Starting point is 00:01:58 makes space for somebody like me. You guys have a direct line to the culture. Oh my god, I'm on the radio with Angela Charlamagne and DJ Envy. Yes, you are. All I do is read about the Breakfast Club. Really? Every morning. That's good.
Starting point is 00:02:09 You guys are trending. Every, you know, I drag my ass out of bed. I'm like, uh, what happened at the Breakfast Club today? Get your ass up. Good morning, USA. Hey, good morning. Hey, ye. You can't. You're cutting in and out, ye.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Damn it, man. Well, guess what day it is. Guess what day it is? Pump day? That's right. It's Wednesday. And what's up? Good morning, Toronto.
Starting point is 00:02:54 So here on the East Coast, New York, New Jersey, we were hit pretty bad yesterday with the hurricane or turned into a tropical storm. I have no power in my house right now. I have a generator just taking care of the fridges to make sure the food stays okay, but there is no power, so I have no Wi-Fi, so I'm actually at my office. I had to ship, move everything to the office and do everything
Starting point is 00:03:18 from my office this morning. Charlamagne, I don't know what happened with him. I thought he had Wi-Fi. Yee, how you holding up? Yeah. Hello? Yeah. Hello? Testing. Yeah, you're going in and out. I know Yee said she had problems last night with her Wi-Fi.
Starting point is 00:03:33 So how are we going to try to make this happen today? How are you holding up? How are you guys out there? The tropical storm affects you. You have power. They said over a million people in the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut area have no power. How are you guys holding up out there? I went through to Yee and said what's going on in front page news,
Starting point is 00:03:52 but I don't think Yee's there. Yee, you there? No, she is not. But all right, got a lot to talk about today. Master P will be joining us this morning. We're going to kick it with Master P. Of course, he has the No Limit Chronicles that's on BET. The first two episodes were released last week. So the next two are tonight. I'm excited about that. I'm really loving the Master P. Just
Starting point is 00:04:14 learning more about Master P. Me being from the East Coast, New York, New Jersey area, we knew about Master P, but we didn't necessarily know how he got into the game. We know about it, about it. We know the ice cream man. We know make him say, um, we know the tank, but I wasn't, I didn't know how he got into the game. I didn't know all the steps that he made and why he was one of the first artists to get a deal where he kept 80 and the label kept 20. So he breaks all that down, which is amazing. I didn't know that. Yes, I can hear you now. Is that better? Am I still cutting in and out? No, way better, way better.
Starting point is 00:04:47 I was talking about Master P and, you know, he'll even say it today when we talk to him that, you know, he didn't know a lot. So instead of just acting like he knew, he asked for advice. Like he reached out to Michael Jackson's attorney, paid him just to get advice. So we'll talk to Master P in a little bit. And then we got front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Well, let's talk about Donald Trump and this interview that he did with Jonathan Swan.
Starting point is 00:05:11 All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne is having some technical difficulties.
Starting point is 00:05:22 But let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Technical difficulties? Before I... Yeah, Yee's having technical difficulties now. Are you good now? I think so. I can't hear.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Yeah, you're cutting in and out. So let's get to the Trump audio. So yesterday, Trump did an interview with Jonathan Swan, and he talked about having coronavirus under control. And so when they hear you say everything's under control, don't worry about wearing masks, I mean, these are people, many of them are older people, Mr. President. What's your definition
Starting point is 00:05:57 of control? Under the circumstances. It's giving them a false sense of security. Right now, I think it's under control. I'll tell you what. How? A thousand Americans are dying a day. They are dying, That's true. And it is what it is.
Starting point is 00:06:10 But that doesn't mean we aren't doing everything we can. It's under control as much as you can control it. You really think this is as much as we can control it? A thousand deaths a day? Yeah, under control my ass. There's no control. Like, the cases are rising. They're shutting more and more places down. What are you talking about under control? Yeah, you back No, all right now he also he pulls out evidence that says he can prove that numbers are going down right here
Starting point is 00:06:36 We're lower than the world lower than the lower than what is Europe? Oh, you're doing death as a proportion of cases I'm talking about death as a proportion of population. You can't do that. Why can't I do that? You have to go by the cases. Well, you look at death. It's going up. Death is way down from where it was.
Starting point is 00:06:52 It's a thousand a day. Death. It was two and a half thousand. It went down to 500. Now it's going up again. Death, where it was, is much higher than where it is right now. Went down and it went up again. But now it's going down again.
Starting point is 00:07:02 It's going up. It's going down in Arizona. It's going down in Florida. National. It's going down in Arizona. It's going down in Florida. It's going down in Texas. It's going down in Florida? Yeah, it's going. It leveled out and it's going down. That's my report as of yesterday. I want to know where Trump gets these facts from, these numbers from.
Starting point is 00:07:15 I want to know that. He makes them up. So I can tell these restaurants here, hey, numbers are going down. Can you open back up? Can I go get a nice meal in a restaurant, you know, so people can get back to work? I wonder where he's getting these numbers back. Welcome back, E. Hey, am I okay now? You're good now.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Alright, now Donald Trump also still has a grudge against Congressman John Lewis and you know he didn't go to his funeral. And when asked about him and his legacy, here's what he said. How do you think history will remember John Lewis? I don't know. I don't know John Lewis. He chose not to come to my inauguration. Do you find him impressive? I can't know. I don't know John Lewis. He chose not to come to my
Starting point is 00:07:45 inauguration. Do you find him impressive? I can't say one way or the other. I find a lot of people impressive. I find many people not impressive. But again, nobody has done more for black Americans than I have. I understand. He should have come. I think he made a big mistake. But taking your relationship with him out of it, do you find his story impressive, what he's done for this country? He was a person that devoted a lot of energy and a lot of heart to civil rights, but there were many others also. He's so petty. He couldn't just say, yes, he was a good brother. Yeah, we didn't get along. We didn't like each other, but I respect everything that he's done like trump is petty man
Starting point is 00:08:30 all right now we also talked about systemic racism and police brutality i can already tell you this question didn't go well do you believe that many police treat black people differently from white people i hope not what does systemic racism mean to you i hope the answer to that question is no do i does anybody really answer that question accurately? But what about not hope? What about analysis? What's your cold-hearted view of it? I have seen where there is a difference, and I don't want there to be a difference. But why do you think black men are two and a half times
Starting point is 00:08:56 more likely to be killed by police than white men? That I don't know, but I don't like it. And what do you do about it then? Well, I think we've already done a lot of things. But you haven't, it still exists. Let me just tell you. I understand your achievements. I know do you do about it then? Well, I think we've already done a lot of things. But you haven't. It still exists. I understand your achievements. I know what you're going to say. He also said,
Starting point is 00:09:12 I do know this, police have killed many white people also. That was his response. And, you know, Donald Trump usually will tweet out interviews that he's done and sit down so people can go and say, this one, he's been quiet. My goodness. All right. Well, that is your front page news and that is your president get it off your chest 800-585-1051 if you need to vent you can hit us up
Starting point is 00:09:32 right now maybe had a bad night horrible morning maybe your power went out or maybe your power went out your wi-fi is out and a bird flew in your house yeah yesterday a bird flew in my crib that sounds like like good luck. No, they actually said it's bad luck. But I couldn't get the bird out. So how you look at it? It's only how you look at it. I looked at it as good luck, but I could not get the bird out. I was trying to talk to the bird.
Starting point is 00:09:54 I was trying to do everything possible. My whole family ran. The only one that stayed with me was my three-year-old. She was the one that just thought the bird was the cutest little thing. Everybody else was out, like gone. But I finally got it out after an hour. But get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Phone lines are wide open. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:10:15 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. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it.
Starting point is 00:10:33 I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't Iana tribe own country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?
Starting point is 00:10:48 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!
Starting point is 00:10:59 We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:12:26 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.
Starting point is 00:12:54 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.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're man or flesh. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So if you've got something on your mind, lay it out. Hello, who's this? I'm sitting anonymous today. What's up, anonymous?
Starting point is 00:13:31 Get it off your chest, bro. Yeah, no, I'm calling because me and my wife, we're having problems. You know, we've been having problems for a while. And kind of what boiled it over was because yesterday she said she was going out to get some coffee and then she went out to get coffee didn't come back with any coffee and then when i went to go out for work she switched the subject oh well our son needs uh baby food and you took all the money why didn't you tell me that he needed food before you went to go get yourself coffee. And now I'm a bad person because you didn't bring that up to me. And I'm trying to, you know, I'm frustrated about that, you know.
Starting point is 00:14:12 So I don't know if I found wrong for her not, you know, being as active and paying as much attention as I could have, or if we're both wrong for, you know, her going out to get herself coffee versus getting him his food when, you know, she was already out and she didn't get the coffee in the first place. That sounds like an asking question. Yeah, it sounds like a miscommunication and something that maybe other things are happening that made this actually blow out of proportion. Yeah, that's true. It is an asking question.
Starting point is 00:14:43 But yeah, I know I said to get that off my chest because I'm frustrated about it, you know, right now, but I don't want to mess up, you know, you know,
Starting point is 00:14:51 the full of your show, but, you know, have a good show. No, it's fine. This is for you to get things off your chest. It's fine. It's no problem.
Starting point is 00:14:57 A little bit of a debbie downer, but it seems like there's a bigger issue and a bigger problem that you need to find out what that is. I mean, the fact that
Starting point is 00:15:04 she went to get coffee, there's something bigger than that. She could have drank the coffee on the way back too, bro, but there's a bigger issue and a bigger problem that you need to find out what that is. I mean, the fact that she went to get coffee, there's something bigger than that. She could have drank the coffee on the way back too, bro, but there's something bigger than that and you need to get down to the bottom of it because you don't want her to go get caught, get a black coffee, but then she's really going to get some black penis. You know what I mean? So you need to figure that out ASAP. That took a left.
