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

The ruler rubbing you the wrong way.
The Breakfast Club.
Made for everybody.
Good morning, USA! And look at who's here, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Listen, I don't know if I'm bright-eyed and bushy-tailed because I am a little tired, but I am here on time.
Drop one of Clues Bombs for me.
That's what I'm talking about.
Okay, even though I shouldn't celebrate what I'm supposed to do.
No, you should not.
I always say you shouldn't celebrate what you're supposed to do.
I take care of my kids.
Exactly.
You don't celebrate people like that.
You're supposed to, Negro.
Okay, I'm supposed to be here on time, but I am here.
We're all like, wow.
How was Lip Service Live last night?
Lip Service Live was great. It went a lot longer than I anticipated, but I am here. We're all like, wow. How was our lip service live last night? Lip service live was great.
It went a lot longer than I anticipated,
but it was really good. You know, all the
Hustle Gang came through. It's like 12 of
them. So imagine having a conversation
with four women and 12
members of Hustle Gang at once. Well, Hustle
Gang gonna be here this morning, and we don't have enough chairs, and we
don't have enough microphones, so I think that we should only accommodate
five. I guarantee you some of them aren't
gonna make it anyway this morning after last night. Oh, that's good, because we don't have enough microphones, so I think that we should only accommodate five. I guarantee you some of them aren't going to make it anyway this morning after last night.
Oh, that's good, because we don't need 12
people in here, okay? And Latari Naughton,
a.k.a. Tasha from Power, came through.
Okay, drop on the clues bombs for
Tasha from Power and Latari Naughton.
She was filming, and she blessed us and came
through right after she finished filming Power.
So they filming season, what season, season five now?
Yeah, I think it's season five.
Did she give you any spoilers?
I asked her for some, and her answer was, I live.
I'm alive.
Oh, so that means that it's more death going to happen this season,
which means that power is coming to a close.
Which means that she was really just saying, I'm filming, so I'm alive.
I can't give you any information, basically.
So she meant she was alive or her character? Her character's alive.
Okay, got you.
So that was all. She was like, I can't tell you anything more than that. So she's still filming alive or her character's alive? Okay, got you. So that was all.
She was like, I can't tell you anything more than that.
So she's still filming.
She's still alive.
And then we had a couple of other women who joined us.
One of them was like, oh, you guys talked about me on The Breakfast Club before.
Her name is Taylor Leanne Chandler.
She has a tell-all book coming out next year.
And she used to date Michael Phelps, the swimmer, Olympic swimmer.
But she is...
No, don't know her.
She's intersex.
What's that mean?
So remember when he got the DUI and got pulled over?
That's when the whole story came out about them dating.
So that means she was born with both a penis and a vagina.
Oh, hermaphrodite.
That's what we used to call them back in my day.
Right, that's offensive now.
Hermaphrodite is offensive?
Yeah.
Come on, man.
Stop it.
Stop, stop, stop.
She's intersex.
Where's the offensive handbook?
How all of a sudden is hermaphrodite offensive?
Oh, my gosh.
It's in the dictionary.
It's a word.
Yeah, but intersex, I guess, is different.
What's the difference?
I mean, I don't know the difference.
Right.
So when you tell me that a person was born with both sex, we used to call that a hermaphrodite.
Right, right.
So now I guess it's something else.
But don't say it's offensive.
I just don't know.
All right.
Well, anyway, she has a lot of celebrities So she actually named the names
Of different athletes
And you know
Entertainers
That she's been with
In her book
And she said she also
Didn't used to tell people
At first
So she was married six times
Only her last husband knew
But I guess now everybody knows
I'm confused
Like what is
You know
I don't really understand
I just want to talk
To the hustle gang this morning I'll learn about all of that later I don't really have my understanding. I just want to talk to Hustle Gang this morning.
I'll learn about all of that later.
I ain't got time for this.
And shout out to Alana Love, who was also a guest last night.
And that's it.
Yeah, I feel like I'm at Harvard talking to a bunch of millennials,
and they jumping on their Uncle Sharla for what he don't know.
Okay, I'll just learn later.
Jesus Christ.
Don't say the wrong thing, Sharla.
I can't.
You can't say it's the wrong thing if I simply don't know.
I know.
Come on.
You've been taught something my whole life, and all of a sudden, nope, that's not it anymore.
That's not what it's called.
I got time for that.
Now, you got front page news coming up next, but Hustle Gang is joining us this morning.
So that'll be T.I., Young Dro, Trade of Truth will be here, as well as Tokyo Jets and Transly.
I think that's a nice starting five.
That is the starting five for Hustle Gang, by the way.
Yeah, that's going to be fun.
I guess B.O.B. is the sixth man. Yeah. B.O. that's a nice starting five. That is the starting five for Hustle Gang, by the way. Yeah, that's going to be fun. I guess B.O.B. is the sixth man.
Yeah, we'll have a good time.
But we are going to talk about the slave trade in Libya.
Let's talk about it.
Okay, World's Most Dangerous won the show.
And this young lady is nominated for two Grammys.
Cardi B is the Breakfast Club.
It's not like I need the Grammys to validate anything.
Because I always tell people don't go with the flow, be the flow.
And it's like, don't go with the mainstream when we are the stream.
But it feels good to see Cardi B nominated for two Grammy Awards.
But don't think Grammys that Cardi is any cooler because y'all are cooler because y'all nominated her.
It's a difference.
Now, you got front page news?
Yes.
Talk to me.
Let's talk about the slave trade in Libya.
This has become actually quite a trending topic these past couple of days.
Now, these pictures have emerged,
and there was also a CNN investigation that produced footage of West Africans
being sold at slave markets in November.
According to reports, what happens is people are trying to flee from several African countries.
They fled war, they fled poverty, they're fleeing unemployment in their countries,
and they have to go through the desert, and they have paid smugglers to get to Libya
to try to cross the Mediterranean into Europe.
Now, the problem in Libya is that their system has failed there.
They don't have a real government right now.
And they're considering it a failed state.
There was a civil war back in 2014.
You know that's Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton's fault, by the way.
But I'll tell you all in a minute. Continue.
Right. So what happens is these people are getting to Libya.
There's no type of registration process for the tens of thousands of refugees.
And the detention centers are unsupervised in some parts of Libya.
There's stories of torture, rape, forced labor.
When the centers are getting too crowded, people are then allegedly sold off like goods in an open market.
So what people are doing is that they're using smartphones to connect with smugglers to get to Libya's coast.
And then that's where they're being sold, being held for ransom, or being forced into labor.
I would really like to see what President Obama and Hillary Clinton have to say about this,
because this is pretty much their fault.
Because under President George Bush in 2003, the U.S. negotiated an agreement with Gaddafi,
and the deal was that he would give up his weapons of mass destruction peacefully,
and the U.S. wouldn't try to depose him.
But for whatever reason, the Obama administration didn't stick to that deal,
and they went into Libya and overthrew Gaddafi.
And Barack said
that was the worst mistake
of his presidency
because they failed to prepare
for the aftermath
of ousting Gaddafi.
And they got him out of there,
but no new government
or regime took charge.
So chaos and civil war broke out,
which ultimately led to
people being enslaved.
Yeah, really awful footage
and to imagine that something
like this is happening today.
So I guess right now France's ambassador to the UN is urging that they impose sanctions Yeah, really awful footage. And to imagine that something like this is happening today.
So I guess right now the France's ambassador to the UN is urging that they impose sanctions on the people involved in Libya's slave trade.
So we don't even know if that's going to really do anything or not.
All right.
Let's talk about the Bellagio.
An armed robber held up the poker cage at the Bellagio Hotel and Casino. This happened yesterday afternoon around 3.45 p.m.
A white man wearing a mask quietly
walked over to the cage. He had a gun
and he demanded an unspecified amount of money.
That's the same place where they filmed Ocean's Eleven,
by the way. They had that whole elaborate
scheme and this guy just walks up with a gun.
Did he watch that movie one too many times?
You can't do Ocean One, bro. Well, he got away with it.
Really? The tellers
stayed calm, gave him the cash. He's still at large. They're still
trying to find him. Now, the actor
James Woods was inside the
Bellagio when this happened, and he tweeted about
it. He said, so we're playing poker at
the Bellagio, and a guy walks up with a gun
and robs the cage 30 feet from us 10
minutes ago. Bellagio staff were
fantastic. They surrendered the money quietly
so no customers would get hurt. Nobody even
realized it was happening. Excellent staff. Cool under pressure. I hope James Woods called so no customers would get hurt. Nobody even realized it was happening.
Excellent staff. Cool under pressure.
I hope James Woods called 911 before he decided to tweet.
Did you call for any type of assistance before you decided to tweet about the event?
Or was your first thought to tweet about it?
Yeah, I don't know. He said, you know, they did everything so quietly.
I don't know if he knew about it after or he watched it happen, but that's, you know. And right now, residents in Vegas are looking for a silver Chevrolet Cruze
with Nevada license plates.
They say that's what the suspect is believed to be driving.
What happens if you see something, say something.
It shouldn't be if you see something, tweet something.
Okay?
James Woods was not getting involved.
Jesus Christ.
He was in casino.
Now, we got to get it off your chest coming up next.

It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club.
Let's go.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed. Say it with your chest. Whether you're man or flesh.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
So if you've got something on your mind, let it out.
Good morning, who is this?
This is Mary. Hi, how are you?
Good morning, Mary. Tell us what you want to get off your chest this morning.
Alright, so let me tell y'all why I'm mad.
So I took my ex-boyfriend to the Jay-Z concert on Saturday.
4-4-4?
Yes, and we were very close.
