You see how when you cut that off, you realize you're blocking your own blessings? Yes, and it's so true when they say sometimes you're laying with the one that's blocking your blessings. Man. Well, I'm really happy for you. I wanted to get off my chest that, you know, he's on child support right now. I didn't personally put him on there because of the divorce. They put him on there. But I hate when fathers try to make it seem like it's the mothers that are keeping them away from the fathers.

He hasn't seen her since, like, Christmas Eve of last year. That's disgusting. Yeah, and he chose that. He chose that. This is his seventh child, and everybody's like, why didn't you take him? I don't feel like I should take you to court to force a relationship. You should know how to be a father. That is true, but you should have taken him back to court to get more child support money.

Why not? Well, that, but they were saying about the visitation. I'm like, if I take him back to court, that's forcing a relationship. Why am I making you be a father? If you don't know how to be a father by now, I don't know what to tell you. Right. Well, thank you for calling in, Mama. And thank God you got out that relationship.

I appreciate it. Thank you, guys. You guys are doing a great job. Much love. Thank you, Mama. Marcus! What's happening, man? Good morning, Breakfast Club.

Marcus, what up, man? Get it off your chest, Marcus. Yeah, man, all I'm trying to do, man, I'm trying to give my wife a shout-out this morning, man, really. I know she's sleeping and everything, but it's our chest, Marcus. Yeah, man, all I'm trying to do, man, I'm trying to give my wife a shout-out this morning, man. Really, I know she's sleeping and everything, but it's our second-year anniversary today, you know what I mean? I'm just shouting out,

straight out of Duval, where I'm from. Bro, you're not planning this right now. I always say the craziest people come from the Bronx and all of Florida, but you sound real crazy this morning shouting your wife out while she's asleep. What's the point? That is true. Her friends would tell her.

Who knows? You don't know that. Are you at least recording it to play it back later? No, I'm not recording it. I didn't know. Hit voice memo on your phone right now, please. Record on your phone, please. Hit what now?

Oh, my gosh. Hit voice memo on your phone. But listen, her friends will tell her. I heard you get shouted out on the radio. That's what it's for. What's her name? You didn't even say her name, bro. Her name is Lisa.

Her name is Lisa. How about just play it again later? How about that? Man, shut up, man. Goodbye, man. I don't want to think everything revolved around them. Goodbye, man. You know what I'm mad about? Charlemagne gave us a challenge. First of all, how'd you just cut his man off while he was trying to say

happy anniversary to his wife? He didn't know what he wanted to say. But it's second year. And then you hung up so you could talk about yourself. God damn, baby. He didn't know what to say. Jesus Christ, you are selfish. He didn't know what to say. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good know what I'm saying. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Yep, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. We have a special guest in the building,

national recording artist. Comedian. Stand-up extraordinaire. Movie star. Keep going. They said he wouldn't be back. They said he wouldn't be back. They said I wouldn't be back to the Breakfast Club,

but God! Had different plans. Hey, man. Hey, man. Hey, man. Hey, man. What's up, baby? Little Duval is here.

I'm out here. I'm out here, baby, living my best life. Listen, one song can change everything. Come on, man. Come on. Change the narrative.

Did you really understand the power of music before Smile Bitch? Honestly, I knew the power of music, but I didn't know that the song was going to do what it was going to do. I thought it was going to be like just another song I do, like Killing With The Shoulders or something like that. But this song here, it just kept going and kept going. And then Envy did call me like, hey, man. Switch this.

Switch this, do this, and you got a hit. He said, clean it up. And I wasn't going to clean it up because I usually don't clean my stuff up, but I wanted my daughter to sing it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Because she likes it, and she goes to school, and they were singing it a little bit, and I was like,

all right, let me clean it up for my daughter. So I cleaned it up, and I'm glad I did because this thing is popping now. Smile, bitch. Come on. Bitch is a word that people would say is a derogatory term to women, but they don't seem to find it derogatory. I don't think it's just toward women. It's not towards women. It's towards

everybody that's tripping. Smile, bitch. Why is you tripping? Life is great. You have a very zen-like approach to life. You don't let too much stress you. You can't, man. Me and him talk all the time. I guess it's weird to hear him asking you these questions like you don't know you I'm like, yo, I said, I'm like a man. I'm in the studio. Let me get you back. I said, what? I was excited. Hey, and what was so funny,

I could hear you on the phone and I said, I'll call you. You say, Lord! I said, you can't tell me you're in the studio. You're in the studio.

Ain't nobody even in the car with me. I'm talking to myself. Yeah, man. I was in the studio. Because I've always did music. I mean, I got in the game

doing a song with the Buy a Girl a Drink in the club. So that's always been my thing. I put out a song like once a year just for my fans

and I do it on my shows. It's just this one kept going. So this was kind of like your secret, really what you really wanted to do in a way, like do a whole album? No, I just love, I don't sell music.

I sell energy. But you want to do a whole album now. I love, I love. You don't sell music. No, I don't sell music. I sell vibes. You see what I'm saying? That's just a part't sell music. Nah, I don't sell music. I sell vibes. You see what I'm saying? That's just a part of my vibe. Like, everything I do is just

I'm not just boxing to one thing. He got recording all these lines. But do you, so you want to do a whole album though, like a whole project? I'm doing a whole album, you know. I sound like a record deal, you know. And I see Empire must have gave you a bag. You went and got that headline.

You went and got that Safaree headline. No, this ain't no Safaree. That ain't real. You ain't got that shit. Get it? It's all me, baby. It's all me. You got a good headline.

I still got gray hairs and everything. I ain't putting no paint. This ain't no paint. Yeah, man, like I said, man, I'm putting this album out. We ain't asking you about no damn album. Yeah, how did you just talk about gray hair? I didn't ask you about no goddamn album. He just how did you just... We was talking about gray hair. He just changed the whole topic. I just see rappers talking about...

I'm just doing what I see... I'm regurgitating what I see rappers doing. That's what they do when they don't want to answer certain questions. Like, yeah, so yeah, I got this album coming. Yes, I got this album coming out. So tell us what songs you have done so far, then. I got a bunch of them, you know. I mean, y'all gonna be surprised when there's actually good music.

Just, I think, what the ecosystem needs. As soon as you start taking yourself serious as an artist, that's when they gonna flip on you. I'm not taking it serious. Like, I'm just, it's me. It's just, I'm just having fun. Like, it ain't gonna be nothing but fun. It ain't gonna be no deep s***. It ain't gonna be no no, I'm trying to goddamn

be us around here. Any love songs? I thought, um, Living My Best Life was a love song. No, man. Dropping D*** Off is your love song. Oh, yeah. Dropping D*** Off. Okay.

Yeah, that's a love. That's a baby-making song. People love that to this day. I've seen a lot of people have babies from Dropping D*** Off. Could you sing a little bit of it for us?

I'm dropping D*** Off. Oh, I'm dropping D*** Off. That's how it go. You can go get it On iTunes right now I feel like you Were snooping This **** is just funny

Like I'm really up here Signed I just signed At 41 This **** funny You gotta give me **** hope Why you giving me

**** hope Yeah Don't Hey Don't get no hope Like I'm setting the bar For me, not for you. All right, we got more with Lil Duval.

When we come back, don't move. 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. Duval is here.

