here.

Bay's show starts tomorrow. My show starts tomorrow at 10 p.m. He knows who Bay is. I said Bay. Comedy Central. See that? He knows who Bay is. I'm a lot of people's Bay, man.

There's a car full of people outside. They was hollering at us when I was walking in, but I couldn't go say what's up to them because I would have been late. Yeah, I seen them as well, but I couldn't. Yeah, I was two minutes before you. Yeah. What you got to understand is it's a game of seconds when we come to the breakfast club.

No, don't say seconds. Say what you want to say. What? What do I always say? It's a game of inches. It's a game of inches when we get to this breakfast club. That's right. It's like football.

Depending on how traffic is, depending on the weather, depending if we need gas or not, depending if we got to put the trash out. Depending on what time you leave the house. Depending on what time you leave the house. Depending on what time you wake up. If I know if I leave the house at a certain time, I'm going to get here at a certain time. I mean, I know it like the back of my hand now. So when I looked at the clock this morning, I knew I was going to get here around 5.58, 5.59.

Correct. So apologies to the folks outside. Couldn't stop and speak to you, which I love to do because I would have been late. Yeah, so that's a bad option for anybody. Don't come before the show. It's not going to happen. It's not. You might get a wave.

It is what it is. We're late. It's work. We have to get to work on time. That's right. That's right. But salute to you guys. I've seen you down there as well.

It was a car full of people. It was a mad people in that car. It was a bunch of them. Yeah. But I definitely, you know, I was social distancing a little bit, but I just couldn't say what's up. And then you sent me a, Charlamagne sent me a text this morning about a shooting in New York City, and I don't think I would have stopped anyway. Man, boy, New York is New York.

Whatever rumors y'all used to hear about New York in the early 2000s, 90s, Lord have mercy, bro. It's back. And it's going down in the most random place. Like that shooting was at a restaurant, right? A restaurant, a popular restaurant in New York City. Lord have mercy, man. They were just firing

random shots in the restaurant. So you could have just been chilling with your girl, with your kids. Stay out the way. Yeah, stay out the way. That's what I tell folks. Stay out the way.

Go where you're supposed to go. Mind your business. Stick to your family. Stick to your close circle because it's wicked out here in these streets. And it's super scary because yesterday

my daughter stays in the city so I went to her apartment and had to drop off a rug and when she left me she went out to eat with her friend. And I'm like, damn, she could have

went to that restaurant and got shot. She minding her business. She staying out the way. That's what I'm saying. It's scary. That's what I'm saying. We got a great show

for you today though. That's right. Lil Nas X will be joining us. His name is Montero. Okay, but his rap name is Lil Nas X. But His name is Montero. Okay, but his rap name is Lil Nas X. But his name is Montero. I don't even think

his rap name is going to be Lil Nas X for much longer, to be honest with you. Well, he'll be joining us this morning, so we'll kick it with Lil Nas X in a little bit. His album will be out tomorrow.

Yeah, his album's out tomorrow. It's called Montero. It's called Montero. Yes, it is. And then we got front page news. What are we talking about, Ye? Yes, we'll talk about the first all-civilian flight to Earth's orbit

was successful yesterday. All right, and how much was that? We'll find out when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, morning, everybody. It's DJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? All right, well, what state do you think leads in new COVID cases per capita right now? South Carolina. New Jersey. New York. It's actually Tennessee. Oh.

According to the CDC. Yes, they're saying there's been a surge and there's an average of over 8,300 new coronavirus infections each day. Health experts do believe that has to do with the low rate of vaccinations, particularly among children. They said that fewer than one in four kids between the ages of 12 and 17 in Tennessee are vaccinated. And that is having devastating consequences for families. Yeah. And I can tell that cases are rising even in New York, the tri-state area, because usually when I take a PCR test and I take one about one a week, I would say usually comes back in a day. But now they're saying because the cases are rising, they're doing so many tests that it's taking a little longer than before.

So they say the cases are rising in the tri-state like crazy. So question, the herd immunity thing is all the way out the window? Well, there's the variant for the Delta variant, which is what they hadn't anticipated happening, and that one's a lot more contagious. I'm saying, but the Delta variant, that still doesn't lead to herd immunity?

I think we're still not at the vaccination rate that we're supposed to be at either in order for what they said herd immunity would kick in. Is it 70%? I think we're at 63% now. Yeah, we're not there yet. So when we get to 70% of people vaccinated, then herd immunity kicking? Because I don't hear them say that anymore. That's why I'm asking.

I don't know. You know what else I was thinking about too? A lot of people got their vaccination pretty early, and until you get that booster shot, you know, it does wear off. That's why, like, with the flu shot, you have to get it every year. So what happens to people who got it when it was first available? Is it wearing off? Yeah, and that

confuses me, too, because they said at first you got to get the booster shot at eight months, but then my doctor called me and said I should get the booster shot now, so I'm confused. Yeah, it's probably because of the variant though you know the mutation because people weren't vaccinated early on and then now who knows like you said everything's changing all right in LA county they are going to require vaccination proof at bars and at large events so that is going to be starting next month and that's October 7th so if you work at bars wineries breweries nightclubs

and lounges you have to have at least one vaccine dose by October 7th and both by November 4th. I want to hear something crazy. Yesterday I was in, I was at one of the markets looking at my homes in Patterson, New Jersey. And, you know, usually where the guy would be selling, you know, maybe some drugs, he was selling vaccination cards.

He was selling vaccination cards. How much? I didn't ask. He was selling them on the street, but he was saying, hey, this will get you into restaurants and clubs. This ain't going to get you through the airport, but this will get you into restaurants and clubs and venues and whatever you need. Don't try it at the airport. I'm sitting there like, man. They probably don't check it as hard as they do at the airport. I'm sure.

Exactly. Yeah, they definitely don't. And I feel bad for the people who have to check it. I went to go eat at the grill yesterday, and the guy at the door who had to check it felt terrible like having me take out my vaccination card. I don't mind. I'm trying to follow protocol because I have my card. I have my ID.

But, you know, he definitely has to stop everybody. Some people get an attitude. Why would he feel bad about having to do his job? It's his job. I think

it's just probably they're not used to having to do that to people. And SpaceX has successfully launched their first all-civilian flight into Earth's orbit. The Falcon 9 rocket carried Inspiration 4. And SpaceX has successfully launched their first all-civilian flight into Earth's orbit. The Falcon 9 rocket carried Inspiration4, and it's the first all-civilian space mission, and it went into

a low Earth orbit. So you can follow that mission. By the way, SpaceX has a tracking tool. So if you want to follow that, you can. And it took off at 8.02 p.m. Eastern yesterday in Merritt Island, Florida. You can also watch it on spacex's youtube channel it'll be replayed there there's four civilian astronauts that's jared isaacman and by the way he paid they said about 220 million dollars to take all four seats that were on um this flight god bless him man yeah so it's a civilian flight but it's's like a civilian, super-duper rich flight. It's for rich people, man. Stop. Knock it off. They don't even have classes. He got to pick

the people on the flight, so he purchased those four seats. One seat was reserved for 29-year-old St. Jude Ambassador Haley Arsenault, who's a bone cancer survivor and the youngest American to go to space, as well as the first pediatric cancer survivor. One of them is Dr. Sian Proctor. She said she dreamed of going to space since she was a child,

and she burst into tears when she heard she was chosen. And the fourth is a black female astronaut. No, she's the fourth black female astronaut to travel into space. And the final person is Chris Zembrowski, who's an Iraq War veteran and engineer with Lockheed Martin. It was a lottery. $20 million. So you had to do a St. Jude Children's Research Hospital donation

and they had a lottery to choose those seats. See, that's a different level of elitism because it's not even just about the money. I still got to choose you. That's a different level of elitism. Everybody act their way. I know y'all might be sitting up there frowning your noses, but listen, they're acting

their wage. You act yours. Right. And you know, this launch does benefit, say, Jude Children's Research Hospital. The person, like I said, Jarek Isaacman, he's a 38-year-old billionaire. He's already donated $100 million to that cause. So to win that lottery, you had to donate and then they picked

the one. Dope. Alright, that is your Front Page News. Alright, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. Phone lines are wide open your chest. 800-585-1051.

Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast Post Run High is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories,

their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever

you get your podcasts. 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 are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe my 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 warhead. Oh my god. What is that? Bullets.

