Caliente. Yeah, caliente. What did we all do yesterday? Yesterday, I've been doing this State Farm podcast that I have to record for the past, like, three days in a row for the whole day. I got to do it again today. That's all I did. I didn't even know what the weather was like outside. Left here, went there. Didn't get home until, like, 10 o'clock. I got to do it again today. That's all I did. I didn't even know what the weather was like outside. Left here, went there.

Didn't get home until like 10 o'clock. I got some well-needed rest. That's what I did. I slept. I watched Million Dollar Listing and then I took my ass to sleep. I had to take a nap.

I was tired. Let me tell you something. My life be mad random. Like my man, Congressman Tim Ryan, he hit me up and he was like, hey man, I'm in town. Let's go do some breathing exercises

because you know, he always sends me like breathing exercises to do because he deals with anxiety and stuff. So we went to this, like, yoga studio. And we, like, did meditation and breathing exercises. It was just you and him? Nah, it was me, Congressman Tim Ryan, a couple brothers from Baltimore.

And I'm so upset that I can't remember their name. And a guy named Eddie. A guy named Eddie? That's the only one you remember. Eddie's this white dude who looks like Moby. But, yeah, he's big into meditation, the yoga world. I'm going to get the brothers from Baltimore names in a minute. I can't remember their names right now.

So what kind of breathing exercise? What'd you do? Man. Like what? Like we had to do it here. Turn the music down. can't remember their names right now. So what kind of breathing exercise? What'd you do? Man, uh... Like what? Like, we had to do it here. Turn the music down. Let's do it here right fast. They have technical terms. Like, it's one where you, like, you breathe in deep,

but you gotta breathe in through your nose, but it has to be audible. So you, like... What the hell? I don't know if that's supposed to sound like that. So, basically, you breathe in, and it has to be auto. It's like... Then you tuck your chin, and you hold it. Hold it for as long as you can. And then as you lift your head up, you release.

I'm going to tell you something. We did about an hour yesterday. I slept so goddamn good last night. I mean, I was out. I would have been exhausted after that, too. Bro, I'm telling you, I was out. I was out. exhausted after that, too. Bro, I'm telling you, I was out. That breathing got me tired. I'm tired, right?

I've never done it that extensively. I've done breathing and meditation before, but never like that. So salute to my man, Congressman Tim Ryan, man. Okay. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. We got some special guests joining us this morning. Jidenna, he'll be joining us. We haven't heard that name in a while, right?

The Nigerian brother, Jidenna. Good guy, thoughidenna. He'll be joining us. We haven't heard that name in a while, right? The Nigerian brother Jidenna. Good guy, though. Yes. We'll talk to him. And Rhapsody will be joining us. She'll be in the building. The best rapper of any gender. I don't care what nobody says. My current favorite rapper of any gender is Rhapsody. Okay. So we'll kick

with both of them in a little bit, but then we got front page news. Next, what are we talking about, Ye? Well, let's talk about NYPD cop, well, former NYPD cop, Daniel Pantaleo. He has finally lost his job. And we'll tell you what the plans are next. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked.

This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey. Yo, salute to Ali and Atman. That's who I was with yesterday. Ali and Atman. Ali, Atman, and Congressman Tim Ryan. That's who I was doing the breathing exercises with.

And Eddie. There you go. Yes. All right. Well, let I was doing the breathing exercises with. And Eddie. There you go. Yes. All right. Well, let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting off with, Yee? Well, let's start off with the NYPD firing Daniel Pantaleo. It's been five years since Eric Garner's death.

And here's what we know about this firing. So Pantaleo will not get his pension. Also, his attorney said he was disappointed and upset. And here is what Eric Garner's family had to say. His mother, Gwen Carr, spoke during a rally. At trial, we had to wait because Pantaleo's lawyer wanted to go on vacation or take two weeks to bring in his expert witness, an expert who never even examined my son's body, who never even seen the report. Yeah, Pantaleo, you may have lost your job, but I lost a son. Yeah, I mean, I'm glad he got fired, but she's absolutely right.

Losing a job is not the same as losing your life. All right, Daniel Pantaleo does plan to sue the NYPD and the commissioner in a bid to win his job back. So he's still trying to get his job back after all this. He was making about $85,000 a year. If he does win this lawsuit, he'll get back to the NYPD and he'll be awarded damages for lost wages as well. Hey, Daniel Pantaleo, you need to take

this L because you're lucky you're not in jail. I thought they said he was getting his commission though. I thought the commissioner said that yesterday. No, he's not getting his pension. His pension, yeah. I thought he wasn't getting his pension. No, he will not receive his pension. Oh, yeah. During the hearing yesterday, he said that he's going to get whatever he put in. I don't know nothing about no damn police pensions. Alright, now let's

discuss Jeffrey Epstein. They're saying that he was once sent three 12-year-old French girls as a birthday gift. They said it was a surprise birthday gift from one of his friends, and they were from France. According to one woman who said that she and her friend, one of her friends coerced her into being a sex slave when she was 15.

She said she actually met the girls. The girls were flown in. They were molested by him and returned to France the following day. And he also bragged about these 12-year-olds because he said they're really poor over there and their parents needed the money or whatever the case is. And they were absolutely free to stay. And they flew out. And he said the girls massaged him and performed oral sex. This is according to the Daily Mail.

They said that Jeffrey Epstein laughed the whole way through, and he thought it was brilliant how easily money seduced all walks of life. Nothing or no one that can't be brought. So what do they do when they just give you three 12-year-old girls? Does that come in a box? Is it a gift wrap? They were flown out. I guess whoever gave him that gift knew what his sickness was, that he liked young girls.

And it was a birthday gift. And what is he doing? He's done with them. Flew them back home. Oh, okay. All right. Now in Royal Oak, Michigan, they're ordering an investigation of a police in Royal Oak. They questioned a black man because a woman called the police saying that

the guy was staring at her. Is that crazy? That is crazy. Yes. So the police department has now apologized, but they did go and they demanded his identification. She said she felt uncomfortable after a man circled her vehicle and looked at her.

And the man said he was just parking his car and going to a restaurant and he just got stopped by the police. That's crazy. And they questioned him, took his ID, and they said there should never have been all of that. They shouldn't have taken his ID from him. It should have been a very short encounter. Yeah, the police got to ask why they're doing that, man.

With 20-year-old Devin Myers. He didn't do anything. He didn't do nothing? That's stupid. He looked at me. That's old-school racism, bro. That's what got Emmett Till killed. He looked at me, and they beat Emmett Till for that.

She should get arrested for that. She should. Wasting our time. She definitely. I'll tell you the time when I was looking at a house, and the lady next door neighbor called and said I was vandalizing the house. White lady called the police on me. What year are we in that if you look at a white woman now,

you're going to get confronted by the police? Jesus Christ. All right, well, last front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Michael B. Jordan in trouble, boy. If you're upset, you need to vent. Hit us up right now. You can't look at white women no more. You stupid. Somebody check on Michael B. Jordan, man.

585-1051. Hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this.

They're doing the same thing that Alwyn does. They're doing it here in Pittsburgh. They're taking all of our real estate from us. You know, we grew up in the neighborhood. The city real estate is hot right now, and not enough flats are buying. They're buying it up from us and moving us out to the far end of the city.

Me, myself, I'm in real estate. My brother's in real estate. Airbnb Dave is his Instagram. Built for Builds is his YouTube. But DJ Envy, we need your help, brother. Why are you not buying land? That's the thing. Buy land.

Buy property. DJ Envy, we need you, brother. We're definitely going. We need you, man. I don't know how you can help us. If you can helpvy, we need you, bro. We're definitely going. We need you, man. I don't know how you can help us. If you can help us, we'll drive. We'll come to a seminar. You tell us what to do, we'll be there.

Oh, he don't know how to buy it is what he's saying. Oh, okay. All right. We're buying. We're just not buying it fast enough. Okay. I mean, it's just a matter of educating the people around you and teaching them how, making sure their credit is good,

making sure they can get the conventional lending and all that other stuff. I mean, I'm not doing a seminar close to Indiana. I got one in LA. I got one in Atlanta. One in Houston. We haven't looked at Indiana yet. Maybe we'll put Indiana on the map, bro. We're off on Pittsburgh, PA, man.

Home of the Steelers. But we'll definitely come to Atlanta. If you say come to Atlanta, we'll be there. Are we doing it? Yeah. Come to Atlanta. We'll probably be going to your website. If you say come to Atlanta, we'll be there. Are we doing it? Yeah, come to Atlanta. What do I do? Go on to your website.

Yeah, just go on the website. Look for the date for Atlanta, brother. You want to talk about booty now? Because I want to. Man, I want y'all to stop talking about it so much. Listen, I want you to Google Fleece Johnson when you get a chance, okay? F-L-E-E-C-E Johnson, a.k.a. The Booty Warrior. Okay?

What is that? What is that? Some type of a show? Nah, just Google. Just Google Fleas Johnson and make sure you watch the Boondocks episode, A Date With The Booty Warrior. Season 3, Episode 9. Now you got another 40-year-old man talking about butts. You the one that called up here talking about butts.

I just want to point you in the right direction of the booty, bro. All right. Have a good one. Hey, I was listening to Snoop's new album. Snoop got a song on there called New Booty. And it's about a man getting raped. Is it? Yes. In jail. Oh my goodness.

That's a very scary record. They did it playing on Beyond Scared Scrape. Alright, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. So you better have the same energy.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? This is Q from Norfolk. What's up, Q757? What's going on? Man, so y'all just started playing clout, too, man. And that's my problem. Every time I hear that song, y'all play all flats, all sets, ad-libs and all.

But y'all never play this whole verse. Why y'all cut this verse out? Why did you call him all flats just now? You hungry? You want some chicken? Yeah, I'm actually eating right now. He was like, all flats. Yeah, man, all flats.

All flats and wings, man. I think that's the radio version that they cut. It ain't got nothing to do with us. I think that's the radio version that they cut. It ain't got nothing to do with us. I think that's the version they put in the system. And then I think. Yeah, I think the song curses so much that, you know, they take out the curses and just have his ad libs there, bro. It don't feel like a bad verse to me, but all right, man. I guess so.

I mean, I couldn't tell you, though, bro. I don't even know what you're talking about. All right, bro. Hey, man. Hello. Who's this? Hello. Hey, Carlos. Get about. All right, bro. Hey, man. Hello, who's this? Hello? Hey, Carlos.

