The Breakfast Club. everyone just kept telling the prep for this one word to describe the breakfast club would be black impacting the culture people watch the breakfast club for like news and really be tuned in man i don't even know what it's called the breakfast club it's like brunch envy ye and charlemagne wake that ass up get out of bed, and listen to The Breakfast Club. I'm waking up. Good morning, Angela Yee. Peace to the planet. Guess what day it is. Guess what day it is. Pump day. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

It feels very sparse in here today. What does sparse mean? Like people not here? Yeah. It does feel empty. It feels like somebody cleaned up in here and decluttered this situation or something. I don't know about that. It still looks a mess.

It does? It's just that there's a lot of people not here. Yeah, it feels... Where's Envy? He's running late. You didn't see the picture he sent? a lot of people not here. Yeah, it feels... Where's Envy? He's running late. You didn't see the picture he sent? No, he sent a picture? Yeah, he was on the highway.

A lot of people sent a picture to show you that they're running late. Like, we don't believe you. To prove that... We see that you're not here. Yeah, to prove that, you know, they're not just effing around. That's all. Oh, Route 3 is shut down, he said. I understand.

He did take a picture. Listen, how was your day yesterday? Let me save this in case I needed to say I'm running late somewhere one day. Hilarious. But you don't live in Jersey, so it wouldn't even make sense. You can't tell where it is.

Yes, you can. It's like a highway. How was your day yesterday? My day yesterday was pretty good. I went to a real estate, I guess it was a mix, and my real estate attorney, who I love,

he does a great job for me. He had a little mixer yesterday, so that was cool. Absolutely. Listen, nothing humbling like smelling the inside of your mask, especially the cloth mask. I want everybody out there, you know, if you feel like you need any humbling this morning, just smell the inside of your mask.

I'll wait until about noon and smell the inside of your mask. I don't believe you. It does. It smells like lotion. No, impossible. But the only time I have a mask, my mask that didn't smell good because I ate pizza and then I put the mask on and it smelled like pizza. Exactly. It smells like lotion. No, impossible. But the only time I have a mask, my mask that didn't smell good because I ate pizza. And then I put the mask on and it smelled like pizza. Exactly. It's unbelievable. You know what I mean?

It's a lot of us been walking around, you know, with not so fresh breath for years. You know, you may brush three times a day, but just make sure you keep your gum and your Tic Tacs and some mouthwash on you. Because, boy, we be needing them refreshers throughout the day Based off what these masks be smelling like Also please make sure you floss Definitely floss Flossing is the reason a lot of people If you don't floss it's how people get cavities There be some food stuck in between your teeth

Then it rots out your tooth then it decays So make sure you guys floss And I don't like when I'm speaking to someone and I can see they haven't flossed in a long time Go look in the mirror right now Look in between your teeth and see if you see white caked up stuff. That's right. And you can't be a chicken lover and not floss. I guarantee you them chicken shreds get between your teeth.

God damn it. Good morning, guys. Good morning. I see you had some traffic this morning. Two accidents on Route 3 which was crazy. Route 3 is the way I get to work. There was an overturned truck and then a bad accident. And this was the first morning when I was talking to my wife on the phone. She was up, so we were just having a conversation.

And I didn't put on Waze, so I just got stuck in that traffic. Because Waze is my traffic savior. And salute to everybody in other states who have no idea what the hell we're talking about. We're talking about Route 3. No, that's the way they get to work. That's the road I take to get to work. We're in the New York, New Jersey tri-state area. Yeah, that's the way I get to work.

So it's a lot of traffic. Let me shout out to everybody in Queens College. I DJ'd Queens College yesterday there. This is the first time students were back on campus, so they had like a big shindig on campus, and the funny thing about it, the first party I ever did was Queens College when I was a

teenager. I'm assuming Queens College is in Queens. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That was the first party I ever did, and I stank it up, whatever it was, when I was a teenager. I'm assuming Queens College is in Queens. Yeah. Okay. That was the first party I ever did and I stank it up whatever it was when I was a teenager. Some things don't change. Shut up. So Clue actually got me that party and I stank it up so I had to DJ yesterday so it was my redemption.

So shout to the students at Queens College. Had a good time. Queens College in Queens, New York. That's right. That's the place where Eddie Murphy and Simi were coming to America. That's right. That's the place where Eddie Murphy and Simi were coming to America. That's right, Queens. Looking for a queen

from Queens. Now, Isaiah Rashad will be joining us this morning. That's right. He's got an album out right now called... Is it an album

or just a project? I can't tell with these artists. I don't know. I call it an album. Okay. It's called The House is Burning. The body of work

is coming out today. It came out already. It came out last week. Out already. I think it came out before last actually. Yeah, it came out before that. And then we got front page news what we talking about. Whenever it's coming. It came out already. It came out last week. Out already. I think it came out before last actually. Yeah, it came out beforehand. And then we got front page news

what we talking about. It's so hot. It is hot in here, right? I'm not hot. Let's talk about COVID. US COVID cases among this group of people have served to one of the

highest rates of the pandemic and experts are warning it could get even worse. All right, we'll get into all that 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 some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, House Democrats on yesterday passed a voting rights bill that's named after John Lewis, the John Lewis voting rights bill. And so now that has to go on to the Senate where it's going to have a tough battle. But all the Republicans in the House voted against it. So it was 219 to 212. There's steep opposition in the Senate where Democrats hold a very small, small, thin majority. Now here is what Joe Biden has to say about the House passing the act. I also want to thank everyone who voted

to support the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. It's an act to restore and expand voting protections, to prevent voter suppression, and to secure the most sacred of American rights, the right to vote freely, the right to vote fairly, and the right to have your vote counted. The House is active. The Senate also has to join them to send this important bill to my desk. And the Senate has to move forward on the People's Act, critical legislation to protect our democracy and the right to vote. We need both of those election bills.

Yeah, I really don't even understand why they celebrate things like this because they know it's not going to pass through the Senate. Like, hope is not a political strategy, but it seems to be for Democrats. So let's hope the Senate passes it. Well, the legislation will require states with recent histories of discrimination to

get federal preclearance to change their voting laws. And in addition to that, you know, he also talked about other things that didn't pass before, like the For the People Act that split along party lines. So it was shorter the votes that were needed. But some of the things that would happen is would it expand access to the ballot box? It would create automatic voter registration across the country by registering eligible voters whenever you interact with government agencies. So that would also restore the voting rights of formerly incarcerated and expand early voting and modernizing the country's voting system, which we definitely need.

Yeah, let's hope Republicans in the Senate who clearly are for voter suppression support the bill that's against voter suppression. All right. Now, U.S. COVID cases among children have surged to one of the highest rates of the pandemics. And experts are warning that it may get even worse. So after a decline in early summer, they're saying these child cases have increased exponentially with more than a fourfold increase in the past month. Children ages 5 to 11 are the next group in line that will be eligible to receive the COVID vaccine, and an updated emergency use authorization from the FDA

would make at least 28 million additional children eligible to receive that vaccine, according to data. All right, that is your front page news. Yeah, that's still scary to me, though. It is. I also want to tell doctors, man, please update your consent forms. You know what I mean? A lot of folks went to get shots yesterday because, you know, the FDA approved the Pfizer vaccine.

And the COVID shot consent forms still say the vaccine isn't authorized by the FDA. So, doctors, I encourage you to please update your consent forms. Especially when you know people already have hesitancy towards the vaccine. You know, imagine going into a room and, you know, you think you're going to do a deal. But the contract doesn't say what you already negotiated. Right, absolutely. And they're saying the booster shot you get after eight months

or six months? Eight. Eight months. Okay, alright, so I gotta get mine in December. Alright, well that's front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset you need to vent, hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. 800-585-1051.

Hey, Tasha. Get it off your chest, mama. Okay, one, Friday I wanted to call. I want to spend healing energy with Charlamagne's. I'm giving him a booster shot with his healing energy for the lady that lost her husband. Word. She gave me life, and I wanted to praise my husband as well.

I love him. We've been together for 15 years. Well, we've known each other for 15 years. We've been through a bunch of stuff. We're still together. We have a two-year-old daughter, and I just wanted to put that out there. I actually told him this when I couldn't get on the radio Friday, so I told it to him, and I'm good.

That's love. That is love. I love it. And second thing I wanted to say was, this is New York City. Why the hell people like all their cars so goddamn bright? That's a new thing. I ain't going to say new thing. They've been doing it for like the last 15 years.

They got the highlights. That's because all these newcomers coming to New York City. This is the style of life. Oh, stop. Knock it off. You stop it, man. You can't blame it on out-of-towners. What's wrong with you?

What you mean? Why we can't blame it on the out-of-towners? Y'all gonna sit there and tell me Puerto Ricans ain't been having lights on their cars all these years in New York? They don't be driving the streets of New York with them brights on, though. Yes, they do. They got man lights, the P.I. lights, the under lights, all those lights. Yes, they do.

No, she's talking about the high beams, though. The high beams, not the regular lights. The regular lights is bright. The high beams. Some of these cars do that by themselves, though.

Yeah, they come on by themselves. Yeah, mine does that all the time. I be turning it off and it pop right back on. On your 1999 Cadillac Escalade? I don't have a Cadillac Escalade. What you have now? Charlemagne.

