Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.

ZipRecruiter, the show you love to hate. From the East to the West Coast. DJ Envy.
Angela Yee.
Charlamagne Tha God.
The realest show on the planet.
This is why I respect this show, because this is a voice to society.
Shanks and the Gang.
You guys are the coveted morning show, but y'all earned it.
Impacting the culture.
They wake up in the morning and they want to hear that Breakfast Club.
The world's most dangerous morning show.
We in the mother... We in the... Good morning, USA! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.
Good morning, Angela Yee.
Hey, good morning, DJ Amby.
Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Peace to the planet.
It's Monday.
Yes, it's Monday, beginning of the work week.
Yes, it's National Get Out of the Doghouse Day.
What does that mean? It's a day that I'm sure a lot of men can relate to.
Today is for mending the strained relationships that have been left in dog houses.
It's also National Fresh Spinach Day.
Well, I don't know about the spinach, but I'm out the dog house and I'm great.
My crib is great.
My house is wonderful.
And I ain't playing with y'all with this dog house thing today.
What you mean, man?
This isn't just for you.
God damn.
It's National Dog House Day.
It's a lot of guys out there who may be in the dog house,
who may want to call up here later and, you know,
say something nice to their significant other to get out of the dog house.
And there might be some women in the dog house too with their man.
You never know.
All these days.
When did this start happening?
I have no idea.
I know it was national ice cream day yesterday.
That was exciting.
Oh, yesterday.
You know how I know that?
Because my daughters, especially my two-year-old, for whatever reason, kept running around the house screaming,
ice cream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream.
Ice cream, yes.
And I didn't know what was going on.
I guess it was a commercial on Nick Jr. at Disney or one of them that was letting them know it was National Ice Cream Day.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
It's also National Personal Chef Day, but that has nothing to do with anybody but DJ Envy because he's rich.
No, I don't have a personal chef.
I sure don't.
Okay. All right. Well, I'm out in a personal chef. I sure don't. Okay.
Alright, well, I'm out in Miami. Shout out to
103.5 to be outstationed out here in Miami.
Shout out to Logic. I had to do a show
yesterday and I couldn't get back in time.
So I just spent the night in Miami. Why not? It's beautiful out here.
Poor you. I'll be back today.
Poor me. Poor you. What are you guys
doing? How was y'all weekends?
My weekend was great. I went to go see the Purge
movie that I kept telling y'all I wanted to go see
it. You're paying people to scare you, huh?
Yeah, I enjoyed it. The Purge isn't really scary,
but this one was
particularly good. It was the first Purge,
so I highly recommend if y'all don't watch
those Purge movies to check this one out.
Why is this one the first Purge when there's been other
Purge movies? It talks about how it started.
Like how the Purge first started. It was in Staten Island,
Stapleton, is how it first started.
And it was basically trying to get rid of all the black people.
Oh, so it was about America.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Pretty much.
Basically.
And that's all I did.
Saturday, I didn't leave my house all day at all.
I didn't step foot outside.
I ordered groceries and everything.
I didn't even go to the supermarket.
All right.
Well, Charlamagne, I know you're excited about this.
We have the cast of Love Is joining us this morning.
It's a new show on OWN.
Yes, I'm not necessarily excited about the cast of Love Is.
I'm excited about the creator of Love Is who will be with the cast.
Mara Brock and Kiel.
Drop one of the cool bombs from Mara Brock and Kiel, damn it.
Love Is is based on her own relationship with her husband.
It's a great show.
I enjoy watching it.
You know, I'm mushy when I watch TV.
Yes, if you don't know
who Mara Brock and Kid Liz,
she is the architect
of such shows as
Being Mary Jane,
Black Lightning,
The Game,
and most nearest
and dearest to my heart,
Girlfriends.
Explain to the people
what Girlfriends is.
If I gotta explain to you
about Joan, Lintonia, and Maya,
and we don't need to be
having no conversations,
I don't have to talk to everybody, you know.
Okay? Everybody's not for
me. And if you don't know about Joan, Lynn, Tony,
and Maya, then you're probably just a person that I'm
not going to relate to on a lot of levels.
Goodness. Yeah. Alright. Well, we got
front page news coming up. E, what are we talking about?
Oh, man. There's another one. Coupon
Carl. Find out what happened
at CVS. Why were the cops
called on a black woman? That was stupid.
Jesus Christ. He looked so scared too.
He was shaking.
That cocaine had him paranoid or something.
That wasn't normal.
We'll talk about it when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning. Morning everybody.
It's DJ Envy Angela
Yee. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The
Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page
news.
Now, I'm not sure if you guys watch football, but France beat Croatia 4-1.
That's in the World Cup.
I didn't watch it.
I thought you said you were watching it.
You definitely just lied a little while ago and said you watched the World Cup.
Yeah, he did just say that. I was joking behind the scenes.
I thought you really did.
It was behind the scenes.
I was joking.
No, I didn't watch that.
I don't know the difference.
Did the Red Bull Wings play? I don't know. I don't know the teams. I don't know. I was joking. No, I didn't watch that. I don't know the difference. Did the Red Bull Wings play?
I don't know.
I don't know the teams.
I don't know.
I was joking.
I didn't watch the World Cup either.
And the score was actually 4-2, not 4-1.
I actually thought the French was Haiti.
I thought that was the Haiti's soccer team.
I was like, oh, good for all the Haitians.
I thought Africa won, actually, because I seemed like South Africa very excited.
No, I don't know.
One of my homeboys who was Haitian was like, yo, big up to the Haitians, massive, for winning
the World Cup.
I was like, oh, okay. Salute to Haiti. All right. All right. I don't know. One of my homeboys who was Haitian was like, yo, big up to the Haitians, Madison, for winning the World Cup. I was like, oh, okay.
Salute to Haiti.
All right.
I don't know.
All right, what else we talking about?
Now let's talk about Coupon Carl.
Yet another instance of someone calling the cops on a black person, a white person calling the cops on a black person.
This was at CVS.
A white Chicago CVS manager named Maureen Mattson called the police on a black woman because she tried to use a coupon.
And he said that the coupon looked like it was fraudulent.
The situation escalated because the woman, Camilla Hudson, said that she was offended at being called a liar and a thief.
And she was asked to leave, but she stayed as he then called the police on her.
Is that crazy?
Listen, you playing audio from it?
Yes.
Okay.
It's a female.
She's wearing a green.
Tell them I'll be here when they arrive.
I will be waiting for them to arrive.
You can tell them her name is Camilla Hudson.
I have ID and will share it.
Maury, M-O-R-R-Y, M-A-T-S-O-N, African American.
Black. No, I'm not African American. I'm black.
Black isn't a bad word.
Goddamn right it's not.
All right, thank you.
You see, I would blame that on anxiety, but I know cocaine use when I see it.
That's the paranoia that comes with sniffing on that white powdered mayonnaise, okay?
If he was that scared because she was using a coupon, imagine if she would have had EBT.
Now, she said that he didn't even try to scan the coupon or anything.
He just called the police because he said it didn't look real.
I wonder what it was a coupon for.
That's the kind of nervous, scary energy
we don't want police officers to have either.
That's that irrational white fear that gets innocent black people smoked.
Well, the coupon...
But it seems like people are just calling the cops for anything.
Aren't you supposed to call the cops for something serious, like for coupon use?
The coupon was for any disposable incontinence product.
What was it?
Any disposable incontinence products.
What's an incontinence product?
What's that?
Pampons?
No, incontinence.
So if you can't hold it, like a little...
Diapers.
Okay, okay, okay.
Cheryl Underwood wears those.
Okay.
She told us that.
It's not a diaper.
Yeah, it's like if a little leakage comes out.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
You can't hold your pee, but every now and then a little drip drop happens.
Well, there you have it.
What?
Yes.
I've heard of that.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Also in Chicago, there were some protests that happened, yes, Saturday night.
And there should be some more happening.
It's been ongoing, all because a Chicago police shot and killed a man on Saturday.
They said he appeared to be reaching for a gun in his waistband.
That's according to body camera footage that they also released.
The officers approached Harith Augustus, who's 37 years old.
They tried to grab him.
And that's when he pushed the officer's arms away.
You can see the camera footage.
And then he rolls over the hood of a police vehicle
and they said he appeared to reach for a gun.
They did release that footage just to prove what they were saying was that he was armed
and that they did shoot and kill him because they felt that he was reaching for a gun.
Here is Chicago Police Chief Fred Waller.
Some officers, as they were working a foot post,
saw a subject that they thought might have been armed from the bulge around his waistband.
After that, they approached the subject who became combative.
And as he became combative, flailing away, he broke free from the officers.
And what they thought he appeared to be reaching for a weapon, which he did have a weapon on him.
And officers tragically shot this man.
That's a sad, sad situation.
But I can also say that sometimes the bulge in the waistband can be your penis
because sometimes when you get like a woody and you've got to reach down there
and you've got to hold it up and put it in between the elastic and your sweatpants.
Well, no, it was around his waist.
So it don't just poke out.
It was around his waist.
That's what I'm saying.
That is around his waist.
That's what he's saying.
Charlamagne said you put it up so it's not bulging.
So that could be the bulge sometimes.
Ironically, residents had asked for more police presence in that area where the shooting took place also.
So protesters were on the street and basically protesting police brutality.