Hey, Carlos. Get it off your chest, bro. Man, what I want to say is that I'm a landscaper for a company, and I was letting this girl cross the street with her baby, and one of the UPS drivers verbally assaulted me, man, called me a n***a, called me all out my name. And I reported it to a lady named Jen, which is

the supervisor. Four weeks later, they did nothing about it. What did you say to him when he called you a n***a? What's wrong with your lips? What's wrong with my lips? They ain't big as yours, Charlemagne the Frog. Why you ain't call? When he called you a n***a, why you ain't say,

shut your crack-ass, crack-ass up? I can't be stupid like that, man. We got nothing better than that. I try to talk to him like a man. Why? He don't look at you as a man. He actually looks at you as three-fifths of a human being. Well, that's the way maybe you look at it like that.

I went through a supervisor to try to get him fired. Well, that was good, too. Because one person acts stupid. Everybody in the world can't act stupid. That's why people get shot for no reason. You right. What if he had a pistol in his car and I get hit and shot because I'm running up the car because I'm like, oh,

he called me a n***a. No. I ain't tell you to run up to his car but when he scream, call you a n***a, you say shut your crack ass, crack ass up. I ain't tell you to run up to his car. I ain't say all that. You're silly, Mr. Salome the Frog. You're being silly, so stop that.

All right. All right, man. I don't know what's going on this morning. Stop being silly, I guess. Hey! Hey, what's up? What's up, man? Get it off your chest, man.

What's good, man? DJ Envy. What they do. Salamander God. Angel Yee. What's up? What up, King? What's up, bro?

What's up with you? I'm calling from Miami, Florida, man. From the heart, man. I'm calling from the heart of the city. The heart? Oh, heart. Okay, what's up, man? What's up, Achoo? Oh, Hart. Okay, what's up, man? Get off your chest. Oh, man, I just want to say one thing about the Jay-Z situation, man. I'm so tired of everybody talking about it, man.

At the end of the day, man, he's a businessman, and, you know, he got a family to feed, you know what I mean? So if I was in that position, man, I'd do the same thing. I understand, you know, the situation with Colin Kaepern feed, you know what I mean? So if I was in that position, man, I'd do the same thing. I understand the situation with Colin Kaepernick. You know, Colin. Colin. Yeah, Colin Kaepernick. He put himself in that situation, you know what I mean?

The NFL didn't kick him out. You know, he just didn't want to do things what they, you know, want. I understand. You know, but as black people, man, we got to stand up. As an individual person, we got to stand up for ourselves before anybody else do, you know, but as black people, man, we got to stand up. As an individual person, we got to stand up for ourselves before anybody else do, you know? Here's the thing. Can I ask you a question? Why do we project

our feelings onto other people? Like, why do we assume that Jay-Z just wants to get the bag? As you said, he just wants to feed his family. Yeah, I think he'll feed his family okay with or without this deal. Yeah, he will, but maybe his move is just to help, you know, the black, you know, players and everything in the NFL.

Exactly. It's a whole different situation, you know. Exactly. It ain't just about the money, you know. Just even with Kanye. You know, I'm a Kanye fan, man. I love Kanye, you know. I think he just want to do politics with the president, you know.

It is what it is, man. And I just feel like it don't matter what president, it's just that as an individual person, you just got to do what you got to do in this world, you know, as a black person, do what you got to do, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. All right, man.

Yeah, yeah. I do what I want, sure. All right, bro. I do what I want, sure. All right, you have a great day. Okay, all right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051 if you need to hit us up.

Now, we got rumors on the way in. Yes, we are going to be talking about Black Girls Rock. Those awards will tell you who's going to be on stage hosting. And let's talk about a jersey that just sold for $120,000, and this person was not even a professional baller. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. What's happening? Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk me some ash.

It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report. Rumor report. This is the rumor report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Black Girls Rock is coming soon.

It's going to go down on August 25th. That's when they're taping in New Jersey at NJPAC. And it will be premiering on September 8th on BET. And this year, Niecy Nash is hosting. I think she'll do a great job as a host for Black Girls Rock. She posted on her social media page. So this happened at Black Girls Rock. She posted on her social media page. So this happened at Black Girls Rock, and I'm so excited to celebrate our magic. So congratulations.

I know I'll be watching. All right. Now, Barack Obama, his high school basketball jersey went up for auction. It went up for auction in Dallas over the weekend. And the person who won paid $120,000. For what? For the jersey. Why? It's Barack Obama's. Man, I need to see

what his stats were before I go buy his damn jersey. Nah, he was the president, man. I don't know what he was. He wasn't the president in high school. He might have been the most trash-ass player on the team. You might have heard some stories about how garbage he was on the court. It's still a good jersey to have. Well, that jersey's from back in 1979. What the hell is Puna who? It's Hawaii. That's Hawaii. Oh, nah, he was ballin' in 1979. What the hell is Punahou? It's Hawaii.

That's Hawaii. Oh, no, he was balling in Hawaii then. Hawaii state champion. Only black man in Hawaii. He averaged 35. It was in Honolulu. Now, what happened was... Oh, yeah, he was washing all them, too.

Did you see that picture? He was averaging 37 and 12. Easily. Easily. Now, what happened was one of his fellow classmates, Peter Noble, he was three years Obama's junior. He came after Obama. And he wore the same number, number 23, as a member of the JV team. And so he had kept that jersey.

And he didn't even realize it was Obama's jersey until Barack Obama was elected president. So it ain't really Barack's jersey. Barack gave it to him. And now he had it for like four or five years. Now he's selling it as Barack's jersey? Well, he just had the same number. so he kept the jersey, I guess, because he also was number 23 when he played JV. So we don't even know if that's really Barack's jersey.

I mean, it is Barack's jersey, but it's never been retired. So it's really just, that's how you know Barack was trash, by the way. If he was dope in high school, they'd have retired that jersey. Definitely retired his jersey by now. All right, now let's talk about last names. Eva Marcell, she talked about why she decided to change her daughter Marley's last name. Previously, Marley had her dad's name, Kevin McCall's last name. But she said she decided to change it to her biological father's name. And after two months, you know, we became estranged, and I raised her as a single mom. And then the good Lord saw fit for me to meet an amazing man,

Michael Sterling, who has become my husband and the father of my later children. And so, long story short, we all have the name Sterling, and Marley is the only one with her biological father's name. And, you know, I saw it necessary, and Mike saw it necessary to change her name. Well, there you have it. So for people wondering why she decided to change Marley's last name to Sterling, that's why now they all have the same last name. I wouldn't like that if I was the biological father of that child and I was actually in my child's life like I was a father that was

very present I wouldn't want her changing the name to her now husband's last name her explanation makes sense though she doesn't want her daughter she raised her daughter as a single mom and then she didn't want her to feel left out because the other kids have the same last name and she'll be the only one without that last name yeah that's why I said if I was present in my child I don't know what the situation is with the biological father. All right. Well, speaking of dads, Logic is about to be a father. He put out a freestyle called No Pressure,

and he talked about his negative feelings towards the music industry and that freestyle. But then at the very end, he made an announcement. And I'm having a little baby. Surprise, it's a little baby boy. TMZ, they can't get the scoop on that. Welcome little Bobby to the world

one time. Okay, well congratulations to him. I'm still trying to figure out what Barack Obama averaged in high school. How are you doing research? I'm Googling. I can't see it no way. That's how I know he was trash. Alright, and it looks like Apple, for their budget for original content for Apple TV Plus,

originally they had about $1 billion allocated for original content. Now, they have committed around $6 billion for that. And that's all for their original content plans for Apple TV Plus. In comparison, Netflix is spending $15 billion on content

in 2019. Disney is committing $1 billion in 2020 for their streaming service, which launches November 12th. And they expect for that number to increase to the mid $2 billion by 2024. Hey, you're throwing them numbers around like it's nothing, huh?

That's a lot of money. It is. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. I said if he got 10 points a game, most of them are probably under the basket. He didn't hit jump shots from 15 feet or anything like that. He was a good defender, definitely a good athlete.

Well, that jersey went for $120,000 for Barack Obama. That's because of what he did in the White House, not what he did on the basketball court. Well, yeah, clearly. Where did you get them stats from? That had to be, what, 50 years ago, 40 years ago? Donald Trump wrote it. Probably. Definitely probably.

This is on forthewin.com. It's an article that this is from one of his former teammates and basketball coach. So he wasn't that nice? Nah.

Damn. All right. Well, front page. But he did win a state championship in 79. So he was nice. He had to be nice.

I don't know. Just because he was on the team that won the championship don't mean he was doing it. He wasn't the best player on the team? I don't think so.

He was like six points. You're just saying that. You don't even know. He was the tallest person on the team. How do you even know if he was? It don't mean he was doing it wasn't the best player on the team i don't think so he was like six points you're just saying that you don't even know he was the tallest person how do you even know it don't seem like it if he had the type of stuff look at that picture he's the tallest person on the team there's no way he wasn't talking about it you found the number oh there's no way he wasn't looking at right now yeah no way he wasn't kind of looks like maybe he's the only black person on the team i don't know i mean that's why i gave him the benefit of the doubt okay yeah all right front page news is next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, it's DJ, MV, Angela Yee,

Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some Front Page News. Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's start with a woman who thought she had some kidney stones, went to the hospital, and thought she needed surgery. She said, I started getting pains. I figured it was kidney stones because I went through them before. And what do you think happened? She had triplets.

What? So you mean to tell me she didn't know she was pregnant that whole time? That's correct. How big was her belly? It didn't really look that big for her to be having triplets. Yeah. Where was this at again? South Dakota. So she said, I started having pains. And she said the babies were delivered at 34 weeks. Each of them weighed about four pounds. Wow. Now this was before or after she ate the Popeye's chicken sandwich? What upset her stomach? Listen, I don't know.

But she said when she knew this day was always going to come, the triplets were born August 10th. She said one time, their 10-year-old brother said, one time I seen a shooting star and I wished for a baby brother and I wished for two sisters for my little sister because she always wanted a little sister. And why did she think they were kidney stones? Did she have a problem with kidney stones before? Yeah, she said

she went through it before. Okay. And so that's what she thought. But 12 pounds? 12 pounds on her stomach and nothing? You didn't see anything? And they said it's great because you don't ever see triplets being conceived naturally, let alone going 34 weeks without knowing. She said, said it's great because you don't ever see triplets being conceived naturally, let alone going 34 weeks without knowing. She said, so everyone's like, I can't believe it.

