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

Y'all are so petty.
Why are y'all so petty?
The world's most dangerous morning show.
DJ Envy.
Captain of this bitch.
Angela Yee.
I stay in everybody's business, but in a good way.
Charlamagne Tha God.
The ruler rubbing you the wrong way.
The Breakfast Club.
Made for everybody.
Good morning,
USA!
Angelina? Yo, yo, yo. Oh, okay. Good morning,
Angelina. Oh, I didn't know Charlamagne was there. I'm in Detroit. I know you're in Detroit, but it's
Friday!
It sure is.
Now, I am having a great time out here.
I'm staying at the MGM Grand.
I never stayed there before.
Okay.
But it's really nice.
We lost some money last night gambling.
Me and L'Oreal is out here with me.
But we ate at the restaurant inside of the hotel, Wolfgang Puck.
That's all I did yesterday.
I had a good time.
I came to the hotel, checked in, and
hung out in there. Now, you're in Detroit for
Coats for Kids, correct? Yes, Coats for Kids
is tomorrow, but later on today, I'll be
at Metro PCS. Okay.
Now, last night, I was at
Manhattan Brew and Vine.
Did I say it right? MBV. Yes, I said it
right. It was a good spot. It's up in Harlem.
It's black-owned.
That's not really Harlem. They call it Harlem. Well, yes, it's Harlem. It's like what? Yeah It's up in Harlem. It's black owned. That's not really Harlem.
They call it Harlem.
Well, yes, it's Harlem.
It's like what?
Yeah, it's definitely Harlem.
That's Harlem.
I was looking at it as uptown.
No, no, it's past uptown.
It's Harlem.
But it was a good spot.
Food was great.
I had a good time there.
So shout out to everybody that came out to Manhattan Brew and Vine.
I'm excited about today. Today is my son's last home game playing football.
So this is the last game for him in town.
Then after this, he's not going to play in town anymore.
He's going to high school next year.
So I'm excited about this.
This is where the parents get to walk on the field with him.
So I'm excited about that.
So this is going to be a lot of fun.
The weather's supposed to be beautiful.
You're excited to walk on the field?
Yeah, walk on the field, see his last home game.
And the last time he get to play in town with his friends.
So this is good for me.
This is this is going to be a lot of fun.
I'm excited about it.
Well, all right, then.
Now, this morning we have Tamika Mallory and Myson.
They'll be joining us.
Now, if you don't know who Tamika Mallory is, she's in the recent thing.
She was kicked off an American Airlines flight for absolutely positively doing nothing.
Did absolutely positively nothing.
I would be so mad.
Kicked off a flight, missed one of her closest friends' wedding because there was no flights after that until the next day.
So we're going to talk to her, see exactly what happened.
Wasn't it Al Sharpton's daughter's wedding or something?
Yeah, it was Al Sharpton's daughter's wedding.
And she missed that wedding because she was kicked off a flight for absolutely positively doing nothing.
And, you know, I always say that sometimes pilots have too much power,
meaning they can decide who's on that flight, who can get kicked off that flight just by saying it.
They don't really need a reason.
They can just say, hey, that person looks threatening and they can kick you off a flight.
Flight attendants can do that too.
Really?
Yeah, they can definitely kick you off the plane also.
But even more importantly with Tamika Mallory, though, she also was one of the organizers of the Women's March.
Absolutely.
And she's on the cover of Glamour magazine.
She's one of the Glamour Women of the Year.
Okay, so we'll kick it with Tamika Mallory a little bit later.
And we got front page news, what we talking about?
Well, let's talk about Donald Trump.
His Twitter account somehow got shut down.
And we'll tell you how that happened.
Actually, a pretty funny story.
Okay, we'll get into all that when we come back.
It's Friday.
It's Cardi B.
It's Bulldog Yellow.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Hey!
What the hell is Angela Yee?
What I miss?
She's in Detroit.
I'm in Detroit.
Oh, hey, Angela Yee.
Yeah, she's doing cool for kids out in Detroit.
Okay.
Now, let's get into Thursday Night Football.
The Jets looked good last night.
They look like a real football team.
Oh, Lord.
Let me tell you that.
Oh, so now you're a Jets fan.
I'm not a Jets fan, but they look good last night.
New York people are so bandwagon.
I'm not.
I'm a Giants fan.
I'm always a Giants fan.
Y'all whoever winning.
No, but the Jets did.
They looked good last night.
They beat the Bills 34-12.
I've been in New York long enough to know this.
If New York is losing and the Jets winning, they'll ride with the Jets.
But if the New York Giants are winning and the Jets the Jets win, they'll ride with the Jets. But if the New York Knicks, I mean, New York Giants
are winning and the Jets are doing pretty good,
they'll go with the Giants. The Jets
are the little Trump card. No, I'm a Giants
fan, but you always want New York to win regardless.
Which Jets player are you dating now, Envy? Shut up.
Let's talk about Trump.
Alright, well, yesterday, Donald
Trump's Twitter account disappeared
for a little while. If you tried to look at real
Donald Trump, it said, sorry, that page doesn't exist.
Now, what happened was not just a glitch.
What happened was it was somebody's last day at Twitter,
and they went ahead and basically deleted his account.
Dropping a clue bomb for that person.
One was right for a miracle.
Sometimes you have to be a vigilante and take things in your own hands.
Yeah, so they are still investigating what happened with that, I guess, former Twitter employee.
They said it was a Twitter customer support employee who did this on the employee's last day.
They're conducting a full internal review.
Do all the internal reviews you want.
The universe will bless that young man for doing the right thing, okay?
At least he attempted to do the right thing.
Right.
His plan was thwarted.
Has anybody up here ever used the Grindr app?
No.
What is Grindr?
Is that the dating app?
Yes, it's a dating app.
You don't know what Grindr is?
I don't know what Grindr is.
You just said it was a dating app.
It's just what it says it is.
I didn't know what it was.
You talk about it, but go ahead.
You do know what it is, but anyway.
A former Grindr employee is now suing the gay dating service.
Now, according to him, he's saying...
It's a gay dating service?
Oh, yo, now you want to play cool with me?
I swear I didn't know what Grindr was.
All right.
I swear on everything.
Go ahead.
You just happened to know it was a dating service.
I thought it was like Tinder.
I didn't know what it was, but hey.
Your Snapchat DMs look a lot like Grindr.
You better say allegedly.
Allegedly.
There you go.
Now, according to a former employee at Grindr, he's saying that the human resources supervisor
slid him a drug at the company's Christmas party last year
and then anally raped him.
So now he is saying that Daniel Cabanero
is the one who drugged him, put him in a car,
and took him to a hotel room where he anally penetrated him.
He said he woke up, and Cabanero was holding him down
on the bed in the middle of the sex act.
He said he lost consciousness again,
and when he regained it,
he immediately went to the ER, and that's when he was subjected to a highly invasive and humiliating rape examination.
This is so sad because this young man will not be taken seriously
because of the double standards.
They are definitely taking him seriously.
Tell me what they're doing.
What are they doing?
Well, he went to law enforcement.
They're doing an investigation, which is ongoing right now.
They got to do a rape kit and all that.
Man, go get him.
Go lock him up.
Let him get ruined just like everybody else gets ruined.
Is he out of double standard?
He has to double standard now.
Why is it an investigation when a man doesn't tell a man?
It's always an investigation.
When a woman accuses a man, they investigate?
They got to investigate too.
Yes, absolutely.
How long did it take Nelly's investigation?
Six hours before they locked him up?
I'm sure they're going to lock him up.
He was released right away, and he was never charged with anything.
Man, listen.
But according to...
I want the same energy.
According to this John Doe, he says the company encouraged sexually explicit language,
sexual innuendos, and sexual misconduct as well.
All right.
Well, that is front page news.
Wow, Yee.

You know, that battle rap movie.
Of course it's coming out in America.
It's an American-produced movie.
I know, but they're saying they had it with an opening in Canada or whatnot.
Oh, no, no, no.
That's the film festival, the Toronto Film Festival in Canada.
That's just a festival they do in Canada, but it's definitely coming out in America.
Oh, you know when it's coming out?
I have no idea, but it'll be out in 2018. I Oh, you know when it's coming out? I have no idea,
but it'll be out in 2018.

Probably first quarter
of 2018.

Appreciate it.
Y'all have a good one.
Yes, sir.
Hello, who's this?
This is 18 from Harlem.
Hey, what's up, bro?
Get it off your chest.
What's going on?
Um, yeah.
Yeah, yo.
Like, my girlfriend,
she went into my phone
and seen a text
from a girl
from there. I used to mess with her a long time ago, but the thing is, I wasn't texting her. Her girlfriend messed with my son, My girlfriend, she went into my phone and seen a text from a girl.
I used to mess with her a long time ago.
But the thing is, I wasn't texting her.
Her girlfriend messed with my son.
So her phone died and she was texting me.
This sounds like a fake story.
You can tell us the truth.
Yeah, that's the truth.
So now she mad at me because these texts are from two weeks ago.
And now we on the house.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I don't even believe you, sir.
Yeah, you sound fake, bro.
But the thing about a lie, stick to it, regardless of who says otherwise.
Yeah, we're rocking with you.
That's the last thing you should do.
Yeah, it sounds like you're going too hard. Do not put another girl on the phone vouching for you.
Yeah, it's more bad for you, bro.
Even if you get the other girl to lie for you.
