I wanted to give a shout out to my mom.
It always makes me feel weird when people do nice things for me, but she paid my car
note this month.

I wouldn't be paying your car note.
I love your mommy.

You don't look like Natori to me.
I'm going to be honest with you.

Hello, who's this?
What's up?
I'm going to subscribe.
Hey, what's up bro
Get it off your chest
Yo I was just gonna
You wanted to find out
About soccer
For your son right
Uh huh
Why don't you
Why don't you watch
Ted Lasso
Ted Lasso
Hilarious
My wife loves Ted Lasso
I mean you are not
Yeah
You are
You do a whole edification
On it man
You be good
I just happened to
Stumble across it
And it gave me a new love
For football
For the real football.
Are they serious?
My wife watches that show.
I don't—
What's that show?
What's the show about?
It's a comedy.
It's a comedy, but at the same time, it tells you more like—
when you're like a novice about soccer, it gives you more with the pitches,
how they have training, how we call it practice.
They call it training.
We call it cleats.
They call it practice, they call it training, how we call it cleats, they call it boots.
It's just little nuanced things that you pick up on just watching the show.
I just happened to stumble across it one night because I was bored.
You know what's funny?
I got hooked.
It's funny you say that because I'm watching my son.
He comes back to the call.
He was like, yeah, he was like, yeah, training went good today.
And I'm like, training?
You had practice.
He was like, no, dad, we trained.
We used to play football.
You know what I'm saying?
Because my son went to college on a football scholarship.
So I'm used to being, you know, football is just a different dynamic.
But that, American football rather.
But you get more involved and more invested in them.
And like Charlamagne said, yo, they get bread, bro.
Hey.
They get bread.
They get bread.
They get injured a lot, too.
They say they have a lot of CTE problems with them headbutting the ball and all that.
For real?
Mm-hmm.
Get it off your chest.

All right.
Well, get it off your chest, Ted.
I'm calling in early this morning, man.
I'm going to get off my chest.
These big-ass s*** out here
and make me a hard-fought real s***.
That's why I say it ain't a stereotype if it's true,
because I knew something was up.
I was about to ask you what you identify as,
but I was going to mind my business this morning,
but you let the world know.
Oh, no.
Oh, definitely.
I identify as a woman.
Hey, what's a fake s***?
I'm a stud.
You a stud, though?
Yeah, I'm a stud.
I'm a dude in the register.
What's a fake d***?
A fake d*** would be something that you would call a d***.
It's kind of like double chinning.
We already chinning out here anyway.
They already say we're chinning by being what we are.
You know what I'm saying?
So you want people, you want the real studs of the world to just swear off d***?
They can't have no penis whatsoever?
No, no, nothing, man.
Just go vegan. If you bet off. Go vegan. Jesus Christ penis whatsoever. No, no, nothing, man. Just go vegan.
You'll be better off.
Go vegan.
Jesus Christ.
Wouldn't that be pescatarian, though?
No, not even.
Because it's fish.
Y'all eat fish?
Yeah, we're going to eat some fish, but, you know, the human body ain't fish.
I hope they ain't eating fish.
Okay.
He wasn't talking.

800-585-1051
If you need to vent
Hit us up now
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Yes, indeed.
Jeezy's here.
What up, though?
What's happening?
What's happening?
The new book, Adversity for Sale, is out right now.
Y'all got to believe it.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
Why did you decide to write a book?
As quiet as you are about your history, your past, and everything you've been through, what made you decide to write a book? As quiet as you are about your history, your past, and everything you've been through,
what made you decide to write a book?
You know, well, statute of limitations is up far as I know.
So I definitely ran everything through my lawyers.
That was first and foremost.
It was actually a lot of stuff I had to take out of the book because I just didn't want to put myself in no crazy positions.
But before I even say that, let me shout out to my brother right here to my right
because this book was something I had been working on.
And I had one situation and it fell through and i called charlamagne i was like
bro who published your book how did you get it done and he pointed me in the right direction
and thank you for that bro i love my brother he helped me get this done so you know just know
charlamagne had a lot to do with that but right now you know me envy man like i've been through a
lot and i started to get on this journey of, like, healing.
And that felt magical to me, bro.
It was like, I just want to share it.
Because even when I was in the streets and I was talking about motivation, that's what I really wanted to do, motivate people.
And now it's like I got all this information, all this new knowledge, all these new mentors.
And I'm just getting all this data.
And it's just like I can't take it with me.
So I want to just share it.
And I feel like you know
writing a song is it's cool because you know we pretty much anybody can make a record but I don't
think anybody can articulate their lives and put it in a book form and affect somebody else and I
know that I'm able to write so this was like this was uh personal for, you know, in the culture. And I'm hoping that somebody can get this book and really, you know, find their way.
When did Jeezy change and become the new and improved Jeezy and less?
Oh, I can answer that just by reading the book.
When did that happen?
I mean, it happened a few times.
The last time it happened is when I got locked up in L.A. on that Wiz Khalifa tour.
It was just a reality check.
You know what I'm saying?
And I almost was, you know, they basically tried to charge me with murder.
And my team with murder.
And they're just like, I ain't doing nothing wrong.
So for me, that was one of the moments, like, no matter how successful you are, you know what I'm saying, they really still, you know.
And I just was like, man, I had to just switch it all up.
And then a lot of things
Happened in the time that I was in jail that I thought some people was gonna look out for me But they didn't and that really crushed me because it was just like I always look out for everybody, bro
I'm always taking care of people and I just kind of felt like you just do it
You know cuz you're a real one and then we start figuring out like now you might be the only
Real person in this situation.
Now you're like, damn, I'm by myself.
And I just had to, you know, make a change, man.
I remember just calling home and talking to my daughter.
My first daughter had just been born then.
And it was just embarrassing, man, to call, you know, you're supposed to be this big man, this superstar.
And you're calling home, collect, you know, from jail.
And your baby's on the other line that can barely even talk.
And she's, where you at?
And you're like, daddy's going to be home in a minute.
Like, it's like, you know what I mean?
It was like, damn.
Like, bro, you better, you know.
And so that was like the real time.
But every time before that, you know, it was just always instances where I just knew that this wasn't going to work out for me.
Right?
So I had to figure out how to change without losing everything.
You know what I'm saying?
Because it got to a point even with the music, you know,
and people say it all the time, I want your old music,
but it's just like that was my old life.
Like I can't continue to give you something that I'm not doing.
It's like me trying to give you some food at my house I don't even eat.
You know what I'm saying?
And it's just like you get caught up in that,
and then if you're not careful, you'll get stuck in that mindset, right?
And you'll continue to do the same things.
And that's why a lot of people didn't understand the verses.
It's like, no, bro.
I got to.
I started this in my mind.
I got to put it into this.
I went to Nipsey Hussle's funeral.
You feel what I'm saying?
Like, I was there.
I felt that pain.
I felt that energy.
And I'm like, I don't understand why Nip is not here no more. You know I'm saying
I don't know why I hit me so serious when pop smoked I you know
Maybe because he was in my studio when I threw puff a Super Bowl party
I didn't even know who pop was he was with me can fab and all these guys was in my studio house
We all part and I was that like pop. I was okay cool
The next time he'll buy me there there but like why he did all this
work you know to become a superstar and to get out of Brooklyn and then you go down the hills
you know so so I'm just looking at this and I'm like how can I be effective because I'm not trying
to preach or teach to nobody but it's just like bro on the other side of the bush, it's a whole nother life, man. It's like peace and happiness and family and real friends.
That's right.
You know what I'm saying?
People you can call and say, hey, you know, Jan's my heart, by the way.
Salute to Jan.
Love Jan.
Salute to Jan.
Like, she's my heart, bro.
Like, we're really friends.
Absolutely.
Right?
And she goes hard for me.
She don't even, she don't know my walk of life, but just imagine, you know.
She feel your spirit.
Right.
And there's a relationship, and that's what real friends are. I mean, she don't know my walk of life, but just imagine. She feel your spirit. Right.
And there's a relationship, and that's what real friends are.
They turn you on to other people, and people help each other out instead of trying to bring you down.
So that's what the book is really about to me.
It's about building and being and understanding that it ain't never too late to be better, man.
One big transformation that's in the book, right around the recession time, when you decided to lose weight and everything.
Yeah.
That's when I got my sex symbol on.
That was a good time.
Which part are you talking about in particular?
You said you didn't like all of that.
You didn't like the way you were living.
You weren't drinking no water.
You weren't eating right.
Chris style and Waffle House.
Decided to lose 60 pounds.
Yeah, I did.
And the crazy thing was, well, what I really realized,
like, because that was around the recession,
I wrote the recession.
The recession was the first time I, like,
dialed everything back and was just really focused on the music.
I wasn't doing no partying, nothing.
I was just working out, reading, learning.
And it was like, when I went out there to do that tour,
that was the first time I felt like a star.
You feel what I'm saying?
Because every time before that, up until that, I was going through, you know, survivor's remorse.
I was depressed.
I was going through all these things.
But now I'm shaking this off and I lost 60 pounds.
Instead of it being all these gangsters in the front row, now it's ladies and they're throwing bras.
And I'm like, I ain't never going back.
You know what I'm saying?
And that was the first time I really embraced you
know who I was becoming and also too I started to notice like when I was healthier I was just
making better decisions in life bro because this is the thing like we all real everybody come from
where they come from but you only get one shot you know what I'm saying like they say you born
you look like your daddy when you die you look like your decision that's right so at the end of
the day bro just like I could have took a lot of right and left turns and did a lot of crazy things but i was brave
enough to start making decisions that i can actually live a life you know i'm saying rather
than to look like i was living a life because that's what goes on our culture we all look like
we living good but are we really that's right you know i'm saying? Like, are we happy? Are we at peace?
You know what I mean?
Do we got real people around us?
All those things weren't happening for me.
I was basically, like, getting up every day, playing this role, you know what I'm saying?
And in it, but hoping I stay alive or free.
You know what I'm saying?
So imagine that.
You know, you got the world in your hands, and it's just like, you know, it's not really
in your hands, bro.
Like, you know, you wake up tomorrow, you'll be all gone.
All right, we got more with Jeezy when we come back.
Don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Is your country falling apart?
Feeling tired?
Depressed?
A little bit revolutionary?
Consider this.
Start your own country.
I planted the flag.
I just kind of looked out of, like, this is mine.
I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.

