Do you know how to pop that coochie for income? There you go. It's the world's most dangerous morning show. Got the cameras a mother******. I agree. What kind of show is this? Let's all listen to this show. The Breakfast Club.

With DJ Envy. The captain of this b****. With Angela Yee. The only one who can keep these guys in check. With Charlamagne Tha God. I'm a lovable a**hole. And this is The Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, yo. I was like, that's your cue, Charlamagne.

I didn't have my headphones plugged up. Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne the God. Peace to the planet. Guess what day it is. Guess what day it is. Pump day.

It's also National HIV Testing Day. Today is National HIV Testing Day. I'm going to be honest with you, though, man. Them tests, man, them tests is very stressful. Because, see, I come from the area where you get your, I forgot how they do it. Swap your mouth, take your blood. I don't remember. They had to take blood back in the day. They had to take blood back in the day.

Two weeks. Well, now you find out on the spot. I ain't got time for that. It takes a few minutes. I don't got that kind of pressure. I'm not right with my God enough. But it's very important to get tested because there's people that actually the earlier that you know, the better it is for you. There's people that have been living

with HIV for a long time. First of all, you sound like Future when you talk, Andy. So if somebody needs to fix your microphone on your end, that's number one. What do I say? They tested it mad times. Once again, you sound like Future. So stop talking unless you're going to sing us a hook. You ain't never going to get your bitch back. If you ain't got no hook to sing

us, then shut up, all right? Now, number one, I remember the first time I ever got my HIV AIDS test, those two weeks were so stressful. I tried to write down every single woman that I had had sex with, and I had to write down the crackheads because I used to sell crack, so, you know. How many crackheads did you have sex with? Like two. Two.

You are something else, brother. Well, I've lived a long life. We see. Well, yeah, the last time I did mine, it was so quick. I was just sitting there, I was in a van.

They had the testing van that you could go and I get tested and, you know, found out right away. How many crackheads you had sex with, Yee? None.

None that I know of. If you a faithfully married man, there's no need to have an HIV test, right? I don't know. If you're straight, well, yeah, you're a faithfully married man, there's no need to have an HIV test, right? I don't know. Well, yeah, you're faithful. Well, you had a history, though. I mean, because it could pop up now, you know, from things that you've done.

Well, it can be dormant for a period of time, but I don't think it's that long. I'm good. But I encourage everybody. Yes, I do encourage everybody to go out and get tested because there's people that have no idea. One out of seven people who actually are HIV positive don't even know they have it. And, you know, if your wife or your girlfriend goes to the doctor because she's pregnant, that doesn't mean you don't have HIV because a lot of people say, hey, my wife went to the doctor.

She's good, so I'm good. That doesn't necessarily mean that either. But there's a lot of stigma and shame attached to it. But the truth of the matter is that you can actually live a long, fruitful life. And what happens if you find out your results right then and there and the results not what you want them to be? I mean, then you gotta figure out. They give you actually

They don't tell you in front of everybody, right? No, they don't. They tell you, but they actually will give you resources. You can tell the person who probably would test positive in front of everybody, though. They'll probably burst into tears or something. You have no idea. Oh, you mean you can tell actors? Yes, absolutely. 100%. They'll probably burst into tears right there on the have no idea. Oh, you mean you could tell after? Yes, absolutely. 100%. They'll probably burst into tears right there on the spot.

Or you'll just be a little shocked and be like, wow. I'm going to tell you something else, man. This week right here, I have two reminders that I'm getting old. Number one, my born day is on Friday. Okay. And number two, my daughter's born day is today. She is 10 years old today. Wow.

And she is officially in double digits. Wow. If that don't make you feel old, I don't know what will. But you got a younger one too, right? It keeps you young. Yes, it does. Every time a new gray hair pops up on your face, that's what you tell yourself.

I got five kids, so I got five kids. It does. It keeps you running around. It keeps that energy up. Absolutely, positively does. It keeps you active. It don't keep you young. It keeps you feeling it. And before positively does. All right. Yesterday. It keeps you active. It don't keep you young. It keeps you feeling it. And before we go too far away from it, I do want to say with National HIV Testing Day,

at our juice bar in Brooklyn, we are doing free HIV testing. And at a lot of different locations around the United States, everybody's doing national HIV testing. So there are definitely resources where you can go and get tested today. Now, Envy, do you want to go back and talk about your kids after talking about HIV again? Are you on? No, I'm going to let it slide. I was just going to ask. I know Charlemagne has. Have you ever been in a swamp, Charlemagne?

Of course. I'm from Moncks Corner, South Carolina. Dropping a clues bomb for the 843. Have you ever been in a swamp? I mean, yesterday was my first time in a swamp. We did an airboat through the swamp looking for alligators. It was kind of strange. It was kind of weird.

Why? That's a great ecosystem. Are you crazy? I mean, the mosquitoes looking at the alligators. It was kind of strange. It was kind of weird. Why? That's a great ecosystem. Are you crazy? I mean, the mosquitoes looking at the alligators, the snakes and all that. I was like, this is scary. I mean, I had a good time, but I'm like, I thought I could get Zika or something, but no, I was good. I had a great time in the swamp yesterday.

I'm from the low country, baby, okay? I come from growing up trying to figure out if the lizard man was real or not. The lizard man lived in the swamps of Somerville, South Carolina. I held a sloth, too. You ever held a sloth? No, I don't got no business touching sloths now. Why are you holding on to sloths?

I don't know. It was at the park. I tried to avoid sloths. You actually look like a sloth. I've told you that before. You do look like a sloth. You didn't feel like you was at home with your tribe when you was holding a sloth in your hand?

Nope. Oh, okay. All right. I would say something back, but then people would be mad. Oh, my gosh. Don't do it. Oh, what you got to say. All right.

Well, let's get into our front page news. What are we talking about this morning? Don't be afraid. We're in the Trump era. Say what you need to say. All right? If you got something racist to say or colorist to say, say it. It was just a bunch of animals there.

You know what? Forget it. Say it. Michael Bennett from the Philadelphia Eagles will be joining us this morning, so we'll kick it with him. He has a book called Things That Make White People Uncomfortable that I've read. It's a great read. All right.

And then we got front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Yes, we'll be talking about a federal judge order. Find out what they've said about parents and children who are separated at the border. All right. We'll get into all that when we come back. 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. Good morning. What's happening? Now, let's get into some front page news. Now, they're reinstating families, right, Yee?

Reunifying families. Yes, a federal judge has ordered a halt to most family separations at the U.S. border and the reunification of all families that have been separated. The court specifically says that they have to stop detaining parents apart from their minor children. They can still, of course, prosecute people for trying to get here, but they can't separate these families anymore unless the parent is unfit or the parent declines reunification. So all parents with their minor children who are under the age of five must be reunified

within 14 days and parents older than that must be reunified within 30 days. They also said that they have to provide parents contact with their children by phone within 10 days if the parent is not already in contact. So when they put the families back together, would they deport them back to Mexico or what? I guess it depends on specific individual situations. You know, sometimes people are coming here trying to get into the country and it's not an illegal manner. Other people, if it's illegal, they'll be sent back. All right. What else are we talking about? All right. Now, the Supreme Court, though, at the same time that they've done that, the Supreme Court has ruled to uphold Donald Trump's travel ban.

Donald Trump tweeted out Supreme Court upholds Trump travel ban. Wow. So this ban restricts entry from seven countries, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, and Venezuela. So people who have challenged this say that the travel ban exceeded the president's authority under immigration law as well as the Constitution. And of course, some people feel like this

is actually promoting Islamophobia. Yeah, you think? Absolutely. So we'll see what happens because I know they're going to try to overturn this still as well. And Sarah Sanders is going to be now getting Secret Service protection. That's supposed to be starting today. Why, because she got kicked out of a restaurant? Because she got kicked out of a restaurant, yes.

Well, I mean, I guess they are trying to say that Queen Maxine Waters was causing threats of violence. That's what they tried to say yesterday. She didn't say anything about violence. She just said to not. She said to harass people when you see them at restaurants and stuff, you know, resist against them, let them know that you're not happy with this administration. So they took that as a threat. That's what that's probably all about.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump can say to physically attack people, and that's somehow not a threat. That's what that's probably all about. Meanwhile, Donald Trump can say to physically attack people and that's somehow not a threat. Listen, that's why I told everybody just be ready for the smoke because all of this is not going to lead to anything peaceful at the end of the day. Donald Trump will bail you out of jail if you attack somebody. So the same way they're getting Sarah Huckabee Sanders prepared, make sure you're prepared too. That's all I'm saying.

Alright. Alright, well that's front page news. Now today is Decided to be Married Day. I saw that. First of news. Now, today is decided to be married day. I saw that. First of all, I love when we come in here and I see all the different national holidays because it's also National Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness Day. It's also National Happy Birthday to You Day and National Ice Cream Cake Day. But it's also National Decided to be Married Day. That's right. And 800-585-1051. The question is, when did you decide you wanted to get married? Oh, man. If you are married.

I was like, huh? Charlamagne, when did you decide? I decided I wanted to be married. Let me see. It's 2018. I got married in 2014, I believe. So I decided I wanted to be married around 2013. I mean, I always knew I wanted to marry my wife now because we've been together for 20 years.