We were, like, 15 in the lows. Like, we saw him. We were really close. And then the next day,
I find out he's cheating on me.
No! But first of all, it is your ex-boyfriend.
Yes. Oh, yes. Now it is.
The moment I found out, I was done.
I'm gonna tell you something, man. You gotta be a real piece of
pig-pieces to cheat on somebody after watching
Jay-Z apologize to Beyonce on stage, okay?
He Eric Benet'd himself.
You can't go Eric Benet the day after Jay-Z tells you not to go Eric Benet.
Now tell me how you found out he was cheating, Mary.
Well, so I clicked on his Tinder profile and he changed the bio and added pictures from when we were dating.
So I knew it was kind of all set.
Wow.
Yep.
And then I confronted him about it
and he said that he didn't use Tinder
and didn't know how those photos got up there.
Wow.
How did your boyfriend act
when Jay-Z performed the actual 444 song?
He was actually pretty boring the whole concert,
to be honest.
He was just kind of standing there
taking Snapchat for his story, you know?
See, he wasn't paying attention.
I was having a good time.
I was jamming along, dancing, singing the song. He was just so close. He wasn't paying attention. I was having a good time. I was jamming along, dancing, singing the song.
He was just so close.
He wasn't paying attention.
He was texting his other boos.
Probably.
Who knows?
After you watch Jay-Z perform 444, you would never want to cheat on your girl.
Because Jay-Z says, this is the most difficult song that I've ever had to perform.
And it really looks like it while he's performing it.
Now, Mary, are you going to take him back?
No, absolutely not.
All right, just asking.
It's only been one day. You can't be that way now. You can't go listen to Beyonce's Lemonade and maybe you'll reconsider take him back? No, absolutely not. All right, just asking. It's only been one day.
You can't be that way now.
You can't go listen to Beyonce's Lemonade and maybe you'll reconsider.
All right?
If Beyonce can take Jay-Z back, you can take your boyfriend back, okay?
But Lemonade came before 444.
That's the point.
Go back to listen to Lemonade and learn what forgiveness is, okay?
Maybe he'd have to get me Beyonce tickets for me to take him back.
There you go.
Now we talking.
Now we talking.
Have a blessed day, ma'am. You too.
No, all jokes aside, you gotta see Jay-Z
perform 444. It's hilarious. He looks sad.
He looks so sad. That's part of the
you bet. This is the part of the apology plan.
It's like a monologue. Listen, they had
this worked out. Every day you gonna
get on that stage and you gonna say I apologize
over and over. Dudes in the crowd be hugging
their girls saying I'm sorry. I was about
to apologize and I realized I ain't did nothing.
I'm not putting myself
in this situation.
Now, get it off your chest.
1-800-585-1051.
If you want to vent,
call us.
It's The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club.
This is your time
to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed.
Say it with your chest.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
So you better have the same energy.
Good morning, Mr. Pay It Forward.
Get it off your chest.
Are you mad or blessed?
I'm super blessed, man.
Listen, last Wednesday, thanks to Charlamagne and God,
I went and I hit the streets in Newark and Patterson and I fed the homeless.
And it was a crazier turnout than I ever could have expected it to be.
I got about 20 trays of food that was donated to me,
and Charlamagne hooked me up with a gentleman who came out and volunteered to drive me around,
and we hit the streets in Newark and Patterson and even some of the streets in New York,
and we fed the homeless, and it was a crazy turnout, man, so I'm just blessed.
Oh, good for you. That's awesome. I'm glad it all worked out.
I'm glad your dream became a reality, sir.
Yes, thank you, man. I'm glad it all worked out. I'm glad your dream became a reality, sir. Yes, thank you, man.
I appreciate it.
I just want a lot of people this week, I'm going to be handing out clothes to the homeless.
I'm going around collecting clothes and hand warmers and stuff like that so I can go give it to the homeless again.
I just want to encourage anybody who knows, you know, anywhere where homeless people are.
I know everybody has extra clothes and things they don't wear, things they don't put on, and they don't even think that someone else could use it.
I just want to encourage them to just go hand it out to people in need, man.
Hey, I rock with you, Manny.
Life gives to the giver, man.
Salute to you, my brother.
I appreciate you, my brother.
Yes, sir.
Good morning.
Who's this?
This is Clarissa.
Clarissa?
Yes.
Good morning, Clarissa.
Get it off your chest.
Good morning, everyone.
I want to tell everyone why I'm mad.
Why are you mad?
The reason I'm mad because my fiance,
his mama still calls him in the morning for work.
He go to work at 6 o'clock, and she's calling at 4 o'clock.
I'm like, Ma, like, he got an alarm clock set.
We got a time set.
Are you killing our sleep?
And I'm like, I'm just waking sure he up. I'm like, okay, he know a time set. Are you killing our sleep? And I'm like, she's like, I'm just waking
sure he's up. I'm like, okay,
he's no time to get up. We do this
every single day, and she calls every day.
And I be wanting to tell her off so bad,
but I say, that's my mama-in-law. Soon to be
mama-in-law. I'm not going to do it to her.
You're like, I got to hold that. Look here now, look here now.
You know my dog, you know my dog got to get up at 4 o'clock
because, man, if he get up any later, he probably going to run
late, man. I'm the same way.
It's the Geechee in us.

I don't care. You have to call that early.
Listen, it's the 843 in us, man.
I'm the same way. You see, I'm late here every damn
day. And I
get up at 420.
We love down the street and we got our
alarm set for 5 o'clock.
Well, now maybe y'all could get up.
By calling three times.
Y'all could get up a little earlier and get a little something, something before you go to work.
No, we get that way before that.
We need her to grind us.
Look at you now.
Y'all want to grind up early in the morning now.
You're going to rock up with each other early in the morning.
Hey, that's the motivation.
That's the motivation to go get it.
That's how we go get it every morning.
Hey, salute to the 843, man.
I love y'all.
All right.
Well, we do that every morning.
Get it off your chest.
If you want to vent about something, if you want to celebrate life, call us 1-800-585-1051.
We do that every morning.
You got a rumor report coming up next.
Yes, I do.
And we're going to let Q-Tip from A Child Called Quest tell you why he's mad.
And we're also going to let Chanel West Coast tell you what she's mad about as well.
One of these people I really hate that you're about to talk about.
I know it's not Q-Tip. It's definitely not Q-Tip. All right. I'm not going to say hate. Hate is a strong word. But I hate how she's mad about as well. One of these people I really hate that you're about to talk about. I know, it's not Q-Tip.
It's definitely not Q-Tip, all right?
I'm not going to say hate, hate is a strong word, but I hate how she acts.
There you go.
We'll talk about it when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club.
Hey, hey, hey.
It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God, Anjali Yee.
DJ Envy is still in bar, bar, spending change for change money.
Okay?
Okay.
Anjali, you got a rumor report coming up.
And she'll be talking about this young lady named Chanel West Coast.
This is the rumor report with Angela Yee.
Rumor has it.
On The Breakfast Club.
So listen up.
Do you have to talk about Chanel West Coast?
Well, yeah.
Okay.
All right, Chanel West Coast was trying to get in a club,
and things didn't go well.
The bouncer wouldn't allow her to jump the line.
He also told her he only let two of the people with her in,
and she had, I think, like six girls with her.
She also was with Apple from Black Eyed Peas.
Which looks bad on Apple.
Apple, why are you around Chanel West Coast?
He tried to get her away from the door, like, come on, let's go,
but she is not trying to stop going in on that West Coast. He tried to get her away from the door, like, come on, let's go, but she is not trying to stop going in on that doorman.
She also got upset because somebody asked
if one of the people with her was Lil Pump.
All right, here's what happened.
You'll never be more than security.
We got bitch.
Security loves to hold out whoever the fuck they can
because they insecure about their own life.
Wish you could be a little white girl rapping, bitch. to hold out whoever the f*** they can because they insecure about their own life.
Wish you could be a little white girl rapping, bitch.
You wish you could spit bars like me.
You wish you could be on TV like me, bitch.
F*** off.
I don't care who's filming me.
I came with eight f***ing hot girls,
Apple from Black Eyed Peas,
motherf***ing popping people. F*** off, bitch.
Go let in some irrelevant, bitch.
Some irrelevant escort type bitches.
I want to suck.
Hey, fart on Chanel West Coast's life.
On her life, okay?
Salute to that bouncer for doing his job, keeping thugs and riffraff out of the club.
And I don't wish violence on anyone, but Chanel West Coast needs to get beat up.
She got too mad about that.
She made too big of a scene with people filming.
And listen, all of that, you hate your job
to security. And gonna tell a big black
man you wanna be a little white girl? Listen,
you can tell people who have never been punched
in the face, okay? Chanel has never been punched in the face.
When you notice that it's threats of violence,
you move different. Now tell me, honestly,
Ye, when you see people act like that, don't you wish
somebody would just slap them one time? I hate
when people do that. You know who I am? Oh my
God. Especially when you ain't nobody.
Because if you somebody, you don't got to say you somebody.
Listen, if that happens to me, I'm going to just walk away.
I don't even want to go in.
All right.
Thank you.
Good night.
That's it.
I got a homegirl named Mae West in L.A.
I want her to put hands on Chanel.
Stop it.
Stop it.
But Mae just got a charge messing with Matt Bond, so we can't have that.
Yeah, we don't want to do that.
All right.
So if you have a chance to see that video,
make sure you check it out.
Now, Q-Tip is not too happy about not being nominated
for the Tribe Called Quest album at the Grammys.
You know, in particular, he's mad because he did go and perform.
He said, we closed your show out,
and they didn't get any nominations
because they performed last year shortly after Fife passed.
And here's what he had to say on social media.