What about her? It's more bad for you, bro. Even if you get that, the girl will lie for you. I mean, but what about my girlfriend? I mean, my son's girlfriend?
What about her?
What if I get her to re-verify that it was me texting her about my son?
That ain't going to work.
She ain't going to believe it anyway.
Well, then, yeah, I'm just done off, dude. You think about it.
If the rules were reversed and you were in her situation, what would you think?
I mean, I love her that much to give her the benefit of the doubt.
There you go.
That's all a man wants.
I understand that.
That's all you really want is the benefit.
Good luck, bro.
But if you can't get the benefit of the doubt, just take the L.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Let's go.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're man or flesh.
Say it with your chest.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
So if you got something on your mind, let it out.
Hello, who's this?
My name is Shakara.
Hey, get it off your chest, mama.
Um, okay.
Well, basically, I've been dealing with this guy for a while.
And we started to live together.
And a little while we lived together, we got into an altercation.
And I was kind of the
reason why he got kicked out. So I've been giving him a place to stay. But lately he's been basically
acting like I don't exist and we're not together and all that. So I'm just basically over it. And
I just want him to move on and I want to move on and just live our separate lives. So last night,
I just basically let him know, hey, I think it's best for you to leave because if we're not going to fix things and if we're not going to get any better, it doesn't make sense for us to live together.
That's when he decides that he wants to tell me I'm his and that he's not going anywhere.
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm stuck with him forever.
So I need to find a way to get him out.
But I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I'm going to need to, like, I'm going to need him to leave.
Are both your names on the lease?
No, it's just mine.
So he doesn't even really have a right to be there.
And I don't want to escalate it to the point of having to call the police.
But at the same time, it's like you wanted to act like we weren't together all this time.
And now that I'm done and you really see that I'm serious about being done
and I want you to leave.
And you need a place to stay.
Exactly.
So I don't know where he's going to stay or how he's going to figure that out,
but I'm not just somebody that he can keep using,
and he thinks that's how things work, and he doesn't.
When is your lease over?
I actually just recently moved in last month, so it's not over for a while.
It's a 12-month lease.
Oh, yeah, he got to go.
Listen, if he doesn't go willingly, then you got to do what you got to do.
All right, Mama, good luck.
Thank you. All right, get. Good luck. Thank you.
All right.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up at any time.
Now, Yee, we got rumors on the way?
Well, since we were talking about Kevin Spacey, let's give you an update on what's going on with him.
Now, a lot of people have come forward that worked on House of Cards and will tell you what they had to say about a toxic work environment.
Okay. We'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. that worked on House of Cards and will tell you what they had to say about a toxic work environment.

We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Well, yeah, we're going to be doing the Radiothon tomorrow for Codes for Kids. Now, for people who want to donate codes, give them some information. Well, yeah, we're going to be doing the Radiothon tomorrow for Codes for Kids.
So we're on out here on 98WJLB in Detroit.
Oh, there's no specific place to drop off codes?
You can come by the event tomorrow.
You want to tell them where the event is or you don't know yet?
Hold on.
I do know.
I didn't know you were going to do that just now.
I thought you knew.
You were talking about it all morning.
All right. It is at the Coats for Kids meet and greet, which is taking place at, hold on.
Oh, boy.
I know.
You gave me a little heads up.
Y'all can do rumors.
The place is called Adam's Butt Cell Complex.
Butt Cell?
Adam's Butt Cell?
Why is Adam selling butt?
I don't know.
Butt Zell.
Butt Zell. Oh, Butt Zell. It's from 10 a. know. Butt-zel. Butt-zel.
Oh, butt-zel.
It's from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., so we're out here in Detroit tomorrow.
All right, well, let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Kevin Spacey.
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.
Yes, so eight people have come forward from Netflix's House of Cards,
and they said that Kevin Spacey made the set a toxic work environment
with a pattern of sexual harassment.
Now, one former employee said that Kevin Spacey actually sexually assaulted him.
And this is all after we told you about Anthony Rapp,
an actor that said Kevin Spacey made sexual advances toward him back in 1985
when he was only 14 years old.
And Kevin Spacey did release an apology on Monday, if you guys remember that,
where he said he doesn't remember that happening,
but if it did, he is sorry for whatever his actions were.
Now, according to a production assistant from House of Cards,
he said what happened was he was sent to go to Kevin Spacey in a car.
He said he was driving, and that's when Kevin Spacey put his hands down his pants.
He said the touching was nonconsensual.
I was in a state of shock.
He was a man in a very powerful position on the show,
and I was someone very low on the totem pole and on the food chain there.
Now he said that he did not say anything.
He thought that it would, you know, actually harm his career.
He said, I told him I'm not okay
with this. I don't think I'm comfortable with this.
And that's when Kevin Spacey was visibly
flustered, went into his trailer, got in his
car, and left for the remainder of the day.
So he also did not report this
incident to anybody there. How do you
investigate that when people make those allegations, though?
Because the show has already been canceled, so clearly
Netflix has already reacted to it. So how
do you investigate those allegations?
Because they are just allegations until even otherwise, right?
I guess a lot of people have come forward.
A lot of people said they didn't complain.
They were afraid of losing their jobs.
A former female production assistant who worked on several seasons said she witnessed his sexual misconduct with crew members on set.
She said it was very known that Kevin was inappropriate.
And males I worked with complained to me about how they felt uncomfortable.
Kevin does this thing, which was play fight with them in order to touch them.
She said she saw him approach multiple people to say hello, greet them, shake their hand, pull their hand down to his crotch and touch their crotch.
Friends say that he reached up their shorts on set.
Friendly games of grab ass.
That's disgusting.
I know how that goes down.
She said there was one instance when a grip bent over to pick something up and
his ass crack was showing and Kevin Spacey made
a sexual comment about it. Like
nice ass or something like that. But once again
I understand all of that. I just want to know
how do you investigate that when people make those allegations?
Well you can't. I don't think you can investigate
it's your word versus their word you know.
Well you can and I think that if there's like enough people
on set coming forward. That's dangerous though
man. It is dangerous. That is very dangerous.
People can come together and just say things sometimes.
And I'm not saying that that happened in this situation, but that's a very dangerous game we're playing.
Right.
In 2017.
All right.
Now, Corey Feltman, in the meantime, was on Dr. Oz yesterday.
And he did name an actor who actually sexually abused him as well.
Here's what he had to say.
Because, you know, he's made these allegations for some time, wrote a book and everything, but didn't name names.
But now he's named one person.
Here's what he said.
It's the guy.
John Grissom.
Yeah.
Where in Mexico is he?
We can find out because I found him through Facebook.
How do you know which one?
You just went through and you found them.
This guy on his MySpace page and his Facebook page has got pictures of me and Corey Haim.
You're kidding.
No, he still taunts it, flaunts it.
Who is John Grissom?
What was he in?
He was an actor.
He was in License to Drive, which is a movie that Corey Feldman was in also,
and Dream a Little Dream, which he was in as well, those two movies.
Now, Dr. Oz did say that his legal team uncovered that Grissom has an extensive record
and actually went to jail for child molestation.
I'm looking at this guy's picture.
I've never seen this dude a day in my life.
He's probably about to die. You've probably never seen those movies.
I don't think he was like a big actor.
Yeah, I've never seen him.
But he happened to be in those two movies with him.
Never heard of him.
All right, now let's talk about Tyrese for a second.
Now, Michael Blackson had posted this video,
you know, making fun of Tyrese as everybody has been doing.
Here's what he said.
Okay, Tyrese, after watching your video about ten times, me and a few other dark-skinned niggas have decided to trade you.
You are no longer considered dark-skinned.
You just are really red-boned yesterday.
Spoke to Akon, Don Cheadeto, Gucci Man, and Wesley Snipes,
and we are trading you for Drake and Steph Curry.
Good luck with your court case.
I prayed for Tyrese this morning.
Now, Tyrese responded on Baller Alert.
He said, I've seen all the posts.
I've seen all the folks trying to just get on the train.
Michael, to be honest, you're funny.
I needed this. And when you're fighting for your baby, to be honest, you're funny. I needed this.
And when you're fighting for your baby, all you want to do is laugh.
I'm not mad at nobody.
I have compassion, love.
I just know that irregardless, you guys are all still going home to your daughters and sons, and I'm not.
So get it out of your system.
Pile up and make me a paper of your monologue and IG hits.
I'll get back to you. I'll soon be on Instagram with my daughter asleep on my chest.
God is the greatest.
I'm praying for you guys. I hope you do the same for me.
Yo, I don't have no problems with Tyrese going hard
for his daughter, but I don't feel sorry for him at
all when it comes to him complaining
about being broke, complaining about not being able to pay
his legal fees. It's nobody's fault you messed your money
up but your own. Like yesterday, he was like, oh, I
got 300 millionaires and 72 billionaires
on my phone and none of them reached out to help. Negro,
please. You're a grown-ass man who's been doing music
movies and TV shows forever. You messed up
your money. That's your problem. I don't feel sorry for you when it comes
to that. Well, I hope his money isn't messed up.
He's the one saying it. Yeah, he did say it is.
I just hope that he's just spending a lot
of it fighting his case. It shouldn't be messed up.
When it comes to his kids, he can cry all he wants.
I understand him going hard. Go.
I got two daughters myself. I don't got no problem with that.
But all of that crying,
The Rock messed up your money,
and nobody's helping you leak with money.
It's just time to get back to work, okay?
That's right.
Get your ass to work.
Get your black ass to work, Jody.
