You know what me and my wife did last night? You know, every once in a while, probably once a month or once every two months. Y'all have sex? No, no, no. We have sex more than that. About four or five times a month. Y'all need to know that. Last night we actually got it in. But we went to Massage No, what's Massage? No, we went to Elements. Now Elements is a massage

place that doesn't charge much for massages. I think it's like $60, $50 for a full body massage. And sometimes you just need that. Just park the kids. Tell the kids to leave you alone for an hour and go get your massage. You park the kids? How do you park the kids? You just tell them to sit their ass down for a little bit. Oh, okay.

Yeah, but it was good. An amazing massage. Oh my gosh, I feel so good and so comfortable right now. As you should. You know what's so funny? I went to the pedicure and manicure yesterday. Gotta take care of your body sometimes. Yeah, I didn't get to go with the wife because I was, I'm out of town, but

I got me a little pedicure and manicure. And you know what's so sad about that? What? I got me a pedicure and manicure in the hotel. And that was one of those things, man, where I almost walked out on the bill. Because it's too expensive in the hotel. Bruh, I go to the, I go right up the street to the little Asian people and get it for like $50. In the hotel, it was $200.

I was like, what? Yeah. Excuse me? For a little pedicure, a pedicure. I could have told you that. Same thing with a massage. And a little buff? Yeah.

What? If you would have got a massage, they would have been like $300. You would have been pissed off. I would have paid. I would have paid. I would have given somebody else a room number. And let them charge us. You are stupid. That's what I would have did. Now, this morning. I would have given somebody else a room number. And let them charge us. You are stupid.

That's what I would have did. Now, this morning, we got some special guests joining us. We have Wale joining us. His album is out right now. It's called Shine, so we'll kick it with Wale. Drop one of Clues Bombs for Wale. Damn it, that's my guy. I'm sorry I couldn't be here for that one.

That's my guy. And also the CEO of Shea Moisture. His name is Rich Dennis. There's been a lot going on with Shea Moisture. Oh, so we're having a nice little Shea Butter show this morning. We got Wale and we got the head of Shea Moisture. Yes, if that's what you want to call it. It's a nice little Shea Butter show.

What up, Yee? Hey, what's up, Emmy? What's up, Charlemagne? Hey. I told him he was getting your face beat, so you'd be here. Well, I got here late today because they're cleaning the bridge that I have to take to get here. It's me the same way. I had to run like mad red lights to get here on time. Right. Well,

I just couldn't do anything. It was at a complete standstill. So I was just sitting there like, man, why the hell would you clean a bridge? They've been cleaning it, I guess, for the past couple of weeks, but I was gone one week and I usually take another way. But I was at John Jay yesterday hosting a talent show there. So shout out to everybody from John Jay Radio.

A lot of people that are aspiring. John Jay Community College. They got a radio station? Is that what you're talking about? Oh, no. No. Oh. But, yeah, they had a talent show, so I was there yesterday hosting that, so shout out to everybody who performed. It's hard to get up on stage and perform, so I always respect people that can do that.

Some people, it was their first time performing. Cool. Well, New York don't need to stop with just cleaning the bridge. They need to clean all of New York. OK, New York is filthy. It is filthy. Clean all of New York. Don't just stop with the bridge. It is filthy. They need to clean it up. And New Yorkers and even people from New Jersey just need to stop littering. We litter so easy like it's nothing. We'll throw gum on the street. We get McDonald's. I used to throw gum. Gum is like part of the street.

Exactly. It's like the design is gum. So much gum on the street, you can't ever even see it. I don't know what it would look like without gum on it. Nah, we got to clean it up. We got to clean it up a little bit. But anyway, let's get the show cracking. Here's a worldwide exclusive. We're going to be playing this every hour on the hour from DJ Khaled featuring Justin Bieber.

Justin Bieber, excuse me. Quavo and Chance the Rapper. It's called I'm the One and it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Khaled, Justin Bieber, Quavo. Does DJ Khaled work for iHeartRadio? Yes. DJ Khaled get love like he got a nationally syndicated morning show or something.

Jesus Christ. He gets better love, actually. That's a tough tune. Yeah, he does get a little better love. He gets better love. Well, at least us. He gets better love than us. He features Lil Wayne and Chance the Rapper's on there, too.

Chance the Rapper's on there? I ain't hear Chance. I heard Lil Wayne. I heard Quavo. I ain't hear Chance the Rapper. He's on there as nothing. He features Lil Wayne and Chance the Rapper's on there, too. Chance the Rapper's on there? I ain't hear Chance. I heard Lil Wayne. I heard Quavo. I ain't hear Chance the Rapper. He's on there, as well. All right. Well, let's get into some front-page news.

Now, the Toronto Raptors eliminate the Milwaukee Bucks, beating them 92-89. The Spurs eliminate the Grizzlies, beating them 103-96. Now, let's talk about Donald Trump. Oh, man. Well, this is hilarious. President Donald Trump is reflecting on his first 100 days in office. And surprisingly enough, he did not know it would be so difficult. Check it out.

Duh. Well, I love my previous life. I love my previous life. I had so many things going. I actually, this is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier. I like to work, so that's not a problem, but this is actually more work. Alright.

Cue him up for donkey today. My goodness. I don't think Donald's gotten donkey of the day this month, has he? I don't think so. Cue him up, man. We might have to do our own special intro for when Donald Trump gets donkey of the day. He can't get directly into everybody else.

He said, you know, this is a lot less privacy than he's seen before. Can't drive his own car. Yeah, you think? He said, you can't go anywhere. I can't drive anymore. That's how this all works. And he likes to drive. Yeah, it's called being the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump. Are you done?

Jesus Christ. Even with healthcare, remember he said, nobody knew health care could be so complicated. Everybody knew health care was complicated. If it wasn't, we wouldn't have had all those issues trying to get health care bills passed. Listen, does America still have its warranty? Don't we got a 100-day warranty on Donald Trump? This should have been like a probationary period. It's not.

I thought it was. We decide whether we're going to keep you. Nah, it doesn't work like that. I wish it did. It's not like that for the 100 days? No. I thought we had a warranty on him. Nope, nope, nope. Can that. I wish it did. It's not like that for 100 days? No. I thought we had a warranty on them. Nope, nope, nope.

Can't bring them back. Let's talk about United. Reached a settlement? Yes, they actually reached a settlement with Dr. David Dow. That's the passenger who was dragged off of the flight earlier this month. Now, Dow's lawyers are happy with that deal. They haven't disclosed what the financial situation is, but they're very happy, so I can assume that it's a pretty good...

Yeah, they want that to go away ASAP. Right, and according to Dow's lawyers, they said Mr. Munoz said he was going to do the right thing. That's the CEO. He said, in addition, United has taken full responsibility for what happened without attempting to blame others, including the city of Chicago. I wonder how much

they gave him. I'm sure one day we'll find out. Nah, you'll never find out. Oh, his Instagram will be lit if he was into that kind of thing right now. If he got enough money to where he'd have the best Instagram on social media, at least for the next year or so. All right. And United changed a bunch of stuff, too. They changed, like, four things.

Like, they offer you $10,000 in compensation now. They actually made 10 major changes. Yeah, nobody will be forced off flights anymore. They're going to limit contacting law enforcement to come help assist with that type of stuff. They also said if you lose your luggage, they'll automatically no questions asked, give you $1,500 if they lose your luggage.

