The Breakfast Club, bitches.

The voice of the culture. People watch The Breakfast Club for like news and really be tuned in. It's one of my favorite shows to do. Just because y'all always keep it 100, y'all keep it real. They might not watch the news, but they're on Twitter. They're on Facebook. They're, you know, they're listening to The Breakfast Club. Get your ass up. Good morning, USA.

Hey, good morning, Angela Yee. Hey, good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne and Guy still not in? No. Okay. It's Monday! And it's the Monday after Super Bowl. You're still in Atlanta. I'm still in Atlanta, and I'm not going front, man.

Give Atlanta a round of applause, man. I had an amazing time all weekend long. I did so many parties, went to so many functions. And I love Atlanta. People took this the wrong way, but I don't care. I love Atlanta because it's so much black excellence. When I say black excellence, it's so great to see that the venues you eat at is black-owned. The clubs that you attend is black-owned.

The venues you go to is black-owned. You know, the hotels that you stay at was black owned. It was just amazing to see so many people that look like me doing so well. Yeah, you know, at a period of time, I almost moved to Atlanta. Oh, my goodness. I was very, very, very close, but I ended up getting this job in New York. If you moved to Atlanta, you probably would have got butt shots. No, I wouldn't.

Why would you say that? You probably would be overweight. What? I'm telling you, like, the food in Atlanta, I ate so effed up. I'm talking like banana French toast, red velvet waffles. First of all, I just want to say, I would not have gotten butt shots if I moved to Atlanta. That's a misconception at all, period. But you ain't seen nothing about the weight?

I can tell you that right now. I gained 15 pounds and I got butt shots while I was out here, so I don't know what you're talking about. Why she would have gotten butt shots? If I moved to Atlanta. I just walked in, by the way. He said if I moved to Atlanta. That sounds so crazy. First of all, shut your New York ass up who didn't grow up down south, who didn't grow up in the country, who doesn't realize

that girls have been down south thick for years. All this stuff that women are paying for now, girls down south been had, especially in south, been had. Amen. Especially in Georgia. Especially in the Carolinas. Amen. Okay, especially in Florida.

What are y'all talking about? The one thing I will say about being in New York is that I wind up walking places a lot more than I do when I go other places. Because it's set up like for you to take the train,

to do these different things where I walk all the time. And when I do go places like spend time in Atlanta, spend time in other places, I end up driving everywhere or taking a lift everywhere. Hold on, I'm confused now. I just walked in.

Y'all talking about, what are you talking about, Angelina? Not having no ass? What are you talking about? He's saying that, because I said at a period of time I almost moved to Atlanta. I got offered a job there and I was going to move to Atlanta, but then I got offered this job. So I ended up paying that. I don't know. He said if I moved there, I would have butt shots.

I said she would have butt shots and she'd be overweight. I'm very comfortable with my small butt. It's not a problem for me. I'm very comfortable. Are you saying that the women down south are overweight, sir? No, I'm saying the women are very thick, but they serve so much good food. I see anybody gaining weight. I gained 10 pounds since I was here. Absolutely.

I grew up... Turn your mic on. I don't know. Yeah, why is that? Your mic's off. Your mic's off. Turn your mic on. What? What's wrong with me? I don't know. Okay, your mic's off. There we go. There you go. Oh, yeah. There you go.

Yeah, we got you. I grew up down south. I'm not overweight. You were overweight a couple years ago. Yes, you were. You were a little butterball. A couple years ago, I was here, sir. And you were a butterball head.

You want to show the pictures? No. The food is different. Okay. I was never a butterball, but the food is different down south because a lot of it is real. I don't know, but it's amazing. Back in the day, yes.. But the food is different down south because a lot of it is real. I don't know, but it's amazing. Back in the day, yes.

The food is great. But anyway, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, of course, we are going to talk about the Super Bowl. If you guys were watching yesterday or protesting, we'll fill you in on what happened with that. But also, let's discuss Brooklyn. We'll discuss what was happening in Brooklyn that ended up with Yandy getting pepper sprayed by guards in New York City. Okay.

All right. We'll get to that next. And let me shout out to BQE. It's a restaurant that I ate at a couple times that I was down. I actually seen the game there as well. The staff was amazing. And thank you guys for holding me down. We had such a great time.

Shout out to Atlanta. All right. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news.

Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with the Super Bowl. The New England Patriots have won 13-3 against the Los Angeles Rams. Are you allowed to report on the Super Bowl? I thought everybody was boycotting. I'm letting you know what's going on. It doesn't look like everybody boycotted that. I know.

MV's in Atlanta right now. I saw letting you know what's going on. It doesn't look like everybody boycotted that. I know. Emerson Atlanta right now. Everybody, I saw a salute to Colin Kaepernick. I saw his lawyer say that the performers at the Super Bowl were crossing the intellectual picket line. I'm like, isn't everybody that's down there crossing the intellectual picket line as well? I thought he was still trying out for a team or something like that. Aren't the players crossing the intellectual picket line as well?

Like, I mean, you know, you still want to play in the league. Isn't that crossing the intellectual picket line as well. Like, I mean, you know, you still want to play in the league. Isn't that crossing the intellectual picket line? Yeah, it did feel like it was a shame watching the Super Bowl halftime show in Atlanta. Maroon 5 performed. Not a very exciting performance. And then Travis Scott came out and did a song, and so did Big Boy. But I was like, damn, it would have been nice to have, like, the representation of the true Atlanta.

Yeah, they missed the opportunity. That would have been a great opportunity. They missed the opportunity to salute Yeah, they missed the opportunity. That would have been a great opportunity. They missed the opportunity to salute the Atlanta music scene. I didn't see the Super Bowl, though. I was at my daughter's cheerleading competition in Atlantic City all weekend. I was there until 9 o'clock last night. I saw nothing. I fell asleep.

I didn't see no commercials, no halftime show, no nothing. All right, well, it was Tom Brady's sixth Super Bowl win, so congratulations to him. He's the best. He's the best. He's the best. He is the best. There's no argument. He is damn near the best.

He is the best. Dropping the clues bombs for the GOAT Tom Brady. The GOAT Bill Belichick. Now Meek Mill. Bill Belichick went to my college, by the way, to Wesleyan University. Meek Mill tweeted out, don't address me about no Super Bowl-ish. I've really been beat by police in real life. I know what the F I'm doing and what I represent.

Yeah, I mean, there's some people who feel like you can't play both sides of the fence. I don't know if I happen to be one of those people. I think that what Meek Mill's doing with reform, like he's showing improvement through actions and deeds. If he wants to go watch the game, I don't care. If you can get people to donate money to a great cause, because I think you've brought attention to something, right, Colin Kaepernick? Did bring attention to a problem that we have. Now let's figure out things that we can do to help get that issue straightened out and better moving forward. And should Meek not be with guys like Robert Kraft?

Because Robert Kraft is pro-Trump and Robert Kraft is an NFL owner. But Robert Kraft also donated. But did Meek always be with Kaepernick too? So I don't know. He's supporting for him, yeah. And you also said he wants to come on the show too. I spoke to him Saturday. Robert Kraft also donated. But he's supporting him for him. So I don't know. He's supporting him for him, yeah. And you also said he wants to come on the show too. I spoke to him Saturday. Robert Kraft, right? Yeah, Robert Kraft said he wants to come on the show. Yeah, Michael Rubin told him that he needs to come on the show. I saw

Michael Rubin also. I know you did too. And he was discussing how this Breakfast Club interview was great for him. Really? Yes. And Robert Kraft wants to come on now. Did Robert Kraft end his conversation with you by saying MAGA? No, he didn't. Oh.

All right. Now let's discuss a white Detroit police officer who has been demoted. This was disgusting. He posted a Snapchat video after he impounded a black woman's car and made derogatory comments about her. He also posted that Snapchat video with those captions saying celebrating Black History Month and what black girl magic looks like. They impounded her car. It was two degrees in Detroit that day. Polar vortex. And here's what he said. Walk in the cold.

Bye, Felicia. Priceless. So they videotaped her on Snapchat walking away in two degree weather. Bye, Felicia. Priceless. Digital attention economy is ruining everybody's brain. You're a cop. You're on duty. Priceless. This digital attention economy is ruining everybody's brain. You're a cop. You're on duty. That's crazy.

It's two degrees out the jail. Really have to impound this woman's car and make her walk home? For her safety. And even if you did, you wouldn't drive her home. You know, it's two degrees. You know, she can get frostbite. You know, she could possibly die. Now, they said they did offer to drive her home, and she turned it down,

and I can't blame her. That might be a terrible situation. You don't know what could end up happening. Listen, you're absolutely right on everything you're saying, but I need to go see this police officer's account and see what other stuff he be posting. Alright, well let me tell you something. He's an 18-year veteran. He's been demoted so far and reassigned as

they investigate, but he does have a history. He was charged in 2008 with physically attacking his ex-girlfriend and firing a gun near her head. Oh yeah. He took a plea deal on a misdemeanor. He got probation and he was allowed to stay on the force. After that, seems like he has a history of doing disgusting things. His name is Officer Gary Steele.

Let me see his picture again. Let me see. What does he look like? Let me see. Oh, you don't have it? Okay. Sounds like MAGA, though. Yeah, he's definitely white, though.

