Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Friday. Yes, it's Friday. I feel like I earned this Friday. I didn't feel like I earned last Friday because, you know, we only had a four-day work week. Right.

I earned this one, God. Hey, you and me both. I felt like, yeah, we worked our asses off and been working around the clock. And not only that, it's spring cleaning in the crib. So we've been trying to throw away and give away a lot of the stuff that we don't use. Old clothes, old sneakers, give it away. And some of the stuff that I have so much baby stuff in the crib because I got five kids, right? And instead of just, you know, getting rid of it, we put it in the basement like we're going to need it again.

You might. I got like five baby car seats. I thought you were trying to work on another one. Yeah, you've needed it four more times since the first one. I don't need four car seats, though. I got four baby car seats, so I got to give that to the Goodwill. You might have quadruplets. No, I got so much baby clothes that I just got to give to the Goodwill.

There's people that actually need it. People's houses burnt down. People can't afford it. So I'm like, I got all this stuff. Let me give it away and find somebody to give it to. So I've been doing that for the last couple of days, just packing things up and trying to figure out a place to give it to somebody. Well, the Grammys are on Sunday, so there's a lot of activities in New York City because

the Grammys are, it's the first time in New York in like 15 years or something like that. Right. And I was reading that it's way over budget just because it's in New York as far as the amount of money. Like everything else? Yeah, they've been spending. So I went to the Grammys gifting suite courtesy of Lash Ferry yesterday to do some, you know, journalism, some gifting.

You ain't do no journalism. You want to do some, you know, journalism, some gifting. You ain't do no journalism. You wanted some free stuff. No, it was pretty fun. I had a good time. And then they have this thing called Alpha Priority. It's a new company. So they drive you around.

They take you to the airport, walk you through security and all of that. So they actually let me use a sprinter yesterday. I went to the Essence Women in Music luncheon yesterday, which is really nice.

They honored June Ambrose, who is a celebrity stylist, but so much more if you follow June Ambrose. I love June Ambrose on Instagram. And Dia Sims, who's the president of Combs Enterprises. So they both got honored at the Essence Women in Music Luncheon. Then I went to a D'Ussé remix event, which 9th Wonder was hosting. Oh, you was out there. I did a lot yesterday.

I see. I'm losing my voice today. And then the Warner Music Party was yesterday. Cardi B performed at that. Yeah, it was out there. I did a lot yesterday. I see. I'm losing my voice today. And then the Warner Music Party was yesterday. Cardi B performed at that. Yeah, I was everywhere yesterday. I was going to go, but I was like, nah. Did you see any dirt? Was anybody having sex in the corner at any of these parties?

You know what? Any celebrity sightings? Any couples we might not know about? It's not really like that. Everything is very, like, conservative. Oh, sounds boring. Is a very conservative. Sounds boring. It's a better word. But no, it's nice. A lot of people are out celebrating their Grammy

nominations. It's a nice celebratory week of activity. So I was out and about. Speaking of Grammy nominations, Rhapsody will be joining us this morning. She's nominated for two bands. North Carolina. I've been trying to tell y'all about Rhapsody for the longest. I told y'all how dope her album was, Layla's Wisdom, and now it's nominated for two Grammys. North Carolina. I've been trying to tell y'all about Rhapsody for the longest.

I told y'all how dope her album was, Layla's Wisdom, and now it's nominated for Best Rap Album of the Year at the Grammys. It's not like we need the Grammys to validate the fact that the album is dope. I did sleep until you told me. I did sleep. I'm not going to lie. I wasn't like, oh, my gosh. But then when I heard it, I was like, she gets busy.

And she's a very dope human being. She gets busy. Migo's album dropped last night. Well, I should say this morning. I was listening to it this morning, actually. Did you know what? I heard like six joints. I heard three songs.

My drive to work is so short that anytime somebody's new album comes out, I get to work in 15 minutes. Oh, no. I get about six, seven songs. There's about 37 records on this album. 24 songs. Please, stop with these long albums. I heard about six, seven. I'm saying, listen, some of the best albums in the world are only nine songs.

You think Illmatic, you think Michael Jackson, Off the Wall. I don't need 37 records, man. It's 24 songs. Well, I don't need 24. It's a lot. It's a lot. I couldn't fit it in during my, pause, pause, pause, my way into work. I could do a Culture 3.

You know what I'm saying? Give me 12 songs, give me another 12 later on. You know what I mean? It's okay. Well, maybe they felt like they had all this great music. They? Give me 12 songs, give me another 12 later on. You know what I mean? It's okay. Well, maybe they felt like they had all this great music. They couldn't choose what songs were going to be on the album. So they said, you know what? We're going to give them a gift.

All right. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, let's talk about the execution of an Alabama inmate. They have actually decided to halt that, and we'll tell you why. All right. We'll get into all that when we come back.

Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, let's start off with the NBA. Now, the All-Star Game, of course, is being done a little different this year. What they're actually doing is they picked the two highest voters,

the people that get the highest votes, which was LeBron James and Stephon Curry, and they allow them to pick the players like Park style. So LeBron gets the first pick. Curry gets the second pick. LeBron third pick, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I was talking to somebody yesterday, and they said that Stephon Curry is Allen Iverson with two parents. What?

I'm serious. Because they were talking about the all-star thing. They were like, Stephon Curry is Allen Iverson with two parents. I don't even know what that means. I kind of get it. He said AI's parents are Allen Iverson with two parents. I don't even know what that means. I kind of get it. He's trying to say that AI's parents were both in his life?

Is that, I don't understand. No, he said Stephon Curry's, both of his parents were in his life. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. So if Allen Iverson

had that. No, he said Stephon Curry is, oh, yeah, he said, yeah, he said Steph Curry is Allen Iverson with two parents.

Yeah, that's what he said. Well, anyway, on LeBron's team, which I think is going to win, he picked Kevin Durant. Tough. Kyrie Irvin. Tough. Anthony Davis.

Tough. DeMarcus Cousins. Tough. He picked Porzingis. Tough. Russell Westbrook. Tough. He picked Kevin Love.

Kevin Love is tough, man. Yeah, no, he definitely is. But I know the team was beefing. So I think that's a strong squad. I really... Who's on Steph Curry's team? All right, on Curry's team, you have... It seems like LeBron got all the good players first.

All the good players. They let LeBron pick first? And they didn't go back and forth? They did. Steph got the Greek freak. Okay. He got... Tough.

Damar. Damar. Damar from Toronto?ak. Okay. He got... Tough. Damar. Damar. Damar from Toronto? Yeah. Okay. He got James Harden. Okay, tough. He got Klay Thompson.

Tough. Jimmy Butler. Tough. I'm trying to think. Damian Lillard. Tough. I'm going to be honest. Yeah, LeBron got the best power.

LeBron's going... LeBron's amazing. That's amazing. I mean, I like some of those picks Steph Curry got, but it sounds like LeBron got all the firepower. Absolutely. All of it. Now, where do you want to go first, Ian, from Page News? Let's talk about the Supreme Court.

They are halting the execution of an Alabama inmate, Vernon Madison, after attorneys argued that he's 67 years old, suffering from dementia, so he can't remember killing a police officer over 30 years ago. So they issued that stay on the same evening they were scheduled to give him the lethal injection in the prison. He was sentenced to death for the 1985 killing of Mobile Police Officer Julius Schultz. Schultz had responded to a call about a missing child made by Vernon Madison's then-girlfriend, and they said that he crept up and shot Schultz in the back of the head as he sat in his police car. Now, according to Madison's attorneys,

they're saying that strokes and dementia left him unable to remember the killing or understand the execution that was about to happen. So. What a very morbid way to start a Friday. Absolutely. We was talking about the all-star game and fun stuff. Jesus. What else you got, Yee?

Hey, come on. Come on. Don't leave us on that note, Yee. I'm sorry. Donald Trump dismissed these reports that he had ordered the firing of Special Counsel Robert Mueller as fake news. He's supposed to take the stand. As you know, Mueller's supposed to be investigating Donald Trump, possibly obstruction of justice

and campaign ties to the Russian election interference. Here is what Donald Trump had to say about taking the stand. Are you going to talk to Mueller? I'm looking forward to it, actually. I'd like to do it as soon as possible. Good luck, everybody. Subject to my lawyers and all of that, but I would love to do it. Did you do it under oath, Mr. President?

Did Hillary do it under oath? I have no idea. I'll give you an idea. She didn't do it under oath. But I would do it under oath. All right. There you go. Is that good news or no? it under us. All right. There you go. Is that good news or no?

No. No. All right. Well, that's front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now. Or if you feel blessed and you want to spread some positivity, phone lines are wide open.