They need more than that, depending on what's in your luggage. Remember I had that problem, that one problem that one time. You want to fly United just to try to start a fight. Watch me off the plane. Watch how I act. You don't want this though. I mean, he had a fight. Force me off the plane. He's stupid. Watch how I act. You don't want this though. I mean, he had a concussion. He broke his nose. He lost teeth. Hey, man. He might have got about 15. I lost hair in my

left ear one time when I got into a car accident. That's my story. That's my story. I'm sticking to it. How much did you get when you said that? Like $4,000. $3,500. That's nothing. I mean, back then it was. Ain't nothing to y'all rich Negroes. No, you could have got a lot more, I feel like. To me, that was everything.

I mean, I didn't really have no injuries. I was, you know. I thought you just said you lost hearing. I said that was my story and I'm sticking to it. I didn't really hear what you said just now. What happened? All right. Then that's front page news.

I just came across the Kim Kardashian West interview with Ellen and she got robbed in Paris and she's talking about how

important her life is now because material things is not important anymore. I believe she should have realized it before. Before all this. You can't say that because she's been historically rich, so she's not like the rest of us who had to understand the meaning of life and stuff

before we got a little change. She didn't understand that until she got robbed. Hello, who's this? This is Cousin Envy, Auntie Angie, Uncle Shala. I need to talk to you. I'm mad and I'm blessed.

All right, why are you mad first? Man, I'm mad because Uncle Sharla, we need to talk about that man from South Carolina in the book, Black Privilege. What man? We ain't going to say no names. You already know what I'm talking about. What? When rappers call up there, I see why you put rappers down, man. I already see.

I don't know what you're talking about, my brother. You talking about the F Your Dreams chapter? Yeah. The rappers in South Carolina. It's as simple as that. But I'm blessed that you put the book out, man. I love it. I appreciate that. Keep doing your thing, man. The book's out right now.

I got it already. I already pre-ordered it. I appreciate that. Keep doing your thing, man. The book's out right now. I got it already. I already pre-ordered it. I got the book in the mail the other day. There you go. And you didn't even sign it. Oh, I didn't know you ordered a signed copy. You should have ordered a signed copy. You can order a signed copy of Black Privilege.

But I pre-ordered it, Solomon. Oh, got you. Well, thank you. You'll see me in the street. I'll sign it soon for you, man. All right, bro. All right, my brother. Hello, who's this?

Good morning, it's Shakita. Hey, Lakita, you mad or blessed this morning? I'm mad this morning. So, I just left the gym. I was feeling all good. And my 60-year-old mom come up, I'm talking to my mom, where you at? And I'm like, I'm just leaving the gym. What's wrong? I'm like, oh, hurry up with the car. You know I gotta go to school and do this program.

That's right. Your child is focused, alright? He need his ride to school. He this program. That's right. I'm going to buy my own car. Your child is focused, all right? He needs his ride to school. He's pressing you. That's right. She needs to focus some of that money for that part-time job she got on this car. She wants to rush me in my car.

And you're fucking dead. You must have left the gym feeling single and child-free. At least she wants to go to school. No, not single. Definitely not. I need my husband to come through with that mortgage. But that's definitely a little child child free. Well, guess what? She got a harsh reminder this morning.

You better take that girl to school. Thank you, Mama. All right. Tell them why you're mad or tell them why you're blessed. 805-851-051 is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Listen up. Okay. Are you blessed and highly favored? I feel blessed. Tell the congregation at 800-585-1051. How?

This a celebration. It's the Breakfast Club. It's time for Tell Them Why You're Blessed. You know why I'm blessed this morning, guys? Why? Why are you blessed? Because I almost went to that Fyre Festival, right? Uh-oh.

And I'm hearing all these comments about this Fyre Festival and how bad it is. No cell service. They're saying people have... But it's a hashtag, I guess. People are talking about it. What the hell is the Fyre Festival? It was a festival for Fyre in the Bahamas. And I guess it was like...

It's very expensive. It was like $12,000 for a regular package. But it's supposed to be... Why does Fyre need its own festival? Why Water and Air can't get their own festival? Why Fyre? That was just the name of it. It was supposed to be good music, Migos, Ray Shermert.

It was a bunch of artists. Major Lazer. So it's a music festival. A music festival, yeah, right after Coachella. It's not going too well. It looks like they canceled it according to everything online. People are stuck there. People are trying to get home.

It's really bad. People say they have no food. There's no cell service. People say they purchased like luxury suites and it's like laying on the ground. Allegedly, it's all bad. Is it on an island or something?

Where is it? In the Bahamas. Oh, so it's in the Bahamas. So, okay. We need to call Ja Rule this morning. I don't know if Ja Rule's cell phone works. But I guess, yeah, I don't know. Because Ja Rule has something

to do with this festival. But we need to call him. I don't know. His cell phone might not work. I'm confused. I don't even know what's going on right now. Just be blessed you didn't know. Because Ja Rule has something to do with this festival. But we need to call him. I don't know. His cell phone might not work. I'm confused. I don't even know what's going on right now. Just be blessed you didn't go. Hello, who's this?

This is Roland Ray, the most famous boy in the wheelchair. Okay, the most famous boy in the wheelchair. You're definitely not the most famous person in the wheelchair. I am, Charlamagne. You already know. I don't play no games, man. All right, talk to us. What do you need, sir?

All right, so I just want to give a special shout-out to the queen of rap, Lil' Kim, for slaying last night. Drop one of Kool's bombs for Lil' Kim. All right, Lil' Kim. I said drop one of Kool's bombs for Lil' Kim. Look at you. Y'all Lil' Kim fans be ready to snap. Hold up, what you say?

He's about to get out that wheelchair and F your ass up. Don't talk about Kim. I don't pay about Lil' Kim. I would roll anybody over for Lil' Kim. That's my girl. How do you feel when Tupac's picture of me rolling comes on? I mean, at the end of the day, Tupac isn't here, so, you know, no shade. True, true.

What about the big time? What about the big time is get your roll on. How do you feel when that comes on? I mean, I'm not really sure about that song. All I'm worried about is my queen of rapping and her new album coming out. That's what I'm checking for. Let him enjoy his little cam. There you go.

Tell them why you blessed. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent. Or if you're blessed. Now, you got rumors on the way? Ooh, yes, we do. We are going to... Hey, I guess we should talk about Lil' Kim a little bit.

We'll talk about Diddy's documentary and what he's doing with that. But also, why is everybody so mad at Katy Perry? All right. We'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked. 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. With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Well, Katy Perry had announced a new song that's coming out with the Migos. It's called Bon Appetit. It's supposed to be released today,

but there's been a lot of backlash already because people feel like the Migos are homophobic and misogynistic all because of the remarks that they made when Makonnen, Isla Makonnen, came out as gay and Quavo said this world is not right. Now Katy Perry is getting criticized from the LGBT community

and other people even though, you know, she did songs like I Kissed a Girl and You're So Gay Previously. Yeah, but those songs are pro-LGBT because she said

she kissed a girl and she liked it. Yeah, you know what? Interestingly enough, she was criticized for those songs as well. Why? Those songs are very pro-LGBT.

You know I'm a huge Katy Perry fan. Everybody knows that. Okay? By the way. So I don't even have a problem with her and the Migos. I just want the song to be good. That's it. Is it good?

That's all I care about. We haven't heard it yet. Yeah, we haven't heard it yet. But, you know, they're upset because of the remarks that the Migos made. Why we should do a song with them is what people are feeling like. Quavo should just release a statement and Quavo should say look, I too kissed a girl and I liked it as well.

