You guys are the coveted morning show, but y'all earn it. Impacting the culture. They wake up in the morning and they want to hear that Breakfast Club. The world's most dangerous morning show.
Starting point is 00:03:03 We in the mother, We in the... Good morning, Angela Yee. Hey, good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Monday. Yes, it's Monday. Back to the work week. Yes, man. And suit all the interns that we don't have this morning.
Starting point is 00:03:36 Yes, no interns today. Therefore, we just feel like we stranded on a deserted island. Okay? Can't go get my breakfast. Can't get no green tea. No water. I'm just here parched. Well, we do have green tea up here. It's not Can't get no green tea, no water. I'm just here parched. Well, we do have green tea up here.
Starting point is 00:03:47 It's not as good as the green tea you could get. It's definitely not. At Starbucks. Say it. Go ahead. Let it out. We cool. Starbucks cool now, right?
Starting point is 00:03:54 Isn't Starbucks cool? Yeah, it's fine. I have my own green tea if you want a pack. What kind you got? Something special? Yeah, some ginger green tea. Oh, I'll take that all day long. Well, this is the last week of summer.
Starting point is 00:04:05 And I just want to say one last thing, too. Tea is very expensive. It makes a lot of sense to bring your own pack. Like, I bring boxes of tea in. I thought it was free. I thought the tea was free up here. Well, the tea up here is nasty. Yeah, it's not the best green tea.
Starting point is 00:04:15 It's pretty terrible. Might be green dye. No. All right. Might be green dye and some water. All right. How was everybody's weekend? Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:04:22 My weekend was crazy. I feel like I didn't stop working. But I was in Atlanta. We had this Red Bull Sound Clash. It's called Culture Clash. It was a battle, four different bands. Cranium actually won, reggae artist Cranium. He beat Zaytoven.
Starting point is 00:04:35 But it was one of the best events I've ever been to. So if you guys have never been to a Sound Clash, they originate in Jamaica. But it was a huge battle. Everybody brings out special guests. You have dub plates, and you actually kind of diss each other over these dub plates. Now, who beats Zaytoven? Cranium. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:04:51 Reggae artist. Yeah, but it is a Jamaican thing, and Cranium is Jamaican. Exactly. But he won in the last minute. He had major hype with him on stage. Oh, yeah. I'm going to tell you what made him win. He bought out Movado. See, he cheated. At the last minute, but that's what you're supposed to do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:06 But, you know, Zay Tobin bought out Young Dolph. I was like, oh, that's it. Yeah. It was a pretty great event. And then I had a really exciting time because I launched my new business this weekend at Afropunk Festival in Brooklyn. So it's called Drink Fresh Juice. It's a subscription-based juice business. And it went so well, they actually asked us to join the rest of the Afropunk Tour with Toyota.
Starting point is 00:05:26 So shout out to them. Nice. All right. Well, shout out to everybody that came out to the backpack giveaway. We did a backpack giveaway, gave away 10,000 backpacks Sunday morning. We drove to different locations. We thought it off at Juices for Life in Yonkers and just hit several locations, just giving kids backpacks.
Starting point is 00:05:43 And then I do my class. It's a real estate class where we teach people how to get into real estate. You know, there was a lot of young people, 18 years old to 60 years old, just teaching them how to get into real estate, how to invest, what to look for, just how to help them out. For instance, you know, every time I created an LLC, I always went through my accountant or my lawyer to do it, and they always charged me like $750 to $1,000.
Starting point is 00:06:04 But I don't know, a lot of people don't know that you can actually do that yourself online and it only costs $125. And it's really easy to do. And they have all these websites available that actually walk you through it. All you have to do is fill out the forms. Right, so, you know, just teaching people how to do those type of things. Those were things I didn't know, but, you know, somebody had to teach me.
Starting point is 00:06:20 So we're just teaching them things like that and how to, you know, get into the real estate game without spending as much money or a lot of money. So it was a great course. Well, congratulations to y'all because I didn't do none of that this damn weekend. I saw you at Angie Martinez's barbecue. That's right. I was out.
Starting point is 00:06:33 All right. I was shocked. I pulled up to Angie Martinez's barbecue, so I took a legend to Angie Martinez. And then other than that, I watched Netflix all goddamn weekend. That's nice. Yeah, you kept saying you weren't coming out. I was like, look who just walked in. You know, I don't like to announce my moves.
Starting point is 00:06:48 Okay. I saw Proud Mary this weekend on Netflix. I saw The After Party on Netflix. I watched Power this weekend. Nice. I watched Insecure. Okay. I wasn't home at all.
Starting point is 00:06:58 We went to Fat Joe's birthday party last night also. Happy birthday to Fat Joe. Joey Crack, happy birthday. And it was also Black Girls Rock over the weekend. And that was amazing, but I'll tell you about that later. I got invited to that Fat Joe thing with Noah. That was amazing. It was nice. I was out two nights in a row.
Starting point is 00:07:11 You would have loved it. At SWB, performed. And Keep Sweat, I heard. Keep Sweat performed. I heard. Ja Rule performed. I heard. You know what I did on Sunday?
Starting point is 00:07:17 What's that? Got out to bed, ate breakfast, and then went to sleep on the couch. Dropped one of Clues bombs for me, damn it. Oh, no. Fat Joe's birthday party. We had an amazing time last night. We'll tell you more about that. And then we got front page news.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Yes, this is some tragic news. Two people were killed in a Jacksonville video game tournament. Also, rest in peace to John McCain. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:07:40 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. What are DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, We Are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Well, rest in peace to sixth term U.S. Senator from Arizona, John McCain. He actually was a presidential nominee for Republicans back in 2008. And he ran with Sarah Palin in the vice presidential back and lost to Obama.
Starting point is 00:08:05 And later on said that he regretted having Sarah Palin as his partner who he ran with, but he actually made the decision to stop medical treatment after he was battling brain cancer for about a year. Shortly after they announced that he did pass away, they did say that age was a factor in his decision to stop treatment and he had surpassed
Starting point is 00:08:21 expectations for survival. Now he said specifically he did not want Donald Trump to attend his funeral. And what was great about him was that he actually did, even though he was a Republican, kind of crossed over those lines. If you guys remember, he actually, after he got diagnosed with brain cancer, cast a deciding vote that killed Donald Trump's attempt to repeal Obamacare. And it was a huge surprise, but he did make sure that he came back to vote. It was a deciding vote that he had.
Starting point is 00:08:47 So he was very respected in the Senate, even sometimes breaking from the Republican ranks when he felt like it was more important for him to do what was right than just to be a Republican. Well, he evolved over the years because, I mean, at one point he did vote against making Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday a national holiday. So he did evolve from that, though. Now, Donald Trump did used to mock John McCain during his presidential campaign. He mocked him for being a prisoner of war.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Now, if you guys notice, he did used to walk with a limp. And actually, while he was battling back in 1967, he was captured after his bomber was hit by a missile. The force was so violent, he broke his right leg and both arms. He said he was held in a prison camp where he was beaten every two or three hours by guards over the course of several days, and that's why he had a visible limp when he would walk, and he couldn't raise either arm above his shoulders.
Starting point is 00:09:36 So rest in peace to John McCain. He was 81 years old. Now, I wonder if it's more fun to ban someone from your funeral, or is it better to record a video of you calling out, calling them out at your funeral for being there, knowing they didn't mess with you when you was alive? Nah, you banned them. I don't know, man. Imagine recording a video and then they come to your funeral and you play
Starting point is 00:09:54 the video and you put them on blast for the world to see at your funeral. So you want to be petty in death? Why not? That's kind of it. It's not about being petty. Family, friends, then. Why concentrate on him? It ain't necessary. It's not about what petty. Family, friends, why concentrate on him? It ain't necessary. It's not about what you didn't like.
Starting point is 00:10:08 You're a public servant. Donald Trump comes and you put Donald Trump on blast for all the evidence. But bigger than that, you're a family man with five children and your wife. Your friends are there. You don't want to be petty. You think McCain doesn't still want Donald Trump to be called out even in death? So you call him out one last time yourself for the world to see. Not on his funeral. Not on his funeral.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Not at his funeral. You know what? Send it to World Store. Send it to World Store. But y'all are the same people that like to block people on Instagram. Not me. I like them to see me shine.
Starting point is 00:10:32 You cut your comments off a couple days. I did that once, but I pissed him off because I saw Floyd Mayweather do that. Okay, now let's move on and talk about two people who were killed in a shooting at a Jacksonville video game tournament.