Charlamagne? You said on Twitter, you said, I really don't think humans want unity for real, for real. We like beefing with each other. It's in our DNA. I think I came up with that when I was high, and I was just looking at the world, and I was trying to figure out a better way

to make things better for us as a whole, and I realized we just like that. We're just animals. We just think we're not animals because we're human, but we really are just like any other animal. Do you ever write things on Twitter and then be like, man, that didn't come across right. Let me delete that that I don't delete it but sometimes I'd be like yeah I probably sometimes like when you read when I when I tweet I tweet in high I see it and

then I won't be realizing that they reading it had whatever going on in their life like if like saving as I say bitch is stupid, and then somebody, they just went through something with their dude, and he just called him a basic bitch, they get offended by me. I don't say nothing

out of shock or trying to piss people off. It's just really, I'm just really just speaking my mind, and it's not coming from no bad place. It's just, I'm just talking.

You know, I feel like you should delete your old tweets. To me, I think everything on the internet is like our Bible, and I want, even when I'm gone, I want people to go down and read it

because it's the story of my life. Even the stuff that I might have been wrong at the time, at that time I might have was wrong, but I grew out of it. That's what made me who I am. But they not letting us grow no more. They trying to hold us to who we were 10 years ago. Well, that's on them. That's true. That's on them. I'm not going back and forth with them at the end of the day.

I'm chill. Did you find a tweet by them calling people retarded or something? I didn't use that word. What did he say? I said mental illness. Oh, no. It was something about mental illness. I said mental illness. Don't use that word.

I learned that word don't work out. Oh, look at him. There you go. I learned that. What else you learned? Hey, man. I learned that word don't work. Ain't nothing wrong reading that politically correct handbook.

Yeah, yeah. I'm going to do it right now because I need this song to keep going. He must have deleted it because I don't see it on here. I don't delete. No, I didn't delete it. See, now, here's the thing. You deleted that post. You said, yes, I deleted that post because I just realized most of y'all are really slow.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Which one was it? Which one was it? See, I told you. I knew you deleted it because I was trying to find it. I did delete that one. I didn't see it. I deleted that one because the song was just popping. it? See, I told you. I knew you deleted it because I was trying to find it. I did delete that one. I didn't see it. I deleted that one because the song was just popping.

And I said, nope. Nope. Do what you got to do, man. Don't let them trick you off the streets. They won't trick me off the streets. They're trying to trick us off the streets, man. And you said, I apologize to all the mentally ill people. I have to be more sensitive to y'all problems.

Because that is true. I did have to be more sensitive. I did think it was an insensitive post. That's why I was surprised. Because I realized I was talking to people that's like us, like, because we always, and it probably was the time I was talking to Charlamagne, I was like, they so stupid.

People so stupid. And then I hung up the phone. I was like, man, people so ****. And so that's probably was I was expressing myself, and I'm thinking I'm talking to my friends, and I realized, okay, people are stupid. So if they stupid, they're going to get offended by it. Just one thing you said,

mental health is a big issue in America, but yet all these mentally challenged people are voting. Do that make sense? It don't make sense to me. What is the difference between mental health and mental challenge? Like I suffer from mental health issues. That's why I go to therapy every Friday.

You're throwing yourself at me. Can you stop? Can you stop? Go ahead. Can I get me? So now you're the victim now. me? Now you're the victim. Victim. Go ahead, victim. Now you can say,

I'm slow, too. And then you didn't like Bow Wow talking about his mental health issues openly. No, no. Don't do it. Don't do it. Smile is in store. All right, y'all.

Thank y'all for having me. Yeah. All right, y'all. I appreciate y'all supporting me before she started talking. Putting in the rumor report. Uh-uh.

Uh-uh. Hi, you wild. I do want to say this. You can't talk no more. Were you always a good singer? No. It's a whole nother question.

Could you always sing from when you were young? Or did you like I sing good when I'm high You know when I'm high My voice just Goes to a whole nother level I don't think I can sing

It could have been higher, but you gave Envy the wrong BDS version. I didn't know. He said, send me the record. I texted to him. I'm thinking that's what people do. I texted him the record. I texted him the song that I had. I'm like, text him to him. He's learning. All right. He's learning. Yeah, that's what people do. I texted him the record. I texted him the song that I had.

He's back. He's back. Tekashi 6ix9ine. He's back. King of New York. Almost the watch video so far for Breakfast Club. Nah, listen to me. When I was here, I said I was going to be the most watched interview that you guys ever had.

And did I lie or not? Was Birdman an interview? Or was there two men? Birdman was a moment. It was a moment. Yeah, so you got that. Know that. But let's be for real.

That's your most watched interview too. Not because I made it that. Real quick, right? So why you don't do that for other people's interviews? He want to troll you. I want to troll. Worked out. Listen, we heard you on Angie interview though.

Yeah. And you said that we don't like you or we was trying to tell you that and that wasn't true. The whole interview, did we talk about any music i tried you know i started the interview with you got into it no no no no no no no no no no no no it was right there right then and there the beginning of the interview spit your gum out i said i which he did my gum out and it was just straight How do you got the name Takashi? Now everybody know At the beginning of my rap career

Nobody give a f*** about my name Takashi You know what I'm saying? Let's get into what we really want to talk about Why all the beefs and why that Because we're going to give the people what they want But the whole thing It just started What about this charge?

What about this? What about that? What about that? It was really no music We don't really ever talk about music like that during our interviews. So it's not just against you. We do, we do. Because people's music be trash, but my fire. But do you think it's the music?

I mean, music's decent, but do you think it's the music or everything that's around it that makes people gravitate towards you? He said it's decent. Bro, I'm hot. We could all attest to this. I remember last year. Do you think people would have think I would have made it this far? Hell, I'm hot. We can all attest to this. I remember last year. Do you think people would have think I would have made it this far?

Hell no. Hell no. They're like, yo, I'll give that kid six months. He was one of them. People looked at me like the catch me outside girl. You know what I'm saying?

It's still early, though. It's still early. It's early, though. Nah, I wouldn't say that. He's proven a lot, though. He is. Listen, he's 11 for 11. Or 12 for 12.

What is it? Right now, I'm 10 for 10. 10 for 10. 10 for 10 on the billboard. And I got a project dropping November 23rd called Dummy Boy. Everything on that f***ing project is a hit. But here's the thing. Like I told you earlier, we've never rooted against you.

Only thing we've ever said is move a little cautious because a lot of things that have also happened to you over the year could happen. How much money have you spent on legal fees this year? Too much, right? Yeah, like half a million. That's what I'm saying. That stuff could be avoided. My thing is, Ray, I remember the first interview we spoke about, who's the hottest artist in New York City?

It's you and Cardi. Out of me and Cardi, and shout out to her, who do you think is the hottest artist in New York City? I still got to go with Cardi, my brother. Was you at Powerhouse? Yeah, yeah. There's nothing else to talk about.

You had the best show that night. No, no, no. I wasn't about to show. The response? It's reactions. It's the response. Envy was DJing.

And, bro, you could feel the stage shaking, bro. Like, it was, the stadium was coming down. You know, part of it for you, Tekashi, is that...

But Cardi was headlining. And you were, you were surprised. Yo, but, yo, yo. But that's what I want to get to. That's what, no, it for you, Tekashi, is that... But Cardi was headlining. And you were surprised. Yo, but that's what I want to get to. No, no, no, no, no. Cardi was headlining. But that's what I'm going to get to. You can't take away from her.

Bro, when I perform... Yo, listen. And this was written in Forbes. It said, when I touch that stage, it didn't matter who the headline was. Like, yo, bro, this is what I'm saying. When I get on stage, I feel bad for whoever goes on after me in any circumstance. Now, for real, though. That was the best moment at Pow Wow.

