First and foremost, we have Marlon Wayans, who will be joining us this morning. That's right. The Aretha Franklin movie starring Jennifer Hudson. Respect is out today. And Marlon's in that movie. He plays Tim White, I think the character. I think it is. Don't quote me on that.

Is that the character? Okay. I should know. I don't know off the top of my head right now, but yes. And he got a stand-up special coming out on HBO Max on August 19th called You Know What It Is. So we'll talk to Marlon all about that. And somebody else just put out a new single today, and she ain't put out music in a couple

of years. Who's that? Who's that? Lizzo. Okay? Lizzo will be joining us this morning. She got a single called Rumors featuring Cardi B. Why you trying to say Lizzo so quickly? You just gonna say Lizzo? Why Lizzo? Why you just Lizzo. Okay? Lizzo will be joining us this morning. She got a single called Rumors featuring Cardi B. I was trying to say Lizzo.

I was just going to say Lizzo. Lizzo. Lizzo. I mean, Lizzo's a big deal. You want to put a little sauce on her name. What's the guy's name, buddy? What is it? Oh, Ted White.

Yes, Ted White. That's who Marlon Wayans plays in the A Reef for Franklin movie. That's right. So Lizzo will be joining us as well this morning. So let's get into her single. Then we'll get into front page news. This is a good way for Lizzo to address all the rumors about her. You know what I mean? Like, why just get on an Instagram story?

Why just, you know, tweet about it when you can put it in a song and make money? All right. Well, here it is. It's Lizzo featuring Cardi B. It's Rumors. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. All right. That was Rumors. Lizzo. Lizzo, Cardi B. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Lizzo will be checking in with us this morning, too. That's right. A little later on. Yeah, a little later on in the show. But right now, let's get in some front page news. Now, they're saying there's eight states that make up half of the U.S. COVID-19 hospitalizations.

Who is they? Well, this is coming from CNN. Okay. Now, they're saying Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, and Texas. It says of all of 19 hospitalizations, these eight states combined total 51% of patients. Which is a lot. Okay. Name them again now. Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia

aka Atlanta, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, and Texas. Not frequent in any of those places anytime soon. Now new evidence has come out that the latest variant, Lambda,

won't be slowed down by vaccines. So it looks like vaccines is taking well to Lambda. And the FDA approves third vaccination shot for at-risk patients. Hold on, I need you to explain that a little better now.

You said it won't be slowed down by the vaccine? Yes, that's what I'm saying. You can still get it? Yes, I guess that's what it's saying. It still get it yes i guess that's what it's saying still spreads crazy yep that's what it's saying and also what is the best protection against covid guys i'm just trying to figure this thing out here well you know they always said that the vaccine it's not gonna stop you from getting covid it just won't stop you from hopefully

getting sick and going to the hospital. Okay. Yeah, I need a little bit more of that. I need some context to the, you know, it's not slowing it down. I need to know what that means. Exactly. That's all. Well, you're asking the wrong person. Now, some good news, some fun news.

Wendy's is giving away free breakfast sandwiches today. That's right. It's Friday the 13th, and the fast food chain has announced that they will be giving away free breakfast sandwiches. That's exactly what I need to hear. You get a bacon and cheese, and you get a sausage and cheese, and you get a bacon and cheese. For free, they're saying no catch. Available during the breakfast hours only. So that's between 6.30 and 10.30 in most spots.

That's right. Nothing but highbrow stuff here on The Breakfast Club, ladies and gentlemen. That's exactly what we need. Free windows. All right. Also, is that a promo? Oh,

is that you just... I seen it on Instagram. Oh, okay, okay. I need to know how to act if it was a promo. If it was a paid ad.

If it was a paid ad, no, no paid ad. I need to know how to act. I just happened to see it though, it was pretty cool. Now,

IHOP, now you know IHOP is banging. They're definitely for older people because they get the free pancakes. You got to be 55, I think, to get the free pancakes from IHOP. Now, you know, IHOP is banging. They're definitely for older people because they get the free pancakes. You got to be 55, I think, to get the free pancakes from IHOP. Mm-hmm. But now IHOP is adding booze, alcohol to the menu in some locations.

On the company's new menu, they got Bud Light, Blue Moon, Corona Bears, as well as Barefoot Bubbly Brut, Chardonnay, and Wines. You excited about that? Nope. Not even in the least bit. Why is that in front page news? Is IHOP about to start having brunch or something? Like, why are they adding liquor?

That would be dope. IHOP should have brunch. Could you imagine IHOP play some music? They already got breakfast. Now they got liquor. That would be a dope spot for brunchOP should have brunch.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.

This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

How you, brother? I'm good, man. I actually got off my chest this morning, man. What's up?

Kanye West, man. This dude lying more than the president, man, by dropping this album, man. He pushed his album back again. We're going to talk about it in rumors next. I mean, he pushed his album back again, and he's probably going to have another listening session, and y'all going to go again and put that stadium out. This is Kanye West's world. We just live in it.

Kanye West does what he wants to do, and I'm not even mad at him. I actually respect it. Damn, that's all he wanted to say. Thank you for calling, man. Hello, who's this? This is Charles from Brooklyn. Hello, Charles. Charles from Brooklyn.

From Brooklyn. How are you, Charles? I'm good, Charlie. How are you? I'm blessed black and highly favorite. How are you? What's going on, sir? Not that much.

I'm out in the works this morning. Okay, okay. Where you work at? I work for New Jersey Transit. Oh, dope, dope, man. Keep us moving out here in these streets. Yes, sir. So, Charlemagne, I got a question. I got both of your books, but I want to know, can I get a physical copy? Of course.

Which one you want? Black Privilege or Shook One? Black Privilege. Yeah, I'm going to get your address and I'll mail you a copy. Just stay on hold. Hold on a minute. Hello, who's this? Here. What's up, Envy? What's up, Trav? What's up, Sean?

Peace, sis. How you? I'm doing good. I want to talk about something real quick. I want to talk about that guy who called in yesterday, y'all. King Gemini. He called in about Rodman coming out as bisexual. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, y'all probably know him better as the person that keeps referring to Envy

as DJ Newsman. Yes. So much that we have sex on his joke about Envy's butt. Then he repeated the same entire joke, but then he went on to talk about Robin. His joke was bad. Saying how that's going like,

he has to describe his kids now what this is and what this is. I just want to say, I grew up reading real comic books, right? And they were violent and like sexual and all with men and women. And it didn't turn me straight. So, MSA and life and art is something we should all be

used to. And honestly, most kids can teach you about the LGBT community. Hey, Trav, I'm glad you said that, because I do not understand. Well, first of all, I always say that, like, things like that can influence you. You know what I mean? When it comes to your sexuality, because you are what you are. If you like men, then you like men. If you like women, you like

women. But to your point, why they don't ever say that about gay people? Gay people don't get turned straight with all the straight imagery y'all see out here and straight representation y'all see out here. Especially the ones that grew up not seeing that on TV at all. Yeah. Great point, sir. Yeah, good point.

Alright, so I'm going to see you tomorrow, Envy. Alright, Jive. Now, guys, when he says he's going to see me tomorrow, he's talking about the car show. I know how you guys are. I'll be like, wow, Envy's trapped. Why do you even got to explain that? If you're secure in your manhood, you don't even got to explain that. You sound guilty to me.

Carcella, Atlantic City. He's coming out to the car show tomorrow in Atlantic City. You sound guilty to me. Guy, I think you need to start side-eyeing Trav and Envy's relationship because I don't know why he felt the need to explain that one just now. Trav's my brother, man. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.

Now, when we come back, we got some rumors for you. Charlamagne. Yes, sir. What'd I do? He says something that makes people upset. What the hell did I say? He says something that makes the internet go crazy. He says something that makes him trend. That's not true. We're going to talk about it next. So don't go anywhere. You know what you said. No, I don't. Well're going to talk about it next. So don't go anywhere.

