Starting point is 00:00:00 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.

I'm waking up. Good morning, Angela Yee. Oh, hey. Good morning, DJ Envy. I've been here. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Monday.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Good morning. How's everybody feeling out there? How was your weekend? My weekend was great. How was your weekend? It was good. I got back from Atlanta, and yeah, that's it. I was happy to be home.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Yeah, you were at the Mercedes arena, right? You lived there for a couple of days? I did not live in the arena. You were there for a couple of days? Is Kanye still there? I'm assuming he's still there since the album's not out yet. He's still there. He'll be there this week.
Starting point is 00:02:54 So what is the plan? To do another album? If he does this again, if he does another album listening party in that stadium and all of y'all show up, that's just on y'all. Y'all got money to burn. Maybe people ain't doing as bad as I thought they were. But they gave away a lot of free tickets. Oh, they did? Yeah, they did.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Oh, okay. Remember he gave away all those tickets for the HBCUs the first time around, the second time around, our station in Atlanta. A lot of people were giving away tickets, but they were like $20, $30. $20, $30, but then you go in there and buy $500 chicken wings. You don't have to buy no chicken wings. $750 bulletproof vests. Not a mask in sight, though.
Starting point is 00:03:29 There were some people wearing masks. Some. In that big-ass super spreader event. Come on, now. They were actually doing vaccinations there on site, too. Oh, for real? I didn't hear that announced. Yes, they were.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Were they the Yeezy brand vaccinations? So that means they were $750 a shot. No, it was free. So the album'szy brand vaccination? So that means they were $750 a shot. And that was free. So the album's supposed to come out on the 15th now. So I wonder if he's going to do one more listening session. Of course he is. And people are going to be there. They're going to run and kick that football.
Starting point is 00:03:54 A bunch of Charlie Browns. Not mad at him, though. I mean, listen, he has the culture in the palm of his hand. In a way that I've never seen before. It's very Colt-like. Very, very Colt-like. It is. It is. Well, this morning,like. Very, very cult-like. It is. It is.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Well, this morning, Nick Cannon will be joining us. Ah. What was that for? Isn't that your, what is it, he called you his frenemy? That's my guy.
Starting point is 00:04:15 I love Nick. But, you know, the thing is, the views of Nick Cannon do not represent the views of married men like myself. And myself. And myself.
Starting point is 00:04:23 I can't speak for you. I don't know. Yeah, no, myself. Okay, well, you got to give your disclaimer then. I gave my disclaimer. I don't know what he be talking about when he be talking. I just mind my business.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Nah, listen, I respect everybody's right to live the lifestyle they want to live, but we'll talk about it when he comes next hour. My goodness. All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, let's talk about a black realtor. He was showing a house to a black man and his 15 year old son in Michigan and the police put handcuffs on them. All right. We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Yo. Morning, everybody. Steve, J.M.V., Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news.

Alright, what else we got, Yeezy?
Starting point is 00:05:51 A black realtor was showing a house to a black man and his 15-year-old son. This was in the suburbs of Michigan and police officers showed up, surrounded the property with their guns drawn. One of the neighbors called the cops and said that previously
Starting point is 00:06:07 there was a squatter who had been in the home with the same car that had gotten, the car had been towed, the individual had been arrested for unlawful entry. According to the neighbor, the homeowner asked him to watch the house and so he was watching the house and called the
Starting point is 00:06:24 cops on this realtor and the family that he was showing the house to. Now, here is what realtor Eric Brown has to say about whether or not this was a racial profiling. In that moment, it certainly felt that way. It's difficult to justify that type of what I felt a tactical type response. There was a strategy there and they were surrounding the home without our knowledge. And we weren't made aware of their presence. I don't feel like a home that had been on the market
Starting point is 00:06:51 for this length of time with the number of showings, given the climate and activity in our market, that no one else had that type of level of force or response respond. And I bet you all he got was, I'm sorry, we sorry. You know what I mean? All the trauma that he got to live with after that moment, all he got was, I'm sorry. We sorry. You know what I mean? All the trauma that he
Starting point is 00:07:05 got to live with after that moment, all he got was an apology, if he got that. Now that dad Roy Thorne had this to say about what happened. I was very worried once I saw the two officers with their guns drawn, and I saw them doing hand signals. That's when I really got
Starting point is 00:07:21 paranoid because I knew once they surrounded the home they were just preparing for a standoff and so my instincts told me we need to get out of here we need to get to where they can see that we're not a threat I was worried but I was just more concerned about getting my son out of that situation that's the crazy oh go ahead I was gonna say the craziest part about that that happened to me actually in New Jersey Franklin Lakes I was out looking at a crib and one of the white neighbors uh seen me walk in and called the police and said I was going to say the craziest part about that happened to me actually in New Jersey, Franklin Lakes. I was out looking at a crib and one of the white neighbors see me walk in and called the police and said I was vandalizing. And they did the same thing. They rolled up on me and, you know, come outside, ask why I'm in this property.
Starting point is 00:07:55 And I tried to buy that house. I was going to actually buy it and rent it out as an Airbnb and do parties on it every night to F up the neighborhood. Because I just thought it was so foul that the neighbors would call the police when they seen a black man, you know, walking through a house. I just thought that was weird. Yeah. And it's a shame that, you know, we celebrate the fact that, you know, he didn't get killed and we can't even be mad at the fact of what actually happened to him because there's a part of you that's like, well, at least he didn't get killed.
Starting point is 00:08:18 But that shouldn't be our mindset. Right. Well, the the Wyoming Department of Public Safety said they conducted an internal review. They said that race played no role in our officers' treatment of the individuals, and the officers responded appropriately. They said, while it is unfortunate that innocent individuals were placed in handcuffs, our officers responded reasonably and according to department policy, based on the information available to them at the time. Sure. Sure, race didn't play a part in it. That was the neighbor.
Starting point is 00:08:45 That was the reason why the neighbor called, because she seen two black men in that property. So I'm sure it was Rice. If it was two white men in the property, I'm sure she wouldn't have called the police. She'd have been like, oh, they're just looking at the property. Well, did the police respond reasonably, though? No.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Because what they were told is someone was breaking in. You know, they showed up. They put them in handcuffs, released them without incident. And, you know, they're saying that's what happens when somebody says there's a break in. That's the sad thing, because I think I think if somebody calls for a break and that's what they're supposed to do. But if it was no break in and it was no gun, there was nothing that shows that there was a break in. Shouldn't a person that called the police be arrested? Shouldn't they be saying something happened to them?
Starting point is 00:09:21 I've seen police respond in neighborhoods that are considered white and rich. I actually saw this last week, by the way. Alarm was going off. You could hear the voice saying, Intruder, intruder, burglar, burglar. You are on property that you shouldn't be on. They didn't pull up that way. They didn't pull up with guns drawn.
Starting point is 00:09:39 They pulled up, but they didn't pull up with their guns out. They had their hands on their hip, but they didn't have them drawn already. Now, the officers I heard in body camera footage explaining the house had been broken into the week prior, and they acknowledged it appeared to be a misunderstanding. They did apologize to them and handcuffed them after a couple of minutes. But that's very traumatizing.
Starting point is 00:09:58 And here is the 15-year-old Sam Thorne. In the beginning, when we were upstairs, is when most of the shock and initial fear kind of happened. It went from that there's cops outside to come outside with your hands up. That's pretty much what I felt was just like
Starting point is 00:10:16 confusion and shock and fear because I had no idea why they were all down there at that time. Lord have mercy. And then you look at that 15-year-old and say, how is he going to look at police officers for the rest of his life? How is he going to look at white neighbors if he hasn't for the rest of his life? Because he's going to look like, they almost killed me.
Starting point is 00:10:35 They could have killed me. They came in that house with guns drawn. How is he supposed to feel? I should have stayed home. This is how we starting off Monday morning. I mean, yesterday was a beautiful Sunday. You know what I'm saying? The Lionsgate portal was open.
Starting point is 00:10:44 I was manifesting all day today and then here we come in here this morning talking about this. Got my blood pressure up. You know what I mean? For no damn reason. Well, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Hit us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Good morning. I'm darling. I'm telling. I'm telling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm telling. I'm calling you. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Hello, who's this? This is Kobe from Aiken. Kobe, what up? Get it off your chest, bro. Man, I just want to say, man, these white folks doing all this crazy s***. They making everybody look bad. Who's everybody? By everybody, you mean other white people? Other white people, yes, man.
Starting point is 00:11:34 White people can't even go nowhere without being looked at funny because all these white people out here doing stupid ass s***. Are you white? Yes, ma'am. Listen, you got to stop cursing, but here's the thing. This is why you have to identify the racist, bigoted white people as crack-ass crackers. Good white people got to draw a line in the sand and say, I'm a good white person. You a crack-ass cracker. You right.
Starting point is 00:11:57 That's exactly how I used to be, man. That's right. Don't let us be the only ones calling racist, bigots, crack-ass crackers. White people, you got to do your part, too. Good white people got to do their part. Everybody needs to play their part. That's right. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:12:10 Good morning, Envy. What's up, man? Good morning. This is Rick. Rick, what up, King? What up, Rick? I'm good, man. I was going to tell you.
