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

Danger. Danger. Danger.
Everybody come to the breakfast club. I call this the hot seat.
Y'all are wild.
Y'all are wild. Can I live? You are out of control. I can't even Hot Seat. You're alive. You're alive.
Can I live?
You are out of control.
I can't even deal with you.
Y'all are so petty.
Why are y'all so petty?
The world's most dangerous morning show.
DJ Envy.
Captain of this bitch.
Angela Yee.
I stay in everybody's business, but in a good way.
Charlamagne Tha God.
The ruler of rubbing you the wrong way.
The Breakfast Club.
Made for everybody.
Good morning, USA!
Hey! Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!
Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ
Amby. Charlamagne Tha God, I'm sure he'll be here in a second.
It's Tuesday! Yes, I woke up this morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DJ Amby. Charlamagne Tha God, I'm sure he'll be here in a second. It's Tuesday!
Yes, I woke up this morning, I forgot I don't have my car
because I had to bring in my car to get service yesterday.
They don't give you a rental car?
Well, I didn't know they were going to take it overnight.
Ah.
So the problem with my car was it kept shifting from drive into neutral
when I would start the engine.
And so I would be pulling out of a parking spot
and then all of a sudden
the car would just shift
into neutral and stop.
Right.
And that kept happening
so I had to finally bring it in
and they said there was
some type of malfunction
or something with the coils.
So they had to order the parts.
So they should be here today,
hopefully.
Oh, but usually they give you
a rental car or, you know,
allow you to use something.
I thought I'd get it right back.
A loaner or something though?
Okay. And I'm not, you know, one of to use something? I thought I'd get it right back. A loaner or something, though? Okay.
And I'm not, you know, one of my friends dropped it off for me,
so I thought that my car would be ready by the end of the day, no big deal.
I didn't feel like going through all that.
Okay.
I mean, it's cool.
I've been using Lyft and getting to work like that.
All right.
Well, shout to DeRez Deshawn.
He's on my second single.
It's called Hardaway.
Congratulations.
Hit a round of applause for him.
Yesterday, the record went top five in the country,
which is amazing.
The record also went gold, so that is dope.
So it feels really good because he's an independent artist,
unsigned artist, and we took that record and made it gold
and top five and it's still climbing the charts.
So I'm excited about that.
What the hell is my cut?
I feel like if my name is mentioned in a goddamn record
in any way, shape, or form.
No, they didn't.
No, we didn't take his name out.
They put auto-tune on it.
If my name is mentioned
in a record in any way,
shape, or form,
I should get a percentage
of it, okay?
Well, if you don't know
what we're talking about
in a record, he goes,
I was just in a Hummer
in New York looking
for Charlemagne.
Respect!
Now, does that mean
Hummer should get a check, too?
Because he mentioned Hummers.
No, first of all,
he should actually go to jail
for driving a Hummer
in 2018, okay? Wasting all that gas. Wasting all that gas should actually go to jail for driving a Hummer in 2018, okay?
Wasting all that gas.
Messing up the ozone layer, messing up the environment,
all right? Our producer has a Hummer.
I want him arrested, too, by the way. He got rid of it.
Oh, he did? He dropped one of Clues' bombs for
Eddie F. getting rid of that goddamn Hummer.
He got rid of it. I bought that up in a staff meeting one time.
You sure did. I did. And for no reason.
It was random. One of my grapes. Now, Charlamagne, you had
that old-ass Escalade. He did have that old-ass Escalade.
And it would always be a cloud of smoke. Oh, my grapes. Now, Charlamagne, you had that old-ass Escalade. He did have that old-ass Escalade. And it would always be a cloud
of smoke. Oh, my goodness.
Definitely, you should have went to jail for that. I still have the Escalade.
No, you don't. No, you don't. 2004.
You already told us you got rid of it.
$376,000. My dad wanted to buy it.
He should have bought it. Let me tell you about Charlamagne's
Escalade. So, you know, we all leave the building at the same
time, right? Every time Charlamagne
would start that Escalade, you talk about
smoke screen. And?
I mean, he would smoke the block up. He wouldn't
have to worry about anybody seeing him because the whole block
would be smoking. I am so glad you got rid of it.
I couldn't wait for like 20 minutes.
Absolutely. Who said I got rid of it? If you see a
2004 white escalade driving through the city,
okay, that's me. He don't have
it no more. I was just driving through the city
in a white escalade looking for God.
Alright? My goodness.
I need to find Jesus.
Well, this morning, Kenny Burns and Fawn Weaver will be joining us now.
Kenny Burns, of course, you might know him.
He's a host.
He used to work for Diddy.
He used to work for Dame Dash.
He's doing pretty well with himself.
And Fawn Weaver, they're the owner of a liquor company.
They started this liquor company, I believe, a couple years ago.
It's a whiskey.
Now, this whiskey started from, where did it start from? Black people. Black people created this whiskey, all right. It's a whiskey. Now, this whiskey started from...
Where did it start from?
Black people.
Black people created this whiskey, all right?
Yes.
Let's be clear.
The creator of it actually is the person who taught Jack Daniels how to make whiskey.
That's right.
Black man taught Jack Daniels how to make whiskey.
Jack Daniels told the idea.
But we'll have the whole story.
We don't want to tell it because I don't want us to mess it up.
Typical colonizer behavior.
My goodness.
They will be here with us this morning to tell that whole story of the whiskey and how it came about.
Right.
And why you can be proud of it.
Right.
Let's get the show cracking.
Front page news, what are we talking about?
We will talk about Linda Brown, the woman at the center of Brown versus Board of Education has passed away.
Okay.
We'll get into all that when we come back.
Get your ass up.
It's a Tuesday.
Good morning.
It's The Breakfast Club.
All right.
Bruno Mars, Cardi B.
Cardi B album out next week, April the 6th.
Dropping the Clues bombs for Bardi B.
That's right.
Ain't she on Saturday Night Live this weekend, too?
Next weekend.
Oh, next weekend.
Next weekend.
The day after her album comes out with Chadwick Boseman, South Carolina's own.
But the name of the album is Invasion of Privacy.
Right.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, let's get into some front page news.
Now, in sports, Odell Beckham, it looks like the Giants might be trying to trade him, which
is crazy to me.
It looks like the Los Angeles Rams want a piece of him, and they might be trading him
maybe for a first round pick and some other assets.
I thought you saw this coming, though.
Not really, because right now he's the face of the Giants.
I think he gives the Giants that energy.
He makes a lot of bad mistakes playing as a team member.
He's pretty young.
This is the last year of his rookie contract.
You got to stop saying he's young, man.
He's been in the league long enough and been around enough veterans to know how to maneuver.
You know this all started when he was on that damn boat shirtless with all them other dudes.
When Victor Cruz had the wool cap on.
Oh, I think this started when he got injured.
When he got injured, that's when they started talking.
Started on that goddamn boat when they was with Trey Songz.
That was the beginning of the end. So you're going to blame it on Trey Songz?
I ain't blaming it on Trey Songz. I'm just saying everything started going
downhill from that boat ride.
My goodness. Well, let's talk about
Linda Brown. Yes, rest in peace to Linda Brown.
She was 75 years old when she
died Sunday afternoon.
She was 9 years old back in 1951.
That's when her father, Oliver Brown, tried to enroll her
at Sumner Elementary School, which was an all-white school near her home.
They did block her enrollment, and that's when her father sued that Board of Education there, and that's where you get Brown v. Board of Education.
There were four other similar cases combined with her complaint and presented to the Supreme Court, and she will forever be a part of American civil rights history.
The court ruled back in May of 1954 that separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.
Yes.
So rest in peace to her.
Rest in peace to her.
Absolutely.
Linda Brown.
Now let's talk about a U.S. Army veteran.
He served two tours in Afghanistan and he has been deported to Mexico.
He's speaking from Tijuana.
Miguel Perez said that he's feeling well physically, but he's very confused.
He was escorted across the U.S.-Mexico border, and that is because he had a felony drug arrest. Now, he
says what he saw and experienced in Afghanistan sent his life off the rails, which led to heavy
drinking, a drug addiction, and ultimately to his felony conviction. It feels like he deserves to
get some treatment for PTSD. I mean, he served two tours
in Afghanistan. He has
children that live in the United States, two children
that were born in the U.S. His parents and his sister
are naturalized American citizens.
And he said after the second
tour, there was more alcohol, and that was also when
I tried some drugs, but the addiction
really started after I got back to Chicago
when I got back home because I did not feel very
sociable. You can't give up on people like that, man.
I'm sure that man has been through some trauma.
When I sit down and talk to my therapist, I got PTSD,
and I've been through trauma, so I know he's got trauma.
Right.
That's a really sad situation.
You serve the country.
You've been here.
That's so crazy.
You suffer from PTSD.
You don't get any treatment, and then you get deported.
That's why I hate how America treats its veterans.
We treat them bad. We do. That's why when hate how America treats its veterans. We treat them bad.
We do.
What?
That's why when people get upset when people kneel for the flag, and I'm like, yo, y'all
talking about their disrespect in America by kneeling for the flag.
No, you're disrespecting America by the way you treat your veterans.
There should be no homeless veterans whatsoever.
You should never see a veteran on the side of the road begging for change.
It's so sad.
At the least, they should get free housing and shouldn't have to pay taxes.
I hate seeing those signs.
I hate seeing the signs that say, I'm a vet, but I have nothing.
Those hurt my heart so much.
All right.
And Facebook, the Federal Trade Commission has confirmed they are currently investigating Facebook data practices.
And they said they take recent press reports very serious because they are raising substantial concerns about the privacy practices of Facebook. So what they did find out was that Cambridge Analytica,
which is a data firm with ties to President Donald Trump's campaign,
accessed information from about 50 million Facebook users without their knowledge.
So no protection of privacy here.
Here's what Mark Zuckerberg has to say.
I'm happy, too, if it's the right thing to do.
Facebook testifies in Congress regularly on a number of topics,
some high profile and some not.
