The Breakfast Club
bitches.
Good morning
USA.
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, Good morning, USA! I'm sick right now Why are you sick? You are Let me tell you what I did I did some A-hole-ish
That's nothing new
You're beige
You can't help it
Nah, but I gotta fix this
I got about 10 minutes to fix it
So, you know, if you know me
You follow me
You know, Angelie and I own homes in Detroit
Properties in Detroit that we invested in
And, you know, I'm in the process of fixing one of them up.
So the construction, the guy that's actually doing the work on the house
called me yesterday, and what I'm doing to the house is a little different.
I'm putting down wood on the floor, on the whole downstairs floor.
They're going to do wood downstairs.
So he needed extra money.
So I couldn't get to the bank in time, so I said, I'll use Cash App.
All right, so he was like,
you know, it's going to be an additional $5,000,
so if you can't get it to the bank, just cash
at me the money. He sends me his
Cash App code, so I said... You sent it to the wrong person?
Boom! Here, send him the $5,000.
I'm eating with my wife.
30 minutes later, he hits me. He's like, yo, E, I never got the money.
You sent it to the wrong person.
I sent the $5,000 to the wrong
person. You're an idiot. But I... There's no getting it back, though. You can it to the wrong person. I sent the $5,000 to the wrong person. You're an idiot.
But I, I, I, there's no
getting it back, though. You can't cancel it? Doesn't
it take a little time? No, I can't get
it back. And they were closed last night, so they opened back
up at 6 o'clock, so I'm about to go in another room and call them.
Who's the wrong person? I don't
know. Well, drop on the clothes bonds for that person
that's getting a blessing this morning.
That person is getting a $5,000
blessing this morning. We're going to try to stop that blessing.
That man or woman...
But they hold it for a little while.
It doesn't automatically
come out of your account.
It should be pending still.
I hope so because that $5,000
is gone.
It's out my account.
That man or woman got on their knees
and they prayed.
The first is tomorrow.
Rent is due.
Mortgage is due.
Bills are due.
And they needed that blessing.
Look on Cash App
and see if it says pending.
I try.
Well, Cash App says delivered.
My bank says pending.
God is so good to somebody this morning.
Salute to that person who got that $5,000 blessing.
So did you have the wrong person, or did he send you the wrong information?
So let's say your Cash App is Ye the Great.
His is Ye the Great One.
So I sent it to Ye the Great.
Okay, so you messed up.
I definitely messed up.
You know who was great?
God.
God is great, and God blessed the person who got that $5,000 blessing.
Drop one of the clues, Barney.
God works in mysterious ways.
God had something happen to you so he can work through you,
and now somebody got $5,000.
You might have really helped somebody out that needed it.
I needed it.
I got five kids.
Man, let that blessing go.
No, that blessing's
not going nowhere.
You in here talking about
all the houses that you bought
and all kinds of stuff.
I got five kids.
I got to make sure
I'm retired and playing
for a long time.
You made an investment
in somebody last night
and it was a $5,000 investment.
I don't know.
Okay.
I don't know him like that.
Man, that's nice that you did that.
I didn't do that.
You're a good guy.
No, no.
You're all good, dude.
No, no.
It is going to come back to you
in a lot of positive ways.
How do I know I'm not sending it to somebody that's not a nice person?
That's an evil person.
That's a bad person.
I don't think they would have cash.
Somehow their karma was right.
They wouldn't have cash.
How do you know they don't have cash?
Evil people have GoFundMes.
They send us the links all the time.
They have GoFundMes for absolutely nothing.
You know how many cash requests I get all the time?
Yeah, me too.
I just put ignore.
Ignore.
I decline, decline, decline.
So if you don't hear me much in this hour,
that's because I'm on
the other line with cash app
because I got to get
this bread back.
All right, handle it.
This is ridiculous.
Anyway, Omar Epps
is going to be on the show
this morning.
I wouldn't know that.
The legend.
I don't have no paperwork
in front of me.
Send Omar Epps a cash app.
The legendary Omar Epps will be on the show next hour.
He's got a new book called, what is it called?
From Fatherless to Fatherhood.
There you go.
Fatherhood, yes.
So we'll kick it with Omar Epps.
I'm sick.
And we got front page news, G?
Yes, we are going to talk about somebody who's not sick.
A homeless man that was handing out resumes.
We'll tell you how that panned out for him.
And also we will discuss the California
wildfires and all the people
who've had to evacuate their homes.
Alright, we'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
I don't want to hear
about your problems this morning, alright?
I came in here this morning to decompress.
I was watching the Trayvon Martin story on VAT.
I had to turn it off. I could only
watch 30 minutes. I couldn't do it to myself. My heart started beating all crazy. I was watching the Trayvon Martin story on BET last night. Oh, I watched that last night, too. I had to turn it off. I could only watch 30 minutes. I couldn't do it to myself.
I watched it.
My heart started beating all crazy.
I was crying.
I was watching it.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
I was so sad.
Oh, anxiety started to go through the roof.
I had to turn it off.
And it's crazy how the police department can justify not investigating or arresting Zimmerman.
Like, I don't understand that.
I mean, it was technically following the law, but that's why that law needs to be adjusted
in Florida.
That's stand your ground law. Sabrina Fulton, Trayvon's mom, to be adjusted in Florida. That's standing your ground law.
Sabrina Fulton, Trayvon's mom, said she hadn't even heard
of the stand your ground law until then.
I didn't hear of it until then.
Alright.
Let's get into some front page news.
Let's talk about these wildfires, G.
Now, this is a really sad story,
so I'm going to just give you a disclaimer
before we get started, because the audio is going to be
difficult to listen to.
But there are at least 19 people still
reported missing because of the
fires raging in Northern California.
They said it's so large and so hot
that it's creating its own localized
weather system with variable
strong winds so it makes it difficult for experts
to predict which way the blaze
is going to spread. So far the
fire, which started a week ago, is only 23% contained.
Now, it's claimed already six lives,
which includes a firefighter and a bulldozer operator
working to extinguish the blaze.
Among those people killed, among those six deaths,
are the 70-year-old Melody Bledsoe and her great-grandchildren.
And here's some audio of them actually calling Ed Bledsoe.
He could not get through to his wife and great-grandchildren.
He said, come and get me.
He said, come and get me.
The fire's coming in the back door.
Come on, Grandpa.
I said, I'm right down the road.
He said, come and get us.
Emily said, I love you, Grandpa.
Grandma says, I love you, Grandpa. And Junior says, I love you. Come and get us. Come and get us. Emily said, I love you, Grandpa. Grandma says, I love you, Grandpa.
And Junior says, I love you.
Come and get us.
Come and get us.
I said, I'm on my way.
Y'all just want me to be sad all day long.
Yeah, he left to go to the store and just avoided this.
And the family, his great-grandchildren, calling him on the phone.
All right.
What else are we talking about, Yee?
Well, here's a good story.
A homeless man was handing out resumes in Silicon Valley.
David Caceres, he's a college graduate.
He was holding a sign that said, homeless, hungry for success, take a resume.
He was actually handing out his resume to motorists in Mountain View, California, where Google is headquartered.
And guess what?
He's gotten over 200 offers since.
That's great.
A lot more people just because a woman posted it
and it went viral.
So now everybody's
trying to get in touch with him.
We throw that word homeless
around too loosely now.
Like, there's some people
out here that are
really, really homeless.
What did you say he was?
A what?
He's a college grad.
Yeah, so he's probably
in between places
to stay right now.
He's not homeless.
Well, that makes you
not having a home.
Nah, you know what I mean
when I mean homeless.
It's levels to homelessness. He calls mean homeless. It's levels to homelessness.
He calls himself homeless, though.
It's levels to homelessness.
Yeah, I agree.
You understand what I'm saying?
Like, we just throwing that word homeless around.
There was a guy outside the restaurant last night.
He was homeless.
The man we just saw is dressed nice.
He's passing out his resumes in Silicon Valley.
Like, you know.
Yeah, the guy last night, I am sure couldn't get a resume done,
anything printed up.
He definitely doesn't have a suit.
He didn't care if it was food or money last night.
That's, there's a level.
But we can't, hold on, no,
we can't stereotype what that is
because there's a lot of people
who have went to college
and did all the things
that you don't even think
stereotypically they'd be homeless.
And because of hard times or whatever might happen
we don't even know what happened in his real
life. He could be homeless. You can't just assume
because he's dressed nicely and he's done
this as a marketing. All I'm saying is levels to homelessness.
Yeah, I agree.
He had a fresh haircut.
That's all I'm saying.
That's not New York homeless.
New York homeless is a little different.
You would be surprised at people who are homeless.
I've been...
We actually serve food in a homeless shelter,
and a lot of people there were very clean cut
with decent clothes on and everything.
You can't just look at somebody...
I'm not talking about just appearance.
I'm just saying I think it's levels of homelessness.
That's all I'm saying.
Okay?
Because that guy had a resume.
He's fresh out of college.
Okay.
He's down in Silicon Valley.
By the way, it's a great way to get noticed.
By the way, great way to get noticed.
Great marketing tool.
I can't say that he's not had it rough.
All right.
Well, last front page news.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent.
Hit us up right now.
Maybe you were sending some money to somebody through the cash app and sent it to the wrong person.
And now you might be out $5,000.
Maybe that pissed you off.
Hey, for all you know, that person that you sent that $5,000 to could have been homeless.
And then they won't be after they receive that money.
Okay, that's a nice down payment on a nice low apartment.
Drop on the clues bombs for that person.
All right, I am happy for the blessing that they received.
I'm getting that money back.
All right.
No, I'm getting that money back. Well, whatever
it is, if you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up
now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
It's your time to get it off your chest, whether
you're mad or blessed.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?

What's up, bro? Get it off your chest.
I want to get off my chest that I'm blessed
that the fact that I
finally got myself out of financial struggle
and I'm actually
living life really good
right now with me and my family and my wife and my daughter.
Congratulations, my brother.
Did you get that $5,000 from Envy
through Cash App? Nah, F that. We getting that money back. Actually, actually, no, I didn't. I wish I did, though. No Did you get that $5,000 from Envy through Cash App? Nah, F that.
We getting that money back.
Actually, actually, no, I didn't.
I wish I did, though.
No, you didn't.
You're going to have to send that back.
All right, thank you.
Somewhere in America right now, somebody has $5,000 richer via Cash App, and they have
no idea.
I would love to hear from you this morning.
The right thing to do is to give that money back.
It's just like if money falls off a brink truck, it doesn't mean that's your money.
You got to give that money back.
Well, guess what?
There ain't no brink truck. You sent it
to them. Alright. Okay.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Julian.
What's up, Julian? Get it off your chest, bro.
I'm just upset because
my brother-in-law, he's getting married
on Friday, and I wasn't
invited to, like,
he got married going through the
court, and they didn't invite me.
