Oh, you thought you were going to Philly. Yes. Oh, you thought Penn State was in Philly. Yeah, something about Temple. Penn State is in the middle of nowhere. Oh, my goodness. Perfect place if you're a pedophile and you want to molest young boys. You know, that's why for so many years that that story went under the radar

because, you know, it's in the middle of nowhere. Nothing's out there. You thought you were going to University of Pennsylvania, maybe. I thought it was by Philly. I thought it was, I don't know what I thought. Not at all. But it's dumb for, I just got back here 15 minutes ago. Oh, maybe. I thought it was by Philly. I thought it was... I don't know what I thought. Not at all. But it's dumb far. I just got back here

15 minutes ago. Oh, okay. So when you said you were driving to Philly, you thought you were driving... Two hours to the party? No. Wow.

That's a long drive. For Penetration State University. Goodness gracious. I mean, everybody came out. It was a dope show. We appreciate all the students that came out, but jeez, that was a far drive.

I've been riding to Rick Ross all morning, too, by the way. Rather you than me. Drop one of Clues bombs for Rick Ross. I don't know who. There's not too many artists got a better ear for production than Ricky Rose, damn it. Yes, absolutely.

Yeah, we'll be talking about Rick Ross and his new album a lot. It seems like he's, I don't want to say back to lyrics, but he's spitting again and it sounds good. Rick Ross never stopped spitting. He did. No, he didn't. He say back to lyrics, but he's spitting again and it sounds good. Rick Ross never stopped spitting. He did. He absolutely did not. Absolutely he did. That is such a fallacy. Is that the right word, G? Yeah, that's the correct word. That is such a fallacy. He got really lightweight. Maybe you

have it. No, no, no. Yes, he did. We could put up his last album. Yes, we did. Maybe he wasn't listening to Ross. But no, Black Dollar mixtape, bars. The last two albums have been. No, not at all. Yeah, absolutely. Ross never stopped spitting.

No, he has. That's funny because I was just having that conversation last night with somebody, and I was like, Rick Ross is a rapping-ass dude. He's rapping on this album. He's never stopped rapping. I saw he was just performing at South by Southwest last night. I'm looking at Julia Beverly's Instagram. She has all these pictures and videos of him saying,

Free Lil Wayne. And Lil Wayne was also performing at South by Southwest yesterday, too. Well, the album is dope. We'll play some clips off the album this morning as well. And Birdman, is you going to pull up on Rick Ross? Huh? People don't know what you're talking about. The way you pulled up to the breakfast club?

We got to explain. Yes, they do. We'll let them know in a second, but they know. All right. Well, front page news, what are we talking about? We are going to talk about McDonald's going at Donald Trump, or were they? Also, we did tell you it is St. Patrick's Day. News, what are we talking about? We are going to talk about McDonald's going at Donald Trump, or were they? Also, we did tell you it is St. Patrick's Day.

And Catholics, we have some good news for you. Okay. We'll get into that when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angelie, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Now, the NCAA tournament started yesterday. Everybody's brackets is okay? Brackets effed up? Y'all do brackets? I didn't do any. Charlamagne? I don't do brackets. I just want UCLA to win because everybody be on LaVall Ball's

head like he can't want the best for his kids and brag about his kids like they're the greatest in the world. So I just want UCLA to win. Alright. Any big upsets? Anybody know? I have no idea. Too much going on this weekend. Iron Fist came out this weekend. Well, too much for me. Stuff that I like. Iron Fist came out this weekend. I ain't get a chance to watch. Triple G fight this weekend.

Okay. Well, today is St. Patrick's Day. Yes, it is St. Patrick's Day. I'm Irish. Like, it's just too much. It's too much. Well, Catholics are getting special permission to eat beef today. Any things that would normally, any type of meat that would normally be banned on Fridays during Lent, they are now allowed to get that

special permission to eat for St. Patrick's Day. And that is because usually from Ash Wednesday until Easter, you're not allowed to eat meat. You're supposed to abstain from meat each week as a symbol of remembrance of the day that Jesus was crucified. But now for the first time since 2006, St. Patrick's Day falls on a Friday. So church leaders are saying for today you can slide. But they are requesting that some people abstain from meat on Saturday if they indulge today in certain places. Well, I gave up beef for Lent, so I'm Irish, but I can't.

What does that mean? Am I Catholic? I'm not Catholic. Yeah, are you Catholic? No. You're not even Irish. Well, then it doesn't matter. But I gave up beef for Lent if that means anything.

I just wanted to share that because you were talking about beef. Okay. I haven't had beef in 24 years. Wow. Mm-hmm. You haven't had beef in 24 years. Really? You don't know what you're missing. Ain't nothing like a good piece of cow. I haven't had Remy in 24 years. Is that crazy? And I haven't had pork even longer than that.

You said Remy. Pork. I haven't had pork even longer than that. Now let's talk about McDonald's. McDonald's. Alright, so there was a crazy tweet that was sent out from McDonald's Twitter account. Real Donald Trump, you are actually a disgusting excuse of a president, and we would love to have Barack Obama back. Also, you have tiny hands.

Now, why would McDonald's tweet such a thing? Well, according to a spokesman for McDonald's, their account had been compromised. They deleted that tweet, secured their account, and now they are investigating what happened. Come on, don't get soft on us, McDonald's. It was funny while it happened. If there's one franchise that don't have to be politically correct, it's McDonald's. McDonald's been making billions and billions of dollars forever. Yes.

McDonald's might outlive all of us. McDonald's, Betty White, Morgan Freeman, gonna be here long after we gone. Now, Envy, I know you and I both fly on Delta a lot, and this was a terrible incident that happened. A traveler, Robin Rhodes, 57 years old, was returning from a trip to Aruba in January.

He just got indicted yesterday for unlawful imprisonment and aggravated harassment. He actually attacked a worker from Delta. He was in the Sky Club and he came up to the office of the employee and just started cursing. Are you effing sleeping? Are you praying? What are you doing? And it was a woman, by the way, that he approached. Wow. Then he started kicking the employee in the leg and then started yelling,

F Islam, F ISIS. Trump is here now. He will get rid of all of you. You can ask German, Belgium, and France about these kind of people. You will see what happens. That's disgusting. Yeah.

Crazy person just attacking somebody. They should have whooped his ass. Absolutely. As-salamu alaykum, kick his ass. All right. That's front page news. Now, tell them why you're mad. 800-585-1051.

And in about 30, 40 minutes, we are going to be playing. Ross has a new record. He's going at Birdman.

I have a boyfriend, and his child's mother feels like she deserves things, and you don't put in any work. In life, you need to put in work in order to get a product. So when you wake up and you decide you want a five-bedroom house like myself, you should probably get up and go to work. If you want to drive a Mercedes-Benz, then you go to work. Talk that talk.

If you're not doing any work, then don't expect any product. Don't be lazy. I'm up. It's 6 in the morning. Get up. If you're still sleeping, then stay asleep in life. Here we go. Opportunity comes to those who create it, but I'm going to tell you

I respect that. I respect that, that you like to look, you appreciate the little things. Go ahead, bro. Most definitely, most definitely. Let me tell you why. Okay, so you know the Nicki Minaj and the Remy Ma beat, correct? I have not let anything distract me from the fact that Remy Ma bodied Nicki

over the ETH Instrumental, sir. All right, my man. So I'm a Nicki fan, of course, and I heard it, and I heard the disc, and I was wondering why it wasn't Nicki, you know, it wasn't Carp and Beck. So, you know, I'm an artist myself, and I have a group called Carp and Beck,

and so what we did was we created this track and clapping back. So, you know, I'm an artist myself and I have a group called P.D., right? And so what we did was we created this track, a diss track. It was a Nicki Minaj clap back. And what we did was we put it on. Have a nice day, bro.

Hello, who's this? Hello. Hey, tell them why you're blessed. I'm blessed because, you know, I've been home five years now, and I hear brothers all the time talking about, yo, man, I can't get a job.

