Can I live? You are out of control. I can't even deal with you. Y'all are so petty. Why are y'all so petty? The world's most dangerous morning show.

DJ Envy. Captain of this bitch. Angela Yee. I stay in everybody's business, but in a good way. Charlamagne Tha God. The ruler rubbing you the wrong way. The Breakfast Club. Made for everybody.

Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlamagne Tha God. Peace to the planet. Guess what day it is. Guess what day it is. Hump Day. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Yes, it's Wednesday, Hump Day, middle of the week. Good morning, everybody. How are you? Good morning. How was everybody's night yesterday? Welcome back, Yee. It was good. As you know, I know you know, when I was driving back from D.C., my tire came off the car on the highway. Not the hubcap, the whole tire.

Yeah, the tire. Not the rim. The rim was actually still on the car. Which is crazy. Usually you see that with big 18 wheelers and huge trucks. You don't really see it on cars as much. Yeah, that's never, ever happened to me in life, ever. So fortunately, everything's taken care of. Shout out to Steve B. from BMW of Freeport. They actually came. I had to wait until like 3 in the morning. They sent a tow truck to get the car, brought it in, fixed everything,

and then dropped it back off yesterday at 2 p.m. Nice. So I didn't even have to leave my house. So I appreciate that. Let me ask you a question. Have you rotated the tires since you purchased the vehicle? No, but it's only a year old. Okay. You have to do that every year?

I mean, if you drive it, usually people rotate the tires, so the tires... I only have 8,000 miles on my car, too. Okay. But I'm saying this never happened to me before. This is not like my first, you know... Did they fix it for free or they charge you for the tires? No, it's free. Everything's free. My tires are insured.

I have all of that. So I don't have to pay a dollar. Oh, that's perfect. Okay. All right. Well, I'm glad you're okay. Me too. It was scary.

All right. Well, this morning, Tyra Banks will be joining us. The legend. The whole legend, Tyra Banks. She's got a theme park, right? Yeah, she got a theme park. She's got her own theme park. Model Land.

Model Land. I don't know when it opens up, but I think it opens up this year. It's called Model Land. We'll kick it with her about that. She got her own Six Flags. Her own Disney. I love that. You might be putting a lot of sauce on that.

Maybe a lot. But it's in the ballpark. You know her net worth is like $90 million? Tyra is a great businesswoman. Yes, she is. For her, she is living life. Tyra is a great businesswoman. Tyra Banks has lived a great existence.

Yes, she has. It still continues. When you take her professional resume and, you know, look at all the things that she's done. Yeah. And she made a nice transition from a young age modeling and then turning that into something to help other models out. That's right. And then making a whole entire, just her whole conglomerate out of that. So, that's Tyra.

She'll be joining us next hour. And then we got front page news. What are we talking about? The Democratic presidential debate from South Carolina yesterday. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. All right. Let's get in some front page news. Where we start with you? Well, we are going to talk about the Democratic presidential debate

that was in South Carolina. A lot of people were saying that it was a free for all, people talking over each other, talking over the moderators. There was just no order to things. So some of the things that happened, Bloomberg always under fire. And here he is talking about almost kind of slipping up and saying that he bought the Democrats in Congress. Let's just go on the record. They talked about 40 Democrats. 21 of those were people that I spent $100 million to help elect. All of the new Democrats that came in, put Nancy Pelosi in charge, and gave the Congress the ability to control this president.

I got them. I bought them. Bloomberg still did great last night, though. I mean, based on the last debate, and he looked like Deontay Wilde in the ring with Tyson Fury last debate, he came back swinging this debate. Yeah, they were critical at Bloomberg

over his support of certain Republicans previously. Also, at Bloomberg, he was saying that basically, Russian interference, they want Bernie Sanders to run against Donald Trump because then they feel like because Sanders is a weak candidate, Donald Trump will win again. Donald Trump thinks it would be better if he's president. I do not think so.

Vladimir Putin thinks that Donald Trump should be president of the United States, and that's why Russia is helping you get elected so you'll lose to him. Why do any of those candidates think they're better than Bernie Sanders though? Like clearly the people have wanted Bernie Sanders since 2016. Why do they think that they'll be more formidable opponents than Bernie Sanders? Alright, well in addition to that, of course, Bloomberg's

stop and frisk came up again when he was mayor of New York and Mayor Pete also had some things to say about stop and frisk. It was about profiling people based on their race. And the mayor even said that they disproportionately stopped white people too often and minorities too little. And I'm not here to score points. I come at this with a great deal of humility because we have had a lot of issues,

especially when it comes to racial justice and policing in my own community. And I come to this with some humility because I'm conscious of the fact that there's seven white people on this stage talking about racial justice. All right. In addition to that, Mayor Pete had some things to say about Bernie Sanders, because, you know, Bernie Sanders is the frontrunner. So everybody's taking shots at him. And what he had to say about the things that he wants to do in his ideals just won't work i'll tell you exactly what it adds up to it adds up to four more years of donald trump kevin mccarthy is speaker of the house and the inability to get the senate into democratic hands the time has come for us to stop acting like the presidency is the only office that matters

look hello if you want to keep the house in Democratic hands, you might want to check with the people who actually turned the House blue. 40 Democrats who are not running on your platform. They are running away from your platform as fast as they possibly can. I don't know what they get out of attacking Bernie either, though. Because to me, there's no winning in the Democratic debate because they just spend all of their time attacking the front runner instead of telling the American people what it is that they plan to do. Why are they different? Why should I vote for you based off you? All right, well, Bernie Sanders has his ideas of what needs to happen

with the whole legalizing weed business. On day one, we will change the Federal Controlled Substance Act, which, if you can believe it, now equates heroin with marijuana. We're going to take marijuana out of that and effectively legalize marijuana in every state in the country. believe it now equates heroin with marijuana we're going to take marijuana out of that and effectively legalize marijuana in every state in the country what we are also going to do is move to expunge the records of those people who are arrested for possession of marijuana and i'll tell you what else we're going to do we're going to provide help to the african-american latino

native american community to start businesses to sell legal marijuana rather than let a few corporations control the legalized marijuana market. I'm all for expunging the records. I'm also for letting people get into the weed business. But every black person doesn't want to open a dispensary and sell weed. You know what I mean? But I guess you want to make sure they have the opportunity if they so choose. Yeah.

That's a lot of bull crap to you. Like, let's say what they want to hear. Okay, well, we're going to give you blacks and Latinos weed spots. And then we're going to expunge your records. They should definitely expunge people's records. Because marijuana is legal now. Like, if you were arrested for that, that shouldn't be something. But that's easy to say.

That's what everybody talks about. That's easy to say. It's dream selling season. Yes, it is. Buy the dream that best caters to you. That's all it really boils down to. That's what everybody talks about. That's easy to say. It's dream selling season. Yes, it is. Buy the dream that best caters to you. That's all it really boils down to. That's what it feels like. Because even when Bernie says, you know, he wants people to open up weedless print trees, that's cool.

But Mike Bloomberg turns around and says he wants to just create 100,000 black-owned businesses, period. So pick your dream, people. Everybody's selling you a dream. Pick the one you like. All right. And lastly, I just want to play this clip of Bernie Sanders, because he did comment on everybody after the debate. He was talking about how everybody did take shots at him because he is the front runner. Well, I guess when you win the popular vote in Iowa and you win the Hampshire primary and you win the Nevada caucus, this is what happens. Your name gets

mentioned a whole lot. He's right. I get it. But it's still a whack of every candidate to go at him in that way, because once again, I would like for the candidates to tell the American people that are watching this debate, what are you going to do for us? Why should we vote for you? All right. Well, I am Angela Yee. That's your Front Page News. Well, I'm voting for Biden for Senate.

You're voting for Biden? The other Biden? The other Biden. I'm voting for the other Biden. The other Biden or the Biden that was on stage last night? The other Biden. According to him, there's two Bidens. The other Biden. I'm voting for the other Biden. The other Biden or the Biden that was on stage last night? The other Biden. You know, according to him, there's two Bidens. Yeah, I'm Biden. The other Biden, I'm voting for Senate. Okay.

All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Phone lines are wide open. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

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

Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best and you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing. Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Oh, man, Fred from Milwaukee. Where you been, Fred? Sir, I just want to say I appreciate the love, brother. I ran into you at the day party with you and Fab, man. Nothing but love, brother. You showed nothing but love.

I used to call all the time and talk about trying to get some poom poom. Then Trav started calling and talking about sucking feet. And it seemed like y'all was more interested in that. So I stopped calling because you called me weird. But when I met you, brother, it was nothing but love. I want to say happy birthday, Yeezy. Uncle Shala, congratulations on your childhood. DJ Envy, nothing but love, it's nothing but love. I want to say happy birthday, Yeezy. Uncle Shala, congratulations on your childhood. DJ Izzy, nothing but love, brother.

