Starting point is 00:00:00 Had enough of this country? Ever dreamt about starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete. Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. Oh my God.

And we'd like you to join us each week for our show, Civic Cipher. That's right.

We're going to learn how to become better allies to each other. So join us each Saturday for Civic Cipher on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or show you love to hate. From the East to the West Coast. DJ Envy. Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha God. The realest show on the planet. This is why I respect this show, because this is a voice to society.
Starting point is 00:01:52 Change in the game. You guys are the coveted morning show, which I earned it. Impacting the culture. They wake up in the morning and they want to hear that Breakfast Club. The world's most dangerous morning show. We in the mother, We in the house. Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Andy.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Oh, boy. Oh, my goodness. What? Tell them in the guide. Peace to the planet. Guess what day it is. Guess what day it is. Pumpkin. Have you been drinking tea?
Starting point is 00:02:38 Yes. I drink tea every morning anyway. I mean, the tea, the recipe that I gave you. Have you been drinking that? Oh, no. I haven't had a chance. Why not? I tell you you it works. The good doctors gave me that remedy, and it works.
Starting point is 00:02:50 The detox now, doctors. Absolutely. Well, the problem is that I've been traveling a lot. I got back from New Orleans on Monday night, and then yesterday I had to run around and do a whole bunch of stuff, because I have to leave today to go to L.A. But sometimes God tells you you just need to stop, sit, or just lay down and chill out.
Starting point is 00:03:08 I would love to. Then do it. I'm okay. I don't sound better, though. Just think about this. I couldn't even speak at all. I would try to talk and nothing would happen. Yeah, that's been like seven days ago.
Starting point is 00:03:20 That was like seven days. That was on Friday. I gave you a remedy. Take the remedy. The remedy works. I think it's like something closed. Closed. Manuka honey and something else.
Starting point is 00:03:27 You can't prescribe somebody a remedy and say it's like something, something closed and something, something. You got to tell them what's in it. I sent exactly what was in it, and it works. It worked overnight. You know, I'm not helping you no more. What up, Charlamagne? Peace to the planet.
Starting point is 00:03:39 What's going on? Nothing much, man. Listen, man, I'm a slacker. I've never felt like such a slacker in my life. No, I thought you were being good. Every day I get here and I see that you beat me here, I'm proud. So you're not a slacker. The last about good seven, ten days.
Starting point is 00:03:52 I don't give a damn about being on time here. I'm talking about I still got my Christmas tree up. Me too. My Christmas tree is still up. How about with my lights on? No, no, no. My lights. No, all my lights are down.
Starting point is 00:04:01 All the lights are off the tree. I just keep forgetting to throw it out. Like, I literally keep forgetting that it's just sitting right there in the corner. My lights are still on on the Christmas tree. When you walk in my house, you still see the Christmas tree glowing. The only light that's still on is the star at the top. My kids like it. It's almost February.
Starting point is 00:04:14 It is almost February. That's what I'm saying. Like, yo, all of us out there that still got our Christmas trees up, we need to be ashamed of our goddamn selves. At this point, you might as well leave it up until next year. Nah, it's nasty. I got a real tree. So year. Nah, it's nasty. I got a real tree. So it's like, it's disgusting. And I know when I pick it up, it's probably going to fall apart.
Starting point is 00:04:32 My wife took everything else down, all the other Christmas decorations and everything down. My only job is to throw the tree out. And that tree is just still sitting there in that goddamn corner. You can't do that one job. I keep forgetting, man. I woke up this morning looking at it like, God damn, I forgot about you yesterday. I know, man. But once it's there and it's been there since, you know, I forgot about you yesterday. I know, man, but once it's there and it's been there since the top of December,
Starting point is 00:04:48 you just kind of forget about it. Now that the decorations and stuff are off, I looked at it this morning like, God damn it, I forgot to throw you out again? I'm going to get your ass today. I still got the ornaments on mine. Let me take the ornaments off today first, and then I'll get the tree out of here.
Starting point is 00:05:00 Jesus Christ, man. I know, I know, I know. Well, let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, the Supreme Court has ruled that Flint water lawsuits can move forward, so we'll give you information on that. Also, yesterday, let's talk about impeachment, and we'll talk about Hakeem Jeffries and his quote as he kicked off the impeachment hearing.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Can you do me a favor and go, ah-ha? Can you do that one time? You just did it. Anyway, all right. Front page news is next. This is The Breakfast Club. Come on. Too early for these dumbass conversations I hear in the Breakfast Club studio.
Starting point is 00:05:28 I'm hearing about guys getting pepper sprayed and women getting scratched. It's too early for all of this, man. All right. Morning, everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. Now, congratulations to Derek Jeter. Yesterday, he was inducted.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Well, he will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Okay. Drop on the clues box for Derek Jeter. Yesterday he was inducted, well, he will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Okay, dropping the clues bonds for Derek Jeter. It was supposed to be unanimous, I think, but he only got 396 votes out of 397. So one hater decided for him not to be unanimous. He's still going, though. Long before Derek Jeter was in the Baseball Hall of Fame, here on The Breakfast Club we put him in the whole Hall of Fame because he's legendary. Remember we used to do that every Friday, the whole Hall of Fame?
Starting point is 00:06:06 Yep, and he used to give gift bags out to his conquest. They had a closet, right? They said of just gifts. Gift bag, man. Drop on the Clues box. Derek Jeter, legendary. Legendary with the stick. What'd you say allegedly?
Starting point is 00:06:19 This guy's crazy. What else we talking about, Yee? Well, let's talk about yesterday as the Senate was approving rules for the impeachment trial of Donald Trump, of course. And the House impeachment manager, Hakeem Jeffries, we know him up here. He's been on The Breakfast Club before. He's from Brooklyn. And he was laying out what we are actually witnessing and why there is an impeachment trial for Donald Trump. And as he laid out what was actually going on, here's what he said.
Starting point is 00:06:47 We are here, sir, because President Trump corruptly abused his power and then he tried to cover it up. And we are here, sir, to follow the facts, apply the law, be guided by the Constitution, and present the truth to the American people. That is why we are here, Mr. Sekulow. And if you don't know, now you know. You know, he's always quoting Biggie because he's from Brooklyn. So I'm sure no one else in the room knew what was going on. I'll tell you something, man.
Starting point is 00:07:19 This is the most quietest impeachment I've ever witnessed. I only witnessed one other one when I was in the 90s. But even when I was a kid, it seemed like that impeachment was making way more noise than this one is. It's like nobody gives a damn. Well, right now, they have set out the rules, and they said the president's team has three days to
Starting point is 00:07:35 make their 24 hours of trial arguments, and House impeachment managers also have three days also. So, initially, it was supposed to be two. Now it's three days. So we'll keep you guys updated. And Trump is planning his next distraction. He don't give a damn about no guy.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Not at all. Whatever the hell you talking about. He's trying to figure out something else to distract us. All right. Now the Supreme Court has allowed Flint water lawsuits to move forward. So they have cleared the way for that to happen. They can now sue the state and local government officials in Flint, Michigan. For years, they've been arguing that they're protected by qualified immunity from being sued for their role in the water contamination crisis.
Starting point is 00:08:13 But now, and as you know, lower courts have ruled to the contrary. Now the Supreme Court has said you can move forward with these suits. So it's time for the people of Flint to start feeling like they are going to get their day in court. And that entire process is now moving forward. Question, do you need money to sue or will lawyers take these cases pro bono? Because you can't sue if you don't have no money. I think they'll end up getting paid, the lawyers, because people will get money and then you get a percentage. That's what I mean, for the lawyers to do it pro bono.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Yeah, they'll do a third where they take a third. But my whole thing is when they sue Michigan, right, and they win because they will win because of the water, what happens from there? Do you bankrupt Michigan? Because there's so many people affected by it. So what happens after that? I don't know. I feel like it's a hook in this whole situation, man, because the government can keep these people tied up in courts forever.
Starting point is 00:08:54 I would like to know who these lawyers are that are going to take these cases pro bono because, like you said, it's going to be a lot. And I could imagine, though, there has to be some type of settlement. Yeah, because even with the settlement, do you bankrupt Michigan? Because everybody's going to sue. Everybody's pretty much been affected who lives in those areas. So what happens from there? Yeah, it could be something that happens over the course of a period of time, too. Not like they have a big chunk of money.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Because then you sue, and then what do they do? They stop the resources? They stop putting money into the schools? Do they stop, you know, helping with the paving of the roads? Like, what happens? Art takes a very long time, and then there's one lump sum payment to a whole bunch of people, and it's like, everybody get $50. Yeah, everybody get $30.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Everybody get $50. $40. All right. Well, that is your Front Page News. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now.
Starting point is 00:09:46 Maybe you had a bad night or bad morning. Or maybe you feel blessed. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Is your country falling apart?
Starting point is 00:10:00 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, 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 Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a
Starting point is 00:10:24 great colonial tradition. The Waikana tribe 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?

Starting point is 00:13:36 You better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? Yeah, this is Jeff from Charlotte. What's up, Envy? What's up, bro? 704, what's happening? Hey, Angela Yee, I. What's up, Envy? What's up, bro? 704, what's happening? Hey, Angela Yee, I hope you feel better, boo-boo. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:13:51 I actually feel okay. I feel okay. It's just my voice. Hey, Envy, you need to holler at Noah, man. You know, you said you got the same hair plug as Tory Lanez and Tyga. I don't know if there's any truth to that, but I heard him say it. It's all facts. Not true, but go ahead. This is for Charlamagne.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Charlamagne, you're from South Carolina, right? Yes, sir. I know for a fact your mother and grandmother did not raise you to use the Lord's name in vain as much as you do. Why you mean? Why did you say you didn't need to do that? What you talking about? Well, you say goddamn every other word,
Starting point is 00:14:26 bro. Well, goddamn. I say Jesus a lot, too. You know what I've learned over my life? Anybody that curses that much, there's either one or two things going on. Ignorance or limited vocabulary.