Yeah. Okay. And, you know, to close it out, they were protesting at the Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center where inmates had been without electricity and heat for days where it was freezing out. That's when it all started. The power went out. People hadn't been able to visit their kin inside for days.

And so finally, they supposedly have some power back on. But things got really bad out there. We'll talk about that in the next Front Page News. Yeah, salute to Mison, Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour, Donna Hilton. They be on the front. Yandy Smith. Yeah, Yandy Smith. Yandy was out there. They be on the front lines, man, making things happen., salute to Mison, Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour, Donna Hilton. They be on the front. Yandy Smith. Yeah, Yandy Smith. Yandy was out there.

They be on the front lines, man, making things happen. So salute to them. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now.

Maybe you had a bad weekend, horrible weekend, and you just need to vent. Or maybe you had a great weekend. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It is now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? What's up, Andy? Trav. Hey, what's up, Trav? Hey, what's up, G? Hey, Trav. How you doing, boo? What's up, Charvy? Trav! Hey, what's up, Trav? Hey, what's up, you?

Hey, Trav. How you doing, boo? What's up, Charlamagne? What up, sis? How you? I'm doing good. I'm doing good. I saw what your boy Kevin Hart was doing after the game.

What's Kevin Hart doing after the game? I didn't see. I saw Michael Rubin posted him. Take a look at it. Oh, I thought he was going around the city smacking gay people in Atlanta or something. No! What?

Stop it, Trav. He was up here with Kevin Hart, too. Don. No. What? Stop it, Trav. He was up here with Kevin Hart, too. Don't front. No, I'm just joking. But listen, I want to talk about 21 Savage real quick. And then that ties into Demi Lovato. Okay.

Okay. So, everybody know what happened with 21 Savage? No, everybody may not know. It just happened yesterday. Fill us in, Trav. Oh, okay. So, 21 Savage, Trump sent ICE to go pick him up yesterday. We don't, Trav. Oh, okay. For 21 Savage, Trump sent ICE to go pick him up yesterday.

We don't know if Trump did that. Allegedly, 21 Savage is an illegal immigrant. Right. His visa was like, he overstayed his visa.

Allegedly, he moved here when he was in 2005 when he was 12 years old. And that's why he's saying, oh, he's not from Atlanta. If I moved to Atlanta

when I was 12 years old and I'm 26 now, that means I can claim Atlanta. First of all, 90% of the rappers that are from Atlanta ain't really from Atlanta. If I moved to Atlanta when I was 12 years old and I'm 26 now, that means I can claim Atlanta. First of all, 90% of the rappers that are from Atlanta ain't really from Atlanta. Okay?

And everybody be like, oh, well, if he's so real, why didn't he tell us he's from the UK? I'm like, obviously he knew he wasn't supposed to be here.

Yeah, he's an immigrant. But if you Google him, it says that he's from the UK on his page. I think they just changed it. They just changed that. They just changed that, yeah. Yeah, they changed it

that quick yesterday. But my whole thing is that everybody was making jokes. So then Demi Lovato chimes in. Oh, they killed her. And they ran her off of Twitter and they made her delete her Twitter

because they started going in on her saying, oh, you think it's funny that black people have to get deported? And it's like, come on, yo. Everybody was making jokes. Everybody was making jokes.

Yeah, but you know when you're a celebrity and you make a joke, it feels different. Here's the thing. They started calling her a crackhead, telling her that she did, she did, she almost died. That wasn't nice, yeah. Trav, Demi Lovato should not throw stones in a glass crack house, okay?

You stupid. You stupid. Goodbye. Bye, Trav. Trav. Hello, who's this? This is Chandler from Columbus, Ohio. How y'all doing?

What's up, Chandler? How are you? Get it off your chest. First off, I want to say Bow Wow's a fool. You need to leave that girl. Ain't no poom poom that good to get beat up over. That's not true. And then, too, I just wanted to say you don't always need money to start up schools.

My dad started a school, which is pre-K through 12 called Afrocentric in Columbus, Ohio. It's been around since 97. Nice. The hospital, just Children's Hospital, we got one of the biggest ones. They just bought their property, so they had to buy them a whole new school that was $50 million. Nice. It's an all-black school with

black studies, and it's been around since 97. I love it. That's dope. You don't always have to have money just to have a school. Just wanted to put that in y'all's eyes. Okay. And our eyes? And our ears. And our head.

You know what he meant. Put it in my mouth. I'll figure it out. There you go. Wow. You had a good time. Afrocentric in Columbus, Ohio. What's the name of the school so we can shout them out? He time. I'm Afrocentric in Columbus, Ohio. My dad started it. All right, what's the name of the school so we can shout him out?

He just said it. Afro. Afrocentric. Afrocentric. Afrocentric. Now, I'm not the highest grade of weed in this country, but I bet y'all got a lot of black students at that school. Nothing but black students.

He said all black students. Y'all not listening to him. Thank you, Chandelier. Chandelier. Chandler's his name. We call him Chandelier every time he calls. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right

You know what he meant. It's all these days in a year, man. Why my girl had to change her lace around Super Bowl Sunday? She changed it on Super Bowl Sunday? On Super Bowl Sunday, man. Not Freaky Friday, not Steaky Saturday, but Super Bowl Sunday. She wanted to look good for Tom Brady.

Man, f*** Tom Brady. No, you can't say that. Tom Brady beat me out, man. I'm so disappointed right now, man. What has that got to do with you, though? I'm confused. I'm mad because I had to help her. Oh, so you had to bring that wheelbarrow in, take that helmet off her head, put it... So did you...

You had to, like, help cut the strings and everything? I was cutting thread and all that. Woo, okay. I know that's a long process. You a good man. That's a long process. I'm a good man. Did you tell her how dumb she look with her lace front?

Why would she look dumb? I told her Mika ain't feeling her right now. I said, Mika, I just sliding back all over the ground. What if she just said to you Mika already hit though so he good? Oh, then me and Mika had them drink problems.

But let me ask you this. You like how she look with her lace front, right? Not right now, I don't. Well, because she took it out? What? What? The bonnet is killing her

right now. Oh my gosh. For real. The bonnet is killing her. Me, please. Get her some weave tips, please. Oh my goodness. All right, bro. Thank you for calling. The bonnet is crazy.

All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us at any time. We got rumors on the way? Yes. Let's talk about Bow Wow. We saw some pictures over the weekend of the results of him getting into a fight with his ex-girlfriend.

We'll give you the details and see what you think about that whole situation. Somebody put their paws on Bauer? Mm-hmm. Oh, you didn't see the pictures? I did see the pictures. Yeah, not pretty. Mm-mm-mm. All right, we'll get into that next.

You don't put your hands on anybody. Keep your hands to yourself. Rumors on the way. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Bow Wow. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. The rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. So Bow Wow was arrested for battery, and that was on his ex-girlfriend, Kayomi Leslie.

She was arrested as well. Her real name is Leslie Holden. What did she get arrested for, battery? Same battery charge that Bow Wow got. And you can see Bow Wow's mugshot. He has scratches on his forehead. They're pretty deep scratches, too, it looks like. Yeah, one of them looked like they got batterized more than the other.

He got a mark below his eye. There were some visible injuries on her as well, but they were minor. Bow Wow looked like he got jumped by two dudes screaming, this is MAGA country. Now, Bow Wow's lawyer released a statement. Shad Bow Wow Moss was wrongfully arrested earlier this morning for the first time after being beaten by an out-of-control intoxicated female, Ms. Leslie Holden, in an Atlanta condominium. The only two independent witnesses both corroborated his version of events, indicating that Ms. Holden was simply out of control

and was without a doubt the primary aggressor. For no logical reason, officers arrested both parties despite having clear-cut evidence that Bowell was the victim in the case. She beat him with a lamp, bit him on his side, and spit on him while Bowell continually made efforts to avoid her. It's obvious that she was the aggressor. I mean, you can look and tell that's one of those situations where he's trying to hold her back and he's getting scratched up in the process.

Right. But we don't know that. We don't know what happened in that situation. We don't know exactly what happened, but I will say... If he's the aggressor, he can't punch. Women should never put their hands on a man just like a man should never put their hands on a woman. That's a fact. Correct.

And even, you know, I do respect the fact that... I know everybody's making fun of him and he has these visible marks, but I can respect the fact that he tried to avoid her, did not attack her back or as far as we know. We don't know what happened. We don't know exactly what happened, but I don't agree with the fact that, you know, we should be making fun of someone who tried to potentially avoid a situation. They make a joke because it's Bow Wow. It takes a strong man to be able to restrain himself when he's being attacked. Yeah, they make a joke because it's Bow Wow. It takes a strong man to be able to restrain himself when he's being attacked. Yeah, they make a joke

because it's Bow Wow and Bow Wow's historically been a punchline and it's a double standard when it comes to men and women in this country. As much as we scream we need equality,

we all know some things between men and women will never be equal and physical strength is definitely one of them. All right, now, Blueface has been arrested for gun possession.