So they were chanting, who do you protect?
Wow.
All right.
Well, that's front page news.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up right now.
Maybe you had a bad weekend and just need to vent to get things off your chest.

We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
What's up, Envy?
Hey, Trav, what's going on?
Hi, Trav.
Hey.
What's up?
What's up, Charlamagne?
What's up, sis?
How are you?
I'm doing good.
I'm doing good.
Listen, I want to call you.
I want to say congratulations on that write-up from that magazine that did that little write-up
on you.
Oh, Forbes.com.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
I saw you right under my post.
I appreciate you, Trav.
Oh, I can't tell who you are.
Charlamagne, one thing to say to you, man.
This is why you should always keep living your truth.
Like, you know, always make sure you just don't pay attention
to the negative energy that's out there that's coming against you.
Everybody knows what you always talk about,
what you put inside your book, what you've been talking about for years,
and this is why nobody can ever come at you
because you always live your truth, brother.
Hey, live your truth so nobody can use it against you, man.
Good, bad, and ugly, baby.
But I wanted to call you all this morning.
I'm going to Snoop Dogg's house.
If y'all want some divorce papers or something, let me know if y'all need something.
Oh, shut up.
What happened with Snoop, man?
First of all, black men don't cheat.
I keep hearing all these false allegations against Snoop.
I thought he has a show coming out called Clout Chaser.
Yeah, that's crazy.
Have a good one.
He just got out.
All right, Trav.
What are these false allegations I keep hearing about Snoop Dogg?
I don't know.
I don't know what y'all
talking about. All I see is Snoop on
Lil Duval's song, Smile Bitch.
Smile Bitch. Yeah, I saw he posted
he has a TV show coming next week called
Clout Chaser. Oh, okay. Hello, who's
this? This is Sirius.
Hey, what's up, man? Get it off your chest. What's so Sirius,
sir? I'm just
happy that I'm blessed to get up
another day and then my album is finally done.
It's going to be coming out soon,
and I got some good tunes for you guys to hear.
I'm going to tell you something.
I'm happy that you're alive, sir,
but your name is Sirius, but your voice is not.
Okay?
Mysterious is my name.
Oh, Mysterious.
Oh, gosh.
I thought you said Sirius.
Give him some bars, Mysterious.
Give him some bars this morning.
No, like I'm a singer, though. Really? All right, so sing some bars, Mysterious. Give him some bars this morning. No, like, I'm a singer, though.
Really?
All right, so sing some bars.
Well, I always have to always go around.
No, no, no.
Your voice too light.
I like this.
Jeans too tight.
Oh, goodness.
Okay.
I need more.
I know, but that's what I'm going for right now.
Wait until the rest of it is finished.
Where can we hear some of this online?
Let's sing some more.
Can you give us some more?
Well, why must you?
Nah.
Hey, bro, as soon as you hit puberty, I'll start checking for your music, okay?
Thank you, man.
Good luck with everything.
Until then, have a blessed day.
You too.
All right.
How's boys get so deep at the end?
You too.
Hello, who's this? Yo, good morning, man. It's Brandon. How's boyfies over? Deep at the end. You too. Hello, who's this?
Yo, good morning, man.
It's Brandon.
What's up, man?
What's up, bro?
No cursing, but get it off your chest, bro.
Yo, man, I'm sorry right now, man.
My cousin from out of town, from Atlanta.
We had to barbecue, ask to borrow my car to go to the store, get some cigarettes.
Him in the store, he's in Atlantic City right now with my car.
They ain't come back yet, y'all.
I'm like, I need to go home.
I'm tired, y'all.
Where they left you at?
I'm in the Bronx, man. They visited
from Atlanta, and they take my call.
So, yo, we gonna go to the store and get some more hamburger buns.
Never came back. And I'm like,
yo, where y'all at? Yo, we in Atlantic City
about to get lit on the tables. We right back.
I'm like, how do you get to Atlantic City from the supermarket from the Bronx, man?
Like, it's crazy.
Well, I got one question.
What did you put the hamburger meat on since they never came home with the hamburger bun?
Did you use white bread or did you just eat the meat plain?
What'd you do?
No, we had Wonder Bread, but we ran out because, you know, it's a barbeque, you know what I'm saying?
You know, it was equivalent to what was in the box.
You know, but still, he got my car in Atlantic City,
and he made it familiar.
I got to go to work, man.
I got to take this Uber.
I don't want to take the Uber.
The beauty of New York is a lot of public transportation,
but I'm going to tell you something.
One to bread on a hamburger is an underappreciated,
great-tasting meal, by the way.
It always sticks, though.
Thank you, brother.
I'm talking about the burgers, God.
I'm going to need my car.
This is you talking about the burgers, right?
You got me a little hungry this morning. I ain't had breakfast yet.
You called up and talked about Wonder Bread and burgers.
That got my stomach rumbling. I'm not even hungry.
I want my car, but I don't want my car. I know you're not
hungry because you had Wonder Bread and burgers. I didn't.
Thank you for calling, bro.
But how do you get, like, when you use
Wonder Bread, doesn't the Wonder Bread always stick to the burger?
That's what I like, though. It sticks to the top of your mouth. That's what I like, though. It never sticks to the top of your mouth.
That's what I like.
It's like a hood beef patty.
It is.
I like that.
I mean, beef patties in the hood, but you know what I mean.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.

DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy,
We Are The Breakfast Club.
I want to know why Tyreek be lying on power.
Because his parents lied to him his whole life growing up,
so that's all he knows.
So he's used to being lied to.
He knows it's not real.
So he lies as well.
So it's generational.
Mm-hmm.
It's not real.
She even acknowledged it on this last episode.
You're right.
She was dropping him off at school.
She says she knows that they've been lying to him.
You're right.
Forget it. And that's what made him tell the truth. All right. Well She was dropping him off at school. She said she knows that they've been lying to him. You're right. Forget it.
And that's what made him tell the truth.
All right.
Well, let's get to the rumors.
She finally became that mother figure in his life that she was supposed to be all this
time.
It's not real.
Bro.
Shut up.
What's wrong with you?
All right.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk to Kashi69.
It's time.
She's spilling the tea.
This is the rumor Report with Angela Yee
on The Breakfast Club.
Well, after a judge refused
to grant him bail, Tekashi69 is
out of Rikers Island on
bail. He's been granted bail. He paid
$150,000 and he also
has to show up in
Harris County, Texas today to
pay his $5,000 bill there.
So what happened is they managed to go to Texas first
and get them to agree to the bail amount there
and then come back here and have an emergency bail hearing meeting.
And that's how he was released.
Now he is actually giving out money to the kids
and he has started a new soccer league.
Check it out.
Why my city do me like that?
Yo, shout out to these lawyers.
Shout out to these f***ing lawyers, man.
I'm gonna work quick as f***.
I'm so happy to be home.
I can't wait to see my baby.
I can't wait to see my daughter.
And they even give me a chance to get off the plane.
Just like, yo, come here, stupid.
He's one of the few rappers that actually talks how he raps.
He sounds the way in regular conversation as he does on his records.
All right, so he's been giving out money to the kids,
and they posted a video of that as well.
God bless those kids, but I wouldn't be giving away no money to those kids.
I'd be saving all that money for my legal fees.
I'll get back to the kids after I handle this legal business.
All right, The Dream.
He just sold a $23 million stake in his catalog that's huge to a music IP investment company.
They have a 75% stake in his music catalog.
Now, among the acquisition are more than 300 songs.
Some of those songs are songs like Justin Bieber's Baby, Mariah Carey's Touch My Body, Single Ladies, Put a Ring on It, Rihanna's Umbrella, Jay-Z's Holy Grail, Kanye's All of the Lights.
Some of the songs included in that catalog are those.
So he gave up some of his masters, basically.
He gave up his royalties and some of those things.
I wonder if that's worth it.
I wonder if he would have made more money in the long run than taking that now.
I wonder. I don't know.
Well, it depends what he's doing with that $23 million.
He could be investing that into something that could end up
making him a lot more money.
Absolutely.
So if you take that money
and invest it in,
make way more than you could have made,
it just depends.
All right, so that's the first acquisition
for that company,
and they said that it had to be
a really high standard
with their first one,
and that is a pretty damn high standard.
We're dropping the clues, Bon,
for that R&B-D-I singer dream.
All right, that man is a hustler.
It was Beyonce's former manager who set up the investment company,
so that's the person that he's dealing with.
All right, Scarlett Johansson has backed out of a movie
after some serious backlash.
Now, she was supposed to be in a film called Rub and Tug.
What?
Yeah, it was called Rub and Tug.
It's based on the story of Dante Texgill
who was born a woman but identified as a man
and ran a prostitution ring out of
his massage parlor in the 70s and 80s.
I thought Rub and Tug was masturbation, right?
Wasn't it? Yeah. Well, someone else
rubbing and tugging you in this situation.
Right, so it's a massage parlor.
So, at first, she was
against backing out of the film because a lot
of people were protesting the fact that they should let a transgender person play that role.
But she said, our cultural understanding of transgender people continues to advance.
And I've learned a lot from the community since making my first statement about my casting and realizing it was insensitive.
She goes on in her statement to say, according to GLAAD, LGBTQ characters dropped 40% in 2017 from the previous year
with no representation of trans characters in any major studio release.