Nothing but love. You're a player, brother. You sound late as hell. My birthday was almost two months ago. My last daughter's one. And some change. What are you talking about? And it all started two weeks ago.

I haven't called in a year, brother. I just want to show love to y'all. Nothing but love. I know you dumped us. I tried to hook you up with some girls, Fred. I had girls put their arm around you and everything. Did you get lucky? I didn't get lucky, but I appreciated the dance.

And I appreciate the love. You gave me a shout out and everything, brother. You gave me 30 seconds. I got to hold your hand for 30 seconds. Nothing but love, brother. I'll never forget the moment, brother. You got to hold your hand for 30 seconds? Why was I holding hands for 30 seconds?

He just gave me a pound and said, what's up? Why was you going to be holding hands for 30 seconds? Why was y'all holding hands for 30 seconds? He just gave me a pound and said, what's up? Why was you and him holding hands for 30 seconds? That's not what he just said. Huh? Because the brother took the time to save us up to a regular guy like me, and I appreciate y'all so much. Nothing but love. I love y'all.

Breakfast, fuck. Thank you, Fred. Start calling back, man. We love you back. You got to stop holding horny men hand for 30 seconds. That's wild. You married, bro. He gave me five.

You know what I'm saying? Black men don't cheat, bro. What's up with you, man? And they hold your hands for a long time. That was Fred. 30 seconds is long. But it's funny. He grabbed my hand. He men don't cheat, bro. What's up with you, man? And they hold your hands for a long time. That was Fred. 30 seconds is long. But it's funny. He grabbed my hand.

He goes, I'm Fred. I'm the one you call a weirdo. I'm like... But shout out to Fred, man. Appreciate you hanging out with me. Trav, what's up? Yo, what's up, MV? What's going on?

Hey, Trav. We really need some new callers in the morning, man. I'm tired of this. Fred hasn't called in a year. I'm tired of this. What's up, man? Yo, Charlamagne. Yes, sis.

Don't nobody feel like hearing your hate this morning. Shut up. Nobody feel like hearing you again this morning. But go ahead, continue. Listen, I want to talk about something. Well, one, ye. Yes. Are you okay?

This is the second time God tried to take you out. First, he threw a traffic light at you and then missed you. Now, your tire's falling off. You okay? Yeah, I'm okay now. I'm fine. It wasn't, it was just a little scary, but at least we were able to pull over on the side of the highway immediately, so that was the good part. Oh, that's good.

That's good. Listen, I want to talk about another one of y'all callers that called last week on a whole rant about gay people. Shane Stone, port-a-potty guy. I thought I killed him last year, but somehow he's still living. That's his ghost.

Now someone shut his ass up, and he's still talking. Shut your ass up. Uh-oh. I think you should tell him, open his ass up. Turn him out, Trav. Oh, my goodness, man.

Oh, God. That's all I had to say. Oh, wait. Before I leave, I'll drop one of Kool's bombs on my little man. Oh, you saw him? Yeah, I saw drop one of Kool's bombs for my little man. Oh, you saw him? Yeah, I saw him.

How he look? How does he look? He look like you a little bit. Okay, so you think he's attractive. Let me ask you a question. Did he jump in your DMs? No, no, he did not, sir. But all right, y'all.

No, don't rush off the phone. So you missed it. Yesterday, Trav called and said he wanted to holler at Mello that calls here all the time. He said Mello sounds cute. And then Mello called right after it and Mello was stuttering. So we tried to make a love connection. But it didn't work out? We don't know.

We don't know. Hello, who's this? Yo, what up? Hey, Money. That's your name, Money? Yeah, Money. You know, Cash. What's up, Cash?

What's up, Cash? What up? Get it off your chest, bro. Hey, yeah, I just wanted to say, you know, with the black people, you know, like, we always want to wait for, you know, an agenda to come our way. We need to make an agenda. We need to start negotiating. You know, everybody in the world, they want to jump out of office. So what the black people need to do is say, hey, you want to jump out of office?

We'll vote getting them out. But you got to come up with an agenda for us. It's been over 400 years. We can come up with a top 10 agenda for the black community that can be done. And if they can't do it, then we vote for Donald Trump.

Do we do it for Donald Trump? We don't negotiate with terrorists. If anybody feel like Republicans, Democrats, or terrorists, anybody don't negotiate, you know, with terrorists. You know what I'm saying? So if anybody feel like Republicans, Democrats, or terrorists, you know what I'm saying, anybody want Trump out. Is anybody confused? You know. Okay.

First of all, your mouth is too close to the phone. I know. What just happened? And we can't sit in and act like there's not organizations out here that are presenting black agendas because there are. Hello, who's this? This is Trevor Treer from Southside, Jamaica, Queens. Queens, what up, man?

Get it off your chest, bro. I want to give a shout-out to my three kids, Jordan Esparin, Christopher Esparin, and Tristan Esparin, and I'm blessed, highly favored, black and blessed. That's not how it goes, sir. It's blessed, black, and highly favored, sir. Repetition of the tongue, please.

Black and highly favored. There you go. Thank you, y'all, man. I appreciate the love, man. I appreciate y'all. Let's see y'all, everyone in front of the world. Yes, sorry. Repetition of the tongue, please. I got Holly favorite. There you go. Thank you, y'all, man. I appreciate the love, man. I appreciate y'all. Let's see y'all every morning from the world. Yes, sir. Have a wonderful and blessed day.

You too, brother. Thank you, thank you. All right. Get it off your chest. I want to salute out Black Futures Lab. You know, they got a great black agenda. They put it out, actually, a few weeks ago. So for all you people who are out there saying that, you know,

black leaders need to put together a black agenda, Black Futures Lab definitely put one together. So you can go to blacktothefuture.org backslash blackagenda, and you can check it out. All right, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, you can hit us up. Now, we got rumors on the way?

Yes, we are going to be talking about making the band auditions in North Carolina. Who do you think would be the perfect judge for something like that? We'll tell you who they announced. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne

the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. So let's get to the rumors. Let's... What are we talking about, Yee? I amagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. So let's get to the rumors. Let's... What are we talking about, Yee? I am. Usually you tell us what we're teasing. I just told you. I said The Roots. They just got a street named after them.

Did you hear that, Dramos? There's a lot of talking. All right. Well, let's talk about The Roots. I just said it. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. All right. Well, Quest for Love lets y'all know that they have a street named after them in Philly. Well, first, of course, they announced it in the Philadelphia Tribune.

The city council has named East, I don't even know how to say this street, East Pass Yonk Avenue. Is that right? Pass Yonk? All right, so now that is the Avenue of the Roots. So congratulations to them. They had first started there on Pashunk and South Street. That's where they would go and do their singing at night. They said Philadelphia is still a land of music and arts and culture

and the more we bring attention to it, the better we are. So Questlove also posted a picture of the sign. He said well, this is very Philly. Technically we were supposed to wait for the vote and then like in May, come picnic time, we'd have an unveiling with confetti and Kool-Aid, but Katz was like, nope, we finna put this joint up now.

Really awesome to see the place we honed our skills and craft embrace us like this. That's dope. Yeah, that is really amazing. Dropping the clues, bouncing the roots. Well-deserved, by the way. Long overdue, it would seem like, though, right? Yeah, but, you know, they got it.

Wu-Tang just got a street named after them. Long overdue, you would think so, right? All right,, but, you know, they got it. Wu-Tang just got a street named after them. Long overdue, you would think so, right? All right, now, Yo Gotti has his own day in St. Louis, so congratulations to him. He just got his own day, and they said he does spend a lot of time in St. Louis, particularly when it comes to the prison reform initiative, Team Rock, that he spearheads alongside Jay-Z.

So now they have given him his own day in St. Louis, Missouri. I always want to know if people who aren't from someplace should get their own day. The reason I say that is because you look at somebody like Trader Truth in Houston, right? He's from Houston. Correct. So on his own day, he does something there. You know what I mean? Yeah, but the people do some things in other cities.

Like I do a lot in Atlantic City. Don't we have a day in Atlantic City? We got a day in Atlantic City. Okay, so you're going to do stuff for your day? I always do stuff for, yeah, absolutely. I always do stuff in Atlantic City. I got a day in Columbia, South Carolina. I have a day in New York.

That makes sense. You know what I mean? Yeah, all right. Because you're not from some place, you don't feel technically obligated to do something there. It's a lot of effort. I'm planning Angela Yee Day now, and it's in August. All right, now let's talk about Boosie Badass.

