So she goes in the morning, I go at night. I'm going to tell you why you were a real one, man, because, you know, I always say if you wish somebody, you know, whether you're male or female and the other person is fat, but you still love them.

But then when they get in shape and, you know, they unlock that hidden character, that. that's inside of them, and that's an amazing feeling. Well, he didn't say she was fat. She said he just got a little weight. He definitely said she was fat. What? She said she was fat. She had a kid.

I know, but he's okay. Lost the weight. Yeah. Yeah, she just lost. She just wanted to lose her little stomach, man. She's cool as far as the body go, but she just wanted to give her the extra loose with you, you know, I understand.

It's Toya from North Carolina, with her cousin. What's up, Toya? How are you? Where are you? You say something. I'm doing great. I talked to you guys early this summer, and we kind of touched on the male robins, let let go. Yes, ma'am. And, um, I talked to you guys. I, um, I talked to you guys. I, I wanted to kind of circle back to Mimi when she was speaking about, you know, the enemy and how he's trying to use distraction to get us off base on instead of what we really need to be discussing.

And that is just how we got to really face the hardships about the enemy and just standing firm, facing a head on and just trying to stay, you know, led by God so that we're not distracted because social media is so much distraction out here. Yes, it is. And it's causing everybody to go in an uprois. And last time I talked to you guys Asked me if I had the podcast already So it is officially launched Guys I wanted to give you guys

The website if you guys can check it out Yep what is it It's best B-X-S-T-I-E-M Yes man So instead of the B-E-S-B-X Hey I want to tell you some of the best advice I got recently man We had a conversation with Andrew Young

And one thing that came from that conversation Is don't get outraged, get organized Yes Say that again, Charlie That's why I love you and you mention of him wearing it and things that you do. We need more of your voice. I tune in every day. You are definitely all the hood of you're my cousin.

We first cousin, North Carolina and South Carolina. Hey, thank you, Charlie. But check out the website. Let me know what you guys mean. Strongman, you took my information down before. I haven't gotten my email yet. For real? Who took it?

Eddie, you took the information? Eddie, get the information. You put me on home. Yeah. Oh, okay. Well, we still have it then. When I'm supposed to email you got it, I forgot. I just want you to check out my podcast.

I've launched the website. Okay. And I'm going live soon. I'm not going to go live with a pre-recorded episode. Okay. To, you know, try to keep down the distraction and noise from being live and comments and things like that. So I'm just tuning out the noise and so that I can really let people know how God has delivered me through betrayal, trauma bonding and, you know, the upbringing in our childhood from growing up things, not being talked. about, where we just brush it on the rug, going to church,

ignoring the real, you know, not really ignoring the purpose, but not really having that grounded, you know, like how in black families, it's like everything that's talked about, but it's hard to not talk about it because when we get older, I'm 43 and it's like a lot of things that I'm trying to relearn now, but I'm allowing God to lead me through the lesson. I love to hear that too. Well, good luck, Mama. Appreciate you for checking in.

Absolutely. Get it off your chest. If you need to vent, call us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ NV. Just hilarious. Salamey and the guy.

We are the breakfast club. We got some special guests in the building. Yes, indeed. We got 8.03 Fresh. Home team. A young guy here in the building. Yes, sir. What's up?

How are you feeling? Come on, man. Where are them? Where are you at? They bought them. Now, if you don't know 803 Fresh, of course, they got the record right now that's if you've been out in about, especially in the South, especially HBCU, boots on the ground is their song.

congratulations boys that song moving man thank you brother when did the song actually come out December 24 that was like my crib's gift to everybody now charlemagne alive that's something been out for three years I'm like charlemagne no it has a

I was talking about just the whole line dance movement from South Carolina like you know what I'm saying it's definitely been going on more than three years it just started picking up more in like the past year and a half absolutely yeah people don't really get to see the line dance especially on the east coast

as much but when I when I DJ everywhere you get to see it. And I remember I was in Charlotte and a girl came up to me like, can you play the boots on the ground? I had no idea what she's talking about. I thought it was a mob deep song. I was like, is that a mob deep boots on the ground?

I had no idea. It's out of Louis Vee. Louis V was like, yeah, I'm going to send it to me. And then when I played it, I seen the... It went up. The fans moving. I said, whoa. You know what's crazy?

As crazy as it sounds, the current political climate kind of boosted the record too. Because I remember people started posting saying, you know, we ain't tripping off what this administration is doing. Black people are finding joy, learning new line dances. And it would always be boots on the ground with the fans.

It took everybody, like, everybody's mind away from, like, the, you know, the current, you know, stuff that's going on, man. And so, for me, it's like the unity in it. That's what makes it more appealing for me. You know, you got the two-year-old, you got the eight of two-year-old. You got the grandmamas, aunties. That's what makes it more genuine for me, man. The dope thing about it was a lot of the line dance songs, a lot of older. Yeah.

Like, you're talking 20 years older. Like, when you go to a family reunion or wedding or an HBCU, it's always the wobble-wobble. So on your time. Electric slide before I let go, then play the Beyonce version. And this is something fresh and new. So let's start from the beginning for people that don't know you. Who is 803 Fresh? Where are you from?

And how did you get into this thing called the music industry? What's going on, everybody? 803 First, the kid live in the building, man. I'm from a small town in South Carolina called Wagner, South Carolina. One stop sign, one stop light. We all share the same dog. That's been talking about to say the thing.

Most corner bigger than Wagner. Yeah. Yeah. Most corner bigger than Wagger, man. But I started off in the church, man, humble beginnings, man. Started off in the church, man, singing in the choir or whatever. You know, like the Protestant, I left away from it. You know, I went out and I started venturing into, like, more genres.

I tapped in the pop, I tapped in the R&B. I rapped a little bit. And then I found Southern Soul. Really Southern Soul found me, man. Been doing it about a year and a half now, man. And it actually saved my life, man. Explain to the people what Southern Soul is a mixture. Southern Soul is a mixture.

It has a fine undertone mixture of gospel, blues, soul, all, like, mixed together, meanded together, man. It's solely based in the South, but when you hear it, it's like feel good music. When you hear it, it's like that music that touch your bones and they, you know, it's a beautiful thing. You just got to be in one of the, like, one of the events to actually feel it. It changes the environment totally, you're saying, we advocate for good time, we advocate for unity and that. And so that's why I, I chose to pick it back on that genre the most now. Yeah, you said it saved your life. How? What were you into before? You know, with being in a rap culture, you say you have to adapt to that, you know,

that rap environment. When I came to Southern Soul, I was battling some stuff, you know what I'm saying? And it pulled me out of that because of the good feeling that it had, you know, made from me.

Then my mama was, she was able to be proud of it. You know, when I'm rapping, she don't want to have anything. She couldn't have, well, understand some of the stuff. So when she heard my very first

Southern Soul song that I dropped the call all night long, man, and I got that first confirmation from all the new then that this was a genre for me. You know what I mean? Do you remember the first record

that made you say, oh, like the one that touched your soul, what's Southern Soul record touched yourself. Just like the King George, man. He's from down my way as well, man. He definitely kicked the door down for us, man. Keep on rolling.

It's like one of those that, you know, really, really, really punched me. And it gave me, like, some inspiration, brother. Like, you know, one of those brothers, I mean, he's from South Carolina, I'm saying? He kicked the door, like, wide open for us. And when I heard that song, I'm saying, I automatically knew that this was the type of genre

that I wanted to be in. Will you surprise how fast this record called on? Of course. I mean, because it's everywhere. And, you know, and people are learning to dance quickly. When did you realize how big the record was? Man, I woke up one morning. I checked my TikTok.

I mean, I had so many notifications on TikTok and IG. You know what I thought somebody had died. So when I checked it or whatever, I seen the video, the video was in a spot. Now I'm always called the S-Barr. It's a mecca for, like, the lion dance, you're saying. So I seen that, and it was like maybe 20 videos. I went to sleep and I woke up.

It was like 500 videos. I knew at that point right then that it was, I might have a little something. And over the course of time, now being, what, three months, almost four months, man. It is past me. So right now I'm playing catch-up to the song. Everybody have been trying to put a face with the music.

So here I am. Good morning. I feel like that's what, in Sluke to King George, I feel like that's what he hasn't done yet. He hasn't put a face to his music. Because everybody listens to, you know, at least down south you see people play a lot of King George's music. And he's a young dude.

He only 30-something years old, right? Yeah, brother. I think Joe about 30-something, 38. Yeah, but I'm saying I feel like he hasn't done that yet. I wonder why. I don't know. I mean, timing is everything, especially for me. I mean, look how long I've been doing music.

I've been doing music for over 20 years. As far as Southern Soul, I dropped five songs before Boots on the Ground. And then it picked up, you know, so, I mean, timing is everything. So, y'all definitely stay tuned. Y'all going to see a lot more of him and a lot more of the Southern Soul front coming. When I noticed it got big was when I seen kids doing it. You know, from old people to kids, it was everybody got big kids doing it. And it's feel good.

It's like music that you had the family reunion. stuff like that, did anybody try to, like, reach out about signing you or anything like that? Oh, mercy. I don't know. IG been blowing up. I ain't. Crazy. It's definitely been crazy, man.

But, you know, we started this company. Shots out, the Snake Eyes music group, man. We started this company, you know, from the bottom up, you know. We came with a vision. It was just a vision. And I think that we've done more in a year than a lot of folks have done in, like, five, seven years. Are you signed to a major or no? You're doing everything independent?

