Starting point is 00:00:00 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.

Starting point is 00:03:51 I don't think so. All right. Okay. I've been sore all week, though, and I got another workout session today. Why are you sore? You been having sex? No, I've been working out at Terminal 23. Yesterday was National Sex Day.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Yesterday was National Sex Day. You know it was 6-9, so you were supposed to do a 6-9 with your partner yesterday. You know what? I worked all day yesterday from when I left here. I didn't get home until 11 o'clock last night. So she ain't getting nine. Yeah, I was working all day. She ain't getting nine.
Starting point is 00:04:14 I actually hosted the Sippin' Shop at Rebecca Minkoff. What is that? It's a store. A very nice brand, and some of the proceeds went to this organization, Petals and Bells. So shout out to everybody who came out last night. I had a good time. We had some nice Hennessy drinks as well. That's pretty nice.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Petals and Bells empowers young girls. They have all these workshops and real world experiences for young women. Oh. Well, we got Philly heavy in the building this morning, right? That's right. We got Kevin Hart joining us. I've heard of him. Drop one of Clues bombs for that guy. And also, The Roots will be joining us this morning, right? That's right. We got Kevin Hart joining us. I've heard of him. Drop one of Clues bombs for that guy. And also,
Starting point is 00:04:47 The Roots will be joining us this morning. White America, well, America's favorite band. That's right. Period. You said White America. I was about to say
Starting point is 00:04:53 White America, but you know what? We never really did figure quite how The Roots just became White America's favorites like that, right? But they're everybody's favorite. They are everybody's favorites.
Starting point is 00:05:03 White people really embrace The Roots. Come on now, that's favorite. White people really embrace the Roots. Come on now, that's their go-to band. The Roots really have done a lot, though, because every year at the Grammys, I've been to a couple of their infamous jam sessions that they do. They do these, like, all-night-long jam sessions,
Starting point is 00:05:16 and you never know who's going to pop up and get on stage and just perform with them. It's incredible. Well, they deserve all their success, and they'll be here this morning. And, of course, they do the Roots picnic every year in Philly. And now they're doing one in New York.
Starting point is 00:05:27 Yeah, we'll kick it with them in a little bit. But we got front page news. What are we talking about? Well, Hillary Clinton gets a huge endorsement. And we'll tell you who that person is.
Starting point is 00:05:35 Also, we'll talk about a petition. What judge are they trying to get the F out of here? All right, we'll get into all that when we come back.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey! It's Friday that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Hey! It's Friday! Yes, it is, damn it. Look alive, everybody.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Now, let's get into some front-page news. Now, NBA Finals tonight. The Cavs-Warriors, Game 5. It's going to be a close game. Warriors are going to win by 8. No, Cavs are going to win. Warriors are going to win by 8. Cavs are going to win.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Go 3-1 in the series. And then they're going to go home to Oakland and shut it down. They're going to tie the series tonight. The Cavs will. Nope. LeBron will be balled by game five. Now let's talk about Obama endorsing Hillary Clinton. Yes, President Barack Obama has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president,
Starting point is 00:06:13 and the two of them will have a joint appearance. That's going to happen on Wednesday in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Check out some of the video that the Clinton campaign released. I want to congratulate Hillary Clinton on making history as the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States. I know how hard this job can be. That's why I know Hillary will be so good at it. In fact, I don't think there's ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.
Starting point is 00:06:41 And I say that as somebody who had to debate her more than 20 times. So I want those of you who've been with me from the beginning of this incredible journey to be the first to know that I'm with her. I am fired up and I cannot wait to get out there and campaign for Hillary. I mean, this is news the same way Beyonce
Starting point is 00:06:58 sneezes in this news. Like, of course Barack Obama's going to endorse Hillary. Bernie Sanders was just meeting with Barack Obama as well, and he has not indicated that he wants to withdraw from the race anytime soon, but he was just with him for a couple of hours. I love the OG Bernie Sanders. We've interviewed him a couple of times.
Starting point is 00:07:15 I moderated a panel for him, but Bernie, are you finished? Are you done? He needs to give up now. Enough's enough now. I want Bernie on the team, though, in some way, shape, or form. Hillary has to put him on the squad in some way, shape, or form. Now, let's talk about this petition over a million people signed. Yes, more than one million people want Judge Aaron Persky to lose his job.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Absolutely. Drop one of Clues Bomb for that, damn it. And he is the one who gave the former Stanford University athlete Brock Turner only six months. Let's call him a rapist. Call him what he is. For sexually assaulting an unconscious woman. He raped the unconscious woman. Now that's just one petition. That's on change.org. There's other petitions
Starting point is 00:07:50 as well that have gotten more than 100,000 signatures. So safe to say he's got to get out of there. Judge Aaron is the same guy who said that if he had gave him a stiffer sentence, it could have had a severe impact on Brock Turner's life. What you mean? Like the way rape is going to have a severe impact on the young lady's life? Like stop it.
Starting point is 00:08:06 And yesterday, by the way, they did have that private Islamic funeral prayer program for Muhammad Ali and they are also having the funeral that's going to happen today. And that one was open to the public, but those tickets went really quick. They had like 22,000 tickets that were available. They went
Starting point is 00:08:21 in like an hour and some people are actually selling them secondhand, even though they were free. I don't know how I feel about that. Like I saw it yesterday when everybody was like scalping tickets to Muhammad Ali's funeral. That's really tacky. But I mean a hot ticket is a hot ticket. No. Come on now. No. A hot ticket is a hot ticket.
Starting point is 00:08:38 No, no, no. Not for that. The fact that you would go and take tickets, you know, just because you want to sell them. Are they free? Yeah, they're free. Yeah, they're free. Yeah, they're free. That's your dumb ass to buy them from somebody when they're free. People just want to go that bad, you know, and there was a guy named Muhammad Ali who actually named himself after
Starting point is 00:08:53 Muhammad Ali who had a heart transplant today who actually postponed his heart transplant to go to the funeral. I don't think Muhammad Ali would want that for you. I don't think so. You need to use common sense. Muhammad Ali had a lot of common sense. Muhammad Ali would tell you to go get your heart transplant. Okay, take care of yourself. If not, you're going to be laying right next to Ali soon.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Stop it, brother. Be smart. The last front page news. Now, tell them why you're mad. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent. Call us right now. Maybe somebody pissed you off.
Starting point is 00:09:21 Maybe you had a bad morning. Whatever it may be. 800-585-1051. Now, yesterday was National Sex Day. Maybe you had a bad morning. Whatever it may be. 800-585-1051. Now, yesterday was National Sex Day. Maybe you didn't get none last night. Maybe you ain't get none. Maybe you did get some. I definitely didn't get none yesterday.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Maybe you did get some, but he ripped the tip of the condom off, and when he put it in, it rolled back. What? And you got hit raw and didn't even know it. What? Until it was too late. What are you talking about? You're 12, I was pregnant, and don't even know it.

And I know you know, Envy, we going to tie it tonight. I ain't going to say we because I'm not a Cavaliers fan, but I think Cavaliers are gonna win it. Listen, I respect your wishful thinking, but you don't really believe that. You want that to happen. It's not wishful thinking. How do you
Starting point is 00:10:31 lose by 30 and win by 30 the next game? The NBA, what are you talking about? So what? I think the Cavaliers got this one, though. I think nobody knows what's gonna happen. That's like saying, OKC was up 3-1. How do you lose three games in a row to lose the series? It happens. Well, how do they lose three games in a row? But I do think the Cavaliers are going to win tonight. Warriors are five. Hello, who's this?

Starting point is 00:11:04 How did the girl look that you cheated with? Honestly, they were all my exes. How do you cheat four times, though? You didn't learn your lesson the first time? Or the second time? Or the third time? Y'all looking at this all wrong. It's not how do you cheat four times.
Starting point is 00:11:16 It's how do you get caught four times, sir. Honestly, I was just honest every time. That's your dumb ass. So you cheated, but you did it in an honest way. He told her. Honestly, I don't argue with a good woman. She quit the next cheated, but you did it in an honest way. He told her. I don't argue with a good woman. She quit the next guy,
Starting point is 00:11:28 but I hope she doesn't get hurt. I only wish her the best. Give me one last chance. I'll definitely be there for her. One last chance? You did it four times. Yeah, four times. No, no, no.

Starting point is 00:14:49 Yesterday, I mean, this month is gun violence awareness month. And yesterday, Peace for Peace had an event at YMCA. And I'm just surprised that it wasn't enough media coverage. This being a month about violence, and we having so much gun violence in America, I just am really disappointed. I'm really disappointed. That's the style of thing where I'm from. We've had about three
Starting point is 00:15:14 murders in the last week, and it's just difficult. It's difficult not having support from the people that you have in the culture that has an influence on the culture. And I just want to thank Mona Faison, Robert Conner, Carnegie that came out.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Everybody that came out, Kango Kid, UTFO, real pioneers of hip-hop culture. I really appreciate y'all. Let me tell you something, my brother. I really get upset when people blame mainstream media because the truth of the matter is you got media in the palm of your hand. Social media has way more of an impact blame mainstream media because the truth to the matter is you got media in the palm of your hand.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Social media has way more of an impact than mainstream media nowadays. In fact, mainstream media is getting a lot of the energy from social media. A lot of waves start right there.
