Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.

Impacting the culture.
They wake up in the morning and they want to hear that Breakfast Club.
The world's most dangerous morning show.
We in the mother...
We in the house.
Good morning, USA.

Oh, no, it's Friday.
It's Friday!
Yeah, why'd you just do the hump day?
Because I don't do that part of the show.
That's Charlamagne.
He's running a little late.
Traffic was a little crazy this morning out here.
Why?
What's going on?
I don't know.
I don't know if it was accidents.
I don't know if people are getting out of town because, of course, this is a three-day weekend.
But traffic was a little crazy this morning.
It's not a three-day weekend for us.
Not for us, but for, I believe, federal workers, banks, things like that they have off.
So not for us, though.
Well, I'm in the A. I'm in Atlanta.
We didn't have any traffic problems out here this morning.
No?
You went last night.
You went to TI's listening session.
You also went to the Trap Museum.
How was all that?
Yes, I went to the Trap Music Museum.
As soon as I got off the plane, I was like, let me go here now.
Shout out to Tracy from Epic who set everything up.
And it's a good thing I went when I did.
First of all, the Trap Museum is a dope idea.
Like, I had no idea what to really expect when I got there.
Right.
But first when you walk in, there's like a whole timeline of trap music
and how it first started, when the phrase first came about.
There's all kinds of information on the wall.
And then as you go through, each artist that he highlights has their own exhibit.
Right.
And there's different rooms, like a kitchen, where you might start up, where every trap artist would have started off in the kitchen, cooking things up.
Gotcha.
There's bricks and everything in there, a stove, a scale, all of that stuff.
There's even a prison cell that they have as part of the exhibit
and different profiles of artists who have been incarcerated and things like that.
It's like a lot of different things, all kinds of information about Atlanta
and how many people have been in jail and all of the statistics and everything.
It was very educational, but then there's some great artwork on top of all of that.
That's dope.
Now, you know, I actually was supposed to get 2 Chainz.
You know, 2 Chainz has a pink car.
Charlamagne just walked in.
2 Chainz has a pink car.
That car's part of the exhibit.
Yeah, I was going to use it for my car show,
but T.I. took the car before I grabbed it,
so I was trying to get it for the car show.
But I heard it's a dope exhibit.
Next time I go to Atlanta, I'm definitely going to check it out.
What up, Charlamagne?
What's happening?
You know, my sleep schedule is off because, you know, I got a newborn baby in the house.
I lied for you already.
I said there was traffic.
No, there was no traffic.
I overslept.
I didn't realize you'd just been lying.
I just lied, tried to lie for a while.
I was like, it was mad traffic this morning.
Why would you lie like that?
I was trying to help you out, bro.
But that's what people do when you try to help out.
You know what it is?
You know how football is a game of inches?
Morning radio is a game of minutes.
So if your alarm clock goes off at 4.20, you've got to get up at 4.20,
and that gives you enough time to take a shower, brush your teeth, meditate,
read your daily affirmations, and get to work before 6 a.m.
You wake up just a little bit after that.
That's true.
4.25, 4 430, put that on
the schedule and that's what time you're going to get to work.
If you get to work usually 5.50 and you're like
10 minutes behind, you're going to get to work 6.03.
Oh, well, I ain't lying for you
no more. I ain't don't need to lie.
I was like, yo, it's mad traffic. I said, he's probably just running.
I mean, you can't just lie for people and y'all
don't corroborate the lie together.
You know, as a man, you feel bad, right?
Like when your wife is like having to be up with the baby
and getting up and breastfeeding,
like you feel bad just laying there asleep.
Sometimes you just sit up for no reason.
I ain't helping y'all.
Offer to hold the baby for no reason.
Then you feel bad because the baby trying to go for your nipples
and you're like, nah, boo, I ain't got that.
You know, back to your mama.
All right, well, let's get the show cracking, Loose Booty.
Oh, you got your next up?
Loose Booty got the do-it-anything.
Oh, really?
Because you got your next colonic today.
That's a terrible segue.
Yes, I do have my third colonic today.
I just thought about it.
I just thought about Loose Booty.
Don't do that.
Don't do what?
Don't think about my booty opening this time of morning.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I haven't even had my green tea yet.
Come on.
What's wrong with you?
All right, well, let's get the show cracking.
Comedian Rob Stapleton will be joining us this morning.
We'll kick it with him.
Yes, Rob will be here.
One of the New York Kings of comedy.
And also from Love & Hip Hop Miami and the group Pretty Ricky, Pleasure P will be joining us.
Yes.
So we'll talk to all of them.
And we got front page news here.
Very black show this morning.
We're off.
Very black.
Yes, we are going to talk about Kavanaugh, his final arguments, because today is the day they are voting whether or not he will make it to be Supreme Court justice.
All right.
We'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Waiting for you.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy Angelou.
Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
What's happening?
Good morning.
Happy Friday, goddammit.
Devil, dammit.
Whatever.
Don't forget, get it off your chest after this.
If you're pissed off, you need to vent a little bit or you want to spread some positivity,
800-585-1051. Get on the lines right now. Let's get into some front page news. Let me talk, Mayee. to get pissed off, you need to vent a little bit or you want to spread some positivity. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.
Get on the lines right now.
But let's get into some front page news.
Let me talk about you.
We're talking about Kavanaugh because today is the day they are voting whether or not
he will make it to be a Supreme Court justice.
Now, if you guys remember, some of the things that are coming into question for people because
this wasn't part of the FBI investigation was whether or not Brett Kavanaugh lied under
oath about drinking.
Now, here's what he said originally.
I drank beer with my friends.
Almost everyone did.
Sometimes I had too many beers.
Sometimes others did.
I liked beer.
I still like beer.
But I did not drink beer to the point of blacking out,
and I never sexually assaulted anyone.
Now, originally, this all started with
the accusation of sexual assault from Christine Blasey Ford. She says that he assaulted her at
a high school party back in the 80s. He's denied those misconduct allegations but he's also said
certain things about himself and what he was like growing up and being a college student and even a
high school student. Well one of his roommates from college, Jamie Roach,
actually testified and here's what he had to say about Kavanaugh's drinking.
Not only did I know that he wasn't telling the truth, I knew that he knew that he wasn't telling the truth.
My recollection of my experience with him was that he was drunk frequently,
that it wasn't drunk to the point of having trouble getting up every month or two.
It was frequently.
I would say with some confidence it was at least once, maybe twice on the weekends.
It may have even been during the week.
Well, if he was drinking that much in black and white, he probably really don't remember.
Right. And by the way, this is CNN, not under oath.
He wasn't testifying.
But yes, that was him, his old roommate on CNN, saying what he recalled
and him stumbling into the room all hours of the night.
So people
are basically saying that you're supposed to be a
Supreme Court justice, but you're supposed to hold you to this high
standard of having people's lives in
their hands and honesty and truth.
And if you're lying about yourself, well,
he himself, Brett Kavanaugh, has said that he was
very emotional last Thursday. He said, more
so than I have ever been. I might have been
too emotional at times. I know that my tone was
sharp and I said a few things I should not have said.
I hope everyone can understand that I was there as a son, husband and dad.
Yeah, I don't know who's telling the truth and who's not telling the truth.
But I do know that there's no need to lie on the oath about, you know, heavy drinking in college.
Like who can't at all?
I didn't go to college, but I'm pretty sure a lot of y'all that did go to college can relate to heavy drinking.
A lot of people did. A lot of people. Heavy drinking.
Even when I DJ colleges, it's always heavy beer, heavy drinking.
And you drink things like grain alcohol
that are definitely way too strong,
way stronger than you anticipated. Now,
retired Supreme Court Justice
John Paul Stevens said yesterday
that Brett Kavanaugh, who he once
had said was appraised and
everything, and, you know, he talked
about him in one of his books.
He said that he does not belong on the Supreme Court now.
So he has had a change of heart, it seems like.
He said, at that time, I thought Kavanaugh had the qualifications
for the Supreme Court should he be selected.
I've changed my views for reasons that have no relationship
to his intellectual ability.
I feel his performance in the hearings ultimately changed my mind.
Yeah, I mean, if he's lying under oath now, then that's a character flaw that he's dealing with in his 50s.
So if you are lying under oath in your 50s, then yes, you do not deserve to serve on the Supreme Court.
But I just have a fundamental problem with us, you know, holding people accountable for actions they may have done when they were in college, especially something like drinking.
Like what what what person did not drink heavily
in college? Well, he's not admitting it.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's what I just said.
If he's lying under oath about something like that
in his 50s, he's not fit to serve
on the Supreme Court. If he got on that stand, he was
like, yes, I did drink heavily when I was in college.
It was college. I was a kid. That's what I did.
I've grown. I'm evolved. I don't do that
anymore. Well, we'll see what happens today
when it's time to vote. It's a lot of pressure for people because imagine being a Republican and having to vote on this
and being somebody that votes against Kavanaugh.
They said for that, your career could be over.
Kavanaugh's getting in.
Who want to bet?
Let's bet a protein shake.
He's definitely getting in.
It's going to be too hard to vote against him.
So we'll see if anybody decides to take a stand.
Nobody's taking a stand.
Kavanaugh's getting in.
I'll bet a protein shake on it.
All right.
Okay, with almond milk and banana and peanut butter and honey. protein shake on it. All right. Okay, with almond milk.
With banana and peanut butter and honey.
I'm with you.
All right.
Well, that's front page news. Matter of fact, Kalanick on me for anybody who, I even perform it myself.
What?
Who wants to gamble?
I'm good.
Anybody want to gamble?
Nah, I'll pass.
Anybody want to take this bet?
I'll pass.
Kavanaugh's getting in.
All right.
What?
