thought she still had a room. But I cleaned the mall out with the biggest broom. I heard a knock at the door. It didn't sound the same. I just knew it was Ly coming back to play more games. But when I opened the door, P stood there with ease and comfort followed. Oh, I was so pleased. Power called and said he was on the way.

hey caesar i meant to use an anonymous name hey everybody too late oh my goodness do you want to change your name now get off my chest real quick i'm sorry for cutting you off to you because i don't like when charlamagne and ivy do that to you um but yeah let me get off my chest because I don't like when Charlamagne and Envy do that to you. But yeah, let me get off my chest. I don't like when people be trying to take, excuse me,

I don't like when other people be trying to take other people back and still hold like a, like a, like a brush against it, you know?

Like, for example, if a dude cheats on a girl, and he like, I forgive you, I forgive you. I take you back. But like, month, week, years down the road, you still like throwing it back in my face? That's like, come on now.

So this just happened to you, Cesar? I mean, yeah. But this is like a long ago type stuff, you know? But I'm talking about like even nowadays, you know, like I see my partners go through it. Vice versa, I see females go through it with guys. It's like, hey, don't kick them back if you're not going to 100% forgive them, you know? Well, I will say this. Sometimes things trigger you, you know? So you might have forgiven somebody, but that doesn't mean that you completely forget it.

And so there might be certain times when you fall back into some old habits. It takes a long time to build up that trust. So it's an effort on both people's parts, though. I do agree you can't just keep on beating somebody up after you said, let's work on it. But every now and then, you know, you don't intend for it to happen, but you get a little mad.

You're right. You're right. You're right. We all are human. We all get trying to, you know, live our best lives out here. I feel you. Well, thank you, bro. Good luck, man. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. So you better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this?

Yo, what's up, Eddie? This is Tyler from Chicago. How y'all feeling? Tyler from the shot. What up, brother? Get it off your chest. Peace, Tyler. Hey, what's going on?

Sharla, how you feeling, dog? Bless Black and Holly favorite, King. That's what's up. That's what's up. Hey, man, I'm glad the guys are here. Maybe y'all can help me out. I'm in a little bit of a pickle What's up man, what's your pickle? So man, my big sister

She got into some stuff man Last weekend, she got in trouble A little road rage incident That went all the way left And she ended up getting arrested And hit with a class X felony So Her bond was

$100,000, and I gotta pay 10. Okay. I don't wanna pay 10. I got a vacation coming up in two weeks. And I feel like maybe a little jail time might give her a little character. Hey, you know, no, you know, I'm gonna tell you something.

I went to jail one time for pointing and presenting the firearm well i think the charge the charge originally was assaulting barry with intent to kill because i was i was in the back seat when one of my homeboys you know was in the front and shot and my dad did the same thing my dad let me sit for like 45 days number one the bond was high and he was waiting for he was waiting for the bond to be reduced but he did he was he was letting me sit on purpose because he said he wanted me to learn a little lesson. Now, this is your sister's first incident? Yeah, but she's 42 years old, though.

She's 42. What happened? She allegedly pulled out a weapon or something? She did. How do you know about this? Did you hear about this on Facebook? No, I don't know. I mean, the only way you're going to get a felony for a road rage is if you put out

a weapon, brother. Let me ask you a question. If you let her... Then it was pretty bad. If you let her sit a little while longer, would a bond go down? I don't think so, because she hit, like, she ended up getting to it with a lawyer who happened to be white, and she's black. So, it's pretty bad,

bro. And we gotta get her a really good lawyer. Like, I'm talking about, like, a Jewish lawyer. Like, you know, a dinner witch at the inn. There's some good black lawyers, man. There's some great black attorneys. What do you mean? When's the vacation? Look, it's in two weeks.

I'm supposed to go down to Nolo. It's my only vacation time of the year. And I'm in a conflict, man. I don't know if I want to spend this money because I don't think I'm going to get it back. I don't know. I'm going on vacation. All right, let me ask you a question. Okay. Oh, hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, man. I don't know if I want to spend this money because I don't think I'm going to get it back. I don't know. I'm going on vacation. Let me ask you a question. Wait, wait, wait, wait, Colin.

Now, if you was in the same incident would she bail you out? That's the thing. I don't know. My older sister, my twin sister, yes. But my older sister, I don't know. What does your heart tell you to do? What is your spirit telling you to do right now? Because the only thing that causes

conflict is the devil. Keep my money. That's what the Lord is telling me to keep my money because I work hard for it, Sharla. Enjoy your vacation, King. Enjoy your vacation, King. She's 42 years old. She ain't got no money? Does she got a crib or anything? That's the thing. She kind of

she's worked for the city. Her husband got a little bit of money, but. Her husband? Oh, she got a husband. Man, enjoy your vacation, King. That's what I'm saying. Okay, I appreciate y'all. Enjoy your vacation, King.

Y'all, you figure that out when you come back from vacation. You'll have a clearer mind. But what about if her husband ain't got no money? We ain't got nothing to do with that. You'll have a clearer mind to think about it after that vacation. That's his sister, though. I did start to go, I started to go fund me. Let's go fund me. I didn't want to really put up that money.

Enjoy your vacation, King. Call us and tell us about your vacation. All right, man. Damn it, man. Y'all are fast. Man, enjoy your vacation, man. That's his sister. God bless her. She's 42.

God bless her. She's about to have kids. God bless her. God bless her. She got a husband. She made a choice. Let that man go enjoy his vacation when he come back then y'all figure it out enjoy your vacation brother get it off your chest

the breakfast club good morning the breakfast club morning everybody it's dj mv angela yee Charlamagne Tha Guy we are The Breakfast Club we got a special guest in the building Omarion yes indeed welcome hey thanks for having me it's been a minute y'all how y'all doing a long time how are you king man all is well tell me about your morning uh routine man what do you do in the morning when you wake up um I definitely uh take a beat you know um usually do some breath work okay you know I I'm saying? Say some affirmations. And I pretty much get my day started after that. Yeah, I feel like at some point you went on a real journey of healing.

Because I remember when you was on your physical routine with the boxing and everything. And then it feels like at some point you started realizing I got to get mentally and emotionally stronger. Yeah. Also because of a lot of the things that, you know, that were like happened on the outside, you know what I'm saying? And that's why this book really kind of came into fruition. Unbothered. Unbothered the power of choosing joy because, you know, I needed to do something more, you know, uh, really figure out what worked for me, you know what I'm saying? And the breath work, you know, the mantras, all of these things that I'm sharing in the book definitely put me, you know, on another level just as far as emotional intelligence.

What made you not respond though, right? Because you've been going through a lot the last 10 years, right? Everything. And every, I mean, 90% of the people are going to respond somehow, some way. Yeah. Whether it's personal, whether it's relationship, whether it's family, whether it's your group, whether it's your label.'s relationship whether it's family whether it's your group whether it's your label right whatever it is don't respond right why i am a methodical person i am a thoughtful person so a lot of the time if i am going to respond i want to make sure that

i get what i need from it you know i mean I mean? Because rarely, when we react into life, that we actually get what we want. You know what I mean? So, for me, I've always just been like, okay, I'm going to do what's best for me. Do you check a box? Like, I remember he said that

in 2010. She said this. I definitely have a mental list. But you don't hold grudges. Nah. I'm mature enough to realize that a lot of people's perspectives and just position in life are temporary. You know what I'm saying?

Because things change. You know what I'm saying? So I try my best to not take things personal. You feel like you slipped a little with all these things that have been happening and you had to be like, let me go back into my. No, I think that it's important to stand up for yourself, too. You know what I mean? I think people get confused when, you know, people speak up that it's like, oh, me not or me being bothered instead of being unbothered. But I think that it's important to also stand up for yourself and speak up when you feel that. You know what I mean?

OK, so what about Razby saying he was triggered by certain things in the documentary? Did you feel some type of remorse like, OK, this was a serious issue, you know, for him? I think for Raz, it's interesting because, you know, he obviously is intelligent enough to see an opportunity to speak about things and use it to his advantage. And what do I mean by that? You know, I just mean that, you you know I know Razby and I've never heard him say he's been triggered you know I mean but I also you know have uh you know along with my team especially on tour you know have given him the opportunity to better his process and you know he hasn't taken those opportunities you, and the thing that's I think that's tough for me and a lot of people to understand is, you know, as a type of brother, you know, you have to hold your brother accountable.

You know what I mean? So when he said he was triggered, I think that that is something that he could have felt. But, you know, if people watch actually watch the docu, I was there supporting him. You know, although that small clip was out there, you know, me and my team, we were out there supporting him, asking him what he needed, trying to figure out, you know, our best to help him face, you know, these very traumatic things that he's been through, you know. So I just thought it was interesting you know that he decided to see the clip you know in which he wrote off on to say that he was being triggered I thought I just thought it was interesting because he knows that you know I've been there he wrote off for me he had to sign off on his part in

the documentary yes I'm saying like you know this was interesting it's like yo but you know we were on tour and we were supporting you. We told you Razz. And how did that work? But you know how healing is, though. Healing is like, it's not a destination. It's a journey. It's not linear.

So something may not bother you on Monday, but that same thing might trigger you on Tuesday. Yeah, and you're right. I agree. You know, I just think that it's interesting in the timing. You know what I'm saying? Because that clip had been out there for a couple of days and then it was just like okay but are you getting help bro yeah are you taking the steps are you taking the steps you know to to not always express you know your emotions through the internet like are you doing the work that's real are you doing the work that's

not what i see and how is it with you know because you guys were brothers growing up like yeah you guys were everywhere together you guys grew up with each other yeah so how is it that you guys really don't mesh and communicate and right when they do is usually i haven't heard you say really much bad about them anything bad about them but them talking bad about you so right how does that work? Because you all are still on tour. Or were on. Yeah, that's a challenging question. Just because, let's just take the concept of brotherhood. Right? Everybody has a different version of that.

