Corey!
Hey, what's going on, man?
What's up, bro? Get it off your chest, man.
Hey, man, I just got a problem.
Every time I live, I'm in Atlanta right now, and I'm back down here.
My wife is soon to be divorced down here.
And I got a girlfriend. We got a new baby.
I got three with my wife.
And, you know, I always get the kids every weekend.
And when she bring them over, like, they get the whole house sick.
Like, I never complain about it.
I just go out in the medicine and just do what I need to do.
But this time she gets home and she calls me and tells me my oldest daughter got a rash.
Well, she's being really mean about it.
So I'm like, all right, well, she didn't have one when I brought her over.
But I used dog soap.
She's trying to figure it out.
And I'm like, but, you know, she's sick again.
Like, every time they get over here, I got a nine-month-old baby.
You know, she's not as strong as them.
They get her sick, and she just started flipping out.
Like, I don't know what her problem is, man.
She just got negative energy.
And that always causes me and my new girl, you know,
we get to arguing about that.
Yeah, that's annoying.
Yeah, it is, man.
It's like, I really, like, she's making it real hard to be a dad,
man. She's like, I done went two years
without talking to my kids before, you know?
Just because of my relationship with her.
I just need to talk to somebody about it,
man. You just wanted to vent about it, I understand.
And it's important for you and your relationship,
for you and your girl to really have a united
front when it comes to these things so that you guys
don't end up arguing with each other over your frustrations.
We can't even have a conversation. It's like, we have a conversation, that's what it gets to, and so that you guys don't end up arguing with each other over your frustrations we can't even have a conversation it's like we have a conversation that's what it
gets to and like i'm over it i got a girlfriend she got a guy is i don't know how we always
wind up arguing i tell her we don't have a need to argue anymore like it's like you know we could
be cool we just be cool and not maybe it's because i didn't get the divorce yet but you know that's
not something that happens overnight.
Like, I'm trying.
Okay.
Well, yeah, work on that.
All right, bro.
I appreciate it.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, hey, Merry Christmas.
Breakfast Club.
What's up?
It's Sean Kian, Stample, Florida.
How's everyone doing?
How you doing, brother?
Hey, man, blessed.
Hey, all three of you, I want to say something.
You guys, I have a question and a statement,
and I would like your input on the question.
So the statement is, everyone, at least for one month
or at least the holiday season, like, get rid of pessimism.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, so many people are ungrateful and not appreciative enough.
You know?
With that being said, I have a question.
I'm just going to throw it out there.
With you guys being the number one, you know,
with you guys being the last person, stations, who give you guys being the last per station to give 6'9",
his potential last interview of his life,
how does that make, like, Charlamagne, your input,
especially, like, because you always try to give this young man advice,
but he was going to listen to who he was going to listen to.
What do you guys think about that?
Like, you know what I mean?
Because it goes through your mind, I'm sure.
I don't think about it, to be honest with you.
I mean, God bless 6ix9ine, but he's just another individual who you tell the truth to,
and people will call you a hater for it.
People will tell you that, you know, they'll say you're being negative for it.
But in the end, the truth always reveals itself.
And, I mean, we're looking at the truth right now, him being in jail.
Yeah, thanks, guys.
Also, I love your jacket, bro.
You had a hoodie on the other day
that said, I was watching on YouTube, and it said
One Race, and it had all different
shades of brown,
black, white, and it said One Race.
It said Human Race.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Rest in peace, XXXTentacion.
Y'all have a wonderful
holiday season. You as well, bro.
Salute to my dudes, Black Tag Apparel, too.
They make that hoodie, man. Black on company.
Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
It's your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed,
we want to hear from you
on the Breakfast Club.
What's up, Brian? Get it off your chest.
Yeah, man. I took this girl down to the Poconos,
the soap hazing, man, for the weekend.
Nice.
She said she don't feel comfortable the first night for me and her to sleep in the same bed.
Okay.
You know what I did?
Because all the situations that's going on nowadays, I just be like, you know what?
I'll be right back.
I'm going to go get another room.
I take my bag, kindly put it in my car, drove off, left her there.
You know what I'm saying?
That's so rude.
When she find out that I left her there, she called me.
And I said, yo, just call one of your girlfriends,
tell them to come up and y'all could enjoy the rest of y'all stay together.
You know what I'm saying?
You sound like you're from Brooklyn.
Yeah, you sound like you got an attitude because of that.
I'm from the Bronx.
But guess what?
Guess what?
It's funny because a year before, I met one of her friends in Jamaica.
You know what I'm saying?
And it was easy to go down just like that.
So I'm spending all this money, and you're telling me you don't feel comfortable?
I'm just going to leave you there.
Goodbye.
You know what I'm saying?
Listen, she was trying to spend some time with you to see if she would like you enough to do that.
What's wrong with that?
That's kind of foul, bro.
That's real foul.
Nah, man.
These cats not even taking these girls
nowhere nowadays.
I'm spending
all that money.
My brother,
just because you
spend money
on a young lady
and take her
somewhere does
not mean that
you are guaranteed
the poom poom,
sir.
Charlemagne,
I'm Jamaican.
I need that pooms
right once I
find that bread.
Well, I say
that she made
the right move
then.
Did you at least
get one of those
rooms with the
champagne glass
you could take
a bath in?
Of course.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
I'm trying to tell you.
Yo, can we go down there for the weekend, me and you?
Hell no.
Because you're definitely going to leave.
You know what?
Yes, you'll definitely be leaving me.
Yeah, let's do it.
Let's get a big suite.
And then when you leave, I can invite my real boyfriend.
Oh, really?
You know I'm Jamaican.
Don't do that.
You're lame, bro, man.
You're real lame.
Now, I do agree.
I would much rather him leave than, you know, do
something stupid. You know what I'm saying?
But, you know. Listen, she dodged a bullet.
That much of Uber is from the Bronx to the Poconos?
It has to be at least $250.
Hello, who's this? Hey, y'all.
It's me, Salem. Hey, Envy.
Salem, good morning. Hey, Salem.
Hey, Salem. Hey, y'all.
I'm just, I just want to get off my chest.

She's pissing me off, you guys.
And she's making my morning so stressful.
And she's right there.
Put her on the phone.

It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us, we were talking about Chloe and Tristan and their mess.
And listen, I think I'm going to tell you my story.
The craziest way I caught my boyfriend cheating on me, it was his birthday.
He was at work and he was at my house the night before.
So after work, he was coming and we were going to to dinner, and I had planned all this stuff for him. So I go on my computer to go Google the address of where we were going for dinner
just so I could make sure I had the directions and everything.
He left his email up.
He left his Gmail open.
Oh, boy.
So I was like, should I look at it?
And then I was like, I'll just take a little peek.
And then I saw all kinds of stuff on there,
vacations that he went on with some girl that he worked with.
I saw pictures of him in the hot tub with another girl.
It was on his birthday, too.
And it was his 30th birthday, so it was kind of a big deal.
But I was very calm about it.
First, I sent all the emails to myself,
and then I changed his password and logged out,
and then I called him and I said,
we're not going to dinner anymore.