According to law enforcement sources. We saw a video of him getting arrested. He was in downtown L.A. on Friday. Cops heard there were rappers in the area carrying large amounts of cash and wearing lots of jewelry and that there were robberies by gang members in that area. So cops were worried that the rappers were easy targets. So they came to protect Blue Face. Yeah, they said when they rolled up, Blue Face and his posse scattered

and they tossed their guns away as they fled, and he was apprehended. They found that the guns were loaded, so he was booked for felony possession of carrying a loaded firearm, and he was released on bail. I mean, not bail. Blueface can't afford armed security yet? He don't have homeboys who can carry the guns, and he stay clean since he's the rapper now? I guess not. Okay.

Not yet. All right, DJ Khaled has posted an update on his weight loss program on Weight Watchers. Okay, laugh if you want, but he's lost a lot of weight and it looks good. How much he lost? He was 293. Now he's 253. So he lost 40 pounds already. That's great.

His goal is 250. He said, I'm not racing. I'm not speeding. I'm cruising. Well, drop on a clues bomb for DJ Khaled. Finally, after being a member of Weight Watchers for three years and the last year of the contract you decided to finally

lose weight. Did you take a turn? It looks good. It looks good. Good job, Khaled. I'm happy for Khaled because there was a point in time

I'm looking at Khaled he's on the elliptical every day he's in these Weight Watchers commercials and he was the same shape. He was still built like a twit egg.

Look, it's not easy as we all know. It's not easy. There you go. Alright, now Nicki Minaj has a fifth album coming out and she put out some freestyles that I'm sure you might have heard over the weekend. So here is part

of Nicki Minaj's Drip Too Hard. This is her Barbie Drip freestyle. What you think? Barbecue. I just asked what Nikki was doing last week. I mean, Nikki can rap. We know that. But why don't New Yorkers say good morning? Huh?

I don't know. I say. That's all you got out of that? Yes. She asked you how you like that. And that's all you got out of that? Why don't y'all say good morning? I say what's up.

Is there a reason? What's up? In the morning? Yeah. What's up? See, that sounds like a threat in New York. Early in the morning, what's up? What you mean what's up? What's up? I don't know. People in New York, we aren up? See, that sounds like a threat in New York. Early in the morning, what's up? What you mean, what's up?

What's up? I don't know. People in New York, we aren't raised to really be polite like that. No, not too nice. We don't make eye contact either. Jesus Christ. All right, now here's another snippet from Barbie Going Bad. She's going over the Going Bad Meek Mill and Drake collaboration.

It was just back to back like Wimbledon. Now you all the way back up in the Bentley, dawg. I turn lemons into lemonade, simply, dawg. Oh boy, yeah, my brother tried to end me, dawg. I heard they looking for the Omi. A couple of you to end still Omi. You asked for the joke, so they sent me, please. Trying to lay low, don't tempt me, please.

30 in the clip will be empty, please. You bitches for my sons Learn your A's and B's Lead a hate train In the station, please I was in the court No J's and B's Made a change of mind

In the judge chamber, sleaze My only problem with those records Uh-oh. If I can offer some Here we go. Critique without sounding like a member

of the hate train. It just sounds like she's tracing and not drawing, meaning Nicki has a unique flow. I would like to see what Nicki's energy would have done to those records as opposed to rapping just like Drake and Meek did

on that song and like Lil Baby did on Drip Too Hard. That's all I'm saying. Well, it's just her freestyles of other people's beats. It's just freestyle. I thought it was dope. Yeah, just having fun. Get another buzz going.

Nobody did. Nobody asked. Yes, you did ask I thought it was dope. Yeah, just having fun. Get another buzz going. You know what I'm saying? Nobody did. Nobody asked. Yes, she did ask me. Who said that? The first one you did. I didn't ask you for this one. She said, what did you guys think? And she said it on the first one.

And here's a little bit more of Nicki Minaj. And here she's talking about being blackballed on Barbie Going Bad. I might drop a freestyle every week till the thing thing come. The label hit me, said is Charlamagne talking. Did she say Envy in the beginning of that? Listen, you know I got love for you, Nikki.

No, she didn't. Shut up. Nikki, I got mad love for you. I want to tell you something. Really? I'm telling you in front of the world, DJ Envy is the only DJ blackballing you. Wait, play the beginning of that again because I feel like she said something. Envy. It sounded like she shouted him out as a blackball.

I might drop a freestyle, Envy. Envy, see? Yes. She said every week. I might drop a freestyle, Envy. Nikki, I'm not even joking with you. Envy, say what you said off the air. I said, I thought I was the only one that didn't play her record.

That's right. I mean, I think every other DJ has played her record, but. That's a shame. You're both from Queens. That is whack, Envy. They squashed out their beef. No, it wasn't whack. She went at DJ Self and said she was going to get him beat up, and I thought that was whack.

It is February 4th, Black History Month. You have no reason to be blackballing Nicki Minaj. I'm not blackballing Nicki. I'm good with Nicki. They squashed their beef. That's all I wanted. I wanted them to squash their problems. Put some't... I'm good with Nicki. They squash their beef. That's all I wanted. I wanted them to squash their problems.

Put some Nicki in the mix this morning. Rep for Queens. Okay. All day. No problem. Throw one of the freestyles in the mix.

Do the little play play drip too hard then throw the Nicki verse. All right, I'm Angela Yee and that's your rumor report. Okay, do the Serato.

Y'all still use Serato? Yes. Okay, do the Serato. Put some Nicki in your Serato. What is this thing you're doing with your hands? I don't know.

These magic finger hands. I don't know. These magic finger hands. I don't know why. Why are you doing that? It's like a typewriter. Oh my goodness. I don't know. All right. We got front page news.

Next one we talk about. We are going to talk about the detention center here in Brooklyn. We'll tell you what happened there as inmates had to go without any power, without any heat during the freezing cold temperatures. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front-page news. Now, did you guys watch the Super Bowl over the weekend? No, I was at my daughter's cheerleading competition in Atlantic City all weekend. Funny you say that because, you know,

they made history with male cheerleaders in the Super Bowl for the first time for the Rams. Yes, they made an announcement about it at the cheerleading competition. Really? I think, don't quote me on this, but I think one of the cheerleaders may have come through this program. I think. Okay. I'm not sure. Alright. Well, the Patriots beat the Rams 13-3.

Congratulations to the Patriots. Alright. Now let's talk about the Virginia Governor, Ralph Northam. He's refusing to step down, even though some pictures have surfaced where they believe that he was in blackface. Now, at first, he apologized for being in blackface. He said, I'm deeply sorry for the decision I made to appear as I did in this photo and for the hurt that decision caused then and now. But now he's saying that it's not him at all. Now, in the picture, there's two people, one in blackface and the other is dressed in a Ku Klux Klan robe. It's not clear exactly who

these people are, but it does appear in his yearbook and on his, you know, and the school did say that it was an authentic photo and it was in the medical school yearbook page. So here is what he has to say now. I recognize that many people will find this difficult to believe. The photo appears with others. I submit it on a page with my name on it. Even in my own statement yesterday, I conceded that based on the evidence presented to me at the time. The most likely explanation that it was indeed me in the photo. My belief that I did not wear that costume or attend that party stems in part from my clear memory. Now listen, it was on your page in your yearbook,

and now you're saying at first you apologized, now you're saying it's not you? You can't say it's a clear memory if you don't even remember if you were in the picture or not. Now he said he did not buy a copy of the yearbook, that's why he hadn't seen that page or that photo in question. And he also says he would not have forgotten taking that photo. But he did say that he did darken his face with shoe polish for a Michael Jackson impersonation contest. You would not darken your skin if you were trying to impersonate Michael Jackson. Knock it off.

Oh, my gosh. Here's the thing. People grow. People evolve. We all did things when we were younger we regret that were harmful. Our views can change, our rhetoric can change. Don't lie. But a political position of power is not

a place for someone who may have once been a racist. You can outgrow a lot of things, but I can't trust you in this position to be a governor to all people if you used to be a racist. And how are you going to say that's my page and my yearbook, but that's not me after you apologized? What was that? Yeah, you should have started with that one. You should have started with it.

It wasn't me. All right. Now let's talk about these protests outside of Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center. Inmates have been without electricity and heat for days. Sean King first posted this, and that's when it got major attention. Oh, my God. He said the federal jail right here in Brooklyn where temperatures are below freezing, the heat and electricity have been turned off since Monday. 1,600 men are there.

That is them right now banging and making noises so people outside can hear them. Men are getting sick and are freezing. The only thing working since Monday

are small emergency lights. This is a gross human rights abuse. One guard just told me he just took the temperature inside and it's 33 degrees in there. They said that

some of the inmates were urinating in cups and using the urine for heat. Is that crazy that it was that cold? That's horrible. You can't treat people like they're not human beings. Oh, he was already some resourceful folks. I never even thought about that. You think about how warm urine is? You should not have

to do that. Now, Yandy Smith-Harris is one of the people outside, and here she is protesting. If you received the warmers that were sent, bang. Silence. That is unacceptable. It's a problem. Now, let me ask the question in reverse. If you have not received the blankets, You see that? That's crazy. Unacceptable. Unacceptable. They did not just apply it.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but that facility is for people who are awaiting trial. So they haven't even been found guilty yet. Or I know somebody who was there and I think they were about to get released. So it was like towards the end before they ended up going on house arrest toward the end of their sentence. I thought it was one of those facilities where they hold you until you're awaiting trial. So if that's the case, they haven't even been found guilty yet. So you essentially got possibly some innocent people in there. Right, exactly.

