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

their stories, their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together.

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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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?
Bullets.
Bullet holes.
We need help!
We need help!
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.

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?

What's up, 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.
Nemanee 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 is 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.
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.
It's your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
We still have the off-road portion to go.

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.

Hey, y'all.
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.

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.
Check it. Get the kids in your life excited about history by tuning in to Historical Records.

The Rumor Report.
Gossip, gossip.
With Angela Yee.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
And you pepper sprayed him?
Mm-hmm.
In the face?
Yeah.
Paying him back?
Had no problem with it either.
Wow.
Wow.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Good morning.
What's happening?
Nah, okay.
So listen,
ex-girlfriend
and her friends came,
jumped him,
chased him
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
I'm Angela Yee,
and that is your rumor report.
All right.
Thank you, Miss Yee.
All right.

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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Respect your jaw, King.
All right, well, thank you for that donkey of the day.

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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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
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
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,
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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,
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
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.
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
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,
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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.
I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
All right.