And he was like, what's the problem?
Is everything okay?
And then I forwarded him to his phone,
screenshots of everything, and he couldn't get back in his email, so he was devastated. what's the problem? Is everything okay? And then I forwarded him to his phone screenshots of everything
and he couldn't get back in his email
so he was devastated.
Damn it, man.
You know he only got one 30th birthday though.
Yeah.
I'm just joking.
Call one of them other bitches.
Oh, damn, yeah.
Sorry.
All right.
Let's go to the phone line.
What you mean let's go to the phone?
We got two other people in this room
that want to talk about this topic.
What you mean?
I told them myself.
What about you, sir?
Well, you know I'm an African-American male
and as an African-American male,
I don't cheat.
Okay, I rebuke Satan in all his wicked ways.
And when I see these wicked Canadians in our country cheating, being nasty,
while their pregnant woman is somewhere minding her business,
I'm disgusted and reminded of why I'm a proud member of the FMC,
which is the Faithful Male Community.
Okay?
But before that, how did you get caught?
I don't know anything about that.
When your wife cheated on you before you told us that, how did you catch up? I don't remember. All right. When your wife cheated on you before you told us that,
how did you catch up?
I don't remember.
All right.
I don't know why he wanted to participate in this conversation.
Let's go to the phones.
I can tell you the dumbest way you could get caught cheating.
How's that?
By being on the radio talking about the dumbest ways you got caught cheating.
I think it was in the past.
We already know because you already got caught.
Well, there you go.
I'm minding my business.
Hello, who's this?
D, like David D.
Okay, David D.
Now, what's the craziest way, what's the dumbest way you found your man cheating?
Well, it wasn't that I found him cheating.
He found myself cheating.
Woo!
How'd he catch you?
We were asleep one night, and we were at his mom's house actually visiting,
and we were sleeping.
And by 3 o'clock in the morning, I wake up to him with my phone in my face
with a picture of a d*** on it.
You can say penis.
Okay, so you woke up with a digital D in your face.
All right.
Did you recognize this penis?
So I knew who the penis belonged to.
True.
It belonged to a person that I had cheated with.
But that doesn't mean you cheated just because you had a picture of a penis.
Was your mouth on it?
Were you in the picture?
No, I wasn't in the picture at all, which doesn't mean I cheated,
which I still to this day say I never cheated.
Right.
I mean, that's an easy one to slide out of.
That's not an easy one to slide out of because I want to know who this man is
that feels so comfortable enough to send you D-pics.
See, when you tell one lie, you got to tell another lie to cover that one up.
So who is this guy that feels so comfortable to send you D-pics in the middle of the night?
Well, he was a friend of mine that I haven't known for a very long time.
Not anymore?
Was it a good picture?
Yes, it was.
I think he was more mad because the guy was more in doubt.
Oh, man.
No, he was mad because you was cheating on him.
What's wrong with y'all?
Are y'all silly?
He was mad the penis was better.
He was mad because you was cheating on him.
And this guy felt comfortable enough to send you D-pics in the middle of the night.
That's why he was mad.
My goodness.
800-585-1051.
Have you ever got caught cheating?
What's the dumbest way you got caught, I should say?
Ladies, call us up.
Fellas, call us up.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Hey, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just join us, we're talking Tristan and Khloe and their mess.
And we're just asking,
what's the dumbest way that you got caught cheating?
Now, we got a friend to the room on the line.
Trav, yeah?
Hey, Trav.
What's up, Envy?
Hey, Trav.
I mean, I say hey, Trav.
Hey, yee.
Trav, I know you don't cheat.
Um, I have cheated in my first relationship.
Tell us how you got stuck.
Trav, I can't believe this.
I don't even look at you like that.
I was in my first relationship, yeah, and I actually got caught because I had told
my boyfriend that
I was going to my parents' house
for the weekend, but really
me and my best friend was planning on going to Atlanta.
What's in Atlanta?
You had thought. What's in Atlanta? A bunch of gay men
to cheat with. What the hell are you talking about?
A bunch of gay men was in Atlanta.
So what'd you end up doing?
So me and my best friend
went to Atlanta.
So the whole time
I'm in Atlanta,
he thinks I'm at my parents'.
We live together,
so my parents' house
is like two hours away
from where we live.
So he thought I was
at my parents' house.
So I'm like sending him
pictures of my mom,
from my mom's Facebook
of her sitting at restaurants
telling her mom
with my mom at restaurants.
You did too much.
You look crazy.
So I was at this club,
and I didn't know his best friend was down there,
and he basically saw me and my best friend in the club.
He told my boyfriend that he saw me in the club in Atlanta.
Wow.
Did he end it right there?
No.
No, he didn't end it with me,
but I still ended it with him.
You ain't had no respect for him anyway, Trav, doing all that.
I didn't really like him that much.
My good Trav. You a ho, Trav.
A former ho.
Your name is EZK? Yeah, EZK.
Hey, EZK.
I wish your middle initial was Y.
That'd be dope. No, alright.
EZKY. Alright, EZK. EZK definitely
cheats. No, he called his girlfriend
cheating. Now, explain your story, EZK.
EZKY, definitely.
I'm in the West Age.
So, you know, I'm doing my thing, sliding on POF, thinking I'm all this, whatever.
I get messages from this chick that has no picture.
And I'm like, oh, like, this chick seems too perfect.
Like, even in the back of my head, I'm like, I think it's my chick or whatever.
But I'm like, I fall for the bait, like the catfish.
Then all of a sudden, my phone
just started getting blown up on my girl.
So wait a minute. Your girl made a fake
social media page and you fell
for it and she caught you? Yes.
He did get caught.
That's your dumb ass. Damn it, man. Sorry for you.
That's the oldest chick in the book. Hello, who's this?
Yeah, if you're going to cheat, cheat face to face.
Lottie.
All right, Lottie.
Did you catch your girl cheating or did she catch you cheating?
Man, she caught me cheating, man.
How?
Tell me.
Over my iPad, man.
She told me she needed it to use it.
I can't remember what she wanted to use it for.
And your text message is linked to your iPad.
And you know it.
Rookie.
You know how many people get caught like that?
Yeah, because they're rookies.
You know what's so crazy?
It's a rookie mistake.
You know what I'm saying?
It's a rookie mistake.
All you got to do is put your phone on do not disturb, bro.
Man, Charlamagne, trust me, man.
Trust me.
She caught me in the great state of South Carolina, too.
And you know how they come.
You got swung on?
Man, listen.
Swung on, spit on, all kind of stuff, man.
Listen, guys, whenever you hand your woman your iPhone or your iPad,
always put the phone on do not disturb.
Come on, brothers.
Goodness gracious.
All right.
Now, what's the moral of the story?
But don't old text messages still be on there?
Why would she go through my...
If I'm sitting by you, you're not going to go through my text messages.
I'm sitting right there with you.
She borrowed it.
The moral of the story is never cheat on someone that is good to you
because karma is a bitch. Okay? There you you. She borrowed it. The moral of the story is never cheat on someone that is good to you because karma is a bitch.
