Starting point is 00:03:36 I don't know how it is by you, but here in New York City, in the tri-state area, it's going to be 70 degrees today, which is crazy. Why is that crazy? Because it's usually been around, what, 40, 50? It's back to 71? This is amazing. It's November. Right.
Starting point is 00:03:48 I saw a lot of people broke out their winter coats already, their winter clothes and everything, so back in the box. Well, no, only for two days. Yeah, I know. People broke their... Like, you know, cold weather is kind of exciting because cold weather clothing is really nice. Right. Like, we have a lot of new things we want to wear, new boots, new this, new that, but

Yeah, but it's going to be nice in the city today, we have a lot of new things we want to wear, new boots, new this, new that, but then, bang, it's over. Yeah, but it's going to be nice in the city today, which is a lot of fun. What'd you do yesterday? Anything? Let's see. What did I do yesterday?
Starting point is 00:04:12 I had to do two podcasts. Okay. Oh, so one of my podcasts yesterday, I'll save this for Freaky Friday. It's a little nasty. Well, what happened? Tell us. You can tell us briefly.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Well, we had Kelly Provocateur and Moe the Monster on. He's a porn star, and she's a fetish. Moe the Monster. Okay. She's a fetish model. Yeah, what happened? Tell us. You can tell us briefly. Well, we had Kelly Provocateur and Moe the Monster on. He's a porn star and she's a fetish. Moe the Monster. Okay. She's a fetish model. Yeah, you can Google him.
Starting point is 00:04:30 I'll pass. Forget it. But anyway, she has a huge clitoris. It is really like a small penis. I'm going to show you a picture. I'll pass as well,
Starting point is 00:04:40 but she is a female. Yeah, she's a female. So she was showing her thing off. Well, it's online if you Google it. Mm-hmm. Kelly Provocateur. You got to see this thing.
Starting point is 00:04:48 It's huge. Okay. So I learned a lot yesterday. Anyway. Now, when she goes to the bathroom, does it come out of this, the small penis? It's not that it comes out. It's just that, I guess, when you get stimulated, it, like, engorges or something. Mm.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Yeah. I got to show it to you for you to understand what this looks like. All right. Fascinating. I didn't have that much fun last night. It wasn't, I didn't see small penises
Starting point is 00:05:11 or anything like that. Just went to dinner with my wife. I went to this restaurant. We had, she had steak. I had chelain sea bass. It was amazing. Oh,
Starting point is 00:05:18 so she saw a small penis. That was a good one. That was pretty good. That was pretty good. That was pretty good. Well, today we got a special guest joining us. Common will be in the building, so we'll talk to Common. Yes. He has a new album coming out on the 4th.
Starting point is 00:05:32 It's called Make Black America. Black America again. Black America again. He has an album called Black America again. We're going to form a Black America. We're going to form a Make Black America. So we'll talk to him about that. Don't you have to say Oscar award winning
Starting point is 00:05:49 artist, Common. Yes. Okay. But you said it for me. There you go. Thank God. So we'll kick it with Common. Also, he's been like on the front lines of trying to get everybody out there to vote. It's funny you say that because in Front Page News we are going to talk about the Black vote and how much it declined. You won't believe this.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Okay. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. We got Front Page News on the way. Charlamagne will be here in a second. Don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:06:13 DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some Front Page News. Now, in sports, the Cubs beat the Indians 9-3. The fourth game, 7-9 on Fox. Squirrel Series is pretty good. Seven games, it's pretty good. And shout out to the New York Knicks, man.
Starting point is 00:06:29 I'm a Knicks fan, and it just seems like my Knicks look better in the video game. Like, on paper, they are banging. Like, I wash my son. Like, we play back and forth, and he's Cleveland, and I wash him like crazy. But in real life? They're not doing too well. I'm not going to say the suck word, but they're looking pretty
Starting point is 00:06:47 close to suckish. Okay, maybe they just got to get their groove. But on the game, oh man, they are amazing. But alright, let's talk about the black vote. Now it's slipping. Yeah, the black vote is declining. They said right now according to early voting statistics, there's been 24.4 million ballots
Starting point is 00:07:04 passed and that black vote is going down. There's been a dip in that turnout. So that means some Democratic early voting numbers are off pace right now. They're saying some of the millennials are not going out to vote. A lot of people are not interested in voting, which is very scary because you do not want to give this to Trump. Doesn't matter. And they said there have been, however, more Latino voters among those early people that were voting. In Arizona, they said that Democrats are behind Republicans. In Colorado,
Starting point is 00:07:30 Democrats are still ahead of people who are voting by mail and everything. In Florida, Republicans have a narrow lead. And in Georgia, we don't know because they don't register voters by party. So we don't know whether they're Democrats or Republicans that have voted or not yet.
Starting point is 00:07:45 But that's just a little bit of information for you on what's going on. They have to get out there and vote. You have to get out there and vote. Your vote does matter. If not, we're going to let this race slip, and we're going to look up, and Trump's going to be president. You know what's so funny? I was, you know, they send you the general election voter ballot sample.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Yes, in the mail. And I looked at it yesterday, and I was like, damn, Donald Trump really? You know, they send you the general election voter ballot sample. Yes. In the mail. And I looked at it yesterday. I was like, damn, Donald Trump really is a GOP nominee. He's absolutely positive. Like, wow. And he's winning in Florida. He's really the GOP nominee. I mean, Florida, I can see that.
Starting point is 00:08:17 But still. You shouldn't see that in no state show. They should have been put Florida and Rice a long time ago. But y'all Negroes love Miami and Disney World. So y'all still be going down to Florida. But come on, Trump. What? Florida? Yes. I keep telling y'all Florida might be the craziest place
Starting point is 00:08:32 in America. All the craziest people come from Florida. I've told y'all this already, okay? You could have been put Florida in rice a long, long, long time ago. But I told y'all yesterday that voting is down between young black millennials. I mean, they just simply feel like they don't have any candidate
Starting point is 00:08:48 that's speaking for their best interest. And some of them are simply choosing not to vote. Period. Let's talk about this woman who thinks she won $43 million. Imagine this, right? You go to the casino and then boom, boom, boom. You hit the jackpot on the screen. It says you won almost $43 million. Now you hit.
Starting point is 00:09:03 My life is about to change. You said you hit. And you said the slotpot on the screen, it says you won almost $43 million. Now you hit. My life is about to change. You said you hit. And you said the slot machine made the noise. Well, the slot machine said $43 million. So she thought she hit it big. And then she printed out the ticket. And according to the people in the casino,
Starting point is 00:09:20 they're saying it was a technical glitch. That's bullcrap. The managers came over and they said they'll give her a steak dinner. No, that's bull crap. See, everybody thinks the casino's a scam in people anyway. So if that would happen, I definitely would think it's a scam. We'd have to get the lawyers on the phone line. It says I hit.
Starting point is 00:09:33 They should honor that money. This was in Queens. Oh, well, this was by JFK Airport in Queens. Just so you know. Yeah, in that airport, they just have slot machines. They don't have anything else. No tables or anything else. Now, they're saying there was a malfunction, so the jackpot is null and void.
Starting point is 00:09:46 They then took the slot machine off the casino floor and fixed it after the incident. They got casinos in New York that give away that kind of money? Aqueduct. It's just... I think what they were saying was something like that machine doesn't give away more than... I forget what the amount was. $6,500. Yeah, $6,500.
Starting point is 00:10:02 They could at least give us $6,500 then. No, they want the whole thing. Listen, you think your life is about to change when you see that $43 million on the screen? They actually told us she really only won $2.25. See, the owner of the casino was scamming. That lady, it said $43 million. It looks like I know that lady. Doesn't that lady look familiar?
Starting point is 00:10:18 She don't know you. Is that auntie? No, that's not my auntie. But anyway, $43 million is a lot of money. You got to give that lady that money. That's only fair. That's only right. I didn't know it was casinos in New York that gave away that kind of money.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Especially on a slot machine. Who the hell wins $43 million in a slot machine? Well, yeah, they're saying that they didn't win. All right. There you have it. And now Charlamagne on Twitter at TJBFly, she wants you to really do the yo-yo-yo. She said it wakes her up. Stop the music. Stop the music. It's kind of awkward at this
Starting point is 00:10:51 moment. Come on. You should do it. I can't. Bang for us. I don't have the energy right now. Come on. She looks forward to it. It's not like the spirit. We're in bed. You owe me. Go ahead. I don't have that spirit. Just do it. Yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo. No, you gotta put your back into it. Make me bed, you owe me. Go ahead, do it. I don't have that spirit. Just do it. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. No, you gotta put your back into it. Make me feel like you want me.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Why not just sign something for us? You know, this is just wrong. Do it. I don't have the energy right now. We need you to yo, yo, yo right now. Sometimes you gotta do it and you just don't have the energy. Throw the alley then. There you go. Okay. Alright. Okay. I don't know if I could do it now. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Good morning, USA. Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. All right.

Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club, and Common will be joining us in a little bit. Come on in. The Breakfast Club. Hey, yo, hey, yo, hey, yo, good morning.
Starting point is 00:12:00 This is Matt Rapp. I'm going to tell you why, Matt. I'm going to tell you why I'm back. I'm mad because I hung out in the club last night, and there was too many good girls in there. Yo, for real, we don't need none of y'all good girls in the club. This is Jay from Norfolk. Jay, tell them why you mad. I'm mad because I wait my son up this morning. You know, every morning I play with him before he go to school,
Starting point is 00:12:24 so he have a good day at school. And he was like, Dad, why you don't play with me today? I'm like, I'm tired. He's my son up this morning. You know, every morning I play with him before he go to school so he have a good day at school. And he was like, Dad, why you don't play with me today? I'm like, I'm tired. He's like, that's fine. My mom does it better than you anyway. And she gives me snacks. She gives you snacks. You better step up your playing game, man.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Yeah, you better give him some more snacks or something. Yeah, you got mommy playing dual roles and now she outplaying daddy. You should be ashamed of yourself. He made me mad talking about tightening up. What? He keeping you on your toes. That's good. You better tighten up. Hello, who's this? Hey, what tighten up. What? He's keeping you on your toes. Yeah, you better tighten up. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:12:47 Hey, what's up, man? It's Big Ron from New Jersey. What's up, bro? Tell him why you mad. I'm going to tell you why I'm mad, but I got to send a little positivity that way. Charlamagne that yo-yo-yo definitely gets you up in the morning. Definitely stick with that for sure. I need to make a yo-yo-yo alarm clock for my damn self.
Starting point is 00:13:02 For real, for real. But I'm going to tell you why I'm mad. I'm pissed off at the video I saw on the internet with Lil Wayne talking about if it don't directly affect him, then it don't matter. To me, that's hooning, you know what I'm saying? First of all, it affects the people, the same people with the same skin color as you. You can't be that rich that you're that far
Starting point is 00:13:16 removed from reality. I understand. Well, we're going to talk about that this morning. I'm going to tell y'all something, man. I totally understand what you're saying, but it's Lil Damn Wayne. Like, I don't give a damn about what little Wayne says. A lot of people do because a lot of people follow him. A lot of people look up to him.
Starting point is 00:13:30 We need new black leaders then because if what little Wayne says is a detriment to the Black Lives Matter movement, the Black Lives Matter movement is not as strong as you think it is. When you were young, you looked up to Mobb Deep. You had Queensbridge cut in the side of your head, right? Yeah. So these kids look up to Lil Wayne. Man, listen. Well, it's good for us to start our conversation based off of what he has to say.
Starting point is 00:13:50 I think we should shoot down the ignorance when it's said and keep it moving. I see $70 tweets telling Lil Wayne about being Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne has been, okay, let's be clear. Lil Wayne has been saying problematic things since forever. All right? Take the knife out the AK, gun butt these Negroes. He talks about killing rappers. He talks about killing newborn babies.
Starting point is 00:14:09 But now he's gone too far. But that was in his music. Everybody does it in music. Oh, stop it. We got to stop with the in the music. Excuse me. No, it is. People do it in the music.
Starting point is 00:14:16 But when you start having political views and views, people who look up to you. Who the hell is going to Lil Wayne for political views? But let's keep it real. Sometimes we say things and we're not informed as we should be. Like when we had the issue with Envy with the, you know. Lil Wayne is very informed. No, because as a matter of fact, when his ex-wife, Toya, was up here, she was saying that he has no idea what's going on.
Starting point is 00:14:35 You know what? That's a cop-out because I was thinking about it last night. Lil Wayne has made songs about racism before. And I'm going to address every single one of those songs. At the title concert, he was just screaming out Black Lives Matter. I'm going to address every single one of those songs. And Justin, at the title concert, he was just screaming out Black Lives Matter. I'm going to address those songs he made about racism. But wasn't he screaming racism when he was sitting at the court side at the game?
Starting point is 00:14:52 When they asked him to be removed? So stop it. I don't know who put the battery in his back and told him to denounce Black Lives Matter, move it every chance he get. But come on, man. Stop it. But he just said it, like a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, title. I don't know. I honestly don't know. But anyway, well, that is Tell Them Why You Mad.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Keep it locked, 800-585-1051. Call us up if you need to holler at us. We got you. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. That was Hold Up, Beyonce. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:15:21 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let the record show I haven't gotten tired of hearing Beyonce hold up yet. Okay? Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club. Let the record show, I haven't gotten tired of hearing Beyonce, Hold Up yet, okay? Oh, you will. I don't think so. You will.
Starting point is 00:15:30 I love that little record there. That record makes me feel good. You will. Feels like a hug. Now, Common will be joining us this morning. Salute to Common. Now, if Common went on Nightline and Common said,
Starting point is 00:15:40 he don't give a damn about the Black Lives Matter movement, my life matters, especially to my bitches, then we can be in an uproar. Okay? Because somebody like Common knows better. He's been a socially conscious brother all his life. Y'all be mad at dogs for
Starting point is 00:15:52 barking. Y'all get mad at cows for mooing. When pigs fly, let's make that news. Y'all mad. Little Wayne is being Little Wayne and y'all shocked. Jesus Christ. Y'all get moved way too easily. I don't think there's nothing wrong with calling out people on what we think is wrong. Absolutely. I do it every day. Little Wayne is being Little Wayne and y'all shocked? My bitch allowed me. Jesus Christ. Y'all get moved way too easily. All right, let's see my son.
Starting point is 00:16:05 I don't think there's nothing wrong with calling out people on what we think is wrong. Absolutely. I do it every day. It's called Don't Get a Day. They're calling him out. That's all. It's called Don't Get a Day, but I'm going to give him three minutes and keep him moving. And I'm only giving him because I need content.
Starting point is 00:16:17 If I didn't need the content, I wouldn't give a damn. Now he deserves it. Now we got rumors on the way in. I mean, of course, we are going to talk about Little Wayne and what happened with that. And then we'll discuss these rumors of an alleged love child on the way. We'll tell you who's pregnant to a married man. Okay, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked.
Starting point is 00:16:34 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, this definitely had everybody in a frenzy when they saw this yesterday, and that was on Nightline.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Now, Lil Wayne sat down for an interview with Lindsay Davis, and she asked him about Black Lives Matter and the whole movement. Here's how it went. What's your thought about Black Lives Matter and the whole movement. Here's how it went. What's your thought on Black Lives Matter? What is it? What do you mean? The idea is that there's this movement thinking that the rest of America didn't seem to understand that. Just sounds weird. I didn't know that you put a name on it. Somebody got shot by police for a f*** up reasons. I am a young, black, rich m****. If that don't let you know that America understands black f***ing matter these days, I don't know what it is.
Starting point is 00:17:32 That man white, he filming me. My life matter. Especially to my b****. I don't feel connected to a damn thing. That ain't got nothing to do with me. Drop all the booze bombs. Without my life matter, to my bitch's line Jesus Christ
Starting point is 00:17:46 The arrogance and the ignorance It was said with such conviction But let's not just skip over the fact That that wasn't funny as hell I grew up on Chappelle's show And live in color Yeah, but that wasn't a skit That was hilarious
Starting point is 00:17:56 That was not a skit And then he actually removed his mic And walked out of the interview early And he said, I ain't no effing politician Exactly But, you know, Nightline saw Lil Wayne on Undisputed and they saw his very problematic statements about race and the Colin Kaepernick situation. And they knew exactly what to ask him to get exactly what they got, which was that clip.
Starting point is 00:18:16 Right. Period. I don't go to Lil Wayne for political talk. That sounds just as ignorant to me as when everybody was like, Iggy Azalea ain't say nothing about the Black Lives Matter movement. She profiting off our culture. I don't give a damn what Lil Wayne got to say. Denounce the ignorance and keep it moving.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Who cares what comes out of Lil Wayne's mouth when it comes to any social issues? Well, you know, he has got a lot of people around him. He's got kids that have to deal with certain issues. A lot of people look up to him. So I do think when you have to educate your kids on things that's happening in the world and let them know. Listen, reality bites. And reality will bite everybody
Starting point is 00:18:51 in their ass sooner than later. And it's going to come a point in time where he's going to realize that every statement that came out of his mouth was pure ignorance and he's going to need the same support of the people that he just denounced a couple times on TV and he's going to see how that plays out for people that he just denounced a couple times on TV, and he's going to see how that plays out for him.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Absolutely. Watch. Well, let's talk about another tell-all. You know, people are always putting out books detailing things that happen in their life, so on and so forth. Well, here's a new one that's coming out next year. It's by a media personality, Charlamagne Tha God. Now, this book— I don't know, Darren, tell-all.
