So they were there talking about what they're going to be doing for small businesses. Okay.

What about you? Did you talk to her? No, it was the mayor. It was a whole bunch of people from the White House plus our mayor, plus people from Restoration just kind of talking about the different initiatives, and then I bounced. It was hot. Everybody was sweaty, shiny.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, 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.

Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone Bash, bam, another one gone The crack of the bat and another one gone life through hip-hop.

Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history, like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing. Check it. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records, because in order to make history, you have to make some noise.

Listen to I Do Part 2 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. This is the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.

Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee. That was new Beyonce. What was that called? Cuffed? Cuff It. Cuff It? I haven't heard Beyonce's album yet, so I am not familiar with nothing on there.

And I don't even know if I can walk around with the last name Pinkett Smith Winfrey knows Carter today since I didn't listen to it at midnight like everybody else did. Oh. All right. Well, it's time for Front Page News. It is Friday, so you'll be listening to that, I'm sure, all day. Yes, let's talk about Vice President Kamala Harris. She was in Brooklyn, like I said, in Bed-Stuy yesterday.

And she was talking about the formation of the Economic Opportunity Coalition that's going to help serve underprivileged communities. So what is that coalition? Well, it's 24 companies and foundations which will invest tens of billions of dollars in underserved communities. So some of those companies that are involved as part of this coalition include Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, PayPal, Netflix, Upstart, the Rockefeller Foundation, MasterCard, McDonald's, and so on. Google, somebody from Google was there also. So that could be something that is groundbreaking for some of these small businesses. It'll help support entrepreneurship, minority-owned businesses, and infrastructure investment to increase community wealth. Okay. Yeah, so that investment to increase community wealth. Okay.

Yeah, so that was the big announcement yesterday. So let's talk about Instagram. They are going to roll back changes following the backlash they got from users. You saw that people were saying, please stop trying to be like TikTok. And can we bring Instagram back and make Instagram Instagram again? They did have a whole petition that people were signing. So they are going to revert some of the changes over the next one to two weeks. So Adam Aseri said, I'm glad we took a risk.

If we're not failing every once in a while, we're not thinking big enough or bold enough. So while we've learned a lot, then we come back with some sort of new idea or iteration. So we're going to work through that. They're going to temporarily decrease the amount of recommended content on feeds, but they'll continue to push video content to keep up with evolving user habits. I don't know why they think people want that. Like, you know, I see more of the suggested posts sometimes than I do the people I actually follow.

Like if Instagram is supposed to be a place that supposedly is supposed to be safer, you know, for people's mental health other than other people's social media sites, and I curate my page to follow who I want to follow and see what I want to see, why are you forcing other people's content on me? Yeah, I only want to see the people who I follow. I don't want to see random things. That's it. That's why you got the block button. That's why you got the mute button. Unless, you know what?

You used to be able to click on The Explorer page and see it there So if you feel like seeing like let me see what y'all want to suggest They should be like just the Explorer page for people who are interested in doing that, but if you don't Shouldn't be forced on you. That's a great point I don't want my main feed to look like the Explorer page and we already talked about the botch earlier this week I don't want to see no damn botch asking me Do I want something long and hard and then botch nasty as hell why didn't botch earlier this week. I don't want to see no damn botch asking me do I want something long and hard. And them botch nasty as hell.

Why them botch so damn nasty? Mine aren't like that. Mine always ask me about finances. It must be what you search. No, I get the crypto. I get the finances. And it's all like porn, spam, botch.

Everybody gets those. Like, do you have a tissue? I don't want to, man. What are you talking about? Maybe they need to sneeze. All right, now. The jackpot for the Mega Millions is now $1.1 billion. It's the second largest jackpot in game history. So if you cash out, that's $648.2 million.

I like how it looks on the sign. I've never seen it get that big, Paul. So on the sign, it says 1.0 whatever, and it actually says billion when you're driving and you see the Mega Millions Powerball sign. I was like, damn. It's tonight, right? Yep.

So this is Friday's jackpot. So get ready. The odds of winning, 1 in 303 million. I really would like to know. I would like to know what are the odds of winning just because you buy a whole bunch of tickets. Like you're seeing people buy. I saw somebody buy $50,000 worth of tickets. It was some CEO or some company.

I forgot who it was. How much is a ticket? It's $2 a number. So like if you buy five. I get five quick picks every time I go. Five quick picks, that's $10. It only takes one. So I don't if you buy five, I get five quick picks every time I go. Five quick picks, that's $10. It only takes one. So, I don't, you know, if you want to spend $50,000, if you got it, do you.

But that's just stupid to me. It just increases your odds and chances of winning, right? I wonder if it does. That's what I was asking. I wonder if it does. Because if you buy 10 tickets, you know, that's 10 in 303 million chances instead of just one. But I thought it's one in 300-something million people winning.

No, that's your chance of winning, your odds of winning. So the more tickets you buy, the odds are a little bit higher. That's all. Like if you bought a million tickets, you have a million and 303 million chances. Yeah, I'm not going broke trying to play no men's and men's. I mean, if you got it, if you got a small fortune to spend to try to win a big fortune, do you. I'm not one of those people. And JetBlue has agreed to buy Spirit

for $3.8 billion after a bidding war. So it was a month-long bidding war. And according to the CEO of Spirit, Ted Christie, he was against it, but he didn't think that regulators would ever let it happen. He said, a lot has been said over the last few months. Obviously, always with our stakeholders in mind,

we have been listening to the folks at JetBlue, and they have a lot of good thoughts on their plans for that. So they're trying to get regulatory approval. I don't like this at all. This is like one of my homies, you know, one of my partners that I absolutely love hooking up with somebody I don't rock with at all. Okay?

