Nor would I click on that. If I saw that headline, why would I click on it? I didn't see the headline.

I just saw pictures on Instagram. I look at all the little blog sites and there it was. That one flew right by me. I was in bed by 9.30 last night, though,

because there wasn't nothing on TV. I watched a little bit of Unbreakable Kimmy Smith and I was reading some Bobby Bones book, Bare Bones, and then I was in bed

by 9.30. Then I'm done. All right. I feel so refreshed this morning. Then I'm done. All right. I feel so refreshed this morning. That sounds lovely. I feel so alive. Me too. Oh, look who just walked in.

Good morning, guys. I woke up. I didn't even get a chance to watch the game last night. I woke up this morning, and they're like, Curry dropped 40, 17 in overtime. Yeah, he definitely came back. Dropped one of Clues' bombs for the greatest waffle-colored Negro ever. Well, I went to go.

Besides me. No, Steph Curry's the greatest beige Negro ever. We gotta put that... Barack Obama first. Nah, Steph got Barack. Are you kidding me? Yeah, Steph got Barack. Are you kidding me? Hey, it's two different lanes. Stop it. Listen, Steph got kids wearing Under Armour. Okay? Under Armour sneakers.

Barack the president thing is cool for a black president and all that, but to make a man wear Under Armour sneakers? Wow. But Barack got black kids thinking that they could be president knowing that they could be president. Because I never thought

I could be president when I was a kid. You still can. It's easy to get some underarm sneakers. That president thing is a little lofty, but I get it though.

Well, I went to go see a documentary last night. What documentary? It was about an artist. She's from New Orleans. Her name is Princess Shaw. So it was called Presenting Princess Shaw. She better than Big Freedia? It's a different type of thing. She's from New Orleans. Her name is Princess Shaw. So it was called Presenting Princess Shaw. She better than Big Farida?

It's a different type of thing. She basically was an artist. She was putting all these videos on YouTube, wasn't getting a lot of hits. And then there was this guy from Tel Aviv that would actually make mashups of a lot of different people on YouTube, different artists, and make them into full songs together. And she went viral.

And then her song ended up getting over a million views. And then she ended up traveling to Tel Aviv and performing and now getting some notoriety. So the documentary filmmakers were actually filming her telling her they were doing a documentary on YouTubers and then they were filming him in Tel Aviv and then you just watched

the whole progression. But it was nice because I was rooting for her because things were really rough. She was sexually abused. She talks about that on her YouTube channel. She had times when she was feeling like nothing was ever going to happen for her, but she had a beautiful voice. Oh, God bless her. That's dope. Never heard of her.

Me neither. She can get a documentary. Big Freedia can definitely get one. Oh, my goodness. All right, well, let's kick the show off. Front page news, what are we talking about? We are going to talk about in North Carolina, the federal government is suing each other over transgender bathroom laws.

We'll get into that. And also Breezy from Empire. Who the hell is Breezy? That was Chris Rock's daughter in Empire if you watch Empire. You talking about Fantasia Loaf? Fantasia Loaf. You can call her Fantasia Loaf. Breezy is her name. The little short one. She plays

Frida Gass. Frida Gass. I like her character on Empire. Yeah, she'll be joining us in a little bit. I know the real name. Yeah. All right, well, let's get into it. Here's No Role Models. It's J. Cole.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. EJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. I got to get you guys on Game of Thrones, man. I just caught up on it yesterday. Oh, you're going to get us on there? It's amazing. You got to start watching it. I'm cool on Game of Thrones. It's six seasons in, man. I just caught up on it yesterday. Oh, you're going to get us on there? It's amazing.

You got to start watching it. I'm cool on Game of Thrones. There's six seasons in, man. I ain't got that kind of time. Yeah, nah, but it's good. You got that kind of time to catch up. You got to start from the very beginning of the first season. I want to know what's going on.

Nah, it's good. You can binge watch. You just take a little vacation. When we have a vacation, take one day. You'll watch an episode. Too much other stuff to binge watch. This is amazing, though. I'm still watching Unbreakable Kimmy Smith season two.

Grace and Frankie just came back to Netflix. There's too much other stuff to binge watch. This is amazing, though. I'm still watching Unbreakable Kimmy Smith season two. Grace and Frankie just came back to Netflix. There's too much other stuff out there, bro. An hour for six seasons? You know how much that is? I did it the whole summer, and it was worth it, though. All right, well, let's get into some front page news. NBA playoffs. The Heat beat the Raptors in overtime.

They tied a series 2-2. The Warriors beat the Blazers in overtime. They take a 3-1 lead, and Steph Curry dropped 40. I thought for sure when he came back, I thought he was going to be a little rusty. I thought he was going to be off. Listen, man. That man dropped 40. Second greatest player I've ever seen in my life.

Well, I caught the tail end of Magic, so really third. So Magic for me, then Michael Jordan, then Steph Curry. Never seen anything like those guys. You going to put AI up there? AI was kind of like Isaiah Thomas to me, but I love the AI. No. All right, well, let's talk about Donald Trump. What's he doing now?

Well, Donald Trump is now changing his mind about a couple of things. If you remember when Adrian Broner was up here, he said he's voting for Donald Trump, and part of that is because he doesn't want his taxes raised as a rich person. Well, here's what Donald Trump is now saying. I think nobody knows more about taxes than I do and income than I do. But I'll explain how it all works. I don't come up with it. I come up with the biggest tax cut by far of any candidate, anybody.

And I put it in. But that doesn't mean that's what we're going to get. We have to negotiate. The thing I'm going to do is make sure the middle class gets good tax breaks because they have been absolutely shunned. The other thing, I'm going to fight very hard for business. For the wealthy,

I think, frankly, it's going to go up. And you know what? It really should go up. Let me tell you something. I'm confused. This is dream selling season, okay? And now that the general election is upon us, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump

will both be selling us the greatest dreams they can possibly muster, okay? So now he's saying that the taxes will go up on wealthy people before he was saying they won't. But he's just saying that now. He's going to protect himself at the end of the day. He's going to protect himself. He's been saying he can change his mind.

He's allowed to do that. He's basically taking Bernie Sanders' blueprint. He's like, Bernie, you don't need that no more. Let me run with this one, okay? Let me run with these lines. Geesh. Now, what's going on in North Carolina? Well, they are now at odds. They are suing

each other, the federal government in North Carolina against the federal government. All of this is because of transgender rights. Now, the issue is this. It's over the bathroom bill. Basically, in North Carolina, they're saying that you have to use the bathroom according to your biological

gender, what you were born. I don't see nothing wrong with that. The federal government is saying that violates your civil rights and the rights of transgender people, you should be able to go use the bathroom for whatever gender that you identify with. And ever since this act has passed in North Carolina, a lot of artists, Bruce Springsteen, Demi Lovato, Nick Jonas, Pearl Jam, all of them have canceled concerts in the state. So people are saying they won't go to North Carolina anymore if they don't fix this. First of all, if you got a penis, go in the men's bathroom. If you got a vagina, go in the woman's bathroom.

If you want to go in the woman's bathroom, cut your penis off. And make up your mind quick because these bathroom lines are too long as it is, okay? So you got to figure this thing out, all right? And this is dangerous for a lot of reasons. All I have to do is say I identify as a woman to go walk in the woman's bathroom. So transgenders think this is really about them, but it's not. It's about all of these sickos that are going to take advantage of this law. That sounds crazy.

I'm with you. If you have a penis. I don't know, but it's hard. What about people who still might have, like, what about Caitlyn Jenner? Is she supposed to use the men's bathroom? Yes, go in the men's bathroom. Why are you making the line longer at the woman's restroom? We know Caitlyn Jenner identifies gender-wise as a woman.