Starting point is 00:12:17 I did that depressing story about the realtor. Your phone is kind of breaking up, sir. I said, people underestimate how traumatic it is to be in handcuffs. Your phone is kind of breaking up, sir. Not just handcuffs to have a gun drawn on you and not know whether you about to die in that moment. That's the best. I mean, that goes without being said. But people feel like, all right, I'm just going to put you in handcuffs
Starting point is 00:12:37 for a little bit and then we're going to work this out. Being in handcuffs is probably more traumatic than having a gun put to your head. I don't know about that. I don't know about that one, Rick. More traumatic than a gun to your head? Yo, by the way, the whole situation is so traumatic.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Yes. When they call a cop, they feeling like the cops coming in to work this out. Being in handcuffs, I mean, I've been in handcuffs numerous times for whatever reason. But, yo, just being in handcuffs is so traumatic, and it triggers me every time I hear people say, we're just going to put you in handcuffs is so traumatic and it triggers me every time i hear people say we're just gonna put you in handcuffs for a little bit and feeling like that anybody that called the cops on me i can never be friends with you i could never talk to you i will never deal with you again because this is so much trauma well the other thing
Starting point is 00:13:16 the other thing rick i think you know when you when you're a black person man like the whole interaction you just don't know whether you're gonna live or die because we've seen people in handcuffs get shot in the back, get killed. You know what I mean? We just don't know. And the thing is too, Charlamagne, the thing is that you could be as polite as possible and still get killed. That's why the whole process is so traumatic because it's like
Starting point is 00:13:37 I don't even know how to behave right now. And even if I act up, I'm going to get shot. If I don't act up, I'm going to be resisting arrest. And if I be polite, they're going to take advantage of me anyway. So it's like, oh, man, it's raining now in New York City. I'm driving to the Bronx. It's depressing.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Hearing that story is super depressing. I'm super triggered this morning. Thank you a lot, Breakfast Club. Yeah, one thing I know, Angelina knows how to set the tone. Listen, I got to make sure y'all know what's going on. Sorry it's not happy news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Could you imagine if they didn't see the police calls and they just walked out? But let this be a lesson to people who are, you know, there's houses for sale on their block or people who just call the cops and say anything, not knowing what's going on. Let that be a lesson. And for any police officers who are listening, think about how traumatic that can be for somebody who's a realtor showing a home to be placed in handcuffs.
Starting point is 00:14:32 That's never going to change. Sadly. That's never going to change. We're talking about profiling. Sadly, that's never going to change. I'm not going to just ignore it. Craziest thing is I go through Patterson all day long. Nobody ever calls the police on me.
Starting point is 00:14:44 But when I go to them white areas, what? Happens all the time. Yep. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:14:54 The Breakfast Club. Let's go. This is your time to get it off your chest. Whether you're mad or blessed. Say it with your chest. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. So if you got something on your mind, let it out. Hello, who's this?

Starting point is 00:17:17 you can hit us up. Now we got rumors on the way. Yes. One time, if it's your birthday and it was Barack Obama's birthday over the weekend, we'll tell you what we know about the event.
Starting point is 00:17:26 He did have Chad Beckham there performing that song to birthday. Did he? Yes, he did. Wow. All right. We'll get into that next. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Well, former President Barack Obama had his birthday party over the weekend in Martha's Vineyard. And people weren't really supposed to be posting video and pictures. Now, Chet Beckham was there. Apparently, he performed a Bitch for the President, which, by the way, is the perfect birthday song always, and T.J. Chapman, but they did post some pictures, and then they later had to delete them because there was a photography ban at the event.
Starting point is 00:18:17 I saw her posted a picture also, and I saw Erykah Badu posted some video with Barack dancing in the background and Michelle Obama. That all got deleted. That all got taken down. But it was on all these other sites. Once you put it up, it's over. Yeah, but they made them take it down.
Starting point is 00:18:33 Yeah, so I saw that some people did go ahead and post video and pictures. Now, they did say it was supposed to be a scaled down event because originally it was like 600 people. But then they scaled it down to only include really close family and friends. Some of the alleged people, some of the rumored people that were there were Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Gabrielle Union, and Dwayne Wade, Jennifer Hudson, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Bradley Cooper, Bruce Springsteen. We saw Erykah Badu was there, Stephen Colbert, and John Kerry.
Starting point is 00:19:04 You know how humbling it was for some people to get cut from that guest list. They said Larry David was uninvited. And they said that's going to be great on a new episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. I don't know why people are so upset about his party, but if you think about it, they said COVID restrictions, everybody had to be tested. They made you go through a process to get in. But my whole thing is the airport has hundreds of thousands of people and nobody cares or says anything about the airport. Well, the hundreds of thousands of people are kind of
Starting point is 00:19:29 coming and going, right? Even worse. They're not stuck together in one place, dancing and breathing on each other. You're waiting on that line the whole time and you're sitting next to each other on the flights. You don't know who's tested, who's not tested. You don't know if somebody took a COVID test, if they got COVID or not. We don't know when you're on the airport.
Starting point is 00:19:45 Just everybody's. That's why you're supposed to have your mask on the whole time. But at least at this party, everybody was tested. Right. So David Letterman, Conan O'Brien was axed off the list, allegedly. Hey, how can you ax off the list? How does that make you feel? You think you go in all of a sudden.
Starting point is 00:20:00 I mean, you have to understand. Nah, B. It's got to be humbling, especially when they say close family and friends. And you're like, damn, I'm not your close people. Nah, B. It's got to be humbling, especially when they say close family and friends. And you're like, damn, I'm not your close people. Nah, B. Right? You made me feel like we were close when you was running for president and you needed donation money. All right?
Starting point is 00:20:14 When you needed something when you was president or running for president, I was your close pal then. You'd just be like, I didn't get the message. I wasn't invited. So here I am. Yeah, you think Secret Service won't turn your ass away with no remorse. All right, now let's discuss people who don't bathe all the time. Jake Gyllenhaal has added to this conversation. Now, this all started with Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis saying that they don't shower all the time or wash their kids all the time.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Here is what they said on Dax Shepard's podcast, Armchair Expert. You should not be getting rid of all the natural oil on your skin with a bar of soap every day. It's insane. I don't wash my body with soap every day. Okay, good. I wash my armpits and my crotch daily and nothing else ever. You don't? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:21:00 And look at his. Let's talk about his skin. Maybe I'm missing the context of all of this, but I don't understand all these white folks volunteering information that they don't wash much. Yeah. I was going to ask, any black folks that say they don't wash every day? I don't know. But I'm sure some people don't wash every day. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Is this some type of campaign about preserving water or something that we don't know about? Because I don't understand the context of any of this. Well, Jake Gyllenhaal has said that he also finds bathing to be less necessary. He said, you know, he just really feels like it's necessary for, yeah, he said, I just find it to be less necessary. That's what he told Vanity Fair. He said his attitude about bathing has gotten more lax over the years. If you're nasty, just say that, Jake.
Starting point is 00:21:41 Word is born. That sounds crazy. I saw Jocelyn saying, I'm him with brushing my teeth. I do floss three times a day. What do you mean? She don't brush her teeth every day? I guess that's what that means. It just seems like white celebrities are having a don't wash your ass challenge that we don't know something about.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Now, The Rock, however, is not joining that challenge. He said, nope. I'm the opposite of a not washing themselves celeb. Shower cold when I roll out of bed to get my day rolling. Shower warm after my workout before work. Shower hot after I get home from work. Face wash, body wash, exfoliate, and I sing off key in the shower.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Yeah, I'm definitely a two shower a day guy. In the morning and then before I go to bed. Go to sleep. Yeah, two showers a day. I can't leave the house without taking a shower. I don't know how people do it. Like, I can't even function throughout the day unless I've showered. That's like... Just knowing you nasty. How I get
Starting point is 00:22:29 my day started. Alright, now Megan Thee Stallion was recently talking to people and she said her next project will be a complete shock. She also was teasing her new Bitcoin for Hotties video with Cash App and she talked about the conversation about LGBTQ acceptance.
Starting point is 00:22:45 She said, it's about time. Representation is important. And it's really crucial for us to all have compassion and acceptance of every human. So, you know, that's her response as far as that representation in the music. All right. Now everybody's waiting for Kanye's Donda album. It has another release date. So now Apple Music has shared the pre-order link for the Donda album.
Starting point is 00:23:08 The release date is now August 15th. So it's going to be on a Sunday, which is not the typical Friday release date, allegedly. So we'll see. Kanye know y'all going to be right there to eat it up when it comes out. He know he got y'all in the palm of his hands. I think he's going to do another show? I wouldn't put it past him. I think so. I think he's going to do another show? I wouldn't put it past him.
Starting point is 00:23:25 I think so. I wouldn't put it past him. He would have to announce that pretty soon, right? No, not really. That's a lot of money. He probably announced it today. That's a lot of money. One day. He announced it Wednesday. He announced the first one, what, three, four days prior? He announced the second one a few days prior?
Starting point is 00:23:39 No. Clearly people don't got nothing else to do. Well, you know, it's great, I guess, promo for the album. We all know it's on the way. I just like seeing all the people who acted like they hated Kanye when he was running around in the red MAGA hat. They was right up in there with the Don DeBulletproof vest on. That's what I enjoy. The hypocrisy of it all.
Starting point is 00:23:56 You know, I think that you can not agree with somebody's political stance and still agree. I think a lot of people have agreed that he's a good musician. Yeah, but people was really drawing lines in the sand saying, I'm done with Kanye. I'm through with him. They did.
Starting point is 00:24:08 They really were saying that. But nope, they all was right up in that Don DeVille. I saw y'all. Yep. And then there's people that really was big fans of his
Starting point is 00:24:15 and now they don't like him for some reason. I don't believe that. It's weird with the music thing. I don't believe that. But that is your rumor report. Yeah, did you, did I see you
Starting point is 00:24:24 with a Don DeVille? That was Jay Electronica as he threw it on me. He was like, hold this for a second for me. But they gave him out. It was free. So you got one? That was Jay Electronica's. Oh, I thought maybe you got one too. Okay. No, she took a picture in it. That's hers.
Starting point is 00:24:39 That was yours. No, it's not. I don't think I need it. You promoted Donda. For any reason. But you know, listen, my man is Jay Electronica. He, it's not. I don't think I need it. You promoted Donda. For any reason. But you know, listen, I managed Jay Electronica. He's on the album. Great verse on the album too, by the way.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Yeah, he did his thing. I support Jay Electronica always. Nope, that was supporting Kanye's album. I never saw you with a written testimony, Veston. They didn't have any.