Because y'all know I'm a Mosaic member on JetBlue. I don't rock with Spirit at all, though. Maybe you'll be a Mosaic member on Spirit as well now. Is this going to make Spirit better or make JetBlue worse? Because that's how it is with partnerships sometimes, right? You got one person that's been doing their thing, hook up with somebody that's whack, and then that whack person brings them down.

Or the person that's dope could bring them up. I don't know how this is going to work out. I don't think I like it. Well, Spirit plans to be converted to JetBlue's configuration, which allows for more leg room. So there'll be fewer seats for sale on each flight. And then JetBlue will increase the pay of Spirit employees

as well. If you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig. If you put cake icing on some doo-doo, it's still doo-doo. I don't know how this is going to play out. Alright, well that is your front page news. I'll be so upset if I get on a jet-boo flight and I smell

spirit. Spirit is convenient though. Sometimes in flights be like $59. That's the problem and they treat you, you get what you pay for. They treat you like you spent $59 for a flight. We got Get It Off Your Chest coming up, right? Yeah, call us up, 800-585-1051.

It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. I'm darling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm darling. I'm calling you. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is James from Miami. What up, James from Miami? What's going on? 305. What's going on, Charlemagne? What's happening, King? I don't know. I'm blessed black. I don't feel like I'm highly favored, but I guess I am because I'm

still alive. You are highly favored because you're still alive. You answered your own question. Yes, man. God got his hand on you. What's happening? I'm just kind of stressed out because I'm going through this separation with my son's mom.

It's getting really petty. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of, but at the same time, I don't want to make any rational decisions because it can affect my son. Right. But it's just what I'm trying to say is

when somebody have a child with you, man or woman, if y'all not married, and y'all not together anymore, if it's not about the child, the man or the woman don't owe you anything. That's true. I'm trying to, like, mess up somebody else's life

because y'all not together anymore. Okay, so you think she's trying to mess your life up? Not, like, just mentally, pretty much mentally. Because if we're not together anymore, she still live, you know, at my own house, you know, like, come living at my own house, you know, like come home whenever they want to, not paying any bills. You know, and then it's like when you try to tell them that you got to go,

they threaten you. I don't want to do the bad thing and, you know, just call the cops or whatever because my son is involved. I just want my son to be in the best position, you know, just call the cops or whatever, because my son is involved. I just want my son to be in the best position, you know. Is there any way you guys can do some counseling so y'all can co-parent together, so you can have an expert come in and mediate? She doesn't want to do that. She doesn't want any of that.

When we try to talk, you know, like, I'm getting cussed out. Well, sir, you should document all of this and lawyer up. That's all I can say. I document them, but that's what scares me I don't want to take my son into like You know the The court I don't want any I could get custody

And all of that but it's not it's beneficial to me But not to my son I'm not saying get custody but you might want to make sure Because you know they do look more favorably upon Whoever the person is That actually initiates that and she might be getting ready to take you to court and so if it's about the best interest of your son and you guys can't come to any sort of agreement i do recommend you protect yourself and protect you know your rights to actually make sure you

can see your son when you need to sometimes you know that might be the only act right solution yeah i'm trying to do that it's just like i just want to say people like when y'all not together you need to. Sometimes, you know, that might be the only act right solution. Yeah, I'm trying to do that. It's just like, I just want to say to people, like, when y'all not together anymore, it's the child that's getting hurt. Stop trying to hurt each other or whatever.

And the men, I don't owe, you don't owe the woman or vice versa anything. No, you don't. And it's a shame. It's about the child. Yeah, that this is happening

the way that it is. But I'm only telling you that I would even just talk to a lawyer to see what advice that they would have because they've seen this situation over and over and over again. So they might give you some solutions that you didn't even think of. Thank you. And Solomon, I have one more question, brother.

Yes, sir. I've tried better, I think, better health therapy. I've tried it like many different times. I've tried better. I think better health therapy. I've tried it, like, many different times. I've had, like, six sessions. None of them are good, man. It's just I tried everything, but none of these things are. They're not helping at all.

Well, you know, therapy is not one size fits all. You know what I'm saying? You might have to sit down with a few therapists, you know, to figure out the one that's right for you. But too man it's a lot of other different ways to you know define healing you might find healing through you know well it might help you to heal the journal you know you might want to try meditation you might want to try some breathing exercises you might want to try some you know regular physical I'm going to actually get your email, and I'm going to connect you with my partner, Dr. Alfie Breland Noble at the Mental Wealth Alliance, man.

Give me a second. Yee, so look. First of all, you need an Oscar for your movie. I'm in a movie on Tubi. It's called Who You With. Yo, that's my movie right there. Now, I want to ask you because I'm probably going to win the lottery. So I want to know what you want.

Okay. Okay. Just give me the positive. You know what I'm saying? I'll take care of that. Alright, Carter. I'm praying for us. Immediate family and Andrew Yee. And my team-mate brother. That's it. Alright, Carter. I like how you talking. I like how you talking,

bruh, bruh. Really, we love you. All right, we love you too. All right, let's get it up your chest. Good morning. Who is this? This is Jay.

What's up, Jay? What you want to get up your chest? How are you? I just want to say I woke up the other night and I went to the restroom and came back and I heard a dang notification, like, 12 a.m. in the morning. I got two phones, one for my work phone, and the other one is my personal. I checked both of my phones, it wasn't my phone, it was actually my girl's phone.