Everybody's doing it.
I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
I am the Queen of Ladonia.
I'm Jackson I, King of Kaperburg.
I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.
Be part of a great colonial tradition.
Why can't I create my own country?
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their territory.
I was making a rocket with a black powder,
you know, with explosive warheads.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
Bullets.
We need help!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

but you just don't know what is going to come for you.
Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams.
I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves.
For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Jeezy.
Charlamagne?
What does 50 years of hip-hop mean to Jeezy?
Man, I mean, it's so young. It's so young, but yet so powerful, man.
Like, when I look around, I see my peers, man. I'm just proud, bro.
Like I'm just proud to see like the dramas and all these guys just being so successful and changing lives, making companies, holding down platforms.
It's only 50 years old. You know, think about that.
You see it and you know, I don't what hip-hop makes all the way around i mean even for yourself car shows and you know and the stuff you do like i don't know what it makes if we all
you know just the billions that it makes but it's 50 years old just imagine seeing a 50 year old
person that's worth you know you know two three hundred billion dollars because he affects
everything so just look at hip-hop as a person it's like we've all been able to eat off of it
right and we've all been able to learn right of it. Right. And we all been able to learn.
Right.
And I tell people all the time, like I learned from Tupac, like, which is why my music was
always serious to me.
Like, well, I never just wrote it for money.
Like, I didn't write the book for money.
We could take the book off the table and I'd still be here because this is my purpose.
But hip hop gave me a purpose.
Hip hop gave me a voice.
Hip hop gave me a platform hip-hop saved my life
right you feel i'm saying because i could have been out of here and god willing you know i never
thought what i would be doing music in real life i love reading books like yours because you get to
see how how a whole city grew and evolved right alana Atlanta. I didn't realize Shorty Red had that much influence over your whole career.
I mean, we knew he was one of your go-tos when it came to production,
but I'm talking about just as far as everything.
Yeah, no.
For what it's worth, you know, I feel Shorty.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, I feel what he's going through, where he's at.
I've been there.
You know, we just got to all just climb out of there.
But as far as, as like showing me the ropes
allowing me to be around so i can understand what to do musically um that was all me just hanging
around him and then when we created a sound that was me and him sitting in his basement you know
shawty believed in me then you know i'm saying and and again like a lot of things happened like
fame happened success Success happened.
And, you know, I just ran with the wind, right?
So maybe we didn't have the conversations of how that was going to work out if I was to succeed.
Is there anything that you feel like you left out of the book?
I mean, you didn't even get into your new life being a husband.
Yep, yep.
Well, I felt, you know, and people ask me that.
And you know how you want to show everybody every room in your house
except your bedroom?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because it's sacred.
It's your one thing.
It's like that's my sacred place.
Like, I don't want nobody.
I don't want all these things that I've went through to even, you know,
connect with that because I feel like, you know,
I don't want that energy in my new life.
I feel like I'm writing something to stop that chapter.
And if you peek while I stop the chapter, and if you watch how I live my life,
and people are like, why'd you stop on verses?
I said, because that's when I made a decision.
That was the decision, evolve or die.
So, bam, stop right there, and I'm going to evolve.
Y'all deal with that.
That's on y'all to figure.
I ain't got to never do another record in my life.
You know, to a lot of people, verses was was just music but it was so much behind that culturally and and and one of us had to make a
decision because if it would have went the way everybody wanted to go or thought it was gonna go
um then we would be in the same place and there's not any place safe place for somebody to say hey
bro i don't really get along with what you're talking about,
but we got to figure this out, which is the conflict resolution, right?
Because when I look at Young Thug and Lucci, they hurt my heart, bro.
And my thing is when I see these guys sitting in jail and prison
and all their people was out here starving
and the people they was taking care of and employing and all that,
it's a wrap wrap but for what
you know what i'm saying like because we can't sit down so that's what verses was about to me
and i'm gonna keep it a thousand i ain't need to do no verses you know what i'm saying like but
for the culture i owe i owe them that i'm the one that was telling them to go out here and do what
they had to do so how i'm gonna go make another move and do what I got to do
and not tell y'all, hey, look, bro, I'm going to make this decision for all of us.
And it might be unfavorable.
Everybody might not get it, but you will before it's over with.
And I love how you broke down where you were at in that moment when the truth played.
Yeah.
It was like you was like, stay scrapped because it came.
Oh, no, it was there.
It was right there. Ace was queued up. Ace was ready've came. Oh no, it was there. It was right there.
Ace was queued up.
Ace was ready to go.
He could've set it off.
That's right.
In my mind,
I just said what I had to say
because it didn't affect me then,
it's not gonna affect me now,
and we already done
been through about 15 years of this.
So I'm moving on, bro.
You know,
and that's in front of the world,
right? In front of the world, right?
In front of everybody that respects me and might not respect me tomorrow,
but they ain't got shit to do with my kids, my life, my legacy, none of that.
And that's why I stopped the book there because I'm going on to live my new life.
And if y'all want Jeezy, he back there.
Now, if you want Jay Jeezy Jenkins, he's at the Breakfast Club.
You feel me?

No, I didn't set him up.
I just let them have their conversation.
He told me that he got his number and my dad kept asking me questions about her.