We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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? This is Jerome. Jerome, what up, man? Get off your chest, brother. Hey, I said I got two things I got to get off my chest. First thing is how excited I am that y'all have a little Nas X up there. And I think that's really important for the culture, for the gay agenda.

But I'm not a part of the gay agenda. I mean, it is a gay agenda, though. It definitely... No, I'll tell you what I mean by that. It's just like we have an agenda. When it comes to entertainment, they want more representation. You know what I mean? And people in TV and films and everywhere else

are making sure that gay people are represented. That is an agenda, and that's fine. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's been a long time. Good morning. Peace and blessings. Hey. Sean Stone.

Sean Stone. What's up, Sean? Hey, good morning, Angel. Good morning. Good morning. What's up, bro? Good morning, Sean, man. Peace, King.

Hey, man. Life is a struggle out here. I just want to tell people to keep their head up, even though you might feel like

you ain't gonna make it, you gotta try to keep your head up. What's the matter? What's the matter? Angel,

I lost my job, man. Yeah, you know, I lost my job because of my religious belief. I was at worship

on Saturday. And also I was injured on the garbage truck. And all of a sudden they just started acting funny towards me. So a lot of times people feel like giving up. But we got to fight, man. Because this life is something else. And it will put you through different types of trials and tests. But you just got to stay focused.

And I just want to say a positive quote. Today's test prepares you for tomorrow's victories. So no matter what you're going through, no matter what type of thoughts you're going through, whether it's suicidal thoughts or any type of things like that, you just got to use positive energy to push those thoughts up. All right, man. Think about your loved ones, man.

Thank you, brother. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Nobody. The Breakfast Club.

I'm darling. I'm darling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm darling. I'm calling you. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.

Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Deshawn. Caller for Fayville. Hey, Deshawn. Get it off your chest. Hi. Well, I'm actually just a frustrated parent who sent my kids back to school this year. And my son has COVID now.

I also have COVID. So we had negative yesterday. But my kids have been out of school since the 28th. I also have COVID. So we tested negative yesterday, but my kids have been out of school since the 28th. Yes, thank God. All three of us. We actually haven't been COVID. We haven't had COVID the two years that, you know, it's been here. We've been traveling. We've done things.

They've also been vaccinated. And I literally sent them to school, and the second day, my son came home. He had a fever and a headache. I got him tested, and he was sick with COVID. So I feel like we rushed them back. I actually voted for them not to go back. But a lot of schools here in North Carolina, you have to send them back.

They only have a few schools that are virtual. So if you're not in that district, you can't get them virtual. So I just feel like we sent them back a little too fast. And my kids have been out of school now for three weeks. The teachers haven't given me packages. I've been emailing. So it's just frustrating. Yeah, it's crazy because, you know, you talk about your kids going back to school

and, you know, my kids too. But they're talking about, you know, putting the vaccine for younger kids. I wonder why they didn't allow that vaccine to come out first before they make these kids go back to school. Because like you said, you know, kids go back to school. They're wearing their masks. They're around friends. You don't know where these kids have been.

You don't know if the kids have been around their parents. You don't know where the parents have been. So it's definitely dangerous. Yeah, you're right. I just got an email in Classy Dojo from my daughter's teacher saying she's out because she has COVID. So it's just a lot. My daughter also has a substitute right now.

She said she's being super clean, wearing gloves, spraying Lysol. But she's, I mean, it's just a lot. My daughter also has a substitute right now. She said this is super clean, wearing gloves, spraying Lysol, but she's I mean, it's just a risk. How did you know your kids had COVID? Were they sick or was it random testing? No, my son just had a headache and he said he had a fever and his fever was only 100, but

I took him to the doctor either way and they tested him. He had rapid and 30 minutes later, the results came back. He had COVID. Wow. I called three days later trying to test him at home. Wow. All right.

Well, I'm glad y'all feeling way better. Yep. I'm ready for my taste to smell, but I'm good. Thank you. We're sending you healing energy, boo. Yeah, have a good day. Hello. Who's this?

Hey, what's up, Envy? Andre, what up, bro? Sorry, Angela E. Peace, King. Good morning. What's up, bro? Get off your chest. Well, I just want to say,? Andre, what up, bro? Shalameen, Angelique. Peace, King. Good morning. What's up, bro? Get off your chest. Well, I just want to say, you know, good morning, everybody.

I was at E! Day a couple weeks ago with my son. He enjoyed himself a little bit. I saw you out there. Okay, thank you for coming. Shout out to my son, baby, Andre. He's like two years old, but shout out to him. When I listen to the Princess Club on Wednesdays, he's in the car, so I listen to iHeart in the afternoon.

And whenever Charlamagne does an intro, he gets real hype, especially with the ah-ha-ha-ha part. So, you know, I just want to highlight that. Charlamagne, I'm hyped to see your show on Friday, too. I've been dying for something new to come out on Comedy Central on 10 o'clock on Friday,

Y'all have a wonderful day, and I'll be listening to the rest of the show. All right. Thank you, brother. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Y'all have a wonderful day And I'll be listening to the rest of the show Alright thank you brother Get it off your chest 800-585-1051 Don't forget Lil Nas X will be joining us next hour But we got rumors on the way here Yes and let's talk about Maurice Fane

A.K.A. Arkansas Moe from Love & Hip Hop He was sentenced to 17 years in jail We'll tell you why Alright we'll get into that next It's The Breakfast Club Good morning The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Mo.

This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Maurice Fane, a.k.a. Arkansas Mo, who you've seen on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. He used to date Carly Redd. He's been sentenced to more than 17 years in federal prison. That's for conspiracy and wire fraud related to a Ponji scheme

and also for bank fraud and making false statements to a financial institution due to a fraudulent paycheck protection program loan application. They said he used that money to serve, which was supposed to serve as a lifeline to many businesses trying to stay afloat for his own personal greed. He lied to get access to the pandemic response programs. And they said that is not without consequences. And so according to reports, he was using that money to fund his extravagant lifestyle. This started even before that, though, right? From March 2013 through May 2020, they said he ran a multi-state Ponzi scheme that defrauded more than 20 people who invested in his trucking business.

He promised he would use that money to operate the business. Instead, he used it to pay his personal debts and expenses and to fund an extravagant lifestyle for himself. Now, during this scheme, he spent more than $5 million at a casino in Oklahoma. Then in April of 2020, he submitted a $3.7 million PPP loan application. He said that his trucking business had 107 employees and an average monthly payroll of almost $1.5 million. He was going to use that money to allegedly retain workers, maintain payroll, make mortgage interest payments, lease payments, and utility payments related to his business. Instead, he used that money for past due child support, restitution owed in a previous fraud case, cash withdrawals, custom jewelry, a Rolls Royce,

and also for associates who helped him run a Ponzi scheme and to start a new business in Arkansas. So he has been sentenced to over 17 years. And then after that, he has to do five years of six years, no five years of supervised release. And he has to pay restitution of almost $4.5 million to the victims. I'm sending that brother a healing energy. But we've been telling y'all for the last year that you folks, which you fake LLCs, you're going to PPP prison.

We've been telling you that for the past 365 days. Now I do believe that they do need a consequence, but I'm just curious to how many white-collar crimes when people, like I look at somebody named Matthew Montana, he got 11 years, but he stole allegedly $276 million. You know, you look at somebody like Jeff Grant

that said 64 months or 14 months for wire fraud and money laundering. I'm just curious if all the sentences equal to what everybody else's. I'm sure it's not because it never is in America. Now, don't get it twisted. He does need a consequence, but I just want to make sure that everybody's consequence is the same.

You know it's not the same. He's black and they're white, those people you're talking about. That's not right then. Stop. And I don't know what their attorney was like. We don't know what kind of attorney the brother had. What are you trying to say? He might have had a better attorney.

And by the way, this is also him cutting a deal to even get this lighter sentence, you know? So they did drop some of the charges, but some of them clearly multi-state. And like I said, this started back in 2013 where he defrauded people who were invested in his trucking business, allegedly. And I would think you got to get the right attorney

for a federal case like this. It was expensive. It would cost you about a couple million to attorney for a federal case like this. It was expensive. It would cost you about a couple million to fight. We probably didn't have it. Yeah. All right, now, Octavia Spencer has apologized to Britney Spears and Sam Asghari. Remember, we were talking about the whole prenup situation,

and she made a joke, you know, to make sure you get a prenup when she announced, Britney Spears announced that she was engaged. Well, now she's apologizing for that. She said she apologized privately. And she wrote in an Instagram post, y'all, a few days ago, Sam and Brittany announced their engagement. And me being me, I made a joke.