I can't get a job. I came home out of prison after 27 years, and I own my own company, own two houses, and own two cars, so I'm blessed. Well, listen to what you said. I'm blessed. I'm truly blessed. You said you own.

Like, you wasn't out here looking for a job. You went and created one for yourself. Yeah, I own my own company. I own my own company. I own two houses. My man. You know what I'm saying? People talk about, you know what I'm saying? You can't do this. You can't do this. And I did it. What kind of company do you own, sir? I own a painting company. I see one step at a time painting

in New Haven, Connecticut. Hey, respect to you, man. That's great. Opportunity comes to those who created, man. Nothing but salutes Connecticut. Hey, respect to you, man. Absolutely. Oh, that's great. Opportunity comes to those who create it, man. Nothing but salutes to you. Double salute to you. All right, bro. Hello, who's this? This is Lou. Hey, it's Lucio.

Aw, that's great. Congratulations. Oh, that's dope, man. You and your boyfriend adopted a son? No, me and my wife, dude. Oh, okay. My ass. I left him on the bed.

He was sleeping right on top of my pillow right next to me, and then I had to leave him right now and go to work, you know? All right. No doubt. How long was that process to adopt a child? Dude, actually, we went to an attorney. So that was pretty quick. I mean, we have 15 years of infertility.

And so with the attorney, it was actually pretty quick. Well, congratulations to you guys. That's awesome. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Blessings, brother. Blessings. Tell them why you're blessed.

800-585-1051. If you're blessed or you want to spread some positivity, you can call us each and every morning. Now, we got rumors, G? Yes, I mean, let's talk about Rick Ross and his new album that's out. Rose! There's one song in particular that everybody is talking about. I told you both Rick Ross and Lil Wayne are at South by Southwest right now performing.

And Lil Wayne is giving thanks to Rick Ross. We'll tell you why. Rose got some joints, man. Rose said, in a room full of failures, I feel out of place. Everybody going to be posting that on their Twitter and Facebook later today. He is definitely spitting on the records I heard this morning. All right, well, we'll get into rumors when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Well, where do we start with this Rick Ross album, Rather You Than Me, that has now been released? Everybody's talking about a couple of songs on here. Apple of My Eye featuring Raphael Sadiq. By the way, I love Raphael Sadiq. And in that song, he says,

In a room full of failures, I feel out of place. That's a ball. All right. Well, here's what he had to say about Meek and Nicki's relationship. I told Meek I wouldn't trust Nicki. Instead of beefing with your dog, you just give him some distance. We all make mistakes. Let's not be too specific.

But I could rather be a killer than be a statistic That's real though, because when a guy be all in love with a girl And you know that that girl probably going to do him dirty You let him know, and then before y'all have an issue with each other You just fall back, give him some distance He'll see in the long run And Meek Mill actually had tweeted out on Instagram He actually put up a picture and put

Rosé, Ben, tell me don't trust you And I guarantee you, now Meek Mill trusts Ross more because he understands Ross is giving him real advice. Absolutely. And it's coming from a real place and it actually comes true. Right. And then the song, Idols Become Rivals. Now, this had him and Lil Wayne going back and forth also

because Lil Wayne felt like Rick Ross really has his back. We'll give you some examples of what's in this song. I know, Envy, you're going to get the full entire song on in a minute. But here is some of what Rick Ross had to say about what's in this song. I know, Envy, you're going to get the full entire song on in a minute, but here is some of what Rick Ross had to say about Birdman on this song. Knew that you would never visit BG Turk came home

Take that boy a three-piece Shootin' dope, usin' coke, movin' like you the folks Sacrificin' half our life For your new musical You would give us self-esteem and motivate our drive. What was in our pocket by the time we count to five? I pray you find the kindness

in your heart for Wayne. His entire life, he gave you what there was to gain. I watched this whole debacle, so I'm part to blame. Last request, can all producers please get paid? I can't think of too many artists

who have a better ear for production than Rick Ross, but he picked the perfect backdrop for that record right there. That's that Jay-Z and Beanie Sigel, Daddy, Where Have You Been? Oh, my God. And you know they call Birdman Daddy. Wayne been calling him Daddy all these years.

Now, Rick Ross also put up a picture of Wayne on Instagram. He said, the level of respect and love that I have for Wayne makes it hard to sit back and not speak on the situation. The streets need you. Being a boss means having the courage to say the things everybody thinking, but scared to say, I can't wait for you to hear it. And he put, midnight, idols become rivals. And Lil Wayne responded, damn, big bro, that message hit me in the heart

and put the motivation on automatic start. I needed that one boss to another. I'm not going to lie. When I heard that record, man, all it did was, you know, it was confirmation for me, like I've been saying for years, why would any artist sign to Birdman when he has the history of not paying artists that he does? Especially his own son. Come on, your own son.

You got your man's face tattooed on your chest. You kissed him in the mouth. Well, here's what Rick Ross said when he was on The Breakfast Club about his relationship with Birdman. Relationship with Birdman. I don't have one with Birdman. You know what I'm saying? If you read the Source magazine, you will see that. And really me just seeing what Wayne going through as an artist,

him being a boss, you know, me idolizing Birdman at the time, me looking up to Lil Wayne, Wayne being the first artist to make so many feats, not just as an artist, but an artist coming from the South. That's something that I took personal. So for me to see the way things are transpiring, I can't respect that, and I don't respect. That is crazy to me. We're approaching the one-year anniversary of Birdman's Put Some Respect On My Name moment, too.

Okay, and the main reason Birdman was upset was because he said I was messing up his money by saying, why would you sign to Birdman when he has a history of not paying artists? Well, let's get into more of this. Idos become rivals because he also had some things to say about how Birdman treated DJ Khaled. What hurt me the most is how you did my brother Khaled. Khaled was loyal to you. The pain I seen in my brother's eyes. FaceTiming my n***a, he took that to the chin.

That's why my n***a blessed. That's why my n***a Khaled blessed. You put my n***a in a hole, homie. I don't feel you for that, my. That hurt me under there. It's painful what you see real do when they get the paper, when they get the bag. Damn. You can't never forget about Lil' Brundle.

Now we know who they is. All this time Khaled was talking about they, he was talking about Birdman, Baby, and Stunner. That's who they is. All this time Khaled was talking about they, he was talking about Birdman, Baby, and Stunner. That's who they is. Birdman, Baby, and Stunner is they. Now, is Birdman going to pull up on Rick Ross now? That's the magic question. No.

Did you pull up on Ross that way, or Trick Daddy? I'm pulling up on you. No, don't pull up on me, god damn it. Go pull up on the people who really want smoke. All right? Go pull up on the people who want smoke, dammit. He ain't going to do that in Miami, but I respect what Ross did. Ross is really standing up for hip-hop.

He's standing up for a lot of people. Like he said, saying things a lot of people won't say. Absolutely. You can't sit around and, you know, watch things go bad in the culture all these years and then nobody say nothing about it, and then you wonder why it keeps happening over and over and over again. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee

and that's your rumor report. If I could rap, I'd do the same thing. But I can't, so I just do radio. You just do radio and do it? That's it. Now, you was a rapper.

through Ween, and I'm always supportive of that. So, I want everybody to hear about Ween, because the auditions are coming up. And I know this because a lot of young women are hitting me up, asking me, can you please tell Valicia that I'm auditioning? Well, let's double down on this. Explain to people what Ween is. Okay. So, it's funny because my career in the industry started 21 years ago with Wu-Tang Clan.

You and me? Together? Yeah. Basically. Wow. You and Yeet together? Basically, yeah. Wow. You're 25. I wish. 39 years old. So 21 years ago, my career started.

And we had no blueprint when we started. No guidance. We just got in and figured it out. And so when I was able to, when I worked for Russell Simmons to create an organization and a movement to give girls a blueprint, that's really where we began. And that was 10 years ago. And so now we have 86,000 members, and we have an academy each summer. Ye is a

professor, and this Saturday we have our auditions in New York City. So we're expecting 1,000 girls, and we'll only choose 30. The auditions, what takes place? What do they have to do? Think like American Idol meets The Apprentice. Okay. So you go in with your best 30-second pitch on why you should be in the industry, and we weed you out the first round. The second. So you go in with your best 30-second pitch on why you should be in the industry.