Starting point is 00:10:46 This was sad. David Katz, he was a 24-year-old gamer from Baltimore, Maryland. He was in Jacksonville for the tournament. On Sunday, he brought a gun in the venue. He opened fire and killed two people, and then he committed suicide. He turned the gun on himself. They have not released a possible motive, but he did win the Madden tournament back in 2017 according to multiple gamers. So
Starting point is 00:11:07 they don't know what that motive is for that yet, but two people were killed. Other people were injured as well. And everything was captured on an online stream of the event. It was posted on Twitch. Once the gunshots started, that's when the game abruptly stopped and people were screaming. Now, did he come in there just to kill
Starting point is 00:11:23 people or was he talking slick to each other while playing? I think he lost. I think he lost. He lost and got upset. Damn. Yeah, they don't have the motive as of yet. We don't know what his plan was. I mean, the fact that he even had a gun in the venue with him.
Starting point is 00:11:36 It's crazy. We don't know what that was about yet, but they're still investigating. 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

Hey, JoJo, man, you should have thought about that when you first called up here. See, that's why you didn't call up here with no plan.

Starting point is 00:15:33 Good morning, Shalame. What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. It's Rick from Brooklyn. So, just now I was calling in to talk about John McCain and talk about you know, Shalame, you say all the time that we should give white people credit for using their white privilege. He did do that. You know, especially in the last days of his
Starting point is 00:15:50 career. He had a chance to slander Obama when people were calling him a Muslim and stuff like that. And there's a video out when he was telling this lady in the crowd that he's not a Muslim and he's actually a really good guy. And that's kind of the reason why he kind of lost the election during that time
Starting point is 00:16:05 because he refused to slander Obama using, you know, dirty tactics. Yeah, the guy called him an A-Rab. I mean, listen, his views definitely evolved. His views definitely evolved because he definitely— And we always talk about people evolving. Yeah, because he definitely did vote against Martin Luther King's holiday back in the day about making it a national holiday. He changed a long way.
Starting point is 00:16:22 He could have been a dirtbag, but he didn't. But I got upset just now, too, because I had a great week with my family in Maryland, and I drove back, and I lost all my lunch money for the week. Like, I can't find $100 that I had in my pocket,
Starting point is 00:16:33 so now I'm back. So, man, I'm having a horrible day now. I'm sorry to hear that. Sorry for you, bro. That's so annoying. I hope you find it. Yeah, you just lose $100. I hope so.
Starting point is 00:16:42 A whole $100, bro. A whole $100. You don't got a wallet? He might have misplaced it. Bobby! Yo, what up? What up, baby? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:16:49 Why you mad, Bobby? I'm mad, yo. My girl is trying to mess up. Yo, my girl got tight because I paid for my child's mother's breast, y'all. Now, understand, my child's mother and I, we mad cool. Cool to the point to where if you don't know what she's going to say, brother and sister, we cool like that. So, you know, my child's mother is going to get it done. So, I'm like, all right, cool. Cool to the point to where if you don't know what she's going to say, brother and sister, we cool like that. So, you know, my child's mother is going to get it done.
Starting point is 00:17:08 So I'm like, all right, cool. I got you. My girl, she's bad. She should be bad. She has every right to be mad at that. That's a little weird. You shouldn't be paying for another woman's breast job. Yeah, that sounds a little crazy, sir.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Nah, nah, nah. Come on. Not if she knew how close my child's mother and I are. Nah, B. The breast is a little bit too personal for you to be paying for. Would you like it if your woman paid for her ex-boyfriend's penis
Starting point is 00:17:29 to get extended? Now, you see, I don't know. Angela, it's too early for you with that logic. It makes sense, though. It's too early for logic. Do they have penis extension surgery? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:40 They do? Yeah, of course they do. I've never heard of that. You know you have some penis inside of you that they could pull some of that out. Oh, really? Yeah. I thought that was just called being stuck. That's why you like it so much when people play with your d***.
Starting point is 00:17:51 My d***. So Charlamagne has penis inside of him? So do you. You definitely got penis inside of you. I am nine and a half inch dildo. We'll never forget. Hashtag never forget. All right?
Starting point is 00:18:03 I'm going to Human Resources. We'll never forget 9-5. I'm going to Human Resources. Same way we won't'm going to Human Resources. We'll never forget 9-5. I'm going to Human Resources. Same way we won't ever forget 9-11, we'll never forget 9-5. You guys Googled it. This part of your penis is inside of you. I didn't know that. Get it off your chest.
Starting point is 00:18:11 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Now we got rumors on the way. Yes, and this is something we definitely want to vent about this morning. Let's talk about Serena Williams and a ban on Serena Williams. We'll tell you what they're banning just for her. And Roland Martin will be joining us this morning. We'll kick it with Roland Martin in a little bit.
Starting point is 00:18:29 So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to these rumors. It's Monday. It's Monday, okay? It's Monday. Oh, it's so bad out there. I woke up this morning. I was late. I was just doing a hoodie, ran to work, and then I listened to these rumors. It's Monday. It's Monday, okay? It's Monday. Oh, it's so bad out there.
Starting point is 00:18:45 I woke up this morning. I was late. I was just doing a hoodie, ran to work, and then I listened to the news. They said it was going to be a heat wave. So I don't know why I got this hoodie on. But anyway, my dumb ass got a denim jean jacket on. Like, it ain't going to be 90-something degrees today. 90 degrees.
Starting point is 00:18:56 But I have on shorts. You knew. Because I watched the weather this morning. You sure did. Well, let's get to these rumors. Let's talk who got a $6 million buyout. Listen up. It's just the intro. All's talk who got a $6 million buyout. Listen up. It's just in.
Starting point is 00:19:06 All it got. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Jemele Hill is leaving ESPN after 12 years working there.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Now she's getting, according to reports, a $6 million buyout. Wow. That's right. That means now she can invest in herself, empower other people. And ESPN basically wanted to make sure that she doesn't talk about it. Exactly. That's the buyout. I don't know what went on over there, but she got $6 million.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Now, according to James Miller, he's the one that really broke the story on Twitter. Coming September 1st, an amicable departure by Alfred Jamil Hill from ESPN. Been a long time coming. The departure comes after meetings he requested with ESPN President Pataro. You know, it's a gutless move from ESPN. You know, all these networks have these culturally clueless corporate executives who are just a bunch of sneaky Trump supporters. And they can't have anyone telling the truth about that guy because that's what Jamil was doing. And then, you know, I saw the
Starting point is 00:20:05 ESPN president said he wants his anchors to talk less about politics. Well, why won't you tell the president to talk less about sports? If the president talks less about sports, then the anchors won't have to talk about the president. How do y'all feel if she takes the money? She should take the money. She can take the money. She's leaving. And she don't have to speak bad about ESPN
Starting point is 00:20:22 because that's what we for. And then she can go ahead and now use that money to do some other fantastic things. Oh, I think she should take it. I can't stand that. I hate when they invest in people like Jemele Hill, knowing what type of personality she is. She's outspoken. She's going to speak her mind. But then as soon as she says something that doesn't align with your values or your views, you get upset.
Starting point is 00:20:40 On her Twitter. And how can you be mad when she's talking against racist bigots? Well, she was there for 12 years, so I wonder if we'll ever know what happened. But shout out to Basip for that exclusive. Now, is the, is the, is the, is the, can she not talk forever? Is it just for? Yeah, I'm sure forever. Six million, you can't talk forever.
Starting point is 00:20:55 And I don't think she's even allowed to say that she got a buyout. This is just information. She can't say nothing. She's not the one putting it out there. Oh, yeah. I mean, yeah, I saw that everywhere yesterday, though. That she was going, they had to pay for the last two years of her contract. It should be a non-compete where she could
Starting point is 00:21:06 go anywhere she wanted. They got to get rid of the non-compete. Drop one of Clues Bond's with Jemele Hill. She's super talented, so she'll be fine. But I just can't stand these sneaky Trump supporters that be in these networks and be posing as just regular corporate executives, and they really be
Starting point is 00:21:22 trying to kick your back in as soon as you say something bad about their guy. All right, now, let's talk about all these home break-ins all these burglaries in la uh christina million she's one of the latest victims she actually her and her boyfriend were away and the burglar alarm was on so the thieves actually managed to still get in and beat the whole security and the lapdD and all of that. They made off with somewhere between $100,000 and $200,000 worth of things. $100,000 worth of things. I think her boyfriend
Starting point is 00:21:51 is a millionaire. He's pretty rich. Singer-songwriter out in France. Oh, so they're stealing from him. And they live together. I'm just trying to make sure that if I was going to take a penitentiary chance, I don't think Christina Milian would be high on my list. Well, they stole jewelry and watches and they managed to get $100,000 worth of stuff. Let me Google her network.