Okay?
There you go.
Simple and plain.

All right?
But why not?
Because I ain't getting paid from that no more.
That's 20 years ago.
I just talked about it.
But that's part of your history, though.
That's part of his history.
Part of my history.
Let me tell you what happened.
Let me tell you what happened.
Let me tell you what happened.
Jam Master Jay put both of us on from New York, right?
Boom.
Him and Domination had a problem.
I got Domination some money at Koch Records.
He had a problem with that.
So when I seen it, I didn't even know it was a problem.
He tried to swing on me.
I missed.
Straight up.
He can say what he want to say.
He know what it is.
I ain't got to talk about it.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm not one of these b****es, B.
For real.
Would you guys ever do some type of biography or autobiography on Onyx?
Yeah, it's definitely coming. 20 years of hardcore hip type of biography or autobiography on onyx yeah it's definitely coming 20 years of hardcore hip-hop the autobiography yeah so clearly you got

you in the record.
He said he would beat you up like the white boy on MTV.
And then you said I'd beat him in real life
at the Salsa Wars.
Real beef, you don't even know what real beef is.
You know what I'm saying?
Because you have a job.
So you don't know what real beef is.
I mean, we all come from a certain place, though.
We all come from a certain area.
We all wasn't doing this before.
We all was doing other things before this.
I know what you was doing.
You was working with Woody Williams.
And before that, I was growing up in the streets of South Carolina.
I know your history.
You know mine.
I don't know your history.
We should be talking about what's going in the future, not the past.
It's not only the future.
This is what I'm doing.
I'm bringing it up.
What makes Onyx so great is y'all came from a place where we were there.
But that's what it was, you know, right?
But I think this is our first time having a sit down with Onyx. Exactly. It's the whole generation of people who don't know y'all came from a place where let's keep it let's keep it right but i think this is our first time having a having a sit down exactly it's a whole generation of people who don't know you shouldn't

Breakfast Club. So Fred, we good? No. Yeah, we good. We don't gotta do five minutes or nothing like that? Nah, we good.
Okay. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Why you want to do five minutes?
If that's how you feel. Hey, come on, stop it.
If we did five minutes, we would have been done already. Come on, you guys, stop it. That's enough.
He said I ain't go to the gym yet. It's the Breakfast Club. It's on it.
Eight years. The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy
Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club. We have a special guest
in the building, Vondie Carlo.
Oh, my God. We here already?
I'm so nervous.
I am.
You go on stage and perform. Is that your real name? We're here already. I'm so nervous. No, you're not. You're on the show. You go on stage and perform.
I know.
Is that your real name?
Von DeCarlo?
Von DeCarlo.
My mother names me after Lily Munster.
My last name is Brown, though.
I just don't use Brown.
So Von DeCarlo Brown?
Von DeCarlo Brown.
Von DeCarlo like a double first name.
Okay.
Now let's talk about some of your history.
Okay.
You have this book, Speak Fluent Man.
Yes.
Which has some very interesting, and I'm sure- You read it? We could debate about some of the things that are in this book, Speak Fluent Man. Yes. Which has some very interesting, and I'm sure.
You read it?
We could debate about some of the things that are in this book.
Speak Fluent Man.
But the idea of this book, for you writing this book, was the words of Patrice O'Neill.
So explain that.
Yeah, honestly, it's not something that I like to talk about or debate about.
It's there.
It was a book that Patrice wanted me to write when he was here. So if you're familiar with Patrice O'Neal, he had a lot of different unique out-of-the-box philosophies on relationships.
And he said, you get it.
You know, and women listen to you differently than they listen to me.
So you should write a book.
And at the time I was like, mm-mm.
Because I know what it is.
I know how people would respond to it.
Receive it right.
It would sound more harsh coming from him.
So what would some of the things he would say?
What would some of the things he would say?
If you read the book or if you look at the chapters, I had given him, he said, okay, to appease the situation,
he was like, just tell me the top things that you learned in a relationship with me and going through all these different things.
What are the top things that you would write about?
So I gave him an outline and that became the chapters.
So it's entitlement, double standards, you know, natural order things, jealousy, trust,
sex, all of those things.
All right.
Let me ask Envy a question.
Oh, boy.
Because this is a question that was posed in the book that Patrice O'Neal would pose.
All right.
And I want to see how he would answer this.
And then you can tell him what Patrice had to say.
Now he would ask, ladies, if you lost your pussy in an accident,
how would you keep your man?
Now, how would you think people would respond to that, Envy?
Wow, you're thinking hard.
No, see, you've got to think because it could be a trick question.
I didn't write the book, Envy.
Because if I answer, she'll be like, Envy, you lost your pussy in an accident,
so you've got to back that out first.
Envy, you will never lose your answer.
I'll let you answer and then I'll say yes.
You see where the setup was?
I told you there's a setup coming.
Well, you go ahead and answer.
But I would use a setup question.
I think most men would say their mouth, a woman's mouth.
But for myself, I would think it's just more about being honest and loyal.
In my relationship with my wife. So if your wife lost her, all she would have to do about being honest and loyal in my relationship with my wife.
So if your wife lost her, all she would have to do is be honest and loyal and you'll be good.
My wife, yeah, my wife's honest and loyal now.
So I'll be good regardless.
Well, her doesn't make me stay.
But, you know, it's not the focus of our relationship.
That's going to sound crazy, right?
But it's not the focus of our relationship.
So you could be okay with never having sex again?
If my wife lost
the ass, yes.
He's like, no.
No.
Her mouth works,
her hand works
in honesty and loyalty.
Honestly, it is.
Her mouth, hands,
honesty and loyalty.
It is absolutely
a set up question
and that was one of the things
I would say to Patrice.
You're setting up the audience.
You're setting up women
to fail
because people,
he would pose that question and then they would yell out, my mouth, my
booty, all these different things.
And he would.
I didn't think of the booty.
You didn't think of the booty.
That's interesting.
Yes, he did.
But he would, he would pose that question and then they would yell different things
out, women.
And he would go, see ladies, ladies, you qualified yourself as a series of
holes. You know, you didn't say
Xbox, you didn't say all these, like,
being cool, being loyal, being
like a cool woman.
But that's what he would do. Now talk about
how you guys met. Well, he said
when he first met me, we met on
a set of 25th Hour, Spike Lee's
film. And
he said that I had pretty girl syndrome.
What's that?
He basically was saying, you know, I had an attitude.
And he was inviting everyone to come see him at Caroline's.
And he didn't invite me.
And I was like, well, can I come?
You know, I'm My best ghetto version of myself
at the time and he was like
I guess because I was with my roommate
at the time he was like I guess she was going to bring you
anyway.
What an invitation. I would have wanted to go.
Well the thing
is he had a charm
about him that
you either loved or hated him. There was really
no in between.
And he was basically saying to me,
you have a lot of people telling you you're pretty,
you're this, that, and a third, but no man.
He's like, I can tell you no man has ever taught you anything.
You know?
Damn.
That was charm, but go ahead.
It was, you know, I have a particular taste in men.