That was a great course. I give you that. I'm not going to hold on to that. Hot 9, take notes. But what about the fact that a lot of the venues, because you could be doing these huge stadiums and you've done festivals. I think I could sell out the MSG. Yo, bro, I haven't done not one show in New York.

But does it make you feel, when you see a venue like that and the reaction you get, does it make you feel like you need to stop with the controversy so you'd be less of a liability so people let you in those buildings

so you don't have to sneak in? You know what it is? I don't think it's controversy. I think I'm the definition of somebody actually doing what they really want. You know how when people, when artists be like,

I do what I want, you really don't do what you want. I don't have no sense of. But sometimes you say things and you feel bad that you said it. Yeah, like yesterday on the shade room, some girl said something to me. And you were like,

I'm sorry, I was mad. What'd you say? Some girl on the shade room was like, it said 6ix9ine. She was like, who cares? It said 6ix9ine fires his whole team and something. And she commented, we don't care.

I said, get off your phone. You're on your nine-to-five. You're going to get in trouble. Shea Room posted clap back season, and I felt mad bad. You did feel bad. 6ix9ine has empathy? You know why? Because before rapping, I was a busboy, and I used to clean tables.

I'm like, yo, I can't bomb on her because, you know what I'm saying? I just was in my feelings. Yeah, he said I was angry. I would never want you as a busboy. I feel like you'd spit in my like, yo, I can't bomb on her because, you know what I'm saying? I just was in my feelings. Yeah, he said I was angry. I would never want you to bug me. I feel like you're spitting my food. Nah, I'm just saying. Were you a good busboy? You rub it on your d*** and then serve it to me.

But you know what? See, I didn't like 6ix9ine at first, right? Just because of what I seen on social media. I was like, this guy's a d***. Yeah. But then when I got a chance to talk to him and see him around kids and how humble he is and taking pictures. I see them go to a volleyball game to see Kev's daughter play volleyball. And even how he interact with the kid backstage.

I was like, this kid's a good kid. Two things can be true, though. You can still be a d*** and be a good person. I'm like that. I'm a d*** and a good person. No, you're not. Some of it is. What you mean?

Which one am I not? You're not good. Shut up. Some of it is trolling. And then some of it is a humble doing. And when I seen that side of him, I was like,

this kid is a good kid. But you know what people don't understand? As much as people downplaying demonized the guy 69's character, who really does more for the community

than the guy 69? Since the last time I've been here, I donated close to a million dollars just to the community. Not to no foundations, just going on the street

and giving out money. But we was looking for you earlier this week to help us with our... Well, you didn't donate to our. Not to no foundations. Just going on the street and giving out money. We were looking for you earlier this week to help us with our... You didn't donate to our charity yesterday. They were just telling me that y'all had some change for change. Raising money for people with mental health issues. And I just heard about it and I was like, oh, because I've seen cast through the mental health

thing and how incarceration got them. But I just heard about it that y'all had an actual change for change thing. I didn't know about it. It's not too late to make a donation. Yeah, we should have reached out. Don't say yeah like that. It's a constant six nine.

It's exchange. You can't take cash. I'll make a donation right now. We can't take cash. I'll put it on my card. No, don't give it to him. I want $100. You had to actually do therapy though, right?

Yeah, I did therapy for two years. No, matter of fact, I did therapy since I was like 14. You think it helped you and you learned a lot of things about yourself? Nah, hell no. I was just going there because I didn't want to go to jail. Oh, they made you do it? Yeah.

Were you actually paying attention? I go to therapy every week. It's good for you. Nah, yeah. I ain't going to say what my... Yeah, I just enjoyed it. But do you think it helped any of you? How were you before you started going to therapy?

Look, this is my thing. Like, I always told therapy, nobody can help you find happiness. Nobody can help you find a way. You got to find that within yourself. But it's not finding happiness. It's kind of understanding certain things about yourself. Exactly. I think some people go there for, like, a sense of God.

Like, you know what I'm saying? People go there, like, damn, I need therapy. Like, you know what I'm saying? I need someone to talk to. My sub-man, I was depressed when my pops got murdered. And I had, like, post-traumatic stress and all this shit. And I was like, yo, nobody can help me get out of this but myself. Me talking about it with some lady that I don't know from a hole in the wall,

she's getting paid. You think if she wasn't getting paid, she would be there? No. You know what I'm saying? This is a job. I just had to go out there and really just find myself and find happiness. Some people need grief counseling after stuff like that, though. Because he got killed in front of you, right?

I was there after. I got there moments after it happened. How do you think that affected you as a man? It affected me. That's my pops. My pops are superheroes to me. So if somebody just takes the superhero away Like you know what I'm saying It's just like damn

Like you know Your father always makes you feel like He's a superhero Like I'm invincible Like so that was like Oh this is real life Ignoring it don't make the feelings go away I didn't ignore it

Yo bro I was like 180 pounds I was like 13 years old I was a little fat And I dropped weight like to 110. I was skinny. I didn't shower. I ain't gonna lie.

I didn't shower. You was depressed. Yeah, I was doing bad. I wasn't eating. My mom thought I was dying on her. She got this lady come from Mexico to rub these oils on me. It was like bad, bad. All right, don't move.

Why did you fire everybody, 69? Yeah. And you canceled your whole tour? Yeah, I canceled everything. There's so much money out here to be stealing. You know what I'm saying? You got to get out of here. You figured people were stealing. That was the reason. Yeah, a's so much money out here to be stealing. Like, you know what I'm saying? So people were stealing from you. You figured people were stealing.

That was the reason. Yeah, like, a lot of people think I'm on cocaine. Like, they like, yo, you just paranoid. But I know. Like, you know what I'm saying? How'd you find out they were stealing from you? It's crazy. My rate right now for shows is $100,000.

So they're like, yo, we got these 15 dates for you. Right? These dirty-ass booking agents, right? Like, yo, we have $60,000 for this, this, that, and the third, right? These dirty ass booking agents, right? Like, yo, we have 60,000 for this, this, that, and the third, right? I'm like, yo, why so low? Why is it 60K? Listen, Tekashi, we're cleaning up your name

right now. You know these venues are scared of you. Because right now, as we all know, these venues don't want nothing to do with me. They are afraid of me. They're like, yo, this kid is a loose cannon. He's a liability. I told you that was going to happen. Yeah, of course, but I don't yo, this kid is a loose cannon. He's a liability. I told you that was going to happen, right? Yeah, of course.

But I don't care. I don't stop my money. It's not stopping my money because I'm still get booked. But anyway, let's get back to it. Right. So how you found out

they were stealing? So these dirty promoters, right? And this is MTA booking. They dirty. I go out and they're like, yo, you know, these venues are scared of you.

You can't go here. And most of the money, the reason it's 68 because most of the money, the reason it's $6,800, because most of the money is going to security and the local police because they don't want you there and they feel like it's, so we have to pay for it. So I'm like, all right, I want to clean my name. Let's get it.

Let's get started. You want to know what these dirty promoters did? So I'm in L.A., right? Just say I meet with some people, right, that day about their s***. They're like, yo, we booked this show for you. The day of the show was yesterday. They're like, yo, come to, uh, uh, you got a show here. I said, I'm not going to the show.

Why are you not going to the show? It's $60,000. Like, my rate, everybody know my rate is $100K and over. That's like, no, we actually gave you way more than that. They call me and say, are you crazy? We just put the 80,000 front end in. Deposit,

so it was 160. Wow. So I'm like, hold on, what? They like, you're the promoters? Called the people

who booked me for the show, remember these dudes? And they said, yo, his mom lives at this address. Gave him my address and said,

if he doesn't do the show, go do something to his mother That's crazy Wow And People was telling me this On the phone yesterday That's crazy They said

Yo 6ix9ine I'm not gonna lie to you They just called me Gave me the address To your mother's house And they told me Go do something to her If you don't do this show

So I'm putting two of them together Why would they want to do something To my mother I talked to the guy I'm like yo How many shows you got? He said, yo, I got most of the shows on this thing. I said, all right, how much? He said, we got you for like a couple dates.

