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.

The Running Interview Show, where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more.
After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast

their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

The world's most dangerous morning show.
The Breakfast Club.
What the hell is this, man?
I'd rather put y'all together.
Y'all are like a megaforce.
Y'all just took over every...
Wake your punk ass up.
This is Chris Brown.
I've officially joined The Breakfast Club.
Say something, mother...
I'm with it.
The world's most dangerous morning show.
Breakfast Club, bitches. Good morning, USA! Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Thursday. Yes, it's Thursday.
It's Throwback Thursday.
And today.
Oh, man.
Drop one of Kool's bombs now before we even announce who the hell is coming.
The icon.
Listen, man.
The legend.
A whole legend.
100%
Teddy Riley.
100% grade A legend, okay?
It's my guy.
If you know anything about me, then you know that I am absolutely in heaven this morning.
That's right. Because if it don't
feel like Uptown Records in the 90s,
I don't want it. Well, Teddy Riley will be
joining us this morning. You know him from the legendary
group Guy, also from Rex and
FX. I don't know
if we know him from Rex and FX.
He produced Roadshaker. Yeah, he produced
Rex and FX, but Guy, of course. Blackstreet.
Blackstreet, yes. He's produced numerous hits
for Michael Jackson. Bobby Brown. Bobby Brown.. Blackstreet, yes. He's produced numerous hits for Michael Jackson.
Bobby Brown.
Bobby Brown.
He produced for Jay-Z.
He produced for so many people.
So many people.
New Jack Swing, baby.
Yeah, he created a whole genre of music.
Absolutely.
You got to say Teddy Riley is like top three greatest producers of all time.
How many producers can say they created their own genre of music?
And countless remixes for people as well. There's only like
two I'd probably put above him. And I don't even
know if I'd put above, above.
Like who? Quincy Jones and Dr. Dre.
Because Dr. Dre
transcended so many eras.
Quincy Jones. And Quincy Jones is, you know,
Quincy Jones. Yeah.
Those are my
three. Has anybody watched his Quincy Jones
documentary? No, I haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet.
All right.
I haven't turned on my Netflix in a long time.
I haven't even seen the new season of Orange is the New Black.
I was just watching that while I was away.
You know, a lot of hotels now have Netflix on the television.
You can sign in.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, so the hotel I was at when I was in San Francisco,
the Netflix is on the television.
You just sign in and you can watch Netflix.
You know the problem with Netflix?
This is the problem with Netflix, that it's there.
So it's no urgency to watch anything.
Yeah, I feel the same way.
Because in my mind, I'll be like,
I'll watch Orange is the New Black this weekend.
I'll watch it this weekend.
But I never get around to it.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, I'm the same way.
It's something to be said about appointment television.
If a show comes on at 9 o'clock on a Thursday,
you want to catch that show.
Yeah, because I'll be like,
I'll watch it later.
It's on Netflix.
I can catch it again.
But then sometimes you're like,
this comes out Thursday night
at midnight,
and you might want to watch
the whole thing Friday,
and that's your whole plan.
Depends what it is, man.
That was before.
Before I was like that with Netflix.
I think because it was new.
But now I'm like,
I'll catch it tomorrow.
Yeah, that's worn off.
I'll catch it on Monday.
I'll catch it on the weekend.
If it ain't no sense of urgency
for me to watch,
if I don't feel like I'm missing out by not watching it,
I'm not in no rush.
Yesterday I had to host this Hustle in Brooklyn premiere party.
That show actually starts on Tuesday on BET.
Oh, my homie on that show, Lil Ivy Rivera.
Yes, and Danny Deuce.
There's a lot of people on that show.
It's all about hustlers, millennials in Brooklyn
that are trying to make it to the next level.
Okay. I got a question for you guys. Sorry to go back to Teddy Riley, right? to make it to the next level. Okay.
I got a question for you guys.
Sorry to go back to Teddy Riley, right?
But I got to do a Teddy Riley mix.
Talk to me, sir.
Now, I need to know your favorite Teddy Riley joint.
Just pick one.
I already told you.
First, I mean, I don't know if it's my favorite,
but I try to pick songs that are,
because I have a favorite guy song.
I have a favorite Blackstreet song.
Then, of course, I love Is It Good To You.
That was my song.
Is it good to you? That's my joint right there. Off the top of my head, I'm going to tell you that I love Guy. Then, of course, I love Is It Good To You. That was my song. Is it good to you?
That's my joint right there. Off the top of my head, I'm going to tell you that I love
Guy I like. And the reason I love Guy I like is because
I listen to Guy every damn day.
No, that's High Five. Shut up, man.
Did he produce that too? No, he's like, I like
the way you... Teddy Riley produced
I Like by High Five? Are you sure?
Yes. You positive? Yes.
Well, you like both I Likes. He did the kissing game.
It's right there. It says... Really? Okay, the song was written by Teddy Riley, Bernard Bell, and Dave Way.
Yeah, see, that's the other thing, too.
Teddy Riley was a hell of a writer.
You know what I'm saying?
I mean, because you can go to so many different.
You can go Johnny Kemp, Just Got Paid.
Just Got Paid.
You know what I'm saying?
But then I like Peace of My Love.
That's my song.
Keep Sweat.
I love Peace of My Love.
Get a piece of my life.
Keep Sweat, I Wanna.
I Wanna.
You know what I'm saying?
Teddy's Jam.
I Want Jam.
Bobby Brown, My Parodial.
Oh, Jam.
So, yeah, it's a lot.
Listen, let your aunties and uncles have their time this morning. Too much.
Let your aunties and uncles have their time this morning.
Let us enjoy this moment, okay?
Because we got the GOAT Teddy Riley coming in here.
I just feel bad, and I'm going to tell you why.
Man, shut up.
I'm going to tell you why I feel bad.
Why? Because it's our girl's birthday, and usually I do our Man, shut up. I'm going to tell you why I feel bad. Why?
Because it's our girl's birthday
and usually I do
our girl's mix today.
We're going to still
rep for Cardi B.
How?
Because I got to do
a Teddy Riley mix.
Because Cardi got records
that play in rotation
every hour on hour.
You're right.
Okay, well Cardi will be fine.
You know what I mean?
Show her some love
on social media.
Will your check still clear?
My Atlantic check?
Of course.
Drop on the clue bombs
for Atlantic, baby.
All right, just making sure.
Bardi Gang cutting the checks now.
Oh, Bardi Gang? Bardi Gang. Okay. All right, well let's get the show cracking. Front page news clue bombs for Atlantic, baby. Just making sure. Body game cutting the checks now. A body game?
A body game.
Okay.
Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about?
All right, we're going to talk about the world's longest flight.
How long do you think that flight is and where do you think it's coming from and headed to?
That's happening today, actually.
Okay. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
I got to die. They won't be expecting when capital go to slide. Because I told them that we put that behind us, but I lied. Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast
Club. Let's get some front page news.
Now, tonight is Thursday
night football.
The New York Giants take on the Philadelphia
Eagles. Should be a win
for the Giants, but we'll see what happens tonight.
Why would that be a win for the Giants?
The Philadelphia Eagles are the defending Super Bowl champions.
Why do you think that's such an easy win?
I mean, we got Barkley.
We got Odell.
I mean, light work.
You had it in the past four weeks, too.
How many games did y'all win?
We had to get things together.
You know, sometimes when you're new on a team, it takes some time to, you know, to get things together.
Okay.
To be able to work together.
If I'm Eli Manning, I ain't throwing the ball nowhere near Odell. Well. I'm going to, you know, to get things together. Okay. To be able to work together. If I'm Eli Manning, I ain't
throwing the ball nowhere near Odell.
I'm gonna freeze you out. You wanna talk spicy this weekend?
Alright, watch this, buddy. My goodness.
Alright, well, let's talk about the Hurricane.
Yes, Hurricane Michael. They said
the death toll is at least two people
at this point in time because of the
storm-related incidents. More than
half a million customers don't have electricity
in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.
It is now headed to the Carolinas,
but it has downgraded
from a powerful Category 4 hurricane
to a tropical storm.
So all these people don't have power,
and at least two people
have been killed
as a result of Hurricane Michael.
Bam.
They're telling people
that if you're trying to get back
to your home,
wait until they tell you
it's safe to go to.
There's a lot of debris in the road,
a lot of places they can't even go and see if people are safe yet.
Well, we wish Florida a speedy recovery.
Yes, of course.
Now, the world's longest flight is set to take off today.
Now, New York time, that's going to be on the East Coast time.
That's going to be 11.35 a.m.
But in Singapore, it's 11.35 p.m.
That flight's going from Singapore to New York.
And they're saying it's a 19-hour flight.
People have done that before, don't they?
No, this is the world's longest flight.
So nobody's ever flew to Singapore from New York?
Not stopped.
It's just connecting, I guess.
And they did have one before, but it was an 18-hour flight,
and then they stopped doing it, and now this one's 19 hours.
I've heard people say they've flown 19, 18 hours before,
going to like Japan or South Africa.
And Maldives too, right?
That's connecting now. The Maldives too, right? That's connected now.
The Maldives were about $16, but you had to connect.
There was no direct flight to the Maldives.
Yeah, this is the world's longest direct flight, 19 hours.
I'm cool on that.
Ain't no need for me to be in the sky that long unless I'm a goddamn bird.
When I took that almost 16-hour flight to Johannesburg, I actually enjoyed myself.
I slept for 11 hours straight.
Oh, I love it.
They give you great food.
You get to sleep. You get to watch the movies. I slept for 11 hours. I don't think I've ever done that. I do that all hours straight. Oh, I love it. They give you great food. You get to sleep.
You get to watch
dope movies.
I slept for 11 hours.
I don't think I've ever done that
in my life.