Starting point is 00:19:24 I was thinking about some work. Let me be honest with you. I was mad. I'm like, you book. I don't have no damn tell-all. I was thinking about something. I'm not telling you. I was mad. I'm like, you want to talk about somebody else's book? And my book just got announced last week. I got no tell-all. What's he telling, girl? What's he telling, girl?
Starting point is 00:19:37 This bird is going to be out here giving all. It's the male super head. That is not true. That is absolutely. That is positively not true. Who do you think he's putting in the bookie? He's going to true. That is absolutely, that is positively not true. Who do you think he's putting in the bookie? He's going to be talking about all the girls that he done been with. That is not true.
Starting point is 00:19:50 I ain't known no lot of girls. Who else? Who else? That is not true. He's going to talk about certain escapades that we may not have known about. That is not true. Remember that one time he took the bus to go see that one guy? Oh, the glitter stick situation.
Starting point is 00:20:03 That's going to be a jest in the book. His name wasn't Glitter Stick. It was Glitter... Oh. Okay. Anything that you wanted to know about Charlamagne and his sex life and who he's been with
Starting point is 00:20:11 is going to be in this book. It's called Black Privilege. Ow. That's not true. How do I pre-order that? How do I pre-order that? The name of the book is called Black Privilege.
Starting point is 00:20:20 Opportunity comes to those who create it. It is a self-help, self-improvement book. Oh, okay, okay. Yes, that's what it is. I was going to say tell all here. Yes, you can go pre-order right now on see the book, C-T-H-A-B-O-O-K dot com. That's clever. Yes, I'm number

Starting point is 00:20:57 Charlamagne will be discussing his journey through the industry with working with Wendy Williams, hosting shows on MTV, and, of course, working alongside DJ Envy and Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. That's what it said in the press release? Yeah. That was weak. I know. It's a lot more than that.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Charlamagne's life growing up in Monk's Corner, South Carolina. There you go. You want to know what Charlamagne had to say about it? He said, I decided to put a book out for the dreamers. Why'd you go that voice? Why'd you do that voice, though? I don't have all the answers, but I've got some experiences. There you go. And lessons I would like to share.
Starting point is 00:21:30 That sounds like me. Why'd you put that soft voice on? Come on, give me a deeper voice. It's not for the pessimists. It's for the optimists. That's it. Who feels like nothing can stop the plan God has for them. There you go.
Starting point is 00:21:40 See the book. C-T-H-A-B-O-O-K dot com. But this is a self-help book. It's like eight of my principles that I use in my life and have used in my life. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. All right.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Thank you, Miss Yee. Coming up next, Common will be joining us. We'll kick it with comedy. There's a new album coming out. We'll go from Lil Wayne's Statements, and then we're going to talk to Common. Yeah. That's the only way we should do it, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:03 All right. Common, when we come back, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:22:12 We got a special guest in the building. Goes by the name of Common. Yup. Peace to the gods and the earth. What's up? Peace, peace, my brother.
Starting point is 00:22:18 How you doing, man? Got a new album coming out this Friday. Yes, sir. Black America again. Black America again. What exactly is Black America again?
Starting point is 00:22:25 I know that's the title of your album, but it seems like it's some type of movement. It is. It's really a movement. It's like a call to action. I called it Black America again because of all the injustices, the inequality, and the marginalizing of black people. We've been seeing that over and over since we've been in this country. That's how America treated us.
Starting point is 00:22:43 But I'm also saying again because we're writing a new story, that's how America treated us. But I'm also saying, again, because we writing a new story and it's up for us as black people and all people to support that new story, which is like just showing who we are as black people and showing the joy, the love, the creativity, which we always do. But I mean, it's just time for us to highlight that and just put that out there. And you've been very active in getting people to sign up and register to vote and encouraging people to vote and the election is next week. Does anything make you
Starting point is 00:23:08 nervous about this election? I mean not nervous but the things I'm just being aware of is like look it's obvious that Hillary Clinton is the best candidate to be president right now. It's just about for me and us just holding her accountable for
Starting point is 00:23:24 the things that she says that she's going to do. Like we should hold all politicians accountable, like local, state level. You know, like we got to hold them all accountable. And that means like showing up if she ain't doing something, we got to stand on that and let her know. But I'm going to try to have faith in the fact that she's going to try to do some things. Because obviously the mass incarceration was one thing that a lot of people were concerned with. to have faith in the fact that she's going to try to do some things because obviously the mass incarceration was one thing that a lot of people were concerned with. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:23:49 She acknowledged that that was a misstep and it wasn't her particularly, but she supported and was talking that super predator stuff. Right. But hopefully she trying to clear that up. We all grow, right? What if somebody was a Donald Trump supporter, but they were a director for your dream role in a movie? Does that get in the way of you deciding to do something, work with somebody based on their politics
Starting point is 00:24:11 or things you don't agree with, or is it strictly business? No, I mean, it does get in the way, because at this point for me, I want to be around energy that I want to be around, you know, and the type of people I want to be around. It's not just like, oh, I got this project, oh, I'm getting this. It's about like, man, this is my life.
Starting point is 00:24:28 I want to spend my life with people that I feel at least going to do their best to bring the best energy. And if you're a Trump supporter, I ain't just going to judge you and say you just bogus, but I'm going to try to figure out, like, what's on your mind? Yeah, what's going on? I was having conversations with some Trump supporters
Starting point is 00:24:44 because, you know, people automatically assume that it's racists and bigots who support Trump. But it's some people who just don't like the government and just don't like politics. So they like the fact that he's a radical and he's not a politician. And he's don't like Hillary. Yeah, that's part of it too.
Starting point is 00:24:56 But my thing is, even with his radicalism or whatever, it's just not, it doesn't connect to being a leader. Like, he's not really a true leader that can lead a country. So even if you're like, man, it doesn't connect to being a leader. Like, he's not really a true leader that can lead a country. So even if you're like, man, I don't like politics, don't just take this dude. This dude ain't got, he ain't shown anything that shows he has the ability to be a president.
Starting point is 00:25:17 Yeah, bring the nation together. To bring the nation together. So that's, my thing is like, man, a lot of these people coming up with this racist stuff because they fed up with Obama just seeing a black man doing what he doing and standing away. He he stood up. But it's like, man, are you going to just do just being a racist? Are you just going to vote for somebody that's inadequate to be president? That don't make sense. You know, I just don't ride with it.
Starting point is 00:25:39 I was talking to my homegirl, Simone. She used to work on Bernie Sanders campaign. She was telling me that young black millennials are not interested in the voting process this year. Like, it's the lowest it's ever been. You had to tell him something. Man, my thing is, like, at the end of the day, all the stuff that you protest for as young black millennials, all the things that you stand up and see the injustices going on with young black people and brown people, if you don't vote, you contributing to that injustice. Like you saying, man, you know what?
Starting point is 00:26:08 I don't care because I don't care about these actual candidates, so I'm not going to do anything. Well, if you allow anything to happen, you allow a president, I ain't going to say a president, you allow somebody like Trump to get into a presidential space, then it's going to be worse than ever. So we got to move things. Everything ain't going to move immediately.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Some things just take time to change. I seen you in, we were in Southside, Jamaica, Queens. Yeah. You brought the CEO of Starbucks to Southside, Jamaica, Queens. You would look like you know the CEO of Starbucks. How do you know the CEO of Starbucks? You probably got a lifetime membership card. Of Starbucks.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Yeah. Well, that's, you know. Talk about that initiative that you was out there doing. Yeah, that's my guy, Howard Schultz. That's my guy. Yeah, so, you know, he reached out to me, like, when John and I was doing the whole Oscar campaigning and stuff, and he was like, man, I like what you're doing.
Starting point is 00:26:58 So we just started building a real friendship, and it was like, I saw that he was serious about wanting to do stuff in the community. So I would sit there. Other than build Starbucks. Other than build Starbucks. Right, exactly. And even within that, he was trying to do some things. But for me, I would be like, man, look, this is what we need.
Starting point is 00:27:14 We need jobs out there. We need opportunities. We got to go in the community and do whatever things that I was aware of. I'm like, this is what we're trying to do. We went out. He and I, we set up this thing called 100,000 Job Initiative. So we started in Chicago, but it's all around the country. Man, I've been seeing youngins getting jobs, man.
Starting point is 00:27:33 I was out in the hood in Chicago in Englewood. These two girls walked up to me. Like, man, Carmen, we coming for my job we got when we went to your 100,000 Job Initiative. That's dope, man. That touched me. I was like, this thing is being effective. So for me, it was about connecting
Starting point is 00:27:46 with him on a level because he's sincere and he's true about it. Just speaking the truth to him. How did you meet him? Where were you when you met the C4? He said he was down to him.
Starting point is 00:27:55 He was in Starbucks. No, no. He hit me and was like, let's have dinner. He texted you out the blue to do what I'm calling. Actually, his person hit me and then he was like,
Starting point is 00:28:03 yo, how I want to meet with you. And then I went and had dinner with him. And then from there. You make it sound so easy. Doesn't he? Like, that's not the CEO of Starbucks. I know. I ain't going to lie.