While I would have loved the opportunity to bring Dante's story and transition to life,
I understand why many feel he should be portrayed by a transgender person.
Duh.
First of all, if you were a studio, why would you want anything other than a transgender actor?
That's just like if you got a role for a black person,
based off a black character, a real life black person, you get a black person to play the role. That's just like if you're getting a, if you got a role for a black person, based off a black character, a real life black person,
you get a black person to play the role.
That's just common sense, right?
Right, well, she has backed out.
Now, Kevin Spacey has a movie coming out,
and they're not doing any advertising, as you can imagine, for this movie.
It's him playing a con artist in Billionaire Boys Club.
He's facing several sexual assault allegations.
Three of them just surfaced recently from London, and he's under investigation.
So it seems like the studio is cutting their losses.
The movie's being dumped.
They're going to premiere it on video on demand tomorrow,
and it's going to be in theaters August 17th.
But they're not using him for anything because you can't send Kevin Spacey out right now
to do any type of press.
So why put it out at all?
Well, the reason why they are putting it out is because, A,
they want to make back some of the money
that they spent doing
this movie.
Also, all the people
that worked on it.
They said,
we believe in giving
the cast as well as
hundreds of crew members
who worked hard on the film
the chance to see
their final product
reach audiences.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I forgot who Kevin Spacey was.
That's the guy
from House of Cards, right?
He was from House of Cards, right?
Yes.
Okay, gotcha.
He was Kaiser Soze as well.
He knows who he is.
I forgot. I had to think about it just now. The guy from House of Cards. All right Yes. Okay, yes. And from, he was Kaiser Soze as well. He knows who he is. And Usual Suspects.
God, I had to think about it just now.
The guy from House of Cards.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Reports.
All right.
Thank you, Miss Yee.
Now, when we come back, we have the cast of Love Is.
Not just the cast of Love Is.
I'm about to get to it.
Get to it.
And the creator of Love Is, a person that I am looking very forward to talking to.
Mara Brock Akil will be here.
If you don't know who Mara Brock Akil is, she's
made such great shows like Being
Mary Jane,
Black Lightning, The Game,
and of course, something that is near and dear to my
heart, girlfriends.
Explain to the people what girlfriends are.
Stop playing with me, bruh.
I'm not about to explain to
nobody about Joan, Lynn, Tony, and Maya.
If you know, you know.
If you don't, you need to learn, damn it.
My goodness.
All right.
We'll kick it with them when we come back.
Don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Yes.
Charlamagne's in love right now.
Listen, this woman is a legend to me.
This woman is a legend to me. His nipples are hard. Gosh, Charlamagne. Whatlamagne's in love right now. Listen, this woman is a legend to me. He's so happy. This woman is a legend to me.
His nipples are hard.
Go ahead, Charlamagne.
What you?
Evan, not right now.
My God.
It's like a writer's room up in here.
I like it.
We talk about sex.
You know, that gets you in trouble in Hollywood.
Yes, it does.
And the radio.
I just think she deserves a lot of respect from the culture that she receives.
Mara Brock Akil is here.
Thank you. She is the people that don't know Mara Brock Akil is here. Thank you.
She is the people that don't know, Solomon.
I'll let her tell it.
Well, I am Mara Brock Akil.
I'm a storyteller that has created a lot of TV shows.
I do have to give a shout out to my career on Moesha because that's where I got my start.
But I also, really on South Central.
I started on South Central.
But anyway, I created the shows Girlfriendsfriends, The Game, Being Mary Jane.
Wrote Sparkle with my husband.
Well, I wrote it. He directed it.
We produced it together.
And now I have
Being Mary Jane.
And now I have Love Is.
Black Lightning.
We're learning a lot more about you from watching Love Is.
Yeah, I'm an oversharer.
It's a real-life relationship with you and your husband, right?
Yes, it's inspired by.
I want to say inspired by, but I am using some very tentpole moments that actually happened.
But, again, as a storyteller, I have to, you know, as fabulous as I think that we are, we can be boring.
And so if you don't sort of manipulate the facts to create great stories. So some of those facts are being manipulated to tell the truth about who I believe we are
and how we made it and trying to answer that question, which was asked of us, like, how
would you do everything?
So love is basically my sort of honest answer to that sincere question about how we do it
all.
So anyway, where was I?
I'm lost.
This is explaining the show that is about y'all, but inspired by y'all.
Yeah.
Now, before we get to love this.
There you go.
Introduce the other two.
Well, before we get to love this, let's introduce Michelle Weaver.
Yes.
Hi.
And Wim Catlin.
Did I say your name right?
Yeah, you did, brother.
Now, Charlamagne, get your rocks off.
I know you got a couple of questions, girlfriend questions.
Go ahead.
I'll do that later.
Let's talk about love this first.
Yes. Okay. So, Charlamagne's been dying for you to come, like, waiting, questions, girlfriend questions. Go ahead. I'll do that later. Let's talk about love first.
We should get to that.
I'm dying for you to come.
Like, waiting.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later. We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that later.
I'm so excited to see Charlamagne too, because, you know, you are in there grinding, trying
to tell our stories, trying to do it for the culture, and sometimes you don't
know what you don't know.
If people appreciate you.
Yes.
And so, but you have made it clear.
And I'm very.
He's a girlfriend.
He is a girlfriend. I mean, and I was very, very.
But I didn't know until you made it clear.
And I just really want to thank you because I actually find those to be an act of bravery.
Bringing back to love is a little bit to, to say how you feel.
You know what I'm saying?
It's actually an act of bravery and generosity,
and I really appreciate it because sometimes you don't know
and how just that, what you have done for me and my spirit,
and, you know, some days you just grind it
and you get ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, all this love,
and I just thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
It's interesting you say that, though,
because nowadays if you express what you feel,
people use that against you.
Yes.
Like, I'm just talking about my life
and the things I've experienced.
Yes.
Is it difficult to put that in a TV show?
I think initially when the thought to do it, it was,
but then I'm an artist and so I like a challenge.
And so then I also have to create a separation
between me and Salim
and create these characters, Nuri and Yasir.
They have to have a life of their own.
And once I get my hand on the clay, I love what I do.
And I sort of, I just keep them separate.
And so I just use the facts of my life as inspiration.
I don't, I sort of use that detachment.
There are moments, because we do hit some more
as the series progresses in our first season
of Exploring Courtship.
We hit some very real moments.
And so I had to take a pause and...
Cry.
Yeah.
You know, seriously.
No, you'll see.
I had to cry.
Salim, do you want to do this?
Because if he's sharing as well,
and he goes, yeah, let's do this for the culture.
You know, because we know we're not the only ones doing this.
So let's do it to have a conversation.
Anyway, so there are those moments.
But the fun stuff I'm enjoying putting out there,
you know, it's like I invited people
to my house.
You tell the funny stories about your relationship, how you met these funny, you know, those things
are fun to add.
How did y'all stay together?
You know, I've been married 17 years.
Charlamagne has been married.
You've been 17 years.
You're almost 20.
I've known my wife 20 years.
We've only been married four.
Oh, we've been together for 21 years, married 19.
So it's like, oh, we all
fell in love. That's not even a comparison.
19 and 4?
Well, I disagree. I think you've
been with her for 20 years. That's a commitment.
You know, marriage is this
construct of society, but the heart
committed 20 years ago. Absolutely.
How did y'all stay together? Because most people seem like
these days, divorce is so easy.
Probably the same way that you did.
It's a daily commitment. It's hard.
But you decide
to stay. Absolutely. Even when it's hard, you
decide to stay. And I think
one of the things Salim says, and I think
is very true, we don't take ownership of each
other. And when you do that,
when you don't do that,
I guess, then you appreciate and respect
that person on a daily basis.
So you show up every day to make sure.
Well, you guys get a little to the point.
Selim always says, well, wherever Mara goes,
he says it differently, but her private parts go with her.
So my point is, she can do whatever she wants to do.
So if I want her to stay,
then I need to show up in a way that makes her stay.
Me still wanting to be with him.
It's me still desiring him.
And so you got to show up for that.
So he shows up and I do the same thing.
I mean, even from a practical place, after I had the babies, we did P90X together.
We was in there working it out.
I'm trying to, I'm starting to stay hot.
Like, I mean, sometimes I don't want to work out, but sometimes I work out so I can stay attractive to my husband,
who I know is out in the world and everybody wants him.
So I know I do.
He's powerful.
He's sexy.
He's talented.
Who wouldn't?
And he thinks I'm always blowing him up, but I believe that.
So I show up.
I tell him I love him every morning.
I get morning beautiful.
He gets morning handsome. Morning handsome.
We take those...
Y'all got something deeper than just physical attraction to each other?
No, but I am talking
beyond that. I'm using
that as an example. It is
a daily commitment. It is
literally like, I want to be with you.
He's also more than my husband.
I feel like even husband is very limiting
to our relationship. He's my best friend. He's also more than my husband. I feel like even husband is very limiting to our relationship.
He's my best friend.
He's my business partner.
So there's a lot of touch points for us to draw from to stay together.
You know, when other areas are a little, you know, they need some work or they're challenged,
we have this other place we can go to.
But he's literally my best friend.
Have you ever threatened him?
Like, look, I may divorce you, but I'll still be your business partner.
I may fire you, but I'll still be your business partner. I may fire you, but I'll still be your wife.
