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.

Just go with it.
Go with it.

Try this again.
Good morning, USA. All-Star, and of course, last night was the Global Spin Awards, which is the award show for DJs. Another unofficial Negro holiday this weekend, NBA All-Star.
But I saw you won.
Yeah, I picked up one award.
I got another piece of hardwood I picked up for our mix show on The Breakfast Club.
It won the best mix shows out of every DJ in the country.
Damn, they gave you an award for playing the same songs over and over?
Well, that's not in my mix.
I don't know what you've been listening to, but not in my mix.
But we actually break records in my mix.
Oh, okay.
So I picked up one award last night.
Dave Chappelle actually presented me with the award.
So that was pretty dope.
The first person I asked him to come on the show.
Did he know who you were?
Of course.
Don't say of course.
Have a little humility, sir.
Does that mean he doesn't get along with Chris Rock to actually do something with you?
He didn't do anything with me.
He was just presenting an award.
That's all.
But it was a dope award show.
The whole No Limit performed.
Master P, Silk the Shocker.
Mystical lost a lot of weight.
I saw some video online of that.
Mystical looked like he weighs maybe about 155 pounds.
That's a good fight, boy.
Yeah, he performed and killed it.
I'm trying to think who else.
What did Dave Chappelle say when you asked him to come on The Breakfast Club?
He was like, soon.
I don't know if I'm quite ready for that yet, but soon.
And I asked him on the mic.
I was like, so Dave Chappelle, when you come on The Breakfast Club?
That's my first question.
He was like, soon, soon, soon.
He had a jam session or something out there, right?
Solange did, yeah. She had a jam session or something out there, right? Solange did, yeah.
She had a jam session.
I thought Dave Chappelle did, too.
No, I've seen Solange's.
I don't know if Dave Chappelle did.
You should have told Dave
all his guys have been here.
Neil Brennan's been here.
Donnell Rollins has been here.
Charlie Murphy has.
Didn't Charlie Murphy
call us one time?
Charlie Murphy been up there
one time, and he did call
one time.
Yeah, who else?
Chris Rock's been here.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah. I don't know. I definitely tried. I don't know what's going on in here. There's he did call one time. Yeah, who else? Chris Rock's been here. Mm-hmm. Yeah.
I don't know.
I definitely tried.
I don't know what's going on in here.
There's a mess around my desk.
There's all kinds of papers.
What's new, yeah?
Like, who did this?
What's new?
You act like this place is ever clean.
Well, Trey Songz will be joining us this morning.
We'll kick it with Trey in a little bit.
Yeah, not just Trey Songz.

And also, let me shout out Fat Joe and Remy Ma.

Oh, yes.
Absolutely.
Yes, yes, yes.
So what's been going on with you guys out there, man?
The weather out here is beautiful.
It's about 70 degrees.
Hey, hey, hey, we don't have to make small talk.
Hey, hey, we don't have to make small talk.
I'm just asking.
We got a show to do, sir.
Okay.
Front page news is up next.
What we talking about, Yee?
Man, we got to talk about Donald Trump and his press conference that happened yesterday.
All of the claims that he made, some of them not true.
And yeah, it's a mess.
Just like he said, he inherited a mess in this country.
I got to talk about it.
I took a picture with an artist yesterday,
and they forgot to wipe the Coke out their nose,
so they still had the Coke running in their nose.
You lying.
I hate when that happens.
Who was the artist?
I'll tell you about it when we come back.
Did you post it?
Good morning.
I didn't post it, but they did.
Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club.
Before we get in front page news, of course,
it's time to tell them why you're blessed.
If you feel blessed, we'd love to hear from you this morning.
Blessings upon blessings upon blessings.
Tell us some positive things in your life.
800-585-1051.
But right now, let's get in some front page news.
Now, this weekend is All-Star Weekend.
It seems like everybody's flocking down to New Orleans.
Yes, they are.
It's an unofficial Negro holiday.
It's a lot of those in the month of February.
CIAA weekend, All-Star weekend, Super Bowl weekend, all unofficial Negro holidays.
A lot of people are hitting me up thinking that I'm out there with Envy right now.
DJ Clue just hit me.
Rap just hit me.
Everybody's like, hey, how's the club going?
How's Masquerade?
Like, guys, our party's on Sunday together.
Yeah, but I had a party there tonight.
That's why they probably came.
I'm not everywhere that Envy goes to party.
You know, the funny thing is
there was a lot of females in the club
and they had no idea who the basketball players were.
DeAndre Jordan was in the club.
Draymond Green was in the club.
Charles Barkley was in the club.
Nobody was even paying.
They didn't even know who they were.
That's the beauty of being tall in New Orleans this weekend.
All you security guards who didn't make it in life
put y'all down in New Orleans and you're over 6'6".
You can come up pretending to be a basketball player this weekend.
And by come up, I mean, you know, get some vagina.
My goodness. Now let's talk Donald Trump.
Well, Donald Trump had a 77-minute press conference yesterday.
The point of that conference is he was supposed to be talking about appointing Alexander Acosta for Labor Secretary.
But it turned into him talking about all the accomplishments that he's made so far, even though he says he inherited a mess.
As you know, our administration inherited many problems across government and across the economy.
To be honest, I inherited a mess. It's a mess at home and abroad.
That's actually not true, though. Barack Obama inherited a mess
when he came into the White House in 2009.
Now, he said a lot of things
that weren't even true, as usual.
He talked about the electoral votes that he had,
saying that it was the most in quite some time.
I think he said since Ronald Reagan,
but that just wasn't true.
That wasn't amazing.
In fact, Barack Obama got more votes,
Bill Clinton did, George Bush did.
We don't have that audio?
We probably do, yeah. I think we do.
You said today that you had the biggest electoral margin since Ronald Reagan with 304 or 306 electoral votes.
In fact, President Obama got 365.
Well, I'm talking about the president.
The president, Obama, 332, and George H.W. Bush, 426.
So why should Americans trust you?
Well, no, I was given that information.
Why should Americans trust you when you accuse the information they receive of being fake when you're providing information?
Well, I don't know.
I was given that information.
But it was a very substantial victory.
Do you agree with that?
Oh, my gosh.
Who is working here?
Thank you.
I love the fact he came clean, though.
I just love the fact he was like, look.
I don't know.
Someone put this on the paper.
I was given this information.
See, the thing is, we always have heard that presidents are puppets.
We're just not supposed to see the screens.
We see the screens and the hand up Donald Trump's ass.
Well, he also talked a lot about how the news, of course, is fake news and so on and so forth.
And he says that he's not racist, despite what you might think.
Number one, I am the least anti-Semitic person
that you've ever seen in your entire life.
Number two, racism.
The least racist person.
In fact, we did very well relative to other people
running as a Republican.
Quiet, quiet, quiet.
Damn.
If you have to say you're anti-Semitic
and you have to say you're not racist,
you're probably racist.
You know what's so funny?
So then, an
African-American reporter,
April Ryan, got up to ask a
question about the Congressional Black Caucus
and he assumed that she's
part of that or could set up a meeting. Here's
what happened. Are you going to include the
CBC, Mr. President, in your conversations
with your urban agenda,
your inner city agenda, as well as
Are you going to include the Congressional Black Caucus
and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus?
Well, I would. I tell you what.
Do you want to set up the meeting?
Do you want to set up the meeting?
No, no, no.
Are they friends of yours?
I'm just a reporter.
Set up the meeting.
I know some of them, but I'm sure...
Let's go set up a meeting.
I would love to meet with the Black Caucus.
I think it's great, the Congressional Black Caucus.
I think it's great.
He said who?
By the way...
What?
By the way, when Donald Trump...
I don't play basketball. By the way, when Donald Trump... I don't play basketball.
By the way, when Donald Trump
met with Kanye West, Steve Harvey,
Jim Brown, and whoever else,
I said verbatim
when people were saying things like why he doesn't meet
with Representative John Lewis or somebody from the
Congressional Black Caucus, I said he probably
has no idea who these people are
to meet with them. He just learned about it.
I said that verbatim a month ago.
You can tell this man,
he's a celebrity in chief.
He has no idea
what the Congressional Black Caucus is.
Well, everything was a mess yesterday.
He thinks Frederick Douglass is alive.
If anybody had a chance
to see that press conference,
it's embarrassing,
to say the least.
There's a lot more that happened, but...
You know Omarosa had ran up on April Ryan
and told her that
Donald Trump is
keeping tabs on all black reporters who say something
negative about him, so she need to be careful?
Yeah, Google it. Google Omarosa
versus April Ryan. It's an article
on CNN Money right now.
That's crazy.
That's one-page news. This is crazy.
Now, tell them while you're mad.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent, call us right now.
We'll put you on the air, let you vent a little bit so you can have a great weekend.
And also, Trey Songz will be joining us next hour.
And then after that, your dinner.
So keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.

It was beautiful, but Christmas is over And I can't afford 12 days of Christmas, and I told the Christmas over what you did for your wife. It was beautiful, but
Christmas is over, and I can't afford
12 days.
You could do it 12 days of Christmas, just do it on your
budget. Yeah, do it your way. You don't gotta
necessarily buy the things that I buy. You could buy small
things, gift certificates. You could make things.
You could buy small things from the dollar store. Whatever
you can afford. I told her
that. Believe me, brother, I told her that.
Nah, you gotta do just what Envy did. You better not. No, I ain't gotta do that. I told her that. Believe me, brother. I told her that. Nah, you got to do just what Envy did.
You better not.
No, I ain't got to do that.
I told her I ain't Envy.
I like Envy, but I ain't Envy.
That's all.
Tell her you don't do what Envy does.
Or maybe we could just do two days of Christmas.
Nah, you just do what you can afford.
Ball on your budget, man.
There you go.
Hello.
What's up?
It's the Breakfast Club, right?
The last time I checked.
Yep, this is Jeff from the Bay Area.
I'm mad because I'm not going to the All-Star weekend,
man. Why? You want to go out there and be a thot?