Starting point is 00:14:42 And I don't want to put you in either one of those categories. I don't believe that. I know some very intellectual people who curse like sailors. I'm just saying, when your day comes and you don't understand before Jesus, I want you to give him the same excuse you give me on the phone right now. Yeah, you know what? Jesus is going to say, man, every time you saw some BS,
Starting point is 00:15:03 every time you saw something devilish, you called my name. You saw something like this ignorant fool on the phone. You said, Jesus, God damn, somebody help this dumbass mother****** on my line right now telling me that saying God's name is too much. Like, what's wrong with saying God's name when you see some foolishness? That's what you're supposed to call on when you see some foolishness. Hello. Hey, what's going on? Charlamagne just got cursed out for saying cursing.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Oh, that ain't nothing new. What's that? Get it off your chest, bro. I got, instead of the government burning the money at the end of the year, why don't they just go ahead and give that to Flint? So instead of people getting their income tax return, don't give them income tax? No, he said burning the money.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Oh, burning the money. Yeah, because that's all they're going to do is get rid of it. Next thing you know, we got new hundreds, new fives, whatever, whatever. Well, I just heard that Flint, Michigan, they have, Flint has an insurance policy. And Ben Crump is on the Flint case. I'm going to try to get Ben to call in, but they said it's some type of insurance policy. They said it's very complex to explain via text. So I'm going to have Ben call in.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Hello, who's this? Good morning, guys. You crying? No, I just woke up. Oh, okay. I just wanted to spread some positivity. Good morning, y'all. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Wait, wait, wait, wait. That's your girl? That's your girl? What's happening? I was laying down. I was getting adjusted. You by yourself? Yeah, by myself.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Are you watching porn? No, right? We hear a woman's voice. No, no porn this morning. This morning, I ain't hit Charlamagne. What am I on to? I'm right here, King. What's happening?
Starting point is 00:16:38 Did he say where your mouth at? My sister called me. She's leaving me alone. Who are you talking to? Who are you talking to, bro? What's wrong with you? People blowing up my phone. I can't talk to y'all in peace.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Come on, y'all. I would like to express some positivity and let everybody know how happy this is. I don't know what's going on. Can y'all hear me? What? Okay. Hello?
Starting point is 00:16:59 Yes, we can hear you, fool. We can hear you. You ain't saying nothing. We have to go. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. We appreciate you, King. We have to go. Good morning. Good morning. We appreciate you, King.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Goodness gracious. Everybody just waking up. Let's give everybody some time. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, it is up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Starting point is 00:17:16 The Breakfast Club. Wake up. Wake up. Wake your ass up. This is your time to get it off your chest. Say it, say it, say it. Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this?
Starting point is 00:17:32 What's going on? This is Darian from Houston, Texas. What's up, bro? Get it off your chest. Yeah, man, I want to say that we need to stop discouraging our community from wanting to be a rapper and wanting to get into the sport. Them two industries made the most black millionaires. Nobody's discouraging.
Starting point is 00:17:51 So not the tech industry? People are just encouraging people to do things outside of that. Yeah, especially when getting into either one of those leagues and being successful is the same rate as hitting the Powerball lottery. Actually, Powerball lottery is easier. I'm just saying, like, no other industry that has more black millionaires than the industry. Okay, and we can't change that?
Starting point is 00:18:12 Like, the tech industry can't have that one day? Medicine can't have that? Entrepreneurship? Real estate? I wish you were for that. I'm just telling you what it is. What do you do, bro? I'm a truck driver and I rap. Okay, you're rapping. Let's hear something.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Let me see if you're going to be the next millionaire. Okay, let's hear something. Man, you do, bro? I'm a truck driver and I rap. Okay, you're a rapper. Let's hear something. Let me see if you're going to be the next millionaire. Okay, let's hear something. Man, you better blow that goddamn horn on that truck and figure out how to get more trucks
Starting point is 00:18:31 because the rap ain't going to... That's right. No, let's hear it. Them raps ain't going to cut it. I'm a product of the late 80s but I've been through a lot from the city where they bend in the block.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Gotta make it out when the door opportunity is closed. I believe I'm picking a lot but but it's safe for the cops. It's about to be an emergency and everything and every beat that I got. Thinking I'm not. Y'all got me twisted like a beautician thread in my lock. It's the real me.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Alright, let me tell you something. It's levels to being good, right? Let me tell you what kind of good you are. If I was riding with you in your truck and we was on like a long, you know, trip and we was bored, like, yo, kick one of them freestyles for me, man. It would keep me up. But that's about as good as it gets for you.
Starting point is 00:19:10 You know what I'm saying? Like, there's nothing else after that. There's no hit single. There's no performing at the Grammys later in life. You don't need a hit single to be popping in the rap industry these days. Oh, my God. All right, that's what you tell yourself? We're not going to discourage you to rap, but we're just going to tell you it shouldn't
Starting point is 00:19:25 be your profession. What's your rap name? What's your rap name? Gary and Punchline Thomas. What? Gary and Punchline Thomas? Man, you funny. You should be a comedian.
Starting point is 00:19:35 I started. I came. Okay. Okay, have a nice day, Gary, Punchline Thomas. Have a good one, bro. Keep on trucking. Respect the truck driver.
Starting point is 00:19:42 My goodness. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Marty. Marty, what up? Get it off your chest My goodness. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Mati. Mati, what up? Get it off your chest, bro. Yeah, man, I just want to get gun violence off the streets, man. I had a homeboy of mine who's a one-booker. He was my business partner as well. He got shot and killed about a week or so ago, and
Starting point is 00:19:57 it's just crazy that someone would take his life. He was only 32 when it happened, and I just find it crazy that people still using guns out here to just kill people. Well, I'm sorry to hear that, and our condolences to your friend's family and to you for the pain you're going through right now.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Yes, ma'am. I appreciate it. I listen to y'all all the time, and I just want to say keep doing what y'all are doing. Thank you, King. Hello, who's this? Yo, it's Icon calling from the 414 North Schneider, Milwaukee, home of the big Greek Bucks. Hello, who's this? Yo, it's Icon calling from the 415 North Side of Milwaukee, home of the Big Greek Bucks. Hey, I was watching something about Milwaukee Bucks last night, man,
Starting point is 00:20:31 and how, you know, Brian Wendhorst said if they don't keep the Greek freak, the Supermax is a bust, the Supermax don't work. Listen, we don't need Big Greek. No, that's a lie. We really need him. What? I'm about to say you're bugging right now. You're just talking to hear yourself.
Starting point is 00:20:47 What's up, though? Get it off your chest, man. Hey, man, shut up, man. You check this out, though. I didn't get a chance to get through with you on the Bucket Club moments, but this is one moment. You know, I rock with you real hard. This is one moment I want you to really, really work hard on.
Starting point is 00:21:01 Master P was up there. The first time I think Master P was up there. And he said a comment about Mercedes. About Mercedes. And you said something about Mercedes. You called him.
Starting point is 00:21:09 What you said? You said something about like a prostitute or something like that. No, I said, I said, I said her poom poom was fat. That was like six years ago.
Starting point is 00:21:18 Right, right. Okay, so I'm right. So anyway, Master P went in on you about disrespecting her and this and that and this and that. My problem is you fell back on that and apologized to everybody. But you should have went hard on you about disrespecting her and this and that and this and that. My problem is you fell back on that and apologized to everybody,
Starting point is 00:21:27 but you should have went hard because you was right. First of all, Master P had her on an album cover bent over, if I'm not mistaken, on a Mercedes with some little short songs. Yeah, but that album cover was in the 90s. You know what I'm saying? You don't know how their relationship has progressed and developed now. Like he said, she's a mother now. I ain't mad at him. I can't be mad
Starting point is 00:21:50 at a man for telling me, you know, fall back off his people. No, that's good. Now, I'm saying now, but back then, we're just speaking on back then, on what you saw back then, and the way he marketed her. Yeah, he had her bent over a little short so long on a Mercedes. So that's the case. You really felt like that back then.
Starting point is 00:22:05 I don't know what I'm saying. I was there listening now, but you was right for this. Because you were speaking on that. No, I see what you're saying. You're saying at the time, when I was young, that's what I saw. Right. And that's what you're speaking on it. But, you know, I understand what the last few were saying.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Like, you know, she's a mother now. But you were just speaking on the moment. At the time. You know what I'm saying? Well, I'm glad that you appreciate the Breakfast Club catalog. That's been on his mind for six years, bro. That's about a six-year interview right there. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051
Starting point is 00:22:32 if you need to vent, hit us up at any time. Now, you got rumors on the way? Man, this broke my heart yesterday watching Delonte West and that video footage that was circulating about him. You guys saw him as he's homeless on the street getting into a fight, getting beat up. Well, now we'll tell you what happened to the person who actually filmed that.
Starting point is 00:22:50 All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. 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's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel.
Starting point is 00:23:16 I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson the First, King of Kaperburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia. Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory.
Starting point is 00:23:32 I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warheads. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets. Bullet holes. We need help! We need help!