It doesn't matter, though, if they're innocent or guilty, though. Yeah, it shouldn't matter. You should still have some heat. I mean, people could die. All right, now, Yandy also ended up getting pepper sprayed by guards, and here's what happened. I just got pepper sprayed and thrown on the floor. Y'all know I'm not violent.

I did not do anything wrong. I just asked, why don't they have heat? Now, Meek Mill tweeted out, that was just normal. Anybody who was ever locked at a house of corrections knows about being locked in a cell on a 100-degree night with no air conditioning, real slavery-type stuff. I was there. I know they don't care. And FYI, the pepper spray, man, that comes with

being on the front line to protest. And you know, back in the day it was water hoses, billy clubs, dogs. It comes with the territory. That's why you gotta salute people like Andy and my son and Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour and Donna Hilton. They be on the front lines all the time. Well, they actually walked in the building. What happened was one of the women heard her son and then

they pulled her son away from the window and she went in the building to find out what happened and they all went in to find out what happened. It was like maybe 50, 60 of them inside and they were asked to leave and they wouldn't leave so they pushed and pepper sprayed them. That's what happened and threw them out. All right, well, the lights are back on.

So that happened yesterday around 4 o'clock. Is the heat back on? I guess if the electricity's back on. But I was told the electricity was back on, but the heat wasn't. Yeah, that's what they were saying. But I was told the electricity was back on, but the heat wasn't. Yeah, that's what they were saying. They said the air conditioner was still riding up, I believe. All right, well, we'll keep you updated on that.

Bang on the windows right now if the heat's not back on. Shut up, Charlamagne. You guys are so stupid. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Front Page News. All right, now, when we come back, let's talk Bow Wow a little bit. Why? All right. What you mean why?

805-85-1051. He got arrested over the weekend for domestic violence. It was domestic violence, right? Yeah, they both got arrested, actually, both him and his ex-girlfriend. So let's open up the phone lines. Why don't people take Bow Wow serious or men serious when this happens? Because there were memes. People were joking Bow Wow. Well, first things first, we gotta

stop calling him Bow Wow. If you start calling him Shad, then maybe people will start taking him more serious. It shouldn't matter what you call him. Yes, it is. He's a grown-ass man. Stop calling him Bow Wow. Alright. It shouldn't matter. 800-585-1051. Why don't people take Bow Wow serious?

Or, you know, why people don't take men serious in this situation? All right, call us up right now. Let's open up the phone lines. 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. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking Bow Wow this morning. Now, Bow Wow was arrested over the weekend. What happened, Yee? Yes, both him and his ex-girlfriend were arrested for battery. Now, we don't have all the details, but according to his spokesperson, his rep, what they are saying happened is that he was attacked by his ex-girlfriend after she was out of control and intoxicated in an Atlanta condominium.

She was beating him with a lamp, bit him on his side, and spit on him while he tried to avoid her. So we're asking 805-85-1051, why don't people take Bow Wow serious? And when this happens to a man serious? There were so many memes, people were joking. Why don't people take it serious? Yeah, domestic violence, domestic abuse should never be a joke. And women should never think that it's okay to attack a man or put their hands on a man, just like a man should never think it's okay.

And I remember I said this before up here, and people were calling in and saying, well, then you'd never been in love if you'd never hit your boyfriend or never hit your man. And that's not love. Well, I've definitely been beat up by my wife before in our 20-year history. But it's a double standard when it comes to men and women in this country because as much as we scream we need equality in this country, we all know some things between men and women will never be equal. And physical strength is definitely one of them.

So seeing pictures where it looks like a woman got the best of a man is going to lead to them jokes. A woman is not supposed to beat a man up and that's why you're damned if you do, damned if you don't in this situation. A woman beats you up and you don't hit her, you get clowned. You hit her back, you get clowned and you lose your career. If this was the other way around, y'all would want to bow out in the pound this morning.

I respect a man who says, and this is what my boyfriend will say, his mom was like, if you ever get in a situation where you feel like you have to put your hands on a woman or she tries to put her hands on you, then you don't need to be with that person. I tell y'all all the time,

if a woman puts their hand on you, you know what you should do? Run. Run. Tall ass in the other direction. But maybe that's what Bow Wow did. She allegedly hit him with a lamp. She allegedly spit on him. I mean, his face is all scratched up.

Whoa, so you're telling me Bow Wow ran away from this girl. The girl took the lamp through it, hit Bow Wow in the back of the head. Bow Wow fell to the ground. She ran, jumped on top of him and clawed him up. See, you playing too much. You making a joke. You just said that. I don't know what happened. You just told me she got hit with a lamp.

There were two witnesses there who corroborated the story that he was trying to get away. Yes. Well, Bow Wow clearly can't run fast enough. See, you played too much. See, it's not a joke. Let's go to the phone. Bow Wow got two left paws.

This is D. This is Charleston. What's up, Charleston, man? 843, what's happening? What's going on, my boy? What's up, what's up? Hey, you guys just out here chilling? Oh, we out here chilling.

What are you saying? I don't know. What do y'all think about the Bow Wow thing, bro? What's up with you? Hey, you're out here chilling. Oh, we are. I am. You're out here chilling. What are you saying? I don't know. What do y'all think about the Bow Wow thing, bro? I think it's natural for us to laugh. I mean, it was natural for me to laugh. I laughed when I saw it. Like I told a young lady who asked for a phone, I laughed when I saw Rihanna's one. I mean, nobody, no man or no female should put their hand on one another.

Ideally, right? Yeah, but you're not supposed to laugh when you see either one of them, though. At all. Yeah, no, you're supposed to laugh at all. It's serious. Sometimes, just like you said, when you say you get, don't put your hand on nobody. Yeah, but you can't just be going around boxing them gal in the mouth now. Them gal can't box you neither.

Them gal can't box you neither. That's right. Gal in the mouth? They say Rihanna bit Chris Mowfinger or something. I ain't know nothing about Rihanna biting no finger now. Nah, that's not funny, though.

But thank you for calling, man. Hello, who's this? This is Dustin out of Fort Wayne. Hey, what's up, bro? We're talking Bow Wow, you know, allegedly getting beat up.

We're talking about why people find that funny. We saw the mugshot and we saw that he was definitely marked up, scratched up. But we don't know what happened. We don't know if he was, you know, we don't know.

Something happened, though. Something did happen, yes. Man, I feel like the reason nobody really takes Bow Wow seriously is because he's been portrayed as little Bow Wow. And when he dropped a little from his name, then maybe he was supposed to be taken a little seriously, but it still hasn't happened. I mean, it's bad that it came to this for somebody to bring up this man's name.

The man name is Shad Moss, man. And by the way, we're not even just... I'm just talking about as bow-wow terms. Everybody, you know what I'm saying? Nobody really talks about him anymore. But we're not even talking about just him in general. Do you think that we don't take it seriously when this happens to men?

Not at all. People don't take it seriously. I call it a double standard because even if... I understand men ain't supposed to hit women, but if we sit there and we call the police on the women, we get called weak because, oh, you got your butt whooped by a woman. No, I would say that was a smart thing to do so that you didn't actually put your hands on a woman and you don't end up going to jail.

Exactly. You're supposed to call the cops. You should call the cops. I would never do that. Yeah, listen, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. Like, if you don't, if you restrain the woman and you don't hit her back, they gonna clown you and call you weak. You're damned if you do, damned if you don't. If you restrain the woman and you don't hit her back, they're going to clown you and call you weak.

Who cares? That takes a strong man to have no problem with being clowned and being called weak. You're stronger than a man that's going to put his hands back on a woman. I think it's more willpower to be Jay-Z in the elevator than it is Ray Rice in the elevator. To have somebody attacking you like that in the closed quarters and not do anything, I think it takes more willpower to not do nothing.

So, yes, you're not supposed to hit a woman under any circumstances. Haul ass. Got it all. All right. Well, 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it some more. Bow Wow was arrested over the weekend for domestic violence, a domestic assault. And we're asking, you know, people were cracking jokes, making memes.

Why is it funny when it's Bow Wow? Why is it funny when it's a man? Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

If you just joined us, we're talking Bow Wow. What happened with Bow Wow over the weekend, Yee? He got into an altercation, allegedly, with his ex-girlfriend, Kiyomi Leslie. They're both on Growing Up Hip Hop. And they're both facing the same battery charge. That's all because they allegedly got into an altercation. Now, according to Shad Moss' team of people, they're saying that she attacked him,

she was intoxicated and beat him with a lamp, bit him on the side and spit on him while he tried to avoid her. Listen, there's a lot of factors that go into this as to why people don't take it serious. It's celebrity, it's Bow Wow, and it's the fact that it's a to why people don't take it serious. It's celebrity. It's Bow Wow. And it's the fact that it's a man. People don't take anything that happens with celebrities serious.

People think Bow Wow is a punchline. And when you're a man, it's a clear double standard in this country. You know, like we talk about equality, but we know that men and women are not equal when it comes to the scrimp department. So when it looks like a man, a woman got the best of a man, you're going to get them jokes. But let's go to the four lines. Hello, who's this? Ashley. Hey, Ashley.

