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

It is also Hump Day.
Yes, it is also Hump Day.
But today is Jay-Z's birthday.
The Hove, the goat, turns 50 today.
Happy birthday, Jay-Z.
Wow, wow, wow, wow.
All right, happy birthday, Jay-Z.
I walked in today, you know, Eddie, our producer.
You got a million bucks.
Eddie, our producer.
I said, yo, we're going to play a Jay-Z joint every hour.
He was like, why?
I said, we did it for Diddy's birthday. He says, Hove's not 50. I said, yes, he is. to play a Jay-Z joint every hour. He was like, why? I said, we did it for Diddy's birthday.
He says, Hov's not 50.
I said, yes, he is.
We got to do it for Hov, too.
Okay.
What's up, Ye?
What's up?
What's up?
Let me send a congratulations to one of my wife's best friends.
Her name is Ingrid.
She had her first baby today or this morning.
Congratulations.
So it's weird.
You know, you sleep with your wife every night.
So this morning... I don't.
Oh, well, I know you don't.
A lot of people don't,
but they don't sleep with my wife.
I was with my wife,
and usually when I wake up,
I roll over to her.
A lot of people.
So this morning I rolled up,
and she wasn't there.
I got scared.
I said, what the...
And then I remembered she was at the hospital.
Well, congratulations, Ingrid.
She had a baby boy.
So congratulations to Ingrid.
Give her a round of applause.
Yay.
All right.
Well, yesterday I went to go see Sir perform. Oh, how was that? Oh, it was amazing. He's to Ingrid. Give her a round of applause. Yay. Alright, well yesterday I went to go see Sir perform.
Oh, how was that? Oh, it was amazing. He's a
great performer. So it was nice
to be out. It was a sold out show.
It was packed. It was crazy.
And you know, his brother D Smoke
got up there and performed with him. Also SZA was there.
Okay. She said she
I guess due to weather she was stuck
here because she's from New Jersey. Right, right, right.
So she came out with her mom.
That's dope.
That's nice.
So it was nice.
It was a good night.
You know, I don't go out like late at night if I can help it.
But I was like, I can't not go.
Like, he's in Brooklyn.
That's dope.
You know, I want to see Sir perform.
It's my type of vibe.
So shout out to Baby Sam also for inviting me and Gio.
That's pretty dope.
And also, you know, of course, it's Christmas time.
It's the time of giving.
So every year what we do is I get these notes from kids
of things they want for Christmas.
So yesterday I got five notes
from five different kids in Queens.
And I'm reading the list
and I'm thinking I'm going to see dolls.
I'm going to see Legos.
I'm going to see this.
I heard you reading the list.
You heard me, right?
Like kids were asking for socks.
They were asking for pants
and asking for shirts, asking for Nikes.
I was like, wow.
Like, as a kid, and these were 7-year-olds, 8-year-olds, 6-year-olds.
I'm like, don't you want a doll?
You know, an Avengers Lego set?
So I felt really bad last night.
Like, I felt really, like, for a kid to ask for socks.
It's Christmas time, and you're asking somebody, can you just give me a pair of socks?
I felt really, really bad.
So I got them the Legos,
the socks, the pants.
I got everything.
That's dope.
So I was very excited about that.
I'm going to do more of that,
not just in Christmas time,
throughout the year
for kids that need something
that they just might not have.
And just answer their letters.
It doesn't have to come from me
or say it comes from me,
but just to send a box
to the house
with all that stuff
was pretty dope.
So I had to mail it out.
And I think actually shipping all that stuff out
might have cost just as much as buying all the stuff.
Well, you should have did all the free shipping stuff.
You do it online and send it directly to them.
It's not free.
Yeah, it is.
They did a lot of free shipping.
It was Cyber Monday.
Cyber Monday, by the way,
was the biggest shopping day in Amazon's history.
You could have got free shipping on everything.
I should have thought of that.
I went to the store mall and bought everything.
Put them in different boxes and sent them out. And they'll wrap it
for you and everything. It's a gift. I definitely
didn't wrap it now. Yeah, but it really helped you.
It came kind of. I put it in a Home Depot box
and I put all the stuff in the
box and I just sent it out. Okay.
Alright, well let's get the show cracking.
The Simmons kids will be joining us this morning.
Angela, Vanessa,
and JoJo, they'll be joining us this morning, of course
from Growing Up Hip Hop. So we gotta
talk to them in a little bit. And then we got
front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Well, Kamala Harris
has ended her 2020 presidential
campaign. I think we could feel that
this was about to happen. Yeah,
we've seen it coming. And did you call Kid Capri
back, Eddie?
All right, Kid Capri hit me yesterday.
He was pretty upset with you, Eddie.
Making sure.
All right, well, let's get into a Hov joint.
It's Hov's birthday.
It's public service announcement.
Happy birthday, Hov!
It's the Breakfast Club.
Leave me alone.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. Where do we start,vy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get
in some front page news. Where we start with Yee? Well, let's start with Kamala Harris. She has
ended her 2020 presidential campaign. As we know, she was having a lot of financial issues as far
as fundraising and she was having issues within her own staff. People saying that they were treated
poorly. If you remember, one of her aides actually quit and wrote a letter about that.
She launched her campaign, though, to high expectations,
and she's had high numbers, and she actually already had qualified
for the December debates, so people were a little shocked
that she left this early.
But they said, you know, it's actually good for her to regroup, restructure,
and also make sure that she doesn't have a poor showing in her own
home state because that would have looked really bad for her and probably would have had longer
lasting political consequences. Now she did release this video. So here's the deal, guys.
My campaign for president simply does not have the financial resources to continue. I'm not a
billionaire. I can't fund my own campaign. And as the campaign has gone on, it has become harder and harder to raise the money we need to compete.
My dear supporters, it is with deep regret, but also with deep gratitude that I am suspending our campaign today.
But I want to be clear with you. I am still very much in this fight.
And I will keep fighting every day for what this campaign has been about.
Justice for the people. I mean, I would have loved to see Kamala run against Donald Trump.
I really like her. I love the fact that she's aggressive. I know a lot of people were mad at
her because she was a prosecutor and couldn't get over the things that she did as a prosecutor,
which was prosecuting criminals. I just thought she was great, and I love the fact that she gave hope
to a lot of African-American young girls out there,
the fact that they can look at somebody and be like,
wow, I can be president.
Like, my son can look at somebody and say,
hey, I can be president like Barack Obama.
I really like that.
I wish I had billions of dollars, because I definitely would support her.
So would that have been the person that you would have wanted to see win?
I mean, I was going Democrat regardless,
but I would have loved to see her go against Trump.
I mean, as far as the nominee, you would have backed Kamala Harris over everybody else.
I would back any Democrat, but I definitely would have backed Kamala Harris, yes.
All right, now, she also, Donald Trump tweeted out, of course, he said, too bad, we will miss you, Kamala.
And she responded, don't worry, Mr. President, I'll see you at your trial.
Yeah, she wants that smoke.
And, you know, I really feel like she would have had,
she would have got that smoke with Donald Trump.
It wouldn't have been easy for Donald Trump just to walk all over her.
Well, as she said, that she will still continue to be working.
And she said, I'm still very much in this fight.
She'll be fighting every day for what the campaign has been about,
justice for the people.
How is Cory Booker's numbers?
His numbers were lower than hers.
So he's still in it, though.
So we'll see. And he's also got this
HBCU plan right now
that he's been talking about that we'll get more into
as well. But he has a
$100 billion plan for HBCUs.
Okay. Alright, now also
I thought this was interesting. A winning lottery
ticket for $14.6 million
just went unclaimed in
Arizona. Can you imagine?
Tickets expire after 180 days.
Now, that winning ticket was sold June 5th in Goodyear, Arizona.
So that person had until December 2nd at 5 p.m. to claim the prize,
and the deadline came and went.
So now that $14.6 million is just out there somewhere.
You know, I'm one of those people.
If I go to a gas station and I see the lotto's a lot of money,
I might just buy five tickets and keep it moving,
and then I always forget to check it.
I put it in my glove box or I put it in my car somewhere,
and then I always forget about it.
I mean, I don't live in Arizona,
but I definitely could have won some money before and not claimed it.
Absolutely.
That's a weird thing to do.
Let me tell you something.
I'll be checking them numbers online immediately as they get released.
Because sometimes you might pick up a ticket on a
Tuesday and the drawing's Thursday, so you forget about it
and it's in your car. I set my alarm for everything.
I set an alarm.
Alright, well that is your Front Page News.
Alright, get it off your chest.

If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe you had
a bad night, horrible morning, or

Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete.
Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson the First, King of Kaperburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory. Well, why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.
Oh my God.

It sounds like a bunch of kids.
Well, I have three.
He's the only one screaming.
How old is he?
He's seven weeks.
Oh, yeah, you can't.
You just got to let him scream.
You just got to give him some milk.
He probably just wants some milk or you got to change his pamper.
Yeah, well, I was just calling because I am blessed and highly favored.
I want to spread positivity, tell everyone to go into their day with a smile on their face,
stop tapping their step.
And, you know, always try to find the good in everything that happens.
Okay.
Good.
I agree with that.
There's always a positive side to every lesson that you learn when things don't go the way you expect.
Yes.
And you all have given me some sound advice, and I really appreciate it.
You all are very encouraging, and I thank you all for everything you do every day.
We appreciate you.