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now.
Maybe you pissed off.
Maybe you had a bad night, bad morning.
Maybe you were driving and somebody ran into the back of your car and you pissed off and
just messed your car up.
You hopped out the car because you pissed off and then it was an old lady and you felt
bad.
So you didn't take her insurance and you just said, I'll fix it myself.
So that happened to you?
I'll explain when we come back.
Get it off your chest.
It's the Breakfast Club.
I can one up on you on this this week. What? Go ahead. You tell your story and I'll tell mine. I got a better one. And then I'll explain when we come back. Get it off your chest. It's the Breakfast Club. I can one-up on you on this this week.
What?
Go ahead.
You tell your story and I'll tell mine.
I got a better one.
And then I'll tell mine.
All right.
We'll do it when we come back.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
It's 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.
All right.
Well, let me tell you what happened to me.
Yesterday I was driving.
I was driving a nice vehicle, one of my nicer vehicles,
and somebody crashed into the back of me.
And I was pissed off.
I hopped out the car.
You know how I love my vehicles, keep them clean.
And with those type of cars, if you get into an accident, it's always bad.
It lowers the value.
So I hopped out.
I'm pissed off.
And the lady looked like she was about 70 years old. Black woman.
Just got off of work.
She looked like she was tired. She might have just nodded
off a little. And I was like,
she was damn near crying. And I was like,
ma'am, have a great day.
She was like, you sure? You don't want to? I was like, nah.
So you didn't get her insurance? I didn't get insurance.
I'm going to eat that.
Because she looked so upset and so
distraught. Her car was kind of beat up.
And I was like, you know what?
She looked like she's having a bad day.
I was like, ma'am, you have a great day.
She was like, really?
She was like, God bless you.
But it turned it around.
I got to pay for that damn car.
But I was pissed the F off, man.
Light work.
Light work.
That's about a $4,000 damage.
The other night after my Venom movie screening, I went to GNC.
And the reason I went to GNC is because, you know, when you get colonics,
they take out all the bad bacteria and good bacteria.
So I had to go get some 25 to 50 billion probiotic, you know, to put the good bacteria back in me.
So, you know, I'm with my driver, saluting my man Ali.
And Ali pulls up to the GNC.
And I'm sitting there for a second.
And as I go to open the door door a biker is riding by me.
Oh my goodness. Right? So I don't know
if the biker swerved
the move out of the way of the door
or he was swerving to move out of the way of the
car that actually hit him.
But he hit my door
a little bit and then all I see is the
bike spin around, him go flying in the
air and him just tumble and he's just laying
there because I think his arm was broke.
So I'm just sitting there staring at him, and I'm like, yo, you good?
And the car just kept going.
Right.
So then all the police come, and the fire trucks come,
and they're asking us questions, and they're asking me, did I see the car?
I'm like, no, I didn't see the car because I got out the car.
So they're asking the guy what happened, and he can't really speak English,
so he's like, door open, car hit me.
Car hit me, door open.
I'm like, look, I just need something, you know, to fill my empty butt.
I'm just trying to go into GNC.
If I can help this young man, I will.
And I'm like, look, is he okay?
They're like, yes.
I'm like, do y'all need me?
They're like, no.
Bye.
Nothing I can do.
What can I do for the man in that situation?
So you almost killed the biker?
No, the biker almost killed himself.
The moral of the story.
Yes.
But did you get the stuff
for your butt?
Definitely got the stuff
for my butt.
Nah.
25 to 50 billion probiotic
that puts the good bacteria
back in your gut.
Yee, can you beat this story?
Well, it's not something
that happened to me personally,
but somebody very close to me
got in a car accident.
The car behind him
hit him so hard
that he hit the car
in front of that car
that that car hit the car
in front of that car.
Then he got out
and he started feeling
like he was going to throw up.
And they did a police report and everything.
He ends up going to the hospital, and he has a concussion.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Goodness gracious.
My story wins.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
I had a broken arm.
Okay.
You didn't have a broken arm in your story.
Yeah, I didn't have a broken arm in my story.
I got a broken bumper.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, my name is Naya.
Hey, Naya, get it off your chest.
So, I have a problem with Westville City Schools.
Last week, my child is seven years old, and he got kicked off the school bus and left by himself, alone, unattended, not to an adult.
And my child got brought home by a stranger, y'all.
And I'm so mad.
I'm so frustrated because the bus driver still works for West Virginia Schools.
You know, I had a situation like that at one time.
But, I mean, he didn't leave my son.
Well, first of all, this is going to sound a little crazy, but is the boy's dad in his life?
We're separated and he lives in a different city.
So when I told his dad he was infuriated and, like, almost infuriated with me, I'm like, I didn't do anything.
I was at work.
Yeah, the reason I say that, you need to go have a conversation with that bus driver.
You need to have an aggressive conversation with him.
There's no way you're going to leave my seven-year-old son
on the side of the street.
Matter of fact, I might need five minutes,
and I know you shouldn't say that,
but you're going to leave a grown-ass man,
a grown-ass bus driver,
is going to leave my seven-year-old child
on the side of the road by himself?
Now, what was the reason?
Did he give a valid reason?
The reasoning they, my child,
was you're supposed to be on this other bus,
and you can't be on this bus.
And I'm like, that doesn't make any sense.
I've worked for the school board, and you don't do that.
Now, hell no.
Even if it's the rural school, you still take,
once that child is in your care, they're in your care.
You're not allowed to be in the bus.
Absolutely.
So I think you should go over to bus driver's head
and go talk to the principal. You should go talk to the principal. You should go over to the bus driver's head and go talk to the principal.
You should go talk to the principal.
You should go talk to both of them.
You should go talk to the principal,
which I'm sure you did already,
and make sure you go have a conversation with them.
Yeah, I talked to the principal.
I talked to the superintendent.
And it's just, oh, well, we're going to give them correctives,
but they still got their job.
What if there's somebody else's child out there?
Like, that's not okay.
Now, and you might need to go get a lawyer.
You might need to say your son is having anxiety now because
of this. You might need to go see a lawyer and
have some legal action. Absolutely.
Like, he's lucky he's traumatized because
a stranger walked
him home. Oh, my goodness.
Your son could have been kidnapped.
Oh, my God. Hell, yeah, especially in this era of human
trafficking where people are trying to buy kids from
Walmart for $200,000.
Well, he needs to lose his job over that.
Absolutely.
Thank you, Mom.
I'm sorry.
Thank you, y'all.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.

And I don't even eat that.

I love it.
You sound like you in a good mood this morning.
I am, you know, I'm getting over pneumonia, but I mean, I'm still just like really blessed
because, you know, I didn't have to wake up this morning.
So I'm just trying to go forward every day a little more positive than the last minute.
Word is born.
How you got pneumonia, boo?
I have no clue how I got it, and I had it for about a week before I even figured it out.
It's standing online at the club with a little short skirt on and no panties.

way all the time. That's why I keep it positive.
That's all you can do.
You know what I'm saying?
Even with nobody else keeps it positive,
you have to keep it positive for yourself.
That's what I say.
I don't let anybody else dictate what my mood is going to be.
There you go, Mama.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
You can do it at any time.
Now, we got rumors on the way, so don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV,
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club. Now, let's get to these rumors.
Let's talk Chance the Rapper.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor Report. Rumor Report.
This is The Rumor Report. Talk to Report. This is the Rumor Report.
Talk to them.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Yes, Chance the Rapper has announced that he is going to put his money where his mouth is,
which is, he's very popular for that because a lot of things that he wants to initiate, he does.
He doesn't just talk about it.
He is about it, and he is donating $1 million to Chicago Mental Health Services.
Wow.
He just announced he's giving that money, My State of Mind,
changing the way mental health services are accessed.
So that's really dope that he's doing that.
Dropping the cruise bombs for my man Chance the Rapper.
Mental health is definitely wealth.
And I love the fact that the universe is conspiring for all of us
to have these conversations about mental health.
I'm glad that, you know, people are trying to eradicate the stigma of mental health,
especially in the black community,
because there's nothing wrong with getting as mentally healthy as possible, David.
Now, you also announced the new Chance Arts and Literature Fund,
and they'll be contributing $100,000 to 20 more schools in Chicago.
So that's dope as well.
So shout out to Chance the Rapper.
Always out here doing the work.
And what the hell was Chance the Rapper doing with Joe Budden yesterday?
Joe Budden, listen, Joe Budden is the king of not keeping the same energy, by the way.
And I told Joe this when he was here last time.
Joe will talk about people and say things about people in a not so flattering way.
And then when he sees them, he does not keep the same energy.
And nowadays, he's even taking flicks with them.
Why was him and Chance the Rapper in a picture yesterday?
What do you say about Chance?
He always says that Chance is always so fake happy he doesn't feel like a lot of the things chance does is genuine yeah well when you're spending money like that and raising money for
great purposes i don't see how it can't be genuine can y'all please tweet joe bud and ask him why he
never keeps the same energy with these people that he talks about please but maybe he changed his
mind we always talk about growth, right? That is true.
But you gotta at least say to that person
what you've been saying to them in their face first
and then y'all can move on. Because I don't know what conversation
they had. No, but you gotta
say it publicly. You gotta say it publicly.
If you talk about somebody publicly,
when you see them face to face, you gotta have a public conversation
with them and say it to their face publicly. And then y'all can be
cool afterwards. Alright.
Well, the game. He is facing an arrest warrant because he did not show up to court.
So he did not go to court for a hearing in his sexual assault case.
They said he tried to claim that he was too busy.
He filed some court documents saying he had contractual obligations,
which also included Nick Cannon presents Wildin' Out Live.
So now there is an arrest warrant for him.
