I don't know who was sitting in these chairs. They must have had to cast the little people of Atlanta. There's like 10 chairs in here now. And they're all low. Like super low to the ground.

Starting point is 00:04:06 He brought out Cam'ron. He brought out, who else did he bring out? Lil' Kim. Babs in Brooklyn, so he got to do it big. Yeah, he kept the real New York sounds like. It was really, really dope. And then Chris Brown killed it. It was a great show.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I mean, it was one of those shows, when Brooklyn comes out, when Brooklyn's in town, it's ridiculous. It was crazy in there, I'm not going to lie. Every Brooklyn person,, when Brooklyn comes out, when Brooklyn's in town, it's ridiculous. It was crazy in there, I'm not going to lie. Every Brooklyn person, they tried to break through the doors to get in. I mean, they tried everything to get in there last night, but it was a great, great show. Shout out to Chris Brown and to Tina for those tickets. Appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Drop one of these bombs for Brooklyn being consistent. They are. All right. Don't ever think you still can't get robbed in Brooklyn. I know all the juice bars and the gentrification may fool you, but Brooklyn Negroes are still Brooklyn Negroes. Right, and you know what? They shut the doors down.
Starting point is 00:04:50 This is what you got to love about Brooklyn. They shut the doors down. There was a fight, so they shut the doors down. Oh, there was? Before I got in. So there was one dude I didn't know, but he was from Brooklyn. He was like, yo, y'all not going to let Envy in?
Starting point is 00:05:01 All right, I'll figure this out. Then he went. Yeah, I'll figure this out. I don't even know. I don't even know. I don't even know. He went and got a cop. It was like, Envy's supposed to be on stage in 15 minutes. And they escorted me in the back.
Starting point is 00:05:12 So you couldn't even do this yourself. No, I couldn't. Some stranger had to do this. Just some Brooklyn dude escorted me. I thought you was about to tell me a good Brooklyn story. They was like, y'all ain't going to let Envy in? All right, let's bum rush the door. That's what I thought you was about to tell me.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Now, did he get in also with you? He was getting everybody in. It was crazy. But he was outside? He was outside. Like, yo, come on, Envy, yo. Yo, score Envy in right now. So he didn't want to go in.
Starting point is 00:05:33 He just wanted to help people get in. I don't know. You know that Brooklyn talk where it makes you, like, you better do it because you know what it is? They're like, score him in the stage right now. He's got to be on in five minutes. It was like the Robin Hood of concerts. No.
Starting point is 00:05:41 You understand? Yes. All right, this is dope. By the way, if you're in Brooklyn and somebody trying to help you, they're lining you up. I just want you to know that. No, Brooklyn people are good people. They're lining you up to get robbed. No, Brooklyn people are good people.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Hey, come this way. I'll show you where to go. Yeah, don't go that way. You go around that corner, there'll be three dudes in black hoodies. They'll be on the ground. Don't go that way. All right?

Starting point is 00:06:02 because we went out and actually had drinks beforehand. He said, I'm in Brooklyn. Come meet me. I guess they did the XXL freshman shoot in Brooklyn yesterday. So, yeah. Well, that was a great show. That was a great night. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news. What are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:06:15 Well, let's talk about Shea Moisture. You know we all use Shea Moisture. Well, people are upset at them. We'll tell you why. Also, Barack Obama returns. We'll tell you what he had to say at the University of Chicago. Alright, we'll get into all also Barack Obama returns. We'll tell you what he had to say at the University of Chicago. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Good morning. Angela Yee, Charlotte. Let's get into some front page news. The NBA playoffs last night. The Raptors beat the Bucs, 118-93. Raptors lead the series 3-2. Atlanta Hawks beat Washington, 111-101. They tied a series 2-2.
Starting point is 00:06:43 And the Warriors swept Portland Portland 128-103. Damn, Damian Lillard jumped out there with the we gonna beat the Golden State Warriors in six. That didn't happen. I mean, listen, there's nothing wrong with trying to speak things into fruition, but you actually got to go out there and execute. Clearly they didn't execute. Yeah, that's a difficult one.
Starting point is 00:06:58 But Obama's back. Obama's back. Yes, this is the first time we've heard from Obama, his first formal public appearance since he left office in January. Now, he was at the University of Chicago, and it was a civic engagement panel, which featured Chicago high school and college students and young leaders. And here's what he had to say. On the back end now of my presidency, now that it's completed,
Starting point is 00:07:22 I'm spending a lot of time thinking about what is the most important thing I can do for my next job. What I'm convinced of is that although there are all kinds of issues that I care about and all kinds of issues that I intend to work on, the single most important thing I can do is to help in any way I can prepare the next generation of leadership to take up the baton and to take their own crack at changing the world. That's it. I mean, that's all it's about in any field, really. Like when you have a certain experience or a certain number of years in your field,
Starting point is 00:07:55 it's all about helping the next generation. He also wrote a memoir since he's been gone from the public eye. And he also said that Americans should become more involved in local politics. And one thing he also said was worry less about what you want to be and worry more about what you want to do. Alright. Now what happened with Shea Moisture? Alright, Shea Moisture has had to pull an ad
Starting point is 00:08:16 because social media went crazy on them. Now the ad launches with a black woman and she's discussing the difficulties of dealing with her natural hair. But then there's two white women, a blonde woman and a redhead. And here discussing the difficulties of dealing with her natural hair. But then there's two white women, a blonde woman and a redhead. And here's how it went. People would like throw stuff in my hair.
Starting point is 00:08:33 And then I'd just be walking and there'd be like little paper balls in my hair. I hated it because it's like, oh, I have this. And people make fun of me for it. It was lots of days staring in the mirror like, I don't know what to do with it. I just didn't feel like I was supposed to be a redhead. I dyed my hair blonde for seven years of my life. Platinum blonde. I didn't really embrace my natural hair.
Starting point is 00:08:54 But then, you know, as I got older, I learned how to do it and I learned how to love it. Shea Moisture. Holy Grow right here. It just gives us all the results that we need. So the issue here is this. Shea Moisture has been known for catering to the black community and had deep ties. We've actually done a lot of stuff with Shea Moisture up here as well. But for some reason, they're doing this whole campaign. The message that they were trying to get across was break free from hair hate.
Starting point is 00:09:14 But loyal consumers felt like it was insensitive to what is supposed to be their core base. Why do we have to cater to other people if this is supposed to be for women and people of color? What is hair hate? I guess hair should see no color hair product. I don't know. I'm confused. I'm going to be honest. Even yesterday, because I had my homegirls hitting me, like, you got to give Shea Moist a donkey today.
Starting point is 00:09:37 I tried to look into it, but I didn't understand. I don't know what's going on. Well, I'm going to tell you what their apology said, so maybe it'll help you better understand it. They issued an apology. They said, wow, okay, so guys, we really F'd this one up. Please know that our intention was not and would never be to disrespect our community,
Starting point is 00:09:53 and as such, we are pulling this piece immediately because it does not represent what we intended to communicate. Now, they're talking about they stood for inclusion always and beauty and have always fought for our community and given them credit for not just building our business, but for shifting the beauty landscape. So what they're feeling like is the consumers looked at it as you guys used us. This was your fan base. And then now you feel like, OK, we've gotten big enough.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Let's get away from our black community. Let's cross over. And cross over and start catering. Stop doing rap music and do pop music. Like BET giving Gary Owens a TV show? There you go. No. Gary's dropping the click bombs for Gary. Yes. That's not a good example. I'm going to be honest
Starting point is 00:10:31 with you. I'm still confused about this whole situation. Me too. I guess I get it, but I don't know. Alright.

When did that happen? He did not know where his mom was from his whole life. So when I was going down to Columbia to do the party,

I'm mad because I'm a little bit mad at all of y'all because y'all out sure you have to get up there and poison a youth and spit a lot of garbage. And nobody checked him.
Starting point is 00:15:27 He was looking like a real cornball up there. And nobody said nothing. What do you mean nobody checked him? Because I definitely said a lot. What do you mean? Well, I think people come up here and express themselves and tell what they feel. I'm not going to tell you. I definitely said a lot to him.