And don't forget, Rhapsody will be joining us next hour. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this?

Heather. Hey, Heather, get it off your chest. Hey, I want to tell you why I'm mad this morning. Why are you mad? I don't understand. I want to know why when a man has a good woman and the man is at fault for something and you get into a fight all of a sudden now the woman is a hoe. That is very true. Like why can't

the man just stand up? Now it goes both ways. But in my situation why can't you just stand up for what you did wrong? Why do I have to turn out to be a hoe when I'm just a... Now why is he calling you a hoe now? Did you cheat or something? Did you do something that he know about? No, I didn't do anything to him.

It's just, I'm a good woman to him. I do everything for him, and you know, when you get caught in a lie or when you get caught in a lie or you see a text on his phone and then they lie about it... He got on the attack. Right. Now I'm doing something. Now I'm a hoe. You shouldn't have been going through my phone.

Well, listen, I'm going to just say this. A lot of times people try to throw the word hoe around like that's supposed to be the worst insult you can give to somebody when they can't think of anything else. No, you shouldn't have been going through my phone. That's all that was. I know I'm wrong. I was in the phone because I was in there sending a picture of my kids to my phone, which he told me I could see. And a text message came up while I was there. Well, first of all,

you and my side chick need to let me cheat in peace. I'm screaming on my side chick, too, for texting me while you was on my phone, even though she didn't know. Well, clearly God wanted you to see that. He did. He did. But, hey, just take responsibility when you get caught in a lie. What's the problem?

You got caught in a lie because you got caught. Let me tell you something, baby. Let me tell you something that you may not know. Can I tell you something? Oh, God, yes, please. Men are stupid. We are. We just dumb.

It's okay. You just got to be patient with our dumb ass. That's all. It goes both ways sometimes, but I appreciate it. Men are definitely dumb, mama. I'm sorry, though.

Try to enjoy the weekend anyway, though. You know it's Friday. It's all good. All right, mama. I see that. I don't like that. It's Friday.

It's all good. That means she's going to get some other pain. What would Rihanna do? I'm going to get this get back. God damn it. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're man or black. 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? Hi, good morning. This is Shakira.

Hey, Shakira, get it off your chest. I'm calling because these old men out here are so disgusting. Like, this one guy, he was, like, old enough to be my dad. And he, I told him that. Next, like, old enough to be my dad. And he, I told him that. Next morning, he left a note on my car, and it was so creepy and disgusting. What'd he say? It was like, I'm a very successful

businessman, and that old man could have been your blessing. His shoe down. Wait, wait, wait. How old is he? How old is old? He looked like he was, like, over 50 or something like that. How old is he? How old is old? He looked like he was like over 50 or something like that. How old are you? I'm 25.

So are you missing your blessing, boo? No. By not being with this old man? No. It turns out he was a landscaper at the hotel I was staying at. That's a lot of money. That's a lot of money. So it's not just about that.

She's not turned on. I can hear the Charleston in your voice, the 843. Yes. You know what I'm saying? I'm from UG. Oh, you're from UG? Salute to UG. My boy Wax got a chicken farm in UG. voice, the 843. Yes. You know what I'm saying? I'm from Hughie. Oh, you're from Hughie? Salute to Hughie. My boy Wax got a chicken farm in Hughie.

Oh, yeah? Yes. Listen, are you missing your blessing, boo? How much money this man making a week with this landscaping business, man? I didn't find that out. I thought it was, I think it's creepy when these old men try to talk to us young girls. That's all. How old is he now?

She said like 50. She said over 50. 50 ain't that old, man. Well, how old is she? How old is she? She said she's 25. Well said over 50. 50 ain't that old, man. Well, how old is she? How old is she? She said she's 25. Well, come on. That's old enough to be her dad.

You don't really got to do much but flirt with him to get a free lawnmower every now and then. Hey, if she's not into it. Just like you. I knew you said it before, Sean. You said, you mess with them old men, you get worms. You get worms? Goodbye, mom. You ain't going to get no worms, man.

Hello, who this? Hi.'t gonna get no worms, man. Hello, who's this? Hi. Hey, get it off your chest. I just want y'all to listen to The Breakfast Club every morning, and I love y'all. And I'm calling to tell y'all why I'm mad. I just recently found out my boyfriend was stealing money from me. What? How was he stealing money?

Oh, my God. Like, out your purse? This is so whack. Yeah, like, no. Like, taking my car. Like... And what was he buying? Let's just not say on the radio.

No, no, tell us. What was he buying? If you tell me he was buying drugs with your credit card, I'm going to die. No, no, he can't buy drugs. Was he buying a sex doll or some crazy sex toys? No, not a sex doll. He's not a weirdo like that. What was he buying?

He was not using it for illegal stuff like the money, so... He was doing buying escorts? No, no, no, no, no, no. How do you buy illegal stuff with a legal credit card? Yeah, how do you do that? What was he buying? You got to tell us. No, he was getting cash out.

Not like, you know. Oh, okay. And then buying drugs. Is he using a cellar? Is it weed or coke? It's not coke. Oh, my God. So the question is, what are you going to do now?

You're actually an accessory at this point. Yeah, you are. The obvious thing. I just have to. You're going to go snitch on him? I don't want to be an accessory. You're going to go tell on him? No, I'm not going to. I'm not going to go snitch on him. You need to. Yeah, you are. The obvious thing, I just had... You gonna go snitch on him? You gonna go tell on him? No, I'm not gonna...

I'm not gonna go snitch on him. You need to. You're an accessory. No, we're just gonna, you know, we're just not gonna deal with each other anymore. What drugs?

Was it heroin? What was it? No, it wasn't heroin. What was it? It was a drug that's mostly legal in the United States. Marijuana?

Why are you acting so shifty about it? Hey, write us a letter when you get your conspiracy charge, okay? My goodness. Have a good morning, mama. You too, thanks. All right. Get it off your chest.

800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent. You can hit us at any time. Nayee, we got rumors on the way? Yes, imagine as a job you were forced to clean up your boss's semen and use condoms. Whoa. I'll tell you who had that problem and what she's saying now. What if you're the assistant to a porn star?

Then that would make total sense. What if you're not? All right. When we come back, rumors on the way, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. EJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors.

Let's talk semen. What? It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. She's spilling the semen. Now, this sounds like the worst job ever. Harvey Weinstein used to make his personal assistant wipe down the furniture after he had sex

and pick up used syringes because he had to inject his penis with a Viagra type of drug. He had to inject his penis? Excuse me. What? I've never heard that one ever in my life. Pills. I've heard of a lot of different sexual enhancements. I've used a lot of them, but I've never heard of that one.

It's called caverject. Caverject. And it's shots for erectile dysfunction. So you put the shot directly into the penis. That was heroin. Another test that Sandy had to do was clean up the semen on the couch on a regular basis and get rid of the used condoms

and all of that. Terrible situation that you would have to do something like that. Technically, she was cleaning up the scene of some crime. Yeah. Technically. Yeah, I guess you could say that. So that is an 11-page lawsuit

with very sickening details about him rubbing his large belly against his assistant, groping her thighs and buttocks and demanding that she actually write out emails for him while he was naked. What does the article say what her pay was like?

Her benefits? It doesn't matter. I'm just trying to figure out what made that person stick around so long. That had to be a good paying job. I have no idea. I would love to know what the salary was for that. All right. Now, the Essence Music Festival, Janet Jackson is going to be performing.

Really? So is Mary J. Blige. They've announced these headliners for the festival. This all goes down in New Orleans, July 5th to the 8th. I've been the last couple of years and it's a lot of fun. Yeah, I've been going for years too. I love the Essence. And this one sounds like really, really great. Erykah Badu, Joe Scott,

Snoop Dogg, The Roots, Miguel, Fantasia, Escape, Her, Daniel Caesar, Ro James, Division, 112, Kevin Ross, Marsha Ambrosius, and Teddy Riley's New Jack Swing Experience featuring Rex and Effect, Blackstreet and Guy. Don't do me like that.

I'll be there this year. That's your uncle type of vibe right there, kid. That's your uncle Charlotte type of vibe right there. The New Jack Swing Experience. You know I love me some New Jack Swing, okay? God bless Uptown Records. Erykah Badu, Marsha Ambrosius, Jill Scott. That's my type of vibe.

Mary J. Blige. Skate, Miguel, Fantasia, Division. That's my type of vibe right there. All right, now they're also, for the first time ever at the Essence Festival, are going to do a DJ curated experience. And it's going to be set by Idris Elba and MC Light and more. When is that? July 5th to the 8th

in New Orleans. It's always the 4th of July. It's always the week that we're off. Off, yeah. Always head out there for that. As well, now in addition,

they're also going to do a podcast. The Reeds, Kid Fury, and Crystal are going to be hosting interactive music experiences. Drop one of Clues Bomb for Kid Fury and Crystal.