But I just, you know, you make all those excuses like, oh, I'll do it when I get my finances in order. You know, I don't want to do it until I'm ready and I can provide all that BS. She never gave you an ultimatum? No, she never gave me an ultimatum. But my daughter did come to me one time. My daughter said, why you and mommy don't have the same last name? Ouch. That hurt me in a way.

So that kind of like all of that, all of that was part of the process of me saying, you know what? one time my daughter said, why you and mommy don't have the same last name? Ouch. That hurt me in a way. So that kind of like, all of that was part of the process of me saying, you know what? Time for me to get married. Okay. I kind of knew when I first met my wife, she used to run track and she had these huge double D's and you know, in track, used to wear these tight track suits and I used to just go stalk that track and just watch the double D's bounce, bong, right? Then and there, I was like, well, I'm going to marry that. So you got married for strictly superficial reasons.

That's beautiful. You got married because you like your wife's titties is what you just told America. That was the first time I fell in love and I knew I wanted to get married right then and there. You fell in love with her breasts. I sure did. Wow. Okay. Yeah, that was at 16.

So I'm thinking you probably got breastfed until you was three. So it's probably like a sick fetish. Yeah. Wow. Anyway, 800-585-1051. Call us up right now. We're asking, when did you decide you wanted to get married? And also, ladies, would you propose to your man?

Just curious. Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. 800-585-1051. Hello, who's this? This is Julian. Hey, Julian.

Now, today is decided to be marry day. So we're asking everybody, what made you want to get married? What made me want to get married is my mom was passing away from cancer, and my wife was with me through the whole thing. So it made me want to be with her and marry her and want me to spend the rest of my life with her. She was there for you in a very trying time. Very understandable, sir.

Yes, she left her job and came with me. Wow. She traveled, left everything behind to come be with me by my mother's side. Wow. That's real. I mean, we've all had those. I can think about all the times I've been unemployed and too proud to go collect them unemployment checks,

and my wife was holding it down, you know, working, paying the bills. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Charles from Rochester. Hey, Charles. Now, what made you want to get married, Charles? My girl changed my life, man. I met my girl when my brother was actually getting picked up by the feds, and I was down and now, and she actually picked me back up.

And when I started living with her, I started to look at the different things that I had in my life as far as somebody actually caring for me and somebody really holding me down when I ain't really had it. And I'm about to get married in two months, man. I decided to do it like a year and a half ago, step up to the plate, and now I'm about to make her mine, man. There you go, my brother. I love this, man. All of these traumatic experiences us black men going through,

and we got our queens holding us down. Absolutely. I love it. Hello, who's this? Yeah, man. This is Zeke from the Great City, and I wanted to let y'all know when did I decide to get married. First of all, I feel sorry for the woman that married you, D. Oh, boy.

Continue. Yeah, I decided to get married in 2009 after I had my daughter because I didn't want to take child support, and I also didn't want to get married to my child. That's very honorable of you, D. I didn't want to take child support. Very honorable of you. I didn't want to be a child support. Very honorable of you, D. That wasn't positive, but okay. The fact that you would marry the woman that you got pregnant,

what a concept. Child of man, too bad you can't grow no hair, brother. What does that have to do with anything this morning, sir? I don't know. I just wanted to take a cheap shot. All right, man. Have a good day, D. 800-585-1051.

Today is Decided to Be Married Day, and we're asking, when did you decide you wanted to get married? Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hello, who's this? Hey, Embiid. This is Sarah. Hey, mama.

Why are you so excited this morning, ma? Because I'm talking to my favorite priest people. Okay. Embiid, D, and Salamander God. Hey. Hey. You sound just like Elmo. All right. Now, what, you know, today is National Decided to be Married Day.

What made you want to get married, Mama? Well, actually, I'm not married. The question that was asked to me was what I proposed. Okay. And my answer is no. Well, first of all, nobody would say yes to you because of your voice. Stop it. All right.

Whatever. Be nice. So you're not married. How old are you, Mom? She just laughed at Elmo All right. Whatever. Be nice. So you're not mad. How old are you, ma? She just laughed. Elmo laughed. How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm 48. Oh, you got plenty of time to get married. Yes, no rush. Don't just do it. Mm-hmm. All right, put some bass in your voice, ma.

I'll stop it. I'll try to. I'll try my best. Did you try just now? What was that? Yeah, I tried. I can't do it. All right, baby. Have a good day. Have a good one. I'll do my best. Did you try just now? What was that? Yeah, I tried. I can't do it. All right, baby.

Have a good day. Have a good one. Sound like Michelle A. Whoa. Hello, who's this? Our phone's sim. Andy, what's popping? Our phone's sim.

What's popping, our phone? Yo, what's good? What's good, Charlamagne? What's good? Angela Yee. Peace, my brother. What's happening? The topic question is, when did you get married, right?

When did you decide to get married? When did you decide to get married? When did you decide to get married? In 2008, Obama was in office, and it was a recession. And I was just trying to combine income, bro. So I was f***ed up. She was f***ed up. And we just tried to, you know, make it work. So she found no income with mine.

And it went to, like, 2009, and that was it. That sounds like a business arrangement. Wasn't no love involved or nothing like that? Listen, she was messed up. I don't know if you remember 2008. That was a rough year, man. I remember. Sir, I got fired November 2nd, 2008 from the Wendy Williams experience, okay?

I know. I already had got fired prior. She still had a little good job. Man, it was rough. We understand. Are y'all still together? I got fired November 2nd, 2008. Hell no, we ain't together.

Hell no. Damn. Yo, man, pick this right here. Pretty as your wife is, you fell in love with just a breast, bro? At first, yeah. I mean, I was 15. What do you expect me to do? You thought I was going to have deep conversations?

Not the fact that she's, you know, pretty as heck, long hair. You went to her and just said, yo, I want some f***ing. Man, that was, yeah, that came after. Envy is superficial. He said he stalked his wife at track meets. So I guess the moral of the story is you can meet to somebody if you married them. That what you saying, Envy? No, I didn't say that at all.

Oh, you married, you did marry the woman you meet to, technically. I did, I did marry my wife, yes. We've been together over 24 years. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is MJ. Hey, mama. Now, we're asking, today is years. Hello, who's this? Hi, this is MJ. Hey, mama. Now, we're asking, today is Decided to Get Married Day. When did you decide to get married, and would you propose to your man?

Well, I'm not yet married, but I know it's going to happen soon because we're expecting a baby. That don't mean nothing. You think that baby's going to make him propose to you? Well, it's been in the talks, and it's going to happen. Oh, okay. Well, I'm going to be honest with you. I proposed to my wife after we had a baby. It just so happened my baby happened to be six at the time.

But, you know, it still happens. I mean, I don't mind that. My family is against it, but it's already happening, so I don't mind it. Your family is against you getting married? After having a baby. Oh, they want you to get married beforehand, before the baby comes. Oh, got you, got you.

We can always do a Cardi and Offset day, get married on the low. Shout out to them because that proposal was also interesting. Since we got married and then he proposed after. First of all, I'm not going to let you talk down on nobody's proposal, especially when you ain't been gotten proposed to yet,

having a baby out of wedlock out here in these streets. But you want to judge. Yeah. All right. Well, thank you, my mom. Good luck. All right. Now, Yee.

Yes. We got rumors on the way? Yes, we are going to be talking about a joint album in the works. Let's see if you're excited about it also. Find out who had to apologize after some homophobic lyrics. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. 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. Good morning, guys. What's happening? How's your hump day?

It's going good. I'm watching Lil Uzi on the screen. You should wake up in a Lil Uzi type of mood this morning, man. What type of mood is that? Oh, you ain't seen him and Block Boy JB doing them crazy young boy dances on Instagram? No, I didn't see it. Man, if I still had good knees, I'd try that. But I can't be hopping around on one knee.

No, you wouldn't. Ain't too weak for that. Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Lakeith Stanfield. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report.

This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Keith Stanfield has apologized for a video that he did on Instagram where he was rapping lyrics that were offensive and homophobic. Tell people who Keith Stanfield is. Keith Stanfield plays Darius in Atlanta, and he was in Get Out as well,

and he's also in that movie Sorry to Bother You. It's coming out in, what, two weeks? Okay, so here are those lyrics. Boy, you're dressed like trash. You are 8'6". Take that choke chain back. That's some gay issue. Only black rags in my cab like I'm racist.

I don't really like to brag, but I'm straight rich. Puffing bitches out the ass and those fingers. And all these gays are getting mad because they hate this. I really wish Lakeith Stanfield would stop rapping. When he was here on The Breakfast Club, I told him he was trash as a rapper, but he continues to rap, and this is what happens when you continue to rap. Well, he said that that offensive freestyle was actually him in character. He said, I make videos all the time, which I usually

end up deleting as soon as I make them. I assume characters that have different viewpoints and different views on life just from different perspectives. Some things my views are in line with and some things my views aren't in line with. And this character that you've seen is a character I'm definitely not in line with and I definitely don't believe those things.

Lakeith, that's the best you can come up with. That's a good excuse though. Look, first of all, Lakeith acts like Darius in real life and I can't tell if those things. Lakeith, that's the best you can come up with. That's a good excuse, though. Look, first of all, Lakeith acts like Darius in real life, and I can't tell if he's playing or not. And I know he got a movie coming out in a couple weeks. Sorry to bother you. Why would you do something like this two weeks before the movie? And did that cause a fake outrage, that little rhyme?

