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.

Or maybe not.
No country willingly gives up their territory.
Oh my God.
What is that?
Bullets.

Collectively known as Breakfast Club, bitches.
Good morning, Angela Yee. Good morning, DeZandy. Charlamagne Tha God.
Peace to the planet.
Guess what day it is.
Guess what day it is.
Hump Day.
Yes, today is Wednesday, Hump Day, middle of the week.
Yes, my laugh is going to get more sinister each and every Wednesday as we get closer to Halloween.
Oh, you got your outfit ready?
Oh, listen, you know I got my Halloween costume ready.
See, I grew up with Jehovah Witness.
So being that I grew up with Jehovah Witness,
I didn't get to partake
in things like Halloween.
So now that I'm 40 years old
and I got a little change,
you know what I'm saying?
I go all out for Halloween, okay?
I ordered my Halloween costume
back in March.
Wow.
Because it took about
four months to make.
Okay.
All right?
Just remember last year
I was the Black Panther.
All right?
Before y'all had
Wakanda FIFA.
All right? Not one of these cheap-ass Black Panther. Before y'all had Wakanda FIFA.
Not one of these cheap-ass Black Panther costumes from Target or Walmart.
My helmet is real.
T'Challa with Boltzmann could have wore my helmet in the actual movie, god damn it.
Just remember that this year when I come out to play on Halloween.
Okay.
All right.
Now, last night I was at the Yankee game.
Shout out to the New York Yankees.
They lost last night.
Yep, they lost 4-3. I saw people tweeting me saying, tell him he stays
beige ass away from the games. He's bad luck.
Nah, I don't know if I'm bad luck. I promise you.
I was like, why y'all tweeting me? Y'all know I don't even like baseball.
Yeah, they lost 4-3. We stayed
the full game. Yankees came back in the
ninth inning, bottom of the ninth. They scored
two runs, but they still lost
4-3. It was a good game. So were they out? Yeah, they're out of here.
They won't play again until next year.
Oh, okay. But it was more than that.
I took my pops.
I took my son.
So it was just a bonding moment.
You know, when I was a kid,
my dad used to take me
to the games.
We couldn't sit
where we sat now.
We was way in the rafters
and we used to go
on special occasions
like when they had
baseball bat day
or they had double headers
or bobblehead day,
you know,
because we got a little extra.
But the fact that we were
just able to chill
and just eat and drink
and just have conversations, that's the whole thing.
As a New York sports fan, that's all y'all can do this year
because y'all trash.
Yankees out, Giants trash.
You ain't got nothing else to do but go to the games and barn, eat, drink.
Well, Yankees are not trash.
We still made it to the playoffs.
Yankees are out.
Yeah, they are out, but they are not trash.
And the Giants are only one game away from your Dallas Cowboys.
They're one game away from being an expansion team.
No, they're not.
They suck.
Your Cowboys suck.
We got one more win than y'all.
Yeah, and that's...
And y'all suck.
What did you do yesterday, Yee?
Yesterday, you know, I've been traveling a lot lately,
so it was my first day home.
So one of my friends came over, Roshanna.
She brought her two kids over.
That was a lot of work for me because they're very young,
and they were running and jumping all over the place.
But it was fun, and I thought I was going to go to bed early last night.
I was watching the American Music Awards.
I was nice.
They're so trash.
Tucked away in my bed.
American Music Awards are trash.
I didn't watch it.
I watched Cardi B perform.
I didn't even catch Cardi.
Oh, man, she had a great performance.
The award shows are trash.
It's like they label all the wrong condiments.
Like, they got ketchup is mayonnaise, mayonnaise is mustard.
Well, Taylor Swift opened up the show.
I watched that.
Cardi B won one of the first awards of the night, too,
so I saw her go up there and get her award.
How did the Migos win Best Pop Rock Duo?
What?
Exactly. to tell her at like 1130, like, listen, I think don't do anything rash tonight. Just go to sleep and wait till tomorrow.
Don't do anything while you're mad.
And he's going to tell us what she did.
He's going to tell us what she did.
She's just mad at her boyfriend.
You know, you go on Instagram, you start stalking situations and you start looking at things
and then you're like, who is this girl from back in two years ago?
Is he following a girl he's smashing or he's liking a girl's pics too much?
She don't know who the girl is, but she thinks something.
And then she's like, should I do this?
Should we do that?
I'm like, listen, why don't you just ask him about it?
But just wait until tomorrow.
Instagram math is crazy.
Like the things people add up.
Like I was talking to the youngins here at iHeart yesterday,
and they were telling me that if a guy likes their pics three times,
then that means that it's time to slide in their DMs. Or if the girl likes their pics three times, then that means that it's time to slide in
their DMs. Or if the girl likes
their pic three times, then they slide in
their DMs. That's showing they're interested. I'm like,
well, I'm glad I'm married. Well, yeah.
Whole relationships have started from man crush
Mondays and woman crush Wednesdays.
But yeah, I'm a fan of asking people directly
something when you want to know it instead
of researching and beating around the bush.
That's right. But also not doing it when you're mad.
Right.
Yeah, don't move off emotion.
Move off strategy.
All right.
Well, let's get the show cracking.
Taye Diggs will be joining us this morning.
Never heard of him.
No?
Not at all?
No, he's a great, great, great, great actor.
Legendary roles.
Absolutely.
He's actually one of the stars
of one of my favorite movies of all time,
Brown Sugar. Oh, I like The Wood, too. of one of my favorite movies of all time, Brown Sugar.
Oh, I like The Wood, too.
I know you do.
I like The Wood, too.
I know you like The Wood.
It's a real sexual assault scene in The Wood, too, by today's standards.
Oh, my goodness.
Remember that scene on the playground?
I don't remember what happened.
Oh, yeah, nobody remembers.
No, I really don't.
I haven't seen The Wood in so long.
Remember when he was like, I bet you won't grab her ass.
You don't remember that.
Oh, yeah, I hate when guys used to do that growing up.
Oh, amen.
All right.
And we got front page news coming up.
What are we talking about, Yee?
Yes, let's talk about these missing children that were found in Michigan.
We'll give you an update on what's happening with that.
All right.
We'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
This is The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Morning, everybody.
It's DJ MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some front page news.
Now, last night, the Yankees, they're packing up.
They're going home.
They lost 4-3 to Boston.
So congratulations to Boston.