He has confirmed that his album with Youngboy, Never Broke Again, is almost done. Here's what he said. Man, you know why I be driving to me? I don't drive mixtapes, man. Stop saying that s***. It's an album. I get paid off my music.

I don't drive mixtapes. We got like two, three more songs to do. I want to do about 13 songs. We got nine. I thought y'all just canceled Boosie last week. Didn't y'all just cancel him? Or that was just playing the fitness? Yeah, he just got banned from the gym.

Some people did. I'm checking for Boosie's new album or project, whatever it is. Young Boy, by the way, last year was the biggest music act on YouTube. You know that? And he just put out a new project, still flexing, still stepping. Kids love him being a young boy. They sure do. Boosie is more my, that's age-appropriate music for me.

It's a dope contemporary hip-hop. Well, it might be nice for you to listen to them together. They're both from Baton Rouge. I got no choice if they're putting out a project together. Well, yeah. So now you can finally hear some young boy music. All right, Octavia Spencer, as you know, she is playing America's first female self-made millionaire,

CJ Walker, and that's going to be in a miniseries on Netflix. And they have actually released that trailer now. The show features Blair Underwood, Tiffany Haddish, Bill Bellamy's in it, Kevin Carroll, and it's inspired by the book On Her Own Ground, The Life and Times of Madam C.J. Walker that was written by Madam C.J. Walker's

great-great-granddaughter. So that will be out on March 20th. See, those are great stories. I love these stories. Because it's Black History Month, right? So they always tell you to learn about great black historians. Madam C.J. Walker was one of them. Right. Black people had a history.

That's not just slavery, people. Madam C.J. Walker was an entrepreneur, philanthropist. She was rich as hell. One of the richest African Americans back in the early 1900s. And I love these stories. And we got to support these type of stories, too. All right. Now, Envy, I did this story just for you.

As a fan of The Bachelor, they now have a new spinoff that they're casting for. Have you heard about this? No, it's cool. It's actually for seniors. So they said, Bachelor Nation, this is the producer, give us your grumpiest old men,

give us your goldenest girls. Hashtag The Bachelor. Are you entering your golden years and looking for romance? Senior citizen bachelor? The producers of The Bachelor are looking for active and outgoing single men and women in their golden for a new exciting dating show. That might be dope.

Don't look down on that. I'm not. Some of us is golden girls and don't even know it. Won't acknowledge it. I don't care how much you pretend you're not what you are. You are. 65 and over. That's dope.

They go to IHOP, get free pancakes. 55, you can get those, baby. You know that already? You count it? 55. You get some IHOP. What else can you get? Yeah,. That's dope. They go to IHOP, get free pancakes. 55, you can get those, baby. Oh, you know that already? You count it? 55. Yeah, you get some IHOP. What else can you get? Yeah, that'd be dope.

Nothing wrong with that. And people got to have a life, too. You're right. All right, and the Super Bowl halftime show, do you know how many complaints they got from the FCC? Over 1,000, it has to be. Definitely over 1,000. It was that tongue wag.

They got more than 1,300 FCC complaints. That's the Federal Communications Commission. And some people compared that performance to a porno show or a strip club act. Goodness gracious. One person said it was disgusting and offensive. Minors were watching. How can they put this on when children are watching? It was like a porno show.

It was that tongue wag, man. You think that's what it was? It was that tongue wag. Somebody said, I do not subscribe to the Playboy channel. We do not buy porn for $20 a flick. We simply wanted to sit down as a family and watch the Super Bowl. I'll be honest with you, man. You know what I'm saying? Janet Jackson showed a little areola and drove America crazy.

I think that Shakira and J-Lo should get that same image just because. There's a total difference. I don't care. All right. So just so you know. What you did to a black woman, do to them too. Get that smoke. I don't feel sorry for them.

They were naked. I don't care. What state would you guess? Nipple is naked do to them too. Get that smoke. I don't feel sorry for them. They were naked. I don't care. Nipple was standing. What state would you guess? Nipple is naked. Areola. What state would you guess that most of the complaints came from, if you had to guess? I saw four cheeks.

It has to be somewhere in the south somewhere, like one of those, I don't know. Where? Texas had the most complaints. And the only state that had no complaint filed at all? New York, Bronx. Vermont. Bronx. It's not a state, Envy.

I know. That's why I said New York, Bronx. Vermont. Oh. Bronx. It's not a state, Envy. I know. That's why I said New York. I wouldn't expect anything less. The same way a black woman's areola drove them white people crazy, brown cheeks drive them crazy too. Okay? I wouldn't expect anything less. Alright, I'm Angela Yee. Glad to keep in that same energy. Is your rumor report. I just like consistency. Oh my goodness. Alright.

Front page news. What are we talking about, Yee? We are going to talk about coronavirus. Officials are warning and they're saying it's not if, it's when. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

E.J. N.V. Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting with, Yee? Well, let's start with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

They are warning Americans that health experts do see the coronavirus spreading in the United States right now. I believe we are at 57 cases and they do expect that it will be spreading. So they said now is the time for U.S. businesses, hospitals and communities to begin preparing for the possible spread of coronavirus. They said the CDC continues to work with business, education, and healthcare sectors, encouraging employers to be prepared. They're saying Americans need to think about if their work is disrupted or if schools need to close,

how your life would be significantly impacted. What do you think is coming first, the coronavirus or Jay Electronica and Jay-Z's album? What's coming first? I think Jay Electronica. Well, the coronavirus is already here. I'm talking about in America. Yeah, it's here in America. I just said there's 57 cases.

So why are they saying it's coming? I think talking about spreading. Like, what are we going to do if we have to close schools? Right now, it's only 57 cases. But as you can see, it's been spreading really quickly over in China. So it could spread just as quickly here now that it's here. Oh, I didn't know it was here yet. I thought they said it was coming.

But how do you prepare for the coronavirus? Like, what more can you do? You can't. There's nothing you can do. I guess what they're saying is to make sure that hospitals have that medication ready so that there's not a shortage, so you should make sure you have that now. But they said it's not curable, right? Um, it can be treated. And let's be clear, people are not all dying from it. No. It's only, I think, like

2 point something percent of people that have actually had fatal cases of coronavirus. So you can treat it. And the other thing that they're trying to prepare for is what if you go to work and then somebody gets diagnosed and then they have to shut down your job? Or what if it comes to a school? Somebody in school gets it. And it's here in America already?

Yeah, there's already 57 cases in America. Wow. Yeah. Where? They said they actually just got four more patients because they were on a cruise ship. And they ended up getting that here. Yeah, they were saying the only thing that can help prevent it and stop it is make sure you wash your hands, you cover your mouth when you cough. It's the same thing when you got the flu. Yeah, that's what it sounded like to me. When you got the flu or a common cold. Yeah, so it can be person

to person transmissions and they want to make sure that people are just aware of what's going on and what the symptoms are so you know to get checked. At least 2,700 people have died in China. And they said worldwide, the count is over 80,000 people that have it worldwide. 2,700 have died worldwide. So just giving you all that. All right, now let's talk about the Democratic presidential debate in South Carolina last night. Some of the other things that happened. Elizabeth Warren, she was challenging Michael Bloomberg on his comments on abortion. When I was 21 years old, I got my first job as a special education teacher. And by the end of the first year, I was visibly pregnant. The principal

wished me luck and gave my job to someone else. Pregnancy discrimination, you bet. But I was 21 years old. I didn't have a union to protect me and i didn't have any federal law on my side so i packed up my stuff and i went home at least i didn't have a boss who said to me kill it the way that mayor bloomberg never said that i've said to one of his pregnant employees. People want a chance to hear from the women who have worked. I never said that. And for the record, if she was a teacher in New York

City, she would never have had that problem. We treated our teachers the right way. And the unions will tell you exactly that. Elizabeth Warren was whacked for that, though. If you're going to reach and tell somebody that you told a woman to kill a baby. He said, I never said that. Have some factual evidence to back it up. Not he said, she said. My gosh.

It's a debate stage, not social media or a blog. You can't just throw stuff like that out there. Another thing Elizabeth Warren actually tried to call Bloomberg to task for was those NDAs that she wanted to have a release so the women who signed those documents, the original NDAs, would speak out and be able to have

their say, here's what happened. But what happened here is we went back 40 years, and we could only find three cases where women said they were uncomfortable. Nobody accused me of doing anything other than just making a comment or two. And what the senator did suggest was that we release these women from the nondisclosure agreement. I did that two days later, and my company has said we will not use nondisclosure agreement. I did that two days later and my company has

said we will not use nondisclosure agreements ever again. The Senator has got it and I don't know what else she wants us to do. We're following exactly what she asked to do. I'll tell you exactly what I want you to do. And the trouble is with this Senator, enough is never enough. We did what she asked and thank you. We've probably made the world better because of it. And by my company renouncing using these, we probably changed, hopefully, the corporate landscape all across America.