Because I didn't see that. Yeah, I didn't see it at all either. No, people were definitely mad about it, and he definitely apologized, definitely deleted the post. But you can't do that. That's why he gave a whole explanation. You can't say that and then say, okay, well, I was just in character. You can't do that.

By the way, if he hadn't gave that explanation, I apologize. I'd have never known. All right. Now, Kodak Black, congratulations to him. He passed his GED test. He said, it feels like the day I bought my first chain. So that's a big deal. He is staying positive right now.

He had access to a tutor so he could actually get his GED, and he is happy to announce that he did get his certification. It felt like the day I bought my first chain. Yeah. It's a good feeling. I dropped one of the clues bombs for Kodak Black. I mean, you know, it's Florida. He was excited.

It's Florida. It's Florida, so that feels like an accomplishment. All right, now the game has threatened to kill three men who tried to rob his house. So imagine you're at the BET Awards, and he said, All right, now the game has threatened to kill three men who tried to rob his house. So imagine you're at the BET Awards. And he said, this past Saturday night, three N-words thought they could catch me slipping while I was out enjoying BET weekend festivities and attempted to burglarize my home. He said they were on the ground checking the windows and doors for sensors. And once they saw the house was secure and my two Rottweilers were in the crib,

they aborted admission. The first dude looked hella familiar and I'm on it. The second one had an Andre Berto clothing line harvest hoodie on. He said it has nothing to do with Andre Berto but he said I'm on it too. Y'all idiots really three deep with one baby ass flashlight. So he said

a place where my children lay their heads at night will never be disrespected on my watch if and when you come back, I'm killing all three of you N-words on sight. So if you want to lose your life over some Xboxes and a few TVs, by all means, pull up and hop that gate again. I haven't heard anything he said wrong in that whole statement.

Nothing wrong. Nothing wrong. You know how violating that must feel when you get to see on camera people trying to break into your home? You break into my house, you deserve to die. You're getting shot on the spot. Absolutely.

That's what stand your ground laws are about. That's what guns are about. That's what the 2A amendment is all about right there. How about you? Ashanti has made a confirmation. Jairu posted, iconic. The Carters new album is dope. Ashanti, I think we should do one of these joint albums

for the culture. I'm inspired. Here's what Ashanti had to say. It's so funny because we've been talking about that for so long, but I think now he's like, okay, now it's time to do it. We're going to carve out the time and make it happen. If you think for one second that in 2018, I give a damn about a Ja Rule, Ashanti album, then you are absolutely right. Okay. I am going to be here for that joint album. I am sick of y'all fronting on Ja Rule and Ashanti. Like, they haven't been out here making adult contemporary hip-hop since before we were adults, okay?

You don't like Always on Time? You don't like Mesmerized? Huh? Solo records like Foolish put it on me? Yes, okay? Let me tell you something. And as soon as Tom Joyner retires, I'm going to take over his boat cruise,

and Ja Rule and Ashanti are going to be the first artists I book to perform. My goodness. God damn it. They need Irv Gotti, though. Irv Gotti got to do the beats, get the producers. Irv got to be involved. It got to be that classic murdering sound. And, you know, they did a song together for the Hamilton mixtape as well called Helpless.

Really? How was it? It was good. I missed that one. Yeah, me too. Go dig up Seven, okay? Yeah, we'll find Seven. Seven, Irv, all that.

I'm here for a Ja Rule Ashanti goddamn album, okay? All right, well, good. Well, then that announces it. Why people try to act like they don't like Ja Rule's music? Ja Rule's music hasn't aged very well? Like, if Always on Time, come on, right now, you don't start singing it

at the top of your lungs. I think it was the diss records they didn't like, but yeah, like you said, those records were classic. Come on, man. Ja got joints. You didn't like Clap Back?

It was cool. I did like Clap Back, actually. It was cool. I liked the video. The video was like, all right, stop it, Ja. Okay, the push-ups and the sweat, and like, nah. But the song is actually dope.

All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Now, coming up next, we got front-page news. What are we talking about, Yee? We are going to be talking about an upset for the Democrats. Imagine if a 28-year-old who ran for the first time ever beat somebody who's actually been in office for quite a long time. We'll tell you where that happened.

All right. And also next hour from the Philadelphia Eagles, Michael Bennett will be joining us. So we'll kick it with him as well. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club.

We got a special guest in the building. He plays for the Philadelphia Eagles and the author of the book, Things That Make White People Uncomfortable. Michael Bennett. Thank you, thank you. New York Times bestseller, too. Hey! Congratulations. That's dope.

That's a big deal, yeah. Welcome to the list. When did you decide to write this book? Last season, or was it 2017? During the season, I started writing it. 2016, I started writing the book and finished it in 2017 and then published it this offseason. So I just wanted to be able to put it on paper.

It's not very often that you're able to articulate your thoughts and be able to share them with the world, especially when it's about political things. I think when you are an athlete, people want to keep you in a bubble so you can't really speak about what's going on in the world. Shut up and dribble. Yeah, shut up and dribble. You heard him.

That's all you can do. Shut up and dribble. You're not part of this community, so you're different. But at the same time, you can see from LeBron James at the end of the day, you live in Brentwood and you still get the N-word spray painted on your wall. How have people reacted to the title of your book? Great title. Things that make white people uncomfortable.

Well, the white people are uncomfortable with it. I think they are. I think, but it's a title. It's a catchy title. I think the title is important because it challenges everybody to wonder why we've been so comfortable with things that have been happening. Why are we so comfortable with seeing police shootings? Why are we so comfortable with seeing people being taken away from their family?

Why have we been so comfortable with the Me Too movement? Why have we been so comfortable with all these things happening? And it takes so long before people feel uncomfortable and finally say, hey, we need to make a change. And so that's all the book is really about, is just challenging people to change their comfortability about things that have been happening for so long. What's interesting to me is that you talk about looking back at your time in college and things that you could have done, you know, back then to initiate some type of change, but it took for you to be here now to realize how much power you did have as a student athlete.

Oh, you really, thank you for reading the book. No, I didn't think, no, no. Yeah. It's kind of one of those things where you were having all these experiences, but you didn't know how to voice them. And for me, like I've said this a couple of times, is that the athletes that I had to look up to, they didn't really leave us with a voice. I mean, for me, like I've said this a couple of times is that the athletes that I had to look up to, they didn't really leave us with a voice. I mean, I look at Michael Jordan, I look at Patrick Ewing, all these great athletes, they didn't leave us with a voice. So why would, how

could we speak up? There was no, you know, examples for us. And then I didn't have the ability to grow up in the time of, you know, Muhammad Ali, John Carlos, all these great athletes. Those athletes were athletes I had to read about. So I didn't really had to learn on my own how to be able to use this platform. And now with all the things happening with Kaepernick and all the things happening with Malcolm Jenkins, the athletes behind us, they have a voice now. So now you see more athletes speaking up because the ones who are in front of them, the ones who have everything to lose, they're speaking. If you look at LeBron James, he's speaking on real issues.

So every other basketball player has to fall in line because it's like if if he's going to speak about it, then we got to take chances. And no offense to Kobe. I love them playing the sport. I love King Griffey Jr. I loved all those great guys when it came to playing sports, but they didn't show me how to be a man. You know what I mean? So that was hard.

A lot of us as athletes, young athletes, we looked up to, you know, these players because a lot of people didn't have fathers. They looked up to them for examples. And I think they led us along the way of being like, get the money. It ain't about your moral compass. And now it's about, hey, what about the moral compass? What about focusing on our community while still making plays and still doing the things that we love,

but we still having a voice to speak for people who don't have them. In the book, you speak about Colin Kaepernick a lot, a few times, and you say how much of a hero he is to you. So why don't players like yourself who feel that way sit out a game or two since y'all know he's being blackballed? I know. That's a real hard question. I think that, like, how do you make a change for him?

Is it me sitting out? Is it the league? Is it the West name? I really feel, honestly, it's not so much the players who really are the ones who change if Kaepernick has a job. I really think it's the fans because at the end of the day, if we stop playing, they still going to have another person think it's the fans. Because at the end of the day, if we stop playing, they still going to have another person playing.

Are the fans going to stop buying jerseys? Are the fans going to stop buying tickets? Are you going to stop being a Dallas Cowboys fan even though you haven't won since the 90s? So is that going to happen? I don't think I'm going to stop being a fan, but I think I do have to boycott the NFL. I'm just saying it's the fan who has to question themselves about how they make a change. They put all the pressurecott the NFL. I'm just saying it has to be the fan who has to question themselves for how they make a change.

They put all the pressure on the players. You can't just boycott when your team loses and act like you didn't watch the game that day. No, I think this time, I think this year I'm really going to sit out just based off, you know, I think it was the new policy where they told everybody that they either have to stand or stay in the locker room. Like, that kind of was it.

And then it makes you so torn because at the same time you want to support the players because a lot of them are black players. So we want to support you guys. And so we feel like not watching is not. But then it's like, OK, it's just a tricky situation. But I think I think we have to refocus on like what are the players doing? Which players are involved in the community? How do we help them and elevate their conversations or their platform. And I think you guys do a great job because you give people,

the players who don't really have a voice or they don't have the audience that you guys have, you're giving them the audience. So you guys are doing your part, you know, so we have to keep like giving those people voices because there are a lot of people who are doing great work just because, you know, Colin's not in the league right now. It doesn't mean that there's not guys like Malcolm Jenkins, Chris Long, Kenny Stills, Cameron Jordan,

like all these people who are doing great things, we still have to find a way to support the other players. They're still trying to use those platforms. But you do think fans should boycott the NFL? I think fans should follow what they believe in. You kind of said that. He's saying that don't put it all on the players.