Boston has the best team in baseball.
So congratulations to Boston.
They take on Houston, the Astros.
All right, so what else are we talking about, Yee?
Well, let's talk about they were over 100 children found safe.
They did a one-day sweep in Michigan.
And it's a sex trafficking operation that they were doing.
So they found 123 missing children.
Now, this operation had 301 case files, and they actually recovered 123 kids. And they said about three of them are being investigated for possibly being sexually victimized or used in a sex trafficking ring so far.
So they said one of the homeless teens had not had anything to eat in three days,
so they're giving him food and taking care of him.
But the message they said to the missing children and their families
that we wish to convey is that we will never stop looking for you.
Yeah, you see so much stuff on social media,
you don't know what's real and what's not real.
Like I saw somebody yesterday saying that it was some people in Virginia
that was kidnapping young girls or something to put them in the sex trafficking ring.
Yeah, you know, and this is just in Michigan, by the way.
So they're still investigating all of the cases and still looking for some of the kids that are missing.
But at least they are still looking and trying to make sure they find these missing children.
All right. Now, Hurricane Michael, they're saying, is going to be a category four storm before it touches down.
So a lot of people are being told they have to evacuate in Florida and parts of Alabama as well.
And they're saying there's storm warnings that cover eight point five million people in several different states.
So just watch out for Hurricane Michael again. If you're traveling, just make sure you check on all of that.
Now, Nikki Haley, who was the U.S. ambassador to the U.N.,
former governor of South Carolina, has resigned.
She wrote her resignation letter to Donald Trump.
She said, it's been an immense honor to serve our country in your administration.
I cannot thank you enough for giving me this opportunity.
You'll recall that when you offered me the position of U.S. ambassador to the U.N.
in November 2016, I accepted the offer based on some conditions.
Those conditions included serving in your cabinet
and on the National Security Council
and being free to speak my mind on the issues of the day.
You made those commitments, and you have absolutely kept them all.
Here's what Donald Trump had to say about Nikki Haley.
Nikki Haley, ambassador to the United Nations,
has been very special to me.
She's done an incredible job.
She's a fantastic person.
She told me probably six months ago,
she said, you know, maybe at the end of the year,
at the end of a two-year period,
at the end of the year,
I want to take a little time off.
I want to take a little break.
She's been a very successful, you know,
governor of South Carolina.
We're all happy for you in one way,
but we hate to lose you.
Hopefully you'll be coming back at some point,
but you want to just, maybe a you'll be coming back at some point.
But you want to just maybe a different capacity.
You can have your pick.
You know, I know nothing about this, nor do I know what it means.
But it doesn't sound good.
Like, how much time did she have left?
Like, did she quit in the middle of her job?
Well, her reason is that she's been in public office for 14 years because she was the governor of South Carolina.
And then she took on this responsibility. So she says that she just wants to rest.
But there's a lot of theories going around, like everything that happened with Kavanaugh
and women voters aren't too keen right now on the Trump administration.
Maybe at one point she wants to run for president.
Not in 2020, she said, but maybe it'll be in 2024.
And she doesn't want to turn off those voters.
There's a lot of people with different theories on why she might have stepped down
and why her timing was so good.
Well, let's speculate. I mean,
it could be because of the Kavanaugh situation. Could be.
And, you know, if I was them, I would
tell her, you know, don't tell people you quit because
of the Kavanaugh situation because it'll hurt us at the polls
during the midterms. Right. And she
quit before midterms, which is also
just in case you don't know what's going to happen with the
Republicans. And it could be maybe there's another
position coming up, as you heard Donald Trump say,
any position that she wants, you know, she's
welcome to come back at any time.
Trump act like he gonna be there forever.
Better worry about his position.
But they're saying she might be gearing up for a 2024
situation to run for president.
Alright, well, I'm Angela Yee and that's your
Front Page News. Alright, thank you, Miss Yee.
Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, hit us
up right now.
Maybe you had a bad night, bad morning.
Maybe your Yankees lost and you were up all night watching the game.
Whatever it may be.
800-585-1051.
Get it off your chest. And salute to everybody that's mad at me on the timeline because, you know,
the Migos did win best pop rock duo at the AMAs last night.
So that's further evidence that they are bigger and better than the Beatles could ever be.
Okay. People are really mad at me on the
timeline for saying that. Yes, the Migos are bigger
and better than the Beatles.
Alright, well get it off your chest. Hit us now. It's the
Breakfast Club. Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
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. So you better have the same energy.
Hello, who's this?
This is G from the Break City.
Oh, my goodness, G.
What's up, man?
Good morning, D.
How are you, sir?
No, G Charlamagne.
You know my name.
Oh, G.
I'm sorry, sir.
How are you?
G, pretty bad gang.
What's up, bro?
I know it's a letter.
I'm good, you know, but I've really been anticipating the release of Charlamagne's show on Showtime,
but it hasn't come up yet.
There's no show on Showtime.
Desus and Mero have a show on Showtime.
I don't have a show on Showtime.
His show's on HBO, sir.
Oh, well, HBO, because I think you're going to be the new Wayne Brady, Charlamagne.
The new Wayne Brady?
I think Wayne Brady's had a pretty decent career, but I don't think Wayne Brady can ever win.
Okay.
Oh, man.
Oh, so you're going to take it to the next level of straight cooning.
I mean, I think cooning is when you reinforce the negative stereotypes of black people.
So your favorite rapper is probably a coon.
Ah, my favorite rapper is a dad.
Who's your favorite rapper?
Biggie.
Tupac.
Oh, well, I mean, listen, Tupac. Oh. Come on, man.
Well, I mean, listen, Tupac did reinforce a lot of negative stereotypes, sir.
Positive, too.
It was a balance, ratchet and righteous.
What are you calling for, man? I can't tell if he likes us or not.
All right, all right, but what I'm really calling for, Andy, man,
I'm trying to get up in this potential center when this power could come with stuff, man.
He wants to go to Powerhouse.
Why you ask me and there's two other people in this room?
He's asking you.
You're the DJ.
And you got the hookups.
You got all the hookups.
Look, you from Newark.
I'm sure you know how to get in the back door, Paws.
I got to get tickets from MB myself.
I'm going to be there.
I'm going to be there waiting for Charlamagne to come through so I can get him.
I figured that.
Oh, my God.
Get out of here.
Man, you'll get shot by a white man in a suit.
Thank you, brother.