And you have also a great opportunity to touch a lot of people out there because you're the new wave. You're the new movement, Charlamagne. And I just want you to know, like, a lot of things you go through,
Starting point is 00:16:14 a lot of people wouldn't do. Like, when they try to front on you that day and they try to act like they were going to jump you, and a lot of people said, you know, they would have fought. And I'm looking at them like, you got to be crazy. I'm not fighting more than one person at a time, let alone three or four. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Sir, you're losing focus right now, which you were mad about. I don't even know what's going on right now. Well, we appreciate you for listening.

All right, listen. Don't hang up on me. I still want to know what happened with Troy Ab. You can't leave him with this kind of cliffhanger. Hold on. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Get him back to Troy Ab. All right. Usually, you know, y'all would. I'm not saying that y'all were scared. Nothing like that. I'm not even coming across like that. But I'm just saying, he had a lot that could have been checked on. Just by his, what he's talking about, people shooting,
Starting point is 00:17:10 and he want people to stand up and not run and duck and hide. And you had a lot to come at him on. And I just thought he kind of got a little bit of a pass, just a little bit of a pass when he was up there. Because he looked like a fool. And nobody really made him feel like there because he looked like a fool and nobody really made him feel like how he looked, like a fool.
Starting point is 00:17:29 But it's an interview. You let people talk. You ask them questions. They answer the questions. I'm not going to tell you how you should answer it. Not only that, we weren't there
Starting point is 00:17:35 for any of his shootings, so we don't know what happened. We just let him talk and see what he had to say. Especially you, Lightskin. You, Lightskin, I know definitely,
Starting point is 00:17:44 I've been seeing, you be having something to say, Lightskin. You, Light Skin, I know definitely. I've been seeing you be having something to say, Light Skin. You be really wanting to tell dudes, like, put down the guns. But you can't really tell dudes what. We did tell them put down the guns. We did. I think you just don't like Trey F. Yeah, I think that's what it is, too. I told him to talk like that's not the way.
Starting point is 00:18:03 Wouldn't you rather be the weirdo rapper? But I understand where the guy's coming from. Hello, who's this? Hello, good morning. My name is Ivard. Ivard. I'm from Atlanta. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Why are you blessed this morning? I'm blessed because I have an amazing wife, man. I've been married to her nine years, been together for 13. And you know what I'm saying? She's been holding me down even when I had nothing, man. There you go. Shout out, man. What's her name?
Starting point is 00:18:24 Her name is Samantha. Yes. All right, Samantha. Keep holding him down. when I had nothing, man. There you go. Shout out, man. What's her name? Her name is Samantha. All right, Samantha. Keep holding them down. She with you now? Say it again? She with you now? No, I'm on the road. I'm a truck driver.
Starting point is 00:18:33 I'm out here in Ohio driving, you know what I'm saying? And she's at home taking care of the two kids that we have, two beautiful daughters. Well, be safe on them roads, bro. Appreciate it, man. Have a good one. All right. Get it off your chest.
Starting point is 00:18:44 That's what we're calling it now. 800-585-1051. You just changed it? Yeah, we got to. I mean, because people call it mad. They're blessed. They're both. So just get it off your chest. Have we got rumors on the way? Yes. How can somebody be racist about a baby? We'll tell you what's going on with Serena Williams and her unborn child. Okay. All that and more. Keep it
Starting point is 00:18:59 locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them.
Starting point is 00:19:13 With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Serena Williams, super excited to be having this baby, but there's been a little bit of nastiness. All right. Now, a tennis star now. A tennis star, a former tennis star, Elie Nastase, had some things to say. He was allegedly heard saying,
Starting point is 00:19:31 let's see what color it is. Chocolate with milk. That's what they heard him saying during a press conference. Because, you know, Serena is engaged to a white man. Drop one of Clues bombs for that white man. Alexis Ohanian. Alexis Ohanian is out here making great decisions in life. That's a pretty weird thing to say about somebody who's having a baby.
Starting point is 00:19:50 And so that went viral and he actually has been, right now, they're investigating his alleged remarks. The International Tennis Federation, they've suspended him while they conduct that investigation. Now Serena responded and said, it disappoints me to know we live in a society where people like Elayah and Nastase can make such racist comments towards myself, an unborn child, and sexist comments against my peers. I have said it once and I'll say it again. This world has come so far
Starting point is 00:20:18 but yet we have so much further to go. Yes, we have broken down so many barriers. However, there are a plethora more to go. This or anything else will not stop me from pouring love, light, and positivity into everything that I do. I will continue to take a lead and stand up for what's right.
Starting point is 00:20:33 Now, he, in the meantime, is known for just saying bad things, bad behavior. What does he do? He's nicknamed Nasty. No, he's a former champion, tennis champion. What does he do for the tennis organization now? Because he seems too old. It was a press conference. I guess he was discussing tennis.
Starting point is 00:20:48 I do like the fact he said chocolate with milk, though, because usually they put the father's genes first, but he knows that Serena Williams' genes will absolutely dominate that child. All right. And speaking of, let's talk about Jesse Williams. Jesse Williams is getting divorced. We all know him as the star from Grey's Anatomy, of course, as an activist as well.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Well, he has two young children with his wife, and they got married in September 2012. Apparently, they've been separated for a while. They've kept it under wraps, and the split is amicable. So there you have it, all right? They were trying to say young Jesse was out here with a white woman, right? I know that ain't the case. I don't know what's going on yet if it could be
Starting point is 00:21:28 but if it is it is I just saw people saying that on social media yesterday we don't know what's going on I don't know are people so concerned
Starting point is 00:21:34 with white, black, Asian I don't understand don't drop on the clues bombs for Jesse Williams that's the world we live in it's always been that way it makes the world exciting stop it
Starting point is 00:21:40 you love who you love right alright and Mel B she is saying that she wants to keep Stephen Belafonte away from the kids, her estranged husband, because she says that he produces porn. Now, she said there is evidence on multiple computers in the house that indicate that and that he's possibly shooting the porn himself.
Starting point is 00:22:00 They said there's a paper trail on him renting spaces around L.A. to shoot porn. So that's why right now she wants to keep the kids away from him. Is it black people on the point of white people on the point? Does it matter? Both. Well, and here's another twist to the story. According to Mel B's attorneys, she's also saying that Stephen Belafonte had a friend, a rapper, staying with them in the family home, even though he served time for manslaughter. Goodness gracious.
Starting point is 00:22:25 That rapper is True Life. So that's the other issue. She said that Stephen let True Life sleep in Madison's bed. The children weren't home at the time, but she said that's poor decision making. Oh, drop on the clues, Bob, for True Life. I seen True Life last night at the concert. True Life, did you try to smash Mel B? Because I would have.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Come on, guys. If I was still that type of person. Wow. I think that's his friend. Mel B? Because I would have. Come on, guys. If I was still that type of person. Wow. I think that's his friend. Mel B is a beautiful woman. If I'm thinking about, that's the black girl from the Spice Girls, right? Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:51 I had to say black because she's the black girl from the Spice Girls. She's the black girl from the Spice Girls. She's a beautiful woman. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Let's get into front page news. Now, last night, the Raptors beat the Bucs 118-93. Raptors lead 3-2. The Hawks beat the Wizards 111-101. They tied a series 2-2, and the Warriors swept the Trail Blazers 128-103. By the way, Damian Lillard. Your prediction sucked, bro. You said that y'all was going to win, beat the Golden State Warriors in six, and y'all got swept. I'm all about speaking things into
Starting point is 00:23:30 fruition, but you got to go out there and execute. He couldn't do that with them. Clearly, clearly, nobody else on your team was in line with what your prediction was. Not at all. Now let's talk about Obama. Obama is back! Yes, our former president, Barack Obama, was at the University of Chicago. He was moderating a civic engagement panel that featured Chicago area high school and college students and young leaders.
Starting point is 00:23:51 And here's what he had to say. On the back end now of my presidency, now that it's completed, I'm spending a lot of time thinking about what is the most important thing I can do for my next job? What I'm convinced of is that, although there are all kinds of issues that I care about and all kinds of issues that I intend to work on, the single most important thing I can do is to help in any way I can prepare the next generation of leadership to take up the baton
Starting point is 00:24:20 and to take their own crack at changing the world. That's real, man. That's all it's about. If you're not trying to raise the next generation, then what are you doing? Prepare the next generation for greatness. If you've got some experience in the field, share that experience with the next generation. It's your duty. It's your job.