My intention was to make them laugh, not cause pain. I've reached out to this lovely couple privately to apologize and now want to restore just a smidge of happiness that they were robbed of. She said Brittany's fans have seen her through a lot of pain and she's found happiness. We're thrilled for her. So let's show them love. No negativity.

If you feel like you offended someone, sure. Apologize. But what's wrong with telling somebody to get a prenup? Nothing. I thought that's advice. Now, Sam Asghari did comment on her post. He wrote, you are very kind to clarify, but I have no hard feelings whatsoever.

Jokes and misconceptions come with the territory. Yeah, and didn't he say something about, yeah, we are going to do a prenup so she don't take my shoe collection or something crazy like that? Yeah, he made a joke. Come on, man. Like, come on. If you feel like you offended somebody, apologize. But what's wrong with that?

Like, come on. Stop, people. All right, and Wendy Williams has COVID, so her premiere date for her show has been postponed to October. They did do a post. They said she tested positive for a breakthrough case of COVID-19 to allow Wendy Time to quarantine and

fully recover and to ensure that our production abides by all SAG, AFTRA and DGA COVID protocols. We expect to begin the 13th season of the Wendy Williams show on Monday, October 4th. In the meantime, repeats are scheduled. Send in Wendy Williams healing energy. Is Wendy at a vaccine? Did she ever say?

Yeah, she vaccinated. There was a breakthrough case. Okay. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Reports. All right. We got front page news next. What are we talking about?

Yes, and let's talk about what's happening with this Larry Nassar case. Some of the women that gymnasts have spoken of. Simone Biles was the first one to testify. We'll tell you what she had to say. All right. We'll get to that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with U.S. elite gymnast Simone Biles, Mikayla Maroney, Maggie Nich Nichols and Ali Raisman.

They are testifying before Congress. And what they're testifying about is they say failures in FBI's handling of the sexual abuse case against Larry Nassar, who is a former USA Gymnastics team doctor. He was sentenced in 2018 to up to 175 years in prison. And right now they are saying that they have been failed and they deserve answers. Now, Simone Biles was the first gymnast to speak and she was fighting back tears while she was speaking. Here's what she had to say about the trauma that she has after being sexually abused by Larry Nassar. The scars of this horrific abuse continue to live with all of us. As the lone competitor in the recent Tokyo Games, who was a survivor of this horror, I can assure you that the impacts of this man's abuse are not ever

over or forgotten. The announcement in the spring of 2020 that the Tokyo Games were to be postponed for a year meant that I would be going to the gym to training to therapy living daily among the reminders of this story for another 365 days. In addition, Simone Biles does blame Larry Nassar and also the FBI because she feels that they enabled him. To be clear, I blame Larry Nassar and I also blame an entire system that enabled and perpetrated his abuse. USA Gymnastics and the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee knew that I was abused by their official team doctor long before I was ever made aware of their knowledge. That's so wild.

So wild. That man could be taking advantage of all those young ladies and all those girls and nobody, nobody said anything? Not the doctor, not the assistants, nobody? Well, Ali Raisman says that everybody knew what Larry Nassar was doing and nobody did anything about it. Even, you know, the FBI, the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee, the USA Gymnastics, everything.

Here's what she said. The FBI and others within both USAG and USOPC knew that Nasser molested children and did nothing to restrict his access. Instead, they quietly allowed Nasser to slip out the side door, knowingly allowing him to continue his work. Nasser found more than 100 new victims to molest. It took over 14 months for the FBI to contact me me despite my many requests to be interviewed by them one of that will all change if they start charging uh people with conspiracy because if you say you know yeah you didn't do anything then you're you know you're absolutely you're part of the situation absolutely like if you say you know and you did nothing then you

you know that's the conspiracy charge. Ali Raisman said it was like serving innocent children up to a pedophile on a silver platter. Now, in addition, Michaela Maroney details her own horrific incident. I then told the FBI about Tokyo the day he gave me a sleeping pill for the plane ride to then work on me later that night. That evening, I was naked, completely alone, with him on top of me, molesting me for hours. I began crying at the memory over the phone, and there was just dead silence. I was so shocked at the agent's silence and disregard for my trauma. After that minute of silence, he asked, is that all? Those words in itself was one of the worst

moments of this entire process for me. Wow. So imagine you're talking to the FBI, recalling the awful, horrific incident that happens to you, and they just say, is that all? Now, the FBI director, Christopher Wray, also testified and did apologize to the women. I'm deeply and profoundly sorry to each and every one of you. I'm sorry that so many different people let you down over and over again. And I'm especially sorry that there were people at the FBI who had their own chance to stop this monster back in 2015 and failed. I and my entire senior leadership team are going to make damn sure everybody at the FBI

remembers what happened here in heartbreaking detail. That's horrible. Sending all them young ladies healing energy, but if people knew and they let it go down, you're an accessory. They should all be brought upon conspiracy charges. Feds have brought conspiracy charges against people for less. I agree.

The Justice Department has at two separate times declined to move forward in prosecuting the FBI officials whose misconduct was outlined in the inspector general's report. So we're wondering why none of these department officials attended that hearing and there's been no repercussions. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Now, when we come back little nas x will be joining us montaro comes out this friday and we're gonna kick it with little nas x when we come back

Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tried my 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 still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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.

We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Montero.

Little Nas X. What's up, Montero? Montero. I'm a big fan of me, man. You gotta be, though. You gotta be. Why wouldn't you be? How's your spirit?

I love your outfit, by the way. Outfit of flight. I'm pretty happy you happy? can we show iPhones on here or something? yes of course of course

yours is turned upside down so you know it's gonna be 90 degrees in New York today though right? yeah 90 is about 92 I know but it's cold it's cold

yeah when you got a cold coat you can wear it in the summertime but how's your spirit do you feel happy? I feel happy I'm having the best week of my life right now albums out this week.

Album's out this Friday. Well, this is the first time he's here. He was supposed to be here a couple of times, but we finally got him up here. So I want to start from the beginning, if y'all don't mind. Lil Nas X. How did you come up with the name Lil Nas X? Most people thought maybe your name was Nasir and it was a short, but how did you come up with the name Lil Nas X?

I was like, how can I steal three rappers' names and put it into one name? Lil Wayne, Nas, and D-Max. No, no, no, no, no. Like, dead serious. I mean, of course you guys know about the account. I had that account. And I was like, I wasn't going to do music, like, for real, for real. I was just going to post something because I was bored,

and I was supposed to be doing some college work. And I posted a song to my followers. And I was like, oh, every rapper name got Lil, and, you know, Lil Yachty, Lil Uzi. So what if I was Lil Nas? Ha, ha, ha up like keeping it you know and then we add the x on now you were at first you were you were barbed yeah were you one of those barbs that really went at people like the barbs do barbs are aggressive yes the barbs are aggressive I'm still barbed really I feel like that's something it's like a cult you know once you're in it you

can't really get out did you ever attack anybody up here? Like Charlemagne, me, you? Did you ever attack anybody up here? I think I've attacked you guys a couple times. Full transparency. Full transparency, all right. So what made you switch to the government now? The government?

What do you mean by that? Montero, your government name. I didn't really switch yet. I mean, I wanted to get my actual name out there. And people still think it's like a fictional world that I just made up. But yeah, you know. Is it true that your mom named you after the car? My mom named me after the car because she wanted to play the car.

Yeah, yeah. And now she probably don't even want it no more. Now you can afford it. And she don't even want that no more. At least she didn't name you Mitsubishi. I mean, I feel like that would have been cool too. All my Spanish friends think I'm like Spanish or something. So, I mean, that's fire.

So, do you understand when people troll you because you trolled people and like had those accounts does it make you more like okay I don't take it as seriously

because I know I was in that position when absolutely I feel like that's why a lot of to the mic now absolutely

I feel like that's why a lot of just rolls off my sleeves yeah you handle it well when people go at you you handle it really well which is surprising because most artists, they can't handle it. You see them break down. You see them get into problems.

I definitely do break down sometimes. I'm not going to lie, but I'm never going to do that shit publicly. That's the trick. What do you do when you break down? You got a therapist? You got something that grounds you? What do you do? I tried to get a therapist one time, right?

And then, like, the concept of, like, I actually cried to the lady the first session. Nothing wrong with that. And then she texted me about the payment. And it's just like, damn. I was like, this is all. Like, this is all. And it's like, so the money? I'm like.