And nobody will hashtag your name.
Hello, who's this?
Yo, man, that's B, man.
I just want to say.
Scat B?
Yo, Black Lightning last night.
I don't know if y'all watched it or not.
The what?
Man, Black Lightning.
Oh, Black Lightning.
I heard Angela Rye was on there last night.
Man, that show went off last night.
It started off good for season two.
I'm going to mark my head myself, y'all.
But, man, we need to check it out, man.
I got to catch up on Black Lightning. One of my good friends, Cron Don, is on Black Lightning. Shout out to Cron Don. I'm going to have myself, y'all, man. We need to check it out, man. I got to catch up
on Black Lightning.
One of my good friends,
Cron Don,
is on Black Lightning, man.
Shout out to Cron Don.
I never got into Black Lightning.
I need to watch it.
Yeah, you should catch up now
because then you can watch
the whole first season
and then you'll be all caught up
before it gets too deep in.
I'm going to get back to work, man.
I'll tell y'all later, man.
Okay, bye.
All right, bro.
Bye.
Black Lightning must have been
good for real for you
just to call up here
and tell us how good it was.
Get back to work.
Hello, who's this?
Vaughn.
Vaughn, get it off your chest, bro.
Okay, a couple of weeks ago, actually a couple of months ago,
y'all gave donkey of the day to a lawyer that was criticizing somebody that didn't speak English.
Now, I live in Miami and in New York.
I walked into a Walmart one time, and nobody in the entire Walmart spoke English.
Now, we're talking a Walmart. We're talking a national chain, a worldwide chain for the most part. Walmart one time and nobody in the entire Walmart spoke English.
Now, we're talking a Walmart.
We're talking a national chain,
a worldwide chain
for the most part.
And nobody spoke English.
This has been on your mind
for a minute.
Where were they speaking?
Spanish.
And when they said,
when you said,
does anybody speak English,
their remark was,
this is Miami,
we don't do that.
Basically in Spanish.
You should learn
how to speak Spanish.
What's crazy is in Europe they know how to speak all different languages. We're the only place where we only speak one language. Basically in Spanish. You should learn how to speak Spanish. What's crazy is in Europe
they know how to speak
all different languages.
We're the only place
where we only speak
one language.
Well, I mean, no.
A lot of people
speak Spanish now.
They teach Spanish
in schools.
They teach every language
in school.
What did you need?
Ask for it in Spanish.
Die.
Tell me how you say
die in Spanish.
What kind of die?
Like I want you to die
or you need to die
in your head?
Close die.
Close die, Charlamagne.
I don't know. Exactly. I want you to die or you need to die in here. Close guy. Close guy, Charlamagne. I don't know.
Exactly. I speak English and
n***a. And I
speak English and miss the n***a.
Oh my gosh. What are you calling
for, son? Adios. Because he's mad
that people in Walmart don't speak Spanish. Duh.
They do speak Spanish. They don't speak English.
Oh, English. Yeah, whatever it was. Exactly.
So how would you feel if you walked into a store and nobody
spoke English? I would speak Spanish.
I wouldn't even care.
As long as they could count.
I would be like, donde esta el, and then I don't know how to say die, but I'll say it.
You Spanish and don't know how to say die.
Pelo, for the pelo.
I'll be trying to speak Spanish a little bit.
All right, bro.
Right.
Sorry.
But how do you feel when you got to go to a customer and ask the customer to translate for you?
I mean, you got to do what you got to do.
Did you get your die?
And by the way, that lawyer, that lawyer didn't just clown people because they were Spanish. You got to go to a customer and ask the customer to translate for you. I mean, you got to do what you got to do. Did you get your dye?
And by the way, that lawyer didn't just clown people because they were Spanish.
He told them that they was on welfare,
and if they got the balls to come live off my money,
they need to know how to speak English.
By the way, are you dyeing your gray hair or something?
He said for clothes.
Oh, okay.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.

Hello, who's this?
iPhone Sim.
What's good, gang, gang?
iPhone Sim.
Gang, gang, what's popping?
Sam, you looking for a girlfriend?
Yo, that's why I was calling you.
Ain't no chicks sliding in your DMs asking about me.
Do they slide?
They should slide in your DMs.
I'm saying, but, like, you know, like, once you comment back, you know, anybody sees,
all right?
Okay, so did you find anybody yet?
What are y'all talking about?
What happened?
Oh, so he tweeted out that he wants to find a girlfriend.
He's on all these dating sites and dating apps and everything, and it's
just not happening. So, I tried
to help him out and retweet it. Did he go to Christian Mingle?
Nah, I didn't go to Christian Mingle, man.
I ain't gonna do that, man. That's where the live ones be,
bro. That's where the live ones be. How do you know?
I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, don't play yourself
in me. Wow.
He just jumped out the window.
Now, he ain't gonna be on there later checking all his
nicknames to see if he got an account
on Christian Ming.
I don't know.
Yo, listen, yo, listen.
Post that picture for me, man.
Say, yo, my cousin,
iPhone Sim,
what you doing?
First of all,
iPhone Sim,
you are not my cousin.
I don't want to vouch
that hard for you.
Now, we are Twitter
and Breakfast Club friends,
so I can do that.
One more thing,
one more thing, yo.
Yo, Solomon, yo,
thanks for signing that book, yo.
All good, my brother. Thank you so much, bro.
I hope you find a girl, though. I'm gonna
try to help you. Alright, alright,
thank you, baby. I love y'all. Thank you, baby.
Okay. Hello, who's this?
How you doing? This is Avery Washington.
What's up, Avery? Get it off your chest.
I wanted to tell you why I'm blessed. I'm a family
advocate, and I've written a book called Letters to
My Daughters, poetic affirmations of love from a father.
And the book is so profound that it's building strong relationships
between fathers and daughters.
And I also started a hashtag campaign on Instagram.
And author Avery Washington, hashtag Letters to My Daughters,
where fathers and daughters are tagging photos of each other,
and it's building a strong community and building a black family even stronger.
I love that. You gotta
change the narrative, baby. That's why I love
the Black Men Don't Cheat movement.
You know what I'm saying? Your thoughts become things.
You gotta put it out there. Yeah, please check it out,
man. Please check it out. Alright, brother.
That's beautiful. Hello, who's this?
Hi, it's Darius from Michigan.
Hey, Darius. Get it off your chest, bro.