We weed you out the first round. The second round, you go through like a firing squad of questions from, you know, executives like Mona Scott, Stephen Hill, the list goes on, Kevin Lyles, and they ask questions, and we weed you out. And then the final presentation, you really sell your, you know, assets, what you can bring to the industry, why you should make the cut, and we select 30 girls.

You're a female, you're young, you attend this academy. Now, what are the benefits of it? I mean, the old school way was you stalked people. Like, you stood outside labels, you know, the stations to get in. And now through this program, you have a door in. You have a foot in. And so now that you're in the industry, once you come out, you kind of have a stamp of credibility.

And so you know that if you graduated from this program, you could get in the door and stay. So all of our young girls graduates work for VH1 and so many of the networks, and they're just killing it right now. Are there classes weekly? Every day for six weeks. Wow.

Now, is WEAN solely entertainment? And by the way, WEAN stands for Women in Entertainment Empowerment Network. Because a lot of people would be like, oh, why do we need more people in the entertainment industry? Why not push them towards law, being a doctor? We're expanding it now.

So entertainment is the focus, but we're expanding it to tech. I work for Google now. And so we're seeing so many people like Lira Cohen and others pivot to tech because, of course, the two industries relate.

And so tech is a big part of our focus as we expand the program. But definitely we want girls to, you know, think broad in, you know, the careers that they aspire to be. And legal can be involved in entertainment as well. So is tech. All of those things encompass that too.

But you still got to be a lawyer first, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Right. But I mean, this is a specialized, you know, it was specialized for people that are particularly interested. Just like they have bees left for people that are interested in law. This is for people who are interested in entertainment. Our girls are 18 to 26.

26 is the cutoff. Most are college students, but you don't have to be. Now, I saw that you were the head of black community engagement for Google. Yes. That sounds like a big title. What does that mean? Oh, man. I'm the first in the role, not just at Google, but in the tech industry. And, you know, there's no secret

that the tech industry has a real challenge and problem with diversity. And so they brought me in to really deepen our engagement in the black community, just to be honest. You know, our numbers, you know, aren't the best. And so, you know, a big part of my job is to get more people that look like us in the building for jobs.

But once we get in those roles, making sure that we can thrive and grow within those companies. And so Google brought me in as kind of the expert, you know, who can go in with black colleges, speak to black community leaders and really bridge that gap. And even younger than that, you've been doing some initiatives with kids that are even before college. Yes. To consider tech as an option, because a lot of times these young students of color aren't being pushed into that field. Yeah, it's crazy. Like you would never expect a company like Google to take a stand the way that we have, but we gave $11.5 million in racial justice grants two weeks ago to fight police brutality and criminal justice reform, right?

Programs like Black Girls Code. We have programs right now in the New York office in Chelsea with black girls in the office right now as we speak coding and learning how to become technologists. And so, you know, we're really going deep in our commitment and it's nice to work for a big company like that that's willing to, you know, really, you know, put their money where their mouth is. Now, you spoke about diversity. Does Wien accept transgenders?

Yes. Okay. Absolutely. We accept men, straight men. Really? Yes. Oh. I mean, I wouldn't have thought that because, you know, women. Yeah, yeah. Men who support women. Okay. Word. Yes. Allies. I mean, I wouldn't have thought that because it's women. Yeah, yeah. Men who support women. Okay. Yes, as allies, absolutely. Wow.

Okay. Why stop at 26? Because there's a lot of older people that haven't figured out their life yet. Yeah, 27 ain't the oldest. I agree. 30 is not the oldest. But think about it. So if you graduate from the program and we call you, Envy, and we're like, okay, we need, you know, do you need interns at Power?

The chances are, you know, less likely that, you know, you would bring in an intern over 26 years old. That's true. That is true. You know what I mean? It's like, ah! I'm not going to lie. Sometimes they walk through the door. I'm like, how old is he?

How old is he? How old is he? Like 35. Okay. Now, prior to being at Google, you also worked with President Barack Obama, our former president. Yes. Barack Obama. I miss our president.

Yeah, I did. I was President Obama's National Youth Vote Director, and I worked in the Obama administration. My good friend Angela Rye is up here all the time. Angela Rye, General Rye. I tell Angela, I was like, you remind me of Alicia in some ways. We hear it every day. People think we're sisters in D.C. But, you know, I can honestly say President Obama and the First Lady were just like, man, it never got old to me.

Even though I worked for them, they knew me on a first name basis. To this day, when I see them, especially Michelle, like I just freeze up because I'm just so inspired. Like what you see on TV is exactly what you get with them. They treated everybody that worked for them with respect. The first question was never, like, what do you do? Or what did you do yesterday? It was about your family and, you know, how's your life? And so, you know, they were just good people.

Alright, we got more with Felicia Butterfield-Jones. When we come back, keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. He said that like he's got a regular president in there chilling. The reason I say that is you were so close to the older president and people are trying to decide if you can meet with the president. I end up with Barack in my life and I don't rock with Trump at all. Let me tell you, I was in the White House the day that Trump came in for his first meeting with the president. I was literally in the White House and you could feel the energy change. And he was in, you know, on the premises. And I literally went from, you know, seeing President Obama going to

that room with Trump. I wasn't in the meeting. And then go from that meeting into a room with me and a few other people. And the way he just had this level of class, President Obama, to go from that tense meeting into an environment with us and just like keep a cool head, just show me like what a level headed president he was and what we don't have now. Right. I mean, you just don't know what you're going to get. And so for me, it's like every day I'm just in shock and disbelief. And actually, I'm angry that we allow this to happen. It's on us, though. Right. You know, although we as black women came out at 94% at the polls, it's still on us. And so I think, you know, we just have a responsibility next year on the local level to make sure that we're, you know, grooming people, supporting our local candidates and getting those folks in those congressional and Senate seats that can give the resistance that we're going to need in Washington so Trump can feel that heat. Why does it feel like, to me, that women are on the front line of the resistance right now?

Like, it seems like ever since Trump came into the White House, like, women have been leading the charge. Listen, I mean... It feels like a lot of our rights are about to be taken away from us, too. I mean, yes, but don't sleep on what the resistance movement is doing. Like, you think about the Women's March and Tamika Mallory and so many people. Yee and I were there for the march in D.C. side by side, and to see

the power that we have, not only in the voting booth, but, you know, our trillion dollars in annual spending power as women, I mean, the numbers go on, so the more we're able to harness that energy and that power, I think the more we'll have more influence. But yeah, I think, you know,

I mean, if you look at history, women, that's what we do. Right. Like, we stand up. We're the backbone, you know, and sometimes we get the credit and sometimes we don't, and we got to be okay with that because it's not about credit. It's about just doing the work.

What are entertainment responsibilities right now? You know, it's so funny because I'm in this interesting space of, like, having worked in the industry for so long. Like, I feel like if it's in your heart to do it, do that. But if it's not, just get out of the way. Like, I don't think it's fair when you pressure artists to, like, take a stand, speak out. You know, you're a role model.

No, you know what I mean? But if it's in your heart to make that change, by all means, like, look at what Chance did in Chicago. I believe it was sincere. It wasn't a PR stunt. It's a million dollars. It definitely is did in Chicago. I believe it was sincere. It wasn't a PR stunt. It's a million dollars. It definitely is sincere.

Right. You don't just say... It's a new artist. Right. So let's lift that brother up. But if we could provide platforms and opportunities for them to plug in in a turnkey way, if you want to give money, you could do that. If you want to march and get on the front lines,

you could do that. At the Women's March, if you release your keys and you want to give 10 minutes out of your schedule to lift our voices, you could do that. Janelle Monáe. Janelle Monáe came out and didn't charge a dime.

People were calling and asking, can I be involved? Literally. Madonna's standing next to us like, what I got to do? I guess it's weird because back in the day,

they used to get involved through their music. You know what I mean? Nowadays, a lot of guys don't do that too much. Say her name. Especially in rap.