Starting point is 00:15:54 So you should be upset at the people in the community for not tweeting about it, Facebooking about it, Instagramming about it. I am. Y'all could have created this wave right on your own.
Starting point is 00:16:02 No, no, no. We did though. Don't say we haven't. I didn't say anything about it on social media. Yeah, I didn't say anything about right on your own. No, no, no. We did, though. Don't say we haven't. I didn't see nothing about it on social media. Yeah, I didn't see anything about it. Okay, okay. Nobody hit me about it. I didn't know.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Whose Facebook page is it on? Because I know y'all on Facebook, though. That's a definite. That's a definite. Okay. You have Carnegie. You have Stephanie Carnegie, who was a PR. You have me.
Starting point is 00:16:21 I know Stephanie. I know Stephanie also. I know you know Stephanie. I know. And Miss Angela, you live not too far from me. I know Stephanie. I know Stephanie also. I know you know Stephanie. I know. And Miss Angela you live not too far from me. I'm not going to go into that. But at the same time, this is in the neighborhood. It was flyers all through the neighborhood.
Starting point is 00:16:34 I'm not going to say that we wasn't promoting it. I'm going to churches and all different type of businesses and stuff like that. Well, I would say this. Nobody hit me up about it. I didn't see a flyer about it. We're doing a better job. Yeah, I had no idea. Nobody said anything up about it. I didn't see a flyer about it. Angelina, you want to head down to the pharmacy? We're doing a better job. We're doing a better job. Yeah, I had no idea.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Nobody said anything. But keep us in the loop, my brother. And we appreciate the great work, man. I appreciate y'all when y'all do the right thing. But every day, y'all do the right thing. Appreciate y'all. Thank you, man. Lines of communication are always open when it comes to the people in the Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Always remember that. But you can't. If we don't know about it, how can we support it? Tell them why you're mad. 800-585-1051. We got rumors coming up. I'll tell you who looked mad yesterday. Justin Bieber. I don't know if y'all saw him brawling in Cleveland.
Starting point is 00:17:16 But I'll tell you what some people had to say about it and what allegedly happened. All right. All that and more. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Kevin Hart next hour. The Breakfast Club. And Kevin Hart next hour. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Gossip. The rumor report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report. The Breakfast Club. Well, there was a lot going down in Cleveland. Justin Bieber got into a brawl, and it was all captured on video.
Starting point is 00:17:43 I saw it. You saw that, right? Justin Bieber was really swinging. Now, what actually happened? Well, Lamont Richmond is the guy who Bieber got into a fight with. And this is what Lamont Richmond is saying happened. The fool ran up on me. I was with the girls.
Starting point is 00:17:59 We just asked for autograph. I don't know about all this other stuff y'all talking about. You know, I ain't got nothing else to say. Number one, where in the hell was Justin Bieber's security? He shouldn't have been there by himself. Number two, if you saw the video, why is this big black extra from Roots looking man asking Justin Bieber for an autograph? Well, it was for his two female friends that was with him.
Starting point is 00:18:15 I don't care. They need a girl. What he said was he just left a bar and he saw Justin Bieber outside the Westin in Cleveland and he hung out with Justin Bieber with the two ladies for a little while, a short time. And then he said, he asked if the women could take a picture with him. And that's when Justin Bieber said,
Starting point is 00:18:33 no autographs tonight, mother effer. So he asked for a picture or autograph? He asked for a picture and an autograph. Both. It's a both. Listen, have some respect for yourself, black man. Well, for the two women, not for himself. No, I don't care. Two women supposed to have Justin Bieber.
Starting point is 00:18:45 I mean, listen, the average person, if you see Justin Bieber, might want to get a picture. You know, people. Not when you look like a big black extra from Roots. But it's not for him. And he doesn't appreciate being called a mother effer by Justin Bieber. I get it. He'd like to be disrespected if that's what happened. A simple no, all good, will do.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Okay. But anyway, Lamont said that Justin Bieber smelled like liquor, and then he started puffing his chest up, and that's when he swung on him. Justin Bieber swung on that man because he was disgusted, okay? He wanted better for that man, and he can't believe that man didn't want better for himself. Big grown-ass man asking Justin Bieber for a picture. Well, guess what? Bieber got lucky, though, because he could have squashed Bieber's little ass.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Well, Lamont says he's already met with a lawyer and he plans to sue Justin Bieber. Of course. Also. Of course. Not the smartest thing that he should have done. You want a picture? You want an autograph? No, sorry, not doing that. That's all you got to say. All right.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Now, Floyd Mayweather, in the meantime, had some words about Justin Bieber's sparring action. Here's what he said. At the end of the day, people will say what they want to say. Justin Bieber ain't no bitch. Yeah. He showed they want to say. Justin Bieber ain't no bitch. He showed he got heart. He showed he ain't no bitch. Has he trained with you since or lately at all? I've worked with him in the gym.
Starting point is 00:19:54 I like what he did the other day. He showed he ain't no bitch. That's not the advice Mayweather should be giving him. The advice Mayweather should be giving him is, you see me? I got 10 security guards with me, Justin. I don't know why your little ass walking around here with no security when I got to walk around with 10 security guards. You should have security with them.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Stop it. Absolutely. All right, and then let's talk about some other Cleveland happenings. Steph Curry's sister was on Twitter, and she was very excited going to Cleveland. She said, wheels up to Cleveland with Mama and Granny, of course, to go watch her brother, Steph Curry, take on the Cleveland Cavaliers. Well, somebody tweeted back, you and your whole family get the F out of Cleveland
Starting point is 00:20:29 and take Riley's, now we use a word that's very derogatory, that rhymes with maggot, ass with you. Why would you call a three-year-old that? Exactly. That's crazy. And she responded to him and said, we'll be gone Friday, bless up, okay? And that's when all hell broke loose.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Now, the guy, his name and obviously his Twitter account is available to anybody. So they started tweeting his job, Holton Wise. They said, I wonder if Holton Wise knows their apprentice agent is using that word in a public forum. Oh, he got fired. That's a property group. And I guess he was a realtor or something. So that's when Holton Wise responded and said, our apologies to all who were a party to this attack.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Holton Wise does not condone this, and we have terminated him. Drop one of Clues' bombs for justice, damn it. Dumbass. So the guy's name is Moe Wadden, and his Twitter is at Soft Caramel Kiss. What? Moe Wadden?
Starting point is 00:21:24 Why is his Twitter called Soft Caramel Kiss? I don't know, but he responded and said, Bro, over like 10 people dead. I'm not mad. I'll be in another real estate office by tomorrow. No, you won't. Then he said, Bro, I threw off Curry's game. All he's thinking about right now is beating my ass.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Cleveland can thank me later for throwing off Curry's game. Listen, the Curry's really need to disrespect Moe Warden and send him a pair of Stephen Curry's new sneaker, the UA Curry 2 Low, okay? They come with their own Bluetooth and dad hat. Then he started responding to Steph Curry's sister as well. He said, y'all Cali people too soft. Why y'all let words offend you?
Starting point is 00:21:57 By the way, tell the unanimous MVP I said good game. She responded and said, one, I'm from North Carolina, not Cali. Two, you're talking about my niece, blood, an innocent three-year-old. I let it go the first time. And he said, it's an effing joke. Why y'all being soft? Ain't nothing funny with it. That's why Zaz got five.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Talk about a three-year-old. Should have got five. I'm about to get all my enemy's shoe sizes and send them Steph Curry's new sneakers. You don't like them? At U.A. Curry, too low. You don't like them? No. I mean, if I was cutting some grass, yes, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:22:23 All right, and let's not forget, you can live stream Muhammad Ali's funeral today. So anybody that wants to watch and couldn't make it can do that. And they're also putting the Ali movie back in theaters. It will be re-released this week following his passing. So that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Now, when we come back from Philly. Yes. Comedian, actor, and a whole bunch of other ish. CEO Kev. Kevin Hart will be joining us. So we'll kick it with Kevin Hart when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Bryson Tiller with Don't Morning.
Starting point is 00:22:55 Everybody, it's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Friends to the room. Superstar Kevin Hart. Sorry we didn't have a better chair for you sir We're getting a small chair this morning It's ridiculous We don't want you to get too ahead of yourself
Starting point is 00:23:09 I don't ask much We're gonna keep you humble man My thing is If y'all know I'm coming This is the one thing Yo let's make sure we got the big chair here for Kevin That's the one thing I feel like that easily
Starting point is 00:23:19 Everybody should agree on Yeah yeah yeah Get the big chair out the other room Look look You know that's the first thing I want to you know Whenever I come out I just go to pump up the chair. Your chair ain't right, yo.
