The Breakfast Club - Pusha T Interview to Lil Rel Interview and a hint of Charlmagne exposed
Episode Date: May 25, 2018Friday 5/25- Today on the show before the hip hop talk The Breakfast Club had to handle something that has been undetermined for awhile and that is to find out where Charlamagne lies on the gay spectr...um. The conversation sparked when Andy Cohen visited us the other day and informed how to see if someone is on the gay spectrum, so we had our gay listeners call up to try to seduce Charlamagne. Afterwards we had "Good Music" Artist Pusha T stop by to speak on his new album "Daytona", and let us know hes ready for any Hip Hop beef coming his way. Moreover, Charlamagne gave "Donkey of the Day" to a 30 year old man who was overstaying his welcome at his parents house and comedian Lil Rel stopped by where he discussed his new projects, and more.

Yesterday, I was out all day without my phone.
Yep.
I came to work without my phone
by accident in the morning,
and then after work,
I did some running around.
I went to the mall,
and I didn't get home until like 6 o'clock,

that was supposed to start at 5.30,
but fortunately, everybody was late. Yeah, Angela Yee lost her phone, and she was like... I didn't lose it. I left it at home till like six o'clock and I had a meeting that was supposed to start at 530. But fortunately, everybody was late.
Yeah, Angelique lost her phone and she was like.
I didn't lose it.

She was like, can you hit my friend and tell my friend that I'm not.
I'll respond to him later and I'm not ignoring him.
And I hit all Angelique's friends like, look, I'm not effing with you no more.
Don't hit me back.
And it was like, why?
But why?
Why would she say that?
I'm just joking.
It really is a weird feeling not having your phone with you for the whole entire day.
Like, just not being able to communicate with anybody.
Right.
It wasn't too, too bad, but I can't imagine doing that for more than one day.
I just felt disconnected.
I didn't know what was going on.
Well, that was good.
You need that every once in a while.
Disconnect.
Just get away from everybody.
Why has every news outlet in the world done this?
Because they're saying that Harvey Weinstein is going to turn himself in today,
and it's going to be right here at the police station across the street from our job.
See, I mean, literally every news media outlet in New York City.
Did you get a little nervous?
No, I was just like, why is all these news people out here?
And they are in front of the police station.
Police station, like Angela said, is right across the street.
Right, he's being charged with rape and criminal sex act.
Wow.
He's supposed to be turning himself in right here.
So that's why everybody's here.
I did read that yesterday, but I was just like, why the hell is every, literally every news outlet in New York City is across the street?
They all waiting.
It is hundreds and hundreds of cameras, hundreds and hundreds of photographers.
They are out in full force.
He's getting fingerprinted today.
I was just about to say he's getting fingerprinted today.
I was like, that's justice.
Well, I don't know, yeah.
But so that's what he's turning himself in,
and then he's going to Manhattan Supreme Court,
and that's when he'll appear before the judge.
Oh, that's good.

DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.

Envy.
Because I'm reading it and it says the Rockets beat the Rockets.
Yes, the Rockets played the Warriors last night.
The Western Conference Finals.
Yeah, the Rockets beat the Warriors.
There's only four teams left.
I'm reading what's on this paper and I'm like, the Rockets beat the Warriors. I'm like, no, the Rockets didn't play the Rockets. I Warriors last night. The Western Conference Finals. Yeah, the Rockets played the Warriors. There's only four teams left. I'm reading what's on this paper.
I'm like, the Rockets beat them.
I'm like, no, the Rockets didn't play the Rockets.
I thought you liked basketball.
I do.
I watched it last night.
How do you forget who they played?
I'm reading.
I'm just telling you.
I'm reading off the screen.
Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green.
Are you listening to me?
Yeah, I'm no expert, but I believe these teams have been playing each other for the past
couple of weeks.
Yeah.
It's the same one.
It was only game five last night.
It hasn't been the last couple of weeks.
It's been the last five games. It has been the past couple of weeks. Yeah. It's the same one. It was only game five last night. Hasn't been the last couple of weeks. It's been the last five games.
It has been the past couple of weeks.
How long do you think that lasts?
The Rockets haven't been playing the Warriors the last couple of weeks.
That's what she said.
The last week and a half.
The last week.
Yeah, five games.
Anyway, the Rockets lead the series 3-2 tonight.
The Cavs play the Celtics.
Now, let's talk about who you want to go first.
We'll talk about Rachel Dolezal.
Now, she is being accused of welfare fraud, apparently.
She legally changed her name
back in 2016
to Nkechi Diallo.
And this week,
she's being charged
with theft by welfare fraud,
perjury,
and false verification
for public assistance.
She illegally received
over $8,000
in food assistance
and $100
in child assistance.
And they did
a whole investigation
because they received
information she had
written a book
and she also had put nearly $84,000 into her bank account without reporting it. And they did a whole investigation because they received information. She had written a book.
And she also had put nearly $84,000 into her bank account without reporting it.
So there you go.
She's being investigated.
That's amazing that the only fraud she's being charged with is welfare fraud.
Right.
Can't get charged with identity fraud, black card fraud.
Any of those things. All right.
Now let's talk about traveling.
And I do want to say, as we've been talking about, it is Memorial Week weekend. It's a holiday weekend. So if you are planning to travel this weekend,
please make sure you leave early. They are estimating nearly 42 million Americans will
be planning some sort of getaway, which is an increase from last year. So if you are planning
to go somewhere, just make sure you leave your house early. The roads are going to be really
busy. They said 74% of travelers will be driving to their destinations.
Now, this is kind of scary. An Alexa speaker recorded and shared a private conversation.
Now, one of the users in Portland says that she was shocked when one of her employees in Seattle said that they received a weird voice recording of her and her husband having a private conversation.
They said, unplug your Alexa devices right now. You're being hacked.
So they called Amazon.
They apologized multiple times.
They said what happened is probably a mistake because Alexa mistook
and misheard something that they said and recorded their conversation
and then emailed it out to one of their contacts.
Why, though?
Like, why does Alexa just randomly record conversations?
They do keywords.
It happens to me all the time with Siri.
You might say something and Siri responds.
Siri says, we'll call.
That never happened to you before?
No.
It happened to me.
They said they woke up due to a word in a background conversation that sounded like Alexa.
And then it sounded like it said a send message request.
So listen, that thing is always on.
Just remember everybody that has an Alexa speaker Or any of those
Just remember that
You gotta turn the volume up
I got like three of them
But I don't have none of them
Plugged up in my house
I don't even
They're still in the box
I don't see the need
For that type of
Artificial intelligence
I have one
And it is plugged in
Now my kids use them
All the time
What does it do though?
Alexa play my song
Sure
You can do anything
You can order pizza
You can play music
You can set timers.
Alexa just makes you lazy, basically.
Well, not really, because, I mean, if you've got to...
Alexa, go to Tidal and play my song.
It goes to Tidal and plays the song.
It makes life easy.
Work your thumbs out, kids.
All right, go to Tidal and phone yourself.
All right, well, that's front page news.
Now, yesterday, we had Andy Cohen on the show,
and Charlamagne was
feeling a little kinky. No, I was not
feeling kinky. Shut the hell up. Let's
hear this conversation of Andy and Charlamagne
talking about, well, let's play it.
You know, the other day on the air he said, you know,
I don't know if I'm gay. There hasn't been a gay guy that's really
tucked underwear off of me yet. I mean, that's the
truth of the matter, though. Okay, but you said yet?
First of all, that
clip is taking so out of context.
You did say yet. No, the conversation that I
was having was, I said that I don't know what a
man could say to me that would get me out
of my boxer briefs. That's what I said.
Let's find out this morning. 800-585-1051.
I hate
how this conversation is going. I would love to know if
there's a man out there. Just because you
take it to the butt don't mean you're gay.
Another one taken out of context.
I thought you just said that right now.
No, that was a clip.
But anyway.
Another thing taken out of context.
Well, you try it, Envy.
585-1051.
Set it off.
We need a man out there
that think they can talk Charlamagne,
talk his underwear off of him.
First of all,
I know Andy Cohen has this thing
called the gay spectrum.
I am nowhere near the gay spectrum. I am nowhere near
the gay spectrum.
All I'm simply saying is
I don't know what a man
could tell you.
105.1.
If you're a straight man,
what could another man
tell you to get you
out your boxer briefs?
Trav, if you're listening,
we need you.
800-585-1051.
We need any gay men
that are up right now.
I was just grabbing
the center field.
Don't stop.
Oh, okay.
I'm, you know,
800-585-1051 I can't wait to sue.
I am going to sue.
Who do I need to sue?
We're looking for a gay man that's fixed.
I'm going to start with all the producers in the Breakfast Club.
Then I'm going to go to the town.
You can talk Charlemagne's drawers off.
I'm going to throw IHART into this lawsuit.
If you think you've got enough tongue game to talk Charlemagne's drawers off.
His penis is huge, isn't it?
805-105-1 again.
Okay.
Freaky Friday.
If you think you can talk Charlemagne's drawers draw, let me get a little sexy with it.
First of all, none of y'all have enough game to talk me out of my draws.
Turn the music a little bit.
That's number one.
Turn the music a little.
Number two, I'm not interested at all.
800.
Number three, remember that we're in the middle of the Me Too Time's Up movement.
105.
And we can turn this into the Me Too movement real quick.
Anything can happen.
I'm looking for a guy out there that can talk Charlamagne out his underwear.
I'm uncomfortable.
You know Harvey Weinstein is turning himself in right across the street, literally.
You think you could talk Charlamagne's underwear off?
Not even a block away.
It's cameras everywhere because Harvey Weinstein is turning himself in this morning.
And you're sexually harassing me.
You think he's wearing boxer briefs?
At 6.15 in the morning.
You think he's wearing boxes?