I'm just pretty upset with the way this McGregor-Khabib
fight has been handled.
McGregor's been speaking totally disrespectful towards Khabib
regarding his dad, his religion.
He's throwing bottles in previous fights against competitors.
But as soon as Khabib shows him that same energy after the fight
and during the fight, we're just all hopping on Khabib,
just talking about how he should get deported.
I'm not talking like that.
I think Khabib did exactly what he was supposed to do.
And first of all, all of that deportation talk is BS.
Khabib is the biggest star in the sport right now.
Oh, yeah, I agree.
Jon Jones is back.
I mean, I hope he keeps his nose clean.
I hope everything goes well and get more stars
and hopefully take this whole spotlight off of Conor McGregor.
Oh, it's over.
It's not over.
People still like to see Conor get his ass kicked.
But I think Conor is going to humble himself now, to be honest with you.
Oh, yeah, he wants that immediate rematch.
That's what he called for.
He wanted to call on his terms immediately.
Okay.
All right, well, thank you for calling, bro.
Thank you.
Take care.
Hello, who's this?
Good morning.
It's Kelly. Hey, Kelly, thank you for calling, bro. Thank you. Take care. Hello, who's this? Good morning. It's Kelly.
Hey, Kelly.
Get it off your chest.
I'm kind of really upset because I'm confused as to why I don't even want to call him a president.
He's coming to my little old city, and they're blocking off half the city for this man.
Where's he coming?
Where?
I'm going to tell him it's people's job in Erie, PA.
It's a real little city.
What's in Erie, PA?
A bunch of races, biggest. That's a little, real little city. What's in Erie, PA? A bunch of races biggest that's going to come out in record
numbers.
I'm assuming we had really high numbers for
him during the voting election,
but still, like, there's nothing here for him to see.
There's so much construction going
on where they're trying to put money in places that they don't
need to put it in. Like, why do you want to be here?
They're like, him coming here
is interfering with a lot of things that is going on with
people's jobs, and I'm, like, f with A lot of things That is going on With people's jobs And I'm like
Fumid
Because one of my jobs
Is one of them
We can't even go
Pick up kids
Because where I work at
Is right in downtown
And they're blocking off
Downtown for seven blocks
Each
Just for him to be here
Dang
Well I'm sorry mama
Ain't nothing you can do
About that though
It's hard to get around
All you gotta do
Is leave early
Or figure out
A different way to travel
Yeah I really don't
I don't know what
You want us to do
It's the president.
She's just irritated.
We deal with that
all the time here
when he comes here.
When they had the whole
UN meetings here
for a whole week,
you couldn't go anywhere.
Dang.
Yeah.
Man, I just don't want
to be around none of them
people that think
he's the best
and I'll argue
with them all day.
Yeah, it might be
a good time to try
to work from home
or something.
Yeah, act like
today's Columbus Day.
Stay home.
Well, I can't stay home because I just started a new job. Oh, yeah. No, you got to go to work from home or something. Yeah, act like today's Columbus Day. Stay home. Well, I can't stay home
because I just started a new job.
Oh, yeah, no, you got to go to work.
Yeah, and I like where I work at.
It's stress-free.
I love the stressful job
for a less stressful job.
Good for you.
Well, that's a positive.
Yeah, but shout out to my brothers,
Rob and Paul,
and thank you all for having me.
I love you.
All right, have a good one.
All right. Get it good one. All right.
Get it off your chest.
800-585-1051.
If you need to vent, you can hit us up at any time.
Eve, we got rumors on the way?
Well, yeah.
Let's talk about the American Music Awards.
They were on last night.
We'll give you some of the winners and some of the highlights of what happened.
Tracee Ellis Ross was hosting, by the way.
And we'll also talk about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the nominees for 2019 induction.
All right. We'll get into all that when we come back. Keep it Fame, the nominees for 2019 induction. All right.
We'll get into all that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
The Breakfast Club.
Good morning, everybody.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to these rumors.
Let's talk to AMAs.
She's spilling the tea.
This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club.
Well, yes, yesterday the American Music Awards came on.
Tracee Ellis Ross was hosting.
She started off talking about names of artists and what those names mean about them.
One artist she mentioned was Lil Dicky.
She was like, what does that mean?
Now, in addition to that, Taylor Swift last night became the most decorated female artist
in the American Music Awards history.
She actually tapped Whitney Houston's
record. She took home four awards
last night, so she has 23 in total.
I don't see how people could take the AMA serious.
Now, Taylor Swift opened the show, and this is all
decided by your votes. Here's what she
had to say. Thank you so much for this, and
I just wanted to make a mention of the fact
that this award and every
single award given out tonight
were voted on by the people
and you know what else was voted on by the people
is the midterm
elections on November 6th.
Get out and vote. I love you guys.
It's good to get that messaging out but the AMA
is overall a trash. Alright, they're so culturally
clueless and out of touch that they got the Migos in the
best pop rock duo category and XX Tantashian in the pop soul category. Alright, they're so culturally clueless and out of touch that they got the Migos in the best pop rock duo category and
XX Tantasha Yon in the pop soul category.
Alright, now they also pay tribute to
Aretha Franklin and Gladys Knight. Let us see Mary
Mary and more people came out to pay homage.
Here's Gladys Knight.
I was blind
Oh
But now Oh, but now, but now I see.
Also, congratulations to Cardi B.
She won a couple of awards.
She was one of the most nominated artists last night.
One of the awards that she won was for Favorite Artist Rap and Hip Hop.
Here was what she had to say.
Thank you to my glam squad.
Thank you, family.
Thank you, Jesus.
And I really want to thank my daughter.
And not just because she's my daughter, but when I was pregnant,
I was just so influenced to be like, yo, I gotta do this.
I gotta show people wrong.
Cause they said I wasn't gonna make it after I had a baby.
And my husband, hey husband.
So they do have rap and hip hop categories at the AMA.
Yeah, they do.
So why they don't be having the rap and hip hop artists in the rap and hip hop categories?
I mean, I guess they have them in that, and they have them in other categories as well,
because Drake, Post Malone, and Ed Sheeran were all nominated for Favorite Male Artist Pop Rock.
I don't mind the word pop, because it's short for popular,
and hip-hop is the most popular genre, without a doubt,
but I feel like they know what they're doing when they put our best and brightest stars in those other categories.