You know what you said. No, I don't. Well, we'll talk about it next in the rumors. It's The Breakfast Club. Come on. The Breakfast Club. It's about time. What's going on?

Rumor report. Rumor report. This is the rumor report. Talk to him. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Now, yesterday, Charlamagne was trending all over social media. I had no idea. I missed all this. Because of this statement that he made on his Brilliant Idiots podcast.

Em gets watched in any verses, bro. Not any verses, bro. Any. Em don't have the songs like that. Em can rap, and we like Em as a rapper. Em's any verses. There are rappers that are worse than Em and Em. Like, like M as a rapper. Yeah, but not against any verses. There are rappers that are worse than Eminem. Like, against 6ix9ine.

Yeah, but they got better songs. Future washes Eminem in a verse. 6ix9ine beats Eminem in a verses. Depending on the generation. You are crazy. You are wild. Depending on the generation. You are wild.

M don't got nothing that slap like gummo to these kids yo young thug washes eminem in a versus i said what i said now no i'm lying you're saying that eminem multi uh platinum artist sells diamonds has multi uh records across all boards pop urban movies you name it you think he will he will get washed by 6ix9ine? Wait a minute. I did not say that. First of all, that episode of Brilliant Idiots is old. That was either late last year or early this year.

Why is this even a conversation now? Who's paying for this campaign to go viral? But let's discuss. Let's discuss. Number one, I was trolling my co-host Andrew Schultz, who is a white man who grew up loving Eminem. Why are y'all taking this conversation seriously? It's the Brilliant Idiots podcast, the home of absurd conversations that sound smart.

Just think about the context of the conversation. I said anybody could beat Eminem in the verses. That right there should let you know I'm just effing around. And then listen to what Schultz replied with 6ix9ine. Why would 6ix9ine and Eminem be doing the verses, Envy? I don't think they would. It's like clearly not a serious convo but

but there's a but I do think a lot of these kids to a lot of these kids a record like Gumbo means way more to them than anything in Em's catalog because they don't know Eminem's catalog

but it's not even a serious convo though why would 6ix9ine and Eminem be doing a versus? they wouldn't be doing a versus was yesterday a slow news day or something? it probably was but the fact that you said 6ix9ine would beat Eminem. I did not say that. That's what I heard.

I did not say that. That's what the world heard. That is not what I said. He asked me a question. I said, I don't know if Eminem has anything that these kids care about like they care about a record like Gummo. Now, when it comes to Young Thug and Future, since we're having a, this is a real conversation, I do believe based on which generation

is judging Future and Young Thug 20 for 20 song for song just song for song nothing else right now with this generation yeah they probably

will take him in the versus. But once again why the hell would Eminem be doing a versus against Future and Young Thug? That's not even a real matchup. I see what you're saying.

Yeah these kids they know Future they know Young Thug they might not know Eminem they might know very couple songs they might just know Lose Yourself i get what you're saying and the headline is just clickbait charlemagne never said six nine will beat eminem in the verses i did say that about thugging future though that was false narratives and by the way that's not taking anything from

eminem eminem is a whole legend grade a top tier lyricist but always keep in mind and uh my producer just reminded me eminem did say this he's right he's absolutely right he's absolutely right salute to Eminem though but yes I will find a way to hate on Eminem in some way shape or form if you call it if you call this absurd conversation that's pretty much satire hate but whatever now let's continue with the false narratives Kanye uh was first to come out was supposed to come out with his album July 23rd definitely a false narrative then uh he said august 6th definitely a false narrative all right and now it seems like it's going to be released august 15th cap as these young kids say cap now let's keep in mind july 23rd when his album was supposed to

come out he had a huge listening event didn't happen then to come out, he had a huge listening event. Didn't happen. Then August 6th, he had a huge listening session. It didn't happen. Now, we'll see if he has a listening session before August 15th. August 15th is when? This Sunday. August 22nd. Next week. Next week.

August 22nd. So let's see if he's going to have another listening session. He might as well just wait until Easter at this point. It's Christmas. It's about God, right? Yeah, put it out on one of God's days. Jesus. Put it out on Christmas or Easter. You know what I was's about God, right? Yeah, put it out on one of God's days. Jesus. Put it out on Christmas

or Easter. You know what I was wondering about yesterday, too? What's that? There's pre-orders for Kanye West's album. People still do pre-orders? I don't know why.

It's not like they gotta go pick it up or you just press the download button or the stream button and you can just listen to it. That's what I was thinking. I was like,

well, what do I be doing on Tidal when albums are dropped in? Am I buying albums? Like, I don't, I just be listening. Like, what am I doing? I don't know.

Somebody please school your uncle, because I have no idea what that, what does that mean, Dan? out like i don't i just be listening like what am i doing i don't know somebody please school your uncle charlotte because i have no idea what that what does that mean then dan love you don't know mike dan dan loves eminem it must be merch or something so when you do that like pre-order download as soon as the album drops it automatically downloads to your phone that's the only difference why can't you just download it to your phone if i got tight i got title it's gonna be on my phone regardless. 30 seconds. So, like, for Apple Music, like, when you download it to your phone, like, that means you don't need to use, like, data to listen to it. You can just use your Wi-Fi.

Oh, so if I don't have Wi-Fi, I can still listen to it. You can just listen to it. Once it's downloaded, you can just listen to it whenever. That's what happens when you turn 43, people. I have no idea. There you go. All right, now, lastly, Erykah Badu, she apologized to former President Barack Obama.

She said, please forgive me for being the terrible guest at such a sacred event for your family. I was so inconsiderate. Thank you for all your love. What an example of how not to be. What? She apologized. Remember, she posted the picture at the video at Barack Obama's 60th birthday party. Nobody was supposed to be using their phones and taking pictures. And the only pictures and video that we've seen were Erykah Badu's and her. So she apologized for taking that video. She says she's sorry. False narrative.

She says she was just overwhelmed. Erykah didn't take no video. It's all false narrative. This whole rumor report was sponsored by false narratives. Erykah didn't take no video. That wasn't even a real apology. Those were fake tweets. Oh my goodness.

All right. Well, that is your rumor report. When we come back, we got front page right. Well, that is your rumor report. When we come back, we got front page news. We'll give you some updates on COVID-19 and also a horrible shooting at the Shoe Palace. So keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Hey, it's Angela Yee. Don't let weak hair hold you back. Carol's Daughters Goddess Strength Collection supports hair as it gets longer for hair that's 15 times stronger after one use. Available at carolsdaughter.com and your local retailer. Alright, that

was Rumors. Lizzo, Cardi B should be joining us next hour. Morning everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, Angela Yee is out. So we'll give you some updates.

All right. Talking COVID-19. Now, San Francisco announces vaccine mandates for certain indoor activities. So residents age 12 and older will be now required to show proof that they've been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 in order to go to indoor restaurants, bars, gyms, and theaters, as well as large spaces that hold at least 1,000 people. So you got to be vaccinated to be outside. Yes. You're not just going to be outside without being vaccinated.

Now, New Orleans is requiring vaccines. Fix your tongue. Fix your mouth, sir. Watch your mouth. Negative COVID test or indoor. Let me do that over. New Orleans to require vaccines and negative COVID test for indoor venues. So if you want to go to bars, restaurants, music halls, other facilities, you either have to have the vaccine or you have to have a negative COVID test. Now, with some sad news, a parent sent their child to school, which is crazy.

They should be arrested for this after a positive COVID-19 test. So more than 80 students may have been exposed. So they know their child had COVID, still sent them to school, and now they put in jeopardy 80 other people, which is crazy. Those 80 other people could go home and give it to more people, and they could give it to more people, which is crazy. Yeah, I know it's easy to say that, you know what I'm saying? But sometimes, not sometimes, all the time, i like to look at things from other people's perspective

and i'm just speculating here what if this woman couldn't afford child care what if these parents couldn't afford child care what if they didn't have nobody else to watch the child what if they just are getting back to work you know i mean because they've been laid off because of covid so they gotta go to work you know what i mean but you can't send your child to school if your child has covid listen because it's not just a matter of other kids. I mean, those other kids bring it home and they could have elderly parents. They could have elderly grandparents that die. So that's nowhere near excuse.