You know, unfortunately. Because some people don't actually have siblings. I would say in one aspect through our journey, you know, we were put together to be brothers, but I don't think in essence we were, you know what I'm saying? I think that, you know, there were a lot of people that made sure that we connected and then disconnected. It's almost like we were made to be brothers, to be secret enemies. And there's only certain stories that could embody like what that means you know because i believe in real brotherhood jealousy doesn't exist you know you might feel like okay well

dang look at my bro he going up i want to be inspired but it never makes you vindictive it never makes you jealous it never makes you go past a certain point you know i would say in the aspect of our journey we have a brotherhood but in reality i wouldn't say they identify as what i consider my brother like my brother orion you know i mean like our journey the things that we've shown each other the challenging times we have the way we got through that you know that's how you're able to really truly identify who someone is to you in your life you know i mean somebody that loves you they don't do certain things you know, that's how you're able to really, truly identify who someone is to you in your life. You know what I mean? Somebody that loves you, they don't do certain things. You know, they don't say certain things. So, you know, if we just really looking at it as far as what it is, you know what

I'm saying? If you act like a duck, talk like a duck, it's a duck. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

This is Courtney Thorne-Smith, Laura Layton, and Daphne Zuniga. On July 8, 1992, apartment buildings with pools were never quite the same as Melrose Place was introduced to the world. It took drama and mayhem to an entirely new level. We are going to be reliving every hookup, every scandal, every backstab, blackmail and explosion, and every single wig removal together.

Well, not a mess, but on our podcast called mess, we celebrate all things messy. But the gag is not everything is a mess. Sometimes it's just living. Yeah. Things like J-Lo on her third divorce. Living. Girls trip to Miami. Mess.

Ozempic. Messy, skinny living. Restaurant stealing a birthday cake. Mess. Wait, what flavor was the cake though? Okay, that's a good question. Hooking up with someone in accounting and then getting a promotion. Living.

Breaking up with your girlfriend while on Instagram Live. Living. It's kind of mess. Yeah. Well, you get it. Got it? Live, love, mess. Listen to Mess with Sydney Washington and Marie Faustin on iHeartRadio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black We Are The Breakfast Club're still kicking it with Omarion. Charlamagne? Let's talk about divine timing because I find it so interesting that there was the verses. Yeah. Right? Probably didn't go the way you wanted it to go fully. For sure.

But you seem like you reacted with work. For sure. You reacted with the doc. You reacted with the book. For sure. How did that come about? Because clearly that's divine timing. Yo, that's facts.

Yeah. I've just been preparing. And even though, you know, verses didn't go, you know been preparing and even though you know versus didn't go you know it still was you know wildly successful the most successful one you know so to be able to show up in the journey and be able to be like you know what damn this might not have been the way that i wanted things to go but oh wait a minute watch this move right here so i'm really highly thankful for you know all the energies. You know what I'm saying?

Rest in peace, my nana. She transitioned earlier this year. You know what I mean? So I definitely feel like the ancestors on the other side is moving. Certain things in the universe for me. And I'm just excited, man. How did you feel when people were questioning your talents? Yeah, I was going to say, what went wrong that night?

What would you have changed? Well, you know, it was a lot of things that went wrong that night. First, not have a sound check. Another represent... And why didn't you do a sound check? It was no time. It was so underwhelming. They were not prepared, you know, for what I expected to be

kind of a night in R&B that just kind of turned the sexy up on the planet again. You know what I'm saying? Like, really, let's talk about the women. You know what I mean? But it became kind of hip-hop really, planet again. You know what I'm saying? Like, really, let's talk about the women. You know what I mean? But it became kind of hip-hop really, really fast.

You know what I'm saying? Early on, it was like that was the set of the energy. You know what I'm saying? And what was your question again? How did you feel about people questioning your talent? Oh, yeah. I think that that's the mark of a legend. I remember hearing people say Michael Jackson couldn't sing.

And when you have been doing something for so long, you know, you can definitely have an off night, but that is not the telltale of, you know, of a 22-year career, you know what I mean? It felt like people took the opportunity to say things to you that they've always wanted to say. It definitely felt like that.

Yeah, that was crazy. It had to bother you a little bit. You're an artist, and as Eric Ab you a little bit you're an artist and as Eric Abadu said you sensitive about your your shit well let me say it definitely

challenged me unlike I've been challenged in such a long time to level up because you know I'm one of those people that I don't really move for much

because I study and I practice and I work on my craft so much you know what I mean so I'm and I work on my craft so much. You know what I mean? So I'm unmoved. But one thing that can move me, one thing that has moved me, was the will to just be better.

You go to therapy, right? No. Oh, you don't? Okay, okay. No, I haven't. What has Omarion done wrong in any of these situations? I think not speak up. And also I think I'm a little early on because And also, I think I'm a little, you know, early on because I started so young, you know, I'm a little gullible,

you know what I mean, just as far as business. You know what I'm saying? And as far as what people don't give you, what people are not supposed to give you, you know what I'm saying? Like, the respect that sometimes you assume you might give, but that you're never really shown. You know what I'm saying?

So I would say that, you know, that's definitely on me, but I don't have no problem. You know what I'm saying? Being honest about my mistakes and taking accountability for anything that I've done wrong to people. If you ever came across me and, you know, have a relationship with me and you were confused about something, there was always an opportunity for you to be able to gain some clarity but the actions you know i'm saying and that's something that we always have to bring into question when we speaking about people's personalities like there's layers to this you know i'm saying and people have to be held accountable for what they're projecting versus their actions you know i'm saying so what i would say you know that i've done wrong is just that but

it has gained me such a heightened level of awareness you know i'm saying that it's probably second to none because you know i've been through it over and over again you know i mean so i know i know where i'm going i want to ask you a couple more questions uh especially in particular the drink champs interview all right um i saw fizz said that he's not in contact with you because he never had your number it's always been like that is that true how does that sound i'm asking i don't know that sounds crazy man how did you come to your house without calling you first okay come on ye and he also said that you went solo because he had sex with a woman you liked nah i don't remember that happening he was the first one to go solo because he had sex with a woman you liked.

Nah, I don't remember that happening. He was the first one to go solo because, you know, Fizz was like. The rapper. Yeah. And, you know, the rapper was like the most famous in the group. You know what I'm saying? So Fizz was definitely like in front. You know what I mean? As far as certain vibes, you know what I mean, in the group.

You know what I mean? You know how like, okay, Fizz doing something, well, he on his own way. Oh, we all getting on our own way. You know what I mean? So I viewed it like that. Didn't they kick you out the group? Basically. No, not really. No, it wasn't their fault. I take that back. It was Chris Stokes' fault. He made us

become brothers, and then he separated us. Is he the elder that you talk about? He's one of the elders. You know what I mean? You don't have a relationship with him now? Uh-uh. You know, Razby, and I think it's been rumored that he talks about sexual abuse with Chris Stokes. Have you ever seen anything like that?

I haven't. I haven't seen anything like that. You know what I mean? Yeah, I haven't. Word. Yeah. Well, I'm on. I'm bothered. You still stand by the background the background dancers remark or you feel bad about that no you know what um when i think about that you know i thought that was funny because i'm gonna just you know keep it player with you you know i'm saying as you've

seen with the mother of my children like i'm never pressed off of a woman choosing up or who she want to be with that's not my personality you know i'm saying like hey women choose you know i'm saying but for me that's that's not what it was about that's trivial and a drop you know i mean in the ocean of the other things that we all have shared and experienced that's another thing that's just like what does that have to do with anything bro you know i mean what's up, man? You know? And you think all communication is done? Like, because God forbid, we live in a real crazy world.

You see the things that's happening to people. If something was to happen to one of them, wouldn't you feel some sort of way? Yeah, man. I don't want nothing to happen to nobody. And I wish them well, man. You know what I mean? Like, I really hope that they see through this experience and they take a little bit more accountability.

You know what I mean? Moving forward. And I like, I hope that they do good things for their life. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't wish nobody bad. And what is it? She just asked me to ask you, what does watermelon have to do with everything? Okay.

Do you like watermelon? Oh, gosh. Do you like watermelon? Uh-huh. Yes, watermelon is one of the best. Very healthy. Yes, it is. Good for your heart, good for your skin. Okay Uh-huh. Yes, watermelon is one of the best. Very healthy. Yes, it is. Good for your heart, good for your skin.

Okay, thank you. Yes. And see, so that's the window. And that's the window that people just don't want to walk through because they want to just stay at the, you know, sexual aspect of it. You know what I mean? Because good things are like sex. You know what I'm saying?

And that's why we are all addicted to it. You know what I'm saying? So when you mix the fruit with the sex, that's another level. You might want to try that. You know what I'm saying? So when you mix the fruit with the sex, that's another level. You might want to try that. You know what I'm saying? Try a watermelon, Taylor. I'm telling you, you might want to try that.

You might just want to start by kissing somebody that you love with watermelon and see how you feel. It's interesting. They give you flack for it, but when Beyonce just randomly said it in a song, nobody cared. She just randomly watermelon. You just,. Nobody cares. She randomly watermelon.

Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about a gentleman that caught earlier, had an incident with his dad at a club. Let's listen. We just celebrated my daddy's 50th birthday this Friday, right?

Mm-hmm. So me and my boy, because he went out to the club and shit, and, you know, we drunk. What? disbelief because I'm like, ain't no way. This is my daddy. The next morning, man, I know he know I sleep doing it because he ain't said nothing the whole morning. So I'm like, man, basically, tell my mom I've been married damn near 25 years. I don't want to go and

blow it up. What am I supposed to do, man? So we're asking 800-585-1051. What would you do? All right. Now, we got our resident family on the line. Trav, what up, Trav? Hey, yo, what's up? Trav!

What's up, ye? Hey, boo. So there's only one solution I have, yo. Basically, the mama and the son got to jump the daddy, yo. What are you talking about, Trav? The mama and the son got to jump the daddy, because he was cheating. Let me ask you a question, Trav. Did Nate and his mama jump cow?