If she's surprised, imagine the person who shot her club up. Imagine how you feel this morning. Jeez. Girl, if you don't get off my goddamn phone. And you know what's crazy? They went to the hospital and the doctor first said, get ready for twins. And then after that, they discovered that it was really triplets. Who do you call after you have triplets?

Your husband. Is she married? Yeah. Oh, okay. Alright. But still, that's... She already had two kids before that. Yeah, but that's still three at one time, three car seats, three cribs, three... Oh, my gosh. She didn't wonder why her period stopped? I couldn't answer that.

I don't know. I need more details. This don't even make no goddamn sense. She didn't know she was pregnant. Yeah, but like you said, the period didn't stop. The period stopped. The belly didn't answer that. I don't know. I need more details. This don't even make no goddamn sense. She didn't know she was pregnant. Yeah, but like you said, the period didn't stop. The period stopped. The belly didn't get bigger. Yeah, it's all type of things that happen when you're pregnant. You know, some women still have their period. She ain't got nobody in her family that dreamed of fish.

The husband didn't know this. They said the 10-year-old saw a shooting star and wished for a baby brother and two sisters. All right, well, maybe that worked. She didn't have morning sickness, but she said she never experienced the morning sickness or the baby's movement during the pregnancy. By the way, I don't believe that 10-year-old. I don't like people that place bets after the fact.

When something happens and they tell you, I wished for two, three daughters. Man, shut up. If you'd have told me that beforehand, maybe. Well, it was a little kid. He was six years old. He's 10. He's lying. 10 ain't young. All right it was a little kid. He was six years old. He's 10. He's 10 and young.

All right. Now let's talk about Daniel Pantaleo. He's been fired by the NYPD five years after killing Eric Garner in a chokehold. And what we do know is that he's not going to get his pension. His attorney is very disappointed and upset, but they are planning to appeal and he wants to get his job back as well. And if he does get his job back and if this does work out, then he will get his back pay as well.

And he was making about $83,000 and $85,000 a year. Why does he think he deserves a job back? He's lucky he's not in jail. You murdered a man in cold blood. I don't know. And why would you want to work there? Do you know how many people hate you? You killed someone and it seems like you have no remorse. He'll never be out in the street. He'll always be in the office.

But I'm sure he's just trying to sue to get his pension. But it's a wrap. It's over. And the cops still riding for him. I mean, shoot, the cops are calling for the police commissioner to be fired. Yeah, they're upset. Yeah. Alright, now our mayor, Bill de Blasio, who's also running for president, as you know, said justice has been done. And

here is what Eric Garner's mom, Gwen Carr, had to say. That trial, we had to wait because Pantaleo's lawyer wanted to go on vacation or take two weeks to bring in his expert witness, an expert who never even examined my son's body, who never even seen the report. Yeah, Pantaleo, you may have lost your job, but I lost a son. That's right. Losing a loved one is not the same

as losing a damn job. And you know, it's also crazy about this situation. I don't see how anybody can defend this situation because it's not like he pulled out a gun because he thought Eric Garner had a gun and it was a mistake like that. You choked this guy out.

He was telling you he couldn't breathe and you continue to this guy out. He told you he couldn't breathe. Yeah, he was telling you he couldn't breathe, and you continued to choke him out. He was already on the floor. And you knew him. You were familiar with him. You had plenty of time to stop doing what you was doing, my guy. All right? Like, nah.

All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Front Page News. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, Rhapsody will be joining us. Let me tell you something. Rhapsody is the best rapper of any gender. Okay?

That's just Charlamagne Tha God's opinion, and I've been saying that for a couple of years, and I'm sticking to it. All right? Her new album, Eve, will be out Friday. We're going to play a couple of records this morning off the Eve album. Yep. We sure are. All right.

So when we come back, Rhapsody will be in the building, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country.

I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia.

I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe own country. My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder,

you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh, my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.

Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like, grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. That's right. My current favorite rapper of any gender.

All right. Rhapsody is here. That's right. Welcome. Good morning. Good morning. What up, rap? Album Eve is coming out in a little bit.

What'd you call it? Is it called Eve? Yeah, Eve. I said Album Eve coming out in a little bit. I thought you said it? Is it called Eve? Yeah, Eve. I was going to say the album Eve coming out in a little bit. Oh, I thought you said Adam and Eve. No, no, no. The album Eve

is coming out in a little bit. You excited? Yeah, I'm super excited. I'm dumb excited. It's a lot of growth with this one. It's me expanding bigger records.

Like, I think this is more universal for some people. So, yeah. I'm just excited to put it out in the world and see how people resonate with it. I love the concept of it.

I think especially right now, it resonates with a lot of people. And it's also an album that with just the titles alone is going to make you have to think. Yeah. No, I wanted to make something, again, that everybody could gravitate to and really focus on black women. Like, I think I've been doing it subconsciously throughout my whole career.

Like, you know, I have, whether it's an interlude on a mixtape where I'm shouting out a bunch of black women. I got songs called Betty Shabazz, Tina Turner in the past. But this one, I got the concept. I was doing an interview for the Oxford with a guy named Lamar Wilson, and he was like, rap, you know what? You're an extension of Nina Simone and Roberta Flack, right? And I was like, I never thought about it like that

because as an emcee, but he was like, no, you're like your lyrical content, what you stand for. So it made my wheels turn and I went home and I recorded Aaliyah, that was the first song because I wanted to talk about being a tomboy and today it's like, oh, you ain't supposed to dress like that, that's too sexy.

When I was coming up, Aaliyah was sexy, but she wore baggy clothes and fly sneakers the same way. So it was just like, yo, there's still a lane for that. And, you know, I'm not this alien that y'all think I am. Like, women are universal. We're not monolith. We got different flavors. So I wanted to showcase that on the album

with the different women, different names. Every song, I wanted to sound different, be a different color, because that's what the world looks like. And I wanted to show that you can't box me in either. People think like, oh, because I rap music with messages, like, she probably go

to the club and burn incense and only listen to a certain type of music. Like, no. I grew up in a small country town in Snow Hill. I grew up on Go-Go. If you try me, there's... You're still twerk. I can't make it clap like other people. I'ma just be rare

and got that much back to clap. But you tried it. But yeah, yeah, yeah. We throw it out. Every track listing is a different African-American woman that has some influence on you for people that don't know. So track one is Nina, two is Cleo, three is Aaliyah, four is Oprah. What was the inspiration on Oprah and you? So Oprah is the first black know. So track one is Nina, two is Cleo, three is Aaliyah, four is Oprah. What was the inspiration

on Oprah and you? So Oprah is the first black billionaire, so I wanted to talk about, and black women are the most educated women in America. So I wanted to talk about us and talk about black ownership.

And, you know, it was my fun way to have a song about money, but kind of flip it so it was more inspirational on some like Nipsey Hussle type thing, you know what I'm saying?

So that was my like, okay, we talking about money. Oprah's the one for us. With Whoopi, I wanted to have like a play on metaphor. So Whoopi was in the movie Sister Act, right? So on the hook, I'm just like, you gonna make a sister act up? My attitude, like it's like, that's my way of having fun with words and metaphors.

But we know Whoopi going to say what Whoopi want to say. She ain't got no filter, right? So that's me like, yo, when you meet me, people say, oh, you one of the nice people I know. And you shy, and I am. But in every one of us, if you push enough buttons, we'll go there. So it's just like that's just another side. But, you know, all black women don't always have attitudes. But, you know, if you test us, it'll come out.

Absolutely. So, you know, those are some themes. Did you feel pressure to follow up the Grammy-nominated Layla's Wisdom? No. Most people do. I did not. I think with that one, I had just got so comfortable with being myself, and I made the album.

And then for it to be Grammy-nominated just doing what I do, it just let me know like, you ain't even got to think about it, just do you. And what made it a lot easier was the concept. Once I came up with the concept it was just like, boom. I finished the album, 80-90% of it in the month of December.

It's 16 songs on the album, but I recorded like 30 or 40 different women. So it was like once I had the concept, it was just boom, boom, boom. It's like I have a woman. I want to do a song called Maxine Waters. I'm going to get political on this one. I want to do a song called DJ Spinderella.

You know, I'm going to tell a story, but say it through like DJs and have fun with wordplay and stuff like that. So once I got the concept, it was done. I got a song named Keisha from Belly. You got Queen Latifah on the album too. People forget what a dope rapper Queen Latifah was. She gets busy.

How did that even come about? You reached out to Queen Latifah and got her on the track. When's the last time she even did it? When was the last time she rapped? song? I can't remember the last time she rapped. Is she singing or rapping? Rapping her ass off. No, she busting on this one. This that Queen Queen. But she's put out

jazz albums, of course. The way I got in touch with Queen Latifah is Merz had came down to North Carolina. They were recording his latest project with Knife. We were talking. He was like, we was talking about tattoos. That's what it was. And he put up his shirt, and he had a picture of Queen Latifah tattooed on his rib cage.

And he was like, have you ever worked with her? And I was like, nah, but she's on my list. Like, I met her. But, you know, I don't know how to get in touch with her. He was like, well, you know, I'm from L.A. I know everybody. Let me reach out and see what I can do. So he reached out to Shaquem, and Shaquem hit knife and connected him.

And that's just how it was. And she was everything. I thought she would be, like, automatic big sister. I was in Atlanta with T.I. playing him the album, and she called me. And the first thing she said, she called me on the Jamaican accent. I was like, hello. She was like, I'm looking for an absentee. Has anybody seen? So automatic, like, hello. She was like, I'm looking for an absentee. Is anybody seeing?

So automatically, like, she just reeled down to earth and cool. And we probably talked on the phone for maybe a week. And then she was like, I sent her the record. She said she loved it. She was down. She said, when you get to L.A., come see me. I got to L.A. We recorded at her crib in her house.

Oh, so y'all did it together. Yeah, we did it together. Like, she came to the studio first and listened to the album. You know, she gave me some, her thoughts on some things and then the next day

I went to her house like in her, in her crib and we worked on it together. You've always said she's one of your biggest inspirations. Yeah.

