Good morning, Angelie. I couldn't do that. I'm sorry. Good morning, Angelie. Good morning, DJ Ami. Charlamagne Tha God. Hey, peace to the planet. It's Thursday.

It's Thursday. What's up, Yee? What's up? I'm still out here in San Francisco. I'm exhausted. Oh, you're tired. You've been running around. I've seen you've been doing a whole bunch of things out there.

Yeah, I'm actually out here for a Samsung, and they just introduced the Galaxy Fold, the S10, and more items yesterday. They usually bring one up here for me. They didn't bring one up for you yet? Not yet? Okay, next week. It's not out yet. You relax.

Okay. I haven't though. Oh, excuse me. We'll talk about that later in Front Page News. Yee, when's the last time you seen a prostitute? Um, like last week.

Really? Where? No, I'm kidding. I haven't seen a prostitute last week. I seen a prostitute this morning. What up, Charlamagne? Well, that's a nice segue. I said, when is the last time you...

That's a nice segue. No, not Charlamagne's not the prostitute. When's the last time you seen a prostitute? Why would I ever see a prostitute? First of all, I don't think you just see prostitutes. Yeah, I did. I just seen one this morning. I was at the light. You're about to have to announce yourself.

No, I was at the light. Where were you, looking for one? I was looking at a woman and said, hey, that's a prostitute. I was at the light. She came up to the car? No, she didn't come up to the car. I was at the light. Somebody was in front of me. Hey, we're looking for a good time. No, she didn't say it like that. New York? Yeah, New, that's a prostitute. She came up to the car? No, she didn't come up to the car. I was at the light. Somebody was in front of me.

Hey, looking for a good time? No, she didn't say it like that. In New York? Yeah, in New York, right down the block. She had a sign on? No, she didn't have a sign on, but it's like 30 degrees in New York, right? She had on high heels, a short, short, when I say short, short skirt, I'm not listening to the story.

She had a short, short skirt on. She was white. And a garter belt with but no panties on. So she approached the car in front of me. That's not like an undercover police officer, by the way. Well, he lifted up the back of her skirt, and she had no panties on. The person in the car did that? Yes. So that was her pimp, probably.

I don't know, but she was a prostitute. Sounds like the deuce. How do you know she was a prostitute? I still don't even understand where you get the prostitute part from. I just told you all that stuff and you don't think she was a prostitute? No. What do you think? Maybe they knew each other.

I just think she's a loose woman or maybe that's a woman that he knows that he's sleeping with. Now, how can you judge that she's loose by that? That is true. She walked up to the car. She walked around with no panties and 30 degrees. She walked up to the guy's car with high heels. Maybe that's her boyfriend and they were role playing. Or maybe that's her husband and they were trying to spice things up.

She could have been a Jehovah's Witness. At 6 o'clock in the morning with no panties on, 30 degrees, walking up to a car with high heels on. Could be field service on a Thursday morning. What did you say, Nelly? You're not wearing panties. Oh. What? Does she have a noose around her neck?

Shut up, man. I'm not messing with y'all. Does she have a noose around her neck? See, I didn't see. Did you see him throw bleach on her? No. No. No bleach.

Was he wearing a ski mask? No noose, no. Okay, just making sure. No, no. All right, well anyway, I've seen a prostitute. I haven't seen one in forever. Did you report it?

If you see something, You still don't know if that was a prostitute. What do you think it was? I think that it was her and her husband and they were role playing and she said,

I'm going to come up to the car like I'm a prostitute. At 5.50 in the morning, 30 degree weather is freezing outside. That's the ultimate role play. This is the funniest New York Post cover ever. Front page of the New York Post is a picture of Jussie Smollett and it says...

Liar. Liar. That's all it says on it. L-I-A-R. Liar, liar. Jesus Christ, Jussie. Geesh. Amen.

All right. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about, Ye? Well, we are going to talk about Samsung because they did have this unpacked event here in San Francisco. So that's front page news. Also, we are going to be talking about a couple who says that somebody confronted them during a baby's photo shoot and hit the balloons. The baby was crying. We need proof of all confrontations from here on out.

They recorded it. Okay, there we go. All right. You should have recorded, there we go. All right. All right. You should have recorded it, Envy. All right. I'm talking about Jussie. I was about to pull up my phone and record the prostitute, but I was like, something's wrong.

I'll get arrested for this. I was like, let me just mind my business. Liar. Did you know Jussie got jumped by two Nigerian prostitutes in Chicago? Did you know that? I didn't know that. I didn't know that. Anyway, Front Page News is next.

Don't forget, this morning, Anthony Joshua will be joining. Hey, speaking of big-ass Nigerians. Now, explain to the people who Anthony Joshua is. Anthony Joshua is the unified heavyweight champion. He's from the U.K. He holds all the heavyweight belts. Deontay Wilder has the WBC belt. But Anthony Joshua has all the rest of them.

And he's fighting for the first time in America on June 1st. Okay. Ladies love him. All right. So we'll talk to in America on June 1st. Okay. Ladies love him. All right. So we'll talk to him later on. So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Good morning, everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? Well, let's talk about Samsung now. They had their huge unpacked event out here in San Francisco. I was actually there. And they talked about Samsung now. They had their huge unpacked event out here in San Francisco. I was actually there.

And they talked about new devices. They have the Galaxy Fold, which is going to be coming in April, April 26th. I don't know if you guys saw that, but it actually is a tablet-sized device that folds in half to make it more compact. They have the Galaxy S10 and more items as well that are available. The Galaxy S10+, which is what I have now, and other devices like for fitness and the watch and all of that. The Galaxy Fit, the Galaxy Watch Active, all of those things are arriving on March 8th, and they're going to have earbuds as well.

Yeah, shop the Samsung. Their cameras are always dope. Samsung usually sends me one. We haven't got that yet, Eddie? Next week? Next week, mine is coming. Let me tell you what's really amazing about this camera is that it has the wide Next week? Next week, mine is coming. Let me tell you what's really amazing about this camera is that it has the wide

angle as an option also so you can capture everything in the room and the pictures look awesome. Is this a phone or just a camera? A phone. But the camera on the phone is amazing. It's always amazing. It's amazing how we get phones nowadays, but we get them for the cameras. Yeah, you know what makes it great

though? Because people used to have to carry an actual camera and carry a phone, you know, if you want to take better pictures. But the pictures and the quality of even the videos are really amazing. So really, all you need is that now. You know what I really want? What?

Just a phone. No, you don't. You'd be so mad if you didn't have a camera on your phone. No, I won't. I promise you I won't. I don't want none of the extras no more. No, it's easy.

Because I was even thinking about it the other day. Like, I got to start printing my pictures out from my phone. Because right now, all my memories are on my phone. If I lose my phone or there's a problem with iCloud, I don't have those memories no more. It's not like I have a book anymore where I can go through the pictures. I got to start printing these pictures.

You better put them in the iCloud. Just a bunch of distractions. I just want to be able to call and get calls. And there's a lot of people who are really like photographers. You know, I have a professional camera too, so now I barely ever bring it anywhere. All right, now let's talk about a couple who has had to press charges on this woman. Her name is Francie Nelly, and they're calling her Sidewalk Sally. So they were taking pictures of their one-year-old baby when Francie actually approached them, and she just went crazy. Here's a video that they recorded on their cell phone of the woman slapping the phone and slapping balloons as they were taking pictures of their one year old.

You brought your dog here to bite my child. Shame on you. She is crazy. You're crazy. See, see. Good, good. You just hit me, right? You just hit me, right? You just hit me. And I have that on camera too. Look at what you're doing. Look at what you're doing. Okay. And you have brought me to see you. Victim. Victim. And you hit my phone twice. There you go.

Wait a minute, Yee. Blood clots up your mother. That's fine. No, it is not your property. This is my property. Yes. You're messing with me. And I am moving your property.

Yee, so this was a Jamaican family taking pictures of their one-year-old, and this lady came around and started smacking the blue, being crazy? And Francie Neely, who, by by the way is a socialite in Houston and she's the ex-wife of Houston Astros owner Jim Crane. Jamaicans ain't what they used to be, clearly. Where the machetes? Well, maybe not the machetes. I'm sure she should have got slapped.

