Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. It's Thursday. Yes, it's Thursday. It's Throwback Thursday. And today. Oh, man.

Starting point is 00:02:39 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
Starting point is 00:02:56 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.
Starting point is 00:03:09 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
Starting point is 00:03:25 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
Starting point is 00:03:41 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.
Starting point is 00:03:57 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.
Starting point is 00:04:12 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,
Starting point is 00:04:23 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,
Starting point is 00:04:30 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,
Starting point is 00:04:37 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.
Starting point is 00:04:48 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.
Starting point is 00:05:05 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,
Starting point is 00:05:16 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
Starting point is 00:05:30 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.
Starting point is 00:05:50 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.
Starting point is 00:06:00 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.

We're going to still
Starting point is 00:06:28 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.

Front page news, what are we talking about? All right, we're going to talk about the world's longest flight.
Starting point is 00:06:52 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.
Starting point is 00:07:17 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?
Starting point is 00:07:30 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.
Starting point is 00:07:43 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
Starting point is 00:07:57 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.
Starting point is 00:08:13 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,
Starting point is 00:08:20 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.
Starting point is 00:08:35 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.
Starting point is 00:08:51 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.
Starting point is 00:09:08 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.
Starting point is 00:09:24 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.
Starting point is 00:09:31 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.
Starting point is 00:09:37 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.
Starting point is 00:09:47 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
Starting point is 00:10:04 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
Starting point is 00:10:14 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
Starting point is 00:10:22 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...
Starting point is 00:10:35 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.
Starting point is 00:10:47 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.
Starting point is 00:10:56 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

Starting point is 00:11:31 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
Starting point is 00:11:54 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.
Starting point is 00:12:13 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?
Starting point is 00:12:21 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
Starting point is 00:12:38 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.
Starting point is 00:12:53 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.
Starting point is 00:13:02 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.
Starting point is 00:13:17 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,
Starting point is 00:13:28 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?
Starting point is 00:13:38 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.
Starting point is 00:13:48 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.
Starting point is 00:13:58 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.
Starting point is 00:14:14 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.
Starting point is 00:14:32 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.
Starting point is 00:14:38 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. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Starting point is 00:16:42 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.
Starting point is 00:16:53 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.
Starting point is 00:17:37 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?
Starting point is 00:17:49 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.
Starting point is 00:18:06 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.
Starting point is 00:18:18 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.
Starting point is 00:18:33 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
Starting point is 00:18:48 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.
Starting point is 00:19:04 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.
Starting point is 00:19:20 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.
Starting point is 00:19:29 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,
Starting point is 00:19:37 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.
Starting point is 00:19:44 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.
Starting point is 00:19:57 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.
Starting point is 00:20:08 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.
Starting point is 00:20:18 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?
Starting point is 00:20:33 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.
Starting point is 00:20:42 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.
Starting point is 00:20:53 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.
Starting point is 00:21:14 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.
Starting point is 00:21:41 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
Starting point is 00:21:58 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.
Starting point is 00:22:09 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.
Starting point is 00:22:32 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.
Starting point is 00:22:49 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
Starting point is 00:23:12 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.
Starting point is 00:23:38 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.
Starting point is 00:23:56 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.
Starting point is 00:24:12 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
Starting point is 00:24:27 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
Starting point is 00:24:43 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
Starting point is 00:24:59 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
Starting point is 00:25:15 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
Starting point is 00:25:35 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.
Starting point is 00:25:51 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.
Starting point is 00:26:04 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.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Okay. Oh, oh. Gotcha. True. Okay. They have to be genuine. I'm not going to make up a compliment. True indeed.
Starting point is 00:26:20 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.
Starting point is 00:26:38 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
Starting point is 00:26:56 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.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Man. The legend. A whole legend. 100% pure grade A legend. And I have compliments for him today. Let your auntie and your uncles
Starting point is 00:27:15 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
Starting point is 00:27:23 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.
Starting point is 00:27:34 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.
Starting point is 00:27:44 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.
Starting point is 00:27:58 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
Starting point is 00:28:14 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.
Starting point is 00:28:28 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?
Starting point is 00:28:38 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,
Starting point is 00:29:21 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
Starting point is 00:29:40 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.
Starting point is 00:30:07 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.
Starting point is 00:30:24 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.
Starting point is 00:30:38 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?
Starting point is 00:30:50 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.
Starting point is 00:30:58 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,
Starting point is 00:31:15 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
Starting point is 00:31:27 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
Starting point is 00:31:43 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
Starting point is 00:31:59 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.
Starting point is 00:32:12 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.
Starting point is 00:32:21 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.
Starting point is 00:32:37 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.
Starting point is 00:32:59 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.
Starting point is 00:33:17 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.
Starting point is 00:33:26 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?
Starting point is 00:33:38 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.
Starting point is 00:34:10 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?
Starting point is 00:34:19 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,
Starting point is 00:34:37 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.
Starting point is 00:34:58 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.
Starting point is 00:35:10 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.
Starting point is 00:35:28 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.
Starting point is 00:35:41 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,
Starting point is 00:36:11 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.
Starting point is 00:36:22 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.
Starting point is 00:36:37 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,
Starting point is 00:36:54 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.
Starting point is 00:37:11 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
Starting point is 00:37:31 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.
Starting point is 00:38:02 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.
Starting point is 00:38:38 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.
Starting point is 00:38:58 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?
Starting point is 00:39:29 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
Starting point is 00:39:46 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.
Starting point is 00:40:13 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?
Starting point is 00:40:20 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
Starting point is 00:40:35 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.
Starting point is 00:40:55 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?
Starting point is 00:41:25 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?
Starting point is 00:41:38 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.
Starting point is 00:41:48 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,
Starting point is 00:42:16 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.
Starting point is 00:42:40 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.
Starting point is 00:43:04 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
Starting point is 00:43:19 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
Starting point is 00:43:48 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
Starting point is 00:44:04 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.
Starting point is 00:44:22 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.
Starting point is 00:44:37 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.
Starting point is 00:44:52 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.
Starting point is 00:45:03 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.
Starting point is 00:45:34 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.
Starting point is 00:45:44 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.
Starting point is 00:46:02 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,
Starting point is 00:46:37 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.
Starting point is 00:46:57 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
Starting point is 00:47:26 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
Starting point is 00:47:42 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
Starting point is 00:48:06 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,
Starting point is 00:48:28 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
Starting point is 00:48:43 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.
Starting point is 00:49:09 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?
Starting point is 00:49:18 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—
Starting point is 00:49:33 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.
Starting point is 00:49:42 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,
Starting point is 00:50:01 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.
Starting point is 00:50:40 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.
Starting point is 00:51:02 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.
Starting point is 00:51:16 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
Starting point is 00:51:42 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.
Starting point is 00:52:20 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.
Starting point is 00:52:53 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.
Starting point is 00:53:14 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.
Starting point is 00:53:30 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
Starting point is 00:53:56 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.
Starting point is 00:54:16 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.
Starting point is 00:54:26 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.
Starting point is 00:54:39 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
Starting point is 00:54:50 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
Starting point is 00:55:09 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.
Starting point is 00:55:25 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,
Starting point is 00:55:49 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.
Starting point is 00:56:05 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.
Starting point is 00:56:22 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.
Starting point is 00:56:40 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.
Starting point is 00:56:53 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.
Starting point is 00:57:12 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.
Starting point is 00:57:23 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
Starting point is 00:57:40 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?
Starting point is 00:57:56 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
Starting point is 00:58:10 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.
Starting point is 00:58:27 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,
Starting point is 00:58:44 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
Starting point is 00:59:16 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
Starting point is 00:59:35 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,
Starting point is 00:59:47 B.I.G., that Life After Death album. What about Tupac? No, not all of them. No. You talking about All Eyes On Me?
Starting point is 00:59:56 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,
Starting point is 01:00:02 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.
Starting point is 01:00:13 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.
Starting point is 01:00:35 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.
Starting point is 01:00:54 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.
Starting point is 01:01:04 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
Starting point is 01:01:19 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,
Starting point is 01:01:35 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
Starting point is 01:02:00 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.
Starting point is 01:02:36 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
Starting point is 01:02:59 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.
Starting point is 01:03:27 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.
Starting point is 01:03:43 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.
Starting point is 01:03:53 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?
Starting point is 01:04:04 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
Starting point is 01:04:27 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.
Starting point is 01:04:43 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.
Starting point is 01:05:04 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
Starting point is 01:05:12 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?
Starting point is 01:05:21 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.
Starting point is 01:05:32 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.
Starting point is 01:05:48 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.
Starting point is 01:06:10 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.
Starting point is 01:06:23 Well, thank you for that donkey today up next is ask and before we get into that um if you want to see the dummy who charlamagne fell in love with i did just post a picture of the two of them looking very much in love together really what's his name uh you gotta see okay if you go to my instagram all right well 800-585-1051 ask ye is next call us now it's's The Breakfast Club.

