Angela Yee.
I'm a sweetheart, but I'll cut you.
Charlamagne Tha God.
Principals and people.
I can't believe you guys are the best, kid.
Collectively known as Breakfast Club, bitches.
Good morning, USA. What kind of feeling? Had a cavity causing me a little bad breath. You know what I mean? Filling, filling. Salute to everybody out there who may need a filling right now or a root canal but don't know it and you wonder why your mouth stinks.
You keep trying to put in gum and suck mints and all kind of stuff, but it ain't working.
All day long, you got morning breath.
Morning breath in the mid-afternoon.
Well, you know, I'm an expert at going to the dentist.
Because your uncle's a dentist.
Yes, and my dad actually manages the office. And I tell you this, when you have a toothache,
you should really be concerned when it stops hurting
because that means the nerve is dead.
That means that you need a root canal.
Ooh, that's when your breath gets real thick.
Real bad.
Lord have mercy.
As soon as your tooth is hurting,
that's why you need to go to the dentist and take care of it.
That's the difference between having a filling from a cavity
and having to get a root canal.
It's all bad.
You should go see the dentist twice a year if you can.
You ever smell somebody's breath and be like,
dang, somebody smelled like something went in your mouth and died.
It did.
It's called a nerve.
You need a root canal.
And shout to Uncle Yee and Papa Yee.
Yes.
Some of their correct names.
I just call them Uncle Yee and Papa Yee.
That's Dr. Gary Yee in Westfield, New Jersey.
There you go.
That'll help you out if you need one.
Oh, no, not Westfield.
Carteret, New Jersey.
Carteret, New Jersey. That'll help you out if you need it. Oh, no, not Westfield. Carteret, New Jersey. Carteret, New Jersey.
That'll help you out
if you need it.
It's not painful.
Yeah.
Whatever you need.
Well, I got my filling done,
so I'll be talking
a lot more than usual,
especially in your face.
There you go.
You know, when you know
your breath don't smell too good,
you try to stay away from people.
Talk down at an angle.
Now I'm straight at you.
Straight at you like this.
What's happening?
Well, I had a long night yesterday.
Did you?
Yes, apparently.
Now, this has been going on for two days now.
Somebody keeps calling and delivering food to my address.
So...
Who was it?
I don't know who it is.
What kind of food?
Somebody's trying to be funny.
So, first they called Papa John's last night at like 1 in the morning.
Is it paid for?
No, it's not paid for.
Oh, that's funny.
Yeah.
I didn't think about that.
I should have done that when I was a kid. That would be funny. It seems like a kid doing it. Do. Is it paid for? No, it's not paid for. Oh, that's funny. Yeah. I didn't think about that.
I should have did that when I was a kid.
That would be funny.
It seems like a kid doing it.
Do they know it's you?
Yeah, because it has
my name on it,
but it has somebody else's
phone number,
but it's like one of those
voice IP numbers.
You don't mind people
just having your address
like that?
Well, I don't know
who it is, Charlamagne.
There's some random person,
clearly.
If you live on my block,
you know I live there.
Ooh.
Right.
So then they did
the same thing last night,
but they kept sending sending Like I came home
I wasn't even home
And there was like
Two delivery people
Outside trying to deliver stuff
Then another person came
That is funny
Yeah so
That's not funny
That's actually
Kind of dangerous
That random people
Know her address like that
I actually ended up
Having to do a police report
So the police came last night
Really
It took them a couple hours
It was a whole long process
But they get into information
Because the person
Left their phone number.
And then I had to call Grubhub and everything
because they've been calling Grubhub and Papa John's and doing this.
Oh, that edible dildo coming.
That edible dildo is on its way.
He's just working his way up.
He's been sending the appetizers, but that man calls coming.
Yeah, they said they have the person's email address
and IP address and all that.
I mean, it's so easy to get somebody's house address now.
It's very difficult to keep it away from anybody.
Yeah, it's really hard.
You probably could Google.
Just Google somebody and it's that simple.
You know you can get all that stuff erased, right?
You can, but they can still find it.
You know you can get all that stuff erased, right?
Trust me, people that live on your block know your address.
I don't live on a block.
Okay.
I live in a cul-de-sac.
Drop on a clue bomb for me, damn it.
You know what? You turn that up.
Turn that bomb up so they can hear this. I live in a
cul-de-sac, damn it. Drop on a clues bomb.
But people know where your sack is. Okay.
No, they don't.
They have no clue. Lots of guys.
They have no clue. Oh my goodness. Trust me on that one.
Alright, well, Houston was
amazing. I had a fun time in Houston. Got back last
night. The only problem with Houston is the food is
too damn good. I stepped on the time in Houston. Got back last night. The only problem with Houston is the food is too damn good.
I stepped on the scale last night and it was all bad.
I got to reset.
It was bad.
But let's reset.
It was bad.
Like, shout out to everybody.
You went out of town this weekend.
Now it's time to reset.
You done gained 7, 8, 9, 10 pounds.
Okay, Houston does it to you.
Everything is fried.
Everything is good.
Now let's reset.
Now let's reset as a family.
Everybody, let's reset.
Let's go.
Front page news. What we doing?
We are going to talk about
Donald Trump. We don't have to.
Yeah, we kind of do. We really don't.
We kind of do because there's a lot going on and there's no way
you can address these things and not know about them.
Alright, we'll get to that when we come back. Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's Bad and Bougie.
You know, so we really
never had no old money.
What's up, boy?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Migos, bad and bougie.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
And good morning.
We like to ask everybody to call us up and tell us why you're blessed.
Blessings on blessings on blessings.
We'd love to hear some positivity, some positive news in your life.
Whatever you're going through that's positive, call
us up now. We'll put you on the air.
800-585-1051. Well, it is a balance of
righteousness and righteousness because we do to tell them why you're mad.
And then we have people call up and see why they're
blessed and highly favored. We'll do that in a little bit.
Yeah, we'll do that in a little bit. But right now, just call us
up and tell us why you're blessed. All right? Let's get
some front page news.
Now, the sports, the Patriots,
if you're a Patriot fan,
the parade will go down today in Boston.
You going, Envy?
No.
Tom Brady actually posted on Instagram.
He said, catch me at the parade.
How about that?
Trying to sound like the little chick from Dr. Phil.
But I will say this. This is one thing that we didn't take into consideration the other two.
Another record was broken the other night on Sunday.
What?
Tom Brady's the first person to beat the Internet.
You know how we always say the Internet is undefeated?
That's true. Tom Brady beat the Internet on Sunday night. Right Tom Brady's the first person to beat the internet. You know how we always say the internet is undefeated? That's true.
Tom Brady beat the internet
on Sunday night.
Right.
Because the internet
had him buried.
Like, we had him in the grave
putting the dirt on him
and he rose from that casket
and defeated the internet.
Like, the Michael Jordan face
was almost on him.
It was 75%.
75%
and he beat it.
So, drop on the clues, Bob,
for that white man
beating the internet.
He's also one of the first players I ever seen didn't take the jet back with the team.
Oh, he took a private jet.
He took his private jet with his wife and kids.
Yeah, I guess after all that.
All right.
Now let's talk about Trump.
What are we talking about with Trump?
Oh, man.
So many different things.
First of all, Donald Trump is not welcome to address Parliament.
The UK Speaker has said that.
They're going to block him from speaking.
Speaker John Burkhardt said he was strongly opposed to Donald Trump
addressing Parliament during an upcoming state visit to the UK
because they oppose racism and sexism
and they support equality and an independent judiciary.
Here's what he had to say.
As far as this place is concerned,
I feel very strongly that our opposition to racism and to sexism and our support for equality before the law and an independent judiciary are hugely important considerations in the House of Commons.
Dropping a clues bomb for the UK.
It's not looking good for us.
We should feel the same way, though.
Like, why are we embracing racism?
Why are we embracing discrimination and bigotry?
F that.
All right, well, Donald Trump is also saying that he feels like the White House,
that he feels like the media is not covering terrorist attacks at all.
Here's what he had to say.
Radical Islamic terrorists are determined to strike our homeland as they did on 9-11,
as they did from Boston to Orlando to San Bernardino and all across Europe.
You've seen what happened in Paris and Nice all over Europe.
It's happening.
It's gotten to a point where it's not even being reported.
And in many cases, the very, very dishonest press doesn't want to report it.
They have their reasons, and you understand that.
Well, Donald Trump got to stop watching SNL and start watching the news
because we are very aware of every single situation he just named.
I thought I'd see a lot of them on TV.
Yeah, he even lists, so let me tell you what they did.
The White House actually gave a list of 78 attacks that they felt like
were not widely reported among those on the list.
The Orlando nightclub shooting.
That was on the list?
Yes.
No way.
The San Bernardino shooting.
Oh my goodness.
The Paris attacks.
All of these were on the list
and they were very widely reported,
very extensively.
Now here's what Sean Spicer had to say.
Look, I think the president's comments
were very clear at the time.
He felt as though members of the media
don't always cover some of those events to the extent that other events might get covered.
A protest will get blown out of the water, and yet an attack or a foiled attack doesn't necessarily get the same coverage.
See, they're just trying to—they're insulting our intelligence at this point.
Come on now.
But this is the thing, right?
The list of targeted countries is what?
Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. None of the perpetrators of the major U.S. terrorist attacks
carried out in the name of Islam in the past 15 years
have come from any of those countries.
Like all of those terrorist attacks he named
didn't come from none of the countries on the list.
Right.
So what's the problem?
It's a financial thing.
It seems like it's personal for him.
Now I want to talk about the Women's March
because the organizers from the Women's March from last month
have announced yesterday they want to have a general strike
at a date to be determined.
It's called General Strike, A Day Without a Woman,
date to be announced.
