Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.

It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. This is a big deal. Big deal. I think that y'all have a certain amount of respect for, you know, what everybody else does. And y'all are just the best at what y'all do. We love y'all, man. Thank you for being the people's champs.

Probably the greatest. All three of y'all. Good morning, USA! Well, good morning, Angela Yee. Hey, good morning, DJ MB. Peace to the planet. Guess what day it is. Guess what day it is. Let me see if I can fix that for you also. Yes, it's Wednesday. Man, shut up.

You sound stupid. Listen, let me tell you something. Fix me, Red. This is no way for a person to live. We still wearing hoodies and it's about to be May. I spent all last week in Florida last week when I was in Orlando. I was having short pants on and t-shirts every day, getting up to go broadcast from 1 to 4, 5 to be. And now we in here with damn hoodies on.

This ain't no way to live, man. Yeah, they said it's a few degrees below what it normally is in New York at this time of the year. Do I sound any better, guys? Yes, you do now. Climate change is real. I'll tell you that much. Damn it. Well, shout out to Trick Daddy. I flew out to Miami yesterday. That's why I'm late because my flight was delayed. When I texted Eddie and I think you, Charlamagne, I was

just getting on my flight last night. I went to his cooking show. It's called Bitch, I Got Them Pots. So you mean to tell me that you was in Miami and all that warm weather and you decided to come right back? Yeah, flew down there to do a show and then flew right back. You got kids like I do. Yeah, got right back.

They texted me yesterday asking me when I'm going to do it because I told Chick Daddy I want him to do some vegan food. No, Trick could cook. He cooked yesterday. He cooked me some pork chops, some grits, some eggs that he made in butter and margarine. You still eat pork? Yes, I do. And gravy. Oh, my goodness.

When I say that breakfast was amazing. Woo! Let me ask you a question. Trick, his show come on TV, right? Because when I was in Orlando last week, I saw it on television. I was like, I ain't no Trick come on TV. Yeah, no, Trick comes on TV. And he comes on Fox Soul. And on Facebook.

And Facebook. So shout out to Trick Daddy. They had red carpet out for me when I got there yesterday. So appreciate you, Trick. Smooth to T-double-D. Smooth to T-double-D. And CO as well. Corey as well.

I see why you ain't rushed back. You ain't rushed back because of this damn weather. You ain't fooling nobody. You ain't fooling nobody. You still in Miami right now? No, I'm home. I didn't get to the crib until about 4.30 a.m. So you could have made it.

5 a.m. No, I would have had to come shower when the meeting time. So I just turned around and slept with him. Oh, now you shower before work? Okay. You don't wash before work, E? No, Envy doesn't normally. Yes, I do.

What are you talking about? Hey, damn. I can't wake up in the morning without taking a shower. I can't go to bed without taking a shower, and I can't wake up without taking a shower. You got to wash your ass. Well, Charlamagne, you know. Do I take a shower or not. I can't go to bed without taking a shower and I can't wake up without taking a shower. You got to wash your ass. Well, Charlamagne, you know, do I take a shower or not? I don't know.

You tried to take one with me before because you think you burnt and you think I'm Ernie, but you know, no rubber ducky over here. All right. Let's get the show cracking. Now, this morning, Sean Paul will be joining us. Sean Paul. Yes, Sean Paul. He's on tour right now and he's going to be joining us. He's got all, Sean Paul. He's on tour right now.

And yeah, he's going to be joining us. He's got all these sold out shows over here in the United States. All right. And we got front page news popping off. What are we talking about? Jamie Foxx. He has some things to say about Stephen A. Smith about his comments over Ben Simmons. All right.

We'll get into that when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, in basketball, the Heat eliminated the Hawks 97-94.

The Grizzlies beat the Timberwolves. They came back. I think they were down like double digits, 111-109. Drop on the clues bombs for John Morant. Something South Carolina's own. My God, that was a great game. He dunked on somebody in that third quarter. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, but even just the way he showed up in the fourth quarter.

I think he dropped like 16 in the fourth quarter. Had the game-winning shot at the end. Like, that was fantastic. Yeah, no, he played some ball. And then the Suns beat the Pelicans 112-97. What else we got, Yeezy? All right, well, Jamie Foxx is coming to the defense of Ben Simmons. And that's after Stephen A. Smith criticized Ben Simmons on ESPN's first take.

Here is originally what Stephen A. Smith said. I feel bad for anybody who was his teammate. He quit on LSU. He quit on the Philadelphia 76ers. And now he ain't showing up for the Brooklyn Nets. We can point to all the excuses, all the rationale behind it that we want to. I do recall, despite him not playing, he still filed a grievance to collect $20 million that he has not earned. This is one of the most pathetic situations that I've ever seen in my life.

And at the end of the day, when the NBA gets in the collective bargaining table and they go after the players in terms of a pay-for-play stipulation in the collective bargaining agreement it's going to be called the ben simmons rule now jamie foxx responded on social media that is completely unfair ben simmons has a family this man's this man has people that love him and this man just plays basketball but to be dragged through the mud like this is unfair and why is it stephen a smith you only go at basketball players you completely mute when it comes to the Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers of the world you get where I'm going stop it bruh it's out of bounds and then Stephen A.

Smith responded to Jamie Foxx's response to him and here's what he said he and I speak quite often about sports I want everybody to know he and I were on the phone last night because he called me but damn it just like I told Jamie Foxx on the phone, he's wrong. Or I tell him to his face that he's wrong,

I'm going to tell him on national television, he's wrong. I would caution everybody to understand Jamie Foxx has no credibility when it comes to sports. You do know why, right? I know, he's a Cowboys fan. He has no credibility. All Cowboys fans as far as I'm concerned have no credibility. Zero. Jamie Foxx knows better.

He's just highly protective of the black athlete as he should be because they deserve our protection, to be quite honest with you, in a lot of situations. That's what this is about. Yeah, I saw that on Monday. I mean, Stephen A. Smith is talking about basketball and the business of basketball, so he's not wrong. And I understand what Jamie Foxx is saying, too,

but when you're an athlete and a public figure, you're not above that criticism. You're going to get that kind of criticism. Period. So, what's the problem? All right, and Dr. Fauci is saying the U.S. is moving out of the pandemic phase. Here's what he said.

How close are we to the end of this pandemic? We are certainly right now, are we to the end of this pandemic? We are certainly right now in this country out of the pandemic phase. Namely, we don't have 900,000 new infections a day and tens and tens and tens of thousands of hospitalizations and thousands of deaths. We are at a low level right now. If we can keep that level very low and intermittently vaccinate people, and I don't know how often that would have to be, Judy. That might be every year. That might be longer. But right now, we are not in

the pandemic phase in this country. Nigga, we know! As we've noticed. We already noticed, Dr. Fauci. We already living our best lives. What are you talking about? The cases are going up. But like yesterday when I was flying, I would say 90% of the people on that plane didn't have a mask on. We say the cases are going up,

but I'm sure the cases of the flu and other things are going up as well. Like we keep acting like this is the same COVID that was out here in these streets a couple of years ago. Clearly it's not. Right. Clearly it's not. Clearly it's a weak aversion. We know this.

Yeah. But when you see what's happening in Beijing and Shanghai, it looks crazy over there the way they've had to lock down. So hopefully we don't have anything, another surge or anything crazy happen here. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open again. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. Get it off your chest. It's the Breakfast Club.

I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.

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.

She's also breaking records. She is going to be making history. She is the first African American female to stay for a long duration on the International Space Station for six months. Shout out to Dr. Jessica

Watkins, your cousin, your first cousin. From Maryland. There you go. 33 years old from Maryland. My six-year-old wants to be an astronaut. Wow. Well, she's the first black woman astronaut to spend months in space. Congratulations to her.

What's up? What up, bro? Why are you talking so fast, man? You in the bathroom? No, I'm at my work, though. I'm just in my little room right now. Okay. What's happening?