So it got me upset because they only call me when they need me.
You know, if he needs me for something, that's the only time he calls me.
But who did he invite?
Well, he invited the family,
but then they cut me off the wedding without telling me.
Oh, my gosh.
You must be annoying.
Something's not right. Then he needed me. They must be annoying. Something's not right.
Then he needed me.
They needed me to be part of it again.
You know what I mean?
He wanted me to be the best man, but now...
Now he don't want you?
They were using you for your money, bro.
I don't want to do it now.
They were using you for your money, bro.
Well, it ain't about money, bro.
It's just about...
It's a principle, you know?
If I help them all the time, why are you
going to do that to me? Now that you don't have
nobody, now you want to come and have me
be in there? I'm good, though. Alright, man.
Wagwan.
Wagwan. Get it off your chest,
brethren. Good morning. Good morning.
Good morning.

I didn't know what you were talking about.
But anyway, go ahead, man.
What's up?
You high.
You delusional.
No, no.
The past week when Wiz Khalifa was there.
Oh, Wiz Khalifa was here.
That was a couple days ago.
Wow.
What's up, man?
Yeah, I just wanted to drop a few bars about the weed.
Is that okay?
Man, I thought you were about to say you want to drop some weed off here.
I was about to say great.

800-585-1051.
Tree.
I just wanted to say tree.
I know there's no three in the number, but tree.
Yeah, don't confuse the people.
We knew that some markets, salute to Toronto, and you're talking about power 105.13.
All right, all right.
First of all, we're on in a 50, 80-plus market, sir.
All right.
800-585.
Jesus Christ.
You think the 80 markets understood him?
No.
Get it off your chest.
Call us now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Let's go.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed.
Let's say it with your chest.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
So if you got something on your mind, let it out.
Hello, who's this?
This is Ashley from Chesapeake.
Ashley from the 757.
Get it off your chest, mama.
Hey, I was just calling to say how I'm blessed.
I lost my job a month ago, but I've still been able to, you know,
pay my bills, keep my room over my kid's head.
There you go.
The first is tomorrow.
Don't be afraid of it.
You got your money?
You got your rent money ready?
Oh, I got half of it.
Don't worry.
You get the other half on the next payday.
Oh, yeah.
All right, mama.
Hello, who's this?
What's up, Envy?
Hey, Trav.
What's up, Trav?
Oh, my gosh.
Hi, Trav.
Me.
I just, you know what's so crazy, Envy?
What?
Somebody just, like, the other day, I actually just DMed you the screenshot.
Somebody accidentally cashed at me like two days ago.
You trying to blame us for that?
How much?
They sent me like 80 bucks.
That's nice.
I was sitting at my desk and I got the notification
and somebody sent me 80 bucks.
I was like, what in the world?
Oh, let me see this.
So I just took it as a blessing.
Why are y'all so upset about these random blessings y'all receiving?
Wait, hold on.
You said they asked for it back.
Yeah, so like 30 minutes later, I got another request,
and it was a request for $80 in the notes field.
It said, hey, I was sent by accident.
Please send back.
Did you give it back?
Yeah, I sent it back because I didn't want bad karma.
There you go.
I'll take $80 yesterday and then lose $280 next week.
What if it was $5,000?
$5,000? I feel like Cash App is going to go in my account and take80 next week. That's right. What if it was $5,000? $5,000?
I feel like Cash App is going to go in my account and take that back anyway.
That's right.
I'm calling Cash App in five minutes.
We're going to get that money back.
That could be God's digital way of testing people.
That's true, too.
You know what I'm saying?
Let me give you this money, and then when you get that alert,
talk about sending it back.
Let me see what's really in your heart.
But listen, I actually called to talk about Nicki today.
Okay.
Nicki who? Here we go.
He does not like the barbs. Which Nicki?
You know Nicki. Oh, Minaj, okay. We're talking
about Nicki Minaj, the one that blocked me.
Okay. And ever since she,
until she unblocked me, ain't nothing
gonna go right by her. So you wanted
to unblock you now. Fifi's
the number four song in the country, featuring
Takashi69, featuring Nicki.
Fifi's the number four song in the country, though. 69 featuring Nicki. Fifi's the number four song in the country, though.
Yeah, and actually, she did kill Fifi.
She actually killed her.
I'm not mad at Fifi.
But I don't know about this Forbes magazine.
Oh, man.
It was written about her.
Yes, I read that article.
And I can say that I think a lot of that came from his hate towards Takashi 69.
But I do want to say what he said about her musically, he honestly said no lies.
Why don't you tell everybody
your Instagram
so she can unblock you?
You better not.
Them bums attack your ass.
Why don't you DM her
my Instagram, Yee,
so she can unblock me?
She probably not speaking
to Yee now either.
Oh, yeah.
She probably don't like
none of y'all.
I will say that
that Forbes article,
it seemed like it came
from a good place
but I will say
out of those six songs
she's released,
I dig two of them. I like Chun-Li and I like
Fifi.
One more thing, Charlamagne. Yes.
Next time you ever
go visit one of the girls, like a
Cam Yonce or a Roland Ray, please
bring me. You want me to bring you?
I need to be there, Charlamagne.
Cam Yonce, my partner. I like Cam
Yonce. Cam Yonce is funny as hell.
Cam Yonce seems like he's funny as hell.
Roland Ray seems kind of evil.
He's got a lot of bitterness inside of him.
But Cam Yonce is cool.
If you don't know what he's talking about, he's talking about this show,
an EP called Catfish Troll.
I didn't know what was going on.
That comes on every Wednesday at 10 p.m.
The Shade Room posted a clip from last week's episode.
It's only three episodes.
You've got to watch that.
You've definitely got to watch that.
Tomorrow's the last episode, 10 p.m. on MTV. Bye, y'all. Bye. It was actually three episodes. You got to watch that. You definitely got to watch that. Yes, Trav. Tomorrow's the last episode, 10 p.m. on MTV.
Bye, y'all.
Bye, Trav.
It was actually three episodes.
The last episode we shot was actually the Cam Yonce,
Roland Ray episode.
They shut production down after that.
After Cam Yonce threw that water on Roland Ray,
and Roland Ray was in an electric wheelchair.
That could have been bad.
I don't know.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
We got rumors on the way, E?
Yes, let's talk about Demi Lovato.
We have an update on her and what's going on.

All right, we'll get into all that.
And Omar Epps will be joining us next hour.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
You have to be mean to somebody when you really don't want to be mean to them. Well, then it makes sense. You usually end up in your feelings. It's a progression. Mm-hmm. The Breakfast Club. Tomorrow is the first. That is a blessing to somebody. I thought Cash App was open at 6, but it's not open at 6 Eastern time.
Listen, the money is gone.
I got to wait till 9.
You keep talking about it.
You're going to get done here today for it.
You got to call your bank.
When is your bank open?
My bank doesn't open until 7 a.m.
Why are you trying to take back the blessing that God bestowed on you to give to somebody else?
You think it was an accident that you sent $5,000 to somebody via Cash App?
I know that person got that money and they're like, nice for what? Yes, that was an accident. You think it was an accident that you sent $5,000 to somebody via cash out? I know that person got that money
and they're like,
nice for what?
Yes, that was an accident.
No, it wasn't.
That was God's way of saying,
I need you to help somebody
and you don't even know
why you're helping them.
We're doing all Drake lyrics
this morning.
That was God's plan.
I gotta come back.

It's the Rumor Report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, Demi Lovato is still in the hospital after overdosing on drugs last week.
They're saying she's very sick.
She's suffering extreme nausea, high fever, amongst other things.
And that's all the complications related to the overdose.
We don't know exactly when she's going to get out,
but they did say she's under the care of medical experts.
They expect her to make a full recovery.
And right now she's not even talking about going to rehab.
She can't even think about that because she does need it to save her life,
but she's just not in good shape.
She's just still very sick.
Now her backup dancer, who is a close friend of hers,
has also been attacked online. They're saying that she allegedly. Now, her backup dancer, who is a close friend of hers, has also been attacked online.
They're saying that she allegedly instigated her drug use.
And there were reports saying the incident happened after a night out celebrating her birthday.
But Danny Vitale has said that she was not with Demi at the time of the incident.
And she said, just no negativity right now.
I was not with Demi when the incident happened.
I'm with her now and will continue to be because she means the world to me just as she does to all of you.
It doesn't matter if he or she was with Demi or not.
Demi is a grown-ass woman who made choices.
That is true, but if that person's a bad influence on their life,
then Demi shouldn't be around that person.
You still make choices.
Yeah, still, but some people are vulnerable to things,
and you don't need a negativity-bad person around your life.
She's basically saying that I have nothing but love in my heart for her.
There's no need for any negativity towards the ones who care about Demi at this time.
There's too much of it in this world as it is.
So for people that think it's her fault, she's saying no, not at all.
It's nobody's fault except for Demi because Demi made the choice to do drugs.
All right, now Dwayne The Rock Johnson, he just did something great on the gram.
He actually ended up giving his stunt double, who, by the way, is also his cousin,
Tanoya Reid, a very special gift, and he posted it online.
Here it is.
Scorpion King was our first movie together.
Oh, yeah, and then when I saw him, I was like, oh, my God, looks like my twin.
The truth is, he's been an incredible partner and brother to me.
It's been an honor, Uso, and I want to say from the bottom of my heart,
I love you, I thank you, and enjoy your new truck.
No, no.
That's exactly what you need to say to that person you sent that $5,000
through via Cash App, Andy.
I love you, and congratulations.
Enjoy your truck. Enjoy your $5,000. I don't know if I love them. I love you, and congratulations.
Enjoy your $5,000. I don't know if I love them.
I don't know if they're a good person.
Well, as a stunt double, he's broken multiple bones,
severed tendons, torn ligaments,
and just been a badass,
achieving several stunt man of the year honors.
He deserves that truck, yeah.
I hope he got the same kind of health care the Rock got.
That's what I hope.
Yeah, I hope so, too.
All right, Chrissy Teigen admitted something.
She admitted that she got very jealous when John Legend's Green Light video was being shot.
Now, she went on Twitter and told the whole entire story about the video.
She said it began with our friends, John's manager and co-writers, and a couple of others talking about how beautiful some of the women were on set.
And they were, but in my mind, they not only were talking about it,
they were talking about it on purpose to rile me up.
Looking back and knowing how well I know them now,
they were definitely riling me up
and getting a kick out of it.
I was watching the monitor with all the guys
and someone, I can't remember who said,
ooh, look at that girl with John.
So I watched the monitor like a psychotic hawk.
And in my mind, he was in trouble.
Keep in mind, John and I met on a video.
I was that girl. I know how
this ish works. He probably laughed
at something she said and in my mind it was some
grand conversation I was conjuring up.