Nah, man. I just want to enjoy
myself. When I'm young, I ain't got no kids,
man. Now's the perfect time to do that.
Who you trying to bag? Draymond Green? Who you want?
Oh, man. I ain't trying to bag no niggas.
Get out of here with that, Charlamagne. I'm just
asking. What you want me out there so bad for?
To meet all the women. Nah, you might, but nah, you the one, Charlamagne. I'm just asking. What you want me out there so bad for? To meet all the women.
Nah, you the one, Charlamagne.
You kind of like a mentor, bro. I like you, Charlamagne.
So you want to bag Charlamagne?
Charlamagne, you the one, Charlamagne.
Well, if I'm a mentor, I'm going to tell you, man, you ain't got no business at All-Star Weekend
unless you get in a chat.
I respect that.
I wouldn't say that.
I wouldn't say that.
So why are you down there?
I'm down there working. So why are you down there? Why are you down there, Envy? I'm down there working.
Okay.
Why are you going, you?
Because I want to have fun.
Yeah, right.
Okay.
But it's very expensive.
Just know that, you know, flights are like $800 to $1,000.
Parties are going to be overpriced.
The problem is I ain't already paid for my flight and everything.
I'm waiting on other n****s and ain't they flaking.
They're not trying to spend that money.
That's why, listen. You can't even play in a trip with your friends if they ain't got their flights. Exactly. They waiting on other n****s and ain't they flaking? Because they got no money. They're not trying to spend that money. That's why, listen,
you can't even play in a trip
with your friends
if they ain't got their place.
Exactly.
They waiting on the buddy packs.
I'm like, damn, bro.
You should have been telling me
that out of thin, you know.
Bro, once again,
listen to your Uncle Charlotte.
You should not be in New Orleans
unless you're getting a check.
And your buddies are smart
because they know that.
Nah, there's a lot of people
going out there
to have a good time,
and build some memories.
I'm 28, man.
I'm from the Bay.
But 28, yeah, he can still go out there and have some fun.
When you get to 30, that's when you got to be like, you know what, I got to go for a check.
I had a young girl yesterday complaining to me about how she ain't got no money to pay her rent this month,
but she worried about how she can get to All-Star this weekend.
Like, if you don't get your damn priorities straight.
Now, if your priorities are straight and you have some extra cash and you and your friends want to go, by all means, please have a good time.
All right. Well, hello, Chris. It go by all means. Please have a good time. All right.
Well, hello, Miss.

And then I see a man out there really giving us these, like, nursery rhymes.
And I'm like, I'm just mad at myself because I got fire bars, bro.
My lyrics is on fire.
But can you write a hit song, though?
I got a couple of hit songs, baby.
I'm talking about New York City all day, you feel me?
What's the name of one of your records?
Bottom to the ceiling. I was bored of going giddy,

Oh, stop hating, Charlamagne.
Yeah, I like that. I like that.
Spit some balls. Spit some balls right now.

It is the most beautiful thing in the world.
Do you make a wish when the sun rises, or do you pray?
Do you meditate?
What do you do?
I just sit there and watch the sun come out, take pictures.
I started a photography business, and it got my life straight.

Now, Yee.
Yes.
We got rumors on the way?
Yes, we are going to talk about a couple who we were expecting to see their wedding special and all of that,
but they have recently just broken up.
Also, we'll give you an update on what happened with Adele at the Grammys.
Now people really think she's hating on Beyonce.
Okay.
We'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
V. Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
I'm broadcasting live from New Orleans.
Shout to Larry Murrow, promoter Larry Murrow.
Hey, Larry.
He's actually on his way.
He's bringing food.
So he's bringing food.
He thought you was here too, Yee, so.
Okay.
Oh, so he trying to shoot his shot with Yee, but nice. No, that's my guy.
He's one of the best promoters in New Orleans
and he always hooks us up. His mom actually
owns a restaurant out there. I bet you
if Envy tell him, if he wasn't on his way
and Envy said that you wasn't there, he'd be like,
hey man, I gotta take my kids to school
real quick. I don't think
I'm gonna be able to make it again.
No, I'm definitely not gonna say that till he gets here.
That's definitely not true, but shout out to Larry.
He actually has a book coming out, and I did a quote for his book also.
He's great.
So to everybody that listens to us on Q93 in New Orleans, man,
drop on the Clues bombs for Q93, damn it.
And shout out to We That Food Truck.
Did you go there yet, Envy?
No, I'm going there tomorrow, actually.
They invited me, so I'm going there tomorrow.
All right, well, let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Adele, Beyonce.
It's about time.
What's going on?
Rumor Report. Rumor Report.
This is the Rumor Report.
With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well,
Adele was so excited to do
that George Michael tribute
at the Grammys, but there was
an original plan. Now, George Michael's
actual manager,
his vision was to have Adele,
Beyonce, and Rihanna
perform and each take a song of a different
tempo and mash them up together.
They wanted to do Freedom, One More Try,
you know, Adele did Fast Love,
but Adele was dead set on how
she wanted it done, so she nixed
that idea, and it ended up just being
Adele with no Beyonce and no Rihanna
performing. It probably means more
coming from Adele than Adele from Across
the Pond. She's a fellow
Brit, they're both, and that's how she grew up
just listening to George and Michael.
He was a god to her. It probably was better just
to let her do it. I mean, the performance was boring
anyway, though. I mean, unseasoned chicken.
Listen, if she would have had Beyonce and Rihanna
up there too, doing One More
Chance, that would have been, doing One More Chance.
And that would have been incredible. Beyonce wouldn't have been with all that stop and starting, though.
Stopping the performance because you messed up.
You better get it right from the first time.
Okay?
No, I think that would have been incredible.
All right, Michael Jackson in the meantime.
Thriller has sold 33 million copies and streams.
It's the best-selling release in history ever.
It's the first album ever to go 33 times diamond.
Wasn't Thriller already that, though?
No.
I thought Thriller was the highest-selling album
ever before this.
Well, yeah, but it now is the highest-selling
with 33 times platinum.
Nobody else has ever, ever sold that many records,
and that's also thanks to streaming and everything.
Nah, he's beating a dead horse at this point.
Just let it go.
Like he needs another plaque.
All right.
Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna have split up yet again, and the wedding plans are off.
This is according to People.
According to People magazine, they have split a while ago.
They're both trying to be mature about it.
They said it was less dramatic this time.
They've had their ups and downs, a very complicated history with their families
as we all know.
But it appears now that they are not going to be
doing their show and things have been
very strained. Thanks
to the Rob and Chyna show as well.
So that's it. It's over.
Don't worry, Rob. She'll be back in March.
It's All-Star weekend. She just wanted to break up with you for the weekend.
She'll be back.
Unless she's going to see IAA. If she's going to see IAA you gotta wait till you for the weekend. She'll be back. Unless she's going to CIAA.
If she's going to CIAA, you got to wait until March.
If not, she'll be back next week.
There's a warrant out for Darrell Rivas' arrest.
Now, according to documents that were released by the police in Pittsburgh last night,
he was involved in an altercation on Sunday that left him with four first-degree felonies.
Two counts of aggravated assault, one count each of robbery and conspiracy to commit aggravated assault.
Lee was just with him.
And yes, he was just with us at Super Bowl in Houston.
I got to hear both sides.
What happened?
All right.
I'm going to tell you both sides.
So 2.43 a.m. in the morning, there were officers dispatched.
Two men were knocked unconscious for about 10 minutes.
Wow.
They said a 22-year-old man was walking.
He saw Darrell Rivas, asked him, confirmed it was him,
then started recording him on his cell phone and following him.
Darrell Rivas then snatched the cell phone and tried to delete the video.
That's when another man, who was 21 years old, tried to intervene,
got in the middle of the argument, and Darrell Rivas threw that phone onto the roadway.
They started arguing verbally.
The two men then ended up getting punched and knocked unconscious for 10 minutes.
So Darrell was minding his business and he was harassed by a groupie-ass guy trying to record him
because he's so excited to see Darrell Rivas and a fight ensued.
Now, both of the men were taken to the hospital.
One of them had broken bones around his eye.
Now, on Darrell Rivas' side of things, apparently he was there to visit family and friends.
He went by a location on the south side. He's in the process of
developing when he was physically assaulted
while at that location by a group of
at least five people. So he was doing
anything in self-defense. Any
punches that might have been thrown
was in self-defense. So he was looking at houses
at two something in the morning? Well, I guess he
just maybe left somewhere and was like
let me go past here. That's when your story gets sketchy.
You know you done effed up, right?
Now come on now. That's when it gets sketchy. You know you done left up, right? That Ralph Revis.
Now, come on now.
That's when it gets sketchy.
But if you're having
money invested
and you're out
and you're not that far
from a location,
you might just stroll by.
Not at two in the morning?
No.
But you know,
I used to do that
for inspiration.
Like, when I got lazy,
I would leave the house
at midnight, 1 a.m.,
and me and the wife
would drive by mansions
and kind of encourage you
to go a little harder.
I'm glad you said
you and your wife.
All right, well,
I'm Angela Yee,
and that is your rumor report.
All right, thank you, Miss Yee.
When we come back, Trey's songs will be in the building.
That was Big Sean with Bounce Back.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God, we are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
I told y'all I ain't want him up here.
I told y'all I ain't want him up here. Why do you ain't want him up here, Envy? You see what he did to my Giants? He put them guest in the building. I told y'all I ain't one of them up here. I told y'all I ain't one of them up here.
Why you ain't one of them up here, Envy?
You see what he did to my Giants?
He put them all on the boat.
Yeah, that was your fault, Trey.
I left them all up.
Trey, that was your fault.
And then sent them to the next playoff game.
I thank you, because I'm a Cowboy fan, so I love seeing the Giants get the ass.
Well, Tremaine is here.
He done messed my Giants up.
Well, I'm risking it for myself.
See?
So it was a setup.
It was a setup.
I didn't tell nobody it was my boat. I didn't tell nobody
it's my boat.
I ain't tell nobody
to do nothing.
But it was your boat.
Yes.
I saw everybody
giving you the utmost flack.