And then both Camila Cabello and Cardi B and Taylor Swift were all nominated for favorite female artist pop slash rock.
You don't think Post Malone looked like Roseanne with a mustache?
No, I don't think that.
Because he has tattoos also.
Now, XXXTentacion's mother actually accepted an award for him.
He won for favorite soul R&B album.
And here's what she had to say.
I am honored to accept this award on behalf of my son.
I would like to thank the AMAs, his fans,
and to everyone who made this possible.
Thank you guys so much.
I appreciate it.
R&B as a rhythm and blues?
That's what I'm saying.
I'm glad they celebrated me, young man, but R&B soul?
Yeah, the other nominees were Khalid and SZA.
How?
It's all over the place. That's what I'm saying. AMAs, there's a bunch of culturally clueless people, man and SZA. How? It's all over the place.
That's what I'm saying.
They made this bunch of culturally clueless people, man.
SZA makes sense.
Salute XX and Tasha Young's mother, though.
What's her name?
Hold on.
Very beautiful woman.
Yeah, she is.
Very beautiful woman.
Her name is, I don't want to mess this up, Cleopatra Bernard.
Okay.
Who's Cleopatra Bernard. Okay. All right. Cleopatra Bernard. Now they have also announced the nominees for induction into the 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
among the people who are nominated.
Janet Jackson, LL Cool J, Rage Against the Machine, Radiohead, The Cure, Rufus, and Chaka Khan.
I can't believe they're not in there yet.
So they will announce the inductees in December.
Is the Charlamagne Tha God talking.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is trash.
It's very exciting for the audience.
It's trash.
Because rock and roll ain't even the most popping genre of music
and haven't been in a long time.
You just don't like the name of it.
Yes.
Either call it the Music Hall of Fame or that's it.
They're the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
We can create our own.
Why can't we create our own?
L.L. ain't rock and roll.
Chaka Khan ain't rock and roll.
Janet Jackson ain't rock and roll. Chaka Khan ain't rock and roll. Janet Jackson ain't rock and roll.
Just call it the Music Hall of Fame.
Well, HBO is going to broadcast the ceremony,
and you can actually check it out there next year.
But it's exciting for the people who actually make it
and get inducted and get acknowledged for their contributions.
And I will say, since Domingo's...
You have to have released your first commercial recording
at least 25 years ago.
Should be Music Hall of Fame.
But since the Migos won Best Pop Rock Duo last night as official,
they are bigger than the Beatles.
Drop on the clues, bombs for the Migos.
If you want to piss off white people, just say that the Migos are bigger than the Beatles.
Oh, my God.
Even white people that don't even like the Beatles will come out and they'll be like,
oh, the Beatles did suck, but come on.
So just repeat that over and over. It just pisses me off. What's wrong with you, babe? What's wrong with you, babe? don't even like the Beatles will come out and they'll be like, oh, the Beatles did suck, but come on.
So just repeat that over and over.
It just pisses me off. What's wrong with you, babe?
All right.
What's wrong with you, babe?
I don't know.
All right, well, I'm Angela Yee,
and that's your rumor report.
All right.
Now, when we come back,
we got front page news.
What are we talking about, Yee?
Let's talk about a woman
who called the cops on a black man
because he was babysitting two white kids.
I thought Taye Diggs was coming up.
That's after front page news. Oh, gotcha. First we have Front Page News.
Alright, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Everybody, it's DJ, MV, Angela Yee,
Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club.
Let's get in some Front Page News.
Now in sports,
last night the Yankees lost to the Red
Sox 4-3. It was a
great game though. Went to the game last night
brought my pops and my son.
We had a great time bonding, but they did lose.
And we'll see what happens next year.
Shout out to CeCe Sabathia.
Shout out to the Yankees.
Had a great season.
But Boston looks pretty good.
They're going to be playing the Astros, I believe, Saturday night.
I thought if you're a Yankees fan, you can't give Boston no props.
They had a great season.
Even if they're good.
No, they had a great season this year.
They had the best season in baseball.
So congratulations to them.
It was nice weather, too.
Beautiful weather last night.
For you guys to be out at a baseball game.
Absolutely.
And it's not over for the Red Sox, either.
They could lose this round.
Yeah, they can.
Yeah.
Yeah, they play the Astros.
Now, what are we talking about here?
Well, let's talk about Corey Lewis.
He runs a youth mentoring program in Atlanta.
It's called Inspired by Lewis.
And he was watching two kids.
Now, Corey Lewis is black.
This is important to the story.
And the two kids, a 10-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy, are white.
And they were at a subway inside Walmart.
He treated the kids to go eat there.
And then he was standing with the kids outside his car
when a white woman was sitting in her car staring at them,
and she said, are the kids okay?
Here's what else Corey Lewis said happened outside of this Walmart.
Apparently, she saw you at Walmart.
I was at Walmart, yeah.
I got two kids in Babeson.
We ate at Subway at Walmart.
Went and got some gas.
She pulled up talking about some, are the kids okay?
Why wouldn't they be okay?
She left, came back, and asked to see the little girl so she can ask her if she knows who I am.
And then I went over to get some gas
at Murphy's. She came back
there and stayed there.
So the woman actually followed him
everywhere that he was going to his house and then
called the police. That's when Corey
Lewis got on Facebook Live and was
streaming everything that was happening as the police
pulled up.
And he said, I'm being followed and harassed.
Now, the police officer did come and question him
and question the kids because that's his job
and what he had to do.
But you could tell he felt a little bad
and apologetic and embarrassed about it.
But he had to do it.
And according to the parents of the kids,
they said that their kids were fearful.
They said their son said,
the woman followed us because we have peachy skin
and Mr. Lewis has brown skin,
and she thought he was kidnapping us.
And they were also scared that Corey Lewis
wouldn't be able to watch them anymore.
Mind your business, lady.
He should have called the cops on her.
That's what he should have did.
This crazy lady followed him.
That's what he should have called the cops on her.
I mean, just to play white devil's advocate,
if you see something, say something.
But why did she feel like he was suspicious?
Just because he was black?
Yeah, and the kids were happily eating and playing and not having any problems.
You know, like there's no other reason for her to feel like those kids were in trouble.
They were in freaking Walmart having ice cream.
All right?
If I was trying to do something, you know, fishy with the kids,
they're trying to kidnap the kids, I wouldn't be in Walmart eating ice cream.
At Subway.
At Subway.