Starting point is 00:23:41 We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max. You might know me from my popular online series, The Running Interview Show,
Starting point is 00:24:03 where I run with celebrities, athletes, entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all.
Starting point is 00:24:46 It's lighthearted, pretty crazy and very fun. Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. So, y'all, this is Questlove and I'm here to tell you about a new podcast I've been working on with the Story Pirates and John Glickman called Historical Records. It's a family friendly podcast. Yeah, you heard that right. A podcast for all ages. One you can listen to and enjoy with your kids starting on September 27th. I'm going to toss it over to the host of Historical Records, Nimany, to tell you all about it. Make sure you check it out. Hey, y'all.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Niminy here. I'm the host of a brand new history podcast for kids and families called Historical Records. Historical Records brings history to life through hip-hop. Flash, slam, another one gone. Bash, bam, another one gone. The crack of the bat and another one gone. The tip of the cap, there's another one gone. Each episode is about a different inspiring figure from history. Like this one about Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl in Alabama who refused to give up her seat on the city bus nine whole months before Rosa Parks did the same thing.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Check it. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records. Because in order to make history, you have to make some noise. Listen to Historical Records on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Listen up, it's just in. All the gossip, gossip. The Rumor Report. Gossip, gossip. With Angela Yee.
Starting point is 00:26:35 It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, you know, the Grammys are on this Sunday and Alicia Keys will be hosting, right? Well, she also has a new album on the way. It's just called Alicia, the album, and it's coming out March 20th. So she posted that on Instagram.
Starting point is 00:26:50 She also has a world tour. That world tour is starting on June 5th in Dublin, Ireland, and it will be ending at this point, September 22nd in Miami. So if you're a huge Alicia Keys fan, make sure you watch her at the Grammys and then get ready for her new album, followed by the tour. Sasha Katie is somewhere doing backflips right now. It's Luthor, homie,
Starting point is 00:27:10 Sasha Katie. She's an Alicia Keys fan, I know. Yeah, she was our old producer. She loves Alicia Keys. Absolutely. Alright, Delonte West. Now, this was hard to watch, but former NBA player Delonte West was in D.C. and apparently he had gotten into a fight.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Now, the video footage we saw was of him getting his head stomped on in the streets of D.C. And we didn't know the back story at first. And then there was video footage of him being questioned. Why'd you hit him? Did he attack you first from the south defense or did you hit him? Man, I walked down the street. The man approached me with an eye bug with a gun.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Virgil, where's his gun at? I don't give a ****. Young champ. All right. Now, according to witnesses, they did say that Delonte West was the person who did at first attack the man that was beating him in the middle of the road with a glass bottle. So that was his response. He was beating him up, stomping on his head and all of that. A lot of people were on social media making jokes about it. But other NBA players and his former coach and other people are saying that this actually
Starting point is 00:28:22 needs to be something that gets addressed. Some people are saying they have reached out to his family to try to help and get him the professional help that he does need. He's been having a lot of issues. This isn't the first incident that we've seen of Delonte West where it looks like something is not quite right with him. His former agent, Aaron Goodwin, did confirm that it was him. He said he's currently recovering from the attack with
Starting point is 00:28:45 family members, but he desperately needs medical attention. He does have a support system around him, but his close friends and family members need more help to keep him safe and out of trouble. Yeah, this is the reason I'm so big on mental health and getting people to invest in their mental wealth. Because when things are not right in your mind, it doesn't matter who you are,
Starting point is 00:29:01 what your background is, how much money you have, how much money you had. When you lose that brain, you lose it. And it can happen to anyone. I promise you, one of the reasons I started going to therapy and really practicing mindfulness is because I just did not want to go in a very bad place. Okay, I've watched it. I've seen people that were perfectly fine go nuts
Starting point is 00:29:18 and I did not want that to happen to me. And that brother Delonte West probably always had bipolar schizophrenia, but he probably never gotten treatment for it, and that's why he's at the point he is now. I hope he gets the help he needs. Now, there's a police officer who is suspected of leaking that video, so that's how everyone saw it, and that police officer has been suspended.
Starting point is 00:29:35 What kind of whole-ass police officer are you to leak a video? Aren't you supposed to be intervening and helping a situation? Supposed to be. Who are you leaking a video to? Did he get paid for that? Well, it showed him being questioned while shirtless and handcuffed. That's the video, one of the two videos that was circulating. You can't be a police officer worrying about your likes on the gram or your likes on Facebook.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Ozzy Osbourne has revealed that he does have Parkinson's disease. He's been diagnosed. And he did an interview with Good Morning America with Robin Roberts alongside his wife slash manager, Sharon Osbourne. And here's what he said. I did my last show, New Year's Eve, and I had a bad fall. I had to have surgery on my neck, which screwed all my nerves in.
Starting point is 00:30:16 And I found out that I have that. It's Parkin-2, which is a form of Parkinson's. It's not a death sentence by any stretch of the imagination, but it does affect certain nerves in your body. And it's like you have a good day, a good day, and then a really bad day. He was actually diagnosed last February.
Starting point is 00:30:38 I thought he was diagnosed years ago. Yeah, no, his illness was made public just yesterday, but he was diagnosed last February, and he just said he was running out of excuses for why he couldn't do certain things. So he didn't want to have to hide that from people anymore. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Ms. Yee. Now, we got front-page news coming up.
Starting point is 00:30:58 What are we talking about? Yes, let's talk about the Grammys CEO. You know, the Grammys is coming up, and she was just placed on administrative leave less than a week ago. Well, now she is filing a complaint against the organization, and we'll tell you why. Alright, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning,
Starting point is 00:31:15 everybody. It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get into some front page news. Let's start off with congratulations to Derek Jeter. Yesterday, it seems like he got enough votes to make it into the Hall of Fame, Baseball Hall of Fame. So congratulations to Derek Jeter.
Starting point is 00:31:32 That's right. And long before he made it into the Baseball Hall of Fame, he made it into the Breakfast Club's whole Hall of Fame because his stories of conquest were legendary. He would give women gift bags as parting gifts, man. Dropping a Clues Bond for Derek Jeter. He's good with the wood. That's why he's in the
Starting point is 00:31:47 Baseball Hall of Fame and the whole Hall of Fame. My goodness. Yee, what else we talking about? Well, the CEO of the Grammys has filed a sexual harassment complaint against the Recording Academy. Deborah Dugan filed the complaint just this week, just right before the Grammys actually come on this weekend on Sunday.
Starting point is 00:32:04 And she was appointed the first female president and CEO of the Academy just six months ago. So they did confirm this news via Twitter from her legal team. And what she has said, according to the complaint, is that she was sexually harassed by the Academy's general counsel, Joel Katz, who allegedly tried to kiss her during a dinner, as well as repeatedly referred to her as baby. She also says that her predecessor allegedly raped a female recording artist, which was upon information and belief, the real reason his contract was not renewed. That was Neil Portnow.
Starting point is 00:32:36 That was the former CEO. She says she was urged to rehire him as a consultant with a $750,000 annual salary. She also said that she was paid much less than Neil Portnow was and also his predecessor, Michael Green. So that is her complaint that she's filing against the Recording Academy. All right. Now, Hillary Clinton has clarified that she will indeed support Bernie Sanders if he is a Democratic nominee. This is all after all this drama happened.
Starting point is 00:33:10 There's an upcoming documentary where she says that people don't like Bernie Sanders. And she said nobody likes him. They asked her from The Hollywood Reporter if he gets a nomination, will you endorse and campaign for him? And she had responded, I'm not going to go there yet. We're still in a very vigorous primary season. But Bernie Sanders responded and said this. On a good day, my wife likes me, so let's clear the air on that one. And right now, what my focus is on, outside of the impeachment trial, is doing everything I can to defeat the most dangerous president in modern American history, that is Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:33:41 And that's really about all that. Why do you think the secretary is still talking about 2016? That is a good question. Ask him. Listen, Democrats got to stop slapping each other and then hugging it out, all right? It's too much infighting amongst the Democrats. Y'all distracting people from the impeachment proceedings with this petty nonsense. And the reason Senator Hillary Clinton is still talking about the 20— not Senator, Secretary Hillary Clinton is still talking about the 2016 election is because she lost.
Starting point is 00:34:01 And she probably feels like she got robbed. And the fact she was probably the most qualified presidential candidate ever, and she lost to the executive producer of Celebrity Apprentice, that hurts. And she's upset, I think, in particular with Bernie Sanders because he didn't drop out as people wanted him to do when she was about to be the nominee, and he didn't campaign for her or endorse her until pretty late. So she's always had an issue with him because of that.
Starting point is 00:34:23 And I just want everybody to know today is National Hot Sauce Day. That is a fact. That is a fact. It's a great moment to flash back to when Hillary had hot sauce in her bag, right? Yep. What's something that you always carry with you? Hot sauce. Really?
Starting point is 00:34:36 Yeah. Hot sauce. Really? Yes. Now listen, I want you to know people are going to see this and say, okay, she's paying her and the black people. Okay. Is it working?
Starting point is 00:34:48 It didn't work too well. Nah, not at all. National Hot Sauce Day. Sleuth everybody out there who likes hot sauce. Who comes up with these days? I don't know. Anybody? Oh.