You just signed to 3.6 million. I said, what? He said, yeah, you just did these couple of dates, but we didn't lowball you. It's 3.6 million. For the 15 dates? For 15 dates. I said, so it's not $300,000?

Wow, what the hell? Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me. Get your goddamn strap. So I'm like, my body's shaking right now. I can imagine. That's a lot of money to get short of, bro. $3.3 million? I don't know how people think they'll never get cut.

No, but that's what I said. They said, you know how it works, right? They give the front end $300,000, so then another $300,000 comes, which is $600,000. Right. So it's $3.6 million. What are they pocketing? $3 million.

$3 million, wow. How do people think they'll never get cut? I don't understand. I thought you said one of the front ends was $80,000, though. That's what I found out. Yeah. You know was 80, though. That's what I found out. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? That's what I found out.

So if you give me 60,000 all for a show, right, and the front end alone is 80, you know what I'd do? I trust people so much that I just say, you know what? I just show up to the show. I never sign no contracts. I don't do none of that s***. I got people around me to do that s***. Can't trust people like that, 6ix9ine.

You got to bring your hands up. So look, so now, they're like, yo, they're panicking. They're like, yo, we're going to tell TMZ this. We're going to tell TMZ that. We're going to, we're going to, all this, just make so much s*** up. They was trying to blackmail me. Like, yo, if you don't do the show, we know your personal life. We know all this s***.

We're going to tell them this. How'd that make you feel? What'd you feel like you needed to do? I low we know your personal life. We know all this. We're going to tell them this. How did that make you feel? What did you feel like you needed to do? I low-key feel like that's extortion. That's what it is. So now listen to me. I don't want to do the tour. I'm telling these promoters, I don't want to do the tour.

Just give the money back. What money? Have you spent it already? They said this deal was locked in a couple months ago. Did you feel for your mother at all? Yeah, of course I feel for my mother. But you got to understand, when a booking agent calls somebody and say,

yo, here's the address to his mother, go do something after you don't do the shows, you know the people are looking at it like, what type of booking agency is this? Yeah, that's crazy. So, it's just crazy. Let me ask you a question. The shooting in L.A.,

was that having to do with it as well? When you were shooting the video and they shot up the house, was that part of that? Kanye and Nicki Minaj. That house was so big,

I didn't even know a shooting happened. I was on the other side. That's got to be a scary feeling though that when stuff like that happens, you don't know

where it came from. Bro, I don't care about that. Like me, bro, shootings happen every day where we at right now. Not where I be at. And you got the kind of money where you can come where I'll be at. Where you at?

I'm not telling you. I don't want you to type around it. My thing is, right, and let's just get off that dirty booking agency to the L.A. situation. And let's bring it to the New York situation, too. The restaurant, yeah. I learned the hallway, right? And I'll give you props. Every blood is not your blood. just put that like that right correct

there's a difference between being a gang member and just being a dirty 80% of this industry is dirty 90 you know you know what it is you know what it is being a grown-ass man, right? You got kids. You're a grown man. Mattress on the floor. Baby's like, daddy, daddy, milk, milk. And you'll be on Instagram watching me.

You're worried about a kid with rainbow hair. You're not feeding your daughter. She running around like, daddy, my stomach, her milk. These is dirty bloods. You got to get your life together. You can't be worried about the next man. But listen, no, it's not provoked. It's the worst thing in the world is jealousy.

People look at it. I'm blood. Why is he jacking my s***? S*** not a gangster. I'm a rapper too. Why do it work for me? You know what I learned? You go farther in this industry saying you're actually f***ed with that.

Yeah, support. Then saying I don't f*** with that because you look like a hater. Listen to me. You're right, but why would I support you if you tell me suck my d***? Suck what? I don't f***ing suck my d*** every day. Remember I told you. Remember I told you.

Remember I told you. You said your father used to tell you. If somebody says suck your dick, you're ready to die, kill. Kill. Yeah. Have I been worried about any of those things lately? No. But they've been trying.

They've been trying. They've been trying to get you. They're trying. Six, you're a very likable person, bro. Of course. Like, you're funny. You're entertaining. But then it's all the other bulls**t that causes people not to like you.

But I can't sit there and satisfy the world. But you don't got to tell them, suck it, f**k you. Nah, I know that, and that's understandable. But listen, I'm not here to satisfy people. I'm a package. He's not going to change for nobody. I get that. But do you have to taunt them?

That's all I'm saying. That's what I was trying to tell you since last time. You don't have to taunt people. That's my thing. You don't have to invite it, is what I'm saying. You was in L.A. with, what, 12 security guards, whatever. You dancing in between, break dancing. Yo, I think they hate me.

You should not have to move like that. How much did you spend in security this year? Oh, my God. Come on, man. That's what I'm telling you. You don't have to do that. Nah, you got to understand. I feel like Ariana Grande when I'm with my security.

Yo, bro, I can do whatever the fuck I want. You can just have Ariana Grande when I'm with my security. Yeah, I hear. Yo, bro, I can do whatever the f*** I want. You think that's how Ariana Grande feels? He was doing break dancing in the middle of it. I was like, that was crazy.

I can do whatever I want, bro. Right. I'm not getting rid of my security. What about other things? Like not even being able to just take your daughter somewhere just the two of you. Like you can't even move like that.

Bro, are you crazy? Me and my daughter can do whatever we want. But you be concerned about the safety of others. You don't want to bring your daughter out, just the two of you, because you're concerned about her, not necessarily just yourself. No, yo, I feel like the internet really makes people feel like a different way. I'm in my own shoes, so I see it from my perspective. All right, don't move.

We have more with Tekashi69. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

If I get caught peeing on the street, right, today, walking out of this building, you know what's that going to do? That's going to make headlines everywhere. If two minority, in-the-hood, African-American kids

get into a shootout, it's not going to make the news. Everything that happens, I could pick my nose right now, right? Ew. God damn it, Tekashi. Get with the hands. Listen. Give him a tissue. Get the tissue right here, bro. God damn it, Takashi. I think so. Get with the hands. Listen. Give him a tissue. Get his tissue right here, bro.

Now, is it true you can't talk about certain things in your songs? You can't say Trey Way is all that true? Or that was just... I don't even want to... Yo, you got to understand. Can I say it?

Yes. Trey Way is not even a thing. I created that. I thought he was a person. No. It's like when 50 Cent keeps promoting, get the strap, get the strap, get the strap, get the strap, get the strap, get the strap. What people saying?

Everybody is gone. Get out of my life. Get out of here. Everybody? Everybody. I thought you were signed to them through whatever, so you're not at all. Nah, I am signed to Elliot Grange.

Let me ask you a question. The guy who allegedly kidnapped you or whatever earlier this year, they say they caught him. They say he was a former associate. Did that have to do with you cutting everybody off? Listen, when I got kidnapped, the opportunity I got out, it was like God was sitting right next to me in that car. When I

got out, I was bleeding. I was like, yo, like, my life is about to end. I ran. I went to the quickest place where I could find help. I'm like, yo, I need an ambulance. See the media outlets yo Yo Takashi69 Cause I didn't cooperate with no police

I didn't say nothing Cause my thing is That's what I wanted to talk about Remember when I was like yo Nothing gonna happen to me I'm untouchable remember It happened Was that humbling

No it happened I knew how strong my team was I'm untouchable. Remember? It happened. Was that humbling? No. It happened. I knew how strong my team was. Nobody could touch me. To this day, nobody could touch me. The only way you could touch me is if you were already next to me. Yeah, if he was in your team. Got you.