The Reeds, one of my favorite podcasts. Crystal c here and Crystal. My favorite podcast. Crystal cusses me out every few months. We got offered to do a podcast with Casey Crew down there, I think, for this year, too. That's why y'all ain't do it. We'll be down there. State Farm is a big sponsor, and I did my State Farm podcast

there, Colorful Lives. Whoever put that together for Essence this year did a great job. It's dope every year. You're showing me that you're really in tune with what's going on in the culture. Last year, they did No Limit, the whole Master P. They did Belle Biv DeVoe. That's your uncle?

That's all your uncle's stuff. You've never been to the Essence Festival? Yes, but I went when I was in Houston. And when I was going, it was, like, real old. Oh, yeah, no, it's not like that anymore. It's a nice variety of... But maybe it makes more sense now because we old. So they dear. No, it's not like that anymore. It's a nice variety. But maybe it makes more sense now because we old. So they're bringing people from our generation.

Maybe that's what it is. No, but they bring younger talent in there as well, too. So it's like... I ain't had no younger talent just now. I heard my generation. Well, Miguel's going to be there. Miguel. And her and Daniel Caesar.

All right. And Ro James and Division. I think they had Remy last year. I like Miguel. They had a couple of... And I got to tell you that Kendrick is going to be opening up the Grammy Awards with U2 and Dave Chappelle. So that should be exciting this Sunday. So congratulations to them.

I know his performance is going to be incredible. I have no idea what's going to happen, but he's going to actually... We don't know if he's going to be doing stand-up material or a skit or what's going to happen, but we do know he's opening it up as well. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right, now, when we come back, we're going to kick it with Rhapsody. She's nominated for two Grammys this weekend, so we'll talk to her. We'll see how it feels and all that other good stuff.

I told you her album was amazing. Y'all ain't listening to your Uncle Charlotte. We'll talk about that as well, so keep it locked. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee We'll talk about that as well. So don't keep it locked. 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.

Aw, man. The Grammy-nominated Rapsy! I'm back. I'm back on a new level. Get that new level back. How are you feeling? Man, I'm good.

Like, I wake up every day like the sun is shining every day. Word. Birds chirping. It's good. I feel good. Like, I wake up every day like the sun is shining every day. Word. Birds chirping. It's good. I feel good because I've been telling everybody how dope Layla's Wisdom is, one of my top two favorite projects of 2017. He's been screaming from the mountaintops.

Yo, Instagram posts and tweets, you and Joe. Yelling. I'm like, yo, that's good. It's good music, though. I appreciate that, man. But for whatever reason, people didn't start recognizing that fact until you got nominated for a Grammy. And that's what happened.

The same thing happened when I got on the Kendrick album. Like, people need validation sometimes. So, you know, I got mad tweets. Like, I'm on Twitter and it's like, I can't believe I've been sleeping so long. You know, I just, I got to laugh at it. I'm like, come on, man. Like, you know what it is. People don't want to be left out.

But it's cool. Like, just for them to go back and listen. Were you surprised Sassy was nominated of all the songs on the album? Yeah, I was surprised by that one. By that one? Yeah. Me too. I'm not even going to front. I'm like, what? But do you submit a song to be? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Before the album came out, we had to pick which one we wanted to submit. I originally wanted to do Power, but it wasn't an official single. Oh. Or whatever. So it has to be a single. It has to be an official.

Right, right. Really? So we thought Sassy. I didn't know how it was going to go, but it was like, all right, let's do Sassy. That's interesting, because I was wondering, I was like, why not Power, Black and Ugly? I was thinking the same thing.

Yeah, I guess it's because it's got to be a single. It has to be an official single. No, people always act like, oh, why are the Grammys important? They're not important. But you can see why it's important, because got to be a single. It has to be an official single. No, people always act like, oh, why are the Grammys important? They're not important. But you can see why it's important because it actually brings a lot more attention to the artist. And it makes people go back and look at your whole catalog. Right.

Because I'm sure now after this happened, people have been going back. And you put out so much work over the past 10 years that people might not have known about. But now it's like everybody's going back and revisiting. Right. You know, the Grammys, that's as high as you can go as far as acknowledgement and music. So when you're on that level and then you have a big night like Sunday, it's televised, everybody's watching. People have regular lives, too, I've learned. They always don't have time to go and discover music.

There's a million rappers that come out with a million new albums every day. So for them to skim through and it's like this is is the best of the best, it's really a good opportunity. So, you know, man, I'm excited. Do you feel like Grammy validation is what you need? Or do you even care about it? I'm not going to say it's not what I need, but it feels good to be acknowledged at that height.

If I didn't get nominated, you know, it wouldn't be a... You know, you just keep on going, and the people that you connect with, you connect with. Even growing up, like, to to be honest i didn't really get into the grammys until i got older like i watched when lauren won but i really didn't think of it as a thing until i probably went with kendrick to pimp because to me growing up the highest acknowledgement for me was ncaa soul train awards bet awards i was on some really black shows. So, you know, I really wasn't as knowledgeable about the Grammys as I have been these last few years.

And that's what bothers me, though, because all last year, when I'm saying Rhapsody's album is one of the best albums, people are like, Rhapsody? Really? Now it's like, yeah, Rhapsody! They had no idea. They didn't know. Why the white man gotta wait and tell you something good before you say it's good? I would say it was the white man, but it's people like you and former people that I heard this new project.

I mean, Kendrick been new. Kendrick definitely new. Yeah, and I think even just being the only guest star on his album, you know, when he put it out, people were like, okay. It's just a, I guess it was a process. But, you know, I always say, like I say, success doesn't happen overnight. And you've been going at it for so long because I remember 9th Wonder always championing you back in the day. Always fighting for me. Always fighting for me

some day. How does this change your life now? Now do you charge more because now you're Grammy nominated. You add that to the name. That got to be a couple

more coins now. You got to charge more for the shows and everything. You got to, you know. When we do features you be like, you know, I'm not Grammy nominated. That's one thing

we laughed about when the day we got nominated. It was like, oh, that price going up. So, no. But you worked hard. You earned that. You earned that. Like, you know, I went a lot of days not eating and giving away free albums after free albums. So, you know, you get what you're supposed to get.

Did you get a call from Jay like, yo, congrats? I got an email. I ain't got that. I ain't got that number Jay like, yo, congrats. I got an email. I ain't got that number yet. We ain't there yet. What's the email say? Just congrats? Yeah,

congrats. This is what it's for. You know, keep going. Did you hit him back like, yes, thank you,

but I want to beat you? Because y'all in the same category, best rapper. We are. We are. No, I ain't go that cocky yet.

It's not time. It's not time. You said yet. I mean, he's dissing away. Did he ever hit, of course he heard the album, but did he say anything about it? It's not time. It's not time. He said, yeah. I mean, he's dissing away. Did he ever hear, of course he heard the album, but did he say anything about it? It's funny. The very first time I sent it, it was probably like maybe a month before it came out.

I sent him an email, download link. And to this day, I didn't know if he listened or not. You know, I'm like, maybe he's busy, maybe he downloaded it. That was like July. The email he congratulated me on the Gram grammys for was a reply from that email i'm like at least he got the email so um yeah he listened to it though you know uh when i saw him you know he told me how much he loved it uh he was proud of what we were doing so what do you do now for new music? How do you set your sight to say, okay, I want to beat this project? Or do you even think that way?

I don't think that way. Early I did, but I think that's when you overthink it. And I think the best thing you could do is, you know, just make honest music. You know, whatever your vibe is, whatever sound you're going for, you just got to keep them blinders on and focus on your lane. Be inspired. Don't get me wrong. Be inspired.

But, yeah, it's always a personal challenge for me. What's your inspiration there? I don't know. Just to continue making dope music like that touches people like it touched him. Like, that's always been my inspiration. Like, when I can talk to people and they're like, no, for real, outside of me liking you or you being my friend. Like i'm riding in the car my friends and they playing the music i'm just like don't do that be like no but i really want to listen to this now yeah that's

i think that's always the inspiration for me um yeah and on just on a rapper thing like when when you could when you put out something other rappers hit you like that's a that's just a personal thing for me it's like all right you know a for me. Probably a lot of hitting the view behind the scenes though. It's not a lot of public recognition of how dope Rhapsody is from her peers. Kendrick will do it. Big Crit has always done it. I've seen Cardi do it. I've seen Remy do it.

