What's tomorrow? It's gonna be a snowstorm
here on the East Coast. Yeah, on the East Coast. North-East
it is saying. It's saying between, what, 10 to 15 inches?
Almost April. I heard 20.
You heard that much? That's what they say.
I heard 12 to 18, but you know, I mean, same thing.
Yeah. It's probably gonna be 20 in some
places, 12 in some places.
A lot of times snow is like penis size.
Like they over-exaggerate it until you actually see it.
And it's like, oh, it was supposed to be 20, but it's only 10.
But you still have to brace yourself.
Yes, because you never know.
Stupid.
Shout out to everybody that was in Austin, Texas.
I was out in Austin, Texas over the weekend.
South by Southwest.
Right.
This was the tech week. So it had nothing to do with music.
All about people investing money into tech.
And I had a great time.
Shout out to Gary V.
I was on a panel with Gary V. and Ja Rule.
And they were just talking about investing.
That is the oddest panel ever.
It wasn't actually.
Gary Vaynerchuk and Ja Rule?
Nah, they were just talking about tech companies.
You know, Ja Rule has a tech company called Fire.
Did you get booked through Fire? For that? No, they were just talking about tech companies. You know, Ja Rule has a tech company called Fire. Did you get booked through Fire?
For that?
No, not for that event.
But he was talking about his company, how it started, how much money he was making.
But it was a small room.
It was about maybe 60 people.
And the 60 people there were all millionaires from the ages 21 to 25.
And they were just looking for things to invest.
One lady owned a cupcake company.
She was making $3 million a year.
One other company has a company called Hooch. H-O-O-C-H.
That's liquor.
Yeah, what they do is you pay $10 a month, and you get one free drink a day from various bars around the country.
So that was dope.
Well, drop one of Clues Bombs while I'm an alcoholic out there with Hooch.
So investing, you know, a lot of young people out there making a lot of money being entrepreneurs.
And then yesterday, I went to the Knicks-Nets game.
It was Biggie night.
They actually retired Biggie's jersey.
Well, Biggie didn't have a jersey, but they retired a big jersey, number 72,
and it will stay in the rafters forever.
72 is the year he was born, right?
The year he was born.
I seen Lil' Kim was there, Faith.

Some of them are really young, like 8 to 10 to 12,
and then a little bit older.
And then I got interviewed by these twins.
They looked like they were about 8.
It was the cutest little interview ever.
But it was a good time.
I seen you holding a baby.
I thought maybe you had your secret baby out there.
Oh, no.
Actually, I hosted a birthday party for my boy, Dio,
that lives out there.
I think you did his birthday party last year also.
And that was his girl and their baby together.
Oh, I see you carrying
that baby all around.
I said, you got a little
secret baby out in San Francisco.
No, we went out to eat

I wanted to go so bad.
Why don't you leave today?
I think you should leave today.
You leave today if you're gonna go.
Yeah.
All right, I'll see what I can do.
I might try to actually do that.
But you do have a radio show to do in the morning.
I know, but then I'm nervous about being able to get
back.
Because then I'm going to have issues coming back here. Decisions,
decisions. But we'll discuss all of that
in Front Page News.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy,
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
We got to say good morning to our newest family member, Foxy 99, the Big Stick.

Drop one of Kool-Aid bombs for Fair-Nam, damn it.
The home of Mr. J. Cole.
Welcome to the Family Guys.
Yeah, salute to Fairville.
Now, let's get in front page news. Tell us about this blizzard.
Well, right now we are preparing for a major winter storm here in the northeast.
New York City, southern Connecticut, and Boston are under a blizzard.
Watch this.
No unpowerful winds expected in New York City.
There could be as many as 18 inches of snow.
Now in the Midwest, they've already been getting some snow as well.
So if you're flying out anywhere, just make sure that you pay attention. see what's going on, see if your flight is going to make it out.
See, this is why we all have to get our lives in order.
Why?
Because we all need to have what they call ISDN lines at the house.
Explain to the people what that is.
ISDN lines are when you can do your radio show from almost anywhere.
From home.
Okay, and I can do it from home.
Wake up out the bed and just do your show.
Tomorrow we're going to be trying to kill ourselves, literally, to get here to do a show for y'all.
Damn it.
Well, our job did say we could stay at a hotel.
Ain't nobody got time for that.
Right here.
Then you end up getting stuck in the city.
We got families.
We got families in Jersey.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, I got five kids.
Now let's talk about Donald Trump.
Yeah, so Donald Trump, today's the deadline for the Justice Department to show wiretap evidence.
And that's because Donald Trump was tweeting last week that President Obama,
when he had actually wiretapped his phones when he was president.
So we don't know what's going to happen.
Donald Trump has never produced any type of information to support those claims.
So right now, today is the last day for any evidence to be
turned over. So what happens if he can't
produce evidence? He should apologize.
He should retract it. Is this a get down or lay down
type of situation? Will he be punished if he
can't produce evidence? Well, they want the Justice Department to publicly
denounce that claim that Donald Trump
made against former President
Barack Obama. Will Barack Obama sue him
for defamation of character? He should. He could.
Probably not. I don't think he'll sue the president.
He definitely should.
He definitely should.
He definitely can do that.
All right.
And this story actually broke my heart.
Now, this happened about three years ago when she was 14 years old.
A 14-year-old girl was being held at a motel in Philadelphia, and she was allegedly forced
to have sex with 1,000 men over two years
when she was only 14 years old.
She was forced into sex slavery.
And right now, she's devastated.
She's in therapy.
She's 17 years old.
But she wants the hotel to pay for what happened to her.
Now, according to her lawyer, there's no way that employees could not know what was going on.
You have to be blind, deaf, and dumb not to know that over 100 men are showing up over a period of a couple of days.
That's what our attorney said. You have a cleaning crew
that comes into the room, oftentimes
finds boxes or waste cans full of used
condoms. This is about as open and
obvious as it gets. It's the motel
basically looking the other way.
Yeah, people minding their business. That's what
that was. Well, for two years, though,
a thousand men coming and going for
a 14-year-old girl in the room.
There's no way nobody thought anything was crazy.
I mean, I would call the police because the person got a hotel room there for two years.
Unless it's some type of residency or something.
Why you got a hotel room for two years?
It's probably one of those motels.
It's probably a motel.
Yeah, it is a motel.
You know, sometimes people, like, live in those.
A lot of people live in motels sometimes.
Wow.
All right.
Well, that's front page news.
Tell them why you're mad.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent, call us right now.
Again, 800-585-1051.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

In front of me now.

But the new me is like, I got a career.
If you want to be a bird, I'm all for you.
And I'm not never coming back.
And I bet you that other chick ain't got no goddamn job.
No, but her bills is probably all tacked up.
See what I'm saying?

And, you know, it's income tax.
Excuse my language, y'all.
These chicks out here got their little Uggs on.
They looking fly.
But my tax money goes on bills.

You're dead out here, Monty.
You're canceled.
Damn it, man.

Hey, I'm blessed because right now I'm in L.A., man.
I'm in room 510 of this school's hotel.
The dude next door to me in room 508 was knocking on my door, banging on my joint.
And I'm always making noise.
So I ran down on him.
And I ain't get kicked out of my hotel.
So I'm blessed right now.

I know that sound anywhere.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, but I want y'all to know that we have not let this distract us from the song.
What song?
Oh, okay.
It's my body.
Yes.
It's human body.
Oh, my gosh.
In the middle of the threesome, that's what y'all think about.
Hey, man, don't let nothing distract you from the fact that Remy Ma, Body, Nicki Minaj over
the sheet, the instrumental, hit her with another one, and she replied with a whack
ass record called No Frost.
I remember when Ray J called in.
What is going on?
That was the number two hip hop moment of all time.
Hey, somebody told me they almost, they randomly bumped into Ray J in L.A.,
like almost hit him with the car.
And they was like, oh, shoot, Ray J, we lie?
Have a good day, guys.
Wear condoms.
They're having a great time.
They love y'all.
Love you, too.
Okay.
Hey, man, they're having a good time, man.
It's Monday.
All right.
Tell them why you're blessed. 800-585-1051. Yee, we got rumors on the way. Really, son. Okay. Hey, man, they're having a good time, man. It's Monday. All right. Tell them why you're blessed.
800-585-1051.