What now? When I pull your card and I release the women from the NDAs and I abolish the NDAs in my companies, I did exactly what you told me to do. Now what? Alright, well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your Front Page News. Alright, thank you, Ms. Yee. Now, when we, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Front Page News. Alright, thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, Tyra Banks will

be joining us. Yes, the whole legend. The whole legend. I love Tyra Banks. So we're going to kick it with Tyra Banks. What's her net worth? $90 million when I look at it. Listen, stuff like that matters. Who does it matter to? Me. And people out there that are aspiring to build things and create things.

Yes. Well, Tyra Banks, when we come back, all right, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired, depressed, a little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country.

I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There are 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Laudonia.

I'm Jackson I, King of Capriburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I trade my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead.

Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullets. We need help! We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan.

Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities

for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going. This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself.

We got a special guest in the building. A whole legend. Tyra Banks, welcome. That's right. Hi. Good morning. I'm so excited. This is the first time I've ever been here.

I know. It's crazy. Where you been? I've been watching you. Okay. Good morning. I'm so excited. This is the first time I've ever been here. I know. It's crazy. Where you been? I've been watching you. Okay. This is not in the room. We appreciate you. Thank you.

You here to talk model land? I'm here to talk model land, yes. You got your own theme park? Everybody says it's a theme park. It's not a theme park. It's 21,000 square feet, and it's inside, so it's a lot of square feet, but it's not like we're outside with roller coasters and stuff like that. I thought you had your own six flags

at Disney World. No, not yet. It's on the Monaco Pier. Exactly, it's right near the pier. So what is Model Land? Model Land is a place that you can come and live the ultimate modeling fantasy for everybody. But in person, can you imagine? You are in person

living and walking through this wonderful attraction and experience where you get photo shoots with professional lighting. Actually, yes, with professional lighting and tips and tricks from me. Okay. We take you through this wonderful shopping experience. We have a wig shop called Snatched. Yes, where you can buy the craziest wigs and fun wigs to, like, enhance your experience. So if you're bald, you can do something.

I mean, are you bald? I got hair. You know what I'm saying? I got hair right here. Yes, but you can do, like, different wigs. And the wig shop is called Snatched. If there are some girls in the room, they would laugh at that because that's, like, a word that we use. He knows what you're talking about because he did not have that hairline about three months ago.

I let my hair grow in hand. Is it painted in or is it plugged in? It's plugs. Oh, plugs are cool. She's going to touch it. Whoa. Oh, that looks good. No, it's real.

It doesn't look good. It's real. Plugs, Ms. Banks. Well, if it's plugs, it looks real. And if it's real, it doesn't look like plugs. All right. Yes. Whatever makes you feel good, right?

Yeah. I think so. All right. Yes. Whatever makes you feel good, right? Yeah. I think so. But yeah, so, you know, I kind of compare Model Land to America's Next Top Model. So with America's Next Top Model, it was a TV show. People could watch it, you know, watch the television, watch it on their phone, whatever, but couldn't really live it, right? And at Model Land, you're stepping into this world where you are taking the most amazing pictures, going through this storyline as if you're a student at the Model Land Academy, needing to like ace your tests while you're shopping and having an amazing time, too.

What's the bigger purpose of Model Land? Like how will it help somebody's like fashion or beauty or even their self-esteem? What's the purpose behind it? Yeah. So first of all, I do talk about the self-esteem. I'm so happy you asked that because a lot of people don't ask that. Like my purpose when I've created this, I've been working on it for 12 years. Wow.

Yes, is to do what I call the Flintstone vitamin effect where like you eat the vitamin and you chew it and it tastes sweet, but there's all this good stuff in there for you. So there's all these messages in there about combating beauty. For instance, like when you come to Model Land, it represents this place that is telling us that we're not good enough. Like, you know, you need to be skinny, you need to be this, you need to be that. However, there's like a revolution, an uprising.

I call it like a Nat Turner uprising. I love those. Let's talk. Yeah, it's where everybody... Stop that. Where everybody that's coming to Model Land is about that uprising and we're about to take back beauty. Like all beauty matters at Model Land. With that being said, how do you feel about a lot of these Internet models and a lot of the Internet people, people just in general, getting fake butts, boob jobs, liposuction. A lot of people are dying because of these surgeries because they're trying to be, quote unquote, perfect.

Yeah. What is perfect? You know, the crazy thing is like there's these trends that go in and out of fashion. You know, at one point it was no booty and everybody was taking their booties off. And now it's a big booty and like you're getting a fake booty. And then it was no boobs in the 70s and it was big, kind of big boobs in the 80s, huge boobs in the 90s. So it just goes in and out of fashion. And there's a lot of pressure to look a certain way. Even when I was a model, I used to be like back in the day before it was like normal to speak truth. I'd be like this weave on my head and show myself with no makeup on 20 years ago.

It's important for the people that are putting up an image to tell the truth and to kind of show that. And that's what I do, like live that. Didn't they used to tell you that you was too tall, too thick? Too thick and too black. Too black. And that's so strange to me because I would feel like somebody like you would have revitalized everything, right? Yeah.

Because you are such a success. You would think they would look for more attire, but I don't think that that happened. Yeah, no, it was interesting. I did a really good job of like breaking into like the more commercial side of modeling, like Victoria's Secret and Sports Illustrated. And there really hasn't been black girls like that have really been like household huge name,

you know, and I've tried to mentor a couple of girls and stuff, but it's not just about mentoring. It's about the industry helping that happen as well. So there's still time. Is the day of the supermodel over? No. Because I remember growing up, it was you had people that you idolized and women idolized

and fellas idolized, but I don't see that anymore. What supermodel did you want to be like? Did you want to be like Tyson Beckford? I'm like, you said you idolized supermodels. What supermodel did you idolize? What? I didn't say I did. I said people did.

Okay. But yes, I wanted to be like Tyson Beck, but I sure did. All right? I sure did. I did a hundred sit-ups and it didn't work out for me. But I tried. Okay. I want to know.

Okay. No, today there are supermodels like Ashley Graham, who is what we call curvy and thicker and luscious and beautiful. And then there's Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid. And, you know, so there are girls today that are doing it, but... Jordan Dunn, right? Jordan Dunn. Jordan Dunn.? Jordan Dunn exactly but right before them there was like nothing like nobody really

popping maybe a few but not really so there's like a resurgence of it but what I like about the resurgence is that it's much more diverse for you did you make the transition from modeling to business effortlessly or has it always been business? Was that always your mindset coming in? I was always really strategic.

Like there were models I would see when I was like a model in Paris and I'd be like, oh gosh, she's so beautiful. She looked way better than me. She's going to do her thing and surpass me. But I realized it was really about strategy and I feel like a lot of very successful people, including the people in this room,

we are talented. However, there's a business and we understand how to differentiate ourselves and be different to stand out. And that's a lot of strategy and a lot of business. So it was always there. Did you have an end game back then? My mama used to tell me to leave before they left me.

Wow. Yeah, she was like, look at that model. She was cool and hot. Where is she now today? Like that was literally a year ago and that's gonna happen to you one day. Yeah, it's cute. Everybody wants Tyra

in their fashion show but it won't be forever. So what is the game after fashion? What is the game after? So I was always like 10 steps ahead almost in fear a little bit.

Like I got to make sure I have a plan. I can't just be kicked out and like be nothing. Do they still call and want you to do fashion shows and you turn them down or do you think about it?

I literally just came out of retirement. Yeah, last year. I came out of retirement. Yeah. Last year I came out of retirement, um, actually from model land, because here I am saying that I'm creating this place where everybody can come families, all ages, kids, mamas, grandparents can come to model land, live their fantasy self. But here I was, I retired from modeling because I was aging and needed to leave. So I was like, I'm going to come out of retirement and I'm going to come out like a big way. Like if I was a boxer, I would be coming out like and just, you know, coming and battling

like the biggest boxer there was out there. And so I decided to do Sports Illustrated again. And so I was on the cover of a Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition last year. You act like you didn't see that envy. You act like we didn't have a whole report on that. Yeah, we did. Oh, okay. It was the first time the Sports Illustrated website broke. First time. I can see why.

Really? Yeah, I can see why. Isn't it different though? Black beauty standards are different than white beauty standards, I think, because the aging process is different. How old are you? 75? 41. Literally, my team member Alana we were getting ready this morning and I was getting ready she's like dang it you look 28 but yeah it's a little bit of you know tricks with my makeup and uh

jeans because when you talk about aging out like what is what is that yeah you know what I guess it's not yeah for for a lot of people of, it's not so much aging out because you're looking a lot older in the fashion industry. It's just like, okay, it's just time. We've had enough. And it's time to move on. All right, we got more with Tyra Banks when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.

Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Tyra Banks. Now, everybody, it seems like Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Tyra Banks. Now, it seems like everybody wants to be a model now. What do you tell these young girls that want to be a model or what they should try to do? Because modeling isn't for everybody. Yeah.

So a lot of people in my generation, they don't like the whole internet and social media, how it gives everybody access. I love it. Really? This is what I have been fighting for for so long. I remember doing interviews like 15 years ago in rooms like this and saying, to me, when we get to a place where everybody has access to see some version or vision of themselves, when diversity starts to be normal, I want it to be boring. And I feel like because of social media and that access to everybody having some version of being a model is actually

helping. On the negative side with social media, you know, with a lot of kind of those like severe and extreme looks, a lot of people don't understand that it's surgery. A lot of people don't understand that it's retouching and so much and they, it can make you feel crappy. And so what I tell them is stop following those people that make you feel like that. Like scroll through your Instagram, scroll through whatever social media platforms that you're on and pay attention to what the stomach is doing, the heart is doing. And if it goes, if it goes like that, just unfollow. And not even forever. Maybe you can come back later to that person, but just unfollow it and continue to put people into your feed that lift you up.

I mean, jealousy and envy are an interesting thing, right? Because you don't know you're envious of something until you see it. And then you're like, oh, my gosh, I want that. And why do I want that? And we have been brainwashed to think that we have to look a certain way. And I'm trying to brainwash the other way. Give me some tips. I feel ugly today. Do you? I don't go to therapy until Friday. I feel ugly.

What does that mean, I feel ugly? I don't know. You look pretty ugly today. I feel a little bloated. I haven't really gotten back on track since the holidays. Could you stop, please? I don't need this negative reinforcement from you. You look a little ashy. For real?

No. They don't look ashy. You never know. They don't look... What do you use? Carmex. Oh, my God. You just gave them a commercial. What's the first tip you're going to give me?

What is that? Why are you putting it inside your mouth? And he's putting it, like, on his tongue. That's not what you put it on. It was, like, way inside your mouth. It was, like, your finger went, like, way in, and your tongue must be like burning right now. Well, now I know

why my lips are ashy. I'm putting it on my tongue. My tongue is fine, lips are ashy. What would be the first thing you told me if I told you I feel ugly? The first thing I would tell you is...

Plastic surgery. No! I would say why? What's making you feel that way? Yeah. Because a lot of the times it's not necessarily what we're saying about ourselves

but about somebody else. And a lot of the pain that we have gone through is based on somebody, a loved one, a parent, a sibling, a teacher, somebody telling us that we are not good enough. We all have those people who in your life, whether you want to say it or not, told you you'll never make it Charlemagne. This is not going to ever happen for you. Blah, blah, blah. A bunch of people.

But I do know that that stems from when i was eight and the the woman who used to touch on me when i was eight when i made her stop doing it she would tell me that i was ugly and i had a big nose oh wow yes yes because she was wanting you to make it feel disgusting about yourself so that you would continue to absolutely serve the the crap that she was doing to you absolutely yeah so you understand So you understand that. So what didn't you like about yourself if there was anything? Oh my gosh. I have cellulite. I have crazy cellulite.

I always have, even when I was super skinny. My thighs are not in, what do you call that, in the ratio to my calves. I have no calves. I have a lot of stuff. I just,

I'm a master at knowing how to cover it up and how to dress and how to pose to make you not see that as much. And that's what I'll teach you at Model Land too. And what I teach at Top Model and everywhere. Question, has being turned down often in your younger years shaped your career and work ethic? That's a good question. Um, yes. Um, I, um, I like to say that, um, my pain led to a passion.

And the pain started with being told at a modeling agency, I walk in 15 years old and they're like, oh, I'm so sorry, we already have a black girl. And then you look at the wall and there's 200 models and there's like one speck of brown on that wall and being told that many times. And then becoming a model and hearing that even more, even as a supermodel, you can't be on the cover of this magazine because they don't want a black

girl. I'm like, but my cover sold more than anybody else's on this magazine last month, more than this other girl. So why can't I? And back in the day, fashion and decisions were not just financial decisions, which killed me. I didn't understand. I'm like, but I just sold more than her. And I just, I don't understand. Today, it's a bit more about money. Back then, it was like the image of my company and this and that, and it didn't matter. So that was painful.

But doesn't the image of the company translate to money, I guess? Yes, but it, I don't, it was weird. It was, I didn't understand why was I selling more that my agency got the numbers, but I couldn't book the next cover and I couldn't do this. And girls that were selling maybe 60% of what I was would get the covers. So it was a little strange. Um, then I was told, um, you know, your booty is getting too big. You can't do these fashion shows. So constant pain, pain, pain, but then the pain led to passion,

passion to like, you know what? I got to do something about this. What can I do? And not just help myself, but help other people. Like this what can I do and not just help myself but help other people like what can I do and so I started my t-zone camps for girls and then I started America's Next Top Model and a lot of people think I started Top Model to just say oh this is fashion and I'm going to show you how to smize and walk a runway and be fierce that's the Flintstone vitamin that's the sweet part. But the vitamin and the medicine inside of it was really expanding beauty. So what I would do and my partner, Ken Mock, who's Chinese American, we would look at the landscape of women everywhere and say,

who is disenfranchised? Who's not feeling beautiful? So season one of Top Model, almost 20 years ago, I had what we called at the time, a plus size model. People were looking at me like I was crazy. She would go to different photo shoots for Top Model and we couldn't even find clothes for her because the designer didn't have clothes for her. And so she's crying and dealing with all this pain and more seasons and seasons of these girls dealing with pain because industry wasn't ready for them. But that was still the passion that I wanted to do to open up doors. The chocolate skin black girl with the short cropped hair. Now we have our beautiful Miss Universe today. 20 years ago, you know, that wasn't necessarily the thing that mainstream America was saying was

beautiful. So I made sure that time and time again, I had my beautiful chocolate sisters on America's Next Top Model. And I strategically would tell her, you are beautiful. Your picture gave me chills. Look at yourself. Congratulations. You are still in the running towards becoming America's Next Top Model. And I wasn't talking to her. I was talking to the millions of girls that look like her. So it was super strategic.

So with Model Land, it's the next phase. It's the next phase of saying, it's not a competition. You don't have to do the Tyra, pick me, pick me. You can get a ticket and come and feel so beautiful. You may get discovered. You may not, but who cares? You're going to go home with these amazing photos. And if you want, you can get a membership and come back over and over and over again

and save some money with membership too. But come back over and over and over again to fill up that need that we all have to fill validate. All right, without a move, we got more with the living legend, Tyra Banks. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop. Rest in peace, Kobe Bryant.

But stop. Okay? Tyra Banks, Kobe Bryant, musically. Fart on that record, please. Stop. No! Don't you do it. Come on, man.

Why would y'all do that to Kobe? What part? The whole song. Why would you play the song? He made the record, not me. God damn. All right, well, let's get to the rumors. Erase that from his legacy, please.

It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to him. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.

Alright, well LL Cool J was talking to Entertainment Tonight and one of the stories that he told was actually talking Kobe Bryant out of putting out an album. What kind of album? For LL Cool J. Here's what he said. Played me this album, this gangsta rap album. I was like, Kobe,

I said, come on, dog. That's not what you need to be doing, man. I was like, Kobe, I said, come on, dog. That's not what you need to be doing, man. I was confused. I was sitting there like, what are we doing? I said, you got endorsements? What are you doing? That had to be the funniest moment of my life, listening to him do gangsta rap.

That don't sound like LL Cool J. It is. Drop on the clues box for LL Cool J. LL Cool J, you already was a GOAT. You already was an icon. But now we got to put you up a couple notches for that great piece of advice you gave. Gave Kobe, B and Bryant. Shout out to LL.

All right. You need friends like that around you. Bill Cosby. I don't know if you guys saw that Bill Cosby's publicist has been criticizing the Harvey Weinstein verdict and called it a sad day for the judicial system when Harvey Weinstein was found guilty in New York court Monday of third degree rape of Jessica Mann, who was a former aspiring actress and accountant of Criminal Sexual Act in the first degree

against Mimi Haley, a former Project Runway production assistant. He's facing a sentence of 5 to 25 years. He's been accused of by more than 80 women of sexual assault and harassment, and that is spanning over decades. He was acquitted of two counts of predatory sexual assault and harassment, and that is spanning over decades. He was acquitted of two counts of predatory sexual assault.