Starting point is 00:24:35 Absolutely. Now, Obama has also written a memoir during this period of time, and he also is encouraging Americans to become more involved in local politics. He said, worry less about what you want to be and worry more about what you want to do. Now, what happened with Shea Moisture? Shea Moisture had to pull an ad. Social media was very upset about this ad. Now, the ad starts off with a black woman.
Starting point is 00:24:54 She's talking about dealing with her hair and how difficult it is dealing with natural hair. And then it transitions to two white women, a blonde woman and a redhead. And here's the ad. People would, like, throw stuff in my hair. And then I'd just be And here's the ad. People would like throw stuff in my hair and then I'd just be walking and there'd be like little paper balls in my hair. I hated it because it's like, oh, I have this and people make fun of me for it.
Starting point is 00:25:14 It was lots of days staring in the mirror like, I don't know what to do with it. I just didn't feel like I was supposed to be a redhead. I dyed my hair blonde for seven years of my life. Platinum blonde. I didn't really embrace my natural hair. All right. So the message was supposed to be break free from hair hate, but loyal consumers found that it was insensitive just putting out this ad that way. And the owner, the founder and CEO, Rich, we know Rich, he actually had to do a post on Facebook. Shane
Starting point is 00:25:41 Worship posted, wow. Okay. So guys, listen, we reallyed this one up. Please know that our attention was not and would never be to disrespect our community. And as such, we are pulling this piece immediately because it does not represent what we intended to communicate. So basically, people want Shea Moisture to be segregated. No. They want it to be for color zone, basically. Now, Rich said our job is to make sure they understand
Starting point is 00:26:00 that we're still here for them. He said black women tend to have the least amount of products in the marketplace for them. Yeah, so they're basically saying, look, we don't have a lot of stuff out there anyway, so at least let us have this. And why are you crossing over? We have to share everything. Yeah, I'm like, okay, I get it.
Starting point is 00:26:16 I get it now. Now I understand. Because Shea Moisture's aim was traditionally to be to address skin and hair care issues that were ignored by mass market companies. So that was the whole point of it. But now you're not, it seems like you're straying away from that.
Starting point is 00:26:28 I get it. Your core marketplace. The people that made you who you are today. Unless, of course, the two so-called white women in the video were transracial. How do we know they weren't
Starting point is 00:26:38 like Rachel Dolezal? Maybe. Dolezal. Whatever her name was. Or she is white. Well, yeah, she doesn't look like she's... Really? That woman is white.
Starting point is 00:26:44 We can take a look. Take a look. Oh, yeah, go ahead is white. Well, yeah, she doesn't look like she's... Really? That woman is white. Take a look. Take a look. Oh, yeah, go ahead, Sean. Oh, yeah, that's definitely a white woman. That looks like they're straight out of White Chicks. That's absolutely a white woman. That's a white woman. Those are definitely white women if I've never seen white women.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Goodness gracious. Those are white women. All right, well, that's front page news. Now, when we come back, Family Hustle. I heard there was a good topic on Family Hustle, T.I. and Tiny, talking about raising kids and staying home, right? Well, yeah, they have little baby, Aris, and the baby's one. Tiny wants to get back to work. And T.I. feels like, well, right now, the most important thing for you to do is to be home and raise this baby, make sure the baby is in a stable environment.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Let's hear the audio. If I'm out working and you out working, who's going to be here with them? I'm going to have, she's going with me. Oh, hell no. That's a definite, baby. Hey, look, man. My child. She cannot be separate from me.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Well, then you need to stay here. That's a sacrifice you make as a parent. No, parents, they travel. What do you think we do? She takes her time. She takes her time with her. She takes her time. No.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Life on the road is no place for no damn baby. It's best for her to be in a stable place where she can wake up at a certain time, eat at a certain time, play at a certain time, go to bed at a certain time. Sometimes you just have to remind your woman that she not Beyonce though. It's okay to say you're not me though. Which might be even more reason that she feels like she needs to work and make money. Should Tiny stay home and raise the kids, or should she pursue her career? Let's shift from race to gender roles.
Starting point is 00:28:13 Gender politics. The Breakfast Club is cooking this morning. 800-585-1051. What do you think? Should Tiny stay home and raise those kids, or should she go on the road? Depend what she's going on the road for. This that French Montana. Turn it up. Ay, ay.
Starting point is 00:28:28 You about to do that hopscotch dance? I'm going to go ahead and go. Oh, God. There you go. There you go. There you go. It's the Breakfast Club. You're a nigga.
Starting point is 00:28:34 You should never do dances. Ever. Together. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we were talking about T.I. and Tiny.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Of course, the Family Hustle comes on every Monday. And during the Family Hustle, they were talking about this. If I'm not working and you're out working, who's going to be here with them? I'm going to have, she's going with me. Oh, hell no. That's indefinite, baby. Hey, look, man. My child. She cannot be separate from me. Well, then you need to stay here. That's a sacrifice you make as a parent.
Starting point is 00:29:04 No, parents, they travel. What do you think me do? She takes her time. She takes her child with her. She takes her time. No. Life on the road is no place for no damn baby. It's best for her to be in a stable place where she can wake up at a certain time, eat
Starting point is 00:29:19 at a certain time, play at a certain time, go to bed at a certain time. So we're asking 805-585-1051, should Tiny stay home and raise the kids? What do you think, E? I think that she should be able to work if she wants to work, and they should figure out a way to make it happen, as many parents do.
Starting point is 00:29:37 She has stayed home and raised a lot of kids already with him and sacrificed her career, and now she wants to go back out there and work. I see Cali with baby Assad all over the place. Yeah, but his wife doesn't work. His fiance doesn't work. Right, but he has the baby on the road with him a lot. And so is she there.
Starting point is 00:29:52 She's there too. But I'm saying, why can't, she's saying that she'll work and she'll bring the baby with her, right? I think that's very difficult. And he doesn't want her to bring the baby with her. That's the whole thing. Especially when you got a baby that's on a schedule, especially a newborn.
Starting point is 00:30:03 I got a newborn at the house right now. She's like 18 months. She was in South Carolina last week, and her sleep pattern is all off right now. Yeah, but like I just said, Cal is bringing the baby, even if his fiance is there too. They're on the road. But his fiance is not working, though. That's the whole thing, even with my wife. Like, if I can afford my wife not to work, I prefer her not to work because I know she's raising the kids.
Starting point is 00:30:21 But if she wants to work, would you tell her she can't? I mean, I can't tell her she can't. I would want her not to because she takes care raising the kids. But if she wants to work, would you tell her she can't? I mean, I can't tell her she can't. I would want her not to because she takes the kids to basketball, to football, to piano, to gymnastics, to swimming. If she's on the road, that means somebody else is raising our child, our
Starting point is 00:30:35 children. So then what if she was like, well, Envy, you know, this is our fifth child. I've raised all the other children, stayed home, haven't worked. I would like to get back to work. Envy, why don't you stay home? If we could afford it, I would like to get back to work. Envy, why don't you? No. How about Envy? Why don't you stay home? If we could afford it, I would stay home.
Starting point is 00:30:48 If she had a good enough job where she was making money and I could stay home, absolutely. Because if somebody has to make it. Envy just hit it on the head and this is how I feel, Tia. I feel because I'm like this
Starting point is 00:30:56 in a lot of ways. If I'm going out here and I'm making a lot of money for the family, I'm doing this to make it easier for us. Absolutely. My job is to protect and provide. I'm doing this so you don't have to go out there and work and you can stay home with the family. I'm doing this to make it easier for us. Absolutely. My job is to protect and provide.
Starting point is 00:31:05 I'm doing this so you don't have to go out there and work and you can stay home with the kids. But if she wants to go out and work because a lot of women
Starting point is 00:31:12 do sacrifice their professional careers and their professional life in a way that men never have to do. Well, guess what? My wife is a personal trainer. Right?
Starting point is 00:31:19 And we do have a nanny but I also want my wife to be at home with the kids so you know what I do, what I'm doing? What? I got to get the studio built in the house. Right. Get a gym built in the house so she can just have her clients come to the crib.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Right. That's it. Now, I don't know what Tanya wants to go out on the road to do, but if she wants to go out on the road to bring this escape reunion back together, I don't have no problem with that. Yeah, I don't know what it is that she's doing, but I do. I have friends. We got too many kids for that.