All right.
Hello, who's this?
This is Lisa.
Hey, good morning, Lisa.
Get it off your chest.
Morning.
I just wanted to say, DJ Envy, you are doing a fabulous job with your seminar.
I went to the seminar in Houston, but I just want to know, I live in Dallas, though.
Are you going to do one in Dallas?
Yeah, I think we're going to do one in Dallas this year.
We're going to do a lot of markets that we weren't able to touch.
So many people have been hitting me.
They've been getting overcharged for real estate knowledge.
So the fact that we can help people in those markets, we're definitely going to try.
So, yes, to answer your question, we will be in Dallas.
And let me shout out ProStyle.
ProStyle, he works at our station here in New York City, Power 105.
He picked up his first investment home yesterday,
a three-family that we helped him with.
So shout out to ProStyle.
I love to see people really investing
and creating generational wealth for their family.
Did you get your property yet?
Did you buy a property yet?
No, not yet.
I'm still looking.
I'm on action.com as we speak right now.
But, yeah, I'm looking.
And actually on the news this morning, they said here that our properties were going to be limited
because people are holding on to their homes much longer
and that we got this big surge of people coming here
and they're just buying up
property like crazy.
So I got to get in the mix.
You guys are right.
Yeah, I'm looking right now.
But yeah, Angela,
I'm sorry I missed your lip service
when you came to Dallas.
Oh, that's okay.
It was a good time,
but I'm sure we'll be back.
Yeah, I love you too.
I listen to all your podcasts.
Is Charles right now?
Not yet. He's running late. Okay, I love you too. I listen to all your podcasts. Is Charles right there? Not yet. He's running
late. Okay, of course.
Okay. Alright.
Thank you guys. I love the Breakfast Club.
And thank you for coming to the seminar.
Okay, thank you. Bye. Alright.
Now, don't forget, we have another seminar coming up December
15th in New York City. It's actually the last one.
We're doing it at the Jacob Javis Center,
which is probably one of the biggest
venue places in the country.
I used to go to the car show there.
I used to go to so many different things.
So the fact that we're closing out the year there is pretty dope.
So just if you want information or you want to learn about it, just click the link in my bio.

Hello, who's this?
What up?
It's me, Angelo.
What up?
I go to Arvin State University.
I don't know why they love saying they're going to do something for HBCU.
50% of the people in my school are white.
Why they love bringing that?
And everybody don't go to college.
They always donate to HBCU.
A lot of these HBCUs is now predominantly white.
I don't know if y'all know that.
I don't know what HBCUs that you're checking out,
but when I do my tour, which I do every year,
and I hit up FAMU, North Carolina, Honest State,
or it's Hampton, or it's Howard, or it's Morgan,
or it's any of those schools.
When I go to those schools, it's not nowhere near.
Yeah, I don't think that's an accurate number that you just threw out there.
Yeah, to be honest, it's half-white.
It's other people from other cities that's coming in that don't go to college
that you see at these probably concerts
and all these little events they be throwing.
Nah, I don't know what you're talking about, sir.
Yeah, I don't think that's it.
I don't think that's correct.
There are more white students going to HBCUs.
It ain't no half.
It ain't half, bro.
Come to Harmony State.
You'll be shocked.
This ain't the 90s no more.
I'm looking right now.
It says 13% are white, 3% are Hispanic, and 1% are Asian.
I went to Hampton.
All the white students were in the row class.
Are you in the rowing class, sir?
No, I'm not.
All right.
Well, I don't know.
It says within HBCUs, 83 percent of students are African American.
I don't know where.
You got to come there.
You'll see it.
How old are you?
How old are you, bro?
I'm 27 years old.
27?
And you still go to HBCU?
That's the problem right there.
Goodbye, sir.
He's 27 years old, still going to HBCU? That's the problem right there. Goodbye, sir. He's 27 years old,
still going to HBCU.
And there's nothing wrong
with higher education
at any point in your life.
You've seen the cannons
going to Howard.
Yeah, you're right.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, good morning.
Peace and blessings, guys.
How you guys doing?

Yeah, you guys should look at the trending hashtag Whole50.
There's so many different facts about Jay-Z, and he's 50 years old today, as we know.
And another thing that happened today is he has released his entire catalog to Spotify for his 50th birthday.
So you no longer have to just have that title subscription to listen to his entire catalog to Spotify for his 50th birthday. So you no longer have to
just have that title subscription to listen
to his back catalog online.
In honor of his birthday, he put his entire
discography on Spotify.
Well, happy birthday to Hov, man.
He's a legend. I think he's the greatest
of all time, in my opinion. I think he's the best
that ever did it.
It's kind of where I got my start with the mixtape
game, because I used to do all the Rockefeller mixtapes.
So shout to Hov, shout to Big, shout to Dame,
shout to Lenny S, shout to G Robeson.
I appreciate those guys over there.
You want to shout out Tata?
Oh, Tata, Hip Hop, and all of them as well.
Memphis Bleak?