It was a notification on Cash App for $40, and then it was a messenger notification where a guy sent a message saying check your cash out love so you know i kind of got irritated because i was like what what's up with this because she just asked me the other day for some money and i sent her a hundred dollars so why you got somebody else sending you cash when money is an issue and I'm supposed to be your dude. So you come to me if you need money. Damn. You don't want for nothing. So what's up? Who was the guy?

Who was the guy sending her money? It was one of her old coworkers that she used to work with at this place. And she said that, um, Dan talking to me and he hit her back up. And then she claimed that he just sent the cash out saying that, knows she can use the gas money because gas high and all so i'm like i got a whole business in a gas car so you don't need nobody sending you gas money because i keep your car full up with gas so i need a better explanation than that you know and he said check your cash app love. Yes, ma'am. He said, check your cash app love. And, you know, I went through the messages and all, and it's not like he didn't know about me.

I will say I'll be 100% with you if he didn't mention me, but it's like he didn't care about that. He still was present. I don't think that means nothing, my brother. I mean, because I use a lot of terms of endearment, you know, for my homegirls. I say things like queen. I say things like my love. I say things like beloved.

Like, I don't think that means nothing just because they said love. He probably spelled it L-U-V, right? Right. Yeah, man, that ain't nothing, bro. That ain't nothing to be tripping on. I don't think so. I would want to know what the money was for. Right.

And my other thing is, like, we just had that conversation, like, two weeks ago about not every dude is supposed to be your friend because some of us actually have good intentions and some of us have hidden agendas. Like, we play the role as a friend and all, and the first time you have, like, confusion going on in your relationship, we're going to swoop right in and take advantage of your vulnerability. There's vultures like that out there.

That is true. You just got to find out what the money is for. And have a conversation with your girl. That's all. I'm sure she'll be honest with you. And if she don't, you'll know if she's lying. Right, right, right, right. Okay.

Well, I wish you all the best of luck, sir. All right. Thank you. You're welcome. She got best of luck, sir. All right. Thank you. You're welcome. She got that $40 cash app. All right. Well, that was Get It Off Your Chest on a Friday. Now, we got the rumor report coming up next, and we will be talking about Beyonce. She has shared a message ahead of her Renaissance release, which is out now. She said it's a three-act project, but there was one person who had some issues.

We'll tell you what somebody had to say. All right. We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max.

Talk to them With Angela Yee On The Breakfast Club Alright well Beyonce has put out This message Right before she put out The Renaissance album

She said it is a Three act project That was recorded Over three years During the pandemic A time to be still, but also a time I found to be the most creative. Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape

during a scary time for the world. It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving. She also said it's a place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration. She gave a special thank to Rumi, Sir, and Blue, she said, for allowing me the space, creativity and inspiration and special thanks to my beautiful husband and muse who held me down during those late nights in the studio.

So she thanked a lot of people and the Renaissance track list, according to some of the credits, there were a lot of collaborators, Drake, Jay-Z, the Neptunes, Nile Rodgers, amongst others. Now, she also posted another message with her Act 1 renaissance, just letting people know to all my fans, I hope you find joy in the music. I hope it inspires you to release the wiggle and to feel as unique, strong, and sexy as you are. And when the album did leak, she thanked people for waiting for the proper release time so you all can enjoy

it together. She said, I've never seen anything like it. I can't thank you all enough for your love and protection. I appreciate you for calling out anyone that was trying to sneak into the club early. It means the world to me. Yeah, I haven't heard it yet. I haven't gotten around to it. You know, I gotta create

the right vibe. Music is a spiritual experience so you have to have the right setting. I heard it's a dance album and I saw Questlove say this is her off the wall so I gotta be in the right environment to hear this. Now one song that created some controversy with Khalees was this song, Get Along With

You. The Khalees song. Now you can hear the Beyonce energy song that she says that Khalees is saying Beyonce sampled. It all started on social media when somebody commented that, you know, they heard the song. They said, my mind is blown. And Khalees said, my mind is blown because the level of disrespect and utter ignorance of all three parties involved is astounding. I heard about this the same way everyone else did.

Nothing is ever as it seems. Some of the people in this business have no soul or integrity and they have everyone fooled. And that's in response to somebody in the comments section saying that Beyonce's

Renaissance album will include a Khalees sample on the song Energy. All right, now... You just played two different songs that sound completely different than each other to me,

but what do I know? Yeah, no, I didn't say... Can you hear me now, guys, or no? Yeah, we hear you. Yes, ma'am. Yeah, no, I didn't say, can you hear me now, guys, or no? Yeah, we hear you. Yes, ma'am. Yeah, no, I didn't sound the same, but when you clear a sample for anybody out there, you clear it with the record label that the people own.

So you clear it through the people who own the sample. So if you want to clear a Jay-Z vocal or a Nas vocal or a Beyonce vocal, you have to get clearance from the people that actually own it. Now, if she doesn't actually own her stuff, they don't have to go through her for clearance. They go through the people that own her stuff. Well, if she doesn't actually own her stuff, they don't have to go through her for clearance. They go through the people that own her stuff. Well, Khalees posted on social media

and she responded to all of what she had to say. She was very clear in what she had to say. She said, I just heard the record everyone is saying has my sample, but it's beyond this song at this point. This was a trigger for me. Milkshake alone is one of the most licensed records of our generation.

I'm a creator. I'm an innovator. Here's what she had to say about why she addressed everything. I was actually, last night, I was posting on my Bounty and Full page just doing my own thing. And then I saw one of my fan pages and someone was like, oh, that's a collaboration.