But here is Bill Cosby's official statement from Andrew Wyatt regarding the verdict. He said, this is not shocking because these jurors were not sequestered, which gave them access to media coverage and the sentiment of public opinion. There's no way you would have anyone believe that Mr. Weinstein was going to receive a fair and impartial trial. Also, this judge shows that he wanted a conviction by sending the jurors back to deliberate after they were hung on many of the counts. Here's the question that should haunt all Americans, especially wealthy and famous men. Where do we go in this country to find fairness and impartiality in the judicial system? And where do we go in this country to find due process?

Bill, stop it. Stop, Bill. Speak for yourself. Why are you coming to the defense of Harvey Weinstein? Then this line. Lastly, if the Me Too movement isn't just about Becky, white women, I would challenge Me Too and ask them to go back 400 plus years and tarnish the names

of those oppressors that raped slaves. This is a very sad day in the American judicial system. I mean, I agree with that as well, but they're dead. But Harvey Weinstein, I don't get it. Like, what was the correlation? I don't understand what he was trying to do just now. Everybody out there that was doing the hashtag

free Bill Cosby after, oh, this is crazy. All right, now let's discuss Deion Cole. He was not happy about people roasting an outfit that he had on. I don't know if you saw it, but it was like a velour suit. And the bottom of that suit, if you have Revolt, you can see it was bell bottoms. And apparently people had a lot of negative things to say about his outfit. Well, he did a 15 minute video responding to all of the haters. And here's what he said. The part that I'm tripping over about this is

the hate that I have been receiving because I wore a bell-bottom velour velvet suit has been unreal. I've been told that I've been called a f***. I've been told I'm going to get my ass whooped. My husband told me that women, like, yeah, you ain't shit no more. You was my favorite comic. You not no more.

My b****es have denounced me for being funny. Over what now? His bell bottoms. Yeah, see, look. What's wrong with bell bottoms? Now Snoop Dogg said. I wouldn't wear them, but people wore bell bottoms. Was it a theme party?

No, but he also said that he does talk about. Was that NAACP Awards? Oh, he wilded. Why would you show up to the NAACP Awards in a bell bottom? Well, another thing that Deion Cole said was that he's very big on disco, and so he's always paying homage to disco music. He likes them. I thought it was a theme party.

No, it wasn't. It wasn't a theme party, but he does his own thing. He likes them. And he said with fashion, you have to take risks, and most of the time he makes that best dress list, but a couple times, it's been a miss. Why are comedians so sensitive, man? Y'all are comedians.

Y'all roast everybody. Y'all clown everybody. Why, when the heat is on you, you turn on your phone, go live, and start venting to your phone? He should have expected that one from those bell bottoms. Now, Snoop Dogg said that outfit was, and he put laughing emojis,

anyway, you a comedian, deal deal with it and clap back. That's a fact. Like I promise you can't nobody on earth make me mad enough to go live and vent to my phone. I'm not doing it. I'm not yelling at my phone.

I'm not complaining to my phone. And yes, you are a comedian, Dion. A funny one at that. Get on they ass. You know what though? What he was saying is that he didn't like the homophobic comments

and things like that and people saying really nasty things in that manner. What's that got to do with being gay? They said that the outfit looked like a gay in that manner. What's that got to do with being gay? They said that the outfit looked like a gay outfit,

they said. They called him a maggot. They were calling him all kinds of homophobic slurs. So they're not used to seeing brothers in bell bottoms. I guess you've never seen people in the 50s

and the 60s. Nah, not at all. Because there was brothers out there that was smashing everything wearing bell bottoms. I've never looked at bell bottoms and said bell bottoms

are synonymous with gay. Me neither. Alright, well he said it's sad that these messages come from my own kind but more about this Everything wearing bell bottoms. I've never looked at bell bottoms and said bell bottoms are synonymous with gay. Me neither. All right. Well, he said, it's sad that these messages come from my own kind, but more about this. And that's when he posted the video. All right. I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. You should keep wearing them.

Just start a trend. Just keep wearing them. Who cares? Clearly, he can't take the heat. 15 minutes of 15-minute rant and not one joke was told from Deon Cole. Get back on them people ass that's on your ass about them bell bottoms. But don't get on people's ass because that would, anyway. Who are you giving

your donkey to? You are something else. Why am I something else? Listen, let's talk hood homophones. What? Hood homophones. What is a hood homophone? I didn't want to say it because I know how I pronounce that so I didn't want to say it after that segue. Yes. But what did you the word? Homophones. I didn't want to say it because I know how I pronounce that, so I didn't want to say it after that segue.

Yes. But what did you call it? Homophones. I said homo. That's not what you said. I thought I was going to say homophone, but I said homophone. You did say homophone. I did say homophone?

Yes, you did. Okay, well, that's how I say homicide, too. Homicide. Homicide. Nigga, I'm thinking about what I'm saying. Whatever. You know the word I'm talking about. You know when you say a word, but it's not really the word?

Like road and road. Like road like the road, but then road like Rhode Island. We're going to talk hood ones of those. You get it? Yeah. All right. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumbass. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumbass. You are a donkey. It's time get donkey of the day. You get donkey of the day. You are a donkey. It's time for donkey of the day. Donkey of the day, huh? I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes.

They want this man to throw them blows, man. They wait for Charlamagne to tap them gloves. Let's go. They had to make a judgment of who was going to be on the donkey of the day. They chose you. The breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Yes, donkey of the day for Wednesday, February 26

goes to an Alabama wide receiver named Jerry Judy. Now, Jerry Judy is considered by some to be the best offensive player in the draft. I remember at one point, at least in the past year, they were saying he could possibly be the number one pick. I think that his stock has fallen just a little bit,

but he's still good. Great bright future ahead of him. But Jerry Judy has some jewelry that some people are finding offensive. See, Jerry is a young black man from guess where? Florida. Deerfield Beach to be exact. Drop on the clues box, Florida. What does your Uncle Sharla always say about Florida?

The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and indeed all of Florida. Now, Jerry Judy is proof that you can take a person out about Florida, the craziest people in America come from the Bronx and indeed all of Florida. Now, Jerry Judy is proof that you can take a person out of Florida, but you can't take the Florida out of the person. Because when I tell you why Jerry Judy is getting the credit he deserves for being stupid today, it's not because he didn't think something through. He did. Okay. He did think something through. And it's stupid. Okay.

All right. It's one thing when you don't think something through and do something stupid. It's another when you give this stupidity some real thought. See, Jerry Judy has some jewelry, and some people are not pleased by his jewelry. See, Jerry Judy has a charm. That's the Star of David. What is the Star of David? The Star of David is a symbol commonly associated with Judaism and the Jewish people. Jerry Judy, whose last name is spelled J-E-U-D-Y, also has a big-ass iced-out charm that says Jew, J-E-W.

Now, automatically, if you saw this young man wearing the Star of David, you would think he practices Judaism, right? Would you? Maybe he's a black Hebrew Israelite. I don't know. I would just assume clearly he practices some type of Jewish religion. All of that would make perfect sense but Jerry Judy is from

Florida. So of course it doesn't make sense. Jerry Judy was at the NFL Combine press conference yesterday and he was asked about his jewelry and why he wears it and he said this. So my last name Judy. People sometimes call me short for Jew, like one Jew. So I just

got a Jewish star. I'm not Jewish though. He wasn't bar mitzvahed. He doesn't fast on Yom Kippur. He probably has no idea what a kosher diet is. Yom Kippur. He probably has no idea what a kosher diet is. His father and mother

aren't Jewish from Eritrea. Eritrea? Eritrea? Eritrea? Or Ethiopia? I don't want to say it wrong. He doesn't know. It's Africa. Okay? All I'm simply saying is Jerry Judy is rocking a star, David, and he has a big-ass chain that says Jew

because his last name is Judy and people call him Jew for short. One of our producers, Daniel, is Jewish. Daniel? Yes. I have two questions. Yes.

Now, I see some Jewish folks are offended by this. Is this offensive? Personally, not to me, only because I didn't think there was any malicious intent behind it. Okay. But I thought it was really dumb. This was the combine. Don't whisper that. What did you say?

This is the combine. No, before that. What did you say? Oh, it was just really dumb. Really dumb. Okay, that was my second question. Because I think No, before that. What did you say? Oh, it was just really dumb. Really dumb. Okay, that was my second question. Because I think it's extremely stupid. Do you think it's stupid, too?

Yes. Okay. So the donkey today is deserving. Yes. Okay. Combine? Listen, what do you mean at the combine? Explain.