I think I went back
to South Africa in November.
How are the bathrooms
on a 19-hour flight?
That's what I would need to know.
Regular, like the bathrooms
on any other flight.
No worries.
There's nothing special about it.
Yeah, I don't like that.
There's no shower.
19 hours, I'm definitely got caught.
I might have to poop.
What airline did you fly in?
I flew on...
Depends what airline you fly in
because some airlines,
they have shit.
I'm a very regular-bob mover.
I didn't have to do that.
Now let's talk about a New York man who's been charged
with building a 200-pound bomb
that he was allegedly planning to detonate
on Washington's National Mall
on Election Day. Paul Rosenfeld,
56 years old. He was in court
yesterday. They found an explosive device in his basement on Tuesday. They pulled him over, 56 years old. He was in court yesterday. They found an explosive device
in his basement on Tuesday.
They pulled him over
while he was driving.
He admitted that he bought
black powder online
and then took that to his house
in New York from New Jersey
and started building
this explosive device.
Why would you do that
on Election Day?
Like, what if the person
that you actually voted for wins?
Well, he was trying to,
as he said, bring attention
to a political ideology
called sortition.
What is that?
It means a theory that advocates the random selection of government officials.
Huh?
I know.
Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of voting?
I don't know what his...
What?
Yeah.
Who are these people that are randomly picking people?
Listen, I haven't even heard of sortition before.
Sounds like something from Game of Thrones.
Clearly something's wrong with this man.
Sortition is the guy
that makes you a weapon.
That's what it sounds like to me.
That is your front page news.
All right.
Thank you, Miss Yee.
Now, get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent,
hit us up right now.
Maybe you had a bad night,
bad morning.
Maybe you just need
to get some things
off your chest
to have a better day.
And tell your aunts and uncles
that Teddy Riley
will be here next hour,
God damn it. Or if you feel
blessed, you can spread some positivity as well.
Tell your mama and daddy.
585-1051 and your aunties. The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Let's go.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
So if you got something on your mind, let it out.
Hello, who's this?
Hello, this is Flea.
Flea, what's up?
Get it off your chest, bro.
Hey, yo, I'm type mad about that Mike Epps episode, man.
Like, Mike was talking about how he, if he had $500 billion,
like, what is he going to do?
Either get a big house or a big car?
I'm like, yo, this is 100,000 people that
look just like him that are looking to
be comedians that he can actually set up an institute.
You know, that's the type of thing that Kevin
Hart is actually, you know what I'm saying,
trying to do. So he need to get off Kevin
Hart's s*** and actually try
and, like, you know, team up with Kevin
to actually try and build something. You know what I'm saying?
And shout out to my band, Speed of God, man.
I appreciate your help in actually helping me promote my little short film,
Perceive Your Caution, that's streaming on Amazon Prime right now.
Oh, word. Love.
He's like, huh?
I don't even remember.
You probably tweeted him, didn't even know.
I don't care, though.
You know what I'm saying?
That's what real help is.
You know what I'm saying?
When you're helping people and you ain't even looking for nothing in return,
I even know what the hell you're doing.
Hello, who's this?
This is Casey from Los Angeles.
What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Man, I want to give a shout out to, rest in peace, to my
big brother, Reggie, who passed over Memorial
Day weekend this year, man. I've been trying to
call since then, but I've been finally able
to get through. It's like 3 in the morning over here.
Sorry to hear that, my brother. Yes, rest in peace.
Our condolences.
Yeah, man. Thank you, guys. I listen to you guys every morning.
You guys really helped me through my grieving process.
Man, you guys, I love you guys.
Love you, too, my brother.
Love you, too, my brother.
You love him some, you, huh?
I love me some, you.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, Breakfast Club.
This is Justin.
Hey, Justin.
Justin.
Get it off your chest, Justin.
Oh, man.
Don't you hate it when you have an argument with somebody
and you can't remember what exactly to say or whatever,
then later on you're just sitting there, you're like, man.
I should have said this.
This is that person that would shut them down right away.
Yeah.
Yeah, everybody does that.
I'm sure you have that all the time when it comes to Charlamagne.
You're sitting there talking to them later on.
You're like, I shouldn't have told them this.
Nah, I really don't.
I just.
Yeah, I don't think we do that here. I don't think we go to here. But more at home. Like, you might be arguing with your wife and're like, I shouldn't have told them this. Nah, I really don't. I just... Yeah, I don't think we do that here.
I don't think we go to here, but more at home.
Like, you have to argue with your wife,
be like, I should have said that.
But yeah, that happens all the time.
And you shouldn't be arguing with your wife.
Don't do that.
That's a losing battle.
Always remember in an argument,
you got to ask yourself,
do you want to be happy or do you want to be right?
And that's what I ask all the time.
And that's why, you know what?
Sometimes you just shut the F up.
Hey, man, I'll always pick happiness.
All right, brother.
Because knowing I'm right is enough for me.
I don't have to prove it to the other person.
Siobhan.
Hello.
Hey, good morning, Siobhan.
Hey, good morning, guys.
Hey, get it off your chest.
Yesterday was my birthday.
Oh, happy belated.
Happy birthday.
Don't tell her happy birthday yet.
She probably didn't get what she wanted.
No, actually, I did.
I got to say, this year was a little bit of a challenge,
but for my birthday, I bought a house.
Oh, now that's a birthday present.
Congratulations.
That's huge.
Yes, yes, yes.
So I'm definitely grateful for that.
And I, you know, came from humble beginnings,
from the Bronx, from the projects.
There you go.
It definitely feels good to accomplish that goal. Well, you know, all the craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all the projects. There you go. So it definitely feels good to accomplish that goal.
Well, you know all the craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
So, yes, you should pat yourself on the back.
Well, congrats, Mama.
We're very happy for you.
Where's the house at?
Where'd you buy it at?
Such an accomplishment.
Connecticut.
Okay.
All right.
Well, congratulations, Mama.
Don't you go bringing the property value down to that neighborhood now.
And happy birthday again.
Oh, you stopped it.
You're a mess, Charlamagne.
Enjoy the home. Get it off your chest.

You better hurry your ass up to the hospital, man.
You're about to have a baby.
Your wife's about to have a baby, and you calling us?
Man, I'm at work right now, bro.
I'm heading home to the south to pick up my car.
Then I'm going to my babe, bro.

Anxiety playing tricks on me.
You can pre-order now.
How old are you, bro?
I'm 24, man.
I've been driving trucks three years, y'all.
Okay.
Oh, congratulations.
I waited until I was 40 to have a third child.
Nah, man.
I'm trying to go in and get them out there early.
Yeah, go in and get them while your knees still working.
How many more are you going to have?
Nah, that's it.

You're only 24.
How many baby mamas you got?

Oh, so you got three baby mamas.
Yeah, three baby mamas and a wife.
Well, a fiance.
Three baby mamas and a wife.
You didn't name the headache you get on a daily basis.
Jeez.
Well, thank you, man.

Big chocolate.
Yo, yo, what's up, gang?
How we doing?
Everything's good, big chocolate.
Good, good.

One, I want to tell everybody in Brooklyn next week,
don't watch Jimmy Kimmel's show, The Biggest Coming.
He's still upset with him for doing blackface years ago.
Don't support him.
Tell him, kiss your black ass while you pass gas.
What bigot is coming?
Jimmy Kimmel to Brooklyn next week.
Don't watch his show.
He's doing his show at the Barclays, right?
Yeah, right, right.
He's a bigot.
Is that where it is?
Jimmy Kimmel is not a bigot.
There's a lot of white men on TV that are bigots.
Jimmy Kimmel's not one of them.
We talked about that.
And good luck to you, Charlamagne, brother, on your HBO show.
Thank you, sir.
And if you need help, I can help.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Come on, every kid is right, brother. Trav! Yeah?
What's up, Trav?
What's going on, Trav?
What's going on, Yee?
What up, Trav?
With your fine ass.
I've seen you on the gram.
Oh, yeah, Trav always gives me nice, positive feedback on the gram.
Okay, Trav.
People be hating on you on the gram, Yee.
I know.
I don't understand why.
What's up, Charlamagne?
What up, sis?
What's your fine ass?
You know how to get me hype in the morning. What made you
just say that all of a sudden?
I hyped ye up, so I had to hype you up too.
Oh, okay. I thought you saw
a new picture of me or something.
That was a sympathy hype.
Some new video or something. You know what I'm saying?
I thought you saw that glow from these colonics.
Listen.
Voluntary.
We got to put Jabalus on ice until we figure out what happened with him.
I mean, Fabulous.
Excuse me.
Hey, stop.
Leave him alone, man.
Now, Envy, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I know you got a song with him, but listen, I want to support your album.
So we got to put him on ice until we figure out.
Now, we're not going to make jokes about this.
We're going to hold all punches.
Shut up.
He's going to have to take this on his chin.
Shut up.
Oh, my God.
It's a proven guilty.
We're not going to throw no shots at him.
We're not going to throw no jabs at him.
You think he got married?
That's the rumor.
And if he did get married, I think we all know why now.
But the state picked up the charges for a reason, and we're not going to ignore
it. I know that's our friend, but
we cannot ignore. But I mean, him getting married,
I'm trying to figure out why would him
getting married stop the charges. I kept seeing people
say that. Like, well, why? Why would that stop the charges?
Because Emily B has been wanting to get married all
this time. He doesn't want, he
punched her in the face eight times. Allegedly.
Allegedly. Allegedly.
Yeah, but this isn't Emily pressing charges, though.
The state picked up the charges, didn't they?
Yeah, but the state picked up the charges because Emily first went down and talked about what happened to her.
And then the state only picked up the charges if they feel like they can win the case.
If they feel like they have a case.