How much was it? $150? Mine's $150 now. How much was this? It was like $200 or something. Damn. She probably overcharged me. I didn't know. I didn't know. You didn't go back after the first time? Mine's $150 now. How much was this? It was like $200 or something. Damn. She probably overcharged me. I didn't know.

You didn't go back after the first time? I didn't go back. And I feel like I don't really need therapy, honestly. Don't say that. I just, me personally, I feel like everybody out there going to get therapy if you feel you need it. I don't feel like I need therapy because I feel like I've always been my own self-healer. You think always, though?

When I listen to a song like sun goes down and i know that song is inspirational for a lot of people but you pour your heart into that and you even talk about since you were 10 years old just having these feelings so sometimes i think we don't even know the effect of what our childhood was like what it's going to have on us later like it comes up but you have to identify that by i I mean, I've never done therapy, but I do feel like I'm really good at expressing myself and having a good support system. Wait, what's the question? I was talking about the song, Sun Goes Down, right? And how you express yourself on that and just things you went through as a child.

Do you feel like sometimes those things do come back up though? They come back up, but I feel like I'm able to recognize them and that makes things easier you know i'm able to say okay i can react to this differently now you know and i also just remember like we all experience the same in different ways like no matter how bad it may seem and it's like just being okay with that you know it happens it's life we're gonna have a lot of shit happen to us over and over it's gonna be a lot of bad parts a lot of happy parts and i'm just i'm here for it all so yeah i'm glad you went to therapy early you know what i'm saying you're 22 yeah i'm 22 yeah you know i didn't go till i was like 36 you know what i mean so you know i'm

packing all those years of baggage i love it i go once a week i absolutely go once a week still i'm going for like five years five five, six years. I love it. I love it. I'll go back one day. I don't understand why people are so mad about things that you do. People are just really easily angered at things that they already don't like. It's kind of like how

people cancel people that they already didn't like. But they're never going to cancel the artists that they love. That's a fact. That's right. You feel the pressure to outdo everything you've done before? Like, I got to outdo Old Town Road. I got to outdo the VMAs. Do you always think, like, I have to outdo it? I feel the pressure to always just make sure I'm doing my best on whatever I do.

I know I'm going to outdo shit, like, over and over. And it's just like, not like feeling cocky, but just like knowing that. You know, that's how I feel like manifestation works in the first place like you got to believe that and feel it so yeah is there a time you plan to do something and then you change your mind you're like nah that might be too far yeah i mean i i'm pregnant right now so i feel like i definitely have those moments i'm sucking in my stomach right now what's different between this success you're having now and the success you have with old I'm sucking in my stomach right now. Oh, all right, all right. He got in a waist trainer. He got in a waist trainer. Waist trainer. What's different between this success you're having now and the success you had with Old Town Road?

This success, I feel like I'm much more in control of, you know, and I'm making my calculated moves in the way I feel I need to make them, and I feel like anybody that's pissed off are the exact people that need to be pissed off, you know? Because nobody could have predicted the success of Old town road like there's nobody around you not even yourself so what happens when you end up with the biggest record ever i mean what happens is you know you go on you go on the barbershop show and charlamagne's like man what you gonna do that's right and he's like he's like they count you out man i'm like okay and counted you out, man. And I'm like, okay. And then, you know, you just work on yourself,

and you come back out like a flower. You know, you bloom, drop some songs and videos, and, you know, make the world shake a little bit. That's what I see, though. I remember when you did this shop, you didn't seem as free as you do now. Like, when I look at you now, I can tell, like, this young man is really free.

He's really comfortable. You didn't seem that way back then. I guess I wasn't, because it's a process, you know, and I'm still, like, it's a steady thing, you know, throughout our whole life. I guess I'm just further along now than 2019. Did you ever think he was going to be a one-hit wonder? Did that ever cross your mind?

That never really crossed my mind. The only time it never crossed my mind is if I had a bad day and I was already, like, feeling, like, these, like, self-deprecating thoughts or whatever did you ever feel like old time role was bigger than you yeah definitely at one time it was I think so yeah absolutely all right we have more with Lil Nas X when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's DJ Envy Angela Yee Charlamagne Tha Guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with Lil Nas X.

With all these artists you have, you have Megan Thee Stallion on the album, Jack Harlow, Elton John. Doja Cat. Doja Cat, Miley Cyrus. Do you ever reach out to an artist or you feel hesitant to reach out to artists? Like, damn, I don't know if he's going to say yes or no at all. Nicki and Drake. You reached out to Nicki and Drake?

Yeah. No reply from Nicki. Drake was still working on us. No reply from Nicki? You are a bomb. He still is. Didn't you slander Nicki at one point, too? At one point. Yeah. No reply from Nicki. Drake was still working on this. No reply from Nicki. You are a bomb. He still is. Didn't you slander Nicki at one point, too? At one point?

I never slandered Nicki. Oh, okay, okay, okay. I don't. There's, like, a lot of things going around, but I don't respond to any of it, so it's like I respond to any of it because I just want to keep being brought back up. Because Nicki a whole grudge. I feel like the only time I would slander Nicki is if I was, like, on the stand and I was like, I thought Nicki was supposed to be going live or something like that. Like, there time I would slander Nicki is if I was on the stand and I was like,

I thought Nicki was supposed to be going live or something like that. There's no actual slander. Drake didn't reply at all, though. Drake replied, and he was still working on Certified Lover Boy and whatnot, and he was 100% focused on that. This was a few weeks ago, and I understood completely, and he said he's down to do something, but just not the right time. He was trying to get his own shit together. Was there a particular song on this album that you wanted him On I wanted him on dog sign slime. I was gonna ask you about that records the slime is gang slaying

No, like he's not gonna gang now. Are you banging Montero? No. So what's the dollar sign slime mean? He's like, I'm still dollar sign slime. I'm the same dollar sign slime. Because I feel like slime has grown this overall meaning. It's become a super popular word. Everybody just call their friends slime. And I know it came from Thug and whatnot. Came from Noriega, the rapper Noriega.

Really? OG rapper that hosts Drink Champs now. Definitely started Slime. I like Thug popularized it, though. Well, Norie popularized it for his era. Yeah, he did. Yeah, but Thug for this era. Yeah.

And Doll Slime, it's basically just like, I'm the same Doll Slime. That's the hook. But it's like, I'm the same nigga, you know? I'm still him. I'm still that guy. So you banging. Wow. That's the headline. Monter'm still that guy. So you banging. Wow. That's the headline.

Montero admits that he's in a gang. Blah, blah, blah. He admits to being in a gang. Now, Dead to Me is my favorite record on the album. Dead right now. Dead right now. I'm sorry. Sounds very, very, very, very personal.

What sparked that record? I feel like we were getting really close to finishing the album. And then I was still working on music. I mean, I'm always working on music music and it was something about those horns i was like damn this like some drake jay-z ish kind of but i guess a little bit more poppy or whatever and i was like let me try to give like some real insight on here yeah and that's what i did you know people in your life that are that are dead to you basically yeah like people who are dead to me. I guess nobody's ever really 100% dead to me, but it's like some people you just want to disconnect from.

Yeah. Do you feel the pressure of, I see it all the time, parents will be like, you know, you have a responsibility because kids are watching. You hear that Cardi B had that same problem and Nicki had that same problem. Do you feel that same way? Like, raise your own kids.

I feel like I used to, but now it's just like, like, f*** your kids. Not like, f not like your kids that's exactly what you just said you just gave them another headline montero okay what agenda is that the kids agenda it's like um we really get one one chance to do this at least to my knowledge i don't know like what happens when we die or not. So it's like, I'm not, like, about to pander to your kids or you, like, anybody. Like, even I have to do this with my family members,

you know, like, because my family members may not always agree with what I'm doing. Or, like, whoever I'm dating, like, they may not agree. But it's like, I honestly really, truly want to live by, you know, this is our life. we get to do this so what anybody else has to really say about it i guess you know i would say when it comes to the music just tell people that's the reason there's a parental advisory sticker that too on on on the music did you see the youtube kids thing you know i don't know if you saw that it was like a lady she's like she like searched up music for babies oh i saw that and

they said something like that like industry baby popped up and she was like surprised like you looked up baby and music and music like what do you what do you expect from that and your dad was a gospel singer yeah he still sings too he's actually on there right now in the background vocals oh that's dope yeah so what's he oh did he know like i know you've said that you knew since you were five years old that you were gay. And you know how a lot of times your family knows, but you just haven't. I feel like it's possible that he could pick up on stuff. I mean, I was super reserved, though, with s***.