What do you say, mom? I'm on the phone with the brother. Oh, my mama right here. Mom, what would you do, mom, if I came home and told you? I'm on the phone with the brother. Hi. Say hi. Hi.

Hey, mom. Hey, mama, Trav. Hey, ma. Hi, how you doing? What would you do if I came home and told you I was in the club with dad and he was tongue-in-the he was talking down a whole other man? That's where you get it from, boy. That's where you get it from, boy.

You're just like your daddy. I knew that already. How would you feel about that? How would I feel about that? He'd be gone. He'd be gone, she said. Goodness gracious. I definitely think that at the end of the day, it's still cheating.

All right. Who said it's not? Thank you, Trav. Who said it's not cheating? Hello, who's this? Good morning, this is Darren. Darren, good morning. What you doing if that situation happened to you, Darren?

Yeah, I'm snitching. I'm telling Ma that I got to go. Because now it's about her safety. I can't go down. I got to protect Ma. All right. Thank you so safety. That can't go down. Got to protect Ma. All right. Thank you so much. Hello, who's this?

The Jungle Jim. Jungle Jim. You got it, brother. All right, Jungle. How you doing today? I'm doing well. How you doing? I'm good.

I'm good, man. So what should this gentleman do, bro? I think the gentleman shouldn't call into the radio, first of all, to be talking about something like that that's really personal. And I also think that y'all shouldn't promote that stuff on the radio. Promote what stuff? It's real life. This is something that happens.

Infidelity? I agree. We shouldn't promote infidelity on the radio. I've been listening to Charlamagne Tha God, and you know what I'm saying? He's been speaking on gay stuff a lot, man. You know what I'm saying? You know what that does, man?

That plants seeds, bro. What? You know what I'm saying? You know what that does, man? That plants seeds, bro. What? You know what I'm saying? And if you familiar how the world works. I thought we was talking about infidelity. Man, you talking about the, I thought you was talking about the daddy that was going to the club with the son

that was being gay or something like that, right? You think discussing things about people who are gay plants seeds? I do. The bigger issue in this situation is that the daddy's cheating on the mama, sir. That's the big issue. On the mama with a man,

though, right? That's the second issue to me. It's real life. That's what the situation is. That really happened, though. That really wasn't made up. It really happened.

A gentleman called. I mean, you say we don't know his name. We don't know where he's from. But you also know there's gay people in this world for real. Should we ignore gay people? No, we shouldn't. We shouldn't ignore the problem. from. But you also know there's gay people in this world for real. Should we ignore gay people?

No, we shouldn't ignore the problem. That's what we shouldn't ignore. What's the problem? What's the problem? Cheating is the problem. No, cheating ain't never been a problem, man. Cheating is not a problem? Okay, you're just all backwards.

You n***a! Let me explain. Oh, my gosh. N***a go, N***a. Okay, cheating. Charlamagne, let me get your position, man, please. All right. Let me have your position because I will really speak about something that needs to be spoke about,

and I know y'all probably wouldn't want me to speak about it. Go ahead. What you got to say? Okay, let me say about the cheating situation, okay? Cheating was something that was brought upon you. Now, if you did something that brought back on you from karma, then it comes back around to you. So it's your fault if you get cheated on.

Cash, your question. How would you feel if your mom, how would you feel if your girl cheated on you? I wouldn't feel no kind of way because it must have been something I did in order to make her go do that. Is that called victim blaming when someone gets cheated on? You're saying it's their own fault that they got cheated on. So you would stay with her?

Exactly, and that's not playing the victim. That's not playing the victim. What? But you'd stay with her if she cheated on you? That's being aware of something that you've done. So what you got to understand for every action. I respect that. No, he's absolutely right. But would you stay with your woman if she cheated on you?

Would you stay with her? Yeah, I'd stay with her. I have. I'd stay with her. Okay have. I'd stay with her. Okay, just asking. Okay, so if you cheated on your girl, that's her fault. That's not what he said, G. It must have been something that she

did in her previous relationship. Right, so it's her fault. Have you ever had a situation to where a girl, where you meet a person cheating, and you end up losing them the same way? What? Have you ever had that happen before? I where you meet a person cheating, and you end up losing them the same way? What? Have you ever had that happen before?

I know you heard a friend. I understand what you're saying. I totally understand what you're saying, brother. I totally get what you're saying. When you go into relationships like that, okay, you think that you got away with something, that you might have been cheating on the man in the last relationship. You feel what I'm saying? And now in this relationship.

Yes, I totally get it. You know, everybody doesn't cheat. Sometimes people get cheated on and they haven't ever cheated. No, that's not the case. But see, you got to understand the way the world works. You can't be ignorant about how the world works. And what you're saying, you're saying it goes both ways. So let's say your girl cheated on you.

It's because of something that you were lacking or something that you did that you weren't giving her. No, it's something that I did previously that weren't giving her no it's something that i did previously that came back on me all right maybe are you do you do let me ask you this question do you understand what karma is yes but i don't believe karma is cause and effect i believe karma is created through actions it's created through action you positively correct that is correct it is made through action so for every action correct. That is correct. It is made through action. So for every action, there's a reaction. Is that correct? Yes. Equal or opposite. Yes, equal

or opposite. I agree with that. Okay, now what we're speaking on is karma right now, young man. You see what I'm saying? No. So now, it don't matter what... Hold on, hold on. I'm going to give you Charlamagne's number. Hold on. Man, stop saying that. But no, I see what he's saying. What he's saying makes perfect sense.

Like, he's not putting the blame on anybody. He's just saying that, you know, if he got cheated on in a previous relationship, it's probably because he cheated on somebody in a relationship previously. Y'all do know he started the conversation that you push in the narrative of Gainers. You know, that's what he started with. Well, I ignore that. I don't give that any energy. Oh, okay. All right. Well, what's the moral of the story i forgot what we were talking about

by the way the moral of the story is cheating is wrong and everybody should be allowed to live their truth and if you're in a situation where you're not able to live your truth then maybe you need to get up out of that situation and stop having everybody live a lie with you.

Ari Lennox, welcome. Thank you so much. How you feeling this morning? We're hot. All right. I'm just a little nervous. You know, it's only you. It's only because of you.

Just kidding, yeah. But just a little nervous. It's a very legendary show, so. What took you so long to come up here, then? Fear. Fear? Yeah. What were you scared of?

Y'all. Why? Y'all together. You've serviced me before. Yeah, I love her. And we had a good time. You just don't love us? No, it's just, just you know y'all

can be a little tough on people sometimes yeah we've evolved we've changed a whole lot yeah i and i feel that i feel that yeah so i want i want to if you don't mind you know for people that that don't know who ari lennox is or where you're signed to or how you got your start i want to start from the beginning for those people since this is your first time. You want to do a documentary? Oh, yes. So you signed to J. Cole. How did you get into the music industry and signed to Cole? Well, I was working at Public Storage and just dropping music on SoundCloud.

And there's an amazing rapper named Omen. He loved my music. He told Eve and Cole about it. it and he was like we'll fly you out like tomorrow or tonight something like that um so that you can meet cole in the studio and stuff like that and i was horrified you know i just got the job i didn't want to lose the job it was ten dollars an hour you know it was the highest paid job I ever had ten dollars an hour yeah so I didn't want to like lose this so I almost didn't go but honestly I think it was fear you know fear of flying and things like that but I just I got over it I

drank mad vodka and I got on that flight that That was your first flight as well? First flight in a long time, like years. Did you lose your job? Yeah. I did, and I was horrified. And I started doing Uber. Hold on. There's a lot here now. First of all, why were you afraid of flying?

Well, I had a traumatic experience when I was young on a flight. Oh, okay. Playing by the crash or something? Yeah, well, the engines went out. Oh, hold up. Wow. Yeah, and so That'll do it. Yeah, so as we're about to land,

he's basically telling us to brace for impact. And I was very young and just praying, but I don't remember having fear before that moment, but after that moment moment I was just scared trauma yeah I think so

let's rewind now you lose your job and you become an Uber driver I can't see you driving a damn Uber are you a good driver? am I a good driver? it depends I'm very safe at driving yes but there are things that have happened where it's just like I could have been more

a little bit more alert. What was your star rating? My star rating? Oh, it started dropping like crazy and I don't know why. Some people thought I was driving too fast or one note I got was I was switching lanes too much, but I

was trying to get them there. I don't know. What kind of car was it? A Kia Soul. Why are you doing that? Yeah, I was in public storage. No, I didn't have no big fancy, you know. Tell me how the car was set up. What did you have in the car? What did you have in the car? It was just a nice black

interior and a big bowl of candy. I love when Uber drivers have candy in the car. Did you have chargers for people? Yes, I did have my charger I would give because, you know, you can't trust people. Did you play your own music? No, not my, I would never. That's weird. You give them a call, they start playing their own music.

That happens to me all the time. Never. I mean, never, never. Not one time? No. Did you make conversation or were you quiet? I made some conversation sometimes. Three times people threw up in my car.

How does that work? Do they pay for it? They pay for it, but it's nowhere near enough. And then you lose like five days of work because your car stinks and you're traumatized. How long did you have the Uber job for? This is interesting. This was my longest job to date. Uber I probably did for like

at least a year or something wow yeah so i guess the meeting didn't go well because you lost your job but then you started driving uber no the meeting went really well i just you know i had to still make money you know they were still you know taking their time with the idea of like signing me it wasn't like an immediate this is my last uber question when you saw that when you saw the episode of insecure when isa ray was driving uber did you say oh i see me i didn't see that oh you never saw that episode okay yeah i do love isa yeah she drove uber on on insecure for a while wow i feel like a loser i need to you know why i never watched insecure because every time i would watch an episode i would just get so sad about my life and how like sexy these men were and how I had no men.

But that's by choice, I feel like for you. That's by choice. Maybe it is. It is by choice because you could have a man. I could. But it might not be the one. Some people are okay with settling and saying, okay, I don't want to be alone. And people make you feel like that.