Collaboration between Bea and Khalees. No, it's not a collaboration. It's called thievery. Because a collaboration, the definition of collaboration, it means that we are working together. There's no working together if you are not even checking to see if everything's cool. That's a problem, okay? I would never do that to another artist, for real.

I never have. I never would. Why? Because what's the point? If I like it so much, why wouldn't I just be like, yo, I really like it. Can I use it? What's, like, whatever. She also said there's a lot of hypocrisy in the industry.

Here's the issue, okay? This is not about, really not about Beyonce or anything else for that. But the reality is that this is more about the fact that, like like there's a lot of hypocrisy and there's a lot of nonsense so we've got Pharrell who did a video uh sorry an interview I think last year talking about artists rights and how people should be able to rework their deals and artists should be getting credit for what they've done and all this stuff where in reality when I was signed to him I had the same manager that he had and he has writing credits on my records, and he never wrote a song, a lyric, a day in his life, okay? Number two, we've got Beyonce, who, like I said, out of human decency and artistry and female,

just all of the stuff she sings about, all this empowerment and stuff, I don't talk about it, I am about it, okay? So the reality is reality is all of this female empowerment it only counts if you really do it all right well we'll get more into it in the next hour but kalish definitely was going in huh yes envy all right i think he got correct oh okay i feel like uh i feel like kalish just has a lot to get off her chest i I feel like Khalees been wanting to say a lot of that stuff for a long time because the Envy's point, I feel like that's like a lawyer thing, right? Like I don't see what taking that to IG is going to do.

Yeah, I think like when you get things cleared, it's usually through the label or whoever represents you in the legal department. I don't think that artists normally are the persons that personally clear things. Yeah, and I think Khalees just wants more credit for her contributions to the game. I have some homegirls who really, really stand for Khalees

and they've always felt like Khalees never got her proper just due, so if they feel like that, I'm sure Khalees feels like that about herself. Alright, well that is your rumor report. Next up, we got front page news. We'll talk about Zion Williamson and his new contract, and there are some clauses in there that have to do with his weight.

Oh, okay. We'll talk about it when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club. Charlemagne Tha God, Angela Yee. Envy is off and on with us this morning. He's having some technical issues. Still seem to be going around a lot lately.

But we got front page news. What you got, Yee? Well, Zion Williamson, his new contract is coming with some demands. So he's going to have to maintain a certain weight and body fat percentage or he'll risk losing

some of his guaranteed money. He did a five-year extension worth up to $231 million and that's to stay with the New Orleans Pelicans. But the catch is that some of that money could be taken away

if his health stipulations aren't met. So he'll have to submit to weigh-ins throughout his contract to ensure that his weight and body fat percentage stays below 295. And if he doesn't, he has to pay for that. So he's training right now to get back to 100%. He's currently listed at 284 pounds.

So I guess he'll have to be in good shape if he wants to keep that money. It's called incentive. OK, salute the young Zion Spartanburg, South Carolina zone, dropping the clues bombs for Zion Williamson. I don't see anything wrong with that. I'm investing in you and I need you to be in tip top physical shape, especially when your weight is contributing to some of your injuries. So I don't see anything wrong with putting that extra incentive for him to stay in shape in his contract. All right. And there's a proposed law that's been introduced in Congress earlier this week. And that law would heavily restrict when federal prosecutors can use rap lyrics as evidence during a criminal case.

So there have been efforts, as you know, in California and in New York to limit the that practice, which is very controversial. But this has been introduced. It's called the Restoring Artistic Protection Act. And so, again, if somebody has rap lyrics that could be used against them in court, that would really heavily make sure that they can't really do that. I'm not mad at that at all, man,

but I still want all the OGs, all the brothers and sisters who've been in the game for a long time, who've been in the game for a long time, could you please encourage these young brothers, you know, number one, to stop committing crimes, but number two, please don't rap about the crimes that you commit. That's the bigger issue

for me. Like, we're not getting to the root of the problem. Yes, you don't want these, you know, lyrics used in court, but number one, why are you committing crimes in the first place? And number two, why are you rapping about them? Why? All right. Well, that is your front page news.

I don't know what we're doing next. It's Friday. Well, we were talking about Jimmy Butler. Oh, my God. Jimmy, are you talking about Jimmy that just got the fake dreads? Yeah, so Jimmy Butler

did get some hair extensions. And so first, you know, we saw the whole transition. He did get lock extensions installed, and it has blonde tips at the end of those. And I saw he was trending for that, for his new hairstyle. What did you think? I mean, listen, I don't think there's anything wrong with men getting hair extensions. I'm not going to do it, you know. Remember, Fetty Wap did it.

Listen, I'm not mad to do it. You know, but you know. Remember Fetty Wap did it. Listen, I'm not mad at anybody who does it. It's just like, you know, when women do it, you know, it's just like, oh, okay, she got hair extensions. I guess it's the same things for the guys.

Just don't try to pretend and act like it's real. I don't think he's trying to act like it's real because, you know, he didn't all of a sudden come. I'm not talking about Jimmy.

I'm talking about other people. All right, well, we want to see what y'all think about it because I saw everybody was weighing in on it. People had jokes. But what y'all think about Jimmy. I'm talking about other people. All right, well, we want to see what y'all think about it because I saw everybody was weighing in on it. People had jokes. But what y'all think about Jimmy Butler and his lock extensions? 800-585-1051, The Breakfast Club.