Starting point is 00:31:45 I do have friends that have sacrificed their careers, and they're like, man, for the past 10 years, I've been home raising the kids. He's been out doing everything that he's got to do, building his career and everything that he's wanted. I haven't been able to follow my passion. See, that's what you have wrong. It's not your career. It's our family. It's not just building my career. Yeah, but let's keep it real.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Women sacrifice a lot more professionally than men do. Yeah, but T.I. is out there busting his ass. T.I. has made it to where she can relax. Absolutely. Now, this is my thing, too, if I'm T.I. All right, you go out on the road. I'm going to stay home. But you got to handle all the bills and everything I'm handling now.
Starting point is 00:32:18 If you can do that, sure, go on the road. Yeah, I'm with you. Because let's keep it real. They're separated now. They're not together. They're getting a divorce. If she feels like maybe she's concerned about money as far as
Starting point is 00:32:27 her being able to make money. Also, because women have to think about that. What if he's not going to have the money and taking care of her the way that he was when they were married? Now she's got to figure out, okay, I got to provide for my family. Maybe, but if they're together in that house and she says she wants to go on the road, you can go on the road all you want if you're
Starting point is 00:32:43 making the money that I'm bringing in and I will sit here and be at home. Absolutely. Hello, who's this? No, this is D from the Great City. Oh my goodness, man. Yeah, I'm back, but I just gotta say, Tiny gotta stay home, man. I didn't even know she had a career. I mean,
Starting point is 00:33:00 T.I. is the money maker. That's why he gonna leave her. Now, stop it. Tiny does have her own businesses and things going on. She's not just sitting at home. Well, T.I. is the moneymaker now, but at one point, she was the moneymaker, but the roles have changed. I would rather my wife being at home with the babies, taking the babies, than a nanny raising my children.
Starting point is 00:33:17 That's how I feel. And I'll stay home if you can make the money that I make. Absolutely. I promise you I will. Hello, who's this? Good morning, Henry. Good morning. Good who's this? Good morning, Henry. Good morning. Good morning, mama.
Starting point is 00:33:30 We're asking, should Tani stay home and raise the kids? I think this is what I'm gonna tell you, Henry. First of all, ain't nobody to be comparing themselves to be. They ain't got her money. Second of all, cause I feel like her son's just going through what they're going through now.
Starting point is 00:33:45 She want to claim she want to go out and work or do what she doing. But girl, bye. Because she knew he was going to say no. But at the end of the day, she needs to just get it together, figure it out, and handle it.
Starting point is 00:33:57 But don't be acting all crazy. She know what it is. All right, so you think she should stay home? I mean, she don't have to stay home because a woman can't work and be a mom. Right. Don't be trying to act all extra with it because she's trying to get Tiff to stay home. Girl, bye.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Well, she never said that he should stay home. She just said she wanted to be able to work and to bring the baby with her. And he said she couldn't bring the baby with her. Now, if she could figure out a way that when I have to travel, I bring somebody with me to make sure the baby stays on schedule, I feel like there has to be some kind of compromise. I think it's impossible for the baby to stay on schedule on the road. I just don't see how that's possible. People do it with babies all the time.
Starting point is 00:34:33 I don't see how that's possible. And they just don't have one baby. They got, what, a five-year-old? But I think he's most concerned about the young. It's all of them. You really want your kids to be raised by the parents and be in a good, settled home, not running around. Like, that tour life and that road life is serious.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Charlamagne knows you've been on the road for the last two weeks. Yes, and I'm going back out on the road. But we don't know what she's doing. We don't know if she's going on tour. I don't know what she has to sometimes travel for. No. And you don't want your child to have a bond with a nanny, a better bond with a nanny than she got with the mom.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Be calling the mom by her first name. But she said she's going to bring the baby with her. She, a better bond with a nanny than she got with the mom. Be calling the mom by her first name. But she said she's going to bring the baby with her. She said the baby will be with me. There's no possible way she could be on tour doing shows late at night,
Starting point is 00:35:10 doing appearances and have that baby comfortable like that. Like you said, you still have to bring the nanny with you because somebody has to watch the baby
Starting point is 00:35:16 while you're running around. You know how tiring it is on the road? You off and on planes and all kinds of stuff. You don't want a baby to go through all that, man. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:35:23 800-585-1051. T.I. and Tiny got into a little argument and he said Tiny should stay home and raise the kids. What do you think? Call us now.
Starting point is 00:35:30 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Goosebumps, Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar. I'm so happy that they finally added some new music in the morning.
Starting point is 00:35:38 We just heard French Montana, now Travis Scott. It sounds good to hear some new music. By the way, New Yorkers, New York rappers, please stop trying to make dances.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Leave that to the brothers in the South because that little unforgettable hopscotch dance, ain't no more hopscotch. You tried it. No, I didn't. You tried it. Jump around? Okay, I can jump around.
Starting point is 00:35:54 There you go. Now we're talking T.I. and Tiny now. T.I. wants Tiny to stay home and raise the kids. Here's audio of last night. If I'm out working and you out working, who's going to be here with them? I'm going to have, she's going with me. Oh, hell no. of last night. She takes her child with her. No. Life on the road is no place for no damn baby. It's best for her to be in a stable place where she can wake up at a certain time, eat at a certain time, play at a certain time, go to bed at a certain time.
Starting point is 00:36:34 So we're asking 800-585-1051, should Tiny stay home and raise the kids? Now, the reason I, you know, in my situation with my wife, my wife stays home and raises the kids. Why? Because I can afford it. I can make sure that the house is good, our future is good, and she makes sure those kids are good. Perfect example. A couple of weeks ago, my daughter had a staph infection and she had strep rash. If my wife wasn't there to know what's going on with my daughter to see, well, this doesn't seem right. She wakes up like this.
Starting point is 00:37:00 Who knows? My daughter might not be here right now, but my wife was able to take and make sure she was there. But if Gia said, Envy, I really want to start this business. I've always wanted to do it. You can start a business. And I want to, sometimes I'm going to have to be away. You can't tell her, no, I don't want you to do it because you need to be home all the time. It's a big difference
Starting point is 00:37:15 between sometimes I may be away and I'm going on the road for a while. That's a big difference. But she says she's going to bring the baby with her. And let's keep it real. You guys are together. They're not together anymore. They have separate homes. So why are they even having the conversation?
Starting point is 00:37:29 But even if we weren't together, those are still my kids. Those are still my children. I wouldn't want to do anything. Right, but I'm just saying your situation is a little different. They don't even live together. And by the way, I've been a stay-at-home dad before when I got fired from the Wendy Williams show. I saw that in your book. In 2008. I talk about it in my book. I was a stay-at- show. I said that in your book. In 2008.
Starting point is 00:37:45 I talk about it in my book. I was a stay-at-home dad for like eight, nine months. My daughter had just been born in June, and I was too proud to go collecting my unemployment checks, and my wife went to work every day. So I was a stay-at-home dad. So I have no problem staying at home. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:57 If you are making enough money to provide for the household and take care of the bills and all that good stuff. Hello, who's this? Hey, this is Marco from Baltimore. Hey, Marco, you think Tanya should stay home and raise the kids? Yeah, I think she should stay home. If the man is making enough to provide for you and the family, I think you should stay home until the baby's old enough to talk
Starting point is 00:38:18 and let you know if the babysitter's cheating on her. Yeah, I agree with you, bro. But I don't think it's a matter of finances. I think it's more of a matter of her passion for what she wants to do. Hello, who's this? This is Tasha. Hey, Tasha, you think Tiny should stay home and raise the kids? I think, yeah, if you can, if you can afford it, definitely.
Starting point is 00:38:34 It's a blessing to the child. But I kind of question his ulterior motive with what they're going through right now. Like, what's the realism? Why he really want her to stay home? Is it just only the kids or he don't want her to be exposed to Tiny to be out? Well, T.I. has been saying this for a long time. This ain't the first time he said that he wanted her to stay home.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Yeah, if they can afford it, stay home. I'm with you, Mama. Alright, thank you, Mama. Hello, who's this? This is J.C. from Ohio. J.C., you think Tiny should stay home and raise the kids? I don't think she should stay home. I think she should let T.I. take the baby. Taking the kid to work is an option. Okay. Yeah, the only? I don't think she should stay home. I think she should let TI take the baby. Taking the kid to work is an option. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:08 Yeah, the only thing with that is if she has to be able to afford that household, if she could pay all the bills and make sure the family's covered, I mean, I have no problem with that either. I don't think it's a financial thing for her. I think it's her wanting to get back to what she loves to do. Listen, I'm not letting you. Listen, you are not leaving the house to go do no escape reunion. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:39:23 It's got to be something. Leave her alone, man. No, no, no. You ain't going out there to say. Let her follow her passion. You're my little secret. And just kicking it, you're going to just kick it at the crib with these kids. All right? Now, you got to come up.