Okay. They got ice cream at Subway kids. I wouldn't be in Walmart eating ice cream. At Subway. At Subway. Okay.
They got ice cream at Subway?
At Walmart.
They have...
Oh, it was a Subway inside the Walmart.
Yeah, it was a Subway inside the Walmart.
Oh, okay, okay.
I know those places.
You do.
I know.
You frequent there.
Yes, frequent there often.
All right.
So, yeah, he said a black man with white children just didn't look right in this woman's eyes.
Have you seen something suspicious like that ever?
Like, if you saw a black person or
watching two white kids or vice versa,
would you think it was weird? They've done that to me on the plane
before. Like I've been on a plane with my daughter. You've been with your white daughter?
Man, shut up. I do have
a white daughter though. Salute the page. But I've
been on a plane with my daughter and like
they've asked
is that my daughter? I'm like, I hope so. Why would
they ask you that? You know what I'm saying? You know something I don't know?
Why would they ask you that? I don't know. That's so weird
to me. White people are weird. Alright, now
Hurricane Michael is going to be
touching down, strengthening into a Category
4 storm. They have said that
people have to evacuate. They have a state of emergency
in Florida and 35 different counties
and they're basically telling people to
get out. About 3.7 million people are
under hurricane warnings and
they're saying that that tropical storm warning
is going to be hitting today. So,
if you're traveling, anything, just make sure you're very
careful. Pay attention to what's
going on with the weather.
Alright, that is your Front Page News. Alright,
thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come
back. Is this guy still considered a sex
symbol, ladies? Huh? Taye Diggs?
He was actually just in a rom-com with Lucy
Liu on Netflix, which I watched. It was called Set It Up. I don't know
if you guys saw it, but it's cute. Okay. Because I like
Lucy Liu a lot, too. So he's considered
a sex symbol still? Yeah, girls like Taye Diggs.
Ladies like Taye Diggs. And he plays a sex symbol
in that movie. Why you wanna know if he's a sex symbol, bro?
I mean, I know he used to be a sex symbol back in the day. I don't
know about now. That's why I asked the ladies in the room. Do you think
he's still a sex symbol in it? I never
looked at it like that. He still looks exactly
the same. True.
All right.
Well, you might know him from Empire.
Stella got her groove back.
The best man.
Taye Diggs will be joining us next.
Yes.
So don't move.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Everybody, it's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are the Breakfast Club.
We got a special guest in the building.
A man who's dressed for a few different seasons here.
Taye Diggs.
Taye Diggs. What's happening? He did get on boots, cargo pants, Hawaiian shirt. dressed for a few different seasons here. J.D.!
What's happening?
He did get on boots, cargo pants, Hawaiian shirt,
a tie just in case y'all go to church.
You know what I'm saying?
All-season hat, okay?
What's with the clothes?
You were in New York, you was kind of confused if it was warm or cold?
I don't know, man.
I just felt in this vibe, so I just went with it.
How are you, sir?
I'm all right, man.
You have so many legendary
black roles, man. What do people notice you
the most from? It depends on
where I am, but
lately
Empire, I guess. A lot of people
True, true, true.
That was a big one. All the older women, Stella.
That Stella, yeah. The best man, of course.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm older now, so now I get young people that are watching me with their parents and saying,
you know, you're in these classics.
So it offended me at first, but...
Why did it offend you?
I mean, just because, you know, you get older.
I feel young in my head, and then I'm reminded how old I am.
But I feel lucky that, you know, I'm a part of these people.
And age is a blessing.
It can be.
But it is true.
Everybody knows you for something different
because the kids might know you from Empire.
Right, right, right.
But then we, of course, are like,
oh, he's the best man.
That's our guy.
The classics.
Like that, you know, the classics.
And then I watched Set It Up on Netflix.
That's a beautiful thing.
It is a beautiful thing.
And I thank the Lord Jesus every day.
Yes, he's going to be timeless forever.
I like that.
Like you're playing on BET, TV One. I like that. You'll play on BET, TV One.
I enjoyed that.
I got Brown Sugar DVD.
I was literally looking for Brown Sugar Saturday to watch.
DVD?
I don't have the DVD.
But I don't have a DVD.
I don't have a DVD player.
Brown Sugar's on cable right now.
I couldn't find it.
I looked on Star.
I looked on HBO Showtime.
I wanted to see it so bad.
Why did you want to see that?
I was just randomly watching that last week, too.
It was on cable.
That's one of my favorite movies ever.
My goodness.
Which one?
Brown Sugar.
Yes, my two.
That is the best hip-hop love story ever.
Oh, I appreciate that, man.
Yeah, you know.
Let's start from the beginning.
How'd you get into acting?
Because you're from Newark, New Jersey.
Yeah, I was born there.
Born in Newark, New Jersey.
Move straight.
Did you lose some weight, man?
Yeah, I did a little bit.
Thank you.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, all right, man.
He didn't say you look good. He didn't say you lose some weight. You could be sick. Why you hating me. Yeah, okay. Yeah, all right, man. He didn't say you look good.
He didn't say you lose some weight.
You could be sick.
Why do you hate me?
All right, you could be on crack.
Why do you hate me?
You don't hate me.
He didn't say you look good.
You don't hate me.
That's all he said.
That's all he said.
You see, I got a little sick.
He said you could be on crack.
You know what?
Forget it.
I got into, I went to performing arts high school early, and then I just took it from
there.
So you knew from the beginning you wanted to be a thespian.
You know what?
I was a nerd, and then I wanted to play sports, but wasn't strong enough, wasn't big enough,
wasn't cool enough.
And then my mother put me in a performing arts high school, and then it didn't matter.
Like, it didn't matter that you had money.
It didn't matter that you weren't on the football team.
You were just cool if you had a little bit of talent.
And then once I got a little bit of that shine, that attention,
I just went full throttle.
What made you think you was a nerd?
I was.
Why?
I got made fun of.
You might have worn that.
You might have worn that.
Why are you trying to diss his outfit?
I'm going full circle.
Yeah, because they told me I was a nerd.
Really?
You had glasses too? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The They told me I was a nerd. Really? You had glasses too?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
See, the only reason I don't like that nerd term is because.
I don't like it, but I mean, I'm just saying that's what I was called.
Because most kids that are actually good, smart, doing what they're supposed to do.
Right.
Get called nerd.
Correct. Yes.