We all independent, yeah. Oh, so you get everything that you eat? Yeah. I'm proud of us, man. I ain't a lot. I'm proud of us. Because, you know, we all learn from each other. You're saying, as we move, we learn, we grow.

And, um, shots out the young guy, man. You know, that's why I brought him. He's one of the United Fronts that we stand with as far as Southern. So they accepted me with open arms, man. And they had been doing, you know, prior to me. But they showed me the roads that definitely wouldn't stand your game. And I can appreciate that, man. So everything independent.

So we're going to, I'm entertaining something, but just not right now. How long have you been young guy? Young guy? Man, I've been young guys for a long time. 30 years? I was going to say I told him I said I'm going to change my name

an uncle guy in a minute man I'm going to say hey I'm getting on up and now I could they're going to be crazy because folks see me that say you know you're a rapper

I'm like now then I get on stage and I'm singing some soul and they're like damn you know I ain't expected but I kind of kept my name

back from the younger day when I was a rapping man so when I jumped into music my story kind of similar to he is you know I've been I've been rolling in the soul and soul

game probably about for the two and a half years now and power of social media. I had a record that, you know, I was singing in the garage and posted it and joined my life, you know what I'm saying? Insulin. So, yeah, man, so I kind of, I was tapped at him on the rap side

just like, yeah, man, came up in the church, you know what I'm saying, try different things. So far as you, me physically doing music, man, I stepped away from music almost 14 years. So when I finally just made up my mind, I'm saying, get back in the studio, get it rolling. You know what I'm saying? professionally record me and song, sit down

and that record, you know what I'm saying? Two record. later. I was driving trucks, man. I ain't drove a trucking almost a year and a half now, man. So how'd y'all connect? Man, we met a couple, about about two years ago? Yeah, I think. My very first show out there in Natchez, I think. Yeah.

Natchez, Mississippi, man. My first show, kind of nervous, you were saying, me personally. You know, I had just thought it was such a soul, so the brother came, he hollied at me, he said, he gave me that little pep talk of whatever, you were saying. I shrug up my shoulders, and I didn't. He came to me, like, man, like, young guy, man, what I, because I was kind of moving

pretty good, then, you know what I'm saying? I had a record that was keeping me busy and he was like man what what I got to do advice can you give me I was like man you know to keep grinding bro you gonna get that one and you gonna know you got so when I heard that boost on the ground I called him I said you get ready to be a rich you know what I'm saying I knew it from the first 10 seconds 10 seconds of the song I was like man this this fin to go crazy and now I just see you look on social media shack dancing too you got oh yeah like man that is crazy you know what I'm saying so

So it's a blessing. And man, I'm proud of my brother and we're just trying to keep it going. What inspired boots on the ground, though? Like when you sat down and said, you heard that beat and you're like, this is what I want to write about. Man, I tell the story all the time, man.

I had a show in Phoenix City. Was it in the back of the van, whatever? I had a chance to experience my first trail ride. Went to the trail ride. You're saying a couple of ladies had fans and whatever was hot, so, you know, they got fans. So I got a chance to go to my second trail ride and I didn't see no fans.

So I posed the question. Who are the fans at? You know what I'm saying? So with Boots on the ground, Boots on the Grounds already align that terminology you're saying so you know when they say boots on the ground you know it might have a party we just touch down type of deal so I just really merged

the two ideas and it became a good marriage what's the trail ride for the people who don't know listen man trail rise is you know ATVs horses you're saying that line dances it's a whole like combination of all good thing it's definitely a culture is not really just an event and that's why I feel like Southern

Soul and line dancing is a perfect mixture you know I mean it's a great marriage you know it piggybacks off of one piggybacks off of the other. And if you have a truck right now, man, I promise you could have a good time. You might get a little dusty. But I promise you, you're going to have a good time.

Now, every time you make a song, is it a line song now? No. Okay. See, that's one thing I didn't want to get caught in. I didn't want to get caught in, you know, just being the line dance guy. At the boot, at the boot.

So, you know, and I've been thinking about, you're saying names for like an EP or album, whatever, you're saying, and I really wanted to be versatility, because I wanted to show them on Allskirts. I got Dipiscuits music. Yeah, but you could do it. Like, remember how Jermaine Dupree did back in the day?

Like, he had the, what was it called it? The Beat All Stars, where it was just one album just doing all the uptempo. Oh, you're talking about, like, the, like, Shottie Swing My Way. He had a whole album of that, and then he had a whole album different ways of doing things. So you could do that, like an anthem like that

because your HBCU is going to be crazy this week. Springflings, homecomings, all that. They should start booking you now to try to get the cheapest prices as possible. You probably booked. Man, I got, like, schedule crazy. Yeah, that's what's up. Yeah, that's what's up, man. It's a blessing, man, definitely.

I know you don't want to just fall into the line dance, you know, genre of music, but it's like nobody has made any that are great since, like the five that we got. Probably Chacha. That's the last one I came, man. That could be, yeah, Chachia. Cupid now. Cupid, oh, shit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, but none since then. And it's, like, it's kind of hard to do. Like, you know what I mean? So for you to just come up with one and just do it. just off of what you felt, you got to do that more. I'm tired of that after the same six months.

I feel like, my opinion, I feel like line dance is like the new disco. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? It's a big thing in the black culture that, you know what I'm saying? We're just trying to shine light on because you got people who, y'all,

you know, y'all from the city, man. It didn't make people from the city, man. I'll find me some boots. They'll buy me a van cowboy hat. It's a culture that they shine a light on so people can experience. So it's just lion dance.

It's been around for a while. but like you just ain't got bigger man they got sell them to South Carolina to be 7,000 people out there you see man African music too African music has it has it as well they got African line dances like Jerusalem is a line dance yeah absolutely yeah yeah yeah

that's the ill thing though the artist it's not like you created the dance no yeah yeah yeah see that's the sweetest thing about it too you said oh you didn't create the dance no no oh I didn't know that they choose it they choose it whether it's going to be you said a line dance to it or not you know what I'm saying when they see that on TikTok

it was like four or five dances different dances to it you know saying I reposted it once I started to trade little when I posted it everybody took on you're saying to that one because it was real easy it wasn't Tamia ish you know to me it got by I'm still confused with that man I don't think that I mean that's a line dance that's a line dance yeah they do a line dance too it's line dance that's line it's like the cursive of line dancing you feel you're so confused with that one you got to be you got you got a pro for that one yeah yeah that's um definitely not intermediate anyway um You got to learn your own dance, basically.

Yeah, and I can't dab with it. So you just picked that one and was like, this is the one we rocked with it, because if 20 people said different dances, that's why I said the- and everybody being in sync. The people chose it, man. Boots on the ground was not intended to be a line dance song.

It was just blessed to be that way. Even with the fan, bang, bang. Like with the fans, that. That's something that you do when you hide. Yeah, you know, and I didn't know that fans, like the fans were like a big part of the, you know, the Treve-Rise. until I made the song with it.

And now I hear like, you know, 10. I'm investigative journalist Melissa Jeltson. My new podcast, What Happened in Nashville, tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together in the chaos that followed. We have some breaking news to tell you about. Tennessee's Attorney General is suing a Nashville doctor. In April 2024, a fertility clinic in Nashville shut down overnight

and trapped behind locked doors, were more than a thousand frozen embryos. I was terrified. Out of all of our journey, that was the worst moment ever. At that point, it didn't occur to me what fight was going to come to follow. But this story isn't just about a few families' futures. It's about whether the promise of modern fertility care can be trusted at all. It doesn't matter how much I fight.

It doesn't matter how much I cry over all of this. It doesn't matter how much justice we get. None of it's going to get me pregnant.

The Chiefs come on a flip pass to Rice. Near side, touchdown! Remandre Stevens is my sleeper this week. This is a match-out where I think I can slide in Stevenson into my flex position and he could deliver double-digit points this week. Drake takes the snap, hands it off.

We were in the car, like a Rolling Stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there. about your mother. And I said, what? What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have. I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened. These are just a few of the moving and important stories

I'll be holding space for on my upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets. Whether you've been on this journey with me from season one, or just joining the family. Secret's family. We're so happy to have you with us. I'll dive deep into the incredible power of secrets, the ones that shape our identities, test our relationships, and ultimately reveal who we truly are.

So it definitely is a big, like a big important part of the culture. So I think I just revived it. Why not the church fan?

A church fan, too. They use the church fan. I think the sales on church fans are the all-time hat right now. Yeah. Damn. Church fans. You know, Amazon, when I first came up

with the song or whatever, they were just clacking fans. If you go on Amazon right now, they're boots on the ground fans. You got Louis Vuitton got fans. Oh, I saw that. No, I saw that. That was some bulls.

Wow. But that's when I knew y'all was getting, I was like, oh, they're out of here now. And T-Boo got boots on the ground fans. You're saying, so it definitely has been impactful to the coach. Man, I'm just proud to be a part of it. They're gonna be waiting for them Timu fans.

I'll tell you that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Got a thousand out there right now, but anyway. Everybody's gonna be waiting for new music. Do you got more after boots on the ground? I'll tell you something. I got so much music, I'm saying, and I got music like before. I got a previous catalog.