Starting point is 00:39:32 You need a better plan than that now. That ain't the plan. Now, what's the moral of the story? I think the moral of the story is just you have to compromise. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's just what it is. When you're in a relationship or a marriage, or even when you're not in a marriage, but y'all have kids, if y'all separating got kids,
Starting point is 00:39:46 it's got to be a compromise. Well, maybe that compromise is when she's on the road, he has the baby, and then when she comes back, they got to figure out time. That works. That's fine. That's a compromise. But maybe T.I. can't slow down.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Maybe he has to be on the road. I mean, I don't know. We're making it seem like T.I. can just stop what he's doing. He can't. You know what I'm saying? But he just said, as a parent, you have to sacrifice. Right, but he has to sacrifice if she can make sure she can handle it. Right, if she's going and making money.
Starting point is 00:40:10 I'm talking about when you say sacrifice, sacrifice works both ways. Tiny's sacrificing by being at home with the kids, and T.I.'s sacrificing by being on the road making money because he's not with his family. But why can't they take turns with that? They can if the bills can still get paid and everything. Right. We can, as long as you're not going to the House of Blues to sing Yo, My Little Secret with the rest of them escape girls, okay?
Starting point is 00:40:31 My goodness. Sit down. My goodness. Eve, we got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about Lil Wayne. He was really upset while he was performing and even stopped the concert. We'll tell you why. Also, Bill O'Reilly speaks out after getting let go from Fox News.
Starting point is 00:40:44 Okay, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Lil Wayne wasn't too happy while he was performing.
Starting point is 00:41:06 He was in the middle of performing a milli, and he had to call his goon squad for backup. I guess somebody threw a drink on stage. Here's what happened. I don't know if you thought I was a buster, but I'm rich, so I can't throw nothing back. But watch this. Goon squad, come here.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Throw that back at him. Throw that back at him. Throw all that back at him. Throw it back at him. Throw all the s*** back at the s***. Show over, man. Whoever the s*** is in the middle, he just runs out of time. Show over. The funniest thing about that video was the Goon Squad had no idea they were the Goon Squad. They was like, who is he talking about?
Starting point is 00:41:37 Who is the Goon Squad? So then he had to reiterate and put a little more nuance with it. And he said, all the goons I got with me, the people that's with me, come on down to the stage. But the problem with that is even if they do something to him, you're still going to get sued. So what's the difference? He said throw it back, I guess, though, to drink. I don't know. The problem with that is Lil Wayne ain't got
Starting point is 00:41:54 no new music to perform because Birdman won't let him release music and people are tired of Hannah Millie. So the guy do a drink. He's fed up. You can't really be mad at the guy for being fed up. He's tired of Hannah Millie. Well, let's be real, though. Lil Wayne has plenty of hits. Remember we saw Lil Wayne perform in Detroit? Yes.
Starting point is 00:42:07 And he was popping. Lil Wayne could perform in his catalog. The man got an amazing catalog. But if you've seen Lil Wayne perform more than three times, you know what it is already. All right, well, that's just what happened in Garden City, Idaho. Now, Bill O'Reilly, this is the first comment that he's made since he got kicked out of Fox News, even though he was the main person on that network that everybody watching.
Starting point is 00:42:29 He's gone, which just goes to show you, you never know what can happen. And that is because of these sexual harassment accusations. Now he has his own podcast. And here's what he had to say about everything. I am sad that I'm not on television anymore. I was very surprised how it all turned out. I can't say a lot because there's much stuff going on right now. But I can tell you that I'm very confident that truth will come out. And when it does, I don't know if you're going to be
Starting point is 00:42:58 surprised, but I think you're going to be shaken as I am. There's a lot of stuff involved here. All right. Now, he said his podcast is going to be free until Sunday. And after that, it's only available for premium members who pay $50 a year. You're going to make a lot of money off that podcast. Jesus Christ. And your podcast should be free because you're about to get $25 million from Dan Fox News. Okay?
Starting point is 00:43:21 So that's the least you can do is give people a free podcast. That is gracious. Yeah. All right. And Beyonce and Jay-Z, they have put in a bid for a $120 million mansion in L.A. You know, Beyonce's about to have those twins, and they actually want to move there to have more privacy. If you have Revolt TV, you can see what that mansion is. He outbid me for that crib.
Starting point is 00:43:40 I tried to get that. What did you bid, a million? Yep. That's exactly why you can't be in arguments with your man talking about what B do. You write that really high. Tiny, do you hear me? You can't be in arguments with your man talking about what B do. Can I see that crib again, Revolt?
Starting point is 00:43:57 Show that crib again, B. B do that too, but can you do this? Goodness gracious. Now, that mansion, by the way, has four pools, eight bedrooms. That's a high school. And it has bulletproof windows. Goodness gracious. So everything has just been completely remodeled from the ground up. You think Jay invited us over one time?
Starting point is 00:44:15 Hmm? Why does Jay need bulletproof windows? It just comes with it. They probably built it. It's already there, you know? The garage can fit 15 cars. It has separate staff quarters. It has a spa with a hot tub, a sauna, and a steam room.
Starting point is 00:44:27 It has a recording studio. Okay. So in case anybody's looking, you know, that house is probably, they'll win that bid, I'm sure. I got to work a little harder. Drop one of Clues, Mom, for Jay-Z and Beyonce. Absolutely. Good for them, man. You know my last name is Pinkett Smith Winfrey Knowles Carter.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Okay. With those twins, no one's going to care about you anymore, man. Amen. You're getting kicked out of the family. Get out of here. All right. I know who I am. That's all that matters.
Starting point is 00:44:52 This would be awesome if a movie could actually happen that the idea got started with a Twitter joke. I don't know if you guys saw this yesterday, but Lupita and Rihanna. All right. So somebody made up a whole false movie plot. There was a picture of Rihanna, a picture of Lupita, and it says fictional, it says Rihanna looks like she scams rich white men, and Lupita is the computer smart best friend that helps
Starting point is 00:45:13 plan the scams. Now, that was the picture that you just saw on Revolt TV. So, Lupita and Rihanna even made some jokes about it. They said they would be down to do it. And apparently, Issa Rae then said she's on board to write the movie and then Ava DuVernay, who's the Oscar winning director, said that she would actually direct it.
Starting point is 00:45:30 Oh, there you go. Link up. All off of a Twitter joke. Link up. That would be dope. Imagine if this could really happen. That's not a bad plot. I'm there for all the players in that game. Okay? Rihanna and Lupita are the stars. Issa's the writer. Ava's the producer, director. That would be dope. I'm with all of that.
Starting point is 00:45:45 All right. Well, I'm in. I'm there for that. I'm sold. I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Reports. All right. Thank you, Ms. Yee. Shut up, man. Yes.
Starting point is 00:45:51 We giving that down for two. Now, I hate to generalize. This is definitely white people news. Four after the hour. Okay. What? All right. It involves turkeys.
Starting point is 00:46:01 Turkeys. And guns. And guns. Yes. In Kansas City. All right. All right. We'll talk about it four after the? In Kansas City. All right. We'll talk about it before after the hour, damn it.
Starting point is 00:46:07 All right, we'll get to it when we come back. Keep it locked. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed place.
Starting point is 00:46:20 So like a donkey. Keyhawk. Donkey of the Day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but donkey of the day is a new one. Donkey of the day for Tuesday, April 25th is going out to
Starting point is 00:46:35 a Kansas City man named Kenneth Dietz. I think his last name is D-I-E-N-S-T. How do you pronounce that? Sounds right. D-I-E-N-S-T. Dietz. Kenneth Dietz. Let'sN-S-T. Deenst. Kenneth Deenst. Let's just call him Kenneth D. Okay.