The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Pick up the phone, baby. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Finally connected. I've been here since 5.30 a.m. and they finally got it right. But we're opening up the phone lines, 800-585-1051. What are we talking? We're talking about Jimmy Butler. Jimmy Butler. He got some hair extensions, some lock extensions,

and some tape up with the cornrows and all of that. He got the blonde tips. And I saw a lot of people on social media were talking about it. Somebody told me, a guy who has locks said, it just wasn't fair. He was like,

these things are spiritual. I spent a lot of time growing mine. And so he thought it was like, you know, him jumping I spent a lot of time growing mine. And so he thought it was like, you know, him jumping to the front of the line. So we want to see what you guys think. Let's see who is on the line. Good morning. We're not going to discuss it? Wait, wait, wait. Before we do,

before we do, we need to discuss this. Go ahead, Envy. I don't have a problem with it. Remember, Fetty Wap was the first one that did it. Fetty Wap did it about maybe a couple of years ago when he went to it, but I don't have a problem with it. And mean, Fetty Wap was the first one that did it. Fetty Wap did it about maybe a couple of years ago when he went to it, but I don't have a problem with it. And the guy that says he grew his dreads and grew his braids, I think that's a lot of crap because everybody has braids and dreads now.

Every little kid, every adult, every 50-year-old, every 30-year-old. So the fact that he did it and jumped the line, I don't have a problem with it. If I had a little bit of hair, I would connect it to it. I would have some dreads. I don't see nothing wrong with it. Let me had a little bit of hair, I would connect it to it. I would have some dreads. I don't see nothing wrong with it. Let me tell you something, man. I've been seeing this trend for a while. I've had homeboys, you know, brothers who had long dreads.

Then they went to jail, had to cut their dreads, came home. You see them one day, they got a little teeny weeny afro, then boom, dreadlocks. Now, I'm glad we're touching on this subject because as a 44-year-old man, when I see people like the icon Sean Carter walking around with a head full of dreadlocks, crispy hairlines, and not a gray hair in sight at 50-plus years old, I have questions. I've been wondering. Nobody wants to ask this question out loud, but is Hov's hair real? If so, we got to put this up there with him losing 92 bricks and getting them

all back. Now, I be minding my business, but since we discussing... Don't you talk about the God now. That is the God. You know I love Ho, but since we discussing, ever since I seen Michael Che's dreadlocked wig on his TV show that damn Michael Che, I've been wondering. I have questions.

I just wanna know. No, there's a lot of guys who have a full head of hair out here. You know, there's plenty. That's what I just want to know. There's a lot of guys who have a full head of hair out here. There's plenty of guys. Are you trying to say that God has fake hair? Sounds a little like jealousy. Do you think Jay-Z's hair is real? How is that jealousy? Are you trying to say that Hov went to Angelina Jolie's shop in Detroit and got some dreads?

There's plenty of guys with them full heads of hair. Once again, we're discussing men, you know. And once again, we're discussing men with hair extensions, so I'm asking, do y'all think Hov's hair is real? Yeah.

Hov's is real. Absolutely. Because we've seen the whole process of him growing it, too. It's not like it happened overnight. It kind of did. It went from teeny weeny afro

to Bob Marley in like a year, bro. It did. Yes, it did. It did. Y'all lied if y'all say otherwise. It went from teeny weeny afro to like Bob Marley in like a year, bro. It did. Yes, it did. It did. Y'all lied if y'all say otherwise. It went from teeny weeny Afro to like Bob Marley in about a year.

You're lying if you say otherwise, bro. No, it didn't. No, because he had the little twist at first, and then he had the goals. And then boom. Where is it at in the middle? Where is the middle? For everybody, for all the guys out there who are considering this, come to Private Label Extensions.

We got you. We don't discriminate, all right? Let's see what y'all think. I will say, if that is Jay-Z's real hair, we got to put this up there with him losing 92 bricks and getting them all back. We have to. He didn't lose 92 bricks. It's that incredible of a feat.

All right, well, Tyler is on the line. What's up, Tyler? Man, what's going on, y'all? What do you think about Jimmy Butler's lock extensions? Man, let me tell you something about Jimmy Wap, a.k.a. Jimmy Bundles. That boy got me messed up. I've been growing my hair since 2010, the hard way.

You feel me? I had to go through the ugly stages. I had to go through it all. And I got beautiful locks. How the heck did this man think he can go ahead and cheat the process just because he got a little bit of money? Are you kidding me? His hair does look nice. You don't notice this?

It does look nice, though. He said, do you think we don't notice this? You don't think we don't notice this? No, no. Can I ask you a question, King? I've been a member of the dreadlock community for 12 years, and we don't accept your application, Jimmy. You were both brothers. You're denied.

Yes, sir. How long it took you to grow your dreads, you said? To 2010. And Kyle, 12 long years. Let me ask you a question. Yes, sir. Do you think the great Sean Carter, Jay-Z's hair is real? Will you stop it?

I'm not going to let you slam the hose on the fire. Answer the question. I want to know. No, no, no, no. I'm not going to do hoes in this second. Hose hair is real. Jimmy Bucket you stop it? I'm not going to let you slam the hose on the front. Answer the question. I want to know. No, no, no, no. Hose hair, I'm not going to do hose hair in just a sec. Hose hair is real. Jimmy Bucket. No, not Jimmy Bucket. He's Jimmy Bundles. Jimmy Bundles got me. Jimmy Bundles. No.