But the truth is, it's better to wait to the right person. Absolutely. And I've definitely learned that the hard way. So very intentional in particular about who I want to share my time with so I find myself alone a lot why not change the mindset a little like you see the sexy man and you'd be like I'm gonna have that one day I'm gonna have a man like that for myself one day I've been more adamant on like my standards absolutely I do do that like I'm more like yes he has to be fine yes he has to have a nice job

yes he has to be good to me an effective communicator like I am like have his own place he can have his own place I am you know

chanting those things within and my assistant loves you right really her name is Mercedes hi Mercedes

so she sent me a couple of questions one of the questions she said you have a song called P.O.F she's single by the way right and she says have you tried the Dayton app P.O.F. She's single, by the way, right? She says,

have you tried the dating app P.O.F. and were you ever catfished? And then she goes, by the way, that dating site is terrible. Oh. So have you ever tried Plenty of Fish before?

Absolutely. I met my first boyfriend on P.O.F. Really? His name is John. I don't know if I'll get in trouble for that, but it's real name. John. Yeah, that's old, John.

I've been trying to tell y'all. Wait, hold up. Yeah, I shouldn't have shouted him out. That's a very common name, I would say. John is lit right now. John is going to be so lit when this interview come out. I've been telling y'all. I told you I used to rock with Ari.

I heard you got kicked off of some dating sites because people didn't believe that it was you. Yeah, Tinder. They didn't believe it was me and i didn't want to blank my instagram so that people would know it's me and then maybe reach out to me for the wrong reasons like you know secret rappers you are a fly i think human thank you what is happening here i think i need to step outside more but i'm finally stepping outside and like meeting like nice like you know enjoyable individuals let's go back to john for a second why did you throw john back in the sea well john went to the military and i felt like we were growing apart and the affection was lacking he called me bruh once and i was just like you I couldn't. Yeah, and it triggered me.

And I know it wasn't just bruh. It's fine. You can call me that. It's just I felt like our romance was kind of dissipating. And so I think that was just a triggering thing. And we had an argument. And I was like, well, I guess we're not together anymore. And that's kind of where to protect myself, unfortunately, I do that.

And he was like, okay, fine. We're not together anymore. And he was really, okay, fine, we're not together anymore. And he was really serious. Well, his loss. How many songs is he inspired? Probably P.O.F., the EP, and my album, Shea Butter Baby. That's literally greatly inspired by him. And I'm so grateful.

Well, it was the first relationship I ever had. Are you still speaking to John? Yeah, we're cool. We check on each other sometimes so why you ain't get an EP credit on Shea Butter Baby

well I mean it's the price you pay when you just don't want to get back together and back in 2016

I know women that swear by Shea Butter Baby like they like that's like their bible so that's that's big of him he gonna

John make the t-shirts I inspired Shea Butter Baby okay don't make the t-shirts. I inspired Shea Butterbeer. No. Okay? Don't make those t-shirts. Please. All right, we got more with Ari Lennox when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Ari Lennox. So you've met a lot of guys. Well, you've dated guys, and they've been secret rappers. I thought that was really funny

when you date somebody and then all of a sudden you find out later, like You'll pass this to Cole for me, yo. Exactly. Oh my God. And it's the worst. It happens. Like, but that's why I've learned with dating, ask specific questions. Are you a rapper?

Are you? Have you ever recorded music? Do you play basketball? I need to know specifically. That is hilarious. That's a plot for a movie or something. The girl thinks that the guy is cheating but he's really sneaking off to record mixtapes.

Sneaking off. Exactly. Exactly. What did your mom and your family say when you were recording with Cole and going out there recording? Because a lot of times parents don't believe in the industry way. My dad never really knew what was going on in my life. So you were the secret rapper? Yeah.

I mean, he knew. He was the one who always said, you're going to be something one day. Like, he always said that. But, like, he was kind of always doing his own thing. So he never really was seeing that I was, how serious I was about music, which is why he was like, you should be a nurse. But really, he wanted to be a nurse. And my mom was very calm, was just, like, forward, like, happy for me.

Very supportive. Yeah, very supportive. She never really knew this, like, how serious. You said that your dad used to always tell you, you're going to be something, you're going to be something. Does that put added pressure on a daughter? Wow. No.

You know what? And it sucks because we're not even speaking right now. Ew. What's going on? Okay, so we're not even speaking right now, but I do feel like when you instill certain things like that, it goes a long way for sure, because that is the one area in my life

where I feel like I did really good. All right. Now, with you and your dad not speaking, is there something small that you can call and like, because life is so short. It's so much s***. So, like, it, um... speaking is it something small that you can call them like because life is so short it's so much so like it um i really think it's important for like people to be healed when they're bringing kids into this world i agree um because it's just like that alone i feel like probably innately

helped me in so many ways like always grinding and like that. But I could also see the other like, you know, that I carry. And it's I'm sure it has to do with the other, you know, that you go through trauma. Well, let me let me tell you something I learned in therapy, because the first time I had a breakthrough in therapy was literally realizing all the daddy issues I had. Yeah. So when me and my dad had a conversation and I realized, damn, he was a human before he was my dad. And he had his own issues, substance abuse issues, dealing with mental health issues. And he was just doing the best he could with what he had at the time. It allowed me to give him a lot more grace.

Yes. We got to give our parents grace. I know. And I feel like there needs to be a lot of group therapy. Absolutely. And of course, I want to continue my therapy alone. But I think that would probably be best because I know these are things I'm even carrying into my dating life. And I just don't want to have that weight on me and I do want to be more compassionate because he went through a lot

you know with foster care and abandonment issues and all kinds of like dark things so I do recognize why he is the way that he is and you've been really open about going to therapy when did you decide that that was something you wanted to do? This year, I was just tired of just being a big ball of like traumas, like just being unaware of like what was going on inside. And like, you know, a lot of times I could be so triggered and it's just like, well, why? And now I'm realizing why somebody's just pretending like I don't exist or like not even looking at me or like kind of having like this arrogant nature can be so triggering. Like, where did I see that like earlier in my life or experience that? Like, I'm starting to realize it never stops.

It's like a cycle. Like, if you don't realize that you're carrying all of this weight, it comes out in different ways. And people be like, why is she freak out? It wasn't even that you're carrying all of this weight, it comes out in different ways. And people will be like, why is she freaked out? It wasn't even that serious. It was a reminder. It was a flashback probably. A trigger. A trigger without even realizing where it came from.

And there's always something in our childhood. Yeah, always. There's always something that happened in our childhood. It happens to you as an adult. When it happens and you get triggered, you're like, oh. That's why therapy is great. It's like, oh, that's why i'm reacting like this because of what happened here yes and it's it's been really beautiful and like eye-opening for sure are you healing those

those childhood wounds oh definitely i'm i want to keep going deeper this start is happening for sure and you said you see a lot of that um in the relationships that you have now like what are some things and patterns like i know you said you want to be of that in the relationships that you have now. Like, what are some things and patterns? Like, I know you said you want to be more sympathetic. So what are some things that you feel like, OK, I got to work on this? Damn. Probably how I'm communicating. I'm the very anxious person.

So basically, instead of saying, I've said this before, but instead of saying like, nobody cares, like it's just about, well, you know, I feel like this is how I'm feeling. Like, you know, that I'm not being heard or, you know what I'm saying? Like, I try to work on how I'm communicating because I get so kind of in my own anxiety and mess that I can kind of be a little insensitive sometimes. So I just want to work on like that. And when it comes to performing and getting on stage, are you the type of person who gets nervous before that? Or does it all go away and that's where you feel most comfortable?

Most times I rarely get nervous, like that nervous. But certain things like TV performances, like I'm shaking. Like it's just certain things like tv performances like i'm shaking like it's just certain or jasmine jasmine like at the um when we performed at the bt awards like horrified like i don't want to let this legend down like jasmine sullivan is everything so yeah question when you get triggered by secret rappers do you remember the struggle rapper who traumatized you? Oh, there's so many. There's so many. Is that it?

Yeah. Goodness gracious. People we'll never hear of. There's so many, right? People we never hear of. Like, they just, they won't say it until, like, you like them.

And it's just like, oh, I'm about to go to the studio. What? Why? Like, when? What studio? Do people ever act like they don't know who you are when they want to date you and act like. Oh, my God.

Like, hey, what do you do? You know, and act like they're not sure who you are. Yeah. I've definitely been in a relationship where he acted like I was not who I am at all. That's ridiculous. Yeah. I was trying to feel appreciated. He kept trying to say it was just it's ridiculous. Yeah. I was trying to feel appreciated. He kept trying to say it was just, it's ego.

Like, you know, it's not all about you type thing. But really, I just felt like he always kind of diminished everything about me. You know, like kind of pretended like this singing part didn't even exist. I hate people like that. Don't try to make me feel small because you're a d***, Lou. Yeah, oh my God. I mean like that. I'm not saying that literally.

Oh my gosh. I didn't mean that literally. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? What happened? Tell me. Tell me. I want to know.

But you know what I mean. People that try to make Us feel small Just because they haven't done What they want to do in life Yeah Yeah I guess so But now

What if his Now I know Is it okay for him To make you feel right Oh shut up Jesus But now I know Like I just

My goal is just To date nice people It's gotta be hard though Cause you're Ari Lennox now, so you don't know who likes you for you or who likes you because you're a superstar. Yeah, where are you meeting these guys? Where do you meet guys besides the, you know, Plenty of Fish? Like, where are you meeting these guys?

Well, the other day I met a guy at a fashion show. That was really nice, and he was so fine, but the date was terrible. How did he kick it to you? But what was terrible? The date was just not... His dress was probably better than yours. Especially if you met him in New York at Fashion Week. He did not have on a dress. So how did he kick it to you?