Starting point is 00:22:08 All right, now Demi Lovato also was almost a victim as well. They said a group of thieves were arrested shortly after news broke that she was out of the hospital and at a rehab facility. Now they're saying that they found electronic communications among this crew of thieves that they were planning to hit up her house while she was away at rehab. Christina Milian got a network of $4.5 million. Okay, I can see they were planning to hit up her house while she was away at rehab. Christina Milian got a net worth of $4.5 million. Okay, I can see why you would try to break her house. Now, Wiz Khalifa also was a victim early Saturday morning. There was fortunately a house sitter that was there to scare off the burglars before they did too much damage, but two men wearing hoodies broke glass and entered his home as
Starting point is 00:22:40 well. They said no property was taken as far as they know. The only damage so far is that broken glass. Demi Lovato got a net worth of $33 million. Wiz Khalifa got a net worth of $45 million. Okay, carry on, burglars. No, don't carry on. Why would you say that? I don't mean it like that, but I'm just saying. That's awful. You're talking in the right people. I got two dogs. I got
Starting point is 00:22:55 another dog now. I'm getting anxiety now. I got another gun. It's crazy. They know that Wiz is on tour, so clearly they're targeting people as soon as they look on social media and see what you're doing. If you're not home, what's a gun gun do? I asked this a few weeks ago, though. Why is it so easy to find celebrities' addresses in L.A.?
Starting point is 00:23:12 It's anywhere. And why do they feel like they can just pull up? It's anywhere. If you have any piece of mail that goes to your house, people can track that. Are people getting arrested for these crimes? Yeah. Actually, with Demi Lovato, the people were arrested. That's how they found out that they were planning to hit up her house because of the electronic communications through the people that were arrested.
Starting point is 00:23:28 All right, now Serena Williams has been banned from wearing her black catsuit at the French Open. They said that it's not acceptable in next year's installment because of a new dress code they've implemented. They also said that Serena's outfit, for example, would no longer be accepted, according to French Tennis Federation president. In an interview with Tennis Magazine, they said that this dress code won't be as strict as Wimbledon, but they
Starting point is 00:23:51 do have some limits. At Wimbledon, you have to wear all white. They said they're looking to deal with collections ahead of next year's tournament. Now, here's what Serena Williams had to say. We already talked, so like I said, we have a great relationship, so we talked yesterday and everything's fine, guys. I've since found other methods,
Starting point is 00:24:11 and when it comes to fashion, you don't want to be a repeat offender, so it'll be a while before this even has to come up again. And what was the reason? The thing is just inappropriate. Garrett said a cat suit, and they felt like it was too tight. But isn't she always wearing tight stuff on the court?
Starting point is 00:24:28 I'm confused. I guess not the leggings and everything. I've never seen that on a... Yeah, and she actually dedicated her outfit when she wore that black cat suit. If you have Revolt TV, you can see it. All the moms out there that had a tough pregnancy and have to come back and try to be fierce in the middle of everything, that's what this represents. You can't beat a cat suit.
Starting point is 00:24:44 I doubt it's a cat suit. It's probably her body that they're afraid of. Right, and Nike actually showed their support. They said you can take the superhero out of her costume, but you can never take away her superpowers. Hashtag just do this. They probably tied this arena period, to be honest with you. Like, man, this black woman has been dominating
Starting point is 00:24:59 our beautiful white sport all these years. That reminds me. Can we please get us a new white champion? Remember the NBA when they banned black sneakers at one time? You could only wear white sneakers and then they started
Starting point is 00:25:08 allowing the players to wear black sneakers? They did that one time. I don't remember that. I don't remember that one. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report.
Starting point is 00:25:15 All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about? We are going to be talking about Jacksonville will tell you the unfortunate situation
Starting point is 00:25:24 that happened in Jacksonville that they are still investigating. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:25:34 We are The Breakfast Club. Has Drake gotten a script of pregnant in New York yet? He's been here all weekend, right? He's been here all week. Not that I know of, but let's get some front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? We're talking about a shooting in Jacksonville. Two people were killed, and then the shooter actually ended up committing suicide
Starting point is 00:25:50 and turning the gun on himself at a video game tournament. This was, like I said, in Jacksonville. Now, it was a Madden tournament, and David Katz is a 24-year-old gamer. He's from Baltimore, Maryland. He was there just for the tournament, and he went and brought a gun into the venue and opened fire. What they're saying is that he was eliminated right before he went and got the gun and killed two other people. The witnesses, who did not want to be identified by name, said that he didn't know the shooter's identity, but that there were multiple guys who were upset at being eliminated from the event.
Starting point is 00:26:22 The whole thing was actually captured on an online stream that was posted on Twitch. Right after the shots were heard, the game abruptly stopped. Damn. And then there was the shooting at the high school in Jacksonville too, right? They said a guy walked up on somebody, shot him in the head, and said, one down, two more to go, and just walked off. Terrible, terrible.
Starting point is 00:26:40 So our condolences to everybody who was affected by these senseless murders. All right, and rest in peace to John McCain. He died at the age of 81. He had been diagnosed with brain cancer, and he just recently decided to stop medical treatment. After a year-long battle, the family said age was a factor in his decision to stop treatment, and he had to pass expectations for survival.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Now, if you guys remember, he actually returned after he returned to do the deciding vote that stopped President Trump's attempt to repeal Obamacare just a week after his brain cancer diagnosis. He had to show up. A lot of times he broke from the Republican ranks when he felt that principle was more important than what party you were tied to. I'm not going to front, man. I like the fact that he's banning Donald Trump from his funeral, but I really was thinking this weekend,
Starting point is 00:27:27 is it better to ban your enemy from your funeral or is it better to record a video of you calling them out and play it at your funeral? Donald Trump probably wasn't going to go anyway. You don't think he'd have pulled up? Ban him? Nah, he wasn't going. Yeah, I don't think he would have. Banning is cool, man.
Starting point is 00:27:41 Imagine just doing one last video at your funeral and just putting them on blast for the world to see, letting the world know how much of an F-boy this man was. I wouldn't even want to give somebody I don't mess with attention at my funeral. Not at the funeral with your family. I'd rather put her in a world star zone. I'd rather say great things to people that I love. I don't want anybody remembering.
Starting point is 00:28:00 I want you to see Barack give this banging-ass eulogy because you'll never get that at yours. And if you have T-Mobile, they reveal that hackers have stolen millions of customers' personal data again. So just letting you guys know, if you have T-Mobile, just make sure that you change whatever passwords that you have. If your social security number was involved, anything like that, credit card information. They said that there was an unauthorized access to certain information. And some people ended up getting that notice to let you know that your information may have been exposed. So just giving you all that heads up if you have T-Mobile.
Starting point is 00:28:31 All right. Well, thank you. That is front page news. Now, let's open up the phone line. Let's have some fun. Let's be a little petty Monday morning. I'm serious because I've really been thinking about this, man. I wonder if it's more fun to ban someone from your funeral or is it better to record a video
Starting point is 00:28:46 or are you calling them out at your funeral? Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Let's be a little petty. Now, if somebody you didn't like comes to your funeral, right, would you rather ban them or give them that last little bit of negativity, pettiness, before
Starting point is 00:29:02 you really, really go. Banning is petty. Right. But recording a video calling them out for bringing a funky ass to your funeral knowing they didn't mess with you
Starting point is 00:29:12 and playing a video at your funeral is another level of petty that's better than Bannon, bro. See, how disrespectful would you get? Super. Donkey of the day
Starting point is 00:29:22 at the funeral. Donkey of the day for whatever day I die. You can't do that, man. Why not? You got kids and family members there, man. And they? Super. Donkey of the day at the funeral. Donkey of the day for whatever day I die. You can't do that, man. Why not? You got kids and family members there, man. And they gonna laugh. They gonna be like, that's my daddy.
Starting point is 00:29:30 That's my daddy. That was my husband right there. People be crying. That was my friend. That's exactly what I expect. Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. How petty would you get?
Starting point is 00:29:40 Would you just ban him? Or would you leave your own video really, really getting in their ass? And John McCain is a special case because Donald Trump is the current sitting president. So imagine he comes there. It's like Donald Trump would never attend the White House correspondents dinner because he don't like to get roasted. But he's at that funeral. John McCain can be
Starting point is 00:29:57 the first person to roast him. He's at the White House correspondents dinner. He can't walk out. He's sitting down. Everybody's dead. That's what I'm saying. Imagine that video. That video would rip at his funeral. Oh, my goodness. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:30:11 Phone lines are wide open. What would you do? How petty would you get? Would you leave a video or would you just ban him? Call us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
Starting point is 00:30:18 It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, rest in peace to Senator McCain. He passed away over the weekend. Yes. Now, Donald Trump is banned from the funeral. Second funeral that Donald Trump's been banned from. He was banned from George Bush's mom's funeral.
Starting point is 00:30:34 What was her name? Barbara Bush. Barbara Bush, yes. And now this one. So Charlamagne thinks that they should unban him. Yeah, I mean, I'm just wondering. I was thinking about it this weekend. I wonder if it's more fun to ban someone from your funeral
Starting point is 00:30:46 or is it better to record a video of you calling them out at your funeral? You know what I'm saying? Like, especially in the case of John McCain. John McCain doesn't like anything about Donald Trump, didn't like Donald Trump's policies, didn't like what he stood for. So imagine Donald Trump showing up to this funeral and getting roasted by John McCain on a video screen. Because you know Donald Trump doesn't go to no White House correspondence dinners.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Right. Because he wants to avoid the roast. John McCain will get that one last chance to roast him in front of the world. I think that would be way more amazing. Okay. See, I'm against that. I just say, you know what? Ban him.
