I was watching Ride Alone yesterday, and I swear I seen Charlamagne on there. You did? Just like a cop. I wasn't Ride Along playing a cop. People, you know, had a nice little cameo.

Hello, who's this? Yo, it's Lee from Nap Town. Hey, what's up, brother? Get it off your chest. Well, I want to get it off my chest as well as I got a question. So I ended up buying a motorcycle and it had some stuff that needed to be fixed. I ain't giving you no money for your goddamn motorcycle. Don't even put your cash app out there for that.

I didn't even ask enough for that. I see where it's going. No. No, listen, listen, listen. So, I mean, I'm kind of heated, like, trying to keep my cool because, like, it was some money I was saving up for my birthday. And it was either vacation or get my bike fixed. So I was like, okay, I'm going to go ahead and get my bike fixed.

So apparently all the stuff that the dude said he did he didn't do all of it so he got me out of like like damn near 2000 and i took it to a different mechanic and he said you know well this pig like this piece is not new this and this and this so i'm just wondering like what do i do at this point like so is it anything i can do can't you sue him can't't you get one of these? Don't they got attorneys that handle business like this? Do you have a contract when you signed it? Is there like what? Do you have some type of written anything? Like I

get like invoices and stuff, but I guess not really necessarily a contract. If he promised you that he was going to do some work and he didn't do the work, I'm sure that there's some legal action to be taken. Have you looked at the reviews for his company, too, to see what other people are saying?

Yeah. I mean, I didn't really see too much negativity because, I mean, I'm normally a person who kind of stick a lot about that. So I did some research, and, I mean, it seemed legit. Okay. And there's the Better Business Bureau, too, that you can also do a complaint there. That's what it Business Bureau too That you can also Do a complaint there

I thank you we appreciate you love brother now shout to um you know July 31st season are doing a seminar in New York Jacob Javis Center what we gonna be talking about real estate and breaking down you know how to get into it starting from credit repair and we're actually gonna do something special we got a bunch of brothers coming through. I know the brothers from EYL will be stopping through. And we've got credit repair and we're going to be talking about hard money loans

and conventional lenders. And also I know the brothers from EYL are doing an InvestFest again this year in Georgia. So if you can't make it out to the Jacob Javits Center July 31st, make sure you make it out there. And these are just ways where you can learn the game, learn the business. I like what EYL is doing because they're doing something similar to what we're doing

where we're not trying to charge people $3,000, $4,000, $5,000, $10,000. Because I always say if you've got that much money to spend on a course or a class, I'd rather you just buy the house. So we're really, both of us, just trying to teach our community how to do it, how to build generation wealth. And InvestFest is August 5th through the 7th in Atlanta. I'm actually going to be there as well. So salute to EYL.

Yo, shut up, man. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. Get it off your chest. The Breakfast Club. Suck up. Power 105.1. The Breakfast Club.

Your mornings will never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. From Bel Air, we have Jabari Banks. Welcome. What's going on? How you feeling, my brother?

I'm great, man. How y'all? Man, blessed black and highly favored. Yeah, exactly. Blessed to be here. Blessed to be with y'all. This is incredible. That's right. Congrats on the success of Bel Air thus far. Thank you, man. I appreciate that. Did you feel a lot of pressure having to play such an iconic role? Yeah, definitely the pressure, but many talks with Will,

many talks with Morgan Cooper, our creator, and they just reminded me to just be me, bring myself to the role. And that's exactly what Will was doing when he was being the Fresh Prince in the 90s, you know what I mean?

He wasn't trying to be nobody else. So that's what I had to do. How'd you get into acting? I got into acting in high school and I sort of, you know, was just like dollying around and then I had to do. How'd you get into acting? I got into acting in high school, and I sort of, you know, was just like dollying around, and then I went to college for it because my mom needed me to go to college. And I was like, I'll go to college for acting. Where are you from?

I'm from Philly, and I'm from Maryland. Are you from Philly? Yeah, yeah. West Philadelphia, born and raised? Yeah, yeah. It's crazy because I lived in West Philly with my Uncle Phil. Wow. But his name is James.

Get the f*** out of here. It's what I got. Why stop? I don't believe you. Listen, listen. His name is James. Get the f*** out of here. It's what I got. It's what I got. Stop. I don't believe you. I don't believe you. Listen, listen. His name is James. James Brogan, right?

Yeah, okay. But we called him Phil because he lived in Philly. And I lived with him for a long time. And so- That's wild because Uncle Phil's real name was- James Avery. James Avery. Yeah, yeah.

Wow. So there's a lot of instances within the show, not just me, with everybody in the cast. You know what I mean? That kind of intertwined them with the story. But yeah, yeah. I went to school in Philly at University of the Arts, and then I fell in love with it then. So did you tell people that story? Growing up being from Philly and having an uncle named Phil?

No, it didn't make sense. I mean, it didn't really register, you know what I mean? I wasn't really tripping off of it until everything clicked, and then it was like, oh, wow. Every part of my life has sort of led up to this. Wow. Now, you were a Fresh Prince fan, I'm assuming. Oh, yeah, wow. Every part of my life has sort of led up to this. Wow. Now, you were a Fresh Prince fan, I'm assuming. Oh, yeah, for sure.

Okay, all right. Now, according to the PhillyVoice.com, the director, Morgan Cooper, he had a $25,000 budget to do a feature film, teaser for Bel-Air with different actors. So how did that turn into this is going to be a show? Well, so basically, you know, Morgan put the trailer out, you know, just out of love and out of a pure place. You know what I mean?

He was just like, I love the Fresh Prince. I want to see this. I want to tell the story that I want to tell, you know. And he just he took that and he put it on YouTube. And I think within the first day, Will's company, Westbrook, they hit him up. And, you know, they were like, we want to, you know, talk with you and develop this thing. And, you know, I think a couple of weeks after that, he was sitting with Will and he was talking about, you know, where we want to take this story. And, you know, years down the line, here we are. Totally different tone, though.

Totally different tone. What did you think when you saw that? Yeah, break that down. Break down if people haven't seen the show, the differences between what we've seen as a kid, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Bel-Air. Yeah, well, you know, Bel-Air 2022 version is a dramatic retelling of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Bel-Air yeah well you know Bel-Air uh 2022 version is a dramatic retelling of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air uh the quintessential 90s sitcom and uh you know it's all the characters that we know and love but basically we get to dive deep into who they are and the actual stories that are going on in their lives and uh you know it's it's a modern day

retelling of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air basically and um and when you think of the story you know our um our showrunner T.J. Brady he said it basically. And when you think of the story, you know, our showrunner, TJ Brady, he said it perfectly. He was like, we all know the story of the Joker. You know what I mean? But when we see Juan Quixote do what he was doing, it was like, did you really think about it?

You know what I mean? And so, like, we get to see the story. We get to see how Will ends up in Bel-Air. And it's going to be super exciting for, like, old fans and new fans. And, man, it's been crazy to love around the project. Were you afraid to turn something that I guess was so happy? So I'll call it bright.

I'll call Fresh Prince of Bel-Air bright. Were you afraid to turn something like that dark? No, I wasn't afraid of it. Because when I had seen Morgan's trailer, I was like, oh, I get it. I get it. And I was like, I watched that. You know what I mean? And so I think it's important because it's a reflection of our world.