Starting point is 00:15:20 I'm just telling him, just letting him know. Better figure that out. Alright, brother. Yeah. Just better figure it out. Hello, who's this? This is Dennis. How you doing? Good morning, sir. How you doing this morning, brother?
Starting point is 00:15:31 How's everybody? Everybody's pretty good. How's everybody your way? That's good. Okay. What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. How you doing, Angel Lee?
Starting point is 00:15:41 I just had power outage yesterday for a couple hours, I guess. And as a matter of fact, it went out twice. But now, thank God, it's back to normal. What were you doing during the power outage? As a matter of fact, listening to the radio. Okay, so the radio was still fine. I had to change it to the batteries. But other than that
Starting point is 00:16:08 it was I guess a couple hours that I was out. Were you by yourself or were you booed up? No, I was by myself. Oh. Alright. Well, thank you for having us on. We'll be your boo for today, alright? You guys are the
Starting point is 00:16:23 best. Thank you. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Say it, say it, say it. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Hello, this is Sam. How you doing? What's up, brother? Get it off your chest.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Oh, man, I'm just trying to get off my chest. Right now, I've been trying to put myself out there, do a little bit more work, entrepreneurship, but COVID-19 has got me at home. I'm in Florida. I listen to The Breakfast Club every morning. I'm listening to it right now, as a matter of fact. But this is crazy. I've always thought I've never been able to get through.
Starting point is 00:17:11 So it's nice to... How you doing, Envy? How you doing, Anthony? What's up, bro? Good morning. How are you? Yeah, but you just keep it up with your entrepreneurship, man. It's going to cake off.
Starting point is 00:17:20 You just keep playing. And now is the time. I mean, you ain't got nothing but time because we all stuck at the crib. So what are you doing entrepreneurship wise? What are you doing? Well, I used to do door-to-door sales. I'm in Jacksonville, Florida, but
Starting point is 00:17:31 I've now been actually realizing like I was actually kind of good at it. So now I've been trying to do things like real estate, because I might as well sell things that might make me more money, so. There you go. And right now, I'm already working like with a mortgage company. I've been there for a while, so. Yeah, man, it's just been hard trying to get
Starting point is 00:17:48 my name out there. It's been hard to just kind of, like, kind of advertise myself, I guess, in a way. You better do it now. Tell people where they can find you. All right, it's 2CANSam underscore, and number two. So, number two, 2CANSam, and underscore. All right, thank you, brother.
Starting point is 00:18:04 See what he's up to. I hope y'all have a good night. You too. Good, oh, yeah. Well, it's a good day. Thank you, brother. See what he's up to. I hope you all have a good night. You too. Good. Oh, yeah. Well, it's a good day, but all right. Hello. Who's this?
Starting point is 00:18:11 Hey. I'm Miss Queen. I'm calling from Cali. Hey, Queen from Cali. Get it off your chest. Oh, my goodness. CJ, Envy, I'm so excited to talk to you, number one. I'm up at like 3.30 in the morning because I'm stressing. I just got a notification from my employer that during coronavirus, they're number one letting me go. I'm a breast cancer survivor and I'm currently in breast cancer treatment.
Starting point is 00:18:39 And I requested from my employer to allow me time off to complete my treatment during coronavirus so that I could be home with my son, complete my breast cancer treatment. My doctor took me off on disability. My employer informed me, though, that my request was not reasonable. And they fired me. And I'm a property manager. And I live on site. So they're asking me to move within seven days. Oh my goodness.
Starting point is 00:19:07 I don't know what to do. I have chemo. I have a five-year-old boy and I'm mad as hell. And I feel like I'm being discriminated against and they don't care. They just don't care. They want me to leave. What city are you in? She said California.
Starting point is 00:19:23 I'm in California. I'm in Cali. Yeah, I'm in Southern California in? She said California. I'm in California. Yeah, I'm in Southern California in the Palm Springs area. And I don't want to say my real name. I have a very recognizable name. But I'm going for bail. Right. It sounds like you need to get your story out there, though.
Starting point is 00:19:41 Yeah, it seems like you need to get an attorney. Did you speak to an attorney yet? No, you guys are the first ones that I called. I just found out today. I just got the letter like maybe seven hours ago and I'm shaking. And I said, I got to call my cousin in New York and see what y'all got to tell me. The first thing I would do is I would get an attorney and talk to an attorney and see what my next step should be. Definitely file for unemployment so you can get some money coming in to make sure you take care of your baby
Starting point is 00:20:06 and make sure you take care of your hospital bills. Those are the first two steps I would do to make sure that I'm covered. I want a black attorney. I want somebody who cares. I want, you know, and I've been trying to Google, like, black female attorneys. I want somebody to know that the discrimination is real. I don't want to just talk to anybody who doesn't care. Is there somebody you can get a reference from,
Starting point is 00:20:32 a friend, a family member, an attorney who they used? I don't know any legal references. I have a lot of, you know, my medical references. My doctors are willing to make statements for me legally. Wow, that's great. I'm just thinking I should go to like, you know, local news outlets and journalists like yourself. Yeah, you should absolutely do all that. You should absolutely do all that.
Starting point is 00:20:56 I work for a huge company. A huge company. They have properties all over California. What's the company? Oh, my God. AWI Management. AWI Management. AWI Management. Now, AWI Management, if you're listening right now,
Starting point is 00:21:13 or somebody that works for AWI Management, this young lady has been working. How long have you been working there, ma'am? I worked there a very short time, and that's the problem. I only worked there for a couple of months. And when they found out that I had breast cancer and I had to go through treatment, they started to really make it hard for me to work there. And my doctor
Starting point is 00:21:31 said, you know what? Well, five of my residents reported positive for coronavirus. I got tested and was negative and my doctor said, you can't be in that environment. Right. Well, you should definitely find an attorney and if they, in fact, fired you that environment. Right. Well, you should definitely find an attorney. And if they, in fact, fired you because they didn't want you because you were going to miss work to take for treatment, yes, you have a case.
Starting point is 00:21:53 And I would definitely talk to an attorney and have an attorney write a letter. Sometimes just writing a letter just solves the issue because they don't want the problems. They don't want the court dates and maybe they can settle something out. But I would definitely find an attorney and like i said if they fired you because you were because you had to take off time for treatment that is discrimination and you and you have a case so i would definitely reach out to an attorney my email if anybody's listening and they can provide some information on attorneys in california sure that are willing to take my case sure you you hold you know what hold on right now.
Starting point is 00:22:25 We'll get your information on the side and if anybody reaches out to us, we'll definitely give them your information, okay? Take care. Thank you. Alright, you hold on, alright? Okay. Man, that's hard. These are tough times and you know, just for her to have had a job and then for them to treat her like that even though she's having her own personal
Starting point is 00:22:41 struggles that she has to go through. That's heartless. The only problem is you just got to prove the reason that they let you go. You know what I mean? Because they can say, yeah, we let you go because we're not making any money. We're furloughed. You know, nobody's ever going to say, hey, I let you go because of you're taking time off. She has statements from the, if she has statements from the doctors that she works with, that she's been doing a great job, then I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:04 That's what I say. Get an attorney. Let an attorney fight that one out for you. don't know. That's what I said. Get an attorney. Let an attorney fight that one out for you. And, you know, go on unemployment. Get your money. Make sure you take care of yourself at first. And then hopefully everything falls into place. All right.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. Now, we got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes. And let's switch to something positive. And we'll talk about a new school that is launching, courtesy of Roc Nation.

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.
Starting point is 00:26:08 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.
Starting point is 00:26:24 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. EJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Zoe Zaldana. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it.
Starting point is 00:26:48 On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, Zoe Saldana has issued an apology for portraying Nina Simone in the biopic Nina that came out in 2016. If you guys remember when she was casted, it became a huge deal in Hollywood. It became a whole issue about color. They had to darken her skin and the posters for the movie. They also made her nose look wider. Here is what Zoe Saldana has to say now in 2020.
Starting point is 00:27:14 I should have never played Nino. I should have done everything in my power to cast a black woman. I thought back then that I had the permission because I was a black woman. I thought back then that I had the permission because I was a black woman. And I am. It was Nina Simone. And Nina had a life that should have been and it should be honored
Starting point is 00:27:35 to the most specific detail because she was a specifically detailed individual. And, but that said, so I'm sorry. I'm so sorry because I love her music. Yeah, as a black woman, what's your opinion on that, eh? I think for Nina Simone, the problem was that
Starting point is 00:27:55 a lot of her story is tied into being young, gifted, and black and songs that she has about the color of her skin and the issues that she had with differing skin tones and how people perceived her. And she was very, I think her stance was just known. That was part of her story. And so in Hollywood, I think is also this whole thing of, quote, the brown paper bag test and people of lighter skin getting more opportunities so this was it would have been a great time for a woman to get that opportunity and also Zoe Saldana is she's Afro-Latina and a lot of people thought it should have been a black American playing
Starting point is 00:28:35 playing that role yes and so there's a lot of nuance to it and Zoe Saldana at the time did defend it and say that there's no one way to be black and she's raising black men. And if she hadn't done it, the script would be lying around. She didn't want to pass on it again. And she was very defensive over her decision to play the role. I don't think it was necessarily her fault. She had an opportunity and took it. I think the casting director should have took that more into consideration.
Starting point is 00:29:03 Gotcha. But, you know, she's admitting she feels like the movie should now be made and it should be made in the right way. So I can always feel that when somebody has a change of heart and can express that and say that they were wrong, I'd never have a problem with that. Right. And speaking of which, Ryan Reynolds has apologized for marrying his wife, Blake Lively, on a slave plantation.