I agree with you, but my point is sometimes we judge folks for what they're doing based off just survival. This family could just be trying to survive. I don't think they just sent their child to school just to be reckless. Does it matter? No, it doesn't matter. Clearly, there's something else going on. Yeah, it matters. No, it doesn't matter.

You could kill a whole school. Context always matters. A bunch of people, not in this situation. Not when COVID is killing people. Context absolutely matters in this situation. Hell no, not when COVID is killing people. I'm not saying that, you know, these parents are right or wrong. I'm just saying there's another side.

So many people dying from COVID. You play with somebody else's life where they don't have a choice. Man. Your kid comes to school and now your kid brings it home and your kid has grandparents and now your grandparents die because of,

oh, whatever happened in your life. You don't do that, bro. All of that is true. You don't do that. But two things can be true. What if these parents couldn't afford childcare?

That's all I'm saying. So you just kill a bunch of other people? No, I'm just saying that you don't shouldn't judge people based off what they're doing when they're just trying to survive and they're just trying to get by.

Not when it comes to somebody dying, man, and possibly killing a bunch of people. It's easy for you to say you're rich. It has nothing to do with money. It has to do with consideration. Sure. All right. Now, lastly, this is a sad story. A 16-year-old was arrested in a fatal shooting of a shoe palace employee in Los Angeles. Now, if you don't know much about sneakers, when these exclusive sneakers come out, they have these raffles and they only give out a certain pair. And a lot of times it might be only 100 pair, only a 50 pair.

So they give out these raffles and the 50 people that win the raffles get the ticket, I mean, get the sneaker. And I guess they got into an argument about the raffle. They were arguing and The guy that passed away seen one of his coworkers arguing, so he tried to intervene to calm things down, and he was shot and killed over a freaking raffle.

How sad is that? How sad is that? Over a raffle? Over a pair of sneakers? You're going to do the rest of your life in jail? The rest of your life in jail for some damn sneakers. For some damn sneakers? What kind of sneakers were there?

It doesn't matter, Nick. I know it don't matter, but I'm just asking. What kind of sneakers were there? I don't know. That's insane. I didn't know people still did that. I thought they just got all these sneakers offline. Mm-mm.

Hell yeah. I mean, because sneakers is such a big business. Like, you look at those Travis Scotts that just came out. I mean, those sneakers, brand new, are like $180, $220, but you could resell them for $4,000 or $5,000. And he killed the worker because he lost the raffle. Yeah, there was I guess a discrepancy with the raffle.

And he killed the worker, which is crazy. Alright. Send the healing energy to that family of the worker at the shoe store. Send the healing energy to him The family of the worker At the shoe store Definitely send the healing energy to him and his family Alright

but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yes, or wherever you get your podcasts. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. I don't know if we call him a young legend or just a legend. You know what I mean? He's a staple in this game. He's an old man with a young face.

He's an old man with a young face. Marlon Wayans is here. What's up, my brother? What's up, man? How you doing? Never not working. You know what? I would have been a damn good slave.

I swear to God. I'm like, I got all this cotton. Y'all chill. I got this. They would have gave me a raise. And then you came in here exhausted, like literally. Like you sat down and you was like. Then he perked up.

Bones hurt, man. I had shoulder surgery three weeks ago. I've just been, you know, because from doing stand-up so much, I got arthritis, bursitis, and tendonitis and a tear all in their shoulders.

So I was doing that stand-up, doing nine, ten shows a week and that wears it out. So I just got it reconstructed. I'm ready.

I'm back on that stage and I'm actually going to be in New York this weekend at the Gotham Comedy Club just working out. You might have to get

one of those mics that just attach on or something like that. Why? Oh, the Janet Jackson headset joint. Yeah, but I don't want both hands free. I like the microphone.

It's a prop. But what about your shoulder? It makes sense. It's a club. You can knock somebody over the head with it. It could be a dick. You can make it

whatever you want. A dildo, you know what I mean? A wand, a sword. So I like having the mic because that's the beauty of imagery. You have a mic, you have a light, you or a sword. So I like having a mic because that's the beauty of imagery. You have a mic, you have a light,

you have a stool. Give me some drunk people, I can make them laugh anywhere. You think stand-up is a lost art? No, I think it's the found art. I think it's the only place you're going to be safe

to say what the f*** you feel. Soon everybody is going to need a stage. You're going to need a stage. I don't trust that either. When they cancel it, you know, you say it on stage, you good. I don't think you good on they cancel you know you said on stage

you good I don't think you good on stage no more either I think you just got you just can't give a f*** on stage you think so yeah you good on stage

cause that's what they come to see you if people cancel you for a joke those people that cancel you ain't give a f*** about you in the first place people that love you

they come for the crazy s*** that you say they want you to say the s*** that everybody else is scared to say so you know I think it's a lost but a found art form.

I love stand-up. As much as I'm doing this drama stuff and I do my movies and my TV shows, stand-up, you know, that's my passion. That's my freedom every week and I just get to express and talk and find it, you know. And I've been doing this so long now.

I just got a special drop in HBO Max on HBO Max called You Know What It Is and then I already got a brand new 2-3 hours I'm f***ing with right now. Well let's talk about it because we did get an advanced screener so you know I had a chance to watch it and you did address your cheating scandal

Oh yeah that happened that happened you went right into making it hot ass you opened the water at the right time I can't have my envy water Oh, yeah, that happened. Yeah. That happened. You went right into making it hot. You opened the water at the right time. I can't have my Envy water. I can't have my Angela Yee juice. We all right in the kitchen. How about we start with a gay baby or something, you know?

Let's start with Addy Belly Buttons. Work our way into the end there. Yes, I did. Yeah, but I guess that's something that you kind of have to do, right? You don't have to. A lot of people step over. It's hard not to, though, because people think about it. And then it also is, like you've said, you can make anything funny.

Well, that's part of my healing process. So, you know, as much as it may be fun, I could make anything funny to me. Ask her how funny this s*** was. That's right. For real. But honestly, you know, I'm glad that God gave me a microphone, because I get to talk about my truth, and as long as you're talking about your truth,

you can't hurt or offend others, you know, the person that was in it with you, you know, we laugh about it. And just like, my best friend, my ride or die, I love that woman to death. Now, we don't have sex, but still, she got the card. She got the house.

Her house better than mine. I'd be jealous. And we never went to court to talk about those kind of things. That's my family. I love her for life. But, yeah, I f*** up. One thing that people have to think about, too, when something like that happens, what about the kids?

What do the kids have to say to you when you come home because they see everything online? You know, because the kids feel for mommy. You know, niggas, we make stupid excuses. First thing I said was, Ang, I know I was on a boat with another woman, but you get seasick. I would have had you there, but you don't like boats. But we didn't have no drama to me.

I swear I was making a good joke. You said a mermaid showed up. You said dumb shit, man. I was like, I said, this is true.

I said, the dumbest shit. I got caught. I said, I said, I know there's pictures with one girl, but there was like

seven others on the boat. You should have seen this shit that was happening down below. But it's not, it was funny to me. And I was able to make her laugh at the time, but I felt like s***, man. It's like, you know, there's no amount of sorries

you can say except for n***a, you are sorry. I'm a sorry-ass n***a. My bad. And that's something that you're going to regret for the rest of your life. You think your success took a shot at you because you're so famous that they're taking pictures of you on a boat? Nah. Actually, that was the first time I felt successful.

