I'm feeling good. Less black and highly favored. Yes, man. Yes, yes. Life is good. Nothing to complain about. We alive. We made it to another day. We are breathing.

Yes. I tell you all the time, take a deep breath, you know, because there's a lot of people who can't this morning. That's right. They're no longer here. So take a deep breath and thank God for another day of life. Yeah. You know, after the crazy car show over the weekend, and I've been up for like seven days delivering cars, bringing cars, red carpets,

you name it, you name it, everything that had to be involved with the car show. So yesterday was the first day that I did absolutely positively nothing. I went to sleep at 730 and woke up at 5. Boy, did that feel good. You ain't had no boiled peanuts. You ain't had no boiled peanuts, though. I did not have boiled nuts. I didn't You ain't had no boiled peanuts. You ain't had no boiled peanuts, though. I did not have boiled nuts. I didn't say nuts.

I said boiled peanuts. Okay? South Carolina delicacy. All right? No, I didn't have none of that. I slept. Well, that's a good feeling, isn't it? It is.

It is a good feeling. It is. It is. I'm over here getting ready for Angela Yee Day, which is on Saturday. And one of the most amazing, exciting things to me is that I'm working with the Social Justice Fund. So every time people hashtag you belong here, they donate two hundred dollars to five different organizations every single time from the Social Justice Fund. So I just want to encourage people to post and use that hashtag. You belong here. That's the culmination of this whole campaign that the Social Justice Fund has been doing,

making sure that they support different organizations to uphold the rights, freedom, and dignity of people threatened by unjust illegal systems here in the United States. Absolutely. That's incredible. Are y'all going to have boiled peanuts there, though? Yes. Okay. No, I'm just saying that.

I don't think so. You can have them. Why are you so excited about boiled peanuts? Man, you know what? One day I'm going to bring some boiled peanuts in there for y'all and let y'all understand why. I had some in there one time. Yeah, somebody delivered some. Nah, we gave them to you.

Somebody definitely bought some boiled peanuts up there. How were they? Those are gone. Are they salty? Amazing. No, you know what? Those are gone. Were they salty? Amazing. Um, no. You know what? Those were flavored. Those were flavored, the ones they sent up there. I do like mine not salty, salty, but just with a pinch of salt. Just the right amount of salt. I miss one on the

flights. They used to give you the honey roasted peanuts. They still do. I know those aren't that good for you because it's honey roasted, so it kind of takes away the nutritional. Oh, man. But they are amazing. They still do. I love honey. It's an allergy. I like honey roasted, so it kind of takes away the nutritional. Oh, man. But they are amazing. No, they still do it. I love honey roasted. It's an allergy.

I like honey roasted cashews. Honey roasted cashews is what hits hard. The honey roasted peanuts, they're like, eh, I like the honey roasted cashews. Mm-hmm. My goodness. All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. It's kind of greedy morning talk.

All right. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, let's talk about this student loan forgiveness policy. The student debt relief plan will tell you who can qualify and how much you're going to get. And we'll talk about extensions for people who have to pay back student loans. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. 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. Start your own country.

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. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best

Listen to Civic Cipher every Saturday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where are we starting, Yeezy? Well, let's start with this whole student loan forgiveness policy. This is the so-called student debt relief plan. So the deadline for the restart of payments for the $1.7 trillion in federal student loans is coming up. And so Joe Biden announced yesterday a plan to cancel debt for a subset of Americans and also to keep that pandemic

era pause on repayments. So speaking from the White House's Roosevelt Room, Joe Biden outlined his plan to forgive tens of thousands of dollars for individuals who earn less than $125,000 per year. Here's what he had to say. Student loan payments pause is going to end. It's going to end December 30th. I'm extending to December 31st, 2022,

and it's going to end at that time. It's time for the payments to resume. Second, using the authority Congress granted the Department of will have their debt reduced $20,000. Working and middle-class people making under $125,000 a year. You make more than that, you don't qualify. So in other words, if you got a Pell Grant, that would mean that you could get $20,000. And that is 60% of borrowers do have Pell Grants. And so that's the larger forgiveness.

And a lot of people, so the majority of people will qualify for that $20,000. Now is that per year or is that your full college? That's the full thing. But that is actually going to wipe out a lot of people who still owe money a lot of their debt. So that could wipe out some people if you still only owe owe 20,000 but you had a Pell Grant you know that'll wipe away all of that and if you still only owe 10,000. I just wondered like a lot of these other countries are able to allow people to go to college for free like if you look at Howard University right HBCU their tuition is $30,000 a year so four years that's $120,000 right now so that's $30,000 a year. So four years, that's $120,000, right? Now, so that $20,000,

I still have $100,000 to pay. And $20,000 is great. I'm not knocking that. But if other places can do it and other countries can do it, why can't we figure out how to do that? Well, he could still get taken to court because there's these loan servicing agencies. So if you get a government loan,

it's different than if you get a private loan. So some of these companies are going to lose revenue and they could take Joe Biden to court in that case. Listen, I wish that he could wipe all of the loans, wipe all the loans out the way they forgave all the PPP loans, but canceling $10,000 in student loan debt for some is what he promised on the campaign trail.

So I'm not mad at it. You know, he kept the campaign promise. That's all you can hope for with these politicians, that they do what they said, you they were going to do and he did it because that's what he's been promising the whole time he promised him to cancel ten thousand dollars in student loan debt for some and that's why like you know when these politicians like secretary of education uh miguel cardona and vice president kamala harris remember when we would ask them about the ten thousand dollars biden promised and they would sound crazy and get to tap dancing around the issue?

They don't have to do that anymore because he did it. Well, here's how you apply for relief, because I know a lot of people have questions. In the coming weeks, the Department of Education will lay out in detail a short and simple form to apply for this relief, along with information when this application process opens. By resuming student loan payments at the same time as we provide targeted relief, we're taking an economically responsible course. As a consequence, about $50 billion a year will start coming back into the Treasury because of resumption of debt. Independent experts agree that these actions taken together will provide real benefits for families without meaningful effect on inflation.

Now, if everybody does claim their relief that they're entitled to, 43 million federal student loan borrowers will benefit, and of those 20 million will have their debt completely canceled. And as far as questions about how you're going to pay for this, where is the money coming from? Joe Biden said there's plenty of deficit reduction that will pay for these proposals. He said, I will never apologize for helping working people and middle class Americans. Now, according to a law professor at Fordham University, John Brooks, he said the president has some pretty broad authority under the Higher Education Act. A lot depends on the size of the cancellation. The smaller the amount of cancellation,

the easier the question is. Wiping out all student debt with a single stroke might be tougher, but the president, through the Secretary of Education, does have the power to adjust the amount of loan principal that any borrower has. Yeah, I'm telling you, they only ask where the money is coming from when it's actually going to people. Like, they sent $3 billion to Ukraine just yesterday or the day before yesterday. They'll approve an $850 million defense budget. $850 billion

defense budget and nobody will complain. I don't want to hear about where that money is coming from. Please don't let this be a situation like the small business loans that happened during the pandemic where black people couldn't get the relief they needed because they didn't properly know how to fill out paperwork to get the funding. I hope this isn't one of those situations. Well, that is your front page news.