This is disgusting.
Maybe he has no underwear at all. I'm uncomfortable. 800-585-4254. This is the morning. You think he's wearing boxes? This is disgusting. Maybe he has no underwear at all.
I'm uncomfortable.

You know, the other day on the air, he said, you know, I don't know if I'm gay.
There hasn't been a gay guy that's really tucked underwear off of me yet.
I mean, that's the truth of the matter, though.
Okay, but you said, yeah.
Totally taken out of context.

I want you to know Harvey Weinstein is turning himself in right across the street.
You're starting to make me feel very uncomfortable.

The Time's Up Me Too movement is clearly not the only movement that needs to be going on out here.
We're in the Tribeca area.
If you don't know, Harvey Weinstein is turning himself in this morning for all kind of rape charges.
It's literally right across the street from the radio station.
ZZ.
I am going to give my testimony and tell on some of y'all, okay?
I'm tired of this.
I've seen you shit me a little, ZZ.
ZZ's all hot and bothered over here, guys.

I'm going to be honest with y'all.
I'll sue all of y'all, number one, just for the money.
That's number one.
And number two, Harvey Weinstein is turning himself into the first precinct, which is
literally right across the street.
I have been sexually harassed this morning.
I have been sexually assaulted verbally.
And I think that Envy needs to go turn himself in
with Harvey Weinstein right now.
What time is Harvey supposed to turn himself in?
I'm not sure. Just this morning.
First precinct is a half a block away.
Literally every media outlet in New York is right across the street.
Envy, you need to go over there with them.
And every man that called in here this morning
tried to get in my drawers.
But listen, seriously, nobody ever thought about that.
If you're a straight man, what can a man tell you to get in your drawers?
Hey, it happens every day, B.
No, I never thought about that.
Trust me.
I don't believe that.
It definitely happens.
I believe that some of those...
As a matter of fact, some of the gay guys that I know, they actually enjoy doing that.
Really?
Should have had them called this morning, E.
Yeah, so...
Anyway, you got rumors on the way?
Yes, let's talk about Morgan Freeman and all of these accusations against him and what his response has
been. Morgan Freeman. Oh my goodness.
Jesus Christ. Alright.
We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Morning everybody. It's DJ
Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. How you feeling
over there at the Chocolate Thunder? I feel good.
I sent our guy Brandon over across the street to the first precinct
because, you know, every media outlet in New York is over there
because Harvey Weinstein's turning himself in.
So I had Brandon take video of all the cameras and all the police
because I want you to know what it looks like when I got to, you know,
min-to-you.
What are you talking about, ZZ?
So you got to go turn yourself in.
I just want you to know how it's going to look.
ZZ, stop it.
You don't have a long walk because it's literally a half a block away from the radio station. ZZ, you stop it. What are you talking about, ZZ? You got to go turn yourself in. I just want you to know how it's going to look. ZZ, stop it. You don't have a long walk
because it's literally a half a block away
from the radio station.
ZZ, you stop it.
Let's get to the rumors.
Well, yes, Harvey's facing those sex assault charges,
so he is getting fingerprinted at the station right over there.
You got to stop saying that, man.
He's getting fingerprinted.
Every day Harvey's getting finger...
Printed.
Yes, you got to stop saying that.
It would be dope if he was getting fingered.
That's justice.
All right.
All right, let's get to the rumors.
It's time, time, time.
She's spilling the tea.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, now Morgan Freeman is being accused of inappropriate behavior.
So far, 16 people have spoken to CNN about Morgan Freeman as part of this investigation.
Eight of them are victims. They said harassment and others said that inappropriate behavior was conducted by Morgan
Freeman. And eight people said that they witnessed this alleged conduct. So altogether, 16 people,
eight who say they were witnesses and eight who say that they were actual victims. Now,
the reason this whole investigation started is because of CNN. CNN actually did this. And part of the reason is that one of their reporters actually was speaking with Morgan Freeman.
Chloe Malice is her name.
And she was at a press junket for going in style.
She was six months pregnant at the time.
And she said in a room full of people, he was looking her up and down, not letting go of her hand and saying, I wish I was there.
And you are ripe.
I wish I was there. What's that mean?
I don't know.
While he's looking her up and down and saying, boy, do I wish I was there.
I don't know what that's supposed to mean, but it made her very uncomfortable.
Cameras were on and recording, so they did get one of those remarks on camera, but not the rest of them.
And after that particular encounter, that's when Mayla started actually making calls to see if other women had experienced anything similar.
And that's when this whole months-long investigation started.
Turns out that there were a lot of people at his production company, Revelations Entertainment is the name of that. He started that company alongside Laurie McCreary back in 1996, who had similar allegations.
Now, a young production assistant thought she got the job of her dreams. Back in 2015, she started working on Going In Style,
and she said that turned into several months of harassment.
She says that he would touch her and make comments about her figure and clothing on a near daily basis.
He would rest his hand on her lower back or rub her lower back,
and then at one point he tried to lift up her skirt and ask if she was wearing underwear,
and there's several allegations of him doing that to different women.
Now, some people said that Morgan Freeman was great and they never witnessed any questionable behavior or that he was a professional on set and in the office.
But other people did say that they witnessed all kinds of inappropriate behavior.
Now, he is 80 years old and he is one of Hollywood's biggest stars.
And so there's a lot of things going on here.
It's not just people who worked at his company, but it's also people at press junkets that are saying that he was inappropriate at times.
He would ask women to twirl.
Twirl?
Yeah.
Twerk or twirl?
Twirl, like turn around so he could look at them.
Okay, so basically if you ever asked a woman to twerk, boy, you about to be in trouble.
Because if twirling getting you called inappropriate, what is a woman to twerk, boy, you about to be in trouble. Because twirling getting you called inappropriate.
What is telling them to twerk does?
Well, that's in that you can't be like twirl around so I can look at you from front to back.
Like, why would you be asking people to twerk?
Why are you asking people to just randomly twerk?
I've seen that plenty of times.
Right.
Well, we're talking about.
Yes.
Where have you seen that?
Outside of strip club.
Please stop it all the time.
All right.
So they also said there was no real HR department there
so they didn't have any place where they could
talk about their grievances at the workplace
so they actually formed their own
Survivors Club at his company
where people would gather to vent about
their experiences working at Revelations
according to five sources
who were at the gathering which would take place
outside of the office.
So yeah, just certain things like that.
One male employee said that he would basically have all kinds of vulgar
and sexual comments about women he would say to this male employee.
He said he would say things like, I'd like to have an hour with her,
or other things like that.
He said he would be verbally inappropriate, and it was just shocking.
Now, Morgan Freeman has responded to these sexual harassment allegations.
He said, anyone who knows me or has worked with me knows I am not someone who would intentionally offend or knowingly make anyone feel uneasy.
I apologize to anyone who felt uncomfortable or disrespected.
That was never my intent.
He did it in print.
He didn't actually record it so we could hear it.
No, he did not record it.
He gave that statement to Sky News.
He actually wrote it down.
Morgan, you got to use that voice of God of yours in situations like this.
Well, there's already been some fallout.
He's already gotten an ad campaign pulled that he had with Visa after these allegations came out.
I wonder if they're going to pull him dope-ass commercials with him and Busta Rhymes and Missy.
In addition to that, the Screen Actors Guild is now saying that they are planning to perhaps look at the Life Achievement Award that they gave him and see what they're going to do about that.
But shouldn't they investigate first?
Well, yeah, that's the thing.
They do have to investigate first.
So they're thinking about taking corrective actions.
For Visa, right now it's suspended, the ad that he did, while they investigate.
Well, listen, I don't know if any of this is true,
but if it is, Morgan Freeman can't even use the I was young excuse
because he's never been young.
He came out of the womb 45 years of age.
Oh, my goodness.
This is bad.
All right.
Well, that is your rumor report.
When we come back, Pusha T will be joining us.
We'll kick it with Pusha T as a new album came out today.
It's called Daytona.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.

His album is out right now.

What's up, sir?
How are you, my brother?
Beautiful, man.
Beautiful.
First of all, amazing body of work.
Thank you, man.
Amazing body of work.
I appreciate that.
I didn't think seven songs would be fulfilling.
Yeah.
But it is.
No, me neither.
Big argument.
Really?
Huge argument.
I'll go ask you that. You haven't dropped since 2015. Why? Long. No, me neither. Big argument. Huge argument. I'll go ask you that.
You haven't dropped since 2015.
Why?
Long-ass time, man.
You know, 2015, I was doing a lot of the, after that, I was doing a lot of the campaign stuff.
A lot of the, you know, White House, prison reform, all that stuff.
Hillary Clinton's, I forgot what you called it that night, after Jacob Javis.
Yeah.
So, you know, I got caught up in that.
You know, we took that L. Yeah. And then, you know, I was appointed president of Good Music. At the time, it was,
you know, Desiigner ringing off, his singles was going. Right. And just trying to do the album
in between those times. I did it. You know, I did it, put the album together. How it usually goes is, you know, I pick beats, rhyme over them, boom.
Bring it for Ye, let him hear it.
He picks some beats, you know, disregard some of the ones I did,
go back, rhyme over it, bring it all back.
So I go back to, you know, I come back with a finished product,
bring it to him like, look, I feel like this is my album.
He was like, yeah, it's rocking.
You know, so we rock for like two days.
I stayed in L.A. for two days. Third day he wake up, he was like yeah it's rocking you know so we we rock for like two days i stayed
in la for two days third day he wake up he was like yo man um i feel like i could produce these
beats better myself just just do it myself let's go to utah utah utah not wyoming i got wyoming it
was utah first hey what's it what was in utah the jazz it's like this really really expensive resort
and i'm only telling you that part because you know
We split the cost on this right?