I got five songs that I dropped. Like I said, I've only been a year and a half. Now I mean, but as far as a catalog, man, I got a wide spread catalog that's getting ready to come. It was just the timing we were waiting on. You know what I mean? So I think it's the perfect time for everybody. to see me and you know what I got to offer versatility is coming what's the

toughest challenge about being an artist from South Carolina the weight that's on my back you're saying because not only do I I mean yeah loose on the ground is for me but I stand with a lot of weight that I'm carrying as far like Southern Soul as a whole because see this is what my main point is and I ain't go out this is the reason why I came here you said this morning I want to make Southern Soul that main genre you know it's been you know sublime like it's been like undertone for so long and you know that chitlin circuit has been going on like you got grates that came through that chitlin circuit like tyrone day it's marvellous seas james brown there's muddy waters all these guys would come

under that chitlin circuit man and it hadn't really had a uh a catalyst for it as been brought to the front so i take myself to be a martyr in that he said i want to be able to display it as being a main genre and showing that you know we come with the united front i got sharmika joe out there you're saying grown uh grown ass woman i got frank johnson out there uh you can hate on me. I got a young guy right here, you know what I'm saying? Like take head. These are all very impactful songs to the culture. And when I bring my boots on the ground, I want to bring them as well. So that's probably like the biggest thing as far as like, you know, I'm carrying that weight and I want to be a good advocate for them. Well, you know you got to get

yourself all the way through the door first. You know what I'm saying? Like that's what I think a lot of people falter a little bit because they want to represent for the whole state and they want to bring everybody with them. And usually all those people end up weighing them down before you get the way you need to be. I think that, uh, with, uh, with, with me how I present myself, how I carry myself. I carry myself as, you know, hey, he's a strong front by himself, you know, it's just I want to be a good representative for him.

You know, it's not that I'm pulling them up, you're saying the way that I walk, my character is what it puts it out there like, oh, oh, I like him. Let me see what they got going on. You know what I'm saying? I let my walk, you're saying, speak for him. I mean, it's Arkansas having a moment right now. You got Trapped Dickie. Yeah, man.

Shots out of the trap, man. You know, Black Zach. Yeah, man. Little boss, rest in peace, speak, or not because I guess a lot of people doing it. but I really love what the Southern Soul is doing because that's a whole different genre and we call it the Chitlin Circuit.

But really, what I call it is the heart and soul of black America. Definitely, bro. Like, that's what the majority of black people in America are in the South. Don't advocate for violence, man. We advocate for unity, like good timing, you know what I'm saying? You just got to pay attention to a lot of this music, man.

And it's like real life relatable stuff, bro. It ain't, you know, fabricated, you know, it's real life relatable things. And I think that's why people gravitate, like, towards it a little bit more. Because I'm able to, you say, oh yeah i'm going through that right now you know i mean so i think that's why everybody been gravitate towards it but it's definitely a movement man well tell them where to follow you

Amidea Drama, Big Body, Cardi B. What's happening? What is going on, y'all? How you feel? I'm tired. Morning sickness? No, no. Okay.

This one is. I really ain't got that this time around. I don't know if it's my age or I don't know because it's like, I was like, girl, please. You know, we got a whole baby shower up here for Cardi. We got Golden Corral from the Bronx. A real one, though. Not just, not just like just catering.

They got me cakes and slushies and a whole big food. I can't, oh, I can wait till this interview for, I was smelling it. I was like, I could smell some chicken. And my security regard talking about like, it was some noodles. That ain't no noodles. They thought you was tripping. Yeah, I could smell it. You ever ate that golden crowd before in the Bronx?

I never ate at that golden corral. Okay. I went, I forgot what state I went to that I did in Golden Corral. And you got the baby shower chair? Yeah, I got the baby shower chair. Oh, the day shot, buddy. Bring the very, very shirt down.

Let me ask you a question. When you look back, why did it take eight years to drop a second out? And you can't blame being pregnant because you're pregnant now? No, and that's why we wanted to tell people like, it was never because I was pregnant because my mouth is not pregnant.

You know what I'm saying? I'm just very, like, picky. Everybody always said that I dropped the ball when I didn't release the album after whopping up but to be honest with you I only had like six songs and I was trying

but I didn't like nothing and it's like it shouldn't be my second album and then like just a whole bunch of things that was just happening in my life and I just felt like I wasn't ready how many songs you thought you needed

do you had joints you had press out at that time press was hard because invasion of privacy was only 13 yeah but I I just feel like invasion of privacy I just didn't put a lot of like thought in it I was just like I have to put an album out

I'm about to have a baby but then like the second one I think I overthinked it but see that's what I'm saying that's a good thing when you was putting out the gangster bitch mixtapes and invasion of privacy

you wasn't thinking about it there was no pressure like just going there and have fun yeah I don't know why I just overthink it even I just feel like as you get older two you just overthink too much and it's just like you just gotta do it do you feel like you're still proving yourself

as an artist or you passed there Oh, absolutely. Mm-hmm. Especially, like, now with this whole second album thing, it's just been, like, a whole nasty debate for the past two months. And it's, like, kind of have to prove it to them, but it's, like, kind of don't have to prove nothing to nobody. But I'm motivated.

I feel really good. Okay. What, the debate you talk about, which debate? Because there's always debates about you. Yeah. Is it that people feel like the album is too late, or they don't think that the music is going to be good? Like, what is the debate exactly?

It's just so many different things that I hear. Like, for example, like, my numbers prediction. Or, like, if I don't hit a certain number, like, the label's going to drop me or, like, if I'm a priority in the label and all of these talks and it's just, like, what are you talking about? Like, that is, that's not true.

Like, a lot of people think that I'm not going to go tour and it's like honey life nation gave me a check I'm going there's a there was a check that it was given and there was a check that I got to go get I'm going to get that check so what's I saw you post the video we covered it this morning of your body preparation for the tour and you talk about the stretching and all that but what's going to be your mental preparation because I heard you say you're going to be leaving the baby's home yeah but like it's just this is like my fourth this is my fourth rodeo this ain't my first second baby this is my fourth baby like you know i just had a baby last year and i do have a lot of videos i was working out while i was pregnant like on my last

weeks and um when i gave birth like in four days i just felt like so like like nothing so it's like i not only am i going to prepare myself for the tour like because i just have to prepare myself like physically so i could just feel good my second baby he too big he broke me my first one i had to stitch my last one down there the cat oh she ain't had no kid yet oh god yeah i yeah i ripped i rip you didn't know that happens no yeah how did you pee huh it oh my god cardie hold my hand it was hard yes i'm so sorry but but but but that's what i'm saying like it's like now things are just a little different and I'm more experienced like The third one was so easy.

So I'm expecting this one to be as easy as well in the name of the Lord. Like, that's why I'm like, I did it. I just did last year. I could do it in this year. Yeah, yeah. I know a lot of women who look at you and they say Cardi knows how to balance it all. She got the kids. She got the career.

Have there ever been a moment where you questioned if you could have it all? I'm going to make it. I'm going to make it. If I want something, I'm going to make it happen. It's just really like the how bad you want it. If you really wanted that bad. If you want it bad, you get up and you go get it. It ain't no complaining.

Ain't no crying about it. I'm tired. I'm tired every day. My feet hurt every single day. But it's like, okay, if you want this to be successful, you got to get out there. Like, it's like, you know, crying, you know this. If I want it, like, it's like, it's like, this is what you chose. Like, it is what it is.

What about people around you, though? Because you know it's still a business. So they was like, oh, my God, she's pregnant again with this one. So my label and Live Nation, like, they asked me, like, it's like, hey, you know, we can move the album to the beginning of the year, and you could, like, tour in the summertime. I was like, no, I'm going to put out my album in September, and we're going to go on tour on February. I got things to do in the summertime. This is going to be the schedule, and I'm promising you guys that I'm not going to let you down. And it's like, okay, we trust you.

and I've been showing them that it's like I'm down and I'm doing it and they're very motivated and we've been like a team like it's like yeah yeah yeah we're doing it the day starts off rocky and cranky but then when things are turning good

and we see the numbers and we see the vision is like wow I'm motivated I can't wait to push so they always been supported on me though they never been like it's like they know they know when I want something my work ethic if I really want it they know that I'm going to do it the only time that I just be

not giving in my all is when I'm going to like mental distress and people like don't understand that so people will think that it's because of the kids or because I'm just whatever no when I'm in mental distress I don't want to do nothing but I feel very like I ain't nothing really bothering me right now

like I'm good that's good have you always been that in tune with like your mental of like I need to take a break from work because it's easier now because Cardi B is established she's a superstar but when in the beginning

how did you deal with like because we've watched you go through things from all of your career how did you what's the difference now I didn't even you know what I didn't even notice that I was taking so many long breaks like I would tell myself

like it's like you know what I need to go on a hiatus for like two months next thing you know it's like damn I haven't put out of a song in eight months and nine months and I wasn't even realizing it that it was so long and I was because I was overthinking I was overstressing or sometimes

I was really so sad that I couldn't even like open my mouth or think to like record like I just was so unmotivated that you're like telling yourself like it's like I need a break and then it's like the break turns into so long and you just be like damn what did I did that whole time trying to get to the next step yeah and I didn't even notice or realize that it was taking that long

I was just overthinking. I was just too tired. I was too tired of stress. So that was what messing me up. What's stressing you out, though? Like, is it like the industry? Like, you find yourself comparing yourself to other people? It's not really comparing.