No, you know, we create boundaries.
We create boundaries.
Like, even for each project, we decide going forward who gets the last say
so that we don't carry that argument into the other aspect of our relationship.
I think you know when your relationship is a little rocky.
Absolutely.
You know it. And so there's been times when families have to step in. So it's also important who you surround
your relationship around because
who's your sounding board to pull
you guys back together. Our parents have
mediated for us.
For us. And I remember that
it gets rough.
Did your mom really used to have keys to your house
and just come whenever she felt like it?
No, that's more of a metaphorical truth
that my mother has access to me all the time.
My parents got keys to my crib.
They come anytime.
Mine don't.
No, no, they come anytime they want.
We have more of the cast of Love Is in the building
when we come back.
Will Catlett, Michelle Weaver, and Maura Brocka kill?
So don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have the cast of Love Is in the Building, Michelle Weaver and Will Catlett.
And it also show creator Maura Brock Akil.
Now, she also created Girlfriends with Charlamagne is in love with.
Now, Mara, what made you pick Michelle and Will as star in the show?
Talent.
You know, at the end, I'm really proud of what our,
Salim and I are not afraid of launching new talent
if they're the right person for the job.
You know what I'm saying?
If they're the right fit for the character.
And we go, we trust the process.
Kim Coleman is our casting director. We told her what we were looking for and we needed we needed some
actors who are trained ready to go and if you look at their resume you could dismiss it just
kind of like I guess the way I was sort of trying to show Nuri and Yasir you can overlook a brother
because he doesn't have the trappings to be you you know, what you think you want in a man. Just like with talent, you can overlook if you don't have a
skilled, trained eye to know who is prepared and ready. These two have been working on their craft
spiritually and literally. You can tell it when they showed up in the room, their confidence
level. They walked in the room confidently. You need to have that. They walked into the room owning and knowing that role, knowing that character. So when I gave them
direction, they could pivot. And that's important. Can you take direction? Because we got to, because
I'm going to throw a bunch at you. But with Michelle, her light, I believe Mara, which is
connected to Nuri, which is connected to Michelle, we all have this sort of light in us. And that is something that I am happy that I have.
And I needed to find that essence, which is the truest part of me in Michelle.
And she came in with that light.
Will has a depth and he has a soul.
That's Celine.
Celine walks into a room.
It all comes down to a peaceful place, to a deep place.
And that combination of the two of us, I think, make us great.
But as individuals, that's what they each had.
And with these two actors.
Yeah, yes, he has been very smooth.
Yeah.
But he does have that Bay Area swag.
You know, Bay Area, them brothers are deep.
How much did you have to shout out to your kids to pull this off, Michelle and Will?
Well, you know, it's so funny because, like, I purposely didn't really research Mara in the audition process.
I was like, look, I get this girl.
I read this girl.
I was like, ooh, I know this girl.
I'm here.
Look.
And I think that was what was good because I wasn't trying to imitate a human.
I went in there free and just truthful.
And then after meeting Mara,
she gave me this direct and I was like,
oh, it was like she gave me
the full view. And then from
there I knew, okay, this is where I'm going to go.
So, it was great.
You know, I feel like I was kind of spoiled
because, yeah, I was playing her
but she was also the creator, the visionary
and the writer and the director.
So, like, I knew she was going to take me where she wanted me to go.
What about you, Will?
For me, I just remember being on the set of Black Lightning
when Selim gave me a hug.
And this is when I was getting ready to go and partner with Marva
to go into the writer's room.
And I couldn't understand what it was, but then when I got the part,
he gave me permission to play him.
So when I would catch him in Whole Foods or when I see him on set,
if I can just get a little bit of his DNA,
then I knew that's all I needed.
You know, because by him being between two shows,
I didn't have the opportunity to spend
as much time. But then I can look at Mara
or one time, Celine, on the set of Black
Lightning, when Mara came, he looked
at her. And I promise you, the way
this man looked at her was like he's seen
her for the first time, but he didn't want her to go.
Wow. And so I was like, okay. When's the last time I looked at her was like he's seen her for the first time but he didn't want her to go wow and so i was like okay
right right right
but it was it was it was subtle you know and i was like okay You look like you lost your contact.
But it was subtle, you know, and I was like, okay, if I can get that, I'm good.
I don't need to know nothing else.
Now, what was the hardest thing to talk about or the hardest thing to write about or to do?
What episode was the most difficult?
Was it about, you tell us. I actually think the one I worried about and prayed about the most was when Nuri, and it's coming up in episode eight, where Nuri goes back home, insists to go up to the Bay Area to meet Yassir's family.
Because I do want to talk about something, the ghetto pedigree story, the ghetto story.
There's a truth there, but it's been exploited.
In my art, I'm trying to get to the humanity of us,
the beauty of us.
I see we're beautiful people,
but there are some truths that we got to deal with.
It's okay to talk about, and I wanted to talk about,
you know, he's an absentee father, technically.
But what does that look like?
It's more, you can say that and then check out and judge that.
But there's a lot of love there.
You know, he's there's there's the whole idea about, you know, having a baby mama.
You know, say that all of those those terms that have just we that have have dehumanized us in a lot of ways.
I wanted to put that. I want to show what love looks like in a very honest way. And it's representative of not directly, because again, our family is not the only one going through this.
Most of America, and more specifically black America, this is what we're still unpacking from what our history is in this country.
We're still unpacking a lot of pain.
And as a storyteller, I want to get it right, especially because it's our story, especially because I honor and love this man and his family.
And so and again, that's inspired by it's not everything is not direct, but I wanted to get it right for us personally.
And I wanted to get us for us personally, meaning us black people. Men have to be willing to be vulnerable in those situations, though, because it's like it's the layers to guys not being in their children's lives like they want to be.
Yes.
But it could be the baby mother doesn't want them to be around or anything like that.
So it's not just I'm just a deadbeat dad.
I don't want to be dead.
No, exactly.
We know that.
We know that.
But from story, what's been depicted for our narrative is not done well enough.
So we were talking about vulnerability, and that's something that I've been, like, discussing in therapy, just men being vulnerable.
Oh, really?
So it's like, you know, as men, and Will, I'm sure you know, it's like, as men, like, we lie.
In between, we lie in the hood because you have to survive.
So you have to try to be this tough gangster or whatever.
And sometimes you just want to cry.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
That's real.
You're vulnerable.
So for you playing a powerful guy
like Mr. Akil, did you
tap into the vulnerability? Did he let you
see any of that? Well,
like I said, you got to, Selim,
when you're around him, you got to catch him when you catch him.
He don't give you
nothing. So you got to, people want
more conversation from him, and he'll just
be like, alright man, good, have a good day.
I'm not going to lie, those kind of people throw me off.
Right, right, right.
No, it will.
It really will.
But he'll say stuff like, I think there was a panel for Black Lightning
that I went to, and he was like, I'm a very sensitive guy.
Boom.
That was a nugget for me.
Okay, I can go there then.
Or I'll see the way he look at Mara, the way he's in his work, the way he directs me.
I said, okay, he is very, very sensitive.
You might not see it, but he's a very sensitive man.
I'm also very sensitive.
You grow up and they tell you, don't cry.
Men don't cry.
Beat up.
Exactly.
So I met my black study teacher said, if a woman meets a man that hasn't cried in 12 years,
she has met a ticking time bomb because God has given you this to express yourself.
That's real.
And when we, as men, we can, you know, I've had buddies that check me
and just like, you know, you go home, it's like,
Dad, I'm glad you said something to me.
And you had that moment with yourself and you cry about it
and you keep on moving.
I feel like it's okay now because I do feel like,
I feel like men are a lot more sensitive than women.
From my own experiences.
It's not because I'm light-skinned,
Charlamagne.
Last time I cried was
last Friday was my 40th born day and I was
drunk as hell in Angola and I was watching
this video that all my family and friends
did.
That's his birthday, by the way.
Warm tears going down my arm.
Trying not to let nobody see me.
How did it feel?
Felt great.
I've seen Envy cry.
You have?
Yeah.
We were on the plane together, and he was watching Creed.
It was a part of Creed that just had it.
I'm on the plane.
I'm crying.
And I look over, and she's, like, taping me. I'm like, stop, stop. Did she catch you on the plane. I'm crying. And I look over and she's like taping me.
I'm like, stop, stop.
Did you catch you on the Insta story?
I cried.
Ain't nothing wrong with crying.
What moment in Creed did you cry?
I'm trying to keep asking him that.
He won't ever answer.
I don't remember what moment.
I think he was upset because he was a little out of shape
and then Michael B. Jackson.
You're right.
You're right.
I don't remember what it was.
But it made me tear up a little bit.
I don't know if he was successful. He won the boxing match. I don't know. It was, but it made me tear up a little bit. I don't know if he was successful.
He won the boxing match.
I don't know.
It was like, yeah.
It hit you.
It hit you.
I cried, but I cried.
But, you know, Yassir, and that's one of the things we wanted to show,
the vulnerability of Yassir.
And, I mean, in the pilot, in the premiere episode.
Yeah, with your mom.
With your mom.
Which is a beautiful relationship, which is a special relationship, period.
And one certainly specifically unique to us.
I mean, the details about that relationship, I think, is beautiful.
And then for him to find Nuri gives him another safe place to be.
And I think that's what love is about, too, is creating space for the individual.
