Collectively known as Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, Angela Yee. Hey, good morning, D-Dambi. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Monday.

Yes, it's Monday. And you can tell by the way that I got my hat half on that I don't have a haircut. And so that means my hairline is in the middle of my head. I look like RoboCop taking his mask off. And V, I see you got the little grays coming in. Yeah, I ain't get my hair cut yet. Yeah, okay. You got a long weekend. I need a haircut as well. Yee's made up the little grays coming in. Yeah, I didn't get my hair cut yet. Yeah, okay, you had a long weekend. I need a haircut as well.

Ye's made up. No grays in sight. Well, shout out to everybody in Bermuda. We were in Bermuda. You got any reggae music, any soca music in there that you could pull up? I had an amazing time out in Bermuda. Ye and I were out there for three days, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. We were with the premiere.

It was Cup Match weekend. Now, if you don't know what Cup Match is, it's a huge cricket tournament or cricket game. You got some reggae for me? Go ahead, play it. All you got is one love. Okay. That's all he has. Oh, my God. This is crazy.

I'm embarrassed. That is the stereotypical reggae song. Oh, my gosh. That's the song when you pull up to the whitest resort in any Caribbean island, and they play that song. Or they're going to play Red Red Wine by UB40. That's all he has. All right.

Well, it was an amazing time. Bermuda, I had so much fun in Bermuda. Shout out to the premier. You know what the premier is named? Premier David Burt and his wife Kristen for having us. They were so much fun. And cup match is their biggest thing they have every year. I was there for Carnival earlier this year also.

But Carnival is nowhere near as big as Cup Match yet. I mean, we did everything. We went to Cricket. Cricket Match. We went to a Socaverse reggae party. We went on a boat ride. We went to dinner. We had a great time.

They set up this incredible dinner on the beach at night. It was crazy. It was really dark out, but they had a band playing and everything. Terrence J was out there with us along with his girlfriend Jasmine Sanders. It was really fun. It'd be dope if we started taking listeners and stuff like that. That's what we're going to do for the next one.

The whole point of the trip was we were having a conversation. I was there with the premiere for Carnival, so we came back for Cup Match and we've been having conversations already about how can we get our listeners involved and what kind of things they can do, and they're trying to figure out how the island can get involved with bringing some of our listeners to Bermuda for Cup Match as well.

They figured a way to get the listeners down there without actually having a passport as well. So you can get to Bermuda. If you go on a boat. If you go on a boat, if they do a cruise ship from here. Yeah, you can do a cruise. It's an eight-hour cruise, I believe it is, and you don't need a passport, so if you don't have a passport, you don't have ship from here. Yeah, you can do a cruise. And it's an eight-hour cruise, I believe it is. And you don't need a passport.

So if you don't have a passport, you don't have to worry about that. Or you could just get one. Or you can get one. So we're working it out. That was the reason why we were down there. So shout out to everybody in Bermuda and the island of Bermuda. We appreciate you guys. Now, you were home, right?

You went home for the weekend. Yes, I was on a beautiful island called South Carolina. Dropping the clues, boss. South Carolina. All right. I went home for the weekend. You didn't watch no cricket matches while you were down there? No. I just went home to go pray on my grandma's porch.

That's all. And I got my book bag my annual book bag drive down there next Saturday. You going back? Home again. Yeah. I'll probably go back next Saturday. Next Saturday, April 11th at the Hope Community Center. April? What month were you? Definitely not April 11th.

Oh, it's August. August 11th. Next Saturday, August 11th at the Hope Community Center in Mouse? In Moncks Corner. What month were you? Definitely not April 11th. Oh, it was August. August 11th. Next Saturday, August 11th at the Hope Community Center in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. I do my annual book bag drive down there. All right. Now that's a beautiful team.

Mm-hmm. Now, this morning, we got a special guest joining us. Well, we don't even have a sheet here. Taylor Bennett. Taylor Bennett will be joining us.

His brother's way more famous than him. And by the way, I saw Chance the Rapper this weekend. I was in Detroit for NABJ, National Association of Black Journalism, and Chance the Rapper was there. He actually came by the party I was hosting, and he said,

yeah, I heard, when's my brother going to be on the show? I said, actually, I believe he'll be up here on Monday. So he's very excited to hear his brother. Chance is way more famous than his brother, but his brother's way more interesting. What? To me, I find Taylor more interesting, and I like Chance a lot. What makes him more interesting than Chance?

A lot. A lot of things. Well, we'll find out in a little bit. We'll find out in a little bit. Probably because he's a lot of different things. Probably because he's what? Probably because he's naked on his album cover with a thong on.

We'll talk about that. Maybe that's the reason why. And he's bisexual. I find that interesting. So that makes him more interesting than his brother? Yes. Very much so. Well, we'll talk to him.

We'll talk to him. And we got front page news coming up, Yee? Yes, we are going to be talking about, well, let's talk about Chicago and front page news and what happened over the weekend there. Okay, we'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Alright, morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne

the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, let's start off talking about Donald Trump versus LeBron. How did this even happen? As you can imagine, Donald Trump started it off with a tweet. LeBron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made LeBron look smart, which isn't easy to do.

I like Mike. Drop on a clues box for Donald Trump. Y'all can say what y'all want. That was a hilarious, hilarious tweet. Don Lemon responded and said, who's the real dummy? A man who puts kids in classrooms or one who puts kids in cages? Hashtag be best. Drop on a clues box

for Don Lemon too. Here was the original statement that had Donald Trump so upset. Here's what LeBron had to say. He's dividing us and what I noticed over the last few months that he's kind of used sport to kind of divide us. Drop on a clues box for LeBron had to say. He's dividing us, and what I noticed over the last few months that he's kind of used sport to kind of divide us. Drop on clues, boss of LeBron James,

goddammit. Everybody was guns a-blazin' in this situation. You know the best part about this tweet? What? The end part, when he said,

I like Mike. Mike got it the worst out of everybody in this tweet. He's minding his business. Because the worst thing you can get right now is an endorsement from Donald goddamn Trump.

Okay, everybody's side-eyeing A. Jordan is the way people side-eye their Yeezys right now. Well, Michael Jordan's only statement was, I support LeBron. He's doing an amazing job for his community. Michael's like, I don't know what the hell's going on. All I know is I like LeBron James. Okay? And I didn't vote for Trump.

And my genes are way too big. Now, who else is supporting LeBron? Melania Trump. She actually has lent her support to LeBron. She said, it looks like LeBron James is working to do good things on behalf of our next generation. She also would be open to visiting LeBron's I Promise School in Akron as part of her Be Best initiative. That's what caused Donald Trump to throw that slander, because Donald Trump read that tweet like, oh, you think LeBron's sexy, huh? You want to have sex with LeBron?

I thought she did that after. Yeah, it was after. She did that after Trump said that tweet. That means LeBron got another tweet coming his way then. And if I was a sneaker company right now, if I was Puma or Reebok or somebody, I would sign Colin Kaepernick right now and jump through the front of the line while everybody's side-eyeing their Michael Jordan sneakers and side-eyeing their Yeezys. Well, since you brought up the NFL, let's talk about the highest-paid NFL players of 2018. Who do you think is number one on that list with $30 million?

Taylor Jones? Tom Brady. Nope. Who? Tom Brady's not even in the list with $30 million? Taylor Jones? Tom Brady. Nope. Who? Tom Brady's not even in the top ten for this past year. Really? Who's number one? Matt Ryan from the Falcons with $30 million.

Number two, Kirk Cousins. Three, Jimmy Garoppolo. Four, Matthew Stafford. Five, Derek Carr. Sure. FYI. All right. In Chicago yesterday, 44 people were shot, including five who died in 14 hours on Sunday in Chicago.

According to Chicago police records, they said in at least one incident, shooters opened fire into a crowded street party. Are there any police presence in Chicago in that area? I mean, I guess the police report what happened, but I don't know what went down in Chicago But this was just on Sunday 44 people shot Was it hot in Chicago? Must have been hot on Sunday I don't know

So, then, in the morning, I was like, you missed your booty call last night? He's like, oh, whatever, whatever. So I went on Facebook, sent a friend request, and then I canceled it because I want her to know I know you're

calling him at this time of night. So she texted him and was like, hey, tell your ass girl to stop snooping on my page. So I sent her a message like, hey, you don't have to send a message to him. You can address me directly. From there, we had a long conversation. Everybody know what's up, and you just busted.

