Shout out to Reggie, who was the program director. He was like, this is a good brother from Memphis.

his community. And it's just very sad. For what? That's the question you always ask yourself. For what? Why? What was the reason? Like, it's pointless. Silly. A black man can't go get cookies? Like, a black man can't pull up to, you know, a bakery

in his hometown and just pick up some cookies? Come on, man. And just seeing publicly what a great father he was. Just think about those children. But we'll give you the details that we do have. We'll open that up during Front Page News. All right. We'll get into that next when we come back.

The Falcons take on the Patriots tonight at 820. Now, what else we got, Yeezy? Well, we do have to unfortunately say rest in peace to young Dolph. Now, the information we have so far, according to Fox 13 in Memphis, Well, we do have to unfortunately say rest in peace to young Dolph. Now, the information we have so far, according to Fox 13 in Memphis, three independent law enforcement sources said that he was shot and killed Wednesday afternoon. This was after leaving Makita's Butter Cookies. They said that he walked into the store to buy cookies and then someone drove up and shot and killed him at that bakery that was in South Memphis. Shortly before 5 p.m., they did release preliminary information about the shooting.

Officers said the investigation was pointing to Young Dolph being the victim, but they still had to finish the identification process. There is no information about the shooter that has been released by police at this point. Just last week, Young Dolph was promoting this bakery. All I can say is get some Makita. Makita Cook. Get the side. been released by police at this point. Just last week, Young Dolph was promoting this bakery. Now there were hundreds of people that were flocking to that area as headlines were breaking across the world. There was chaos at the scene. A car with a man inside who was apparently shot drove into the crime scene and he was taken away on a stretcher by paramedics.

For hours, they were trying to work to push back the crowd. And they did say that they advised citizens of the city to stay at home. They said, we also strongly encourage everyone to remain calm as we actively perform our investigation. The Memphis Police Department is providing an increased presence in areas of the city that might be directly impacted by this unfortunate incident. And they are doing a curfew in the city as well.

They did shut down Yogati's restaurant because of the public problems that they have had. There were all kinds of rumors going around that, you know, his restaurant was shut up. The black youngster's grandmother's home was shut up. But they said that was not true. So they are just taking precautions. Makita's Cookies did release a statement. We are heartbroken and saddened by the passing of young Dolph.

He was a regular customer and loved Makita's Cookies. My parents are in a lot of pain from this. Our hearts and condolences go out to his family. He will never be forgotten and will be so missed. And a witness at the scene had this to say on the news. Just let out over 50 shots. I'm talking about both of them. We at the shelves and me and my baby getting out the car and I'm talking about all you hear shots so I'm looking come here I'm grabbing my baby to see where they coming from I'm looking and see that it's over at the washer that I was just in yesterday it's the cookie shop next door to the

washer they busting at that month I'm busting number shots two four cars full and pull up all black to one on one car was a white two-row junk. I didn't see the other one, but I seen one in the ducking. So sad, man. And his cousin. Yeah, it's horrible, man. And by the way, he was supposed to pass out turkeys. He does this every year.

He was supposed to do that on Friday between 2 to 5 p.m. His cousin, who is another fellow Memphis rapper, Key Glock, we all know Key Glock, he also deactivated his Twitter account and deleted everything off of his Instagram page. I know this has to be difficult. I saw a lot of people paying homage to him on social media. So again, our condolences to his family,

his beautiful children, wife, everything. I was talking to our good brother, Swiss Beach, yesterday. Before this happened, and we were talking about some things, man, and Swiss said something that stuck with me. He said, being black in America is a group project. He said, we don't get graded as individuals. We always get graded as a whole. And that stuck with me.

And I was like, man, when I saw that happen with Dolph yesterday, I said, wow, once again, we failed the test as a whole. And that stuck with me. And I was like, man, when I saw that happen with Dolph yesterday, I said, wow, once again, we failed the test as a group because a black man can't go buy cookies. And this happens all the time. Like, I will never understand why we cut our nose off to spite our faces. A brother like young Dolph who does so much in the community, helps so many people in his community, shot and killed in his community for what? It's like we're taking out the same people who were sent to help us.

Like Dolph didn't have to be in Memphis no more. He chose to be. He chose to frequent local businesses like that. And now he's dead simply for showing love to the community he came up in. I will never understand it. I just really wish we didn't have to fear our own. All right. Well, that is front page news.

What's going on? Good morning, Breakfast Club. DJ M, D'Angelo Yee. 251. By telling them the truth, sir. mental health and stuff, and you're talking about hurt people hurt people. Dog, you know how many anxiety, how much anxiety you gave kids that hurt there yesterday, man? By telling them the truth, sir? No, it's not. It is what it is. I feel what you're saying, but that is something that we all grow out of. You know what I'm saying?

You know how we talk about breaking generational curses? No. You know how we talk about breaking generational curses? I explained to, I explained to my granddaughter yesterday that Santa Claus, Santa Claus works

for Jesus. Jesus gives him the names and stuff like that to give to the kids so they can go out, you know, like be good citizens,

good people, help people, you know, have good hearts to people. My granddaughter started crying yesterday over that. Yeah, I mean, well, Santa is real and if you have kids in the car, we'll turn the radio

down now. You shouldn't say that, man. And parents can tell their kids what they want. If you want the tooth fairy, if you want Santa, and then, you know, it is what it is. That's how it is. I choose to tell my kids the truth.

Can I ask you a question? Yes, sir. Can I ask you a question? Yes. What do your, you have, I know you have four daughters. What do they believe in? That besides Jesus, do they believe in Minnie Mouse, Darla Duck? What do they believe in?

No, they are fully aware that those are fictional characters, sir. Okay, they are fully aware that those are fictional characters, sir. Okay, they are fully aware. So if I have the right to tell your daughter, just in case they do believe in something that is fictional, do I have the right to tell them that, no, that's not real? Yes, you do. I would want you to tell them the truth. No, I mean, I don't think that's anybody's place.

Hey, my brother, think about this, right? And I do't think that's anybody's place with the parents. Think about this, right? And I do believe in God and I do believe in Jesus. But you're telling them that a white Jesus tells a white Santa Claus to do for your children. I don't teach my granddaughter. I never taught my

kids that Jesus was white, that Santa Claus was white. I see many of black Santas. I have pictures with Black Santas. I see so many of them. I have pictures with Black Santas. I got a Black Santa coming to my car show in Miami. I'm going to be honest with you.

I'm not debating about this. I respect you, brother. I respect your opinion. This is a foolish debate. That's why you're laughing. This sounds ridiculous to you. I'm laughing because everybody has ridiculous to even debate. No, I'm laughing because everybody had their opinion, Big Dog.

So like I said, you talk about, you always talking about mental stress and mental anxiety and stuff like that. All these kids that you told that to, Dog,

you put a whole bunch of mental anxiety on them. Hold on, don't blame me because y'all been lying to the kids and I told them the truth. Oh, no. No, no, come on, man. Y' because y'all been lying to the kids and I told them the truth. Oh, no.

No, come on, man. Y'all caught that stress by lying to them children. Let me ask you one simple question. We're not lying to the children. Oh, can I ask you one simple question? One simple question. What's the point of the lie? It's really not a lie, dog.

It's a lie, but it's not a lie. You know what I'm saying? It's just that it lie, dog. It's a lie, but it's not a lie. You know what I'm saying? It's just a talent thing. It's just like with DJ Envy. It's a talent thing. With your older kids, do they tell your younger kids that there's not a Santa Claus? No, because there is a Santa Claus. See, I believe in imagination.