So they're going to have a day where, you know,
just to show how important we are as women.
Drop on the clues bombs for them women.
Tamika Mallory, Linda Sossauer, Carmen Perez.
That's actually a great idea.
I thought African-Americans should come together and do something like that too
and call it a blackout.
All the black people don't show up to do nothing for one day.
Everybody stay home.
Everybody.
No work, no school, no nothing.
Just show the world what it would look like,
well, America, what it would look like without black people.
So just so you guys know, things do matter.
Now, another thing that happened after Delete Uber happened,
Grab Your Wallet boycott happened. Every store
that has anything Trump-related, people have
been not spending money there. And because
of that, Neiman Marcus Nordstrom
has dropped Ivanka Trump's line
and now Macy's is feeling the pressure to do the same thing.
Okay. Alright, well that's
front page news. Now tell them why you're mad.
800-585-1051
If you're upset, you need to vent, call us up right now.
Maybe you had a bad night, maybe you're still upset The Falcons lost, whatever it may be
Call us up right now
800-585-1051
Tell them why you're mad
And Wyclef Jean will be joining us next time
Wyclef will be joining us, it's The Breakfast Club, good morning
The Breakfast Club We'll be right back. Y'all guys, girls, go home. Go away. Talk about it. And tell me why you mad. Breakfast Club for real. Hello, who's this?
This is Trey, man, from Atlanta.
What up, Trey?
How you?
I'm all right, man.
I'm still hurting, man.
I'm about to, man.
They still got me hurting, man.
Yep, that's how it goes.
It's a wrap.
Maybe next year.
It ain't no minute.
Hey, man, it's hard, man.
But, hey, it's going to be all right.
It's going to be all right.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, it's Carmen. Hey, Carmen. Tell them why you mad be all right. It's going to be all right. Hello, who's this? Hey, it's Carmen.
Hey, Carmen.
Tell them why you mad, mama.
Carmen or Karma?
Carmen.
Carmen.
Carmen.
Why you mad, mama?
I'm dating this little guy.
He's nice.
You know, we started, like, at his time in sex, and he's too quick for me.
And he's a nice guy, but I just can't.
What do you mean he's too quick?
He busts his off ass?
Yeah.
Damn.
But you know what?
That's because your poom-poom's so good, boo.
But that's the excuse I use.
Well, is he able to go again after?
He is.
He is able to go again, but I can't even say it.
It's kind of quick.
He should be happy.
That should be good.
That should be a good thing.
She's not happy if she's not getting hers, though.
Because once I go, I'm going to sleep.
She's not satisfied.
Ma, ma. She's not satisfied. You need to tell him to do a lot once I go, I'm going to sleep. She's not satisfied. Ma, ma.
She's not satisfied.
You need to tell him to do a lot more foreplay for you then.
Yeah, he got a mouth, right, ma?
Yeah, and he's scared.
I ain't grabbing by his lips and say what that jaw do, sir.
That's all.
And as soon as he tells you, uh-oh, I'm about, then you got to stop.
They didn't stop.
Yeah, you know when you're about to bust.
Just stop.
You got to learn how to control himself and get his rhythm right.
Right, you're right.
I'm going to take that advice
because right now,
I just, you know,
I don't want to cheat on him,
but I got to go out and eat.
Lord have mercy.
Hello, who's this?
Hello, this is James Johnson.
James, tell them why you mad.
Man, I had a temp job
down here in Charlotte.
I had a temp job
and they closed the damn temp
out of nowhere
on the second day of work.
Boy, I ain't got a lot of temp jobs.
The temp place used to keep a brother alive
back in the day, bro.
Man, no drug test.
Me and my cousin got on there.
God sent.
It was a God sent, man.
I'm thinking we're going to get paid.
Man, that temp...
Second day.
Oh, go ahead.
Second day in, 12 o'clock,
they come tell us that they're closing.
We got to sign with another temp agency.
Whatever.
We still going to get paid our $11 an hour, 12-hour shift.
I'm good.
Okay.
We got to go through the whole hiring process again.
Them temp services back in the day used to be like a choose-your-own-adventure book.
You never knew you had to go for that day or for the week.
Yeah, and I was good with that.
They're talking about, can you work a day?
I can come in and work a day.
You damn right.
I'm going to come get that $34, whatever it is.
You damn right.
Now, what if they offer you a full-time job?
Do you want it?
Yes.
Okay.
But see, the whole thing is I can't even continue to work at the Cherries Berries
because the temp agency won't hire us.
Our temp agency spread us out to be hired by the other temp agencies
that was working at the company,
and we got to be hired all over, and they that was working at the company and we gotta be hired
all over and they gotta drug test us.
Did you say Sherry's Berries?
I love Sherry's Berries, man.
Yeah, Sherry's Berries was sweet.
That was sweet. That was easy.
Alright, man.
Keep going, my brother.
I used to work at the temp service, man.
Tell them why you're mad.
800-585-1050. What was the craziest job you had, Charlamagne?
Craziest job I ever had, I worked at a flower garden.
I worked at a flower garden on Highway 52 in Moncks Corner, South Carolina.
So you was a botanist.
I used to be the only, used to be like all immigrants out there.
Everybody that Donald Trump wants to keep out the country,
there used to be nothing but Mexicans out there,
and I was like the only black dude.
And I only worked there for like a week and a half, two weeks.
I couldn't take it.
We'd be out there in the hot 110 degree South Carolina weather.
That's the problem.
Why couldn't you take it?
It was too much, man.
I was young.
And then one day the bus, the school bus came by and all the kids saw me and laughed at
me.
And I was like, oh, F that.
I'm going to go sell crack.
Oh, great.
Go back to selling this crack.
Great story.
Great.
All right.
It's in my book, Black Privilege.
Opportunity comes to those
who create it,

Oh, man, I'm blessed, man
Because, you know, before
I thought I was a God, man
When I had it all
Then I lost it all
You know what I mean?
And then I realized
That I wasn't a God at all
You know what I'm saying?
I was being manipulated
You know what I'm saying?
By the materialistic thing of this world And then when I found God Oh't a God at all. You know what I'm saying? I was being manipulated, you know what I'm saying, by the materialistic thing of this world.
And then when I found God, oh, man.
Isn't it so great?
You know what I'm saying?
You hear me?
First of all, sir, material things don't make you a God.
You're a God without material things, sir.
There you go.
But he found God.
And ain't that a great feeling?
God ain't lost.
I hate when people say they found God.
God ain't never been lost.
He had no idea of God.
Yeah, you ain't.
Exactly.
I hate when they say that. I found God. God right here. God all around us. they found God. God ain't never been lost. He had no idea of God. Yeah, you ain't. I hate when they say that.
I found God.
God right here.
God all around us.
He discovered God.
Yeah, he discovered.
No, he finally went to God.
There you go.
How about that?
Hello?
Hello?
Hey, who's this?
Eric from Plains, Missouri.
What's up, man?
You feeling blessed today, bro?
You won the lottery?
Yes, sir.
No, I didn't win the lottery.
I'm just blessed that I was an addict and now I'm clean.
What you was an addict for?
Oh, man.
That's a hard one to kick.
You ever suck penis for heroin?
Shut up, Charlamagne.
He's blessed.
Well, I'm really happy to hear that.
15 years, you are good and clean now.
How's your family?
Hey, what's the craziest thing you ever did for heroin, bro, bro?
Punch you in your mouth.
Oh, see, you mad at me because you used to be a heroin addict.
He's supposed to be talking about bless, okay?
You're messing up.
You mad at me because you used to be a heroin addict.
Come on, now.
Just say we glad he's off heroin, man.
Listen, you need to tell those stories.
I'm glad, you know what I mean?
So why would you ask me questions?
Because you need to tell those stories because those type of stories keep people from using heroin.
I actually heard it.
If you're a heroin addict and you told me, man,
one time I had to suck three men's penises for a hit,
that'll scare me and be like, whoa, I got to stay away from that heroin.
Or it might make you want to do it.
I do do things.
I talk to the kids.
There you go.
What do you tell them?
You know what I mean?
I let them know that that ain't the way to go.
And you give them examples.
Oh, stop it, man.
You do, though.
Charlamagne, we're focusing on his blessing right now.
Charlamagne, take it down, bro. Yeah, take it down.
But we're glad you... It's always the people who ain't up
that are always telling you to take it down.
He's up now.
Have a blessed day, sir.
Have a good morning, sir. Alright, you too, sir.
Alright. Tell them why you're blessed. We do that

You'll be good.
All right, well, let's get to the rumors
and talk a new biopic.
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, Mr. Dalvin from Jodeci posted on Instagram,
me and JoJo up in the Bay Area.
Yes, the Jodeci biopic is coming.
For all the casting inquiries, they will be announced soon.
Thanks for the love and support.
Here he is on Instagram.
Well, they actually went, they started the process last September.
They just finished the script and we're going into production next month.
So we're looking at probably
like the end of the year release.
Do you know what channel you're
just going to film it first?
Well, VH1 bought the rights.
They're on the rights so far.
Who?
VH1.
You can't do a Jodeci biopic
without doing Uptown Records first.
VH1 should do a story
of Uptown Records first.
That'll cover how Andre Harrell
discovered Jodeci
and Mary J. Blige and Heavy D.
Then you branch out
into the individual movies.
Treat it like a Marvel movie.
Take your time.
Give us Uptown Records first, then give us the individual superhero movies.
That would be the smart thing to do.
I'm not mad at that.
No, they are.
I feel like they can all stand alone.
Yeah, but why?
When you got this historic label, Uptown Records, it could be like the new Cadillac Records.
You give us Uptown first, then give us the individual stories.
Eat for a year.
Why eat once when you can eat for a long time?
I don't feel like it even has to go in order, though.