Sick of y'all f***ing Grammy n****s, man.
Y'all f***ing butt and f***ing get us to get out there
and f***ing perform last year and close your s***.
Y'all don't get us no f***ing nominations.
9th, what happened?
We f***ing Polly in and doing all this s***.
You know what I'm saying?
I got respect for 9th and my man.
They was trying to get me to come out there
to vote in the rap category for some new s***
that they doing.
I ain't do it.
You know what I'm saying?
And we don't get shit for that album.
For that album.
Tired of biting my tongue all the time and trying to be nice and shit.
We'll drop on the Clues bombs for the God Q tip.
Look, it's always good when people from our culture are celebrated.
But the Grammys don't validate our culture at all.
The Grammys have been historically culturally clueless for a long time.
Some things they get right, some things they get wrong.
They absolutely got it wrong when it came to Tribe Called Quest.
Now, some people thought he had issues with 9th Wonder
because he addresses 9th Wonder and he clears that up as well.
Yeah, this is for my man 9th Wonder.
Shouts out to 9th.
There was no disrespect, man.
None of that's your n***a.
Stop it.
That's my man.
I was talking about me and him was pollying about what is, what is, what is, what is.
Just some other, you know what I'm saying?
Nothing to do with it.
Shouts out.
Love him.
Yo, where we got?
Fuck y'all Grammy.
Y'all niggas got me on my fucking mic after they snubbed that nigga for off the wall.
You get my thriller bag on y'all niggas.
Listen, they should try.
I'm number one in 10 countries and certified performing.
Y'all nigg'm snubbing.
I'll have to fight, though.
Man, f*** that grammy.
Tribe don't look bad.
It makes the Grammys look bad.
Right.
Okay?
Like, stop trying to go mainstream and realize that hip-hop culture is mainstream.
We control the crew.
Grammys look cooler when they embrace us, not the other way around.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Reports.
Yes, and we got the Hustle Gang coming up next.
Hustle Gang?
That's T.I., that's Young Dro,
that's Trader Truth, Newcomers,
Trans Lee, and Tokyo Jets.
We'll talk to them right after this. It's the Breakfast Club.
Yep, it's the world's most dangerous
morning show, the Breakfast Club. Charlamagne Tha God,
Angel Yee, DJ Envy is in
Bora Bora, spending all that change for change
money we raised last week. Don't say
that. That's not true. But we got
a very humble team in here.
The reason I say that they're humble, because this is the
Hustle Gang, ladies and gentlemen.
Now, T.I. and Young Dro have sold the most
records out of everybody.
We know the work Trader Truth has put in.
Transly and Tokyo, why are y'all sitting and they standing?
Because we're important.
Because they're clean.
Not to be honest with you, my coat
is so clean.
I don't want to sit this coat you, my coat is so clean.
I don't want to sit this coat down.
The coat don't got nothing to do with it because my coat. I need some bread for all this peanut butter and gin I got on.
Now I can derogue.
You know, it's just like, man, when you had to walk to the pencil shop
and then collect it before you could take your coat off.
Yeah, you want everybody to see what you're wearing.
Yeah, absolutely.
So now I can be seated.
You ain't got to do all that.
I can be seated. Yo I can be seated. You ain't got to do all that. You ain't got to do all that. I can be seated.
Yo.
Thanks.
These are my children.
But this is Trans League.
Yeah.
Tokyo Jets.
Yeah.
How does it feel being on this Hustle Gang promo tour?
It's like unreal.
I feel like I'm going to wake up because I'm dreaming.
I'm going to have to go to work one day.
Growing up, like, you know, being a big fan of Tip is just like, like you said, unreal to even be here.
So shout out to y'all, man.
Straight up.
I always tell all these new artists that are trying to get attention to keep on posting things online because you never know what could happen from it.
People are always like, oh, well, how do I get signed?
How do I get this person's attention?
I'm like, y'all got to work.
Y'all got to constantly be out there doing shows, posting things on YouTube.
Because sometimes people get discouraged.
You got to be moving.
Like, it's one of them things where you just can't stop.
Like, when people ask me, how do you get on?
Like, I met Tip through a barber just liking my music.
And she handed it to somebody who handed it to somebody.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't feel like it's no right answer.
It's no right answer.
Like, you just got to be doing stuff.
But the one answer is work hard and keep on working.
Yeah, absolutely.
Because people think sometimes, oh, I'm going to just send them a DM or I'm going to post to them on Twitter.
Wait, that can't work, though, because that's kind of what happened.
It works for you, though.
But you have to keep on working.
But you have to be good, though.
You had absolutely nothing to do with it.
It might have made you click on the message.
Let me see.
Let me see.
Hey, look, that's not true.
That's not true.
It was really the bars. But, no, he had commented on one's not true. That's not true. It was really the bars.
But no, he had commented on one of my videos before I DMed him.
It was really the bars.
Like, she was going hard.
She was going hard.
And she was saying stuff that, you know.
People didn't expect me to say.
Yeah, like, it wasn't sexually oriented.
It was more so the perspective of a female who who who were raised by a man of respect
you know what i'm saying so i had to pay attention to it but that's because of your upbringing too
though tokyo you're from a jack and kill right jack and kill yeah i'm from jacksonville how did
that upbringing affect what you what you talk about i mean that's what my music comes from all
my music is true like if it's if it's not something i've been through it's something
somebody around me been through
and I was close enough
to know every detail of it.
Little Duval takes a lot
of credit for you prospecting.
No, he won't take the credit.
Unless he's taking it
in front of you,
he won't take the credit
in front of me.
Oh, okay.
I mean, that's a,
and then, like, you know,
when I heard her
and her delivery
and her perspective,
it kind of,
it was refreshing because it's a sound that I haven't heard from a female in such a long time.
It kind of put me in the mind of like a Southern Eve, you know what I'm saying?
You could tell that she has sex appeal, but that ain't what she opening the door and leading with, you know what I'm saying?
So you got to respect it.
You didn't have a bit of taste in your mouth to push another female artist after what happened with Iggy Azalea?
No, man, not at all.
He made some money off that.
I mean, but that ain't got nothing to do with it.
I'm going to make money anyway.
I mean, like for real, every individual is responsible for their own actions.
Every individual will be held accountable for their own actions.
I can't take what one individual has done and how our situation turned out and apply that to the next.
Now, I'd like to see you and Trey also very inspirational, just really out there in the community, bringing attention to a lot of things.
You know, some artists feel like, I don't want to get political.
I don't want to voice.
Some do and some don't.
But I do love the fact that you guys genuinely are in the community and care about things and bring attention to it.
And don't hesitate, even with any type of backlash or people, you know, going back and forth with you.
Well, that's what I think.
That's what we need.
You know, we need more of that in our community.
I mean, regardless of which generation you come from, I think that our generation easiest ability to relate to the younger generation and to appeal to the older generations.
You know what I'm saying?
So we right there smack dab in the middle of it.
We got to use our voices, our influence.
For me, it's by doing enough good that I kind of like offset all the bad
that I did early on in my life.
Hey, man, you ain't my daddy, man.
You ain't my daddy. You're in my life. Hey, man, you ain't my daddy, man.
Not my daddy.
This is every day, y'all.
I hate to say it,
that's really the mentality you got, man.
Like, can't tell you
nothing like it.
If you ain't my mama,
I really ain't trying to hear
what you talking about.
I'm going to do what I feel
I want to do.
That's how we do.
I mean, that's how we been.
We were raised that way.
We got to take that,
forgive, excuse my language,
but that I don't give a attitude and apply it to something positive.
You know what I'm saying?
Because we had that attitude before.
We was just applying it to all of the negative,
just the horrendous things that we did in the past.
So now we're just applying it to positivity
and trying to, you know, uplift the community
and make it, give it a better chance of self-sustaining.
Trey, can you even focus on this moment, though?
Because you've been in relief game for the last
couple months. How easy is it to make
that transition to hustle game? Or is it hard?
I think
with that situation, you know,
at the end of the day, Houston's
suffering right now. Really, Texas in general
from Houston, Beaumont, Port Arthur, Dickinson,
Galveston. It's just like
me and Tip have conversations all
the time and I think everybody who really
supported me, even including you, everybody
understood. I kind of really just put the music
to the side for them. I mean,
I can't call myself Mr.
Houston or a big homie of the city
and then watch my people
suffer. So I kind of really
I ain't even been in the studio in months.
I don't know when I'm going to get back in it.
I might have to be with my confidence back up
because I'm so focused on what me and Mr. Rogers are doing.
But I just feel right now it's important.
And, you know, at first I kind of didn't agree with Tip
because we was talking and he was trying to tell me
I got a bigger mission and it's way more bigger than other stuff I got going on.
And, you know, at first I was like, yeah, I'm just, you know, I do this from the heart.
But, you know, I love my music.
But at the end of the day, I get it, you know, so I'm trying to just balance it.
So you were telling him not to rap to it?
Nah, I wasn't telling him not to rap.
He ain't gonna let him tell me that.
No, okay, okay.
I'm just telling him not to rap.
I'm just telling him, man, you know what I'm saying?
You got to take what the universe gives you.
You know what I'm saying?
The universe is giving you, showing you that your calling is service,
servicing the community rather than entertainment.
And you got to get to your service work.
You know what I'm saying?
You got to go ten-toe down and full steam ahead, the same way you would if an album was coming out. And I feel like that's what he's been doing. You know what I'm saying? You got to go ten-toed down and full steam ahead
the same way you would if an album was coming out.
And I feel like that's what he's been doing.
You know what I'm saying?
He's been relief-ganging.
Like, you know, that's a huge, huge movement
with a very significant purpose.