So you had to be geeked out a little bit when you were in there with her. Oh, you already know. Yeah. Like, it's like Queen Latifah. Like, I'm seeing Queen Latifah UNTI. I'm seeing Cleo from Set It Off. a little bit when you were in there with her. You already know it. That's when you hang up the phone and scream. Yeah, it's like Queen Latifah.

I'm seeing Queen Latifah, UNTI. I'm seeing Cleo from Set It Off. I'm seeing Living Single, Khadija. She's just all in them, and she dope. And then she gets to tell you the stories because she's been seeing everything, the Tupac stories, being on tour with everybody, Flavor Unit. So it was just dope just to have that moment with her

because I haven't had a relationship like that with a female, like a legendary female. She's the first one. Really? Yeah, like I've met people and we've had short conversations, but for her to call me as much as she did and we call each other back and forth, me to go to her house and hang out,

she takes stories, like I've never had that. So that was a moment for me because that to her house and hang out. She'd take stories. I've never had that. That was a moment for me because that's something I always wanted. At one point, you said Kendrick was the person that you would always get advice from. Has that changed now that you met Latifah? No, I still hit the homie. She can get advice from both of them. You know what? Growing up, Queen Latifah

was dope too because she was the woman down with all... She was like the boss of all the guys. All the time. People don't know how much she has done was dope too because she was the woman down with all, she was like the boss of all the guys and you looked at it like straight up. People don't know like how much she has done which is crazy.

Like I tell people like she's the first one to manage OutKast. Yeah, I was going to ask that. How did that story come out? I didn't know that. Manage OutKast. Yeah, she managed OutKast first.

Really? Yeah, like you should need, she need to be the next one on the show so she can tell that story. Like I can't remember the first person that told me but I asked her about it. She was like She can tell that story. I can't remember the first person that told me, but I asked her about it.

She was like, yeah. Wow. I can't go into details because I don't want to mess none of that up. Right, right, right. She was in confidence. Yeah. But I'm sure she can tell you. But yeah, she's done a lot that people don't know.

I feel like we need to play the Queen Latifah record too since we talked about it so much. I don't see why not. Introduce it. Oh, this one? This is Hapshet Suit featuring the legendary, one of the greatest

to ever do this, in my opinion, Queen Latifah. Check it out. All right, that was Rap City featuring Queen Latifah. It's on her album

that comes out this week. Now, you like the conscious rapper stigma? No. I just remember as a kid growing up. I do not.

We didn't call Nas a conscious rapper. He was a dope rapper and that's how I look at you. I look at you as a dope rapper. I appreciate that. You like that stigma? No, I just remember as a kid growing up. I do not. We didn't call Nas a conscious rapper. He was a dope rapper and that's how I look at you. I look at you as a dope rapper. I appreciate that. You like that stigma? No, I can't stand it. Somebody called me that the other day. I was like, I don't like that because everybody's conscious. We all conscious. Like, people like to

think conscious is, oh, you talk about political deep things. No, conscious is being aware of what you do in surroundings. Like, you know, you take somebody like Megan Thee Stallion, whatever life she lives and whatever stories she chooses to tell, that's her being conscious of her situation and telling her story. You got a young thug, if he grew up busting at dudes,

consciously he's talking about what he grew up in. You might not like how he says it, but that's his conscious reality. So, you know, I choose to talk about different messages, different subjects. Like, you know, I'm just aware of a different thing than other people's, but it's all conscious to me. Now, the title is Eve. Is it Eve from the rapper or Eve from the Bible? It's Eve from the Bible.

Okay. It's Eve from the Bible because the black woman is the mother of all living things. And I was doing research the other day, and I didn't notice. Somebody actually sent it to me. And I had to Google it just to make sure it was factual, but it said the black woman is the only woman that has the mitochondrial Eve gene, which means that every race can be created from the black woman.

The woman, yeah. What if Eve tweeted you, like, yo, thank you so much for the shout-out? I show love. Noout? I show love. No doubt. I show love. I hate that I ain't have her on the record. Like, that would have been, that would have put it all together.

But I, you know, double entendres. You are. You too, Eve. Yeah, this, it represents you too, so it still works. I saw that performance in the club, and it was lit the other day. I saw on Instagram somebody posted. Yeah, Eve go hard. Just over the weekend.

What was your initial reaction to Jermaine Dupri's comments about female rappers? Your initial reaction. Yeah, my initial reaction was, oh, man. Not like that. Because I felt like based on the question that was asked, and the question was asked, who are your favorite female rappers? That's the opportunity for you to say who your favorites are and not take that time to be negative about it.

You know, I feel like it's a waste of time to talk about things you don't like. Like, to me, that's a waste of time. Put people on that you do like. Talk about the women, whoever they are that you rocking with, that you, you know, that you getting behind, that you want to see more light shined on because, you know, what is that purpose serve? It's already hard enough. Right.

And, too, I feel like you can't be mad at these women. Like, you know, they doing what they want to do. Like, what do you want them to do? Like, they creating their art and their way and people like it and people like it and invest in it. I went mad. Cardi was right on point when she said, it ain't us. It's the media.

Y'all the one that's putting it on. Y'all the one. These people that's out here listening to the world, they buying it. Radio the one that's putting it on playlists or whatever you call it, playing it 50 million times a day. Don't be mad at us. We just doing what we do. We eating, so eat.

I'd rather you eat there than do something different. I just want balance, if anything. I think that was just the perfect time for him to tackle it in a different way. And you worked with him before, right?

Yeah, yeah. I did Rap Game. I went and judged on that. And after we did that, we went to the studio. We did one song together. How was that record? What happened to that record?

It's in the can. It's in the can? Yeah, it's in the vault. I'm going to say the can because the can sounds like the trash can. It's not in can? Yeah, it's in the vault. I'm going to say the can because the can sounds like the trash can. It's not in the trash can. I spit bars on that one.

I heard him say that on Van Laten's podcast. He was like, why are people acting like I don't know who Rhapsody was? I had Rhapsody on the rap game. Because you didn't say that. Exactly. So they ask you who you like. So that's it. But he a legend. I respect it. At the very core

of what he was trying to say I understand I feel like if anything he wants balance but to do it in that way

and to tear down those women that's not it but you did say you did say that you feel like I would say the man

pushes records out that are not necessarily indeed good music or the conscious type of music white man

the white man. You know it. That owns the liquor company. That owns the music. True, true. I'm doing too much. You feel like you're not pushing the right message out. Right.

You feel that way? Yeah. No, I do. I do think there's somewhat of a gender where nobody wants to empower us because we are powerful people. And a lot of things come with that. So, yeah, I think they play things over and over again that dumb us down and they don't want us to think in that way, whether it be through the music,

whether it be the television shows that we watch. You know, there's a reason that that is the way it is and we have to be conscious of it and know our power in it. So, without a doubt. I do agree with that, but I think now it's a little different way it is and we have to be conscious of it and know our power in it. So without a doubt. I do agree with that. But I think now it's a little different only because people can, you can pick and choose what you want to listen to. Right.

Now, if you only look for radio and TV, that's different. But like you say, like when you understand the power of having a streaming service and being your own DJ and having Netflix and being able to have these platforms that introduce you to other options you know you become well balanced so when people ask me about the culture and the state of females in it I'm like it's beautiful I think it's super dope because I know

where to go and where it exists at but if you put hip hop in a box that's only TV and radio then you're only going to see as much of it and your perception of what it is is very skewed. It's a false narrative because it's way doper

than the little bit that they allow you to hear and see. Well, introduce your joint. Introduce your single. Oh, okay. This is my single, Ebtahaj,

featuring the legendary JZA and the legendary unicorn, the prince of our generation, D'Angelo. That was Rhapsody, D'Angelo, and GZA. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Rhapsody. Charlamagne? When you heard JD make those comments, did you say to yourself, oh, the universe is lining up because I'm about to drop a whole album dedicated to women? I've been saying that all year. It's just things been falling in place and they just happen from crazy

crazy ways. That happened and Cardi B gave the shout out which for me the biggest thing for me to get my hurdle over was exposure. I don't think, I used to think like yo, why is it so hard for me to connect with black women

at certain times and I figured out it's just exposure. It's not that people don't want to hear it or they're not rocking with you. It's just they don't know who you are. And I had to learn that through the Cardi B shout out. But everything has just been lining up. Like even to put this album out in a time

where black women are at the forefront of conversations and, you know, we're empowering ourselves to be leaders, you know, in all sectors of life. Like, I just think it couldn't have happened at a better time. And like I say, it's just the universe in time. So the Bardi gang is all in your Instagram, huh? They show love. I rock with Bardi gang.

Bardi up. You met Bardi yet? Yeah, I met her. The show that T.I. Chance and Cardi. Oh, yeah, the Netflix show. I don't remember the name of it. Yeah, I can't remember the name of it either. But I was a judge with T.I. on one ofi. Oh, yeah, the Netflix show. I don't remember the name of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't remember the name of it either, but I was a judge with T.I.

on one of the shows, so, you know. You got an idea for a record with you and Cardi? I wanted her on this album. I couldn't figure out how to get to her. Really? I wanted her on Whoopi. Really? Yeah, I did.

Why couldn't you get to her? I reached out, but nobody ever reached back, so. Now, for nothing, Cardi's the person you can hit in the DM. She will answer that DM right now. I hit her in the DM, too. I don't think she was following me, so everybody got lost. You know, it's that primary, general, and everything else.

It's always a remix. Yeah, no, I don't even trip because if it ain't supposed to happen, it ain't gonna happen at that time, but when it's time, it's time. So, you know, I didn't feel no way about it. It's just it wasn't time. How did Cleo inspire you? Cleo the movie?

Could have been Miss Cleo, too. That's my joint where, you know, I got to talk my, can I curse up here? Yeah. I got to talk my shit. So, you know, that's like, that's that rap. Like, because most of the time I'm reserved. Like, people take shots. I don't really say nothing.

But when I, I can when I want to. So, it's just like everything that I've heard about me or just bothered me, I'm just busting back. So it's like it reminds me of Cleo in the movie. Like she always had the gun and she was ready to set it off at every time, so that's my set it off track. Yeah, I hear Rap Radar got a little shot. Yeah, they did.