Starting point is 00:29:26 He said it's something that will always be deeply and unreservedly sorry for. He said that they had no idea the venue was a slave plantation before the wedding. He said it's impossible to reconcile. What we saw at the time was a wedding venue on Pinterest. What we saw after was a place built upon devastating tragedy. Years ago, we got married again at home, but shame works in weird ways. He said a giant mistake like that can either cause you to shut down or it can reframe things and move you into action. It doesn't mean you won't F up again, but repatterning and challenging lifelong social conditioning is a job that doesn't end. Yeah. You know, sometimes, you know, people apologize just to apologize.
Starting point is 00:30:02 He didn't know what it was. He just seen a place and rented it out how many times do we always do that you know you you see a hall or venue and you rent it out then when you find out later on you'll be like oh damn i didn't know like i don't i don't look at him anyway for doing that but i am sure he looked at the website before the wedding and on the website it says there's nine historic slave cabins on the property where people can learn how black americans worked and lived as well as the struggles that were faced. So I'm sure if he knew that, then that's foul.
Starting point is 00:30:29 But if he didn't know and he honestly just booked a place, then that's something different. But if he knew and read all of that and still did it, yeah, F him. But, you know, back in May, they announced they donated $200,000 to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. And they talk about systemic racism. It's a time to reflect on decisions that you're making on yourself. And I don't know about the backlash that he got from that
Starting point is 00:30:51 because sometimes people do things because they get backlash. But maybe if you truly understand it, it's just a lot going on. Absolutely. All right. Now let's talk about Jay-Z and Roc Nation. They have launched a school of music
Starting point is 00:31:04 with Long Island University in Brooklyn. And so that's a partnership between Roc Nation and they're going to be doing this Roc Nation School of Music, Sports and Entertainment. They'll start taking applications this fall for the fall 2021 semester. And 25 percent of the incoming freshman class based out of New York will see full rides with Roc Nation Hope Scholarships. I think that's dope. And I think that's part of what Master P was saying in his documentary in the Chronicles of No Limit. Is we got to start teaching our own. So hopefully our own will get the gems and our own will get the knowledge. So the fact that he's creating a school and breaking it down with music and sports management and all that, I think that's great.
Starting point is 00:31:40 I think that's wonderful. I wish I had an option to take some of those classes when I was in college. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee. And that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. What we talking about? Yes. And let's talk about in Aurora, Colorado. Please have apologized to a family. They drew guns on a woman and her four four children that were in the car. Two of them were hers. Two of them were her nieces. And we'll tell you what happened. All right. We'll get into that next keep it locked it's the
Starting point is 00:32:06 breakfast club good morning morning everybody is dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get in some front page news where we starting well let's start in beirut they awoke this morning to devastation there were two huge explosions in their port and at least 100 people were killed and nearly 4,000 injured so far. The prime minister of Lebanon has appealed to all countries and friends of Lebanon to extend help to the nation. He said we are witnessing a real catastrophe and the cause of the explosion was 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate. That is an industrial chemical used in fertilizer and as a component in mining explosives it is a national day of mourning for the victims of the explosion they are still
Starting point is 00:32:51 searching for victims who are trapped under the rubble and residents are trying to find their loved ones people are sharing pictures they are saying the damage is going to be pretty bad billions of dollars worth of damage in Lebanon. Goodness gracious. All right. So governments worldwide have offered support, including the UK, France, Australia, U.S., Canada and Israel so far. Goodness gracious. Well, I definitely pray for everybody out in Beirut.
Starting point is 00:33:19 All right. And in Aurora, Colorado, police have issued an apology. They drew guns on a woman and she had four minors in the car with her. They mistook her car for one that had been stolen. Brittany Gilliam, a black woman, she was with her 6-year-old daughter, 12-year-old sister, and 14- and 17-year-old nieces. That's on Sunday when police drew their weapons on them. Gilliam said that she, her sister, and 17-year-old niece were handcuffed
Starting point is 00:33:43 while police verified that the car was not stolen. On a Facebook video, the children are on the ground in a parking lot surrounded by police. They're crying in the video. Onlookers are trying to ask what's going on. They're trying to intervene about police pulling their guns on the girls, and all of them are black. And
Starting point is 00:33:59 according to what they're saying in Aurora, the police are saying that they were told her vehicle was stolen. She told them that her vehicle was stolen back in February, but it was cleared up. And she offered to show them the vehicle registration, insurance paperwork. The problem was that the number of the license plate they were looking for matched it, but it was a different state of a vehicle that was stolen. So I guess what their protocol is, if it's a stolen car, the way that they approach you is with their guns drawn. Right. Which is understandable. I mean, because if
Starting point is 00:34:30 somebody stole a car, they don't know what's happening. But I mean, the police got it wrong. I mean, they had the wrong state and they have to start double checking and triple checking to make sure they find the right person or the right information. Because I mean, just think about the trauma that those kids are going to have for the rest of their lives. They're in their car with their mom and all of a sudden they see cops walking up to the car with their guns drawn. Like, that's going to be all types of trauma. Alright, and
Starting point is 00:34:53 Gilliam said that she was like if you wanted to place me in handcuffs at that point I would have gladly agreed to that because you had a job to do and you did it right, under the right protocol but you pointed a gun at four kids and then you proceeded to start handcuffing the kids that's what the problem you know was and has been and according to the police department they said we've been training our officers that when they contact a suspected stolen car they should do what is called a high-risk stop that involves
Starting point is 00:35:18 drawing their weapons and ordering all occupants to exit the car and lie on the ground but we must allow our officers to have discretion and to deviate from this when different scenarios present themselves. Yeah, he seems like he's trying to cop out. And I hope that this lady gets an attorney and sues because you have young kids and any officer out there, you know, you have young children and there's no way that you should be putting these young kids out and tell them to get out the car with guns drawn on them and putting them on the floor. These are kids. And a mistake could have happened. Like it definitely did happen. You had the wrong state. And because of that, these kids would be suffering for the rest of their lives. Every time they see a police officer, they're going to be scared. Every time they see anything
Starting point is 00:35:56 to do with cops, they're going to be running and scared and you can't blame them. And just FYI, in Aurora, that police department is the same one that is under scrutiny after everything that happened with Elijah McClain. If you remember, they put him in a chokehold. He lost consciousness and then they gave him ketamine to sedate him. This is the same police department. My goodness. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your front page news. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, don't forget next hour's donkey of the day. You can get on the phone lines right now if you want to give somebody donkey of the day. Charlemagne's having technical difficulties. You know, there was a storm here now if you want to give somebody donkey of the day. Charlamagne's having technical difficulties. You know, there was a storm here, a tropical storm that passed through in the New York, New Jersey
Starting point is 00:36:29 area. And I mean, it's so effed up. I still don't have power at my house. I'm actually at my office right now. I tried to set it up for this morning too. Yesterday I was like, oh yeah, you know, my power went out. My internet went out.
Starting point is 00:36:45 You didn't have to go to work? Yeah, but I guess I'm here. Yeah, you are here. But yes, I'm in my office. But so if you want to give somebody donkey today, you can 800-585-1051. And up next, Master P will be joining us. We'll kick it with Master P when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest on the line right now, Master P.
Starting point is 00:37:17 What's going on, y'all? Good morning. First off, P, man, the first two episodes of that documentary was so good. So salute to you on that. I was wondering when BET first approached you, were you hesitant to do it because maybe it wouldn't be raw enough? Maybe it needed to be on another outlet so it could be raw? Yeah, you know, we start thinking, we think of BET, we don't realize that they have a fan base and nobody else was there and I'm like well I've always if you look at my career I went to priority and it was the underdog they didn't really have the type of content that I had and I start
Starting point is 00:37:54 looking at it I said you know I want to go back to the core audience this is where I started from and I feel like we could make so many great projects together now it shows that people want more raw, real content. And that's what this is about. This is opening up avenues for something else. Was it very difficult to get a lot of the people to do a lot of those interviews? Because I know a lot of times you guys, you parted ways. Well, I've always kept good relationships with people.
Starting point is 00:38:22 Sometimes things don't work out. It just don't work out. But everybody around me, I think, was different about this documentary. I let people talk about what they've seen and what they've been through. And I wasn't afraid to let them express where they was at at the time, part of the movement. Everybody that was around me has been paid, whatever I ever owe them. Sometimes relationships don't work out. And I just think that it's even more people
Starting point is 00:38:50 that wanted to be a part of the documentary that just couldn't because, you know, now this done blew up, you're going to have people hating, you're going to have people saying this and that. But the greatest thing about this was the people that you've seen in this documentary, these are the people that supported the journey. Some people was a part of the season,
Starting point is 00:39:08 whether it was producers, artists, you know, they didn't make big records with me. So people are always going to be unhappy because they feel like, oh, nobody mentioned me or nobody said, I mean, I couldn't mention every high school teacher I had, every middle school teacher, every friend, every family
Starting point is 00:39:25 member, but I think what we was able to capture, the moment, the core of what went on with No Limit, and this is going to prepare for the Ice Cream Man, King of the South movie that'll be coming after this, so. You know, I thought it was dope that you, you know, you had some of the people in there who weren't necessarily happy. I can't remember the brother's name. Yeah. The brother with the cane. He didn't go all the way with you. He was there early with you.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Why did you choose to keep them in there? Well, because I really wanted to make it with King George. That was my friend. But once he got with the manager guy, you know, I had to cut off the hood game, dog. I couldn't play that because I'm on my way. It's like I'm going to make it with you or without you. We all men.