It's out of her hands right now.
Yeah, and they don't need Emily for that.
That's what I'm saying.
So I don't understand why everybody's like, oh, he's marrying Emily.
But they wouldn't need her to cooperate.
No, they wouldn't. Yeah, they do. No, they don't. It's a lot easier when someone cooperates. That's what I'm saying. So I don't understand why everybody's like, oh, he's marrying Emily to stay out of jail. But they wouldn't need her to cooperate. No, they wouldn't.
No, they don't.
It's a lot easier
when someone cooperates.
That's why the state
picked it up.
Charlamagne,
I can tell you that
I've had states
and states pick up charges
on me over my ex.
And the only reason
the state picked up
the charges,
the only reason
they dropped the charges
is because he didn't show up.
Right.
If they don't cooperate,
there's nothing
they could really do about it.
That's not always the case, though.
They may have enough evidence.
They may have a video.
They may have something that they can use against Fab.
They don't always need to witness.
Oh, well.
It's a lot more difficult.
They might have pictures from that night of Emily with bruises on her face.
I don't know.
I'm just saying, like, you don't always need to witness.
It's a lot more helpful.
But we got to put him on ice.
That's my guy, too.
Used to be until we figured out what happened. That is very true. All right, y put him on ice. That's my guy, too. Used to be. Until we figure out what happened.
That is very true.
All right, y'all.
Bye.
Bye, Trav.
I like that.
Trav needs his own show for real.
Until we figure out what happened.
And he might not be good on his own show.
He might just be good for a feature, too.
Let's not give him his own record.
All right, stop hating.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
You even got rumors on the way?
Yes.
Let's talk about an emotional breakdown.
Find out what celebrities in the hospital are getting mental health treatment because of that.
Okay, we'll get into all that.
And don't forget, next hour, Teddy Riley will be joining us, all right?
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Break the book out.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee.
Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
One day to the weekend, man.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, my knees hurt.
How you doing?
Scratching.
All right, well, let's get to these rumors.
Let's talk Fabulous.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor Report.
Rumor Report.
This is the Rumor Report.
Talk to them.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, last week, Fabulous was indicted for one count of domestic violence with significant bodily injury,
two counts of threatening to kill, and one count of possession of a weapon, which was a pair of scissors.
You guys all saw this video where Fab was brandishing these scissors at Emily B. and her father
in the driveway of their home in Englewood, New Jersey.
Now, all four of those charges are for third-degree crimes in New Jersey.
Each charge can bring up to five years in prison.
And Emily's not testifying, so the state picked it up.
Yeah, the state has picked it up.
They say the state will still pursue because there's other evidence,
like witness observations or prior statements from the defendant or alleged victim.
Right, absolutely.
They are still together, though,
so we'll see what happens and we'll keep
you guys updated. Oh, and we gave some wrong information
during Tell Them Why You're Mal. They're a spousal
privilege. It's applied in both federal and state
courts, so a wife can claim it, so she doesn't have to testify.
Yeah, so that's when everybody's talking
about Fab and Emily getting married, I was like,
what does that got to do with anything? She doesn't have to testify.
She can say she don't remember. She can say whatever she wants to say.
She doesn't have to. She doesn't have to cooperate. If anything say she don't remember. She can say whatever she wants to say. She doesn't have to. She doesn't have to cooperate.
Right.
If anything did happen, we don't know.
Mm-hmm.
So we will keep you updated.
Now let's talk about the Title X show in Brooklyn.
Title has announced their lineup for their fourth annual Title X show.
And that's going to be happening October 23rd.
And performances include Lil Wayne, Lauryn Hill, Meek Mill, Addison, Pac, Normani, Kodak
Black, Tiana Taylor, Lil Skies, Black Dog,
Queen Naja, The Lox, Vic Mensa,
Black Boy JB, Danny Lay, that's my girl,
Jay Critch.
So that's just some of the people performing.
Drop her the clues box for Lauryn Hill.
You know why I say that?
Because Lauryn Hill will always finesse her way
at the headline of the show.
Even though people know she may be two hours late,
Ms. Education and Lauryn Hill is that good,
and she's that much of an icon that she's worth the wait.
All right, so those funds are going to support organizations
that are spearheaded by the artists,
which includes Lil Wayne's Social Way for Change,
T.I.'s Title X Money Talk Education Challenge,
and also social justice initiatives from people like A$AP Ferg,
The Logs, Damian Marley, and more.
All right, now let's do some mean tweets. We all get these, right? And of course,
on Jimmy Kimmel Live, that's where celebrities get to read their mean tweets. Well, here was
the music edition from the American Music Awards.
Tiger pants too tight. Hashtag this.
I like some of Halsey's songs, but my God, she sings like a goat being in the ass.
Jason Derulo sucks horse.
Pink is aging pretty well for a pig.
Thank you.
Shout out to schoolboy Q. He ugly than a.
For sure I am.
G-Eazy is like the American cheese of cheeses.
Or like the boxed wine of wines.
Or some other s*** thing.
The tweets Jimmy Kimmel does on me tweets are cute.
They can go a little bit more deeper though.
There's some very much harsher stuff
being said. Well yeah, we don't want to kill
people's spirits. We should do that up here one day.
We gotta see the tweets anyway.
If they're at you, you're gonna see them anyways. You might as well
read them regardless of how harsh they are.
Alright. Now Selena Gomez
has been hospitalized twice in the last
two weeks and now they're saying she is suffering
from an emotional breakdown. So now she's
at a mental health facility for treatment.
See, and this is what mean tweets and negative
comments can do because the last time she posted
on her social media on September 23rd
she said, just remember, negative comments can
hurt anybody's feelings. Avi.
Well, I keep telling y'all that, you know,
these smartphones, these social media
apps, we're in abusive relationships
with these things. Like, it's like going home
every day and getting yelled at and cursed at.
You wouldn't stay in a relationship like that. People tell you
how terrible you are and suck this
and that. So why stay on social media?
Now she, well, that's why she's off right now. She did
an Instagram live before she left too
answering questions and she said
that depression had consumed her life for
five years. Now what they are saying
is that she was admitted to the hospital. She had
first emergency because she
had an alarmingly low white blood cell
count because of her kidney transplant that
she had. She was released but then she had to
be readmitted because her low blood
cell count persisted and that's when she went into
a downward emotional spiral. They said
she wanted to leave the hospital. Doctors said she
couldn't. She had a meltdown. She freaked out and
tried to rip the IV out of her arm,
and they said that was an emotional breakdown, so
they currently have her now in an East Coast
psychiatric facility where she's
getting dialectical behavior therapy.
Well, prayers up for her mental health as well.
I'm glad she's getting help, absolutely. But once again,
I keep telling y'all, man, we painting this
unattainable picture of perfection in America via social media,
and now that virtual reality has seeped into our real lives
because we are forced to try to be perfect in real life, too.
That's going to cause a lot more emotional breakdowns in the future
because it's just impossible to attain that level of perfection.
It doesn't exist.
Yeah, you know, it really feels good when you go around
and you give people compliments just randomly.
And I do that five times a day on purpose.
And sometimes more if I feel so inclined.
But I make sure that I do that.
Like I push myself.
And it's not genuine compliment.
You ever got a compliment from Angelina?
I ain't never got no goddamn compliment from Angelina.
Maybe she doesn't feel that way about us.
You ever got one, Drum?
Steve, you ever got one?
I work with this woman every day.
It's a way of these five.
When do you start this?
After 10?
Maybe it's people she like.
No, I try to do it.
I get five compliments a day.
Who?
People that deserve it.
I was going to say.
Okay.
Oh, oh.
Gotcha.
True.
Okay.
They have to be genuine.
I'm not going to make up a compliment.
True indeed.
Okay.
Well, if you had to make up one, make up one for Charlamagne right now.
Your hair looks nice.
I don't have hair.
By the way, that's exactly why I don't bless Angelina when she sneezes.
Okay.
Oh, get these gracious.
All right.
All right.
Well, I'm Angelina E., and that's your rumor report.
But it's nice when you do it to people you don't know Also like strangers because a lot of times we're not nice
To people that you see randomly on the street
If someone's looking at you you're like what the hell are they looking at
But it's nice to be like oh
You look really great today or I like your hair or whatever
Now you guys don't try this too much
Might not work for you
I like your hair
Creep
I'm going to human resources
Alright well let's clear this up Now when we come back The icon Creep! Creep! I'm going to human resources. Whoa, whoa, whoa. All right. All right. All right.
Well, let's clear this up.
Now, when we come back,
the icon.
Man.
The legend.
A whole legend.
100% pure grade A legend.
And I have compliments
for him today.
Let your auntie
and your uncles
have this moment.
All right?
Because one of the greatest
producers of all time,
to me, top three greatest
producers of all time.
You know, if it don't feel
like Uptown Records
in the 90s,
I don't want it, god damn it.
All right, well, he's from Harlem.
The architect of the New Jack Swing era.
Absolutely.
He's from Harlem.
I met him out in Virginia when I was in Hampton.
Of course, he lived out there for a while.
First time I ever seen Michael Jackson,
I walked by.
It was Teddy Riley bringing him to Virginia.
So we're going to talk to him when we come back.
Did you talk to Michael Jackson?
I did not talk to him.
I said I seen him walk by.
No, I was just asking.
So you didn't say anything?
No.
No.
I was out as a fan, watching like everybody else.
I thought he walked right past you.
You should have walked up on Michael and said,
Yo, bud is mine.
That's all you can think of.
Teddy Riley, when we come back, it's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning, jerk.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are
The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in
the building. People like to throw that term
whole legend around. But he a legend legend.
Yeah, there ain't too many whole legend legends
out here in this street, okay? Teddy Riley.
