I'm a boss. You a worker. Bitch, I make bloody moves. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha Guy. Who is Charlamagne Tha Guy?

I said Charlamagne Tha Guy. You said the guy. I'm the guy, too. All right, well, let. Charlamagne Tha Guy. Who is Charlamagne Tha Guy? I said Charlamagne Tha Guy. You said the guy. I'm the guy, too. All right, well, let's get into some front page news. Let's talk Tom Brady. Yes, Tom Brady. He has his book, The TB12 Method, and he talks about his hydration routine. He reportedly drinks over 37 glasses of water per day.

That's a lot because the expert I read from the book said he drinks 25 glasses a day. Well, here's what he had to say when asked about how much he drinks. So you drink like 115 ounces of water? Yeah, probably more just because there's still a lot of output per day. So I'm still losing a lot of fluids. I'd say like if you weren't exercising on a particular day, that would be the baseline. I would say half your body weight in ounces. But, you know, you have muscle injuries because, you know, you've lost so much

fluid. Muscles are dehydrated. Muscles are tight. I try to stay really on top of my hydration. You know, I'm asking my body to perform at the highest levels. I need the highest levels of hydration too. And he adds electrolytes to everything he drinks. Right. He said add electrolytes also. Goodness

gracious. Now he also feels like you can flush out toxins and increase your chances of pliability, which is leaner, softer muscles. And he says that can prevent sunburns, which is actually just an anecdotal claim. Now according to professionals, they're saying it's not good because after you drink

too much water, you could potentially die. That condition is called hyponatremia. That's when you flush so much water through your system, there's not enough sodium left. Who are you going to listen to, the experts or Tom Brady? Look at how that man's performing at 40 years old. I'm going to listen to the experts when we got living proof that it's fine right here.

He must go to the bathroom a lot. Think about it. I go to the bathroom a lot. I drink about maybe 15 glasses. You go to the soup bowl and go to the bathroom. That's all you got to do all day long. What's the problem? Drop on the clues box with Tom Brady.

Respect him, but F him. Well, don't try that at home, basically. I don't see why not. Live like Brady, damn it. That man is 40 years old and performing at the highest level. Well, don't drink 37 glasses of water a day. I don't see no reason not to. If Tom Brady went to the Super Bowl,

then y'all going to have to come with a very valid reason for me not to drink 37 glasses of water. You could die. Hey, eight Super Bowls. How many have you been to? Eight, right? Six wins? And it's also very individual how much water you should drink. It depends on your body weight.

They say men should drink more than women do per day. He drinks four protein shakes a day, too. Yeah, I don't recommend that either. Does he eat? For the average person. Yeah, but he's working out way more than the average person. He's burning a lot of it off. Yeah.

No, I'm saying for the average person. Yeah, but he's working out way more than the average person. He's burning a lot of it off. Yeah. I'm saying for the average person, don't think that what he does is what you should do unless you're working out like Tom Brady. Alright, now let's discuss the trial that's going on with these twins. Now, this all started about a year ago. Alexandria and Anastasia Duvall, they were twins and

they had a yoga studio together, but they had a sibling rivalry that was supposedly just very deadly, apparently now. Alexandria's lawyers are saying the crash was an accident because what happened is the other sister drove her SUV off of a cliff

in Hawaii and murdered her sister in the process. So they're saying it was an accident. Now, other people are saying, though, they used to argue all the time about all kinds of things, and they actually had a really bad competition with each other. And in addition to that, they're saying Anastasia's former boyfriend says that Alexandria dressed in her sister's clothes after she killed her and tried to seduce him after the wreck happened. So hold on.

That headline on Revolt says, Twain on trial for allegedly steering car off cliff to kill sister. Yes. What made her think she wouldn't die? That's the other thing. They both in the same car. Yeah, that's it. What's up, man?

That's a gamble. We both going off the cliff? So, yeah. Shut up. Seatbelt. That's very logical to you, huh, Steve? Our cameraman Steve yells out, she's wearing a seatbelt. Yeah, like driving off a cliff. Like you won't die anyway.

Yeah, airbag will protect you from driving off a cliff. Well, maybe she was, you know, maybe they got into a huge argument and she just went crazy and was like, we're going to kill us both. And she ended up living, who knows? Y'all came in together, might as well die together. But, yeah, her argument is that it was just a tragic accident. Okay. Alright, well

last front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent. Hit us up right now. Maybe you had a bad night. Maybe you need to vent. Or if you just want to spread some positivity, phone lines are open.

800-585-1051. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this?

Tanisha from Norfolk. Hey, Tanisha, get it off your chest. I'm blessed this morning because every day I wake up to go to my job and I can take care of my two babies. So I'm blessed this morning. Congratulations, baby. Thank you. I love y'all so much. I watch y'all every, my two babies. So I'm blessed this morning. Congratulations, baby. Thank you. I love y'all so much. I watch y'all every, I mean, listen to y'all every morning

on my way to work. We love you too. Thank you for having no taste. Hello, who's this? This is EJ. Hey, get it off your chest. Well, I just want to say that I'm thankful. Today, I had been in and out of the nursing homes three times because I couldn't walk.

I'm at my house now. I'm walking and I'm helping my family. And I am thankful. Okay, well, congratulations. That is truly a blessing. I feel gratitude this morning. There's a lot of people thankful this morning. I like when gratitude is the attitude.

Hello, who's this? Hi, how y'all doing today? This is T-Maddis, T-E-E-M-A-D-I-S. I got something to get off my chest. Go ahead, bro. I'm not mad or blessed today. Okay. Wait, no.

Yeah, my thing to get off my chest is two years ago when I was in New York, I hollered at Angelique's homegirl and she told me, ew, to my face. It was all good. I didn't mind it. I kept butchering. But I will tell you this. I made an observation of you three collectively. Every morning you guys come off with some type of sexual innuendo off of another topic you were talking about.

And you guys say no stuff like that. Nobody says that ever. We don't play no. We grown men. We don't pause. Especially you two, Charlamagne and DJ Envy. Good morning, everybody. Hi, Angela Yee.

I don't think me and Charlamagne... We let the gayness openly fly. You guys party around that booty hole joke all day, every day, and I will say this. As a collective... We play around the rim, above the rim, baby. Above the rim.

But check it out, though. But check it out, though. As a collective, if you have taken any psychology courses and you've studied throughout the course of your life, you guys either suffer from one or two things. Either you all are homophobic

or you're curious. What do you think it is from your assessment? I don't believe that situation to y'all. I don't know. I'm going to ponder that one. I have never thought about it. I never thought about it. I always tell y'all, man, there's nothing a man has told me yet to finesse me out of my

boxing reach. But it could happen. I'm married. I always tell y'all, man, there's nothing a man has told me yet to finesse me out of my boxing reach. Not yet. But it could happen. Yeah, I mean, I know. I ain't married. Okay. But if you wasn't married. If I wasn't married, I ain't thinking about it.

I just can't get over the fact that my friend told him, ew. Why is there no gray area, though? Why we got to be either homophobic or gay? I don't know. Why can't we just be having some fun? I love me. I love a good racist joke, and I love a good gay joke. Whoa. All right. What do you mean, whoa? It's not whoa. A good racist joke. me, I love a good racist joke and I love a good gay joke. Whoa.

All right. What do you mean whoa? It's not whoa. A good racist joke. Yes, I love a good, I love a good joke about race and I love a good joke about gayness.

Well, keep your fingers away from me because I don't like that type of funny. That's not your idea of a good time? That's not my idea of a good time.

All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent. Hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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? Yo, this is Barshe, man, coming out of Charleston, man.