That's what you need to be doing.
All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your...
Open up the Benihana's for public consumption.
He's not going to do that.
Open it up for lunch.
No, he can't do that.
All right.
Poor face.
No, all right.
Up next, we have Tamika Mallory and Maison in the building.
We'll kick it with them when we come back.
If you don't know, she was recently kicked off an American Airlines flight for no reason.
And we'll talk about it.
It's the Breakfast Locum on it.
DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

What's up, guys?
Peace, peace.
Now, what are we fighting today?
We're always fighting injustice.
Always fighting.
You know, a lot of people are aware of the drama that's been going on with American Airlines.
A couple weeks ago, October 16th or 15th, on a Sunday, we were coming back from the
Revolt Music Conference, actually, and there was a ticket issue with my ticket.
I printed out a ticket that had one seat on it
and got to the gate, and the seat was changed.
I encountered a ticket gate agent person
who was extremely nasty, very, very rude and dismissive of me,
and I asked for her name at the very end of a conversation
that she and I were going through
of me saying,
what's your name?
You know, people don't like
when you ask for names
and badge numbers.
The pilot walked out.
And in full disclosure,
this was a black woman
that I was having
this nasty encounter with.
We weren't cursing
or yelling at each other,
but you could tell
we weren't happy
with one another.
And so the white pilot
walks out and he sees what's going on at the very end of the conversation. I walk away from her.
She tells me, yeah, well, you could write it down, write a report. And I'm like, absolutely.
So I go get on the plane. I get scanned in. I'm going down the jet bridge. And the pilot comes
down behind me and asks everybody that was on the jet bridge, about four or five people to go back.
So he basically isolates me on the jet bridge by myself.
First thing he says to me is respect is a two way street.
And she told you that she didn't have anything to do with your ticket issue.
So what's your problem?
So I look at him and I'm like, actually, I don't have a problem.
I said, but I find it very unreasonable
that you're coming up to me
telling me about respect,
but you haven't asked me what happened.
So you don't know what my experience has been.
You don't know anything.
He says, I don't have to ask you.
And I could tell at that point
he was super aggressive.
You know, I don't have to ask you anything.
He felt he had the power.
He had the power.
She told me already
what happened. And
I don't, somehow he says to me, now look,
I have a hundred and either
60 or 66 people that I
need to get to New York. And I need to know
if you're going to be able to get on this plane
and behave. Behave?
Like he's your child. Asked me was I going to be able
to behave. He said, can you, you know, are you going to be a
problem in this fight? Can you control yourself?
So I look at him.
He motions at me to say it to the lady, you know, who's standing there.
And I look at her and I say, ma'am, we don't have a problem at all.
I said, I'm going to behave.
Everything is going to be fine with no issue.
And so you would think that's what he asked me.
I answered.
No problem.
He then says, yeah, well, because, you know, if you really have a's what he asked me. I answered. No problem. He then says, yeah,
well, because, you know, if you really have a problem, you need to write it down. And I'm like,
don't worry, sir. I'm going to write down this entire experience, which is what probably triggered
him, because I'm like, you don't have to worry about that. I got you. I'll write it all down.
I go to walk away and I hear him. I kind of look back and he says, going to get yourself a
one-way ticket off of this flight.
So he's still looking for a reaction.
I don't give him anything, yo.
Like nothing. I just, I'm like, okay, cool
sir. No problem. Go to my seat.
I sit down. I'm in my seat for at least
10 minutes. I'm sitting next to my, now
the whole point is I left the middle
seat next to him and took the
aisle seat that was available. I'm a platinum customer. You're supposed to be able to move around. The ticket was is I left the middle seat next to him and took the aisle seat that was available.
I'm a platinum customer.
You're supposed to be able to move around.
The ticket was printed out with the aisle seat in another row.
So it's not like I went to the gate bugging.
Like, I need, you know, none of that.
So 10 minutes or so goes by.
And then they start calling my name from the loudspeaker on the flight.
Tamika Mallory, twice, would you come to the front of the plane?
I go. I walk up to the front. I got my little book bag. I walked up. My son comes with me just to stand by basically and see like what's going on. I get up there and the lady tells me to
basically get off the plane. So I'm like, ma'am, am I being ejected from this flight?
And so she looks at me. She says, yes, the pilot has asked that you be you know ejected
and i was like so let me just be clear i'm being thrown off this flight i didn't do anything wrong
and i'm just checking i'm being thrown and he said he said yeah her out of here off and i said
really okay so then i commenced to cussing him it's hard like finding the words that i could
every cuss word that i couldn't no because. Oh, you ain't woosah first.
I couldn't woosah.
No, because I had done that already.
I've been through the disrespect of the ticket lady.
And you were trying to get back because your friend was getting married.
My friend was getting married.
And basically, this man who had the power in that situation, he didn't like me for whatever reason.
And he decided that he was going to use his power against me.
And it's straight up discrimination.
That's the bottom line.
The worst part about it is that I'm standing,
my son is standing there absolutely saying nothing.
When the cops came to get us off,
the pilot looks at him and tells them,
yeah, him, get him out of here too.
So he gets thrown off the flight.
Meanwhile, a white man, a nice white man,
stands up on the flight in the first class. And he's like, excuse me, listen, my wife is off the flight. Meanwhile, a white man, a nice white man, stands up on the flight in the first class.
And he's like, excuse me, listen, my wife is in the back.
I'll go to the back with her.
You can let her sit in my seat.
So he got involved.
He didn't get thrown off the flight.
It's just the two of us.
The two black people and the black man who did nothing wrong.
So long story short, now I'm pissed.
And I done tweeted and everything else. And they find people in the airport.
Supervisors come.
They're trying to get the situation worked out.
It took six hours for us to get rebooked on another flight.
And in the midst of all of that, like the next day, news stories start coming out with other people who are telling their stories.
I had already heard about some stuff that happened with a couple other people that y'all know.
Simone Sanders from CNN.
Yep, Joe Takey, Edie. A couple people
but then, I guess
like two days later, I see a story in
the newspaper about this young lady who was with us.
Breonna Williams.
She also, well she can tell
her own story, but she talks about
basically a pilot throwing her off the plane
with her four month old baby and they ended up
sleeping in the airport overnight.
Wow.
So that was the next story.
And then all of a sudden, my emails and everything began to be flooded
with people, particularly women of color and black women,
who were talking about being thrown off of flights because of aggression
by flight attendants and pilots.
And it's for little things that you cannot call threatening.
All flights are just specifically American Airlines?
A lot.
So the Department of Transportation,
not Tamika Mallory, not my son, not Breonna,
the Department of Transportation
has said that American Airlines
has the worst record in terms of racial discrimination complaints.
That's the Department of Transportation.
And so the Legal Defense Fund
has given them a list
of recommendations of things that they can
do to try to get better.
Alright, we got more with Tamika Mallory and
my son. When we come back, keep it locked. It's the Breakfast
Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody. It's
DJ Envy Angela Yee.
Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
We have Tamika Mallory and my son in the building.
Charlamagne?
What's the reasoning they give you?
Do they have to give you a legit reason to kick you off the plane,
or they can just say, hey, you got to go?
We had a meeting.
And what they basically said is that—
You had a meeting with the CEO.
We had a meeting with the CEO and the president, the vice president.
And basically what they said is that a pilot has absolute power.
He can just decide for whatever reason— doesn't want you either he doesn't want
you on the flight so I said how does how does that protect anybody citizen a
person who paid for the ticket against discrimination now I understand I
understand a pilot having power to kick people off if need be exactly I said
what is the criteria what is the steps exactly. I said, what is the criteria for? What is the steps?
Exactly.
They don't have no criteria.
And I said, you know, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
You can't give anyone absolute power over anything.
So, you know, that's one thing.
And, you know, back to what she said, like, I was really just standing there because, you know,
I'm from communities that understand how it's always dangerous for
a black man to get involved in anything.
And I didn't even really understand what happened because when I walked up, I just seen her,
when she got up, she said she sucked her teeth.
And I'm like, what happened?
And she's not saying nothing to me.
So let me just walk behind her to see what's going on.
So when I get there and I see this, you know, the lady at the jet bridge and the pilot
standing off the plane, and all I see is him say, yeah, here, off the plane.
And then she's like, what?
She's confused and then she starts crying
and then that's when she starts cursing.
So I'm standing there and I'm looking
and I'm like, what is going on here?
Like, what's going on?
Like, sir, what's happening?
Nobody's saying anything.
And then by the time she was so frustrated,
he just walked off to get the police
and I'm just standing there.
What do the American Airlines do to fix this?
What are they going to do, if anything?
So, I mean, well, you know, the work that we do, they can't just fix it by giving me something.
Right now, I need to understand the policies and procedures because I need to make sure people like Rihanna.
So they didn't really offer me a check.
I'm not even going to say that.
They said, you know, let's try to have a conversation about how we can fix this.
The CEO apologized to both of us directly.
He came to the meeting himself,
which was important.
Right.
But they didn't really say,
let me give you a check.
Because from day one,
our thing was,
we got to look at the policies and procedures.
We have to understand
how is this happening to people.
And once we started getting calls from all over,
we realized it wasn't just us. So we can't go in the room and cut a deal on the backs of
people who will be going through this from you know how are we going to stop this from happening
yeah because they only responded to you because you have a voice you had to make a lot of noise
on social media because exactly and that's that's that's true because diddy that same night posted
that something happened to tamameka Mallory you know
leaving my conference I don't know what it is but I know her and I know that something ain't right
here and then once he got the details he started to escalate his language and it's you know really
explaining to people that it's clear that this is discrimination right and they still for 36 48
hours had not called me so he started running a campaign like it's now been 36 hours
and we haven't heard. When is somebody gonna call?