I believe in kids having a chance to dream. And for me, it's fun. You let a kid be a kid, man. And I'm going to let kids be a kid. But see, you also talking about somebody who grew up seven day event, the dream. And for me, it's fun and it gives me excitement. And I'm going to let kids be kids. You also talking about somebody who grew up seven day event, whatever he grew up and he didn't celebrate a lot of stuff that we celebrate. I celebrate

Christmas. I celebrate holidays. I celebrate the Tooth Fairy. I celebrate all that. And I love to see my kids smile when I celebrate them. So for myself, I don't let anybody tell my kids what's true and what's not true. That's me and my wife's kids. That's just me. Well, I tell you what, number one, it has nothing to do with me being a Jehovah

Witness because we do celebrate it in my house. But I tell you this, when them little kids is in the hood and they writing these letters to Santa Claus and Santa Claus don't never bring them nothing, that is cruel and unusual punishment. That is mental anguish. But you ain't those kids' parents though. That ain't your right to explain it. You ain't those kids' parents, though. That ain't your right to explain it.

You ain't those kids' parents. What are you talking about? These kids have hope. These kids have this imagination that y'all talking about. You telling these kids, write to this Santa Claus, and Santa Claus will bring you whatever he want with these flying reindeer and come down a chimney that you don't even have.

And these kids, every year, get disappointed because they're writing these letters to Santa, and you tell them, well, you didn't get what you wanted because you weren't nice this year. Like, man, stop that, man. That's the real thing. Not every kid gets every gift. I didn't get every gift that I wanted as a kid.

My kids don't get every gift. The kids in the hood get nothing. These porn disenfranchised kids get nothing, but they have all this hope that y'all giving them about this fake Santa Claus. But God bless to each of them. I think every kid at some point grows out of it. I don't think

any adult is going to believe it. What's the point? Get it off your chest. What's the point of telling them from the beginning? 885-1051. Now we got rumors on the way, Yee? Yes, and Portia has spoken about her own experience with R. Kelly this is her first time talking about it we'll tell you what she had to say all right we'll get into it next it's the

Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. The Rumor Report. Got gossip. Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club.

Well, really, that infamous 2004 Super Bowl halftime show. Now, there's a documentary that's coming out tomorrow. The New York Times presents Malfunction, the dressing down of Janet Jackson. It comes on on FX and Hulu tomorrow night. And the trailer is available. Here is some of what they're going to be talking about as they unpack everything that

happened during that halftime show. If the culture wars could have a 9-11, it's February 1st, 2004. The term wardrobe malfunction has been burned into our cultural consciousness. Someone thought this would be a good idea, and it backfired. It sure seemed like

they were trying to diminish Janet's career. Her career gets put on ice and Justin is rewarded. There was no equality of punishment. Former MTV senior vice president Sally Fotini says that she felt betrayed by the two of them when their performance happened with Justin Timberlake exposing Janet Jackson's breast. She said, I was a wreck. Personally, I pretty much just lost it. I was in tears. People were crying.

It was really upsetting. It was very emotional. I felt betrayed. My instincts told me there was a private conversation between wardrobe stylists and artists where someone thought this would be a good idea. And it backfired. There were 150 million people watching when that happened and it was a fallout for Janet Jackson, but clearly not for Justin Timberlake.

Yeah, I wonder if anyone reached out to Justin Timberlake to be in any of those docs, whether it was that one or the Janet Jackson one because he needs to do one of them because he's going to end up apologizing once both those documentaries drop.

So he might as well have just participated in one of them. Did he apologize already? Didn't he? I can't remember. He did, but another one's coming. After those docs drop, after that one drops and the Janet Jackson one drops, he's going to be apologizing.

As I said, he might as well have just participated. I would have participated in the Janet one if they'd have asked me if I was Justin Timberlake. Now, Janet said, they said Janet never said anything to them. And then they did speak to Justin Timberlake And they pulled him aside One on one like Justin what happened And they said he was very apologetic And he said I was told you guys knew

And so they said Eventually Janet apologized in a press statement And said that MTV was completely Unaware of it but you know the damage Was done her album Demita Jo Was released nearly two months after that, and it was her first album in 20 years to not reach number one on the Billboard 200.

She was fired from playing Lena Horne in a TV biopic about Lena Horne, and Disneyland even removed a statue of Mickey Mouse dressed in her Rhythm Nation outfit. Wow. I didn't know all those things happened. And think about how much culture has changed since then. No one would even care about that now. I even think about the, what year was that little Kim wore the outfit at the MTV Awards

where her breast was out a little bit? 2000 something. What year was that? Was that before or after? That was after the Super Bowl, after this happened, right? No, that was way before. Yeah. Way before.

It was before? Mm-hmm. So why did they care so much? Because it was regular TV? Because it was regular TV? Because it was regular TV. Instead of cable? Yeah, and kids were watching. They were saying.

And guess what? In 2021, even if that happened on regular TV, nobody would care. Nah, so much happens on regular TV now. I'd be like, what? Even with the things that they say now on regular TV, it'd be wow. All right, now an R. Kelly associate, and he's actually related to R. Kelly's former publicist, has gotten eight years in prison. And that was for setting one of his accusers' cars on fire. 38-year-old Michael Williams, he pleaded guilty to an arson charge.

He admitted that he traveled to the home of one of R. Kelly's accusers, set fire to a vehicle that was parked outside her residence in Florida. And so they also found traces. Of an accelerant. Outside the witness's home. And they saw he had conducted internet searches. About the detonation properties of fertilizer. And diesel fuel. Witness intimidation. Witness tampering.

And countries that do not have extradition agreements. With the United States. My goodness. He googled all of that on his laptop. And then kept his laptop. Oh my goodness. He Googled all of that on his laptop and then kept his laptop. Oh, my goodness. All right. Now, Portia Williams is also talking to authorities,

and that's about her own experience with R. Kelly. She said, I realized it was my opportunity to help anyone who's been hurt by him. She told this to People magazine, and she's opening up for the first time about what her experience was like. And she shared her story with investigators. She said, there have been so many other instances where I have been abused by men that my mentality at that time was of an abused person. And it was okay for me to be treated like that. She met a friend of R. Kelly's in 2007.

She was considering a career in music. She was 25 years old. She was flown to Chicago to meet R. Kelly, potentially work with him. She thought she would be driven to a recording studio when she got there, but instead she was taken to his home. After an initial introduction, she said someone led her to his bedroom and left her alone there for hours. When R. Kelly finally joined her, he told her to take off her clothes. And she said, and this is all in her book, by the way, The Pursuit of Portia that comes out

November 30th. She says she already put herself in that position and she felt like this is what you're supposed to do. You have to. There is no turning back. And so she saw him two more times and says in her book, she encountered several young women who were also staying at his home home and she decided not to see him again after she woke up one day and heard a woman being beaten in another room and she said she kept it a secret for years it's not something you want to tell your mom because my mom is a very strong woman and she did her very best in raising me and I think for any woman or man who's been in an abusive situation you don't want to tell your parents because you don't want them to think that they had let you down in any way wow never knew that story right all right and let's end this on a good note will smith said he was honored to give his king richard cast and crew

bonuses he said all i can do is my part we have spoken about this earlier how he gave everybody cash sums because he wanted to give them some additional money. It's being streamed simultaneously when it gets released. And that's tomorrow, as a matter of fact. Here's what he had to say when he spoke to Entertainment Tonight. You got everybody paid. How important was that to get folks bonuses for you to speak up about the pay equity? Yeah, you know, all I can do is my part.