So, you know we go out there
So, you know, it says now I look at me. I don't I don't know anything about you push. I know I don't know anything
That's where the Sundance Film Festival is
I've heard about Salt Lake City.
Call them alone, John Stockton.
I know about that.
That's all you know.
So you go out to Utah.
I go out to Utah, right?
We out there the first day, you know, chef eating, kicking it.
And, you know, one day turns into ten days and ain't no beat.
And you paying half that.
Bruh.
Bruh.
How much money are we talking? Man, it's uh, oh
What do I want to say
Thousand
That's my half
Yeah, I'm gonna tell you that yes. That's a lot of money. Yeah, it is. I'm going to tell you.
That's about 50 grand right now.
10 days, 5,000.
So 10 days, no beat.
No, you know, he listening to samples every day, you know, feverishly.
Just listening to samples.
We making like, you know, just playlists where we like.
Then one beat comes.
What was the first beat?
The Games We Play.
My favorite record.
The Games We Play.
And, you know, he was like, hey, rhyme to this.
You know, and mind you, we're in like an eight-bedroom mansion,
middle of nowhere.
All the rooms are decked out like, you know, studios.
So he's like, yo, send that downstairs.
Yo, right there.
I think this is one of them ones.
Do that.
And then, you know, it's a searching process.
You know, it's time to go home. a show host and whatever leave you know I'm like I bet
you know we had a little exercise was cool you're like now let's go to Wyoming
how many beats did you get done in Utah how many records I get done in you I
probably I might have gotten one what so I might have got one but I'm gonna tell
you this he found Tiana Taylor's album at the same time so like while finding my finding my sound
Going through other sounds he's like oh, I think that's I think this for her
So this is where this is where the process of like, you know, what the the the five albums seven songs
It's all building from this point to charge some of that back to their albums? No. But that's a good idea.
That's a really good idea.
You gotta start looking for those little loopholes.
You know why I love
games we play? Because there's a lot of late
70s, early 80s
babies references in that record.
You gotta be born around that era
to get a lot of the language.
For sure.
Even when you reference the purple tape,
when you say mud-made monsters who grew up on the legends from Yonkers.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shout out to Lox.
Well, let me just tell you, Charlamagne has been wearing his same outfit for three days straight.
I did.
He has not took this outfit off because he said he wants to feel like he's still selling crack.
Yo, I feel that way.
I understand.
Adult contemporary trap music.
I understand.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I totally feel you.
No, he's serious. He had that green shirt on for three days.
And the pants. And the pants.
By the way, Roc Nation, the fit is crazy
though. The pants feel so comfortable.
It's funky over here.
Now let's talk Wyoming. Now how do you get to Wyoming?
And did you have to pay for half of that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You had to pay half of Wyoming too.
You had to pay for all these calls. Oh my goodness.
But that's still your budget though, right? You're an artist still, Uncle Mewley.
Bro, I've been in this game for a long time.
Like, I know how to be conservative and get my budget back and put it in my pocket.
Like, no, I don't want to spend it like that.
Right, nobody was...
Oh, I don't.
So he calls you and says, let's go to Wyoming.
Right.
You ever been to Wyoming before that?
Me neither, but go ahead.
No, Envy, I haven't.
I've never been to Wyoming. So you only sold, but go ahead. No, Envy, I haven't. I've never been to Wyoming.
So you only sold Crack in the South.
There you go.
So, you know, we go to Wyoming and, you know, same thing,
listening to samples and just finding the sound, finding it.
And, you know, we did.
We ultimately did find it.
Like, I mean, I just got back from Wyoming, like, last week.
You just finished the album.
Yeah. So when he tweeted out that release date, did you. You just finished the album? Yeah.
So when he tweeted out that release date,
did you know that was the release date?
No.
I knew I was supposed to come first,
but I'm figuring, okay, we all going to do June.
It's a lot of Fridays in June.
We can have them all.
Why I got to be the maid?
Why?
Did you feel like he was rushing you?
Well, I was done.
Okay, okay, okay.
I was done.
Lyrically, I was done. It, okay, okay. I was done. Lyrically, I was done.
It was, you know, it was him and what he has to do.
But I like, you got to give him time, man.
It's like, you know, you go over there to get a beat, man,
and you look in the sneakers, all the samples.
Hey, try these on.
What you got?
You know, and it turns into, it can turn into anything.
Right.
And listen, that can turn into a song. So you just got to go through the process and, you know, and it turns into, it can turn into anything. And listen, that can turn into a song.
So you just got to go through the process and, you know, trust it.
So you haven't dropped since 2015.
Yeah.
Whose idea was it to only do seven songs?
And was that, do you feel like you got all your ideas out in seven songs?
Totally.
Okay.
Like, you know, it was totally, that was totally Kanye's idea.
And he asked me about it and I was like, man, I don't feel that.
I was like, I don't think that's it at all
He's like man. I feel like you know people are getting bombarded with these long albums
I feel like seven is the real number we can get it across short concise
You know it's all of us, you know, and then I just started had to think about it from from his perspective
It's like man if you you put you really producing
35 joints for this month like that's's a lot of records. He did every record. Every single one. I have a question. I know previously it used to be that albums had to be a certain length to be considered a full length album. We were looking for the Grammy specifications last night. 15 minutes in five distinct songs. That's how long it has to be? That's it. I was going to have to be.
That was right, right?
Yeah, it has to be.
Okay, I was going to have to be long.
So an album can be five songs?
Five songs.
For the Grammys.
Okay.
I don't know of anything.
I don't know about, you know, if iTunes, that means the EP or whatever the case may be,
to be eligible for a Grammy.
Five distinct songs, 15 minutes.
How we got more with Pusha T when we come back.
Don't Move
is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy,
Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Pusha T's in the building.
Now, I want to talk about
a song that's been buzzing
on the internet.
What's that?
Okay.
All right.
Now, you talk about
Birdman, baby.
Yeah.
Again. Again. Oh, now it's okayerman, baby. Yeah. Again. Again.
Oh, now it's okay to kill baby. Look at me crazy. Like I really killed the baby.
Salute Ross cause the message was pure. He see what I see when you see Wayne on tour.
Yeah. You want that smoke? You want that smoke with that whole team? No, it's just, you know,
it's just, um, man, you gotta just address things. Like, I'm going off of social media.
I'm going off what people say, what, you know, how people address me, what they talking about.
I seen Baby the other day.
Seen him in an elevator.
Really?
In an elevator together?
In an elevator.
Was y'all like Q and Bishop?
What conversation was that?
Was it like Q and Bishop?
You going to shoot me in the elevator?
Had he ever heard Infrared?
No.
It was before that. It was like, what's bracking? Like, what's bracking? Wow. You going to shoot me in the elevator? Had he ever heard Infrared? No. It was before that.
It was like, what's bracken?
Like, what's bracken?
Wow.
You had a lot of people with him?
Yeah, for sure.
You don't roll with a lot of people.
I push him by myself.
But by himself, no, I do that.
He's like, what's bracken?
I was like, ain't nothing.
He didn't get much up.
He was like, you good?
I was like, yeah, I'm good.
You sure?
He said, I'm positive.
Got off floor six.
That was that?
That was that.
That was the first time y'all seen each other all these years?
Yeah, I don't.
No, I probably seen him at a fight or something.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Vegas.
But he hadn't heard Infrared yet or heard about it, so.
Yeah, but I mean, you know, I feel like.
It's music.
Yeah, for sure it's music.
But beyond that, I feel like Inf like infrared is just me talking to everybody.
It's like, man, I've addressed a lot of these things, right?
And then, you know, I've taken heat for addressing these things.
And then I was speaking about how Ross had addressed it just recently on his album.
And I was saying, damn, you know, I respect that Ross was speaking from a pure place.
But, you know, oh, now it's okay.
It's okay to kill baby.
But he looked at me crazy like I really killed the baby.
During that time.
Right.
You know.
So let me ask you a question, right?
Because let me just paint this picture.
So you see him in the elevator, right?
And you could have said, you know what, I'm going to take the next elevator.
But you said, all right.
No, no, no.
I was on the elevator.
Oh, you were on the elevator.
So you was Q and he was Bishop.
Yes.
Okay.
You was already on the elevator.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Got you, got you, got you.
Were you shook at all?
Just a little like, damn, it might go down?
Bro, I've been in this so long, and I just look at everybody as like real people.
Like, I know you like a real, I mean, minus all the tattoos and weird shit.
You like, you're a real person, man.
For all the newbies in the game, all the youngsters,
this has been going on for a long time.
What exactly is the issue with Wayne and Baby?
Listen, I don't have necessarily an issue.
I don't.
Like, you know, we're just talking about and speaking about, you know,
just the situation.
Like, we're just speaking about these speaking about, you know, just the situation. Like,
we're just speaking about,
these are just bars, man.
But did it start from allegedly
that,
I guess,
you felt,
or people felt that
Wayne was taking your style
and some of the stuff
and taking your,
that's where it originated from?
But that's old.
Like,
that ain't even,
like,
I don't even wear
that type of stuff no more.
And I never even claimed that.
I never claimed that.
Other people claimed it.
That's people did.
And then then the internet
and not everybody knows
how to be respectful
of somebody
when addressing,
when talking about them.
You know what I'm saying?
You cursed you out
a couple of times on Twitter.
Yeah, weird stuff.
Push a T in anybody
who loves you.
Yeah, but that, listen.
That makes you laugh probably.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That one.
All of it.
I mean, you know,
ain't much of it,
nothing to me.
It's just,
it makes for good content. And that was just a, that one. All of it. I mean, you know, ain't much of it, nothing to me. It's just, it makes for good content.
And that was just a,
that was honestly just a,
me talking about,
in that song,
I was just talking about how,
man, how to tie his turn.