How did he kick it to you? You're sitting there, he walks over. You gotta get by your security first. Well, we were sitting in a seat and he... Oh dang, I don't want nobody to... She'll let those pictures, right? She's sitting next to you. Well, I don't want nobody to, but, she sent those pictures, right? She sent next to them. Oh, but I won't tell you

which fashion show. You can stop now. Yeah, you can stop now. All right. What was your, well, he just,

he reached out and introduced himself and like shook hands and it was really cute and sweet. And where was the first date? The first date, I ain't gonna tell you where.

Yeah, calm down, I was curious if y'all went to a restaurant. It was a lovely restaurant. It really was, but he was late. He was late if y'all went to a restaurant. It was a lovely restaurant. It really was. But he was late. He was late to the date.

But traffic is bad during Fashion Week. Nah, he's supposed to be here all the time. Isn't it Fashion Week now? He was hanging out with J. Cole. What? So it's a rapper? No, that's what I'm saying. Why was he hanging out with J. Cole?

My dating life. Her whole team is like, stop. My dating life is just not it. All right, we got more with Ari Lennox. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angelou Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Ari Lennox. Charlamagne? What was your intention with this album? The intention was just me showcasing dating in its entirety

from... See, I was trying to get away from dating, but you just bought us right back. Oh, I know. It's on subject. It's all right.

It's on subject. And it's where you are. You know what? A lot of people can relate to you. That's one of the main questions people ask. How do you find somebody?

Like, somebody good. Somebody nice. Do you think about marriage? Yeah. Like somebody good, somebody nice. Do you think about marriage? Like, are you dating with the intention to get married? That's how you find somebody probably is how finding yourself really. And so that's really what I'm focused on. I got a little distracted with that recent date. And then I was like, well, let me see what else is out here.

But I think I'm a pull back into into myself and just kind of change my number and just focus on more beautiful books on trauma and just focus on me. Oh, I got a great one for you. I might have it in here. Resmaa Minicum, My Grandmother's Hands. Really? Yeah. We also have a Marianne Unbothered book in here, too.

Oh, wow. Is that about traumas? There we go. Oh, wow. He looks so adorable. Okay. He's single. Oh wow. Is that about dramas? Oh wow. He looks so adorable. Okay. He's single. Oh no. No.

Chachi should get a book back. Damn. I don't want nothing. No problem. You have to get the book back. No singers. No singers. No rappers. What about ballplayers? You said earlier oh if he played basketball he doesn't mention that

maybe a soccer player would be nice go with the money at my G go with the money at football that's where the money

at that's where the money at that's where the real money at soccer okay I didn't know that

I'm not a bird I'm not a bird no I'm just saying we have intentions see wow that's all that's all.

Did you finish your thought on the intentions of this album? The intention of the album is just making beautiful music that sounds like I'm in love based on crushes of people I've never even hung out with before. Like Mean Mug and Hoodie crushes on fine men that I never even hung out with. And then it gets to blocking you towards the end. It gets to blocking you. And that's where I'm at right now with it, like in real life.

But yeah, it's just dating and the emotions. And towards the end of the album, I'm definitely more about like, OK, it's time to protect my peace. Like no one's going to do that for me. And I find it irresponsible to be moving around in life with all of these unhealed traumas and trying to

get to know people. So I just want to check some things, some codependency things and anxiety things. Do you block people fast? Do you block people fast if they ignore about blocking. Do you block people fast if they ignore you,

just block them? I do. Like one time, I felt that there was distance happening and I was like, hey, can we talk? I feel like something

is changing. He was like, I thought we were good. I thought everything was good. You know what? Just need to get something to eat and I'm going to call you right back.

And so, I got on the phone with my dad and me and my dad talked for like two hours and i didn't hear from the guy and i'm looking at my phone like wow like and so i blocked him after that and that was it right that was it we spoke one time since then i'm sure for some reason i'm attracting uh avoidant people who don't know how to communicate well well you're probably attracting what you are. That's why what you said about, you know,

healing your own trauma before you get into another situation is so important. That right there, that's better than money. You know how we all, you know, I'm about to say, you know how we always say you need a man with money. But you know, you know, I do want that. But you really want a man that is doing the work like you're doing the work. I got so many homegirls that say I can't date a man if they're not in therapy, if they're not trying to heal.

Wow. That's what I would want for myself, a secure individual and or someone who is striving to be secure and healing as well as I am healing and trying to heal. I wanted to ask you, what did you think? You know, you are one of the leaders of this new R&B era. What did you think of Diddy's comments that R&B is dead? I thought it was dismissive to all of the amazing legendary artists that have been in the game and that are also contributing. I mean, from Mary J. Blige to Jasmine Sullivan to Summer Walker to Ella Mai

to Money Long, Van Jess. Lucky Day. Lucky Day, Aaron Ray, there's so many of us, Tenariel, Brent Fies, Jalen Jossie,

Her, Her, yes, yes, let's, you know, SZA, like, everyone is still killing it

and dropping music and it was dismissive just because, I don't know. Tank. Gotta say Tank. Yeah, Tank. Exactly.

Amazing. Yeah, I don't know why he said that. It was not nice. All right. But I do love all that he's contributed to music. So it's no shade. But it's like, be more nice to the people that are really, you know, we're out here still. Like, stop it. All right right i often wonder when you was young trying to get on what did you think

the industry would be like and what have you realized you know it really is what did i think it was gonna be like i don't remember i just knew i just i saw bow wow up there and jojo and i just wanted to be like them when I was young. What did I think? I don't know what I thought. Maybe I thought there was going to be a lot of devil people, Illuminati. I've yet to see that. I thought there would be a lot of cocaine. I've yet to see the rooms with...

No one's ever seen you. No one's ever seen you cocaine. I've never seen it before. Are you waiting to sacrifice a family member or something? No, I'm not waiting. I promise. I don't want to sacrifice. I don't think I've ever seen cocaine before either.

No. Yeah, exactly. I've been offered it, but I've never seen it. Wow. I've never been offered. I don't believe. I think I've been offered it twice in my life. Wow.

But they didn't have it in their hand. Wow. They were like, do you party? Yeah. Then I have been offered it before then. In a bathroom. Yes, that's what that meant. Oh my God.

You've been offered cocaine. I have been offered cocaine. It's called a party party. All my friends are in the Illuminati. All your friends are in the Illuminati. I'm just playing. Oh my God. Oh no.

But we do appreciate you. We appreciate your music. Thank you. And you know, I was kind of hurt when you said you don't want to do interviews anymore. I was like, don't let one bad interaction with somebody mess up somebody else, you know? And I'm glad you're over that and I'm glad you're doing interviews again. Thank you. I want people to understand that was just a part of my anxious nature of, like, what I meant earlier when I was just like, nobody cares.

I kind of worst case scenario and jumped to like the extreme I'm kind of black and white with things especially yeah and I definitely didn't mean that I was just so heartbroken by the fact that he would release something that we didn't agree on him releasing and I just kind of felt ambushed you know so yeah. Let's get into a record off the album what you want to hear? Oh I guess Boy Bye cause that's a real sexy record. I love this. Lucky Day is

awesome. I can't wait to see you on TV and movies too I see that in your future as well. Thank you. That's so sweet. Yeah we need to get with Shonda Rhimes and do this mini series How To Get Away With Rapping Oh my god stop it secret struggle rappers I know it would be brilliant That's so sweet. Yeah, we need to get with Shonda Rhimes and do this miniseries, How to Get Away With Rapping. Oh, my God. Stop it, Wade. Secret struggle rappers.

I know. It would be brilliant. Yes. That's what we're going to do. Put a little thriller in. Yes, please. Well, Ari Lennox, thank you for joining us. It wasn't that bad.

It was beautiful. See that? Y'all's energy. Wow. See that? And we prayed before we came in here. Why you talk so damn much? Because we help each other.

Why? Why you talk so much? As a big family. Why you talk so much? Yes. Why you talk so much why do you talk so much because I love you I do feel the peace

you don't love me back no not today you talk too much you guys this is about Ari Lennox not about y'all that's what I'm trying to tell him no I just said we prayed

together as a family what are you talking about oh god we set an intention before the interview that's what we did thank you salute to Ms. Kelly

don't date radio personalities either I felt that what you said so don't ever date a radio personality either. I promise I won't. Almost did. I won't.

Really? See, the interview is about to be over. Now I'm crying. Tell the tea. No more. You can't do that. That's payola. Yeah, really? Oh my God.

I'll keep that in mind no i don't want that breakfast club your mornings will never be the same when it's time to get with someone special the best way to do it is with magnum large size condoms that gold foil wrapper is a badge of honor and it means you're protected and you take care care of things with comfort. Accept no substitutes. Bring the pleasure with the gold standard. Magnum. Large size condom. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the devil.

This is donkey. For the donkey of the day. That's pretty funny. Is Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. All right, I'm going to make this quick. It's just reinforcing a point.

Donkey of the day goes to every single individual who got a fraudulent PPP loan. Because if you haven't heard, President Biden signed a bill aimed at helping crack down on pandemic relief fund. Oh, what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive. All right. There is not one single solitary human I know with good sense who participated in PPP fraud. Why? Because we all knew it was too good to be true. We all knew there was only one place fake LLC Twitter was going to end up, and that's in PPP prison.

Okay. PPP period. And that's why a couple of days ago, President Joe Biden signed a pair of bills to assist prosecutors crack down on pandemic relief funds. Let's listen to what he had to say. Today, I'm signing two bipartisan bills. It will give the federal and local prosecutors more time to hold criminals accountable for defrauding the American people during a once in a century pandemic. American people deserve to know that their tax dollars are being spent as intended. My message to those cheats out there is this.