Starting point is 00:46:48 Now, this is absolutely positively the stupidest thing I've heard in a couple of weeks. And the Donkey of the Day segment is all about giving people the credit they deserve for being stupid. And this is beyond stupid. Now, Kenneth and his friends were out hunting wild turkey because April 12th was opening day of the Kansas spring turkey season. Now I heard this is an exciting time in Kansas City when hunters usually replicate the sounds of turkeys and go out there
Starting point is 00:47:14 and try to attack turkeys. I said attack, but attract. To attack. To attack. Which is hunting, whatever. April 12th was opening day of the Kansas spring turkey season. It's an exciting time. April 12th was opening day of the Kansas spring turkey season. It's an exciting time. Hunters go out there, replicate the sounds of the turkeys. They try to bring the
Starting point is 00:47:29 gobblers into shotgun range. Basically, it's like Coachella for turkey hunters in Kansas City. Now, Kenneth was out hunting with his brother Gary and his friend Justin. They were hunting and using a technique called fanning. Now, fanning is when hunters use a preserved tail fan of a wild turkey
Starting point is 00:47:46 to attract or sneak up on a wild gobbler. Basically, a preserved turkey tail is like a weave, okay? It's a wig. It's like a ponytail extension. It's the blackout men be using to make it seem like they have a healthy hairline. It's basically just a decoy, and sometimes they plant this decoy in the ground to hide behind it. Or they put it on their gun and lay on the ground behind it
Starting point is 00:48:07 and then they make turkey calls, hoping that they can attract turkeys towards them so they can shoot them. Oh, it's up on Revolt right now. There you go. Now, one of my favorite TV shows is Finding Bigfoot. I love it. But I always say they will never find Bigfoot because they go in the woods with a full camera crew making
Starting point is 00:48:23 all this noise. Don't you think Bigfoot's no better? This fanning thing is reminding me of that. Y'all not fooling real turkeys with this BS. If wild turkeys were so dumb, you wouldn't have to hunt them. They would walk right up to you and leave with you. But back to the donkey of the day. Now, Gary and Justin went to one property to hunt. Kenneth D went to another. The problems began when Gary and Justin returned to the property where Kenneth was hunting without telling Kenneth they were there. Now, in the hunting world, changing locations without alerting others is one of the cardinal sins they teach against, okay?
Starting point is 00:48:54 Now, being that they didn't know they were on the same property, they were calling to each other and sneaking up on each other, like two turkeys coming at each other, okay? And they both thought they were sneaking up on real wild turkeys. Well, Kenneth sprinted toward the wild turkey gobbler he'd been calling to and watching. And when he got close enough, he started blasting. And right after he shot, he thought he saw a big-ass turkey flopping on the ground. And when he got there, he saw two guys rolling on the ground
Starting point is 00:49:23 because old Kenneth shot his brother and friend in the face. Both of them? Yes, he did. Alright. Oh, man. I'm going to be honest with you. Nothing else to tell you about this story, folks. Okay, you and your friends out hunting, pretending to be turkeys to catch a turkey, and you both end up fooling yourselves, and the only person that ends up
Starting point is 00:49:39 getting shot is the hunters? Y'all know what that was? Say, play that again. You know what that sound is? That's the sound of wild turkeys in the woods laughing their ass off, okay? Those turkeys was watching from the woods, watching those hunters trick each other like it was an episode of Catfish.
Starting point is 00:49:58 I don't know about y'all, but I'm satisfied with the level of stupidity in today's Donkey of the Day. So please give Kenneth Deetz the smooth sounds of the Hamilton's, please. You are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Hee-haw. Hee-haw. They're okay, right? Did they die? the day. Hee haw. Hee haw.
Starting point is 00:50:26 They're okay, right? Did they die? Oh, I forgot to tell you. No, they didn't die. Yeah, look how we know. All right, thank God. They didn't die. That's a little concerned.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Yeah, I thought so too. I mean, they still got shot in the face, though. It's going to be kind of awkward at Thanksgiving. Yeah. It's going to be kind of hard to eat a turkey this year, knowing that you just got shot in the face because you were pretending to be a turkey. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:43 But you turned out to be what you pretend to be, right? Mm-mm. Let's be clear. You turned out to be what you pretend to be. face because you were pretending to be a turkey. Yeah. But you turned out to be what you pretend to be, right? Let's be clear. You turned out to be what you pretend to be. So if you're pretending to be a wild turkey that wants to get shot, hey. Hey. My goodness. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today.
Starting point is 00:50:54 When we come back, let's talk about this tweet that Rihanna put out. Or this Instagram post, I should say. She said, if we together and your ex die and you cry, you single. People were upset about this. I missed this. What did you just say? I said... That thing went over my head.
Starting point is 00:51:16 Oh, sorry. Is that my... Sorry, that might be my computer. That's definitely real hip-hop over there. Sorry, my volume's up. It won't go down. Turn it down. Can you just mute it?
Starting point is 00:51:29 My computer is frozen. It's frozen. I can't do anything. It's frozen. Oh, that mercy. There you go. 800-585-1051. It's still playing.
Starting point is 00:51:38 All right, unplug it. If they start cursing, we're going to get in trouble. It's frozen. I can't do anything. This is why we need new laptops. This is real hip hop. Let's come back.
Starting point is 00:51:46 If we together and your ex die and you cry, you single. If we together and your ex die. So if we're dating, right, and your ex dies and you start crying, then we're not dating anymore. In other words, how dare you have any feelings for your ex. That's how I can explain it better to you. This is stupid. Where did y'all get this from?
Starting point is 00:52:07 Rihanna put it up on Instagram. Is it? Rihanna posted that? Yes. Are you listening? No. No, he's not listening. Clearly I'm not.
Starting point is 00:52:13 Oh my goodness. Put this turkey thing on. 805-851-051. Do you agree? If we together and your ex die and you cry, you single,
Starting point is 00:52:24 call us up right now. 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. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Rihanna's Instagram post,
Starting point is 00:52:38 where she said, if we together and your ex die and you cry, you single. So we're asking, 800-585-1051, if you have feelings and your ex die and you cry, you single. So we're asking 800-585-1051 if you have feelings towards your ex. If they die and you cry, is it a wrap? Is it over? Oh, my gosh. Death? I mean, I would expect you to cry if your ex dies. I'm going to tell you this.
Starting point is 00:52:57 I don't mind dating somebody who doesn't have a bad relationship with their ex. Okay? Because I actually prefer that you have respect for somebody that you dated. Clearly, that was a choice that you made to be with somebody for whatever period of time. And then if you bash them and badmouth them, I feel like, well, what kind of terrible decisions were you making? So I don't mind that. I think you should still, even if you're not cool with them, you shouldn't hate your ex. You know, it should never be a situation like that.
Starting point is 00:53:23 So I think you should cry if your ex dies. So, of course, I wouldn't break up with somebody for that reason. Charlamagne? I had to think about this one because I didn't understand it at first. But upon further review, I kind of agree with Rihanna. You know what I'm saying? I don't know if I would go so far as to say you're single. But I'm thinking about it now.
Starting point is 00:53:40 I mean, even though I've been with my woman for, what, 18, 19 years now, I got a couple exes. If they were to die, I wouldn, even though I've been with my woman for, what, 18, 19 years now? I got a couple exes. If they were to die, I wouldn't care. I wouldn't cry. I would be upset if... I'm not going to say I wouldn't care because I always care about when somebody dies, but I wouldn't cry. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, see, I wouldn't cry either, but, I mean...
Starting point is 00:53:58 I probably would. Let's say your wife was with somebody maybe five years before you. They were together for five, six, seven years. You know what I mean? So she had feelings towards him. I'm glad competition's gone. I can never know. Now I don't ever have
Starting point is 00:54:09 to worry about you ever again. I probably would cry if my ex died because I also know their parents, you know their family members, you feel sorry,
Starting point is 00:54:17 you know somebody personally. I'm an emotional person though. I'm going to be honest with you. I'm feeling like maybe a little bit. I'm through. But if you with a person and you still worried about their ex in any way, shape, or form, maybe you don't got your baby on lock like you think you do. We're talking about death here, though.
Starting point is 00:54:32 Still. Even if they found out. If they died? You got to be like, word. All right. Well, anyway, where are we going to lunch? And you got to be very, very petty to be upset because she cried over her ex. He's dead.
Starting point is 00:54:44 Like, it's not going to happen. Like, it's good that. He's dead. Like, it's not going... Like, it's good that she's a wrap. Like, she's not coming back. He's not going to be able to get with him. Whatever feelings she had are going six feet under. Like, it's done. And I cry when people die in movies.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Okay, Envy, you cried during Creed. I did. It's not even real. Why do you keep telling people that? You did. I seen it. All right, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:55:04 Hi, this is Fernando from Detroit. Now, Fernando, if you together, if you with your girl, and she cries over her ex, are y'all single? I mean, I think it depends on how they were before they were together. Were they in love? Were they just dating for a few months?