So, yeah, I mean, I really don't really want to get none of my chest. I just want to just be positive and say, like, I'm just happy because I'm finally about to take my kids to Disney. So, we're leaving out of work. I'm leaving from work Thursday. We're going to be there for the whole weekend. You know, I'm just finally, you know, ready to go on vacation. You know,

I just need a break from my job and from life and everything. Just being a son and just having a good time. It's going to be my, my kids' first time

being on the plane. You know, so it's going to be a good time. We're going to have a great time. I just want to be, you know,

everybody just be happy. Well, congratulations. And I'm going to tell you right now, you're going to need to go to City Walk. All right?

Because you're going to need a drink or two, all right, because it's the happiest place on earth for kids, the most stressful place on earth for adults. I went to Universal Studios last week because Disney was all booked up. Well, yeah, that's where we were supposed to go, but we're actually going for my sister's son's birthday, and they went to Universal last year, so they chose Disney.

So I'm like, well, I guess I got to go, but that's where I originally wanted to go. Oh, no, Disney's better for the kids. Absolutely. If you got small kids, Disney's much better. Where you staying? Where you staying, bro? I'm being Orlando. I got an Airbnb resort. Perfect. We just going there for one day.

We going to go for one whole day on Saturday. Go to Walmart, buy Disney, and get all the t-shirts and the funny little hats and all the funny little airs it's a lot cheaper you pay like a dollar for the airs and maybe four dollars for the t-shirt if you go to disney it's gonna be triple that price so go to that oh yeah i got you what you need to get and then go and you can take drinks in in disney with you so you can get the box drinks and all that stuff,

the water, take it with you, saves you a lot of money. Yeah, because we're going to do the four parks. We got the lower pass to where we can go

to all four of them and then we're going to do the Magic Kingdom at night so we can do the fireworks and everything. No, you're not. I'm telling you right now, you ain't getting all that

done in a day. No way. You're going to try, but you ain't going to do it. Your mind, your intention is pure, but you're not going to get through all of them parks in no one day. Guaranteed.

No way. You'll probably get through one. Maybe get through the five. Maybe two. I went to two on Saturday. I went to Marvel and I went to Harry Potter and Dr. Seuss. Don't wear no stylish sneakers. Wear some comfortable sneakers.

Yeah, I know. That's what I was thinking. I was probably just going to wear a jersey and some days or something just so I know. That's what I was thinking. I was probably just going to wear, like, a jersey and some days or something just so I know that it's comfortable to walk in, you know, so. Man, wear workout clothes. I'm not even joking. Wear workout clothes.

When I was there Saturday, I saw mad people in workout clothes, and I said, that's so smart. It is. Wear workout clothes, bro. Go like you're going to the gym. I'm telling you. Yeah, no, I feel you, too.

Yeah, I'm going to have to do that, too. And then take a day off when you get back from work. When you get back from Disney, you might need a day off, too. I'm just telling you that, too. Yeah, well, because he's going to come back Sunday, and I was going to take off Monday anyway. There you go. That's smart. Lord have mercy. Everything we're telling you is real advice, and I didn't even take my own advice

this weekend, because I went to Disney all day Saturday and flew out of Orlando at like 6 in the morning. I ain't recovered yet. Oh man, that's crazy. I bet. But have fun, man. You guys did not make it sound fun. It's not fun for parents. Get it off your chest. Disney is the happiest place

on earth for kids and the most stressful place on earth for parents. Yes, it is. Any of them. Disney, Universal, all of them. The only fulfillment you get is the enjoyment the kids get. But that is a stressful environment. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1050.

We got rumors all the way? Yeah, let's talk deals, deals, deals. We'll talk about Kevin Hart's deal and Diddy's new deal as well. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.

On The Breakfast Club. All right. Well, Kevin Hart's media company has sold $100 million stake, and that's to private equity. So he has said that there's too many different entities, there's too many different platforms, there's too many different places for the world of content to die down. And he said, if anything, it's now amplified. And so this deal makes him the latest entertainment entrepreneur

to tap the private equity money that's spreading across Hollywood. So congratulations to him. Dropping the Clues Bonds with Kevin Hart, man. Very inspiring. Absolutely. Every Partners is buying a 15% stake in Heartbeat. For $100 million. And they said that values the company at more than $650 million.

Dropping the Clues bombs with Kevin Hart. That's like watching one of your classmates succeed. Like, you know, we came up with Kev. That's the homie right there. That's my business partner. I'm like, go, black man, go. Love to see it. And we've seen this happen with LeBron James, with Will Smith.

They've all sold stakes in their media businesses to firms looking to cash in because there's an increased demand for content. All right, now shout out to Diddy also. The Jasmine brand exclusively reports that Diddy did a deal with Motown, and he's going to release his new album under that label as well. And so we've been seeing him in Miami, working on this album for quite some time. Other people on Motown, Quality Control,

they have their label deal over at Motown with Migos, Lil Baby, The City Girls, all of that. So is this a label deal with Bad Boy for his album, or is it just a deal with Motown? So it says that he's doing a deal with Motown? So it says that he's doing a deal to release his upcoming label there. I think Bad Boy Records still does

exist but they don't know yet if that's going to move over to Motown. I mean Diddy still has an air obviously so he should be able to have a record label to release artists. I would just like to know more about the deal because I'm like why would somebody like did he be signing a deal at this point in the game because it is expensive you got it so money though the

team at the lake staff you don't think I have a marketing budget but he's had that for 30 years now but yeah but bad boys been distributed through Atlantic in the past he's had other deals. Yeah, I would just like to know why because everybody's, you know, they're always like, oh, you know, deals are terrible. You shouldn't sign with a major. I just want to know why he would. I'm sure he probably negotiated something great.

I'm sure, yeah. A deal is what you negotiate. All right, and another Jasmine Brand exclusive, SWV. Their new biopic has been picked up by Lifetime. So congratulations to them. That's what I'm talking about. It's my area right here. All of this.

Old nigga time. Let's go. Now, they've been talking about this for quite some time, that they were doing this biopic, and they had a lot of hopes. At the time, when they first talked about it back in 2019, Coco had said that she wanted Seven Streeter to play her in that movie.

So I'm not sure if that's still going to happen, but she had posted a picture with, I like that. My girl Seven, you know I love me gonna happen. But she had posted a picture with My Girl 7. You know, I love me some 7th Streeters. She posted me and my baby 7. She has to play me in the SWV biopic. She looks so much like me. Drop on the clues bombs for the S, the W, the U, and the V.

All right. Now, DC Young Fly says that Chris Tucker told him if he plays his son, then he will do another Friday movie. Here is DC Young Fly talking about it in an interview with Shannon Sharp on Club Shay Shay. Nobody can do Smokey.

I ain't supposed to say that, but I'm going to say it anyway because we get old. I don't care. Chris Tucker out of his mouth told me literally this year, sorry, OG, I'm sad we're getting old, okay? He said if I play his son, he'll be in the movie. So if this ever reach out to anybody who will get anybody, I promise you

his mouth, this is what he said to me. He said, if I play, he said, if you play my son, I'll be in the movie. I swear. DC Young Fly ain't no liar. And also, DC Young Fly is not old. Knock it off, DC. DC Young Fly ain't no liar Okay and also DC Young Fly is not old Knock it off DC

Alright DC Young Fly Will be 30 Next week No he said we He said we all getting old He's 29 Probably Chris Tucker too Chris Tucker's getting old

Chris Tucker getting old But DC Not DC Okay Alright now another thing Look there's a lot of deals happening Judge Mathis Has a family reality show And this should be pretty happening. Judge Mathis has a family reality show.

And this should be pretty. I think Judge Mathis is so entertaining, by the way. Mathis Family Matters will be premiering in June on E! And here is that trailer. You know me, Judge Mathis. Who you raising your voice at? Emmy award winning television personality. Be quiet.

And when the road comes off, I'm just another sucker. All right. Uh-oh. Yeah. You're looking like a star. For the first time in 15 years, the kids are all back in the same city. Hey, look at that.