And eventually he called
the CEO himself to be like, yo,
yeah, homie, like what are you doing?
He's like, I'm trying to help you.
You're not even returning this lady's phone
call. So finally they started to call.
But the crazy thing is
that it was because there was so much
attention being put on me. They called,
but he was standing there. They never called him at all.
So again,
the silent victim. Right, absolutely.
You know, people not, so I know that I have to
leverage the fact that, hey,
I have the voice that I
could get on shows and people are tweeting
about me and use that as an opportunity
to figure out what happens when my son
gets thrown off the plane or Brianna gets thrown off
the plane and nobody knows because she had gone
through this. She can tell her own story. What's your story, Brianna?
What happened? So, yeah, I
was flying from Atlanta to New York
and we were stuck. Into the mic, Brianna.
Oh, sorry. Yeah. So I was flying
from Atlanta to New York and we were stuck on
the tarmac for three hours
before they were like, okay, you guys
can go ahead and get off of the
plane for a little while. However, if you do decide to leave, then you might be off for the next three
hours. But if you stay on, then we'll give you an update about your flight status within the next
30 minutes. So I had three bags along with my four month old daughter. And so I decided not to get
off and it was fine. The crew member came over and was like, Hey, are you going to go? If so,
we'll go grab your stroller. If not, you can stay here. And I was like, you know, I'm going to stay here. It was fine. And so when
everyone reboarded 30 minutes later, we still hadn't taken off. Two hours passed. So a total
of five hours we were stuck on that runway. We still hadn't taken off. And I was tortured with
a four month old too. Yeah, exactly. And it's 10 o'clock at this point. We boarded at 4.55.
She's asleep and you don't want to wake up a sleeping former.
Oh, no.
No.
Yeah.
So then after five hours, the pilot announces that everyone is mandated to disembark because
they wanted to do a headcount due to the cancellations and such and the rebookings.
And that was fine.
So I found that same crew member and I said, hey, can I please have my stroller?
I'm getting ready to disembark and I have all of my stuff because everyone was taking
all of their things.
And she says, OK, but then she leaves and comes back and she says, OK, well, we can't bring
in your stroller. And I said, OK, well, why? And she says, well, I don't know. And so I say, OK,
well, I'm unable physically really to leave this aircraft without my stroller. And she says, well,
we can't get it. I'm sorry. And I say, OK, well, I can't leave the aircraft. And then she says,
OK, well, we're going to go and get the pilot. And at that point, I'm thinking that the pilot is going to come over and ameliorate the situation
or at least investigate as to why I'm not able to get my stroller.
And he comes over there and he looks at me and he says, if you don't get off of my aircraft,
then when everyone reboards, you're not getting back on.
And I say, OK, oh, well, can I have my stroller? I'm glad to leave.
And he says, OK, well, you know, I'm just going to get law enforcement. And at that point I'm just like, what? Yeah. I was like,
and mind you, I hadn't raised, I hadn't raised my voice above a whisper. And I was just, because my
daughter was sleeping in my arms. And really, if you think about it, I have a four month old
daughter. You can't just like throw her on your hip and like grab your things. Like you have to
hold her with your arms, especially if she's sleeping. And so at this point, I'm just exasperated.
Another passenger, a black lady,
she steps in and she's like,
hey, you can't talk to her like that.
She's like not doing anything wrong.
She has her baby.
Like they've been quiet for five hours.
You can't do that.
And he points in her face and he says,
oh, you want to talk back to me?
You want to get arrested?
Get off of my flight or you're next.
So she gets off just looking embarrassed.
And then the police come and they
ask me what's going on i say okay well i just wanted my stroller and there was a brief exchange
the pilot runs over and he tells the officers that i'm a threat to him that i'm belligerent
and that i have to get off of his aircraft and i can't get back on and they say okay well where's
the stroller and they went and talked to the gate manager and the gate manager was like oh the crew
member never even asked me for the stroller of course I'll grab it now so she ran and grabbed the stroller I get off
and I go and talk to the ticket lady who then was talking to the pilot who told her that I had like
taken someone's seat or something weird like that and she came and told me well we need to check
your identification and such and when I brought her my identification she told me that I was not
getting back on that flight because it's to the pilot's discretion who was allowed to board. And then I was mandated to sleep in the airport that
night because the next flight was at 7 a.m. Exactly. Did they give you a free voucher or
something? Well, the thing is, I don't have a platform and I have social media like Instagram,
but I don't have anything. I don't even have a Twitter. However, I'm a student at Harvard Law.
I'm actually on my last year of law. See what I'm saying? And exactly. And so I
I'm the communications director for the Black Law Students Association. So I have access to their
Twitter. And so I tweeted from them. Oh, Harvard Law Students gets kicked off
a flight. Black Harvard Law Student. And they messaged me right away. American Airlines.
Exactly. They called me and they said that they wanted
well, it wasn't actually right away. It was like the next day.
But they called me and they asked me if I can take twenty five thousand air miles and a two hundred dollar hotel voucher because of their service failure.
Because clearly their behavior deviated from standard.
They were grossly negligent in my dealings. And I said, well, that's not going to work.
Wow. We got more with Tamika Mallory and my song don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's DJ Envy
Angela Yee Charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club we have Tamika Mallory and my son in the
building Charlamagne so after meeting with the CEO and the vice president like like where do we go
from here because I know the NAACP had a travel advisory. Right, so before that, so we went to the NAACP
and explained to them what was going on,
and one of their board members had been thrown off of a flight,
and a couple other people who they know,
as well as other situations that they were aware of,
so they decided to issue the travel advisory.
Once they did, the CEO got more involved in what was going on.
So now we've been able to go and sit down and meet with them.
And you know what?
The CEO, I have to say, he came to the meeting.
He was extremely sincere that there are some issues that need to be corrected and we're ready to work on them.
And, you know, talked about how we continue to work together.
But implementation is what is really all about, right?
Because that conversation, that meeting, has not stopped one person probably
from being discriminated against
or thrown off of a flight, humiliated,
and all the other things.
So we have to stay at the table
so long as we see that there is progress happening.
And the NAACP has not lifted their travel advisory yet
because we haven't seen that.
Because, you know, you can be all sincere and hear,
like, yeah, we're going to do better.
And then you turn it over to your staff
and how it actually gets implemented is where the real work is.
Somebody has to get in trouble.
A pilot has to get suspended.
Somebody has to lose their job for people to understand really what's going on.
So there's a problem with that.
So you know me.
I always take the path of most resistance.
Like I can't be the person that just accepts that somebody tells me there's nothing we can do about a pilot disrespecting people.
Here's the problem.
What I realize is when you look at the numbers, pilots, that is an industry that is largely male,
probably overwhelmingly male and white.
Absolutely.
So when you give white men arbitrary decision-making power over people,
and particularly people of color
who we understand the historical issues around that,
you have to have some mechanisms in place
to make sure that people are being checked,
that there's accountability there,
because you can't just give.
We know what happens with that kind of power.
Same problem with the police.
Exactly.
So you hate to liken pilots to police,
but they have power to make
decisions with agency over one's body. And so now I got to understand the rules with the pilots.
The airline is not really responsible for that because even when the airline institutes all of
their policy changes and they decide they want to do all these trainings and all the things,
whatever they end up doing, it's still pilots are not always subjected to the same things that their other employees are subjected to.
They have no obligation to go through the training.
They're subject to the FAA.
It's a federal regulation that says if a pilot sees that a passenger is maybe even the least bit threatening,
then they have the discretion at that point to eject the passenger for the safety of the other passengers.
However, again, if we're talking about non-safety concerns, which are being disputed, like Tamika, which is the seat, and Mines, which is being a stroller,
then the pilots at that point are using this rhetoric in order to advance a very discriminatory and oppressive type of mechanism,
which is, OK, we're going to just get these people off of our plane and use this FAA regulation as a shield at that point.
So they're subverting the law in order to cover up their biases.
Dude, that's Harvard right there.
You heard it?
From Harvard.
I feel like pilots need to have to file a police,
not a police report, but a sometime report.
They have to say why they kicked this person off the plane.
Well, they do, but they can say it for any reason,
the person being threatened or being belittled.
Exactly.
It's just a word.
That's the problem.
That's the same thing that police do, right?
They just say, oh, I felt afraid, you know, and then there it goes.
So now we have to get to the bottom of that.
So the question is, what do we do?
You can't go spending your money places where you know your people are not being respected.
Absolutely.
That, it always comes down to that.
But the difficult part about that is this is all pilots in every airline.
It is.
But what we have to see, our issue is that we do try to bite the whole apple at once and eat it.
We got to take little pieces.
So now we know that there is a specific issue with American Airlines.
And while it is being worked on, they understand that people, that there is an advisory against them.
And people have the right to choose another airline until they are able to verify that there's been significant changes.
So while it's holiday season now, you need to be on whatever else.
If that's what you choose to do.
Are we encouraging people?
I'm not encouraging people to boycott anything because I think you have to be careful when you say that.
I'm encouraging people to understand what has happened and make a decision that they think is best for all of us as a community.
Travel advisory.
You're making people aware that discrimination has happened on this airline.
Exactly.