Remy. I talked to Remy for the first time last night on DM. Really? Yeah, that was dope. So yeah, that's not a rapper thing. It's so competitive. I ain't going to let the people know. But when we see each other... Now CNN's doing this big piece on women in hip-hop

that they want to put out around the Grammys talking about how important this year is for women. And in particular, Dina was talking about you because she absolutely loves Rhapsody. So throughout the interview, I guess that's kind of part of what inspired her to do this whole piece. And she was talking about Cardi B being nominated and Rhapsody being nominated and how it's great that we have this versatility amongst women in hip hop now. But also how important it is to not just be compared to other women, but be on the same level as the men in general. Because I think a lot of times we tend to say best female and her against her.

But really, you're against everybody. I'm competing with everybody. J2. I love them. Rapsody, Washington, all in Negroes. I'm telling you. Steel sharp and steel. That's how I've always approached it.

I want to compete with the best. That's how I get better. If I'm not trying to compete with the best, what am I doing it for? Because I want to be with the best. That's how I get better. If I'm not, you know, trying to compete with the best, it's kind of like, what am I doing it for? Because I want to be known as one of the greatest ever. So in order to do that, you've got to compete. It's Miyagi versus Danielson. You know, you've got to, Miyagi's got to test you,

see what you learn. So, yeah, but Billboard just put out an article, too, talking about me and Cardi and how we are polar opposites. And it's crazy, a lot of time with females it can only be one and it feels like some people like, you know, I get it. I could put out a post about Cardi and in my

comments my fans would be like, she's whatever, she's whatever. She's not supposed to be me. You know, there's room for us all. I don't want to, I wouldn't want to hear me 24 hours a day, you know. Sometimes you want to go turn up, and if I'm turning up, I'm listening to Cardi B. So I think there's a place for all music.

There's a time for it. We need variety. We need balance. They always act like it can only be one, though. Right. No. People always act like it's her against her. Who's going to be the next?

They don't do that to the men. They're not like they can only be one. You can like a variety of men, but they act like for women. Yeah. Man, you the devil if you do this. Or you a ho-tep if you this. Stop it, bruh. You can like it all.

There's room for it all. All right, we got more with Rhapsody when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Now we got Rhapsody in the building. She's nominated for two Grammys. We're proud of her. Charlamagne. I just think you're one of the dopest rappers out there. I caught so much flack on the dope trash year we did for Revolt. Yeah, I saw.

Because I was just like, yo, Rhapsody should be mentioned with the Kendricks and the Coles and the Drake. I said, yo, actually, I think she better than Cole. That's how you felt. Yeah. And I don't know if it was a North Carolina comparison or what, but people were very upset at me for saying that one. Hey, I don't know why they mad. Why haven't y'all collaborated? You and Cole.

I'm not for sure, man. I reached out early in my career a couple of times. It just never happened. The last time I think I talked to him about collaborating, it might have been timing. He might have been having a baby at the time. I really can't remember, but it just didn't work out.

We are not as close as me and Kendrick are, but respect them the same. It just makes so much sense. Both North Carolina, both lyricists, both on Roc Nation. Cole don't do a lot of features anyway. You know, so I just think that's a thing with him. He got it. If he does it, he has to

really feel it. I know he really does it for his artist, so it's all good. You don't take things personally. Some people do. Some people be like, oh, I asked you six years ago for this and you ain't do it. Yeah, no, because I do that myself sometimes. It's not a curve so much, but people will hit me, and I want to do it, and I just get so backed up, or it might not be a good look, you know,

for whatever reason. That's just how it happens. And my team, they have to pull me back because I'm the type of person, like, if you ask me, I love rapping. I do it all. Right. It's like, yo, we got to, you know, it's like, you know, when you come out with an exclusive shoe, if you oversaturate it. Right.

It takes some weight off. You got exclusive shoe. Yeah, you guys got to be exclusivity to it. Gotcha. It make people want it more. How did you react to the Grammy nomination? Where were you? Who told you?

I was in L.A., second day of tour. It was 5.30 in the morning. I'll never forget it. And I sleep late, so I heard my phone going off. And 9th was the first text I saw. It said, congratulations, two-time Grammy nominated. Because it's 5.30 there, but it's 8.39, you know, where he's at. So I sat up, man. I just sat up and I thought it's 8.39, you know, where he's at. So I sat up, man.

I just sat up and I thought about it for a minute, you know. I was good. I took my first phone call from Law at Roc Nation. And he started talking that talk. And them tears started coming. I ain't taking it. I said, I'm not taking no more calls today because I think it hit me like I just saw my whole journey flash through my eyes. I didn't see it

coming like at all like so were you expecting it at all or was it no it wasn't even in thought I mean we submitted but you know I knew my record was to me at first I was like it's gonna be a slow burn I don't have

a big single you know I don't have no big videos I just have a dope album. Some dope music. And the way I looked at the Grammys at that time, I felt like a lot of the artists get nominated off popularity. And recognition

is not always just about the music. If you know somebody coming out like a Jay or Beyonce, automatically I'm thinking they're automatic bids for grammy just because of who they are you know um let's say like the what is american music awards eminem won an award before the album you know what i'm saying like that don't even make sense to me and that's eminem he's a legend he's great but we're talking about this year yeah i'm like the album's not out yet. Like, are we giving Lifetime Achievement Awards?

Are we giving awards for music? And I think he even said it like, I don't know how I won this. So it's like, let's make it about the music. Let's make the even the playing field even. And once it's even, boy, I think I think it only helps the culture. Like, if someone like me can compete at the level with a Kendrick and a Jay that makes everybody like yo it's not just about my name now I got a really going and make some dope so across the board so that's that's what I'm excited that's why I think you're gonna win because somebody actually listened like

somebody had to actually listen to this album and be like yo this is this should be nominated the best rap album category it's crazy do you think region is one of the reasons it took you so long to get to where you are? Yeah. I'd say that has something to do with it. People aren't looking at people from North Carolina that have a lot of talent, like, you know, like an L.A. or New York. It's just different.

Like, I didn't grow up walking out and seeing people doing videos. I don't know how to move in the industry. It's just something we all had to figure out on our own. I think it had a play in it. I remember one time, somebody was like, what a rapper from North Carolina got to talk about. They put hip-hop in this box where it's all about the struggle. You got to grow up in the hood in Brooklyn or in L.A. in Compton

ducking bullets to make hip-hop. Have you seen Rural America? My brother, get out of that box you in. It in L.A. in Compton, you know, ducking bullets to make hip-hop. Have you seen Rural America? My brother, like, get out that box you in. It's crazy. We talk about, like, you got some people that ain't never been to another borough. Like, that is crazy to me. I went to New Orleans with the homie Don Flamingo on tour,

and he was telling me where he grew up. He's like, we were crossing a bridge. Like, it was maybe, like, four miles. He's like, a lot of people ain't even been over this bridge. I was like, how? Like, you can see it. It's right here. So it just tells you a fishbowl that a lot of people

are in. So, you know. I heard you and Remy might be getting in the studio soon. Yeah, she hit me last night. We talked about that. I told her I wanted

to come hear the album, too. So, you know, I'm excited. So you gonna jump on the album? Are y'all gonna do something new I have no idea but I told her like However I can support just hit me Cause we all wanna see each other win And you know we can do way more together Than we can do apart

I was gonna say I was re-listening to the album And I realized you referenced Jay Electronica Oh yeah When Jay gave me the chain You gave it back Why did you give it back? Did you feel like you didn't deserve it? Or he was...

She's not 5%. That's why I gave it. I got flack for that, too. Yeah. Yeah, I knew what the chain was. Explain the story, because some people don't. Okay, so we were in Miami for Dilla Weekend. And I'm on stage.

And Jay comes on stage. And, you know, he makes an announcement. One of the best female rappers of all time, whatever. This is before I signed. He puts a Roc Nation hat on me and he takes his chain off and puts it around my neck. It was like my chaining day. My dumb ass thought it was a Roc Nation chain. I don't know why I'm just realizing it was a Poppin' chain.

It was Jay's chain. The 7th. I knew whose chain it was and it got past him, but I knew what it meant. In that moment, I'm like, ooh, I'm not supposed

to be wearing this but out of respect for Jay and what he just did, I'm going to finish my song and when I get off stage, I'm going to get his back. And two, I figured he was drunk.

He didn't mean it really. Jay's definitely drunk. I've been there for those. Jay on one, he in the moment, he don't really want to give me, he going to wake up and I'm going to be like, he going to be like, where my chain?

No, he probably would have been okay with it, though. But no. It kind of was a foreshadowing, though, in a way, because then you end up crazy. Yeah, until somebody asks you what today's mathematics is. That's what I'm saying, though. I don't even think I got to the bottom step. I was like, here's your chain, man. What did he say when he tried to give it back, though?