You start smacking my baby, my pictures and all that. You branded that machete one good time. I bet Sally would have got the running. Francie Neely, aka Sidewalk Sally, released a statement. She said, I'm very sorry. I got upset on late Saturday afternoon. Putting it in context, however, I saw three commercial photography shoots in one block at the same time. Something that happens frequently when I explain the situation to the first and third groups. They were respectful.

The couple whose photo shoot obstructed the walkway was not. It's hard to remain composed when confronted by shouted threats of lawsuits and false inflammatory accusations. Mind your business because it was actually a walkway that is public for public use so they can take

those pictures legally. They can do whatever they want. You don't own the property. What city was this? This is Houston. Oh, they lucky. They lucky it wasn't one of Gear's photo shoots

because Gear be out there for hours with my family, boy. And Gear's Jamaican side would have whooped that lady's ass. Suck your mother, Sally. You should get Jussie Smollett to send her a copy of Shottas. Okay.

Okay. We're going to get Jussie Smollett to send Sally a copy of Shottas. Oh, my goodness. Sounds a mess. Yes. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Why would he have a copy of Shottas, huh?

I don't know. Those are Nigerians, not Jamaicans. What are you talking about? You know what? Get it off your chest. Justin can be whatever he wants to be, okay? 800-585-1051. He's an actor.

800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent call us right now, or maybe you want to spread some positivity again. 800-585-1051 is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

President Barack Obama was at the game.

Barack was there. And with it less than a minute, he got the ball and his sneaker really exploded. 36 seconds in the game. Yeah, pretty bad. Is his knee okay, though? I didn't hear nothing about that. They said it's a minor sprain. A minor sprain, he's going to be out at least a week.

If I'm Zion, I'm icing it for the rest of the season. I'm Uli Bo. I see y'all in the NBA. I'm sitting out to the draft. All right, well, I hope he gets a speedy recovery because, you know, me and the kids stayed up late last night to watch that game. That game came out like 9.30, 9 o'clock,

and that was late for me. Very important to note, too, Zion Williamson is from South Carolina dropping the Clues bombs for Big Zion, baby. South Carolina born and bred. He will be playing for the Knicks, you know, in New York, hopefully. Cross our fingers, cross our toes, and everything else. All right. Cross our toes?

Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Well, Jussie Smollett has been indicted for a felony following a false police report, and he could face one to three years in prison.

So they handed down that indictment yesterday after they heard testimonies and evaluated evidence. They also saw the brothers in the store purchasing the items that they purchased in order to fake this whole attack, allegedly against Jussie Smollett. Now, on his behalf, his attorneys released a statement. They said, like any other citizen, Mr. Smollett enjoys the presumption of innocence, particularly when there has been an investigation like this, one where information both true and false has been repeatedly leaked. Given these circumstances, we

intend to conduct a thorough investigation and to mount an aggressive defense. I think people who are close to Jussie right now should keep a real eye on Jussie because I think Jussie is going to attempt suicide. Do we want close to Jussie right now should keep a real eye on Jussie because I think Jussie is going to attempt suicide. Do we want to see Jussie go to jail? Or attempt to harm himself in some way.

I don't want to see Jussie go to jail, though. Oh, he did waste some time and resources. He did. He did a whole Good Morning America interview. Yeah, he did. So if it's not, it's an alleged assault still. I don't want to see him go to jail, though. It's not about what you want to see.

I'm just asking. Do you want to see the man go to jail though? Yeah. He deserves to pay for this crime. Absolutely. You're playing with people's emotions. You know what I'm saying? You're pulling on people's hearts. You're weaponizing things like racism. You're weaponizing things like homophobia. We already live in a very, very tense

racial climate out here in these streets, okay? Stuff like this can cause a civil war. You're right, but I don't want to see him go to jail. Now, do you want to see him lose his job on Empire? I want to see things shake up a little bit, but go to jail, you know? Now, previously, Fox had said that he continues to be a consummate professional on set,

and they said he is not being written out of the show, but now, according to Variety, Fox is considering removing him from production, and they're going to figure out whether they need to suspend him after he was charged yesterday. By the way, just playing white devil's advocate. If this was a white man who did this,

because this is no different. This is the same energy that got Emmett Till killed. Right. Okay? Stuff like this happens all the time in these streets. If this was a white person who did that, you'd want them under the jail. You're right.

So you got to keep that same energy when it comes to Jussie Lyne. Yeah. All right? You got to keep that same energy when it comes to Jussie Lyne. Yeah. All right? You got to keep that same energy when it comes to Jussie Lyne. I feel bad for him. All right, now let's talk about another report, and this is on someone who got donkey of the day from Charlemagne yesterday.

You know who that is? Who? Tristan. Oh, I forgot. Now there's a new report from DailyMail.com where they're saying that Tristan spent Valentine's Day with Khloe, but Valentine's Night he actually went to a late night singles party. It was at

Jordan Clarkson's home who plays for the Cavs and they said there were some Cavalier plays there but it was mostly girls there. It was a ratio of about 7 to 1 girls to guys. What a rookie move. They said Tristan came in at 11.30 p.m. and they were asking why is he not with Kh? And people even asked him

hey, what's up with Chloe? Where's Chloe? And he just laughed. And they said there is a cell phone video from inside the party with supposedly of him and the two girls. I haven't seen this, but according to the Daily Mail, the footage is blurry. But the whole house was decorated with Valentine's Day decorations and one person reports

they saw him drinking and taking shots at the bar, and then he was flirting and exchanging numbers with girls who came up to him, and that he was actually grabbing butts of the girls and went upstairs with two girls and disappeared for about 35 minutes and then came back down, and they said it looked like something happened. He had to be high or something. See, the thing about Valentine's Day that people need to remember, a day is 24 hours. So you got to be with your main sugar stain

for that whole 24 hours. Yeah, she showed up at 11.30 p.m. Nah, bro, that's not how this works. You can't be with her just during the day. I mean, or a few hours at night. The full 24, bro. That's why you got a whole day the next day to do the side chick thing.

All right. If you choose to. Not at all. You shouldn't, though. No. Because black men don't cheat. Black men don't cheat. Well, so you're saying He's not black

Nope I don't know what he is That's exactly what we're saying He's not one of us You're questioning his blackness Alright I think he's from Canada Alright

Is he considered black If you had to keep one Who would you keep Tristan or Jesse Oh they both can get The hell up out of here You know what I take Tristan though

Because Tristan is just Listen we've all Y'all would be cute together But but he's a little tall for you. We've all been Tristan. I've been Tristan. Can you say his name again? No. I've been a dumbass, cheating-ass Negro. Maybe Negro.

You can't spell Tristan without T-R-Y-S-T. Alright, now Blac Chyna and Soulja Boy What's wrong with you? It appears that they have broken up according to a source close to them. They told TMZ the relationship all started as kind of a get back at Tyga. It was revenge on Tyga. That's why they started dating in the first place.

You know, because obviously Tyga is Blac Chyna's ex and Soulja Boy and Tyga had a little back and forth issue. But now it says that there's other factors involved in them breaking up. They said that Soulja Boy and Chyna just aren't on the same wavelength. He likes to go out and party and hang out with friends. She really would rather just Netflix and chill and relax in the house. So as a result, they said that Soulja Boy just didn't seem ready to commit. I'm tired of hearing about Blac Chyna breaking up with people. She break up with people every two weeks.

Didn't she just have a boyfriend a couple weeks ago? Wasn't she just in Hawaii? Yeah, she sure did. Uh-huh. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee and that's your rumor report. Listen, serious though, you need to put Jussie Lyon

on Suicide Watch. I'm telling you. Isn't he turning himself in today? Yes, he is. Yep, today. A question. If he fakes a suicide attempt, I don't want to say

fakes a suicide attempt. Yeah, don't say that. If he attempts suicide, right? Yes. Would you believe it? If you heard that come out this weekend and he attempted suicide, would you believe it? Yes.

