Hey, Portia, get it off your chest, mama. I want to get off my chest that I put on social media. I purchased something from the local Fashion Nova. And they still ain't giving me my credit. And I added Cardi B. Whoa, stop. I need you to stop for a second. There's a local Fashion Nova. And they still ain't giving me my credit. And I edit Cardi B. Whoa, stop. I need you to stop for a second. There's a local Fashion Nova?

I thought Fashion Nova was only on social media. It's locally online. What? Locally online. How is it local? Okay, all right. And I know y'all seen my DM telling y'all to get it off my chest because I edit Cardi B.

I asked her to help me out with her street cred and ain't getting nothing back. Well, Cardi B probably didn't see it because she has like, you know, thousands of people hitting her. And Cardi B don't own Fashion Nova, boo. Why you adding Cardi B? You should be adding the people of Fashion Nova.

She sponsored. She just felt like maybe Cardi B would have a little more clout. My goodness. Well, sorry you didn't get your fashion overdressed, Mama. It was for something special. It was for Mother's Day. I had me a nice little, you know, outfit picked out, but I just refused to purchase anything,

and they still owe me like $80. All right, well, listen, this is what you do. Send me a DM right now, because I do know a couple of people that work there. So I'm going to hit up my guy and send it to him and see if he can help you. Good luck. All of y'all are going to feel so bad.

Thank you. All of y'all are going to feel bad when y'all realize Ivanka Trump is going to fashion over. Hello, who's this? She's definitely not. Morning Breakfast Club. This is Charlene. Hey, Charlamagne. Hey, you.

Hey, B&B. How are y'all? Hey, Charlene. Get it off your chest. I just wanted to say that I'm blessed. You know, within the last six years of my life, I've been through a lot. I lost my mom six years ago, and, you know, me and her were very, very close. It was very saddening, and so, you know, I was overweight,

and I just had a lot of things going on, and I just recently lost 80 pounds. I'm now 171. Okay. I am sexy as ever. I look like my high school days. I've been a stay-at-home mom. My oldest is 13 and my youngest is 9. I just went back to work for the first time.

And I've been working for a year. And, you know, things are just really looking up for me. So I'm just calling to say I'm blessed. I love y'all. Charlamagne, I'm from South Carolina, boo. And the crowds you're talking about. Uh-huh. We had some of the best rain last night.

Oh, man. So you got some good sleep. Man, sleep my ass. Oh, I can't you got some good sleep. Man, sleep my ass. Oh, I can't say that. I was doing everything but sleep, okay? There you go. Hey, now. That's what I'm talking about.

Oh, you was having sex in the rain? What you talking about? Boy, I don't know. I'm 80 pounds. Do you know how I feel? I wish I could send a picture. I am hot, okay? I am doing it up.

And, you know, me and my husband have been together 22 years. I'm just blessed. And he's having fun because you're so much more confident now, too, and happy. So that's great. What you talking about? I mean, can't you know, me and my husband have been together 22 years. I'm just blessed. And he's having fun because you're so much more confident now, too, and happy. So that's great. What are you talking about? I mean, I can put on as little bummy as ever, and nobody can tell me I don't look good. I don't give a damn. Congratulations, baby.

Congrats to you, mama. I definitely was having sex the night before when it was raining. I had that Miguel plan while it was raining. I was wishing it was raining last night. I said that to my wife. Damn, I wish it was raining. Hello, who's this? Queen God D.A, this friend from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, checking in.

What's happening? What's up, bro? Get it off your chest, man. It is very expensive being a single person out here. I run through a lot of trouble being single. And, Brother Envy, I would like you to congratulate me, brother, because I did get some poom-poom last weekend. I had to pay for it, but I got some.

Was it a real person or was it a doll? Definitely a doll. Yeah, it was a young lady. I had to pay for it. Young lady? How old is young? What age? She was 27. Oh, you paid for it? What's the price of poom-poom in Milwaukee nowadays? I had to pay $100.

You paid her? Well, you get what you paid for, man, so call me when you start getting that herpes medication. Was it worth it? Well, you know, you paid for, man. So call me when you start getting that herpes medication. Was it worth it? Well, you know, at this stage of the game, you got to make it happen somehow. My great-grandma, Clyde, always told me, baby, sometimes you got to pay to play.

I didn't understand what she talked about back then. I thought she had Alzheimer's. Let me tell you something. I can guarantee you, your grandma charged more than $100, okay? Oh, stop it. Get it off your chest. 805-85-1051.

You know, there's so much negativity in the world, and ain't nobody got time for that. I be feeling the same way all the time. That's why I keep it positive. That's all you can do, you know what I'm saying? And even when nobody else keeps it positive, you have to keep it positive for yourself. That's what I say.

I don't let anybody else dictate what my mood is going to be. There you go, Mama. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, we have a young lady in the building, Miss Nina Page. Her name is not Nina Page.

It's Gina Page, you crazy fool. Okay? And Gina Page is the founder of AfricanAncestry.com. You know, a couple months ago, I took a 23andMe.com test, and it said that I was 97% West African, which I love because I'm black as hell. And somebody, Chadwick Boseman, actually put us on the African Ancestry and said that if you get with them, they can tell you your tribe and what country you're from.

Right. As a matter of fact, play the clip. Let's play the clip. Play the clip. What I did is I took a DNA test. Me too. Yeah. So can tell you your tribe and what country you're from. Right. As a matter of fact, play the clip. Let's play the clip. Play the clip. What I did is I took a DNA test. Me too. Yeah. So where are you from?

I'm 97% East African. West African. No, see, that's the wrong test. Which one you took? You took Ancestry.com. I took African Ancestry.com. What's the difference? So African Ancestry could tell you the specific ethnic group that you come from. So, you know, if you just know the country, that's still the European borders.

But if you know that you're Yoruba from Nigeria, then you can now you can you can pinpoint specific customers and rituals that are part of your path. So our special guest heard that, Ms. Gina Page. Right. And so she sent us African ancestry kits. Right. Well, good morning, Ms. Gina Page. Good morning. How are you?

I'm great. I'm happy to be here. Now, how do you get all these results? We are able to get these results because we have the largest database of African lineages in the world. So we're the only DNA company, if you will, for Ancestry that can specialize in giving black people specific information. How long have you been doing this work? 15 years.

Wow. So we pioneered this technology. What made you do it? What was the start? What made you want to do this? the start? Like, why were you, you know, what made you want to do this? You know, so my business partner is a geneticist, Dr. Rick Kittles, who is a fan of your show. Thank you, Dr. Kittles, for having a little taste. I appreciate you. A man who distinguishes himself. He really wanted to know where he was from. That's how it really started. He just wanted to know where he was from. As he moved along in his career,

he worked on the New York African Burial Ground Project in the 90s. Here in New York, in lower Manhattan, they were building a federal building and they unearthed a cemetery in the process. And so a team from Howard University was brought in to identify the ancestry of those bones. So then the community said, well, if you can do it for bones, you should be able to do it for me. I'm still alive. And so it was a classic case of the community saying I want this information

and us forming a company to provide them with the answer. I didn't even know what you were doing before all this. It was boring? It wasn't fulfilling? I had a corporate background. So I marketed Colgate Palmolive products, Sarah Lee Bakery products, stuff like that. Wasn't fulfilling, is this?

No, because you know what? It doesn't really matter if you use dish liquid that has scrubbing bubbles in it or if it smells like lavender. That doesn't matter. You know, we shouldn't really be eating a whole bunch of cheesecakes and frozen pies and all of that. This technology did not exist.

Before AfricanAncestry.com, if you wanted to know where in Africa you came from, you were short. That's real. And so this isn't like anything else that has ever existed. So, yeah, it's very different and much more fulfilling. Now, you've tested a lot of celebrities. You've tested Oprah Winfrey, John Legend, Spike Lee.

Yes. And now we're excited. Roger Lee's a rice. Yes. I'm excited to get out. I want to see if I'm really black or I'm Dominican. We'll get to that. Not yet.