Weird. But does she? She hasn't cut her penis off yet. No, she identifies as a woman. That's her gender. But if she goes in there, if you see a penis in the women's bathroom, how would you feel? Yeah, how would that make you feel? I'm going to be honest.

Things like that aren't that big a deal to me. They're not. We all use individual stalls. I've been to a lot of places. It would be to my daughter. Where the bathrooms are unisex. My daughter's in the female's bathroom. And Caitlyn Jenner walks in with her penis.

You have an issue. If I walked into the male bathroom and I saw a woman in there, I'd be like, what are you doing? Get out of here. All right, so if you walked into the men's bathroom and Caitlyn Jenner was in there, you'd be fine. I'm going to mind my business. He's standing up by the stall next to me. I'm going to stand up by the stall. I'm going to put a space in between because that's guy code.

That's guy code. And that's it. It's simple. I don't know. Listen, it's a very complicated issue. If you've got a penis, you should be in the men's bathroom. It's what it is because for transgenders, they feel like this is violating their rights and not treating them as equals.

Listen, it's all fun and games until guys are pretending to be transgender or transsexual just so they can go in the women's bathroom and get peaked. And peek under the stall, yeah. Come on, man. All of these weirdos out here, come on. All right.

Well, that is front page news. Tell them why you're mad. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, call us right now. Maybe you had a bad night or bad morning. Whatever it may be. 800-585-1051. Call us up right now if something pissed you off.

This is your time to vent. Phone lines are wide open. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. We don't need none of y'all good girls in the club. We need loose girls. We need drunk girls. We need sloppy girls. We need girls that just gonna call away. We don't need none of y'all nice girls in there. Go home. Go away.

Talk about it. And tell me why you mad. Breakfast Club for real. Hey, this is Diamond. I'm calling from Jersey. Hey, Diamond. Hey. What a name.

Tell them why you mad. You a stripper? No, I'm actually a rap artist. But I'm mad. I'm gonna stay on subject. I'm not trying to freestyle for y'all. I'm mad because it seems like with this whole transgender thing in the bathroom, what about the rights of the people who are still straight individuals?

That's real. They're so worried about changing everybody else's mind about what they choose to change in their life that they're messing up our First Amendment rights. There's dudes that don't want y'all, you know, females in the bathroom looking at their junk. There's females that don't want other dudes in the bathroom. You know what I'm saying? I think they just should, you know, stick to using the bathroom they grew up using. Yeah, we don't have a vote in this.

And they're trying to, it's like, okay, let's have equality for them. But what about us? Who says we agree with this? Well, they're saying it's equality versus privacy. That's their main two issues. Okay, well, it's not equal because we don't got a say in it. Looking at it from the point of view of somebody who is a transgender, maybe you don't want to use, you know.

I mean, I'm just giving both sides. I'm going to tell two dudes to go in the bathroom with you today and see how you feel. See if you can pee while two dudes are standing. Hello, who's this? Hello, this is Martez. I'm going to touch bases with that transgender subject. Okay.

If you want to be a female and you want to go into the men's bathroom, that's your choice. I mean, can't nobody stop you. But if you're trying to be a male and want to go in the women's bathroom, no. No. No. But if you have the surgery, you guys are okay?

Yes, if you got a penis, go in the men's bathroom. If you got a vagina, go in the women's bathroom. So if you cut your penis off and now you got a vagina, go in the women's bathroom. If you got a vagina, go in the woman's bathroom. So if you cut your penis off and now you got a vagina, go in the woman's bathroom. Let's just think about it. If you had, let's say, a little girl, and your little girl is in the bathroom, and then a female with a penis walks in, wouldn't that make you feel a little funny with your kids? The thing is that we don't use urinals or anything. We have actual individual stalls.

So I don't know that you would see anything because you go in a stall, close the door. So they are individual bathrooms. So that's why I feel like for a woman, it shouldn't be so much of a big deal because no one should be able to see you because it's not like the door is open. I just don't like it. That's all. I don't like it simply because I'm thinking about all of these sickos, all of these perverts who are going to start saying that they identify as women just to go in the women's bathroom. And that's going to lead to a whole lot of trouble. And especially as me as a father, I can't go in there with my 12-year-old,

13-year-old, 14-year-old daughter. So I wait outside and I have to worry about who's in there with us. You ain't got time for that, man. Stop it, man. Tell them why you're mad. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, call us right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Hey, yo, this is Matt Rapper. Good morning, yo, for real. I'm going to tell you why I'm mad. I'm going to tell you why I'm mad, for real, man. The Breakfast Club. Mike, tell them why you're mad. It's funny you mention that Games of Thrones. I just got into it. I do security in Detroit. And I was like, man, I need something to watch. I'm on season one, episode one. Season one, episode one. So now you're into it. You're not watching Game of Thrones, sir. Stop it.

I do security, so I got all day. The only thing missing is Angelina Jolie. You should have called us after you watched a couple seasons under your belt, sir. Not season one episode. But keep watching. It's good. It gets better. So how was the first episode?

It was good. It was scary. It was real good. Scary? But stay off of social media. Social media will F it up for you, all right? Jon Snow dies. Shut up.

I don't even know who that is. I've never even seen the show. They don't have no cliff notes. There's no cliff notes that I can read just to catch up. I only know that from social media. Hello, who's this? You just messed it up for me. Jon Snow does die, I guess. Hey, this is Jessica.

Hey, Jessica. Tell them why you mad. I'm mad because when Caitlyn Jenner first came out and she was on her little interview and everything, she said that if Kris Jenner would have been okay with what she was doing, they'd still be together right now. Yep, she's still like women. Yeah, me and she still like women. She's a big bitch.

Oh, you see her in my bathroom? Oh, no. And I'm mad about that. So they need to tighten up. I'm not going to North Carolina or South Carolina or wherever that is if it allows transgenders to come in my bathroom. All right. That's ridiculous.

It ain't even about transgender, because like I said, if you have a penis, you should be in the men's bathroom. If you have a vagina, you should be in the woman's bathroom. So if you're one of the transgenders, transsexuals that have had the complete surgery and you cut your penis off, go in the woman's bathroom. It's about having men who identify as women in the woman's bathroom,

because a lot of people can manipulate that and act like they identify as women just being there with the girls. And just like she said, Caitlyn says she still likes women. Right.

If you like vagina, you should not be surrounded by a bunch of vaginas. I can't just walk in a woman's locker room whenever I want to. Right. I used to want to,

especially after seeing Palky's. I'm sure you did once or twice. No, I never have. Oh. All right, well, tell them why you're mad. 800-585-1051. Now, you, we got rumors coming up.

Yes, find out what couple just recently had a baby. Also, we are going to talk about Beyonce. Her mom discusses what lemonade is about. Okay, all that and more. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on in. 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, Beyonce's mother was talking to ABC 13, and she was talking about Beyonce's lemonade. She said people make it all about the cheating and betrayal, and yes, that's part of it, because that's something you have to heal from. But if you really listen to the poetry, it's one of hope and betrayal, and yes, that's part of it because that's something you have to heal from.

But if you really listen to the poetry, it's one of hope and redemption, and hopefully that can be healing for people. Now, Tina Knowles went on to say, I think that everybody at one time or another has been betrayed and lied to, and it's about the pain. It's about the healing process, and it's about how do you get past that and move on. Basically, Tina Knowles is telling y'all to forgive, okay?

Just like Beyoncé forgave. Tina Nose done moved on, though. And other women have forgave. She's very happily married now to another man. That's true. We don't know how many times she forgave, though. Exactly. Right.