How are you this morning? Hey, what's up, Ash? I'm doing good. How you doing? We thought you were a woman because of your name, but we forgot guys can be named Ashley, too.

Yeah, my name's spelled A-S-H-L-I. What that mean? Not with an E-Y. I don't know what it mean. Ashley, what's your thoughts on Sean Moss? Still got a girl's name.

I think once he got on Going Up Hip Hop, his whole, I mean, how he was just changed. I mean, I see him totally different once I've seen him Going Up Hip Hop. I don't know if you guys watch it, but he's a totally different person up there. What do you mean by that? I mean, you can see it coming with his relationship with her.

Like, I don't know. And when you watch the, I mean, watch how they are up there, that's all they do is just fudge. I mean, so it's like you can kind of see it coming with his relationship with her. Like, I don't know. And when you watch the, I mean, watch how they are up there, that's all they do is just fuzz. I mean, so it's like, you can kind of see it was coming. It's a toxic relationship. Right. Like, they just, like,

on the show, they just, like, they just fuzz, fuzz, fight, fuzz, fuzz, fuzz. Like, he gets drunk. Like, they just make him look like a total crazy person up there. All right.

Well, thanks, Ashley. Hello, who's this? Yes, this is Kiara. Hey, mama. Now, we're talking about Bow Wow. What did you think about that situation and the fact that people can make fun of Bow Wow and make fun of men, but it can't be the same for women? I mean, I think that's wrong because some women put their hands on men first and they

go crying when they get their eye busted. You know what I'm saying? Like, it has to be the same for men. Like, you have men out here that don't. They're right. They get clowned or they think they get talked about because they're being upstanding men. You know what I'm saying? They're not putting their hands on women. And it's wrong because this is somebody that has already had mental issues.

And then you got people clowning him for him getting his hands put on him. And if it was the other situation, I think everybody would be going crazy, of course. But it's been joked about. And I think it's, I don't think everybody would be going crazy, of course. But it's been this joke about it. I think it's, I don't like it. It's crazy to me. Right.

All right. Thank you. Did you, when you seen the picture of Bow Wow, did you laugh? Did you chuckle or you took it serious?

I didn't chuckle. No, I didn't think it was funny. Me neither. Because this man has a whole bunch of scratches on his face. Obviously,

it's not a joke. This is a legit picture that was taken of this man when he got locked up. That's a problem. And it's like he's in a lose-lose situation in that, you know, it felt like. People shouldn't be making fun of that, but they do.

All right, thank you, Mama. So what's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is everybody keep your hands to themselves. Men don't put your hands on women. Women don't put your hands on men. And if you are a guy who is a victim of domestic violence, just run. And this is one of those times Shad Moss has to silence the noise from the crowd and realize he made the right decision regardless of how many jokes social media is making.

All right. All right. When we come back, let's talk Super Bowl. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Now, shout out to everybody that was in Atlanta for Super Bowl. Of course, I'm still here. I had an amazing time. I really love Atlanta. Salute to Atlanta, man. Such a great place. A lot of women out there right now are 72 hours pregnant and don't even know it. Congratulations to y'all.

Okay, so a lot of guys about to be daddies. That's a fact. Congratulations to y'all. Yeah, I was saying, you know, one thing I love about Atlanta is it seems like there's so much black excellence. Like, every place that I went, it seems like. It's not seem like, it is. It is. That's what Killer Mike was talking about.

We own our own venues. We own our own businesses, our own nightclubs, our own strip clubs. Everything that I went to, we owned. And it was just great to see. It was wonderful to see. Well, I had a great time out in Atlanta as well. I was there from Wednesday to Saturday. I got out of there on Saturday.

But shout out to EA Sports. I did their Sports Bowl livestream alongside Terrence J. So that was really fun. That was kind of what people felt like the halftime show could have been like. You know, it was Metro Boomin with 21 Savage.

We're going to talk about 21 Savage momentarily. About Ice detaining him. Talk to my guy Terrence J. Him and Javis still together? I don't know. She wasn't still together? I don't know. She wasn't there. So I don't know if they are or not. The Migos, they had a whole quality control set.

So Trippie Redd performed. The Migos performed. Lil Baby performed. Lil Yachty performed. Lil Jon did his set. Ludacris and friends came out. He brought out Jeezy, T.I., Ciara. It was an incredible event.

Shout out to EA Sports. Drop one of the clues bombs for Lil Jon, the legend. Yeah, Lil Jon was everywhere. I saw Lil Jon doing an interview with somebody. I forgot who it was, and he was saying how he don't feel like he gets the respect he deserves. I think it was Jinx. I think Jinx asked him that. Maybe.

I don't know. I don't remember. But he said he don't get the respect he deserves, and I totally agree. Okay, Lil Jon is a goddamn legend, a whole legend that should be treated as such. And I listen to Little John every other day. Because that's my workout music. I like crunk music. I miss crunk. I miss that

whole era. So I listen to Little John and the Eastside Boys all the damn time. Okay? Yes. And shout to Jeezy, too. I went to Jeezy's restaurant. Jeezy has an amazing restaurant downtown. American Cut. Is that what it's called? American Cut, yep. Shout to the mayor, Keisha Bottoms, who opened up the city for us.

Sounded like a great circumcision. You stupid. Which was great. Shout to Michael Rubin, who invited us to his fanatics party. Fanatics party. By the way, that Michael Rubin party was poppin'. Absolutely. I saw Dr. Oz there.

He was wildin' out. That's where Meek Mill and Cardi B performed, and you saw Robert Kraft get on stage and start dancing alongside Cardi B. A lot of cocaine was in there, I'm sure. No, I didn't see no damn cocaine. And it was a day party. It was from noon until 4. And I left and went straight to the airport from there.

Noon until 4? Mm-hmm. Definitely cocaine. How can nobody do a cocaine? There was no cocaine, man. Everybody was having a good time. I seen Kevin Hart there. All those billionaires and no cocaine?

Mm-mm. Man, times have changed. All right. Oh, my goodness. All right. Yeah, we're getting ready for Rumor Report. I was going to say, we are going to talk about the Super Bowl halftime show and what Adam Levine from Maroon 5 said about his decision to play in the Super Bowl halftime show.

And we'll talk about 21 Savage and what's going on with him, things that people did not know. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye that people did not know. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk 21 Savage. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report. Rumor report. This is The Rumor Report.

Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, 21 Savage was arrested in Atlanta over the weekend. He was taken into custody, and they're saying that he could possibly be removed from the United States. Now, according to an ICE spokesperson, and this is all for immigration, they're saying that he entered the U.S. legally in 2005, but his visa expired. And reportedly, he is here illegally. So he's being held for removal proceedings for being in the

country illegally. They said he expired 14 days ago too, right? Recently. 14 years? No, he expired back in 2005, 2006. No, he got here legally in 2005. He entered the U.S. legally. And they said that his visa expired in 06. So right now

he's here illegally. Now I don't know all the details of but it said, yeah, it did say his visa expired back in 2006. He came to the states a year earlier. He was only 12 years old when he came back in 2005. So he's been here for, what, 12 to 13 years. But did he get arrested after

that or something like that? After 2006? He did get arrested back in 2014 and get convicted of drug charges. So that did happen as well. So what they're saying is he's from Dominica. That's where you're from, Envy. Yes. Which is owned by the UK, right? Yeah, UK.

I thought ICE's job was to rid the country of the criminal element, like the illegal immigrants that are bringing drugs and violence into this country. 21 isn't that, okay? But I don't know if you're here legally on a visa because I do know people who have had to do things

like get married to stay in the country even if they haven't done anything illegal. If you overstay your visa, you know, you have to make sure you do all the paperwork

or they can not let you back in the country. I'm shocked at this. This is one of those stories you see and you're like, is this for real? It sounds like a paperwork issue. It sounds like things

that had to be done in order for him to stay in the country weren't done. But did he grow up in the U.K.? I'm confused. Did he grow up in Dominicana? Dominica. Dominica?

Dominica. As far as I know, 21 has always been in Atlanta. Everybody knows him in Atlanta. Well, you know his dad. His dad went to university in the U.K. His dad? Yeah. I don't know.

Well, you do know his dad dad is, Dr. Amsu. Oh, okay. I thought that was a secret. Well, now that it's on the table. I thought you guys talked to him about it. I thought that was a secret, too. No, we didn't talk to him about it. We never mentioned it. Okay. Okay, sorry. The holistic doctor. One of Angelique's friends who comes up here all the time.

Dr. Amsu. All the time, yeah. Dr. Amsu. Amsu. Is he here legally? I don't know. Well, don't snitch on him. Don't tell on him. Goodness gracious. Well, anyway, moving on. We'll keep you updated, but I do know they were all in Demi Lovato's comments.

Angela Yee with the rumor report exclusive. Demi Lovato posted, so far, 21 Savage memes have been my favorite part of the Super Bowl. And everybody went in on her. Wale said, why is somebody freedom funny? I don't get the joke. Offset said, all the memes and ish ain't funny when somebody going through some praying for my dog ain't ish funny. His family dependent on him. And it went on from there.