It's also up to us. Yeah, because basically it becomes like a form of victim, like you're victimizing the players, like saying, like, we have to take all the risk and nobody else wants to take any risk with us. Everybody's, we all collaborate and we're like, hey, we're going, like we want this to happen, then we all have to do that. Right, if y'all boycott, but then somebody else is just playing and we all still watching.

Yeah. Oh, well, I guess we don't need them. Yeah, what you're going to do on Sunday? Go to church? You know, like nobody's like, so. It would start, though, because if your favorite players are sitting, I'm not just tuning in to watch anybody. Yeah.

You know what I'm saying? So if I'm a fan, I'm like, oh, I'm not. If they're not playing, I'm not going to watch anybody. Yeah, but then it also takes some of the white players to do it, too, you know? Yeah, does it make you feel differently sometimes when you guys are in the locker room and you're talking about things, but then there's certain players who are just not with it? Does it make you look at them a little differently? I think you try to empathize with them.

You try to be able to have some type of compassion for their journey, and you want to not ostracize them where they don't want to have a conversation with you. So there's times you're like, what? You said what? And it's like, okay, let's talk. Let's have dialogue. I think for me it's always about dialogue. How do we have a conversation? How do we create an environment where people are willing to share the information

and i think that just has to happen in a lot of times people have to come around i think you said it was russell wilson yeah that finally kind of stepped up because he had never really been known yeah i think for me like when you look at russell wilson is like he was one of the players as a black quarterback who really like started to start saying stuff and started doing different things and i think you think that was to distract people from the fact that you know he was one of the players as a black quarterback who really like started to start saying stuff and started doing different things. And I think. You think that was to distract people from the fact that, you know, he was dating Sierra and he got tired of the future jokes. He said, let me change the narrative.

I mean, you can't run away from future. So it's just, every time you go, I'm like, damn, he's on the gap commercial. And so it's like, you know, you can't really get away from it. But I think it was just him like realizing like, you know, like there's so much more we can do as like, you know, you can't really get away from it. But I think it was just him, like, realizing, like, you know, like there's so much more we can do as athletes, you know. It's like we could talk about all these other things in these contracts and we could talk about Nike and we could talk about all these different brands,

but why can't we talk about things that are affecting the world and community and the humanity part of it? And I think that's why I respect him as a player because he didn't have to do it because he's got everything to lose. But he was one of the rare players in the quarterback position who said something. Now, Donald Trump said that football is getting too soft. And that was something that you address in the book about how offensive it is for him to say something like that. I think it's very offensive because at the same time, that means you kind of dehumanize the athletes who are dealing with,

you know, the brain trauma of the past athletes or the ones who are dealing with these injuries. It takes a lot for guys to go out there and play every Sunday and play through the injuries that they played through. And I think he has no, you know, he has no feelings or he's never played through any of the pain that life has. He's definitely not an athlete. He's definitely not an athlete. I mean, if talking was an athletic ability, he'd be.

Tweeting. I don't know, Charlamagne would beat him if it was talking. I'm definitely a better verbal communicator than Donald Trump. Yeah, yeah, you would be. He'd be like number one. You'd be number one. He'd be like number 10. Was there ever a real conversation that happened between Seattle Seahawks

and Kaepernick about bringing him in? I don't know. I've heard that there was. I don't really know. I can't really speak on it because I have no truth about what happened or what was said. I just know that he didn't end up on the team, so I don't know how that worked out.

All right, we got more with Michael Bennett when we come back from the Philadelphia Eagles. So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. This is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

We have Michael Bennett in the building. Charlamagne? Malcolm Jenkins, he gets a lot of. We have Michael Bennett in the building. Charlamagne? Malcolm Jenkins, he gets a lot of credit now, but there was a point where people were saying he was a sellout for publicly supporting the NFL's charity deal, as they called it. I guess what the money set aside to support black causes. And people feel like Malcolm disrupted the racial justice movement that Cap started.

How did you feel when you first heard that Malcolm was supporting it? I think that a lot of times, you know, society makes us choose a side. You know, you look at the Dalai Lama, you look at things that people are talking about, secular ethics. It's like we choose sides before we really listen to the information. It's like, just because one

person has a different method doesn't mean that they're not doing their job. I think we all have to glorify all the people who are trying to make changes. We can't pick and choose. Like, we're not going to agree because we all come from different backgrounds, but we can't agree that we want to make change. And I think people put too much into it. Like, they were like, oh, he's not doing this, so he's not down.

But at the end of the day, he is down for the cause. Every day he's talking about it. He's making changes. He's going to visit people in the jail. He's going talking about bail reform. I think there's a lot of people who are doing things like that, but people put too much emphasis on what they're not doing instead of focusing on

what people are doing. But that money kind of stopped the conversation. I don't think the money stopped the conversation. I think the money is another way to build bridges because a lot of these groups and communities, they need money. They need economic freedom that people really need. It's like, how do you make the Dallas Cowboys go

to all parts of Dallas? They only represent the philanthropy side of something. And when you talk about philanthropy side of something need it's like how do you you make the Dallas Cowboys go to all parts of Dallas like you know they only represent the philanthropy side of something and when you talk about philanthropy side of something it's like things that everybody's affected with like everybody's affected with cancer everybody's affected with all these different things that happen to people but not everybody's affected by police brutality so when you can take somebody to that community and help them change their mindset about it it's important that you do that so I think that's the bottom line of it. Do you think players are being swayed by the NFL Players Association to, like, stay passive?

I don't think so. I think we look at corporations. If you look at corporations, corporations don't have souls. They don't have any moral compass. They don't have any of those things. Their bottom line is money. So it's on the players to keep their willingness, keep changing the communities that they're a part of I think that's what the real

battle is is how do you continuously push forward regardless of what the NFL is saying or the NBA or what Donald Trump is saying how do you continuously go out and do the things that you know that are right because that new policy of either standing in the locker room that's definitely a violation of the terms agreed upon right

I'm not sure I know it's definitely a freedom thing that we should be able to express ourselves. But I think, you know, by them trying to express saying that we can't take a knee, it kind of like goes into the world of like, that's our point. It was never about taking a knee. Like it was never really about taking a knee. You were so focused on taking a knee that you missed the point. The point was about everything that was happening around the world.

And I think now it's kind of like, okay, you don't want us to take a knee. How do we keep pushing forward? And it allows us to be more creative, and it also allows us to, like, potentially put in the real work to things that really matter. Let's get to some of this s***, man. You got arrested for allegedly injuring a paraplegic woman as you tried to get on field to celebrate your brother's Super Bowl win.

Why is the white man trying to get you, man? I don't know. I don't know. I'll just let my lawyer do what he needs to do. Obviously, you know how I feel about that situation. But at the same time, that's just life. The things are going to come up to you, and you speak certain things, and you do certain things. And then sometimes you've got to be tested. Are you going to go through the test, or are you going to fade away?

And I think at the same time, you can't stop doing what you do simply because people want you to stop doing it. You think your book title had anything to do with it? Oh, you think white people are uncomfortable? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if people pay that much attention. I don't know. Maybe they do. Maybe they don't. But at the same time, you know, the book is not about just about white people. It's about people in general. I think

the idea of intersectionality is like in the book, I don't just talk about like these white people, but I talk about people in general. Like to me, there's things in the black community I don't just talk about like this white people, but I talk about people in general. Like to me, there's things in the black community that need to be changed. The N word, you know, things,

things that we use on a daily basis that, you know, dehumanize our own value to our own selves. We don't even realize that we were reflecting these, these truths to other people and they're starting to use them. So it's like, I agree with you a hundred percent in that chapter. And so it's like,

we have to start looking at ourselves too. And there's things like as a, as a man, like how do I support the Me Too? How do I go into the conversation and not be like, oh, I'm not victimizing. How do I say that I want people to be free, but I'm not willing to say like the LGBTQ movement should not have their validity when they're talking about something. How do I say that I want black people to be free but i don't think that native americans should have rights or i don't so it's like the idea that there's so many issues that within myself that i'm really trying to you know unclaim like questioning like my humanity how do i bring back the human aspect through it and i'm just giving people the journey through that like questioning ourselves like do we still need to be uncomfortable you know you know do are we

still so comfortable with things that are happening so What was your reaction when you heard you had got charged? My reaction? I was just like, oh, s***. I had no real reaction except for like, damn. Gotta handle it. Gotta handle it at the same time. You know, you gotta have that calmness and you gotta have that calmness to just move forward and, you know, just keep doing what you need to do. Did you ever get things cleared up

with the Las Vegas Police Department? Because you had to run in with them when they assaulted you? No, I never really got anything clear with that. I think that was just like a reality for a lot of people, whether they disagreed with it or not. They said, what is this? But at the end of the day,

people needed to connect to like my humanity, connected to that I was a father, connected to that I was a husband or a brother or an uncle. So people were picking sides. But at the end of the day, for me, it was just like, I just want people to connect to me. Like, look, man, I'm a human.