Oh, man.
That's all I got for right now.
Okay.
All right.
Just checking.
All right. Now, since we That's all I got for right now. Okay. All right. Just checking. All right.
Now, since we're doing things Jay-Z related, in other news, Damon Dash, he is able to come up with that entire $950,000.
Because, as you know, Lee Daniels owed him some money.
So now he's going to use that money from Lee Daniels that Lee Daniels owed him to pay for his child support.
So that's how he's managed to come up with the settlement plan.
And there you have it.
You know, that was a settlement over a $5 million lawsuit that Damon Dash had filed against Lee Daniels.
And so now they'll be paid in full thanks to that money he's owed.
I'm happy for Damon.
I'm happy with what Damon's doing.
He has a website that I know that just launched that's doing pretty well.
He has a streaming service.
He has grown-up hip-hop.
And we do have the Simmons kids on
today. Yes, we do. So I'm happy for Dave.
Alright, now, and more Jay-Z related
news, people around him. Beyonce's
dad, Matthew Knowles,
he's letting people know that before there was
Destiny's Child, there was another group
called Girls' Time, and
he was on TMZ Live. He was talking
about the new book he has and the Girls'
Time album that he just released.
And here's what he had to say about it.
They had performances but never released music.
Yes, that's accurate.
They were on Star Search, which is equivalent to American Idol, in 1992.
And they had an album but never put this out.
I actually bought the master to this project
in the early 2000s.
And I did that because I didn't want
it interfering with Destiny's Child
work. But we're now putting that out.
But I also put out yesterday
the book, Destiny's Child
The Untold Story.
Yeah, so the Girls Time was a group
that was pre-Destiny's Child
and it had more than 30 members.
And so they were on Star Search, and he had music, and he owns the masters to the music, and so that's out now.
And then he also has the book.
I wonder how Beyonce and the girls feel about that.
I didn't see them post it.
You know, that's the thing.
It's like, you gotta get to a point where it's like, that's your daughter.
Do you care about your daughter and how she feels and how her career is?
And do you care if she would even want that out? Like, I hope I never get to a situation where I'm just doing stuff that my daughter might not like
or my daughter might not appreciate.
I'm sure you've done that.
No, definitely haven't.
Definitely.
Definitely haven't.
But, like, you get to the point where Matthew knows you managed him.
You should be fine.
Well, maybe he's had a conversation.
I don't know.
Like, maybe he did say, I'm doing this.
You know, I would like, who knows?
It seems like to me, and it's just to me, it seems like Rihanna's dad and Beyonce's dad
always does the most.
It just seems like that to me.
But we, again, don't know what goes on behind the scenes.
Like, I know with Matthew Knowles,
maybe he did talk to them.
And then, you know, he did have his breast cancer diagnosis
earlier this year that he talked about.
And here's what he, oh, oh, before that, though, I'm sorry.
Let's play this Girl' Time snippet,
one of the songs from the album he just put out.
Oh, boy.
Put it in the mix, baby.
This sounds straight 80s.
Well, it's old.
Oh, my goodness.
Hey! Have a slumber party We'll be a little naughty Turn up my mustaries And turn up all the lights
Play some silly games
And have a pillow fight
There's a reason why they didn't want that out.
There was a reason why it never came out.
That was trash.
That sounds straight up and down.
I'm sure at that time it might have went.
That time it might have been popping.
That didn't make you want to have a slumber party
and a pillow fight? Some girls time? might have went. That time it might have been popping. Yeah. That didn't make you want to have a slumber party and a pillow fight?
No.
Some girls time?
No.
All right.
Well, he also talks about his cancer-free diagnosis on TMZ Live, and here's what he said.
I found this extremely early why I focus more on telling folks about the benefits of early detection.
Today, gratefully, I'm cancer-free today.
I love that conversation.
I love talking to men about, you know,
checking themselves early to make sure they can prevent cancer,
but releasing music and doing books, why?
I mean, he owned a master, so I guess he had the right to do it,
and he decided to do it.
I don't know.
People look at family differently.
Like, if you're my family, I don't want to do nothing to hurt you,
to upset you, to piss you off.
Maybe she's not upset.
I don't know.
She would have posted it.
She would have been like, check out my dad's
new book. This is my dad's new book. Go support
it and buy it. Let me go look at her page and see because she don't
post much. All right. I'm Angela Yee
and that is your rumor report. All right.
Guess whose birthday it is?
Shout out to my friend Aaron Burke.
Happy birthday, girl. No, I'm talking
about Jay-Z. When we come back, we got
front page news and we're going to play
Jay-Z Big Pimpin'. Of course got front page news. And we're going to play Jay-Z, Big Pimpin'.
Of course, Pimp C is on that.
Rest in peace to Pimp C.
Today is the anniversary of his passing.
So when we come, we're going to play Top of the Hour.
Then we're going to play Big Pimpin'.
And let me know your favorite Hov joints.
We're going to be playing Hov joints all morning long.
Let's go.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
Where we starting with Yee?
And before you do that, I just want to, since you talked about Pimp C,
I saw that Bum B just did a UGK New Era hat.
The first recipient was Meg Thee Stallion.
Oh, that's pretty dope.
I just saw him post it, that's why.
That's dope.
And you were playing that at the same time.
All right, now, Carmelo Anthony, let's discuss an interview that he did with ESPN's Rachel
Nichols. It aired
yesterday, and he was talking about how he was really
ready to walk away from the NBA.
What did you hear about yourself?
Selfish, bad teammate,
bad locker room guy.
Early, that was, that's what was, you know,
that was cutting deep, and it was just like, why?
And I have prepared myself
to kind of just walk
away from the game if the right situation didn't come about i mean because it's hard like waking up
every morning not knowing what to expect not knowing what to do not knowing what to work on
you know wanting to give up hope wanting to give up faith and belief and just like
you know just forget this whole basketball thing. That is dope, isn't it?
That is amazing.
Portland Trailblazers, and he's also saying that he's looking forward to Friday's game against the Lakers.
Yes.
Because you'll be playing LeBron.
I just want to say from the start, I told you that Carmelo was good enough to be in the league.
I told you guys that the league was doing him dirty.
Everybody who came up here who had a little influence, I always asked about Carmelo.
I'm happy he's playing.
I'm happy he's doing well.
I just really wish that he would have went back to the Knicks because I'm a Knicks fan, but that's okay.
That's okay.
I don't know.
Was he happy on the Knicks?
No.
So why would you wish that on him?
I just think he just wanted to play at that point.
He just wanted to play, and I think he's good enough
as he's showing that he can play and he can compete,
and he's a starter.
He's not a seventh man or eighth man.
The boy's ball. Okay, Envy
Lala. Now Cyber
Monday was the biggest shopping day
in Amazon's history.
So, like, you know
how amazing that is because obviously Amazon's had
so many sales throughout history.
Hundreds of millions of dollars. They said Tuesday
shoppers ordered hundreds of millions
of products between Thanksgiving and Monday.
They said that customers bought more items around the world on Monday
than on any other day in Amazon's two decades of existence.
They said shoppers ordered a record number of Amazon devices over the past four days.
The Echo Dot and Fire TV Stick 4K were among the most popular items.
Wow.
So there you have it.
Okay.
You know what they say were some of the most popular things
that people were buying in general in the United States?
What, drones?
I'm sure the Apple, the pods, the AirPods, right?
They said a DNA kit from 23andMe.
Really?
It was one of the top items.
Wow, okay.
The Instant Pot Duo 80.
I don't know what that is.
I'm going to have to look that up.
Instant Pot, mm-mm.
LOL Surprise Toys and the iRobot Roomba.
And they said the fashion items had its biggest sales day ever globally with a Carhartt beanie hat and a champion hoodie was the most popular as well.
Okay.
And they got, you know, the iRobot, the little robot vacuum thing.
I have one of those.
They got to stop the commercials where the guy sits on it.
But my son got in trouble.
My son went to my grandfather.
We went to my grandparents at their grandparents' house.
And he sat on it
and tried to ride around.
And my pops almost
back slapped him so crazy.
He was like,
what are you doing?
And my son was like,
I seen it on TV.
You better not do that.
So they got to watch
them commercials
because kids do those things.
I saw a story about
one of those vacuum cleaners
actually sucking up a cat.
Like the cat didn't
move out of the way.
Yeah.
And the hotel got caught.
They had to like
do an emergency. Really? Yeah. The hotel and the cat was like move out of the way. Yeah, and the hotel got caught. They had to like do an emergency.
Really?
Yeah, the hotel.
And the cat was like stuck in the vacuum.
That'll teach the cat.
So that's just a little tip for you guys.
If you have pets in the house, maybe put them up when you use the robot vacuum cleaner.
Goodness gracious.
That'll learn them.
Poor little pussy cat.
All right.
You just wanted to say that word.
No, I didn't.
We're not going to talk about Kamala Harris?
Yeah, we can.
I don't know if we had time. We do. Well, Kamala Harris has actually dropped out of the campaign to be
president in 2020. She has ended that 2020 presidential campaign and she released this
video. So here's the deal, guys. My campaign for president simply does not have the financial
resources to continue. I'm not a billionaire. I can't fund my own campaign. And as the campaign
has gone on, it has become harder and harder to raise the money we need to compete. My dear
supporters, it is with deep regret, but also with deep gratitude that I am suspending our campaign
today. But I want to be clear with you. I am still very much in this fight. And I will keep fighting every day for what this campaign has been about.
Justice for the people.
Remember Kamala Harris actually launched her campaign on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in January.
And, of course, Donald Trump weighed in.
He said, too bad, we will miss you, Kamala.
And she said, don't worry, Mr. President, I'll see you at your trial.
But finances were a large reason why she had to actually end her campaign bid.
As you heard her say herself, they said the campaign had only reserved less than $10,000 for a digital ad it was talking about.
And they actually ended up canceling that ad, never releasing it online.
And she had closed down a lot of her campaign offices.
So clearly finances played a huge part.
She's definitely a friend to the room and I wish her the best.
I definitely wish she would have ran against Trump.
I definitely would have supported her.
What did you think about Kamala?
I wasn't completely sold on Kamala Harris.
I actually haven't made up my mind who I'm going to support yet.
So there's different times that I've liked different people
and then something happens and you're like, I don't know about that person.
So I have been paying a lot of attention to the debates and what everybody's saying. And
what I care most about is people's policies. I know we spend a lot of time discussing
what they've done in the past and this happened and what they did wrong. But I don't think there's
any politician that hasn't made bad decisions or signed a bill that people don't agree with
every single aspect of it. But I just like to know how people are responding, how they plan
to move forward and what are those actionable steps they're going to take to make sure that we are in a better state than we're in right now.
Okay. All right.
Yeah, I don't have a solid person yet.
All right. Well, that's front page news.
Now, when we come back from Growing Up Hip Hop, Angela, Vanessa, and JoJo Simmons will be joining us.
So we'll kick it with them when we come back.
And also, Charlamagne is not coming in, I guess. He's not coming in?
No.
He changed his mind.
He changed his mind, I guess.
All right.
So, Donkey of the Day.
Let's open up the phone lines.
800-585-1051.
If you want to give somebody
Donkey of the Day,
Charlamagne is out.
So we're going to open up
the phone lines.
You can give Donkey of the Day
to whoever you want.
Phone lines are open, all right?
800-585-1051.
And we'll be back with
Angela, Vanessa, and JoJo Simmons from Growing Up Hip Hop.