But he was coming from a perspective of, I'm going to be your friend.
I'm not going to try to sleep with you.
That was game over.
Yeah.
Everybody says that.
At the time, I didn't see it.
Hindsight, I'm like, I'm going to be the one guy to act like I don't want to be with you.
And that's going to be the guy you like.
I want to make the pretty girl my best friend.
And just so you know,
him ignoring you
was also a ploy for him
to get to your attention.
All of that.
He got me.
He definitely got you.
It worked.
But we didn't have sex
for like almost
within the first year
we had sex.
But it was like
eight, nine months.
It was a long time.
I can't even remember.
But it was a good setup.
He was like,
she's a keeper.
He was marrying you. He was marrying you. Well, he tried. I can't even remember. But it was a good setup. It was a good setup. He was like, she's a keeper. He was marrying you.
He was marrying you.
Well, he tried.
I mean, he died one month before our wedding date, actually.
Wow.
Yeah.
Now, can you find love again?
Because obviously that was your soulmate.
Well, everybody says that, you know, everyone thinks that I can't be with another person.
I didn't say that.
Or, you know, find love again, so to speak.
But I don't believe that.
I believe that lightning can strike twice, of course.
And I deserve it.
Patrice knew he wasn't going to be here a long time.
And I say the way you define love is when you prepare somebody to not be with you.
And that's what he was doing the whole time we were together.
How did Patrice pass for people that don't know?
He had a stroke.
He had a stroke.
He had a stroke, and he passed away November 29, 2011.
Wow, seven years ago.
It feels like it was yesterday.
It does feel like it was yesterday.
But, you know, I don't think that the man that's going to be my husband is going to be intimidated or feel like he'll live in some kind of shadow with me or with Patrice.
Because he'll be strong enough on his own.
And I'm sure Patrice would want you to be happy. Absolutely.
And that's what I mean.
He said to me, he is like, I'm not going to make a mess of you.
Men make a mess of women.
They hurt women.
And then he said no man should ever have to deal with the next man or the last man's mess.
He is like, so the man that is going to be with you after me is going to want to shake my hand.
All right, we got more with Vonda Carla.
When we come back, don't move.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Char back, don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Vonda Carlo is in the building.
Yee?
Now, let's talk about everything you have going on.
Yeah, thank you.
Please get that.
Please get that.
I was actually friends with Patrice also.
If you had the pleasure of knowing him, because I've had him on when I was on Serious.
I had him on my show a few times, and he had always the funniest things to say, and we had a good time.
I remember him and Nori were on together, and he was reading that book Skinny Bitch.
Yes.
To lose weight, and it was just the funniest thing that these men.
Yeah, let me tell you what happened.
They were reading Skinny Bitch to lose weight?
He came home with that book.
He came home with that book, and we were vegan for three years after that.
It changed his perception of food. And we were vegan.
I think that was like, it had to be like 07.
It has early vegan days.
Or oh, I don't know.
Did you stay vegan?
No.
No.
Since he's passed, I gained about 30 pounds.
I've been eating some chicken and shrimp.
And everything.
Donuts, cake.
I have definitely over eight.
But, you know, I'm kind of lucky I'm one of those women.
You look great.
You know, when I complain about my weight, people don't care.
I have a bit about it.
You know, I'm at Caroline's in January.
Yeah, I've seen her at Caroline's.
Yeah.
And I was hosted for Donnell, but I'm going to be headlining there January 15th.
Okay.
And I have a bit where I talk about all the weight gain, but like nobody feels bad for me.
Because the weight fell into a place like all the places that people find attractive.
But I can't breathe.
So I'm like, this is not, no.
Did you feel your calling was stand up before?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
I moved here from small town USA, about 30 miles south of Pittsburgh in a town called Clareton, Pennsylvania.
And when I was younger, I thought I was going to move to New York
and be like Whoopi Goldberg with a splash of Diana Ross, you know?
So comedy was definitely always my first love.
And my first time on stage was before Patrice and I were together.
But I backed out of comedy.
You know, I didn't even tell him I was doing stand-up when we met.
Why did you back out of it?
Well, you know, I was a jack-of-all-trades master of none.
So I was doing comedy, and I didn't tell him at first.
And then when I did tell him, I had done this open mic thing.
It was called Sal's Comedy Hole.
And they would either put a stamp on your hand or a wristband that said you did comedy that night that you paid your drink or whatever.
I left it on.
And he was like, you know, meeting up with him at the cellar and stuff.
That's how you wanted to tell him to leave it on?
I knew he was going to see it.
Yeah.
Like, this is what I'm going to tell him tonight.
You know, and he saw it.
And he goes, what's that?
And I was like, oh, I was just doing a South comedy hole.
And he pulled me away from the infamous comedy cellar table.
He goes, you don't stand up.
That's cool with me.
Teach you anything you need to know.
Rhythm, you know, jokes, whatever.
I got you.
But the very second you look at me, it's like you see how these guys are pointing back at the table.
And he's like, I don't know how long you've been doing it, but I'm assuming you know how audiences are.
The very second you look at me and say, you're my man, why aren't you helping me?
We're breaking up immediately.
Damn.
He's like, you take those bullets yourself, you'll be a great comic.
That's good advice, though.
Damn.
Because I think things like that definitely hurt relationships.
I was like, I could do sketch and improv
and at the time I was getting work
on One Life to Live.
I didn't know.
I was doing other five words. They never contracted
me. They gave me the five more
funky lines.
But at the time,
I thought I was Whoopi or Wayne Brady type where I could be in all these different lanes.
What I didn't know at the time is I am not that unicorn.
Like I have a lot of different talents, but my gift is stand up.
Right. I produce his specials.
Yeah, I produce his three comedy albums. PatriceO'Neal.com, his albums are up
there. And I also produced the music for his Elephant in a Room special on Comedy Central.
I learned a lot from him, you know, and my daughter was really young at the time.
So I was able, I say I put myself third for almost two decades basically. At the time
you know I was trying to do so
much and now I could
focus just on me. Well your boyfriend
have a problem now with you talking about Patrice so much
and him asking you about it so much. Did that ever bother
him at all?
I like how you did that because I never said
I had a boyfriend. I was like wait I thought she just said
she was only dating. I like how
you did that. I like how you did that. And she will find love.
I like how you did that.
Whoever I date and whoever.
Better not have a problem.
He won't.
He won't.
And actually, the person I am seeing now, I'll just say this.
He can relate to that type of loss, which is a blessing.
How did you meet Donnell?
I was booked to work at,
like you know everybody in comedy.
Comedians know comedians.
That's what I asked.
I love Darnell.
Hi, Darnell.
I love Darnell.
I love working with Darnell.
Oh my God.
I learned so much from him.
I saw it.
I see it all.
All the time.
We love Darnell.
Look, so we know each other in passing.
You know, he knows Patrice and the Chappelle show and all of that.
But the first time we officially met and connected,
Levity Live hired me to host at the club.
And he was performing there.
He was headlining.
And he had Marshall Brandon as his feature.
And the club hired me to host.