Or if I'm European from somewhere. I think you're Dominican. I'm going to be honest with you. Have you ever had that happen? Somebody can't wait to see where they're from Africa, but they're from somewhere totally there? I think you're Dominican. I'm going to be honest with you. Have you ever had that happen? Somebody can't wait to see where they're from in Africa, but they're from somewhere totally different? Yeah, it wouldn't be the Caribbean, though, because we were taken, we were brought from Africa to the

Caribbean, so it wouldn't say Dominican. It would go beyond to Africa. But yeah, so we don't know what we're going to find. We're called African ancestry, but none of us is 100% anything, right? I was 97 when I did that other test.

See, and that's not 100%. So you were 3% something else. Yep. So we might find part of your 97% or we might find part of your 3%. We don't know. I think I'm Indian. I think I got a little Indian in me. You might.

You might. I think so. I think my mama told me one time my great-grandfather was Indian. Your mama did what with an Indian? I don't know. Shut up. I think my mama told me one time my great-grandfather was Indian. Your mama did what with an Indian? I don't know. Shut up. She told me that her grandfather was an Indian or something. I don't know.

Why is it important for people to know their ancestry? That's your foundation. You can't know who you are if you don't know where you come from. Right. And we're, as black Americans, we're the only group in this country that doesn't know. We know we're from Africa at some point. We know it's West Africa because we know history. But there are thousands of cultures and traditions and practices.

So it's a real difference when you know that your ancestry is African versus knowing that your people were warriors or your people were artisans or your people were business people like mine. So it puts my entrepreneurship into perspective in a new way. And not only that. So on my father's father's father's line, I trace back to the house of people living in Nigeria today. And then on my mother's mother's mother's line, like you all did, I traced back to the Fulani people living in Nigeria.

Did you see a spike in people wanting to know where they're from after Black Panther? Absolutely. Yeah, I mean, it was amazing how the consciousness just shifted almost on a dime. And so now people want to find their own Wakanda. You know, they already know they're African. That's not what they want to know. They want to know where in Africa. So that movie was definitely instrumental and pivotal in shifting the collective consciousness. Because, you know, before February, when we would tell people what we would do, they would say, I'm from Zamunda. Yes.

Right? Zamunda was our cultural reference. Right, right, right. And then the day Black Panther launched, now we're all from Wakanda. That's still a debate, though. All jokes aside, Wakanda, Zamunda. Where would you rather be from? See, I feel like Zamunda is more like Jersey.

Wakanda is more like New York. Like, I would live in Zamunda and work in Wakanda. You know what I'm saying? I just feel like Zamunda's probably a little bit more country, a little more rural, you know? Wakanda's more city-like. So I would live in Zamunda and work in Wakanda. Yeah.

You know, they didn't show us Zamunda, though. Just a little bit. Just when they were going through the town. Yeah. We saw a lot more of Wakanda. Alright, we have more with Gina Page when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy,

Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Gina Page here from African Ancestry. Charlamagne? You ready? I'm ready. You ready to find out you're from Dominican and go have some questions for your parents? Are you ready? I'm ready. I'm ready.

I'm ready. I better not be a doctor. My wife already got hers back. My wife got hers back this week, I believe. Okay. Yeah, she's from Sierra Leone. Okay. So that's why I call her my diamond from Sierra Leone.

All right. Yes. So who should I do first? Do the Dominican first. Okay. So the test that we did for you traces your mother's, mother's, mother's, mother's line. Yeah, I will. And it only looks at that branch of your tree.

So it doesn't look at anybody else. Nobody on your father's side. Nobody on your mother's father's side. It's just mother to mother to mother. Gotcha. And these results are going to be the same for you, your children, your siblings, your mother, her brothers and sisters, their kids. Everybody in the family is now going to share these results. So the mother is the most important one to get because that's the most comprehensive?

No, the mother is important to get because there's a 92% chance that's going to be African. Got you. When we do the paternal line, it only comes back African 65% of the time. Really? I wonder why. Because white men were having brown babies. We're raping our ancestors. You said that. So when we look at the Y chromosome that you all as men get from white men,

I mean, get from your fathers, get from your fathers, it could, you know, if a British slave trader had a son with an enslaved African woman, then that son's going to be black. And over generations, he can look like you and me or look like you. But the Y chromosome is still going to go back to Britain. So I didn't want to come here and have the chance of giving you European results. Please don't. So that's why I sent you this.

The last thing I want in my life right now. The maternal test. So actually, I'm going to do you both at the same time. Is that cool? Because your results are extremely similar. No, man. I don't to do you both at the same time. Is that cool? Because your results are extremely similar. No, man. I don't want to be in the tribe with that man. They're extremely similar.

So, we found both of your ancestries I got anxiety now. Me too. In three countries. Oh, boy. Okay. And these three countries are very closely related. They're close in proximity, and the groups are related. So the first country we found your ancestry in is Sierra Leone.

Sierra Leone. And you're both Mende. Mende people in Sierra Leone. So that's the same as your wife, Charlemagne. People like Isaiah Washington, Coretta Scott King, people like that are Mende. Now, the Mende were on the Amistad. If you remember, they're the ones who turned the Amistad around.

Yes. Okay. The other important thing about the Mende, I know that you come from South Carolina, right? Yep, Charleston. So the Mende were rice farmers and slavery was a business, right? This wasn't just some haphazard thing that happened. So the planters in South Carolina, the rice planters, needed skilled labor in rice.

And so they took the Mende and brought them to South Carolina. I prefer school. And Georgia. Kidnapped. Yes. That's crazy. You know, my mother's grandmother is to South Carolina. I prefer Seoul. And Georgia. Kidnapped. Yes. That's crazy. You know, my mother's grandmother is from South Carolina.

Well, there you go. There you go. And so that's one group. Then right next to Sierra Leone is a country called Guinea-Bissau. Guinea-Bissau is a very small, tiny country on the continent and unfortunately a very poor country. In fact, they don't even have any representation here in the United States. There's no embassy I could send you to or anything like that. No diplomatic presence.

You both share ancestry with people from Guinea-Bissau. Envy, your people are the Fulani and the Fulani were nomads. So you'll find Fulani all across Africa. You'll find them in Senegal. You'll find them in Mali. You'll find them in Nigeria, where my people are. Charlemagne, your people are the Balanta in Guinea-Bissau. And Balanta means those who resist.

I'm starting to see a theme here, right? We've got the Mende who resisted enslavement. We've got the Belanta who were resistant. And then you're a wanderer. All right. And then the last country we found is just one country away from Guinea-Bissau. So there's not even 800 miles between Sierra Leone and Senegal. You know, these are artificial borders.

You share ancestry with the Mandinka. Mandingo! Mandingo! I always knew I was a Mandingo. I was a Mandingo. My wife told me I was a Mandingo. That's the same thing, right? Yeah, it's the same thing. What's the Mandingo Warriors? You want to see? Well, you know,

the Mandinka are the griots. They're the keepers of the history and the culture through oral traditions and musical traditions. So I thought it was consistent that... We're resisted and we're into music. Well, I'm a resistant into music. Yep. And into communication, which is why we're here now.

Wow. So congratulations. Welcome to the African ancestry family. Got you. There are a lot of places. I don't know if you've traveled to any of these countries. I haven't, but I will. These results you get to share with everybody in your family.

So if you have a family reunion on your mother's side, these results are going to apply to all of those people. So I'm from three different tribes? Mm-hmm. Okay. And if you think about it, so remember I told you, they're not even 800 miles between sierra leone and senegal so it's like you could you could be living in dc and have people in

atlanta you're in different places but you share the same genetics and then ethnic groups aren't genetic the mende the mandinka Belanta, the Fulani, those are social and cultural groups. Okay. So you could be in D.C. and be a Baptist, and your mother could be in Atlanta and be AME. You belong to different groups that share different traditions, may have different values, but you have the same genetics.

I didn't know it could be more than one. Yeah. And they're so closely related that we just gave you everything. Now, in your letter, you'll see something called a sequence similarity score. Right. Mine's 100%. Yours is 100. Is yours 100?