You can't hide. We're going to find you. We're going to make you pay back what you stole and hold you accountable under the law. I'm going to sign them into law as proof of another piece of my economic plan. The belief that in the United States of America, there is nothing beyond our capacity, nothing when we work together as the United States of America. That's what these bills represent. Y'all know President Biden loves locking black people up and y'all just helped him. See, I'm not wishing jail on nobody. I just understand that there's consequences to all our actions. And for some reason in this era, people have forgotten that. All right, folks want to do whatever it is they want to do

and then get mad when they don't get away with it. It's unreal to me. The mindset is crazy, okay? And these bills that Biden signed will extend the statute of limitations for prosecuting cases of fraud against the government for 10 years. So for the next decade,

if you did a fraudulent PPP scam, you better act like you're a rapper from Atlanta who's been warned by the DA that more recos are on the way over the next 60 days. By the way, she said that three weeks ago, so y'all got about three or four more weeks left. But I just want to know, what made y'all think y'all could get away with this fraudulent PPP loan scam in the first place? Some of y'all never owned a business, never ran a business, nothing. But all of a sudden, you're creating these fake LLCs, lying about the number of employees you have, about the profits you made. We told y'all this was going to lead to you going to PPP prison and you did it anyway.

Okay. I don't feel sorry for y'all. Okay. I feel sorry for all the small businesses, all the small black businesses who couldn't get any PPP money, who wanted the relief, who needed the relief, and for whatever reason couldn't get it. But all of y'all out there with fake LLCs like Dealey Nuts LLC and Beef King LLC and Ritter Wheat Club LLC, would you like to know who those people were? Those were actual businesses who claimed to be farms. But guess what? These farms and I got farms and air quotes. Guess what? These farms were located in beach towns in New Jersey. OK, hundreds of PPP loans went to fake farms in places where there is no damn farms. All right. There was an online lending platform called Cabbage that

sent three hundred and seventy eight pandemic loans worth seven million dollars to fake companies, mostly farms. farms meanwhile real farms couldn't get this kind of relief this is what makes me feel like all of this was a setup okay how are so many legitimate businesses ignored couldn't get the relief they needed what all these fake llcs weren't for all you youtube conspiracy theorists out there this is a conspiracy you can run with because they killed two birds with one stone in this case they killed two niggas with one loan okay because if you're a small black and brown business who couldn't get a ppp loan you probably ended up ultimately losing your business so they killed black and brown businesses and if you're a

black or brown person who got a fake llc now you go into prison and i don't even have to tell you how incarceration kills families so therefore this was the ultimate trap okay you killed two niggas with one loan it was clearly a trap and y'all fell for it i don't feel remorse for any of you okay ppp was intended to help businesses make payroll during the pandemic with those loans being forgiven if companies met specific criteria okay it was for small businesses to stay afloat not for you niggas to ball out on boats okay i don't feel sorry for any of y'all and i am sick of folks acting like there is not consequences to their actions all right we see people doing things that are going to lead them to jail we tell them they're going to jail we can clearly see what the consequences of what they are doing is going to be we warn them they do it they get busted and now we feel sorry for them no not leonard not uncle charla okay

y'all deserve to be afraid all right very afraid over the next decade you made a choice and i hope those crab legs and scrimps and all that casamigos was worth it please give everyone who got a fraudulent PPP loan the biggest hee-haw. Just my thoughts. Just the way I'm feeling at the time. It was a bandemic, you know what I'm saying? People was getting them bands, so I guess it's over now. It's been over.

Oh, it was over two years ago. It's about to be a jail-demic. It's going to be a jail-demic. You hear me? We told y'all this was going to happen. We live. You go back and you told y'all this was going to happen. We live. You go back and you listen to The Breakfast Club during COVID. We told you PPP was going to lead to PP prison. Okay, we saw where this was going.

Y'all didn't listen. Hey, now you got a decade to watch your back. All right. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got some special guests joining us.

Lexandrea. From the Poor Minds Podcast. Welcome. Hi. Thank y'all for having us. Got some mic difficulties, but we got it together. Finally. How y'all feeling this morning?

We feeling good. Let's start from the beginning. How'd you get this podcast started? How did y'all meet? Poor Minds. Oh, Lord. We met at the strip club. We met at the morning? We feeling good. Let's start from the beginning. How'd you get this podcast started? How did y'all meet? Paul Mize. Oh, Lord. We met at the strip club. We met at the club.

We was drinking and making money. What club was it? It was called Primetime. Primetime. That's in Texas? It was in Houston, but it wasn't open that long. That was an African Christmas club, right? No, no, no.

It was like- It was DC, the guy that used to own V-Live. Okay. So they were trying to do like a Starlets. Like Starlets version. That's where the script was a whack with the bartenders. Y'all were there drinking, chilling. What made y'all meet and link and connect?

Because usually girls, when they meet each other, they don't really connect. Y'all connected over y'all baby hairs. Both of y'all baby hairs. You know what's crazy? When I was laying on my head, I was like, he don't say something about our baby hair. You know what's crazy? When I was laying my head, I was like, he don't say something

about our hair. That's what it is. Because we was laying them down this morning. We don't play, we don't lay them edges. No, but I think the reason we connected was because

she didn't know how to make drinks at all. Yeah, this was my first real bartending job. Yeah. You was f***ing niggas up. I would. But she's a good talker.

She was finessing the niggas I was making the drinks and we was making a lot of money together. I was like, okay. Define finessing the niggas. I was making the drinks. We was making a lot of money together. I was like, okay. The first night that we worked together. We were actually working together for a few months before we actually talked. Then one night, this guy came

to the club and he was talking to me. I'm like, he's talking about, girl, he went to Long Island. I don't know how to make this. He was asking for everything. He was like, man, can you make me this girl? I'm like, I don't know how to make it. Hennessy he was asking for everything. He was like, man, can you make me this drink? I was like, I don't know how to make it. It's Hennessy and Coke. And so I think we made like $4,000. Damn.

And we split it. Well, how do bartenders finesse? Like, I'm trying to figure out what. Well, it was just because, like, I think a lot of it is he was just so impressed that she could actually make a drink. But it was really me making the drinks. Like, you know, so we just kind of got it. I was like, OK, this is what we're going to do. Yeah. You're going to take all these. I'm going to make the drinks. Like, you know, so we just kind of got, I was like, okay, this is what we gonna do. You gonna take all

these, I'm gonna make the drinks, just let me know what you need. And it was like, the service was fast, because we was working together, but they didn't know that. I was asking, what made y'all start the podcast? How did y'all start it? What was that decision? You're like, people, whenever we're around people, they always be like, y'all so crazy, and y'all so funny. Like, y'all need y'all own show. Y'all need to,

people need to see this, because we really are like these off-camera, too. But I feel because we really are like these off camera too. But I feel like too, like, you know how when people say that, everybody feel like if they have a good conversation, oh,

I need a podcast. Or they have a good time, like, oh my God, girl, we need a reality show. Oh, they should be replacing

Angelina Jolie. Oh my God, yes, right. And be like, that's not what God got planned for. Right,

right, right. But for us, it was just a little different because I mean, we wouldn't even be doing shit. We would just be sitting on the couch at somebody's house being ourselves. And people be like, man, right, right. But for us, it was just a little different because, I mean, we wouldn't even be doing shit.

We would just be sitting on the couch at somebody's house being ourselves. And people were like, man, like, it was every time. I mean, no matter where we went, if we're in front of strangers, people who knew us, it was like, okay, well, let's, like, start a YouTube channel. We never thought that we were going to get into podcasting. Because her ex gave her the idea for us to start the YouTube channel because we used to do, like, a little show called

Wind Down Wednesday before we switched it over to Poor Minds and we got that idea from him and then one of her friends was already a podcaster and she was like, y'all need to turn it into a podcast because y'all can make

way more money and monetize it. So that's when we switched the name to Poor Minds. Who was your friend? Mandy. Oh, Mandy. So we can have

some horrible decisions. Okay. And who was your ex? Nobody important. Yeah, that man is Nobody. That man is responsible for founding the Paul Ryan Podcast. We cool. It ain't no... Our listeners are very, very nosy.

So as soon as I name y'all, they're going to be like, I knew it. Oh, is somebody people know? Hell no. I think Houston people know. Yeah, Houston people definitely know. Nah, people don't know him. DM me, homie. I'm going to give you your credit. Don't say that to people. People are like, what's up? What's up,

man? Let's work. Let's work. Me and the bro working. Don't do your rapping. Oh, brothers. She didn't even say bruh. She said brother. No, he must be terrible. Is he terrible? Is he good? No, he's not a terrible person. I just feel like

you know. No, I'm talking about a terrible rapper. Oh, don't. Oh, my God. Okay, let me say this honestly. Okay. He can write. He got some good lyrics. I feel like it's different between making good music and being like a lyricist.

He can write all day. Raps are good. Songs, not so much. But, you know, you never know. Send me the records, bro. Send me the records. No, because when you react to people on their song, you're going to be know, you never know. Send me your records, bro. No, because when you react to people on that song, you're going to be like, this is ass, Lexi.

What was you thinking? Oh, man. So for people that don't know, never heard the podcast, what do y'all talk about and discuss on the podcast? We talk about everything. We talk about dating. We talk about sex. We talk about music. I talk about sex. We talk about

music. I mean, we really just be navigating through life. I think that that's one of the great things about our podcast is that you can see the growth. Because we keep up all of the old content. So you can look back from four years ago and really just see us grow and see the evolution of the conversations. At one point, we just used to talk about

money. Like men with money. I think a lot of times people have the podcast all wrong, you know, because all of the clips that happen to go viral be us talking about men with money or, you know, dating and trying to figure out, you know, having higher standards and getting that confidence that you never had. And, you know, how we can talk about music and just show us in a different light. Cause of course, when people look at us and, you know, we sexy, we'd like to be baddies, but it's so much more than that to us. You know? So I feel like that's who the podcast is for.

Cause we like to say, you know, traditionally like baddies, don't listen to podcasts, you know, they just like baddies don't listen to podcasts. You know, they just be outside. So we feel like this is a lane for the baddies. Define a baddie for those who may not

know what a baddie is. I mean, I definitely feel like, you know, you have to look the part, but that's secondary. I feel like it's more of a mindset thing.

