Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. Listen to Escape from Zaka Stan. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-A-S-T-A-N on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best, and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, y'all. Niminy here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids

and families called Historical Records. Executive produced by Questlove, The Story Pirates, and John Glickman, Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone.

The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different, inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. And it began with me. Did you know, did you know? I wouldn't give up my seat.

Nine months before Rosa, it was called a moment. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, 1974. George Foreman was champion of the world. Ali was smart and he was handsome.

The story behind the Rumble in the Jungle is like a Hollywood movie. But that is only half the story. There's also James Brown, Bill Withers, B.B. King, Miriam Akiba. All the biggest black artists on the planet. Together in Africa. It was a big deal.

Listen to Rumble, Ali, Foreman, and the Soul of 74 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It's time, it's time, it's time. Time to wake up. DJ N, Angeli Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God. The Breakfast Club, bitches. The voice of the culture. People watch The Breakfast Club for light news and really be tuned in. It's one of my favorite shows to do.

Just because y'all always keep it 100, y'all keep it real. They might not watch the news, but they're on Twitter. They're on Facebook. They're, you know, they're listening to The Breakfast Club. Get your ass up. Good morning, Charlamagne. Peace, Angelique. Peace to the planet.

It's Thursday. Yes, it is. One more day until the weekend and tomorrow's payday for some people. What's tomorrow? Tomorrow is the 28th. And you know, it is a leap year. So we still have the 29th on Saturday. That's crazy.

Black History Month is the shortest month of the year. February is usually the shortest month of leap year. So we still have the 29th on Saturday. That's crazy. Black History Month is the shortest month of the year. February is usually the shortest month of the year. But it still feel like it flew by. Yeah, we got an extra day this year. Oh, that means Ja Rule gets to celebrate a born day. Yeah, his birthday is on the 29th. You know what I'm saying? I don't think you're officially hip-hop unless you know that Ja Rule celebrates his born day on a leap year. And the only reason I know that is because I just think that's so interesting to me. Because you can live, you know, to be 40-something years old, but you only celebrate your born day on a leap year. And the only reason I know that, because I just think that's so interesting to me,

because you can live, you know, to be 40-something years old, but you only celebrate your born day, what, every few years? Well, I'm sure he still celebrates every year. What did you do on the... March 1st, I'm sure. March 1st? Yeah, but that's so odd. You know what I'm saying? Like, to actually celebrate on the day you were born.

Like, even last night, because I was talking to my spiritual advisor last night, and she wanted to do some type of reading on me. So I had to call my mom to find out what time I was born. And she, you know, I guess they didn't keep those kind of records back then. So it was between 9 a.m. and 12 noon. So imagine, like, not even, huh? I just told, well, they didn't keep mine. It was coming from my house in Saucon, okay?

So I don't have mine. How you going to tell me that? How you gonna tell me my mama kept the records and I'm sitting there telling them? White people. He's talking to our camera guy, Steve. White people.

From Revolt. White people. Yes. So, long story short, imagine not being able to celebrate your born day on the day you were born. The actual day.

Right. So it's gotta be fun for Ja. It's a special year this year for him. So how old is Ja really? I don't know how old he is right now, but if he was 40, he'd be 10. Yeah, okay. What'd you do last night? So yesterday I had a couple of different things for Black History Month.

I was at IPG Media Brands, Kineso, and that's an advertising agency. They represent like BMW. They represent Coca-Cola. They represent American Express. So I was moderating a panel at their office with Michelle Ebanks, who I love. She's the CEO of Essence, and I think Essence does great things for black women. They have that New Voices Fund, where

they actually invest in startups and other businesses for black women. And so she was on the panel, Q Gaskins, who works for the National Basketball Players Association. And who else is on the panel? Marcus, who works at the company there. And Vanessa Sattin, the CEO,

the editor-in-chief of XXL Magazine. She was talking about the freshman issue that's coming up. But we were just basically talking about investing in, you know, getting your black dollars and what you should be investing in and advertising and all of that. And then I had an event at Google

and that was for Fund Black Founders. And that's a great organization. They help people start their own. It's kind of like a GoFundMe or a Kickstarter, but for your business. And they actually coach you through everything and teach you how to actually get crowdfunding for your business.

Got you. I'm going to tell you something. Speaking of investments, I think we might need to invest in some of those surgical masks. Some goddamn masks everybody wearing. Yeah, coronavirus. This Heineken virus got me starting to get me a little shook here.

I'm not too sure about it. I think right now about 60 people have it in the United States. Jesus Christ. Haven't diagnosed, but they're scared because you saw how quickly it spread in China and Wuhan. So I think they're very nervous about what could potentially happen here. We got front page news coming up. Well, yes, let's talk about billions of people who have now been exposed to something else. And we'll tell you what that is.

Something else other than the Heineken virus? Billions of people. All right. I'll let you know when we come back. It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news.

Where we starting, Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, representatives for Barack Obama have had to send a cease and desist letter. To Joe Biden. Not to Joe Biden, but that's actually because of an ad that was made by the committee to defend the president. Obviously, they're in support of Donald Trump. And the ad was supposed to hurt his Democratic rivals. And so it was implying that former Vice President Joe Biden supports plantation politics using Barack Obama's voice. But of course, this had nothing to do with what Obama was saying about Joe Biden. It was actually something that had to do with what a barber was saying.

And so it's completely taking out of context. Here's what the ad was. Joe Biden promised to help our community. It was a lie. Here's President Obama. Plantation politics, black people in the worst jobs, the worst housing, police brutality rampant. But when the so-called black committeeman came around election time, we'd all line up and vote the straight Democratic ticket. Sell our souls for a Christmas turkey. Enough. Joe Biden won't represent us, defend us, or help us. Don't believe Biden's

empty promises. Very misleading. To defend the president of the people who are responsible for the content of this message. That's not Barack. Well, it's an audio book,

but it is Barack, but he is quoting a barber. It's in his book. It's from his book, so it's an audio book. So he's talking about what a barber said in a completely different context

more than 20 years ago. Yeah, a barber was clearly explaining what plantation politics were. That is what plantation politics is, basically. It's just the Democratic... So they cut that and made it seem like he was talking about Joe Biden, and it wasn't. I mean, listen, a lot of Democrats do, you know,

do plantation politics. There's African American support, you know, in exchange for welfare benefits and handouts. But at the end of the day, that's not what this was. This was not about Joe Biden. All right. I would say I think Joe Biden is a plantation politician. I would say that.

All right. Now, Clearview AI is a startup that actually takes billions of photos for facial recognition technology. They have all that information. They compile that. And that entire list was lost to hackers. So imagine that billions of photos that people use for facial recognition technology. They lost that whole list because somebody hacked and got that. So that includes police forces, law enforcement agencies, banks. All of those people are customers of Clearview AI.

And that's all the information that they've obtained. Now, the company said the person didn't get search histories conducted by customers, which includes some police forces, but they had more than 3 billion photos from the internet, and they got those photos from social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and there was some controversy in January because New York Times did an investigation that revealed that their technology allowed law enforcement agencies to use that to match photos of unknown faces to people's online images. So they actually did cease and desist letters from Twitter, Google, and Facebook.

But now that information is gone. Seems like they should be just as secure as a regular bank. There should be no way hackers should be able to get all that information. What am I going to do with that, though? Well, they'll be able to get in your phone. They'll be able to get in your bank accounts. They'll be able to get all that information. What am I going to do with that, though? Well, they'll be able to get in your phone. They'll be able to get in your bank accounts. They'll be able to get in a lot of different places. Yeah, you know how you use facial recognition for a lot of things.

I don't, on purpose. You don't use it for your phone? No. I use it. I use it for my phone, but a lot of people use it for different things. And if they have your pictures, they can pretty much do whatever they want to do. What else does facial recognition open, other than your phone? I haven't seen it for...

Your bank account. Your bank account? Your bank account? Yeah, a lot of times with the app on your phone, you can use that for your PayPal, for your Cash App. Your PayPal, your Cash App. Like even if you go on your, you know, if you have TD Bank or Chase or Citibank or whatever bank that you have, you ain't got to type your code.

You put your face there, boop, opens your account. I'm old school. I'm still typing in passwords and using fingerprints. Sorry, guys. I had to stop that because now they're getting a little crazy with the passwords. You got to add a one. I'm fine with that. I get creative. I actually get a rush when it says strong.

You know, when you type in the password, it says you're strong. Very strong. I actually get a rush. But then I can never remember what my chase is, what my TD is. And then if you end up having to change it, you got to figure out another one. It is too confusing. So if you can't remember, imagine how hard it is for a hacker.

But then I'm stuck. I got to try to figure out how to get back. That's fine. Maybe you need that. Think about that, right? You get stuck and then you change it again.

Maybe that's the era we live in where we should constantly change it. Maybe we should never get comfortable. You do need to change your password. You can't keep it all the time. Constantly.