I'm out here in the morning heading out. Yo, 843, what's happening? I need you to slow down. You sound like you had a lot of pork this morning. Calm down, man. Hey, yo, DJ Envy and Angel Lee, this is a true story. I kid you not. I'm coming out of the joint.

I was talking to a cat, and he hooked me up with Charlamagne Tha God, and Charlamagne talked to me. Before he got that platform, he didn't have no money or nothing, and he was dead broke, and he was amazed at the story. As soon as he got that platform, this is the green-eyed genie, the creator of hip-hop. All pioneers know it. And now everybody, they're doing a movie on me,

and here Charlamagne didn't have no money. All pioneers know it. And now everybody, they doing the movie on me. And here, Charlamagne didn't have no money. Y'all didn't even know him, DJ Envy and Angela Lee. He didn't have no money or none of that. As soon as he got that platform, Goldie's my man, Charlamagne. Your best friend, Goldie. He put you on the phone with me when I was driving the trolley bus in Charleston doing the million-dollar weddings, taking everybody to the plantation that was coming from all over the country,

and you talked to me for around 30 minutes, and I told you I was the creator. You didn't have no money. You was dead broke. As soon as you got that platform, like many black people do, you flipped, got a book deal, moved your family out of there.

Now you're over in Jersey. Me and Goldie talk about you all the time. He works in Jersey, though. He works in New York. And then me and Ben Botta driving around in a van with Grand Wizard Theater in shootouts. 1975, 1976,

77, 78. I'm in the martial arts tearing the s*** out the frame. 35 years in the martial arts and we over here, I'm bringing this culture to all the five boroughs. Nobody knew no hip-hop, knew of nothing. You come out the country of some munch corner, first living in Charleston. Charleston, all of that back then was all bummy and dirty.

Now you get a platform. You don't know the history. You don't know the life. But you know what's about it? It's millions just like you, Charlemagne. So I'm not going to even hate on you right now. I don't know. I sound like hate to me, sir. I don't know what you're talking about.

But listen, Goldie is my guy. That's not my best friend, but that's my guy. And number two, I don't understand your point. Yeah, I was broke at one point in my life. And people come up. I don't understand what your point is. I don't get it. Like you spoke to me back in the day and then now what? You spoke to him for 30 minutes and I thought that was pretty get it. Like, you spoke to me back in the day, and then now what?

You spoke to him for 30 minutes, and I thought that was pretty good. You know, you're from South Carolina, you was broke, you got a job in New York, you work in New York. I don't see the problem. I mean... Sound like a great come-up story to me. I don't know. I was proud of you. I mean, hey. Salute to my dude, Golden Eyes, though. I still talk to Golden.

I don't know. I don't know. If your family was in South Carolina, that'd be a long drive every morning from South Carolina to work. I don't get the point of the whole story he just told us now. Goldie about to be like, why you put me in it? But good morning. Goodness gracious. He was mad. Hello, who's this?

Hey, man, it's Davey Ruffin again, man. I'm back. I'm trying to redeem myself. I'm an idol this morning. I'm blessed. How y'all doing? Redeem yourself for what? It's been a weird morning, but what's up, bro? I'm all right, man. I've been on, you know, I got on it two days ago. You know, I'm just, I've become a comedian, but what I really wanted to get off my chest is why at six in the morning some certain people, I think they forgot about hygiene.

You see what I'm saying? There's no reason at six in the morning, you seem like the back of a trash truck and the shift just started. Nah. Damn right. Hey, but if you do garbage though, if you're a garbage person, it stays in your paws, though. Come on now. Sanitation worker.

It might have been trash from the day before. And to the guy that called right before this, it's Angela Yee. He kept saying Angela Lee. It's Angela Yee. Everyone does that. The man is clearly eating pork early in the morning, man. Don't tell him that. And I just want to say, sometimes people smell because of their clothes.

You ever notice that? Sometimes people, if you shower and you put on dirty clothes, an old dirty coat, you're still going to smell. So make sure you wash your clothes too. Or if you use cheap detergent. Sometimes cheap detergent don't work. That's why you got to Febreze everything. Okay. Get it off your chest. You ain't broke no more, Solomon.

You ain't got to Febreze everything no more. I'm going to always live like I'm broke. You ain't got to Febreze. Just get some detergent. I just wasn't sure what he wanted. Nobody. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

Anyway, we got rumors on the way. Man, well, let's talk about a tragedy that happened yesterday. A really sad story about an ex-NBA player. We'll tell you all about that if you haven't seen it already on social media or on the news, okay? All right. We'll get into that when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. First day of Black History Month. What's happening? I'm showing my black ass all month. Black Panther coming out in a couple weeks, too.

Drop one of the clues bombs with Black Panther. I'm still jealous and envious of everybody who's already seen it. All right, well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk the shop. It's well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk to Shy. It's time. She's spilling the tea. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, The Shy has already been renewed for a season two,

so congratulations to them. It's only four episodes in. Great show. And Showtime made a big announcement yesterday. Now, the head of programming, Gary Levine, said, From viewers and critics alike, the response to The Chi has been so enthusiastic from the very start that our decision to renew the series was an easy one. Dropping a clues bomb for Lena Waithe.

Great show. I didn't get to see Sunday, though. Yeah, I was flipping back and forth between the Grammys and The Chi. The Chi makes me appreciate appointment television. Because, you know, when you binge watching shows, you don't really have the sense of urgency because you can just watch them whenever you want. But when you know that show will come on Sunday at 10 o'clock, you're going to have your ass there Sunday at 10 o'clock. I missed a couple of weeks, and I like just watching it when I want to watch it.

It's only been four episodes. And I missed three weeks, and I've been watching it all week, and me and my wife watched it all week, and we sat there, laid down, and just watched it. I like that better. All right, well, the series premiere is the network's best since Billions back in 2016. That's my show, too. I like Billions. All right, Blake Griffin, he was just as surprised as everybody else when he got traded.

He found out on Twitter. He spent his entire seven-year career with the Clippers. He said no one from the organization called to inform him of that deal before it hit social media. So he said it was disappointing to find out on Twitter just like everybody else, but he understands that business is business and he's excited to be in Detroit. I'm surprised he didn't have a no-trades clause where they have to call him

first. Like with Mello, you couldn't just trade Mello. Mello had to approve that. Yeah, but Mello was a wily veteran by the time that happened. Mello was on his second or third contract by the time that happened. Melo was on his second or third contract. Third contract by the time that happened. Blake Griffin's a superstar. You don't think he'd have put that in his contract?

No, not early on like that. And by the way. It's his second contract. Forget all of that. You know what advice we should be giving Blake Griffin? Where to buy a coat. All right. Go tell him where to buy a coat right now.

Okay. It's cold in the D. We should have given him a heads up though before Twitter. What, that it's cold in Detroit? No, that he's getting traded. He need to get a starter jacket. Get yourself a starter. All right, and rest in peace to Rasul Butler.

He was killed in a car crash. Ex-NBA player. He and his wife were killed. So sad. He was 38 years old, and they believe the car was speeding before he lost control. It was a Range Rover around 2 a.m., struck a parking meter, and slammed into a wall, and the car flipped. So rest in peace to him.

He survived by a daughter from a previous relationship, Raven Butler. Now he and his wife were both killed. Jesus. Really sad situation. Leah LaBelle. So rest in peace to them and our condolences to their families. Word is bomb. Rise up for them and their family.

Jesus Christ. A lot of people on social media were also paying their respects. Blake Griffin said you were a great teammate and an even better person. Rest in peace, my friend. John Wall said, I will always remember the time we shared together as teammates. You were the big brother. Kevin Love said, incredibly sad news to hear about. Russell Butler and his wife Leah, prayers to both of their families through this tough time.