Starting point is 00:23:31 I go straight to pumping up the chair, man. Nothing else. How y'all been? I'm blessed, man. How are you, sir? Another movie. Sneakers. Hey, hey.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Sneakers, yeah. I love it. Hey, man. My glasses. You put the glasses on now? We were just talking yesterday about how six years ago we saw you at Caroline's on Broadway. Caroline's Comedy Club. January 2010.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Shouts out to Caroline. Now you got your own sneaker 100 movies later. I'm still the same guy. I'm still the same cat. That's true. I still wake up every morning brushing my teeth with my right hand. That's good. That's good.
Starting point is 00:24:00 When you switch to your left hand, it's going to get weird. It's going to change a little bit. Yeah, that's when you change. When you start switching, brushing your teeth with different hands. Muhammad Ali always said you become what you think. Were you thinking that at that time? When we saw you at Caroline's, were you thinking six years from now, I'm going to be an A-list Hollywood star?
Starting point is 00:24:16 There is a point that you get to, I think, in the beginning stages of your career where a light bulb goes off of where you want to be and where you can see yourself. Everybody starts off in the beginning of, yeah, man, I'm about to be the biggest i'm about to do this but the reality has to set in of where you realistically can see yourself what lane can you get in where can you go and uh around that time when the comedy club started to really pop off is when i said yo i can really do this at a high level if i stay true to to to my grind and work the way that i'm doing now. So as it started to happen, you know, you check things off your list,
Starting point is 00:24:47 but then you put more things on the list. So right now, that's why I still work so hard, man. I got a lot of stuff on this list, man. You still doing comedy or you gonna stop comedy?
Starting point is 00:24:54 No. Stand up. You still doing stand up? Still doing stand up. The next movie's about to come out, right? What Now? I'm probably gonna drop
Starting point is 00:24:59 the trailer for What Now next week because the beauty of What Now is I own it. Funded it myself. Shot it. Major, major production. Partnered with Universal. Told them to distribute it. But I got a big announcement that I'm going to do. I saw you tweeted it. I was about to ask you.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I got a real, real big announcement. I'm going to probably say it after my sneakers drop on the 11th. I'm going to say what the announcement is, but this will be like my biggest challenge. Fitness or something along those lines or is it? Big announcements. One of them is with the physical fitness. A big run that I'm going to do.
Starting point is 00:25:30 This big, big event that I'm announcing. And that's the first one. I'm going to give the date and stuff for all of that. The other ones, I can talk about the other ones. I've decided to go another step into my whole business branding mogul mindset. You're about to remake Soul Plane. Okay, baby.
Starting point is 00:25:49 No, we're not going to do that. But we're just going to put the brakes on that idea. You know, I got a network that I'm launching. A network? Yeah, a network. It's like a Netflix, right? It will be potentially a competitor after I get off the ground. So basically, what Hov did, man, was so mind-blowing to me.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Hov is a good friend of mine, a mentor, especially when it comes to this business. I talk to the guy, get information. I looked up and I said, dude, with music, I love what you did. Let's have a comedy. There's nothing like that. There's absolutely nothing out there that's comedian a comedy. There's nothing like that. You know, there's absolutely nothing out there that's that's comedian friendly. You know, comedians don't understand the importance of ownership and really owning your content. You know, they do specials. They give these specials away. These specials live on.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Other people will license them for 10 years. You never see those specials back. They're licensed and relicensed. So I said, I'm going to do a subscription-based network for comedy where I give comedians ownership. Ownership of their things to where I split revenue with them, but allow them to take their stuff and sell everywhere. Go other places. I'm probably going to shoot about 52 to 72 stand-up specials over the course of the end of the summer, from mid-July through the beginning of September. It's like how you do with Rel. Like I do with Rel. But I'm going after, you know, new comedians, comedians that's been around for a long time,
Starting point is 00:27:08 man. I'm big on taking advantage of my platform and giving back. So to my guys that have been out, that's like, yo, man, you know, when do we get that break? When do we get that shot? I'm going to match that network money that they were given, and I'm going to give the same money, the same type of pay, but you're going to come to my network, and you're going to have the opportunity to own and take your stuff elsewhere and go and do other things with it.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Kev, you've been dissed by at least 70% of the comedy community. So are you going to help any of those guys? Of course. That's the beauty of it. That's the beauty of it when you get that. Now you got to eat that. You got to eat that human pie. You know, TK Kirkland came up here and um what comment did he make he made I think the comment
Starting point is 00:27:46 he didn't think you were funny yeah TK said he didn't he said you know it well he took when he came back he changed that then he rebuttaled it then he took it back
Starting point is 00:27:54 he said he felt the stand up wasn't but he said Kev's a very funny individual movies, TV and all that stuff but the crazy thing about those comments I've shaken those guys
Starting point is 00:28:02 hands face to face and there's nothing but, what you're doing is crazy to show. I saw this, I saw that. Hey, if you go on the road, man, let me know. I would love to come. Then you pop up and these comments pop up. I just saw you and you just said that you wanted to go on the road.
Starting point is 00:28:20 I saw TK in Vegas. We was at a fight and it was nothing but, yo, Kev Cove. So then when these comments pop up from him or from Aries Spears, I laugh. You know, when Aries say Kev in the back of the room, you know we know what you're doing. You've never seen me.
Starting point is 00:28:37 What have you seen me? What have you seen? I'm trying to think. Like, I really sat there and I was like, what have you seen? And it comes like this stuff. really sat there and I was like, have you seen this? And it comes like this stuff. It's like they just shoot out, and you know why. People are really starving for that attention.
Starting point is 00:28:57 People are really starving for any type of eyeballs, you know, and they don't understand that positive eyeball, man. Mike Yelps, me and Mike going back and forth so much. Mike got a show coming up. Uncle Buck. Uncle Buck coming up. Will Power Packer, my right hand man is producing the show. I am going to blast the show, not just for Will
Starting point is 00:29:12 but for Mike too. You know why? You don't get many shots at the television, man. Hey, if you're going to do it, brother, I support you. I want you to win. I have nothing but this energy. So I don't understand where the other stuff comes from. In return, I say, okay, you're killing with more kindness. The network, I will
Starting point is 00:29:28 go after TK. TK, you want to do a special? I ain't got no grudge against you, brother. Here's a platform for it. Aries, you want to do a special? Here's a platform, brother. I got no ill will. Go win. I hope everybody get up here. See, I got to work on that. I ain't going to lie. I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:29:44 Tell me what's the point of the grudge. You right. You hate on me? Man, I'm done with you. Alright. That's a piece of energy that you done spent to be angry. You right. That's doing what? That is a different level of petty, though. To sign the person that was hating on you. Never let him out. No, because they're allowed to go
Starting point is 00:29:59 take it. They're allowed to go and do it. I'm like, yo, come over here to Big Red Records and do it. It's the complete anyway. So it's not like I'm like, yo, come over here to Big Red Records and do X-Files. It's the complete opposite. I'm like, at the end of the day, man, I'm about this frat. And you can do whatever you want. I live this frat, man. This comedy frat.
Starting point is 00:30:15 I live it. I love it. All right, we got more with Kevin Hart. When we come back, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was Plains. Jeremiah.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Morning, everybody. It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Kevin Hart is in the building. Now, Charlamagne. We saw your petty cancer side come out on social media the other day. Oh, man. You snapped on a chick for coming at you late.
Starting point is 00:30:34 It wasn't even a snap. I never snapped. But she didn't come at his lady so much. She didn't come at my lady. She kind of came at him. Yeah, she came at me. I don't snap. Here's the thing that makes me laugh, okay, with people on social media.
Starting point is 00:30:44 You're not going to get to me. You're not going to bug me. You're not going to mess up my day. Here's the thing that makes me laugh, okay, with people on social media. You're not going to get to me. You're not going to bug me. You're not going to mess up my day. I'm not going to. You see what they said? It doesn't matter. But occasionally there's just a couple people that you just have to address.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Like people say things like, you know what? I'm going to take the 20 seconds out of my day just to give you what you want. And her comment was like, you know, if you ain't had this money, you would be with them. You only have it because of your money. You only got it because of your money. There you go. You only got it because of your money. I would have said so. Well, that's what I'm saying. The reality is alright.
Starting point is 00:31:17 If that's your... Okay. A lot of things that wouldn't happen if we weren't in certain positions. I don't understand. Here's the thing that I don't understand. Okay A lot of things that wouldn't happen If we weren't in certain positions I'm like I don't understand But Kevin Here's the thing
Starting point is 00:31:28 That I don't understand You're not a bad looking guy I don't Is he But like When people say that That's usually somebody That looks like atrocious
Starting point is 00:31:35 That you're like Damn she's only with you Because I'm You're very in shape The bad part about it You know It's like why is it He wouldn't be in shape
Starting point is 00:31:42 Without that money though That's true That money You take that money away though. That's true. That money. You take that money away. Yo, but here's the part that really makes me laugh. Like, where people, this is where the title for the stand-up comes from, with the what now.