Well, listen, man. Everything happens for a reason. That's right, and cheating is played out, by the way. And when I hear about men cheating, I get exhausted and I get tired. I'm a proud member of the Faithful Black Male Association. This is a gated community, okay? It's not even a secret society, but all we do ask is trust. That's right.

So I hope it's over for good now? We have 18 years right. So I hope it's, is it over for good now? We have 18 years vested, so I don't know if it's over for good, but I just have my eyes wide open.

Yes, let's talk about Demi Lovato. She has written an open letter for everybody and will tell you what she has to say about her sobriety. Also, Kalani has an open letter as well. We'll tell you what she has to say for her fans as she takes a little bit of a break. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, keep it locked. 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. Let's get to the rumors and talk Oprah. She's spilling the tea.

This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, you know when Oprah has a date night, I'm sure it's incredible. And she gave out some advice on what she does to get Stedman in the mood. Here's what she had to say, and it's posted on Oprah Magazine's Instagram. So he is delighted with anything that I make. So my favorite date night is to make him black-eyed peas and cornbread as a surprise for dinner. And then it's on. What's on?

I don't know. It goes down with her and Stedman. Oprah get a little friggin'. Now, you know my last name is Pinkett Smith Winfrey Nose Carter. So Oprah, my mama. I don't want to think about Stedman getting a full stomach and then giving mama O to big O. Why not?

You don't think Oprah does that? I know mama got to have a life too, but God damn. All right, Oprah. Just some black eyed peas and cornbread. I don't know if it was St I know mama got to have a life too, but God damn. All right, Oprah. I ain't mad at her. Just some black-eyed peas and cornbread. It was the look in her eyes. I didn't know if it was Stedman or the black-eyed peas and cornbread that was making her bite her bottom lip. All right, Oprah.

I ain't mad at her. All right, now let's do some good news. Ludacris paid for a woman's groceries at Whole Foods, and she posted on Facebook basically telling the whole story. He didn't know her struggles or anything, but she was behind him in line, and one of her items actually ended up getting mixed in with his groceries. It was some dog food. She insisted on paying for those items, but he wasn't having it. And he ended up paying for all her stuff, $375 worth of Whole Foods groceries for her. Now, he didn't know that she

was going through a lot of things in her personal life. Her husband passed away after a battle with brain cancer. She's also taking care of her disabled brother and six rescued animals that she has. So she's been having a lot of financial hardships. She said she's a Hurricane Katrina survivor. She lost her mom because of that. She said Ludacris had no way of knowing his quiet kindness and generous

gesture came at a moment when my candle was out. He used his personal light to fire up my own. Isn't that what we should be doing for each other? I think it is. Be like Ludacris, y'all. I know I'm going to do it. Pay it forward. We can, every one of us. That's a beautiful thing. She didn't even know it was ludicrous. She said the cashier actually told her, you know, that's ludicrous, right? I will say, though, if you're having financial hardships, first thing you do is not to be in Whole Foods. Well, somebody actually gave her a $250 Whole Foods gift card.

Oh, okay. Now that makes sense. A friend of hers gave that to her to buy some groceries, noticing the struggles that she was going through. That's why she was there. So it was $375 worth of groceries. So she had an extra $150-something to make up for the $250 gift card. Right, but he paid for everything.

Just scale it down a little bit when you're going through financial hardships. Or if you get the gift card, just spend $250. Okay. Well, shout out to Luda. Some people you get the gift card, just spend $250. Okay. Well, shout out to Luda. That was a nice gift. Because some people don't have $100 to even spend on the groceries at a regular store. She has six dogs to take care of, her disabled brother, and all of that. Six rescued animals.

No doubt. That's what she's doing. Okay? So Luda Chris did a great deed for her. That was nice, Luda. And actually helped her out a lot. All right, Demi Lovato. She posted an open letter on social media and that's all because she wants

to be very transparent about her journey with addiction. She said, what I've learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. It's something I must continue to overcome and I have not done that yet. I want to thank God for keeping me alive and well. To my fans, I am forever grateful for all your love and support.

So she said now she will heal and focus on her sobriety and road to recovery. Why does she make it sound like it's just like a sickness? It is a sickness. It's also an addiction. There's a difference between the way we talk about Demi Lovato's addiction problem and other people's addiction problem.

What do you mean? We call other people crackhead. We haven't said that about her. But she didn't use crack. What do you call her? The pill head? Yes. We don't have a term for we don't know what she did yet though right? We haven't said that about her. But she didn't use crack. What do you call her? The pill head? Yes. We don't have a term for it. We don't know what she did yet though, right? We don't know what pill it was. Opioid head. We don't know what it was. Yeah, we pray for everybody's recovery. Anybody that has any

struggles with addiction. Kalani in the meantime is taking a break. She said it's her first break in her entire career. I've been on three tours this year. I'm loving being home for more than two days at a time. Please don't rush me. The music's coming when it's supposed to. I've been on three tours this year. I'm loving being home for more than two days at a time. Please don't rush me. The music's coming when it's supposed to. I've earned this time. So yes, you have, Kalani.

Take that time for yourself and get it together. Alright, I'm Angela Yee and that is your Rumor Report. Why are you playing your own drops during Angela Yee's Rumor Report? I hit it by accident. Why does somebody just yell out DJ Envy during Angela Yee? I don't know. I hit it by accident. Bees like that sometimes. Why are you hitting your own drops at 7 o'clock in the morning?

It's not even in the mix yet. I'm getting my... The mix show isn't until 9 o'clock. All right. Jesus Christ. Goodness gracious. All right,

and happy birthday to YBN Almighty J. He turned 19 today. Oh, I saw a black China boy and my dog. Why are you looking like that? Because I don't know that nigga.

And I'm like, why are you just shouting him out for that? Maybe Envy knows him. That's his birthday. That was the Ram born day was yesterday. Londell McMillan I'm like, why are you just shouting him out for that? Maybe Envy knows him. That's his birthday. That was the Ram born day was yesterday. Londell McMillan. People we actually know.

You just shouting out YBN, Almighty J, NBA, MLB, NFL. Who is that? I don't know him. Does he rap? Yes. It's Black China's boyfriend. All right. Little young dude.

Congratulations, young man. All right. When we come back, we got front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? We're talking about a fight that went down in a Brooklyn nail salon and it was an all-out brawl. I know this video went viral, so we'll give you

what information we do know at this time. All right. We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. What are we talking about, Yeezy?

Well, let's talk about these nail salon workers in Brooklyn. There was a big fight and this fight went viral. I'm looking at Tamika Mallory's page and she's posting as everything has gone down as they are protesting outside this nail salon. Now, what they're saying happened is

a woman who was an elder was there with her granddaughter. She paid for her feet and nails but refused to pay for her eyebrows because she was not satisfied with how her eyebrows were done. Instead of making a compromise or including a third party like the police to mediate, the women in the nail salon then attacked the women.

And you can see there's video that's gone viral. Like a million people have viewed it so far. And you can see that it's an all-out brawl in East Flappish at Red Apple Nails. It ain't no brawl. A brawl is two-sided. That was a very one-sided brawl. And that's my whole point with that video. I feel like I turned to a TV show in the middle of it and missed the beginning,

so I don't quite know what's going on. But I will say this. Black people gotta start fighting back. I'm so sick of watching videos where we turn up on each other with the quickness, but when it comes to other races, we get cowardly as hell. Stop recording these random acts of racism and start defending yourselves, okay? They got metal rods. It's something in that store you could have picked up and started swinging back.

Well, cops did end up arresting a salon worker and one of the patrons on Friday night after the incident, though we don't know which person got arrested. But the customer that was arrested was booked on misdemeanor assault and other charges. She was released on personal. They arrested the customer for misdemeanor assault? She didn't swing. Unless there's a part of the video we didn't see. I don't know which customer that is. I don't know which customer that is.

I don't know which customer that was that got arrested. Well, it couldn't have been. The only person we saw swinging was the employee. So that wouldn't make them a customer. Well, after one woman was swung on and she left the salon, there was another woman inside the salon that started fighting as well. Oh, good. That's the video I want to see.

Because I get so tired of seeing black people getting their ass kicked on camera. It's disrespectful. Like, I'm watching that video. I'm so pissed off. The funny thing about it, it's not funny, but this happened to Gia before where, not that nobody swung on her, but Gia will go into a place and if you don't necessarily give the service

that she wants and she's not satisfied with the service, she ain't paying. And if you got a problem with her, then she's like, whatever. But she's not paying for a service that she's not satisfied with. And this happens all the time. If you go to a restaurant and you order some food and the food isn't good, they still sometimes try to charge you for it.