But I use experience so I can see if yours is on the dark web. Yeah, me too. So you can see if your password has been compromised or people have been looking at your information and if it's out there. Well, I actually pay somebody to actually check mine

every week to make sure that nobody runs my credit, nobody does it because people have used my credit before. Yeah, on experience I have mine locked so you can't use it. Right. You have to call me, I have to unlock it. And that's annoying too, but I have that as well. That's fine, I don't mind. Yeah, on Experian, I have mine locked, so you can't use it. Right. You have to call me. I have to unlock it. And that's annoying, too, but I have that as well. That's fine.

I don't mind. Yeah, me too. All right. Well, that is front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent right now.

Phone lines are wide open. 800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary?

and there's a Confessions Part 3 on there. And after this preview went viral, a lot of people were feeling like Usher was confessing to herpes. Listen to this. You thought what you put me on for part two was the real issue It ain't right, I ain't proud I won't cry, I can't hide When it was you, I was strong That was you, what you gon' do I was doing it

I can understand why people think that. You said, you said, bae, let me take you to the ER. I said, nah, I'ma be alright. Well, the next day I found out from effing around that the sickness I had was life. Who the hell y'all know ever went to the ER for herpes? I don't know. You know, people are just funny.

I think people just do that to be funny. Duh. And so Jermaine Dupri responded. He said, I see y'all tripping. Confessions Part 3 is from a female's perspective. The song is about a girl cheating on him and getting pregnant by another man. She is then being stuck with the decision to keep or abort. Now that he knows, should he stay or leave?

People don't go to the ER for abortions either, do they? I don't know. Well, she was sick, so she went to the ER not knowing why she was sick. If you go to the ER for sick regardless. And that's how she found out that she was pregnant. I would love to know if anybody ever went to the ER for herpes. Please hit me up on social media and just let me know. But if you get sick and you figure, you'd be like, I'm going to the ER, wouldn't you?

Not for herpes. But you don't know if you have herpes, right? What do you mean you don't know if you have herpes? If you have herpes, what's the symptoms for herpes? It's called an outbreak. Oh, I don't know. I mean, I don't know. I would never know. I don't know. If you see some cauliflower-like growth

on your... Yeah, if I see some cauliflower growth on anything, I'm going to the ER. If your nose starts running, you got herpes. Shut up, man. These guys want symptoms. If you cough too much. Yeah, I think there's symptoms too.

But if I pee and it's a funny color pee, I'm going to the ER. Let me Google. See, he's talking and he don't even know. Herpes symptoms. I've never heard anybody

say they're going to ER. But when he says the sickness I had was life, that was him saying, you know, from the woman's point of view, the sickness was a baby. Symptoms of herpes, blistering sores, fever, tiredness, headache, itching, lack of appetite.

Caesar, if I have, what'd you say? Shut up, man. If I have sores, I'm going to the ER, bro. Blistering sores. I'm going to the ER. Okay, yeah, I can see going to the ER for that. Yes, I am. Like, oh my God, what's happening?

All right, now, here's some tragic news. Tyler Perry's nephew was found hanging in prison, suicide. And the family does not believe that. They believe it was foul play. So according to sources on TMZ, his 26-year-old nephew, Gavin Porter, was found dead in his cell Tuesday night. And the official said that he had gotten into a fight

with another inmate over the weekend and was placed in solitary. They said around 6 p.m. they went to check on him. There was nothing of concern and they came back at 8 p.m. and they said he was found dead and the family was notified that there was no foul play but sources say that his family is

not buying that whole story. So Tyler Perry has not commented on that. Rest in peace to him and salute to the Tyler Perry family. Harvey Weinstein. New York City prison officials are scared that he might do another Jeffrey Epstein like suicide.

Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself though. So what are they saying? They gonna kill him? Hard to say. So they said one possibility is that he'll be in a private section at Rikers Island, which is for high profile inmates or guys with health issues because he's both of those. They said he could land in the annex.

That's where other people are landing there. And they said he'll get his own cell, most likely, with around-the-clock surveillance cameras watching his every move. He seems like he's too weak to do that, though, to try to kill himself. I don't think he could hold himself up and do that. He is fat. Okay, guys. I mean, yeah. I don't know. Seems too weak. But I guess they're gonna have

to really pay attention after what happened. And that week was all fake, sir. He walked out of that courtroom the other day like it was nothing. There was no walker or anything. He started skipping. Don't need this now. Alright, Boosie Badass. He was on the Baller Alert podcast, Sesh with Shirley, and he talks about his

comments that he made about Zaya, who is a 12-year-old daughter of Dwayne Wade. And here's what he had to say about some of the backlash that he got for his comments. That's just how I feel. People gotta understand, that's how I feel. And even my mama, my mama got on my ass

yesterday. Really? Don't stay out of social media. That's they family. You stay out people business, this and that. But I was just speaking how I felt. I mean, just being a father yourself, do you feel like it's ever okay to tell someone how to parent their child? Not really.

But when I feel you wrong, you wrong. Because my people told me how to parent my children. I just felt that was wrong when I spoke on it. Alright, Boosie also talked about whether or not he had any relationship with Dwayne Wade. What is your relationship with Dwayne Wade? I don't know Dwayne Wade. I'm a fan of his

basketball. I'm a fan of that, but I wasn't a fan of what was going on. No one's reached out to try to get you guys in contact or nothing? Nah, he probably don't want to get in contact with me after what I said. You know, I said what I said. I don't hold my tongue for nobody. If that was Barack Obama, I would have said the same thing.

Listen, you can speak how you feel. You can speak your mind. But in doing that, you can also be loud and wrong, okay? Because number one, that's not Boosie's child. That's not his business. Number two, nobody ever said that young man was getting gender reassignment surgery. That never happened. Someone's skin, Boosie was just loud and wrong on that whole situation.

But that's his opinion. Whatever. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. I do wish Usher's song was about herpes, though. Why?

Because I just think that somebody should normalize it. Like one in, what, two people have herpes? Some crazy statistic like that? I think one in three, I thought I seen one in three. A lot of people have it. So it's just like he could normalize it. Actually one in, what, two people have herpes? Some crazy statistic like that? I think one in three, I thought I seen one in three. A lot of people have it. So it's just like he could normalize it. Actually, somebody just sent me a DM, asked you a question about that.

She found out that her ex gave her herpes, and now she feels like no one will ever want to date her. And I'm like, girl, you'll be fine. That ain't true. She got way more in common with a lot of people than she knows. Yeah, two people in his room have herpes. Well, I don't know how recent this stat is. If it's one in three, there's, you know. It says one out people in this room have herpes. Well, I don't know how recent this stat is. If it's one in three,

it is, you know. It says one out of six have genital herpes. Oh, one out of six. That's 55 million people in the U.S. 55 million people. So just one person.

Well, there's definitely six people in this room. And 90% of the people who have genital herpes don't know they have it. Right, because you might never have symptoms or an outbreak.

That's true. Or you might have one outbreak in life and then never have one again. All I'm saying is, Usher, that's a lot of record sales. You make that herpes anthem, bro? Come on now. You have a lot of people on your side who wouldn't even know it.

Alright, let's get into Front Page News. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, morning everybody. It's DJ MV Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some Front Page News. Where we start, Yee? Well, first of all Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where do we start, Wee Yee?

Well, first of all, we want to offer our condolences after this tragedy that happened in Milwaukee. Five people were killed after a worker at the Molson Coors Complex in Milwaukee opened fire. And they said the person, the suspected shooter, is a 51-year-old man from Milwaukee. He died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. They said he was a brewery employee.

And so, again, there were more than 1,000 people working at the campus. And police said that there were many employees who were still inside the complex. His officers were searching through the complex and trying to identify who is missing. So that was a very tragic day when this did happen. They said he got fired and then came back, right? Yeah, so... Sad.

Really sad. Five people were killed after that. All right. Now let's talk about the CNN town hall yesterday. Four Democratic presidential candidates were there.

That is Biden, Bloomberg, Klobuchar, and Warren. And some of the things that were discussed is Bloomberg admitting that stop and frisk was a mistake? You know, I made a mistake. And one of the things about me when I make a mistake and I'm going to make more in life, I'm sure I don't sit around and point. I think about it. I try to apologize and I try to fix it and not make that mistake again.

It seems like you only had a change of heart when you decide to run for president. The process is it's not true. Here, what happened is we did it too much and we did it so much that we lost some sense of how many people we should stop and who was likely to have. A judge said it was unconstitutional. No, she said that we applied it in the wrong ways, but not that the practice was unconstitutional. Listen, learn how to use enemies, man. Sometimes enemies will be more loyal than friends because they have something to prove. I feel like that's why Bloomberg throws his money around like that to the black community, because he feels like he's got something to prove.

Yeah, and to say you made a mistake and then he's trying to justify all kinds of different ways, it's not like he's really owning the impact and the effect that it had on people. Now, he has also talked about this Greenwood Initiative that is for economic justice for black America. Listen to what he had to say. In the case of reparations, I've agreed to a study.

My personal opinion is the first thing we have to do is focus on education because you are never going to fix poverty unless you do something. And if you take a look, the average black family in America has only one tenth the wealth of the average white family. We have to do something about that. And so I've focused on creating jobs and improving education. I have a plan coming out of the Greenwood, we'll call the Greenwood Initiative, to our objective is to have a million more homes in black hands over the next 10 years. All that sounds great.