And, you know, everybody put in brilliant work. It was the COVID shutdown. So, you know, it felt like, you know, people really stuck with us and all of that. And then it was, you know, a much more difficult process than anybody thought they were signing up for. You know, so I just felt that it was fair. Dope. King Richard dropping tomorrow, and I haven't even finished the Will Smith book yet. I guess I gotta put the book down tomorrow to watch King Richard,

huh? Or at some point this weekend. You can stream it on HBO Max or see it in the theaters. Alright, and that is your rumor report. Alright, front page news next. What are we talking about? Well, Travis McMichael has taken the stand. He's the man who fatally shot Ahmaud Arbery and we'll tell you what he had to say

in his own defense. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. He's the man who fatally shot Ahmaud Arbery and we'll tell you what he had to say in his own defense. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Naga. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to some front page news. Now on Thursday Night Football as tonight New England takes on

the Falcons at 820. Now what else we got Yeezy? Alright, well let's continue talking about uh travis mcmichael has taken the stand he's the man who fatally shot him at arbery and he took the stand in his own defense yesterday afternoon and he testified that during what he described a life or death encounter that he had no choice but to shoot ahmad arbery here is his side of the story i get to the front of the truck and by the the time I get to the front of the truck, he is at the front corner panel on the right-hand side,

and he turns and is on me. He's on me. I mean, a flash on me. Immediately on me. On you doing what? He grabs the shotgun, and I believe I was struck on that first instance that we made contact. What were you thinking at that moment? I was thinking of my son. What did you do? I shot.

Now, Travis McMichael says that he considered Ahmaud Arbery a threat, which is weird because you were chasing him. But here's what he had to say. It was obvious that he was attacking me, that if he would have got the shotgun from me, then it was a life or death situation. I shot again because I was still fighting. He was all over me.

He was still all over that shotgun, and he was not relenting. So I shot again to stop him. And this is why I let the word crack ass cracker fly out of my mouth so regularly. Now he goes on to talk about how he was trying to, quote, de-escalate the situation. I haven't pointed at you or at the subject or anybody that is causing the threat or that may be the threat at that time. And when you say draw down and point it at somebody,

does that mean that you are in fact going to pull the trigger? The possibility is there, but obviously you're trying to de-escalate the situation. In your experience, can pointing a gun at somebody de-escalate a situation? Yes. How so? If you pull a weapon on someone, from what I've learned in my training, usually that causes people to back off or to realize what's happening. Can we talk about when he said Ahmaud was attacking him?

Like, Ahmaud wasn't attacking him. What you saw in that video was the fight or flight response. He's running from you. But no, it actually was the fight or flight response, which is an automatic psychological reaction to an event that your body perceives as stressful or frightening. The perception of the threat activates you, activates your body to either fight or flight. I'm no therapist or psychiatrist, but if a couple of white Santa Claus looking dudes was chasing me with guns, I could easily see why my fight or flight response would kick in.

So yes, you would defend yourself in that situation. That's not an attack. All right. So the prosecutor's cross-examination is scheduled to continue this morning, just as an FYI, that was the defense calling their witness. So the prosecution will be cross-examining more this morning. And I know we are about to get into a replay of a recent young Dolph interview that we had. But I do, once again, want to make sure we give our condolences to his family. Absolutely.

Beautiful children, beautiful wife, everybody who has been affected by his senseless killing. And what we know so far is Young Dolph, who is only 36 years old, went into a store to buy some cookies, Makita's butter cookies. And someone drove up and shot and killed him. They do have these suspects on video, and so they have not identified them yet. But Memphis Police did release that preliminary information about the shooting. So our hearts do go out to his family and everybody who's been affected. They are imposing a curfew in the city now after this happened in Memphis. And they did close down Yo Gotti's restaurant just because of the connection and the previous issues they've had.

And then there were some rumors that Black Youngster's grandmother's house had gotten shot up. The restaurant had gotten shot up. Those are not true. But we are praying for young Dolph's family. Absolutely. Absolutely. All right. That is your front page Absolutely. All right. That is your front page news.

All right. And when we come back, Dolph has been on the show numerous times. The last time we spoke to him, it was actually on Zoom. We were all under lockdown and he was just talking

about his family and, you know, being home for the first time in a long time because usually he's on the road and, you know, what that meant to him and, you know,

helping his kids with school and his investments. So we're going to play that when we come back. his kids with school and his investments. So we're going to play that when we come back. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, we're replaying Young Dolph's interview. Of course, rest in peace to Young Dolph and condolences to his family. He's been on the show numerous times. This was the last one. We were all under the pandemic, and he actually did this from the crib.

Rest in peace, Young Dolph. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building on the line. We have Young Dolph. Yo, what's poppin'? What's up, Dolph? How's everything? Dolph sound like he just woke up and just got home.

One of the two. I just finished smoking one or the other, or all of them. It's early, man. I feel like I'm in the studio in New York. I thought we was gonna leave half more time since we was on Zoom. So you just rolling out of bed 15 minutes ago or something? Man, probably about four minutes ago.

I was in the bed. Did you brush your teeth? Really? I just, nah, I did brush my teeth. You know what I'm talking about? I brush my teeth. I go to sleep when I get up. I agree with you, Charlamagne, because sometimes when I brush his teeth in the morning, the

first thing I do when I get out of bed is brush my teeth. Sometimes we too late because I ain't on front. I got to roll out of bed, get right on the air. I'll be late. I got to brush my teeth. I sure don't brush my teeth. Dolphin forget to put on that chain though. All those diamond chains looking like a rich slave. I sleep in these. One or two chains, I sleep in at least. For real? That's too heavy to sleep in that, dog.

I just like how I feel. I remember when I used to be broke. You say that on one of the songs on the album. You still remember what it felt like to be broke, but what's the concept for rich slave, man? Man, it's just a black person living in today's society, basically.

Because even if you're still rich, you're still a n***a is what you're saying. Basically. A lot of people don't feel like they booze or like they made it or, no, I ain't no slave and all that s***. But it's just like I told my partner, I told a couple of my partners. One of them got a McLaren and one of them got a Rolls Royce. You know what I'm saying?

They were like, they're going to take hard, but I ain't. I was like, yeah. I was like, you're a rich slave too. They swear they ain't no rich slave. I was like, bro, go to South Memphis slave, too. They swear they ain't no rich slave. I'm like, bro, go to South Memphis. Go to Black Haven. Go to North Memphis. Ride around in your old neighborhood for about an hour straight and tell me you don't get stopped by the police.

I said, I'll give you a million dollars if you don't get stopped by the police. Now, I saw that a few months ago you had talked about retiring, spending more time with your son, with your family and all of that. But then later on, you said your son said you can't retire because he needs you to be a rapper. Well, the pandemic hit. He spent all the time in the world with his son the last five months. What was that conversation like for real with your son? What did he say to you? There was new music.

He just listened to my music. I'd be going to the studio. He called my work. You went to work. You're like, can I listen to it? Then one day, he was just like, are you going to put out new music for everybody to listen to? So I wish he was here.

He just went to school like an hour ago. Wow. What was that decision like for you to send your son back to school? Because I know a lot of people have been struggling with that, just with coronavirus and everything. So what was that conversation like too?

It was no conversation. He just said, man, he going to school. He was like, I want to go to school. Was it full day of school or was it half day of school? They doing like three days a week. Three days a week in school, two days at home? Four kids in the classroom.

Okay. Oh, see, I could do some shit like that. I wouldn't mind. I can send my kids back to school in a situation like that. Yeah, but, you know, I don't know. I don't know what to think no more. About what? About the whole pandemic, though? I think it's serious, but it's not serious at the same time.

Like, for people that got health issues and old people out there, I think it's more so at them, like, as far as the risk. But I feel like they blowing it up really big than what it really is. Yeah, you don't know what to believe during an election year, man. Everything seem like propaganda. Everything seem politicized. That's my whole thing, bro. How has it been for you personally during this pandemic?

Like, being at home and I know you haven't spent that much time at home like that, because you were supposed to be on tour and everything. I've been loving it. It's been great. I just don't like the part where people getting sick, people passing. You know what I'm saying? Because it's certain stuff I've been wanting to do for the last couple years, but I just haven't had time

to do. But now... Like what? Man, like, really, bro, just being around my kids every day on a day-to-day basis like i've been on the road doing shows out the show that the show that the shows and working i told myself i told my whole team when we was just on tour right before the pandemic came i told him i said when when this tour over i'm gonna stay in the house for two months like don't call me my little boy's six years old now, so he got every question in the world to ask me.