And Kobe Bryant said, rest in peace, my brother, as well as Allen Iverson. That's kind of a freak accident, right? I was looking at the moon last night because they had that big full moon. And I got in the car last night with the driver. I said, all right, now you drive carefully. After I saw that story because, you know, I'm a hypochondriac. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee.

When we come back, Amanda Seals will be in the building. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.

The amazing Amanda Seals. Yay! First of all, I want to thank Amanda for being a great tour guide in Grenada. Is that your home island, right? Yeah.

Citizenship. He doesn't have a soursop and he hasn't stopped talking about it since. Oh, man. All of the healing properties. Nothing makes you relax like soursop tea. I drink a cup before bed healing properties. Nothing makes you relax like soursop tea.

I drink a cup before bed. I literally bought like 10 bags of soursop tea. I'm really impressed because you came to Grenada and like a lot of times I feel like since Grenada's not a touristy, Grenada has tourism, but it's not geared towards tourism in the same way that like Jamaica or Barbados is.

Like you'll have folks come that are just like, well, why isn't this so, you know, why isn't this this way or why isn't it that way? have folks come that are just like, well, why isn't this so, you know, why isn't this this way, or why isn't this that way? And you guys were so, just like, laid back, willing to try anything. Absolutely. You know, sometimes you get Americans that come to these places, and they really don't care about the culture. They're just like, where's that beach?

Where can I get braids? And claim that Bo Derek did it. Now, where do we start with Amanda Sears? There's so much I want to touch. Like, I love what you said And we've talked about this You said men love but hate women I said some men

Some men That's a whole other argument Some men I've just been seeing that quite a bit Especially when you see dudes who are fearless about it Like this Jay Whatever day person. What?

Jay Holiday. Oh, okay. I was confused. I called him whatever day. Whatever day. Just another irrelevant holiday. Brown hog day. Right.

You know, national hat day, Jay Holiday, all the same thing. Because it's really become this thought process that says, like, as women rise, men think they're falling. And that's just false. You know, it should be incredibly ridiculous. It's incredibly ridiculous to consider the rise of women to be the fall of men. Just the way that white supremacy literally stands on the shoulders of, oh, if anybody else has power, then we don't have power. You know, and that is a complete fallacy.

So when you hear men who are really ardently like, you know, stop empowering these women, you know, women need to know that like they need to stay in their place. It's like, what do you know what you're saying? And I think, honestly, what they don't really realize that they're saying is that we're weak. We're only strong if you're not as strong as us. That's what you're really saying as a man when you say that. So I really feel like a lot of dudes, when we as women are like, why are y'all biting us so hard on this? Like, I know a lot of women who are just like, why do brothers fight with us so hard?

Like, why are you so mad at me all the time? And then brothers fight other brothers who help support sisters. And it's like, why? And then you realize it's like, you just don't like me. Like, you don't like me. You like my body parts and what that makes you feel like physically. But in terms of like me as a person, in terms of me as like someone who exists in this world with dreams, you don't really want to see that happen because for some reason you think that that is going to prevent you from achieving yours.

And the more that we can close that chasm and understand that, like, it's not that way. We should be uplifting each other regardless of gender, et cetera. Then I think the better off we'll be, especially in a black love space. Baller Alert did this ballerific, you know, they did a post on me. And some guy wrote, yeah, you know, she had to F somebody to get in that position. She F'd everyone up at the station. What, did you post on Baller Alert? Yeah, I mean, you know, she had to F somebody to get in that position. She F'd everyone up at the station. What, did you post on all of that? Yeah.

I mean, you're supposed to. And you're supposed to. I didn't even have time. You know she F'd everyone. There's thousands of employees at iHeart. Oh, not at Baltimore. To make it in where she's at now. But then.

For the record, I was accused of such a f***ing job, too. Just for the record. And then the second. You haven't proved it yet. You haven't yet. The second thing was Angela Rye was on here and I posted a picture and I deleted the comments, but somebody was like, oh, Charlamagne's definitely effing her. That's why she's

always up there. Why aren't you just up here on your own merit just because you have it? And it's crazy to me and it's guys that are saying that. Always. Cardi talks about that. I talked about that. Like, dudes really be in their whack-ass lives mad at you for living your best one. And I'm like, it's not like there's not a track record.

It's not like we just pop up like ta-da. You know, like I just popped up from somebody's like ta-da. That's not how this turned out. If it was that easy, way to do something. And I always say, I always say like this, there's no secrets to success. It's either working hard or f***ing somebody that's working hard. That's it. There's only two routes.

Does that truly work though? Can you just, I still think you gotta have talent. I think you still have to have a certain level, but I think in terms of access to certain spaces. Will you stay in that space? Maybe not if you don't have the ability. Will you get your foot in the door for certain reasons? Possibly. You'll get your ass in the door.

But are you going to be there 20 years later excelling and getting promoted and getting looked? You don't even have the stamina. Well, maybe. They might have the stamina. Plus, it's a new woman turning 18 every day. So those guys are just going to go find something new. Keep recycling. I mean, I've known all of y'all for forever.

Y'all have all seen my grind and whatnot. So it's like it's Angela, the same thing. Like, we all seen my grind and whatnot. So it's like, it's Angela, the same thing. We've seen you for so long. I've seen your hate up front. It seems like they wanted you to die. They hated you. Every job that I've seen you at, I was like, Amanda's not a bad person.

That goes back to women, though. That goes back to this insecurity men have with women. Because if you were a guy acting the way that you acted, they'd be like, oh, she's a boss. Right. Well, I've been getting this thing lately where I've been getting men that are like, she's masculine. Amanda Seals, she's pretty, but she's not sexually attractive because, and there's never a because, right? Like, it's always just like, we're just saying that.

And then the next conversation is, you know, she be talking too much. So anybody can put that together. Oh, you think I'm masculine and not sexually attractive because I have opinions because you feel like only men should get the platform to speak. And I'm not going to lie. Like, I think people think because of my Instagram, like who I am on Instagram, like they think that I'm not sensitive, even though like I'm a cancer. So I'm like full sensitive, like at all times. Yes. But also just as a woman, like I really take pride in my womanhood and like my femininity.

And yes, I have like tomboy aspects. But at the end of the day, it's like someone telling me I'm masculine. Like that will start to just because that's not what I'm going for. Like, that's not what I'm about. It's not what I'm going for. Look at all this neck. Look at these clavicles. I'm not.

But it's so like unnerving to know that literally just by being an intellectual and being fearless about speaking on it, that dudes is like, ah, like I can't, she's never going to get a man. You told me that before. Wow. I can see that. I remember that. Yes.

Back in our POV days on Hip Hop POV, Charlamagne was like, you ain't never going to get a man because you got too many opinions. And you, you know, you just, you, you just be talking too much and like, dudes don't want to hear that. i feel like i people be like why are you friends with him a lot of people say that that was two years ago but i'm gonna tell you but i'm gonna say no but it's because i see i've seen change you know like there's people that especially like

especially like people you date where you're just like i'm changing i'm working on myself but you not so how can i continue to be with you when i'm doing work and you're not we may not be doing work at the same pace but you literally ain't doing it like your work is you trying to figure out like what's the what's the next kind of weed i can find you know like that's what you're considering work whereas like i'm really genuinely working on myself and And with you, I feel like you're really genuinely working on yourself. And sometimes people don't see that because of your demeanor or they think you're, like, strong and wrong. And I think sometimes it's really just you're just like,

I haven't figured this out, and I'm going to just be solid in the fact that I don't know what this is. Absolutely. And I'll figure it out later. But that's part of the reason why, like, we are friends, because we can disagree on things and just be like, Jake. All we got more with amanda seals when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club dj nv angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club amanda seals is in the building

now what happened with russell simmons what was the situation with Russell? I was shooting the second season of my web series, Get Your Life, which you donated to. Thank you. And I needed a space to shoot an office scene. And so Hassan had hit me up randomly. And I was like, oh, you know what? Do you know? Because he's lived in L.A. longer. I was like, do you know anywhere that I could shoot that?