But I never thought about talking to you because you have a publishing company, right? I have a book in print called Black Privileged Publishing through Atria, Simon, and Schuster. Right, right. And I wanted to hit you on IG. I don't know if you check your messages, man, but I hit you up. I just wanted to get some literature from you. If you can, check that. And real briefly, I hit you too, Envy, about some DJ stuff, man.

It's kind of personal, so if you could check your IG, man, I hit you on that too, brother. Okay. I'll check it out, brother. That's interesting, too.

Why can't I trade 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. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan.

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 for 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 iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Gordon. How y'all doing? Good morning. What's up, Gordon? Get it off your chest, bro.

Hey, my past caught up with me. This weekend, I went on a date with this girl I met on Tinder. Started drinking. She started talking about her friend. She was graduating. She told me her friend's name, and I'm like, damn, I know her. Uh-oh. I kind of hooked up with her two, three years ago.

Why would you admit to that? Why? Because she asked me, listen, Charlamagne, I used to be married and got divorced. I said, from now on, I'm telling the truth because she was going to send my picture to her friend regardless. So she wouldn't hear the truth from me. Right.

You would rather you be straight up. That's how you start off a relationship, being honest. Yeah, but her friend might not even say nothing. Like, that's one of those things you tell if asked. Like, if she says, yo, did you hook up with my friend? Then even say nothing. Like, that's one of those things you tell if asked. Like, if she says, yo, did you hook up with my friend? Then you say something. But if you didn't mention it and she doesn't show the picture and then he never mentioned it and then she got to ask, that's weird.

Because I highly doubt her friend. Like, why didn't you say something? And then you're like, you didn't ask. Well, did you score? I did, but then it got awkward because the next time we were supposed to do it, she was, like, laying on top of me and started asking me, was she better? If she came here right now. That's your fault. Did you score? I did, but then it got awkward because the next time we were supposed to do it, she was laying on top of me and started asking me, was she better if she came here right now? That's your fault.

That's what you get for volunteering unnecessary information. That's your fault. Volunteering unnecessary information. I go to sleep well every night. I'm good. Yes, I encourage you to continue to be honest. All right, man. Be honest if somebody asks you.

That's just volunteering information. He figured it was going to get out anyway, so he might as well get ahead of it. And it probably wouldn't have. Why are you telling that woman business? Hello, who's this? Hey, guys. It's Sandra the Haitian therapist. Hey, Sac Passe. My boulet. Well, first I want to talk about

two things. One, the earthquake that happened. Horrible. Sometimes I feel like a little bit of privileged guilt because i'm doing well over here and no matter how much i give i feel like it's never going to be enough totally understand i want people to donate to this organization she built a hospital from the ground up you, for years I've been supporting. It's the CHS Foundation, so the underscore CHS underscore foundation. Okay.

And then the second thing is the whole Boosie and his gay agenda thing. Now, me and my colleagues be about 100 kids a month in the emergency room for being suicidal and depressed. And I can tell you not one of them talked about Lil Malek being one of the contributing factors to it. Right. And I wanted to know, like, what is it with the, you know, the gay designers out there for Saki, Valentino, Tom Ford, they don't have an agenda and rappers are always wearing

them and rapping about them. That's not an agenda. Of course't have an agenda and rappers are always wearing them and rapping about them. That's not an agenda. Of course they got an agenda. Their agenda is to get people to wear their clothes and buy their clothes. But it's not a gay agenda. Definitely not. The rappers rap about Versace and Tom Ford and Alexander McQueen and

Steve St. Laurent, Valentino, Michael Kors, all gay designers. And that's fine. That's out of the agenda. That's okay to wear the clothes. Right. They have no problem wearing the clothes and bashing you for not wearing the clothes. Now, I will say now, if Versace came out with a jacket that had a d*** on the back,

they would complain about that. I think if the d*** was in Swarovski crystals. They would wear that. You're right. Would you wear a designer with a penis on the back? Depends what it meant. Depends what it meant. What you mean?

What if it said, that's my SMD racist. SMD to all bigots. It just depends on what it meant. So you would wear a penis like on a hat on your head or something? It depends what it meant. Symbolism is important. Depends what the messaging is. You gotta be exclusive and then everybody's gonna want it.

If they say we'll make only five of these a year, everybody will wear it. You're right. Everybody will want it. All right. Well, thank you. Thank you, Sandra. Bye. All right.

I'm gonna make you one, bro. Make sure. It depends on your back or your forehead. It would have to have the right symbolism. I got you. That's all. I got you. What does it represent? All right.

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now, yeah, we got rumors on the way? Yes. Megan Thee Stallion having some more issues with her label and releasing music. We'll tell you what happened and how it got cleared up. All right. We'll get into that next.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. So Megan Thee Stallion was planning to release a remix of BTS's Butter that was supposed to come out on Friday, but in a new court filing, she says her record label is preventing that song from being released. According to these documents that were filed yesterday, she submitted a petition against her label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, and its CEO, Karl Crawford, she says they're preventing her from releasing the song.

And so if she's not allowed to do that, she said it's going to hurt her on an international level. But now the judge has cleared for her to release that. So she's back to getting everybody ready for her song with BTS. I don't know the ins and outs of her deal, but I don't understand why they would block music from coming out. I mean, if the record streams and it does well, don't they get paid as well? Yeah, I believe it was something that he said that he didn't feel like it would be good for her image. It would do irreparable damage to her career. The label's not really involved anymore.

Right now, it's just a piece of paper. Her career is doing well. She let her do her thing. And, you know, she actually sued them last year for preventing her from releasing her EP Sugar. And she got a temporary restraining order. And she's still under contract, though. Seems a little spiteful now. She also says that they're preventing her from releasing that, and it violates the rules that were outlined in last year's temporary restraining order.

They can't prevent her from releasing music. Now, Carl Crawford wrote, even when I lose, I still win. Don't let that go over your head. And can a label do that just because they don't like the record? Because I read that they just don't like the record, and they don't think it's a good look for her. But it's not that choice. They're not really in her career like that anymore. She don't like the record? Because I read that they just don't like the record and they don't think it's a good look for her. But it's not that choice. They're not really in her career like that anymore. She don't F with the label.

I mean, it's clearly her choice if they got some paperwork that says otherwise. Well, they cleared it, though. They let it go out. But they get paid regardless. So like what he said, yeah, when he loses, he wins. Yeah, because if the record streams well, they're still going to get paid.

But let her be her. Let her do her career. She's doing a great job at doing it. And how can you pick and choose what may or may not work for an artist? Because it may be a record you don't like and you think it's not a good look, but it might blow up and be a great look for her.

It's just music. And if it doesn't work, you know what? Put out another record. Well, it feels like it's personal. Yeah. That's really what it is. All right, now Chloe from Chloe and Halle is going to make her solo debut on the VMA stage.

So it's cute because the two of them, Chloe and Halle, have been together so much. But as of late, we see they've both been doing their own thing. And so now she has a solo album coming as well. They did reveal that she'll be performing individually. And, yeah, there you go. Chloe the one that be dancing on the gram, right?

Mm-hmm. Okay. They both dance on the gram. The one that did the Bust It Challenge and then everybody went crazy. I think they both did. She's the older one, though, right? Yeah, she's the older one. The older one.

So I love it, though. I love that when I was interviewing both of them, they were in different places and they were like about to cry from not being around each other because they're so used to being together.

What happened to that damn live-action Little Mermaid movie that one of them was supposed to be starring in? Yeah, that was Halle, but she did it. She was posting pictures

and everything, so maybe we just haven't seen it yet. She's been working on it. I don't know. All right, now Quavo and Sweetie, some people are saying

they're back together and there's rumors that they've been spending some quality time together. They broke up about five months ago. It was very public. Neither one of them

have confirmed this, but people are saying that it looks like they're spending some quiet time. So maybe the two of them are back together.

You never know. And Busta Rhymes has been criticized over this anti-mask rant that has resurfaced. It was comments that he made back in June,

June 19th. He said it was his second show in front of human life in the last 15 months. And here's what else. He said it was his second show in front of human life in the last 15 months. And here's what else he said. This is my second show in front of human life in the last 15 f***ing months.

COVID could suck a d***. All these little weird-ass government policies and mandates suck a d***. Stop trying to take our civil liberties away. No human being is supposed to tell you you can't even breathe freely. F*** your mask. I come from a time where before I used to even want to holler at a chick, I used to have to do s*** with my face to let her know that I'm into her. All of that energy gets blocked when your mask is on.

Why did that go viral yesterday? I don't know. Everybody be talking about agendas being pushed. That was clearly weaponized for something yesterday. Why? I don't know. You know how things resurface on social media and then it just goes viral? Well, that was one of those things.

Listen, everybody's entitled to their opinion, but we got to be self-aware enough to know when our opinion could be dangerous. When it comes to masks or vaccines or mandates, whatever it is, we simply don't know. We know there's a disease out there. People are absolutely getting the disease. People are dying from the disease, and to tell people not to protect themselves from said disease is

socially irresponsible. And what I would ask Buster is, what's the other option? If he's saying F-mask, then what? Just be out here raw-dogging air, potentially getting sick? Yeah, that's it. No, that's not the way. By the way, if he feels that way, cool, but that's his thing.

Don't tell other people. Don't wear a mask. But I also, you know, I don't agree with what Buster says, but, you know, dealing with the CDC and everything they say is kind of difficult because they say something different every time. I don't care about the CDC. Remember when they said double mask up one time? Is your country falling apart?

Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.

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

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. I do remember. I remember when they said don't wear a mask.

But guess what? I don't care about the CDC. My thing is we know that it's something out there. So we have to protect ourselves against it in some way, shape, or form. So if it's not mask, what is it? If it's not staying home socially, you know, what is it? That's what I would want to know. Just don't breathe.

I mean. All right. what is it? That's what I would want to know. Just don't breathe. Alright, now Stephen A. Smith, he is going to be having rotating guests as his host on ESPN's First Take as Max Hellerman is leaving. He's going to be doing actually a larger radio role and so now we'll get to see how that goes.

So First Takes, they have not detailed the changes that are going to be made but they said the new format is expected to feature Save the co-host and that will be revealed soon. So we'll be able to see that. I like Max on first take, but I have no problem with the revolving co-host because I do like to see Stephen A. Smith debating

against different people every day. I do. Stephen A. Smith is dope already. I did radio with Stephen probably about 15, 16 years ago. Stephen A. Smith is a dope talent, period. He's a beast. And he's dope. And he also just guest hosted Jimmy Kimmel Live. And so that's one of the many people that have been stepping in as a substitute during Kimmel's summer sabbatical.

Yeah, he has his own show. He was able to talk about everything. Well, he actually right now does interview people that are not even in the world of sports as well. Yeah, I was on that show. That's on ESPN Plus. ESPN Plus, yeah. Looks like he's gearing up for his own talk show at some point, like a late night show.

And now he does have four years left on his five-year, $60 million contract with ESPN. But you can see what that ultimate goal is. And they're saying that he did want Max Kellerman off first take for years. It wasn't personal, according to sources. They said Max Kellerman has a smartest guy in the room attitude, and Smith wanted more of a debating challenger. Wait a minute. Stephen A. Smith don't have a smartest guy in the room attitude and Smith wanted more of a debating challenger. Wait a minute, Stephen A. Smith don't have a smartest guy in the room attitude?

You have to have that to be on those type of shows, don't you? You got to go in there with confidence and absolutely make people believe you know what you're talking about. And they do. It's not like Max and Stephen don't know what they be talking about. All right, well, that is your rumor report. All right. Now we got front page news next.

What are we talking about? Yes, let's talk about Afghanistan. And Joe Biden says we are going to keep this deadline. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on in. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

What up, y'all? It's DJ Envy. Now, Samsung is blowing people's minds right now. The new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G literally unfolds into a tablet. And the new Z Flip 3 5G folds to fit in the palm of your hand. Insane. Pre-order yours now at Samsung.com. Hey, morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Nobody says good morning back anymore. Good morning. All right, well, let's get some front page Breakfast Club. Good morning. Nobody says good morning back anymore. Good morning. All right, well, let's get some front page news then. What we saw, Nhi?

All right, well, Joe Biden was speaking at the White House and he was talking about the mission in Afghanistan and he said it will depend largely on cooperation from the Taliban. He said he's asked military leaders to be ready with contingency options to adjust that August 31st deadline if it becomes necessary. Here's what he had to say about withdrawing by that date. We are currently on a pace to finish by August the 31st. The sooner we can finish, the better. Each day of operations brings added risk to our troops.

But the completion by August 31st depends upon the Taliban continuing to cooperate and allow access to the airport for those who were transporting out. In addition, I've asked the Pentagon and the State Department for contingency plans to adjust the timetable should that become necessary. Now, the Taliban also said they would not allow Afghans to leave the country and warned that the U.S. has to stick to that exit deadline. In the meantime, an estimated 5,000 people are waiting for evacuation flights inside the airport, and the vast majority of them are Afghans. Yeah, I saw that.

I saw what the Taliban said. If they're not out by August 31st, they was going to bring some smoke. It's like when your mom said you better have this room clean by the time I get back. All right. There are still a lot of, it's a dangerous place to be. And here's what Joe Biden had to say about ISIS-K. I'm also mindful of the increasing risks. They're real.

The longer we stay, starting with the acute and growing risk of an attack by a terrorist group known as ISIS-K, an ISIS affiliate in Afghanistan, which is a sworn enemy of the Taliban as well. Every day we're on the ground is another day we know that ISIS-K is seeking to target the airport and attack both U.S. and allied forces and innocent civilians. ISIS-K, they got to start giving these people more gangster names. ISIS-K sound like an American girl, though. It doesn't sound like the name of an American girl, though.

ISIS-K, like, no, you got to start giving these people more gangster names. Like what? What kind of name would you use? I don't know, but something other than ISIS-K. No, you got to start giving these people more gangster names. Like what? What kind of name would you have? I don't know, but something other than ISIS-K. ISIS already is scary. That's what I'm saying. Put something evil at the end of ISIS, not a K. Like what? Every guest begins with K, don't they?

It's a very serious situation. If we show up for ISIS killers. Oh, see? Now you're talking. See? Now, K-I-L-L-A-Z, now you're talking. All right, now the CEO of OnlyFans is saying this site would absolutely allow porn again if the banks agree to pay creators. So right now they said they're at the mercy of banks that refuse to do business with them.

And the founder and chief executive Tim Stokely placed the blame for that move to ban sexually explicit content as of October 1st on some of those major banks. He did an interview with the Financial Times. He said the change in policy, we had no choice. The short answer is banks. And he also said that they will cite reputational risk and refuse our business. So OnlyFans, again, October 1st, that's it. They have to ban porn after that,

but they will still allow creators to share photos and videos that contain nudity. But again, no more porn. Why do I need OnlyFans for porn? Because you can actually speak to people. Get your favorite person that you like. So you can get your Instagram model. And then you can have them send you whatever dude you want to check out.

You can go to his page and actually log in and see whatever he does. Yeah, but they're not doing as much as what's happening on Pornhub. Yeah, but they can also send you private videos. You can request things that no one else has. They can do personalized videos. So if there's one person I like... It's kind of like Cameo. Okay, so if there's one person I like

on OnlyFans, I can engage with that person. Right now, you're infatuated with Morris Chestnut, right? So Morris Chestnut has OnlyFans. You can pay, you can subscribe, and you can hit him and say hey, can you send me a picture of your bald head? I'm not infatuated with Morris Chestnut. Morris Chestnut has an OnlyFans. You could pay, you could subscribe, and you could hit him and say, hey, can you send me a picture of your bald head? I'm not infatuated with Morris Chestnut. Morris Chestnut is always hitting me, telling me how much people mistake him for me.

That's a damn lie. I don't have to lie. Do I scratch you as the type to just tell a lie like that on the radio? Why would I do that? Show us the messages. I would never do that. I don't have to share these things. Okay, he actually said that when he came to the Breakfast Club one time, but y'all act like y'all didn't hear that. We would never do that. I'm not. I don't have to share these things. Okay, he actually said that when he came to the Breakfast Club one time,

but y'all act like y'all didn't hear that. We didn't hear that. Of course you didn't. No, we didn't. Play the audio. I will. Get the audio, Dan. Morris Nutshell.

No, play when Joe said it. Joe said it. Joe never said that. R.V. Singer Joe. Oh, R.V. Singer Joe. No, he never said that. All right, well, when it comes to OnlyFans, by the way, it was founded in 2016.

They said they have more than 130 million registered users and over 2 million creators. According to the owner, he said, we pay over 1 million creators over 300 million dollars every month and making sure that these funds get to creators involves using the banking sector. And because several banks have cut off OnlyFans from making wire transfers, that has made it difficult to pay creators. You know, it's just so crazy that I get shamed because Morris Chestnut looks like me. It's not like you.

And if it's my fault, God put both of us on the same conveyor belt at the same time. You don't look like me. This is just disrespectful. For people who actually like Morris Chestnut, they're like, do not insult that man. It's just disrespectful.

It's not my fault. Okay? All right, well, that is your front. He created this greatness. Bro, you don't look nothing like him. No, he looks like me. No, he doesn't. Okay? Blame God. He created this greatness. No, he looks like me. No, he doesn't. Y'all don't look nothing alike. Who's more handsome to you, MB? That's a great question.

Morris Chestnut. I don't believe you. I don't believe that. You like the bootleg version. Oh, so what you're saying I do look like a version is what you're saying. You're saying it's more like a lower grade. You're saying I do look like a virgin is what you're saying. He might be You're saying it's more like a lower grade You're saying I do look like a virgin. No.

No. You can go on Canal Street and get a fake Louis bag that It still looks like a Louis bag. Yeah. It's still a Louis bag.

The fact that you can see it and say that's a fake Louis bag that means it looks like a Louis bag. So if you look at me and say that's a fake Louis bag. That means it looks like a Louis bag. So if you look at me and say, that's a fake Morris chestnut, you're still saying that guy looks like Morris chestnut. But he actually looks like me.

All right. Let's move on from this. All right. When we come back. We agree to disagree. TDE's own Isaiah Rashad will be joining us. So we're going to kick it with him when we come back. You don't look nothing like him.

He's tall, dark, and handsome, and you're short. Dark and handsome. Say it! Nigga, say it! No, Isaiah Rashad when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got special guests in the building. Yes, indeed. Isaiah Rashad, welcome back. Hello, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got special guests in the building. Yes, indeed. Isaiah Rashad, welcome back. Hello, hello. How you doing, my brother? I can't call it. Everything's good.