Starting point is 00:28:12 I was kind of like that. But let's keep it real. This is common. And I'm sure the CEO of Starbucks is like, okay, that is the perfect person for him to try to team up with to do some of these initiatives. So we control the culture of cool. So regardless of how rich they are, what they do, they still want to be with the cool people. Yeah, but my thing was, like, about having somebody that,
Starting point is 00:28:30 you know, you could tell when companies just want to, like, they just want to take advantage. And I didn't feel like it was coming from that place. That's why I was like, cool, I'm going to sit here and build with you and see what we really could do. He didn't have me out, you know, I'd have been out to his crib. Like, one of the reasons I was doing Black America again, like, at that Queen spot is because I was kicking that rhyme to him at his crib in the Hamptons.
Starting point is 00:28:49 I was like, check this out. He was feeling it. He was like, man, you got to do that at the Starbucks thing. I'm like, yeah. All right, we got more with Carmen. When we come back, don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:29:02 The Breakfast Club. That was I Love You Girl, The Dream. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Common in the building. Now, Yee? Do you consciously say, let me put out Black America
Starting point is 00:29:19 again right before the election? Yeah, I was because I wrote it like back in March and I was rapping in different places and churches and different things. And actually I was talking with Ava DuVernay who directed them. 13. Yeah, the 13th was strong, man.
Starting point is 00:29:36 And she was like, man, this is, man, it's powerful. You got this music coming election year. You should put it out around that time. And it just honestly kind of worked out you know i had to get everything together and get everything organized and it did it was strategic at that point to be like look this needs to come out around the election time now what's love start your hashtag love start i see you using that a lot yeah i use that i mean
Starting point is 00:29:57 the love star is a song i did on the album it was me and marcia ambrosius and this girl pj very dope and uh you know it's just another way of calling it. It's another term of affection to your girl or something. Like, that's my love style right there. So it's just a song. You wrote it for Regina Hall? Nah, man. Regina, that's just my people.
Starting point is 00:30:15 That's just my buddy. Oh, okay. You guys broke up already? Nah, nah. We never was like, we never was in that space. You know, that's just like somebody I care about as a friend. We work together. Right.
Starting point is 00:30:28 And right now, I'm just single. You saw it on the blogs, though. I know. I saw it. Y'all met at Barbershop 3. And broke up on the blogs the next week. I know. I seen it.
Starting point is 00:30:37 No, they didn't break up on the blog yet, but he did say he's single. So maybe they just never. Yeah, it was just like, you know, point blank, just friends. She funny. She's super cool. Beautiful. She did come up here and say she had a man, though. Yeah, it was just like, you know, point blank, just friends. She funny. She's super cool, beautiful. She did come up here and say she had a man, though. Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:50 I mean, well, I don't know. She probably does. She probably does, but, you know, that's my buddy, and I'm single, so, you know. Jesus Christ, Carmen. Did you have to let her know like that on the breakfast club? Goodness gracious. Carmen gets linked to everybody, gracious. I'm going to get something to everybody, boy.
Starting point is 00:31:06 I remember you were linked to Laura Dern at one point and then you were like, look, we just worked on something together. We went to dinner. You can't even go to dinner.
Starting point is 00:31:13 You're having a good time out here. Yeah, I mean, let me tell you, like, Laura Dern is actually an actress that I worked with in a movie.
Starting point is 00:31:19 And she and I was in the same acting class, too. So, and I've known her for a while. So, friends, you known her for a while. So, friends, you know, you go, you, look, at certain points when you're working with people, you're going to go out, you hang out with them. You know, it doesn't necessarily mean you're with them.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Charlamagne, French Montana Common, which one you'd rather be? Because, you know, we talk about French Montana Common being linked to all these beautiful women. Which one? Charlamagne, I got a good, I got a nice, nice group of women that I, that I. Oh, yeah, you got a great thing. I got a credit, credit, credit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I'd rather be common because common more discreet with it.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Yeah. You don't have the reputation as a hoe. Yeah. Man, that's a good, that's a good answer. He's like a gluten-free hoe. Vegan hoe. You know what I'm saying? He says sweet things like love star. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Look, this is the thing you would have to, this is the thing you could ask any of my exes. We still cool. It's still love. You know what I'm saying? I talk to them, and it's always love, whether it's Serena, Erica, Taraji. See, that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:32:24 You got more classics than French. French only got one classic on this belt. That's the night. You just named three classics. Like three classics that men have sat around and been like, whoa. Yeah, those are the ones. Do you text after you see Serena dance with Beyonce? Do you just text and be like, hey, big head?
Starting point is 00:32:41 No, I tell her she look good. I was like, yo, you snapped in that. I got to look up this Rihanna quote for Common, though, that she said. Rihanna said something about Common, too? No. What did she say? She said, none of my exes are married or in happy relationships, so it's safe to say I wasn't the problem.
Starting point is 00:32:58 You got to honor that. Are you shocked that all this black consciousness is just rising at one time? I mean, I'm actually, like, happy and inspired by it because it's just showing that we speak, we do care, and we speak up for ourselves, and, like, we are aware. You know, a lot of times we've been stereotyped as, like, oh, man, hip-hop don't really, hip-hop exists. And, you know, at certain times it becomes imbalanced.
Starting point is 00:33:22 Yeah, but as you see, no matter who it is, people speak up. I just did, for Black America again, I just did a remix with Pusha T, Gucci Mane, and BJ the Chicago Kid. And I felt it was like, man, Black America is coming from everywhere. It ain't just coming from just the people that we label as conscious. It's like coming from Gucci. It's coming from, you know, Chance, it's coming from all these cats.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Like, we care. So I love that the black consciousness is aware and out there right now. Are you happy rappers are rapping again? Like, you started to see the lyrical content back in the music? Dude, that's what got me geeked to get in and, like, just do some music. Like, it was, I'm like, man, you got people out there like Kendrick, I love Chance, and Ye still be doing his thing. It's like, man, I be like, man, you got people out there like Kendrick. I love Chance, and Ye still be doing his thing. It's like, man, I be like, man, people out there rhyming.
Starting point is 00:34:09 And Dre 3000 will give you a verse that you like, damn, I got to step up. And that's the stuff that always inspired me. Plus, I be going to stuff like Ta-Nehisi Coates' book. It's called Between the World. Yeah, Hamilton. And seeing different things, it just inspired me as an artist to be like, I could be higher.
Starting point is 00:34:27 I could be a better writer. I want my rhymes to be around, like when we look back at James Baldwin or Langston Hughes or some of the speeches by Malcolm X. I'm like, I want my rhymes to be there. You're producing a show about 90s rappers going through a midlife crisis. Have you ever went through that? Oh, man, yeah, for sure. I've been through some times where I'm like, man, where, you know, like, where do I fit in?
Starting point is 00:34:52 It was one time when it was the Koofy time. I was confused at that time. Man, but you know, for me, I was just. Electric circus. Yeah, you always referenced that one. Every time he comes up, he's like, hey, we know. We know. We know.
Starting point is 00:35:07 We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know.
Starting point is 00:35:08 We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know.
Starting point is 00:35:08 We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know.
Starting point is 00:35:08 We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know.
Starting point is 00:35:09 We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know.
Starting point is 00:35:09 We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know.
Starting point is 00:35:10 We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know.
Starting point is 00:35:10 We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know.
Starting point is 00:35:10 We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know.
Starting point is 00:35:19 We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. We know. piece is not going to always get to people, but my thing is, like, as a person, you got to evolve the way you evolve. You got to grow into the things. And sometimes
Starting point is 00:35:27 you're going to look back. I can look back and laugh at some of the pictures, you know, the way I was dressing and stuff. We all can. But it's still, you know, it's still like, man, this is who I was. I still embrace it. I still stand behind electric circuits like I do be, or like I will with Black America again, because
Starting point is 00:35:43 that's who I was at that time. I always say it's easier for guys like you to evolve in hip-hop though because you never claim to be the street rappers the street rappers are the ones you see going through the midlife crisis yeah cuz they still got the hoodies on at 45 still ice-grilling still mean mugging like you you're an adult you've been carrying yourself like an adult yeah I think that man I think um that's like sometimes you can get stuck in the thing like when you like first come out and you say oh this is who i am and if you don't show that true evolution you like you start said all right
Starting point is 00:36:14 i'm gonna make this music because people already like me doing that instead of just going where you go with it um the artists that i've seen evolved they evolved like as human beings like and then you see that coming out through their music. So me, I was always like, okay, well, now I'm talking about God and Islam and this. I'm going to talk about it. Now I'm talking about love. I'm going to talk about no matter how ridiculed I get or, you know, what people think of it, I just felt like I needed to stand in my presence and stand in my truth.