Starting point is 00:40:07 That was a tough one, man. But, you know, when you're on the streets, you got to do what you got to do, any man. So I think, and that's what I wanted people to see. And I wanted to show people that, you know what? It didn't start off where I started selling millions of records. I mean, I had no fans at the beginning. I mean, Tupac, JT, the bigger figure, Rap N' Fote,
Starting point is 00:40:27 you know, a lot of those guys was way bigger than me. E-40, Too Short, Justin DaBae. And, you know, it was a lot of people I did want to talk about, but it was just so much, man, so much. You know, what I got from this was inspiration, right? Because I feel like everything that you said you wanted to do, you did. And I know a lot of times so many people have great ideas I keep telling them no ideas of whack I did remember Charlotte man you told me man your shoes is okay I'm gonna
Starting point is 00:40:59 sell millions I'm gonna be bigger than I can hold up I'm gonna show you something ain't nobody gonna out hustle me look Look at this, y'all. I got your size. Look, sometime you got to... Oh, hold up. Nobody got more product than me. I have those here, too. All right. Come on. Who going to out-hustle me? This is 2020. This ain't
Starting point is 00:41:17 1995. I got chips. I ain't going nowhere, y'all, man. Y'all better realize y'all, man. Y'all been watching this. Y'all better realize. Y'all thought what I did is 98. Now, I ain't going nowhere. I get better with time, y'all. And that's where the hustle game comes from, the streets.
Starting point is 00:41:33 So my thing is to tell anybody, you take that same street mentality and put it into doing something positive, you don't have to look over your back. And, man, I just want to tell y'all that God has blessed me, that I'm here. And, you know, everybody man, I just want to tell y'all that God has blessed me, that I'm here. And, you know, everybody's not going to be happy, Charlemagne. Some of these guys, even that you see on this documentary,
Starting point is 00:41:51 some of these guys had a lot of money. Snoop Dogg is a prime example. He took his money. He flipped it. He got in business. I'm proud of him. He went to the University of No Limit, graduated, and he a boss. Some people took their money, went to the strip club,
Starting point is 00:42:06 brought cars, brought jewelry, tried to keep up with their neighbors. I've never worried about what Puffy, what Jay-Z had because life, business go up and down. When you look at African-Americans and Latinos, we normally don't own anything. And I'm not saying you need to have ownership of everything, but you do need control. If you have the control, then you can control the narrative.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Same thing we did with this documentary. In episode two, when y'all had the meeting with Birdman and Slim and you decided not to do business with them, what made you decide that? Because you could have signed them and you could have had, you know, no living past money all under your umbrella. Yeah, when I met with them, and I'm going to tell you something, I never take advantage of people when they're down.
Starting point is 00:42:46 This dude just had a different glow about him. He wanted his own thing. And I think it all worked out the way it's supposed to work out. That's how God works. He didn't need to be under me. He wouldn't have the legacy he has right now. I mean, in music, I'm not ashamed to say it. They passed me up, Evan.
Starting point is 00:43:04 I'm going to show that in the next episodes to where, you know, by him doing what he was able to do, he built his own empire. And that's great, man, for a black man. We want to celebrate them. I got in the product. I was prepared. So people don't realize until people in the music business, you're only going to be hot between three to five years.
Starting point is 00:43:23 After that, you know, you got some people go on, able to do shows. I'm saying three to five years. So you need to start figuring out what you're going going to be hot between three to five years. After that, you know, you got some people go on, able to do shows. I'm saying three to five years. So you need to start figuring out what you're going to do. When I was in the business, I was already prepared to sell, move on, create another brand and start over. And so that's thinking business.
Starting point is 00:43:39 That's not thinking like, oh, this is going to last forever. I could rap forever. No, I could make music forever. That's the game. Create another artist, go find brands and product. If they do that right now, they'll be around forever. Yeah, it looked like from the documentary, it looked like y'all had like a hostile meeting.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Like it showed the little sketch where you got up and walked off. So let me tell you, it wasn't a hostile meeting. It just, that's New Orleans. Like if you hear something, you're like, man hostile that's New Orleans like if you hear something you're like man look man okay you're your own boss so that's how it looks like either you're going to listen to what I say or you're going to do your own thing
Starting point is 00:44:13 and this dude already had his own you could tell he got his own thing so I'm like I'm wasting my time did he try to blackball you seriously did he try to blackball you since you didn't do it? Jimmy Iovine for not doing a deal with him?
Starting point is 00:44:28 He told me I was going to never get a deal, but I told you, I put my trust in faith in God. When you put your trust in faith in God, he'll make your enemies your footstool. They say that in the Bible. I just walked out there and said, he let me know. A light bulb went off in my head. That's why I tell people education is more important than anything.
Starting point is 00:44:47 You know, I pray for wisdom. I don't pray for money. And when I walked out there, I'm like, man, I'm worth $20, $40, $30 million. You know, and I said, I just got to keep working. I'm going to just go do this on my own. All right, we got more with Master P. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlam more with Master P. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Master P. Charlamagne? We had Snoop on The Breakfast Club, man, and Snoop said you saved his life,
Starting point is 00:45:17 and so it had me thinking, when you heard about the F*** Death Row project, what did God tell you in that moment to help Snoop? Well, you know, I mean, I'm about doing what's right, man. And I told Snoop, you know, whatever you say about Suge Knight, that man did put you on. He put you
Starting point is 00:45:35 in the game. And so doing that, that would be a bad move because it's all about integrity. You got to be thankful. And I think a lot of people don't look at it like that. They're not thankful for the opportunities. If you're not the boss, then whoever the boss is, they're giving you opportunity. Now, when you get your own company, and that's what I was telling y'all, when you get your own company, you can do whatever you want to do.
Starting point is 00:45:55 And we don't need to be getting into it with other black men because that's what they want to see us, kill each other up. He didn't need another yes man around. And I just think that we don't keep it 100 with each other like that. I didn't want to see that man get killed over some music. It made no sense to when, you know, you're disrespecting somebody
Starting point is 00:46:14 that actually paid your bills before or put you on. You know, you probably wasn't everything you wanted, but y'all got to realize when I first started, you know, I had gave my CD to the distribution company that I was buying my music from, from my store. They never paid me. But that let me know once I got away from them, look, man, I can make money doing this. I have something. When you reached out to Michael Jackson's lawyer, what was that phone call like?
Starting point is 00:46:40 And what made you reach out to him of all people? Back in the days, Michael Jackson was the highest paid entertainer. And he was making 22% of record. And he had Neverland and all this stuff. I'm like, damn, how this dude make all this money making 22%? He's the highest paid, so I started researching. So any audience watching this, entertainers, research your business. But this guy was so big to where he like,
Starting point is 00:47:06 man, you ain't got 25K, I'm not going to even sit down unless I got too much going on. I'm doing so much stuff for Michael Jackson. So I had to invest in myself, which a lot of people wouldn't do that today. So when that man gave me that advice, told me what a distribution deal was, it took my business to a whole nother level.
Starting point is 00:47:24 Back to Snoop real quick. Why did you just let him walk freely once all his albums were done? Because he even said, like, you could have got 10% from him for the rest of his career. But that ain't being a boss. Real bosses make other millionaires, and they create other bosses. Snoop turned into a real boss. Anybody on my label, think about it. Anybody that was mad, that left, I told their contracts up and said,
Starting point is 00:47:48 man, y'all going by so many. That's just the way I've been through my whole life. You got to be able to keep your word. And if somebody don't want to be around you, I don't want to be around them. All money, good money. That's the way I live, man. I live by that. And I learned that from being on the streets.
Starting point is 00:48:05 It's like, man, I don't want to be around somebody that don't want to be around me. If it ain't love of being on the same page with me and Snoop, it was love all the way. I wanted to see him be a boss. You got a lot of angry, mad people in this business, y'all, man. Guess what? That mean they don't have no money. I started in the music business. Now I'm about to take over the film industry now because I have the right production team. You guys can see that now, but it took time.
Starting point is 00:48:30 It didn't happen overnight. You know what's interesting about that? That's kind of the opposite mentality of somebody like a Suge Knight, right? And he's addressing this too, because when you moved to LA, he didn't think the town was big enough for the both of you. And you told him, well, you're going to have to move. So what kind of interactions did you guys have? I know we've only seen the first two parts of the docuseries, but what was that like? And did y'all ever get to some type of understanding?
Starting point is 00:48:57 So people don't realize, and this is what I want to address this too, because, you know, we're two black businessmen. So they see we come from the hip-hop world. Everybody want to put us against each other, and they want to see us kill each other. But my conversation was real calm with them. It wasn't, like, negative. I just told them how I felt, and it was real.
Starting point is 00:49:15 I've never wanted to be a tough guy, so I want to get that straight with everybody. I've only stood up when I need to. And I even did business with Suge after that, and you guys are gonna see. That's how I signed Snoop. I wonder what made And I even did business with Suge after that. And you guys are going to see. That's how I signed Snoop. I wonder what made Suge feel like he could even call you and say that, though.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Why? Because y'all both black? Because y'all both hip-hop? Well, think about this, though. That's what I tell people. Look at Rodale Drive. They got 1,000 stores on that block. They all making money.