And you can't put that to the side for something as, you know,
I mean, even though, no matter how successful it may be,
it's going to make an album scene trivial.
You know what I'm saying? It's so many albums
coming out, so many people who get
entertained, but it ain't but one
more we do with Trey doing right now,
and that's him. It just feels like more
important work. We got more with T.I.
and Hustle Gang coming up next on the world's most
dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club.
We got T.I. and Hustle Gang in the building.
Now, Trey.
Trey, the truth is here.
Why did you decide to call out J.J. Watt?
At the end of the day, it's a lot going on in the city.
And a lot of people not touching the areas that we touching.
You know, we've been out there almost 95, almost 100 days straight easy.
And I went about it a different approach.
I reached out to, I tried to reach out to JJ.
Well, first of all, the topic of discussion is,
you know what I'm saying,
brother JJ had raised all that money.
$32 million.
$32 million.
More now, probably.
And Trey was rightfully interested in,
okay, well, where's this money going?
Because, you know what I'm saying, if you're interested in helping people that really need to be helped
and getting it into the homes and the hands of people who need it the most,
him and Mr. Rogers are the ones, day to day, out their boots on the ground getting it done.
So rightfully so, you know, bro reached out to him like, hey, yo, I don't know what you got going on,
but maybe we can join, you know, join together and get it done.
And it seemed respectful.
You did it in a respectful way.
In a very respectful way.
And, you know, he didn't respond.
And, you know, I said I was going to wait a few days.
I just wanted to see, because at the end of the day,
if we're doing it for the city and the state, I want to see it.
I don't want to deal with nobody who ain't genuine anyway.
So, you know, I felt that he was going to be genuine and reach back.
And he didn't.
And, you know, at the end of the day, I felt the city needed to know.
I let them know, hey, I reached out.
You didn't reach back.
So, you know, as far as everybody, how can I say?
Like people keep me and him both on a pedestal out there as far as helping the city.
But at the end of the day, they know what I'm doing.
With him, my whole thing is, okay, if you as helping the city. But at the end of the day, they know what I'm doing. Right.
With him, my whole thing is, okay, if you are helping the way you say you're helping,
I would rather you deal with the people themselves, you know what I'm saying, so somebody can show you the ropes of what's going on out here.
Ain't nobody from there.
Yeah, and can't nobody in the office tell you what's going on
because they ain't out here.
They going home today wiping kids every day.
If Beyonce can come to Houston and connect with you
and know that you know where the money
should go and who to help, then J.J. Watt should do the same.
Very simple, man. And
even to this day, he ain't reached out. So, you know, at the end of
the day, we still doing what we need to do.
And I think, you know what I'm saying,
I think that from what I got from
whatever his response was, it was more like
he was dealing with like big,
big corporations like the food bank
and you know what I'm saying?
And we all know from Puerto Rico,
from
Katrina, even
far back as Katrina, from
Harvey,
people like FEMA, people like
Red Cross, people like, we still
wondering. Where that money went.
So when you're dealing with people like that, you know what I'm saying,
it kind of put, it raised the antennas of us cynical thinkers anyway.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, okay, wait a minute.
Why would you be dealing with them if you know that it's already questionable?
Absolutely.
You know, how these funds are being dispersed.
If you're really interested in getting the materials and the resources into the hands and the homes of the people that need it,
why not deal with the person you see on TV every day?
You ain't no question who is out here sincerely working for the purpose of the people.
When I wanted to donate money, I ain't thinking nobody but Trey.
Yeah, I wouldn't put my money no place else.
And that's the reason why a lot of people be like, man, why y'all post so much?
But at the end of the day, I feel people need two things.
People need to see where their money was going, and they also need to see that it's a need.
Like, right now, it's still a need.
Like, me and Mr. Roger, we may be tapped out soon to where we ain't got a dollar left,
but we're going to still try and figure out whatever we can do.
And a lot of people, they don't have social media because there's a lot of elder people, a lot of undocumented people.
You know, they couldn't even ask for help point blank period because you stay in the chance of getting deported.
They're taking your kids from you, everything.
So it's like we focused on all the people that can't get the help. So that
was the reason why I be reaching out
here and there to different people. You know,
some people reach back. A lot of them
tend to feel like, hey, it ain't,
it's not affecting me directly.
And I told Trey what he needed to do was go
on here and start putting a list together
and tell people who ain't reached back out.
That's what I said.
Because there ain't no use in being out here, man,
trying to put your face in the place like you this and you that.
And you know what I'm saying?
You bought 1,000 chains and drive 50 million calls.
Then when somebody, you know what I'm saying,
reach out to you about something significant,
something that can help people.
And you know what I'm saying?
You act like you broke now.
All right.
That's the main reason for calling out, J.
You just want the money to go to the right place.
Yeah, I feel like, hey, I don't want your money.
You don't need to send nothing my way.
I just want to help you to understand the ways of Houston a little more.
And actually, you know, I would have brought him out there.
So you'll see it yourself and get your own opinion of what people are going through.
Man, I ain't never in my life think I'll see kids sleeping on molded floors or in tents.
Houston ain't no city for you to be sleeping in tents in the front and the backyard
because you can't go in your house.
You know what I'm saying?
So it's just a frustrating situation.
It's going to be air built up 10 years at the least for us to even slightly get back on track.
Man.
Now, how do you guys determine whose album's coming out when?
Because I'm sure everybody in Hustle Gang is ready to be up next
and drop the album after the whole Hustle Gang album
came out. Who has the hits?
Who's ready? This is what we
call, this is not a record label. This is
what we consider an institution of culture.
You know what I mean? So it's
bigger than just dropping albums
or whatnot. We really want, I want
something from the most
intellectual, introspective,
thought-provoking...
That'd be Transly.
Transly, B.O.B.,
who just dropped the Upside Down, by the way.
Oh, yeah. Shout out, Bob.
Why is he... Is he a part of Hustle Gang?
Absolutely.
Okay, I'll tell you.
He's all on the We Want Smoke.
Yeah, absolutely.
You ever want to tell him
to please stop putting out his...
No, I do not.
...crazy theories?
No, I do not.
That's him.
I want him to speak his truth.
That's him.
He said recently that he don't believe slaves existed because he never saw one.
Hey, listen, man.
Come on now.
You called out a lot of bull.
Come on now.
Listen, man.
Listen, listen, listen.
To be honest with you, a lot of the things that Bob speaks on, that's Bob's opinion.
And everybody in the world is entitled if
nothing else to an opinion that's true so let him have his opinion if you
disagree then don't subscribe but I think all of our theories and things
that we've been taught everything we've been everything we've been taught
everything we've learned should be challenged. Everything should be challenged.
Because nobody really knows.
Maybe not the thought of the action.
You said nobody really knows.
No, I wasn't talking about the slavery thing.
Now listen, I'm saying
maybe not the actual
act of slavery
but the way we know it
and how it happened,
where it came from,
how many people actually came from Africa versus how many people were already here.
You know, there are a lot of things.
And so even if he might have, you know, got a little far deep into the water with how he presented it,
it still raises a lot of healthy dialogue about things within slavery that we probably wouldn't be discussing if not that.
True, true.
All right, T.I., he really went to bat for B.O.B.
I like that.
I mean, man, you didn't say slavery don't exist.
This is family.
I do agree with the people who probably were here as well before they came from Africa.
I think, you know what I'm saying?
I mean, but I think all of these things, all of these things need to be challenged. Because we've been taught a bunch of bullshit, whether y'all know it or not.
We've been taught a bunch of bullshit.
Listen, man, this is revolt.
And we're trying to unlearn all this.
Yeah, man.
Amen.
And so I think that that's all of our collective and individual responsibility to ourselves and our children to find the truth and spread it.
You know what I'm saying?
And back to the hustle game.
Right.
We're an institution of culture.
And with an institution of culture, I think that, you know, from the most introspective intellectual rap to the most ratchet, you know, I guess, fun, good time having rap.
I think you got to have something from the high to high to the low to low.
We need all that.
You know what I'm saying?
And I think here at Hustle Gang, we are the only place you can come and get it all.
All right, we got more with T.I. and Hustle Gang coming up in minutes.
It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God, Angel Lee, DJ Envy is on vacation.
We got T.I., Trader Truth, Young Dro, Trans Lee, and Tokyo in the building.
Is the generational gap affecting Hustle Gang?
Because it seems to be this civil war amongst the youth and the elders in the game.
Like, do you feel like it's the elders are giving them a hard time?
Well, first, T.I., did you feel that resistance when you was coming up from the OGs?
Yeah.
I mean, well, not me per se, okay?
Because I was different.
I'm an old soul for one.
Plus, I grew up in New York, you know what I'm saying?
And you could rap, like rap, rap.
Yeah, I mean, and I did notice, you know, during my time, my tenure,
that there was older, predominantly East Coast rappers that were like,
yo, all these Southern,
what's with this Bama rap, yo?
You know what I mean?
So that was their version of trying to critique us
and trying to make us more like they were
or expecting something more like
that they were used to from their generation.
And now this generation, it's not regional.
It's more so social you know what i'm
saying how they dress how they act what they say what the the drugs they choose to use the way
their music is is is presented and i mean like the behind it with you can't nobody tell nobody how
to have their moment when i had my moment moment couldn't tell me what i should be doing
you could not tell me what to do this is my moment i worked hard for this moment and when you had your
moment could nobody tell you i just feel the same way about the youngsters and some i agree with it
and some i don't but at the same time if i don't like it i won't listen to it it's not for me to
say y'all should be this and y'all should be that. That's not my place, for real.
Yeah, and the other thing I think is a lot of cats be insecure, man.