And he was like, oh, you should come by the office and see about maybe shooting in the all-deaf digital offices. So I came by. And, you know, I've known Russell since I was on Deaf Poetry Jam when I was 19. And I've, I mean, we've all been in this business forever. So you kind of just see stuff. I did a lot of the voting stuff that he was doing back when he was doing all that stuff. And so I went and I was sitting in his office and we were talking about Insecure. And he was saying, you know, big ups on Insecure.

And, you know, I really like the show. I like what you're doing on the show. This is recent. Yeah, this is 2016. Sheesh, okay. Yeah, and he was like, I really like you on Insecure. You know, I see what you're all doing. He was like, oh, you know, Amanda, have we ever fucked?

Jesus Christ. And I was like, this is why I left hip hop. This is why I left hip hop. Maybe he ate a little piece of meat that day. And I, you know, and so this is what happens in those moments, though. In that moment, you have to really sit and think, like, am I going to let this moment of their ignorance screw up my vision of what I need to happen. I need to shoot this scene in an office. What was your reply?

No. And he said, well, I mean, oh, right. Because I would remember that. So it was like there was even another cap. And I'm just sitting there like... It was no joke. It was not... That's still not funny. It was just... I think to him it's humorous

because he's said this to people before. So I think for him it's like, you know, I'm a comic. Like you have bits. I think that was like one of his kind of sticky things. And I think that's why it didn't register to anybody in the room as problematic, you know know because they're just like oh that's Russ like he's just doing his Russ

thing but for me especially having been out of hip hop so long now it's so much sharper because like I don't experience that in the comedy space and I really remember it I don't I don't it absolutely happens I don't people don't know how to play with you though

at this point yes and. Yeah, yeah. And in the hip-hop space, though, we know. You experience it all day long, and there is no human resources for hip-hop. I have so many stories. I always say, one day I'm going to write a book called Your Favorite Rapper is a Lame. And it'll literally just be text messages to my T-Mobile sidekick that I've gotten over the years. You know, and poems, because I've gotten two. And you know, so

hip-hop has encouraged that kind of behavior. How many songs you've heard, like, is we f***ing a what? You know what I'm saying? You know, you can't like, fight this battle as one person, right? So also, like, as I'm sitting in that office, you're also in someone else's office. And so it kind of does feel kind of crazy to, like, as I'm sitting in that office, you're also in someone else's office.

And so it kind of does feel kind of crazy to, like, then now be on them, like, yo, like, what you, you know? So it definitely is always funny to me when people say, like, why don't you say anything? There's so many reasons, valid, regular reasons why you don't say anything. And I love it because most of the people who say that

are people who don't say shit. Like, why are you saying something about me saying something as opposed to talking about rape? Why haven't you ever mentioned anything about rape or sexual assault or rape culture up until this moment? Why is it questioning me that is bringing your voice out as opposed to questioning this whole thing that's been happening for a long time? A lot of guys didn't know

though. No way. About what exactly entailed rape culture. A lot of things that were normal. Like even Russell saying that, he probably been saying that for years and just thought it was normal. Literally, Hassan Hitman was like, he was just being flirty. And mind you, they've written an affidavit saying that none of this happened. And of course, it happened. I don't lie about shit.

But they definitely thought that that was just like, jovial. And you ever spoke to him after at all? Spoke to who? Or seen Russell or spoke to me or anybody? No. In passing, nothing? Now, you see, there's a woman who recently did an interview, right, on Megyn Kelly's show, saying that Russell Simmons raped her twice.

And those are her allegations. He's saying everything he's ever done is consensual. But she talks about a situation where she was doing a documentary or a film, and she went to go interview him. And after the interview, he was like, oh, can you hang behind? I want to talk to you. And she said that was the first incident in 2011. And then she said in 2016, she went back to see him

because he said something about funding her film and trying to help her with it. And then it happened again. And she's suing him for $5 million. And some people feel like she shouldn't have gone back. So that was a discussion that we were having here because, you know, I think she blamed herself. I was literally about

to say that. Look at that. I mean, I literally just said he said something to me and people were like, oh, Russell ain't trying to f*** you. Get out of here. He looked up at your whole neck. You know? Like, what are y'all... Like, stop it.

No, but that's the thing. There's also, like, the fact that for myself, I can say, like, we respect people's work that they've done and the positions they're in, and we respect hip-hop. And as a black woman, like, I'm not trying to, like, just take somebody down in the public eye unnecessarily. For me, yeah, that was a whack situation, but it wasn't enough for me to be like, let me go on blast and put it on.

I literally only mentioned it because people kept asking me, what do you think about what's going on with Russell Simmons? What do you think about what's going on with Russell Simmons? What do you think about what's going on with Russell Simmons? And I said, well, remember when I mentioned this last week where I hadn't said his name? This is who I was talking about. This is who I was talking about. This is who I was talking about. So let's see what I think.

What about Aziz Ansari's situation? See, that's... And his situation, just if people don't know. Yeah. He met this woman, a photographer. She went over his house. She said she gave some nonverbal cues that she wasn't interested. She said he kind of chased her around the apartment.

And then... I don't know what that really means. She said that I think they performed oral Or she performed oral I can't remember No, because he's like fun Like, you know, he's like I mean, are you both naked around the house?

We've all been there, yo You got a girl at the house and y'all naked You, like, can we You gonna be on it You know, she I guess he said to her Look, if we're both not having fun Then this isn't right

And she left Well, no, they actually watched They watched TV together Oh, yeah, they watched right. And she left. Oh no, they actually watched a TV together. Oh yeah, they watched TV and then she left. And then she sent him a text message and he sent her back a message apologizing, saying that he wasn't aware, you know, whatever. Now what do we think about that? I think there's a couple

things with that. I think there is actual legitimate cause to say you need to be aware of your position as someone like, someone of authority in a situation and how that, you know, carries out with other people. But I think there's also something to be said for, like, women having agency. You know, we have agency to say no. And we, in certain situations, lose that agency and that's when it becomes rape right when we say no

and that's ignored but in her situation it doesn't it doesn't seem from what's been said that that is the case and that it was more so that she was uncomfortable like maybe maybe she felt uncomfortable like that it would hurt his feelings it wasn't sexual assault according to what i've heard you know i think it was a dude acting up um doing the most and that he wasn't checked and i think he gave some trash ass and she was sick of that sick of it and wanted to go home i had that happen recently and i learned i learned this from you and my homegirl rachel too sometimes women are in these positions and y'all feel like y'all have to sleep with the guy. Yes. Just to get him to go out. Yes, you're just like, oh, my God.

Yeah, like, I've definitely. You have to sleep with him. I've never heard a pity. You're just like, I've had someone giving me and been like, and it was like, just bad. And I was like, you know what? Maybe I should just have sex. Yeah. Maybe I should just have sex.

Don't tell guys that because then they're going to think that maybe that would be better. But you know what? So it's funny you say that because after that instance, I felt so whack. I remember walking and just feeling like Sarah McLachlan was playing. Like it was just like, I always reference Sarah McLachlan for like those times I'm just like in the arms of an angel. I feel so much better right now if I was in those arms. And I just felt really dirty because I realized that I had not used my agency and I had let someone else deter me from doing what I felt comfortable doing.

And I was like, don't let that happen again. And I found myself in a similar situation a couple of years later with somebody who was like, I bet you if I give you you won't let me hit. And I was like, I bet you I won't. What kind of game is this? And sure enough, after I was

like, alright! We had a thing. Ta-da! And he put a pillow on his head and would not talk to me. And it was a rapper. Wow. So that'll be a feature story in my book.