So what we try to do is send the person at Facebook who will have the most knowledge about what Congress is trying to learn.
So if that's me, then I am happy to go.
What I think we found so far is that typically there are people whose whole job is focused on an area.
But I would imagine at some point that there will be a topic where I am the sole authority on and it will make sense for me to do it.
So they just hacked into 50 million people's accounts?
I don't even know if they hacked into it. They were just able to access that user information.
Talk about invasion of privacy. Drop on the clues box for Cardi B for being ahead of the curve.
That's why people have been deleting their Facebook. I know you guys saw the delete Facebook campaign.
My goodness.
I don't be on it. I should delete it. I've been one of the deleted. I've seen my father being so active.
My father sent me a link this morning.
I was like, you know what?
That's just a reminder to delete my goddamn Facebook.
Geesh.
All right.
Well, that's front page news.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent.
Hit us up right now.
Maybe you had a bad night and you just need to vent a little bit.
Or maybe you want to spread some positivity.
800-585-1051.
Hit us now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
Get it.
Pick up the mother, mother phone and dial.
This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.
Say it with your chest.
We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
So you better have the same energy.
Yeah.
Hello, who's this?
Hi, this is Audrey.
Hey, Audrey.
Get it off your chest, mama.
I am feeling very blessed.
My birthday is in two weeks, so I'm on my detox cleanse right now.
Okay.
And I wanted to say that I'm doing really good on my second day,
and I'm trying to hang in there and go strong.
What kind of cleanse, mama?
I'm doing a green tea diet and a green smoothie.
It's amazing how when the first day of spring comes,
everybody wants to detox.
What's her birthday?
She should have been doing that in the fall and winter
to be ready for the spring and summer.
No, her birthday's coming up,
and they actually say it's really good to do that
because it's probably, what is it?
Is it two weeks, you said?
Yes.
So, yeah.
You don't want to do that too early.
Why not?
You could have been on the beach somewhere in springtime.
Are you eating regular food, Mama?
No, I'm not eating any food,
so I'm just doing the green smoothies
three times a day.
Three times a day. Alright, well get a lot of sleep,
Mama. I will. Thank you.
Does your doctor give you supplements?
No, I'm actually on multivitamins.
And what did you hear about this cleanse?
Please don't say online. It's actually
a book called The 10 Day...
Oh, is that JJ Smith?
Yes. Oh, she's great. Yeah, she does great
detox with the green smoothie diet. I have that
too. Alright, well get it in, mama. Just remember
if you stay ready, you don't gotta get ready. Hello, who's this?
Hey, this is, it's a black
man. It's a black man. What's up? Get it off
your chest. Hey, it's a black man. What's good?
I'm assuming you're black. Hey, Angela.
You're correct. Okay.
He was trying to shoot his shot at Trav on Twitter,
but I don't know what happened.
Oh.
All right, what's up?
Trav, if you're listening, hit me up.
It's a black man, Facebook, Twitter, all that.
Hit me up.
All right, basically the reason why I'm mad
is because, Angela, you didn't talk about it yesterday,
so I'm going to talk about it.
I didn't appreciate how everybody was coming at your neck
on Sunday night saying how you don't do much
for the community.
And you do so, so much. Who how you don't do much for the community. And you do so, so much.
Who said you don't do much
for the community?
It was some girl on Twitter
that was mad
that Charlamagne had a hat
that she said it was her design
or something.
Why was she mad at you?
I don't know.
But yeah.
Listen,
listen,
it's a black man.
I appreciate your support.
It doesn't matter to me
because the people that know,
know.
The people who don't,
what can I say?
It's like,
if you talk about what
you do, everybody say, oh, she's just talking
about the forest fishing. And if you don't
talk about it, oh, she's not doing anything for
us. Like, damn, if you do, damn if you don't.
That's why you gotta just do it and not worry
about it. Y'all know Yee opened up a juice bar in Brooklyn
and employs a bunch of people from
the neighborhood. Y'all do know that. Well, and
today we do have our Black Girls Rockin' tomorrow.
We are doing Wealth Wednesdays
at the Juice Bar.
And yesterday,
I was at the Congressional Caucus
on Black Women and Girls
moderating a panel.
You do know she does a panel
at the Juice Bar
once a month
teaching people
how to help themselves financially
and all types of things.
But she don't do much.
She don't do much.
Sometimes you gotta let people know,
you know,
who they messing with.
That's all.
Every now and then.
But she don't do much.
No, listen, it's not,
you don't do things
to get credit for it.
I feel like you should just, I just do things because I want to help people.
You need to put out a rap song.
Put out a rap song.
You can only talk about what you do if you're a rapper.
Put out a rap song.
I give.
I give back.
That's it.
To BK.
Because I ain't whack.
Okay, all right.
Fart on BGMV, please.
Oh, and then somebody tried to say on Twitter, the juice bar is always empty.
That's why I go up the street.
I was like, okay, get healthy.
Do whatever you got to do.
I'm not, you know, I didn't open a juice bar just to make money.
It doesn't make a lot of money.
I did it because I wanted to help the neighborhood.
But now it's never empty, actually.
But anyway, get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Wake up, wake up.
Wake your ass up.
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed, we want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
Hello, who's this?
This is Brandy calling from Virginia.
Hey, Brandy from the 757.
Get it off your chest.
Brother, I just heard exactly what Charlamagne said about the vets.
I'm a prior active Air Force transfer to Army.
I just got out myself.
One thing about it, the military, they get you in, they brainwash you when they do drop you.
I worked for the VA as well.
He is absolutely correct, and free housing would be one of our best things.
And Trump is making sure that we do not get that.
They are actually trying to pass a bill that will stop all veteran care
and all veteran assistance.
I genuinely appreciate what you all are shouting out for us,
but they've forgotten about us.
We love you on this radio, brother.
They definitely have.
And the crazy thing, I was talking to my dad
because, of course, my dad was in the Vietnam War.
And he said after he came back,
he said he still couldn't find a job.
He said it was harder for him to find a job.
He was like, there was no work.
It was harder to get any type of work.
So he said the only thing that they had was federal jobs.
You know, he had to either, you know, work for transit, be a police officer or sanitation.
So, you know, he took, you know, working for a police.
To be honest with you, I don't even think veterans should have to work unless they want to.
I really think that they should get free housing.
They shouldn't have to pay taxes and they should get a stipend every month.
Like I get it.
I get bugged.
It bugs me out
when people say things like, oh, you're kneeling for the flag,
you're disrespecting America. But no, look how
America treats its veterans. That's the ultimate disrespect.
I agree. Hello, who's this?
Hi, good morning. It's your morning jogger. How are you guys?
Hey, good morning, jogger. Oh, you got us
on while you're running. Yes, I am.
I can hear your biker shorts rubbing together.
I can't
believe you could run and talk on the phone.
I can't do it.
Yeah, it's hard.
But, you know, I've been doing this for 16 years.
Where are you running?
Are you running outside?
Outside, I can hit a wind, right?
Outside, yeah.
Where at?
Where are you from?
In Boca, Boca Raton.
Okay, well, get it off your chest.
So, I'm really annoyed by the way they treat their vets here. My husband is a vet, and I'm telling you, man, they have to stop that crap.
It's not even funny anymore.
It was never funny, right?
Never at all.
They make it so hard for him to get an appointment.
At the end, he's got to be part of the road.
It's like, when are they going to correct the situation?
I don't know what you're mad about, but you're mad about something.
That I can make.
She said her husband's a vet, and they don't treat the vets well.
Oh, got you, got you, got you, got you.
How many more miles you got, mama?
I have two more miles.
I do eight miles every single day.
I'm 16 on Saturday and 16 on Sunday.
Oh, my gosh.
Get it in.
I'm 41 years old.
I hear a little West Indian in your voice
or is that just a tides?
No, I'm Jamaican all the way.
Oh.
Water go on.
Water go on.
Go get the water, brethren.
Yes.
Before you pass out.
I know, right?
Have a good morning.
See you, too.
Stop on mile three and get some Oxtail Green with a drink.
Yachty.
To all the Jamaicans out there, I apologize.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you're upset, you need to vent.
You can hit us at any time.
Maybe we need to do something big for Veterans Day this year.
Veterans Day is November 11th.
Mm-hmm.
The November 11th. We get started planning now. Let's think about what we want to big for Veterans Day this year. Veterans Day is November 11th. Mm-hmm. Then November 11th.
We get started planning now.
Let's think about what we want to do for the veterans this year.
Since America don't give a damn about the veterans.
But I think all year round, we should try to help make sure we put some policies that will help veterans.
Right.
All right.
Well, we got rumors on the way next year.
Yes, let's talk about Heineken.
They had to pull an ad.
It will tell you why.
Also, find out why Tiffany Haddish is all over the news and why the beehive is all in her comments.
Alright, we'll get into all that when we come
back. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ
Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne
God. We are The Breakfast Club. Hey. Happy
Tuesday to you. Hey. Now let's get to
these rumors. Let's talk Heineken.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
All right.
Well, Heineken has pulled an ad that they put out.
Now the tagline is sometimes lighter is better.
And a lot of people said that it was racist.
Now in this ad, a bartender is sliding a bottle of Heineken Light
to a woman that he sees across the bar,
but the bottle has to travel past several brown-skinned black people
before it arrives at the paler-skinned woman.
Now, Chance the Rapper went on Twitter, and he said,
I think some companies are purposely putting out noticeably racist ads
so they can get more views, and that is racist bogus,
so I guess I shouldn't help by posting about it.
But I got to just say, though, that sometimes lighter is better.
Heineken commercial is terribly racist.
You know, sometimes I look at Chance's tweets,
and I have to make sure they're not coming from a parody account
because he reaches often and he sends people into a frenzy with his tweets.
And oftentimes I don't think he has all the information.
Like last week when he tweeted,
it's a serial murderer in Austin killing black and brown people.
So when I saw him tweet about the Heineken commercial
I said here go chants.
And I did watch the commercial. What did you think?