I was like,
damn,
Trey is really having
to defend himself
in this situation
for other grown men.
Man,
I'm letting people
get on the boat.
You can do the boat
the next week.
What I'm supposed to do
is say,
no,
don't get on the boat.
Yes.
No.
You have a game
to play now.
You don't even know
if I did that.
You have a game next week. You gotta play. You can't get on the boat, man. No. You have a game to worry about. You don't even know if I did that. You have a game next week.
You got to play.
You can't get on the boat, man.
But listen to what he said.
Did you give them that type of advice, Trey?
Like, hey, this may not be the best fit for y'all.
I sat and we had a conversation.
You know this is going to get scrutinized.
You know?
Right.
You know, y'all are going to take the L.
If y'all do, like, it's going to be blamed on y'all.
They were like, fine.
And I'm going to live my life and be Trey Songz.
But y'all football players like that, that's going to be what affects y'all career.
We had that conversation on the boat.
Really?
Was that right before they took the picture?
When somebody was like,
yeah, let's all get together and take this picture.
I mean, I was just on the boat chilling.
They was visiting.
They wanted to take pictures.
Would you have let the Redskins on the boat?
Yeah, I would.
Can you confirm one thing?
Because when we seen the picture,
Charlemagne said,
Charlemagne said there was no ladies on the boat.
Charlemagne said, but the guys on the boat.
You got to look at my Snapchat.
See, there was women on the boat.
I didn't even see Trey on that picture until like five days later.
I'm like, oh, Trey was on the boat.
I was on the boat for like three days.
Damn.
Damn.
Charlemagne's like, what do I need to do to get invited?
I was cool.
I was cool on that.
Now, also, what did you do Valentine's Day?
We seen you with pictures with Yee and you guys. I was with Ash. Now, what y'all do to get invited. I was cool on that. Now, also, what did you do Valentine's Day? We seen you with pictures with Yee and you guys.
I was with Ang.
Now, what y'all do?
The usual.
I bought this.
You bought a whip?
Okay.
Yeah, whip.
We got this and these.
Okay.
I ain't do much.
We had a, her and I, we had an event and I actually went to the studio.
I was tired.
I went to sleep early last night.
So, by the way, real quick.
It was YouTube Live.
We did an event there talking about his reality show.
Oh, real quick.
Your boyfriend never came in town last night?
Yeah, he's here.
Oh, he did come.
Okay, he better.
That's what I was saying all day.
That's what he said all day.
Yeah, Angela going to be with Trey.
Nah, I heard.
You better be on that plane.
I heard.
I was like, I'm bringing your wife, Gia.
No, you're not.
I bought roses.
Yeah, he got me roses, chocolates.
Champagne. Hard act to follow. Yeah, you not. I bought roses. Yeah, he got me roses, chocolates. Champagne.
Hard act to follow.
It was a nice prelude.
It's hard for y'all, though,
because y'all,
you're R&B stars,
so you got these songs.
On days like Valentine's,
the bar's way up here
for y'all.
Right.
You just got to walk
until you got to accept
that part of your life
as an R&B singer.
Right.
Now, we know you're not
struggling financially.
Right.
We know you don't have any problem finding a
female. Right. So why the hell are you
doing a reality show? Well, you've seen the reality
show, Envy, so you already know what it is. Yeah, we don't have to play like
we do. No, we don't have to play like we do. Now, I'm going to be honest with you.
I told Envy. Yeah, you...
Envy's slow. Envy's slow.
I forgot it was a dad. It's okay.
It's okay. I get it. I knew
that the reality show thing wasn't real for me.
No, that's not true. You're a damn liar.
All right, no, you know what?
Let me be the only honest person in the room.
What did I say when I first heard about it?
You said, I got to get Trey and Hanson.
What the hell is he doing a damn reality show for?
Because I didn't understand why it was going to be online,
but then that made me think this can't be real
because Trey Songz, for the love of Trey reality show,
would not have just been online.
It would have been on TV.
But he thought it was real.
He thought it was real. He definitely thought it was real. I did, I did, I did. And then I saw Trey. show would not have just been online. It would have been on TV. But he thought it was real.
I did. I did. I did.
I went to Trey's
Instagram and I looked at it and I said, Trey growing his
hair out. I said, I ain't heard about Trey going broke.
I said, no.
I said, then he just had a boat.
Well, clearly I know Trey better than both of y'all
because when I first saw it, I said,
okay, I see what this is.
We're going to get the guys to watch
because Trey's going to pick some fly women
to be on the show with him.
And then the women are going to watch, of course,
because they're going to watch to see Trey's songs.
And this is a great way to introduce some new music.
You're smart.
Yeah, I have a marketing background.
She's the one.
Outside of everything that you said,
which is a great perception of it all.
Even though I talked to you, we talked about this
before I saw y'all.
Oh, she had it.
No, I knew this before.
She formed it in her thoughts.
Got you.
But I think just with the way people consume music,
the way people love reality TV, the way people love drama,
just the illusion that that could be something I was doing
was a great way to introduce music.
And, you know, I had y'all food.
I mean, I knew you wasn't doing no reality shows.
That's exactly what I'm talking about.
I'm going to tell you the main reason I knew why.
See, you're going to keep going back and forth.
No, I knew because this is wild.
The main reason I knew is because nobody knows who Trey is
and we just know he f***ed everybody.
And Trey would not put it out there like that.
No, hold on. That's not true.
He just wouldn't do it.
He's had some public relationships.
Not really.
Yes, he has.
Sips of tea.
Sips of tea.
Tell us what relationships Trey had.
He's had a few.
Tell us who.
I was shocked the other day when I saw you on Instagram or something.
And you said you were going to shoot your shot at Ashanti.
I was like, wow, Trey.
Putting my little business out there a little bit.
I was shocked at you.
I was like, why?
I've never seen Trey do it like that.
Right.
I think something.
Shot shooter. Yeah. I mean, why not? Let me see what Trey do it like that. Right. I think something. Shot shooter.
Yeah.
I mean, why not?
Let me see what's going on.
He said, let me see what's going on.
Did she reply yet?
I hit about a song, actually.
That's how it starts.
That's how it starts.
You got to watch how you slide.
You got to get in the studio first and then have a conversation.
Okay.
Now, let's talk about the women on Tremaine the Playboy, though.
Who casted these women?
Were you very involved in that?
Yeah, I was.
Favors.
Favors.
Favors, too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, favor for a favor, you know, it's a good look for anybody a part of it, I feel,
after the gag is up, you know what I mean?
Because what you really realize while you put it out, you said it.
That's funny.
You said it.
You see, the gag is up.
The gag is up. That's funny. You said it. You said it. The gag is.
The gag is.
This guy is funny.
He's good.
He's tricky.
He's tricky over here.
Like you were saying the other day,
as you said, she was like,
the thing about it is you get
all different perceptions. You got the people that were
crazy upset that I was doing it. You got the people that were crazy upset that I was doing it.
You got the people that were excited about it.
The people that just love reality television that may not even be a Trey Songz fan.
You got the VH1 fans.
So it just did what I wanted it to do.
Right, Charlie and his eyes were glued to the TV watching it.
Yeah, I mean, it's a bunch of hot women.
Plus, I want to make sure Trey ain't playing himself.
Right.
At first, when I thought it was a real reality show.
You know what I'm saying?
But he ain't texting me or nothing.
He ain't texting me, checking on me.
Like, Fab texted me, like, yo, you ain't tell me about this.
What we doing?
So you fooled Fab, too.
No, I got a lot of real texts in my phone.
Like, people mad, people upset, people congratulating me.
It was cool, man.
It was a cool little you know cool little gag
even when we said
you were coming up here
people were sending us
tweets and DMs
like could you please
ask him
please tell him
don't do a reality show
right
the people that's upset
about it
and then they're like
where do I sign up
so it's like
you know
and we're having
different conversations
about different things now
but your fans have
a certain mystique
to you I guess
so I guess they felt
like a show like that
would cheapen
the love they have for you, I guess.
Like, I've never been one to do that, you know, or one to, like you say, exploit my relationships for personal gain or let somebody know who I'm rocking with just so I get more popularity or whatever.
So I think it was something new outside of the box for what anybody would think I would do.
That's why everybody was shocked, and the shock value was, like, a good point.
Did you ever end up liking any of them for real?
Yeah, all of them was cool.
Yeah, they was cool.
You know, but it was really a video, though,
so I was really there directing.
Working.
I directed it, edited it.
Shout out to Roxanna and Yash,
also known as Yashana, who helped me with it.
But it was really a production.
Like, we did everything in six days.
If you don't know,
Tremaine the Playboy, the website is up right now.
There will be a new video, new episode.
The story lives on.
I thought you said nude video.
I was like, damn.
On the website?
That's what you want, baby?
Yeah, put up a nude video.
You kissed the lead girl.
What's her name?
Cresha Turner.
Cresha Turner.
That was the actual video.
And I guess the whole point was you did this reality show because you and Cresha broke up.
Yeah, inside of the reality
element.
Yeah, in the video.
The love interest was played by Cresha.
You don't do no tests on the girls? Like how back in the day
when Janet wanted everybody to take an HIV test
if I'm gonna kiss you or hepatitis
or something? Nah, I didn't do that.
You got me a little worried.
I don't know that you can contract. I don't know that you can contract
HIV from kids.
By the way, you can't contact HIV from kids.
That's why you switched it to Hepatitis.
It was crazy, though, because when Trey
took off his shirt in the video, we had a young man in the room who lost
his mind. Lost his mind? Let me see.
Nick, you want to put the camera on him just real quick?
No.
That same young man has a bell for Charlamagne that he rings.
And he was rooting for Holly Joso.
What did he say? He said, you gotta pick
the Spanish one. She don't know no English.
Why is she talking in English?
Holly Joso, by the way. Alright, we got more with Trey Songz when we come back. Keep it locked. It Holly Jo, so by the way.
All right, we got more with Trey Songz when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
That's right.
We're back with The Breakfast Club.
We have Trey Songz in the building.