Man, his manager took it. He was like, I got it, I got it. Like, thank, his manager took it. He was like, I got it. I got it. Like, thank you. I got it. I was like, no problem. It was crazy. Like, we got some calls about that.

Like, yo, what she doing wearing a chain? I'm just like, wow, y'all really wilding right now. But when it was crazy, it was women calling about it. But all the men, you know, that know the mathematics, they was like, oh, you good. I thought that was so trippy, they was like, oh, you good. I thought that was so trippy. I was like, wow, like the dudes, they got my back with the women coming for my neck. It's like

it ain't even that deep. I saw some women get mad at you because you said you have more male fans than female fans. It was mind-blowing to me. A fan hit me. A guy and a girl were having a debate. And so I saw it, and I'm just like,

I'm not going to leave my brother out there hanging. I'm just like, no, he's right. Like, 70%, 80% of my fan base is men, you know? Because I think it was about black women supporting me or whatever. I'm just like, you know, it ain't no knock. That's just a fact. Right, right, right. You can get those numbers based off of streaming. No, like, you can tell.

It's real analytics. Right. Even the documentary I just put out on Tidal, Where Flowers Bloom, I got the analytics back for that. Eighty-three percent of the viewers were men. And, you know, and it just made me think, and I talk about it all the time, like, there's a false narrative. Men get a bad rap when it comes to women in hip-hop, you know. And that's not my story. Like, you know, men don't.

I'm fully clothed. Like a lot of my shows ain't nothing but men there just for me. So it's just like men aren't really the problem all the time with sexualization and hip hop of women. Sometimes it's women supporting that. And that's cool. That's what you like. But, you know, I just had to. I can't let the men always get beat up for that.

I just think it's a false narrative and it's not a full truth. All right, we got more with Rhapsody when we come back. That was sassy. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, We Are The Breakfast Club. Now, that joint was nominated for a Grammy. Rhapsody's here. Now, Charlamagne?

I hear some women artists even feel like, oh, I got to be sexy. You can't get in the game unless you're pretty. I got to do that. I'm like, no, that's not the case all the time like no not at all like talent at the end of the day men and women are like just they like dope music sometimes too so you've never had an executive try to tell you oh well you know you should do this or earlier on like before I got with 9th um I had a manager that I was trying to get to work with me. And I walked in. I can't remember. I might have told the story.

But I was in my foot action clothes. Like khakis, black, you know, shirt. And before he even said hey, how you doing? How was your day? He looked me up and down. He was like, oh, we can do something with you. Put you in a skirt, heels. I'm out. Off gate. So I've had that experience. But I'm out, holler. Like, off gate.

So I've had that experience, but I've been protected a lot with 9th and Guru, so. Why were you dressed like you was at Foot Action? Because you was coming from work? Yeah. Okay.

I was straight. I was coming from Foot Action, you know. I saw you tell Billboard that Sassy was inspired by Maya Angelou's Still I Rise. Yeah, the hook, the hook.

That's one of my favorite poems of hers. Like, it's that line, the diamonds, I walk like I Rise. Yeah, the hook. The hook. That's one of my favorite poems of hers. It's that line, the diamonds, I walk like I got oil wells in my thighs. I was like, yo, that's so ill. I'm about to freak that. So, yeah, man. Before I was a rhymer, I did poetry.

You know, I did spoken word. I watched Deaf Poetry Jam. I love watching Mos Def. So that was kind of my thing. So I used to go to Barnes and Noble and just pick up books I took a poetry class in college you know so it just yeah Maya Angelou is a big inspiration on a writing tip you got a line on black and ugly and I think it's one of the most creative ways to say you got rid of your demons you say confidence of a porn star the day I cut the horns off took all my demons threw him downhill in a buggy then I stood on top of the hill and did the Millie rock

and Dougie screaming only God can judge me what did those bars symbolize man man those are some of my favorite favorite bars like that's as some real personal just just struggles man um with image you know and and how much that affected me and it just wasn't so much the music part of it and the industry you know like i say like you got to be a certain size um you got to be a certain complexion your tits got to be a you know a d cup or something i got this little bitty B cup. The other day, somebody was like, they told me, I was like, yo, I'm a guy, and I told my homeboy, like, yo, check out Rapson, and his reply was,

what's she look like? And I was like, what the fuck? I'm just like, you know, that was a real struggle for me. But two, like, I grew up small town, population 2,000. Snow Hill. Yeah, homecoming, prom queen, popular. Never that it got to my head, but, you know know then i went to raleigh which is bigger and it's just like you're not the popular kid no more and it didn't affect me but it's just like yo there are a lot of beautiful women out here like you ain't the only

one then i then i got diagnosed with graves disease so my eyes bulged and i just had self-confidence issues i looked at myself in a really negative way I didn't like any pictures you know my my confidence on my looks it went down and the music industry did not help it any but it was just one day you know I just had a 360 and I can't remember exactly what moment that was but it's just like yo get out of that funk you in. This isn't just beautiful, this little Barbie box they put you in or they put us all in. That was just me taking all those negative thoughts and throwing them down the hill.

You got to let go of those demons. That line is interesting because you say you got to cut your horns off, but actually to me, it's demons making you feel that way, not necessarily that you got a demon in yourself. It is. It's that too, and I think too just looking in necessarily that you got a demon in yourself. It is. It's that too.

And I think too, just looking in the mirror and being a demon to yourself. Like, dang, I don't like this about myself. I don't like this. Take that part of you off. But yeah, it's more so everybody else, but we as people have to figure out how we let that affect us.

So when you win, I like how you said win. You got to put that in the air. If you walk up on that stage, do you know what you're going to say already? I told him last night I'm going to crip walk across that whole thing. Write my name on that whole thing.

You're a crip? No, I ain't a crip. Oh, okay. I understand you don't want to pretend to be part of the gods and the earth. You know we don't do that. That shit in North Carolina, that crip blood,

that shit fake as hell. Y'all ain't no real ass crip blood. shit make his head I'm like y'all ain't Don't realize Crippin' blood You in New York You better Let me rock up At least

Let me stop I'll go back home Y'all real Y'all got it Only who you rep is Duke Duke To the core man What are you gonna say

Do you know No I don't know I've tried to like If it happens I've tried to come in my head Like yo What's the's the big inspirational line you going to say when they're going to play it back on Instagram? Like, yeah, I got to have my Oprah moment where they put it in words too. It's like, I like these.

I've been trying to kind of like think about it, but I'm the type of person I just like to wing it, like have it come out. The thing though, and I'm just like, if it happens this year any other years like man Do you name people or do you not because if you start naming people? So that's that's the struggle for me because I like to think everybody like your grandma I got a name everybody. Yeah, I don't even know if the thinking matters anymore. I think I rather hit an inspirational speech I'm with the Instagram I gotta give him the Oprah thing. Yeah. clip. See, that's what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got to give them the Oprah thing. Yeah.

All right. See, that's what I was thinking too. Now that's more pressure, because now you got to memorize that. Yeah. As you're getting fitted. You could bring your little notes up. Nah, I can't do it with paper. You know, I got to.

Do you feel like you're changing the narrative of what, I guess, a woman can look like in this industry? Yeah, I think so. I think I'm helping. Wow. I'm just one Yeah, I think so. I think I'm helping. I'm just one example, without a doubt. Even a Lauryn Hill or a Missy Elliott. Yeah.

Everybody didn't have to be. No, they didn't, but I think what's different is they're a different generation. I think this generation now, they didn't get that. They don't even get variety on a mainstream level if they're looking at the TV, you know. And even sometimes, you know, the Internet. So to be able to be somebody where some people can look and see themselves in, you know, I get a lot of times like, yo, you like the home girl, like the girl next door. And I'm happy I can see somebody that can be normal.

Like, you don't have to be perfect all the time. You don't have to make up to the tour, though I got my joint done today. Like, you know, you don't have to have the waist trainers on. Like, just be yourself. And I think that makes people feel at ease. Like, that life ain't perfect. Ain't nobody perfect.

I was telling you, rappers' breath stink, too. Some people make up their ass for shit. They need dental work, too. Dental work, too. You know what I'm saying? ease like that life ain't perfect ain't nobody perfect rappers breath stink too some people they need dental work too you know what i'm saying like no gum today you missed it so yeah we just regular at the end of the day um you know uh so that's just important for me especially for the the young girls right um they just I just think it needs to be balanced. You don't have to be this all the time. Be yourself. That's why I thought that Billboard article was so dope,

because just the picture of Cardi, then the picture of you. That's just balance right there. Man, I was like, wow. That's a dope article. It's love, too. That's what it's about. We wish you the best of luck. We're going to be looking for you on this weekend, and hopefully you come with a Grammy.