The judge did not agree with that and said that he was in contempt
and issued a bench warrant for his arrest.
Man, they treating the game like the IRS.
Like, you going to pay?
Are you going to lock you up?
Absolutely.
All right, and Toni Braxton,
I know you guys haven't been watching
Braxton Family Values, have you?
I've seen this clip, though.
I know what you're about to talk about.
Yes, and I think this is true for a lot of people,
that she loves her family, Toni Braxton, but here's the thing.
I am confessing
that
although I love my family,
most of the time, I don't like my
family.
Everyone in my family.
Take a breath. Everybody.
I feel like I'm angry at
everybody in my family. I don't like my family.
If they weren't my family, they wouldn't be my friends.
I don't know if I can say that about my family.
I love my family, but I don't like you.
What's wrong with that?
That's the truth.
I ain't got no family members like that.
Who doesn't feel that way?
I guess I got a couple family members I don't like.
Because you can't pick your family.
You know what I'm saying?
So technically you love them by blood, but you may not like them for any other reason.
You may not like their ways.
You may not like their attitude.
You may not like the way they talk to people.
I got plenty of family members that I love
but don't like.
Alright, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your
rumor report. Alright, thank you, Miss
Yee. Now, when we come back,
a New York king of comedy,

And that's what I'm doing.
This is going to be crazy.
Caroline's, you know, always being home game is always good.
Always being home.
But I got everybody coming out.
You know, Tony Rock and everybody else coming through.
What about your crew?
Your crew ain't coming? Yeah. You know that. You know that. You know the gangsta going to be there. You know, Tony Rock and everybody else coming through. What about your crew? Your crew ain't coming?
You know that. You know the
gangsta gonna be there. You know Mark Vieira.
I got a couple other people I can't say
that are coming through. Rudy Rush.
Big shout out. He's on a morning show
out there in Dallas doing his thing.
With Claudia.
I also want to give a big shout out to my girl, Melissa
Ford, man. Salute to Melly Mel.
Melissa Ford.
I'm at this time, Charlamagne, where I'm tired of Hollywood, waiting for Hollywood.
So I took the initiative and shot my own movie.
And I did an independent joint, which is off the chain, called The Stuff.
So I used all my favorites.
I got Michael Blackston in it.
I got Reed Sturgis.
Danny Garcia, the boxer.
I got Melissa Ford.
You know, everybody knows her as being a video vixen.
But she brought the heat. Like on that acting, on the acting shit.
And then right after we finished filming, like, you know, later on, she got in that big car accident.
She was driving her Jeep on her way to Tank's baby shower and got hit by an 18 wheel.
And the car flipped over five times, cracked her skull, brain swelling and all of that, man.
She looked to be alive.
Right. So while we're in the festivals doing the movies now,
we've been dedicating the whole thing to her, man,
and her whole getting well.
What is this stuff about?
This stuff is a, it's training day meets Friday.
All right?
It's about two guys going around doing illegal cable,
and they cross paths with these corrupt cops.
And one of the cops has a gambling debt with the Irish mob.
So he goes to these Dominican dudes to go get the money.
And he grabbed his bag.
The bag comes out the window.
The cable guys get it.
All type of shit.
I can tell you're an old school head.
Now I'm remembering
the legal cable.
You remember the legal cable?
Yeah.
But that's the crazy part about it
because these dudes
supposed to sell fire sticks,
but they don't believe in that.
These dudes still want the boxes
with the remotes.
You know what I mean? You know who used to do my cable? Clue. Clue? that. These dudes still want the boxes with the remotes. You know what I mean?
You know who used to do my cable? Clue.
Clue used to be the hooker for the cable guy.
Everybody had one dude.
Absolutely. But you had that hookup where the cable would cut off like at 1145.
That illegal cable guy was so valuable
to everyone. Absolutely.
And they used to be like, you can't turn the box off.
You can't turn the box off. Yeah, you can't cut it off.
Don't cut it off. Don't cut it off. Don't cut it off, yeah.
That's like people who had roaches.
You can't cut your kitchen light off.
Keep the light on.
They used to send the bullets right before the fight to try to cut the fight off.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So you have to call them to get another box.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, that was a whole situation.
So who is the New York Kings of comedy?
The New York Kings is myself, Rob Stapleton.
Correct.
Talent is just comedy talent. Everybody know talent.
What up, talent? The gangster comedy Capone.
And then we got the Latin sensation, Mr.
Mark Vieira. You know, this is the dude
that brings that heat, man. This dude, and I
gotta follow that. You know what I'm saying? Somebody's
missing. Yeah, yeah.
We had to make some moves.
You know what I mean? Who's missing now? Drew Frazier.
Drew Frazier was part of it.
Drew gone now? Yeah, I'm going to keep it real.
What's going on?
I heard there was a fight.
I'm going to keep it real.
Because if you're on The Breakfast Club, that's one of the things.
If you ain't going to bring it 120, you might as well not come up here.
There's a situation that happened between Drew Frazier and Mark Vieira that crossed the line.
Tried to stab him.
Yeah.
Yeah, he tried to cross.
I mean, we can take a regular argument, like a regular fight.
I'm coming. You guys are brothers. I know when y'all having
some pre-production, y'all getting into arguments
and all of that stuff. That's what happens with artists.
But when you pull a knife on somebody
and that person's wife is there,
as a man, I can't
ask you to come back to the table and work
with that dude again and be in a safe
environment. What he said, what got him there? You know what happened?
This is what happened.
We were in a show
somewhere upstate in Albany.
Killed the show.
It is funny,
I was talking to the promoter
and she was talking about
how she wanted to do
a 20 city tour with us
because she's tired
of working with the rappers
because there's always
something that happens
during the show
or afterwards.
And we're talking about
doing New York Kings
with BBD
and coming together
and doing all of this stuff.
And then Drew kept saying, it's funny because Mark brought his wife and I brought my wife.
So after the show, we want to get out of this.
We don't want to talk about that.
We don't want to do no after.
We want to get our check, get up out of there.
Drew's like, yo, we need to talk.
We need to talk.
So we sat in a room and we talked and it turned into an argument.
But it was funny because Mark was so dope with it because Mark, as it escalated,
because you can't start an argument here because the only way it could go was physical at a certain point.
You got to like talk and then, you know, listen to each other.
When Mark started unbuttoning his shirt and hung it up on the hanger,
I was like, oh, this is about to get real.
So they grabbed each other. I grabbed Mark, threw Mark in the hanger. I was like, oh, this shit about to get real. So they grabbed each other.
I grabbed Mark, threw Mark in the bathroom,
came back out, and then Drew was standing
with his hands behind his back.
And I was like, something, something,
I know, what is he, is he bluffing?
And then when I looked and saw the knife back there,
I lost it.
You know, the state troopers came in
because we was at a state facility.
They wanted to arrest, you know,
Mark didn't want to press charges, you know,
and wanted to let that situation go. But his wife to arrest, you know, mark them on the press charges, you know, and wanted to let
that situation go. But his wife
was crying, you know what I mean? She didn't
know what was going on because the doors are
closed. You could hear all of the tables
and chairs going and all that situation.
But the crazy part about it is the
next day, Drew acted like nothing happened.
You know what I'm saying?
He came to the show like,
you know, what, you know, fellas, I think it was, you know, blah, blah, blah.
It was like, oh, you crossed that line.
I mean, Mark's banished, so he can understand pulling out a knife in a fight.
I mean, come on.
I'm surprised it wasn't him that pulled it out.
I ain't going there, man.
I ain't going there.
You a**hole.
I'm just saying.
So they squashed it out.
I don't think they really talked since.
You know, I'm going public with this, like, it out. I don't think they really talked since. You know, this is,
I'm going public with this
like for the first time
in front of a few million people,
but the truth is the truth.
And I don't care
if you throw the truth up
when it lines up,
it's the truth.
You know what I'm saying?
So we try not to throw Drew
under the bus or whatever.
We just kept moving.
We're being honored
November 1st
by the Laugh Out Loud
Comedy Honors,
Tracy Morgan,
us,
Chappelle
Nick Cannon
And just from what
We've been doing
They looked at the energy
We've been doing
With this tour
All around the country
And they looked to
Give us an honor
But it's gonna be interesting
Because now
You know
That whole dynamic
With Drew
And it started with Gerald
Gerald Kelly was a part before
And I love Gerald
Man I ain't got nothing
Bad to say about him
But it's just business
It's just
You know what I mean It's just how We It's just, you know what I mean? It's just how
we just take care of business.
What was the name? Talent.
So Drew doesn't come get that award, too, or
Gerald? I mean, that's the situation
that, you know, I got respect for
the dudes, but yo, I'm in this business
now. I move on now, and I can't
take no steps back. I'm not waiting
on nobody to do nothing no more, you know what I mean?
That's why I get mad at this Cat Williams
and this Kevin Hart
beef. I want to see us win.
We have more with comedian Rob
Stapleton when we come back. He's one of
the New York Kings of Comedy, so don't move. It's The Breakfast
Club. Good morning. The Breakfast
Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela
Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have one of the New York kings of comedy in the building, Rob Stapleton.
Charlamagne?
Why do you think it is so much beef around comedians?
Because I always feel like, you know, people know how hard it is to get to that level.
You should salute that.
And it's also so competitive, though.
You know why it is?
Because there's no license for this f***ing game.
You could jump into this s*** at any f***ing time.
Envy's a DJ. Anybody
could say they're a DJ and say, yo Envy,
I'm going to get that money. I've been DJing. I remember
when Envy blah blah blah. It's the same thing
with comedy game, man. Anybody
could just start doing
an open mic and then say I'm a comedian.
People just can't come up here on the breakfast
club because they're your neighbor.