They be worried about competition.
When you solid cats like us, it don't matter what the next person do.
Like, do you do what best suits you?
We're going to do, regardless of what you're doing, we're going to do us.
So, I mean, we tend to reach out to a little bit of everybody.
Y'all know I deal with all kind of artists. Like, I mean, we tend to reach out to a little bit of everybody. I know I deal with all
kind of artists. Like, I ain't never been one to
feel they need to be this way
or be that way. At the end of the day,
do what you got to do to take care of you and
yours, you know what I'm saying? And then, another thing is
when people complain about
this generation of rappers,
like, listen, bro, just like you have
a 21 Savage
or a Lil Pump or a Kodak Black,
man, there's also J. Coles and Kendrick and Transleaze out there.
You just got to find what you like.
Absolutely.
You just got to find what you like.
It ain't like it don't exist.
You got the largest variety of MCs out there right now for you to choose from
that suits your lifestyle.
Stop complaining about the stuff you don't like and just focus on the stuff that you do like.
And Transley, you scrapped me as one of the youngins that you don't even like a lot of this generation's music.
I mean, I like it, but I think it's for...
Why do you say this generation's music?
I think it's...
I'm just trying to...
It was bulls**t in every generation.
Don't you remember the bulls**t that came out of our generation?
But I kind of agree with
you though because I'm from the South so a lot of the stuff that
I like, those hip-hop purists
think is bulls**t. When I came
up, man, UGK
and Tuff and Tuff J
and Tuff JZ made
big pimping. Nobody up here.
UGK, what the f**k is that? Who is a pimp?
They booed outcasts at the Sauce Awards
in New York. The South got something to say.
The South got something to say.
You know what I'm saying?
I will say this.
Being from New York,
it also,
music was so regional back then
because we didn't have
the internet and streaming
and all of that
like we have now.
So everything was just
on the radio here,
what we heard.
So we didn't get that exposure,
I feel like.
And I do feel like back then,
you know,
hip-hop started in New York, and we were very
protective of it. And we didn't
get exposed to a lot of other stuff.
You know, if other genres, if other regions
hadn't come up, hip-hop would've really died.
Like, hip-hop would've just been based on New York
and New York artists. Hip-hop would've been dead.
That's real.
I think the South gave it a feeling.
And the West Coast.
West Coast.
You can't miss.
Yeah, shout out to Uncle Luke, man.
He was one of the prime users.
Them on concrete beats
coming from up here.
Sometimes people in the South,
you can't really vibe with that.
I think people like Cash and Tip
put real lyrics over vibing-ass beats, man.
You can't beat that.
And I think that's why the South
still winning.
Yeah, drum.
Yeah, drum.
Yeah.
But I mean,
truthfully, the world is smaller now because there's people, you can't even tell where they're from sometimes.
The internet.
It used to be people had a certain sound, but now with the internet and all of that, it's like music is just kind of more universal.
Well, I'll be honest and say, like, my first album, people didn't know where I was from.
Right.
And that pissed me off.
When I dropped I'm Serious, they were like, where is he from?
You know what I'm saying?
I'm like, man, I can't tell? He was on the album throwing a bag.
I know.
You know how the lack of
intelligence plagues the entertainment
industry. You know what I'm saying?
People just didn't know.
At least they acted like they didn't know.
That's why I went
so, so hard on trap music.
You know what I'm saying? I'm like, okay, this happened. They on trap music. You know what I'm saying?
I'm like, okay, this happened.
They definitely going to know.
You know what I mean?
But I think that right now, man, you just have to find what you identify with.
Right.
And I think there's a lot of dope artists out there, man.
I saw you comment on 21 Savage posing.
And I wonder, as an architect of trap music,
do you feel is it much of a difference between rapping about telling dope and rapping about using dope so they're both destructive to
the community sure but i mean they both exist okay like they both exist and as i've said numerous this culture, this music, this art form,
it originated from us speaking about the conditions of the environment.
You know what I mean? So all we're doing is speaking about the conditions of the environment.
If you don't want nobody to rap about using drugs, then the environment cannot consist of people using drugs.
Period.
Or selling them.
As long as that exists in the environment,
it will continue to exist within the music.
Ain't no way around it.
So while everybody trying to fix the music,
everybody think, okay,
if we get them to stop this in the music,
we can stop it
in the environment. No, it's the other way around.
Get out there and stop it in the environment
and then it will dissipate in the music.
Now, do you think it's disproportionate, the amount
of artists that are now coming forward
talking about dealing with things like depression
and addiction? Because I feel
like so many artists have dealt with things that we
don't even know about. Old topics,
though, if you listen to Starface.
Yeah, I don't know, man.
I empathize.
I'm sensitive to it.
But God gave every human being everything they need to overcome any problem that the earth can throw at them.
You know what I'm saying?
And when you get away from that and you forget that, I think that's what makes you weak.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, first of all, anything I'm hit with.
Yeah, a week without Jesus.
I know God can get me through a week.
Seven days.
You know what I'm saying?
Anything I can go through.
Anything.
You know the God who's in my life.
Anything that the earth or the universe could throw at me.
I know that through God and through the resources and the relationships that God and the experiences that God has blessed me to get through and have around me.
I can get through anything.
So I empathize and I, you know what I'm saying? I'm not trying to speak down on anyone else's
plight, but I
can't put myself in that
mind. How would you handle that with one of your artists?
What if you found out one of your artists was using
and then they started rapping about it and the music
heavy? Like, what
if? Oh.
My bad, bro.
My bad, bro. My bad, bro.
Hey, look around.
I'm going to win.
We're going to try to make this hypothetical?
You try to force this.
I'm going to win in the new ones.
The new artists.
Still, bro.
Man, listen, man.
One thing I ain't going to never do, man.
I ain't going to never try and tell you how to speak your truth.
That's not authentic.
That's it, Hustle Gang.

Yeah, man, we want smoke.

We're out right now.

The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club.
It's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God, Angele, DJ Envy is on vacation.
Angela Yee has her rumor report coming up next.
And another man's down because of sexual harassment.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor report, rumor report.
This is the rumor report.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Not Matt Lauer.
He just got fired over sexual harassment allegations.
Jesus Christ.
According to NBC.
Now, the NBC News president, Andrew Lacks, said on Monday night,
we received a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Lauer. He said that the allegation against him represented
after serious review a clear violation of our company's standards. As a result, we've decided
to terminate his employment. Here is Matt Lauer's co-host Savannah Guthrie announcing the news on
today. On Monday night, we received a detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate
sexual behavior in the workplace by Matt Lauer.
As a result, we have decided to terminate his employment.
While it is the first complaint about his behavior in the over 20 years he has been
at NBC News, we were also presented with reason to believe this may not have been an isolated
incident.
Our highest priority is to create a workplace environment where everyone feels safe and
protected and to ensure that any actions that run counter to our core values are met with
consequences no matter who the offender. Now there's a wall going on outside no man is safe
from okay now you mean to tell me the complaints came in Monday night and by Wednesday morning you
are wrapped I need to know how much investigation is going into these allegations because that don't
sound like much of an investigation. Now his co-host Savannah Guthrie also said that he was a dear, dear friend and she's heartbroken for the brave colleague who came forward to tell her story.
So she said it's part of a national reckoning.
She said, how do you reconcile your love for someone with the revelation that they have behaved badly?
If they are really investigating these situations and finding out these guys are doing these things fair.
But if this is just people getting fired because of hearsay, that's not right.
Well, we don't know all the details yet.
I know, but everybody deserves due process.
You don't think that's a fast investigation?
They come in Monday night.
I don't know if they had 24 hours and Wednesday morning, you're gone.
Well, what if they had some type of evidence video?
That's true.
We don't know.
We don't know the details.
And I'm sure those are going to come out.
But we do know that this investigation started Monday.
Today, he is fired, and I guess
they did, they said, a review
and decided, and he's been there over 20 years.
I'm sure they didn't want... That's what I'm saying.
I'm sure they didn't want to fire him, but maybe there's
some emails, maybe there's footage,
maybe there's messages. We don't know
what they have. If it's all of that, that's a quick
investigation. So let's not say what it is yet.
We just don't know. It could be, could be.
Hopefully it's all that because Jesus Christ.
Alright, Ryan Leslie is
going to be losing his entire music catalog.
Who did he sexually assault? At least
temporarily. He has agreed to give up the rights.
Now remember when his laptop got stolen
and he offered a $1 million
reward to whoever
found it? I thought you were saying he lost something
because he sexually assaulted someone. So then he got sued
for breaching that million dollar reward offer
that he made online after his laptop
got returned to him by Armin
Ogstein. And so now the jury
found him liable that he has to pay
$1.18 million in damages.
And then Ryan Leslie filed for bankruptcy.
So this guy's been trying
to get his million dollar reward ever since.
So now I guess the deal is that
he's entitled to receive up to $538,000 from Ryan Leslie's royalties.
And if that's after six years,
he hasn't made at least 300,000,
then he has those rights until he hits that mark.
So once he hits that mark,
then Ryan Leslie gets his catalog back.
Sheesh, that's why you can't just go online
and be promising million dollar rewards.
All right.
Now, the Meek Mill judge, as we all know,
Judge Denise Brinkley, who was sentenced to two to four years
after a probation violation,
according to new court documents,
he was trying to get a higher court to get him out of prison.
Now, the higher court did refuse to release Meek Mill,
but then they said that the judge has to get on board
and decide Meek Mill's fate without further delay.
So he's trying to get a bail hearing, and the judge has to do it ASAP.
Man, Meek Mill better stop playing with that judge
and go get him a root doctor and have the root doctor put that thing on her.