Yee, we got rumors on the way?
Yes, Floyd Mayweather.
He says that he is out of retirement.
We'll tell you what happened.
Also, Young Dolph, we told you last week about the wild shootout that happened at CIAA.
Well, now he has a new album coming, and we'll tell you what it's called.
Okay.
We'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor Report. Rumor Report.
This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well,
Floyd Mayweather Jr. has said
that he is coming out of retirement.
I guess we all anticipated this happening, right?
Yeah, we knew this.
Didn't feel like he had retired at all.
And here's what he said.
I'm coming out of retirement just to fight Conor McGregor.
I don't want to hear no more excuses about the money, about the UFC.
Sign a paper with the UFC so you can fight me in June. You blow a
smoke up everybody's ass. If you want
to fight, sign the paperwork.
Let's do it.
I don't see the point of this fight.
Number one, I thought y'all wasn't supporting any black people
who are down with Trump. People still buy Yeezys.
Yeah, so you pick and choose.
Yeah. The boy cocked Michelle,
but you never listened to her to begin with.
She's the only one that caught it.
She's the only one?
Well, Kanye has deleted all his support for Donald Trump now.
Y'all still watch Family Feud, right?
Changed his mind.
Yeah, they still support Steve Harvey.
Dropped one of Clues Bond's to Steve Harvey, damn it.
I'm just trying to figure this out.
Well, I don't know that Steve Harvey voted for Trump.
He just said he was a good guy.
People were mad about it and met with him.
I just want to know who y'all fake outraged with this week.
That's all.
All right, now, if you remember,
Conor McGregor had said that Floyd was actually ducking him.
Here's what he had said in Vegas.
Floyd says he's down to do the fight, but you...
Floyd's a bitch.
I know that.
And he's petrified.
I understand that.
I flew to Las Vegas, and he didn't show his face.
As soon as I touched down in Las Vegas, he retired twice.
By the way, let's be clear about one thing.
Floyd Mayweather is now 40 years old.
He just had his birthday.
Conor McGregor is one of those crazy-ass UFC fighters.
If Floyd thinks that Conor is going to follow the rules, he's out of his mind.
Conor might just come out there and roundhouse kick him for no damn reason.
And then he'll lose the fight.
He'll lose the fight.
So what?
You think he cares?
Do you think Conor McGregor really cares whether or not he loses this fight?
Yes.
Because, number one, he's not even fighting his fight think Conor McGregor really cares whether or not he loses this fight? Yes. Because number one,
he's not even fighting his fight.
Conor McGregor grapples. He does everything.
He's been doing training for boxing for the last three months. Listen, always
remember Apollo when he fought the Russian. That was
an exhibition fight too. I think this is
pointless. That was fake. Alright, now
let's discuss Yara Shahidi
from Black-ish. First of all,
I think Yara Shahidi is a great example for all the young ladies out there.
And she talks about how Michelle Obama actually wrote her recommendation for college.
How exciting is that?
That's dope.
You should get in.
She told W Magazine that she assisted her in her college applications.
She said she's very amazing and such a supporter, which is something very surreal to say.
She also said wherever she ends up, she plans to double major in sociology and African-American studies.
She says, I've gotten a lot of questions about if it's scary to be on a public platform,
given the current administration and given that I'm a black Iranian.
She said, I say that to say companies that are still supporting individuality,
that are still supporting self-empowerment are so crucial.
I heard she's getting a spinoff show.
Yep.
That would be dope.
It's going to be her going off to college,
especially if the college is a black college.
We need another different world type vibe out here.
She's only 17 years old.
I actually met her when we were in Miami
and we were going to show some support for Hillary Clinton.
So a really smart young lady.
All right, Young Dolph.
He is going to be releasing an album called Bulletproof.
And that's going to address, obviously, the shooting that just happened
and whoever was responsible for that,
that shooting that took place on February 25th at CIAA weekend.
If you remember, he did an interview,
and here's what he said about the shooting.
Whatever was going on, they couldn't do it.
They couldn't.
In Memphis, it's this thing called people tricking people out the streets
get people unfocused on what they're doing that's all it is you know i'm saying like
dolph built himself up and building himself and becoming a superstar and i'll let us throw dolph
off right quick he's doing too much come on now man the city can't say they mentioned memphis
they say dolph he can't be on now he's doing too. Don't get mad at me when I'm doing my thing.
I think Young Dolph needs to be a little more specific with his album title.
Well, last week, they did say that they were close to arresting somebody,
on the verge of arresting somebody with the shooting.
Now, I don't know if you guys saw the track listing.
Did you see it for Bulletproof?
It's 10 songs.
It's supposed to come out on April Fool's Day.
And the songs are as listed.
100 Shots.
Okay.
In Charlotte.
But I'm bulletproof.
So F them.
That's not real.
That's how I feel.
That's not real.
That's not real.
It's coming out on April Fool's Day.
That's not real.
That's not real.
I would hope not.
That's not real.
That's not real.
I wouldn't even name my album Bulletproof.
I might name my album Bulletproof Truck.
Bulletproof Truck.
Because you yourself, young Dolph, are not Bulletproof.
He hit me over the weekend, checking up on me.
He was like, I'm just checking up on you.
I'm like, no, I need to check up on you.
He's like, he's good.
Didn't you call him to check on him, too?
That's not his album.
There's no way.
It's coming out April 1st, April Fool's Day.
Like, no, stop it.
You think he's making April Fool's Day jokes about getting his truck shot up?
Yes.
Look at that track list.
That track list don't even sound real.
Bulletproof in Charlotte.
Like, come on, man.
No, stop it. That's list don't even sound real. Bulletproof in Charlotte. Like, come on, man. No, stop it.
It was a true story.
All right, Kim Kardashian.
On the next week's episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians,
the premiere was on Sunday.
I didn't know that was still on.
I know.
The season premiere just came on yesterday,
and that's where Tristan Thompson was introduced to the family.
Oh, boy.
But next week, Kim Kardashian will be talking about
what went down with the Paris robbery.
Check out a preview.
They asked for money.
I said, I don't have any money.
They dragged me out to the hallway on top of the stairs.
That's when I saw the gun like clear as day.
I was kind of looking at the gun, looking down back at the stairs.
And I was like, I have a split second in my mind to make this quick decision.
Like, am I going to run down the stairs and like either be shot in the back
like it makes me so upset to think
about it but like either they're going to shoot me in the back
or if I make it and they
don't if the elevator does not
open in time or the stairs
are locked then like I'm f***ed
why would they ask for money I thought they came specifically
for a diamond they wanted everything they wanted money
diamond jewelry everything they were trying to get everything
alright well I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report.
All right.
Thank you, Ms. Yee.
Now, when we come back, Sanaa Lathan will be joining us.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got some special guests in the building.
We have Sanaa Lathan.
Hello, hello.
And Stephon James.
Is it Stephon or Stephen?
Stephon
It's Stephon
Oh, you want a fancy negro
Like Marbury, exactly
He speaks French
He speaks French?
A little bit
A little bit
Actually, I'm from Toronto
So Canada, French is the second language
We gotta do it
I thought Jamaican was the second language in Toronto
Jamaican's not a language
Jamaican's not a language
Caribbean
Patoise You got patois Whatican's not a language. Patois.
Patois.
What is it?
Patois.
Patois.
I'm sorry for Charlemagne already.
You just said he speaks Jamaican.
Jamaican?
Never mind.
They're here to talk about shots fired.
He is Jamaican.
Now let's talk about shots fired.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
No, it's not that type of shots fired.
We did actually get the opportunity to see the first episode.
Oh, you did?
Oh, cool.
I got the first five.
You did?
I saw the first two.
Okay.
Yeah.
What did y'all think of it?
I think it's really good.
It's interesting.
It shows people of color and positions of power in the justice system.
That's something you don't see too often.
So I was wondering, who did y'all research for the role?
Oh, gosh. We had so much research laid out for us i um the creators gina prince bythewood and reggie rock bythewood they're a they're married couple um gina wrote
and directed love and basketball so i had a long relationship with her but they are so they have
so much integrity and they they really are amazing writers.
I researched a woman who actually had the job of my character.
Her name was Francesca, and she was an investigator with the DOJ.
And she had many, many years in law enforcement.
She went undercover in the cartels in Mexico.
And I did mixed martial arts.
Wow.