You have to be somewhere in the industry
in what you do. We've interviewed some bums.
We've interviewed some neighbors.
Yeah, we've gotten some neighbors.
I get what you're saying, though.
But have you ever seen somebody that hasn't had to put in that much time
and be really funny and talented early on?
Yeah, that goes with this
internet sensation, right?
The internet dudes. I remember when I was first
doing shows with these dudes, I used to hate on them
motherfuckers.
You know, Vine f***ed it up.
When Vine came up, you had five to seven seconds to be funny.
I come from doing 45 minutes as a headliner,
so trying to do it in seven seconds was f***ing unheard of.
See, the thing is, real comedy comes from some pain in your life, right?
Like, when I started doing stand-up, I wasn't never this clown dude.
People said, well, me, were you the funny dude at school?
I wasn't.
When I went to high school,
I went to Catholic school.
My father got arrested
and lived with my uncle.
My father came back home.
We got a place.
I got kicked out of school
and I went to high school
with Fat Joe
and then I got evicted
out of my apartment.
And all comedy
comes from pain, right?
So I got evicted.
I saw my father
going through some shit
where he just really
wasn't balanced
and ain't nothing like when you seen your furniture from your crib coming out of your house
and people on your block are out there and you act like you're moving but you didn't tell people that
but it says marshals and sheriff on the car you know what i'm saying that was something that i
was like oh so i i moved up to co-op city and and uh been on my own since i was like, oh, so I moved out to Co-op City and, and, uh, been on my own since
I was like 16, 17. And then a few months after that, my father died. My father committed suicide
and I was put in this place where I was like, what was I going to do? I wasn't really raised
with my moms. I was raised with my pops and I didn't know what I was going to do. So I jumped
into this comedy thing and I got a job at the phone company. Then I got into the comedy
world and that's where I came from.
And that's where I developed that. And that's where
I became what I... I could have gotten to the
drug game. I could have started doing this and that.
It was something about that depression
to seeing my father in that coffin
that made me want to avoid that
and keep it funny. And it goes...
I had a story with Tiffany. When I first met
Tiffany Haddish.
We was in LA and I was going through my divorce
and I had an NBC deal
that was just finishing.
And in LA,
if you're not on a deal,
you better be working on your next one
if you want to eat.
So me and her were doing a show at a casino
and I had just knew Tiffany from Def Jam.
I didn't go way back with her,
but this was years ago. And I was talking about my divorce and I had just new Tiffany from Def Jam. I didn't go way back with her, but this was years ago.
And I was talking about my divorce, and I'm like,
Tiff, I think I'm going to have to move back to New York.
Now, you had a casino.
These motherfuckers just lost money.
They don't give a fuck.
They just want you to be funny.
Tiffany is looking in the mirror.
Now, this ain't the Tiffany Haddish we know now.
This is Tiffany.
Tiffany is looking in the mirror.
I'm telling her, yo, I don't even want to go home after the show, Tiff.
The situation at home with my wife is just, I'm happy to be here.
And she was like, yeah, Rob, I feel the same way.
She said, my husband, she's looking in the mirror, putting on this makeup.
She said, yeah, my husband, he's all jealous.
He's just putting his hands on me.
She's covering like a black eye while she's putting the makeup on.
And she says to me what she's just going through in her life.
And I'm like, yo, in five minutes, we got to let all of this go, go out there and be funny.
So I came up with an idea for a TV show.
I was like, yo, this need to be on TV.
Like some clown where people think we clowns because we're funny, but we get ready to walk right back home into a situation that we don't really want to be in.
They say tears of a clown.
Tears of a clown. You know what I mean?
So I got Charlie Murphy involved and we
were pitching this whole reality
show with Tiffany. And Tiffany was
good as s***. We would sit at BET.
This is what I tell you, motherf***ers don't know what to do with comics
sometimes, except for sitcom.
They just don't know about this s***.
And we were sitting there and Tiffany was
telling me how she was homeless and living in her car
and she was crying at the thing.
I'm like, oh, they're going to sign us to two, three years.
Like, this is crazy.
And they just, they didn't get it.
They didn't get it.
Like, how do you not get it?
Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly.
You know what I mean?
But, you know, it's crazy when you see that type of situation.
Tiffany was Tiffany then.
And I say we had the right people
but the wrong vehicle.
So I'm at this part right now
where I'm like,
yo, f***,
waiting on Hollywood now.
Do your own thing.
Do my own thing.
And you have a GoFundMe too,
right?
Nah, nah.
That was,
I got the funds.
You got everything.
Let me tell this,
let me say this.
They're going to call you
to testify too in court
since you saw Tiffany
with black eyes
since her ex claims
he never abused her.
Can we edit that part out?
No, we don't keep that in.
They got me in the lawsuit. It was some real
shit. She was telling me how she used to sleep in the car
in front of Stan Latham's house. She didn't
know it was Stan Latham's house, but she had to pick
the right street to sleep in front of because
she's a female in a car, so she couldn't
just be in the hood. Cops used to make her move.
But anyway, in this industry,
man, when I decided,
because I had a lot of opportunity where I should have blown
and I should have had some other shit, but there ain't no excuse.
You got to do what you got to do.
Somebody throws the alley, you got to play ball, do it, and run with it.
So I decided to do my own thing and do the movie.
But one thing you find out in this business,
when you're looking for help, people will really shit on you.
You know what I mean? And whenever you have out in this business, when you're looking for help, people will really shit on you. You know what I mean?
And whenever you have to ask for money, because when you do a movie, you need investors.
You know what I mean?
And real, like my man J.B. Smoove, who I came up with, invested in me, believed in it, and did it.
Michael Blackston not only starred in the movie, you know, he used to sleep on my couch, gave me some paper to do it. But the one thing that I really got to say is the person that sh**ted on me
is the person that I wouldn't think would be the one that sh**ted on me.
And that was Tracy Morgan.
Really?
That was Tracy.
I'm going to tell you, and I'm going to keep it 100%.
I ain't got no beef with Tracy, but like I said, if you throw the truth out there,
I don't care if f**king power comes back to me.
When I hit Tracy, you know, Tracy's a full-blown superstar now. When he changed his number, I don't care how it comes back to me. When I hit Tracy,
you know, Tracy's a full-blown superstar now.
When he changed his number,
I don't even have his direct number.
So I hit my man and said,
yo, tell Trey I need to speak to him about the film.
I didn't even need money from Tracy.
The film's already done.
It's not like I need,
yo, Trey, I need 50K or blah, blah, blah.
I said, Trey, I want you to executive produce my film as I walk it into distribution.
Trey got back to me through my man and said, nah, Trey's not interested.
Now, the f***ed up part about it, I could take, no.
I could take somebody telling me my baby ugly if it's true.
Man, stop, man.
You know what I'm saying?
No, for real.
It's the truth.
I'm a realist.
And you got to be real in this s*** to see it.
He didn't even ask to see this s***. Wow. You know what I'm a realist. And you gotta be real in this shit to see it. He didn't even ask to see this shit.
You know what I'm saying? But years
ago for the same fucking project,
Tracy called me
five, six times.
Yo, Rob, what's up, man? You still got that script?
Him and Mike Epps was hitting me for this script.
Tracy sometimes be your best friend that day
and the next day it act like yesterday didn't
happen. So he hit me five
times. Rob, I'm getting ready to call you with my manager on the phone.
I want him to hear, pitch that script to him.
I got a couple of mil to shoot that.
Called me back again just to make sure I was going to pick up my phone.
Called me back a third time, said he's on a conference call, about to hang up.
Need you to speak to him.
We on the phone talking to his manager, blah, blah, blah.
He loves it.
Hits me back, says, yo, Rob, we need to fly out in L.A. next week. They want to want to do this. I said, Trey, I'm going on a cruise. I mean, my wife
cruise a lot. Went on a cruise. What I hear on a cruise, that's when the accident happened with
the Walmart. Jimmy Mack, our boy Jimmy Mack passed away. Rest in peace. And not only that,
I wrote for Tracy at the Uptown Comedy Club when he started.
He had a character called Biscuit that I wrote.
So it's not like I'm some new n***a who's coming in in the 12th hour.
I wrote s*** for Biscuit because he's 299 pounds, a biscuit away from 300 pounds.
I wrote s*** for him on Saturday Night Live.
So now I'm asking you to, you know, throw me a bone.
Help me walk this in someplace.
Help me walk this in.
Like, look at this s shit and then tell me no.
Don't just tell me no from the beginning.
So I'll never forgive that shit.
All right, we got more with Rob Stapleton when we come back.
Could you imagine doing your first comedy show
and Chris Rock walks in and you have to perform after him?
Well, he'll talk about it when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have one of the New York Kings of comedy in the building, Rob Stapleton.
Charlamagne, how did you get into comedy?
Like, you told us the story, but you didn't say exactly how you got into comedy.
Yeah, I mean, I was working at the phone company,
saw the open mic night like how a lot of people do.
Did the open mic night, killed it.
It was only like maybe 24 people there.
Killed it.
It was like being in a casino
And you put the
The shit in there
And you win
You know this shit is easy
Right right
I'm quitting my job
Next week
I'm like this shit is easy
So this is real quick
The next week

So everybody, oh, Stapleton's doing a show.
Stapleton's doing a show.
I'm like, oh, I'm going to kill them.
I had like 33 people come out from the job.
So I'm at the comic strip.
I only had like maybe seven minutes material.
And four minutes was funny.
Three minutes with people laughing in between.
You know what I'm saying?
But in my mind, so Chris Rock walks in,
and I'm like, oh, shit, Chris Rock gonna see me kill us.
I didn't understand the game that if you a star,
when you walk in, you get to go on right away.