But when I came in a room, he just looks up and he had Marshall Brandon as his feature, and the club hired me to host. But when I came in a room, he just looks up and he goes,
you a comic?
And I was like, all right, we gonna do this.
I get it, I get it.
Because I have the shadow of Patrice over me.
Yeah, that's a hazing right there.
You know, most comedians get on stage,
they're judged for their work or lack thereof.
For me,
before I even open my mouth,
I got 10,000 things ahead of me,
starting with the Patrice thing,
and then I'm a woman.
I'm a black woman. I'm a voluptuous
woman. It's quote-unquote
pretty. She can't possibly be funny.
But here's the thing.
I'm a comic, period.
First, before and after.
Gotcha.
You know, I have substance in my material.
I'm working towards being in the names of the greatest comedians.
I want to someday be in that list of when they say great comics, they mention my name.
And not in association with Patrice O'Neal, but I stand on my own.
My comedy stands on its own.
All right.
We got more with Vonda Carlo.
When we come back,
don't move.
It's the breakfast club.
Good morning.
Morning,
everybody is DJ Envy.
Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the breakfast club.
Vonda Carlo is in the building.
I was going to ask you,
you know,
every comedian comes up.
I always ask,
what was their best show?
And what was their worst show?
What was your worst show?
I bombed so bad this one time.
I did a check spot at Stand Up New York.
And at the time, a check spot is when the comedy.
Similar.
It's when the people that was drinking at the club.
Pull you over.
Are getting their checks.
Okay.
So they're not really fully paying attention to the comment.
People are talking. People are looking at their checks.
Yeah. So I had a
check spot at a time that I don't
think I was probably skilled enough to
do. Okay.
I bombed
so bad. I didn't
go above 50th Street
for six months. Damn.
Stand Up New York is in the Upper West Side.
I was like, I can't even show my face.
So what made it so bad?
Like, people, did they boo, or were they just not paying?
No, it was silence of the lambs.
I was like, what's going on?
And I just realized, you know what?
I just had a bomb.
How'd you get out of it?
You said, all right, God bless, good night.
I left it and didn't come back for six months.
I don't remember.
I blacked out, and I think I just woke up from it a few minutes ago.
You know what?
The worst thing you could do, too, and I just saw this happen recently,
is when you are bombing and, like, maybe one person boos,
I saw somebody just do this, and they were like, oh, are y'all booing me?
And that was it.
Oh.
See, I've never been booed.
See, I haven't been booed.
I've never been booed.
The person acknowledged the one boo. Yeah. And then set it on stage. I've been been booed. She said, I've never been booed. I've never been booed. The person acknowledged the one boo.
Yeah.
And then set it on stage.
I've been ignored, but not...
What was the second time? You said twice.
Oh, so the first, one of the first experiences I had when I finally,
because it took a lot for me, especially after Patrice passed,
to come back out into the comedy world as a comic.
And I remember I was on BET. I did According to Him or Her. to come back out into the comedy world as a comic.
And I remember I was on BET.
I did According to Him or Her.
I did two seasons of it.
Tiffany Haddish was on it.
Like, they picked four comedians from New York,
and I was one of them.
And they did, we did two seasons.
It was a talking head comedy show.
And they did a live from the improv featuring the comedians of According to Him and Her.
And I was so hurt in my soul that I hadn't been doing stand-up, so I wasn't even prepared to be considered on this show.
And I remember I talked to Tiffany, but I talked to every, I was like, I can't believe that I'm not walking in my purpose.
I can't believe I'm not doing this.
It was killing me.
And the first time I went out and I said, okay, I'm going in and I'm not going to stop from this point on.
The comedian, I'm not going to say who, I did not know he knew who I was.
And he's like, we got a special guest.
So I'm looking around like,
I thought I was next.
Like, yeah.
I was like, who came in?
I was like, oh, shoot.
They didn't even tell me.
I was bummed.
We have a special guest coming to the stage.
The late, great Patrisse O'Neal's widow,
Von DiCarlo.
And I was like.
What an introduction.
It was the,
I felt like I was walking towards the stage in slow motion. And I told myself as I was on DiCarlo and I was like. What an introduction. It was the, I felt like I was walking towards the stage of slow motion.
And I told myself as I was walking, I said, this is what it is.
It's up to you.
You got 30 seconds.
Wipe it clean.
So I was like.
But he didn't mean to be harmed by it.
It wasn't malicious.
That's why I'm not going to say his name.
I know it wasn't malicious.
You know, but he was, you know, inexperienced.
And I got up there and I did not bomb I had them the whole time with my stuff I don't know if I'm gonna say I smashed
it but I smashed it I smashed it and I was very proud of myself and that was the moment where I
said I could do this and this is gonna be my challenge and it's okay because eventually I put in the work.
People see my comedy for me separate from what I am to Patrice's legacy and my responsibility to his legacy.
I keep it as separate as possible, you know, and that's that's my that's one of the many challenges that I have to face.
And it's it's getting easier and easier and easier and easier.
The more work you do, the more people respect you for your stuff,
and they see what I'm doing.
Is anything off limits to you?
There was this one comic I saw her perform like years ago,
and she has a joke about getting raped.
Now, do you think there are certain things that it's just impossible for it to be funny?
Off limits? No, no.
I think you have to be responsible with your words and you have to be truthful and honest.
And if you're coming from a place where this is my experience, this is what I'm pulling funny out of, I think it's fine.
Sometimes people are doing things just to be
shocking. But for me personally,
if you're doing something
just for the laugh and just
to be shocking, that's
disingenuous. You know, it's not real.
And people can feel that and sense that.
People can feel that, they can sense it, and hey,
they might like it.
But that's not, everybody's not for everybody.
That's not the audience that I'm trying to find.
And that's one of the great things about getting back to bombing.
Sometimes you're not, there's bombing and then there's this crowd just ain't for me.
This ain't my crowd.
I did a club in Long Island, which is in this area was very Trump nation.
But they told me, they were like, oh, you're so funny, but you maybe ease back on the Trump stuff.
I said, no, I'm going to do what I'm going to do.
And they can either deal with it or not.
And this one lady, I'll never forget because I have a, you know, I was doing the, you know, I'm half white, half black, which is just a fancy way of saying I'm black. This woman with like a chip, no tooth was like,
so it's the white part that makes you fancy, huh?
Girl, I was like, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Okay.
Is this where, okay.
Damn.
You said she had a chip, no tooth.
I was like, if the fancy obviously passed you up.
Right.
It skipped a generation with you.
I'd be like, I'll be like, yeah.
I know you don't think your whiteness.
Okay.
All right.
Fine.
But again, I'm going to find, I'm going to do everything that I'm going to do.
And my audience is going to come to me, hopefully on January 15th at Caroline's on Broadway.
We'll make sure.
Please.
January 15th.
And we appreciate you for joining us.
Thank you so much. I'm glad you finally made it up. Thank you for having me. Oh my god,
it was so fun. It's Von DeCarlo.
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Donkeys of the Day, ask Charlamagne.
I'm a Democrat, so being Donkey of the
Day is a little bit of a mix up.