Okay. I take that seriously. Anybody threatening that or saying that. I take hate crime serious, too. See what happened when we believed that one. I mean, look, I did. Listen, you know, we're looking at all the evidence. Obviously, when he first said that that happened to him, I didn't have a reason to think that

he would lie about that. And now evidence is showing otherwise. So I didn't kind of shift it. I didn't believe it. So. Listen, he's the king of make-believe. He's the gay Walt Disney. He's the gay Walt Disney. Yesterday he was the gay Tupac, today he's the gay Walt Disney.

He's the gay Walt Disney. He's the king of make-believe. You know what? I can't with you today. I really can't with you today. We got front page news. He's the king of make-believe. We got front page news coming up. He's the gay Mr. Rogers. Wasn't Mr. Rogers the king of make-believe? Now who would be stupid enough to hang up flyers telling people that they want to sell drugs? We'll tell you who it was.

Wait, how can you be the gay Mr. Rogers? Wasn't Mr. Rogers? Don't you do that to Mr. Rogers. All right. You've never seen the documentary, was it? Nothing gay about Mr. Rogers. He had a documentary? Yes.

It's actually pretty good. You got to watch it. He was gay? Yeah. No. I'm going to be honest with you. I really don't know. I have no idea what that man's sexuality is.

All right. All right. Front page news is next. And then Anthony Joshua will be joining us next hour. All right? So don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

And within the first minute, I mean, these tickets were going for crazy prices. $3,000, $4, Zion, he plays for Duke. It was a big game, Duke versus UNC. South Carolina's own, damn it. And within the first minute, I mean, these tickets were going for crazy prices. $3,000, $4,000 for tickets. Barack Obama was actually in attendance.

People were really coming to see this game and to see this young man play. South Carolina product is big box office, baby. Within less than a minute, his sneaker just damn near exploded. His sneaker really just exploded, fell apart, and he sprained his knee. So he only played for like 37 seconds, so he'll be out for the next week. Terrible promo for Nike. Terrible, terrible commercial for Nike. Okay, big game like that, North Carolina versus Duke,

44th president of the United States of America, Barack Obama in attendance, everybody watching, and your bum-ass sneaker blows out. Yeah, pretty bad. What kind of sneaker was that? I've never even seen that sneaker before. I don't know. I really don't know. That's disgusting. Yeah, that was pretty bad. Come on, man. What kind of sneaker was that? I've never even seen that sneaker before. I don't know. I really don't know. That's disgusting.

Yeah, that was pretty bad. Come on, man. What else you talking about, Yee? Breaking news, Jesse Smollett is under arrest. He is in the custody of detectives. He has turned himself in. Are we sure about this?

Well, yes. Are these detectives Nigerians? How stupid. This is in the news and they actually posted that felony criminal charges have been approved and they are actually going to have a press briefing at 9 a.m. at Chicago Police Headquarters.

I can't wait for the mugshot. The mugshot might be the new Michael Jordan crying face meme, ladies and gentlemen. This might be one of the greatest mugshots we've ever seen. Okay? Mm-mm-mm. All right, now let's talk about a freshman at the University of California, Santa Cruz. He's facing some jail time. Colin Riley Howard, 18 years old.

He actually made an app that he called Banana Plug. And that app was for selling things like shrooms and meth and cocaine and molly and all of those things. That sounds like a gay hookup app. Well, you know why? Because I guess that's their mascot. What, a banana? Yeah, something like that. So it's called Banana Plug.

So I guess he's the plug at the school. It's like a, whatever, they have a, they use this banana as their mascot. So anyway, police discovered the app because he was actually advertising the app on campus. So he had flyers up where you could buy shrooms, you could buy Molly, and then he had the app. And they had undercover officers go and buy stuff from him 40 times from his dorm room. Yes? He's bugger. He's crazy.

He has a maximum of 20 years in prison. I mean, listen, a lot of things that people do nowadays are actual crimes, but for whatever reason, they think they're illegal. I think because they see so much of this on social media, people doing these criminal activities, that maybe, just maybe, they do

think it's legal. Well, clearly not. I mean, you gotta be dumb for that, though. Yes, you do. Alright, and Samsung has introduced the Galaxy Fold, the Galaxy S10, and other devices as well. They had their Unpacked event in San Francisco, so if you want to get that new Samsung Galaxy

And they're also going to have the earbuds as well that you can use with those devices, along with the Galaxy Fit, the Galaxy Watch Active, and other wearables. Okay. So make sure you get that. All right. Well, that's front page news. Now, when we come back, professional boxer Anthony Joshua will be joining us.

But he's fighting on June 1st at Madison Square Garden. This is his first time fighting in America. He holds every heavyweight championship

belt except for one, which is the WBC title that my man Deontay Wilder holds. And we're going to find out why Anthony Joshua is ducking all real competition in the heavyweight division. He got all the belts. How's he ducking? We're going to find out why he's ducking all the real competition in the heavyweight division, okay?

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.

Everybody, it's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, sir. Y'all from the United Kingdom.

He's a heavyweight champion of the world, 22-0, Anthony Joshua. Welcome, sir. Good morning. Thank you for having me. Who is Anthony Joshua for the Americans that don't know? It's a normal guy coming to boxing when I was 18. And I only used it as a route to kind of better myself as a person. I was smoking, drinking, partying, trying to be something that doesn't represent my community properly,

in my opinion. So through boxing, healthy, sleeping better, surround myself around different kind of people. And that's just who I am now. Just trying to live my positive life through the sport. How'd you get into boxing? Was it? My cousin took me.

So I got banned from the area I grew up in. For fighting too much? Now was this Nigeria or the UK? This is UK. Okay. Yeah. So we went to Nigeria when I was younger. Went to school there for a bit, came back.

Getting in a little bit of trouble. It's that period when you leave high school and you're trying to make that transition to like college or university. So I was figuring out what I want to do in the real world. But in those two years, got into a bit of trouble, left where I grew up, went to London and I was chilling with my cousin and he was boxing. So I thought, let me get involved in this. And it was mainly the lifestyle it gave me, changed my life around. What do you call a bit of trouble?

Like, you was thugging in the streets of the UK? I wouldn't call it thugging. I'm smarter than that. I'm not trying to be. I wasn't trying to be a thug as such, I think. Thug, you mean thug. You said thug. Thug.

Thug. Is that what you said, yeah? Thug, thug, thug. Thug, okay. Don't let him correct you. Nah, nah, I'm in the States. I'm going to embrace the culture. You're big in them.

Don't let him correct you. I'm going to embrace the culture. I can run pretty fast. So, I wasn't so much thugging, but I was looking for opportunity in the wrong places. Okay. Yeah, so in the short term. Was that like selling drugs?

Wouldn't really. Just connecting the dots. So if I wanted some drugs, I'd be like, Anthony, you know where to get the drugs at. Not so much the drugs. Anything. Anything. Anything.

TV screen. I got it. TV screen. Radio rims. Yeah, yeah. Anything. Anything. But when. I got it. TV screen. Radio rims. Yeah, yeah. Anything. Anything. But when I pulled myself away from certain situations

and I had time to sit back and think for myself, that's when it wasn't about him, him, or what they want to do. It was about me. And that's when I fixed myself up. Now, you're associated with the UK. You're raised in the UK. That's home.

But Nigeria is your root, though, right? Yeah. So my parents, they came to the UK. So I'm born in the UK. So I'm first generation in the UK. How did the stardom of Anthony Joshua start? Because you're 23 and all. You make like 20 million a fight from what I heard.

How long have you been making 20 million a fight? I don't know if I'm making 20 million a fight. I don't like to talk about money and stuff. You can punch him in the face. I don't like to talk about money. I mean, that means you're a big star. You're selling at the O2 Arena every time you fight. 80,000 plus people.

You know what it is? I feel like, all right, when I first started boxing, the global financial crisis was in 2008. So there was no investment into sport from big corporate companies. So what then happened is that as I was progressing, I went to the Olympics in 2012 when they just start coming out of the recession. Right. I made sure I connected with the people.