Everybody looked at me one way,
you know,
and then Ross did it
and it was like,
oh man, we riding,
we rocking with you.
He was all up here.
You almost sound kind of sorry
for Wayne in the record
a little bit.
You do
You sound like another
Multi-platinum artist
Stuck on tour
For the rest of his career
Bro I'm trying to find
I'm trying to find
My retire
My exit route
I can't imagine
Selling all them records
And having to still do
A show
A club hosting
Where
And I look
And I look at the game
It's me
And it's me
Looking at the young
today and how
man they so self sufficient
like they're like so self sufficient
like man I was coming up here begging
you know I was coming to New York begging
for a deal
I watch these kids do it at home

You shouldn't be able
To pay Lil Wayne
15, 20 grand
To host the club
At this point
No
Listen man
I don't
He not taking no 15, 20 grand I don't know at this point. Bro, listen, man. He's not taking no 15, 20 grand.
I don't know.
I don't know what that is.
But I'm just saying that, you know, personally,
I feel like there's a way that we got to, like,
what the hoes say about the cold crush?
Overcharging for what they did to the cold crush.
Yeah, we can't do that amongst us.
We can't do that amongst us.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, we got to protect.
We got to protect our own.
Has Wayne or Drake ever reached out to you?
No, no, no, no, no.
I mean, they say Drake reached out on two birds with one stone.
Yeah, he definitely did.
Is that why he got these shots on infrared?
Yeah, he threw a shot at him.
His beats is banging in your hooks, did it?
The lyric pinning equal to Trump's winning.
The bigger question is how the Russians did it.
It was written like Nas, but it came from Quentin. Yeah, you know,ians did it it was written like nas but it came from
quentin yeah you know i yeah i feel like it was it was to be responded to like you know i at the
same time it's music but who who gets to talk to who like like certain people i do want to talk to
i do want to rap with so on and so forth i don't want to rap i don't really look at that i don't
even look at that situation the same
since how that all played out and how that came out.
Like, you can't let, they're the real writers out here,
you know what I'm saying, who really do this,
who really, like, enjoy the craft of this.
Then there's other artists who make great music, you know,
and they put it together how they put it together.
I don't feel like we get to have that conversation.
Like, you know, it's other people that I should have that conversation with
that I truly respect.
They pin and stuff like that.
So Drake can't talk to you because you don't write his raps?
Yeah, I'm not with you.
But some people say Drake writes some of his raps, and he's written them, right?
But just not all of them.
I don't know, man.
I mean, I feel like, I don't know, I'm not there. I just know all of them. I don't know, man. I mean, I feel like, what's the, I mean, I don't know. I'm not there.
I just know what's known.
And it's like, he was speaking his truth on that record.
And that's cool.
Like, I'm not going to have no argument with you about who's the realist, who sold the most dope.
You know, I didn't sell whatever.
That's cool.
That's your truth.
That's how you feel.
And that's fine with me. But I got my truth, too's cool. That's your truth. That's how you feel. That's fine with me.
But I got my truth too.
Infrared is my truth.
And we can lay mine out on the table.
We can see it.
It's documented.
That's that.
And I do have my own proclamations.
Only rapper so more dope than me is Eazy-E.
God bless the dead.
That's it.
Jay-Z lost 92 bricks and got it all back, though.
That's cool.
Here to go.
Hold on, hold on.
Drake and Ye got a relationship.
That's cool.
Does Kanye ever try to be like, come on, push.
Let me get y'all together.
Even Kanye ain't waiting on him.
You know, you don't, I mean, I don't know.
You know, they do have a relationship.
I don't know how that works out.
But he's closer with you, so. You know, I don't, I don't, listen. do have a relationship. I don't know how that works out. But he's closer with you.
They live in the same neighborhood.
You go to the house.
I don't put street values and things in the music game.
It's business for everybody.
It's friendships.
It's relationships with everybody.
I ride a little different.
I'm on good music, man.
Everybody got a role
on good music.
Like,
when people take shots
and so on and so forth,
I gotta take them.
I'm gonna take all those
and I'm gonna throw them back.
Everybody else gets
the kiki,
smile,
dap up everybody else.
We all got different brands.
That's the thing about
being on good music.
You know what I'm saying?
He play creative fashion.
Boom, boom, producer.
You know, I'm up there.
I'm rap superhero.
You know what I'm saying?
Those lines get blurred a little bit.
Those lines get blurred a lot, actually.
Are you ready for Drake Smoke, though?
Of course.
You got something to cut.
That's what I was going to say.
Drake hit you with a back-to-back push. Listen Of course. You got something to cut. That's what I was going to say. You got something to cut.
Drake hit you with a back-to-back push.
Listen, man.
It is what it is.
That was a cool thing.
That's cool.
That's cute.
That was cute.
That was cute.
I do want to see that, though.
I'm not going to lie.
Yeah, he does.
I do.
I'm not going to lie.
I think Drake is a formidable foe.
We've seen that for how he handled the Meek situation.
He can rap when he wants to, and we definitely know you a spitter.
I think that would be pretty good.
Right, but you have to still look at it differently.
Don't pit me in my skill set with his skill set.
I feel like we do different things.
Like I said, they put records together in a great way for what they do.
I feel like I do something that is a draw.
It would be dope if you wrote a diss record for him that Ghost wrote it for him about you.
Angela is going to catch a ball for that.
She's going to catch a ball for that.
Drake is going to give you a ball for that.
Aubrey is going to give you a ball for that.
She's going to give you a ball for that one. Better's going to give you a bar for that. I'm going to give you a bar for that one, Yee.
Better hope your face clean out here, especially in the six, Yee.
All right, we got more with Pusha T when we come back.
Let's get into a Pusha T mini mix.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Pusha T is here.
Now, you only have two guest appearances on it, I guess, because why Ross on the album?
Ross is by far one of the people who gives me the perfect verse every time. I feel like he's somebody that I can send a record to and get that back and turn my back on it and know that it's going to come back how it needs to come back.
I wanted to hear Hov on this album, too.
I don't know why. The first record y'all did there with each other was just amazing I wanted to hear more yeah yeah drug
dealers anonymous was was an amazing record I don't like to ask people for
features frivolously like drug dealers anonymous was a record that I felt like
I ain't never asked for one.
I'm going to ask for this, and I feel like it's so fitting.
I don't want people to ever think.
Like, I don't ever like to call people and ask them to be on records.
I mean, everybody got a lot to do.
I hate it.
I hate when, you know, I got to take time out and do things.
And I feel like it's like a throwaway or something that's not going to be meaningful.
It was divine, though, because it was very timely.
Yeah, no, it worked.
Lauren had just called Jay out, called him a 14-year drug dealer.
Yeah, no, listen, it was perfect.
It was perfect, and I feel like the record is something that,
I mean, that's a benchmark in my career.
Now, was this album originally supposed to be produced by the Neptunes?
It wasn't that the whole album was. It's never not a time where I
don't go to Pharrell and
Chad to get music. Does he still charge
you? Pharrell? Does Pete charge me?
He doesn't, right? Yeah, I don't think so.
You don't know? No.
No, I mean, no, I just
I don't know. Like, I
really don't know that. I wouldn't know
that about him. I saw him at the listening
session last night. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was shocked that he didn't have a record on the album though yeah no no he did he
didn't so y'all did a lot of records though so you got yeah yeah i was gonna say what happened
to all those songs that kanye said he felt like he could produce man i lost like wow producer
relationships behind i mean i think everybody understood though you know i had to just call
them guys text whatever like yo i know this was supposed to be the plan. This ain't it.
Will we ever hear
those songs? Yeah, of course.
They were great.
Yo, we gotta fix that too. I just changed
the title. Yeah, it's the same album.
It's the same album, yeah.
Same album, minus
some songs, and I just changed
the title. And I only changed the title because
I felt like Daytona represented what you guys are witnessing.
And what you're really witnessing is two artists really having the luxury of time to really put an album together.
That's why I named it Daytona.
Yeah, I don't want to see artists like yourself that's been in the game so long, that's even your age, rushing, doing trendy stuff.
Yeah, man. You know what I mean? That's not the move. It's fundamental even your age rushing, you know, doing trendy stuff. Yeah, man.
You know what I mean?
That's not the move.
It's fundamental hip-hop stuff too.
So it's like,
I'm here to show
that like,
the fundamentals of hip-hop
still apply.
I feel like Daytona's like,
definitely one of those albums
that you're gonna be able
to put up against
whatever you feel like
is great this year.
Now,
what's your relationship
with Kanye?
How is that relationship?
And the reason I ask is,
sometimes when
your peoples or your friends say something left
or say something foul, you check them.
I posted something on Instagram
and pushy pushy called me immediately
like, your son, I think you're jumping the gun on that.
So how
was that conversation with Kanye when he said
some of the outlandish stuff that he's been saying about
Trump and the slaves? Do y'all have those conversations?
Yeah, yeah, we definitely do.
I think I was out there right after TMZ.
And, you know, he asked my opinion on it.
I tell him, you know, I didn't think it was a good look at all.
He knows my political stance.
He knows, like, you know, about me riding with the Hillary campaign.
He knows my agenda more than anything about prison reform.
We talk about all of that.
There's nothing that can even make me agree
with him in regards to Trump
because I can't even have my conversation
any longer
in regards to my agenda. That's not going to happen
during this Trump
regime.
They're trying to do a new bill now, but the bill's kind of funny.
Listen, they're doing everything and they're doing it quick.
That's something that could happen right now.
And they could do if they felt it was or deemed it important.
Did you think it was a bad idea for Meek to go and have that conversation at the White House?
He had a, I don't know about that.
Oh, he was invited.
He was supposed to go.
Yeah, he was supposed to go and then he didn't go at the last minute.