Starting point is 00:34:58 And it's National Polka Dot Day. And National Celebration of Life Day, which should be every day that you're alive in case you care. Absolutely. All right. Well, that is your front page news you're alive, in case you care. Absolutely. All right. Well, that is your front page news. Now, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-12151.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Are we going to talk about this violence that we've been talking about all morning? Yes. Now, I was looking at Hollywood Unlocked, and one of the captions was, Woman charged for tasing husband after catching him at a club with his girlfriend. Yes, and then our producer. Can we call her in here? Can somebody go get Taylor? Miss Taylor, a.k.a. Philly's own hate property. You know, all the hate she got in her heart.
Starting point is 00:35:32 Yes, we were talking about a story. Here's Taylor. Hey, Taylor. Come confess to your crimes on live radio, Taylor. We were talking about this woman that was charged for tasing her husband after catching him at a club with his girlfriend. Philly's own. She at least waited until he left the club to do that. She probably just got there.
Starting point is 00:35:46 He was walking out. Philly's most wanted. And they said she was waiting outside. Oh, my goodness. I know you got a warrant out for your arrest probably for this crime. First of all, in his home. It's like an episode of Cheaters. So now one of our producers, Taylor,
Starting point is 00:35:55 as we were talking about the story, she was like, I did something like this before. What did you do, Taylor? Into the mic. I pepper sprayed my boyfriend at the time when I found out he cheated. He cheated? Yeah. And you pepper sprayed him? Mm- time when I found out he cheated. He cheated? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:05 And you pepper sprayed him? Mm-hmm. In the face? Yeah. Paying him back? Had no problem with it either. Wow. Wow.
Starting point is 00:36:12 All right, so maybe it's a thing. I don't know. Let's open up the phone lines. What's the most violent thing you ever did to your boyfriend? We're not condoning violence. Not at all. Advocating violence. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:36:22 What is the most violent thing you've ever done to your boyfriend? I'm hearing tasing. I'm hearing pepper spraying. Yeah, this is crazy. Jesus Christ. I do have a friend that actually ran her boyfriend over. I know who you're talking about with her car and she went to jail. Really? Yeah, me. Did he die?
Starting point is 00:36:38 No. Alright, he didn't. Now listen, let's talk about it. What's the most violent thing you ever did to your significant other? Boyfriend, though. I think she did like eight months, man. She ran him over. He cheated, and she ran him over.
Starting point is 00:36:49 That's right, ladies. I think she got in trouble because not only did she go forward, but then she backed up. Wow. I want to hear about all these domestic violence stories from women to men. Okay? Goodness gracious. Let's hear about them. Steve said that she's single.
Starting point is 00:37:02 I think she is, Steve. You want to? I'll set you up. I'm letting you know I'm taking names and addresses because I'm putting cases on all you mother... Okay? Goodness gracious. Let's hear about them. Steve said that she's single. I think she is, Steve. You want her? I'll set you up. And I'm letting you know I'm taking names and addresses because I'm putting cases on all you mother... Okay? 800... Starting with Taylor.
Starting point is 00:37:11 585-1051. Call us up right now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's topic time. Pick up the phone, baby. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Talk about it.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about something I seen on Hollywood Unlocked about a young woman who tased her husband. She caught him cheating and she tased him. So basically what we're asking is, what's the most violent thing you ever did to your man?
Starting point is 00:37:48 Because our producer, Taylor, from Philly, who I call Hate Property, she told us a story about how she pepper-sprayed her boyfriend when she caught him cheating. And you told me a story about some woman who ran somebody over and kept running them over. Yeah, she's a friend. She ran them over and then I think she got locked
Starting point is 00:38:04 up. She definitely did. She put the car in reverse and ran them him over. Yeah, she's a friend. She ran him over and then I think she got locked up. She definitely did. She put him in reverse. She put the car in reverse and ran him over again. She should be locked up. Every single one of these women committing violent acts against men
Starting point is 00:38:12 should be locked up. For the record, I've never put my hands on a man. I've never done anything violent, never pepper sprayed anybody. I think the worst thing you can do to somebody when they do you wrong
Starting point is 00:38:20 is not F with them no more. I'm going to tell my wife that she definitely put hands on me. I never had a hand on you. Because I don't want nobody to put going to tell my wife that. She definitely put hands on me. Because I don't want nobody to put their hands on me. My wife definitely put her hands on me back in the day. Hello, who's this? Yo, this is Anonymous.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Oh, Anonymous. Why you got to be anonymous over the radio? This must be good. I feel bad about it now, but I guess you could say it's good. Well, take us on Bluetooth and tell us the story. Come on. And this better be a story about you getting beat up, because I don't think you heard the question if you're telling us the other way around. So pretty much the best way I got back
Starting point is 00:38:50 at someone I was dating, people that cheated on me, I found out because my friend Jack saw his profile. The way I got him back was he's HIV positive, so I told him to go ahead, hit him up, and do his thing with him more. Oh, my God. You know, you should go to jail for that one. Yeah, and do his thing with him more. Oh, my God. You know, you should go to jail for that one.
Starting point is 00:39:08 Yeah, y'all just went too far. I'm telling you. What's your name? My name is Anonymous. Well, we got your call ID, bruh, bruh. So you set up your boyfriend with somebody who was HIV positive? HIV positive. This was like...
Starting point is 00:39:21 Doesn't matter what it was. That's what you did. Yeah. I don't want to play no more. I knew this game was not going what you did. Yeah. I don't want to play no more. I knew this game was not going to be good, but I don't even want to play no more. First call, I think I'm done. First call, I'm out of this one.
Starting point is 00:39:31 I'm tapping out of this one. I'm cool. You know what I'm saying? I don't even know what to say about that. I just wanted to hear from women, you know what I mean, telling us about the most violent thing that they've ever done to their significant other.
Starting point is 00:39:40 And here come the gay man. All right, taking all the air out the room. All right, well, let me out the room. All right. Well, let me try something else. Hello. Who's this? This is Sean from Kentucky. Sean, good morning.
Starting point is 00:39:51 You sound violent. Hi there, I'm Charlevay. Sean, what did you do when you caught your... But I wanted to comment on the domestic violence situation. This is not a domestic violence. Yes, it is. This is domestic violence. If these women are assaulting these men, not a domestic violence. Yes, it is. It is domestic violence. If these women are assaulting these men,
Starting point is 00:40:06 this is domestic violence. She wished my mama should have died of cancer and I threw gasoline on her. You threw gasoline on who? This is going too left for me. My ex-girlfriend. Your girlfriend? Yeah, my ex-girlfriend. What the hell going on in the LGBTQ community? Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:40:23 We just had a good old-fashioned tase and then some pepper spray and some running over at a car. Y'all jumped out the window of the first two cars, LGBTQ community. Jesus Christ. All right, 805-85-1051.
Starting point is 00:40:37 I was hoping that somebody would just be like, I just left and never talked to him again. No, we asked the question most of the time. Well, you know what we did? We get what we asked for. You're right. We asked what's the most violent thing that, you know, as a woman, you've done to your man when you caught him cheating.
Starting point is 00:40:50 By the way, none of these two, well, I guess the first guy I got caught cheating on. All right. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I ain't gonna wait now. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing.
Starting point is 00:40:58 I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing.
Starting point is 00:40:58 I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing.
Starting point is 00:41:00 I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing.
Starting point is 00:41:00 I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. I ain't playing. Add your opinions to The Breakfast Club Top. Come on! 800-585-1051. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, we were asking, we seen an article on Hollywood Unlocked.
Starting point is 00:41:20 You seen it. Yeah, I seen it. About a woman who tased her husband after catching him cheating. Yes, indeed. Then our producer said that she has pepper sprayed her boyfriend when she caught him cheating. Then you told us a story about a woman who ran somebody over with a car. Yeah, she ran her boyfriend over and then she reversed over him. And for the record, I said I've never done anything like that.
Starting point is 00:41:39 The most I've ever done is just leave a situation alone and that's hurt somebody more than anything physical. So we're trying to see what's the most violent thing a woman has ever done to a man. Hello, who's this? We've gotten some wild ones thus far. What's your name? Hello. My name is Kavonica. Hey, Kavonica.
Starting point is 00:41:53 Can you take us off Bluetooth or speaker? I hear a lot of noise in the back. Kavonica sounds like a cheap liquor that some DJ is getting paid to promote. Can you hear me? Yes, Kavonica. Kavonica Vodka. What did you do to your man? Like Veronica. Oh, Kavonica Vodka. It's Kav hear me? Yes, Kavonica. Kavonica Vodka. What did you do to your man? Like Veronica.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Oh, Kavonica Vodka. It's Kavonica. He is different. Oh, Kavonica. Like a Kirby Veronica. K-R-O-N-I-C-A. Okay. How are you, Kavonica? What's the craziest thing
Starting point is 00:42:14 that you've done to your boyfriend when you caught him cheating? Okay, the craziest thing I've done is nothing because that feels unkindly. Okay, all the throwing the clothes out, burning and all that, my brother's been got that done. You know, I have multiple strokes. So I'm unable to do certain things when I get kindly. Okay? All the throwing the clothes out, burning and all that, my brothers done got that done.
Starting point is 00:42:25 You know, I have multiple strokes. So I'm unable to do certain things when I get upset. I'm 32 years old in there. Now, I got to see your Instagram or your Facebook. I got to see how you look because... I don't have neither or because I don't deal with the Instagram and stuff like that. I'm unable to see certain things. But when I do get upset, you know, I just come home kindly.
Starting point is 00:42:43 I don't do nothing. So how you stunt on your boyfriend? How you let him know you're still looking good out here, you know what I'm saying? Making him miss what he used to have? Well, you know, I'm popular. So people, you know, people let him know by mouth. There you go. Okay. You ain't gonna see me. Alright. Gail.