Starting point is 00:31:54 It's like, people say things and you give them the answer they want, but then what? It really makes me laugh. I mean, ultimately, when people don't realize, Nico, we at seven years now. I'm getting married. We've been here for seven years. Six years ago, it wasn't that popular. It's only been six. I'm Caroline.
Starting point is 00:32:10 People don't understand. She was there before it got crazy to where it is now. So I laughed at this woman because she was like, I looked at her page, she was like 55. I'm like, why you? She heard you on Steve Harvey's show when you did BLS. I'm like, why you? But people also don't realize how long you've been with her
Starting point is 00:32:26 because they think about when you got divorced. Everybody instantly goes. Everybody instantly goes. But that's the power, once again, of social media. Look, at the end of the day, here's the reality behind me and behind my relationship. Yo, I got an attractive woman. I think she's much more attractive because she's a dope person.
Starting point is 00:32:44 Yes, she's beautiful. Yes, she's curvy. But as a person, yo, I got a good one. That's why I'm getting married again. For me to go and get married again, something had to add up. To do it again. Are you ready? It's an August.
Starting point is 00:33:00 Yeah, no, I'm 100% ready. Shout out to my ex-wife, Tori. Still friends. We still talk, man. She's a great mother to my kids. I understand where my wrongs were. It has nothing to do with her. I separated myself from that situation.
Starting point is 00:33:13 I got better. And then as I got better, I grew with someone else. That's it. That's the reality, man. I was really trying to figure out what were you not doing that you had time to respond to this lady? You know what? What were you not doing? You really want to respond to this lady? What were you not doing? You really want to know what I was doing?
Starting point is 00:33:28 We just got done running. I'm training for 10Ks now. I was like, yo, I'm going to stop the 5Ks. I'm going to 10Ks. We're in Spain and we get done. We're just sitting on the step. So, you know, you sit on your step and you go through the phone. So, Nico go, she called me. The time difference is so crazy.
Starting point is 00:33:44 She said, hey, man crush. I said, what you talking about? She said, I miss you there. I made you my man crush. That's what I'm talking about. She said, go check my page. It's Monday. So literally, I put a little speaking phone.
Starting point is 00:33:54 I check a page. And you know when you see the picture right at the bottom, it's the comment. It's the last comment. It's the last comment. I'm like. You feeling all good? I'm like, I just got done working out.
Starting point is 00:34:05 I got my shirt off. I'm fresh off a sweat. I feel good about myself. My confidence is at an all-time high. I heard some Spanish women whistling and waving while I was running.
Starting point is 00:34:15 So a couple pieces, I felt that I was in slow motion. So just the wrong time because my confidence was way too high. So I said, you know what?
Starting point is 00:34:22 I said, babe, let me call you back. I didn't even tell her. I said, babe, let me call you back. I said, babe, I'm going to back. I didn't even tell her. I said, babe, let me call you back. Let me call you back.
Starting point is 00:34:27 I said, babe, I'm going to call you right back. I got off the phone, and I literally just went to the lady page. Once I get a look at your page, it's a wrap. If I go that hard, and I observe it. And now is that bullying? No, because I didn't go. Think about it. Look at my whole response. Let me see.
Starting point is 00:34:40 You got it there? Oh, yeah, I have it right here. Let me read my response. Let me show you how professional. Everything I do goes professional, okay? Say you're way too old to be this angry and bitter, okay? That's not a shot. That's not a bullying move.
Starting point is 00:34:53 That's really making you be aware of how old you are. That's factual. That's factual, all right? But you got lucky this time because I saw your comment, and I felt like being petty and replying. That's me now addressing, I'm going to give you what you want. He will do this. because I saw your comment and I felt like being petty and replying. That's me now addressing. I'm going to give you what you want. He will do this.
Starting point is 00:35:08 Take responsibility for your pettiness. I'm taking responsibility for the pettiness of my response. And embracing your astrological sign because you're a cancer. We're petty. This is called tweet breakdown. This is what we call this segment of the show. This is a tweet breakdown. Okay?
Starting point is 00:35:19 Now that you have the attention that you oh so desperately need, I suggest you use it wisely. Why do I feel that you need this attention? Because you took time out your day to go to a woman's page that you do not know and you have no knowledge of her or her relationship and you took time to be angry. So you do need the attention that you're about to get.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Let's break it down. It's not bullying. A woman of your age, which I know because I went to the page, I saw a birthday that clearly showed this woman was over 50. I knew that because there was only one balloon. You don't give older people more than one balloon. Everybody knows that.
Starting point is 00:35:55 It's not to be fat. Okay? A woman of your age should not be taking the time out of her day to type angry comments. Grow up, old lady. It's not bullying. It's a fact. A lot of ageism in that, though. I'm really old lady. It's not bullying. That's a fact. A lot of ageism in that, though.
Starting point is 00:36:07 I'm really making you aware, like, hey, you way too old. That's what I'm making you know. I would say get a man or somebody to love, but judging by your comment, your angry, bitter ass is lonely. So my suggestion is laughter. I'm now going at the fact that for you to go and knock somebody else who's obviously in love and happy and throw some of that bitter energy their way, it shows that you ain't got nobody.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Because if you had a partner, then that's something that you would say to your partner. I don't think she loves him. You know what I'm saying? That's a comment. And then your partner go, hey, baby, go ahead and put that down. Give me the remote. Let's watch Netflix or something. But you don't have that. That's why I went to angry typing,. Give me the remote. Let's watch Netflix or something. But you don't have that.
Starting point is 00:36:45 That's why I went to angry typing, okay? Now the factual moment. The next part goes when I say I suggest laughter. So go see my movie on June 17th. Promotions. There we go. Promotions. That's a plug, right?
Starting point is 00:36:56 Promotion. I took time to let her know the things are going on over here. June 17th, Central Intelligence is coming out. Go see my movie, okay? P.S. You have ugly Old lady hands Now that's bullying
Starting point is 00:37:08 Now wait It's not bullying That's being petty That's not bullying This is what I addressed Early on Is petty I said that I was
Starting point is 00:37:15 About to be petty I just warmed you up But as a comedian I'm not gonna take A little petty jab That's just a little It's a little petty jab And it's not one
Starting point is 00:37:23 To really go in I didn't attack her physical appearance. Her hands are her physical appearance. I said, P.S., you have ugly old lady hands. They look like tree bark. Now, here's what that is. Was that an accurate observation? It was an accurate observation.
Starting point is 00:37:38 I don't know if you've ever seen tree bark, but tree bark, when you get folded up, it looks like that. That's the picture I saw. Her hands are like that, folded to the side. Now, here's the thing, okay? People do things on the internet because they don't expect to get a reaction. Right.
Starting point is 00:37:51 So if I'm going to give you a reaction, you're going to get the abundance that comes with it. I know when I comment, everybody's going to pick it up. Of course.
Starting point is 00:37:58 All these blogs, sites, it's going to go crazy. Deal with that. You go deal with all that negative energy and now you figure it out. That's why she had to change her page and do all this stuff. Put it on private, probably.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Now, you go do that, because you threw energy my way. That's not going to affect my day, but I'm going to show you how to really mess up somebody's day. So now all this stuff that you got, you got younger kids calling you, your nieces and nephews, Gladys! What happened?
Starting point is 00:38:23 Gladys, what happened? Why you make him our man? What did Anika say? She said nothing. She laughed. You have to think about it like this. What are you doing as an individual to follow somebody, to click the follow button, which means I want to see your life
Starting point is 00:38:38 and then be angry about what you see. That means something right on your side. It has nothing to do with you. You chose to look at, this is my world. I can put up whatever I want to put up on here. You chose to be a part of this world. So if it upsets you, then the normal people will just unfollow. That is true. When I see somebody doing something good,
Starting point is 00:38:57 like when I see you with your sneaker, I'm like, damn, Kev got a sneaker. For me, I want to big that up. Let's celebrate that. If I see him be on vacation, celebrate that. There's different ways, man. All right, we got more with Kevin Hart. When we come back, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Good morning. That was Rihanna with work. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Kevin Hart is in the building now. Charlamagne? Who's more popping now?
Starting point is 00:39:22 You or Khaled? Khaled on your ass, bro. Hey, man, Khaled. Khaled do a stand-up. You might have's more popping now? You or Khaled? Khaled on your ass, bro. Khaled, take your shirt off. And not have an inkling of no confidence. Like, look at everybody else. Like, what's wrong with y'all? I said, get it,
Starting point is 00:39:40 Khaled. Khaled got a commercial for almond milk. Silk almond milk. I'll tell you what Khaled proved. Y'all can go back and look at interviews that I've said here in the past. I have forever embraced social media. I have forever told people social media is so key to branding, to taking an opportunity and making the best for yourself. You can recreate and create and recreate again.
