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

Yes, it is.
And my knees hurt.
So I'm ready for the weekend.
You know how when you get to the end of the weekend, all your joints start to hurt?
No. That don't happen to nobody but me?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Goodness gracious. Tell them why you're mad. What are you talking about? You told them I was pregnant and don't even know it. Goodness gracious.
Tell them why you're mad.
800-585-1051.
And don't forget, this morning, Kevin Hart will be joining us and also The Roots.
Filly heavy.
Filly heavy in the building.
Stay with us.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Hey, yo.
This is DMX.
You know what makes me mad?
We ask for the truth, but can't handle the truth.
Now tell them why you mad on The Breakfast Club, bitches.
This is Jameson out of Worcester, Massachusetts on the 508.
Hey, tell them why you mad, bro.
I'm mad because Charlemagne always over here thinks,
he really thinks that the Warriors are going to take it in game five.
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
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?
Joe from Brooklyn. Hey, tell them why you mad, Joe.
Mad at myself mostly.
I messed up on a female I really love.
What you did, man? Honestly,
I messed up four times and she still forgets.
Four times? Okay. Did you hit her or
cheat on her? I cheated on her. Never hit her.
Well, she deserves better.
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.
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,
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.
I mean, I can't honor this request
because you got caught
cheating four times, bro.
Are you told on yourself
four times?
As a man,
I can't honor that request.
Definitely.
That's all right.
I can only hope for better, you know?
That's all we can do.
Hopefully you learn your lesson for the next one.
Good luck.
And don't waste God's time with prayers either.
He's going to ignore you.
Hello, who's this?
A white boy from Boston.
A white boy from Boston?
You ain't got a name?
That's very stereotypical.
My name's Boo Ryan.
I'm an Irish Catholic white boy from Boston.
What's up?
Tell them why you're mad.
I'm calling because you guys have been talking about racial issues, right?
I'm from the projects.
I'm from the hood.
I grew up with black, Hispanic, the only white boy from my hood.
There's a lot of things I'm going to talk about, right?
I can't tell.
All right.
So go ahead.
Get to talking, brother.
Yeah, come on.
Let's get to it.
Slavery was a long time ago, right?
Blacks are mad, right, at white people for slavery, right?
The white man never went into Africa and captured slaves.
The white man went to Africa and bought slaves from the black man.
Black people nowadays need to stop coming at the white man.
So the white man's not accountable for buying people.
This is good.
I mean, black people had slaves, too.
The white man's not accountable for buying people. I mean, are Spanish accountable for buying people. This is good. I mean, black people have slaves too. I understand what he's saying.
for buying people.
I mean,
Hispanics are accountable
for buying people.
Also, blacks are accountable
for buying people too
because blacks bought people
from the Mongolians.
So,
So you're saying
white people are innocent
in this?
Or, I don't understand.
White people aren't innocent.
But the black man
is a man
just like the white man
is a man. I the white man is a man
I don't think you're making any sense sir
But keep going
I'm making a lot of sense
There you go
I'm thinking
Based on what I'm saying right
Who am I talking to?
Charlemagne Tha God?
Charlemagne, Envy, Angelique
All three of us
The Breakfast Club
The tree headed monster
So keep what I'm saying right
The whole slavery thing right
With the white man
Alright listen
I'm over it
Hey but listen
I love you bro
I love you
This is 2016
We're black
We're white
It's all unity
I hope so
We're trying to get it there
You know what I mean?
It's all love
But I just can't
listen to you

You try
We try to give him time
We try
We try to give him a shot
Peep this
Peep this
Tell him why you're mad
800-585-1051
If you're upset you you need to vent.
Call us now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Hey, yo.
This is DMX.
You know what makes me mad?
When people ask for the truth but can't handle the truth.
Now tell them why you mad on The Breakfast Club, bitches.
Hey, what's up?
This is Mark from Rockland.
Mark, tell them why you mad, bro.
Is it me or is that Remy Monberg
dissed to Nicki Minaj
and nobody's seen that?
I think it's just you.
Yeah, I think it's just you.
I think she's going at every female artist.
I don't think it's one particular.
There's no female rap artist
except for Nicki Minaj.
There's a lot of female rap artists.
Are you kidding me?
That sounded ridiculous.
You got Dej Loaf.
You got Tink.
You got Rhapsody.
You still got Iggy Azalea
out here in these streets.
You got a lot of female rappers. You got Dreezy. Dreezy. I don't know. Then you still got Iggy Azalea out here in these streets. You got a lot of people.
You got Dreezy.
Dreezy.
I don't know.
Then you still got all the older ones like Lil' Kim.
You got Foxy Brown.
I don't know about Foxy, but you know.
Foxy Brown's still rapping, man.
Hello, who's this?
Our cameraman said something.
You just do the camera, okay.
What's up, bro?
What's up, bro?
You just do the camera.
Good morning.
Mac Adon, how y'all doing?
What's up, bro?
What's up with your Barry White voice?
I'm sorry, Miss Lady.
This is just the sixth form.
So I'm kind of upset.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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,
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.
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?
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
See, it wasn't bad.
It's a professional chew-up.
Sneaker comes out.

It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The Rumor Report.
Gossip.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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,
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
Boy, Gerard is a brave man.
Yeah, we got Gerard Carmichael.
God didn't miss all that music.
He tried to tell no joke.
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.
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
I'm doing a live mixtape element
Bringing out some special guests
Like Styles P, Royce
DJ J.Period, Echo Smith Lil U Vert, Daniel Bombada Marley, Yuna, EJ Jazzy Jeff, Neil Brennan doing comedy on that day.
Jesus Christ, man.
Bebe Varely, Grits and Biscuits.
It's going to be, you know.
I got to come.
It's going to be pretty amazing.
How can people get tickets?
Ticketmasters?
10 a.m. I think tickets going.
So, EPMD is going to be.
They're back in business.
Yeah. Really? Yes. I didn't be... They're back in business. Yeah.
Really?
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.
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.
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?
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.
You know, listen, I tell you, I worked for Nile Rodgers.
I worked for Wu-Tang.
We're working with Styles P right now.
C-E-P-M-D, Eric and Parrish.
I got to see them as well.
It's going to be amazing.
And DJ Scratch.
Yes, he will be there.
Wow.
Wow.
All right, we'll definitely be there.
All right, there you have it.
It's The Roots.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wow. All right. 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.
All the gossip. Gossip.
The Rumor Report. Gossip.

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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.

Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?

Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