This is his last look before he gets drafted. Okay. So, I mean, he was projected to be the number one receiver. I think he fell behind to, like, the number two receiver. Because of this? No, not because of drafted. Okay. So, I mean, he was projected to be the number one receiver. I think he fell behind to, like, the number two receiver. Because of this? No, not because of this. Okay. But, you know, players don't want, I mean, coaches don't want to take players

that could potentially cause a headache in the locker room or bring negative attention to a team. Got you. Okay. So, you know, even if you don't find it offensive, it is extremely stupid. I think it's extremely stupid because your last name is spelled Judy, J-E-U-D-Y. People call you Jew for short. That doesn't mean go get an iced out chain made that says J-E-W, okay?

Or get an iced out Star of David. I get it. But I don't get it because there's really nothing to be got. This is what I said earlier, a hood homophone, right? I pronounced it right? Yes. Okay, it's a hood homophone, all right? You know words that sound the same, but they're spelled different.

If your name is Judy, J-E-U-D-Y, and they call you Jew for short, then they're really saying J-E-U, I would think, not J-E-W. So a star, David, isn't necessary in this situation. Why am I sitting here trying to explain this? Some donkey of the days just saw themselves. Please let Remy Ma give Jerry Judy The biggest hee haw Hee haw Hee haw

You stupid mother Are you dumb What are you going to do Without that jury though In his defense He did tweet out Don't mean no disrespect To the Jewish people

I'm sorry to the people Who take my chain offensive End quote Okay Alright Alright well thank you For that donkey of the day I'm sorry to the people who take my chain offensive. End quote. Okay. All right. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day.

It's time for Ask Ye. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Cookie. Cookie! Cookie from out of Florida, Broward County. I know you talking about us, Charlamagne. I don't know what you're talking about. What's up, Cookie? All right, Cookie, what's good?

What's your question for Yeezy? Okay, my question is, me and my husband, we rap. We spit bars. We really got bars, man. But we up there in age. We've been spitting for a long time. We 32.

And we just wondering if we should keep trying. Are you any good? You want to hear me? I got you. Yeah, go ahead. Let's hear it. Let's hear something, Cookie.

All right, you can hear it. C-double-O-K-E. Nah, you don't know me. Yeah, you may see me, but you can never beat me. You can never beat me in a hip-hop battle. Soon as you see me, fool, better skedaddle.

Survive with a paddle, I'll swim through the river. Meaning I can make it through whatever life is. I'm a quiver. Every time I spit rhymes, got your man on my hinds. Cookie Black is a diamond. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha.

Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha. Yo, I love the comedy rap, yo.

You really made me laugh. The comedy rap is dope. This is Ask Yee. Yee, what do you think? So, Cookie, a couple things here. Have you made any type of progress with your career as a rapper? I performed a couple places. I mean, I performed at the Hard Rock a while ago.

It was big. Well, at the time, I was working there, but we did like an employee talent show and I won both times. I won both times, though. I performed at a few places, you know, locally and stuff like that. Now, keep it real, Cookie. Have you been going really, really hard to pursue

your dream? Been trying, yes. You know, getting knocked down a couple times. You know, we went to an event in Orlando and it was like, oh, people not really check for older rappers right now. I'm like, yo, but I've been doing this for so long and it just so happened that

some opportunities are coming out right now. You know, where you can, you know, this artist showcase and this artist showcase and... Have you been recording music in the studio anywhere though? Yes, you can go on the Instagram at

GruEntertainmentLLC. Man, just tell her she sucks and to get a job here. I just want to say, I don't think that being in your 30s is a reason to not pursue your career as far as being an artist if you're really great at it and if you go really hard at it. You know what I'm saying? I think sometimes people want things to happen and they do a showcase here and there, but

they're not going super hard because people who really want to be in this industry have to really live, breathe, eat, sleep it, like do everything they can to make it happen. So that's why I was asking you, are you doing everything that you can? Have you been going really hard or is this something that you've been doing kind of, you know, here and there, but not really pursuing? Yeah, I've been trying to go hard. I really have been trying to. Of course, you know, with my age,

you know, I eventually had children and stuff like that, but I still, I think I've still got bars. I'm still ready to put in the work. You don't. Nah, I don't suck, man. You do. Learn to trade. You know what I'm saying? Do you have a job? Yeah, I got a job. There you me and saying I suck. Nah, I don't suck, man. You do. Learn to trade. You know what I'm saying?

Do you have a job? Yeah, I got a job. There you go. Get another one. Work, baby. I just don't want you to use age as an excuse. We know an artist right now that's putting out

his first ever album. He's in his 40s. You know what I'm saying? So I don't think that's ever... He's good, exactly. Even the white man in the room said, but he's good

because you're talking about Jay Electronica. He's good. So what I'm saying is... Hold on. So you're saying I Jay Electronica. He's good. So what I'm saying is. Hold on. So you're saying I'm not good? Oh, my God. That's what you've been saying for the last seven minutes.

I'm clocking out of this conversation. All right. Well, listen. Give everybody your Instagram. Everybody is going to weigh in and go and look at your music that you have posted and let you know what they think. This is a great opportunity for you to get some feedback. That's right.

Give them your Instagram so people can go tell you the truth. Oh, man. I'm hurt, Charlamagne. What is it? Groot Entertainment. G-R-E-W Entertainment LLC, man. I love you, though. I love y'all. I listen to you every morning. I'm hurt right now, though, Charlamagne, but it's okay. Well, I don't think you can judge it

just based off of that. Yes, you can. He has no music. He hasn't heard no music. He just heard... So what'd you think of that freestyle you just heard from her, Andy? What'd you think of what you just heard from her? I was listening. I was listening. Y'all are so full of s***.

I was listening. Y'all are so full of s***. And that's why she's gonna waste her time for the next three, four years trying to rap. She could've just had a day, a off day. Okay, sure. Cookie the Black Widow. Alright. Okay. Okay, let's Cookie the Black Widow. All right. Okay.

Okay, let's keep it going. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Local Morning. Get some real advice with Angela Yee. It's Ask Yee. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? I'm sorry, this is Anonymous. Hey, Anonymous, what's your question for Yee? Yee, I was dealing with a guy. We started messing around, but I had to deal with him for a business purpose.

I ended up going over there, and he ended up raping me but I had a boyfriend so when I went and got the rape kit done and everything and the guy and I had had sex recently before I got raped and the detective told me that I would have to have the guy that I was in a relationship with give a DNA test just to exclude him from doing it, and he's refused, which has hindered the prosecution of the other guy. I just need to know, should I leave him alone? Because I'm having mixed signals with him, even though I know as a man, you know, giving your DNA up could bring problems his way. But I don't know if I can still deal with him after he's

trying to, well, he's not trying, but he's hindering me getting justice from the other guy. Man, he, well, first of all, why is he refusing? And I just want to say, I'm sorry that this happened to you. I just want to start with that first and foremost, But I am, I guess it's great news that you are actually pursuing this case and making sure that you get some justice for what's been done to you. But why is he refusing to do this DNA test if it's something that can really be a benefit to you? I'm not understanding his excuses that he doesn't want anything, I guess, from his past to come back.

So he has some other situations he might have been involved in, His excuse is that he doesn't want anything, I guess, from his past to come back. So he has some other situations he might have been involved in, and he's scared that if he gives his DNA, he'll be linked to another crime? But he hasn't elaborated to say that. He's just like, I don't think it's a good idea. I don't want them to think that, you know, I did anything to you. And I'm like, you didn't. I know exactly who did it. I went exactly didn't. I know exactly who did it.

I went exactly like I know exactly who did it. It wasn't you but I think he's just scared to do it and at this point I can't get anything done moving forward because they need to eliminate him and his DNA but at this point I know exactly

who did it where I did everything that you're supposed to. Right. But he's not helping. Why can't they just test the other person's DNA? And if that DNA is present, like you said, then just use that as a match. Why is that? I've asked that same question to the detective, and he said that most likely the prosecutor wouldn't move forward

unless they eliminated because the other guy could blame my actual boyfriend, which I didn't think made sense at all. Right, because if his DNA is present, then clearly he did something. It doesn't matter. Right, and that's why I was like, it was nothing consensual. Even the guy, he kept calling my phone afterwards, and I made sure that I text him because I knew I was headed to the hospital.

And he apologized and everything. And I'm like, I even have everything in my phone, him admitting that he did it, him apologizing and everything. What is your lawyer saying? I reached out to a lawyer, and they said that they can't do anything until the prosecution is over with. Not the prosecution, but the investigation is over with.

And I've been trying to reach out to the detectives for four months now. I think you need to get yourself a great lawyer to handle this situation. As a matter of fact, I want to get more information for you because I don't want to give you anything that's not correct. And because this is such an important situation so why don't you hold on the line and I'm going to get your information and I will reach out to an attorney who I know just to get

a third person's advice somebody who's a legal expert because I know sometimes it can be difficult having to deal with detectives and deal with that system and to see what your options are and why something might not be. If he's telling you the full truth, if there's ways you can move forward without this, what is it that you need to be doing? And I think what you really need is a lawyer who can say, OK, this is what we need to do.