I didn't know that.
I didn't know if they said they wanted to go on next.
And then you had to follow Chris Rock?
Right, so Chris went on and did 40 minutes of just, like, fire,
and I was like, hey, I was next. You know what I mean?
Like, how did that, who does he know?
You know what I mean? So he killed it
and I'm thinking, alright, cool. I went up there.
I did so f***ing bad.
You can hear the cabs
driving outside.
I did so bad that I saw me
in the crowd looking at myself
saying, get the f*** off.
So your 33 friends didn't cheer for you?
They just looked at me with the bills in their head.
And the f***ing part about it is I had to see them the next day at work.
You know what I mean?
So I made a thing to myself that that s*** was never going to happen again.
And one thing I learned from that is always create your own energy when you're on stage.
So I'm wild and crazy. I'm sweating. I'm doing s***. I learned from that is always create your own energy when you're on stage. So I'm wild and crazy.
I'm sweating.
I'm doing shit.
I learned to build my own energy.
Would you get out and be like, so, and say something about the fact that you had to follow Chris Rock?
Or did you just do your material?
Nah, I was just like thinking that that wave was just going to arrive with me.
But the tsunami came and flooded out my guts.
My liver was flowing.
I did so bad, the waitress was like, rap up.
Rap up. Wrap up.
I made the price of drinks go up.
Did Chris not stay and watch you?
Huh?
Did he stay and watch?
Hell no.
Hell no.
They don't do that.
They do it and they go to the next club.
He was probably on his way to the cellar after that.
You know, working on that new thing.
Came in, did his shit, and they left.
But I taught a lot.
It taught me a lot, I should say. Early on, that's good. This weekend, you and Caroline working on that new thing. Came in, did his shit, and they left. But I taught a lot. It taught me a lot, I should say.
Early on, that's good.
This weekend, you and Caroline.
This week at Caroline.
Tell them the times and everything.
Got two shows Friday, 7.30 and 9.30.
Two shows Saturday, 7.30, 9.30, or 10 o'clock,
and one show on Sunday.
It's going to be crazy, man.
It's my birthday.
It's one of the limited times that you see me drunk in public.
I'm doing a really, really celebrate life now. Before, it was all about's my birthday. It's one of the limited times that you see me drunk in public. I'm doing a really
really celebrate life now.
Before it was all about just your birthday
and blah blah. I celebrate life because
I lost a lot of friends in the last
two or three years and none of this
is just, I don't take it that it's given
that there's going to be another one. That's right.
So I really really celebrate life now.
You know what I mean? So y'all coming out man.
You know how I do. Caroline.com. Give me your Twitters and Instagrams and all that, Rob.
Yeah, hit me on that Instagram.
I still do MySpace.
If anybody not sure.
No, hit me on that Instagram,
at Rob Stapleton, S-T-A-P-L-E-T-O-N.
Hit me up.
Get my followers up.
Let's do it.
All right, it's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, Rob Stapleton.
The Breakfast Club.
She's spilling the tea.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Yes, the Grammys task force.
They are now inviting 900 new voting members,
and those members will all be women and people of color.
So they said it's a broad range of music creators,
including vocalists, songwriters,
instrumentalists, producers, engineers,
all of those people. So we don't know if those people are going to
accept that request, but they are going
to be invited. So they have made some immediate
changes as well.
The different review committees, which determine
the final Grammy nominations, are composed
of 51% women and 48%
people of color. So they're
trying to do it. Well, you need that.
You know, we did a, I did, I was sitting on a panel yesterday for Ad Week New York and
it was called Marketing in the Era of Trump.
And that's what I was telling them.
Like, yo, diversity matters.
Like you have to have these diverse boardrooms and you have to have these diverse advisory
boards.
You know what I mean?
If you do that, then you won't make some of the mistakes that we see people make.
Like Kendall Jenner, hands in police police a Pepsi in a commercial about rights.
No.
All right.
Now, LeBron James has decided to get extra security at his house in L.A.
Remember, we told you the LAPD arrested four people who are going and robbing people's homes
and also had a list of people that they were going to target,
and LeBron James was on that list.
Well, he is taking that seriously because he does have his family in the house.
So now he has at least
10 armed security personnel
at the house.
That includes off-duty police officers.
Light work for you, LeBron.
That's light money for LeBron.
I hope they shoot
somebody to teach these kids a lesson that are
breaking into these people's houses. Well, the cops also
believe there are more people involved in that whole
burglary ring and they're trying to get some leads to figure out who those people houses. Well, the cops also believe there are more people involved in that whole burglary ring
and they're trying to get some leads
to figure out who those people are.
And speaking of which,
Suge Knight has been sentenced
to 28 years in prison.
That is for the death of that man
that got hit during that hit and run incident
on the set of Straight Outta Compton.
So he pleaded no contest to manslaughter
earlier in the month
for killing Terry Carter.
And he had been facing life in prison and one count of attempted murder
in the case of Bone, who was maimed after he struck him with his truck as well.
But he is sentenced now to 28 years.
Now, I will say this.
I see a lot of people saying that it's a conspiracy against Suge Knight.
Suge Knight killed somebody, ladies and gentlemen.
He did.
I mean, it's on video.
He killed somebody. We got to. He did. I mean, it's on video. He killed somebody.
We got to knock it off.
All right?
The white man didn't bring Suge down in this situation.
All right.
And Steven Seagal walked out of an interview.
Now, he was on BBC's Newsnight, and the host, Kirstie Warke, brought up the whole Me Too
movement.
And you know he's been accused of rape as well.
And she asked him, you've been very much caught up in all the
allegations of sexual harassment you had a rape allegation against you and i wonder how you deal
with all that at that point steven so called and ripped out his earpiece and left you obviously
spend a lot of time in russia you spend a lot of time in america you're making films and so forth
and in terms of your life in america you've been very much caught up in all the allegations of sexual harassment.
You had a rape allegation against you.
And I wonder how you deal with all that.
Hello, Steven Seagal.
Why would you walk away from that?
That is true.
I got my homegirl, all of our homegirl, Claudia Jordan, salute to Claudia Jordan. Way before there was a Me Too, Time's Up movement,
Claudia Jordan was telling me stories about how Steven Seagal was trying to sexually assault her.
Wow.
At his crib.
Or attempted to sexually assault her or rape her or something.
Well, he does deny all of the claims, but, you know, there's been a few people.
All right.
I can honestly say I heard that about Steven Seagal way before there was a Me Too Time's Up movie.
From a friend of ours.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
All right.
Thank you, Miss Yee.
Now, when we come back, we have Donkey of the Day.
Who are you giving your donkey to, Charlamagne?
Oh, man.
We need to give it to a woman who I know for a fact thought that this tweet was so fire
before she sent it out.
Oh, boy.
We need Bette Midler to come to the front of the congregation.
We like to have a little war with her. And I got questions. Okay. All right. We'll do that when we come back she sent it out. Oh, boy. We need Bette Midler to come to the front of the congregation.
We'd like to have a little war with her.
And I got questions.
Okay.
All right, we'll do that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkeys of the Day at Charlemagne.
I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed one.
So like a donkey.
Keyhole.
Donkey of the Day. a little bit of a mixed one. So like a donkey. Donkey of the Day.
The Breakfast Club,
bitches. Now I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but Donkey
of the Day is a new one.
Yes, Donkey of the Day for Friday, October 5th
goes to an American singer-songwriter,
actress named Bette Midler. I'm sure you've been
on an elevator or in a
department store and heard the song Wind Beneath
My Wings. Let's hear it. Let's hear it. What you mean you don heard the song Wind Beneath My Wings, let's hear it.
Let's hear it.
Let's hear it.
What you mean you don't have
the Wind Beneath My Wings hook in there?
I know I got it.
You want me to sing?
Go ahead, start until you find it.
Did I?
Damn, y'all really don't want me to sing.
Okay, bae.
Okay, all right.
Turn that sadness off.
All right, fart on that record.
We had to sing that at school.
It don't slap like I remember, though.
It used to slap back in the day.
That was like moving up day at school when you're going from one grade to the next.
She was in Meet the Fockers as well, right, E?
Yeah, she played Gaylord Focker's mom.
Okay, so basically she's an icon.
She's worth $230 million.
She's a pretty big deal.
I don't know much about her.
She's a Broadway star, singer, act, everything.
Yes, she's a big deal, you know?
She's the wind beneath your wings.
But I do know last night she released a tweet
that was heavy on the manis.
Okay, my God.
I mean, I know in her mind she thought this tweet was absolute fire before she sent it, but it wasn't.
See, yesterday protests were happening in Washington, D.C.
in response to the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh
and his upcoming procedural vote in the Senate.
That's happening today, right?
Yeah.
So Bette Midler decided to do a little digital drive-by and spray the block one time.
So she tweeted, women are the
N-word of the world.
Raped,
beaten, enslaved, married off,
worked like dumb animals, denied education
and inheritance, enduring the pain
and danger of childbirth and life in silence
for thousands of years. They are the most
disrespected creatures on earth.
End quote. Bette Midler, I mean this are the most disrespected creatures on earth. End quote.
Bette Midler, I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but
I need you to shut the F up forever.
Okay? I mean, there's so much wrong with this tweet.
Women are the N-word of the
world. Y'all not tired
of people making zero sense on social
media? My first reaction to this when I
saw it is, if Bette Midler thinks
women are the N-word of the world, then what
does she think of actual N-words?
And why is she thinking
of black people as N-words? Couldn't
she just have said black people?
This is why you have to hold white people
accountable when they act clueless to the struggles
that minorities, in particular
black people, are facing in this country, okay?