Yes. Welcome, sir.
What's happening, man? How y'all doing? How's everything?
Teddy, I don't even know where to begin with you, man.
You produced everybody from Michael Jackson,
Bobby Brown, Keep Sweat, Guy, just to name a few.
Jay-Z.
You're the architect of New Jack Swing.
Where do you want to start?
It's wherever y'all want to start.
Start from the beginning.
You're from Harlem.
Yes, sir.
Born and raised.
Now, how'd you start producing?
How'd you get into music?
I was always trying to do something with music when my father introduced these instruments to me trumpet piano
guitar i started at uh three years old went to the apollo at five and what made me want to be
in show business was when gladys knight picked me up on the stage singing neither one of us
my mom and my dad used to play nothing but j Brown, Al Green. They'd take us down south and just leave us.
They would say they're going to a club, and they'd go back to New York
and leave us down south for the summer.
So I had the experience of being in the south.
I realized that back in the day when I wanted to get into music,
I was 14, 15 years old, nobody was into music. Everybody was
wrestling, playing football.
It was just tough. Oh, no, no, no.
Back then, it wasn't like that.
Am I right or wrong?
The South changed
a lot. They just got hooked
on to the drugs
big time.
Probably late 80s, early 90s.
There you go. I was in the home of my mom
and my dad and there's a lot of domestic violence and that's the reason why my mom is with me today
she lives with me i would never leave out of my sight because she supported me through everything
you know my father kind of fell out of it and i guess because you know he's a hustler so when it
happened i just kind of continued music,
but I was hustling as well.
And when I did that,
I guess I wanted to get a confirmation from God
to know, is this my place?
And I got that confirmation.
What was the confirmation?
I was at the 23rd precinct, sitting in a chair,
explaining to a cop what I want to be,
because he's like, you're 15.
What are you doing here? What is it that you want to be because he's like, you're 15. What are you doing here?
What is it that you want to be in life?
And I told him, I said, I want to be a star.
And he said, well, you're not going to be a star in here
because you're about to go to Central Booking.
What did you get picked up for?
He had drugs on you?
Yes.
A lot of substance.
Actually, I had the chemicals.
To make it?
Yeah.
Gotcha.
I was more of the guy who delivered.
Gotcha.
Are you saying you know how to cook crack, Teddy Riley?
No, it's not crack.
Coke?
What was it back then?
PCP.
PCP?
Oh, okay.
Angel Dust.
I was with a crew called Shack Crew, and they kind of brought me up.
I didn't really have a father figure when my father left.
But you created the sound, though.
Before that, but who encouraged you to get into music then?
Because, I mean, you say you was 15.
You was running the streets.
When I was small.
I wanted to be in music since I was five.
But at what point did somebody grab you around the neck and say,
no, you are going to be a producer?
When did you start taking it serious?
I did it myself.
I took it serious after my bus.
So around 15, 16?
Yeah.
Okay.
And then I joined a band. And that band is called
Total Climax. And then we developed
Kids at Work. So when we
developed Kids at Work,
we pretty much, I was in both bands.
So I was, that's been my thing
since I started, was being in
different bands. Because I'm a team player.
Were you making money? Huh? Were you making money at that
time? Oh yeah. From the band? At 15
we played like
Celebrity Club. We played
Ponderosa. We played Jock's
Place and Trebekker's and
we were the local band and
there was another band, Keith Sweat's band
called Jamila and then
Johnny Kemp's band called Kinky Fox.
We were rivalries. So they would
hit a club, go to another club,
we would hit that club.
And that's, you know, we made $100 was a lot of money.
It was a lot of money.
It was okay.
It was a lot of money.
So fresh out of jail, you just started asking around?
I never went to jail.
Fresh out of Bookings.
Bookings.
Yeah.
You just went around Harlem like, I want to join a band.
Yeah.
No, I went with my Casio.
Okay.
I had my little Casio in my hand,
taking it everywhere, showing people I know how to play. Okay. I had my little Casio in my hand, taking it everywhere,
showing people I know how to play.
And then I went down to this basement where there was a band there,
and they were older.
And I said, man, I just want somebody to see, you know,
check me out and see if I can play.
And there was a guy by the name of my guitar player, Jerome Dickens.
He said, man, shorty, if you don't know how to play,
we're going to take your Casio.
So when he said that, I just said, you know what?
You only live once, and this is your chance.
So I took the Harlem Boys' chance.
And I said, I'm going to play my Casio.
They were like, no, you're going to play this.
And they had a Fender Rhodes, which was the heavy keys.
So I'm this 15-year-old with little fingers trying to play.
So I just said, you know what?
I'm going to play with two hands.
And the song was Reasons.
And they're a top 40 band.
So the song was Reasons.
The Reasons.
Yeah.
The Reasons.
All right, Sean.
We got it.
We understand.
Give us your casting, Sean.
So they started the song.
And I actually played.
And Jerome was the guy that said, yo, shawty, nice.
And that's how I got to join the band.
Were you self-taught, or you took lessons?
You taught yourself.
You know how to play by ear?
Yes.
Wow.
How did you create the sound?
Because you have a different sound than was in the industry at that time.
How did you create that sound?
The whole genre, the new Jack Swing. Well I used to have dreams and my dreams were
how could I wanted to see Michael Jackson and Prince together. I wanted to
see James Brown and Al Green make a record. Just I wanted to mix it up and
being that I couldn't get what I want I did it in the music. So I put gospel with blues,
with fusion, with EDM,
and mixed it all up like gumbo.
And I didn't have a name for it.
I just did it.
You don't really have a name
until it becomes famous.
Right, and then people
will name it for you.
Yeah.
Who was the first artist to believe?
I feel like we're jumping something, though.
When did you first get
into production, though?
You went for the band.
When I was with the band, there was my mentor.
His name is Royal Band.
He's the cousin of Kool and the Gang.
And he used to always take me to the studios to meet Kashif, M2 May,
and all of the producers of that time, Patrick Adams and Fred McFarlane,
who made Somebody Else's Guy.
These are all producers that just embraced me and took meFarlane, who made Somebody Else's Guy. These are all producers that just embraced me
and took me under their wings,
and that's how I kind of just watched everybody.
And I was an assistant in the studio,
and I was young, so I just wanted to go give it,
just to know what all of those buttons do.
I went to the store.
I got the tea.
So I was the guy, the runner, you know, like I ran.
Paying your dues.
The runners.
Would your first record be
considered a New Jack Swing record?
Of course.
I'm trying to figure out who should get the proper
credit for New Jack Swing. You or Andre Harrell?
Wow.
I'm just asking the question.
It should definitely be me.
Now, Andre Harrell
is a part of discovering me.
So, when you got the person who discovered you, that makes him responsible.
That you made the music.
But I'm 24 hours in the studio.
I'm the one who, you know, he's the button pusher.
He's the one that made, ah, that's how.
And he's a visionary.
I can't take that away from him.
So you did Wild Wild West, though.
Yes, sir.
That wasn't New Jack Swing, though.
That was...
Wild Wild West.
Well, it was New Jack Sw jack swing you know why why new jack swing is so many styles and ways of doing the jack swing if you have
singing and rapping on a record you're doing new jack swing this is music technology so all of the
rappers that can sing in on their records they're're doing New Jack Swing, whether they know it or not, because we started it.
So that's how you have to say today,
New Jack Swing is in all the churches,
all of the musicians.
All of Bruno Mars' music.
You can say.
Is that right?
You said that.
You know that, don't you?
Bruno's, Bruno.
Yes, he did.
He did.
He did, and he truly did.
In fact, I protected him because they tried to put me in a trick bag.
They were saying he's a carbon copy, and he's not.
He's just doing New Jack Swing his way.
All right, we got more with Teddy Riley.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
D.J.M.V., Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
It's Throwback Thursday.
And today we have an icon, Teddy Riley, in the building.
We've seen the Bobby Brown story.
Now, is there any truth to Bobby Brown hearing the music and was like,
I need to work with Teddy and him coming to Harlem to work with you
and you creating his sound?
There's so much more to the story.
But I'm cool with it because it happened.
Our story needs to be told.
What happened with Bobby?
Tell us. How deep did your relationship go with Bobby?
Let me just give you a scenario.
Do you remember the scene where he got off the bus? When he got off the bus
he was thinking that everybody wanted to kill him
or he was paranoid.
Oh, when he ran into the house. When he ran into
the white guy's house, he pulled out the shotgun.
That actually didn't happen.
Bobby, and I don't know if he could remember this, we were in Chicago. white guy how's he pulled out the shotgun yeah yeah okay that actually didn't happen bobby and
i don't know if he could remember this we were in chicago bobby took a cab from the bus met up with
my band members told my band members that fine i'm looking for teddy i need him right now he was
paranoid he had a knot like two knots in his. All he wanted to do was see me.
Like Bobby and I, we are close.
And just to show you, everybody knew how close we were
because when I hid him in my room and let him sleep,
mind you, I used to sell the stuff he took.
So I knew how to get it off of him.
It's PCP.
All you have to do is drink milk.
Bobby was on PCP? I thought he was on milk bobby was on pcp i thought he's
gonna cope he was on everything oh okay but milk milk it came to me he said yo give me a room he
started giving him i said no i'm gonna put you in my suite and you'll be there you'll be safe
we went to sound check and i get a call from shookge's brother, Suge Knight's brother. And Wes said, what's up, little man?
I hear Bobby disappeared to somebody close.
And only person I know that's close to him on this tour is you.
I said, Wes, come to the hotel.
He came to the hotel and I took all my guys.
They took Wes to Bobby.
Bobby was sound asleep.
By the time he got up, he was ready to do the show
because the milk helped.
So that's the part he should have shown
instead of, you know, certain things that I felt like.