And a lawyer who can speak to your boyfriend to let him know. But it is disappointing to me that your boyfriend is not supporting you to the fullest. But, you know, I also feel like a lawyer can let him know maybe his DNA isn't even necessary because the main concern is you and you getting what you need to get done so that this is not something that has to continue to go on for as long as it has already, something that you've been having to deal with mentally.

And I'm sure, you know, it's not easy for you to have to think about this all the time when this person is walking around living his life and you haven't gotten your justice. Yes. So hold on the line. We're going to get your information and try to hook you up with somebody that can actually guide you to some options that you may have

and to explain things better because it feels a little bit strange to me. Mm-hmm. Thank you. All right. Thank you for calling. All right. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you need relationship advice, right. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051.

She's spilling the tea. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Snoop Dogg is on Red Table Talk, and that episode is out today. And part of what they are addressing, of course, is Snoop's comments to Gayle King when he was upset about what she had to say during her interview with Lisa Leslie regarding Kobe Bryant. Now, here is what Snoop had to say in defense of himself and what he felt like he was doing. I wanted to make sure that what I said was said the right doing. I wanted to make sure that what I said was said the right way. And I wanted to make sure that the message was across that we love Kobe and be respectful of Vanessa and those kids. Yes. That's what the whole intent was. Right.

To protect that woman and them babies over there because she's still grieving. Yeah. And let's give them that respect. Right. Very true. Yeah. And we know where it came from. It came from a place of hurt. Yep. I understand it. Yes. So, but as you know, and we played what Jada Pinkett Smith had to say previously

about feeling like the word bitch was too much. All right. Now let's talk about Casey Lemons. She wrote an op-ed for Variety, and she talks about celebrating African-American history all the time because it is American history. She also directed Harriet

and one of the first, the first movie she ever directed was Eve's Bayou, by the way. She also directed The Caveman's Valentine, Talk to Me,

Black Nativity, and prior to that she also was in front of the camera. She was an actress and you've seen her in things like Candyman, Silence of the Lambs,

Fair of a Black Hat, et cetera. Well, here's what she had to say. And she's also in the They've Got to Have Us Netflix series. When I was coming up as an actress, I was still doing a lot of the best friend parts, the kind of almost generic black girl best friend, I call it. That was my career. So I wasn't that mad at it because I was working, but I was unfulfilled.

Spike Lee changed everything. I remember that moment, you know. And that was She's Got to was working, but I was unfulfilled. Spike Lee changed everything. I remember that moment, you know. And that was She's Gotta Have It. She's Gotta Have It. Yeah, his first film. I think we've definitely gotten to the point where on-screen representation is a lot better. All right. Now, has anybody seen They've Gotta Have Us yet?

No. The Netflix series. I haven't seen it. So that's about African-Americans' contributions to film. And I think it's a three-part series. Here's a trailer for it in case you haven't seen it. So that's about African-Americans' contributions to film and it's a, I think it's a three-part series. Here's a trailer for it in case you haven't seen it, but it is already on Netflix. There was only one kind of

story that would get made. Thug number two. Slaves. Prostitute. The Hustler. Illiterate basketball players. I didn't think I could make films. That was something that people who were better than me did. When people see themselves themselves they engage Thereby goes let's make seven black panthers because the color that they really care the most about is green. My name is Simon Frederick

I'm a photographer and filmmaker. I've had the privilege of speaking to some of the greatest black artists in cinema We have evolved and changed cinema forever All right, so make sure y'all check that out. I'm going to be watching that this weekend for sure. All right. Now, Eminem has a challenge that he wants you guys to participate in, and that is the Godzilla challenge. Have you guys seen this? Yes.

All right. So here's Eminem's challenge that he wants you guys to spit this. He wants you to repost whatever you do on TrillaVids, and he's got prizes and reposting and all of that for his favorite ones. Goodness gracious. What exactly is the challenge? You have to rhyme like that. You got to redo that. You just got to rap like that? Say the words, yeah.

Say the words just like that. Just like he did, just as fast as he did in everything. Repeat that rhyme. Yes. Got you. In that way Repeat that rhyme. Yes. Got you. In that way. That quickly. All right.

So moving on. I need some homophones to cover my ears. All right. Ariana Grande. Let's talk about Pete Davidson's stand up special on Netflix. And it's a live from New York. All right, Ariana Grande. Let's talk about Pete Davidson's stand-up special on Netflix. And it's a live from New York, and some people did not like his jokes about Ariana Grande.

Some people thought they were hilarious. Well, if you haven't heard it or haven't watched the special yet, here it is. I did not do anything for that guy. The only thing I did do, which I am guilty of and I apologize for, is I did make that guy famous and a household name for no reason, right? I did what, like, Ariana Grande did for me, right? Yeah. Yes. I sucked his d*** at SNL. I wasn't going to do jokes about this,

but then my buddy told me, he's like, yo, I've recently heard that Ariana said she had no idea who you were and she just dated you as a distraction. So now I just think it's like fair game. So, yeah. And you're like, Pete, this isn't fair. You're like, you're airing out dirty laundry. How could you do that?

Where did she say this stuff? To her friends? In the confidence of her own home? No, she said it on the cover of Vogue magazine. Dropping the clues behind the PDD, it's all fair game, baby. All right, well, you spoke to him, Charlamagne, and here's what he had to say

about his Ariana Grande jokes. How much of it is off-limits, though? Because I saw your new stand-up special on Netflix. Yes, sir. And, you know, Miss Ariana Grande

is a punchline. Yeah, she has a couple. In a few of the jokes. Yeah. So what's off-limits for you? I think genuinely being hurtful is off-limits

or, like, anything, like, being s like being or anything. Like I want to be cool with everybody. But, you know, stand up is part of my life. That was a highly publicized thing. I feel like she got her fair run and her fair stab at it. And like I said, I don't have social media and I don't have an outlet really to express my feelings. So like, you know, stand up is just how I do it. I prefer the content and the comebacks in that way. I would rather you do it in your art than go on a Twitter rant. I would rather Ariana put it in songs.

I'd rather Pete put it in stand-up. Well, if she did an interview about it, it's open game. What's the problem? And then the song Thank U, Next alluded to her relationship as well. Absolutely. And it was a good song. I don't see the problem with what either one of them are doing. And I'm sure if you date a comedian, I'm sure you know

what it is if it doesn't work out right. And if you date a singer-songwriter, you know you're going to come up in a song. Absolutely. Even if she don't write her own music. Somebody will say, you know what you should write about? That breakup that you just had. That's right. He also said his biggest fear is he's going to get shot in the back of the head by a nine-year-old with a ponytail.

And the last thing I'm going to hear is hashtag canceled. So that all went along with that joke. All right. Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Revolt. We'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, the People's Choice mixes up next.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, it's Black History Month. What are we doing, Charlamagne? Man, today we are celebrating the born day of Erykah Badu.

The Queen Erykah Badu is 49 years old today. I'm not even going to say 49 years old. I'm going to start saying 49 years alive. She's 49 years alive today. She's a legend for several reasons. We've all heard the urban legend of people saying she got the kind of poom poom

that changes lives. That's probably why the incense she's selling that smells like her poom poom is selling out everywhere. She's a whole legend for a bunch of different reasons. But one of the best new Black History Month moments of recent times to me was when Queen Badu did a little jingle for the same thing DJ Envy does it for. Let's hear it. This is a Black History Month moment. I got a music from Korea for this. Hey, let them call me a whore for this. Baby daddy number four for this. Bunk a bitch in the head for this. Hump woke, I'm dead for this. Something down to the bone for this.

Let them use my phone for this. Call this motorola for this. Michael Jackson, he's bowling for this. Hey. That was a Black History Month moment brought to you by The Breakfast Club. That's right, right, Envy? I'm writing my email to Human Resources right now. Oh, okay. Fine.

But salute to Erykah Badu. All right. We celebrate her today on her born day. As we always do. All right, now, when we come back, we got a positive note. Don't move, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

Guy Fieri was up there? I don't know. He sent some chicken. I don't know if he was actually up here. To where? Elvis Duran. Oh, okay. That would be racist if he sent it to us.

Yeah, so yeah. He got to send it to Elvis first, and we go over there to get it. Got you. Got you. Got you. Listen, the positive note is coming from Nikki Giovanni. Nikki Giovanni says, once you know who you are, you don't have to worry anymore. Breakfast club, bitches. Y'all finished or y'all done?

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.