That'll clear everything up. I mean, I feel like they've already done interviews trying to clear up what it is that they said and what they meant in that interview, but you know how difficult that is. Also, gay people have to be cautious of who they ride for because I don't think y'all really want Makonnen on the team like that. Like, you know, all gay men aren't created equal.

All right. R. Kelly, Trapped in the Closet could be getting a sequel. And that could be happening really, really soon. I thought it already had 55 sequels. Well, it's 33 chapters already. And right now at Apple Music, they're actually trying to figure out a way to do another sequel. And according to other sources, they're saying that R. Kelly has a lot of material. So that could really keep it going.

Why do we care? Trash in the Closet was pretty big for R. Kelly. I know you watched it, right? No, it was pretty big. I watched a lot of them. R. Kelly's sex tape of him urinating on a 13-year-old girl that everybody wants to conveniently forget about. I've never seen that. Let's put out the sequel to that. That's child pornography. Yeah, I know. I've never seen it.

Yeah, it happened. Alright, and Puffy's documentary is coming exclusively to Apple Music, and that is Can't Stop, Won't Stop, which details Diddy and Bad Boy records rising in the 90s. So that will be on Apple Music. They premiered that last night in the city. I didn't see it, though. It's going to be available starting

June 25th. Cool. So if you want to see that. All right. And then there was this Fyre Festival that everybody is hashtagging this morning. If you look for that hashtag, it was a festival. It's in the Bahamas. All bad. But it looks like they've canceled it.

So if you had planned to go, just know that according to Fyre Festival's Instagram page, things got off to an unexpected start. Yeah. Day one for those currently on great eczema. We are working to comfortably accommodate guests and deliver a great experience. If you have needs, please head to the Blue House. But for those with pending travel due to circumstances beyond our control and in line with a culture of safety, all inbound charter flights to the eczemas have been canceled.

And so people will be refunded their money. But there's a lot of reports on what's going on on the island and it's not looking good. They're showing pictures of what the dinner looks like. It's a styrofoam box with bread and cheese. Oh my goodness. And some lettuce and Blink-182 actually pulled out

of their performance. They were supposed to perform both weekends. A statement from the band said regrettably and after much careful and difficult consideration we want to let you know we won't be performing. We're not confident we would have what we need to give you the quality of performances we always give fans. So it's supposed to be good music.

I don't understand how they could mess that up though. It's the Bahamas. It was an island. It's not like it's in NASA. They had to build these. They had to build the tents. They had to build the facilities, the bathrooms, bring in electricity and all that. That had to build these. They had to build the tents. They had to build the facilities, the bathrooms, bring in electricity and all that. That's what they get. They should have just made a deal with one of the resorts

there and kept it moving. Keep it easy breezy. Well, I think they were trying to make it something like more exclusive, someplace that nobody's ever been to before and therefore the ticket was really expensive. It was like $12,000. They told me like it was going to be like a struggle, a luxury struggle. You go out there, you get to see the performances,

but then there's luxury tents, and that's how they sold it to me. It would be kind of like Woodstock if Woodstock had luxurious accommodations. Right. But I don't think it worked out. I've seen pictures of Woodstock, and I don't think I would enjoy Woodstock. Well, that's what I'm saying. It's supposed to be an upscale type of thing where it's a festival, but I don't know.

It just didn't work. Well, if you want to go to a festival where you know the artists are going to be there. Hold on. I got that. This is my rumor report. I'm sorry. All right. We're getting ready for didn't work. Well, if you want to go to a festival where you know the artists are going to be there. Hold on. I got that. This is my rumor report. I'm sorry. All right. We're getting ready for our Daytime Village.

Oh, okay. And that's presented by Capital One. It's going to be the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Festival. And it's going down Saturday, September 23rd at the Las Vegas Village on the Strip across from the Luxor. So make sure y'all come to that. It's a luxury struggle. It's definitely nice.

Now there's going to be performances by French Montana, and we just added Khalid. So if you want to come and join us in our VIP suite, and this is just the village part. Khalid, Khalid. Khalid. Okay, that's definitely a luxury struggle. You can get your tickets now at Ticketmaster.com and join us for that Daytime Village that's presented by Capital One at the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Festival in Vegas. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.

But I'll be like, this is my greatest creation. I'll never create nothing better than this ever in life. It's not even possible. You know what I'm saying? And looking at it, like, I'll never create nothing better than it.

And just posting it, that's like when I'm on the road sometimes, I'll just be, like, reflecting, and I'll just be, like, looking through my pictures and be like, I miss her so much. And I just post it. Now, with you being, I don't want to say emotional, but with you being the way that Wiley is, that doesn't make you nervous because you know there's trolls out there. And let me tell you, Wiley and Envy are very similar

in the way you guys react to things. Absolutely. So he can say it. I think, I mean, Envy's so, he's like way more seasoned. You know what I'm saying? No, Envy is. Angelina talks me off the ledge a lot. Oh, yeah, well, that's because she knows you.

You can't press your buttons, though. I think it would be hard. It's getting harder to press my buttons, but, you know, it's like I said, I'm an open book, man. Because it's like trolls, you know, they'll say something about your daughter that's disrespectful just to get. But I can't even. There's no way. That's like talking to God, man. That's like talking to God and saying he made something that's not perfect.

Right. Ain't no troll can say nothing that's not perfect. Right. Ain't no troll can say nothing that's going off. You know what I'm saying? Like, it might, if they catch me slipping, like, I'm like running,

like, just hopping in an Uber real quick, hitting the J real quick, and just looking like, and that guy snap. I'm like, yo, come on. That's Z. Like, you know what I'm saying?

That's my most perfect anything. Like, she, she, you can't really troll Z. Right. Now, your album was supposed to come out next week, and you pushed it up. Isn't it nice in this day and age you could actually do something like that? We weren't sure it was going to happen. Nah, wouldn't it hold, dude, back in the day?

That's a hard thing to do, though. Yeah, when his album leaked, he pushed it up. But now there's nothing. Well, which one was that? Volume 2? Yeah. But did he push it up? Like, the week, like, the day of?

Like, okay, we're going to put it out right now. Because basically, yesterday you were like, I'm going to put it out at we're gonna Put it out right now Cause basically Yesterday you were like I'ma put it out at midnight Yeah well right now Well we tried to get The particulars Like you know I kinda like

I kinda forced it I was saying a little bit Like I kinda forced it Like man let's just Let's do it Because you know I'm about to go on tour You know my tour is like

90% sold out I think Arizona Is like the only joint That ain't Arizona Come on Arizona What are you doing? What are you doing? But like, you know, I'm like man nah. And like the thing about this album, it's like this joint is all about my fans dog.

Like I've always talked about what makes me happy. What am I looking for? And like I kind of got an idea of it now and um, album, I just had the most positive life changing thing happen to me and I just wanted to project something that doesn't seem so serious right now. There's enough serious music out right now. There's enough. Well you did it on Rick Ross' album with the Trap Trap Trap joint. But with these records, you always get a lot of great feedback from radio, but I'm getting even more feedback from radio in the club

because usually your records are, certain records are big on radio, but I can't play them in the club. But now with these records, I'm playing them in the club, which is a great thing. Okay. Now, how was your and Meek's relationship? Because I've seen at the listing party for Rick Ross, you guys were cool, you were taking pictures.