The industry, relationships, just so many things. Like, and then, like, it will affect me for, like, it won't just affect me for, like, a day. Because some people will, it's real easy for people to be like, oh, just get. yourself 72 hours sometimes it will mess you up for like a week or so or longer especially if it's if it's if it's if it's heartache like you you boy you can't fight that you really can't fight that so it's like grief it's like grief so i don't even know but i just know that i got somebody there always telling me like you go girl and i'm here i feel really good i'm in a good space right now i don't feel like i'm sad i don't feel like i'm nothing i feel like it's like i need to

to get this right now, right now. Did this album feel therapeutic to you? Because, you know, when I hear songs like, dead right out the gate. Killing these holes. You started with dead and you ended with killing these holes. So did that feel good to just get in there and express that? Some songs in the album, it was not good songs to do.

And then, like, some songs, like, that it is me talking about, like, on some cocky-ish. I was really angry because I feel like a lot of these girls were trying me and it's like I don't like feeling try because it's like I feel like I have beef with so many girls growing up that is really like that and it's like I know you bitches are not really like that but you feel like that because right now I'm going through this hate thing on social media so you think you can take advantage and everybody's going to take your side

but I'm going to let you know like it's like me and you you you you not nowhere near me when it comes to

artistry where it comes to nothing when it comes to the street like girl I'll I'll crush you like you're a little pussing me it's not even about

but no it's not even about being but tough this and that because a lot of these girls they don't care of you fucking out they know they're never going to see you and they're not really fighters

but they're like antagonizers And it's like They get off that And it's just like You gotta know when to come at somebody I'm gonna let you keep trying me Thinking when you try me When you're at a certain position

And then that's when I'm gonna play my position And I'm gonna remind you right there Because there sometimes A girl will come out And everybody love her And everybody's cheering for her And everybody's ruling for her And then they will try you

at that moment but if you say something back you will look like you're hating and I'm not hating I just peep that you're trying me but I'm going to stay silent because one thing about it all the all artists

me every artist you're going to experience a different tie it happened to all of us no matter what genre you in like it's going to happen and when that happened I'm going to remind you how you tried me for real

and I'm going to remind you like it's like you see why I have last this so long because you think you're so bright you think you're bright but you're not that smart I might

I might talk away I might do this and that but it's like I'm very I'm smart I'm very bright I know how to play and now it's time

for me to get you because you was you was trying me at a bad time who was trying me I was going through you heard about we've heard pretty

and petty pretty and petty we know exactly what you're talking about I said on the song pretty and petty you come out the gate

out the gate straight at beer yeah all right So you said in the song, you waited, you told her, you were going to do it on your terms when you were ready. You do the song, you drop it. At this point, though, like, I mean, so that reignites everything. Because I remember y'all were going back and forth.

Your whole thing was you felt like you're just doing this because you want my platform, you want attention. I'm going to give it to you, and then I'm done with it. This reignites it all. Like, why even a dresser again on the album? Because you mentioned my kids trying to be cute. There's going to be times that, like, people throw shots at you or, like, there's going to be times, like, you know, like, when. and she did her little this and it was trash. Like it's like, it could have been trash.

People dragged you and I couldn't leave it at that. But it's like everything on social media is going to be seen. So when my kids grow up one day and they see that you mentioned them and they're going to ask me like, so what you said, what you did, I'm not going to tell my kids like, you know, I just felt like she took the high road because she lost because people wasn't on her side. Now I'm not saying that to my kids.

I'm like, you see how I violated. You know what it is? I feel like last year every artist was. like beefing girl like every every artist was beefing and I thought and I think she was going to get a moment out of that because she thought that I was

copying her and I had a conversation with her first we was cursing each other out then I had a real conversation with her and I was like listen I'm not copying you I don't even look at you like you're not a person that I look at or I'm inspired by and the conversation ended then she kept going

because of a music video and it's like oh girl you definitely not on the moon board I whatever more or less then this bitch right it'd be a lot of funny behind the scenes this producer that was working with like my ex

he was going around saying that I was messing with a guy and there was allegedly a sex tape or something right yes and I was like what me hell no hell no but it was a lie and it was ridiculous and a bitch can say

no damn's the phone because I got messages when I first started talking to him and I was like I have to get to the bottom of who saying that she was trying to plant a seed that I was cheating on this guy with a blood that you think that I'm

you're not from the hood so to you because I'm blood you think that I'm like oh I'm pressed to mess with the blood and that's nothing to me that's like being around Dominicans or something like it's like that don't mean nothing to me everybody's mad ball everybody this everybody and then this is New York

one thing about a New York person or anybody they're going to talk you was really trying to even mess things up in my home and it's like damn you hate it on me so much you hate it on me so much and I kept saying like it's like prove it prove it show me a text show me when I flirt because when I'm loyal I'm very loyal like I don't text I don't flirt I don't look at people in the eye because I don't even want you to think that did I even like you and you was doing all that shit and it's like I got you and it's like and I know it was confirmed that it was heard that

was going around with that rumor because when she did her this she kept saying like oh why say how you how you like a cheater some shit that i i forgot what she was saying but it's like so say say who i was say who i was dealing with say it oh you just made that up you just made that up you just made that up you was being messy and there's an eye bitch now i got a a wet belt for you and you ain't even going to know when it's coming have you ever got hit with a wet belt not a wet one my daddy beat me with an incision cord

and made me take a bath so it's kind of the same thing no it's when you it's when you're in the shower and your mom find out something and then she just whipped your ass and your body's wet yeah

I'm gonna hit you with a wet belt and I told it and then it's like you and then you thought it was cute to put my kid's name I'm gonna get you and you did it the right way though you put it out put it on your album

you know she should be thinking blossom because I did that song last year but I was so nasally because I had a I was so congested. You need to thank her. Knowing you get sick when you're pregnant,

you can't recover for like three weeks. It'll be messed up, nose be stuffy, feed be fat. When the internet be coming for you, Cardi, whether it's the fans or haters or blogs, does it make you like second guest sharing your truth? Or does it make you feel like, you know what, I'm going to be more unfiltered.

I'm going to talk more. Sometimes, yes, and sometimes, no. Like, sometimes I just can help myself. I'm like, I'm going to say what I want to say. But sometimes I be like, I just got to. I reserve myself because I don't want people to be like damn you just you just always always always on that you just always always always on that so sometimes I be like I whatever and then sometimes I'd be like

you you know what like bitch fuck you why you all my like stop stop like you like you you you're taking advantage now and you're playing with me and sometimes people will be like oh don't give them clow and I'm gonna give you the cloud today I need to get this my fucking chest I got a dick on my chest Damn, that's what Diddy say. Listen, and that's your question. Like, you say, what's the biggest thing motherhood has taught you about yourself? That, like, the fame and money couldn't. Motherhood is hard.

No matter how much money you have, no matter how much you plant, motherhood is hard. It also makes me, it almost makes me, like, not want to, like, lose anything. I don't, like, I don't want to lose. Like I don't want to be a quitter Like I don't ever want my kids to be like oh So why you end did this? I was like because people is being so harsh on me And it's like it's giving them an example to be

To like be like all right So if people are being mean to you You automatically quit like you automatically Finish I don't want to do this no more like no And I don't know Something about it about motherhood That it's just like

It's just so beautiful I love them kids so bad But you were making this album Which one of these songs, like, were, what was the hardest emotionally for you to make and rehear and be in the studio doing? Man, you were. And because I was going through it at that time. Like, I was going, it was not like, it was like, oh, I was talking about something that happened in 2018 or whatever. It was happening at that time, and I was doing it at that time.

And the hook was just so beautiful that it was supposed to be like a female singing the hook, but nobody was singing it with that emotion that Dougie did it I'm like I don't care if it doesn't make sense I'm keeping Dougie And when so And getting into those emotions

And the things that you were experiencing While making an album Did that put you in a place where Because from what I've been seeing anyway You tell me from wrong The way that you started talking about The divorce and offset and all the things And the way he started

Now you guys it seems like It's a lot more peaceful on both ends No it's not peaceful No no it's not peaceful I was not asking the album help, but no, it's not peaceful, respectful. What is it now? It's not peaceful at all. I don't I can't even talk about it because

it's like, it's like court thing, but it's like it is not peaceful at all. It is not, it is. When you heard his song move on, offsets move on, what do you think? I laugh. Whatever, you let the world think what they want to think. People see

it. People see what's up. I'm about nobody. They can't prove that I about them. Did it hurt your films when he said you couldn't cook? No, because you know that. But now you got all these bitches that cook for you, why are you still bothering me? And you used to be on TikTok.

You never said that you could like you were a chef boy or did you be on TikTok making your, you know, cooking what you cook and doing your things sometimes?

Do you find any peace and independence? Like when you just alone, like you're not in a relationship or nothing? Or do you have to be in a relationship with a much?

Um, when I was like completely single, like when I just was completely single, like when I just was completely single, as I could see, I was outside with my friends. I just had my baby. And I just had to get out of that funk. And it's like, sometimes it feel good. And then sometimes, like, you'll be in the club. Like, I just told that to somebody.

Like, you'll be in the club and it's 3.30 and you're drunk. And you're realizing that. I'm investigative journalist Melissa Jeltson. My new podcast, What Happened in Nashville, tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse. And the patients who banded together. in the chaos that followed. We have some breaking news to tell you about. Tennessee's attorney general is suing a Nashville doctor.