You know what I mean? And I think it's important to see that. How hands-on was Will Smith during the taping and all that? I always say this. It was great that he wasn't because he really gave us, he really left our retelling and our creation of these characters to our own volition. You know what I mean? And so that allowed us to create these characters know characters that ourselves are in you

know I mean he didn't have his thumb on it hella you know what I mean and so I feel like that's what I appreciated about him but you know he definitely gave us a lot of tips what about the other characters Carlton and yeah any of them come on set or did yeah we we have some yes we had a few talks with the original cast so it was definitely a blessing to get their blessing and to see that that torch passed you know I mean I always wonder you know if I would love to as well this but maybe he told you i wonder what he have played that character differently now because you know oh he's older now and he always said that back then he was he

was pretending to be somebody he wasn't right right i wonder what he played at approach that character different now definitely i feel you know like when he when he was you know doing the freshman's thing he had no acting chops at all yeah you know what i mean and so he was just kind of up there just trying to figure it out and uh i definitely think knowing what he knows now it definitely would have been different but it wouldn't have been as raw so you had you got acting chops so you weren't doing what will because he said will used to be saying everybody's it was a little different for me it was a little different for me because I was a theater actor. And so this is my first time being in front of a camera, in front of a 40-person camera crew.

And so that was definitely a learning curve for sure. How'd they discover you? I just sent in my audition. I had a manager, I had an agent that I got through a showcase. And they sent me the call. They were like, yo, there's this show called Bel-Air for this character Will. And I was like, hold on, Bel-Air, Will, what? And I saw the call and I was like, okay, okay, I can do this.

I knew it was me. I just had to prove to everybody else. But I thought that they wanted, like, a big name. You know what I mean? I thought that they wanted somebody who was recognizable to everybody else. And so I was like, I don't know how I'm going to get this role. But, you know what I mean? I just had to surrender to the whole process.

And so I sent him my call and a couple weeks down the line. What did you have to do on that first take? Do you remember? Yeah, it was a couple of scenes. Did you have to rap? No, I didn't have to rap. No, no, I just, it was a couple of scenes. It was actually a scene with LeBron in it.

LeBron was supposed to be in the first episode. Really? But, you know, it was budget. Well, he was supposed to be playing one of the people you were playing ball against? Nah, no. He was **** to be at a Bel Air party. He was like, yo, that's LeBron. So I did a scene where LeBron was in it.

I mean, as soon as I read the scenes, when I first got the script, I was like, oh, this show has something to say. Alright, we have more with Jabari Banks. He plays Will Smith in the new series Bel Air. We'll talk to him some more. It's The more with Jabari Banks. He plays Will Smith in a new series, Bel-Air. We'll talk to him some more.

We drove from, to put it in perspective, Norfolk State to V a to go to a ladies restaurant that went viral for baby shower plates baby shower plates what are you talking about she went viral we have found her on um we found her on facebook and she went viral because she was selling baby shower it was like at the beginning of covid oh so you went to go find that food when i went to go find that food we drove from norfolk State up to VCU. We couldn't even go sit down in the restaurant. We had to sit our fat tails.

I don't even know what I'm talking about. We had to sit in the car and eat the food. Was it worth it, though? Absolutely not. I could have made that shit home. Damn. Goodness gracious. But listen, you had a great experience with your friends.

It was a memory, you know? That's right. It was a memory. That's right. And that's what it's about. It's about food, fellowship, and friends. That's what food is for. Isn't it what food does?

Exactly. That's right. That's right. That's right. Thank you, man. Hello, who's this? It's Fresh. Fresh, what up, man?

We're talking about some real fat boy ish this morning, man. What's the fattest thing you've done? I ain't gonna lie, bro. I'm only like 160, but everybody who know me call me fat. They say I'm fat in spirit. Fat in spirit. I ain't gonna lie. Like, the fattest thing, for real, bro, everybody say I'm really like probably 6'8", 250,

because I do everything fat, bro. Last week, I ate some oatmeal because I didn't want to wait on it to cool off. I put it in the freezer for about five minutes. I don't see nothing wrong with that. I'll do that with pizza, though. Yeah. You do that with pizza? Yeah, pizza be too hot.

I just put it in the little fridge for about maybe 20 seconds, 30 seconds. I love pizza hot. I need it to burn my mouth. All right, so what about this? I microwave my ice cream. Now, that's just ridiculous. Now, that's just stupid. Now, I do microwave it a little bit if it's too hard now.

When you put that spoon in there. Yeah, you feel me? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do that now. You microwave your ice cream? No, no, I do that because you want your ice cream's too hard now. When you put that spoon in there. Yeah, you felt me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I do that now. You microwave that ice cream? No, no, I do that. Because you want your ice cream. I like it.

You want it to be soft. You want that spoon to just go right through it. Yeah, you don't want it to be rock hard. I don't microwave it, though. I just put it on the counter for a little while. Yeah, that's what you have to put on the counter. I don't microwave it. Nah, man.

I give it about 15 seconds in the microwave. We're about to get there. Okay. Okay, okay. All right. Well, thank you. All right, man. So now y'all feel fat? Y'all hungry like I am? What's the moral of the story? We're about to get there. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. Well, thank you. All right, man. So now y'all feel fat.

Y'all hungry like I am? What's the moral of the story? Food is amazing, bro. The moral of the story is, you know, I think your diet is a bank account. And good food choices are good investments. And it doesn't sound like y'all making good investments. Like I was talking about just random things. It sounds like this is some of y'all's regular everyday diet.

All right? So just make sure you're making good food choices to make good investments. That's all. But man, food is life. I love food so much. Absolutely. Lord have mercy.

We all fat. We all trans fat, bro. And we just need to accept it. Don't nobody really like eating healthy? No. No. Oh, healthy could be delicious. That's not true.

Sure. It definitely could. It don't taste like that. Yeah, I don't know. Sure. It don't taste like the Krispy Kreme Donuts. Man, the juices at Juices for Life, those are amazing. It's like dessert. They're good.

They taste delicious. But nothing tastes good like the Big Mac. Mangoes. Oh my God. I love a good juicy mango. If all this stuff we really love to eat was healthy, like if there was, if Krispy Kreme Donuts kept us alive, guess what we'd be eating this morning right now. If Chick-fil-A is what gave us muscles, guess what we'd be eating this morning right now? If Chick-fil-A is what gave us

muscles, guess what we'd be eating this morning? Remember what I used to eat every morning up here? And I love sauteed spinach with garlic. Yum. Alright, well, The Breakfast Club, good morning. The Breakfast Club. Power 105.1 The Breakfast Club.

We got a special guest in the building. A very requested guest. And he's been ducking us for years now. Never that. Never that. Never that. I've never ducked at you.

I thought you guys just didn't give a f*** about it, bro. Godfrey is here. What's up? What's up? Good out. I thought you guys just didn't get f***ing better, bro. You know what I'm saying? Godfrey is here. What's up? What's up? Good morning. How are you, man? I'm excellent, man. I mean, I'm sleepy as s***.

But yeah, you guys are early. Yeah. Good morning, short. That's why it's called a breakfast club. I thought you shot in the middle of the afternoon. There's definitely no breakfast. No breakfast. I'm starving s***.