I didn't see it yet. I watched it. I'm going to be honest with you.
I'm not that woke. I get my sleep.
I can see why it would be
an issue because the bottle does
go past a brown skin
black woman, a black
man, another black woman and then it
arrives to a woman who's the lightest person in the ad.
And the tagline is, sometimes
lighter is better. And even Heineken said...
Oh yeah, that's a little crazy. If that's the tagline...
And Heineken said, Heineken has developed diverse
marketing that shows there's more that unites us
than divides us. While we feel the ad is referencing
our Heineken light beer, we missed the mark.
Are taking the feedback to heart and will use this
to influence future campaigns.
It's a Heineken light commercial for Heineken light beer.
The only thing I thought when I saw the commercial was it was a lot of racial diversity.
Yeah, but when it says sometimes lighter is better and then the person that gets the beer is the only lighter person.
So if it was a dark skinned person it would have been better?
If it was a diverse group of people and it wasn't lighter is better and then a lighter person.
It was a diverse group of people though.
But the lightest person gets the beer.
So it should have been a dark-skinned person that got the beer.
It could, yeah.
It just felt like, okay, let's go past all these brown-skinned people
and get to the light person because lighter is better.
Hey, man, I try to get eight hours of sleep a night.
It seems kind of crazy.
I'm watching it now.
It could have been a fair-skinned person or a white person that it passed
because it passed all dark-skinned people.
I'm not that woke, man.
I get sleep.
I try to get eight hours of sleep a night.
I see what they're saying.
You can see the subliminal messages that it sends to people.
Yeah, I see it.
Sometimes letters better.
Let's go past all of the darker things and get to the better, lighter.
I thought they were talking about beer.
All right.
Well, we got to pay attention.
Now, DMX says that he is going to try to rebound from his addiction with some help from Jason Williams.
Now, he's trying to get some leniency from the judge when he gets sentenced for his tax evasion.
He has filed documents ahead of his sentencing, which is tomorrow,
and he wants to lay out this plan to keep him on the straight and narrow.
He said Jason has offered him entry into his rehab program, which is called the Rebound Institute.
Now, when Jason Williams was on The Breakfast Club, he described what happens in a typical day. They're with me for 45 days. And so we do something called outdoor adventure
therapy where, you know, we do scuba diving, we do base jumping, we do planes or skydiving. We do
all kinds of things to overcome anxiety and barriers. And we do it as a team. And then we
turn you over to our clinicians over at our 20,000 square foot place. And you go in there and I sit
in there with them,
and we get treatment right there from some of the best clinicians in the world.
And that's about 5 o'clock.
Then we go work out, and then we go catch an AA meeting, an NA meeting,
and then we go back, and we do that whole thing, you know, rinse, wash, repeat.
As a person who has anxiety, I don't see how skydiving will help you with your anxiety.
I guess it gets you over your fears.
The thought of skydiving gives me anxiety.
No, because I didn't want to do it.
You know, I jumped out of a plane.
I skydove, and I was like, hell no, never.
When I got up there, I was like, hell no, never.
But then after I jumped out, I was like, oh, it's not that bad.
I would do it again.
Oh, no, I get it because, you know, fear,
it can be an acronym for fear everything and run or face everything and rise.
But I ain't jumping out of no goddamn plane.
I'm sorry.
I mean, I wouldn't do it again.
You saw some video footage of things going wrong. That's the reason why.
I seen video footage of people dying, and I was like,
what the hell is wrong with me? I got kids. I got five kids.
I ain't jumping out of nothing. I just feel like I'm contradicting
myself when I get on a plane, and I pray for
the plane not to crash, but then I'm gonna go skydiving
and jump out of one. It's a great feeling.
Now, Tiffany Haddish has told some more
Beyonce stories. Now, she talks about
a mystery actress biting
Beyonce while they were all at a party together back in December.
She said Beyonce stormed away, went up to Jay-Z and was like, Jay, come here, this bitch and snatched him.
They went to the back of the room. I was like, what just happened?
And Beyonce's friend walked up and was like, can you believe this bitch just bit Beyonce?
So she said after running into Beyonce at the bar and confirming that she was indeed bitten by the actress in question.
That's when Tiffany Haddish said she got fired up.
She gonna get her ass beat tonight.
And she said, Tiffany, no, don't
do that. That bitch is on drugs. She not even
drunk. The bitch is on drugs. She's not like that
all the time. Just chill. Listen, man, who
bit Beyonce would make for a great board game
in the same vein as Clue or a nice
hip-hop whodunit movie? Who bit
Beyonce? Now, a lot of people
have responded because, of course, people are getting accused.
Sanaa Lathan said, y'all are funny.
Under no circumstances did I bite Beyonce.
And if I did, it would have been a love bite.
And Sarah Foster said, flattering that anyone thinks I could get this close to Beyonce.
And so a lot of people are denying these rumors.
Now, Chrissy Teigen went on Twitter and said, I cannot leave this planet without knowing who bit Beyonce in the face.
I can only think of one person who would do this, but I cannot
say, but she is the worst.
I am never telling. I'm scared. I've said too much.
Knowledge is a curse. That is
true. I want to know who bit Beyonce now.
I know you do. Alright, well, I'm
Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report.
I ain't saying. I ain't gonna toast. I don't know. I'm just making
this up. I'm just acting like I know to be cool. I don't know.
Alright, My goodness.
All right.
Now, when we come back, we got front page news.
What are we talking about, Ye?
We'll talk about Facebook.
Now they are under investigation.
We'll tell you why.
All right.
We'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Is that another record that Cardi B's featured on?
Yes, it is.
Because Cardi B's album comes out next week, April 6th, Invasion of Privacy.
April 6th.
That's right.
What do you think Cardi doing first week?
What's the number?
I think between 100 and 150.
Oh, she'll do more than that.
I think she's going
to do more than that.
Yeah, I'm thinking between
300.
I'm thinking like 300.
I'm thinking 300, 350.
Maybe even more than that
if you guys go out and support.
But this is what I was thinking.
I was thinking,
who's Cardi B's fan base?
Like the kids' kids
download crazy.
Like that's why XXXX She's 24 years old.
The kids are her fan base.
And the adults.
Yes, absolutely. Angie has pop crossover songs too. Okay.
Well, let's see. We'll see next week.
Let's get in some front page news.
Let's talk Facebook this morning. Yes.
The Federal Trade Commission has confirmed
that they are currently investigating Facebook
data practices. They are facing new scrutiny and that they are currently investigating Facebook data practices.
They are facing new scrutiny, and that is all because of their privacy policies.
What are their privacy policies?
Well, people have no idea now because news broke earlier this month at Cambridge Analytica,
which is a data firm with ties to Donald Trump's campaign,
access information from about 50 million Facebook users without their knowledge. So how did that end up happening with that data ending up in the hands of Donald Trump's
campaign consultants? They're supposed to be
protecting people's information, so now a lot of people
have been deleting their Facebook accounts because
they don't know where their information is going.
Or dropping a clues bomb for Cardi B for being
ahead of the curve with invasion of privacy.
Now here's what Mark Zuckerberg has to say
because he might be called forward to testify.
I'm happy to if it's the right thing
to do. Facebook testifies in Congress regularly on a number of topics,
some high profile and some not.
So what we try to do is send the person at Facebook
who will have the most knowledge about what Congress is trying to learn.
So if that's me, then I am happy to go.
What I think we've found so far is that typically there are people
whose whole job is focused on an area,
but I would imagine at some point that there will be a topic where I am the sole authority on and it will make sense for me to do it.
Right. So they're not supposed to be able to share your information beyond what your privacy settings are without your express consent.
And they didn't have that.
What the hell kind of information is on Facebook?
Like what's on Facebook?
What do we have up there?
I mean, all the information you put in your email address.
They can see what your phone number, address. Sometimes they can see what you've been viewing. Phone number, address sometimes.
They can see what kind of things that you're viewing.
That's how you get those ads,
so they know what you've been looking at,
what you're interested in,
and they direct the ads towards you in that way.
Oh, so they spine on you.
Pretty much.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
I thought that there was just some type of clairvoyancy going on.
They just knew what I liked.
Yes.
Now, we were talking about this earlier.
The U.S. Army veteran who served two tours in Afghanistan,
he has now been deported to Mexico.
Miguel Perez says that he is very confused.
Now, here's what the issue is.
He, like we said, served two tours and he was suffering from PTSD.
He said what he saw and experienced in Afghanistan sent his life off the rails, which led to his heavy drinking, a drug addiction, and ultimately to his felony conviction for drugs.
He said after the second tour, there was more alcohol, and that was also when I tried some drugs, but the addiction really started after I got back to Chicago when I got back home
because I did not feel very sociable.
So he was convicted on charges relating to delivering more than two pounds of cocaine
to an undercover officer and sentenced to 15 years, and his green card was revoked. I said it
once, I'll say it a million times. The way America
treats its veterans is absolutely positively
trash. Very foul. I don't feel like veterans
should ever have to pay taxes again.
I feel like they should get free housing
and I feel like they should get a stipend every month.
Yeah, Miguel Perez also
is scared that he's going to end up getting
murdered by Mexican drug cartels
because he feels like they will try to recruit him
because of his combat experience and if he
doesn't cooperate, they'll murder him. So he went on a
hunger strike earlier this year because he
feared that being deported would mean death for him.
He's suffering from severe anxiety.
He definitely is.
Could you imagine serving in the military
and in battle? Hell yeah.
I mean, listen, I go to my therapist every
Friday at 3. She tell me I got PTSD
and traumas and anxiety,
so I know he got it.
Absolutely.
If you think the Mexican
drug cartel is after you,
they know.
And like I said earlier,
my dad was served
in the Vietnam War,
and he said when he got
back home from war,
he said he couldn't find a job.
He was like,
there was nothing out there.
He searched and searched
and searched,
and the only jobs
that were available
were police officer,
transit, you know, with the trains, and sanitation.
Those are the only three things that he could possibly even find, and they weren't even paying that much.