She said, Wale's just salty. I never replied to his desperate tweets years ago. Wale responded, still ain't gonna disrespect you. Still praying for you, Demi. Glad you see my old tweets. Hopefully you seen the ones providing comfort and prayer when you were down. I don't kick people when they down. Go, queen. I don't understand why she thought that was okay. Now listen, it's social media.

Social media takes nothing serious, but I would think that somebody who's been in a position like her where it was a tragic, life-altering experience when she overdosed. When she had to get off social media herself. Exactly. Because of the jokes. Now, listen, I didn't understand the joke.

Am I wrong? Because she posted a picture of 21 Savage, well, a person holding a feather pen saying, this is how 21 Savage be writing his verses. Well, it's a joke about being from the UK and being British. Oh, I didn't understand it. I was like, I don't understand the joke. Dipping the feather in some ink and writing.

Now, she said, I wasn't laughing at anyone getting deported. I know that's not a joke, nor have I ever laughed understand it. I was like, I don't understand the joke. Dipping the feather in some ink and writing. Now, she said, I wasn't laughing at anyone getting deported. I know that's not a joke, nor have I ever laughed at that. The meme I posted was him writing with a feather pen. Sorry if I offended anyone. Well, she deleted her Twitter now, so it's too late to flutter with opioids. You just send her mad pictures of opioids. I don't make fun of people for their own issues as well. I'm just saying.

She shouldn't have done it. If you put that energy out there, you should expect to get that energy back. If you like the 21 Savage memes, then watch all these opioid memes that come your way. All these overdose memes that come your way. Alright, now Adam Levine, let's talk about his decision to play in the Super Bowl halftime show. Now, he posted on

his social media, when we accepted the responsibility to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, I took out my pen and just wrote some of the words that came to me in that moment, eventually made their way onto the incredible lanterns that flew high and low tonight. We thank the universe for this historic opportunity to play on the world's biggest stage. And he posted some of the words, forgive, laugh, cry, smile, share, live, endure, embrace, remember, enlighten, preserve, inspire, sweat, fight, express, give, receive, elevate, climb, unify.

He posted a whole lot of words on his social media. And here's what he had to say to Entertainment Tonight. When you look back on every single Super Bowl halftime show, it's this, like, insatiable urge to hate a little bit. I'm not in the right profession if I can't handle a little bit of controversy. We expected it. We'd like to move on from it. And like I said earlier, speak through the music.

All right. Now, he also talked about because, you know, there was no press that happened prior to the halftime. So normally there is a press conference. And here's what he had to say about that. The NFL canceled the press conference. You'll have to speak with that. We're in Atlanta. We're so close to where Dr. King was born and raised. What do you say to the folks who say that they just want to be heard? And how will your performance speak to that? They will be. That's all I want to say.

Because I don't want to spoil anything. I've never been more excited in my entire life to present this to the people because I believe that it's truly a reflection of all of us. All right. Did he do anything? I didn't see the Super Bowl. Well, I guess the lanterns that he just talked about in his he do anything? I didn't see the Super Bowl. Well, I guess the lanterns that he just talked about

in his social media page. I didn't see it. So that's the only time I heard about it. I thought it was good. It was dope. The lanterns were dope. Travis Scott,

the way they brought Travis Scott out, the way the beat changed was dope. Big Boy killed it. It was a dope performance. I haven't heard nobody talk about the Halftime Show performance.

That was a dope performance. Some people thought it was rather dull. You know. I thought it was pretty good. I was just confused. I was excited to see Big Boy perform because I did look at everything on, you know, social media afterwards. Big Boy killed it.

Yeah, so that was exciting to see him there, to see Travis Scott. But I don't know. I wasn't really. I was confused. The artists didn't want to perform at the halftime show, but they still came down here. They still did so many different other things that was involved with Super Bowl. So I don't understand what the problem was.

So why not just do the Super Bowl show? I don't understand the problem either. I mean, you know, I saw Colin Kaepernick's lawyer say that performers who performed in the Super Bowl are crossing the intellectual picket line. But I feel like I guess anybody who was down there technically was crossing the intellectual picket line. But even the NFL players?

The players who play in the game are crossing the intellectual picket line. But even the NFL players? The players who play in the game are crossing the intellectual picket line. I would like to know. But wasn't he still trying out for the NFL a couple months ago? I'm not sure. I'm just asking. I think Colin still wants to play. But then you still got, you know, guys like Eric Reid in the league, you know what I'm saying, who definitely ride for the cause.

So I don't think that those guys are crossing the intellectual picket line. I think it's a lot of nuance that goes into this whole NFL thing. I think it's important to just make sure now that we're aware of a problem and a situation, let's work on how can we rectify it. And I would love, you know, for Colin Kaepernick to tell us exactly what it is he wants. What he wants. Does he want us to not support these NFL players and teams? I would love to know what the plan is.

You know what I'm saying? Because Colin took a knee because of the injustice that people were facing at the hands of the police. But it always seems like the protest is shifted to, you know, let's protest because Colin is being blackballed from the NFL. If the NFL is a racist organization, then I would want to know why you would even still want to be a part of it. Right, he should be like, I don't even want to play in the NFL.

I denounce you. I think you gain more support by saying, look, the NFL is a racist organization. You see they don't care about us or our issues. Why do we support the NFL? I think that would make

a lot more people be like, you know what? I can't watch this league. Okay, and CeeLo had posted, yo, big, it's a big boy, yo, big, rewriting with you fam, do that ish. F these so-called protesters.

You just got a hundred million worth of press. I'll kill for you. Oh, Lord, CeeLo. No, that wasn't the statement. That didn't go over too well. All right, Amanda Legge, and that's your rumor report. Yes.

Thank you, Miss Yee. Charlemagne. Yes. Who you giving that donkey to? We need Demi Lovato to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with her. It's a teachable moment. All right, we'll get into that next.

Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Tuesday, February 5th at 9, 8 central on BET. American Soul. The untold story of Soul Train from the producers of the new edition story.

One man ignites a black cultural revolution. Sinqua Walls is Don Cornelius' American Soul. Series premieres Tuesday, February 5th at 9, 8 central on BET. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day at Jungle Man. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed place. So like a donkey. Keyhawk.

Donkey of the Day. The practice club, bitches. Now I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but Donkey of the Day is a new one. Yeah, Donkey of the Day for Monday, February 4th goes to Demi Lovato. Now, if you haven't heard, my guy, the young King 21 Savage, was arrested by ICE yesterday. Yes, ICE. That ICE. Okay, because they said 21 Savage is actually from the UK. Yes, they are saying 21 entered the U.S US legally back in July of 2005, but he never left

the country after his non-immigrant visa expired. I am still processing this situation and awaiting more information because I really don't understand what the hell is going on. All right, I'm sending positive energy to 21 Savage. This is confusing to me because I thought ICE's job was to rid the country of the criminal element, the illegal immigrants that are bringing drugs and violence into this country. 21 isn't that. Okay? I pull up with a stick and let this bitch ball cut. Swear I would have shot that cracker if I was Rosa Parks.

Okay, never mind his music. All right, listen, 21 is a good brother. All right, he cares about his community. From the first day I ever spoke to him, he acknowledged his wrongs and how he wanted to do better, and he did better, and he has always reflected the harsh realities of discreets in his music. But if you really listen to him, he had a lot of records that had socially redeeming value as well, okay? He's a good kid, and this is a whack situation because it's a situation that we see all too often from Ice.

Instead of deporting the violent criminals, they go after the immigrant couple with a five-year-old daughter in a pizza restaurant. True story. Okay, this happened to a Pakistani couple, I think it was last year. ICE ordered them to get on a plane, yeah, last March, and go back to Pakistan. They broke no laws, just overstayed their visas.

Okay, their child is an American citizen, just like 21 scallywags kids are American citizens. Okay, they've worked hard to make a living and a home here, just like young 21 did. Alright, they pay taxes here, they are homeowners here, you know, just like 21 is. So why is Ice hunting down people

with good jobs and roots in their communities and shipping them back? They've been doing that. I never will understand it. Okay? But I'm wishing the best for 21 Savage.

I dig the dude musically and personally. Now, Demi Lovato was forced to delete her Twitter yesterday because she decided to post on her Twitter this tweet.

And I quote, uh, so far, 21 Savage memes have been my favorite part of the Super Bowl. End quote. Now, the backlash from social media was swift and fierce. Because, number one, I don't understand why Demi Lovato would find her father being taken away from his family funny. Do you find it funny when ICE arrests other immigrants in this country, Demi?

Look, it's social media. Everything is fair game. If you're looking for empathy on social media or for people to be serious about anything, you're in the wrong place. But the reason Demi Lovato's situation is different because it seems like Demi is smoking rocks in a glass crack house. Demi overdosed on July 24th of

last year. In a statement that she put out, she said that she was forever grateful for the love and support throughout the past week and beyond. Your positive thoughts and prayers have helped me navigate through this time. Nowhere in there did I see what she said she appreciates the memes and jokes at her expense. I would think that someone who's experienced a tragic, life-changing situation like Demi would understand on some level what 21 is going through. But clearly she doesn't.

Now, Demi immediately started playing victim. She said, and I quote again, wasn't laughing at anyone getting deported. I know that's not a joke. Not have I ever laughed at that. The meme I posted was talking about was of him being riding with a feather pen. Sorry if I offended anyone, but it's no excuse to laugh at someone's addiction,

let alone their OD, end quote. Let me tell you something, Demi. You can't pick and choose when energy you get back once you put a certain energy out there. You can't laugh at someone else's misfortune and then tell people they can't laugh at yours. Now, I remember when Demi Lovato overdosed.