Starting point is 00:25:02 My goodness. All right. Thank you for that rumor report. We got front page news next. What are we talking about? Yes. And let's talk about the FDA. Well, let's talk more about COVID and what's going on with that. We always got to do that every day. All right. We'll get into that
Starting point is 00:25:16 next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Angela Yee here and the General Insurance makes it easy to save money on your auto insurance. They offer affordable coverage with low-down payments, flexible payment plans, and the ability to pick your payment date.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Call 800-GENERAL or go to thegeneral.com today. 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, congratulations to the Women's USA Basketball Team and the Men's USA Basketball Team.
Starting point is 00:25:51 They both picked up gold at the Olympics. So, congratulations to them. That's right. Salute to Asia Wilson and Chris Middleton. Asia repping the 803. Chris Middleton representing the 843. Don Staley, coach of the South Carolina Gamecocks, for coaching the Women's Basketball Team.
Starting point is 00:26:05 Yes. All right. Now, what else we got, Yeezy? Well, new COVID outbreaks have been traced to recent outdoor concerts. And so they said it's too soon to know if it was a super spreader event at Lollapalooza over the weekend. But people were really horrified at the crowds that were at Lollapalooza. And they were also saying that you can see the general rule of thumb right
Starting point is 00:26:26 now is that even though outside is safer, when you see people that are really packed in together like that, that's what's really causing some of these issues. Authorities in Oregon are looking at 62 cases tied to July 10th Pendleton Whiskey Music Fest. And in Michigan, at least 96
Starting point is 00:26:42 cases can be traced to the Faster Horses Festival. So they said the good news is, if there is any good news at all, the people who contracted the virus at one concert were all tightly packed in together by choice near the front of the stage. So even when you're outdoors, just make sure you observe social distancing and not be shoulder to shoulder. All right, now let's talk about Cuomo. So one of his accusers, Brittany Camiso, has identified herself. She started working as an executive assistant in his office back in 2017. And now she is speaking publicly for the first time since she has filed a criminal complaint against Cuomo last week. And in this report, she did an exclusive interview with CBS This Morning and the Times Union. So now she's talking about how it was her dream job and it did turn into a nightmare. She is not the first woman to come forward with these allegations of sexual misconduct, but she is listed first in the attorney general's report because of the seriousness of her allegations.
Starting point is 00:27:40 She's the one that said that he groped her, touched her not only once but twice. She said the first time it was December 31st, 2019. She was at the mansion that night to help him with his upcoming State of the Address speech. And according to Camiso, after finishing her draft of the speech, he suggested the two of them take a selfie together. And then she said, then while taking the selfie, his hand went down back onto her butt. He started rubbing it. And then she said it wasn't like a quick brush over it but he was rubbing her butt and it made her so nervous that her hands began to shake and made it even more difficult for her to take the picture she was embarrassed she said and then she also said there
Starting point is 00:28:14 was another incident where he stuck his hand up her shirt and cupped her breasts so she said uh those are the things that happened to her and she said that she just was concerned about her job. So you can watch that full interview on CBS this morning. All right. Well, that is your front page news. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, Nick Cannon will be joining us.
Starting point is 00:28:40 That's right. Nick Cannon. He has a new flick in the theaters right now. What's the name of the movie? She Ball. She Ball. She Ball. All right. Nick's the name of the movie? SheBall. SheBall. SheBall. And Nick will be here to talk about that amongst the other things.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Alright. Now we taped this on Friday. Ye wasn't here, so that's why you don't hear necessarily a woman's perspective on some of these things that we discuss. But let the record show, the views expressed by Nick Cannon do not reflect the views of a happily married man like myself,
Starting point is 00:29:05 Leonard McKelvey. Oh, like myself, Rashawn Casey, Rashawn Khalil Casey, Rashawn DJ, MB Casey. Say it all baby.
Starting point is 00:29:10 That's right. Every name you've ever been called. That's right. Don't agree. We'll get to it next. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. The breakfast club.

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
Starting point is 00:31:47 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.

Starting point is 00:32:30 Nick Cannon. We here. All right. The streets say Nick No Condom Cannon. Is that what they're saying? The fertilizer. The fertilizer. How many kids do you want, Nick?
Starting point is 00:32:39 How many do you want? Man, honestly, somewhere 10 to 12. I wouldn't be mad. Why so many? You got so many, too. I got five and one on the way. So I'm going to have six, but I'm stopping it. Really?
Starting point is 00:32:51 I'm going to stop. Are you sure? It's the beauty of fatherhood, man. When you really talk about the essence of living as a father, too, man. I've learned so much just from my children, man. And it's so amazing. And I really just love being around my kids and just that youthful energy it feels like you get to relive every time all the time i love
Starting point is 00:33:11 that and i think because you know i've been through so much in my life you know physically mentally and spiritually like the the best place that i find is the time that i spend with my kids and the energy and to get as much of that as possible to pass on you know all that i've lived into something else that's why i do it man it's not the number of kids though i guess people question the different baby mothers that's why do people question that that's a eurocentric concept when you think about the the ideas of like you're supposed to have this one person for the rest of your life and really that's just to classify property when you think about it i mean like when you go into that mindset,
Starting point is 00:33:46 if we really talk in that talk, just the idea that a man should have one woman, we shouldn't have anything. I have no ownership over this person. If we're really talking about how we coexist and how we populate, it's about what exchange can we create together. So I've never really subscribed to that mentality.
Starting point is 00:34:04 I understand the institution of marriage and stuff but if we go back to what that was about that was the classified property that was because one father gave another man his daughter for land so when you really get to that concept is like we got to change all of this up because I don't want ownership over anybody I don't have ownership of any of the mothers or like we create families in that sense that we created a beautiful entity so i like i mean i get into it because i don't you know those are the concepts that a lot of people because we're so indoctrinated into it
Starting point is 00:34:34 we have to have it this way i don't subscribe to it i actually think women are blessing us those women those women and and all women are the ones that open themselves up to say, I would like to allow this man in my world, and I will birth this child. So it ain't my decision. I'm following suit. I respect that game you're running on them ladies. Wow, Nick. Nick, that's what you're spitting?
Starting point is 00:35:02 That's the dream you're selling? Wow. So the women that you're spitting, That's the dream you're selling? Wow. So the women that you're spitting, wow. They're the ones that are making the choice. So the women you have in a relationship with, they don't mind that you... Every woman that I deal with or deal with, they know how I feel. And it usually is a concept. Like, I'm not going around like, who am I going to impregnate next?
Starting point is 00:35:22 Nah, it's usually scenarios and kind like that's the thing people say certain things in the public but when you really look at how a family infrastructure is designed the woman is the one that always leads and makes the decision i agree wholeheartedly i said it all the time i said that we had to do some real societal brainwashing to make people believe that men were the actual leaders but just by nature you can look and see women run everything the only Yeah, and the only thing, we have brute force. That's about it. And even now, that's changing drastically.
Starting point is 00:35:49 And we've used our brute force to brainwash society to think that we're the overpowering or the one that controls just because maybe we can physically move something. Nah, women lead. Women lead. In every scenario that I've had, I step back and say, how do you want to do this?
Starting point is 00:36:06 Well, I've heard people say that they think you having all these kids with different women is selfish because you can't possibly give the time to all of the different kids. Time is a man-man construct. If we're talking quantity over quality, every single one of my kids, I'm at every basketball game, every martial arts practice. And people don't understand how I do it, but that's literally my children are my priority. It's all about being present. And I always say for all of those people that say, man, there's no way he can do it, sit back and watch.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Interesting conversation. I respect your right to move that way. I'm a married man. I love being married. I love the idea of being with one woman and building a family, building an empire. I understand. And I feel like I want to figure, like, I remember being in that space. And I was with the one woman I've always wanted to be with for my entire, I lived the dream. And I saw it was so much to that.
Starting point is 00:36:57 But for me, based off of my trajectory in life, I was like, there's a little bit more and even like i can even admit like as sometimes there was selfish concepts of like i feel like my purpose is greater outside of just being in this institution and i personally i mean you know salute to anybody else who does it but i can't get out here and talk about how much i live my truth walking truth only to truth and i'm creeping like so every woman that deals with me knows that yeah we know what it is does it make you crazy when people when they when they judge your relationship online like I remember you just had your recent baby and you're in a strip club with me and people like how is he in the strip club when he just had a baby an hour ago it's a lot of noise watch how I move like is anybody complaining do my children look
Starting point is 00:37:46 like they're not well behaved or in in a in a space where they're suffering or any lack emotionally physically whatever it is so you think it's a coincidence that um nick cannon is nc and no condom is nc you think that is a coincidence or is that divine? No, let's... Hey, that's a... I like that. Contrary to popular belief, I do wear a condom. That's a damn lie. Please.
Starting point is 00:38:12 That's a damn lie. Listen. What reason do we have to believe that? And don't write out the condom name because nobody's going to use those. Yes. Matter of fact, what is the brand name? So they can be discontinued. I keep the gold packs with me.