Wait, what did Rap Radar say? Why you give Rap Radar a little shot? I ain't going to put that all on Rap Radar because I appreciate the blah, but B.Dot, he know what he do. He be madar a little shot? I ain't going to put that all on Rap Radar because I appreciate the blah, but B. Dot, you know what he do. He be mad disrespectful a little bit. B. Dot always gets some shots. He mad disrespectful. Me and B. Dot debate about you often.

I know. What did he not say? I know. Charlamagne had made a tweet, I think, one day about me being one of the most lyrical MCs. And he went on Twitter and just said how that is so not true. And it's just like, okay, bro, you could believe that, but as somebody in a culture with a name, don't disrespect me like that. Because your name carries weight.

I just thought it was disrespectful or distasteful. But at the end of the day, do what you want, but I'm going to say something about it. But you're going to get these balls, right? Yeah, but it wasn't a heavy shot. It was just a light one. It was real light. A little jab. It was real light. I just jab. It was real light.

It was real light. I just wonder if people really listen to Rhapsody. Because I'm like, there's no way you can listen to Rhapsody and not say to yourself, she's the dopest doing it. No, seriously. It's just my opinion. I put Kendrick, Rhapsody. That's the tier.

And then everybody else. That's just my personal opinion. I receive and respect that. And you don't put J. Cole up there, too? No. He's a tier below. I'm not saying he ain't dope. I'm just saying it's a tier below. I think he's in that same tier. That's just my personal opinion. I receive and respect that. And you don't put J. Cole up there, too? No. He's a tier below. I'm not saying he ain't dope. I'm just saying he's a tier below.

I think he's in that same tier. That's just my personal opinion. That's it. Listen to Sojourner. Rhapsody Watch, J. Cole. But I don't want to start no problems. It's on the album. Yo, this is too awkward right now.

Everybody got a preference on how they like hip-hop and how they ingest it. I want you and Kendrick to do an EP together. I do, too. I want to see you and Hov on a record, too. I do, too.

I've sent some. I'm going to keep sending them to him. Hov, I love you, baby. I'm going to keep sending them in that Gmail. If you ever do a record named after all men,

do a record called Kaepernick and send it to him and see what he says. Bruh. like named after all men do a record called Kaepernick and send it to him and see what he says. God. Bruh. I'm trying to keep my record label deal right now.

You know, the marketing that they provide me and the support is so beneficial to my life. I ain't, ho,

I ain't even, I don't even know what he's talking about. You should hit him just to be funny. Be like, yo, I got this record called Capping It. What you think? I'm not kidding. He's trying to do the cold thing to Cap. Why are you trying to do this to me right now? You're spinning it good, though.

You're spinning it good. What are your thoughts on Jay partnering with the NFL? I think it's dope. I think it's a great move because you've got to make change from the inside. And he said it perfectly. The NFL came, and if the issue that why we were kneeling was to bring awareness to these issues, and that's exactly what's happening to me. It's not about the kneeling. Why are we upset?

Because it's like, oh, what about kneeling? It's not about Kaepernick either. Kaepernick wanted to bring awareness, but it's bigger than that. And if you're going to get Kaepernick in, there ain't no better way than to have Jay-Z sit at the table and figure this thing out. But it's just way bigger than Kaepernick kneeling

and him having a job. It's about the people and us having the freedom to speak our mind and to do what's right, you know? So the fact that Jay-Z is coming to the table, you know, with Roger Goodell, like, that's a huge step. You know what I'm saying? Like, we don't stop the movement because Martin died.

Like, we got to keep on progressing. It's just like, oh, Martin died. We ain't want to do nothing with nobody. Like, no, you got to continue to have these conversations and assert ourselves in these spaces as owners to really make change and put your money where your mouth is. Like, it's the perfect move. Jay been doing this and doing this.

It's like you're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't. I remember he got flack because it's like all these things were happening. It's just like, well, Jay got all this money. He ain't doing nothing. Though he was doing something under the current, now he's doing all these things were happening. It's just like, well, Jay got all this money. He ain't doing nothing. Though he was doing something under the current, now he's doing all these things. He's helping me. He did the Trayvon Martin doc. He's

creating trust funds. 21 Savage a lawyer. So, you've got this resume of doing things out in the open and it's even longer and deeper resume of doing things, you know, behind the scenes. We set up a trust fund for Sean Bell's kids. That's what I'm saying.

We questioning it now? That makes no sense. Like, at some point, we just got to stop wanting to be mad just to be mad and look at the bigger picture. Absolutely. Like, what's happening? Everybody just want to be mad now. Like, okay, you can be mad, but what's going to be mad doing?

You got to do something about it. And Jay's actually taking action and doing something about it. And why do we have to pick a side? Like, why can't we want it to work for Jay in the NFL? And why can't we want Cap to be back in the league at the same time, too? Exactly. Those things don't have to be set. You know, you can have both of them at the same time. Like, as long as it's progressing towards a goal.

Like, this is how Jay Torres chooses to do his part. And Cap and Nick Cho chooses to do his part this way. We all fighting the same fight. Yeah, two different causes of action to one role, but now we all in fighting. And as Hov said, nobody wins when the family fused. Nobody wins when the family fused. And it's just like, you know,

who's to say that Jay can have this big conversation and then try to bring... Nobody knows what the plan was. We not even giving him a chance to even see how it unfolds. So, you know, the idea is beautiful. I'm excited to see what happens with it. Absolutely. And when is Eve dropping?

August 23rd, Friday. My current favorite best rapper of any gender. That's just my personal opinion. Amen, I receive that. It could be Carolina Bias, I don't know. Nah, nah, we ain't gonna do that. That's right. It's not. I'm real with mine. It's the Breakfast Club. It's Rhapsody. Morning, everybody. It's

DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Angie Martinez. Spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, congratulations to Angie Martinez. Her new show, Untold Stories of Hip Hop, premieres September 26th on WE tv. Dropping the clues bombs for Angie Martinez, damn it.

The legend. She posted, thank you guys so much for the incredible response to my show announcement today. It means a lot to me, and I never take support or love for granted. Now here is the trailer for her new show. The reputation is that you're in foreign lands going crazy. These stories making me sound terrible. Has anybody ever heard this story?

No. Legend has it. Biggie said, You and Pop? They missed. I'm scared. What do you mean? Because it's Beyonce.

Puffy grabs the microphone and says, A million dollars for the head of LL Cool J. You were negotiating. It's the same dude that kidnapped DMX. Were you in fear of your life? I could have died and nobody cared. I'm a pretty boy. You know what I'm saying?

Jail is not a place for me. All right. I can't wait to see it. Angie Ma. That's right. I love seeing died and nobody cared. I'm a pretty boy. You know what I'm saying? Jail is not a place for me. All right. Angie Ma. That's right. I love seeing Angie Ma on TV. She's got all kind of people on this show. Just from what I seen on the trailer, I saw Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky, The Locks, Fat Joe, Ice T, Snoop Dogg.

It's going to be amazing. Who's not sitting down? Queen Latifah, MC Lyte. Who's not sitting down? Angie Martinez. Right. So get ready for that. Cardi B. Angie Martinez, of course. Right. So get ready for that. September 26th.

Congratulations to Angie Martinez. All right. And let's talk about Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx. It appears they have ended their relationship. They were together for six years. And apparently they broke up just in May. And he's already been spotted out and about with another woman. And that woman, he has said, or as sources are saying, is a singer named Stella Vave, and he's been helping her out with her career.

But it looks like it could be more than that. Question, are you a singer if you haven't blown yet, or are you just a person who sings? You're a singer. You could be a singer and never be famous. Because when you think singer, you think of people that's already like popping, popping, right? No, you could be a famous singer or a singer. You could be a singer in church. Yeah, there's all kinds of singers.

You're really just a person who sings. Yes. You could be a, you're still a singer. You just haven't broken, but you're a singer. Like Beyonce's a singer.

Jill Scott is a singer. You could be a singer. They make money for singing. Yeah. You're just a person who sings. Jamie Foxx was spotted with a person who sings. For now.

For now. For now. That's not true. I think if you sing and you are aspiring for something, you're still a singer. No one can take that from you. Alright, now DMX, he has re-proposed to his long-time girlfriend. After they

broke up, they were at their son Exodus' third birthday party at Sky Zone. Apparently, they had gotten into it earlier and the day had even broken up and then this happened. We were supposed to be getting married, but earlier today we broke up. That's why she had a ring on her necklace. So we're basically not together no more. They've been together for eight years, and they've been engaged for about four years now,

so I guess it's going to go down soon. Congratulations to the dog, DMX. All right, now let's... I just want to say I would love to see DMX in Sky Zone. DMX is a lot of fun. I would love to see DMX jumping around in Sky Zone with his kids. I would love to see that. All right, now state of the culture.

Let's discuss Remy Ma. She has said what she had to say about beef between Joe Button and Nicki Minaj. And here's what Remy Ma had to say as she chimed in on their whole situation. I watched it, and I got some of the things that she was saying because I know how that feels to feel like people that were supposed to be your friends or people that you thought was cool with you, and then they say some left field. You're like, damn, like I thought we was all right. I know that feeling. It's upsetting. It makes makes you angry it makes you want to come for them so there she is taking

you know the side of nikki minaj and then and empathizing with how nikki minaj felt when she heard joe button going at her and then she had the opportunity to confront him head on i don't see the problem there's no problem yeah when artists when artists have a problem with media personalities that they don't like what we're saying, they have the right to come up here and confront us. Correct. Alright, now Lamar Odom, he says that he is done watching porn.

He's trying to be better. And, you know, he has a new girlfriend, Sabrina Parr, and she's been helping him out with his diet, with his workouts, because she does fitness. And here's what the two of them had to say. Lamar, what have you cut back that you really used to love to indulge in? Family and porn. Why would you say porn is a negative thing for relationships?

Well, he was a sex addict. You can't watch porn if you're a sex addict. This is true. You can't have a healthy life, you know? Or be with me. How long has it been, Lamar, since you? Miami, maybe about a month. But what's the problem with being a sex addict with your wife?