All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. I'm darling. 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. Hello, who's this? How's it going, DJ? It's Dennis from New Jersey. Hey, Dennis, good morning. Oh, our friend from New Jersey. Good morning, Angelie. Good morning.

Angelie, while you're on, may I ask you a quick question? For your show, do I need a ticket to the event that's held by Barclays? Just come on through. You're supposed to go online and get one. It's free, but we'll be fine. We'll have some tickets for you there.

Thank you kindly. I just wanted to say I really enjoyed the auto show in Atlantic City. It was spectacular. Oh, thank you, man. You enjoyed it? Did you bring the kids and family as well or no? No, I came in myself,

but I can tell easily that you could just walk around forever. Yes. Because you would always find something new. Yes. Well, thank you for joining us, man. Thanks for always supporting us, man. We appreciate you.

Absolutely. You have a wonderful day, guys. You too now. Cool guy, man. I like that guy. I wish he'd have came up to me and told me who he was. Hello, who's this? This is Tyrio.

Who this is? DJ Envy. Angel of the East, Charlemagne the God. Yes, Tyrio. Peace, King. Good morning. What's up? I'm still in no crazy style. I'm Charlemagne, so it's all good.

But anyway, to make a long story short, I was listening to y'all interview yesterday with Miss Sarita. Sarita Stipe. Huh? Sarita Stipe. Mm-hmm. Exactly. And she was telling me about her influence about music.

And then I have a cousin that I actually told a judge that Tupac made him do it. And I thought he was joking until I heard what she was saying about Eve. And I just want that to be one of your topics for the day, man. How do music impact people, man? Right. Have you ever been impacted by music? Is there a song that made you want to do something? Keep sweating,

make it last forever. That's a good influence. Listen, it's so much different records that have influenced us growing up. I don't know why we lie

and act like music don't have an influence on us. It has an influence on the way we talk, the way we dress, you know, our actions. I know people

who've gone to college because of certain artists. You know what I mean? So why do we act like music don't have an influence? It absolutely does. But I'm saying the impact. No, you're right. The City Girls made me want a guy that's gonna swipe that visa.

Go ahead. I ain't messing with y'all this morning. But if y'all birthday comes up, you're on the 3rd, I'm on the fourth. That's right. We're about to celebrate. Virgo season is officially here. Let's do it.

All right, brother. Yeah. I didn't hear the conversation yesterday, but that is a good topic, you know what I mean? Because music has influenced so much. Like, I moved out of my mama's house because of, you know, TLC, no scrubs, and because of OutKast and Goody Mob, get up, get out, and get something. Yeah, she was saying that yesterday that she didn't snitch

because she remember listening to Rough Riders, Eve, do Ride or Die. So she said that's the reason why she didn't snitch, and she held it down, and she had to serve 10 years because of that at 19. A lot of people don't snitch. I mean, that's street code, but when you take that street code and amplify it in music, yeah, that becomes a message, of course. That's right. Get it off your chest, 800-585-1051.

If you need the event, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. All right. Well, it appears that Offset is suing Quality Control. There's also rumors that the Migos have broken up.

And I guess they don't follow each other, Offset and then Quavo, and take off anymore. Now, Offset posted on Twitter, this new chapter for me is personal and P from Quality Control said the last lawsuit was filed publicly and dismissed quietly. Let's see how this one go. Been too real for all this lame-ish. Everyone know the real problem. And Offset said N-Words act like

I'm the problem. I paid millions to get my rights back. You blackballed me. I ain't said ish one time. Homie, I ain't spoke to you in two years. Now I drop and you want your name on my credit? And then that's when P from Quality Control let people know the show must go on. Here he is with Lil Baby.

Hey, baby. You see what that say on the back? Read what that say on the back. Show must go on. Show must go on. All right, now, Pete also went on Twitter and said, new single, Lakia, dropped tomorrow night, back to business.

Docufilm, Lil Baby, dropped Friday in 150 countries. New Lil Baby album on the way. New Quavo takeoff album on the way, back to business. New Icewear Vezzo, DJ Drama, Gangsta Grills edition on the way. He went on and on to talk about what else he has and said,

back to business. No time for distractions. Now, Cardi B weighed in and said, offset bought himself out of his QC deal after they didn't want to renegotiate his contract. I'm tired of people trying to make offset look like the bad guy. Enough is enough.

Yeah. I mean, that's all interesting because, you know, if it's one thing we know about QC, they really ride for their artists. You know know P and Coach really care about their artists but business is business so I have no idea who's right and wrong in this situation I just hope that you know those brothers resolve it because it sounds like something for the lawyers together because

I don't know if he you know if he did buy himself out of his contract and had his lawyers negotiate that then he'll be in the right and if he didn't then, then he won't. So it's really something that social media is not going to help you. It's the lawyers. It could have been anything. He could have bought himself out the contract. But for the next two albums, they get a percentage or something like that.

It could be anything. But like Charlamagne said, I just hope them brothers work it out. They came up together. So I hope they're able to fix their differences. Yeah, they're very instrumental for each other's success. Yeah, and I also saw Offset saying how he just, you know, he just, he wants to grow.

He wants to grow as an artist. You know what I mean? So sometimes, you know, the business may prevent you from doing that outside of what you originally signed. So like I said, I just hope they both resolve it all amicably. Yeah. I mean, I think about like with Wu-Tang as a group, they were signed to Loud Records, but then each of them went and got their solo deals at different places. Yeah. I mean, I think about like with Wu-Tang as a group, they were signed to Loud Records, but then each of them

went and got their solo deals at different places. Yep. Alright, now Nick Cannon has his 10th child on the way. I thought he was stopping. And that's his third child with Brittany Bell. So he revealed that. He said time stopped and this happened. And then there's a video of them having a

maternity shoot. She looks to be several months pregnant. And yes, again, that's their third child together. They welcomed their son, Golden, in 2017 and Powerful Queen in 2020. Okay. Well, Nick Cannon. Drop one of the clues, Bonsford. Nick Cannon, he is now tied with Eddie Murphy with 10 kids. Will he go for 11, people?

Might be another one on the way. A cool dozen. By the way, I'm sure it is. I'm sure it is. You might as well just copy and paste this headline for the rest of the time you're on Breakfast Club and when you start your new show, Yee. Nick Cannon is expecting a baby. How many times have you said that in the past year?

A lot. At least seven in the last time at the Breakfast Club. At least seven, eight. Remember he was celibate for like a month? Oh, nobody believed that. Selling a bit of what? Selling a bit of sperm for people whose sperm don't work? Please.

All right. Vanessa Bryant, a federal jury, awarded her $16 million in a lawsuit against L.A. County over the alleged distribution of photos from the crash site where Kobe Bryant and their daughter Gianna died. Another plaintiff, Chris Chester, was awarded $15 million in that same lawsuit. That is for emotional distress, future suffering, and past suffering, and all of that. So Vanessa Bryant did cry with her hands in a prayer position as the verdict was read. And she left afterwards.

She did not talk to reporters and the jury reportedly deliberated for only a few hours after 10 days of testimony. So part of the payments was you know, you cannot share pictures of deceased people

and so you have to have the sufficient training and policies. The fire department, they said lacks that sufficient training and policies. And fire department, they said, lacks that sufficient training and policies. And that was on Kobe Bryant Day, too, right? 8-24. Yeah, so I'm just happy that she was able to go to court and get the money. Obviously, it's still traumatizing for her. But at least she came out.