Starting point is 00:43:00 Yes. What's the craziest thing you did to your boyfriend when you caught him cheating? Well, I was waiting for him like about four hours. He said he was going home to sleep. So when he got home, I was outside the building. There was a bunch of guys standing outside the building. So when he pulled up, I started to say something to him and he got mad. So I pulled him through the car window and dropped him on his head in front of everybody.
Starting point is 00:43:19 They started laughing at him. You pulled him through the car window when you drove off? The car window. No, he was sitting in the car. So you pulled him out the car window When you drove off? In the car window No, he was sitting in the car Oh, so you pulled him out the car? Yes, I did And dropped him on his head In front of all the guys on the block
Starting point is 00:43:30 How strong are you? Well, he was like 5'6 And I'm 5'6 And he was kind of tiny at the time As clear as a shield Well, what do you do for a living? I'm looking for security I'm looking for extra security.
Starting point is 00:43:47 I would do that, but I don't do security. I work in the medical field. I'm going to tell you something. On a scale of one to Lorena Bobbitt of the level of crazy things I've heard this morning, you're only about a three. That's too crazy. Pretty normal. All right, let's go to one more.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Hello, who's this? How you doing, man? We're going to go with Anonymous. Okay. Anonymous, what happened to you, bro? It actually happened to me. It happened to my man, El Boogie. So you got it.
Starting point is 00:44:13 You Anonymous. So you remain Anonymous. You put your man nickname out there. Go ahead. Where you from, Anonymous? I'm going to give you from Brooklyn, from Brooklyn. No doubt. El Boogie from Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Good morning. What's happening? Nah, okay. So listen, ex-girlfriend and her friends came, jumped him, chased him
Starting point is 00:44:30 over a text message. He told her something she didn't like about her mother and her mothering skills. So they ran down on him and, you know, shocked him.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Shocked him with what? A taser. A taser. Yeah, they chased him, man. They jumped him, they chased him and he actually, he didn't press charges but he A taser. Yeah, they chased him, man. They jumped him. They chased him. And he actually, he didn't press charges, but he told his father.
Starting point is 00:44:49 So did they stay together? Nah, they didn't stay together. It didn't work out. It didn't work out. After you chase somebody, it's pretty much over after that. Goodness gracious. All right, bro. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:44:56 What's the moral of the story, guys? I don't know the moral of the story. I'm just sitting here thinking about how violent women have been over the years. I remember being in Columbia, South Carolina one time, and Wax was dealing with this young lady who used to work at this bar called 360, and she was working the bar, but he was in there talking to other women, so I went to the bar, and I told her, I said, look at him.
Starting point is 00:45:13 He's in here playing you, talking to all of these other girls, yada, yada, yada. And she said, you know what? You right. And so I saw her coming from behind the bar, so what I did is I went outside, and I sat in the car, right, because I knew it was about to happen. Next thing I know, I see W and I sat in the car, right? Because I knew it was about to happen.
Starting point is 00:45:25 Next thing I know, I see Wax come running out the bar, getting chased by like three women, and I locked the door. Boy, they jumped on his ass outside that car. You're not a good friend. Well, listen, the moral of the story for me is don't go to jail, love, or no good, man. Just think before you act and do anything, because the last thing you want is to be cheated on, to be upset, to be mad at your man and be in jail.
Starting point is 00:45:46 That is true. And my moral of the story is the LGBTQ community need to have a meeting because them first two stories that they called in with was wild. Goodness gracious. All right. Now let's get serious now. Oh, we weren't serious just now? No, we weren't serious. Oh.
Starting point is 00:45:59 When we come back, we're going to have Attorney Benjamin Crump on the phone. Attorney Benjamin Crump. You know, Supreme Court is allowing Flint water lawsuits to move forward. Attorney Ben Crump is one of the attorneys on those cases. Yes, he's representing a couple thousand people. Yep, so he'll fill us in on what's going on in Flint, Michigan. Yep, we'll talk to him when we come back. It's The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 00:46:19 Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, earlier this morning, we were talking about what's going on in Flint on Front Page Notes. You want to give them a brief rundown, Yee? Well, basically, the Supreme Court is allowing Flint, Michigan residents to sue the government over the water crisis. A class action lawsuit.
Starting point is 00:46:38 Right. So we were asking, what happens? Do people sue? Do you bankrupt Flint? How do they make money? And we have somebody on the line. Who's on the line, Charlamagne? My man, attorney Ben Crump. He is actually handling the Flint, Michigan case. He's been out there fighting for Flint for a while. Good brother, Ben. What's happening? Good morning, brother. Hey, how y'all doing, brothers? Angie? We just sitting here. We was talking about it this morning. We know the Supreme Court is allowing Flint water lawsuits to move forward.
Starting point is 00:47:00 You're the attorney on the case, right? I'm one of the attorneys. My law firm represents a couple of thousand Flint citizens. And this is a huge decision, Charlemagne, by the U.S. Supreme Court, because they could have easily ruled the other way. But with this decision allowing the 14th Amendment guarantee to due process for the citizens of Flint, which, as we talked about when I came on the show, is a majority-minority community. It allowed us to have legal redress for these crimes that they committed against our citizens,
Starting point is 00:47:35 because this was a crime. Let's don't ever let them forget about Flint, where they intentionally, I believe, switched to the Flint water, which they knew the river was corroded and contained all kinds of toxins. And this led to lead poisoning of our children. The problem with lead poisoning, it's not so bad for adults, Charlemagne and Angie and Evie, but your children.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Right. Brain development. And so they are building high schools now because they understand in the next 10 to 15 years, there's going to be a large percentage of young people who are mentally retarded, who have attention deficit disorders, and it's directly as a result of lead poisoning that's why when your children if you see a child lifting on the windowsill you immediately take them to the hospital and that's just from one or two times catching them licking on lead poisoning because the scientists
Starting point is 00:48:41 and the doctors know how dangerous that is. Can you imagine for two years people bathing, drinking, cooking with corroded water that was poisoning their children and what impact it's going to have? So this decision is huge. We still have about 40,000 people who are unrepresented, and unfortunately a lot of them are our people because we are so distrustful of the system. And that's why I've been to Flint over the last three years about 20 times arguing that, you all, we can't be left out because it's going to have an effect on your children. You might not see it today, but the science tells us that it's going
Starting point is 00:49:25 to impact their brain development. And so what you don't see today, you will see it in 10, 15 years. And we know when black people have mental issues, they don't treat them like mental issues. That's right. They treat them like criminal issues. Absolutely. And that's, you know, that's why we're fighting so hard out here. Well, Attorney Crump, I heard that Flint, Michigan has an insurance policy. Because I was wondering, you know, how these people are going to get paid.
Starting point is 00:49:47 You know, how much will they get paid? But I'm hearing that they have an insurance policy on Flint. Or do they bankrupt the city? How does that work? Good question. Absolutely. They have monies and insurance set aside between the state and the city and the federal components who were supplying this water. And you've got to remember, this was the emergency managers who made this decision, the state of Michigan, who are never going to go bankrupt.
Starting point is 00:50:13 They got billions of dollars. Just remember this, y'all, we got to fight that they respect black lives, because if this would have happened in a more affluent community like a suburb community or beverly hills or any affluent community they would be talking about billions of dollars we're still dealing with hundreds of millions of dollars but it would be billions of dollars if these were little white children right that were going to be mentally retarded. And nobody went to jail, Charlemagne, as we talked about with my book Legalized Genocide. They poisoned the community and nobody went to jail. And remember, every time they locked us up for selling marijuana or crack and so forth,
Starting point is 00:50:58 what did the judge and the prosecutor say? They said it was because we had to send a message. We had to be tough on crime because they were poisoning the community. Now we come to Flint, Michigan, where a whole community was poisoned and not one damn person went to jail. And people knew about it for quite some time. Is this a case where the lawyer's going to get rich, but the resident's going to end up with just $40? I promise you that won't happen with any of my clients. And man, my clients will come on and talk to the Breakfast Club
Starting point is 00:51:27 about it. Because I do think it's going to be a very important settlement because we got to look out not just for individuals. We got to look out for the whole community. We got to make sure they have special teachers who can deal with these young people who are going to be mentally retarded. And remember
Starting point is 00:51:44 this, Charlemagne. New Jersey has a Flint water crisis issue. Yes, sir. I do. Maryland has a Flint water crisis issue. In Louisiana and California, there's a Flint in every state. Right. And poor brown and black communities that we can never let them sweep under the rug or marginalize.
Starting point is 00:52:03 And so I'm going to keep yelling with every influence I have, never forget about Flint because this could be your child too. Let's set an example in Flint. Thank you for calling, Attorney Crump. That's right. And let us know if you need anything from us, man. We're here for you. Yeah, love to have you back up.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Appreciate y'all. All right, my brother. I appreciate y'all for getting the word out. Thank y'all. Thank you. That was Attorney Benjamin Crump. Now, when we come back, we got rumors. What are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:52:26 Yes, we are going to be talking about Oprah and why she decided to step away from Russell Simmons and that documentary. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:52:38 What are we doing? Oh, morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to these rumors. Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Nipsey Hussle. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Starting point is 00:52:57 We'll get ready for the Grammys because there will be a tribute performance, and that's for Nipsey Hussle. And so far what we know is that will feature Meek Mill, YG, Roddy Ricch, DJ Khaled, Kirk Franklin, John Legend, and more. So make sure you all tune in for that. Can't wait to see it. All right. All right.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Now, Oprah, we know she's decided to step away from that Russell Simmons documentary, but she wants to make it very clear that that does not mean that it's a victory for Russell Simmons. She was on CBS this morning, and here's what she had to say about pulling out of that documentary. It was a hard decision because I knew that Russell Simmons had started publicly pressuring me and that me pulling out of the documentary was going to look like I was being pressured. And so before the public pressure had started, before Russell had gone with his Instagram, I had gone to the filmmakers and I had said to them, I think we need to pull out of Sundance. And if we can't pull out of Sundance, I'm going to have to take my name off. You should pull out of Sundance so we can get it right.