Jimmy Bundles, your application has been revoked. You cannot join the dreadlock community. You've been denied. Stop it, man. Take that crap out your hair. Take it out your hair. You know, hair is an accessory. I see his hair flopping around on the court, you know? Y'all thought Ellen Otis would change the game. This boy is going to be the first in the world to have been burned with dread with extensions.

He's going to change the game. He's going to open up so many doors for so many other future players. Oh, yeah. Y'all thought Ellen Otis would change the game. It looked nice. He got it in a bun on top of his head. That's how I like to wear mine, too. Do y'all think Drake's braids are real?

Drake's braids, they're real. They're real. All right, well, let's see what you guys think about Jimmy Butler and his lock extensions, 800-585-1051 is the number. Hey, guys. I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show,

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.

Call us up. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. You can see donkeys, donkeys, donkeys. Bunch of jackass. It's now time for the donkey of the day. That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the Devil?

Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Yes, Donkey of the Day for Friday, July 29th. And I can't believe I'm doing this. I never thought this day would come, but I never thought these words would come out of my mouth. Donkey of the Day is going to Chick-fil-A? Now, not Chick-fil-A as a staff record label and mother effing crew, but a particular Chick-fil-A? Now, not Chick-fil-A as a staff record label and mother effing crew, but a particular

Chick-fil-A, okay? One Chick-fil-A in Hendersonville, North Carolina. I saw them facing online outrage yesterday after issuing a call out on social media for volunteers to work the restaurant's new drive-thru express. Now, that's interesting

because the word volunteers is not the same as the word workers or even employees. So what does it mean to volunteer? When I think of the word volunteer, I think of someone who is doing what they do for free. No compensation. Volunteering their time, and they might get blessed with, like, a voucher for food or something like that. And by the looks of what this Chick-fil-A in Hendersonville, North Carolina did, my definition of volunteer isn't too far off. Let's go to CNC.

Well, let's go to WCNC for the report, please. So Chick-fil-A in Hendersonville, they tried to get people to work for their drive-thru express for only one hour in a very interesting way that's receiving a lot of backlash online. The post is now deleted on Facebook, but the Hendersonville location said they wanted volunteers who would work one hour shifts and receive five free entrees instead of money. So Chick-fil-A, a spokesperson said that they did not endorse the program. Again, this program has been ended in a day because of all the backlash. But the Chick-fil-A spokesperson did say, you know, some of these locations are typically individually owned, so they could do it. Again, they just didn't endorse it. This Hendersonville, North Carolina Chick-fil-A wanted volunteers to work the restaurant's drive-thru for free food. The ad on Facebook reads,

we are looking for volunteers for our new drive-thru express, and you will earn five free entrees per shift, which is one hour worked. Let me tell you something. I love Chick-fil-A. We all do. Okay, one of the harshest reminders for me that life isn't fair is that I'm lactose intolerant

and can no longer enjoy peach milkshakes at Chick-fil-A. All right. But even with my love of a number one with cheese, even though I shouldn't be eating cheese either, even with my love of that, there is no way in hell I'm working strictly for a three piece chicken strip. OK, my car runs on gas, not the spicy chicken sandwich. Now, we all got to eat. I understand that. And working for food in this climate may not be a bad thing, okay? But working for money is better, all right? Do you know Chick-fil-A pay rate ranges from an average of $8.49 per hour to $18.78 per hour? Chick-fil-A Incorporated pays its employees an average of $12 per hour. Sorry, Chick-fil-A, but in these troubling times, I need my money. But the more I look at it, if they have these folks

only volunteering for an hour, did I read that right? They said five free entrees per shift, which is one hour worked. So a shift is one hour. If they have these folks only volunteering for an hour, and my mouth is watering as I say this, damn it I'm such a

trans fat ass maybe five free entrees isn't bad all right the problem is that's a waste of food unless you're bringing it to a whole family but this might not be a bad deal depending on your circumstances but apparently they have uh rethought this because after the backlash, they deleted the Facebook post and the Hendersonville Chick-fil-A has declined to comment and directed all media inquiries to the corporate press room. And Chick-fil-A's corporate press team said we do not endorse the volunteer program. So the restaurant decided to end it. I knew this couldn't possibly be a reflection of Chick-fil-A as a whole. It's just something, though. Something about making people, you know, even just the thought of making people,

especially black people, work for chicken, that doesn't sit right with me, okay? Making people work for food, period, doesn't sit right with me, all right? I want the money, but I can see it both ways. I'm going to be honest with y'all. I just really confuse my damn self, okay? I don't know whether to give them donkey or not because one hour of work for a wage or one hour of work for five entrees from Chick-fil-A. I don't know what I would do in this situation. I really don't.

I'm so confused. What would you do in this situation? What's the value of the five meals? Okay. I mean, they range in price. You know, you can get a Chick-fil-A chicken sandwich meal, a Chick-fil-A deluxe sandwich meal, a spicy chicken sandwich meal. Then they got the spicy deluxe sandwich meal.

They got the grilled chicken sandwich, the grilled chicken club sandwich. They got the eight piece nugget meal. It depends they come in eight piece. Eight piece nugget meal. It depends on how many people you have to feed at home, too. What would you do, Envy? Well, how hungry am I? Because if I'm really, really hungry, I might do it. I'm a two entree guy at Chick-fil-A. Because, you know, I like to do my edibles on the weekend.

I'll be getting the munchies. And I already know how my trans fat ass do. I'm going to eat one meal, and then when I'm high later on, boy, that thing be slapping later on after, like, midnight on a Friday night. Right? So I don't know what I would do in this situation. I thought this was a straight donkey of the day until I started talking. I don't know.