I'm asking genuinely, how are you? Oh, everything's good. Everything good? Okay. The house is burning. Healthy. There you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah, figuratively. So the house is burning. What do you do? Do you get your things? Do you try to save everybody?

Do you get out and build a new house? I mean, I think that's up to the is burning. What do you do? Do you get your things? Do you try to save everybody? Do you get out and build a new house? I mean, I think that's up to the person individually. What do you do? What I do, I pack up and leave. I ain't afraid of change. You wasn't talking about your real house. No, no, no, no, no. Jesus Christ.

My homies know. The homie know. Actually, it was crazy. He just asked you if that's your real house. No, no, no. He just said, what are you doing? Your house is burning. Nah, oddly enough, my homie,

the homie who did the title track, his house did burn down like two days later. Wow. So it's your fault. Nah. It's power in the tongue, Isaiah. It is power in the tongue, but it's more so, you know what I'm saying,

prayers to him. Absolutely. I don't even know. How do you think the house is burning is being received? It seemed to be received pretty well. Mm-hmm. Everybody seems to like it.

What you think about it? I f*** know what i mean yeah even though you know you named the first song after a whack-ass dc villain i mean conceptually it's uh it's pretty good man you gotta you gotta read the uh mr miracle comic the new one it came out like probably like 2018 tom king i don't like dc man it's more so about the for the author man don't worry about the company. Okay. How was doing everything during this pandemic? How was that?

It was kind of regular for me. I learned a lot about Instacart. A lot of comics. Yeah, that was really it. I kicked it with my kids, kicked it with my family. I used to be beating myself for the most part, so it was refreshing. What did you figure out during the pandemic about yourself? I learned how to have fun with myself.

Because getting signed when I was like 21, and at that time it seemed like such a big deal. And I felt like I had shoes to fill and stuff. Around this time in my life, I realized I had my own shoes. I was creating, not filling anybody else's steps and stuff. That's how I felt even listening to the project. Because when I first heard you back in the day, I was like, you sound kind of similar to Kendrick a little bit, but now I feel like, yo,

he clearly has found his own identity. It was important to do that, but it took time. It made me realize more than anything because I'm 30 now. You're like,

damn. Man, trying to have, you feel me trying to have it figured, I thought I had it figured out for a long time at 21. I thought I had it figured out at 25.

I'm realizing right now, I'm ignorant. Wait till you get to our age. I can't wait, dude. Bruh, because you know what's so crazy? I felt the same way when I started going to therapy and doing different work on myself, and it's just like you realize you don't know shit.

And unlearning all of the things that you learned throughout your life. Trauma. It's scary, but I like waking up every day as a blank canvas. Yeah. You know? I can identify with that. And you've been really honest about going through a lot of things these past few years. So how are you feeling now?

I mean, it's an everyday process. It ain't perfect. You know what I mean? But I don't take it as anything. When they asked me what was going on in my life, it was either I was going to come up with some type of fraudulent shit. I'm going to tell them, like, this is what's going on. People can relate to it. I was more so for like, I was afraid of people

thinking it was redundant because I'm like, this kind of sounds like what I said I was going through before. But in reality, I was still, I never stopped going through all this type of shit. Like, I got therapies now. I do therapies and shit. I do the CBT. Oh, cognitive behavior therapy. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. That type of shit. What is that?

It's teaching yourself to be your own therapist to an extent. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That type of. What is that? It's teaching yourself to be your own therapist to an extent. I'm not a professional, but it's definitely just practicing every day. And it helps you a lot? It helps when you remind yourself to do it. How difficult was it to start talking to a therapist? It ain't never been that difficult for me. I think for other people it might be.

I just couldn't afford it. I don't ever have a problem coming in and talking to people. Even coming up to places like this, it'd be more about me not saying s*** than saying s***. You feel me? So always, like, I've been talking to it the past couple years. I went to rehab. That was cool. And you find different types of people who do different types of things and everything.

And I don't really need to talk to somebody just to constantly divulge about stuff that's going on. I really just need to get out, make sure I don't have nothing pent up going on. That's interesting, because you a rapper. You know what I mean? So you all right already, so it's a release. I don't like trashing nobody. Because if I make a song and it's about this, this, and that,

and then they hear it. True, true. And it's like a, let's put it out. Open the camera. But then it's like, let's put it out. Open the camera. But then it's like, now I'm trashing my baby moms or something. I'm talking about my dad

or some shit. It was really just personal stuff. And that's also where I tried to get back into poetry and stuff. What's your baby mom attitude? Which one? Oh, I don't know.

How many you got, raw dog Rashad? I got like three. Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo! How old are your kids? One, six, and eight. But this pandemic was, dog Rashad I got like three how old are your kids? one six and eight but this pandemic was

I mean you was you was a teacher too because they had to do classes I mean why you going low in the chair man why you going low in the chair

I mean I was I'm not a professional okay so when it comes to financially being able to take care of it I think people think you sign a deal all of a sudden Isaiah Rashad is rich. No, you sign a deal, and then your mom reminds you of every meal that she ever fed you. You might have student loans.

Then you don't even do that. You go buy a laptop, and you go buy all this other stuff. And that's just your advance. You don't even know what to do with the money. And then you jack it off on, you know what I'm saying, Ubers and stuff. And that's when you're 21.

When you're 25, you want to get a crib, and you don't need a crib. And you got all your homies with you, and you got the kid with you, and you got all that. And you jack it off doing, getting an apartment.

You got a nice apartment, and now you drinking and stuff, doing all this other stuff. You going out, you eat more excessively and you don't pay your taxes You learned a lot, huh? That was 25, I mean this is cool. I'm straight right now. You good now?

When they knock on that door don't you hate getting them letters in the mail? I don't get them letters in the mail. I'm good. Before, I mean. Before I ain't answer them letters in the mail? I don't get them letters in the mail. I'm good. Before, I mean. Before, I ain't answer them letters in the mail. I waited so I could handle them mails. What's the most you owe in taxes that you don't want to devote to them? I don't even.

We just paid it and just let it be what it is. It ain't got nothing to do with me. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So how did you get more financially responsible? Initially, I found somebody I could really trust who had invested in me, and I put my money up,

and I didn't touch it at all. You on child support? No, for what? What type of... Do y'all... Do people have bad relationships with their kids' moms that much? I'm married, so I don't know.

I fold. I fold. I fold. I was wrong probably half their relationship. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I fold. I fold. I was wrong probably half their relationship. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I fold. Just fold, dude.

Fold, keep it pushing. What you say folding, I call it submitting. We always say that. I ain't submitting. No, I submit. Submit to my wife when it comes to it. That's what I'm saying. Submit to you. I'm married, so yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm folding. I'm folding to my moms. Anybody who got the right to, I'm folding. I'm folding to my moms. Submitting. My grandma folding. It's like, no. yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm folding. I'm folding to my mom's. Anybody who got the right to, I'm folding. I'm folding to my mom's. Submitting. My grandma folding. It's like, no. Yeah, yeah, submitting.

We not even, we ain't gonna argue about it. It's like, how much do I owe you? You got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, but those are the queens that raised us. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Those are the CEOs of our lives.

And the ones who raised my kids, too. All this standing in the studio, all this type of stuff. People be acting like, you don't owe your baby moms. You don't owe your kids moms. Yeah, right. You owe them a lot. A lot. All right, we got more with Isaiah Rashad.

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 still kicking it with TDE's own Isaiah Rashad. Charlamagne?

I saw you tell GQ that a lot of your favorite songs didn't even make House is Burning. Is it all singy, jazzy, or like some like 70s soul shit? I do a lot of that type of singing. Because I mean,

when I be listening to myself, I got like type of voice to me that's like not ugly enough to not sound good. Autotune it. No, like without autotune. You know like how some,

like James Brown didn't have like the greatest sounding voice compared to others. But it was like neat. Yeah. It'd be on some of that type of shit, but not to others. But it was like, you know. It'd be on some of that type of shit, but not like that type of shit. Got you, got you.

You like to experiment with singing, like score. Yeah, I mean, I started off singing. And the rappers I like listening to growing up aren't necessarily like how you would categorize my shit. Like, Master P, you ain't really throwing me along that line. Right. That's some type of shit. But that's the type of shit I like listening to.

I like listening to real, simple, ignorant shit. Just the expectation of a rap rival when you're respected as like almost a lyrical miracle almost a lyrical miracle like you like pimp csl you did a long time he's like sometimes he's like almost a lyrical miracle he has some times where he's almost pimp c be snapping i was listening to that was i listening to yesterday was it Woodgrain when he said I'm a conservative liberal see snappin' is like almost a lyrical miracle cause f*** is be snappin' f*** is be snappin'

but f*** is gonna be like trying to hit you with six haikus and a triple entendres so who fits in the lyrical miracle category to you? Lupe

yes absolutely Kendrick absolutely Kendrick sometimes he'd be snapping sometimes he'd be snapping so much like wayne be snapping but he'd be snapping so hard that you think that it's like the delivery on top of the wordplay sound like a lyrical miracle but then it really just be snapped i gotta give kendrick a lyrical miracle it's kind of disrespectful sometimes depending on what it is because it it's like, he makes some simple s*** sound super complicated.

Give me an example. I don't know. Most of them. To me, I'm a rapper. I be digging like that. Like, his s*** is like, he be snapping. Man.