Well, he's cut back on the porn, is what she's saying. So he's not watching porn anymore. Yeah, but I'm saying if you're watching porn and it gets you excited, and you're with your wife, and you and your wife getting it in, what's the problem? Maybe he's not getting it in with his wife, he's just getting it in with his hair. Also, when people have... Jesus Christ. Also, when people have, like, real addictions,

I guess certain things you have to cut out from your daily activities. Imagine being jealous of your man's hand. And it might be a trigger for him to do other things that he was doing. I mean, he really went on a downward spiral. So if he feels like I have to go cold turkey on certain things, then he has to go cold turkey

if that's his way to heal. Masturbation definitely decreases your chance of smoking rocks, though. Because think about after you masturbate, you've got the lotion and stuff. You've got all that stuff, you know, that spunk way to heal. Masturbation definitely decreases your chance of smoking rocks, though. Because think about how after you masturbate, you've got the lotion and stuff, and you've got all that stuff, you know, that spunk on your hand. You're not going to just grab the pipe. And Lamar Odom has said he's had sex with more than 2,000 women,

including strippers and prostitutes. My God. That's all in his book, Darkness to Light. So if you know you have an issue, and you've got to stay away from certain things, then stay away. Alright, I'm Angela Yee and that is your Rumor Report. Alright, thank you, Miss Yee. Charlemagne, let this be a teachable moment

this donkey of the day that's coming up for After The Hour. All you guys that like to stand up women, you're gonna learn something from this, I hope. Let's talk about it for After The Hour. Alright, we'll get into this next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. hope. Let's talk about it for after the hour. Alright, we'll get into this next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Come on in. You are a donkey.

It's time for donkey of the day. I'm gonna fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlamagne to tap these gloves. Let's go. They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. Yeah, man.

Who's donkey of the day today? Donkey of the day. But Tuesday, August 20th goes to a young woman named Tijah Russell. Tijah is 29 years old, and she's from the great state of New Jersey. Dropping the clues, boss, for New Jersey, damn it. Now, before we talk about Tijah, let me ask you allall a question out there. When the last time you got stood up? When is the last time you told someone you wanted to take them out and didn't show up, huh? When is the last time you told someone to come over and you fell asleep on their ass? I have homeboys now who are not married, not in a committed relationship, not part of this faithful black male community and they tell me stories like this all the time especially when we out

of town alright women come to the hotel and be downstairs in the lobby for hours because said individual has fallen asleep on their ass every time I hear stories like this I feel for those women because to me this is a different level of disrespect alright if a man calls you over and tells you that he fell asleep on you, he's either A, lying because he was going through his phone and decided to call a couple different chicks, and whoever got there first is who he's with, hence why he is not answering for you,

or B, you just don't excite him like that, okay? You're not falling asleep on a woman you are really excited to see. In fact, that adrenaline rush you get from seeing or being around a woman you're into is going to wake your ass fact, that adrenaline rush you get from seeing or being around a woman you're into is going to wake your ass up. All right. You got a woman coming over. You get excited. All right. You think you're going to get some ass. So you go hop your ass in the shower and that shower going to wake you up. Then you're going to lotion up, throw on some basketball shorts and a fresh t-shirt, spray some cologne on, roll up something, smoke, pour you a glass of something, and wait for the young lady you called over to arrive.

Okay? I fell asleep. You fell asleep? How boring was your box? You know, the box that you... How boring was your box that the thought of you coming over puts a man to sleep? All right? So, yes, ladies, you should feel extremely disrespected

when you come to see a man and he tells you, I fell asleep. You wouldn't feel disrespected, G, if that happened to you? Yeah, I'd be annoyed that I came out of my way. And that's exactly what happened to Taja M. Russell. Now, according to the New York Daily News, Taja was the side chick. All right? That's the New York Daily News words, not mine.

All right? Taja was this young man. She was visiting side chick, and the young man told authorities that he asked Russell to come to his house for sex. But he fell asleep before she arrived disrespectful when taja got to the man's house she called him eight times eight times but he didn't pick up after eight phone calls she allegedly texted man i see you wanna die followed by you wasted my money to come out of here and then around 4 a.m security cameras saw majin knocking on this young man's door and he still didn't answer ladies when this is over

rewind and listen to what i said about a man disrespecting you the level of disrespect this young woman taja received it's four in the morning you got there and called eight times you knocked on his door and he egging the hell out of you. Not to mention you already his side chick. What else is there to do, especially after you sent him the I see you want to die text? Well, you got to attempt to kill him. Let's go to News 12, New Jersey to see how Taja and Russell handled this situation. A woman is accused of setting a man's home on fire after she was invited over for a late night rendezvous. Police say this month, 29-year-old Tasia Russell went to the home on Barber Avenue. NorthJersey.com reports the man

fell asleep, did not answer the door. They say that's when Russell set the home on fire. The man was taken to the hospital with burns and smoke inhalation. Taja was determined to have a hot date. All right? Remember when I told you that if a man falls asleep on you before you get there, that means the thought of your poom-poom makes him sleepy? You out there giving out that boring-ass box? Well, I think Taja realized that in her mind, and she was not leaving that house that night without the word fire coming out of that man's mouth.

She wanted that word to be used to describe her vagina, but she didn't get that opportunity, so she decided to set his crib ablaze okay i'm gonna be honest with you other than her having an arson charge and an attempted murder charge and being held without bail i kind of feel him all right see let this be a lesson to you fools all right stop standing women up like that after you done wasted their time, energy, and money to come see you. All right, it's disrespectful and just not right. But ladies, don't be like Taja. When a man doesn't value you, doesn't appreciate you, stands you up, don't do what Taja did, even though it hurts not to react.

All right, don't do what Taja did. See, I know you really want to work this out, but I don't think this man is ever going to change. All right? When you do, but they don't, I just think it's best you go your separate ways. All right? Sometimes you have to ask yourself, why should I stay in this relationship?

When you're hurting, baby, you ain't happy, baby. Plus, there's just so many other things you got to deal with, so I just think that you should let it burn. All right? Please let Remy Ma give Taja Russell the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw! Hee-haw! You stupid mother******, you dumb. I might put something on her books.

Wow. I might. I might just buy some M&M's or something. Some peanut M&M's or something. My goodness. I feel her pain a little bit. Alright, well, thank you for that donkey of the day. She was very literal and true to her words. She was. That's what you get for having her hot ass out at four in the morning.

Mm-hmm. Now, when we come back, Jidenna will be joining us. We'll kick it with Jidenna. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, Jidenna. Yeah, yeah. Welcome back, sir. What's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building, Jendetta. Yeah, yeah. Welcome back, sir. What's up, my brother? What's up, what's up? You know what's crazy?

I added you one day on Instagram because there was a young lady up here lusting over you in a real way. Not her. You don't have to look at her. Not her. She was lusting over you in a real way. Did she make googly eyes at you when you walked in? You didn't notice anybody? No.

Who was it? Okay. She walked in. I don't know where she went. I'll put McKayla on blast later. Oh, she was standing over there by him. I saw that. She was, right? I saw her just lurking. I was like, why is she pretending to drink coffee? She don't drink coffee. Exactly. Oh, that's who.

Oh, I got it. I know. She wearing the lavender? Yes. The one that was making you uncomfortable. I could tell. I could tell. Then she the lavender? Yes, yes. Oh. The one that was making you uncomfortable. I could tell. I could tell. Then she go look at people. Look at her. Oh, my God.

Guilty as sin. Holy shit. Oh, my God. Can she be any more thirsty? Why is she in the other stage? Exactly. People was done with the Bilbo Baggins, Colonel Sanders kind of fits. That's what they said.

I don't know what the hell you just said. You know, no, I mean. The old Jidenna. The classic man Jidenna. I love. A classic man. I mean, for me, it was absurd and fly at the same time. Got you.

You know, new album, new looks, but I don't know. I guess. Do you feel like you got trapped in the classic man stereotype? Yeah, definitely. For me, it was like, it's a moment. It's one phase of the wardrobe, but it's not the only thing. So, you know, you evolve

over time. You got a gym membership too, clearly. That's what got all these girls going crazy. You got a trainer, one or the other. You know what it was? When I moved, so I moved to a few countries in Africa for six months.

That's part of where I was. Well, let's start with, you got kicked out of the house in Atlanta, right? Yeah. We started at the top. We didn't buy. We leased this Atlanta mansion. We was like, all right, let's do an album here. Live comfortably.

You know, we were paying the lease. Owner wasn't paying. Landlord wasn't paying. The lease wasn't paying. Nah, nah. He was talking in the money. It was black because he was black. You know what I mean?

Of all people, I hate when that happens. One day, forecloses, goes up for auction, we didn't know. And we got blindsided in the crosshair. Police come knocking. Did you get your stuff out at least? Yeah, I mean, luckily the sheriff was cool. Because we had a lot of things in the house. Mostly legal. Mostly legal? Just a wee of things in the house, like mostly legal.

Mostly legal? Just a weed. That's all. And you know Georgia. Guns. Yeah. So that could have been a headline, though. It could have been like, classic man with the narcotics and ammunition.

I didn't want to go down like that, so I was out of there. Headlines alone. Yeah, that would have been terrible. So we was out. I had to go on tour. Went on tour. The Tour ends in Africa. And after that, like, it was like a year and a half into Trump's presidency. We was like, ****, I'm coming back.

Well, I'm going to stay here because I don't want to go back there. So I was like, you know what? We good. And we lived in South Africa predominantly for six months. Trump would be proud of you. You went back to where you came from. When I went to school, I remember the white kids in the school would be like, you should go back to Africa where you came from.

I used to take offense to it then, but now... You was out. I don't know if I take offense anymore. It's good advice. What part of Africa? It was Nigeria, South Africa, but I ended up going to Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland. I was smoking with like 21 princesses in Swaziland because they got this weed out there called Swazi Gold.

There's just crazy experiences that you have. And so for me, I came back with a new type of power. Chappelle did this. Kendrick Lamar before To Pimple Butterfly. They take these expeditions and come back with that new, like, I feel like a global black empowerment. So you never feel like a minority. I don't feel like none of us in this room are minorities anymore.

And this is the 400th year of American slavery. Yep, 1619, 400 years ago, year return. I don't know if you saw this. You probably did. So the president of Ghana just announced recently that if you're African-American that if you're an african american if you're caribbean america or just from the diaspora and go back to ghana and trace your roots or whatnot even if you just live there you're going to be granted voting rights in ghana

yeah wow which is revolutionary say we get another trump like i do think he's going to win this year but say we got another one And we already seen the game That means that you can be like You know what for the next four years I'm out And you can actually vote for policies that change things You feel out of place in America

When you're so connected to the motherland Like after staying there you feel out of place Yeah I do Honestly New York is one of the few cities I feel at home at because it's so international. It feels like an island off the coast of America. It kind of is. Now, we really mad that you didn't make the cut for Lion King?