Did y'all ever have a conversation or did y'all laugh it off and be like, I think at this point, man, it's me and Mick is so Gucci, though. I mean, we don't talk every day. You know what I'm saying? But we're not fake, though. You know what I'm saying? I can't speak for no other crews, though. But it's just like, when people

in hip-hop, you appreciate authenticity. You know what I'm saying? We almost real to a fault. You feel me? Whereas our I feel it just got public like That's that's the good and bad when it were like when I'm mg Like that's the good and bad you know saying like we like a real family like you know saying you argue with your brother You argue with your sister you argue with your mother sometimes I'm done conversations stay in or you could matter fatless perfect example

You could be in school with one of your siblings Right Right And then Be with them In school In front of everybody You know what I'm saying And then be Go home

And not talk to them Like come on What you not gonna You gonna go the rest of your life Not talking to your family It's just one of them situations Alright we got more with Wale When we come back

Keep it locked It's the Breakfast Club Good morning Wale is in the building His album is out right now. Now, we heard J. Cole take a shot at you on the record, and you fired back, and then you guys were at the game with each other. Right.

Were you surprised when you heard J. Cole's record? We'll play it. I didn't really think that was a shot. I didn't think it was a shot. I'm going to tell you why. Let's talk about what exactly he said. You want to play it first, or let me tell you this first? It'll play now.

I got a homie, he a rapper, and he want to win bad. He want the fame, the acclaim, the respect that's been had by all the legends. It'll play now. The night before that joint came out, right, I'll never forget it. I was in Largo at Lito's Pizza. And, you know, me and my daughter's mother, we're not together but we've always been we always, at the worst we're best friends, you know what I'm saying and I was talking to Cole

I was like, man I was just talking about like you know, some things that was happening at home, just on some homie you know what I'm saying and Cole always give me good advice, you know what I'm saying? Like, he wanted, like, he like, I consider him a real friend, you know what I'm saying?

And he was just telling me, like, he was giving me game, you know? We talked for maybe 45 minutes that night. Right. You know what I'm saying? And he never mentioned it one bit. Never mentioned it one bit. That night, I went to VA to go watch some high school basketball. I went with my mans.

And then we went to like three clubs that night. And I got fired. And I didn't want to drive back all the way to my house. So I stayed in the city. I woke up. I had like 30 missed calls and like 40 text messages. Right. So at this point, I was like, I don't know what to expect.

Right, right, right. So I hear that jump. You know what I'm saying? I start smoking, and I'm listening to that jump, riding around. And I'm just like, take me to the studio right now. And I just went to the studio and went right back in. I ain't text him. He ain't hear from me until I studio right now. And I just went to the studio and went right back in. I ain't text him. He ain't hear from me until

I put it out. You know what I'm saying? But that joint was done in about 10 hours after I heard it. When I thought about it, I thought because he got those ideas in his mind

because we so close. Right. You know what I'm saying? The only thing I was like a little bit like, hmm. He should have gave you a heads up. No, I don't want no heads up if he's on wax. You know what I'm saying? Well, maybe a little bit.

You know what I'm saying? If y'all consider each other real friends. Yeah, but I just, I don't know, man. I just feel like he felt that way. And I think the only bad thing is that that might set have a narrative that might set a narrative for people who don't really know me right because at the end of the day false prophets got way more listeners than groundhog day so a lot of people don't even know that i responded or whatever like the awareness isn't the same you know what i'm

saying and um i don't know i just feel like a lot of our personal conversations were put into that record a little bit. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, I be having stuff on my mind, you know what I'm saying? And he's the person that I go to because I don't really trust nobody, man. Do you still trust him now after that? Yeah, I think he just did it his way. Cole is different, man. Did he try to him now after that? Yeah, I think he just did it his way. Cole is different, man. He think he tried to get through to you by doing it this way?

Well, he gets through to me when we talk, but I just think he took a lot of like, you know, a lot of my bottled up feelings that I was telling him and like took it as like, you know, this is how it is to everybody, but that's not the case, you know what I'm saying? At the end of the day, like me and Cole always not the case, you know what I'm saying? At the end of the day, like, me and Cole always

gonna be friends, you know what I'm saying? We always gonna be friends. We came in and just young together. We was broke together, you know what I'm saying? Like, if I was in your position, I would have, I wouldn't, I'd be able to be like, oh, such and such, man, you tripping, man. Life's good. It's all good.

Right. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, you talk about, like, you know, you don't appreciate your fans and this and that. And I was just like, well, you know. Because a lot of people might look at his song and start believing that. Yeah, that's what I was worried about. And maybe a little bit, but it's just like this. Right now, in my life, dog, when I have my daughter, I checked up on a lot of things. I'm saying I'll be a little bit ambiguous with this so I don't get no trouble.

But I checked up on a lot of things like where every dollar is going. Like, you know what I'm saying? I remember like the day after I had Z, I was checking up where every dollar is. Because that's just like the smack in the face from God to just get everything in. Just a double check. And a lot of shit was fucked up. And I'm just like, let me leave it right there. Because I saw you tweeted something about that.

I don't want, you know, because right now, even as we speak, man, there's somebody that was in my crew that's been stealing money. He's on the, what they call it, on the loose, what do they call it? At large. He's at large. He's at large. He's at large right now. He's scamming people, doing whatever, using my name,

selling records, and you know what I'm saying? And low key, that played a small part into me trying to move the album up because I know he got a lot of sessions

and you know what I'm saying? He's been hitting people up about having verses that you like. Yeah, yeah. And he's doing that petty stuff and he's like, you know I'm not going to tell them peoples. And you know, I'm not the type.

Like, that's another thing. I mean, it puts you in a bad predicament. You don't want to tell the peoples. But then if you send somebody over to go beat them up, he's going to sue you. So it's a little bit of a situation. I dropped like 40 because I rumbled somebody last year. Right. I had to do 40 in a brown bag just so I didn't go to court or get none of my people in trouble.

Right. Now, you were one of the first people to court or get none of my people in trouble. Right. Now, you were one of the first people to sign to Roc Nation. Yeah. Thank you. Before Roc Nation was really up and running.

It was S. Carter at Enterprises. S. Carter back then. S. Carter, Enterprises, yep. And it didn't work out for you so well.

Mm-hmm. But now it seems like they got their issue. Now it seems like the machine is working well. Did you ever have that conversation like possibly going back

or not at all? I was, I actually tried to. You were struggling with it. I actually tried to that conversation like possibly going back or not at all? I actually tried to. I actually tried to. I tried to go back, man, because like I said, I had bad people with me. You know what I'm saying? And things just was not getting done. I'm just now, just, any manager watching this, check this out. I'm just now, now in 2017,

just now, finishing the Splits for Gifted album. That's not my job. That's not my job, so I'ma just leave it out there, like, I'ma leave it out there, and I ain't gonna say nothing, like, you know, and I have to give you an example of, like, how my business was working. And me,

I'm the type of person that, when the when I feel the business not right, it affects my creativity. Right. You know what I'm saying? And, you know, I wanted to do the Roc Nation thing, you know, for a while. Maybe one day, you know, we figure it all out. But I remember touring with J. Cole and I did the whole tour.

And I, in fact, went up two days before the tour was over. I owed money. After the tour? After the tour. I owed money. Wow. I was in the hood.

But you brought out a lot of people, a band to make everything. Yeah, but... And you had to pay for that out of pocket. That's crazy. But oh, though. You know what I'm saying? Like, at least break even. Right. At least be black. You know what I'm saying? Like, at least break even.