The Janet situation, you know, that's like my little sister.
I just felt like that could have been taken out, you know.
But I heard yesterday from BET that a lot was taken out you
looked uh in the movie you looked genuinely shocked when you saw bobby and whitney together
on a date did that really happen um i was the one that tried to talk bobby out of the wedding
really yes why i don't dislike whitney she's beautiful person but i told him i said man
you want me to work on this second album?
I got most of the songs.
And you're going to get married?
He's like, yeah, man, I think this is the best thing for me.
I said, I'm going to give you some analogies.
No disrespect to anybody I'm saying.
But I said, when Lionel Richie got married,
and there was posters all over the place
where his record sales went.
Thank you.
And then Babyface after guilty
when he got married so you gotta look at the stats and be like dad do i want to follow that
at the time you wanted to be a sex symbol single sex symbol yeah and all his his fans were mostly
women so i was going to talk to him i tried to talk him out of it and then he's like nah and
you're gonna be there too.
I said, I'm going to be there.
I'm going to be there anyway.
And I wound up getting there, and he was in the room.
He was in the bathroom.
Wouldn't come out.
Wouldn't come out.
And was that your assistant?
Who?
Alicia. The one that went to talk to him.
Alicia that went and...
They said that was your girlfriend.
Oh, was that your girlfriend?
Yeah.
I mean, we were seeing each other.
In fact, she's the one that's on Bumshaker playing the saxophone.
Ah. Do you think the marriage hurt
Bobby after giving him that advice?
Of course. Really? Yeah.
I think that if they wouldn't
have got married, do you think Whitney would
still be here? Well, according to the movie,
Whitney had the problem, not Bobby. But still.
Yeah, yeah. We don't know. Whether she's here
or not, you know,
that would have been her thing.
But Bobby would have been still doing his thing.
Even though he did, but he would have been even bigger.
The album would have sold more than two million copies.
Was that story true, though?
Two or three million copies.
Was he stuck in the bathroom and she got him out?
Yeah.
In fact, I wasn't in that area where he was at in the bathroom.
I was actually in the congregation and waiting for him to come and take his spot.
And when he did that, you know, my whole thing was, he's okay.
Why did Guy break up?
Guy broke up because my best friend was killed in the situation we had with New Edition and Guy back in 1989.
It started in North Carolina
and it was a situation
where New Edition
walked on our stage
while we were singing
Peace of My Love.
You mean just walked on?
Just walked on.
We didn't know
what was going on.
Right.
All we heard was like,
yo, don't hold me back.
Yo, what's up, Ted?
Well, now that happened, started from there and it went to Pittsburgh.
It was no real beef with the actual principles.
It was the back line.
One of my guys kicked their tech guy, kicked him 10 feet off the stage.
Wow.
And why he did it, because that particular day,
no audition was supposed to go on before us, but they were late.
And when they showed up late, they wanted to get dressed and, you know, do their thing.
And they had to take, well, Al Heyman and Gene, you know,
kind of decided like certain cities, New Edition go first.
Certain cities, Guy go first.
Right.
So that was the day that New Edition was supposed to go first.
When all this happened, it continued in Pittsburgh.
When we drove into Pittsburgh with my bus, it was all on the news.
A guy by the name of Anthony B. from New York's, you know, Harlem, New York.
He got shot in the revolving door of the Marriott Hotel.
And the guy that shot him was a pro because he didn't miss.
And this guy, my best friend, I went to the funeral.
Nobody came to the funeral.
And Michael Jackson called.
Everything happened at the same time.
Michael Jackson calls.
So I asked Q-Tip, could I use this room to make music for Michael?
I didn't tell Michael I was quitting the group.
We had a show at Madison Square Garden
and that was my last show with Guy.
1990. And when I quit
I left the next day
to go work with Michael. So you quit because you felt
like they weren't there for your man?
For him. They weren't there for me.
For you either. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they knew
how much he meant to you. Wow.
So new addition, Guy beefed with somebody getting
killed? It wasn't really a
beef with us though but it was the organization so yeah so before we get into michael how did
you reconcile with the rest of the guy this is like a love-hate relationship you know i really
really love those guys man and i'm i'm really trying to work it out because i feel it's important
that people see guy and I'm saying this nationally because
I'm tired of being hated on in my
own camp. Is it because they're brothers, so they kind of
team up on you a little bit? It's a majority
rule thing, so every time it's
time to vote. It's two words, one, oh,
always, right? You're never going to win that one.
And I didn't mean to come
here to talk about that because, like I said, I have
strong love for these guys. Like, I'm the one
that came back and really built it.
How was it going back on tour with Guy again, when you guys linked back up and just were performing together?
How did that go?
It went amazing some days.
Some days.
And other days you were being hated on.
No, it wasn't that.
It was just, I lived this.
So when I get on that stage, I'm going to be everything.
And I'm going to give my all.
And there's been certain days where we didn't give all.
Right.
As a collective team.
Because if one mess up, it's everybody.
That's right.
So we didn't give our all.
Especially when we was here.
I don't know if y'all saw it.
We got here, started our program to show.
And we started.
And it got to a certain song, and people didn't like it.
What song was it?
It was Aaron's song.
Okay.
Don't be afraid.
No.
I miss you.
You just said it.
Okay.
When that happened, I was like, wow, I got to figure it out.
Stop the song.
Go to the jams.
And everybody after the show said, saved the show i don't like
that i wanted to be about god not about me but it's about me for a certain reason because they
went out by themselves without me in fact we did shows and they didn't want me to perform those
shows with them and i said cool i'll just perform with Blackstreet and do what I do.
Friendly competition.
And I did what I did, and you can read about it.
All right, we got more with Teddy Riley.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club, the icon.
Teddy Riley's in the building.
Charlamagne?
So, Michael Jackson.
What was Michael Jackson really like?
Amazing.
A big brother.
A teacher.
Mentor.
He was just everything for me because I wanted to know everything about what he do and how he records.
I wanted to go back to the traditional days of recording.
And he showed me that.
And I kind of stuck with him you know every
album he would call me for the history album I came and did what I had to do
and go back and anytime he called. Did it feel weird having to critique him ever and be
like I don't know if this is it can you redo this part or? It was hard for six
months you know until he just kind of pulled my coat and said listen if I if I'm singing off key, I want you to tell me.
I want you to not be afraid to tell me I suck.
And when he did that, it gave me confidence.
And then one time he pulled my coat and said,
why you don't talk about us?
Talk about us.
I said, well, you had this big contract, non-disclosure,
200 pages. I said, I'm you had this big contract, non-disclosure, 200 pages.
I said, I'm not talking about you.
And he started laughing.
He said, you can.
I want you to.
I said, well, I don't even know if I'm going to make the album.
He said, let me show you something.
He started laughing again.
Let me show you something.
He showed me the Master boy with all the songs he said the closest ones to the top are the ones that will make the
album are the ones that I love and it was remember the time keep it in the
closet black and white she drives me wild all these songs of mine I couldn't
wait to go and call my brother he really did remember I couldn't wait to go and call my brother Teddy Riley didn't remember I couldn't wait to call my brother and say
yo we made it
what made you close up shop in Virginia
cause I mean you had a huge
studio down there the first time I ever seen
a plasma television was on your wall
and that's at the time when they were like
40,000 a plasma
you had a huge tour bus that every artist
from every genre pop country
wanted to rent out.
And this was all stationed in Virginia.
And then it was just like a closed shop.
The reason why I left is because I was hated on by the officials, not the people.
I love the people.
I go to Virginia.
I still have a spot in Virginia where I can go and lay my head. I feel like I was used. You know, a lot of the officials, you know, basically just wanted to utilize my likeness
and not me as an official person in Virginia.
So I felt like this is not the place for me.
So I left.
And I was also, how would I say,
I was in a situation where someone, you know,
shysted me, Chauncey, and a lot of people in Virginia.
Over $50 million.
I don't know if anybody's seen American Greed,
but I'm on American Greed because there was a gentleman
who actually took a lot from us.
A lot of money from people, you know, retirement funds
and all of that stuff.
And he's in jail.
He's doing about 33 years.
Congratulations to him.
And, you know, congratulations to me
because I ain't giving him money back.
No, to him.
Oh, to him. How much did well for me shoot this this guy was
doing fake deeds and selling them to people meanwhile I'm not making any of
it because I wasn't a part of it and when I found out that he was doing that
I lost my house because he was supposed to take care of the deep,
but he was selling my house
over and over and over again.
Wow.
And people were buying them.
And then they're looking
at Teddy Rowley,
not the guy
who actually shysted them.
So I had lawsuits against me.
I said, you know what?
I'm going to tell the truth.
So that's why I left.
I just said, you know what?
It's time for change.
At your height, how much was you making per beat?
Because we was counting your pockets before you walked in,
and we was trying to figure out how much did Teddy have at one point.
I'm sure you—
We were arguing between—
Him and Scott.
Somebody said Scott Storch.
Somebody said Scott Storch.
And I said Teddy Riley, in my opinion, had more hits.
I say the same thing.
Way more than Scott Storch.
And then we started naming them all.
We know you had more hits.
That's not a—we know that.
Money-wise. Money-wise.
Money-wise, I gave it all away.
When I left Gene,
I think I left about maybe $20 to $30 million on the table
because I just wanted to be away from him.
Because when I found out from his right hand,
who left him and came back and showed me
all the paperwork of monies
that I really made I didn't even know that I was getting $200,000 to $250,000 a song that's all he
did was give me $10,000 a song or a remix oh my Jesus Christ so and I didn't control the bank accounts. Jesus Christ.
He controlled them all.
So when I came to New York to let my crew, Guy, Abstract, Tammy Lucas,
Redhead Kingpin, Rex and the Fact, everybody,
I came up to New York to let them know that I have to leave Gene.