99.7. Okay. So in your case, Charlemagneagne we found identical matches wow so we found people in each of those groups in our database remember i told you it's the largest in the world over 33,000 to have your exact same mitochondrial dna signature here wow mv we found people whose signatures are 99.7% the same as yours. So they're not identical, but we feel damn sure, you know, we are highly confident that you share ancestry with those groups. Gotcha. So you can pick and choose. You can, you know, identity is fluid. You get to,

you get to form your identity however you see fit. Me and my wife are not related, are we? No, your markers, when you get home, you can compare your letters, and these are going to be different than hers. So me and Shana are the brothers. Yep, but you didn't need me to tell you that, right? I see that, we're related.

Man, shut up. See, every time you talk light skin, you just as light skin as me. No, I'm not. Yes, you are. No way. We brothers. I am excited. So where can they get these African Ancestry tests, Gina? At AfricanAncestry.com. AfricanAncestry.com. All right.

Gina, thank you for coming. Thank you for coming. Thank you for having me. We really appreciate you. So Charlemagne, I brought you something else, too. What's this? I brought you a gift. Thank you very much. Oh, this is beautiful.

So have y'all discussed this? I mean, you know how sometimes you don't need to, what doesn't need to be said doesn't need to be said. You know, like, we don't have to talk about that. I know he wants to be with me. Let me make sure I'm clear. It's your brother's best friend. And you've been smashing your brother's best friend. That's not going to turn out right.

How old is your brother's best friend? How old are you? Are you the little sister? I'm the little sister. Oh, wow. Now that's going to be a little fight. She's just smashing my little sister. She's grown.

So do y'all go on dates or is it just a y'all smash sometimes thing? We go out when time allows. I'm a nurse, so sometimes I work all day, all night. But, you know, we go out and... You guys talk on the phone? Y'all FaceTime and all that? Sometimes, yeah. And we text a lot.

Does he text you, good morning, bae? I miss you. Thinking of you. Of course. Okay. I don't know how this is going to work, man. Are you prepared for your brother to tell you that this guy has been smashing a whole bunch of other chicks and you're just another one in the long line? True. Or maybe he's a good guy and he would love for his sister to be with his good friend. I'm going with that.

All right. Well, let's see what happens. Well, hope for the best. There's only one way to find out. And is your brother big? Because if not, I'm sure he's going to beat the hell out of this guy. They've been friends for a long time. I don't think there's going to be any problems.

Well, the moral of Shoot Your Shot is hope for the best, wits for the worst, because the worst always leads to better ratings for us. Okay, all right. Well, hold on. We'll call him. And when we come back, so don't move. Keep it locked. What's his name again?

Andre. All right, we're going to call Andre. When we come back, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, we're going to call Andre. When we come back, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast

Club. Now we have Nisha on the line. Now, Nisha, we're about to call Andre now, so let's call him. Hello? Hey, Andre. This is Nisha. What up? I wanted to call and talk to you about something that has been on my mind for a minute.

Oh, boy. What do you mean, oh, boy? What's up? I think it's time that we tell my brother that, you know, we together. We together? What you mean we together? What you mean we together? We're not together now because we on the low. Like, you act like you're scared.

You don't want to tell my brother what we've been doing. And I'm like, forget it. Like, let's just tell him. Tell the family so we can be together. See, now this is why I didn't even want to go down this rabbit hole with you. You know what I mean? Because, you know, just because we messing around don't mean we together. You know what I mean?

Well, that's what I'm saying. We're not together now. Yeah, but see, when we first started messing around, one of the first things we said was we wasn't going to, you know, no feelings involved. You know, we just having fun. You know, that's why I don't understand what you're calling me with this all out of left field right now.

This how you treat a woman that you don't have any feelings for? Listen, it's just, we just having fun, babe. I don't understand, you know, of course I care for you. You know, you're my friend, you know? I definitely care for you, but, you know, all of that relationship stuff,

I'm not trying to hear that. And I'm definitely not trying to tell this dude or the family or anybody else. You know? What we do is between us, fool. Nope, not anymore. It's between you and the whole Breakfast Club listening audience. Nisha, this isn't going too well. It's DJ and the Angel of Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, bro.

Now, you said you didn't want to go down that rabbit hole, but you didn't go down a rabbit hole. You went down your friend's sister's kitty cat hole. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my God. Now you got me on the radio? Like, are you serious? That's what you get for messing with little sis. I can't believe you right now. That's right. I can't believe you. Completely brilliant.

You got me on the breakfast club? Like, everybody listens to this s***. Yeah. Alright, so, Andre, you're being honest, though. You guys are just sleeping around. You don't want to be with her. No, I don't want to. No, I'm not trying to do all of that.

I mean, Nisha, he's honest with you. You know, it's now up to you if you decide. No, I mean, listen, you got to stop playing it. If you don't want a girl to think that you don't want to be with her, then you got to stop doing the stuff that you do. You treat me not nice. You give me a kick. Well, he should still treat you nice, Misha.

Wait, wait, wait. He should eat the butt? Oh, yeah. For sure. You mean you going around, you just eating mad booty? You just eating ass everywhere you go? You eat all your friend's sister's ass? Stop it.

Huh, Andre? You're a cereal ass eater? Andre, you a cereal sister ass eater? She ate me first. Wow. Okay. Nisha, you an ass eater too. Okay.

And it was tickled. It was a warm tickle down there. All right, so y'all did a 69 in the... Yeah, sounds like y'all belong together if you ask me. But, okay, but instead of trying to disrespect each other, I guess what it is, Nisha, he don't want to be with you like that. So if you still want to continue to mess with him because he treats you nice, that's on you.

But just know it's not a relationship. Well, he might not want to be with me, but he's going to have to tell my brother something because I'm pregnant. Hey, hey, hey. Okay, Andre, she did not tell us this. Are you really pregnant? Yeah, I really am. I'm taking my ball and going home.

Now, I'm going to be honest with you, Andre. I don't know if I believe her because sometimes women do one or two things in this situation. They either say they're pregnant or they say you raped them. I don't think it's mine. I don't think it's mine. What? Oh, that's not the way to go. You think she's a whore?

Yeah, I don't think it's mine. Are you kidding me? No, we're just having fun. I don't know what you're out there doing now. You're talking about you're pregnant and this and that. Did fun include condoms, Misha? Well, that's what this little baby is going to be named. It's going to be named Fun then because that's what happened to me.

You know what? Was Andre wearing condoms, Misha? Yes. Not all the time. Oh, yeah. No, all the time. All the time. All right.

Well, guys, I think you guys need to handle this one. This was a little too far out of our tax bracket. Yeah, Andre, I hope that you enjoyed your little fun because now you're about to have a little fun on the way, okay? Oh, my gosh. She said that's a huge little name. Next thing she's going to be saying is you. It's yours, Charlamagne.

Stop it. Don't be disrespectful. That might be your child's mother. Are you going to tell Andre now? I mean, Andre, are you going to tell her brother now? No, uh-uh, no, uh-uh. That's not my, she's not pregnant, you know, and she's crazy. She's calling up here a radio station and doing this and that.

She's crazy. Did you guys have unprotected sex? No. She just said sometimes. He said yes. He said no. Listen, she even, look, man. Get him, Nisha.

Get his ass. Literally. I mean, there's nothing for me to even say. I mean, he out here obviously in the street just doing all types of stuff dirty. He's going to get what comes to him. But that's fine. That has nothing to do with anything. You don't want to tell my brother? Fine. I'm going to tell him. I'm going to also

tell him I'm pregnant. So either way, you're not going to deal with it. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but I can't do this with you because I got a girl. You know what I mean? My girl's over here. Well, you should have thought about that, Andre, before you decided not to be a member of the faithful male community.

So, Andre, basically you've been cheating on your girlfriend and you didn't even let her know you had a girlfriend. So now this happens. Well, we was messing around before I got a girlfriend. So, you know, it's not really cheating, I don't think. But you still was messing with her. Even after you, that's still cheating. You had a girlfriend.

My goodness. So now what you're, no, because what he's saying is he's cheating on me with this chick. No, no, no. You're not his girlfriend. I'm his girl. No, you're not my girl. You're not his girlfriend. I'm his girl. No, you're not my girl. I'd be crazy again. You know what, guys?