Yeah, $16 million is cool, but it's not enough. No amount of money is gonna be enough but they should've did something like you know give her you know

81 million for the 81 points she scored or something crazy like 16 million not enough not for that wasn't what she had

to go through can you imagine that that's the last thing you would wanna see when you're already traumatized and you oh my god

I don't even wanna think about it God bless that family yeah and the conversations that they were having so insensitive, like how dare you do that? These are people's lives and family members that have to see this and hear this. And you a different level of groupie,

you know what type of groupie you ought to be doing that? Like you're only showing those off. Cause it's the remains of Kobe Bryant and his daughter. Like that's the only reason like that's, that's corny. Corny is an understatement. All right. Well, that's the only reason. Like, that's corny. Corny's an understatement. All right, well, that is your rumor report. All right, well, we got front page news next.

What are we talking about? Yes, and let's talk about restrictive state abortion laws. They're trigger laws that are set to take effect this week that is going to put access to abortion further out of the reach for millions of women. All right, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get some front page news. Where we starting, Yeezy?

Well, a lot of restrictive state abortion laws, including so-called trigger laws, are going to take effect this week. And that'll make it harder for about 10.1 million women of reproductive age in five different states to get access to abortion. So their access will be impacted by these laws. Idaho, Tennessee and Texas trigger laws will take place in those three states starting today, banning abortions with few exceptions. And there's still litigation that continues around certain aspects of that. And then on Friday, North Dakota's trigger law that bans abortions in most circumstances is set to take effect. And then on Saturday, an Oklahoma law enacting higher criminal penalties for performing illegal abortions takes effect. That adds to the already tough laws they have there that prohibit that procedure.

So just making sure that you guys are aware of what's going on once Roe versus Wade was overturned. All right. Now let's talk about Joe Biden's student loan forgiveness policy, how you can apply, who qualifies, all of those things. So Joe Biden says that he is going to forgive $10,000 worth of student loans per person for individuals who earn less than $125,000 a year. And if you have a Pell Grant and you use one of those to pay for college, that's given to

low-income borrowers, then you qualify for up to $20,000 in debt forgiveness. Here's what he said. Student loan payments pause is going to end. It's going to end December 30. I'm extending to December 31st, 2022, and it's going to end at that time. It's time for the payments to resume. Second, using the authority Congress granted the Department of Education, we will forgive $10,000 in outstanding federal student loans. In addition, students who come from low-income families, which allowed them to qualify to receive a Pell Grant, will have their debt reduced $20,000. Working and middle class people making under $125,000 a year. You make more than that, you don't qualify. And that $125,000 is for the 2020 or 2021 tax year.

So if you earn less than that in those years, then you should qualify. And if all borrowers claim the relief that they're entitled to, that means 43 million federal student loan borrowers will benefit, and of those, 20 million will have their debt completely canceled. Yo, did Biden pause that in the beginning? He did say pause. I thought he said pause.

When I give student loan forgiveness, did he say pause? Yeah, it's a pause on paying back those student loans that happened during the pandemic. Oh, I thought he said something gay. No, I thought a pause on paying back those student loans that happened during the pandemic. Oh! I thought he said something gay. I thought he said something A-O. That's why he paused. He said something forgiveness. Me too. That's what I thought

too. That's what I thought too. Can we hear it again from the top? What he said? Oh my gosh. Student loan payments pause is gonna end. Student loan payments pause. Whoa! What are them students paying you for? What he said like that? Student payment pause is going to end. Student payment pause. Whoa. What are them students paying you for?

Joe, why would he say it like that? And I know people are saying it should be more money, but the reality is this is what he promised on the campaign trail. And this is what I've been asking these politicians. You know, when they're in office, this is all I want them to do. I want them to keep their promises. Okay? That's all I want my politicians to do, especially when it's promises that I know made people go out and vote for them.

And a lot of people voted for Biden because of his student loan forgiveness promise. He promised $10,000. He delivered the $10,000. I can't be mad at him. And according to John Brooks, who's a law professor at Fordham University, that is a major cancellation because it is within the president's authority. But he did say that the size of the cancellation does matter. The smaller the amount of cancellation, the easier it is to get it done. But wiping out all of student debt with a single stroke is a lot tougher.

And he does have the authority. I don't believe that. Secretary of Education. Well, I believe it's tougher. I mean, this is, you know, it's federal fiscal policy. So I'm sure it would be harder to get that done yeah but the reason i don't believe that is because they can uh they forgave all the pvp loans with with no problem well like they gave out billions and billions and billions of dollars and just wiped it away like so they they could just and by the way they acted like they couldn't

give out this ten thousand dollars like it was so hard to do you we would ask the secretary of education and ask the vp and they'd be like they act like it was so hard to do. We would ask the secretary of education and ask the VP and they'd be like, they act like it was so difficult. And now it's just all of a sudden got done. But you know why? Because it's a midterm election year and they got to put some points on the board. So I'm not mad at it. Well, let's open up the phone lines.

800-585-1051. What are your thoughts on the $10,000 forgiveness, right? I mean, me personally, I see all the money they give to all these other countries i seen every time they try to bail everybody out with all these ppp loans and all these huge corporations giving the millions and millions and millions of dollars other countries figured it out why can't we that's my thoughts but let's talk about it i agree with that but that to me that's a whole other conversation because the reality is this is what he promised. He didn't promise anything more. He didn't promise anything less.

He said $10,000 in student loan debt forgiveness. That's what he said on the campaign trail. So he got it done. Do I agree it should be more? Absolutely. Let's talk about it. This is what he promised. 800-585-1051.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Talk about it. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are the Breakfast Club. Now, Joe Biden recently said that he's excusing $10,000, correct? Well, $10,000 if you make less than $125,000. And if you have a Pell Grant, which is for a lower income, then you'll get $20,000 excused. So we're asking 800-585-1051. What are your thoughts? What are you thinking?

I mean, I wish I would have had that. You know, it took me 12 years to pay back my student loans and it was definitely a struggle. And it is going to forgive a lot of student loans for people who, you know, don't have as much left to pay off. And so I think it does help a lot. And so I'm glad it happened. I don't think it's happened before. And yeah, I think it's a positive thing. Yeah, I agree with you. I mean, it's glad anytime anybody can take any type of money off. But I do wish it was a lot more. And especially when I see them helping so many other countries and helping so many other corporations and these corporations that are making billions of dollars.

And all these other countries are able to allow their residents and citizens to get school loans for free you know that way they go to school for free so um i absolutely love it but i wish there was more charlemagne yeah i mean you know listen that was his campaign promise he's been on that he's been on the whole um ten thousand dollars in student loan forgiveness so i respect it you, I know any relief is great relief, especially at a time like this when people are struggling so much financially. And yes, I wish it was more.

But once again, the reality is this was his campaign promise. It was politicians out there who wanted to wipe away the debt altogether, like Bernie Sanders. But that's not who people voted for. They voted for, you know, Joe Biden. And there's politicians who didn't want anybody to get anything.

That is true, too. Well, let's go to the phone lines. Let's talk to the people. Hello, who's this? This is Dee. Hey, Dee, good morning. Where are you calling from? I'm in North Carolina.