In April 2024, a fertility clinic in Nashville shut down overnight and trapped behind locked doors were more than a thousand frozen embryos. I was terrified. Out of all of our journey, that was the worst moment ever. At that point, it didn't occur to me what fight was going to come to follow. But this story isn't just about a few families' futures. It's about whether the promise of modern fertility care can be trusted at all. It doesn't matter how much I fight.

Doesn't matter how much I cry over all of this. It doesn't matter how much justice we get. None of it's going to get me pregnant.

He was the wide receiver two in fantasy. I think Rishie Rice just goes off this week. The Chiefs come on a flip pass to Rice. Near side, touchdown! Ramondri Stevens is my sleeper this week. This is a match-out where I think I can slide in Stevenson into my flex position and he could deliver double-digit points this week. Drake takes the snap, hands it off.

My book, The Big Short, tells the story of the build-up and burst of the U.S. housing market back in 2008. It follows a few unlikely, but lucky people who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception. It was like feeding the monster, said Eisman. We fed the monster until it blew up. The monster was exploding.

Yet on the streets of Manhattan, there was no sign anything important had just happened. Now, 15 years after the Big Short's original release, and a decade after it became an Academy Award-winning movie, I've recorded an audiobook edition for the very first time. The Big Short Story, what it means when people start betting against the market, and who really pays for an unchecked financial system, is as relevant today as it's ever been, offering invaluable insight into the current economy and also today's politics. the big short now at Pushkin.fm slash audiobooks, or wherever audiobooks are sold. Hi, I'm Danny Shapiro, host of the hit podcast Family Secrets.

What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is shoes and identity that other people can't have. I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened. These are just a few of the moving and important stories I'll be holding space for on my upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets.

like I'm not up to date to that because I'm just old. Like, I'm 33, but I know the younger kids like it, but it's like, it's not really, like, my thing. Like, even on TikTok and stuff, like, you don't see me doing TikTok dances, not because it's something wrong with it. I'm just, I'm just

a little older, and I just don't know how to do that. Do this video of 10 goddamn times I'm tired already. Like, what I like and what I see on my, on my timeline, that's who I'm going to go to. Like, if I like you, I'm going to go to you. And you're pregnant. Like, you ain't got time to be sitting down with nobody.

I can't even say pregnant because I've been doing everything. I have literally done everything and anything. Like even after those days in court, I was still doing like I have 6 a.m. mornings all the way like today. Like I woke up today at 6 a.m. My night is going to finish at 3 a.m. Because that's when my party finished. Then tomorrow I have to wake up and I have to do those meet and greets and I have to meet about 4,000 people.

Like it's like it just don't stop for me. but it's like, I'm not going to go to podcasters that I don't like. Why am I going to go sit down with you? You don't like me. You talk mad shit about me. You contribute to my pain. You contribute, like, to my pressure. So why am I going to sit down with your ass?

I'm going to sit down with people not like, oh, because people are like, oh, you sit down with people that kiss your eyes. No, I like positive people. I like people that make me feel good. I like people that I be like, you know what? I like them. I can hang out with them. But I don't like you.

Why am I sitting down with you to prove what point? You know, people think you actually pay me. They think you pay me to talk good about your. No, I don't. I just really, and I really just be talking to Charlemagne, not all the time. Like, sometimes you would even believe, you would even believe the things that we were talking about. What we talk about the most? Politics.

That's right. That's true. That's what really we're talking to. Most of the time, that's what we really be talking about. Even the other day, I was so busy, but I was going to hit you up. Like, it's like, oh, I would have some jokes for you. I would have some jokes for you. Not even to be messy, but, like, to be messy, but it's like, I know you could have came harder,

Shalman. Come on now. Are you talking about he was being called a girl? Yeah, like, it was like, well, I'm being called a girl. Like, it was like, you're telling me that I'm not secure to my woman. My woman is financially secure, though. That's a fact. There ain't nothing wrong being around. Finanational.

Did you, daughter birthday, like a f***er like a bar mitzbo? Like, you can't talk to you. You can't fucking talk to me. You're asking NBA or you got a view. Have you seen that house? I had. See his wife closet? I'll never leave.

Thank you for coming to my daughter's Sweet 16, though. That was amazing. That is like a black barbeds for, right? Like, it's fly to see black and brown people doing shit like that. Yeah. And everybody, it just made me realize, like, it's like, wow. So this is how my daughter's birthday is going to be 16. Word.

All white folks, huh? Oh, culture is gone. Baby. I want to buy 16. Yes, especially when you live at. Especially when you live at. She's going to be to have been famous for a long time at that point. Pulling up to the fashion shows, yeah, it's going to be very upper brow, very white.

No, it's not even, it's just like, it's just. Her cousin's going to be there. You had to be at that party, so you could be like, wow. You would just have, like, an understanding of, like, what the schools are like over there. Yes, exactly. So sometimes I be thinking like, it's like, damn, my kid don't got flavor like that. But that's why they don't have no flavor like that. But she got you.

Yeah. We saw a coach the other day, coach it got it. Alexander Wing. We talked about it up here. But they're so innocent. They're so innocent over there. They're innocent in Jersey. But.

That is interesting, right? Because you're raising your kids in a mansion, right, in Jersey, but you grew up in the Bronx. How do you make sure they don't grow up spoiled? Because that's what I'd be trying to focus on. They spoil. They're not going to be. And it's not even if they're spoiled. They don't know nothing else.

They don't know nothing else. But they do as, you know what I noticed, as long as they were their cousin, they don't care where they at. Because when they be in my grandma's house, or like when there was in the yard in the country country they they I kept calling like are you guys okay

as long as they were their cousin kids are okay they just got to be with their cousins that's the trick they got to be with their cousins they're going to have a good time anywhere long as their cousins around their friends around so why did you ask just my last cousin

why did you ask yourself am I the drama and I like that you holding yourself accountable you know for what you might be on but why did you ask yourself that question? Because I just always feel like people that just don't like me or they will like pick on me or something.

Because you're on top. But it always been like that even when I was like in high school. Because you've always been on top. Regardless of the money, your personality, the fact that people naturally gravitate towards you, the fact that people naturally like you. You know some people who hate you

just because of how everybody else love you? Yes. And that's why it's like, damn. Am I the drama? am I the one is it me Jesus like it's like why I'm always

like it's like things could go a certain type of way for me but it's just not going to go it's like I don't know if I chase the bad things I don't know if the bad things is me I don't but I'm also very blessed too like it's like maybe I be thinking it's because my it is my personality

it is because like my voice just stand out and it always meant like that which is a it's a it's God It's God. It's a blessing.

It's a curse. Sometimes it occurs, but it's really like a blessing because sometimes I feel like I get it harder than most. And I don't care if people say that they don't see it. They know it. They know it. I really get it hard. Harder than most. But then again, I am very blessed.

And some people might think that it's like, well, she don't get that much because she's still here. She stays in certain things. And it's like, maybe I am blessed or maybe I just, I don't know. Well, don't spend all day looking at the comments. No, no, no. Let the album come out. Yeah. Let people have their opinion, and you keep it moving, okay?

Yeah. I'm telling you, today, it really feels like, I don't know if it's my birthday. I don't know if it's like, it really feels like, I don't know, like, I'm... Just enjoy the moment. I'm enjoying it. Well, I can't really enjoy it because I'm tired as hell, and I got a lot of work to do. Damn. I got to go to all these meetings.

reads and stuff that's what i'm like oh god am i gonna be able to do all that i'm what i'm gonna do it but i woke up this morning and i wanted like to cry i'm like what i want to cry for tears of joy yeah absolutely it's carty b it's the breakfast club you're fake ass charlemagne he only wants charlemagne

damn sholomein who gives a donkey of the day to name a donkey of the day goes to a florida man named christopher newton now what does your uncle shala always say about the great state of florida The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today is no exception. Now, I have a theory that people don't know right from wrong anymore because of social media. Let me explain. You can go on social media and literally witness any criminal activity you want,

and we end up seeing these activities so much that some people probably don't even know what they are witnessing. It's criminal, okay? It's criminal when you watch people get punched in the face on social media. All right? It's criminal when you see folks flashing illegal guns on social media. It's criminal when you see people showing off drugs. They are using and selling, okay? Street racing, reckless driving, drifting, animal abuse.