Starting point is 00:40:04 That is your connection with your fan base. Khaled is a prime example of somebody who has used social media to take his platform to another level. And nothing changed. Khaled just dropped a new song with Drake. Khaled is now about to drop a new album. It's not like Khaled had a bunch of new music
Starting point is 00:40:21 that came out at the same time. Khaled got on Snapchat and opened up about what he had going on. He let people inside his house. He got lost on jet skis. He let people. I'm telling you, it's that curtain. You're in a day and age where the celebrities of old and the stars of old
Starting point is 00:40:37 don't let people see behind that curtain. Today, people want to say, hey, man, what goes on in your house? It's not that I want to come rob you, man. I just want to see how you live. I support you. Oh, you got dogs? I want to see your dogs. That's the power of where we are.
Starting point is 00:40:52 So when Khaled walks up the stairs, when he goes out and waters his plants, when he's on his hammock, when he's doing the golf cart talk, I follow Khaled. I follow Khaled, and I'm very entertained by Khaled because he's not the guy that's just screaming on the tracks that we all thought he was. He showed that there's more to him. And that's why all of these brands now are gravitating to Khaled.
Starting point is 00:41:13 You got a following because you're interested. When you become interesting, brands say, you know what, we want you to be a partner because you make sense for our brand. It's not a coincidence. It's real. This is where the smart entertainer becomes the smart businessman. And that's where you have to separate yourself. So who has the knowledge
Starting point is 00:41:30 to separate themselves? Shouts out to DJ Khaled. You get nothing but love and support from me. I heard you're doing a stand-up though. Hey, I will go see it. I need to get around him because I want to swipe and see what his Snapchat numbers are. I got to see what that number is over there because it's bugging me that I don't know it.
Starting point is 00:41:47 And I follow you on Snapchat. I don't like the way the trainer talks to you, man. I don't like the way your trainer talks to you, man. It's the funniest bit we got going. He talks you tough, man. Listen, it is the funniest bit that we have going. Like, any rule of comedy, comedy always comes in threes. And the whole thing with the trainer is that I really am a kid when I train.
Starting point is 00:42:04 Like, I go hard, but I have fun. Right. I make boss mad, man. You know, it's early in the morning. He takes his job serious. You got to say, I made boss make a commitment. I said, dude, I said, look, I'm going to give you a contract. We in here, we in here six to seven days a week.
Starting point is 00:42:21 The only way that seven day doesn't happen is if I'm in pain and we need rest on that seven day. I roll, you roll with me. Family vacation, you get a vacation. I said, this is not a BS moment. This is a lifestyle choice. I told you you wouldn't be in shape without money. Hey, look.
Starting point is 00:42:37 Hey, this is where it comes in. I said, it's a lifestyle choice. Now, ask me why I decided to do that. Well, I say, if I'm really going to try to adapt to this physical fitness and this healthy lifestyle, I'm going to do it for real. If I'm really going to really, really be about this run life, I want to do it for real. But I want somebody that has the time to get the knowledge. When I step in the rooms and now I bring you into these rooms, I'm going to drop some more shit on y'all. Every time I come here, I drop some shit on y'all.
Starting point is 00:43:04 There you go. When I come into these rooms, I don't go into rooms without knowledge or without people that have it. I'm educating you because I'm about to change your life. So right now, Boss is in position. Boss is about to be a trainer for Nike at the athletic events and stuff that we do. Right now, with Raleigh Health. Raleigh Health is a partner of mine. Why am I with Raleigh Health?
Starting point is 00:43:23 Well, if you're going to live a healthy lifestyle, you're going to be about physical fitness, why don't you get inside some insurance? Why don't you do something that educates people and gives them knowledge of their body and why insurance is important? Hey, boss, you know what? I want to bring you in here with Rally Health. When I do these events, there's nutrition seminars. I want boss to come in and give nutrition seminars and speak about it.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Done. We love it, Kevin. Boss, go. Get that relationship with Rally. Everything I do, I connect you. So now you look it. Done. We love it, Kevin. Boss, go. Get that relationship with Riley. Everything I do, I connect you. So now you look up. You're now becoming the business guy within the world
Starting point is 00:43:52 that you never saw being a business. So that's the difference. Nobody knows and realizes I'm signed as an athlete. Nike signed me. I'm not just walking around. It's for real. I told somebody the other day, I was talking about my man Low Key, and I was saying that your sneaker looked better than Steph Curry's sneaker.
Starting point is 00:44:10 And he was like, well, I don't think that Steph's going for style. I said, no, Kev's a performance shoe. And he was like, performing what? It's a performance shoe. It is a cross trainer, man. We went to the whole nine. When I met with Nike, I said, my message is simply to take care of yourself. You got one life, man.
Starting point is 00:44:29 I said, people right now are dropping like flies. Hell yeah. If you look up, man, I mean, rest in peace to Muhammad Ali. Kimbo Slice, we just lost. 42, that's young. I mean, dude, it's so sad when you look up and you see how quickly it's happened. Here today, going tomorrow. And a big part of it for a lot of these men, especially black men, is health.
Starting point is 00:44:51 You got guys dying of heart attacks at age 46, 44. So you don't realize you're out here eating and just walking around every day as if everything's good. It's not. It's going to catch up to you. And I said, if I can go and if I can get people to simply be active, I said, that's my impact on the world. Nike said, Kevin, we're not only going to help you, we're going to back you. You're saving lives, man.
Starting point is 00:45:11 Hey, man. And your whole team has slimmed down and everything. Wayne trained. Wayne trained. Wayne was busting out the band, though, not too long ago. You got to tell him, die to die, man. Die to die. That's a true statement.
Starting point is 00:45:22 I look at Charlamagne, every time I see him, I go, hey, man, you look good. That's it. You lean out. It's a good feeling to put that work in and people see you and go, hey, you look good, man. I don't understand how you don't want to stay around. I don't get it either. You got people that love you. Regardless of what's going on in your life, people love you.
Starting point is 00:45:41 People want to be around you. When you go, it affects somebody. Kev got to go. People want to be around you. When you go, it affects somebody. Kevin got to go. One last question. After Central Intelligence, I know you always buy yourself a present after you do a big project. Yes. So what did you buy yourself after Central Intelligence? After Central Intelligence, I'm a watch cop, man.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Each watch goes with a movie. That's a nice watch. There's a reason why. Because they don't depreciate what value. Well, not just that. I feel like a man's watch is a justification of how important time is to him. If you're a watch guy, it's because something about time.
Starting point is 00:46:13 You value time. You value the craftsmanship. With a watch, they're not just expensive just to be expensive. They're expensive because of the time that was put into making that watch. Speaking of time, do you ever feel like you're burning yourself out? Like, do you ever say to yourself, you know, I'm going to give people a break from Cav for a minute?
Starting point is 00:46:27 All right. Not even a second thought. With that being said, Central Intelligence comes out. June 17th. June 17th. Me and Dwayne The Rock Johnson. A good movie.
Starting point is 00:46:38 A great role reversal. DJ's the comic relief in the movie. I'm actually the straight man in the film. Animation. Secret Life of Pets. This is my first animation. You're a little white bunny rabbit? I'm a little white bunny rabbit. I'm a little white militant bunny rabbit, okay?
Starting point is 00:46:52 After Secret Life of Pets, I got another animation that's going to come out, I think, in 2018, Captain Underpants. I got a book now that I wrote, which is simply my life, me opening up about every single thing that I've been through. That'll be out probably late 18. We're going to film Jumanji in September. Jumanji? That's with me, The Rock, and Jack Black.
Starting point is 00:47:11 You're doing Jumanji? Yeah, I'm doing Jumanji. We're doing a remake. We're doing a remake of it because there's a lot of people in this generation that aren't familiar with what Jumanji was. So we're not trying to make the movie to be better than the one that was made. We're trying to make it to have people in this generation simply be familiar with it. Right.
Starting point is 00:47:25 Shouts out to Robin Williams. We are going to do nothing but pay homage to you and everything that you've done for that movie. What else? I'm about to do Untouchables, which is a drama. That's with me and Bryan Cranston. Season 5, Real Husbands of Wild Hollywood. That's coming out. We're going to probably do season 6.
Starting point is 00:47:40 I directed in season 5, so I'm about to go and move in to that directing realm. Dude, I just keep going. Goodness gracious. But he got 20 seconds to send a tweet throughout the day to be petty. It was a good tweet. It was a good tweet. It was a good tweet, man. It was a great tweet.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Well, we appreciate you for coming. Thanks for stopping through. We know you got to run. You know, we got a lot of love for you. I let you chew your gum all throughout the whole interview. It wasn't bad, though. I wasn't like. I didn't even notice you had gum.