Can we congratulate Cardi on her single?
She got a single that's out today.
Can we congratulate her?
Bungles.
Bungles featuring Megan Thee Stallion.
Love it.
What inspired Bungles?
Well, always the beat.
You know what I'm saying?
At first, it's always like you hear the beat, and it's like, oh, I like this beat.
Like, I really like this beat.
It's funk, but it kind of reminds me of Dembow.
Definitely Dembow.
It reminds me of Dembow, but it's really funk.
Like, technically, it's funk.
So.
What is Dembow?
You know, the Dominican.
Uptown.
Dominican music.
Oh, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
Like, you know.
I'll take you where I want.
You, you be outside. You be outside here. Not no more take you where I want. You be outside.
You be outside here.
Not no more.
You don't be outside.
Come on.
You don't be outside.
I'll be in the house.
I got to take you outside.
But that's a style of music.
Yeah, it's a style of music.
It's a Dominican style of music.
But like technically really is funk.
But I just love the beat.
I start working on the song.
But there's like a lot of empty spaces there's a lot of empty spaces i try to fill the empty spaces like you know like just me rapping and rapping and rapping and rapping and it just felt like a
long ass song like it just needed dynamic so me and my team like my team wanted to go like more
like latin artists and i was like i i hear megan yeah i hear megan i hear megan on it they're like really
you don't see like you see this like like more latin i'm like right no i see megan and then like
exactly what i was like hearing in my head i sent her the song uh exactly what i was envisioning in
my head like when she like when she i got her like burst back it was like you see this is what i was
envisioning and it just made sense were you scared were you scared to team up with megan again because wop was such a massive record
oh yeah of course of course like that's why i haven't like i definitely but i feel like this
was like good and um like when she sent the the the her verse i was like oh i feel like this is a
super like i feel like this is a good like like, I feel like this is a good, like, rap contender.
You feel like too much pressure.
Everybody asking you to do your second album.
You put out these verses and you're killing these verses.
You're lighting these verses up.
But everybody keeps saying, I love it, but where's the album?
I love it, but where's the album?
Don't you put too much pressure on yourself?
I do put a lot of pressure on myself.
Like, I really, really do.
Like, let me tell you something.
Like, I just feel like I don't like nothing i hear i feel like i listen like 40 beats
is it because everything sound the same i don't know because everything sound the same
or every like it's like sometimes everything sound the same and then like when it's too
different it's like i just too different for me like that is just too different so i don't know
what i'll be looking for what i'll be looking for i don't know what it be looking for. I don't know what it is. But once something
catch my eye, and I really
when I'm my eyes, my sound, my ears.
Right. But even like
I like it like that. They said you didn't love it, love it.
And that became one of the biggest records ever.
Yeah. I mean, I do take risks.
I do take risks.
I don't know. It's just a lot of pressure on the bitch.
But I feel confident.
I have a lot of songs.
Y'all can come by anytime. Y' that could hear something because and that's another thing
too like i'm a libra i i be feeling like i need like everybody like a penny like what you think
what you think what you think and that can be driving me crazy too but like i don't know why
i've been i've been needing it though so is it fun is it still fun when i find like something
that i like when it's something that i like it it's fun. But then sometimes, even when I like something and people don't like it, it doesn't become fun.
It's like, damn, I was really vibing with this and it's like, yeah, I don't like it now.
Now it's not fun.
Now I'm mad.
But people don't like every, it's like they're going to find something wrong with whatever.
So it don't matter.
But it just got to make sense to you.
Let me ask you this.
Is it pressure because it's so many more women now, like dropping hair all the time?
Like, but is that pressure?
It being so many women in rap?
No, not really.
I'm so used to like working with like a lot of women.
Like I never like been like in an environment that's like, yeah, I'm kind of like the only one.
So and now I always knew this.
I always knew this. I always knew this.
I always knew that after me, there was going to be more girls.
Yeah.
I know it wasn't going to just end with me.
Because it's like, if I made it, I know there's going to be more that's going to make it.
And like the internet and everything.
Like, it's like, I already saw this.
Like, I saw this, like, back in, in, I don't know, 2017.
I saw this.
But you're also doing something that a lot of people didn't do
when you were coming up.
You'll find the hot new person or a young artist,
and you'll give them the opportunity and give them a verse,
which a lot of people didn't do.
That was something that Jay and Drake did great.
I think I say Cardi did that for female rock.
Yeah, absolutely.
I was going to ask, does the competition fuel you?
And it can be friendly competition.
I mean, every time you get on a verse, you get on a record with somebody.
Is that the way you think?
Like, oh, I got to eat her.
You know what I mean?
Oh, God.
I don't I don't I don't really feel like I got to eat.
I don't really feel like I got to eat.
Like, all right.
Like, for example, right.
Like, it's like if I have a song.
Right.
And then you send me your verse and you wrap your your ass off i'm still not changing my verse i'm not
changing it because i feel like they're like this this is what i'm going for this is what i'm
thinking however i don't want to like also never like ruin nobody else like song or anything but
people do it all the time we've heard you know i think nah i said he changed the verse when he got
a verse back and you hear it all the time.
So you never said,
nah, I got it.
Which one's your favorite?
What's playing with you?
Who's been your favorite female rapper
to collaborate with?
I really like them all.
I really, I really,
I really like them all.
And every song that I like,
I got like on,
like I got on it
because I just really,
really, really,
really like that song.
Like I love the song
and it's like,
I feel like I could hear myself on it.
There's a lot of, there's a lot of there's a lot of songs like i get songs sent to me all the time but i feel like it's like some
songs i just feel like i feel like i can't do nothing for the song like it's like i don't feel
like i could do like a verse that like i'm like confident in so it's just like and i just be like
no and it's like i feel like the song is great great. So I don't even want to like ruin it.
You just said drill ain't your style.
What's that?
And what's that one song?
And I told you.
Oh my God.
That song is so crazy.
I heard that song is so crazy.
I was like, and that's my, that's my style.
That's my tempo.
Cause some tempos, like I just cannot keep up.
Like, it's like, you know, like when I first heard Munch and everything.
Yeah. I love the song. first heard Munch and everything? Yeah.
I love the song.
I love the beat and everything.
Then I was going to, I was doing the remix and everything.
They said you did a verse, right?
Yeah, I did a verse.
But it's like, I felt like I was fighting the beat.
Like, I can't breathe.
I'm well-mended.
The beat just was thin.
I was like, listen, I don't want to f*** the song.
Yeah, because you got to eat on Munch. Like, I got to eat. You got to eat on Munch. He's like, Kyle, like, listen, I don't want to the song. Yeah, because you got to eat on much.
Like, I got to eat.
You got to eat on much.
Like, Kyle, like, yo, relax.
I get it.
I get it.
But like, I was windmilling.
And it's like, if I can't keep up with something,
like, it's like, I'm not going to play myself.
And I don't want to, like, ruin it.
Like, you know, like, when somebody get on a song
and it's like, you really the song off.
Get that out of here now.
Right.
I like how you up tomorrow. Tomorrow. Yeah. Oh, oh yeah i love it it was crazy and i love loretta
she remind me of my best friend like yeah i love her yeah i love her all right we got more with
cardi b when we come back don't move it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody
it's dj envy charlamagne the guy jess hilarious we are the breakfast club we're still kicking it
with cardi b charlamagne do you think that Jess Hilarious. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Cardi B.
Charlamagne.
Do you think the label makes you do records that you may not necessarily want to do?
Nobody can make me do shit.
People can give me recommendations and everything, but it's like nobody can make me do anything.
I will try something.
I will try something.
And when I say I will try something, it's like when they want me to, like, to, like, you know, be a little bit more, like, you know, like, more feminine or more, like, I don't know, like, mainstream type of stuff.
Because, like, that's just not really be my vibe like that.
But, like, nobody can make me do shit.
I was going to ask, you know, you mentioned when you were working in the strip club, do people look at you as the old Cardi all the time?
Because you got so many friends and you were so many people before the huge rap success.
Sometimes you got to check
somebody and be like look i'm not that old from back then i'm not that same person i feel like i
feel like like like the people that know me know that i haven't really changed like like i feel
like i could call my friends right now they're like girl bye i feel like i haven't like really
changed like that way but i feel like to the world i feel like to the world like i wonder if people have seen
that change i feel like i changed i'm like more like chill now like i could like back then i could
be all day cussing everybody out but it's like i just have like backed away more and i got kids
and i'm 30 like yeah i'm 30 like by five o'clock i need a little nap that's one thing that's one
thing i say that it looks like you love it's's like, you know, you see so many people with their kids, right?
But you are like a mom's mom, right?
Because I guess that you just have to, you, listen, you can have a village in your house, right?
Like, I have all the Dominicans in my house.
I got them all.
But it's like, your kids be wanting you.
They want you.
They don't want your aunt to take them to school.
They don't want nothing.
They want mom and dad to take them to school. They want, like, they want They don't want your aunt To take them to school They don't want nothing They want mom and dad
To take them to school
They want like
They want to chill with mom and dad
They want to play with mom and dad
So it's just like
You have to do it yourself
And then like
You just have to do it
You gotta get used to a rhythm
Like it's like
My family
A lot of them live with me
But they love to be outside
So when they do vacation
And everything
And it's like
I'm by myself with the kids
And it's like
Damn I don't really know Like what they gonna want to eat And everything So I gotta I gotta get used and everything And it's like I'm by myself with the kids And it's like Damn I don't really know
Like what they gonna wanna eat and everything
So I gotta get used to that
And I really just naturally like it
Like I like this
If I could just do this
All forever I would
But I gotta work
You think that's the biggest change
That has happened in your life
Over the last five years
The kids?
Hell yeah
Okay
Hell yeah
Just motherhood period
yeah cuz it's like I be feeling like like I got a lot to lose before that
I'm diving in I lose it all but I'm gonna curse you out
how is it how is it being a boss with everybody but then when your kids they
boss you around I seen some video and your kids was talking to you crazy there's
nothing you can do when your kids talk to you crazy you just gotta take it
I know you believe in pop pop and kids huh oh no you believe in physical discipline
for your kids light though like real light like you know what i'm saying but like not like gentle
parenting sometimes gentle parenting i mean i mean it depends because i feel like like i feel like
i'm a gentle parent but then there's that you know the helmin's gentle parent and they like they
overboard like yeah i just believe they're like you don't have to be like uh abusive or anything
but it's like you you gotta like be assertive because like like not everybody kid is like
everybody kid like like my son bad as i got. I got proof. He bad. I got proof.
I got proof he bad.
How old is he?
He just turned two.
Yeah,
he don't know no better.
What?
I show you videos.
He bad as hell.
He bad.
Even all of a sudden,
be like,
damn,
all my kids.
Yeah.
And I knew it too.
That's why I was scared
to have a boy
because I was like,
I knew it too.
I knew it too.
It could be terrible
twos though.
Yeah.
He was one.
He just turned two.
How you bad at one? So what do you do to discipline him? Like, what is he afraid of? He's notos, though. Yeah. He was one. He just turned two. How you bad at one?
So what do you do to discipline him?
Like, what is he afraid of?
He's not afraid of nothing.
Damn.
That's the problem.
Nothing you can take from him or take his tablet or something?
Nothing?
No, he don't care about nothing.
Like, even if you take it, it's like, all right, don't mess with today then.
Damn.
Why do you let the comments get to you so much, Barty?
Just on social media and just, like, everything.
I don't know, because it's like,
I know you're not f***ing talking.
That's the thing.
The s*** that get me mad is that, like,
because it's like, why are you talking, though?
Like, what are you, why are you talking?
Yeah.
Why are you talking?
Like, it's like, when I was, like, in, like,
in school or everything, like, I used to cut ass.
Like, I used to be, like, really.
Nah, nah, nah, nah, like, cut ass.
Like, I used to, like, really roast. Roast. Like, it's like really... Nah, nah, nah, nah. I used to really roast.
Roast.
It's not even like roasting.
It was like I could go toe-to-toe with dudes and stuff.
It was just things.
So it's like me, I'm the type of person that I could take one look at you.
And it's like I got like 10 jokes lined up.
So it's just like when people mess with me, it's like, yo, I could really, really mess with...
You want to mess my day up?
I will mess your whole three weeks up.
I will stay embedded in your head.
So it's just like, but it's like the fact that I have to restrain myself.
It frustrates me.
It really frustrates me.
So when you put out projects, right, when you put out music, do you go through the comments to see what people are saying?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because sometimes, well, you got to also know what people like, though.
But they're never going to give you a real critique, though.
Because they're just mad that you bawdy and you're super successful.
How many people are going to really be like, oh, I f***ed with this record?
How many people are going to really give it up on social media?
You know what?
I be feeling like a lot of people hate to admit that they like me.
Like, a lot of people are afraid to say that they like me Because When people say That they like me They get attacked
Yeah
They be getting attacked
When they say
That they like me
Or they like
They take my side
Or anything
So I have to accept that
That like
People like me
And there's even people
That like
I seen common
Nasty shit about me
And like
Some of my friends
Have pressed them about them
Like
Like when they say
Like why
Why you be going so hard
On my girl