Like, I'm drowning in the sense of who I was before kids. How is it OK when you have a wife and a girlfriend? Somebody at work said, you're gay? What would you say? I said no. Never knew you felt that way. Come on, man. I'm 19 years old.

What? What did he say? I'm saying that Judge Mathis is so... Somebody at work said you're gay? What would you say? I don't know, but... What would you say, Charlotte? You don't say gay.

Okay? All right? You don't say gay. Okay? All right? You don't say gay. So Mathis Family Matters follows Judge Mathis and his wife Linda as two of their adult children back to L.A. They're all trying to find their way and join the rest of the family. So when it comes to his family, his opinions and being an expert on everything sometimes falls flat as he tries to guide his children through adulthood.

All right. And other news. Chloe Bailey has been casted in Praise This. It's an upcoming youth choir comedy film. And they're saying it's being eyed for a Pitch Perfect sort of franchise. I know you have seen the Pitch Perfect movies. I've never seen them. They're pretty good. That's with Rebel Wilson, right?

Yeah, they're pretty entertaining. So Deadline has reported that Chloe Bailey has signed on to star in the Tina Gordon directed picture and they're saying this does have potential for a franchise like that which I think would be amazing for her. Okay, drop on the clues bombs for my cousin

Chloe Bailey. I think she's coming to visit us soon too. Now that movie's gonna fall under Will Packer Productions by the way. Okay, shoot the Will Packer. Yeah, so that is your rumor reports. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Now, we got front page news next. What are we talking about?

Kevin Durant versus Charles Barkley. All right, we'll get into that next. And Sean Paul will be joining us. Yes, Sean Paul. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

What up, y'all? It's DJ Envy. Make the switch to the general insurance, and you could save over $500 on your car insurance. Imagine what you could do with that money, right? Call 800-GENERAL or visit thegeneral.com. The General Auto Insurance Services, Inc., an insurance agency, Nashville, Tennessee.

Some restrictions apply. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, the Heat eliminated the Hawks 97-94. The Grizzlies beat the Timberwolves 111-109. Come on now.

The Suns beat the Pelicans 112-97. And when we talk NBA scores, this is an NBA Minute. It's brought to you by Hennessy, the spirit of the NBA. Now, what else? And drop on a Clues bomb for something South Carolina's Ja Morant. Balled out last night. Game winning shot against the Timberwolves.

He dunked on them so crazy in that third quarter. My goodness. Nasty. Alright. Now, Kevin Durant versus Charles Barkley. Kevin Durant did not like some comments that Charles Barkley had about him. Here is what Charles Barkley had to Durant did not like some comments that Charles Barkley had about him. Here is what Charles Barkley had to say on Inside

the NBA. Is Kevin Durant a great player? He is and he's been stifled by Boston. I was going to go there. Let me tell you something. I don't want a bad mouth to do, but I'm you guys always talk about that championship stuff. I try to tell

y'all, all these bus riders, they don't mean nothing to me. If you ain't driving the bus, don't walk around and talk about you a champion. If you riding the bus, I don't want to hear it. When you're the bus driver and you got all that pressure where you have to play well, are you going to get the blame? That's a different animal. I mean, all Charles is saying is Kevin Durant hasn't proven he can lead a team yet. You can be the

strongest Avenger. It doesn't mean you're the leader. Thor is one of the strongest Avengers, but Captain America is the leader. It's really that simple. Hulk is one of the strongest Avengers, but Tony Starks is the leader. When KD was with Golden State, he was one of the strongest players, if not the strongest, but he wasn't the leader. That's Steph. That's Draymond Green. So that criticism is valid.

Now, Kevin Durant also responded by posting on Instagram a picture of Charles Barkley as a member of the Houston Rockets late in his career. I didn't understand any of that. Where would Chuck be without the big homies? Yeah, but that's when he was a rookie when he signed to the Sixers.

He got drafted by the Sixers. Dr. J was there. Moses Malone was there. What's Charles Barkley supposed to do? No, he posted a picture of the Houston when he was on the Rockets. I saw that too. He did both. I just saw the one. I said, K. Bal by the Sixers. Dr. J was there. Moses Malone was there. What's Charles Barkley supposed to do about that? No, he posted a picture to Houston when he was on the Rockets. I saw that, too. He did both. Oh, I just saw the one. I said, K. Bellagio. Here's the thing, KD.

When your team is a lot of folks preseason pick to win the championship the last couple of seasons, and last year you get eliminated in the second round. This year you got eliminated in the first round, and you're supposed to be the leader. You're going to get the blame. Just like when y'all win, you get the credit. KD knows that. He's been around a long time. All right.

Now let's talk about a Japanese man who married a virtual character. He wants to now educate other people about fictosexuals. Okay. Come on now. Come on now. Come on now. What is this? All right.

So he's three years into his marriage now. He married a popular virtual character. And he talked about the benefits of having a virtual wife. Who's the popular virtual character? Well, this is in Tokyo. So his name is Akihoko Kondo and he made global headlines in November of 2018. He was 35 years old at the time

and he married Hatsune Miku, a virtual pop star that was developed by Krypton Future Media based on the singing synthesizer software Vocaloid. So she takes on the appearance of a 16 year old girl. She's been in video games, at virtual concerts and even a tour with Lady Gaga. He discovered her a while ago at the time he was told to take a leave from work after being diagnosed with adjustment disorder. He said his co-workers were bullying him and two of his colleagues called him gross and avoided him. He said, I stayed in my room for 24 hours a day and watched videos of Miku the whole time.

Now, according to Kondo, he said Miku's songs actually helped him fall asleep. Her music eventually motivated him to go out again and return to work. And so now he spent around $15,000 for a wedding ceremony in Tokyo. He wanted to solidify his love for this virtual celebrity and so now he wants to spread the word about fictosexuals and he said while he acknowledged many people view his relationship with the fictional

character as unusual and unhealthy he also said that his feelings for Miku have not changed. He said when we're together she makes me smile in that sense she's real. He really think he the first person to be out here masturbating to fictional characters like people didn't used to masturbate to Jessica Rabbit?

He said that he decided long time ago he was not interested in being with a human partner and that Miku would never betray him like a human partner potentially could. And he also noted that she would never get sick or die. He thinks he's the first person

to ever lust over a fictional character. You don't think people would be lusting over Miss Incredible? I don't think he thinks he's the first person, but he wants to marry some people. Miss Incredible over a fictional character. You don't think people would be lusting over Miss Incredible? I don't think he thinks he's the first person, but he wants to educate people. Miss Incredible got a fat ass. You think he's the first person to ever notice something like this?

Yeah, but nobody married him. How do you marry them? How do they say yes? How do they say I do? I'm confused. In Japan, there's been a rise in fictosexuals. These people choose to marry cartoon characters. That's how they express their love for their favorite anime, And he identifies as a fictosexual.

What is this you're talking about, Angelique? And why? Why do we need this information this morning? Well, I'm just letting people know about it and educating you guys

on fictosexuals. All of this stuff is fiction, in case you haven't noticed. You know what I was thinking, though, because he said she would never betray him. What if somebody else creates that character

and marries another Miku? Then you would feel like... What if I just unplug your computer unplug your computer how about that yeah that's what needs to happen what if i just unplug your computer what'll happen then huh what if i just hack your device how about relationships over it's over jesus christ man god bless all these people i mean this is the world that we live in this planet has already jumped to shock where are the ufos huh come on all right all. Alright. Need some balance. Is your front page news? We ain't have nothing better than that.

He's marrying a... Especially in the ficto world. Especially in Tokyo. They got the metaverse and all kind of stuff. You can be out there building all types of things to be in love with. You want to be in love with a cartoon character? You can get you a little envy.

I don't want that. Watch your mouth. Nothing like the real thing. Don't want that either. All right, well, that is your front page news. All right, when we come back, Sean Paul will be joining us. Yes. So we're going to kick it with Sean Paul when we come back.