Starting point is 00:48:01 See, it wasn't bad. It's a professional chew-up. Sneaker comes out. CEO. The movie comes out He comes out Ashley And I'm an athlete Sign my nike my son my nike and I just want to tell everybody out there that you can do it
Starting point is 00:48:18 Athletic quotes that I've been working You're in competition with you right That's the one I like the most. Should I curse my ass? Just do it, Kevin Hart. Just do it. There you have it. It's Kevin Hart. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:48:32 Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's The Rumor Report. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. June 13th, that is the day that Bobby Brown's book, Every Little Step, is coming out. And there's all kinds of information in there. Now, according to the Associated Press, Bobby Brown writes in detail about his bad boy behavior, his many sexual affairs with Janet Jackson and Madonna are among the people that he had.
Starting point is 00:49:05 Bobby Brown smashed Janet Jackson? Drop on the clues bomb for Bobby Brown, damn it. I mean, Madonna's a good scrape, too, just to say you did it. But Janet, wow. Did you know about that? I didn't know. You were her DJ. Very short term.
Starting point is 00:49:17 I still don't think many kids can tell, though. He also talks about the allegations that he corrupted Whitney Houston. He said that she was using cocaine before he was and continued to use drugs after he had cleaned up. And he also said that she also did her share of cheating with a few producers and artists, including Tupac. I mean, that's a good one. Drop one of the clue bombs for Whitney Houston. I can see why she would do that. It's Tupac.
Starting point is 00:49:42 He also said that Whitney Houston would smoke weed with Bobby Christina at times. With? With her. Wow. A lot of people was giving him flack for saying that about Whitney, but I mean, that was part of his life. I mean, if his wife did cheat on him with another man, that's okay for him to say. I don't agree with him kissing and telling him about Janet and Madonna.
Starting point is 00:49:58 Well, that's part of his life too. No. Men not supposed to do that. Like, you don't tell about your sexual experience. You can tell about another person. That's part of your life That you got cheated on If he was just
Starting point is 00:50:07 Some regular dude He wouldn't have said his name But if your wife Cheats on you with Tupac You can say that But if you sleep With Janet Jackson and Madonna You better keep your mouth closed
Starting point is 00:50:14 So guys should be out here Saying they slept with Angelina Jolie Not to put you On the level of Janet and Madonna Let's not get gassed Okay How can you say How can you say
Starting point is 00:50:22 That's his life So he can talk about it when it comes to somebody else? Because he got cheated on. Okay. He probably talked about how it felt to get cheated on by his wife and his Tupac. So he could name, well, there's a few producers. I just think it's whack for guys to kiss and tell. I think they both pass.
Starting point is 00:50:39 Same way I thought Bow Wow was whack yesterday to talk about it. He was asked. No. All right. Well, he also confirms that Whitney had a secret lesbian romance with her best friend, Robin Crawford. Really? The reason I say really is because when I used to be Wendy Williams' sidekick co-host, she would always say that over the air. And people would always look at Wendy like she's crazy.
Starting point is 00:51:04 But then it comes to pass, a lot of the things she said, whether it was Clive Davis, this Whitney thing is all true. Well, apparently in his book, he does say that Whitney was bisexual and he says that her family, including her mother, did not approve of the lesbian relationship and insisted that Robin
Starting point is 00:51:20 be fired. He said, I really feel that if Robin was accepted into Whitney's life, Whitney would still be alive today. She didn't have close friends with her anymore.
Starting point is 00:51:30 People were hitting on Wendy Williams all those years and she was out here telling the truth the whole time. Jesus Christ. Now, Troy Ave
Starting point is 00:51:36 was formally indicted yesterday for the shooting that happened at the T.I. concert. He was charged formally with attempted murder and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon. All of them are felonies. So the case was also moved to Manhattan Supreme Court.
Starting point is 00:51:53 That's the same venue where Bobby Schmurda is now fighting gang conspiracy charges. Troy Ave is due back in court July 7th. He could get up to 40 years in state prison on just the attempted murder charge. Horrible. Hold your head up. Alright, well that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. Alright, Miss Yee Charlemagne. Yes. Who we giving that down? Listen, four after the hour is yet another lesson that
Starting point is 00:52:16 what you do online can get you effed up offline. Alright. Yeah, I said that correctly. Is that right? Yes. Alright. We'll talk about it four after the hour. We'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day at Jungle Bay.
Starting point is 00:52:33 I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed place. So like a donkey. Keyhole. Donkey of the Day. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but Donkey of the Day is a new one. Yes, Donkey of the Day for Friday, June 10th goes to Moe Wadden, a.k.a. Soft Caramel Kiss on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:52:57 Now, this guy got fired because he decided to send what is being called a homophobic, vulgar tweet about the Currys, okay? Specifically, Riley Curry. Now, its. Okay, specifically Riley Curry. Now, it all started when Sadale Curry. Did I pronounce her name right? Sadale Curry? Sounds right. Steph's sister tweeted out, Wheels up to Cleveland with mama and granny.
Starting point is 00:53:14 And Moe Wadden replied back, You and your whole family get the F out of Cleveland and take Riley's gay slur that rhymes with maggot ass with you. Now, first of all, when you slander people, it has to make sense. If you call Del Curry or Steph Curry or Steph Curry the gay slur that rhymes with maggot, then that would make sense. But how can a three-year-old little girl ever be that word? I know this guy Moe is just trying to be disrespectful,
Starting point is 00:53:39 but at least let the disrespect make sense, okay? Now, what Moe Wadden didn't realize was what happens online can directly impact your life offline. That's a piece of advice I scribe to give all you idiots, but y'all don't listen. Y'all think social media is not the real world. I don't understand it. People be on social media acting like nobody can see them except the person they insulting or the person they trying to intimidate by waving a bunch of pistols around.
Starting point is 00:54:01 But Mo Wadden, we can see you. Not only can we see you, but your employer, Houghton Wise Property Group, a real estate firm, can see you too. So everybody started tweeting Houghton Wise Property Group about this negative energy Mo Wadden was spreading. So Houghton Wise replied, our apologies to all who are a party to this attack. Houghton Wise does not condone this,
Starting point is 00:54:22 and we have terminated this apprentice. Drop one of Clues bombs for this. For this justice. I'm here for it. So your dumb ass lost your apprenticeship because the law of energy is that energy is never lost or destroyed. Just transfer from one party to the next and your negative miserable ass
Starting point is 00:54:38 just wanted to transfer your negative energy towards the Curry family. Well here's the thing. The Curry family will be just fine. Okay? They are straight and here's the thing. The Curry family will be just fine, okay? They are straight, and they're going to be straight. Steph Curry, like a second-generation millionaire. His daddy was a millionaire. Meanwhile, you just got fired from your apprenticeship, okay?
Starting point is 00:54:54 Because you worried about trying to ruin someone else's day for the moment, you ended up ruining your life for the moment, okay? Then Moe Wadden tweeted out, so what? I'll get another job at another real estate office. Moe Wadden, you sure about that? You must be getting the name change because people are going to remember this Moe Wadden guy, a.k.a. Soft Caramel Kisses on Twitter. Okay, people are going to remember this for a while.
Starting point is 00:55:16 And ain't nobody going to hire you, especially when you're tweeting things like, hey, I lost my job, but they lost the game. Who really lost here? It's not the team. You, Moe. Okay, but they lost the game. Who really lost here? Is it the team? I mean. You, Mo. Okay? You're the one who lost.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Everybody on the Warriors is doing better than you. They have their career. They are living it, okay? You're still trying to make it, and you think you're just going to jump back in the real estate game when you're tweeting stuff like, oh, my dude, it was worth every second. Trust me, I'd do it again, all over again. That tweet right there is exactly why you won't get another apprenticeship in the real estate game, because you
Starting point is 00:55:49 don't get it. Alright? You think you won because you're getting some attention from social media? You can't make a career off retweets, bro. I don't know if you got kids, but you see it can't eat no likes. Okay, Mo, today, everybody will have moved on to something else. Today, this morning, alright
Starting point is 00:56:05 You was just a social media fart It happened, we heard it Stank for a few brief seconds And now we on to the next But the Currys will still be rich The Warriors will still be rich And your dumb ass is still sitting in Cleveland Looking for a new place to be an apprentice
Starting point is 00:56:19 Okay, and you won't get it Because according to you, if you could do it all over again You would Please give Mo Warden the biggest hee-haw And you won't get it because according to you, if you could do it all over again, you would. Please give Moe Warden the biggest hee-haw. And for everybody that he's retweeting, I'm sorry you lost your job because you exercised your freedom of speech completely un-American. Well, they exercised their freedom to fire you. That's what I tell people all the time about the freedom of speech. You can have all the freedom of speech you want, but people have the freedom to react how they want. There will be consequences to that freedom of speech. You can have all the freedom of speech you want, but people have the freedom to react how they want.