Starting point is 00:55:20 Does it matter? Yeah, if they was in love, then of course. I mean, no, we're not single We're okay, you're good You love that person And they died So you gotta be able to understand But if you
Starting point is 00:55:33 I mean, if they was just dating For a few months or something Nah, you're single You're gone, girl Okay, thank you, man Wow Hello, who's this? You guys are harsh
Starting point is 00:55:42 Hello Good morning Hey, good morning What's your name, mama? This is Sunny from Nueva Hey, Sunny Wow. Hello, who's this? You guys are harsh. Hello. Good morning. Hey, good morning. What's your name, mama? This is Sunny from New Haven. Hey, Sunny. Now, if your ex cries over his ex, how do you take that?
Starting point is 00:55:56 Well, first of all, Rihanna's a savage for saying that. She put that. She put savage. That was her. She does have a song. That's what she wrote, Savage. Savage, by the way. Now, if my man cried over his ex ex passing, listen, that's his ex. There's nothing you can do about it.
Starting point is 00:56:11 The feeling, obviously, there was something there for her in the beginning because they were together. You can't condemn somebody for still feeling some type of way. Right. Whether they love him or they hate him, even if you hate them, you still got love for them in some way for them to matter. But you know what, though? Maybe she don't.
Starting point is 00:56:27 I mean, anybody that you've ever come across, if you've had some type of relationship with, whether it was friends or y'all was close in some way, when they die, you're going to feel it.
Starting point is 00:56:35 You're going to still feel some type of way. Yeah, you're going to feel something. Like my ex passed away two years ago. Okay. My ex-fiance. We parted on,
Starting point is 00:56:42 it wasn't great terms, but we slowly got over that and became friends again later on down the line. The person that I'm actually still with, when he passed, he actually encouraged me to go to the funeral because he made that closure. Right. All I know is if you cry. He's not going to get mad. I called him crying, telling him what happened. And he was like, you need to go see your mom, see your kids or whatever.
Starting point is 00:57:04 Go and get to make that peace. See the mom, see the kids. That he was like, you need to go see your mom, see your kids or whatever. Go and get to make that peace. See the mom, see the kids. Because that person was significant to you. You can't get mad at them. Now, I'm with you. I don't think I would go so far as to break up
Starting point is 00:57:13 with my significant other, but I would clap in her face and say, I see you crying over your little dead ex. So when I die, you better have that same energy when I pass, okay?
Starting point is 00:57:24 You stupid. I think part of the problem is I don't have an ex or anybody that I care for that much. And I don't think my wife does as well. We've been together so long, so I can't. I don't know those feelings. Yeah, but death is such a final thing. It's something that none of us want to experience for a very, very, very long time. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:42 So anytime you hear about somebody dying, you're going to feel a way. I cry during the news sometimes. People I don't even know die. That's what I'm saying. I do too. I don't like a lot, very, very long time. Right. So anytime you hear about somebody dying, you're going to feel a way. I cry during the news sometimes. People I don't even know die. That's what I'm saying. I do too. I do. Sometimes the news be so sad, I start crying.
Starting point is 00:57:52 You just light skin? I'm just light skin. You're just a waffle-colored Negro? I watch a sad story. You're just a khaki-colored kid? Or you're just a beige bitch? What'd you say? Hey!
Starting point is 00:57:59 Watch your mouth. He's in touch with his feelings. What'd you say, Snowflake? 805- Snowflake, that's a new one. 805-85-1051. If we together, with his feelings. What did you say, snowflake? 800-585-1051. If we're together and your ex dies and you cry, you're single, what do you feel about that? Call us now.
Starting point is 00:58:11 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we were talking about T.I. and Tiny. T.I. wants Tiny to stay home and raise the kids. Here's audio of last night.
Starting point is 00:58:24 If I'm out working and you're out working, who's going to be here and raise the kids. Here takes her time with her. She takes her time. No. Life on the road is no place for no damn baby. It's best for her to be in a stable place where she can wake up at a certain time, eat at a certain time, play at a certain time, go to bed at a certain time. So we're asking 800-585-1051, should Tiny stay home and raise the kids? Now, the reason I, you know, in my situation with my wife, my wife stays home and raises the kids. Why? Because I can afford it.
Starting point is 00:59:08 I can make sure that the house is good, our future is good, and she makes sure those kids are good. Perfect example. A couple of weeks ago, my daughter had a staph infection and she had strep rash. If my wife wasn't there to know what's going on with my daughter to see, well, this doesn't seem right. She wakes up like this. Who knows? My daughter might not be here right now because my wife was able to take
Starting point is 00:59:27 and make sure she was there. But if Gia said, Envy, I really want to start this business. I've always wanted to do it. You can start a business. Can you? And I want to, sometimes I'm going to have to be away.
Starting point is 00:59:35 You can't tell her, no, I don't want you to do it because you need to be home all the time. It's a big difference between sometimes I may be away and I'm going on the road for a while. That's a big difference. But she said she's going gonna bring the baby with her.
Starting point is 00:59:45 And let's keep it real. You guys are together. They're not together anymore. They have separate homes. So why are they even having the conversation? But even if we weren't together, even if we weren't together,
Starting point is 00:59:55 those are still my kids. Those are still my children. I wouldn't want to do anything Right, but I'm just saying your situation is a little different. They don't even live together. And by the way, I've been a stay-at-home dad before
Starting point is 01:00:03 when I got fired from the Wendy Williams show. I saw that in your book. In 2008. I talk about it in my book. I was a stay-at-home dad for like eight, nine months. My daughter had just been born in June
Starting point is 01:00:13 and I was too proud to go collecting my unemployment checks and my wife went to work every day. So I was a stay-at-home dad. So I have no problem staying at home if you are making enough money to provide for the household and take care of the bills and all that good stuff.
Starting point is 01:00:28 Hello, who's this? Hey, this is DeMarco from Baltimore. Hey, DeMarco, you think Tanya should stay home and raise the kids? Yeah, I think she should stay home if the man is making enough to provide for you and the family. I think she should stay home until the baby's old enough to talk and let you know if the babysitter's cheating on her.
Starting point is 01:00:43 Yeah, I agree with you, bro. But I don't think it's a matter of finances. I think it's more of a matter of her passion for what she wants to do. Hello, who's this? This is Tasha. Hey, Tasha, you think Tiny should stay home and raise the kids?
Starting point is 01:00:55 I think, yeah, if you can. If you can afford it, definitely. It's a blessing to the child. But I kind of question his ulterior motive with what they're going through right now. Like, what's the realism? Why he really want her to stay home? Is it just only the kids, or he don't want her to be exposed to Tiny to be out?
Starting point is 01:01:11 Well, T.I. has been saying this for a long time. This ain't the first time he said that, that he wanted her to stay home. Yeah, if they can afford it, stay home. I'm with you, Mama. All right, thank you, Mama. Hello, who's this? This is JC from Ohio. JC, you think Tiny should stay home and raise the kids?
Starting point is 01:01:24 I don't think she should stay home. I think she should let TI take the baby. Taking the kid to work is an option. Okay. Yeah, the only thing with that is if she has to be able to afford that household, if she could pay all the bills and make sure the family's covered, I mean, I have no problem with that either. I don't think it's a financial thing for her.
Starting point is 01:01:39 I think it's her wanting to get back to what she loves to do. Listen, you are not leaving the house to go do no escape reunion. I'm sorry. There's got to be something. Let her follow her passion. You're my little secret. You can just kick it at the crib with these kids. You need a better plan than that.
Starting point is 01:01:57 That ain't the plan. What's the moral of the story? I think the moral of the story is just you have to compromise. That's just what it is. When you're in a relationship or a marriage or even when you're not in a marriage but y'all have kids, if y'all separating got kids, it's gotta be a compromise. Well, maybe that compromise is when she's on the road, he has the baby
Starting point is 01:02:14 and then when she comes back, they gotta figure out time. That's a compromise. But maybe T.I. can't slow down. Maybe he has to be on the road. I mean, I don't know. We're making it seem like T.I. can just stop what he's doing. He can't. But he just said, as a parent, you have to sacrifice. Right, but
Starting point is 01:02:29 he has to sacrifice if she can make sure she can handle those bills. If she's going and making money. When you say sacrifice, sacrifice works both ways. Tiny's sacrificing by being at home with the kids, and T.I.'s sacrificing by being on the road making money because he's not with his family. Absolutely. But why can't they take turns with that?