They were probably just talking about craft
services, but in my mind she was like, hey,
we should bone and he was like, ha ha, F yeah.
And she said she lost it.
Anger turned to sobbing, turned to fleeing the set
and getting a hotel room. The director
was baffled. Everyone was. But she said
she was just a jealous, angry 22
year old at the time. Nothing wrong with a little
jealousy and anger to let me know you care.
My friends better not play that
game with my wife.
You want your friends to play that game with your wife?
What do you mean? You shoot a video and they're like, oh, she's
bad. Oh, she's...
It wasn't his wife at the time. She was only 22
years old. She said now that she knows them, she's, no. It wasn't his wife at the time. She was only 22 years old.
She said now that she knows them, she realizes they were doing that on purpose.
All right, Tokyo.
It's good to let people know that, you know, I still got it.
That's right.
Okay, it's good.
I'm good that you show me a little jealousy.
Let me know you care.
But I get it.
She was upset because she met him on set of a video, too.
And she was like, you know, uh-uh.
We know how this turned out.
All right, now let's talk about Tokyo Tony.
That's a black Chinese mom.
She's going in on her daughter and said something that she probably could never, ever take back.
Now, if you remember last week, she reached out to Amber Rose on social media.
She said, hey, Amber Rose, you're the only person that I know who my daughter who that knows my daughter who does not fear her.
Can you do me a favor? If it's anywhere deep in your heart, can you please tell her?
I said, let me see those kids. I'm so very sorry to come at you in this way on social media, but there's no other way. Well, she also posted this. Black China, the name I gave you was Angela Renee.
The disrespect that you have been giving me for the past quite a few years,
I've tolerated it because I'm your mama,
you're the only child,
but you better keep in mind I'm a bad bitch.
What?
See, you wouldn't be where the f*** you are
if it wasn't for me.
Oh, f*** birthing you bitch.
That was a mistake. You was a statutory
rape baby. Jesus Christ.
I wouldn't let you see my kids either. I'm sorry.
Yeah I mean first of all to me like that.
Well that sounds justified. And that's not Black Chyna's
fault. That's the way she was conceived. And not letting her see the kids.
And that's not Black Chyna's fault. That's the way she was
conceived. And why she said that like it's an insult to
Black Chyna. And Black Chyna I would tell you call
your mama but I can see why you don't.
There's no way right now you would say,
oh, you need to call her.
And you know when you pray to God to take negativity out of your life,
he's not swinging that spirit.
He's swinging that people and things
that are in your environment, that negativity.
And it could be people close to you,
including your mother.
So bye-bye, mama.
That's awful.
All right, well, I'm Angela Yee,
and that is your Rumor Report.
Remember when Tokyo Jets just randomly came up here one time?
She said she came to see you.
Not Tokyo Jets. Who's the Tokyo Jets? Yeah, Tokyo Jets up here one time? She said she came to see you.
Not Tokyo Justice.
Who's the Tokyo Justice?
Yeah, Tokyo Justice was here.
She was invited.
Black China.
Tokyo Tony.
Tokyo Tony.
Tokyo Tony, yeah. You remember that?
Yeah, she said you invited her.
That made no sense.
I don't even know her.
And you took a picture with her.
I did take a picture with her, though.
Okay, so you did invite her.
She was like,
I'm Black China's mama.
I'm like, Black China got a mama?
Of course she did.
At the time, it didn't sound real.
Remember, it was like three years ago.
Her name was Tokyo something.
And I'm like, huh?
I don't even sound right.
All right, all right.
When we come back, Omar Epps will be joining us.
So we'll kick it with Omar Epps.
Don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
A legend, man.
A legend.
Show some respect.
Omar Epps.
What's up, my brother?
What's good?
What's good?
So before we get this started, what was your favorite Omar Epps movie?
Juice is always the most memorable.
I know that was your first one ever.
Yes.
But that kind of just solidified everything.
So when I think Omar Epps, first and foremost, I always think of Juice.
Charlamagne?
I mean, I like Juice.
But then Loving Basketball.
I might say the word.
But as a girl as a girl
loving basketball was like juice loving basketball legendary mine is because that's like a dream
relationship what was your favorite um i i don't necessarily have a favorite but there's nothing
like the first so juice was just magical bro like me it's pop, it's Pac, it's Ernest Diggins, Sam Jackson, Latifah.
Like, it was just a magical time for us, the culture, hip-hop.
Like, it was crazy.
I was 17 when I did that job.
Wow.
I'm like, I'm in a movie, right?
Sorry.
But I'm talking about, no, in real life.
Like, at that time, I'm like, I'm living in a movie.
Like, my life was just happening in a way that's just incredible.
I'm jealous and envious of anybody who got a chance to build with Pac.
And Pac always said if you ask 10 different people what they think about Pac,
you get 10 different answers.
So I'm going to ask you, what did you think about Pac?
Pac was everything that you would imagine he was.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, he was a powerful, powerful brother.
You know those people, like, and you don't have to be a celebrity.
There's people that you meet that have an energy around them
or around them that's kind of larger than life.
Absolutely.
He was one of them dudes, you know, where you didn't even have to know.
It wasn't about being famous.
It's just like, yo, who's this dude, man?
And you sit down and you build with him.
He's like, yo, this dude is plugged in in a whole different way.
A lot of people say Pac, the th thug life poc came after he played bishop like he never
got out of that character did you see a change it was a little bit you know i think i think he was
he pushed it a little bit more but poc you know he was energetic and he was passionate and and um
he was passionate about the hood, you know what I mean?
Because he's a revolutionary with what he came from, with his moms,
God bless his dad and all of that.
But he walked with that.
You know, he walked with that revolutionary feel, the knowledge.
He was big about, like, whenever, you know, traveling somewhere,
it's like you hit the hood first because that's where the pulse of the people
is really at.
And it's crazy because when I think about it now,
it's like part of that mentality is kind of
what led to certain things,
you know, but that was part.
Now, how did you get the role, the starring role
in Juice as your
first movie, the star?
I went to LaGuardia
High School Performing Arts.
And he went to school with Marlon Wayans by the way
Yeah
They hated each other at first
I know he was
He was up there
Yesterday
Yeah
But
But yeah so
Fresh out of high school
Auditioning
I was
Figuring out you know
Should I go to college
Or you know
I was one of them like
Yo I'm gonna take a year off
And figure out you know
Figure out what I wanna do
Got this audition For this movie And they did it like A cattle call I was one of them like, yo, I'm going to take a year off and figure out, you know, figure out what I want to do.
Got this audition for this movie and they did it like a cattle call, which is like meaning they seeing everybody, everybody, thousands of people, whatever.
Went up there and, you know, one thing led to the next.
And you tried out for the main role or did you try for pox part or yeah well the way that it
worked was originally i went in for for the character q but they was you know because it
was four people so it was like yo moving things around all right well come back in and read this
role all right you come back in and read this role and then they was grouping us together
like all right y'all two come in and read for these. And it was just like this. They were trying to figure out the chemistry.
And then they took us to a dinner where it was like eight of us.
You know, and then after that, I'll never forget.
This is when I used to live in East New York.
And I was at the crib one day, dolo, and phone rang.
It's before cell phones.
Before cell phones.
So you was at the house
literally waiting on that call.
Not waiting,
but just at the crib.
Phone ring is Ernest Dickerson.
He was like,
hey, what's up, brother?
You know,
then I was like,
yo, what's going on?
He was like,
well, you know,
I want to tell you,
you got the role.
Word?
Yo, thank you.
You know,
just, you know,
grateful.
You know,
we hung up,
called moms.
Yo, ma,
I got the role.
My mom's like,
oh, yeah, that's cool.
You know what I mean? Because it was, you never expected it was going to be that big. Yeah, we hung up, called Moms. Yo, Ma, I got the roll. My mom's like, oh, yeah, that's cool. You know what I mean?
Because it was...
You never expected it was going to be that big.
Yeah, my mom's, it didn't hit her
until we was at the premiere, Juice,
and we was sitting like a seat away from Diana Ross.
That's when I see my mom's was like, oh.
Diana Ross was at the premiere, Juice.
Yeah, man.
Really?
Diana Ross.
Wow.
You see Tracy?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. How much you got paid with that, $5,000? $12,000. $12,000. Really? Diana Rose. Wow. You see Tracy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
How much you got paid
with that, $5,000?
$12,000.
$12,000.
$12,000.
Wow.
$12,000 to a 17-year-old kid
from Brooklyn,
and you like...
That's everything.
You thinking that's like $120.
You like, yo,
I'm getting the whip.
You know what I'm saying?
You have royalties
or any of that?
You probably still
owe taxes on it.
No. I take care still owe taxes on it. No.
I take care of my taxes.
What I like about your early story is you talk about the confidence that you had.
Like you knew you were going to get into LaGuardia.
And it kind of is like sometimes we get so nervous, we talk ourselves out of things.
But you just knew it.
Even afterward, $12,000 is like people thought you were rich yeah after
seeing you and just assume well he's starring in a movie everybody knows him yeah they think
i mean that people still have that perception when they see people get on and on and but you
know for me it was it was all you know it was about the marathon you know what i mean like
i think being so young i think when you're young your naivete
shields you from the realities of the business you know what i mean you're young you're thinking like
this is what it's gonna be you're just happy to be popping people know you yeah people know you
but for me it was you know going back to that that that craft part like you know my hero was
sydney portier growing up as far as as. So, you know, looking at his history and all of that,
it was just like, that's the path.
I wanted to carve my own path, but in that way.
And, you know, our culture, hip-hop is of that time.
So I'm feeling like, oh, it's popping, but it's a marathon.
It's not a sprint.
So I wasn't solely focused on this one moment.
It was like, all right, how do I make this breathe?
You know, how I stretch this out?
Because, you know, in what I do as far as acting,
it's like, it's tough to make a living out of this, you know?
You've been doing it for over two decades now, though.
Yeah, and I'm blessed.
I'm blessed.
That ain't nothing but the grace of God, but it's tough.
You got to stay working.
I'm going to change my movie, too, my favorite on my E I'm going to change my movie to my favorite on my EPS movie.
I just thought about what my favorite on my EPS movie is.
What's that?
In Too Deep.
All right.
In Too Deep is my favorite on my EPS movie.
You want to hear something funny?
You went to that premiere?
That is an underrated classic.
Okay, so my boy Gando Grylls was in that, right?
Yeah.
And he's the one in the scene with the pool stick.
Yes, yes, I know.
So I just remember.
You don't want you saying that right now.
No, no, no, because I was sitting next to him when it happened in the movie theater.
And I just remember when that was happening, I looked.
You love it.
You love it.
Say you love it.
It was so awkward.
Yo, El did his thing in that movie, yo.
He did get busy.