Rap used to be the, come on, Public Enemy had Fight to Power. Kendrick does that, though. Kendrick does that. J. Cole does that. To a certain extent. Right. Certain artists do if they feel it in their heart, like Felicia said. Yeah, you got to be authentic.

If not, people see through it. And so, for me, I'd rather you do it from an authentic place. If not, we're going to call BS anyway. So, you know. Now, let's talk about something fun. You got a ring. Yes. Crazy.

So, Belisha's married to Dante Jones. Yes. And he was playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. You guys got a ring now. Let me tell you, it is. I was confused. I didn't know. I thought you got married.

She is married. We've been married for five years. We've been married for five years. But it's crazy because Dante's played for a lot of teams. We moved around a lot, and he's been in the league now for 13 years, and he was done, like, in the D-League, grinding it out, like living in a two-bedroom apartment with four dudes, literally, in the D-League. Like, I guess I'm done.

And he got called up for the last game of the season for the Cavs. So that makes him eligible to? He got to win. I mean, listen. I love it. 13 years in. That's a win. Hey, if you're the 15th guy, the first guy, it's a team, right?

Win is a win. I remember we played for Miami. Oh, God. Indiana, Boston. I win. I remember who you played for, Miami. Oh, God, Indiana, Boston. I don't even remember Indiana. Clippers. Clippers, I remember the Clippers. So, you know, it was crazy because for me, like, you know, it was a big moment and it was like LeBron and Tristan Thompson,

all of them like celebrating together and it was crazy. But for me, it was like the story behind it. Like, I literally saw him in three months go from the D-League like on his way out to a championship ring. So now I feel like whenever he's ready to go out he can do it with his head up and with dignity.

Oh, he has a retired job? He's a free agent. Oh, he's retired. He doesn't know what you're... Did he score? He did. He had a big game're up to. Did he score? He did. He had a big game in game five. What's big? Like, game changing.

Like, turn the whole game around. You can look it up. Like... Dr. Jones? Yes. I swear. Not just because that's my husband. I was watching all those games.

I don't remember that one, Felicia. He can tell you. I'm a harsh critic. Yes, he is. Hey, Google that real quick. I don't remember that one, brother. He got a ring. That's all that matters. He's from Jersey, too. Shout out to him. Now, Felicia. Hey, Google that real quick. I don't remember that one, brother. He got a ring. That's all that matters.

He's from Jersey, too. Shout out to him. Now, Belisha, I'm going to be honest. You seem like the type of person that would have dismissed a ballplayer 15 years ago. Like a ballplayer would have came up to you. A ballplayer, a rapper, you'd have been like, nah, I'm not interested. No, that's actually not true. Really?

No. My guess is on you now. Okay. Okay, you're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right.

You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right. You're right.

Let's put it this way. Dante and I got married when I was 33 years old, so I had a life. Oh, so you already had lived. I had lived. And he had lived. And so, yeah, no, I wouldn't have turned down a ball player before. But through those experiences, I became very selective. Got you.

Got you. Got you. You know what I mean? Like, I had to learn the hard way. We have more with Felicia Butterfield-Jones when we come back. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Valicia Butterfield-Jones in the building. Just to give people the rundown about Ween one more time, let's talk about some people who have been honored at Ween. Oh, man. I mean, not just me, but, like, other people, too.

Well, I mean, first. Not just me. I didn't even mention you. Other people, too. Not just me. Not just me. Like didn't even mention you. Not just me. Not just me. Okay, we're going to start at home. We honor Angela Yee and Angie Martinez, who I love dearly.

We've honored. I introduced Carrie Champion. Yes, you introduced Carrie Champion and did a great job. But Lil' Kim, we've honored. Faith Evans, Nia Long, Viv K. Fox. Regina Hall was a great speech. Regina Hall was a big speech. Regina Hall was a big speech. I didn't actually know how amazing she was.

She was incredible. She shut it down. I was looking for that speech, by the way. I don't know why y'all don't record. They do. We do. I don't see it. Where's it at? I'll send you the link. Okay. But yeah, it's on YouTube, too. Everybody can check it out. But yeah, we've honored a lot of amazing women. This is our 10th year. And so the Wiener Wars this year

is going to be big. We have a lot of big names and people that we're recognizing. But it's all about, for me, I always think about big women who would never probably walk a Grammy or Oscar stage. Right. Like giving them that look, giving them that recognition because they're putting in the work every

day and mainstream hasn't always recognized it. What are some challenges women still face in the entertainment industry? Oh, God. I mean, pay equity. We could start there. Like, you know, equal work for equal pay is what we deserve, but we don't always get it.

I think the prettier you are, actually, sometimes it can be harder. I keep hearing that. Yo, it's real. It's real. Why is that? Because the execs are ugly, so they just feel threatened? No, I wouldn't say that, but I think, you know, it's such a visual business anyway. And then, you know, I mean, everyone wants to know your intentions and your motives.

Like, why are you really here? Well, people always assume that if you got a certain job, it had to be because you slept with somebody. I hear it every day. People think, oh, yeah, she definitely. Even when I started at Sirius and I got that job out of nowhere just because I was doing marketing, and then I worked for Eminem, and Paul Rosenberg said, hey, just, you know, why don't you try to do audition for the on-air spot? And when I got there, I never did radio.

And when I got there, and they were like, oh, yeah, you know she definitely asked somebody to get this job, just because I had never did it, but that wasn't true. Men get that, too, though, depending on how powerful the woman is. Yeah, yeah. Like, I definitely asked Dr. Oz if he slept with her. I mean, you're the only person that said no, of course. But I mean, I can't tell you how many women who I look up to and respect.

You know, you hear rumblings like, oh, she just got a dad or because she dealt with, you know, whoever. And, you know, I think that, you know, you have to, you know, just always prove yourself. Right. But it just comes with the territories almost to a point like you already know you've got whoever. And, you know, I think that, you know, you have to, you know, just always prove yourself. Right. But it just comes with the territory. It's almost to a point, like, you already know. You got to work harder, smarter, faster. Sometimes I think women don't try to help each other out as much as they should,

which is why something like Ween has always been really important. Like, I look at Yee, and, you know, for me at this point, like, I don't feel like, and I say this humbly, like, we don't have anything left to prove. Like, now it's about longevity, right? Like, when you've been in the game, you've been consistent, and I say this humbly, like we don't have anything left to prove. Like now it's about longevity, right? Like when you've been in the game, you've been consistent, you've put in the work,

like, you know, now the chatter doesn't matter when you know you've put in the work. So now it's like, okay, like the work cannot be questioned. So now let's just get to the money. You know what I mean? And the purpose. And so for me, you know, I look at Yee and I mean, who would have thought? Anyone would even care what we had to say 20 years later. Now, where were you when Angela Yee was in that Wu-Tang video?

Were you at the same set? No, I was in Atlanta. I was in Atlanta. I was Atlanta based in college. I got paid for that, by the way. I know. Exactly. What you said just now is real, too.

I think that comes with growth as well. Because the more you grow, the more you evolve. You start caring about your character as opposed to people's reputations of you. And I think it's also important because we have proven ourselves to so many people that know us personally. So when you know that you're working hard, doing what you're supposed to do, and so many people can vouch for you, it doesn't matter what people who don't know you are like, oh, she's waxed, she's this. It doesn't matter. I tell young girls this all the time.

If you on IG have 30 comments of all your friends telling you like you're dope, you're popping and you have like two haters. Why are you focused on two? You know what I mean? It's hard. I don't know. It's so hard. It is hard.

You gotta have Teflon skin like two. I'm with you. Like my father said, my father used to always say, you're never as good as they say you are, you're never as bad as they say you are. So I just keep that mentality. But every now and then, you start. Charlotte may be so sensitive.

I'm not sensitive. But he be responding to the haters all the time. Yeah, I just block people all the time, that's all. Like, I'm not sensitive. You're gonna invite somebody to a good time, and they might say, okay, I'll meet you. I don't mind telling somebody to suck my dick. They're like, who you talking to? You know what I mean? I don't have a problem with that. Well, Felicia and I don't do that. We just going to invite somebody to a good time. They might say, okay, I'll meet you. I don't mind telling somebody to suck my dick. They're like, who are you talking to?