I got hunger breath. We've already had like great conversations before the mic even opened. Oh, yeah? You know? Yeah, we did. A little bit. He said we did. It wasn't great to me.

I just thought that you had to have a special, something had to be going on for you. Godfrey, have you ever tried to be on this show? Have you ever had anybody reach out and say? Yes. Mad people have come to me and say, yo, Godfrey wants to do Breakfast Club. But when you going to have Godfrey on Breakfast Club? But did anybody try to book it, I'm saying? Flame. Flame Monroe. Flame Monroe, that's my homie,

who I came up with in Chicago. He was like, he's like, you need to get on Breakfast Club. You need to, I'm gonna tell him, you gotta get on Breakfast Club. I said, but what do I have? I thought you had to have some shit, like a movie coming out or a TV show coming out.

You have a lot. What'd he say? You have a lot coming out. I have a lot, but then I saw some people that ain't got shit and I said, I can do that shit. I was like,

oh, ain't shit. I'm about to get on this and they don't do a damn thing. So I'm about to get on. I ran into you at the Nick Cannon show. Shout out to Nick Cannon

first off. And sorry about it, his show got canceled. He didn't get a fair shake, man. Six months isn't long enough. First of all, you can keep, that's what I love about this show.

You guys keep it 100 here. Absolutely. They'll let white dudes stay on for 30 years. That's right. As average as fuck. And then we get cut off quick, man. Six months? We can't even be in animation.

They cut us off quick. Like, come on, like Black Dynamite, done. I did voiceover for Black Dynamite, done. Boondocks, done. You're right. Cleveland Show, done. you're right cleveland show done you're right and it was white people doing black people voices done uh you didn't know that you didn't know that oh yeah cleveland they were all white people doing our doing black people

voices yeah i remember when that was a yeah and it done boom so it's like but the simpsons been on since 1901 yeah they got a got a thousand, and what else? Like the longest running show ever. American, all of that. But like Nick Cannon, they needed time to like, like gel, you know what I'm saying?

It's like with the nighttime talk shows and shit, like they've all been on forever and then we had to wait 20 years for the same black dude to come back and then they canceled it. You gotta give people a chance to get the kinks out. They give

those white guys and white women chances to fit. And they don't get better sometimes. And they stay horrible. Not all of them, but they stay horrible and they're like, f***. Nick's show I thought was cool. Yeah, I thought it was really good, nice, positive, fun.

Positive? Hey, Nick. Hey, Nick. That's daytime. Daytime's like kind of, you know, yeah. The demographic is, well, I mean, I think it's white soccer moms. I think he was trying to cater to. And he asked me, hey, man, why don't you write on my show? I said, okay, with Rip Michaels.

Shout out to Rip Michaels. Who's the Rip? Rip. you write on my show i said okay with rip michael shout out rip michael's who to rip rip and i was like um yeah okay i'll do it i've never really done like daytime i've watched daytime but i'm like corny but i said it'll be a good challenge and so writing for nick was cool you know what i'm saying just to see the way nick works i've been doing the um what's it called it um the wilding out yeah you know and nick asked me do well i said what's my old ass doing a while he said nah man i'm gonna do old school there's new school and just to watch nick work and hire so many different african-americans he just hires all kinds of people but just the way he works as a businessman and then boom that's how i ran it to you shout i'm telling you nick has hooked it up

it's always nick cannon so that's how i got She goes, we've been wanting you to do the Breakfast Club. I didn't believe you. I thought you were lying because I just happened to be working for Nick. You were going, it's bullshit. I wouldn't have said anything. I wouldn't have said shit. I said, how you doing? Good to see you.

But I was like, Angela, he is really nice. You're nicer than I expected. Not saying you were me, but you were super nice. What was your perception, Godfrey? Nothing. Really, I mean, I just thought she was just, I don't know. Because, you know, I thought maybe she'd be like a little s***. Not really. But you're super nice, like overly

nice. You've been scoring before, Godfrey, in this business. Now, Charlamagne, we've been like, oh, Charlamagne, god damn. You were actually on FaceTime with Shaq when I saw you. I was on FaceTime with Shaq. Yeah, they were talking about the T.I. situation, you and T.I. Because I guess T.I. did the Shaq all-star comedy thing.

He did? Yeah. Yeah, remember we talked about that. We said T.I. was going to be on that show. Yeah. We had a whole conversation. I didn't know he was doing the Shaq comedy. Yeah, during Austin. Why are you making that face? I feel like that's a little early for that.

What do you mean by early? Don't you get Godfrey back in this? No, no, no. I'm just asking. I thought the Shaq comedy Austin thing was for people who had put in some time in the comedy game. That's not a platform you just jump out on. I mean, what? I'm just saying.

I mean, I get T.I. is a celebrity and all, but I'm just talking about performance-wise. That's usually the thing that takes you to that next level of the comedian. I didn't say it. Go ahead. Now, if you recall, we had a whole conversation up here about Godfrey and T.I. and how T.I. went on after Godfrey.

Remember, we had that whole conversation. Did you hear about that? Yeah, I was in Atlanta. You spoke about it. I was in Atlanta I know I'm gonna talk about it because it's still lingering a little bit But me and TI are cool as **** first of all. When I was in Atlanta I was doing that Atlanta comedy theater and I'm on stage. I did like hour 40, right? That's you know, that's what I do. That's what the headliners do And then my boy Artie Fuqua, give a shout out to Artie Fuqua. Artie, get off stage. He's like, hey man, I just gotta tell you something. I know this sounds strange, but I gotta keep the show

going. I was like, what for? He's like, T.I.'s going up. And I literally was like, to do what? I was like, what are you talking about? And he goes, he's gonna do comedy. I said, oh, okay. And I said, it's his town. Let him go up. And all I said was, you know, I saw T.I. because I'm a T.I. fan. So. I said, oh, okay. And I said, it's his town. Let him go up. And all I said was, you know, I saw TI because I'm a TI fan.

So I was like, yo, TI, what's up? I went straight to the green room because I'm like, I'm done. I'm a headliner. I'm done. I'm going to decompress. That's what I do. I don't give a fuck who's in the room. That is what I've always done.

So they were like, on my podcast, they're like, yo, did you go see him? I said, no. I don't know. What? I'm a headliner. And I mean, I didn't know him to do comedy, so I'm not going to watch. Not saying he shouldn't be doing comedy. I'm just a headliner.

I just finished. It was for that moment. But then I know somebody took that excerpt of me saying that, showed it to T.I. And then T.I. was in the woods. YesI., and then T.I. was in the woods. You know when T.I. goes in the woods and he has that angle? I just want to say something that's on my heart and I need to expeditionally

take care of this situation. And I was like, oh, s***. You know when T.I.'s in the woods and he has that angle? I go, oh, s***. It's like when Snoop Dogg is mad, all you see is his nostril i go oh snoop about to f**k somebody up but yeah he was like some people were like yo did you hear what t and it just it spread like wildfire and i had dudes from the south like comics from the

south calling me like yo you see that t i said about it say what happened and so i didn't even think about it because as a comedian that's just how we talk. We're like, yo, he's a comic. He don't put his time in. This is just the way we talk as comedians. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they took it as an I was hating on him doing comedy. I said, nah, dude, I didn't go watch him,

because I'm not going to watch somebody that I don't know that's known for comedy after I've headlined. It was just for that moment. Now, if it would have happened that T.I. came before I went up and said, hey, man, I want to do some time, I'd go, yeah, I'm going to f***. And then I would have watched. Just to say, T.I.'s doing comedy?