So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Sean Paul. Sean Paul's here. Who? Back on the road. Yeah. Last time we seen you, you were On Zoom On Zoom in Jamaica And you were saying You haven't really left Jamaica

You've been staying there for Yeah it was a two year period man And I was scared And I still am kinda That way In terms of Just touching on the road For the first time

It's the first five shows In a row we've been doing Yeah good stuff though But you got a new album Coming out Yeah Scorcha Scorcha. Scorcha.

What kind of hat is that, Sean Paul? Oh, my wife said it's a cereal bowl, man. She's like, what is that, bro? Yeah, because it looks like a military, but then it looks like it's a helmet. Yeah, I didn't like it when I had it like this at first. So I'm going to say, yo, cool mode D style, you know? I like it like that. You look suspicious, Sean Paul.

You got a cereal bowl, bro. Okay. You still get a lot of royalties because your records play a lot. All the time, still. Yeah. You own all your royalties. I know some artists,

sometimes they sign deals where they didn't. Oh, no, no. I own all of them still. Yeah, I'm pinching stuff that for me. At least that's the way I look at it.

Now, we were all watching the Grammys and when the best reggae category came, you know, I think everybody thought it was going to be either you or Spice. Spice, yeah.

And then it was- And shout out to Jessie Royal too. Yeah, right? It was, I guess people were talking that it was a white group called Soulja. There's somebody in there of African American heritage, bruh. You know what I mean? That's unfair to that dude. I'm sorry.

It's a white group. I don't know the group. That's what we're asking. I didn't know that dude. You said that just now. That picture we just seen. Yeah, there's one dude standing up in there, man. I did not know that. The white group. But yo, funny story, though.

I'm standing up in the hallway, and we're looking at the different nominees of the thing. Get myself geared up, what I'm going to say. And I heard, and the winner is. And I'm like, is either me or Spice? And I heard, Soulja. I'm like, damn. No one anticipated that. I was like, it's either me or Spice. And I heard Soulja. I'm like, damn. No one anticipated that.

I was like, who's Soulja? I didn't even know who that was until I heard of him. Are they from Virginia or something? Yeah. But you know, my look on it, bro, is who God bless the man cursing. Right? So even if they got the blessing through some crazy means, that's the blessing for them this year.

And we just got to come harder. And I mean, it would have been nice if it was a Jamaican to me. If Jesse won, I feel like I won because I work closely with him. He's on this album, that kind of vibes. And I mean, if I won, he would have won. If Spice win, me, you'd feel like I was involved in that process. Big up Etana and big up, you know, Grams Morgan. We were all up for it.

We'd have loved to see a Jamaican take it, but listen, our music is getting bigger. You ever heard a Soulja though before? Yeah, did you listen to them before?

No, that's the thing. It's such a close-knit unit that we have in Jamaica, so we're listening to many different types of our music, reggae and dancehall and all kind of in between.

You know what I mean? And so I've never heard them before, to tell the honest truth. Did you go back and listen when they won? No, I just noticed the one black dude in the back. He saw the picture.

But how old did the Grammys pick their walls? Because if you think about it, a lot of people haven't heard of them or heard their music. And for them to win best album, it just seems weird that people haven't heard of them before. One thing that's weird is that we don't have enough people on the panel.

So Jamaicans ourselves, we're complaining, but we ain't there voting. So that's an important thing. But that award ceremony in general is that way. It's people who are in the industry, so they're known within their spaces or whatever. And as I said, who God bless no man curse, it't give me a nice fire for fight for the next one so just it wasn't even the fact that they were white it was like they're not Jamaican they were white Jamaicans yeah accepted it yeah right if they were Puerto Rican Jamaica better to me because I know I know everybody there I

seen their struggle I seen there I know their talent. I've seen their drive and it would have been cool to see that. But you said when you saw the category, you was like, oh, I'm about to win this. You felt that in your... Yo, I heard... I was stepping in soldier. So you were there? Yeah.

You had a Grammy party and everything. Yeah, man. We had a Grammy party. We did it up this year. I just feel like they got some explaining to do. I need to know. Soulja, I need to know why y'all decided to start doing reggae all the way from Virginia. Like, I need to hear something. This big, there's a whole reggae scene in Indonesia with something I didn't know. Like, reggae.

They're not doing dance or like that side of it. They're just doing reggae. And there's bands over there that tour Australia and Indonesia and it's a big thing to have their own festival So so I mean by the music going bigger I was gonna ask is it you know You mentioned Puerto Rican Jamaicans does it bother you when people say that you're Puerto Rican or Dominican and that you're not really Jamaican? That's the king of it over here man It don't bother me man, but you, you know, people identify with me. Like, I've been, the first time I came to New York,

people was like, yo, you sure you ain't from Guyana? You from Guyana, bro. My uncle know you. I'm like. You know what I mean? He has people thinking Envy's Dominican, too. Envy really is Dominican. I'm not Dominican.

I'm black. The worst thing is when people start talking to you in their language. Yes. like, like, bro, don't deny the culture, man. And I'm like, yo, my culture is a little different. I mean, it's all with Nicky Jam and Damian Marley. That's considered reggaeton, right? For me? No, no, there is a reggaeton producer that produces. His name is Tiny, big up Tiny, but also Super Duper's involved with that and super dupes is a big dance off producer so for me it's a perfect blend of it and and my whole concept was the song says this place where I'm from that's the hook that he's singing so we're talking about things that are difficult to deal with in your own home space so I wanted different verses like I was gonna get that verse from an Afrobeat person wherever he's from I'm gonna get a verse from you know maybe even a brash at the artists in dr brachetta is it I don't know like you don't know come on bro come on don't deny them plantains bro so what's the difference between reggaeton

and dancehall? That's what I still haven't figured out yet. For me, it's just the language, because the style of rhythm production that they're doing, it's, you know, dembow rhythm is a legendary rhythm, big up to Steely and Cleavey and people like Shabba Ranks, who made it like a staple in our own community. And then, you know, the diaspora, it spills over,

and then people start producing things that sound like that. So to me, because when people ask me what i do i like to say reggae dance our music they're like what is that i'm like well you know reggae from batman they're like yeah i'm like reggae is the father son is dancehall and it's a brother to hip-hop it's a brother to reggaeton and stuff like that because it's all music about people talking about current issues in their life. It's very danceable. It's very topical, up-to-date kind of stuff. You know what I mean? So for me, it's the same type of music, man.

And songs like this is kind of to bridge the gap. All right, we got more with Sean Paul. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Sean Paul, reggae artist.

Now, at one time you said you wouldn't do a Versus. Then you said you would do it. So where do you stand right now as far as Versus? I don't know, man. I still don't feel that vibe there. I still ain't feeling that vibe. I don't know who could go against Sean Paul. I have a niche thing.

I was just going to say. I have like a niche space in the business almost. You know what I mean? And so for me, it's kind of weird to battle somebody from my own genre and I'm one of the most successful there. It's kind of weird to me at this point being one of the elder statesmen.

You know what I'm saying? And then the stance on it is just like more of a unity thing for me. That's kind of a heavy weight there. What if it was only dance hall? For me, that's what being here on Bonte was, and that was a legendary one. But we need more of those, too, I feel like.

That was the only one. So you want us to go at Shaggy then? Yeah. That's what I was thinking, because you guys are the elder statesmen. That's phenomenal. But you got a lot of songs together, too. That's phenomenal.

I mean, he my big bro. He's one of my good friends in the business. Him and me And Junior Gang I speak to both of them At different times a lot About little things That's happening Or what we

Would love to see Change or Stuff that's dope too That would be good Swinson Tim Make that happen Yeah I mean It would be a love fest

You know But it would be a battle Cause it's That's a good one Sean Paul vs Shaggy That's phenomenal He called me up When it first started going on He's like yo What are you saying That's when people Started to Sean Paul versus Shaggy. That's phenomenal. He called me up when it first started going on.