Starting point is 00:31:16 You ain't got to deal with him. You know, you don't want your family to deal with him. You just don't want him near around your family. Like, just keep him and his energy out of my funeral. But banning him is like blocking him from your social media. Don't you want him to see you, Shani? John McCain funeral going to be popping. Popping.
Starting point is 00:31:30 My goodness. Well, of course you know I wouldn't ban somebody from my funeral. First of all, Donald Trump wasn't going to go anyway because I don't think he was too fond of John McCain either. So you could do all that and do the video and for what? I'd rather focus my energy on people that love me and who I love. A celebration of life. I don't want to have anything to do on people that love me and who I love. A celebration of life. I don't want to have anything to do
Starting point is 00:31:47 with people that I didn't mess with in real life. So I'd rather focus on that. There's going to be children, small children there. His kids are going to be there. I'm sure they'd much rather you spend that time and energy on them and people that you care about than someone you don't care about. Why am I even wasting my energy or thought on
Starting point is 00:32:03 anybody that I'm not thinking about? I don't need too much energy. But that's the thing. Exactly. If you know me. When you're alive. If you're, you know, that's energy. When you're alive.
Starting point is 00:32:11 If you're filming something. If you know me and you know my life, then let me do one last video. And I can tell everybody I love them and all that, too. But I can give you a few bars. Like this bum ass Negro going to just pull up to my funeral and sit in the front row and act like he messed with me. We don't mess with you. I feel like you don't even deserve any bars. You don't deserve it.
Starting point is 00:32:30 If you're giving him bars in life, why not give him bars in death? Nah, let him go. Maritza? Yes? What would you do, Maritza? I would definitely just ban him. I would have a funeral guest list. Everybody would know what the guest list was, so they would know that they are not invited, but I wouldn't
Starting point is 00:32:45 even want to have negative energy at my funeral. I'm with you. Thank you, Mama. Dominique. Yes? What would you do, Mama? Oh my gosh, I'm recording the video and then at the end I'm like, put him out! Oh, now that's good. So you're going to record the video and make him thrown out? They're recording the video. I'm recording the video
Starting point is 00:33:02 with names and all, social security numbers, all of that, and I get him out of here. No, that's good. And then after they kick him out and drag him out, be like, now let's party. Turn up. You can't kick the president out, though. Why can't you kick the president out? How are you going to get him out?
Starting point is 00:33:14 Bye. Security. Escort him out. Yes. You think security is going to escort the president out? Yes. Him and Secret Service. You're not wanted here.
Starting point is 00:33:21 Oh, my goodness. And guess what? If you don't leave, the video will just keep going, and I'll just keep talking. My goodness. Thank you, Dominique. Y'all so petty. I like that. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Rest in peace to Senator McCain. He passed away over the weekend. Of course, Donald Trump is banned from his funeral. Charlemagne says, nah, don't ban him. Don't ban him. Do a little video right before he comes. No, record the video. Record the video. In the middle of the before he comes. No, record the video.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Record the video. And in the middle of the funeral, we have John McCain's last words. And John McCain big up his family, throw some balls at Donald Trump. You know what I'm saying? Let him know he's been an F-boy from the start. You know what I'm saying? And that's that. My goodness.
Starting point is 00:33:58 All right. 800-585-1051. What would you do? It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Now, if you just joined us, you should know in front page news, we reported, of course, that Senator McCain passed away over the weekend. And Donald Trump is banned from his funeral. Now, Charlamagne says, well, we shouldn't ban him. That he should actually be allowed in. And McCain should have just left a video just getting at Donald Trump. That's it, man. Like, you know, why ban someone from your funeral?
Starting point is 00:34:28 You know what I'm saying? Like, let them pull up to your social media. I mean, let them pull up to your funeral so they can see you shine. It's just like when you block somebody on social media. When you block somebody on social media, you're stopping them from seeing you shine, bruh, bruh. No, they're not. They're going to make a fake page.
Starting point is 00:34:40 But listen, let them pull up to your funeral, record a video calling them out on all his F-boy antics and then you put him on blast for the world to see because Donald Trump never shows up to White House Correspondents' Deniz because he don't want to get roasted. John McCain will get that chance to do what every comedian has wanted to do since Donald Trump been in the White House. Man, if I don't mess
Starting point is 00:34:57 with you, you just don't exist to me. I'm with you. I ain't mess with you. Don't come to my funeral. But we know that's not true because John McCain used to call Trump out when Trump was alive. That's why I'm saying his case is a special case. You know what I'm saying? This is a chance to put Donald Trump on blast in front of the whole world. All right, well, let's go to the phone lines. Xavier!
Starting point is 00:35:13 What's up, DJ Envy, man? What's up, bro? What's good, baby, man? How you doing, man? Okay. Whoa, whoa. This ain't shoot your shot, bro. You shoot your shot on Tuesday.
Starting point is 00:35:25 You sound like you're trying to jump in Amy Jean's. Yeah, that sounded a little crazy. Y'all remember me? Yeah, we can hear you. Ain't we talking to you? Didn't I just reply to you? Nah, what's up, Charlamagne? Man, you always giving somebody a hard time, man,
Starting point is 00:35:35 but you a tight mother******, man. You got a tight butt? What? Hard times. Nothing but my butt. Oh, so a hard time. Anyway, what are you talking about, sir? Xavier, what would you do, man?
Starting point is 00:35:45 How you doing, Angela Yee? Hey, how are you, sir? Are you going to answer the question? No sexiness for you, Yee. I wouldn't deal with that, man. I would just ban him or just record that s***. Yeah, I ain't got time to deal with no beef or nothing. I ain't got time for that, man.
Starting point is 00:36:00 You'd be dead. You know what, Doc? You definitely have no time. You're not going to let them jokes fly one last time in the funeral? No slander? You can't let that chopper fly with some slander one last time? Doc! Good morning, good morning, good morning.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Doc, turn your radio down, bro. What would you do, Doc? I don't think, really, you could make that decision unless you make it right in your wills before you die. You know, not too many of us black people write in wills before we pass away. You got to pre-plan it. That's what we're saying. Would you pre-plan it? If you know you was about to die, you had cancer or something like McCain,
Starting point is 00:36:30 would you record it beforehand so when he got there, you gave him that ether? John McCain has banned Donald Trump from his funeral, sir. On that note, I don't think I would have to do it because my people's already going to hold me down. They'll be looking forward to it. What, you going to jump the president, man? Yes. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:48 If need be. Goodbye, man. You can't jump the president. Christina. Hey. Hey, mama. What would you do now? If I was a part of that funeral, I would invite Trump there,
Starting point is 00:36:58 and I would put him on the fourth row, in the middle of the row, between all of the praying church ladies so he can't get out and I would roast him. Definitely. Let me ask you a question. Why won't he be able to get out with all the praying church ladies? Come on, Charlamagne. You know you from the south. I'm just making sure I ain't the only
Starting point is 00:37:18 petty person in here. So all the praying church ladies is over 300 pounds is what you're telling me. There you go. Wow. Get out. My goodness. I'm not having that.
Starting point is 00:37:28 I mean, okay. All right. Thank you, mama. You're right. What's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is rest in petty, god damn it. Okay? I'm not banning you from my funeral.
Starting point is 00:37:35 I want you to pull up to my funeral so I can play this video of me roasting your bum ass one last time and letting the world know that you was never nothing. All right? Let the world know the truth. You don't want me to shine. You study never nothing. All right? Let the world know the truth. You don't want me to shine. You study my rhymes. All right? That's what I would do.
Starting point is 00:37:49 And drop one of Clues Mom's for Fendi because I keep thinking about Fendi for some reason this morning. What Fendi? Fendi, man. Fendi, um...
Starting point is 00:37:54 Fabs manager? Yes, because Fendi posted one time a long time ago. Fendi said, I just pulled up to one of my biggest haters' funeral
Starting point is 00:38:01 to make sure he was dead. Oh my gosh. He took a picture at the funeral. I shouldn't do that. And I just always, I'm thinking about that. I don't want somebody
Starting point is 00:38:10 that enjoys the fact that I'm dead. You know what I mean? But that's the reason you got to do a video. My goodness. Because imagine if somebody would have did a video
Starting point is 00:38:16 and called Fendi out. I don't know what you here for, Fendi. You know we didn't get along. That's what you got to do. My goodness. I'd be like, well, I really affected
Starting point is 00:38:23 that person. Job done. My goodness. Mission accomplished. We got rumors on the way. They're dead and they're still thinking about me. that's what you gotta do I've been like well I really affected that person job done my goodness mission accomplished we got rumors on the way they're dead and they're still thinking about me
Starting point is 00:38:29 yes let's talk about apologies find out what apology just happened over the weekend that should have been a long time coming now pay that man
Starting point is 00:38:38 his money alright we'll get into all that when we come back keep it locked it's the Breakfast Club good morning morning everybody it's DJ Envy Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha God.