So I guess I hated it a little better. The art of realization. Break down what that is. It's kind of like, a lot of times I think, like, what am I doing? Is this for me? Like, am I really happy doing this this or am I trying to impress everybody? And then like, basically on that, I'm basically coming to the realization that, yeah, this is for me. This is what I want to do.

I'm sure of it, you know? Are you though? I am sure. Because I saw you tweet that you love pissing people off. That was a f***ing troll tweet, honestly. You troll a lot, bro. You troll a lot. That's my thing. So what would you call what you do trolling marketing what is it it's all of it it's all of it's trolling it's marketing

it works what have you realized about yourself in the past couple of years when you're when you're alone in montero just by himself it's just him and his thoughts what have you realized about yourself i don't know. I feel like I figured out a lot of shit honestly because I spent a lot of time in like solitude and like doing a lot

of self-reflecting like I'm, so I'm really aware of myself and like a lot of my hypocritical actions and whatnot which we all have.

Like what? We're human. What actions? What's your hypocritical actions? Just like, you know how I am in my music videos? My videos are much more like sexual actually just like you know how I am in my music video no my videos are much more like sexual and whatnot ain't no I used to be we should be happy that people like oh he's not like those other gay people like Oh

flamboyant and whatnot and it was like that's not a compliment you know these people have been taught like this is not okay it's grown into their mind that that's when it's not that deep so you want to be what you're saying you want to be flamboyant in the videos on purpose just to what are you saying it said it's saying like i want the videos to be entertaining and whether you like it or not like seeing men like do different things than what men always do is much more entertaining and actually actually enjoy it, you know? I mean, I look at it as

you're who you are. So you're living your truth. How can you be mad at an artist for living their truth? That's what he likes. I like it, yeah. Alright, we have more with Lil Nas X when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela

Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Lil Nas X. Charlamagne? Didn't the country community give you backlash when Old Town Road for Us came out? Yeah. And what do they think now? Because they must feel like, I told y'all he wasn't a real country artist. Actually, a lot of country artists have been showing me a lot

of support. And I mean, I don't know what people may think, but I am still going to probably get back to doing some country music or and I mean cuz I like different genres of one I like making a lot of different music so what's the country where you were you a country listen did you listen to country or just it's Bob it was really like I saw like one of these like country trappist kind of songs I was like damn what if I did that but better and you know that's what happened that's how i felt listening to the new album i'm like i have no idea what genre music lord nasa x makes i just categorize this pop now you know but i i do i do a lot of now what

advice is elton john giving you because i always hear about elton john you know putting his arm around certain individuals and giving them real og advice what advice is he giving you what advice is elton giving me uh you know he pretty much has given me like the, you know, keep doing you, be yourself and whatnot. And he probably told me some other things I can't remember right now because. Jesus Christ. I don't remember what Elton John told you. I've been talking to a lot of people lately. Elton John.

So who do you. Thank you, Elton. Who do you respect? Like who do you hear from and you it sticks to you like when you hear it it sticks to me maybe not maybe because we haven't talked in person well we've talked in person but not about that but like i i literally sometimes look up like motivation videos whatnot because kanye is outspoken as and even though that may not always come out you know great or whatnot,

I love that. And I wish everybody was like that. You know, I want to be more like that. You know the thing about Kanye that's so interesting? For whatever reason, Kanye is allowed to make mistakes. Like, the culture treats Kanye the way we should treat everyone. He's allowed to make mistakes for some reason. And he set that up for himself, you know?

Because he's always, he's never going back on it, you know? He's like, I said that's done. Yeah, let's move on and people might damn Now tells a Dominica tells a Dominica Domenico. Yeah, what's that about and he's from there and didn't even pronounce it, right? Yes crazy my father my father is half what is it half here but the problem is my dad doesn't really know his dad so he don't know that side tell the dominica is like from the point of view of when i like first started making music you know i'm writing kind of like i woke up on the floor of the plastic bed you know i was on a mattress at my brother's house and you know there was like a lot of like domestic violence like they were always like fighting with their girls and whatnot and you know randomly like

shooting up into the sky i'm just like damn this is a lot of chaos that was not a sign yeah and it was like you know talking about how i didn't want to go back to home you know because i know my stepmom was just going to like kind of hit on me and it's cuz she wanted the best for me I guess and it's kind of this name tells of Dominica because I feel like to me cuz like that beautiful place, you know You're not talking about Dominican Republic You don't even know Have you been there I haven't it's Dominican Republic. You don't even know how to pronounce it. I actually have to tell him. Have you been there?

I haven't. It's just like I've seen pictures. So it's kind of like tales of this beautiful place, but it's like the worst part of my life at that point. Well, you killed it at the Met Gala. I want to say that. You had my favorite looks for the night. Because I think taking risks in fashion is so important. And I think I love the way that as far as your packaging,

like your persona, your music, and the way that you perform, but also the way you dress is so important for you too. Are you going to do something like maybe in fashion? Absolutely. I feel like once I'm 100% can focus on it and only that, because I feel like a lot of times people like hop straight into something and they don't really

even give a f*** about it and I don't want that to happen. The same like with movies and s***. I want to be in movies and s*** one day but I want to be like

dedicated to that. I'm so mad you passed up Euphoria. That would have been, I love that show. Why did you pass up Euphoria? I love Euphoria, man. I had to finish my album,

you know, and I had to start getting ready to drop singles and s***, you know. I mean, I wouldn't have had this year without that time. No, you're right. Those are hard decisions to make.

Last song on the album is Am I Dreaming. Do you feel like you're dreaming right now? Am I dreaming? Am I dreaming? Yes. Look at those butterflies. You guys missed it. But that's like the theme.

That's the theme of the album. Do I feel like I'm dreaming? All the time. Yeah. You got ADD, don't you? Do I? I think I may have it. You definitely wasn't the kid that did not keep still in class. Definitely possible.

Now he has to leave, guys. He has to go. When's the baby due? The baby is due Friday. You guys had to watch the birth video. You did a birth video? Yeah You know who did that first?

Who? Cosby Show You ever seen that episode? I've seen the pictures of it When people were like having a discourse All the guys were pregnant And they all gave birth to things that they loved So some gave birth to sandwiches

Some gave birth to cars Some gave birth to ships So your idea isn't that original I feel like I did it better I mean I love the cosby show though wait can we say that yes it's hard cosby show made millions go to he's rubbing his knees like he's rubbing his knees like did i just get canceled do you lose respect for artists when they go at you when they take it out of music and say the things that you do do you lose respect for

those artists which artists like whether it's T.I. or Boosie. I still bump T.I. I mean, I was listening to Boosie in the club. I don't really care. Honestly, I feel like I wish they didn't say it, I guess. But I like the music. I'm going to listen to the music. You know, if somebody's got beef with me,

it don't mean I have beef with them, you know? Does it ever occur to you how you're really breaking all these barriers for people? Like, there's a lot of different things, even just being in country music or being in hip hop and being who you are and unapologetic about it. Do you ever think like, damn, I'm doing things that have never been done before? Not really, because I feel like everything has been done before in some kind of way. And this is always different ways to do it, I guess. Well, I think it's dope that people see it that way.

Yeah. Keep doing your thing, man. I like the way you don't give a and i like that you're you're truly being yourself i like the fact you you're clearly free i appreciate it that's right little nas x it's the breakfast club good morning let's get into industry baby thank you for joining us hey guys i'm kate max You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get to the rumors let's talk fadjo it's about time what's going on rumor report rumor report this is the rumor report with angela yee on the breakfast club well you know there's always the versus after effects right and everything that happens after versus as people are reminiscing about what happened that night and explaining things and

talking about who won who didn't win recognizing things that happened during that period of time and one thing that's gone viral is fat joe on stage people were saying that he called little mo and vita dusty. And here's what happened. You had to bring Remy to save you. This is pathetic. You got all the mother dusty let's go. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Let's not go. Hey, yo, check this out. Hold on. Hold on. Y'all see somebody come out here with me? I mean, either. I didn't either. You gotta go to the crack house to find them.

But let me tell you something, Craig. Wow, that was harsh. And I was like, I can't believe that Fat Joe said that because I saw everybody talking about it afterwards. And I was like, let me go find this and see this for myself. But he did say that. And since then, he has apologized. Here's what he said.