It's so many crimes we witness on social media, but because we don't see the consequences of them displaying this criminal behavior as often as we should, a lot of people think this stuff is normal. Well, in the words, an honorable minister, Louis Farrakhan, just because something has become the norm doesn't mean it's normal. And committing crime is never going to be. normal. And just because you commit crimes and act like it's everyday, you know, regular smegler activities does not make what you, uh, doing not a crime. Okay. Christopher Newton didn't get that

memo, though, because he's out here moving like the crimes he's committing are normal. According to Fox 13, Tampa Bay, Christopher Newsom, or Christopher Newton has been arrested on drug charges after deputies say he left a baggie of cocaine in a house he was being trespassed from. Now, I have never heard the phrase he was being trespassed from. I've heard the phrase he was trespassing, but I'm also not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary, so maybe that's the proper way to reference that. I don't know, but this is

the Florida education system we are talking about. But according to Fox 13, Tampa Bay, okay, a Florida man was arrested on drug charges after deputies say he left a bag of year cocaine in a home he was trespassed from. Now, what it happened was Christopher Newsom text the homeowner who just asked

him to leave about a bag of cocaine left on the nightstand. Okay. And he sent that text while deputies were at the house. Sidebar, the sooner you realize people be on cocaine, the less you take things personally. Back to the story. Now, according to the Holmes County Sheriff's Office deputies, they responded to a call on Friday about having Christopher Newton removed from a home. He was trespassing in. And while on the scene, Christopher texted the homeowner saying he left a baggie of booge of sugar on the nightstand. Deputies got consent to search the room where Christopher had been staying. and found a plastic bag of that happy dust, that nostril dandruff. So Christopher was arrested and charged with possession of cocaine. Now, listen to me. It's unclear how long Christopher stayed in this house before he was asked to be removed for trespassing, but clearly he was either comfortable, high, or dumb enough to think he shared some type of

relationship with this person to say, hey, I left my Bolivian marching powder on the nightstand. Now, I have another hypothetical. Whoever called the police on Christopher was either sniffing, with him are fed up that he kept sniffing and wouldn't stop. When they got this text from Christopher, they got paranoid because they thought the cops would find the cocaine and they would go to jail for it. So they

showed the police Christopher's text to save their own ass. The moral of the story is this. A crime is a crime because we condemn it. And there are not a lot of crimes being condemned enough in our society so folks don't even know they are crimes. Possession of

cocaine is indeed a crime. And to text somebody like you left you a while, when it's a bag of cocaine lets me know that there are people walking amongst us who don't know that sniffing cocaine is actually a crime. NB. I'm sure you left your laptop or something at somebody's house

before, right? Laptop. Yeah. I thought I thought I was going to learn something new about you, NB? What you thought I said? I thought he was going to say he left his cocaine. Yeah, I was like this answer. I said, stop. I heard you. Stop. Okay. Lauren, I'm sure you've left a wig or something on somebody's nightstand. But a bag of

cocaine. You wouldn't just text. I left my cocaine on the nightstand. You can say, yo, I left my laptop over there. You could text that. You could text. I left my wig over there. But to say, you know, you left your cocaine? That's not something you just say, hey, I left that. I'm coming back to get it. Okay? But if I had left cocaine at somebody's house, I wouldn't text somebody and say, hey, I left cocaine at your house. I would just say, yo, I just left something. I'm coming back to get it. That's how we talk because we were raised in an era where we knew we were committing crimes. We knew right from wrong, but we were trying to not get caught. Either this generation don't know, don't show, or don't give a damn about being arrested for the blatant crimes they are committing. Please give Christopher Newton the biggest he-ha. Make sure this man's last name, Ed is Newton. I kept saying Newton, Newsom, all types of stuff. For the record, I think it's a worst crime to leave your wig somewhere than your cocaine. How many times have you done it?

Never. I'm not seen. You never left your wig or somebody else? No, why would I just leave my wig? Like, I'm just leaving with the braids. Like, what is that? What is it? The braids?

Yes, I can see you doing that. I'll be back. I can see you being so confident. Never. Thinking you can just walk out the house without a wig on. I mean, I am beautiful. Thank you. But no, I would never leave my wig just randomly.

First of all, they cost a lot of money. Like, these are not cheap. Your wigs? Yes. Oh. The bundles? You got a pay ticket to me. Okay.

Stop playing with me. I meant to ask, like, now that Trump is putting a tariffs on, like, China and stuff like that. Uh-huh. How does that affect the way? Really didn't you're a waste for China? We're going to build them up. We're going to build up the closet.

All the girls are going to have, you know what I mean? Fair has been sitting and waiting, and Mahogany is here now. This is Mahogany Brown. So we're going to build up a few more girlies so that way I can rotate and I'll be good. Okay. Oh, congratulations. To me, or the guy who got his cocaine back? No, congratulations.

Congratulations to you. Okay. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. Mm-hmm. We are the breakfast club. We got some special guests in the building. The legendary.

The clips. What's up, fellas? What's up? Is it the clips or is it just clips? Is it just clips? Okay, because I say the clips too. No, it's just clips. You call that shot.

Yeah. He acts a lot. I want to ask y'all. So it's just clips. What's the origins of the name for people who don't know? So that came from Full of Clips. I came up with it. And at the time, Fat Joe had the Full Eclipse crew.

So we just shortened it to clips. Okay. I want to go back, right? Because you guys have been in a long time. What got you into rapping and to form the group clips for people that don't know? Always been a fan of hip hop like anybody else, you know. My older brother was into the whole cardboard box, break dancing, boom box, rapping when you had to push play and record and rap directly into the box.

Absolutely. Um, yeah, man, just, uh, just coming up under that. And, uh, we went to Chad's house one time and Pusha, he wrote his first rap. And Farrell was like, y'all should, you know, be a group. His first rap was incredible. But before that, it was just me rapping over there. Now, when you first met Chad and, and Farrell, right? Yep.

Y'all are totally opposite. So how did y'all even meet and even learn each other? Because growing up in, in Norfolk and Virginia, like, it's totally two different sides. What made y'all even say, you know what, let's connect with these guys who were wearing tight shirts at the time and tight pants that look like skateboarders. They look nothing like y'all at the time. They might have been serving them. No, they're serving them. So what made y'all say, you know what, let's link with them and starts this whole wrapping. So, you know, actually, so I was a DJ, DJ Alex, and Virginia Beach lived down the street from me.

And we went out and we rented a drum machine and we got the drum machine, but we couldn't work it. And, you know, we had to turn it back in soon. we had paid for but you know we was going to have to turn it back in before we even had chance to use it and he was like you know let's take it to my homie's house and we went over there and it happened to be chad and he knew how to work it and you know that's just stuff that we were doing before clip yeah that's where it started yeah so when did y'all take it serious when did you say you know what this rap thing is something i'm gonna take serious i'm gonna get off the straight to say this is what it is i have to say that was in in me and feral it was the teddy

Riley coming to Virginia, you know, we began to see that it was a real thing, that music was actually attainable in arms reach. I mean, we're seeing the cars, we're seeing the Ferraris, we're seeing Michael Jackson in Virginia Beach, you know, we're seeing emcees, hove, everybody was coming, was coming down. And then at the same time, we had, you know, Timlin and Missy. They was doing their thing. They were, you know, they had left home and went to Jersey. and was working with Jodicey, but these are all our childhood, you know, high school, school friends.

So we got to see it from a lot of different angles that, you know, music was possible. Why Virginia don't get the, like, the credit for being a hip-hop hotbed or just a black music hotbed? Well, I think a lot of people have, everybody who's made it in Virginia actually had to leave Virginia to make it. I don't think any one particular artist of any of us. None of us broke in Virginia. So we always broke, like, Clips broke in Philly. You know, everybody broke somewhere else. Hey, Clips broke in Philly.

I never heard that one. Oh, no, yeah. Clips Broken Philly, man. Really? Yeah. Shout out Cosmic Cave. Wow. Yeah.

Yeah. Clips Broken Philly. I didn't know. What record was it? The funeral? Grinding. Grinding. Okay. Yeah, grinding broken Philly.

Got you. Now, do you remember when Pharrell gave me that beat for Grondon? I remember the first time I heard it. It was confusing. Yeah. It was confusing. I was confused. So when he first gave it, how did you know that was the record?

You probably got the CD that I was handing out. Yes, I did. Yeah, I believe you did. It was, it kind of took us back because you got to think at that time, Farrell, was singing on every hook. It was, whether it was mystical and whoever, right? So, you know, this is our first joining. He's like, yo, this is the one. And we like, we want you singing.

Like, sing. you better tap or do something and you know he was like now I'm telling you this is this the future this is what it is and he was right and it was confusing because we actually wrote to it twice three times I think I think I got three joints

on that joint I still can't blend it to this day because I don't know where the beat in the snare go at the same time you can actually blend on it you just got to go that's crazy that's crazy for you to say that to this day I mean he's not the greatest DJ y'all know that Emmy up there

Emmy up there I just love Vegas with envy rocking that joke He was smoking that shit Thanks thanks You know on the album Alice You said you've been both Mason Bethes

Yeah man For people who don't know what that line Means expound on it Yeah I just feel like I understood And walked A similar path like Mace You know to be in this industry And then to have a real live

revelation of God and who he is, you know, and then have to navigate your way. As far as navigating, not so much because I knew that I had to chill, take a step back. And I also want to give you y'all flowers, too, because y'all were still messing with me during that time. You let me come in here and, you know, promote the documentary and, you know, my solo projects and everything. So, yeah, I appreciate that. I feel like I understand seeing a lot of the same things that Mace seen.

I bought that up because, you know, that's... They actually called me Mace in the club. We was in a club in D.C. And it was like, we got push a T and Mace in. And I was like, dang, man. Damn. What? Yeah.

No, I'm cool with it all. Yeah, I'm cool with it all. I mean, that's why I bought it up because that's what ultimately caused the clips to, you know, in for that fifth last period of time. That's right. Yeah. So what got your back? What was the call that said, I want to do?

this again. There were a few baby steps going out to Wyoming and you know working on use this gospel with Yay with my brother. I always knew that we could do it but I just knew I needed a sit down period. You know what I'm saying?

What else did we do? We did Push's album I pray for you. We did the Nigo album. The Nigo album Punch Bowl. Yeah so I mean those were things I could ask for that I knew weren't you know just solid nose. Man And from there, it was just like, what we're going to do?