Starting point is 00:38:46 We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Birdman. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. Listen up. Well, there was a lot of activity over the weekend as far as performances and concerts and events.
Starting point is 00:39:05 But Weezyana Fest was in New Orleans on Saturday. And Birdman was on stage with Lil Wayne. And this happened. I knew this day was going to come, but I didn't know when it was going to come. But this is the right show. And I wanted to apologize to my world wide to let them know that. That put his life in my hands. And I'm going to keep it real with that d***. We're going to do this d*** until the day we die.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Yeah, I mean, the apology, cool, but where my money at, though? Can I get my money? You know, him and Wayne then perform Still Fly, so I guess the two of them are working on things between them. You know, Wayne has two Birdman and Cash money for $51 million, and we, of course, would love for him to get his money. And also,
Starting point is 00:39:47 The Carter V, that album still hasn't been released and it was recorded back in 2014. So, what's going to happen with that? Is that music still
Starting point is 00:39:54 going to be able to be put out now? I mean, it's actually kind of a, I'm not going to say an easy fix because I don't know the business,
Starting point is 00:39:59 but just let Wayne get everything from the Carter. Like, don't let nobody else get any of the money. Like, Birdman don't get none of that. I think he wants more than that.
Starting point is 00:40:06 I think he deserves more than that. That's a start. A start. A start. Yeah. I don't know if it's like an ego thing. What is happening? But at least the two of them are on stage together.
Starting point is 00:40:16 And we keep seeing them places together. But then something else happens. And since you're apologizing to Wayne, can we get an apology then? Because... He's not sorry to us. Technically, he was upset because I used to always say, why would somebody sign the Birdman? Shalami, how does this turn into something about you?
Starting point is 00:40:30 Can him and Wayne be on stage together? Because technically I said, why would you sign the Birdman knowing he don't pay people, especially after what he did to Wayne? So if you're mad about that, but you apologize to Wayne, they're acknowledging you did something wrong. This is not even... The Birdman is going to do a video. He doesn't want you at his funeral. Apologizing to Wayne is acknowledging you did to Wayne. This ain't about you, Charlamagne. We're acknowledging you did something wrong. This is not even... Hold on, hold on. The Birdman is going to do a video. He doesn't want you at his funeral.
Starting point is 00:40:47 Apologizing to Wayne is acknowledging you did something wrong, right? Right. All right, then. So you can't be mad at the people who called you out on that. Well, he called me and apologized to me. He apologized to Yee. Oh, well, I'm blocked on this Twitter. Then you're still blocked.
Starting point is 00:40:59 I'm fine with that. But Charlamagne wants an apology as well. No, I don't. I really... You just said that. I was joking, Yee. Oh, gosh. I thought you were very serious. No, I could care less. Can you please apologize to Charlamagne wants an apology as well. No, I don't. I really... You just said that. I was joking. Oh, gosh. I thought you were very serious.
Starting point is 00:41:07 No. Can you please apologize to Charlamagne? No. All right. Faison Love is being sued by his ex-personal assistant, Tashiana Luke.
Starting point is 00:41:15 She is saying that he was making unwanted sexual advances toward her. She actually got hired in June 9th of 2016 and quit two weeks later. She said that he would send video. He sent her a video showing a young woman performing oral sex on him
Starting point is 00:41:29 and said, what do you think? And that he would regularly say things like, your ass looks nice in those pants, and also say, you know you need your tuition paid, saying that she should perform sexual favors for him. Why do I feel like we asked him about that? In return for employment. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:42 So now she's suing him for that. So after 17 days of working there, it came to an end. All right. Now, Drake and Migos, they've been in New York. And on Saturday was day two of their four days at the Garden. And then I believe they have three more shows out here. I think they got eight shows in total, I thought they had in the area. Oh, I thought it was seven.
Starting point is 00:42:00 But, yeah, I'm not sure the number. But they have a lot. And I heard they're all sold out. Mm-hmm. But the Migos brought out Cardi B. She had her first performance since having a baby for day two of their seven night New York tour. Yeah, seven nights New York tour run. And she did motorsport.
Starting point is 00:42:16 So it was a lot of energy in the building for that. All right. And Life Jennings. There's all kinds of drama going on with him and one of his children's mothers. Now he posted, this is the ish I gotta deal with, lying to your own son. This is child abuse. Pathetic when you try to tear your own son down to make yourself feel better and sent this to me. Worst mother ever.
Starting point is 00:42:36 And this isn't the first time my little man should have better than this. I'm effing shaking. I'm so mad right now. I would never do that. Don't ever do this to a child. And here's the video he posted. I'm sorry, daddy said he got five other kids. He don't want you. I would never do that. Don't ever do this to a child. And here's the video he posted. I'm sorry. Daddy said he got five other kids.
Starting point is 00:42:47 He don't want you. That's what he said. He said he got five other kids. So he don't care. So he left. So you just want to hang out with mommy? Don't make your child feel terrible just because you don't get along with the dad. Daddy don't want you.
Starting point is 00:43:00 That's crazy. That sounds crazy. I mean, did life actually say that, though? Even if he did say that, you shouldn't say that to your kid. If it's the truth, you got to tell the truth about daddy and around, right? Well, you see, he's really mad and he's shaking and he's saying this is child abuse. Who's saying it's child abuse? Life? Life, Dennis.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Oh, yeah, because I'm sure life probably didn't say anything like that. Now, if you're just saying that to the kid because you want the kid to be mad at the father, then that is definitely child abuse. But even if the dad said that, I wouldn't tell that to a kid. That makes a kid feel terrible for the rest of their life to feel like they're abandoned by their dad. And like they did something wrong. Your daddy don't want you. How old is the kid?
Starting point is 00:43:32 Oh, I'm not sure. Is he like a baby? Is he like older or what? I have no idea. Well, she said, I'll play with you. So it makes it seem like he was a lot younger. I would rather know the truth about why my father's not there. Nah, but you know, your dad might say something just to spite the mom or be
Starting point is 00:43:45 upset with the mom. You don't want that out there. That has lifelong effects on how a child thinks about themselves, too. You don't want to ever make a child feel that they're not loved. I mean, the dad might, you know, be beef with the mom. Like, I don't want to hang out with him anyways today. You know, you never know what a person, like, I wouldn't put that energy out there. Not for that kid. Not at that age. Not at any age.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Alright, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. If it's older, if the kid is older. You have a big announcement. Yeah, if the kid older. Yeah. Why is Daddy not around? He don't like you. All right.
Starting point is 00:44:11 Well, now we have a major announcement about to happen. And Donkey today. Why don't y'all tell me about the major announcement? We're going to tell you right now. Tell you right now. Let's play Top It Out and we'll do it. Why do I got to? You got to wait.

Starting point is 00:49:46 You may not know who Anthony is, but Anthony is a 26-year-old man who this weekend decided to go to Beyonce and Jay-Z's On The Run Tour 2 show. Now, it's a lot of things that people think of doing at Beyonce and Jay-Z shows, but being on stage is not one of them. Now, I know if you're an aspiring singer or rapper, you look at that stage and you say to yourself, that's going to be me up there one day. Let your Uncle Charlotte be the first to tell
Starting point is 00:50:08 you, no, it won't be. F your dreams when they are not your dreams. Beyonce and Jay-Z are Beyonce and Jay-Z once in a lifetime talents and you, my friend, are not that. Now, you may be on a stage one day, but you will never be Beyonce and Jay-Z. That's just a scientific fact.
Starting point is 00:50:24 But we're not here to talk about that, all right? We're here to discuss Anthony Charles Maxwell, all right, deciding he needed to be on that stage with Beyonce and Jay-Z. Now, if you watch the video, which is online right now, you see a man who is overwhelmed with a sense of entitlement, a man whose cup of privilege runneth over so much that he decided to jump on stage as the carters were walking off and he rushed them both let's go to cbs2ny for the report please crazed fan tried to go on the run
Starting point is 00:50:50 during the couple's concert in atlanta beyonce and jay-z were walking off stage when the man in a white jersey started chasing them police say he approached jay-z and made contact with them but that's when back of dancers and security stepped in and managed to subdue the man. A spokesperson says Beyonce and Jay-Z, they are fine. That fan has now been charged with simple battery and disorderly conduct. Now, I've seen Beyonce's dancers get in formation for various things,
Starting point is 00:51:16 but I've never seen them get in formation to fight. Now, they were just a little slow to react because I think everyone was initially shocked, but boy, when they rushed that young man, it was some synchronized stomping going on. I'm sure of it. And if anyone ever deserved to get their ass kicked, it was Anthony Maxwell. I'm gonna be honest with you.