To try to get into the mind of a fighter.
Was she a woman of color?
Yes, she was Latina.
She is Latina, yeah.
Because I would think it would be totally different
for a person of color to be in that position,
especially now in this climate.
Absolutely.
I dealt with lots of racism and sexism.
Also talked to a female cop who worked in L.A., a black woman,
who wrote a book, and she spent a lot of time with her,
and she talked about how it was so hard on the force for her as a black woman
that she was suicidal at one point.
Well, you think about how hard it is to be a black police officer,
but then it's a whole other level to be a black woman.
Yes, because you're dealing with the sexism.
You know, which is real. How hard was it
to do this part? Because, I mean, the roles
were flipped at what we usually hear. Usually, it's
a young African-American man or young
African-American boy killed. This time,
it was a white boy killed with a black cop.
And with everything going on in this
world, it seems like we put light on that,
but not on the other subject.
Well, that's not true. If you watch
the show, that is the way in.
So the show is really about
this murder that happens.
Stefan and I go down to North Carolina
to investigate the murder
of this white kid by
the black cop played by
Mack Wiles. Now, Stefan, you a cop?
I'm not a cop. You're not a cop, but they whooped your ass
in the first episode. I was like, he ain't pull his gun out of nothing.
You're a prosecutor. Are you a prosecutor? He's a prosecutor.
That's why she kept telling you stay in your place
and not her.
And he's like new, too. He's kind of a rookie.
I'm kind of agreeing, exactly. But, I mean,
go back to what you were saying. You know, when I read
the character, I really hadn't seen anybody like pressing
on television or in film, for that matter
of fact. You know, a young African-American
prosecutor tasked with something so heavy. So, for me, it was like, damn, I get to do this for the television or in film for that matter of fact you know a young african-american prosecutor
tasked with something so heavy so for me it was like damn i get to do this for the first time
like i've never seen anybody do this and i actually got to talk with eric holder who's the
you know former ag attorney general for the united states and you know he was so really
instrumental to me in like creating the whole character because you know i really wanted to
find somebody who had risen to that level of success um i think preston has um you know he he
he wants to be an eric holden one day he wants to be a barack obama one day so for me hearing about
his struggle in his journey um you know what his blackness meant through all that you know him
being conscious of his blackness and so aware of his blackness, even standing next to the president of the United States.
You know what I mean?
So for me, that was very helpful.
I think a lot of people, especially black people, were a little taken aback and a little kind of surprised that it was about a white kid getting shot.
We have so much so many black men and women getting murdered in this country.
That's not what it's about.
That's the way in. So we go to North Carolina,
and that is what we are assigned to investigate.
And in the course of investigating that,
we discover another murder that's happening
that's not being investigated.
Yes, in that turn.
Yes, and that's of a black boy.
And so it kind of tracks
how these two different murders,
a white kid and a black kid,
and how the justice system treats those cases differently.
So it's bigger than that.
Unfortunately, the first trailer that came out kind of didn't.
Yeah.
But you didn't watch the first episode, though.
No, I'm saying they made it just about.
The white guy.
Yeah, but it's not about that.
It's about.
So you get to track at the same time how this investigation is going on.
Yeah.
Perhaps how this one was covered up.
Exactly.
But one of the women even tells you that.
She goes, all these young black kids getting murdered out here by police, and this is the
one they chose.
Yes.
We've just seen the first episode, but then the trailer, I don't think it had that.
It just showed the white boy getting shot.
Well, that was the first trailer that came out.
It wasn't a good first trailer.
Yeah.
We were not happy with the first trailer.
That's intriguing, though.
I like the white boy getting shot because I feel like
it'll make people look at those cases differently.
And that is exactly why they did it
because the thing is, unfortunately,
because so many of us have been
getting murdered and are
getting murdered still, there's a little
bit of desensitivity.
You don't want people to be like, oh, again.
We're not going to do anything.
We had to make a TV show about this?
You see this all the time. Now, let me again, again. We're not going to do anything. We had to make a TV show about this? Yeah, exactly.
You see this all the time.
Right.
Now, let me ask you this.
When Mack Wiles was up here, he said that it was difficult for him at times filming.
He would look at his cop uniform, and he said one day he actually broke down, like, crying,
just watching what was happening on the news while filming this.
Yeah. Were there any things that happened while you guys were filming this where you felt like,
man, this is so heavy for me today, like, in my head.
He told me on the low he was just crying to get sympathy from you two.
He said he cried in your arms.
He just wanted a hug.
Oh, really?
He did not say that.
You did that too?
Yeah.
I was giving out hugs.
Wait, so, yeah, you can...
Well, you know what?
To me personally, you know, I find it hard
because being a prosecutor in this show,
having to sit across from Mack Wiles and prosecute him, you know, as a black man, you know, that was something I also had to be conscious about.
You know what I mean?
I talked to Eric Holder about, you know, what would that mean?
You know, having to really, you know, they only brought me into this case because I was black and they felt like, you know, in this climate, that's the only way it could really get done.
This guy could get prosecuted was if a black lawyer came in and did it there were days where um we i think the month of july which was one of the months we were shooting there were
like a record number of murders by police and there were there was one day that we came to set
and literally had to do a prayer circle before we started shooting because we were just all stunned
and destroyed from yet another
was it Philando? I think it was Philando.
It was Philando, like the night before and it was all
over the news and here we are working on this subject.
So it was
really intense at times
and then it also gave another
level to the work of like, okay
we gotta really do this right.
It's important for
the time that we're living in right now.
All right, we got more with Sanaa Lathan and Stephon James.
Don't go anywhere.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have Sanaa Lathan and Stephon James in the building.
Charlamagne?
Does it make you look at cases different?
Like, do you feel like, because Maguire said he understood police a little bit more
and what they go through.
I would think so.
I mean, you know, this show really gives the audience a perspective
from so many different seats in the house.
You know what I mean?
You really get to see it from so many different angles and perspectives.
And, you know, Maybe you don't necessarily agree
with an angle or perspective, but
you can understand it.
You can appreciate why somebody
would feel a certain type of way.
I don't think that this story really plays
to one side. It really offers
a broad look into it
from all sorts of different perspectives.
What about for you, Samet?
The goal, I think, is to
create
compassion and empathy.
I mean, that's what we need right now.
There's so much division and so much,
you know, I mean, with this new administration,
there's so much
like
just vitriol and hatred right now.
And you know what? It's been there. It's been under the surface. It's coming and hatred right now. And you know what?
It's been there.
It's been under the surface.
It's coming to the surface now.
I think that that's ultimately going to be a good thing because I think it's going to bring us together
and it's going to make us have conversations
and ultimately, hopefully make us realize
that we are the human race.
I mean, come on.
It's kind of like the mirror effect.
You're putting the mirror on people,
especially when the white mother was crying over her son
and trying to pick out the dress shirt.
I'm like, yeah, now maybe people
can understand how mothers feel.
Yeah, and there's a long legacy
of artists. Nina Simone said
that she
believes the artist's responsibility
is to reflect the times.
And there's a long legacy,
especially of black artists,
from Langston Hughes to Zora Neale Hurston
to Lorraine Hansberry,
who wrote Raising the Sun,
Alice Walker, James Baldwin.
Tupac.
Yes, Tupac.
Who used their art
to kind of galvanize a movement.
And so, you know, there's something to be said.
Yes, it is entertainment.
But, you know, we can, I think, hopefully help raise consciousness.
So Shots Fired is 10 episodes.
And then after that.
10 hours.
10 hours.
10 hours.
10 hours.
They didn't allow us to use the word episode.
Okay.
Because they're thinking of it as a movie. It's a long film. Okay. Yeah. Broken up into 10 parts. 10 hours. They didn't allow us to use the word episode. Okay. Because they're thinking of it as a movie.
It's a long film.
Okay.
Yeah.
Broken up into 10 parts.
Right.
10 hours.
And then after that, so does that mean there's going to be like another season?
Or is that just the end of the 10 hour special?
Yes.
That's the end of the 10 hour special.
But, you know, as Brian Grazer said, you know, you never know.
You know, and there could be another it could be a sequel.
It would be like a sequel to a movie.
Is Shots Fired actually trying to help or is it just profiting off the current climate of the country?
The reason this even started, Reggie Bythewood was watching the Zimmerman trial with his son like five years ago.