That's why he be on so many different type of grounds of s***. Because some s*** can't snap. They can only lyrical miracle. That's why Kendrick got to drop his album, because he's getting disrespected by Isaiah Rashad. Oh my God. What are you talking about? You just said Kendrick ain't a lyrical miracle.

I mean, no, he's a... He's simple. No, no, he's... No, he's a... He snaps. He's trying to walk you down this lane. No, I... I look at Kendrick as top tier.

Like, Kendrick to me is like... Does a lyrical miracle make you a top tier? A top tier? Yeah. Top tier rapper. I'm talking about snapping. Like, can Lupe get on Walk It Out? What's the difference between snapping and...

You think Lupe can snap on Nuck if you buck? And you want to listen to it? No disrespect. I don't... But God might hop on Nuck if you buck and like... Yeah, I get what you're saying. You feel me? See, I don't know if Lupe can do that,

but I think when you're that good of an MC, I think you could. He can, but he gonna hit in a different way. That snap gonna be different. If you're that good of an MC, you can snap on anything. Dude, I'm gonna tell you the reason I feel him. Like, you look at... I feel him because of Jay-Z High remix. But he gone he gonna hit in a different way that snap gonna be I'm gonna Jay-z hi remix even though I like that verse and by Jay-z stands But there's been many Jay-z has ripped same thing with biggie same thing with k dot but juvie might not be able to rip song cry correct you know what i get what you're saying i totally understand what you're

saying biggie was one of them who do everything oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah absolutely she's snapping you know some simple like you know some simple yeah but he i'm saying like he'd be both they do what you're saying let's say twister tw I'm saying Like he'd be both You know what I'm saying What about Twista Let's say Twista Twista would be snapping He'd be snapping so much That it sound like

Sound super complicated But he'd be saying Like a whole bunch Of little words And it'd be so many syllables And sometimes It'd be a whole bunch It feels like you've had

This conversation I've been studying These bitches I was like seven So I'd be knowing What they'd be doing There's no disrespect to them. No, I get what you're saying.

It's a very interesting conversation. What about Drake? Last one. What about Drake? Because he'll get on. He'll be snapping. I wouldn't call him a lyrical miracle. I'd say he'd be snapping.

Yeah, he'd be snapping. I get what you're saying. That'd get on the other side of that s**t too. Pump Butterfly, he was on that. That's right. But on Damn, he was snapping. I thought he did that on purpose just to show he could snap. Like, I can make these kind of records if you need me to.

He was snapping on, like, what's his name? Good Kid. Dumb. Ay, ay, ay, ay. The Freestyle. MC8? Oh, the Freestyle. Yeah, the Freestyle.

He was snapping. Backseat Freestyle, he was f***ing snapping. Rick Amortis. Rick Amortis, he's damn near snapping. It just sounds like a lyrical miracle, but he's snappin'. Lemon Pepper Freestyle, I gotta bring it back one more time. Lemon Pepper Freestyle, Ross and Drake. He wasn't snappin'.

He was lyrical? All right, let me stop. Snappin'. Snappin' ain't a diss, though. You said snappin' is like right under lyrical miracle. No, it's not under. It's like a difference between a point guard and a shooting guard. It's not like a once better than

others a difference don't have to do it lyrics it has to do it what you're doing on a chair got you told not content at all got you got you got you got makes perfect sense cuz you said Wayne's that makes perfect sense yeah way be snapping like Wayne doesn't there's not a beat Wayne can't you know I can't get off this oh yeah snap on everything yeah, yeah. Snap on everything. Yeah. Has that added pressure on you as an artist now that K-Dot is moving on from TD? I found that out after I said I was dissing him on the internet the other day.

So you stayed dissing. This ain't the first time in his birthday. I wasn't doing anything. No, I wasn't doing anything. What did you say that they thought it was this? I said I was on the way to my kid's birthday party. And me and her mom had had a little verbal whatever. And I know that I can't say anything I really want to say,

so I said it on Twitter for a second, and I'm forgetting that this is watching me. So I swiped and I deleted it. Not about them or anything, but I'm like, damn, this is kind of mean. She's actually going to see this. What did you say? I said, you're embarrassing us.

You're emotional. You're embarrassing us. He thought it was about getting married are at a point in our relationship that now when we do stuff people look at us yeah yeah it's not like zay surey it's like y'all and i'm like now i'm embarrassed and then then that then i then i saw that i got back online and i was like what are they talking about and i was like damn then i looked at that looked at tops post and i was like damn what's going on today the house is burning I get it that's hilarious bro No Did I feel weird? I was like these things I was doing it. I asked Matt he was like I think they think you did stuff

People act like artists can't walk away from a situation amicably. He probably fulfilled his contract, I'm sure. What the f*** they gotta do with me?

I get it. It's all TDE. It's all TDE. I know. F*** it, I know it's business and it's family. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I can't apologize for something I didn't do. I took it down because I don't want heat at home. Not because I don't want

Mm-hmm. Listen, y'all. I got my coffee shop opening on Friday, so there's a lot going on right now. It's Friday I know I don't think it's going to be fully ready But we'll be able to start A soft opening

Yeah Soft launch It's a soft launch Will you have coffee? Yes That's all that's important That's it Yeah you know

But you still want it to be right But I guess This is how you kind of When you open a brick and mortar location You kind of learn how to iron out the kinks Yeah and you just have to deal with A hurricane that damn near hit New York City, so. You know, it's not open yet. I know, but

you had to prepare all week, right? Oh, yeah. I mean, they've been working until like 4 in the morning, so I want to shout out to Layden and his whole team that have been in there nonstop trying to make it happen for us. Well, congratulations. That's good problems to have. Yeah. Definitely good problems to have. It'd be, as you would say,

stressful. Stressful. Stressful. Stressful in these streets. But Angela, your day is on Saturday. I really wanted it to be open in time for that, so that's why I was really trying to push this deadline. You got this. All right.

And if you don't, everything in God's time. Yeah, no, it is. I'm not, you know, you just want something. And so if it can't happen the way I, that's fine. You know, it'll happen. Absolutely. And listen, salute the't happen like the way I, that's fine. You know, it'll happen. Absolutely. And listen,

salute the Anita Kopach too, man. Make sure y'all go grab a copy of Shallow Waters. Available everywhere you buy books now. That is the second release off my book imprint,

Black Privilege Publishing. Yes, indeed. We'll probably do some book clubs and stuff in there too. It's a nice space in the coffee shop. Coffee shops are the

best place to do that. Go really together yeah that's what mark mark uh mark lamont hill got one in philly i actually hit mark lamont hill up because i was like i want to send you some coffee so because i know he's a big fan of coffee uncle uncle bobby's in philly but we got rumors on the way what we talk about kanye west is changing his name legally. He kind of wants to be like me. Really? Yeah, because I'll tell you why. All right. We'll get to that next.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. So Kanye West has filed legal documents in L.A. He wants to change his name to Ye. From Kanye Omari West to just simply Ye. So that's just Y-E.

What's wrong with, you know, just Ye being a nickname? Like, why do I got to go to home? I like the name Kanye. I feel like he should keep that. Kanye is hard. Yeah. We only know one Kanye. And by the way, we've only known one Kanye before there was a Kanye.

And he wants to also get rid of the West part, too. He just wants it to be just yay. I'm not mad at that, though. Maybe he should just do a symbol. Is his mama name Kanye? I figured he'd like his name. Yeah, that's true, too. That could be part of the reason he wants to change it.

It might be traumatic in a way. You know what I mean? No, I don't. So we'll see if the judge does sign off on all of this. Yay. I mean, he's still going to be called Kanye, though. Whatever. To each his own.

Why do we care? You call him Kanye, he won't answer to you. It'd be one of those. Why do we care? God bless him. If he wants to do that, that's on him. Why do we care? We're still calling him Kanye.

Did he change his name to Brother Love? I don't know. I don't think he did it legally, did he? No. His name is Sean. Somebody check on that. His name is Sean. Mr. Combs.

Did he? All right. Also, Kanye has his concert happening in Chicago tomorrow. And at that concert, you don't need a vaccine or a negative COVID-19 test. I don't love that. I was like, wow, you love that? All right. So they're going to admit up to 38,000 fans. That's last down from 63,000 people.

So the same event that he did two other times he's going to do again? Well, they say this one is going to be different. That's what they said every other time. No, but I told y'all why. This is actually great. And I love what he's doing because the album is named after his mom.

This album is about his mom. He has to build as much anticipation for this album as possible. And the fact he did it twice in the place he was born, and now he's doing one in the place he was raised with his mom. And I heard that they're building his house. Yeah, they're doing a replica of the house that he grew up in with his mom. And they're saying the album is really going to come out right after this. I don't believe you.

You can't just put out a project about your mom in any old way. So I respect the rollout that Ye's doing. Listen, all I know is if Kanye puts his,

or Ye puts his album out and Drake drops on the same day or is waiting, that would be crazy. Drake should drop on that. Oh, you don't think he's... Kanye posted his address. Yes, I would drop

on the same day. I would drop on the same day. Now, Rick Ross has weighed in. He was on the Mike Muse show and he was promoting his new book, The Perfect Day to Boss Up, A Hustler's Guide to Building Your Empire, and he gave his thoughts on Kanye versus Drake. I spoke with Drake last night. I loved it.