So like a donkey. Keyhole.
Donkey of the Day.
The Breakfast Club,
bitches. Now I've been called
a lot in my 23 years, but donkey
of the day is a new one. Alright, listen
man, Charlemagne the God here. I'm on vacation.
I don't give a damn what y'all think about that
because I deserve it. Now, the Breakfast Club
is in 80 plus markets in 150
countries, so we have a lot of new listeners who probably don't even
know who Charlemagne thea God is. So use
my time off to catch up on
some of my past work. Okay? Okay.
If you're new here, I do a segment
every day called Donkey of the Day. Donkey as in
jackass. And that's when I give someone the credit
they deserve for being stupid. So if you
never heard of it, this is new to you. But if you
are a regular listener, then this is an oldie but goodie
because it's the best of the
Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the day goes to
Ebony Cooper, 28, and Leah Presley,
26, of Savannah, Georgia. I love
Savannah. Beautiful city. With a lot of young
entrepreneurs. And that's what Ebony and Leah are.
Two local entrepreneurs who
were at an event for local entrepreneurship.
This is the beautiful thing about community.
When you are living in a eco,
a thriving ecosystem where the schools,
the churches, local businesses are all working together to get the best out of people in that community, everyone wins.
And this is a great example.
See, a local church in Savannah was hosting an event for local entrepreneurs, and Ebony and Leah, being the young go-getters that they are, decided they wanted in.
See, Leah and Ebony have a product, ladies and gentlemen, and they sell that product. And I guess it's working for them.
So once they heard the news about the church throwing this event, they decided this is where they needed to be to expand their business.
You got to respect that, right?
So Ebony and Leah started running ads on social media telling people, come one, come all, pull up to the church and buy what it is we are selling.
I repeat, Leah and Ebony started advertising their product on social media telling people we
gonna be at the church on such and such date selling what we got now the problem lies in what
ebony and leah was selling let's go to the news now for the report please savannah chatham counter
narcotics team said 28 year old ebony cooper was openly selling marijuana and thC edibles on church property.
Law enforcement discovered it via a social media search where it was being advertised.
Well, okay, so the church itself didn't know.
An outside vendor actually hosted an entrepreneur event at the church property,
and that's where the edibles were being sold.
Cooper and a friend named Leah Presley went off-site after agents made an undercover buy of the edibles and searched their vehicle.
That's where they found even more marijuana edibles, more than $1,000 in cash, and a loaded gun. They also believe that she had the loaded gun on her on the church property when she was selling those marijuana edibles.
The women involved both face felony drug charges.
I've conceded America to the stupid people.
It's over for anyone with a lick of common sense.
If you deal with logic and facts in any way, shape, or form,
you are not a stupid one in this country.
Leah and Ebony decided to sell edibles at the church.
Okay, various types of THC-filled treats, cereal, brownies, puddings, you name it, they got it.
And they decided to advertise that they were selling it at the church via social media.
They had a THC filled testimony to tell.
Okay, I know right now they sitting in jail wondering who snitched on them.
They probably think it was Sister Jenkins or Sister Jefferson.
Okay, both of them were just on the sick and shut in list because Jenkins' sugar was too high and Sister Jefferson had gout in her heel.
But they finally home, and they always chastised in Leah and Ebony.
So Leah and Ebony think that Sister Jefferson and Sister Jenkins dropped a dime on them
when the reality is they told the FBI what was going on themselves.
And by FBI, I mean Facebook and Instagram.
Okay, I love so much about this story, though.
All right, the fact that they pulled up to a church event with a loaded pistol.
You heard her say Ebony Cooper had the pistol on her while she was manning the booth.
They was treating this booth at this church event like it was the bando for real.
And I get it.
Okay, Deacon McNeil got a nephew that just came home from doing a year for child support,
and he be stealing out the collection plate.
So you can't take no chances with him.
All right, two young women selling edibles on church grounds got to be protected.
Ephesians 6, verses 10 through 18 tells you about the whole armor of God
and how the whole armor of God protects you,
but that don't apply to people who sell edibles on church grounds.
Sometimes that breastplate of righteousness isn't enough,
and I need that pistol to protect me from Deacon McNeil's nephew.
Okay?
Leah and Ebony are now facing felony drug charges and are in the Chatham County Jail.
However, agents say they do not believe Presley participated in the edible sales that occurred on the church property.
And CTN agents say Cooper was actively advertising the illegal big goods on various social media sites herself.
Sounds to me like Ebony Cooper is getting blamed for everything.
She had the pistol on her.
She was the one advertising on social media.
Presley didn't participate.
Two people get arrested for the same charges, but one gets blamed for everything.
You know, this morning I decided to Google what the Bible says about snitching.
All right.
The Bible recommends first that we do not enter into confidences with evil people. 1 Corinthians 15, 33, Psalm 1, 1, Proverbs 13, 20, any of those chapters tell you
that. Spending time with people who do illegal things will eventually result in participation
in those illegal activities, or at the very least, companionship that expects loyalty, okay? This is
a dangerous situation, all right? A former criminal accomplice who comes clean to the authorities will get labeled a snitch and will be in jeopardy. So it's better not to go
down that road at all, all right? You have to think about these kinds of things when you decide to
advertise your drug selling on social media and then go set up a band or at the church for you
and your friend to make some money. I'm not saying Leah is snitching on Ebony. I'm just saying in the
book of Jeezy, chapter 101, verse 14, it says if you get manned up, if you get
jammed up, alright, don't mention my name.
Okay? Please give Leah Presley
and Ebony Cooper the biggest
hee-haw.
That's all I'm saying.
Okay? Well, alright.
So you don't think
people in church smoke weed?
Of course they smoke weed.
Ain't nothing wrong with them selling the edibles at church, but don't advertise it on social media.
Oh, so you're giving a donkey for, okay, advertise it on social media.
Don't advertise it on social media.
Because I thought it was pretty great.
And we don't know.
People in church, it's a large congregation.
You get large people.
You can just sell your issue.
And can you trust them not to sell it to kids?
Kids running up, they want some brownies.
They want some pudding.
They want some Rice Krispies treats.
They don't know that there's weed in it.
Can you trust these two people not to sell it to kids? No, little man, this is for adultsies. They want some pudding. They want some Rice Krispies treats. They don't know that there's weed in it. Can you trust these two people
not to sell it to kids? No, little man. This is for
adults only. This is adult cookies.
All I'm saying is don't advertise
it via social media.
Everything else, I completely agree with.
Alright, well, thank you for that donkey.
Including bringing a pistol to church.
You don't know, man. People are like,
ever since Dylann Roof, I've got anxiety.
PTSD. I need to have my gun with me in church.
The Breakfast Club.

The game was like
in a weird space.
I kind of just had to like
sit back and just like
I got to figure this shit out.
What was weird about it for you?
I don't know.
Just what was going on.
With like
what was just going on
it's just like
didn't feel like hip hop.
Like what?
Mumble rap?
Not even
not even just mumble rap.
Just everything.