Instead of showing people I'm a fighter, I just showed them my gym training. So I was building my brand alongside the economy and then just be myself as well and just dedicate myself. That's just my strategy. And that's how people got invested and interested and followed my roots from the grass um to championship level but that's what a lot of people think about you they think that you're just a brand that was created like you're a good looking guy you got the muscles let's just let's just let's just promote this guy and market this guy and create something but they don't believe you're like a legitimate champion someone asked me the other day what does it take to kind of be

a champion i don't know. It's a good question. I said, I feel like DNA, because you are who you are. So with that, let's say muscles and stuff, that's just DNA. I said environment. So I placed myself in the gutter,

took myself to championships all around the world. And I came out on top most of the time. And applying myself, and I applied myself. And I was strategic with all my moves. Just keep my nut down. Because it's... Keep your nut down but we call that head head my nut yeah so we call that nut keep my nut so we've got thugging and we've got nothing i thought that was a new way to let you say so just keep my head down yeah and i don't know i think down before fights though right you're gonna get your right down before fight yeah though, right? You got to keep your a** right down before fights. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's what they say. And that was it. That was the strategy. Just keep my nut down, keep my head down, keep focused. No BS, no nonsense. Why the hell did your finger bleed? Ah, just training. Why did your knuckles bleed?

Why did your hand look like that? That's what I was looking at. You just punched your head? First of all, you need some lotion, bro. What kind of... I can't have you... Come on now. You representing...

You just trained. How do you train? Yeah, this is serious business. You're hitting the wall. Big Baby pushed you and you in that. Come on now. You representing the UK. Did you just train? How do you train? Yeah, this is serious business. You been hitting the wall? Big Baby pushed you and you got mad when you started hitting walls yesterday or something? Big Baby. This was before Big Baby.

Why are your fingers clean? What happened? Stress, stress, stress. What do you mean stress? Stress. That's a little more. You bite your thumbs or something? No, he don't bite his knuckles.

Who bites their knuckles? I give you $10 if you punch Charlotte right now. We give you $10. We're going to need $20 million for that. You've been hitting the wall, Michael. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Why? What you mad?

Stress, stress, stress. Was this after the first time I said that? No, this was in the UK. This was in the UK. This was in the UK. Hitting the walls of your castle? Like, what the hell's going on, AJ? No castle.

I'm trying to get to the castle, but first and foremost, you've got to think of your family. Okay. And I always feel like if you can't bring your family together, how can you bring a community together or bring the world together so it's a struggle trying to get all my family together and understand where i'm trying to take them and what

we're trying to do and stuff like that so yeah that's stressful sometimes your family split apart like yeah i've got a big family okay and they all coming out now that you're back yeah and i love it though because without family who we got so i'm just trying to get them to understand is that even though they're with family there's love but with family we we have to understand economics and plan for the future so i'm not the type to have like too many material things because right now i'm just trying to supply my family with uh the elder generation with an easier life because they made some mistakes they had it tough my generation have to work hard because you still got the energy and the younger generation i want to make sure they have a good education

all right we got more with anthony joshua when we come back you know he's a boxer he's from britain and he gets busy lost no fights we'll talk to him some more don't move it's the breakfast club good morning everybody it's dj envy angela yee charlamagne the god we are the breakfast club we have professional boxer World heavyweight champion In the building Anthony Joshua Shalameen Are you scared to lose

This lifestyle you're living By fighting a real champion? No it's not so much The lifestyle I'm living That was a little stab Like you ain't fighting No real champion We're gonna get into that

That's what I'm saying We're gonna get into that It's good good This is what we're here for as well $20 you punched me in the face It's gonna keep going up During the interview It's $20 million a fight

Why would he punch me for $20? He might get there after this. Come on. Are you insulting? You going to let him insult you like that? Nah, nah, look. If you just look at the stats

and the facts, I've outperformed, beaten better champions, been in the game less time, changed the game, and I just feel like none of these guys can compete with me

when it comes to stats and facts. I just think right now you have Luis Ortiz out there. He's a good fighter tyson fury good fighter you have dionte wilder why fight big baby miller at this point in your career if you want to be looked at as one of the elite if they look at you as one of the elite why not fight one of those three i agree with you it's a good question it's a good question so it's a perfect move to come to usa and fight like i'm fighting in msg he's from brooklyn Brooklyn New York so it made sense to fight and then once I established myself here then we look straight at the Luis Ortiz's if Wilder or Fury

isn't ready because my strategy was to fight Wilder in April because he was about this one face one name champion so we was all right cool Wilder has earned 10 pound we're gonna offer him X he wants all the belts we've got all the belts biggest biggest stadium but he wasn't interested, so now what we've done, we've come to the States as well to show that if you don't want to do it on our turf we can come here and we can box on your turf as well so it's just a power move as well as a passionate move for the love of the sport

and then once I get Big Baby out of the way if Wild and Fury are still not interested because they were talking about blacklisting me, they don't really want me to be leading the pack as such in terms of negotiations which is weird to me because there's enough for everyone to eat then i can look at straight directly at louis ortiz because that's the next guy that i feel like once i've broken the market in the usa he's a good uh fighter to fight i told him like he trashed it i will tell

you that he's not on louis ortiz tyson fury or wilder's level no that's he's right he's right do you think you can beat any of those guys? A hundred percent. I'm on record as saying I don't think you can beat any of those guys. Ortiz, Fury, or Wilder. But that's wilders right now.

The man gets 20 million to fight. How long we got? A little bit of time. It's 40 hours. Would you rather be talking behind your back or talk to you?

I don't know. We're having a conversation. It's a nice guy. But what I feel is good because I used to carry this whole division on my own back. But now it's good to have opinions. Yeah, I had to have a big back. I had to build myself up.

You know, have a thick skin because opinions and so on. But now it's good to have, oh, I don't think you can beat Wild. I don't think you can beat Fury. The division is thriving as a whole. Everyone's bringing something to the table now. Wild just last two fights, though. He fought Ortiz. Tough fight.

Fought Fury. Tough fight. Those two hard back-to-back fights. They are hard back-to-back fights. bringing something to the table now. Wilder's last two fights, though he fought Ortiz, tough fight, fought Fury, tough fight, those two hard back-to-back fights. They are hard back-to-back fights. And I think he realized that if he wants to get the respect as a champion, he can't have 38 fights,

40 fights without fighting. They're incredible. So I think he's realized that, you know, I want to be popular in the States. I want to hang around with the athletes and the movie stars.

And to get the respect amongst people in my own industry, I need to fight people so it's taken him 10 years to grow that confidence which is fine but now he's here and he's got a young champion

coming through we have been negotiating trying to get this fight made and I'm sure it will happen because we're in the same era same division there's no reason why it can't happen

it's just timing unfortunately we feel that same way about you though we saw you fight Klitschko but I mean who since then so in my 16th fight took the title defended it against We feel that same way about you though We saw you fight Klitschko But I mean who Who since then So Parker

In my 16th fight Took the title Defended it against Dominic Brazil Who Wilder's probably gonna fight next So it's like Why are you going Backwards

But anyway So fought Brazil Bang So now I had my hand on one belt Three fights later I took another belt Beat Parker Took his belt

So now I'm saying I've collected everything So it's like Lord of the Rings. I've got all four. Wilder, come and see me. If you think you're the best in the world and the king of the division, come and beat me and prove it. And then you can run wild and be there, you know, negotiate them crazy terms that you're

talking about. Now, what were the crazy terms? Because Wilder said he was willing to come fight on your turf. He said he was willing to take less money. What was the problem? That's the thing I couldn't even tell you. Yeah. As I said, April 13th, we had the date set.

I can't really control what Wilder says or what he does. Just know, say that when he's ready, we're ready. And whatever he's done in his career, we can surpass that and double it, triple it, and give him a better offer than he's ever seen before and give him a shot at becoming one of the best fighters in history. Did you hear when he was on The Breakfast Club? I've heard a lot of his interviews.

I'll definitely listen to it now. But we got it right here. We got you. Okay, cool, cool. I had to deal with Sky Sports. They wanted me to come over and commentate for them. And I told them I'd come on one condition. I'd get in the ring with Joshua at the end of the night.