Yeah, that's the best apology. The best apology is change behavior. But in this case, the best apology is a black agenda. Same way he oversaw policies like stop and frisk that marginalized black people, create plans like the Greenwood Initiative to empower black people. But it seems like all these candidates, there's something to F up our community some way or another. They're old white men. That's what old white men do.

We keep going back to the stuff that they did before the F about communities and not saying, OK, well, how do we change? How do we change the efforts that we've done? People are asking that. It's just that people aren't presenting things. Well, here's what Joe Biden had to say about the 94 crime bill. Speaking of things that were done to F up our communities. The crime rate was incredibly high.

It did not put more people in jail like it's argued. It was supported by the Black Caucus and the black mayors across the country. There was no stop and frisk. It set up everything from drug courts to ban assault weapons to the Violence Against Women Act. It had things in it I didn't like. It had money for state prisons, which I opposed. But on balance, everything that was in that, I supported it I and it provided for community policing and so crime went down violent crime was cut in half same thing justifying it just like Bloomberg did

same exact thing now would he sign that crime bill now here's what he said if a bill like it was brought to your desk as president of the United States today would you feel the same way you did in 1994 because the, because the circumstances, it was the right bill then. Now, here's what I would do. We should change the whole of the prison system from one of punishment to rehabilitation. Nobody should go to jail for drug use. They should do what I set up in the law.

Drug courts, they should be put in rehabilitation. Mandatory rehabilitation. See, the difference between Biden and Bloomberg to me is what is Biden offering now? Don't tell me you're the only person who can beat Trump. That's not enough. I want to know what are you presenting to black and brown people to empower us the same way you created that damn 94 crime bill to marginalize us. It's just that simple.

All right, well, that is your front page news. I just don't understand why can't they say, look, I effed up. Crime was high. I tried to reduce it. I took the wrong route. I was wrong. Well, that is your front page news. I just don't understand why can't they say, look, I effed up. Crime was high. I tried to reduce it. I took the wrong route. I was wrong. Well, that is what Bloomberg said. Yeah, but why do we keep asking the same question?

Because he keeps giving the same answer. That is true. Listen, I do love town halls, though. I love town halls way better than debates. I think debates are whack. Like, debates are just the candidates attacking each other. If you're someone like me who's just voting their interests, if I have specific things I care about, town halls give the candidates the ability to speak on those particular things. The debates, you have such a limited amount of time

to even get your point across, too. It seems like they ask the same questions over and over and over. And what are we getting out of it? One of the best things Bloomberg said last night was he said regardless of if he's president or not, he's going to still make that kind of investment in the black community. Yeah, I hope so. He should. He got 60-something trillion dollars.

I mean, it seems cool to say that now, but let's see if he doesn't win if he still does that. Okay. All right, well, that is your Front Page News. Now, when we come back, Royce the Five Nine will be joining us. Nice. All right, Royce, of course, he's from Detroit. He has an album out right now.

He has a great album out right now. He sure does. So we'll kick it with Royce when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired?

Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy.

There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe owned country.

My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a racket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets.

We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast.

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

And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Royce Da 5'9". What's up, my brothers? Welcome back, sir. Allegory is out right now. Royce, let me tell you something.

I've always known you as dope, right? Okay. And I think every time you drop a project, people realize you're dope. But now, y'all might have to start having some different conversations about Royce the Five-Nine. I'm talking about like, goat MC conversations. Thank you, man.

Like, what are you doing? I feel like you're going to therapy, reading, like you're just taking in more information that's just making you smarter and making your rhymes better. And obviously you feel that way, because I see the goat ring on your head. Oh, it's just, you know, you know, you should think the world of yourself.

Yeah, I think it's therapy. I think therapy does a, therapy can do a tremendous job for a person. You know what I mean? Especially artists because knowledge of self is what makes it to where you can make improvements in every aspect of your life,

including, you know, the creative aspects. And I'm always practicing. And you're right, I am always taking in information. And I'm just intrigued. I'm intrigued by perspective. And, you know, I'm just learning a lot. Learning a lot. And I still love it.

I still love it. And messaging is very important because there's certain things on the album, you'll be like, Google that. I'm like, shit, let me Google that. You know what I'm saying? But I can honestly hear the therapy. I'm like, yo, Roy's in therapy right now.

I know that type of talk. I know that type of introspection. Yeah, man. I mean, it's a great thing. It's a great thing to grow. And plus, you know, when you're looking out at the landscape, you just see. You just see where certain voids need to be filled. It makes it easier for you to kind of know your place.

More comfortable in my skin. You know what I mean? I feel like that takes a minute for every black man. You know what I mean? Like, it takes us a minute to get comfortable in our skin. When did you get there? I can honestly say maybe, I'd say five years ago. I've been sober almost eight years probably five years what was

that moment another spiritual awakening maybe yeah you know we have them I have mine on the way to the bathroom you know I'm saying but uh another spiritual awakening it's just you you wake up one day and you just start seeing things a little bit clearer than what they were before and it's a little bit more of the truth you know i'm saying once you get especially when you're looking at the game you get past all the conflation and everything and you just get to see things for what they are you start noticing things you know i mean like sometimes you don't like what you see you know like us not being included you know getting receiving economic inclusion on certain levels and like that you know it's like it makes you want to like research other things

and you know i mean you just you just start accepting it for what it is and then you know, it's like it makes you want to, like, research other things. And, you know what I mean? You just start accepting it for what it is. And then, you know, like, it's like it takes a certain kind of person to be willing to unlearn a lot of the things that we learned in order to take in new information, the real information. At 41 years old, the past three years, I've unlearned more things than I've learned. Yeah. Because you're dealing with, like, 30-plus years of shit that don't serve us no more. Now, imagine that on a level of level of like religion or something like that.

Yes. When it's like you don't want to let people down. You know what I mean? Like your beliefs are based on something somebody who you love taught you. And then it's like, okay, to even question it makes you feel bad. I know somebody who's personally going through that. Wow. One of my Muslim brothers is personally going through that he doesn't believe in islam no more

no he just he's just got questions which is fine i think you should be able to ask those questions i remember when when i come i grew up jehovah witness so they used to bring the elders to my house because i was such a bad kid so one of the elders named brother hyatt was at my house and he was talking to me and he was telling me about you know things like sex before marriage and all this and i go. I said, well, the Bible says in Deuteronomy 14,

you shouldn't touch the flesh of a dead pig nonetheless eat it. He was like, oh, but you know, you just got to pray over the food.

So I said, if I pray over the food, does that make it okay? Right. He had no answers. So that's, I think questioning is good. Yeah.

You know, one thing about this album that I really like is the skits, right? Now, with the skits, right? Mm-hmm. Now, with those skits, explain those skits a little bit. Is that the things that you learned in this industry that you're breaking down,

that you're learning now, and you're teaching the younger generation? So break down those skits a lot because there's so much knowledge in those skits. Which ones exactly? You talking about the Derrick Gray skits? I like the Generation is Broken. What was the significance of that one? Generation is Broken. Damn, which one is that one, Keno?

Is that where I had Travis? Where I have Travis singing? That one was real short. It actually was longer than that, and I shortened it just to get... It's leading to the gun joint, right? Okay, so I actually... I was trying to figure out a way. I had my young artist, Ashley Sorrell, who's super talented. She's phenomenal.

Super talented. I love her. She's the most talented person I think I've ever met. I had her just go in and sing the exact melody of the sample that I was using for the West Side Gun joint. So I was just trying to figure out a way to segue into that one. So I had my young dude, Travis Chandler, another talented kid, come in. And I just said, sing something and just pretend like you're standing on a corner or something. And he just came out of nowhere.

A generation is broken. It's kind of crazy, man. Like when things just fall into place like that, that's when I feel like good about them. So it really wasn't like a, you know, a crazy story to tell about that one in particular. Because it seems like you're trying to teach so much. Like you're talking about the liabilities and assets and different things. And if a friend is this and what increases in value, what decreases in particular. Because it seems like you're trying to teach so much. Like you're talking about the liabilities and assets and different things. And if a friend is this, and what increases in value,

what decreases in value. It's the mentality that you don't hear a lot of people talking about that I think our generation, or I could say our community needs to know more about that. Yeah, see, that's a dude named Derrick Grace. So you ever seen the guy kind of heavy set with the tattoo? From Florida.

So I came across These clips on the net Of him teaching his kids All of those things And I was super intrigued by them And I was like you know what I'm going to put some music behind them And see how it sounds So I put some music behind them

Didn't really like the way it sounded So I put something else behind it Then it started to click It started to sound kind of crazy So I'm like alright I'm going gonna use these so I reached out to him and just thanked him and was like yo man you inspired me to look for those teachable moments with my kids I may not necessarily want to teach them every single thing that he's teaching his kids but the fact that he's arming them with the information in that way and how astute to detail

that they are you know and how quick they just reciting everything back. I love children. Who's coming to save you? I saved myself. I saved myself. I love children, man. I feel like they bring happiness. I feel like they bring money.