Jesus Christ.
And then, you know, what's even worse is he's been through that, so that's what he's constantly thinking about.
I'm the type of person that if I see it on television or if I hear it somewhere, I feel like it's happened to me or I got it.
So somebody sent me a TED Talk about alien abduction because I was talking about being abducted by aliens last week.
All right.
And I really think
they're coming back for me
real soon, bro.
Hopefully.
Yes.
It absolutely could be
some alien technology.
It could be some alien technology
in my ass right now.
I believe that.
Something's in there.
How they got it in your ass?
Oh, you tell me.
It's the nine and a half inch
dildo.
See, you know,
I set myself up for that.
What was that unidentified flying object that went in your butthole?
I don't know.
I just set myself up, right?
All right.
Well, that's front page news.
Now, when we come back, play some theme music.
800-585-1051.
Ooh.
Now, yesterday, Tiffany Haddish, I guess an interview came out that she did.
At GQ Magazine.
Drop on the Clues Bomb for Tiffany Haddish. Out here cooking. Okay? G she did. At GQ Magazine, drop on the clues bomb for Tiffany Haddish.
Out here cooking.
Okay?
GQ Magazine, the article was.
Now, she told a story.
Tell us the story that she told to GQ.
Yeah, she said that someone actually bit Beyonce.
Whoa, whoa.
She said there was this actress that was just doing the most.
She bit Beyonce in the face.
So, Beyonce stormed away, went up to Jay-Z and was like,
Jay, come here, this bitch.
And that's when someone else said, can you believe this bitch just bit Beyonce?
Now, this would be the greatest board game ever if this was a board game.
Who bit Beyonce?
It would be in the same vein as Clue.
So give us some of the clues again.
We know it's an actress.
An actress.
You can eliminate all.
Somebody who was at that party back in December.
Yes, eliminate all hungry musical acts.
Because I saw y'all tweeting a bunch of hungry musical acts yesterday like Ciara
and all.
We know Keisha Cole.
Not Carrie Hilson.
We know Carrie Hilson.
We know they hungry.
Wait, is Carrie Hilson,
did she ever act in anything?
But we're eliminating them.
We're eliminating them.
It's an actress.
Actress, actress.
That's why you eliminate
all musical acts.
So it's an actress.
What was another clue?
She was drunk, right?
So somebody that was drunk,
maybe they drink heavy,
but Beyonce allegedly
told Tiffany at the bar that the bitch was on drugs.
Right.
So it's a drug addict, alcoholic actress.
It might not be a drug addict.
But drugs could have been weed.
They could have just used coke that one time.
We don't know if it's a druggy, druggy.
I don't know.
You say drugs.
If Beyonce said drugs, then that means it was drugs.
That means it was pills or coke or something.
We don't know.
It's drugs.
It's Hollywood we're talking about.
It could have been marijuana too.
But the main thing is
what actresses were at this party.
That's the first way
that we can figure this out.
We got actress and we got drugs.
Nah, this is terrible.
And at that party.
This was in LA
and it's all drugs.
It's actresses.
That's 95% of LA.
I don't know.
All right, so 805-85-1051.
Turn the music back up a little more.
Start it from the beginning.
Sounds a little white though.
If I had to guess what race this was. Right. We want to know the music back up a little more. Start it from the beginning. Sounds a little white, though. If I had to guess what race this was.
Right.
We want to know what actress bit Beyonce.
So who was at this party?
Rihanna was there.
Obviously not her.
James Franco.
Queen Latifah was there.
Sarah Foster.
Sanaa Lathan was there.
Queen Latifah's a lady.
What are you talking about?
I'm saying it wasn't a guy because she said James Franco.
Jay-Z is Washington.
I'm just telling you who was at this party so you can look on their pages and see if
they have pictures with anybody else as well.
Jay-Z and Julia's beating up a guy.
It's not a guy.
All right.
You think they were white or black?
Um, or other.
I mean, I know who it is, so I'm not acting.
I don't know.
I'm just playing.
I don't know who it is.
I would say they were white.
This sounds very white to me.
I'm sorry, white people.
All right.
805-85-1051.
Who bit Beyonce?
Only a white person would feel privileged enough to bite Beyonce.
Call us up now. 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're
talking about Beyonce. Now, Tiffany
Haddish did an interview with GQ magazine.
Haddish.
I said Haddish.
What did I say?
Haddish.
Haddish.
Haddish.
And what did she say in this interview?
She said that somebody bit Beyonce.
Beyonce came over like, this bitch just bit me.
Wow.
So we're asking.
She's on drugs.
Well, here's the thing.
This would be the greatest board game ever who bit Beyonce in the same vein as Clue.
So you need to give us a little bit more clues. You said somebody.
They were an actress.
Who they thought was
drunk, but Beyonce said the bitch is on
drugs. Somebody had to have been
at that actual event, so we've narrowed
it down in that way. We've narrowed it down to at least
3% of Hollywood. People were going at
Sanaa Lathan and Sarah Foster on social
media. Why'd they pick Sanaa and Sarah Foster?
Because they were there. Oh, okay, okay, okay.
We do know that 97% of Hollywood is on drugs, okay?
So 97% of actresses in Hollywood are on drugs,
so that doesn't eliminate much.
So we're asking 805-85-1051, who bit Beyoncé?
Angelina, who do you think?
Well, you know what?
I'm going to have to say that perhaps it was Sanaa Lathan.
And I think it was because it was a love bite.
Because she said, under no circumstances did I bite Beyonce.
And if I did, it would have been a love bite.
So that's kind of a disclaimer saying it was a love bite.
All right.
I'm thinking Angelina Jolie.
Why would Angelina?
Who said she was there?
I don't know if she was there.
I don't know who was at the party.
But you said she was an actress.
We just gave you clues.
And I'm thinking somebody that might be a little crazy.
And she is a little crazy at times.
No?
She is a little crazy at times.
We've seen so many crazy stuff that she's done.
I don't know who.
I don't know who was at the party.
I wasn't there.
Yeah, I don't know who was all at the party.
I'm assuming it was either somebody really fat or somebody very anorexic.
Probably in Hollywood it was anorexic. No, I'm saying probably in Hollywood it was either somebody really fat or somebody very anorexic. Probably in Hollywood it was anorexic.
No, I'm saying probably in Hollywood it was somebody anorexic because they were an actress.
So they were hungry.
So when you're hungry, you know what I'm saying?
You see this snack named Beyonce.
You're going to try to take a bite.
What about who plays Buffy the Vampire?
Only thing is, I don't think I don't know who's on drugs.
I don't know that.
Ninety seven percent of Hollywood is on drugs.
All right.
Well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this?
What up? This is Charlie Jr. from
Duval County. Duval!
Now who bit Beyonce, bro? Alright, so check
this out. Monique bit Beyonce.
Oh my gosh. Monique was not at
this party. I can guarantee you that, sir. Yes, she
was when I was there. You don't even know I was there. You were there
too? Okay. Oh my bad, my bad. I was there.
I was there, yeah. What happened?
She was talking about how, you know,
her and Jay was going to chill out
and chill and watch a little Netflix,
and Monique lost it at the bar,
went out and did a record.
That's exactly how it happened.
Okay, well, he was there, so I believe him.
I can see it.
So Monique bit Beyonce
because Beyonce said that her and Jay-Z
was going to Netflix and chill later.
That is very understandable.
Yeah, I mean, I can see that.
Hello, who's this?
What's going on?
This is Aaron.
Aaron.
All right, Aaron.
Who bit Beyonce, bro?
So basically, I feel like it was the girl from Black Panther.
The girl from Black Panther.
Which one?
Which one?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But his look.
Oh, yeah, Charlamagne Tha God, Angelina Jolie.
You know, I want to say what up to y'all real quick, though.
What up?
What girl from Black Panther?
There was a lot of women from Black Panther.
Who?
No, no, no, no, no.
It was a girl from his little sister.
They're always going to say that.
That girl ain't old enough to be in no damn party.
She could even be getting a party, man.
I don't know.
She's like 21, dude.
22.
Yeah, she might be old enough.
She is?
Nah, we don't think so.
Yeah, she's on top of it.
I'm going to be honest with you.
I don't think she'd bite Beyonce.
I think that Beyonce got bit by a colonizer.
If I had to put my money on it, I'd say
it was Jennifer Lawrence. Alright. Eight, Jennifer
Lawrence. Jennifer Lawrence. Jennifer Lawrence always
looks hungry. You know what I'm saying? Clearly
looks like she's always on drugs. She's always
drunk. She's the type of woman that would bend in that party
barefoot. You know what I'm saying? Dancing to
all the hip-hop songs, mad wild, everybody
looking at her crazy, and then she decided
to take a little bite out of Beyonce's
cheek. See, now, not for nothing, see, I'm thinking
of it like this, right? 805-85-1051.
So Charlamagne
is really cool with Tiffany.
They speak all the time.
So he might have some insider information.
He might be an insider trader, you know what I mean? He might
know. So he's saying it's Jennifer Lawrence, so
that's who it is. That's who it is.
All right, it's Jennifer Lawrence.
First of all, I'm going to tell you another reason it would be Jennifer Lawrence,
because she starred in a movie called The Hunger Games.
A woman that starred in a movie called The Hunger Games would definitely bite you.
All right, so Charlamagne's saying Jennifer Lawrence.
He spoke and got confirmation.
There you go.
All right, it's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Even if it's not her, let's blame it on the white person.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Now, if you just joined us, we're talking about Tiffany Haddish.
She did an interview with GQ magazine, which she was talking about her being at a party
and somebody biting Beyonce.
They said it was an actress.
They said possibly on drugs.
Yes.
Right.
And we're trying to figure out who.
Now, Charlamagne already told us it's Jennifer Lawrence.
First of all, that was my guess.
All right, you can say it's your guess, but I look at it like this.
I'm just trying to get all the clues together.
Charlamagne is tight with Tiffany.
That's my homie.
Tight, tight, tight.