No, no, no.
I agree. If you really think about it, time? It has to go in order, though. No, no, no. I agree.
But see,
if you really think about it,
Jodeci is really
an African-American group.
New Edition
was kind of crossed over.
New Edition was broad.
Yes, absolutely.
But if you start off
with Uptown
and then you get into
everything that Uptown signed.
Absolutely.
Well, maybe Jodeci
signed a deal
and they want to get
their money now.
Maybe VH1 needs to sit down
with Andre Harrell first.
Yeah, they should do
the Uptown movie first.
Well, listen,
it looks like they already
is getting ready,
underway, started.
I'm telling you
how this went down.
It was in a corporate boardroom.
The TLC movie worked.
Like, who can we do next?
Boyz II Men, Jody.
See, they took a vote
so Mike probably said Jody.
Because who was on Uptown?
You got Mary was on Uptown.
Mary J. Blige,
Heavy D,
Al B. Shaw,
Christopher Williams,
McGruff,
Horace Grant,ath Horace Grant
Horace Brown
Jeff Ray
come on man
that's all I'm saying
Puff was the intern
at Uptown Records
Andre Harrell
gave all those dudes
they thought you gotta
start with Uptown first
then branch out
to the individual
I don't usually agree with you
but yeah I agree with this
you need to start agreeing with me
I'm the one with the sense
keep treating me like
I'm Rafiki from the line
I'm excited for a Jodeci movie, period.
It's going to be good.
It could be better.
It could be more broad.
Yes, it could be bigger.
All right, now Power has added Lorenz Tate to the cast, so that's pretty exciting.
He's going to have a recurring role on the new season.
They said he's going to join as Councilman Rashad Tate, who's a city councilman from Jamaica, Queens.
Who is that now?
Lorenz Tate.
Lorenz Tate. Drop one of Clues bombs? Lorenz Tate. Lorenz Tate.
Drop one of the clues bombs for Lorenz Tate.
Oh, dog.
48 years old, still looking 19.
Look like he ain't never had a piece of red meat in his life.
Don't do nothing but drink water.
And vegetables.
Now back to the Super Bowl.
Lady Gaga, her halftime show was the second most watched halftime show in history.
Who's number one?
Number one is Katy Perry.
Really? Over Beyonce? He said it like he knew Beyonce was number. Who's number one? Number one is Katy Perry. Really?
Oh, Beyonce?
He said it like he knew
Beyonce was number one.
Who number one?
By the way, I love Katy.
Y'all know I love me
some Katy Perry now.
But, man, for real?
That's right.
She's number one
and Lady Gaga is now number two.
Where's Beyonce on that list?
Just curious, you know?
I don't know.
I think it is in the top five, though.
Okay.
Because I remember they had
a whole list of the most watched ones.
I know Janet Jackson was up there. What about Michael? What, Michael did it? Yeah, he was up in the top five, though. Okay. Because I remember they had a whole list of the most watched ones. I know Janet Jackson was up there.
What about Michael?
Well, Michael did it.
Yeah, he was up in the top ten.
Okay.
Also.
All right.
So in addition to that, she actually ended up selling 150,000 digital albums and songs
in the United States.
But, you know, the Super Bowl does get bigger and bigger every year, though.
So I guess it does.
That's why.
Right.
Still surprised Katy Perry's number one, though.
Well, she is.
Alright, and Tom Brady in the meantime, his
jersey got stolen after the game.
Now, according to reports,
they said a Patriots equipment manager
actually took the jersey and put it in a safe
place for Tom Brady. They said it wasn't
stolen, but Tom Brady spoke
at a news conference and said the jersey is
still missing and he's concerned that it's going to end
up on eBay.
But if you put it up on eBay, won't it come right back to you?
Can't you be in trouble for that?
Well, he's looking out for it.
Yeah, it's numbered.
I thought they said they had it.
I thought the equipment guy had it.
Yeah, the equipment guy said he has it,
but Tom Brady says he still hasn't received it.
It's still missing.
Yeah, they got that.
That ain't going nowhere.
All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that's your Rumor Reports.
I always wonder how you can even prove that's the jersey he played in for the game.
I think they're numbered.
They're all numbered.
Oh, gotcha.
They're all numbered.
Like the balls, the footballs, and the baseballs are all numbered,
so when they hit a home run, they know exactly what ball it was and everything. Gotcha.
All right.
Well, when we come back, Wyclef Jean will be joining us.
We'll kick it with Wyclef, of course, from the Fuji.
So don't go anywhere.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Another one.
That was DJ Khaled for free.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
We got the legendary families.
Wyclef Jean is in the building.
What's up, my family?
He just put out an EP, Juvert.
No, Juve.
Juve.
I'm not Haitian, man.
What's that mean?
You don't have to be Haitian.
It's Caribbean.
Oh, it's Caribbean? It's straight up the night before the carnival
In Brooklyn baby
And it's alright
Leave it up to me to come up with a word
Make it hard to pronounce
No Juvé is like first of all
So much fun because I'm from Brooklyn too
So Juvé is like a big deal
But they also tell you when you're young not to go
Out that night
Did somebody get shot there last year?
It's part of the carn night. Did someone get shot there last year? Yeah, yeah.
It's part of the carnival.
You can't get shot.
You got to be careful.
Brooklyn's a tricky place.
They stay out all night.
What exactly is Juve for?
Because I've always... Juve is sort of like, it's the turn up before the turn up.
So we figure like, you know, we're going to be on that parkway that whole day.
So that whole night before, you're drinking, you're partying, you're having a great time.
You know, you're just watching out for danger.
It's sort of like a big tradition
like within carnival.
Like, because the idea,
like Haitian carnival is like
literally you party like three days
with Trinidad.
It's the same vibe.
Could you please tell E1
nobody makes CDs no more, though?
That's right.
Come on.
But listen to this, right?
Watch this. You ready for for this just look at the
charts right around the world maybe here they don't make cds but this right here is already
top five in canada and in quebec they buy cds so you still got to make the physicality of certain
places so even though in the states like my daughter ain't buying no cds she just hit that
she turned on that smartphone but what happens is like
they're still like
so when you
still
cause we still have fans
that are our age
that has carnival
and different people
and those people are still like
CD covers
like in certain countries
but here in the states
they definitely don't make them
I know you don't got a CD player
no I don't even know
I have one in my car though
I always pop know I always actually
listen to CDs in the car. Okay, but y'all got
the smartphones. And I could
save it into the hard drive in the car.
But I still prefer digital just because, you know how many
copies of Only Built for Cuban Links I
had to buy? How many copies of Illmatic
I had to buy? Well, digital just makes
everything, like, just easier.
Absolutely. You know what I mean? Now, I heard an interesting
story on the Combat Jack show.
Fat Joe was on.
And I just thought it was interesting.
I actually listened to it yesterday.
He said that you walked into Big Pun's funeral playing a guitar.
So you brought a speaker and a guitar and you walked in playing.
And the thing was, it's supposed to be disrespectful to play music when a Spanish person dies.
So when you walked in, everybody thought you was tripping, but you just won the crowd over, had everybody crying.
Well, I mean, there's two things.
It's if you come pure and you come with your heart and you come raw.
So at the end of the day, my connection with Pun
was I just remember us in the islands,
and I was basically on piano, and he was freestyling.
He was like, go ahead, twin, play that piano.
So it was like at the end of
the day i felt like if there was anything that i could do would be just to really just show up with
a guitar and i knew like if i was pure that because i didn't go to really win the crowd over
i went to like really just pay tribute and um but once again everyone has their tradition and you know literally like probably
like a minute in it was sort of like because you're just trying to touch that spirit it's
an emotional time and um and definitely uh the crowd was um like uh even like fat joe i just
remember everybody just being in tears but for me i just felt like that's what I could do. Just, you know, like knowing him and like my short time spent with him,
I was like, he would probably want me to show up and be like,
yo, twin, play that guitar, sing something, you know?
And what song was it?
It was like a gift of music.
Yeah, Fat Joe said it was Maria Maria.
I'm like, that don't sound like a funeral song.
Yeah, no, it was like a mixture of just like the, you know,
I had a song that I had wrote and then inside of it still like within like the Maria Maria, you know, I just want to be like Maria, you know, it was it was just to say like, but the story of Maria is still a deep one because it's like that whole West Side story, you know, gang story, this gang versus that gang. But it was just more an emotional moment of time and just wanted to capture something.
Because, you know, for me, it's like,
if I get called to sing at a JFK's son funeral, you know,
and only two black people there is me and Muhammad Ali,
and then, big pun, it's like at the end of the day,
it's the same respect for me.
Because it's like I'm from that hip-hop culture.
So it's like, it's no because it's like i'm from that hip-hop culture so it's like it's no difference to me so i honor that i would have to honor that the same way i honor the
kennedy thing and i figured um the family and the culture would respect that if you just come pure
or they don't come pure you know it would have been a different story in there absolutely for me
now why is this an ep because there's 10 songs it. I know there's 13 on the deluxe edition.
Isn't this a full album?
No, it's an EP because half of it is in acoustic form.
So you have remixes of similar songs.
And it's crazy because literally like in seven years,
I haven't been in this commercial space.
So it's nuts.
We was talking about streaming and digital.
The song Hendrix is already at 10 million in streams.
So the analytics of the kids are just so real right now.
So it's almost like I remember I was having a conversation with Envy.
And then the idea was like, I remember when Envy came to see me,
he was like, no matter what, just don't stop putting out music.