Because in the words of the late, great urban
philosopher named Doughboy,
some white people act like they don't know, don't show,
or don't give a damn about what's going on in the hood.
Oh, they know.
They just don't show or give a damn, okay?
Bette just broke it all the way down when it comes to what she knows and words go through and have been through in this country.
She said raped, beaten, enslaved, worked like dumb animals,
denied education and inheritance.
Oh, she knows what's happening.
She's 72 years old.
And what somebody should simply say to bet is women have their own struggles.
N-words are black people have their own struggles, but black women have the struggles of both.
But this is not the oppression Olympics, okay?
All right?
Oppression is oppression.
Marginalization is marginalization.
Ain't nobody getting no medals based off who's the most oppressed.
Okay, you could have said exactly what you said about what women went through
without comparing them to N-words.
Now, Bette did apologize, and I put apologize in air quotes because it's some BS.
She said, the too brief investigation of allegations against Kavanaugh infuriated me.
Angrily, I tweeted without thinking my choice of words would be enraging to black women
who doubly suffer both by being women and by being black.
I am an ally and stand what you always have, and I apologize.
Bet once again, I need you to shut the F up forever.
You didn't even apologize for referring to black people as the N-word.
Okay?
Your tweet wasn't just enraging to black women.
It was enraging to all N-words. All black people as the N-word. Okay? Your tweet wasn't just enraging the black women. It was enraging to all N-words.
All black people.
Well, not really enraging to me
because I went and got
my annual physical this week
and my blood pressure was 110 over 70.
Drop one of Clues bombs for me.
Okay?
All right?
You know why it's not high?
Because I ain't stressing about nothing.
And more importantly,
I stay away from high-sodium foods
like mayonnaise.
So I wasn't enraged.
I just acknowledged that what you said was stupid.
And that's what Donkey of the Day is all about,
giving people the credit they deserve for being stupid.
Kathy Griffin, could you do the honors today, please?
Please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee-haw.
Now, you know she was trying to quote a song.
It's a song?
Yeah, it's a John Lennon and Yoko Ono song.
That's the song.
Well, give John Lennon and Yoko Ono the biggest hee-haw, too, then.
When they actually put that song out, it was a huge deal,
and people were upset about it back then.
Oh, well, give them another hee-haw.
And I will say, all white women who are allies, I respect you.
I see Amy Schumer out there working.
Bette Midler is usually on the right side of things.
She just said something extremely stupid yesterday.
But I think the reason for that is because she was trying to lead.
And I think the leaders of all resistance in America should be women of color because they have to carry the burden of both struggles being women and being women of color.
That's just my personal opinion.
OK, white women be allies.
Let the sisters lead. But don't listen to me. I'm just That's just my personal opinion. Okay, white women be allies, let the sisters lead.
But don't listen to me.
I'm just a stupid man with an opinion.
But one of the leading ladies in this country today
eloquently broke it down yesterday at the protest in D.C.
Please give Tamika Mallory the floor
so she can explain why black women got this.
Christine Ford, when he was mocking her,
there were people laughing.
And you know, I'm the czech white women person in the
women's market so let me tell you who was laughing white women were standing there laughing with
their white husbands it means that 94 of black women went to the polls for hillary clinton
someone who looks like you young people people cannot show up. We
got this. Black women
are in control and we got this.
Drop on the clues bombs for the resident
white women checker, Tamika Mallory.
All white people need
a resident color checker around them
to keep them in line.
Yes. That's all
I got for the day. Well, thank you so much,
Charlamagne, for that donkey of the day.
Okay.
Much appreciated.
Now, coming up next, Pleasure P is going to be joining us.
You know him from Love & Hip Hop Miami.
He also was in Pretty Ricky.
I guess he still is.
Can we say Pleasure P is formerly of Pretty Ricky, or are they still together?
I think they've worked on some stuff together.
You can see them on Love & Hip Hop Miami together.
I don't know where this is going to end up, but it doesn't feel like they get along.
They've been doing shows together, though.
All right.
He lost some weight, too.
He was fat last time he came here,
but we'll talk about all of that.
Are you fat shaming?
No, I just said he was fat last time he came here.
He lost some weight.
He used to be Pleasure Portly.
Oh, God.
Still a little portly, though.
We'll talk about it.
It's The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club.
Hi, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Yes, sir.
Pleasure Pete.
What's up?
What's up, my brother?
What's up, sir?
Everything good.
I can't complain, man.
What's happening?
Working.
You're back.
What you about to do?
Love and Hip Hop again, right?
Yeah, season two.
We about to, yeah, we about to get that back popping in January.
But I'm just releasing music through the platform as I should.
Has Love & Hip Hop opened you back up to your core and to more fans?
Nah, my fans are grown.
You know what I'm saying?
So I don't know.
I don't think it really helped me that much in the sense of people that like me already like me.
So has it helped at all?
Yeah.
I don't think so.
I don't know.
So why are you doing it?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's only been one season.
That's a good question.
It's only like,
yeah, you're right.
It's only been one season,
so just trying to figure it out.
What's the check like?
How much do you make a show?
Is the money good?
It's not a good check.
$2,500?
Why are you doing it,
because it doesn't help?
I'm a hustler,
you know what I'm saying?
So I use it to, you know, do other things, you know, that's doesn't help? I'm a hustler, you know what I'm saying? So I use it to,
you know,
do other things,
you know,
that's all.
Yeah.
I think you either
over loving hip hop
or you over Pretty Ricky.
Which one is it?
Man,
both,
to be honest.
Everything,
all of it is a headache,
man.
I'm not,
you know,
I don't know.
Did the show bring
Pretty Ricky closer together
or is it more like,
eh,
it's not happening?
You gotta be mentally prepared
to be back together. So I think when so much stuff happened in the eh, it's not happening? You gotta be mentally prepared to be back together.
So I think when so much stuff happened in the
past, it can never be the same.
What's up with you groups? Like, groups just can't get
it together. It's hard with all those different personalities.
I don't know, man. I really
don't know. This fame can do something to people.
Like, when you had it one day to this
and then now you're that and then...
I don't know why people can't come to a show
and just do their job and go home.
It's a business.
It's easy.
Just show up to the studio,
do your verse.
It's easy.
You think it's jealousy
a little bit?
I don't know what it is.
It's spectacular rich.
It ain't about money though.
It's not getting money.
It's not making so much money
with social media
and all of that stuff like that.
Yeah, but as we all know,
it isn't always about money.
It ain't about money.
I got money.
I just don't, you know,
I don't broadcast
what I do and things like that.
I got child support and all kind of people watching me, so everybody's situation is different.
We can tell by your coaching making money.
But I'm just saying, you know what I'm saying, it's not always about money.
You lost a lot of weight too, man.
I think so.
Yeah, last time you was here, you was a little more portly.
That studio life, man, catch up to you.
You know, when you're in that studio, you got money.
You can order what you want, drink what you want, and, you know, it kind of catch up to you. You know, when you in that studio, you got money. You can order what you want, drink what you want,
and, you know, it kind of catch up with you.
Then you be depressed sometimes.
Like, f*** it, I'm going to just, you know, so.
Did TV make you want to lose weight too, though?
Because you go on social media and see everybody,
Pleasure P, you kind of got fat.
I don't care what people say.
People say the worst s*** about me.
Like, I'm to the point now, I just don't give a f***.
You went through a lot too, like you said.
That's why you changed your name back to your original name.
You feel like all those rumors are behind you.
No one brings it up anymore.
I mean, people are still going to say what they're going to say.
That's the hardest part for me.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, even though it's not true, you're still going to still try to bring that up or whatever the case may be.
I don't even remember the rumor, to be honest with you.
I just keep working.
Yeah, I was kind of, you know, I forgot, too.
What was it?
That I'm a child molester and all that kind of s*** back in the day. That's a terrible rumor. You know what I was... God, I didn't know. I forgot, too. What was the rumor? That I'm a child molester
and all that kind of
back in the day.
That's a terrible rumor.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, I don't want
that rumor to go down.
Well, I was successful.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I was number one
on the charts.
I just got nominated
for a Grammy.
And I don't know.
When you leave a situation,
you know what I'm saying?
When you leave a situation,
name one story
of a person that left
and became successful
who they didn't try to tear down.
The people that he used to mess...
Beyonce.
Oh, so you're saying that your own group put that out?
Absolutely.
You think the other members of Pretty Ricky put that out?
Absolutely. They probably won't say it, but
absolutely. Really?
You still decided to go back?
That's what forgiveness is.
You're a real man, man.
I haven't reached that level of forgiveness.
Yeah, I haven't reached
that level yet.
I'm getting there, though.
I'm getting to that level
of forgiveness,
but not that level.
I had to forgive a lot,
but you're going to see
a lot more of that
on this season
of Love and Him,
because I never really
talk about it
because I'm the kind of person
I just keep going,
keep going,
but yeah.
You're going to fight
one of them, though,
because one of them
is going to have to owe you
five minutes.
It was a tough time,
you know what I'm saying,
for us to even talk, to even get back together.
But once I looked at the bigger picture and everything like that,
I said, you know what, we put a lot of work doing those projects
and ain't really see nothing out of it, so let me try to...
But how can you trust them now?
Absolutely.
I don't. I don't. It's just business.
You just go in and do your verse, get on stage.
I tried, but I did what God asked me to do.
I forgave, and I tried.
And, you know.
But you didn't want to get to the bottom of it and say, why?
Or you just was like, I'm just going to let go and forget.
Well, I know why.
It's because I was popping at the time.
You know what I'm saying?
They wasn't.
And that's just the bottom line.
They that jealous of their brother?
Yeah.
When that shit happened, Twitter just came out.
Yeah, I was going to say it was early.
I didn't even know about Twitter or none of that shit.