Starting point is 00:49:42 And that's how I feel about it. I'm like, you know what? Maybe he's not where he needs to be at mentally, but I am. So I feel like it's enough money for all of us. I'm praying for my brothers, man. And it's like sugar incarcerated right now. Man, you know, I want
Starting point is 00:49:57 the best for this brother. I mean, God has changed my life and spared my life. I'm not in that frame of mind. Like, we got to show these kids that you know yeah you come out these tough places you don't have to be the toughest guy in the world because most of the tough guys are dead or in prison the doc also showed me something that was very rad and that's a picture you and pop like i always wonder why there wasn't a lot of pictures of you and pop when you was on the road with them all over yeah you know you know to be honest with
Starting point is 00:50:24 you i was always the hustle in the background. And I let those dudes go do they thing. And I mean, this dude was just an incredible dude, man. Like, we lost him too young. And it's just, man, like, everything that's going on now, you know, it's like history repeating itself. A lot of these artists are dying young, man. When I look at Tupac, I look at how Nipsey Hussle, you know, that was my dude. I feel like this guy should still be here. Like the hood took him under. And that's my thing. I'm saying, we don't
Starting point is 00:50:56 know. We got so many great people that we killing. J. Cole reached out to you when he decided to leap into the NBA and said, hey, I know you've been through it, I know you're a rapper, this is what you did? And what was that conversation like? Yeah, the conversation was, man, J. Cole is definitely a stand-up guy. He called me, man, he's searching for advice. He wanted to know, and I told him, I said, man, let me tell you something, the first thing that's going to happen, I was a hell of a player, but they're going to hate you.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Like, they don't want to see that, so you got to be prepared for that. If you're not prepared for that, and you I was a hell of a player, but they're going to hate you. They don't want to see that. So you got to be prepared for that. If you're not prepared for that and you live in a social media world now, every shot you miss, they're going to show it on TV. They're going to talk about it. So whatever happens, you got to be so ready and so on, they're going to get you about it. You think any NBA player want to see you there,
Starting point is 00:51:42 all the hard work they done did, and then, you know, you're 35 years old now. Like, you think these young boys that come from all these different colleges going to see you? So, you know, you got to know what you get yourself into. And that's why I just wanted to prepare him, that the hard work is going to get you. I tell my saying, my kids that. My kids, Hersey and Mercy, they two of the top high school players in the country. But I tell them now, you got to outworkwork everybody because last year nobody knew who you were.
Starting point is 00:52:09 You know, they beat LeBron James' son in the 17,000 seeded game at the Target Center in Minneapolis. But now you own the spotlight. I'm able to show a little of this in my documentary about, you know, what happened in my basketball world playing in the NBA, but I'm working on something with Slam Magazine to where I'm just going to do something on the whole basketball thing because, man, I almost got it. Well, I got in one fight before in the NBA, but I ain't going to say because we're friends now.
Starting point is 00:52:46 But, you know, they make the rookies carry your bags when you first come into the league. I'm like, dude, I got more money than everybody on the team, though. I'm not carrying their bags. I'm a super rookie. So that was my first time ever getting tested in a long time in the NBA. I'm like, this dude really wants something, right? So I asked Coach, I'm like, Coach, what happened? Did we get into a scuffle?
Starting point is 00:53:09 And Coach was like, whatever happened in the gym, stay in the gym. We ended up being best friends after that. Like, we ended up being cool. Well, who won the fight in the gym? Charlamagne, the only thing I can tell you, I ain't lost a fight in a long time. And I was in the best of shape at the time. So I'm going to tell you all in a documentary I do with Slam.
Starting point is 00:53:28 So if he want to talk about it. All right, when we come back, we got more with Master P. Let's get into a Master P mini mix. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:53:42 We're still kicking it with Master P. That was a Master P mini mix. Now, Charlamagne. You know, P, when I hear you name these names, right? Like, Nia X was always, like, my favorite lyricist in No Limit. But, man, you had Fiend. Yes. Soulja Slim.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Yeah. Mystical. I got to wonder, how did Cash Money pass No Limit? Because we, I mean, it's life. That's what I got to realize is life. Like, so people look at me playing basketball, but I feel like the artists on our label, they stop being hungry because think about it.
Starting point is 00:54:13 Now, if I'm not doing it no more than somebody else got to step up, y'all remain, that's just life. So they know that I'm stepping down to go into business. I want to do product. I created dolls. I created real estate companies. I created clothing companies. Like I'm getting away from this. It's time for somebody else to shine. Nobody else stepped up, but Snoop and Romeo, everybody else got comfortable. So,
Starting point is 00:54:36 you know, I'm running a business. So it shouldn't just be about me. Why I got to be the biggest artist on the label. And so these guys stopped being hungry and didn't beat about a pound, got greedy at the time to what they wanted more money. I mean, but it didn't add up. It didn't make sense. And so, and that's what my whole thing is. If you want to be your own boss,
Starting point is 00:54:57 and I told all those guys, but go start your own thing. Would you do a versus battle? So with me, I'm not into the whole versus thing. So people never really see me as like the greatest rapper. I never been trying to do that. But I sold 100 million records. I got a lot of hit records.
Starting point is 00:55:16 But I've never been that part of the business. I'm in the product business now, y'all. I'm growing up. If y'all follow me in everything else I did, follow me in this. If you want to be successful, get you some product. And look, I'm going to get these on Charlemagne real soon because I'm making a non-believer's belief. Charlemagne, I remember when you said, man, P, your shoes are okay. I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:55:38 You put me back. You sent me back. You sent me back, Charlemagne. Because of you, this is going to be a multi-billion dollar business. Remember. I like that red one. That's a good design, too.
Starting point is 00:55:52 I like the red one you held up, though. Yeah. So, look. Think about this, right? Let me tell y'all what my yada stand for. Motivating oneself, and I encourage you actively to think independently. Wow.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Hey, speaking of product, P, with that slam doc, Mitchell and Ness need to come to their senses and they need to release the Percy Miller Hornets or Percy Miller Raptors jersey. Why have those never been released? I guess they're waiting, but I think it's a
Starting point is 00:56:22 good time and I think that we'll be able to go back to the NBA and make that happen so you got to get the approval from them people don't realize that in Charlotte it was crazy I had 10,000 people in my line
Starting point is 00:56:38 to get autographs in jerseys when I was in Charlotte I've never seen nothing like that and the NBA has never seen nothing like that. And the NBA has never seen nothing like that. So I just appreciate the fans. And it's going to happen soon, Sheldon, man. It's going to happen soon. And, you know, I forgot about Mr. Servon, too,
Starting point is 00:56:53 and how much of a role he played in the early success in No Limit. Yeah. Well, you know, Mr. Servon has always been law him crazy, gangster. So, you know, Servon used to play basketball with me. And that's how we end up being tight. And then you got the real, oh, this is what I want to say too. You know, in the documentary, and I let the Bay Area artists talk too, because I love the Bay, man.
Starting point is 00:57:17 But think about it. The reason why those guys didn't make it with me, they thought that I already had made money when I signed the deal. So they was upset for no reason. You look at the documentary, It was like, yeah, man, P keeping all the money. I signed a deal with Prada. They didn't give me no money. I signed a distribution deal. So I want to get that straight to everybody. Like, like they show that it was man. And sometimes when you don't know something, that's why I say education is so important. I did a distribution deal. When you do a distribution deal, you don't get no money until you make some money. And so I think a lot of those guys didn't
Starting point is 00:57:49 understand that. They think that, oh, you signed a deal. Now you've got millions of dollars. No, I got no money. So I ended up selling 5% of the company to get 250 from them to go do some more marketing and promotion. People got to realize my success comes from when they closed doors on me. I just kept, I would open up a window. I figured something else out, and I kept going. I think that's what you're going to see in this documentary, to where I kept going even when nobody believed. Because a lot of those people didn't believe in me.
Starting point is 00:58:19 So think about this. If I'd have got killed in the Bay Area and wouldn't have left and went home, I wonder what people would still be talking about me to this day. You never know. I tell you what, though, man, you are an inspiration, man. And, you know, I celebrate you all the time. And you have no idea how much you inspired me when you told that white man, you think you white, you right?
Starting point is 00:58:41 Yeah. So think about this, Charlamagne. How many of us are going to do that? They got artists today that's not gonna do they don't even know their power and so we have to start using our power and and that's what i say we got guys right now or go shoot up the hood kill three four people and then when the police come they drop their gun and lay on the ground like hold up you up, you just killed three innocent people. And now all of a sudden you're going to lay on the ground? That showed me that you're really not that crazy. And then these artists, they beef and go kill up these little managers
Starting point is 00:59:14 and people they got, but they go to these companies, go look at it from Atlanta Records to Universal. There's no artist never went in there and got into it with them. Why are they not beefing with them? It's crazy to Universal. There's no artist never went in there and got into it with them. Why are they not beefing with them? It's crazy to me. Like, man, we need to stop killing each other and beefing with each other while we can't communicate with each other.
Starting point is 00:59:34 Nobody want to pay me for my knowledge. That's why I don't waste my time no more. Everybody want me to do something for free for them. I never asked nobody for nothing for free. I pay for everything I want. It's not just about me. No Limit is a corporation. And so sometimes people
Starting point is 00:59:49 got to stop being negative because we all probably could make a lot of money together if we utilize the people that have been there before you. That's right. Well, we definitely appreciate you for checking in
Starting point is 00:59:59 and sharing that knowledge this morning. Always. And seeing the rest of that documentary. It was the first two episodes, amazing. So thank you for checking in. It's on Wednesday to Tuesday, Pete.
Starting point is 01:00:10 Wednesday at 8 o'clock East Coast time. All right. Well, thank you, Master P, for joining us. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I appreciate y'all. Thank you, King. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 01:00:23 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kevin Hart. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report. Rumor report.
Starting point is 01:00:35 This is The Rumor Report. Talk to him. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. All right, so Kevin Hart went on social media to defend his friend Ellen DeGeneres. He said, it's crazy to see my friend go through what she's going through publicly. I've known Ellen for years, and I can honestly say that she's one of the dopest people on the effing planet. She has treated my family and team with love and respect from day one. And he also said, the Internet has become a crazy world of negativity.
Starting point is 01:01:00 We are falling in love with people's downfall. It's honestly sad. When did we get here? I stand by the ones I know and that I love. Looking forward to future where we are back to loving one another. This hate-ish has to stop. Hopefully it goes out of style soon. Yeah, I respect Kevin Hart for standing up for his friend, his homie,
Starting point is 01:01:17 and somebody when he had his problems that he went on her show. But, you know, you just don't know how people treat people when you're not around. But, I mean, I get it. I mean, I would stand up for my friend the same way. Yeah. All you can speak on is your own experience. Now he did, like you said, he had controversy over past tweets of his that were homophobic and he went on Ellen DeGeneres' show. She stood by his side and she felt that he had grown as a person. And she also, as a member of the LGBTQ community, accepted his apology. People gave her flack for that as well.