I'm sorry this didn't work out the way it was supposed to. Nisha, good luck with the baby. Andre, support your kid. Keep us updated, though. Yeah, Nisha, call us after you had the baby. Okay. All right. That didn't go well.

Not at all. All right, well, rumors up next. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. well. Not at all. Alright, well room is up next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Are you ready? It's time to shoot your shot. With the Breakfast Club. You lose your one chance. Don't mess it up. Mess it up.

We have Asia on the line. Asia, good morning. Hey, good morning. How are you doing this morning? I'm doing good. How are you? We're doing great. Now, who do you want to shoot your shot with? All right. He's my friend, Sean.

Okay. Basically, he's known me for years. He knows the best, the worst about me, all that. And he also knows my three kids, and he's an exceptional role model to them. Like, they love him. He's an exceptional role model to them. Like, they love him. He's an amazing guy. So, I mean, I was like bringing my kids to school and they listened

to Breakfast Club and when I heard about the Shushu shot, I was like, hold up, let me just tell them. So you want your kids to hear you get rejected this morning is what you're telling us? No, that's not going to happen. Well, we don't know what's going to happen. Now, how many baby daddies do you have? I have one. Okay, only one baby daddy.

Alright. That's okay. Now, do you like Deshawn because he's a nice person and you really like him or the fact that he just treats your kids good? No, of course he's nice. He's calming. He has all the same interests, but he is an amazing

role model for them. Yeah, that goes hand in hand. If he's a good guy, he treats the kids good. Are you attracted to him? Yeah, but just because he's a role model for your kids don't mean he need to be your piece of penis. That is true. It's attractive to her. No, I'm very attracted to him. Does he know that? I mean, we've been friends.

You ever flirted with him? When he come over to say what's up to the kids, do you dress up a little bit? I mean, I make sure I look presentable. Did you catch a vibe? Did you catch a vibe from him that he's feeling you too? I have caught a vibe.

He does look at me like he likes me, but he's very like, you know what I'm saying? Like reserved. Respectful. Yes. Yes, exactly. And which makes me like him even more. He could be looking at you like, man, I know she ain't trying to be sexy right now. I'm just me like him even more. All right. He could be looking at you like, man, I know she ain't trying to be sexy right now. I'm just over here to get these kids some candy and leave.

No, he's so attracted to me. All right. Well, when we come back, we're going to call Sean up, and we're going to let you do your thing. Hopefully it works out. If you need help, just let us know. We'll tap in. We're here. How many kids you got again now?

I have three kids. Oh, wow. By one guy, right? So hold on, Mama. I don't know. Not too many people want a ready-made family nowadays. You just add water. Yeah, you never know.

He might have his own kids. All right, we'll call him 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.

We have Asia on the line. Asia, you ready to call him? I'm ready. All right. Hold on. Hello? Hello? Hello?

Good morning, Sean. How you doing? Oh, Asia? Yeah. How you doing? How you doing? How you doing? I'm good.

I'm good. Listen, I wanted to talk to you about something today. I think we both know that there's a little spark between us. I really like you. I think you're an amazing guy. And the kind of man that you are around my kids and to my kids, it's just kind of made me look at you in a romantic way of being. So basically what I'm saying is I'm interested in taking this further, like being more than friends with you.

What do you think? All right, I'll keep it 100 because we always keep it 100, Asia. Like, I like, you know I like you. You know, I mean, you have a good energy, good vibes, but I can't with your kids. Your kids are just too, too, they're too much. They are too, too much. Like, for real. It's not funny, Charlamagne.

Stop it. Stop it, Charlamagne. That's crazy, Sean. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, Sean. And she said that you're so great with her kids. Yo, Asia, I'm sorry. But for real, though, it's like they are just monsters.

Monsters. Oh, my goodness. I try to have patience. I give my utmost. Why would you say that? First of all, I have three angels. He's been around them long enough to know that. Like, I don't understand.

Why would you keep coming by to think they're monsters? I like kicking it with you. You know that. I like kicking it with you. Wow. That's a package deal. Sean. When you have your kids, like, screaming at me for no reason, even though when I'm nice.

No, they're not screaming. They're throwing s*** everywhere. Oh, right. Accidentally calling you daddy. They don't call me daddy. They don't do that. They call me, they call me who you, even though they know my name. Who you?

Who you? Really? Really? Really? I don't want to do that. I mean, they're very disrespectful. It's not your fault, though. But you know what?

The father wasn't there. The father wasn't there. The father wasn't there. The father. Oh, first of all, first of all, those kids are a reflection of me. So I don't know how you can f*** with me and not like my kids. Wow. Don't get upset, Asia. Asia, you can't get mad at that man because you read this all wrong.

She is a package deal, though. You know, it's her and the kids. And he don't like the whole package. Right. There's a reason why the father don't. There's a reason why the father don't. There's a reason why the father don't. Oh, don't go there, Sean. Oh, my goodness.

That's disrespect for their children. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. Don't disrespect kids. Sean with the body blows. My goodness. Sean with the Terrence Crawford body blows. My goodness. Well, I'm sorry, Asia.

This didn't work out. I don't even think you guys could be friends anymore. Asia, I wouldn't even want him around my kids acting like that. No, he's definitely not seeing my kids. I come around trying to act like they're cool. Like, forget it. Asia, Asia. Asia.

We joke like that a lot. We joke like that. He wasn't joking, bro. That's not funny. They need a father. Yeah, Asia. Like, why would you think that's okay? Asia, maybe.

I'm keeping it real. I'm keeping it 100. Your kids are just assholes. Oh, my goodness. Asia, if you should be mad at anybody, it's your kids for calling that man who you. Okay? And that's messed up, Sean. You're going to bring up the fact that their father's not in their life. Maybe that's why

they need some direction. It's not their fault. Asia knows the daddy bailed out on her. You don't have to remind her. Oh, stop it. Asia, I'm sorry. I hung up on her, man. You can find a better man than him. Asia, don't listen to Envy. He lying to you right now. I don't know if you can find anybody better.

You can find somebody better than him. Somebody that will love you and your kids. And your kids. That's right. I'm going to tell you one thing, Asia. I'll tell you one thing. You always got a friend in Jesus. Oh, my God.

Stop it. Thank you very much. I'm sorry it didn't work out. Yep. All right. I'm sorry. Don't waste your time anymore. That didn't end great.

Oh. I feel bad. But let's be honest. I hope she didn't have her kids in the car. But let's be honest, right? Yeah, I hope the kids weren't waste your time anymore. That didn't end great. I feel bad. But let's be honest. I hope she didn't have her kids in the car. But let's be honest, right? Yeah, I hope their kids weren't in the car. But if you're dating somebody and their kids are not well, you know, I don't want to say trained, but don't have manners and all that, do you still stay?

No. Because that's part of the family. Especially if they're referring to me as who you, and then going to the mama and saying, mama, who this? You know what I mean? You got to learn my name. You remember that one time when Charlamagne was talking to a girl? No, ain't no Charlamagne nothing.

Charlamagne no move like that no more. Charlamagne has been a part of the faithful male community for about two, three years now. Well, prior to that. I am a happily married man. And that little boy was like, dad, can you read me a book? Yep. And what did Charlamagne do?

Read the book? Nope. I bailed just like Asia's baby daddy did. I was out. You read that book, though. My goodness. All right. We got rumors on the way?

Yes. Let's talk about Nicki Minaj's new song since we got into that already. Okay. Get my farts ready, please, John. Goodness gracious. We'll talk about that when we come back at the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Charlamagne, the top of the clubs. Let's go. You have to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. I know she is. The breakfast club, bitch. Who's donkey of the day today? All right, listen, man.