That's the risk you take as a man, though, because that's a man's trick. Let me put this in or let me just eat it. That's the risk you take. But you know what? The problem is, is, like, sometimes you take L's. Like, that's what life is. You take risks, you know? Sometimes the reward is greater than the risk.

All right, we have more with Amanda Seals. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast is. You take risks, you know. Sometimes the reward is greater than the risk. All right, we have more with Amanda Seals. 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 Breakfast Club. Amanda Seals is in the building.

Charlamagne? We sparked a conversation here. It's about colorism. Ah, yes. Okay, when Miss Amara La Negra was here. Has being light-skinned helped your career? Why are you doing this to me? You're the only light-skinned female, right, that I can think of. Correct.

You are. Yeah. I think help is a strong word. I mean, I think there's always things that happen outside of your consciousness. So I don't know if there have been conversations outside of my awareness that may have been rooted in that. Right. You were like, I'm light-skinned.

Do I get the job? Right. Like, it was never that. I mean, but I think that when it comes to colorism, colorism is an actual real thing that is rooted in how darker-skinned people are discriminated against. And I don't think being light-skinned makes you a part of the colorism conversation in terms of someone who is being discriminated against for your skin color. But I do think that there is still a unique space that happens

when you are a light-skinned person within the black community and within society. You think it's different for women than it is for men, too? I don't know. For light-skinned women as far as light-skinned men?

Because I feel like the perception of men when it comes to color is different than it is for women. I think there's still, like, this kind of idea that, like, light-skinned dudes is pansy. Right. You know, and, like,

all of y'all are Christopher Williams. But is it a stereotype if it's true? Look at that E right now. I'm just saying. Look at that E right now. I find it hard that Charlamagne could call me a beige bitch. He's so mad he can't say that. And you can't say anything back.

And if I say anything back. But that's my. Oh, my gosh. That's part of my issue that I feel like all of this comes from an outside source colorism is not rooted in black people, it's once again as usual rooted in a divisiveness that's created

by an oppressor, right and so then we internalize it within ourselves and now we just fighting amongst ourselves while they over there like, haha, your mom's in jail so is yours, wanna play? That's the symptoms but I that's the symptoms. But I just feel like we have to get a handle on this. I think the whole situation with you and the Afro-Latina colorism community was just simple.

People don't know that you're from South Carolina and that you really just haven't been exposed to those conversations. And people are like, but he knows a lot of Latinas. I'm like, but he's not. Those aren't the conversations that you're having with the Latina women. You know, you're not asking them like, so like, what's your experience, you know, as an Afro-Latina? And I know that maybe they want you to do that, but that's just, I don't, I would be

surprised. So I was listening to you like, oh, I hope that they have a further conversation about this because I think that there's a lot of Americans that don't know this. They don't want that conversation anymore. They don't want that conversation. If you ask somebody something and you don't know, then you're dumb. Then you're Uncle Tom. You should know. Or you're extra.

Like I said, when Dasha Polanco actually hit me about this because she came up here and she talked about being Afro-Latina, explained it then, but with Amara La Negra, even if she's telling us something that maybe you weren't aware of, it is worth listening to. And this is her experience. This is her saying, this is what happens to me.

And it is true. I went and researched it. If you look at the telenovelas, you see it's all women that look like blue eyes and blonde hair. They are very fair-skinned. And she was saying, even auditioning, they were telling her you could be a slave or a prostitute. But you can't get that lead role.

So if that's an issue that's still happening and she's saying, this is my experience, this is what happened, you know, then you're like, okay, I had no idea. But I know this Negro and I knew when he was questioning her, I was like, he's not even, I know him. Like, he's asking something else that he's not

really asking right now. And we had a separate conversation. And I wish people would also understand that who are listening and who are watching. Like, you're not going to get access to every conversation that happens between people in the public space. Like, it's just not the way it is. And people feel like they have a right to you. They have a, they have a, like, they deserve, they're entitled to everything about you because you're in the public space. And sometimes you just need to trust that if I had a conversation with a n***a

and we're still cool, you should be cool. I have enough of a track record at this point to know that I'm not out here just running around with the n***a. But I know you hear guys say things like, oh, I only like light-skinned girls. So that's real. And guys really say that in songs, everywhere. Yes, I had a dude be like, you know, I don't understand why you single.

Like, you literally said, you light-skinned, yellow even. So I was like, bruh, yellow even. And I'm hyper-aware of the disparities the disparities like you would never have caught me playing nina simone because i feel like get out of here like that's that's just crazy that would be bad casting though in my opinion yes it was bad casting but it's literally about having the consciousness though to know that a lot of the people who are making these decisions don't have the access to the knowledge of colorism that I have internally being a black woman in this space. But, you know, there's just there's just a lot of like misinformation that happens and a lot of emotions that happen.

And like there's a difference between an argument and debates. And like we don't have enough debates anymore. Like debates are fact based, you know, conversations from opposing sides. Arguments is when emotion comes in. And that's why, like, you don't have debates with your spouse or your partner. You have arguments because you're not only debating the issue, but you're arguing because you're just like, not only are we debating this issue, but I don't even like the fact that you have this issue. And so. You want to win.

In that case, you don't care about it. But your emotions are, like, rooted in, like, the fact that, like, you like this person, but you don't like what they're saying. Whereas a debate is just like, I don't even know you. I don't even know you. And we should be able to just have an exchange and agree to disagree. We have debates where Charlamagne will be like, no, this is how I feel about this. And I am standing next to that. Yes, in my mind, that's how he sounds.

He's like, because this is the way it is. Is that the list? That's the list. He's like, this is the way it is. I think it was bullshit. I think that's tripping. And no, I'm not fucking with you. I'm the list? That's the list. He's like, this is the way it is. I think it was bullshit. I think that n***a tripping. And nah, like, I'm not f***ing with it. I'm not f***ing with it.

Straight up. Straight up. And the wax is on the side. And he's like, word. I don't need to pay attention to it. And then I'll be like, well, no, because I really feel like, you know, and I get in like my white girl high pitch. And I'm like, well, I feel like the real problem is I start using like Columbia words.

I'm like, this is really disdainful and deleterious to the pragmatism of the situation. And then we realize that, like, we're not going to come to a consensus. And then it's like, all right. All we do, like, I like the colorism conversation because at the end of that, what dawned on me was the struggles that they've experienced in Latin America are very similar to the struggles that black Americans have faced here in America. Absolutely. So if we both know each other's history, we should know that and then use that to come together here in America. But the thing is, you just didn't know her history. I mean, I knew

Afro-Latino history, but not to the extent that I think I know it now. I just found out when I went to Cuba. Like, I really didn't understand the extent to which Spain wreaked havoc on this globe. You know, I think for what it's worth, we are an American colony that, we were a British colony that became American, and so was an American colony that we were a British colony that became American.

And so was Grenada in terms of a British colony that became Grenadian. So like my access to colonialism has for the most part been about British rule. But then when I was in Cuba, just hearing about how Spain. But that's the conquistadors, right? Yeah, the conquistadors. Nice. Yes, conquistadors. And, you know.

Why is he saying nice like you're a third grader? Because that's not a word I need. Good job. I just heard a word called quesador on a Thursday morning in a minute. So, but they really, like when you think about it and you're like,

how many Spanish speaking countries are there? You're like, well, they weren't Spanish speaking until Spain showed up and was like, you speak Spanish now. And what had to go down for that to happen? And then you have folks in those countries who have completely

disregarded their indigenous ancestry or their African ancestry and have been like, we're Spanish. And it's like, no, you speak Spanish because of a colonizer. So to your point, though, I just didn't know. And people were mad on my Instagram when I said I didn't know

until I came to Cuba and saw this. And people were like, how you don't know that? That's how you learn. But I know so much other stuff. I know so much other stuff. I know all the words to slap my knob. I know so much other stuff. Let me hear it. Amanda. I know so much other stuff. There you go. Let me hear it.