Starting point is 01:07:00 So I do massage therapy and everything. You know, I've been with my girl for about two years, right? Uh-huh. And, you know, I love my girl and everything. But I kind of miss being a little ho. I'm not going to say that a lot to you. You miss hoing. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:17 But I love her. You feel me? And the career path that I'm choosing, it's like making it like 10-time Carter for me. Because when I, you know, hand out my card and everything, you know, I got tattoos, you know, face tattoos, tears and all that stuff. I look good. You know, you know, nice little body, you know what I'm saying? And when I, you know, hand out my card, you know what I'm saying? It's like, and then they got my number on there, my personal number.
Starting point is 01:07:43 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.
Starting point is 01:08:02 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.
Starting point is 01:08:27 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
Starting point is 01:08:44 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?
Starting point is 01:08:55 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?
Starting point is 01:09:17 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
Starting point is 01:09:35 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?
Starting point is 01:09:58 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.
Starting point is 01:10:13 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,
Starting point is 01:10:26 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.
Starting point is 01:10:44 I ain't never had gonorrhea. I never had FDD. 800-585-1051 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?
Starting point is 01:11:00 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.
Starting point is 01:11:27 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.
Starting point is 01:11:47 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.
Starting point is 01:12:14 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.
Starting point is 01:12:34 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
Starting point is 01:12:51 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
Starting point is 01:13:08 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
Starting point is 01:13:24 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.
Starting point is 01:13:40 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,
Starting point is 01:13:57 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.
Starting point is 01:14:09 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.
Starting point is 01:14:25 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.
Starting point is 01:14:43 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
Starting point is 01:15:00 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.
Starting point is 01:15:12 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.
Starting point is 01:15:23 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,
Starting point is 01:15:32 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.
Starting point is 01:15:59 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
Starting point is 01:16:15 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,
Starting point is 01:16:32 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
Starting point is 01:16:48 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.
Starting point is 01:17:04 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
Starting point is 01:17:28 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.
Starting point is 01:17:44 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.
Starting point is 01:17:56 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
Starting point is 01:18:05 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
Starting point is 01:18:12 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
Starting point is 01:18:20 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.
Starting point is 01:18:33 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.
Starting point is 01:18:50 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.
Starting point is 01:19:06 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.
Starting point is 01:19:30 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