Starting point is 00:51:31 I think he should have been shot. Alright? Not killed, just a little leg shot or something. Alright? The stage is like your house. That should be a safe space for artists. I should be allowed to stand my ground on that stage. So if you bring your monkey ass up here with any ruckus, and I got armed security on that stage, pow! Close-range gunshot to the leg so nobody else gets hit.
Starting point is 00:51:50 All right? F that. Anthony needs to learn that it's the on-the-run-too-tour, not the on-the-run-on-the-stage-tour. Okay, I am sick and tired of people just doing things for the sake of doing things. All right? My thing is this. Anthony, what was your plan? Okay, I love the 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. And Law 29 and the 48 Laws of Power simply says plan all the way to the end.
Starting point is 00:52:10 The ending is everything. Plan all the way to it. Taking into account all the possible consequences, obstacles, and twists of fortune that might reverse your hard work and give the glory to others. By planning to the end, you will not be overwhelmed by circumstances and you will know when to stop. Gently guide fortune and help determine the future by thinking far ahead. Key word thinking. Anthony, if you had thought about this law or knew about this law
Starting point is 00:52:34 and ran this law through your brain just once, if you'd have thought about it just once, you wouldn't have even jumped on that stage because there was no reason for it. You're not going to sit here and make me believe that getting attacked by the beehive on stage is fun. All right, Anthony, you experienced on that stage what poor Carrie Hilson experiences on social media
Starting point is 00:52:50 at the hands of the beehive. Send out a tweet, all right? Any of y'all, send out a tweet right now saying something negative about Blue Ivy, and I guarantee you, you'll get swarmed by the beehive the way Anthony got swarmed by the beehive from running on the stage at that concert. All right, Anthony, Dr Doctor Strange saw 14 million outcomes
Starting point is 00:53:05 for you on that stage, and none of them ended well. Did you expect J&B to invite you to come have dinner with them and the twins? And where the hell was Ty Ty at with the pepper spray? And where was Julius? I done seen Beyonce and J in one too many situations, and Julius
Starting point is 00:53:21 is never nowhere to be found. At some point, Julius is gonna have to bust somebody's head. If not, I'm going to start thinking he's only around because he's trying to start a sneaky modeling career. But back to Anthony, all right? He was written up for a police citation for disorderly conduct, and according to a statement from the on-the-run tutor, the Carters will not be pressing charges.
Starting point is 00:53:41 And I don't know why not. As much as white people press charges on black people for every little petty thing, why are we letting this white man slide? I don't call that being racist. I call it revenge. Please give Anthony Charles Thomas Maxwell the biggest hee-haw. Oh, he ain't white. Never mind.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Whoops. I didn't know what he was. He's a other. He definitely checked other on the census. This guy is crazy. You know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry, white people. I'm just, I'm no.
Starting point is 00:54:15 There I go being racist again. This guy. It's okay, Steve. But you understand why I would feel that way, right? Oh, my goodness. All right. All right. Thank you for that kind of donkey today.
Starting point is 00:54:25 What is Anthony? Other. He's definitely a other, right? We don't know. I still press charges on him. He look crazy. Alright, when we come back, Roland Martin will be joining us. Yes. We'll kick it with Roland Martin. To the people that don't know who Roland Martin is, explain. Roland Martin
Starting point is 00:54:44 is a political I Roland Martin is a political I would call him a political pundit. A political commentator. You know, he used to have a show on TV One. Yeah, but that show got canceled, but he's got a new TV show that he's coming out with. What do y'all call it, a TV show? Yeah, it's a TV show, but I think it's going to be online.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Yeah. It's an online show. Yes. Alright. When we come back, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:55:15 We got a special guest in the building. Yes, sir. The good brother. Roland Martin. Hey, hey. What's happening, my brother? Glad to be back. How are you, Jess, doing?
Starting point is 00:55:22 How's everything with you? Bless black and highly favored, sir. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that. How did the passing of Aretha Franklin affect you? Because I know y'all was friends. It was, well, it was hard because I had known her health was on the decline. And then I had known 10 days before the story came out that she was going to die.
Starting point is 00:55:41 I was in Detroit. I was in Detroit for the National Association of Black Journalists Convention. And so I found out on August 3rd that she was getting hospice care that Monday. And you know, it was and I also had known for months because
Starting point is 00:55:57 the last time we had communicated was on March 17th. We would text back and forth and so we had texted. She said, you've got to remember something about gumbo. So for four months, I sent her a picture of a bowl of gumbo I was eating on Thanksgiving. And she was like, oh, man, that gumbo. And then when my parents came to visit me in Virginia,
Starting point is 00:56:16 I had live streamed this gumbo we made on Christmas. Then we had called her and we had talked to her. And so for four months, every time she texted me, she would talk, something else. Yeah, Saturday here, Dennis Edward dies. Don't you forget about that gumbo.
Starting point is 00:56:30 Why you ain't getting the gumbo? Did you get it? No, no, no. So I was going to Detroit the following week for our NABJ board meeting. It was March 24th, whatever that weekend.
Starting point is 00:56:39 And I was either going to bring the gumbo, ship it, or I was going to fly my parents to the house and actually cook it there. And that weekend, she went to the hospital because she was dehydrated. She wasn't drinking enough water.
Starting point is 00:56:50 And that was the last time we communicated. Wow. And so I text her, and I pulled up. I text her in April and May and June, and she never responded. And it never happened. So Queen might respond a couple days later but for her not to respond that's what i knew her health was in decline so it was tough because it was and the thing is you know she would just call we just talk about stuff i remember dude it was like 12 30 at
Starting point is 00:57:16 night and you can't tell a queen of soul okay queen i'm asleep so you know can i call you in the morning no you don't you know so you I don't know how long she going to talk. So, she can run for like 20 minutes. And so, you know, like you just stay up and go to sleep when you get done. But you appreciate those calls now, though. Oh, yeah. No, but it was always great, too. Because, like, I never called Aretha.
Starting point is 00:57:39 I always called Queen. And so, yeah, she would just text. She would just call. And then when she was canceling concerts, I think it was in November, I would hit her and I was like, hey, you okay? How's your health? Everything good? Oh, the dude, you know, she would always, you know, I'm just trying to get my strength back,
Starting point is 00:57:54 getting better. And she would tell me, but here's the deal, she never complained. She never talked about that she had pancreatic cancer. She was very private about it. So it was just great that we would just talk about, you know, she couldn't stand Trump. And so she'd talk about what the hell is he doing to this country
Starting point is 00:58:09 and stuff along those lines. So it was always great. And, yeah, it was weird to sit here. And, again, you'd just be sitting there talking, and all of a sudden your phone would ring. And, like, did Rita Franklin just call me? Wow. You know, and just having a regular conversation.
Starting point is 00:58:24 How did y'all meet? Like, what was... 2007, she sent an email to my agent's office, Mark Watts, and just complimenting on my work.
Starting point is 00:58:32 And Mark said, hey, Roley, we just got this email from somebody saying it was from Aretha Franklin. Well, about 20 minutes later, they called to confirm we got the email.
Starting point is 00:58:43 And he had sent me another email. Uh, you remember holding that email, that email. And he had sent me another email. You remember holding that email. That was actually Aretha Franklin. That was real. That was real. That was in 2007 because she was on CNN.
Starting point is 00:58:59 So in 2008, February 2008, I'm in L.A. for the Image Awards. And she had gotten a special Image Award that year. She was in concert. So we go to the concert. Man, we sitting. It was a Nokia, whatever they play, LA Live, whatever it was. So we at the concert. Then when it was over, I was like, what the hell?
Starting point is 00:59:13 Let's go backstage, see if we can meet Aretha Franklin. I'm like, she sent me this email last year. Let's talk our way back. Let's see if it works. So we go back, man. And so her guy sees me. He said, oh, absolutely. I told the queen.
Starting point is 00:59:23 He said, stay in line. And it's all kind of people back there. I swear it took us an hour and a half to get to the dressing room. Wow. It was definitely people who were back there. Just to meet her? Yeah, just to meet her. So we finally got in, and she goes, why didn't you tell someone that you were here?
Starting point is 00:59:35 She says, I would have acknowledged you from the stage. I was like, we just came here for the concert. I mean, we don't need to hear you sing. And we're back there, and she loved Pink's Hot Dog. Pink's Hot Dog. She was handing out Pink's Hot Dog to the audience. What is Pink's Hot Dog? Pink's Hot Dog is like this cult.