Starting point is 00:38:25 But the... Well, you need to stop wearing them. They're a little baggy. Something's slipping up. Magnums be breaking, though. They do... Okay, so let's go through this process. Let's talk.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Let's talk. Every relationship starts off with a condom. Yes. Correct. Then, once you feel like you get the... Oh, there's trust. It's comfortable. And then once, however, that first slippage of either
Starting point is 00:38:49 you didn't have it, the condom breaks, you was in the shower and it slipped it or whatever. And like, all right, well, we done crossed this threshold now. So f*** it, we don't need them no more. You know how it feels now. And then because, and that's why I say no children are ever accidents.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Because if we make the conscious effort of stepping up and having unprotected sex. You know the consequences. You know you're preparing to have a child. Correct. So anybody I ever had unprotected sex with, I knew, okay, this is someone i wouldn't mind creating life with so if i meet somebody and usually i don't like meeting new people but i'm a 99.9 percent gonna be strapped up in that sense i don't drink i don't mind i'm always i don't i'm under the right sober state of mind every time i go into any sexual activity some of your kids are close to the same age that means you slinging with no kind of a couple of girls now as someone who has
Starting point is 00:39:49 to see the doctor cuz of my other ailments yeah and I probably got a little careless with that because I'm STD checking every week because I get my blood taken every week because of lupus so I usually know where i'm at and i'll also what about the young lady though usually know so and in that scenario she knows what it is if someone suggests using a condom of course that's what we doing do you think you might come back and be like no i do want to be with one person when you talk about marriage you're talking about the the business of marriage because that's marriage is a business it's a contract right i mean i think it's a soul tie too i mean when you find the right person that's a covenant but i much rather have someone
Starting point is 00:40:29 as a companion for life i'm not moved by sex i don't make decisions off of sex i probably have some of the closest people in my life when it comes to women that i'm not sexually active and i tell off top if it's about your vagina we can take that off the table from the gate because now i can really get to know you because now i'm not i don't know clearly the world knows i have enough access to vaginas so let me really break down where we at with this so i feel like some of my strongest relationships with women going i mean we in our 40s now like like later on in life and she ain't even working the way it is. You're going to need that one to hold you down.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Yeah, you're going to be like, who can I go to the movies with? I'd rather focus in that direction and figure out who can I solely have sex with. I'm not moved by it. So again, those constructs don't't really I don't think about that well I'll tell you one thing boys men out here who can't commit
Starting point is 00:41:27 to one woman that's listening and saying that n***a spitting this morning that n***a spitting I don't disagree with what you're saying
Starting point is 00:41:38 because you have the right to live that way it don't work for me I gotta be I love being a woman and again I respect and salute anyone who can
Starting point is 00:41:46 be in an honorable relationship because it's not easy to do if it's exhausting i i'm like dang i could never do that that's not for the ad just like everybody can't be a priest every like and so when i see i believe when two come together and become one that's powerful that's that's blessed by god you can't do it by yourself. Now, because of my scenario, every time somebody meets me, they already have a... You've been Nick Cannon for a long time. I'm being like, dang, who was in the fourth grade that I... You know what I mean? Like, I've never...
Starting point is 00:42:17 I don't know... I don't have a woman in my life that's had my back from day one, who rocked with me through the bull... The reason you feel that way, because like Charlamagne and I, I've been with my wife since she was 15, I was 16. Right. So she's been there before DJ Envy, before the money. That's amazing, man.
Starting point is 00:42:34 But we just going to the bodega, getting hour ladies and drinking quarter waters. That's a blessing from God, man. Everybody can have, you know, the small percentage of that power of like, that's other kind of love of love i'm you you me i don't have the i'm you you me everybody is like i think i could be what you want i'm like i'm cool by myself all right we got more with nick cannon when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the Club. We're still kicking it with Nick Cannon. Do you regret giving Kevin Hart that llama? No, I was wondering why. You said it won't even stop.
Starting point is 00:43:13 You didn't change the number? Nah, I mean, I need, it's still my phone number. And then they just give me safe. Yo, what's up? We Are The Breakfast Club, man. You f***ing s*** up. What was that? You calling it.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Hello? And that's the other thing. so it constantly called I wonder because it kept ringing the whole time the whole this and it's just and I is on silent that's the other you gotta protect your peace Nick you gotta change your number no so the thing is obviously we got the prank wars going on now I was trying first like me and Kev do this all like it just so happened the phone number is just times 10 though. Yeah, because we always prank each other, especially around birthdays and stuff like that. I'll be sending just stupid stuff to his house,
Starting point is 00:43:51 and I'll send the llama, and then this motherfucker's going to put my phone number on a billboard, and it will not stop ringing. So I'll be answering like, all right, so what should I do to get this back? Because the brilliance of this prank is the world got to be a part of it usually our pranks is like private and silly over the top now everyone has my phone number so that's another I'll keep it on because like all right until I get this back I'm gonna be constantly
Starting point is 00:44:15 reminded that I got to deal with picking up this phone would drive me crazy it would drive me crazy you're trying to sleep or just relax well obviously I'll put it in the other room when I'm trying to sleep but it's like this is my phone I'll put it in the other room when I'm trying to sleep. But it's like, this is my phone. And that's the thing because I'm not a slave to these devices like that. So as much as that is an inconvenience, it'd probably be more of an inconvenience if I was one of them dudes that just keep it by the, you know, all the time. So that's over there. But Kevin, I'll f*** you. Y'all shooting Real Husbands now.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Is this part of the show? Nah, it should have been I think we already had You know our storylines And stuff already put together Before that jumped off But we doing some big things With that like
Starting point is 00:44:51 Me and Kevin's pranks You guys And I really need y'all help To figure out What I should do next Because all of the shit I had planned Are not as good as this
Starting point is 00:45:00 Like I was doing dumb I was putting bubble bath In his pool Like I was doing I was doing rich inconven'm putting bubble bath in his pool I was doing rich inconvenience up one of his cars but like this was good cuz this inconvenience my life in the world got to be if I was like I got to rethink all that I was gonna do so I don't know Kev it's coming it's definitely coming I'm cooking up in the world go see now listen I know I saw you Howard Stern interview and you know I know we all have to embrace the fact that we're
Starting point is 00:45:28 not gonna be here forever right you know and I want to talk about that too cuz that was an interview from over five years ago and I was when I say I was fresh out the hospital like seven blood transfusions they you know the over people whispering in the corner, talking to my mama. You know what I mean? Like it was one of them times. And,
Starting point is 00:45:49 and that, and that was probably the third or fourth time I've been in a scenario like that. So when you're in that space, you get to, you have to come to those moments. You sitting up looking at the ceiling in the hospital, having weird dreams and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:46:02 I'm like, okay, this is, this is what it's like. It's about to go. I, I, I appreciate the time that I've had on this planet.
Starting point is 00:46:08 And then when you come out of it because of your resilience, you're in a different mindset as well. And then you get back to this space. I feel like there's, I call it spiritual portals. You know what I mean? When you're close to that portal, you're in a different zen mode of acceptance. And I was probably on that conversation. You know, we'd be talking and joking a lot of it because the mics cracked open.
Starting point is 00:46:29 But I was definitely probably in that space of like, it is what it is. You know, I had a good ride. How do you feel now? I'm probably because that was so far removed. I definitely appreciate each and every day. But I want to get the most out of life. But I don't know. I feel like that was a little dark i was in a darker space because i was truly fresh out of
Starting point is 00:46:50 the hospital and it's funny how because people there's just the media how people started seeing all of these stories about me and all these kids and then that interview popped up from five years ago and they're like oh that's what it is he he's having all these kids that's irresponsible in itself too and that's what somebody said to me somebody said he's just having all these kids that's irresponsible in itself too and that's what somebody said to me somebody said that Nick is having all these kids
Starting point is 00:47:08 but he thinks he's not going to be here long that's selfish nah that's not it is if I set out on some Thanos shit you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:47:16 like if I'm like oh well I'm not going to be here long so let me impregnate as many people as possible that's a very selfish mentality they took two different concepts and
Starting point is 00:47:25 kind of put them together and again i'm in therapy twice a week so when i i literally i went to my therapist and you know i'm like do i think am i moving like this is this why is it and two have nothing to do with each other like the my my concept on the time that we have in this realm and in experiences that we get to 75, 80, 85, hopefully, plus years that we get to see. I want to make the most out of them, but I'm not out here saying, oh, I want to go have as many kids and cover as much ground as possible. No, that's not. That was a while room in the room of that that you got young and made pregnant. That was a while. All of me. I mean again this is what we do we jokes like i'm i can't
Starting point is 00:48:10 wait for it like i i'm one of the probably people you've seen while and i got the toughest skin in the game there's no i don't think there's anyone who's ever upset me or i mean even our relationship over here we grew to be so close i'm like that's hilarious to me i'm not i'm not moved by that so i actually appreciate every joke and that's why i created wild it out right i've been getting rich off of y'all talking about me for decades how did you feel when your crew held you down on wild it out yeah dc young fly yeah i saw that pretty v chico carlo i mean they held you down they definitely did and i salute to. And that's when you build a strong unit, a strong family. That's what you're supposed to do. Staying solid.
Starting point is 00:48:49 I don't even think it had anything to do with me. They just solid people. Because there's a lot of people who did, you know, start tap dancing and got real flimsy out there. You know what I mean? I always say n****s want to be solid, but they ain't solid. You know what I mean? I salute that, you know, I'm surrounded by a team of solid individuals
Starting point is 00:49:06 but I don't knock anybody who make whatever decision they have to make because of their family. Get it? Everybody has different motivations so even, you know,
Starting point is 00:49:15 the people who were willing and, you know, jumped out there, that's what they did. You still mess with them though? Those people or you just sabotage?
Starting point is 00:49:23 I always say all the situations I go through, I think Dr. King talked about it, is like a kaleidoscope of character revelation. You can see people's true colors. You can step back and I don't hate you for you being who you are. I'm so glad I know who you are now. Because as the leader in the situation, I'm like,
Starting point is 00:49:44 do what's best for you I got this let me let me handle this I'm strong enough to stand firm on on my beliefs and my walk in this journey that I got to go through and I know the support is there because the support came from the real ones who called me so I was one of the first people I mean we got to figure this out we got it you know I mean like and even those times where I wasn't even accessible because I had to step out of the bubble for a minute to be like let me see what this is because I it was a point where I was public enemy number one to everyone yeah for me it was it
Starting point is 00:50:15 wasn't the professional stuff I you know you get through that it was like the person I'm like yo let's make sure Nick is good yeah and then crazy it was so man cuz I got to this space, man. And I'm never, like, I value life. But I've been into, I've mentally, physically, and spiritually been in places where I've been in some very dark places. We all have. To where I'm stuck. I'm in the mud.