It didn't even feel like rap for a
minute it felt like yeah it just felt like more games and more funnies and more virals it was just
like it wasn't even about music no more yeah yeah so it was just kind of like whoa some people were
first exposed to you because of sisterhood of hip-hop yeah do you believe that there is a
sisterhood in hip-hop i think more so now. With like more females coming to the forefront
and more women
who like in a position
of power to show love
and they actually do.
You know what I'm saying?
Shout out to Cardi B.
My girl,
we just,
she had the launch
for her fashion over line
out in LA.

No, not at all.
Brianna went to school.

Bills is bills.
Brianna got a degree
from the University of Miami.

Yeah, shout out to the Hurricanes.
Y'all may be on point.
No, I was going to say that.
As far as you going to school,
that's also like you've always known,
okay, I got to make sure
I know the business side of things
and not just put out music,
but I need to know, like,
how can I handle my own business?
A lot of people
don't think about that.
Yeah, nah,
and that's important
because when it's all
said and done,
like I said,
bills is bills.
Now, what about
all these thirst trappings
that you be doing
on social media?
Yo, who be thirst trapping?
You be thirst trapping a little.

You ain't have to turn around.
No, all right, that's enough.
Now, the good thing is, though, we always know she know what she's doing because your mom rocks with you all the time.
Yeah, she be with the shit, though.
A lot of people don't know that.
They think, like, oh, my God, her mother's here.
She's worse than me.
Yeah, she be like, boo, go for it.
Boo, do it.
I be like, man, I got to chill. She's not a regular mom. She's worse than me. She'd be like, boo, go for it. Boo, do it. I'd be like,
mom, I gotta chill.
She's not a regular mom.
She's a cool mom.
Sometimes I'd be like,
I should go hang out
with Kiki and be like,
Bianca,
could you be more
conservative?
Yeah, I think she's
low-key more fun than me.
You're gonna fight with Kiki.
I think she's low-key.
You're gonna fight some more.
Does your mom
want to see this stuff?
She's controversial.
She'll be like,
chill out.
You know what?
Sometimes I'll be like,
yo, I'm about to block you
because she just
catch everything. I'll be like, yo, you're about to block you. Because she just catch everything. I'll be like, yo.
Look at your Instagram. My daughter would have to block you.
I'd be like, no, take this down. I would be flagging pictures.
You know, I don't think you should have did that.
You'd be like, mom. That's how I was feeling.
That's why I'd be scared for you on reality TV.
You did sisterhood of hip hop.
I'm hearing you're going to do Love & Hip Hop Miami.
You heard that? That's what I heard. Really?
That's what I heard. Shout out to the Kek. You know they're about to air.
And they're about to air. Are you on it?
I mean, you might see the space.
Yeah. Because I mean it's Miami
and not Miami. I'm scared for that
though. Why? Why?
You know me. I know.
But somebody say the wrong thing,
then a set tore up for what?
You know what I'm saying? She's grown and she's evolved.
They ain't got to worry about that. Now let's get back to your question.
I'm talking about Kiki.
I'm talking about her mom.? She's grown and she's evolved. They ain't got to worry about that. Now, let's get back to your fortune. I'm talking about Kiki. I'm talking about her mom.
Her mom's grown and evolved.
Her mom's grown and evolved.
Now, let's talk about your fortune cookie.
Why is the album called Fortune Cookie?
That just sounded so crazy, but go ahead.
Why is the album called Fortune? That sounded crazy?
Yes, why is it called Fortune Cookie?
I mean, because the cookie's worth the fortune.
Oh, my goodness.
First and foremost.
Mom, I'm about to have a heart attack.
Hey, Mom.
No, no, no.
Just because, you know, when people get fortune cookies, like everybody, we all could be here.
We all get a different message in the fortune cookie.
In bed.
Lip service.
Lip service.
You did lip service?
Don't catch that.
Yes.
Recently?
Insane.
Oh, my goodness.
Mama, you let her do lip service?
Yo, yo, but I didn't.
They were talking about fortune cookies?
Oh, my God.
She even had a drink, y'all.
You had a drink?
Yes.
You drink now?
You old enough to drink? Bree! Oh, my God. What the had a drink, y'all. You had a drink? Yes. You drink now? You old enough to drink, Bri?
Oh, my God.
What the fuck is going on out here?
How old are we?
I know.
She wasn't supposed to even send it to you?
What the hell is going on?
Oh, my goodness.
But no, listen, like, we all get a different message.
And I feel like when people press play on fortune cookie, like, they all going to get a different message depending on where they at in their life.
They're going to take something away from it, though.
So it was just like fortune cookie.
You ain't got a boyfriend, do you?
That's just how I felt.
What do you mean?
She got somebody she be talking about on Instagram.
Oh.
I don't know.
I've been watching your last few videos.
You be saying something like, the boo got a, I can't eat too much boo.
Don't like when I get fat.
Oh, yeah.
I don't get the why when I gain weight.
You don't get the why?
Yeah.
I don't get the why when I gain weight.
That's not me.
That's not me.
That's Cha-Cha.
Oh, okay, okay, okay. That's not me. That's Cha-Cha. Oh, okay, okay, okay.
That's not me.
So Brie is single.
Cha-Cha got multiple men on deck.
I think Cha-Cha pretty locked in, though, but she locked in with a big deal.
I'm confused, bud.
It's Brie.
Brie's single.
Brie better not no man, right?
You single, right?
Just music.
I don't want to bring that heat to nobody.
All right.
I don't want that pressure.
I don't want that pressure.
Now, you have a song called Anita Baker.
Yeah.
That's hard.
Yeah, talk to us about it.
Thank you.
It's hard because of the wordplay.
I don't want to give it away, but when I was riding to it, I was like, oh, all right.
Okay.
And then, you know what's crazy?
I recorded Anita Baker in Miami, and then we went out to L.A. for the BET Awards, and
then they honored Anita Baker, and then we all was in the room.
We just looked at each other like, yeah.
Yeah.
But no, Anita Baker is just me just talking that talk,
and I love Anita Baker.
What about scammers?
Florida.
That's definitely Florida.
Shout out to Gunna.
He's really dope.
Do I know a lot of scammers?
Kiki used to be.
No, I'm just playing.
Don't call her mama no scammer.
I love them. It's like
I get money, but I still f***ing scammer.
So it's just like, you know, everybody
out here hustling. People doing it
corporately. Support black-owned businesses.
Support black-owned businesses.
But you came up around that your whole life, though, as far as
like black-owned... No, I'm not an entrepreneur.
I mean, scamming, too.
I'm not an entrepreneur. You mean, scamming, too. I'm talking about entrepreneurship.
You came up around that.
You was born into scamming.
You was born into scamming.
You came up around that.
Yeesh.
I'm talking about entrepreneurship.
Yeah, yeah.
I'll be around people who, you know, they hustle, they get their money.
How did the song with Offset come about?
Monkey Business.
Can we play that today, too?
Yes.
I think that should be the single.
I ain't going to talk too much about it, but it happened.
Go listen to it.
Introduce your joint. Yes, yes,
yes, it's your girl Breonna Perry, BP.