All right. What's your thoughts on the $10,000 forgiveness? I don't think it's enough money. First of all, you know, they calculate those student loan payments into the ability to buy a house. So a lot of people are still counting out. It's a lot of older adults who got like over a hundred, maybe $200,000 worth of student loan debt. And when you go to buy a house, they say no, because the payment that they factor in is too

much. That is true. He gave way too much money to ukraine with no blinks no vote it didn't take him no time but all of a sudden these ten thousand dollars you got a hard time giving ten thousand dollars and then um i don't know if you guys read the fine print it says up to ten thousand dollars i thought ten thousand was the minimum yeah okay yeah i thought,000 was the minimum. Oh, okay. Yeah, I thought $10,000 was the minimum. And that's ridiculous. So, you know, luckily, I make more than six figures. So, you know, it might hurt me. But, you know, other people, it's a lot of money. I mean, that's no money.

$10,000, that's interest. Now, don't say that now. That is a lot of money to some of these people, especially people that are doing horribly financially right now. I mean, yeah, some people are just going to get out of it to the low end. Yeah, it's a lot. It's going to be a lot of money to some of these people, especially people that are doing horribly financially right now. Yeah, it's a lot. It's going to be a lot for some people, but then other people, it's really not. I still believe he could have gave way more. He could have given 50.

Yeah, it's not enough for your balling ass. And let's be clear. The Republicans are saying that this is unfair, and they don't think uh this is something that even should be done at all they slam this they're upset about it well it's not that's the problem though it's not just it's not just republicans politicians have a problem with actually giving money to people it is so strange to me whenever it's people that actually need money they can never find it they don't know where the money coming from but when there's money for wars, you know, that money comes out of nowhere. They get billions of Ukraine.

They get it immediately. Bailouts as well. Corporations, yeah, nobody has any problem with wondering where that money comes from. But when it's something for the people, now all of a sudden everybody's like, where are we going to get the money? Hello, who's this? Hey, good morning. This is Jay from Myrtle Beach. Hey, Jay, good morning. Myrtle from Myrtle Beach. Hey, Jay. Good morning.

Myrtle. What's up, Envy? Yeah. Listen, man. I'm thankful for Biden. I'm grateful. I voted for Biden personally, and I'm grateful. I was looking forward to this.

Because for people like me, I went to a community college. So my total, my loan is only like $27,000. And I got the Pell Grant. So if I get $27,000, I'm sitting outside work trying to figure out how to apply right now. We're going to find out

in the coming days. So we'll get all that information and make sure we pass it on too. No, that's the most important part. That's the most important part because when they were giving them small business loans out, that's why a lot of people

couldn't get small business loans because they didn't know how to properly fill out the paperwork. It was the people who could properly fill out the paperwork that got that money faster, even the scammers. The scammers knew how to fill out the paperwork better than some people who actually needed it. 800-585-1051. So Joe Biden said that he is keeping his promise.

$10,000 he's giving everybody for their school loans. Possibly could be more. What are your thoughts? Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Possibly could be more. What are your thoughts? Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about Joe Biden. He is, I guess, forgiving $10,000 and more. Can we hear it? Student loan payments pause is going to end. It's going to end December 30. I'm extending to December 31st, 2022, and it's going to end at that time. It's time for the payments to resume. Second, using the authority Congress granted the Department of

Education, we will forgive $10,000 in outstanding federal student loans. In addition, students who come from low-income families, which allowed them to qualify to receive a Pell Grant, will have their debt reduced $20,000. Working and middle-class people making under $125,000 a year. You make more than that, you don't qualify. So we're asking 800-585-1051. What are your thoughts on this? Hello, who's this? Hello, how are you? Good morning. What's your name? Brooklyn? Hello, who's this? Hello, how are you? Good morning.

What's your name? Brooklyn Renee. How are you guys? Hey, Brooklyn Renee. Talk to us. What are your thoughts? This student loan thing is just a crazy thing. I retired. I was in a loan forgiveness program, right? You have to make 120 payments, right?

Now, I made, I got 18 payments left. They're going to tell me, after I retire in 38 years, I got to work. Doggone, a non-profit job, or go back to work, work $35. I only can make one payment at a time because I was going to take it with my deferred comp money and pay it off. But that's not an option because you only can pay one payment a month. So it's like you're stuck in this bundle where you can't get out. I'm going to talk to Fed loan, everything.

Now, this forgiveness program, that ain't working for me because $10,000 ain't going to do me no good. Then on top of that, I worked for AmeriCorps for three sessions, and they give you $3,000. They can't find my money. My first loan person was Sally Mae, and that don't qualify to dismiss because it has to be a school that got a problem.

It is too confusing, too frustrating. You know, I wrote the president three times. He ain't answered me back. Somebody else in the office answered me back. It's like it's insane, you know? So let me ask you a question. You don't want the $10,000 is what you're saying? I don't qualify for the $10,000.

They said you have to make $100,000. But if you did, would you want it? That's not an option. You know why? Because I have a good pension, okay, even though I'm getting one. That's another thing. I'm getting one-third of a door one pension since doggone January

because they're so backed up. That's not an option for me. I'm going to be stuck with this stupid loan, but I'm going to keep writing. I'm just disgusted with the whole thing. For you to be forgiven, the first one has to be a school. I went to a university. I went to

a city college in New York. Okay, I got my master's. It's just insane. Why do you say you don't qualify? He said $10,000, right? You have to make $125,000. No, you have to make less than $125,000. I don't make that.

I know, you make less. That means you're good. Oh, you make more than that. Yes. Oh, you make more than that. Yes. Okay. Oh, okay. So it's like, even the one from before, it's not an option for me. I'm going to keep writing them because I'm tired.

Keep writing. He's going to think I'm a stalker or something. Find something for me. Because the first one was your school. You had to have an issue with your school. And those are those little side colleges and stuff. But if you was in a university, everything was good. Okay? So it's just bull.

I'm just frustrated. I don't want to take my deferred comp, my money that I saved and worked for and paid off this loan. I'm 36 years. And I'm just like tired. Damn. It's just disgusting.

Thank you for calling in, mama. I work for everybody. Y'all have a nice day. Bye. You too. Let's go to another caller. Hello, who's this? This is Jack.

Hey, what are your thoughts, Jack? He's not upset, Jack. Why you sound so mad, Jack? Oh, I'm not mad. Good morning. Sorry, guys. Oh, okay. Okay.

What's your thoughts, Jack? You sound a little angry. You definitely sound a little angry, Jack. Like angry white man. Oh, you're going there. Talk to us, Jack. What's happening? Right off the bat, I think the loan forgiveness is just weak pandering.

And I think it's unfair and unfair against those people that have worked the hardest. When you do that, you de-incentivize people from working hard. That hurts the country. And it's just a bad plan. You guys compared it to the PPP loan. And the PPP loans or whatever that PPP situation was, that was fair. Because it was unbiased. It didn't hurt people that worked hard.