Starting point is 01:01:46 They felt like she doesn't speak for the whole community. And it was just, you know, something for her show. So she got flack for having his back. And now he's getting flack for having her back because this was his response to all the hate he got for defending her. I'm a friend. As a friend, if I have a friend in trouble ever, I'm going to do my best to try to be there for that friend. Then I hear people go, what about Nick?
Starting point is 01:02:10 That's your friend. Because you didn't see it means that I wasn't there for Nick. Sad times we live in, man. Nick was over my house every goddamn day when he went through his shit. I was the one who called the president of the goddamn studios and reached out to so many to try to see what we can do to solve the situation, find a solution. When did we lose sight of reality? It's a f***ed up time, man.
Starting point is 01:02:35 All right. You know, the thing is that there's a lot of people who are coming forward and talking about that workplace environment and also their interactions with Ellen DeGeneres. So, you know, both things can be true. She could have treated him and his family great and treated other people not so well. Right, right. I mean, just like, you know, our workplace, I don't think there's anybody that can say, I'm not going to say I don't think there's nobody that can say I treated them bad. You, on the other hand, you bully me all the time.
Starting point is 01:02:59 How are they going to say you? I can say that you treated me bad. No, I say you bully me all the time. You treat me bad. Dramos, is that right? Yeah, he's a big bully. A lot of people don't know that. No, I say you bully me all the time. You treat me bad. Dramos, is that right? Yeah, he's a big bully. A lot of people don't know that. No, he's a big bully.
Starting point is 01:03:09 He said, ye's a big bully. No, you're a big bully. He said, he's a big bully. He said, ye's a big bully. See, that's the problem, man, with being a woman today. If you have to stand up for yourself, all of a sudden you're a bully. See? I see you bullying me now.
Starting point is 01:03:23 I'm the only woman on the show, the only woman in the room. This is how I get treated, for speaking up for bully. See? I see you bullying me now. I'm the only woman on the show, the only woman in the room. This is how I get treated for speaking up for myself. See that? I'm getting bullied now. See, now I got to say sorry. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:03:31 So now you're getting, all right, anyway, Katy Perry also came to, that didn't go the way you thought it would. Katy Perry also came to Ellen DeGeneres' defense and said,
Starting point is 01:03:40 I know I can't speak for anyone else's experience besides my own, but I want to acknowledge that I have only ever had positive takeaways from my time with Ellen. And on the Ellen show, I think we all have witnessed the light and continual fight for equality that she has brought to the world
Starting point is 01:03:53 through her platform for decades, sending you love and a hug, friend. And speaking of love, Tiffany Haddish has confirmed what I felt like we already knew. She is dating Common. Now, she recently did an interview with Steve-O on his Wild Ride podcast and said this. I feel more confident in me. And it's not him that's doing it, but it's like...
Starting point is 01:04:14 You're just happier. I guess... Stable. Yeah, way happier. And it's like knowing that I got somebody that cares about me that really has my back. It seems like he does anyways. I believe it. I love it.
Starting point is 01:04:25 I love him. I'm happy she's in love, man. Love is a great thing and I'm happy she's in love. Yeah, they've been quarantined together and when I went to Dave Chappelle's summer camp, they were there together and very cute with each other the whole time. It seems like they were having a great time.
Starting point is 01:04:42 That's dope and it's a real thing. It's not like some put it on for the public. You can see it behind the scenes when cameras aren't rolling. Absolutely. All right. And speaking of which, the baby has a new song out. And on this song, he actually name drops Danny Lay. Now, I know that there were allegations and rumors and pictures of the two of them together.
Starting point is 01:05:03 They hadn't really confirmed that they were dating. Well, here in this clip, the baby did name drop her specifically. That was cute. field to get into going in the fair basketball court i'm gonna go in nba r&b freak i try to fuck every day curly head jinky bitch it might be danny lay who did he just say that you probably need to play back that was cute are they still dating uh looks like she's not anymore i don't know i can't say maybe they'll get back together but that song is called go and it's from the deluxe edition of his blame it on baby album so there's 10 new songs that are officially available on that album that's the only bad thing with this industry. If you're dating somebody and you put them in a song and then all of a sudden it doesn't work out, what do you do in that situation?
Starting point is 01:05:49 Do you change the name? Do you take the name out? Or are you just leaving it and say, F it? Karuchi. Or Karuchi or even YG. YG and Kalani did the same. Yeah, it sucks. But you know, she did post that she was single and Bow Wow had slid into those mentions.
Starting point is 01:06:04 She said, I'm the best girlfriend. She said, I'm loyal, loving, motivating, a woman of God, a family girl, a freak, a woman of God. I'm funny. I'm jiggy, hardworking. I ain't boring. She said, bitch, I'm perfect. There you go. And speaking of couples, Dr. Dre's wife is challenging their prenup in their $1 billion divorce battle.
Starting point is 01:06:22 She said she was afraid to sign it and she felt pressured to sign when she was asked about signing the prenup. Nicole Young stated that, I was extremely reluctant, resistant, and afraid to sign. I felt backed into a corner. Given the extraordinary pressure and intimidation by Andre, I was left with no option but to hire a lawyer, of course, with the help of Andre's team of professionals
Starting point is 01:06:40 and unwillingly sign the agreement very shortly before our marriage. She said that two years into the marriage, he acknowledged that he felt ashamed. He had pressured her into signing that premarital agreement and he tore up multiple copies of the agreement in front of me. Since the day he tore up the agreements, we both understood that there was
Starting point is 01:06:55 no premarital agreement and that it was null and void. That's not true, though. You can't just tear up an agreement and say it didn't exist. Yeah, you can't do that. And then this is another thing. How long have they been married? They've then this is another thing. How long have they been married? They've been married for a while. How long have they been married? Like 20-something years. How do you go back from 20-something years and be like,
Starting point is 01:07:12 hey, I felt pressure 20-something years ago? I don't understand. I thought a prenup is something that you do with your lawyers, you sign, and that's it. It's in stone. They got married in 1996, so that's 24 years. But my thing is also this, right? You can't just tear it up and say now it doesn't exist. You have to do another agreement to amend that agreement.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Correct. And I thought she was an attorney, right? Oh, I don't know. I thought she was an attorney. Okay. But I can say that I'm sure that people do feel pressured into signing prenups, especially when they present it to you. We've seen that happen on multiple occasions.
Starting point is 01:07:44 So I don't know what their real situation is, but I would think you would know you got to still do some type of amendment. You can't just say rip it up. It doesn't exist. Are you going to get a prenup when you get married? Would you? I don't know. I haven't ever thought about it. Probably. Okay. I got a lot of stuff.
Starting point is 01:08:00 I would have did a prenup, but I would have nothing because Gia had all the money when we got married. I didn't have nothing. Yeah, you ain would have nothing because Gia had all the money when we got married. I didn't have nothing. Yeah, you ain't have nothing to protect. No, I didn't have nothing at all. I had a blue, a bright blue minivan. All right. You'd be mad
Starting point is 01:08:15 if you had to give that up, though. I'd have been pissed off. When you got $30 million, someone wants half, it's all good. When you have $30,000, and if she wants half, it's a different story. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Report. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee.
Starting point is 01:08:33 Now, don't forget, next hour, Ask Yee is coming up. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice, Yee will help you out. But up next is Donkey of the Day. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's your time to nom next is donkey of the day. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's your time to nominate a donkey of your own. Remember now,
Starting point is 01:08:50 that is how they choose. Call in now. 800-585-1051. All right, morning, everybody. Charlemagne is out. So we're opening up the phone lines and allowing you to give
Starting point is 01:09:02 anybody donkey of the day. 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's going on? It's Sean. What's up, man? Who you wanna give Donkey to? Man, I wanna give Donkey of the Day to this dude at my job, man. He showed up today and
Starting point is 01:09:17 brought a gun with him to work and was showing it to people and they fired us two last. Wow. He brought... How old is he to bring a gun to work and show it to people? Oh, I'm not sure. He's a grown man. I'm sure he's probably late 20s, early 30s maybe. Was he trying to scare somebody?
Starting point is 01:09:32 He messed me up, man. Did he have beef or problems? Was he trying to scare somebody? Why? Oh, no, we think he's mentally unstable. You know, he had made comments before about offing certain people and then, you know, showed up with a pistol. So we had to make sure that got handled.
Starting point is 01:09:47 Thank God. All right. My goodness. Thank you, brother. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Crystal from South Florida. Hey, Crystal from South Florida. Who you want to give Donkey of the Day to?
Starting point is 01:09:58 I would like to give it to the Breakfast Club. Okay. Why would you do that? Well, at this point, 2020 has been a pretty bad year, and I think the rhetoric that you guys speak about Joe Biden is dangerous, because
Starting point is 01:10:14 everything I say about Republicans, especially my friend who's one, she didn't like Trump, but she was like, he's a Republican candidate, so I'm going to vote for him. I say that all the time. I say that Republicans ride very hard for their candidates all the time and I tell people to make sure they go out and vote
Starting point is 01:10:30 and I let people know who I'm voting for, Joe Biden, so I don't think I spew out rhetoric against Joe Biden ever. No, not you. It's those other two. The other two, that's me and Charlamagne. I'll tell you what, though, I'm not just going to fall in line and follow. If I see a problem
Starting point is 01:10:45 or if I have a question, I'm going to ask. If I was a Republican, if I had a problem with Trump, I would say it. I'm a Democrat and I don't like some of the things that Joe Biden says or does, and I'm going to ask him about it. I don't have a problem with that. That doesn't mean I'm not going to vote for him. It just means I question what it is. And if you have a problem with that, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:11:01 We should always demand things from our politicians. I don't think there's any politician or president you wouldn't demand things from. But I would never tell people not to vote or not to vote for him. Right. Like I said, I am. But I can definitely say I've never heard Envy or Charlamagne really say anything good about Joe Biden at all. And he's not. There's no other option.
