What is that?

The realest show on the planet.

Change in the game.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.

upset, you need to vent. Hit us up right
now. Phone lines are wide open

Monica. Monica. From Jacksonville.
Hey. Oh, Monica.
Good morning, you guys. Good morning.
Jacksonville, what's happening?
Actually, the gaming shootout you just talked about,
it was four people who got killed.
And then there was a high school shootout that the news didn't really cover
at one of the urban high schools here.
You know it's not going to be on the news.
Two kids got killed, and there were over 4,000 people at the game
that night. One of my cousins
got killed. I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm sorry to hear that. Condolences.
Of course. That's awful.
I just want to let you guys know that
so it can get out. We need more people out
to help with this crime
and get everybody, get these students
here and taken care of
because it's not getting better.
It's a shootout almost every year.
Okay, mama.
Thank you for checking in.
I've been hearing that.
Lil Duval was telling me that yesterday.
All them kids in Jacksonville
just killing each other for no damn reason.
Hello, who's this?
It's Cousin Kane, man, from Wolverine, Kentucky.

Get it off your chest.
I just want to say I'm blessed, you know,
working two jobs.
Actually, I just got off of work, man,
but I'm tired.
But I just want to say I'm blessed working you know, working two jobs. I actually had to go off of work, man, but I'm tired. But I just want to say I'm blessed working two jobs, getting everything
accomplished. And I'm about to
graduate, get my bachelor's the next

Just want to spread positivity to everybody, you know.

The Breakfast Club.
Wake up, wake up.
With your ass.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or
blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, it's JoJo.
I'm calling you back because I'm trying to intern.
That's what I'm trying to do.
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.
And then you also, none of the interns have asked us to fly them out to intern.
Exactly.
You already got the wrong mindset, sir.
Sorry, JoJo.
Yeah. Yeah, baby. First already got the wrong mindset, sir. Sorry, JoJo. Yeah.
Yeah, baby. First impressions
are the first impressions of everything, bro.
Hello, who's this?
Yeah, what's going on, Abby? Good morning, Angela.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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***.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.?
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.
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
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,
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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!
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
No.
Can you please
apologize to Charlamagne?
No.
All right.
Faison Love is being sued
by his ex-personal assistant,
Tashiana Luke.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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.

Don't hear the day
for Monday, August 27th.
Goes to Anthony Charles Thomas Maxwell.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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?
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,
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

This is The Rumor Report. Talk to Report. This is the Rumor Report.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Figure it out.
Figure it out, man.
All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
All right, thank you, Miss Yee.