I am apologizing to anyone I offended. We was in a rap battle. I got besides myself. But to Little Mo, I love you. I seen Little Mo before it happened. Hugged her, kissed her. After I realized that I went too far, I went up to her and tried to tell her sorry. I told her sorry.

I told Vita sorry in person before we even left the building. Before we left the building, I threw the tweet up. I'm sorry. I disrespect it. I love you guys. Yeah, that was super harsh. And it seemed very out of character for Fat Joe to say something like that. And Lil Mo said, I need everyone to tell Fat Joe he owes a genuine apology. I don't live in a crack house. I'm not a bitch, nor am I dusty. Hashtag street code women and children is off limits. Disappointed legend. And Fat Joe responded, I'm super sorry. I love you and Vita. I said sorry to your face before I left the building and to Vita. I was caught in the moment and I'm super sorry. God bless.

Well, here's what little Mo had to say about his apology. Saying those are the kind of bitches you get from the crack house. It's like, whoa, we've seen the recent deaths from people, you know, overdosing and stuff from the DMXs to the Michael K. Williams. Like, we're not gonna play those type of games because you don't know what anybody's dealing with. So I'm glad to say that I'm clean,

but I don't know who else, because a lot of people were offended. You can't tell me how I'm supposed to feel. Like I still have triggers. I'm healing, but I'm not all the way there. So it's actually disappointing and kind of humiliating for people that may be battling addictions. And I'm not asking anybody to cancel anybody,

but I want people to know you have to be held accountable. I mean, she's right. You can't tell more what to be offended by. Like we all got our own triggers, our own traumas. We all healing at our own pace. You know what I mean? And I guess, you know, Mo battled with addiction at one point. Yeah, she did.

I get it. And, you know, Joe did apologize. Immediately. He did. I'm just a stern believer that the same way I hurt you is the same way I have to apologize. Like, if Joe would have apologized on stage at Versus, this wouldn't even be an issue.

You know what's crazy? I didn't even catch it. He did it on Twitter and he apologized to him in person. But if he would have did it on stage at Versus, the same place he did the disrespect, it wouldn't be an issue. But did y'all catch it when it happened? Because I didn't. Yeah, I caught it. Yeah, I heard it. I saw everything, like all the recaps

the next day, but I didn't even see nobody talk about it until later. I didn't know what was going on. I mean, Jai even called him and said something to him on stage like, I can't believe you called those women out their name like that, Joe. I'm disappointed in you. Well, the reason she said street code at the end of it, I'm not sure if you know,

but that's because Remy checked her. Yeah, I'm about to. Well, Remy Ma responded to Lil Mo and said, stop it, Mo. You know, damn well, Joe ain't on it like that. First of all, you, Vishanti, or nobody had even come out yet when him and Ja was going back and forth. We didn't know who was in the back. Second, I was in the car when you walked through the parking lot and he hugged you and showed you mad love as usual.

No need for your followers to tell him anything. As someone that personally knows you, I'm sorry you were offended. You can call my phone. Matter of fact, I'm going to DM you my number in case you don't have it anymore. But also as someone that personally knows Joe, he was not intentionally trying to hurt anyone. It was a battle between friends that are like family, sidebar, hashtag street code. Don't do social media. So that was Remy's response to Lil Mo.

And then Lil Mo responded, who was you to tell me how to film? Mind your business. F-O-H 100 hashtag street code. Oh, Lord have mercy. It's all escalating. It's all going to a place that it don't have to go. Joe apologized.

Now, like I said, I'm a stern believer that the same way I hurt you is the same way I have to apologize. If you would have apologized on stage, adverses,

you know, Mo probably would have received it differently. But he did apologize. But not to make an excuse for Joe. Well, I can't tell her, I can't tell Lil Mo

not to be upset, though. If she's upset and it bothers her, she is. But it feels, it feels, well, no, you keep saying he apologized. But what I'm saying is it feels like they need to have, it feels like they need to have a conversation with each other because you don't know how hurt somebody is over something. I literally said she's right.

And it's so public. I literally said she's right. And you can't tell Mo what to be offended by. But not to defend Joe. But when he probably said, he probably didn't realize it until after the show. Like, damn, I said something foul. And he went to her face. Let me apologize.

And then he put it on Twitter. Like, Joe apologized. True. He did. He apologized. But when Josh said that on stage, when Josh said that, that was his opportunity right there to say, I'm sorry. We in battle. We in battle.

Sometimes when, like, even if y'all say something on the air, you might say something on the air. And then after, you'd be like, damn, that was foul. fine i get it but in the middle of that i get it but in that moment josh said josh said hey you called them young ladies out of their name you shouldn't have did that that was the moment to apologize on stage but he didn't and he did later it's you know it's a battle we're going back and forth i'm not really listening to you i'm thinking of the next thing was say to try to hurt disrespect you and he was in 90s rapper mode too. He had the army fatigue on with the Timbs. He had the UPS suit on. He was in killer mode. I mean, even Remy told Ja, Remy called Ja

a sucker. Which is far. She caught herself and said, oh, my fault. Right, right. It was in the middle of battle. It was in the middle of battle, but they all apologized. Hopefully, they understand what he did wrong and everybody gets each other on the phone. Joe is not that type of guy.

Little Mo knows that and hopefully they can work it out. Yeah, that's why I was surprised because Fat Joe never is like that. That was the 90s Joe. He's not like that today. So hopefully the two of them will have a conversation without nobody else involved and can talk to each other about that. All right. Now, another thing that happened after versus ashanti people were talking about nelly and somebody did you see somebody sneak

recorded nelly saying that he was gonna go over to ashanti and posted it i didn't see that it was like a sneak yeah there was like a sneak recording that happened but ashanti was on live and she shut down the rumors that uh her and Nelly might be trying to reconcile. I haven't seen him or spoken to him since we broke up. I don't know, six years or something. So I didn't know what to expect. Is there something still there? Stop playing with me, y'all.

I wasn't expecting it, but it was positive. You know, you know, Nelly's single now. Yeah, but I was positive. You know Nelly's single now. Yeah, but I ain't, so. Damn. Okay. There you have it. I don't know. I felt bad for Nelly in that moment.

He might not have been trying to holler. He just might have been trying to say hello. They spent a long time with each other. No? No. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. Can't just say hello?

How you doing? What's up? Hope everything is good. I saw both videos. Nelly knew what it was. It was Hey Big A. He had that twinkle in his eye. Hey, what you been up to?

What you doing after this? I'm in town for a couple days. Hey, man. All right. All right, well, that is your rumor report. Who you giving your donkey to, man? You know, since we're talking about love, okay?

Now I've been called a lot in my 23 years that Donkey of the day is a new one. Yes, donkey of the day for Thursday, September 16th goes to a couple by the name of Cheryl and Donald Ricketts. Donald is 56. Cheryl is 55. They both live in Indiana. They are married. Salute to all the married couples out there who are in loving, healthy marriages.

Drop on the clues bombs for loving, healthy marriages. Okay. When I say healthy, I mean on all levels, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. Salute to all the married couples who constantly scribe the script for their marriages every day. Marriages are like anything else. They need attention. You know, the same attention you would give a plant, all right? Don't take it for granted.

You got to water it and fertilize it, okay? If that's your best friend, you got to fertilize it every day. Act like it every day, okay? If there are things y'all need to work on, work on them, okay? You and a person are getting old together. So you're growing, you're evolving, you're changing. You might not be the same person you was when y'all first met. But pay attention to all of that because you and your wife should be on the same page a lot of times. OK, what you want, your significant other should be on and vice versa.

And that's how the Ricketts are rolling. See, both of the Ricketts got arrested. OK, locked up, incarcerated at the same damn time. For what you ask. Let's go to W.E.H.T. ABC 25 for the report, please. Three vehicle crash involving two drivers who are married. The Posey County Sheriff's Office say Donald Ricketts crossed the center line on State Road 165 and hit a tractor trailer. The Sheriff's Office says Ricketts called his wife Cheryl to pick him up. Before authorities arrived, Cheryl Ricketts allegedly crashed into her husband's vehicle, totaling both vehicles. Police say Cheryl Ricketts' blood alcohol concentration was more than two and a half times the

legal driving limit, and Donald Ricketts' BAC was more than three and a half times the limit when he went to the hospital for a medical issue. You can't make this kind of stuff up. I'm a husband. I'm driving. I run into a parked tractor trailer.

what happens when two hearts find their happy place right besides each other. Even if it's side-by-side mug shots. Please give Cheryl and Donald Ricketts the biggest hee-haw. Don't look at me like that. You want to play a game? No, I don't want to play a game because you on a surfboard right now.