He got busy because he really wanted to show he had the chops.
Gano wasn't really feeling it.
I know, he was sitting right next to me.
The concept of that.
Because El was like, nah, I'm going to do this. That wasn't really feeling the concept of that. When it was like, because L was like, nah, we're going to do it.
I want to do this.
That wasn't like written into the script.
No, wait a minute.
He is a savage.
Who thinks of that?
Wait a minute.
But that's, you know, that's what you do as an actor.
It's like, yo, you can take this moment, take that moment, whatever.
So I just thought he was just like, this is how gangsters do it. That was on the right side of the stick, though.
God.
Well, of course.
Yeah.
That's what I'm saying.
Ghetto was like, come on.
That was LL's idea.
How did you convince the director and everybody and the guy to lay down on the pool?
Because we was in that flow.
Like, you trying to create that authenticity.
So that was a great moment for L.
Absolutely.
I mean, because that scene was L.
That's a memorable scene.
Most of the memorable scenes
you see in any movie
come from moments like that, where
it's the artist
either improvising or
they've crafted something like, we're gonna take it
this way, take it that way.
And then, you know, people are just in the moment,
because essentially that's what it is.
You're living
in the moment. Alright, when we come back, we got to talk about his new book,
From Fatherless to Fatherhood.
Also, growing up without a dad in his life.
All right, 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.
We got a special guest in the building,
actor Omar Epps.
The name of your book is From Fatherless to Fatherhood.
Yeah.
You did all of this without a dad being in your life.
Yeah.
So now, how strong is your mom
or how strong is your family to keep you on that right road
to teaching you how to be a man?
I wouldn't be here without moms.
You know, my mom's an educator in the Board of Ed for 30 years.
Everybody from New York, you know, that everybody from new york if you know that
was around in that time you know who my mom's is she taught a lot of people and um she's just a
incredible human being but yeah i grew up without my father and when i was a kid that was normal
you know it still is normal and that's why i wrote the book you know to try to change the
narrative i know you i salute to you by the way you know you out there with your with your kids
holding it down five of them that's right you feel what i'm saying and and that's a beautiful thing
and the concept came from a moment i had with my son we all working here especially as men you know
if you work in family it's hard and i had I had like a 15-hour day one day.
I came home.
I just wanted to go to sleep.
Wifey was like, yo, he still up, whatever.
And I'm like, all right.
And a thought went through my head like, at least I'm here, you know.
And, of course, you know, I love my kids to death and all of that.
But I'm like.
That's not enough.
It kept echoing in my head like, where'd that come from?
And I went on a journey
to try to discover the origins of that because i questioned whether growing up without a father
had somehow crept into my fatherhood you know and i just started writing and halfway through
i was like man maybe my my story could be used as a tool of inspiration to others right you know
what i mean and so that we want to talk about changing the narrative because we've made massive strides.
Y'all have people in here
with the statistics
and all of that.
You know,
the black community
and black men.
Yeah,
we've made massive strides
but I'm in the streets.
It's a lot of cast
that's still not
holding it down.
Yeah.
So how do we really,
you know,
shift that?
How do we change
that narrative
to where,
you know,
almost making it
like a trend? I think what you said, you know, showing and proving. You know what I narrative to where, you know, almost making it like a trend?
I think what you said,
you know, showing and proving.
You know what I'm saying?
Just seeing people,
seeing men with their kids
and displaying their kids
and loving their kids
and being proud to be fathers
and talking about being
with their children.
Right.
That's it.
You said something interesting, too.
You said that the absence
of having a father
crept into your fatherhood
was like you didn't know
how to be a father, you think?
No, no.
Not that I didn't know
how to be a father, but thinking? No, no. Not that I didn't know how to be a father,
but thinking of the...
The financial is not equal
to the time that you spend
with your kids.
No, not at all.
But think about the subtleties
and the nuances of just parenthood,
even motherhood in general.
In society, just the way
that women are naturally maternal,
even little girls,
always, you know,
taking care of,
taking care, you know,
and as men,
the way the societal
construct is it's like we're kind of disconnected from that so it's it's you know it's a thing but
it don't have to always be a thing and we could sit here and you could have you know the doctors
with the phds talk about what where does it come from we hear now like we we acknowledge that we
see this we see that but what are we gonna do? And so you got to have the courage to do that.
And you got to have the patience to recognize that, you know, this woman is hurt.
You know, there may be some scorn there.
There may be some this.
And then even for the woman piece, there has to be forgiveness.
Because when two people decide to have a child, right, they're making a lifelong commitment to the other person.
Right.
Not just the child.
Right.
Because y'all are going to have this creation for the rest of your life.
You know, so when you think about it in that way, then you have to hold that relationship.
No matter what happens, if it dissolves, if it goes this way, goes that way, y'all still have this responsibility.
So there's a respect you have to have for that other person.
Is it true you only spent four days total with your father in your whole life?
Yeah.
Damn.
I only met my pops once when I was 12 years old.
But you seen him.
You drove past him and you seen him.
Well, that was later.
Yeah, later in life.
That was a movie too.
So I met my pops when I was 12.
Four days.
And then after that, he was absent again.
So skip forward.
I'm 18, 19.
It was on my second movie.
I had the BM-325, you know what I'm saying?
And I'm riding down Rogers Avenue in Brooklyn
and I got a shorty with me.
We go past the mosque on Fulton
because my father was Muslim.
Go up to the red light and there's a dude on the corner
selling incense and books. And I red light and there's a dude on the corner selling incense
and books and I look over and it's
my pops. And I'm like, yo,
see that dude right there? That's man,
I'm a spitting image of my father.
You're the spitting image of Mike Tomlin, but go ahead.
Me and him
got to take a picture to dispel this rumor.
But yeah,
I seen him and I'm like, yo, that's my pop.
And Shorty started bugging out.
She was like, yo, you're not going to say nothing to him.
And I was like, nah, and I'm just looking, you know, behind the tinted windows,
green light, just skate it off.
I unpacked that a little in the book, too, that moment.
But that's crazy that that even happened, man.
Do you think he had any influence on you and how you turned out like i think um genetically obviously i think you know a bit
mentally you you get something it's a physiological thing right it's it's passed on to you but i also
had the and i will call it the pleasure of trying to build with him. So my oldest daughter's mother was Muslim.
Her brother used to go to Damascus with my father.
So one day he hits me out the blue.
So when I meet my pops when I'm 12,
my little sister is six weeks old
from his girlfriend at the time.
I'm 21.
My oldest daughter's brother calls me like,
yo, I just made Juma with your pops and all of that.
And I always knew I had a little sister out there.
So I'm like, all right, let me, you know, give me his joints.
Reach out, try to connect with him, whatever.
But that was really just to connect with my sister.
I did that, been in her life ever since.
Then when I'm 25, try to reach back out.
When I'm 29, try to reach back out. When I'm 29, try to reach back out.
So throughout my life up until, and God bless the dead, my pops just passed recently too.
I tried to make, not make amends, but build a relationship.
Right.
You know?
He just didn't want that relationship.
I don't, I don't know.
I don't know, bro.
I can't say he didn't want it.
I don't think he knew how to have it.
But I told him I forgave him.
You know what I mean? And we're here
for a reason. The fact that
we still here living, like, there's something here.
Let's figure that out. And I also
told him, you know, you got your own story.
But I learned, like,
relationships have to be
a dialogue. It can't be a monologue.
Right. And I feel like with him,
at least in my experience with him,
things would get to a certain point and then he would just cut off.
Like it would stop.
So I don't know.
Maybe the guilt would get to him.
That guilt made it hard for him to look you in the eye
and really have conversations with you.
You got to answer those tough questions of why he wasn't there.
Do you think it hurts you more to spend those four days
and then nothing happened?
Or do you think?
I think that that depends on the individual.
And I think that depends on their environment.
For me, it didn't really hurt me in that way because, you know,
because my mom was just that ill.
You know what I mean?
The love and sense of self-worth that my mother instilled in me
at a very young age is the only reason why I'm here.
When I was young, it was like my moms was like, you know,
this is before everybody walking around saying, what up, King?
This is years before all of that.
My moms would put that in me.
You know, you're King, you're this, you're that.
So I felt worthy.
I felt valued, you know, and I think if a child has that,
they can navigate that experience.
But on a selfish level, yeah, it was there was disappointment.
Because for your little sister, he was more in and out of her life.
No, he he was in and out of all his kids life. Right.
Because it was it was other kids. And and I unpack this in the book, too.
Like for me, that was disappointing because I'm I'm I was his oldest child.
And I and I felt like I would have respected it more.
You wasn't in my life, but your other kids, you got it together.
All right, you know, you figured it out.
People make mistakes.
But to then continue on the pattern, that's when it's just like, word.
Like, you just choosing this.
So Pops was a Rolling Stone?
He had, like, mad brothers and, I mean, mad kids out there?
Yeah.
I'll tell you something crazy.
We found out we had a sister that passed
in the first Iraq war.
Wow. Yeah.
Crazy. Mike Thomas is only 46.
Just throwing that out there.
It's possible. It's possible.
Alright, now keep it locked. We got more with Omar
Ebside. When we come back, we gotta talk more about
his book and also, do you know he rapped
in my mama's basement? We'll talk about it when we
come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Charlamagne, the guy we are, The Breakfast Club.
Omar Epps is in the building.
Charlamagne? You said your father died
and you never got to say goodbye, but you wrote
you found peace in that relationship.
How did you find the peace? I had the
peace years ago. You Can't Fabricate was
real. I had tried
to reach out to him and tried
to build this uh some sort of relationship with him throughout the years and i found peace with
this just is what it is you know what i mean so you know let it be this this is what it is that's
not on me that's on him you know what i mean a lot of times i think with different situations
you know people take we take things so personal but's like, we don't have to carry that energy. If that person's making that decision,
that's on them. You know what I mean? As long as we moving from a space of love, it's all good.
Now you speak about your mom a lot. Was she the reason you didn't get caught up in the
streets of Brooklyn? Cause you was around the hoodlums and the hooligans.
Yeah. Yeah. Mom Dukes was, like I said, that's that. And I think we need to do this more with our children and our community.
It's like a lot of these kids don't feel valued, man.
So when you don't feel like that, at the end of the day, if you're shorty and you like, well, ain't like ain't nobody gonna miss me anyway or whatever, whatever.
You know, when you have those thoughts, then you're likely to put yourself in really bad situations and make bad decisions.
And for me, you you know i always felt a
sense of value like i knew my mother loved me and i knew you know that life is gonna work out because
i knew i was gonna be successful whatever now i'm not talking about fame i'm saying if i was a
teacher or whatever it was right i was gonna achieve that so it was like yo i'm setting my
life up for that so and i also had a um you know, I spoke to Marlon, but, you know, Marlon's my bro.