Starting point is 01:11:22 So it's not like at this point. That's like saying when I get to the polls. You know, interview them. It's like, how do you feel about Joe Biden? I've never interviewed him, so I don't know. And I have a lot of questions. When someone comes on here that is speaking about politics, it's how do you feel about Joe Biden?
Starting point is 01:11:39 You know, like he's so bad, but I understand he's not perfect, but the way you guys are feeling that, not Angelou, but you particularly, it's just dangerous. At this point, there are people who are undecided who are not going to vote because they're going to feel like Trump is horrible, too. So I'm just not going to vote. Yeah, no, Trump is definitely horrible. But if I have questions, I'm going to ask those questions. I'm just not going to walk into the booth and click Democrat, Democrat, Democrat, Democrat, Democrat, Democrat. I understand that my vote is powerful and I have questions.
Starting point is 01:12:07 And if people are upset with the questions that I have about a presidential candidate, I'm sorry, but I'm going to ask those questions, period. Yeah, but at this point, it's like, what is your other option? Are you going to vote for Kanye? Like, who else are you going to vote for? And listen, I also and I also have said this, and I say this repeatedly, that I think it's also important who a person has as, of course, their VP,
Starting point is 01:12:30 who else they're putting in positions of power, because it's not all about just the president. It's who's surrounding them. So I think I pay attention to that as well. But I respect your opinion, and thank you for giving us donkey today. Hello, who's this? Yeah, this is Big Brother from the Gump. What's up, Big Brother from the Gump? Who you gonna give donkey to?
Starting point is 01:12:46 I don't know why I'm talking. I wanna give donkey of the day to the entire Breakfast Club staff. Wow, what they doing? Yeah, why are we getting donkey all morning? Did y'all solicit this? I've been submitting a song to the Breakfast Club, to Angela Yee, D.A., D.J., Envy, Charlamagne Degas for months now. It is the Charlamagne Da God theme song of the future.
Starting point is 01:13:07 All right. And I think y'all should check that out. So you sent the song, and we didn't listen to it, so you're mad. So, guy, we're going to let you spit your song right now. Go. Okay. Charlamagne Tha God. He tell us how people go make it.
Starting point is 01:13:18 Black privileges, opportunity. Come to who created. No facade. I had to beat the art. Shout out to the God, Charlemagne. This one right here for you. Shout out to the gang, Charlemagne. I think that's a great love song.
Starting point is 01:13:34 Talking about me for some respect on my name. DJ Envy the way I ball with my gang. This one right here for my boy Charlemagne. Bro, I think that's a great love song. That is perfect for him.
Starting point is 01:13:47 That is a wonderful love song. I'll make sure we get it to him. I think you guys might have something, man. I see sparks in the air.
Starting point is 01:13:54 Thank you, thank you, thank you. Appreciate that. And that feels like a song that you should send, it feels like a song you should send to Charlemagne
Starting point is 01:14:00 and not us. Yeah, I think that's more of a Charlemagne thing. Yeah. I want everybody to check that out. My email is

Starting point is 01:14:52 Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Ye. Keep it real. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:15:06 Now it's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hi, good morning. This is Moni. Hey, what's your question for Yee? Good morning. Good morning, Yee. Good morning, DJ Envy. Good morning, Charlamagne.
Starting point is 01:15:21 The question, okay, I've been with my dude for almost three years now. He's 40. I'm 37. The issue is I need him to step up more to the plate in the sense of handling, like, our responsibilities. I don't have any children yet. He has three from previous relationships. He's a great father. But the problem I'm having is when it comes to our responsibility, how do I?
Starting point is 01:15:52 We've had the conversation. I know for sure he wants to marry. Well, we've talked about it. And he's asked me over and over. And I told him he is not ready. I need reassurance to say if my arms are broken or I'm disabled that you will be there. And that's where I'm in like back and forth. And I need him to really step up or else I'm out. What is it that he does do?
Starting point is 01:16:19 Let's focus on that. I want to hear what he does do. The bare minimum. Let's say we have a mortgage of 1900 he's too tight that all like baby um you know I have kids in responsibility which I'm aware I knew what I was signing up for but at the same time down the line I know that you will be there. He does not input his fair share of his responsibilities. And that's the problem I have.
Starting point is 01:16:49 See, here's the thing, right? I think that does he have it when it comes to stepping up? Because I know we're talking about finances now. He did once upon a time where he was making six figures, but something happened. He wasn't able to continue in that career path and he ended up getting something else but now he's in a more stable job so it's not as if he cannot do it now he can but you know like I'm not really asking for much I need to know like he he's going to be that one you know like like now, I'm not sure.
Starting point is 01:17:27 It's very stressful for you because especially, you know, you're putting so much into it, and you want to make sure that he's matching that minimally. Yeah, we've had the conversation, at least arguments. Right. I don't know. I don't know if he's going to. Maybe you guys, do you know his finances very well?
Starting point is 01:17:47 I do. Have you all discussed? Yeah, I'm on the account with him because he manages money poorly and he had a gambling problem. So I ended up, you know, opening an account with him to make sure that everything is being managed.
Starting point is 01:18:07 But I also feel as if like his money, like the majority of the check is not going into that account. Right. Okay. So it sounds like y'all need, maybe you guys, because sometimes people get really emotional when it comes to money, especially with their significant other. And so maybe what you need is to sit down with a financial planner. And I know they have free services. If you look for Operation Hope, I think that's a great organization and I've done things with them and their services are free and they can actually, I think sometimes it's beneficial to bring in somebody from the outside because like you said, you guys get into arguments. And I think sometimes when we deal with things like finances that we can be emotional about with someone close to us, that does tend to happen. So maybe a better idea is to
Starting point is 01:18:50 bring in somebody that can go over your finances as a couple and help you guys set the goals for what it is that you're trying to achieve. And that could be really helpful. Awesome. Awesome. Thank you so much. Thank you.. It's called Operation Hope. So look for that and they can start helping you like immediately. I think especially right now, you know, you have to approach things in a positive way. And that positivity is we have goals that we want to achieve as a couple. So how can we make that happen? And I want to make sure that we are set up for our futures and for the futures of our children.
Starting point is 01:19:24 And whatever he has going on too and financial responsibilities that he has, he needs to make sure that he's set up for that also. And he needs to know that you guys are on the same team. Well, I've told him that. I said, you know, I am your partner. I'm your, you know, I'm beside you. I'm with you, not against you. And I've done like vision boards, what we need to complete by this time, this time, this time to get all this done. And none of, none of them were, I guess, succeeded
Starting point is 01:19:54 by him. I've done all of mine, but every year towards the end of the year, like November, December, I do like a vision board for the upcoming year, what we need to get out of the way. None of them are completed. I've done all of mine. I love that you've done that. I feel you. And maybe there's just financially y'all won't match up, but I do know that our relationships with money can be so fragile
Starting point is 01:20:17 and different based on how we were raised. And so maybe he needs to change his relationship with money, and that might have to come from an outside person. Right, right. Especially from a cultural background. The man is the sole provider, but I know we're dealing with modern time and I'm not the type that's going to let a man just literally take all of his money and take care of me. But at the same time, I need to know like you are him and I don't feel I need you to be ambitious and I need to feel stable exactly
Starting point is 01:20:49 exactly well I hope you work it out and I know it's not an easy thing good luck mama thank you alright ask ye 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice, call Yee now.

You want everyone to get moist, Jay? No, no, I didn't get moist. Sorry, Jay. Wasn't for me. I'm just looking for some help, man. I just want to try to, you know, shoot some producers my way.
Starting point is 01:22:53 Like, really, that's been my main thing. The producers I've been dealing with, they've been all rap producers. They all do rap beats. But I've never really been able to find a producer that, you know, do just strictly R&B or find my 40 like Drake found his 40. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:23:09 You got to find that. Yeah, you need your partner. You need your Batman and Robin. Yeah, I'm looking. I'm like, I feel like I was LeBron in Cleveland. You know what I'm saying? When he just ain't had the right team. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 01:23:20 When he found his team. You know what I'm saying? You can't say that. Don't hate. You got to. He is hating. Don't do that. This is my dream. This is what I'm doing? You can't say that. Don't hate. You got to. He is hating. Don't do that. This is my dream.
Starting point is 01:23:27 This is what I want to do. Let me hear something else. Let me hear something else. I'm sorry. Let me hear another one. Go ahead. All right. A little more moisture.
Starting point is 01:23:35 Here we go. I'm a Capricorn. I came here to give back. Oh, I know it's good when you start speaking Spanish. Heavy sexually. bit of energy After I'm done, you're still telling me you want I met a Gemini who had a sex drive She wanted it from the front, back, left and right
Starting point is 01:23:57 Baby, I will guarantee To give you everything your body's missing, baby I heard Envy go, No, I did not. Let's stop it. I heard you. Did you like Envy? Listen, and look, and Envy.
Starting point is 01:24:15 I'm a father of six, bro. I got a big family. Been with my wife 20 years, bro. So, look, I'm a big family, man. I'm, you know, like, I'm a chef from Detroit. So, wait, so what's your Instagram page? Because I believe that there will be a lot of R&B producers listening. What's your Instagram?
Starting point is 01:24:30 I'm sure. The real J Cotton. Cotton like the fabric of our lives. The letter J? The real J Cotton. No, just J. Just J. You're going to see my black ass pop up skills.