He's like, yo, what are you saying? That's when people started to speculate. Yo, they're going at it. 20. 20 of the, because it's really the songs you picked too, right? And you and Shaggy both have 20 huge dancehall songs y'all could do. But you know what? You guys both are international.

I got 19 songs on the top 20. How many Shaggy got? Three. It's a different thing. But he sold 15 million. Right. So I didn't sell that. So for. How many tag you got? Three. It's a different thing. Boy, he sold 15 million. Right. So I didn't sell that. So for me, it's just an unfair thing.

It's like putting Mike Tyson with Muhammad Ali. It's different time frames. I think the thing about y'all music, though, it's so timeless, though. True. You know what I mean? One thing I'd like to see about dancehall music evolve to people's ears over here is that it's not just the summer music. I go into a lot of the meetings and they're like, oh, but this ain't no summer song though.

And I'm like, but Dan Sal plays every day in Jamaica. He plays all the time. But it reminds people of tiki bars and summer and sun and that type of thing over here, and I get that. But we also have different moods. Like, for instance, check out Trap Dan Sal. So I don't really like the name trap dance all but it is a different mood and it's it's part of what's happening in jamaica that's that mood there

and so nah it ain't gonna be a party oriented or a sand on the beach oriented you know i mean with a drink and a tiki bar type looking thing but that's what we are perceived as you know what i've never seen and you can correct me if i'm wrong, I've never seen an artist from Jamaica be full of their self. It seems like there's always a level of humility. Maybe you might see it differently. I've seen full of their self. Okay.

You know what I mean? What does that look like? We know what it looks like over here. You know what? It's more charming, I would say. Like an elephant man would look in a crowd and say to the ladies, ladies, don't look in my eyes, you may fall in love.

They screaming. He's being full of himself right there. But it's cool. You know what I mean? It's not overbearing to me. But that's performative, though. I'm talking about when the success you had, the success Shaggy had. I've never seen y'all walk into a room and be like, I am Sean Paul. I am Shaggy.

You know what I mean? But just like the song no fair that we did the environment humbles you bro every day i drive on the road and see people in need and and some of them i know i've seen and i've come up with and it's like yo so you check point them on it it's a it's a instant slap of reality to you and i feel like when i was in jamaica in kingston and I just see how you just be chill. People don't even treat you like you a celebrity. Bro, I hear she's here.

I'm like, I'm going to take you to the best seafood place in the world. It's on the beach. She comes out there. I'm mad at her because it's honestly crazy, crazy as seafood. She come there and she's like, I don't eat seafood. I'm like, what? All my friends ate it though. They loved it.

I can't do it. She's like, my boy out there, he came out with fried chicken and they don't have no I don't eat seafood I'm like what all my friends ate it though they loved it I can't do it she's like my boy out there he came out with fried chicken and they don't have no fried chicken out there do you eat vegetables out there

yes no I mean look the food I did eat was good it was the best seafood in Kingston they was there eating lobster

fresh caught right there piles of it lobster I'm like yo Angela you crazy I know your friends enjoyed it big up your friends

listen everyone had an amazing time but what I was saying is just seeing you there like they don't it loves it i'm like yo angela you crazy i know your friends enjoyed it big up your friends listen everyone had an amazing time but what i was saying is just seeing you there like they don't treat you like you're a celebrity you just it's been for regular you know every two years there's a new star in jamaica right so i'm saying so so there's people that come up like the first three years i'm like you know the buzzing character artist and then after that people are like oh yeah sean what's up so you have young people right now real causing a craze and i could walk right past it ain't that uh big of a deal there's people who would argue different yeah because i do buck that up sometimes people are just like yo dog you're the man and all of that but um you know as i said jamaica is a humbling place. It's so beautiful

in the first place and then there is so much suffering. So, it's a humbling thing. I was going to ask, you know, when you first came out, you couldn't smoke weed

in the States. But now cannabis... I'm on the corner this morning. You could have smoked weed in Jamaica when you first came out. Yeah. How does that feel now

that you can smoke anywhere? It's funny. My brother's sitting right there. Yesterday, he was like, it's not exciting anymore to smoke weed, man. Might get caught. Yeah, nobody's coming to lock me up. But one thing, my father would be, he was the lady.

He was feeling good to know. Now he's been to prison for it. He was locked up for weed. And that was a traumatic thing for him and the whole family. And then to see things like this happening now. They got to fix that in the prison system. Yeah, I was just about to say that. I do want to ask one more question about the songs you do over here with artists.

Just say something like Baby Boy with Beyonce. How are those received in Jamaica? When it first came out, huge. And I still have a vibe. He played at places on the radio and in venues and whatnot. And I still have a vibe. Like you played at places on the radio and in venues and whatnot. And it still have a vibe. But it's not as big. You know, the old saying, you ain't as big as your last hit.

It's pretty much a real thing. But then something like Versus may come along and boost you up or a TikTok. Right. Versus is kind of like a Jamaican thing. Yeah, it definitely is. A clash-oriented vibe. Hip-hop too, though oriented vibe and it probably started in battle as well true and it's part of our culture that i never thought i never felt to to partake you know i never i feel every culture got things that are negative for me clashing is very technical it show people skill a lot and i get the the love for it i get the the hunger for it

but for me i just you know it feel like almost almost slightly disrespectful to the artist and the producer like the artist and the producer did these songs and then you taking and you playing it and yeah you promoting it and you actually probably add into the hype of it but also it's almost like it's your record now. And it ain't the artist's own. So it's almost like a misappropriation thing. It's part of our culture and you can't get rid of it. People curse me for saying it.

Like, yo, it's part of the culture. But, I mean, I don't have to follow everything that's in the culture like that. To me, it's not always positive. Shansia's on your album and we've had her up here as well. And I saw that she got some criticism in the culture like that. To me, it's not always positive. Shansia's on your album and we've had her up here as well. And I saw that she got some criticism for coming out and not doing like a straight dancehall album.

Some people felt like, you know, they wanted that. And as a person who has definitely, you know, done pop records and been in other genres, what would your advice be to her? And she asked me that. She was like, what's the advice, man?

Because she was about to drop on. I was like, yo, keep doing what you're doing. But I didn't hear the whole of the album, and I heard my song with her on there, and that's more reggae-oriented, and we did our thing. But I think that it's a little early in her career to be like, oh, it's all of a sudden pop.

People could do it Like we've had people from our genre pop off and be a pop song like kung fu fighting, dude It wasn't our genre, but he's from our country. You know, everybody was Wow, so so I like people like oh me Yeah cheerleader. That's a nice song. Yeah, it's not really a dancehall or a reggae song either. It's a poppy thing.

So we've had people that do that. But my thing with Chen is that she came dancehall. She's spitting dancehall. You know what I mean? People love her for what she did on that Crocodile Teeth on the freestyle. They're like, yo, we want to hear that. They were hungry for that. And then, I mean, you can always diversify.ify so for me it was a little disappointing in that respect but let me state right now i love shancia for me i just think it's um right now she's going hard and sometimes you

know you're going hard you want we want people notice your talent but they don't have the aptitude to take all that in yet right you. You have to get them piece by piece and butter the bread a little bit and feed it to the people before you put all the peanut butter and jelly and all that over it. You know what I mean? I think it's this era, though. This era don't feel like they can do that.

Instant. Instant. And all the time. I tell you, my daughter said, orange juice, orange juice. I said, OK, I'm walking to the field, orange juice, orange. I said, I ain't the iPad, man. You don't just touch me and it goes, whoops, orange juice. You know what I mean?

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.

I wonder why it's not more conversation around like, when you were feeling suicidal. Like I think that that should be a conversation and how you got yourself a part of that. Yeah.