Because I guess a lot of people told him
not to go to talk about prison
reform. Yeah, and
let me tell you something. I sort of feel like
I know I would be like, hey,
nah, don't go up there and speak about
it, right? But then, you know, when I'm
thinking about Meek, Meek really sat down.
Meek sat down and was in jail.
You know what I'm saying? And I'm
sure, you know, he knows I'm sure He knows his reach
He knows his voice
It's like trying to go to the label
And convince the label that you got a hit record
And they don't really see it
I'm sure he feels like he can
Articulate that
And show his influence to somebody like him
And pull it off
Because you have those hopes.
But you just don't know the real agenda of you being.
Yeah, you know, I can't.
And I don't, you know, I don't think he's like a real.
I don't think Trump is like a real president.
You know, I don't think he's a real president.
I don't think he's agenda driven.
I feel like he's he's self-driven.
So I wouldn't I wouldn't for that.
Did you send him the What Would Meek Do
song before? No, man.
I didn't. I didn't send it to him
and it was a beat
that I really heard him on.
I heard him on it so much
that I even had a line
in the song that says
What Would Meek Do, right?
Okay, that's what it came from.
But he was in jail. This is happening all here in jail.
I don't know if he coming out ever,
whatever the case may be.
I don't know how that's working.
I just remember being like, damn, man.
See, if Meek was here, he could have knocked this out.
This and that.
Lo and behold, he gets out.
We have birthdays around the same time.
I hit him, yo, happy birthday.
His son's birthday is on my day.
And before, I just couldn't bring myself to ask him, fresh out of jail, to go to a studio and write a verse for me.
I'm battling with that.
And I'm like seeing him like with his son on IG.
You know, they putting on the chains.
I'm like, man, I'm not doing it.
Is there any truth to the fact that you wrote Scoopity Poop?
Poopity Poopity Scoop.
Poop?
Scoop.
No, man.
So that sounds bad enough.
Why did you tell him,
like, come on, Ye,
like, this is enough.
He said that on your record,
though.
That's actually dope
when he says it on your record.
He does.
When people talk as shit,
Ye, how do you respond?
Scoop?
But listen,
and I love the fact
that he did that on my record
because, man, you know,
everybody's not privy
to the conversations
that we have.
You had actually
a really, really good interview and, like, you be getting, like, you know, everybody's not privy to the conversations that we have. You had actually a really, really good interview.
And, like, you be getting, like, you got a lot of the inside of, you know.
And I can't imagine what you got off camera.
All right.
But that beat is so fire.
The beat is crazy.
Lift Your Soul beat is so fire.
And I think that shows you his level of confidence and arrogance in these releases.
Because that's a real single.
Listen, it's a real single that even has real other lyrics to it, so on and so forth.
And that's what I'm waiting for.
And he's like, yo, you know what?
I'm going to throw this out, and I'm going to show him what I think about all that.
It's nothing.
And I'm going to show them that I'm putting out heat
and this is what I choose
to do on it. One last question. What are the
challenges of being an
older rapper? Because I was having this conversation
with Scarface the other day and he said he feels
like he's the best he's ever been
because of just pure experience.
Yeah, man.
I don't necessarily know that they're
real challenges for me
I look at hip hop in it's entirety
You know this isn't just about rap
It's about the fashion it's about just the whole
Culture of hip hop and if you're relevant
Within that culture and you're still
Being competitive in all those spaces
I don't see where hip hop ages
I want a whole album all the time
I do I was just in the studio
With Nas yes I want Nas album Yes you guys are going. I do. I was just in the studio with Nas.
Yes, I want Nas' album.
Yes.
You guys are going to be impressed.
Is it only seven songs?
Yes.
All the songs that are coming, all the albums that are coming, only seven?
My album, seven.
Kanye album, seven.
Kanye and Cudi album, seven.
Nas album, seven.
Tiana album, seven.
That's that number.
That's like Illuminati to me.
Is Nas going to make his release date?
Yeah, I think so.
Is Kanye going to make his release date? Next Friday me. Is Nas going to make his release date? Yeah, I think so. Is Kanye going to make his release date?
Next Friday?
Kanye is definitely going to make his release date.
Lord, don't you do me like this.
Don't do me like this.
Yes, he's going to make his release date.
Don't do me like this.
I swear.
Like, don't. June 5th.
Please.
All right.
Well, Pusha T album is out right now.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
What's happening?
Friday.
Yes.
It's Friday.
Harvey Washington just turned himself in, by the way.
Yes, he has turned himself in about 30 minutes ago.
The only reason I care is because the police station is literally right across the street from the radio station.
We're concerned about traffic.
Which I don't understand.
The two times I've been assaulted in front of the radio station, it took police forever to get here.
And they literally right a half a block away.
Well, one time when you got assaulted, there was a bomb threat.
So the police were down the block at the bomb threat.
Every single one of them?
Yeah.
Every single police officer?
Yes.
Then they showed up and was just like, oh, I mean, well.
There was a bomb threat.
I'm glad that finally there's going to be justice against Harvey Weinstein.
Do you want to press charges?
Yes, I do.
Let's get to the rumors.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The rumor report. Gossip. Angela Yee. It the gossip, gossip. The Rumor Report.
Gossip, gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the Rumor Report.
The Breakfast Club.
We've been waiting for this Nicki Minaj announcement all week
because she's been delaying it.
She was supposed to go on Ellen, then she said doctor's order,
she couldn't get on the flight,
and now she has finally given the announcement, and here it is.
The album itself, I think I want to put out on August 10th.
I want to put out my second single,
which I'm really, really excited about.
And I want to now start an official countdown.
I also want to do like some things
where I invite some of my actual fans to the studio
and listen to the album and listen to the songs
and, you know, hear the second single
and, you know, all that stuff.
All right, so that's the delay.
That's the announcement.
I wonder if the longer you wait nowadays,
does it lessen the anticipation?
Because think about it, you know.
Yes.
Like, yeah.
Because you forget about it.
I like when it just drops.
Yeah, just put it out.
Just give it to me.
Yeah, like ASAP Rock.
You just put an album out today as well.
And I'm going to listen soon as I leave.
I'm going to listen soon as I get off air.
Absolutely.
As soon as it comes out, you just want to listen.
You don't want to wait because you forget about it.
Other music comes out.
August?
August is a long time.
Yeah, shout out to ASAP Rocky.
Now, in the meantime, Nikki also is going to be helping some of her fans pay for their education.
That's great.
She tweeted out, just send one tweet with the hashtag, hashtag student of the game,
saying how much money you need and what it's for.
All money will be paid directly towards the tuition, books, etc.
And I'll favorite your tweet and DM you if you've been chosen.
That's great.
Drop on the clues box for Nikki and I.
I'm about to send her a tweet right now and put student of the game.
Well, it's going to go directly to the school, so it's not going to come to you, the money.
No, you can't get no money.
So you're going to have to go to school then.
I enrolled into Strayer University.
I don't know if y'all know.
There's a few different campuses for Strayer.
I looked it up.
I'm online.
Don't go to Trump University.
No.
All right.
And like I said, A$AP Rocky's new album, Testing, is now available.
He's actually on the cover of Complex as well.
Now, he said this is the first album that he'd done without A$AP Yams by his side.
He said it wasn't the same without him, but it's with any legacy that loses a pioneer.
You got to keep going.
Yams is a spirit.
He's an energy. He was always about discovering new talent and
trying to put new people on. I think that's what validated
him in hip-hop. You're not gonna talk about Nicki's
song she just released? Oh, well,
first of all, that's YG's song. Oh,
it's YG's song. Okay. Right, but yes, let me
just finish this and then I'll get to that, but
he also says that he worked extensively
with Kanye, Tyler, the creator,
Dean Blunt, and Hector Delgado to lay the sounding foundation for this new project.
And yes, YG put out a new song, and Nicki Minaj is on that song,
as well as Big Sean and 2 Chainz.
Here's Nicki's part.
Back again, back to back, made back, stack the M's
Told him I'm a slim shady, bag the M
Once he go black, he'll be back again
Tell him that it's crunch time, abdomen. Yes, I
caught Mad Chanel and Madja Vin.
She did it again. Imagine
them. About to make these bums
mad again. Uh-oh.
Back to them. I leave the
packs on my back to them. Yup, the
queen's back. What's happening?
Rerun. About to make these bums rap again.
Uh-oh.
Alright, what'd you guys think?
Uh, I don't care for the record.
I heard it when Envy played it earlier.
I don't necessarily care for the record,
but Nicki did wash everybody on it, though.
All right, well, here's the hook with YG
and a little 2 Chainz.
Big bang tight, low buy.
Big bang tight, low buy.
Type of money, you gon' need a site.
Type of money, you gon' need a bite.
Front of hood is type of money, make you stay away. Type of money, she gon' let you gon' need to psych. The type of money you gon' need to bite. Front of hood is type of money make you stay awake.
Type of money she gon' let you put it in the fight.
Big bank, tight, low bite.
Big bank, tight, low bite.
Everything proper, no propaganda.
Top of counter, go yard, bandana.
Big sack, a lot of like Santa.
Do a birthday party in a phantom.
There you go.
Okay, I might take that back.
2 Chainz might have that.
2 Chainz. Come on now. You clearly didn't listen to back. 2 Chainz might have that back. 2 Chainz.
Come on now.
You clearly didn't listen to it
for real.
See what happens
when you just make a judgment.
Did you even hear Big Short?
Did you hear Big Short?
I heard Big Short on it.
And we played it
in the room earlier.
All right, you gotta play
the whole thing.
Keep listening.
All right, well, I'm Angela Yee
and that is your Rumor Report.
All right, thank you, Miss Yee.

That's what I said.
Poopity scoop.
Scrape like that.
You would love to get a scoop of my poop, wouldn't you?
What?
Huh?