The she version.

That's all.
Yeah.
I just don't want that

You know what I mean?
Or your mental.
I feel like I'm already
like getting over that hurdle.
Like as long as people
don't lie on me,
like it's okay.
Yeah.
But I do notice too
because I saw,
like I seen people admitting.
I seen,

out there oh that mercy now do you regret throwing that microphone at that young lady it was really
like a quick reaction it was really like and let me tell you i didn't want to address it because
i thought we're going to jail but i'm not i didn't really not because people was making their own
like let me tell you something right it was higher than month. So there was a part of the show that I told people, like, you know, splash me.
But even when I told them splash me, I was like, man, be careful with the faces.
The faces beep.
So four songs after, nobody had splashed me.
I told y'all to splash me for one little second.
Four songs after, which is like, I don't know, 15, 20 minutes after,
this bitch threw water and ice on my face.
So, like, I just automatically reacted.
I didn't even know that I was throwing it.
I just threw the shit because it's like,
you hit me right in my face.
And when I look at the video, it's like,
nah, you intended to throw that shit in my face
because you ain't did it like this.
You threw it hot.
You threw it hot.
Like, and the hot ice.
And everybody's like, oh, but,
no, you throw some ice in your face,
and you're going to tell me how the fuck you feel, because I felt very violated.
Yeah.
Did you forget you had told people to splash you?
No, but it was in a segment, though.
It was in one segment.
Like, girl, you did that shit like 20 minutes later.
And not only that, you threw me ice.
If it wasn't ice in it, it would have went different.
It probably wouldn't even be different, it would have went different. It would have been different.
It probably wouldn't even be different because you splashed me in my face.
Like, you know what you was doing?
How 10 people splashed me at the same time and nothing hit my face?
But you hit my face directly.
I bet you was a fan, though.
No, no.
You was trying to be funny, but I'm hilarious, though.
All right, well, don't move.

Be part of a great colonial tradition.
The Waikana tried my country.
My forefathers did that themselves.
What could go wrong?
No country willingly gives up their
territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my
God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt,
learning to trust herself,
and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities
for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.
It's okay.

Well, first of all, how was marriage?
I love marriage.
Is it difficult because, you know, he's a celebrity and you're a celebrity,
and it's like when he defends you, it's bigger because he is a celebrity.
So if somebody says something and he defends you, it's bigger because it's set.
You know what I mean?
Does that bother you?
Does that take a toll on your marriage relationship?
You know what takes a toll on me?
What takes a toll on me?
A lot of people don't f***ing like me.