I asked the question on this hair radio, why do we as black people clown each other when tragic things happen to us but seem to have sympathy when it's the Demi Lovato's of the world? See, this is an example of why we have to be more patient with each other because we teach people how to treat us. Demi Lovato thinks she can laugh at 21 because she sees us laughing at 21.

So we have to do better when it comes to how we deal with each other. Just my personal opinion. Okay. And Demi, you got to be a reflection of what you'd like to receive. If you want love, give love. If you want truth, be truthful. If you want respect, give respect. But what you give out will always return. And that's why last night you deleted your Twitter and we're

probably looking for some oxycodone to ease the pain because at the Comic Cafe there are no menus. Okay? You will get served what you deserve. Please let Remy Ma give Demi Lovato the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw! Hee-haw! You stupid mother f***er. You dumb.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong. What is Demi Lovato? What's her ethnicity? Ethnicity? I don't know. I don't know. Let me see. I think she might not be from here. Don't just make things up now.

She better be very careful. She's American, yes. He definitely just made that up. I think she's American. Her father was of Mexican descent. But she's from here. Mostly Spanish, Native American ancestors. Came from a family that's been living in New Mexico for generations.

She was born in New Mexico, bro. All right. Okay. Hey, hey. Just got to check. Okay. It's all right. All right.

Well, thank you for that donkey today. Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Does Demi Lovato deserve the backlash? Absolutely. A hundred percent. You can't pick and choose what energy you get back when you put a certain energy.

I did love Wiley's response to her though. Cause it was very respectful. She tried to come for him and he shut her down in a very respectful manner. And I love that because it made her look crazy. Well, we'll talk about that when we come back and we'll take your calls. 800-585-1051. Does she deserve the backlash?

Everybody was doing it. She joined in. Or is it one of those things? Hey, you got a history in the past, too. So, hey, let's open up the phone lines. Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. You don't need snow to have an adult snow day. Head to eBay this winter and make the most of your money shopping eBay deals with our best price guarantee. Plus, free shipping on millions of items. If it's happening on your adult Snow Day, it's happening on eBay. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, Charlamagne gave Demi Lovato donkey of the day. Yes, I did, because she's throwing, she's actually smoking rocks in the glass crack house. And I think it's very whack for her to, you know, come at 21 Savage in a joking manner when she herself was in a situation that was life altering when she overdosed last July. But what do you think about everybody making jokes and memes? I think that...

You think Demi Lovato people came at her harder than they came at everyone else? No, I go back to what I said during Don K today. Like, you know, a lot of times we laugh at each other and we clown each other and we teach people how to treat us. Because all Demi's doing is sitting back watching us, the culture, clown on one of our own. So she feels like she can jump in. Because I remember vividly when i said that about demi lovato i said yo how come we don't clown people like her when she overdoses because

that would have been somebody anyone overdosed i'm saying but think about all of the years we call whitney houston a crackhead and bobby brown a crackhead and all his other if that but when it happened to demi lavato everybody like oh let's have sympathy and let's have empathy but when it comes to one of our own she was quick to jump in on on one of ours i just want to say i've never climbed with houston i love whitney houston now that is true everybody a lot of people clown But when it comes to one of our own, she was quick to jump in on one of ours. I just want to say I've never clowned Whitney Houston. I love Whitney Houston. Now, that is true. Everybody clowns.

A lot of people clown Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown. Bobby Brown still get clowned to this day. Absolutely. And you're right. She should know of all people because she just went through a huge breakdown with the internet and social media. No, it wasn't no breakdown. It was an overdose.

All right. She broke down on some opioids. She ended up going to rehab. Yes. And she overdosed on them. And I don't remember people going in on her On social media I also didn't pay attention

If people were going in on her or not I can't even tell you what song she sang I wasn't paying attention to Demi Lovato You don't be on Demi Lovato Twitter? No I don't I had no idea if they were going in on her or not So I can't say Pop culture Twitter don't make memes

I also don't agree with Making fun of somebody for overdosing, period, anyway. Other than that, I do agree that you should check somebody when you feel like they're being hypocritical. But as far as being nasty and rude to people and making them feel even worse when you know they're fragile already, I don't like that either. It's weird, though, because, like, Lamar Odom overdoses. We got them jokes, including me. You know what I'm saying? You definitely had jokes. We got them jokes, including me. You know what I'm saying? You definitely had jokes. People definitely had jokes.

When Demi Lovato does it, and I try to make a joke on Demi, everybody's like, oh, stop it. Don't do that. Just Demi Lovato. Why do you think that is? Why do you think that is? Because she's a woman, and she, I guess, gives off the appearance of whiteness.

I don't know. I'm being honest. That's the only reason. I can't think of no other reason why we would have empathy and sympathy. I'm not going to lie. I feel sympathetic and empathetic for anybody who overdoses. I felt that about Lamar Odom also. I felt like it was tragic and horrible.

People were laughing about Lamar Odom. Flavor Flav got them jokes historically over the years. DMX gets them jokes historically over the years. Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown, Lamar Odom. But when it comes to Demi Lovato, everybody pumped the brakes. But you see, when it comes time for somebody else to be in a tragic situation, you see how quick she flipped. Well, maybe we need to be empathetic towards everyone then. I agree with that.

That's all. With everybody. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? This is Krista from Florida. Hey, do you think Demi Lovato deserves the backlash? No, not at all. Why?

I don't think she does. Because I don't think she was laughing at the situation. She was laughing at the fact that we were all shook that he was from the UK. I don't think we even knew this fact about him. So it wasn't like she was laughing about, oh, he was getting deported. She was laughing at the fact that, oh. He's from the UK. I had no idea.

He writes with a feather pen. Right. Okay. Yes, exactly. Because everybody was talking about he wasn't shooting guns. He was shooting muskets. So I'm not sure why she was getting all this backlash. Okay, so listen.

If y'all can find humor in this situation, then I'm sure that it's comedians out there who can find humor in her overdosing. That's a comedian's job to find the funny and unfunny situation. So don't get mad if somebody finds the humor in Demi Lovato's overdose. I understand what she's saying, though. It wasn't necessarily

about him getting deported. It was just a shock of the fact that he's not from, wasn't born in Atlanta like we thought. And I'm not laughing at the fact that Demi Lovato overdosed.

I'm just laughing at the fact that she was on opioids. Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Let's talk Demi Lovato. Let's talk about it when we come back.

Do you think she deserved the backlash? Call us up right now. It's The Demi Lovato. Let's talk about it when we come back. Do you think she deserved the backlash? Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, we're talking Demi Lovato this morning.

Charlamagne gave a donkey today because of? Because she was making light of 21 Savage situation where he was arrested by ICE and he's potentially being deported. She tweeted out so far 21 Savage memes have been my favorite part of the Super Bowl. Now her problem with that is she didn't specify what she was talking about. Like there was memes making

fun of the fact that he possibly could be deported. But then did she post it? She didn't post it yet? Yeah, but that's after the fact. You know how social media works? Like you know what I'm saying? Ain't no cleanup on social media. I have more of a problem with what Tommy Lawrence said about 21 Savage.

I got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight ICE agents ready to deport you. She's disgusting. Yeah, that was whack. Yeah, but you can't. That was whack. She's disgusting.

Yeah, but here's the thing. She wants that backlash. Here's the thing, and I've told y'all this a million times. I even wrote about it in my book, Shook One Anxiety,

playing tricks on me. You can't feed that monster. Tommy Lawrence knows what she's doing. She knows exactly what she's doing. She knows exactly what she's doing. She wants exactly. That's what keeps her relevant. That's what keeps her going. Don't feed that troll.

I think the issue is that once you put something on social media, now people can't attack you because you can't even make what you might think is an innocent joke isn't to some people. And once you put it out there, you can't help that people are going to react the way that they do. And people expect more from Demi Lovato because Demi Lovato overdosed last

year and you asked for people to be kind to you. And you said thank you for your prayers. Absolutely. For holding my hand during this positive situation. Exactly. So she should know better. Let's talk to the people. 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this?

Hello, my name is Sarah. I was calling about the Demi Lovato situation. What you did? I didn't know that 21 Savage was even from the UK, but I think she deserved everything that she got from all the memes that they made about her and her drug use, which I don't think she ever quit. And I also wanted to say that I didn't even know who Colin Kaepernick was

until he took me. I'm just going to say that. didn't even know who Colin Kaepernick was until he took a knee. I'm just going to say that. What the hell Colin got to do with this? I didn't know who he was. What that got to do with this? She don't watch football. Because Charlamagne, you had made the comment that you wanted to know what

he was doing or what he was protesting against. And I felt like he took a knee because of, you know, the police. Oh my God. I have no idea what's going on with Colin Kaepernick. Charlamagne knows why Colin Kaepernick is protesting. Don't talk about your self-in-therapy. You said you wanted to know what his purpose was.