Can we pause it and talk about something? A couple of days later, I get a phone call from my manager. You want to pause that? So we talked about the Sky Sports thing. So I said, the only time I've let someone in the ring after the fight is when I signed the deal. So Klitschko got in the ring with me because we had a deal signed. It was like, let's get him in the ring after I win.

And now we promote the fight saying the date set, the fight set. Wilder wanted to come without signing no contract. I said, why are you getting in the ring? This ain't about building profiles or hype. If you're serious and you want to get in the ring, let the world know we've got a fight. If you're not serious and you haven't signed the fight, there's no need to get in the ring

because this is my show. Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, so it was just like, sign the contract. Let's do the deal. Then get in the ring and we'll announce to the world that, listen, the next two champions are fighting each other and there's going to be one face. By that time, we had no deal in place.

So I said, don't waste your time or my time. The fight's already big. We don't need to... Let's not waste no problem. Yeah, that's what in place. So I said, don't waste your time on my time. The fight's already big. We don't need to. Let's not waste no promo. Yeah, that's what it was. So that was that situation. That was my view on that situation. I like how you're producing this.

Tell them. Coach Joshua talking about upping the security on me. I even heard about restraining orders and stuff. Saying he don't want to hype the fight. You know, for what? And, you know, and it's promoter. You know, he always. No, you know, he always... No, no, no.

No, he's kind of true, but no restraining orders. I'm not really into like, hey, up the security. Wilder's not coming anyway, so why am I worrying about upping the security? It's just a situation

where sign the contract, it's a good fight to promote, get in the ring, we can talk till the cows come up. Yeah, yeah. But his point is 75% right. They don't want to fight me.

You know what I mean? They don't want to fight me. Oh, Joshua has a fear of losing and they know I'm the most dangerous man in this game. In terms of the most dangerous man in this game, I don't really...

Opinions are fine. I don't really believe that. He's a good talent, but I don't think he's the most dangerous man in this game. In terms of fear of losing, of course, that's how I feel. I don't want to lose.

But neither does he. But it's not a point of a situation where I will stop doing what I love because I fear losing. As I said, if he's i said if he's serious if he was serious he had the opportunity to date the venue set he just weren't interested and if you listen to what i said is that there was an offer of 50 million i said that's a really good offer 50 for the other day did they offer me 50 million to come here i said that's a really good offer but we just wanted to see proof of funds that wasn't available so he said all right cool let's get it over in the UK April 13th.

Made them an offer, and then he said that he wanted to blacklist me and fight Tyson Fury, and that was the situation. And sooner or later, we'll find out who the best is. All right, we have more with Anthony Joshua. When we come back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Anthony Joshua in the building, world heavyweight champion frome, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Anthony Joshua in the building. Royal heavyweight champion from Britain. Charlamagne? I know it's a strategy, and they're building up the brand to Anthony Joshua, but do you think Eddie Hearns believes in you the way he says he does? Because he won't put you in the ring with any of those guys right now.

I just feel like we made the offers. We made Tyson Fury a big offer to fight april 13th he said he wasn't interested in no percentage splits give him a flat fee really he made the offers to fight that was last april this april coming uh this april coming this april really seemed like he's scared that's surprising coming from fury yeah the proof's in the pudding i could get up like emails and stuff so you think these people are scared of you as opposed to we thinking that you're scared of them i don't think honestly hand on my heart there's no fear in any of these guys hand on hand on heart oh yeah so word is born that i got 100 for you

none of these guys are scared, but I just feel like they want big rewards for less risk. But they're getting it, though. That's my point as well. Now, when this interview comes out, every single one of those guys are going to say you're lying and that you're not trying to make a fight with Fury, Wilder, you're scared. But as I said, and I'll make it clear,

is that no one's scared. I'm not blaming them for anything there's no more to it there's no more i could really say about the situation imagine like uh another chat so said look charlamagne we're going to give you another chat show chat show chat show what'd you call it what'd you call it chat show yeah another morning show yeah gave you a big offer bigger audience based in more territories than you are now. Charlemagne's out. Charlemagne is out.

So that's what I'm saying. This is the same situation that these guys are in. So I'm just baffled to say, like, why aren't you interested in kind of taking opportunity, prove to the world that you're the best, come beat me and take everything I've worked for, if you're serious. Have you adjusted to stardom in the UK? Because you're like a huge superstar in the UK. I had a big argument with Ed Sheeran and Stormzy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. One time at dinner, we was arguing. You know, I was saying Deontay will knock Anthony Joshua out. And they was like, they was highly upset by me saying that. Because they support. They support the cause. Everyone's going to support homegrown talent. But with that stardom stuff, I'm not really into that nonsense.

What about the ladies? Yeah, yeah, ladies are good. What do y'all call thots in your UK? They're in all different cultures and s***. There's, you know, women and men. We're all thots anyway, deep down. Well, I'm a faithful black man. I'm part of the faithful black male community.

Speak for yourself, you whore. How dare you. How dare I. Speak for yourself. You don't know if you're single or not because you put a bunch of money in your hands. He just told us he's fat. Yeah, yeah.

He said we're all fat. We're all thoughts deep down. We're all thoughts deep down. So I'm not trying to settle down right now. I'm focused. I don't want to lead any woman off. I swear I don't want to lead any woman on. You know, I don't want to lead any woman on.

I'm focused. I'm hustling hard, hard, hard. And everything I do has a sacrifice on my family. If I can't even spend time with my mom or my son or my niece, am I going to now spend time with this woman I met after 29 years of my life and now she becomes the most important thing? She has to fit in to everything I've been building up to this day. And if she can kind of accept and appreciate it,

then we can start having a conversation. But right now, my main principle is my family and my work. Hundreds of women in the UK have heard that same line over and over. And it makes it easier for me because when I meet them, they know where I'm coming from.

They know my story. They know my story. I ain't got to talk. I ain't got to talk no more. They get my story. Does it scare you though? Like, you know what? Because most times

a great man's downfall is always a woman in some way, shape or form. Or every man needs a good woman. A good woman there's a backbone so it's a catch-22 you've got to find the right one i didn't have that high school i did have it but we're not together so i'm growing up that's that's the lady i had my son with okay and um yeah so i never really kept that high school sweetheart and i feel like now a relationship to me is more of a political decision because i said my kids have to be education based and I want them to kind of be leaders in in certain industries

there's a science to breeding basically there's a massive science of breeding so what do you like you have your your perfect uh specimen of a woman that you want American women are nice American women black American women white American women are you like the sisters? Yeah. My brother. I'm going to shake your hand, but it's bleeding. The sisters are going to be happy to hit? Nope. That one ain't bleeding. Don't worry about that. That's stupid.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely, definitely. The American women are nice. You got somebody for him? Yeah, I have you a song for me. You got your eye on anybody? Who was that? My bitch sent me one the other day

on the gram yeah let me see oh boy bone i would have shown you i might know she's a model she was at the uh the rock nation launch party laurie harvey nah not laurie harvey laurie is beautiful i'm a model at the rock nation brunch low key she's low key you hit her dms yet already no i can't do that why it gets lost in in the millions of other ones yeah but you anthony joshua well you know we appreciate you for joining us and i just got one more favor i'm listening 200 200 right now you ain't even got to close your face you can do an open just never never never never i've got too much respect for you guys as well and you know interview i liked as well when you was debating with Killer Mike.

Oh, Killer Mike. School, public school. School, public school. And that's big. Y'all have that problem in the UK? I think it's just what he's based on,

Killer Mike is a community situation. He's just saying you have to support your own from the grassroots like setting up private schools and stuff. That's what I'm speaking to Andy about.

What do we speak about every day? Oh, you got an Andy? Yeah, I got Andy on the team. Everybody needs an Andy in their life. Everyone needs an an idea don't tell him that boy i don't know you agree with the community aspect of it all.

Yeah, yeah, massively, massively, massively. That was a big interview. And you learn a lot. You and Wilder absolutely have to fight each other. Because if y'all don't, then everybody's going to be saying, what if? And in order for both of y'all

to really be the guy of this generation, y'all have to fight each other. Even more so than the Fury and Ortiz. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. y'all have to fight each other. Even more so than the Fury and Ortiz. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Y'all have to fight each other. And there's nothing wrong with him losing. As crazy as it sounds, the main thing is that everyone likes a warrior, someone who tried.