Well, most of the time when you complain, they at least try to fix things. I guess you can't fix it once you done messed my eyebrows up. There's no going back with that. No, no fixing eyebrows. So usually if you complain... You gotta wait for those to grow back in. Yeah, you complain and they did a terrible job.

Most people will honor that and not make you pay. But if they do, you just pay and never go back. What I think is key here, though, is that the woman you pay. But if they do, you just pay and never go back. What I think is key here, though, is that the woman did pay for her nails and feet, which she also got done, but she refused to pay for her eyebrows.

Eyebrows are like $5, $7. What's key here is in the video I saw, there wasn't no black people throwing them goddamn hands. All right? That's what I'm tired of seeing. I am sick and tired

of seeing videos of us turning up on each other, but when it comes to other races, we just back down. Well, they said one person was a grandmother. Okay, two other people weren't. I don't know how old she is.

Yeah, she was getting hit over the head with that metal rod, and it just hurt my stomach, man. Can you imagine somebody hitting your grandma with a metal rod? It's never like... I don't think the grandma was getting hit in the head with a metal rod. Who was getting hit with a metal rod? I don't know who was who. I don't know about you.

I was watching it. You know, I really don't know. Maybe she's just not that type of person. But my grandmama hit me so many times with that shoe. My grandma would have got busy with that shoe in it. But I'll say there are six people attacking her. And we did see the video from the middle. So we don't know what happened before that.

And there's definitely six people surrounding her, attacking her. God, she should have never got hit with that rod. Try that with my deal. So everybody is now protesting. It is not real. For this nail salon, Red Apple Nail. All right, well,

let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. What do you do if you get a service and you're not satisfied? All right? That's what we assume. And we will get you fired

afterwards. I don't play. I will get you fired. I'm not paying for a service. And hey, call the police. Hey, call them. You do know that those businesses only, they only'm not paying for a service. And hey, call the police. Hey, call them. You do know that those businesses only thrive

because they provide good service. If you tell them that their service sucks, they should honor that and not make you pay or try to correct whatever it is they messed up. You can't do that when it comes to like eyebrows and stuff. That's why things like reviews and all of that is important because everybody goes and leaves a review afterward you should care about because I

base a lot on if I need to go to a business, I look on Yelp, I look and see what type of reviews this place has gotten. If I see bad reviews because your service is bad, that affects business. I do tell you, I would say that most of those reviews are bad, and you have a lot of problems in those hair salons and nail salons.

I guess they feel like they've put the time in, the effort in, whether it takes 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and if I don't like it, I'm sure they're like, well, I put this hour in, but I don't like your ish. And I'm not paying you. The only thing I'm learning from this is now is you better go in there with a weapon. All right. You go in these nail salons. You go anywhere where you think you might get bad service and you don't like the service.

You better be prepared to get into a scrap if they're coming out with metal rods on your ass. How dare you tell me my product ain't good? How dare you tell me my service was whack. 585-1051. What do you do if you get a service? If you went to one of these places, you get a service and you're not satisfied. What do you do in that situation? Because there's no manager.

Call for backup. It's not like you be like, let me talk to your manager. There's never a manager. You be the owner. You might be right. Call for backup. If they jumping you. Okay, if they jumping you just because you tell them your service bad.

Why's your phone? Whose phone is that? Not me. That's not mine. That definitely was one of yours. That was God. 800-585-1051 is the Breakfast Club. Come on. That was Kanye West through the wire. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela

Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, over the weekend in Brooklyn, there was a brawl. Well, we can call it a brawl. It was not a brawl. Stop saying it was a brawl. Who do you call it? It was some people getting their ass kicked.

Yeah, somebody got jumped. It wasn't no brawl. A brawl is two people going at it, two groups of people. One, two people going at it with each other. An unfortunate situation. What happened, Yee? Yes, it was at New Red Apple Nails on Ocean Avenue in East Flatbush, and there was a fight.

One woman didn't like how her brows were done, refused to pay for her eyebrow job, and that's when the nail salon workers then surrounded her, attacked her with broomsticks and everything, dustpans, all of that. So the question is, 805-851051, what do you do if you get a service and you're not satisfied? You don't get your ass kicked. And that's my whole point of this whole video.

Of course not. I'm so tired of seeing black people, you know, so quick to fight each other. But when it comes to other races, we get so cowardly, okay? I want us to stop recording these random acts of racism and start throwing these hands. All right, let me ask you a question. What would your wife do, right? What? Your wife is in a nail salon.

Yes. With your younger daughter. Yes. Getting a nail salon and something happens. Is your wife going in a nail salon with your younger daughter, getting in a nail salon, and something happens. Is your wife going to start fighting back with your younger daughter then? No, she's going to complain, and she's going to tell them I don't like the way y'all did my nails.

And if they tell her, okay, well, you have to pay anyway, she's going to pay and never go back there again. And if they swing on her, my wife is absolutely going to throw them hands. So she would pay, regardless? Yeah, she would, but she'd never go back. Because, I mean, at the end of the day, you are paying for labor. Even though you didn't like the service, they did still put in the time.

See, my wife's not going to pay. My wife is not going to pay. And my wife got hands. She's from Brooklyn. She got hands. So she's quick. If that lady would have pulled out a rod, that whole nail salon would be messed up. Well, the places that I like to go to, if their service is great, then what they should do is, if you don't like something, they shouldn't make you pay for it.

They should say, OK, or they should say, well, what can I do to fix it? If it's browsed, there's not much they can do to fix it. And they shouldn't make you pay for that. But if it turns into a bigger deal, I'd probably just be like, all right, no tip or nothing. I'm out of here. I'm never going back. That shouldn't be on the customer because it's the business's job to provide good service. So if they provide good service,

then they are messing up future money, not only from you, from people that you may tell don't go to that place, that place sucks. I would go right on Yelp and write a terrible review with my face on it

because I use my Yelp. And if I have great service, I like to leave a review. When I have terrible service, I do the same thing. See, the problem is you rush my service probably because the hair salon

and nail salon was packed and you rush me. No, I'm not paying for it. I am not paying for bad service. I work hard for my money and I'm not paying for you to F up my stuff. And what if they pull out a metal rod and bust you upside your head? Then what? I'm going to call the police.

I'm going to fight back. I'm going to call the police. And then I'm going to sue the ish out of that nail salon. What's the name of that nail salon? New Red Apple Nails. New Red Apple Nails. New Red Envy Nails. New Red Blood point out the side of your head because they New Red Envy Nails. That's what they're called. Yeah, New Red Blood

pouring out the side of your head because they bust you upside the head with a metal rod. Hey. Hello, who's this? This is Perz. How you doing?

What's up, bro? What do you do if you get a service and you're not satisfied, bro? Oh, I'm going there and I'm going to let them know that, look, you're going to do my service

the way that I want you to do it because, you know, you're paying for a service but then you're not going to do the service the way you want to do it. You're going to do the service the way you want to do it. You're going to do it the way I want you to do it. I'm with you.

Ain't no coming back from bad eyebrows, though. Once they mess your eyebrows up, you just got to wait till they grow in. But see, you can still be mad and not pay for it. I got to pay, and my eyebrows is crooked? Yeah, I don't know about that, but... Sia! Yo, what's going on, Andy? What's going on? Hey, man, you a dude, man.

I know what you're going to do in that situation. You're going to fight, right? Oh, hell yeah, I'm scrapping. Come on. First of all, you don't even need to get to scrapping. Ask him the question first. What would you do if you get a service and you're not satisfied? Exactly.

You don't just start fighting just because you're not satisfied. First things first. First things first. If I get a service, I'm not satisfied. I ain't paying. Feel me? That's it. Bottom line.

That's what you got to do. There ain't no excuse about it. What if your barber bigger than you? What if your barber mess your hair up and then you tell him he ain't paying, but he bigger than you? Listen, I'm going to grab those clippers and I'm going to get them right in the throat right there with them clippers. That's what you think.

It ain't nothing off limits. That's what you think. Oh, my goodness. Stephanie. Hi. Good morning, guys. Good morning, Stephanie. Now, what do you do if you get a service and you're not satisfied, Stephanie?

Well, usually if I get a service and I'm not satisfied for it, I call a manager and I don't pay for it. Or I try my hardest not to because it doesn't make any sense to get into a fight with somebody down here. Especially in Florida, you don't know what these people have on them. You're right. Stand your ground, law. Right. Exactly. We don't know what happened before they started recording, but it looked like they were just attacking this woman.