Charlamagne Tha God here. I'm on vacation. I don't give a damn what y'all think about that because I deserve it. Now, the breakfast club is in 80-plus markets in 150 countries, so we have a lot of new listeners who probably don't even know who Charlamagne Tha God is. So use my time off to catch up on some of my past work, okay? Okay. If you're new here, I do a segment every day called Donkey of the Day, Donkey as in jackass, and that's when I give someone the credit they deserve

for being stupid. So if you never heard of it, this is new to you. But if you are a regular listener, then this is an oldie but goodie because it's the best of the Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day goes to Michael Rotundo. Now, if you don't know who Michael Rotundoundo is he's a 30 year old man who clearly has never heard such motivating records like tlc no scrubs where t-bars left eye and chili told young men they don't want no scrubs or scrub is a man who can't get no love from them okay hanging out the passenger side of their best friend's ride i

did not want to be that guy in the passenger side, okay? When Rosanda Thomas said, oh, if you live at home with your mama, oh, yes, boy, I'm talking to you, it sent chills up my spine. I knew at that point I couldn't live at home with my mama no more because you can't get chicks that look like Chili, you know, with the natural baby hairs if you live home with your mom, okay? When OutKast and Goody Mob told me you need to get up, get out, and get something, don't let the days of your life pass by. You need to get up, get out, and get something. Don't let the days of your life pass by. You need to get up, get out, and get something.

Because you and I got to do for you and I. When I heard that record, my rusty butt knew I had to get up and get out of my mama house. And who can forget Jay-Z, Can I Live? He said rusty butt. Shut up. Okay? Stop worrying about my butt this morning. Okay?

And who can forget Jay-Z, Can I Live? One line. One line let me know I can't live with my mama no more. And that line was I'd rather die enormous than live dormant. And living in your mama house past a certain age is living dormant. OK, see, Michael Rotundo was 30 years old and still lives at home with his parents. In fact, not only does he live at home with his parents, his parents had to sue him. OK, they get him evicted from their house. Okay, real quick around the room.

Can we play a game of Guess What Race It Is? Okay, real quick around the room. Envy, 30-year-old man gets sued by parents to get him evicted from their home. What race is that individual? White. Anjali Yee, 30-year-old man gets sued by parents to get him evicted from their home. What race is that individual? Caucasian. Why, people? Why, people? 30-year-old man gets sued by parents to get him evicted from their home. What race is that individual?

Caucasian. Why people? Why people? I said why people? Let's go to CBS News for the report. 30-year-old Michael Rotundo has caught the attention of households around the country as a headstrong squatter in his parents' suburban Syracuse home. Parents Mark and Christina Rotundo told a judge they've been trying to evict their unemployed son for eight years writing him five notices since February even gifting Michael $1,100 to pay rent.

In an interview today Michael says he wants to move out but believes he's owed a six-month notice. I would consider much of what they were doing to try to get me out as a tax. I'll leave. I don't like living here, but I need, you know, I need reasonable time. But the judge ultimately sided with the parents. Michael blames an ongoing custody battle over his own son for overstaying his welcome at home. He's a college graduate. I went for engineering, and then when I couldn't do the math, I switched to business.

But he couldn't keep a job. I have plans to be able to provide myself with the income I need to support myself, but it's not something that's going to come together tomorrow. Matt Rotundo has never heard the notorious B.I.G. say,

being broke at 30 gives a brother the chills. Personally, when I heard that line in 1995 when I was a teenager, I knew I couldn't be broke at age 30. I just wanted better for myself. Matt, you don't want better for yourself, okay? You want enablers in your life. You want to be dependent on your parents for the rest of your life. God forbid if your parents pass away, what you going to do?

You don't pay bills. You don't pay rent. Your parents have given you every opportunity to be great, and you haven't succeeded, okay? Your parents gave you $1,100, and you can find a place to stay. Let me tell you something. When I first moved out of my mom's house, I left Monk's Corner, South Carolina, and got an apartment in West Columbia. Okay, you drop on a clues bar for Columbia, South Carolina, the 803.

I think my rent might have been $400 at the time. Okay, I think I had to pay a security deposit and first month rent. So maybe it was $800. Okay, that's what I needed. I don't remember. But I do know I didn't have it. And I didn't have parents that could give me $1,100 to help me out. But I knew I had to get out.

Okay, see, living with your mama past a certain age is the sunken place. And Michael Rotundo, what's his name, Matt or Michael? Michael. Michael Rotundo, you are in the sunken place. Okay, so even though I didn't have the money, I saved up and got that money. And I wasn't even full-time at the radio station. Hot 1039, by the way, where we now do mornings. They fired me at one time, too. But we do mornings. You're back. Yes. You know, I was doing part-time at the radio station, Hot 1039, by the way, where we now do mornings. They fired me at one time, too, but we do mornings.

You're back. Yes. You know, I was doing part-time at the radio station. I wasn't sure I was going to have the rent every month, but I said F it because anything was better than hanging out the passenger side of your best friend's ride and living with your mama. So in the words of Martin Luther King Jr., I took that first step even though I didn't see the rest of the staircase,

and that is what Michael Rotundo is scared to do, take the first step to get his big 30-year-old rusty butt out of his mama house. Now, why is Matt Rotundo getting donkey today today? Not just for being 30 and living with his parents, but he was on TMZ Live, and he was asked if he thinks his parents are good people, and listen to what he had to say. Do you think your parents are good people i would say no why do you say that well i just think that when you attack someone uh who's supposed to be you know someone you love it's really reflects poorly on i don't think good

people do that once you do move out will there be a relationship between you and your parents parents? No. Wow. How dare you? I can smell the privilege on his breath. Okay. You know, the level of entitlement you have to have to live with your parents for 30 years rent free. And then when they finally want you to leave because they want to walk around their house naked or because they have taken care of you 12 years past the legal age, you have the nerve to say they're not good people. They raised you as a baby all through your teens and your 20s. And now they're not good people because you're 30 and they want you out their house? Well, Michael, I am sorry your parents' disapproval of your behavior and sense of entitlement makes you uncomfortable. Okay?

Kids, always remember your parents owe you nothing. All right? And a sense of entitlement is a cancerous thought process that is void of gratitude and can be deadly to all relationships. Please give Michael Rotundo the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's, please. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. I'm shocked the parents feel comfortable with him living in the house.

What's crazy is he don't even speak to them in the house. Like, how dare he talk? That's what I'm saying. That's the kind of son that, you know, wakes up one day and decides to kill his parents. Yeah. All right. You know why? Why, Ceezy? Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, sir. Nick C. Ussle. What up? What up? What up?

What's up, bro? What's up, my brother? What's the deal, bro? Now, I don't know nothing about L.A. politics, but are you allowed to wear that much red? I can do what I want, man. It's my brand, so you know what I'm saying? Absolutely. I like how red I look with gold.

You know what I mean? Do people trip like that with the colors you wear? It depends. Like, again, everybody know who I am as far as where I belong. So, you know, I be seeing, like, Internet comments sometimes when I be flamed up. But in L.A., you know what I mean, we grew up, if you was a real one, you could wear what you want. That don't really apply, You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

Is it still heavy like that, though? I mean, it's like if I'm in somebody else's hood with a gang of red on, and I'm not a known face, and I'm in a crib hood, yeah, I'd probably get a dress. Gotcha. But I don't think I'll have that problem. They'd be like, that's nip. You know what I'm saying? Well, congratulations on the album.

I got to start a business by saying that. Victory lap. Yeah, victory lap in stores. Go grab that stream, man, all that. This, man. Finally. Victory lap. Yeah, victory lap in stores. Go grab that stream, man, all that. This don't even seem fair. You had to prove your victory lap, man. I had to. It took too long, right?

You had a lot to prove on that album. Yeah, I did. Let's talk about it now. The album is dope, first and foremost. Thank you. I love the album. Thank you. I hear a lot that you don't like weirdo rappers.