Starting point is 00:50:37 And I can't move. So when you get to that space where you feel like it returns, all of those thoughts start coming. And you start thinking, like, well, if I can can't move is this it you know what i mean like you start thinking it's life better without me without because it's so painful of not being able to move if i just get out the way and then those dark thoughts and it's unfortunate because i had an artist that was signed to me and i watched him struggle so much with those demons and that mental anguish. And this man had been dealing with the pain of life for so long. And it got to a point where he did end up taking his own life.
Starting point is 00:51:15 And I'm like, man, I'm sitting here playing with it. And the fact that I'm stuck in this moment right here, I wasn't even able to communicate and connect with him during that time. And he took his life. And that happened literally like the second day all of this was going on. And that brought me out of it. I remember that, yeah. Because I was like, okay, the bullshit I'm going through, this man was experiencing so much pain. I've never experienced that. And so that's where you know, even, and I commend you and all the amazing work
Starting point is 00:51:46 that you do in the space of mental health because we don't talk about it enough. We don't deal with it because we all experience it. People are like, oh, you got a mental illness. I'm like, yeah, I do. But you don't? Let's bring all of our pain to the table and discuss it, as opposed to pointing
Starting point is 00:52:02 fingers at pain. And I've learned through that process, like, yo, what I'm going through is going to help somebody else. Alright, we got more with Nick Cannon when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking
Starting point is 00:52:17 it with Nick Cannon. Charlamagne? What advice would Nick Cannon give to Baby right now? Oh, yeah. Because course correction is fine, right? I think that's what we learned from your situation. There's yeah. Because course correction is fine, right? I think that's what you, that's what we learned from your situation. There's nothing wrong with course correction. First of all,
Starting point is 00:52:28 I think not only in the black community and I've experienced it, not only, but definitely just men a lot of times. We have that ego. We believe apologizing
Starting point is 00:52:41 is weakness. When it actually takes great strength to step up to anyone and say, I was wrong. A lot of times we think apologizing, like, I'm sorry, you feel bad. You can't be sorry someone's feeling.
Starting point is 00:52:55 No, you have to step up and say, ooh, I didn't handle that in a way that I'm not perfect. And that shows strength. I know, baby. And that's a strong brother. Absolutely. We've been through a lot. That was shows strength. I know, baby. And that's a strong brother. Absolutely. Who's been through a lot.
Starting point is 00:53:08 That was a lot of traumas. Yeah. Like, just the fact that that man not only just lost his pops, his brother, all the things that he instilled in me, had that big smile that he has every day, knowing everything that comes. Like, you know, I grew up in Charlotte, part of my life. I know that life. And I think it's the attack, though. And that can be part of ego. Like, you know, grew up in Charlotte part of my life I know that life I think it's the attack though and that could be part of ego like you know you do something wrong right and instead of having a conversation like we're
Starting point is 00:53:32 having now it's the attack now you want to cancel me now as a man I just want to be like y'all and now you can't say to me but in that and that's he he a fighter right we see we see his back against the wall he's swinging right he swing is just so he could get out of it so we all have to accept emotion and there's people that i had some very harsh conversations with initially that i'm we close now because we got to the after you chunk them up then like okay this was a misunderstanding i said and and i've i've had to have many of those conversations and i'm gonna continue. Those are great conversations. Yeah, because that's growth.
Starting point is 00:54:06 To say I'm sorry, that's a self-proclamation. You just, I'm sorry. That's not, to apologize is an action. You know what I mean? And to actually repent or atone is actually the next level, because now you're trying to understand. There's education involved with that. There's actually community involved with that. And that's the other thing, too, where I challenge all these people who want to cancel somebody.
Starting point is 00:54:28 And even specifically in the baby's situation, let's use this as an opportunity for education. Because that's what happened in my scenario to where I still stuck true to the truths. The minister told me this where he was like, I don't ever want falsehood to come out of my mouth so if I'm saying something that is not correct about your community show me where I'm incorrect help me understand because not only is that gonna help me but you're gonna help so many other people who think like me how do you feel about all those festivals pulling them off I feel like that's the wrong thing to do a hundred I don't agree with it just because it's like what statement is that making other than you're just following
Starting point is 00:55:05 it's groupthink it's mob rule mob rule has never worked in any society to where it's like oh well they did it we gotta do it
Starting point is 00:55:14 oh I can't lose this sponsorship if Pepsi pulled out Coke gotta pull out you know what I mean so then who are you really because you you can be knocked off there's a group that can
Starting point is 00:55:24 force you to do what you want to do with your brand. And it's unfortunate because when I don't, I think if we had sat down and had individual conversations, this is a moment where we should all gather around a baby and embrace them. Because if we can do that, watch how many mentalities will change in the hip hop community. First of all, you offend and then it's going to be consequences, and that person has to be held accountable.
Starting point is 00:55:47 But then you've got to give that person the opportunity to learn, and you use it as a teachable moment for everybody. And he's a great example of that because of all that he's been through. He's an intelligent person. There's other people out there, they say, wow, you ain't no helper. Don't save him. But someone like that, you can utilize him i guarantee
Starting point is 00:56:07 you he'd sit down and talk with madonna i guarantee you he'd sit down and talk with elton john i get and it wouldn't be for the bag he good but if this is an opportunity to take his fans on a journey and a lot of people don't even see it we see the polarizing conversation we see with somebody people being would he wrong though yeah yeah he was but but but there's certain things about it that we've been trained to think that that's right let's unpack that that's right because let's let's break it down we know what the baby was doing like as entertainers as dj you call yo if i'm, all the ugly people be quiet. I need all the bad bitches in the building to get to make some noise.
Starting point is 00:56:50 He just took it to a whole nother level. But again, it was some call and response because if you feeling like you the healthiest and the happiest you could be in the moment, you gonna make some noise. But what about the people who not feeling healthy? What about the people who do feel ugly
Starting point is 00:57:05 you know what i mean like damn you just called me out that was a trigger now i came i paid my good money and now people looking at me funny and we got to understand the power that we have as the people with the microphones but one of my my biggest problem i think was and i hate to single anybody out right i look But I look at Eminem, right? And Eminem has said, wow-ish. Still saying wow-ish. When you're standing over here, I know Nick about to shoot. No.
Starting point is 00:57:29 I'm serious. Shots out to Marshall. But then he did the thing with Elton John and everything was good, right? Right. Then a couple of years later, he went back to it. Continued to.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Three years later, actually. Three years ago. Yeah. So my whole thing was, I didn't see them pull anything from him. I never seen MTV say. We know the currency of Caucasian-ness. The complexion for the protection.
Starting point is 00:57:48 It seemed like they gave him a chance to redeem himself. They did it the right way with Marshall. But the baby just seems like. And I think it's too early because I think they will do it with the baby. They will. They will. The baby's not canceled. The baby's not over.
Starting point is 00:58:03 I pray he utilizes this moment and sees where this can actually turn around and be a good moment. I say, you know, I quote Dr. King every freaking day. But it's like where evil men plot good men plan, because these are conversations that need to occur. Right. It's crazy that we have to. And I don't know why, but it's always like this. It has to be something extreme that gets us to these conversations yeah whether it's about racism whether it's about sexuality whether it's about gender it's always our anti-semitism whatever it
Starting point is 00:58:32 is always something that happens that get us to have these conversations something extreme has to happen and that i think all that you've been through all that i've been through envy even the stuff that you you go through as well i think we have to be, you know, not the martyrs, but we're in a position because we can ignite those conversations and put them in the right direction. I know I'm going to get canceled again because I talk my real shit. And sometimes in a moment, I might say some shit where I didn't. I wasn't thinking about it. I was just trying to be funny. I was talking about this, but it was that.
Starting point is 00:59:04 I get canceled once a year. Charlemagne gets canceled about three times a year. it. I was just trying to be funny. Ah, f***. I was talking about this, but it was that. I get canceled once a year. Charlamagne gets canceled about three times a year. Yeah, I say something every week. And at this point, it's like, all right, the interrogators are out there. And I'm going to sit back. I ain't going to let you shake me. But let's talk about it. You know what I've learned to do, though?
Starting point is 00:59:20 I think I used to make a lot of definitive statements. Now I just ask the questions. Questions. Because I really do want to know. So I'm asking questions now instead of saying, this is what I think I used to make a lot of definitive statements. Now I just ask the questions. Questions. Because I really do want to know. So I'm asking questions now instead of saying, this is what I think. It's like, well, what if such as I like to ask questions? Yeah, that's all I got. Because then I'm opening up the conversation.
Starting point is 00:59:32 I say I have none of the answers and all the questions. All right, we got more with Nick Cannon when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The right back. I will always be an interrogator about your music. Yeah, you got that right there.
Starting point is 01:00:07 You know what? And I will get to that, too. You know the thing about my music is, like, it's funny to me because rhyming words ain't hard. We love Biggie because of the person he was. We love Pac because of the person he was. We love Rakim because of the person he was. The word rhyme scheme, We see anybody get... I don't know, Nick.
Starting point is 01:00:27 It's been kind of hard for you. Charlamagne. I've seen you try to rap. It's not hard to rhyme words. I never wanted to be the greatest rapper ever because I do so much. I can play seven instruments. I'm a musician. So hip hop, I salute everybody who can do it.
Starting point is 01:00:50 I'm a poet. Now, to be a great artist, now we want to talk about that. I'm here to be the best artist I can be. And I think when it's all setting down, when I'm going, oh, that could get down a little bit. That actually was talented.