We don't know what happened. She just sent him out. I don't know what happened. Hey, that's just silly. You silly. That's just silly. You silly. I don't know what happened to you.

I don't. Her connection went out. Man, stop. I don't know what happened. We're playing the rumor report at 8.50 with her on it. We're not playing it anymore. Oh, never mind. You ain't tell me that.

See, if you'd have told me that, I'd have went along with you. Why you ain't tell me that? I did tell you that. You don't, I'd have went along with you. Why you ain't tell me that? I did tell you that. You don't be listening. We just had a long conversation. You're right. I was not paying attention. All right.

But anyway. What happened to you? Your connection went out? Our connection went out. You know where Brooklyn is sometimes. Yeah, it's got the worst connection ever. Crazy, crazy. All right.

Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Now, we were talking Fat Joe, Little Moe, Remy Ma, and all that. So what is the question? We were talking about apologies. Yeah, I mean, listen, you can never tell somebody what to be offended by. You know what I'm saying? Little Moe has every right to be offended.

We all got our own triggers. We all got our own traumas that we're dealing with. So I totally get it. It's up to Moe whether or not she accepts Fat Joe's apology. But what is there to do after the apology? All right. So that is the question. 800-585-1051.

When somebody apologizes, what is there to do after the apology? The person either accepts it or they don't. Yeah. What else is there to do? What else is there to do? All right. We'll talk about it when we come back. Let's talk.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Now, Yee had the jet, so we're going to close it out. So instead of doing Ask Yee, we're going to talk about Fat Joe, Little Moe, Remy Ma and that whole situation. So, during Versus, Fat Joe got a little out of character. I mean, it was a battle. He called them these women dusty bitches and said Fat Joe got a little out of character. I mean, it was a battle. He called them these women dusty bitches and said that he got them out the crack house.

You had to bring Remy to save you. This is f***ing pathetic. You got all the mother dusty b****es back there, John. Let's go. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Let's not go back. Hey, yo. Hey, yo. Check this out. Every f***ing song got a feature, John. Hold up. Hold up, Crack. Y'all seen somebody come out here with me? I didn't see you. I didn't see you. You gotta go to the crack house to find them All right, so he apologized.

He apologized to their face at the venue. And then he put up a tweet as soon as he left and said he apologized. That wasn't his intention. He was sorry. He was caught up in the battle. So we're asking, after you apologized, because Little Moe was still affected. Little Moe still hurt. She still wanted another apology.

She has every right to be hurt. You can't tell her, like she said, you can't tell her how to feel. You know what I'm saying? Because she's got her own triggers. She's got her own traumas. You know, she's healing at her own pace. She battled with addiction at one point, so that might have hit her in a different way. Right. So I get it.

800-585-1051. So we're asking, what do you do after an apology? What else can Joey crack do? Right. Well, the best apology is always change behavior. Right.

But I think Fat Joe has showed well, well, a long time ago over the years that, you know, he's not the same guy from the nineties. Okay. And that's, that's why I want to even make this bigger than Fat Joe a little more.

It stems from that situation, but it's bigger than that because we live in a society where folks apologize a lot because you know people it's easy to offend nowadays especially with social media so many things that get taken out of context you know you might say something in the moment you didn't mean to say your intention wasn't to hurt you might hurt but after you apologize and i'm a stern believer that the same way i hurt you is the same way i have to apologize so if i got on this radio and I said something that offended somebody, I'm going to get on this radio and I'm going to apologize to the person. Same way I think Joe should have apologized on stage at Versus.

But other than that, after I apologize, what are they to do? Well, you know what? And you talk about change behavior. And Joe has changed tremendously from who he was back in the day. They used to throw people in vans. Me and Joe did not get along. I mean, I hated Joe, and he changed, and now Joe is like one of my closest people

when it comes to this industry and friends who calls on me, checks up on me. We go to dinner. He's a great guy. Joe is a great guy, so I know it's a changed behavior, and Little Mo is a people's too, but I will say for somebody like myself

who always says the wrong thing sometime when I get out of character, that is me. Like if sometimes I get so mad, I will say things to hurt somebody. And sometimes I take it too far and I have to apologize. That doesn't mean that I mean it in my mind. I just got out of character sometimes or I went too far. It happens to the best of us. That's right.

I do it all the time. The question is after you apologize, right? I think the best apology is change behavior after you apologize. But after you apologize, what is there to do nothing that's all I want to know what is there to do I think nothing he can't be like he apologized to the person's face which is honorable and then he apologized on social media then he went on his live and apologized again but at this point what else you I don't know that's what I'd be wanting to know like what do you

want from people do you want blood do you want them to have to cut their arm off like what do you like what do you want from. That's what I'd be wanting to know. What do you want from people? Do you want blood? Do you want them to have to cut their arm off? What do you want from people? That's what I'd be wanting to know. Hello, who's this? Bernard. There's only one Bernard, sir. What's your name? Bernard. Yeah. Like I said, I've had

it happen to me before. And you know, I just didn't forgive that person for what they did. Damn. So you don't think you'll ever forgive them? No. Damn. I can't tell you. I can't tell you how to feel. I get it because there's some people that I will forgive with things and some people

I'm just not. You know, that's just what it is. But if they, you know, that apology is something different. Hello, who's this? Nicole. Hey, Nicole. Good morning. Good morning. So what are your thoughts? Well,. Hello, who's this? Nicole. Hey, Nicole, good morning. Good morning. So what are your thoughts? Well, I mean, it's really not that much you can do after apology. You can do a nice gesture, that's it.

But I do want to make this clear, and I've seen it. I don't know if everybody was paying attention, but Joe was clearly talking to Fita. Fita's the only one that looked like a fiend on that stage. I'm sorry. He wasn't talking to Mo. He might be right, but it's still foul. Well, it don't... He wasn't talking to Mo. He wasn't talking to Mo. You might be right, but it's still foul. Yeah, it don't matter

who he was talking to. And by the way, if you're somebody like Little Mo who's battled with addiction, that's going to hit you a different way when you hear that. Absolutely.

You don't know who he talking about. Absolutely. Well, 800-585-1051. You know, what does Joe do at that point? Should Joe go to the store and buy them both Birkins?

You know what? Yes. No. No point? Should Joe go to the store and buy them both Birkins? You know what? Yes. No. I see how you get down, Joe. I want a Birkin, too. Alright, if I'm Mo, I want me a Birkin, too. Yes, I do. Okay. 8851051. What should Joe do after he apologizes?

That's a good idea. No. You should have texted Joe and told him, Joe, send her a Birkin. Yes, Joe. That's a great idea. Joe ain't doing that, man. Call us up right now. It's the Breakfast idea. No. You should have texted Joe and told, Joe, send her a Birkin. Yes, Joe, that's a great idea. Joe ain't doing that, man. Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I know it now.

I like it. I like it. I like it. I like it. That kid don't even deal with that. Call me. Add your opinions to The Breakfast Club topic. Come on.

800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. If you just joined us, we're talking about Fat Joe. Now, during the verses,

Joe said this. You had to bring Remy to save you. This is f***ing pathetic. You got all the mother dusty b****s back there, John. Let's go. Hold on. Hold on.

Hold on. Let's not go back. Hey, yo, check this out. This song got to feature. Hold on. Y'all see somebody come out here with me? I didn't either. I didn't either.

You got to go to the crack house to find them. But let me tell you something, Craig. He did apologize, though. He apologized at the venue. He apologized on Twitter and even went on live and apologized on his show. Yes. So we're asking, what else can Joe do? Obviously, Lil Mo was still hurt by it. Yeah, and I mean, Mo has every right to be. Like I keep saying,

we all got our own triggers, our own traumas. We healing at our own pace. Mo's somebody who dealt with addiction before, so yes, it probably hit her a little different. And I'm also a stern believer that the same way I hurt you is the same way I got apologized. Joe should have apologized on stage, but he didn't. He apologized a few times afterwards.

What else is there for him to do? I'm with you. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Twina Jones. Oh, my gosh. I am so excited that I am on the Breakfast Club. I used to watch y'all on y'all website on the weekends. And I am the biggest Ja Rule fan.