Aw, thank you, man. Yeah, I think you're going to get it, man, because like I said, I really feel like they listened to the album. So if you actually listened to Layla's Wisdom, you would say that's the best rap album of the year. Let Kendrick and Jay fight over best album of the year all together. You know what I'm saying? Let you get best rap album of the year.

Aw, thank you. And if you're out, when Kendrick gets one, don't he? Isn't that how it works? No, no. Oh. So even if you get album, he doesn thank you And if you have one Kendrick gets one don't he That's not how it works No And that's So you get Even if you get album He doesn't get one For being on album

When he won for rap album In 2015 I thought I was I was a Grammy award winning artist And they sent me a letter It's so embarrassing You get the frame of the letter You know you get

All these blogs Raps he's finally A Grammy award winning And they gotta retract that It's like Grammys, and actually she's not You know, I had Hip Hop DX They were the ones, like, yo, we got contacted

from the Grammys, so you have to at that time, you have to be contribute to, I wanna say 50% of that No, 33% of the album at that time, to win And even for, at that time for Album of the Year, if he had won for Al% of the album at that time to win. And even at that time for album of the year, if he had won for album of the year, everybody gets one.

But this year they changed it. So if he wins for album of the year, 9th won't get one because he would have had to contribute to 33% of the album. Wow. Well, Charlamagne thought he was getting one. When Drake shouted him out, Charlamagne, he was looking for his ring. Well, Drake told me he was going to give me one, okay, if he had one. Well, he didn't. Well, so what?

I'm still in the song forever. Alright? Hey, Drake, send the Grammy over, baby. Well, there you have it. It's Rhapsody. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Hope you're enjoying this Friday. Now let's get to the rumors. What are we talking about in the rumors? Where do you want to start? We're talking about Nelly's girlfriend, Chantel Jackson, defending him. Let's go. Listen up. It's just in.

All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club.

Well, there's claims against Nelly by one woman, Monique Green, who says that he raped her on a tour bus in Washington. And now there's two new women who are saying they went through a situation with Nelly as well, an assault situation. Now Chantel Jackson, who is his longtime girlfriend, is defending him. She put out a statement. Look, I know he effed up, and we're dealing with that in our relationship to rebuild it and find trust. Having to go through all of this publicly is the worst feeling ever, but this should

not open the door for false claims. Those dates these Jane Does are claiming, I was at those venues, in the dressing rooms, and on that tour bus. There are women dealing with real issues of sexual assault, and for the first time, people are listening, and there's a chance for real change. But all of this work is discredited and makes things harder for the survivors when people lie. There's nothing wrong with that.

You can't get mad at Chantel Jackson for expressing what she believes, right? Right. So, Kamora Lee Simmons, in the meantime, had this to say about Russell Simmons. She said, I add my voice to the chorus of those speaking out against harassment and violence in all its forms.

I've known Russell for over 25 years. We were close friends, married, divorced, and have remained friends, co-parents, and partners throughout it all. These allegations against him are nothing like the person I've known in all that time. I've known him to be a caring and supportive father and someone who has worked tirelessly to uplift disenfranchised communities. She said this is a pivotal moment in which men are being held accountable for their abuses of power and denigrating behavior towards women in all spheres.

As a mother of two daughters, I believe no one should ever be shamed or portrayed as an unreliable witness to their own experience for speaking up. Nor should anyone be condemned legally without due process and a fair trial. Well, since social media has already tried both Russell and Nelly in the court of public opinion, How are they reacting to those two character witnesses from those young ladies? How is social media reacting? Well, this just happened, so I guess we'll see what people have to say to respond. I don't know why people act like it's not two sides, three sides to every story, actually. It's your side, it's my side, and then it's the truth. Right.

So those young ladies have picked a side. They believe they're guys. What's wrong with that? All right, now let's discuss Toni Braxton. She was on with Angie Martinez and she discussed a variety of things. First, she talked about Vince and Tamar and how

she believes they will get back together. I think Tamar and Vince are just going through a I hate you Jodi phase. Remember the movie Baby Boy? I hate you Jodi. Right, of course. I think those two are going to get back together if they're not already. You do? Absolutely. They love, that's just their phase. And I think those two are going to get back together. You do? Absolutely.

They love each other. Really? Absolutely. Isn't there a baby? I don't know if that's true or not. I've been asking. I've heard rumors of S. Tamar. I don't know if it's true.

You're out of the loop like everybody. That's a good example, but a bad example because didn't Tamar's mom kind of like imply that Viz was putting hands on him? Yeah. Jodi did putting hands on her? Jodie did put hands on the vet in that movie. But she answered that on the interview, too. She was like, Mama, sometimes just be going too far. Show me no, she be talking about she just be defending her daughter. She answered that in that interview as well.

And she also talks about Birdman because a lot of people thought that Tony Braxton's married already to Birdman. Here's what she said. You're claiming each other, right? Because you're on carpets together. You're in a relationship. Tamar just told the world that we're married and we elope. Boom. She calls him your brother-in-law.

She does. She calls him Bill. Is it because you're married and he's her brother-in-law? We're not married. I promise you. If I was married, I would. Well, maybe I wouldn't be so explosive about it, but I wouldn't deny it. But we would know.

I wouldn't say I'm not married if someone asked me. Right, right, right. I'm not married. Well, congratulations to them. Alright, in addition she talks about being friends with Birdman before they actually sealed the deal.

You know, me and him have been friends for 16 years. I know, you had a song like 15 years ago too, right? Yeah, we've been like besties for a long time. People always say that. No, no, this is real. Like no cross the line. Besties like you always kept in touch and you always talk we would keep in touch you would come see me if when I had my place when I when I had my baby shower he would come but we were really friends but I was married what you doing okay we mean

my boys gonna stop past there for a few year me that's a good thing to hear about burn man cuz it kind of humanizes him a little bit, right? Not only that, she said how sick she was and she was on tour and she was extremely sick. And she said Birdman went out with her on tour before they were dating, before they were together, just friends, just to support her and make sure she was all right. Well, why y'all ain't play that clip? I don't want to hear you say it.

I told him to grab that clip. That's the only clip they put in. Well, it's good, though, because it humanizes Birdman. You've never seen Birdman show affection to anybody except for Wayne. Right. Hmm.

I mean, he's, you know, he's very affectionate with his children. I mean, come on. That's a given. Stop it. That's human. Mm-hmm.

All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Charlamagne! Yes. Who you throwing that down?

This is a very teachable moment, man. It's the weekend and it's Grammy weekend. And I know that your significant other might be running these streets in New York. And then, you know, next month is like All-Star weekend and CIAA weekend. Super Bowl, CIAA, yeah. Super Bowl. So your significant other may be traveling those weekends without you.

This is a good teachable moment about jealousy in relationships. Okay? All right. Just pay attention for after the hour. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day at Charlemagne. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed way. So like a donkey. Keyhole. Donkey of the Day. The Breakfast Club, bitches.

Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but donkey of the day is a new one. Yes, donkey of the day for Friday, January 26th goes to a 42-year-old man named Mo Ahmed. Now, there's nothing on this planet worse than a jealous, insecure mate. If you are a jealous, insecure person, when it comes to your significant other, you will never, ever have a healthy relationship. It just won't work. If you're calling me, FaceTiming me, texting me every five minutes just to keep tabs on me, it won't work. If I

say I'm going out and you don't want me to and you want to know who I'm with and what I'm doing at all times, it's not going to work. Some of y'all listening to my voice saying, I'm in that kind of relationship right now. You was at the gym yesterday on the treadmill. He called you. You answered the phone breathing hard and he said, why are you breathing so hard? I hear men in the background. You replied, answered the phone breathing hard. And he said, why you breathing so hard?

I hear men in the background. You replied, I'm at the gym. And he said, hold up. I'm going to hang up in FaceTime. And your dumb ass answered the FaceTime to prove you was really at the gym. Then he wanted to know who all the dudes in the gym are. And he like, what you mean you don't know? So you work out at a gym where you don't know who the dudes that go there are?

Just a whole bunch of nothing. Okay, simply because this dude is jealous and insecure. It's Grammy weekend in New York. Some of y'all just floating around the city enjoying the festivities, but your boo not with you. Do you think your jealous ass, you know, significant other really wants you to have a good time this weekend? He up right now plotting on how to ruin your weekend.