I was like, n***a, I don't need to be made. On a boat? Hey, n***a, look at my ass right there. That one ass. It wasn want a new remade. I want a broke game. Look at my app right there. That one app. It wasn't a fly picture either because they in the middle of the ocean.

And it wasn't like a cool picture with I had floaties. I didn't know how to swim that well. I had those little, you know those things they put on kids on?

I had floaties. I had one of them little boys that you kick on. And that's what happens when you're famous, when you fly places. I wasn't that famous. You just made $100 million. I'm just now getting famous.

My fame is just now starting. You done had a sitcom on network TV. You know, like, come on, bro. All this Netflix stuff. Come on, bro. But still, all that was like building up to this new shit. This is where my best years are ahead of me. I always say first 30 was learning. And now these next 30 is executing.

I still got a young face. Do you still have Google Alerts for yourself? Yeah, I got Google Alerts. I say dumb shit all the time. So if they're going to cancel me, I want to know when they're going to cancel me. You can't get canceled if you don't know what's going on. I don't want to know what's going on. You don't want to know?

I don't have it either. Yes, I do. That's the worst. You wake up like, what you mean I'm canceled? You get 150. It ain't your birthday. You got 150 messages. That's right.

That's how you know something happened when you wake up in the morning. I need to know. I need to know. I want to know. I had to know. I want to know. I had to call my brothers and say, it's Keenan Shaw. Can y'all do a press conference for me, somebody? Does Keenan even know what that is? No, Keenan and Damon and them don't even deal with Twitter and shit.

They don't deal with it. Keenan tell you they tried to cancel. They can't cancel me. I already canceled myself. F*** them. I don't need to be on their networks. Keenan, funny, my brothers don't subscribe. That's why they don't tweet.

They don't Instagram. They don't do all that because they're just like, why put yourself out there to be a target? I don't get paid to post pictures. I get paid to do movies. That's true. So if I'm going to get canceled, let it be on a stage. At least I'm getting paid to do the show.

That's my last check. Make it a good one. All right. We got more with Marlon Wayans when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Marlon Wayans. Yee. Did you take anything out of this special? Because there were some edgy things on there where even I was like. This is one joke that I really love that I took out. I didn't want to, but HBO Max was like, listen.

They were like. What was it about? Just that one. Okay. You want to stand up to do it? Are you good? No, no. I don't want to do it.

Okay, so. You can't get cancer if you're standing up now. You can't get cancer if you're sitting down. The views by Marlon are not the views of the breakfast club. Now go ahead. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's up. Angie's juice inspired this joke.

And Indy's water. And Charlamagne's book. Actually, I got it out of Charlamagne's third book. All right, so it was, it was, because I talk about my daughter, and I talk about her being gay, and how acceptance, right? And how love is acceptance.

And, you know, at the end of the day, the message is always about love and acceptance. That's my child. And I try to speak to fathers out there who are, you know, especially old school point of views, like, yo, I'm not accepting my kids in that life. And it's like, at the end of the day, it's still your kid.

And I talked about how I went to Performing Arts High School. And to this day, I still have gay friends. And I still, you know, hang out with my gay friends. And that's why I consulted it when it was time for me to figure out what to do with my daughter. I sat my gay friends and when you know and that's why i consulted it when it was time for me to find figure out like what to do with my daughter i sat my gay friend down and i asked him you know what do you do and um he goes well and he'd made this noise with his mouth i was like and i was like hey

you just pull off an imaginary dance to my question because he made that noise that i can't make it and then the audience laughs. And I said, that's not the worst thing I said to him. I said, listen, gay people have a great sense of humor. I actually said something darker to him, but I'm not going to tell people what it was because I felt like n****s would get upset. And then the audience egged me on. It was like, tell us, tell us, tell us.

All right, and I said, all right. And y'all n****sall ain't gonna judge me. No. Maybe. You're a comedian. You sitting there like this. You a comedian. All right, so then I said, I said.

Uh-oh, he thinking that. No, because I said, I said, hey, I forgot. It's so funny, it's so funny watching your publicists out there. They like, oh, my God. They're looking in here like, no, don't do it. And I said, he goes, my gay friend was like, I was born this way. And then I said, I said, oh, shit. I said, really?

I said, but then I said, well, who? So what? And then. Hush, little baby. Oh, my God. Like the baby. That's how the reference. It's a joke. like the baby and the audience like laughed they lost it and i got a big huge round of applause just because i said that because they didn't think i was gonna go there and they were like and it was like yo

that is dope and they laughed it was one of my favorite. And they was like, yo, that shit is dope. And they laughed. It was one of my favorite jokes. But I was just like, I don't know how mothers over the age of white mothers over 47 would enjoy that. And for my white female audience over 47, I chose to take that joke out. I can see the think pieces. Marlon Wayans. They're not funny. There's nothing funny about that. Marlon Wayans, they're not funny. There's nothing funny about that,

Marlon Wayans. Here's the wild part. I didn't just do the Hush Little Baby. I did the whole f***ing lullabot. You did the whole song? The whole f***ing lullabot. And it just gets more

and more uncomfortable and funnier and f***ing funnier. Marlon Way. F***ing f***ing f***ing f***ing. It's funny. I can see the thick pieces right now. But here's the thing. Ready? There's funny in every f***ing thing.

I don't care what topic it is. There's funny in everything. Now, it may take you time to find it. But it's funny in everything. Now, it may take you time to find it, but it's funny in everything. You can't tell somebody how to feel about what they went through. That's their therapy is going, oh, you know what's funny about this? And that's the beauty of comedy is no matter what we decide to talk about, as long as you're talking about your truth, as long as you're talking about a perspective that isn't you're trying to bash, but you're trying to

enlighten, I think you can talk about anything. Every time I tell the story about how I got molested at eight by my cousin's ex-wife and I always say, you know, I made her stop because she had a jerry curl and I didn't like the smell of her jerry curl. You see what I'm saying? I've been telling it every time. That's the same reaction every single time.

But look at her. She's like... You're not perceiving it so judgmental. I've heard it too many times already. But it's funny every time I hear it. Every time. But it's a true story. I would be the same way. I'm not trying to go down this rabbit hole without a one of you. The way a jerry curl smells is like...

That's how I felt when I was eight. I was like, I don't like the smell of a jerry curl. It's icky. It's on my hands. It's everywhere. Your mom could tell who it was. It was your auntie. Why? Because look at your lap. All that glycerin's on your lap.

That's what that is. I know it was Aunt Larita. Now, you know who's going to cancel you after this special? People with Audi belly buttons. Oh, I canceled them years ago. You're on f***ing Audis, Marlon? You got to see this special. I grew up, where'd you grow up, South Carolina?

Monk's Corner, South Carolina. Where'd you grow up? See, okay, so you know what the f*** I'm talking about. Yes. It's the Audi belly button kids. They're just badass f***ing kids. It was always the n***a with the Audi belly button that was the bully in the hood. And they never went to have their shirt on either.

They never had their shirt on. They always had, and they were buff at f***ing four years old. And so I talk about outie belly button people and how they're terrible human beings. So outie belly button people, please watch this. It's no offense to you.

It's no offense to your belly button and how you were raised. The funny part is, somebody can write a think piece about that too. Marlon Wayans thinks people with Audi belly buttons are the devil. Like, what?

Can you fix that if you have an Audi? Black people try. They put a quarter. You ever seen somebody with a quarter taped to the belly button? Or a nickel? Brothers try to fix it. Just sleep the on his stomach.

He'll be all right. I don't know where the f*** it comes from but it always scared me and so in my special I talk about my fears and that's one of them listen what I like about the special is it starts weird just off the cuff starts weird and then it just keeps going and then it gets like okay

after the first 8 minutes you enter the special and you realize that oh, I'm on a journey And you know I get to talk about my life my truth. You know my fuck ups and and and and poke fun at it It was crazy. I'm just I'm just realizing I don't think you've been here in two years. August, maybe 2019. You ain't been here in two years. We're in a pandemic. You wasn't here either. What's up? Chase sat at home and was like, I'm going to make Angela Yee juice. That's damn right.