We got some special guests in the building from Growing Up Hip Hop, JoJo, Vanessa, and Angela Simmons.
Welcome guys.
Hello.
Thank you, good morning.
There's a lot going on in this family.
Yeah, always.
First, congratulations JoJo on getting married.
Appreciate it, appreciate it.
Congratulations.
Thank you, thank you.
Angela, congratulations on the baby.
The baby's three years later. Three, congratulations on the baby. Three years later?
I haven't seen you in that long.
And Vanessa, congratulations
on everything you're doing. I see you're a party
promoter, party planner now. I'm a party
Oh God. Yeah. I've seen the
first episode. It happened this season.
I don't know how I got into that, but yeah.
I'm apparently a party planner. Let's
get right into it, because what we've been
waiting for on every single season of growing up hip-hop
And it felt like it was about to happen
Angela and Romeo. It wasn't about to happen. It felt like last season
No, maybe it felt like that, but I know it wasn't about to be that. This trailer's getting good
She tried to plan a date right a
Double date for her and Romeo to go out and she was gonna hook him up with somebody and
he didn't want to go because really he wanted to go out with Angela that was kind of weird too
because he just didn't show up that's probably where it all went wrong I mean not gonna lie to
you I just thought it was a good idea we weren't really dating in real life so I was like okay
cool like we filming this like let's just do like a fun double date thing like we both single and
then he really didn't show up like I, I was sitting there waiting, filming,
and I was like, oh, you really had me drive
all the way over here to a skating rink for this
and you just don't show up?
So would you date him?
I mean, like, I...
I mean, like, is not a good answer.
That's a no.
I've known Romeo, like, since, what, L.A.?
Like, moving out to L.A. for a while.
We all have history.
Yeah, but, like, we didn't really date like that. Like what's like that? Like we were like cool like we hung a lot.
See how she about to put her arm around me like we were like
What did y'all kiss? Y'all dated if y'all kissed.
No but it wasn't like that like Like, it was very, like...
It was a kiss on the forehead?
It just wasn't like that.
It was a good night.
We had a good time, a good run.
It wasn't like that, like that.
And then, I don't know, we started working together more, like, recently on the show.
And then this season, things just kind of went left.
South.
But you texted him a couple of times.
No, yeah, so, like...
He didn't get you back.
He was kind of mad about that.
So, we're producing partners first, too.
So after everything happened with me and my child's father and what happened with my son,
he was like, I'm going to be there for you.
And he said this on TV.
So I was like, yo, if you say that, and I don't care if we film or not, really mean that.
Correct.
Because that really means a lot to me, especially what I have on my plate.
And to me, he didn't step up at all.
And I'm like, I don't expect nobody to do nothing for me.
Whatever, it's fine.
But he didn't step up. And so we got around time to film, and I't step up at all. And I'm like, I don't expect nobody to do nothing for me. Like, whatever, it's fine. But he didn't step up.
And then so we got around time to film, and I hadn't heard from him.
So I'm like, let me hit him up, you know, see what's going on,
what we doing this season.
Silence.
I'm like, okay.
This dude's on Instagram, shirt off.
I'm like, all right, let me DM him because he's clearly at the gym.
Well, you said shirt off, so that means you were checking him out.
No, this is because he's always doing this.
That's the worst.
When you text somebody and then you see they didn't hit you back, but they're on Instagram.
But you're like this.
So I'm like, yo, like, let me hit him.
So I DM him.
Silence.
I'm like, okay, this is weird.
So next thing you know, I'm asking people in the production, like, did y'all hear from
Romeo?
Because he's not responding to me.
They're like, oh yeah, we heard from him.
He did the same with your sister.
And I'm like, oh, okay, bad.
And it's about you.
And I was like, oh, so we talking about me like on TV, but we heard from him. He did a scene with your sister. And I'm like, oh, okay, bad. And it's about you. And I was like,
oh, so we talking about me on TV but we can't respond. And I don't even get
like this. I don't talk about people publicly
but I feel like this is the route he wanted to go.
I still haven't heard from him to this day. What?
To this day. And y'all work together so that's different too.
I haven't. We've been in the same room and I haven't
heard from him. I tried to bring them together.
He's talked to her. He got
JoJo upset as you can see. It's not like this is something that's together. He's talked to her. He got JoJo upset, as you can see.
It's not like this is something that's
fake. What's he mad about?
Maybe I should have him up here
and find out, because I don't know. But you were planning
his party, Vanessa.
Yes. And you didn't invite your sister?
I invited my sister. He said
he didn't know. He brought me to his house to tell
me how he felt about everything and
said he wanted me to plan his party. And i was like who's invited and he he don't like who i'm dating he
don't like we don't want to give away the whole episode
well he doesn't like who you're dating well y'all gonna find out it's a lot but i'm just saying like
it's very real what's happening though but to me it was more hurtful than anything like maybe he
likes you and the fact you're dating somebody that he doesn't approve of is making him feel the way.
But I ain't dating nobody.
I'm single.
You just said who you was dating.
No, but he's saying the people that he thinks that I'm mingling with if I've been on dates.
Oh, you in the car posting when you with another guy.
It's not that serious.
Yeah, I'm single, and if I date and I choose to post anything, that's on me.
But I'm very private about my dating life, so no one even really knows when I am dating someone
unless I want it to be known.
You said you go on one date on this last season.
Yeah, yeah, but that was like, you know,
it was different, but anyway,
it's, yeah, it's weird.
Well, let's talk sisterhood then,
since we want to talk about.
Oh, wait, before we do that,
let's just say, let's just play.
Now, if I liked her, right,
and I felt I was attracted to her
and I wanted to date her, and I felt she was attracted to her and I wanted to date her,
and I felt she was dating some lames, I might feel a way, too.
Because if I didn't like her and I didn't care, then who would care?
But if I felt the way and I liked her and I see you dating some lames and I think it's some whack dudes, I might feel a way.
But would you have a conversation?
Are you going to be like a little boy and not say nothing?
But what do I got to do with it?
Why do you got to come to me?
Or maybe Romeo still has a crush on Vanessa.
No, I don't think that that's
ever a thing. Goodness gracious, you
just gonna break up this family.
That's just too much. Are you talking about having his big
boy pants? Are you talking about having his big boy pants?
Well, because I feel like you're
going about it in like a little boy
way. Not because you know
like any other time you could text me, you could
call me and you're mad because I'm not answering certain
things. Like you text me, I respond.
If you ask a one-on-one question, if you send in Bible
verses out, okay, I digest
it. Do I have to respond to it?
Do I have to every time?
I mean, it was so much.
I have a lot of friends.
I usually do, but I have
a lot of friends that send mass text
prayers stuff out. I just double tap.
That's my response.
It's a double tap.
I would say thank you because I usually do.
So people who are just listening out there, if you don't know,
Romeo sends out these Bible quotes every Sunday.
Right.
And he expects the people that he sends them to to respond.
Vanessa usually responds with an amen.
Thank you.
JoJo responds with a gotcha.
Or a double tap. Or a double JoJo responds with a gotcha. Thumbs up.
Or a double tap.
Or a double tap.
And Angela just does nothing.
You can ask a couple of my friends to send me Bible verses.
You know, sometimes it hits home.
Oh, this is right up my alley.
I read it.
Okay, cool.
It's not that it didn't hit home, but like it's like his Bible notes.
And sometimes I hit the heart when we on Instagram because he'll send them on there too. Church notes.
And I hit the little button. And sometimes
I just don't. Like I might
wake up, my son's doing, oh Jesus, alright
read it. Put it down and keep it moving.
And what's up?
What'd you think? Because I thought this was really for you
today. I might, then I'm going to respond.
It's a group text. So in a group text
you're not obligated. All 36 of them she
didn't answer. Nah, I said I'd respond to some.
After a while, I just started realizing that it was like,
at first I thought it was very personal, like when he first started.
And I was like, oh, that's really nice.
And I was like, wait a minute, everyone's getting this.
Okay, cool.
We got more with Angela, Vanessa, and JoJo Simmons from Growing Up Hip Hop.
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
EJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now from Growing Up Hip Hop, we have Angela, Vanessa, and JoJo Simmons here.
So, JoJo, you wanted to put the pause on them.
Nah, it wasn't.
I mean, the way that the episode looked and the trailer looked like that,
y'all were really into it, really arguing, really beefing.
But see, you know, obviously editing and all that other good stuff.
But it was no physical going to happen.
It was more I was annoyed because I was leaving it alone.
I'm a protector of my sisters, but overall my family.
But I wasn't even really worried about the situation until he had came up to me in the scene.
I'm not going to talk about it much, but he came up to me in the scene, and I kind of felt pressed about it.
Like, you're pressing me, and you're telling me I'm not married to your sister and all that stuff.
Like, she's, like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, it's the other way around almost.
So I kind of got.
Like, I'm pressed. Yeah, like, she's, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, it's the other way around almost. So I kind of got... Like, I'm pressed.
Yeah, like, so I kind of got annoyed.
I'm just like, that's when you see me kind of saying,
like, oh, are you scared to talk to you?
Come and talk to everybody else.
You're talking to Vanessa.
You come and talking to me about this.
I'm not even paying attention to you
because this is something, whatever,
this is between y'all two,
but that's why I turned up
because I felt pressed.
And I felt like, you trying to, like,
what is we doing here?
Like, I'm not going to do this on camera.
What we're not going to do
is try to be funny
or try to play somebody on camera.
I don't,
I'm not,
I'm a real person.
You feel what I'm saying?
And I like to talk to people for real.
Like,
and I tell people,
we could go off the camera
and we could talk
or we could do whatever we got to do.
You know what I'm saying?
It's not on some tough.
You got your tips on today, JoJo?
No,
I got my UC boots.
You got your tips on.
No,
but it's not even on some tough. It's more on some respect. What I told Vanessa, JoJo? Now I got my easy boots. I just want to make sure. You got his tips on. No, but it's not even on some tough shit.
It's more on some respect.
What I told Vanessa, I told everybody,
I said I would never disrespect his sister in any way,
so the same way applies for my family.
Don't come talking about my sister.
If you disagree with the way she moves or how she acts,
keep her moving.
But there's no reason to call my other sister,
do a scene publicly for the world and be like,
I don't like that she does this, this, this, this, this.
What's the point of it?
You feel what I'm saying?
But you're not answering her and telling her that yourself.
Y'all could have dealt with that yourself.
That's my issue.
You feel what I'm saying?
And that didn't have to go to camera.
And if y'all didn't want to shoot together no more, then whatever.
Let the world guess why they're not filming together no more.
But now you want to come and do that.
And now he want to backtrack.
I'm not even going to talk about it.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's whack to me
And I don't even speak about people
I don't even have intentions
But I have to be honest
You're not going to have me looking dumb on TV
Because you don't want to have a conversation with me
When all it took was a hey
So listen
This is how I feel about you
Bet whether I disagree or agree with you
Cool
You said what you said as a friend
And that's it
But don't have me looking dumb on TV
You just got to be real about it
Y'all should have him up here, have a conversation with him.
Well, he's actually in the next room.
No, I'm kidding.
That's supposed to be genuine love between them to me,
and that's not genuine if you just want,
you can automatically cut somebody off because of how they move,
but just a year ago, you were like, I'm here for you.
You know, the father, your child passed away, hit me whenever,
and then it's like, I don't like the way you move.
It shouldn't matter.
So how's marriage life for you?
Because I've seen you do one thing wrong already, right?
What have I done wrong?
Oh, my God.