At least be black. You know what I'm saying? That sounds crazy. I'm going to go. Like, new edition. Wale, I want you to go to take the train to D.C. We're trying to sign this boxer. Oh, yeah, I got you.

Yo, Wale, we're trying to sign this artist. I want you to take her to the Super Bowl. Yeah, I got you. Oh, yo, yo, what's Kevin Durant people number? Like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just thought, like, you know, that jump meant more than just doing it.

Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know if I... I didn't have no number in my mind, but I'm like... I'm just thinking, like, though, I'm straight. Like, I'm good. Like, everything's

going to be straight. You feel me? You were scouting for that stuff. You were helping them build their company. I don't want to... I think this, too, it was a... They didn't really know what they were doing at the time. I don't want to.

They didn't really know what they were doing at the time. I feel like you'd be like, man, you really hooked me up. You came through. Thank you. Here's a little something for, you know, just for making that happen. But like I said. That's like a courtesy. I mean, like everybody, but it's business at the end of the day.

And then, you know, and one thing I know about B-Hot, Tata, Jay, everybody, they're great businessmen. And maybe I was just thinking like, okay, these are my friends and it's business. But maybe they was like, okay, it's business and that's my little man. You know what I'm saying? So it was business first to them. I learned from that. And I'm going to always make sure my business is right. All right, we got more with Wale.

When we come back, let's get to a Wale mini-mix. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was a Wale mini-mix. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club.

Wale is in the building. Yee? Let's get a little bit personal for a second before you get out of here. Wale. Here we go. So do you think that ideally in your head things could work out with you and your daughter's mother? Yeah, I think it could. But right now, man, like we so focused on getting our own lives right and most importantly making sure Z's straight.

You know what I'm saying? My daughter's mother is one of the most, I'm so amazed by her. We was in that labor for 40 hours. She didn't take no medicine, nothing. She wasn't really cussing me out like that. One thing I can say, I don't know how everybody do or anything, but my thing is, with birth, any mothers or expectant mothers watching this, like, look into a birth center.

Look into going to a birth center. You know what I'm saying? That's going to sound crazy, but explain to people what a birth center is a birth center a birth center is kind of like a spa kind of like kinda it's not a spa like it's not like a pampered joint but it's like you they pamper you more right all right let me give you an example when we was giving birth at like hour 37 we had to go to the hospital because it was like too much it was too long My daughter's mother she was pushing was put like you know saying and I'm rubbing shoulders like breeze breeze like the rain and um the lady at the hospital And now you understand I'm on my bag now don't say nothing. I don't like the lady. I was like yo

Come on push push man. You're not even trying whoa she, you're not even trying. Whoa. That's what she said. You're not even trying. I said a bitch about... Her father, Roberto, Roberto grabbed me. He was like, don't... And I just had to leave. Like, you're not even trying. But everybody caught that.

Like, 37 hours later, she's not even trying. What you mean we're not even trying? You better come up with something different. That's a crazy thing to say. But that's when I was like, y'all don't care. Y'all I was like, y'all don't care. Y'all don't care.

Y'all don't care. And then when my daughter was born, right, another thing is, when you don't do the meds and stuff like that, I think the babies be more alert when they come out. Yeah, they do say that. So my daughter, like, when she was coming out, never forget it. So Chloe's right here. I'm like, I come out like this.

Zyla was moving around like on some Stevie Wonder. She was looking around and jump. As soon as her eyes locked, I was like. And I just fainted. And I started crying. You fainted? I was crying. Crying, dog.

My eyes was puffy. And I never experienced that. It was like catching the Holy Ghost or something, man. I never experienced that feeling. And I was drunk at that point. Because'm like, you know, like, that was 40 hours. When the water broke, I started sipping. Like, that joint was 40 hours. So I remember I went outside, man.

I just was like, but when I dropped like that, I was crying. And I didn't even want to touch her. I was like, in my mind, I was like, yo, I'm not good enough to even touch you. I'm not even good enough. I'm not good enough. I'm so flawed that I don't even want to bring my... That's the first thing I started thinking about. I was crying. I feel like it was

more so because I was like, man, I'm not even good enough for you. I'm not good enough. You're so pure and innocent. I started thinking about all my problems, all the things that I got going on with me and she's looking at me like and i'm just like yo i'm not good enough and i just kept crying and uh but back to the hospital she okay she gave she gave uh chloe the baby then took the doll out and started passing her to everybody else. You were like, um.

I said, all right. I just left. I left the joint. That's when I called people. I didn't even touch my daughter. I was like, you know. A part of me was a little bit scared, but like, you ain't even going to offer me to hold my seat. You know what I'm saying?

So I went back in and all that. And then I was just like, yo. You know, I was like, everybody caught that too, right? You know what I'm saying? So I went back in and all that. And then I was just like, yo. You know, I was like, everybody caught that too, right? You know what I'm saying? Like, she was on some whole, like, you know, like, we was a number in this mother. You know what I'm saying? And that's when I was like. Well, you didn't call her a bitch, you know?

No, no, I didn't say. I was stopped before I did. Okay, all right, all right. No, I was stopped before I did. But, you know, I just recommend everybody have a doula or, like, a specialist. And if you can, get a birth center. You know what I'm saying? Okay.

I think maybe we should probably, well, that'll probably make me want to have babies. What's that? But I was just thinking, like, you know, like, the lower, lower income places, like, you know, have, like, doulas come teach women about the process and all that and, like, medicine and all of that. I don't know, but I just be like, you know, because there's a lot of shit going on in our communities. Again, like, my daughter was alert then, and she's so alert now.

Right. I feel like it's the difference. I know, like, she got good smart people genes and shit like that. Smart people genes. You know what I'm saying? Genius genes. She was, she was, she, it just was different, man. How old is she now?

She'll be, she'll be one years old in July. July 22nd is her different, man. How old is she now? She'll be one year old in July. July 22nd is her birthday. I don't know. It's like eight months. Wow. Well, the album is out right now. You're going on tour. We appreciate you for joining us, man.

Come through. F*** with us, man. EBM. The album is out right now, Sean, and go get it. It's The Breakfast Club. Wale!

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

It's the Rumor Report. The Breakfast Club. Well, according to reports, Carmelo Anthony wants to get Lala back. I guess he's feeling some remorse now from allegedly having it. Listen, the rumor is that he's having a baby by somebody else. Other people are saying that's not true. We don't really know. Allegedly, we'll say. Right, so allegedly, but he is trying desperately to talk Lala out of leaving

him. Now he's been blowing her phone up according to TMZ. He's been apologizing saying that he's still madly in love with her offering to take her on vacation. Just anything for her to take him back. You know how you really know? He's been liking all her pictures on Instagram. As he should.

She should fight for his marriage. Lala's a great friend of mine. She's a great woman, and marriage is a beautiful thing. Mello and Lala got a good thing going together. Mello had to get some things out of his system, I guess, allegedly. And now you get your marriage back on track. And no relationship or marriage is perfect.

They need constant working on, so hopefully they can get it back together. And by the way, when a man gets scared straight, he will be a good man after that. We'll be scared forever. The men in this room can attest to that. That is a fact. You'll be scared.

Men in this room. It's fine. We've been scared straight. It happens. You need that every now and then. Well, no, you need it once. Not every now and then. Yeah, you need it once. You need that every now and then. Well, no, you need it once. Not every now and then. Yeah, you need it once.

Yeah, not every now and then. You need it once. Calm that down. All right, so we will see what happens. And I'm sure she's been posting some amazing pictures. Power's about to start soon on her birthday. And I'm sure he saw those pictures. Double tap that.