Wait, a nail salon, who's the manager? I've never seen a manager in a nail salon. Usually just the owner. No, usually the person doing your nails. Yeah, usually the person who sits in the front in the first chair is the person that's the best, and sometimes they're the manager also. That's how you can usually tell. But my nail salon in Brooklyn I love.

Like, they're great. I do feel like it's a part of this video that we're missing because we didn't see zero to 60. That video starts at 60 and it goes to like 100, 150, 200. Like something happened in between that process. That's true. For them to start just pulling out metal rods and swinging like that, something happened.

800-585-1051. What do you do if you get a service and you're not satisfied? Call us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Th up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, it's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about an incident

that happened over the weekend at a nail salon. Explain to the people right fast, Yee. Yes, this was in Brooklyn, and what we see from the video is the workers at the nail salon are attacking this woman, and what we do know is that she didn't like her eyebrow job and didn't want to pay for it. So, do you want me to believe that she didn't like her eyebrow job and didn't want to pay for it. So do you want me to believe that she didn't like her eyebrow job, she didn't want to pay, and so these group of Asian people just decided to start beating up on her because she didn't want to pay?

I don't know exactly what happened. Something's missing from this whole story. But what I do hate the most about this video is I am sick and tired of seeing black people getting their ass kicked on camera. Like, we got to start fighting back. Like, I'm just sick of watching videos where we turn up on each other with the quickness, but when it comes to other races, we get cowardly as hell. But maybe they did fight back, and

then the lady pulled out a rod, and the girl was like, Oh, so we missed that part. We missed the part where the butt... I can't fight a rod, so let me get out of Dodge. Well, I'm fine with that. I just need to see it for my own personal well-being. I just want to see black people throwing them hands, man, and connecting with people of other races if we're gonna to fight. If we're going to be fighting each other, at least can we get some W's?

Hello, who's this? Good morning, DJ Envy. This is Chevella calling. Hey, Chevella. Good morning, Chevella. Good morning, Charlamagne Angelou. Good morning, hon. Good morning. I wanted to speak on the incident up in New York at that Nelson line. Go ahead, mama.

That is absolutely ridiculous. See, us as a people, we really should consider funneling our money into our own companies to provide these services to each other. These Koreans and Japanese people, whoever they are that have these salons, they would never step foot in an African-American business and spend one nickel with us. But we take our hard-earned dollars to these people. They don't

greet us respectfully when we walk in and they won't even as much as offer us a $5 discount as a regular customer. Now, hold on. My nail salon treats, they treat me very well. As soon as I walk in, everybody's friendly, nice. They greet everybody nicely. They give us discounts. They have... I'm just saying. I'm not saying all. Yeah, nice. They greet everybody nicely. They give us discounts. Oh, Angela, you defending her agent side

this morning. I'm just saying. Yeah, it's not all of them. I'm not saying all, Angela, because I haven't been to every nail salon, but as of recent, I'm a truck driver, like I said, and in between my lows, on occasion, I will stop into a nail salon. I went to a nail salon out in

Pennsylvania last week. I have been to this place before. $80 for a pedicure, manicure, gel polish, what have you. When I went in there a week ago, the guy that greeted me, I had never seen him there before, but it was a couple faces that I recognized. When I walked into the front door, he looked at me and he said, what? I don't know if it was because of my appearance, because, again, I'm a truck driver. I don't let myself go sloppily like some people do. But I had on my headset.

My hair was tied up. I had on my tank top, tennis shoes, and flip-flops, you know, comfortable for the truck. Comfortable. And the way he greeted me immediately turned me off, and I said, excuse me? And he was like, what do you need? I turned around and walked out like, no, it's just, I mean, it's not what you do. It's how you do it, and it's not what you say. It's how you say it. First of's not what you say. It's how you say it.

First of all, $80 is a lot of money. That is a lot. Because me personally, I like spa pedicures, milk and honey, okay, or sometimes the green tea. But I don't spend no $80 for that. That's a lot of money. Not only $80 am I spending with these people, I'm giving them a tip too. So I'm walking out of the door leaving them with

$100 plus, and you can't even greet me accordingly? You're right. You're absolutely right in that case. You're not going to get no more money from me because you can't even greet me as a human being. Okay, baby. Calm down. Calm down. Let's breathe. Let's breathe. She is right. We need to start having our own

businesses and make sure that we can support each other. Man, this ain't nothing new. But we need to. This is mandatory. Financial freedom is our only hope. Unity and group operation is a must. We act like Elijah Muhammad and Marcus Garvey and everybody before us hasn't been telling us this.

This is a must. Well, Tiana Taylor has her own nail salon in Harlem. Yeah, Junie B's. And then that's African-American owned. So you can go to Junie B's in Harlem. And in Brooklyn, we have quite a few of them in Best Out. I would much rather's. And then that's African American owned. So you can go to Junie B's in Harlem. And in Brooklyn, we have quite a few of them in Bastard.

I would much rather fight my own people for giving me Bastard. We have to fight using our heads for more than these people and all of this ridiculousness.

Like, we really have to do better as a whole. And we got to start sticking with each other. Now, there's no way I could be in a nail salon and see them hit a girl over the head

with a rod. I can't see that. Well, somebody did. A customer did intervene. As he should have or she should have. As he should have or she should have. I can't see that. They should have never turned and said anything physical.

Calm down before you fight somebody this morning now. All right. You in your truck now? You in your truck now? I'm in the truck now. Blow the horn for me. Blow the horn. I want to see this $80 pedicure.

Thank you, Mama. I ain't going to lie to you. What's the moral of the story? That's a lie. The moral of the story is she's absolutely right. Unity and group operation is a must.

We must start doing it for ourselves, period. Well, shout out to Posh Nails in Brooklyn. That's where I get my nails done. They do a great job. Treat me very well. I would much rather get into

a fight with my own people because they gave me bad service. All right? My goodness. All right. My goodness. All right. We got rumors on the way. Well, I mean, we're going to keep it moving. Let's talk about EA.

They are apologizing to Colin Kaepernick because of this whole Madden game. We'll give you all the information on what happened with that. Let's talk about unity and group operation. Over the weekend. Let's just get right into that. All right. We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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, this was the controversy over the weekend. Now in the EA Madden game, apparently Colin Kaepernick's name was left off of YG's song Big Bank. Here's the original version of the song. Feed me to the wolves.

Now I leave the packing. You boys all cap, I'm more Colin Kaplanick. I'm rare as affordable health care. Two years in a row, by the way. They did that last year on the mic. We made a song, took Kaplanick out of it. All right, well, here's the version that you hear on EAMADDIN19. Feed me to the wolves, now I leave the packing.

You boys all cap, I'm more... I'm rare as... All right. Very glaringly missing. Now, somebody had to do that because there's no way they could just take out the vocal and have the beat playing unless they had the actual instrumental. They did the same thing last year on a Mike Will Made It song. An engineer sent that through.

That wasn't. EA couldn't have done it. Well, Big Sean tweeted out, it's disappointing and appalling. NFL and at EA took Kaepernick's name out of my verse on Big Bang for Madden 19 like it was a curse word. When he's not a curse, he's a gift. Nobody from my team approved any of this. Now they responded, hey, Sean, no doubt we messed up here. We look forward to making it right.

And then they posted, we made an unfortunate mistake with our Madden NFL soundtrack. Members of our team misunderstood the fact that while we don't have rights to include Colin Kaepernick in the game, this doesn't affect soundtracks. We messed up and the edit should never have happened. We will make it right with an update to Madden NFL 19 on August 6th that will include the reference again. So they did apologize to YG, Big Sean, to Colin, the NFL, to the fans and the players for that mistake. Now here's what YG had to say about us speaking with the EA CEO. You know the CEO, we had a conversation on the phone.

You know what I'm saying? They was apologizing. You know, they said they're going to do more than just call everybody and apologize and all that. You know what I'm saying? So that's good. That wasn't purposely done. That's what they say. But I'm a fan of the NFL and the NBA and all that,

so we just got to make it right, you know what I'm saying? Absolutely. Now, will YG be boycotting the game? Here's what he had to say about that. This ain't about boycotting nothing. On bloods. I got the new one in my car right now. I'm about to go play this.

You know what I'm saying? They put Broden back in on the game. You know what I'm saying? They put bro's name back in the song on the game. You know what I'm talking about? So it's all good. Well, I don't think people should boycott Madden, but if you're going to give $59.99 to however much that game costs to people like EA that are marginalizing you, then give $59.99 to the person being marginalized.