All right, we have more with Maura Brock, Akil, Michelle Weaver, and Will Catlin.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We have the cast of Love Is in the Building, Michelle Weaver and Will Catlin.
And also show creator Mara Brock Akil.
Now, Charlamagne hasn't let go of Girlfriend.
Oh, guy segue.
That was classy.
Now, Charlamagne has been, he wants a closing, he wants an ending.
First of all, I've hit Mr. Akil offline about this.
That's how serious I am.
I know, I know.
Okay.
I just want to know why can't a Girlfriend movie be made
or a closure season, something.
You know, let's talk real on this.
Okay. Real, season, something. You know, let's talk real on this. Okay.
Real, real, real.
We're talking about still value in this industry and in this country and in this world.
We're at a time in even our industry where the industry is reaching back to do remakes.
You know what I'm saying?
To put things on the air from that era that Girlfriends was in.
The fans have been consistently vocal about a movie, an ending, anything.
We need closure.
We need closure.
But that's been for 10 years, consistent.
So you really have to ask, it's not up to me.
But what it's time to really talk about is this industry that we feed into
and make billions of dollars for.
It's time for them to meet us at our value.
Our audience wants it, not just domestically.
This is like global franchise.
Girlfriends is a hit all over the world and generationally now.
100%.
And so there's just money on the table.
So the question I have for the industry is why won't you take it?
So really, I don't know that answer.
Well, I kind of do, that there's still a lack of
value for an audience that has been screaming primarily black women and Charlamagne.
But it goes to show you how much we're not hurt. There was a time, and my grandmother told me,
you set your bar of value.
So there was a time in which I think I was kind of begging or hoping and praying to give that
closure very early on after. It's very emotional to write these stories and let them go. And I've
had a lot of heartbreak in my career, but I would have done it for two million. I would have done
it for five million. I would have done whatever it took because in our culture, we make $1 out of $0.15, right?
It's time to teach our children, no, I need $1 to go make this.
And so what I'm saying now, I need some money.
And let's go do this the way that the industry does it.
I need about $40, $50, $60.
I don't know.
I haven't written the script yet, but it's somewhere around there. The idea that I have foreclosure, it's a great story to end their
story of friendship, their story of love to answer the question. Can Joan have it all? Yes. With,
can you know, with some, you know, with some asterisks next to it, it's time to do that,
but I need some money. Perhaps I'm also accepting that even in this moment maybe me
having voice or having a platform to even talk about it maybe someone will hear it and write
that check and maybe it's come to a place where you know what I can actually direct the ending
to a story that I would love to do I wouldn't have done that five years ago someone else would
have directed that story is there a closure season written? Like a closure movie written?
There is a very
in-depth outline
about what the movie
I see it as a movie
and done. I don't think it's
I don't see it as a TV
series. I think, you know. I think a movie
and done would be great. A movie and done would be
awesome. Believe her alone,
Charlamagne. Can you give us a couple ideas?
Well, I will tell you, I think I...
Did Lynn become a superstar?
Did Joan get married?
Did Joan and Tony reconcile?
I will tell everybody that when the movie comes out.
Leave her alone!
Tell me, did you come up with that?
But that's also my value as a storyteller.
You want to know my story, meaning the collective you.
And I can't give that away until I can give it away at the place in which it deserves the right context.
I got two more girlfriend questions.
That's it, I promise.
I always wondered why Kelsey Grammer decided to EP a show for a black woman, especially with his views.
You know, so interesting.
Okay, here's real talk.
Okay, so at the time that I wrote Girlfriends,
the Parkers was on UPN.
So Moesha and then my mentors,
they spun off the Parkers as well.
I was approached.
I was approached.
I was on the Jamie Foxx show at that time.
And it's funny, when you leave a situation,
people want you more.
So I left Moesha to go work on the Jamie Foxx show.
And they're like, what's Mara doing?
I was just there last year.
But now, what's Mara doing? But they
have a hit at the Parker.
So I was brought in to say, hey, we want
to build on this audience that
we have found, black women.
Could we have a companion piece? So I'm
literally sitting on the couch at UPN
and they're like, you're
asking me to tell you whatever I want.
And so Sex and the City was on at the time.
And part of my, I love the show, but part of my criticism of that show is we were just
invisible again.
Black women.
No black women at all.
We're just so fun.
We did not exist.
And on the streets of New York, we can't be an extra.
It was like, we just weren't at a party.
And I wanted to sit at the table to get into this conversation about what women really are to unpack lies, right?
So I pitched them basically my version of, well, I pitched them girlfriends.
Nothing wrong with that.
White people have been doing it to us for years.
I pitched them black sex in the city.
But there was, yeah, that was in my head.
Like, I want to get in this conversation because they're leaving a lot on the table.
So then I'm pitching this
and they want it but here's the rub i sold i went i was like sling i sold straight to the network
it was like being a breach baby because then i didn't have like i didn't have i didn't have a
studio and then you go i was like but i sold a show of course and i had i girlfriends almost
didn't exist because no studio wanted to touch this show because they thought UPN was not going to make it.
And so nobody, I was like, are you kidding me?
I sell a show directly to the network and then now I can't really get it on because nobody wants to fund it.
And so because of the vertical integration that was happening in corporate America back then, Viacom, it was still under the same umbrella. Paramount was the only studio that
would possibly be the deficit financer for it. But it's late now in the development season,
so most of the money has been spent except Kelsey Grammer. So Kelsey Grammer had a shingle,
as a production company, but he hadn't sold anything in that development season. But meanwhile, he is literally,
that one show, Frasier, is holding up,
is just an ATM machine for the company.
And so he is like the 800-pound gorilla.
So when I meet his people,
I brought him something that's already sold.
Brought him a hit.
He never developed it.
They didn't develop it with me.
He's just a smart man.
It's already sold?
Yeah, I put my name on it. And so he put his name on it. And the't develop it with me. He's just a smart man. It's already sold? Yeah, I'll put my name on it.
And so he put his name on it.
And the thing I will thank Kelsey about, he stayed out of the way.
Because I don't know whether he valued it or not.
I'm not sure.
But whatever his reasons for why he wasn't around that much.
But it was strategic and good for me at that time.
And I'm thankful for that.
That at that time, Kelsey Grammer was the
s*** in TV and that helped people
go, huh? Kelsey Grammer?
It just got to your attention.
And he stayed out of the way.
And he stayed out of the way so I can just do my thing.
We were like, wow, Kelsey Grammer's this progressive that he's
tough. Well, he's not.
That's what makes sense.
I saw him supporting Trump and stuff and I'm like,
why would he ever? No, he's making that money.
Did you ever really know him? go to eat with him or anything?
Yeah, we've had, when it was time to make more money.
When we talked about the spinoff, the game, you know, he's technically built.
He's just grandfathered in because we spun it out of girlfriends.
So, yeah, that's humbling sometimes.
But I also, and this is why I'm married to Selim Akil.
He's like, and every time you get a little, some
way about it, then you
remember that he's a blessing. You thank him
every single, it's a part of your journey.
It's a part of your journey.
You stop being distracted about what it could
or should have, and you say thank you. You keep it
moving. And I was like, you know what, baby?
Thank you. Thank you.
And so I say thank you, Kelsey. We've
had a really wonderful run, and maybe, hey, Kelsey, you listening? Right And so I say thank you, Kelsey. We've had a really wonderful run.
And maybe, hey, Kelsey, you listening?
Right, right, right, right, right, right.
Seriously.
Could you live without a girlfriend's movie being made?
Now I can.
I'm now, my spiritual path is I'm really trusting in what God has planned for me.
Sometimes we can't see it.
We cannot see what's in store for us.
But I know my best interest is taken care of. what God has planned for me. Sometimes we can't see it. We cannot see what's in store for us,
but I know my best interest is taken care of.
So yes, is the short answer.
Do I still ask God to, if you want to do it,
I just want to do it at this level.
So when we talking about the $50 million of the value,
I'm speaking to, I'm not begging anymore. I'm at the value of what I believe it will be.
I would love to give closure to that because they really helped me get here today.
And I think that would just be nice to give back.
Well, they got to go, guys.
Okay, all right.
They got to go.
I got like 20 more questions.
We'll do this another time.
Love Is Tuesday nights on our own.
We're staying up late every Tuesday to make sure we watch.
Thank you.
We appreciate you guys.
To watch Love Is.
And thank you, Will Catlett, Michelle Weaver, and Marta Blah.
Well, it's The Breakfast Club.
Thank you for joining us, guys.
Thank you.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got to congratulate the godfather.
Yes.
Elvis. Elvis Duran. Congratulations godfather. Yes. Elvis.
Elvis Duran. Congratulations to Elvis.
Congratulations to Elvis Duran. He got engaged over the
weekend. Alex Carr, they are engaged.
They've been together for almost eight years.
So congratulations
to them. Alex Carr actually proposed
to Elvis Duran by opening an umbrella
inside on the
Friday the 13th and the message said, Elvis,
will you marry me?
Drop one of Clues bombs for Alex making an honest man out of Elvis.
They've been together eight years. I remember
exactly when they met. I remember
being on a roof with Elvis getting drunk
and Elvis telling us about this young
boy that he had just
It was one of the hottest days of the year
we were on the rooftop. What's the word? It's the proper word.