Now, Charlamagne?
Trey, when he was in Detroit, he told them, he said,
if you cut the music, I'm going to tear the stage up.
They cut the music, and he tore the stage up.
That was old Trey. That went back
to old Trey.
As soon as Trey started growing his hair out, strange things started
happening.
Like Trey getting nostalgic.
Nah, I mean, the stage thing
in Detroit is so many layers to that.
Because actually, what a lot of people don't understand
is what happened was the people who cut my music
off have actually been working for me for seven
or eight years.
Going on tour with me.
We got personal relationship.
And they started my show three minutes late,
ended me five minutes early.
So people don't understand that.
That's eight minutes late. You wanted your eight minutes.
Yeah.
And I'm playing the game.
I see the clock.
I know very well what time is allowed
and what I'm in for.
So I wasn't supposed to be cut off in the first place.
All right.
That was your own team.
Your team knows you, knows your temperament.
Yeah, they must have thought I was bullshitting them.
And you've done that show several times.
I've seen you at the Big Show at the Joy at least twice.
Right.
Yeah.
So you felt disrespected in a way.
I definitely felt disrespected.
I mean, mostly because these people, like literally every tour you've seen me on
have been working with me since, what, Blueprint tour?
That was in 2010.
Wow.
So it was more about that.
And then it was fraudulent claims about me doing this and that backstage.
I don't ever speak on too much of what negativity gets thrown in the air,
because it'll settle itself.
And, you know, too many rebuttals, you know, especially when the law is involved.
Right. Because I said I'd go to court for that. So you got to pay for the equipmenttals, you know, especially when the law is involved.
Because I said I'd go to court for that.
Did you have to pay for your equipment?
No, not even for the equipment.
It's my equipment.
Oh, it's your equipment.
You took up your own equipment.
Yeah.
Oh, so you have to pay for that?
Did you regret it after the fact?
No, I got a gang of press.
They love my mugshot.
No, I'm kidding.
My mom am mad.. My mama mad.
My mama mad.
I got to go to court.
I got to spend money.
So, of course, it's something that I don't really, I didn't really anticipate happening.
But, you know, it is what it is.
Now, what happened with Keke Palmer, man?
You tell me, bro.
Was she?
We tried to figure that out up here.
We thought she was allegedly high or drunk to be honest. That's what I said.
She got high and went and hid in the closet.
I mean, I ain't snitching on nobody.
That sounds like high behavior. I mean, got high and went and hid in the closet. I mean, I ain't snitching on nobody. That sounds like high behavior.
Absolutely.
I mean, the thing about when you're shooting a video,
and I waited to have this conversation because I knew we'd talk about it,
but ain't nobody put her on camera without action.
There's a sign on the door that there's a video being shot.
You step on these premises, you will be recorded.
Point blank period.
I don't have to say nothing else about nothing.
But I will say that being that
her and i have had a friendship i've known her a long time we got the same product manager
when she came to atlantic records i was uh what like on my second album or something
and it was always cool like there's always love between that's why i didn't want to speak out or
like she was doing her most like you know defame me uh I thought that was whack.
She called you gay at one point.
It is what it is.
When did she do that? I think she did.
When did she do that?
I think she did.
I didn't hear that part.
I didn't hear that one at all.
Where did she say that?
I didn't hear that anywhere.
Listen to me, bruh.
Listen to me.
Kiki is on,
she got me on her Snapchat.
I'm talking to girls. I'm smoking.
I'm doing all types of stuff. I don't know if she's shooting me on her Snapchat.
Did I go on the internet and say,
Kiki, you got me on your Snapchat
talking to girls. You got me on your Snapchat
while I'm not looking. She allegedly said, Trey sucks.
That's what she said. Allegedly.
Where did, I never heard that. You just keep going. You just like, I'm about to hit you She allegedly said Trey sucks. That's what she said. Allegedly. I never heard that. You just keep going.
I'm about to hit you about this.
Just keep going.
I didn't want to.
You seen me on stage. I didn't say that.
Watch your mouth.
By the way,
I just want to say one thing.
That was Orlando Brown.
My bad. Who we all know is a little crazy.
Amy getting put out the interview.
Wait a minute. Orlando Brown was thinking for my bad. Who we all know is a little crazy. Amy getting put out the interview. Oh, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
It was not.
We got Orlando Brown was thinking for damn Kiki Palmer.
Same difference.
Same difference.
You need some sleep, bro.
Orlando Brown was drinking Charlamagne.
Go ahead.
I'm sorry.
I ain't talking about that.
Yeah, what's he talking about?
But she has just said that you guys spoke and made up and everything.
And that's a lie, too.
I ain't talk to her.
Come on, Trey.
No, man.
She said y'all sput.
Now that I heard.
See, the gag is...
So the gag is y'all haven't even spoken.
I ain't talk to Kiki, y'all.
Kiki, come on, Kiki.
Kiki, y'all do better than that now.
I ain't call Kiki.
I ain't try to call Kiki.
None of that.
I did not put her in the video without her permission either.
Okay, but you did take the video down
because you were like, I don't want these issues.
I ain't do that either.
I ain't had nothing to do with
nothing. Y'all do what y'all want to do. The label want to
take it down. It's not my video. It's not a
song that's on any album. It's not
attached to it. It's somebody else's song.
It's a video that we shot in passing
at a party. Like, I don't care that much to sneak
Kiki Palmer in the video for two seconds.
Who the f*** does that?
I'ma sneak you in the video, K seconds? Who the f*** does that? I'm going to sneak you in the video, Keke?
No, I'm not.
F*** out of here.
Well, at least she's resolved the issue with herself.
With herself?
With herself.
Now, how has this political climate affected
your music?
You know, I was a part of the Birth of Nations
soundtrack with a song called Stayin'
that was very emotional for me.
The political climate as well as, you know, the social climate.
Just with police brutality being crazy last year and having been crazy forever.
I feel it's not even just my music, but just my voice. It's affected the way I speak and what I speak on and how I want to inform, you know, the people that follow me.
I feel it my duty to keep them educated on this, that and the other now,
because it's more important for us to be knowledgeable about politics and what's really happening now that we see it to the detriment of us,
that we have a president that doesn't really care about what he says or does.
I have noticed that your tweets have been very informative about what's going on.
It's hard, though, sometimes because you put something up and then you get so,
like, there's so many people that are crazy that start all of a sudden hating on you and going in
because they don't agree with what you agree with.
And I'm like, dude, people don't have to be, like, disrespectful.
That's life, though.
Yeah, that's something that comes with anything you say, anything you do.
It's going to be combated with either acceptance or non-acceptance, you know.
That's what a voice is for, though.
That's what a Twitter is for.
That's what an Instagram is for.
It's where you speak your voice, say whatever you feel.
Whoever comment, comment.
But I just speak my opinion on what I feel I should.
I always say Trey's seen it before.
He's, of course, from Virginia, you've seen.
I mean, Virginia is one of those places that is so racist.
And even, you know, you did a lot of work in the Hampton Roads area,
and you've seen it.
So you live through the racism with police.
You live through a lot of that.
God, I'm well-stated, man.
Make up their own rules as they go along.
I mean, for real, like I tell you,
I ain't do nothing in Detroit to get me arrested.
I haven't seen police brutality.
I haven't been arrested three times,
and I don't have no charges.
Because they was quite clear.
Not because I got money, but because
I wasn't supposed to be arrested and I got money.
Was there, I don't want to say,
I guess racism when you got kicked out of the MGM?
Why do you think they kicked you out of the MGM? They definitely kicked me
out of the MGM because, let me tell you that story.
You saw that play out. Right.
So, I'm in there the day before. They
comped me like eight rooms, whatever, however many rooms they count me.
I win like $100,000 or something.
You win $100,000?
Right.
On what, blackjack?
Yeah.
Sheesh.
So the next day, you know, I'm a gambler.
I play cards.
So I go down there.
I'm down there for like four hours before I leave.
And the dealers, they switching out every 30 minutes.
Because you winning. Yeah, but I'm winning. So when I start losing, the switching out every 30 minutes. Because you winning.
Yeah, but I'm winning.
So when I start losing, the dealer stays for an hour.
So I'm down now.
Now I'm not down.
I'm like even.
I'm like, can I switch the dealer?
I play cards.
I know I can switch the dealer.
I'm a high limit.
Like, nah.
I'm like, why?
Y'all gave me all these rooms.
Y'all gave me comp dinner, comp room, champagne, all this.
Y'all treat me like I'm supposed to i'm playing because when you gamble all that matters
is the time you spend at the table especially if you're playing with big money so i actually
switched the dealer and then somebody comes i think it was the vp uh pit boss or something
it's a black guy they've been showing the white guy been there all day showing me love but the
black guy gets switched out and he's like, no, we can't switch the deal.
I'm like, what you mean?
Can I talk to you in private for a sec?
So while I'm trying to talk to him, a heckler comes over, like somebody drunk.
He talking cash.
He talking to my security.
So as I'm talking to the VP, my security guard goes over to calm that situation down.
Mm-hmm. to calm that situation down. He, the VP,
tells us we got to leave because we upsetting
the whomever this other person is.
The heckler.
The heckler leaves though.
And we still got to leave.
While we having this conversation,
I'm calm.
I turn around,
it's 15 police behind me.
It's three of us.
Three.
Me, my security guard,
my artist.
Why y'all need so many police?
Y'all done treated me like y'all supposed to.
I ain't did nothing crazy.
I went crazy after that.
Because I just felt, I felt disrespected.
I felt, and they weren't kicking me out the casino.
They were kicking me out the high limit.
Like I literally went and gambled for two more hours on the floor.
Oh, so after that, you still continued.
You still stayed.
And I had rooms the whole weekend.
And I spent money with the MGM.
Oh, so they didn't kick you out of the hotel? No.
Furthermore, it's
a new casino. You know what I mean?
Giving
them some benefit of the doubt. Like, it's not
Vegas. They don't know how certain things
should be dealt about. They still have a new staff.
They still figuring out what's what.
But it was dealt with wrong.