Starting point is 00:36:44 And that's just basically, you know, to me, that can help build a career. You know, you got to have talent. You got to have faith in all the other things that align with it. But if you stand in where you truly are, I think you can evolve and grow and be that artist that has a career.
Starting point is 00:36:57 We were just talking about Jay-Z's evolution for Halloween because we saw him dressed as a Ken doll. And people clowning him like, yo, he's a 46-year-old man. When he's white, he's a kid. You're going to do whatever your daughter wants you to be. I mean, look, when you grow up and be an adult, you got kids, you got a family. You're not living for the millions of fans that just say,
Starting point is 00:37:17 man, you should do this. Not in your personal life. You make art and music for the fans. But, man, how you treat your family and the way you conduct yourself with your family is your business. If it get out there, it's cool. That's why, for me, when it comes to social media,
Starting point is 00:37:32 I do social media, talk about things that I'm doing in music and in art. My personal life ain't gonna really be all over social media because I'm not trying to put my personal life for people to judge or to like it or whatever. This is me. This is how I live.
Starting point is 00:37:46 I don't need your approval for what I do with my daughter. You know what I'm saying? So I respect. I love what Jay-Z doing. He's just being a grown man. All right, we got more with Common when we come back. Let's get into a Common mini-mix. Keep it locked.
Starting point is 00:37:58 This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was a Common mini-mix. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club. Common's in the building. Now, Common, you spend a lot of time in the White House.
Starting point is 00:38:10 You do a lot of things for the president. The black community, a lot of the black community, are not too happy with Barack Obama. They feel like he really didn't hold down his community. What are your thoughts on Barack Obama and how he did in the eight years? I feel that the president came in with the intention to do a lot of great things for
Starting point is 00:38:26 the community, for black people. And I feel like he hit a lot of walls dealing with the politics that's there within Congress. And I don't think he even knew that it was going to be that much resistance because people, you know, was like, Barack, Barack. Everything you want to do, we're going to shut it down. The Republicans. The Republicans shut it. We're not going to let anything pass.
Starting point is 00:38:44 Yeah. So I think he was there. I think he might at some point might have got tired. At some point he had to probably deal with politics the way it goes. But I always felt his intention, his heart was to help black people. And he's still doing it. He had a meeting for My Brother's Keeper, which is his initiative that's helping out young black people. It was me, Rick Ross, A$AP Rocky, Alicia Keys, Chance the Rapper,
Starting point is 00:39:06 Nicki Minaj, all sitting in the White House talking about, like, prison reform, talking real stuff in there. He sat with us for, like, four hours. He said, with no secret service, no nothing. And Rick Ross, ankle brace, who kept going up. Yeah, it did go up. Yeah, the president was like,
Starting point is 00:39:21 he was like, what's that? And Rick Ross just came out like, that's my bracelet, you know, like. And then the president was like, man, you really keeping it real, huh? And he was like, man, I need to know because, you know, you never know what's going on. You hear these things. It was just beeping noise. You could tell he's in tune and really does care.
Starting point is 00:39:41 So I think his presidency, if you look at what he's done, just symbolically, too, man, he's changed the world, man. Not any kid feel like they could at least be president. At least they know that they could be president. So I think, you know, that in itself is already a change in the world. That's what I feel like Hillary's presidency will do, too, because I think about my daughter. My daughter's eight.
Starting point is 00:40:02 So all she's seen is Barack. Now she sees Hillary. She don't even know that standard of an old white man in authority. That's what I love. I mean, you know, I feel like, man,
Starting point is 00:40:12 it'd be great to see a woman rule, you know, and be the head of the state. Like, I think things would be better and we need that energy and we do want our daughters to see that.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Absolutely. Now, with the show, it's called 93 Tell Infinity? Yeah, right now that's the working title. Why a far side title? That's so the mystery. So the mystery. The writer started basing the show on something like a lot of 90s hip hop
Starting point is 00:40:35 because like 40-year-old rapper and the guy, the white guy, the two leads, they grew up in the 90s, loving 90s hip hop. Part of it's just like he was saying how he goes to weddings and now like Scenario is the old school and it's on everybody dancing to it. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:40:55 You're a supporter of Prop 64 too, right? What is it? The weed? Yes, I am. Recreational or just because of the criminalization? Because of the criminalization. I mean, for me, it's about, like, the fact that so many black men and brown men been put in jail for weed for a long time.
Starting point is 00:41:17 And I think, you know, shoot, legalize it, I mean, at the end of the day so that won't be happening. My whole thing is mass incarceration has really been, it's the new slavery. We know that, but we just gotta figure ways to get through that now at this point. And then you also have the Common Ground Foundation. Yeah, yeah, we definitely, we're strong with
Starting point is 00:41:36 in Chicago, we've been real strong with our young people as far as just giving them opportunities and helping them develop them as far as academically just helping opportunities and helping them develop them as far as academically, just helping them to see, like, okay, I could dream about that. I could be a chef. I need to know what nutrition is.
Starting point is 00:41:52 I need to know, like, what yoga is just to be exposed to different things and also, like, different professions. Like, we have them work as part of our festival. It's our festival that we have every year. They, like, do, they learn what sound engineering is and lighting engineering. So it's about exposing them and just being there for them. We see them through from 14 to 18. We just had our first graduating class. One of the youngest go to Morehouse, and I just saw him,
Starting point is 00:42:19 and they still doing it, man. So we doing it with the youth there. And obviously, y'all know Chicago got some things that we gotta work on, so. Over 600 murders this year. I think they just had their worst weekend. Yeah, 17. What do you think about gun control as far as that? Because that's a big problem in our community.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Man, I don't have the solution to what we need to do with it, but we definitely gotta get the guns off the streets as much as possible. Along with, we also just got to get jobs and opportunities into the neighborhoods because when you got something to do, when you got something productive to do with your life, you're not really sitting there out there trying to do as much dirt. You ain't out there just wasting your time doing unproductive things
Starting point is 00:43:00 or even looking to destroy somebody else. We all feel good when we got jobs. Like when I get a new movie or album coming out, I feel better about myself. So just having jobs and opportunities will create better economy and, I think, less violence. Well, listen to what you just said. You said movies, TV, whatever.
Starting point is 00:43:19 That's what these kids want to do. Yeah. They don't want to work at Starbucks. Yeah. Well, I mean, but sometimes you got to do things at a step... You got to start somewhere. Yeah, you got to.
Starting point is 00:43:25 And it's great for other people in the community, too. Like, if you as an adult, then you have kids and they see you working and making a better life for your kids. Yeah. It's like a trickle down effect. But then people can see you like not having it. Nobody, I would feel like nobody should want to have to be out in the street doing those things if there's a better alternative.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Yeah. I mean, I don't think people just want to be on the streets. That's just saying. Like, people don't think people just want to be on the streets. That's just saying. Like, people don't want to be locked up. I think sometimes they do, because, you know, with music, sometimes it's the glorification of drugs and the glorification of guns. And the streets bring that lifestyle that the entertainers had. Starbucks employees ain't getting these hoes.
Starting point is 00:44:00 They ain't driving Benz. Yeah, that's it. But, I mean mean I agree that At certain points sometimes Entertainment has been the thing that May glorify Like the street life But I think once people experience it
Starting point is 00:44:16 And you getting shot at And you get shot or you go to jail Or somebody in your family gets shot Or goes to jail Then you realize that ain't, like, the best way? And that's why even when we talk about prison reform, like, some of the people that make those mistakes, we need to be able to, like, have some forgiveness
Starting point is 00:44:34 and rehabilitation and develop them. And like you said, hopefully it's before it's too late. When you got 17 people being shot, I'm saying the number, but that's people that died. They family, like, a lot of them kids under 20. And, like, when you but that's people that died. A lot of them kids were under 20. When you got that, man, it's just like, we shouldn't be living like that. We could do better.
Starting point is 00:44:51 I think the opportunities and programs within our neighborhood. I know for sure when I played biddy basketball, my mother made sure. She made me go to computer class. I didn't want to. I'm ready to hang out. But all those things helped me do something to stay on at least a good enough path.
Starting point is 00:45:10 You know, I was out there hanging out a little bit, but I knew not to go too far over here because I had something to dream about, something to achieve. And people in the neighborhood respected you for that. Yeah, yeah. They definitely honored that. Like, I had some of the wildest homiesies and no matter what, when they see me on my ding, they like, ah, alright, go ahead, do your thing. You know, I come around
Starting point is 00:45:30 when it's time to come around. But like I said, I knew how to draw the line. You've always been socially conscious but now that you're older and more mature, what do you feel like your responsibility is? My responsibility is to speak the words of God,
Starting point is 00:45:46 to activate and inspire people through the art and through being an activist. As long as there's people that's hurting out there or there's inequalities out there, my responsibility is to speak up and be active towards changing that situation. That's
Starting point is 00:46:01 my responsibility. Well, pre-order the album right now, Black America. Well, pre-order the album right now. Black America, again, it's out November 4th. Yes, sir. And we appreciate you for joining us. Thank y'all for having me. Only good seeing you coming. Nah.