No, I said, no, that's not what I said. That's what I heard. I heard that too. That's not what I said. I said, what is his future plan? What does he want us to do? That's what I heard. No, it's not what I said. I heard that too. Stop it. I heard that too. That's not what I said. I said, what is his future plan? What does he want us to do? That's what I said.

Hello, who's this? Why don't you just talk about yourself in third person? Vince, man. Vince, what do you think about Demi Lovato? I thought he said I'm vexed. I mean, I think she good, man. Leave her alone, man. Everybody know how the internet works, man.

You don't get these jokes. Everybody's giving donkey today. People making jokes about Cosby. Steph Curry shooting pills into bottles of liquor and everything. It was all good. What? That is very true. Wait, what happened?

That's why I was so confused when everybody pulled up my old tweets clowning R. Kelly. And I'm like, damn, we just was clowning Bill Cosby a year ago. Like, the same thing. Is that making light of Bill Cosby's victims? Because we was clowning Bill Cosby, calling him Pill ago. Like, the same thing. Is that making light of Bill Cosby's victims? Because we was clowning Bill Cosby, calling him Pill Cosby and,

like, I don't know. I don't know. I understand what you, like, listen, I get what you're saying, but the only reason

this is different with Demi Lovato is because Demi Lovato went through a tragic situation last year. But, you know, if she don't care

about the energy, she gets back cool. Well, thank you, bro, for calling. If Snoop would've said it, nobody would've cared. Okay, I don't know. All cool. Well, thank you, bro, for calling. If Snoop would have said it, nobody would have cared. Okay, I don't know.

Alright, well, thank you, bro. I don't know if he would have said that. If it would have been Snoop, it would have been funny. I mean, listen, Duvall was clowning 21 Savage yesterday or clowning the situation and nobody said anything. It's because he's an outsider, maybe.

That's right, but we teach people how to treat us, though. You know what I'm saying? Demi Lovato thought that she could jump in and join in on the jokes because she saw us, you know, clowning the good brother 21. Well, we showed her. So maybe we just need to do better with how we treat each other. What's the moral of the story, man? The moral of the story is don't smoke rocks in the glass crack house, Demi Lovato. Goodness gracious. I thought we were going to be more empathetic towards each other. I thought that was the moral of the story, man. The moral of the story is don't smoke rocks in a glass crack house, Demi Lovato. Goodness gracious.

I thought we were going to be more empathetic towards each other. I thought that was the moral of the story. You just said that you was going to be more positive. Charlamagne didn't say nothing. Charlamagne is just an observant person. Who is this person talking to? This is Lenard. Who is this?

This is Lenard. This is Lenard talking about Charlamagne. Oh, my goodness. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way, Yee. Yes, we are going to talk about Jussie Smollett. He took to the stage after the attack that happened to him, and we'll tell you what he told his fans.

All right. We'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk to Kashi69.

It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. nine. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, they do have the transcript of Tekashi's plea hearing that happened last week. And in that plea hearing, they said he does a lot of talking. He admits that he helped

members of the gang attempt to kill a rival to increase his own standing in 9-Tray. And he talks about robbing a rival at gunpoint. He talks about the chief keeps shooting. He said, I paid a person to shoot at a rival member to scare him. He also admitted to selling a kilo of heroin in 2017. He apologized

for all of his crimes and they're saying he has struck a plea deal which will increase the likelihood that he will get a reduced sentence in return for cooperating with the authorities. The minimum sentence is 47 years, but they're saying that the prosecution will ask for less, which means that he's going to keep on talking. He did plead guilty to all nine counts, just so you know.

Tekashi snitched nine, a.k.a. I'm telling, a.k.a. you think I wasn't going to tell? Stupid. Does it matter for his fans? Will his fans care? I have no idea. Can he even come out and do music after this? Because it seems like it's going to be difficult. Listen, let's be clear, though.

The people that he's telling on, didn't they try to kill him? Kidnap him. That don't mean anything. Listen, let me explain something to y'all. Steal money from him. First of all, anybody acting surprised about this situation is stupid and naive because we knew Tekashi69 was going to end up in jail or dead, and we knew when he got jammed up like this, he was going to start talking.

That's number one. Number two, this is the epitome of snitching because you actually did the crimes with these people. You were doing crimes with these people, and then things got hot, and all of y'all got pinched. You start telling. This is the epitome of snitching, kids. It's a dangerous situation for him regardless if he's in jail or out on the street.

His family, all of them. He's probably going to have to go into protective custody, don't you think? Yeah, but you can't protect your family. Well, he's having issues with that too because he's having to pay all kinds of money to protect his mom. And his child's mother is concerned as well because she feels like she needs some added security because of the mess that she's in because of Tekashi.

And Tekashi69 is not a multimillionaire, contrary to y'all popular belief. So eventually that money is going to dry up between lawyer fees and still having to pay security for your family on the street. That money is going to dry up. And guess what, kids? He put himself in this situation. He made a choice. And now everybody's affected in his family.

And that's the way it goes. All right. Now, Jussie Smollett has performed after being attacked on Tuesday. He performed on Saturday. He said, I had to be here tonight. Check it goes. Alright, now Jesse Smollett has performed after being attacked on Tuesday. He performed on Saturday. He said, I had to be here tonight. Check it out. I went to the doctor immediately. Frank Gadsden drove me. I was not hospitalized. Both my doctors in LA and Chicago cleared me to perform, but said to take care

obviously. And above all, I fought the f*** back. I'm the K2 talk. So this was in LA and he did address the incident in Chicago. He told the crowd that he's okay. I have so many questions. The police are still investigating. I don't know why Jussie's lawyer doesn't want him to talk.

I also want to know why Jussie was reading those points that he made on the stage off the paper. And I want to know what the hell Tupac got to do with any of this. Okay, that seemed like a line straight out of Empire. I'm the gay Tupac. I mean. I Get Around would have been A totally different record If Tupac was gay, by the way How do you want it?

Woo Stop it Why would that be different? Stop it, man You're a fool, man Keep your head up Would have been a totally different record If Tupac was gay

Still the same idea You're a jerk, man Ambitions as a rider But I'm glad that Jesse Smollett is Tupac was gay I'm glad that Jesse Smollett is okay Hit him up And I'm glad that Jesse Smollett is okay. Hit him up. And I'm glad that he went on stage and performed.

And he's not letting this incident hold him back. All right, another person who was performing over the weekend is Ja Rule. Now, we've all seen this fire documentary by now, and he knows that people might be a little angry at him. So in order for them to get their anger out, he encouraged everyone to chant along with him, F. Ja Rule. Check it out.

Man, we're going to watch a documentary. It's s***. Y'all might be a little mad at me. And I want y'all to repeat after me. Get it out your f***ing system because we ain't going to do this s*** for the rest of the year. And let me hear you say, f*** you, Ja Rule.

F*** you, Ja Rule! Dropping the clues bombs for one of the greatest of all time. I don't care what y'all say. Alright? When we get these Breakfast Club boat cruises popping after Tom Joyner retires, Ja Rule gonna be the first person I call to come perform on one. Oh, he's first. And y'all gonna lose y'all mind when all is on time. Come on.

Alright, and Chris Brown has released a video statement about the allegations, the rape allegations against him. Now, he was in Paris in this video, and here Brown has released a video statement about the allegations, the rape allegations against him. Now, he was in Paris in this video, and here's what he says. My mom and grandma always said, the little can give you a gift, and he can take it away. And I feel like I don't have to explain any bulls**t or any lie that somebody's perpetrating or portraying me as. So, you know, for me, it's like, all right, cool. I came out there to do a job, and that's what I did.

We're going to shoot this motherfucker. As somebody who's gone through that, I agree with Chris totally. You know what I'm saying? Because nobody cares about the truth, and the lie is more entertaining anyway. So, you know, people are going to say whatever they want. They're going to joke. They're going to clown. They're going to slander your name.

You just got to keep doing what you're doing. Chris Brown has also filed a defamation lawsuit against the person who accused him. Those are tricky. Only because you can't get nothing out of the situation. Well, he wants to clear his name. But he doesn't clear your name. I think it helps if somebody

lies on you and you... If you win, it does clear your name. If you win, not really. People are going to still think what they want to think. It shows that you're really angry about the situation, and I will go through whatever lengths to prove that it's not true. Absolutely. And they're going to look at it as big fish eats little fish because you got all the money and the resources to hire the best lawyers

and attorneys, and the other person does not. Now, I'm not saying he shouldn't do it, but I'm just saying, you know. He should definitely do it. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Ms. Yee. Up next is the People's Choice Mix.

On November 13th, 2005, Huey Freeman of the Boondocks told us what we all needed to hear in regards to the pied pedophile, allegedly R. Kelly. What the hell is wrong with you people? Every famous a** that gets arrested

is not Nelson Mandela? Yes, the government conspires to put a lot of innocent black men in jail on fallacious charges, but R. Kelly is not one of those men. We all know the n**** can sing. But what happened to standards? What happened to bare minimums?

You a fan of R. Kelly? You want to help R. Kelly? Then get some counseling for R. Kelly. Introduce him to some older women. Hide his camcorder. But don't pretend like the man is a hero. And stop the damn dancing. Act like you got some goddamn sense, people.

Damn. Don't play around here. Boo. Hey, you with the apple. Give it a rest. Put the music back on. That was a Black History Month moment brought to you by The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.