Starting point is 01:01:02 Not for music. Everything else. I mean, everything. When I say everything else, everything else. Okay, okay. Let's talk this real quick. Are we saying, because I'll give you one of the others. Are we saying rap or music?
Starting point is 01:01:18 I've only heard you rap. Okay, say less. You never seen me play guitar? I saw the piece you did with, oh, what was the sister's name? Kiara Sheard. Kiara Sheard. That was dope.
Starting point is 01:01:29 I grew up in a church, Charlamagne. I could pick up any instrument in a church and play it. He's judging you off of Gigolo. Gigolo Wildfire. Gigolo. Okay. I like Gigolo. I don't care how hard you say the words.
Starting point is 01:01:41 You ain't gonna make that song. No more fire. You didn't like Can I Live, me and Anthony Hamilton? Me and Kanye produced it? I don't even remember that record. No more fire. You didn't like Can I Live me and Anthony Hamilton? Me and Kanye produced it? I don't even remember that record. I remember Jay-Z, Can I Live? Back to Mariah Carey, man. Versus. He's gonna hate on me forever and I love it because it's my friend.
Starting point is 01:01:56 I need this challenge. Just in the music. I support Nick in everything else he does. So Wild N' Out ain't music? Oh, Wild N' Out's fire. I produce every beat on that show. Every song you've heard, I wrote it. Even when they be doing the songs, like the Churchill. Who makes the beat? Where do you think the beat came from?
Starting point is 01:02:12 Every song, every music, everything you hear, I make. On the spot sometimes. Okay. Tell me about it. Tell me. I don't know. I feel it. So everything you ever see, anything sonically that's ever come out of that wine, I've made myself.
Starting point is 01:02:26 Wow. Okay. I didn't know. What do you say now? What do you say now? I support him in everything he does except for his rap career. I love Wild N' Out. Who doesn't love Wild N' Out?
Starting point is 01:02:38 Wild N' Out is a classic staple in our culture. Dizzy Van Winkle. And every time you came on Wild N' Out, I bodied you in the freestyle. Let's go to verse. No, I had a good ball one time my kids didn't look like me no no it was uh oh you're the bird man of tv and you need to pay all your louise oh yeah that was me off the top that's a lot off the top back to versus who could go against mariah? I don't think any. They were saying Mary. It's unfortunate. And we've only opened up this can.
Starting point is 01:03:09 But the only person who has the level of talent, and this would have never happened, the level of talent and hits. Whitney Houston? No. Because Mariah writes. That's why people got to understand. Mariah's a musician. I'm not impressed by people who can perform songs that it took 30 people to make
Starting point is 01:03:27 with you mmm that's a lot of people though that's gonna be Michael Jackson they can't stab it at somebody but no for that's Michael Jackson that's Beyonce exactly the greatest I'm tell you the greatest are the ones who can you could put somebody in a room by they damn self may come out with a hit that's what the Steve shots out to Stevie of the greatest like no one could ever do a versus with him and that's like that's literally he was one he was one of the real ones that called me that's like close friends and he and i have this conversation there's a different level you say i see what's going on with you making sure you're going to make me all the time
Starting point is 01:04:01 i'm like what's this for? Stevie B or you? He's looking at the phone when he first told me. He's so funny. He's like, yo, I'm driving. I got to go. I can't be driving and talking about the same song. No, but I'm impressed by artists like that. So only person in this day and age that could go,
Starting point is 01:04:26 that could've gone against Mariah Carey because she writes all of her songs, she actually produces all of her songs, she puts the songs together and performs them at a high level
Starting point is 01:04:34 are Kelly. But that ain't gonna happen. I just told you it's not gonna happen because of his personal endeavors and all the things. What do you mean? So for this era
Starting point is 01:04:42 or like, what do you mean? Because I'm thinking Prince based on what you said. Prince, but like even cause even people talk about like Mariah and Janet,
Starting point is 01:04:52 which on that level of diva, I would love to see it like the songs that we Mariah and Janet would be fire. But if we just talking about skill level,
Starting point is 01:05:00 like when we saw, you know, when, how we got excited for Dipset and the locks, like we we saw, you know, how we got excited for Dipset and the Locks, like, we talking about matching talents, because Mariah is a writer, and
Starting point is 01:05:11 has written more hits than anybody, only other person I could think of that has that ability that can sit down and make music on the spot was R. Kelly. She got help with some of her songs. I didn't know Mariah did all that. Wow. J.D., what did J.D. do then? He's a producer. But songs. I didn't know Mariah did all that. Wow. J.D., what did J.D. do then? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. He's a producer.
Starting point is 01:05:26 Okay, okay. But again, I've actually watched Mariah write out lyrics and say, I'm going to go put this to something. And then when you can perform it at a six octave level. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? And that's what I've, I watched R. Kelly do the same thing. And his was on some like savant shit though, like where he would literally be and then
Starting point is 01:05:47 five minutes later, it's a whole ass hit song. Obviously he had so many other problems and issues and pain in his life that we will no longer get to see him do that anymore. But we still gotta acknowledge the fact that the man was gifted.
Starting point is 01:06:03 He was gifted. But at that conversation. I don't think he's mad at that conversation. But at that level, when you think about the level of hits that he pinned and put together, other than Gigolo, because I don't think it was a hit.
Starting point is 01:06:17 I mean, it was a hit. Let's play it right now. You want to play Gigolo? I have bars in it. I was like, call me the scarecrow. I'm looking for some brain. That's a bar. Nick, we appreciate you for joining us.
Starting point is 01:06:29 Let's go. Let's play Jiggle. No, we're not. Now I don't even want to hear it. No, we're going to play. No, we're going to play. No, I'm going to play. No, I'm going to play.
Starting point is 01:06:36 It was 20 years ago. No, but Nick, no, for real, salute to Nick. You got to give Nick his flowers, man. Absolutely. We don't celebrate Nick enough in our culture. For everything that Nick does for black people. He keeps black people employed. He's put out a lot of black talent out here in this culture
Starting point is 01:06:49 over the years. This isn't nothing new. We're just getting started. And I know you're just getting started. So we gotta salute Nick Cannon. We do not give Nick Cannon his flowers enough, man. We really don't. I appreciate y'all, man. So let's do it. Nick Cannon. Don't give me no flowers. Plant some seeds. Ooh. Bars. Bars! It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. me no flowers. Plant some seeds. Bars. Bars.
Starting point is 01:07:06 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Hey, what up, y'all? It's DJ Envy, and our friends at Samsung have something big brewing over there, and I think it has to do with the new Samsung Galaxy. They keep saying, are you ready for this
Starting point is 01:07:21 life? Not sure what it means, but come August 11th, we're all going to find out. Learn more at samson.com slash reserve. Just don't be a donkey, because right now you want some real donkey shit. It's time for Donkey of the Day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heel. Did she get donkey in the name, please, Debbie? Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:07:43 I have become Donkey of the day. It's a breakfast club, bitches. You're a donkey. Yes, donkey of the day for Monday, August 9th goes to a woman in Russia whose name I can't pronounce at all. Looking at this name is like looking at an eyesight test chart in the doctor's office, and it's about the 10th and 11th line. My God. What's her name? Do we have the pronunciation?
Starting point is 01:08:04 Let me see. Ksenia Ochinikova. I think that's it. Spell it. K-S-E-N-Y-A. I don't know. Okay. Now, what does your Uncle Charlotte tell you ever so often on this here radio?
Starting point is 01:08:19 I tell you that every day of our lives, every day we wake up, an essential part of surviving on this third planet from the sun is avoiding crazy. And it's hard to avoid crazy. It's like a full-time job to avoid crazy because crazy can happen anywhere at any given time and you never seem to see it coming. No better example than Ksenia in Russia who is deciding that she wants to sue the fast food chain that has served billions and billions of us, McDonald's. This is so ironic because I had a dream about the Golden Arches last night. I literally had a dream, and in my dream I was guilt tripping myself because I was about to eat McDonald's, okay? In my dream I was going back and forth between ordering a quarter pounder with no cheese
Starting point is 01:08:57 or a two cheeseburger meal with a six-piece chicken McNugget, and I wanted my fries hot. This was in my dream. Doesn't make any sense though, because why would I want a quarter pounder with no cheese, but then be debating about, you know, whether or not to eat two cheeseburgers. Okay. The logic didn't make any sense, but it was all a dream. Okay. I had no idea what that dream meant, but if I woke up craving McDonald's, I can't blame anyone but my subconscious. And if I actually went to get McDonald's,
Starting point is 01:09:21 if I don't have the willpower to avoid eating McDonald's, well, whose fault is that? If I'm on some type of strict diet or if I have swore off fast foods, then it's all about me and my willpower. Nothing else. But this woman in Russia doesn't agree. She's clearly the type to never hold herself accountable for her own BS. We know the type
Starting point is 01:09:40 to blame everyone else for their issues. Zero accountability for the choices that she makes, because this woman is suing McDonald's because she claims that seeing a mouth-watering cheeseburger commercial made her break her fast during Lent. I can't make this kind of stuff up.
Starting point is 01:09:57 We all know what Lent is, right? The 40 days that precedes the celebration of Easter. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's a time when folks acknowledge the ways we turned away from God in our lives. And, you know, we focus our hearts and minds back toward God. And one of the pillars of Lent is fasting. So giving up something for Lent is a form of fasting. People cut out small pleasures and, you know, offer that sacrifice up to God.
Starting point is 01:10:21 Or they give up bad habits like drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, weed, etc. as a way of turning their life back toward God. Now, this woman clearly had a meal at McDonald's that didn't make her happy. And since she is a devout Christian, she is expected to forego meat, meat byproducts, poultry, eggs, and dairy. I never knew that. Okay, but according to the New York Post, this woman had fasted for a month and she was doing great until she saw a McDonald's banner advertising a cheeseburger and chicken nuggets.