Put that root on that woman.
All right?
Stop playing with that lady.
You ain't got no Haitian aunts?
No.
Nothing?
By the way.
What's up, man?
Meek, come on, man.
YG also has just put out a new visual called Free Meek in support of Meek Mill also.
All right.
All right.
Now let's discuss.
Ben had to wear me on her.
Jennifer Hudson and David Atunga.
There you go, Atunga.
Exactly.
Jennifer Hudson and David Atunga, they have reached a temporary custody agreement.
Now, we told you the two of them have separated.
And they do have an eight-year year old son together. She was trying to
get a restraining order but she did
get that order of protection dropped.
Apparently now David is going to be their
son's primary caregiver because
Jennifer Hudson has a lot of traveling to do.
She's going to be doing The Voice and she's
doing The Voice UK so she's going back and
forth so right now he's the primary caregiver
so I guess she had to drop that order of protection
in order to make sure that
their son could be with the dad.
That's crazy. I always feel like both parents should be
equally involved. I don't think one
parent should have full custody,
especially when it's the father.
Well, primary custody. Primary custody. Okay.
Yeah, I mean, if she's doing a lot of traveling
and he's with the dad the majority of the
time, I'm sure she's still going to see him.
Or if the son knows, that's a little better.
Right.
Okay, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
All right, now, let's get into it.
Charlamagne, I saw a lot of people adding you yesterday,
asking you to give somebody donkey of the day.
I don't know if you're going to give it to that person.
I don't know who you're giving your donkey to today.
Well, I actually have a double donkey coming up.
Oh, that's sexy.
I feel like both of these individuals deserve donkey.
One actually has had a donkey moment.
The other is truly a donkey.
So I need Ben Gordon and Chanel West Coast
to come to the front of the congregation.
They were together?
No, but they are tonight.
I'd like to have a word with both of them.
All right, well, donkey of the day is coming up next
on The Breakfast Club.
Charlemagne, say the gang.
Donkey of the Day.
Charlamagne.
You are a donkey.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkey of the Day does not discriminate.
I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day.
So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the e-ball.
It's The Breakfast club, bitches.
Who's donkey of the day today?
Yes, donkey of the day for Wednesday, November 29th is a double donkey
because there's two people who need to get the credit they deserve for being stupid.
One is donkey of the day.
One is just a donkey, okay?
It's a difference, right?
Let me explain.
See, donkey of the day is a feature that gives people the credit they deserve for being stupid, right?
But we all have donkey moments.
But that doesn't make us a total donkey just because you had a donkey moment.
But some people are so consistently stupid that they are actual donkeys in the form of human beings.
And Chanel West Coast is the latter, okay?
But we'll get to her in a second.
First of all, Ben Gordon, former NBA player Ben Gordon,
was arrested in L.A. on Monday afternoon.
Now, according to TMZ, Ben Gordon allegedly beat up a guy at an apartment building
and left with several thousand dollars of his money.
Now, Ben Gordon went to the apartment complex where he used to live
in an effort to get his security deposit back.
I know that feeling.
Okay, I remember when I moved back to New York in 2010
and I was going to live in Brooklyn, Angela Yee's borough.
Yeah.
All right, and I put a security deposit down on this apartment.
And then I decided I didn't want to live in Brooklyn because parking sucked
and I didn't feel like I could hide in Brooklyn the way I like to hide.
All right, so I went to try to get my deposit back from that apartment complex
and they wasn't having it.
So I definitely acted like I could bring the ruckus.
What'd you do?
It's a little tough talking.
They gave me the deposit back.
But I didn't physically touch the guy.
It was all verbal.
But the moral of the story is
when you broke,
getting that security deposit back
can be a life or death situation.
It sure can.
So I understand Ben Gordon.
Ben Gordon allegedly put hands on the man.
So the man gave him some of his money back.
But after cops were called and came to the building, Ben Gordon allegedly put hands on the man. So the man gave him some of his money back. But after cops were called and came to the building,
Ben Gordon came back and demanded the rest of his security deposit.
But instead, he got arrested on the spot for felony robbery.
Now, why does this make Ben Gordon donkey of the day, y'all?
I mean, if you say you understand.
For one reason and one reason only.
He's 34 years old.
And he played in the NBA for about 10 or 11 seasons
and made more than $84 million during his NBA career.
I'm not counting nobody's pockets.
But if you're 34 years old and made $84 million in your life,
but now you're back living in apartments and beating up guys
to get your security deposit back, on a scale of one to Tyrese, you clearly wasn't managing your money correctly.
Okay?
It's the principle.
It's the principle.
No, it ain't the principle.
It ain't the damn principle.
You messed up your money, Ben Gordon.
So I need you to sit right there in the first pew of the congregation and wait to receive your hee-haw, sir.
Now, Chanel West Coast, I need you to come step to the front of the congregation.
I'd like to talk to you for a second, okay? I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of Chanel West Coast, I need you to come step to the front of the congregation. I'd like to talk to you for a second, okay?
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of Chanel West Coast, all right?
I feel the way that Meek Mill's judge feels about me towards Chanel West Coast, okay?
Chanel, don't text my phone later and try to explain, all right?
You have a terrible attitude, young lady.
I've told you over and over that it's a thin line between confidence and delusion, okay?
Chanel West Coast, you are delusional.
I don't know who gassed you up and told you that you are some A-list celebrity.
I don't know who gassed you up and told you that you are a dope rapper.
I don't think anyone ever told you these things.
I just truly believe that you hear voices in your head,
and they are telling you these things.
But I'm letting you know right now, that voice in your head is the devil,
and the devil is a what? A liar.
Okay? You are not famous.
You are infamous.
It's a difference.
You are not a dope rapper.
In fact, you are trash, garbage, rubbish, waste, debris, junk, scraps,
and whatever synonym they have for trash, that's what your bars are.
But I can deal with you being a trash-ass rapper,
but I can't deal with you being a trash-ass person, okay?
My grandma always told me manners will take you where money won't,
treat people the way you want to be treated.
You need to learn these things, OK, because Chanel West Coast was trying to get into some club in L.A.
And the bouncer did his job and didn't let her in because it's the bouncer's job to keep all the potential threats out the club.
And he must have felt your energy because he didn't let this thug Chanel West Coast in the club.
And when she was denied, she went full-blown privileged, entitled white girl.
Let's hear it.
You're a weak-ass bitch.
I waited here for seven hot girls for way too long.
Way too poppin' to wait to get a poppy.
It's more poppin' in my house, bitch.
Get the f*** out of here with your weak-ass.
You'll never be more than security.
Weak-ass bitch.
Security loves to hold out whoever the fuck they can
because they insecure about their own life.
Wish you could be a little white girl rapping, bitch.
You wish you could spit bars like me.
You wish you could be on TV like me, bitch.
I don't care who's filming me.
I came with eight hot girls,
Apple from Black Eyed Peas. Go let in some irrelevant escort type bitches that want to suck. Fart on Chanel West Coast's life, please.
Now, I don't wish violence on anyone.
But Chanel West Coast needs to get beat up, all right?
You can tell people who have never been punched in the face.
Chanel has never been punched in the face.
When you know that it's threats of
violence, you move a little different, okay? You can't
tell me you don't hear this woman
and not think to yourself, somebody please
slap her, alright? She deserves
a light drag. Just a light one, alright?
My thing is this. If a person gets hands
put on them and they still act and talk
like Chanel West Coast acted with that
I'm fine with that because she understands
the consequences of her actions.
Chanel doesn't realize how real things can get.
That's why she talking so reckless.
All right, she's delusional about her talent.
She's delusional about her level of fame.
And she's clearly delusional about her gangster.
And one good ass whipping will bring her back to reality,
at least about her gangster.
Okay, Chanel, do you realize a bad attitude
can literally block love, blessings, and destiny
from finding you? Alright, now I'm not the highest
grade of weed in the dispensary, but your attitude
is probably one of the reasons you haven't
succeeded outside of ridiculousness.
Okay? The only true disability in
life is a bad attitude, and you, Chanel,
are spiritually and emotionally
disabled. Alright? Chanel, a bad attitude
is like a flat tire. You won't get
far until you change it. Period.
Listen to your Uncle Charles of Chanel. I'm telling
you what you need to hear. Not trying to insult you.
Okay? One of two things is going to happen to you.
One, you're either going to change your attitude
and become a better, more likable person.
Won't make you a better rapper, but who cares about being
a good rapper? You need to be a good human being.
If you don't change your attitude, the second option
will be us watching a video of you online
getting beat up. I prefer option two, but for your attitude, the second option will be us watching a video of you online getting beat up.
I prefer option two, but for your sake, I pray you choose option one.
Or the next world star moment we see online would probably be about you.
All right?
Please give Ben Gordon and Chanel West Coast the sweet sounds of the Hamilton's place. Oh, now you are the donkey of the day. You are the donkey of the day.
Yee-haw.
Now, Angelia, you don't got no girls in L.A. that could beat up Chanel West Coast?
Now, I was about to just say something.
Okay.
Do not anybody put hands on Chanel West Coast.
I would hate for someone to go to jail for a situation like that.
Why are you getting in the way of what God
got planned for a person? No, do not do that.
We do not encourage. Let God
do his work. Who are you to be
jumping in the way of what God got planned for a person?
Nobody. Listen.
Don't get yourself in trouble.
I don't get in the way of what God
in the universe got planned for a person. Remember when you threw a drink on someone?
Woman in the club. I won't say who it is. I don't remember
those type of things. But you threw a drink on someone.
That was the old me.
Now, just throwing a drink, I think that's fine.
But don't nobody put hands.
I didn't throw a drink at her.