Starting point is 00:56:46 There will be consequences to that freedom of speech. You're not going to jail for what you said, but you definitely lost your job. And I'm going to tell you something else. I dropped one of the clues bombs for that again, okay? And I'm going to tell you something else. If the Currys really want to disrespect Moe Wadden, they will send him a pair of Stephen Curry's new sneaker, the UA
Starting point is 00:57:02 Curry 2 Low, with a note attached saying if you need employment, come cut our grass. Here's the sneakers to go with your uniform. Stop it, man. Leave them sneakers alone, man. Those are beyond trash. Let me go check my underarms. That ain't that bad. Alright, well thank you for that, Donkey. Today,
Starting point is 00:57:17 when we come back, The Roots will be joining us. Okay. So we're gonna kick it with The Roots, talk about The Roots picnic, everything that's going on with The Roots. Not just The Roots, Quest Love, and Black Thought. it with the Roots. Talk about the Roots picnic, everything that's going on with the Roots. Not just the Roots. Questlove and Black Thought. They're the Roots. No, the Roots is more than a group. I want people to know that it's Questlove and Black Thought and not, you know, the drummers. The whole collective.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Or Rozelle. Rozelle still with the Roots? James Poyser. Yeah. There's a lot of people in the Roots. Well, the Roots when we come back, keep it locked. Yes. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on. That was Beyonce, Crazy in Love. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy,
Starting point is 00:57:47 Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Special guest in the building, the legendary Roots Crew. What's up? What's up? Questlove, Black Thought.
Starting point is 00:57:55 Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's good? How you doing? Quest, I don't know why whenever a legendary figure in our community dies, I immediately think of you, man. Like Prince,
Starting point is 00:58:02 Muhammad Ali. I go right to your Twitter or something. It's 2016, man. It's like, I don't know what's going on. I don't know if it's the rapture or, you know,
Starting point is 00:58:12 we're losing at a rapid pace like all of our greats. And it's just like that moment, it hits me to write about them. Absolutely. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:21 How did y'all start the Roots Picnic nine years ago? I mean, because it's a success. It's a huge thing where there's so many different artists out there. This year was just even crazy. Yeah. How did y'all start the Roots Picnic nine years ago? I mean, because it's a success. It's a huge thing where there's so many different artists out there. And this year was just even crazy. Right.
Starting point is 00:58:29 In Philly. In Philly, yeah. Yeah, we used to spend a lot of time on the road, you know, playing festivals like around the world. And it was something that we always wished we could bring, you know, to the city of Philadelphia and, you know, bring to the States and do it in our own way, you know, to be able to kind of curate it and, like, handpick the artists who would play and, you know bring to the states and do it in our own way you know to be able to kind of curate it and like hand pick the artists who will play and you know have it grow and eventually
Starting point is 00:58:52 be something that's on par with you know all these other festivals that we were featured on so um we started you know small and now we're like nine ten years in and um and the brand is continuing to grow so you're bringing it to New York? Yes, for the first time. Why, though? I feel like Chick-fil-A coming to New York. Keeping it in the South is a nice thing. I'm super excited for it. That's what Chick-fil-A was all in the South.
Starting point is 00:59:16 It's a natural progression. And the demand for it. People have been begging for a New York picnic for a minute now. I mean, we're expanding even past this. I think in October, we're going to have one in Japan as well. Wow, that's dope. So I think like the next phase of our concert career is now curating festivals. As far as Europe is concerned, like there are hundreds of festivals in Europe.
Starting point is 00:59:39 Like we have a few, but there are hundreds. So, I mean, we're just trying to add our part to the pie. And how do y'all pick the acts that's going to be on a picnic? Between Questlove, myself, and our management, we just kind of, you know. We have different tastes. Yeah, we battle it out. Y'all go from Willow Smith to, you know, you go different ways. We battle it out, but, you know, everyone gets a chance to kind of, you know, showcase
Starting point is 01:00:01 their taste, like their aesthetics. Haven't Willow created a dope moment for y'all, though, this year? Oh, yeah, yeah, you know. She did, but we were kind of hoping that we'd get that moment, too. Yeah, I was telling her.
Starting point is 01:00:11 We've been begging Will. We've been begging Will Smith for, you know, for 10 years easy. To do something. To, you know, team up with Jazzy Jeff and come on stage with us
Starting point is 01:00:20 and do, you know, the classic summertime with us in Philly in the summertime, you know, the classic summertime with us in Philly in the summertime. You know. It's so good. I'm doing my lawn. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:30 I'm doing my lawn. It's like... We never managed to get him out, but the key was booking his daughter. So he came out, you know what I mean,
Starting point is 01:00:36 with his little empress. And they held it down and it was still a super viral, super, you know, magical moment. You know, we just wish, I wish i could
Starting point is 01:00:45 have been up there where was your hype man i was in the shower when you were when i'm answering it's like yeah no will smith is doing summertime with it i was like dry off i wish that new i wish that record was a new york record so bad when it came out because he did it was the whole philly of everything it was a new york record it was a rock yeah essentially rock him wrote it but yeah it was just like a place where the plateau was, where everybody go, I just wanted to be at the plateau. It made you feel so good when that record came out. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:01:13 Hopefully next year, I think we might, we're considering relocating the picnic. Yeah, like to the plateau. Or Will Smith's backyard. That's the only way I'm going to do it. In L.A. Well, I mean, it would only be right if we did it at the Platte. That's one of the wish lists.
Starting point is 01:01:29 All this time we've been doing the picnic at the Festival Pier in Philly. Essentially a slab of concrete. This move here to Bryant Park is actually going to be the first time that the Roots Picnic is a picnic. Like a real grass.
Starting point is 01:01:45 I feel like we've pretty much outgrown the Festival Pier. that the Roots picnic is a picnic. Oh, grass. Like a real grass. You know what I mean? I feel like we've kind of pretty much outgrown the festival pier, so we need to take it to where we originally wanted to have it, which is Fairmount Park and the plateau. You guys left Def Jam. We left peacefully. That's technically. Y'all don't need no label. That's what I was thinking.
Starting point is 01:02:01 Yeah, we don't. Would y'all rather do independent, or would y'all want to go to a major? For distribution purposes, you know, we'll definitely rely on a major. But I think right now the move for anybody making records is not to sign a long-term contract. Yeah. Especially with the way that 360 deals are set up and that sort of thing. Quest Lab, you also have the book out.
Starting point is 01:02:23 And you're doing this whole cooking series. Explain what that is. Well, it's not a cooking series. I mean, really, pretty much what I focus on in all the books that I create is just the idea of creativity. And how people should use creativity as a motivation. I know the idea of getting keys and trophies. It's like, okay, you get the reward of it. But I'm trying to show people that the work that you put into it is the real passion,
Starting point is 01:02:50 not just the rewards that you reap. So, I mean, this book is about the chefs that I respect. I mean, these are like the, you know, these are the Jay-Z's, the Rockhams, the Nas's of the food world. Yeah, the food world and, you know, their craft. All right, we got more with The Roots when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:03:09 Good morning. That was Needed Me, Rihanna. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have The Roots in the building. Now, Charlamagne. The BET tribute to Prince.
Starting point is 01:03:21 I know Stephen Hill's on y'all ass because there's not a bigger Prince fan in the world than Stephen Hill. What are those conversations like? You know, I mean, we've pretty much talking since probably 48 hours after he passed. Yeah. Brainstorming with Stephen, trying to figure out what songs were, you know, best with who. And I think, I mean, as it stands now, I think they're going to divide it up into micro-tributes. I think like Sheila E.
Starting point is 01:03:47 has her own tribute with her own crew. I love Sheila E. D'Angelo and I will do our tribute with a few surprises. And I think like there's two other micro-tributes planned. But you know, I mean, the overall thing is that,
Starting point is 01:04:01 you know, along with the Billboard Awards and I know people are salty with that, but it's like... The Madonna performance tribute. Yeah. I mean, I know people is that, you know, along with the Billboard Awards, and I know people are salty with that. The Madonna performance. Yeah. I mean, I know people had a salty taste for them, but it's like there's going to be nine other award shows. Like, you know, there's going to be one for the Grammys. There's one MTV Awards, American Music Awards. There's going to be a skillion of them.
Starting point is 01:04:19 And Prince's catalog is not the easiest to translate. You know, it's like a very specific artist has to convince the people. So just know that when you're watching a tribute, it's really hard to pay homage to someone that's left such a high standard of performance. Not everything's going to match. But the BET tribute is going to be the one. Gotcha. It has to be.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Listen, as soon as he died, God bless the dead, I was like, boy, I know Stephen Hill is gonna have an amazing tribute playing. Do you think about those kind of stuff now? Because like you said, everybody's passing at a rate, at a crazy rate.
Starting point is 01:04:56 As a musician, do you think, I can't wait to do such and such's tribute? What? Now I know that's crazy. Do they die? You know, I mean, at some points, it just becomes like num die. You know, I mean, at some point it just becomes like numbing. You know what I mean? Especially when Ali passed.