Discrimination is prolific on this particular airline.
There's a pattern.
But at the end of the day, we need to be conscious of that.
And I think that that will encourage American Airlines to become a leader in the industry because that's what we talk to them about.
This is an opportunity for you to become a leader in the industry so that Delta and everybody else gets a message that we can't just go along to get along.
You know, business as usual.
We've got a serious problem. I also think that when we come forth with our ideas about what we need to do to challenge the policies for pilots, which is outside of the airline industry, then people have to also be involved in those conversations.
We appreciate you guys for joining us.
Thank you for coming.
Now, hold on.
I want to talk to Mike.
I want to ask Mike something real quick.
Okay.
Now, we had a big debate here.
About what?
On The Breakfast Club about your Cypherverse.
Yes, sir.
And Eminem's Cypherverse.
Yes, sir.
I personally feel like Eminem's Cypherverse is overrated and yours is underherverse Yes sir I personally feel like Eminem Cypherverse
Was overrated
And yours was underrated
Do you have an opinion
As an MC
I feel mine was underrated
I don't know if I feel
His was overrated
Because I'm an Eminem fan
And I just think
He did utilize his platform
And he said something
That was needed
You know and this time
We definitely need
White allies
To come to our aid
And utilize their voices
To remember what it is that we're saying.
So, you know, I'm an M fan.
Just being compared to M to me was like, you know, it was phenomenal.
I agree with his messaging.
I'm just talking about just the bars.
I mean, I always think I'm the best rapper in the world.
So, you know, if you ask me, I'm always saying my bars is better.
But that was Eminem.
Like, to be compared to Eminem was like, this is Marshall.
You know what I'm saying?
So it was dope, man.
Just being on that platform and people reacting and actually getting what I wanted them to get from it.
And then having him do that at the same time.
So, you know, the message was clear that we was trying to do something that was positive and it was uplifting.
I feel like you're having a breakthrough, man.
Like, something is really about to happen for Mice.
God willing, man. You know, like, I did it the harder way. Like, like something is really about to happen for Mike. God willing, man. You know, like I did it the harder way. Like, like,
you know what I'm saying?
So I've been through it and grinded and, you know,
just been honest with myself and been authentic. You know,
you know me from day one,
I've been the same person and just been the same message, just authenticity,
man. I think we in a position now, when you look at Cardi B,
it's about authentic. People just want to appeal.
They want to be around something
that's authentic. That's always been what I've been.
God willing, it's just
a matter of time.
There you have it. It's my son, Tameka Mallory.
Brianna, thank y'all for joining us.

And if you're listening to us, you can actually text in your donation.
Text your number if you know what I'm saying.
Okay.
All right.
Well, speaking of text your number, we got to talk about Fetty Wap.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela
Yee.
On Breakfast Club.
Well, TMZ just
broke this news. Fetty Wap got arrested
for drunk driving. Cops saw him
erasing another driver. They said he was
going over 100 miles per hour
in a 50 mile per hour zone. This was
in New York City just after 1 a.m.
I don't even know if Fetty Watt passed the vision test on the driver's exam, to be honest with you.
Don't he got one eye?
They said he failed the failed sobriety test and then he blew a little bit above the legal limit.
That's not fair.
He was arrested for 15 charges, including reckless endangerment, drag racing, DUI, driving without a valid license,
unsafe lane changing, aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle,
following too close, and speeding.
So he's in jail, but they said he'll bail out pretty soon.
Isn't one of the drunk tests when you gotta
cover one eye and then read something?
Yes. Now you can't do that with Fetty Wap. He'd look
drunk. Just trying to do that.
What if you cover the eye that's not messed up?
It's to shut up. Shut up!
Alright. Now Al
Reynolds, you know him from having been married and then divorced to Star Jones,
has come out and gone public about his sexuality.
He said he's bisexual.
Who didn't know I was bisexual?
I know.
Actually, I thought he was been gay like the ointment.
Well, anyway, he did an exclusive interview with Radar Online, and he said, you know,
ever since I've been in the public eye, people have been speculating on my sexuality.
And speculating is a kind word for how it actually played out with anger and disdain.
People have been calling me out as gay, closeted, a sham, and even nastier, much nastier.
So he said he's come to a point in his life where he's ready to discuss his truth.
He wasn't ready to do it then.
He wasn't ready to think about it let alone process it.
I had no idea he was in the closet. I thought he was
wide open with it. He said
I'm the youngest of six children in a southern
Baptist family. We grew up in a three bedroom
mobile home. He said we were deeply
religious. When we weren't in church we were in
school or an after school activity.
My life was filled with vacation
Bible school, missionary meetings, Sunday school
choir practice and youth ministry.
So he said, as a black man, the message that hate and homophobia were multiplied to the nth degree.
All of the gay people in the church?
Coming out as openly bisexual.
He said, today I accept myself as a bisexual man.
I've learned that sexual orientation is not binary.
At least for me, I'm capable of loving both sexes, and I have done both.
Oh, God bless you all.
Be free.
Be free, big Al.
Be free.
All right.
Nicki Minaj's mom has testified in court yesterday,
and that is for her son, Jelani Mirage.
Now, she said that her son's ex-wife
tried to shake the family down for millions
over accusations that he raped his stepdaughter.
Carol Mirage said she told her,
Jacqueline Robinson, who's the mom,
told her it's going to take millions to get out of this one.
So she admitted that she did continue to text with Jacqueline Robinson
even after the alleged extortion attempt
and never asked further about that whole shakedown.
She said, my mind went on having my son comfortable.
That's the only thing that sounds crazy about this whole case.
Like, if your daughter was sexually assaulted, you don't care about no money.
You don't want no money. I don't want no millions
or two million or three million. I want that person
in jail so they never do it again. I never
have an opportunity to do it to another child.
That's the only thing that sounds kind of fishy. If you come asking
me for money, then it seems like this could all be
a sham. It seems like it. Yeah.
Right. It's hard to say right now
because, you know, they're on their side.
They're saying that she coached the kids to make these allegations up.
But then if something happened to these kids, you don't want that man free.
Right.
That is correct.
We don't know.
I want him castrated, actually.
All right.
Fajah Parks, does she have a new boyfriend?
She posted a picture with Shamar Moore.
And she said the look on Bayface when you tell him tonight is your night because he has a new show.
SWAT CBS premieres on CBS and she wanted everybody to watch.
Well, does Shamar Moore
cop to dating Phaedra Parks?
Here's what he had to say on Entertainment Tonight.
No rings, there were no rings.
Here's the deal. I'm excited for it.
I do meet my partner in crime, my boo thing.
And then we click
and then we make a little
Shamarsky or whatever we don't call it.
Shamarsky. But yeah yeah I'm anxious for that
next chapter of my life
as well
I'd be so confused
about what's going on
in the world
I don't be paying attention
cause I thought
Fajra was claiming him
posting pictures with him
and then he's saying
he hasn't met that woman yet
Fajra is from
Love and Hip Hop
no she's from
Real Housewives of Atlanta
Real Housewives
and now she's dating
Shemar Moore
no he said he's not
I'm confused
I thought Shemar Moore
was gay
so I'm confused.
Why?
I don't know.
I just always thought that.
You just made that up.
No, I didn't.
I thought that was out.
I don't be knowing nothing.
I told my wife that, too.
When my wife had a crush on him, I definitely told her Shemar Moore was gay.
Maybe that's what it was.
Maybe I said that.
Maybe I did hear something like that.
I definitely hated on Shemar Moore.
Oh, you know what it was?
They were having a conversation in here yesterday.
Little young girls.
Taylor and Paige.
Little 20-somethings was in here talking about all the old men they want to be with.
And they was naming Shemar Moore.
I told my wife
Shemar Moore was gay.
I said,
boy, it's Kojo.
Maybe.
I said Maxwell too.
I said,
because my wife liked all of them
and I said they was all gay.
Now, I'm going to be honest
with you.
It's hating when Envy
does it to his own
beige brethren.
When I do it,
it's perfectly fine.
Okay?
It's hate when you do it.
All right?
It's hating.
But it's not hating
when a dark-skinned person does it to a light-skinned person. Just because guys look better to y'all, you can't just call them gay. First of all, I get mentioned with all of them saying people. hate when you do it. But it's not hating when a dark-skinned person
does it to a light-skinned person.
First of all, I get mentioned with all of them same people.
No, you don't! Stop lying!
Mara, Shalemayne,
R.B. Singer, Joe, DMX,
Lafayette from
2 Blood.
What do you want from me?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
See what I'm saying?
I can never be great.
Won't let me have no type of confidence.
Nope.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Report.
Charlamagne.
Can't have no confidence about myself.
Who, Charlamagne?
Yeah.
What are you giving that dog a two?
Well.
See?
Sassy.
Well, it's going to a young lady named Brianna Brochu.
She needs to come to the front of the congregation.
We'd like to have a word with her, okay?
All right, we'll get into that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Come on in.
Charlemagne, say the gang.
Don't get out of shape.
Charlemagne.
You are a donkey.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkey of the Day does not discriminate.
I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day.
So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit it with the heat.
It's a breakfast club, bitches.
Who's donkey of the day today?
This is called Balance.
I just want y'all to know that.
No, that's called product placement.
Oh, they can't see me.
I'm holding Oprah Winfrey's The Wisdom of Sunday's book in one hand
and a bottle of Rumi Martin's 1738 in the other.
It's called Balance.
I thought that was product placement.
Shut up.