I threw a drink in the direction of her section.
It was the guys over there, too.
So whoever wanted it could get it.
All right?
That was a different.
You were the original Love & Hip Hop cast member.
I was a different human being then.
All right?
I was a different human being then.
I don't do those type of things no more.
Okay?
You could have been on reality TV.
Now, Angelique, you have ASC been on reality TV. Now, Angelie,
you have Ask Ye.
Yes, I do, Charlamagne. Thank you for a nice segue. Yes. If you need advice,
1-800-585-1051.
Call us up. I have some
people in my DMs right now saying
that they need advice desperately.
So call us up right now for Ask Ye.
It's The Breakfast Club.
The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club.
What's up? It's Angela Yee.
It's The Breakfast Club.
And that was a Notorious B.I.G. with Juicy.
And right now we are doing Ask Yee.
And we have Crystal on the line.
Hi, Angela.
Okay, the thing is, okay, me and my husband have been together for seven years.
We've been married for three.
And he, when I, basically when I first started, when we first started dating he worked at wendy's now he doesn't work at
wendy's anymore he works now for the government not government the county driving buses but now
he wants to work for the government the thing is each job that he had i've always assisted him
with resumes assisting him with the job applications and everything.
But now that he's wanting to go to the county, the government job, he wants to work for U.S. Customs.
That application is very difficult.
And he's looking at me to do the application.
And I'm trying to explain to him that I can't do the application because I don't want to do the application and get it wrong.
I'm only a room attendant at a hotel.
Like, I don't know how to do this application.
First of all, stop saying I'm only this,
I'm only that, okay? Because clearly
you're very smart. You've already gotten him two jobs.
So don't downplay yourself and your
intelligence. I have a lot of jobs. You said what?
But I have a lot of jobs.
Okay, so don't downplay your
intelligence and say I'm not. It's not government
jobs. Don't get
overwhelmed by thinking that you're not good
enough to help. First of all, the fact
that you've been the one holding him down
really like those are jobs that you got.
It's really what you've been doing. Yeah. You know,
even though he, and I think, I'm gonna tell
you this, like anything that my boyfriend
has to do, I always try to help him out as much as possible
because I want to, right?
That's the thing. He thinks I don't want to do it. I do
want to do it. I just don't want to mess it up
and he don't get the job because of me.
FYI, he should be doing it with you.
It ain't like you're going to sit there
and do the whole thing for him, right?
Isn't he sitting there doing it with you?
Yeah, he's doing it with me,
but he's not.
It's like we need somebody else there with us.
Like, I can't,
I don't know how to do this application.
All right, listen,
I don't know how difficult it is
because I've never seen this application,
but do you know somebody
that can come and help y'all?
Because you know what?
That's what I was telling him.
They have recruiters for this.
They have recruiters
that tell him about the job
and help him with the application.
And I'm telling him,
let's get a recruiter.
And he's like,
oh, you just don't want to do it.
And I'm like, that's not it.
No, you tell him,
I just want to ensure that you have the best possible chance at getting this job.
Thank you.
That's all.
And what you need to do is go ahead and call that recruiter yourself and make it happen.
Because I guarantee you, he's not going to turn it down when it's happening.
When you're like, okay, baby, let's go do this.
It gets furry.
Because when I suggested that, I said, okay, if I got to go to the airport itself and ask somebody that's a U.S. Customs officer and be like, hey, do you know what I can do to get my husband on?
He's like, oh, make sure you ask a U.S. Customs and not a TSA worker.
And I'm like, so what are you trying to say?
Am I stupid or am I smart?
You don't think I know the difference between the two officers?
I think the problem is that
we're arguing. Yeah, I think that you guys
are both just stressed out about this opportunity
because obviously you want him to get it really
badly. He wants to get it really badly
and sometimes we don't talk to each other and treat each other
well when we get a little stressed
or nervous about something. So it's important
for you guys to have that positive energy
and to make sure that you're supportive of him
but for him to also acknowledge the fact
that you are going well above and beyond.
Yeah.
And I want to ask you something, Crystal,
because I don't like how you said,
well, I'm just a room attendant.
You're doing all these applications
and doing all this for him.
Why don't you do it for yourself, too?
Oh, my God.
That's why I wanted to make sure Charlamagne is there
because I read his book,
and his book literally, I see myself as more, but I'm very self-conscious.
And I read his book physically, and then I listened to it while I'm at work.
I have the Audible app.
And his book made me ask my job for a promotion for a supervisor.
They denied me.
And they denied me because I wanted to, I think I emailed you about that.
They denied me because I didn't speak Spanish.
And then I just went out and I made my resume better for, like,
supervisor position, and I start my new supervisor position tomorrow.
Congratulations.
Yes.
Congratulations.
And I'm so nervous.
Thank you.
Thank you, Bunkino.
And you know what, babe? There's nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong with being nervous. Thank you. Thank you, Bunkino. And you know what, babe?
There's nothing wrong with
being nervous, okay?
Sometimes we feel like we shouldn't be,
but when we have great big things happen in our lives
and we get the little nervousness,
there's nothing wrong with that. We all get nervous.
It don't matter who you are. I'm so nervous.
I'm so nervous of messing up.
It really does something to me
when I mess up. And don it really does something to me when I, you know, mess up.
And don't be afraid to ask for help when you're at work or anything in life, okay?
Yes, that's what I'm learning that I'm doing it.
So, I'm going to start this, and hopefully I'll make him listen to it later,
and he can understand it.
It's not that I don't want to help.
It's just I don't want to mess up, and I want the best for both of us.
Okay, but whatever is meant to be will be,
and all you can do is do your best to make things happen.
That's all.
That's all I have.
All right, Crystal.
And remember, even if things don't work out the first time,
that don't mean it's over.
Keep going.
Everybody didn't get told yes the first time.
Everybody didn't get that job the first time.
Okay?
Yeah.
I got it.
Alright, Crystal. Congratulations to you, though.
Thank you. Bye.
Bye. Well, thank you, Crystal, for reading
my book, Black Privilege Opportunity. It comes to those who
create it. You can go pick that up wherever you buy
books right now. And we're still in the middle
of ASCII, so if you want to ASCII anything,
call it right now, 1-800-585-1051
if you need advice about anything.
Let me rephrase that. Not ask her anything.
If you need advice about anything.
All right?
It's The Breakfast Club.
It's The Breakfast Club, and we are doing Ask Ye.
Now, who do we have on the line?
Jasmine.
Jasmine, what's up, girl?
What's your question for Ask Ye?
Hi.
Okay, so recently, me and my husband, we took over our stepkids, my stepkids.
And my stepdaughter has been
acting out a lot more in school now we let her mom her mom come and see her and ever since then
it's been bad her mom had um abandoned her about two years old so we had her back and forth between
two and now she's like seven and my question is she's been acting because she sees her
and we're like,
we're not sure if we should
because every time she comes,
she disappears
and we have to pick up
the pieces of
why mommy's not here,
why mommy doesn't love me
and et cetera.
Right.
And that's a hard thing
when you have a parent
that is in and out
of the child's life
and then when they do show up,
it's exciting for the daughter,
but then when she's gone,
it makes things even worse than when the mother was there.
But I will say that I do think it's important to try to establish.
I guess she's not willing to establish no type of routine.
No, we tried endless things.
Like, she doesn't get along with me.
So we, like, asked, do you want us to send her to, like, her grandmother?
And you guys meet up like that.
Anything to try not to cause too much of a scene but that hasn't worked either she'll say she'll
come and then it'll be five o'clock ten o'clock and you know she has school the next day so she's
crying late at night and then we have to pick up the pieces and she's seven so she knows her mom
she knows i'm not her birth mom and it's you know and she knows her mom. She knows I'm not her birth mom. And it's, you know.
And she knows that you guys love her, but no matter what, for a child,
you don't know how that can affect them, those feelings of abandonment,
those feelings of somebody not coming through on their promises
and feeling like my mom just doesn't want me.
And all you can really do is be as supportive and loving as possible,
and I'm sure your husband is as well.
Yes.
She doesn't want her to see him at all.
But me personally being a woman and a mom, I want her to establish that relationship with her mom.
It's just, you know, the holidays are coming up.
I don't want her to be disappointed sitting around waiting for her and she doesn't show up.
And then, you know.
Yeah, I think what maybe you need to do is, and I do this sometimes, is that I have a good friend that had an issue like that as well, where, you know, she had a daughter and the father would always be saying he was going to come and see her and bring her presents and never show up.
And her daughter would be sitting by the window all night waiting for her dad to show up and he just wouldn't show up.
And he did that like multiple times, but she still kept trying to get it right.
I'm sure the mom is not willing to go into any type of counseling or anything.
Parenting, counseling or nothing.
No, she declined that after previous court situation.
They said it was up to us, our discretion if we allow her to see her.
And I didn't want to deny her that because she was so young.
And you also don't want later in life for the mom to be like, well, I was trying to see you, but they wouldn't let me.
Exactly.
You know, all I can say is, man, when the mom is not reliable, you know, maybe not tell your daughter that she's coming.
And then if she does show up, great.
And if she doesn't, she'll never know that she was supposed to come at all.
OK, yeah.
I mean, I know it sucks, but I also agree with you of not wanting to deny the mom the right to see her daughter.
But you don't want your daughter
to get her hopes up
and all you can do
is treat her like she's your own
which I'm sure you do already now.
Yes, all my kids are spoiled.
Right, and you know
just be as loving to her
as you possibly can
and be as understanding.
Let her know
anything she wants to express to you.
She could always talk to you about it.
Let her know that it's not her fault
that her mom acts like this.
It's that her mom has issues.
It has nothing to do with her.