All right. Kim Kardashian is saying that the robbery in Paris was meant to happen to her. And in a way, it sounds like she thinks it's a good thing that it happened. It actually changed her. Here's what she said. I feel like that was so meant to happen to me. Like, I'm such a different person. Yeah.

You can cry. It was meant to happen to me. Like, the things, I really feel like things happen in your life to teach you things. And this was like, I'm just. Thanks. I was, you know, it was probably no secret you see it on the show and it's being flashy. Like I was definitely materialistic before. And like, I'm so happy that my kids get this me

and that this is who I'm raising my kids. Cause I just don't care about that stuff anymore. All right. I can do it to you sometimes. Right. And you know what, to keep it real, like sometimes really unfortunate things that happen in our lives are actually beneficial in the long run.

You might not see it right when it happens, but when you reflect on life and changes that you might have made due to whatever happened to you, sometimes it could help you be a better person. Great advice to give women when they get cheated on. Great advice, she. I love that. That's not what I was talking about.

I mean, there's people that end up making a lot of money, going broke, but they learn a lot from that experience. There's people that give their all in a relationship, end up getting cheated on and left. And both people learn a lot from that. You learn more from failure than success. Sometimes you need to get robbed and cheated on to really understand what's important in life. But you really learn the most from other people's failures. That's ideal in life. But you really learn the most from other people's failures. No. Well, I think, yeah,

I think you learn a lot from your failures too, though. Experience is the best teacher. Ideally. But sometimes it's great to not have to go through something because someone else did it. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

All right, DJ Khaled is filming a scene for the new Spider-Man movie. That's pretty exciting. That's dope. I mean, what more can I say about that? DJ Khaled, Spider-Man,

he's been doing big things. He looks more like say about that? DJ Khaled, Spider-Man. I'm going to be honest. He's been doing big things. He looks more like a penguin. He should try out for the next Batman. All right, whatever. Well, congratulations to him, though. He was on Snapchat. Drop one of those bombs for iHeartRadio's own DJ Khaled.

He's not iHeartRadio's own. I can't tell. Well, he was on Snapchat, and he actually brought his following onto the quote-unquote top secret set. Okay. So that's how we know that's going down. All right? I'm Angela Yee, and that's, he brought his following onto the quote-unquote top secret set. Okay. So that's how we know that's going down, all right? I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor report. All right, so let me dunk it today.

Who you giving that dunk to? Oh, man, I haven't given it to this man in a long time, but he needs to come to the front of the congregation. He actually stays at the front of the congregation. His name is Donald Trump. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the day. It's the donkey of the day. It's the donkey of the day. It's the donkey of the day.

That's pretty funny. Charlamagne the devil? Possibly. The Breakfast Club. Donkey of the Day for Friday, April 28th goes to the man who some of you guys voted as the 45th president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.

And the J will forever stand for jackass. Now, nobody has received donkey of the day more than our celebrity in chief, Donald Trump. And we have listeners who feel like we slandered Donald Trump too much, but the reality is he earns each and every one of these hee-haws. Now, tomorrow marks 100 days since Donald Trump has been president of the United States

of America, and a lot of us wish we had a 100-day warranty on Trump. I wish there was a manufacturer who could repair the defects of our president free of charge, but it's not. The reason it's not, because this damage was caused by us, and like most warranties, they don't repair damage. You caused yourself, and we did it. Or should I say y'all who voted for him did it. Y'all caused this damage.

Now I can hear you Trump supporters out there saying, there you go hating on my president again Charlemagne. But it's not hating if it's the truth. I would love to report that Trump's first 100 days were amazing. Why wouldn't I? I'm an American. I want this country to win. I want us to have great leadership, but no.

That is not the case. Okay, here in his first hundred days, Trump has made no significant progress on any major legislation. He doesn't even have a full staff yet. It's been almost a hundred days, and he has made just 50 nominations to fill the top

553 positions of the executive branch as of today. He hasn't even nominated anyone for 90% of his top jobs, okay? There is not a business in America that will prosper if 90% of its top leadership positions aren't filled. And let's be clear, America is a business. What else? Trump has no clear foreign policy.

He's by far the least popular new president in the modern polling era. His approval rating is 41%, according to FiveThirtyEight.com. All other elected presidents since Roosevelt have had an approval rating of at least 53% after 100 days. And not to mention, the Trump administration has more scandal than any previous administration. No new administration has dealt with something like the Russia investigation. The moral of the story is if the President of the United States of America was a job where you had to be

on a 90-day probation period before your employment is a go, Trump wouldn't get this job. Now, the reason Donald Trump is getting donkier today is because he recently was reflecting on his first 100 days in office, and he said that he thought the job would be easier he said that he thought that the job of the leader of the free world was going to be easier now i'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary one of

my eight principles in my book black privilege is give people the credit they deserve for being stupid including yourself and when it comes to some things i'm very stupid but if it's one thing i know for sure and two things I know for certain, never in the history of life have I looked at a president of the United States of America and said, yeah, his job looks easy. I know all of this sounds unbelievable, so that's why I'm glad we have the audio.

Play the clip. Well, I love my previous life. I had so many things going. I actually, this is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier. I actually, this is more work than in my previous life. I thought it would be easier. I'm a details oriented person. I think you would say that. I like to work, so that's not a problem, but this is actually more work. While I had very little privacy in my old life, because you know, I've been famous for a long time. This is, this is much less privacy than I've ever seen before. He really sounds like more of a first lady than a president.

I've heard first ladies complain about stuff like that, but never a president. He said he's in this cocoon and he's got this massive protection around him. Yes, we call that the Secret Service. You miss driving because you like driving? Well, resign from being the president and go be an Uber driver. Dear Donald, we all miss your old life. We all miss when you was living your old life. Yes, Donald, being the leader of the free world is a much more difficult

job than being a real estate or hotel mogul. And we should not be upset with you. We would not be upset with you in the least bit if you decided that being president was too much for you. In fact, we would appreciate if you decided to relinquish your position. See, here's the thing. What does your uncle Charlotte tell you all the time? Kids,

live your truth so nobody can use your truth against you. When you own whatever it is you have going on with you, people can't really slander you for it. If you were to come out right now and say, look, I'm in over my head. I'm not qualified to be president. It's overwhelming. Way too much for me to be dealing with at this point in my life. We would all collectively say yes. We knew that already and you never should have been president to begin with, but that would be it. We would just clown those who voted for you

and keep it moving. Do you realize the massive ego someone has to have to think that being president of the United States of America is an easy job? The follow-up question to him saying that it should have been, when he said he didn't know being the president was going to be so hard, the follow-up should have been, well, on a scale of one to executive producer of Celebrity Apprentice,

how hard did you think it was going to be? See, this is the main problem I have with Donald Trump. I don't care how many bombs he drops or who he threatens on social media. Nobody respects him. And that's a problem. In the 48 laws of power, law 5, I believe it says reputation is the cornerstone of power. Through reputation

alone, you can intimidate and win. Once you slip, however, you are vulnerable and will be attacked on all sides. So you should make your reputation unassailable. Always be alert to potential attacks and thwart them before they happen. Meanwhile, learn to destroy your enemies by opening holes in their own reputations.

Then stand aside and let public opinion hang them. That's in the 48 laws of power. But see, that's what's happening to Donald Trump. He's open to potential attacks because we have watched him slip so much that he's vulnerable now. And there's so many holes in his reputation. And now people are just standing aside and letting public opinion hang him. That's not the position the president should be in. 100 days down, 1,360 more days to go.