Because the way that it works right now,
you literally have to have something out every couple of weeks, know so in taking that advice i mean really we really back
like right now we're on 16 different charts around the world like top 50 it's and this is just an ep
it's different with guys like you know because it's not like you're still trying to be relevant
you're a legend already yeah but you know i was having that conversation because um
so i go in the studio with young thug and i was telling people what happens is when the kids bring
you in like whether if it's drake or whatever you like you say at the end of the day you still just
have to be you i think the trick starts to be when you try to adapt to what the kids are doing.
And I think the reason why they come in to get you is because they heard the score.
They heard the carnival.
They're like, where that is.
And I think sometimes, a lot of us, sometimes we lose ourselves.
You know what I mean?
In that, because you still want to stay relevant.
But these kids really are looking up to you because of these albums that you've had.
And Young Thug had to reach out to you, right?
To clear.
Yeah.
So you can't just call a song Wyclef Jean without clearing it?
No, you can't.
You can't.
You know, because it's my name.
So basically...
And it was all going to be about something you don't want to represent.
Yeah, but it was crazy because I get the call,
and Lior was tracking me down, like,
yo, Young Thug is looking for you, you know?
And I get to Atlanta, and, you know, he's like,
yo, you see, bloody, my shirt Atlanta and, you know, he's like, yo, you see bloody my shirt,
my tat, Haiti, my daughter, Haiti,
my project, Haiti.
Man, I wish I was from Haiti, right?
So it's like the side of history
that he chose to know.
It's almost like you got kids studying you
without you even knowing.
And then in the next couple of years,
there'll be a kid who's doing what you're doing. And then he'll
tell you stories about you that you can't remember.
And I think that's
the impact that we have.
And then we understand our responsibilities.
Because we street people.
Hard street people. But we never
talk about it. And we never glorify
it. We more like say, look, at the end
of the day, y'all can get up from the streets and do
something positive. Alright, that was Wyclef. We got more with him in minutes. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
That was Notorious B.I.G. with Big Papa. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club. Wyclef Jean is in the building. Charlamagne.
Why the hell does Young Thug remind you of a modern day Tupac?
Well, you know the internet switch bait people.
Okay.
So what did you really say?
He's like, read the whole article and see what I mean.
Yeah, but I did say that.
But of course you have to say that because of the viewers.
In context.
Yeah, of course.
And then, so past the switch bait, which whatever article did that, I hope they got their hits
and made their money. In meeting Tupac
in Europe, the combination
of the thug life, the Haiti tat,
and the part of history
that he chose to know,
but people would consider him a band-aid
because he don't choose to know the other part of history.
So I was amazed by
Thugger's
love for Haiti in the
1804, that revolution, I'm not expecting
him to even have that.
Like, out of everything I'm expecting
him to know, it's not that
part of, because that, they don't
even teach you that in school. And then
with Pac, the Black
Panther, that side of it, because
you know, you got a side where you fight in the street
and then that revolution side.
So in context, it was in a music conversation and then the work ethics that every time i land i
gotta be in the studio i gotta find a studio and going in with with douga he was like look i just
learned how to do trap music clef let me show you what i do that's how i knew i could have put him
on i swear man dude play like 40 records that got nothing to do with nothing.
And it's that work ethics. That was the content. So I had nothing to do with music at all.
I mean, it's definitely two different generations of music. You know what I mean?
Like we're from the park generation. But because people are so sensitive when it come to park, when it comes to Biggie.
So it's like when you say something, you have to put it in context.
It's like the other day, the Martin Luther King.
Martin Luther King comes, you know, it's his birthday,
and I'm like, all lives matter.
Oh, man.
Oh, yeah, that was it for you.
Yo, when I tell you, when I tell you, it went, it went.
And then I don't really, I don't delete nothing.
The reason why I delete that is because, first of all, if you're going to put it out there, you got to be willing to deal with it, right?
Our country was so divided, and I was like, I ain't about to go into no Twitter war.
That's not what I do.
I deleted it, right?
But I didn't stop.
I deleted it so I could take the kids or the people at the time that were so sensitive.
I was like, look, here's an interview like a year and a half ago.
Look at this.
What am I talking about?
Yes, Black Lives Matter.
That's an automatic thing.
This is a what are you doing for me right now type of game, Clef.
They don't care about that.
But you understand why people are sensitive about that.
Yeah, but what happens is sensitivity is good, but past the emotion,
it's about policy and legislation.
So at the end of the day, my remarks was based on Martin Luther King.
And for Martin Luther King to get what he had to get to, even within his speech, he had to unite everybody.
He was an engager.
Yeah, absolutely.
Now, it's been 23, I think 23 years, they said, since Blunt in all reality?
Yeah.
So this is the 20th year anniversary of the carnival, right?
Okay.
Last year was, yeah, to your point, yeah, it's 23.
Blunt it.
Score was 96.
Okay.
So like, what, two years?
Two years.
Yeah.
You got any favorite memories from those times?
So, I remember, man, we had a big show, Uptown Harlem, man, with Wu-Tang Clan.
Jesus.
And Smith & Wesson.
And then they put the Fugees on the bill.
You feel what I'm saying to you?
So, I'll never forget that, man.
So, we get there, and could you imagine, like, that kind of show?
You could imagine.
And we showing up with, like, drum sets and everything.
I already pre-warned my crew.
I was like, look, man, set everything up, but leave it close to the exit.
So it's literally, like, the drum in the middle.
You know, we make sure that the drum is far,
because if something's going to happen,
you got to be ready to take your instruments and move.
You talk to other people, you move.
No, no.
I knew that there would be, something was going to break out that night.
Between Wool, Smith and, like, Fugees.
It was just, the mix was like, block to block, something was going to happen.
And yes, it surely did happen.
All I did, I just remember, man, if Method Man could remember this, I just remember that.
It was a crazy show.
But a fight broke out.
It was almost like Israelites, Wu-Tang Clan.
You know, we in the middle of this.
You know, I told my manager, my tour manager at the time, Hassan Sharif, what's his name, brother?
I was like, look, man, just go get the money before we even start the show.
Yeah, please, so we can run and just get out of here.
I remember that. And then we get run and just get out of here. I remember that.
And then we get outside, and then I remember ODB.
Because now it's a big fight outside.
And ODB was like, man, I love the Fugees,
but I'm going to whip somebody's ass, man.
It was almost like, yeah, because it looked like,
and then Pryze was on the side.
Pryze had a bottle in his hand.
Pryze cracked the bottle, you know, did the whole movie thing,
you know, the whole Shottas thing.
Who I want, who I want, who I want.
So y'all was fighting the Wu-Tang or y'all was just there?
No, it was because of the tension.
Everybody, it was almost like a Mexican standoff.
You know what I'm saying to you?
And I think at the end of the day, the tension was because the fight broke out
and a lot of, I don't think people got paid that.
But we definitely took our money early.
I went in the venue early.
I scoped the place out.
I did that early intel like, yo, this this don't look good right here, you know.
So that was incredible because years later now I'm in the studio with ODB and I'm trying to get him to remember that story.
And I mean, people say, yo, it's going to be difficult
working with him. Like, you ain't going to be able to get a
verse out of him. When he rizzed, he could get it.
And he comes in the studio when I was
doing that ghetto superstar for Pryze.
And he literally goes in the booth
and, you know, I'm a little nervous
because dude's like, yo, you can't get a verse out of him.
You might be good, but you're not that good.
Man, literally, man, the dude gets in the
vocal booth and he's like,
I have to hear this dolphin frequency for three minutes.
But I'm acting like nothing wrong.
You feel me?
I'm acting normal.
I got the game normal.
I got that Super Bowl face.
Game face.
Yo, and then three minutes.
Did you tell him it was hot?
That's hot.
I'm just listening because I got to see where it's going.
Because if it's whack, I'm going to have to say something.
Man, three minutes in, this dude just started to spit out of nowhere.
And that's when Riz is talking about his genius.
That's sort of like how his genius was.
So for me, that was one of the most memorable things I can remember.
I remember seeing the Fugees perform with Outkast.
Oh, that was an incredible show.
I went to that show. I remember that was. It was like Goody Mob, Fugees, and Outkast. Oh, that was an incredible show. I went to that show.
I remember that was.
It was like Goody Mob, Fugees, and Outkast.
That was a whole show.
That's not a classic.
It was just nuts.
Yeah, that was an incredible show.
I was like, we're not missing that one.
Now, was Lauryn Hill chronically late to Fugee shows like that she is now?
No, no, no.
Nobody could be late to no Fugee show.
You got to be on time.
I'm just saying like back in, you know, it's different back in the days, like, you know, because you're promoting, right?
You have to be focused, like, when it came to that.
So everyone was basically on time.
But, of course, this is years later, you know.
Who do you think Lauryn ranks as far as greatest of all time?
Because it comes to a point for me
where I'm like, look, man,
the Miseducation of Lauren Hill
is a phenomenal album,
classic album,
but we might be overrating it.
Overrating...
That album, not at all.
Not the album,
but overrating where we put her
in the greatest of all time
with that one body of work.
Well, no, I disagree.
I think she's one of the greatest.
And I think that what happens top 5 though?
and come on she was on the Fuji's albums also
you can't forget all that work too
this is why I rate her
top 5 female within our generation
because I was in the studio with Whitney Houston
I recorded Whitney
and I was in the studio with Lauren
I was in the studio with Beyonce
so all of this I was in the studio with Shakira there was in the studio with Beyonce. So all of this, I was in the studio with Shakira.
There's just something about her
that is just an it factor
as far as me being a PK
and when someone sings, you can feel that
anointment. She had that.
Alright, we got more with Wyclef when we come back.
Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
That was Riri with Sex With Me.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God,
We Are The Breakfast Club.
We got Wyclef Jean in the building.
Now, Yee?
Can we introduce your protege, by the way?
Because I don't want people to be like,
Oh, yeah, yeah.
So Jazzy, who's from the Bronx,
she not here yet.
She got lost.