You got in an argument, and you walked out.
Oh, God.
You can't walk out on an argument.
Now you're married, you can't walk.
Like, you're stuck there forever.
There's no walking out.
You're there.
I had to walk out and get some air, you know what I'm saying?
I walked to the front of the house.
I ain't going nowhere, You know what I'm saying?
But I just, sometimes I feel like I don't want it to escalate.
So I just remove myself from the situation.
I'm a fan of the walk out when you feel like it's too emotional.
No disrespectful walk out either.
Like, you know what?
Let me get some air.
Obviously, they're going to edit it to make it look like I just walked out.
You know what I'm saying?
But I would never just walk out.
I think sometimes walking out is better than staying and, like you said, making the argument even worse. And then now it just walk out. I think sometimes walking out is better than staying and like you said making an argument even worse.
And then now it just escalates. We gotta
calm down before we can speak
to each other again. Except for now when I walk
back in, people more calm and we can sit
down and talk about it. You got a conversation. Okay, I get that.
So how is the marriage life now? I mean
it's the same. I would just explain
Look, look, look.
It feels better, but what I was just explaining to
somebody out there, he was asking me how to marriage and i said
only only the people that weren't ready to commit or or really take the relationship serious feel
like marriage is a new step or something that's so different oh my god i gotta be because you
still want to go out there and do your thing but a guy that already is committed and to his
relationship and knows what he wants and how he wants to move with his woman that's your wife and
that's just what it's going to be.
Now, let me ask you, since the new season is starting, right,
let's flash back to the last season.
Pastry.
Yes.
Now, Vanessa, you really wanted to bring pastry back,
and Angela wasn't as interested in doing that.
So how did you feel about that, and where is that at now?
Well, pastry never really stopped.
It still exists in, like like the spirit market and dance.
It's really big in the dance world. And
I did go back as creative director
so I'm working with the brand to just kind of bring a
more fitness edge to it. Angela
did not come back with me and it's
no hard feelings. We are gonna have
disagreements in business and
we're not always gonna work together. I think
people were just so used to us always working together
that they really wanted to see that.
Yeah, but we left in 2012 to just kind of get to know ourselves more.
We got into that business at such an early age that, you know, there was more growing to do.
So we relinquished our shares and left in 2012.
They cashed down and dipped.
Cashed out.
But you would have preferred for Angela to be on that trip with you.
A hundred percent.
I'm looking at her right now, but I mean, a hundred percent, I would have loved for that to happen.
But I mean, you know, I have a daughter who's very creative, loves designing herself.
And I want to show her that, you know, your dreams are valid at any age and show her, you know, what mommy did at a young age.
And that when she becomes of age, she can do that too.
You know.
Why did you leave Pastry?
Why didn't you want to come back?
It had been years.
We went back, revisited it.
When I revisited it, for me, business-wise, it didn't make sense,
and it didn't work for me.
We both have different and separate instances going on.
My focus really is women empowerment stuff.
I am working on some fashion stuff, but mainly my Purpose app,
which people, please download that, by the way.
But I'm just focused on doing that stuff.
Now, last time you were here,
JoJo,
you said you weren't
following your sisters
because some of the pictures
they post.
Are you following?
Are you following?
Not me.
Not you.
I follow Amber,
but when I know she goes
on vacations or something,
I just go quick.
Swipe right past it real fast.
I just take you off
my closest friend list
when I'm on vacation.
No, I'm cool
if you're on your
closest friend list
because that don't matter
because it's what you post
on your page.
It don't be your story.
It be the whole Cheeto picture.
Oh, you're going to bring that up right now?
You don't remember the cheat with the orange fur and the Cheetos?
Man.
I was like.
Orange fur and Cheetos?
Listen, y'all look up the Cheeto picture.
Why you bring that up?
Because Aster type.
I'll be like.
Where was the Cheeto picture?
Where was the Cheetos?
I was in Tulum and I took a picture in a jacket. My stylist asked me to take a picture and I had some Cheetos? I was in Tulum, and I took a picture in a jacket.
My stylist asked me to take a picture, and I had some Cheetos,
and I took a picture sitting like this, and I had the Cheetos.
And your crotch?
Yes.
It wasn't like that.
So you see what I'm saying?
No, I was sitting down, and it was just like this.
Scroll quick.
I was minding my business.
I see Angela Simmons.
Scroll.
You know what I'm saying?
You ever look at the comments to see who's leaving a comment?
Any of your friends leave a comment and be like, I got to see this person.
I don't even want to know.
I'll be fighting people in comments.
No, I wouldn't even fight, though, because I've been dealing with, your sisters are pretty all my life.
That's a compliment.
I always say that.
I'll be mad if somebody says, yo, your sister's that ugly.
You know what I'm saying?
Then I'll be like, what?
What are you talking about?
But that's a compliment to me.
I always say, my family beautiful.
Goodness gracious, that Cheeto picture, man.
Oh, my God, Envy. You see it? She's right there. Look at this right now. I always say my family beautiful. Goodness gracious, this Cheeto picture, man. Oh my God, Embiid.
You see it?
She's right there.
Look at this right now.
No, don't show anyone.
She getting it right.
She getting it right.
Don't bring it back on.
Goodness gracious.
Because I had to use a good example.
Wait, it might not be.
One was on my story,
so it didn't count.
That was four.
You had to slide.
Because people went on my story
and screenshot it.
That wasn't really supposed
to go on the main page.
Sheesh.
All right, now keep it locked.
We got more with Angela, Vanessa, and JoJo Simmons from Growing Up Hip Hop.
So don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now from Growing Up Hip Hop, we have Angela, Vanessa, and JoJo Simmons here.
Now, Yee?
Now, Angela, you also opened up a little bit more in this last season.
And I saw you were doing that empowerment women's conference.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I know stuff like that is still difficult for you,
like to answer certain questions and give so much.
Is that getting easier?
It's not difficult.
I mean, I think being open is not a difficult thing for me.
It's just being honest.
And the reason I do the women empowerment stuff is because I've been through a lot you know what I mean like I've firsthand dealt with abuse and
never really spoke out about it and I know that there are a lot of women that are stuck and stuff
like that which is why I made my program pressure makes diamonds because it's not what you went
through but what you come out as right so it's like people need to tell their story from where
they're at now and not be ashamed of what flaws and what they have.
Because I went through that quietly and like fought my own silent like public battle because people would never know.
And like it's hard to get out.
You know, and I think that it needs to be talked about. And women need to protect themselves or get like people around them because you need support in order to get out.
You can't do it alone.
Now, you say abuse.
Now, how come you didn't tell your sister or your brother or your father, your mother at that time?
Because you seem like you have a strong, strong relationship with your family.
It's like, I think when you're in it, it's something you want to get through, kind of.
Like, you want to work through it.
First of all, you can't believe you're in it.
You're like, wait, how did I get here?
You know what I mean?
And then you're like, it's going to go away.
It's not going to keep happening.
Did it start off like a yoke?
Did it start off a grab of a hand? Did it start off like
that? It just starts off small, flick in your head. And next thing you know, things are being
thrown at you. So it's like, you know, I guess it just happened so quick. And so those conversations
really don't have happened, which for me happened with my family until I'm done with it. I'm like,
okay, I'm in a better headspace and I know that I'm done and I can like focus in and like get
therapy and move on.
Gotcha.
But yeah, it's a tough, it's a tough situation.
It's definitely tough to talk about why you're in it.
And I know I've, I have found that there have been a lot of women that just don't speak about it
and they're stuck in relationships, marriages, whatever it is.
Being, they stay either for their kids or they stay because they don't have finance,
financial means to get out of it.
But by all means, like you could wind up not here tomorrow, you know,
and it happens to women all the time.
And so I just encourage people to get help.
Like, even if you're silently getting help, you got to get help.
Absolutely.
And you always think in your head, like, that would never happen to me.
If that happens to me, I'll just.
Oh, I was that number one person?
Never.
Never.
Until it happens to you and you're like, I'm embarrassed to tell anybody.
Is this my fault?
Is this going to keep happening?
I think it's more of a scared thing
you know what I mean
like you're like
and I don't know
if I would have been
embarrassed
or just more afraid
or not sure
what is going on
or is this really
this person doing this to me
you know what I mean
because you see
different sides of people
and so they could be
abusing you
but then they're loving you
at the same time
you're like
you all of a sudden
you're confused
so it is
it's tough
but that's definitely
why I've created programs
and why I'm really big
on women empowerment
and all that stuff.
Right.
Now,
Bow Wow,
it seems like you and Bow Wow
have a great relationship.
I've known him since 17.
Is there any sparks
in that situation?
I mean,
that's my...
Because it just always looks like
every time I see y'all
on the camera,
I see something there.
And you know,
Romeo and Bow Wow
battled it out
on the basketball court
over Angela too.
Who won? Oh, God. Bow Wow battled it out on the basketball court over Angela, too. Who won?
Romeo.
It was more like a team
game. Romeo won
because he picked up all the best players.
It was in his hometown.
They had all the best players.
They had me on Bow Wow.
We both 5'7".
What are we going to do? I got six footers
on that team.
What was we really going to do against them?
So you helped Bow Wow lose.
Huh?
Yeah, pretty much.
What'd you say?
No, I didn't help Bow Wow lose.
I was chilling, really.
You know what I'm saying?
That's the reason why I played a couple minutes.
I played a couple minutes.
You know what I'm saying?
But I was really chilling.
So now, any sparks with Bow Wow?
It's my people.
Like, I've known them since I was 17.
So you got to imagine.
Imagine, like, we've seen each other go from 17
to like where we're at now
like that's forever
I mean like
we'll always be like
real cool
as far as anything happening
I don't know
think about how long
you had a crush on him
yeah I did
I remember my dad
used to call
he was on a court
with Jermaine Dupri
and he called him
I was so excited
to talk to him
then that was like
10 years old
that's crazy to me
like they go through this you used to really actually have a crush on him and now you're like I don't know I used to him. That was like 10 years old. Crazy to me that they go through this.
You used to really actually have a crush on him,
and now you're like, I don't know.
Yeah, I used to be on tour with Bow and everything.
Wow.
We went to all of the Omarion, Bow Wow tour, Chris Brown.
That'd be a nice time to reunite.
We going to the Millennium Tour 2020?
I'm sure we got tickets.
Keep little Fizz away from Angela.
I'm just saying.
Oh, my God.
Listen, that's their business.
Omarion is official. I like the way he handled things. You know what I'm just saying. Oh, my God. Listen, that's their business. Omarion is official.
I like the way he handled things.
You know what I'm saying?
I got to start handling things like that.
You know what I'm saying?
That was nice.
Now, has your Goddy ever reached back out to you?
Because he had.
Speaking of crushes, he had a huge crush on you.
Yeah, he's cool.
I'm a friend.
What?
From the way you say, yeah, he's cool.
Nah, I'm friends with Goddy.
He's cool people.
Shout out to your Goddy. What? Why are you looking at me like he's cool. Nah, I'm friends with Gotti. He's cool people. Shout out to your Gotti.
What?
Why are you looking at me like this?
Nothing, I'm just, nothing.
He's cool people.
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
Now, Vanessa, acting, what's going on?
Because we, of course.
Well, acting, I just finished up season two of Monogamy.
I think I came up here and talked to you guys about that.
So that's back on UMC and Amazon Prime.
And then I just heard that Games People Play got picked up for season two. So I'm excited about that. So that's back on UMC and Amazon Prime. And then I just heard that Games People Play