You would love that, wouldn't you?
You know what?
This guy, man.
Let's get to the room.
Let's get to the donkey, man.
Who you gonna give your donkey to, man?
Who you giving...
He was trying to figure that out.
I didn't want to say who you gonna give your donkey to after I said poopity scoop and you talk about me having your poop in your scoop. Charlemagne, which one of the guys I called this morning you giving your donkey to, man? He was trying to figure that out. I didn't want to say who you gonna give your donkey to after I said poopity-scoopity.
You talk about me having your poopity-scoopity.
Which one of the guys I called this morning,
you giving your donkey to?
Who you giving that donkey to?
I'm gonna bring Dr. Umar back up here.
I'm tired of this.

Okay, I'm bringing Dr. Umar back up here
because this is getting out of hand.
All right, y'all letting Dr. Umar down.
All right?
Now, before after the hour,
we're giving donkey of the day
to a young man named Matt Rotundo.
Okay? He needs to come to the front of the congregation. We'd the Day to a young man named Matt Rotundo. Okay?
He needs to come to the front of the congregation.
We'd like to have a word with him.
You may not know who Matt is, but you will at 8.04.
All right.
That happens next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
You get Donkey of the Day.
Yeah, you dumbass.
You get Donkey of the Day.
Yeah, you dumbass.
You are the 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 them 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.
I know she is.
This is a breakfast club, bitchy.
Who's donkey of the day today?
Listen, donkey of the day for Friday, May 25th goes to Michael Rotundo.
Now, if you don't know who Michael Rotundo is, he's a 30-year-old man
who clearly has never heard such motivating records like TLC No Scrubs,
where T-Boz, Left Eye, and Chili told young men they don't want no scrubs.
A scrub is a man who can't get no love from them, okay,
hanging out the passenger side of their best friend's ride.
I did not want to be that guy in the passenger side, okay?
When Rosanda Thomas said, oh, if you live at home with your mama,
oh, yes, boy, I'm talking to you, it sent chills up my spine.
I knew at that point I couldn't live at home with my mama no more
because you can't get chicks that look like chili, you know,
with the natural baby hairs if you live home with your mom, okay?
When Outkast and Goody Mob
told me, you need to get up, get out, and get
something. Don't let the days of your life pass by.
You need to get up, get out, and get something, because you and
I got to do for you and I. When I heard that record,
my rusty butt
knew I had to get up and get out of my mama
house. And who can forget Jay-Z, Can
I Live? He said rusty butt. Shut up.
Okay? Stop worrying about my butt
this morning. Okay? And who can forget Jay-Z, Can I Live? He said rusty butt. Shut up. Okay? Stop worrying about my butt this morning. Okay? And who can forget
Jay-Z, can I live? One
line. One line let me
know I can't live with my mama no more.
And that line was, I'd rather
die enormous than live dormant. And
living in your mama house past a certain age
is living dormant. Okay? See, Michael Rotundo
is 30 years old and still
lives at home with his parents. In fact, not only does he
live at home with his parents,
his parents had to sue him, okay,
to get him evicted from their house.
Okay, real quick around the room.
Can we play a game of Guess What Race It Is?
Okay, real quick around the room.
Envy, 30-year-old man gets sued by parents
to get him evicted from their home.
What race is that individual?
White.
Angela Yee, 30-year-old man gets sued by parents to get him evicted from their home, what race is that individual? White. Angela Yee, 30-year-old man gets sued by parents
to get him evicted from their home,
what race is that individual?
Caucasian.
White people?
White people?
I said white people.
What's wrong with you?
Let's go to CBS News for the report.
30-year-old Michael Rotundo has caught the attention
of households around the country
as a headstrong squatter in his parents' suburban Syracuse home. Parents Mark and Christina Rotundo has caught the attention of households around the country as a headstrong squatter in his parents suburban Syracuse home.
Parents Mark and Christina Rotundo told a judge they've been trying to evict their unemployed son for eight years, writing him five notices since February, even gifting Michael $1,100 to pay rent.
In an interview today, Michael says he wants to move out but believes he's owed a six-month notice. I would consider much of what they were doing to try to get me out as a tax.
I'll leave. I don't like living here but I need you know I need reasonable time.
But the judge ultimately sided with the parents. Michael blames an ongoing
custody battle over his own son for overstaying his welcome at home. He's a
college graduate. I went for engineering and then when I couldn't do the math, I switched to business.
But he couldn't keep a job.
I have plans to be able to provide myself with the income I need to support myself,
but it's not something that's going to come together tomorrow.
Matt Rotundo has never heard the notorious B.I.G. say,
being broke at 30 gives a brother the chills.
See, personally, when I heard that line in 1995 when I was a teenager, I knew I couldn't be broke at age 30.
I just wanted better for myself.
Matt, you don't want better for yourself, okay?
You want enablers in your life.
You want to be dependent on your parents for the rest of your life.
God forbid if your parents pass away, what you going to do?
You don't pay bills.
You don't pay rent.
Your parents have given you every opportunity to be great, and you haven't succeeded.
Okay?
Your parents gave you $1,100, and you could find a place to stay.
Let me tell you something.
When I first moved out of my mom's house, I left Monk's Corner, South Carolina, and
got an apartment in West Columbia.
Okay?
You drop on a Clues Bound from Columbia, South Carolina to 803.
I think my rent might have been $400 at the time.
Okay?
I think I had to pay a security deposit and first month rent.
So maybe it was $800.
Okay? That's what I needed. I don't
remember. But I do know I didn't have it.
I didn't have parents that could give me $1,100 to help
me out. But I knew I had to get out.
See, living with your mama past a certain age
is the sunken place.
Michael Rotundo, what's his name?
Matt or Michael? Michael. Michael Rotundo,
you are in the sunken place.
Even though I didn't have the money, I saved up
and got that money and I wasn't even full time
at the radio station.
Hot 1039 by the way, where we now do mornings.
They fired me at one time too, but we do mornings.
You're back. Yes.
I was doing part time at the radio station.
I wasn't sure I was going to have the rent every
month, but I said F it because anything
was better than hanging out the passenger
side of your best friend's ride and living with
your mama. So in the words of Martin Luther King Jr.,
I took that first step even though I didn't see the rest of the staircase,
and that is what Michael Rotundo is scared to do,
take the first step to get his big 30-year-old rusty butt out of his mama house.
Now, why is Matt Rotundo getting donkier day to day?
Not just for being 30 and living with his parents,
but he was on TMZ Live the other day,
and he was asked if he thinks his parents are good people,
and listen to what he had to say.
Do you think your parents are good people?
I would say no.
Why do you say that?
Well, I just think that when you attack someone
who's supposed to be, you know, someone you love,
it really reflects poorly on,
I don't think good people do that.
Once you do move out,
will there be a relationship between you and your parents?
No.
Wow.
How dare you?
Why, people?
Why, people?
I see why, people.
I can smell the privilege on his breath.
Okay?
Do you know the level of entitlement you have to have to live with your parents for 30 years rent-free
and then when they finally want you to leave because they want to walk around their house naked or because they have taken care of you 12 years past the legal age, you have the nerve to say they're not good people.
They raised you as a baby all through your teens and your 20s.
And now they're not good people because you 30 and they want you out your house, out their house.
Well, Michael, I am sorry your parents disapproval of your behavior and sense of entitlement makes you uncomfortable.
OK, kids, always remember your parents owe disapproval of your behavior and sense of entitlement makes you uncomfortable. Okay?
Kids, always remember your parents owe you nothing.
All right?
And a sense of entitlement is a cancerous thought process that is void of gratitude
and can be deadly to all relationships.
Please give Michael Rotundo the sweet sounds and the hammer tones, please.
Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.
You are the donkey
of the day.
Yee-haw.
Yee-haw.
I'm shocked the parents feel comfortable
with him living in the house. What's crazy is he
don't even speak to them in the house. Like, how dare he?
That's what I'm saying. That's the kind of
son that, you know, wakes up one day and
decides to kill his parents.
Yeah.
All right.
You know why?
Why, CZ?
All right.
Thank you for that donkey of the day.
Now, when we come back, comedian, actor,
Lil Rel will be joining us.
We'll kick it with Lil Rel when we come back.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Come on.
The Breakfast Club.
This is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Man.
Lil Rel.
What up?
So let's get into it.
You have your own show coming to Fox?
Yes, yeah.
Fox gave me a show, and it's really funny.
I'm really proud of it.
It's really funny.
I wrote it with Gerard and my friends, Josh and Kevin,
so it was a crazy process, though. It's really funny. I wrote it with Gerard and my friends, Josh and Kevin.
It was a crazy process.
I don't know if I... I don't know.
Network TV is kind of interesting.
How long does that process take?
Because I always hear these stories about how it takes years and years and years for a show to get picked up.
Well, everything happened pretty fast with our show.
When I pitched it in the room, they were like, all right, we'll give you a pilot.
I'm like, damn, I didn't leave the room after I pitched it.
And then it took longer after we turned it in.
Like, the taping night was insane.
The crowd was into it.
Everybody was good.
But it was just so much, even from cast,
it was just a lot of little stuff.
And, you know, it's so funny at the end,
everybody's like, oh, the cast and everything is great.
I'm like, I know, but I had to fight you out for all this stuff.
That's how it always is.
What made you hire Jess Hilarious, funny ass?
Because she had the best audition.
And it was so crazy because it was some of my homegirls I was rooting for, right?
That's comedians.
And then I watched their audition.
I'm like, what choice did you make?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, tell them about the show if they don't know.
Yeah, what was the pitch?
What's the show?
What's the pitch?
I mean, Real is loosely based on my life and more or less towards my material.
It's just me being divorced.
My wife just left, and I ended up finding out that she cheated on me with my barber.
With your barber?
Yeah, that's what makes it funny.