Yeah. I mean, there's a lot in the book and a lot of people are taking when we do these interviews to taking so many different things that really connected with them, which is great. So it's just conversations

and hopefully we continue to have these conversations. You know, this guy escaped from a facility they had committed envy and he escaped with the hospital gown on yeah they were doing like a psychological evaluation yes little beige ass out and went to the club with the hospital gown on i did not go to anybody's legs were hanging out the car when they sped off yes that is true and he was in the club with the hospital gown on and there's actually a picture in the book of his ass from the back. What do you mean?

Yes, and let's talk about this Kardashian-Jenner versus Blac Chyna trial. We'll tell you what's going on as the Kardashians are trying to get her lawsuit for $140 million dismissed. Wow. All right, we'll get into that. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. as the Kardashians are trying to get her lawsuit for $140 million dismissed.

Wow. All right. We'll get into that. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on in. All right. Well, this court case has been going on involving Blac Chyna and the Kardashian-Jenner family. And now they're saying that they are trying to get this dismissed. According to reports, the Kardashians and the Jenners have officially filed a motion via their attorney to have Blac Chyna's $140 million lawsuit dismissed. I can see that happening. Had Blac Chyna provided any evidence to show that they were attempting to get our show canceled? It doesn't seem like it So I'm going to tell you what it is

First of all, she is requesting a redo after nudes were introduced in court She wants to go under the oath again in her case I don't know you can do that I don't think you can She said that the revenge porn pictures shown to her during her time on the stand skewed her testimony So she wants another chance to take

the stand and they also want all of the testimony that came after she was shown the images to be stricken from the record no her attorneys are saying what are you the judge you know because you know because what disappoints me about this is that they had a couple of years to prepare for this case and that's what i said during donkey of the day last week i'm like who are her attorneys why didn't they prepare her to answer these kind of questions? Like when she took the stand and said, hey, I just pulled the gun on him for fun. I just strangled him for fun. After you're being accused of being abusive,

that's just stupid. She needs to fire her lawyers. Alright, now, Kim Kardashian, so this is to what you were saying, right, as far as did they get her show canceled. So the testimony that they're trying to bring in court is with these text messages where Kim Kardashian texted the production company.

I think we all need to take a break from filming at this point until we figure out what's going on. She is not going to be on our show. So if you guys are going to film with Rob and China and then you are going to lose the Kardashians and Jenners. So Kim Kardashian said her refused to work with Blac Chyna on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. She said, I will not go into a toxic work environment on my own show. I have the power to do that. And Khloe Kardashian echoed that same thing. And they also said in an email sent to E, they read, we are even considering not moving forward with our show if theirs continues. That's how strongly we feel this is damaging to our family but kim kardashian still insists it was not the family's decision to drop rob and china so that might be what they're

referring to but you know the executive producer already said black china and rob were not in love so that's really why they decided not to do a season two well that's not a good enough reason 95 of these couples on reality tv aren't really in love. And they actually wanted them to get counseling and they refused. So, all right. Corey Gamble, in the meantime, who's Kris Jenner's boyfriend, longtime boyfriend, testified in court that he rushed to Kylie Jenner's house where Rob and Chyna had been staying and saw an altercation. And when he walked into the home, he said he saw Black Chyna

standing by the bedroom with a rod in her hand and Rob about seven feet away looking red in the face and neck as if he had been in a physical altercation. And he said when Black Chyna saw him enter the room, she immediately dropped the two or three foot rod that was in her hand and instead picked up a long phone cord that was on the floor and started whipping it at him. She was hitting Rob and I got in the middle and got hit, too. I had to try to get her attention on me so Rob could get his belongings and get out of the house. I could smell the alcohol on her. He said the house was a mess. There were Christmas decorations littered on the floor along with a broken

gingerbread house. I thought Kanye was banished, Corey Gamble, from the family. This is in 2016. He's saying that this is what happened. He's trying to keep up here, people. Alright, so that's your update on that, Charlie. When we come back in the up here, people. All right. So that's your update on that, Charlin. When we come back in the next hour,

we'll tell you what Kim Kardashian's ex-husband has to say. He does not like Kim Kardashian saying that she was high on ecstasy. Chris Humphries? Which ex-husband? No, it's a different ex-husband. Damon. Who's Damon? Damon Thomas, her first ex-husband.

How many times has Chris been married? I say Chris. I can't keep up. I'm about to say how many times Khloe has been married. How many times Khloe has been? I say Chris. I can't keep up. I'm about to say how many times Khloe been married. How many times Khloe been married? Who? Kim Kardashian. Kim.

Three. Three. Okay. So Chris Humphries. No. Damon first. Damon first. Okay.

Then Chris. Okay. She got married in 2000 to Damon. Let me stop back and let y'all give a damn. I can care less. All right.

Well, that is your rumor reports. All right. Thank you. Now, Charlamagne, who are you giving that down to? Man, four after the hour. Let's talk coffee. Angela E. likes to talk coffee. Let's talk coffee and how coffee might be leading to people.

You know what? We'll talk about it four after the hour. Oh, boy. All right. We'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Hit me with the heat. It's a breakfast club, bitch. Bum B, say hit it with the heat. Salute to Bun B, man. Donkey of the Day for Wednesday, April 27th goes to 68-year-old Sheila Downey of Memphis, Tennessee.

Salute to everybody who listens to us on K97 in Memphis. Drop on a Clues Bomb for K97 in Memphis, Tennessee. We appreciate you. Now, how do you like your coffee? Common question a lot of people get asked. I've never been a coffee drinker. My wife is. Not my thing.

I prefer a good ginger tea with some honey as a pick-me-up in the morning. Or my Carviva sports drink, one of the two. I'm actually sitting here deciding which one I want right now. But I respect all coffee drinkers. Okay, a lot of y'all heard me ask, how do you like your coffee? And you answered, I like it black. Straight black.

No cream or sugar. Some of y'all want cream and sugar. Some of y'all like a dark roast. Some of y'all like it half-caff, watered down because it makes you too jittery. A little oat milk. A little oat milk? Really? Okay. Some of y'all like a little lighter blonde roast. Some of y'all don't like the taste at all because it's too bitter. Some folks like putting a little

salt in their coffee. Have you heard of that, G? Nope. Put a little salt in their coffee because it blocks the bitterness, alright? There's a lot of ways to drink coffee. Personally, I don't dig it because I don't like the taste. And someone not liking the taste of coffee is why Sheila Downey is in jail today. See, she had an 81-year-old husband. And her husband got into an argument with her over the taste of his coffee.

Now, Angela Yee, you have a coffee business, right? Yes, coffee uplifts people. Coffee uplifts people. This is a story of coffee upsetting people, okay? If someone doesn't like the taste of their coffee, Yee, how do you handle it? Yes, coffee uplifts people. Coffee uplifts people. This is a story of coffee upsetting people, okay? If someone doesn't like the taste of their coffee, how do you handle it? Try to get them a new one.

Simple, right? Yeah. I would think if someone didn't like the taste of their coffee, you would simply fix them another cup. When you're married, you would probably tell said person, fix your own damn coffee then, okay, if you don't like the way I made it. Well, Sheila didn't either. Let's go to Fox 13 for the report, please. Well, it started

over the taste of coffee, but now one man is dead and his wife has been charged with his murder. Memphis police say Sheila Downey stabbed her husband to death yesterday at a home on Renwood Street. Now, before the victim died, police say he told them that the two

got in an argument over the taste of his coffee. He says Downey got angry and tried to drink bleach. That's when he tried to stop her. She grabbed the knife and then stabbed him multiple times. Police say that Downey originally drove away from the scene, but was arrested when she returned. The best part of waking up my ass. Okay? Imagine getting killed because you... Waking up your ass. I did not say that.

Okay? She said the best part of waking up my ass. Y'all know what I meant. You know they say the best part of waking up is Folgers in your cup. I said the best part of waking up my ass. Y'all know what I meant. Wake up. Wake up the ass. Alright. Open the door. Wake up. Wake up, ass. All right. Open the door.