Facts. Now, what's a weirdo rapper to you? Well, I think you're talking about the line when I was like, the saintest weirdo rapper to you? Well, I think you're talking about the line when I was like, this ain't this weirdo rap you used to. Yeah, I just feel like, you know, I felt pressure a little bit from where the game is at. And that ain't no diss to nobody specific. Just like it ain't in the direction of what we grew up on

in terms of like you got to say something, you know what I mean? You got to be a man of respect or a to say something, you know what I mean? You got to be a man of respect or a woman of respect, you know what I mean? Even from like just the drug stuff, like, you know, that was never glorified in rap culture. We could almost like live by Scarface or Jay-Z

or Tupac lyrics. If we ain't had no principles, like a man around, we could live by their lyrics and come out as a solid individual that's what i meant just as far as like you know just returning to that direction i don't know like telling people what to do but just you know try to represent the principles that i grew up on in rap music that's one thing i like about your music it always has socially redeeming value to

it and on on dedication you know kendrick says that his man L said, do a song with Nip, he a better crit. But Kendrick said he a man first. You know, you hear what he speaks about from black businesses, the false imprisonments. And he said, listen, close is bigger than deuces and fours. So is that a challenge for you to get people to see you for more than a stereotypical West Coast gangster rapper?

I mean, people receive me based on what I said. So I wouldn't blame people for that. I came in and said, this is where I'm from and this is who I represent. But it was for a reason. I wanted to establish, you know, what I belong to. And I looked at it like jail. That's what I used to tell my homies because even some of my homeboys would be like, bro, you can't come out talking about the hood specifically.

You know what I mean? When you walk into a dorm, the first thing you establish is where you from. And then from there you get into the person behind this. Just in case whoever got a problem with this, wherever your enemies is, you go to the back, you handle your business and then you get into like okay, I could actually with you. You know what I mean? We get to know each

other, but you get that out the way first. And so, also I wanted to, I wanted my message to impact gang culture you know i'm saying i wanted what i had to say to impact individuals like myself young people that was in these areas that was controlled by gangbanging i didn't want to preach to the choir but i wanted to be able to say you know i'm one of you and where i'm gonna go wherever i end up you're gonna you're gonna know that you can end up there too.

Whether it's at the top of the game or in a successful situation as a business owner, I came from this and it's authentic and I'm not on the outside of this culture. That's why I came in like I came in. I wasn't trying to like be on those super tough guys. You know what I'm saying? I just wanted to be clear that, you know, wherever I take it, I'm not different. I'm exactly the same. I've been through everything you've been through or you're going to go through as somebody in that culture.

What is a better crip? What does that mean? I don't know because I ain't say it, but what I would assume Kendrick meant was that somebody that is not 100% biased or outside of communicating with a blood or somebody from the other side of the tracks maybe that's what he meant that's what i took it as you know but we had to ask kendrick his his take on what he meant by that you talk about west coast infrastructure it was a period when you needed a dr dre cosign to get out of the west. Why do you think that changed? Dre, man, he built, I call it an island. If you look at music, it's like three or four islands in rap music.

You know what I mean? And a lot of things that you might not know, well, y'all know, but that the people might not know are connected to these islands, they're connected. You got to, like, Jimmy Iovine, Dr. Dre Island, which you got a list. All the artists, Tupac came under that. Dre, Snoop, Game.

Kendrick. Well, yeah, Kendrick is a part of the Top Dog thing as well, but it connects, you know what I'm saying? And so then you got, like, the Lior, Def Jam, Island, and that, not Island Records, I'm just saying. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, and Rough Riders, Murder Inc., Rockefeller. Yeah, you know, Kanye.

Then all the artists that came out to Ye fall under that. And then you got whatever happened on Sony. You know what I mean? So it was one of them three options for artists. Unless you wanted to go what I call just taking the stairs and figuring out how to get into one of those situations as your own thing. Top Dog did it. You know what I'm saying?

Top Dog created his own thing. And so that was my goal to build an island myself. You know what I mean? I saw what, even like Jay, they got Roc Nation. That's an island. Right, absolutely. That's his own thing. Even though it came from them being an artist connected to another situation,

they have turned that into its own operation. Yeah, we're talking to Nipsey Hussle. Of course, he has a new album, Victory Lap, out right now. Ye? What kind of conversations did you and Diddy have? Because you and Diddy formed a relationship, I assume, through Lauren London and Cassie. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Book threw me to alley-oop, you know? Oh, you were in trouble with Lauren? No, I'm saying Lauren introduced me to Puff. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. I mean, I knew Puff,

but it was, it was more of a personal relationship after, you know, uh, we was at Cassie's birthday. Something like that, you know?

What made you want to get an old nigga like Diddy and put him on Young N***a? That's crazy. Nah, Diddy, Diddy chose Young N***a. I tried to get him on Rap N***a

because I was, I was referencing the Hate Me Now video and what, what, what what his his presence on that record with naz brought to it i'm like look this this the record this rap i want you to get on this put the mink on get in the video we're gonna make a movie and he was like um he told me the whole story behind that he like bro i bust a 40 million dollar check a week before i did that movie so i went i mean that video wow he like that's that's the energy you saw in that video

wow like i went and spent all this dough on the chain and we got tigers he like i got the biggest check of my life yeah so he like we probably gonna be able to recreate that you know what i'm saying but you know um when i played the rest of the songs for him he heard young and he chose that record man yeah so you know he just went in the booth and then started, you know. Take that, take that. Yeah, started gassing, you know. But even still, like, rap, he gave me some real production advice on that record. When I played it for him, it was different than what y'all heard. He said it wasn't loud enough. Yeah, and he was like, listen, bro, he pulled up Natural Born Killers by Ice Cube and Dr. Dre.

He's like, this is what you're going for. This is what y'all trying to do on this record. Maximize it. Make it sound like this. And we went back in in the studio and I played it for my producers and then we Turned it up and added a synth lead all the way through so it sound more like West Coast Violent You know I mean and I felt what he said after the fact I was a little upset like what you mean banging But after I really approached it it was room to make the record better Yeah, that's what all those people who say Diddy don't do shit.

Like when they say he don't really produce. Nah, but see me, my understanding of Diddy, this is how I look at Diddy, right? All right, think about my money, my problems. No disrespect to Big. Big is a legend. So what I'm about to say is not a shot against Biggie. Please don't spin it like that when they hear this. What I'm saying is that, all right, I seen an interview when Biggie had the glasses on.

And he was like, yeah, it's more money, more problems. You know what I mean? You got to, you just, it come with this. That was before the record. Right. So who told the songwriter, hey, look, take the Diana Ross melody and take this line, more money, more problems. And in the hook with more money, more problems.

That was puff. That's production. And then presented it to Biggie. Who said sample to Diana Ross, I'm coming out record? You know what I'm saying? Who said that? That was Puff's decision. And then threw Biggie to alley-oop, and Biggie came with the D-I-G-P-O.

That's classy. But to catch that alley-oop, I've been an artist. I know what that do. When I think, I think about, damn, we should sample a big record. Then I think about, what can I tell the songwriter for the hook? Then I got to also do the verse. So that's what I told Puff, bro, throw me some alley-oops. You know what I'm saying?

Yeah, listen to what I'm saying in my interviews. Learn me. Get in your Puff Daddy the producer bag and throw me some alley-oops. I'm going to catch him. All right, we have more with Nipsey Hussle. When we come back, keep it locked.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Nipsey Hussle

in the building. Charlamagne? You stand up with Hard Knock Life on the album? Yeah, yeah. Who did you have to clear that with? Jay-Z. Okay, okay. Yeah. You know what's crazy about that record? I thought you played The Keys yeah. Who'd you have to clear that with? Jay-Z. Okay, okay.

Yeah. You know what's crazy about that record? I thought you played the keys over just enough where you didn't have to clear it. Nah, listen. That's a hard motivation record. Yeah, hustling motivation. Hard motivation, yeah.

Yeah, so when Jay-Z got Annie to clear the record, I guess when he paid him, he said, y'all gotta let every other rap artist after me use it. Wow. Yeah. So that was his deal with whoever the producers and writers were. That's interesting. So that was his deal with whoever the producers

and writers were. That's interesting. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, so we benefited off his negotiation in 1998. Wow. We just had to get Jay-Z to clear it because when he cleared it

with the owners of the copyright, he made it to where any hip-hop artist after him could use the record. Jay did that, so hopefully you don't have to go through that. You know what I'm saying? Wow. Yeah, yeah. So every hip-hop artist got him could use a record. Jay did that, so hopefully you don't have to go through that. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah.