I love Tiffany.
That's my people.
They speak all the time.
So if he says Jennifer Lawrence, so be it.
I don't think it's Jennifer Lawrence, yeah.
No, first of all, I'm guessing Jennifer Lawrence because, number one,
I feel like when it's a party full of black people and black privilege is in full effect, we got to blame it on the white person, right?
She's white.
I don't even know if she was dead, but she always looks hungry.
She seems to be drunk all the time.
She seems to always be on drugs.
And she starred in a movie called The Hunger Games.
Biting Beyonce is a severe taste of hunger.
Trav, what's up, Trav?
What's going on over here?
Trav.
You see that dude try to holler at you this morning, huh?
Oh, it's a black man always tries to holler at Trav.
Yeah, that's bae.
He's not having...
Oh, that's bae?
Well, that's not bae, but that's bae.
Oh.
You know Trav don't like black men.
He like others.
First of all, don't put that out there.
Yeah, don't put that on him.
That's not true.
Trav loves black men, okay?
Here we go.
I'm sorry, Trav.
Me and Trav love black men.
Well, who bit Beyonce, Trav?
Listen, I thought about this.
It had to be Queen Latifah.
Why you say that?
Why don't you blame Queen Latifah?
Queen Latifah would never.
It had to be Queen Latifah because I just think she saw Beyonce.
She had a flashback to Cleo from Set It Off.
No.
And she tried to taste her.
And she had big girls, so she definitely tried to taste her.
We don't invite nobody.
Queen Latifah is royalty, okay?
Queen Latifah is hip-hop royalty.
Y'all don't have to do salilation like that either, because Sadai is my boo.
Okay, I'm not mad at you.
Y'all need to stop blaming all the black women and focus on the white woman that might have been at the party named Jennifer Lawrence.
Thank you, Chad.
The main question is, who is doing Beyoncé's security?
First, there's con artist man getting close to her.
Then people bite her.
That con artist?
Beyonce needs to DM me and let me do her security because something is not happening.
Trav not letting nobody through. Beyonce should have fired
Julius when Julius let that fan attack Beyonce's
hair that time at that concert. Remember when that fan?
I'm talking about the actual fan, not a person.
The literal fan. When her hair got
caught in the fan. My goodness. Jamie!
Hello! Now, Jamie, whoever
you say it is, we are all
going with what you say. Who bit
Beyonce? Jennifer Lawrence.
Boom! Drop one of the clues, boss. That's what Charlie Mays said.
Why do you think that, baby? You know,
there's so many stories out there
of Jennifer Lawrence going to these parties,
getting wasted, so
I could totally see her
biting Beyonce. Yeah, they always
blaming the black women
when they get drunk and they have a good
time, but Jennifer Lawrence, just as ratchet
as any of the sisters out here,
I can see her walking around that party
barefoot, dancing off beat to all
the future records, and then
the fact she starred in the Hunger Games,
she's always got an appetite. She bit
Beyonce. I agree.
Jamie, you said it, so we gotta
go with you. Thank you, Jamie.
Now, we gotta go have a petty party. Alright, what? Everybody go to Jennifer Lawrence you. Thank you, Jamie. All right. Now, we got to go have a petty party.
All right.
What?
Everybody go to Jennifer Lawrence Twitter.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Let me look it up.
Let me get it.
Go to Jennifer Lawrence Twitter right now.
And what you going to put?
Put hashtag YouBitBeyonce.
Her Twitter is JLDaily.
I think this is her.
Hold on.
Let me make sure this is her.
No, that's her.
That's a fan account.
Hold on.
Let's find her real Twitter.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Somebody find her real Twitter.
I'm looking it up right now.
Does she have a real Twitter?
Aw, shoot. I don't think she got a Twitter. She got an
Instagram. Smart on her part.
She's not a big fan of Facebook or
Twitter. Says she'll never get a Twitter account.
Okay, so forget it. Aw, man.
She doesn't have an Instagram either? Nope. Aw,
man. Well, forget it. Well, let's just make
her a trend. Put Jennifer Lawrence, bit Beyonce.
Put hashtag
who bit Beyonce and put Jennifer Lawrence.
Damn, man. Why we couldn't have a petty party
this morning? Because she's smart enough not to have a goddamn
Twitter. That's how I know she bit Beyonce.
Probably deleted her Twitter account as soon as she
bit Beyonce. Alright, so what do you want people to do?
Hashtag what? Nothing. I'm just
letting y'all know that I think who bit Beyonce
was Jennifer Lawrence. Alright. And I'm gonna be honest
with you, that's all alleged. And
I'm only doing that. I'm only blaming it on her
because she's white.
But I'm also doing it
because I hated how she played Mystique
in the X-Men movie.
Okay?
Totally ruined that movie.
Totally ruined that.
For a man that has Wolverine
tattooed on his right arm,
she totally ruined that for me.
My goodness.
All right.
We got rumors on the way.
Yes, we have an open letter
from Meek Mill's mother.
Find out what she had to say.
Also, some updates on Prince
with the toxicology reports.
Alright, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. in the hood near you when you don't ask why i roll with a crew when twist up my fingers and wear dark

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Meek Millie.
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.
All right.
Well, Meek Mill's mother has written an open letter to Lady Justice, which is the justice system.
Now, she said, I was always taught and always believed that you, Lady Justice, were fair, impartial, and balanced.
That was until you took my son from me at the tender age of 19.
His whole life, he was struggling with the death of his father and the void of my presence
since I worked three jobs to keep the lights on.
In fact, he would hardly utter a word and mostly stay quiet until he started rhyming.
She goes on to say, the problem is that the justice system
has failed my son at every turn and hasn't let go. You, Lady Justice, have allowed corruption at the
highest levels of the system and cruelty and spite have cast doubt on your very foundation. You are
supposed to balance fairness and blindly always do what's right, yet injustice has taken 11 years
of our lives. My son had to choose between seeing his child and his mother in a hospital
or going to prison.
My son, who was 19 when he was introduced to the justice system,
has been scarred physically and emotionally by your betrayal,
and now you threaten his own son's sense of security.
Now she goes on to talk about the district attorney and Governor Wolf,
who had the courage to say,
let my son out of prison due to this injustice.
She said no human being should know his truths
and be accosted by lies and false judgment under your shelter.
So on behalf of every mother whose son suffers the cruelty of unjust punishment,
I now beg you to hear the words of the DA and the governor and release my son.
We've been talking about this whole Meek Mill situation
and how even the governor of Pennsylvania feels like Meek Mill should be released while he's waiting to find out his fate.
Have we got any updates?
Is he coming home soon?
Is he has a court date?
Like what's going on?
No updates yet.
We're waiting for the judge.
I guess the judge is the person.
This is so crazy.
This pisses me off, though, because if you're the governor, you can pardon Meek Mill.
I don't know how that works.
I'm going to be honest.
He's the governor of the state of Pennsylvania.
Meek Mill is under, he's in jail in Pennsylvania.
It seems like some extreme circumstances between the
judge and the cops that
arrested him. Man, just pardon Meek all together.
Meek ain't bothering nobody. Meek ain't hurting nobody.
Like, Meek does a lot for the community
of Philadelphia. Like, come on, man. Meek's paid his debt
to society. And so many people can relate to the
situation that Meek Mill is in, having been in the system
for, as his mom said, 11
years and being treated unjustly.
Alright, they have released a toxicology report from Prince's autopsy,
and they said that it was an exceedingly high concentration of fentanyl in his body.
That's a synthetic opioid 50 times more powerful than heroin.
So basically painkillers.
And they said that a person who takes prescription opioids for a long time
builds up a tolerance, and a dose that could kill one person might help another.
So what they are saying is that he had 450 micrograms per kilogram.
So they said liver concentrations greater than 69 micrograms per kilogram could be an overdose.
So imagine he had 450 per kilogram in his body.
All right, now, Joel Santana, in the meantime, is going to have to stay in court, in jail longer than anticipated. He was in his body. All right. Now, Joel Santana, in the meantime,
is going to have to stay in court,
in jail longer than anticipated.
Still?
He was in court yesterday.
And they said he will remain in custody
after a judge ruled that a proposed bail package
was insufficient to allow his release.
So he has pleaded not guilty
to both the drug and gun charges.
They said his next date will be in April, April 9th.
So that's his next court hearing.
They said the package
wasn't good enough.
Yeah, they rejected that package.
So they wanted more money
or something.
Yeah, I don't know exactly.
That's crazy.
We got to get you L's out, man.
So April 9th.
Don't run.
He's stuck in there now.
He can't run from there.
He can't run from there.
Now, Cardi B,
she has revealed
that her release date
for her debut album,
Invasion of Privacy, will be out next week, April 6th.
So she posted the cover on Instagram.
She said, my album cover, ladies and gents.
So congratulations to her.
Drop one of the clues bombs for Bardi.
Remember at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, she did announce that her album would be out in April.
So now we have the actual date that is going to be April 6th.
First of all, if you didn't think Cardi's album was coming out, you was a goddamn fool.
Okay, Cardi was on the schedule for The Breakfast Club two months ago.
And what I say, I say, well, she must have got her album dropped.
Yeah, she's been working.
And she got too much high-profile press coming up.
Saturday Night Live, I'm sure you'll probably see her on Ellen, stuff like that.
That album is dropping April 6th.
What's the number, though?
What's y'all prediction?
What y'all think she's going to do first?
I think she's going to do really, really well.
I'm saying 300 or better.
I thought about it.
I said 150 earlier
because I was thinking downloads.
No, she'd definitely do more than 150.
I think she'll do
because I didn't think about it.
I didn't really think about it
because she has older, younger,
mid, and crossover.
I think she might do more than 400.
I think more than 400.
I'm going to say 300 or better.
I'm going to go,
I'm going to read,
I'm going to say between four and five. I think she'll do 300. I'm going to say between four and five.
I think she'll do it.
I'm going to stay in the threes.
And we'll make sure you guys stay updated so everybody can download,
everybody can stream her album,
and make sure you help those sales go above and beyond.