Wake up. The door's always open. As I was saying, okay, imagine getting killed because you didn't like the taste of your coffee. Okay? And what if that coffee you was drinking was Death Wish? Do y'all carry that brand? No. Death Wish Coffee Company.

All right, Death Wish Coffee Company better hope and pray this man wasn't drinking that brand? No. Deafwish Coffee Company. All right, Deafwish Coffee Company better hope and pray this man wasn't drinking their brand because Lord have mercy that would be a terrible promotion. Listen,

one thing for sure, two things for certain, I would never let anyone who drinks bleach fix my coffee because if she can stand the taste of bleach then clearly her taste buds

are questionable. But the reality is she was probably drinking the bleach because she wanted to kill herself. And when that didn't work she got pushed

to kill her husband. Look man, let's be clear about something because we do this all the time in regards to humans. This woman, Sheila, didn't kill her husband over no damn coffee. OK, when you get to the point where you kill someone over a cup of coffee, you reached your tipping point in life and with that person a long time ago. And Folgers had absolutely nothing to do with it. All right. This woman was clearly in pain. This woman was clearly hurting over something. This is why I tell y'all constantly invest in your mental wealth. All right.

Deal with your emotional health. Fix what's in your head. Okay. And in your heart. All right. Your body is your temple. Your body is your house. And if you don't deal with what's in your mental wheelhouse,

you can possibly end up killing someone because of Maxwell House. All right. What's interesting about this is Sheila probably could have used a cup of coffee or a dance-off. A lot of folks' anxiety goes to the roof if they don't get their coffee in the morning. My wife doesn't like to do anything, and she will have an attitude until she gets a cup of coffee. And there has been some research that shows coffee and caffeine may decrease anxiety symptoms. So Sheila probably needed a cup of Seattle's best to take the edge off. All right.

No matter how strong a person is, they always have a breaking point and Sheila clearly reached her breaking point and she will have to get the healing she needs and a state sponsored facility for the rest of her life. And I would like to note that this situation completely makes the quote a bad day with coffee is better than a good day without it, null and void. A bad day with coffee is better than a good day without it. That quote is null and void, and that is complete BS.

Sheila's husband had a bad day. He got stabbed multiple times and later died with his coffee. I'm just here to make observations, people. Okay, everybody in line at Starbucks, Dunkin' and Yee Spot just here to make observations, people. Okay, everybody in line at Starbucks, Dunkin' and Yee Spot, Coffee Uff Lips, people, carry on. Please let Remy Ma give Sheila Downey the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw.

You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. We still want to know what the best part of waking your ass up is. That's not what I said. How do you wake your ass up? I said the best part of waking up my ass. All right? I don't even know why that sounds like that, but y'all know what I mean.

You know how when somebody says, like, such and such my ass? No, I don't know why. No, nobody such and such as my ass. I don't know what you're talking about. Y'all not going to gaslight me. Y'all not going to gaslight me this morning. We're not.

We're not going to ask you. You're not going to do it. We're not going to let you do it. We're not going to let you do it. We're not going to let you gaslight me this morning. Nope. We got therapy today. We won't do it.

That should be a good hashtag. All right, everybody, hashtag the best part of waking up my Nope. Got therapy today. Won't do it. That should be a good hashtag. Alright, everybody, hashtag the best part of waking up my ass. The best part of waking up my ass. It's Charlamagne's favorite thing. Nothing about waking up in no ass. That's not what I said. We didn't even say that.

Maybe you just said that under your breath. I heard you and everybody heard you. Rewind the tape. You just said that. Nope. You kinky this morning, bro. Ain't nobody kinky. The Don't Play Gay Bill will be bought into this studio this week. What? Soon as I get the Honorable Judge

The Breakfast Club. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice. Call up now for Ask Ye. Eat the bread. Morning, everybody. It's D-H-A-N-V, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Ye. Hello, who's D-H-A-N-V, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Hello, Yee, how you feeling? Good morning, Breakfast Club. What's up? What's up? Good morning.

What's your question for Ask Yee? Yeah, basically, this happened recently. I got scammed by someone close to me that I could call my family because we grew up together. And she got a whole kid or whatever that's like two years old and he's living with us. But she basically went back to the baby father who came out of jail and ghosted us. Ghosted me and my mom and everybody. And then hit me up and somehow scammed me because I just sent her money. And I got scammed for like 1.2.

Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. 1.2 what? K. Okay, so $1,200. Now. Hold on. 1.2 what? K. Okay, so $1,200. Now explain how this scam worked. She asked you for money and you sent it? Yeah, I was working and then she said, Hey, I just zelled you some money.

Can you cash up to me? I said, sure, no problem. I wasn't suspicious of anything, so I said, sure. And I sent it. And because I sent it, the people that they scammed pulled the money back and Chase said they couldn't do anything for me. So I took it sure. And I sent it. And because I sent it, the people that they scanned pulled the money back and Chase said they couldn't do anything for me. So I took the out. Right.

Okay, so you want to know what you should do. Well, I don't think that she'll get arrested over $1,200. But, you know, is that somebody that you want to continue to have in your life? I mean, I don't know. I don't know. Like, honestly, I still have don't know. Like, honestly, I still, I still have love for her

like a family member. Like, I don't have any negative feelings to her so I already forgave her but I, like, in my mind,

I forgave her. She still has yet to pick up my phone calls but I forgave her in my mind. I don't have any bad love for her. I just want to just,

I know what to do. I don't want to take her to the cops and then something happens to the kid because I don't want her to grow up without a mom or nothing. Yeah, well, $1,200 is not going to make her get taken away from her children and all of those things.

But the way that I am, I don't know that I would press charges against somebody. Sometimes those are expensive lessons in life where that person can never come to you again for anything. And that's how I look at it, where you give somebody money, they do something foul like that. And you're like, OK, well, now you just don't have access to me anymore. And you also don't know what type of dire situation she was in to make her do something like that. It feels like it's out of character. That's what I was thinking, too. Maybe she was going through something immediate for the kid or whatever.

I got in contact with her through her sister. And basically over the phone, she said she don't give a f***, basically. And that really hurt. Right. Well, I promise you, it's the type of thing that's going to hurt her more than it hurts you. Because now she can't ever come around you or anybody in your circle and get anything. And this is the type of thing that you let everybody know that she did this. Okay? So that they all know not to

let her scam them either. And she'll learn her lesson. But, you know, like I said, I'm sure she's going through something. If you've been friends with her, like family, for a long time, we can't explain why people do the things that we do. But what you can do is let her know, I've forgiven you for this. I already know

that you have no intention on paying me back I hope that everything is okay and good in your life And you know what? You are blessed that you even had that money To be able to give somebody and keep it moving And God will bless you a thousand times over That sounds cool I hope

But I really just wanted to contact her To let her know I forgave her But I just don't know why Why me? Yeah, it's hurtful. It's hurtful, but that has nothing to do with you. That has everything to do with her and the type of person that she is and whatever it is that she's going through, you know, and you got to disconnect from things like that.

And look, this is a lesson for in the future. When somebody asks you for something like that, you know, you got to be more careful. And like you said, there was no reason that you should have thought anything was suspicious this is somebody you looked at like family and sometimes that makes us change the way that we move you know but listen there's people i've you know given money to lent money they promised to pay me back they've never done it and i'll just never lend those people money again and they can't have that same type of privilege definitely yeah yeah and god and god will bless you and continue to bless you for being a great person.

You never want to let somebody like that not, not, discourage, you never let somebody like that discourage you from being an amazing person

who you are. I appreciate that. All right. I appreciate that so much. Thank you. All right. No problem. All right.

Here's some real advice with 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? Hi, my name is Star.

Hey, good morning, Star. What's your question for you? Good morning. My question is my mom, she recently got married to someone who was a predator to me and my sister, and I kind of cut her off, and I have a lot

of people telling me, I'm wrong for that. You only get one mom and I want to know am I wrong for disconnecting myself with someone who I feel is no longer protecting me I think you got to do whatever you need to do to protect yourself and if you're not comfortable because your mom married somebody willingly and knowingly that has caused any type of harm to you and your sister you have every right to do that. Just like she went and took it upon herself to do what she needs to do, you have to do what you need to do for you.