And that's why on Friday, my brother Van Lathan and my sister Angela Rye and myself, we started the Know Your Rights Challenge where we encourage people to do just that. And since Friday, the people have collectively come together to raise over $80,000 for Colin Kaepernick's Know Your Rights Camp. So we don't have to sit around and be outraged all the time. We have to learn to turn that negative energy into positive energy. All right. Now let's discuss Fargo.

Do any of you watch the show? Because they're going into the fourth season of Fargo. It's a six-time Emmy-winning series. And guess who's going to be on the new season? Because they haven't been giving out too much information. Chris Rock. Chris Rock is going to play the head of an African-American crime family pitted against an Italian crime family and a Romeo and Juliet type of premise. So for those people who have never watched Fargo, they said it's a really great show.

I'm going to have to get into it since Chris Rock is about to be on the next season. Alright, well I'm Angela Yee and that is your Rumor Report. And by the way, I challenged you and DJ Envy. I challenged Angela Yee and DJ Envy to give you $59.99. When did you challenge us? I challenged y'all on Friday.

We were on the boat. We didn't get service. Wait, did you text me? I put it on Twitter. I mean not Twitter, on Instagram. Well, why did you text me? Because it's a Twitter. I mean, not Twitter, on Instagram. Well, why didn't you text me? Because it's a challenge. I got to publicly do it so other people can see it. I didn't even see it. I didn't even see it. All right?

I seen it when I got back. Why didn't you tell me? I challenged you. I seen it when I got back on Monday. I challenged Envy, Angela, Amanda Seals, T.I., and Killer Mike. Oh, I totally missed it. And Amanda did it. I haven't seen T.I. do it yet.

Killer Mike texted me and said he was doing it. And I haven't seen y.I. do it yet. Killer Mike texted me and said he was doing it. And I haven't seen y'all two do it yet. I just didn't see it. You should have texted me. We were on a boat. We were out on a boat, you know. And Kevin Hart is actually, Kevin Hart got challenged by Kenny Burns

because Kenny Burns did it. And Kevin Hart is about to show out today. Wait, is that the video where your face was all in the camera? With my weird angle? Don't remind me. It was definitely a weird angle. Okay. Oh, I didn't see it. I was definitely a weird angle. It was weird.

Oh, I didn't see it. I just saw his face and I was like, what the hell is Charlamagne doing in that scroll path? The weird angle is called selfie mode. I didn't know what was going on. He was kind of going, I didn't pay it any money.

There's nothing on this planet that will humble you more than selfie mode. I was like, why does Charlamagne look like that? I didn't realize it was a challenge. The only reason I went back and watched that video

because it was on the shade room, I had like chapped lips and I was like, it was a challenge. The only reason I went back and watched that video because it was on the Shade Room, I had like chapped lips. Selfie mode is terrible. Selfie mode will humble your ass. Boy, I don't care how... We should do a challenge to get you some Vaseline for your lips. I'm going to read those comments on Shade Room now. Don't try to distract from the fact y'all ain't donate that $59.99

to Colin Kaepernick. That video looks scary. I didn't want to hear it. Alright. We're going to donate this money. The link is in my bio. The Colin Kaepernick's Know Your Rights Camp, okay? How long you gonna leave that video up? $59.99. Alright, go donate some money. Well, Mr.

Chaplip, who you giving that donkey to? My lip's on chap this morning, okay? They were just chapped that day. It was early. It was just that day. It was early, okay? Oh, donkey today is more of a public service announcement to everybody four after the hour. We need to talk to some people out here in these streets because I cannot believe you guys are,

I don't even know if you call this safe sex. I was about to say practice in this type of safe sex, but we'll talk about it four after the hour. All right. We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on.

Charlamagne. Say the gang. Donkey of the day. Charlamagne. You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. morning. Breakfast Club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Yes, donkey of the day for Monday, August 6th goes out to everyone who is reusing condoms in these streets. What? I saw this story on CNN Health this morning, and I was disgusted simply because I know someone who has tried this before.

Now, the Center for Disease Control has released a statement, and that statement is warning people against reusing condoms. They actually tweeted out, we say it because people do it. Don't wash or reuse condoms. Use a fresh one for each sex act. Duh. Now, I shouldn't even be concerned with this story

because I am a happily married member of the fateful black male community. I have two beautiful daughters and another young queen on the way next month, so condoms serve no purpose in my life. But my brothers, on a scale of 1 to 21 savage, what level of savagery is this? Okay, now I have a friend who I saw do something like this a long, long, long time ago.

We were actually in Jamaica at Hedonism, and he couldn't find no condoms on the resort. And I watched him take a condom and dip it in the ocean. And from what I know, he attempted to use it again. Now, when I saw him do this, my natural instinct was this is wrong. And I don't think this is the way condoms are meant to be used and Elizabeth Teron uh with the CDC's division of STD prevention says you can't reuse condoms simply because they won't work as well do I have to say duh again she says condoms present the spread of most STDs and likely reduce the risk of all STDs but a condom is only effective when used correctly incorrect use such as reusing a condom or using more than one at a time diminishes

the protective effect of condoms by leading to condom breakage, slippage, or leakage. If you're one of the few people out there reusing your condoms, she says, A, please don't, and B, take heart. The World Health Organization's position on condoms recognizes the need for both better education on effective

condom uses, as well as free or low-cost distribution options so people won't feel the need to recycle. Y'all are taking this go green thing way too far. Okay, I'm all about protecting the environment. I'm all about recycling, but some things just don't need to be reused. I can't believe that time is being spent on news channels telling people that they shouldn't reuse condoms. Let's go to WQAD News Channel 8 for the report, please. The CDC recently tweeted a reminder to the general public.

Condoms are known to help protect you and your sexual partners against sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancies as long as they are used properly. Leaders of the CDC say washing or reusing condoms does not fall under that category. Whatever the reason for reusing them may be, the CDC just wants to make sure you're using them correctly so you're not putting yourself or your partner at risk.

Life is a spoof. None of this is real. This is all the more reason to move into this gated community called the Faithful Black Male Association. Brothers is out here making the STD rates go up because they're reusing condoms. Condoms are one-hit wonders, bro. Condoms are vanilla ice. Condoms are Sir Mix-a-Lot. Condoms are Trinidad James.

Okay, they give us that one jam and you keep it moving, okay? Condoms are not career artists that are going to stand the test of time. Now, am I missing something? Yee, has a man ever reused a condom on you? I hope not. Guys in the room, raise your hand. Anybody ever reused a condom? Envy, you haven't used condoms in years.

Nobody needs to ask you. You're supposed to tie it up and flush it. Tie it up? Yeah, like tie the condom? Envy, you haven't used condoms in years. Nobody needs to ask you. You're supposed to tie it up and flush it. Tie it up? Yeah, like tie the condom When the sperm is inside, tie it up and flush it. Out of the toilet? You guys haven't used condoms in a while. Anyway. You don't tie it? Condoms are not a t-shirt

from Target. Like a whatever room? Okay. I really need y'all to know this. Condoms are not a t-shirt from Target. You don't wash them and reuse them. You don't hang them outside to dry like bed sheets. That's like reusing the toilet tissue that you wipe your ass with. Can you imagine saving the toilet tissue you wipe your ass with and then using it again?

If you are scrunching your face up thinking about that, scrunching your face up like Fantasia hitting a high note, then you should feel the same way about reusing condoms. Or tampons. Ugh. Evie, you don't use tampons. Relax. Evie, you don't use tampons. Relax. Bro, you screamed like you used tampons.

I'm not gonna lie. That grunt was like you know what it feels like to put a tampon inside you. I wish you could rewind right now. Why did you do that? Please give everyone reusing condoms the sweet sound of the Hamilton. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day.

You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. It never fails to amaze me that working with this guy for eight years, he just finds new ways to be beige every day. I talk about reusing condoms. He didn't say nothing. I talk about reusing toilet tissue that you wipe your ass with. He didn't say nothing.

Soon as he says reusing tampons, You ain't even get that angry at Deena DeMero. That's disgusting. You didn't grunt like that before you walked out. My gosh. This is crazy. I'm not your guy's friend. All right. Thank you for that donkey.