She went to the wrong location.
Yes.
And this is Allison.
Allison, church girl. Similar to to the wrong location. And this is Allison. Allison,
church girl, similar
to Whitney, like church. That's the whole vibe.
I'm a PK. And she's
here. Sorry, I forgot my guitar.
No, it's okay. Allison,
do you feel pressure? Because you just heard
three of the most phenomenal
women in the game
ever that Wyclef has worked with. Lauren Hill,
Beyonce, Shakira.
He's worked with Mary J. Blige. Do you feel
that kind of pressure? At first,
yeah, I did, but
right now I just feel honored.
Like, it's an honor.
So tell us about your situation, how you guys
met. Crazy situation.
Yeah, it's crazy. Okay, so I actually
worked for Heads Music.
I was in administration.
They had asked me to go to the studio to demo a song.
And the song I asked them.
So you worked in administration, and they asked you to go demo a song.
Yeah, because they knew that I can sing, but they never heard me sing, like, at all.
But hold up.
The demo that I wanted her to do, because I was at the World Cup with Rihanna.
And then she was like, oh, I'm glad you back into music.
You know, we're going to catch a vibe.
So I was.
Rihanna said that or Allison?
No, no.
This was Rihanna.
OK, OK.
We was at the World Cup.
She's like, I'm glad you back into music.
She came to the dressing room and everything.
And so I was like, I have a vibe.
This would be good for Rihanna.
So I'm going to demo this and send it to her.
You could go on.
I just want to say that.
Mind you, I didn't know any of that.
So you told everybody you could sing, though.
So everybody knew it. They knew that
was my passion, like that's what I wanted to do.
So the CEO of
Heads Music, Madeline Nelson, took
me to the studio and I
demoed the song for them and
that was that.
I'm actually on
the EP on track number five, Little Things.
Okay.
So, yeah.
It was God, like, honestly.
So you would have never stepped up and been like, hey, Wyclef, you know, I would love to get in the studio and work with you.
I mean, I like mentioned that, but yeah, I'm not like that type of pushy.
Yeah, I was like, you know, I have a strong foundation of spirituality and, you know, just believing that, you know, if it was meant that God was going to just open the door and make
a way in. A lot of pressure, though, because
you could either be Lauryn Hill or
Claudette Ortiz. Right.
Right. Wow.
Exactly. She had a little moment
where, you know, it was very
fleeting. Wow.
How did you feel about Claudette, Cliff?
Did you rank her?
I tell you, man, you always catch me, man.
So what happens, right, with City High,
I felt like a lot of times they didn't get their break they were supposed to
because it's sort of like, you know, people was attached to the Fugees so much.
And it was like, oh, man, there go Clef.
Clef got a scheme.
He trying to create another Fugees.
We ain't going to go for that because we love the Fugees.
It's almost like when you trying to create something, it was hard.
And guess what?
We went through that curse, too, because when we was trying to come out,
there was like, oh, they trying to be like Digable Planet,
even before they even hear the music.
So I felt, so my thing was like, okay, you know what?
I could felt, because they had some great records.
They had a huge record.
That's right.
So then I was like, you know what?
Let me do what I did with Lauren musically,
and let me put her on the record Two Wrongs.
Because they said Two Wrongs don't make a right.
Because I was like, okay, let me start splitting up this thing
so they could be like, okay, she has that thing.
You know what I mean? And then
past that, you know, there's once
again, there's multiple disciplines
in this business and you have
to trust me 100%.
If you don't trust me 100%
and you let your guard
down, something's going to happen.
Lauren,
trust me, 3 trillion percent.
Whitney, 3 trillion percent.
Shakira, Beyonce,
when I was like, this is how it's going to go,
she was like,
okay, this is how it's going to go. So I
think with the City High, there was
so many people after
I was like, the group has to
be these two guys. And she was on
the side like her, quiet. And I was like, what's she do? She said, she sing. I'm like the group has to be these two guys And she was on the side like her Quiet
And I was like what she do
She said she sing
I said oh we got a star here
So after I created that formula
Everyone was like
Pulling and touching
And I think that's sort of like what happened
But once again I still rate that
As far as like one of those talented groups
You know that's not part
of the, um, that
top five legacy we're talking about. So she didn't trust
you 300%? No,
no, I wouldn't say that she
trusts me 300% because
whichever female
put their hands in my career,
like say, you know what, we gonna go, like
I'm telling you, like when I go on with Whitney, I'm
shaking, man, like this, man. She's like, come on, baby,? We're going to go. Like, I'm telling you, like, when I go in with Whitney, I'm shaking, man, like this, man.
She's like, come on, baby, just tell me what to do.
I'm like, man.
But there's nothing wrong with the artist having input if they don't agree either.
Yeah, but I don't want to hear from Claudette Ortiz if Whitney listening to me and Beyonce listening to me.
If all these greats listening to me and then you buck up, I'm like, wait a minute, young girl.
Because is there a question of like, well, you know, you're young and maybe you hear like different things and you
might be like, well, maybe I could try it like this, like some type of input.
Once again, when a plane is taken off, you have to trust the pilot.
You can have your opinions.
I respect the talent of Claudette.
I was just like, I respect the talent.
But at the end of the day, they got to be OK.
This is how we're going to do it.
So you don't think like Lauren, come on, vocally.
She's like, look, I'm hearing like a thousand voices in my head for killing me softly.
This is what's incredible.
Let LeBron be LeBron.
You be the genius.
I'm not trying to take away from your genius.
As a coach, though, I'm just like, okay, we got to win the championship.
And that's why I come in to guide you.
And so in that sense, I felt like the Fugees trust me 100%.
And we got to where we had to get to.
Now, when you found out Claudette was having sex with both members of City High,
did you ever think to yourself, well, why she ain't give me nothing?
I'm the guy that's putting this all together.
It didn't happen like that.
No, because as you know, as an OG, I don't have those problems, right?
Because of the prior mistakes that I made, there was no way that I was going to embark in that situation.
Again, got you.
Because now I was older, I was wiser, you know what I'm saying to you?
But if I knew that it was going to lurk within the situation, maybe I could have intervened and had a conversation. But as everything was going on, it all just all felt natural
until that success come and they all started getting pulled in different places.
Well, Clevjean, Jouvet is out right now.
Thank you for coming, my brother.
Thank you, family.
Thank you, Allison, for joining us.
Allison, we look forward to hearing from you.
A lot of pressure.
A lot of pressure, Allison.
We need to know if you can really sing.
All right.
Yeah, in order to do that, we ain't going to put no beat, no nothing.
I'm a dude like you, like I told Beyonce, four girls in the hotel.
I was like, sing me a church song.
You sure you don't want to stand up now?
Because think about it.
Beyonce, Lauryn Hill, Shakira, Mary J. Blige.
30 seconds.
And Wyclef said you're a church girl, right?
Claudette Ortiz.
So I'm going to sing a little gospel for you guys
Okay
Put your lips on the mic
That's how you become a star in this business
I sing a little loud
Alright
Hey
I know I've been changed.
Oh, I know I've been changed.
Oh, I, oh, I, I, I know I've been changed. The angels in heaven done signed my name.
Wow.
Okay.
I didn't expect all that.
What was he going to say, Charlene?
I was like, who is that singing?
Wow.
Okay.
So in a way, indirectly, you can thank Rihanna too for making all this happen the way it did.
Thank you, Rihanna.
I think you might have something here.
Go ahead, Allison.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Fake love.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Kanye West.
Listen up. It's just in.
All the gossip. The rumor report.
With Angela Yee. It's the rumor report.
The Breakfast Club.
But it appears that Kanye is no longer a fan of Donald Trump.
He has gotten rid of everything on his Twitter account,
referencing his support for Donald Trump.
Now, according to sources, it says that basically the Muslim ban
and other actions were the catalyst for his decision.
He doesn't agree with a lot of things that Donald Trump has done
since he has taken office.
Even though we went to go meet with him and had said he would have voted for him,
now he's, I guess, having a change of heart.
You know the irony of that situation?
That's exactly how I feel about Kanye.
Sometimes you like him.
Sometimes you don't.
You know?
In the meantime, I see it.
I have changed the hearts about that guy all the time.
Kim Kardashian West is actually retweeting people that want Kanye to perform next year at Super Bowl's halftime show.
Okay.
What do you guys think?
Would that be a good halftime?
He got enough hits, yeah.
That'd be dope.
At this moment, I don't care.
I'll be honest with you.
That would be good.
I mean, I'd like to see Kanye, Ariana, or even Drake.
I feel like all of them have the status to perform at a Super Bowl halftime show.
Mm-hmm.
You know?
All right.
Remy Ma and Pep Hoos, they were on The Real.
And we already told you guys about the unfortunate situation with Remy Ma suffering from a miscarriage
and then having to undergo emergency surgery to have her fallopian tube removed.
Here is Remy on The Real talking about it.
This happened to me before when I was a kid.
I was a teenager.
The first time I ever got pregnant, I had ectopic pregnancy then.
I literally passed out.
I went to the hospital.
They did a sonogram, and it was black.
I literally was bleeding internally.
They rushed me into surgery.
As a female, you have two fallopian tubes. This is where the egg that gets you pregnant comes from it comes down the fallopian tube
Yeah, it plants in the uterus to grow but it's an ectopic pregnancy when the egg connects with you know
It starts to fertilize in the tool
So your tool it expands until the point that it can't expand anymore And then that's when the internal bleeding and things like that happen.
Does it burst?
Yeah.
So sad.
And Papoose actually spoke out as well about how he was feeling during this whole time.
I mean, that was the saddest day of my life.
When she told me the news, I was extremely happy.
I was thinking of names.