You know what I mean? I don't have a problem with that. Well, Felicia and I don't do that. We just block. Don't block, Max. Yeah, yeah. But I've tried that. I might need to try it.

Well, the ween auditions, can anybody audition? How does that work? Not you, Envy. Hey. Not me. I'm past the age. If you are 18 to 26 years old. I'm 27.

I just miss it. You do not have to live in New York City. You can be from anywhere in the country, but you have to be in New York City this Saturday in Harlem. All the info is on our website. And you come. It's free, but you've got to be prepared. Where's that in Harlem?

At the Elaine Locke School, 9 a.m. Online. Where can people go online just to get other? Weenonline.org. That's W-E-E-N online.org. And, I mean, always we have big names in the room, and we never really share it because we want girls to be surprised

and to see how they react. Girls and guys and transgenders. I mean, it's really for young ladies. But if you are comfortable in your skin in a women's program. Anything can happen. I'm too old to go. Anything can happen.

Just tuck properly. Oh, God. You know what I want to ask you? Does it ever offend you when, like, Google says you're the head of black community? No, I embrace it, actually. You know, I do not back down from the term black. Absolutely. Like, I absolutely own it, and I think it's an honor to be frank.

Like, there's so much work to be done. That's why I named my book Black Privilege. Yeah, exactly. Like, there's so much work to be done. That's why I named my book Black Privilege. Yeah, exactly. Like, call it what it is. And so I see it as just like an opportunity to really make a difference. And I'm not going to stop. So, yeah, I embrace it fully. True.

Well, thank you for joining us. Thank you. If anybody interested in any programs at Google, okay, where can they go? Because Felicia's been doing a lot of stuff there. The first time I went up to the office was because you had this whole networking. You can hit me up online, on Instagram, LinkedIn, Google me, the info's there.

And my door is always open. And I mean that. So, you know, if you're interested, hit me up. Alright, Miss Felicia Butterfield Jones, it's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. It's just in.

All the gossip. Gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip. Gossip. With Angela Yee. It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club.

Well, if you followed Eddie Murphy on Twitter, you would have seen this tweet that said, Coming to America sequel. I didn't know Eddie had a Twitter. Well, he does, but he doesn't tweet from it himself. It's not really him tweeting from there. But now that Twitter account is gone. It has since been deleted ever since that tweet

was put out. Now, they're saying that there really is a Coming to America 2 in the works, but it wasn't supposed to be announced that way. It wasn't supposed to be announced yet, and Eddie Murphy is in the early stages writing for this project. So who posted it? Whoever is part

of his social media team that he has that does all his postings for him. By the way, Uncle Sharla is here for a Coming to America sequel. Drop one of Clues Bombs

for that, damn it. I've been saying they should do a Coming to America. What do you mean, how would they do it? How? How is life in Zamunda

for Lisa McDowell and Prince Hakeem? What are you talking about? Prince Hakeem the king now, okay? Because James Earl Jones is probably dead. He's died. He is still alive in real life, so you can still have him. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Maybe he's about to be king. Yeah, Prince Hakeem about to be king. They in Zamunda. What's life like in Zamunda? They got to relate it back to the U.S. as well. They got to go back and forth. For what?

We saw what happened in Queens. Listen, they gave Queens, they asked to kiss, they opened up a McDowell's in Zamunda. They got elephant burgers and kangaroo burgers and all kinds of stuff. Or maybe they have a son

who's looking for a bride. Or maybe they have a son that's not looking for a bride. There you go. But I don't want to see him come back to America. Or a daughter looking for a husband. Oh, you could spin it

because maybe you could have him come back to America and find him a nice white conservative. You always go too far. They don't accept him in Zamunda. Oh, Trump don't let him back. Trump don't let him get in. Trump won't let him come in from Zamunda or something.

Now, in other TV news and movie news, VH1 has, we told you they announced that T.I. and Tiny's not coming back, but is Escape now going to be doing a TV show now Latasha from Escape actually posted a picture with Mona Scott Young

and she said big things coming alright y'all going too far now what you're not here for an Escape you might can add Escape to Love and Hip Hop Atlanta

I don't need a whole Escape reality show and SWV already had their reality show back in 2013 and now it seems like they're going to be doing a biopic. Check out what they

said. We're actually in talks of SWV biopics. So yeah, stay tuned. Everyone's interested. There's so much that people don't know. So yeah. It's going to be nice. Now, wasn't Charlamagne on the SWV reality show? He was on that reality show for an episode.

No, I wasn't. Yes, you were. You went on a date with Lili. That's not true. Well, I could pull it up. That's not even, that's not remotely true. So we Google that. It's not going to come up. I was there giving her, I was giving her dating advice.

I was giving her advice. Oh, okay. I remember. She had just got her butt done. Yes. Yeah, I remember. And then we just said you were on the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I wasn't on the show. What were you denying just now? Not in the capacity that you said. No, he said you were on one episode. Yeah, I was yeah, yeah. I wasn't on the show. What were you denying just now? Not in the capacity that you said. No, he said you were on one episode. Yeah, I was giving her advice. That's all he said.

What were you denying? You knew you left up, right? What was he denying? I was giving her advice on her love life. Okay, that's fine, but don't deny being on the show.

He said Charlamagne was on an episode. No, I wasn't. All right. I never said I wasn't on an episode. I said I wasn't on I never said I wasn't on an episode. I said I wasn't on an episode in quotation marks. Thank you.

I don't know what just happened. By the way. All right. All right. Now let's discuss Maite Garcia. That is Prince's ex-wife. She has a memoir coming out, The Most Beautiful My Life with Prince. And she talks about her decade-long relationship with Prince in this memoir.

They released an excerpt from it in People magazine. Now she talks about she was just 16 years old and living in Germany, and her mother had submitted a video of her belly dancing to Prince, and she managed to meet Prince backstage at a show. They hit it off, and she started dancing professionally. She actually went and moved in with Prince at his Paisley Park compound when she was 17 years old and he became her legal guardian.

What kind of dance was she doing? With the approval of her parents. That's a hell of a belly roll. Prince move you in. So she became the focus of his Diamonds and Pearls tour. Now, just to be clear, he was her legal guardian, but they did not sleep together until she was 19. Okay. She said at the age of 19,

they started to have sex, and he told her to get on birth control. She actually has it all in her diary, because she wrote all of this down when it happened. Prince Red started it. Yeah, he didn't have sex with her until she was 19. Yeah, he sounds good. Okay.

She says this man, wearing eyeliner heels and ladies perfume, somehow managed to be more masculine than the burly bodyguard. She said that when she was there, the first time she spent the night there where she danced for him, she said they slept in separate bedrooms and in the morning he made pancakes. I guess Prince was really known for making pancakes. I want to close the bars for Prince, damn it.

But she also said that he was very stern about what she would wear. Like if she showed up to rehearsal in sweatpants, he would make her change. And he watched over her weight. So he said one time she was eating some whipped cream and he docked her pay. I'm Prince. I'm out here dressed to death. I got on high heels and capes and leggings. And you come in here with sweatpants on?

How dare you? Now, you may know Maite from Hollywood Exes. And she also talks about being 22 years old when they got married. He was 37 at the time. They got married on Valentine's Day. And they had a son. She gave birth to their son eight months after they got married. And unfortunately, the son was born a month premature. There were all kinds of issues. And, you know, he was a Seventh-day Adventist and then a Jehovah's Witness. So there was a lot of things that he wouldn't allow to happen, like no amniocentesis or anything. He just would pray

when things were going wrong and wouldn't allow her to do certain things. But then the baby actually ended up having issues. Pfeiffer's syndrome type 2, which is genetic disorder. So unfortunately the baby did pass away and she feels like their relationship never recovered from that. And that was kind of the end of things. Oh, this is actually coming from the girl?