Bruh, I don't know why. He said it mad just now. Why the whole thing changed, bro? I don't know why that happened. To me, that's Scar's spirit. Scar was a pimp. Scar was a f***ing b***h. He was. He was, but if you're going Scar was a f***ing b***h he was

he was but if you gonna play f***ing b***h I go all the way with it so I thought I was going all the way Disney got all these phallic symbols

and the email comes like you know a couple we're still deliberating we got nah nah did you watch it I actually didn't see the movie did you go watch it that's what I was gonna say The email comes like, you know, a couple, we're still deliberating. We got... Nah. Nah. Did you watch it? I actually didn't see the movie yet.

Did you go watch it? That's what I was going to say. I haven't seen it myself. I didn't like it. Did you like the album? The album was cool. The album was fine. Yeah, I loved it.

Like, Beyonce, I know she was a fan of Afrobeats, and Afrobeats, like, fell out of the music. She had a hidden album I heard, like, six years ago, and she didn't think America was ready for it so she's a legit like follower and student of Afro beats and the different waves in Africa so for her to do that I heard I don't know this I can't confirm but like I heard six years ago she did it yeah what's the message in telling your story with tribe like what's the story you're trying to convey we we we are We are ironic human beings. We live in a paradox where we are tribal,

and we need that me and mine to survive. But we also know there's only one tribe, which is humanity. It's just like black people. You could be from L.A. You can be from the East Coast. Look at, like, the 90s beef. It was very tribal. Now look at us, where East Coast, West Coast, ain't even a thing. That's how we live. So that's the ideas beef. It was very tribal. Now look at this where East Coast,

West Coast, ain't even a thing. That's how we live. So that's the idea behind tribe. It's like on one hand we are one tribe, on the other hand,

nah, it's just my tribe. I mean, you see the whole thing with what's going on with Jay and Kaepernick right now. That's literally tribalism at its finest.

I hate it. That we can't hold two thoughts at the same time. Kaepernick has every right to move the way he moves, and he has a right to feel some kind of way about it. Jay-Z can also move his own way. He has a right to move and to feel like,

yo, I've represented y'all. Trust me. Word! These are two thoughts, and I get why people can feel a certain way. It's all right. What's not okay is to just cancel. We can't let this situation divide us.

But it is okay to question people's motives. Absolutely. No, it's not. I say question and hold people accountable, but I think you have to look at the habits of a person. Do I trust Kaepernick and Nessa's intention and their methods? Yes. Do I trust Jay-Z's intentions Nessa's intention and their methods? Yes. Yes.

Do I trust Jay-Z's intentions and methods? Yes. Yes. No, and he's right. It is okay to question, but we're not questioning. They're saying,

oh, Jay just did it for the money. How the f*** do you know what's in his head and in that man's heart? Yeah, I don't believe that. And you can have two different courses of action

as long as you got the same goal. I saw you said that and I 100% agree to that. Introduce your record, man. Let's get into your record. What's up, y'all? This is Jidenna, and this is the brand new record, Tribe, off 85 to Africa. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Jidenna. Now, women love you. Just got a text from McKellis. You said, ask him if he's single, but it's not coming from me. Oh, yeah. Sure.

Yeah, you know what it is? Yes, I am single. And I'm trying to figure out, legit, I'm trying to figure out how to date in this game. I don't get it. What does that mean? I don't understand. He said, what is dating? What do you mean?

You don't date. You're just groupies. No, you're married. Oh, yeah. I mean, oh, wow. Well. Well, so go ahead. Yeah, I mean, so I was talking to a few people.

Like, how do you, I don't know how to do it. I'm not a groupie person. I don't enjoy that. I wish I did. It'd be a lot easier. Anymore or you just never was? Never, never was. Never was.

I didn't trust it. When's the last time you've been on a date? I kind of did a makeshift one like a couple days ago. What's makeshift one a pop-up yeah a pop-up after the pop-up yeah it was quick it the tough part is the time thing right so like if you're looking for connection you don't have a lot of time to build that like in this in this game that i'm looking for mentorship in this i can't y'all youall, you know, y'all got the rings on. I've been with the same girl for 22 years. Yeah, see, I'm like that.

It's just like once I broke up with certain women, it was a wrap for me. So now the other thing I explore is polyamory and see if that works. Nothing wrong with that. And polyamory to me is the agreement of honesty first and foremost. And the first thing you got to be honest about is, like, most human beings don't want to stay f***ing the same person their whole life. That is not true.

You keep that devil to yourself. I'm not a girl to you, brother. I ain't spreading those evil lies. I'll let you keep talking, though. I'm listening. The second thing is that not only that, most people are not going to just have connection with the same person

their whole life. But see, you know, this is the monogamy talking. 25 years, 22. Congratulations. Congratulations. I think that y'all in the minority in those terms. I was a notorious cheater now. I'm not going to say anything. We all f***ed up though. We all get twisted.

So anyway, DeJana, let me ask you this. So when you say polyamory, it's okay for the women to be with other men also? Absolutely. I've been in that relationship. I've done that. What do you mean? I've been in a relationship.

You was cool with it? Yeah. Was I cool? It was one of the most difficult things I ever had. This tattoo took 26 hours. I did it in like one sitting, essentially. The pain that I felt knowing that she was with another man is one of the worst pains

I felt in my life. How old were you when this was happening? This was a few years ago. You gotta explain, brother. I haven't heard this out of your game. I had to do that

because what am I, like what kind of man am I to tell a woman that you can't be with somebody else when I'm out here being with somebody else? A man man.

Nah, not at all. I'm a boy. A real man. Tuesday, she with you. Tuesday, she with you. Wednesday, she with you. Throw some balls on it. Huh? You said what?

Monday, she with somebody else. Tuesday, she with you. Wednesday, possibly somebody else. And what about, and he's with somebody else also. Yeah, and I was too. You knew the people? Yeah. So what?

You ain't really light-skinned, boy, because I'd have cried in the corner, man. How'd you do it? I'm sure she felt the way, too, when you're with other women. Yeah, I have to know. I have to know. So you knew the dude? Y'all were cool? Yeah.

Oh my goodness. I had to know. It wasn't like we like buddy, buddy, buddy like this is my best friend. It's just that I knew of him. So he can call you and be like I'm sending her back home? Like she's coming back home?

Over the door? He could if he wanted. That's not how it went down. But yeah. Like I'm not holding on to the woman like that. Like I don't, I don't control her destiny. You know what I'm saying?

So if I want something, like it's gotta be some balance. So to go through that allowed me to understand what it is. And that's why I'm saying I can do it. But here's the thing

with this Polynesian relationship. Polynesian sauce. Polyamorous. Polyamorous. Polyamorous. My goodness. It would be different if you and the guy

were both this woman's man. Just the fact that you're just letting another guy smash your chick, but then you're giving her all the emotional and spiritual. No, no, it wasn't just smashing. The thing about polyamory, it's not swinging most of the time. It's actually like there's a connection. So y'all in a relationship? I guess you could say that totally, but it's like I didn't have a relationship with him. We weren't friends.

It wasn't nothing like that. It's that she has a relationship. It's like a constellation. You know what I'm saying? Who's the big dipper? Because that's what I would want to know. If this is a constellation, I need to know who the big dipper is. This is crazy.

We actually got closer because of that. So where'd she go Valentine's? Where'd she go Christmas? Oh, no. If I'm the main partner, that's with me. She was able to dibble and dabble in other things? Yeah, to me, I don't think that that's, again, like I said, it's one of the most difficult.

I had a lot of tattoos. The tattoo, I've been shot before. That pain, I felt, was like the worst thing. Yeah, that sounds like a tribe called Scress, my brother. Like, I don't lot of tattoos. I've been shot before. That pain I felt was like the worst thing. Yeah, that sounds like a tribe called Scress, my brother. Like, I don't even want that. I don't think I would want that in my life. So you don't think about him smashing her? Like, damn, is he putting it down better than me?

Is he f***ing it better than me? None of that. You think about all that. Did you ask those questions? I thought about it. I didn't want to know. My woman cheated on me. I definitely asked.

I needed to know. Is he bigger? Is he better? I needed to know. Could she answer the me. I definitely asked. I needed to know. Is he bigger? Is he better? I needed to know. Could she answer the phone for him if you guys were together? Sure. I don't. It didn't go down like that.

She kind of had her own separate relationship. And it's all good. But could she answer the phone? Like you're sitting right there. And she's like, one second, Jidenna. Hey, baby. Honestly, like I got to a point where I wouldn't be tripping. Like my grandfather had seven wives.

I never met him. I seen a picture with him and there was three of the seven wives, one of which was my father's mother. I remember the look on their faces and they were not happy. Ask any woman who's been in a polygamous

relationship. I guarantee they didn't enjoy it. Ask any woman who's been in a polygamous relationship. I guarantee they didn't enjoy it. Ask any woman who's been cheated on. They didn't enjoy it. So to me, and I'm not perfect, but these are the steps I feel like we have to take as men. It's not easy. It's not for the weak. But women have been doing that for thousands of years. And we

still here in 2019 and can't deal with it. If they do one little thing that we've done. One. Most of us have multiple. I don't want you to talk to him. Cut his mic off. I'm just kidding. You guys are shouting about the women but not about him.

What did that girl shoot you with? How'd you get shot? No, I got shot as a child when I was six. My family went through, unfortunately, went through a robbery. And you know, in most robberies, when the robber wants to say,

hey, I mean business, they shoot up. Right. They shot down. And that's where I was. Holy cow. So they caught me in my foot. Luckily, we escaped.

They went to go rob somebody else. This was on a highway. This was in Nigeria. Nigeria. And for the record, I want to paint Nigeria like this is what happens. It's like painting the U.S. based on mass shootings. Right. They're isolated incidents.

It's like scamming in Nigeria. It happens. It happens. And the reason why Nigerians are known for scamming is not because we're bad people. It's because we're smarter than a lot of people. So, like, as criminals, we're going to be top athletes. We're going to be the best at hacking. That's what it is.