They're like, what about us?
I said, well, I am a partner.
I can release you all from your contracts because I'm the one who gave you your deals.
They were like, well, release me.
And I released everybody.
I gave everybody their releases.
And I went back to Atlanta and I was stuck at the airport with $20 in my pocket.
He cut off all the credit cards and bank cards.
So I couldn't get a flight to go home
because I don't carry cash.
I carry cards.
So I was stuck at the airport
and I have to tell this story
because the girl who helped me
was a part of Abstract
and she saved me.
Marsha McClurkin.
And she gave me a credit card
because she was a part of a,
she was like, I think,
the vice president of a bank. And she gave me a Plat card because she was a part of us she was like I think the vice president of a bank and she gave me a platinum American Express and I said
we just give me this was a plastic card what we could do with this how much I
you know she was like you're gonna need it this was a month before I left gene
now that's the time where people could say you know cuz it's been a lot of
stuff Teddy Riley broke that was the time i was actually broke but the news came later so when it happened um she said
she said give it to the clerk i gave it to the clerk and the clerk said you have your first
class seat mr rowley that's how i got on the plane to get my family out of atlanta and we moved back
to the projects and then after all the hits after all that we moved back to the projects. This is after all the hits, after all that, we moved back to the projects.
Projects and all?
And then Keith Sweat, Harvey Austin,
Benny Medina, Quincy Jones, and Clarence Avon gave me a whole new life.
No longer than two weeks, I was back rolling.
Wow.
I got my first job from Keith Sweat.
Keith was like, yo, I'm gonna give you this remix.
I'm gonna pay you $15,000. That's more than $10,000, right? Wow. Then I get a call from
Benny Medina. I get a call from Al Teller. We need you to come out to LA. So I go out to LA.
Benny Medina called me, told me to come. I need you to remix this record. I'm in a hotel looking at the video on MTV,
Don't Wanna Fall In Love, The Rockway.
And I said, man, if I had this song, I would kill this record.
It was just my mind, even though I ain't had no money.
And Jane Chow came, Benny Medina got me that job.
I thought I was getting $10,000 for the remix.
Benny Medina, he said, I'm going to send a check over to you.
You know I'm paying you.
I said, no, I don't know.
I'm giving you $75,000.
I need this remix in five days.
I said, you got it.
I went back to New York.
But I had a meeting with Al Taylor for Future Records.
They gave me my own label.
And they said, you know,
who do you want to sign?
I signed Rex and Effect first.
And we did Rump Shaker.
It was one person that gave me the confidence
and confirmed that I needed to put this record out.
And that's my son's mom, Madeline Nelson.
And she's the one that said,
this record is done.
And when she
did that I immediately hired her and we was inceptible we we made so much money
together and she was the one that encouraged me to go to Jack the Rapper
and showcase Rump Shaker and not worry about MCA or anybody because we got a we
got to control our own destination. You got to do a book, man.
You got to do a book
and then we got to do the movie.
How long have you been talking to Teddy?
Over an hour.
Over an hour and I could literally
know I could talk to you for another hour.
Talk about the Michael Jackson phone call.
We didn't even get into Heavy D.
We didn't even get into Blackstreet.
I'll come back.
You got to come back, man.
I don't even know.
It can't be eight years, though. You I'll come back. You gotta come back, man. I don't even know. It can't be eight years, though.
I don't even know.
You gotta come back.
The one thing is, I get my star on Hollywood.
On Hollywood.
Walk of Fame.
Long walk of fame.
Congratulations on that.
That's a nice class right there.
I think we shared life together, and I really want y'all to be there as my guests.
I'd love to be there.
Hell yeah.
You gotta tell your story, man.
It has to be on TV.
That's why I always celebrate you,
and that's why I want to give you your flowers
while you're here.
Man, I just want to say I appreciate y'all so much
because you don't have to, you know,
but y'all do because, you know, I guess, you know,
like I said, I have no hatred for anybody,
so anything y'all do, I watch your show a lot.
You know, every chance that I get
because I want to know what's going on, what's happening, and to me, y'all have. I watch your show a lot. You know, every chance that I get because I want to know what's going on, what's happening.
And to me,
y'all have your hands on the pulse
of things that's going on, you know.
Well, we appreciate you for joining us. You're a whole
legend, Teddy Riley. Y'all go Google Teddy Riley.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Do your own information on Teddy after this interview because it's a lot.
It's Teddy Riley. It's The Breakfast
Club. Good morning.
It's very, very, very, very big. It's very, very, very, very big.
It's very, very, very, very big.
Pause.
She's spilling the tea.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club.
All right.
Well, we told you about Terrence J and this car accident that happened, according to witnesses.
They said that the car, a woman was driving. They thought it was Terrence J's longtime this car accident that happened, according to witnesses, they said that the car, a woman was driving.
They thought it was Terrence J.'s longtime girlfriend, Jasmine Sanders,
crashed into a parking meter and then slid into a tree early Tuesday morning,
and then the two of them jumped out of the car and ran.
It was a $200,000 black McLaren.
And now...
$300,000, by the way.
Well, they're reporting it as a $200,000 one.
I don't know why.
Probably had the kit. I don't know. Did they come with kits?200,000 one. I don't know why. Probably had the kit.
I don't know.
Did they come with kits?
I don't know.
I don't know anything about them expensive ass cars.
Now, Jasmine Sanders took to her page on Instagram and said,
I don't know where to begin.
Despite what you guys may have heard, I was not involved in a car accident yesterday.
I genuinely enjoy sharing my life with you all via social media.
However, it is very difficult to see such false portrayal about myself in the media.
I really appreciate everyone who has
reached out for your concern and support.
I'm going to take a few days off of social media while I
continue to work and stay focused. I love you guys.
So if it wasn't her, we don't know who
it was. But I guess she's
trying to say that because her comments were in shambles.
I went to her page just to see if she was
even in the United States at the
time that it happened or in town.
So who was the woman?
We don't know.
Was it Becky with the good hair?
She back out here causing problems?
Now stop it.
I don't know, but, you know, her reps had already said it wasn't her in the car,
and she has now said that it was not her.
So I'm sure whatever issues are going on, the two of them are going to have to deal with that.
But fortunately, everybody's okay because it did look like an awful accident.
The car ain't got no airbags either.
I ain't seen no airbags deployed in that.
The car definitely has airbags.
I ain't seen none deployed in that picture.
How could you even see that?
What do you mean?
I'm looking right at the picture.
You can't see it.
It would be a big-ass airbag in the front window.
I can't tell from that picture.
But if that's the case, then he has a great lawsuit.
All right.
Tekashi69, he is possibly
about to get locked up. You know why? He was due
in court yesterday and did not show up.
He was supposed to be in court, failed to appear.
The judge told his attorney, counselor, if your client
is not here on Tuesday, there will
be a bench warrant. So they're saying that he was
in Dubai, the Netherlands, and that he was
trying to come back, but I guess he just
didn't make it back yet. But you can't
dismiss court. No, come on.
Now, Mike Will Made It is going to be executive
producing the Creed II soundtrack, so that's
huge. Congratulations to him
for that. He said, won't deliver anything
but a classic. Who do y'all want to hear on the soundtrack?
Leave comments below.
They gotta make sure they
make it up to par. I'm gonna watch Creed II
because I really enjoyed Creed I,
but I don't have high hopes for Creed 2
because Ryan Coogler didn't do it
and they did the most predictable plot
which is him fighting the Russian
Who would you want to hear on this soundtrack?
Because Mike Will wants some suggestions
I don't know
On a Creed 2 soundtrack
What's going to make you want to fight
Meek Mill with a lot of energy
Future with a lot of energy
I even think Tekashi have a lot of energy. Okay, Meek Mill's good. I think Future would have a lot of energy. I even think Tekashi69 would have a lot of energy.
Kurt Franklin.
Casanova.
Kurt Franklin would definitely be who I would want on this album.
Casanova.
Kurt Franklin, Mary Mary.
That's who I want on this album.
All right, now let's talk about Pusha T.
He did an interview, and he was talking about, you know,
everything that went down with him doing his
album that only has seven songs in it that kanye pushed him to do here's what he had to say about
that well really sold me because he knows i'm so anti like the idea of everybody putting like 25
tracks on an album like to get the streams up and all of that. It's like, it's such a poverty, poverty way of like cheating to me.
So I was like, you know what?
You're right.
We need to be totally against everything.
And we need to do, just have a whole nother mantra
in regard to what we're doing in this, in this wave.
And he sold me on it.
I mean, we acting like less is more hasn't always been best way, though. I mean, you think of some of the
most classic albums ever, it's like 9, 10 songs.
Nas, Illmatic, you know,
Michael Jackson's first two albums, Off The Wall
and Thriller. Like, the shorter, the better.
Right, and he's also saying that people are doing that just to
get more streams. And he said 25 songs
in particular. Scorpion had 25 songs
in it, which was Drake's album. I can't think of too many
songs, albums that had 25 songs that
were actually really good albums from top to bottom.
Notorious Big,
Life After Death.
I was going to say,
B.I.G.,
that Life After Death album.
What about Tupac?
No,
not all of them.
No.
You talking about
All Eyes On Me?
Yeah,
you don't think that was good?
It was good.
All Eyes On Me was good.
You talking about
every song top to bottom?
Well,
I don't think any album,
period.
I can't think of many albums
that every song top to bottom.
I can't think of one song that Notorious B.I.G can't think of one song on that chart that's B.I.G.
That album.
Life After Death, that's what I'm saying.
There's not one song on that album.
There's got to be a couple songs that you're like, this is my favorite.
Hell no.
I love every song on that album.
Gives me different moves.
All right.