So every hip-hop artist got to clear with Jay first. Well, they just need the Jay-Z clearance. Any clearance is good, as long as they're a hip-hop artist. Jay's always showed you love, though. Didn't he buy like 1,000 copies of your Crenshaw album? What album was it, $1,000? He bought 100 copies of Crenshaw that was $100. $100, okay, okay.

Yeah, yeah. And now you didn't even know him back then. Nah, I mean, you know, I met Jay in L.A. years ago at a concert. I was just backstage, and I, you know, I ran up to him. I ain't run up to him. I'm just like, what's up? I'm Nip, you know what I mean? I'm from L.A., bro.

I'm from Rollin' 60s. He actually bought a lowrider. The story is, I ain't never asked him, but he bought a lowrider from one of my homeboys, Money Mike. That's in the Maya video. Best of me. The baby blue one, right? Yeah, you know what I mean?

He bought that from one of my homeboys, one of my G homies from L.A. That was an old school hustler. That was really his, huh? Yeah, that was his. He bought that. I'm tired of that being so real. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's confirmed.

You know what I mean? Wow. So I just was like, yeah, I'm Nip. I'm from Rolling 60s. He's like, nah, I know. And, you know, this was years before the Crenshaw thing. He's like, you know, y'all doing your thing. Keep going. So that was the only combo we ever had before the Crenshaw thing he like you know y'all doing your thing keep going

so that was the only combo we ever had until the Crenshaw thing but um yeah Jake been a hundred man so you know what I mean a lot of love

now Blue Laces 2 one of my favorite records on the album you make a spook who sat by the door reference you know about that man oh yeah absolutely

I read that book but I don't think you a spook who sat by the door I think your intentions are pretty clear well now I would say so. But even to the point we made earlier, that's one of the reasons I was so vocal about where I was coming from

and what I represented because I knew who I wanted to mobilize. You know what I mean? And if anybody that ain't seen that book, I mean, seen that movie or read the book, it's about a gang member from Chicago who, you know, presented himself in a way. He never caught no cases. He had a clean-cut look, and he infiltrated the CIA. Yep.

And he became educated and became... And basically, he used their agenda, which was to have a token in the CIA for political reasons. You know, we're going to speak blunt. He used it against them. And I think that in terms of hip-hop, you think of the message that they embrace, I feel parallel with, like, you know what I mean, the power structure.

I don't mean the culture of hip-hop, but the power structure of music. They got prescribed personas they expect from us. You know what I'm saying? So I feel like the way he used their intention against them was one of my underlying strategies. You know what I'm saying? You I feel like the way he used their intention against him was one of my underlying strategies. You know what I'm saying? You got to put the medicine in the candy. And what's interesting about that book,

all his people used to call him Uncle Tom and the Coon and the Sellout. But he was there working for them the whole time. Yeah, and he, I don't want to go blow nothing up like he did in the movie, you know what I mean? But just in terms of being able to mobilize

his homies to a higher cause, you know? There's a lot of little jewels that you're saying in there. That's what I mean? But just in terms of being able to mobilize his homies to a higher cause, you know? There's a lot of little jewels that you're saying, and that's what I like. Like, I said the medicine really is in the candy, because even when you drop a ball, like, about Dr. Sebi. Yeah. Like, just that one thing, they killed Dr. Sebi, will make somebody go research who Dr. Sebi is.

100%. Dr. Sebi. Dr. Sebi. I thought it was Sebi. Dr. Sebi. Sebi, my bad. I said it wrong. You said Sebi. I'm an LA nigga, man. My lingo a little different, man.

Have you met Dr. Sebi? I never met him. I met his wife, and I take his products, for sure. I said it wrong. He said CB. I'm an LA nigga, man. My lingo a little different. Have you met Dr. CB? I never met him. I met his wife, and I take his products for sure. Why do you think they killed him? Why do they kill all holistic doctors? Right. Messing up the medical industry. It's playing.

You short-stopping their grind. Why do niggas get killed for hustling in front of a nigga's spot? You short-stopping the grind. And these niggas, they check his billions. You got niggas that get flipped for a couple hundred thousand. So you playing with some pharmaceutical money, you know, and what's crazy. I'm working on doing a documentary on the trial in 1985. When Dr. Seve went to trial against New York.

Right. Because he put a newspaper, he cured AIDS. Yeah. Did he? He beat the case. And he went to federal court the next day and beat that case on record. Yep. And nobody talk about it.

We're still talking to Nipsey Hussle. He's in the building right now. Now what happened with Reebok? Were you signed to Reebok? Did Reebok do the release that you were there? Nah, I did endorse me with Puma recently. I don't want to go too deep into that. I had to check your footwear when you said that.

Yeah, come on, man. I ain't faking. Nah, but I don't want to go too far into details with the with the other thing because it's something that we're going to pursue but um you know it wasn't authorized it wasn't authorized and they they put all money in on the shoe they put rich roland on the shoe i don't even that's that's some gang you don't put rich roland on no shoe. You know, you gotta pay thousands of people. It's doing life and jail. You know what I mean? Fall under that structure.

So, you gotta be careful with that. I'm not even taking a check for nothing to say Rich Rollin. I would've told him, I'd've told the designers, no, bro. Stay clear of that. You can't copyright. That's like putting Crip on a shoe or something. Who you gonna pay? And that causes problems for you. Like, oh, you got paid off.

And even outside of that, because if I was right, I would stand on being right. That's not right. I'm not the beneficiary of that. You can't just pay me and think that, and by the way, they didn't pay me, but you can't just pay me and think that, oh, we paid Nip

and he speak for the... Nah, bro. They got And by the way, they didn't pay me. But you can't just pay me and think that, oh, we paid Nip. He speak for the... Nah, bro. They got 100 years. You know what I'm saying? What I look like taking a check, I can't do that. I'm grinding all my life. You tell a story where somebody got stomped out. And you say 50 and Mayweather bounced with y'all in Vegas.

What was that? That was a long time ago, man. At a club. Me and YG was performing in Vegas called Strip Hop. And, you know, somebody somebody at melee broke out and uh you know it ain't going their favor but didn't that started it and uh just so happened 50 and mayweather was in the club you know they had all the cars and they was really just coming to show love and uh you know it made the news it was a big old thing but tried to rob us.

You know what I mean? Like, somebody was waiting outside of my section. It was all girls coming into the section to take pictures. And, you know, you be in the section, your chain hang. You be standing on the couch. And, you know, somebody was like, where you from? One of them, I'm thinking you're a fan. I'm like, huh, you at my concert.

You don't know where I'm from. I'm from L.A., bro. He's like, no, where you from? And I frowned. I guess my homeboy seen me frowning dope fiending and then just a big old a big old man like broke out you know what i'm saying but yeah that's what i was about it's on youtube the the news footage is on youtube right but why 50 and mayweather had to bounce with y'all like they needed to get out the club well you i was probably taken out of context. They left at the same time. Oh, I know. You got to get out with that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Floyd was there with 20, 30 security, and 50 was there with 50 dirty people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was good money. I wasn't saying like they needed our help. It's just like, you know, a little fact. They was in the building, and, you know, they got footage of Floyd on the Internet arguing with the police in the front of the club. You know, I just, I be trying to revolve around real that took place.

You know what I mean? Just to go back to the Dr. Sebi thing real quick. What makes you want to do a documentary? Okay. You did it right, man. What makes you want to do a documentary about Dr. Sebi? I think the story is important. I think it's a powerful narrative.

It is. You know what I mean? And I think if, imagine this, anybody in this room, if I could say, hey, somebody cured AIDS, y'all would be like, yeah, right. And then I could show you an example of him going to trial and proving in a court to a jury that he cured AIDS. Y'all would be interested in that.

Absolutely. And y'all would look into the way he did it, right? So I feel like more so than championing his products or explaining his methodology, put some light on that case. Imagine being able to cure cancer or being able to cure any type of herpes. And that's what he do, by the way. That's what he did.

Yeah, he used to send all types of vitamins up to the station. You had herpes? No. I said vitamins to the station. Did you hear me? I said vitamins to the station. Not anymore, he doesn't. Damn, Evie.