You'll see the night when he looks at the clock and hears that voice that says, it's midnight on a Friday. Do you know where your boo is? At the Culture 2 album release party in New York City, Grammy weekend. Oh Lord. Your phone starts ringing back to back. You start getting a million texts simply because your boo is jealous. Now, the only thing worse than a jealous boyfriend is a petty jealous boyfriend. And that's exactly what Mo Ahmed, today's donkey of the day is, a petty jealous emotional boyfriend. Now, according to the New York Daily News, Mohamed was jealous that his partner was enjoying a night out at a British pub.

Now, I feel him a little bit because the couple has been struggling financially, and he was frustrated his girlfriend was spending the evening out while he worked two jobs to make ends meet. I can understand that a little bit. Okay, I can see where the frustration is. All right, number one reason couples get divorced is finances, right, Yee? Yep, that's correct. So if we're struggling

in that department and I'm at work busting my ass and you in a pub getting drunk, having a good time, I can see why he could feel a way,

but damn, can she not relax? Can she not have some me time? Can she try to relieve her stress? Now, the probation report reads the couple

ran a gift shop, but it only took in about 20 pounds a day. The probation report reads more men felt annoyed she was spending money while he was having to work away to pay the bills. When he learned she was going to the pub, he was angry and frustrated and wanted to ruin her night. Well, how did Mo Ahmed ruin her night? By making an emotional decision. And I tell you all the time, never move off emotion, move off strategy.

I'm sure he could have found a strategic way to ruin our night, but he didn't. He decided to pick up his cell phone, call the pub, and make a bomb threat. He called the pub and said, there's a bomb, there's a bomb, there's a bomb about to explode. More than 100 people were evacuated from the pub, and guests were also asked to leave the establishment's 29 hotel rooms. Now, poor Ahmed was sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for a year, was ordered to pay the pub 840 pounds, and is required to perform 120 hours of community service. Now, if he thought he was stressing about his partner when he was free,

that six months in prison might cause him to dive into anxiety attack. You know your partner going to be sleeping and having a whole lot of fun while you're locked away for six months, right? Once you go to jail, you relinquish all rights to your partner gonna be sleeping and having a whole lot of fun while you locked away for six months, right? Once you go to jail, you relinquish all rights to your partner's sexual desires because you aren't there to satisfy him. Your partner has a whole six months to do what they want and God forbid

they realize life is so much better without you. Less stress, less drama. Oh yes, more men. While you in prison, your partner will be experiencing more head and less headaches. And there's nothing you can do about it, okay? In fact, it's your fault because you made a poor choice. Listen, this is a teachable moment because a little jealousy is healthy in a relationship, okay?

It's always good to know that someone is afraid to lose you. But love shouldn't be about jealousy or anything like that. It should be about commitment and being able to trust that person. If you can't have that from the get-go, there is a problem. And if those wise words don't move you, then understand this. Whether it's Grammy weekend, CIAA weekend, All-Star weekend, the Super Bowl, all the events coming up that your significant other may or may not attend without you, just know that if they want to sleep with somebody else,

if they want to let somebody else smash, if they want to smash somebody else, there is nothing, nothing you can do about it, okay? I don't care how many times you call, text, stress him or her out. He or she may answer the phone on top of somebody else, so it don't matter, okay? But I would much rather deal with that as a free human being than do something To get locked up Like Mo did

Please give Mo Ahmed The biggest hee haw please Now How old were they The guy was 42 I don't know how old Okay alright 42 a little too old

A little too old To be stressing over that I'm not gonna lie Here he go He light skinned though Everybody keep that in mind Back when I was in my My upper teens That's like 19.

1976, okay. In 2021. Okay. I might have done something like that. I think I have done something like this. Me and the wife got into an argument. My wife now got into an argument. You called it a bomb threat.

And she went to the club. I might have said there was a fire department call and shut that club down. You want to party with me? Nobody parties. I might have did that once or twice. Well, we understand that you're a waffle-colored Negro. I might have did that before. I said might have.

We expect that from you. Allegedly, I might have did that. And it might have worked because nobody partied. It's party over. We expect that from the beige of the world. Party over. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today.

Yes. All right. Now, let's talk cuckolding. Did I say that right? What the hell is that? Yes, cuckolding. Now, what is cuckolding? Is that a cup holder for your cock? now let's talk cuck holding. Did I say that right? What the hell is that? Yes, cuck holding. Now, what is cuck holding? Is that a cup holder for your cock?

No, it's cuck holding. Oh, cuck. Cuck holding. Oh. Okay. Why are you so childish over there? Go ahead, Yee. Basically, that's when men get pleasure out of seeing their wife or significant other have sex with another man. Oh, you know what?

When I was in, uh, let me see. Oh, what did you do? This was like 07, 08 maybe when I was in Jamaica at Hedonism. Hedonism. Hedonism. Hedonism. I don't even know if it's still open. Yeah, it's still open. But it was like this resort where everybody used to walk around naked and all kind of stuff like that. And them freaky white

people in that resort was definitely asking us to come watch them sleep with each other. They was offering us money and everything. Did you do it? If you watch the show Gigolo, one of the Gigolos, Nick Hawk,

he was up here. He actually had to do that one time too. He got paid for a couple. The man wanted to watch his wife have sex with him. No, they was offering bread. They was like,

yo, if you sleep with my wife, you know what I'm saying? That's something else. Sleep with your wife. Yeah, that's what it is. They wanted me, they was asking me to sleep with their wife and they wanted to watch. Yeah's something else. Sleep with your wife. Yeah, that's what it is. That's what it is. Wow. They was asking me to sleep with their wife. While they watch.

And they wanted to watch. Yeah, they watch. You and your wife went to heat and thistle? Nah, I didn't go with my wife. So who were they? Sorry. It was a radio station trip. This is why you have to watch it with Wendy at BLS.

You know what? You just asked the wrong question. No, no, no, no. You know what? I don't want to get my man in trouble. Let's just keep it moving. Oh, she know all about that. Oh, okay.

Anyway, Ado Drake. I was a wild boy back then. 585-105-1. What's the question? That's what I was with the young man. I told you to stop it. I took the tampon out and threw it in the water and thought it was a stingray later on. What?

Hey, listen, man. I ain't got no- But some people are saying this can be very positive for some couples, according to a study on CNN. Letting somebody else bang your wife or letting somebody else bang your man? While you watch. No, that's nothing. So what are we talking about? 800-585-1051. Would you watch your significant other have

sex with someone else? I'm not even playing this game. Does that turn you on? Hell no. Hell no. And that's cheating. 800-585-1051. Are you talking to me of Maxwell? Nope. You want to watch Maxwell in gear? You're lying. Why role play when you can just let Maxwell

do the business? No. You want to let Morris Chestnut and your wife while you watch? No. Why? I look like Morris.

You don't look nothing like Morris, first of all. You don't look like Morris. Nothing like Morris. Morris look like me. Not even close. 800-585-1051. This is a tough room, boy.

Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. That was more money, more problems. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

It's Friday, so you know what that means. It's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday. And today's Freaky, Freaky, Freaky Friday question is, we're talking cuckolding. Would you watch a significant other have sex with somebody else? According to a study at CNN, they're saying that this could be positive for some couples. And it's a very popular thing. As a matter of fact, we discussed this on Lip Service with Bobby Lights. You know him from Love and Hip Hop Miami.

And here's what he had to say. What about a threesome? Has a girl ever been like Yo me and my man Yeah plenty of times I've been offered money To sleep with A wife and her husband Yes

Plenty of times That's one of my porn categories It'll be like Wife and husband Is gang banged By big butt So what's positive about this? Like I don't understand

What does CNN say What's positive about this? I guess what's positive Is the fact that Your wife wants to sleep With somebody else And you're allowing her to Basically I think it's more than that fact that your wife wants to sleep with somebody else and you're allowing her to, basically.

I think it's more than that because you are more than her, supposedly. According to CNN, they said part of what makes it arousing for heterosexual men, because they said it's similarities between the way gay and straight men view cuckolding, is that they tend to view it as a taboo act. So it's in society, a culture that everybody talks about monogamy. It's a fantasy that is available for people to conceptualize their sexual fantasies. Sounds like Supervisors cheating to me. And I'm going to tell you something, man.

Why don't you just buy a robot? When are they going to make the male robots for the women? And then you can just have the male robot and then you don't have to worry about stuff like cock holding. They said it's also an emotional thing seeing your partner with someone else adds to you being turned on. But for some guys, they like it because it's an element

of humiliation, degradation, or denial. So some guys like that. You know how some people like it kind of a... No. Humiliated? That's kind of like people who like sugar and salt at the same time. That's like a bittersweet taste, right? Whatever it tastes like, I don't know. You take a shot of tequila, but then you put the salt in your hand

and lick it. That's what that feels like to me. Okay, I'm cool on that. I told you I was in Jamaica at Hedonism. And when I was there, the people there, a lot of people there was like, yo, you know, I pay you to sleep with my wife and let me watch. I'm like, nah, I'm cool on that, bro, bro. How much? It was a good offer. It was like $3,000, $4,000 at the time.