Beautiful moment.
Before that, we've seen a video of them arguing.
You was in the middle saying, y'all brothers, y'all brothers, I need to stop.
How difficult was that in the household trying to get them to understand that they're brothers?
How difficult was that for your household and for you?

who lives large in life and in the
bedroom, then live large
and now thinner with new Magnum Raw
condoms. The thinnest Magnum condom
available where condoms are sold.
It's a miracle.
There is no question
that there are problems in this country
between police and community.
Yes, you are a donkey.
The latest on that police killing of a black man.
Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage.
And yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did.
And so we are in a state of emergency.
Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society.
But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.
To the breakfast club, bitches!
Alright, Sean Dean, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day?
Yeah, his donkey of the day goes to Scott Adams.
Do y'all know who Scott Adams is?
No.
Not familiar.
Well, he's the creator of the syndicated comic script Dilbert.
Do y'all know Dilbert?
Yes, I remember Dilbert.
Okay.
Well, the Washington Post, LA Times, a bunch of newspapers around the country carry Dilbert. Well y'all know Dilbert? Yes, I remember Dilbert. Okay. Well, the Washington Post, LA Times, a bunch of newspapers around
the country carry Dilbert. Well, they did.
They don't anymore because Scott Adams
for whatever reason decided to post a video
online urging white people to get
the hell away from black people. Okay, I'm not
making any of this up. Let's go to CBS News for the report
please. Newspapers across the country
have pulled the long-running Dilbert
comic strip after a racist rant
from cartoonist Scott Adams.
In a video posted to YouTube this week,
Adams called black Americans members of a, quote,
hate group who are saying white people should stay away from them.
Adams has written Dilbert for three decades.
Would you like to hear the racist rant?
Yeah.
Yeah? All right.
Let's listen to it. Let's go.
This is the first political poll that ever changed my activities.
I don't know that that's ever happened before.
But as of today, I'm going to re-identify as white
because I don't want to be a member of a hate group.
I'd accidentally joined a hate group.
So if nearly half of all blacks are not okay with white people,
according to this poll, not according to me,
according to this poll, that's to me, according to this poll,
that's a hate group. That's a hate group. And I don't want to have anything to do with them.
And I would say, you know, based on the current way things are going, the best advice I would
give to white people is to get the hell away from black people. Just get the f*** away.
Wherever you have to go, get away because there's no
fixing this this can't be fixed well it can be fixed and damn i buried the lead scott was
transracial i forgot to tell you transracial transracial he said he identifies as black
i'm re-identifying his book too yeah he's what do you identify as now because what did he identify he said he said he
identifies as white let me hear him so i realized um as you know i've been identifying as black
for a while okay years now because i like you know i like to be on the winning team
and i like to help and i i always thought well if you help the black community okay that's sort of
the biggest lever you know you could you can find the biggest benefit.
So I thought, well, that's the hardest thing and the biggest benefit.
So I'd like to focus a lot of my life resources in helping black Americans.
So much so that I started identifying as black
to just be on the team I was helping.
But it turns out that nearly half of that team
doesn't think I'm okay to be white.
So you can identify for whatever you want?
That's what I'm saying.
You just realizing this?
You're late.
I'm going to try that.
When I get pulled over next time,
I'm going to be like,
actually, I'm white.
I mean, this is obviously an old crazy man.
Like, he's old and senile, so I really don't...
I'm not even taking it seriously at all.
I think we should take it serious.
The only reason I think we should take it serious is
when I hear white people like Scott Adams talk like this, it makes me
feel like he has no concept of history
whatsoever, like no knowledge of
white racial supremacy and
colonization because, Scott, I don't know
if you know, but black people have way more
reasons to fear white people than white people have to fear us okay the only thing white people could possibly
be afraid of in regards to black people is black people one day having the type of power and
privilege they have and doing to them what they have done to countless marginalized groups for
centuries so you know Scott Adams isn't just calling for segregation he's calling for separation
yeah the honorable Elijah Muhammad muhammad would agree
okay but once again and this is just historic fact white people have caused more hell on this
planet for everybody than anybody and you can't hear what you don't reveal so this newfound
playing the victim this white grievance thing that's happening is nuts to me okay black grief
should not lead the white grievance because we have every single reason to grieve.
Now, can we also talk about self-destruction and self-sabotage?
Because we're not talking about that in this situation.
Dilwood was published daily in 2000 newspapers in 65 countries in 25 languages.
And now it's been canceled by hundreds of newspapers because Scott Adams woke up and said, you know what I'm going to do today?
I'm going to just go on a racist tirade against black people.
I'm going to go DEFCON 3 on black people for no reason.
All right?
Called black people a hate group.
Why?
Yeah.
Why?
Because we hated slavery?
Because we hate the fact that there has been no atonement for slavery?
Because we hate systemic racism? Why wouldn't a black person hate the fact that from birth to death,
we face systemic disadvantages?
Okay?
Inequality between blacks and whites persists in every single aspect of society.
OK, it's wealth, poor health and shorter lifespans. And we're not supposed to hate that.
Now, I can't speak for all black people. OK, no black person can.
But personally, I don't hate white people, but I do hate white supremacy.
And I really hate white grievance, especially when the white grievance paints black people as the problem.
What's that African proverb? Until the lion learns how to write every story will glorify
the dilbert that's how it goes there's something to that there's something to that i mean scott
you called black people a hate group but think about all these wide gaps i just mentioned they
exist because of slavery segregation and discrimination i haven't even mentioned
things like the war on drugs police brutality i mean come on bro hate and racial injustice
does not make black people a hate group.
But Scott, you know this.
You're just racist.
Simple and plain.
Okay, you are white supremacist.
And white separatism is a concept every neo-Nazi white nationalist talks about all the time.
So knock it off.
Knock it off before we send Dr. Umar on you.
A thousand lashes.
A thousand?
A thousand?
Exactly.
Is this a thousand? Ten thousand. Ten. Okay. Because he on the way. He coming for you. A thousand lashes. A thousand? A thousand? Exactly. Is this a thousand? Ten thousand.
Ten. Okay. Because he on the way.
He coming for you.
Please give Scott Adams
the big, well matter of fact, let Chelsea Handler give Scott Adams
the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw!
Hee-haw! That is way too much