I mean, I would wake up in the morning, The first thing I would see is my future child, you know, and for it to take a turn like that, it was just
like a roller coaster and it went down. But honestly, when I got the news, she had to go
into emergency surgery. So I was devastated about my child, but I was just like praying, like,
you know, I hope my wife is going to be OK. Drop on of Clues' bombs with Papoose, Devin. He's great.
Such a great couple.
I know.
Every woman wants Papoose to be their Valentine next week.
Why can't you be more like Papoose?
All right, now, J.R. Smith has also given an update on his daughter, Dakota.
She was born prematurely.
And he and his wife welcomed their daughter in October. She was born five months early at just one pound.
So he has been keeping his fans updated on her progress,
and he actually posted a picture holding his daughter on his chest.
He said,
Today is one of the greatest days of my life.
Today I get to hold my youngest for the first time.
God is great.
Hashtag Dakota Strong.
God bless J.R. Smith and his family.
You want to continue to depress us, Angela E.,
do you have anything else?
That's a good story.
The baby's growing.
I mean, yeah.
The baby's still alive.
He got to hold his baby for the first time.
Drop on the clues box, J.R. Smith.
That is a great story.
That's a great story, man.
Amazing story.
That's positive.
That's a miracle.
If you ever vote, you can see a picture of him holding his little baby.
I saw that yesterday.
I did, actually.
All right.
Now, Billboard.com is actually going to be launching Billboard Hip Hop now.
And in celebration of that, they did a whole list.
What? Yeah, they're doing their whole
own Billboard Hip Hop. Not just Billboard.com
but now a Billboard Hip Hop site. Why do they keep
treating hip hop like it's some niche genre?
Hip hop is pop culture now, you idiots.
Well, in celebration of
that, I guess they feel like there's so much going on. It needs
its whole own platform. They need more information? I think it's not a bad thing.
Yeah, it's called music. The industry of music is hip hop, sir. There's so much going on. It needs its whole own platform. They need more information. I think it's not a bad thing. Yeah, it's called music.
It's called...
The industry of music is hip-hop, sir.
There's so much going on.
So they actually put together a string of milestones and rap chart facts.
I want to see what you guys know about this, okay?
You ready to test yourself?
Sure.

Puff Daddy's a lead act on four.
Ludacris is a lead act on two.

It was...
Rap album was Please Hammer, Don't Hurt Me was Please Hammer, Don't Hurt Me.
Please Hammer, Don't Hurt Me.
Drop one of Clues Bomb for MC Hammer, damn it.
21 weeks and number one.
I met MC Hammer once.
I was there. What was that?
It was when Hurricane Sandy had hit.
We were all staying at the same hotel
and he was at the bar. I said, look, that little hammer.
I was like, oh my God.
And then I said, you guys take a picture together.
Because I'm good for that. I had to go chop it up. Is that a hammer? I had to grab my heart., that little hammer. And I was like, oh, my God. And then I said, you guys take a picture together because I'm good for that.
I had to go chop it up.
Is that a hammer?
I had to grab my heart.
Is that a hammer?
You can't touch this.
I interviewed him one time.
I did, too.
I think he told me, he said, if you, what did he say?
He says, I came up here to test a coward's heart.
What?
You think Hammer won't whip your ass and then do the typewriter dance while you laid out on the floor?
Why did he say that to you?
Because he was making fun of him on the way up there.
Typical New York stuff, trying to clown Hammer.
Hammer, whip your ass.
I love Hammer now.
What?
He threatened me so crazy.
Hammer making a lot of money in the tech industry now.
He sure is.
That's what we talked about that night.
If Hammer would have beat your ass, that would have been hilarious.
Hammer's ex-military?
You crazy?
Hammer is from the hood of Oakland.
It just would have been a great story.
Oh, wouldn't have.
After he came up there, too.
I was kind of scared.
I ain't going to lie.
Why do you think they named the album
Please Hammer Don't Hurt Him?
That's right.
Please Hammer Don't Hurt Him.
Don't test a child's heart.
I was doing all that.
I said, Hammer's coming out bad.
I'll pray.
I don't give Hammer no respect.
How can this Black History Muffin
y'all don't pay no homage to Hammer?
You're right.
When the last time you played some Hammer
in your mix show, Envy,
this is disrespectful.
You don't shout him out
on his birthday.
That's how I do.
Do you shout out
on his birthday?
No, but that ain't the point.
Hammer got the highest
selling album of all time.
You're right.
You don't give him no respect.
You're right.
Longest number one album.
When is Hammer birthday?
Hammer gonna get some respect.
He definitely gonna get some respect.
All right, I'm Angela Yee
and that's your rumor report.
Let me look this up.
I don't want no problem with MC Hammer.
I can't believe y'all don't pay homage to Hammer.
March 30th. March 30th. Oh, next
month y'all better show Hammer some damn
respect on March 30th. You damn right.
You hear me? I want to hear too legit to quit.
I want to hear pumps and a bumps. Pumps and a bumps?
I want to hear pray. Okay?
Girls with the pumps and the bumps. You better show him some
respect. You got it. Shout out to MC Hammer.
Alright. Gentlemen! What?
You giving that donk too?
Listen, man.
This is a classic story of how nigg's going nigg.
All right?
Nigg's going nigg. Nigg's going nigg.
Nigg's of all colors too.
I keep telling y'all.
It ain't got nothing to do with being black.
It got to do with a mindset.
Okay?
This is nigg stuff I ain't never heard of.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Your river give you attention. Charlemagne. Say the gang. Don't get out of shape. All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Your river give you attention.
Charlemagne, say the gang.
Don't get out of shape.
Charlemagne.
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 it with the e-ball.
It's The Breakfast club, bitches.
Who's donkey of the day today?
Yes, donkey of the day for Tuesday, February 7th goes to Robert Martinez Gill.
Now, back in the 90s, old Robert was convicted on drug trafficking charges.
He was given a life sentence for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute cocaine and heroin.
But back in 2015, he was commuted by former President Barack Obama. Now, let me give
you a little backstory on Robert M. Gill. He's 68
years old. He's been in prison since
1990, okay? But President Obama
set him free along with other non-violent
federal inmates in 2015.
President Obama said, I'm signing
his release because Robert has demonstrated
the potential to turn his life around.
Now, it is up to him to make the most of
this opportunity.
That is the key word, kids, opportunity.
All right, Robert's prison ward also stood up for him,
saying Robert has reformed and rehabilitated himself and poses no threat to the outside world, end quote.
You would think everything the prison warden and President Obama said would be true,
especially for a 68-year-old man who has been in prison for 25 years.
If you had a life sentence, every day of your life,
you'd be in there praying, wishing on a star.
You got a rabbit's foot, green clovers, yellow moons,
yellow and orange stars, pink hearts, all the lucky charms in the world.
You asking God, please give me another chance.
Please don't let my life end this way.
And then one day you get that golden ticket.
You get that news that President Obama is going to pardon you.
You get the news that Ray and Claude wanted to get throughout the whole movie life.
You get that blessing to be pardoned.
And what do you do with it?
Well, I'll let you know what Robert Martinez Gill did with his.
Go to KLEN-TV for the report, please.
A 68-year-old San Antonio man whose life sentence was commuted by President Barack Obama is back in jail.
Police say he crashed his car into another vehicle while fleeing officers after a drug deal.
On Thursday, he had already been serving a life sentence for dealing drugs when President Obama freed him in 2015.
But now he's back behind bars.
Niggas gonna nigg, bro.
Niggas gonna nigg.
Don't matter the color. It's a mindset. Okay?
Robert Martinez went and met with his
probation officer, and then immediately
after leaving his P.O., went
to a parking lot of a food market
to buy more than two pounds of cocaine.
No way. Okay? When the police caught
him, he admitted he was gonna sell cocaine
to make money, and would be paying a female
26 grand for the cocaine.
I can't stand to see someone waste an opportunity someone else would have made the most of.
OK, that pardon could have been for Big Meech.
It could have been for some political prisoners like Assata Shakur, Matula Shakur.
What about Edward Snowden?
Play the clip from Carolyn TV again, please.
Pull it back.
Get the clip, boy.
68-year-old San Antonio man whose life sentence was commuted by President
Barack Obama is back in jail.
Police say he crashed his car into another
vehicle while fleeing officers after a drug
deal. On Thursday, he had already been serving
a life sentence for dealing drugs when
President Obama freed him in 2015,
but now he's back behind bars.
Now, if insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results,
then I don't know what getting the life sentence, going to jail for 25 years,
getting a miraculous pardon, and coming home to start selling bricks again is called.
Okay, they don't need to send him back to jail.
They need to put Robert Martinez's guilt in a psych ward,
put him in a straight jacket and feed him pills for the rest of his life.
Okay, and when you let him out of that straight jacket,
just let him sit around and try to lick his elbow.
Because something is clearly wrong with this man. Okay? The last
time I saw somebody blow an opportunity
like this, it was this team called the
Atlanta Falcons Sunday night in the Super
Bowl. Okay? Kids, listen.
Failure is simply the
opportunity to begin again.
This time, more intelligently.
Robert Martinez Gill got
his opportunity after failing, but he didn't handle it intelligently this time. He intelligently. Robert Martinez Gill got his opportunity after failing,
but he didn't handle it intelligently this time.
He blew it.
Why?
Because it doesn't matter what race you are.
Nigging is an attitude, and it's two things you need to know.
Some donkeys just sell themselves, and nigs gonna nigg.
Please give Robert Martinez Gill the biggest hee-haw, please.
How old was he, you said?
68 years old.
68!
I actually meant to give him some sweet sounds and a hammer tone, but you know what?
He needed a hard hee-haw this morning.
68!
68 years old.
You've been in jail since 1990.
He wanted to go back.
He didn't know anything else.