She'll be on Breakfast Club next week.
All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
All right, thank you, Missy.
Charlemagne!
Yes.
Who you giving that down to?
You know, man, I really love Florida.
Drop on a Clues Bomb for Florida.
Another person from Florida? You know, man, I really love Florida. Drop on a Clues bomb for Florida. Another person from Florida?
Come on, man.
Your Uncle Charlotte tells you all the time,
the craziest people who come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
Long before Donald Glover in Atlanta was telling y'all about Florida, man,
I've been on this radio telling y'all about Florida.
There's nothing better than Florida when it comes to donkey of the day.
And today we have a woman who has taken marriage fraud
to levels I've never seen before.
All right, we'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Charlamagne, say the gang.
Don't get out of shape.
Charlamagne.
You are a donkey.
It's time for donkey of the day.
Donkey of the day does not discriminate.
I might not have the song of the day,
but I got the donkey of the day.
So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey, man, hit me with the heat.
It's a breakfast club, bitch.
Who's donkey of the day today?
Oh, man.
Listen, donkey of the day for Tuesday, March 27th.
It is the 27th, right?
Yeah, Tuesday, March 27th goes to a Floridian named Karen Cooper.
Now, Karen is from Florida.
You heard me say Floridian, ladies and gentlemen.
Key word, Florida.
And you know what your Uncle Sharla always says,
the craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
Drop on the clues bombs for Florida.
I love y'all.
Thank you for listening.
Karen Cooper is no exception of one of these crazy people that come from Florida.
Now, we all know someone who has married a person to keep them in the country.
Green card's a big business.
Marriage fraud is big business.
Salute to everyone out there
who threatens their illegal immigrant spouse every day
by telling them,
if you don't act right, I'm going to divorce you,
and they're going to send your ass back
to whatever country you came from.
Now, Karen Cooper has taken marriage fraud
to another level.
She is taking marriage fraud to a place that only a Floridian can take it.
Now, let me give you some quick backstory.
Are you listening?
Listen to me.
It's a giant tree, right?
In Snell Family Park in Fort Myers, Florida.
A giant tree.
The tree has been there for more than a century.
It's a ficus tree.
Okay?
I think I pronounced that right.
F-I-C-U-S. A ficus
tree. And city staff
is discussing cutting it down.
Alright, by the way, I hate when trees that have been
here hundreds of years get cut down
because they want to put up buildings
or houses, okay? Trees are an institution
on this planet, and they should not be knocked down
for a double-damn Starbucks.
Okay, well, Karen Cooper agrees with me,
and she has come up with a plan to save the tree
in the most slow ride away possible.
All right, let's go to ABC News World News Now for the report.
If you were trying to save a tree, how would you do it?
How would you go about it?
The obvious answer here is to marry the tree.
Oh.
So this Florida woman trying to save a tree
from being chopped down by the city,
and she said, I do, to the tree, to save it.
So Karen Cooper said she and other neighbors of Snell Family Park in Fort Myers
were distraught when they learned the city's beautification advisory board
wanted to cut the giant ficus down, which is 100 years old.
And so Cooper organized a wedding.
As she walks down the aisle, here comes the soon-to-be Mrs. Ficus.
Wow. Congratulations to the happy couple. Congratulations. I don-to-be Mrs. Ficus. Wow.
Congratulations to the happy couple.
Congratulations.
I don't know if this will work, though.
What?
Drop one of Clues' bombs for Karen Cooper.
Drop one of Clues' bombs for Florida.
You know, I didn't even know this was legally possible
that you could marry a tree.
America got way too much freedom.
I appreciate Karen Cooper going out on a limb
to save this tree, and I know what you're thinking.
What is romantically appealing about a tree?
Well, first of all, trees are ballers.
They got their own money.
All right?
You never have to worry about catching a bank before it closes again.
Because even if the bank closes, if you date a tree, they all have their own branch.
All right?
Okay?
Karen Cooper actually spoke on why she wanted to marry the tree.
Let's hear what she had to say.
We just vowed to protect and preserve, you know, till death do us part.
And like you would any other vow.
And then we said, you who I do.
I'm not a whack job, but I am not in favor of a whack job on this tree.
This all makes perfect sense to me.
Does it?
Round of applause to Karen.
Okay.
She's not a whack job, but she will not allow a whack job on this tree.
Well, since we're throwing around nice tree jokes, I got one for you, Karen.
What must trees drink responsibly?
Any guesses in here?
No, I don't know.
Huh?
What?
Root beer.
That was terrible.
That was horrible.
What's interesting about Florida people is they don't think they're crazy.
All right?
Saving a tree, perfectly normal.
Marrying a tree to save a tree, not so
normal. Question for Karen.
If you have sex with a tree,
do you both have wood?
That was a joke?
That was so bad. You sound like Snack Man
that calls in the morning, right? Listen, listen, listen.
Karen, if you have sex
with a tree, will it call you after
or leave you alone? This guy's stupid. Karen, if you have sex with a tree, will it call you after or leave you alone?
This guy is stupid.
Karen, I applaud you.
I want to laugh.
Okay.
I don't.
I applaud you, Karen.
All right.
Just know that when you and the tree jump the broom, if the broom has a wooden handle,
you're jumping over your husband's dead cousin.
Okay.
Question.
Serious question, guys.
Serious question, guys.
This is terrible.
All right.
Charlamagne's bark is worse than his jokes.
Stop the music.
Let's hear the serious thing.
Go ahead.
If the tree fornicates with Karen in the forest
and nobody is around to hear it or see it,
did it really happen?
Doesn't matter.
Either way, Karen still effed the tree.
Mm-mm.
You know what?
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Okay, I got one more.
I'm walking out.
Can I get one more?
Go ahead.
Where are those aliens to abduct Charlamagne right now?
How do Karen and her tree get online?
How?
They just log in.
I'm here all week.
I can't take this.
No, please don't be.
Karen Cooper.
Karen Cooper from Florida.
I wish you the best.
I just want you to be careful because if trees could kill you, they would.
You don't get it?
You don't get it?
I got it.
I got it.
Please give Karen Cooper the sweet sound of the Hamiltonian flea.
I'm sorry, guys. The day you are the donkey of the day.
Yeehaw.
Thank God it's over.
This is crazy.
I can't believe y'all didn't appreciate none of my tree jokes.
All right.
Well, thank you for them horrible ass jokes and that donkey of the day.
Well, what did Karen's new boo wear at the beach?
Her new tree boo.
What?
Trunks. Sw? Trunks.
Swimming trunks.
Yay!
These are terrible.
You want to join in with them now?
I mean, I just had to guess the answer.
My goodness.
Well, I'm glad you guessed the answer.
I'm glad you weren't stumped, ye.
You know what?
This guy.
I can't.
All right, when we come back,
Kenny Burns and Faith Weaver will be joining us.
Now, Kenny Burns Burns you probably know him
He worked for Puff for a long time
Started off as an intern
Also worked for Dame Dash
He does the Baller Alert podcast as well
Shout to Natina shout to Robin
And also we have Faith Weaver
I learned a lot from Faith Weaver
And we're going to talk to her when we come back
We'll tell you exactly what she does at her movies
The Breakfast Club
Good morning
The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Oh, Faith Fawn. The Breakfast Club.
E-J-N-V, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
We got some special guests in the building.
The home team, Kenny Burns and Ms. Fawn Weaver.
Yeah.
The lifestyle specialist, Kenny Burns.
Hello, family.
Hello.
Before we get started, Kenny, tell the people what it is that you do.
I am the plug, the ultimate plug.
I've been curating culture for about 20 years.
I started the influencer programs, which led me to this partnership that all spirit companies use.
And, you know, my history with Puff, I think, well, you do clearly, because when you started on Revolt, we were launching Revolt.
But, you know, took him to the next level.
Launching Deleon Tequila, Apple Ciroc
was my launch. So, you know, I've had some
real skin in the game on the spirit side.
You and Puff didn't get along at one point, though, right?
It was like a dumb skin, light skin thing?
Yeah, it's always a light skin.
No, absolutely the truth.
Puff is a racist.
No, I'm joking.
No, no, no.
I'm joking.
No, I'm joking. Puff no, no, no. I'm joking.
No, no, I'm joking.
I'm joking.
No, Puff is the coolest.
Obviously, one of the fearless leaders
of our culture.
And we just, you know,
we butt heads
because we're both
strong Scorpios.
Is there something
in the club?
Puff was hosting
the club.
You don't remember
that video where
Kenny had a bottle
of Grey Gifts?
A bottle of Grey Gifts.
You know what it was?
Like, Puff, you know,
Puff is into this
whole weed thing now, right?
But even then,
it started.
So he's expecting everybody to be Seriroc because it's the black thing.
He owns it.
He's the leader of the culture, quote, unquote, at the time.
And, you know, they were cutting a nice check,
and I just wanted to show my power.
He able to come to my market, you know, it was a whole thing.
This is in Atlanta.
Yeah, and he's my big brother.
So at the end of the day, you always want to show what you can do as well.
So that's all.
Did he get upset about that, though?
Absolutely, he got upset.
That was a fighting pump thing.
Yeah, a pump would fight.
Absolutely.
No, he got very upset.
I mean, rightfully so.
I had a billboard in front of Justin's like, hey, welcome to this.
And then the club, you know, the compound was my home.
So I was like strategically placing booths and things of that nature to make sure I won.
Did you know Craig Mack?
Because I know you heard that.
Man, God rest his dead, man.
Like, I did the first Big Mack experience in college in Atlanta.
And that's when I first met Craig.
And, you know, it's a testament of time, man.
You know, time is not friendly.
It waits on no one.
It keeps moving.
He was only 46, though.
Bro, that's what I'm saying.
And it was heart failure.
Like, how does...
He had a broken heart because nobody was talking about him before he died. Like, he's what I'm saying. And it was heart failure. Like, how does... He had a broken heart because nobody was talking about
him before he died. Like, he had a bunch of birthdays.