Donkey of the Day for Friday, November 3rd goes to 18-year-old Breonna Brochu.
Now, I have been monitoring this situation all week, and now is the time to give Breonna Brochu the credit she deserves for being stupid.
See, Breonna Brochu is facing a bunch of charges.
Now, number one, she's being charged with a hate crime and that hate crime is intimidation
based on bigotry or bias because
she's white and her victim was black.
Okay? She was also charged with criminal mischief
and breach of peace after bragging
online about contaminating her
roommate's belongings with
bodily fluids. Yes, both of these young
women, they attend
what is this, the University of
Hartford and they were roommates.
Okay, and she was, she bragged
online about contaminating her roommate's belongings
with bodily fluids, including rubbing
dirty tampons on her backpack
and putting her toothbrush
in places where the sun doesn't shine.
Disgusting. Now that's the
politically correct way to say what happened. Here's the
Charlemagne Tha God way of saying what happened. This little
bitch Brianna, right? She didn't like
her roommate because she was black. It's a little nasty
bitch Brianna spitting her coconut oil,
put spoiled clam dip in her lotion,
rubbed bloody ass used tampons on her
backpack, and put her toothbrush in her
little stink hot mayonnaise smelling ass.
And was calling her Jamaican Barbie.
All because she didn't want her as
a roommate. If you didn't want her to be your roommate,
you should have moved. But don't listen to me.
Let's go to Fox 61 Connecticut for the report, please.
K-crimes allegedly carried out by a University of Hartford freshman,
targeting her own roommate, then boasting about it over social media.
Now this whole situation now going viral,
but it's one that's not sitting well with students or staff here on campus.
She posted a paragraph saying that basically she finally did it.
She got me out of the room after a month of spitting in my coconut oil,
putting my toothbrush places the sun doesn't shine,
putting moldy clam dip in on my lotion, rubbing bloody tampons on my things.
So like she posted pictures of like my Steve Madden bag that I've been sleeping next to the whole time on my bed with bloodstains on it.
Talking exclusively to Fox 61 University of Hartford freshman Chanel Rowe describing a series of disturbing allegations against her college roommate, which are also outlined by police in this arrest warrant.
Rowe's roommate, 18-year-old Brianna Bruchoux, now charged with criminal mischief and breach of peace.
Police adding a charge of intimidation based on bigotry or bias, which is a hate crime charge.
This warrant also quoting Roe's Instagram posts, calling Roe a, quote, Jamaican Barbie.
Police say Bruchoux admits to some of the actions she supposedly boasted about online
but claims that most of
her social media posts were lies
and she was just trying to be
funny. Brianna Brochu, I have no idea
why this young lady, Chanel Roe, just didn't whip
your ass. She's an animal.
She is an animal. Chanel, you had every
right to whip her ass. I respect you
Sean Rescrank because you were in college. You were just trying
to get your education.
But I know you got family that would have gladly handled your white work.
I mean, light work, okay?
Even if Chanel didn't put hands on her,
you could have called a Jamaican aunt
or cousin or sister,
told them what happened, okay?
If you bring the right Jamaican person to campus,
she wouldn't have to touch this girl.
The accent alone would scare the hell out of this young lady, okay?
This girl, 18 and white, she has never in her life encountered the hell out of this young lady, okay? This girl, 18 and white, she
has never in her life encountered the wrath of a
West Indian woman, okay? Chanel, soon
as your Jamaican cousin ran down on that little
bitch once, not even twice, just once,
ran down her once and sucked her
teeth for a really long time and
started a nice Jamaican rant, okay?
Chanel, this your little razzclad roommate,
she violate you, put blood from
her poom-poom all over your backpack, put your toothbrush in her body hole.
Little daddy gal, now romp with me.
Orangas, go suck your mother.
I promise you, Brianna, bro, she would have been scared straight after that.
OK, she would have left you alone.
All right. If you would have let the right Jamaican woman in your family curse her out.
Oh, man. If that didn't work, you could have called Brianna's phone and left this
on her voicemail. You're looking at the toughest rascal Jamaican in the United States of America.
I run. I kill for nothing. And I make that some money. I deal with the business. Don't bring that
to me. You hear me? That's it. Wow. That's it. All you had to do is let this little chick Brianna
know that it could get really, really real in a really Jamaican way.
Now, Breonna, bro, shoot, here's the thing.
And this goes for everyone whose heart is filled with hate, bigotry, prejudice.
If you don't like me because of my race, gender, sexuality, don't try to run me away.
If you don't want to be around me, then get from around me.
You leave.
I know you feel privileged and entitled and you think the world is yours, but sorry, that's not the way things work.
If you don't like me, that's your problem.
I'm comfortable.
Okay, I'm black.
I'm used to all that negative racist energy you giving off.
So if you're uncomfortable around me, then you have to be moved.
That would have been the smart thing to do, but you're not smart.
And now you're facing criminal mischief charges, breach of peace, and a hate crime.
I hope you go to jail.
Okay, a nice six months will do you some good.
And I want to see how you would handle things with your black roommates in prison.
Oh, you like sticking things that aren't yours in your ass, huh?
Sound prison ready to me.
Give Breonna Brochu the biggest e-hall, please.
That's disgusting.
And I hope this story follows her for the rest of her life.
Every time she tries to do something and they search her name, this comes up and she gets no opportunities.
Wah-Gwan.
Where did you get that Jamaican accent from?
Is that the right thing?
Do I say Wah-Gwan after things like that?
No, Wah-Gwan is like, hey, what's up?
I want to say like word, facts.
It's like, hey, what's happening?
Bless up.
Bless up.
Say it again.
Let's do it over.
Say it again.
You hope what?
I said I hope that this story follows her for the rest of her life.
And every time she tries to get an opportunity, they're like, oh, you're the one that rubbed bloody tampons on your roommate just because she was black?
No, we don't want you here.
Bless up.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Now, that was, like, you should have said bumbleclot.
Why did you yell boom, boom, boom?
I know.
Why did I yell boom, boom, boom?
Where's Major Hype when you need him?
Jesus Christ.
Major Hype's not the only Jamaican.
And we don't even know if he's Jamaican.
Where's Jesus when I need him?
Oh, my goodness.
Jesus and Mero?
My goodness. Well, Jesus is Jamaican. Oh. All right. All right he's Jamaican. Where's Jesus when I need him? I didn't... Oh, my goodness. Jesus and Mary? My goodness.
Well, Jesus is Jamaican.
Oh.
All right.
All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey today.
I'm sure all the Jamaicans out there are upset with your accent this morning, but happy about
that donkey.
They know my heart's in the right place.
There you go.
And they know their Uncle Charles are retarded.
You just stick to your jerk chicken and white rice, all right?
White rice?
Rice and peas?
I want my rice brown because of the gravy.
It may be white, but I want it to look brown because of the gravy from the oxtail juice.
All right, man.
You mean white rice.
When we come back, Big Crit will be joining us.
Big Crit.
White rice.
Big Crit just dropped an album, so we'll kick it with Big Crit when we come back.
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.
We got a special guest in the building.
Hey, country crew.
Yeah, man.
What's happening?
How y'all doing, man?
Blessed, man.
New album forever.
It's been a mighty long time.
New double album.
That means double streams and double sales.
Yeah.
We're Big Chris side, Justin Scott side.
I get to show the duality of myself and my music.
And it's been, what, three years since Carolina came up?
Man, I'm dumb as hell. Man.
I'm gonna tell you why I'm dumb as hell. Here you go.
I'm gonna tell you why I'm dumb as hell.
Because I'm listening to the second
album and I'm like, it says Justin Scott
intro, I think. Yeah.
You didn't realize that was him? No.
I was gonna ask you, who was Justin Scott?
Yeah, nah, that's me. That's your real name? Yeah, that's my real
government name. Okay, okay, gotcha. Yeah, no, that's me. That's your real name? That's my real government name. Okay, okay, got you.
Yeah, bro, it's all good.
It's all good.
But, yes, I just want it not only sonically to show the dualities,
just in everyday life we put on that superhero face.
We go out into our jobs and our worlds and that confidence we have to have.
But when we get home, sometimes the anxiety is the depression.
It's the insecurities, and sometimes it can be a wave of that.
So I decided to write about that.
I'm dealing with a lot of anxiety
now too, my brother. I'm actually about to
start going to therapy for it.
And I hear it in the Price of Fame record.
I understood exactly
what the hell you was going through
on that record.
Talk about that record.
Price of Fame is one of those, reflecting on
how far I got in my career at one point.
And then you're going out, you're partying and all that stuff,
and you get back home,
and there's nobody to really share your successes with for real.
And then you find yourself just indulging more in your vices
and normally surrounding yourself around people
that are really only there for the moment.
Right.
You know, and I started really chasing accolades
and seeing what my peers had and becoming super competitive.
And I wasn't living
life either right and so i kind of dialed it back and i started to really pay attention to my
surroundings and what i was doing to myself not only on a health level but on a mental level you
looking way healthier thank you i'm doing my best i slowed down on the drinking you know i'm saying
really trying to eat right what the hell scared everybody i'm assuming you know what i'm saying
yeah my girl also just being a real positive person
that kind of get me to go outside.
Bro, I just spent time studio touring, studio touring,
and wasn't experiencing life at all.
You got to enjoy it.
Yeah, man, and so that's really what started to happen.
And even during the album, I went broke, you know, working on the album.
So there was no going out.
I mean, broke as far as me broke.
I don't know.