It was a good offer. It was like $2,700. How'd the wife look, though? One of them, hey, one of them chicks was bad. Matter of fact, I was on the balcony, right? And this chick was walking by. And I remember howling at her like, yeah, yeah. That's how you know a black guy.

Yeah, yeah. And I'm like, yo, what's up? Come in. She was like, hold up. Let me go get my husband. I'm like, nah, nah. We good. We cool.

That wasn't an offer. Shit. It was an offer. At that resort, you know it was an offer. Angel. Yes. Good morning. Now, you're for it, you know it wasn't awful. Angel. Yes, good morning. Now, you're for it, Angel? I'm for watching.

Yes, I'm for watching. Have you tried it? Have you tried it yet? I have not. I have not. Why? That's how you know you would be for it. Because I like, you know, something different.

You know, a little something changed in the bedroom. So you would watch your man have sex. No, you would let your man watch you have sex with another man? No, I watch him. Yes, I watch him. Wow, you would watch him pound out a girl. Well, that sounds fair.

I'm not going to let nobody do me because I've never been with another man ever since I was married. Just because I was a virgin, met him, married him, and that's the only man. Wow, you are a true gift from God. I could never do it, and I'm almost 54,

so it would be difficult for me to ever do it with someone else. Every day of my life, I look for signs that God is real, and this is just yet another sign that God is so real. Was he a virgin as well? God bless you. We lost it. Hello, who's this? Hello, this is Lavelle from Connecticut.

Hey, Lavelle. Now, would you, I guess, would you let your man smash another woman in your watch? No. Why not? But, no, well, I have a story. Well, my ex, he wanted me to sleep with other guys. Yeah, it's a very popular thing. It's usually men want to watch their woman sleep with another man.

Really? Did you do it? I wasn't comfortable. I wanted, it was just weird. Like, your boyfriend telling you to cheat on him. Like, you give him permission to cheat on him Like you giving permission To cheat That's all it is

Is supervised cheating But did you do it? I never got a chance to The way he wanted it To go down He wanted He wanted me to like Leave

Like after I slept With the guy He wanted me to Come to him And he would go down On me right after Like he didn't want me To shower

So he wanted to Taste another man I'm gonna tell you the truth I'm gonna tell you What it is baby He gave But he's just scared He's. I'm going to tell you what it is, baby. He gay, but he's just scared to do it. That's all it is.

That's all it is. He want that second hand penis. Oh, kind of right. It's like second hand smoke. Thank you. My goodness. 800-585-105. When we're talking cuck holding, would you mind, well, would you want to watch your significant other

smash somebody else? According to CNN, it can be good for some couples. Nah, F that. Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We're asking about cuck holding, alright? That's, uh,

would you want to watch your significant other smash somebody else? Does that turn you on? Well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Marie. Hey, Marie. Good morning. Good morning.

How are you? We're good. Now, Marie, you do this all the time? You get smashed out by another man while your husband watches? No, no, no, no, no. I'm in a polyamorous relationship, so me and my husband-to-be have a girlfriend that is in-house with us. Oh, okay.

So we do this all the time. So you watch him have sex with her all the time, and then he watches the two of you have sex with each other? And then we all do it all at the same time. All right, there you have it. Wow. Why not? How did that work?

How did y'all first have that initial conversation? Well, because I am already bisexual, and I believe in polyamory. But the thing is, is I don't believe that one man should just have two different wives. I believe that the wives should also be dating each other as well, because that's where everything goes wrong. Because if the two women aren't in a relationship with each other, they have to compete with each other. But if they're actually with each other as well, then there's no competing because sometimes he's the one that's out. So it was still work. What if you decide you love her more than him?

Well, I do love him more than I love her, because I've been with him longer. We're about to get married in six months. But as me and her build our relationship, and they build their relationship, it will be equal, because we all love each other from different aspects. I love her for the things that I can't get from him.

So you guys never get jealous of each other? Why would I? I sleep with her the same way he sleeps with her. I can't get jealous of that. This is amazing. God, hey, man, I ain't mad from him. So you guys never get jealous of each other? Why would I? I sleep with her the same way he sleeps with her. I can't get jealous of that. This is amazing. Hey man, I ain't mad at you. Why am I mad at you for how you do your thing? It's working, right? Were your parents like this as well? Well, my

mother was bisexual. I grew up half of my life with having a mom and a stepmom. But I was born this way. I can legit say that I've liked girls since I was a little girl, but I was born this way. Like, I can legit say that I've liked girls since I was a little girl, but I like men more. So I'll always choose men over women,

but if I can have a husband and a girlfriend, why not? Men ain't the only ones I can have. They can't eat it, too. You goddamn right. If I want a hamburger, you don't order no hamburger without getting some fries to go with it.

Exactly. I need a little shake to go with that, too. My cameraman said, do you have a sister? I do not. I am the only girl. She's the only girl, Steve. You are one of one.

All right. Thank you, mama. Thank you. I'm still stuck off the dude that went down on his girl right after she finished with another guy. No, he wanted to.

She never did it. Oh, she didn't let him? He wanted to. That was his fantasy. Oh, my goodness. I'm about to say, if you ain't got the heart to be gay, then relax.

All right, well, what's the moral of this story? Whatever turns you on, if your partner's with it, go ahead. I ain't watching no man have sex with my woman, man. I'm not doing anything. Ain't no supervised cheating going on in my world. But it is something that happens.

It's a popular thing. Yeah, I'm not mad at nobody that does it. Because I'm telling you, when we was at Hedonism 2, that was the thing. That's the first time I even heard of it. It didn't have a name back then. It wasn't called cuckholding or nothing. But it was a lot of people offering us money to sleep with their wives

and they could watch. Nah, B. Yeah, I told you, it's popular. And if it's good for your relationship and you guys are both okay with it, go for it.

If anybody's uncomfortable, then no. But let's say you do that and he smashes your woman, your fiance, your wife, and she starts squirting crazy and screaming and she don't do that with you?

Let's say that. You better ask him for some tips. Nope. Let's say you're sleeping with another man's wife, and while you're hitting it from the back, you feel a little tickle in your booty. And you turn around, and this man got his pinky out. See? You go too far. You know, I paid for this.

Don't you tell me I went too far. All right? You got rumors on the way? Yes, we're going to talk about the Migos. They have a new album, Out Culture 2, and we'll tell you some of the songs and features that you can expect on that because it just came out. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back.

Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now let's get to those rumors. Let's talk Wendy Williams. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. On The Breakfast Club.

Wendy Williams, she says that she is sick of the Me Too movement. She had a lot of different things to say, and here is Wendy on her show. I'm sick of this Me Too movement. I love that people are speaking up for the first time and coming out and everything, but I look at all men like you're a Me Too. All of them. All of them. Which is not fair.

What? That sounds crazy. I don't think she thought that one all the way through. Is that quiet again? First of all, if you're a woman, why as a woman would you be sick of the Me Too movement? The Me Too movement is a cultural revolution that's going to make things for women better in the future.

So why would you be sick of it? It's a great time for women to be able to come out and speak their truth. It's been really hard for women for decades, for even longer than that, to feel like they have a safe space where they can express themselves just for reasons like that. That's just not a smart thing to say because when you say things like that, people will be like, oh, really? You're sick of the Me Too movement? Well, that's when it comes knocking at your door.

Yeah, I think that's horrible. That's very irresponsible to say something so crazy like that. I'm sick of the Me Too movement. That sounds so crazy. And then you watch the Nassar who's going to jail for 175 years and what he did to over 150 young women. It's because of the Me Too movement that probably gave those women the courage to speak out. And finally, one person was able to speak out,

and then over 150 came and spoke out at the trial. Hey, man, you better be very careful when you come knocking at your door. That sounded crazy. That sounded crazy. All right, she also talked about R. Kelly and the young 14- and 15-year-old girls that he had relationships with. There's a grassroots movement to remove R. Kelly from the music industry forever. Hashtag mute R. Kelly. It's not going to work.

Black people aren't really good at protesting. Not since the King March and, you know... The Me Too movement hasn't affected R. Kelly. Because R. Kelly, he wasn't a Me Too. Aaliyah voluntarily married him when she was 15 years old. And her parents voluntarily let her do it.

But I don't think people have seen it because people always say to me,

like, why you always be on R. Kelly so hard, but not everybody else? It's like, because I saw the tape. Yeah. I saw the tape. We all saw the tape. Right. So, anyway, that was Wendy Williams. And she's wild.