He said, everything is unfolding. I'm about to be as free as a bird. And he put the caption with the owl. I understand the genius of both of these artists, and I understand this is nothing personal. This is them two levels of creativity. And to me, it only makes the game that much more genius, that much more valuable.

Right. He also talked about Kanye posting Drake's address online. Kanye posted Drake's address on the Instagram, but who didn't have Drake's address already? Me. It's the only $100 million estate in Canada. So if you don't understand what's going on, you would have thought that was personal.

It really wasn't. That was personal. You don't put nobody's address on there. I do think a lot of people knew where Drake, and it's not like you're going to be able to just get onto his estate anyway when the pictures look close to the street but mad people didn't know the address they know they knew where it was but we all know where rick ross live right no i don't know i know it's a van to holyfield if y'all google it it'll come up why would i be doing it that's just strange

the fact you put somebody's address out there like that way i don't have to Google, I can just look on your page and find it. I understand what Rick Ross is saying, though. I get what he's saying. But it's still lame as hell to put somebody's address out there. Super lame, and that's why I would drop my album the same day as him. Alright, Rick Ross' new book is coming out on September 7th, by the way. I got it. I'm actually reading it now.

I think they sent copies for all of us up here. Alright, now Lil Wayne is gearing up to release three albums, according to Mac Mane. And he was discussing this in a Twitter spaces conversation. Here's what he said. Anybody that's like a Wayne fan, you know, they're like, I'm not a human being. Three is up, coming up soon. Wayne and Rich the Kid have a project together that's coming out soon.

Kylie Grove is coming out soon with him and 2 Chainz. All right, so that'll be nice. A whole bunch of Lil Wayne material, just like back in the day. Hey, as Isaiah Rashad said, Wayne be snappin'. All right, and Travis Scott gifted his daughter Stormi

that he has with Kylie Jenner a yellow school bus. Imagine that. Just to be rich, rich. Just to feel like you're going to school. Did he use it for the day or is her bus she's going to park in? Where are they going to park? They're going to park in the back next to Ferrari's and Bugatti's? Kylie wrote

in an Instagram story, all Stormy has been talking about is riding a big yellow bus. Daddy surprised her. So yeah, I don't know what they're going to do with the bus afterward. Man, salute to rich people. You're all one of the clues bombs for rich people. Some of us would have got That's how you know you're rich. Man, it's a salute to rich people, boy. Drop one of the clues bombs for rich

people. Some of us would have got a toy bus, a little Tonka. Forget that. Our childhood is a toy for them, okay? I grew, we all, at

least I did, I grew up riding the yellow school bus. Okay, that wasn't. The short one. No, I never rode the short one. That's a damn

lie. That's a damn lie. I never rode the short one. That's a damn lie. I was in the classes for a semester because I felt it. But I never wrote the show I was in the classes for a semester cuz I feel this actual show but never got on it are y'all laughing are y'all short but shaming right now no no no you are y'all short but shame it don't backtrack I'm

Everybody out there that wrote the short bus, y'all should be offended with me. Y'all want to protest? You want a hug? No, I don't want a hug. I want to protest, man.

I want to rally. All right? Let's go. Short bus shorties. Meet me in front of the radio station right now. I am being shamed up here. You are a shorty. I can't wait to see y'all.

Y'all didn't love The Wood? The Wood was great. I think that would be a great series. I watch The Wood often on weekends. It's a great black movie. All right, so yes, that could be amazing if that can happen. And that movie came out in 1999. Really?

Yeah. So how old is that now? Like 22 years? I was on the show, but I can't remember. That was just a test. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. All right.

You failed. He's still counting. I heard y'all scream out a number yet. I said 22. She said 22. Is that right? Yes. Okay.

All I know is that you know when you got to close your eyes and open your mouth to count in your head. Who does that? Are y'all still showbushing? Yes, we are. This is horrible. Close your eyes and open your mouth. Y'all are offending a lot of people right now.

1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003. I messed up. I gotta start over. Who you giving your donkey to, man? A woman in Florida named Krista. She needs to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with her. I know a lot of y'all would like to get

revenge on an ex, but this isn't the way to do it. We'll discuss. Alright, and up next after that is Ask Yee. I'll tell you how to do it. Get on the phone lines. If you got questions for Yee, you need relationship advice or any type of advice, 800-585-1051.

Oh, parking time. All right. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. What up, y'all? It's DJ Envy.

The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.

Yes, you are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Donkey of the Day with Charlemagne Tha God. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this.

Well, little Duval. Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, August 25th goes to Krista Thistle. Okay, Krista Thistle. She is 53 years old and hails from the Sunshine State. Good old Florida. What does your Uncle Charlemagne, Brother Leonard, say about the great state of Florida? What do I always tell you about the great state of Florida? The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida,

and this morning is no different. Let me tell you something, man. There's nothing that can gut a man more than a woman, okay? Not just any woman, a woman who knows him. I mean, really knows him, your mom, a sister, but most importantly, your mate, your significant other, your wife, your girlfriend. See, those partners know us better than we know ourselves.

It's very hard to step outside of yourself and really see yourself sometime. But your significant other, she sees you. She knows everything about you. She knows what makes you tick. But more importantly, she knows what makes you talk. That had nothing to do with anything. I just couldn't think of what the opposite of tick is. Okay.

What I'm saying is that phrase, I know what makes you tick means, you know what drives them or motivates them. Therefore, I would assume that knowing what makes them talk is knowing what breaks them down. That's not it. Keep the talking of the ticks for young white creators on their social media app. Okay. I get it. All I'm saying is nothing can break a man down like his woman.

Okay, they know exactly where to hit you. They know exactly what to say or do that's just going to emotionally and spiritually sting you. Okay? Women know how to treat a man like a kid. They know exactly what to take away from us to hurt us. Okay, no TV, no tablet so you can look at the tube with you. Women just know how to hurt us,

but they only use those powers when we hurt them. And when we hurt them, oh, look out. Okay, not too many powers greater in the universe than a woman's power to hurt the male ego. Women have so much influence over how men think, and some of them absolutely know this. This woman, Krista Thistle, absolutely knows it. Oh, she got into it with her ex. There's a lot of y'all out there who got a case of the ex. Y'all still got hurt and pain over something their ex did to them. Tell the truth.

All right. Some of y'all right now hoping your ex does the crate challenge so he can fall and almost die. Hell, some of y'all hoping your ex does the crate challenge. And you hoping you can come Sean Michael Sweet Chin music, kick the crates right from underneath him. OK, well, we don't want you to go to jail. No need to resort to violence and lose your freedom over somebody you no longer with anyway. But I'm also speaking from the perspective of someone who's not from Florida. See, in Florida, clearly women resolve issues with their exes differently.

Let's go to WKMG CBS 6 for the report, please. A Volusia County woman is facing charges in a disturbing case of animal cruelty. The sheriff's office says this woman, Krista Thistle, threw her ex-boyfriend's cat into the intercoastal after getting into an argument. Deputies shared this body camera video of her arrest. They say they were called to the Riverwood Park Campground in Oak Hill. There, they learned that Thistle and her boyfriend had recently broken up. After the two got into an argument, they say Thistle picked up the cat's crate

and threw it into the river. Deputies say the boyfriend jumped into the river and saved the cat. We're told the cat was not hurt, doing okay. Right now, Thistle is being held in the Volusia County Jail without bond. I mean, this is cold-blooded. She didn't just throw the cat into the river.

She threw the cat in the river while the cat was still in his cage or whatever. I mean, Jesus Christ. Do we have audio of her talking? You're here to throw a cat in the river, and you're going to go to jail. Why did you not throw a cat in the river? Stop resisting. Tell the truth. I think he is telling me the truth.

How do you throw a cat in the river and then ask the cop, is he insane? Only in Florida. Ladies, tell the truth, though. How many of you wish you could do this to your ex? Huh? Huh? You ever did something like this to your ex? No.

Hmm. I don't believe you. I keep it moving. That's the worst revenge. Hmm. Well, salute to Krista. You know what I'm saying? Krista said, F all the pussycats

in your life that's not mine alright I'm just gonna let you run around getting all the pussycats you want and I'm supposed to be cool with that F you and all your side pussycats you want other pussycats that bad well go get this one out the river alright sad man just sad

this guy jumped into the river and rescued the cat you know what the cat's name was? Stanley. Okay? Stanley was only in the water for 20 seconds, and when they pulled it out, the cat was wet and shivering. And allegedly, the man yelled out to Krista, this cat is wetter than yours. Look, ladies, if you have a problem with your ex, fine. Okay? But no other lives should be harmed or hurt in you trying to get revenge, including the lives of animals.

Cats hate getting wet, too. I know. You ever try to give a cat a bath? It's impossible. I thought they washed themselves. I thought they did. They do, but if you ever try to put them in the water. You know, we had a lot of cats growing up.

Yeah. And so my parents would take in a stray cat, and you got to kind of like wash them for the first time if they're coming in the house. And they hate it. They cannot stand it. They will scratch you up. They'll put their claws out so that they don't have to get in the bathtub and try to like not get in the house. And they hate it. They cannot stand it. They will scratch you up. They'll put their claws out so that they don't have to get in the bathtub and try to, like, not get in the water.

They do not play. So I know that poor cat was going through it. Well, if you got a problem with your ex, take it out on your ex only. Mm-hmm. Okay? Please. But please don't do anything that can land you in jail.