And Envy was like, I'm making Envy water. This tastes just like water. I want to... I don't know what it is. They're going to be pissing in the bottle for a while. That's a little old baby. That's a little old baby. A little baby. All right, we got more with Marlon Wayans when we come back.

Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Marlon Wayans. Yee.

You see now, Robin has come out as bisexual. And I see a lot of people weighing in on that. When did that happen? It just came. That just happened. Yesterday. As soon as they put my character on, I don't know what the f*** I be by.

Bitch. Why they put this on the brother? Why Robin the Kid is now Black Robin. I didn't know that. I feel like, you know, with the way the world is, at this point, everybody needs some representation. Everybody should have some type of hero. And who cares?

Like, I mean, I think it's dope that, you know, it progresses and that he goes the way he wants. If that's what he wants to be, that's what I'm... Look, my daughter needs a superhero. So, hey, congrats, Gay Robin. My daughter would love that. She'd be like, yes, Robin, yes. So, for everybody, that was beautiful.

Yet another reason why In Living Color should get more credit. Because everybody was represented on In Living Color. Everybody. It was a diverse cast. And every character y'all portrayed was... I In Living Color. Everybody. It was a diverse cast and every character y'all portrayed was, I mean, handicapped people, gay people. They say that In Living Color

couldn't exist today. I disagree. I don't think the world would be as sensitive if In Living Color did exist. If we did, people go, you can't do a White Chicks 2. Sure we could. think white six two would actually be better given this climate than even than it was it would be more successful than it was because people are looking for people to just say it everybody's so scared to just say

i'm gonna say it and it's oh i've always said it but i always say with kids gloves because our intention is never to dismantle or hurt people. Our intention is to bring people together with a laugh. That's what I love about my shows. When I do stand up, I have a point of view over here and somebody else has a point of view over there. But if I get them all to laugh, then we're agreeing about something. I would argue that if we laugh with each other and at each other, we all normalize each other, regardless of what it is. Growing up, that's all we did was snap on each other.

Black people, white people, Puerto Rican people, Dominicans and Puerto Ricans would go at it. And that's what we did. Who's to say you can't say this? Sometimes you make your best friends by talking shit about people. Some shit we got cool talking shit about each other. That was a good one. Hey, it was motivation. When Marlon told me I peaked at life, I said, I really got to do about each other. That was a good one. It was motivation.

When Marlon told me I peaked at life, I said, I really got to do more of myself. He told me I peaked at life. I was like, shit, have I? I peaked at life. Did I say that? I don't know. I was trying to get nuclear.

I went nuclear. I was just like, ah, yeah. All your best days are behind you. All right? I was like, I'm going to write a book. F*** this. I'm going to do nine podcasts. I'll show that s*** tomorrow.

Who picked that light, mother f***er? And I'm living at home with my mom right now because I just got fired from Whitney and s***. Like, what the f***? Wow. I didn't know the Whitney and shit. Like, what the fuck? Wow. I didn't know the effect of that. Like, wow. Because you feel like, I might as well go for it. Wow. He was a shit

talker back in the day. He was an ass. Like, for no reason. It was just like, why are you like this? Trauma. Really? Yeah, hell yeah. I was a hurt person. Plus, I was a little mad at you because you and Wendy have f***ed with my sister. And my sister, Kim, is the sweetest, sweetest, most intelligent, the diagram of what a great black woman should be. And they went at my sister.

Why would you do that? I don't know. I apologize, though. I thought I went at Sean. No, you went at Kim, and that's why Sean got mad. You went at Sean afterward. And Sean's like, that's my sister. Sean, we New York niggas.

That felt like, alright, Kim, I'm gonna f*** this nigga up. You get Wendy. That... I'm going to f*** this n***a up. You get Wendy. That. Yeah, but so that when we had the Twitter beef, that's when I was like, I'm fine. Well, send Kim our love. I sincerely apologize. I was a different person back then. Oh, that's sweet.

Thank you, man. I appreciate it. Absolutely. Absolutely. I'm a black woman and deserve that. Now, I know we're also here to talk about respect. We have to discuss that. Aretha Franklin. Yes, because the Aretha Franklin biopic, first and foremost, Jennifer Hudson is amazing in this movie.

When you see this woman's work, I couldn't believe that I was watching this woman do this. And it wasn't like she was trying. She had no fear. She would come to work. She's singing Aretha Franklin take after take after take live. Wow. Never asked for hot water and lemon. I was like

honey God is in her abdomen. Like she was so damn good and she's like I felt like when I was going to to work I was like I'm going to watch Jennifer Hudson win three Oscars. And you played her abusive... Abusive husband, Ted White.

Which was different for me because I'd never seen my dad strike my mom. I didn't grow up in a household like that. Wayne's household was not like that. That's why me and my brothers were respectful men. We'll walk away before it get crazy. You can light my house on fire. I'm still not going to hit you. Nothing you can do to make me

come out of my character. So I really had still not going to hit you. Nothing you can do to make me come out of my character. So I really had to dig deep to find that. And I thought what would make a man hit a woman. And I thought a damaged man would hit a woman because he's trying to damage her. Because damaged people damage people. And a damaged man is really a hurt little boy. And so the insecurity and the jealousy, him trying to control her,

sparked the abuse. But I wanted it to come from a place of love because when a man meets a woman, he loves her. He wants to rescue her. He's coming as the knight in shining armor and that was his intention. But he failed her because he just was

nothing but a hurt little boy. And to me, I wanted to do that because I wanted to represent for wanted to do that because i wanted to represent for all the women that are in abusive relationships and people go why don't you just leave him girl it ain't that easy when you fall in love and that's the beauty of these movies you see us fall in love and then you invest in the love and so it's not that easy to leave somebody because you're trying to rescue people from each other's damage. How'd you prepare

for the role though? Because you keep talking about the hurt little boy. Did you have to tap into some trauma you experienced as a child? I mean, I've seen you grow up in the projects. You see people get their ass whooped all the time. So I thought about past relationships that

I knew girlfriends of mine that have been in abusive relationships or you know family members who have been in abusive relationships so i kind of tapped into that and then i read iceberg slim's book pimp and pimp is the thing that made me realize that all monsters aren't monsters. They're really damaged. That's it. Little boys and iceberg slim in his book. Pimp. He's he was became a pimp because he was mad at his mother because his mother left his stepfather, who was the only man in his life that he loved.

And she fucked around with another dude. And she left that man was really good to him for another dude And he was like bitch. I hate you. I'm slapping bitches for life, and that's what he did I think they're saying you gotta go. Oh I'm careful being that I do want to ask you about this because I thought this was good speaking of motivation say Chris Rock heckled you do her during a performance For 20 years. That must have been a bad heckling. Really?

I don't... What? I was like, Chris? Because I didn't know it was him. You know, I was 18, 17, I'm doing stand-up, and I hear, and I'm like, you know, you're trying to find it, and you're like, what else? How about some f***ing jokes? I was like, so what else is funny? I don't know, n***a. How about you tell us, what else? How about some f***ing jokes? I was like, so what else is funny?

I don't know, n***a. How about you tell us what's funny? What? And he heckled me. F***ing time. But understand, in the comedy game, it's a fraternity. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But let's get to the rumors. Let's talk COVID and your favorite celebrities. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Now, shout out to DJ Khaled. Now if you follow Khaled you realize Khaled hasn't posted anything in like a month and that's weird for Khaled because Khaled usually posts three four times a day but yesterday he finally made a post. He said fan love all our friends and family thank you for your calls and prayers. My family and I have recovered from covid and we're all good now god is the greatest god loves us and we love god thank you everyone we the best

Now, Drake, it seems like... You're telling me Drake got COVID too? What is this, a celebrity COVID roll call? What the hell?