Did she really sleep with your barber, Raelle?
Hey, man, it's loosely based on my life, guys.
Was the barber coming to the house to cut your hair?
No, so in the show, the barber works at the barbershop.
Oh, okay.
And everybody kind of gets on me.
DC Young flies, and he's hysterical in a pilot.
But it's just showing a man rebuild his life.
Do you still get a haircut for the barber?
Because you know how we are with our barbers.
Our barber's cheap.
What's up?
Right.
You go to another barber, they always mess you up.
That's when you got to get a baldy.
But that's what made it funny, too, because we wrote it so many different ways where I
did get a couple bad haircuts, and that's when we go back.
So it was fun playing with that dynamic of it.
But, no, I mean, you can get you a good barber.
No, guys have such a crazy relationship with their barbers.
It's like they will not break up with their barber.
It's hard to break up with them, too, because sometimes you move.
I'm like, bro, I can't move you to L.A., man.
You're traveling.
Yeah, like, I'm not that guy.
I'm not Kevin Hart.
Oh, I know some dudes that fly their barbers out from the East Coast. Salute to Johnny. Johnny flies out to the West Coast all the time. People be traveling. Yeah, like, I'm not that guy. I'm not Kevin Hart. Oh, I know some dudes that fly their barbers
out from the East Coast.
Salute to Johnny.
Johnny flies out
to the West Coast
People be doing fly outs
for their barbers
is really a relationship.
Y'all do fly outs.
You guys move them in,
take care of them.
That's so funny.
That's kind of weird.
People treat their barber
like a nanny.
I'm not doing that.
So in real life,
did your wife really
cheat with your barber?
How loose was that part
Hey man
I put that in the show
Because it was funny
Wow
So did you divorce your barber
In real life
See you keep chatting
See what's going on in real life
I would
I tell somebody
I'm never gonna tell
People what's true
Only people that know
Is my friends
So like
It's a lot of stuff
That's true in there
Some stuff that ain't true
And y'all never know
We're gonna know soon enough.
We're going to know when your wife or your ex-wife makes that complaint
and starts trying to file lawsuits and all that stuff.
No, it won't.
Or your line cooking on your headline.
She's going to be like, I need some money for this storyline.
That's why you make that a pilot,
and then you just move on and never tell that story again.
Now, was it hard to get the network to bring in people like DC and Jessa Larris?
Because, I mean, they came from social media.
They don't really have the acting background yet.
Well, it wasn't even just that.
I mean, it was hard because Jordan L. Jones played my little brother.
You know, a lot of times network don't want to use two green people,
which basically somebody new.
And then they'll never tell you this even though it's your show.
They look at you like, man, is he going to be able to carry this show?
So it's a lot of little factors, but
I really fought for them because they were really good.
And Jess was just really, really, really...
I mean, we hired somebody else first.
She didn't have the best table read, so
you know, the network and...
I mean, I had to fire her. I felt terrible.
Oh, so she was hired at first, then you had to fire?
So Jess got hired and fired.
Not Jess. No, no, someone else. I somebody else, because they wouldn't let us get.
I had to pick between Jess and Jordan at first.
And I picked Jordan because I'm like, I need my little brother to at least match my little.
Because my brother character is really based on my little brother.
Gotcha.
But once, you know, once we got rid of Angel, who was an amazing actress. Jess, man, we got Jess.
And it was crazy because it was like a no,
but then all of a sudden it was a yes.
Angel who?
Hey, man, look, man.
You already said her name.
That's enough.
I can't give a fool name.
You didn't say her name.
No, I just said she's a dope actress.
What if they would have said,
we really love this whole premise,
but we wanted somebody else to play your role?
God dang.
Jesus Christ.
That's real, though. I mean, it actually happens more than you think.
But it doesn't
happen often with a story
so specific, which is a great thing about being a comedian.
It's like Seinfeld. Seinfeld wasn't, I don't think,
the best actor on their show,
but it was his show. And you want to fire him
because it's basically his story. So I think
I don't think they would have did that,
but I mean,
I don't have to worry about that.
I'm pretty good.
How do you get a light-skinned daddy
on the show, though?
Sinbad plays your daddy.
So, you know,
what's funny,
a comic from Chicago,
one of my homies,
tried to be funny with that.
He's like,
so who your mom going to be?
Jennifer Aniston?
And this is what,
black people piss me off
like we don't have that
in our families.
Like, my dad was light.
Right.
In real life?
My mom was chocolate, yeah.
Okay.
So I'm like, it happens.
But also, I wanted the funniest person we could think of.
I didn't even think about it as a, you know, race, that light-skinned.
Like, if I had a cast of just a dark-skinned daddy, like, who funnier than Sinbad?
Did he have to audition, or you just gave it to him?
We wanted to just give it to him, but they had us read him.
Damn, they're not playing.
They made Sinbad audition Sinbad.
God damn.
Yeah, man.
Twice.
Oh, my God.
They're like, real, why you telling them that?
Like, yeah, that's what happened.
He wasn't upset about that.
No, which I was surprised.
We felt, we was like mad.
Like, man, that's disrespectful.
That's crazy.
Like, I'll do it.
I'm like, all right.
And he was hysterical.
Like, the first chemistry we had, it was like, all right, it's Sinbad.
Oh, no, he loves Sinbad.
He comes up here all the time.
Yeah, he's a very, he's, you know what I like about him, man?
He's a legend, but he, like, has this chill about him, man.
Like, he doesn't think he's better than that.
He still think he's just on the ground like the rest of us.
He don't look at himself like that stature of him, which I think I was excited about
putting him on the show and reintroducing the world.
It's funny, I didn't watch the Breakfast Club interview he did until after we was like,
we want to send back.
And him saying that he wanted to get back on television.
And he's killing it.
It's like crazy hysterical.
And you have Uncle Drew.
The movie is coming out next month.
Yes.
I'm excited about Uncle Drew, man.
My son plays little me in it, which is crazy.
Nothing wrong with some nepotism.
Keep it in the family.
But he's good.
They kept picking these little kids that didn't look like me and I was like, no.
I literally have a kid that look exactly
like me.
Although, you don't look like Sinbad.
Come on, y'all.
You don't look like Sinbad.
That is a true statement.
Look, the only difference is that he got red hair.
No, man.
He's 6'5".
Come on. Michael Jordan is way taller got red hair. No, man. He's 6'5". Stop it. 6'7".
Come on. Michael Jordan is
way taller than his dad.
That's all I'm saying. Most of these NBA
players are like way taller. Their families are like
midgets. They're the same complexion though.
They are the same complexion.
I can't believe y'all being this racist.
Y'all very, very racist. I went for the funniest
dude.
The funniest dude alive is Sinbad to me.
Now, tell me about Uncle Drew.
Tell me about Uncle Drew.
What's Uncle Drew?
Uncle Drew is based off Kyrie's Pepsi commercials.
And the movie's based around my character, really,
who, you know, has to find Uncle Drew to help him put together a team
because I lost my team to my rival, which played by Nick Crow.
And all the silliness happens from there.
That's the way they explain it.
So Kyrie's playing Uncle Drew?
He's playing Uncle Drew.
Kyrie's in it, Chris Webber, Shaq, Reggie Miller, Lisa Leslie, Nate Robinson.
All right, we got more with Lil Rel when we come back.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Lil Rel is in the building.
Now, a couple years ago when you was here, I told women
they should trap you. A couple years ago?
You've been saying it the more often
than you should. Why is he trying to jinx
you like that? I don't need that, man.
Like women take my advice?
I mean, I wouldn't say that.
I mean... Uh-oh.
Nah, nah, nah. Your body language is nervous.
Nah, nah, nah. They don't want to take
your advice. Congratulations.
Hey!
I don't think y'all realize how much money Rel getting, man.
Come on, man.
Rel had a get out, back in check.
Back in now.
Hey, man.
I'm just out here working like everybody else, man.
Movies.
How many movies you got coming up, Rel?
I got a jogger suit on, guys.
Come on, man.
One chain.
Look how thin this chain is.
Because I can take care of my kids.
So, Rel, you got a baby on the way?
I got a one-year-old, and he's dope.
Oh, you got a one-year-old?
Little Harlem, yeah.
Man, shout out to that young lady, man.
Why shout out to her?
Because that sounds like she got you a year ago, Ralph.
You still with her?
I was never with her.
Oh, man.
So somebody did say, okay.
No, it wasn't like that.
Well, congratulations.
It happens.
Her baby's named Harlem? It's Harlem. That's where she's from. No, it wasn't like that. It just, you know. Well, congratulations. It happens. Her baby's name Harlem?
It's Harlem.
That's where she from?
No, which is interesting.
Did you have any input in the baby's name?
No, not at all.
It was, you know, we cool now.
So hold on.
So it was one of those situations you didn't know it was yours or something?
It's a long story, man.
And, like, it's one of those things Where like So Cause I watch people like
Spill all this stuff
Like I do everything
Through the craft
So
This next special
Gonna be lit
Bro you got to start
Wearing condoms man
Bro I'm okay man
I'm okay
I'm doing okay
I got a one year old man
Like
So you started
Wearing condoms since then
Look Charlamagne
Look brother
Look I don't know
What you do with your
You know what I mean
Like
I don't know What you do with your s***. You know what I mean? Oh, man.
I don't know what you do.
What you got to bring my...
I'm okay.
Jesus Christ, man.
Well, shout out to Lil' Harlem, man.
I heard there's a Get Out 2 coming.
Is that true?
How?
At first, well,
at first I was disputing it,
and then after just some of the Kanye stuff,
it just kept...
Not in the back.
Kanye's trying to get out too.
Lil Rel just said that.
No, no, I did not say that.
But it made you think about how many different ways people need to get out.
Right.