And his son was literally had tears in his eyes when he saw the Zimmerman
got off the Trayvon Martin and um so he had that first conversation with him about you know
everything about our history and he showed him a um documentary on Emmett Till and he wrote the son
wrote a beautiful poem and that was the seed of this project.
That was five years ago.
There's no profiting.
There's synchronicity.
I do see a lot of shows now kind of ripping things from the headlines, but there were days we were on set, and it was like we had chills because we're like, this is crazy that the scene that we're dealing with right now is really something that's
going on. I'm curious
to see how it works out with your daughter as well because usually
you see African American men
losing their kids.
But now it looks like you're about to lose
your daughter.
Oh, I was so mad when his
girlfriend was trying to tell you
to do it with your daughter.
You didn't look like a deadbeat in the first
episode.
You're like, tell her I called her mom.
Is that how she sounded?
Yeah, tell her I called her mom.
Tell her I called her mom.
What's your name, your character again?
Press. Now, Press, you didn't want none of
Ash. She's flirting with you and
she thought you was gay. I mean, yes, she did.
Kind of offended me low-key.
But, you know, I think Preston, he came in and he was like,
he was so focused on his job, you know what I mean?
And he has this competitive nature about him.
Oh, you smashed the other chick, though.
I did.
I had to.
That was more of a revenge thing, you know what I mean?
Like, she was messing around with my brother and I was like,
man, I feel like I got to do something.
But that's what men are like.
She's kind of like your boss on there, it feels like.
Kind of.
Well, just wait.
Just wait.
Because, you know, just like I said, our characters go through a big arc, and we do spend a lot of time together.
Okay.
So, you know, right around hour four, you may sense a little, may or may not
see some sexual
tension.
You're a little sexy.
You grab somebody's belt, take his clothes off.
And plus we know you get kinky
because you told your ex
you can't get me out of your head.
I know the stuff you like. So I know he likes some weird
stuff when you say things like that.
That means I do things to you.
What? I'll give you a hysterectomy with my fist. So I know he likes some weird stuff. When you say things like that, that means I do things to you. You also defaced his wife.
What?
He told his wife, I'll give you a hysterectomy with my fist.
What is your mind?
What is your mind?
I was like, that's a weird line.
You do it and I'll give you a hysterectomy with my fist.
I was like, what?
Now, everybody talks about behind the scenes in Hollywood,
you know, how traditionally it's been really difficult for black actors in this business.
Do you feel like things are getting so much better?
Like, you know, we're watching the Oscars after last year's Oscars.
So white movement and then all these TV shows now, it's kind of it feels like there's more roles available.
But behind the scenes, do you feel like things are improving for people?
I personally think it's improving.
I mean, I think television is probably a little further along than film is.
Television's really doing a great job of diversity.
You know, they're realizing how much success some of these black shows are.
Hey, thank God for Empire.
Thank God for Empire.
People say what they want about Empire.
Empire kicked that door down.
It's so true.
And now, you know, you got Star that could do what it's doing.
It's going to second season.
And you got shows like Shots Fired that people are now, you know, welcoming and embracing.
You know, they know that people want to see these type of stories.
And then you see Get Out did so well in the box office.
Oh, yeah.
I want to see that.
I haven't seen it yet either.
I'm done.
I think it helps when it's people like you on the screen tonight.
Like when it's you and it's the Taraji.
People like we grew up watching and now it makes us feel more familiar when we turn to television.
I love that.
Yeah.
I love it.
I've been, you know, I've been doing it for 20 years now.
Really?
Imagine that.
This started when I was two.
By the way, the way you look, we believe you.
There was rumors that you were pregnant at one time.
That was just a meal.
You know what?
I like to...
No, really.
I'm not a skinny girl.
Never have been a skinny girl, and I like to eat,
and I'm not going to starve myself.
I'm going to live my life.
And, you know, sometimes I get a bad angle,
and the blogs are the blogs, and people just, you know,
they like a story for a minute.
You know, being in this business is such a blessing,
but you got to know, all y'all got to know that it is no joke.
The business is hard because all eyes are on you. Everybody's
a critic. And
as a woman, you know, not
only, it's like
now it's like on duty, off duty.
Every picture,
now in the age of social media,
I mean, you know.
So you have to develop
a steel exterior. You have
to get to the point where you just laugh about it.
Right.
It rolls off.
You can't go out without a little makeup on because you're like, oh, yeah.
Yeah.
She fell off.
Right.
Exactly.
Or like if you want somebody wants to take a picture and you're like, well, I don't really
know.
Oh, yeah.
She's a bitch.
Right.
Exactly.
You can't do anything.
Right.
What plays more of a role?
Is it gender or your race for you in Hollywood?
Probably race.
But I feel like it's getting better.
I mean, I would like it to, I think there's a lot more work to be done.
Oscars, yes, there were a lot of us at Oscars.
And yet, it's still, if you look at the movies that are coming out,
it still doesn't reflect the melting pot of this world that we live in.
I want I want Hollywood to reflect the world that we're living in.
TV is definitely getting better.
And, you know, when I was coming up, I was very fortunate to kind of have a steady build.
And there were I could name, three other black actresses
that were working at the time.
And now, you know, I don't even know all of them.
So it's definitely, you know, I have to say it is getting better.
All right, we got more with Sanaa Lathan and Stephon James.
When we come back, keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have Sanaa Lathan in the building.
Yee?
It's good that you have some real friends in the business, though.
I like to see you out with Gabrielle Union, and you guys have always been so tight.
Because I feel like sometimes it is competitive at the same time, because I'm sure a lot of
times people are going up for the same roles.
Yeah.
But it's so important to have a strong network of people.
It is.
And you know, the role of an actor is a very specific
role, road.
And then the road of a black actor
is a specific road. And then
the road of a black female
actress is even more specific.
So it's great to have people who, you know,
when you want to cry
and you can't get up off the floor,
which, you know, I can guarantee you, every
one of us has gone through that. You have somebody who really understands and you know, who you can talk get up off the floor, which, you know, I can guarantee you every one of us has gone through that.
You have somebody who really understands and, you know, who you can talk to about that.
So, yeah.
But, you know, you have family in the business, too.
So I'm sure you get extra guidance, too.
Yeah, that's the one thing.
People always think, a lot of people have said that there was nepotism involved.
I will go on the record and say I have never worked with my father until two years ago on The Real Husbands.
Your father's a big dog.
Stan Lee.
Yeah, he's kind of a.
Didn't he run PBS or something?
No, he was literally kind of like the first black director in television.
And you said the first time you worked with him was two years ago?
Two years ago.
Ain't nothing wrong with a little nepotism.
That's what I want to say.
What's wrong with nepotism?
White people do it all the time.
No, I don't think.
There just wasn't. Exactly. Thank you. Thank you, That's what I want to say. What's wrong with nepotism? White people do it all the time. No, I don't think. There just wasn't.
Exactly.
Thank you.
Thank you, Stephan.
I got you, babe.
Thank you.
So that's the one thing that I think I did have an advantage when I was coming in.
You know, when there were those days, you know, he was like, just keep it up.
Just keep doing your best work.
You know, just keep persisting.
Right.
You know, now, Stefan, you've been having a nice upward mobile career, too.
You know, from you starting off in Toronto and we've seen you as Jesse Owens.
We've seen you in Selma and now you're in Shots Fired.
So what was your most challenging role so far?
Probably playing Jesse.
Because you had to run.
Yeah, because I really had to run, you know.
In the beginning, they were like, we want to get you this stunt double.
And I was like, man, like, I don't want to have to, you know, use stunts.
I want the director to have the freedom to shoot from wherever he wants to.
So, actually, while I was doing Selma, every day I had off on Selma, I would be training for race because I was literally right after.
So I went down to Georgia Tech and started training with them.
So there's the training, having to make sure you're physically in that space.
But then, you know, when you're doing period, you've got to make sure that you're in that space too.
So learning about Jesse, his story, his back history, you know, those were the things that, you know, it was a tough shoot for me.
You're going to need a detox from white people in a minute.
That's when Jesse Owens and Sean Fox. I know, it was a tough shoot for me. You're going to need a detox from white people in a minute. That's when Jesse Owens and Shafi'i
I know, I'm constantly
in a lot of tough, challenging roles.