We have a small circle, a brotherhood that's so powerful.
Everybody doing their thing in their life.
But from when we were shorties, we would hold each other accountable.
Like, yo, you better than that.
What you doing?
Yeah.
We don't do that over here.
What you doing?
And that's what's missing now.
I don't think kids are doing it
and I think that's also
because there's a lot of fathers
that are not around.
Exactly.
Not guiding these kids
and saying,
nah, you don't need to be doing it.
You said something real key
just now that I don't want
people to miss.
You said that you knew
you was going to be successful
but then you said
it didn't matter,
like not even just entertainment,
even if I was a teacher.
Yeah.
I think we have this concept
in America that success
is only celebrity or fame.
Only fame, yep.
It's crazy as you say that because what is celebrity nowadays?
Nothing.
You know what I'm saying?
A hundred thousand Instagram followers.
A million Instagram followers.
That's what I'm saying.
But success is achievement.
You know, the look don't, all that fame and stuff, that's the illusion.
You know what I'm saying?
Success could be volunteering your life to help other people.
Exactly.
You know, so when you, you know, I learned that like, wow, it's really about giving. You know what I'm saying? Success could be volunteering your life to help other people. Exactly. You know, I learned that, like, wow, it's really about giving.
You know what I mean?
When you have it, it's the transfer of the information.
And if you can influence somebody for the better, you know, that's what it's all about.
That's success.
And I think it's also the core people, like you said.
You had a very tight core of people around you that actually helped you.
Because you guys can encourage each other to do things.
And you know what's funny?
I see Marlon Wayans is always very consistent.
Because you said in the book he would point at homeless people and be like,
Is that your dad?
Right.
Is that your dad?
So obnoxious.
That's crap.
Very consistent with who Marlon Wayans is as a person.
How many times did y'all fight?
Well, that's how we got cool.
Y'all didn't get along, Well, that's how we got cool. Y'all got to figure that out.
Y'all didn't get along, right?
That's how we got cool.
We got to fight him.
We were supposed to have this fight that never happened,
and then we end up getting into like a, you know, a tussling thing.
But, nah, we never had a fight.
You was going to fight him with all those brothers?
Yeah, well, I ain't, you know.
I had East New York with me.
I'm like, well, hey.
You said you guys wrestled, though.
That's what it turned into, and then we kind of got into a stalemate. It was like, well, hey. You said you guys wrestled, though. That's what it turned into.
And then we kind of got into a stalemate.
It was like, yo, you let go.
Nah, you let go.
Both of y'all tired.
And then we, you know, we've been thinking Steve's ever since.
But, nah, that piece is real.
Like, Marlon been the same.
He's the same dude, man.
Why didn't y'all get along?
Because he's a clown too much?
Nah, we didn't get along initially because I'm from Brooklyn.
He's from Manhattan.
So we used to, like, that's soft anyway.
Like, you know, you come from Brooklyn.
You're like, he's Cass or whatever.
And then he had a more diverse, like, circle, you know.
For me, it was just all black people.
He knew, like, you know.
Well, I knew a couple of, like, Spanish people. But he had, like, white know, for me, it was just all black people. He knew like, you know, well, I knew a couple of like Spanish people,
but he had like white friends, white, you know,
but back then we looking like, so then that's more.
You know what I mean?
And then, so it wasn't nothing but that.
I think it was the strength.
We both had a strength that we was too young to recognize,
you know what I mean?
And each other.
And once we found that like, oh, we, we yoked like equally, you know what i mean in each other and once we found that like oh we
we yoked like equally you know what i mean the respect was there and we've been pushing each
other ever since man like just pushing each other like and and these cats out here it's about that
when they come to that manhood you know i'm saying you gotta be when when when he went i went
if i went he went but we've been like that since I was 12 years old.
Ain't no jealousy, ain't no hate.
You know what I'm saying?
These cats out here is faking.
Yo, bro, stop faking that.
Be real about it.
Because at the end of the day, in real life,
if something go down, I'm jumping in front of that
with my bro, like for real.
You know what I'm saying?
And these cats is out here now.
We got almost 30 years of this. We done been through it you know what i mean so at a young
age you can have that power but you got to see it in the people who are worthy you know i'm saying
if you if your brother's pushing you like and i'm saying this in a sense of when i would go off track
you know him and my other brothers they they would sit me down, yo, what are you doing?
Where's your head at?
Holding you accountable.
Holding me accountable.
I didn't want to hear that.
I'd be screaming at them.
I'd be all of that.
But when that moment passes, I'm like, damn, these dudes actually care about me.
Right.
Actually really love me, and I know I'm doing wrong right now.
What am I doing?
You know, you need those moments,
and you need the people around you to support that.
All of that's good, but do you retweet his show when it's on?
Do you retweet that Marlon's coming on NBC?
Yeah.
Okay, just make it a show.
You know, that's what's important nowadays.
You are the petty king.
I know you want to jump in front of bullets and all that,
but are you retweeting the show?
Now, what happened with the rap career?
Because you and your cousin were in a rap crew.
Yeah.
Wolfpack.
He actually came to my basement, my mama's house.
Do you remember that?
Absolutely.
Do you remember that?
Absolutely.
You still have that?
Yeah.
Was he any good?
He was all right.
I was decent.
This was back in the 80s.
I was surprised he came to the crib because it was such a big thing.
Because he wasn't, this was after all these movies came out.
Really?
So he was on fire. What era was it's after juice after the wood this is in
that era and you wanted to rap after all that success now i've been rapping my whole life
but i feel like i feel like if this was now then everybody would hear the music because it was so
easy you know what i mean then they still had the gatekeepers. And to your point, like, I'm on over here.
So I don't need to do it the way y'all want me.
Like, that's not who, you know, they wanted,
yo, do this, do that, do this.
And because I was so young and it was happening,
there was a wisp of arrogance.
Like, Kev Liles was like,
I'm going to put you in the studio with Primo to do four joints.
And I was like,
nah, my man's got to do the tracks.
Right.
Because I'm a loyal dude.
Right, right, right.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm missing the opportunity.
And shout out to Primo, legend.
How you s*** on Primo?
That's crazy.
I was just loyal.
Primo.
Nah, my man.
My man.
I'm a loyal,
I'm like my man.
You could have gone on
and put your man on.
Oh, yeah, I know.
Where's everybody else from the crew now?
Anybody living, man.
Nobody ever like went on to keep on rapping?
Nah, everybody ended up like, we getting jobs.
Well, the book is out right now.
You got one more question?
Yeah, I want to know, like, you You know because you come from that renaissance
Of black star power
And we're in another one now
Yes we are
You know but I don't know
If we necessarily have those movies
That feel like those 90's movies
You think it's possible to get like that
That feel again?
I think it's happening as we speak
You got
You got Barry Jenkins
You got Lena Waithe
You got Ava
You know what I mean?
You got Ryan Coogler, who just, I'm just so proud of this brother.
You know what I mean?
He went from Fruitvale Station to Creed to Blacklight.
That trajectory is crazy.
You know what I mean?
He's only on his third joint.
Oh, yeah.
There's got to be pressure, too.
It's pressure, but he handling it.
He doing it well.
Man, he's delivering what they need, which is profit.
All right.
Well, the book is out right now, From Fatherless to Fatherhood,
and we appreciate you for joining us.
Yes, sir.
The legend, Omar Epps.
That's right.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Hey, listen, man.
Hi.
First of all, I want to say happy born day to a couple people.
Oh.
Number one, the legend Wesley Snipes.
Drop on the Clues bombs for Wesley Snipes.
Oh, I just met him for the first time.
I was so excited.
In Puerto Rico.
That's a blessing.
I never met him before that I remember.
And I want to drop on the Clues bombs for the sassy savage, my spirit animal,
Lil Uzi Vert.
Drop on the Clues bombs for Lil Uzi Vert.
God damn it.
Okay.
Why you start shaking your shoulders like that?
You can't help but shake your shoulders when you mention
Little Uzi Vert. Alright? The
sassy savage. Alright? I'm on the
hunt for a little Uzi in my life.
Alright. Yes, I am.
I have a very specific type
of intern I want, and I want them to be a
sassy savage in the vein
of Little Uzi Vert.
Turn this music up a little bit.
Keep talking.
Hey.
Lil Uzi will kill this.
Lil Uzi need to remix this for his birthday. I got a lot of stories I gotta get into.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Drake.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela
Yee.
Rumor has it Angela Yee.
On The Breakfast Club.
Well, congratulations to Drake and a future The Prince, who is his DJ and manager.
HBO has picked up the drama Euphoria, and they're going to be joining the show as executive producers.
Now, Zendaya is playing the lead role. It follows a group of high school students as they navigate drugs, sex, identity, trauma,
social media, love, and friendship.
So congratulations to them.
That's his first TV show.
Drop on a close bond for them.
HBO is making some very culturally appropriate moves.
I saw they, Kid Fury got a comedy coming over.
I'm getting to that right now.
Thank you.
Kid Fury and Lena Waithe have also been developing
an HBO comedy series.
They announced that on Variety.
Now they are putting their talents together.
They're doing a half-hour comedy series.
It's not titled yet, but it will center around a sarcastic gay black man
who's living in New York trying to find his niche
while also battling clinical depression.
So it's a documentary on Kid Fury.
So they're saying it's a surreal, dark comedy.
So congratulations to them as well. Drop on the clues box for Kid Fury.
I love Kid Fury. I love to read.
Salute to Crystal. Big deal
over there. Now, Living Single, apparently
there might really be a reboot in
the works. They've been talking about this for quite some
time. And our girl, Erica
Alexander, gave this little hint
on Instagram. Anybody know how
to reboot this?
She pointed at her laptop, so that was her dropping a hint.
Okay.
And then she wrote, anyone need a reboot?
Maxine Shaw effect, reboot, living single, no warranty.
I'm happy for that.
Mm-hmm.
But I'm hating a little bit.
Why?
Because I want the Girlfriends movie.
I do.
You can have both.
I do.
This guy right here.
You can have both.
I was thinking yesterday, what would I want more, a living single reboot or a girlfriend's movie?
Why can't you have both?
Why you got to choose?
I mean, if I could only have one, I would want the girlfriend's movie.
What would you rather have, the Cowboys winning the Super Bowl or a girlfriend's movie?
Girlfriend's movie.
This guy.
Not even close.
Girlfriend's movie.
He's not doing the football thing this year.
No, not watching the NFL this year, so definitely the girlfriend's movie.
All right, now,
insecure fans have gotten a petition together.
They want to bring a Lawrence back.
The Lawrence Hive is in effect.
Now, the post says,
sign a petition to HBO
pleading for Jay Ellis to return as Lawrence,
then share far and wide
so that everyone who loves Lawrence
can have their voice heard.