Not the butters.
The Breakfast Club.
We were sitting at a show, and I was telling him, like, man,
I don't know if I should do it because it just ain't going to be right.
And I feel like I'm scared it's going to put me back in that moment.
And he was like, nah, you got to do that for the world and for him.
Like, y'all Lacey, man, y'all were the biggest group ever in hip-hop.
And also, like, he would want that, bro.
He was like, you need that energy.
You and your brother rocking that stage again.
Even if it's for the last time or whatever.
And this is Zach where he's like, even if it's for the last time or whatever,
he don't really know what's going on.
But it's going to be a cleanser for both of y'all.
And it was. Yeah, it don't really know what was going on, but it's going to be a cleanser to both of y'all. Was it?
Yeah, it was.
I swear it was.
It was,
it was,
it felt like at first
before I did it,
I was still like,
because it reminds,
you know,
it's a reminder.
But after we did it,
I just felt,
I did feel good about it,
like,
close the chapter
on the right way,
like,
on a big way.
Unity,
love,
and like,
giving to the people also.
What was it like before that because i know
everybody talks about i guess y'all got into something backstage somewhere it was a video
where everybody heard cardi yelling like y'all both wrong so what was what was it like before
that moment oh before what before before y'all got on stage like oh no we we were together man
like that's hard pill to swallow like your bro missing all that out the window you know i'm
saying it's like family love everything let's do this right more than anything because when you go
into something with the wrong energy you ain't gonna do it right you know i'm saying when it's
with the right energy and that's my brother so what's your relationship now with quavo that's
my brother at the end of the day we good bro we just with each other in paris we be talking because
we be going through little emotions and it don't be for the public. That's the thing.
When it's like this,
it don't be everything
and for the public
to be kiki-ing
and it's all love.
At the end of the day,
we lost a brother.
You know they want to see
y'all cry on Instagram.
That's what they want.
Not going to get it from me.
You think y'all
ever make music together?
Not even just as Migos
but just as Set and Quavo?
I think so.
I think a lot of fans
were hoping that there was
maybe lost takeoff verses or lost Migos records
and that they would get that one more Migos album.
But that doesn't seem like that's going to happen.
Nah, it ain't fair to put that pressure on us either.
After losing brother, man.
Maybe.
You know what I'm saying?
In the future.
Right now, I just don't see it.
It's like hard for me hearing our songs sometimes.
In the club, bro.
And people might have got a smile on my face. but that s*** like, take verse, come on.
Like, touch me every single time.
So it's like, I don't see us doing that.
Now, I can imagine, because to us it's just a verse, but to you, it's like, you probably think about the moment y'all recorded.
The moment we made the song.
The day.
Yeah.
It put me in that bed every time.
I was just in Starlet the other night.
And they playing Freak No More.
And his verse, come on.
I'm like, throwing money.
His verse, come on. It like throwing money his verse come on
it's just like
slowed me up real quick
so
now what's the difference
between this album
Set It Off
and Father of Four
okay Father of Four
was like
I feel like I was getting
more personal
about who I was
my story of going to jail
having kids young
the story of my wife
my letter to my wife
I'm just in a
but this album
is more like
the music wise
it's like more fun
I'm
I didn't
I did all the new producers
so I didn't really
except for Metro and Southside
I didn't really work
all the producers
I worked with on this
it's like new producers
I never worked with
because I didn't want to
create the same sound
because I feel like
artists now like
as an artist
sometimes like
you just get stuck
in your ways
and I let a lot of
I worked with A&R this time like I let a lot of I worked with an artist time
Like I know a lot of people and I game but the G my and I was fire
So she was able to bring me different producers that I never heard of and different sounds and give me
Critiquing me on the music like nah number one sign to make the make sound like number 10
I was happy because like usually I ain't going for that, you know
I ain't nobody to me nothing but I, I ain't letting nobody tell me nothing.
But I understand, like, change the game, change.
The sound be changing.
And you just got to change with it or you're going to get left.
Is it difficult with you doing music, right, because you are a husband, your father of five,
but yet you're still in the club, so you know what people want to hear. You know people in the club ain't married.
You know the people in the club might not have some kids.
So when you do your music, do you say do you say well i gotta put myself in their situation and take myself out from the husband and
take myself out being the father five because you didn't on this album you knocked off a lot of a
lot of chicks on this album all these women all set and you're married man that's what uh because
i got a real wife like that she understands like we in I gotta be relatable and especially
like I age like the average person ain't married and like people sometimes people
I could see it like you let your wife dress like this and you like I'm very
secure by my husband so we ain't no controlling like don't do this or I'm
not telling her don't do a feature with that at that time because it's just like
this this this they'll interrupt the love I feel like when you go to doing
that cuz then it's like damn I want to interrupt the love, I feel like, when you go to doing that,
because then it's like,
damn,
I want to be this person,
I got to talk to all these people,
all these fans,
and they got to relate to me,
but they can't relate to me
if I'm standing in one lane,
so I'm just blessed
to have a good wife.
What about the people who,
those same kids
that love your personal life,
they love you and Cardi
together as a couple,
and they follow y'all
on social media
and see all of that,
and they like,
damn, they might want to hear that reflected in the music, because I know people got really excited when they heard y'all on social media and see all of that and they like damn they might want to hear that reflected in the music because i know people got really excited
when they heard y'all doing an album together yeah um or ep or whatever it was they don't they
can't get mad at me because i'm not gonna tell her like you can't say shaking your ass or like
you're having a good time girls want to feel that them bars she be saying but i guess you know too
when carly talks about that i guess we all automatically assume when she says she's shaking ass is shaking her ass for her husband you know
what i mean it's like she's doing it for set but you know i mean for you when i heard i'm not gonna
like oh he's putting his mind frame on somebody that's in the club not himself yeah i got to bro
because it's like it's more of bros doing that than there's people that's married facts these
are facts these are facts.
These are facts, so I just still got to be relatable to them.
They got to still feel like, oh, shit, I ain't on no old.
Like, shit, I got married.
We don't even understand them all.
Then it's the worst.
Then there's no coming back from that.
All right, we got more with Offset when we come back.
Don't move.

herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.
And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.
This increment of small, determined moments.
Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love.
I forgive myself.

Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy,
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We're still kicking it
with Offset.
His album is out this Friday. Charlamagne? First song on the album Club We're still kicking it With Offset His album is out
This Friday
Charlamagne
First song on the album
You said you knew
You were the one
Since you left the group
I think that was
The other line
What does that line
Mean to you?
So how do you know
About that?
We heard the album
Oh y'all need to tell me
What the album
Hit it for first
You never heard the album
They say what the album
Hit it for
Yeah yeah
So that's just like
A confidence bar
Like you know I went through some things I can't really speak on.
Like, I stepped out of the box and, like, had to get my s*** together on the business side of things.
And, like, after that, the freedom and the being able to be in control of my creative and being able to do that was like, now I can show you who I am.
If you notice, like, now people kind of see, like, I got a personality.
I felt like that was kind of, like, bottled in when everything was all this one.
Because it wasn't really about me.
It was about us.
This album is about me.
How important was hip-hop growing up to you?
Because I know you got roots in New York.
I know you got roots in the land.
I know you got roots a little bit everywhere.
I'd be sitting set with people.
I'd be like, how do you know him?
So, you know, talk about your roots and what hip-hop means to you.
Because you sample a lot of that on this album.
Hip-hop, man, meaning me, like, man,
growing up is like the superheroes, you know what I'm saying,
to me, because I felt like it was so out of reach.
And also, I felt like they was, like,
saving the world with the music and, like,
you know, seeing, like, Cash Money, Master P,
because I'm from the South,
Andre Tha, like, Outkast.
You know, we from Atlanta, so we might not even listen to it
i might not get on jay-z towers in high school you know what i'm saying i might not know him
through middle school i knew guap i knew gucci and i knew jay-z i knew under 2000 i knew future
it's like our neighborhood heroes and like me i feel like in general with music you gotta know
your roots and pay respect to it too like i watched the james browns i'd be watching like
how they would dress or how they stay so it would be or sometimes I go watch a
rock-and-roll I'm only cool some I go watch them stay stay said to get a like
a like a like an idea even on stage and like cuz I feel like you it always
rotate but you could just do it better in a better way well one of the things
you say throughout the album is you keep referencing blame it on set that's a
dope record too by the way to blame it on set record what are some of the things you think folks blame you for no
it's not like people blame me for it's like it's like a it's like me talking to myself almost like
everything you went through is because of you it's like taking responsibility everything you
went through is because of you like anytime anything happens it's it's on you that's all
it was it wasn't like a specific like
y'all blaming me no it was just like taking time being a man being a man
yeah accountability like accountability for all actions people were mad at you a
couple of weeks ago because you did that interview uh what's her name Bobby they
weren't mad at me I feel like they was oh that smoke dead in you even gave her
an opportunity to interview you.
You know what I mean?
You know, people were saying,
well, why would you give that girl an opportunity
and not somebody from the culture?
Reached out, I did my research,
and I was like, I'm open to do it,
because, you know, I don't like doing interviews at all.
I was like, I'm open to doing an album on the way.
And I felt like it was kind of comical.
It was kind of funny.
It was kind of funny to me.
It wasn't like I wasn't taking that shit
Offensive you gotta be on your toes when you're doing it. No she needed to be on her toes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, she needed it. She needed it. You know what I'm saying?
And also like I'm doing this for the brothers
You ain't gonna catch me slipping on this show and be down on top of me and you like you just coming up off the top
It's all love though, but she's she's she cool man. I don't know I felt like
A lot of people did take a lot of comedy out of it. It's all love, though. But she cool, man. I don't know. I feel like a lot of people
did take a lot of comedy out of it.
It was supposed to be funny, man.
You told us you needed some seasoning.
Yeah, she do.
Oh, absolutely.
A little bit of seasoning.
But it's cool, though, man.
Ain't no issues or nothing.
But I feel like a lot of people
was mad at her.
But that's how she do the interviews.
I think I brought it to our world more.
Because a lot of people are like,
why does she?
It was kind of taking it as she was being disrespectful. She wasn't. I think that's the to our world more. It's like a lot of people are like, why does she? It was kind of taking it as like she was being disrespectful.
She wasn't.
She just, I think that's the way she got on.
You know, I hear you channel a lot in this album.
I hear a lot of Project Pat.
Yeah.
Were you listening to a lot of Pat?
3 6 and Project Pat.
Yeah, man.
That's what I'm saying.
It's like the underground music.
And to come to, and then they went underground and went big.
Shout out to Juicy J, man.
He a player.
Good producer.
He ain't taxed me on the records.
He didn't tax you.
Oh, he did production on it.
Nah, you get certain shit, you got to talk to Juicy J about it.
He ain't do production.
He's a searcher.
You got to highlight Juicy J.
Oh, so when you just using that.
But you got to think the sample on Jealousy is Juicy J.
Yes, absolutely.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
So, and then it's the South music, man.
There's just always something about the South music to me, even growing up.
Just always felt like we was the shit because it was relatable to my neighborhood.
You're from down there, man.
Absolutely.
Now, we had Cardi up here, and we were talking about your marriage and everything.
And she was like, sometimes it's difficult not to keep things off social, right?
Like, the one time, y'all always argue on social media.
Y'all never just say, you know what, I'm going to put the phone down and call her she's crazy man you crazy too you know you
married a woman from the bronx the craziest people in america come from the bronx and all the florida
said you got to know that yeah i've learned it i learned it so it's just like man the hate fan
base man sometimes be like trying to like kill so then sometimes you gotta like i feel like. So then sometimes you got to, like, I feel like I got to protect her.
You know what I'm saying?
I've made mistakes.
You dig what I'm saying?
So those mistakes make me continue to have to protect her as a man.
It don't just go away.
So, like, I just hate that because it's, like, we be good, bro.
Living the life like it's golden.
We got beautiful kids.
We don't bother nobody.
But you know how it be.
Whack, dog.
But what about when you posted that your wife cheated?