But, yeah, that's probably
the biggest so far. I can't wait for y'all to see
what he does in Shots Fired. He's so
good. Were you intimidated by
Sanaa? Sanaa.
Sanaa. Were you intimidated?
Definitely not. You know, honestly,
Sanaa. Well, damn.
Well, damn. You know, honestly, Sanaa. Wow, damn.
Damn.
Not like you, please.
You see how she looks?
She was shaking when you met her.
Yeah, yeah.
She's lying.
You know, we met a few times before actually starting to work together.
Yeah, we had to do some chemistry auditions.
And he's the lead of this show.
And it's a big responsibility. And so there was a lot of competition so and we had to read a lot yeah but i mean definitely not she's
such a a warm kind person she's like always super super happy and you know hippie-ish so
it wasn't like a weird laugh not weird but she does right weird it don't sound like it
will come from you i'm like who's laughing like It don't sound like it will come from you.
I'm like, who is laughing like that?
But you don't know me.
That's true.
Oh, you know what I'm saying?
No, I'm not.
I wouldn't.
See how Negroes do?
No.
You don't know me.
Black people gassing stuff.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
I know people, you know, I like having privacy.
Got you.
And people don't really realize that a lot of what you think somebody is
is what you're projecting from roles.
True.
Those are roles.
Right.
Like, I think you're like a great basketball player.
Editor of a magazine.
Editor of a magazine.
I always wanted to see a brown sugar tube, by the way.
Everybody does.
I think there's room for that
just to see
everybody wants
every movie Sanaa has been in
everybody wants a part 2
they're like
when are you gonna do a part 2
Brown Sugar 2 could work though
just to see where you and Dre went
what happened
how did the marriage work out
little hip hop babies
little hip hop babies
where are all the black love stories
like the
I was just telling Gina that
the loving basketball
and Brown Sugar
we need some more
we need some more.
We need some more love stories.
It was like the 90s.
And now it's like... Everything got real hard.
And now everything's real racy.
It's not enough love stories.
I think we should do like
a grown and sexy
brown sugar too.
Like a perfect guy but not a weirdo.
Yeah.
Now let me ask you this. Have you ever had like a stalker brown sugar too. Like mahogany or something. Like a perfect guy but not a weirdo. Yeah. Exactly.
Now let me ask you this.
Have you ever had
like a stalker situation
like that or some
because I'm sure
when somebody starts dating
so now they're like
alright this is cool
and they're not going
to let it go
even if you're like
peace to you
they're probably like
no hold on
how can we make this work?
You probably have
celebrity stalkers.
Yeah French Montana's
a little stalkers.
No.
That's so funny.
You like that one.
Look at him.
He's just like, he can wait to bring up French.
I mean, look at him.
I've had, you know, I don't want to talk about it too much because I don't want to give it energy.
But I had a real person kind of stalker.
Because people see you on screen. that's just it's just it's
human they you know they they can fantasize about that and so yeah I have had that in different
degrees does it bother you that every time you take a photo with somebody you're dating I mean
we've seen you dating Tyrese we've seen you dating friends I know you know you're dating everybody
you take a picture and no man's gonna say that's not. I know. You know, you're dating everybody you take a picture with. And no man's going to say
that's not true. I know. You ask them,
they just be like, ha ha ha.
Ha ha, you crazy
child.
I just, you know what, I try to turn everything
into a positive. It does get
annoying sometimes, but
I just, you know, I think, you know,
fans want me to be happy or something
when they see me with somebody. Right. Are you single? Because you just said this.
I'm single.
Oh, you're single.
Yes, I am.
Are you that hard and slightly crazy in real life as Ashes?
No.
I'm the opposite.
I'm a lover.
Ashes is a fighter.
I'm the opposite, actually.
I should probably be somewhere in between.
I give people the benefit of the doubt.
So what do y'all hope for people to learn from this shots fired when it's all said and done?
You know, I want people to have conversations. I want people to learn from this shots fired when it's all said and done you know i want people to have conversations i want people to be inspired i want people to argue after certain um hours um
and ultimately i want people to be entertained there's some sexy moments and um you know it's
entertaining so i'm excited all right am i gonna cry yes yeah i'm very sensitive when i'm like
you'll cry a lot, actually.
Okay.
And would you ever
That means you're crying too, Amy.
I know.
Yeah, it would depend on the script.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
I'd be open.
If I was cast alongside.
Oh, yeah.
What, you going to be Dre's son?
She's going to be my love interest.
How?
Because you're married.
Unless her and Dre broke up.
I mean, he'll be a good side piece.
I like that. My mister. Yeah, a good side piece. I like that.
My mister.
Yeah, a little side piece.
My mister.
I can get with it.
Is it hard to remain professional around this beautiful woman?
I mean, there's certain...
You didn't holler one time.
We didn't try.
There was certain moments.
I tried to be professional.
Don't answer that.
She's beautiful and we have a lot of fun.
It's really been a great pleasure working with her.
So now, would you rather be with somebody who is an actor or not
in the business at all?
I want
to be with somebody outside of the business.
It's so
all-encompassing. It's not like a 9-to-5.
It's like your life. I would like somebody
who is outside of the business.
That's not to say that I'm not.
I'm okay. You do seem like a proper person.
That's why when French was putting you on social media, I'm not, you know, I'm okay. You do seem like a proper person. That's like when French was putting you on, like, social media.
I'm like, why are you doing that?
That's something you should keep to yourself.
If that is indeed the case.
He's trying.
He's trying right now.
She's like, mm-hmm.
Awkward.
Yeah.
I get it.
So now, ladies and gentlemen, Stephon James, we appreciate you guys.

Good morning.
They can track that, by the way.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.

The Rumor Report.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's The Rumor Report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, Nicki Minaj got into it because of Party Next Door.
The issue all started when social media people were suggesting that Party Next Door wrote
what Nicki Minaj said, her lyrics for the new song that she has out, Regret In Your Tears.
If you guys didn't hear it, this is a song that people are saying is about Meek Mill and her relationship with him.
Here's a little snippet of that.
Terrible record.
Alright, well, she tweeted, our party next door had nothing to do with regretting your tears.
N-Word ain't never heard that song a day
in his life. Bless y'all heart.
Not sure why he was liking tweets.
Maybe it was just funny to him. Maybe he was
hacked. LOL, either way.
This too much F-O-H. By the way,
party next door, you should be happy your name isn't attached to that
record. Now, Party Next Door
said, I'm a fan of Nicki Minaj.
We have a song together.
I hope she's as cool
as I've always imagined.
And then he wrote
Party Over Everything.
All right.
Nicki Minaj then posted
on Instagram,
it's crazy how this song
was trashed,
but now since y'all think
Party Next Door wrote it,
it's fire.
It's crazy how much people
hate her and can never
give her credit.
By the way, Miss Minaj,
I don't care who wrote it. It's trash. It's crazy how much people hate her and can never give her credit. By the way, Miss Minaj, I don't care who wrote it. It's trash.
She then
deleted that Instagram post. I don't care.
Party Next Door wrote it. Party Behind Me.
Party In Front Of Me. I don't care who
wrote it. So the three songs that she
put out, you didn't like any of them?
I liked the one with Wayne by himself.
I mean, it wasn't like
crazy crazy. They all cool. They all just
mediocre. Nothing, no smash.
No, yeah.
Trash.
Mediocre?
I don't know.
Mediocre, trash?
Same thing to me.
All right.
The police are looking to talk to Chris Brown, the LAPD.
Now, they're saying that the whole neighborhood that he lives in in San Fernando Valley, they've
had it with all the complaints, and he is always dumbing his nose at the cops.
And there's been all kinds of gripes against him. A lot of noise,
drugs, assaults, different vehicles,
being driven recklessly, so they
want to at least speak to him and lay
out all those problems and hopefully be able to work
through them. So hopefully
he can work that out.
Now Justin Bieber in the meantime was upset.
He was trying to eat and a fan was trying to
take a selfie with him, which is a little bit rude.
Let him eat his food. He's Justin Bieber.
He signed up for this.
Right, but he's eating.
These young girls love him.
He signed up for this when he was a kid, and it first happened.
He was so happy with it.
You just can't get tired of it.
Well, here's what he said.
Look at your respect level.
Look at your respect level.
Come on.
Look at you.
Thank you, sir.
Yeah, he said that to young fans. You know, won't you. Thank you, sir. Yeah, he said
that he's a young fan.