Today, when we come back, Taylor Bennett will be joining us. Taylor's going to be here. You can grunt like that if you want. But Taylor Bennett will be joining us. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

Last time I saw you saw you i was like we got to get you on the breakfast club yeah yo yeah yo i was actually uh talking to my girl about that when we found out that we were doing this i was like yo i can't wait to get on the show because i know we had talked it out right yeah and now time the timing is great because you have the new ep be yourself

Morris, you can rest in peace. Damn, that a***** got the best in me. Used to leave McDonald's with empty bottles and good gelato. When it's hot Chicago, we moving like the clutch off the throttle.

Now it's less McDonald's like models coming from Colorado. If I painted my story, my canvas is over, couldn't follow. Used to stay up late nights wondering what I couldn't borrow. Now it's hella world, hella yellow girls in my bed and twirl so much more.

So thank you. That's off the EP. It's not pre-styled.

Yeah, I didn't say he didn't sound good. Man, you know, Charlamagne gonna challenge me. You know what I'm saying? I appreciate that. He didn't, Charlamagne didn't think he was good. He was in his pocket, like, you know, but the bars were there. Did you start rapping after your brother? Man, uh, no, no.

I think I started rapping probably a little bit after him. I'm younger than him, you know what I'm saying? But, you know, we started at the same times, kind of freestyling around, you know, like fundamentals. Has there ever been an interview where someone didn't mention Chance the Rapper for you? It was almost this one. I didn't say it that much. I'm just f***ing with you.

It's my brother. You know what I'm saying? He's the biggest independent artist. Do you hate that though? Man, no. He's the biggest independent artist in the world. You know what I'm saying? I can't hate.

You know what I'm saying? Like, I really come from, you know what I'm saying? We really come from nothing. You know, when we get to this light, you know, they want to see us go head to head. We ain't going head to head. You know, that's my brother, man. Go ahead and do the positive. And it doesn't help that y'all look alike.

Right. It don't help. You know what I'm saying? You see, my teeth though, you know what I'm saying? But yeah, you know what I'm saying?

I mean, y'all sounded like two even when y'all rapped. So when you make music, do you try to make music that's different than his, so to speak? Man,

you know what? I spent a long time of my life doing that. And I can't lie. You know what I'm saying? As an artist, I spent a long time, you know, looking at my brother or somebody that was life doing that. And I can't lie. You know what I'm saying? As an artist, I spent a long time, you know, looking at my brother or somebody that was just doing it

and trying to not sound like him. And I remember my biggest album, Broad Shoulders, my dad told me we were in a car, we were on a ride, and he was like, I was talking to him about this stuff. He was like, man, you know what? Let me tell you something. Stop trying to not sound like him. It's like, that's your blood. We got almost the same vocal box, you know what? Let me tell you something. Stop trying to not sound like him. It's like, that's your blood.

Just be yourself. We got almost the same vocal box. You know what I'm saying? Write what Taylor Bennett wants to write. That's what I think separates you from Chance. Your life experiences versus his. Similar but different. Similar but different.

Yeah. All right, now, when you came out on Twitter as bisexual, you said that you hadn't even told your family yet. They found out at the same time as the rest of the world found out. They did. Stop breaking news like that via Twitter, man. Tell your family first, Taylor. Were they a little offended?

Like, well, you couldn't tell us first? Man, I don't think they were really a little bit offended. My pops is right here in the corner. You know what I'm saying? I don't think they were offended. I think they were really happy for me. You know, I got parents that are, you know what I'm saying? They're great.

And, you know, they're visionaries more than anything. And I think they were all happy. You know, I think they could tell that there was something, you know, in my life, you know what I'm saying, a part of me that I hadn't shared. They probably already knew. Yeah. I mean, my dad, my dad told me, he was like, you know what I'm saying, when I came out, he was like,

man, you know, I kind of had, you know, some clues, but I'm going to let you do your own thing, you know what I'm saying. My dad, you know, he's a great man. He never, you know what I'm saying, really he lets you do it yourself, you know, I kind of had, you know, some clues, but I'm gonna let you do your own thing. You know what I'm saying? My dad, you know, he's a great man. He never, you know what I'm saying? Really, he lets you do it yourself. You know what I'm saying? You gotta learn. Was it something you always knew? Or was it something where you had an experience and you were like, okay. Well, you know what? I'll tell you, honestly, it is something that I definitely always felt a trace of. But I'm gonna be honest too. You know what I'm saying? I grew up on the south side of Chicago. You know what I'm saying? Most of my too. You know what I'm saying? I grew up on the south side of Chicago. You know what I'm saying? Most of my friends, you know what I'm saying, were in gangs and shit.

You know what I'm saying? Most of my, it wasn't acceptable, and I'm not going to act like it was. You know what I'm saying? And that's why I came out when I was 21. And, you know, that's actually the reason why I'm even making this project now is not for me because I already lived through this. You know, as an artist, that's why I want to change that because, you know, I do have the platform, you know what I'm saying,

to come up here, y'all, you know, to talk about that. One of our producers was happy that you came out. You were in his girl's DMs. And he was nervous that you was going to take his girl. He can still take his girl. Yeah, he still can. Wait, yeah. He can still take his girl.

I can take his girl. I'm bisexual. Thank you, Charlamagne. Genius in the room. That's something that I also just wanted to state. I know you guys are, you know what I'm saying, very politically correct. You guys know. But just for the platform, you know, to be bisexual means to like girls and to be attracted to males as well.

Yeah. So just to state that, I know, you know what I'm saying. So don't breathe easy. How'd you know what I was saying? Because I heard Daniel whispering to you earlier. I just heard him say, my girl, and then Taylor. And I was tight, because I wasn't really paying too much attention.

But I put two together. Wait, wait, wait. You said, what happened, though? What'd she say? This guy right here, you damn it. I was in your girl's DMs. Yeah, just a little bit. Oh, man.

Well, still be careful, Daniel. This year, my guy, Daniel. He don't know. He don't know. Man, when you hear that she was in somebody's DMs, and you're starting to get famous, that's when you get scared. She was single at the time.

She was single at the time, so she did. Oh, I would never holler at your girl right now. Especially not on the practice club. You know what I'm saying? Can you just spell it, man? He was showing me the heart emojis and everything. Sometimes it's hard for me to... And then the gold hearts.

Yeah, you are. You know what I'm saying? She's not single now, right? Lock it in, Dan. Don't worry, I'm not that kind of guy, man. All right know what I'm saying? She's not single now, right? Lock it in, Dan. Don't worry, I wouldn't. I'm not that kind of guy, man. All right, now I want you to dispel something

because sometimes I'm the only girl in the room and we have these discussions. A threesome, right? Yeah. These guys would tell me a threesome is two girls and a guy.

Two girls and a guy. But then from your perspective, it could be... I think it could be two guys and a girl, too. A threesome could be any of that s***. That's not true.

You said two guys and a girl is a trend? Yeah. I feel you any of that shit. That's not true. You said two guys and a girl is a train? Yeah. I feel you. All right? Now, that's some very accurate shit that he just said. I think that, honestly, it don't matter if you're a girl or a dude. If it's three people doing some shit, it's a threesome. That's why it's called a threesome.

Now, if you want to break that shit down like that, it's definitely a train. If you got two dudes going in on a girl, it's a train. Now, if those two dudes is getting it in, that's a threesome, though. What's your album cover yeah yeah and how you came up with the concept you're in your um underwear yeah naked rainbow underwear and it's like a birthday celebration as well it looks like right yeah so like i uh just said a little bit earlier you know um the day before i turned 21 um last year i came out as openly bisexual now I've been living in this hip-hop world and the hip-hop community since I was like 14.

You know, I've been rapping. I've only been living in the LGBTQ community for a year. So, as an artist and as a person, I don't like to speak on things unless I really know about them. And, you know, if I want to say that I want to make opportunities for a community, I have to know the community first and I want to know where we're headed.

And I gotta know where we're headed. Young Thug is on your project. Why is he such an inspiration to you? Man, Young Thug is an inspiration to me because Young Thug is literally one of the most creative, day one, groundbreaking sacrifices, not just to be bi, not just to be gay, but to be yourself and to be weird and to be different. All right, we got more with Taylor Bennett when we come back.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Taylor Bennett in the building, rapper from Chicago, also Chance the Rapper's brother. Have people treated you different in the industry since you came out? No, man. You think hip-hop is still very homophobic or you think it's getting better? I think that people make a misunderstanding

of thinking that there's a disconnection with the LGBTQ and the hip-hop community, and there's really a huge disconnection between the LGBTQ community and the black community. Hip-hop is gay as hell. Hip-hop is gay as f***. There's so many gay people in hip-hop. Hip-hop is gay as f***.