And if you can prove that, that you're giving it your best, they're going to respect you anyway. Floyd messed up the game with the undefeated situation. Everybody wants to look at undefeated. He messed up the game with that. But that's why I just say It's good to keep it real Like it's not about

Like you may lose today But it may have a lot more meaning Down the line of Why you went through That situation So there's nothing wrong With losing It happens in life

It's just how you bounce back And that's the message That I'm trying to bring To people now Is that don't worry As long as you try You ain't gonna lose Are you setting it up already

So when you lose the Ortiz Or lose the Curry Or lose to Wagner, we remember what you just said? Nah, because if that was the situation, I feel like I wouldn't take it so serious.

If I was already thinking I'm going to lose, I wouldn't really dedicate myself to the game. I think, alright, what else can I get out of this game because I'm not going

to win anyway. How important is it to get a knockout versus Big Baby? Very. That's no doubt. You can't go to decision. What round?

We're going to be looking at you like you crazy. I said round eight. If Anthony Joshua is who people say he is, you should knock out Big Baby. I need him in my corner. That's what doubt. You can't go to decision with Big Bear. What round? We're going to be looking at you like you crazy. I said round eight. If Anthony Joshua is who people say he is, you should knock out Big Bear. I need him in my corner. That's what I need to hear when I'm tired. If you are who they say you are, you need to...

You better knock him out. The new Bundini Brown. Well, thank you for getting me out. Thank you for having me. Thank you so much. And don't be a stranger when you come to New York, man. Pull up here anytime. Someone on the plane gave me a book coming back from Jamaica.

Which one? I got two of them. They're both New York Times. This guy is crazy. No big deal. My goodness. Well, thank you, Anthony Joshua. Thank you very much.

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. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Jussie Smollett.

This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On the Breakfast Club. Listen up. Well, Chicago Police Spokesman Anthony Guglielmi actually tweeted out Jussie Smollett is under arrest

and in custody of detectives. He has been charged with felony disorderly conduct and that is for allegedly false reports that he made back on January 29th. He could face probation or up to three years in prison if he is convicted. So he will be in court today for a bond hearing. His mugshot about to be fire though.

Why do you think that? I just feel like it's going to be the new Michael Jordan crying face me. Well, we'll keep you updated on what happens. Either that or he's going to have a fake strong face. But he will be in court at 1.30 The fake strong face Like you can't break me

He'll be in court at 1.30 today So right now according to Variety Empire producers Are weighing in on whether or not they should suspend him After this what do you think I think that He should face whatever consequences He deserves to face Because of the situation that he put himself in.

It's not about what we think. It's about what is going to happen. He's going to be consequences. I kind of feel bad for him, though. No, you don't. A little bit, I do. You know, this could have went so wrong. It could have been.

But he was trying to, I guess. Man, shut up. You're being a hypocrite. If he was a white person and he did this and the roles reversed, you'd be asking to throw him under the jail. Knock it off. I feel bad for him. If he was Trump supporters... I can still feel bad for him, though.

I don't feel bad for him. Why would you feel bad for a grown-ass man who made a decision? What if he said he was just rehearsing for a role? All right. Well, you went too far, buddy. You got to tell us when to quit. I feel bad for him, though. You better tell us when you're playing or not.

All right, now. We told you earlier that Blac Chyna and Soulja Boy have allegedly split up after dating for a couple of weeks. Well, Soulja Boy retweeted what TMZ wrote in their headline about their breakup and said, I just wanted to see what the vagina felt like. He didn't use the word vagina, though, as you can imagine. Jesus Christ. What? I mean, that's just some harsh stuff to say.

Yeah, that's awful. I mean, my God. All right, now let's discuss Barack Obama and Steph Curry. Now, Barack Obama was actually, I'm in San Francisco right now, so he was out in Oakland when I landed. I think that was the day that he had given this talk with Steph Curry. It was the fifth anniversary of his My Brother's Keeper Alliance, and they were talking about challenges that they faced in their earlier years

and other things like hip-hop, policing and minority communities, discipline in the schools. They were talking about male role models, about manhood. And this is what Barack Obama had to say about young people feeling pressured to act a certain way. A lot of hip hop and rap music is built around showing how I got more money than you. I can disrespect you and you can't do nothing about it. And ironically, that actually shows the vulnerability. If you are really confident about your financial situation, you probably are not going to be wearing an eight pound chain around your neck.

If you are very confident about your sexuality, you don't have to have eight women around you twerking. You seem stressed that you gotta be acting that way, because I've got one woman who I'm very happy with. Well, drop one of Clues Bonds for Barack Obama. God damn.

Proud member of the faithful black male community. Don't be coming around me twerking. Barack basically told y'all... Barack? What'd I say? What's his name? No, Envy just said, don't come around me twerking. I mean, he's absolutely right, though. Like, if you got it, you don't got to say you got it. Period.

You know what I'm saying? Who you proving it to? You're really just trying. It's a fashion show for everybody else at the end of the day. You know what you got in your bank account. If you know what you got in your bank account, you can show up in some sweats and a white tee and be cool and comfortable and confident. All right.

Now, Idris Elba is going to be hosting Saturday Night Live. That'll be his first time hosting. I can't believe that's his first time hosting. So we're excited for that. That's going to be Saturday, March 9th and Khalid, that'll be his first time performing as well on Saturday Night Live. So for Idris Elba, he's promoting his

upcoming Netflix comedy series, Turn Up Charlie, and that show is based on his second career as a professional DJ. So all of that whole season is going to come out on March 15th, if you want to see that. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee.

Shut up, bang. Yes. Who you giving that donk to? Well, I guess it's about that time. We need Jussie Smollett, a.k.a. Jussie Lyon, to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him. All right, we'll get into that next.

Why do you keep saying that? I don't know. My goodness. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.

You don't need snow to have an adult snow day. Head to eBay this winter and make the most of your money shopping eBay deals with our best price guarantee. Plus, free shipping on millions of items. If it's happening on your adult snow day, it's happening on eBay. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the day, ask Charlamagne. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the day Is a little bit of a mixed question So like a donkey, he home

Donkey of the day The Breakfast Club, bitches Now I've been called a lot in my 23 years That donkey of the day is a new one Yes, donkey of the day For Thursday, February 21st Goes to Jussie Smollett A.K.A. Jamal Lyon from Empire But now I'm forever known as Jussie Lyollett, a.k.a. Jamal Lyon from Empire,

but now I'm forever known as Jussie Lyon. See, Jamal Lyon is a character. Jussie Smollett is the real person. And over the past couple of weeks, a storyline that sounds like something only Lee Daniels could create has found its way into Jussie Smollett's real life. And because of that,

he is forever known as Jussie Lyon, okay? Not because on Empire his last name is Lyon, but simply because we have found out Jussie be Lyon, okay? Not because on Empire his last name is Lyon, but simply because we have found out Jussie B. Lyon, okay? Now, full disclosure, when I first heard about this situation, I'm talking first day when everyone was posting pics of Jussie, sending him up prayers. I mean, it was people that were ready to fly to Chicago to go to war for Jussie Lyon.

I was watching all of this, and I heard the now infamous story of him being attacked at around 2 a.m. in those freezing Chicago streets, and two men throwing bleach on him, calling him a empire gay slur n-word, throwing bleach on him and then throwing a rope around his neck. From the beginning, I never believed this story. From the beginning, this story sounded unbelievable, very sketchy, but I didn't feel the need to call BS on his situation because of my feelings. My intuition could be wrong. My instincts could be off. And when you have an opinion about someone else's business, when it's a serious situation like this, just know we take what should be

objective situations and make them good, bad, wrong, unfair, essential, deserved, outrageous with our opinions. That's why you have to be very intentional on what you choose to have an opinion about, okay? In this situation, I gave him the benefit of the doubt because he's a black man. And why wouldn't I believe a black man who tells me he's been the victim of a hate crime? Why wouldn't I believe a gay man who tells me he's the victim of a hate crime? Well, I didn't. And

since I didn't believe, and I had no reason not to believe him, I did what is very hard for us to do in this era, and that's not have an opinion on this situation. Oh, we live in this era where people choose feelings over facts. We don't even wait for all the facts of the matter to come out. We just grasp onto whatever reconfirms our biases, whatever narratives we have about people, places, and things.