It was definitely biased. It was biased. It was systemically proven that it was biased. How do you figure that? There are a lot of major corporations that got that money that really didn't need it. Okay. Yeah, before small

minority-owned businesses. Yeah, and then for people who like, you know, for a small business, you might pay people cash, you might not have the right paperwork. It's facts, Jack. If you didn't have a good accountant that could apply for it for you, it was a lot of paperwork that was confusing. Oh, see, now you're making stuff up

because I am a small business owner and I did a PPP loan and it was the easiest application that I've done for anything in my life. You do know that a lot of people that deserve to get it didn't get it though, right? And that they ran out of money. Well, you know, again, you guys...

My brother, my brother, my brother, my brother Jack, Jack, Jack. I did that one, man. They did run out of money. Well, Jack, not only that, Jack. I mean, there's a million articles from the New York Times to the Washington Post that talked about the racial bias that skewed small business relief lending. So, I mean, you know, you can sit here and say that's not a fact, but it was absolutely a fact. You know what?

You can have a study. Bro, it's a fact. No, it's a fact that racial racial bias affected who received ppp law i do know personally a lot of people who applied that should have gotten it doesn't make it just saying that doesn't make it true i they didn't ask my rate when i received it that it was like a three question application bing bang, paid me the money. And so, you know, it's about getting it together and clicking three buttons

that they paid the PPP. Do you know black business owners were more likely to get PPP loans from online lenders than from banks? And, I mean, it's been documented a million times how racially biased

the bank system is. You do agree with that, right? I don't think that made sense, what you just said. With all due respect, you said they were like, they were black business owners were more likely to get it from local banks. Okay. What's that mean? No, I said online.

I said online lenders then from banks. So they don't see you. But let me ask you this. So you think that there shouldn't be any student debt loan forgiveness? The only way you could get the PPP loan was by online. It wasn't in person. So that was an invalid point. So go ahead, ma'am. Sorry. I was asking you. So you think that there shouldn't be any student uh loan forgiveness i do not think so i i think it can that's fine but how do you reconcile that with those people that you know did not go to college that are out there digging ditches or being a plumber or electrician or working hard uh because they did not have the

funds to go to college they had to support their families or whatever they sacrificed. So now you're punishing them by forgiving loans for college students that took advantage of college lending. So it's imbalanced. And I think that's unfair. I think he's entitled to his opinion yeah yeah he mr ass is entitled to his opinion but jack listen student i want to ask you this about student loan debt you think that you think in the future it should be set up with a forgiveness plan in place like ppp because

college loans were set up to take out the loan with intentions of paying it back so you know that's just how it's designed you think in the future student loan debt should be set up with more of a forgiveness plan like PPP was? What do you think about that? I think if the government wants to take a fair action, they should go after the universities to lower their pricing. You know, it's just got to be equal to everybody. In nature, we reward those that advance themselves right so i think it's against

nature to to first give people money to go to school uh when others are sacrificing for instance i waited to get married yeah i waited to get married and have kids until i could afford it right i didn't get I was out there working. So I sacrificed and many people maybe skip medical care for themselves and make other sacrifices to be responsible. What's wrong with assistance, Jack? I just want to say, but even with PPP loans, does that mean that you're punishing people who don't own businesses?

No, because they're employing people. That's the purpose of it is they're keeping their employees, and that's why they got the PPP loans. Oh, we'll see. That's not targeting. Well, Jack, you know a lot of people didn't go to college because they can't afford to go to college, and they can't afford to do it. That's why they got loans.

Or helping with the loans. And it just doesn't help minorities. It helps white people. It helps Asian people. It helps black people. It helps Spanish people. It helps everybody. But the fact that you can now go to school and not have to work until you're 60 years old paying off your school loan and get some type of help, that's what we're trying to offer people.

Not just minorities, not blacks, not Spanish. They didn't put a little side and said only black people, Jack. They said for everybody. Jack is a bull of my butt. Jack, we gotta go. jack we gotta go it is it is one more thank you thank you always racial people that are working hardest and saved and paid uh cash for their college or paid their loans off already those are the people i will say this i went to college i paid off my student loans and i'm not mad at other people not having to have that crippling effect of having to pay that monthly payment every month and working. I remember I was making like $23,000 a year and paying student loans at the same time.

And I kept having to defer my loans. But I think this is a great thing and a great benefit. And just because I didn't get it doesn't mean that I don't want other people to not get it. All right. Well, we got rumors on the way. But it's simple for me. Why wouldn't you just provide somebody assistance? Why are you mad at people receiving some type of assistance? It's really just that simple. And it was a campaign promise.

He kept it. He always said it was going to be $10,000 in student loan debt. If you wanted someone who wanted to erase all the student loan debt or who wanted to erase more than $10,000, then you should have voted for that person. Because Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders wanted to do all the student loan debt or who wanted to erase more than $10,000, then you should have voted for that person. Because Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders wanted to do more. Or all. If you wanted that, you should have voted for them.

All right. Well, we got rumors on the way. Yes, and let's talk about Megan Thee Stallion and Young Miami. Okay, let's talk about their interview that is going to be dropping, I believe, today. All right, we'll get to it next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Love and Hip Hop Miami. As you know last year Ray J filed for divorce from Princess Love, and now a lot of that situation is playing out on the show. And here's a clip that actually went viral. And tell me what you think. One. Oh, one. Okay.

Guess how many I've ever talked to in our relationship? None. You're a liar. All you want to do is- You grew a connection with somebody. You like somebody. I've never liked nobody that's a problem whether i got my by a random in the alley or not i don't know this name it makes it better yet you like it and building a relationship with somebody is deep and i've never done that so it's okay for him to sleep with a bunch of women as long as he

doesn't care about them but let her form a bond with one person, and that's the problem. Hey, I get what he's saying. And by the way, that's a great topic. Like, what's the worst cheating violation? Physical contact or an emotional bond? Because here's the thing. Ray J can say that, but let Princess Love give somebody fellatio in the alley and use the same rhetoric.

All I did was give him some in the alley. The other issue she had was that Ray J had other women wearing her clothing in their house. Oh, no, see, that's weird. I didn't know that. Yeah, that's wild. By the way, I don't believe that happened.

Where you get that information from? That was part of the episode. It was part of the conversation they were having. And he said... No, black men don't cheat. That's wild. And he said, I almost died in the hospital and I'm dying and you're still thinking about bitches wearing your clothes. That's not right. That, ye, black men don't cheat.

You making this conversation. I gracefully bow out of this conversation. I don't know. Yeah, I don't. Wearing my clothes? Yeah, that's a violation. Envy, let's go back to flirting with each other. I don't believe this.

The charge is being brought against our good brother Ray J this morning. Imagine your woman had another guy wearing your robe. I don't know what you're talking about, G. I don't know. This is wild. If Ray J's

doing stuff like this, we gotta have an emergency meeting with our brother Ray J. We gotta have an emergency meeting and our brother, Ray J. Absolutely. No, we got to have an emergency meeting and sit him down because this is too much. I don't believe this stuff. All right, well, that is your rumor report. All right, Charlamagne, now,

The devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Yes, donkey of the day for Thursday, August 25th. It is Thursday, right Day for Thursday, August 25th. It is Thursday, right? I be getting my days wrong. I said it was Thursday on Monday, so technically that would make today Sunday in my world.