Please give Krista Thistle the biggest e-haw. E-haw. E-haw. No. You don't want to e-haw. No. No, I won't play again. No. I respect the cats. Why not?

Play again. Why? It's interesting. You think you know what race this is, she? Yeah. Okay, okay. Let's do it. I guess we'll play a game.

It's time to play a game of Guess What Race It Is. All right. Chrissa Thistle of Florida. She was mad at her ex, so she took the cat that was still in the cage and threw it in the river. DJ Envy, Guess What Race It Is. She's white. Angela Yee

Chrissy Thistle She was mad We destroy property But we're not trying To hurt no animals I don't know too many Brothers that own cats either Like I know brothers

Own dogs Brothers own snakes If it was a pit bull If you really want to hurt If it was a pit bull Then I'd be like Rot wild in the river If you really wanted to hurt

Him just break the TV Or something Go to the gaming console out the window. I just don't know too many brothers with cats. You know a brother that got pulled up with a cat? Yo, this is my little cat, Stanley. Nah, I don't know. I see pit bulls.

I see Rottweilers throwing pinches. Both of you are absolutely correct, but it doesn't matter because she's from Florida. When you're from Florida, it's just Florida. If you really want to hurt him, put Spice Offer on his laptop and then delete all his emails. Nigga, what? I'm just giving people advice. You said put what? Spyware.

Oh, I thought you said spice sofa. I was like, what kind of voodoo is you doing? Spyware. Spice sofa? Spyware, okay. Yeah. I'm just giving like advice. I'm still trying to figure out.

I don't know any black people that own cats. Like a black brother that own a cat. You know what I mean? I know plenty of women. Black women that own cats. No, I said black men. Yeah, not black men. I don't know no black men that own cats.

We had cats growing up. I'll tell you what cats are good for. Growing up in Brooklyn, it'll make sure that you don't have any mice or roaches or nothing like that.

Cats eat roaches too? I know cats eat roaches. They do. They would chase down, in my old apartment, when I would tell my landlord we need to call an exterminator, he would just bring

his cat upstairs and the cat would find everything and eat it. That was his exterminator. You gotta do better, you. I'm glad you grew up. That sounds everything and eat it. That was his exterminator. You got to do better. I'm glad you grew up. Sounds horrible. When I was a lot younger, I would call the landlord.

I grew up with roaches on my face. That's how you know. It's Brooklyn. You know what I'm saying? I'd be like, we need an exterminator. He'd just put the cat upstairs. Jesus Christ. And he'd walk around with half a roach hanging out his mouth.

Clearly with no cats in Harlem growing up, he had 15 roaches on his face. All he needed was a cat. Jesus. All right. Well, thank you for that, Dawg. That would have been full. ASCII is next. 800-585-1051.

You need relationship advice, call Yee. Now it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Come on. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice.

Call up now for Ask Ye. Eat the bread. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Ye. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, you can call her. 800-585-1051.

Hello, who's this? Keisha. Keisha, what's good? What's your585-1051. Hello, who's this? Keisha. Keisha, what's good? What's your question? I'm good. How are you, Keisha? What's your question for ASCII? My question is, Keisha, I've been married to my husband for six years now,

going on seven years next month. But I have a friend, and he's been picking up, you know, my husband Tom. My husband has two jobs. He's always on the go. He's never around. You know, he's always on call. He's always on duty. I understand that he has a job to do, but at the same time, it's like he forgot about his family at home, his wife and his kids.

So I found somebody else to argue time by time, but at the same time, I'm feeling like, should I just let my husband know, like, what's going on? Should I just move on? Or should I just put my friend to the side and try to work it out with my husband and try to, you know, build up our communication a little bit better and, you know, and try to get some counseling. Keisha, do you love your husband and want to stay with him? Yes, I do, but I just need for my husband to spend more quality time with me. Like, you know, I just feel like he's going to leave his job first and not me.

So I just need to know, like, where do I stand in his life? Girl, this man is working two jobs to hold it down for the family financially, right? What about you? But look, at the same time, I have a good source of income, too. So it's not like he's just paying all the bills. Right. No, if I was to leave him today or tomorrow, I could hold down my bills and my rent and my office bills on my own. So why is he working so much?

That's my question that I ask him. Like, why did you need this second job? Like, your first job, you know, it's good. It pays you good. It's a good source of income. Like, why did you need this second job? Like, you don't want to be home? Or you feel as though you need that extra money?

Or, like, what it is? And that's my thing with him. And every time I bring this discussion up with him, it's like he can never answer the question. Right. Is he down to go to counseling? Go to counseling? Yeah, is he down for that?

Like, have you spoken to him? Like, listen, we need to go to counseling. I spoke to him about that, and he said he feels so that he don't need therapy. He don't need for nobody to tell him, like, what it is that he needs to do in life, that part. Yeah, because Keisha, sometimes it could be a few different things. I don't know what's going on with him personally. I know you said you make good money with your job. Maybe he feels like as a man, he needs to bring more to the table than you do. And he's working hard for that. Or like you said, maybe he doesn't

want to be home. And instead of him dealing with the issues that he has, he's working all the time. So he doesn't even have to deal with them head on. And so it could be something like that as well. I, you know, I can't really answer what his reasoning is because he won't even answer it for you. So it feels like you guys are having a breakdown in communication and it's like you're filling in the gap with this other guy who was more convenient. He's around. It's making you feel good. And sometimes when you're doing things like that, it makes you not be as mad at your man or at your husband because you have something else that is taking that place. But what you need to do is deal with your main issue. And the main

issue you have right now is your husband. You shouldn't be distracting yourself with somebody else because all that's going to do is delay whatever it is, if there's a resolution. And if that resolution is that y'all go to counseling and work it out, or that resolution is that you're not together, I just don't want to encourage you to do the wrong thing. And now it's going to make it even more complicated for you. And that's good advice. And I take heed to everything that you're saying too. Just like before my mother passed,

my mother always told me to hold on to health because I would never find nobody that's better. So I'm willing to, you know, go to therapy and work it out. And we need to pick up on our communication

a little bit better. We need to spend more time together. And I'm willing to do that. Right, because right now you're very vulnerable. So this other man is able to slide in there. And that's just going to make things so much more complicated. If he finds out, if your husband finds out about it, it's really over. Because you guys already have this breakdown in communication for whatever reason.

So you need to get to the root of that. But you need to do to the root of that. But you need to do it in a way that shows him that you love him and you care about him. And all you're trying to do is improve things between the two of you. Yes. So I do encourage you to go ahead and what city are you in? New Jersey. Okay.

All right. So, you know, so, yes, I do. I do think that you need to find a counselor and you need to encourage him to go with you. And you need to let him know that this is a positive thing that you feel like you need because the communication isn't working with you guys together. You need to bring in a professional just so y'all can get on the same page. OK. And again, we don't know what the root of him working all the time when he doesn't necessarily need to is. So you have to find out what's going on with that. And I think you'll be better off that way, because right now you're throwing somebody else in the mix and something that's already not the way it should be, according to you, and that's not going to make it any better.

All it's going to do is make it worse. True indeed. And that's very understandable. All right, Keisha. Well, I wish you the best of luck. Thank you, Angelique. Thank you so much. You're welcome, girl.

Shout out to Newark. All right. Thank you, 07111. Y'all have a so much. You're welcome, girl. Shout out to Newark. All right. Thank you, 07111. Y'all have a blessed day. You too. Ask Yee, 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call her now. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Jasmine.

Hey, Jasmine. What's your question for Yee? Well, I first want to say good morning to everybody. I listen to you guys every morning. Good morning, Jasmine. Thank you. Good morning. Good morning. My question for Yee is, I just recently moved. I used to live in I live in Florida. I'm not crazy, I promise. And I just moved to a new location, got a new job. And I recently broke

up with somebody after five years. Okay. And so when we broke up, it was a mutual thing. We needed to be happy with ourselves first before we could you know move on because I wanted to get married but we weren't at that stage yet okay so moving down to where I live now you know we we're still talking we're still friends we're still close um and I'll still visit him every once in a while and it just feels like I don't know it feels like it's still hard to to not like be over him yet well yeah because you're still talking all the time and going to visit him yeah but the only thing is like we we don't want to like completely let each other go out of our lives but we want to do our own thing like I want to grow with my company and with me

with my you know my profession and then him too and then kind of grow as individuals but it's just hard because like you know I recently went up there and I found that he was talking to somebody else and I mean I'm talking to other people too but like I mean I don't know it's just like you either gotta get in or get out

that's the thing right because I don't know if you're being honest about how you really feel to him like do you want to be together or do you not want to be together because if you're not yeah you need to I do I like I want him to be the father of my children like I want him to like he's ending for me but I know that right now like we both just need to figure out ourselves right and I'm hoping that you know with time we'll be like, you know what? We're better as individuals. Now we can be better together. But it's just like... I just think, Jasmine, you're hurting yourself

because you're seeing other people, he's seeing other people. You guys aren't doing anything wrong. But obviously, you're not ready for that. And so I do feel like if you break up with somebody, you do have to break from that person. And what that means is it's cool if you want to check in, tell him happy birthday, but you need to stop going to see him.