Amanda. I know a nickel defense. Like, I know so much other stuff. All right. Well, thank you for joining us. Amanda Seals. Thanks for having me, guys. Give me the dates again for Caroline. Caroline's February 1st, 730. That's tonight. February 2nd, 730 and 10.

Saturday, 730 and 10. Go get your tickets now. And it's The Breakfast Club. It's Miss Amanda Seals.30 and 10. Saturday, 7.30 and 10. Go get your tickets now. And it's The Breakfast Club with Ms. Amanda Seals. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip.

The rumor report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Well, following these accusations from a former employee, Tristan Cooper Smith, Charlie Walk has resigned from the show The Four.

Wow. Now, he will be on this week's episode, which was pre-taped, but he will not be on any more episodes after this. He has issued a statement following Republic Records placing him on leave after accusations of sexual harassment. He said, out of respect for the contestants, my fellow judges, and everyone involved with the show, I have made the decision not to attend the finale of The Four. I do not want my presence to be a distraction.

Needless to say, this is very upsetting. Although I continue to support the Me Too movement, there has been an extreme rush to judgment against me in this particular case, which is unfair and inconsistent with anything that even actually happened. But do you still get a deal with Republic if you win? Or is that off the table too? Well, I'm sure it's probably still on the table. He just might not be there. He's on leave right now from Republic.

So I don't know what's going to end up happening. By the way, you can release all the long statements you want, but when you resign like that, people automatically look at that as an admission of guilt. Well, he's on leave from the record label, so he hasn't resigned, I guess, while they're investigating. Oh, he resigned from the fall. But he did, yes.

There was only one more episode left, so he's just now going to the finale. So who knows what's going to happen for the next season. Yeah, I'm sure you have more than a one-season contract. All right, Tammy Roman is going to be returning to Basketball Wives LA. So on the new season, she's going to be joined by Evelyn Lozada, Jackie Christie, Jennifer Williams, Shoni O'Neal, and they're also going to have two new castmates

who have a connection with a former NBA player, Byron Scott. So they're trying to get his current girlfriend. I want to see Tammy Roman on that. I want to see Tammy Roman doing like the Bonnet Chronicles or something. I want to see Tammy Roman expressing her personality. I enjoy her POV. Well, she might have a reason because she said on Shade Room, she said sometimes you got to give to get.

Wait for it. So maybe she's doing that to promote her other stuff. Or maybe they gave her a deal for something else. She had to come back to this. It happens all the time. Now, speaking of her bonnet chronicles, here's what she had to say about Kim's very sexy, revealing photos that were posted on social media.

Your black car gets revoked today, Kanye, because it ain't a black man alive that would let his wife pose for the gram like that unless he's pippin'. Kim, I just want to say, honor the stage of life that you're in right now. You're a wife, you're a mother of three beautiful kids, and you're a businesswoman. We cannot negate the fact that you have built an empire. And maybe you're just doing what you know how to do. The only thing you know how to do, how you got into business, I don't know.

But you passed that now, okay? And we're not negating the fact that you have been consistent in building your brand and your family's empire. When you get the camera and you go to the mirror, think about what would Beyonce do. And it ain't that. Drop on a glue bomb for Tammy Roman. I ain't hearing no lies. One thing I probably don't agree with is the beginning, because these dudes definitely be letting their women be on Instagram half-naked, okay? And back in the day, guys used to date strippers and be wife and strippers, and strippers would be in the strip club stripping their ass off. But she's damn near fully naked, though. But she's been naked in Playboy magazine before

She has a sex tape out Think about when we was growing up And these dudes was in wife and stripper Like these girls with strippers Being in the strip club with them guys But Kim K ain't a stripper Still though, what's the difference Between dating a stripper

And having your girl be on Instagram half naked Only thing changed is the technology What's the difference? Can you guys be naked on social media? Or will it get flagged? Who? You and Envy. I don't have that kind of print.

If you notice, I wear a lot of gray pants all the time. I don't have that kind of print. So I would never play myself like that. And when it be a print, you'll be naked. I'd never play myself like that. All right, Leslie Jones. I'm a grower, not a shower. I'm a grower, not a shower. This was a really concerning post that she put on Instagram.

She posted a selfie of herself in a gym. And she said, okay, back to cardio. But confession, I feel like I'm doing it for nothing. I know it's not I'm healthy and look good, but I really feel like what's it all for if the people you want to notice don't. I just feel like I might die alone. Sorry, that's pretty heavy today.

That was so sad to me to read something like that. She didn't go into any further detail about anything, but I guess she was feeling really down. Sleuth to Leslie Jones. Drop on the clues box for Leslie Jones. Last time I was up at SNL I introduced Leslie to Wax because Wax is always talking about Leslie saying that's his sister. When I introduced him

Leslie goes, I can see that. Yep. Okay. Alright, and Quavo is in trouble. Allegedly somebody is saying that he beat them up at One Oak in New York City. The alleged victim is Eric the jeweler. He reported that incident to the NYPD. And according to law enforcement sources, he's saying that it was Quavo that allegedly did it.

Yeah, I can't imagine. No, I don't believe him. Because he didn't say the Migos jumped him. Quavo ain't jumping nobody by himself. At offset and takeoff, he ain't letting him jump nobody. Eric the Jeweler is saying that he got jumped by Quavo and another man who was partying with the group. But he said it wasn't offset and it wasn't takeoff.

But it was Amigo. He just don't know. He wasn't one that raps. Now he's also saying when he left the club, he realized that his $30,000 chain was missing as well. So now he's also filing a robbery report with the cops. So that's what he is trying to say. Gotta hit both sides, man.

Well, look, good thing about most of them clubs, they all have cameras in there. What happened? Why did Quavo or whoever take off on you? Or whoever? Why would it win down? If it win down. All right.

Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Missy. Charlemagne! Yes. Who you giving that donkey to? Listen, man, we Thank you, Miss Yee. Charlemagne. Yes. Who are we giving that donkey to? Listen, man, we all have filled out job applications.

We all have put down former employees for references. This is a reason that a former employee gave for somebody not getting a job. I don't think you've ever heard anything like this. All right. We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

I was born a donkey. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. Donkey, donkey, donkey. One, two, three, four. It's time for the donkey of the day. That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the devil? Possibly.

The Breakfast Club. Donkey of the day for February 1st, 2018. The first day of Black History Month goes to Justin Payne. Now, you have no idea who Justin Payne is. Just know that it's the first day of Black History Month, and Negroes is already embarrassing us, okay? Just know that black people are not a monolith, and Justin Payne is part of a tribe called Jackass.

And a tribe called Jackass is a crew of individuals brought together not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their dumbass character. Now, we've all had jobs, and when you apply for a job, you have to put down references in previous work history. This is why no matter what happens at whatever job you work for, you should always strive, you know, to leave a good impression. It doesn't always work that way, but that should be the goal,

because when you apply for another job and they call you an old job, you want them to give you a glowing report. OK, well, Justin Payne was trying to get a job in New Orleans, not just any job. He wanted to be a police officer. I'm not mad at that. Twenty six year old young black man wants to be a cop. I actually encourage that. OK, the best way to change the system is to be a part of it. So I will always salute brothers who want to be law enforcement. We need people from the community, police in the

community, and I assume Justin wanted to do just that. Now, I don't know how hard it is to become a cop, but I'm sure the background check is ridiculous. I'm sure it's intense. Your father's a cop, Envy, right? Yes. Retired. Retired, but I'm sure that background check is ridiculous, right? Yep. So if you put down a reference or

a former employer, they gonna call. Okay, well, Justin Payne applied to be a cop in New Orleans on October of 2017. And he put down as a reference a former employer in Chicago called Southwest Side Trucking Company. The New Orleans Police Department sent a reference request to Justin's former employers. And Justin's name raised the red flag for Southwest Side Trucking Company. And I guarantee nobody out here could guess why. Nobody listening to my voice right now could guess why. I want you to think about any former employer you have ever had.