To a certain point. All right. Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling actually just had a baby two weeks ago. They said hardly anybody even knew she was pregnant. Did you know? Oh, Eva Mendes. Did you know she was pregnant? No, I didn't know.

Right. So, actually, she just gave birth. She was eight months pregnant. People had no idea the birth certificate was pregnant. Did you know? Ava Mendez. Did you know she was pregnant? No, I didn't know. Right. So, actually, she just gave birth. She was eight months pregnant. People had no idea. I didn't know. The birth certificate was signed on May 3rd. And they're saying the baby was born April 29th. What took Ryan Gosling so long?

I'd have been took the condom off with Ava Mendez. Well, they already have another kid. Oh, they got one before. Yeah, the same second. Good. Drop one of Clues bombs for him. Shooting that club up on a consistent basis. That is a club that needs to be shot up on the regular, damn it.

She is beautiful. All right, Chance the Rapper recently had to go to the hospital. They said he's suffering from some sort of illness. They don't know what it is exactly. It hasn't been revealed. But they said it's so bad that he had to check into the hospital. He was supposed to perform last night in New York City for a Robin Hood charity event, but he had to cancel at the last minute.

That's when Mark Ronson and Joey Badass stepped in to take his place. Now, they don't know why he's in the hospital, but he's supposed to put out his third mixtape later this week. So, I don't know, but... Hopefully Chance the Rapper gets better. Yes. Now, I know y'all all saw Snow on

the Bluff. You guys saw that movie, right? Classic. Alright, well, it turns out the actor and director behind that movie was right? Classic. Alright, well it turns out the actor and director behind that movie was arrested over the weekend. He had a standoff with police at a funeral service for his grandfather. Now how do we know he's not shooting snow on the Bluff part two? This could be maybe a case

of that, but he was actually arrested on Saturday. He barricaded himself in a woman's restroom at the Higher Ground Empowerment Church that's in Atlanta. He was there for his 94-year-old grandfather's service. This sounds like Snow on the Bluff part, too. I don't know. They said authorities were called.

There was a person who was armed. The police did not find any weapons. They said he had gotten into an argument with someone at the service, and that's when police were called. They actually got him out of the bathroom three hours later using tear gas. They look like they beat him up bad. Show the picture again, Revolt. Yeah, if you have Revolt TV,

you can see, actually. Oh, he did get arrested. Yeah, no, he got arrested. Oh, that ain't no movie. No, no, he got arrested for real. I hope he was filming and got some scenes from that, though. I didn't realize this,

but actually Michael K. Williams was the one who signed on as an executive producer for the movie, and that's when the film got repackaged and distributed for Netflix. I saw it on Netflix and Amazon. All right, and that is your Rumor Report. I'm Angela Yee. All right, Missy, when the film got repackaged and distributed for Netflix. I saw it on Netflix and Amazon. All right, and that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee.

All right, Miss Yee, when we come back, we got front page news. We'll tell you about Donald Trump. Do we have to? Yeah, and what's going on in North Carolina. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was work, Rihanna.

Drake, morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front-page news. Now, last night in the NBA playoffs, the Heat beat the Raptors in overtime to tie the series 2-2. The Warriors beat the Blazers in overtime to take a 3-1 series lead. Now, Curry had 40 points last night.

I believe he had like 26 or 28 in regulation. And then the rest, he was just going crazy in overtime. He hasn't played in two weeks. He came off the bench last night. He's the greatest waffle-colored Negro ever. I wouldn't say that. Number one khaki-colored Negro ever. Barack?

Yes. Oh. Barack president and all, and that's cool, but Steph Curry made people put on under-armor sneakers, bro. Barack gave young African-Americans hope that they could be president. Okay. I thought I could be president before this, but I never thought about wearing no underarm sneakers.

Ever. You might have. I've never. Are you wearing underarm sneakers? Never. You might have a point. Okay, so it didn't influence you. You might have a point. No, but it's influenced a whole lot of people, okay?

I've thought about being president, but I've never thought about putting on an underarm sneaker. All right? Yeah. Steph Curry makes you think about, you know what, maybe them underarms look a little higher. Maybe. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have to agree to him. Donald Trump, what's he doing now?

Well, Donald Trump previously had said that he's not going to raise the taxes for rich people. But now he's backtracking on that. And here's what he is saying about raising taxes. I think nobody knows more about taxes than I do and income than I do. But I'll explain how it all works. I don't come up with it. I come up with the biggest tax cut by far of any candidate anybody and I put it in but that doesn't mean that's what we're gonna get we have to

negotiate the thing I'm going to do is make sure the middle class gets good taxes tax breaks because they have been absolutely shunned the other thing I'm gonna fight very hard for business for For the wealthy, I think, frankly, it's going to go up. And you know what? It really should go up. www.respectmyvote.com. Go register to vote. The best way to combat Donald Trump is at the general election in November, okay? You know Donald Trump is everything that's right and wrong with this country, though. Because he's wrong because of the hate and bigotry, but he's right

because if the executive producer of Celebrity Apprentice can be the GOP nominee for the highest seat in the land, then you too can do anything, okay? You can build an amazing case for optimism using Donald Trump as an example. Now, what's going on in North Carolina? Well, the United States and North Carolina are having some issues over transgender rights. Now, the issue is this. According to the Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, she is saying that there are some struggles

and she compares it to civil rights struggles of the last century. Yes, because basically what they're saying is whatever gender you identify with, that's the bathroom you should be able to use in the workplace. So what North Carolina is saying as a state is that whatever gender you were born biologically is the bathroom that you should be using. Now, according to our Attorney General, she said it was not so long ago that states, including North Carolina, had other signs above restrooms, water fountains, and on public accommodations, keeping people out based on a distinction without a difference.

We move beyond those dark days. She also brought up more recent efforts to deny gay couples the right to marry. She said instead of turning away from our neighbors, friends, and colleagues, let us instead learn from our history and avoid repeating the mistakes of our past. Now, some musicians have refused to perform in North Carolina until they fixed these laws. Pearl Jam, Boston, Demi Lovato, Bruce Springsteen, Nick Jonas, all of these bands have canceled concerts in that state.

One of those cancellations cost the venue $200,000 in ticket sales. Look, transgenders, transsexuals, you can identify as whatever you want to identify as, but if you got a penis, go to the men's bathroom. If you got a vagina, go to the woman's bathroom. You want to go in the woman's bathroom? Cut your penis off. I would love to find a way to shorten the line at the men's restroom, but this isn't the way.

All it's going to do is make perverts and sexual... The women's bathroom line is always longer than the men's. Yeah, women's bathroom is always way longer. I'm not going to the woman's bathroom, so I don't care. I want our line to be shorter. I want the men's line to do is make perverts and sexual... The women's bathroom line is always longer than the men's. Yeah, women's bathroom is always way longer. Well, I'm not going to the women's bathroom, so I don't care. I want our line to be shorter. I want the men's line to be shorter. Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. How do you feel about this bathroom law?

This is ridiculous. Does this bother you? If it's that big a deal, build another bathroom. Now, put a porta potty out there. Put a porta potty out there. You can't put a porta potty out there. You can't put a porta potty, man. The men's, the women's, and the porta potty.

No, no, you can't do that. 800-585-1051. Because it comes to if you have a young girl. Let's say I take my daughter to the bathroom. I wait outside the bathroom, and somebody walks in that's a transgender, and she has a penis, and she's using the bathroom next to my daughter. It makes me feel a little awkward. And what about the perverts and sexual predators that's going to pretend to identify as women

just so they can go in the woman's bathroom and fuel their already sick desires? Okay? It's simple. You pick your project based on the tools you have. Penis, men's bathroom. Vagina, women's bathroom. But being a sick person doesn't, it could be any gender. You could be a man in a man's bathroom that's a sicko.