Starting point is 00:54:08 And I think there's some inconsistencies in the stories that we need to look at. I said that yesterday, though. Russell Simmons can't pressure Oprah. First of all, explaining your side of the story and asking Oprah not to run with what you think is lies is not pressuring her. But furthermore, Oprah Winfrey is one of the most powerful figures in the country. Russell can't pressure Oprah. Oprah reduced him to a noun. And, you know, a lot of people were going in on Oprah, though. And here's what she had to say about some of the changes.
Starting point is 00:54:33 I believe that the women's voices deserve to be heard. And as an executive producer, I also was in a position where I thought some things were not right. I wanted the context of the story to be broadened. I wanted more women brought into the story. So I was asking for changes. And let me just say this. I've been an executive producer since the beginning of the Oprah show. And there were many times when, you know, people are saying, what's the timeline?
Starting point is 00:54:59 Until the thing is on the screen, you have the right to change your mind and make changes. It sounds like to me, and this is just maybe to me, that she knew that if she put this out and it wasn't right, she was going to get tons of lawsuits. So she just wants to make it right. That's how you should be. You shouldn't measure twice to cut once. But she wants to be clear that it's not that she doesn't believe these women. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:19 And it's not that she is now saying, OK, this is my support of Russell Simmons. Right. Here's more of Oprah on CBS this morning. Some people have perceived this as a victory for Russell. This is not a victory for Russell, and I unequivocally say that I did not pull out because of Russell. I cannot be silenced by a Russell Simmons after all I've been through. But, Oprah, it struck me as odd that some would accuse you
Starting point is 00:55:45 of not standing up for women, and black women in particular. I know. To me, that is ridiculous, and also ridiculous to think that I could be intimidated by Russell Simmons. Oprah reduced him to a noun. She said, a Russell Simmons. You think I could be pressured by a Russell Simmons? Does that sound like a person who's afraid of being pressured? Stop it, man.
Starting point is 00:56:02 And Oprah's also clear. She said, I've lived me too since I was nine. And I was raped at nine, sexually assaulted from nine to 14, and then raped again at 14. So she said, nothing is harder than standing up for yourself when you're 14 and not being believed. And I was not believed by my own family. So I stand in
Starting point is 00:56:17 support of these women. I believe them. She did say it was, she did see a lot of inconsistencies in one of their stories, though, which she wanted filled in. Right, and she wanted more women to come and be brought into the story also, and she wanted to make sure that she got it right. So I can understand wanting to have as much research as possible, as many voices as possible for your story.
Starting point is 00:56:36 I wonder if there's anything deeper with Oprah and Russell, though, because I was thinking about this last night. Remember when Oprah backed President Obama back in the day, and it's like all the prominent black people fell in line? One of the prominent black people who didn't fall in line was Russell Simmons because he was back in Hillary Clinton. I wonder if they have a little tension because of that. Could be. I wonder.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Or it could be her own, like she said, personal story of what happened to her and the whole Me Too movement and her having her own situations from when she was nine years old might make her feel like this story has to be told. Yeah, but you can't think with your heart. You got to think with your head.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Just because something, you know, happened to you doesn't mean that every, you know, black man in America is doing those type of things. I don't think she said every black man. She's just talking about one in particular who she believes the women. And that's what she wants to make it clear. So, all right, Tekashi69, he was trying to get home confinement, and that's not going to happen. A federal judge denied his motion to serve as 24 months under home confinement. He said that doing the time behind bars is necessary in this case to reflect the seriousness of his crimes.
Starting point is 00:57:36 He said he feared for his life because where he's currently being held is filled with bloods, and he's nervous about that. But I can't imagine that being home is that much safer either. I'm just saying. It'd be a lot safer than, I think, being in there where he can't have protection. I think here he'll have 24-hour security and police officers all around him. What do you mean? He in jail. There's plenty of protection in jail.
Starting point is 00:57:56 You got all the police around. He'll be fine. He work with them, don't he? Yeah. Don't turn your back on your guy now, Mr. Officers. Yeah. Once they know where you live and come there, then what? And he doesn't want to be under any
Starting point is 00:58:07 type of protective custody, like none of that. So his security already said they're not going to be working with him anymore. Yeah, that's their security. I'm sure he could pay somebody to do that. Somebody will take that job. Nobody is trying to put their life for real. Somebody will take that job. I'll be nervous to hire somebody
Starting point is 00:58:24 too because that somebody might be working with those somebodies that want me. It's some ex-Navy SEALs or military veterans or police officers that'll definitely take that job. Question, though. They don't provide you that protection in jail after you snitch? Yeah, I mean, he's in a jail with a bunch of snitches, so they feel that he would be protected, but I wouldn't want to play with that.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Not at all. All right, and they also just put out a picture of snitches. So they feel that he would be protected, but I wouldn't want to play with that. Not at all. All right. And they also just put out a picture of him, a recent picture of him and his girlfriend. So I guess that's recent. All right.
Starting point is 00:58:52 I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right. Thank you, Miss Yee. All right. Now, don't forget, ASCII is coming up in a little bit.
Starting point is 00:58:58 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice or any type of advice you can get on the phone. But next, donkey of the day. Who are you giving that donkey to, Charlemagne? Hey, man, you know I can hear y'all out there right now.
Starting point is 00:59:08 There you go, Charlemagne, talking about black or white again. Well, here's a nice teachable moment for some of you white people. It's a nice teachable moment. This is another example of why you shouldn't use the N-word. All right. That's all. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked.
Starting point is 00:59:21 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumb ass. You get donkey of the day. Yeah, you dumb ass. You are a donkey. It's time for donkey of the day. Donkey of the day, huh?
Starting point is 00:59:36 I'm going to fatten all that shit around your eyes. They want this man to throw them blows, man. They waiting for Charlamagne to tap these 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. I know she is. It's a breakfast club, bitches.
Starting point is 00:59:49 Who's donkey of the day today? Donkey of the day for Wednesday, January 22nd goes to a white battle rapper named William Wolf. Never heard of him before this week, but I'm not into battle rap like that. Okay, I'm only doing this donkey because it is a teachable moment. See, William Wolf is a battle rapper who, for whatever reason, is always trying to justify his use of the N-word. Last month, according to Hip Hop DX, drop on the clues box for Hip Hop DX. I love Hip Hop DX.
Starting point is 01:00:13 My man, Trent Clark, what's happening? According to Hip Hop DX, William Wolfe was battling a rapper by the name of T.D. Berry at the Gates of Garden Battle League, and he addressed the topic of the N-word in a rap. Let's hear it. All this dark skin versus light skin shit. the Gates of Garden Battle League, and he addressed the topic of the N-word in a rap. Let's hear it. All this dark skin versus light skin s**t. What was the point of Brown versus the Board of Education when in modern day y'all dissing kill each other over a slight difference in pigmentation?
Starting point is 01:00:34 But I can't use the N-word in the hood. Well, that's news to me. When he say it, it's a term of endearment. When I say it, that's racist. Cut the foolery. I don't say that s**t in the hood to oppress your people. And that's cool to me. I use that word strictly as a street term to represent the unity.
Starting point is 01:00:49 Okay, let me break this down in a list tongue language. You can understand when Wolf is talking about dark skin, light skin beef. He thinks that we kill and diss each other over pigment. And what's the point of Brown versus Board of Education if we're going to do that? Okay, Brown versus Board of Education was the ruling that made state laws establishing racial segregation unconstitutional. So basically, he's saying, what's the point of being integrated if we're just going to fight and fight amongst each other, all right? Then he said, when black people say it as a term of endearment,
Starting point is 01:01:15 when I say it as racist, cut the foolery. He only uses the N-word as a street term to represent unity. See right then and there, William Wolfe, somebody should have told you to shut the F up forever. As I was playing those clips, our white camera guy, Steve, was just shaking his head like, what the hell is wrong with you? You wasted good white skin. Okay, as LeVar Ball said, stay in your lane. Like, sir, the N-word sadly is a black thing, and you just wouldn't understand.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Do I agree with it being a term of endearment when black people use it and considered racist when white people use it? Yes, I do, because I understand context, and context matters. Do I wish black people, including myself, would just stop using the word altogether because it's a slap in the face to our forefathers? Yes. Okay, all of those things can be true, though. But what I don't need is a white battle rapper chastising me on my culture about it.
Starting point is 01:01:59 Now, William Wolfe is just another in a long line of white people who are willing to die on the hill of the N-word. Why? I don't know. Okay, but he was in a battle rap recently. This rap went viral over Twitter. And he learned a lesson that I think everyone can learn from. Okay, you can say whatever you want. You can use whatever word you want just as long as you're willing to deal with the consequences of your language.