This happened to me. Whether you agree with it or you think it should be done or not, at the end of the day, do you feel compassion? Do you feel empathy for people who are going through different things? Myself, I found firsthand that that's not the world that I live in. I see you rocking your African ancestry pendant. Yeah, straight up. We're from the same tribe, right?

Yeah, we're brothers. We're cousins. I'm from three tribes. I'm from the Balintah people living in Guinea-Bissau, the Mandinka people living in Senegal, and the Mendi people living in Sierra Leone. Yeah, we're cousins. Which one are you?

I'm both, Mendi and Mandinka. My brother. I just came back from Africa. Really? I keep telling you that I'm trying to, I want to take you to Africa with me. I got to get there, man. Because I think African-Americans, we have to connect to our African spirituality.

I think if we can like connect to our spirituality and connect, because if you look at African-American story in America, 400 years of tournament, 400 years of like struggle, but there's a part of our life that we don't really understand. And I think until you go to Africa and you sit on the coast or you sit at the Gory Island or you sit at the House of Slaves, you kind of realize the capacity. You have an understanding. It makes you proud to be who you are because you know that your ancestors

have been through something. A lot of us have been through something so traumatic that we just got to connect to the past. Like, I love Black Panther, man, but I think we're taking this Wakanda thing a little too far. We're taking it real. Like, it's crazy, though, my friend. Like, everybody's like Wakanda, but from the 90s,

like people would say, like, boys in the hood, like African booty scratcher. Like, nobody wanted to connect to Africa because it's crazy, though, my friend. Like, everybody's like Wakanda, but from the 90s, like, people would say, like, boys in the hood, like, African booty scratcher. Like, nobody wanted to connect to Africa because it was like, oh, it was cool. Well, and Belly and I wanted to go back to Africa. He went back. He did. He did. Nas always wanted to go back to Africa, you know what I'm saying? But I'm saying, but, like, at that time, nobody was connected.

So it's good to see people being Afrocentric. It's good to see women saying that they love their hair or people loving their skin. Because as my daughter, you know, invokes on her journey, it's like, how do I always tell her, like, her skin matters? Like, you know, how does, like, wear your hair. Don't let people touch your hair. You're not an animal. Like, your hair is you. Like, it's like, so those things are important to, you know, like, you know, growing as a culture. It's like respecting our past and respecting where we're going as people.

But you can connect to your African ancestry and find people that are just as great. Like all of these places that I'm from, that's the Mali Empire. Well, I know. You know who ran the Mali Empire? We know that. Mansa Musa. Yeah.

The world's richest man ever was a black man. Yeah, that's true too. Like, come on. But I'm saying, but that's why it's important. Like, Wakanda, everything is like, just like she said, like everything's a stepping stone. Now people are getting very inquisitive about like, oh, so what does it mean to do that?

You know, like those things are something like when I'm in Africa like to be there and like, you know, feel the dances and feel the culture and feel the food to look at something and be like, oh, I used to think this was called gumbo, but it's called this. It's like these connections are still there and it's like, how do you

connect to that? And I think that's the thing that we have to keep moving forward on. Well, things that make white people uncomfortable my man michael bennett it's out right now yeah please go get it go get it right now follow him mosesbread72 thank you we appreciate you coming through thank you guys for having me and it's the world's most dangerous morning show the breakfast club everybody is dj nv angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast you just heard that cheat code record drake nice, Nice For What. His album comes out Friday. That record alone is going to cause him to go 10 times platinum in the first day. I'm excited about it, too.

It looks like it's going to be a double album, too, on what it's looking like. Double albums are tough, man. Double albums are tough, and they're hard to pull off, okay? It'll be all right. It's Drake. He knows what he's doing. All right, you sit there. You give us a double album full of average, mediocre, okay records.

This song is a poppin' one. Nice for what? Yeah, but you've been listening to that for three months now. And Kanye just said in his New York Times interview that Drake is the best artist right now. He is. He is. There's a lot of pressure on Drake right now. No, I think he'd be all right.

Especially after taking that L to Pusha T. Now, the album's already done, so I think a majority of it done. I think he'd be all right. Pusha T took nice for what the heart. He said, oh, you tell me to be nice for what the people this summer? Watch what I do to you. My goodness. Well, shout to everybody out in Florida.

I'm out in Kissimmee, Florida, Orlando, Florida right now with the family vacation. I took him to Disney. And yesterday I did something that I know Charlamagne has probably done before because he's from the country. I went on an airboat through a swamp looking for gators. I didn't go looking for gators. Sounds exciting. Okay. I mean, why else would you go on a swamp going to an airboat?

That's what you do, right? Because I'm from the low country. It's a lot of swamps just randomly in the low country. So you could just be walking in the woods and encounter a swamp. I actually ended up in a swamp accidentally in Louisiana once. And gators would creep up in backyards where I'm from.

Okay, drop one of Clues Bombs from Moncton, South Carolina. Well, I'm not used to that. I'm not used to the mosquitoes. I'm not used to the gators. It was fun, you know,

to cruise on the swamp with the kids, but then I was grateful to get off because I don't play with gators. There's a lot of gators out here in Florida.

But you went looking for them. You ain't eating nothing? You ain't getting no gator tail? I did try gator. I thought it was chicken. They gave it to me and they was like, here, try it. And you ate it and it tastes a little like chicken. But they was like, no, that's gator meat.

There you go. Now you're living. A little chewy. Now you're living, sir. No, that's all right. We'll pass. Now, Yee, what are you doing at the Juice Bar today? You're doing something special, right? Well, today is National HIV Testing Day. So for everybody today, we encourage everybody to go and get tested at Juices for Life, our juice bar in Brooklyn. We are actually going to be doing free testing and that we are going to have David Johns there with us from the National Black Justice Coalition.

So we're giving out free testing. I'm going to buy juices for everybody that gets tested as well. So if you come, I'm going to be there all day from 2 to 7 for you guys to get tested. But just check locally wherever you are. A lot of places are making free testing available for you today for National HIV Testing Day. Now, Charlamagne, when's the last time you got tested? I'm married, man.

What does that mean? What does that mean? I'm a married man. And he's been faithful since October. October of 2016, okay? But when is the last time you got tested? Black men don't cheat. I'm with you.

I'm a faithful black man. I'm with you. So I don't have to worry about things. And ladies, the first thing that we do when we find out our man cheated on us is do what? Get tested. As soon as we find out, nope, the first thing you do when you find out

your man cheated is call your doctor and get tested. When you find out your man cheated, the first person you call is your man. You're not calling your damn doctor. Stop lying. He already knows that you know because immediately when you're like, oh, you cheated on me? All right, so, all right, hold on. I'm your damn doctor. Stop lying, Yeet. He already knows that you know because immediately when you're like, oh, you cheated on me? All right, so, all right.

Hold on. I'm calling my doctor. Now I got to get tested because I don't know what she had. I don't know what you have. Now I'm insulted. How dare you think

I would sleep with some dirty ass chick? I would never cheat on you with a dirty chick. Or with a clean chick. Yeah, that's even better. And by the way, you cannot tell

by what somebody looks like whether or not they have something. First of all, I do the earwax test. The earwax test is when you dig in your ear and put a little wax on your finger. Well, we're going to have a real testing today. If she jumps, that means she got something.

So if you still sleep with her after she jumps and you do the earwax test, that's your dumb ass. Do not listen to Charlamagne. Go out and get tested. Charlamagne, the last time Charlamagne was tested was October 2016. That's not true. So you didn't get tested after all that cheating? I haven't done all that cheating. What is all this cheating? What is all this cheating y'all keep talking about?

There's no all this cheating. Ain't no all this cheating. Just a little. You know all this. You make it seem like it's a whole plethora of women. Anyway, let's get ready for rumor report. How about that? What we talk about? Terry Crews is talking about why he didn't get violent during his sexual assault.

Because people are questioning, you're so big, you're so this, why didn't you fight back? And here's what he had to say. I mean, this is victim shaming at its worst. No, we'll do that when we come back, you mean. Yeah, that's what we're going to talk about. Okay. All right, we'll report. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. Let's get to the rumors. Let's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Terry Crews. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

Well, Terry Crews has come out and talked about an incident that happened with him with his talent agent who allegedly groped his genitals back in 2016. And he actually had to discuss this in front of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. And he gave some insight into what happened. And one thing that he discussed was why he did not do anything, why he didn't physically respond to Adam Bennett after he alleges that the agent touched his privates. Here's what he said. Senator, as a black man in America, you only have a few shots at success. You only have a few chances to make yourself a viable member of the community. I'm from Flint, Michigan. I have seen many, many young black men

who were provoked into violence and they were in prison or they were killed. I hear you, Terry, but you care too much what the white man thinks of you. If a man grabs your meat and you slap that man for doing that, then you are teaching that man to never disrespect anybody like that ever again. But everybody's mind frame is different.

Me and you, Charlamagne, you do something else, our reaction automatically, I wouldn't even have to think about it, I'm just automatically going to do it, but he's thinking differently, you know? And there's a lot of people who things have happened to them and they had no idea how they would react in a situation and he might have been frozen, like he

shocked, he couldn't believe it a lot of times. Yeah, I'm sitting there fronting. For a man or for a woman, you don't it a lot of times. Yeah, I'm sitting there fronting. For a man or for a woman, you don't know what you might do. Yeah, I'm sitting there fronting like I haven't walked out of the Viacom building before and seen a group of gay men telling me I got a fat ass and I just kept it moving. Kept going, right. But they didn't touch your balls, though. No, they didn't. But yeah, a lot of people say what they would do and why didn't he do this and why didn't he do that.