You know,
won't you respect
the public
and not eat in public then?
If you're the type
of superstar
that you know
gonna cause riots,
you know people
gonna run up on you,
don't eat in public.
You don't see Beyonce
just out eating in public.
I can't think of no times
I've seen Beyonce
just out eating.
I think maybe one time
they were on
in the city eating.
I don't remember. I them in the outdoor cafe.
I just seen pictures, outdoor cafe, but nobody took pictures.
Be aware of your celebrity.
Be aware of your star power.
Don't get mad at people when they run up to you and you in a public restaurant eating.
You in Chick-fil-A and you mad at people running up to you.
He was not in Chick-fil-A.
Where was he?
He was trying to get inside his car.
He was walking to the car eating.
He had some food in his hand while he was trying to get in the car.
He fair game all day.
You're lucky he didn't get your ass grabbed.
See, if you have RevolTV, you can see him getting
inside the car. Yeah, that's fair game.
And that's where she was trying to take the selfie.
Alright, and Tyra Banks is going to be
hosting the next season of America's
Got Talent. We told you all the drama with Nick
Cannon, and he's out,
so that's who they've chosen to take over, which is
crazy. They were talking about different people like Marlon Wayans
that were in the running for this, but it looks like they've settled on Tyra Banks.
All right, Nick Cannon, meanwhile, had this to say about the show.
I'm not defined by a job.
They get caught in a sense of like, you should be happy to be here.
It is the dream job.
Things like this don't come along.
Things like that don't define me.
When people start to put restraints on my creativity,
as an artist, I just have to stand on my square
and stand for something.
Money isn't one of the things that moves me or inspires me.
I love it.
I embrace it the way everyone else does on this planet.
I don't make decisions based off of it.
Everything I do is calculated.
All right.
So, hey, fair enough.
I'm going to drop one of the clues bombs for Nick Cannon.
I'm not mad at him.
As long as he's making decisions
that make him sleep well at night.
That's all that matters.
That's all that matters.
And that's why I'm at
the Kids' Choice Awards
with the twins,
him and Mariah, super cute.
I did see him on stage.
I was watching the Kids' Choice Awards
with my daughter Saturday
and I did sit there and say,
all right, Nick,
you're getting too old for this.
Because he was doing
like this dance battle
with John Cena.
And John Cena posed to look doofy because he's the big diesel wrestler.
I'm like, Nick, you ain't supposed to look as doofy as John Cena.
But he's still having fun.
He's got kids.
He's got kids.
He's doing it for his kids.
His kids weren't on stage with him.
They all dressed alike.
But they're watching.
I'm sure they were excited about it.
Yeah, it's their dad.
Okay.
He's supposed to act goofy.
You ain't put on a stupid costume yet?
Who?
You.
What you mean?
For your kids.
For your kids.
I just ordered me a stupid costume for Halloween yesterday. All right, you mean? For your kids. I just ordered me
a stupid costume
for Halloween yesterday.
All right, see?
So you're not too grown for that.
Right now?
I'm getting a jump on it.
For October?
It's going to take
about 10 weeks to get it.
Oh my goodness.
That's how you know it's stupid.
Oh my goodness.
All right, well,
I'm Angela Yee
and that's your rumor report. Rumor Report. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day.
Donkey, donkey, donkey.
One, two, three, four.
It's time for the donkey of the day.
That's pretty funny.
Charlamagne the devil?
Possibly.
The Breakfast Club.
Yes, donkey of the day for Monday, March 13th
goes to Pamela Hudak.
Hudak. Hudake. Hmm? Now, you March 13th goes to Pamela Hudak. Uh, Hudak.
Hudake.
Hmm?
Now, you probably don't know who Pamela is, but she's 55 years old and she's about to get married.
Now, I'm all for people getting married, regardless of the age, okay?
If you want to lock it down at 55, do you, boo?
It's never too late to create a new beginning or whatever they say to make people feel good about that kind of late, late, late, late blooming.
Okay, but the thing is, it's not that she's getting married.
It's about who she's getting married to.
Now, we all have those family members who will warn us about the people we plan to marry before you even announce you're marrying them.
When you're dating them, they will let you know that he or she is not the one.
What makes a person unmarriable?
Let's see, chronic infidelity, or maybe he or she has quite a few kids already,
or maybe you talked to the person's previous mate
and they told you how horrible a spouse the person was.
Maybe they were abusive.
Who knows?
It's all kind of red flags that can be raised
that will make you pump your brakes
when it comes to who you want to spend
the rest of your life with.
Pamela Hudak is clearly one of those people
who doesn't hold someone's past against them
because she is about to be the third wife of Robert Blake.
Now, kids, you may not know who Robert Blake is,
but your great-grandparents do.
Robert Blake is 83 years old,
and your great-grandparents probably know him as Beretta.
Now, let me tell you about Beretta.
In 2001, Robert Blake's second wife was shot to death in his car.
Now, they had just finished eating at a restaurant when she was shot to death in his car.
Robert Blake claimed he left with his wife, but as they walked down the street, he realized he forgot his gun.
That it fell out of his pocket in the booth where they were sitting.
He says he went back to get it, and when he got to the car, Bonnie was already dead.
Now, Robert Blake got arrested for that murder,
and prosecutors claim Blake hired a hitman for $10,000,
and detectives found $10,000 in his dresser drawer.
Now, it's another plot twist.
The woman he's marrying now, Pamela Hudak,
actually testified on Blake's behalf,
saying he routinely kept large sums of cash in his house.
She said during the trial, they actually dated for two months in 1991,
and she later lived in Blake's guest house in 95 and 97.
I can't make this kind of stuff up.
Play the news report.
The actor reportedly filled out an application for a marriage license here yesterday at the Beverly Hills Courthouse,
and he was with the woman he plans to marry who testified during his murder trial.
The 83-year-old will reportedly marry 55-year-old Pamela Hudak.
The two have reportedly known each other for decades and even dated briefly back in 1991,
something Hudak revealed while testifying on Blake's behalf
while he was on trial for the murder of his second wife, Bonnie Lee Bakley.
Pamela Hudak, I understand you're 55 years old and you may feel like time is running out.
You want to get married before you die.
But aren't you a little concerned that you could jump the broom with Robert Blake
and that marriage becomes the reason you die?
I'm not no player hater, okay?
I like to see people win.
But if Pamela Hudak was my friend, I would be hating on Robert Blake.
There's a couple things that make you unmarriable.
Being arrested for killing your wife is one of them, okay?
Just like OJ Simpson, you don't want
to be his wife or his ex.
When he gets out this year, allegedly, and he starts
dating some pretty blonde, we gonna be
looking at her like, yeah, it's only a matter of time
before they find you bloody in pieces somewhere.
Okay? Pamela Hudak, you are old
enough to know that smart people learn from their own mistakes.
Wise people learn from the mistakes of others.
Robert Blake's second wife is dead.
Does anybody know what happened to his first wife?
You might need to look into these things, Pamela.
Third time's the charm, my ass, okay?
See, I don't go to horror movies.
The reason I don't is because I don't like paying people to scare me.
But the ones I have seen make me cautious about certain things
and make me stay away from certain things.
Nightmare on Elm Street had me scared to sleep.
Love that. Okay?
But couldn't avoid sleep. Alright? Jaws
made me cautious of the water because I was
scared of sharks. Okay? But I still love
getting in the water. I'm just cautious. Get Out
made me terrified of white people.
If I can avoid any of these things, I try
my hardest to. Okay? But I can't.
Alright? I would think
Pamela Hudak's spider senses
would be going off right now because you are the third wife of a man who was accused of killing his second wife.
And once again, do we know what happened to his first wife? Where is she? Is she alive?
OK, all I'm saying, all Robert Blake's wives seem to have had an expiration date.
And Pamela, I wish you the best, but I can't help but think, bitch, you next.
Please give Pamela Hood Act the biggest hee-haw, please.
Wish her the best, though.
All right.
But you can understand why I would feel like she could possibly be next, right?
It's one thing to have a thrilling relationship.
It's another thing to be scared for your life.
That's all I'm saying.
All right.
Well, thank you
for that donkey today.
800-585-1051.
Just asking,
when you're in
a new relationship
or in a relationship,
should the person's past
be held against them?
Yes, it should.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy Angelique.
Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us,
we're talking about
new relationships.
Should their past,
if you're dating somebody, be held talking about new relationships. Should their past,
if you're dating somebody,
be held against them?
Whether they,
maybe they allegedly raped,
allegedly was abusive,
allegedly did something to a child,
allegedly killed.
Yes.
That's what we're asking.
I say absolutely positively.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, by the way,
everybody's past
is used against them,
especially when you're
in a relationship.
When you're in a relationship
with somebody
and you hear about things
that they did in
their previous relationship, if they got accused of killing their wife, they were accused of
beating their wife, they were accused of molesting the children in the house, I think that all
red flags should be raised and you are a damn fool if you date somebody like that.
Absolutely.
Hello, who's this?
Rachel.
Hey, Rachel.
Now, we're talking new relationships.
If the person you're dating, is their past held against them?
Mine's getting held against me right now.
Oh, it used to be a whole?
Yeah, I was with a brother for like seven years.
We broke up, and now I'm dating a white guy.
And I have a child by the first man.
And they had to come up this weekend.
Well, you got to understand, now's a rough time because everybody's seen the movie Get Out, baby.
So whenever they see a black person with a white person, they think you're in the sunken place.
Yeah, but like you said, he's not my type.
Why am I even messing with him?
Like, that's not even fair.
Like, I'm with a person for a person.
Okay.
Do you suck from nosebleeds?
What?
Yeah.
And just because I date a white guy now doesn't mean that I'm against dating white guys ever again.
You just date somebody because you like them.
Who cares?
She just said she saw it from nosebleeds.
I think she was just yes-ing you.
She just said yes.
She didn't really listen to you.
She's in a sunken place.
Ask me again.
I'm sorry.
Take the phone.
It's not what you do.
Take your phone.
Put the flash on it.
And take a picture of yourself.
And make sure the flash gets in your eyes right now.
Stop it.
And then tell me how you feel about your white man after that.
Oh, my goodness.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is Ray calling from Monk's Corner, South Carolina.
Monk's Corner 843.
What's happening?
What's happening?
Really hype.
Population of 1,000.
We're really hype.
I met Charlamagne's cousin, too, by the way, over the weekend.
Did you?
He's from Monk's Corner.
He said he was Charlamagne's cousin.
Who was my cousin?
He was in San Francisco taking pictures.
I ain't got no family in San Francisco.
He said, tell my cousin Charlamagne I said hi.
He lied to you.
Now, when you're in a new relationship, bro,
should a girl's past be held against him?
Hey, you know what?
I'm actually dating a girl right now, right now, man.
She, uh, her last three boyfriends died.
Whoa.
Now, that's a little weird.
How'd they die? Yeah. So how's a little weird. That's how they die.
Yeah.
So how are you enjoying
your last days, my brother?
All of them got shot and killed.
You know, she's from Columbia,
so all her boyfriends
got shot and killed.
And, you know,
I've been with her
for almost a couple months.
Oh, you crazy.
Get out.
How are you enjoying
your last days?
Get out.
Well, I mean, she's cool now.
You know, I mean,
she said it was a day out. Well, I mean, she's cool now. You know, I mean, she said it was their situation.
But, I mean, I ain't been in no situation with her or nothing like that.
Let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something.
Man, you need to dump that bad luck Metro bitch.
Okay?
The Metro is Columbia, South Carolina, for those who don't know.
Dump that bad luck Metro bitch, all right?
Come on, man.
Three guys done got shot and killed.
Has she been with? Yeah, you're a little fool, bro.
The bitch bad luck, bro.
Stop calling her a bitch.
It was her past, you know?
Oh my gosh.
What's your name, bro? Well, we don't want you to be the past either.
My name's Ray. Ray what?
We're going to remember your name. We're going to see this in the news.
Ray what?
I don't want to get my last name.
Ray, Ray, got a few more
days left on this earth.
Now what's the moral of the story?
The moral of the story is the past will always come back to haunt you
whether it's to teach a lesson, remind you
of forgotten feelings, or to just be a
bitch. Alright.
We got rumors on the way in? Yes, let's talk about
Beyonce. She did something exciting
for some young dancers.
We'll tell you what she did.
Also, Ciara was involved in a car accident over the weekend.
We'll give you an update.
Okay, we'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Who else is in the room?
On The Breakfast Club.
So listen up.
Well, Beyonce's with her mother, Tina Knowles,
at the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater show
that was Saturday night in L.A. at the Music Center.
And that's when Tina Knowles had her Tina's Angels.
That's a group of girls that she mentors with her.
And Beyonce went backstage after the show.
So you can imagine if you're an Alvin Ailey dancer
and Beyonce shows up backstage, how exciting that is.
Some of the dancers were so excited, they just dropped to the floor because that's Beyonce.
You know, so that was a beautiful, nice thing to do and a nice surprise.
Nice, huh?
He's hardworking dance troupe.
Tina knows, damn it.
You know I'm a Pinkett Smith, Winfrey knows Carter.
That's my last name.
Now, we've been following this whole young Dolph situation ever since his minivan, which was, by the way, bulletproof.
He has two bulletproof vehicles, SUVs, that were shot at during CIAA weekend in Charlotte.
Now, detectives are saying that they are close to resolving what happened.
According to the deputy chief Estes, he said, we are exploring the possibility that this involves some sort of groups related to the entertainment industry.
There's some evidence that we've collected, of course, shell casings and other evidence that I won't specifically mention.
But we are well on our way to some sort of resolution.
So they said that there was some high-powered weapons that were used.
They said there was over 100 rounds of gunfire that were exchanged between both parties during that incident.
Oh, they said exchanged.
So they shot back.
Yes.
You don't say it was some high-powered weapons that put out 100 rounds?
Wow.
I didn't know they shot back, though.
They actually seized a minivan that crashed at the scene.
And so they got some weapons from that vehicle also.
But no people yet.
They said right now they're tight-lipped about the investigation, but they're well on their way to resolving it.
So it could happen. Now, young Dolph
spoke on it previously. Here's what he said.
Whatever was going on, they couldn't do it.
They couldn't.
In Memphis, it's this thing
called people tricking people out the streets.
Get people unfocused on what they're doing.
That's all it is. You know what I'm saying?
Like, Dolph built himself up
and built himself Into becoming a superstar
And I'll let us
Throw Dolph off right quick
He doing too much
Come on now man
The city can't say
They mention Memphis
They say Dolph
He can't be on now
He doing too much
Don't get mad at me
When I'm doing my thing
I think you should
Just kind of thank God
And keep it moving
Well he's gonna release
An album called Bulletproof
That's supposed to be released
On April 1st
With 10 tracks
And the listings are
These are the track listings
100 Shots
The next song is
In Charlotte
Next song
But I'm Bulletproof
Next song
So F'em
Then it's
That's How I Feel
I'm So Real
I Pray For My Enemies
I'm Everything You Wanna Be
So That's Why You Envy Me
And the last song is
S.M.H. Ain't no song is SMH. Ain't no song
called Thank You God. Ain't no song called Thank
You Grandma for praying for me or whoever
praying for him. But let's think about it.
There's some horrible ass shooters. They
shoot a hundred shots and
nobody did it. They had a bulletproof
truck. But they were exchanging shots.
Nobody got hit. That's always how it goes down.
Not one person? Usually it's somebody that
don't deserve to get hit like a little kid.
Right.
Or somebody's mama.
But he should really name the album Bulletproof Truck.
Because Young Dolph himself is not bulletproof.
All right.
Be specific.
He should just name it.
Thank God.
That's what he should name it.
Yeah.
How about not even talk about it?
I mean, if you want to talk about it in your rap, cool.
But you don't have to make a whole project about it.
You're kind of inviting more of that energy
into your life by doing this.
Well, fortunately,
nobody was injured,
but it should be a wake-up call.
Like, come on, guys.
Ain't that the second time
that happened?
Yep.
Yep.
All right.
All right, Ed Sheeran
is going to be guest starring
on Game of Thrones.
That's dope.
He look like a hobbit.
Is that the show
with the hobbits?
I don't know.
You know what?
I never watched Game of Thrones.
Oh, that's Lord of the Rings.
Lord of the Rings, yeah.
So Game of Thrones
does return on July 16th.
How could he be in that, though?
Like, what would he play?
He's probably gonna...