This guy's crazy. All right, well, let's get into a Nipsey Hussle joint. It's featuring Kendrick Lamar. It's called Dedication. The Breakfast Club. What up, y'all? It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Nipsey Hussle's in the building. That was his joint dedication featuring Kendrick Lamar. Now, Nipsey, you were talking about Cardi and her wearing different colors and she wasn't a real... No, that's not what I said. And, you know what I mean? She's a woman. Yeah, I like Cardi B. Cardi B did a verse for

me. You started it off saying, I like Cardi B. Yeah, that's a fact. Anybody don't like Cardi, they're a hater. I used to watch her IG clips and be laughing like, this girl crazy, but her personality is golden. You know what I mean? But wrong is wrong, right is right, bro.

That's what I grew up on. That love me, bro, gonna tell me, bro, you was wrong. All right, don't tell me that in public. Wait till we get back to the hood. I might set off a melee, and you gonna fight with me, but when we get back to the hood, bro, that was bull. Don't do that. You gonna get us in a wreck wrong is wrong right is right that

terminology she used is like real and look let me just for the record that's how bloods talk bloods say crap bloods say flu crips say slob crips say dead like if i was with all my homeboys i'd be like bro give me a dead bull. That's how we talk. But I be intentionally respectful on the record because we talking about a public environment, which is the music industry.

You feel what I'm saying? We saw what happened with Death Row. So we gonna set Tripp in public. Y'all gonna get caught on camera squabbling. You gonna violate why worth $300 million, Suge Knight. You're going to go to the pen. Pac, you're going to die. Right or wrong.

That happened. That was gangbanging. That was set tripping publicly. So we will be bad leaders to recreate that. What about somebody like Tekashi69? I don't want to talk about other people for real. You know what I'm saying? I feel my own way about it, but God bless everybody, man.

Get your money. You feel me? What I said about Cardi, Big asked me, and so I spoke on it. But I don't want to hate on Cardi B. Get your money, Cardi. I respect what you're doing. You know what I'm saying? She done a verse for me.

I see the Migos, I shake their hand. You know what I'm saying? I respect her come up. She came from the gutter. About saying disrespectful things on IG, I'm going to always be like, that ain't the move. That's not what you're supposed to do. Now, do I tell you what to do?

Nah. You get it how you live. If you like it, I love it. I just know me and mine, we're going to move this way because I'm going to always stand on what I do. So if I walk into a room full of bloods and I ain't going to be like, oh, they go to slobs, I'm not going to talk like that. Because that's called being a cell soldier on some jail shit. You know what I'm saying?

What's a cell soldier? A dick that's in a cell popping it because you can't get touched. You're hiding behind the cell. Pop the gates. Talk like that. If you ain't going to talk like that, then keep it one way. I've been in a tank with a hundred bloods before. I'm from 6-0 Crip.

I ain't finna call the slobs. They'll kill me. This is where I'm from, homie. You feel what I'm saying? Same the other way around. I've been in a dorm with a hundred crips and two or three bloods. And niggas ain't using that terminology. They not.

That's just against the laws of nature. Self-preservation gonna prevent you from talking like that. That's what I was speaking on. But for the record, and just for the New York bangers, I respect real niggas everywhere. in every city and state. You can't take that from nobody.

Gang culture came from out of L.A. That don't mean it ain't real n****s in New York that pushing a line as Bloods and Crips. But we got to be honest. We got to speak honestly. We can't be political about n****s dead and doing life for. You feel what I'm saying? Absolutely.

So that's my stance on it. But like I said, everybody get money, man. I respect Cardi. You know what I mean? She linked up with Wacko, one of my n**** I respect here, Paru. And, you know, I ain't mad at her. Do your thing. My personal opinion is in your interest not to be public dissing gangs.

You know what I'm saying? Unless you want to put your security at risk, because it ain't going to be you shooting or getting shot at. You're going to be pushed into the car. You know, we were talking about on Friday last week, we were talking about checking in. And how do you feel about checking in? Because, I mean, it's a big thing, especially in L.A., you know what I mean? Because it's so open. I mean, you could drive in a block in L.A., one block, it'd be a sunny, clean block.

Next block, you in the middle of the hood. 100%. Yeah. Checking in, it suggests friendly extortion when you say checking in. A relationship is different because we all need relationships. You know what I'm saying? I'm sure when you travel, you from New York, but you got relationships all. So I mean you got relationships all over it and I'm sure you do too and A relationship. I don't believe in fake relationships

So it just established genuine relationships everywhere you go You'll be in a better position and you do that off being respectful and being you know, you reciprocate It's my come to your city, bro, you need something. Whether it's a car, some weed, you know what I mean? You want to go somewhere to eat, what you need. You out of town, I got you. Not just some protection, you feel me? So I wouldn't say the check-in.

I don't know nothing about that. But just, I got relationships in New York that is respect. When I pull up, you know what I mean? To make sure I got whatever I need. Same in L.A. I can get you from the airport, bro. You can take my car. You can come to my store. You can meet my homeboys.

You can get numbers. If you have any problems or whatever, just call in. Or you want to know where to go eat at, that ain't because you had to. That's because it's strength in numbers, and we only from one place. You know? What happened with the LGBT community? They were set tripping on you at one point. You know, man, for the record, come on, man.

I live in L.A. I'm in the music industry. There's no way I could have take issue with anybody's sexuality. You know what I'm saying? And at the end of the day, I got people in my family. I got people I love. My homegirls, some of the people that I grew up around, that's their lifestyle.

I could never judge nobody for their sexuality. What they took out of context was a critique on the media. I made a critique on the media. And I was really speaking toward what my homeboy, Big U, did for the kids. And the image of somebody that came from prison, that came from gang culture, what the image gets portrayed as around that type of individual and what this person's actually doing.

And, you know, I think that it was taken out of context um you know and that's that's a sensitive thing i would never want people to feel alienated or like damn you know an artist that i'm inspired by or look up to or somebody i respect might look at me as less than that's not what i meant you know i'm saying and i think it just got taken out of context. And you know, it's a movement right now for like acceptance and equality.

So, you know, there's a whole machine built behind. It's like a witch hunt. You know what I'm saying? Like, let anybody say. Oh, sexism, homophobia. It's a witch hunt.

You know what I'm saying? So I fell into that. It's all good. You know what I mean? I respect it. I'm with the movement of equality and everybody respects everybody as individuals. God is the creator and the judge.

I'm not the judge. I think they were just upset because they felt like you were implying that homosexuals couldn't look like so-called real men. And that was probably the error that I made in articulation, that, you know, it could be read like that. I could have been more clear. You know what I'm saying? But me personally, I judge things off of intention. We all human, we're going to make mistakes, but I gave somebody intention.

What was you trying to say? You know what I'm saying? And if the intention is clear, I give the execution a little wiggle room, you know what I'm saying, or the articulation. And I ask that by looking at my intention, you know what I'm saying'm saying what was i trying to say i was trying to big up my homeboy for creating a banquet for these young kids from the hood that play football got everybody suited and booted i seen in there that was killers at one time with suits on you know serving the kids food

and you know i mean i'm we got to do this more often. I wanted to shed light on that. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. My last question for Nip, man, because I'm riding in the car, and I'm like, boy, Nip going to get in some shit for this. You said that your mistress is Creole.

How do you get away with that? Man, it's music, man. I said my wife is a C-note. I said this life is a free throw. My wife wife is a c-note but my mistress is creole you know that was a that was what number one i recorded that before me before i had a girl for real oh i was in a relationship that's that's a disclaimer that's a fact though i ain't just being political but then again it's music man like my girl's an actress if she kissing on camera what i'm gonna be mad nah do your thing I love the fact you said you're a girl,

so y'all back together, y'all good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we solid. Players f*** up too, man. That's all I'm gonna say about that. That's the reason I ask is she don't play. She don't run down on you. Yeah, she ran down on Charlamagne. You know, Charlamagne went hard, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, Boogie, Boogie, Boogie, man, you know, she know how to defend herself