Have they called and apologized? They haven't called and apologized or nothing
F*** them Jim
Alright we got more with Trey Songz in minutes
Matter of fact let's get into a Trey Songz mini mix
Let me know what you want to hear right now
It's the Breakfast Club good morning
That was a Trey Songz mini mix
Morning everybody it's DJ Envy
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God
We are the Breakfast Club
Trey Songz is in the building
Are you and Fab ever going to do an album?
Y'all make great records with each other.
Mixtape.
We actually did that mixtape in like a week.
So literally, we was recording every day,
sending s*** back and forth,
like up until the last minute.
Like I did the last song for Trappy New Year's,
like 9 o'clock on New Year's Eve.
Really?
Yeah.
As Angel E's friend, did you think,
did you ever say, Fab, don't say that line?
As Angelique's friend?
Yes.
Did you say, don't say that?
He was a little tight.
I laughed.
I laughed.
No, I died.
I thought it was funny.
You didn't think it was funny?
It was a funny line.
He was a little tight.
No, I did.
I told Fab.
You said, Kiki Palmer said I suck.
Yeah, you don't have to be talking about this.
And you talk about I'm supposed to stick up for Angelique. Did you call Kiki? I didn't say I suck. Yeah, you talk about I'm supposed to stick up for Angie.
Did you call Kiki?
I didn't say you suck.
Did you call her?
I didn't say that.
Did you say Trace, my guy?
I'm going to tell you what.
Did you say that?
I'm like, Fab, yo, you know Angie's the homie.
Don't say the Gucci line.
I ain't got to land no trouble.
You know what?
I had a conversation.
Don't say the Gucci line, Fab.
After you were there, I had a conversation with Fab about that. I told Fab. I said, yo, Fab, you know you got to talk to you. You know, you're a little tight. He was like, really? I was a conversation. Don't say the Gucci line, Fab. You were there. I had a conversation with Fab about that.
I told Fab, I said, yo, Fab, you know you got to talk to me.
You know, you're a little tight.
He was like, really?
I was like, yeah, man.
He was like, all right, I'm going to go talk to you.
Because it's something that wasn't true.
Why would you put that in a song?
It was a joke.
I thought it was just a dope rap line.
It was a joke.
It was a joke.
I think I look at it like this.
Fab is always culturally aware of what's going on as far as his bars are concerned.
Like, he always put what's very relevant.
And being that it's a
mixtape for the times that was very present,
very, I won't say trendy, but very
much with the hit records of that moment.
And that just happened
the day before.
Fab was like, well, you said this and this
about me on the air one day.
I was like, but Fab, you asked us to take it out of the interview.
We never aired it. I didn't know it was a secret.
And he was like So now we even
Now we uneven
So I said
So I said
But Fab the stuff
That I asked you was true
He was like
Oh well
Okay
Well explain to people
Because we don't take stuff
Out of the interview
Fab has
Emily was pregnant at the time
But Fab didn't want to announce it
Fab didn't tell his family yet
So he was like
Let me tell my family
Before you announce
But here's the thing We wouldn't think it was secret Emily was just up here Pregnant Walking around So Fab didn't want to announce it. Fab didn't tell his family yet. So he was like, let me tell my family before y'all announce.
We wouldn't think it was secret.
Emily was just up here pregnant, walking around.
So I didn't know it was a secret.
I just was like, congratulations. He didn't want the world to know.
Because he wanted to tell his family first.
Right, so I didn't know.
So out of respect for that, I'm like, okay, we didn't know.
That's not the same.
We're not even now.
And we didn't even play it.
That's not the same.
Yeah, so that was that.
Now, there's a lot of truth in satire.
Last time you was here, you said you wanted to have kids.
You're on the mock reality show saying you want to have kids.
Your mom actually said that.
I mean, the thing about the mock reality show is that if you pay close attention,
it's very, very much treading the line of what the message I'm trying to put.
Like, the song is called Nobody Else, but she was talking about how hard it is
to be in love with one woman in a music industry like this and be myself.
And, of course, it's like you said, satire, banter, and it's a little bit exaggerated.
But that's what it's like to be me for a little bit.
The truth is, and your mom said, you know, your brothers both have kids now.
Right.
You kind of feel like it's time.
It has to feel like that.
What you waiting on to n*** somebody, man?
The right one.
I mean, I ain't wait this long just to have a baby mom.
You know what I'm saying?
As far as uncle's side, I want a wife.
And of course, on me, being a heartthrob,
R&B singer, whatever you want to call it.
Playboy.
It's hard to find something that's concrete,
something that you can bet on.
Do women even trust you?
Do I trust women?
As you said.
Damn, Trey.
Well, only because
probably you can't be trusted.
That ain't why.
I find that's the reason why
sometimes men don't trust women
because they know what they do.
No, I don't think
you're going to put that on me.
Do you trust women, though?
Can you be trusted, Trey?
I don't think saying
do I trust women
is a good question because that's a whole gender.
You know what I'm saying?
I trust some women.
You got to earn my trust just like I probably got to earn yours.
All my cards on the table already.
You know who I am.
You know what I mean?
My AK is Mr. Steal Your Girl.
Right.
So what do I lose by telling you that I know and see multiple women?
Because you're imagining that already.
I'm going to get that off your plate right now until you can be the one to take that away from me.
And when I say it's difficult to be in a situation like this because women allow me to do whatever I want to do.
Jesus Christ.
So when you're with a girl and she
catches you with another girl, you just shrug out at her like
you know. You knew what this was.
No, it ain't even about
being caught. Like I'm not going to disrespect you
and I'm not going to do nothing to make you look bad. That's why my
relationships are not public because I
feel like you got to protect something if you
cherish it before you give it to the world.
And furthermore, I'm not going to make
you look stupid if I know I'm not fully prepared to be out here looking like I'm your man to the world. And furthermore, I'm not going to make you look stupid if I know I'm not fully prepared to be out here
looking like I'm your man for the world.
Then when something bad goes wrong, you look stupid,
and I keep going on about my life.
I saw one of your lyrics on the song, Prayers.
You said, Lord, forgive me, I'm a lost soul.
I've been spending all my riches, do it all for the bankroll.
Yeah.
That sounds like a dark line.
Were you ever in a dark place at one point?
I mean, I think success, the thing about success is that people think it's all bright.
And even if, especially if you put on a demeanor like I have, you know what I mean, that everything
all cool.
Everything ain't never cool.
It's life.
You know what I mean?
Especially when it's life.
That's why I haven't been doing music the last two years.
That's why I haven't put an album out. That's why I haven't been doing music the last two years. That's why I haven't put an album out.
That's why I had to gear myself up for this.
You see, I didn't put an album out last year,
and I got the most press I ever got just because my hair grew.
Yeah, as you would say.
Yeah, when Kevin was here.
It's the hair that did everything.
Yeah, when Kevin was here, Kevin Loud, I'm like, where his tray been?
What I've learned in the last few years, as far as the business is concerned,
is how I want to release music and how to stay true to who I am as a musician,
how to grow as a musician, stay true to my fan base,
but also be hip and know what's going on with the millennials
and know how to reach people that may not take music in the way
that I was putting it out two years ago that fast.
And as far as about myself, I think it's all in the album.
It's entitled Tremaine.
The series Tremaine, the Playboy.
I got a song called Playboy
that's actually coming out next week
that answers a lot of the questions
that a lot of people that actually like about kids,
all that stuff, like kids, wives,
you know, random women, whatever.
Like the song is incredible.
Shout out to Rico Love.
We did that together.
On the album, I got Rico Love, Esther Dean, Pooh Bear, myself, Troy Taylor.
Who else?
Prince Charles.
If I'm forgetting you, I'm sorry.
But those are all writers and producers.
There's nobody else featured on the album.
No features allowed.
Wow, no features.
All right.
Now, what about this Khloe Kardashian rumor?
Oh, come on.
What about it?
They say you were smashing that, too.
What about it?
You want him to answer, yes, I smashed?
I'm just asking.
I mean, if you want to, give us a headline, sure.
I'm not, you know.
I mean, Khloe got things going on in her life right now that I wouldn't want to disrupt
just because I was talking about something old.
So, yeah.
That's it, confirmation.
All right, Charlamagne?
Yes, Trey.
Trey.
Trey.
Trey. Trey. Trey. Trey.
A better question would be, who hasn't Trey smashed?
That's a good question.
That wasn't a question to me, was it?
Ladies and gentlemen, Trey Songz.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The Rumor Report.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the Rumor Report. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, Future put out a brand new self-titled album last night, early this morning.
And there's 17 songs on there.
Now, he already had said he has a Nobody's Safe tour that's going to start May 4th.
And it's going to end June 30th in Vegas.
He has Migos, Tory Lanez, and Kodak Black opening for him.
And A$AP Ferg and Young Thug
will be opening
on select dates as well.
Everybody's talking
about Rent Money.
That's the first song
on there
and we all know
he was messing
with Larsa Pippen,
Scottie Pippen's wife.
Well, here's a little
verse from there.
Hey, give me bells,
give me bricks,
I'm a nuisance.
I make the blogs
with your bitch
cause I'm ruthless.
I make the blogs
with your bitch
cause I'm ruthless. I get cash moneyows with your bitch cause I'm ruthless.
I get cash running like a...
Well, damn.
Damn, wow.
Boy, I feel bad now if I was her.
Scotty just ain't gonna listen to no future no more.
That's all.
Remember when the paparazzi were asking him,
were asking, where's future?
Scotty has no idea what they're talking about.
Scotty probably like, hey, look, our future is bright.
Okay.
A hundred percent. Our future is bright. Okay. 100%.
Our future is bright.
Knew what was going on.
So, yes, that album is now out.
I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.
Have you, Charlamagne?
I know you're a big fan.
No, I'm actually, the album I was anticipating today was Fat Joe and Remy Ma.
So I got to get that out my system first.
So much came out today.
Yeah, everybody else has to go to the back burner.
All right, Master P has a new woman
and guess what she bought him
for Valentine's Day?
What?
Well, she bought him
a Rolls Royce Ghost.