So, but my opinion on this situation is really, if you disrespect somebody, you have to apologize the same way that you disrespected them. That's the first thing. And I think that's what I didn't feel Joe did. The second thing is, to me, based on Vita's post, and that's Vita with a C, Joe, she didn't even know why he was apologizing. So it looked like he was just like, oh, my bad, real quick. But he didn't actually let them know, like, the severity of what he said. So once they leave, they realize, oh, you calling me Dusty's and crackheads? You didn't apologize to that extent.

That's, like, really a violation. And you ain't buying me a Birkin. Yeah, stop the Birkin stuff. And you ain't buying me a Birkin calling me Dusty's. And the way he messed up is he knew Lil' Mo was back there. So if you know Lil' Mo is back there, who are you referring to as a crackhead and a justice? Well, you know what?

They were battling. They were going back and forth. They were getting disgusting and nasty. And sometimes, you ever get in an argument and you go too far and you be like, damn, I shouldn't have done that? No, I definitely take it too far, but like, I'm talking to you. I'm not talking to nobody else. Them people is not out here. Nah, you right. He messed up.

Yeah, he messed up. He shouldn't have did it. But, I mean, we all do it sometimes. And the thing is, is after the show, he can't go back on that platform and apologize. So he apologized on his social. He apologized on his live. He definitely did. And he apologized to their face.

Like, you know, he can't go back on that platform. He was kind of yelling a little bit. He's a yeller. And by the way, you can't, like Mo said, you can't tell Mo what she should and shouldn't be offended by. But like we keep saying, after you apologize, what is there to do? Correct. Other than buy me a Birkin. Stop it with the Birkin talk.

Joe, you buying Birkin? Hello, who's this? My name's CJ. Hey, CJ, good morning. How you doing? I'm doing well, brother. What's your thoughts? Man, honestly, I feel like Joe was man enough to come out

and admit his wrongs, apologize to both the women, and to kind of just tie it over a little bit, let the media have their bit on it for a moment, and then potentially just put out a remix or something or even just a new cut in general. I don't know if Vita's still doing music. Well, I mean, Joe? And they might not want Joe on there. They might not want Joe on their

projects. I want a Birkin. You're a bird, man. If I'm Vita or Lil Mo, I want a Birkin. Chantel, good morning. Good morning, guys. Good morning, Breakfast Club. So what do you think Joe should do at this point? Fat Joe should do?

I mean, he got it right. He's wrong. You humiliated these ladies. You need to apologize sincerely, correctly, and drop the bag. Where they Birkin at? That's all I'm saying. That's it. Where they Birkin is, they're full of apologizing.

Word up, Joe. Joe, you set the bar high. Joe, you set the bar high. Joe, you set the bar high. A Birkin, though? That bar is all the way up. $10,000 a bag? Yes. And right now they sold out, so $20,000 a bag?

Hey. That's $40,000 for two? Hey. They need more. They need more. That's right. Two of them. Two each?

Yeah, two each. You stop it now. No, no, no. I mean, not two each. No. Not two each. Not two each. Not two each. You name me one for being, no, no, no, no, no. Not too weak. No. Not too weak. Not too weak. Not too weak.

You name me, you want me to be in dust, see? And name me, you want me to be in the penthouse. Goodbye, JTEL. I hate y'all. What's the moral of the story, man? The moral of the story is, apology, when it comes to apologizing, you know, the best apology is always change behavior. Salute to Fat Joe.

Salute to Lil Mo. Salute to Vida. Iute to Lil Mo. Salute to Vita. I'm sending them all healing energy. We know Joe's not a bad guy. You know what I mean? You know that. And also with Lil Mo, yes, you got to respect Lil Mo's feelings because she got her own traumas and she got her own things she's dealing with.

And when she's ready to accept the apology, she will. But the rest of y'all, stop dragging it because y'all ain't got nothing to do with that. You know what I mean? And that's really the problem, right? These things are done publicly. Correct. So everybody weighs in with their opinion. Right.

The only people's opinion who really matters in this situation is Vida and Lil Mo. Correct. You know? And once they accept it and move on, everybody else got to accept it and move on, too. Now, let me ask you. Yes. They should get Birkins. What about Michael Kors?

No, Birkins. Birkins. Don't do me. Tory Burke? Don't do them ask you. Yes, they should get Birkins. What about Michael Kors? No, Birkins. Birkins. Don't do me. Tory Burke? Don't do them like that. Birkins. Gucci. Birkins.

I saw what you gave with Shanti and Remy. I don't want no consolation prize. I want that same first place prize over that Birkin bag, okay? Geesh.

All right. Well, when we come back, we got to talk about Scarface, all right? So don't move. Rumor's on the way. Yee's out of here. She had to leave early.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Nicki Minaj, boy, they are harassing her on social media now.

She's responded to a White House official who denied that she was ever invited to the White House after she expressed vaccine hesitancy on social media. She did say she was going to get vaccinated at some point, though. So, you know, but anyway, according to an official from the White House, he said, as we have with others, we offered a call with Nicki Minaj and one of our doctors to answer questions she has about the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine. Now, Nicki Minaj had said on social media, the White House has invited me and think it's a step in the right direction. Yes, I'm going. I'll be dressed in all pink, like Legally Blonde, so they know I mean business. I'll ask questions on behalf of the people who have been made fun of for simply being human. Hashtag ballgate day three. Now, the White House official told NBC News that it was just a call that was offered and not for her to come.

This is so pointless. Like, it just all makes zero sense. It's embarrassing at this point. Like, all the things going on in the world, our voter rights being stripped, 17 states passed 28 laws making it harder to vote in 2021. The Supreme Court, the Supreme Court that is supposed to uphold the Constitution voted to uphold the unconstitutional abortion ban in Texas and the unconstitutional voting rights bill in Arizona. You got Biden meeting with Sinema and Manchin, begging for them to get on board so they can get the infrastructure bill passed.

And this is what we worried about? Like, y'all literally should be giving people like Joe Manchin and Kristen Sinema the treatment y'all giving Nicki Minajaj right now raise hell about that raise hell about the supreme court upholding all these unconstitutional laws like this is like this is insane this is insane all right well nikki minaj went on instagram live and here's how she responded about that white house invite do y'all think that i would go on the internet and lie about being invited to the white house? My management, they were on the phone call. And you know what the request was? We'd like to offer Nikki an invitation to come to the white house to speak with two people, Dr. Fauci and with the Surgeon General. Do you know what I said?

I said, well, I would rather not have to travel. Can we do something like a live? But they have never taken that off the table for me to come to the White House. She also said she's never using Twitter again. Who cares, man? There's too many other real things going on in the world. I don't even understand how news outlets, especially the ones on the left, the MSNBCs, the CNNs. Why are they wasting valuable time discussing things like this when you have people when you have the president of the United States of America, Joe Biden, saying that this is the biggest threat to democracy since the Civil War?

What's happening with our voting rights? We're not paying attention. We're not paying attention. All right. And speaking of real things happening, Scarface has had successful surgery after his son donated a kidney. So that's really exciting. And if you recall, he was on The Breakfast Club.

And here's what happened on The Breakfast Club. Friday, they called me and let me know that I was a match with my son. With that said, you know, it's any day now. Man, your daddy must have been a great daddy for you to want to give up your kidney. I ain't gonna go that far. He ain't gonna go that far. He said I ain't gonna go that far.

Damn it, man. So he really just came out and he asked. I mean, he didn't even ask me. I just told him, like, when everything was going down, I was saying, hey, man, you don't have to go through all of that. If I'm a match, I'm gonna do it. Simple as that. Now Scarface's son, Chris Jordan,

went on Instagram to share the good news about his father's successful surgery. Well, man, I'm sending healing energy to Chris Jordan, man, and Brad Jordan, man. Love that guy, Scarface, man. That's my man. Great dude. Always been one of my top five favorite rappers ever.

And, you know, just when you meet your heroes and, you know, they just as solid as you thought they were, it's a beautiful thing. And that's amazing that he was able to do that for his dad. Absolutely. I'm happy that that brother got the kidney, man. I'm happy that his son, you know, loves his pops enough to do it. Absolutely. All right.

Uh-oh. If you guys recall that when he was engaged. All right, well, he did welcome her with a party at Live Miami. Mac Mayne gave her $100,000 in cash during this signee party. There's some videos on social media. Now, she posted her chain and wrote, dreams really do come true. I really hustled. This is no