I feel like they bring good karma. I'll keep having them if I could. That's so crazy. Yeah, brother, I'm telling you, if my wife was with it, I would just keep having them. I just realized that was their grace. I literally thought that that was there, Grace. I literally thought that that was something you wrote. I thought so, too. I thought you told me yourself.

I thought for sure that was you. I get it now. It's clicking now, but I'm like, oh, that was there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's two of them that I used on there. Even the ice cream in a little. Was that true? That's what I wanted to do. That's true. That's true. Harry C. Brown. Okay. Harry C. Brown. The song is called

N***a Love a Watermelon. And that's the same ice cream truck theme that's been coming through our neighborhoods ever since we've been babies. All right, we got more with Royster Five Nine

when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Royster59.

Charlamagne? I didn't know you looked at your rhinestone do-rag as your shiny shoot moment. It was. I never thought about it. It was, bro, because, I mean, there never was a time where that was, like, cool. You know, it's not like it was like a phase

that hip-hop went through. I thought it was a Detroit thing. I didn't know. See? I mean, that's what you... The rhinestone do-rag? The rhinestone do-rag? That's the last thing that it I thought it was a Detroit thing. I didn't know. See? Oh, man, I thought what, the rhinestone duress? That's the last thing that it was,

it was a Detroit thing. But, you know, when I was signed to Columbia, man, they were like, I don't know if they were trying to turn me into Nas or what was going on,

but they told me, because I love the way Nas dress, so I was just like, they told me I needed a stylist, and I was like, they was like,

who do you like, who dresses? I was like, Nas. All right, we're going to give you his same stylist. And she suggested the rhinestone durag. I've never seen Nas in a rhinestone durag. I've never seen Nas. I have seen Nas in an Adidas tracksuit with Nikes on, which disgusted me.

But I've never seen him in a rhinestone durag. Well, I've never seen him in a rhinestone durag either. And that's why I feel like it was a conspiracy. You said you wore the rhinestone durag. So you don't have to. You you wore the rhinestone do-rag, so you don't have to. You know, the rhinestone do-rag becomes, it's not even about the rhinestone do-rag in particular no more. It's the thing that that represents in the business.

When we come in and we just become accepting, you know, because we don't want to let nobody down or we don't want to ruffle feathers and shit like that. So the message is just you don't have to be so accepting. It's okay to question things. It's okay to, you know, like, use your instincts. You know, that's one of the things that we forget to use when we're young artists because we think we just want to be famous

and, you know, we go on with the flow. But there's people out there, like, there's executives out there who prey on that shit. You know what I'm saying? Does it excite you that it feels like lyrics are coming back lyrics matter not just on your regular heads it seems like

it's getting more commercial now with people really starting to care about lyrics again I mean it's exciting it's exciting but I'm not really one of those guys who ever felt like they didn't matter you know what I mean and I had like a little small celebration when this guy was saying, I don't care about no lyrics.

You remember when Kendrick dropped the control verse? I do remember. And right before that, you were like, I don't care about no lyrics. This was earlier than that, though. This was when Kendrick first was bubbling. I don't think Good Kid Madness, you talking about when Slaughterhouse first came in?

Or before that? No, no, no. I wasn't here. I was just, you know, I watched the show. Oh. You were saying it on the show and you were like, nobody cared nothing

about no lyrics. I think maybe a day later, Kendrick dropped the control verse and all that shit changed. And it's like that sometimes. Sometimes, you know, the landscape,

they don't think the lyrics matter until somebody just does some important shit. Now, I wonder if that was the lyrics or just't think the lyrics matter until somebody just does some important s*** now I wonder if that was the lyrics or just because of the fact

he was naming everybody's names I think it was the fact that the position that he was in and the statement that he made the statement that he made

and the line and the sand that he drew you know like s*** was just too friendly at that time you know what I mean we gladiators

we're not against each other In no type of way But we gladiators We gotta push each other And it's not It's not kumbaya all the time Even when I was in there With Slaughterhouse

We were in there Trying to take each other's F***ing heads off You know what I'm saying I do think all of that Has changed though Because even if you name The last

Over the past decade If you name the best rappers They were all guys Who could spit You know what I'm saying I'm not even gonna say The best rappers I'm just gonna say the top hip-hop artists. The Drake, Cole,

Kendrick. They can rap. The Big Sean can rap. Wale them can rap. I think the most important projects that have dropped since hip-hop has been in existence has been all people who can rap. All of the Outkast albums. You know, the Chronic.

All of the Chronic albums, Dre, Dre got perfect verses on those songs. You know what I'm saying? Like, I just, I don't think there's ever

going to be a time where lyrics don't matter and thought-provoking art doesn't matter. Yeah. You ever look at Griselda, right, and that crew

and how busy they get and think about... You've been on them early, too. Mm-hmm. You've been on them early. I talked about them up here. Yeah, very early. You ever think about them, the way that they construct and the about you've been on them early too you've been on them i talked about them up here yeah very early you ever think about them the way that they construct and where they come together and where they move slaughterhouse should have moved that same way back then we kind of did we kind of did but um the difference between them and us is um they're a little more

self-contained in in terms of just um they're an infrastructure. Slaughterhouse was like four different entities coming together with no real desire to be group members. You know what I mean? It was just like, we did a record together.

People really loved hearing us together. And then whenever we got together and spoke to each other and it was on camera, people really engaged and it was just camera, people really engaged this shit. Like, it was a big deal.

We didn't understand why. So we just went with it. We just kept going. You know what I mean? So as time progressed, there wasn't always, like, when we did the first album, I kind of, like, started a bunch of the songs. Crooked started a few of the songs just to get shit going. So that ended up being kind of like our sound.

So when we went in to do the Shady album, more people wanted to start songs, more chefs in the kitchen, just no real, you know what I mean? Nobody wanting to step on nobody's toes creatively, but everybody wanting to have more input. That, to me, was like, it was a little bit tough. You know what I'm saying? Because, you know, that changes things a little bit.

Whereas with those guys, they kind of already have everything in place, what they're doing. You know what I mean? They move a little bit more like a unit. You know what I mean? Like it was already understood before they came into the game. And they're from the same place.

Yeah, and they're all family. They're all family. They sound like they're rapping for their lives. Yeah, and we met each other. Me, Joe, Crook, Joel, we met each other, me, Joe, Crook, Joel, we met each other in Slaughterhouse. I didn't know any of those guys prior to, I was fans of them, but I didn't know them, you know

what I'm saying? So, that's another thing. And, um, I mean, you know, s***. You got this hard bar on the album, man, where you rapping about white people saying the N-word, and you was like, Pookie can say it in front of Seinfeld, butookie can say it in front of Seinfeld but wouldn't say it in front of DL

but something on the DL. What the f*** was that, man? I said, Bill Maher uses the term, he uses the term n***a so loosely because he knows that he be using it on the DL. But Louis C.K. know he can use it in front of Pookie but know damn well that he wouldn't use it in front of DL, but Louis C.K. know he can use it in front of Pookie, but know damn well that he

wouldn't use it in front of DL. I know what made you write it, but what was your mindset when you come up with something like that? I think to myself, when you're a white person and you have a platform, you have a certain social responsibility. You know what I mean?

Sometimes it seems like certain guys with platforms, they try you. They push the boundaries just to see how far you'll let them go. I felt like they was kind of pushing homie a little bit. He was kind of pushing homie a little bit. So, I mean, I just felt like, you know, like that is unacceptable to me. It's unacceptable to me.

So, I mean, it's not like I'm going to be in outrage and, you know, in protest. But, you know, like, that's not cool me. So, I mean, it's not like I'm going to be in outrage and, you know, in protest. But, you know, like, that's not cool. You know what I mean? Like, not only is it racist, but it's disrespectful. You know, respect, you know, that's where I draw the line at, you know, when it comes to disrespect. So, you know, but I wasn't, like, mad at him or nothing like that. But, you know.

I mean, I just like the line because I was like, yeah, he wouldn't say that in front of Dia. Yeah. You expect more out of a guy like Bill Maher, you know what I'm saying? Because I was a fan of him, you know what I mean? Obviously, you know, he's intelligent, you know what I mean? He can comprehend. He's aware. He's aware that that's wrong.

But it's like I felt like he was just – I like how Cube handled it, though. I like when Cube went on the show and just kind of put everything in perspective. I was cool with it after that. All right, well, don't move. We got more with Royster59 when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. O-D-J-N-V, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Royster59. Charlamagne? I want to go up to Eminem for a second because on the album, you say you was Em, didn't respond to everything. Yeah, not everything. You know what I mean?

Like, I just, sometimes I feel like it's a distraction more so than it is just healthy, healthy rapping. So Nick Cannon, you shouldn't respond to Nick Cannon. Well, the thing with Nick Cannon is the second that I seen that Nick Cannon seemed really, really offended, to me that's when it should stop. You know what I mean? Because I know there's no malice coming from Marshall's end. You know what I mean?