But what was the exact moment, though? Because y'all were on two completely different life paths. So what was the exact moment that said, okay, it's time to do another album? You know, when we were doing, they used this gospel and punch bowl and push his album or whatever, I had to ask my dad. I was like, you know, what do you think about me rapping again? And he said, he said, son, I think you've been too hard on yourself. And my dad's a deacon, you know, like he was a deacon. So to hear him say that

I am like a word That's how you feel like you know You just answered one of my questions I was going to ask you about that Because you talk about that on birds don't sing Right And I just thought that was such a powerful thing Just to explain like

Yo you was going through his You know dress and draw Seeing his notes But then he Y'all had conversations about you rapping again I was going to ask you What were those conversations Yeah yeah

We um Everything was The way it lined up It told the whole story And it let me know That God is intentional These things don't just be happening to us the way, you know, we think God is very gracious and he sets you up. He knows

what you can take. He knows how much to put on you. He knows the order in which to put, you know, things in for you. So I just know that he's in control all the time. I'm investigative journalist Melissa Jeltson. My new podcast, What Happened in Nashville, tells the story of an IVF clinic's catastrophic collapse and the patients who banded together in the chaos that followed. have some breaking news to tell you about. Tennessee's Attorney General is suing a Nashville doctor. In April 2024, a fertility clinic in Nashville shut down overnight and trapped behind locked doors were more than a thousand frozen embryos. I was terrified. Out of all of our journey,

that was the worst moment ever. At that point, it didn't occur to me what fight was going to come to follow. But this story isn't just about a few families' futures. It's about whether the promise of modern fertility care can be trusted at all. It doesn't matter how much I fight. Doesn't matter how much I cry over all of this. It doesn't matter how much justice we get. None of it's going to get me pregnant. Listen to what happened in Nashville on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever

Michael Lewis here. My book, The Big Short, tells the story of the buildup and birth of the U.S. housing market back in 2008. It follows a few unlikely, but lucky people who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception. It was like feeding the monster, said Eisman.

We fed the monster until it blew up. The monster was exploding. Yet on the streets of Manhattan, there was no sign anything important had just happened. Now, 15 years after the Big Shorts' original release, And a decade after it became an Academy Award-winning movie, I've recorded an audiobook edition for the very first time. The Big Short Story, what it means when people start betting against the market,

Hi, I'm Danny Shapiro, host of the hit podcast Family Secrets.

We were in the car, like a Rolling Stone came on, and he said, there's a line in there about your mother. And I said, what? What I would do if I didn't feel like I was being accepted is choose an identity that other people can't have. I knew something had happened to me in the middle of the night, but I couldn't hold on to what had happened. These are just a few of the moving and important stories I'll be holding space for

on my upcoming 13th season of Family Secrets. Whether you've been on this journey with me from season one or just joining the Family Secrets family, we're so happy to have you with us.

A hundred percent of women go through menopause. it can be such a struggle for our quality of life, but even if it's natural, why should we suffer through it?

Listen to Decoding Women's Health with Dr. Elizabeth Pointer on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you're listening now. And the conversations with that record, you know, pusher talking to my mom and me talking to my dad and being able to document those last conversations, even those conversations was a type of preparation, you know, getting you ready for what was about to take place. So, like, I'm cool with it all. Well, condolence is, first of form.

That was condolence. You know, I was, when I was in Vegas, you know, I was with family members of yours. And what I like to do is pull them to the side of just have conversations. I knew y'all was coming up for an interview. And trying to get tea. Yeah, of course. And one of them was like, you know, we were talking about the album. This is before I heard the album.

And he was like, you know, the best thing about it. He was like, I had their mom in the car. And he was like, the greatest thing that ever happened is the two boys are back together rapping. So how was that feeling of knowing that mom was just super duper happy that her two sons were backwrapping? Man, you know, she, that was always a big thing, you know, for me as a soloist, she would always be like, I want you with him. Yeah. I want your brother with you.

I want them back out there with you. Probably just to, you know, look over me, watch over me. But that was always her thing. She was huge on, like, us just being together. How did y'all know y'all had to start the album with a dedication to your parents? Because it was the hardest record to make. Wow. Like, it was the hardest record to make. I felt that one the most on album.

Yeah, so finally, like, when we cracked that code, you know, we were putting the order in. We was like, man, nah, this has to start. Like, this has to start the album. It was polarizing. The response, you know, just in the creation of it, man. Everybody who heard it, there were people in there, like, you know, we were, recorded it in the LV headquarters so it's a room and it's you know it's open we the mics are like this ain't no booth you record like this you look outside you look

through that window right there and inside a window it's just a open space somebody with a sewing machine somebody with you know bag shoes whatever and while we're doing this in real time everybody's in tears like everybody just you know they're watching it by the time we finish it it's like you know just like any other record it's like man you know we we cracked the code on it like we were satisfied but it was just so hard to do and everybody's always like you know everybody want to put their hardest record first and I'm like nah man this this is the this is the hardest record and I want to see how it like really touches people you know from from the jump and then get into everything else well we get a visual for this video

it's already shot okay it's already shot look at you you smile like as you already You know you talked to the family and got the team. But I did I pull everybody to the side. Definitely asked. The other day, they said I was glazing the clips, right? Why? He sounds crazy. You know, because what I said was, I said, I said something to this fact.

I said, push has, if he hears anybody go at him, he has five records on the side or five verses just in case. I said, I just know because I know who he is and what he is. Is that true? No, man. That's not what he said. I'm not. Listen, boy, I'm not, listen, man. You know.

He said, no, he said, no, he said, now he looks good, like the skin. He's always fresh. I can not say, I'm going to crazy. I like, I like, I like, I like skin compliments. I do like skin compliments. I'm going to tell you. That's what you say. I ain't necessarily saying that other thing.

No, man. To rappers and sometimes they throw stones that you do you have something in the stash for each and every one of them? Man, I mean, I think. I think, you know, just me being a rap artist and me being an emcee is, that's just second nature. And usually most people who throw stones, man, I mean, nobody's perfect. So, I mean, I can dissect anybody just like they could dissect me. But I try not to engage too much. Like, I've done that.

Like, I've done a lot of it. You know what I'm saying? I've done it with the best, in the biggest. Like, I've done it. So it's like you can't just. entertain everything because everybody and everybody's not good. This is a new day and a new era where like

you know just clicks and and click bait and people just say things for attention and it's like you just can't entertain everything man you just can't. I feel like you've been trying to catch a body since the story I'm adding on though. I've been trying to catch a body

well you caught one. I'm thinking that I think that was a body I think those were shots directly at you but you were surgical with you said at the end I'm going to peel back the layers real slow so I feel like you really wanted to

go there with somebody for the longest nah man nah I mean you know it's never man I got for real I have a lot to rap about

I got a lot to rap about I got a lot of content the creativity is ever flowing and it doesn't ever have to be about an individual it don't have to be like not for me like I mean like I feel like this

album is incredible and I don't think it's really dialed anywhere you couldn't get an accessory to murder charge though because when you listen to euphoria there's a lot of there's a lot of push you in there's a lot of things that you laid you know you laid down that

Kendrick used for euphoria and I think just used in the battle pyramid man you know I think I think you know great great lyricist just you know tune into the obvious did y'all ever speak during that battle oh yeah yeah did speak during the battle this is my guy accessory

accessory I knew it I knew it I knew it I knew it when do you pick and choose when to say something about something though because you sit on a lot of stuff for a long time yeah I mean I'm always like that that just comes with my position in the game and like just where I am as an artist

like man I don't you know it's not always a radio record that I have. It's not always, you know, I'm not putting out music constantly. You know what I'm saying? Every five minutes is a new record. I feel like, you know, things happen. You got to store it.

You got to store it. You got to craft it. You got to make it right. You got to set the platform, set the stage. Now break down the- What to hit. The situation with Def Jam. You guys were on Def Jam.

Yes. Decided to leave. Yeah. You're crazy, too, man. You can sit up here and tell some, Def Jam. You're like, yo, Def Jam. Def Jam, don't care about your project. You crazy.

He's crazy. He kept... He's crazy. He's crazy. So what happened? You're an honest man, man. Yeah. He started to end of the way.

I was like, I'm not going to do that to her. Like, if you're not up here to talk about your music, what are we going to be talking about? Right. And I actually left that day because we didn't sit down, he still wanted to do it. I was pushing for her because I love Coco.