And I want you to think about all the reasons you may get a bad reference from a former employer. Tardiness, poor performance. Stealing. Stealing. Right. Quit without notice. Falsifying a time sheet. Not getting along with your manager.

Those are pretty common reasons that you will get a poor reference from a former employer. Well, there's nothing common about Justin Payne because Southwest Side Trucking Company called Chicago police, who in turn called New Orleans police to alert them that Justin Payne was a suspect in a nearly year-old murder case. Now, it gets better. It gets better. Well, actually, it gets worse. But because of the circumstances, it gets better. It gets better. Well, actually, it gets worse, but because of the circumstances, it gets better for this donkey of the day. See, Justin Payne worked in Chicago for Louis Pina, a 64-year-old who was found

dead the morning of December 30th, 2016. Rest in peace to him. He was found in his office trailer of his firm in the 4200 block of South Keating. Chicago police had been called for a report of a person shot, but Pina, a West Lawn neighborhood resident, died of multiple blunt force and sharp force injuries and an assault.

Okay, no arrests were made in the days after the attack. Well, New Orleans police asked Payne to come to their headquarters under the pretense of providing more information for his job application. Well, when Justin showed up, he was met by Chicago detectives, he was pressed, and he later confessed to the killing. Let me put this in layman terms for you. Justin Plain applied to be a cop in New Orleans and puts down Southwest Side Trucking Company as a reference.

At Southwest Side Trucking Company, he worked for a man named Louis Pina, and Justin Plain killed Louis Pina. Yes, he killed his former boss and still put his former job down as a reference. Now, I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, okay, but I have worked at four other radio stations in my life. I worked at Taco Bell. I worked at Demo in the Mall. I did telemarketing, a bunch of places.

But if I wanted to be a cop, right, and I know I had killed someone at one of those previous jobs, I don't think I'd put that former employee as a reference. Nah, me neither. I don't even understand why Justin Payne put them down as a reference, period. You killed your boss, applied to be a cop, and put down your former employer as a job reference. Yeah. Justin Payne has a warrant for his arrest now for first-degree murder,

and he is jailed without bond in New Orleans and is waiting to be extradited to Chicago. Some donkey of the days just sell themselves. Please let Justin Payne hear the smooth voice of Remy Modest morning, please. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother f***er. You dumb. All right.

Well, shout out to everybody in New Orleans. I'm headed to New Orleans today. Okay. We're Inspire NOLA charter schools, so. All right, well, have fun. Did you catch a body? Since we're talking about New Orleans. No, she didn't catch a body.

No, I definitely have never murdered anyone. That you know of. That I know of. There you go. Alright, Ask Ye is next. 800-585-1051. If you got a question for Ye,

call her now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Ye. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Ye.

Hello, who's this? Hello, hi. I'm calling from Miami. I wonder if you know who this is. Okay. Alright, what's your question for Yee? Okay, Yee, I've been with my partner for like 10 years and I mean, I met him as a virgin and

now we're engaged. We got engaged this year on New Year's and I just I want him to be with someone else before we get married. I feel weird and I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this way. But I don't want to be his last option. I don't want to be the last person he gets with and we're together forever and ever and ever. You're not his last option, Anonymous. You're his first option. You're his first choice

and his only choice. Because I didn't meet him as a virgin, but he was. Okay, so does he want to have sex with somebody else? I never brought it up. He only says no. Okay, well then he doesn't. Why would you try to make him do something that he doesn't even want to do? I think

it's commendable. You know how rare it is to find a guy who hasn't had sex with anybody else, and then you end up marrying him, and that's the only person he'll be with his whole life? And if that's what makes him happy, then why do you feel like you're not enough? Because I feel outnumbered. Like, I've had, you know, I've had sex before him, and, you know, he hasn't. And it's just weird to me. Is that a problem for him? He's brought it up

throughout the years, but it just feels like a burden. Like, what does he say when he brings it up? I guess conversations he would have with his friends, like, oh, you know, you and her, you know, when we had our breaks, like, it would tell him, okay, this could have been your chance

to step out. Well, his friends need to mind their damn business, because clearly they don't know anything. But, I just fear that him doing that might harm your relationship more than it helps it. So, if you were to encourage him to do that, it could be feelings that you've never experienced that

you might be having. It could be some doubt that it creates for him. Anything could go wrong if you encourage him to do something like that. I don't know why you would create a problem and not just accept the blessing of this is the person that he wants to be with. I'm the person he wants to be with for the rest of his

life and I'm good enough and that's all he needs. Okay. I get that. Thank you. I mean, I guess I'll see it as a blessing. It is a blessing. Don't create issues where there are none because now you'll put a strain on the relationship. I wouldn't even try to put that idea in his head

because then that makes it feel like you're not too confident in what your relationship is and in yourself. You know, it happens the reverse way all the time as well. There's a lot of times that men are with a woman and they're her first and she's never with anybody else and those relationships can time as well. There's a lot of times that men are with a woman and they're her first and she's never with anybody else and those relationships can last as well. Alright, thanks Yee. Good luck and congratulations

on you two for being together and getting married and everything. Thank you. Alright, Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you got a question for Yee, call her now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Call her now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? This is Lynn. Hey, Lynn. What's your question for Yee? I want to know if I should be with my current husband of 11 years that we've been together after I caught him with a prostitute. Oh, man.

So how did you catch him? We were drinking and went to a bar and he got a little bit wasted because I guess he was upset with me. Long story short, he acted out like he always do

for his yelling, screaming, acting crazy in public. He grabbed me and made me get in the car with him and, you know, the ride was crazy.

By the time we got to the destination which was at home, he come and get out the car and when i got the car um i got in my car he's my oh now you're gonna leave and i'm like to me i took it like you want me to leave so then or something and he was like hey you know maybe you should follow him um i'm like that's not something i really do so um i waited a little while and i

hurry up this you know kind of following him a little bit and then i'm like where is he going because we were driving for like 30 minutes and the town, you know, the state we live in is Texas, so it's pretty big. So I followed him and then I seen him pull up to this hotel. And when I noticed, I seen like, this is a hotel for whores. Like I seen like, maybe like one whore outside. And then I seen the person just like walk up to his car and then she got in and they were in the car for a minute so i knew i knew exactly what was going on at this point and then i had my gun on me oh you're good yes i mean i carry a gun i'm licensed to carry a gun and but you know i've never been in trouble and at this point when i thought about my gun something in me

was like you need to leave i was like you know what i have my gun, something in me was like, you need to leave. I was like, you know what? I have my gun on me. This is the first thing I'm thinking about. I need to leave. So I sat there for like two minutes, and then I left. The person was still in his car, so I pulled up to like a gas station and just sat there for a while. I finally made it home. And then like about two hours later, he walks in the door like nothing happened and goes to get in the shower.

I didn't say anything to him because I don't think that he knew I knew, you know, what I saw. And then the next day, I act like nothing happened. I'm just, you know, crying inside like I can't believe this is happening. Lynn, just one second. One second. So you've never confronted him about this? No, I actually, this is actually how I confronted him. I waited like a day or two, you know, of course, it was stressful.