Starting point is 00:59:55 It is a cult thing in L.A. Okay. The queen has got on this long gown. She's performing with a pink hat. No. Aretha Franklin did not care. And we're just back there just talking and everything and taking pictures. And so when she performed at Essence, you know, I go backstage.
Starting point is 01:00:13 And this is the craziest thing that's actually happened. So Tuesday I get a phone call. Roland, Aretha. I'm like, hey, Queen, how you doing? She said, oh, we're on the bus, you know, because she didn't fly. So they were driving to Vegas. She said, well, you know, I'm on the bus driving to Vegas. I got a question for you. I'm like, yeah, queen, what's up? She says, I need you to be
Starting point is 01:00:27 honest. How did my set sound? Okay, this is the queen of soul. Right, right, right. Now mind you, so this is me. I'm like, how in the hell am I supposed to answer this question? And so she said, no, no, no. I want you to be honest. How did the sound sound? I was like,
Starting point is 01:00:44 well, you have to be honest, it was muffled. We were sitting on the third row, and it was some issues with the speakers, and we were all kind of like, yo, what's up with the speakers? And we didn't know what was going on. She says, you know, I thought of something. Listen to the playback. Let me call you back. I need to fire the audio engineer.
Starting point is 01:01:00 And I'm like. Damn, Roland, oh, because you got a tall guy. And again. She needed somebody to be honest with her And she just said But again, okay But Aretha Franklin says Be honest, how did I sound?
Starting point is 01:01:12 You said you sounded fine But the audio engineer Was like He's like Queen, you were great But and so Dude, it was I mean, that's how
Starting point is 01:01:18 I mean, so she would do that But she also Here's what they do She was amazingly loyal So she comes to D.C. And I couldn't be I had back-to-back speeches She would do that, but she also, here's what they do. She was amazingly loyal. So she comes to D.C., and I couldn't be there. I had back-to-back speeches. I couldn't go.
Starting point is 01:01:32 My nieces, two of my nieces, they said, who were living with us, they wanted to meet Aretha Franklin. Okay, so she sent side tickets for my wife and my two nieces. So when my speech was over, I hit my wife. I'm like, yo, how did it go? How did the girls like meet the queen? She said, well, we didn't get a chance to. I was like, what happened? She says, well, Michelle Obama and Eric Holder
Starting point is 01:01:46 showed up at the concert, and then they went backstage, and Secret Service cleared everybody out. And then we couldn't, we couldn't, we were trying to call, I think it was either her grandson or her son. So the next day, my phone rang. Roland, Aretha, what happened to your nieces?
Starting point is 01:02:03 I said, well, here's what happened. She says, let me call you back. She calls me back. She called whether her son or grandson. She didn't fire her son down. And cussed them out. And told me, she said, let me tell you something. And when I tell you to bring somebody and you take care of them,
Starting point is 01:02:20 you have to take care of them. I don't care if the first lady or the attorney general is backstage. I don't care if there's secret service. She went off on him and do that to hit me and apologize. Wow. And so, like, New Year's Eve, man, she sent me, I posted this on Instagram. She sent me this email, bro. I'm trying to pull it up right now.
Starting point is 01:02:39 This was 1043 p.m. on December 31st. Roland Martin, you are one of the baddest brothers out here. You kicked A so bad on MSNBC. Read a history book and broke it down to his most minute. He didn't even have any business talking to you. He's going to duck every time he sees you. Happy Happens of New Year's. Isn't there a conspiracy against the baddest bros?
Starting point is 01:03:03 What do you think? And then she types in Cornel West. And then what do you see? Rolling. I can't bring it up. Another way. The gumbo.
Starting point is 01:03:13 She types in all caps. Right here. It says all caps. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just want to say, that's how you pay homage to Aretha Franklin, Madonna. Okay?
Starting point is 01:03:21 That's how you celebrate VMAs. That's how you celebrate a woman of that stature. You don't have a person come out there and talk about they self for six minutes. That's her. Look, she invited me to birthday parties. Hence deal.
Starting point is 01:03:36 So one year, she goes, Roland, why we not at my birthday party? And something happened, and I didn't get the invite. And I said, Queen, I didn't know because I didn't get the invite. And I said, well, Queen, I didn't know because I didn't get an invite. So she turns to the person. How is it he did not get the invite to my birthday party?
Starting point is 01:03:52 This is not going to happen next year. And I'm standing there like, could I just step away from this moment right here? Because I ain't trying to be in this moment right now. It was sort of like, if I invited you, I expected you to be at my birthday party. So I don't care how you got to be there. And that's how I got that video of her scatting and then singing Happy Birthday to herself.
Starting point is 01:04:12 Wow. And so she started, this was four years ago, her 72nd birthday. So she grabbed the microphone, and I had a Canon PowerShot camera. I was like, I got to get this damn video. And here's what I don't have because I was on the dance floor. I taught the queen of soul how to do the Cupid shuffle.
Starting point is 01:04:31 Did you really? And I'm like, this was in 2012 at a birthday party and I've been like, when you shooting the video, I'm like trying to find somebody who was
Starting point is 01:04:39 shooting the video. I'm going to call her PR bro. I'm like, Gwendolyn, I know somebody shot the video. Wow. Because the song came on
Starting point is 01:04:44 and I was like, I'm like, queen, come on. She said, I don't know how to do that. I'm like, I teach howlyn, I know somebody shot the video. Wow. Because the song came on, and I was like, Queen, come on. She said, I don't know how to do that. I'm like, I teach how to do the Cupid Shuffle. And we're on the dance floor, and Todd do the Cupid Shuffle. Alright, we got more with Roland Martin when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. E-J-M-V-Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:04:59 We have Roland Martin in the building. Charlamagne? There is no energy around the midterm elections, it seems. I mean, it never really is. It never really seems like it. But I would think that it would be this year. Oh, no, it is. No, no, no. I mean, Reverend William Barber, he just called me last night. They're about to embark on their 26th state. Latasha Brown, they've been on a bus tour as we speak. They've been going through Georgia. They're going to the Delta. They've been hitting all these small towns. And see, that's what's happening. See, the difference now, what has happened is,
Starting point is 01:05:27 and black folks have really just figured this out, is that for a long time you have the campaigns, they would wait for the candidate to then put together the plan. Folks are like, you know, we can't wait on that. And so, what they're doing is, they're doing these things, but they're not getting cable news attention.
Starting point is 01:05:43 And see, this is also why the digital show matters. So Doug Jones, all these people were hyped. They were like, oh, my God, look what happened to Doug Jones. And so guess what? They got they got DeJuana Watson on the air and Latasha Brown on the air. Adrian Shropshire on the air after the election. Everybody loves you after the fact. Look at the brother, Justin Fairfax, when he was running for a Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor in Virginia, the Democrats wouldn't even let him speak at the state convention.
Starting point is 01:06:10 I put him on the show, called him out. They backed down. They apologized to him. I put him on the air two times before the election. He wins. Guess what happens? All these shows, CNN is calling, MSNBC is calling. Oh, we want you on the show. He tells his people. He says, my first post-election national interview is going to be with Roland Martin. All right. As it should be. And he comes on and says it on the air.
Starting point is 01:06:37 He said, I'm not here just because you're my fraternity brother and Alpha and we in the boule together. He said, you put me on when they wouldn't take my phone call. He said, and I got to repay that. And so that's also why we've got to have our own platforms because get those voices on before the election. We got to do that with musicians too. Like they'll run to that mainstream platform.
Starting point is 01:07:00 100%. As soon as their record break, they'll run to that mainstream platform. You got to call them out. No, bro, you got to call them out. Actors, actress call them out. No, bro, you got to call them out. Actors, actresses, everybody. No, no, you got to call them out. Because, and let me tell you, I don't play that.
Starting point is 01:07:10 And I got a serious problem when black folks, to your point, when they blow up, act like you don't exist. That's right. And I'll jam people up because you have to. You got to check some people because they will forget real fast. But when they get in trouble, all of a sudden they rediscover your number. Yeah, it's interesting because they don't realize how disposable they are to white people.
Starting point is 01:07:32 You know what I'm saying? You'd be gone real quick. And I'll tell you, I've had to do that. This happened twice. So Khaled Muhammad, when he was a national spokesman for the Nation of Islam, he was coming to Fort Worth. He got suspended by Minister Farrakhan.
Starting point is 01:07:48 And I knew he was from Houston. I'm from Houston as well. And so I'm doing a story on him and I'm asking him these questions and he's what's up with all these personal questions? You know, he starts going off. Now, normally the person you're interviewing would say, let's go off the record. I said, let's go off the record.
Starting point is 01:08:04 Man, I cussed him out. I said, I don't know who the hell you think you talk to. I said, man, the white folks at this newspaper don't give a damn about you. I said, they got you out looking like you're a doggone devil and a demon. I said, I'm trying to make you look like a human being. What's your story? What's your background? I said, now, you ain't got to talk to me.