Huh. All right. Can we open the phone lines? What you want to do? Is this a Breakfast Club court thing? Or is it just a con? You know what? I just want the listeners to decide.

Would you take one hour shift at Chick-fil-A for the regular wage, all right, which is an average of $12 per hour, or would you take the five free entrees for an hour of volunteer work at Chick-fil-A? I'm going to let them decide whether or not they should get the biggest e-hall or not. All right. Well, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. You work one hour at Chick-fil-A, right?

What is Chick-fil-A paying? Minimum wage? $12 per hour. $12 an hour or five entrees. Now, five entrees at Chick-fil-A, I'm a fat ass like Charlemagne said. Yes, they range anywhere from $7 to $10. If it's a meal with the half and half, it's definitely going to be close to $10. So five of that is $50.

Which one are you doing? Are you getting the cash? You could probably sell it too, yeah. Exactly. Now, if you work minimum wage, you know they're going to take taxes out. So it's not really what Charlemagne's saying because they're going to take 30% of your taxes. So which one are you taking? Are you taking the food or are you taking

minimum wage? I'm food all day. I'm food all day. 800-585-1051. Let's talk about it. Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. I know it's Freaky Friday so we can, if you just want to keep it freaky, you can say you're taking the meat or the money.

I like that too. Five taking the meat or the money? I like that too. Five free meats, envy or the money? I'm taking the meat. Okay, all right. What about you, Charlemagne? Freaky, freaky, freaky Friday. It's the Breakfast Local Morning. It's topic time.

Pick up the phone, baby. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy and Jalee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Chick-fil-A. What happened with Chick-fil-A, Charlamagne?

It's a Chick-fil-A in Hendersonville, North Carolina. This doesn't represent the whole franchise across the country of all Chick-fil-A's, but just theA in Hendersonville, North Carolina. This doesn't represent the whole franchise across the country of all Chick-fil-A's, but just the one in Hendersonville, North Carolina. They were looking for volunteers, and they want volunteers to work their new drywall work. Now, I was going to give them donkey of the day for this because it's just something that doesn't sit right with me when it comes to making people, especially black people, work for chicken. But the more I think about it,

when you look at how how chick-fil-a pays us and employ pays its employees an average of 12 per hour if you're only working one shift which is an hour five free hot trays from chick-fil-a might not be bad bro i'm not sure what are you taking i'll start with you charlam. Are you taking the money or the meat? I think I'm gonna take the meat bro, but I'm only looking at it from the perspective of I have four daughters. We knew you were taking the meat. Shut up. And they do Chick-fil-A Fridays every Friday. Like that's just a thing in the crib. You know, they do Chick-fil-A Fridays. So literally that would save me money because that would be four meals. That's actually five meals. so that that'd be an extra

meal well only three of my daughters would eat chick-fil-a because one of them's only nine months but that's the point it'd be well actually it'd be three meals for me it'd be three meals for the kids and then uh two for me and my wife so i might i probably would take the hour of free meals bro see the hustler that i am i would take those those entrees, and if I needed the money, I would go in the parking lot, and I know that Chick-fil-A meals might be $8 to $10, and now if I sell five of them for $4 or $5 a piece, I made way more than minimum wage, and I don't got to pay taxes. That's what I would do, so I would take the meals.

You would absolutely make donkey of the day for that because you would get arrested. If you get those meals from Chick-fil-A and then try to stand at Chick-fil-A Park a lot, can you imagine? You know how they have the people that walk up to the cars getting your order, but you walking up to people with bags of Chick-fil-A talking about, I got it for the low? You'd get arrested. That's alright, I'll try. What about you? Are you taking the money or the meat?

You know, I'm all about value, so it feels like there's more value in the food. You can give it to people, you can sell it, you can eat, and so it feels like value-wise, that's worth more. And you can do more. We have the meat. The meat. Who is that?

That ain't Chick-fil-A. Who say that? Who says we have the meat other than in... It's Arby's, isn't it? Arby's. Yes, Arby's. We have the meat. Hello, who's this?

Yo, it's Moe Blake. What's up? Moe, what's up, brother? What's up, man? Yo, y'all got to eat the chicken, man. You taking the meat or the money? Yo, yo, you got to eat the chicken. Come on, don't talk to me like that.

Eat the chicken, man. Which one? So you taking the meat or the money? Which one? The chicken, man. You got it five entrees or an hour worth of work you got it you gotta eat when you say chicken because chicken is slang for money so you mean like take the money you gotta eat the chicken you're gonna eat the chicken man are you saying

you want to eat more meat i'm talking about man are you saying you would eat more meat i'm saying that you gotta eat the chicken. If they're gonna give you five entrees for hours worth of work, I'm not taking the money. He's not taking the money. He wants the meat. So you want the meat? He wants the meat.

I'm gonna eat the chicken. Alright. Thank you, brother. Have a good one, man. You know, technically, though, people don't think about it like that. But when you eat Chick-fil-A, I mean, some of this chicken is actually made from cocks. You know, but continue. Yo, you stupid, man.

It is. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Monaco calling from Florida. Hey, what's up, bro? You taking the money or the meat? I'm taking the money, bro. Okay. The reason why I'm taking the money, say if you have to show proof of up, bro? You taking the money or the meat? I'm taking the money, bro. Okay, so $12. The reason why I'm taking the money,

say if you have to show proof of income, right? Say you're on probation or whatever. You can't go to your probation officer and say, oh, I work for chicken. That is very real, brother. I don't know why you're laughing at me. This is absolutely accurate. He's absolutely 100% correct.