Now, listen to this, right? I'm reading an article. I'm like, yo, I'm not even going to address that. People around me, they know I ain't talking. Do you know Anthony Ellison? I saw his an article. I'm like, you know, I'm not even going to address that. People around me, they know I ain't talking. Do you know Anthony Ellison? I saw his set federal. That's beyond us now. It's not state.

I got federal agents sitting in front of my house. It's beyond us. There's nothing I could do. There's one thing I fear in life. No, two things. I'm not going to say. I fear God, and I fear the FBI. Only two things I'm fear in life. No, two things. I'm not going to say. I fear God and I fear the FBI. Only two things I'm scared in life.

So my thing is, right, when I read those articles, I'm like, damn, trying to make it look like I read it. You know what I'm saying? People didn't even think it was real when it happened. Yeah, they didn't. They thought I was trying to promote Fifi. You know what's so crazy? I left my house because Nikki, I'm on the phone with Nikki. And she's like, can you tweak this part because I don't like this part.

I said, all right, man. Anyway, I leave the house and that happens at 5 a.m., right? And it just so happened that Fifi was coming out that day. Right. That's why people didn't believe it at the time. Was it payback from an ex-crew member? I don't, yo, bro. He's not snitching.

Yeah. It just so happens that, look, to where I'm trying to get to. He's not snitching Yeah Like it just so happens That look To where I'm trying to get to He's touching Charlamagne again Yeah I don't want academics Texting me bro So look

Did that mess up your trust issues moving forward? That situation. Hell yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And yo, you gotta understand, like, instead of me hiring a professional

actual security agency... True. You hired your peoples. I'm like, yo, let's put y'all in position. Let's get y'all to her. Let's stop putting y'all here and put y'all here.

Let's better y'all lives. And it all putting y'all here And put y'all here Let's better y'all lives And it all came down on me It was just like Yo when you try to help somebody There's so much you can help Before they just bite your hand But now how do you move Because they know everything about you

Yeah you just said The people that can get to you Are the people that would Know everything about you But you got rid of all of them But they know how to get to you Yeah like my mom Don't even got my phone number

The first thing you know they'll say is that you got money and you changed. Yep, I don't got no problem with that. You're not blaming other people for your issues, though, right? Nah.

Yo, you gotta understand, when that shit happened to me, I didn't blame nobody. I charged it to the streets. But you did expect them, if they're your people, to make sure that was handled. You know what I like so much about it, though? That even when something bad happens to me, it comes out in my favor. Everybody was in scrambles. Yo, the kid that took the most shit.

Where's the jewelry? We want to see people passing around. They were scrambling. They just wanted a story Some people were so mad that they was like, you know, what's fake? Was all the jewelry what happened to that cuz I mean everybody was expecting it looking for it That's why people thought it was fake you be real street.

Something with Kanye What was you doing with it? Was that Kanye's album? Your album? Nicki album? Nah it's my album That's on your album? Is that song gonna make it?

Yeah you wanna hear it? I'm playing for you right now Alright We played on the radio Are you gonna reshoot the video? We already shot it I thought everybody left When the shooting happened

I thought they said Kanye bounced And Nicki never showed up. Yeah, no, she was doing another shoot and she was just running late. But thank God she was running late. Because that was her dressing room. Yeah.

And then TMZ tried to flip it like that was Tekashi's room but they switched. Like, come on, get about it, dirty. What do you think, well, last time you was here, people,

and I don't have a problem with it, but people seem to have a problem with you saying n***a. Because they say a Mexican should not be using the word n***a. Bro, who's going to stop me? Like, I can see those comments all the time. Who? But the reason I...

Why can't I say it? Like, I can say it. Like, it's the way I grew up. My culture is I grew up in Bushwick, Brooklyn. It's my vocabulary. It's the way I talk. You live right by me. Yep.

You go to school. you probably went to school around, how many Spanish kids walk around like he and my f*** was talking like. Everybody does. Fat Joe says it, Fat Joe says it. Do not make it a me thing. I'm not Post Malone. I'm saying n***a. I can say n***a.

Now you also said you're going to f*** up 50 Cent. Yeah, I'm washing that s***. What's your relationship with 50, man? He don't pay his child support bills and my mom wilding over here. gonna f*** up 50 Cent? Yeah, I'm washing that s*** when I see him. What's your relationship with 50, man? Did y'all go back and forth? Nah, like, he don't pay his child support bills and my mom wildin' over here.

How you and 50 get so cool, man? Extortion. Hell no. Nah, me and him just cool. You know, when I first met 50,

me and him was talking and he was just telling me, like, yo, that don't give a f*** attitude reminds me of him. Absolutely. And he was just like, yo, that don't give a f*** attitude reminds me of him. Absolutely.

And he was just like, yo, nobody can stop you, little a**. And I said, don't call me that. I knew you were going to say that. We'll give you authority to say that word. Do you really dislike Trippie Redd? Nah. Me and his girlfriend had a talk about him. He's cool.

He's so rude. Let me ask you this. Do you ever think sometimes with these women that anybody might try to set you up? Because being with different women,

I know a lot of times that's the end. Nah. My baby mom's got me. She makes sure I'm good. Because I think laying around, a girl might be like,

okay, this is what we're going to do. I'm going to get with Tekashi and then I'm going to call the dudes and then y'all going to run up. You don't ever even think about that? I think that's what happened at the video shoot in L.A.

I sent some girls home because they didn't make the cut. They were like this. Why'd you hire the girls that are suing Cardi B? Was that planned? That was them. All right. I mean, that's what. Yeah, I know.

Oh, okay. I know. Oh, shit. I had no idea. I don't even know their names. I believe you. For whatever reason, I believe you on that one for some reason s***. Bruh, I had no idea. I don't even know their names. I believe you. For whatever reason, I believe you on that one for some reason.

Is this industry everything you thought it would be? Yeah, fake and dirty. Pretty much. Pretty much. But I'm at the top of it. And a year ago, I wouldn't think I would be here. You're at the top of the fake and dirty. At the top of the fake and dirty.

That doesn't really sound right. But you know what's so crazy? That I'm happy where I'm at. I proved a lot of people wrong. Like I really like stood on top of my game and

kept it consistent. And even with all the drama, shout out my lawyers. You don't understand. You know everybody thought I was going to jail, right?

Definitely. Did you think you were going to jail? Hell yeah. I was crying. I'm like no. Like at this point in my career, yo, imagine right now this interview would have never happened

and like three weeks ago I got sentenced to three years. That would have been crazy, right? Now you have to have jail stories, right? Yeah, him sticking his shit up his ass. You don't want that for yourself. You never hid anything in your ass? Are you crazy? Nothing ever entered there, ever.

I don't even want to talk about that. A lot of people were thinking that about you at one point. Yeah. They can think what they want. As long as those records are selling, I'm a girl. Whatever happens. Whatever you call me, I'm that. I'll be that.

Don't move. We have more with Tekashi69 when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ En more with Tekashi69. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Tekashi69 in the building.

Are you going to do a tour now, even though you canceled the other one? Are you putting something else together? Yeah, if somebody doesn't steal my money. I think, but see, but you named three big agencies, man. Like, we got to find a way to clean that up, to make amends. You know what I understand? So you can go on the road. Look, that was a Live Nation venue, a Prudential Center, right?