If we find situations that prove our points, then we push them, okay? Jesse Lyon knows how we feel about homophobia. He knows how we feel about racism. He knows how we feel about MAGA! And he played with our emotional heartstrings, okay? This is why, even though it's very hard, a lot of times all this noise we hear on social media is better to say nothing, okay?

I'm speaking only for me. In life, I have to focus on the things in front of me that matter, or more importantly, that are in my control. Okay, whether Jussie Lyon was lying or not was not a matter that was in my control, and I wanted to wait until all the facts came out so I can speak from a place of facts and not feelings. And the facts are Jussie Lyon, or Jussie Smollett, as authorities call him, is going to jail. Okay, it was all good just a couple weeks ago. A couple weeks ago, he was a potential martyr.

Today, he's a future felon who's been charged with flying the cops. Let's go to ABC7 Chicago for the report, please. I think Jussie Smollett should come clear because the truth will set him free. Bold words from the attorney of Abel and Ola Osundaro, brothers who spent hours talking to prosecutors in a grand jury. They are the same men police say are in this surveillance photo, THE MAN WHO TOLD POLICE THAT THE MAN WAS A MASS MEN. THE MAN WAS TALKING TO PROSECUTORS IN A GRAND JURY. THEY ARE THE SAME MEN POLICE SAY ARE IN THIS SURVEILLANCE

PHOTO. AND IT'S EVIDENCE JUSSIE SMOLLETT TOLD ROBIN ROBERTS SHOWS HIS ATTACKERS. I DON'T HAVE ANY DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THAT'S THEM. TONIGHT THE EMPIRE ACTOR WHO TOLD POLICE TWO MASS MEN BEAT HIM YELLING RACIAL AND HOMOPHOBIC SLURS IN CHICAGO and homophobic slurs in Chicago's Streeterville neighborhood is now charged with his own alleged

crime. The Cook County State's Attorney's Office saying Smollett faces one felony count of disorderly conduct stemming from filing a false police report. Smollett is expected in bond court tomorrow afternoon at 1 30. Well he turned himself in this morning. First of all Chicago PD has shown and proven they can solve a crime if they want to. All the unsolved shootings that happen in Chicago, all the unsolved murders that happen in Chicago that never get solved, Chicago PD figured this one out in a couple weeks.

But let's stay focused on Jesse Lyon. Jesse, I told you on this radio since last week, you should have shut up. But you couldn't. And the reason you couldn't is because you were investing a lot into the attention economy market. You hijacked so many people's attention with this farce of a story and we all know attention is the most addictive drug on the planet today instead of laying low you decided to go to la to do a show what you should have done is just performed and shut the

hell up but instead you read off note cards and told us what your lawyer said you can't say let's hear it just a couple of points that i wanted to make really quick i was bruised but my ribs were not cracked they were not broken i went to the doctor immediately frank gatson drove me i was not hospitalized both my doctors in la and chicago cleared me to perform but said to take care obviously and above all i fought back i just want to know why would a man who's a victim's lawyer advise him not to talk? Why would you get in trouble as the victim for talking about your victimization?

Why would a man be reading off a note card to describe his victimization? You know why he needed the note card? Because when you tell one lie, you have to tell a bunch of other lies to back up your first lie. And when you tell the truth, you don't have to remember what you said. But when you lie, sometimes you forget. Now, I know the magic question everybody is asking is why.

Okay, why would he make something like this up? He told us why on that stage. Listen. I'm the gay Tupac. Yes, he wanted to be the gay Tupac. Okay, Jesse Lyon wanted to be a martyr. All right, he wanted to be a symbol of someone who stood up against hate in America. He wanted the same admiration that you see Kaepernick getting

for taking a knee for black people. He wanted the attention that Meek is getting for standing for the rights of those in prison. Jussie Lyon wanted to be the gay Tupac. Ambitions of a writer would be a whole different song if Tupac was gay, but let's stay on topic here. We all should have known Jussie Lyon was lying when he went on Good Morning America

and was more upset that people didn't believe him here all right we all should have known jesse lyon was lying when he went on good morning america and was more upset that people didn't believe him rather than being upset about the crime that allegedly happened to him let's hear it i'm pissed off is it the attackers the attackers but it's also the attacks you know at first it was a thing of like listen if i tell the truth then that's it because it's the truth then it became a thing of like oh how can you doubt that how do you not believe that it's the truth and then it became a thing of like oh it's not necessarily that you don't believe that this is the truth you don't even want to see the truth okay it wasn't the truth jesse see here's the thing racism is real homophobia is real hate

crimes really happen in this country every day. We knew this already. You did no one any favors by pulling this stunt. And don't try to act like you were doing something for society because you weren't. All right? You were doing something for personal gain. This was all very self-serving. And, yes, you wanted to become a martyr, and you did.

You became a martyr for everything that's wrong with this country and everything that's wrong with this era. People who are willing to do any and everything for attention. Don't think about this too deep, people, okay? Jussie Lyon is a clout chaser. Nothing more, nothing less, alright? Black men in this country have been imprisoned and killed for years because of lies like this, alright? You took a play out of your oppressor's playbook, sir.

If the roles were reversed and some white MAGA supporters made up a lie like this and it caused some black men to get incarcerated, we would be rioting. We'd be asking the judge to throw the book at them and we'd have to keep the same energy with Jussie because we can't become what we claim to hate, okay? In the words of Malcolm X, I'm for truth no matter who tells it. I'm for justice no matter who it is, for or against, period.

Jussie, you cannot become what you claim to hate. I know you were probably, you know, trying to prove some point about racism and homophobia in America, but you can't teach us what we already know, sir. And you can't solve a problem using the same energy that created the problem. Okay. I, I really have nothing else more to say about this matter other than in this attention economy, people cash in on, on experiencing some type of injustice.

Okay. But the difference is the injustice that happened to Colin Kaepernick was real. All right. The injustice that happened to Meek Mill was real. Your injustice was fake. All right, Jussie? You created a whole neighborhood of make-believe. That doesn't make you the gay Tupac. It makes you the gay Mr. Rogers.

Oh, and best belief. It's a man in a jail cell in Chicago right now waiting for you to be his neighbor. Won't you be my neighbor? Please let Remy Ma give Jussie Lyon, a.k.a. Jussie Smollett the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother******, you dumb. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy

Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? Um, this is Deanna from Norfolk. Hey, 757. What's your question for Yee? So, my question this? This is Deanna from Norfolk. Hey, 757. What's your question for Yee? So my question is, today is my husband's birthday, and I'm broke. Okay, there's nothing wrong with that.

So I don't know. I mean, maybe like 50 bucks is all I have. I don't know how to make it special because I love him so much, and he takes good care of all of us. So I don't know so think about some things that mean a lot to him because you know him well right and I think that's what's the most important thing when you pay attention to somebody's needs and wants and desires and what is it that he loves what is something that he's been wanting to do what is

his favorite foods what is his favorite anything that you can do maybe there's a gathering you can have where you know who his friends are. Maybe you could surprise him with something at the house or at a restaurant where everybody could chip in. Yeah, I could do that. You know, I think it's all about planning and it's all about planning and experiences. But because you guys are so busy, that's

what makes it even more special because you don't get to do stuff like that. Okay, thanks. I appreciate it. Y'all have a good morning. I appreciate you taking my call. Alright, happy birthday to your man. Thank you. Alrighty. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need

relationship advice or any type of advice. Call Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That's right. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. Hi. Good morning.

800-585-1051. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Let's go to lucky number three. Hello, who's this? Hi, DJ Envy. This is Danielle. Hey, Danielle. Good morning.