Now, he also goes on to talk about Drake and how he doesn't think that Drake is built for rap beef. It's funny because people will, they'll play with the whole battle notion in their raps.
They'll say slick things.
They'll do this.
They'll say this.
They'll say that.
But then when it comes, it's, oh, it's too far.
Oh, you can't do this.
Oh, I'm gonna write a whole dissertation about why this wasn't supposed to be.
It's not even fun at this point.
I think you have to be really careful.
He's right.
He's 100% right.
Because we're supposed to be battle rapping.
And it's just like in a fight.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
You slap me and then I drag you all up and down the street and everybody say I did too much.
Like, no.
I agree.
I agree.
It's battle rap. Can you really go too far in battle rap? No. I mean much. Like, no. I agree. That's a battle rap. Can you really
go too far in battle rap? No.
I mean, you can, but I mean, it's battle rap.
You're supposed to. Not when it's battle rap.
I don't think you should be talking about battle rap.
I don't think you should talk about people's kids. I don't think you should be, but
if you enter that realm,
you gotta know what to expect. That's it. You gotta
deal with all the consequences that come with those actions.
I do think it's too far, but if you jump into that ring...
Remember when Jay-Z had to apologize for what he said
about Nas? Yep.
Because it was a little too far.
Alright, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor
report. Alright, thank you, Missy. Shalemite!
Yes? Who you giving that donkey to? Listen, man,
this donkey is coming from my home state
of South Carolina. Speaking of
going too far, when was the last time you
shot somebody, and what did you shoot him over?
Huh? I never have we'll
talk about it for after the hour my goodness all right it's the breakfast club good morning
it's time for donkey of the day
i'm a democrat so being donkey of the day is a little bit of a mixed one so like a donkey
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 Thursday, October 11th goes to a 19-year-old young man named Ryan Langdale.
Ryan is from my home, the great state of South Carolina.
Drop on the clues box for South Carolina.
All right, now Ryan is facing charges of attempted murder, using a firearm in a violent crime,
and obstructing justice in the critical wounding of his 17-year-old cousin.
Ryan, 19 years old, clapped his 17-year-old cousin.
Now I want to explain the obstruction of justice charge first.
See, Ryan first told deputies that his cousin had accidentally shot himself
by dropping a hunting rifle while cleaning it.
Now the cousin confirmed it in a brief statement
after being rushed into life-saving surgery,
but the deputies didn't think the evidence lined up to their story.
Now, sheriff's deputies said they knew from the beginning
that something wasn't right.
They said the pathway the bullet had taken through the victim's chest
was impossible if the victim had mistakenly shot himself.
And guess what?
The professionals in this situation, a.k.a. the police, were absolutely correct.
Would you like to know what happened to Ryan's cousin for real?
Well, when Ryan's cousin woke up a week later after being critically wounded,
he told investigators potato chips were at the center of a dispute
that prompted Ryan to purposefully shoot him.
What flavor? Now, I'm going to get there.
I know what you're thinking. That's what matters.
That is what matters. I know that's what everybody's thinking.
Ryan shot his cousin over some potato chips.
Alright, before we jump to any
judgments, before we rush to any judgments,
we have to find out what kind of chips they were.
Okay? Original Lays?
Nah.
Nobody going to shoot you over no classic original Lays. What aboutays? Nah. Nobody gonna shoot you over no classic Original Lays.
What about barbecue?
No.
I love barbecue, though.
You could get clapped over some barbecue chips.
I don't think so.
Depending on your taste buds.
Sour cream and onion, maybe.
Cheddar and sour cream, you think?
Nah.
Decent?
Nah.
I'll shoot you over some jalapeno ones, though.
I love jalapeno chips.
Spicy.
What about salt and vinegar?
Yeah, it gets your mouth watering.
Yeah, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Salt and vinegar chips are my favorite potato chip, okay?
Not even close, but never in my life have I seen a shortage of salt and vinegar chips, okay?
Ryan, all you had to do was go to the store, all right?
If you got money for bullets to shoot your cousin, then you got a few coins to buy some salt and vinegar potato chips.
Now, when Ryan came clean and told the real story, he said
he told his cousin, do not touch
my chips or I'll shoot you.
Ryan went into his back room and
fetched his rifle. You know in South
Carolina, a white man not going to get his gun. He gonna
fetch his gun. Alright?
Next thing Ryan knew, the rifle went
off and his cousin was critically wounded over
some salt and vinegar potato chips.
True story. Now, I know this sounds like crackhead behavior.
If this sounds like somebody addicted to drugs, it's a reason for that.
I was recently talking to our guy, Dr. Oz,
and for whatever reason, we started talking about salt and vinegar potato chips.
And Dr. Oz had this to say.
Let's throw to that combo.
I love salt and vinegar potato chips.
Well, that is a mouthfeel that they create for you.
So that is chemically designed to get you, Charlemagne, to absolutely adore and fall in love with those chips like you, that is a mouthfeel that they create for you. So that is chemically designed
to get you, Charlemagne,
to absolutely adore
and fall in love
with those chips
like you did that dummy earlier.
But there's a reason you love it.
It's chemically designed
to addict you
and hit your brain
with some of these foods
that crack cocaine.
So basically,
Ryan is a crackhead.
What dummy did you
fall in love with?
That's another story.
What's his name?
That's the real question.
That's another story
for another day. Okay, all That's another story for another day.
Okay, all right.
Another story for another day.
But basically, Ryan is a crackhead, which explains this crackish behavior.
Okay, now there's a lot of things someone should be shot over,
but never in the history of anyone's life until now
has somebody been shot over some potato chips.
Now, KRS-One, the legend, once said that people are steady packing a gat
as if something's going to happen, but it doesn't.
They wind up shooting their cousin.
They bugging.
Yes, Ryan was bugging.
And bugging is actually an understatement
because when Ryan is sitting in prison
after being sentenced to about 10 to 15 at 19 years old,
at some point, he's going to have an emotional breakdown.
And he's going to have an emotional mental breakdown
because it's going to be when he goes to the commissary
to buy some salt and vinegar potato chips
and he bites into one and starts crying because he realized that he made a permanent decision based off temporary feelings.
In this case, he made a permanent decision based off temporary cravings.
Please let Remy Ma give Ryan Langendale the biggest hee haw.
Hee haw.
Hee haw.
You stupid mother f***er.
You dumb.
Mm hmm.
All right.
Well, thank you for that donkey today up next is ask

So girls be trying to holler at you.
Yeah, they be trying to, I swear, they be throwing it, like, throwing it on it.
And, like, sometimes, you know, it's hard, you know what I mean?
Of course it's hard.
Being in a relationship, you know, and I'm sure it's hard for her, too,
because I'm sure men is throwing their penis at her as well.
Yeah, yeah, true.
So being in a relationship is always a sacrifice.
And guess what?
Whenever you're in a relationship, at times you wonder what it's like to be single. And when you're single, at times you wish you were in a relationship is always a sacrifice. And guess what? Whenever you're in a relationship, at times you wonder what it's like to be single.
And when you're single, at times you wish you were in a relationship.
The grass is always greener on the other side.
But what you have to weigh out is the pros and cons.
Imagine if you did something, would you mind if you had to risk losing your relationship over somebody else?
Sometimes when I think about it, it's like I wouldn't mind losing a relationship because, you know,
because, you know, I'm a veteran. I get losing a relationship because you know, because I'm a veteran.
I get paid from the military and stuff like that.
Sometimes I be feeling like, you know,
more money for me. You know, I know it sounds
selfish and everything.
It sounds selfish. It sounds very selfish.
But, you know, that's like how I feel.
You know, I'm also afraid to have children
because that's like more
money out of my pocket. You know, honestly, I'm a selfish being have children because that's like more money out of my pocket.
You know, honestly, I'm a selfish being.
I know I shouldn't be.
Like, that's how I am.
You feel me?
But I love her to death.
Like, I love her to death and that.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
It sounds like there's some fear that you have about losing your money and investing in other things. Because when you're in a relationship, it's an investment on both ends.
And you guys should both be bringing something to the table because when you're
with somebody, it's supposed to make you better also.
Right. She works
but she only works like
two days out of the week.
And guess what? You know what else too?
Not being in a relationship is probably more expensive
when you have to spend money dating and doing all
those things. Who said I was going to date?
Oh, so you're just going to sleep with people.
I mean...
Listen, if you're feeling so strongly about this,
I just want to make sure that you're fair to her.
If you really feel like you don't want to be in a relationship
and you want to sleep with somebody else,
then you need to let her know.
Well, that's kind of the hard part
because I just don't want to break her heart
because she is such a gentle and loving creature.
I cheated before and I told her about it and she stuck by my side, you know?
Yeah, but guess what's going to break her heart even more when you cheat on her
and she finds out that you did it again?
You give her chlamydia because it's something you caught from somebody else.
These conversations, your honesty is worth having a conversation with her if you really care about her and love her.
Don't string her along.
Okay, Angela.
I'll appreciate you.
You should be Angela the goddess.
All right.
Take care.
Good luck, man.
Just be honest, man.
That's the biggest thing that you could do in a relationship.
Okay.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Why is the whole laugh so universal?
As soon as you catch a man in a situation where he know he with more than one girl,
he always go, it's always three chuckles.
That whole laugh is so universal.
I heard you do it.
See?
You ain't never hear me do that.
Ask ye.
That was a super whole laugh he just did.
Now that's a gonorrhea laugh.
I ain't never had gonorrhea. I never had FDD.

ASCII. Morning everybody, it's
DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast
Club. We're in the middle of ASCII.
Now before we go to the phone lines,
you got an update of a caller that called a couple of months ago?
Yes. I don't think it was that long ago.
It was actually last month.