Starting point is 00:46:13 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor report. Rumor report.
Starting point is 00:46:26 This is the rumor report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, they have released these 911 calls that Larsa Pippen had made. Apparently, she felt that Scottie Pippen was being too aggressive. Here is the first call. 911, what is your emergency? Can you send someone over here?
Starting point is 00:46:46 My list is being really aggressive with me. Hello? Is it verbal or physical, ma'am? Hello? There's no incident, ma'am. Can you talk to this lady? Hello, ma'am? Yes, what is it?
Starting point is 00:47:01 No, just cancel it. Just cancel it. Are you sure, ma'am? Yeah, just cancel it. You can't cancel 911, sure, ma'am? Yeah, just cancel it. You can't cancel 911, though. They still got to come, though. Jesus Christ. This ain't no Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut, right.
Starting point is 00:47:10 You can't cancel that delivery. You can't make an order and then cancel it. No, I can't. Well, that call was October 1st, and then on October 4th, just three days later, she made another 911 call. 911, what is your emergency? Welcome over here, please. My husband's gotten crazy again with me.
Starting point is 00:47:28 Okay, and what do you mean your husband's gotten crazy with you again? He's breaking things. He's just scaring me. And where is he now? He's left the room because I called you. I don't know. Okay, and are there any injuries, ma'am? No. And how long ago did this happen? A little bit ago.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Are there any weapons involved? No. 911 says they don't deliver to that address anymore because every time they deliver the pizzas, the order gets canceled or somebody steals the pizzas. Right, well, I guess she was scared because she said he was breaking things. And it doesn't seem, according to this,
Starting point is 00:47:57 she didn't say that he got physical with her. Now, they do have a prenup that they signed back in 1997. And according to Larsa Pippen, she's saying that prenup that they signed back in 1997. And according to Larsa Pippen, she's saying that prenup is no longer valid because about one year ago, she and Scottie Pippen agreed to nullify that prenup. All right, so she does want spousal support. She wants the house. She wants tuition for their kids' private schools and some other things as well. Now, for Scottie Pippen, he wants to move their four kids from Florida to Chicago with him,
Starting point is 00:48:27 and she wants them to stay there with her in Florida. So she's worried that he's not going to pay her after the divorce, and she also wants to use his life insurance policy as collateral just in case he does not pay her. Whew, it's getting messy, boy. We're getting disgusting. Yeah, but there you have it. That's what's going on with Larsa Pippen and Scottie Pippen. At first, they were trying to say maybe it could still work out,
Starting point is 00:48:47 but now it's not looking so good. Now, here's some more drama. I saw this as a Bossip exclusive. Apparently, Reggie Bush has gotten another woman pregnant, and that woman is named Monique Exposito. He gave her allegedly $3 million for her to not have that baby and to keep quiet about everything. They're saying that Exposito was actually originally
Starting point is 00:49:09 Alonzo Morning's lover. Side piece. And she actually had gotten fertility treatments to try to get pregnant by him. During their relationship, he would give her all kinds of lavish presents and make sure that she was front row at his Miami Heat games and she would go with him to New York City.
Starting point is 00:49:25 But Reggie Bush is the one that ended up getting her pregnant. And so there you have it. She's due in the winter and she's already shopping for a nice big house on the water. I thought he gave her three million dollars not to have the baby. Well, she's having it. And she kept the money? Yeah, I guess so. So this is all according to Bossip.
Starting point is 00:49:41 Three million dollars to keep a baby? No, to not have the baby. But she's still having it and took the three million. No, that's it. We had to haveASIP. $3 million to keep a baby? No, to not have the baby. But she's still having it and took the $3 million. No, that's not. We had to have a contract. Why wasn't no contract in place? You can't get a contract for abortions? You probably can.
Starting point is 00:49:54 Yes, you can. You have to. But maybe he didn't want to. No, he doesn't want that paperwork out there. No, you don't put that kind of money under the table. That's not an under-the-table type of deal. He's married. That's still not an under-the-table type of deal. He's married. That's still not an under-the-table type of deal.
Starting point is 00:50:07 And we're going to have another deal if I give you another $500,000 to keep your mouth closed. Well, they say that Reggie Bush's wife knew about it and she believed that she was going to go get that abortion in exchange for that money, but I guess she didn't. So there it is. I might have to take that up with my wife and just give her the $3 million.
Starting point is 00:50:24 What? Here, baby, it's for you. I'm sorry. I cheated on you. I had a baby, but I'm not going to take care of him. I can't believe people really do things like this. I promise I won't be there for the child. Stop it. I hate you. Alright, well that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. You're a jerk, man. I promise I will not be there
Starting point is 00:50:40 for my side chick's child. You can't ever take it out on a child, though. It's not the child's fault. This guy is a jerk. The child didn't ask to be here. He sure didn't. And he ain't gonna ask me to take care of him either
Starting point is 00:50:52 because he ain't gonna never meet me. You're a jerk, man. That's not cool. Donkey of the day. What are you giving that donkey to, man? Hey, man, we need Lil Wayne
Starting point is 00:50:58 to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with the young man. Give you a quick Lil Wayne history lesson. Okay. All right, we'll do that when we come back.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on in. Charlamagne, say the gang. Don't get out of shape, man. You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate.
Starting point is 00:51:21 I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit it with the heat. It's a breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Well, donkey of the day for Wednesday, November 2nd goes to Lil Wayne. Weezy F Baby is what they call him. He's currently trending on Twitter. There's damn near 100,000 tweets about this subject.
Starting point is 00:51:43 I honestly don't even understand why we are giving this too much energy because it really shouldn't be news. Is it news when dogs bark? What about when cows moo? Are we in an uproar when cats meow? When pigs oink? What about when Young M.A. goes, ooh! Is it ever news when
Starting point is 00:51:59 any of that happens? No, it's not because we expect all those things to happen and they are not a big deal. But alas, when it comes to celebrities, even if we know where said celebrity stands on certain things, even if we already know what to expect from certain celebrities on certain issues, we still act shocking and awe when they say problematic things. And one of those celebrities who is always saying problematic things is Lil Wayne. Now, Lil Wayne was on Nightline last night giving his thoughts on the Black Lives Matter movement.
Starting point is 00:52:27 Now, he's given his thoughts on socialists before, in particular when asked about race and Colin Kaepernick's protest of the national anthem on the show Undisputed with Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharp. He said this. Let's listen to the clip. These 33 years have been nothing but a blessing. I have never dealt with racism. I'm glad I didn't have to.
Starting point is 00:52:47 It is my reality. Not only did I thought it was over, I still believe it's over. But obviously, it is. I don't want to be bashed because I don't want to sound like I'm on the wrong, if there is a side. But when I look out and I come up off the stage of my show and I'm on tour in my stance or whatever, and I open my eyes and I see everybody my crowd has always been everybody thank god now clearly somebody at Nightline saw that and uh decided to you know ask Lil Wayne about BLM because they knew they was
Starting point is 00:53:18 gonna get exactly what they got which was maybe some ignorance on top of some arrogance, which translates into massive clickbait. Let's hear what Lil Wayne had to say on Nightline about the Black Lives Matter movement. What's your thought on Black Lives Matter? What is it? What do you mean? The idea is that there's this movement thinking that the rest of America didn't seem to understand that. Just sounds weird. I didn't know that you put a name on it.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Somebody got shot by policing for a reason i am a young black rich if that don't let you know that america understand black matter these days i don't know what it is that man white he filming me my life matter especially to my i feel connected to a damn thing ain't got nothing to do with me. First of all, let's acknowledge the fact that was hilarious, okay? And then he took off the mic and left. My life matters especially to my b****. Stop.
Starting point is 00:54:13 That's a bomb. Drop one of Clue's bombs for that line, man. Long as my b**** love me. I laughed so hard at that when I heard it last night. Now, Wayne is entitled to his opinion and we are entitled to tell him that he's wrong. I'm not even giving him donkey because I expect ducks to quack. When I expect things from certain people, I'm not surprised or shocked or upset when they give me what I expect. The reason Wayne is getting donkey is because this new stance he has taken in regards to black issues are particularly strange because he didn't always feel that way.
Starting point is 00:54:42 I can name quite a few records where Wayne has addressed police brutality and systemic racism. I mean, back in 2015, he talked about police brutality against black people on a record called My Heart Racist. Do we have a clip from that? Mm-hmm. Okay, addressing racism and police brutality. He said the police, you know, have already killed enough of us. Stay out them streets because they don't help with us.
Starting point is 00:55:14 They hunting us. We in a race against racists. That's a colorant. Now, if you never heard that one, you certainly heard Georgia. Georgia Bush. That record came out months after Katrina. Can we hear some of that? Now he's talking about police brutality again. And saying the white people are smiling like everything's cool.