I'm not doing no music.
I have no music.
I don't mean you.
Let's keep that clear.
JoJo is not doing
no music. I'm talking about with the label, with the studio.
No, no, but yeah, doing the label.
And I'm managing artists.
Well, not managing, signing artists.
And I'm developing artists, producers, writers.
Like when I go to LA, I have a whole writing camp where we just write songs.
And whether somebody want to pick it up or we use it for another artist, it is what it is.
But I'm definitely always going to be involved in music.
That's my number one love, is music.

That sounds like you didn't reach out directly to Envy.
Look, we had Angela in the house.

Now, Jade, who was Tekashi69's girlfriend, and just for some backstory,
also the woman who has a case against Cardi B for allegedly getting her beat up in a strip club.

For allegedly having a lituation with Offset.
Jade posted on social media a supposed alleged DM
from Offset
that said,

She posted that and said,
your wife, Cardi B,
has an open criminal case.
Why are you writing me?
You don't respect her.

We get it.
We get it, Yee.
So apparently Offset's account got hacked, and that's how that DM got sent to Jade.
So Cardi B woke up to some drama, and here's what she said on social media.
Hey, guys.
So as you can see, this guy's Instagram has been hacked.
Now, let me tell y'all something.
My bad.
We look crazy.
We just woke up.
Like, we've been sick throughout the whole damn night. Babe, I me tell y'all something. My bad. We just, we look crazy. We just woke up, like, we've been sick
throughout the whole damn night.
Babe, I know you done some dumb s***. I know he done
we here. Everybody know he done some dumb s***.
But come on now. N****s ain't dumb.
N****s ain't crazy. N****s ain't gonna
play themselves like that. That's why I'm not entertaining
me. That's why I'm not getting no rowdy.
Yeah, I mean, he's done some dumb-ish, but
there's no way in hell he would
DM the woman that is has a case against Cardi B.
Like, come on.
Well, she also posted that they contacted Twitter to talk about their account having suspicious activity for Offset.
And they were trying to say that he got hacked.
And then Hennessy said, it's clear Offset's Instagram and Twitter got hacked.
You got hype there, huh, thirsty bitch?
And then Jade said, the hack started after you got exposed.
Why it didn't start at 1 a.m.?
So there was just a lot of back and forth.
Here's Offset.
Somebody hacked one of my emails, you know what I'm saying, that's connected to all my s***.
And that's how I got hacked on the jump.
You know what I'm saying?
I've been having a good weekend, man.
I wake up to the bulls*** with my family, man. I wake up to the bulls**t with my family, man.
I ain't done no bulls**t, man. I want to
thank Facebook, Google,
Twitter, Instagram for
all sticking together and helping me.
I still don't have my grams as of right now,
but I know I'm going to get it.
Shout out to Officer, man. He's a good dude. And like he said,
he's probably enjoying himself.
And all of a sudden he gets this. People say,
well, why didn't all those tweets come out before?
Because if somebody wants to really believe that it's them, they're not going to make
that many fake tweets.
They want to cause a disruption like they did.
All right.
Well, that's just the story that we heard yesterday.
So we're reporting it and their responses to everything.
I don't believe it.
All right.
Mary J. Blige has a documentary coming.
We're excited for that.
It will be produced by Amazon Studios and E1
and a premiere on Amazon Prime Video.
Glad I have a subscription to that.
And Diddy is going to be serving as the co-executive producer.
So I'm excited.
It's going to detail the life of her.
And when she came into the hip-hop scene
with her second studio album, My Life,
da-da-da-da-da, should be exciting.
Okay.
All right, now let's discuss something, and I want to hear you weigh in on this.
All right.
If you're friends with somebody.
Friends with somebody.
Should they charge you to promote their product on social media?
If they're friends? No, no.
I mean, not at all.
Like, when Fab has an album coming out, I promote Fab's album.
Funny you say Fab.
Queen Swizz or anybody that I'm cool with, they promote Jeezy.
I promote them.
And then when I do something like my car shows or something like that,
they'll post about my car show.
That's what friends do.
I can't charge Fab.
Well, Fab and Casanova were reacting to Shiggy.
They were all backstage at Fab's concert.
And they were saying that Shiggy basically wanted compensation
for an Instagram post promoting Fab's music.
You can think now.
You gotta separate the four friends sometimes.
That's my job, bro.
That's not your job.
Yes, it is.
It's not your job to support friends.
What happened?
He said he needs some money.
No way.
Everybody posted for free.
No, I mean like before this.
Like earlier.
I think choosy.
Choosy. Okay, okay. I think choosy, choosy.
I need you to do the choosy challenge.
You wanna do that to Trey?
I said, yo, I need a re-check.
So basically, Fab wanted him to
do the choosy challenge and post a video
in support of his single
and Shiggy
asked for a check. What do you think about that?
But Shiggy's saying that's his source of income.
I mean, that might be a source of income, but if that's his homie, his friend,
that they've done things with each other before,
you know what I mean?
Hell no, I can't charge certain people.
Certain people I don't care about,
but if, for instance, if Fab asked me for something,
Clue asked me for something,
Jeezy asked me for something,
a lot of these people that I really mess with,
and they hit me all the time and say,
yo, Envy, can you post it?
I can never charge nobody.
That sounds crazy.
All right, well, Fab clearly is cool with Shiggy
because he did even shout him out.
Damn.
So, you know, they cool.
I don't know. It's hard to say if that's somebody's
job. I also feel like if there's...
No.
But if y'all are friends...
That's not his job.
Well, that's how Shiggy makes his money, I guess.
He's an entertainer.
He dances.
He does a lot of things, but his job is not...
He should have just did it, though.
I do agree that Shiggy should have just posted that video.
They all actually hugged and everything before they left the room, so it's no hard feelings,
but it's a conversation.
So he never posted the video?
I don't know.
All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report.
All right, thank you, Miss Yee.
You know who hit me yesterday?
Who, Offset?
No, Lil Wayne.
Okay, maybe he got hacked.
No, Lil Wayne hit me yesterday.
Right now, the funny thing is,
Lil Wayne has never done The Breakfast Club.
When I was doing a morning show at Hot,
he came to do the interview,
but then we kept him waiting for too long, and he left.
So I never really met Lil Wayne, nor have I ever had a conversation with him.
I interviewed him once when I was at Sirius.
He hit me yesterday and said, good morning, brother.
Just letting you know, I F with y'all-ish every a.m.
So if you ever need to know the real about me or anything, just scream, my G.
Love and respect.
Let's see if that's really him.
Let's hit him and ask him a question only he would know.
Then he said, tell Charlamagne I know he doesn't
like my album, but I'm gonna work harder on the next
one. I was like, wow. That was pretty cool.
So hopefully we can get Lil Wayne up here and
shout to Lil Wayne and the whole family over
there. That was pretty nice, right? Yes, sir.
All right. Now, Donkey
Today's up next. 800-585-1051.
I hope I wasn't supposed to read that.
I hope I wasn't supposed to be quiet. Well, you can forget it
now. I know, right? All right. Anyway, Donkey Today. 800-585-1051. I hope I wasn't supposed to read that. I hope I wasn't supposed to be quiet. Well, you can forget it now. I know, right? All right.