There's nothing personal coming from his end. So the second he starts to look super offended like that, I feel like either they should talk or everything should just stop. You know what I mean? And I, you know,

like, it may run it around trying to just disrespect people's wives and shit like that, but it's not really that type of thing. I think the line

on the Fat Joe record came from just Nick running around talking about, you know, like he was going to come to Detroit and beat up Marshall and all of that. I think Marshall just got tired of him doing that. So he sent him a line on some hip-hop shit.

But I think Nick took it way more personal than he was taking shit before. He's a little older now. You know what I mean? Perspective changes. He's more grown now. So, you know, it's just once that happens and people look genuinely offended, it stops

feeling like a fun situation to me. You know what I mean? It stops feeling like you know, just competitive hip-hop. It starts to seem personal. I felt like that when Nick did the joint with Eminem. Eminem was, I guess, calling black women bitches and using the N-word. I was like eh. It's kind of a reach to say I'm a racist, I guess, calling black women bitches and using the N-word. I was like, eh.

It's kind of a reach to say I'm a racist, I would think. I mean, it's, it's, bro. It's, it's, it looks bad. It looks bad when you're, like, when you look like you're trying to, like, ruin somebody. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? Like, it does something to your credibility. And I wish Nick wouldn't put himself in that position. Because, you know, like, bro, we all who we were.

We all who we were who we was before we got here. You know what I mean? Like, if that's what Marshall was, it would have shown by now, bro. You know what I'm saying? Like, my credibility is everything to me. My integrity means everything to me. I'm not standing next to nothing that I'm not sure about. You know what I'm saying?

I've never done anything for anybody to question my credibility. So if I'm standing by it, it's for a reason. Brother, you know what I'm saying? I'm not standing by no shit that's disruptive to my people. Nothing is more important than that to me. No relationship. No relationship that I have.

So if I'm still standing next to this man, it's because I feel confident in that You know what I'm saying And why do you want to throw around Yellow Wolf Why do you want to drag him around You think I dragged him around Just a little bit, a little shot, one two shot Yeah I mean you know

He just did something disrespectful You know I told myself that I wasn't going to allow What he did to Change my character or have me doing anything you know like that's not indicative of who I genuinely am so that's why I'm not airing it out you know I can tell you off camera I can tell you off camera but um you know he did something that I took I took a disrespect to there was a window of time that he had to reach out and kind of clarify and he didn't you know um i feel like

that that spoke in abundance to me and um i mean i i felt like mentioning it on the song was the only way that i can deal with it i'm certainly not gonna do nothing that's gonna have me looking like i'm trying to like go on a campaign and like ruin somebody or uh promote negativity in any kind of way or you know what I'm saying, or, you know, just trying to use something to roll the album out or something like that. Like, I'm just not cut like that. You know what I'm saying?

Is he just like a disgruntled, shady artist who's mad that you and him still? No, no, no. It's not like that. It's not like that. It was something that he did that was disrespectful. I'll leave it at that. Why are we protecting the white man? I'm not protecting anybody, bro.

He's not safe. I'm just saying I'm not airing it out. What's going on in Detroit right now? Recently, Slick B was killed. There's been a couple of shootings in Detroit. Is it getting worse? And why is the city getting worse if that is the reason? I don't know, bro.

I don't know. I don't think that that's a question that anybody can answer. You know what I mean? We go up and down. We go up and down. We had our bad days. We've been having our good days. But every now and then, man,

somebody just kind of disrupts what we're trying to build. You know what I mean? And those kind of people, man, unfortunately, they come with it. You know what I mean? Like, you know, those kind of people, man, it's unfortunately they come with it. You know what I mean? You got the good ones, you got the bad ones. All we can do

is just keep taking steps, man. Keep taking steps in a positive direction. I'm not sure if these guys knew how important homey was, but yo, man, it hurts, you know,

because it's like it's an L for the city. It's an L for all of us. You know, Nipsey getting killed is an L for hip hop. It's an L for all of us. Kobe dying, it's an L for the city. It's an L for all of us. You know, Nipsey getting killed is an L for hip-hop. It's an L for all of us. Kobe dying is an L for everybody. You know what I mean?

And it's just unfortunate. You expressed concern for Tee Grizzley on the album. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think Tee Grizzley, and I respect Tee Grizzley. Nothing but respect. Nothing but love and respect. I support him. But I feel like a lot of the young guys, they lack the information.

They need information. And I'm one of the people who I have some of that information. You know what I'm saying? So they need to know that they can reach out to me anytime. I'm available anytime. I'll make time. I'll make time to make sure that I can give you the information that you need, whatever that is. Anything, it's okay to tell

somebody, let me get back to you on that. Let me go ask one of the OGs. That's my job. That's my job. You know what I mean? Like, I feel like I have an obligation to do that. And the youngins don't always, they don't always take us up on that offer. You know what I mean? And Marshall

is the same way. He's the same way. And I think that they assume that because he's on the level that he's on, that he's just automatically tapped out all the time. I'm sure it's hard to get Marshall's number. I'm sure they just can't. Well, no, you're not just calling him,

but you don't need to call him. You don't need to call him, but don't think that he's so far away that he's not willing to pull up and do something that he needs to do in order to move the city forward. That's always been a thing of ours. It's always going to be, you know, we're not

always on top of it 100%, but yo, we're not perfect either. It's okay to nudge us. Pull up my coattail. Hit me anytime. Hit me anytime and wake me up if you feel like I'm not doing something I need to be doing. You know what I'm saying? But the reason why I say that is because he took a shot at him on a record. Grizzly.

Grizzly. Now, prior to him doing that, Marshall approached me about T. Grizzly. And he was like, yo, do you think I should jump on a record with him? Do you think I should put him on a record? I said, yes, but I think you should wait just a little bit until he gets maybe one more of those records. Just so they don't give you the credit for him taking off. I want him to have all of his credit.

You know what I'm saying? I want that to be him. You know what I'm saying? So he was like, you're right, all right, so we'll just wait. So we were just sitting back watching him. And then he came out with the diss. And then Marshall called me like, what the f***? You know what I'm saying?

He was like, he just burned the bridge and he ain't even know yet. You know what I mean? And I hate to see people, I hate to see the youngins make those kind of decisions. Not that they can't be repaired, that it's no beef or nothing like that, but I'd rather it be unity first. I need for these guys to put it into their minds and unity first. Because that s*** that he did, that's the same type of s*** I used to do. You know what I'm saying? Let's play a joint off the album.

What you want to hear? We should play Tricked. Tricked featuring my brother Crooked Eye. Crooked Eye. Yeah. Okay. All right, well, let's get into that and we appreciate you for joining us.

Thank y'all brothers for having me, man. Thank you for making some adult contemporary hip hop, man. Some age-appropriate hip hop. It's on and approved. With a 40 and up crowd. All right. Thank you. Thank you.

It's the Breakfast Club. It's Royster 5'9". Royster 5'9". Drop on a Clues Bomb for Royster 5'9". Allegory in stores right now. Mm-hmm. Adult contemporary hip-hop. And I like the skits on the album, too.

Yeah, we talked about the skits. The skits were really, really dope. Really educational. All right. We thought the skits were actually him, but it wasn't. It was, who did he say? Derrick Grace. Derrick Grace.

Yeah. But anyway, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Jussie Smollett. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Well, Jesse Smollett, we told you he had a court hearing in Chicago Monday and this is all over that

what they're saying is an alleged hate crime attack. He's still saying that it did happen. He said he is innocent and it's fight or die at this point. Okay, Jesse. What? You don't believe him? No.

He said the truth is the best defense and the truth which they know nothing about. So that's what he feels like is going to set him free. He's out right now on $20,000 bond. He has pled not guilty again. And the team, his legal team has filed a motion for the case to be dismissed over double jeopardy. So let me ask a question. He's on a $20,000 bond, but if you'd have paid the $10,000 restitution, it'd be over? It'd be fine.

Let it go, King. I think it was like a $100,000 restitution. How much was it? Yeah, it wasn't $10,000. How much was the restitution? I don't remember, but it was definitely more than that. Let it go, King. Couldn't have been more than that bond and the lawyers he got to pay now.

If you just paid to get it, it would have more than that. Let it go, King. Couldn't have been more than that bond and the lawyers he got to pay now. He just paid to get it. It would have been a misdemeanor. It would have been over. Well, if he gets convicted, he'll face up to three years behind bars and a fine of up to $25,000 and community service as well. So, whew. But he says he didn't do it. Oh, please. So does Bill Cosby.

All right. Now, Snoop Dogg's Red Table Talk. You know, we've been talking about this. It finally came out yesterday on Facebook Watch. And some of the things that he discusses is how he feels like he did abuse his power when he went against Gayle King. How did it make you feel when you saw what was happening in regards to your words, when you saw how people people reacted it made me feel like i had too much power and and at that particular time i was abusing it all right in addition to that he did say that he did reach out to gill he wants to have a private conversation have you talked to gill no

but i've reached out through her friends through her her associates, and I even DM'd her, sending her a prayer, letting her know I apologized to her. Just doing all of the things that I could do to just put my effort forward. You know what I'm saying? Because I was wrong. I said, I'd love to meet with you privately. That was my last That was my last

line. Just to make sure that it wasn't going to be watered down and diluted where I can actually give her a hug, look in her eyes eyes and talk to her like we're talking. Yeah. I watched this whole 33-minute video, and I don't think they dug deep enough into the combo. Like when Jada, you know, was saying how Tupac tried to explain to her the difference between, you know, calling women bitches and hoes and queens, and she said it didn't make no sense. Like I would have liked to see them go deeper into that combo.