Yes. But also, know that there's a lot of black people that never got the opportunity like me to come out. That's what I'm trying to do is I want those motherfuckers to feel comfortable. You know, when I knew you was coming, I was like, all right, I want to talk to him, but I don't want to talk to him too much about Chance,

and I don't want to talk to him too much about his sexuality because I don't think that's who he is, you know? So I look at the album. When I hear you say I'm an Afro-American, bisexual, half-ass, I'm like, okay, I got to ask you. You got to ask me. But, you know, that is something, that's what I wanted to talk about, you know what I'm saying? I want Charlamagne to say that, you know what I'm like, okay, I gotta ask you. You gotta ask me. But, you know, that is something, that's what I wanted to talk about,

you know what I'm saying? I want Charlamagne to say that, you know what I'm saying? That's a big thing for me, you know what I'm saying? I got friends that seen you speak at HBCUs and all types of shit, you know what I'm saying?

So, you know, not just the role you play out here, but the role you play outside. That's a big deal for you to say, you know what I'm saying? You rock with that, you know what I'm saying? So thank you, man. How much of your identity is rooted in your sexuality, though? I don't think that much of it at all, you know what I'm saying? I think man how much of your identity is rooted in your sexuality though I don't think that much of it at all you know I'm saying I think that actually

mainstream media is so distracted by that it's hard to even get to the music right but at the same time that's something that I knew scrolling down iTunes is like man you see the cover art before you hear the music you know I'm saying and if I'm gonna go out and I'm gonna talk about it then be all about it you know I'm saying like I said what you see is what you get you know I'm saying if I could say that I'm a bisexual having on the tape i should be able to wear rainbow speedos on my uh cover album and be cool with that because if not then i'm not i'm not real no man i don't really get that many gay jokes you know what i'm saying but at the same time you know i'm saying i'm black like every joke was a gay joke growing up like no you know what i'm saying

like you know what I'm saying? It's not really a thing now. You know, like, people coming at me, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, I'm a Bennett. You know what I'm saying? At the end of the day. You know what I'm saying? And you can't play us some kind of way because we not like that.

You know what I'm saying? So, you know, I'm going to stand my ground. But, you know, at the same time, man, you know, you can't let stuff like that bother you, man. People going to talk. They going to. But, you know, I'm going to talk, you know what I'm saying, on The Breakfast Club. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to be here with y'all.

You know what I'm saying? You know, that's what matters to me as an artist. You know what I'm saying? I can't really even worry about that. Was there ever a point where Chance was not blowing up so crazy because he's blown. So you said to yourself, you know what? Maybe I don't want to do this. Yeah, man.

It's the worst pressure being in this show. I'll tell you, man. I'll tell you all the time. I literally, I won't lie to y'all, man. Because I, and if y'all look at any of my other interviews, I always I'll tell you all the time. I literally, I won't lie to y'all, man, because I, and if y'all look at any of my other interviews, I always say all this happens because of God. I was literally crying on the way over here

because I've had so many people tell me that I wouldn't be sitting here. I've had so many people tell me that I couldn't play Jimmy Fallon just because my brother is chance. You know what I'm saying? I thought about it, but, you know, on the way here, you got to think about God because God's the reason why I didn't give up. 100%.

It wasn't chance. It wasn't my dad. It wasn't... It was like, man, look, this is you. You know what I'm saying? And what God got for you is for you and nobody else. So if you chase this s***, it's not for you, God ain't going to let you have it.

And if he lets you have it, you're not going to like it. You know what I'm saying? And I know that I'm happy doing what I do every day. So that makes me feel confident. You know what I'm saying? That, you know, I'm moving the right way. You never, you never seem to be like, uh, like trying to use him to get on either though. Like you ever, you ever want to be part of the save money crew or anything? No, man, no, man. You know, man, my whole thing is like, I'm trying to be Taylor Bennett. You know what I'm saying? At the end of the day, I know that's, that's what's going to come down to. That's where the checks going to go. You know what I'm saying? At the end of the day, I know that's what it's going to come down to.

That's where the checks going to go. You know what I'm saying? I don't need none of that confusion. I don't need none of this group shit. Because at the end of the day, if I'm working, I'm going to want to get paid. All that. You know what I'm saying? Are the major labels knocking at your door crazy now?

Nah. I was just literally thinking about this yesterday. I was like, labels might just know at this point that my brother has made so much money. Why would I ever sign? Like, if I was to sign a deal, like, why would I sign with them? I haven't talked to Chance in a minute, but they always say Chance is not really independent. Chance is really independent.

Chance has no backers. He has no private investors. He has no parent labels or companies. He has an LLC that's set up as Chance the Rapper. That's his. You know, just I know for a fact, no backers, none of that. I think they talk about, like, the deal with Apple was like... Well, no, but you got to know that that was the first deal

that Apple ever did for a free project. So there was no money really involved in that, right? But what you guys got to also understand is that Apple made that deal because it was a groundbreaking independent artist that labels weren't, you know, paying radios to play his music on. And this was the first way that he was going to break through. And he knew that and they knew that.

And they knew that streaming was coming in tune within that year, right? That's when that s*** was phenomenal. Streaming wasn't counting at first. Streaming, I mean, well, not even just that it wasn't counting, but you guys know that is when streaming, like, started to become a big thing. So I think at that time they realized that this kid that is the king of SoundCloud, this major streaming platform that to them might not be where they want to go. They're like, let's use this kid. Let's go. But it's not just Chance. It's Drake. He did something with Apple.

He had a deal. Frank Ocean had a deal with Apple. But what you guys do got to know about Chance's deal is it's the only deal and it's the only project in the history that is free on Apple. So they couldn't even check the analytics of it. They couldn't even see how many people downloaded. That was not even eligible for those things because of the fact that it was a free album. But also know that Chance made them put some free shit

on their platform. Ain't no major label signing you. Yeah, ain't no major label. You know what he's talking about. You know too much. You know too much. I might walk out of here and get fucking kidnapped. Some shit.

Walk around the corner. Taylor, what's your DMs looking like nowadays? Man, you know, my DMs look very crazy. Daniel wants to see them. He would like to see them, just to make sure. Just for some reassurance. Just to make sure. Yo, my DMs look crazy.

Anything good in there for you? No, yo, you know what? I was just thinking how, like, discomfortable it kind of feels now to go through my DMs and not know what I'm going to see since I am openly bisexual and anything and everything could be in there.

And, like, when I'm going through, I try to just look for the blue checks, like, to see, like, okay, maybe this will verify my... trying to talk to me real quick. You know what I'm saying? Because it does blow up just look for the blue checks, like, to see, like, okay, maybe this will verify my f***ing trying to talk to me real quick. You know what I'm saying? Because it does blow up. But at the same time, honestly, I do read a lot of my DMs, and a lot of them are from

my fans. And believe it or not, I do have a lot of communication with them because a lot of them actually are coming to me to tell me about, like, stories. You know what I'm saying? About the project, whatever it is. I won't get into it. But, you know. How do women react to that?

Man, you know, I'm going to be honest with you. You know what I'm saying? I'm saying women, I can't say all women, but you know. How do women react to that? Man, you know, I'm going to be honest with you. You know what I'm saying? Women, I can't say all women, right? Because that would be wrong. But, you know, the women that I'll talk to, you know what I'm saying? They really appreciate a man that can be honest. You know what I'm saying? A man that can be himself.

A man that's not afraid. Especially, you know, in this day and age in 2018 where, you know, every **** feel like you got to have dreads and sag his pants. You know what I'm saying? Be like, yo, you know what I'm saying? That's how I feel about it. That's what it is. You know what I'm saying? Be like, yo, you know what I'm saying? That's how I feel about it. That's what it is. You know what I'm saying? Does it make him nervous at all?

I mean, maybe they think you might cheat on them twice as much. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know. But, I mean, like, you know, and then I also, you know, I can't say, you know, I can't really speak, and you know, I think there's a lot of things in society, even at this point, that make people just uncomfortable, and that's why I'm here doing

Be Yourself, so I don't want to say it doesn't. You know what I'm saying? But what I will say is that every, you know, any girl that I have ever we've had that conversation, so you know, it's something that, you know what I'm saying, is going to come up. You know what pissed us off up here when Chance proposed to his wife and people were mad at him for that?

Yo, he proposed in my grandma's backyard. I smacked somebody. I smacked somebody, like, over that s***. Because, like, people do be saying s***. I actually missed that whole thing. Somebody else told me that, like, that was, like, a whole thing. And I actually missed it probably because people was commenting on my s***. Man, he's rainbow underwear.