Please give Donald Trump the biggest hee-haw. Yikes. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Man, when you sign up for something, be careful what you wish for. Absolutely. Who knew that being president would be tough? Yeah, right.

Everybody that ran for president. When we come back, we have the CEO of Shea Moisture. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are The Breakfast Club. We have the CEO of Shea Moisture in the building. The founder and CEO. Founder and CEO.

Yes, the latest man to get jumped by black women on social media. Absolutely. You felt that wrath? I know the building. The founder and CEO. Founder and CEO. Yes, the latest man to get jumped by black women on social media. Absolutely. You felt that wrath. I know the feeling. But he felt like it was justifiable and you did issue an apology. Yeah, we've always stood for black women in the black community and we acknowledge that

ad, although it was it went out, it was, you know, it didn't get caught, didn't go through our approval process. We acknowledged it. We owned it. We stand up and say, yeah, it's not what we intended to do. Well, what exactly happened? Because I was confused.

People were hitting me like, you got to give Shea Moist a donkey today. I didn't understand. Even when Angela reported the story yesterday, I still didn't get what was going on. Yeah. We're doing a much broader campaign, right? And the campaign is called Everybody Gets Love. And the whole idea was in this environment of where there's so much hate. Let's talk about how you turn hate into love.

So outside of just African women, just everybody. African women. African American women. African American women. What? women. African American women. Outside of African American women. Outside of African American women, you wanted to go to every type of woman out there. The idea

was that, hey, all of these different women have different need states. Pair issues. Pair issues, right? We weren't trying to talk about cultural issues or whose struggle issues. That's not what the intent was. The intent was, hey, you've got these different issues, you've been dealing with them, let's have a conversation about them and let's put them out there.

And black women in the natural hair movement, that's how we've moved this, collectively moved this movement forward is talking about the different issues. And so out of these 60 pieces of content, each of them had different hair types, if you will. This particular piece, the diversity of hair types that were in there did not include, as the rest of them did, a woman with thick curly hair or a dark-skinned woman, you know, wasn't represented in that piece. The natural hair struggle. So it was supposed to be a commercial for natural hair. It was a commercial about women and their different hair types and what they do to overcome

the challenges that they have with those different hair types. Right. But certain women with different challenges with their hair have challenges not just with doing their hair, but also in the workplace. Certain people feel like they've been targeted or fired or told they can't wear their hair a certain way when they come in the workplace. Certain women feel like their hair struggles are different than just the struggle of, oh, my hair is blonde, I shouldn't have dyed it.

You know. Agreed. And that's a different struggle. And that's a different struggle. And that's what we came out and said, hey, you know, number one, we should have made sure that that hair type was represented. Right. Number two, we were not trying to communicate this hair struggle is equal to this hair struggle because you're right there

are different cultural issues that we deal with right it wasn't that deep it was a superficial kind of doing your hair it was it was just about doing your hair right right and and and in hindsight in hindsight we should have spoken directly to, we should explain what the campaign was, because I think it got sort of dropped out of context. And that particular piece that didn't have everything that should have been in there and complete, it was incomplete. Right. And then it got it got dropped out of context so that the whole campaign or the whole idea

behind the campaign was never was never released. But that's really besides the point. What is the point is that we're a brand that have stood for this community. And we're going to continue to stand for this community. And we're going to make mistakes. And when we make those mistakes, we're going to own them. Now, in the commercial, there were no black women in the commercial? There was a black woman.

Yes, she had curly hair, but it wasn't the thicker texture. I thought he was married to the white women in the commercial. I think it was the lack of representation of the women who have supported Shane Walsh from the beginning. Shane Walsh is known in the black community as this is our product. Didn't y'all do mad commercials though?

What I think we have to keep remembering is that when we stand for this community and as we broaden that, as we broaden the reach of the brand and the community because we have to in order

to continue to grow, we also can never forget what we mean to this community, right? And who who's gotten us thus far and we have to continue to stay focused on her and represent her everywhere that we are. Why do black companies always feel like

they have to make everybody comfortable? Why we just can't be with each other? I feel like we're all we need. Why do we feel like, oh, we got to add a white person in the commercial to make it broader? Why do we feel that way? What has happened is Shea Moisture is the brand that have brought, that have been alongside black women in the struggle for the past 25 years

around natural hair. Right. And we're the brand that has stood up for them and said, hey, those same things that you were talking about, Angela, you should be able to wear your hair as it grows out of your head, wherever. And we've been on record as we were the first company that was doing national commercials saying that and doing things like that. Right, because think about how people say about black women, oh, you nappy-headed hoe and stuff like that.

Like things that black women go through with their hair are very separate from what other women of other ethnicities go through. It's not just a black woman thing, though. But we've made it called nappy-headed all the time. Well, we're focusing on women now. The campaign was about women. But we provided that platform for women, right, for black women, and they want to make sure that we don't give that platform up for them. And so as we broaden, there's that concern.

And we're reassuring. We're not doing that. That's not what we're trying to do. This wasn't executed the way that we wanted it executed. And so they're they they they rightfully got upset. We have more with the CEO of Shea Moisture. Keep it locked. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. We have the CEO and one of the founders of Shea Moisture, Rich Dennis, in the building. But you want to expand.

I mean, I guess you're saying you just don't want one clientele. You're expanding, broadening not just your core, but seeing who else can use your product. But we want to go forward with our core. We want our core to move forward with us, right? We don't want to move on without them them and we don't want them to feel like we're moving on without them. So that's the first thing. But the second thing to answer your question,

why you have to expand. As a black business, we've built businesses to a certain point and then we don't have the resources to move those businesses to the next level. We don't have the resources to continue to innovate. And then what happens is when the broader, the larger companies understand the size of the opportunity of the market, they start investing it, right? So what you see now is you see other,

other, you know, companies that, that, that, that hadn't played in this space before are now rebranding their, their products to, to speak to you. They're, they you. They're changing up their marketing and their commercials. They have bigger budgets. They have bigger budgets. They have more money. And the way that we can compete is by growing, right? Going to their territory. Right?

And if we're not allowed to do that, then what happens is that most of us sell. I mean, if you look at what's happening in the marketplace today, they're not in the top 10 of black hair care, right? There's only two black-owned companies. No, I get it. I get what you're saying from that standpoint, because even with certain places, like for my daughter, trying to find Shea Moisture in certain areas is very difficult because they're not in certain areas. So you see companies, let's say like Paul Mitchell,

who start doing stuff for African American women and for my daughter, and it's easier to find. So they gotta touch that territory. It's backwards thinking, though, because they'll get upset if you put two white women in the commercial. But somebody like a Paul Mitchell will put all black people in the commercial, but it's a white

owned company. So it don't make any sense, really. The whole dynamic of how this came together was not consistent with the dynamic that we've built on. And so I think that's one of the reasons that women are very upset. And to that, we've said, hey, don't let, you know, this one particular incident, right, that we've owned up to, right, and it wasn't done with malintent,

don't let that erase the 25 years that we've built with you. It's still a black-owned company. We've got to continue to share with them that we are still a black-owned company. The company is still run by my family, right? It's still the leadership positions, the head of marketing is black, the head of communications, the head of innovation.