We want Lawrence back.
Hashtag, where's Lawrence?
I got my Best Buy shirt on this morning. You are sassy this morning, bro. You are really, where's Lawrence? I got my Best Buy shirt on this morning.
You are sassy this morning, bro.
You are really sassy.
Am I not wearing my Best Buy shirt?
Am I not wearing my Best Buy shirt?
You are sassy.
By the way, that wasn't just a post.
That was a sponsored post.
Now I'm going to get to that.
Somebody spent money for that.
Can I get to that?
Now you see Ray reposted it.
And she said, wow, a sponsored post, though, like money was spent.
So, yes, somebody spent money to spread the word to try to get Lawrence back.
Listen, man, as soon as I got that extra $5,000 via Cash App accidentally yesterday,
I knew where to put my money.
Yeah, all right.
All right, now, Jay-Z, let's talk about this Stand Your Ground law.
After watching the Trayvon Martin documentary yesterday,
Rest in Power, the Trayvon Martin story, part one, was on last night.
He's hoping that people will actually analyze Florida's stand-your-ground law.
He said to the New York Times,
This law, we have to get people to understand what it says.
Of course, he will not be found guilty.
It's very difficult to be found guilty with this law as it stands today.
So that means, you know, stand your ground.
If anybody feels like they're under duress,
they're allowed to potentially kill another civilian,
and that's how George Zimmerman managed to get away with killing Trayvon Martin, who was only 17 years old at the time.
Now, Jay-Z also said that he doesn't subscribe to the idea that celebrities, specifically black celebrities, are obligated to be vocal on social issues.
He said, I think the way that people view celebrity is unfair.
Everyone should be filling in and doing their part because it isn't about money.
It's not. Yeah, so just like the Khalif Browder documentary opened everybody's eyes to the harsh conditions
of Rikers, the Trayvon Martin documentary is opening people's eyes to the reality of
the standing ground law.
Right, so hopefully people will take another look at that.
Now, let's talk about another show that's coming to Netflix now.
Octavia Spencer and LeBron James limited series about Madam C.J. Walker.
Netflix has officially announced that they are doing that.
And it's going to be an eight-episode series based on the book On Our Own Ground.
If you don't know who Madam C.J. Walker is,
she built a beauty empire from the ground up for a hair care formula for black women.
And she became the first self-made female
millionaire, first black female millionaire.
She was a daughter of slaves, orphaned at age seven, married at 14, and widowed at 20.
She worked as a washerwoman for 20 years, earning $1.50 a week, and all that changed.
Man, it's a lot of dope-ass content out there, man.
Drop one of the clues, Bon, for all those people creating that dope-ass content.
All right, now we also, let's talk about LeBron some more,
because he has that show, The Shop, that's on HBO as well.
So, basically, they're announcing people that are going to be on the series.
HBO cooking.
Snoop Dogg, Ben Staples.
The series premieres on Tuesday, August 28th,
so they'll be looking to make an impact through high-profile guests.
The first show is Snoop, Odo Beckham Jr., Draymond Green,
two-time WNBA MVP Candace Parker, and Jon Stewart.
So there you have it.
And with LeBron, by the way, he just recently opened a school yesterday.
That's great.
And he talks about sports and how he feels like Donald Trump
is dividing people using sports.
He's dividing us, and what I noticed over the last few months,
that he's kind of used sport to kind of divide us,
and that's something that I can't relate to
because I know that sport was the first time I ever was around someone white.
And I got an opportunity to see them and learn about them,
and they got an opportunity to learn about me,
and we became very good friends.
And I was like, oh, wow, this is all because of sports and sports has
never been something that divide people has always been something that brings
someone together that is a fact I even think about my first white friend salute
to my man Thomas Evans he's the live next to us in Moncks Corner South
Carolina and we all got together playing football in the yard you play sports in
the yard football okay still a sport Still a sport. I just can't see you playing. All right? We was playing football in the yard.
That's very true.
I actually played field hockey, and I played basketball.
I never played organized sports.
And I ran track.
I was bad.
I was bad in school.
My grades were bad.
You were short.
First of all, I was athletic, to be sure.
You wasn't.
I'm not damn athletic.
Do you see this body?
Do I have to stand up?
Okay.
This boy has had this athletic frame.
This is all muscle memory.
That body just got here.
No, no.
That body just got here.
You look like a punter.
I used to have a 72-inch vertical leap.
Get out of here.
I don't care if you believe me or not.
I'm telling you what my God showed me.
We don't care what you used to do.
Yeah.
I had a 72-inch vertical leap.
Show us.
All right.
Don't think that I wasn't athletic.
I wasn't athletic.
You wasn't no dad.
Tell us more about Popeye.
All the over your shoulders, bro.
All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report.
All right, thank you, Miss Yee.
Charlemagne!
Yes.
Who you giving them shoulders to?
I mean, a donkey too.
Well, first of all, I don't like the lack of confidence that was showed by my co-host
just now and me, so I need my confidence uplifted before I get into this donkey for
So, you know, the best way to do that is to put someone else down.
Oh.
Play some music for them right now.
Let me feel good right now.
You know what?
You're absolutely right.
I hear some music.
You better.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
All right.
I'm feeling the spirit a little oozy this morning.
There you go.
Four after the hour.
I want to give Donkey of the Day to all the idiots out there who are accidentally sending money via Cash App.
Does anybody in this room know an idiot that sent some money?
I do.
I know someone who did that.
You know someone, Yee?
I know someone too.
And I can't wait to talk about them for after the hour.
Just say my name. Hey. Just say my name.
For after the hour, all you idiots
who accidentally send money via Cash App, we're
talking to you. Just say my name. Who could be that stupid?
Who could be that dumb? If you're gonna
talk about me, just say my name. Someone with a beige
brain. It's the world's
most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
You get donkey of the day.
Yeah, you got ass.
You get donkey of the day.
Yeah, you got ass.
You are a donkey.
It's time for donkey of the day.
Donkey of the day, huh?
I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes.
They want this man to throw them blows, man.
They wait for Charlamagne to tap these gloves.
Let's go.
They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day.
They chose you.
This is a breakfast club, bitch.
It's donkey of the day today.
Well, donkey of the day for Tuesday, July 31st may hit close to home.
It goes to all you foolish people who accidentally send money to people you don't know via Cash App.
Now, since July 12, 2017, I have been receiving Cash App reminders, requests from someone named Theodore.
Only Theodore I acknowledge is Theodore Roosevelt, Ghostface's crew Theodore unit, and Theodore from Alvin and the Chipmunks.
No Theodore Huxtable?
Oh, Theodore Huxtable, you're right.
Drop on the clues box, Theodore Huxtable and the Chipmunks. No Theodore Huxtable? Oh, Theodore Huxtable, you're right. Drop on the Clues Bounce, Theodore Huxtable.
Forgot about him.
This Theodore guy has literally been requesting $150 from me since July 12th.
Actually, he only requested it for a week, from like July 12th to July 19th.
And then he stopped because I think he realized that I'm ignoring him the way Jesus is ignoring his prayers.
Okay, there's nothing about that Cash App request that would make me of sound mind and body click on that link
and send him that money purposely
and especially accidentally.
Okay, here's the thing. Tomorrow is the first
of the month, August 1st, rent
is due, mortgage, bills, any little
extra cash you receive is a blessing.
If you accidentally send someone money
via Cash App around this time of month,
you have to look at it as you
being a blessing to someone else.
God allowed that to happen to you
so he could be a blessing through you.
Don't block someone's blessing
by accidentally sending money via Cash App
and then asking for it back.
Who would do such a thing?
Now, I don't even see how it's possible
to accidentally send someone money via Cash App.
Okay, I am the type of person
who likes to measure twice in order to cut once,
and I just don't see how it's possible unless you are indeed a moron.
You think, Angelique?
Yes, you have to be a moron to do that.
I asked Twitter if people accidentally send money via Cash App, right?
And I am getting an overwhelming amount of hell no's
and Cash App names sent to me with people saying,
could you tell that stupid person to accidentally send it here?
Aries Cadoz on Twitter said, how?
All that confirming and clicking you got to do ain't no excuse.
Are you sure?
Just admit you're stupid and keep it pushing.
Yaiye says, hell to the nah.
I double, triple check before I send.
What do I look like, an idiot?
Zype T Word on Twitter said,
I was literally just requested money from someone yesterday.
No clue who they are.
I'm too scared to open the app in case it's some scam or hacker.
And plus, I'm not a dumbass.
This is what they're all saying.
So once again, I don't see how it's possible to send money via Cash App.
Like, how stupid can you be?
Let me ask my coworkers.
Is there any idiots in the room who have ever accidentally sent someone money via Cash App?
Yee, you want anybody?
Absolutely not.
And I use Cash App at least three times a week.
Oh, you're the smartest person in the room.
I don't expect that to happen.
Daniel?
Nope.
Mogul?
Eddie? Any of you? I don't have cash. I don't expect that to happen. Daniel? Nope. Moga? Eddie? Any of you?
I don't have cash.
I don't have cash? What's your cash app, Eddie?
Let's not have a fund me.
Go fund me. Hey!
Envy! You ever did anything like this?
I wasn't paying attention. What's the question?
Did you ever accidentally send anybody any money
via cash app? Yes.
Yes, I have. Really? You know what?
Come to think of it,
I think I did overhear you this morning
saying your dumb ass sent somebody $5,000
by accident via Cash App.
I heard him on the phone.
He was very panicky about the whole situation.
I did.
It was an accident.
He was stressing out.
You care to explain?
All right.
So I own a home in Detroit,
and we're doing work on the home.
So I had to send the construction crew $5,000.
He sent me his cash app info.
And it had a number one at the end of his long name.
So I didn't see the number one.
So I just put the long name and sent $5,000.
30 minutes later, he says, I never got the money.
I opened it up.
I realized I sent $5,000 to somebody else.
Drop on the clues box for that person who received a blessing this morning,
a beige blessing wrapped in a yellow bow.
You're going to have to get that back.
Look.
Why?
Because that's his.
Yes, it is his.
You sent it to him, okay?
Look, to all of you out there with a beige brain
who accidentally send money to strangers via cash app,
please understand there are no mistakes, only happy accidents.
All right.
Please give the sweet sounds and the hammer tones to all those fools who accidentally
give people money via cash app.
Oh, now you are the donkey.
You hear Envy?
You should have said my name.
Of the day.
Take it in, Envy.
You are the donkey.
Take it all. Of the day. Oh, it's getting deeper, isn Take it all. Take it all.
Oh, it's getting deeper, isn't it?
You feel it?
Do you feel it deep in you?
Yes, I did send the money to the wrong person.
That is stupid.
$5,000, that's a lot of money.
You know how much money that is?
If somebody's whole first of the month is going to be amazing tomorrow.