You could be a woman in a woman's bathroom. That's why you take your child in the bathroom with you. Exactly. That's why we don't let our kids go to the bathroom by themselves now. But if you have a young girl and you're out with your daughter,

I can't go into the bathroom with my daughter. I can't bring her into the bedroom. Yes, you can. No, not when they get about eight, nine. Nine when they're eight,

when they're six, seven, eight, but not when she's 12. Listen, anything could happen in the bathroom without you anyway with another woman. It doesn't matter who's in there. Listen, if it's that big a deal,

build another bathroom. Have it the M, the W, and the TGTS, Terra Squad, whatever it is. What? TGT, whatever. Terra Squad.

Transgender, transsexuals, whatever you want to do. Just build another bathroom or something, because this is ridiculous. If you've got a penis, go in a men's bathroom. If you've got a vagina,

go in a woman's bathroom. Let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. How do you feel about this bathroom law? Call us up right now. We want your honest opinion. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Here's Bryson Tiller. It's Exchange. That was Missy Elliott. Get your freak on. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, North Carolina and the feds are going at it right now.

You right? Yes, they're in a bit of a tangle over transgender rights. That's all over using the public. Tingle? T over transgender rights. That's all over using the public... Tingle? Tingle. Oh. That's all about using a public restroom. Okay, should you be able to use the bathroom based on the gender that you identify with, which is what the

federal government is saying, or should it be whatever you were biologically born, which is what North Carolina is saying? See, I feel like if you have a penis, you should use the men's room, and if you have a penis, you should use the men's room, and if you have a vagina, you should use the women's room. I really think that there's a lot of crazy people out there that would use this as an excuse to go peek under the stalls.

And I have a 14-year-old daughter, and I got to worry about that. She's going to be using the bathroom. I'm going to be waiting outside, and I want to make sure there's no crazy person in there that says I identified as a female. I mean, hopefully your daughter is very aware over anybody peeking under the stall in any bathroom. So regardless of who's in there, you be careful.

Listen, I feel the same exact way. Transgender, transsexual, you can identify as whatever you want to identify as. But if you got a penis going to men's bathroom, if you got a vagina going to a woman's bathroom, okay, it's not about what you feel like. It's about what you commit to. Now, if you commit and cut your penis off and now you got a vagina, go in the women's bathroom all you want. But until then, you play in the workshop

based on the tools you have. Penis, men's bathroom, vagina, women's bathroom. I do believe that surgery is extremely expensive. And I do know some transgender women who actually still have penises and look like women otherwise. So take your penis where the penises go in the men's bathroom. You know why? And how would you even know. So take your penis where the penises go in the men's bathroom.

And how would you even know if somebody has a penis? What if they go in the stall and they're not using it? You wouldn't even know. Listen, if they can't afford to have the penis surgery, they can't afford a good job. I'm pretty sure they look like a man when they walk in with a wig on. So you think transgenders should, whatever they identify with, they should use?

I think it should be clearly you can look at somebody and see that's what they identify with. It's all fun and games until you see men in the women's locker room. You know how when you go to department stores and they don't even let you go behind a certain wall when women are in there getting dressed. Guys gonna be walking in there. I identify as a woman. I'm fine. I just think it would be devastating for a Sydney star to go

in the men's bathroom and not be allowed to use a women's bathroom. Sydney got a vagina. She got a penis still? Sydney still got a penis? Listen, maybe not her, but Sydney don't still got no penis. Shauna Brooks still has a penis. So you feel like, you really think that transgender should be able to use

whatever they identify with. I think whatever gender you identify with, Caitlyn Jenner still has a penis. We all know that, right? Well, Caitlyn Jenner said that she would still be dating Kris Jenner. I wouldn't have a problem with Caitlyn Jenner using the women's bathroom.

Angelina say all that until she walks into this IHOP bathroom and there's two dudes in there peeing. We identify as women. It's not that you can just look like a man and not identify. Why not? Who says? There are people who for real, for real identify as women. It's just hard for you to make that distinction. Okay, but so what?

If I look like a man and identify as a woman, what does that mean? I can just simply say I identify as a woman. I can't afford the surgery or nothing. I don't think it's that easy. Why not? So you think they got to have on a wig and identify as a woman, what does that mean? I can just simply say I identify as a woman. I can't afford surgery or nothing. I don't think it's that easy. Why not? So you think they gotta have on a wig and a dress? No, I don't think any regular dude can just walk in and yell I don't think it's that easy. That's what they're saying. That's what they're trying to say. That's what you're opening up though.

If you identify as a woman, you can use a women's bathroom. You can't say, okay, let me see what's down there or what are you wearing today? Do you have lipstick on there? It's what you identify with. Exactly. I can look just like this and say I identify as a woman. You guys are making something completely different. It's common sense to me.

I didn't... Because what does a transgender look like? What does a transsexual look like? What does identifying as a woman look like? All the transgenders I know that identify as women

look like women. So I have to look like a woman to identify as a woman? I know quite a few and they all look like women and they're transgender. I don't think that's the case across the board.

I don't know. Hello, who's this? This is Darla. Hey, Darla. What do you think about this bathroom law? I believe that it's really enormously wrong and thinking that you're someone else does not make you right. I agree.

It's a form of dysmorphia. You believe you're something else when you look in the mirror, the same as a person that has anorexia believes they're thick or they're fat. You should go into the bathroom that you were born under. You were born under a man. You should be in a man's room. You're a woman. You go to the woman's room.

Stop trying to force us to accept you the way you want to be. You have to be accepted for what you were born as. And if you go and do the surgery, then you can go into that bathroom. Simple. Thank you, mom. Now, if you just joined us... I do think that surgery is extremely expensive. That's the reason why a lot of people

haven't done it. I mean, I'm sure that that surgery is expensive, but if you just joined us, we're talking about what's going on between North Carolina and the feds. Now, they are allowing transgenders to go in whatever bathroom they identify with, correct? Yes, that's correct. Do you have a problem with it? That's the question. Yes, I do. 585-1051. Hello, who's this? Yo, this's correct. Do you have a problem with it? That's the question. Yes, I do. 813-585-1051.

Hello, who's this? Yo, this is George Boskey from the 757. What do you think about the bathroom law, bro? Yo, I feel like if you look like a man and you go in a men's restroom,

they don't know you a man. They don't know if you're a woman or not. So I feel like you could use a saw and don't use a little quarter party drum. Just go in there

and do what you gotta do. If you look like a female and go in a female's restroom and do what you gotta do, they don't know. I don't think this should be a law, you know what I'm saying? So you don't have a problem with it.

You feel like a transgender can go whatever bathroom they identify with. Nah, I ain't identifying with me, bro. Right. If you look like a man and you a straight up dude, that's different. That means you don't identify as a woman.

But you, what you're doing right now is you're shaming guys who look just like men but identify as women. I don't think that's, that's not what it is. I bet you it's a bunch of dudes out there that look just like regular dudes but identify as women. I don't think that's not what it is. I bet you it's a bunch of dudes out there that look just like regular dudes

but identify as women. I've seen them. You see them on TV all the time. I guarantee you it is. Well, 800-585-1051. How do you feel about this new bathroom law? Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. That was Jeremiah with We Morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Phone lines wide open, 800-585-1051. We're talking about North Carolina and the feds. It seems like they're going at bat, going at war right now over transgenders being able to use any bathroom they want, basically, of what they identify themselves with.