And you don't know what you're going to do. You don't know when somebody in a powerful position does something, but how you might react. You might think about it. His wife was there. Here's what else he had to say in his testimony. My wife for years prepared me. She said, if you ever get goaded, if you ever get prodded, if you ever have anyone try to push you into any kind of situation, don't do it. But the next day, I went right to the agency, right, and I have texts, I have phone conversations, and I said, this is unacceptable. And I told them how I almost got violent, but I didn't. All right, now 50 Cent had been trolling him. He posted a picture of Terry Crews shirtless and said, I got raped.

My wife just watched. And then he posted gym time. And he said, LOL, what the F is going on out here, man? Terry, I froze in fear. They would have had to take me to jail. And then he put, get the strap. Well, here's what Terry Crews said about 50 Cent trolling him. Well, I love 50 Cent.

I listen to his music while I'm working out. I've proved that size doesn't matter when it comes to sexual assault. Now, 50 Cent responded, man, I like Terry Crews. I just can't wrap my head around all this. I was watching, 50 also posted a video of Will Smith getting sexually assaulted by a man. Remember when Will slapped the guy and pushed the guy away when the guy tried to kiss him? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep.

All right. So, again, we can't fault anybody for how they react in a situation that they never anticipated would happen to them. Now, you think about it, right? Mm-hmm. When Wendy Williams made Charlamagne sit on her lap. This boy. He sat. This boy right here.

He sat. He didn't do anything. You sat. Let that go. You all right, sir. I was scared to death. So why didn't you do something? I was scared.

I froze. She's bigger than me. She told me't you do something? I was scared. I froze. She's bigger than me. She told me to sit here. Look at the picture on Revolt. What, Revolt? Y'all just got that on deck, huh? Y'all just got that on deck every day. You definitely look like Alicia Keys, and she looks like Bill Cosby.

Y'all just got that on deck every day. First of all, I'm a victim. I don't think you should make fun of victims, okay? Don't victim shame me. Well, the whole thing is you want to know why people don't react a certain way. Why did you react a way? Why are y'all giggling at me? I was a victim. I don't think you should make fun of victims, okay? Don't victim shame me. Well, the whole thing is you want to know why people don't react a certain way. Why didn't you react a way? Why are y'all giggling at me? I was a victim.

I'm not. We're just trying to prove a point here. You don't know what you might do. You're absolutely right. You sat your ass down. You're right. I did not know what to do when I was told to sit on home with you. You're right.

All right, Black China and Rob Kardashian. Now, in this lawsuit that Black China has against Rob Kardashian, she alleges that he Blac Chyna has against Rob Kardashian, she alleges that he is an abuser intent on destroying her. She also says that Rob Kardashian threatened to kill himself multiple times to manipulate her after she left him in the house that they shared. And they also have copies of alleged text messages between Rob and Blac Chyna in which he allegedly appears to threaten his life after Blac Chyna, in which he allegedly threatened, appears to threaten his life after Black Chyna ignores him.

So she says that Rob said he was going to kill himself after she didn't thank him on social media for a Ferrari and that he texted her holding a handful of pills trying to make her respond to him. So this was along with the allegations that Black Chyna says that Rob also was physically abusive. He said, she says once he knocked her on the floor in front of their son, in front of her son, and that she was left in pain and had difficulty walking after that. So this is an ongoing situation, but they do have the actual papers from the lawsuit.

So we'll see what happens with that. All right. And let's talk about Meek Mill. Apparently he is not going to get a new trial. It's up to Judge Brinkley. Once again, she has shut down his motion, even though prosecutors acknowledged that he should get a new trial. She said after an in-depth review of the record, court history, notes of testimony, and evidence submitted, this court hereby denies defendant's petition for relief

as defendant failed to meet his burden of proof. So what the judge is initially saying is the cop who arrested Meek is really dirty, but because the fellow officer who fingered him is incredible, she can't really say. In other words, Officer Graham can't be dirty because another dirty cop said that he is. I don't understand how this is okay when you clearly can tell that this judge has some type of vendetta against Meek Mill. Now, what if this judge sends Meek back to jail? Well, according to Meek Mill's attorney,

because right now Meek, by the way, is only out pending his... That's what I'm saying. What if she sends Meek back to jail? Pending a hearing for a new trial, but she's saying no new trial. So Meek Mill's attorney says, and he was up here before Joe Takapina, said Judge Brinkley made clear during the hearing on June 18th that she had already decided the matter.

We continue to believe that this miscarriage of justice will be corrected upon further review and that the public's confidence in the impartiality of the judicial system in Pennsylvania will be restored. I don't know anything about the judicial system like that. Shouldn't it be like some type of integrity? If you're the only person, everybody else thinks something should happen, and you're the only person that says no, and you're the only person. It seems like none. Some type of moral code. Everybody else thinks something should happen and you're the only person that says no. And you're the judge. They gotta get off the case. This is ridiculous. This is crazy.

This is ridiculous. Alright, well I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. Alright, thank you Miss Yee. Charlemagne! Yes sir. Who you giving that donkey to? We need Lee Daniels to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a little war with him please. Alright, when we come back Charlemagne is giving Lee Daniels his donkey to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a little war with him, please. All right. When we come back, Charlemagne is giving Lee Daniels his donkey. All right.

Keep it locked. Guys, chill out. I know, man. What's up with you, man? It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day, I'm Charlemagne.

I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed up. So like a donkey. Keyhole. 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. Yes, Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, June 27th goes to American producer, director, and writer Lee Daniels. Now, yesterday a video surfaced from a Diana Ross concert

that Lee Daniels and Dame Dash were both attending. Lee Daniels seemed to be front row waiting for Diana Ross to perform on Coming Out, but before that could happen, he was interrupted by the infamous Dame and Dash. Now, if you haven't heard, Dame Dash is suing Lee Daniels for $5 million. None of this is new. Dash versus Daniels went to court a few years ago, and in March of 2015, they agreed to a lengthy settlement negotiation according to deadline. A plaintiff and defendant entered into a confidential global settlement of all claims, okay? It was memorialized in writing

and signed by all parties in April 2015. Back then, Dame was suing for $25 million over an estimated $2 million that Dame Dash lent to Lee Daniels back in the day. Dame was supposed to receive co-executive producer credit and 5% on all amounts that Lee Daniels actually received from his back-end participation on a Richard Pryor biopic that Lee Daniels

was supposed to direct, but none of this happened. Now Dame has a new claim, which is fraud and breach of contract, because Lee Daniels hasn't held up but none of this happened. Now Dame has a new claim, which is fraud and breach of contract because Lee Daniels hasn't held up his end of the bargain. Now if you've been paying attention, Dame has been telling the world Lee Daniels owes him $2 million for a long time. This is actually Dame and Dash on March 4, 2015 via Sway in the morning. Drop on the clues, bombs for Sway.

This is Dame, Dash, on Sway discussing the Lee Daniels situation. Let's hear it. Put up $2 million. He had asked me to do the woodsman and to put the money up. And I really liked the script and I had some paper at the time. So I put up the money. And we got our money back, but then he wanted to invest in his first directing thing. And it was like shadow boxing.

But, you know, it cost like $10 million and the script was crazy. And I was like, Lee, I believed in the other script. This is my money to put into movies. This is for my independence. And he was like, I promise you, you'll get your dough back. Long story short, I didn't get my money back. And then, you know, we made a deal where any other project that he was on, until I get my money back, I would be on it.

And then as soon as pressure hit, he just went missing on me. So, okay. So then after that, we spoke. And he was going to put me on the Empire series. That was how he was going to squash it. You got to understand, just because somebody has their name on it, it doesn't mean, if they're not putting up their money,

they don't control it. And sometimes black people get mad at other black people, like, you ain't doing this, and they think this, that, and the third. He ain't putting up the money. He's being told what to do. So more than likely, he couldn't deliver what he said he was going to deliver.

So they tried to make it like I was something, like, you know, whatever it was. But I was just like, look, man, I don't want to put another black man in front of a judge, but this is kind of too easy. You you know but you can't just walk around owe me two million and you got it now i want all my peers to know one thing you will never have to worry about me pressing you over two million dollars that you owe me because i'm never going to loan it to you to begin with okay now the reason lee daniels is getting donk here today

is simply because nothing will piss you off more than a person who owes you money and you you know in your heart of hearts they can pay you back, but they simply don't. When you loan somebody money, but then you see them having a grand old time on social media, on your dime, it will infuriate you. Dame Dash gave Lee Daniels $2 million, clearly because he believed in him as a director. And he was right. Lee Daniels is prospering out here in these streets, from Precious to Empire to Stars. Even if he isn't in control of these properties like Dame just mentioned, he's still making a coin off of them.

So there's absolutely no reason he can't put Dame Dash on some type of payment plan. Now, either Lee Daniels is having some type of money problems or he just doesn't respect Dame Dash enough to run him his coin. Matter of fact, let's not say coin. Not when it comes to $2 million. Okay? This is $2 million in cash.