There's some musty baddies out there now. No, you can't be musty and bad. That's what I'm saying. To me, like a baddie is somebody who like they're confident first of all like they walk in a room it doesn't

matter you know how other people view them they know how they view themselves and I feel like that's with us like we don't care what clip goes viral or what y'all think y'all can be like how these birds get on breakfast club because it's gonna be a lot of people saying that I don't care you know what i'm saying so i feel like it's just like a confidence thing you know and like i

said we cannot act like it's not the looks thing too like that's what she said you know you gotta be like you gotta be a nice person like i feel like you can't be a baddie and be mean yeah like i mean we don't like mean girls like some girls just be mean as hell for no reason what if you nice confident and musty you're not a baddie musty people be coming around like they ain't staying y'all a man with a baddie or not are you saying you are a baddie you got the bucket hat on you got the gold chain on

you even baddie y'all bump some Betty's. Tell Unc some more. Because you over there icing. Not big Unc. Betty's Unc. All right, we got more with the ladies from Poor Minds. All right, Lex and Drea, so don't move.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, it's DJ, Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Lex Andrea from the Poor Minds Podcast so y'all said y'all dating are y'all dating? um

I'm single right now yeah and y'all talking about relationships on the podcast right right um I actually just got out of a situation so you know

a situation I know a relationship that's all he was no we weren't in a relationship no you said situations okay cause it's like it's been complicated

it's been a very long time of a lot of back and forth. But, you know, I'm single now, so. What made you finally break up? He went back this way. Not this one. I'm weak, but no,

I just feel like I'm at a different point in my life. You know, I've had a lot of changes and a lot of things going on. I just feel like we're in two different places.

It ain't no bad blood. Like, I still got love for him. You know, it ain't nothing. I'm not a girl that like, oh, I hate him and I'm going to talk down on him. I've feel like we're in two different places. It ain't no bad blood. I still got love for him. I'm not a girl that like, oh, I hate him and I'm going to talk down on him. I've never been that way. What was the situation? What made y'all finally say it was over? I mean, a lot of stress

in our relationship. Foremind's popping too much. No, not that. I mean, I'm busy. I travel a lot. He has a lot going on. Not that. I'm living I'm busy. I travel a lot. You know, he has a lot going on. Not that. Y'all popping. I mean, I'm living a baddie life right now. So I got to do what I got to do.

Do men get jealous because they see y'all, you know, starting to grow in this space? I don't know. I haven't really witnessed jealousy so much. But I think that it's weird because a lot of guys that I used to talk to be trying to like come back to me. And they be trying to do like extravagant things to talk back to me now. And I think that's very strange because it's like what made you have such a sudden change of heart? I like the sudden

change of heart. I don't like it. Because it come with gifts. I don't like it. I mean it do come with gifts but it's still like I'm going to take the gifts but still leave me alone. Right. Facts. We always take the gifts. What's the most expensive thing a guy has bought you? This was a while back but he put that helped me get a car. What's the most expensive thing a guy has bought you? This was a while back, but he helped me get a car. What kind of car was it, first of all?

I got a Dodge Challenger. So, you know, and then I got him to pay off my car. Oh, he paid Joe Biden? I would have waited in the pocket of that money and did something else. No, it's good. You got your student loan. I used to be a responsible baddie in the streets. You know, like, you get money from a man.

Girls was buying bags and shoes. I was the one like, let me pay my bills. What about you? Most expensive gift? A guy bought me a Range Rover last year. Nice, too. Brand new. No bills?

I like the student loan payment better. That's player. Range Rover's like $90,000, bro. Yeah. I don't care. You should have paid for the student loans. She got $90,000. She could sell it and pay off loans and have extra.

You can't be my ex after I pay your student loans off. Why? You can't just walk away from me after that. Why? That's where you draw the line. So you would buy a car, but you wouldn't pay. You draw the line for student loans. For student loans?

Because you feel like she can progress in life now. Yes. Oh, she knows. She about to get married. She about to get her training together. So wait a minute. How do you break up with him? Yes.

How do you just walk away from a man after that? No, that was two different guys. Okay, well, for both of y'all, how do you just walk away from a man who paid your student loans? Easily if he's toxic.

Right. It's easy to walk away, but honestly, I feel like that's what we talk about on the show a lot. I feel like a lot of young women, they out here like chasing these guys with money

and then they have no like end goal. And I'm not saying, you know, use people. That's not what I'm saying. But I feel like in certain situations, we know what it is. Let's not be dumb. These men want sex, you know, and women want money, whatever. So if you're young and doing that, at least be smart about it.

So that's what we try to tell people. At least be smart. Like, don't be out here trying to keep up with her and buying Rick Owens, buying Prada, going, doing all this. So for us, like when you're dealing with a man and he. I got all the Prada too. I got all the Prada too. I bought my own Prada, thank you.

I got all the Prada too. I'm not saying that, but like, I just mean as far as like when you're dealing with a guy who buys you a bag, you'll leave. So why can't I deal with a guy who paid off my student loans and leave? I've never bought a bag before, but. It was Michael Kors, it don't count. Michael Kors? I might have to take away your baddie card. This was years ago.

I ain't had no business buying her that bag. MK used to be popping. I remember I had a Michael Kors watch. How do you break up? How do you break up with somebody that bought you a Range Rover? How is it over? We never together. Tell him the whammy though. What's the they were never together tell them the whammy though

what's the whammy you know the whammy that I didn't have sex with him I said that you didn't say that you did not say that you did not say that what did he say

I absolutely just said that what was this he was a guy yeah he was a guy this man bought you a Range Rover and you never let him smell it no yams

no yams break this down so what happened he just hey babe I want to buy you a Range Rover and you never let him smell it? No yams. No yams. Break this down. So what happened? He just, hey, babe, I want to buy you a Range Rover. Okay, so I met him through one of my other friends. And so I guess he wanted to talk to me. We had hung out a few times. And all of a sudden, he just started texting her.

And he was like, I want to buy Adria another car. Big trick energy. Yeah. And so she was like, of course, she was like, hell yeah, go ahead, buy it. So then she was texting me and she was like, oh, what kind of car is he like? So I was like, okay, I either want a GLE coupe or I want a Range Rover. And he was like, okay, I'm gonna get it. And then he started texting Legs, saying

the same thing. He was like, yeah, I just really want to get Dre another car because I still have my other car too that I had before he bought me the Range Rover. And so he tried to buy one and then it didn't go through. Something happened. He got the clothes. The pieces wasn't here. The pieces wasn't here. The pieces wasn't hidden.

The pieces wasn't hidden. The pieces wasn't hidden. The black one. And then something happened. He couldn't get it. Then we got into it a few weeks later. I blocked him and stuff

and then all of a sudden he just popped up with this white Range Rover. He finally stole somebody's credit card that worked. Yeah. I think that is what probably happened.

He didn't try. He didn't try to have sex with you. Smash. Nothing. Of course he did. But I just wasn't interested because he was corny. Because even. I knew he was doing it because he wanted like recognition.

Because even when he told me that he got the car. He was hitting her up and my friend. He was like. Oh yeah. I want to take all of y'all out to eat. And I'm going to hire a videographer. And he wanted us to like talk about it on the show. And he wanted us to post it.

It was just weird. It was a lot. He was doing a lot. He was real corny. But that's why I said the finesse came in because I was definitely helping. I'm like, yeah, she cares about you, bro. Get the car. And then she needs the car. And then I ended up finding out he was going around telling people in Atlanta that he had sex with me and he never had sex with me.

So I was like, I knew he was corny. But it was the story behind it. Hell no, he's not, we don't understand him saying that though. He bought you a car. You should let that rumor slide. You're supposed to let a rumor slide when somebody said they had sex with you. He bought you a car. No. I didn't ask him to.

That's what I'm saying. She didn't ask for it. So you say he in jail right now? Yeah. PPP scam. He in there for something. But that's what happens when you're She didn't ask for it. So you say he in jail right now? Yeah. PPP scam. He in there for something, but that's what happens when you're not a nice person.

Wow. A man bought you a car and he not a nice person. But you know what? That's a good point because I always say just because somebody does something good for you

doesn't mean they're good for you. Right. And you don't owe them anything. And he had ulterior motives. That wasn't coming from his heart, so you got played. But you said earlier that men and women

know what it is. Women want money and men want sex. So is that really an arterial motive? I mean, but it was more than that, though. It wasn't just the sex for him.

Like I said, he wanted to recommend, like he wants to be popular. I think he wanted to date her. Yeah, he wanted to date her, but not because it was like he really liked her. It was like, oh.

He was ugly? He kind of looked like a lesbian. Yeah, he's one of them. He looked like... A stud. Yeah, he's giving those kind of vibes. Like if you Yeah, he's one of them. He looked like... A stud. Yeah, he's giving those kind of vibes. Like, if you saw him, you would be confused.

You would be confused. He was very feminine. Like, if you saw Dre with him, you'd be like, damn, I didn't know Dre was that way. I didn't know she was lesbian. I didn't know she was that way. He didn't have lesbian vibes. He was definitely like...

And then he tried to be my bestie, so I was like... He was. He would be texting her. It was so weird. He was like like... And then he tried to be my bestie, so I was like, hang on. He was. He would be texting her. It was so weird. He was like, yeah. He was like, I gotta get... He texted you one time

when he said, I gotta get Dre out of this car because she said she gonna... What did he say? I can't remember. He said something crazy. Like I said, I was gonna give him

some s*** or something. Yeah, it was something wild. And I never said that. And she didn't, but I said that she was. You said she was? Hell yeah, I'm trying to ride on the range. Hold on,

so you lied to the man and told him, you just lied on him. We lie for each other. You just lie on Andrea's mouth like that. I love it. No,

we lie for each other all the time. When did I tell you you lied for Lex, Andrea? I'm crying. Probably like two months ago. About what?

We just be lying for each other. I can't even remember. It be like small things. Small things. We'll just give each other that look and I'll be like, oh, I gotta lie. Alright, we got more with the ladies from Poor Minds. Alright,

Lex and Drea, so don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy the guy we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it with lex andrea from the poor minds podcast charlamagne so now lex i heard you say that women cheat better than men i absolutely believe it because black men don't cheat so of course y'all would be that's a lie black men that is a lie i'm a black man i got a mirror black boys black boys black men don't cheat.