Look, I would love to find a way to shorten the line at the men's restroom, but this isn't the way, okay? All this is going to do is make perverts and sexual predators pretend to identify as women just so they can go in the women's bathroom and fuel their already sick desires. It's simple. You pick your project based on the tools you have. Penis, men's bathroom. Vagina, women's bathroom. You can't pick based on what you feel like today.

I feel the same way. You have a penis, you use the men's room. Vagina, you use the women's room. I mean, that's honestly how I feel like today. I feel the same way. You have a penis, you use the men's room. Vagina, you use the women's room. I mean, that's honestly how I feel. And I'm not saying if you have the surgery, you cut your penis off, then yes, I identify you as a woman. That's a commitment. Listen, any man that is willing to sacrifice their penis for anything

can use any restroom he wants. I salute you because you got way more heart than me. Now, Angelina, you don't feel the same way. Well, no, I don't really, only because I know some transgenders who still have penises. I know that surgery is extremely expensive so they might not have gotten to get around to that yet, but they look like women

and I think it would be weird to have one, you know, to have her go in the men's bathroom with her wig, her makeup, her dress on and use the bathroom. But Sidney Starr, you said, you mentioned Sidney Starr early. Didn't she have a lot of work done though, hasn't she? Yeah. She's paid enough, she's invested enough in herself to be able to go use the women's bathroom.

If you cut your penis off, you can go in the women's bathroom. Listen, simple solution. Men's bathroom, women's bathroom, port-a-potty that says TS on it. Terror Squad? Not Terror Squad. Transsexual. Or TGT. Tyrese Genuine Tate? Transgender, transgender, whatever. You know what I'm talking about, boy.

Hello, who's this? This is Jasmine from VA. Hey, Jasmine757, who's this? This is Jasmine from VA. Hey, Jasmine757. How do you feel about this bathroom look? Women should go to the women's bathroom, and men should go to the men's bathroom. I do have a lot of trans, transgender friends, and I had a gay uncle growing up.

I just feel like stay with your gender. It was in the closet. You know, give our children a chance to pick what they want to be. TV shouldn't decide what you want to be. You should learn that at home from your parents. Okay, I don't know that TV decides what gender you want to be. I mean, you know, you got these people out here that'll say things like gender is a social construct. No, gender is a biological state of being.

If you got a penis, you're a man. If you got a vagina, you're a woman. And you should take your penis in the men's bathroom and take your vagina in the woman's bathroom. But what's the moral of the story, guys? The moral of the story is, what were they doing before? Okay, let's go back to doing that. Because what we didn't know wasn't hurting us.

I never thought about this. People were using whatever bathroom they went. Exactly. I never thought about this before. And the only reason they want. I never thought about this before and the only reason I'm thinking about this now is because of this law. So whatever they were doing before, let's go back to that because we were fine. Do you remember the days when you go in a club and the bathroom was just

open for everybody? I never liked unisex bathrooms. I always thought that was dangerous. I remember I heard about unisex bathrooms at the 4040 in New York and I'm like, that's ridiculous. I never liked that. I don't like unisex bathrooms now. I don't like unisex bathrooms. the 40-40 in New York. And I'm like, that's ridiculous. I never liked that. I don't like unisex bathrooms now.

I don't like unisex bathrooms. I think that's wrong. I don't think that's a safe environment for men or women, regardless of where the establishment is. I just think that's too much room for error in those places. Especially in a club. When you're drunk and people are on drugs, and then you have men and women in the bathroom together? No, I don't like that.

We've got rumors coming up. Yes, we are going to talk about Ja Rule's tweets yesterday. People were making fun of him and we'll tell you what happened. And also Janet Jackson. We know that she's pregnant. She's about to, is she 50 yet? Or she's about to be 50? Well, they're saying that perhaps she already has a child.

So we'll give you the information on that and what her ex-husband has to say. Okay. All that and more. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up.

It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club.

Well, yesterday, Ja Rule sent out a tweet. I couldn't figure out what was going on with Ja Rule that everybody was talking about him. He messed up. Yesterday, he said, this is why I love America. While we all laughing at the Jordan crying face, he gets a dollar every time it gets posted. Joke's on us. I don't know what he got that for. He got it from a parody site called TMZComedy.com.

Right. Those parody sites are horrible. I mean, I've been. Sometimes you get tricked into thinking something's a real article. Yeah, every day I get a text or call from somebody asking if I got shot because of some article that came out a couple days ago. You got shot a couple of times.

My father's called me three times to ask me to make sure I haven't been shot. He literally called me yesterday. I'm on the couch. He was like, you sure you ain't get shot? Man, if you don't leave me alone. Pray for Charlamagne. Alright, well he's since deleted the tweet, of course. And people were going in on him. They said, Ja Rule deleted the tweet, but I doubt he knows how

screenshots and the internet work. And they were going on and on. They did the whole crying face, Jordan crying face meme on his body. Yeah, they got him back for it. And Ja Rule said, oh, so this is how the internet works. Say dumb ish, get a bunch of new followers. This won't be easy for me, y'all, but I'll try.

Y'all laughing, but every time someone screen grabs that tweet, I get 50 cents. Let's be clear, though. 95% of y'all believe everything you read on the internet. Okay? Let's be clear about that. Okay. This is just one of those cases where y'all just look extra silly. Because I ain't going to front.

When I saw it, I was like, for real? No, you didn't. No, you didn't. No, you didn't. I just did not say that. I mean, because y'all tweeted it. I'm like, I was like, for real? No, you didn't. No, you didn't. No, you didn't. I just did not say that. I mean, because Ja tweeted it. I'm like, maybe Ja got some inside information that we don't. Oh, man.

All right. And this is the same guy, Michael Jordan, who wouldn't even let you use his likeness on a video game. That's true. But if he did get a dollar every time that was used. What? It would be ridiculous. It would be crazy. It would be nowhere to count it.

All right. Now, here's something else that has been reported since people believe everything they read. Janet Jackson, does she already have a child? Now, now that she's 49 years old and pregnant with what she's saying is her first baby, some other things are coming up. Now, her first husband, James DeBarge, did an interview with Radar Online, and he said that he was contacted by a woman who claimed to be his daughter a couple of years ago. Now, he hasn't met her yet and he hasn't taken a DNA test. And he said the woman was very fearful. She said she described as much as she could tell me because she was so fearful.

She was angry about people running with this story about this other child being my baby. She got very angry. She said, Papa, I want to help you out. She had so much personality. She was so accurate with everything she was saying. It was only things that I and Janet know. No one else but God, me, and Janet. I don't believe that debauched.

The main reason I don't believe that debauched is because I haven't seen it on Facebook or Twitter yet. When I see it on Facebook or Twitter that Janet got another child, then she got another child. Well, they even posted a picture of the young lady as well. Let me see. They've been saying it for a long time. Where's she at? She on TV? And you know what they have said is that Janet Jackson's baby

was adopted by her brother, Jackie, and his ex-wife who died in 1997. So, I don't know. They've been saying that for a long time.

That has always been the rumor. Everybody. Who's everybody? The media is dead. Well, it seems like even James DeBarge might potentially, yeah,

even James DeBarge might potentially believe that. If I'm Janet Jackson's daughter, you think I'm keeping quiet in this day of social media? You know how many likes I'll get being Janet Jackson's daughter? You know how many Instagram follows I'll get? Unless I'm not attractive. I'm cosmetically challenged, Navy. You think so?

A lot of pressure to live up to when your mom is Janet Jackson. Yeah, I'm sure. All right, well, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. Charlamagne, who you giving that donkey to? Listen, donkey of the day, I can admit I'm a day late on this. Ironically, Lauryn Hill needs to come to the front of the congregation.