Starting point is 01:10:49 Let me tell you something. I've watched the documentaries like Supersize Me. I've read the studies that say Mickey D's has unhygienic food. Maybe that's the reason Jake Gyllenhaal and Aston Kutcher don't bathe much because they are what they eat and they might eat a lot of McDonald's. I don't know. I've read how Ronald McDonald's house has excessive sodium, fatty acids and sugar in their foods i've seen it all but that does not negate the fact that mcdonald's cheeseburgers slap okay 313 calories of pure greatness all right that tangy pickle with the chopped onions ketchup mustard and that slice of melted cheese man
Starting point is 01:11:25 when you hide late at night on a weekend and nothing else open don't act like that two cheese big or two cheeseburger meal with some fries from mcdonald's doesn't make your life better okay you may regret it after but you just go hard in the gym that week or fast the next day whatever you got to do but we're not going to act like it's McDonald's fault that we can't resist. OK, this woman says despite successfully fasting for the last 16 years, she couldn't resist because she visited McDonald's and bought a cheeseburger. She's suing McDonald's for breaching consumer protection laws and insulting her religious feelings. Would you like to know how much she is suing McDonald's for? Would you like to know? Take a guess. Take a guess, Angelique. How much do you think she's suing McDonald's for?
Starting point is 01:12:07 If that was me, I guess I would say about $250,000. A quarter million. Okay. Like a quarter pounder. A quarter million for a quarter pounder. Envy, how much do you think she's suing McDonald's for? You got to go for the whole milli. Okay.
Starting point is 01:12:21 Okay. Angelique says a quarter million. Envy says a cool million. Well, million dollars. Million dollars. Well, she is suing McDonald's for fourteen dollars. Okay. I guess for the price is right. I would have beat Envy. Yes. Yes, you would have. Her quote in the actions of McDonald's. I see a violation of the consumer protection law. I asked the court to investigate and if a violation has taken place to actions of McDonald's, I see a violation of the consumer protection law. I asked the court to investigate, and if a violation has taken place, to oblige McDonald's LLC to compensate me for moral damage in the amount of 1,000 rubles, which is $14.
Starting point is 01:12:54 I don't know what's more ridiculous, the fact she's suing for $14, or the fact a cheeseburger and some nuggets in Russia cost $14. What did she get, a goddamn 40-piece and two cheeseburgers? Because don't know one cheeseburger and six nuggets cost no $14. The moral of the story is in life, you can't blame anyone but yourself. All right? Nobody else but you. You have to make your own choices and live every day with the consequences of said choices. Okay?
Starting point is 01:13:19 It may feel good to blame McDonald's for your dysfunction, but no. You have to take responsibility for your own life. McDonald's didn't do anything but what every other company does, and that's advertise. The advertising worked. You went in and bought exactly what you saw on the banner, which was a cheeseburger and some McNuggets. That don't got nothing
Starting point is 01:13:38 to do with McDonald's. That got to do with the fact that you got an inner fat person in you that you can't control. Alright? Please give please give Ksenia Let me see what the hell this is. to do with the fact that you got an inner fat person in you that you can't control all right please gave please give caseinia let me see what the hell is pretty much please settle that one they should please give caseinia ov chenikova the biggest hee-haw they can set a lot of pocket for that one. Imagine going to court to fight that. Can't even give her a gift card.
Starting point is 01:14:10 Y'all don't want to play a game? What? Y'all don't want to play a game? I can't even pronounce her name. Why would I try to guess her race? I just want to say, I mean, swimming McDonald's for $14, y'all don't want to play a game? I don't know what race she is.
Starting point is 01:14:21 She's Russian. I don't know. No. Okay. All right. Thank you for that donkey today. You can even pronounce her name. How can we even know?
Starting point is 01:14:28 Exactly. I mean, her name pronunciation doesn't have nothing to do with her race, right? You can see what she looks like. Well, her name is part of it. I don't know what race she is. Oh, you don't know which race she is? No. She's Russian.
Starting point is 01:14:37 All right. Messing up my Monday. I just wanted to play a little game. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Now, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Nick Cannon was on the show earlier.
Starting point is 01:14:48 Sorry I missed that one. Yeah, that was a crazy one. Last hour. And he said some things. Can we play what he said? That's a Eurocentric concept when you think about the ideas of like, you're supposed to have this one person
Starting point is 01:15:01 for the rest of your life. And really, that's just to classify property. I don't want ownership over anybody. I don't have ownership one person for the rest of your life and really that's just a classified property I don't want ownership over anybody I don't have ownership of any of the mothers or like we create families in that sense of we created a beautiful entity so I like I mean I get into it cuz I don't you know those are the concepts that a lot of people because we're so indoctrinated into it we have to have it this way. I don't subscribe to that. I actually think women are blessing us. Those women and all women are
Starting point is 01:15:29 the ones that open themselves up to say, I would like to allow this man in my world and I will birth this child. It ain't my decision. I'm following suit. Basically, that's Nick Cannon's explanation for having children by so many different women. I'm following suit. Basically, that's Nick Cannon's explanation for, you know,
Starting point is 01:15:45 having children by so many different women. He doesn't feel like he's a one-man type of person. He should be tied down to one woman. That's right. Let's open up the phone lines. Let's get your thoughts. 800-585-1051. What are your thoughts on what Nick Cannon just said?
Starting point is 01:15:59 And I just want to say this, that the views expressed by Nick Cannon does not reflect the views of Rashawn DJ, Envy Khalil Casey. Yes, and the views expressed by Nick Cannon does not reflect the views of Rashawn DJ, Envy Khalil Casey. Yes, and the views expressed by Nick Cannon do not reflect the views of Lenard McKelvey either. I'm a happily married man who pours all his energy into one woman and one woman only. Well, I'll tell you what I think when we come back.
Starting point is 01:16:17 Alright, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Pull out your, pull out your, pull out your phone. Call in right now. Call me. Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic. Break it down. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 01:16:53 Nick Cannon joined us earlier, and he was talking about being tied down with one woman. And this was what he had to say. That's a Eurocentric concept when you think about the ideas of, like like you're supposed to have this one person for the rest of your life and really that's just a classified property i don't want ownership over anybody i don't have ownership of any of the mothers or like we create families in that sense that we created a beautiful entity so i like i mean i get into it because i don't you know those are the concepts that a lot of people because we're so indoctrinated into it, we have to have it this way. I don't subscribe to that.
Starting point is 01:17:28 So we're asking 800-585-1051. What are your thoughts? Let's ask E.E. first. What do you think, E? Well, since I wasn't here, I'll say this. I think that people set up their relationships however they want to. If he has women that are down with that and cool with that, then that's on him. Now, me personally, that's on him now me personally
Starting point is 01:17:45 that's not how i would have my relationship i'm a very one-on-one type of person so i can't see that it would not happen for me but again i don't tell people how to run their relationships as long as everybody is in the know and willing and accepting of it then do your thing yeah i i agree with you um what nick Nick Cannon is doing and what he does would not work in my relationship. I'm happy in my relationship. But like you said, if that makes him happy and everybody's happy in that relationship and those women
Starting point is 01:18:14 are happy, that's on him. I'm not sharing my man. For me, nah, I'm good. And I'm definitely not sharing my woman. There's no way in hell. Nope. I can't even think about it. It's not gonna happen. Right, because Guillen might be like, actually. Shut up. I mean, listen, everybody's lifestyle is different.
Starting point is 01:18:30 Nick has been married before. Clearly, that's not his thing now. Whatever works for him is what works for him. I respect the fact he's being honest with those ladies. You know what I mean? Personally, I like pouring my love and my semen into one woman. End quote. Lenard McKelvey.
Starting point is 01:18:44 Now, why do you flirt with me every morning? Anyway, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Destiny. Hey, Destiny, what do you think about Nick Cannon's thoughts? There is an excuse for him to be a hoe. That's all. Plain and simple, a hoe.
Starting point is 01:19:00 You think you could see yourself being okay with that with anybody? No, not at anybody? No. Not at all. No. I mean, listen, I don't disagree with you, but the truth to the matter is, if he got women that's down for it, eh, he not doing nothing wrong. And you're right about that.
Starting point is 01:19:17 That's on them. Me? Uh-uh. Ain't gonna happen. I'm not gonna be one of your numbers. Yeah, I feel you, boo. I'm right, mama. I need all the attention. You ain't going to tell me, oh, I got to go be with her. Mm-mm. Nope. Everything.
Starting point is 01:19:29 Hello, who's this? Hi, this is Melinda from the Bronx. Melinda from the Bronx. What do you think about Nick Cannon's thoughts and what he said? I think he just wants to leave him and use his dangling back. That's what I told him I said I respect that game He running on them women
Starting point is 01:19:47 Cause whatever he's selling They buying Exactly It's your game I get it I guess Right You can find anybody Who's down for anything
Starting point is 01:19:56 By the way Cause there's a lot of guys Out here who are not honest And doing that Very same thing But they're sneaking around And lying about it And it could be just easier
Starting point is 01:20:03 If they just told the truth That's why I said I respect the fact that he's being honest. Because I know I was never that honest in my day. Is this the new thing, though? Because Sean Kingston said it the other day that he does the same thing. Nick Cannon does the same thing. Is this the new thing? Is this the
Starting point is 01:20:18 end thing? What did Sean Kingston do? Well, Sean Kingston, I think he did have a relationship with one person, and now he's single. So while he's single, he does what he wants, but in a relationship, he wouldn't. I mean, I do think at some point in our society, right here in Western civilization, polygamy is going to be a thing.