No, it's not.
They got to get that back.
Because usually the check on the first
Is the check that go to all the bills
So you don't really get nothing to put to the side
Now they got something to put to the side
Because of you
You're just like Drake in the God's plan video
This is God's plan
You can't go against it
Everything happens for a reason
It's destiny, it's fate, you are somebody's blessing
You're a great person I look at it like that. You are a great person.
I look at it like it's a test from God to see if you're going to give that money back.
Nope.
So if you know what I know.
This Gnosis thing is a test.
You're going to give that money back.
I thought about that.
I was like, maybe this is God's way of digitally testing his people.
That's what I think.
But I'm going to tell you something.
I think God wanted the person that you sent that $5,000 to to have it.
Nah, B.
What was their name?
Do you know their name?
I'm not going to tell you their name.
Why not?
Nope.
Why not?
Because they may not know.
They might call in.
Nope, because maybe he doesn't know and I still got a chance to get that money back.
Nope.
You know what's crazy?
You don't know what's a man.
When you use Cash App, you have to actually put your code in before you send the money
again after you sign in already or use your face recognition.
He's stupid.
So there's a lot of different levels to make sure that you actually do this properly.
I'm sure. There's levels to that baby's brain. Is this information correct? He's stupid. So there's a lot of different levels to make sure that you actually do this properly.
They ask you, is this information correct?
Double check it.
I'm sure people have sent money by accident before.
Nobody has done it, but you're dumb ass. Well, let's open up the phone lines.
Dumb ass.
I'm going to get this money back, by the way.
And if anybody needs some money, just request DJ Envy.
He'll probably hit the wrong button by accident and send it to you.
Nah, not at all.
You got it, man. I don't even have cash
up anymore. Come on, man. All those cars
and watches you got, what is that to you?
Hard work. $5,000 to a guy like you. Can you
please remind me? It's hard work. That's what it is.
Hard work. I think that that person received a blessing
this morning. That's like manna falling from the sky.
This is just like if money falls out of
Brink's truck. You can't just take it and say
it's yours. That's not a blessing.
You're not a Brink's truck. That's against the law. You're not a Brinks truck. That's against the law. You're not a Brinks truck.
You're a Beige truck. Shut up, man.
800-585-1051.
Let me ask all my good people
out there. There's a lot of good people out there.
If somebody sent you
$5,000 through Cash App
by accident,
would you give the money back?
Hey! I can't wait to hear
this conversation. 800-585-1051.
There's a lot of good people out there.
I need all my good people to call up right now
that know that this could probably be a test,
and you don't want to do God wrong.
You don't want to do the world wrong.
It's a test for you, and you can't do God wrong.
That person might really need that money.
Everybody clean your throat for y'all.
Call up here and say, how?
No.
800-585-1051.
Call us now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
It's DJ and the Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, we're asking, 800-585-1051.
Yesterday, I accidentally sent $5,000 to somebody I didn't know on Cash App.
I was actually sending it to the construction crew out in Detroit to finish up one of the homes I have,
and I sent it to somebody else by accident.
I was a number off.
Now, I've never used Cash App, but from what I'm hearing, Cash App has mad links,
and they ask you mad questions.
So it's virtually impossible to send money accidentally to somebody
unless you just absolutely were not paying attention.
What had you preoccupied, sir?
I was at dinner with the wife.
Oh.
Dinner with the wife and kids.
He called and said he needed the money to buy some supplies for tomorrow.
So I just, I sent it.
He told me his screen name.
And his screen name had a one at the end of it.
Okay.
I didn't put the one.
And I just sent it in.
Here's the thing, Emmy.
Is that whoever you sent that money to probably already had plans
what they were going to do with it, used it
possibly to cover some bills and now
you are going to ruin their
whole entire month. I want you to think of this scenario.
Tomorrow's the first of the month. We all know it's rent,
it's mortgages, bills.
That check that we get on the first is usually the
check that goes towards all of that so none of it
really stays with us. So imagine
a man or woman on their knees praying to God for a blessing praying for just a little bit of financial relief
a little bit of financial cushion and then all of a sudden they wake up five thousand dollars in
their cash app and they might oh my god god answered my prayers and then you're gonna hit
them and ask them for that back what would that do do to their faith? Don't do that to them. Or imagine a guy that works 20 out of 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
consistently works, does all type of jobs to provide for his family.
Sounds like he's got plenty of money to give away.
And a whole family to help and continues to work and has been working since he was 16 hard.
Drop one of the clues, Bon, for that charitable individual who has mad money to share with people less fortunate.
Because he's out there making money.
Exactly.
He got it.
In order to get, you must give.
Who's donating to basketball tournaments and to Flint, Michigan, and has done so many things.
Oh, my God.
He said Flint, Michigan, Yee.
Oh, my God.
I can't believe you just did this.
I can't believe this.
You would stoop that low?
You ain't never donated.
No, you didn't send water to Flint.
I sent 100,000 bottles of water to Flint.
You did, you did, you did.
But you didn't have to bring that.
I do my due diligence.
My God.
What does this have to do with blessing this person?
I'm just saying, I do my due diligence.
So why would you take it back?
Huh?
Why would you take it back?
I need that.
You don't know where this person lives.
I don't know where this person is.
You don't know what this struggle is.
I'm right.
And this person might be an evil, bad person.
But we don't know what this person's struggling with right now.
God.
You might have actually really helped someone. God
sometimes lets things happen to you
so he can be a blessing through
you. And you are a vessel.
You're a vessel. I'll send $50.
I'm gonna send $50.
I'm gonna send $50. Hello, who's this?
A vessel.
40 feet from Irvington.
Oh, you from Irvington. I know you ain't giving that money back.
Damn. Stereotype. See? That's right, Irvington. And you fed right into Irvington? I know you ain't giving that money back. Damn. You know I'm not giving that money back.
Stereotype.
See?
That's right, Irvington.
And you fed right into the stereotype.
Tell me why you wouldn't give the money back, Irvington.
Because that's his fault.
Like, you made a mistake.
Now I'm about to go spend your money.
See?
I'll give you back like $2,500.
Now let me ask you a question. What would you do with the money?
I'm spending it.
I'm buying something, putting some money down on a car.
I don't know.
You see?
You see?
What you mean? He might need a car. He don't need no putting some money down on a car. See? You see? You see? What you mean?
He might need a car.
He don't need no damn car.
He could go shopping.
See?
And good brother from Irvington, there are no mistakes, only happy accidents.
My goodness.
Okay.
T.
Yes.
What are you calling from, T?
Cleveland, Ohio.
Oh, you definitely need the money.
LeBron gone, economy down.
Economy down in Cleveland.
You need that five grand.
T, would you get that money back?
No. I wouldn't give it back,
but you need to look at it like this also.
Y'all don't make no mistakes.
You might be paying it forward.
You might be paying it forward,
and you never know.
That person might be helping kids
to get backpacks and everything else,
and they might be paying it forward.
Yeah, but you're going to take the backpacks
away from the kids?
We're doing a backpack drive this summer.
Okay, good.
Well, this is a great jump start.
Yeah, I'm having my annual backpack giveaway on August 11th in Moncks Corner, South Carolina.
And I hope that I can check my cash app this morning and get me an extra five grand.
That's a great donation you made.
With the cash app named Charlemagne1?
No.
No.
It wasn't you.
800-585-1051.
If you...
I don't like the lack of faith in your eyes right now.
What?
All right, you look like you don't believe in your Jesus like you did yesterday.
I mean, you got it.
I've seen all that stuff you be posting on the Gram.
And I believe in that delete button.
I'm getting my money back.
God don't make no mistakes with the young ladies.
If you have money in your cash app and you know it wasn't yours, would you give it back?
No, n***a.
Call us now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us, I accidentally yesterday sent $5,000 to somebody I didn't
know.
Via cash app.
Now, let me tell you why this is so hilarious to me.
Because Envy looks so sick and so stressed, and he thought these calls was going to go another way
and people was going to be like, yeah, we'll give the money back.
Now he is losing hope that he's going to get
that five grand back. Now somebody just
sent me a cash app request and their
request in the note, it says $5,000
for Envy dumbass to accidentally send
me a blessing.
You know what?
Envy, no good is going to come to you if you take that
money back from that person. And I don't know who just sent me this message talking about this for Envy, good is going to come to you if you take that money back from that person.
Hello?
And I don't know who just sent me this message talking about his full envy,
but you a goddamn fool if you think I'm clicking on this link.
What is it?
Something about Cash App.
Hello?
Anybody get me?
Hello?
Hey, what's your name, mama?
I'm Tamara.
Where you from, Tamara?
Columbia, South Carolina.
803, the Metro.
What's happening?
Now, Tamara, I know you would get that money back.
I definitely would.
I will never keep that money.
There you go.
That's too much money.
I ain't going to know how to act.
Tamara, why not stop it now?
You keep that money.
I know us South Carolina people got great hearts, you know,
and we attempt to do the right thing at all times.
But why would you be upset about the blessing that God gave you
and $5,000 from somebody else?
Because God didn't give me the $5,000.
How do you know what God did?
God works in mysterious ways.
He's working through envy.
Envy is a vessel.
Hello, who's this?
My name is Alicia.
Hey, Alicia.
Now, if you got money in your cash...
Wait a minute, where is Alicia calling from first?
Where are you calling from?
I'm calling from Atlanta,
but I'm from Brooklyn, New York,
and I love you guys.
Brooklyn.
Let's talk about what we would do doing the Brooklyn way.
Go ahead, Alicia.
Would you give the money back, Alicia?
There's some good people from Brooklyn.
What would you do, Mama?
I wouldn't send it back.
I'm not going to front.
There we go.
We from Brooklyn.
Brooklyn keeps on taking it.
That's right.
You keep on taking it.
You get that $5,000, then peace is going to be hitting.
Oh, my goodness.
Thank you, Mama.
I'm keeping it.
My bills are paid.
It's not your money. Yes, it is. You put it in her cash app. Hello, who goodness. Thank you, mama. I'm keeping it. My bills are paid. It's not your money.
Yes, it is.
You put it in her cash app.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, what's up?
This is Mel from Brooklyn.
Mel, what's up, bro?
You got some money in your cash app.
I know Brooklyn.
Come on.
First of all, let me say this.
Like, basically, if it was 5,000 pounds on the street,
then I wouldn't get it back.
But since it's 5,000 deposited into your account,
I don't know who that money came from. So, yeah, I wouldn to get it back. But since there's $5,000 deposited into your account,
I don't know who that money came from.
So yeah,
I'm going to get it back
because bank fraud ain't no joke.
There you go.
It's not bank fraud.
Someone sent you the money.
You got to get that back.
It's stolen.
I know that,
but if he puts a claim in,
but if he puts a claim in,
I'm going to be horrible
for that money anyway.