The person who have a social media company,
all of a sudden, I thought that was sealed right after the fake attorney,
the fake account that they created
and all of that stuff to tarnish my name.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, you had to lose a lot of money, endorsements.
I lost a lot of money.
I lost my record deal.
I had to, you know, take that walk of descending,
you know what I'm saying?
Downsizing in life.
It was a good thing.
I'm still strong.
I'm still standing.
What label were you signed to?
I was at Atlantic.
Atlantic, yeah. When I left there, went to E1, was held up there.
Couldn't really release music.
So now that I'm independent, I got a situation with Empire.
I got another situation with 30 Tigers.
I'm just kind of trying to put back up music. You should have signed with whoever R. got another situation with 30 Tigers. I'm just kind of trying to...
You should have signed with whoever R. Kelly was signed with.
They seem like they would have understood.
You know the part about that is
when you Google that, like if you Google
my name, say I just met you. He's a good brother.
You know what I'm saying?
Let me Google him.
But they're not
really bad guys.
They're not bad guys.
They was in a bad place at the time's foul, bro. They can't put you out there like that.
They was in a bad place at the time.
I did everything.
I went back to the group.
I said, let's tour.
Can't tour.
Get to the shows and start throwing their pants in the crowd to a promoter.
It's like, man, I don't think we want to f*** with that.
You know what I'm saying?
It's always something.
Who the hell was throwing their pants in the crowd?
Slick did it one time. You know what I'm saying? Just, it's always something. Who the hell was throwing their pants in the crowd? Slick did it one time.
You know what I'm saying?
Then another time.
Oh, then another time.
The crowd was supposed to throw panties at you.
Why you throwing?
Then another time, Valentine's.
It's like a Valentine's Day show.
Everybody dressed to their nicest and stuff.
It's like a theater.
He throws water at, you know what I'm saying?
Like we back in 2000, whatever, five or whatever the case may be.
So it's always something.
So Pretty Ricky's done to you?
I thought you were doing a new album.
I don't know.
I don't know if it's done.
You know what I'm saying?
If people get their mind right
and their head right,
then maybe we could do one last album.
Business-wise, you know how to sell
more than anything
and you think the tour will do well.
So you're trying to stay
just for the business part.
No, it has nothing to do.
I'm not made of that anymore.
I'm not made of what anymore. I'm not made of
what I can make out of a situation.
It's just more so for my legacy.
Like, I just want to see the fans
enjoy it one last time
because we really did
put a lot of work in
to really get nothing out of it.
But as an adult,
you probably want to, you know...
What you mean get nothing out of it?
Like, we ain't like, you know...
Y'all ain't make no money?
I left because of...
Financial.
A financial situation.
And then months later, now it's a rumor out.
You know what I'm saying?
Why didn't y'all get no money?
How come you didn't get no money?
Y'all were doing well.
Y'all were touring.
To be honest, man, I'm not going to say that their father robbed us.
You know what I'm saying?
Because who knows?
And I think as a young man.
You said their father robbed us?
Yeah.
Yeah, their father managed the group.
But he handled all of the finances and things like that that came in.
But who knows who he owed to even get us there. So to to this day i respect him because if it wasn't for his money we wouldn't
even been noticed or anything like that so who knows but at at the time it was yo he robbed
everything show money this and this and that and that so you got the other members now they're
like man that he robbed us and there was no accountant yeah for me i'm just trying to i'm
just trying to think of it in the best way possible, which is
if it wasn't for that man money, I wouldn't be in
a position to even be here right now.
So, you know what, I just look at it like that
and keep it moving. Is there anybody in the group you get
along with? I get along with everybody in the group.
No, you don't. I just don't get along
with what they did. You know what I'm saying?
And for some
reason in the past, like when I do
things like, okay, you know, I pay for this studio time.
And, you know, we got Rico Love and we got all these people that want to work with us.
And, you know, I put in that time or whatever and then you not do your verse.
It make me feel some kind of way.
Right.
Knowing that I forgave you and knowing, you know what I'm saying, everything.
After they did you wrong.
Yeah, after all of that.
Like, we done been through all of that and you still on that.
Come on. You know what I'm saying? All right, we got been through all of that, and you still on that. Come on.
You know what I'm saying?
All right, we got more with Pleasure P.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club from the group Pretty Ricky.
And, of course, you might know him from Love & Hip Hop.
Pleasure P is in the building.
You need a hug, Pleasure P, man.
All the stuff you go through, bro.
I've been through a lot, man.
But I'm still standing. Are you happy?
Of course. I'm happier than ever now
because before I had the wrong people
around. They were around for the wrong reasons.
I mean, it's people who wouldn't
even take a picture with me. You know what I'm saying?
Because of what they heard. I don't know, like
I got a 14-year-old son, so I kind of look
at him and that's like my inspiration
every day to just, you know, keep going
and, you know, continue to show him what a man looks like
and how you deal with the world.
You know what I'm saying?
This business will make you have a breakdown, boy,
when things like that happen.
If you let it.
If you let it.
You say you was depressed a little, though.
I was.
I was.
But everybody, you know, is light at the end of, you know, every tunnel.
When does Love & Hip Hop Season 2 start again?
It starts in January,
so get ready for the f***ing show.
You know what I'm saying?
There's plenty of f***ing
people on the show.
You know it's gonna be
some bulls***.
Listen, they are the kings
of editing some s***.
Like, I was meeting a girl
at the same time
she was cooking for me.
Like, these are two separate days
of f***ing shadowing.
Wow.
And you know what I'm saying?
Like, you know,
it's TV.
You know, I thank everybody for just even giving me the platform to even do what I'm doing.
Have they ever tried to make you do something that you didn't want to do?
Like, I'm not doing that.
Nah, of course not.
They never even asked you?
Film with Pretty Ricky.
I film with them.
I don't hate.
He does.
Yeah, they always show up.
I don't hate anybody.
I'm just telling you the past as of what happened, and I'm over that.
Is Slickum the bad apple that's spoiling the whole bunch?
Nah, he's not.
He's not.
It's a mixture of him and, well, he do whatever he want to do.
You know what I'm saying?
And Baby Blue has this.
He's the one that, you know, does the most all the time.
Is it his dad was the manager?
Yep, his dad was the manager.
What do you mean does the most?
He always over the top and, you know, just, you know, that's just him.
You know what I'm saying?
You met Baby Blue when he was up here.
Oh, yeah, we fought the other day.
The other day?
Yeah, we did a show in Arizona.
So, oh, Matt, let me tell you this story.
There you go.
So, one of my homeboys, he like, you know, like I do business with him all the time.
So, I'm like, yo, book the group for whatever, whatever.
He books the group.
So, Baby Blue hangs around all these other guys.
And now they, you know, street guys and whatever.
You know what I'm saying?
So we go into the dressing room.
He got somebody there, whatever,
like all these dudes that I don't know, whatever,
which should be kept separately from, you know,
what we're doing behind the scenes.
So we're going to an after party now.
As we're walking into the after party,
I guess one of the guys kicked off with Slickum.
So me, I try to intervene.
So Dog, he started getting some kind of way with me.
And then I get out of character now.
It caused a big uproar, whatever, whatever.
So from that, I try to explain to him whatever.
And he could, like, the only thing he could say is,
well, I get money with this man and this and this and that and that.
And so fast forward it to this show in Arizona.
I'm like, yo, look, bro, just keep dog away from me.
You go in your dressing room.
I go in my dressing room.
We still going to work and get this money.
I think even after that, he went on social media
and started trying to make it seem like it was a part of loving hip hop.
Some crazy shit.
It's like, dog, I don't play them kind of games.
Like, you got a problem with me?
Just call me, bro.
I'm not going to do the whole social media for attention type crazy shit. It's like, dog, I don't play them kind of games. Like, you got a problem with me, just call me, bro. I'm not gonna do
the whole social media
for attention type of shit.
Especially when I'm
promoting my single,
You Changed.
Now they worrying about
who's beefing with
Baby Blue or whatever.
And then on top of that,
it makes the brand look bad
when you're doing this.
So in the middle of the show,
he's trying to,
he tried to have
one of those moments,
you know,
me and Pleasure,
not really in,
in,
in the middle of the show. He tried He said that in the middle of the show?
He tried to do this in the middle of the show.
So now people are going to have out their phones or whatever, whatever.
So then, you know, Manny turns off his mic.
It's spectacular.
I'm like, no, not right here.
So this is the last song.
So I walk off stage.
He came to my dressing room.
And I just say, yo, just give me my time to get over whatever happened, whatever.
Just, you know, you do your thing.
I'm going to do my thing.
It's cool.
And then he came in my dressing room, and then we fought.
Who won?
I did.
No, no, no.
So he came in your dressing room and what?
He punched you?
He slapped you?
He said, yo, dog.
You know what I'm saying?
No.
Then I'm like, yo, get your mans.
I'm like, yo, y'all, get dog.
Who are you talking to?
Baby, I'm talking to, like, security.
I'm like, yo, get this man.
You know what I'm saying?
So when security come, he push me.
Security push you?
No, he push me.
I'm about to say, nobody likes you on your team.
So I just caught him with a couple.
Pop, pop, pop.
And that was it.
Three piece in the world.
And then the security broke it up after that?
It wasn't really.
Oh, you just hit him and he kept it moving?
I threw him around the room.
Nah.
Baby, we about to get on social media today and say, you lying.
You ain't touch him.
I swear on my son.
I'm not going to lie, but it happened.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm just speaking my truth.
It was three piece?
More like two.
Two piece?
It was a quick.
You said boom, boom, boom.
No, that's three.
No, it was.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Did you guys fight and then make up like everything's good afterward?