I'm here to tell him. On Intel Rock, you say you ain't if your son doesn't want to be just like his daddy. Does that mean you want your son to be a rapper or you want your son just to have your values? I definitely don't want him to be a rapper. When I say you ain't if your son don't want

to be just like him, meaning if he ain't got your characteristics if he ain't got your morals if he if you ain't if he ain't got certain stuff that taken after you that he feel like it's just in him you ain't you fail as a daddy so does that give you a greater responsibility on on how you move the things you may say the things you may do because you know he's watching you so close yeah i just think i always been that kind of person in a way. I think I'm a genius, really, on the low, Charlamagne. I think you don't get enough credibility for your rapping skills, bro. I know I don't get enough credibility, Charlamagne, but it's only because I'm 100% independent, and everybody's

scared, ready to give me that credibility. Everybody's really scared to post an album, say something about an album, do this, do that. Not just rappers and artists, but bloggers and the whole industry, just people. I see what you're saying, because I see a lot of people don't necessarily post you like a lot of artists would. But you know what, too? They don't do it. But I'm going to tell you the funny part about it. They're going to DM me, and they're going to hit me or text me or call me like,

bro, this album too hard, bro, this album this, this album that. But they're not gonna post on social media because, for the simple fact, they want to be careful about what such and such think and such and such think. The people you have problems with, they don't want to necessarily piss them off if they feel that way. No, it ain't even the people I got problems with, just period. It ain't people I got problems with because people I got problems with is shrimps. It's just point blank, period.

Like, you know, I came in the game just really popping it in, like nobody never popped it before. Everybody look at this shit like competition. Like, I feel you. It's a friendly competition, but at the same time, it's different between competition and slick hate. Well, first of all, I like shrimp, number one. I don't know why you dishing shrimp, okay?

That's number one. I eat little shrimp, number one. I don't know why you're dishing shrimp. Okay, that's number one. I love shrimp. I eat little shrimp. I eat little shrimp. Man, I eat them. And I posted your album this morning, and the reason I posted it, because I had been talking about it this weekend. People was hitting me up, like, yo, Dolph album hard.

Me and Duvall was texting. I was like, boy, that boy Young Dolph album hard. And he was like, yes, sir. I was like, well, let me post it, because I don't want to say nothing like that privately. I'd rather big it up. Like, let me tell people this shit hard. Everybody think it's hard.

But they ain't finna post it. It's weird, bro. Do you ever feel like you want to be on a major? Because I listen to that Rich Slave album. No! And I feel like a... But listen, though. I feel like a record like R&B.

I feel like R&B with Meg Thee Stallion should be all over the radio right now. It is the single. It is the single. I know, but who worked on the record? I'm playing the record. I played like four times. We're going to be top 15 on the radio next week, Charlamagne. Next week, yeah.

Top 10 in two weeks. I was in Detroit. Every time I got in the car, the song was on the radio. I understand what you're saying, Charlamagne. All right, we got more with our Young Dolph interview when we come back. Let's get into a Young Dolph mini-mix. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're getting on a Young Dolph interview. He's been on here numerous times, and this was the last interview that he did with us. He was actually at the crib. We were all under lockdown and we're going to get that back on. When it comes to features though,

right? Let's say you ask somebody to be on the album because I see, of course, Megan Stallion, G Herbo, but does anybody not want to work with you? Because obviously people like you. They think you dope. They like the album. But if you ask for a feature, would they say no?

I'm gonna keep it real. I don't know what to ask for a feature, because I be feeling like everybody gonna pull the Hollywood card or, I don't know. I just be like, Brian, don't even, bruh, just do you because I don't know. I just don't, I don't do it. But the people who are-

Because sometimes I feel like this, people be posting albums because people will hit you up and be like, yo, can you post my album? And I do feel like sometimes it happens. And maybe you don't really ask for nothing either. You might be right, because I don't do it. You know what I'm saying? Like I don't post me, period.

Like everybody out my posts, I don't wait for them to hit me or this and that. Like I generally like, hey, this hard. Even if you one of them people that call me and be like, little bro, post this for me. I feel like when my drop, I shouldn't have to call you like, man, you know what's up. But sometimes asking for a feature from somebody

that you like or that you think would be dope on a song is good for them. So it ain't necessarily you asking for a favor. It's like a mutual thing. Like this would be dope for you to get on this. Just like people ask you to get on a feature. I ain't necessarily you asking for a favor. It's like a mutual thing. Like, this would be dope for you to get on this. Just like people ask you to get on a feature. I ain't gonna lie. I was finna get ready to reach out to Tunch.

I was gonna hit Wayne and ask him to put a verse on it, to be honest. But I just didn't do it. You know closed mouth don't get fed, though. You right, but... That's like an ego thing. It ain't ego. You just don't want to ask anybody for nothing i get it i don't know it's like it's weird i can't even explain it you know what i'm saying i just be

feeling like i don't even want to go through the if i ask for something or i want to do something and it don't happen no matter what happens or it was somebody was busy or they didn't have time or they didn't this or they're like i just be feeling like bro just don't even worry about it and i end up just, man, let me put another verse on in my awesome. Ain't nobody harder than me. So what about Herbo and Manly Stallion? Yeah.

Yeah, how you got them on there? This little bro, though. You know what I mean? Like, this is different. Like, I rock with Herbo. You know what I mean? I've been rocking with him for years. You know what I'm saying?

And when we was in the studio, we was in New York, we just recorded a couple of songs. You know what I mean? With Megan. Like, we was on the phone and she was like, York, we just recorded a couple of songs. You know what I mean? With Megan, like, we was on the phone, and she was like, send me something, bro. Like, what's up? So I sent her that joint.

Hey, I love the Death Row record, too, man. How much were you inspired by movements like Death Row coming up? I think that was my first movement that I was inspired by. Because my parents, my mama loved the folks. Like, my mama, my folks. My mama, my auntie, cousins, everybody. Snoop was just the rawest. Snoop was the realest. Park was hard.

I love Park. Park, he Park. But I was always attached to Snoop. What mistakes do you think labels like Defro made that you would try to avoid for your situation? It's hard, man. Because you can't say take the streets out of it

because, man, rapping and this music, it is the streets. I don't know. It was just the timing. It was their era and it was the timing. People don't really give their road the respect, really, they should be getting. I think because the run was short

and everybody always talks about the end. It ended so tragically. People forget about the end like the end it ended so tragically people forget about how about the good times yeah i also think about though taking care of your artists because when master p was talking about how he let snoop out of his contract and didn't take nothing from him how everybody came there and they had a house a car in their own name and i do feel like one thing with labels is when you have artists underneath you, you want to make sure everybody gets rich and everybody has their own and everybody financially is taken care of. And that's one thing I would say probably didn't happen at Death Row.

Mm, that was just bad business. I don't want to speak on that. That ain't got nothing to do with me. That was bad business. As far as what they put out and what everybody was on, like the music, music, they killed it. Speaking of business, your business ain't been

up since the pandemic, Dolph, like not going on the road. How has that impacted you? Because a lot of artists can't survive. Why you laughing, Dolph? This guy's crazy, man. Cool, man. I like it, bro.

I ain't finna separate shit and code it. I ain't finna have my feelings to make everybody else feel comfortable. I like this shit. I love it. You know what I'm saying? The pandemic. This is the one. This is like the time that I prepared for from the beginning. You know what I'm saying?

Like, this is why I had to have my own record label. This is why I had to not focus on just being an artist or being in the booth. I had to focus on how I'm going to talk to these people, how I'm going to do this, how I'm going to link this, how I'm going to build a team that's going to make stuff grow. I don't know. I seen you giving away a Lamborghini, $450,000 Lambo. When are we announcing that winner?

I'm announcing the winner Thursday. I'm going to give away my Lamborghini, $450,000 Lambo. When are we announcing that winner? I'm announcing the winner Thursday. I'm going to give away my Lamborghini. It just crossed my mind. I said, man, I need to give away one of my cars. So then, like, a couple weeks before I even was, like, got my date together, I was in my garage to get on the four-wheeler. And I was getting on the four-wheeler, and I looked at my car, and I'm like, man, I'm finna get that car away.