So the responses have been so great and so rapid and so quick to say, hey, let's not support this company that has supported us all this time. Let's say, hey, you know, and then, you know, and then talking about our employees, which really isn't fair because our employees didn't, you know, didn't make this decision. These, you know, the people that are being target weren't even in that department, didn't have anything to do with it. Social media is extremely harsh. I guess people felt a little like, okay, now you used us and then you

left us behind just because of this one. This is one. Two white women. How many white women was it? Two. Two white women out of 25 years and they don't have the cachet for people to be like, oh, we still rock with them. That's a little disappointing to me. But I think it's great that you

can say it was a mistake. We apologize for what it is. that's why I'm sitting here. That's why I'm sitting here. I started this business selling soap on the streets of New York. Right. I've been rocking black soap. That's right. You know, I've been I've been I've been rocked.

I've been I've been rocking hard for black women all my life. Right. You know, I got four daughters. I want them to have a great experience when they go into retail. Right. Right. When they go shop. Right. I want them to have the products that they need. But I also know that in order for us to continue to provide that. Look, you tell me one other one other beauty company out there, a hair care company out there that takes, you know, reinvest millions of dollars back into the community after we've made the sale. Not marketing to the community, sending people to college, sending people to executive ed programs.

You know, almost 15,000 women. And I mean, stop and think about it. You're going to boycott a company that's rocked with you all these years, that did what they did, that acknowledged the issues and is aware of what the issues are. But that also has, you know, 15,000 women that they're trying to take out of poverty in West Africa and that they've been doing for the past 25 years. You're going to impact those people because we made one commercial that, and it wasn't even a commercial, it was a post that didn't hit the mark when we've hit the mark for you consistently.

And then the other thing is that then it's, oh, you know, the employees, you know, let's go. Let's go after the employees. Get it posted on a woman, like a white woman, like this is the woman. And it's so unfair to her because she had nothing to do with this. What is her roto? What is she? She's on the sales team. And she's on the sales team. And that brand strategy is for retail accounts.

So when she goes to, when we go talk to retailers, she's in she's in there helping with the strategy, what we put on shelf, how we get there. She had nothing to do with this commercial. She's not in that department. She's absolutely nothing to be targeted like that. Just it just isn't right. And I know our community is better than that. I just think that they hurt. And that's why I'm here.

I'm here to say, hey, right. I understand that we hurt you. I get our community is better than that. I just think that they hurt. And that's why I'm here. I'm here to say, hey, I understand that we hurt you. I get what it is. I feel the pain. But you can't destroy everything that we've all built together because of that. You can't focus on the negative, man. Black-owned businesses have white employees sometimes. And black-owned products will have white people in the commercial sometime I guess it's the way that people black people buy from

white owned companies all the time with no problem so that like I'm very supportive of same worship just because I've watched the whole come up and I think it's a great products anyway so why not just white people in the commercial with transracial? And say that they were really identified as black women. That's how I would have spun it. But it is something just to be sensitive about. And it is something to move forward when you just say, okay, I made a mistake. Something like that.

You know, obviously you have done a lot for people of color, for women of color in general. Just because we're growing as a business doesn't mean we're leaving our community. In fact, go look at the record. I've been doing this a long time. I'm still here. How do you feel about Trey Songz saying, I think he just didn't know. He riding with his sisters. Ain't nothing wrong with that.

I think he just didn't know. I don't know him, but we'll reach out to him and say, hey, this is what happened. I still don't know what the hell's going on, really. I'm just riding with the sisters. I don't know what's what happened. I still don't know what the hell's going on, really. I'm just riding with the sisters. I don't know what's going on. I really don't know what's going on. I'm going to be honest with you.

Maybe she should just do a commercial, have a car pull up with a white woman in it, car pull up with a black woman, white woman rolls the window down. Hey, do you have any Shea Moisture? And the black woman says, no, bitch, and drives off. Anyway, Rick Davis, we appreciate you for joining us. Thank you for stopping through and clarifying some of this stuff. Thank you. Thank you. I think, you know what?

I appreciate you guys and thank you for the support. And we're going to keep fighting and doing what we do to make sure that we do right by our core and that we have this business here to support the core going forward, as well as continuing to try to grow so we can continue to invest in our community.

All right. Well, we love you, black women. Oh, we love you, black women. All right. It's the Breakfast Club. It's Rich Dennis. The Breakfast Club. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee. The Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up.

Right, Ambie, that would be DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince are back. Really? So for the first time in 12 years, they'll be on the road together. Now, mind you, they're just doing two shows in Europe, but this could signal something more. You know how much money they must be giving Will Smith for him to go back to this? Well, they're doing MTV's Summer Blast Festival in Croatia. That's going to be August 26th.

And they're doing the Live Wire Festival in Blackpool, Northwest England the next day. So they made that announcement on Facebook. And they put up a vintage video as well. First two shows are locked. Y'all ready? And then Jazzy Jeff shared that video on Instagram. And it said, yep, and this is finally happening. Wow.

I need them to do one in Philly, though. That's what I need. Right. West Philadelphia. Born and raised. On the playground is where I spend most of my days. That's what I want. All right.

And Bobby Christina Brown, they have a TV one movie that is centered around her life. It's called Bobby Christina. It's an intimate look at the highs and lows of parental, familial, and romantic love complicated by fame through the eyes of a sensitive, vulnerable young woman. So they have Joy Rivera from Stuck in the Middle as the role of Bobby Christina.

Now Najee Jeter from Grown Up and is going to be playing Nick Gordon. Demetria McKinney is taking on Whitney Houston from Real Housewives of Atlanta. And my boy Haas from The Wire, a.k.a. Weebae, is playing Bobby Brown. Oh, boy. They have a picture out.

I don't know if you had a chance to see it. Let's see how Haas looks. Haas looking like Bobby Brown. Does he look like him? You've got to take a look at this picture. If you ever vote TV, you can see it. Oh, my goodness, I guess not.

Alright, now, what is up with this beef between Tretch and Peppa, or really just Tretch? Now, he posted a picture, a throwback, he said, throwback Thursday,

somebody tell my ex-wife, this old school rat, your book is full of lies, you press whore, you sold your soul to a hellhole, and put my kids in the middle for ratings.

Now, mind you, Peppa has a book called Let's Talk About Peppa, which I read years ago. So I guess she is doing a re-release of her book. Okay. And more copies are coming out and he must be upset about that. But that's a book that has been out and she does say some explosive things about their relationship. What happened to her?

Because I see him mad at, I guess she tried To sneak her daughter Into a club He also said In your mid 50s Trying to sneak My underage daughter In clubs on camera That's probably From that show

Growing up hip hop But his daughter Is a rapper also So you know Pepper's trying to get her in Because she's an artist Maybe wants to perform And stuff

Right not because She's going to drink She seems like a good kid So I think that's the reason why And if your mom Is there with you You know And then he said I tried to turn my kids on me When I had your back on And your ratness Seems like a good kid. So I think that's the reason why. And if your mom is there with you, you know. And then he said, tried to turn my kids on me when I had your back on and your ratness.

And I with them now, face and skin like Michael Jackson, heart and ass flat as pizza bread. He said, still effing industry and where it's younger than your children. Yeah, that's a person. I stay out of that one. You're like, I don't want no problems with Tretch. I have nothing to say. I don't want no problems with Tretch. I don't want no problems with Peppa.

I stay out of that one. Right. So he posted all of that. I mean, want no problems with Tretch. I have nothing to say. I want no problems with Pepper. I stay out of that one. Right, so he posted all of that. I mean, it's publicly out there now. All right, and get ready for us at iHeart for our Daytime Village.