Starting point is 00:55:53 While people he knows that are dying in the waters of, you know, Katrina. How you go from Nat Wayne to acting like you don't know racism exists. Those records sound very Black Lives Matter to me. Very aware. Okay. Those same issues you say don't affect you now definitely seem like they affected you then. What happened, King? What corporate connects are you trying hard not to offend?
Starting point is 00:56:15 What sponsorship are you trying not to lose again by doing this? Because it's not like you don't have a history of speaking out against these same injustices you claim don't exist now. And salute to Genius, the website, my guy Rob Markman, because I had a couple of these socially conscious Wayne records off the top of my head. But Genius put together a nice article back in September about Lil Wayne's socially conscious lyrics and even hit me to something I didn't know about.
Starting point is 00:56:38 One of them was on the Carter 3's Tie My Hands. Wayne raps about why black people don't vote. Can you hear it? They tried to tell me keep my eyes open. My whole city underwater. Some people still floating. And they wonder why black people still floating. Because your president's still choking. Take away the football team, the basketball team.
Starting point is 00:56:56 All we got is me to represent New Orleans. We got one more on Outkast's Hollywood divorce. We got that? Uh-huh. Okay. Next person that gets to interview Lil Wayne, because he would never come to the Breakfast Club, ask him about those records and those lyrics. play those records and those lyrics for him.
Starting point is 00:57:28 How has he made a complete 180 from being somewhat socially conscious and aware and speaking out against racism and police brutality to, you know, racism doesn't exist. And do you also remember in 2012 when Wayne said he wasn't going to Chesapeake Energy Arena anymore and OKC after a dispute over tickets. You remember Wayne couldn't get courtside seats and that I think Kevin Durant and James Harden offered him tickets, but Wayne said that's not the point. Do you remember him saying he felt unwanted there and race was a factor?
Starting point is 00:57:56 Remember when he told the Associated Press, it's the players stepping up, but of course the players aren't white. I don't want to be sitting there on behalf of you and I'm sitting next to a person that's like, I don't want this guy sitting next to me, but forget you. I'm on Forbes. My God, Lil Wayne must be a clone. Lil Wayne might be.
Starting point is 00:58:12 He might be a clone. How do your stances shift so dramatically? I don't care about, you know, Lil Wayne's stance on BLM or systemic racism or police brutality simply because what he says about these issues doesn't matter. Like I said in the beginning, I expect dogs to bark. I expect young M.A. to say, ooh. Stop saying that.
Starting point is 00:58:31 Sounds so crazy. So little Wayne saying ignorant things isn't a surprise to me, but the reason Wayne is getting this hee-haw is because of the contradictions, the hypocrisy, ladies and gentlemen. Kids, stay away from the scissor. That lean just makes you tired. And we know Lil Wayne loves to lean. And this is what happens when a woke person drinks too much lean and falls asleep.
Starting point is 00:58:52 Please give Lil Wayne the biggest hee-haw, please. Jeez. And I expect everybody who called out Floyd Mayweather for his All Lives Matter comments a couple weeks ago, and by everybody, I mean you, T.I. Yes, T.I. I expect you to publicly call out Lil Wayne for these statements, same way you did Floyd Mayweather Jr., same way you did Don King. This isn't one of those times where we're going to make excuses for the people we like,
Starting point is 00:59:18 and I don't expect anyone to be selective when it comes to chastising Lil Wayne for these comments, because these were worse than Floyd Mayweather's comments. I don't want to hear Lil Wayne was high, which he clearly was. I don't want to hear Lil Wayne is in his own world and doesn't know what's going on, like Toya said when she was here, because that excuse is a bunch of malarkey.
Starting point is 00:59:34 If you don't know what's going on, then it's better to remain silent and be thoughtful than to speak and remove all doubt. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Up next, Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you have a question for Yee, you need some relationship advice or any type of advice, you can call Yee right now.
Starting point is 00:59:52 800-585-1051. No judgment, by the way. No question. It's stupid. I wouldn't say that. But 800-585-1051. If you want to holler at Yee, call us now. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:00:03 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. That was Lean Back Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. All day we be out in the street.
Starting point is 01:00:20 They be like, Yee, help me. Yee, help me. I actually did an Ask Yee when I was in Birmingham, Alabama. Shout out to the young man who came over to ask me for some advice. We were staying at the A-Loft. Well, let's go to the phone lines.
Starting point is 01:00:32 Hello, who's this? Yo, what up, what up? This is A.T. What's up, bro? Why you sound so depressed, man? You sound really sad. Yeah, I am really sad, though. I'm busted this morning time.
Starting point is 01:00:41 Y'all too live up there, though. Hey, we live. What you want to say? I'm not going to be sad with you. Now, what's the problem? Let's see if we can fix you. Ha-ha. No, no.
Starting point is 01:00:49 Just the morning time, I'm actually getting up. But my question is, is it wrong for cutting my... She ain't my chick, but the girl I'm talking to, I had cut her off because she had promised me a couple of things, and she fell through with her promise. Like, what did she promise you? It doesn't really matter. A promise is a promise. It does matter. She promised
Starting point is 01:01:09 you she'll be there a certain time and she was running. I need to know how deep is that promise. Oh yeah, she is like that too, you know. So when I come back, you know, she's always late. You know, she always falls through whatever she's supposed to fall through with. I need to know what these promises were that was so important to you.
Starting point is 01:01:25 Hey. Threesome? Drugs? No, it ain't nothing like that. It ain't nothing like that. It's a simple thing, though. It's a simple thing. All right.
Starting point is 01:01:34 It's a simple thing. You know, I ain't big on, like, threesomes or nothing like that. Because we're not even a couple. It's just somebody that I talk to and I care about. But, like, I'm like, you know, she's like, I don't want to sound like a sap over the phone. care about, but like, I'm like, you know, she like, I don't want to sound like a sap over the phone, but she like, upset me, you know? What's she promise you, man? I don't understand.
Starting point is 01:01:53 First of all, I told you no judgment. You're not gonna sound like a sap. You'll be surprised. It is sounding like a little sap. It is sounding like a sap. Let me hear what it is, because if you're embarrassed about it, then maybe just let me know, and I'm not going to judge you. I'm going to give you my honest opinion. All right, okay.
Starting point is 01:02:08 No, it's okay. When you want to see somebody, you feel me? When you're chilling with somebody and kicking with it, you're not like, y'all go together. But, you know, I expect, you know, I expect the unexpected. I can't expect a relationship with somebody I don't want to see. She canceled on you a couple of times? Did she what? She canceled on you? No of times? Did she what?
Starting point is 01:02:25 She canceled on you? Nah, she don't ever cancel on me. It's just that I want her to do, I want her to be, I can't explain. I want her to be, like, in a relationship with me, but I'm, like, free. What? Okay, hold on. So you want her to act like you're her man, but you don't treat her like she's your girl? Nah, not really. I feel like I want us to be more you're her man, but you don't treat her like she's your girl? No, not really.
Starting point is 01:02:46 I feel like I want us to be more, but not that. You want her to spoil you and treat you great and do all of this stuff, but you don't do it for her. Because you don't want her to be your girl. You want to have your freedom, run around, do what you want to do. But you think that you can do it. But I don't do anything, though. That's the point. Here's my thing, okay?
Starting point is 01:03:04 You want somebody to act like your girlfriend, but not be your girlfriend. That's what you're saying. No, I don't do anything, though. That's the point. Here's my thing, okay? You want somebody to act like your girlfriend but not be your girlfriend. That's what you're saying. No, I don't want her as my girlfriend. That's what I'm saying, but you want her to act like it and do things that a girlfriend would do. I don't want her to act like it, number one,
Starting point is 01:03:16 but do things a girlfriend... I want her to hold me down, put it like that, like a simple friend. You feel me? Like what we agreed to be. Like, she don't want no relationship. She just stick, like, we on the same page as want no relationship. She just stick like we on the same page as relationship
Starting point is 01:03:27 wise. I just feel like I wanted like just do better. You feel me? Okay, so she's a little too casual for you. You guys have a casual relationship and she really is casual about it and it kind of hurts your feelings because you're not used to that. You're used to girls sweating you. Something like that. You're smart.
Starting point is 01:03:43 You're really smart, girl. You're smart. No, I get it because there's a lot of guys like that and probably the reason that you smart you really smart girl you smart nah I get it cause there's a lot of guys like that and probably the reason that you like her so much is cause she don't sweat you like
Starting point is 01:03:50 everybody else does it's kinda like a boomerang situation you done treated all these other girls crazy but they still was on you but this one girl
Starting point is 01:03:58 that you really kinda like but you don't wanna admit it she ain't treating you the way the other girls did and she going
Starting point is 01:04:03 about her business and you can't handle it I know I think her help ain't came crazy the way that other girls did and she going about her business and you can't handle it. I know. I think her help ain't came crazy. You know, she make war. I don't know, man. She just, you know, I need to be around, but she about to get cut off though. So you like her too much. That's
Starting point is 01:04:16 why you want to cut her off because she not acting how you want her to act, but you like her too much. I don't like that. So why don't you just admit it? See, the problem is that you trying too hard to be cool. You don't you just admit it? See, the problem is that you're trying too hard to be cool. You don't want to admit to it. No, that ain't really trying to be hard. I don't want to be in a relationship.