You think he had a boyfriend in there?
Yeah, I think he had a boyfriend.
He had a bae.
He had a bae.
He had a bae, man.
Mr. Bae.
Yeah, he had a bae. He's 68 years old, man. Mr. Bae. Yeah, he had a bae.
He's 68 years old, man.
Don't no woman know how to make him get it up no more.
He need that iron jaw behind them walls.
My goodness.
All right.
All right, well, thank you for that donkey today.
Now, what are we doing next?
I have no idea.
Y'all didn't play in this part of the show?
Yes, we did.
We were talking about what we discussed yesterday with Mariah Carey
and her $250,000 wedding dress that was designed by Valentino.
What was that?
So her video with YG where she talks about her breakup.
Mariah Barry, okay.
Yes, Mariah Carey.
And in that video, she burns her dress.
That dress was a Valentino $250,000 dress.
You can see it featured on her show Mariah's World.
Okay.
And we're asking when you break up with somebody, what are the things that you do?
Do you get rid of the items that person gave you?
Some people tell you you should put it in a box and put it away.
Some people give the stuff back.
Some people donate it to charity.
Depends how much it costs.
Some people give it.
It depends what it is.
Yeah, it depends what it is.
Really?
That's all it says.
It depends what it is.
Like if somebody buys you something expensive, let's say they buy you a car, right? A car. You would get rid of the car? You could trade it in and get something else. Depends what kind depends what it is. Like if somebody buys you something expensive, let's say they buy you a car, right?
A car.
You gonna get rid of the car?
You could trade it in and get something else.
Depends what kind of car it is.
Because some people don't even want to have that item anymore.
They need to grow up.
Like if somebody got you a nice Cartier watch,
you could trade it in and get something else
so it's not the same exact one.
That's why...
I had an ex-boyfriend who asked for his stuff back
when we broke up.
That's cool.
Listen, if y'all not married and you're just dating a woman,
that's why you always keep the receipts.
Because when y'all break up, you can always say she stole it from you.
All right.
Well, 800-585-1051.
How do you deal with an ex's items after a breakup?
All right.
The question again, 800-585-1051.
How do you deal with an ex's item after a breakup?
Call us up now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
So we're asking, 800-585-1051,
how do you deal with an ex's items after a breakup?
Now, Charlamagne, I'm sure Charlamagne can't remember his last date
or last girlfriend
for his wife, so we'll ask Angela Yee.
I think it depends on how
you broke up and it depends on what it is.
I am a firm believer that
in order for you to have a nice, good, clean breakup,
at least just get all those things out the way
so you don't keep reminiscing about stuff.
Oh, I remember when he bought me this and that.
What about if something flies? Let's say he bought you a bag
that's limited edition you can't get anywhere else.
I probably just won't use it
for a while until I'm over it.
You just put it up,
put it away,
put it in closet,
put it somewhere out of sight,
out of sight, out of mind.
Just don't think about it.
And then later on
when you get over it,
you can use it.
Yeah, I think it's different
when you're married
as opposed to just being
in a relationship
with like a boyfriend
or a girlfriend.
Because when you're married,
nine times out of ten
if you and your wife
get a divorce,
it's something that you did.
So anything that you got her anyway, she deserves. True.
You know what I'm saying? So she can have that.
Right. You know what I mean? But if you're just dating,
you think... If you're just dating, keep the receipts
at all times. So you want it back?
Absolutely. You think Meek Mill don't want everything he bought
Nicki Minaj back right now? That's why he ran up
in that house, allegedly. Allegedly. He did not
run up in her house. And took it back. That's crazy.
But he don't want none of that back.
I mean, you wanted to have that.
It's over.
Keep it.
I don't even want it back. But sometimes when a breakup,
people are petty
and they'll ask for stuff back
because if they bought you
something expensive,
they might be like,
my ex-boyfriend did this.
Oh, let me get back that chain,
that jewelry I bought you.
And sometimes they do that
just to try to keep in contact.
Yeah, but if you have
a bad breakup, man,
sometimes you realize
that girl didn't deserve
what you gave her. You know what I'm saying? Like if you're with a woman if you have a bad breakup, man, sometimes you realize that girl didn't deserve what you gave her.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, if you're with a woman
and, you know,
she does some dirt to you
and y'all fall out,
in your mind,
you're like,
you know what?
You didn't deserve
nothing I gave you
except for the herpes.
It's a loss.
You just gotta chalk it up
as a loss
if you guys break up.
Lesson learned.
Because I would hope
as a woman,
you got him some stuff, too.
But if you did something to me
and you hurt me
and I put out more
in this relationship, I want my stuff back. I want my stuff back. Damn right. I want my stuff, too. But if you did something to me and you hurt me and I put out more in this relationship.
I want my stuff back.
I want my stuff back.
Damn right.
I want my stuff back.
Damn right.
Let me tell you something.
He said he wanted his stuff back.
He kept bothering me.
I took all that stuff, threw it out the window.
I said, it's outside.
Come get it.
Did he come get it?
Yep.
I don't know if he did.
Ain't no consolation prize if you do me dirty.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, it's Mike.
How you doing, guys?
All right, now how do you deal with an ex's items after a breakup?
Man, I'm keeping it.
All the stuff I'm keeping, man.
I mean, the only thing I ever got rid of was when I got divorced,
and I found out some foul stuff, you know, and it got me real tight.
So I went straight to the pawn shop and pawned in the ring.
I didn't care what I got for it.
I just pawned in the meding ring.
That was a backflip.
I'm with you, bro.
If your girl do you wrong, you got to get everything back.
You don't get nothing.
No ribs, no rice, no champagne. You don't get nothing. But what if you did her wrong, and then she breaks up with you, bro. If your girl do you wrong, you got to get everything back. You don't get nothing. No ribs, no rice, no champagne.
You don't get nothing.
But what if you did her wrong and then she breaks up with you?
She can have everything.
She can have it all.
She can have it all.
She deserves it, then.
Hello, who's this?
From Westchester.
How do you deal with an ex's items after a breakup?
What you mean?
It's mine.
I'm keeping that.
But won't it make you a little sad when you look at it and you remember when she gave
you this and then you get memories? It depends if it's something with her. Like, say she gave you a little sad when you look at it and you remember when she gave you this and then you get memories?
It depends if it's something with her.
Like, say she gave you a nice neck piece.
Yeah, I got that tick off of her neck piece.
She probably gave me some problems.
That's why she had to go.
My goodness.
Fake tough, fake tough.
Hello, who's this?
This is Ann from Hampton.
Ann from Hampton, 757.
Now, what do you do with an ex's items after a breakup?
See, what I do, if I'm with a female and I want my stuff,
I'm going to take my stuff back.
You're taking everything back?
I'm going to take it back, and if it's still in good condition,
I'm going to sell it, or I'm going to give it to the next female.
Now, what are you going to do with the stuff that she gave you?
Are you going to give your stuff back, too?
No.
Oh, okay.
Okay. I don okay. Okay.
I don't understand that.
I really do think it's all based on who does who wrong in the situation.
If the woman does you wrong, get your stuff back.
If you do the woman wrong, let her keep what you got.
But let's be clear.
She ain't got to give nothing back.
If I got these receipts, no.
Not if I got receipts.
If I got receipts, then you a thief.
No.
If it's a gift, it's a gift. She won't bring receipts. If I got receipts, then you a thief. No. If it's a gift,
it's a gift.
She won't bring me
my stuff back
that I bought.
Officer.
800-585-1051.
How do you deal
with an ex's items
after breakup?
Call us now.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
That was Rihanna
with Needed Me.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ Envy,
Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Now we're asking
800-585-051.
How do you deal with an ex's items after a breakup?
See, if you did me dirty, I'm going to need my stuff back.
It's just that simple.
I just want it back.
It's just that simple.
If a woman does you dirty, you get your stuff back.
If you do the woman dirty, you let her keep what you got her.
Simple.
That's not how I look at it.
I look at it as we broke up, whatever happened during the relationship,
that's just an L.
You go ahead and keep that clean slate, move on, peace.
Men, keep the receipts always, because when she don't want to give that stuff back,
you just go to the police and say that this young lady stole from you.
You can't do that.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, what's up, man?
This is Chris from Jersey.
Hey, Chris.
Now, we're asking, how do you deal with an ex's items after breakup?
All right, so check this out.
Honestly, it depends on the nationality.
Why?
Break it down for me. Break it down. I love on the nationality. Why? Break it down for me.
Break it down. I love when everything falls down the same.
Break it down for me. Go ahead, bro.
I got you. Alright, so check.
If they're Spanish or they're black, they're gonna ask you for whatever it was back before
y'all even split. Okay.
So if it's turmoil and stuff, they already know
that they want that back. Okay.
The only one, the only
race or nationality you could say that you could sell it back is white women.
Sell it back?
Yeah, you could sell whatever a white woman gives you because they're going to, honestly, when they get you stuff, it's worth money.
So you're saying that black and Hispanic women don't get you things that are worth money, but white women do.
Let me tell you something.
White women got money, okay?
Black and Spanish women got money.
That is a terrible stereotype, sir. This is the dumb and Spanish women got money. That is a terrible stereotype, sir.
This is the dumbest thing
I ever heard.
That is a terrible stereotype.
I'm going to be honest
with you, man.
You can't give back
that hepatitis
that white woman
is going to give you
when you kiss her.
Oh, you know what?
That's true.
Yeah, you can't give that back.
This sounds so stupid.
My goodness.
Hello, who's this?
Yeah, this is Butterfly
from Baisley.
Butterfly from Baisley.
We're going to hear from you
in a minute, Butterfly.
Where you been?
Out working, doing what I got to do.
We miss you.
Good morning, Angie.
Good morning, boo.