I don't know who he's playing.
I don't watch that show,
so I don't know.
But they said for years
they wanted to get Ed Sheeran
on the show
because he's one of the favorites
of the star,
Maisie Williams,
of the show,
so they finally got him.
Oh, drop one of the clues bombs
for our guy, Ed Sheeran.
He's going to probably
be a guest star.
I would love to see it.
I mean, you can't have
guest stars in that.
It's like this
from the medieval times,
like, right?
You can't have no...
What, he can't play
a character from
the medieval times in it?
It would be weird.
Why would it be weird?
This would be weird.
You do realize
all the people
that's in there now
is from this era too, right?
They're not from
actually medieval times.
Yeah, I know,
but Ed Sheeran is so now.
Like, you look at him as now. It's called
acting. I don't know.
Acting. I can't see it. Acting.
I cannot see it. Alright, everybody excited
for a new Drake album. He went on
Instagram and he posted five
hours ago a picture of More Life
and he said March 18th.
So that means More Life will be released
on Saturday, March 18th. And if you're a Drake fan, I'm sure you're excited. I've never been a Drake fan, so that means More Life will be released on Saturday, March 18th.
And if you're a Drake fan, I'm sure you're excited.
I've never been a Drake fan, so.
You're going to listen to it, though.
Yeah, I'm going to listen to it for the culture, absolutely.
Could be a great album.
I can't wait for it.
All right, Ciara was involved in a car accident over the weekend.
She's pregnant, and she's in her third trimester, so you can imagine how scary that must be.
They said she was driving her white Mercedes SUV.
She was making a left turn, and then a gray Volvo SUV slammed into the front passenger side of her vehicle.
So Sierra was clutching her chest and her shoulder, but she was fine.
She was walking around.
She was on the phone.
The drivers exchanged information.
Neither of them was seriously injured, but could have been a lot worse.
So fortunately, prayers with Sierra.
Everything is fine.
The driver was illegally in the bus lane
and hit the right side of her car is what happened.
Is everything good with the baby and all that?
Yes, Russell Wilson tweeted out,
Mama Wilson and baby Wilson are feeling great.
God is good.
Good. Don't lose the payday, baby.
Oh, stop it. That's not nice.
That's a horrible situation.
I'm happy for her. I'm glad nothing happened.
It's not a payday. She's in love.
Oh, it's a payday. It's still a payday. She's financially
secure, sir. Yes, she is, because she's having
that baby. Dropping a clothes bomb for Sierra,
damn it. Glad you came out of that
situation unscathed. I mean,
Sierra has a modeling contract. Okay,
alright. She's a singer.
Great dancer. Oh, wow. Alright,
Criss Angel, in the meantime, had a
little incident at the Luxor Hotel
in Vegas where he does his act.
You know what he had on his straitjacket on Friday and he lost consciousness.
If you can imagine how crazy that must be.
He has to have all kinds of testing done.
He did end up performing his show again later on that night.
He was released from the hospital, but he was rushed to the ER.
He did the same routine after that, too.
He did the same routine.
What kind of magician are you and you can't even get out of damn straight jackets?
Listen, he was upside down in a straight jacket.
He tried to escape and he was spinning for about two minutes and he was unconscious.
But all his magic ran out of him?
I don't know, but he was only 10 minutes.
He was only 10 minutes into the show when it happened.
He had to cancel the show.
Close the curtains.
Get him down.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee and that's your Rumor Report.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Well, if you missed it, a Remy Ma actually went at Foxy Brown on the Sheether song.
Here's a line where she is referencing Foxy.
Well, Foxy clearly knew that line was about her and she put out a whole entire freestyle
of a takeover. and pat off that dirty-ass BXB song. I'm a monthly off-beat kid savage,
and I heard about that bitch Miss Garish.
Does it sound bad?
No, Foxy sounds decent, and I love the fact she replied.
It makes the fact Nicki Minaj still hasn't replied look even worse.
But you ever see those fight videos online
when two daughters is fighting in the yard
and one of the daughters is getting their ass kicked,
so the daughter who's getting their ass kicked,
mama, comes running out the house in the bathroom
with one titty out
and helps her daughter.
That's the equivalent
of Foxy Brown's diss record.
It wasn't that bad.
Well, it's not over.
Here's some more
from Breaks Over
by Foxy Brown
in response to Remy Ma.
There's also rumors that Foxy just had a baby. Sean, okay. Think Mona. I heard your little rhymes. Okay. Brooklyn, I'm on. I own my 9-6.
It's got the DNA of Hova.
There's also rumors that Foxy just had a baby.
There's also rumors that Foxy hawks pits after every ball.
No, she doesn't.
She sounds like that because she's a little deaf,
so she can't really hear her own furs.
Stop it.
Brooklyn.
Stupid, man.
All right, and if you missed it, Remy Ma was also on Wendy Williams' show explaining how the whole beef started with Nicki Minaj.
Here's what she said.
It wasn't necessarily, you know, the little subliminal stuff on records because I didn't care.
I don't care about records.
And, you know, I'd spoken to her before.
Like, whatever you say, you're supposed to say you're the best and none of y'all are better than me, whatever.
It was the behind the scenes things that you people would never know about, you know, as far as trying to keep me off of red carpets
and trying to make sure awards
don't go to me or she's not
going to be in attendance or trying to get people
to make bad reports about my album
sales or just anything that I'm doing
to make me look less and make her
look better. And I have a problem. When you're trying to stop my
bag, when you're trying to stop me from taking
care of my children, now I have a
problem with that. So she basically is saying that Nickiki was trying to stop her money you know what i mean
and i guess that's how all the beef uh started between the two of them behind the scenes
she also says that nikki's just not a nice person check it out this person just based on what i've
witnessed it is not a nice person if i learned from this, it made me realize that I have to be a certain way
to everybody.
The help, the hair, the makeup,
the person that's holding the door,
the cab, the car driver,
because so many people have been coming
and the things that I've been hearing,
like I'm petty, like really, really bad.
The things that I've been hearing, I'm like,
nah, nah, I'm not gonna say that, please.
Like that's too much.
Somebody once said,
and when they were in the middle of a rap battle,
you gotta be careful who you choose your battles with.
That is a fact though. We know that.
Everybody knows that. Nikki definitely
has the reputation of having a bad attitude.
And I mean, at one point
you could chalk it up to her just
being a boss type.
Yeah, I feel like as a woman
sometimes she felt like people didn't take her
seriously. Right.
Yeah, but I've seen her do some things to where I'm like, nah, she just got a bad attitude.
Like what?
Remember that time we was in here in the studio and the cameraman was just in here doing his
show.
Taking pictures.
Yeah, that was funny.
How many pictures you gonna take?
She went off.
Jesus Christ.
All right.
Well, let's talk America's Got Talent now that Nick Cannon is out.
Who is in?
Simon Cowell has three people that he's choosing between.
One of them is Marlon Wayans, could be the potential new host for America's Got Talent.
The other two guys are Tone Bell and Brandon Michael Smith.
Now, if you don't know who they are, Tone Bell is a stand-up comedian and an actor.
He's been on The Flash, Truth Be Told, Chelsea Lately, and Key & Peele.
He also has been on Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and Comedy Knockout.
Brandon Michael Smith is a Disney kid.
He was on That's So Raven, So Random.
And he was also in Disney movies Starstruck and Let It Shine.
And he played Little Richard in the James Brown biopic Get On Up.
So who knows?
America's Got Talent, though, has been having some issues.
They actually had to cancel filming all this week
because Mel B's father passed away
after a five-year battle with cancer.
Oh, man, sorry to hear that.
So they don't even have a host right now.
They had to take a week hiatus,
but they are trying to figure out who's going to be next up to host.
And too short, we told you about these rape allegations
against him last week about
a woman who was actually signed to him, his
quote-unquote protege who has done videos
and other projects with Too Short.
Well, here's what Too Short had to say when TMZ
caught him and asked him about these allegations.
Is she fooling with you?
Happy birthday.
I would never.
According to Too Short and his camp,
he never sexually went after this woman and has had no type of contact with her.
She claims that she was a virgin and also said that she does have provocative videos, but that does not have anything to do with her real life.
And she never gave any form of consent.
Oh, boy.
All right.
I'm Angela Yee.
And that is your rumor report.
Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water,
500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country
willingly gives up
their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