I don't know what the proper word is. All I can tell you is
Elvis Duran told us, hey, you know how it is.
You wake up in the morning and there's blood on the pillow.
You know what they say.
It's not a good time if there wasn't no blood on the pillow.
Eight years later, they're engaged.
Well, congratulations to them.
God is good.
My goodness.
All right.
Now, let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Azealia Banks.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The rumor report.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee.
It's the Rumor Report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, apparently, Azealia Banks had an awful experience doing Wildin' Out.
She posted, I did Wildin' Out today.
There were tons of pre-planned colorist jokes.
And, of course, Crybaby cried.
Some little scrawny black Atlanta twink was prepared for me.
They planned this, hit me on short notice, told me I didn't have to participate in the
coon-ass freestyle battles.
Not my style, and I was to sing my song and go home.
I show up, and some guy who's darker than me
starts calling me ugly and being colorist.
Then all of a sudden, a choir of the most disgustingly
basic local cattle car urban pseudo-comedic
fat-because-you-sit-in-a-chair-all-day
greasy soul food-induced South of the Mason-Dixon
self-hatred-ass-backwards-post- post-Jim Crow, post-traumatic slave disorder,
true self-esteemless, ward up the state clowns with their low skill
and highly unimpressive resumes,
started going off about how the beautiful Azealia Banks looks.
She said, I've never felt so much hate and rage for anyone else
than I did in that moment.
Needless to say, it wasn't a good experience for her,
but it is supposed to be y'all...
Jokes.
Going in on each other.
Jokes and fun.
Exactly.
I think she was saying that she wasn't there for that.
She was there to perform, but they put her in the wild style.
But here's the thing.
Azalea is definitely never going to get sympathy from anyone
when it comes to getting slandered, clowned, joked on, whatever.
Because you're slandering everyone.
Yeah, AB over the years has ditched it a lot,
so nobody's going to feel sorry for her when somebody gives it back to her.
Now, Nick Cannon reacted on Instagram.
He said, don't you hate when you create your own storms but forget your umbrella?
We are praying for you, Queen.
Speedy recovery, healing.
She wilding out for real karma.
And that's when Azalea responded.
If I were to make fun of Nick Cannon for having lupus and being weak and sickly,
if I made a joke that said he'd be dead by the end of the year, then Azealia Banks is the bad guy, right?
And then she said, pray for Nick Cannon's immune system.
All right, here's some more of what Azealia Banks had to say.
I'm sorry.
It's 2018.
Like, you know, the ugly black girl jokes is like, you know, it's just it's just it's inappropriate.
I'm sorry.
You're not going to bring me out of my element to bring me to Dusty Atlanta to sit in front of some coon ass for them to sit here and call me ugly while they got this flatty patty Queen Herbie reject looking bitch on stage talking about Wakanda reject.
Wow.
She really crazy. Now, she also said you and words will be changing Nick Cannon's colostomy bag in between takes
while you struggle to pay $650 rent in Atlanta and take plates of catering food home to eat in the morning.
See, that's funny.
She should have said that on Wildin' Out.
She goes in there.
That's what I'm saying.
That would have been perfect on Wildin' Out.
That's the energy you should have had on Wildin' Out.
She should have done that.
That's all I'm saying.
Damn. See? Here's some more of Azealia Banks talking had on Wild N' Out. She should have did that. That's all I'm saying. Damn.
See?
Here's some more of Azealia Banks talking about her Wild N' Out experience.
You would never be able to bring Meghan Trainor on this show and call her fat.
Why?
Because there would be some other white to cut your check off.
You could have went for flop.
You could have been this.
Oh, you wear too much weave.
Oh, you did this.
Oh, you never had a hit.
Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah.
But, like, you're really just, like like really just call me ugly the whole time.
And you got the mediocre light skinned bitches like you're making them feel good about themselves.
No, I'm sorry.
I'm going to stay in my little corner of the industry.
I'm going to keep working with my white men, keep dating my white men.
Every time I give you a chance, y'all just y'all y'all do me dirty.
Well, you just you can't pick and choose which slander you receive.
If a person wants to slander you about your looks,
they have the right to do that,
just like Azalea has the right to slander whoever she wants
and has for years.
And continues to do now.
That's fine.
One of the comedians there posted,
Azalea Banks came on that show, got called ugly,
tried to joke back, didn't work, cried,
then performed a weak-ass Forever 21 shopping song.
What comedian said that from while ago?
Iman Hudson.
Oh, that's my man, Iman Hudson.
He said literally there were two jokes made about her
and they weren't even bad.
It was a Cardi B reference and she was called ugly.
That's it.
She tried to joke back.
It didn't work.
The producers stopped the game
because they knew she was headed for the deep fry.
She left after the first game, came back,
and didn't say a single word to her performance.
So they said she wasn't ambushed or tricked.
She was just bitter and a weak special guest.
Now, somebody who was good on Wild N' Out is Safaree.
Now, Safaree last week.
Safaree got cooked on Wild N' Out.
He got cooked on Wild N' Out.
Drop on a Clues Bond for Chico B.
Safaree is always still a good sport, right?
Even though they were throwing things at him at Dykeman
and all of that last week after he was performing
and they weren't really filling him
and he got booed. He now has some
bars. Here's a freestyle about
Dykeman. I get you like CeeLo. Had to hold her door against me like my name's Deebo.
I'm either doing this or piss poor.
Y'all can't even tell me what y'all really pissed for.
How you mad at the niggas?
That's how you're trying to get more.
I want to close bond for Safaree, man.
I spoke to him, too.
I talked to him, too. I spoke to him over the weekend.
Let me tell you something, man.
He was kind of, he was, he was, he said he went out there and performed, and there was
one little group of dudes that were booing.
And he said he tried to ignore them.
And then he started throwing raw food at them.
What is raw food?
I don't know.
Fruits and veggies.
Raw food.
Yes, fruits and veggies.
All right, well, here's some more of Safari. Tell me that it's all good. I ain't tripping off that old issue. I'ma get money how a chicken should. Saw a tip and we shook hands.
It was never no beef, man.
Internet be running wild with this shit.
They don't even understand.
I'm glad we cleared up what raw food is,
because I'm sitting here thinking of a bunch of people at Dykeman
throwing steaks at them and chicken, raw chicken.
I'm like, why are they wasting food like that at Dykeman?
Uncooked fruits and vegetables.
I met Safaree's mom at the airport the other day.
That's nice.
A couple weeks ago.
Very nice lady.
Okay.
She raised a bad man.
She did raise a bad man.
Yes.
I keep telling you.
I'm going to tell you something.
I'm telling you.
I respect Safaree's ambition.
He will not stop.
I'm telling you.
No matter what he's throwing at him, raw food, you know, getting jumped in the street,
he will not stop.
He is going to get him a hit record.
I'm telling you.
All right, Amanda Lee, and that's your rumor report.
All right, thank you, Miss Yee.
Charlemagne!
Yes.
Who are you giving that donkey to?
We need a coupon, Carl, a.k.a.
Martin Mattson to come to the front of the congregation.
We'd like to have a word with him.
Okay, we'll get into that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Charlemagne, say the gang donkey. Char's the Breakfast Club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today?
Well, Ed Sheeran, donkey of the day for Monday, July 16th goes to a CVS employee named Maury Mattson,
known in apps on smartphones as Coupon Car.
Now, quick backstory on Maury Mattson.
He is running for Chicago City Council
and was a state delegate for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
The only reason I'm telling you this
is because these are the type of people
who be in positions of power in your communities, and you don't even know it.
Now, a black woman named Camilla Hudson was minding her damn business,
and she was in a CVS with a coupon to get some free disposable,
how do you pronounce that?
Incontinence.
Incontinence products.
Now, I have never heard of incontinence products until this morning,
but incontinence products are bladder control pads, shields, panty liners.
You know, people who sneeze hard or laugh hard,
they may have a little leakage.
Okay, that's Camilla's business, and she was just trying to handle her business
until Maury blew up her spot.
Now, according to the Chicago Tribune, Camilla tried to use the self-checkout,
but it lacked the mechanism for taking coupons,
so the store's manager, Coupon Carl, a.k.a. Maury Madsen,
offered to assist her on a register, but the whole situation
went bad when Maury called
for another manager. That manager, whose
name is not known, told Camila
they couldn't accept the voucher because he'd never
seen one like it before and accused
her of possibly handwriting
it. Now, I'm looking at the exact coupon she was
using. Looks like a regular coupon to
me. Hey, what handwritten part is that?
It has a barcode on it. Oh, let me show the camera.
He could have easily scanned the barcode to see if it was
real or not. Simple.
See? Look, can you see? Can you see, guys?
Can you see? Yeah, we have Revolt TV. Oh, it's on
Revolt? Yeah. Okay. It has a barcode
on it and everything. And there damn sure isn't
anything on this coupon that looks handwritten,
okay? Camilla Hudson was rightfully
offended at being called a liar and a
thief. And then when she was asked to leave CBS, she didn't go no damn where.
And then Maury called the police. Let's hear it.
It's a female. She's wearing a green.
Tell them I'll be here when they arrive, that I will be waiting for them to arrive.
You can tell them her name is Camilla Hudson. I have ID and will share it.
Maury, M-O-R-R-Y
Mattson, M-A-T-S-O-N
African American.
Black. No, I'm not African American.