All right, in addition to that, he also talked about who he seeks counsel from when he's going through things. Who do you seek counsel from? In the beginning, I used to seek counsel from Charlie Wilson from the Gab Band. Wow, okay. Charlie Wilson helped keep my marriage together because there was times where I felt like I don't want to be in here no more. I want to go and being stupid.

And Charlie would bring me back to reality. Like, that's the best thing that ever happened to you. The music don't mean nothing. And you guys have been married for a really, really long time, right? Please believe it, 24. 24 years. And if you guys recall, Charlie Wilson was just on The Breakfast Club recently. And here's what Charlie Wilson said about Snoop.

I made him stop smoking for a year. I took him into his own kitchen and had a conversation with him that he didn't like. And then he just sat there and just said, with them frowns a little bit, I said, you got to stop, man. You got to stop. He said, for real? I was like, hey, man, you got a wife in there and you got them little ones in there. You got to stop.

And so he's like, OK. So I went home and a week later, I talked to his wife and she said, Uncle Charlie, there, you got to stop. And so he's like, okay. So I went home, and a week later, I talked to Sean, his wife, and she said, Uncle Charlie, what you say to Snoop? I said, why? He ain't smoked nothing since you left. As a matter of fact, he's throwing everything out. And he lasted about a year. You know, I also didn't like how they made the conversation

all about Snoop and what he said. Which made? Because, like, the Gayle interview was the cause, right? Snoop was the effect. Like they didn't talk about the cause at all. I would like to have heard from Jada and her mom and Willow because they're in the media space now. I would like to have known what their thoughts were on Gayle's comments because the same

way people felt like Snoop wasn't protecting a black woman, black men felt like Gayle, a black woman, wasn't protecting a black man. I feel like that could have been a larger conversation. Right. And I think it's really just all how you communicate how you feel. And the words that you have been a larger conversation. Right. And I think it's really just all how you communicate how you feel. And the words that you use, because words do matter. So you can say Gail is wrong and still feel that way

to this day. Absolutely. But you don't have to call her a dog-faced bitch. Yeah. But Snoop felt like he was protecting Vanessa and those girls. People felt like Gail wasn't protecting Kobe's legacy. People feel like Snoop was threatening Gail so black women are protected. And I just see a lack of cultural trust all across the board from everyone.

And that's what we need more of. Gayle did a whole long interview where she said all positive things, and that was the one thing. That hurt. But I do feel like I can understand people being upset. It's just how do you express that? Especially if you don't want people calling black women bitches, you can't do it either. It's the one thing that hurts. That hurts Snoop.

And for every action is a reaction. I don't know how close Snoop was with Kobe or what their relationship was, but he was hurt by it and he was defending his friend, he thought. You can defend without using those words. We just need more cultural trust. Can't tell people how to defend and how to feel. You definitely can't. Well, he's apologized, so he feels like he was wrong and he said it.

And that's great. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. I just think we need more cultural trust. Like, how do we make all of us feel protected in this space? Because the same way black women feel like they're the most disrespected, you know, black men have the historical trauma of false rape accusations and always being made to be the poster child of everything that's wrong with the world. So how do we just have more cultural trust amongst each other?

Yeah, but even if it was a four-hour interview, I think that line of questioning, even if it was only 60 seconds, was wrong. I mean, there's documentaries on Kobe where that's brought up. Did we go hard at whoever made the documentary? He wasn't dead and the man wasn't even in the ground yet. The family was still grieving. It was less than a week. But I will say that people were going at Jada after this interview and talking

crazy about her as well. I don't think they watched the whole thing, though. I think they got that off that 60 second clip. Because if you watched the whole 33 minute interview, you know, I didn't want them to go deeper, but it wasn't. They were going in on Jada and calling her all kind of names. That's because of that snippet. But anyway, Charlamagne. Yes. Who I didn't want them to go deeper, but it wasn't. They were going in on Jada and calling her all kind of names. That's because of that snippet. But anyway, Charlamagne. Yes. Who you giving that donkey to?

Let's talk emotional baggage, shall we? This emotional baggage sadly comes from the great state of Florida. Florida, I promise you, I do not come in here every day and say I'm going to give donkey of the day to somebody from Florida. But these stories just stand out. Florida's just different, bro. We'll talk about it for after the hour. Are we gonna play

a game? Guess what race it is? Yes, we have to play guess what race it is. Okay, alright. We'll do that when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida, man. Florida, man. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you

are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason. It gave him too much money. A Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife. Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo. It's a breakfast club, bitchy. Donkey of the day with Charlemagne the guy.

I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this. Listen, donkey of the day for Thursday, February 27th. Go to a 42-year-old woman in Florida named Sarah Boone. I am sorry, Florida. I love the Sunshine State. I really do, but when I come in here in the morning, I go through my list of things and I read certain stories. Nothing screams

give people the credit they deserve for being stupid more than anything from Florida. What does your Uncle Charlo always tell you? Everyone listening, repeat after me. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. There's absolutely no debating that. Now, Sarah Boone and her boyfriend,

Jose Torres Jr. are at the house drinking, having a grand old time, and they decided to make it a game night. Now, I'm a grown-ass man. Game night for me is heads up. The black version. Regular version is cool, too. We can also get into some little rhyme antics. That it a game night. Now I'm a grown ass man. Game night for me is heads up. The black version. Regular version is cool too. We can also get into some little rhyme antics. That's a great game for a game night.

But nothing beats a game of spades. What do you do on game night, Envy? We do Monopoly. Okay. If it's with the kids, Hungry Hungry Hippo. Okay. You know, we do spades. Okay.

Yeah. What do you do on game night, Yee? What's that word game that you do where you put the... And they have to guess what movie it is. That's Heads Up. Heads Up. Yeah. What do you do on game night, Yee? What's that word game that you do where you put the, and they have to guess what movie it is? That's Heads Up. Heads Up. Yeah. That's what we do on game night because we grown, okay? But Sarah and Jose from Florida, they move a little different.

On their drunken game nights, they decided to play a game of hide and go seek. Now, once again, Sarah Boone is 42. Jose Torres is 42. And they decided to play hide-and-seek. The only time I play hide-and-seek is with my kids. And it's not like I really hide, because when you're a parent, your job is really to seek. Correct.

Okay, you let the kids hide, and you go find them, you know. Now, last time I checked, if you're playing hide-and-seek with someone, you don't help them hide, because that defeats the whole purpose of the game. Am I right? Well, this is what happened here. Sarah helped Jose hide during this game of hide-and-seek in Florida,

and this is what occurred. Let's go to ABC News for the report, please. The deputy walking Sarah Boone as she's handcuffed. Now she's waking up in jail facing a second-degree murder charge after her boyfriend was found dead inside a suitcase. Investigator Say Boone and her 42-year-old boyfriend, Jorge Torres Jr., were drinking and playing hide-and-seek in their apartment. She then told detectives they thought it would be funny if he hopped inside the suitcase. At some point after the suitcase was zipped,

Boone told investigators she fell asleep upstairs for a few hours. That entire time, her boyfriend was trapped inside. Once deputies showed up, she gave them permission to look at her phone. On it, they found two videos. In one, you hear the victim calling Boone's name over and over again, saying he can't breathe. Deputies say Boone responded by saying, quote, that's what you do when you choke me. Investigators say in another video, you hear Boone saying, quote, that's how I feel when you cheat on me. I have so many questions. First of all, as I said, it's not a game of hide and seek if you helped him get into the suitcase.

That's not how hide and seek works. All right? Second, I need to see Jorge or I need to see this suitcase because either this suitcase was huge or Jorge was the size of Chelsea Handler's old sidekick, Chewy. Third, if Sarah doesn't go to prison for the rest of her life, hell, even in prison, how is she going to be able to move on to a new relationship?

Many people out there right now are dealing with people who have bought baggage into their new relationship. This right here, this right here. After we're done, I want you to look at her mugshot. Go look at her mugshot because we got to play a game of guess what race it is. But look at her mugshot. If relationship baggage was a person, it would

look like Sarah Boone. How will Sarah ever be able to let go of relationship baggage when her last boyfriend is dead because she decided to back up their relationship? I have heard of people in relationships being hurt because of the emotional baggage of their partner. But what happens when you make your partner emotional baggage literally? Sarah is going to have to carry the baggage of making her boyfriend baggage for the rest of her life. Now, she's been charged for second degree murder. And she does not yet have an attorney or a court date. And she has to carry around the responsibility of finding an attorney soon.

Please give Sarah Boone the biggest E.R. So let me get this straight. She put her boyfriend in a luggage and zipped him up and locked it? Yeah. What kind of luggage?