No, we're switching gears now. Hold up, y'all. Who's on the line? We want to talk. Who got the COVID-19? Is that what you're doing right now? You came up with that pretty fast. That's pretty good.

That was pretty good. Thank you, sir. Now, Drake, it looks like Drake purchased a chain for somebody, not his new artist, but maybe his new stepson. I don't know. Drake ices out. Our name is Johanna. You sound crazy. Amari Bailey.

He laced him with a tin necklace with an owl on it. You know, Drake is allegedly dating the young man's mom and he purchased him a necklace. What's wrong with that nothing oh i like i like drake's guy what what do you like about it i mean listen man it ain't tricking if you got it you know what i'm saying and it ain't tricking if she's worth it you know so what's wrong with that buying i'm not mad at that at all you're dating if you're dating the mom you buy the little son of chain man what's wrong with that i don't know that's that it's not a little bit not a little yeah that's what you're hating a mom, you buy the little son a chain. What's wrong with that? It's not a little chain. That's what you're hating.

You buy the little son a little chain. It's a grown-ass man with a ball. That's a huge chain. Yeah, man. I said little. I didn't say that. You got a little hate in your blood, man. That is gracious.

Nothing wrong with that, okay? If I was still out there in them streets, I'd be a trick, too. Drop on the clues, Bonson Drake. I ain't mad at Drake. Listen, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. You should do that. It ain't tricking if she's worth it. Keep the kids happy.

Keep mama happy. And everybody else. That's right. And what is that little drop in the bucket to Drake? Come on, man. To make that kid's day. Because when you make the kid's day, the kid's super happy. Now, you know, the mom's even happier.

The kid talking about how much they love you and yada, yada, yada. Around the mom, the mom's like, yeah, he's a great guy. It just makes your whole situation better. Now, one of the things that really made me laugh yesterday, it made me chuckle. I might have even snorted once or twice. I might have even passed gas a little bit when I laughed. Kevin Hart. Loose boot head.

Kevin Hart had an awkward exchange with Don Cheadle. Man, it was so funny. It wasn't awkward at all, to be honest with you. Now, this was off his talk show, Heart to Heart on Peacock. Can we play the audio, please? You know, I'm 56 years old. Damn! I'm sorry.

It was a thought. No, no, seriously. It was a thought. It was a thought, and I blurted it out. I'm fine. I did not mean it that way. I'm fine. Okay, but just understand I didn't mean it the way it came out.

We'll take a poll on how you meant it with people here later after the show's over. I can sit up here and honestly say, buddy, that that was from a place of love. Got it. Like, damn. If we could play it back right now. Play it back? These are two different dams. Play it back in slow motion.

There wasn't no. I said. I said. There was no like... I said... No, you said the word dam. See, the video is way better than the audio. Did they actually put up the poll?

Because I would like to know what people thought. Because see, as a fellow cancer, I totally understand. We be trying not to say the first thing that comes to our mind, but sometimes we can't control it. And then we immediately feel bad afterwards and just want to apologize. Kevin meant no harm. Cancers mean no harm. We mean no harm.

Well, when he said, damn, and Cheeto looked at him like, my G. He was like, oh, sorry. I didn't mean it like that. That was funny. I watched it at least a hundred times. I definitely watched it a hundred times, but that damn could mean a million different things, though. Like, damn, you look good for your age. Damn, you 56? Damn, you old. It's a multitude of things it could mean. It Like, damn, you look good for your age. Damn, you 56? Damn, you old.

It's a multitude of things that can mean. It was, damn, you old. But can we just play the first part of it? Let's play the first part of it one more time. You know, I'm 56 years old. Damn. I'm sorry. That's it. That's all I needed. That's all I needed. I get it, man. The cancer, I totally understand. Happens to me all the time.

All right. Now, Taraji P. Henson was also on his talk show, Heart to Heart, and they talk about hush puppies. I just found out that hush puppies were actually used by runaway slaves to keep the dogs off of them. Hush puppies. And we've normalized it. See, these are things that we've normalized. So imagine all the other things we've normalized. Trying to be strong, push through.

The strength is in vulnerability. The strength is in saying, I'm not okay today. That's the strength. The danger is trying to push through. The danger is continuing to cope with all of this compounded trauma. Listen, man, salutes to Taraji and Tracy Jade. All the great work they're doing with the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation to help eradicate the stigma around mental health.

Dropping the clues bombs for my folks, okay? It's okay to not be okay. I got therapy today, damn it. I didn't know that. That was where the term hush puppies came from. I had no clue. You learn something new every day.

I didn't know that one. I had no clue. So how did the shoe brand just go make hush puppies like that when it came from that? I don't know. Did you know that? No, I did not know that. I didn't know that one. I had no clue. So how did the shoe brand just going to make hush puppies like that when it came from that? I don't know. Did you know that? No, I did not know that. I did not know that.

Okay. But she's right, though. You know what I'm saying? When you keep suppressing all that trauma, you know what I mean? I tell people all the time, deal with your trauma or your trauma eventually is going to deal with you. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. Now, who are you giving that donkey to?

Oh, my God. This is amazing. Dasha Kelly needs to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with her. I am not judging this young lady, but I am just giving any future scammers some tips on how to scam properly moving forward. We shall discuss for after the hour. We'll get to that next. Keep it locked.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same. Hey, what up, y'all? It's DJ Envy, and our friends at Samsung have something big brewing over there, and I think it has to do with the new Samsung Galaxy. They keep saying,

are you ready for this life? Not sure what it means, but come August 11th, we're all gonna find out. Learn more at samsung.com slash reserve. Don't be out here acting like a donkey. Hee-haw, bitch. Hee-haw.

It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a big boy. I can take it. If you feel I deserve it, ain't no big deal. I know Charlamagne Tha God gonna have some funny shit to say out his mouth. If I say something you may not agree with, it doesn't mean I'm mean. Who's getting that donkey? That donkey.

That donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey. Donkey of the Day right there. It's a breakfast club, bitches. You can call me the Donkey of the Day, but, like don't, don't. Donkey of the day right there. The Breakfast Club, bitches. You can call me the donkey of the day, but, like, I mean no harm. Donkey of the day for Friday, August 13th, goes to a young woman named Dasha Kelly.

She is 32 years old from Las Vegas, and she is the unanimous scammer of the summer, and it's not even close, okay? That's saying a lot in the era of PPP loans, fake vaccination cards and Kanye West release dates. OK, there's a lot of scams going on at once in these streets and it's hard to keep up. But this one, this one is great. Oh, my God. Brooklyn would be proud. Now, Dasha Kelly was on CNN saying she was a mother of three and that she was facing eviction because of the federal eviction moratorium, okay? Somebody at CNN found her online fundraiser seeking $1,900, $1,900 to pay back rent. And so she decided to bring her and her three kids,

and I put kids in the air quotes, on to discuss. No need for me to explain what happened. CNN can explain themselves. Listen. CNN found Daisha Kelly through her post on GoFundMe seeking $2,000 to pay back rent to avoid eviction for her and, quote, her three daughters. She did not reach out to us. Now, we interviewed Kelly at her home.

The girls all called her mom, appeared to be very much at home, and there was nothing we could see to raise any suspicion. But later last week, a woman named Shadia Hilo came forward and said she was the mother of those three girls, and they live with her. Now we know that Daisha Kelly is dating the girl's father. She spends significant periods of time caring for the girls at her apartment. When we followed up with Kelly over the weekend, she clarified that she is not the mother of the three girls. She said she originally described herself to CNN as a mother

because she considers herself to be like a mother to those girls. I get it. Scammer Anderson, I'm not even mad at her from this game. Okay, she went on CNN and told them those churn was hers and they wasn't. All right, I'm sitting here thinking to myself, damn, back in my day, I knew I know folks who carried other people churn on their taxes. It happens. OK. Another reason scam Greer Dasha Kelly is getting donkey is because why wouldn't you break bread with those churn biological mama? You can't just take other people churn on TV and not let their biological mother not know what's going on. All right. Maybe I didn't catch what CNN reporter Nick Watts said. Kelly is not the biological mother. She's dating the biological mother's baby daddy.