That's all. You know? So after that, then I addressed him right away. I said, because people, I'm telling you, everybody's like, yo, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? And of course, people can't wait to go in here. Your DM got, hey man, you little pook ass. Man, T.I. can do whatever the fuck you want. I was like, yo,

Nick Cannon, I told him about it. He goes, yeah, I heard about that and then he FaceTimed us. I said, let's talk, let's go face to face. Man, I'm Chicago all day. I just want to let you know I'm Chicago, and even though I've been in New York for 20 years. I'm a Chicago guy So we I go face to face with you. I go hey man. Let's talk about this squash There's not a big deal, and we talked it out. We had a really nice conversation

You know and he said you know I look at you as a goat man. You wanted to you know the greats in comedy I said well, I appreciate that was that the podcast I heard the podcast This is before the afternoon before a few hours before the podcast and, well, I appreciate that. Was that the podcast? I heard the podcast. This is the afternoon, a few hours before the podcast. And I said, no, I appreciate that. But then I said, you know what? I even apologized. I said, I'm sorry that you took it the wrong way. There's nothing wrong with apologizing to another dude.

I said, hey, man, I'm sorry about that. But I'm not sorry about the way I felt about how we are as comedians, as protocol. And then I told him, I said, that's like me after you finish rhyming, I go, yo, my man T, I know you just rocked this concert, but I got a couple songs to drop real quick. You'd be like, the f*** are you playing? But you gotta explain it

to him in that way, because that's the world he understands. And so when I looked at it from his angle, I could see and there were other comedians coming at him crazy. So it was a build-up. So when I looked at it from his angle, I could see. And there were other comedians coming at him crazy. So it was a buildup. So when I said something, then it just added to the whole thing. But we squashed it.

Then I said, can you do my podcast? He said, I'd love to do your podcast. And I said, we had the podcast. Then it got a little heated because he said, man, I thought you was cool when I first met you in the green room. And then the next minute you dog. I said, it wasn't a two-faced thing. I was just talking as a comedian doing comedy 25 years. And then you're doing, but I've always been a fan of comedy.

I know, but I have never seen you perform it. So it was just one of those things. But we cool as hell. But it's also true that people can hype things up. So if y'all, imagine you guys didn't directly have a conversation. Oh, shit. It could be something that really like snowballed. And I said, I like Atlanta.

I want to be able to come back. I want to be able to come back. I love Tip. That's one of my favorite people. He's one of my favorite rappers. But you can't approach everything like the rap world either, though. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max.

That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about.

Very nice guy. You don't want to hear that shit, Godfrey. And guess what? After you said that. And guess what? The two Nigerian dudes I know. Oh, my God. I know both of them.

You know them? From Chicago. I hung out with them. We went to a Nigerian festival. I hung out of them. You know them? From Chicago. I hung out with them. We went to a Nigerian festival. I hung out with them. You are lying. The next time, I swear to God. You went to a Nigerian festival?

A Nigerian festival because I met them. They were working at this. There's this arcade. It's like an arcade. It's called Emporium in Chicago on the north side. It's an arcade bar. You know how they bring out these new old arcade games with the bar? We were there, and they were the bouncer dudes there.

Brothers. And I hung out with them. Okay. And then the next day, we went to a Nigerian festival in Chicago. Hell yeah. We was eating suya. You can ask them. I don't know.

Are they in jail? No, they're fine. I don't think so. Yeah, I know those dudes. Because when they show up, I go, I f***ing hung out with those. I'm not even lying to you. No sauna or nothing? What did you say?

You guys been to the sauna or anything? No, hell no, man. Pause. The sauna. I mean, they're trainers. Hey, I don't go to saunas, man. Not f***ing all that. Every time you go to sauna, dudes just f*** over like, hey, what's up?

How you doing? Wrong room. S***. No, because they, you know, them old white dudes there, we got their balls out and shit. The soldiers are like, oh, man. Looked just like the statues,

them little Greek statues. The Greek statues with the little balls out with the legs. That's what happens in the male soldiers. Man, they be, they don't get well. Yes, all is good. Love this shot of here. You got to come back, man. Dude, yeah.

I do want to ask you though, who's your Mount Rushmore of comedy? Here, I knew that was coming. You knew that was coming, right? I think I knew it. You got to come back, man. Dude, yeah. I do want to ask you though, who's your Mount Rushmore of comedy? Here, I knew that was coming. You knew that was coming, right? I think I knew it. Okay, let me, everybody's Mount Rushmore is whatever they want it to be.

My Mount Rushmore, I should be with Cosby. You know I'm in that Cosby documentary. Yes, we know. We need to talk about Cosby. I am in it, boy. Ooh, all in it. Because I worked for Cosby.

It was one of my first jobs. What, the Cosby show? Yeah, the second one, the CBS one with Dougie Doug. Oh, wow, wow. So I was the audience coordinator for that. I lived in it. Because I worked for Cosby. It was one of my first jobs. What, the Cosby show? Yeah, the second one, the CBS one with Dougie Duff. So I was the audience coordinator for that. I lived in Queens, you know, Carpenter Story Studios, and I did it for like six months. I was

around Cosby. Never saw any crazy s***. He was cool. But you heard things. Did you hear things? I would hear things. Definitely heard things. I would hear stuff. That was when his son was murdered. I was there. I was around. Oh, I forgot about that. Yeah, I was there. Yeah, damn.

And so I was, yeah, so I was. So were you surprised when any of these? Because I was hearing it, hearing it, hearing it, and I would hear it. I'd go, really? And then I wasn't, my thing is, it was a battle because it's like, whenever he wanted to buy a stu uh uh uh a channel a network stuff came up the last time the first time the first time he wanted to buy it they had the illegitimate

daughter came out when he wanted to buy a network they had there's some girl said you're my dad or whatever and then when he wanted to buy it again some came up and and people say well they're trying to destroy legacy but then i would hear i i would i knew people who kind of it happened to them and they never reported them you know what i'm saying my mom knew somebody that never reported yeah i knew people that literally got you know got handled and he they were like i never reported it because i got out whatever so i wasn't that surprised but it was it was disappointing because he is an icon comedically, what he's done for television. He literally was the first black person to be on a national TV show, I Spy, in the 60s.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. With Robert Culp. Then he had a Cosby show before the regular Cosby show. He was a gym teacher in the 70s. He the regular Cosby show. He was a gym teacher in the 70s. He had a Cosby show. He was a gym teacher. When I tell you, I'm a nerd about this s***. How much of Bill's self-righteousness do you think, you know, led to his democracy?

That's another thing, too. When Bill was, like, dogging everybody, which was f***ed up. He had fights. D.L. had a fight with him. Jamie Foxx did. Eddie Murphy was the first to go. Bill Cosby called me saying, why are you always cursing and da, da, da, da? And it was his self-righteous shit that made it even worse.