With Powerhouse. You know when they see that type of reaction, they feel stupid. Like, yo, like, and shout out to them. It's just executives that literally don't know the culture. They're not inside because they worry about the money. Culturally clueless motherfuckers. I agree with that. But you got to understand, yo, when you go to a 6ix9ine show, there's nothing like it.

And I'm telling you at all. We agree with all of that. No, but I'm saying, so going back to the Live Nation and the Carol Luce's and the WME's, they don't know because they're not there. They don't go to the shows. They don't go there. They just read what they read about you. Type, type, you got to show your head, deposit.

And we spoke about it, Sam. They do the least of things. It's a business at the end of the day. But that's not what they see. What they see is shooting at the bar. Yeah, they see all this. They see all this. And I'm sure they have to get insurance for you.

No, of course. But my thing is, my tickets go. Well, you did promise if this video gets to 10 million... Listen, we can clean this up, baby. You'll come back up here and apologize. The 69 rebrand can be crazy. But you can't just apologize to everybody. You have to like.

The best apology is change behavior. 10 million. You said when this video goes 10 million. All you got to do is stop the beef. And listen, the funny is funny. When you clowning is funny. It's just when you suck my. See me when you see me.

Test my gangster. That's all you got to cut out. The clown and the jokes. That's fine. That's always going to be suck my. I always look at it like because I do really like to. I am Brooklyn and I'm and the jokes. That's fine. That's always going to be suck my d***. I always look at it like, because I do really like Takashi. I am f***ed with your mother. And I'm happy for you.

Word is born. You're talking about suck my d*** with my mother's lips. Yeah, I was talking crazy. No, no, I'm going to be honest with you. That song is hard. Yo, what you said, the dude at the other station was foul. What I'm saying? When you said suck your d*** with your mother's lips,

and he was like, F his dead mother or something like that. That was foul. That was a little crazy. I'm not even gonna lie and I don't even like that guy. Yeah, so to finish my statement I'm saying I like Tekashi. I support it.

You from Brooklyn. I'm from Brooklyn and I love it. But then sometimes you do things and I'm like, oh man, I like him but I hate that he did that.

Yeah. It's cool. You don't think you're gonna do a fall clown and his dead mom? I clown his dead mom? I believe so, yeah.

I think so. What'd I say? I think it was suck my d*** with your mom and let her see my mom was dead and you said something about after your mom or something like that. Yeah, let me Google it to make sure. Yeah, Google it.

It was something like that. You don't remember? Nah. But you know what's so crazy? That... What about being on probation now? People die. Being on probation now,

being on probation, do they monitor things like that, like social media for you? It's freedom of speech. You can't really say... But when you're on probation, it's not things like that, like social media for you? It's freedom of speech. You can't really say. But when you're on probation, it's not the same freedom that everybody else has. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think it's called interim supervision.

It's like hawk eyes. Yeah, so what you say, I'm sure they can be like, okay, you violated when you did this. Yeah. You can't satisfy everyone. Like I'll tell them, my probation officer knows that I'm an entertainer and the way I feed my family is... I literally built a whole empire.

Like, yo, you gotta understand, like, a couple months before I came and spoke to you guys, you know I was literally on the floor in my mom's house, right? Like, me and my baby moms was laying on the floor. We was...

We didn't have it good. Like, it wasn't good. Things change fast. And it changed so it good. It wasn't good. Things change fast. And it changed so fast, and I'm just one person. You got to understand, I'm just one.

I went through five different teams. This year? Yeah. Damn. And it's not me, because I'm going to keep taking this shit up. I told this to my best friend. He almost cried.

We was in Italy, and I said, yo, and I love my best friend. He does the most for me and I said, yo, and I love my best friend. Like, he does the most for me. I said, yo, I don't need you. Somebody can replace you and take your job. I'll replace all of you. And I felt bad saying it.

Yeah, that's kind of foul. But listen to me. I felt bad saying it. But you got to understand, when you have so much on your plate, I don't have time to wait on nobody. Is that you riding with me or you not? Yo, bro, everything I do is a reason i take steps like i know where i'm going every time like it's not one little thing i do that i don't know what that is what consequence that holds like you know i'm saying

like yo i said yo let me go on the breakfast club again let me go back there i call my label i'm like yo set that up i want to go there but, yo, set that up. I want to go there. But you already did it. Take me there. I want to go. Damn, who hated on us? Somebody hated on us. It's the album about to drop. That's right. And you let them know this was your highest viewed interview ever. I said, let me go back and

talk to them. Because you know what people love to see? People love to see progression. You remember when the teacher always asked you, where do you see yourself in five years? Where do you see yourself in 10 years? My teacher used to tell me, you're going to be dead on jail in five years. That was back in seventh grade.

They would say my mouth was reckless. My teacher probably watching this interview. They watch my last one. They're going to watch this one. When I called my label, I said, bring me back up there. I'm doing this not for me. It's for them. One thing we got to work on as a community is showing kids, right? that bring me back up there. I'm doing this not for me. It's for them.

One thing we got to work on as a community is showing kids, right? Because kids are usually who's going to watch this, right? They go on, they're like, yo, you know when I was in the Nobody, I'm like, damn, they got a Breakfast Club interview? That's crazy. Like, they lit. You know what I'm saying?

That's how people look at it. There's kids that's going to watch this right now and they'll be like, damn, I will never be up there. You got to understand, you're already Charlamagne. You're already Angela. You're already Envy. That's how people look at it There's kids that's gonna watch this right now And then be like Damn I will never be up there You gotta understand You're already Charlemagne You're already Angela You're already Envy Y'all forget that there's people out there

That's just like Damn Y'all are superstars Y'all will never look at me I was one of those kids So when these kids watch this interview They like Yo

If I work hard And I really say F*** everybody My method is S suck my d***. No, no, that's the wrong method. No, but listen, My method is, yo, keep your head to what you want to do. Like, my thing is, like, yo, it don't take years. It might take years for some people, but, yo, it take a couple of months. Like, it take weeks.

It could happen overnight. Yo, I felt fame overnight. Like, once that Gummo record hit, I knew already, yo, the only person that could stop this is Daniel Hernandez. Because if I stop right now, all funds. My daughter don't eat. Nobody eat. I'm not going to stop this for who?

But it's hard work. It's hard. It's hard work. It's hard. No, no, no. You can do it without the bulls**t. It's not hard. Matter of fact, I take that back.

It's hard once it starts feeling like a job. Once you start feeling like this is a job, success starts going like this. That's true. Because you have to have fun with it. I'm having fun right now. That's why if I stop saying suck my ass, if I say stop testing my gangsta,

I'm having fun. I'm giving y'all what they want. I'm satisfying y'all. You don't have to do that. I promise you people don't want that. Well, it's like already in my thing. Nah, man. You ever know those toys?

You're growing every day. You know those toys where you push his stomach and it just has a saying? Yes. It's already in me. Don't become a caricature of yourself. You know what I'm saying? You know I'm coming out with a Netflix show, right?

About yourself. Yeah. That's dope. So let that be on the show. But in real life, you can change everything. You can be like, you know, I don't want to do that. I'm growing now. And you're telling your best friend, your best friend loves you regardless.

He ain't going to move. He's not going to win He ain't going nowhere. Where you going? You don't tell him to suck it. Nah, I never tell somebody. Nah, matter of fact, we talk to somebody. Because you can't pay for loyalty. You know what I'm saying?