OK, y'all three can't connect and have a conversation on what you're about to do. You get invited on CNN. You let those two know. I'm sure the baby daddy knew. And if you and the woman don't communicate let the baby daddy tell her okay but just let them know like look whatever happens we gonna bust this go fund me down three ways y'all could have been the big three kg pitts allen braun d wade bosh steph draymond clay y'all could have got a chip imagine being somebody mama watching cnn or even worse getting phone calls that your baby daddy girlfriend claiming your turn on national TV. Of course, you're going to be upset. So she blew up the spot.

But that's scam Oliver. OK, that's scam Oliver Dasha Kelly's fault for not planning this one all the way to the end. Now, they've raised well over 200,000. I think it's like 200 and 212,000 to be exact. They could have gotten even more if they would have just stuck together. OK, write a script and stick to it. I'm telling you, we have to learn unity and group operation even when it comes to pulling a scam. Yo, L. Jackson, now what's going to happen to the money? Let's go back to CNN for the report, please. As of today, that GoFundMe account had, I think it was over $230,000

in donations. We contacted GoFundMe. They investigated. They put all the funds on hold. And this afternoon, they told us GoFundMe has proactively notified all donors with directions on how to request a full refund. Now, after two weeks, they will release any money left minus those refunds to Kelly and any money she gets, they say, will be used to cover living expenses, bills and a dedicated amount will be put into an account for each child. Now, if you donated, would you take your money back? Yes. I don't know. I don't even know why I'm asking you. I shouldn't even ask you. Never mind.

This is just piss poor planning. All right? This team needed a better point guard. They needed a better floor general to call these plays because they could have been watching a whole lot of money stack up and they could have been busting down a whole lot of money. All right? Look, I don't judge people for what they do when they are in survival mode.

All right? That federal eviction moratorium put a lot of people in a bad place. So folks are doing what they got to do to survive. So I get it. But if you're going to do it, think it all the way through. It's not like what Dasha did is a crime. It's just a lie. And it's a lie she could have gotten away with if her and the baby mother and the baby daddy had just worked together.

Please give Dasha Kelly the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day. Yee-haw. Now, I don't know if I would take my money back because I like her plan. of the day. Yee-haw. Yee-haw. Now, I don't know if I would take my money back because I like her plan. I like the fact that she says she's going to take the money,

pay her back rent, the $1,900, right? Whatever the expenses are. And then she's putting the rest of the money up for the kids. I don't mind that. If that's indeed what she's going to do. If she's going to really do that, right. Okay. All right.

Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, up next, Lizzo will be joining us. That's right. You've been hearing us play her new song, Rumors All Morning, featuring Cardi B. That's right. She'll be checking in to talk to us about it. All right. So we'll get to that next.

As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself, and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.

This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. I wish she was in studio, but Zoom will have to do. And she is 100% that yep period angela said that not me okay you don't sound like me okay that's woman privilege i don't say things like that okay but she's got a new single out rumors featuring cardi b lizzo what's happening what's happening i'm so excited to be here i wish i could be there in person

But we gotta stay safe right now y'all I'm back in the house This is my house right here These are my Grammys Oh look at the Grammys Look at them Grammys Okay Okay awards

We see you But look at that hair You ain't doing too much social distancing Cause you didn't do that yourself Nah you know the Beyonce Baby hair Shelby Swain did this You see it say rumors

I love it That's so dope I didn't even notice that Yeah Nah, you know the Beyonce, Baby Hair, Shelby Swain did this. You see it say rumors. I love it. That's so dope. I didn't even notice that. Yeah. You know, I'm a big Lizzo fan, and I'm like, when is she putting out some new music? So I was excited for the announcement.

Yay, me too. This is a long time in the making for me. But you know, I don't like to rush nothing. You know what I mean? I don't force nothing. I took my time with it, and I made the best music I possibly could before I came back. And it's perfect because you addressed all the rumors, because first of all, we hear you're pregnant by Chris Evans. So congratulations, girl. And you having Captain America's baby.

I'm having a little miracle. I wish I could have added that to the song. That rumor just kind of started. I should have added that. I'm going to do rumors part two. You know, I do want to ask, you know, how have you been? Like, you know, how have you been maintaining your mental and emotional well-being during this crazy-ass time? I've been okay. Like, I'll tell you what, I was anxious for a long time. Anxious because the world was stressing me out, but also anxious because when we went into lockdown, I have been used to consistently working since 2012, consistently touring, doing press in the studio, whatever. And to do nothing was like, what am I doing? Like, why am I here?

And I had to realize I had to turn all of this external anxiety and energy inward on myself. And I really had time to face a lot of things like becoming famous in the last two years. You know, I'm grown. So I had to like I was used to my life before all of this. So I needed to really settle into being famous, who I am and what I've accomplished. You know, we don't even have time to celebrate our accomplishments. I'm like, bitch, you got Grammys. You know what I'm saying? You have BET awards.

You have awards. Like, you've done it. You know, sit back and enjoy that. And I have been. I would think that, you know, in the Bible, it says, you know, be still and know that I am God. I would think that that's what happened for you. Like, you know, like you said, you've been working since 2012.

But did you ever sit down and realize, damn, lizzo now i'm not you know i'm not the same person i was i haven't had time but it's interesting you say that because the morning of the grammys all i just i listened to gospel music i listened to fred hammond and i just was i relished in gratefulness you know i laid down on my little love second i just wept and i just was I relished in gratefulness you know I laid down on my little love second I just wept and I just was praising God that's one of the few times I get moments of stillness though it's just been go go go go go right sometimes being famous is not that easy people might think oh is you know she's got money she's got this she's got that but you've definitely had your trials and tribulations so how has that been for you?

Man, money don't buy everything. And fame ain't everybody's end goal. It wasn't mine. You know, I wanted to be successful. My definition of success. I had already reached like I was taking care of my family. I was touring. I was grossing a million dollars on my tour on my own. I was like, I'm making great music. I did that. This fame is a part of what my purpose is because my purpose I always feel like is to make music that touches the world and helps people. And I'm like, you can't not be famous and do that.

So yeah. What was your question? I was going to say, you know, that's interesting because people always try to say, oh, well, people know what comes with it. But I also feel like on the flip side, sometimes you just have a talent that you want to share with the world and you're not doing it to be like on Instagram and on Twitter. And unfortunately now, sometimes that does, you know, it's a good thing and it's a bad thing. But it's not like you're being an artist just to be like on social media and have people comment on you because they feel like just because

you're an artist people could just say or do anything yeah i mean i'm definitely part of this new generation though that you know is social media heavy like you have to be on your social media because the fans it's like there's no middleman anymore it's just us and the fans and the fans are really dictating and moving the industry so social media is a huge part and i i love it you know what i'm saying i'll be with people on social media like tiktok is i'm on tiktok all the time just with people like i use it to my advantage i feel like you know i don't need social media social media need me you know what i'm saying do you think you can be too too too inside it though and what i mean by that is sometimes i hear you address rumors

that i haven't even heard like when you talked about the the stage diving thing i never had heard that nowhere you know what's crazy i would get little tiny comments i would get maybe three or four comments like every so often i'd be like apologize for what you did i'm like what do y'all talk about it was like did you hear he was a fan and you killed him i'm like i don't know what you guys are talking about and it was this little tiny like micro aggressive annoying thing that i dealt with and you know leading up to rumors i just decided to to own it you know i took it i'm taking it back you know i'm saying i'm reclaiming it for me it was just funny to kind of air something like that

out because it was so absurd. It was hilarious. Yeah. You know, I tell everybody, man, you know, I read this quote the other day. That was great. And it was I used to want to protect my name in situations. Now I just want to protect my peace. I let whoever think whatever. So you got to get to that point, Lizzo.