Pull your pants up. Pull your pants up. But I'm like, but Cosby, you were helped yourself, too. There was a man by the name of Sheldon Leonard. Sheldon Leonard was an actor, producer, and he produced, I think, Dick Van Dyke. So he actually helped Bill Cosby and fought for Bill Cosby to be on I Spy in the 60s. So, Cosby, you were helped, too. It's disappointing, you know, but I balanced it out pretty good, I think.

You know, I didn't dog him, but I was disappointed. As far as my Mount Rushmore. He's on your Mount Rushmore. Can I say he's in the back of the mountain right now. He's just in the back. He's in the back. He's in the back. He's in the back.

I got Pryor. I got Pryor. I got Carlin. I got Paul Mooney. I watch Paul all the time. I'm a Red Fox. Hold on. That can only be four.

I thought it was five. Oh, because everyone always says you're top five. So those are the guys. And then you put Bill Cosby in the back. I just put him in the back. He was in the front and then when the thing, I had to go to the back. So it's F***er, Carlin.

It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit it with the heat.

It's a breakfast club, bitches. Who's Donkey of the Day today? Well, Donkey of the Day goes to John F. Kennedy Middle School in Connecticut. In particular, a teacher named Bree Quarton. She's the district's health and physical education coordinator and superintendent. Christopher Drezek. I think I'm pronouncing his last name right now. I have extreme love for public school teachers.

Drop on the clues bombs for all the public school teachers out there. Because my mother has been a public school teacher in South Carolina for as long as I've been alive. And I understand the impact that public school teachers have on kids, and I know how hard that job is because you have to truly love it because it's not like the pay is your incentive. You have to really care for these kids and their well-being lesson plans assignments all of these things teachers come up with to educate kids we appreciate you drop another clues bomb for teachers man public school teachers we know it's not easy and in this era of social media video games all types of things just pulling at these kids attention cutting through

to these children and creating things that can actually pulling at these kids attention cutting through to these children and creating things that can actually appeal to these kids is tough so i'm not judging okay but as a parent of a middle schooler i would be concerned about this lesson plan that came out of jfk middle school i'm holding it in my hand right now okay and the title is pizza and consent okay basically kids at jfk uh middle Middle School in Connecticut were instructed to use pizza as a metaphor for sex and asked to cite their favorite toppings. For example, cheese was for kissing and olives were for giving oral. Basically, they compared ordering a pizza to receiving consent. I can't make this kind of stuff up. Listen to Eric Sanzi, director of outreach for parents defending education. She did an interview with ABC7KATV to describe the assignment. And then it went on to explain that just like when friends have to agree on pizza toppings when they're sharing a pizza, that people need to agree on what they're willing to do and not do in terms of consent.

And so they decided to have the students list their sexual likes and dislikes and then draw them on a pizza as pizza toppings. Now, again, these are eighth graders. And it's important to keep in mind under 15 percent of eighth graders have had sex. So they're being asked very personal questions on a topic that many of them are totally inexperienced with and likely uncomfortable talking about in school. This is middle school. How many toppings do you think I've had on my pizza in middle school? Now, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I enjoy a great conspiracy theory, and Pizzagate was a great conspiracy theory. You remember

Pizzagate, don't you? The false allegation that the Clintons used the Comet Ping Pong Pizza restaurant in Washington D.C. as a front for a pedophile sex ring in the back room was supposedly used for kidnapping and trafficking children? Okay, now, of course, all of this was proven to be false, but it made a lot of noise.

The owner of Comet Ping Pong and his staff received death threats. People protested outside of the restaurant. A guy actually went in the restaurant and fired a gun at an employee. See, these fake stories be having real world consequences. People believe these conspiracy theories, and when you promote these false and reckless

conspiracy theories, bad things happen. I'm saying all that to say, JFK Middle School in Connecticut has done nothing but contributed to that conspiracy theory. I don't even know if Pizzagate is still a thing, but this right here is going to resurrect it. Alright, listen, my daughter is in 8th grade. She's 13. These kids are

watching shows like Euphoria. These kids have social media. These kids talk amongst each other. Do you remember when you were 13? 12? 11? Whatever age we were in middle school we was already talking about sex in a real way so I can only imagine with all the access these kids have now what their conversations are like so you don't need stunts like this just talk to the kids okay just talk to

them all right listen let me let me read y'all some of this this is why they use the metaphor for sex they say when you order your pizza with friends, everyone checks in about each other's preferences. Some people might be vegan. Some people might be gluten free. Others might love pineapple while others prefer pepperoni. Some might not like pizza at all. If you're a vegetarian, but your friend is a meat lover, sharing a pizza is going to bring up a lot of issues. You don't know who you can share your pizza with unless you ask. Okay. Didn't they say the same goes with sex? No. What are they talking about?

The metaphor doesn't make no sense. The correlation makes no sense. You have to check in with your partners and ask for their preferences. Your partner might be comfortable with one sexual activity but not another. Maybe your partners only want to be touched a certain way. Or maybe your partners prefer to use certain language. Or maybe they don't want to have sex at all. You'll never know your wants, desires and you'll never know if your wants, desires and boundaries are compatible with theirs unless you ask.

No, I don't want y'all asking my daughter about any of that. And once again, furthermore, how many toppings do you think these kids have had in middle school? Middle school, I would hope these kids are virgins. OK, just plain cheese pizzas. Matter of fact, no cheese, cheese no tomato sauce just raw dough you know that hasn't even been put in the oven yet all right amanda who is a parent from that school district took to social media to express her disgust with the assignment let's listen to amanda just last week a school assignment in jfk labeled pizza and consent was sent out for students what's pizza got to do with it you wonder

we can use pizza as a metaphor for sex those Those are the first two lines of this assignment, which is centered around establishing consent and boundaries, except for page two, where it takes it one step further and states, now that you know the metaphor for sex, let's explore your preference. Draw and color your favorite type of pizza. Mirror these preferences in relation to sex. Here are some examples. Likes, cheese equals kissing. Dislikes, olives equals giving oral. Since when has it become acceptable for a teacher to ask a student what their sexual wants, desires, and boundaries are?

Maybe our board members would like to answer this assignment and share their thoughts just like our 8th grade students were requested to do. Now, of course, the school is currently backtracking. Superintendent Christopher Drezig says it was a mistake and the assignment had been inadvertently sent to the students. Basically, they are claiming they sent the pizza to the wrong house. OK, he said while the assignment was inappropriate, there was no hidden agenda. He said while addressing the parents, there was no secret cabal to indoctrinate kids on something. Let me tell you, man, if you you know, you have to, you know,

explain that there's no secret cabal to indoctrinate kids, if a school superintendent has to explain that, alright, then my kids might be in the wrong school. Alright? An explanation like that is just, I don't know, man. I just feel like this assignment is prompting kids

to become sexually active before their time. And what does pizza have to do with consent? I still don't even know that. All right. Choosing what to put on your pizza when you are ordering with a group is hard enough by itself. Now you're trying to make it a metaphor for sex. And even after it's been explained, I still don't know what any of this has to do with consent. All right.

Just talk to these kids. They're young adults. Speak to them as such. I promise they can handle it. But pizza as a metaphor for consent, they cannot. And what's the topping for anal? Ha! Please give John F. Kennedy Middle School in Connecticut the biggest he ha.