But it all worked out because once I was exposed to the arts, I was like, okay, this feels
too good to leave.
So then I just, I took off. When did you feels too good to leave. So then I just took off.
When did you grow out of it?
When you got pecs?
I'm serious.
I'm looking at that man's pecs.
Goodness gracious.
All right.
Kind of.
Well, the arts.
Like once I was at that school, School of the Arts in Rochester.
So big ups to School of the Arts.
Did a rock.
Then I was able to kind of flourish and not have to worry about other people's perceptions
because they were judging me on my talent.
But it wasn't until like the first movie, How Stella Got Her Groove Back,
where I was like, oh, people see me in a different way than I was used to.
And that was your first movie?
A little bit.
A lot of it, Tay.
But I'm just saying it was a trip for me because i had never seen myself
in that way that was a big role to get it was yes that's your first one yes that's crazy yeah
right out the gate and at the time you sleep with to get that uh this girl could no i'm just kidding
um no exactly nobody was it hard being known as a sex symbol because you know you said you was
known for your talent and that's what you loved. But then when you became the role in Stella, you was just objectified often?
Like what was it?
Yeah, yeah.
But I mean, it was still, it was like there was a, I had to walk a tightrope.
Because on one side, it was really cool to be the person that I thought I always wanted to be.
I always wanted to be the stud and looked up to the light-skinned dudes with the wavy hair. And then all of a sudden
it changed and people were looking
at me differently. But at the same time, I almost
didn't feel like I deserved it.
So when people would stop me, I would get annoyed.
Because right before the movie, nobody was really
sweating me. You know what I mean? I know the feeling.
Yeah.
You definitely don't know the feeling.
At any rate.
I don't see what's so funny.
Why is everybody laughing?
He's laughing like,
I don't think you do.
No.
I am not.
I am not.
I am not.
Was it pressure?
Like older women
always running up on you
thinking that you're the guy
that can get the group back?
No, it was like,
it was like,
are you living through him?
Is that what you're doing right now?
I'm doing,
conducting an interview.
Okay, good.
Okay.
It was,
it was at the,
it took me just a minute
to get used to it.
For me,
I was just doing my job
and I didn't understand
why people would trip out,
but then it took me a minute
to be like,
okay,
these people appreciate you
in a certain way.
Get out of your own head
and just be honored
that these people appreciate you.
You can forget it.
Now they run up with selfies, the camera out, ready to take a picture.
It's the whole thing.
Yeah.
Demanding things.
But I get it.
I get it.
Like, I'm very appreciative.
I get the feeling you're in your head a lot, T.
I try to get out of it.
But yeah, I'm a Capricorn.
I'm a thinker.
So.
Hey.
Yeah.
Capricorn's over here.
Now, any roles that you gave up because you didn't want to be that quote-unquote sex symbol?
You didn't want to be known as the sex symbol guy?
Black Panther.
I'm just kidding.
Like, damn, you passed on Black Panther?
I said, wow, all right.
You idiot.
I was like, you goddamn fool.
I was about to go.
Okay.
I said, whoa, okay.
That's funny. Passed up. Ah. Whoa, okay. Ah. That's funny.
Passed up.
Um, no.
You feel like you got your just due from Hollywood
because you did come up in that first era of black excellence.
You know what?
There was a moment.
There was a moment, and this is when I almost kind of got off track,
where I was doing really, really well, if I can be blunt,
like with black film.
And then I was looking at the other white actors
and I almost felt like I didn't realize
that there were areas of the industry that was racist.
So I was like, I want to be on the cover of Vanity Fair
like Matt Damon.
I remember I saw a cover of Matt Damon
and I started switching up agencies
because I was like, I want you to put me up for all the white movies.
And all the agencies
would act like they could, but then they
couldn't, but they wouldn't tell me why.
So I thought it was on them.
But at the time, you know, I wasn't
sophisticated enough or
just kind of on the ground enough to realize,
okay, wait, it's not that time
yet. You know what I'm saying? You're not ready for black people to be gay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It took a minute, you know, with the Will Smiths and whatnot.
But that's when I started to get out of, you know, off my path
and being like, wait, I want, instead of just appreciating what I had
and staying, you know, in my path, in my lane,
I was like, I want more.
I want more.
You know what I mean?
I want what that guy's got as opposed to just, you know,
staying grounded and appreciating where I was and
then letting that grow naturally.
That's interesting because Michael B. Jordan said he received some flack for saying he
wanted to audition for roles written specifically for white people.
Mm hmm.
Yeah, it's it's it's it's it's an interesting situation.
It's it's so different now.
And I'm very it's so great to just sit back and watch how times have changed. Because the stuff that
was going on with Black Panther, I couldn't
believe it. I was so, I mean I
saw that movie with my kid and I cried.
You know what I mean? Just because he was
sitting next to him and he's watching
this black superhero and it's just
regular for him. He doesn't know any
different. And for me, it was like
I didn't know. Never could have seen that in a million years.
Uh-uh. Uh-uh.
So that's tight.
Alright, we got more with Taye Diggs when we come back.
Don't move. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ
N.V. Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
We are The Breakfast Club. We have actor
Taye Diggs in the building. Charlamagne?
What bias have you experienced in the
acting world and Hollywood in general?
Um... What is it?
I mean, I can't really complain, but in the beginning, you know,
I never got cast as a thug, you know what I mean?
I was always, you know, the...
Player.
Right, right, sophisticated, kind of well-spoken, articulate,
and there were times, you know, when I wanted to kind of play outside that,
but, you know, I didn't really stress. Let's talk's talk about all American he has to leave in a second so all
American yes all American did you have to audition for that role I ish I had a meeting and it was a
type of situation where I just uh you know I've been really lucky I've been played lawyers and
doctors and you know hit men and cops. And I've never played a coach.
And just the subject matter, because, you know, I have a mixed race kid.
And this person has the character I play.
You know, he's married to a white woman and has two mixed kids.
And we're dealing a lot with, you know, identity and, you know, socioeconomics.
That's not a role at all. That's real life for you in some ways.
Oh, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, yeah.
But I'm dealing with these issues in a way, you know, very unapologetically.
I was really excited to step into a role like that.
And it's based on a real person too, right?
Yes.
Spencer Pasinger, yeah.
He started out at Beverly and then he was from South Central and then he moved to Beverly.
Then he had to deal with all of the differences, you know, and the crazy dynamics with coming from a black school,
going to a white school, but then being an athlete,
and then going to the NFL.