Yeah, yeah. She would be being honest, though, because listening to the project now and knowing the background with you all in Dev Gym, I don't understand why they would let a project like this go well listen so what was the call when you handed in the album

and they called and said we can't put this out we can't clear this record what was that call like I mean it was you know what it was something that I wasn't really dealing with firsthand they were like speaking to my management

you know then it got a little dicey to where to the point they weren't they wouldn't text or email send these things in email they would like only talk on the phone and you know they would instruct not to email us back and forth these

you know that type of correspondence I can only assume that it was just the optics With everything they got going on with litigation lawsuits and all that The optics of Clips, Kendrick together Because that's when it all happened We don't really deal with the label that much anyway Outside of nothing actually Yeah, we don't deal with the label

Like we go make our album And then we come and bring the album back But y'all, you and Kendrick have worked together before Y'all got a classic together if you ask me, no nostalgia So what's the different? Oh, it's a different day? It wasn't, that was back then But y'all wasn't even shooting that dude

It doesn't matter That's crazy When you wanted to leave You call Hove and then the first rumor was They just let you go for free And we was like, that can't be true No, no, no, no, no, no, he had to pay He had to pay

So you reached out to Hove and Hove said absolutely positive How did? Stephen did Shout to Stephen, yeah, Stephen Stephen reached out to him There were other labels in the bidding And he just called Hove like, yo

I think there was a, there was an approval process between one of the labels or something took a little long and he went and asked Hove and Hove was like look yeah let's do this now like 24 hours maybe 48 hours I never seen lawyer work like this

that fast yeah I didn't know it even happened like that what record was old folks to be on on this project he was sent chains and whips Mike Tyson Mike Tyson blow to the face you know Hove had the album so you know so be it yeah it was

It was all for him to, whatever he wanted to do. Oh, he's supposed to be on so big? Yeah, that was one of the options, yeah. Yeah. And nothing moved his spirit? Hey, man. I don't know, man. I don't know, man, you know.

All right, we got more with the clips. When we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Peace of the planet. Shalameen to God here. And every year we always talk about new year, new goals, new me.

Let this be the year we take our health seriously. Your stress, your diet, and your everyday habits hits your heart harder than you think. Power 1051. You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess Hilarious.

Y'allameen the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Loral is here as well. We're still kicking it with the clips. Jess. How do you feel when people leak music? Like, when people release your music prematurely. Yo, you know, the game goes how it goes.

And that's how we maneuver. We navigate everything. I'm not going to sit up and be upset about it. anything you know that happens um when we get in there and we create and we make our music and we do what we do what else you're gonna do what else can you do other than that you know what I'm saying and I stand on our product and I love it and it's good for fans to get things sometimes so it's cool like as long as they enjoy it it's good yeah did y'all ever think about trying to get another Kendrick verse once that leaked before the album actually like dropped

man we try to get all kendrick verses why not Well, y'all kind of leaked. Y'all knew playing that song in Paris. Everybody's phone out. It was going. Y'all had to know that. Yeah. You know.

This is part of it. Going back to what you said about when you went to Wyoming to do, use this gospel. By the way, the hardest song on that album. How do y'all feel about Kanye now? Do you feel sadness or sympathy for him? Will you see him now? No. No.

Fuck to your brother. No, no, no. No, no, no, all I'm going to say, and I'm going to say that I think this goes for, for anybody. It's crazy. When you have a true revelation of God, it is radical because when the scales fall off your eyes, you do. You want to run and tell everybody what you witness and, oh, yo, we've been missing it this whole time. You know, it's how I felt. But once you get that, you got to sit down for a minute.

you can't get the revelation and then try to keep going in this world the epitome of the gospel is denying yourself that's why christ got on the cross and gave up his flesh so you have to be willing to give it up so you can learn and then let god restore you and rebuild you know correctly doesn't mean anybody is a perfect person or you can't even try to have the facade of okay i'm saved now now i'm perfect It just doesn't work like that. How do you deal with it, Push? Deal with Kanye. Because you're not a type of person to hold your tongue. You don't hold your word. So when some of the stuff that he did that might not align with what you thought,

did you have those conversations? Well, I mean, you know, I spoke on it. I feel like that was the beginning of our fallout. He sits on a lot of miscarriages of justice. I've seen it. You know what I'm saying? I hear things and things being said. And I see, you know, his reserve.

You know, I admire his restraint. People, by the time he jumps out the window, you think he's going overboard. But I'm telling you, as knowing my brother, he sits on a lot. I saw you say you hate Kanye's leadership. And you got away from that community that he built because of the feeling over there. Right. What was that like last straw of like, nah, I can't no more? I think for me, it was somewhere around the Atlanta, the dome, the locked in, when everybody was locked in the dome, and we squad and we working and we doing what we're doing, it's just all about the squad.

And I kind of just felt like, you know, I would, you know, I would have to leave and go do things. Shows, whatever the case may be, I would come back, and the energy would just be different. You know, there were conversations being had. you know, this is after Adidon and everything else and, you know, it was like, man, I was doing self-serving things and it was just crazy. It was just a lot of

like, you know, backbiting and things like that and I'm like, damn, this is this is for the squad. I thought but, you know, it ended up not being in. I think I've heard him talk publicly negative about you. We heard him say about Sean. We heard him say about John Legend, yay. Oh, no, for sure he has. For sure he has.

Remember, he put on the little mask? He was like screaming in a mask. Define what is culturally inappropriate. Oh, man. Yeah, no, listen, man. Okay, so during just the sessions, whether it was a beat, whether it was, you know,

just the freestyle before and making the songs, whatever the case may be, you know, we would get hype about just like, man, it's hard or whatever it was at the time. And I forgot who said it, but some, was Mike? Mike was like, man, this shit is. is culturally inappropriate.

And Mike also worked on It's Almost Dry. So you know how that had a common thread of like the Joker laugh through the whole album? He was like, yo, say that on the mic and let me run that through a filter because, you know, we just felt like we just kept running that back. It's culturally inappropriate. He was like, say it through a filter. Let's find a voice and let's just see how it sounds on records. And it actually just worked just to have that, you know, just another thread to keep it, you know,

Keep the album cohesive. I mean, I like it just because it's something that I feel like we should say. Yeah. Something is culturally inappropriate. Yeah, it could have been a line. What I'm saying is it could have been a line. It could have been a song. It could have been a hook idea at the time.

I just, you know, I just can't remember what it was. But that's where that term came from. Something that was just said ignorantly. And what pissed you off about Travis got so much that you had to mention him in Iraq. Like, what made you say this is going too far? man it was just you know it was just that uh that whole coming to uh coming to paris you know he came to paris during one of our sessions you know played his album and then he you know when when he left the album comes out and you know the record that he played you know had a verse up there

it was you know going at pee whatever the case may be and i'm like damn you just left like how you how you leave here you know let he was on your album and then you're letting them you know play your album form you're filming it and then you come back when the album drops you got a verse you know going at them so i just thought that was corny and again like you know that's part of the uh trying to leave all of that behind and it's like man it's like that's the type of thing that happens over in that yay world and it's okay and they you know it's all right they just little brush it off and they be friends and they go hang out together and then you know do whatever they do like that doesn't I didn't like that that was brought into this fold

One time they said the verse The Drake's verse wasn't done as it yet Doesn't matter when it was done I don't care when it was done You added to it You actually he actually had a verse after That verse So you even added to the verse

Like it's proper etiquette for a situation like that Just stay the hell away from me I'm not into you anyway Like I'm not even into your swag And none of that Like it's not into none of it So just stay away. Like, I only want to mess with the real.

Like, I'm only dealing with the real. I'm only, you know, doing music with the real. We just, I just, let's just, let's just, this is like just drawing a line in the sand for everybody. But are you responsible for what an artist does on your record? If you come and dance around in front of me and use footage and do all this and all that, I think you're responsible for anything that you do that you incorporate the people that, you know, that are being, you know, talked about. Of course.

I can't believe you have to explain this. You know what it happened. I'm just, I know that's your brother, and I'm sure. No, and I'm not just taking sides to, because my brother, I'm just saying, you know, like. But I'm talking about the artists who might approach you because of what pushes this. I mean, listen, I ride with my brother. You know what I'm saying? And that's the thing about this, having purpose.

I know what my purpose is. I'm making music with my brother. and I'm glorifying my God that's what I'm doing and when you're in your purpose if anything fall on you then it fall on you at least you know you were

where you were supposed to be and that's why I'm at right now so I'm cool with whatever you get an envy so when people approach you for things I say okay they only approach me

because you're going to go out that's it all the time but also also be you said you got a video or Travis crying no man he didn't say he got a video

he said he's proud in front of me. Yeah. You said, I got the video. You're looking at TV. Oh, no, no. That wasn't, that's not about crying. So what's on the video?

Oh, man. You know. Yo, chill. Yeah. You know. God damn. A lot, man. We dropped a school to clear just in case you know, you're looking for that place.

Well, I appreciate you, brothers for joining us. Man, thanks for having us. Thank you. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. But are we going to have to wait another 15 years or is, you know? Nah, no, no, I don't think so. Okay.

Maliston said. I don't know y'all are just so happy I don't have seen y'all together I know thank you thank you that's why when I said the safe space thing I can really see that

I can see how this is like a divine protection to y'all together wow for sure you're having an individual but when y'all together you can really really see it I'm with that I feel that I see that

yeah what last thing is there ever a problem you say like I'm not going there with push it like if push is going to a spot a strip club to host or he's going to strip club like that's I'm not doing that.

Yo, everybody keeps putting you in the strip club for some music. Every interview, they're putting them in the strip club. I usually don't. I mean, my book, but it's not my thing. Work is work.

Work is work. It's work. It's the breakfast club. Good morning. Now, Sholomon, you got a positive note? Yes, the positive note is simply this. And it comes from the banks and thugs conversation, because I keep telling y'all,

man, the hardest thing for men to do is just express that somebody hurt your feelings I just feel like that comes from trauma and I want y'all to know that trauma is a fact of life but it does not however have to be a life sentence and I also want y'all to know for everybody getting on their healing journey

recovery is a process okay it takes time it takes patience and it's going to take everything you've got so I wish you all well on your healing journeys have a great day breakfast club bitches you're all finished or y'all done