Starting point is 01:05:10 It was like that normally people expected like, oh, man, I thought he was going to write a paragraph for Ali. But it's just like, you know, it just becomes numbing. Like every two weeks, someone that was crucial in your life is no longer here. And it's just like, this is hard to process. You know, and death shouldn't be that easy to us and it's just like it's this is hard to process you know i think that shouldn't be that easy to us that it's just like a shrug like okay you know it shouldn't be that way but i mean it's becoming that or maybe it's the immediacy immediacy of the moment because people feel like you got a comment right then and there but maybe you're not just not ready to talk about it yet sometimes i mean you know i, with someone like Prince that was very influential in my
Starting point is 01:05:45 musicianship, I mean, the words just poured out, but I hope the faucet stops. I would like a break and hope that no one passes in the next six months. Have the Prince vs. Michael Jackson questions drained you yet?
Starting point is 01:06:01 Not really. Prince vs. Michael Jackson has been the topic since he died. Not really. I mean, I can't, like, Michael Jackson's my favorite entertainer.
Starting point is 01:06:12 Prince is my favorite musician. Right. I think it's possible for us to have both, you know? Right. And not just like choose a Beatles
Starting point is 01:06:22 or a Rolling Stones one or the other. Yeah, I think even when they were alive that was always the question. Prince or... Oh, who was better? Right. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:06:29 And it's all a matter of opinion. And then you could say, I like this body of work, and I love this one, and I love this one. They just were both great at what they did. Yeah. For entertainment purposes, I love Michael Jackson. For musicianship purposes, I love Prince. Two different species.
Starting point is 01:06:44 We needed them both. You know what I'm saying? Now, for the Roots Picnic in New York, let us know what the dates are and who is going to be performing, who's confirmed. The Roots Picnic New York is going to be in Bryant Park on October 1st and 2nd. Two days. Yeah, two-day festival. Night number one is kind of like a soulful theme. So The Roots, John Mayer, and D'Angelo,
Starting point is 01:07:08 and about four or five other unnamed artists will form one big giant super group. Wow. Yeah. And kind of just do like a running mixtape for two hours. Yeah, that's going to be the headline performance on October 1st. That's like your jam session. Pretty much.
Starting point is 01:07:25 That's great. I love that. But then we also. That's like your jam session. Pretty much. On steroids, yeah. I love that. But then we also have, you know, during the course of the day, we have ex-ambassadors Kevin Gates, Jeremiah, Stretch and Bobbito, Everyday People featuring DJ MoMA, Gerard Carmichael. This is the first Roots Picnic that we're featuring comedy on.

Lady Le Cher, Emily Wells, Chargo, Smashing Hearts, Chill Moody. October 2nd is going to be like our love letter to New York City. Always going to be Philly boys, but we honorary New Yorkers now, too. So we like paying homage to where it all began.
Starting point is 01:08:03 Right. And we bringing out the Wu-Tang Clan In it's living entirety That's crazy The Whole Wu, David Byrne, Nile Rodgers Rounding that off It's going to be Trombone Shorty, Swizz Beatz Darehoof, EPMD

Starting point is 01:08:46 Yes. I didn't even have any idea that could happen. Yeah. Miracles happen. What makes y'all pick the new guys? Like, how do y'all decide on Kevin Gates and Lil Uzi? Lil Uzi from Philly, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:55 Yeah, he's from Philly. You know, it's about bridging the gap and, you know, finding artists who are on the verge, like who are about to pop. And, you know, finding artists who matter to a younger audience, to a younger generation, introducing them to the OGs and vice versa. You know what I'm saying? So much thought and consideration goes into it. It's a painstaking process. We have a lot of arguments about, you know, who should be on it, who shouldn't.
Starting point is 01:09:22 But I feel like at the end, you know, the final result is a well-rounded, balanced bill. K-pop's starting to age well, don't you think? I mean, I know I'm aging well. Yeah, when you walked in, I was like, I thought you was a detective. Who is that? Who is that?
Starting point is 01:09:38 I'm like, who is that? They gotta go. They got some other jobs. They gotta go. Well, we appreciate you guys for joining us. Thank you for having us. You're definitely going to see me at the show. I'm going to go see Nile Rodgers. I'm going to go see Wu-Tang. I'm going to go to San Diego.

We'll definitely be there. All right. There you have it. It's the Roots. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Love. Listen up. It's just in.
Starting point is 01:10:11 All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, YG will be on a special on Viceland this weekend on Sunday. And he's going to be sitting down with a therapist to talk about some issues he's had since that shooting. Here's what happens.
Starting point is 01:10:30 Oh, man. It's a lot of f***ing, man. And I got shot. Really don't know who popped me. I thought I was gone. I'm about to bleed to death. It's a wrap. What's the aftermath of that? It's bad. I'm paranoid. My people's like, you need to go talk to somebody. What's the aftermath of that? It's bad, like, I'm paranoid. My people's like,
Starting point is 01:10:46 you need to go talk to somebody. That's real. I be saying all the time, man, there's a lot of dudes in the hood who probably suffer from PTSD, but don't even know it because of all the killings they see, or even being victims of violent crimes, getting shot at. It's like coming home from a war. And he said he has turned to alcohol as a coping mechanism since that happened also.
Starting point is 01:11:04 And that's why I don't be liking slave movies either. Let me see how I bring all this together. Let me see. Slave movies reinforce all the trauma that we've experienced
Starting point is 01:11:12 here in America. And when you got kids out here already still going through trauma, it just, you know, reinforces all those feelings. Well, I spoke to YG the other day. He was like, it was hard to actually do this album
Starting point is 01:11:22 because no studio would actually let him book because it was all the problems and all the beef that he actually had to record in Snoop Dogg's house. Snoop let him record in the crib. That's how he actually finished his album and he recorded it in the bay. I hope Snoop sent the invoice to Def Jam. I'm sure. Okay.
Starting point is 01:11:35 Well, the album Still Brazy is coming out later this month also. All right. So Eminem, he has invested in something new. Eminem and his manager, Paul Rosenberg. And by the way, Paul Rosenberg is the person who got me started in radio alongside Eminem. And they have now formed a partnership with a Detroit-based company. It's called StockX, which is like the stock market of things. So it's a new online trading platform. And that's for limited edition products. So what they do is they allow live bid asks and trades. So when a
Starting point is 01:12:04 seller's ask price meets a buyer's bid, that's when everything connects. Now, according to Eminem, he said, sneakers have always been a huge interest of mine for at least as long as I've been rapping, and I'm proud of the fact I've had so many collaborations with Nike and Jordan brand. So as part of that launch, they're going to actually let people
Starting point is 01:12:20 have access to rare personal sneakers from Eminem's own collection. So you can get some of the Eminem and Carhartt Jordan 4s. Those are going to get up to $30,000 for that one pair of sneakers. Well, last year, you know, for Christmas, he gave all his employees a pair of Jordan 4s. I think it was maybe 100 pair, but they're limited. They go for like 20 grand each. Right.
Starting point is 01:12:42 So you know who else is backing this company? Dan Gilbert, the founder and chairman of Quicken Loans and owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers. So that's one of the other investors, the founders of the company. So that's open now already. Who's going to admit to being behind them? Steph Curry, U.A. Curry, two lows, though. Why you want them sneaking so hard? I'm sending those to all the kids who've been naughty this Christmas.
Starting point is 01:13:03 All right. All right. All right. And now let's discuss Justin Bieber. Now, I know you guys all saw this video of Justin Bieber getting into a fight. This was also in Cleveland. All right. Well, Lamont Richmond is the guy who got into the altercation with Justin Bieber. And, you know, he's already planning to sue.
Starting point is 01:13:19 He's already met with a lawyer. And here's what Lamont has to say. The fool ran up on me. I was with the girls. We just asked the d*** for an autograph. I don't know about all this other stuff y'all talking about. You know, I ain't got nothing else to say.
Starting point is 01:13:31 He kind of deserved it, man. Did you see this dude? This dude looks like a big old extra from Roots. He's 6'5". If you're 6'5 and about 270, you should not be walking up to Justin Bieber asking for an autograph. Well, they said, apparently, allegedly,
Starting point is 01:13:43 they were hanging out with him and two girls. And the two women wanted to take a picture asking for an autograph. Well, they said, apparently, allegedly, they were hanging out with him and two girls. And the two women wanted to take a picture and get an autograph. And that's when Justin Bieber called him. I mean, that's when Justin Bieber said, no autographs tonight, mother effer. Have some respect for yourself. Have some respect for your size. 6'5", 270. You should not be asking Justin Bieber for an autograph.
Starting point is 01:14:02 Justin Bieber shouldn't be out there by himself either. That is a fact, too. Right. Well, it wasn't for him. I mean, the ladies probably be out there by himself either. That is a fact too. Right. Well, it wasn't for him. I mean, the lady's probably like, oh my God. I don't care. All right, you know, I'll ask him. The worst thing he could do is say no.
Starting point is 01:14:11 That's what you're thinking. The worst thing that's going to happen is you're going to say no. And that is your rumor report. I'm Angela Yee. All right, Miss Yee.