My fans, like everybody's just gonna show me so much love, bro, from the beginning up until now to get me to the point

I'm in and now, like, I just wanted to show some love back and let them know that I got real love for y'all, like y'all got for me.

Key Glock didn't smash these windows or nothing. That's what I was gonna say, yeah. I seen your artist smashing your windows or your car. What was that about?

Y'all don't come over my house. Did you fight him after that, after he broke your windows? Was that one like, come on, bro, you owe me five minutes. We didn't fight. He got my stuff fixed. You know what I'm saying? They had to keep my car and stuff away from around Glock. Because Glock young, bro, he think it's funny.

What's funny about smashing somebody windows in? You know how much windows cost? Man, he think it's funny. He think it's funny. What's funny about smashing somebody's windows in? You know how much windows cost? Man, he think it's funny. He thought it was funny. When he did it, I was out of town. Yeah. He young, bro. Like, I don't know.

I can't say nothing. What did you do when that happened? What was your reaction? Did you see it when we all saw it? You got to think. I was 2,000 miles away on the other side of the country. So it was like when everybody else, I seen it when everybody else saw it? You gotta think, I was 2,000 miles away on the other side of the country. So it was like, when everybody else, I seen it when everybody else seen it.

And then what? Damn. And then what? that time I got back to the house, it was a couple days later. So it was like, all the mad, the emotions and all that, it was really gone. When I got there, he was asleep.

And I grabbed his ankles and like, slicked. Like, you know what I'm saying? So, asleep, and I grabbed his ankles and slicked. So, yeah, man. That's my little brother. Shout out to Glockman. I can't be mad, man. He's just having fun, bro. Have fun with your own cars, though. Not with my cars, though. Have fun with your own cars. Man, that's what I said.

But what I'm going to do? Beat him up? Shoot him? Not shoot him, dog. Not that far. You took it too far just now. Took it too far now. Jeez. If I would have did this to his car, though, it would have been a whole nother different ball, guys. Young Dolph, we appreciate you for joining us, bro.

Oh, yeah. All right. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning again. Good morning. Rest in peace to Young Dolph again.

Yeah, so sad. Definitely rest in peace to Young Dolph. 100%. And I'm going to tell you something, man. If y'all know who killed Young Dolph, y'all really need to call Crime Stoppers. Y'all really need to go to the local authorities in Memphis.

I keep telling y'all over and over, the people who do things like that, they will absolutely do that to you or somebody in your family. So you got to get that type of element off the street immediately. If you pull up to a bakery in broad daylight and let all them shots off and not care who else you hit.

Other people got hit, you know, from what I was told, from the stories I heard. So if a person does that, our people do that, you think they give a damn about you or your family? Got to get them off the street. And just heartless enough to not even think about the children that he has that are now gonna grow up without their father. Just tragic.

Alright, well we got rumors. That's never on any killer's mind. And truth be told, sometimes it might be. And they wanna cause that kind of pain to a family. And it could happen to them too. Alright, well yes, we are gonna be giving you some good news Pain to a family. And it could happen to them too. So, all right.

And it's called They Got Amnesia. The album comes out tomorrow by the way, and there was a song called Splash Brothers that was featuring Drake, but it has been dropped from streaming services

right now. Now they said according to reports Drake wanted the song to come down because he's still dealing with everything that happened at Astroworld. He didn't think it was appropriate to put out any new music right now. French had no problem with that. It is going to come out on the deluxe version of They Got Amnesia down the road. Some people were thinking it was appropriate to put out any new music right now. French had no problem with that. It is going to come out on the deluxe version of They Got Amnesia down the road.

Okay. Some people were thinking it was because, some people were like, you know, as usual, there were some theories going around, like he was dissing Kanye, and then they just had to talk, and that's why he didn't want it. But they're saying it has nothing to do,

there's nothing like that. It's just because of Astroworld. And French Montana, in the meantime, getting ready for his release of They Got Amnesia, stopped by L.A. Leakers and did a seven-minute freestyle. He was rapping over Drake's No Friends in the Industry. Orchestrate the orchestra like Quincy Jones. Big chopper spittin' like crazy bones.

Hustle on a thousand, made to pay my home. David and Galala, neck full of million stones Okay, French. I wonder the logic of Drake not putting out the music, though. Because, I mean, when do you decide to get back to business? Because, I mean, they got the concert on, what, December 9th? The Free Larry Hoover concert? So it's like, when do you decide to get back to business?

Like, what's a good time? I mean, that's an early talk to Drake, I guess. Fill it out. Yeah. But we don't even know if that's the real reason why. You know, we just, everybody's making assumptions. That's what I was wondering. I was trying to figure out the correlation.

I'm like, why, what does Astroworld have to do with putting out music? Okay. Well, I guess he's being respectful because he was there he's also involved in these lawsuits so just taking a moment to just not put out nothing in respect yeah but the lawsuit's not going away no time soon and the lives that were lost aren't coming back so that's my point like what at what point do you decide okay now it's time for me to be active like i said the concert's on the 9th they announced the concert concert this week. Bro, he was at Future's party last night and he had a party at his crib. We don't know what

the reason is he pulled that down. You know what I mean? I think people are just making assumptions. Until we hear from French or Drake himself, I just think people are just making assumptions. Okay. And Iman Shumpert has revealed the advice that he got from his wife, Tiana Taylor, for Dancing with the Stars.

You know, he's in the top six couples this season, and he got a perfect score a few weeks ago, too, by the way. He's been killing it, okay? And here's what he had to say on The Real. Dayella will give me structure tips. This is the form. This is the point system. This is how.

This is why. Tiana gives me, all right, you got your steps? Now sell it. I love it. This is why Tiana gives me art. You got your steps now. Sell it. I love it. That's great advice. And I know Tiana had to be behind this in some way. All right.

Now, an unreleased Whitney Houston demo that she recorded as a teenager is featured in a new NFT collection. One of is the name of the collection. It's backed by Quincy Jones, by the way, and they're celebrating her legacy with that collection. It's that demo, which will be auctioned off next month with details revealed December 1st during Miami art week. And the winner will also get access to the recording and their one of vault

along with the digital video that was created by 17 year old artist, Diana Sinclair, who created all the artwork for the collection. And Diana did express her desire to highlight a common theme in Whitney's catalog, which is the empowerment of Black women. She said, Whitney's talent and presence stands out a lot to me as a young Black woman in the arts. In the artworks I created, I wanted to highlight those sides of Whitney in the upper tiers and then create animation work that simply let Whitney shine while touching on the colorful, playful energy she had throughout her career.

So that's going to be really, really dope. That sounds like an amazing NFT. A limited pre-sale of 300 tokens is available now on one of his website. You can register and get and become a pre-qualified bidder today. And the bidding all starts November 30th. All right. And that is November 30th. All right. And that is your rumor reports. All right.

Thank you, Miss Yee. And listen, can I say, I want to say happy born day to man, to the very wealthy manager of the stars at Hovane. Drop one of Clues bombs for Hovane. Hovane. I love that brother. I'm glad he exists. Happy born day, Hovane.

Shout out to Hovane. Happy birthday, Hovane. Shout out to Hovane. Happy birthday, Hovane. And also fabulous. Today is Fab's birthday. F-A-B-O-L-O-H. Brooklyn, let's get it. I want to call the sponsor, Fab. All right.

Now, who are you giving your donkey to? Man, I want to give donkey of the day to the killers, the killers of young Dolph. They need to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with them. And I hate doing these because it feels like a rerun, but we must discuss. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Now, I've been saying it for weeks, Charlamagne, that you can find anything and everything on TikTok. I hear you. I saw this video with some random person who was in Central Park and overheard a group of people talking smack

about a girl named Marissa. So he posted it, and this girl Marissa actually found out and reached out to him. TikTok, you have to see it. This don't be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkey shit. It's time for donkey of the day.