That's right.
That's right.
If a bank puts money in your account
by accident, you can't just take it out and spend it.
Why not? You gotta get it back.
I'm not gonna take it out and spend it, but I'm gonna let it sit there.
Then it's gonna come right back. I'm gonna take it out
and shut down my account. Then you're gonna go to jail.
No, you're not. You sent me the money.
I'm gonna be like, he sent me the money. It's not my fault.
He tried to get it back. That's like putting something onto
somebody's Christmas tree with their name on it
and then saying, that's not yours.
Give it back to me.
No.
That doesn't make any sense.
Yes, it does.
No, I'm talking about me.
You sent it to my cash app with my name.
That's like you handed me some money and then said, give it back.
That doesn't make sense.
Hello?
Hello.
Hey, what's your name, bro?
What's going on, man?
It's Lloyd from VA.
VA, 757.
Now, if you found some money.
I'm not from 703.
804?
Nah, 703.
Oh, 703. All right. Now, if you found some money in your'm not for 703. 804? Nah, 703. Oh, 703.
All right.
Now, if you found some money in your cash app, would you give it back?
It depends on who it is.
Honestly, Envy, I can't give you your money back.
That's foul.
Why?
Because you see him on Instagram with all the cars and everything?
Not even that.
I remember back in the day when he got that girl fight.
So how you know God ain't punishing you?
Hey!
Oh, man.
Karma. She deserved to be
fired. That hurt me just now.
You let off a chopper just now.
I got hit with a string.
I remember that. That was rough.
She deserved to be fired, man. That was years ago.
You've been listening to the Burkard Club for a long time.
That was six years ago. I'm a faithful fan, man. I love y'all.
So you want to get the money back. Thank you.
Y'all have a blessing.
Now, the plot twist would be if he accidentally sent it to the girl he got fired six years ago.
You know what, Envy?
Wow.
I don't want you to have bad karma.
I think you should just let that person have the money.
No.
Isn't it worth it?
$5,000 for you to have good karma?
No, I have good karma.
I do a lot of great things in this world.
But this doesn't sound great.
Do you believe in your Jesus?
I do.
Do you believe that your Jesus allows everything to happen for a reason?
All right, well, I'm going to call Cash App in about 30 minutes.
No, answer the question about Jesus.
I'm going to let Jesus talk through me when I call Cash App in 30 minutes.
Do you believe that God makes no mistakes?
Yes, I do.
All right then.
But I do.
I make mistakes.
Well, guess what?
David, you're going to get it right back, man.
Just stop it, man.
You got to just give those blessings, pay it forward,
so you can get it right back tenfold.
I do my part with my blessings.
You'll get it back tenfold, Andy.
Nah, B.
Nope, nope.
Who is B?
Imagine if Drake went back to Florida or wherever he did that video at
and took all his gifts back from everybody in the God's plan video.
That's what you would be doing right now.
Drake knew who he was giving his money to.
Now, if I knew that the person that was getting this money
was somebody that was effed up and really needed it,
then I would feel a little way.
But I don't know who this person is.
It might be a rapper that's outside every day giving me a CD.
They definitely need it, Envy.
No.
They definitely need it.
If it's somebody who needs it, then we have a different conversation.
You don't think a rapper standing outside every morning to hand you a CD needs it?
I'm not giving them $5,000.
I'm going to be honest with you.
There's a few guys that stand outside of the radio station ever so often.
I would definitely pay them to leave me alone.
So if that's what you did, more foul shit.
Think about it.
J. Cole stood outside and gave Jay-Z a CD.
You could be taking $5,000 from the next J. Cole.
No, no.
I'd rather give it to a mom out there that has a bunch of kids that's having a hard time.
You probably did. I'd rather give it to a dad out there
that can't find a job. You probably did. But
I don't know who it is, and since I don't know
who it is, I'm just thinking it's somebody
chilling that's just trying to scam money.
I just want to say more power to the person who has $5,000
extra dollars in their cash after they
tweet me later on and just let me know
you got the money. You are ours.
Just so in my heart, I can warm my cold heart
knowing that somebody came up off DJ.
And let us know what your situation is,
why you need the money, why you deserve the money,
and why you need it more than Envy,
and let him know what a blessing he is.
And Envy, once again, remember, understand there are no mistakes,
only happy accidents.
And promoters, you better hope I get this money back
because if not, I'm charging you some extra five grand.
Oh, okay, you'll get it right back.
Nope.
Anyway, we got rumors on the way?
Yes, I mean, since we're talking about giving away money,
let's talk about Shad Moss, a.k.a. Bow Wow.
He was doing the same thing you were doing yesterday.
We're not the same.
We'll talk about it when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
They envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Instagram. Okay. Alright, well let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Floyd Mayweather verse 50.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor report. Rumor report.
This is the rumor report. Talk to him.
With Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, Complex
News went and spoke to Floyd Mayweather
and they were talking about, of course,
his beef with 50 Cent. How did all of that
start? Now, Floyd did say that he
watched his power.
He did say the season has been garbage so far.
That's not true.
But he said the other seasons has been the best show.
Here's what else he had to say.
Went to 50 Cent and asked 50 Cent about getting involved in boxing. And he said, you know, what about, you know, I got the promotion company,
basically trying to remove Al Heyman.
It took me from 1987 to now, you know, to build my brand.
I said, whatever you got going on, let's just remain friends and stay cool.
So you felt like he was kind of trying to get his way into the business a little bit more.
I can't really say.
Then he said that I owe him money.
I don't owe anyone money.
Well, that's why you shouldn't mix business with friendship.
You know what I'm saying?
Like sometimes, like sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
But when it doesn't work,
when you're in a person of friends
and y'all don't want to do business together,
that don't mean y'all shouldn't be friends.
Right.
I agree.
Well, I hope they work.
They always fall out
and then work it back out again.
I'm sure they work it out.
They do this a lot,
but this has gone a little too far.
Yeah, really far.
But we've seen this before
with these two guys.
And you wouldn't be saying
Power was whack if y'all was cool.
So stop.
He said it's a great show,
but this season, he said,
so far has been.
That's not true. He would not be saying that if him and 50 was still cool. Yeah,all was cool. So stop. He said it's a great show, but this season, he said, so far has been. That's not true.
He would not be saying that if him and 50 was still cool.
Yeah, not at all.
All right.
Shad Moss, he went through it yesterday,
and he ended up giving away money to people randomly
because he said money is the devil to him.
Now, I don't know exactly what went down,
but I saw that somebody was going at him on Twitter,
kind of accusing him of cheating.
And Bow Wow addressed the woman
and the allegations because she said he's been in the club
the last two nights being real friendly. Even kicked my
friend and me out of his section because we was
recording. It ain't like he's big time.
Well, he responded, I don't do cameras, you stupid
bitch. Come in my section recording
so we shut your bright ass camera down. You got mad
so you tweet my bitch. I pay a bitch
a thousand dollars to slap the lace front off
your dusty ass.
This goes for the rest of you hoes.
Leave me and mine to F alone.
Now that's the devil.
Damn, bro.
I hate when people say money is the devil.
Money's not the devil.
The devil is the devil.
He said, I hate you effing bloggers too.
Shade room, I F with you.
All you other gossiping ass hateful sites, F you.
Your comment sections, F you.
Smash a pass, BS.
I wouldn't F you ugly. I shop at Lane Bryant, bitches, ever.
What's wrong with Lane Bryant?
I don't know.
Lane Bryant is big girls, right?
That's what a big girl is.
Yeah, drop on the clothes box with Lane Bryant, man.
Drop on Lane Bryant.
Great clothes.
Dressing big girls since 1932.
Now, Shy Musk then says, sending my fans money today.
I don't want it.
This money is evil.
Maybe y'all can do some good with it.
Enjoy.
I've already started cash-happing.
You don't have to like me or love me. Just know I'm paying you guys back for all the B-S I put you through. I Maybe y'all can do some good with it. Enjoy. I've already started cash-happing. You don't have to like me or love me.
Just know I'm paying you guys back for all the BS I put you through.
I owe y'all.
This is why I thought Envy was doing the same thing.
Once again, money is not the devil.
The devil is the devil.
Okay, stop it.
Money, you can do a lot of good with money.
All right, LeBron James, let's talk about his I Promise School that opened yesterday.
Speaking of doing good with money.
Now, it's going to be 240 students there at-risk Ohio kids in the third and fourth grade.
They're going to expand that to first through eighth grade by 2022.
And you can see their sneakers, the sneakers all along the wall.
So I'm sure that's exciting for the kids to every day come in and see the sneakers along the wall.
Now is LeBron James money the devil? Nope, because he's utilizing it the right way.
Yeah, you got to use it for good.
Now, you can also buy the shoes
and anybody who does buy any of the
shoes, their name will be enshrined on the
I Promise School sneaker wall as well.
So that's the LeBron James Family
Foundation. He also talked about
the Lakers and what made him decide to join.
Here's what he said. I definitely thought long
and hard about the possibilities of
lining up alongside Ben and Embiid or lineup aside Harden and Chris.
I felt like at this point in my career, the ultimate for me,
just like when I went to Miami,
everyone kind of looks at me joining a super team.
But I think Miami was 35-47 the year before I joined that team.
And you can look at the Lakers record.
So I like the challenge.
I know the reporter that was talking to LeBron was probably a little star-struck,
but you're supposed to tell LeBron to knock it off right then and there.
Miami was not a super team the year before because D. Wade was by himself.
He became a super team when LeBron and Chris Bosh came there together the next year
and joined with D. Wade.
You two joining D. Wade there made it a super team.
You are not joining with any other superstars in L.A., so it's not a super team.
Like, stop it.
All right, now, Beyonce, let's talk about her Vogue cover.
Now, this is great, and you know we love Beyonce always making strides
and doing things that haven't been done before.
So what she did was Vogue gave her full control over the September cover, which features images of her.
They don't do that ever.
They're saying it's also going to be Anna Wintour's last issue because she's the editor for all this time.
Well, it turns out that she actually hired the first black photographer for the cover of Vogue.
She hired a 23-year-old black photographer.
Okay, that's dope.
And Beyonce used her power and influence
to make sure that she got him that
assignment. Tyler Mitchell.
Can you believe that in 126
years, they've never had
a black photographer shoot a cover of Vogue.
Ever. Wow. Yes, I can believe that. In that whole
entire history. So thanks to Beyonce, it's going
down. This is America. Of course I can believe that.
Alright, well I'm Angela Yee and that is your
rumor report. Alright, thank you Miss Yee. Shout to is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Ms. Yee.
Shout to you guys over at Revolt.
We'll see you tomorrow.
Everybody else, the People's Choice mixes up next.

Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water,
500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?

You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going.
That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, or wherever you get your podcasts. Trying our best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.