Either way it goes. I feel like women cheat better. How I got cheated on? Huh? How I got cheated on? Dating a black boy? Was he even black? I don't even know if he was black.

He was black. Okay. Maybe I'm putting the ladies on blast right now, but I feel like we're just a little more smooth and sneaky with it. Women are smarter. Yes, women are smarter. Like, guys will be out with another girl and letting her post and record and other people done with it. Women are smarter. Yes, women are smarter. Like, guys will be out with another girl and letting her post

and record and other people done seen it. Like, guys are just sloppy. Yeah. I'm not saying that I've done this before, but it's like,

if I'm with my man and I see a guy like my little side, what's up, bro? I ain't seeing any of that in my wife. Yeah. And everybody knows

my personality. So they just be like, oh, Lex, you know, she got a lot you know so what if that what if my boy blow you up

right then and there but he not but he not because when you when you cool with people and it ain't that they know how to act y'all been cheating on

before both of y'all hell yeah y'all deserved it what you mean why would you say that I did not say that I did not say that I didn't say that

I did not say anything I didn't say nothing how did y'all find. I did not say anything. I didn't say nothing. How did y'all find out? I have good investigation skills. I've had people tell me things. I say this all the time. I don't know why people like to lie. I got a fake page.

Baby, I gots to go look. You never got caught cheating, Lex, ever? Never. I haven't either. I only cheated one time, though. It was like way back in college. You cheated on your boyfriend? Why?

Because the sex was wet Okay that's a reasonable reason And then we were in two different cities Okay that's another reasonable reason So I was away in school and he was still in Houston Damn he never know about this He probably broke that boy heart He never knew?

No he never knew He know now He never cheated on you? He cheated on you before? No not him It was somebody else that cheated on you he cheated on you before no not him it was somebody else that cheated on me but I found out

because I went through his phone and that was the last time I ever got through anybody's phone because I lost 15 pounds she really did you was stressed out yes I was stressed what did you find on his phone

lost the ass and everything he was just talking to a whole bunch of girls on Instagram DMs and telling them you was a savage yeah

well I was a savage before that I think for me like when I cheat if you don't. I think for me, like, when I cheat, if you don't tell me you love me, I'm going to cheat. You said what? If you don't say I love you,

if you don't tell me good morning, I'm going to cheat. Lex is a cheater, though. She's like a certified cheater. If you don't say I love you, I'm going to cheat. So you cheat on all your love. She like a pro. No, you're not saying that.

Grand rising queen. I love you. I'm going to cheat. If you say grand rising, I'm going to cheat. What do you Grand Rising, I'm going to cheat. What do you mean? Why would you say that? That's the upgraded version

of Good Morning. No, Grand Rising Queen. Grand Rising Queen. Oh, hell no. I already know you about to be on some bulls**t. Nobody didn't tell me Grand Rising. I don't want to hear that s**t.

Damn. Now, let's talk about the fluid out. The fluid out conversation. Somebody flies you out what are you giving them back are you expecting to give them something

not a damn thing she got a range rover and they ain't giving nothing back you think a flight gonna do it look chill out you baddie I'm talking to them the baddie knows the baddie knows

the baddie knows uncle baddie uncle baddie knows that's my new name from now on I want y'all to stamp it don't call me nothing else okay

but no honestly I used to no, honestly, I used to be like that. I used to go on trips with people and knew that I wasn't going to have sex with them. But do you tell them up front? No, I would just go and enjoy myself and be like, uh-uh. You ever lie to my period on? Yeah, I have. I actually put a tampon in

one time. But what about when a man say, I don't care. Period don't stop nothing but a sentence. Then what? I would just be like, no, I don't want to do that. I don't care, period, don't stop nothing but a sentence. Then what? I could just be like, no, I don't want to do that. I don't want to smell like pennies in here. What? Smelling like pennies?

I've got lift places before. Facts. On vacation? Yeah. I mean, we're nowhere off the country. Right, right, right. But like, I got lift

in Miami one time. So God flew you out. Yeah. And you said- He actually lived here. He said you were on your period. And then he left. Well, I didn't tell him I was on my period.

I just straight up told him like, I didn't want to have sex with him. But he was mad because he had bought me some shoes. What kind of shoes? Some Louboutins. And you walked right out of his life. God damn it. So he left you in the hotel? Yes, he left me.

He didn't book my return flight. And this was when I was still living in Houston. I hadn't moved to L.A. Did you have the money to get back? Yeah, I did. I did. But what if I didn't though? This is why I don't date outside my race. Because he was a white man. I ain't mad at you. You shouldn't have gave that white man nothing.

And I didn't. That's reparation. I ain't mad at you. They on tour right now. You can see them. Arlington, Virginia on the 18th of September yes Richmond the 21st Tampa

October 4th October 5th Miami and October 6th Orlando and y'all just did New York how was the New York show? oh my god

it was lit the energy was really really good yeah New York I feel like New York is kind of a different market it's kind of hard yeah cause we country

obviously y'all can tell so I feel like when we come to New York, people be like, where are these country bumpkins and this and that? But all their family from down south. Yeah. They really showed us love. So y'all don't have no other jobs.

This is it. This is it. I finally was able to quit my job. You quit last year. Yeah, it was last year, wasn't it? Beginning of last year. Yeah, yeah. So for me, it was like I moved to Atlanta literally with nothing.

You know, I was trying to figure things out. And it was really, it was like a really, really hard time for me. Like the thing that I love about Poor Minds, and that's why we keep the old videos up. Like we joke about it, like how my hair used to look, our makeup. Because I mean, I didn't have any money. It was what I could do at the time. But we keep those old videos up so people can see the growth, you know, and they can see

what consistency and when you really believe in yourself can get you because I feel like we've only just scratched the surface of what we're going to do, you know?

Agreed. So, yeah, I haven't had a job in like four years. Really? What was the last job? What was both of y'all's last job? I used to bartend.

Okay. But that was like, but I haven't did that since like 2018. I had like a nine to five. I wasn't even ready to quit my job. They kind of like gave me an ultimat But that was like it. But I haven't did that since like 2018. I had like a nine to five. I wasn't even ready to quit my job. They kind of like

gave me an ultimatum and was like, okay, either you're going to be here or be there. And I was like, you know what? Dre was like,

girl, go ahead and quit. We going to figure it out. So it was like, I just quit and we figured it out. Well, I find y'all very entertaining.

Thank you. I think those laid edges need to be on TV. Period. And I can't, oh, I know what I wanted to ask y'all about. The Division video. Y'all was in the Division video. We were in the Division video. That was fun.

It was really fun. I think that's really how we be in real life. And I had a column in me giving her bad advice. Me in the bed with my man. And me taking it. And I be taking the advice. But yeah, the video was cool the video was fun it's funny because I didn't even hear the song

until it came out really so you didn't know they didn't have the song playing while y'all was doing the video nope I want to ask this question for the white men

and the Asian men and the black boys is cheating a deal breaker not white cause black men don't cheat so I'm asking for them is cheating a deal breaker in the space I'm in, I think it would be.

Yeah, the space of a cheater. You a cheater, so you can't be judgmental and hypocritical. No, no, no. Not like that, but I feel like it's a lot more. What was made. No, I just feel like, you know, we have to live out our lives online a lot of times. Cheating is something hard to go through. So having to go through that under a magnifying glass in front of everybody,

I don't think I would be ready for that. So you can cheat, but you can't let somebody else cheat on you? Absolutely. It's rules. It's rules. For me, it's not a deal breaker because the way I look at it is like, okay, is this a I messed up one time

thing or is this like this is what you do? But it's like, that's the difference though. You cheating one night but you paid her rent? Oh yeah, you giving her money? Oh no, you care.

You gave her a Birkin? You like the girl. Like you paid her rent, you gave her money, you giving her money. Just because I buy a woman a Birkin don't mean I like her.

Excuse me? You received a Range Rover you didn't like that man. Go ahead, I received it, I didn't buy it like that, man. Go ahead, Betty. I'm just saying. I received it. I didn't buy it. Same difference.

It's the same difference. So, yeah, I think honestly, but like she said, I kind of agree, you know, it's levels to cheating, honestly. Like, the emotional cheating is way worse. So what if you sleep with a man, right,

and the condom gets stuck in you, then you go sleep with the guy you really like, and they find the condom. Would you want him to forgive you? You guys said that sandpaper down there, hun. Because why is it grabbing anything like that?

What are you talking about? Man, if y'all ain't got that grip, man, at y'all age, something ain't right now. Missed the grip. I'm weak. No, but situations like that, it ain't like that. Like I said, I'm not, I be being funny, of course, but like I said, I'm not, I be being funny, of course. But like I said, I've had situations where I messed up. I slipped up.

It's not like something I do all the time. And I'm just, you know. How many times have you slipped up? What you mean slipped up? Every time. Every time? No, I don't do it. Honestly, but okay.

I'll say this. Percentage wise. Honestly, I think. You ain't never getting a man after this. I'm telling you that right now. But I'm being honest. But I feel like women don't be honest I keep it real with my shit I feel like this last situation I got out of no I wasn't I was very faithful

because like I said I wanted a certain outcome you know so I was like you know what let me give 100% of myself but I'm not gonna lie when I first moved to Atlanta I got in a relationship this was what 2017 and I was with somebody you know who was kind of known and it was just like I just kind of had checked out but that

was my comfort zone so it was just kind of like I was just in a weird space you know and like I said I was young I'm 33 now like I'm out I'm out the game I'm retired auntie is tired I really don't want two three like men like I don't want to do that so you know I'm not proud of my past

but I'm growing every day. For now, it's a new day and I'm an untouched queen. Your wholeness has been deleted is what you think. It's been deleted. Can I get an amen? Follow them right now at