Don't get it twisted.
Thank you, bro.
Look at him.
This might be monumental.
He called up and spit on Jay-Z's 50th birthday.
That's right.
Maybe something's going to happen, Envy.
He'll start popping when he's 50. Well, Envy, you get donkey of the day.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, Envy,
what's going on, bro?
This is Tastelands
and Joystown.
Hey, what's up, bro?
Ain't nothing, man.
Called to give you
donkey of the day.
Remember when I came up there
and you said
I wasn't going to make it?
No.
Why is everybody
giving Envy donkey
of the day today?
When did I say
you wasn't going to make it?
Were you a rapper?
No, I was a guy
from South Carolina
on the restaurant,
the Honey Jerk Sauce.
Oh, okay, the Honey Jerk.
I never said
you wasn't going to make it. Yes, you did. You see, I didn't say I didn't want to talk. You didn't make it up there. I said, bro, not for anything. Oh, yeah, I was a guy from South Carolina. I owned a restaurant, the Honey Jerk Sauce. Oh, okay, the Honey Jerk. I never said you wasn't going to make it.
Yes, you did.
You see, I didn't tell anyone.
You didn't make it upstairs.
I said, bro, not for anything.
Oh, yeah, I said you wasn't going to make it upstairs.
Okay.
You made it upstairs?
Yeah, we got that Honey Jerk Sauce.
Okay, all right.
You know, thank you, Angelina Lee, because you had my back, too.
When I was calling you, you were like, yeah, Charlamagne,
you did tell I got it coming.
I pulled up on him.
You definitely pulled up on him.
You know I love a nice Honey Jerk Sauce.
Well, I'm glad you made it upstairs.
I got the jerk sauce, too.
Thank you.
Did y'all try it for Thanksgiving?
Did you?
Not on Thanksgiving.
I thought you had it back, E.
Yeah, I didn't try it yet.
But I wasn't here for Thanksgiving.
I wasn't here for Thanksgiving.
But I'll make sure I try it.
But it's all good because I've been calling since you left.
Since you got off your tour, I had another Inside Connect left you a bottle with a producer, but
if you didn't get that one, I was
going to send you a care package anyway.
I did see your sauce up here and I was like,
oh, that sounds good.
And another thing, I'm mad. I look at y'all show every day.
Why they clean Charlemagne's section up? My sauce is not there.
It's definitely not clean.
He said he was
going to leave it there to put on for the steak.
His section is actually cleaning.
You're right.
I'm looking over there.
It's not up there.
We're looking at the show right now.
It's cleaner, but it's still dirty.
No, it's definitely clean.
Hello, who's this?
It's Wardell from Detroit.
Hey, Wardell.
What up, Wardell?
Give it up.
You said give it up.
Why'd you say give it up?
I don't know why I said give it up.
Why'd you just say give it up?
I was going to say give it up for the D.
Oh, my God.
Why would you just say that?
Who you want to give donkey to, bro?
That is crazy.
I'm giving donkey of the day to Charlamagne for not coming in today.
Yeah, I thought he was just late, but then I guess he decided not to come at all.
Yeah, but then he changed the whole vibe of the show.
You can hear it in Envy's voice.
Envy's like, is he coming or is he not coming?
Whoa.
He got to give donkey of the day.
All right.
Thank you, brother.
Envy's like, yep.
Give it up for the D.
Is he coming or is he not coming?
Let's go one more, one more, one more.
Hello, who's this?
Yeah, Patty.
I'm not your daddy.
I'm not saying daddy.
I'm saying Patty.
Patty.
Oh, hey, Patty.
Hi.
Who you want to give donkey to, Patty?
All right.
So, hi.
My daughter just finished her first semester at a prestigious HBCU,
and needless to say, we regretted that decision very quickly.
What school?
You got to tell us what school.
HU, Howard University.
What happened?
Oh, say that again.
Stop it, stop it.
What happened?
Shh, shh, shh.
Say it louder for the people in the back.
What school?
Howard University.
Oh, my goodness.
What happened at Howard?
Facilities were dirty and grass and mice. What school? Howard University. Oh, my goodness. What happened at Howard? Facilities were dirty
and grass and mice.
Oh.
Roaches everywhere.
Oh.
Nobody ever answers the phone.
Oh.
Where was she staying
on campus, though?
She was staying at the new,
the quad,
the new quad
that was newly built.
Oh, my goodness.
Somebody get AJ on the phone.
AJ, if you're out there,
please chat with Bozeman, Taraji, Diddy.
Who else went there that talks about all that Howard stuff?
Anthony Anderson.
Would you like me to make a call to the real H-U?
Which one?
Hampton.
That's not what you said when you did Change for Change.
Hampton.
I'm so sorry about your negative and bad experience about Howard University.
That hurts me so bad.
No, I'm just joking. You know, maybe
it was just a problem that one day or something.
Maybe because it's new, they still had
things to work through. Yeah, we gotta support
the HBCUs. We had
visited a lot of universities.
You know, my daughter wanted to try it out,
but I felt, even visiting
the grounds and everything, I felt like they were
lacking a lot, a lot.
Oh my God. Well, I'm so sorry for your experience.
I actually, I like Howard University.
I joke about them all the time because I went to Hampton,
but I think it's a good school.
They have great programs.
But I'm sorry you had a bad experience, Mama.
Thank you.
Have a good day.
If you feel like driving like three and a half hours,
Hampton is right there.
I'm just putting that out there.
All right.
Have a good one.
She's like, calm down.
Bye-bye.
All right. Have a good one. She's like, calm down. Bye-bye. All right.
Don't kill the day.

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, and Angela Ye.
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Hello.
Good morning, Cliff.
Hey, how you doing?
Take us off speaker.
Hey, how you doing?
All right, let's try this again.
Cliff, what's your question for Yee?
It's Ask Yee.
Hey, how you doing, Yee?
I got a question.
I've been in a four-year relationship,
and we've been living together,
but she works in a different state than I do,
and I'm there most of the time
holding most of the responsibility.
And when I talk to her about it,
she acts like she really don't,
like, she gets mad like she's there,
but I try to explain to her,
you're only there financially,
but I'm the one with the kids all the time,
working and taking care of everything.
Okay.
So what is it that you want to happen moving forward?
Because you say she's working,
but she works out of town.
Yeah, like, I don't know.
I'm just at a crossroad.
Like, I think I'm ready to kind of move on.
Like, I'm, you know, because I'm kind of,
I feel like I'm stuck in the same spot.
Like, I feel like it's no progress.
And she doesn't.
And it's not like I don't love her or nothing like that,
but I just feel like I'm stuck in the same spot.
What does she do that she has to travel?
She works in the doctor's office, so she can get a job where we live at,
but I guess she chooses to work where she works at
because she feels that she's been there for a long time
and she doesn't want to give up where she's at.
Right.
And, you know, that's a hard decision for people to make with careers and family
if she feels like her career is flourishing.
But I also
feel like, you know, there's a
compromise to be made here. If she won't even
make the effort because maybe there's
a way that she can explore other things
that she might want to do that's along her line of
work that could even possibly pay more
money and at least explore
that as an option. Do you
think that she just doesn't want to be at home either
or you think it's really just work-related?
I think it's a little bit of both.
I think she just don't want to admit it,
that she don't want to be there.
Because, you know, sometimes she can't come home.
She works from Monday through Thursday
and she can't come home on a Friday, like a Thursday night.
But sometimes she don't come home until like Friday at 8 o'clock
after she gets her nails done.
You know what I'm saying? So then she complains about home until, like, Friday at 8 o'clock after she gets her nails done. You know what I'm saying?
So then she complains about quality time with me, but you're only home from, like, sometimes from, like, Friday night to, like, Sunday evening.
And then you complain about me spending quality time when I got things to do on my own or I have my own kind of free time a little bit sometimes.
Yeah, that's tough.
And I think she's got to at least compromise a little bit.
And with compromise, maybe something's
not going to happen right away, but
maybe there's a time limit she could put on it or
at least start fishing around to see what
could be available that would let her be home.
Or even at work, see if there's a way that she
can spend more time at home and
have some flexibility because she's been there so long.
Yeah, because that was never the plan.
The plan was never for
her to keep working. The plan was to move her work for like a year
so we could keep that stable income
and then later on find something where we're at.
But she just left it in the same spot
and never left where she was working.
I have multiple jobs in this state.
I'm not doing good for myself.
Cliff, y'all got to sit down together
and come up with possible solutions.
She needs to throw out some things that she can compromise on,
and you need to come to the table with some possible solutions
so that you guys can come together and fix this.
And if you really truly feel like in the next few months
that there's been no progress and she's not making an effort,
then that's when I think is a real conversation
about what are you going to do moving forward.
All right, thank you.
All right, no problem.
Good luck, bro.
Thank you, Cliff.
He sounds so upset.
He does.
I feel bad.

What line you want to go to, Yee?
Let's do line three, Monica.
Hey, Monica.
Good morning.
Hi.
Hi.
Why you put that sexy voice on?
Hi.
My gosh.
I can't.
Okay, let me settle down.
I had this all cut up to play for you, and now I can't find it.
Okay, this is Asi.
So what's the question?
My daughter, she lives in Barbados.
She was in a competition over there, and I wanted to play her a verse for you.
Okay.
So it's not really advice.
You just want to play a snippet of a song.
And then she wants your advice on how it sounds.
Yes.
I'm actually flying into Barbados next week.
Oh, my gosh.
You know, my daughter went to school with Rihanna,
the one that wanted to play the tune for you.
Rihanna was a little older, but they went to the same school.
Rihanna's on the song?
Shut up, Judy.
No, no, no.
They just went to the same school. Rihanna's on the show? No, no, no. They just went to the same school. She doesn't know her personally
but she was
we often call cadets
at home.
Rihanna was kind of like
the cadet leader.
Alright, but let's hear it.
I see what's happening. Hold on, mama.
Hold on, mama.
Monica, why don't you give out her Instagram page so people could hear her music there?
Do I tell you now?
Yeah, tell us now because we can't really hear this.
It's B-E-A-U-T-I-E underscore fades.
Underscore what?
Fades.
F as in Frank, A as in Adam, I, D as in David, Z as in zebra.
Fades.
Okay, thank you, Monica.
Beauty underscore fades?
Fades.
Like, you know, your beauty doesn't always stay forever.
But fades, F-A-I-D-Z. D-Z, yeah, she spelled it differently. Okay, you know, your beauty doesn't always stay forever. But fades, F-A-I-D-Z.
D-Z, yes.
She spelled it differently.
Okay, Mama.
Beauty on the surface.
Thank you.
I love you guys.
We love you back.
I believe your hair
looks great.
He just cut it.
Oh, Mama,
you got a fan now.
Okay.
There you go, Mama.
Evie, beauty fades.
All right.
Thank you, Mama.
Thank you. Take care. Goodbye. God bless. God bless. I don't see fades. All right. Thank you, mama. Thank you.
Take care.
Goodbye.
God bless.
God bless.
I don't see it.
I don't see it either.
Mama gave me the wrong Instagram.
I think that's wrong.
All right, well, let's go to another line.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, this is Travis.
Hey, Travis, what's your question for Yee?
Hey, what's going on, Evie?
Hey, Yee, I got a question, man.
All right, so I started a business not too long ago,
and then shortly after, my wife, we had our daughter prematurely.
Okay. And then, you know, it forced me to go back into a nine to five and I'm trying to balance that with a job. But then at the same time, I'm trying to be a
father. I'm trying to be a husband. You know, I'm trying to be a working man. And like certain
times, you know, like I feel like, you know, at the end of the day, like I didn't do enough or
is it enough? And, you know, it kind of it kind of creates a depression, I guess you would say.
Right.
And, you know, a lot of men go through this and we don't know, you know, from a woman's
perspective, what can we do?
So is your wife feeling, does your wife feel like you're not doing what you should be doing?
I mean, she doesn't say it, you know, and that's the thing, like, I try to communicate
and I try to get it out, but
like, I never get a clear answer, or
I don't even get, like, you know, the body language
that's giving me an answer. Well, I'm gonna say
a couple of things here. Your wife just had a baby, right?
The baby was born prematurely,
but thank God the baby is fine.
You should understand also that your wife is probably
going through her own things, too.
You know, with her hormones.
I tried to call in the other day when you guys had this, you know, a question about, you know, women and men.
And why do we not feel attracted to each other?
But I couldn't get through and I got through the day.
So it was kind of the same thing.
So you guys are just basically not having sex anymore either on top of this.
I mean, it's a lot less than what it was.
But, you know, you have to be sensitive to the fact
that she did just have a baby, right?
And I think what's really necessary for myself as a woman,
like I've been in situations with men
who were going through a tough time,
and the hardest thing for us
when you're going through a tough time
is for you to not treat us well
because you feel like we're disappointed in you
or you're depressed about, you know,
what you have going on.
And it's difficult for us because what we need is for you to be more optimistic about
what you're going to do in the future and to treat us really, really well during that
time.
Because sometimes in relationships, we could be down on ourselves and take it out on the
other person.
Well, what you really want to do is go to that other person for support, support that
other person as well and show and prove.
You know, we love men that are putting in effort. Even if that effort isn't paying off immediately, and we can see that you're doing everything you can, and it sounds like you
are. You started a business, right? And then realize that now you have to support the family,
so the business might not be flourishing yet, but at least you've gone and done the nine to
five things to hold down your family at the same time.
And at least you care enough.
You care enough.
And I do feel like communication is important.
Ask her how she's doing and make sure that she's doing okay.
And don't try to force her to tell you that she's disappointed in you or any of those things.
She might not feel that way.
You might be too hard on yourself.
And sometimes I do feel like I am too hard on myself. And, you know, and I guess that's the factor of depression where we start blaming ourselves for things that we don't we don't necessarily, you know, see happening.
Right.
Because we don't get the results.
And, you know, it's just more or less like, you know, I just want to make sure, you know, like as a man, you know, coming going towards a woman.
I don't want to over I don't want to oppress or I don't want to oppress her and come at her like overly aggressive.
Right. And maybe it's time, you know, for you guys, for the sake of your family to seek outside help and do family therapy.
You have a baby now at home.
You know, you guys are going through your own individual things that you might not be able to even communicate with each other about.
And it might mean an outside person should step in so y'all can express yourselves.
Yeah, I never thought about that. That's really that is should be what i should be doing too yeah so i would
definitely get some recommendations on who you can go see insurance a lot of times will cover that
so look into that as well and you know for the sake of your family and for your own mental health
and for your wife's mental health i think now that you see there's these issues, let's
attack it. Yeah, because
you know, I really love her and I don't
want to see myself with anybody else, you know?
I have the luxury of knowing my mother and father my whole
life and I want to give that same luxury to my daughter.
And sometimes there's really little sweet things
that you can do that will just really
brighten up her whole entire mood.
So don't stop doing those things.
Okay. Okay.
Alrighty.
Thank you, guys.
I really appreciate it.
Alright, good luck, Travis.
You sound like a great guy.