And he never told me where he went. Finally, he says, oh, I want to play basketball. That's what I do to release stress. And I'm like, okay, I do know him to do that. But this is like the second time that the prostitute name has came up. And I'll get to that. But long story short, so he worked till late tonight, sometime overnight. And so I texted him and I was like, you know, it really hurts that you were the one that started the argument at the restaurant

and then you had the audacity to leave all night and not even show any remorse. And then he goes, I apologize. I said, did you cheat? And he was like, no, I never cheated on you since we've been married. I said, are you being honest? He said, yes.

And I said, okay, so be honest. Did you go to a hotel? And I didn't get a text back for like two minutes and then he picked back and said yes I went to a hotel a girl named Red got in my car and we were just sitting there for 15 minutes I just talked about what happened between you and I and um nothing happened and I'm thinking to myself if he said I paid her to talk and I'm like you said I said I'm a type of person I'm not argumentative. Lynn I just want to myself, and he said I paid her to talk. And I'm like, I said, I'm the type of person, I'm not argumentative. Lynn, I just want to interrupt you for a second,

because there's a lot of red flags in this whole entire story. First of all, you said that when you guys were out, right, drinking and everything, and he got mad, started an argument, and pulled you in the car like he always does. So it seems like this is a normal circumstance for you guys with these arguments. To be honest, it's like I fell in love with him too quick, and then after I figured out how his family is, I mean, they all, like, don't care where they are,

if they with someone and, you know, they have an issue. So that's the first red flag, and then he was driving, but you guys were drinking, so he was driving drunk. Yes, he had, like, about four or five drinks, and he said he wasn't drunk, but he was upset and driving crazy, yeah. All right, so you guys both could have had a situation where you could have been killed in that situation. Yes. And this just sounds like a really toxic relationship.

It also feels like you felt the need to follow him because you knew something was off. So clearly our women's intuition lets us know when something isn't right. Yeah. Okay. So not only do you guys always argue in public, not only did he grab you, putting you in the car, not only did he jeopardize your life by driving drunk and you went along with him, then after that he actually left and you knew to follow him because you knew something was up and you've been knowing something was up and then he lied to you when you confronted him

and then he's still acting like he didn't do anything wrong. And it seems like you don't even really want to confront him. Well, I mean, he's a pretty strong guy. So you're scared of him. I mean, to an extent. But Lynn, what about you? You keep on giving him passes and it seems like you're more concerned about him than you are with yourself. True.

So why is that? What about you? Why don't you put yourself first? Are you happy? No, actually no. Okay, and I think that's the bigger issue is that you're putting his happiness above your happiness, understanding him more than you are trying to make sure that you're good. And I think what you need to do is really sit down

and think about what would make you happy. And it doesn't seem right now like it's him for a variety of different reasons. And if you're letting him get away with these things, you're not confronting him about it, it seems like you're scared to even say anything to him. That's the bigger issue. Not only is he cheating,

but he's also endangering your life. And it also, physically, how are you supposed to have sex with somebody that's lying to you and can't even admit that he has an issue? And the fact that he has whatever mental, you know, issues that he has, he needs to get help for that. It can't be a burden to you where you're putting him before you. I mean, hearing you say it makes sense now. You just said I always idea to try to explain. But listen, hold on the line. I'm going to get your information so we can talk some more.

Hold on, all right? All right, ASCII, 805-85-1051. If you got a question for you, you can call anytime. Now, you got rumors on the way? Yes, we are going to be talking about Russell Simmons. More fallout for him after these accusations. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Russell Simmons. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.

Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. Well, in the wake of all of these accusations of sexual misconduct against him, Russell Simmons is not going to be in Oprah's The Wisdom of Sunday spirituality book anymore. Now, Oprah made that decision along with her publisher, and they just disclosed that yesterday.

So, editions of the book in stores next month. It's just not going to have the Russell Simmons section any longer. So far, at least 12 women have come forward with accusations, and some of them have detailed their stories on Megyn Kelly today. Now, Russell Simmons has denied these allegations on social media and the NYPD has revealed publicly that they are reviewing information on that matter. I would love to see how they come to these type of moral decisions because I actually have Oprah's Wisdom of Sunday book. I love it. The young brother is in there that committed the murder. What's the young brother we had up here? Shaka Singh Orr? Yeah, Shaka Singh Orr. Yeah, something like that.

Now, he murdered somebody, right? And then, you know, repentance came, and I guess over time. He turned his life around. He turned his life around. I mean, we don't know if Russell actually did these things that he's accused of, but didn't he turn his life around from what we see? Well, I don't know, because some of these things happened just last year, allegedly. So it's just hard to think right now.

How we weigh things on a moral scale. To say take it out the book altogether, I don't know. But I guess I got a collector's item now because I have the book with Russell Simmons part to it. All right, well, L.A. Reid, who is the former CEO of Sony Music Entertainment's Epic Records, is now coming back into the music industry. He was ousted last year over sexual harassment allegations, but now he's coming back. He is going to be launching Hitco, which is a music and publishing company.

So we'll see if what has allegedly happened will affect that business that he has going on. Will women work with L.A. Reid? We shall see. Now let's discuss Black Panther. Roxanne Gay and Yona Harvey were the first black women lead writers for Marvel back in 2016 when they worked on Black Panther.

And that is the basis, obviously, for the movie that's coming out. But they did not invite Roxanne to the L.A. debut of the movie. Oh, damn. Yes, and she tweeted out, My feelings are real hurt that I didn't get an invite to the Black Panther premiere. I mean, goddamn, Marvel, goddamn. She said, And I mean, it's fine. I'm not fancy just admitting that my little feelings were hurt.

I'm still thrilled about the movie and can't wait to see it. Oh, you think you popping with your little Black Panther writing credits and then boom, you don't get invited to the L.A. premiere. Did you get invited to the L.A. premiere? No, but I ain't writing for Black Panther either. How'd you get invited to the L.A. premiere? Well, then she goes on to say, well, had something come up yesterday, but this was just a tweet.

It wasn't meant to become a thing. I was just sharing a personal L. You know, pulling the curtains back. The comics and movies are different entities. I just felt, as I said, bummed to not be invited. Oh, she wrote the comic. Yes. Oh, yeah. The movie is based on. Did Ta-Nehisi

Coates get invited? Ta-Nehisi Coates? Did Reggie Hudlin get invited? There's been a lot of writers for Black Panther. Well, I don't know if they did or not. Yeah. They should have all got invited. But then you got to invite the people who actually drew in the comic before. She's not saying that she should have been, but she's saying that her feelings were hurt, and she was just revealing that. You can have your feelings hurt that you weren't invited.

Well, you think you're popping because you wrote for a Black Panther comic, and then boom, you don't get invited to the Black Panther movie from here. Anyway, Octavia Spencer posted, I will be in Mississippi when this movie opens. I think I will buy out a theater in an underserved community there to ensure all our brown children can see themselves as a superhero. I will let you know where and when, Mississippi. Stay tuned.

Well, I got a theater on the 13th. Oh, you brought out the theater? It seats 300 people. So, you know, we're going to be in there doing what we do. Are you going to dress up? You know I'm wearing my Black Panther Halloween costume. Oh, my goodness. I wore my Black Panther.

Listen, I was Black Panther for Halloween last year. My wife was Storm. You know I'm wearing my costume, okay? And I'm going to the Marvel premiere on the 12th, all okay? And I'm going to the Marvel premiere on the 12th. Alright? And I'm going back for my screening on the 13th. Who's his nemesis? Killmonger. Killmonger. So you're going to go just as Killmonger? I'm going to be Killmonger.

First of all, Michael B. Jordan is Killmonger. So that's impossible, sir. Unless you plan to have a lot of plastic surgery before the 13th. Does he have a mask? No, he doesn't wear a mask. Don't you go on blackface, Envy. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