And then he was saying he couldn't breathe. What kind of luggage is that airtight? And then she went to sleep. See, I get, I'm going to be honest with you. I've been giving these donkeys

of the day to Florida and as I'm doing it, I get confused. Like, as I'm doing it, I'm going to be honest with you. I've been giving these donkeys of the day to Florida, and as I'm doing it, I get confused. Like, as I'm doing it, I start thinking to myself, this really does make no sense. But guess what? Now it's time to play a game of Guess What Race It Is! Now, here are your

clues. Sarah Boone from Florida playing a game of hide-and-go-seek with her boyfriend, but helped her boyfriend hide in the suitcase. While he was in there, trapped, couldn't breathe, she said to him, hey, that's how it feels when you choke me. That's how I feel when you cheat on me. Envy?

Yes. What? Race she is! Now, black people all the time be like, put me in the luggage. I go on vacation with you. All the time they say that, but they joking. No. What black people do that, boy?

All the time. They be like, I'm coming with you. All the time what? That must be in the Casey household. Oh, maybe just mine. No, people say that. That's a shame. Oh, can you fit me in your luggage?

Can you fit me in your luggage? All the time. People always say that. They don't like it, but they just joking. Black people are not getting in nobody's luggage. You're not going to zip me up and put a lock on it. It's not going to happen. We're not playing hide and go seek like that. What the hell are black people asking to jump in the luggage for? It's a joke. zip me up and put a lock on it. It's not going to happen. We're not playing hide-and-go-seek like that.

What the hell are black people asking to jump in the luggage for? It's a joke. Take me on a trip with you. Can I fit in your luggage? I've heard that, but I ain't never had nobody ask to jump in my luggage. That's what we just said. Take me with you. I'm going to jump in your luggage.

You never heard that? No. But anyway, I don't think it's a black. I think it's a white person. Angelique Saraboon from Florida playing a game of hide and go seek. Helps their boyfriend hide in the luggage while he's in there not being able to breathe. Says to him, that's how I feel when you choke me. That's how I feel when you cheat on me.

Guess what race she is. I have to say I'm ineligible for this one because I did see this story already. So I don't want to cheat. So I'm going to just say that I'm ineligible. Dramas, what do you think? You want in on this? I know you do. His name is Jorge. You feel passionate about this one. I don't want to say it's a Latin woman. I'm going to say

it is a Caribbean woman. I'm going to say it's a woman from the Caribbean. I'm going to go like a Haitian woman. What? Wow. First of all, that wasn't Haitian. That was Jamaican. You disrespectful-ass Puerto Rican. You disrespectful-ass Puerto Rican. How are you talking about Caribbean women like that?

They would never. Caribbean women are spiteful. Goodness. Wow. In my experience, very Caribbean women. First of all, you have no experience with Caribbean women because you don't know the difference between Haitians and Jamaicans. What do you mean?

This whole thing just feels really disrespectful. Disrespect pajamas. I stood up for you about the Super Bowl. This bum bar was developed before I got on the show. What is a bum bar? Is a bum bar a racial slur for a Caribbean? Is that a racial slur for a Jamaican? A lack of representation on this button bar right here over here with the sound effects.

You could have said sac passe or something, but you just straight. Like they're all Caribbean people the same. Dramos. Anyway. Can we move on, please? Anyway. Damn. DJ Dramos is wrong.

Look, okay, so I love to get up there and talk to y'all. I prayed about getting in the airwaves like two, three years ago, and I wrote letters to people imaginarily. Okay, so what's your question for Aski, Sherry? Okay, well, this is serious now.

Okay, I went and bought a card so I could get more internet, so I could do more stuff like TikTok and promote myself. Congratulations, serious now. Okay, I went and bought a card so I could get more internet, so I could do more stuff like TikTok and, you know, promote myself. Congratulations, Sherry. Are y'all listening now? Listen now. Okay, we're listening. Okay, I calmed down now. I calmed down.

Okay, well, in my sleep, I was masturbating, and I was trying to figure out why I was on a d*** two times, right? What's that smell? Boy, don't play with me. I don't stink. Look, so you playing with me, Charlamagne? No, you playing with yourself. Don't get distracted.

I ain't playing you don't mind. This is serious. Okay, this is about people, child porn and stuff. Well, that popped up on my thing, and I did a little bit of North Star in Thomas Nelson. But I kept trying to delete it, and I tried to report it, but it wouldn't allow me. Now the thing is, under three different people's names, the person that I friend is out of town. They're way over in Israel somewhere.

And then two other names, I don't know. But the guy I just met, he told me that he was looking for a wife and this and that. I don't know. I don't know if the Lord sent him, looking for a wife and this and that. I don't know. I don't know if the Lord sent him. But I'm still in there anyway sometimes because, I don't know, people just come my way and beat my ass. But I tried to report it to the police. I ain't been able to go to sleep because I ain't trying to get in the damn trouble. They won't give me, like, my suggestion.

Okay, so, Sherry, question. So, your problem is that there is child pornography popping up on your phone? Yeah. And then it had my story. Not my story like me promoting my music and putting on my hair doing and all that stuff and mentoring and stuff. I looked on that thing and my thing where I'm trying to build my little stories and stuff in mine. And it's got me in there masturbating. I'm asleep.

Who the hell is she mentoring? So wait, wait, wait, wait. You're on your stories on Instagram masturbating? Yeah, this is the third time I was asleep. Who the hell is she mentoring? So wait, wait, wait, wait. You're on your stories on Instagram masturbating? Yeah, this is the third time I'm dating. I've been doing stuff in my sleep. I even, I talk in my sleep. I know premonition and stuff. So I've been doing this since I was little.

I don't know why I'm doing this to myself. What's your Instagram, Sherri? You want to go look at Sherri masturbating? I don't want to see what she look like. Covered by the blood. Covered by the blood is your Instagram? Why is that your Instagram? Yeah. Is she covered by the blood. Covered by the blood is your Instagram? Why is that your Instagram? Yeah.

It's covered by the blood of Jesus. Yeah, because of Jesus. Okay. Yeah, because I ain't fake. But so somebody's trying to make me look stupid or something. Because I know everything that I've done, I've always wrote letters to God ever since I was little. Even when I was locked up in prison. I mean, not prison, because God didn't take me there.

Because he knew that that was a playground. He made me do a hard time in jail. 17 months right here in Hampton City Jail. I ain't doing back. This Tupac guy, 1996. You have no post. Is this your thing? Is your last name Robinson?

I went to school with her. Sharon Robinson. She was on the street. I was the street girl. I was the street girl. Sharon Robinson, she played basketball. I once played basketball, but I sang in a choir. I sang, you know.

All right, Sherry. So did you take down the videos of yourself masturbating on your Instagram stories? Yeah, somebody trying to get me. The guy, he said, send him another stream call. And he's like, I really like you. I really like you. I'm like, I think because he's looking through my eyes, and I think he's trying to get the kids popular up there,

or either somebody playing with kids. You know what? I'm going to bathroom. I think because she's looking through my eyes, and I think he's trying to get the kids popular up there, or either somebody playing with kids. You know what? I'm going to the bathroom. The Lord shows me stuff, y'all. Okay. The Lord ain't telling you to hang this goddamn phone up. All right.

All right, Sherry. All right, Sherry, you have a good day. At least I calmed down. You did calm down. Sherry, Sherry. And, Sherry, make sure you have a password on your phone, okay? That way people can start breaking into your phone and posting. She's lying. She doesn't know what's going on.

Listen, the guy that set my internet up, he was pretty nice yesterday. His name was Charlie. He said he got a wife. I was hoping he'd take my little code and when you were masturbating, they would put it in there. I don't know. Sherry. Sherry lost me when she said that she was masturbating all night, but she had trouble sleeping.

Sherry, you have a problem sleeping after you masturbate. You ain't masturbating, right? Sherry. You don't look... No, you're a damn liar. I fell right to sleep. My phone was still on. All right, Sherry.

You have a good morning, all right? I'm trying to tell you my phone was still on because I didn't turn my camera off. Okay. I've been doing it a lot of times. All right, Sherry. I love you, Sherry. I love you. I hope Sherry has some real help.

Sherry might be the truth. I hope Sherry has some real help. Sherry might be the truth. I hope Sherry has some help. Sherry got more sense than everybody in this room. Ask Yee. She just don't communicate it correctly. 585-1051. If you need relationship advice, call me. She's got God in her life.

You're right. I respect Sherry. 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? Ariana. Hey, Ariana Grande. Good morning. Oh, thank you. Hey, DJ Envy.

What's up, Charlamagne? What's up, Yee? Peace, queen. How are you? I know she is so tired of hearing that Ariana Grande joke. No, actually, I'm not because it has to be spelled my name better. Man, there you go. So what's your question, Ariana, for Yee?

Okay, Yee, so I've been knowing this guy since I was 19. I'm 29 now. And we were together from the ages of 19 until about 22. And then he went to prison for seven years. I moved on with my life, went to the military, got married, got divorced. And we were back in contact about five years ago. We tried to get back together, but I didn't think he was really serious because I didn't think that, you know, with his felony, he would be able to give me the life that I wanted. So I kind of didn't take him seriously. Well, slap in my face

because now this man is doing amazing. And he kind of was looking at me like, well, you kind of played with me the first time. You didn't think I was serious. And now you want to come around and be all in my face. But I know it's more than that because he still loves me. He encourages me to do better in life. Always tells me no matter what that we're going to be together. He just wants me to be at a certain point in life.