Offset, I need you to turn your radios
all the way up. This that monkey business
fortune cookie. Let's go. Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela
Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast
Club. Breonna Perry is still here.
Charlamagne? Yes. How did you balance
school and rapping, though? Because a lot of times you talk
to these kids, they feel like they got to do one or the other.
It was not the easiest thing.
I won't sit up here in front like it was.
It was stressful.
College was way harder than high school.
Of course, I had just got signed.
I started moving around a lot.
But I'm the type of person, like, I'm a finisher.
I like to finish things that I start.
And I didn't want to get there because it's like I always want,
that was my dream school since I was eight years old.
So it was like, yo, it's important to me. I was eight years old so I was like yo it's important
to me but then I'm like damn like
I started this it was I gotta finish
it period. What made you want to get a degree
though? Because some people just give it all a rap like I'm
gonna focus all my energy in the rap like I can do nothing else
No I just took it as it's like yo I'm
getting game that I need this for what I do
like honestly I wasn't going to class
because it's like I'm about to go work a regular nine to five
when I'm in my you know my business law class and I was like no I need this for what to class because it's like I'm about to go work a regular 9-to-5 when I'm in my
business law class. I was like, no, I need this
for what I do because it's a lot of snakes.
It's a lot of people being the game and they end
broke. Yeah. How did they
treat you in school since you were rapping?
It was kind of crazy. Sometimes
I went into a class. I think I went into a marketing class
and the teacher had
structured the whole lecture around me.
It was like a surprise. It was just
like, oh, and one of
our students... I ain't gonna tell you how to mark it.
You lived it. Yeah.
It's like, oh, she started pulling up all my
YouTubes and like, it was a lot of foreign
people in my class. It was dope.
It was like, oh, we didn't even know because I didn't just
go to school. Like, yeah, you know, check me out. And then
like when Beyonce posted up
the Marilyn Monroe and it just started bringing a lot of attention but they were real supportive though it was real
cool did you pass the lesson that at least was centered around you what did you what was your
grade on that lesson I ain't gonna lie I had gotta be a B for Brianna. How? B for Brianna. It was hard, Charlamagne.
It was about to, but it was hard.
It was hard.
It was hard.
It was hard.
Shout out to UM.
What does Brianna want from music?
What would be considered a success to you?
When people just, they relate to the music,
and they feel like, yo, I don't hear,
like, I'm that girl, and I don't hear that.
My voice is not heard, like I said, with other artists.
Just to represent the people who don't got no voice.
Absolutely.
Because I feel like in female rap, it's easy for a lot of women to not have a voice.
You know what I mean?
Or have one voice.
Oh, yeah.
You mean to be talking about one thing all the time.
Yeah, like you in the club and you saying stuff.
The song going off, you rapping with it, but it's like, damn, that ain't really me.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
I feel like that happens a lot.
I love the fact that you got your degree.
Most people who start rapping or go into entrepreneurial stuff
don't think they need their degree.
And I love the fact that you did it outside of communication,
outside of things that is involved with music.
That business just shows a lot.
It'll keep you on track and make sure you know your contracts and invest.
Thank you, thank you.
You think you're going to end up with a business-type guy,
like a dude in a suit, like a corporate,
or you're going to end up with a thug?
Thug.
You want to be a business thug?
How do you know?
I don't know.
Yeah.
I've never.
I see you with a reformed thug.
Somebody who used to be a thug, but got a new thug.

You said the first time I didn't get a pass.
It depends on a lot of things.

There's a lot of things that could happen.
You can't just say, if you cheat, would you stay with somebody?

It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
We're celebrating the Breakfast Club's eight-year anniversary.
Check out this moment.
It's the Breakfast Club.
We got two special ladies in the building this morning.
Two surprise guests, because we had no idea they were coming.
But this is a great guest.
Great guest.
One is Brandi.
Hi.
And the other is Miss, she will F you up in a minute, Monica.
Monica, yes.
We were talking about this behind the scenes.
Welcome, ladies.
Now, listen, it's been 15 years.
Things have changed.
And I've seen Monica threaten to delete her Twitter account before.
And I've seen them coming at you crazy on Twitter and stuff like that.
How do y'all deal with the new social media wave that's out now?
I had to realize, too, that some things just don't need a response.
Absolutely. Because the truth don't need support.
It is what it is.
So I had to accept the fact that it's not like it used to be where you have real journalism and people that cared enough to try to reach your people and see if something was true before they talked about it or responded to it or put it all over the world.
People want a reaction.
Exactly.
And it's unfortunate that you have people at home that don't realize that this is just another
way to make money off them. When you log
on, you click, you entertain,
you correspond. This just puts money
in somebody's pocket. It doesn't bring you any closer
to the artist because most of the stuff is not
even true. So it's something
that takes some adapting to.
What about when it's an old issue
that's true? Like, you know, Brandy, you had
the incident where you had the car wreck.
Somebody unfortunately died.
Right.
You know, people like to bring stuff up like that on Twitter, call you a murderer.
Yeah, those things hurt.
Like, I can't sit here and say that I'm not affected by things like that because I am.
You seem very sensitive.
Like, you seem like you read the Twitter and just start breaking down.
No, no, no, I don't break down.
Like, don't take my, you know my humbleness for weakness at all.
I am a very sensitive person, and I just feel like when people's intentions are bad
and when they go to a place to try to hurt you,
that was a very unfortunate situation that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
So when people take those moments to just, you know, send me pictures of car
crashes or.
Yeah, that's foul.
Yeah, that's a little bit out of line.
Or say things with evil intent that it's like, I think to myself, where do, how do people
go to that place?
Because it's hard for me to, I don't even know if I have that place inside of me to
try to hurt somebody else.
You know, we all say things we don't mean, but the places
that people go are just...
It's unreal. And I can't
really figure out what the reasoning is.
I don't do that thing. And I understand
that they're miserable, but still
it's... The law of energy is that
energy is never lost or destroyed,
just transferred from one party to the next.
So if they see you tweet something positive, like you might be in
Bora Bora somewhere,
all they want to do is tweet you and say murderer,
just to mess your day up.
Yeah, but it... It does.
It does at times.
It does, but, you know, it's been a while.
So I've gotten a little bit stronger in that area
when people try to go to that place.
But, you know, for the most part,
I use Twitter to socialize with the people that
do love me and that do support me and you know i have this this thing on my page called brandoms
and they're like random brandy thoughts and i just tweet positive things to to i'll tell you
what my dad told me my dad is from the country you know that already but he tells me like these
crazy he'll call me and he'll tell me like some great sayings to keep
with you that are just like very very i mean they're they're broken down so perfectly he told
me he said um maggots can't live unless they're feeding off something don't let them feed off you
right you know so he'll call me with little things like that that remind me. It's not to say
that people are maggots, but negative
things because we know, you know, it's
just that if you feed it, it just
seems to fester and grow. So I
just stop feeding things, you know, because
in order to live. You should tweet stuff like that
sometimes. Oh, she does.
She does that all the time. Brandy should tweet
I'm with the money team right now.
Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Eight years.