Now? Again? We'd like to have a word with her. Now? Okay, I'm late. You can't get somebody donkey for being late and then you're late. I'm late on it. I'm sorry. All right. Well, we'll get to it. We'll get to it when we come back. Keep it locked. I'm late on it. All right. Well, we'll get to it. Firing at a situation. We'll get to it when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day at Shulman. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed one. So like a donkey. He hung. 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. Hey! Donkey of the day for Tuesday, May 10th is going to the legend known as Lauryn Hill. I know, I know, I know. Ironically, I should have given her donkey of the day yesterday, but I'm late with it. See, the energy of my hee-haws weren't aligning with the time, okay? Lauren was scheduled to perform in Atlanta this weekend, and per usual, she showed up two and a half hours late.

Now, some things are expected in life, and Lauren Hill showing up late for shows is one of those things, but she's not getting donkey for showing up late. She's getting donkey for this entitled excuse she used for showing up late. See, Lauren, the fly old auntie she is, issued an apology on her Facebook page on Sunday. Now, in this apology, Lauren Hill told fans she was more

than two hours late because she was aligning her energy with the time because I care so deeply about the autistic process. I scrutinize, have perfectionist tendencies, and want space made for spontaneity. What's the word? Spontaneity. There you go, which is not an easy process, okay,

with the many moving parts on the road. Some days we are more successful than others regarding time. That is the most entitled, bougie, wordy excuse for being late I have ever heard in my life. This is the excuse of someone with entitlement mentality. And like I told you all yesterday, service and gratitude will fuel your relationships. Entitlement and expectations will poison them.

Lauren showing up late and then giving excuses like your energy was not aligned with the time is just lazy. It's not about you, Lauren. I mean, it is, but it's about the fans when it comes to a show. The people who pay a lot of money to come see you perform. And when they tell those people to be there at a certain time, that you have to be there at a certain time it's simple you're taking

advantage of the love people have for you by making them wait two and a half hours to see them to see you perform okay you know why because you are entitled all the work you did with the fujis the miseducation of lauren hill the unplugged album was great but knock it off already only person worth waiting on is Jesus. And the only reason we waiting on him is because he didn't give us a scheduled date to come back. He just said he would return. We should not give Lauren Hill a dime of our money anymore

until she starts respecting our time. Okay, we have empowered this sense of entitlement that exists within her long enough, so let's just stop. Simple and plain. Okay, time is money. She don't respect our time. Then don't spend our money with her. When you support a celebrity and they start taking us for granted, acting entitled, just pull back.

Okay? Entitlement is a delusion built on self-centeredness and laziness. Never in a million years would I think someone like Lauryn Hill, who has given us so much via her music, would ever be so self-centered. Give Lauryn Hill the biggest hee-haw, please. You're a little late, but well-deserved. Ironically, I'm a little late. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir.

When we come back, Chris Rock's daughter, Breezy, from Empire. Now, you know Chris Rock was on Empire. Chris Rock got a daughter that's on Empire? No, Chris Rock was on Empire, and he had a daughter. Her name was Frida Gatz on the show. Oh, you're talking Chris Rock was on Empire. Chris Rock got a daughter that's on Empire? No, Chris Rock was on Empire. He had a daughter. Her name is Frida Gatz on the show. Oh, you talking about Fantasia Loaf. Fantasia Loaf!

No, her name is Frida Gatz on the show. Her rap name is Breezy. That girl's name is Fantasia Loaf, man. That's what they call her. Okay. Who calls her that? Internet, and that's the only voice that matters. Okay?

They. I love her character on the show, by the way. All right, when we come back, we're going to kick it with Breezy, a.k.a. Frida Gatz, a.k.a. Fantasia Loaf. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.

Come on in. That was I Need a Girl. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Oh, I can't wait to hear this. We have Chris Rock's daughter in the building, Breezy. But on the show, you was Chris Rock's daughter.

Right, right. I'm be honest with you. I had no idea who Breezy was. I know Frida Gatz. Right. I know Fantasia Loaf. Shut up. I'm like, who is Breezy?

And they was like, the rapper. I'm like, oh, okay. Like I said, she played Chris Rock's daughter on Empire. Yeah. Chris Rock died and you got a rap career. Right. Chris Rock got killed. Murdered.

Do you feel like they fashioned you after Dej Love? Because a lot of people were making those comparisons when it first came on the show. No. Absolutely not. No. Because I had some input on that. You had to laugh at that name, though.

Fantasial. I did. I mean, yeah. I did. But I mean, I just, you know, I appreciate everything. Absolutely. If they ain't talking, what are we doing? There you go.

That's how I felt. So it didn't bother me at all. Absolutely. It bothered a lot of people around me, but I was like, for real? They gotta understand that comes with the territory, though. They don't. They don't. When you're on TV and stuff, you're in the public eye,

they're gonna say something. It's not like they're gonna ever say. But they got to. They got to. It's not like they're gonna ever say, you know what, she did a great job tonight. They gotta say something. They'll never give that up. I thought it was funny. Now, you're a real rapper. Real rapper. From Philly. Yes. Now how'd you get on Empire? I got a phone call about it. Somebody was like, yo, I think you should do this.

Blah, blah, blah. So I went in and did an audition for Leah Daniels. Lee Daniels. Leah. Oh, Leah. His sister. Oh, got you, got you, got you. She does all this. How are you gonna correct her? Like, she doesn't know how to do it. I can understand why you would say that. No. You play too much. I'm like, I can understand why you would say that. No. You play too much.

I'm like, I can understand why you would say that. No, no. Stop. Leah does all of Lee Daniels' casting. So just audition for her. She loved it. Here we are. Absolutely.

Now let's talk about your career before Empire, though. Before Empire, I was just, I mean, I was a regular working person like everyone else. But you did get some musical placements prior to being on the show. Yeah, I did. So that makes it like you felt like things were going somewhere. Because I know people have said Quincy, Diddy's son, was supposed to be on Empire, but he felt like the contract was too crazy. Was that something that you had to consider before going on the show?

Or were you like, yes, I'm definitely doing this? Yeah, no, I was doing it. I mean, God put it in front of me. It was mine. I wasn't worried about nothing else. It was supposed to happen. And you were you like, yes, I'm definitely doing this? Yeah, no, I was doing it. I mean, God put it in front of me, it was mine. I wasn't worried about nothing else. It was supposed to happen. And you were a barber too.

Yeah, I was a barber. I was cutting hair. Oh, you really cut hair? I saw you on the show cutting. You really cut? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've been cutting hair since I was 10 years old.

I never did nothing else. That's some good money though. You probably always had money from the kids. Yeah, it was always good. And even with the song placements and stuff like that, that wasn't something

I was chasing. It just happened to be in the right room at the right time with the right bars. You know what I'm saying? You cut Akon, Ludacris, and rapping all at once. Yeah, I mean, I just, you know, I kept my rapping, you know, kind of to

myself. I wasn't the, here's my mixtape, hear me out. While you're cutting here, you could have just been rapping. It wasn't that. It wasn't that. It wasn't that because, you know, these was my relationships with Khan and Chris and stuff. Those were like my brothers. You know, it wasn't like, can I get in the studio? It wasn't none of It wasn't that. Because, you know, these was my relationships with Khan and Chris and stuff. Those were like my brothers. You know, it wasn't like, can I get in the studio? It wasn't none of that.

Who the hell trusted their fade with a 10-year-old? I'm not going to lie. Like, I was nice. I mean, I'm still in. Is there anything you can do for certain people's hairline? Show your hairline, Charlamagne. No way. I ain't got no haircut right now either.

Hell no. I keep a Barbie. I come from a family of Barbies. My dad cuts, my grandfather, my uncle. So it was just in my blood. But you know, the Barbie, you want somebody to talk to. 10 years old. I'm like, what are we going to talk about?