You know what I'm saying? So I missed that s*** on my whole thing. But, you know, I was, man, honestly, man, I was proud. You know what I'm saying? Like, to be able to come, to be able to reach these worldly heights and realize that they're not really s***, and then be able to

come back to where your birthplace was and be like, this is where we need to get married because this is the love and this is the energy that I want in our relationship. I said s***. It's gotta have some significance. and like, be talking like all that shit,

but they be the same shit on Instagram, like with helicopters spinning and like propose, get that lame ass shit out of here, bro. And I thought she was very happy.

Like, that's the main thing. She was happy. She was happy. She was thrilled. That's what matters. If she loves it, we love it.

Yeah. And Chance don't get no shit. That's just how he is. You know what I'm saying? So he, you know, like people be saying shit, like he's one of is, you know what I'm saying? So he, you know, like, people be saying s***. Like, he's one of the, you know what I'm saying,

most side, don't give a f*** what I say type people I know. All right. Well, thank you for joining us this morning. Taylor Bennett. Taylor Bennett. 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. Happy Monday. Yes, happy Monday. Back to the work week. I'm the only person that feels like that in the room. I'm happy.

Jesus Christ. You could have said it a little calmer. Happy Monday. Happy Monday. I'm happy. Happy Monday. We're back from Bermuda. It's Monday.

I'm energized. All right. Well, let's get to the rumors. Here's a blast from the past. Eric Benet. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Well, Eric Benet

has a PSA for you. He wrote on his Instagram, Rap artists, if all you rap about is killing black people, degrading black women, abusing drugs, materialization, living a low life, you are not an artist. You are a black face for white supremacy. You are being used to help destroy your own people.

He's got a point, but he has to understand that art is a reflection of life, and a lot of those conditions that those rap artists are rapping about were created by white supremacy. But when you know better, you should do better. So I understand. I can see both sides, basically. But he you know better, you should do better. So I understand. I can see both sides, basically. But he said if all you rap about is.

So I guess if that's all you rap about instead of other things, too, that's going on, you know. Yeah, but it takes people time. Especially when you first coming out. When a lot of these artists are first coming out, that's all they know is a reflection of their environment. So they're just telling those stories. Because sometimes people rap about love, relationships, politics. There's other things you could throw in the mix.

I mean, listen, when you know better, you do better. So he is right on that end. All right, now let's discuss Slim Thug. He did an interview and he weighed in on Ciara's relationship with Russell Wilson. Now, here's what he had to say about Ciara going from somebody like Future to then dating Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson. Do a woman who used to talk to Future really want a Russell Wilson? I don't believe

it. I think it's all financial stability. He's super, like, no hate. I bought his shoes the other day for the sugar daddy slim outfit. I have no personal issue with him or her. He's just like a square. Wow. Who's a square? Russell Wilson? Yeah. Why you call him a square, man?

I guess what he's trying to say is that how does a woman go from dating a future to dating a Russell Wilson? Well, he has since backtracked and apologized and said, I know I came across as a hater. Here's what he had to say. First of all, I want to apologize to Russell Wilson for saying that he was lame and corny. Really, I didn't mean that. I was trying to say good guy versus bad guy swag. I believe if you like street dudes, you like street dudes. You know what I'm saying?

I think that a woman would do that for financial stability and, you know, for the better of her kids or a better, you know, side of life as she grow older. But I don't think that's initially in her heart who she really, you know what I'm saying, feel like she want to be with. That's a young thing, too. When you're younger, it's fun and exciting to date street dudes. But as you get older, you're like, all right, let's be serious about life now.

Yeah, I mean, square is subjective. I mean, just because I don't have any face tattoos because I don't drink lean doesn't mean I'm a square. You know what I'm saying? I would personally advise all these kids to square up. No, I'm kidding. I would advise all these kids to square up. Be square as hell. You know what I mean? A square up. No, I'm kidding. I would advise all these kids to square up. Be square as hell. You know what I mean?

A square means getting good grades and dressing horribly. Doing the right thing. Becoming a very productive citizen in our country. Square up. You know, I had a conversation with the girls on lip service, and we were talking about would you rather date a police officer or a drug dealer if those were your two options. And what did they say?

Everybody said a drug dealer. What about you, Charlotte? You need new friends. What about you? What are you talking about? Would you rather date a police officer or a drug dealer? I would rather date a police officer. Yeah, that's what I would think. Because I know how drug dealing is. Drug dealers

all end up in jail or dead. So it's like, why would I want that temporary lifestyle when I can just be with a police officer and get those benefits for later on in life? That's all you care about. Sierra wrote, cool. A man that's God-fearing, a man that carries himself as though you are in his presence That's all you care about. Sierra wrote, um, cool. A man that's God fearing a man that carries himself as though you are in his presence. Even if you're not a man that is honorable,

a man that you can grow with and learn from a man that treats people with respect. A man that puts his family first, a man that makes you laugh, a man who understands the importance of financial responsibility, a man that's compassionate, a man who's confident and wants to see you succeed, a man who sees beauty in your scars. And she said

repeating the same bad habit over and over again is a form of insanity. There comes a point in your life when you know better and you have to do better. You owe it to yourself. It's just that simple. Hashtag level up. Hashtag my nigga's still a square. You just said... Y'all put a clue to Bob's squares.

He's not a square, man. Leave him alone, man. The man plays football. He does his damn thing. He works hard. He ain't no damn square. I don't care, man. I'm happy for that brother. Hey, at some point in life... If that's what y'all call square, fine. At some point in life as a woman, you just want to be treated well. Why the cool guys ain't got no shape, though?

What do you mean? What do you mean? You want them to have more hips? Man, shut up, man. You said no shape. What kind of shape do you call them? Oh, God. They call the corny, lame guys squares. What do you call the cool hips? Man, shut up, man. You said no shape. What kind of shape do you want? What kind of shape? Oh, God. They call the corny, lame guys squares. What do you call the cool guys?

Rectangles, triangles, circles, no shape. What kind of shape you looking for, Russell? Man, shut up. What does he want? What would you like? A Coke bottle? All right, DC Young's lie. I don't know why I'm coming.

He's turned it into quite the square. He actually bought his mother a house. Nice. And that was pretty awesome. Check it out. It's yours. Don't, don't, don't, don't do that to me. It's yours.

Y'all don't do that to me. It's yours. I got y'all to hear it now. No. This is the end. Y'all got to hear it, baby. Salute to DC Young Fly. Drop one of Kool's bombs for that young man.

It's a lot of people I love seeing growing up and D.C. Young Fly is absolutely one of those people because he took such a non-traditional route to get where he is and people used to always clown social media comedians and social media stars and D.C. Young Fly is absolutely living his dream. So drop one of Kool's bombs

for D.C. Young Fly again. I love watching him. I love watching Jess Hilarious. Of course, we see where Cardi B is going. I just, I thoroughly enjoy it. Absolutely. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.

All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. And shout to Revolt. We'll see you guys tomorrow, all right? Everybody else, the People's Choice Mix is up next. Let me know what you want to hear. 800-585-1051. And again, shout to everybody out in Bermuda.

I had an amazing time. We almost took off today, too. Envy was trying to pretend to miss the flight. You snitched on us. That's why I didn't. I ain't doing all that. And then he kept blaming it on me. They would be like, oh, y'all can't stay for this and that, for the boat ride.

Envy would be like, listen, it's up to you. If you want to stay and make it happen. I'm like, how is it up to me? Ain't no radio station in Bermuda. I set it up with an ISD in line and everything. They do have one.

We could have just broadcast it from there, but you messed it up. I'm responsible. You're responsible. All right. Well, anyway, over the week, we just heard a lot of soca,

a lot of reggae music. There was a reggae versus soca party. A lot of afro beat. So I just wanted to get on the afro beat joint this morning. Okay. The guy's name is DeVito, right?

One of the biggest afro beats artists. He's just dope. He's one of my favorite songs. You're about to play One Love by Bob Marley. Stop it. I'm not going to play One Love. So we're going to get that on this morning. I just feel like I'm in the Bermuda.

I'm in the island mood. So hopefully you can close your eyes and just ride out with me. Close your eyes. Not if you're driving, guys. Do not close your eyes. Salute to all the islands. Salute to... Where you from, Yee? Montserrat. Where you from, Envy? Dominico. Salute to Anguilla. That's where I'm from.

You're from there. You're from South Carolina. That's where I am. Here's to 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.