Starting point is 01:04:30 That's the point. You feel me? Okay. I just like to hold me down as we is. We cool. We chicken. Yeah. And you feel like you're acting like the woman in this situation.
Starting point is 01:04:42 Yo, you said you was going to do this. You didn't do it. You know? Yeah, you feel me? I feel like I'm like the woman in this situation. Yo, you said you was going to do this. You didn't do it. You know, you got... Yeah, you feel me? I feel like I'm being a sap woman because, you know, I ain't trying to run around with no chicken heads or nothing like that. I just want to... I'm going to give you this advice.
Starting point is 01:04:54 If y'all are having a casual relationship and that's what it is and you know she's not reliable, then that's what it is. If you want to deal with that, that's on you. You already know who she is and what she's going to act like. If you decide that's okay and to put up with it, then that's that. Now, if you feel like you want to take it a step further and you want her to step it up, that means you got to step it up too. Goodness gracious, you took all my energy away.
Starting point is 01:05:15 I'm sorry. He didn't want to admit what was the problem, but a lot of guys do things like that. They want to act like we're not in a relationship, but they want to be treated like they're the king. All right. It don't work that way. Ask Yee. 800--85-1051. You got a question for Yee. Call her now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 01:05:30 That was too good, Drake. Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. I apologize for that last Ask Yee. It took all my energy. I know. You know why? Because he was trying to be cool. He didn't want to just say exactly what it was
Starting point is 01:05:46 Which made it even worse And that's probably the problem he has with his girl He's not being up front about it And he's beating around the bush And trying to act like it's not this, it's not that But just say what it is You can't beat around the bush Alright, what line are we going to?
Starting point is 01:06:00 If you want to beat the bush Let's do call of five Hello, who's this? Hi, hello, hey, hey, Angela. What's your name, mama? How are you? This is Sophie from the Bronx. Hey, Sophie.
Starting point is 01:06:10 What's your question? So I'm calling today because, you know, my husband and I were very active in our son's life. We take him to school every day, and now my husband is a very charismatic, friendly man, and sometimes I feel like people misinterpret that, and there's a particular mom who we chit-chat with in the morning who kind of, I feel, is taking that friendliness a little too far. Oh.
Starting point is 01:06:33 Yeah, I think she went from, like, wearing flats to wearing heels the second she, I guess, kind of caught an interest or something. And then she kind of, like, shuns me out of the conversation. I don't know if it's because I'm Hispanic and she thinks that I have no idea what they interest or something. And then she kind of like shuns me out of the conversation. I don't know if it's because I'm Hispanic and she thinks that I have no idea what they're talking about. What? And yeah, you know, so I feel like she kind of leaves me out the conversation and holds the conversation with my husband
Starting point is 01:06:56 more than she does with me. I feel a certain type of way about it, obviously. And, you know, I talk to my husband about it, but he says that I'm overreacting. Well, you tell him if I'm uncomfortable with it, then I don't want you really talking to her no more. Just be cordial and keep it moving. That's all.
Starting point is 01:07:11 Okay, that's what I thought. And that's what he should do because it ain't even worth it. It's not worth it for you to get in an argument with your husband, but he should be sensitive to how you feel about the situation. It ain't like that's your good friend or he knows her really well or anything. Just keep it moving. I'm not comfortable with it. And if she does it again, you need to tell
Starting point is 01:07:26 her, listen, I don't know if there's an issue, but me and my husband are good over here, so it's making me a little uncomfortable how you're acting. But we don't even want it to come to that. He needed to just keep it moving so y'all don't have no problems. Okay, thank you. No problem. Good luck, Mama. Thanks.
Starting point is 01:07:42 Don't fight nobody. Ask Yee 805-85-1051. If you got a question for Yee, you can call at any time. Now, Yee, we got rumors coming up. Yes, let's talk Mariah Carey. We'll tell you why she asked for that $50 million. There's a reason behind it, by the way. It ain't just some random number.
Starting point is 01:07:57 Also, find out why Selena's family is so happy with Chris Brown. All right, we'll get into all that and more. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in.
Starting point is 01:08:12 All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Well, designer did something fun.
Starting point is 01:08:21 He actually freestyled over the Addams Family theme song. I don't know if you guys had a chance to hear it, if you're a big fan of Designer, but check it out. I got two acts. At the beginning, it was too fire. It sounded like it was going to be a trap. Yeah, yeah. Draw.
Starting point is 01:08:38 Draw. Oh. And now, if they take you up, hit woo-woo and fire truck. My boy, they come back and dunk. This is what happened. You can call for me. My mom been gone with the crew. That'd be crazy. That was incredible. That was definitely a freestyle. Drop on the clues bombs for designer.
Starting point is 01:09:01 He's just always happy. Remember when 50 Cent said Ja Rule sounded like the Cookie Monster? That's who Desiigner sounds like. He does sound like he's on Sesame Street. Ja Rule never sounded like the Cookie Monster. Desiigner sounds like the Cookie Monster. Desiigner definitely does. Somebody cut Desiigner a check.
Starting point is 01:09:14 Let him do a voiceover for Sesame Street, please. And you know how Envy sounds like Elmo? If you and Desiigner did something together, do your Elmo voice. Hello, guys. It's Elmo. Elmo's taking, though. There's nothing out there that sounds like Desiigner, damn it. All right, Mariah Carey.
Starting point is 01:09:31 We all were talking about that $50 million she wanted from James Packer after they broke up. And the reason why she wanted $50 million is because that's what she would have gotten if she had signed the prenup. They have an email chain of them going back and forth from Mariah Carey's team to James Packer's team. He wanted to get married March 1st, but he wanted her to sign the prenup and she hadn't signed it yet. So in the prenup, it was 100 pages long. So in those documents, it says if he gave her a piece of jewelry in order for her to be able to keep it, if they broke up, he had to have signed a note saying that it was a gift. So no matter what it was, if she doesn't have a signed note saying it was a gift, she would have to keep it if they broke up, he had to have signed a note saying that it was a gift. So no matter what it was,
Starting point is 01:10:05 if she doesn't have a signed note saying it was a gift, she would have to give it back. It also said that Mariah would get $50 million if they broke up, so that's why she's demanding that amount of money from him now. But by breakup, she means divorce, though, right? Right. This is the prenup, and he never got married. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 01:10:19 So that prenup's null and void because they never got married. Right. So according to this email chain, James Packer's lawyers were saying they couldn't get this prenup signed by March 1st and he was upset about it
Starting point is 01:10:29 because he really wanted to get married so that never happened. Whew, that's tough, boy. All the business you got to take care of before you get married. They didn't even get married
Starting point is 01:10:37 and there's still a lot of things. Marriage is definitely a business. It is a business. All right, Tyga, he started paying off some of the money he owes since we talking about money. He owes about $280,000
Starting point is 01:10:46 to this jeweler and he paid $100,000 so far. Now, we've been talking about this because remember he was questioned by an attorney over expenses and stuff that he bought for Kylie and he fell ill and had to leave during the questioning. Well, now he's at least started to make good on paying so he did pay
Starting point is 01:11:01 $100,000. Why not just get a jury back? You could do that, too. You got to floss that hard? Like, is flossing that important? But maybe he wouldn't get the same amount that he paid for it. Or maybe the jeweler don't want the jewelry bag. Yeah. Maybe he already done wore it, did all this, and they'll say, we'll give you this much
Starting point is 01:11:16 for it, and he's like, yeah. You got tiger sweat on it. Yeah. Once tiger sweat get on it, it depreciates with value. Or it might be custom. It might be custom. Tiger bone. It might be custom, something that he designed.
Starting point is 01:11:25 All right, Chris Brown's daughter. You guys saw her for Halloween dressed up as Selena. Well, people were really excited about it, in particular, Selena's family. Her brother said he was moved when he saw royalty dressed up for Halloween. He said, I think it's beautiful that of all the Disney characters, princess and superhero,
Starting point is 01:11:41 she picked my superhero. And he said about Chris Brown, you have an adorable daughter. I was moved when I saw Chris Brown's Halloween costume. That Deadpool outfit. Him and our guy Logic, Dre,
Starting point is 01:11:52 at 103.5 The Beat in Miami who runs the boys for the Breakfast Club. He had the Peter Parker, not Peter Parker, the Ultimate Spider-Man costume. Miles Morales. You walked out of here