So my question to you is, should I take him seriously and continue to focus on me with him in the back of my mind or just stay together? Girl, first of all, you need to take you seriously and focus on you regardless, no matter what, if you're with a man, if you're not with a man, if you want to be with a man, you should be always striving to do the best that you can do, right?

Right. So I think that's great advice. But I also feel like, just like you weren't taking him seriously before, he's not taking you seriously right now, right? Right. So I think that's great advice. But I also feel like just like you weren't taking him seriously before, he's not taking you seriously right now, right? Right. And does he have other things going on? He's dating other women, I would assume, because he's not with you.

I don't know because he's so secretive. He tells me I'm being nosy if I ask him that. Right. So clearly you know what that means. He is. He just doesn't want to tell you and discuss it with you. So he's probably having a good time doing whatever he's doing. He might even have a girlfriend. Who knows? And to me, it's like

y'all are just friends. That's it. If a man really wants to be with you, none of that other stuff matters. If he wants to, you know, all of that that he's saying, oh, you're not ready now. Focus on you. Da da da da da. That's just all BS. Yeah, you're right. You're Focus on you. Da-da-da-da-da. That's just all BS. Yeah, you right. You sure right, Angela. Thank you, girl. All right. No problem, Ariana.

And Charlamagne, you still follow me. I really appreciate that. I wish you would interact with me more on Instagram. You know, I'd be sending you messages, but you don't interact. Okay. Ain't no okay. That's all he got for you. He doesn't seem as interested either.

Y'all are silly. I love y'all so much. Keep up the good work. Y'all inspire me for my own podcast. This is Bigfoot Ari Charmaine. Check me out. Okay. Evan, you know my hair promoting that? Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, you can hit Yee anytime. Now, we got rumors on the way? Yes, and I'm going to tell you who just

got scammed out of $400,000 almost. Alright, we'll get into that next. Keep just got scammed out of $400,000 almost. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk who got scammed. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. With Angela Yee

on The Breakfast Club. Alright, so Shark Tank's Barbara Corcoran. She got scammed out of almost $400,000. Somebody sent a fake email to her company, to her bookkeeper, the assistant to her bookkeeper, the assistant to her bookkeeper. And it was an invoice of $388,700 for a real estate renovation.

She said there was no reason to be suspicious because she invests in a lot of real estate. Of course, we know Corcoran. And she said the error wasn't noticed until the bookkeeper sent a follow-up to Barbara Corcoran's assistant's actual address, confirming that she had just sent the money over and that's when they realized they had wired the money to a scammer. So it was too late. It was gone from the account. The scammer disappeared and

she said she was told it's a common practice and she won't be getting her money back. Sam, it seems like she should have a business put together better than that. I mean, I own a bunch of properties too, but I got people that look at everything. Don't you think her business would be better when she has different people

looking at her different real estate? Well, she does. So it was a phishing account. So you know how people send a fake email, but it looks like your email address. And obviously Barbara Corcoran has like, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars worth of real estate.

So to her, to the bookkeeper, that was, seemed legitimate. Why would you send that money without going through your lawyer, your real estate. So to her, to the bookkeeper, that seemed illegitimate. Why would you send that money without going through your lawyer, your real estate lawyer? Why wouldn't, I don't get it. That's what I'm saying. For Barbara Corcoran, no, that's not a lot of money. I don't care who it is. If I see a realtor and I'm

buying a property from a realtor, first thing I do is go to my real estate attorney. So to my guy, Jay Claypool. That's the first thing I do. Barbara Corcoran probably has like, you know, she Barbara Corcoran probably has like, you know, she has Corcoran real estate. Then she has her own properties that she's. What they got to do with your team,

protecting you from them. Barbara Corcoran said she didn't think there was a reason to be suspicious because you know what it is, is they had an email address that looks like the right email address. That's what they do when they fish people. And I've seen people get scammed, not for that much money, obviously, but they said it's a really

common thing. So it was just too late. And it was like a checks and balances thing because then the bookkeeper did send the information over, but by that time it was too late. So that's what happened. That's a lot of money. But she said she was upset, but then she thought to herself, you know what? It's only money. No reason

for me to get that mad. Alright, now let's talk about Oprah and Gayle King. They were on with Ashley Graham for the latest episode of the OG Chronicles and they played a game of never have I ever. So they both said that they had never played before. But here's what happened when it came to one night stands. Never have I ever had a one night stand. We both better put our fingers down. We both better put our fingers down on that one. What year was it?

Mine would have been 82, something like that. It would be 82. Okay, same year. You guys were little pussies. Alright, I would love to hear the circumstances of how all of that happened.

No, you wouldn't. I would. I would. If a man was to come out right now and say I was the person that they had a one-night stand with, we'd be so mad at that guy. I didn't say for them to name a name. No, what if the guy comes out, though? I don't know. That was me. I hit in the 90s. Well, Oprah couldn't follow up, but Gil could.

Maybe, you know, he looks cute now. All right, now Nick Cannon, he says that he did try to shoot a shot with Tamron Hall at one point. And he said, this is what happened. It was like some missed opportunity here. Nick sent me a gift. I was shooting my shot. Someone stole it. She was single.

I was single at the time. And I would have taken his shot and Nick said, did you get my gift? And I said, no. And I legit went through the Today Show like a tornado. I'm like, someone stole Nick Cannon's gift to me and it was a scarf. Yeah. I know

and I said, I wrote you back and I said, Nick thank you so much. But I still can't find it. You didn't reply. And I was like I didn't see that DM to like a year later. See, he saw the DM a year later, had no idea. She thought he just never responded. And they just passed by each other. I'm not mad at that.

I'm not mad at that. Tamron Hall is a looker. Her husband is a lucky man. Scoot to Tamron Hall. And she said she would have gave him a shot. She just, you know. Damn, Nick. All right.

And Jhene Aiko recently did an interview with Essence, and she talked about the song Triggered. Here's a snippet from that. That's her triggered freestyle. And she said Big Sean's initial reaction was, wow, I'm not your friend. And she told him, I was feeling that in the moment. This is just a song. This is not 100% about you. She said, those are the things that I may feel, and I know that they're irrational

and coming from just an angry, emotional place, but that's what's so beautiful about art, is that you can just throw paint on a blank canvas and do something crazy, and that's your release. So that's what helped her with her release, putting that out. Alright, so her new album is going to be coming out March 6th, FYI. I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report

Alright thank you Miss Yee Oh and I want to also give a shout out to Clinton Sparks DJ Clinton Sparks He actually has a book out they just sent it to me How to Wing Big in the Music Business So shout out to Clinton Sparks His forward is by Daymond John Alright now shout out to Revolt we'll see you tomorrow

Everybody else the People's Choice Mix is up next It's the Breakfast Club good morning Hey everybody it's DJ Envy Angela Yee Charlamagne Tha Guy Shout out to Revolt. We'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, it's Black History Month. What are we doing today, Charlamagne? Yes, today is the born day of one of the Central Park Five, Mr. Yusuf Salam.

And, you know, he's been immortalized at this point with the When They See Us movie, as well as just the various interviews that he's done. So we just want to celebrate him on his born day. And flashback to when he was here on The Breakfast Club and some of the uplifting, empowering things he had to say about what he's doing with his story. This is a Black History Month moment. You know, we're looking at a victim who's white, who in her privilege, like in her victimhood, there's still privilege.

You see what I'm saying? And so everything is pointed to the fact that we had nothing to do with it. But yet her doctors are saying, but your injuries are more consistent with a gang rape. Like the DNA, dioxiribonucleic acid proved that we didn't do nothing. We had nothing to do with this. You know? And so I feel like there's so much

that we still have to do. There's so many future generations that we have to affect. We got to plant seeds in their minds and in their hearts so that they understand

that they are the answers that we seek. You know what I'm saying? So we go around the country. We go around the world and we speak. We've done it as individuals. We've done it collectively. You know what I'm saying?

I started a company called Yousef Speaks. You know, I sell my merchandise, which is like my poetry book. I sell my hats. I sell shirts. I sell all kinds of things. And I'm coming out with a lot more stuff. I've created this right here. This is what I call like the freedom medal.

You know what I'm saying? The only thing that I need to change about this is, even though it says CP5, I need to change it on the bottom to exonerated five. And I want to marry those two because this is America. This is the criminal system of injustice. This is how things have been. And so we have a long way to go, but I feel like we're knocking it down. Like Corey said, we got them on the ropes because the whole globe is beginning to respond to what's going on in America. They're responding to this case, but this case

is a microcosm of the macrocosm of cases just like this. That was a Black History Month moment brought to you by The Breakfast Club. Alright, well happy birthday to that young man. Yes, indeed. Alright, when we come back, positive note, don't move, it's The Breakfast Club. All right. Well, happy birthday to that young man. Yes, indeed. All right.