But don't listen to me. I'm just halfway a word that begins with re and rhymes with started that we can't say anymore. So listen, Donkey of the Day for today is going to a school district in Missouri. I'm talking the whole school district as a staff record label and mother effing crew. OK, it's the Casper Lee School District to be exact, because they recently announced that it will reinstate spanking this school year. That's right. Good old fashioned corporal punishment. But of course, with a parental caveat, let's go to KYC for the report, please. An old school discipline method is returning to some Missouri schools.

Madison Horner spoke to parents and administrators at Cassville schools about its decision to bring corporal punishment back. Cassville Superintendent Merlin Johnson tells me the policy change is a result of a survey sent out to staff, students and parents in May. One of the suggestions that came out was concerns about student discipline, and so we reacted by implementing several different strategies, corporal punishment being one of them. Dr. Johnson says this change will give principals one more disciplinary option before students receive more serious punishments such as suspensions. Administrators say it would be the last resort for parents and faculty members

if other means of discipline do not work. They will allow spanking in schools, but only as a last resort and with written permission from parents. Any parent that allows their child to be beat by anyone in this school district is a complete and total sucker. I'm telling you right now, paddling a child, beating a child, sp child spanking a child whatever you want to call it is the most useless form of punishment ever i am triggered by this story because they have a picture uh what what is this i think it's the usa today they have a picture in the usa today right uh of a wooden paddle that has holes in it

anybody who went to berkeley middle school in monks corner south carolina in the 1900s remembers the assistant principal by the name of you know what i only want to say his name because people be attempting lawsuits for the craziest things so i won't say his name but he was a big-ass boss hog looking white man who had a wooden paddle with holes in it and boy he used to tear our asses up okay on the contrast it was another assistant principal at berkeley middle school whose name i won't say he was black and he had a little deformed hand right and he used to paddle us but he wasn't as strong as the other dude okay i don't know if it's because he had a deformed hand you know it was really just a nub so maybe because he had a deformed hand he couldn't grip the paddle like a baseball bat with both hands and swing the paddle with all his might and his paddle didn't

have holes in it so i figured between uh the big white man size right the fact he could hold his paddle with two hands and the fact he had holes in his wooden paddle so the wind couldn't slow the velocity of that wood to your ass paws down you know that's why he hit so hard and me being the shite i am i used to beg to not be sent to the principal with the nubby hand who didn't hit as hard because i knew that if i acted like he was the one i feared the most that's why he hit so hard. And me being the shite that I am, I used to beg to not be sent to the principal with the nubby hand who didn't hit as hard because I knew that if I acted like he was the one I feared the most, that's what he would send me. The moral of the story is those beatings did nothing for me. Okay?

They did absolutely nothing but scarred me for life. And I know it takes a village to raise a child, but those two principals weren't part of my village. All right? When we say village, we mean the people who can sit at your grandma's house and get a plate. If you can sit at grandma's house and get a plate, you part of the village. But here's another thing. Our parents should have never given all those people the authority to put hands on us either. All these people dealing with their own personal problems and personal traumas, projecting that pain on the kids. Okay. I'm saying

all that to say, I don't believe in beatings on any level no corporal punishment spankings paddlings none of that i don't put hands on my own turn so i'm i'm not gonna give somebody else permission to do that okay now we can get into a whole debate on whether or not you know uh folks should spank their own children but i am absolutely against giving a school permission to put hands on my child it's too many you know covert racists on this planet too many covert child abusers in these positions of power to allow this all right you're not about to be traumatizing my kids because you mad all right i don't like beatings all right at all i literally was walking downstairs with an extension cord yesterday and i said to, how could my father have ever

beaten me with one of these? Okay. It comes a point in time where we have to realize the punishment we received this churn was actually abuse. All right. It's nonsense. It's nonsense that we learned from our oppressors the same way to white slave owners, you know, used to, uh, beat us, beat our ancestors to keep them in line. It's the same energy that is being administered in these corporal punishments. And just like a lot of the enslaved, it didn't cause us to get in line. It caused us to rebel and hate the person on the other end of that whip, or in this case, a paddle or belt or extension cord, whatever it is. Once again, if you are a parent who gives this school or any school permission to beat your kids,

then guess what? You need your ass beat. Okay? You a complete and total sucker. Please let Remy Ma give the Cassville School District in Missouri the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw! Hee-haw! You stupid

mother f***er. You dumb. Alright, well thank you for that theology today. Yeah, and I agree. Discipline is necessary for good upbringing, but not physical abuse. All right? There's a difference, and discipline doesn't have to be physical at all. Miss me with that. And don't come at me with that spare the rod rhetoric from the Bible.

Okay? Take that rod and shove it up your own ass. Geesh. All right. I'm excited just now. Whoa. Well. All right. I'm excited just now. Whoa. Well, all right. Well, when we come back,

Nadine Sutherland will be joining us. She's going to be performing at Angela Yee Day this Saturday in Brooklyn. Yeah, she started off as an artist

at the age of 11, but you know her from some songs like Action with Tara Fabulous, Wicked. Can I say the D word? Mm-hmm.

I mean, it's a whole different thing. Of course, the song with Snow and Buju Bantan and Beanie Man and all of that. What's the D word? Wicked. Wicky icky. Wicky icky. Ooh-ah.

Ooh-ah. I forget the song name. All right. Well, we're going to be touching the... Like Richard? Yes. Yes. You know that song with Buju Bantan?

Got you. Wicked. Okay. Icky. All right. Well, Nadine Sutherland will be joining us when we come back. Like the pants. The clothing line.

So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Thursday in December is going to be 43 years. Wow. Wow. Yeah, I won Tasty Talent Contest

when I was 11 in Jamaica. I love to boast, I was the first winner. There you go. And then immediately I started working with Tuff Gong and at the helm at that time

was Bob Marley. So, I had the wonderful experience of working. My first recording session was with Bob. Who can say that? My first record was with Bob who can say that my first record

immediately say that because sometimes I still pinch myself like you know well tell us how it was getting into the industry back then and how your grind was and the journey was when you first started off it was so natural and a little bit easy for me because I was always a little girl singing on stage singing around the community so I guess I was considered somewhat a little bit precocious. Grandmother catch me singing on a jukebox and give me two slap in my head. It was, you know, young ladies were not supposed to be able to move their waistline like how I did as a little child.

You know, and then somebody saw me and it was somebody in my community who entered Tasty Talent Contest. And he came back and he was like, Nadine, I think it would be good for you. And I did it. The first round, I won. And in the second round, the grand finals, which was in December, I won. And part of my prize was a recording contract with Tufkong.

Bob at that time was alive. That was his vision. Because, you know, if you know Bob Marley's story, I heard from my father that his name, the Wailers, because they wailed so much because of the pain that they experienced through, you know, some unscrupulous producer. So he wanted life for younger artists to be better. So he facilitated that with his stuff going, you know, at that time, Baba Big Superstar and everything.