You know what I'm saying?
I ain't got the capacity.
Yeah, but it was like,
it's all gone kind of thing.
And then you sit back and like,
oh, the money wasn't making me happy either.
The materials I acquired
weren't making me happy.
And then I started to really
get to the bottom of my depression
and what I was going through.
And I was chasing some shit
that I never wanted in the first place.
It's kind of like mixed messages,
that song too.
A lot of, because we all have that kind of duality where there's things that we know
that we shouldn't be doing doing but you're gonna do it and then if somebody be like yo should i get
down with that you'd be like nah right but i decided to be as transparent as as possible
because the music industry will will give somebody the idea that it is some superhero. I got this brick wall.
That don't bother me.
But, man, when you get home, bro,
they hit you and then ain't nobody to talk to.
Like, that's dangerous, right?
And so you start to medicate, you know?
Especially coming from where you come from
because there's not a lot of people
who have experienced that success.
I mean, who you going to call, David Banner?
I mean, of course, yeah.
I'm going to call David.
And then I'm going to call Bun.
I'm going to call Ludacris.
And then I'm going gonna talk to my manager
and my you know my friends like big son been around since i was 13 years old so i can call
him and be like bro because he saw it before the success and the fame and but i i got to a point
where i thought i was bothering them because the first thing you do you know you call the family
member they'd be like but bro how can you be you got this you got that the people think yeah and
then you would be like we know what I don't even want to talk about.
You tripping because you making money?
You tripping because people know you?
And you would fall back from the conversation.
But you need to push through that and be like, you know what?
Yeah, but that ain't it.
That ain't all that I'm going through.
But you also have your girl, though.
Yeah.
And I know when you're in a relationship, it's much easier to talk to your girl
than sometimes it is to talk to your boys about that if she's supportive.
You right.
But then at the same time, it's this thing where we don't want to seem weak.
I was like, suck that up, man.
You know, and especially in your girl.
Like, sometimes I see her going through so much that I'll be like,
I ain't even going to bother you with that, especially on the business end, too,
because she's an artist and I don't want to scare her from the industry as well
because sometimes it could just be my
perception of it or my competitiveness has
created this narrative where I'm like
they ain't f***ing with me. They ain't rocking with me.
And I don't want to damage her and think it's going to be the same
scenario. I realize more artists and more
people have more problems due to social
media. It seems like social media
was causing people to have these problems.
Man, mystery was a thing
back in like the 90s, right?
You didn't know much about your favorite artists.
And if you did, it was because you encountered them in a brief moment.
You didn't know what they were going through to make their album.
But it gave you as a fan, you were just excited when they dropped.
Now it's like you're so engulfed in what people have to say about the music
and the creativity and the lifestyle that you can't focus on the craft
that got you in the first place. It's like,
bro, I saw a thousand positive tweets
that one tweet wrecked your whole day.
And then you want to tweet that person like, bro, why
you feel like that? And then all your fans are like, you don't
want me back. Why you even, you don't want me back?
Man, and it's just this spiral
and you just find yourself searching for
the negativity. And that's what I had to
fall back on. Like, bro, I can't even tune into
that no more. Just focus on this music.
You said on Price of Fame that your
father always told you, you won't live a quiet life
if you chasing fortune and fame.
So did you, like, I guess, stop chasing
fortune and fame? Like, what do you, what's your
question now? Just helping people.
A lot of times, especially when I was down and out,
it didn't stop people from hearing me like, bro, we waiting
on your album. Bro, keep doing what you're doing.
No matter what they were going through in life i didn't even know them they
just was like bro don't stop doing what you're doing that's a lot of humility to just man you
know in inspire somebody else that you don't even know right and again going into the vip sections
and kicking it and all that stuff it was it didn't last very long because once i got back home the
liquor set in, I wake
up with a hangover and I'm thinking to myself, what am
I doing with my life? What were you chasing though?
Because I've known you for a long time and you never
seen like that. Fortunate thing. You never seen like
that type of person. I've never seen you go and say, I'm
going to go buy a Bugatti. Okay, but
then you hear live from the underground and be like,
what you so mad about? Right. Like,
you know, and then it's the respect,
the idea of feeling like
man i'm up here and i'm doing all this with my music while people aren't paying attention like
the music game is changing so much right in front of me what am i missing but this jamming but the
athletes are telling you this is knocking but the label ain't picking up on it like why am i not in
these conversations but you address that on drinking sessions yeah and it's like bro that
that became just such a it it really weighed on me.
And it made it where conversations about music were bitter, and it wasn't supposed to be.
But your parents have given you your accolades.
Yeah, but you go into the game with that.
First, I wanted to be on the radio, and I was like, yeah.
Then it's like, I want to sign a deal and drop an album.
And then at that point, it's like, okay.
Now it's like, oh,'s like oh i'm not in
this class or oh crit you're not as good as this person then the memes go out with your face on
then records come out and then it's like then the crying face you know what i'm saying it's like
your brain go from like yeah your family proud of you to you like man i gotta prove them wrong
and man that's that that's turmoil i mean but it makes for good music because like on drinking
sessions you're very transparent about your industry frustrations and what critics are saying about
you so clearly you was you took a couple shots or something definitely wrote that drunk and it
went through a lot the day i wrote that so it was it became therapy i originally wrote that for me
to play for myself it's like when you venting the idea of getting it out it's no different if you
paint or if you just go to the gym to work out like Like, you just want to get that out. And so with me
as a writer and a creator, that's how I do
sometimes when I'm dealing with things that I can't express
vocally to somebody right then.
I record it. Alright, well let's get into it. Join
off the album. It's called Drinking Sessions.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Drinking Sessions
off of Big Crit's album. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God, we are the Breakfast Club.
Big Crit is here. Charlamagne?
Do you ever feel unappreciative?
And what I mean by that is you feel bad
because you feel unappreciative.
Like you've gotten to this point.
You've got the way you want to be.
But then you're like, damn, all of this is weighing on me.
Yeah, I mean, you're guilty yourself
for not being happy with what you got.
Happy with what you got, yeah.
Happy with what you prayed for and worked for.
Exactly, and then that's when it becomes very specific of what you're praying for, too.
Because when you pray for success, that's a lot of different stuff, right?
Right?
But me, I got to the point, I'm just praying for happiness.
Right.
Because we so in the pursuit of it.
And whatever that means, that that's going to come forth.
But I ain't praying for money and cars.
Like, nah, it ain't about that no more.
I just want to be happy.
Happiness is success.
Yeah. Hey. You had a happy. Happiness is success. Yeah.
You had a slight problem with alcohol then. Yeah, yeah.
Was it a slight problem, big problem?
I mean, I still say that it's a battle every day
when you don't realize how much you consume your vice,
but between touring and being in the studio,
eating regular, just kicking it with your partners,
it becomes a part of everyday life.
And then one day you be at home you like me I'm just gonna have a
sip that turns into every night before you go to bed you have a sip and so the
breaking the habit is difficult because everything you do you have a drink with
every socializing everything and it's everywhere so in the minute you decide
to stop going out becomes the issue getting on a plane becomes an issue
going in the studio becomes an issue. Getting on a plane becomes an issue. Going in the studio becomes an issue.
Interacting with your friends becomes an issue
because you're so used to having that
help you move along through your everyday life.
How much did you drink?
Man, I say I was consuming a lot.
I was consumed to the point where I would say that I didn't,
the people around, like,
any time you can smell it on someone the day after, right,
and then the day after and the day after and the day after,
that means they're not stopping.
You smell like a straight Mississippi under the tree.
Nah.
With the brown people back.
Nah.
I mean, but it's the truth.
And because for me, it's that whole idea I can drink, right?
I mean, we had the drinkers club, and we was partying.
I was in my 20s, and we got to pop on bottles and get into it.
Nobody was going to tell me to stop because I was having fun.
I was living life.
But people were concerned about you.
Yeah, I mean, but see, and then if they were, they were medicating too.
So it's like it's hard to tell me to stop and you medicate as well.
But when I hit 30, that's when, oh, snap.
It's like your body ain't reacting the same.
It's like, oh, you black out now.
It's like, oh, like I can't get up.
I can't work.
And then your girls, like, you know, these kinds of things start,
and it starts to affect the way you think about certain things
and the rationalities that happen.
Nah, bro, I can't be out here.
You thought you was an alcoholic?
Man, I mean, based off the signs of it, yeah.
But that lets me know you weren't,
because the first sign of alcoholism is denial.
Oh, nah, I ain't on that.
Nah, I ain't in no denial, man.
Hell nah, nah, bro, I was drinking entirely too much, and I had to stop.
Do you still drink?
I mean, I celebrated not too long ago, and I drank.
And then I started to see that it could have been very easy for me to get back into the same process.
Oh, stop it, Charlamagne.
To get back in the same process.
That's the devil.
You got to keep that devil off you.
Even coming up on this run and doing these interviews is the realization that I can't lean on that no more.
Because it's impossible for me to wake up as early as I need to wake up to come talk to y'all and then the rest of the day work and be on that.
Crash mode.
I believe in balance anyway.
Life is all about balance.
Every now and then I have a drink, but you see I have my green juice every single day.
Yeah, I mean, but moderation may not be an issue for you.
For some people, moderation is an issue and they don't know how, oh, this is this.
I concentrate on it, though.
See, and that's cool, but if some people out here, they'd be like, man, I got this.
It's a process to get to that point, though.