So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel. Did she get donkey in the name, please, Deli? Absolutely. I have become donkey of the day. It's a breakfast club, bitches. You're a donkey. Yes, donkey of the day for Thursday, November 18th

goes to the killers of Adolph Robert Thornton Jr., a.k.a. Young Dolph. If you haven't heard, Young Dolph was shot and killed yesterday while inside Makita's Homemade Cookies, a bakery in Memphis that he frequented on the regular. I don't even know what to say, man. Condolences to Young Dolph and his family.

Definitely sending y'all healing energy. And the reason I don't know what to say, because anything I could say would sound like an absolute rerun. All right. This is the norm in so many of our communities. Notice I didn't say normal because nothing about this will ever be normal. Just because something is the norm, meaning it happens frequently or is common, doesn't mean it's normal. And the senseless murders of brothers and sisters will never be normal. OK, I read this morning that Memphis has seen 275 murders this year alone, 275 murders.

I'm sure all for various reasons, but I bet if we were to go through most of them, we would all be saying to ourselves, why? For what? Did that have to lead to that person losing their life? Huh? Did that have to lead to a child losing his father, a mother losing their son,

an uncle and aunt losing their nephew, a community losing an inspiration for no damn reason other than jealousy, envy, ego, and hate. I know we throw those words around in situations like this, but it's true. Okay. People project the pain they are going through onto others. We say hurt people, hurt people, and no truer words can be spoken. Do you know how hurt and broken you have to be to pull up to a bakery in broad daylight and kill a man simply because that's how you were feeling at the time? What is going on with you internally that gets you to that

point? What rage are you experiencing on the inside that gets you to that point? What unhealed trauma do you have in you that gets you to that point? I don't know, okay? But this is why I be stressing folks to go do the work on themselves because we walk around projecting all day long and bleeding on people who didn't even cut us. I can hear some of y'all now, Charlemagne, you don't know nothing about the streets in Memphis. You don't know about the street politics in Memphis. Guess what? You're right. Okay. Some of y'all have probably rationalized in your mind that there was a perfectly valid reason that Dolph is no longer with us. And that is where we will always disagree, because unless a person is a threat to my life or someone's life I love, I have no valid reason to take that person's life.

Simple as that for me. I told y'all earlier yesterday I was talking to the good brother, Swiss Beats. Dropping a Clues Bond for Swiss Beats. I was talking to him yesterday morning. OK. This was before the young doll situation happened and we were talking about different things and he said something that stuck with me man we were talking about how being black especially being black and of hip-hop culture in america is a group project that's what swiss said when you're black in america it's a group project. We don't get

graded as individuals. We get graded as a group. Okay, when one of us gets an opportunity and messes it up, it reflects on us as a whole. When one of us gets an opportunity and flourishes, it helps us as a whole. I've seen it happen a million times, especially in this business. Issa Rae succeeds. She opens the door

for so many other black women. Jay-Z succeeds. He opens the door for so many other black men. They gradeZ succeeds, he opens the door for so many other black men. They grade us as a group, not as individuals. Is that fair? Of course not. But it's the reality of the situation. And whether we realize it or not, yesterday, once again, we failed as a group. We failed collectively as a culture because we are going to act like we haven't made trauma culture. What you saw yesterday was a societal problem.

Okay, this is what happens when people don't have better things to do. This is what happens when, you know, proper investments haven't been made in certain communities. We can go on and on about how the root causes of crime are inequality, you know, the lack of support to families and neighborhoods, inaccessibility to services. Like, we act like violent crime is a complex issue. It's not. Lack of education, rupture of family structure, generational poverty, boom. Nine times out of ten, you're going to get someone who has zero self-worth

when they come from those conditions and zero love for themselves. And if I lack self-worth and love of myself, what the hell I care about you for? All right, you're around here shining, driving your fancy cars, jewelry on. Man, some people will kill you. Not just because they are jealous and envious, but they will kill you because of the way other people love you. They don't want to hear about

what you're doing in the community. Imagine buying your local church some robes for the choir and then one of these dudes' grandmas is bragging, you know, to the family, you know, to their grandson about how you bought robes for the choir. then one of these dudes grandma's is bragging you know to the family you know to their grandson about how you bought robes for the choir that grandson wants grandma to talk about him like that so now he's mad at you and wants to kill you simply because he craves the love and admiration that you receive simply for doing good deeds and providing for your community

hunger makes a thief or killer of any man i repeat hunger makes a thief or killer of any man. I repeat, hunger makes a thief or killer of any man. But sometimes you're not just hungry for money and resources. Sometimes these brothers are hungry for love. They are hungry for self-worth. They are hungry for healing. And they often get it way too late. They often get it after they've committed a crime like this and they're sitting in prison for 100 years. But at that point, it's pretty much too late. They often get it after they've committed a crime like this and they sitting in prison for a hundred years. But at that point, it's pretty much too late. We need you getting that healing while you outside so you can go influence others to heal. And right now it just feels like I'm repeating myself. It always feels like this when situations like this happen. The play has changed. Scenarios change, but the energy of unhealed trauma remains the same. A black

man can't go buy cookies? Cookies? I will never understand why we cut our nose off to spite our faces. A brother who does so much in the community, helps so many people, shot and killed for what? It's like we are it's like we're taking out the same people

who were sent to help us. Okay, I know I've said that a million times. All right. Dolph didn't have to be in Memphis anymore. He chose to be. Chose to frequent local businesses like Makita's. Chose to have his presence in the city because he wanted to show people another way. And once again, here we are asking the question, do we give back and don't go back?

That seems to be the safest bet because young Dolph is deceased simply because he loved his city and chose to be there. Think about that. He's dead simply for showing love. And you wonder why so many people choose to love their communities from a distance. You wonder why they choose to give back, but don't go back.

I personally will never understand it. Whoever killed young Dolph, you ruined the whole legacy. Took out a brother that was being a generational curse breaker all because your generational curses got the best of you. Please give the individual

or individuals who killed Young Dolph the biggest hee-haw. And if you know individuals who killed young Dolph the biggest he ha. Alright. And if you know who killed young Dolph, you should absolutely say something. Don't subscribe to that no snitching nonsense. That's a generational curse we need to break.

Because it's not snitching if you're a civilian who knows something. Because trust and believe. The person or persons who killed young Dolph. If you can kill somebody in broad daylight while they're buying cookies, those people or that person doesn't give a damn about you or anyone you love. If you don't get that type of element off the street, you or somebody you love could be next.

The cycle will continue if you don't break it. So call Crime Stoppers, damn it. 901-528-2274. 901-528-2274. You got to get that type of element off the street, man. And we have to. We have to. We have to.

We have to. We have to stop acting like we haven't made trauma culture. Because we absolutely positively have. We glorify all the wrong things. We celebrate all the wrong things and then wonder why things like this happen. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Up next, ask Yee.

800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, any type of advice, call Ye now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. What, what, what, what, what, what you want to know? Baby mama issues? Need some words of wisdom? Call up now for Ask Ye. 800-585-1051.

The Breakfast Club. Come on. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Ye. Eat the bread. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Ye. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Rob from Jacksonville. What's up, Rob? this is Rob from Jacksonville. What's up, Rob? I was just in Jacksonville. I don't want to congratulate you, but I'm glad you got away from it.

Oh, stop it. I enjoyed myself. It was your black expo. It was nice. Right. Absolutely. I was calling for the Ask Yee. I got a situation going on, and I just kind of need some confirmation.