Oh, jeez. I didn't realize I was actually going to make it. Ow. Ow. What's your question for you, my man? Yes, I had a question about possibly how to encourage my boyfriend to be more romantic. Oh, yes. I don't need him to be, like, sexual.

Like, that's fine. I just want the romance to lead up to the sex. You know? You know what? And I don't want to just f*** him down and be like, bro, this is not, I'm not feeling this. Like, I don't feel like having sex right now because you just jump in the bed and just be like, let's do it. Like, no, I need the sweet things that lead up to that.

That's so funny because I had a problem like that early on with my boyfriend and I had to really have a discussion with him about it. You know what? And sometimes that happens and we have an attitude and guys don't know what we're mad about, but we haven't said anything. So they have no idea. And that is why it's important for you to say something. But I always feel like it's better to say things in an encouraging way rather than in a I'm mad at you type of way. So in other words, you can be like, you know what I love? When you do this before we have sex or when we kiss, that really gets me excited

because then that makes him want to do it because he knows how much you love it and you've told him that. We've had the conversation before. That's the thing. Like, I just, like, it was a joking way, but I was still like, no, but I'm for real. Like, stop that s***. Like, it's not a game, baby. It's not a joke.

Like, but he, he's a joker, so he can't, I don't know if he, he understands when I'm serious most times when we're talking about a serious topic, but when it comes to, like, our relationship, like, I don't know if he takes it serious or if he just doesn't know how. Yes, aren't you sometimes like,

who were you with before me that you don't know how to do these things properly? Somebody did not train you well. Who raised you? So where are you just doing like this? TK Kirkland was, who raised you? Yeah, no, I think we do have to lead by example, and that also means sometimes, A, yes,

you have to keep on telling him what it is that you like. Instead of what you don't like, tell him what you do like. You know, so sometimes we have a tendency to be like, I don't like when you do this or this. It's so annoying. It's so whack. Just say what you do like and just put that in his head. And you make it sexy, too. Sometimes it can be you telling him, now slow down.

Wait a minute. We're not doing all that. You can't put it in yet. You gotta do that. Right, right. Like, I try to kind of slow it down and be like, hey, let's do something else or, listen, quick grace and stuff and blah, blah, blah, but he just be like, nah, I'm not only doing all that. Like, no,

I need that. I need all of that. You gotta stop him. And you gotta let him know. I don't want to take the lead either Because then I'm like What is this? Then I feel forced for it If I take the lead

And if I Guys love sometimes When you take the lead though Y'all gotta switch it up I mean look Sometimes you have to show him What you like It might even be

You say okay We're gonna have a night Where I'm gonna say Everything that we're doing It's like we're doing a movie And I'm the director Ow Who's gonna want a whole camera?

I ain't got time for this. With no camera. But just be like, look, we're going to do this, and I'm going to say exactly what we're doing, and just for tonight, you're going to do what I say. Or what you do is you write, you say, babe, write two things you love about me and two things you dislike, and you do the same with him, and then y'all have that conversation.

Be like, look, you really ain't doing this. You really got me dry. I need to call Angelina and get some KYJ. That's what you need to do. Man, tell that n***a to pay some bills. Pay off your student loans. That's not romantic. He wouldn't even have access to these type of things

if he wasn't handling his business otherwise. Oh, okay, okay, okay. He just needs to stop having sex like a teenage boy, basically. I wish I could still have sex like a teenage boy. You said you could have sex like a teenage boy? I. I wish I could still have sex like a teenage boy. You said you could have sex like a teenage boy? I said I wish I could still have sex like a teenage boy. Can she talk? Oh, sorry.

Go ahead. I'm sorry. I don't want to make it seem like he don't know what he's doing because we're good in most aspects of that, but it's just I like for the romance. You want some foreplay. We need that. Right, right.

You got to just be sexy about it. You got to be like, hold on, because you're making this so way. It's about to get even wetter when you do this. Wait a minute. Right, right. You got to just be sexy about it. You got to be like, hold on, because you making this so way. It's about to get even wetter when you do this. Wait a minute. Exaggerate right now. You better do your dirty talk, girl. Now, see, we was doing that for a minute, but then it got weird. Like, he just started making it weird.

I was just like, forget it. He's saying some crazy stuff. Right, like, okay, you talking too far. All right, but no, like I said, just give that positive reinforcement and tell him, be like, look, for this tonight, tomorrow night we're going to do what you want to do, tonight we're going to do it how I want to do it. And you've got

to obey every command I give you. It sounds right. I'm going to try it. Thank you. You're welcome. Alright. Sounds like fun. Ask E.E. 800... Bye, I love y'all by the way. We love you back. Every morning on the way to work. Thank you, mama. Ask Yee.

of your favorite celebrities is going to be throwing a huge Oscars party. Also, who might secretly be hosting. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ

Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Degas. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Kaepernick. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor report. Rumor report. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

Yes, so Nike has revealed a new Colin Kaepernick icon jersey just after he got that whole settlement with the NFL with their collusion situation. Colin Kaepernick posted it as well. For those true to themselves on and off the field proudly, unapologetically, and

against all odds, this is only the beginning. According to Nike's website, that Kaepernick icon jersey is a celebration of people who seek truth in their communities and those who remain true to themselves. If you guys saw during the Super Bowl earlier in the month, LeBron was actually wearing that icon jersey. So now you can get one. It's 150 bucks. I got one. You got one.

I definitely got one. Stop saying that, man. Bussy. Why do you keep yelling Bussy randomly? I don't know. All right. Kim Kardashian has filed a suit against Miss Guided USA. It's an online retailer.

And the problem is that there is an outfit that looks like her. It's like knockoff designs. You know there's a lot of knockoff designers. And apparently they actually used Kim Kardashian her name and her image without her permission to advertise those designs that they have. So they posted the devil works hard but

misguided works harder at Kim Kardashian. You've only got a few days before this drops online. Swipe. So they used a picture of her wearing something similar to the knockoff and then that was that. So yeah that sounds like a viable lawsuit. I don't think she's the knockoff, and then that was that. So, yeah, that sounds like a viable lawsuit. I don't think she's going to be able to win that one, though.

Why? Because can you have copyrights on clothing? Well, it's not. They're using her name and her likeness, and she has nothing to do with that. So they have a picture of her up. They added her, and they tag her in a lot of different things. Oh, yeah, they stupid. So then it looks like she's part of the company.

Wow. All right, Jay-Z, they said. So then it looks like she's part of the company. Wow. All right, Jay-Z, they said is going to be throwing an epic Oscars party. They said there's going to be no phones allowed at all. And you guys know what that Roc Nation brunch was like,

so what they are saying is this is going to be even more amazing. So if you want to get into that, y'all better start lining up now. Maybe there's a proposal you want to do.

Do not propose at Jay-Z's Oscar party Okay Unless you are a member of the Rock Nation unit And I'm talking about that inner circle And I'm pretty sure all of them are already married You gotta explain to the people No I don't

I bet y'all won't I bet y'all won't explain Well it could be a special night for someone And originally they said Whoopi Goldberg Would secretly be hosting the Oscars. But according to an ABC spokesperson, they said that that rumor is absolutely false. But TV Line had posted that that was a plot twist that could potentially be happening with that ceremony. That's going to be happening February 24th.

So y'all get ready this weekend. Jussie Smollett's Facebook page just updated and said he'll be hosting the Oscars this Sunday. I don't know if there's any truth to these rumors, but we'll just have to wait and see. Bussy. Bussy. All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right.

Not really, though. Only because I knew he was BS from the beginning. But I'm just disappointed that we live in an era where people are being, you know, are stooping to these levels just to get attention. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's whack. This is a 36-year-old grown man. He ain't even a kid.

You know what I mean? He should know better. Right. So from now on, his name is not Jussie Smollett. We're combining his names from Empire and his real name. His name is Jussie Lyon because Jussie be Lyon. And Angela Yee calls him Lil Bussy. Lil Bussy? What's Lil Bussy?

Because he got busted. What? He got busted in his life. He got busted. Lil Bussy. All right? Okay. You guys are crazy.

Now, the positive note. It's stemming from the Jussie Smollett situation, man. Always remember, we can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