Nobody was posting his pictures, so he died of a broken
heart. Damn, Charlamagne. That's the truth.
No, but I believe, you know,
and I was there when we
did the Bad Boy tour
and was there when Puff was trying to get
him on tour. And it
was like, you know, he was just in his beliefs
and in his ways i just i wish the
last bad boy told yes see i told you it's not that puff didn't invite him he was too deeply religious
and he was he was it was all about that and the bottom line is i wish he would have got that love
because i was talking to fawn about it yesterday and we were talking about the tour and he was
fighting me he didn't really want to do that per se initially you want to do the tour first well
you remember he was doing all those records and he had had Meek, and it wasn't, you know, Puff Daddy.
I'm like, yo, they want to celebrate you in the history of Bad Boy.
And he did it.
And I just wish Craig could have felt that.
Because it was so much genuine love.
Like, you know, like when you grow up with something, and you can't replace.
That's like Anita Baker going on tour right now.
Like, I got to see Anita Baker.
My mom's playing her.
That's what I'm saying. That's it, my girl. Yeah, like, I gotta see Anita Baker. She is on tour right now. That's what I'm saying.
That's it, my girl. I gotta see her.
I damn near want to wear roller skates.
Are you going to go see Anita Baker?
I'm actually trying to meet on the team in Miami. In Miami.
The problem with the culture, though, we treat our culture like it's so disposable.
No, and that's
the bad thing, and that's one of the reasons
I jumped back in the spirits after
I left, you know, Puff. It's because, you reasons I jumped back into spirits after I left Puff.
It's because we do things for so many people so much, and you give your all, your creativity, your time.
You don't get the credit.
How many things you went through to get where you at?
How many things have we all gone through?
And with Uncle Nier, for me, it was like reparations on a whole other level, right?
But let's talk about it from the beginning. This is the whiskey brand.
Yes, this is the whiskey brand.
This is our own equity.
Okay, all right.
Round of applause for Fawn Weaver and Keith Weaver
for recognizing the young player.
Absolutely.
But yes.
Tell us about the brand.
Please, Fawn.
Fawn Weaver, ladies and gentlemen.
Hello, Fawn.
Hi, Charlemagne.
So I am the co-founder, but I really go by Chief Historian because that's what I do most of the time.
So the brand is named after the first African-American master distiller on record in the United States.
It is the first time, even though we helped to build the American whiskey industry,
it is the first time an African-American has been recognized.
And it is the first time that a bottle has been named in honor of an African-American.
So that's a big deal.
But the story in three minutes, two minutes, is in around 1820 in Maryland, and a slave was born.
And we don't know what happened between that time and the time we see him in a city called Lynchburg, Tennessee, around the mid-1850s. And he's the head distiller at this farm for a preacher and a distiller. And this guy
has to make a decision. Do I continue to be in the whiskey business? And my church is telling me,
you have to choose. You have to be a preacher, you have to be a distiller and so he chose being a preacher but he still wanted to make money so he allowed the still to be run solely by an african-american man that did not
happen there was always a white boss and on this one he allowed that now allow is very flexible
seeing as how nears was still a slave at that time and so around the middle of the 1850s, a young kid comes who lost his mother at four months old, a white kid.
And he shows up and he's a chore boy.
He is not a privileged kid.
He is not someone who is higher than Nearest.
And fast forward, he wants to learn the whiskey business.
And Nearest takes him under his wing and begins to teach this young white kid how to do whiskey his way.
And so who was that kid, Fawn?
Hey, hey, hey, stop, stop, stop.
And essentially the only difference between bourbon, which most people know, and Tennessee whiskey is the process that Nearest taught.
So Nearest's whiskey was the best in the land because of a process that more likely than not came from West Africa,
which is a
filtering through charcoal, through sugar maple charcoal. And so once it goes through there,
it just makes a superior whiskey. So time goes on and this African-American man becomes the first
master distiller for this young white boy as he grows up. And the young white boy goes on to be known around the world.
But his master distiller's
story is lost in time.
And I think that's just the history of African Americans
overall. Yeah, we do all the work,
and a white man gets the credit for it.
Well, in this case,
no credit was stolen.
I can confirm that because
every single day, a day doesn't
go by where I am not on the phone, on text, on email with Nearest's family.
And the thing that they are very clear about is Nearest's name was not forgotten because of that white young boy who everyone else now knows to be Jack Daniel.
His real name is Jasper Newton Daniel. But his family is very clear in wanting to make sure that in this process of honoring Nearest, that we do not forget that Jack honored Nearest when he was alive.
Wow.
So it's one of those great stories that out of the ugliest time in American history arises a beautiful story.
And we've not seen something like this ever.
Ever. So he paid homage seen something like this ever.
So he paid homage to him throughout his career.
Not only did he pay homage to him throughout his career,
so Jack Daniels' legacy, his official biography,
which I have the rights to, and just republished.
And I republished it because Nearest and his boys are mentioned in Jack's biography 50 times.
It's a book?
Yeah, it is his official biography.
And so every person who was interviewed to really lay out his biography
was Jack's family, were his employees, were all those who were closest to him.
So to have Nearest's family mentioned almost more than anybody else in the book
means they wanted to make sure his legacy was not forgotten.
All right, we got more with Kenny Burns and Fawn Weaver when we come
back. Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ
Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne
the guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We have Kenny
Burns and Fawn Weaver in the building.
Charlamagne? You know what's so crazy about whiskey?
I always look at whiskey as some white boy drink.
Well, and that's because if you look
at the demographic, so even for us,
our target demographic for Uncle Nearest isn't African-Americans, which is crazy if you think about it.
But what I love about that is, is for African-Americans with brands, they're always trying to push at us and they're trying to market to us in a specific way.
With Uncle Nearest, it's one of those things that we just are.
And so we're not trying to market to us.
It just is a brand that we can be incredibly proud of.
And so, yeah, so up until now, whiskey has kind of been a white man's drink.
Until now.
Stay tuned.
If you were trying to market to black people, you would call it Jamal Daniels.
Why whiskey of all things?
What got you into whiskey and doing this homework?
Well, number one, that is my drink of choice.
And I drink it neat and I drink it overproof.
God damn.
You just going to find out how gangster she is.
You watch Coyote Ugly, though.
No, no, no.
Ask her, Charlamagne.
Ask her who owns the property that the kids grew up on.
It's this house.
Who owns the property that the kids grew up on that this is this house who owns the property so so the so the
home the 313 acre property where nearest taught jack where the original jack daniel distillery
was until at least 81 but probably closer to 84 where anything that was bottled prior to that time
the water is still running through that property. I own it.
You bought it.
Go ahead.
Yeah.
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
But the main project that I'm so excited about is that we wanted to change the trajectory of an entire bloodline.
And we thought, gosh, if we can do that, then all of them will go back into the community and they'll raise somebody else out of it.
So Nearest has seven children, seven descendants that are currently in college.
And we pay for all of them.
So full ride.
The goals are keep it 3.0 and bring somebody else along after you've achieved your success.
That means something.
And so when I was introduced to Fawn, you know, literally a week later we were together.
I'm walking these hollow grounds, right?
I'm on the 330-something acres.
I'm going through.
I'm seeing all these gangster moves she did.
I mean, she not only.
Oh, stop it.
No, I'm not going to go all the way in.
But she buys the acreage, right?
The original house.
Then she gets another significant property.
Then there's an equestrian park down the street.
I don't know how many hundred acres.
But it's the way that she's moving and the respect that she's moving with.
I mean, Jack Daniels loves her.
Is she still alive?
No, Jack Daniels, the company.
Oh, the company.
The company has brought her in because she's a historian
and has done research that no one has been able to do.
They bring her in.
They fly.
And it's amazing.
You know us.
First thing we do,
like, I ain't tripping on, man. Listen, everybody who drank Jack Daniels now needs to
drink Uncle Nearest. We're not saying that.
Because Jack was good.
To Nathan Green,
right? But the thing about it is, man,
it's so much substance to it, and
I just had to be a part of it. Did Jack Daniels trickle any money
down to the Nearest family? They were the richest
in the community, as far as blacks went.
The story of Uncle Nearest is not a super divided story.
It's not a super blacks got treated so bad, right?
The community in which they live, and of course things happen.
That was the era.
That was the norm, right?
But the story in which it's going to make an incredible movie is that this was a very close knit community that really loved each other.
You know, and it's amazing to hear stories like this because these aren't the stories we hear from that era.
Right. Yeah. Especially when the name of the town is Lynchburg. Lynchburg.
Come on. I thought it was Virginia first because that's the only Lynchburg I ever heard of.
And they and to be clear, they were lynching as many whites as they were lynching blacks.
Yeah, that was a different. Yeah, it was lynching as many whites as they were lynching blacks yeah it was a different yeah it was a different kind of lynching yeah if you if you if you did something and people thought you were
guilty they would lynch you but it was one of the few places like there there was a newspaper
article that went across the country in in 1903 i think because a black was in jail and historically
in the south blacks would go in jail they would never see their trial because a mob would come and pull them out and hang them.
They would come out and lynch them.
Well, this mob from outside of Lynchburg shows up at the jail.
The white sheriff comes out and starts blasting on them.
Kills two of them.
Kills some of the mob and starts arresting people.
This is to protect a black guy that's in jail.
So this is a different kind of story.
And I knew it was a different kind of story
because one of the first things I did when I got to Lynchburg
is brought together all of the African-American elders.
So that's people that are 70 years up and up.
And I asked them, I said, growing up here,
when I talk about race,
what would you say positive to negative percentages?
Would you say it was like 60-40, 70-30, 80-20?
Every single one said 90-10, 90 positive.
You do not find that in the South very often.
But I believe the reason why that existed is because you've got this little bitty 5'2 white guy
who's the big distiller in town who was always flanked by Nearest's family.
It's hard to be racist
when the big guy in town does not see color.
Wow.
You better say that.
You've been doing radio before, so...
Where you get all this money from?