It's one of the biggest choices I had to make in my life for the benefit of my kids. Okay, what's going on uh and i just kind of need some confirmation it's one of the biggest choices i had to make in my life for the benefit of my kids okay what's going on um so my baby mother's jamaican i met her way back in 2011 kind of like a high school sweetheart type we had our first daughter last year march um mom and dad don't like me i I'm Cuban and white. Okay. They're old school from Jamaica. Three days after my daughter was born, she left with mom and dad and went to a whole nother county in Florida. Um, I was in college. I'm 31 now. And I happened to meet another woman, um, proceeded to have a son, her mother and father got divorced. She started to express her love for me. She wanted to come back.

Me being in a whole blown relationship, I made a hard choice and I said, okay, I got to leave you and I got to go back to my other child's mother. We were back together for about a year. I bought her a house, brand new car, and the jealousy of me having a son with the other girl kind of just overtook our whole relationship. And recently, I gave her the house, the car, and I went and rented myself another place because I don't want my kids to grow up seeing the jealousy, the anger, and all the above. But now the other girl who I have a son with is wanting to be with me as well. And I don't want to be with either one of them. So what's the problem? The problem is this is a hard choice for me to make.

It's very easy. They're both beautiful women. And now I have to deal with just seeing my kids when I'm allowed, because now they've weaponized their children. Right. You know, if you talk to her, you't see your you know what I mean so but the here's the thing it's not a decision of whether or not you want to be with them you don't want to be with either one of them right no and you're not doing either one of them a favor if you lead them on so the real question

for you is what I mean at this point it's just i don't want to be with any woman i just this is the first time in my life where i just kind of want to stand up and just be a father yeah take so focus on myself so do that and i think what's important is for you to uh be very communicate that to both of them as best you can you guys should right so then what about the kids and i just go ahead and put myself on child support you can absolutely You guys should. Right. So then what about the kids? Should I just go ahead and put myself on child support? You can absolutely do that. And the courts will look at that more favorably. And so I would say legally. Either one of them can tell me. Yeah. Legally handle whatever it needs to handle. Make sure you get your visitation. Make sure you get to see your kids. Make sure they know how loved they are all the time, no matter what's going on.

And try to communicate with the mother so that they're aware that I want to make sure that we can successfully do this together. The kids come first no matter what. And I'm going to handle my responsibilities as a dad. Right. Thank you. All right. You're welcome.

I hope you enjoy some time to be alone. I know, you know, we go through so much in life, in and out of relationships, dealing with kids and all of that. So it is nice for you to be able to take that time and know what you want because you're not doing those women any favors either if you make them feel, if you stay with them, even though you don't want to be there. That doesn't do anybody any favors.

You said they're both beautiful women, hopefully great moms as well. So it's actually doing them a favor for them to be able to move on with their lives too. You need to tell them that. Well, you know, and it does take time, and we're sympathetic to that too, that it does take some time,

but you'll be surprised that later on in life... That's what I'm telling them, just give all this time to work and watch how everybody blossoms as a family, you know? All right, well, best of luck to all of you, but just make sure, like you said, step up to the plate, be a great dad. That's the number one priority. Hey, tell Charlamagne I love the book. Thank you, King. All right, but just make sure, like you said, step up to the plate, be a great dad. That's the number one priority.

Tell Charlamagne I love the book. Thank you, King. I'll be easy. Thank you. Alright, take care. Alright, Ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Jessica. Hey, Jessica, what's your question for you? Hey, Jessica.

Hi, good morning. Okay, me and my mom just opened a salon in Hollywood, Florida. And it's a good area. It's a good location, but we're having problems getting staff and clientele. I did every avenue that I could think of. I paid for promotions on Instagram. I paid for, I posted on Instagram. I pay for promotions on Instagram. I pay for promotions on Google ads. I've tried to go out there, but also we're have like, you know, a budget. So I can't really put too much into advertising.

We have an art walk coming up this Saturday. So I created flyers to pass those out in the neighborhood for as far as clientele goes. But staff, I'm still having trouble with. Okay, so you're having a problem with staff and also advertising? Correct. And marketing? Okay, yeah, because staffing has been a difficulty

that I've been having as well. I actually got some advice from Marcus Samuelson, who owns a lot of different restaurants. He's a chef. And he was telling me that right now, because everybody's having issues with staffing, it's always important to make sure that you have all kinds of different incentives for employees. Because it is also hard as a small business, I know you just started, to even be able to give the most competitive salary. So a lot of times there's going to be other things that you can do and other incentives that you can give people to let them know that the working

environment is going to be something that's beneficial for them. And I just want to make some suggestions and I know it's not easy to target people right now, but I'm going, I know you said you've done Google, you've done Google ads, right? And you've done Instagram ads. Have you done Facebook also? No, I have not. Because you really should research. Yeah, I thought pretty much whatever you show on Instagram would go on Facebook.

No, and it's a great way to do things too. We actually do that for my hair store. A lot of what we do is on Facebook ads because you can really target specific groups of people by their interests. And they're also their region. Do you have a website? I do have a website, but it's a Google website. What is it? It's a Google website.

Because that's also important when people are Googling things, they need your business to pop up and for it to look attractive. And also, what's your Instagram page? Because you should be advertising this right now. My Instagram page is rose room studio 21. Rose room studio 21. Do you have anybody dedicated to PR marketing or any of those things? I know you're brand new, but other than myself, no. So I would suggest and we actually have to do this for for some of my businesses, getting somebody that can actually handle social media for you.

Okay. Because that is important. When people Google things, the first thing they're going to do is go and look at your page and see the other work that you've done with people. I see that you've been doing some special events, and I think that's a good thing to do. Are there other businesses that you can partner up with to get referrals from? We just started partnering up with our neighbors in our same plaza. So I've given them flyers and we even have some of them as clientele. So that was good.

Yeah. And I just want you to be patient too, because sometimes it does take a while for your business to scale and grow. And there's nothing wrong with that process. You have a brand new business. How long has it been open? A month. Okay, it's only been a month. Girl, you have got to be patient with yourself. I know, but I... Because business will continue to grow from referrals. Mm-hmm.

Do you have a referral program? We do have a referral program and we do have a luxury condo in our area. So I've offered a discount to them as well. Okay. It feels to me like you're doing a lot of the right things right now and that you do just need to allow your business to grow and be patient but continue to be at it.

Be out and about because I find that word of mouth is also a great way. When you're going to events, you're meeting people, you're giving them something, tell them to come by. Because a lot of times we do care about the person who is behind the business right now too. So if people meet you and they're like okay she was cool everybody needs to get their hair done at some point and so I just think you have to be out and about and hit the pavement that's work too it's called networking so get out there and network and continue to do that but be patient with yourself and allow yourself time to grow

it's not a bad thing because you don't want too much that you can't handle at once anyway. So right now is a great time for you to be seeing what works, seeing what doesn't work, grow your business. But I do feel like it's great that you've done the Google ads. I would look at Facebook too. You've done Instagram, continue to do those things, continue to make sure that you doctor will come in and get their hair done. The referral program is great. But I do feel like being out there and being on the scene is one of the most important things you can do as another business.

And support other people's businesses too because they'll return the favor. Definitely. I also have an event like you saw just to help support financially the salon. And I even paid for to boost that up, I paid for advertising on that. And I even paid for, to boost that up, I paid for advertising on that.

And I got 100 views on Eventbrite, but not one ticket sale. How much is it? It's $36. It includes complimentary water, the supplies, and a snack. And it's BYOD. And, you know, just go through your network of people

and clients that you already have. And I think you have to be really personable right now as you're trying to make sure that your business is taking off. Also, you can see about grants and programs that they have with your small business services program, too. And I think that's helpful to get into that network as well. You know, you're a woman owned business. There might be an opportunity for you to get your MWBE certification and that can help you out too so that you can get all types of benefits from that okay you said MWBE yeah minority and women owned business enterprise so just look into that as well but girl it's been a month give yourself

some time and congratulations on opening your business and hopefully people will hear this and come to your page right now this was probably the best free advertising you could have done. I appreciate you guys so much. I love you guys and listen to you guys every morning. And shout out to all the entrepreneurs out there. You guys go on out and support these businesses. It's not easy. So I commend you for even being able to open up a business.