Starting point is 01:02:22 Okay, William Wolfe learned that lesson during his latest rap battle when he tried to take things a step further than he did at the gates of the garden. Let's go to Rick Smoove's Twitter page for the report, please. I leave everybody hanging over your shoulders still. I can old school bump them with the shoulders still or shoulders still. Box him up. You want the David Blaine or the Holyfield? Either way.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Either way. What else? David Blaine, Holyfield. Either way. Either way. What else? It's tragic at the end. David Blaine, Holyfield. I got magic in these hands. I ain't like these other battle rappers. They talk too much. Saying I can't use the N-word in this battle.
Starting point is 01:02:54 My nigga, I just call you. He got punched right in the jaw. Right in the mouth. Soon as he let that N-word fly. Okay. What happened to the magic in the hands? Okay? Too much goddamn mayonnaise.
Starting point is 01:03:10 White people, you got to respect your jaw. Okay? I don't know why it's a term of endearment when black people use it, but racist when white people use it in the exact same context. But it doesn't matter. Okay? Your lack of pigmentation makes all your N-word privileges null and void. Now, listen.
Starting point is 01:03:24 Once again, you can say whatever you want to say, whenever you want to say it, just as long as you're willing to deal with those consequences. But William Wolfe, listen, you are already a tourist in this thing called hip-hop, this thing called battle culture. All of this, all of that is a black art form. You are a guest in that house. Being that you are a guest in that house, respect it. Simple as that. Respect the people in that house. Why would you think that's
Starting point is 01:03:49 okay? Why would you try to push the envelope in that manner? Yes, battle rap is all about saying the most disrespectful thing to your opponent. As a white man, you have to know one of the most disrespectful things you can say to a black man is call him the n-word. So I have to ask, was that your intention if your intention was that level of historical ancestral disrespect well then it's no secret why you got that disrespect returned immediately okay look white people i'm just trying to assist you here all right i know michelle obama says when they go low we go high but some people when you go low they're gonna take it to your jaw all? And that's exactly what happened to William.
Starting point is 01:04:27 Please let Remy Ma give William Wolfe the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother-----, you dumb. What's even worse is you just was talking about how magic your hands are. You just said you can get the blame of the Holyfield. What happened to the hand action? Once that fist connected to your jaw. You never seen it coming.
Starting point is 01:04:45 Respect your jaw, King. All right, well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Up next, Ask Yee. 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice. Any type of advice, hit Yee now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. What, what, what, what, what, what you want to know?
Starting point is 01:05:00 Baby mama issues? Need some words of wisdom? Call up now for Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. The Breakfast Club. Come on, Ma. Need relationship advice? Need personal advice? Just need real advice.
Starting point is 01:05:15 Call up now for Ask Ye. Eat the bread. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. It's time for Ask Yee. Hello, who's this? I'm not.
Starting point is 01:05:28 Okay, what's your question for Yee? Okay, my situation is this. I have a family member who has said and done some things that are really irking me. I can give a few examples. Like, there are some things that happened in my past that for most people it would have broke them. But instead it built me and made me better. The family member is telling just people who they just meet, telling them things about me, trying to make me look bad. And then there's been a couple of times when I've overheard conversations where they're saying things that I find extremely disrespectful. One conversation was with my significant other
Starting point is 01:06:08 where they told him that for their birthday, they wanted lingerie and to get on a stripper pole. What? Exactly. So my significant other is like, just keep me out of it. Don't say anything. I don't want to cause any problems. When I say I have been a good person to this person, I have fought people for them.
Starting point is 01:06:29 I have pawned things for them. I have literally sold my only vehicle to get the lights put on in the house for them. And it's to the point where I can't keep holding it in, and I want to punch them in the face. And I'm trying to figure out if I should just punch them in the face or just what to do because I'm trying to be a better person, but sometimes it's that one person's ass you got to kick one good time and then give it to God. And I'm trying to figure out if I should just give it to God or whoop their ass and then give it to God.
Starting point is 01:06:59 Okay, Anonymous, why are you holding this all in? Why haven't you said anything? Because I'm being told, oh, don't start conflict. No, first of all, uh-uh. You know what's starting conflict? You not saying anything, and now you want to punch this person in the face. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:07:16 That's the real conflict. What you need to do is speak to this person, tell them what you know. I don't care who your significant other shouldn't have a problem with you going back and saying something that that person told him, okay? Because that is your significant other
Starting point is 01:07:32 and that person needs to know anything you say to my boo is getting back to me regardless. So you say it to him, it's like saying it to me. So there should be no problem with you going back and saying you did this, I didn't appreciate that, I don't appreciate this. And I want to know what is your issue with me?
Starting point is 01:07:50 Because people do what they feel like they can get away with sometimes. Thank you. Because when I told him that, he was like, well, how does she feel like she's getting over? I was like, if I know these things that she has said, and it's not just to him. It's things that she said to other family members. It's things that she said to people that she doesn't even realize I know. And they are coming back and I know these people
Starting point is 01:08:09 I would tell it all. I would be like, I know you said this. I know you said this. And I just want to say, first of all, I do believe that when somebody shows you
Starting point is 01:08:17 who you are, who they are, you should believe them. So that should also dictate how you deal with this person moving forward because that doesn't sound like somebody you can trust. But they need to know that you know. And you deal with this person moving forward because that doesn't sound like somebody you can trust,
Starting point is 01:08:25 but they need to know that you know, and you need to hold them accountable for that, and you need to sit there in their face, look them in the eye, and confront them about these things because you will end up punching them in the face. Question. Like you said, confront them and let them know. If they deny it, and like I said, I have heard with my own ears.
Starting point is 01:08:42 Well, then, listen, you can't deny something. They can't deny something you heard. They can try it, but you heard what it is. Well, then, listen, you can't deny something. They can't deny something you heard. They can try it, but you know what it is already. And if they deny it, that's somebody you have to cut off and not deal with. Don't punch anybody. No, do not punch anybody in the face. But I think, you know what hurts more than physical contact? Cutting somebody off.
Starting point is 01:09:00 Cutting them off from everything you have going on. Making sure they don't know anything about you. They can't talk to your significant other. They can't come around you. They can't be around you. Because when people talk ish about you, that's more of a reflection on them than it is on you. Okay. So I'm going to try your way, but I might renege.
Starting point is 01:09:19 All right. Thank you. Go ahead. You can't let that build up like that. All right. Ask Yee. ahead. You can't let that build up like that. All right. Ask Yee. 800-585-1051. If you got a question for Yee, call her now.
Starting point is 01:09:29 It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. C-J-N-V-Angela Yee. Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of Ask Yee. Hello. Who's this?
Starting point is 01:09:37 Hi. This is Yee. Hey, what's your question for Yee? Okay. So my question is, I have a father that I haven't spoken to since last Easter. It's a whole long story, a bunch of drama with his wife. And I just met him like two years ago. Like, I was 26 when I met him.
Starting point is 01:09:54 He knew about me when I was a baby, told nobody. And the last time I heard from him was New Year's. He texted and said, Happy New Year. Only because I called him on Christmas. He answered twice. I mean, he answered. I called twice. And he texted, Happy New Year.
Starting point is 01:10:11 I texted back, wanted to meet up with him. He said nothing. So I'm wondering, am I wrong for not speaking to him because he's allowing his wife to come between our bonds? I was just saying, I just want him to understand how much hurt I'm carrying. I'm 28 years old with kids of my own. Like, they let my kids get involved in everything. And I haven't been able to, like, get my point across because I can't talk to him by himself and let him know
Starting point is 01:10:32 because his wife is always there. You want to hear something crazy? Somebody I know is going through this exact same situation. She just found her real father. And it was maybe like a year and a half ago. And she's having a similar problem with the wife. And the wife is basically blocking everything. She doesn't want them to communicate.
Starting point is 01:10:50 If she's not involved, she doesn't want them to see each other. She's jealous. She doesn't want us to be like alone. Yeah. And like every time I make plans, she cuts them off. So she created this whole giant problem.
Starting point is 01:11:01 Like I met my real sisters and everything. And it's like, because I'm going to be close to my dad, it's an issue. So I got called disrespectful, and I was doing all this stuff to break their family up just because I was asking him,
Starting point is 01:11:14 can we spend time alone to get to know each other? Can we just go for a walk in the park? Like, you don't got to spend your money. You know what's crazy? And then the wife is concerned that she's trying to get in on the will. Yeah, I don't know about that.
Starting point is 01:11:26 I just feel like it's more so like she's looking at me as if I'm another woman instead of his daughter. Yeah, she's jealous. She's probably, you know, insecure that somebody that is a part of a previous situation that he had that has nothing to do with her is now in his life. And that he's giving attention to another woman and she's not used to it and she is seem it seems like she's a little bit jealous now i am sensitive to the fact that this is news to her as well right this isn't something that she knew about all this time i think so i don't think he told her right so that's on him so the fact that this is something that is probably causing issues in their relationship also is something that on your end you can take into consideration.
Starting point is 01:12:09 But I think it's extremely selfish of her, you know, because she hasn't come to terms with this herself to put you in that position. But unfortunately, you can't force him to do the right thing. All you can do is. And that's what I was wondering. Like, should I be? Am I wrong for not contacting him because he is my dad and I should be speaking to my parents? You know, you put it out there, you've contacted him,
Starting point is 01:12:31 and you've done what you could do. If he's not willing to make those steps, you can't ever force somebody to make those steps. All you can do is continue to have whatever light contact that you do, and when he feels like he's ready to make that, you know, you've expressed it to him, you've put it out there. If he's not reacting, I don't know what more that you do, and when he feels like he's ready to make that, you know, you've expressed it to him, you've put it out there.