My kids ain't eating pizza no more. That's what you got out of that? That's what you got out of that? That's what I got out of that. That's what you got out of that? Chicken fingers and french fries all day long. Jesus Christ. The Breakfast Club.

Go work. Go work. You a business now. Now the work begins. Yeah. Congratulations on a number one record, right? Yes. You just had big energy. It a work begins. Yeah. Congratulations on a number one record, right? Yes. Big Energy was number one.

Congrats. Thank you. Big Energy. A lot of people was in their feelings about that song. Yeah. If they didn't have that big energy, you know what I'm saying? But one of our listeners called in and I want to get your advice. Here was her question.

I started talking to a new guy and like everything was good, but like he kind of has like some female tendencies that I don't like. They kind of has like some female tendencies that i don't like they kind of make me like cringe a little bit what do you mean by that what do you mean by female tendencies so like sometimes he'll sing songs that are like a little bit too feminine like things like songs that he shouldn't be singing and like what song what songs are feminine songs energy by big lotto like i don't feel like a man should be singing those songs like Like what song? What songs are feminine songs? Big Energy by Big Lotto. I don't feel like a man should be singing those songs. I ain't going to lie.

Lotto's record was the number one record, man. I love both those songs. As a female, yes, I love both those songs, and I would sing them, but I don't think a man should be singing about those songs. What do you say, Lotto? I don't agree with that. Can you say Big Energy, or as a guy, you can't sing thatotto? I don't agree with that. Can you say big, big energy? Or as a guy, you can't sing that song?

I think you can. First of all, I try at least, maybe not every song, but I try to make the most unisex music. I think out of a lot of female rappers, I think I'm the one that makes music for both genders. Like my uncles, my cousins, my man, his friends, like they be bumping my jaw. Now, as a man of average penis size, I was highly offended by your song.

I told you. But if you listen to the song, it's not about what's in your pants, though. It's not. Because I got big... He says, but go ahead. Continue on, Charlamagne. Shut up.

What's up with you, man? She already from Atlanta. Okay, relax, bro. Like, what's up? It's not a, like, gender thing, or it's not literally what's in your pants. Although that energy does transfer over. I mean, the confidence that you have. Yeah, but that's where the saying come from, because it come from, like, you know how they say men that know they got a lot of, you know, stain in their pants, they be walking around like they don't stain.

I just feel like all penis sizes matter. You know what I mean? Yeah. He's very hurt. He cried. It's not about that It's not about that It's about the E this morning

So we'll be alright Have you ever been wrong About somebody's energy though Goodness gracious Like somebody walk in And they got that BDE But then you know They was just

Have I ever been wrong I don't think I ever been wrong I really can smell that From a mile away God damn. What'd you smell? I'm like that. No, I don't have mercy.

I don't have mercy. Mariah Carey, she cleared the sample, no problems? Tom Tom Club cleared the sample. Tom Tom Club. Yeah, that's the original. That's the original. Genius of Love, right? Is that what it is?

Yeah, Genius of Love. Genius of Love. What do you call big? Is it like, does it hang like your ponytail? Like, what is big? I knew you was just going to give me just problems. I'm just asking. I just want to know. He's really hurt by it. Big what? Big energy, what is big? I knew you were just going to give me this problem. I'm just asking. I just want to know.

He's really hurt by it. Big what? Big energy, big lotto. Big energy. Big D, big D. Well, let me bring you down before you answer it. His wife. Oh, don't do that.

Before he was his wife. Bro, what is you talking about? Cheated on him with a guy with a bigger penis. His wife cheated with Maxwell. Oh, that's what it is. His wife cheated with Maxwell. That is not true. I don't want to know all the details. Exactly. I don't want to know all the details. I. That is not true. I don't want to know how to teach.

Exactly. I don't want to know how to teach. She's like, I came here to work, guys. That was years ago. We've been together for a long time. It's not about what's in your pants. I don't care who cheated on who. Listen, all I know is, Lido, can we both agree that there is some small energy in this room

from the two of them this morning? No, I'm not not gonna do them like that no yeah this is feeling insecure it's giving insecure we're asking questions why can't we ask questions I'm just asking anyways back to the call you know I'm saying she I don't agree with shawty I think that men can listen to them songs. I agree. But not listen, sing them. Like, yes, they can. I agree. Yes, they can. I mean, they're bad.

Because if not, then y'all exing me out of 50% of the market. That's right. You can't do me like that, girl. I'm trying to get this money. And technically, the song is about men.

Yeah. Yeah. And that's why I had added those things in the beginning where I said, hey, daddy, when you gonna stop playing?

I wanted it to be, I didn't want it to just be like stepping on. I wanted it to be like, you don't want to hurt nobody's feelings. He says that to me every morning, yo. What's that? Hey, daddy, when you going to stop playing? I didn't know where the hell he was getting that from. This guy is crazy. Please stop.

Why is the album titled 777? And I see you got it tatted on you next to the end of the year. Yeah, I've been had this tatted on me for like, this is one of my first tattoos. So 7 always been like my favorite number. It's God's number. God's number. Everyone who I love favorite number is 7. Like my grandma, my daddy, everybody favorite number is 7.

Triple, you know, overcome 666. And baby, I'm God's child, baby. I'm God's favorite, matter of fact. So, you know, I don't play about that so but when i changed my name to lotto in reference to the lottery like casino jackpot whatever it became a part of my brand then but it just kind of just fell in place because it was already something that meant a lot to me anyway and then you know the album and stuff i just wanted to like with the previous name just harboring that negative energy and stuff, I just wanted to like turn over a new leaf, like new chapter, new era.

And I think it's been manifesting like good things. I like that, especially the whole 666 thing. It's like, yo, why not flip that? Let's do God, 777. Yeah, because I be seeing people do that. I be like, what the fuck wrong with y'all? We don't do that. Who was your faith growing up?

Christianity. Christianity? Yeah, my grandma was like, you ain't touching that food unless you say grace. Another big conversation is who's from Atlanta? Clearly not me. Why is there such a big conversation about who's from Atlanta, who's not from Atlanta, who's on the outskirts of Atlanta, who's in Atlanta?

I don't think it's just Atlanta, though. Like, Amaretta was really just saying, like, because so many other people from different cities was relating to it, too. She was just speaking from Atlanta. Like, they'd be like, oh, if you're not from the actual city, don't claim the actual city. But, baby, one thing about it, I'm going to let you know I'm from Cleco. I'm going to let you know that. But to the masses, to the world, y'all probably never even heard of Cleco.

So, to the world, I'm from Atlanta. Yeah, it's really people not from there that just be like oh yeah she's from atlanta and y'all represent atlanta too like the culture of it yeah and you got on the remix yeah because i'm off i'm already like she hard like she corrupt and i understood what she was saying like it wasn't no shade like people was trying to flip it into this thing like oh she's shading you what you're gonna do what you're gonna do i ain't taking that shade like i'm literally she said like she said, she's shading you. What you going to do? What you going to do? I ain't taking that shade. Like, literally, she said what she said.