After, yeah, we try to like pretty much make up on the show and all of that stuff, but
you know
It's still not a genuine
It's still not a genuine thing
You know what I'm saying
What's the next show
What's the next show
Were the cameras rolling
During all of this
No it wasn't
No love and hip hop cameras
This wasn't
This was off
This was real then
This was real
But what people try to do
They'll try to incorporate it
In the show
You know what I'm saying
And yeah
It's that kind of thing
What's the next show
I'm going to the next show
I'm not really performing
With them right now.
You want to go to see T-Rama, Envy?
Yes, absolutely.
So we see where you and Baby Blue at.
What about Slick'Em?
Slick'Em is the wild, reckless one.
Slick'Em is cool, man.
You know what I'm saying?
He just, you know, he need a little help and guidance
and I try my best to, you know what I'm saying, do that.
I try to do my best by everybody.
It's just what's done back that i can't really
keep accepting i went to australia and tour for a month like maybe like two weeks ago and um as i'm
sitting over there i'm analyzing everything like hold on wait you was number one they put out a
on you to you know because whatever the situation was jealous whatever you lost a lot of you forgave
them you know I'm saying?
You put it back together.
You came and you brought other things to the table.
You brought love and hip-hop to the table.
You brought, like, I didn't do what Omarion did.
Yo, if you bring this one on the show,
you do this one, that one, that one.
I'm not doing it, signing a contract.
Nah, I got an opportunity.
Come on.
You know what I'm saying?
Let's do another album.
Let's get back to work.
Slick, I'm not doing too good.
I think a real boss is everybody that's around you you know at least you make sure you
straight you know or make sure everybody's straight why you say you're not doing good
you know drugs you don't have no money he'll tell you he ain't got no money like the situation ain't
you know not everybody is is meant to be a boss or you know what i'm saying so it's our job to
kind of make sure yo we get them on the right track and things like that you know what i'm saying so it's our job to kind of make sure yo we get them on the
right track and things like that you know what i'm saying so for me doing this album was more so for
just let's do it i'm all i'm good i can tour for the rest of my life dog just singing boyfriend
number two and did you wrong and you know i go around the world doing it so i'll be all right
you know what i'm saying and i got other things i So, you know, but that's how I look at it.
Like, everybody got to be straight.
So it's like, let me do one last album, one last tour, and let's do it.
And the process behind it is everything that I'm talking about,
which is something that I'm not happy about.
Who manages the group now?
We manage it.
It's, you know, I think we probably do need a better, you know,
like a one-person type of thing if we were going to do something.
You know what I'm saying?
So you're not happy with your management?
Somebody impartial.
No, no, no.
I'm saying they like, okay, Julian got Amada.
He got me.
You know what I'm saying?
Everybody got a lot of other stuff going on.
But to manage Pretty Ricky, it takes a lot.
Did Spectacular do y'all social media for the last project?
He do the social media for, yeah, for every project.
Okay, I'm just making sure.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, that's his company,
so I would hope
he did that for his own group.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It benefits him, too.
Is he good at what he does?
Um, I think so.
I think he, you know,
he good at the Facebook thing
and things like that.
Like, as soon as he said
I got a social media company,
I let him do my Facebook.
I got, like, five million,
you know what I'm saying,
followers.
It paid me every month, but, you know, I let him do that. That's cool. You know what I'm saying? That's them do my Facebook. I got like 5 million, you know what I'm saying, followers. It paid me every month, but, you know,
I let them do that. That's cool.
That's good money at Facebook.
A little money, you know what I'm saying? I can't really talk too much because
they're going to put that out in court.
Yo, so in the Breakfast Club, you said
that you made this amount of money.
You said that you spent this amount of money.
Yeah, Breakfast Club interviews have come up in a lot of
courtrooms. It's f***ed up.
Everything. So I just, I don't post nothing.
I just, I'm chill.
Well, thank you for joining us, brother.
Pleasure P Presents.
Thanks for having me, man.
Pleasure P, man.
E.P. out right now.
Get the E.P.
And love and hip hop in January.
All of that.
Yeah, man.
Appreciate it.
Well, it's the Breakfast Club.
It's Pleasure P.
The Breakfast Club.
Listen up.
It's just in. All the gossip.
Gossip. The Rumor Report.
Gossip. With Angela Yee.
It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club.
But I do want to correct a mistake
earlier that that was actually
Barbra Streisand and not Bette Midler and Meet the
Fuckers. Everybody's right. Oh, so it was Barbra
Streisand instead of Bette Midler. Yeah, that was
a Meet the Fuckers. Big mistake. Sorry, guys.
It's okay. We all look alike to them.
They all look alike to us.
That was my mistake.
I'm sorry.
I love you, Barbara.
She's from Brooklyn.
All right, now let's talk about G Herbo.
Now, if you remember,
G Herbo was on lip service
and he had some things to say
about his relationship.
You know, they have a newborn baby.
Everybody loves to see
the two of them together.
And here's what he had to say
when he was on lip service.
That's how my girl try to do his fight.
She crazy.
You know what?
Y'all need to have a conversation because it could end up really bad.
Like it could end up.
It ain't going to end up.
No, I ain't like that.
No, I'm just saying because it could be somebody else called the cops.
Like anything could happen.
And it could be something that escalates too much.
You, sir, have to always make sure you de-escalate.
But on some real shit, y'all should probably, because you have a kid now.
So it probably would be helpful for you guys to just at least work on those things.
Because you guys love each other.
She'll get mad.
She'll be yelling like with my son in her hand.
Like she ready to fight me already.
Well, now his child's mother is going on social media.
I guess they did break up.
She said, I'm single.
I'm only addressing this because you weak ass hoes effing folks.
And I'm not going to lie.
It's embarrassing because you're so weak.
So I don't want you all to think you're effing my N-word.
Eff at your own risk.
So I guess she's like, I don't want to be embarrassed.
And people think we're still in a relationship.
So that's the only reason I'm publicly letting you all know that I'm single right now.
Oh, I got you.
That makes sense.
Wouldn't you do that?
I guess if you were dating a high profile person, you would do that, right?
Right.
Sleeping with other people.
I don't want people to think we're still together.
She said, honestly, what's most embarrassing is the N-word out here, F-ing hoes that look up to me.
Even if it wasn't a high-profile person, if you was in school or something, you'd let everybody in school know we ain't together no more.
They can do what they want to do.
Right.
Well, they have a very feisty relationship.
So they have broken up and gotten back together, it feels like, quite a few times.
So maybe they'll work through this as well.
All right. Tina Turner.
A musical based on her life is
coming to Broadway. And I'm, by the way, very
excited about that because my
mom actually used to love Tina Turner when I was
growing up. So I know like every Tina Turner song.
So I'll definitely be going to check that out. I love
Tina Turner, but I'm not sure we need that only because
of the greatness that is What's Love Got
to Do With It. One of the most classic biopics
of all time. I don't know why Angela Bassett
and Lawrence Fitzgerald did not both win Oscars for
those roles, but I don't know
if we need that. Well, wouldn't you want to turn something
that classic into a Broadway play like they do
all the time? I don't know. It deserves it,
man. The songs are phenomenal. Tina Turner
was a great dancer. Listen, I love
What's Love Got to Do With It, the movie,
but if you watch it now, it's very triggering.
Like, I'd be cringing.
Like, God damn, Mike.
No, man.
I don't know if I want to see that.
But it's really what happened.
I don't know.
We'll see.
All right.
And let's talk about Nicki Minaj.
She's starting her own merch line now.
The other day, we took a picture at the iHeartRadio Festival.
And shout out to Mike Kaiser. He had on his Cardi B
merch and there's a picture of her
with a knot on her head from the Fashion Week
party where her and Nicki Minaj
I guess she threw a shoe at Nicki and then somehow she got
elbowed in the head. She has her own merch
coming. Well, it looks like Nicki Minaj has hers
as well. She posted a picture
of a bag and it says, Nicki, stop
my bag. So that's her way
I guess of throwing some shade back at Cardi
because Cardi's claiming that Nicki Minaj
was trying to stop her bag.
I don't know if Nikki stopped her bag,
but the police definitely investigated Cardi
over what Nicki Minaj said on Queen Radio.
So is she going to get a bag that says,
Hi, I'm an informant?
Whoa.
I'm just saying.
If you see something, say something. What is she going to do next? All right. And shout out to T. Whoa. I'm just saying. If you see something, say something.
What is she going to do next?
Alright, and shout out to T.I. Let's Not
Forget. His album Dime Trap is
out today, so make sure y'all go cop
that. Also, Dave East and
Styles P, their beloved
album project, joint project is out today
as well. And I think Ghostface has
an album out today also. Well, you know Ghostface
Killer is my favorite MC of
all time. The Lost Tapes.
T.I. is one of my top seven favorite
MCs of all time. And I rock with
Styles and Dave E. So I got some good
gym music for the weekend. Yes, you put Styles P
definitely above Mase.
It's not even close. I know, I know.
Sorry, I just had to bring it up again.
Alright, well, I'm Angela Yee and that
is your Rumor Report. Yes, and DJ Envy is coming up with the All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
Yes, and DJ Envy is coming up with the People's Choice Mix.
I would tell y'all the phone number and have y'all call and request the song,
but why would I lie to y'all? Well, don't do that.
You know DJ Envy is nominated for a BET Hip Hop Award,
and that's going down this weekend in Miami.
So a lot of people, I'm in Atlanta right now,
are actually leaving Atlanta to go to Miami for the BET Hip Hop Awards,
and DJ Envy's nominated for DJ of the Year. Very true. Well, DJ Envy's People's Choice Mix is coming up
next. It's The Breakfast Club. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water,
500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