That's deep. Yeah. But also, it's like I'm using it constructively. Like, I could have been clapping back at people on the Internet for the last two years, but I chose to put it in a hit song and make some money. That's right. And I love it. And I saw the picture with Cardi. First of all, how was it working with Cardi?

Was the person that you were like, okay, my next single, I need Cardi on here. Tell me how this all happened. I've been wanting to work with Cardi since the day she signed to Atlantic Records. When the ink dried on that contract, I said, please put me on a song with her. I thought she was so funny. I thought she was a superstar. And I really, you know, like I said, I don't rush nothing. She don't rush nothing.

We just waited for the right time, the right moment, the right song. And after I wrote Rumors, I wrote Rumors back in February. And after that, I was like, hmm. Like, I write the song first, and then I let the song ask for a feature. Sometimes the songs don't ask for features. Because I like to complete a song so it's good on its own. And Rumors was good, but it was like, I need Cardi B. I need Cardi.

And it made it great. I sent her the record, and it was like, I need Cardi B. I need Cardi. And it made it great. I sent her the record, and she was like, I love it. I love the record. And, you know, due to COVID, we couldn't physically be together, so we did it over FaceTime. And, you know, she get all kinds of rumors about her. You know what I'm saying? All kinds of misconceptions in the media.

And she always clapped back. So I i said let me put the clap back queen on a record with me can you introduce a new song then rumors featuring cardi b you go for it because we're actually well premiering it all morning here on iheart so this is a world premiere from your girl lizzo lizzo i thought she was on hiatus. I thought she wouldn't come back. Bitch, I'm back, back, and I ain't going nowhere. We're with a brand new banger called Rumors featuring Cardi B. Oh, let's go. They don't hate us, do what they do. All the rumors are true.

That was Rumors, Lizzo featuring Cardi B. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We still have Lizzo in the building. Charlamagne? I wonder if having all these rumors and lies said about you has changed your perspective of celebrity.

Because we all have different perspectives of celebrity when we're on the outside. And you get in a little bit, and it might change what you believe about other people. Did that happen to you oh absolutely absolutely i feel like the funniest thing to me be like these illuminati that's right things that people say i'm like y'all if y'all only knew ain't no damn illuminati in this level of the industry like ain't nobody doing nothing crazy like that that i know of i'll just be chilling at home taking bubble baths and then going back on the road like did you believe that prior before

becoming a celebrity listen i around 2012 i was a conspiracy theorist i was a conspiracy theorist i'm not gonna lie like i got super deep into aliens and all sorts of so yeah that was one of the things i was like what's going on out there i wondered you know it's easy to believe when you're not a part of it but now that you in and it's like man ain't nobody doing nothing crazy i don't know your your hair your hair look like it's throwing up some devil signs or something lizzo i think they're gonna twist this on the internet yo once i wore like this christian cohen dress to like a iHeart, you know, performance. I had like a jingle ball or something.

And it was white and black checkers. And they were like, oh, she's in the Illuminati now. She's got white and black checkers. I said, I just like the dress. That's when you made it, though, when you were in the Illuminati. Because they don't just let anybody in. Listen, okay, let me dust my shoulders off then. Now, Cardi B also, here's another rumor.

Whispered that she wants to eat your p***y. Now, how did you answer that? Let me tell you something. This is the funniest person. Like, we were sitting there. She was like, okay. Now, whispering to Lizzo's ear. And it was the first time we had to do that.

Because we'd just been kind of chatting. And she was like, I want to eat your p***y. When I say i died laughing this girl is so funny to me after that the director split us up she was like okay y'all she said y'all can't stand next to each other no more we're gonna have to do this in post well how do you know she was joking i mean why are you you assuming that was a joke? To be honest with you, I can't tell if she was joking or not. Because, you know, she always talking about big girl. She always talking about it.

She say that went like a big bitch. Listen, you think I've been keeping track records of this? Like she talks about it. She said, you know how big girls have like, f*** their vagina? She talks about fat girl f*** all the time and she got that tongue, so who knows? Maybe the rumors are true. Rumors part two.

So you just laughed. You so crazy, girl. You so crazy. I know, I was like, it got a little milky down there. Now, how many other songs have you written since Rumors was written back in february sorry i can't skip a little milky wow the wop remix wow so what other songs have you written since February,

since, you know, during this whole lockdown? I've written like 140 songs. Damn. Yeah, because I write a lot and I finish songs. Like, I'll be in the studio and I have a two-a-day mentality. People think that I'm crazy, but when we get in there, even if it's my first day with a producer and writers, I'm like, we got to get two songs. Like, I don't know why, but it's like that helps me balance my vibe. So if you think about it like that, I was writing songs over the summer when we were on lockdown.

I had a little home studio set up because I was like, I got to make this music. So I was writing songs there. And then I've been working since 2019, like the summer of 2019. So I got a lot of songs. I write songs about everything though, y'all. So I write songs about my favorite sandwich. I wrote a song about hair.

What's your favorite sandwich? A wig. My favorite sandwich. I like BLTs. So I'm a vegan now. Okay. So I used to love BLTs. So now I do, you know, vegan BLTs. So I'm a vegan now. Okay. So I used to love BLTs.

So now I do, you know, vegan BLTs with some avocado. So is that a black? What is a vegan BLT? With vegan bacon. Oh, they got vegan bacon? It's like vegan bacon. Yeah. You know what's good? You should do vegan cheese and green apple sandwiches.

I like a little cheese. Oh, what the f***? And try it. It tastes like watermelon and mustard. I can't believe you just shamed me like that Wait you said cheese And apples on a sandwich Yes it's delicious I promise you

What else you put on there like mayo No It's just cheese and apples Maybe a little mustard but I'm telling you I promise you it's good So how has things changed for you since being vegan? Because I find that being vegan does like clear your mind more and make you feel like just more energetic. So how has it been for you? It's been a dream of mine.

I don't know if you all know in the news like years ago, there was this like black lady. She was like 80 years old. She lived in Miami. And she looked like thirty five because she was a raw vegan and she would grow all of her fruits and vegetables everything she ate she grew herself and she would drink her water her rain water she would clean it and distill it and and she would drink that and she looked incredible and i remember watching that when i was younger and being like that's the goal i was like by the time i'm 50 i want to be fully vegan i want to have a garden and i want to walk around but booty naked in my garden every single day and pick my breakfast. So this has been a long time in the making. I realize it's not for everybody. Do you know what I'm saying? But now that I'm finally

here, it feels amazing. Like I feel lighter, like your veins, your veins are just a little lighter after eating what, you know, the substitute of something that would be meat it's like i don't even feel as heavy as i would have if i'd eaten the meat version you know what i'm saying now you know what people are going to say next people are going to say oh lizzo is you know eating better because she doesn't want to be a big girl anymore that's the thing that really bothers me is people think that i don't really like myself because that's what that's rooted in. It's rooted in fat phobia that even though that I'm this body positive person and, you know, I'm promoting self-love that deep down inside, I don't actually like myself. So I'm going to change myself. And that's the part that

hurts my feelings because I really genuinely do love my body and I love myself. And trust me, I've been working out, eating clean for years now, and I'm still fat. I'm healthy, but I'm fat. It's like, if I wanted to change that, I have access to so much that I could, I could go and get work done. I could do this and do that, but I like myself, so I'm not going to change myself. And people who do change themselves, cool. They change themselves because they want to. And this is what I want to do. Well, I'm a huge Lizzo fan. I want to say that just from the very beginning. So I'm really happy for you and I'm excited for some new music. So does this mean an album is coming? What's the deal with that? You i'm an album artist you know i put out bodies of