Everybody know it was count.
She was like, man.

line and say you cheated yeah cuz that's the thing she gotta make her she got like

I'm done, done, done.
I got two in college right now.
College expensive.
College waxing that ass.
That's right. Pause. Let I was waxing that ass. That's right pause
I do want to ask what what I learned from takeoffs passing. Um
I'm still on it. Um, how are you know today?
The lesson is just pain. It ain't really you trying to run from this
Have you done anything to deal with that grief?
Have you sat down with somebody?
I be feeling like sitting down with people.
Maybe I ain't found the right person,
but I don't feel like sometimes people can't relate.
That's why culturally competent therapists
and psychiatrists and grief counselors are very important.
You got to have somebody from it to understand it.
I feel like sometimes in them job spaces, they not giving people who have maybe have a record or and those are the
people you need to have in the office because they're gonna they've been through they can
really relate to black people i like i feel like the therapy thing don't really be for black folks
a lot of times because every person i've ever seen it like they ain't they like to buy them
ask you a question back like so have you ever done it and if it ain't They like to I'm gonna ask you Your questions back So have you ever
Da da da da da
And if it ain't
It's a waste of time
Well we appreciate you
The album comes out
This Friday
Set it off
You wanna play it
I gotta ask you
What was your favorite song
That you feel like
I like Say My Grace
I like Worth It
Cause I just
I'm from that era
So I like you
Kinda catching the
Buster flow
Which was different for me
I like Blame It On Set.
I like the one where you had the Project Pat flow.
The first song on the album, Hard.
On the River.
Yeah, that's when you said I'm the one.
That's Hard.
I don't know.
I got to listen to it again.
I only got to listen to it one time.
Yeah, listen to it one time, too.
I wanted to bring rap, like rapping on the song, but I feel like it's a lot of auto-tune,
a lot of like...
I got melodies on it, of course, but like...
Your voice don't need it, though.
You got to get to the rapping.
But your voice so distinct. You don't need the auto-tune joint with travis uh that's what i said say my grace my grace oh okay all right all right yeah that's hard that's
why we got the video we shot that in thailand too i can't wait to see that in art what does success
look like for offset um the music connected to the people like i'm not you know how we came in
the game like i hate how everything is clocked now like the numbers first day because then that gives people opinions already immediately that
ain't even chatting to us so me i'm just trying to connect musically with these people like you
said identify offset sound like like i did on reflare that was like oh bro we got that like
it's it's proven like and showing my Like, you see my album cover falling from the sky upside down, but I'm still on top.
It's like being able to express the art.
It's not numbers for me because I come from, see, my number one record was number 60 and 40 and 20 and 10.
Then number one.
So I know, like, working a record, I feel like people don't be working records no more the festivals and in big places they taking your numbers they taking you
where your song that on billboard I learned that it like I think I learned
that 2016 I forgot who the artist was it was gone after us and I'm like I know
we had it in I know this like but the streaming numbers it was like a radio
show to me like what they on, well, they on Billboard.
They on top 15.
Y'all like number 40 right now.
And then it made me understand the significance point of it.
So it's some people that still watch.
And I just feel like artists ain't, rappers ain't putting on no show, bro.
Nah.
We just getting the bag.
And people tired of paying the bag like that.
Like, you got to put on a show.
You going to dance and everything.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't give a ****.
I think it's like not cool, cool. People like to be entertained more than. You going to dance and everything? Yeah, yeah. I don't give a ****. I think it's not cool
cool. People like to be entertained more than anything.
That's right.
What you want to hear off the aisle? What you want to play? Play that Worth It, man.