You said you started off with entrepreneur 23 years ago.
What'd you start off with?
Sorry, I just have to tell y'all who her daddy is.
But that is not where my money came from. You Oh, sorry. I just have to tell y'all who her daddy is. But that is not
where my money came from.
You gotta stop it.
I just wanna talk about your daddy.
We gotta talk about your daddy.
Daddy, are you kidding me?
Listen, listen.
One thing is,
is my husband and I
have been making moves
for about 15 years, solid.
He's an executive vice president
for Sony Pictures.
And we don't spend a lot of money.
And we don't care about money.
But what we do care about is investing it.
So I think we approach things a little differently.
I think that for African Americans in general, if we put most of our money into investing,
everybody could do what we're doing.
I really do.
And it's on the market now.
They can pick it up now?
It is on the market now.
It's in 12 states.
It comes to New York in about four weeks.
Okay.
But it's in 12 states.
We'll be in 42 before the end of the year.
And we'll be in three countries.
Go ahead, Kenny.
How much you got?
How much equity do you have?
Oh, you know, I'm a partner.
Partner.
I'm a partner.
All those who didn't give me partnerships before.
Partner.
All right.
I'll get out of the frame.
Kenny, I see you also have a movie coming out.
Boom.
Yes.
There you go Fight Night with Will Packers
the 1971 period piece
it was the biggest heist in Georgia history
at the helm of the entire thing
was a man named Chicken Man
which drew me to the story
and a cop named J.D. Hudson
the first black detective in Atlanta
and this heist, man. I love
gangster flicks. Everybody, no, I'm sorry.
You guys might know, but I gave Damon Dash the movie
Paid in Full. I've always been...
I introduced him to AZ
when I had an office on
23rd Street. You phrased that right, because you know Damon
would be like, he ain't giving me nothing.
No, absolutely. 1,000%.
Damon Dash, he knows.
You gave it to him?
I gave him, I introduced him to AZ, the real AZ, Wood Harris' character.
Took him down, met the entire crew.
They gave him some money, acquired the script.
All I asked was for a part in the movie.
I never got it.
But ain't that the part in the movie?
That's why you got to get stuff in writing, Kenny.
That's why we'll pack, or we definitely the part in the movie. No, I never was in the movie. That's why you got to get stuff in writing, Kenny. That's why Will Pack...
Get in writing.
Will Pack...
Oh, we definitely got this in writing.
And know your worth.
That's right.
Exactly.
But Will Packer, you know, he came to the table writing.
Now, how did this part not happen in Paid in Full?
You didn't...
No, I was a child.
I mean, I'm running, I'm hustling, I'm trying to figure my life out.
It was no blueprint.
No one taught me the game.
I have no father figure.
But isn't AZ from Harlem?
Ain't AZ from Harlem? AZ is from Harlem. isn't AZ from Harlem? Ain't AZ from Harlem?
AZ is from Harlem.
And Dane from Harlem?
Dane's from Harlem.
So a D.C. person
introduced to Harlem?
I am the plug.
I keep trying to tell everybody.
I'm going to be honest
with you, Kenny.
I don't know about this story.
I got to hear Dane's side.
Fact check.
Fact check.
You want Dane.
I need to hear your side, Dane.
Fact check.
But anyway,
so that was my first offering.
But when I launched
Revolt Television with Puff,
I wanted to bring the content that I had.
And then we never got around to it with Puff.
And then when I was leaving, I was on a plane with Will Packer.
And I was like, look, there's this story from Atlanta.
You know, Will's synonymous with Atlanta as well.
I was like, we have to do this story.
Plane ride, four hours, we in first class together.
We get home, his car's not there.
We talk, I use my car to take him home.
So we were like kind of, okay, yeah, he wants to do this.
You trapped him.
Yes, definitely.
Definitely.
Then Mike Epps.
In my eyes,
I was trying to bring,
I don't know the film game.
I'm just trying to attach talent,
make this thing, whatever.
So besides securing the life rights
with Jeff Keaton,
I got Mike Epps.
We had this whole series
of conversations.
It took six months
to get Will and them
to buy all the way in. It took two
weeks for Universal to say we're doing the
deal. So we're in script phase right now.
We'll be in pre-production, top of the year
and production next year. So congratulations.
Thank you. All right. Well, there you
have it. It's Kenny Burns. And Fawn,
thank you so much. It was great for you to come through.
Great to hear that story. We can't wait to
see more about it. See the movie.
Yeah, yeah yeah And the book
She's writing the book
I am
She's writing the book
The Breakfast Club
First of all
This is not happening
On purpose
This is the second time
This has happened
This show
We had to cut
Nicki's verse off
In the middle
No we didn't have to
Let her rap
We don't have time
We gotta go to
Rumor report
You know what
I did not say that.
Yes, you did.
That is not true.
Why would I do that?
All right, let's get.
Y'all got to stop acting like that, okay?
That's the second time we cut Nicki off.
Y'all are foul.
It's okay.
I can't wait for Nicki to drop her new project, whenever that is.
All right, let's get to the rumors, man.
Let's talk Tamar Braxton.
It's time, time, time, time.
She's spilling the tea.
This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, Tamar Brackton has caused some drama yet again.
Now, she was on the Steve Harvey show, and she was part of a panel of women, including Carrie Hilson,
and they were asked, should a woman change her look for a man?
Here was Tamar's response.
I believe in, you know, being attractive for your mate.
Like, I used to be like this. I used to have all blonde wigs.
I still have 150,000 of them at my house since I done shaved my head off.
You know what I mean? Vince likes blonde-haired, light-fed women.
And, you know, I just wasn't born with no blonde hair.
But for me, I just think that's a responsibility that women have.
It's to stay current for your man.
What does light-fed mean?
I think fair. Fair skin.
Oh, light-fed. Fair skin, yeah. Blonde wigs. Yes. light fade mean? I think fair. Fair skin. Oh, light fade.
Fair skin, yeah.
Blonde.
Wigs.
Yes.
So people were bashing them.
I believe in switching it up in your relationship.
Give your partner some variety.
But Vince needs his butt.
You marry a black woman.
How you want fair skin and blonde hair?
Plus, I bet that's why she pinched her nose.
Yeah, that sounds a little crazy.
Fair skin women.
But I mean, everybody got a purpose to it.
I think that you can
switch it up with wigs and have fun like that,
but I don't think... That's what I think she was talking
about. I mean, I think she switches it up for her husband.
I don't see nothing wrong with that. But when you say he likes
fair-skinned women and he likes blonde hair,
blonde hair is not just switching it up.
It's like, I like blonde hair. It kind of sounds
like I like white women.
No. No.
No, it doesn't. Why do y'all reach that far? Jesus Christ, no, it don't sound like that. I like white women. No. No. No, I wouldn't say that. Why do y'all reach that far?
Jesus Christ.
No, it don't sound like that.
I like my wife wearing different things.
I like her in cornrows sometimes.
What if your wife told you, I like brown-skinned men with blonde hair?
Would you try to make your skin darker and dye your hair blonde?
What if she told Vince, I like in-shape men that keep their mouth closed?
Exactly.
But clearly, he got in shape.
He can't keep his mouth closed, but he got in shape.
He lost a lot of weight.
I'm just saying, like, Charlamagne, if you told your wife, I like light skinned women.
I would never say that.
I wouldn't tell my wife that because I married her.
Yeah, they're married too.
Yeah, for what you like and what you love.
Yeah, that's just a weird thing.
But Tamar's light though.
She is light paired or whatever she says.
She is light.
I think it's talking about the hair.
Right.
All right.
Now, let's get back into Tiffany Haddish
because she is now ducking questions from everybody
about what happened with Beyoncé.
Now, we told you the story earlier.
She told the story to GQ magazine about how an actress bit Beyoncé
and Beyoncé said the person was on drugs.
Everybody's trying to figure out who is she talking about.
Jennifer Lawrence.
Shelly, tell us.
From The Hunger Games.
Chris Spencer was trying to get some answers,
and here's what happened.
Well, okay, it was crazy,
because it was like the after party for the Jay-Z concert, right?
Which was super dope,
and like I ran into Beyonce,
and Beyonce was like,
did you enjoy the concert?
I was like, yes, the concert was popping.
It's Instagram, so we ain't got that much time.
Yeah, but you have to know,
like Beyonce, she smells so good.
She smelled like coconut.
So great to bite.
Who bit her?
So the person who bit Beyonce was, now what?
The car's here?
All right.
Definitely Jennifer Lawrence.
Star of the Hunger Games.
It only makes sense.
So then she posted on her Instagram, okay, GQ, she ready, the last black unicorn.
And she said, y'all forgot I am in the hive too.
And just know this, I will always speak my truth.
That's not going to stop.
The queen bee kept me from doing something
half of you bees would have done no matter what.
To me, she is a shero and a great person.
I've learned so much from her in just a short amount of time.
So no matter what, she has a unicorn that has her back.
Right.
And she put a whole bunch of bees because she's part of the
beehive as well. I'll drop one of Clues Bond's
Tiffany Haddish, damn it. Alright, now
Birdman has posted another picture of
him and Lil Wayne. He said,
me and my son. We told you before
the two of them were spotted together at Club
Live in Miami. They actually reunited
there. They didn't come together, but
they actually did have a hug and a conversation.
So we'll see what happens.
I mean, the Carter Five is, according to Birdman, going to finally come out this year.
And there's still that $51 million lawsuit against Birdman and Cash Money Records that was filed back in 2015.
So I don't know if they're working things out or what.
Hopefully they are.
Hopefully we'll get some new music and Wayne will get paid.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Report.
All right, the People's Choice Mix is up next.
Let me know what you want to hear at DJ Envy.
Get your request in right now.
It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Had enough of this country?
Ever dreamt about starting your own?
I planted the flag.
This is mine. I own this.
It's surprisingly easy.
55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not. No country willingly gives up their territory. I own this. It's surprisingly easy. 55 gallons of water, 500 pounds of concrete.
Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.