And she called in because her sister needed some advice. Here's what she had to say. My sister, she actually has
two-year-old twins and then she got pregnant right after she had the twins. So she has a
one-year-old too. And in a nutshell, her husband left her. He took her car and, you know, stranded
her. But before that, he was just a terrible human being.
So it's a good thing that he left.
Right.
But now she's been struggling.
She's already, you know, she already put in her application for, you know, like food stamps and stuff because she's living with my grandma.
She can't afford daycare because she's a three.
Yeah.
Under two.
Right.
But then she finally got a job offer because she has a criminal justice degree.
But she's still on the waiting list for child care resources.
So they asked, could she start, you know, within the next week or so.
But now she has to turn down the first job offer that she got.
So she feels like she can never get a leg up.
And I can't afford, you know, to put them through child care or we don't have anyone that can.
Well, I did follow up with her and her sister after that,
and I sent them a lot of information that our listeners,
as you guys were sending in that have been in similar situations
or were in positions to help.
Now her sister has responded and say, hey,
I just want to give you an update on my sister.
She was able to start her job and get her kids in child care for the time being.
She also is benefiting from some of the people who reached out after hearing her story on
your show.
The hard part is still not over and we have a long way to go, but we are definitely celebrating
a victory here.
Thanks so much for your advice.
And if you can please thank everyone who reached out to help.
It was really amazing.
It really does take a village.
So thank you to everybody who hit me up.
I passed your messages on to her and I know she took a lot of advice that she got.
So that's very fortunate. Again, it's
something like that that can help her actually provide
for her kids, be able to work
and keep this battle going so she can
make sure that she's the best mom she can be.
Alright, now let's go to the phone lines.
800-585-1051 if you need
relationship advice. Hello, who's this?
Good morning. How y'all doing? We good, man. What's your question
for you? Alright, so basically my
wife and I have been together for
like four or five years. Okay.
Married. And
she doesn't work anything. I take care of everything.
But she's been saying like
she feels bad because she can't get nothing for
Christmas and all this other stuff. But she doesn't
work. So how can I
come up with some creative way to like
get her some money without her thinking
like, alright, you can just take this.
But she does work, right? She works in the
house. She does things. She holds it down.
Oh yeah, of course. She takes care of my daughter
and all of that. So put it in her pocket.
Yeah, which is work. Do you guys have a
joint bank account? Yes.
Okay, so can she take from that account
to get you whatever it is?
And what I would suggest you do, because she does work,
maybe she has her own separate account as well that you deposit money into
because she is working.
She's taking care of your daughter.
She's taking care of the house.
It's just not a go out and have a job outside of the home type of thing,
but she is working.
No, I would never do it.
You would never what, give her money?
No, stay at home all day.
I can't do it.
It's too hard.
Wait, you wouldn't give her money to stay?
He wouldn't stay at home and work. It's too hard for him.
Right.
I can't take care of the baby all day.
It's ridiculous.
It's a lot of work.
So maybe that's a discussion that you have with her.
You know what? You stay home. You take care of our daughter.
You take care of the household.
You should be getting paid for that because that is a job.
So that she can always feel good about having her own money You take care of our daughter. You take care of the household. You should be getting paid for that because that is a job. Okay.
So that she can always feel good about having her own money in the bank and her own money to spend that she doesn't have to ask you for it.
No, yeah.
I mean, she got money in the account.
It's just that I guess she feels weird about like just using it for me, I guess, if it's not coming from me.
Because she feels like it's your money.
Listen, it's both of your money together.
And that's money that she earned, too.
And you need to let her know that all the money that you earned
is half hers, because you couldn't do what you do without her.
For sure. So, your money
is half her, like, both of y'all,
your money is your money together. I got you.
Alright. Appreciate it. Alright, no
problem. Alright, E, great advice.
Now, we got rumors on the way? Yes, let's talk
about Yo Gotti. His road
manager and vice president of his collective
music group has just been sentenced.
We'll tell you what that's for and how long he has to go to jail for.
All right.
We'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to these rumors.
Let's talk Yo Gotti.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The rumor report.
Gossip. Angela Yee. It's the in. All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the Rumor Report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, according to reports,
Yo Gotti's road manager and vice president of collective music group,
Howard Keon Wright,
has reportedly pleaded guilty to multiple charges,
and that's from that 2016 shooting that happened in Charlotte, North Carolina,
during CIAA weekend that also involved Young Dolph.
Now, Keon Wright admitted he sprayed a Sprinter van, a SUV in a Hyatt Hotel lobby with bullets and was possibly targeting Young Dolph, who was in town that weekend for a concert.
Why would he admit to that?
Copy on video.
I have no idea.
I have absolutely no idea.
But he has been sentenced to 10 to 14 years.
That's why. No, he's currently in
custody at a county jail. He was supposed to start his
trial along with two co-defendants
this week, but instead he took the guilty plea.
Kevin Thompson also
copped to several gun charges and Derek Bolton
took his case to trial and was found not
guilty. Really? According
to the DA's office, Howard Keon Wright
pleaded guilty to five counts of
discharging a firearm into occupied
property, discharging a firearm
into an occupied vehicle in operation,
conspiracy to discharge a firearm
into an occupied dwelling, eight counts
of discharging a firearm into an
occupied dwelling, and a misdemeanor carrying a
concealed gun. So if one of his mans beat it, I wonder
why he feel like he couldn't beat it. I don't know. It's interesting.
Yeah, I have no idea, but he's currently in custody at a county jail. So if one of his mans beat it, I wonder why he feel like he couldn't beat it. I don't know. It's interesting. Yeah, I have no
idea, but he's currently
in custody at a county jail. So if he did, what,
10 to 14, he might have to do it five years?
Maybe he didn't feel like
he could beat it if he took it. Why would he only have to do five years
from 10 to 14? Usually, if it's the minimum,
they usually do half of your time, right? I have no idea.
Good behavior? I don't know that much
about this. I'm not going to lie. Okay, just asking.
Alright, quality control.
Somebody had stolen a car that their engineer actually had two hard drives in the car.
So they didn't really care about getting the car back,
but they wanted to make sure they got the two stolen hard drives back, right?
So the CEO, P, actually went online.
He said, attention, Atlanta, whoever just jumped in the Dodge Journey
and stole the car at the Chevron
on Northside Drive, that was my engineer's car
with an important hard drive in it.
I know you're just doing what you do. I'm not knocking
your hustle because I used to steal cars in the
90s. I have 20K cash
money for the hard drive back. And guess what?
They got the hard drives back.
That shows what kind of solid person P is, man.
Drop one of Clues bombs for P.
Because P's not judging the individual, because P used to do.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
So P's like, look, I know this guy's probably not a bad person.
He's just trying to eat.
Matter of fact, you can keep the car.
Just give me the hard drive.
And I'm going to give you $20 for your room.
Listen, do you.
Do your thing, man.
And I'm going to give you $20 for your truck.
You got a car and 20K.
I doubt he let him keep the car, though.
But either way, he still put...
He said, I don't care about the car.
Yeah, he still put a reward out
for the hard drive
but that just shows
what type of person he is
because he used to do the same thing
so he didn't cast any judgment
he just said look
I just need this back outside
give me the hard drive back bro
that's all
alright I get it
and he got it back
so that's the most important thing
I guess they had some
unreleased tracks
some like little yachty on there
little baby
who knows what was on there
alright LeBron
he says
and I believe that he was joking,
but some people think maybe he was serious.
I don't know.
But he says his sons are so mature that he actually will let them drink wine.
Check it out.
No, not really.
It's the same thing that they listen to, the same thing my 14-year-old listens to.
So I get it all at home with my 14 and my 11-year-old.
What does that say about them?
It doesn't say anything.
It's just the time, that's all.
I got very mature 14 and 11-year-olds.
My 14 and 11-year-olds drink wine.
That's how mature they are.
They'll be driving next week, too.
I think he was joking.
Wait a minute.
I think he was joking.
The reason he was answering that question was because they were talking about the cultural divide,
what music they listen to in the locker room,
and he was saying his teammates listen to the same music that his kids listen to.
I saw a headline yesterday that Mad put out saying that they need to talk about underage drinking because of LeBron's comments.
He was clearly joking.
Right. I'm like, I don't know who thought this was serious.
He was clearly being sarcastic.
Did he really put out a statement?
Yes. I saw it yesterday because I didn't read the article.
I was just like, I just saw Mad put out a statement? Yes. I saw it yesterday because I didn't read the article. I was just like, I saw a man put out a statement.
I'm like, they're clearly reaching for a headline.
Absolutely.
He was clearly joking just now.
Oh, yeah, I see that on USA Today.
I mean, my father did let me sip Budweiser.
They said we still have a long way to go to educate parents about the dangers of underage drinking.
I'm sure that most parents let you take a little sip.
I sip Tide of Kim.
Yeah, my father would let me drink a Bud. He'd let me get a sip
of Budweiser.
My parents let me drink
whole margaritas.
They ain't love me.
Shout out to mom and dad.
They didn't take her
to Disney World,
so they got to keep
her entertained.
They ain't love me.
Amaretto Sours.
All right, I'm Angela.
You had alcohol?
Yeah, Amaretto Sours
got alcohol in it.
Amaretto's.
Don't they got
virgin margaritas?
Yeah, they do.
I didn't have virgin ones, though.
How old were you?
Like eight. Oh, they don't love you. No, I'm kidding. I didn't have virgin ones, though. How old were you? Like eight.
Oh, they don't love you.
No, I'm kidding.
I was a little older.
You might be able to get some charges on them right now.
The way they pulling up retroactive charges now.
Get Papa Yee for contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
All right.
Well, shout out to Revolt.
We'll see you guys tomorrow.

Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.

I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. 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.