let's talk about Taraji P. Henson.
She talks about her own struggles
with depression and anxiety.
Alright, we'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody.
We are The Breakfast Club.
And shout to the Double Tree Hotel.
They sent us those cookies.
You know how they give you the warm cookies when you stay there?
As soon as you check in, they give you that warm cookie.
I know it's National Cookies, though.
Can you please finish chewing the cookies, please? Yeah, but they sent up a bunch of cookies. I know it's National Cookies, though. Can you please finish
chewing the cookies, please?
Yeah, but they sent up

I thought it was pretty dope.
Anytime you check in,
they give you that nice, warm cookie.
And they put in these little baggies
so that you can put it
in the microwave for 10 seconds
and it'll be warm
just like it is there.
Yep.
I just was at the DoubleTree
in Silver Spring, Maryland
when we did the lip service tour.
Yep.
And first thing I did
was go to Frontier and say,
where are the cookies?
Well, thank you for the cookies.
They sent us about
20 cookies up here.
Shout out to Donnell Rawlings and Austin and Stephanie.
They're in the car right now coming from the airport.
So, hey, Austin.

Let's talk TI.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The rumor report.
Gossip.
Gossip.
With Angela.
Angela Yee.
It's the rumor report.
The Breakfast Club. Well, this drama is continuing. Goss. Goss. With Angela. Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club.
Well, this drama is continuing.
Wack 100 versus T.I.
You know Wack.
He's Blueface's manager right now also.
And T.I. posted on Instagram because Wack had said that Nipsey Hussle is not a legend.
And T.I. posted a legend and he put the definition of legend on there.
And he said this, say Nipsey all over it.
Record sales and number one hits
ain't the only barometer for legendary status.
Impact is what's important.
Although his notoriety did grow exponentially
more after his demise, his impact is undeniable.
Now, Wack then posted a video of T.I.
I remember when T.I. had to do those Crime Stopper videos
as part of his, I guess, when he got arrested, I think he had to do these.
Yep. And this is what he posted.
Hey, what's happening, y'all?
Some people call me Till, but this is about another
kind of Till that can help our mothers,
our sisters, our brothers,
and our fathers help get the perpetrators
who commit crimes against them off the streets.
All you gotta do is call Crime Stoppers Atlanta.
Tips can be anonymous,
and there's even a reward.
I don't like that.
You don't like what?
That he posted that?
I don't like whacking T.I.
going back and forth.
T.I. does.
I mean, they can have
a difference of opinions.
So then T.I. posted people
on Twitter versus people
in real life and it says,
at famous guy,
shut up, your music sucks,
talentless idiot.
And then it shows
that same person
asking the famous guy,
oh my God,
could you please sign my hoodie?
I'm your biggest fan.
He said,
until it's in my face, it's fake.
This social media-ish gets weird. However,
my paperwork clean and presentable for
any and all to pull up and see
in real life. So he said,
ain't no back and forth. You way too old for this, sir.
And I'm way too
rich. Yeah, I don't like this. And
they can have a difference of opinions. I mean,
Wack feels Nipsey's not a legend.
T.I. feels he is a legend.
Why does it have to go past that?
T.I. does too much to the community, too much for the culture to play with T.I.'s name like that.
I like Wack, but this is something where they should have a man-to-man conversation.
Let Nipsey rest in peace.
The family is still having to deal with this.
Just let's stop.
I don't know if Wack was asked.
Somebody might have asked Wack that question and he answered.
He should just not. Just leave it alone. I don't even want to speak on it. Yeah, I don't like to see that.
Alright, so then he posted about
T.I. some more and I also
don't like bringing up, you know, T.I.'s best friend
had gotten killed. Let's not even bring that up.
That's a horrible tragedy, but
it was a lot of back and forth. Alright, Raji
P. Henson is talking about her struggle with
depression and anxiety.
Now, she did an interview with Self Magazine, and she said her depression got so bad before she got help that she felt like she was in a dark cloud.
She said, I noticed the mood swings. Like, you know, one day I would be up, and the next day I would be down, feeling like I didn't want to go out in public, almost agoraphobic.
There would be days when my brain wouldn't stop racing with the worst scenarios in the world, which would heighten my anxiety. There was
no shame when I started to recognize it.
It was like, I have to get some help because I'm
the life of the party, and when I go dark,
I go dark. I don't want to leave the house.
So she did get the help of a therapist.
She found that therapist through Gabourey Sidibe
from Empire also. Okay.
She got the help that she needed. And shout out to Gabourey
Sidibe. You know I did an episode of Empire
just recently, and she actually is the one that she needed. And shout out to Gabourey Sidibe. You know, I did an episode of Empire just recently,
and she actually is the one that directed that episode,
and she did a great job.
So shout out to Gabourey Sidibe.
Shout out to her.
All right, Alicia Keys and Meg Thee Stallion,
here's some great news.
They're going to be honored at Billboard 2019's
Women in Music event.
So that's well-deserved.
15-time Grammy Award-winning artist, songwriter,
musician, producer, philanthropist.
Alicia Keys is getting the American Express Impact Award for her inspiring work with She Is The Music.
And Meg Thee Stallion will earn the Powerhouse Award with her Fever mixtape and Unshakable Confidence and Rhymes.
All of that, she's getting that award.
So other women who will be honored.

without going through Desiree.
And yeah, so a lot of people being awarded there.
And that'll be streamed live on YouTube too, by the way.
All right, The Rock says he was hesitant to remarry
after his divorce.
He said his split back in 2007 from his ex-wife
really did a number on him. He said, I wasn't fearful from his ex-wife really did a number on him.
He said, I wasn't fearful of getting married again.
There was just some hesitancy,
but Lauren was incredibly patient.
I love you. You love me.
We have this amazing life together.
No presh.
And they were actually together for over a decade
before they got married.
Okay.
Well, congratulations to them.
I'm glad he got married.
I'm glad he found love.
Mm-hmm.
All right, I'm Angela Yee,
and that is your Rumor Report.
All right, thank you, Miss Yee.

I don't think that's anyone's.
You know how they do that?
Nobody ever?
Yeah, that's nobody else's favorite by mine.
Is that anybody else's favorite?
Maybe it is.
I'm sure it's going to be in the mix.
So if you haven't heard it, you'll hear it in the mix.
I'm going to start the mix off with it.

him get that, so we're so proud of you, ProStyle.
I know he's off to the next deal, so
he'll be picking up a bunch of others. He's
making sure his kids are going to be straight with the generational
wealth. So congratulations to ProStyle

All right.
Well, you got a positive note for the people?
It's Jay-Z's birthday.
I know.
Don't worry. I picked a Jay-Z quote for you. All right. Which one? All right. A loss and a loss.
It's a lesson. Appreciate the pain. It's a blessing. I thought you was going to do. I got
99 problems, but a bitch ain't one. No, you're here. Hey. Breakfast club, bitches. You all finished
or you all done? Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