It's not a lie. Isn't it crazy that people could have started, like, a beef? Because you know how fans want to jump in and be like, oh, she talking crazy about you. Imagine if you would have fed into that and been like, man. Yeah, I could have. I could have for sure. Like, they do that a lot, especially with female rappers. Like, they do that.

They can't wait to pin y'all against each other and that's why i always say nine times out of ten when the girls is beefing or they got an issue underlying issue it don't be them like we were really we got so much stuff to relate to in real life we got so many stories that we can tell each other and be like girl you going through that i'm going through that too like it'd be the blogs and the fans and stuff and it's really not fair to us because in real life we would probably get along does online harassment ever like impact your mental health and your emotional well-being yes yeah like i'm going through that right now like trying to find me time and like self-care like make sure my mental is straight because when it's i always say when it when it starts to not be fun no more i'm gonna take a break and recollect but i'm on tour and stuff so it's like is it fun to not be fun no more, I'm going to take a break and recollect.

But I'm on tour and stuff, so it's like. Is it fun now? It's fun. It's fun. Like, I'm not going to let that distract me and take away, you know, my happiness. This is my second project with RCA. It's my first tour, and I'm selling out like crazy. Like, I want to enjoy it.

It's funny until you get online. Like, I saw something with you. They was messing with you about having a small stage, which wasn't a small stage. It's 3,000 people. First of all, I'm in Santa Cruz. First of all, selling out 1,000 people at Santa Cruz

is not coming out to see new artists, period. So I'm going to pop it. That's why I'm still trying to find, you know, the times where it's appropriate. It is not. I like how the Clayton County

came out, but then you remember the media training. That's what you... But I'm not... Why does it bother you? Because you've been on stages that have 40, but then you remember the media training. Why does it bother you? Because you've been on stages that have 40, 50,000, 60,000 festivals, and then a small market doesn't matter.

I think what irritates me is because there be so many people that's not in the industry speaking on stuff that have to do with the industry. Like, y'all don't have no clue of what's going on. Y'all be impressed by these big old stages. When I post Rolling Loud or I post Made in America. Y'all be like, oh my God, you made it. You made it. Them people is here to see a hundred other people. They is not here just to see me. That's right. Them people in that room

screaming word for word songs that I dropped five years ago. So that hit different. Alright, we got more with Big Lotto when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,

Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Big Lotto. Her album comes out this Friday, 777. Charlamagne? You do realize

that most of these people on social media are just mad that you win it. Yeah. Yeah. But you know what? I think because I did the rap game so long ago,

I been got that drag and all Twitter and stuff. And that's not new to me. It's not new to me. So it's like I still got to figure out when it's not appropriate to clap back. Because y'all got to label out for me media training and stuff now. When you was on Big Boy and you talked about working on the album and having a problem clearing. Yeah. And then everybody looked at your track list

and tried to see what artist that was. It's like a hip-hop whodunit at this point. And then Kodak posted today. He said, that mulatto girl is not talking about me, homie. I just think that's where I walked in. My intentions was not to make this a whole thing. I just was looking at it as, like, I'm a new female rapper in the game.

I wish somebody could have gave me some insight about how this stuff really go. Like, you hear, like, oh, female rappers have it harder, but I really wanted to give, like, a little insight as to, like, what specifically makes it harder for a female rapper. I didn't want it to, like, distract from the music or anything, so, like, I kind of wish, in a way,

I didn't say that. How did that person react? Because I'm sure at that point, it's like, well, I don't want to be on the album distract from the music or anything so like i kind of wish in a way i didn't say that how did that person react because i'm sure at that point it's like well i don't want to be on the album because not everybody gonna be looking at me i haven't heard from them yeah well you know what if you did that you should be ashamed and not want to you know but like what are you supposed to do if you if a guy did that to you he should should really just shut up. Yeah. Or even apologize. Yeah, or apologize. That would mean.

Because I don't, I mean, I'm not here to raise nobody. I'm just speaking on, like, what I go through, you know. And I think I'm allowed to do that to a certain extent. Social media is trying to turn it into this thing where it's like, oh, I'm trying to clout Chase or, like, silence my experiences. I think you live in your truth yeah you know and if your intentions are to help the next person coming behind you like why not cuz these are things that we've always

heard about but you never know specifically what like people always say oh it's harder for a female rapper it's harder for a female rapper but specifically what do we be dealing with that people don't know? That's right. You know what I'm saying? And it's not even just other artists. It'd be managers, producers. Oh, that's why I was really shocked by that because I'm like, oh, that's what got y'all shook? Oh, y'all would. That was just, yeah. How does that make you, like, if you want to do a record with somebody or you want to collaborate, now do you say, well, I'm going to get my manager to reach out because I don't want that?

Oh, that's what it always be, though. Like, they even switched it like that. They like, oh, well, why would you even reach out to that person? I don't even do that. I don't know that's that's what it always be though like they even switched it like that they like oh well why would you even reach out to that person I don't even do that I don't do business like that it's always through management I don't know to be like that though if you feel the artist be like I think he sound dope on this record you should be able to play yo bro I think we should collab and it shouldn't be a problem you know it shouldn't but it's her reality is reality is it most likely will be or

they were like you know do something that offends you or try to cross the boundary or whatever. So I always like, especially with male rappers. Was it Kodak? I don't want to say who it was. Yeah. I just feel like, because it's going to distract from the music, and my intention is not to get anyone dragged or anything.

I just wanted to speak from, like, what do I deal with? I don't specifically want someone to, you know, get dragged or that cancel culture is a mother. Did other female artists,

other female rappers hit you up after that to be like, thank you girl for speaking up? Yeah, they did. And I thought

that was real dope. And hopefully, without a mess and a drama, hopefully more people can feel comfortable to speak up. So it's been like that

from day one? Like even when you were just an aspiring rapper trying to speak up so it's been like that from day one like even when you were just an aspiring rapper trying to get on it's been like that what does your man have to say about all this he tried to stay out of the way um i try to keep him out of the way too because i don't i don't want you know i don't want him to have any pressure or like feel like he gotta defend me like i'm straight because that had to be hard want him to have any pressure or like feel like he got to defend me. Like I'm straight. Cause that had to be hard for him to hear too. Especially when you tell him, I know he was like, I want to.

Yeah, for sure. But I think when you date in a female rapper, you just gotta, you gotta know some stuff just going to come with it. What's that? What did he hear on the big boy interview? No,

I, I, I, yeah, yeah. I tell him everything. Yeah. He don't like want to go step to the guy.

Like, let me go talk to him. I don't know what you want to do yeah it's interesting because i can feel your energy come down as soon as you start talking about it yeah because i just it just been like too much it been too much that's why i'm just ready for the album to come out the remix the remix got clear like just in time like that that was a whole other thing that was just on my mental, like, when I tell you I've been stressed out with a K, stressed. Stressed.

Stressed. But it's okay because God got me, and I really feel like everything I'm going through right now is just prepping me for what's to come. What perception did you have of the industry that once you got in, you realized it was all wrong? Yeah, I think i was i was rapping at eight years old i did the rap game at 16 so i thought everything was peaches and cream like oh i'm like oh i just get my makeup done and shoot videos and then i'd be number one on

billboard that's how it go that's what i thought you know as a kid coming into it but i think it made me it made me like grow up faster because I had to see you know as a as a kid like dang this stuff not sweet like

people they they don't give a damn what was your first like rude awakening my first rude awakening I don't I don't even remember

my first was it before the rap game or after that or during probably probably like during after rap game stuff

you regret that at all? Because you had to prove so much that you wasn't a reality rapper. Yeah. You know what I mean? Now that I got through it, no. But... Because it was a lot to get through.