So how many times when you had that hangover, you was like, man, let me get a shot real
quick to kick this, or a glass of water?
Oh, me and my friends.
Never understood that, when people do that.
Yeah.
And that's when you.
I definitely have done that.
See, but.
And especially, I'm with my friends a lot.
So a lot of times, part of being social and being with your friends,
you're like, come on, it's brunch time.
No, I know you was drunk last night, but we got to go get the endless mimosas.
So when you got kids and family like that, you don't drink like that.
You're always around your kids, so you never think about taking a shot.
Yeah, but see, I don't have kids.
Me and my girl finally moved in together in all the years we've been together.
So now the responsibility of life is changing too yeah but before that you know long-distance
relationship I'm still in the studio drinking I'm still partying whatever and then I don't come back
to the crib and smell like alcohol up on the try to go to sleep I didn't have to worry about that
but that's another thing to worry about now like I'm not trying to be wasted trying to kiss in the
morning yeah that's disgusting now you say you don. Like, I'm not trying to be wasted trying to kiss her in the morning. Yeah, that's disgusting.
No, no, no.
Now, you say you don't have kids.
The intro sounds like an open letter to your son, though.
Of which record?
The Big Crit record.
Oh, no.
Big Crit is Justin Scott literally talking to Big Crit as an artist.
Got you.
All right.
And it's from the perspective, like, my music is going to outlive me as a human.
And so creatively, I had to start figuring out what I wanted to put out into the world.
And so that's literally me apologizing for the views
of how big crit may be viewed, even on a soul level,
as far as the sins of the people that have taken me literally
and then did something in their life that they'll regret
and having to take all that on.
Because forever is a mighty long time.
All right.
Now, you got the legendary Jill Scott on a higher calling.
Now, tell me if I'm right about this.
It feels like you're saying that the woman is God on this record.
To some degree.
But it's more like being with someone for so long
and then realizing that it's time for y'all to do something greater than yourself.
Like basically having a child, right?
And so that was what that is.
Like being at home.
Like, man, we should create now
it feels like you're ready hey
your smoke dizzle told me the album, it seems like it is,
you're ready to have a seed.
I'm growing up.
I'm growing up, but I realize that family
and interactions with people around you
and finding that one that loves you no matter what
is very much important in life.
Is it important for you to be married before you have a kid?
I mean, for me, I would like to go that route.
You know what I'm saying?
That's just how I am.
And I don't judge, you know, to each his own. Yeah, I was talking about you personally. Yeah, I would like to go that route. You know what I'm saying? That's just how I am. And I don't judge, you know, to each his own.
Yeah, I was talking about you personally.
Yeah, I would like to get married first.
If it doesn't happen, don't worry about it.
Yeah, I mean, but I ain't tripping.
I mean, it's all good, but, you know, you know.
Charlamagne did it halfway, halfway.
Yeah, yeah.
I was with my girl 16 years before we got married.
Wow.
We had a kid before.
I mean, but see, that's you.
You have to think about it.
It's like, there's a lot of things.
There's a lot of things.
Yeah, I'm old. I don't even remember what you did. to think about it There's a lot of them I'm old
Them numbers
I don't even remember
How long y'all been together
A long time
I've known y'all
Since about a long time
Man
You say everybody
Trying to die young
But who gonna talk about life
Exactly
Explain that a little bit
I mean it's just the idea
Of even living for the moment
You know
Lord willing
You got tomorrow
To have a moment
And the day after that
To have a moment
And it's the idea
Of we got a party And it's too like Nah man try to live and stay healthy and expand your life it's
so easy to talk about to be on your yolo right and then go do some that you shouldn't have done
and now you've ruined everything so i'm the guy that's like nah bro you gonna be 30 one day yes
you're gonna be 40 one day 50 if you're lucky. And 60. So as you are a part
of this younger generation
and 19 and can probably
look at the OGs like,
y'all old.
You're going to be old
one day.
Everybody got a birthday.
If you're blessed,
you will be.
And that's the narrative
I'm pushing.
Like, bro,
I see you being 30
and getting your,
like, nah, bro,
don't forget that.
So as the drugs
and the drinking
and the violence
is getting bigger
and bigger,
I got to start
telling these guys, like, bro, you're going to get older. Absolutely. Well and the violence is getting bigger and bigger. I got to start telling these.
I was like, bro, you going to get older.
Absolutely.
Well, the album is out right now.
Make sure you go pick it up.
Hey.
Forever is an almighty long time.
Did I say that right?
Forever is an almighty long time.
It's all good.
You know me, Cadillac to cut in all these words.
Well, it's Big Crit.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Happy Friday, y'all.
Listen.
What?
I went on Fandango last night and ordered tickets to go see Thor Ragnarok.
Fandango?
And I will be in the matinee today to watch it.
Okay.
Drop one of Clue's bombs for me.
God damn it.
I am excited. That's my type of fun right there.
I'll be in the matinee watching Thor Ragnarok.
You a cheap bastard.
Matinee's what? $6, $7? It was actually
$10. $10 matinee's that expensive?
Fine and dope.
Well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Cardi B.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor Report. Rumor Report.
This is the Rumor Report. Talkor report. This is the rumor report.
Talk to them.
With Angela Yeats on The Breakfast Club.
Well, Cardi B was on her live stream the other day,
and it feels like she's getting affected by all the negativity
and people talking ish about her.
Here's what she had to say about the music business.
So tired.
People motherfucking talk shit every single motherfucking day.
Every day. every day.
Like, it's so sickening.
Like, I don't even want to be fucking famous anymore.
I feel like I don't.
I really don't.
I really don't.
I don't care.
I just want to make fucking money.
I can fuck this shit as soon as I motherfucking can.
As soon as I fucking buy my house.
All right, translate.
So, she's basically saying she just wants to make money.
She's tired of everybody talking.
She just wants to buy her house.
And once that happens, she threw up the peace sign.
Well, retirement is an income, not an age.
And if you notice, that's one thing that Cardi does well.
She always knows when to get out of something.
Remember, she was a stripper.
She got out of that.
She was doing IG sketches.
She got away from that.
She got on Love & Hip Hop, got away from that, jumped into the rap game.
You know what I mean?
Make a little money.
Go find something else to do.
Acting, movies.
She's making some good money now.
Yeah.
That's the next wave for Cardi anyway, acting and movies.
But she's got to enjoy it.
Whatever it is, she has to enjoy it.
Yes.
Now, Meek Mill is facing almost two years in jail.
That's for violating his probation.
He'll be in court on Monday.
And that's because he got taken into custody after a fight at an airport in St. Louis in March
and then he was arrested
for recklessly driving
on his dirt bike
in New York City.
Both cases have been dropped
but they have to determine
whether or not
he violated his probation.
They were both dropped though.
They were both dropped
so hopefully he has no problem.
You know, people don't know
that he was actually
going to come out
on my set at Powerhouse
but couldn't because
of the charges
but he was definitely
going to come.
Let me ask you a question.
Does Meek probation people have it out for him?
I think so.
Or is Meek causing this on itself?
No, I think they have it out on him.
I mean, both cases would drop, so it shouldn't even be an issue or problem.
All right.
Okay.
All right.
And Gabrielle Union was on Hot Wings.
That's where she eats hot wings and answers some questions.
And she talked about Jason Kidd breaking up with her in high school.
Here's what happened.
He broke up with you via a thumbs down three weeks before junior prom.
With my father standing there.
It stuck with me.
All right, she also talked about DMX and how she was surprised
that he liked this particular television show.
Did you know that DMX loves the Golden Girls?
That's a real fun fact.
How do you know this?
Because he watches it in his trailer.
There was a dog biting incident
with one of the PAs
who was sent to go get him for set.
And so after a while,
nobody wanted to go get him,
and so I would be sent to go get him
because I'm a dog person.
And he'd be like,
Gap, have a drink.
I'm going to watch the Golden Girls.
This shit is funny.
What movie did DMX and Gabrielle Union do?
I can't remember.
I don't know.
I don't remember either.
I don't know.
Tip me on Twitter and remind me, people.
You know, Young Kshala, Head Back.
I don't know.
All right.
Now, French Montana.
What?
Cradle to the Grave.
Cradle to the Grave.
Cradle to the Grave.
Drop on the Clues box with Steve, the white demon, the white man.
How did he know that?
The white man knew that immediately.
All right.
And Diddy and Rick Ross executive produced French Montana's Excuse My French album.
But according to French Montana, he said J. Cole almost executive produced his first album after he played him the music.
He said they were on tour with Drake.
I was playing him my album.
He called me one day, yo, French, I would love to help you with the album.
I'm going to executive produce it.
So that didn't end up happening.
He said the time just wasn't right.
Now, he also says that he has a project with A$AP Rocky coming out soon.
So real, real soon.
I don't know.
How would a French Montana executive album executive produced by J. Cole,
how would I would have signed it?
I don't know.
I guess we'll never know.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
Happy Friday.
All right.
Happy Friday.
And drop one of Clues Bombs for my guy, Colin Kaepernick, man.
Happy birthday to Colin Kaepernick.
Yes, he's 30 today.
That's my guy.
History will be very kind to that brother.
All right.
Now, shout out to Revolt.
We'll see you guys tomorrow.
Everybody else.
Shout out to everybody out here in Detroit for Codes for Kids.
I'll be there tomorrow.
And today I'm going to be at Metro PCS.
So make sure you come check us out, me and Bushman.
All right.
People's Choice mixes up next.
Get your request in.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh, my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