It's only one hour. It's one hour. Yeah, but that proof of income goes a long way with probation officers. And also, say they're in a community where there's no jobs and they got to get food stamp assistance. Nowadays, they make you want to have to show some type of source of income. You right.

Oh, you're talking good, brother. So you can't go and get – yeah, I look around all the boards of it. Like, yeah, I'm not taking no food or I need a source of income. You talking good, brother. Yeah, I ain't taking from that angle. I ain't taking from the food stamp angle or the PO angle. Not bad, bro. Yeah, I'm not taking no food. You talking good. You talking good, brother. I ain't taking no food stamp angle or the PO angle. Not bad, bro. Yeah, man.

You talking good, King. I ain't even think about that. You right. Right. All right, my brother. Have a nice day, man. Yes, sir. You too.

He just came home. 800-585-1051. That's right. You don't want no more meat. He's done with the meat. He don't want no more meat. You done seen too the meat. He don't want no more meat. You know what I'm saying? Too many meats.

If you just joined us, we're talking about Chick-fil-A. What happened with Chick-fil-A now? Hendersonville, North Carolina, Chick-fil-A. They were looking for volunteers. They wanted to pay volunteers five free entrees per shift, which is one hour worked instead of money. All right. So we're asking, would you take the money or the meat?

Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I know it now. I know I'm in. I know I'm in. I know I'm in. I know I'm in.

They can't know if you're in or not. Call me. Add your opinion to The Breakfast Club topic. Come on. 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now if you just joined us, Charlamagne gave Donkey the day he thinks to Chick-fil-A. That's right. I think, I don't know, I actually didn't give it to them yet. That's why I want to ask the people because at first I thought this was a slam dunk Donkey the day. But as I started to talk, I realized like this might not be a bad idea. They wanted volunteers to work the drive-thru express and you earn five free entrees per shift, which is one hour work instead of money. Now Chick-fil-A averages $12 per hour,

but $12 per hour versus five free entrees an hour. I don't know, bro. I might go get that Chick-fil-A. Alright, so we're asking, what would you take? The money or the meat? Angela Yee's taking the meat. Charlamagne, you know he got that meat. I'm taking the chicken as well. So let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this?

Anonymous. Well, I think it's a really good idea what Chick-fil-A is doing, actually, because this will be great for, like, a single mom who has a bunch of kids. She can't work more than one or two jobs. She just needs to have, like, an hour where she can go and do something. She can feed the whole family for that night. Yeah.

And then it's also a good situation for, like, a stay-at-home mom in this economy. You know, they might be having financial troubles, and she wants to contribute to the household in some way. She can go work an hour while her kids are at school and feed the whole family for that night. So, I don't know. I think it's a good idea. They only took it off because, you know, this generation.

People got mad. Yeah, but it's actually a really good idea for some people. It's actually not a bad idea. I agree. Okay. Hi. Hello, but it's actually a really good idea for some people. It's actually not a bad idea. I agree. Hello, who's this? This is Tim from Dayton, Ohio. Hey, what's up, bro? We're asking what you taking, the money or the meat, bro? Bro, I'm taking the chicken, bro.

I got it. Come on, bro. Every time we go to Chick-fil-A, bro, it's $50 or better. Okay. So you're taking the meat? Yep. Pause, baby. Come on, man. Why you pausing that, bro? You like the meat.

I like the chicken. Okay, you know what a male chicken is called? Come on, man. What? What? Y'all are so crazy, man. I just asked you, what do you think of

male chicken? A male chicken is called a cock, bro. It's okay. Nah, man. I just asked you, what do you think of male chicken? A male chicken is called a cock, bro. It's okay. Nah, man. I'm cool. I'm cool. He's thinking about it now. He's thinking like, damn, I didn't eat cock. Hello, who's this? Hey, what's going on? It's Dre. Hey, Dre. What up, Dre?

Are you taking the money or the meat, bro? Man, for this Freaky Friday, what happened to be my birthday? Man, I'm going with the meat. Birthday meat. He said, I'm going with the meat. Hey. Birthday meat. He said, I'm going with the meat. Spicy.

That money going to come regardless. Whoa. Yeah, but that meat is a little harder to make come, right? Hey, look. Either way. Whoa. Either way, it's going to come. Okay, okay.

Okay, King. They need spicy it's going to come. Okay, okay. Can't take a rich thing. Okay, okay, King. I'm talking today because they need spicy chicken nuggets. They do. No, you ain't lying. Why does Chick-fil-A not have spicy chicken nuggets, bro? That's right. Everybody's got a Wendy's. McDonald's even had them crazy drinks.

Like, come on, man. That's right. Why does Chick-fil-A not have spicy chicken nuggets but got a spicy chicken sandwich? Just cut the meat from the spicy chicken sandwich up and give us some goddamn spicy chicken nuggets. All right, what's the moral of the story, guys? I don't know if there is a moral of the story, and I have to retract. I don't think the Hendersonville, North Carolina, is worthy of getting donkey of the day.

After listening to a lot of the various reasons, especially the brother who called about the probation and the food stamps, the other woman who called about the single mother, I think the volunteer program where they offer five free entrees per shift, I think that is actually a great thing. It just rubbed me the wrong way thinking about people, especially

black people working for chicken, but carry on. Alright, well we got rumors on the way, Yee. Yes, and you know it's Friday. It's New Music Friday, but today is a special one because Beyonce is out today. We'll tell you who else dropped today, and we'll give you some previews. All right, we'll get into that next.