Yeah, Maite wrote her memoirs. So those memoirs will be out. But you know, he wrote that song, The Most Beautiful Girl in the World was about her. It's a beautiful song. Okay. All right, well, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Report. It's a hundred round two.

It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkeys of the Day, ask Charlamagne. I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day is a little bit of a mixed play. So like a donkey. Keyhawk. Donkey of the day is a little bit of a mixed place. So like a donkey. Keyhole. Donkey of the day. The practice club, bitches.

Now, I've been called a lot in my 23 years, but donkey of the day is a new one. Yes, donkey of the day for Friday, March 17th has me a little conflicted. Let me start off by saying what these three teenagers did is absolutely positively wrong, but I understand. We've all been there. We've all felt like we wanted to do what these kids did. But those of us with common sense aren't stupid enough to do it. Now, three teenagers, DeJuan Bowers, 18, Tynerick Turner, 17,

and a 16-year-old whose name isn't available because I guess he's too young, were charged with 12 counts of aggravated assault, unlawful handgun possession, and vehicle theft after they decided to unload the clip at the D.B. Todd Market in Nashville, Tennessee, this past Tuesday. Now, what got these young bucks debunking? Well, during police interrogations, one of the suspects allegedly told police that the reason they shot up this market,

they shot up this market because the clerk had given them the pizza they ordered with incorrect toppings. Hey, hey, man, hey. What does your Uncle Charlo always tell you kids? Nigs going nig. All right. That's just the way the world works. All right. Nigs don't even work. But nigs don't take day offs. Daysigs going nig. Alright, that's just the way the world works. Nigs don't even work, but nigs

don't take days off. The young boys shot up the market because the clerk gave them the incorrect toppings on their pizza. Listen, these youngins were dead wrong. Like not even close to being correct. Very poor choice these three teenagers made. And kids, life is

simply all about choices. Destiny is not a matter of chance, it's a matter of choice. They made a terrible decision, which is exactly why their life is in shambles right now, because of this poor choice. But I'm going to tell you something. Even though they are dead wrong, I feel them. Okay? Nothing pisses you off more when

people get your order wrong at a restaurant. It doesn't matter what the restaurant is. Fast food, five-star, but especially when it's fast food, okay? I don't have a lot of money as it is. Fast food is comfort food when you're pouring from the hood, okay? My father used to have this big jug of coins in his room. It was the water cooler jug, okay, the big joint.

And my father used to keep coins in it. I would pour that jug over, you know, when nobody was home, just to scrap up $10 in coins to buy a pizza from Domino's. So happy when you saw quarters, too. Man, talk about it, Angela Yee, okay? Last thing I needed after going through all that was them delivering the pizza with the wrong toppings to the house, okay? These young boys probably felt the same way.

They scraped some money together to order a pizza, and you give me the wrong toppings? Why I get the wrong toppings? Because I'm black. I just saw this white man next to me order a pizza with anchovies, pineapple, and reg... How you pronounce it? Regatta. Regatta cheese. Okay.

Regatta cheese. Alright. You didn't get his order wrong, but when I asked for buffalo chicken and ranch dressing on the pizza, you can't get that right? Yes, I wanted the ranch dressing on the pizza, not on the side. Put it on the pizza. And why this chicken, not buffalo? I asked for buffalo chicken.

This chicken, not buffalo. Where the buffalo at? You know what? This is exactly what homie meant when he was at the drive-thru and said, you're going to have to see me. So when I get there, you better have the same energy, damn it. Yo, for one, you have to see me when you come to the window, so you better have the same energy. Because I'm coming with the pistol if my order not correct, okay? Now, in no way am I condoning what these kids did, okay?

I'm not condoning what these kids did. They were wrong, and they're going to prison, and they deserve it. All I'm saying is we've all been there in our minds. We felt slighted and disrespected because somebody got our order wrong. And then when I asked them to correct it, they act like it's my fault or they might get smart with you and, you know, tell you that this ain't Burger King and you can't have it your way, okay? These brothers is wrong, kids.

They're absolutely wrong. I have to keep telling brothers is wrong, kids. They're absolutely wrong. I have to keep telling you this over and over that they are absolutely wrong. What they did was stupid, but you have to understand when you just drink a pint of Henny, you just smoke your last little bit of weed, and the only reason you had a blunt was because you had to unroll a bunch of roaches

to make one blunt, okay? You got the munchies crazy, and they messing up your pizza order. Ain't no extra cheese on this thing. I see some cheese, but it's not extra cheese. Wow. You're always trying to play us out here, okay? I bet next time you get my order right, though.

But these kids are wrong, okay? Yes, be clear, please. DeJuan Bowers is being held. They're definitely wrong. Yes, DeJuan Bowers is being held on a $50,000 bond. Tynerick and the 16-year-old are being held in juvenile court. I don't feel no remorse for any of them. Kids, you have to learn patience.

You have to have better problem-solving skills. You need to make better choices in life because you don't want to grow up after you've been locked up for a decade and wake up thinking, damn, I threw my life away for some extra cheese, ranch dressing, and some buffalo chicken. Please give Tynerick, DeJuan, and this young 16-year-old the biggest hee-haw, please.

So they never got their pizza? You know, that's a good question. This is incomplete. Yeah, I don't think... I mean, they got the pizza, but it probably was still the wrong order. You know what I'm saying? Because after you shoot the place up, it's like you sit around and wait for them to add Durant's dressing to the pizza. Yeah, I guess you're right.

All right. But nigs going nigs. Sometimes I understand why nigs nig, but it don't make the nigging any less stupid. All right. Well, thank you. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey today. When we come back, we have Nina Turner joining us.

Explain to the people who Nina Turner is, guys. Nina Turner is a former senator of Ohio. She has a Nina Turner show right now. Yeah, she has the Nina Turner TV show. A couple of books coming out. She's got a few books coming out. This is her, how long, how many times? She's also a professor.

This is her second time here. It's her second time. Second time here. Oh, you're second? Yep, second time. I love talking to Nina, though. So we'll kick it with her when we come back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Second time. Oh, your second? Yep, second time. Oh, I love talking to Nina, though. So we'll kick it with her when we come back. Don't move.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. One of my absolute favorite people to hear from,

and I'm glad that she finally has time to come back to The Breakfast Club. Miss Nina Turner, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Welcome back. So glad to be here. A lot has happened. Yeah, a lot has happened since the last time you were here. Yes.

Last time you were here, you were endorsing Bernie Sanders. Yes, I still endorse him. Still endorsing him. Since then, you got three new books, a TV show. Yeah, I'm working on them. Yeah. I'm trying to keep up with you. You just want all the money, huh?

All of it. Not all of it. Now, question to keep up with you. All the money, huh? All of it. Not all of it. Now, question. Bernie Sanders. Yes. Now, what do you feel would be the differences right now if Bernie Sanders would have beat Hillary? Do you think he would have beat Donald Trump? Oh, absolutely.

Explain why. No doubt about it. I mean, the energy and synergy was on his side, even though the polls were not exactly clear in terms of telling us exactly who people were going to vote for, because I believe people were ashamed to say that they actually were going to vote for Mr. Trump. So they were skewed in that way. They feel ashamed to say they voted for him. Right. Some folks were proud. They put it out there.

And some people regret it. However, the polling did show that Senator Sanders was the best candidate against every single Republican potential nominee. And the energy is still right there with him. So absolutely, we wouldn't be going through the mess. I'm going to keep it PG that we're going through right now. And this is a very upsetting time. But then it gets stolen from Bernie, kind of, didn't it? Well, the Democrats cheated in the primary.

Absolutely. They put their body, their thumbs, and everything else on the scale. And that was unfair. And that's why so many Berniecrats were upset and are still upset. And I'm hoping that the new direction of the DNC, which I'm not so sure, will correct that. But I'm holding out hope because I don't appreciate what they did to Congressman Keith Ellison. They really smeared him, you know, calling him an anti-Semite, you know, really being anti-Muslim and really putting that out there. And it wasn't Republicans that did that. Democrats internally did that to defeat his bid for chairman of the DNC.