Starting point is 01:02:45 They can if the bills can still get paid and everything. Right. We can, as long as you're not going to the House of Blues to sing Yo, My Little Secret with the rest of them escape girls, okay? Sit down. My goodness. Steve, we got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk about Lil Wayne.
Starting point is 01:02:59 He was really upset while he was performing and even stopped the concert. We'll tell you why. Also, Bill O'Reilly speaks out after getting let go from Fox News. Okay, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Starting point is 01:03:15 Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. All right, let's talk about Kendrick Lamar's album, Damn, and what it has just done. Now, that album had 14 positions in the Billboard Hot 100, the songs off of Damn. So that's all 14 songs charting. Now, there's only been five artists ever to land that many songs
Starting point is 01:03:38 on the chart at the same time, 14 songs at the same time. Who do you think they are? Besides Kendrick. All the new people, Drake, I'm sure. Drake is one of them. I want to say for some reason, I want to say Meek had a bunch of records up there at one time, too.
Starting point is 01:03:52 No, not 14 at once. The Beatles. The Beatles? Yes, the Beatles did. Then you have to say Michael Jackson. No, it wasn't Michael Jackson. Not Michael Jackson? Nope. The Weeknd. Beyonce? Nope. The Weeknd and Justin Bieber. So Justin Bieber had 14 at the same time also. The Weeknd had 18.
Starting point is 01:04:08 Drake had 24. Wow. How did Beatles sneak their old ass in there? I thought that was a new thing. You don't know about Beatlemania? No, I don't. I know about WrestleMania. Oh.
Starting point is 01:04:17 Okay. It's not the same. Only Beatles I acknowledge is the one that was on Mario Brothers. I'm not a Beatles type of guy. Okay. All right. Now, what do you think was the most streamed song the first week? Humble.
Starting point is 01:04:27 It actually was Loyalty. Well, you know what? It was Humble first and then Loyalty was the one with no official music video. So yes, Humble was definitely the most streamed one out of all of those. So congratulations to Kendrick, Breaking Records. Congrats to them. As always. Now, on the It's The Real
Starting point is 01:04:43 podcast, A Waste of Time, those are our friends, Jeff and Eric Rosenthal. They had David Cho, on the It's The Real podcast, a waste of time. Those are our friends, Jeff and Eric Rosenthal. They had David Cho on. What were you going to say, Sean? No, salute to Jeff and Eric and salute to Jeff and Eric's mom. Why? Wow, that sounds like you smashed their mom. What?
Starting point is 01:04:55 Wow. Jeff and Eric's going to shout out their mom? No, no, no, no, no. That's a little disrespectful. Jeff and Eric's mom saw me somewhere. I think it was The View or something, and she had some nice things to say. So salute to Jeff and Eric's mom. All right. I think it was The View or something, and she had some nice things to say. So let's look at Jeff and Eric's mom.
Starting point is 01:05:07 All right. Well, they had David Cho on there. He's the former publisher of Grantland, and he sat down with them, and he talked about Kanye's Watch the Throne project with Jay-Z and what Kanye wanted to do with that album with every single song. Here's what he said. I would tell the one story about N-Words in Paris where Jay wanted to call it ball so hard and uh and kind of like no we're gonna put the n word in every single title
Starting point is 01:05:31 this album so everyone has to say it and they have to confront it so it'd be like oh this would be called like you know wow whatever and so like like that was the statement and kanye and i think the compromise i don't i mean i'm assuming the compromise ended up being all right we'll put in the title this one song that's arguably the best song on the album. It's kind of a silly statement, though, because he's assuming that everybody isn't already saying it. Right. So I don't understand.
Starting point is 01:05:51 I'm not going to lie. I did go to that concert, and you look around to see who's going to say the actual words. They say it. Everybody say it. Yeah, everybody. Everybody say it. All right, now let's discuss Beyonce.
Starting point is 01:06:00 She has announced the Formation Scholars Scholarship Program. To add to the celebration of the one-year anniversary of Lemonade, Beyonce announced the establishment of Formation Scholars Awards for the 2017-2018 academic year to encourage and support young women who are unafraid to think outside the box, who are bold, creative, conscious, and confident there's going to be four scholarships awarded, and that's one per college, to female incoming current or graduate students pursuing studies in creative arts, music, literature, or African-American studies. The schools that they chose to participate for these scholarships, Berkeley College of Music, Howard University, Parsons School of Design, and Spelman College. They didn't say Hampton?
Starting point is 01:06:40 No. Those are the ones that they chose for this particular scholarship. So four women. I'm dropping the clues bombs for Beyonce, damn it. Formation. There you go. That must feel good to go to school on a Beyonce formation scholarship. Oh, you can't tell you nothing.
Starting point is 01:06:55 You can't say nothing. Oh, my God. All right. Now there's going to be a biopic, and this is going to be based on Madonna. It's going to be set in the early and this is going to be based on Madonna. It's going to be set in the early 80s in New York City as Madonna works on her first album, struggling in a business that treats women badly while also dealing with her love life and the first hints of fame.
Starting point is 01:07:15 So she moved to New York from Michigan back in 1978. She moved to pursue dance, but then she started singing and writing songs. So that's going to be a huge deal. The Universal Studios has picked up Blonde Ambition. I feel like Madonna's biopic should be a porn. Just based off her image over all of these years. Especially in the early 80s, early 90s. Well, she's successful.
Starting point is 01:07:35 No, no, no. When she first came out, she was doing songs like Borderline. I don't know what that is. I don't remember Madonna. She did Like a Virgin. She did Material Girls, Lucky Star. It was nothing pornographic at all. I just always remember Madonna. She did Like a Virgin. She did Material Girls, Lucky Star. It was nothing pornographic at all. I just always remember Madonna being a loosey-goosey out here, you know.
Starting point is 01:07:50 You're thinking about the Justify My Love Madonna when she did the sex book, but that was later on. I'm thinking of her smashing Big Daddy Kane. That's what I'm thinking. Her first album. I'm thinking Big Daddy Kane, Devontae. But that's not porn. That's just who she was dating And having sex with It just seemed like
Starting point is 01:08:05 She'd always been Very sexually free So I would think That her biopic Would be like Very sexually driven I feel like when Madonna first came out
Starting point is 01:08:12 She was very child friendly Cause I remember I didn't know What a virgin was And I was like What's a virgin? Well that doesn't make It child friendly
Starting point is 01:08:18 You're not supposed to know What a virgin is Like a virgin But I'm just saying The songs before that That she did She did some really nice songs that were kid-friendly
Starting point is 01:08:27 and then she got a little more risque after that. Well, I'm going to take your word for it because I've never heard somebody use Madonna and kid-friendly in the same. Her first songs were
Starting point is 01:08:35 Material Girl was a cute song. Borderline. How's Material go? Lucky Star. Holiday. Celebrate. And we took the holiday. Listen, I love Madonna.
Starting point is 01:08:47 And Nile Rodgers, by the way, produced for Madonna when she first came out. They actually didn't know what they were going to do with her at the label. And they tapped Nile Rodgers and he ended up producing her album. Shout out to Nile Rodgers. Nile Rodgers is, by the way, having his We Are Family Foundation benefit. It's going to be on Friday night in New York City. So I'm going to be there. Did he write the song We Are Family too? Probably, right going to be on Friday night in New York City. So I'm going to be there. Did he write the song We Are Family too?
Starting point is 01:09:07 Probably, right? Yes, he did. See? Go ahead now, Roger. He did We Are Family. He did a lot of it. He did Diana Ross. He did Upside Down, I'm Coming Out.
Starting point is 01:09:16 I know that one now. Okay. He did all the music for Coming Out. Upside down, you're turning me. Oh, I thought you were going to say I'm coming out. I know that one too. And he did the music for Coming to America. That's dope. He did a lot of things. But anyway, I'm Angela Yee to say, I'm coming out. I know that one too. And he did the music for Coming to America. That's dope.
Starting point is 01:09:26 He did a lot of things. But anyway, I'm Angela Yee. That's your Rumor Report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag.
Starting point is 01:09:36 This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God. What is that?