Thank you. Have a good day. You too. Bye. Alright, ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice, you can call Yee. Now we got rumors on the way. Yes, and two men convicted of the 1965 assassination

of Malcolm X are to be exonerated after more than 50 years, according to their lawyers. We'll give you that information. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Rumor report.

Rumor report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. So two men who were convicted of assassinating Malcolm X in 1965 are to be exonerated, according to their lawyers. Now, the statement said that the reinvestigation unearthed new evidence of Muhammad Aziz and the late Khalil Islam. They found that FBI documents were withheld at the trial. The men were known at the time of the killing of the civil rights activists as Norman 3X Butler and Thomas 15X

Johnson. In an interview with the New York Times, which was first reported the news, they did apologize for the failure of law enforcement and the district attorney of Manhattan, Cyrus Vance's office said this points to the truth that law enforcement over history has often failed to live up to its responsibilities. Aziz was released from prison in 1985. He's now 83 years old

and Islam was released in 1987 and died in 2009. So they are announcing a press conference that's taking place today. The Innocence Project and Lawyers for Aziz and Islam said that with the agreement of bans, they'll file a joint motion today and they'll be vacating those 1966 convictions.

Well, I hope this will help in regards, you know, to the lie that the NOI had Malcolm X killed Which I never understood Because the same corrupt system that took out MLK Fred Hampton and every other great leader In black organization back then Took out Malcolm X

Blame Jad Gahoover That's who the blame should go to Alright now for years Aziz and Islam had said that they were innocent Aziz was still trying to clear his name, according to the Innocence Project. Imagine you have this stigma that you assassinated Malcolm X for more than 50 years and you have to live with that. You know, you didn't do it. So, all right. Now, Tamar Braxton home was burglarized and a safe was stolen.

So she posted on her social media a few hours ago, this broken, bum ass man, one that I know broke into my home and stole my safe only. Not a Birkin, not a computer, not one of Logan's game systems, but he went through my drawers, broke mirrors, turned my bed upside down and took my safe. I want you to know firsthand, I'm not angry. You did not break me. You did not violate me. What you're broken, broke ass don't realize that God gave me that home and every single thing in it during a pandemic. And also during the time when I was all of those things. God personally put the pieces of my life back together. So, pumpkin, you did not steal from me those things you took.

He will give back to me a million times. Sounds like she know who did it. I'm sure Taylor got cameras all over that crib, too. She said it's somebody that she knows. Oh, yeah. Well, you got to lock him up then. You got to lock him up. All right.

Yeah, why she ain't saying their names? Tell the police. I know. Pete Davidson spent his 28th birthday with Kim Kardashian and Flava Flav. He was celebrating at Kris Jenner's home in Palm Springs. Now, details of the get-together have not been revealed, but Flava Flav did post some pictures.

He said, celebrating my adopted son Pete Davidson's birthday with the legends Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner. He said, Pete, I never took a clock off my neck to give to someone and you will be the last he said celebrating my adopted son pete davidson's birthday with the legends kim kardashian and chris jenner he said pete i never took a clock off my neck to give to someone and you will be the last person i do this for it looks real good on you happy birthday that's dope my good brother pdd living the life ain't he he's just living the life what's his relationship with flavor flav that's his i have no idea what flavor calls him his adopted son. I mean, Flavor Flav calls Pete Davidson his adopted son for whatever reason. I'm pretty sure that's the first time Pete Davidson and Flavor Flav ever met in their lives.

It's pretty damn random. If he like it, we love it. Yeah. All right. And according to Jermaine Dupri, he's saying that he is the reason that people were wearing jerseys all the time in hip-hop and it all started with crisscross. Here's what he had to say. I've been telling people this every

day. If you look at that crisscross post up there, crisscross has on jerseys. This was in 1992. Nobody in hip-hop, you can't think of nobody else in hip-hop in 92 that was wearing baseball jerseys. So that means that after that was wearing baseball jerseys so that means that after 1992 wearing baseball jerseys football jerseys basketball jerseys all of that came

from me and crisscross but the industry that we're in they don't actually frame it up like that we don't get the credit that we supposed to i don't know about that one. Nah. Nobody wore those jerseys because of crisscross. I love JD to death, but that's not true. Now, I will say I did want me a Yankees baseball jersey because of crisscross because in the video they had Yankees baseball jerseys on backwards. I don't know. I didn't get into jerseys because of crisscross. I'm not going to say he's wrong. I am.

I'm thinking about the baseball jerseys. I ain't thinking about the football or the basketball. I just remember the – I don't remember. I just remember in that crisscross video, one of those videos, they had the baseball jerseys on backwards. I wanted those after seeing a crisscross. Nah, I mean, I ain't going to lie. I definitely did.

I did wear my clothes backwards for a little bit until my parents said it was stupid. I will say that. People definitely wore their clothes backwards. That is a fact, and that was definitely because of Chris Cross. But the jerseys, I think the jerseys were more Fabulous, Wale, Hove. No, man. How are you talking about Envy? You sound silly.

Chris Cross came out way before Fabulous and freaking Wale. But you can make the jerseys popular. Who made the jerseys popular? I'm going to be honest. I think he might be right. When I saw that video, it was two jerseys in that video. It was an Oakland Athletics baseball jersey and a New York Yankees baseball jersey. And I think it was a Mets baseball jersey.

And I was like, I definitely wanted a baseball jersey because of that video. No, not me. I'm not going to lie. Popular who made the jerseys popular. And this was years after because we weren't wearing jerseys like that, was that fabulous Wale. No, that's not true. No, I was definitely wearing jerseys in middle school. What are you talking about?

Not like that. 100% was wearing jerseys in middle school and high school. Yes. Not like that. Continue this debate. I'm sure a lot of people are home screaming at the radio, but you can check that out on Complex. It's a series.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Your mornings will never be the same. I've been saying it for weeks, Charlamagne, that you can find anything and everything on TikTok. I hear you. I saw this video with some random person with a Central Park and overheard a group of people talking smack about a girl named Marissa. So he posted it, and this girl Marissa actually found out and reached out to him. TikTok, you have to see it.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. So recently we had my brother Derek Lewis, of course, from Pepsi. We have Pinky Cole and Derek Hayes on the show talking about She Got Now,

the internship program that helps HBCUs, Black Business Initiatives, and the community, and so much more. And it was a great conversation. And Charlemagne, did you see the bit we posted on TikTok? Yeah, what Pinky Cole said about success and how hard it was and how much work it took. Man, it was inspiring.

I agree. And you know, when I saw we posted that, I was curious what other kind of success videos are up on TikTok, and there's a lot, it was inspiring. I agree. And you know, when I saw we posted that, I was curious what other kind of success videos are up on TikTok. And there's a lot, but definitely not what I expected. Why? It's not motivational? Nah, I mean, some of it is. Definitely some amazing content on there.

Some from celebrities, some from regular people. I mean, straight up, some of these, with the music they choose, you know they're trying to make you cry. But people also use the word success for all kinds of things. You got people training wild animals, people pranking each other, rocket launches, people flipping houses like you do, Envy.

Oh, yeah, that's a good point. I need to get more of my real estate tips out there on TikTok. I can't believe I haven't been doing that. There it is. You were trying to get me up on TikTok. Now I'm giving you ideas. Now that's success. TikTok, you have to see it.

We played his interview earlier today. He's been on the show several times, but the last one, we were all locked down for the pandemic,

and he was talking about his kids and raising his family and some of his investments and how it was being home because he's never home because he's usually on the road. So definitely rest in peace and condolences to his family and friends. Yeah, they said he had a whole lot of property in Memphis and he didn't talk about that a whole lot. But he would buy his kids properties, I think, every year. They said rest in peace again. And when we come back, we've got the positive note. Morning, everybody is DJ Envy Angelique. Charlamagne Tha God. We are the breakfast club.