Now, if at some point in the future you feel like you and your mom need to work things out, you have every right to do that as well. Don't worry about what anybody else has to say when it comes to this. You work through these things yourself. Talk to a professional. Be able to express yourself and how you feel. Find out why. Get the tools that you need so that you can be healed and feel better. Okay.

Thank you. You're welcome. Alright. Ask E. 800-585-1051. Now we got rumors on the way. Yes, and let's talk about Megan Thee Stallion's interview with Gayle King. Megan Thee Stallion disclosed that her former best friend sent her security guard

a text message on the night of the shooting. We'll tell you what that text message said. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Kim Kardashian's first ex-husband, Damon Thomas, is upset about something that happened on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. I believe this was from an episode that was in 2018, right? And so he did an interview with Vlad TV and he said that he thought it was irresponsible for Kim Kardashian to be saying that they got married in Vegas when they eloped back in 2000 because she was on ecstasy.

At this point, first of all, let's talk about Kim. I'm proud of her. I'm proud of her family. I've seen Chris. I've seen Chris at Kenny's wedding. I think it's unfair to make those kind of blanket statements because we have kids. You know, I have children. My kid goes to the same school her kid goes to. I think that she should be more responsible with those statements because there's a lot more to that subject and those things. And I could go into that and blow up the spot, but I wouldn't because it happened in the past.

You can try to sweep it under the rug. You don't stay married to somebody or be with somebody for four to five years. And it's just based off of you getting high off of exes. You know what I mean? That doesn't make any sense at sense at all well if you don't want somebody to talk about you then don't talk about them because i'm sure that man would not be doing that interview with black tv if she hadn't said something fresh right well here's what she said uh on keeping up with the kardashians i got married on ecstasy i had no idea no the first time i did ecstasy once and i got married when did when did she say this, Nadia?

I can't keep up with this stuff. Yeah, so this was in 2018. And he just did an interview now? Yeah, he just responded. I mean, he hasn't really said much about it, and he has never really blown up her spot. It's not like he's constantly doing interviews about her. I'm sure the interview had a lot of other things in it.

But he did say their kids do go to the same school, you know, and I guess he's saying it was not just some drug fueled mistake. They did stay married after that. He didn't like the way that she put it, that she got married. She portrayed it. Yeah, because she was on XT. And that's fair for him to express his side because she brought it up first. Yeah.

Four years later, though. I mean, whenever, you know, maybe promoting anything. I just need to make sure he was just doing an interview and they brought it up. OK. You know, who knows about that? But like I said, if you don't want people was just doing an interview and they brought it up. Okay. You know who knows about that but. Like I said if you don't want people to talk about you don't talk about them. That's simple. Yeah I mean he's responding

if someone says something and you respond because you know what it is when somebody puts it out there then you get asked questions about it and he is in the music business so he is going to end up doing interviews. Like I said if you don't want somebody to talk about you don't talk about them. Okay and now let's talk about Megan, don't talk about them. Okay. And now let's talk about Megan Thee Stallion and her interview with Gayle King.

Some more. So she also has revealed that there were text messages, allegedly from her ex-best friend, Kelsey Harris. And in those text messages, Megan Thee Stallion disclosed that Kelsey sent her security guard a text message on the night of the shooting and that message said help Tori shot Megan and so you know that was the same night that everything happened. Now Megan the Stallion and Kelsey are no longer friends we're not really sure what happened with that but here's what she had to say when she was on with Gayle King. I really thought that we were all friends and it's sometimes I feel like I put the blame on myself because when my mom passed

I just felt like I was looking for some type of family environment and I was letting so many people in And I didn't care who it was I just wanted to feel like I got family and I got people that cared about me and just I could hang out with everybody And I was just going through it Isn't that evidence for the courtroom though and not the court of public opinion like that text message? Yeah but I think she's tired of public opinion

and she wants to prove her side. It must get difficult or hard. But you know why it don't matter because the people that don't want to believe her will never believe her no matter what she presents. And it's not like they're going to ever apologize and say oh maybe it's my bad. So it's just like who cares about the court public opinion, especially when you're dealing with something in the court of law. Yeah, that's true.

Yeah, but I guess in a situation like this, I'm sure it is frustrating when people are coming at you. We don't know everything that happened. We just know what he's saying and we know what she's saying. And maybe she just wants to put out. And that's why you let things play out in court. Maybe she wants to dispute the narrative that's out there and tell her side of the story and she has the right to do that all of that will all of that will happen once the case plays out in court but that's not until september too who cares she does yeah she's i'm sure stressing around all right now let's talk

about oprah and gil king and their friendship're in People Magazine, and they were talking about when they first actually started their 46-year friendship. Oprah was a 22-year-old news anchor in Baltimore when she offered Gail, who was a 21-year-old production assistant writer at the station, a place to crash for the night. They hardly knew each other, but there was a heavy snowstorm in the forecast, and Oprah didn't want Gail King to be stranded. She said, we ended up talking all night long. And she said,

we've literally been best friends ever since. So that's a cute story to hear. I actually got really close with a lot of people during the pandemic that I just was like casually friends with.

And then you end up being in these circumstances and, you know, getting a whole lot closer. All right. Now, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly. There's a new cover story with Glamour UK.

And Megan Fox in that story said that she and Machine Gun Kelly drink each other's blood for ritual purposes. OK. And she wants to make sure that people don't misunderstand this. Here's what she had to say. People are like people are imagining us with like goblets and we're like Game of Thrones drinking each other's blood. It's just a few drops, but yes, we do consume each other's blood on occasion for ritual purposes only.

It is used for a reason and it is controlled where it's like, let's shed a few drops of blood and each drink it. He's much more haphazard and hectic and chaotic where he's willing to just like cut his chest open with broken glass and be like, take my soul. Let me bleed on you. It doesn't not happen. Let me tell you. Maybe not exactly like that, but a version of that has happened many times.

Now, all of y'all YouTube conspiracy theorists will be having all those Illuminati conspiracy theories in regards to every black artist. Get to typing. Get to typing now. Get to typing. Envy, is this in your blood, too? Have you and Gia ever drank each other's blood?

No. Just asking. No. Have you ever drank ours? What? What? Have you ever drank ours? What?

I don't know what he's saying. Have you ever drank ours? Have you ever? Corona. Have you ever drank her? What? I don't know what he's saying. Have you ever drank her? Have you ever? Corona. Have you ever drank her? Oh, oh. Yeah, I mean, we boogie gang. I mean, I was talking to Chick-fil-A about it the other day.

What's going on? I don't even know what's going on here. I'm talking about a boogie gang. What you saying, Envy, a period don't stop nothing but a sentence? That's what you're saying? Nothing. Okay, drop one of the clues, Bob, for Envy. I didn't get to that part of the book.

Okay, so you drank her blood. She just never drank yours. No, no, no. All right. Drop those peaches in Envy's comments. He's just saying a period don't stop nothing but a sentence. That's what he's saying. All right.

And Machine Gun Kelly, by the way, is plotting his return to the rap game and returning to those roots. In a new interview with Odyssey, he said he is following the success of his most recent arrival, Main sellout and plans to take a break from alternative rock and start making hip hop music again. He said, I'm going to make a rap album for myself for no other reason. No point to prove no chip on my shoulder. And if I keep doing things to prove things to people, I'm going to one, drive myself crazy and to not make a good product.

He said, I made tickets and mainstream sellout because I wanted to make them. I need to now also make people miss that sound. But also, they didn't explain why they be drinking each other's blood? They said it's a ritual. Yeah. But what kind of ritual?

For ritual purposes. But what's the ritual? I don't know. I don't know of that ritual. I've never done that. But, you know, they said it's on occasion. All right. All right. Well, that said it's on occasion. All right. All right.