It cost $270,000.
Drop on the clues, Mom,
for Master P, damn it.
That's nice.
Wow.
The P stands for pimping.
Now, the woman
that he's dating is named,
okay, I can't pronounce this.
Ready?
Simin Hashemizadeh.
What?
She's a CEO at South Pacific Surgery Center in Beverly Hills,
so you know she's making crazy money.
She also got him a pair of $50,000 diamond earrings.
Wow.
Drop one of those balls at Master P, damn it.
God dang it.
Look, if you didn't get a chance to see her, if you have Revolve TV,
you can see what she looks like, but that's what she bought him.
Man, that's what I'm talking about.
For Valentine's. You are such a bird.
That's the bottle, man.
What is she?
A person.
A woman.
She's a female.
I know that, but what's her ethnicity?
Ethnicity is the word.
You know what I meant.
Just because I said it with an F don't mean nothing.
I'm not 100% sure, but there you have it.
It seems like he's very happy getting gifts.
She has the same car, so now they have matching cars nick cannon some people around him are a little bit concerned
about his dramatic behavior quitting his job as host of america's got talent they also said he
has just recently fired his longtime advisors well here's what nick cannon has to say about all of
that and you know he's been walking around wearing the turbans they're saying that he's gotten really
into religion lately he's wearing robes he He refers to himself as Reverend Dr. Cannon.
I haven't heard him refer to himself as that.
I ain't never heard Nick Cannon ever refer to himself as no damn Reverend Dr. Cannon.
Nor have I seen him in a robe.
But maybe he's at his house.
You can wear robes around your house.
I wear robes around the house.
All right.
Here's what Nick Cannon said.
But I keep hearing Ryan Seacrest.
I think he'd be good.
They all used to call me the black Ryan Seacrest.
He could be the white Nick Cannon.
Would you ever work for them again?
Is there anything they can do?
I honestly feel at this point right now,
my focus is working with my community.
Television is a small part of what I do.
And they thought it was a major asset in my life,
and it really isn't.
Right, and at the time that they caught him on TMZ,
he was at a high school in the Bronx.
He was with members of New York City's Black Lives Matter,
and that's a bigger priority for him right now,
bigger than hosting America's Got Talent
for $4.5 million a year.
Oh, Nick got bread.
Nick's got some great investments.
Reverend Dr. Nick Cannon has got bread.
He'll be fine.
Now they're trying to say Nick crazy, right?
They're trying to say he's acting crazy.
Some of these people around him are saying that. He acting crazy. Some of these thoughts speak in his mind.
Are saying that. He's crazy.
Chance the Rapper, after winning
the Best New Artist for
Grammys and everything, he actually did a little remix
freestyle, whatever, for Drake's
Grammy song. And he also had put up
the text messages that Drake sent congratulating
him for winning.
Now, allegedly, people are trying to
sign him for $10 million, but he still
wants to remain independent. They said he may
do something with Apple,
but he's not going to sign to a label.
Sign for what? Why?
He don't need it. He getting all that money.
He seems like he has a good team, and that's the only reason
that you would sign with a label if you didn't have
a team around you to handle everything.
But he's been doing good without a major label.
I wish you would try to sign me after I just won three Grammys.
All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Report.
I was born a donkey.
It's the donkey of the day.
Donkey, donkey, donkey.
I want you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
For the donkey of the day.
That's pretty funny.
Charlamagne the Devil?
Possibly.
The Breakfast Club.
Donkey of the Day for Friday, February 17th is the celebrity in chief, Donald J. Trump.
There is no one who has gotten Donkey of the Day more than Donald Trump,
yet this is only the second time that he's received it since he's been president.
Because if I wanted to, I could find a reason to give President Agent Orange donkey of the day every day.
But I purposely choose not to. But yesterday, Donald J. decided to meet the press just to beat the press.
OK, some people are calling it a meltdown. Some people are calling it a cage match with the press.
I just call it entertainment. All right. The reason you can't really, really be amused by Donald J.
Trump is because he is the leader of the free world. But sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying. And yesterday, Donald J. Trump provided
plenty of jokes. Now, I'm going to play a few of my favorite bits from Donald J.'s latest stand-up
special. Let's start with his claim that he had the biggest electoral college win since Ronald
Reagan, and then he got called out for it. 306 electoral college votes. I guess it was the
biggest electoral college win since Ronald Reagan.
You said today that you had the biggest electoral margin since Ronald Reagan with 304 or 306 electoral votes.
In fact, President Obama got 365.
Well, I'm talking about the president, President Obama, 332, and George H.W. Bush, 426.
So why should Americans trust you? Well, no, I was told, I was
given that information. Why should Americans
trust you when you accuse
the information they receive of being fake when you're
providing information? Well, I don't know. I was
given that information. But it was a very
substantial victory. Do you agree with that?
You're the president. Okay, thank you.
Drop one of Clue's bombs for Donald J. Trump.
The most amusing part of that exchange
wasn't the fact Trump had the information wrong.
It's the fact that Trump didn't even try to act like he knew what he was talking about.
Trump said somebody gave him the information.
And I respect the honesty.
Okay, you know why?
We've always been told that presidents are puppets.
But now we get to see the strings.
Okay, we get to see the hand up Trump's ass controlling him.
And yesterday, Donald visibly looked like that hand up his ass was making him uncomfortable.
Okay, now my favorite joke, or one of my favorite jokes,
it happened when White House correspondent April Ryan questioned Donald
on whether he planned to meet with the Congressional Black Caucus.
And Donald basically asked April to broker the deal. Let's hear it.
Are you going to include the CBC, Mr. President, in your conversations with your urban agenda, your inner city agenda, as well as...
Am I going to include who?
Are you going to include the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus?
Well, I would. I tell you what. Do you want to set up the meeting? Do you want to set up the meeting?
No, no, no.
Are they friends of yours?
I'm just a reporter.
No, get it. Set up the meeting.
I know some of them, but I'm sure...
Let's go set up a meeting. I would love to meet with the Black Caucus. I think it's great, the Congressional Black Caucus. I think it's great. Now, I feel like
I don't feel, I
know our celebrity in chief, Donald J. Trump
feels like April can set up the meeting
simply because she's black. Right.
You know them, right? All the black people in the caucus?
It's the Congressional Black Caucus. I mean, all black people have a direct
line to the Congressional Black Caucus, right?
We all follow the Congressional Black Caucus
on social media. We attend all the
Congressional Black Caucus meetings simply because we We attend all the Congressional Black Caucus meetings
simply because we're black.
That's what black people must do, right?
That's like walking in a casino and thinking all black people are great at blackjack.
You know?
Nah.
The final joke not only made me laugh, but it made me reminisce.
Let me let you hear it first.
We're becoming a drug-infested nation.
Drugs are becoming cheaper than candy bars.
Play that one more time.
This really made me reminisce about a lot of different things.
It made me think about one of my favorite TV shows.
It made me think about high school.
Let me hear it.
We're becoming a drug-infested nation.
Drugs are becoming cheaper than candy bars.
Yum.
Well, first off, my question is, if drugs are cheaper than candy bars,
then why don't drug dealers
just sell candy bars?
Huh?
That'd be more
of a profit margin.
You would clearly make
more money selling candy bars.
Like them kids on the train.
That's all I'm saying.
And people will say to you,
why would I buy candy
from a dealer
when I can buy it
from the store
where you clearly never
had a candy lady
in your hood
and you clearly never
had that one kid
who would come to school selling candy,
not selling those chocolate bars from the PTA,
but bringing his own candy to school, his own work, making a killing.
As you just said, the people on the train right now
selling candy bars all through New York, okay?
Nice profit margin.
Listen, man, some of y'all was either that kid selling candy bars in school
or knew the kid selling candy bars in school.
And if drugs are cheaper than candy bars nowadays, according to
Trump, just sell candy bars. Right. Get your
Riley Freeman on. See, that's
why I like that moment because it made me think
about, you know, my man RJ,
he used to sell candy bars in school and it made
me think about one of my favorite TV shows, The Boondocks.
And I said, get your Riley Freeman
on. Y'all never used to watch The Boondocks?
Riley Freeman got the memo that
drugs were cheaper than candy bars a few years ago and he was slinging candy bars all through the hood. Y'all don't remember watch the Boondocks? Mm-hmm. Huh? Raleigh Freeman got the memo that drugs were cheaper than candy bars a few years ago,
and he was slinging candy bars all through the hood.
Y'all don't remember when Raleigh cursed out that old-ass dude
because he tried to overthrow Raleigh's empire?
Yeah.
F*** you.
F*** the plane you flew in on.
F*** them shoes.
F*** those socks with the bell on it.
F*** your gay-ass fairy f***ing accent.
F*** them cheap-ass cigars.
F*** your yuck-mouth teeth.
F*** your hairpiece. F*** your chocolate. F*** Guy Ritchie. F*** Prince William. f***ing cheap-ass cigars, f*** your yuck-mouthed teeth, f*** your hairpiece, f*** your
chocolate, f*** Guy Ritchie, f***
Prince William, f*** the Queen. This is
America. My president is black
and my Lambo is blue, n***a. Now get
the f*** out of my hotel room.
And if I see you in the street, I'm slapping the s*** out of you.
Drop one of the clues bombs for Riley Freeman,
damn it. My goodness, play that uncensored.
Riley, you got the memo that candy bars
were cheaper than,
drugs were cheaper than candy bars a long time ago, all right?
He'd been making money off candy bars way before Trump ever mentioned that.
Look, there's nothing I can say about Donald Trump that hasn't already been said.
He's a liar.
He's not fit to be president.
But in a world where content is king,
nobody wears the content crown like our celebrity in chief, J. Trump Please give him the biggest yeehaw please
Alright
Well thank you for that donkey of the day
Imagine kids selling drugs on the train
To raise money to buy jerseys for their basketball team
They keep legalizing it
You might see that
Lame hustle now
You better sell some candy bars okay
Morning everybody It's DJ Envy Angela Yee I see that. See you a little later. Lame hustle now. You better sell some candy bars, okay?