So I don't think they've still learned the lesson. It's funny how energy works, though, because they said they cheated Bernie, but then when the election happened, they said the Russians cheated. Could have hacked the election, possibly. You know, Charlamagne, I teach college, and on the first day of my semester this year, I told my students, don't blame it on the Russians when they ain't got their homework.

I mean, at some point, you got to take responsibility. Now, yes, as a nation, we have to deal with cyber warfare. We got to deal with that. And if Russia did inject themselves, which the intelligence community says that they did, then we got to deal with that. But I have yet to hear anybody from the intelligence community say that the Russians voted. That's true.

Democrats lost the electoral college. We don't win elections by popular vote in this country. If we're going to change it, it will take a constitutional amendment. So Democrats just flat out lost. So they need to stop blaming the Russians. Let's get down to the real business of taking care of the people every freaking day. Russia, Russia, Russia. Meanwhile, Flint still got faulty pipes,

don't have clean water. I met a man when I spoke in Detroit a couple of weeks ago, and he said, you know, the biggest deal for him staying at a hotel in Detroit was being able to take a damn shower and brush his teeth. Wow, that's crazy. I'm sorry, Lord, bleep me. God know your heart.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. God know my heart. Sometimes you got to speak in tongues when you're a Christian. Now, I want to get your opinion on something we've been talking about, and that's the whole Snoop Dogg versus Donald Trump controversy. Yeah. Where Snoop Dogg in his video, Lavender, has a confetti gun, and he's pointing it at a clown version of Donald Trump.

Is this something that is illegal? Well, look, Snoop is being Snoop, okay? They need to understand this. I mean, Snoop, theop is being Snoop, okay? They need to understand this. I mean, Snoop, the line is really Snoop Doggy Dog. That being said, you know, it's an art form, and he was telling a story. Now, on the other side of that, though, there are lots of young people who watch that.

We know that we do have a proliferation of guns in these United States of America and in the African-American community, and I think artists should be cognizant of that. But at the same time, it was fake. It did have the words bang coming out of it. It wasn't literally shot, but it does portray a bad image, I think.

What about what Bow Wow said? What did Bow Wow say? Don't nobody know nothing about no Bow Wow. Why y'all keep bringing up Bow Wow? Tell me what Bow Wow said. Bow Wow said he's going to kidnap Melania Trump and pimp her out, basically. Oh, hell no, no. Tell me what Bow Wow said. Bow Wow said he's going to kidnap Melania Trump and pimp her out, basically. Oh, hell no. No.

No. We can't have that. See, it ain't right. You know, because, I mean, as much as I love, you know, hip hop and I'm old school, I'm generation X hip hop, so, you know, LL Cool J, you know, Tupac. Tupac. Tupac. Tupac, baby.

Tupac broke it down. I would quote Tupac on the floor of the Senate. Absolutely. Along with Thomas Jefferson. So I get it. But come on now, we got to be cognizant of some of the stuff that we say. Can he be arrested for that? That's not right.

Well, we got freedom of speech in this country. But with that comes a responsibility, though. Yeah, because Ted Cruz, Mark Rubio, and Donald Trump himself have already said they feel like this is a threat. And it is a threat to threaten the president. Yeah, you can't threaten folks. He just shouldn't say that. He should just come out and apologize and be done with it. It's not acceptable. All right, we got more with Nina Turner. When we come back,

don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Now we have ex- senator from Ohio and a professor and our friend, Miss Nina Turner, in the building. Yee? Did you do the participate in the day without a woman? You know

what? I did not participate in that, but, you know, big ups to them. But you had to teach at work. Yeah, I used to got to teach. Well, no, but they did say even if you did go to work, you know, you can still show your support by wearing red or shopping at businesses that were owned by women. A beautiful thing, but again, see

my lane is the how do we win elections lane. I mean, that's a beautiful thing, a day without women, but then the next day we're going to go back and shop and work and do everything else that we have to do. Symbolically, that is good, but we got to get down. You know, politics and hip-hop really go together. It's really about is it about the substance or is it about the hype? Is it about the beat or is it about the lyrics? Is it about the beat or is it about the lyrics?

I'm about the lyrics. But I do. You love Remy Ma's record. So Remy broke it down. Okay? She cold. She's saying don't get caught up in the beats. It is about the lyrics.

It ain't always about the A side that make it to the radio. It's about the B side that might not make it. What do Democrats have to do to get back on track? They have to get back in touch to the radio. It's about the B-side that might not make it. What do Democrats have to do to get back on track? They have to get back in touch with the folks. The reason why they lost is because they were not listening when people said that they were in pain. They said, you're not really in pain. They really have to talk about jobs.

We did not really have a strong economic message. People are suffering in this country from urban areas to rural areas. And even though the unemployment rate is lower, there is no doubt about it, but people have to work two and three jobs just to make ends meet for the one job that they may have had ten years ago. Their income, their wages are not keeping up with the level of work that

they're doing. So they gotta stop faking it. They gotta get real with this thing. Or they gonna lose again. When you see all these things on the news like Trump-Russia, Trump-Wiretabs, Trump tax returns, should we really be paying attention to that? Or we should just things on the news like Trump, Russia, Trump wiretaps, Trump tax returns. Should we really be paying attention to that? Or we should just be on the ground trying to figure out how to keep it moving. Those are distractions.

We got to deal with the bread and butter issues of, again, Flint need. Those folks need new pipes. They still can't take showers and brush their teeth. Think about that. We enjoyed this morning. I was blessed enough to be able to brush my teeth and drink some clean water this morning. But there's some mamas that got to pour bottled

water into their sinks or into their pots to make food for their babies. And you said they had the nerve to try to say, oh no, the water's safe now. No, it's not safe. Who's focusing in on those issues? And you got Democrats still caught up in this Russia stuff. How about they do this? Because there's

enough of them. Give somebody Russia duty and give other people the duty to lift other folks in this country. They're not doing that. Yeah, it always seems like they, I always thought that historically it seems like America always cares about foreign affairs more than it does what's going on in their own backyard. And that's been going on for over eight years, even if we go back to

W, to President Bush W. Go back to that, to President Bush W, you know, go back to that. We have been in perpetual wars and real wars for a very long time in this country, and the domestic side has been ignored. And I think that is another reason why there was such an uprising in 2016, because Americans were saying enough is enough. And in the words of Fannie Lou Hamer, we sick and tired of being sick and tired.

We want somebody to pay attention to us. And that was across the spectrum. Our rural sisters and brothers were saying the same thing. Urban, suburban folks were saying, we have had it with you politicians. And they were willing to take a risk, even if it was with someone that may be very well be so destructive that nothing might be left standing at the end of this. But people were ready to take that kind of risk with authentic wrong than inauthentic right. Fake right. I like what you said.

Authentic wrong, but fake right. Yeah, they were ready. And all of the people who voted for Mr. Trump, they're not flaming racist. My brother is a conservative Republican. Really? A flaming. Flaming. Flaming.

Well, he might not like me saying the word flaming. He is a conservative Republican. I like talking to black conservative Republicans because I just want to know the mindset. He all about it. A lot of times the boy does this to money. Yeah, finances. I feel like. He all about that, too.

You know, he's one of these highly educated brothers, family man, and it's about his taxes. It's about him being able to take care of his daughter. So when they're calling people deplorable and basement dwellers and stuff, I had to think about my brother who called me up and he said, sis, I guess I'm a basement dweller now. Because when it comes down to it. Which is insulting, which makes them want to go to the polls and vote. And vote the opposite way.

It didn't bring him in. But I said, you know what? I love you and my love for you is bigger than any political party. You think you could have married a conservative Republican? Oh, good God. You know, my husband is getting there. He fell out with the Democrats. He said they don't treat his boo right.

So he's done with them. He's done with the Democrats. Yeah, it's like, I don't understand why they treat you this way, Nina. Because all you really do is, you're being honest. You want what's best for the people. Isn't that what we want? And it's not a divisive honesty. It's like I still love you, but we don't agree.