Yeah, I mean, but I was in the shop. I mean, at 10, I was getting right. Did they trust you? Or was you the Barbie that used to be sweeping up around their station all the time because you had no customers? No, I actually began working at 14. I actually began working in the shop at 14. Got, I actually began working at 14. I actually began working in the shop at 14. Got you, got you, got you.

That was nice. Don't do that. Don't do that. Now, did you ever think playing Frida Gatz would confuse people about your own career? Honestly, I didn't.

Now I see that it has. But, I mean, that whole acting world, because a lot of people get it misconstrued. Like, that's not reality television. They think you are from Brooklyn. Yeah, people come up to me like, I'm sorry about your dad.

And I'm like, what you talking about? But you know, in this time, everything we do is reality TV. So it's like people are a little confused. I'm just like, you know, that is a character. But you do have to create that separation. So you write for Jennifer Lopez, that's true?

Yeah. Wow, what song? It was just Girls, it was called Girls, produced by DJ Mustard. Wow. Collaborative. Did it come out?

Yeah, it came out. And for Dr. Dre? Yeah. What'd you write for Dre? Worked with a girl named Aja Bryant on the Straight Outta Compton soundtrack,

along with a Games album, documentary, too. Aja from Charleston, 843. Now, what's your connection like with Philly? Bryant on the Straight Outta Compton soundtrack along with a Games album documentary. Asia from Charleston, 843. Now, what's your connection like with Philly? I know early on you were working with Freeway. Explain all of this to me because I read a little bit, but I got to hear how it happened. That was my man. He was a friend of my mom's. You know what I'm saying? And this was around

a time where, you know, state property was just getting their buzz. Philly was on fire. Philly was on fire. You know what I'm saying? So for me to be around somebody like him, that's like being in New York and sitting with Hov. You know what I'm saying? Like in our city, that was lit.

You know, so he was just the first one that was just like, I used to sit around and just watch because I was always around. I used to sit around, watch, watch, watch. He put me in the studio like, if this is what you want to do, let's see what you're going to do. You probably know everybody just from being in the barbershop. I do. Did you ever trim Freeway's beard?

Huh? Did you ever trim Freeway's beard? No, Free had a barber. Free had a barber. So, yeah, we all used to get our hair cut by the same person. Gotcha. So it was cool. But we, you know, our relationship was just built on that.

You know what I mean? He was around more like big bro. You know what I'm saying? I used to be able to go on the road with him and stuff like that. But when he put me in it, and I was just doing it around the way, and we was doing talent shows at my school,

I'm like, oh, I'm lit. I'm going to be signed to the rock. You couldn't tell me I wasn't. I was on my way. How was working with Cookie and Terrence? Amazing. Cookie and Terrence. Why is it not Cookie and Lucius or Taraji and Terrence?

No, amazing. They're really cool people. They're really cool people. I mean, Terrence is amazing. Taraji, cool. Everybody's just, they're really what you see on TV. You know, they cool. Everybody's cool.

Terrence, you know Terrence uses wet wipes. Like to wipe his ass. I don't know what that man doing in the bathroom. You should use wet wipes. Me and him are the closest out of all the cast. What? I don't know. What's that man doing in the bathroom? You should use wet wipes. FYI. But me and him are the closest. Yeah? Out of all the cast. Me and him are really close.

Because I spent a lot of time with him. My first day on set was with him. You know, and every day after that was with him. He a cool brother, man. He came up here one time with an interview with gloves on, right? I remember I interviewed him once. That's when he was putting his album out. And he had the guitar and everything.

Yeah, he's a real musician. He's a good one, too. Yeah, he really, really. He just always so intense for no reason. I think you got to know him. You have to know him to really comment and give your opinion on who he is. Because you don't, you don't, a lot of people don't get who he is. Because he ain't going to give it to you.

He's going to give you exactly what you said. He's going to give you cold, the weirdo. He was so nice when he came up here. He was giving you cold. But he's going to give you that. Leave me alone. You know what give you that. Leave me alone. You know what I'm saying? Leave me alone.

And he just doesn't care to get into people. You know what I'm saying? And I think a person like him, he's been in this industry a long time. He done seen it all, done it all. Y'all ain't got nothing for that man. And he was up here. He was giving us some advice on The Breakfast Club and saying how much he enjoys the show. Yeah, man, he's doing it.

He's a genius. All right, we have more with Breezy when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Say It, Tory Lanez. All right, we have more with Breezy when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Say It, Tory Lanez. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

We are The Breakfast Club. Now we have a special guest in the building. She's from Empire. She actually played Chris Rock's daughter on Empire. Breezy. How much do you have to stick to the script when you're on Empire? Because I know it's very different on television. You can't, like, spontaneously say, well, I would have said this here, so I'm going to just.

Oh, no. See, that's the thing. Our set was fun, so it was a lot of that. You see a lot of that coming from Gabby, coming from Taronda. So you can ad-lib a little. Yeah, all the time. Okay. I was a lot of ad-lib.

I just love the fact you're bringing hard hairstyles back. I'm from the South. The finger waves, all that. I love my waves. Word up. How long did it take to do it? Yeah, about 20 minutes. You doing yourself?

Or you got somebody doing it? I'll just find somebody doing it. Yeah. It's not easy, though. It does get a little bad in the summertime. Like, I saw you when you was patting just now. Because you want to itch, but you don't want to get one out of place. I'm just crazy.

I love hard hairstyles, man. You from the South Carolina? South Carolina, absolutely. You from Charleston? I'm from hard hairstyles. I was born in Charleston, raised in Moscona. Okay. That's nice.

You from the country. You damn right. Do they tell you how many more seasons they anticipate you being on? I do. I love boiled peanuts. Every time you go to South Carolina, it's at the gas station with the peanuts. Do they tell you how many seasons they anticipate you'll be on? Or do you find out when everybody else does?

Yeah, I find out when I... So they didn't kill you yet? Mm-mm. We already was killing you. Well, I ain't did. I ain't died. Your nickname, Breezy. Yes.

Your grandma gave you that, right? Grandma, my mom. What's that mean? It's stupid. But when I was born, they couldn't figure out why I wouldn't stop crying. And I was screaming and yelling. And I think I gave myself a hernia as a kid. But they realized that the windows were open.

Oh. It was cold. Gotcha. They just called you Breezy. That's how she got it. All right, so what's the plans next, Breezy? You're on Empire. You have this great platform.

You've already laid down the foundation somewhat. What are you looking forward to doing? Definitely still. I plan on continuing God Willing Empire throughout the next season and just season myself a little bit more. Since we finished filming, I did a comedy movie.

Myself, Vivica Fox, a few other people, new actors. We did a movie called Fat Camp. Did Gabriela sit up in it? Nah. Stop. You an ass, man. What else? Doing this new edition. Oh, youela Sidibe in it? Nah. Stop. You an ass, man. I just asked a question. No, no, no, no. What else?