Okay.
You know, but I would just not tell her.
And then if the mom does show up, oh, my God, surprise.
And if she doesn't, then you never knew she was supposed to be there in the first place.
Yeah.
All right.
I'm so sorry to hear that.
Hopefully she can get it together because I don't understand how anybody could treat their child like that.
I don't understand how a mom could.
A mom or a dad, really.
Yeah, I know. I feel you. Okay. Thank you so A mom or a dad, really. Yeah, I know.
And thank God for you.
Yeah.
All right, that is Ask Yee.
Now, again, you can always call us up.
We do this every Wednesday and Thursday, or you can always email me, helpmeyee at gmail.com.
Now, you got a rumor report coming up, Yee?
Yes, and we have a surprise guest calling in.
It's not a surprise anymore.
Who is it?
But Bruno Mars is going to be on the phone with us, and he has a big announcement, because tonight's a surprise guest calling in. It's not a surprise anymore. Who is it? But Bruno Mars is going to be on the phone with us,
and he has a big announcement because tonight's a big night for him.
I'm not excited about that.
And the reason I'm not excited about that is because Bruno Mars
has never brought his ass to the Breakfast Club.
So I don't give a damn about no funky-ass phone.
Well, hopefully he will soon.
But you know, Bruno Mars be super busy.
I can't lie.
He's always on tour.
I'm busy.
You busy too, ye.
But he be on tour.
He's not even in New York ever.
I've seen Bruno Mars in this building.
I've walked right by him.
I haven't seen him.
In the lobby of this building coming to visit somebody else, okay?
Well, damn.
All right, Bruno Mars.
Well, I guess you will be held liable this morning.
But we're still going to talk to him, right?
I guess.
I went to his first show ever in New York City.
The first time he ever performed in New York.
He's just a great performer.
Very talented guy who's never been to the Breakfast Club.
Yeah, that's it.
Yes.
All right, the Breakfast Club.
Bruno Mars up next for Rumor Report.
The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
It's the Breakfast Club.
We got Bruno Mars on the line.
What's up, Bruno?
Hi, Angela.
How you doing?
Bruno, you on a boost mobile, man?
Your phone sounds horrible.
You good?
My bad. I'm in Chile right now, man? Your phone sounds horrible. You good? My bad.
I'm in Chile right now, man.
So I'm hoping the reception's all right.
You don't got to show off and tell us where you at.
That's where he is.
Come on, let me do that.
Let me do that.
I'm international.
We know you're getting money.
Salute to all your Grammy nominations, too, sir.
Thank you, man.
Appreciate it.
Do you even care about that kind of stuff at this point?
Oh, man, it's awesome.
You know, you can't
Take that stuff for granted
At all
How hard I worked
On this album
The fact that it's
Being recognized like this
And people come to the shows
And dancing
And being nominated
In these categories
It's incredible
He also won five
Soul Chain Awards
Come on man
Blow me up
What was the intro
Like y'all didn't even
Know like intro or nothing
You know why we
Ain't giving no damn intro
Bruno
Cause you ain't never Been to the breakfast club, okay?
He's in Chile.
I'm fine, man. Listen, let me tell you something.
I'm fine, man. I haven't had a week off
in over a year. Based out of my
tour, I'm just singing every night.
I promise y'all I'm going to come down there
and we can chat.
And by the way, you don't need no introduction. You're Bruno Mars,
sir. I mean, come on. He still wants a nice big
introduction. Now, what are you, Bruno? I've, come on. He still wants a nice big introduction.
Now, what are you, Bruno?
I've always wondered that.
I was going to wait and ask you that when you come here,
but what's your nationality?
You could have Googled it.
Yeah, Google that.
Every time I Google it,
the only thing that comes up is the Shoney's mascot.
Well, congratulations also.
Now, I love the fact that you came to the Apollo Theater to do your first television special.
That was so special.
I grew up watching Showtime at the Apollo.
People don't understand that before American Idol,
before X-Factor and all these singing competitions,
you know, that was Showtime at the Apollo.
And that stage is built, you know,
it has the mentality of what I preach to my band
and just in life when it comes to entertainment.
Where you go up there, if you kill it, the Harlem audience will let you know.
And if you go out there and blow it, you're getting the fan man coming out
and you're getting booed off stage.
You damn right.
It's a very entertaining 101.
And it would be much easier for me to just throw some cameras up at one of these concerts that we're performing at.
But I wanted to do something new and special and hopefully make it a little more intimate for the viewers at home.
And the Apollo Theater was just, it was magical.
As soon as I walked in the building, I was like, man, this is where it had to be.
Did you rub the log?
Absolutely.
Word. Now, Bruno, I'm going to be honest with you, man, this is where it had to be. Did you rub the log? Absolutely. Word.
Now, Bruno, I'm going to be honest with you, man.
We're happy that you called from Chile,
but I'm not going to sit on this phone and act like I want to talk to you
because I'd rather talk to you face-to-face.
I hate phone calls.
Me too.
I do.
I'm going to be honest.
I'm happy you called, but I'm like, I don't want to talk to him over the phone.
And, Bruno, I just want to say I'm excited to watch this special.
You are definitely, and I can, with no
hesitation, I think, unanimously, people
would say one of the greatest entertainers that we
have right now. Thank you very much.
Now, I'm going to be honest. I don't know if
you're better than Omarion,
but you're good. Omarion's a killer.
I don't know. I think he's a killer.
See, Charlamagne tried
to set you up to say something crazy.
Bruno's not falling for it.
He's a well-seasoned performer.
He can do this.
Do you think you're better than Miguel, Bruno?
Charlamagne, come on, Charlamagne.
What you got?
Bruno, you think you're better than Miguel?
Miguel, cold-blooded, man.
Charlamagne, is this what you're going to do on the phone?
Is this what you're going to do on the phone?
Yes, yes, because I don't like phone interviews.
I know you ain't trying to battle me in dancing.
Oh, he's going to kill you.
Bruno, bye. Have a good day, okay?
I'm tired of talking to you on this phone, all right?
I can't wait to see you when you come back to New York.
Let everyone know. Let everyone know.
My special's live at the Apollo, 10 o'clock on CBS.
On CBS.
There you go.
That's how we know you're getting money.
When you get on the white network like CBS for a music special,
congratulations to you, Bruno.
I appreciate it.
Thank you, Solomon.
All right, brother.
Good talking to y'all.
Bye, Bruno.
I don't have interest in talking to people who've never been to the show.
When Bruno comes to the show, then me and him can have a real conversation, giving us some little funky phone call. All right, brother. Have a good talk with y'all. Bye, Bruno. I don't have interest in talking to people who've never been to the show. When Bruno comes to the show, then me and him can have a real conversation,
giving us some little funky phone call.
All right, well, I have an update for you about Matt Lauer.
Now, we told you earlier that he was fired from the Today Show.
Well, now we have more news about it from Page Six.
Now, the sources told Page Six that he allegedly sexually assaulted a female NBC staffer
during the Rio Olympics.
The staffer has not yet been named.
She does wish to remain anonymous, but she complained to her bosses,
and that's what prompted them to move fast and fire him.
So there were rumors about Matt having affairs with subordinates at NBC for years,
but those were believed to be consensual.
This incident in Rio was not.
That's according to the source.
Well, that makes sense.
And they said the New York Times was rumored to be putting out an article about him soon, right?
Yeah, they actually said there were several outlets that have all kinds of information about him
that they were planning to put out sometime soon.
There were numerous news outlets working on stories about his alleged sexual misconduct.
I have no problem with that, as long as the investigation is thorough.
It sounds like they did a thorough investigation,
because the way it was reported initially was...
We didn't know anything about it. Yeah, complaint came in
Monday night, Wednesday morning, he's
fired. I'm glad to
know that they actually did a thorough investigation.
Right, apparently they've been knowing about
some type of misconduct for some time
now and I guess this just kind of
put the icing on the cake. But we'll see.
As you can see, throughout the day I'm sure
more updates will come in. Hey man, I feel
sorry for all you dudes out there.
I hope that y'all was keeping y'all noses clean.
If you didn't, bye-bye.
And I'm not mad at the ladies because this is going to change the culture of that industry for a long time.
Forever, actually.
You know, is it surprising that all the things that women have to deal with?
I always say, like, people act like it's so equal.
But women really deal with a lot.
That sometimes.
We don't even speak on.
And as you can see.
A lot of these women.
Dealt with stuff for decades.
Well.
The music industry is next.
I just want y'all to know that.
Alright.
That's already started.
Don't think.
I know you read them.
Russell Simmons allegations.
And Russell ain't gonna be the only one.
But I'm saying.
It's already started.
It's gonna be.
Listen.
It's been a lot of anus tampering.
That's what happened with L.A. Reid.
Yeah.
That too.
It's only gonna get worse.
Trust me. Alright. Well. That is your rumor report.. Reid. Yeah, that too. It's only going to get worse. Trust me.
All right.
Well, that is your rumor report.
And again, thanks to Bruno Mars for calling us up.
Make sure y'all check him out tonight on CBS on his special at the Apollo.
Everybody at Revolt, goodbye.
We're not going to be here tomorrow, but we will be back on Friday.
Yes, and DJ Envy is coming up next with the People's Choice Mix.
I don't think Envy should be allowed to mix when he goes on vacation.
Listen, I got this.
Especially, don't he talk during it?
I'm a buff business.
Is he talking during it? Is he talking during it?
Does he talk during it?
Yeah.
And he'd be, yeah.
All right, whatever.
Do you, boo-boo.
All right, it's the world's most dangerous morning show, The Breakfast Club.
People's Choice Mix up next.
Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine.
I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my god.