I want my money. Now, quick sidebar. All day yesterday on social media, and even this morning, people were hitting me saying, you owe Monique an apology because she was right about Lee Daniels. Number one, when I was debating with her, it wasn't about Lee Daniels. We debated on her comments about Netflix and wanting more money from them. I don't know how you all on social media can take that debate we had about Netflix and

use Dame Dash, Preston Lee to justify what Monique was asking from Netflix. I don't even see how the two are one in the same, but whatever. Second, Dame Dash and Monique's issues with Lee Daniels are different for this one reason. Monique was a work for hire who wanted more money for her role in Precious and rightfully so. Okay,

she should have gotten that, but that's all about what you negotiate. Dame Dash is not a work for hire. Dame Dash loaned this man $2 million and never got his money or anything else back. If you don't understand the difference in that, I don't know what to tell you. But I do know Lee Daniels is worth $20 million. That don't mean

he has $20 million in liquid, but he got enough to where he can start giving me some good faith payments. And Lee, you better not be one of these people who says things like, damn, they're stressing me about that little $2 million. Nothing is more infuriating than arguing with someone about something you loaned them and they refer to said thing as little. Damn, stress me about that little $2 million.

Well, if it's so little, why haven't you paid me back yet? Okay, now, I give money out a lot. Keyword is give. The reason I say give instead of loan is because I don't want to feel what Dame Dash is feeling right now because the truth is most people who are quick to borrow are always slow to pay. And it's a horrible feeling when you're a person

you know, when you're a person who you know has, when you give a person money and you know they have the money to pay you back but they're slow to pay you back. Lee Daniels, pay Dame Dash the money you owe him. Why? Because you got it, and that's the way this is supposed to work. You pay me what I loaned you, okay, with interest, and keep it moving. You pay the white man when you owe him. You pay the IRS.

You pay the banks when you get a loan from them. And if you don't, they come collect everything you own. Give your own brother the same respect you give the white man, okay? Now, the moral of the story of this for me is before borrowing money from a friend, decide what you need more. Once again, before borrowing money

from a friend, decide what you need more. That money or the friend. Because if you're making promises you can't keep when it comes to paying back that money, you're probably going to lose that friend. Please let Remy Ma give Lee Daniels the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er.

You dumb. Am I missing something in this situation? No. No, no, no, no, no. Just making sure. I lend you money. Give me my money back. And like Charlamagne said,

that's why I don't lend anybody money. I'll give you money. I'll give you the money. You know, because I know... Can I have $2 million? No. So you just said... He said no, though. He has the right to say no. I'll give you money. I'll give you the money. You know, because I know... Can I have $2 million? No. So you just said... He said no, though. He has the right to say no. I said no. You just said you give people money.

I said if I do give somebody money, I'm going to give it to you. I'm not going to lend it to you because I don't expect it back. I borrowed money from you before and you made me pay you back. That is true. So you're lying. Because you have it. You didn't have to pay me back. You know, if you say, Envy, can I borrow $20?

I don't expect it back, but if you give it to me back, I'm going to take it. But I've also seen you say sometimes, Yee, let me get $20, because that's the type of relationship y'all have. You gave her $20, and then when you need it, she gives it back to you. Correct. That's cool. I expect my money back, though. I actually hit Damien yesterday, and I said,

I'm surprised that you are not charging this man interest at this point. He said, oh, I definitely am. Yeah, he's suing him. He's got to pay for lawyer fees, court fees. He's got to pay for pain and suffering. You've got to pay for all the time that I could have put this money somewhere else. Absolutely. Yeah, if I gave you $2 million, I want my money.

And the worst thing about this situation, man, Lee Daniels didn't even get to hear Diana Ross perform on Coming Out. You're stupid. You are stupid. You are stupid. That's the worst part about this whole situation, man. Lee Daniels didn't even get to hear Diana Ross perform. I'm coming out. You stupid. You are stupid. It's the worst part about this whole situation, man. And Lee Daniels better just be glad it wasn't old Dame Dash. Because Dame Dash, maybe 15 years ago, I don't think it would have went like that. You ever been in a club and your song is on

and somebody talking to you in your ear and all you want to do is get your groove on to that song? I'm coming out playing in Dame Dash and Lee Daniels' ear about this money. How do you know he's waiting to hear that song. I'm coming out playing in Dame Dash and Lee Daniels here about this money. How do you know he's waiting to hear that song? I just got a feeling. I just got a feeling. You a jerk. Alright. Well, thank you for that

talk here today. Up next, Ask Ye. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, call Ye right now. Again, the number 800-585-1051 should guide you with all your problems. Hit it up now. 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. It's time for Ask Yee. Now, you can call 800-585-1051 or you can email. What's the email, Yee? HelpMeYee at gmail.com. And you got an email, right?

Yes. So somebody actually slid in my DMs and said, Hello, Miss Yee. I love what you do. I never thought I'd be sliding in your DM with a dilemma. So I've been talking to a guy I formerly dated in the past, and I invited him over to cuddle. We fell asleep literally,

and I woke up in the middle of the night to his gas. He farts in his sleep. I could not sleep after that. He passed gas about four times throughout the night. I need some help, sis. Now, my response was this, because apparently she doesn't normally spend the night with him. This is the first time this happened.

She hasn't mentioned this has been an ongoing situation, so it could have just been something that he ate that night. We all know certain things don't agree with our stomachs. Maybe he had a milkshake. Maybe he had some ice cream. Maybe he had some cheese. Maybe he had tacos. We don't know what it is that he ate, but perhaps it was just something that he ate that night. What I would do is ask him, hey, you know you was farting all night. What did you eat before you went to bed? Just to let him know. It don't even got to be

embarrassing. You know, just make a little joke out of it, but let him know perhaps it doesn't agree with your stomach and see if it happens again. That's not necessarily a deal breaker. If it does happen again, you need to get a sheet and when he goes to sleep, wrap it around him like an enchilada and that way when he farts, it'll just be in his area. Well, Yee. Yes.

As a farter in my sleep, and the reason I know that is because my wife tells me, my kids tell me as well. There's nothing you can do. You just got to stay embarrassed. You just got to try to eat foods that don't stink. Exactly. It's really his diet. It just doesn't stink.

That's all. But it's going to happen. Whatever his diet is, that's what's causing him to fart and be gassy. And clearly something that doesn't agree with his stomach. So he's going to have to stay away from that, I guess, you know, sometime before he goes to sleep. But if not, I think she could wrap him up in a sheet. And that way, if he farts, only he smells it. You stupid.

Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? I'm anonymous, dog. I ain't trying to be in a dog house today. You feel me? I ain't mad at you. Anonymous. We'll call you anonymous, man.

What's your question for you? So my question for you, man, is how do I... Because, okay, long story short, I just got fired yesterday, man. You know what I mean? And my girl's been pressing me about getting a new job for the last two, three months. And I just got fired. So she's already on my trail. I told you it was going to happen.

I told you. I told you. You got to be comfortable. So my question to you is, how do I continue to ease my girlfriend's anxiety? She has bad anxiety. She's in nursing school. So all the income comes from me. So how do I ease her mind about, you know what I'm saying,

like me finding another next job while still finding that next job? You know what I mean? Like, does that make any sense? Well, first of all, let her know that she doesn't need to be pressing you about it because, you know, you are going to get out there and find another job. You don't want her to be anxious, but at the same time, you need her to be supportive. I mean, to be honest, I already got something set up on Friday with my old job.

Okay, so you have a job. So what's the problem? But, you know, my old job, you know what I'm saying? I made less money than what I was making now. So, you know, I can already hear her. Like, I don't want to backtrack. You know what I mean? Listen, tell her to relax.

We find solutions and move forward. The solution right now is I have a job. I get back with them on Friday, but I'm going to continue to look for something better. But in the meantime, the bills will get paid. Right, right, right. We might have to budget a little bit better, but the bills will get paid. And I am going to be very proactive in finding something better. I just need you to be supportive of me at this time.

And I still get, like, three more checks from the job. So it's like, you know what I mean? It's not like we're going to be all the way behind, you know? Right. So if I'm not, so, you know, I don't know. Y'all need to just sit down. Y'all should just sit down, come up with a budget so you know exactly where all the money is going

so she can see that everything is going to be taken care of and give yourself a time frame of when you're going to find something new and actively do that. Okay. But, you know, to sit around and be nervous and worried about something doesn't help. You gotta actually take action and find that solution. So, go ahead. Yeah, we just got into an argument.

I'm just dropping off the nurse at school, so I know she already, you know, like, you know, so it's just... Yeah, we're adults. Look, that's life. Things happen. It doesn't always go according to plan. Yeah, things happen. So, yeah, I appreciate that. I appreciate that for real, you know, because I just, like I said, I just wanted to kind of know how to keep, you know, like, probably do something. I appreciate that for real. Because I just, like I said, I just want to kind of know how to ease.

You know, like probably do something small for her or whatever. You know, but like I just definitely want to make her feel like everything's going to be okay. Just like how I ride for her while she's in nursing school. I tell her, don't worry about nothing. I mean that. You know what I mean? Like, because I know we got a bigger plan. Yes, that's dope.