Now, Charlamagne is out, so we got our guest host with us.
We have Claudia Jordan. My wife Gia is here as
well. Now we're asking if you're
just joining us. 800-585-1051.
Yesterday after the show, the ladies
of The Breakfast Club were talking about shooting
their shots. And they were saying when they shoot their
shot with a man, they always
hit 100% from the line.
And they were saying that their relationships when they shoot
their shot last a little longer.
So we're asking ladies, have you ever shot your shot? And how did it turn out?
800 585 105 1 I want to ask you a question. Yes, ma'am
So they said that when they shoot their shot from the line, it usually goes in those are their longest relationships
So from a man's point of view, why do you think that is?
Is it because the man is flattered because he knows that the
woman is 100 in that she really wants to be there because she approached him because she went for
the gusto what do you think it is i think it's a little bit of everything i mean you still have to
look attractive like you just can't shoot your shot and you know you gotta you know okay so
you still have to look attractive you still have to be smart yes okay and i think it's i think it's
dope i think a lot of times i don't think necessarily uh women shoot their shots as much as men do so i think when
they do it's kind of intriguing okay makes you you know want to see well what is this about let's
have a conversation let's talk and then you know i think most men feel like if a woman's shooting
a shot she's probably horny and i could probably get it in a little faster maybe i don't know i
think we're also more efficient i think men cast a big net and just try to holler at anything
badass and we like we'll look at you first like okay i can see we're looking at your shoes your
nails like we're not looking at a man for a fat ass deliberate yeah we don't know we're deliberate
okay right so that's why we have a higher success rate okay you guys just like oh ass titties we're
like okay he looks stable okay he seems nice nice smile there's we look at things. So when's the last time you shot your shot at an individual?
So just straight up with someone I just met.
I don't really do it that often.
I will definitely give the cues where I give them the green light where they know it's okay.
So what are the cues?
What's the cleavage?
What's the cues?
Well, you know, you give a little flirty look, whatever, all that kind of stuff.
But I will say I did get turned down one time with someone that I dated and I tried to spin the block again.
Oh, so you tried to go back. Tell us about that. Now I'm interested. This
is super embarrassing. You got my attention. And I don't want to get embarrassed. So anyways,
this is a guy that I thought was the one. Okay. So we had broken up, but like not. Wait,
wait, wait. Why'd you break up? Um, so we were kind of young and he came into like a
big contract. And so like he got to have kind of go live his life a little bit and have
his little fun. And I understood that. Like I wish I would have met him like way before, you know.
Anyways, long story short, I always felt like he was like the one.
So we pleasantly broke up.
We just split.
But it wasn't bad.
So he was in town for an award show and they were hosting a party at this place.
So I knew he was going to be there.
So I packed an overnight bag.
Oh, so you was ready.
He was like, he's not going to turn me down.
Stop interrupting. I packed an overnight bag. Oh, so you was ready. He was like, he's not going to turn me down. Stop interrupting.
I packed an overnight bag, right?
And I'm like thinking, surely he's going to hang out with me afterwards.
Right.
Like, of course.
Why would he not?
Like, why would you not?
Oh, he had plans.
So anyways, at the end of the night, I was hovering, you know, like this.
Oh, no.
Whenever I thought maybe we would hang out.
And he goes, oh, I have plans.
I go, with somebody else?
He's like, yeah.
I was like, but I brought her overnight.
Jesus.
You didn't tell him that.
No, you didn't.
Claudia.
Jesus.
Claudia, tell me you didn't tell him that.
I said it with my eyes.
I said it with your eyes.
I said it with my eyes.
So anyways, I went in the car and I cried, right?
And I filmed.
I did one of those corny.
Well, I did the Tyrese thing. I filmed myself crying, right? And I filmed, I did one of those corny, well, I did the Tyrese thing.
I filmed myself crying, right?
To remind myself to never do,
not to post,
to remind myself
to never go out like that again.
And then I told my friends a story
and I told them,
but I brought an overnight bag.
To this day,
they would like put bags underneath
my comments sometimes.
Oh, my friends suck.
So yeah, I did get shot.
I did,
I lost the last of my shot.
So wait,
and he never called
you back after that
no we talked
but it wasn't
we never went there
it was awkward
she's not going back
there now
because for me
logically that doesn't
seem like a turndown
that seems like
oh maybe I would
but I have plans
but if he didn't
call afterwards
to say
hey you know
so you brought that
overnight bag
so you know
what's up
that's a turndown
that's what more so feels like the turndown you know what I'm brought that overnight bag. So, you know, what's up? That's a turndown.
That's what more so feels like.
You know what?
I'm canceling my plans.
Come on.
But since he didn't, that's second. We don't know what his plans are.
I'm trying to make her feel good.
I don't know.
I don't like to presume.
I never like to presume.
Once again, I came in second.
Let's go to the phone line.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, this is Destiny.
Hi, Destiny.
How are you guys?
We're wonderful.
I love you.
Pauly, I love you.
Of course, DJ Ava, I love you too.
You ain't got to say mine like that.
As long as I came in first, thank you.
She sure did.
See, once again, I'm stuck in it.
Now, when did you shoot your shot at somebody, Destiny?
Okay, the one time in life.
I never did this ever.
So I was in college, and it was like a comedy show,
kind of like a wild and out vibe.
They came to our college, and it was this guy.
He kept looking at me.
And I was telling my friends, like, oh, he's cute, girl.
And my friend Zoe, she said, oh, you're so bad.
Go over there and talk to him.
He thinks you're all that.
So I said, OK, I'm going to go talk to him.
And he literally laughed in my face.
And for the following hour, he talked about me in the comedy show.
Damn it, man.
So when you went up to him and spoke, what was it that you said before he laughed in your
face? I was just like, hi,
I see that we keep making eye contact.
My name is Destiny
and I just was
trying to see, you know, would you like to grab
some food from the cafeteria
later or something like that.
It was just something like lame, like,
hey, let me hang out.
And then he actually laughed? When he got off stage, he was just like like lame, like, hey, let me hang out. And then he actually left?
And then he actually, when he got off stage, he was just like, I'm married.
And he was like, my wife married me from Lanny.
And he was like, so I have a bad wife at home.
She married me from Lanny.
And this girl from college that lives in a little small town is trying to talk to me.
Oh, damn.
Jesus.
Destiny.
I want to know who the comedian was.
Some no-name guy from me. Oh, damn. Jesus. Destiny. I want to know who the comedian was. Um, some no-name guy
from Savannah.
No.
Savannah, Georgia.
Did you do the breath check
before you went over there?
Did you do like a
to make sure you was good money?
I was good.
Let me tell you.
I was good.
I was cute that day.
I'm a makeup artist.
Damn.
So my makeup was everything.
And he even said like,
oh, you're cute.
But my wife married me
from then. So I'm the kid. Damn it, man. That was his little thing. He kept saying, even said like, oh, you're cute, but my wife married me from the beginning.
I'm the kid.
Damn it, man.
That was his little thing.
He kept saying,
he's like,
I literally date a supermodel.
Damn.
Sorry, Destiny.
Well, we're 0 for 2 right now,
so as far as kicking it to guys,
right now, I'm against it.
But guys nowadays
think they're the bad bitch, though.
Wait, so, Rashawn,
let me ask you a question.
How do you feel
about that masculine energy
of a woman saying,
hey, can I take you out?
Not just I want to get to know you, but like, I want to take you on a date.
I don't mind.
You would like it?
I don't care.
I was thinking the same thing.
Like, do guys get turned off?
I am wondering about that.
In this new bad bitch era, I think that men are not as turned off by it.
I think that there's something psychological there.
No, because if I have it, then I don't feel any way about it.
But now if I don't have it.
No, no, let's take money.
No, no, no. It's not about money. It's just about
the intention of a woman saying,
hey, I want to take you out. Sure, where
we going? It turns me off.
You're not a man. No, no, no. The idea of it
completely turns me off.
No. I feel as though if I'm into
a guy and I'm in his
space, if he is attracted to me, if he's
interested, he is going to
kick it.
If he is not, I am not going to push the envelope and put myself on a platter for rejection.
And I'm further not going to take on like a more masculine energy and say, hey, can
I take you out to dinner?
But I believe in traditional roles.
I like to be courted.
Those are things that are important to me.
Oh, please stay married because they're not courting these days.
They are not courting.
They're calling late.
They're leaving me at 1 o'clock in the morning
at the hotel room. But now, here's
the thing. Do you feed into that
energy by becoming
the masculine energy in the relationship
because that's what their expectation is?
No, because I'm with you. I'm still holding out.
I want that masculine energy.
Do you know what I mean?
If I'm masculine towards you,
it makes me kind of be a little disrespectful to you.
Absolutely.
If you allow me to be like that,
I'm going to probably treat you the way
you probably intended on treating me.
Exactly.
No, but you should.
I think that there's nothing wrong
with taking a man out.
There's nothing wrong with saying,
hey, babe, I got tickets to the game today.
I'm taking you to the game. No, I'm not talking about... What's wrong with taking me to S. There's nothing wrong with saying, hey, babe, I got tickets to the game today. I'm taking you to the game.
No, no, no.
I'm not talking about if you're...
What's wrong with taking me to Sizzler?
No, you're misunderstanding me.
I'm not talking about if you're already in a relationship.
If you're already in a relationship, I love the push-pull, the back and forth where, you know, you do something kind for me.
I reciprocate and I do something kind for you.
Not in a tit-for-tat way. But in the beginning, I as the woman, I need to feel that that interest is there.
I'm not going to be, you know, buying you gifts.
I'm not going to be taking you out to dinner.
Not to say if I'm out and I see something cute for you.
Yes, if it comes from the heart.
But I'm not going to be doing that to get you to like me.
That's why a lot of women are single right there.
They see something they want.
They see something they like.
They better go see what's going on with that thing that they like or see.
Because they're not going to see it again.
Women, if you see something you like, you go approach that man.
Hey, how you doing?
My name is so-and-so.
What's your name?
I think you're handsome.
Why don't we go out and get something?
There's nothing wrong with that.
But if he thought that you were cute, he would have kicked it too.
He might be shy.
Well, then that's not that masculine energy that I'm looking for. You don't want a fly man either, though.
Exactly. That's not that masculine energy.
If I'm in your space and you see me,
you notice me, and I throw you a little flirt
like Claudia said that she does.
Listen, here's the alley-oop.
All you need to do is dunk. I'm here.
If you don't kick it to me, you don't
look in my direction, I'm like, oh, he must
not be interested. Not every man can dunk.
You might be too short. I do think when you do get with a guy like that,
you can put it out there, but I feel like
it kind of sets a precedence for the relationship.
I'm thinking down the line,
do I have to get on one knee to propose to you?
Do I have to protect you?
Ladies, don't listen to me.
Claudia is single.
Claudia, you see a man out there, you better holler.
You on a plane and you see a cute guy
This isn't about
No
Listen the world is
Let me tell you something
The world is
I got three more years
The world is tripping on Claudia
Okay
Because
Claudia got everything

The universe is messing with her
It's a test Claudia

My mom There's a lady in Italy
that they said supposedly said,
like she, ah, my dad
left this one lady for my mom and took her
to America and she was like, basically before
he left, like, your unborn
daughter will forever have issues.
Jesus Christ. Yeah, so anyways,
I'm only dating if I get a recommendation from
a good friend or people that are in successful
relationships. I don't trust my own meter and picker I don't I should have more time to talk
about that all right well go ahead don't move it's the breakfast club on BET the breakfast club