I'm black. Black isn't a bad
word. Alright, thank you.
If you haven't seen this video,
I really hope you're watching this on Revolt TV
because I want you to see the look of terror
in this white man's eyes. Right.
He's shaking.
His arm is shaking while he's holding the phone.
Either it's really cold in that store or he has cerebral palsy.
Okay.
This is the same kind of nervous, scary energy that we don't want police officers to have.
Because when you take that fear, mix it with authority and a gun, then unarmed, innocent black people get killed.
And we can't chalk this up to just fear, okay?
I know cocaine use when I see it, all right?
That's the paranoia that comes with sniffing on that powdered mayonnaise, all right?
If Maury Madsen was that scared because Camila was using a coupon,
imagine if she would have had an EBT card.
My God.
Keep in mind, Maury Madsen is running for Chicago City Council, as I told you earlier.
And he was a state delegate for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
This is one of the people on your city council who looks into the city's goals, major projects, infrastructure improvements,
ranging from community growth to land use to finances and strategic planning.
Do you think he has any black or brown interests on the table when they are discussing the strategic planning of the city?
Huh? Do you?
This is why it's important to be involved in your local elections.
Know who you're voting for.
And this is why it's important to be involved in your local elections. Know who you're voting for. And this is why it's important to be involved
in the politics of your city. Because you yourself
could be running for city council if
Maury that works at CVS can.
And please remember to not vote
for this white-collar criminal
on election day, okay? Yes, I said
white-collar criminal. Did I say collar?
I don't know. I meant to say white-collar.
Either way, don't vote for him on election day.
Please give Maury Matchin, a.k.a. Coupon Carl, the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw.
Hee-haw.
I mean, Jesus.
All right.
What J.D. Kidd said, you're shaking like Ali holding the torch.
Yeah, he's so nerd.
What is he even?
It's a coupon.
Just get it.
Now, if he does come out and say he got cerebral palsy, we all going to feel bad, though.
Just a little.
Well, you said it.
He comes out and says it. I know, but I'm saying I'm not going to say he got cerebral palsy. We all going to feel bad, though. Just a little. Well, you said it. He comes out and says it.
I know, but I'm saying I'm not going to feel bad.
I mean, you would because we're saying that he was shaking because he was scared,
but he actually could have some type of nerve damage.
I doubt it.
All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.
Now, today is Get Out of the Doghouse Day.
National Get Out of the Doghouse Day.
That's right.
So we're going to open up the phone lines.
800-585-1051.
Are you in the doghouse and you want to get out?
Yes.
We're going to open up the phone lines and allow you to get out of the doghouse.
You might have to call up and say the person's name and say what you did.
And do all that.
Today is the day.
It's for mending the strained relationships that have been left in the doghouses.
Okay?
So some of you guys might be in the doghouse with your lady so some of you guys might be in the dog house with your lady.
Some of you ladies might be in the dog house with your guy.
You can call up right now and, you know, ask to get up out of that dog house.
Me, myself, I live life like I'm always in the dog house.
I think that's the safest place for any man.
800-585-1051.
You know who's in the dog house right now?
Who?
Chick-fil-A.
Never.
Chick-fil-A isn't, I'm going to tell you, you know, I don't get Chick-fil-A
breakfast often, right? So I got it this morning.
No, I got it this morning. They just brought
it and I get simply,
it's simply my chicken,
egg, and cheese biscuit.
That's all I get. That's my cheap
breakfast every once in a blue moon and
they messed it up. How can you mess that up?
That was messed up. Chick-fil-A rarely
messes up orders, number one. Number two, I didn't know you, that was messed up. Chick-fil-A rarely messes up orders, number one.
Number two, I didn't know you had such an intense relationship with Chick-fil-A
because National Dog House Day is for people who are in relationships, sir.
Boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, wives.
Okay?
Nobody care about you and your little fast food addiction.
Chick-fil-A is not fast food, sir.
Don't disrespect Chick-fil-A.
That's how you know it's an addiction.
You took this somewhere else, Embiid.
All right.
800-585-1051.
The question is, call us up right now.
Are you trying to get out of the doghouse?
Today is National Get Out of the Doghouse Day.
Call up and get out the doghouse.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Today is National Get Out of the Doghouse Day,
and we're opening up the phone lines.
You can get out of the doghouse.
Are you having a problem in your relationship,
and you need to call to get out?
Well, call us up right now.
How's your relationship?
But listen, if you don't know what getting out of the doghouse is,
it's a day for mending the screen relationships that have left you in the doghouse.
You might have did something to piss your wife off this weekend or piss your girl off.
Girl might have done something to piss her man off.
Or piss your husband off, yeah.
Or her husband, and now you feel like you're in the doghouse.
Are you in the doghouse?
How's your relationship right now?
No, I'm never really in the doghouse because anytime you get mad at me,
anytime my boyfriend gets mad at me, I just turn it back around on him.
That's not right.
It's what happens. Okay.
What about you, Charlamagne? I live my life
like I'm always in the doghouse. You know what I'm saying?
Me and my wife have been together 20 years.
We've been married for those 20 years.
I was a dog for most of those
20 years. So being that I was a dog,
I was always in the doghouse.
So I think that, you know, it's just appropriate
that I live my life like I've always done something wrong. You know what I'm saying? I live my life like I'm always in the doghouse. So I think that, you know, it's just appropriate that I live my life like I've always done something wrong.
You know what I'm saying?
I live my life like I'm always trying to make up for something that I did wrong.
You know what I'm saying?
You know, and the funny thing that you said that I have, I do the same thing.
Yeah, I mean, that's for y'all, man.
Like I'm always effed up.
Like I'm like, I'm continually trying to get out the doghouse.
Even though I'm out the doghouse.
Last night was an amazing night, but I still call this morning,
hey, babe, how's you doing?
When I go back to the hotel, I'm going to get some flowers.
I act like I'm in the doghouse.
I think that's the safest bet for all men.
Just always act like you're in the doghouse.
Always act like you've done something wrong,
and you're trying to make up for that wrong.
I think if we live our lives like that, do our relationships like that,
our relationships would be great.
All right, well, let's go to the phone lines.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, it's CP.
What's up, bro?
You trying to get out the doghouse, man?
I'm trying to get out the doghouse.
What you do, bro?
Oh, matter of fact, he told me what I could.
I was banging three chicks.
Oh, my gosh.
One of them came back.
Told me she had chlamydia.
Oh, my gosh.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm like, oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
For real.
Dios mio.
All that s**t. So, boom. I get tested like, oh, my God. Oh, my God. For real. Dios mio. All that s**t.
So, boom.
I get tested.
Other two girls get tested.
Nobody has it except for the one girl.
Okay, so that's where you got it.
I never had it.
I got tested.
They came back.
I didn't have it.
So, why are you in the doghouse?
Because he told on himself.
He had to tell.
Oh, he lied and said he had committed and he didn't.
You could have had something else.
I was the dog.
I didn't go tell everybody, like, look, you're s***.
That might be a pose.
Well, that was very responsible of you to let everybody
know. That is responsible.
I don't know why that was everybody's business, but I understand.
You had to tell him, man. Committee is curable,
man. You still had to tell him, man.
Get rid of it
and let everybody else deal with it on their own.
No. Hello, who's this?
DJ Envy in Mississippi.
What's up, Mississippi?
All right, man.
So I'm trying to get out of the doghouse.
I need y'all help, man.
Okay, what's the matter?
All right, what you do?
You know how Jody was on Baby Boy when she was in the car in the drive-thru?
My girl found the strap in front of the rubbers on me, man.
I didn't do it.
Found a strap?
Found the rubbers.
I didn't do it.
So whose rubbers are they?
My homeboy, man. We was at the strip club late night. Oh, my God. We don't even believe you. a strap. Found the rubbers. I didn't do it. So whose rubbers are they? My homeboy, man.
We was at the strip club late night.
Oh, my God.
We don't even believe you.
It don't sound right, bro.
Come on.
Come on, Yee.
So you have your friend's condoms?
In the car.
Hey, that was in the car, man.
Bro, I'm going to tell you something, man.
That is one of the oldest, lamest excuses for when a man gets caught with condoms.
They don't mind.
They're friends. Knock it off. Yeah. Call a man gets caught with condoms. They don't mind. They're friends.
Knock it off.
Yeah.
Okay, you're right.
I believe you, brother.
I believe you.
I believe you.
My bad.

Guy Cole.
I believe you, man.
I believe you.
Please let him out the doghouse.
800-585-1051.
Today is National Get Out of the Doghouse Day.
Do you need to get out of the doghouse?
It's all guys calling.
800-585-1051.
Hit us up now.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, today is National Get Out of the Doghouse Day.
Now, what is National Get Out of the Doghouse Day, Charlamagne?
National Get Out of the Doghouse Day is the day of mending the strained relationships
that have left people in doghouses.
Alright, so we're opening up the phone lines
and we're going to let you get out of the doghouse.
Hello, who's this? Hello?
Hey, what's up, bro? You in the doghouse?
Yeah, man, I'm in the doghouse. What you do?
I had a real bad argument with my
fiance on the weekend about,
you know, she was making a point
about how my daughter should spend more time
with my son, but I was taking it so well.
So I was treating her like she was an enemy.
And I just went real nasty with her.
And I didn't feel good about it.
Okay.