Yeah, so it's hard out here, but you know what? I can't believe they would call you a coon. Oh, you didn't mean it, Erna. Yeah, that's what they did. I was Aunt Jemima a few years ago about a black newspaper in Cleveland, but that's another story. And that came from a black newspaper all because I decided to, I made a political stand that the elders in the black community, the power brokers in the black community did not agree with. And the day before Thanksgiving in 2009, if I'm, if my memory serves me correctly, I get a call from a reporter telling me that I'm

at the top of the fold of a black newspaper under the words Happy Thanksgiving as a flippin' Aunt Jemima. Wow. They didn't even match my do-rag to my apron. You know. You got a new show coming on. Yeah, I do. Tell us about the new show. I do have a show, the Nina

Turner show. Can I tell you, Charlamagne stood me up. No. Here we go. No, that's not what happened. He changed it all. He let a winner start, right, because he all big. Dr. Oz and everything. I would love to do, I'm going to do Nina's

show. The snow shut everything down. He called me Lauren. He called my sister. He called my sister. Yeah, you found me. I did not. He stood me up for Dr. Oz. You found me. I did not. Wow.

He stood me up for Dr. Oz. That's crazy. Old Charlamagne would have done that. New Charlamagne, I don't know, man. I'm doing Nina's show first chance I get. First chance. First second chance I get. First second chance. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But Mother Nature had, you know, she decided otherwise. But yes, on the Real News Network, really excited about doing this show. And really, it's going to be about finding solutions. I want this show to really be about listening to the ideas and the thoughts. And it will be solution-oriented. As we lay out challenges, I also tell my guests that you got to give me three solutions before you leave this show. Right. Because if all of us put a little extra on our ordinary, extraordinary things can happen.

If we just look at our history, not just as an African-American people, but as an American people, change happens. Not because people have titles. Titles are good, but purpose is better. Change happens because grassroots, everyday folks get together and they demand that change. Somebody once said, don't focus so much on what you can't do. Let's focus on what we can do. We can endure. We will endure.

We have been here before. It might not exactly have been a President Trump, but we've been through struggle and strife and down times before. We will overcome. We will persevere. And we will be more triumphant when all of this is over. We're going to have a good testimony when all of this is done. Well, listen, we've got to take a page out of the Nina Turner TV show.

We can't let you leave without giving us three solutions. Oh, my God. Yes. Three solutions. I love that. Well, number one, you know, push hard. You know, believe in yourself. Know that you are the change.

Number two, you got to get involved. You got to vote. There are elections every single year from the dog catcher to the president of the United States of America. It is not enough just to vote every four years. And number three, I want people to give a s***. Right. You have to. There you go, customer. Yeah, I know. No, that's the best way to say it.

No, that was the best way to say it. I totally understand what you mean. This is the most I've seen people give a s*** about politics ever. This is the most politically engaged I've ever seen. But they gotta keep it going. To Angela's point about women came together, let's stop hating on each other. They got to keep this going.

It can't only be about Mr. Trump because the hell that people are catching, if they really think about it, it happened before he got in the office. And that's my point. All right. Well, we appreciate you joining us. Thank you. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Ricky Rosé. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club.

So listen up. Well, before hearing the song Idols Become Rivals off Rick Ross' new album, I saw a post that he put. He put up a picture of Lil Wayne. He said, the level of respect and love that I have for Wayne makes it hard to sit back and not speak on the situation. The streets need you. Being a boss means having the courage to say the things everybody's thinking

but scared to say. I can't wait for you to hear it. Midnight, Idols Become Rivals. That was yesterday. Now, Lil Wayne responds to that. He said, damn, big bro, that message hit me in the heart and put the motivation on automatic start. I needed that one boss to another.

So, of course, that had us really hyped to hear the song. What's the record about? The record about Birdman raping his artist all these years? That's what the record's about? That is addressed in this record. Now, let's hear a little piece of that. Knew that you would never visit BG. Turk came home, take that boy in this record. Now let's hear a little piece of that. Knew that you would never visit BG. Turk came home, take that boy a three-piece.

Shooting dope, using coke, moving like you the folks. Sacrificing half our life for your new musical. You would give us self-esteem and motivate our drive. But was in our pocket by the time we count to five. I pray you find the kindness in your heart for Wayne. His entire life he gave you what there was to gain. I watched this whole debacle, so I'm part to blame. Last request, can all producers please get paid?

I'm glad Ross said it because you should always tell the truth and shame the devil. But why are we acting like we didn't know this? Birdman has a history of not paying his artists. Now, when Rick Ross came on The Breakfast Club, he also addressed the issues that he has with Birdman. Topper. With Birdman. I don that he has with Birdman. Tatler. What with Birdman? I don't have one with Birdman. You know what I'm saying?

If you read the Source magazine, you'll see that. And really, me just seeing what Wayne going through as an artist, him being a boss, you know, me idolizing Birdman at the time, me looking up to Lil Wayne, Wayne being the first artist to make so many feats, not just as an artist, but an artist coming from the South. That's something that I took personal.

So for me to see the way things are transpiring, I can't respect that, and I don't respect. That's why I never understood why new artists would sign with Birdman when he has a history of not paying his artists,

especially Lil Wayne. You got Lil Wayne's face tattooed on your chest. You kissed him in the mouth, and you didn't pay him? I respect Ross for speaking up, though. Right. Alright, well, Rick Ross had more to say on Idols Become Rivals. Here's

the ending of the song where he addresses the way that Birdman treated DJ Khaled. What hurt me the most is how you did my brother Khaled. Khaled was loyal to you. The pain I seen in my brother's eyes. FaceTime and my n***a, he took that to the chin.

That's why my n***a blessed. That's why my n***a Callie blessed. You put my n***a in a hole, homie. I don't feel you for that, my n***a. That n***a hurt me, you underdig? Boom. It's painful what you see real niggas do When they get the paper, when they get the bag

You can't never forget about Lil' Bronin' Don't ever forget about Lil' Bronin' Now, we have one mystery solved Now we know who they is, okay? Who's that? Who's they? They is Birdman, Baby, and Stunner All three of them is they But now we need to know who Lil' Brother is.

Okay? Because we can't forget about Lil' Brother. That Lil' Brother. All right. And let's not forget, by the way, since we talked about Rick Ross' album be out, Drake's album is supposed to be out, More Life, tomorrow. Oh, tomorrow. March 18th is the release date for that.

Oh, it's just too much. Too much content this week. I love it. Now, what they're saying is More Life is projected to get enough streams to get as many as 400,000 equivalent album units. That's about 600 million streams, which is a huge, huge number. You know, Drake was Spotify's most streamed artist of the year last year. So that's going to be a big deal this weekend. We got a lot of music to listen to.

Well, drop one of the clues bombs for Rick Ross, because it is not too many artists who have the air for production that Rick Ross has. Him and Sam Sneak. Salute to my man, Sam Sneak. You know what I mean? They have an amazing air. But Ross is incredible. Production is dope. All right.

Now, I don't know if you guys saw Tyrese posting, but he was a little upset about something. Tyrese is always upset about something. I knew you was about to say that, and Charlamagne looked like he was about to say it, too. I was about to say the same. I know. What is he upset about now? So he said, just to think this all started over dinner, listening to a group of women tear down what they proudly called ain't-ish men and said men are all stupid and will sleep with and marry damn near anything. Huh?

And then he said, I just feel the need to send a message to all of these type of ladies, all races of ladies who just think dudes are just stupid. We know the difference in real hair and fake clip-ons. We know eyelash extensions. We know fake hard breasts pointing in four directions with your ribs showing in the middle. Why so much separation? We know when you got little chicken legs and it leads to an oversized fake ass,

you guys are really starting to go too far with manufactured beauty, fake lips, skinny nose, barely can even breathe through your own nostrils sitting across from you, and you couldn't even hide your weave tracks. Come on. So he's being attacked by a bunch of women online right now. I'm sure.

Absolutely. I'm sure he is. So he said, just know the real ones out here. See the real. Well, Tyrese got to speak for herself on some of those issues because I can't tell the difference between the hair. Now, that's what I was going to say. I don't know that guys can necessarily tell the difference.