Starting point is 01:24:41 I'm the darkest, my last name Cotton, but I'm the blackest man in the world. Everywhere I go. All right. So what's your advice for him, Ye? It says here, MFM, my black ass, love to sing. And I cook a little bit. Check out my food. I guarantee you will love it.
Starting point is 01:24:57 I have a question. Why don't I see a lot of your music on here, though? I see a lot of food. Because I've been pushing the food. Oh, I thought you were being serious about this music. I do it all. I do it all. You know what?
Starting point is 01:25:10 I'm going to say this. Jay Cotton, you need to focus. If this is really what you want to do and really what you want to pursue, you have to go a little harder at it. All I see is food on here. Food looks great, but it don't feel to me like you going super hard. People don't just make music a hobby and it happens. No, I definitely agree.
Starting point is 01:25:27 I definitely agree. But like I said, my problem been finding the right producers. I actually bought a mic. My wife just bought me a mic. I'm about to start doing the beats myself. There you go. Okay. Now that's a plan.
Starting point is 01:25:38 And you know, you can also find beats online and use people's beats and just pay them for it. They have a lot of beats you could just use online. Yeah, I'm about to start looking off into it. Like I said, I'm a pop, so I've been doing what I gotta do to take care of my family. You know what I'm saying? My food is what sells right now. The music industry kind of like
Starting point is 01:25:56 took a left. It don't really seem like it's a lot of music to be, I mean, money to be made in music, but that's still my dream. You should sing and cook. While you're cooking, you should be singing. I do.
Starting point is 01:26:07 I do. I do it all the time. All right, let me go. I'm checking out your page right now, and I hope that people who are listening, make sure you go find him, look at his page, and leave your comments.
Starting point is 01:26:18 Maybe you're a producer and you want to work with Jay Cotton. You need somebody who can sing to work with you. Man, y'all really don't know. This just made my day, man. Well, good luck, brother. And go hard, okay?
Starting point is 01:26:28 You gotta go hard or go home. Go hard, you know? Mm-hmm. Thank y'all, man. Y'all have a great day. Good luck. You just made his day, Yee.
Starting point is 01:26:36 Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. Now, we got rumors on the way, Yee? I'm not the only one who heard Ambie go, I did not say no, huh? I did not. I can't even do that. Get I did not say no huh. Yeah, I did.
Starting point is 01:26:45 I heard you. I did not. Can't even do that. Get out of here. See you bullying me. Go ahead. We are going to talk about Oprah.
Starting point is 01:26:52 She was trending this morning. I was trying to figure out why, so then I found the clip that people are talking about and it has to do with racism and white people. All right, we'll get into that next.
Starting point is 01:27:01 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk 50 Cent.
Starting point is 01:27:14 It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Now, 50 Cent is not happy with the Emmys. That's because Power wasn't nominated. He posted a picture of his butt. He said, the Emmys can kiss my black ass in slow motion. And he said, okay, here it is, Emmys,
Starting point is 01:27:38 my black ass for your consideration to kiss. F your organization. I only care about NAACP awards. Yeah, I mean, he got the right to feel that way. He has a great show on Starz and the new season of Power Book 2 starts in September. So, I mean, shout out to 50 Cent. Yeah, I think he should have been nominated for it.
Starting point is 01:27:55 And he has won at the NAACP awards for Power, but they've never even been nominated for an Emmy. Mm-hmm. All right. Now, Oprah has a new show coming out and I know you guys are going to be interested in this. It's called The Oprah Conversation. And she was talking with
Starting point is 01:28:12 several guests who admitted that they are racist. So several of the white guests on there, the episode is called Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man Part 1. And NFL linebacker Emmanuel Otto is on that show as well. And here's what she had to say about white privilege.
Starting point is 01:28:29 There are white people who are not as powerful as the system of white people, the caste system that's been put in place. But they still, no matter where they are on the rung or the ladder of success, they still have their whiteness. Now, there was one man on the show, Seth. He said that he must be racist because he's never been actively anti-racist.
Starting point is 01:28:51 And he only started realizing that now. I wonder if people will get mad at Oprah for that, for, you know, talking to, I guess, racist people. I get this. She's trending. See, OK, so racist. Here's the thing. It's not that he's an openly racist person like a white supremacist, but what he's saying is what makes him racist,
Starting point is 01:29:11 he just realizes because he's never been actively anti-racist. He considers himself to be liberal. He said now he wants to make sure that he's an advocate because it's the white people who are the ones that can actually stop racism. Right. So she, they can say that she's changed his views, right? So that's a good thing, correct? I think it's more of a white people who are not necessarily doing racist things in everyday life, but not also being an advocate. So that's what the problem is. So it's not like these people are like walking around saying white people are better than black people, but they also have not been part of the solution. So it's, so it's more of people activating. Gotcha. Okay.
Starting point is 01:29:52 You know, and then also realizing that if you're a white person, you have privilege and there's just nothing you, it's just, is what it is. And so there has been a lot of backlash for Oprah. One person said Oprah Winfrey trying to profit off of a manufactured racial divide while being a billionaire when so many people are facing eviction is the sort of nonsense cancel culture should attack. But the cancel culture mob have proven to be not so bright. So there she's trending. And that's why I even saw the story. Oprah was trending. I was like, why is Oprah trending? Because people were actually going in on her for this.
Starting point is 01:30:25 You know, and I don't understand why people like, you know, Oprah, yeah, she is a billionaire, but she does a lot for our community. But having this conversation, I just wonder if this is a good thing or bad thing. You talk to people that don't know if they're racist or not, and you talk about them using their, I guess, I don't want to say white power, but they're using their privilege. Is that a good thing or bad thing? Is that, does that help the culture? Does that hurt the culture?
Starting point is 01:30:48 Yeah. You know, it's just all so complicated. Like no matter what, there's going to, and when you address issues like this, no one is ever going to be all in agree. And some people will see it from one point of view and other people's was, we'll see it from another point of view. And there's nothing that's right or wrong. Gotcha.
Starting point is 01:31:02 I feel like, like I see people attacking Oprah and I understand their point of view, but I also see people supporting Oprah for having this conversation. So I understand both. But it's good to have these uncomfortable conversations. And when you do have conversations that are quote uncomfortable, as they've called this,
Starting point is 01:31:17 then that's what I think the response is. All right, now Elle DeBarge's sister, Bunny DeBarge, has written another book, The Kept Ones, Fame Years Volume 2 this is the first one that she did actually did really well so now she has a volume 2 and L. DeBarge is calling her out and saying it's all lies
Starting point is 01:31:36 and so I'm not sure what's in the book but he said I want to make it clear so there is no misunderstanding about this fiction I want it on the record that my sister Bunny DeBarge's books are filled with lies lies and more lies and she knows it. Who is Bunny DeBarge? You don't know the DeBarge family? I know L. DeBarge. Okay. And what's the one that everybody say that looks like me? Is that L. DeBarge? You don't look like L. DeBarge. Maybe you look like James DeBarge. Or is it a Bobby DeBarge? Yeah, you look like Bobby DeBarge. Is there a Bobby DeBarge? I don't look like L. DeBarge. Maybe you look like James DeBarge. Or is it a Bobby DeBarge?
Starting point is 01:32:07 Yeah, you look like Bobby DeBarge. Is there a Bobby DeBarge? I don't know. Well, maybe you need to read the book, but I love DeBarge. You know, that's a classic group right now. So, and if you listen to like the greatest hits of DeBarge and you'll hear some of her songs. I think she sang, what was the song? She had one song that was like a big hit that everybody sampled.
Starting point is 01:32:28 I think it was called A Dream. Yeah, Bunny DeBarge sang the song A Dream. And I know you know that song. Everybody sampled that from DeBarge. Oh, I'm mad at you. I got you. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:32:39 So yeah, so I don't know what's in this book, but that kind of made me want to read it to see what's in there. And congratulations to Zanique. She announced that she is pregnant. She was on a new show on Foxhole called The Mix, and guess where T.I. found out on that show. Listen to this.
Starting point is 01:32:54 I want to congratulate you on being the grandfather. That's all I got to tell you. Oh, my gosh. You are now a grandfather. Yeah, like, okay, okay. Whoa, whoa. You say, come again? It's me, pops.
Starting point is 01:33:08 It is a girl. Is anybody bringing my joint? My mom has been so excited with me. She's been sending me pictures of babies. She has, pops. You should check our DMs. She sends me pictures of babies every day. I will.
Starting point is 01:33:24 All right. Well, congratulations, Grandpa should check our DMs. She sends me pictures of babies every day. I will. All right. Well, congratulations, Grandpa T.I. Congratulations. I wouldn't want to find out on the show. At least tell me beforehand. I don't want to be surprised on the show. But congratulations and congratulations, T.I.

Starting point is 01:34:05 That's right. And shout out to Levi's, who was teaming up with Rock the Vote to help get as many people as possible registered and ready to vote this fall. Yeah. And, you know, we were talking about this during Donkey of the Day. And I am always telling people that you have to make sure you're registered to vote and you have to vote. And if you're not registered, you can text Levi's to 788683 to get registered. You can also find out key dates and voting how-tos from Rock the Vote. So make sure you do that.
Starting point is 01:34:31 And I always like double, triple check to make sure that I'm registered just in case anything went wrong. I'm always going online. And before I go vote, before the deadline to register, I'm always making sure that I'm registered. So make sure you do that.
Starting point is 01:34:43 Make sure you fill out the census. You know, they changed the date for the deadline for filling out the census. So it will be September 30th, I believe. So you have to make sure that you do all of that in advance. But just make sure that your vote counts and make sure that you as a person, your district, whatever you have going on, make sure that you have filled out the census so that you count as a person representing your district. All right. Well, when we come back, we got the positive notes. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