So I got that opportunity as an 11 year old girl, recording my first song, Starvation on the Line. He was in the studio because, you i was his little project i didn't spend a lot of time with him because you know after that he i think he transitioned the next year went on to zion yeah so that was my start and i was just you know i won a talent contest and i went in so at a time it wasn't really difficult you know i gotta ask you this cuz obviously we know you from Tara fabulous action yes into how old were you when you did that song I think I did a song I thought was I call that my second comment I did a song action was probably done when I was

23 as a demo okay and then yeah it was a demo for me because at that time I went to London I auditioned for Soul to Soul Karen Wheeler left the whole story behind that I was a girl that was chosen to be the front girl the managers hated each other and I think hate is very mild they disliked each other there There's no word to describe that. So, you know, my manager then suggested that I come back to Jamaica and do dancehall, which was okay for me, you know, because that was my culture. They were trying to steer me into a more R&B line. So I came back to Jamaica, did action as a demo for Dave Kelly. But what happened is that the rhythm just took off in the dance hall. So if you see the journey of action,

it's very, very, very strange. You see, initially it was Nadine Sutherland and Terra Fabulous because I was out there before the dance hall of the 90s came. I was a child star in the 80s. So it was released in Jamaica, then was released in the ethnic market,

and then Terra got signed to East West Electra. because it was their artists they had terror fabulous so that's a history of action and it's still being a history I still can't believe that is yeah I did with action I was asked and yeah, I did. Yeah. Now you also were on Wicked D***y. Yeah.

That's another classic song. And I remember singing that as a kid, not knowing what I was talking about. Angela, that's another story though with Wicked D***y though.

Because Wicked D***y, it was Wicked and Wild, a nice, wonderful song. Ooh, wah, ooh, wah, ooh. And Boojoo had D***y. So I was in London one year and I was at my friend's house and I went to a Jamaican recording studio record a selling place and the minds a congregation record sir mm-hmm I'm answer congregation on your number one song with which a band on and I'm

like what you talking about sir and I tell me things some institutional in back in Jamaica you know you should speak a certain way young ladies I was like sir I don't have a song with Buju Banton I was like my girl you have a song with Buju Banton I'm like sir I do not have a song with Buju Banton the man started to get angry and all kind of ways with me and I'm saying I'm gonna play you a song by that time he was heated but I just never knew and when I heard my song and I heard ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah, ooh-ah and then the unmistakable voice, the banter going, f**k it, f**k it, f**k it, f**k it. So that's how I found out, I was like, you know when I go back to Jamaica, you know when he said Donovan, German, I And we had a talk with him. So that's how I learned that I had a song with him. Yeah. So how were you protected in the industry at such a young age, at 11 years old?

You know, being in this business, which can be really tough, especially for a young girl, too. So coming up, like who was around you to make sure that you were good? You know, I must say, there were definitely predators. Let me get it out there. You know, we have some sick people in the world. But what I'm very, very thankful for is that I had a father and had a father who could see what I couldn't see. His eyes were accustomed to, I guess, how men would look at women. So I was walking around with, I'm an 11-year-old kid, come on, just getting into high school. So I'm very thankful that I had a strong male figure in my life that was a lion. He was a lion, you know, and I cannot thank him enough

because I basically went through a stage of my life being able to be a kid and being unscathed by a lot of stuff that is in the music industry. Right now, even my comfort zone, you know, when I go anywhere, it's my family. I always say my posse, it's my family. So I keep it really tight in my life because I feel more comfortable, you know, just being around people who know me. And, you know, yeah. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start 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 are 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.

And I have to big up Mrs. Marley also. She had girl children. She had, you know, young women, Sadella and Sharon. So she understood about protecting young women. And at a stage of my life, along with my father, she was very, very protective.

Morning everybody It's DJ envy Angela. Yee Charlamagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Nadine Sutherland She's performing at Angela Yee day this Saturday now yee. I gotta ask you. What is your diet? Like you look amazing just to see

Just even from when you were younger up until now like what's your self-care routine my self-care routine is i say i'm a flexitarian so i can go vegan for a while and then i eat seafood but i don't go over i'm not an excessive eater and i'm not an excessive eater of carbs um i don't smoke and i take my red wine in the evenings probably i don't excessively drink I drink a lot of water and you know I dance back in the day so I still go dance classes I still go to the gym I still do a lot of cardio because you know especially know that I'm getting back on stage and when the music hit me I feel no pain I love to dance and I love to you know I love to entertain so that too but I think a lot have to do in my mindset I'm a meditator I'm into spiritualism

I remember I wanted to see Charlemagne I wasn't saying that interview he did with Deepak Chopra was so impressive so I really try to keep myself in a zone of positivity and just like I believe that good health is a holistic thing it's a mind body thing and um i'm into all that so i think that that has helped me now you talk about whining right so as a young girl you know young girls whine yes in america i i guess they would twerk yeah the other day uh i guess somebody was performing at a high school and people had a problem with her if she was 23 years old i didn't have a problem with it because when I was in high school, my wife was whining on her head.

You know what I mean? That was the dance back then. I didn't see anything wrong. So what do you tell because even you said your grandmother or your mother popped you doing the whining. So what do you say to those people because that's culture. I did cultural studies and one of the things that I recognize is what you call

cellular memory. And people who have Africa in them, and that don't necessarily mean that it's in your blood, but it's also in your culture. You know, like some places of Latin America. I notice a lot of people whine. We whine. We use our buttocks and we twerk. People who are exposed to that kind of culture. Unfortunately, people see through different lenses and, you know, you see it and it's associated with a kind of life.

And unfortunately, it is usually complemented with a certain lifestyle. I knew when I was whining, I just could dance and I thought it was wonderful. And I think sometimes a lot of young people who are whining is something that, as I say, cellular, it's cultural. They just whine. And people see through different lenses. And sometimes it's some Victorian lenses. And it don't necessarily mean that it's, you know. Sexual.

Right. But then, in some sense, when you look at where it came from in terms of sex, let's speak honestly with sex. There is a lot of stuff with sex sex is a very natural thing being sexual is natural I guess there are narratives that they associated with and I guess in some sense when you associate sexuality with certain narratives it becomes this darkened evil thing which is not in Africa it was celebrated as something as natural so when you do like that it's life this is how you came this is how i came it's a part of life sexuality is a part of life unfortunately some things are now attached to it i believe in time and space and understand

that irrespective of we can intellectualize it and have this explanation society dictates certain things so there's time and space and I don't believe in some sense that certain in certain spaces certain things should be done because of certain attachment to those actions so I don't know what happened you're giving me a very very wide thing but I'm just asking about the dance I was giving an example yeah okay the dance why no way what about going to carnival, right? And so let's just say, you know, my man goes to carnival and then I see video of him all up on these girls. And he's like, no, it's nothing.

That's just the culture of it. And that's the culture of it. But again, you know, I don't know if my man go carnival and I'm going to see my home, pom, pom, pom, woman. And I'm going to appreciate it. Let's be honest. It's like, okay, honey. So, no. pump on woman mega appreciate it like okay honey and so you know and you're not gonna let anybody grind up on you no no no no you're not going to go me not we're worried about my belief in some sense that if I choose somebody to dance

and dagger with with you know probably probably you know probably i'm from a different kind of age group and a different kind of mentality but i don't want no man come behind me and come dagger me or whatsoever and not for entertainment purposes at all i was going to ask what are your thoughts on afro beats because afro beats niceness niceness it comes from dance hall yeah you know it's amazing to see just everything in terms of culture and the influence of, as I say, Africa, you know it's always this mixture and people listening and people you know ingesting stuff and then reproducing it

and it's just so exciting and then new cultural forms new cultural forms always emerge and all of that I sound like a cultural studies scholar

alright let me I don't know who do you like today like what young younger artists are you like okay they're next

I would love to work with them. Well, Coffee is next. She's doing what she's doing. I love Coffee. I love everything about her as a writer. Some of Shanshia's songs I like very, very much. I like Chronix.