You need to stop talking to him all the time. He shouldn't be the first person you call when you get some news or what you want to share or event. You've got to, if you're going to close that door right now and really break up, move on. Now, if you guys decide you want to work on things, that's a whole nother story. But you have to have that conversation because I can't see you being okay with this. And I don't understand why you would want to continue to hurt yourself. Yeah, yeah. That's I mean, I've asked some people about that, too. Like I talked to my sister about it. And she kind of said the same thing. It's just hard because like, when you're

with someone for five years, yeah, that's my best friend. So he's your crutch. Also, like you're leaning on that. And honestly, like if you guys get back together, great. But if you don't, let's just say by chance you find somebody you like even more. You're really closing the door on those opportunities because you're trying to figure out what it is that you want to do in the future. You said you definitely want to be with him, but just not now. And you want to grow as a person. I assume that means you want to date other people, right? You want to.

I mean, it's not like I want to date other people. I mean, if it happens, it happens. I'm not out here looking for another boyfriend. Like, I mean, I like to hang out with people and maybe, you know, meet new people. But I'm not really looking to get into any relationship right now because I've wasn't one for five years. Right.

So, but you still want to have fun and go out and date? Yeah, yeah, I guess, yeah. You know, I definitely want to do that and just try, you know, and see what other date. Yeah, I guess, yeah. I definitely want to do that and just try and see what other people are like, you know? Right. Well, then you have to do that. And part of that is you got to stop leaning on your ex as your

crutch. Either he's your ex or he's your man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Alright. Just make sure that's what you want. Just make sure that's what you really, really want. Yeah, it's hard. Just because you know, moving to a new place, don't know anybody here, breaking up with him, starting a new job. It's, like, been a lot all at once.

He's your familiar. Yeah, he's your familiarity. And you kind of got to step away from that, you know? Also, it's weird to go from being the main girl to being feeling like the side chick, too. You don't want to feel like that. Yeah. Yeah. And it's not even like I don't know. It was weird. Like I didn't want to find out. But like the same part, like I did want to find out because I want to know. Like, you know, I don't want to be just feeling like a fool going over there, you know, like, and hanging out, like, when he's talking to other people. But I don't know.

Yeah, he's going to hear this. He listens to Breakfast Club too, so he's going to call me and be like, what the heck? Right. Well, maybe, look, maybe this will make you guys have that real conversation you need to have. Yeah, maybe have that real, yeah, you're right. Well, I appreciate you guys so much.

Okay. You guys are awesome. Love you guys so much. Good luck, Jasmine. All right. Thank you. Ask Yee. 805-85-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice, you can call Yee. Now you got

rumors on the way? Yes, Tory Lanez. He is getting that money for everybody who's interested in selling NFTs. We'll tell you what he's doing. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. Oh, the gossip. Gossip.

The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Tory Lanez is getting to the money. So he has an NFT album and it's advertised now it's sold out. But you can see a lot of other outlets reselling his album. So it's advertised now it's sold out but you can see a lot of other outlets reselling his album

so it's when it's dark and here's what he had to say about his NFT sales. $1 for the NFTs right? I sold these to my fans for $1. Some people bought $5. Some people bought $60. One of those copies right now is going for $50,000

$60,000 and he's a soul y'all don't understand what the f**k is going on y'all don't understand i just cracked the f**king industry no more middleman all y'all artists out there f**k your label f**k the n***** that's telling you yo you gotta wait for this day on spotify and on this f**k that y'all gonna get paid and your fans gonna get paid and they they gonna keep coming to you. Why? Because y'all making money together. So he put out an album?

Yes. So what it is, is reports are saying that a million copies sold in just 60 seconds. It's the first ever music streaming NFT, according to Tory Lanez. Interesting. So a dollar a pop? Right. And then they're reselling it. So once it sells out, you resell the NFT.

The thing about NFTs is that as long as people are buying it, when you resell it, the owner still gets a percentage. So if they keep on reselling your NFT, you keep on getting paid from it. And the people that buys it, they keep getting money from it. And Tory keeps getting money from it. Right. Exactly. Big happy family or something like that.

So something to think about now. While this is going on and he's celebrating, Cassidy has done a third Tory Lanez diss track. It's called Lullaby and here's a part of that. got light but if we fight pro good night bro i'm teeing off like a typo like the right gold and the left hook bitch you could get your last breath yeah envy beard look like you got botox thank you cassidy for that bar uh definitely does it but um it's only a battle if if toz responds. Tory did, didn't he?

One time, like two weeks ago. Why don't you give him a moment? He's selling NFTs. He'll probably come back around to it. Alright, now one of R. Kelly's accusers said yesterday that she was forced to lie and she was coached by him during an interview where she defended him against allegations

of sexual abuse. That's when she was on with Gayle King and that was on CBS this morning. The woman is identified just as Jane Doe 5. She said R. Kelly remained in the room to make sure they stayed on script. He did a cough that he usually does so everyone knows he is there, letting us know that he was in the room with us. She also said that she's now 23. She said she was 17 years old when she met him,

and he told her that he would help her get a singing career, allegedly. She claims that R. Kelly recorded a sexual encounter with, quote, nephew, and that there was another incident where R. Kelly and nephew went back and forth between her room and another girlfriend's room to have sex with them both. She also said she has not had contact with him since January of 2020. So I guess as punishment, he would make her sleep with somebody called nephew, allegedly. Yikes.

Yeah. Listen, a lot more going on as this trial continues here in Brooklyn. All right. Future is giving back to Haiti after there was that lethal earthquake that just happened earlier this month. He revealed plans for a benefit concert that is going to be set for September 3rd in Miami.

So tickets are going to be available starting at noon today. And he also said he'll have a few surprises in store. So they said there's going to be unnamed friends as part of that lineup. Future is Haitian, right? Yeah. Alright, now the baby has joked now about being

canceled. He did a whole lot of money freestyle and here's what he had to say on there. All right. So he clearly is okay with everything that's going on. He still has already paid for all his cars, his mansions. And there you go. You can listen to the whole freestyle. And he has it starring the baby canceled ass.

I mean, what else is he supposed to do at this point? I mean, you know, you're an artist. So artists got to reflect their life, right? So this is what's going on in his life at the moment. Hey, put it in your art. All right. Jesus and Mero has been renewed for season four of Showtime. Congratulations to them. Drop one of those bombs for my guys, man.

something big for the kids. We're trying to make a safe environment where kids can have fun, look at cars, play all the amusement rides, carnival games, and still get candy safe without worrying about the elements. So that is October 30th in Detroit and then December 12th in Miami. What are the

elements? Niggers? You know, sometimes Halloween's not the safest sometimes. People going around and things could be happening out there. This is a safe environment for kids. It's like mischief night.

Yeah, so makes it easy for parents. They don't have to worry about their kids out and about at night. True, true, true. All right, and I'm gearing up. Listen, what's today?

Wednesday? So I should have my coffee shop opening and then Angela Yee Day all about to happen this weekend. I'm really excited for it and everybody that's coming on board to support. So that's really dope. And make sure you check out the interview I just did with ABC News Live where we're actually in the coffee shop.

I posted it in my story so you can see what the inside was looking like and, you know, everything that we have going on. You should do a crate challenge in front of your coffee store. No, we should not. And the winner gets a free coffee. No, I'm not trying to get anybody your coffee store. No, we should not. And the winner gets a free coffee. No. I'm not trying to get anybody to hurt themselves. Let's not do that. I don't encourage the crate challenge.

Ain't no coffee strong enough to fix them bones when they broke. All right. Well, when we come back, we got the positive note. 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.

Now, it's time for a positive note. Now, Charlamagne Yee, would y'all do the crate challenge? No. I'll do the beginner one that they have, though. It's two levels. Two levels, that's it? Mm-hmm. I'm a grown-ass man, and, you know, for all this talk of social engineering

and population control and, you know, they're pushing an agenda. How the hell y'all just wake up one day and everybody doing crates? That don't make y'all think anything the first one i saw was the the woman who pulled it off amazing and did it i didn't know it was going to turn into a whole thing i don't know where it even started from i'm cool y'all cheating with the big crates man if you're gonna do it you gotta use the small milk crates not the big uh dj crates i'm gonna do it i'm gonna glue all the crates together and then i saw my dude Andre. Andre Hale. He walked into Walmart. And when he went into Walmart, they had all the crates at the front of the store.

For sale. So they already know what time it is. It's just like, yo, y'all always screaming about agendas and social engineering and everything else. But boy, y'all make it easy for these people. What's the next challenge? Maybe we should start one. I don't know. But I guarantee it ain't going to be nothing productive. That's the sad part.

All right, let's come up with one. All right. Hey, salute to our good folks at Untell Freedom and Black Voters Matter. They have the Make Good Trouble rally this Saturday at 10 a.m. on the Lincoln Memorial, the 28th of Saturday, right? Yeah, Saturday. It's also Angela Yee Day. It's also the day that Martin Luther King Jr.

gave his I Have a Dream speech. I think that's why they're doing it on this day. They are. But it's at the Lincoln Memorial, August 28th to Make Good Trouble rally. Untell Freedom, Black Voters Matter, and a hundred other partners. They're going to be in D.C. causing some good trouble, man. So if you care about protecting voting rights and canceling

student debt, you know, ending police and gun violence and just defending civil liberties, you'll go join them. OK? OK. Now, the positive note is simply this. Never sit so high that you belittle others because God can always flip the script. Unless you're standing on some crates. Breakfast club, bitches!