And I think if you make it have nothing to do with this first one,
none of the same characters, just a whole nother get out situation.
Oh, that'd be dope.
But that's what I thought.
I don't know what Jordan would do, but I thought about that.
Like, yo, there's so many different get-out situations.
Do you feel indebted to Jordan in some way?
Yeah, no.
I think it's one of those things where all of us
kind of helped each other in a way,
because it wasn't a huge budget,
so most people would be like,
man, I ain't doing this movie for this.
Right.
But you got backhand, though.
Look, man, everybody doing all that, I guess.
Why you counting this money over there?
You doing rich. No way, homie. You got bookshand, though. Look, man. Everybody doing all right, I guess. Why you counting this money over there? You doing rich.
No way, homie.
You got books and stuff.
You got movies.
You got TV shows.
All right, now do that.
You said you don't feel indulged.
If y'all helped each other.
Yeah, I think.
But I'll do.
I mean, honestly, though, whatever he wants me to do as far as movies and stuff, man,
I'll do whatever.
He's brilliant to me.
So, I mean, only thing I didn't do, he had a great TV show idea
and I didn't do it just because I wanted
to do my show first. Now you're going to be at Caroline's
all weekend long, right? I'm at Caroline's this weekend
man, so it's going to be so much fun.
I love performing in New York City and Caroline's
one of my favorite clubs and as a comedian
that's the club
when she started headlining. You're right about Caroline
because I saw, I was
at Kev's show.
This had to be 12, 13 years ago
when he sold out Caroline's
like 10 different dates.
And that's when Kev Hart just...
I remember I was there too
and little Duvall was backstage.
Yes.
Kevin says something.
I remember.
Let me tell the story.
So Duvall and Kevin was arguing
about who's the biggest comedian.
And Kev was like, I mean, come on, I'm bigger than you.
It's not even close, whatever.
And Duvall's like, I got more money than you.
And Kev's like, no, I don't think you got more money than me.
And then Kev goes, look, they're about to call my name.
And then everybody in this room is going to scream real loud.
I'm not going to be able to hear you no more.
So I'm about to be out.
As soon as he said that, Kevin Hart!
Woo!
Wow.
And he just walked off.
And I was like, damn.
Was that a real conversation?
Or was they jokingly?
Or was it? Because Kev is competitive. Yeah, yeah And I was like, dang. Was that a real conversation or was they jokingly, or was it?
Because Kev is competitive.
Yeah, yeah. They always been like that.
They would stand by each other and see who's the tallest.
Right.
But see what I mean?
You know what's funny, though?
But that's so funny because even if you're talking about my circle of friends,
I think that's the difference between that group and our group.
We just be chilling.
We don't hurt each other's feelings.
Well, we're mean, but not like, maybe like career mean.
You ain't doing nothing.
I got more money.
I'll do your special.
Because they be saying things that are true.
It's just mean.
Why y'all bring your careers into this?
You know what I mean?
Why y'all going at each other like this?
Oh, yeah.
You next.
Because you the one.
You the guy that's about to be that guy.
You ain't going to see me on the Henness the Hennessy Tour of Comedy Kings or something.
I'm not doing nothing.
I'm doing my show.
In about another six months,
you're going to be the comedian,
that artist,
other comedians are going to be doing interviews,
and say,
oh, Lil Rel ain't funny,
for no reason.
I know,
and I'm just like,
yo,
just watch my show.
I respect the fact you let Kev,
EP your special though,
because a lot of comedians don't even want to do that. Like, I don't want Kev to do my special. Well, just watch my show. I respect the fact you let Kev EP your special, though. Because a lot of comedians don't even want to do that.
Like, I don't want Kev to do my special.
Well, just think about it.
I did that.
I felt like I wanted to be introduced by whoever was, you know, on that throne.
Hannibal Buress is another one of your friends.
Yeah.
From Chicago.
That's one of my closest friends, man.
I have a theory.
Because we all know Hannibal Buress killed Bill Cosby's career.
He did?
You don't think so? Nah.
I always laugh at this, because, not
laugh, but like, Bill Cosby's a black
man, and black dudes, when we come,
I don't even know, I didn't know date
rate drugs existed until I watched
an episode like A Say About a Bill or something like that.
Oh, date rate drugs. It wasn't in our
community like that. I think when you learn to do
stuff like that, you learn it from some powerful
white people. And
Bill, at some point, probably thought he was just as
powerful. So you're saying
Bill pissed off the wrong white person?
Person? Nah. Persons?
People? I mean, yes and no.
At the end of the day, you still gotta pay for
whatever. Like, you could tell
this is one of the most confident dudes I've ever seen.
Like, when he's walking out of court doing all that stuff with the neck
and... Bill is okay. I think we're all, like, sad for Like, when he's walking out of court doing all that stuff with the neck and...
Bill is okay.
I think we're all, like, sad for him, but he's, like, getting ready to go to jail.
He's really, like, getting himself prepared for it.
He's going to die first.
I don't believe so.
I don't think he's going to be in court.
If he was going to die, I think he would have died already.
I said three, four years ago he should have clocked up.
We'll see, man.
That's a shame what Hannibal did to Cosby, man.
Why do you keep blaming Hannibal?
Hannibal did not do anything to Cosby.
All he did was repeat a fact.
Yeah, it's a shame what Cosby did to himself,
but it's a shame Hannibal had to bring him back up to this era.
Y'all get Hannibal way too much credit for that.
Some of those women think Hannibal.
I feel like Hannibal killed Bill Cosby on behalf of the Illuminati.
I don't think the Illuminati exists.
I feel like the Illuminati was about to bless Hannibal
with this very fruitful career,
but what I think happened was
they had Joe's picture and Hannibal's picture on a desk, and they mixed the pictures up, and the Illuminati was about to bless Hannibal with this very fruitful career, but what I think happened was they had Joe's picture and Hannibal's picture on a desk
and they mixed the pictures up
and Illuminati...
It was like a bad YouTube video.
I think the Illuminati got your picture
and passed it through.
You really believe in Illuminati? Yes.
I think the NRA is Illuminati.
That's who Illuminati is.
They're the most powerful people.
This weekend he's going to be at Caroline's.
Well, well, well.
You want to see Lil Rel on Caroline's this weekend,
and we appreciate you for doing this.
How many shows you got?
I got two shows on Friday, two shows on Saturday,
and one show on Sunday.
Okay, two shows tonight, two shows tomorrow,
two shows Sunday.
That's right.
It's going to be great.
Get your tickets if it's not sold out.
And Lil Rel, it's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Ooh.
The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Boom. The Breakfast Club.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
On The Breakfast Club.
So it looks like Spotify is moving back on their decision.
Remember, they took off music by R. Kelly, XXXTentacion off of their playlist.
Well, now they are saying they will eventually restore songs by XXXTentacion to the playlist.
That's because both the music industry and civil rights activists are trying to see what is the best course of action.
Even some Spotify executives didn't agree with some of those decisions.
Because there's a slippery slope.
Like if you have a hate policy and a hate content policy, you know how much music you're going to have to remove? And also, some people
haven't even been charged with crime, so how do you
determine when to get the music up?
So it's where and
how do you draw the line, and that's what the issue
is. Sadly, R. Kelly has never been
charged with a crime.
But then it makes it difficult because it's not an across-the-board
thing because there's a lot of people who have been
accused of something, their music is still up.
That's true, too. So how do you determine that all right andrea constant who was the first
woman to accuse bill cosby of sexual assault in court is now going to be sitting down to do her
first interview in decades okay she is doing her interview with dateline and she hasn't been able
to discuss that case because of ongoing legal action for the past 13 years so that interview
will air next week.
Should be interesting. And I'm definitely watching that. All right, Jaden Smith, he's going to be
using his clout now to talk about the environment. He was the co-host at the 2018 Environmental Media
Association's Impact Summit. And now he is planning to do a six part documentary series,
which is all going to be on YouTube. He said it's going to help more, especially very young people,
to educate themselves on what's going on.
Some people 12 to 18 years old might not necessarily be aware of what's happening.
So it's going to focus on problems and also solutions.
All right, Hulu is also doing an R. Kelly documentary.
We told you about the one that Lifetime is doing.
Well, Hulu is teaming up with BuzzFeed.
BuzzFeed is the one that broke all the news about R. Kelly,
where they sat down with the women in the alleged sex cult
and did some exclusive interviews.
Well, now they are doing a documentary on Hulu
that's going to feature interviews with key figures involved in his past,
including several survivors and the singer's associates as well.
A lot of R. Kelly documentaries happening.
I don't know why.
If they're not going to lock him up,
is that why they're doing all these documentaries?
Maybe that's why they're doing it.
They're trying to expose
exactly what's going on.
How much more
can you expose R. Kelly?
We saw the sex tape.
Like, we know he married
Aaliyah when she was 50.
Like, how much more
does he need to be exposed?
Yeah, listen, I don't know.
Last but not least,
Amber Rose.
She is clapping back
at everybody
about all the allegations
against her
and all the rumors
about her online.
I guess she's getting
a little bothered by them.
She posted, I'm just going to address every
rumor about me, not like I really give a F
to explain, but it gets really annoying.
She said, I've never said the girls in Philly are ugly.
I would never call anyone ugly.
When I said they weren't traditionally attractive,
I meant by society's BS
standards of European beauty.
She also said she went to an all-black
school and grew up in an all-black neighborhood. I did not have
the same struggles as the brown-skinned girls,
so I refused to act like I did or do.
Maybe if I went to an all-white school,
then she would have been the black
girl, but she didn't. She also said
that she is still great friends with her
son's father, with Wiz, and they do not have a
romantic relationship. They're not trying
to. And she said she's never cheated on any
of her exes.
Never.
And that's because there's allegations that she cheated on 21 Savage with one of his friends.