Starting point is 01:12:46 If he's not reacting, I don't know what more you can do, and I can understand how psychologically this would affect you, you know? Like, I felt like a whole child. Like, I'm 28 years old, and I literally, like, everything I do in my life with my kids,
Starting point is 01:13:00 my relationship, everything gets so affected by it because I'm so hurt and angry. Rightfully so. Because I'm holding this on. Yeah, right. I don't know what else to do. Rightfully so. And, you know, thank God for you that you have your own amazing family that you managed to really, you know, maintain
Starting point is 01:13:16 yourself and be a great positive role model for them. But I think there's just a lot of things going on with him and his, and I wouldn't even if I were you, maybe it would be worth it trying to have a conversation even with his wife to let her know look I'm not trying to do this I just put it out there when he's ready to speak to me that's fine but I just want to let you know I'm not trying to be any type of financial thing this is just if you were in a similar situation I'm sure you would want to know who your father is your kids
Starting point is 01:13:42 know who their father is and know him and I had a chance to spend time with him you know I'm sure you would want to know who your father is. Your kids know who their father is and know him and have had a chance to spend time with him. You know, I'm grown. I have my own family. And it would mean a lot to me. But if you have an issue with it and he has an issue with it, I can't force it. But I'm just saying it would be, you know, amazing for me and for everything that I have going on if I was able to somewhat build this bond. And that's all you can do is put it out there. Right. Well,
Starting point is 01:14:06 thank you. I just needed some insight on that because it's been eating me. And you know, I think for yourself, it wouldn't hurt for you to go see a therapist either just about these things so you can come to terms with the feelings that you're having and be able to express them to someone. Right. Well, thank you
Starting point is 01:14:22 for your advice. I really appreciate it. Okay. Good luck. I hope that he comes around. And maybe it'll just take a little time. Yeah, I feel like 28 years is a long damn time. No, it is, it is. But this is a newer situation. So sometimes you got to like let some of that, you know, go to listen to where he's coming from.
Starting point is 01:14:39 And not that it's right at all. But, I mean, there's nothing right about it. Right, right. Well, thank you for your time. All right, honey. All right, ask Yee, 800-585-1051 if you need relationship advice
Starting point is 01:14:51 or any type of advice, you can hit Yee. Or helpmeyee at gmail.com. All right, now we got rumors on the way. Yes, we are going to be talking about 50 Cent and Power. If y'all have been keeping up,
Starting point is 01:15:01 then you know that 50 Cent has apparently leaked some video footage. I don't know if this is a publicity stunt or if this is really who killed Ghost, but we'll give you some updates. Alright, we'll get into that next. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Starting point is 01:15:17 It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Talk to them. This is the rumor report. Talk to them. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. So, it's official. Diddy has changed his name legally. Now, he did petition to do this last year,
Starting point is 01:15:35 and the judge signed off on this yesterday. So, his name now is Sean Love Combs. So, that's his middle name, Love. Brother Love. Sean Loves Combs. You have to always have hair with a name like that. Not Loves. Sean Love Combs. Oh that's his middle name, Love. Brother Love. Sean Loves Combs. You have to always have hair with a name like that. Not Loves. Sean Love Combs.
Starting point is 01:15:48 Oh, Sean. Same thing. No, it's not. Sean Love Combs. So you always got to have hair with a name like that. Oh, my goodness. I'm serious. You always.
Starting point is 01:15:56 Sean Love Combs. Go ahead, you. So he's just filled with love. Sean Love Combs. No matter what. Now, 50 Cent shared some power spoilers. He was upset, I guess, at stars. Or this all could be marketing, right?
Starting point is 01:16:07 Of course. And he posted, these people at stars bugging out, talking to me like they crazy. Like I ain't who I am. They got me effed up. I will put all this ish out tonight. And then I'm not going to tell you what video he posted in case you haven't seen it. But I was thinking about it. And they did say that they filmed multiple different endings
Starting point is 01:16:25 just in case anything got leaked. 50 said that. He deleted that post and then he posted that same article from Courtney Kemp saying that exact same thing. Yeah, 50's not dumb. 50's not going to cut his nose off to spite his face. Because the higher those ratings are, that works for him and all the other
Starting point is 01:16:41 TV production he's trying to do. People have been sharing, by the way, the last two episodes. So I don't know if those are the real endings or what. All right. J. Cole, he has just spoken about being tired about rapping about himself and how that all happened. He was on a panel for MLK Now, and he was just recalling getting the book,
Starting point is 01:17:02 The New Jim Crow Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness. And he said everything he was reading reflected the injustices that he was observing in everyday life. So here's what J. Cole had to say. My homeboy Adam, who came through the night, gave me The New Jim Crow. He gave me that book in like 20, I don't know, maybe like 2015 or something. And it happened to coincide with a time, it was after the Forest Hill Drive album, with a time in my life where I was just tired of like rapping by myself what was interesting was like i had just moved back home like uh from new york back to carolina and it was like i had a
Starting point is 01:17:34 whole different perspective of the landscape and some of my friends in the situations that like the revolving door like had some of them in i'm just like oh man so that tour was a product of that album which was a product of that album, which was a product of that book and just a desire to like, okay, let me use this platform to tell these stories. Right. So instead of talking about himself, he wanted to make sure that he talked about what was going on in society.
Starting point is 01:17:56 Now Jordan Peele is bringing Jim Crow South to life again in a new HBO drama series. It's called Lovecraft Country. And it's a one hour drama. It's based oncraft Country. And it's a one-hour drama. It's based on a 2016 novel by Matt Ruff, which follows Atticus Black as he joins his friend
Starting point is 01:18:11 Letitia and his uncle George to embark on a road trip across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father. So you get to see what that was like, and that's going to be coming to HBO if you're interested. That sounds good to me. I'll be watching that. I don't know if you guys saw this, but Adrian Broner,
Starting point is 01:18:28 it looks like things aren't going so well for him. And he posted on his Instagram. I'm sorry. I haven't been posting on social media, but I'm going through some tough times at this moment. If you can send me $10 on cash app, I will appreciate it. And he posted his cash app as well. Was that a joke?
Starting point is 01:18:43 Is he playing? I don't know. I can't say. Appreciate it. And he posted his Cash App as well. Was that a joke? Is he playing? I don't know. I can't say. But if anybody wants to Cash App him $10. Nah. I would love to know how much he made, though. Yeah, I thought he just made a couple million when that last fight he did.
Starting point is 01:19:00 I would love to know when people see, you know, guys like him in those positions, do they help out? Because, you know, he's the guy that's balling on Instagram, always stunting on people. Do you have empathy for people like that if they are in that position? Which I don't think he is. You still have empathy for people, though. Maybe if you're a fan of his, you're giving him $10. Yeah, you do, because, you know,
Starting point is 01:19:14 a lot of times we don't know how to invest. We don't know what to do. We see, if you don't learn, how do you teach yourself? Yeah, but he... If you never see it before, you know? A.B. stunts on people on the gram. In a hard, hard, hard way.
Starting point is 01:19:26 So you saw somebody like him go broke, would you really come to his aid with money? Nah. Exactly. Well, y'all aren't cool with him like that, though. So maybe people that are really tight with him or supportive. But he's asking the general public. Yeah. But I'm saying if somebody's a fan of his, too, maybe they'll give him $10.
Starting point is 01:19:42 He might be looking at it like, if 500 people give me $10. Listen, maybe. You just can't stunt on people like that, man. Kim Kardashian, she was on Jay Leno and she actually, well, when she was on Jay Leno, he's actually the one, I don't know if you know this, they came up with a name for their daughter, Northwest.
Starting point is 01:20:00 And she was having a conversation with him and that's how it even happened. Here's what she said when she was talking to Kylie about it. Norris took me like a week to name her. But I actually got it from Jay Leno, who made that as a joke. And you liked it? I was like, no way. I would never name my daughter that.
Starting point is 01:20:21 Like I said that on his show. Everyone was coming up to me like, it's such a cool name. You should really think about it. And then Pharrell had like all these meanings. So that's how Northwest got her name. She actually went through how they named each of their kids also. So that bum-ass airline don't get no credit? Southwest? All you did is change the direction?
Starting point is 01:20:38 No, Southwest doesn't get credit. Not at all. Alright, Meghan Markle's already upset about paparazzi in Canada. She was hiking. She was hiking. Didn't I just tell you I was... Yeah, she was hiking, and the paparazzi got pictures of her
Starting point is 01:20:51 and her son Archie hiking, and they did fire off a cease and desist letter to British, well, previously to British media outlets. Now they're trying to do cease and desist letters for what's happening in Canada, but the laws aren't as strict in Canada as they are in the UK. I said this earlier this week. Like, and wait till they come to America and they start getting.
Starting point is 01:21:13 It's going to be a lot worse. I got rasped by paparazzi. Like, everybody and their mama is going to be stalking them every day because they're going to want to see how common they are really living. It's only going to get worse for y'all. Yeah. Now, she was in a public park at the time, so it doesn't look like she has any basis for a lawsuit. But what they did say is that you took that picture
Starting point is 01:21:32 with one of those telephoto lenses, and that could potentially mean you had an expectation of privacy. I don't know. So that's the only way they could possibly make that happen. Don't waste your time. Don't waste your energy, Megan. Y'all about to drive y'allself crazy trying to fight paparazzi. All right.