Yeah, well, you need to call up, give her some roses and flowers and apologize, bro.
You got to apologize in this present.
All right.
Hello, who's this?
My name is Lenny.
What's up, Emory?
Lenny, you in the doghouse?
What you do?
Oh, man, I'm in the doghouse, bro.
She try to keep accusing her when she's not doing anything.
Why do you keep doing that?
Are you feeling guilty yourself?
No, no, not really.
Not really.
If you do this, if you've been with a person like six years, you know, you kind of know them.
Unconsciously, you know them.
So when something changes, red flags goes up.
You know, like they say, even in the absence
of all evidence, you always know when your lover
takes another, and she's telling me
that, you know, it's not going on.
And maybe it's not, but I don't, I think
it's, I beg to differ. You sound like
you're insecure. You didn't catch her doing anything.
You don't even have any evidence or anything.
No, no, believe me, like,
I call her, and she's at work, and she'll tell me,
well, I'm with a client right now, but she's in the field a lot.
I'm in a client right now.
I can't talk.
But when she wants me for something, she'll call me, and she's with a client.
But now if I'm calling her, and I guess it's an inopportune time,
she tells me I'm with a client.
I can't talk.
I think you're going crazy, bro.
Are you sure you're not cheating
and you're guilty consciously?
Yes, and I'm telling you,
you sound like you feel guilty.
That's what it sounds like, bro.
No, you know what?
You know, they say the person,
no, I'm going to tell you,
I won't cheat
because then if I do it,
I'll say I feel like she's doing it.
Well, you feel like she's doing it now.
You know, Charlamagne, you know me.
I don't know you.
How do I know?
Why is Charlamagne always in the middle of the...
Why do I know you?
I don't know you, bro.
Tell us about him, Charlamagne.
I was opening up for Mike Epton.
You introduced me at Madison Square Garden.
Oh, there's Chicken Wing?
There's Chicken Wing?
No, I'm not Chicken Wing.
They call me the Bulldog.
Well, you're about to ruin your relationship.
I would like to say this.
I would like to say this.
I'm a boy.
I would like to say this, Mr. Bulldog.
Just because I introduced you at Madison Square Garden does not mean I know you, sir.
Y'all friends.
No, you don't know me.
Know me.
But I'm just saying.
You know, we established a rapport.
We were talking even before you introduced me.
You know, needless to say, I'm not a cheater.
I'm a good guy.
Oh, my gosh.
I was in the military.
I was in the military.
The more you talk, the less I believe you.
I'm going to be honest with you.
It's not how you get out the doghouse, sir.
You're going to ruin your relationship.
The more you talk, the less I believe you, sir.
All right.
Well, Charlamagne, stop telling your friends to call the radio station.
I'm tired of meeting people one time and they thinking that we best friends.
Yeah, you know him.
Jesus Christ.
You know him.
You know him.
My God, that's the story of my life.
You don't know him, but you know him.
What's the moral of the story, y'all?
The moral of the story is, fellas, just live life like you're in the doghouse.
That's the best way to be.
If you live life like you're always in the doghouse, you will always be on point.
You will always be doing nice things for your women.
Women, just live life like you're in a doghouse at all times.
Oh, you said women.
Oh, man.
No, you didn't.
He's in a doghouse now.
Wow.
How many women you got?
Okay.
All right.
Jesus Christ.
My goodness.
All right.
You got rumors on the way?
Yes, for all his women out there, we're going to talk about Kris Jenner.
What does she have to say about Kylie being almost a billionaire
and also why she cheated on Rob Kardashian, her ex?
All right, we'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Shout out to everybody out in Miami.
I'm broadcasting from 103.5 The Beat.
Shout out to 33 and 3rd.
Shout out to Logic.
And my partners right there.
Let's talk about the rumors.
Let's talk Uncle Snoop.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Well, I saw this story and I took it with a grain of salt over the weekend.
Originally, a woman is saying that she was having an affair with Snoop Dogg.
Selena Powell, by the way, is the same woman who lied about being pregnant by offsetting.
Exactly.
All kinds of things to try to make people think that was true.
Just another woman mad at the Black Men Don't Cheat movement and trying to derail us.
Okay.
Waka Flocka actually has a restraining order against her as well.
See what I'm saying?
Yes.
And she also had claimed that both Chief Keef and Fetty Wap had gotten her pregnant.
We don't have time for people like that that's trying to change the narrative, okay?
Black men don't cheat.
A lot of us have turned over a whole new leaf.
Faithful Black Men Association is at an all-time high.
Members are increasing every day.
Well, some people did believe it because she posted some alleged text messages between the two of them as well.
Alleged.
As well as a video of them FaceTiming each other.
By the way, it didn't even look like Snoop in the FaceTime video.
It wasn't Snoop.
But here is what Snoop Dogg had to say in response.
I want y'all to be on the lookout for my new, new TV show from executive producer Big Snoop Dogg.
This is a good one.
It's what is called Cloud Chasers.
Coming soon.
First episode next week.
Just turn Smile Bitch up, man.
Okay, Snoop, you living your best life.
You ain't going back and forth with these niggas.
So I don't know if it's a real show
called Cloud Chasers coming next week
and maybe this was promo for that
or if it was a joke.
I'm not sure, but yeah.
All right, Kylie Jenner,
let's discuss what her mom, Kris Jenner,
had to say about her being perhaps maybe the first youngest billionaire.
She was on the cover of Forbes magazine.
And if she's going at the rate that she is, she'll be a billionaire next time Forbes magazine next year talks about this list.
And she is going to be on, Kris Jenner will be on Objectified.
She sat down for an interview on Objectified.
And here's what she had to say about her daughter
knowing exactly what she wanted to do.
On November 30, 2015, Kylie launched her first three lip kits,
and this started her empire.
She had a plan for Kylie Cosmetics when she was 17
and said, okay, I finally figured out what I want to do for the rest of my life.
And I'm like, whoa, OK. And she said, it's going to be makeup.
She had meetings. She knew exactly who she wanted and what she wanted and executed it.
And I think it was, you know, 10 minutes later, her product was sold out.
Now, Kris Jenner also talks about cheating on her late ex-husband.
Well, before you go that, let me ask you a question, right? Isn't this
bamboozlement? She's selling lip
kits to people, but she's using
fillers. She's not actually using it.
Well, no, no. She did use it. Lip kits
really is just lipstick. So it's a whole
kit that you can make if you don't want to get
lip fillers. You can like fill
it in and make your lips look bigger. So she
definitely was using it. It's just lipstick.
That was a level up period of of her life, too, though,
because she turned 18, so she became legal.
She dumped Tiger, and she never looked back
and devised a plan to become a billionaire.
Yeah, I mean, the lip kit is really just lipstick.
So it's not, you know, it's a whole kit.
So it's like a liner, and then you can fill it in.
It's not like they're telling you you're going to get bigger lips.
But you can give the illusion that you have bigger lips.
All right. Now, in addition, Christiana talks about cheating on her late husband, Rob Kardashian, not her son, Rob Kardashian, her late husband.
One of my biggest regrets in my life is that that marriage fell apart.
And you had an affair with a soccer player.
And I did. I did. Which wasn't nothing I'm proud of. You know, it's something that happened that I think everything I have to live my life and feeling really good about some of my choices.
Did I love that choice? No.
But I feel like it led me to another place where I then had Kendall and Kylie.
So I always have to look back and go.
That was, I guess, unfortunately, the way it was supposed to go.
That's true.
You got to look at the bright side.
Also, cheating with O.J. bought Chloe.
So, I mean, you know.
Don't put those things out there.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Allegedly.
Yeah, you got to look at the bright side of things.
All right.
Cardi B, everybody wants to get those first baby pictures, and they've been getting offers
around $100,000 or higher so far.
That's light.
That's light.
So far, a lot of magazines and photo agencies have been reaching
out. Now, according to reports,
both Cardi and Offset have no desire to make
a deal until their daughter's at least five or
six months old. So nothing's happening
anytime soon. I'm sure that number's going to go up.
Dropping the clues bombs for young culture, damn it.
I hope they patented that name too.
I hope they trademarked that name. Alright,
and let's talk about gifts, gifts, gifts.
T.I. has bought Tiny a brand-new car full of gifts for her birthday.
He shared a video on Instagram of him surprising Tiny
with a brand-new black convertible, red leather seats.
It's a Benz.
Do you have more information about this car, Envy?
Yeah, it's the Benz Coupe.
It's a Benz 500.
If you want to know price, it's about $130,000,
and it was filled in the back with Christian Louboutin shoes.
I mean, that's his wife.
That's what he's supposed to do.
I always turn to you when it's a type of car situation because I know you know a lot more about
cars than I do. Now, she posted
thank you so much, Mr. Harris, for showing
up on my actual birthday and showing out.
I really, really love this car and all the other
nice gifts and I just wanted to tell you how
thankful I am regardless of whatever you have done
more for me, regardless of whatever you have done more for me,
regardless of whatever you have done more for me
and show me more love than most will ever have a man to do,
given a lifetime.
You know why?
And I appreciate you for that.
By the way, I'm having an amazing birthday.
Thank you to everyone who made this day a special one.
It's because T.I. always lives his life like he's in the doghouse,
as every man should.
Drop on the clues bombs for T.I., okay?
Pivoting out of the doghouse