Starting point is 01:20:35 I do feel that way at some point. Do you really? I do. I'll probably be too old to enjoy it, but I think it'll happen one day. Enjoy what? No. Huh? Never mind. 800-585-1051 we're talking nick cannon this is what he said about uh being tied down to one woman that's a eurocentric concept when you
Starting point is 01:20:54 think about the the ideas of like you're supposed to have this one person for the rest of your life and really that's just to classify property i don't want ownership over anybody i don't have ownership of any of the mothers or like we create families in that sense we created a beautiful entity so i like you know i get into it because i don't you know those are the concepts that a lot of people because we're so indoctrinated into it we have to have it this way i don't subscribe to that what are your thoughts call us i love that all these women are calling in and expressing themselves about this. Let's go. Call me.
Starting point is 01:21:37 Add your opinion to the Breakfast Club Topic. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Gee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now if you just joined us, we're talking about Nick Cannon. He stopped through earlier and this is what he said about being tied down to one person.
Starting point is 01:21:55 That's a Eurocentric concept when you think about the ideas of like, you're supposed to have this one person for the rest of your life. And really that's just a classified property i don't want ownership over anybody i don't have ownership of any of the mothers or like we create families in that sense that we created a beautiful entity so i like i mean i get into it because i don't you know those are the concepts that a lot of people because we're so indoctrinated into it we have to have it this way i don't subscribe to that that. Hey, man, whatever Nick's selling, people buying. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:22:26 I don't knock anybody's lifestyle just because it's different from mine. Yeah, but we've heard this before. We've heard it. Sean Kingston said it last week. Michael Blackson and his relationship, Akon allegedly in their relationship. Well, let's be clear. Michael Blackson is getting married now, so I don't think he's going to still be doing those same things.
Starting point is 01:22:42 That was her main thing. Her main thing was that she felt disrespected. That's why they broke up. No, but I thought he said they agreed to only one. One, one, one. I think he was joking. No, I don't think he was joking. I don't think he would joke like that.
Starting point is 01:22:53 I do, I do. You follow him on Instagram? I don't think he's joking. I don't know. But like I said, I don't knock nobody for their lifestyle. Whatever works for them is what works for them. I just know what works for me and what works for me. That doesn't work for me.
Starting point is 01:23:03 Yeah, what works for me is giving my all to my wife. That's it. Let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? It's Greg, man. What's up, Greg? Uh-oh, Greg. What's your thoughts, Greg? I think that man tripping, man. I don't know, man.

Starting point is 01:23:31 I mean, he said that, you know, he said time is a man-made concept. So he will always have time to be. But I will say, man, a lot of people that go broke, like these pro athletes that made all this money, it's because of having all these children to support. So he's just got to make sure he keeps it going. Yeah, I highly doubt Nick gonna go broke.
Starting point is 01:23:48 Nah, Nick ain't gonna break. I mean, there's a lot of people that had lots of money. Child support ain't no joke. Yeah, but Nick has had money for 25, 30 years.

Starting point is 01:26:49 The Breakfast Club. Well, Styles P and Cameron had quite a viral moment during their verses. Now, Cameron was sitting down in the chair and he kicked Styles P. It looked like Styles P wanted to drag him off the chair by his sneaker. And here's what they had to say on Instagram addressing that. I said, Killer kicked me on the head? Did he kick me again? I said, I love Killer. No, when you did that, I said, I love Killer. I said, are we a Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage? I thought we were.
Starting point is 01:27:30 I thought we were. But look, look, early before the fight, I said, Killer, we getting chippy in there. I didn't say chippy, what? The DVD version of that versus with all of the deleted scenes and bonus footage is incredible. Yeah, there's a lot of moments that I'm sure will continue to be discussed from that versus. All right. Now, Love and Hip Hop Miami. Are y'all ready for this next season?
Starting point is 01:27:56 Well, here is the super trailer that just dropped. I'm on a whole new mission. New records, new music. It's your boy N.O.R.E. Big Chance. Y'all will make some noise. We want to show love to our legends. It's your boy N.O.R.E. Big Chance, Yappie, I will make some noise. We want to show love to our legends. It's the moment.
Starting point is 01:28:09 I'm trying to figure out if I want to keep focusing on the music or just invest more time in my real estate. I'm Ace Hood, platinum recording artist. Part of my journey now is raising the frequency of the minds of black men. Okay, my guy, the Yala. The Yala's on Love & Hip Hop Miami this season? Yes. N-O-R-E?
Starting point is 01:28:26 N-O-R-E and Nary. Nori and Nary. Okay. Also, I see Ace Hood, you know, is on there. Ace Hood was on there before, right? Yeah. So that'll be nice, him and his wife. I think it's going to be going Trick Daddy and Trina back again.
Starting point is 01:28:39 Okay. I think Bobby Lights is back on again. Follow his OnlyFans. All right. Now, OJ Simpson. This is interesting. Now, he recently did an interview. And in that, he was talking to The Athletic about basically being in L.A.
Starting point is 01:28:55 He said, I have trouble with L.A. People may think this is self-serving, but I might be sitting next to whoever did it. I really don't know who did this. Who did that talk in there? OJ Simpson. Did what? The murders of his former wife,
Starting point is 01:29:10 Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Okay. He said, I figured eventually somebody would confess to something, you know? I had one suspect
Starting point is 01:29:16 I told my lawyers to look at. I still think he might involve, but I can't talk about it. But he did say he has a good life after being released in 2017 after a nine-year sentence over armed robbery and kidnapping felonies. He does know he don't have to talk about this, but he did say he has a good life after being released in 2017 after a nine-year sentence over armed robbery and kidnapping felonies. He does know he don't have to talk
Starting point is 01:29:28 about this, right? Like, who is he trying to convince? Himself? He's sitting next to the person. Exactly. Like, why would you even bring that up in conversation? Yeah, I don't know. Because he thinks that whenever people see him, that's what they're automatically thinking. Right. Which is true, but still. Sheesh. Alright,
Starting point is 01:29:44 Tashina Arnold has filed for divorce. Now, she split from her husband at the beginning of 2016 after his sex tape scandal with another woman. But now she has pulled the trigger on officially ending that marriage. So she has filed for divorce from Rico Hines this week. And it's been five and a half years since they separated. So, yes. When will it take so long? I was just talking about that because I was asking somebody in the room.
Starting point is 01:30:09 I was like, what do you think it takes so long when somebody knows they're not going to be together? And so sometimes it could be maybe you think you might reconcile. So you take your time with it. It's also financially you have to pay lawyers. So maybe sometimes people are like, I don't feel like, you know, paying for this. I could just live my separate life here while this person's over there until we can figure it out. But you do have to pay lawyers
Starting point is 01:30:28 when you separate. Mm-hmm. So it could be any of those things. All right, now Mike Tyson has revealed on a recent episode of Hot Boxing with Mike Tyson that he does not want his son,
Starting point is 01:30:38 Amir Tyson, to box. I have my kid, he's 24. He wants to do this so bad. He wants to box. So bad, so man,
Starting point is 01:30:47 just chill the f*** out, okay? He wants to fight Logan Paul and those guys. Oh, he wants some of that? Oh, he wants to do that,
Starting point is 01:30:53 but I said, man, you have to get a job, you have to get a real estate license, man, you don't want nothing to heat,
Starting point is 01:30:57 man, I'm telling you. Just drive people to commit suicide getting humiliated in front of millions of people. You got to be able
Starting point is 01:31:03 to take that pressure and heat. Not many people could do it, man. He's right, though. You got to be a different breed. It's a different type of pressure, especially when you are, you know, think about how big Mike Tyson was, and then when he suffered that defeat, the Buster Douglas,
Starting point is 01:31:16 what that must have done to him psychologically. And then people just talk crazy about you, and it's a one-on-one type of sport. So it ain't like the team lost. Exactly. It's you lost, you know, so that's not an easy thing to do. That's why the bounce back is so beautiful. That's why when you see somebody come back from that type of defeat and, you know, regain a championship, whatever,
Starting point is 01:31:34 we salute it so much and celebrate it so much. All right, now, Raquel Palmer. Remember her? She put up that billboard trying to get Tyler Perry's attention. Attention, Mr. Perry. Raquel Bailey is your next leading lady. And that was her way of getting his attention. And it was a lot of people discussing it.
Starting point is 01:31:50 Some people felt like that's not the way to do it. Tyler Perry even said that wasn't the way to go about it. Well, now here's some good news for her. She is actually starring in a movie. She's got a TV show. She's got the leading role on a television show, All the Queen's Men, his upcoming show. So she said they've never talked about that billboard.
Starting point is 01:32:11 They've almost pretended like it never happened. And see, the thing is, what was the process in those two years, though? That's what we need to know. What was she doing? Was she auditioning? Was she taking acting lessons? I'm sure there was other things that she was doing
Starting point is 01:32:23 in these two years. And that's what we want to know. We want to know the process. Because some people hear the story and they be like, oh, she put up a billboard and two years later she's starring in a Tyler Perry production. Like, no. There was a process in between that. But I do feel like someone that goes through all that to get seen,
Starting point is 01:32:37 I would hope that that means you're also doing the work behind the scenes. Because it does feel like if you're spending money on that, you're serious and invested into your career. So it's not like you just put up a billboard and then that's that. Absolutely. But that work behind the scenes. Absolutely. Because it does feel like if you're spending money on that, you're serious and invested into your career. So it's not like you just put up a billboard and then that's that. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:32:47 But that work behind the scenes has to be talked about. It has to be shown because that's what's always missing from social media. People just always see the end result. They don't see that process.
Starting point is 01:32:56 I want to see that process. All right. Now, Frank Ocean has unveiled that he has Homer now. It's a luxury jewelry line and store. It kind of came out of nowhere. It's an independent American luxury company that he founded. And it's a luxury jewelry line and store. It kind of came out of nowhere. It's an independent American luxury company that he founded,
Starting point is 01:33:07 and it's comprised of fine and high jewelry pieces, plus printed silk scarves. So the pieces are handcrafted using 18-karat gold, recycled sterling silver, hand-painted enamel, and American lab-grown diamonds. So you can go to Homer.com if you want to see that catalog.