You can't pay for loyalty. Even if I'm against you today, it's not because of. Like all the security guards and stuff you're paying, they're not loyal to you. My son's Sam Loyal, right, Sam? Sam says shut up. Yeah, until you stop paying him. Sam says suck my **** now. But like your best friend, he's probably that one person in your corner that you said,

I can replace you. He's probably that one that is not there for the money. He's there because he genuinely loves you. So if he's telling you something, he's telling you because he really feels that way. I'll boom that. Well, listen, man. Yo, you going to buy the album? I'm going to definitely get the album.

Tekashi 6ix9ine, ladies and gentlemen. November 23rd. November 23rd. And I just want to tell you the biggest thing is stop telling people suck your d*** because one day somebody's going to jump in your jeans. One of these n****s is going to try you. You know what's so crazy? One of these n****s is going to suck your d*** and then what?

You know how I know I improved since the last interview? Why? Because y'all don't got a pastor here. No, it's just I don't like wasting God's time. 6ix9ine. No, d*** in your nose. Nah, but I cleaned it. I had water right here. 6ixasi 69. No, it's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not.

It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not.

It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not.

It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not.

It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not.

It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not.

It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. It's not. 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, bitch. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Yes, Donkey of the Day for Monday goes out to everyone who is reusing condoms in these streets. 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'm a happily married member of the fateful black male community. 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 torron 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 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,oms. 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. When the sperm is inside, tie it up and flush it. You guys haven't used condoms in a while. Anyway. You don't tie it? Condoms are not a t-shirt from Target.

Okay. I really need y'all to know this. Condoms are not a t-shirt from Target. Like a water balloon? 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,

and you're 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 to 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 we could rewind right now. Why did you do that?

Why did you do that? Please give everyone reusing condoms the sweet sounds of the Hamilton. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. 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 dina de mero you didn't grunt like that before you walked out my gosh this is crazy i'm not you guys friends ej envy angela yee charlamagne Tha God We are The Breakfast Club We got a special guest in the building Justine Scott What's up guys?

How are you? I'm good, I'm great, I feel great Have you ever dealt with any mental health issues? Oh, 1000% I feel like a lot of people just Today, especially with social media And opinion just being thrown left and right. People just that you didn't even really ask for.

It's kind of hard to not experience even just like a slight bit of like depression. Yes. And it's like crazy because the moment that I decided to speak on it, I think it was like National Mental Health Awareness Day and I made a post about it and just seeing like a lot of my fans and people like reaching out to me

saying like thank you for the post and telling me their stories and even every once in a while like I'll just go and I'll be like how are you guys feeling and just to see the comments

like rolling in like actually like I'm depressed. I hate my life. I hate this. I hate this. Like just it's it's just letting me know

that we're in such a fragile time as Not even just a generation as a world It's so crazy because everyone's like spread love and spread light, but we never really do it And I think it's more even though it's cliche. It's more important now than ever and to check on people, too Yeah to check on people and not just to say yeah, you should check on your friends actually do it It's like mean it if I, how you doing, Justine? When you tell me what it is, I really got to take that in.

Really listen. Listen with the intent to understand. But it's also everyone's first instinct to just be like, I'm good. Yeah, that's your answer always. Like, how you doing? Even if you're not good. I'll say I'm okay. If I'm not like the best, I'll literally be like, I'm cool.

I've been better. I agree with you. But people don't front no more, boy. You be like, how you doing? I'm f***ed up, man. F***ing bad. You know what I'm okay. If I'm not, like, the best, I'll literally be like, I'm cool. I've been better. I agree with you, but people don't front no more, boy. You be like, how you doing? I'm f***ed up, man. F***ing bad. You know what I'm saying? But you know what?

That's the bad part. We don't ask people because we don't want to hear that. Like, I'm f***ed up. You don't. Why did I ask that? Or people want to ask you and expect you to just be like,

I'm good, and then you really tell them, and they're like, okay, well, feel better. I think we just have to, like, be a better support system for each other because, like, times are really, really hard.

And a lot of people are very sensitive. And you have to like, I don't know. You just have to be more aware of the things that you're saying. Recently, you did your build video. And you talked about domestic violence and never thinking you would be in a situation like that. How did that touch your fans? Because a lot of women, as you pointed out have had

to deal with that yeah um obviously we all know that domestic violence is a very real thing but I guess it's not until it wasn't until like it happened to me that I realized how like prominent it was and like a lot of women in my life and just like my fans like they started reaching out to me and thanking me for sharing their story because they never spoke about what happened to them. There's someone that's really, really close to me that's actually been a part of my life and my career since the beginning.

And after me telling my story, she came and told me that she was in an abusive relationship for three years that ended up putting her in the hospital. And I had no idea about that. What happened with you? Were you there a long time? Was it one time? What happened? Well, the relationship, it was

short, but it was very intense. It was about six months. And you know, like in the beginning when guys like being obsessive and like, you can't do this, you can't do that. I love you. Don't go there. What do you wear? Like, you're like, oh my god. Like, he really loves me. Like, he cares. No, he just doesn't want me talking to any guys he's a little bit jealous and those are the things

that you actually have to watch out for in the beginning because there's a difference between like really loving someone and caring about them and then just being controlling and I wasn't able to tell the difference or I just didn't want to believe it and um it got out of hand because I just didn't want to believe that this person who claimed that they loved me so much could hurt me and um even like coming back to like mental health seeing the um reaction from a lot of people like in my life that i like thought were my friends because of who it was they decided to just turn the blind eye and it just really opened my eyes to who people really were. And just like, instead of being angry about everything,

because I already went through that. I already went through the depression, the anger, the confusion. I had to really take a step back and figure out what was I going to do to feel better, to get through this. Why protect him? It's not even about protecting him because the people that need to know, know. And I don't know,

maybe one day it'll come to light. But for me, it's not about revenge. It's not about exposing this person. It's not even about this person. It's kind of protecting other people though. Because if you see another woman, you have to... It is. And that's something that people have pointed out to me as well too.

And maybe one day I will say who who it is that's something you do in your own time yeah that's something i do in my own time it's hard to it's hard to reveal your abuser i've been there i'm there now actually and i think also people's reaction are always like well why didn't you just leave him you know what the biggest and i don't want to get like emotional but the biggest reason why i feel like I won't do it is because I don't think that people would care. I really don't think that it would make a difference. In this era? Yeah.

Nah, they would definitely care. They would definitely care. No, because in rap culture, people don't care. It doesn't matter what the artist is, it's about how talented they are, and they'll still be bumping their music, they'll still be playing their songs, and it's just like, damn, that's f***ed up's up what he did but you know his new album is fire or they might

not even believe you sometimes they feel like oh whatever she just wants attention like it's crazy yeah and they're like i don't there's literally people who've known me before they even knew this person who will look at me and be like oh you're trying to ruin this kid's career but this is a learning lesson for him the learning experience that. That has to hurt for you, though. Every time you hear his record on the radio, it can bring you back to that place. It does. It definitely, definitely does. Have you sought out help or therapy or anything like that to help you heal? Even before this, I was a very emo kid for reasons that I don't really understand.

But I always wanted to see a therapist. I mean, I'm Jamaican. reasons that I don't really understand. But I always wanted to see a therapist. I mean, I'm Jamaican. So like... Wagwan brethren! That's all he knows. A sister to her. A wagwan sister. But even in the black community, it's very frowned upon.