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
Your dinner.
This is the most casual I've seen you probably ever.
Really? It still look like, you know, I got the French cuff still.
Yeah.
That looks like something you play basketball in.
That's what Chuck Taylor's on.
Like ABA?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
That's something you can't wear if you're at all overweight.
Like that shirt.
Yeah.
No, no.
Actually, it works for, I mean, this one is tailored to me.
I feel like it looks good because it's very light.
But if you a big man, you can still rock it.
In Nigeria, they call it up and down.
Okay.
Up and down?
Yeah, just do it.
Why do they call it that?
Just an up and down.
You know, you got your shirt and your pants.
Usually, they're the same, like, fabric.
But that's the style.
It's a long shirt.
I would expect you to have on mad layers, especially because it's wintertime.
Like, you got to have more.
Where's the rest of the ensemble?
You know what?
I just came from L.A., so.
Got you.
Yeah, and now I'm hit with, like, remember the East Coast days?
And I'm like, man, I'm not prepared for this at all.
So you were at the Grammys?
Yeah.
How did you feel about that?
I know there's been a lot of controversy.
We were talking about how the Grammys responded to the fact that Adele won over Beyonce for Album of the Year.
Bunch of culturally clueless people.
And they were basically saying that people have to vote.
There's a lot of people that are able to vote and they should exercise that power.
And even Terrace Martin, who was nominated, said a lot of times he goes to these things and he doesn't see anybody like him there.
And people really need to come out and support and they want to complain about it.
Yeah, I think there's truth in that for sure.
It's similar to any election process.
Except for the president of the United States.
Yeah, maybe the Russians have something to do with the Grammys too.
But I mean, I think that it's just a tradition in the Grammy.
I don't expect anything else.
And also, I don't think that we should always hold this uh award show as the
achievement for our music even you know i'm saying it's not like you don't have to always be
justified or revered by that organization and you know i'm good friends with people that are on the
board but i don't always look to that as like the highest regard in music even though most people do
right you know so i
you know i also will say that i didn't feel i don't know how y'all felt about adele talking about
her black friends yeah i got an opinion okay what do you feel um i felt like she missed the moment
um because i feel like in moments like that she should use her privilege to combat prejudice so
don't tell me about how beyonce's music makes your black friends feel like they want to stand up
for themselves. Tell me how Beyonce's music makes you
feel like you want to stand up
for us and women.
Mm-hmm. You know? Actually, no, I agree
with that. I agree with that. Did you feel
offended by it, though? I'm not gonna say
offended. I didn't feel offended. I didn't either.
Yeah, I didn't feel offended. I didn't either, because I was talking to somebody
and I was like, well, how else do you...
If she's thinking about her black friends
how else would you
my friends of
complexion
my colored friends
my African American friends
it is true that black women do have a different
struggle than white women
she didn't say women she didn't make a gender
I know but I mean she said her black
friends I think that she just wasn't prepared to say what she didn't say women. She didn't make a gender specific. I know, but I mean, she said her black friends. I think that
she just wasn't prepared to say what she had to say
so she didn't think it out and she just said it like
I feel like she wanted to say something else. Right.
But she second guessed herself and it came out crazy.
Like sometimes. Or maybe she didn't
second guess herself and it came out crazy.
But I mean, either way, I think that
it was meant to be heartfelt.
And I do think from just judging from Beyonce's
eyes and how she was looking,
I hope that she felt the intention behind it.
I think Beyonce did.
Yeah, it looked like it.
It's funny because Beyonce never comments on these things.
You'll never hear Beyonce be like, listen, everybody, take it easy.
She don't have to.
We speak for her.
And she's on to the next one, man.
She's moving on, man.
So, listen, why do people go to those awards, though?
Because like you said, we don't seek validation from those people.
Like, you go to every award show.
I see you at NAACP Awards.
I'm just going to stunt, man.
I'm not...
You know where I'm going, man.
I got an album out today.
I got a clop in my office.
I didn't say my...
I promoted my album and the entire red carpet.
I didn't even know who was performing.
Why do we go?
You know, I think, again, there's tradition, right?
We just keep, we're habitual people.
So we form these habits and just keep going.
But I really think that if we really have an issue with it,
then we should make an award show that is equally as valued,
but values the music that we think should be valued more.
But value comes from us, though.
Like, we do have award shows now.
Yeah, we got BT Award Show.
We have Hip Hop Awards.
We got a gang of awards.
Soul Train.
Soul Train was probably the closest thing growing up to the Grammys.
Because I would see Michael Jackson on Soul Train and be like, yeah, one day I'll be there.
So, I mean, I think it's something that we have to stop just complaining about and actually just make it happen.
Right.
And I mean, the thing about the Grammys is, though, once you win a Grammy or you perform at the Grammys, it does affect your sales and your streaming a lot.
It does.
It does.
You know, like even with
Tribe Called Quest, the song they performed, I think they
said like the streaming went up 400%.
We the people. Of that song. Yeah, we the people.
That makes sense.
Alright, we got more with Jidenna when we come back. Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
That was Notorious B.I.G. We're hypnotized.
Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy
Angela Yee. Shalom in the God. We are The
Breakfast Club.
We got Jidenna in the building.
Now, the album's finally coming out.
Yes.
I was wondering, I said,
I wonder if Jidenna has missed his moment.
No, not at all.
I'm right on time.
You know, I made an album.
It was supposed to come out earlier,
and we had a couple release dates last year.
And in the process of promoting it,
I made a second album. And so we decided
to merge the two and make
a better album that we're releasing in February.
What was the hold up?
Just creative? Creative process was still going on?
Nah, nah, nah. In promoting it, I
felt like it would be better if I made a more
holistic album. So I went back in
while we were in Nigeria
actually, in South Africa.
And then made a better album.
I saw you on Insecure, too.
That was a nice cameo that I didn't expect, you know,
before I saw that episode.
Yeah.
So that was an interesting storyline that they gave you.
Yeah, they did.
Do women, like, when they date you,
automatically try to, like, lock you in and say,
you know, so what's good?
What's going on from here?
What are we doing?
I loved it.
You smited out the chick and then just slid on her.
Wow.
No, but he never lied about what he was.
Yeah, I love it.
No, he kind of lied a little bit.
He went along with her like he thought he was doing her a favor.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You can't really do that.
Issa was like, man, this is like the corporate version of you.
Like if you were really a lawyer.
And first of all, thank you to her.
She's had an amazing year.
And she stuck true to
a promise that she gave me in college.
We went to school together. You went to school together?
Yeah, yeah. I got all this, man.
In D.C., right? Yeah.
No, no, no. In Stanford.
In the Bay. Stanford, okay.
We met in college and I used to make music
for her screenplays. She'd be writing
like, I'm writing this movie, I'm writing this TV series,
and I would make music.
Or she had a play, I'd make music for that.
That's interesting.
I didn't even know that.
Yeah, we had all these ideas of what we were going to do.
She moved to New York.
She was trying to make it there, then moved back to L.A.
So we've been friends for a minute, her and one of her original co-writers,
Tracy Oliver, and she always wanted me to act and
i was like nah i'm you know i mean at the time i was just a rapper so i'm like nah i'm just
i mean i gotta do this rap thing i'm gonna do it yeah i'm gonna be next jay-z slash nas
i mean and then then i'll then i'll start acting like pock did i had all these these dreams and
then she said then when it came, she actually stuck true to it.
And she was like, all right, you ready?
And so that was my first real acting gig.
Both of y'all knew exactly what y'all wanted to do with your lives.
From jump, yeah.
Y'all was helping each other.
Now y'all got this ecosystem where y'all can really uplift each other.
Yeah, no, it's crazy.
We got more work that we're doing together.
That's great.
Down the line.
I don't want to give a spoiler, but a lot of the things that success has come in this last year especially That's great. can network with that you meet in school. Like, I went to college with my best friend, Santi Gold. She's an artist.
And that's my best friend,
but we would have never met each other.
Like, people that have done stuff for me in marketing
and endorsements, like, they, we all
went to college together. Exactly. I mean,
there's so many. Luke Cage came out of my
Stanford Connect. Mike Coulter.
You know what I mean? Cheo, actually.
Oh, Cheo. Cheo Coco.
What's Cheo's last name? Coco, right?
Yep, Hodari Coco. A lot of, actually. Oh, Cheo. Cheo, Coco. Cheo. What's Cheo's last name? Coco, right? Yeah.
Yep, Hodari Coco.
A lot of, like you said, the music platforms.
When I go into a lot of these meetings, there's somebody that went to school.
Especially Stanford.
I mean.
Yeah.
Now it's like the cool school.
Right.
When I first got in, my dad wasn't even excited.
He was like, nobody in the village knows Stanford.
And I was like, all right, thanks.
Well, he wants you to go to Harvard.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
I always felt like. Yeah, you got to go to Harvard.
But Stanford was always like Ivy League, really hard to get into.
Yeah, it was.
Like, I mean, it's not like people didn't respect Stanford ever.
Yeah.
No, people did.
But he, like, the Nigerian way is like number one, number one.
But then it became the cool school because of the Silicon Valley boom.
Did your family understand what you were doing?
Because I know, like,
I have a lot of friends who are Nigerian,
and they always talk about how their family
wants you to be a lawyer, a doctor.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, they don't understand certain things
about the entertainment business.
No, no, not at all.
No, he didn't support that initially.
He did say that if I do music,
make sure that I'm inventing something new. And
whatever I do
in presentation, my image, just make sure
that it's something nobody's ever seen before.
So that kind of, that stuck
with me. Because he was an inventor
himself. He made the first African PC,
commercially produced African computer.
So that kind of,
you know, when your father does that kind of thing,
it's like the micro
the bill gates of nigeria yeah they called him the ali of engineers because he used to talk
uh in the papers about bill gates and steve jobs and how he had a computer with two operating
systems and they only had one and he his computer was faster than theirs like if i look back at all
the papers when he passed i was like, this dude was really out there.
He had collar ID in Nigeria in the 80s.