Starting point is 01:08:18 I said, ain't nobody else calling you. That's right. I said, so what you want to do? He said, we can go back on the record. From that point to the moment he died, he told his people, whenever he calls, you put his call through. Wow. When I was in Houston, Lee Brown, first black mayor of Houston. I'm running the Houston Defender, the biggest black newspaper in Houston.
Starting point is 01:08:38 He goes to South Africa. He don't talk to us before he goes to South Africa. He goes to South Africa. He brings like three or four security guards come back. The media is killing him. They spent 70 grand on security, whatever. So I get a phone call from his chief of staff. Hey, Roland, we would love to come out of paper and talk about a trip and the importance of trade in South Africa.
Starting point is 01:09:00 You know, because you see we're getting all this pushback. I say, OK. And I say, you done? He goes, yeah. I go, Lee Brown. Hey. I said, y'all didn't call us before you went. But now you calling me to bail your ass out.
Starting point is 01:09:16 Damn right. When white media kicking your behind. I said, so here's what's going to happen. I'm going to go on TV this Sunday and I'm going to kick your ass. I said, y'all going to learn. Don't you disrespect black media and only call me to kick your ass. I said, y'all going to learn, don't you disrespect black media, and only call me when we bail you out. I was like, do you understand?
Starting point is 01:09:29 Click. That's it. And they were like, Roland, did you just say, the first black man in Houston? Yes, because he didn't respect the black newspaper. That's real. And I said, as a managing editor, I'm not going to let you disrespect us. After that, they were straight.
Starting point is 01:09:46 I want to ask you about Omarosa. Because somebody asked me a question, and I said hell no to the answer. But is it possible that Omarosa could have been the spook who sat by the door? Here's the deal. She's just like Trump. We're living in a reality show world. And her deal is, I'm going to get mine. She's trying to sell a book. No, not to sell a book, is I'm going to get mine. She's trying to sell a book. No, not just sell a book, but I'm going to
Starting point is 01:10:08 get mine. Their relationship is transactional. Look, here's what everybody forgets. People dog Omarosa, but guess what? Omarosa has done literally 20 reality shows. For everybody who hates
Starting point is 01:10:24 Omarosa, I just want y'all to just step back. She's damn near done 20 reality shows. I just want it for everybody who hate Omarosa. I just want y'all to just step back, just step back. She's damn done 20 reality shows. She's been in the game 15 years. You can hate her all you want to, but she's still in the game. She parlays that into this position in the White House. Okay. So boom, boom, they run out, get fired. People were blowing me up.
Starting point is 01:10:47 Man, I ain't buying a book, it's trash. Guess what? It's number one, New York Times bestseller list. And so what she's now done is she's like, Trump, you ain't Lord of nobody. I'm watching you throw airbags under the bus. Well, guess what? I done beat your ass to the bus. I'm about to throw you under the bus. Because I'm tap airbags under the bus. Well, guess what? I done beat your ass to the bus.
Starting point is 01:11:06 I'm about to throw you under the bus. Because I'm taping everybody on the bus. And that's so when she did an interview, she said, Donald Trump, you've met your match. He has. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here's the thing. Omarosa don't care. So people say, Trump say whatever he wants to.
Starting point is 01:11:22 So does she. That's a fact. And she's like, oh, I got more recordings. And then she drop another tape that makes him look out to be a liar. And so she's like waiting, like, go ahead and lie. Go ahead and lie. And here's another one. But here's the other thing.
Starting point is 01:11:37 What have they refuted? Nothing. Yeah. So I'm just watching. So again, you can despise Omarosa all you want to. Did Sean Spicer have the number one book of the New York Times bestseller list? Nope. He only sold 6,000 for us a week.
Starting point is 01:11:52 Omarosa sold 35,000. That's the game. There you go. We live in a reality show world. And her deal is, I'm going to get as much as I can as fast as I can. Well, I will look forward to this new show. Absolutely, man. You just got to step with what we're talking about.
Starting point is 01:12:08 Your voice is so necessary, man. Yeah, absolutely. September 4th, and I'm sure you'll check in before that to remind people that it's on. Oh, absolutely, absolutely.

Starting point is 01:12:46 Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Now, Missy Elliott wrote a letter to Aaliyah that was for the anniversary of her passing away on August 25th. Now, she posted, Aaliyah, baby girl, I can only imagine how great you would be
Starting point is 01:13:01 today winning Oscars and creating music that would be in the year 2050 and setting all kind of fashion trends, all the things you did while you were here with us. But most of all, spreading love is what you always were about. Your fans have worked diligently in holding you down. Your mom and brother are keeping your legacy alive. We miss you. And to those who knew you or your music, know that you will always be one in a million.
Starting point is 01:13:21 Rest peacefully, Angel Baby Girl. Yeah, man. What if suck? You know what I'm saying? Like when you like, what if she wouldn't die? What if like, oh man, that's the worst. Rest in peace to her. Queen Latifah replied to the post also and wrote, Miss, you already know.
Starting point is 01:13:34 Now, Queen Latifah also hosted Black Girls Rock, and I actually went to the taping. It's going to air on September 9th. Okay. But Janet Jackson was honored at the Black Girls Rock Awards, and Lena Waithe got an award as well. I loved her speech. When you guys watch it September 9th, you'll see what she had to say about cutting off her hair.
Starting point is 01:13:50 And just being iconic in this business already. Naomi Campbell got the Black Girl Magic Award. Judith Jamison got an award also for being a living legend for her work in dance and choreography. I'm trying to remember. Mary J. Blige got her Star Power Award also. So you guys will love the show. Just make sure you tune in. Who introduced Lena?
Starting point is 01:14:12 Was it Ava? Yes, Ava DuVernay. Wait, was it Ava DuVernay? I'm trying to remember. But I thought that was dope because she used to actually be a PA for Ava, I think, back in the day. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:14:22 Yeah. That would be dope. Yeah, you guys got to watch it September 9th. You are absolutely gonna love it. It was phenomenal. Alright, and Demi Lovato, her drug dealer is the person that is saying now that
Starting point is 01:14:36 he is not responsible for her overdose. He said that they did drugs together many times and also had a sexual relationship. Here's what he had to say to TMZ. I think it's important that we know, like, did she know what she was taking? 100% she knew what she was taking. I disclosed to her that these are not, you know, pharmaceutical.
Starting point is 01:14:54 They're, you know, aftermarking pills. You know, they're much stronger. She understood fully. Now, Demi Lovato's sources are denying that there was any sexual relationship at all. Why is a drug dealer giving interviews? That is crazy.
Starting point is 01:15:09 What era do we live in when a drug dealer is giving an interview? And why is TMZ interviewing him? Shouldn't TMZ be held responsible? Shouldn't we lock him up? Exactly, because if you're talking to the actual drug dealer
Starting point is 01:15:20 shouldn't you be sending that information over to the police? Well, the police can see it because clearly it's posted so maybe this will do something. Oh, so it's video too? Yeah, it's video. Oh, he's an idiot. So we interview drug dealers, we don't lock them up now? He might not be the drug dealer. He might just want attention. You guys just heard the audio
Starting point is 01:15:31 of him talking. I don't think a real drug dealer would do that, but this is 2018. Alright, well his name is Brandon Johnson. And he got his name? Yeah. This is crazy. Oh my god. And you got people out here getting conspiracy charges for just knowing drug dealers and Brandon Johnson is doing interviews and he's not getting locked up? I mean, he's talking about everything, about them freebasing together,
Starting point is 01:15:48 how she called him, told him to come over. He knew that it meant she wanted some drugs. So, yeah. I'm calling that one right now. I can't imagine why he's not arrested yet. All right, and a fan threw an object on stage at Sway Lee. I guess it was a cell phone. And his lip got all busted.
Starting point is 01:16:02 Here's what happened. I heard of this. Threw a phone on stage. Yeah. F*** my whole lip up. I ain't never thought I would have to sue a fan. I'm about to start to sue a fan. Yeah, it even chipped his tooth, he said.
Starting point is 01:16:13 Yeah, he said, my lip is effed up. This dumbass girl threw a phone on stage like a baseball. Y'all got to have more common sense than that. My ish is effed. Might miss a few days of tour. See, man, this is what I'm talking about. I'm telling you, the stage should be a safe space for all this. These fans should be able
Starting point is 01:16:27 to get really, get beat up really bad, really shot something the same way you can protect your home. Really shot? Yes. The same way you should be able
Starting point is 01:16:33 to protect your home, you should be able to protect that stage the same way. Because, like, if Sway Lee was to throw something off the stage and hit a fan, guess what?
Starting point is 01:16:40 Sway Lee's liable. And now he wants to sue because he's saying he would get sued if the suit was on the other side. He should. He should actually sue the venue. I don't know for what. I don he wants to sue because he's saying he would get sued. Exactly. He should. He should actually sue the venue. I don't know for what.