We must have been locked up, Butterfly.
All right, so what would you do?
No, boy.
I'll be a mess.
Say it again.
What would you do with the stuff after you guys broke up?
What do you do with the stuff that you're going to do next week?
I'm going with Charlamagne.
Like you said, they might say it overseas.
I'm giving it right back
and sending him on his way.
I don't want to be bothered after that.
I got something to tell him too.
When he want his stuff back,
I'm going to have it back.
Waiting for him and let him know.
You go whack anyway, boo.
That's when you know.
That's when you know you don't want to be bothered with a dude.
Oh, you got an attitude?
Little, I like
little. It was whack.
I like little.
You like little pee-pee's butterfly?
Oh, yeah. Boy, don't start
my mouth. Listen
to me. Okay?
Send him on his way.
On his way.
Because you don't
want to be up
in the judge's face
looking at the white boy.
He talking about,
you know what,
case dismissed.
This guy personal.
Both of y'all
figure it out.
Got you.
I feel what you're
saying, Butterfly.
I'm serious.
I don't want to be
up in court
talking about,
oh, she took my stuff.
Okay.
True, true, true.
But anyway,
look, I've been
shooting a film
It's called Fatherless Son
I want to give a shout out to my little cousin, Rav
Because he's shooting a film
Fatherless Son, is it based on a true story?
Yeah, where's my mother?
I played the little boy's mother in the film
And I can't tell you too much
But it's really, really good
You sound like you was typecasted
Alright, Butterfly, we appreciate you
Thank you, butterfly.
You keep shining, butterfly.
West from Trinity, fam.
We go way back.
I remember when you was just a caterpillar.
Hello.
You got to love butterfly.
Hello.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Now, how do you handle your items with an X?
Anything of value you do not destroy, you do not give back, you keep it all.
Because you don't know when you're going to be down and out and going to need to
sell those things back. If they're resellable,
I would keep it. Engagement rings
for houses.
Wow. You got
houses? Mariah Carey,
she got some money to get rid of that
dress. Any regular degra, they need
to keep that dress and resell it.
Okay, so don't act too rashly
and give it back.
Don't destroy it.
Don't destroy it?
Why?
This is a battle.
All right.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you, Mama.
All right, well, I'm going to say this.
Say it.
If we break up, and you know when y'all break up, y'all always try to come back, right?
Right. If you don't ask for your stuff back, don't even bother trying to come back.
It's over forever.
That's a wrap
You're not getting back
You're disgusting
I'm glad it didn't work out
Glad to know what type of person you are
And if we break up and I got you stuff
And I'm really great at giving gifts
Keep it
I'm not saying Angelique's wrong
All I'm saying is to me it's all based on who did what
Simple as that
You do your girl wrong
You let her keep all those consolation prizes you got her
Your girl do you wrong,
keep the receipt so you can take everything back.
If she don't want to give it back, she stole it.
Alright. Well, we got rumors on the way, Yee.
Yes, we are going to talk about Big Sean. What
made him so mad while he was performing?
Tell me if this would make you upset. Black woman in the front row.
Stop it. Ain't enough Jhene Aiko.
Jhene Aiko is black.
Okay. He's stupid. Alright.
We'll get into rumors when we come back.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to the rumors.
Let's talk Big Sean.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee.
Rumor has it.
On The Breakfast Club.
So listen up.
Well, Big Sean was performing in Vegas and somebody did something that made him really mad.
He was in the middle of performing I Don't F With You.
And somebody started throwing money at people.
Is that a really disrespectful thing to do while someone's performing?
Throwing money?
I think so.
I think it depends.
It happens all the time.
Because it's coming from a place of arrogance
when you're throwing money like that.
It's like, oh, I got money.
I got money to burn.
I got money to waste.
Look, throwing it all over you peasants.
And it's in Vegas.
So Big Sean thought it was very disrespectful.
And I ain't no stripper.
He told him to stop effing throwing money.
He said, I'm not a stripper.
No.
But he did say, stop effing throwing all that money.
It happens a lot, though.
You know.
Some people just don't know better, I think.
I feel like some people,
especially you go someplace
like Vegas,
there's people from all over.
They see people
throwing money in the club.
It's stupid.
I hate it.
I don't know that it's
necessarily always delicious.
Sometimes when I DJ,
they do that to me.
Like, I'm spinning.
Whoa!
And they throw singles at me.
You gotta start
pulling your pants up.
I'm like, I do.
You gotta start
pulling your pants up.
I mean, because they
like the fact that I'm rocking.
They throw money at you?
Yeah, because you're rocking.
So they rocking. So they just throw money. No, ain't nobody rocking. And then the money fall on you and you can't pick it up. I mean, because they like them. They throw money at you? Yeah, because you're rocking. So they rocking.
So they just throw money.
No, ain't nobody rocking.
And if the money fall on you and you can't pick it up.
Stop giving men a little script tease.
You got your pants sagging.
You got your little red boy shorts showing.
What if somebody threw some hunnids?
We picking that up.
They tipping you because you showing that ass.
You got your pants sagging.
But you don't think they're doing it disrespectfully?
Nah, I don't think they're doing it disrespectfully.
What's that club?
What's that script club you do Odell come to all the time?
I'm not telling you what.
Oh, because I throw money at y'all.
If y'all was in the DJ booth, Odell dancing, you got your pants sagging.
Shut up, man.
Throw some money at them bad bitches over there in that DJ booth.
Stop talking about Odell.
Ah, shut up.
All right, and Sports Illustrated, the swimsuit issue is getting ready to come out.
So everybody's speculating on who's going to be on the cover.
And they're actually going to do three covers. They said it'sulating on who's going to be on the cover and they're actually going to do three
covers. They said it's very likely there's going to be three
different covers and it's going to be starring
Serena Williams,
Christy Brinkley and possibly Kate Upton.
The only problem is that Kate Upton
has been acting like a diva and making
all kinds of demands saying that
if she does the shoot she has to get the cover.
She also has a list of photographers and hair
and makeup people that she'll only work with them.
And they said she just thinks she's better than everybody now
because she is an actress.
Now, Sports Illustrated is saying that it's that time of the year again.
Who is in?
Who's on the cover?
What will they do next?
Everybody has a guess, and that's all this is.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but ain't Christine Brinkley like 73 years old?
63.
Okay, 63.
All right.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, still doing the damn thing.
I want to see.
I want to see what it look like.
Wendy Williams, she's talking about Nicki Minaj.
We gave you this story the other day.
Nicki Minaj is upset.
Giuseppe Zanotti has named all these shoes after her, the Nicki shoe, and refuses to
take her cause.
He's also done capsule collections with J-Lo.
And here is what Wendy Williams speculates is the issue.
Maybe this is an attitude thing, Nikki.
You have a reputation for being very difficult to work with.
Maybe the headaches that you give people are not worth working with you.
I know that he's collaborated with Jennifer Lopez and done sneakers and, you know, shoes and things like that.
But there's something about your reputation, Nikki, that has followed you almost since your career got started
and doesn't seem to be getting any better.
And that maybe is why you're not in the new Ocean's 8 movie.
All right.
I will say this, though.
If he felt like that, he probably wouldn't name
30-something pairs of shoes after her.
Yeah.
It just doesn't really make sense.
I don't understand the problem with Nikki standing up
for herself, though.
Like, what's the problem
with her standing up for herself
and telling these people
not to use her likeness
without cutting her a check?
Like, I don't understand
why that makes her
difficult to work with.
There ain't nothing wrong with that.
I'm lost here.
You named 30 pairs of shoes
after me,
and I'm not supposed to get married?
I don't think if they felt like
you were not a person
you would want to work with.
I didn't ask for a check.
I just said,
hey, I want to talk to you
about something.
You don't know what
she was trying to talk about.
I'm supposed to be nice and polite and just have my
managers reach out behind the scenes. If my managers
are reaching out and y'all not replying, take it
to social media. They took them shoes
down as soon as she did that, right? Yeah, the shoes
are no longer on their website. I don't like that logic
that a person is just difficult to work with
just because they're demanding more for
their self. They know their worth and their value.
That's what everybody says. As soon as you stand up for yourself,
they'll be like, oh, he's hard to work with. No, give them what they worth.
Especially when you're a woman.
That's why it's weird to hear another woman
coming at another woman about that.
Wendy should know how it is.
All right.
And Tom Brady's Super Bowl jersey is still missing.
And according to one sports memorabilia expert,
he's saying that it could be worth a million dollars at this point.
Now, Josh Evans owns Leland's.com,
and he said if he got that jersey,
he could probably sell it for at least a million dollars at this point. Now, Josh Evans owns Leland's.com and he said if he got that jersey, he could probably sell it for at least a million dollars
because of all the hoopla around it.
But let's just say the value
of the jersey before all of
the missingness, it would be valued
about $250,000. But he
said now because of all this drama around it,
it'll be worth a lot more. But if it is
stolen, he said, it would be worthless to him
because how can you sell something like that?
Right.
If it's stolen merchandise, they'll have to figure out a way to unload it because it's such a huge story right now.
And I would think Brady would want that.
Give it to Brady so they can put it in the Hall of Fame somewhere.
Of course he wants it.
They can't find it.
That's going to Canton.
That's what it's called, right?
Canton.
I thought it just said Cancun.
I'm like, I know the Hall of Fame.
NFL Hall of Fame ain't in Cancun, is it?
And, you know, they also stole some of Kobe Bryant's memorabilia just recently from Lower Marion High School.
So they had some of his memorabilia there, and that's gone missing, too, somehow.
How much is the shirt that he wore when he sodomized that white woman in Denver?
And I'm Angela Yee, and that's your rumor reports.
I heard he didn't take his shirt off.
How much did that shirt worth?
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.