It's okay. Do you have a scam before? Huh? You can go ahead. You start speaking pidgin' all of a sudden. Huh? Yeah, you can go ahead. You start speaking pigeon all of a sudden. Uh, no, I didn't scam, no. I mean, I've done some things.

All right. You know what I mean? I used to sell chains in Chinatown. No, for real? Yeah. Canal Street, and I'd go take it

to downtown Crossland in Boston. I'd get it for cheap. I'd know all, like, in the hood, I'd know all the latest jewelry, and then I would get the cheap ones in Chinatown and sell it to white boys

in the suburbs. That was a scam. You ever dated a fat white woman for room and board? Wow. 90 Day Fiance. Wow. Never. Never. My goodness. All right, Jadena. Jadena was a very interesting person. I don't think you tell your story enough, Jadena. I think you need to do a documentary or something. Yeah, I want

to do, like, an animated doc. I love you need to do a documentary or something. Yeah, I want to do like an animated doc. I love animation right now. I may do that. But yeah, I mean, I'm telling it here. Alright, well, we appreciate you for joining us. It's Jidenna. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. C-J-N-V-Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast

Club. We're still kicking it with Jidenna. Now, women love you. I just got a text from McKellis. You said, ask him if he's single, but it's not coming from me. Oh, Lord. Sure. Yeah, you know what it is? Yes, I am single. And I'm trying to figure out, legit, I'm trying to figure out how to date in this game.

I don't get it. What does that mean? I don't understand. He said, what is dating? What do you mean? You don't date. You're just fucking groupies. No, you're married.

Oh, yeah. I mean, oh, wow. Well You're just groupies. No, you're married. Oh, yeah. I mean, oh, wow. Well. Well, so go ahead. Yeah, I mean, so I was talking to a few people. Like, how do you, I don't know how to do it. I'm not a groupie person. I don't enjoy that.

I wish I did. It'd be a lot easier. Anymore or you just never was? Never, never was. Never was. I didn't trust it. When's the last time you've been on a date? I kind of did a makeshift one

a couple days ago. What's a makeshift one? A pop-up? A pop-up date? A pop-up after the pop-up. It was quick. The tough part is the time thing, right? So if you're looking for connection, you don't have a lot of time to build that in this game. I'm looking for mentorship

in this. I can't. Y'all, you know, y'all got the rings on. I've been with the same girl for 22 years. Yeah, see, I'm like that. It's just like once I broke up with certain women, it was a wrap for me. So now the other thing I explore is polyamory,

The pain that I felt knowing that she was with another man is one of the worst pains I felt in my life. How old were you when this was happening? This was a few years ago. You gotta explain, brother. I haven't heard this side of the game. I had to do that

because what kind of man am I to tell a woman that you can't be with somebody else when I'm out here being with somebody else? A man-man. A real man. I'm a boy. A real man. Tuesday, she with you.

Wednesday, she with you. Throw some balls on you. Huh? You said what? Monday, she with somebody else. Tuesday,

she with you. Wednesday, possibly somebody else. And what about, and he's with somebody else also. Yeah, and I was too. You knew the people?

Yeah. The what? You ain't really light-skinned, boy, because I'd have cried in the corner, man. How'd you do it? I'm sure she felt that way too too, when you're with other women.

Yeah, I have to know. I have to know. So you knew the dude? Y'all were cool? Yeah. Oh, my goodness. I had to know. It wasn't like we like buddy, buddy, buddy, like this is my best friend.

It's just that I knew of him. So he can call you and be like, I'm sending her back home? Like, she's coming back home? Open the door? He could if he wanted. That's not how it went down, but yeah. Like, I'm not holding on to the woman like that. Like I don't control her destiny.

You know what I'm saying? So if I want something, like it's got to be some balance. So to go through that allowed me to understand what it is. And that's why I'm saying I can do it. But here's the thing with this Polynesian relationship. Polynesian sauce. Polyamorous. Polyamorous.

Polyamorous. It would be different if you and the guy were both this woman's man.

The thing about polyamory, it's not swinging most of the time. It's actually like there's a connection.

So y'all in a relationship? I guess you could say that totally but it's like I didn't have a relationship with him we weren't friends it wasn't nothing like that it's that she has a relationship it's like a constellation who's the big differ? cause that's what I would want to know

Again, like I said, it's one of the most difficult. I've had a lot of tattoos. I've been shot before. That pain, I felt, was like the worst thing. Yeah, that sounds like a tribe's one of the most difficult. I've had a lot of tattoos. I've been shot before. That pain, I felt, was like the worst thing. Yeah, that sounds like a tribe called Scress, my brother. Like, I don't even want that. I don't think I would want that in my life. Yeah, what?

So you don't think about him smashing her? Like, damn, is he putting it down better than me? Is he f***ing better than me? No, you think about all that. Did you ask those questions? I thought about it. I didn't want to know. My woman cheated on me.

I definitely asked. I needed to know. Is he bigger? Is he better? I needed to know. Could she answer the phone for him if you guys were together? Sure. I don't.

It didn't go down like that. She kind of had her own separate relationship. And it's all good. But could she answer the phone? Like you're sitting right there and she's like, one second, Jigena. Hey, baby. Honestly, like I got to a point where I wouldn't be tripping.

Like my grandfather had seven wives. I never met him. I seen a picture with him and there was three of the seven wives. You know, one of which was my father's mother. And I remember the look on their faces and they were not happy.

He's off being a bitch and all of a sudden. No, I do a scam now. I mean, I've done some things. All right. You know what I mean? I used to sell chains in Chinatown. No, for real? Yeah.

Canal Street, and I'd go take it to downtown Crossland in Boston. I'd get it for cheap. I'd know all, like, in the hood, I know all the latest jewelry and then I would get the cheap ones in Chinatown and sell it to white boys in the suburbs. That was a scam. You ever dated a fat white woman for room and board? Wow. 90 Day

Fiance, he's talking about. Wow, never. Never. My goodness. Jadenna was a very interesting person. I don't think you tell your story enough, Jadenna. I think you need to do a documentary or something. Yeah, I want to do like an animated doc. I love animation right now. I may do that.

But yeah, I mean, I'm telling it here. All right, well, we appreciate you for joining us. It's Jidenna. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in.

All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. Now 50 Cent was on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and he talked about a few different things. He talked about the rumor that he bought those 200 tickets to a Ja Rule show to make sure there were some empty seats, which I think Ja Rule always says that never really happened but here's what 50 Cent had to say I just happened to see them on the uh on StubHub or something yeah like it was like this for you to buy and I was like that was so cheap I might as well just buy it now in addition to that he talks about Randall Emmett and if you guys remember who that is that was the original person who owed Fafdy money and Fafdy went after him on social media and embarrassed him and eventually

ended up getting his money from him. But here's what he had to say about that. Do you regret taking your beef with Randall to social media? No. I got me paid right away. Paid right away. What's your friendship status with Randall and Lala

currently? I don't have a problem with them. Have you spoken to them since? No, I haven't. Will you be attending their wedding? No, I won't be there. Yeah, you definitely can't regret going at somebody on social media when the reason you went at them was to get your money, and you got your goddamn money.

Yeah, you got your bread back. All right, now let's talk about Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills. He's sharing his thoughts on what he thinks about Jay-Z's Roc Nation partnership with the NFL. And he said some of the ways he answered his questions, talking about we're moving past kneeling like he ever protested. He's not an NFL player. He's never been on a knee.

Choosing to speak for the people like he had spoken to the people. I wonder how many common people that he knows or has spoken to. I wonder if he reads my Facebook comments or my Instagram comments or some of the things people say to me. To say we're moving past something, it didn't seem very informed. Kenny Stills is my guy, but that's not what Jay-Z said. Like, why are we taking this out of context? He absolutely said that taking a knee worked.

The protest worked. It was to raise awareness. After awareness comes action. He says we're past the point of awareness. Now it's time for action. So Nessa responded to that part, right, as far as actionable items. And Nessa is Colin Kaepernick's girlfriend. And she said, you know, she posted and responded in a comment.

She said, Jay-Z said, I think we've moved past kneeling, and I think it's time to go into actionable items. This acts as if Colin Kaepernick didn't donate $1 million to black and brown organizations nationwide as well as organized Know Your Rights camps for the youth. And she said, and raise money to help people get food who are suffering from famine in Somalia, backpack drives, and the list goes on and on. People should be addressing the NFL and Jay-Z for all the disrespectful things that were said at that PR stunt conference.

So we are having competitions on who did what now. I'm not mad at that, by the way. If y'all want to have a competition about who does more for the community, have at it, okay? Alright, now here's something you didn't anticipate. Remember the woman who put up that billboard wanting to be in a Tyler Perry movie?

Yep. And Raquel Bailey is your next leading lady. Well, guess who got a job? Raquel Bailey. She's the one that put up that huge billboard and initially Tyler Perry had said, this is not the way to get my attention and did a whole post about it. But it worked?

Yes, but it did work out. She got a job with Tyler Perry? Yes, she did. But she still had to go on the audition and everything else. See, that's the part that everybody conveniently leaves out. You got to still go do the work. There's no escaping the process. Well, she's been cast two weeks ago

in Tyler Perry's new show for BET called Sisters. And by the way, when she first put that billboard up, she said that she actually had went down there and auditioned. So she auditioned and she got the job. It feels like it got her some extra attention, though. It definitely did. She still had to go do the work.

And got the job. So congratulations to her. Awareness is the billboard. Action is going down there and doing auditions. All right, and congratulations to Teddy Riley. He got honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. So congratulations to Teddy Riley. Shout out to Teddy Riley.

He, of course, thanks other music industry veterans for giving him the roadmap to his career journey and all of that. So congrats. And also coming to America, too, Tracy Morgan has now been added into the mix. Looks like it's going to be a star-studded movie. I just hope it's good.

Yeah, it's got to be good. I'm going to be honest with you. I don't like the fact that it's set in America. I wanted it to be in Zamunda. Because, you know, you think about Black Panther, and one of the reasons we love Black Panther is because the world of Wakanda. We've never really seen the world of Zamunda. Aren't they going there, too, even though it's set?

I heard it's set in America. I heard he comes to America to find his long lost son. So I don't know. Alright, well Wesley Snipes as you know is in it as well. Leslie Jones, Rick Ross and Kiki Lane. I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. Alright, thank you Miss Yee. Now