We didn't get it in the U.S. until the 90s.
Peter Pops was rich as hell.
No, no, no, no.
Nobody, no, definitely not.
I didn't come from that.
I mean, he was decent.
We were middle class in Nigeria.
But back then, people didn't really understand the use of a PC.
So, you know, he'd meet
with the president and the governor, and they'd be
sitting there, like, pressing the power
button, and it lights up, and they're like,
yeah, okay, good job.
So... We got late!
Yeah, man.
But I will say, back to the Stanford...
And that was it.
Was that your Nigerian accent?
I thought so.
So weird.
Yeah, he said, we'll watch you in the next episode.
But I will say, man, last thing I want to say about the school connection, though,
is that having all these connections, the rooms that I'm in,
basically off of one song, Classic Man, for the last two years,
is partially just because of the school connect.
Yoga.
Yeah, yoga too.
I love that for a number of reasons, man,
because I feel like when we talk about
quote-unquote privilege in America,
the whole basis of white privilege is based off a system.
So for black people, we have to create our own systems.
When you create your own systems, you create your own privilege.
I love the fact that y'all had that connection and y'all had that ecosystem in school and y'all continue once y'all get out of school.
I'm talking about the whole ecosystem. We always think that we have to do it alone.
Like, all right, forget our communities. If we go out and vote.
It's all the same damn stories I heard my whole life. The way you do it is you have to have another country or in black people's circumstance and Latinas as well.
There's actually entire continent that you have at your disposal and you have to create that economy around you.
Most people here are not from here.
All immigrants.
300 years ago.
You know what I'm saying?
It's either by force or it was by running from something.
I mean, even the so-called forefathers of this country were running from Great Britain,
you know, once they decided, no, we're not going to deal with that crown no more.
So it's always ironic when the president talks about it, immigrants in the way that he does.
His own wife.
Yeah, his own wife.
He says she's miserable now.
I heard that.
I'm sure you and Yvonne Orji had an ill connection.
Yeah, we did.
She's from Nigeria, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's hilarious.
Yeah, she is hilarious.
And it was hilarious that she came on the show
and talked about the lack of orgies that she had.
She's a virgin.
With that last name.
You looking like her.
Yeah, right.
No, I believe her.
There's a lot of Nigerian women that have that same story.
Virtuous.
I mean, yeah, it's just like, it's a super religious country.
Gotcha.
And the parents would really drill that into you.
Right.
Now, are you in the game playing in these Halloween costumes?
Y'all playing it?
Y'all call each other like, I'm going to be you this year, you be me?
If we could, yeah.
No, we didn't plan it.
But you know what's interesting?
The first year when he dresses me, I was in a Halloween costume store looking for a bodysuit.
So I was like, because I'm going to be the game this year.
Then he beat me to the punch.
I saw it on my phone.
I was like, damn, he already got it.
I couldn't find the bodysuit.
And that was that.
So I did it the next year.
Well, Jidenna's album, The Chief, is out today.
They said you have a lot more things to do.
So I got a text that you have to go. The album, The Chief, is out today. They said you have a lot more things to do. So I got a text that you have to go.
The album, The Chief, is out.
I'm excited.
It's out everywhere.
iTunes, Spotify, blah, blah, blah.
If we always talk about and we all as artists and so-called celebrities, we always have to do these things for politicians.
Like go out and vote.
Go out and vote.
I wish politicians did a campaign for us as artists.
Because if you, when you buy an album.
You really want Trump telling people to buy your album?
Not.
You want him to tweet about it?
Actually, yeah.
He should.
I'll take that.
I'll take that, man.
That's half the country.
I'll take that in a second.
Would I perform for Trump?
I wouldn't perform for Trump.
I'd perform in his face.
My man, Jidenna. his album's in stores right now.
Thank you for coming, my brother.
All right, thank you.
Do people say in stores still or do they say available now?
Yeah, available now.
You're right.
You're right.
Available now on all platforms.
Man, that's real.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Jilly Yee, Charlamagne Tha God, we are the Breakfast Club.
That's about Detroit.
What's going on, Charlamagne?
Charlamagne, we up?
I was talking to...
I was looking at clips from the Trey Songz interview.
That's actually up online right now
because everybody's giving Kiki Palm a hell
because she lied.
Clearly.
He said she lied?
Oh, about talking to Trey.
Yeah, Trey said he never spoke to Kiki.
Yeah, Trey said he never spoke to her.
Right.
All right.
Well, let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Cameron.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Well, how did Joe Button and Cameron get into this beef?
I don't even understand how this first happened.
But this all started with Cameron going live on
Instagram and discussing his issues he's had with Jim Jones here's what he said about copywriting
Bird Gang so what I did was I'm just being totally honest I copywrote the name Bird Gang because I'm
like if you're not trying to do nothing shitey or trying to start a beef or separate yourself
it shouldn't matter if I got it what's the big. I'll just hold it and put it to the side.
Alright, well, this turned out
with Joe Button
then responding and weighing in on
what Cameron had to say, because, you know, he has his podcast.
He weighs in on a lot of different things.
Here's what Joe Button said.
Dog, when he said,
you told me you wasn't doing nothing with
Bird Gang, so I copyrighted it?
Yeah. I'm gonna f*** him up. Gang, so I copyrighted it? Yeah.
I'm going to f*** him up immediately.
I'm f***ing you up.
What are you talking about?
I don't care if you're my brother.
You're going to f*** up immediately.
That's why I say I get you.
I don't understand that.
All right.
Well, Cameron, I guess saw that on Vlad TV.
He says, somebody wake Joey up because he ain't going to open my DM.
Despite what people think, I got genuine love for Capo.
We know each other's families.
It would never go there, not on my end.
But you, you can't afford these
problems. You think ransom was at your door?
I mean, Button was very aggressive.
Button was very aggressive
in his approach. Now, Cameron
has since deleted that post, and after that
he put up another
picture, a video of
Joe Button and since Santana
and he said, my apologies to Joe.
Just spoke to him.
I jumped the gun.
My bad, bro.
Much love to you and the missus.
Well, Joe jumps out the window.
I can understand.
But the thing about Joe, you just got to understand the intent is never really there.
Joe probably ain't smoking a cigarette yet before he did the podcast.
Talk to him after he smokes a cigarette.
It might have been more to that story.
Just not that clip.
Right.
And I
Yeah well
It was on Vlad TV
It was on Vlad TV
He said it on Vlad TV
But I'm saying
No that wasn't on Vlad TV
Vlad posted it though
Oh yeah Vlad posted it on Vlad TV
And that's where Cameron responded to it
From a post from Vlad TV
Joe's podcast is
I'll name this podcast later
Right
To Joe and Rory
I'm glad that they
Did manage to settle things
Somehow offline And you know what Like Joe Button Understands Sometimes because of who you are So to Joe and Rory. I'm glad that they did manage to settle things somehow offline.
And you know what?
Like Joe Button understands sometimes because of who you are,
when you weigh in on things, the average person, it wouldn't matter.
But as an artist to another artist, people get more upset.
And Joe sounded very aggressive.
Joe sounded like he wanted a fade.
Yes, he did.
He didn't sound like he wanted a fade.
He was going through what he thought about at that time.
Yeah, he was in the moment.
All right. Now, Mark Anthony has a new girlfriend.
He's 48 years old, and now he's dating Mariana Downing.
She's a 21-year-old model.
So he has gotten divorced.
His divorce was finalized on Monday, but they've been separated since November.
So now he has a much younger girlfriend.
It's always so weird to me, man.
You're almost 50 years old, and you're dating a 21-year-old? Yeah. Like, I can't be going. That's always so weird to me, man. You're almost 50 years old and you're dating a 21-year-old?
Yeah.
I can't be going.
That's a 27-year age difference.
But just think, you had hair on his penis before this baby was even born.
You had hair on his penis?
No, you had hair on your penis before the woman you had sex with was even born.
That's kind of strange.
Eh.
Eh.
You looking at a picture of her?
Yeah, she...
Revolt TV?
She's not a 21-year-old you can't deny. You know what I mean? her? Yeah, she... Revolt TV.
She's not a 21-year-old you can't deny.
You know what I mean?
You can have some morals with that one.
He's stupid.
You know what I'm saying?
You can have some morals with that one.
You can be like, ah, nah, you're 21.
All right, director Roman Polanski is planning to return to the United States.
He fled the country for Europe because he thought the judge in his case was going to give him 50 years in prison, which is what prosecutors suggested.
And that is for when he had sex with a 13-year-old.
He was accused and convicted of raping a child after a photo shoot in Los Angeles back in
1977.
He spent 42 days in prison before he was released and fled the country.
He's been living in France mainly since he fled the United States.
And he won an Oscar after that.
Let's throw that out there, too.
Right. Well, he's trying to return now because he's saying
that he was cut a deal and
that deal was that he wasn't going
to get any more jail time. He's supposed to get 42
days or he's supposed to serve
48 days in prison according to the deal.
Well, even the woman that was
13, she's a woman now, Samantha Geimer.
She said at 13 years old she was raped by
Roman Polanski. She says the system did him dirty she forgives him and she wants him to be a free man here's
what she had to say i think they should release it i think the only reason they're keeping it sealed
is to cover up their own misconduct in the da's office and in the court so i'm all for the truth
getting out he's apologized i forgive him forgive him. I know that he's
sorry and he didn't mean to hurt me and
you know, he's admitted what he did.
He went to jail and I'm not going to
carry a bunch of resentment
and much worse things happened
to people. I'm aware of that. So I kind of
feel like, you know, bad things happen.
Wow. Bill Cosby and Nate
Parker got ruined. So Roman Pileski
can't come back in the country. You go to jail, sir.
No, I won't allow it. Not on my watch, damn it.
Birth of a Nation flopped because of Nate Parker's old allegations that he actually beat in court.
Bill Cosby about to die. He's blind now.
You are 13 years old.
No, we won't have it. No way, Jose, Roman Polanski can't come back in the country.
You may forgive him, but we don't.
All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
All right, thank you, Ms. Yee.
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.