Chronix? Chronix. I love Chronix. Nowadays, you know, some of the stuff that Jada Kingdom does i mean she i have one and i guess some people find it obscene but i find it's very creative right i can look at a work of art and i am not a woman who likes a lot of profanity but i can see artistry in music and i really like her new song i can't say the acronym G P P and who was your Mount Rushmore of

dancehall artists so I'm stuck in the 90s all right that's fine I'm stuck in the 90s okay Terra Fabulous Terra Fabulous one more i like bounty his essence and his presence and everything that he comes with and miss a miserable back in the days as well yeah the voice and the whole posture was you know that menacing thing i think that you know so you love the verses with bounty killer and beanie man? Oh my God. One more. Beanie Man. I have to put Beanie Man.

That Versus was my, oh my goodness. It was way in the pandemic. It was in the pandemic. And when that Versus came, I was a happy woman because, you know, I was on my veranda

and I was skinning notes and I was brooking notes and it lifted my energy so much, you know. I feel like that was the best Versus that they had because that's the culture of verses. Just coming from dancehall,

like, verses is basically like a soundclash. I'm glad you, you know, you see that link. It was so incredible for me. I just remember and the police kept coming and knocking. Like that, you wanna be that guy?

When BDM said, I was like, you wanna be that guy? BDM said I was like Don't be that guy Don't be that guy Don't be that guy It was like wicked Yeah So what should people Expect from you this weekend Of course it's

Big up Chris. Big up Miss Pat. If I start talking, you know, be there for the whole thing. That's right. Well, it's Nadine Sutherland. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. The Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. Well, Irv Gotti is trending for something that he said during episode three of the Murder, Inc. story docuseries. This aired Tuesday night on BET.

And in the latest episode, Irv Gotti is talking about the day that he, I guess, made a move on Ashanti. She used to wear these juicy sweats and her ass was looking fat. Lottie's talking about the day that he, I guess, made a move on Ashanti. She used to wear these juicy sweats and her ass was looking fat. Her ass was looking great. So one day I was like, yo, I'll take you home. She said, bet, cool. Walked into a front door of a crib. She turns to say goodbye.

And I just kiss her and grab her ass. And just... All right. So a lot of social media backlash from that. I saw Ashanti posted, I love y'all, LOL. Because I guess people were going in for that. Yeah, us Cancers talk way too much sometimes. And somebody really needs to tell Irv, none of this is advancing the story of Murder, Inc.

Like every time he tells these Ashanti stories, I like I don't need any of that like you can tell the story of the Murder Inc you know crew discuss the legacy without adding any of those details I know it's a tell all documentary but that's damn I don't I don't need any of that people were also commenting on how she was only 19 years old at the time and you, you know, he was the head of the label. So, Ashanti's like just being alone. I mean, it's great for the doc though, right? And I also wonder if Ashanti regrets not being a part of the documentary because all of these things are being said about her.

And I'm sure she got reached out to to be a part of the documentary. Oh, no, he definitely said. He definitely reached out to her. She definitely did. He asked her mom, her sister, everybody. Yeah, but I'm also thinking Ashanti's probably going to do her own doc, you know, because, you know, if they're not speaking, they're not talking, they're not in good terms. And she says something that's not necessarily in favor of Murder, Inc.

She might feel like they might pull it. So I'm sure she'll do her own documentary and give her own side of the story the way she wants to do it. I don't think, yeah, I don't think they would have did that to her though. I think they, I think Vashanti would have sat down and did the doc for BET and she told

her side. I don't think they would have done that there. I don't think they'd have pulled her side. She's doing what I would do though. Just mind my business and just ignore it. Well, it's probably hard to ignore it, but just keep it pushing.

One day she'll say what she has to say. Now, somebody told me that, uh, Fat Joe's part was taken out. Did any of you say that? That is not true. It is not true because nobody has said anything about Fat Joe's parts being in there. I don't know if Fat Joe's part of the story has come up yet. It's a five-part series.

They're only on part, what, three? Three. Yeah, three was this week. They got two more parts. Honestly, does Ashanti have to address any of this? Maybe. Three. Yeah. Three was this week. They got two more parts. But, yeah, you know, honestly, doesn't Shanti have to address any of this? Because if Shanti's telling the story of her career and her legacy, she don't got to talk about who she was.

She doesn't. Doing what. But if she wants to, she'll do it on her own time, on her own platform that she chooses to do it. Yeah. All right, now Magic Johnson has shut down false rumors that he was donating blood at the Red Cross. So apparently there was an image circulating on social media that showed him at a doctor's appointment in 2012 having blood drawn.

And he wanted to let people know this is not true. That's not what was happening. I feel like this rumor comes up every couple of years, though. He said, I'm aware of the false stories circling the internet. And to be clear, I have never donated blood. Why would he? Well, first of all, that's not true, though. I mean, I have never donated blood. Why would he? Well, first of all, that's not true, though. I mean, not donated.

You're right. He probably never donated. Yeah, he didn't donate blood. Why would he even reply to that? I guess it was gotten so big, he just wanted to squash it. All right. Now, let's talk about the AI, the AI rapper, artificial intelligence rapper, FN Mika.

We talked about this before. He was signed to Capitol Records. They ended up dropping him just because there was a lot of backlash from this character that they created. And now the person whose voice they use, the alleged voice behind FN Mika, Kyle the Hooligan, is speaking out. And here's what he said on a video that he shared online. They came to me with this AI s*** and was was like would i want to be the voice of it and i thought it was gonna be like some

collaboration they promised me equity into the company percentages all this stuff so i'm thinking like okay there's about to be some collab something different for me so i could do my music and be on some ai stuff with this uh fmcha character. So everything's going good. Next thing I know, **** is just ghosting me. Like, use my voice, use my sound, use the culture, and literally just left me high and dry.

I didn't get a dime off of nothing. And they got record deals, all this stuff. I wasn't involved with no meetings or none of that. Eek. Well, it's over for them. Anyway, they ended up dropping that artist. I still can't believe people got more upset

at a non-black artificial intelligence rapper using the N-word than they ever have at a non-black human rapper for using the N-word. That's still insane to me. Yeah, I don't know if it was just that. It was a lot more to it than just using the N-word. What else was there to it? Because whatever they would be mad at the AI rapper at,

there's a real rapper they could be mad at. Well, they were saying that a lot of black creators already don't get the credit or the finances that they should be getting. So to create this character that's not even a real person is offensive to people who are really putting in the work and not even getting compensated or getting credit for what it is that they do. And you see Kyle the Hooligan had an issue with that, too.

He didn't get no money and no credit for that. Would these black rappers be out here acting like they're getting all the money in the world? But that outrage worked, right? They did end up dropping this artificial intelligence rapper. And to that point, Yee, I wonder if folks know quite possibly they have the power to single-handedly change the type of content artists put in their music.

If they have this kind of pushback over every artist that uses the N-word, every artist that celebrates gang culture, drug culture, promotes violence in their music, if they pressed artists and labels about that type of content constantly, it would shift the whole culture of hip-hop. All right.