It's a minor setback for a major comeback. All right. Well, ask Yee. 800-585-1051. You can call her right now or email her right now. What is it again, Yee. 800-585-1051. You can call her right now or email her right now. What is it again, Yee? Helpmeyee at gmail.com. Hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

N.V. Angela Yee, Charlamagne Naga. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? This is Des. Des, what's your question for Yee, bro? First things first. I watch y'all every morning. I really do appreciate everything y'all do for the culture, everything y'all do for the community. y'all do for the community for real for real thank you um but i got an issue uh last night my girl and i actually got into an argument over what i consider not cheating now

the activity i was doing she caught me watching like webcam girls uhcam Girls. Uh-huh. Now, here's the thing. I've never done that. Is that something that's live that you could, like, speak to them, or how does that work? Yeah, like, it's live. You can speak to them. You can chat. But I don't do, like, any chatting or whatever.

You just watch. I just watch. And it's really just me, like, indulging in fantasy. And a lot of times, like, I tell it straight up. Like, listen, I'm a Scorpio. Like, it involves you, these fans. You know, I just like variety with you. But she looks at it as, oh, you trying to step out.

Well, why would you do it? And I don't really know how to explain it to her. To you, it's just like watching porn. Yeah. And that's all you look at it as. You're not trying to meet up with these women. How often do you do this? Three times a week.

I'm going to say three times a week. And she knows you do it when she's not around. Exactly. I think that's the issue, too. What? So then she's looking at it as like, you know, I can't trust you. Why? Because you're not being open with me.

But how does she know then if she's not around? Oh, she checks my phone. What do you mean? She checks my phone. She checks the computer. She checks everything. I guess a lot of women aren't very comfortable, even with their men watching porn.

I think with the cam girls, it might be a whole nother situation if she doesn't completely understand it because she probably thinks you're looking at that in particular because you want to have conversations and interact with women. It's a lot more real than, say, watching a movie when it's somebody that you could speak to and respond to. And don't you have to pay for that? Nah, nah, nah, nah.

I mean, you don't have to pay. Like, you have to pay if you want to do something. But if you just watch, like, it's like going in the club and you, like, honestly, it's better than going to the strip club. You don't even have to pay a couple. Right. So to her, maybe this is a little too real for her now. I mean, listen, I don't really see anything wrong with watching porn. I don't know much about the whole cam girl situation.

But if you're not interacting, not speaking to them and not doing any of those things, then unless she has other issues with you and it's not just this, like, have you cheated in the past? Does she not trust you? No. And see, that's the whole thing. It's this same consistent pattern of behavior that makes me look crazy. All right. Well, here's the whole thing. It's this same consistent pattern of behavior that makes me look crazy. All right, well, here's my whole thing. If this relationship is that important to you,

then maybe you need to compromise and watch porn and not watch the cam girls. You're right. You're right. You know, because sometimes, you know, what relationships are is compromise. And if it's worth it to you, what's more important to you, these cam girls or your girlfriend? No, I mean, she's definitely more important. Definitely. Definitely.

So if it's something to her that is making her feel insecure for whatever reason and it's something that you can sacrifice or cut back on, then perhaps that's what you need to do. That's good advice. That's good advice. I appreciate that. And you could use that time, you know, more constructively doing something else. But, you know, just ask her, does she have a problem with porn? Does she have a problem with this? Let's just get it all on the table right now, just so I know what are

the parameters of what you are okay and not okay with. That's a good conversation I think we need to have. I appreciate that. Alright, good luck. Alright, ask Yeet. If you got a question for Yeet, you could call her at any time. Now, Yeet, we got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about reboots, find out about a classic

movie that you might be excited to see again come to life. Alright, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yeet, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Evelyn and Tammy.

Listen up. It's just the end. All the's get to the rumors. Let's talk Evelyn and Tammy. Listen up. It's just the end. All the gossip. The rumor report. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Well, this season of Basketball Wives has been pretty explosive. Now, on this latest episode, what everyone's talking about

is this particular scene between Tammy and Evelyn. You're a liar. You lied on Chad. I lied on Chad? You know you was fighting that man all along. What? All right, well, Evelyn Lozada went on Twitter and said, me and my ex-husband know the truth and that's all that matters.

My heart aches for the kids and our families having to relive this ish all over again because of someone's evil ways. And then she went on to say, hard episode to watch. Thanks for tuning in. This ish show continues for the rest of the season. She posted, the victim-blaming culture discourages domestic violence victims

when coming forward. The fear of being judged and shamed is enough to make anyone stay quiet and suffer in silence. So coming out is a huge deal. Shaming directed at the survivor is just wrong on so many levels. Now, Chad Otocinco's daughter also posted, I'm so grateful I have had the opportunity to love you through different phases of our lives. I loved you before you married my father.

When you took those vows, I thought my love for you had reached the highest level possible. I was wrong. My love for you multiplied tenfold when you left him, as it taught me that despite feelings, emotions, and commitments, you must always maintain a true commitment to yourself. I'm so lost. I feel like I got into the DeLorean and went back to the future. So what happened now?

Chad Oswalt and Evelyn are back together? No. What'd I miss? Evelyn and Tammy. What are you doing, man? I don't know what he was doing. Evelyn and Tammy were going back and forth about Evelyn's domestic violence situation. When Chad and her got into it back in the day?

Yes. Why is that coming up now? I don't know. Tammy said you lied on Chad. Evelyn said I lied on Chad. She said you knew you were fighting that man all along. So what she was saying is that Evelyn was the one fighting and that she lied about Chad and Evelyn is responding to not victim blame domestic

violence victims from coming forward. It all translates into big ratings for basketballball Wives, I'm sure. But that's a very serious topic for somebody, as you saw what her face looked like after their altercation. Very serious topic, but they're using it as a storyline as well. Let's be clear. Well, Evelyn, I think, was upset that it was even brought up at all and that things from the past are being dragged into the show now.

Storyline. That's what she's saying. Yeah, Basketball Wives could have took that out if they wanted to. Exactly, storyline. So, yes, that's what she's saying. Yeah, Basketball Wise could have took that out if they wanted to. Exactly. Storyline. So, yes, that's what's going on on Basketball Wise. Now, Sharni O'Neal is trying to bring the show to Atlanta or Chicago. So that's what's happening next if you guys are fans of the show.

All right, Tiana Taylor, she is planning to release a completed version of her Keep That Same Energy album. Now, she went and did an interview with Big Boy, and she talks about the album being incomplete. I feel like I wanted to give a mixture of both, but still not losing myself. If you notice, it's like different levels of R&B in this album, you know?

And then once y'all hear like... The album. Yeah, the album, like next week, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about because it's way more completed. Why not wait the extra week or two? Honestly, like I said, I just think it was more of a misunderstanding. So I think it was more so of them making

an executive decision of she been waiting for this moment, like let's do whatever it is that's going to make her happy. Not realizing that I probably would have waited that week. I wonder what that means. Is the mix not right? Is the mastering not right? I guess there was some samples in it, so she had to take it out.

They didn't have time to clear certain things, so she thought certain parts would be in songs that weren't in there. She explains it more. Here's what she had to say. When the album dropped, I didn't know that much stuff wasn't cleared. So when the album dropped and my friends woke me up like, yo, the album is out, I was excited, but I was also like, wait, so that means they was able to get everything

clear? It was really just an honest misunderstanding of me thinking like, oh, I was excited, but I was also like, wait, so that means they was able to get everything clear? Like, it was really just an honest misunderstanding of me thinking like, oh, maybe some shit happened overnight. It's amazing, don't get me wrong,

but imagine like when you got the record and it's fully completed. Right, right. So when you go and you vibing out and you singing a certain part

and then the music playing that part not there, it's like, wait, that was my favorite part, like, wait. I've been on Kanye's ass about promoting Tiana for years.

And I don't expect Def Jam to do much. I'm sorry, Natina. But the only thing that we can do for Tiana Taylor at this point is just buy her music. The music is there. Support her music. Her album 7 is there. The new album Keep the Same Energy is there. Go buy the music.

Yeah, she's extremely talented. Yeah, she's dope. Go scream the records. The records are there. That's the biggest extremely talented. Yeah, she's dope. Go scream the records. The records are dead. That's the biggest thing we can do for Gianna T. Allen. We can't rely on no label to promote her and market her

and keep blaming the label. Go buy her music. That has to be disappointing, though, when you think that your album is going to be a certain way. You haven't even heard it. It comes out, and certain things that you loved

are missing. So good that she is going to go ahead and actually put out a completed version of the album. Well, the thing is, the listeners would never know that unless she says something. Yeah, they would would never know that unless she says something. Yeah, they would have never known that.

We don't know what samples would they have. Right, but she knows. So now she wants to have those things because that's her baby. That's her album. I would have just said I'm putting out an album with bonus tracks or something, a bonus album. Well, she was being honest. I like the transparency.

But once again, Gold Scream, keep the same energy. All right, and now MTV is going to be doing a reboot of the classic stoner movie, How High. So in, and now MTV is going to be doing a reboot of the classic stoner movie, How High. So in this update, it's going to be two young but business-savvy stoners embark on a pot-filled odyssey

through Atlanta to find their missing weed only to uncover a vast government conspiracy. Yeah, I heard Mephiren aren't the stars of this one, though. Yeah, no, it's an update. They got to be in it, though,

so that's a way. But it is one of the film's original producers who is returning as the executive producer and so filming starts in Atlanta at the end of the summer. Mephile Red are the uncles. I believe. Mephile Red are the uncles and I