It really was. Now that I got through it, no. But going... When like, you know, the ups and downs of like trying to get away from that image that I was first introduced to the world as and like the music changing and just growing up in general like that.

It did make me be like, man, I wish I never did this. But now I'm grateful because it just shows people like this ain't overnight. People been seeing me, you know, I've been working like so it's cool now that I've overcame it and it's like, oh, I see her come up. I respect it. Now you also have this song Trust No Bitch on the album. Yeah. Do you feel like being in a position that you're in people do try to come at you cause you know how you try to go for

somebody who's winning to get attention. Yeah. Yeah I really think that and I just that's not gonna stop the only thing that I can control is my response to it. So I'm just trying to learn how like they gonna gun for gun for you they gonna try to provoke you and if you let them then they gonna keep doing i just gotta go beyonce on these bitches you go silent it's hard though

because your era grew up on that yeah and then i'm still me like i look like it's hard to look at yourself from third person point of view so when they let me be like oh I look, like, it's hard to look at yourself from a third person point of view. So when they let me be like, oh, you got this and this now. Like, yeah, but it's hard for me to look at myself like that. Like, if you disrespect me, I'm on your ass. It's hard for me not to be. I think I only find it disrespectful when I actually

know the person. Yeah. Like, people I don't know, it's like ghosts. It's like, hey, what am I gonna do? Shoot at a ghost? I wish I thought of it like that. One day I'm gonna be like you you can't one day you got a chance to have a conversation with holly berry yeah how was that holly berry holly berry she looks so good first of all she looks so good i'm like girl i want to grow up and look like you she looks so good she was so you asked or was it already set up it was already set okay because I probably shouldn't have said that, but it was. What was the nastiest or weirdest sexual request the actress ever received?

I was, no, first of all, I really want to put emphasis, I'll probably get in trouble for this, but I want to put emphasis on that this question was pre-written because when I seen him, I said, that is disrespectful to ask Halle Berry. That is disrespectful. My grandma would slap me on the head.

So why you ain't listen to your grandma? But they was like that she said it's okay. So I'm like, okay. So when I seen her, I was like, I guess so. I'm like, y'all sure she said it's okay. So I'm like, girl, did you

see this question? Oh, you asked her beforehand? Yeah, I'm like, did you see this question? I was like, I thought it was disrespectful. She was like, no, girl, no, girl. So I'm like, okay. What if they was punking you? And then she was like, what you see this? I was like, I thought it was disrespectful. She was like, no, girl, no, girl. So I'm like, okay. What if they was punking you? And then she was like, what? I can't believe. That would be mean.

That would be mean. That would be mean. Don't set me up with Halle. All right, we got more with Big Lotto when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Power 105.1. You'll never be the same. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Big Lotto. Her album comes out this Friday, 777.

There's something about you that's very grounded. Really? Yeah. What does that mean, grounded? Grounded, like just a humility about you. And I feel like you were that way before you got in the game. So where do you contribute that to? Probably what I was saying.

Is it a tribute or a tribute? I think it's a tribute. It's some type of tribute. It's a beaut. I think it goes back to what I was saying earlier. I'm really just grateful to be where I'm saying. Is it a tribute or a attribute? I think it's a tribute. It's some type of tribute. It's a beaut. I think it goes back to what I was saying earlier. Like, I'm really just grateful to be where I'm at. I don't take it for granted because it didn't happen overnight

and I really put in the work and I've been told no so many times. I done dealt with so much stuff behind closed doors to get to where I'm at. So I just appreciate it. What did your people want you to do coming up? Like your grandma? Your mom? Like what did they want you to do coming up? Like your grandma, your mom? What did they want you to do?

It's so crazy because most people, like family, don't support like an artistic job. They're like, oh, go to college, da-da-da. But my folks never did that. Your dad managed you, right? Yeah, my daddy managed me. My mama did my business management. And everybody, it was just like a family effort thing. Like my daddy used to pay for me to be on shows.

Like, bro, can she hit the stage? I get $200 right now. Like, they supported me 100%. That's probably what attributes to let him know. How does your dad feel now, though? Because it's like, you know, he's still always in protecting mode. Yeah. So when he hears something, I'm sure he's ready to go get a baseball bat or hammer and go up somebody's head.

Yeah, he don't play by me for sure. He don't play by me for sure. He don't play by me for sure, but I think for the most part, he's just happy to see me, you know, doing what we pray for and what we prepare for for so long. You a daddy's girl? I don't know, because when I was younger, I used to

be a daddy's girl, but then I, you know, when I'm getting into like my grown woman, when I think I'm a grown woman well when i think i'm a grown woman like 16 i became more of a mom i did dad deal with that because you were drag racing with him you was his little yeah i know i really was i know put them sneakers back on it be it still be i'm not even gonna act like we just got it down pat we still be like back and forth like we get on each other head we have our time where we not with each other because it's a lot to have you know your parent involved in your business especially when they seeing you having it like a willy it get a little weird but we figuring it out

and i know he got my best interest at heart regardless and he know i love him to death and i like when you talk your on those songs though yeah though. Yeah. I mean, it's fun, but I do be thinking like, I wonder where her at. I wonder where her at. Everybody be saying it. Where her dad gotta say. Everybody be saying it. I think we just,

we just figuring it out as we go. Like, how do you F like a thug? What? A song on the album. When you F him like a thug. What your dad say about that song? He ain't heard that song. He ain't heard that one.

You can't play all the stuff. You just let them just read the track list and they know which ones to skip. Lord have mercy. How do you do that? Okay, if I'm like a thug, it's just like taking authority. It's just me not playing the laid back role. It's just me getting on top. Yeah.

Slap them. Maybe. laid-back role just me like getting on top yeah slap him maybe maybe see i think fathers we just protective and like it's anxiety you have you have a lot of anxiety when you have children period but when you have daughters you know what i'm saying so you just you're you're overly protective and i guess i can see where that could come off as like give me some space pops yeah and that's what it was a lot of that in like in the beginning stages like when i'm fresh off as like give me some space pops yeah and that's what it was a lot of that in like in the beginning stages like when i'm fresh off the rap game and i'm like getting my first car my first apartment i remember being like okay i want to custom my music now and he was like no how old were you at the time i was probably like 17 i get it 17 still kind of you know i wasn't trying to talk about popping iner like a willy.

I was just trying to be like, man, f*** you. But he was like, yeah, no. And I loved when I saw you on Angie Martinez and what you said about your haters. And you was like, if they hating on me, you just might as well figure out a way to be a fan. Yeah, because, baby, I'm going to try to prove you wrong. They always say that about me.

Like, you know what's so crazy? Big Energy, it debuted on a bubbling under on Billboard. And I was like, okay, babe. Everybody was making fun of me. They're like, oh, yeah, you thought this was going to go up? It's bubbling under. Okay. Now I'm number 14.