Doing this new edition. Oh, you're going to be in the new edition biopic? Yeah. Oh, that's dope. Lala's in that too, I heard. Yeah. There's a lot of people

in it. What's your character? I'm playing Ricky's sister. Oh, nice. Okay. Yeah, so, you know, just continue to try to season myself

and get, you know, just acclimated with the territory because I really like it. I mean, it's new, but I like it. It seems like you're having fun. I've seen you over the weekend

out having a good time. Yeah, it is fun. It is fun. I was hungry. She was sitting there eating. No, but it's just, it's just, it's just,

it's like flirting. No, I was on the, I was on the panel. That's not like flirting. No, no, no, no. I was on the panel and I was starving. She was sitting there with L'Oreal and Paris and they was all eating and we couldn't have no food because we was on the panel. That's not like flirting. No, no, no, no. I was on the panel and I was starving. She was sitting there with L'Oreal and Paris and they was all eating and we couldn't have

no food because we was on the panel, so. Yeah, and I was just trying to be focused on what y'all was talking about. How is everything for you on social media? I know when you make that jump to being on a huge show like Empire and everybody's watching and critiquing, do you sometimes get irritated or you just focus on the positive? She trending every week, damn near. The thing is, and I'm going to be honest with y'all because I do go through my comments and I see things, I've

never seen anything negative about myself. Outside of the, if you want to consider the Dej Lo comparison or the Fantasia, whatever, if you want to consider... I don't know if that's negative. If you want to consider it that, then cool, but I've never seen it. And for myself, as Breezy

and for that character, I've seen nothing but good And for myself, as breezy, and for that character, I've seen nothing but good things. Well, after this interview, you'll see some. I'm sure. That's fine. That's fine.

You know what I'm saying? I call you a beige bitch all the time. Well, that's not negative. But you are a beige bitch. Yeah, that's not negative. I can understand why. He's not a beige bitch.

He just plays one on radio. We got some bars. No, hold on. Are you self-proclaimed unapologetically butch? What? What? You keep reading the script. And actually, if you pay attention,

that's not what the character turned out to be. Does she look butch to you? What butch you know in a crop top with a swoop and lashes on? Yeah, it's stupid. See how he said it? But you see how easily

We can get things confused Are you self-proclaimed Unapologetically a butch You know he didn't Make that up himself That's Lee Daniels Character description And that was the thing

I wanted the character To be realistic Like let's not Let's not Like you know what I'm saying Let her just Let her If anything

You know what I'm saying? Because it's so stupid. Did they try to get you to do that? No. Let a nigga try me. Yeah, they did.

I'm happy to have met y'all. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yeah. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip.

Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. 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, congratulations to Drake.

One Dance is the number one song, so congratulations to him. That's his first number one ever, right? With him as the lead. He's had two previous ones that he was on with Rihanna. Right. But this is his first. That's his song. I ain't dropping a clue bombs for Aubrey.

Why not? It's a dope record, so. One dance. The record sounds real good when you're in a Jamaican restaurant and the lights are low. I was in Miss Lily's last week and that's when the lights were low

and the record was playing. Mm-hmm. I was like, okay. And both Kyla and Wizkid who were on that song have never been even on the Hot 100 before, so now their first song

ever on the Hot 100 make it to the number one. One time for Nigeria! That's where Wizkid from, right? I don't know. You're just gonna shout out that don't know? Yeah, well, Nigeria, just take that as a shout out. I'm pretty sure that's where Wizkid is from. Alright, now in addition, Drake did an interview

with Nardewar, not with Elliot Wilson like we thought was gonna happen. Listen, Elliot, all of that D-Riding you're doing is not paying off, bro. Like, come on, man. He gon' get it. You're losing your touch, Elliot. In this interview, Drake talks about him almost getting arrested in Jamaica. I almost did get arrested because

in Jamaica, the way the police monitor the shows is they try not to incite the crowd, so they don't like you to swear, and obviously I was just excited to be in Jamaica, so I started, you know, cussing up a storm, and yeah, they were. So I started, you know, cussing up a storm. And yeah, they were about to arrest me. But luckily, like I think Beanie Man was there and a bunch of people were there.

And they just kind of tried to explain to the police that I didn't understand. And I was with somebody, I won't say her name, but it was like our first time ever going out together. And needless to say, she did not stick around. She definitely left and never spoke to me again. Drop one of Clues Bums for Nodwall, by the way. I think Nodwall is the most prepared interviewer ever.

Mm-hmm. Like, there's nobody that does their history and research to an artist like Nodwall. She definitely wasn't all right to die. She didn't speak to him

No, she was out. All right, and then he also talked about recording with Dr. Dre. Check it out. We have a long history with Dr. Dre. We were blessed enough to be part of the Record One troops.

We had our experience, you know, being part of that. So it was definitely, it was nerve wracking and we were young, but we tried our best. And, you know, and he gave us a shot. We did what we did. Did your tracks ever surface? No, I don't know if anyone's tracks ever surfaced. But there was a lot of music back then, and I

got to work with Snoop Dogg in that time. I got to work with a bunch of people. It was a big honor, you know? I know one thing I would hate to be in Drake's management team this week, because Drake's doing SNL this weekend. I know Elliot Wilson is blowing up everybody in OVO's phone trying to get Drake to do an interview. He's just gonna show up. He's gonna show up

everywhere, Drake. At his hotel room, bathrooms. Elliot doing so much Drake D-riding this week, he gonna get pregnant. He's going to show up everywhere, Drake. At his hotel room, bathrooms. Elliot doing so much Drake D-riding this week, he's going to get pregnant. He's going to have an owl in his stomach. Elliot Wilson is going to have an owl in his stomach by the end of the week the way he D-riding OVO for that Drake interview this week. All right, now, Bobby Shmurda's trial has been postponed.

It was supposed to start this week. Again? It's been postponed until September now, September 12th. Damn it, man. How long has he been in jail? What, three years now, two years? It's been 50 until September now. September 12th. Damn it, man. How long has he been in jail? What, three years now? Two years? It's been 509 days. Some 510 days. Something like that. So apparently the postponement is at the request of their

attorneys, though, for the four defendants. He's being, you all know he's being charged with conspiracy to commit murder in the second degree, two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, reckless endangerment, and one count of criminally using drug paraphernalia. Now, you know he is suing the NYPD for an alleged false arrest on gun and drug charges, and his mother has said that he's staying busy in jail.

He's been writing two movie scripts about his life, one on his come-up and the other based on his experiences as a rapper. Poor kid didn't even get a chance to turn his life around, man. Hillary Clinton did say she would look into a pardon of Bobby's murder, though. She did ask about that. If she gets into the White House. She did say that. Her and Max B.

All right, now Dwayne Wade was under fire. He was playing against the Toronto Raptors. And apparently, while he was doing his pregame shooting routine, a young girl was singing Canada's national anthem, Oh Canada, and he was still shooting around. So apparently that is obviously disrespectful. You're supposed to silently reflect during the national anthems for both teams involved in the NBA playoff game. And, you know, I don't think he knew.

So he did put out some statements. He said, you're always sensitive to anything throughout the world. I'm not thinking about nothing like that. I'm thinking about what I need to do before every game that I prepare for and have been doing my whole career. He said he's not a disrespectful person. If anybody thinks I'm being disrespectful to their country, they have no idea who Dwayne Wade is. So it didn't touch Dwayne Wade.

Dwayne Wade didn't look around and be like, damn, why everybody just standing around, like, watching this young girl? Nah, because people, they were moving around. It wasn't like everybody was just stopped and he was on the street. Yeah, nobody, listen, we don't respect other people's national anthem saying America.

That's just the way it is. They're going to give him hell when he go to Canada, though. Yeah, they already were trying to see if they could get him suspended. Some people wanted him to get a one-game suspension. But mad people's walking around. If you look at the video,

nobody's really paying attention at all. Yeah, I highly doubt he purposely said, I'm going to disrespect Canada and still do these pregame shots. Damn, Drake might have sent Gabrielle Union a DM just because now. All right, well, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee.

All right, Miss Yee. Now shout out to our family at Revolt. We'll see you guys tomorrow. All right, well, that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. All right, Miss Yee. Now shout out to our family at Revolt. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next. You want to hear something, 800-585-1051, at DJ Envy or Sir Envy1 on Snapchat.