Like for a long time, even my mom would just be like, so you think you're crazy like you want to go see a therapist like what can this person like teach you and then i started to believe like what is this random person gonna like how are they gonna tell me what to do about how do they even know what they're doing in their life like and so i would go i would like make appointments and not go to them i like i hang out with a lot of like spiritual like people do like meditation and tea ceremonies

and yoga and all that stuff and so they recommended for me to go see this. They were like, you know, he's a therapist but he's not just that. He's a reader as well. I was like, you know what? Maybe I'll try that out. It's not like so intense therapy sitting in an office and writing in a notebook.

So I went and did that and it helped me a lot. When you say reader, what do you mean? Like a medium? Like reads the aura around you? What do you mean reader? Yeah, reading the aura around me. The guides around you. Okay, gotcha.

And we did tarot cards and cleansed my energy through this whole ceremony. Was he good? Yeah, it actually really took a huge weight off of my chest. And he said that when I walked in the room, there was literally clouds hovering over me. And I don't know if that's I walked in the room, there was literally, like, clouds, like, hovering over me. And I don't know if that's, like, real or not,

but that's how I felt. Wow. I go to therapy every week, so, you know. I know. I got to check out your, the thing you just did. The VH1.

The VH1. Oh, yeah, that was, that was extremely uncomfortable. I mean, I could imagine. Yes. I could imagine. I'm actually, like, going to go see her

not on television. Jessica Clements. She's really good, and I didn't know how I was going to feel when I sat down with her Not on television Jessica Clements She's really good And I didn't know How I was gonna feel When I sat down You're very brave for that Actually like

I commend you I don't like to call it brave Cause I was really terrified Like I'm one of those people When I'm scared I either face everything And rise up for everything And run

Even being able to admit that Like that you were terrified I think that's very brave A lot of people feel like They need to be tough And they need to like Have this hard shell And that's It's really not what it is I think actually's very brave. A lot of people feel like they need to be tough and they need to have this hard shell. And it's really not what it is.

I think actually showing your emotions is the most beautiful and the most powerful thing. All right, we got more with Justine Sky. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

We have Justine Sky in the building. Charlamagne? What about apologies and atonement? Meaning like, you know, somebody like Chris Brown, for example. Yeah. Like, should that be held over Chris Brown's head forever? It's definitely not something that you forget. I just watched his documentary the other day, too, as well.

I thought it was really great and that he even, like, spoke about it. And I think that a lot of guys that do harm women, they don't speak about it. And I think that a lot of guys that do harm women, they don't speak about it. And that just makes it them even more suspect. It just makes it look like they don't care. Like they're not sorry. And that they'll probably do it again. It's interesting because I had to interview an artist that had

gotten in trouble for that as well. And I was speaking to him about it and just about how he was raised and certain things that he grew up seeing in his environment because he was seeking like, you know, treatment and help with everything that he had done in his past. And he's really young. And I was thinking about like the environments and where boys are being raised. Who are they looking to as a father figure to teach them like the difference between right and wrong, what's going on in the community? And it is what we see in hip hop culture and how they need to learn those things as well. And I had spoken at this panel.

It was a room full of young girls in high school and they were all speaking about different things. And when I tell you everybody in the room, it was like over 100 girls had a story about something that happened to them. Yeah. You know, and it's such a common thing. And they said even other women were treating them like, well, you asked for it. Well, you know, you guys want to hear the craziest thing? Even, I don't know, I guess I'm like sharing a little bit of details. But even like the cops don't even care.

Because in a specific situation, I didn't call the cops, but a hotel called the cops. And when the cop got there, he was like, well, you broke his phone too. So what do you want? You want him to call you an Uber since your phone's broken? And I'm just like, I'm sitting in the lobby

of a hotel crying because this man just launched, like, tried to attack me and the people in the hotel had to, like, save me and this is what you're telling me right now?

I was like, just go. Were you willing to press charges? At that point in time, no, I wasn't. Yeah, and that's why police be like, well, I can't do anything.

And it's hard because we don't want to put people in jail. I think we look at it like, well, I don't want to, because I had a situation too where my landlord had called the cops, and I didn't want to press charges. I was like, I just want to get him out of here. Yeah, that was what I was thinking. I was like, I just want this to be over. Like, I just want to go home.

And forget about it and never talk to me again. I thought the cops automatically had to press charges. No, but the cops automatically have to write a report about it. never talk to me again. I thought the cops automatically had to press charges. No. But the cops automatically have to write a report about it. But I don't think they did. If you don't cooperate, they don't have to press, and you don't want to press charges, they'll just be like, okay, you have to get out of here. And they try to

encourage me to do that, but then I felt like I don't want to be responsible for a black man going to jail. You know, you start thinking all those things in the heat of the moment still. You're still trying to protect somebody. What did your mom say? Isn't your mom like a real powerful woman? Y'all know y'all so tight.

I didn't tell my mom until it got really, really bad. Until I was like, we need to change the locks on the house. And then she was like, are you okay? Are you safe? And then she just was so confused she was just like i don't understand like how this started happening because she actually liked him

like he was living with me and um so she was just in shock and she was like i'm supportive of like whatever it is that you want to do this is what i think you should do but um obviously like it's your decision and i kind kind of went back and forth between what I wanted to do. I didn't know. I was like, do I get him f***ed up? Do I press charges? What do I do?

And then in the end, I just decided to focus on myself. I'm not going to let this person control or get me out of character. And I just decided to put it in my music. What did your friends say? Because you got a lot of people that, every time I see you,

it's a lot of people from the industry that's always around you. You know, industry people. What did those industry people say with you? You signed to Roc Nation. You don't have to keep talking about this if you don't want to. Yeah, yeah, if you don't want to.

No, it's fine. I like you guys. I just think it helps other women. No, it does. It does help other women. I didn't want to tell my friends. Because you know like when you're in a relationship and things are going bad,

you don't want to keep, like, telling your friends because, like, you might go back to them and you might, and then,

but then they hate them and so it's like, it makes it, like, difficult. So, but there was, like,

only one friend that I really told about, like, everything and she was telling me that I should, that I should leave and that I don't deserve this

and why am I even still with this person? She was like, I understand that you, like, are in love with him so it's, like, rough but you really don't deserve this and she, I even still with this person she was like I understand that you like are in love with him so it's like rough but you really don't deserve this and she that's what she just kept telling me and then obviously like when things got out of hand she was like at my rescue literally at my door like like like what's good like I came to get I was literally locked in a

bathroom and she came into my house and like got me out of my bathroom I don't think true healing can begin for anybody until, like, the guy acknowledges. Oh, I haven't spoken to this person until from that day. Oh, never? So he's never... I've seen them. I've seen them. And, again, I get treated like I did something wrong. That's crazy.

I mean, I'm on record, you know, for putting my hands on a woman when I was 17 years old, and I've spoken about that on numerous occasions, you know, and people will try to use that against me now, and I'm 40 years old, and I've spoken about that on numerous occasions. And people will try to use that against me now, and I'm 40 years old, but I lived, I learned, I made a mistake, and I acknowledged that it was a mistake, and I acknowledged that it was wrong. And that you hurt someone.

Yeah, and that I hurt somebody. You know what I'm saying? I don't think this person will ever, ever admit to what he did. I don't think he's, even the people that he's surrounded by, they would never even encourage him to be the man that he thinks he is. Well, he's not a man. Oh, no, he's surrounded by, they would never even encourage him to be the man that he thinks he is. Well, he's not a man. Oh, no, he's absolutely not a man.

I volunteer that information about myself just because that's just some things that you think about as you get older. Like, yo, damn, I hurt somebody. You know what I'm saying? And I don't think that you can ever ask for true forgiveness for yourself until you acknowledge that you may have hurt someone. Thank you for sharing your story. I really appreciate it.