Are you a football fan?
Are you a football fan?
I'm more so now.
Oh, so you weren't into football.
I was in it generally, really light,
but now because of this role, I'm learning a lot.
You wait till all the black people start boycotting football
to get into it, Tay?
Come on, Tay.
I'm sure we're going to deal with those issues.
You know what I mean?
It's a really interesting time right now.
So we'll see that on the show as well?
I'm sure.
I wouldn't doubt it.
Now, are you back dating white women yet?
Because I heard you on The Red Pill with my man Van Lee.
Van, man.
That's our guy.
You said you don't know if you can mess with a white girl now
because you have the backlash you received from the sisters.
It did a little thing on my head.
I'm single now, and I'm just kind of laying back.
But I don't know, you know, for so long, because I was married to a white woman, I got so much flack that I couldn't help, you know, not have it affect me in some way.
Was that part of the reason why y'all broke up?
No, no, no, no.
Because it affected you in some way?
Yeah, yeah, no, no. It affected you in some way. Yeah, yeah.
Just afterwards.
Just because it's like,
you know,
you carry a weight for so long,
you know,
and you get that weight,
you know,
lifted off your shoulders
for a bit,
and for a minute...
So you're saying
that divorcing your white wife
got that weight of whiteness
off you.
You know what?
That's what it says.
A little bit.
A little bit.
But then, you know,
but just in certain ways,
if I'm being honest, you know, I wasn't as guarded.
I would walk in places and be like, okay, be prepared.
Someone's going to say something.
All right, be prepared.
You know what I mean?
And I'll be honest, you know, after that happened, I didn't have to do that anymore.
Now, there were other weights, you know, other weights that I had to carry just because, you know, divorce isn't cool and we had a family.
But, you know, that little element, if I'm being honest, you know, there was a bit of relief.
I mean, it's interesting because you guys met doing Rent, which is a long time ago,
and I'm sure you spent so much time together.
So you should be able to just love who you love and people end up falling in love with who they're around.
Yes, that's what I thought.
But it wasn't until I, you open yourself up,
and then once I opened myself up, I got all this energy,
you know, from certain people that did not necessarily feel that way.
How did your family feel about it?
Did you feel like having a white wife would help you grow in Hollywood?
No.
Did you think it would help you, like, get more?
No, I wasn't thinking anything except, yeah, I was into her, yeah.
How did your family feel?
Because you are from Newark, and I know that.
My family was so, I mean, you know, it was love first.
You know, take care of yourself.
God, you know, be a good person.
Love who you love.
And then when I got Stella, and then I was, you know, I didn't read things.
I was, you know, I didn't open myself up to what other people's opinions.
And that's another thing I started to do.
I started to read what other people were saying and let that affect me I didn't know that people felt
that way you know I mean but you know everybody is entitled to their own
feelings how does your ex-wife feel about you know you being you're not not
happy about her whiteness I'm being married to a white woman how regretting
it a little bit oh I don't regret it. Yeah.
You sure?
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
No, I don't regret it. I mean, to say you'll never date another white woman again.
That was what I said in the moment, and I didn't say I would never date another white woman again.
Oh, okay.
I never said that.
Why are you putting words in my mouth, man?
I thought I heard it on the radio.
No, you didn't hear it on the radio, man.
Why are you putting words in my mouth?
What exactly did you say?
Why are you putting words in my mouth?
Why are you putting words in my mouth?
I'm just kidding.
What exactly did you say?
I said, I don't know if.
I don't know if.
I don't know if I'll date another white woman.
I don't know if.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know.
So you also said during that time that you would get a...
Oh, don't just let him get away from the white women conversation.
God damn.
No, you also said during that time...
You had to find it.
You had to see.
Years later.
Years later.
You would get a hall pass for Lucy Liu, and then you ended up doing a movie with her.
Ah, that was awesome.
Yeah.
Set it up.
But no, but see, I had a hall pass, and then I did the TV show, Ally McBeal.
Oh, that's right.
This was years ago.
So the hall pass was ready.
Yeah, it was been and gone.
Did she ever say anything to you about that?
I mean, we knew.
Like, she knew I was feeling it.
Like, when I was doing the show
I asked her out and she was like nope
Yeah, like let's just be friends why did you take so many nudes on Instagram like that one pick yet?
Yeah, I'm nude. Why are you saying so many?
Like you man. I thought you were on your stuff man so many it was one
With my butt why you say so many let me pull it up for you I thought you were on your stuff, man. So many. It was one. How many did he take? One was enough.
Why you say so many?
Let me pull it up for you.
It looks like a lot to me.
I bet you that is a screensaver.
I thought it was funny.
This one pic looked like a lot to me.
It was pretty funny.
I'll give you that.
Thank you.
Why can you go to the picture that fast, bro?
I'm Googling Taye Diggs news.
See, earlier he was looking at my pecs.
Well, he looks for that since we have a limited amount of time.
But why did you do that?
I thought it was funny.
Did you like it?
I thought it was funny.
Got you.
Yeah.
He has a pretty good sense of humor.
I didn't know why you were doing that.
You didn't think it was funny?
Why did you take Diggs on Instagram with his ass up?
No.
You didn't think it was funny?
No.
Did you like it, Charlamagne?
It probably wasn't for you, Charlamagne.
Did you like the picture?
Did it get a lot of likes?
I don't know.
I'm sure I did.
I wasn't even into it like that, but I thought it was funny. Would you like the picture? Did it get a lot of likes? I don't know. I'm sure I did. I wasn't even into it
like that, but I thought it was funny.
Would you do it again?
Maybe for you. I'll do it for you.
He said, I'll do it for you.
I'll do it for you.
I think he's flirting with you.
You want me to do it?
Alright, Charlamagne.
I'm very secure in my masculinity.
I'm a married man. Shut up, man.
Okay, we got two minutes.
So the final question.
Does Sanaa Lathan ever bite you on the set of Brown Sugar?
As in how?
Like, allegedly, she bit Beyonce.
Allegedly.
Oh, did she ever bite me?
Did she really do that?
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
I love Sanaa Lathan.
She's my wife.
She's my work wife.
So I only have wonderful things to say about her.
So you've never seen her exhibit any of that kind of beauty?
Never.
But I mean, you know, if she did, I'm sure there was reason.
You know what I mean?
He's got a great tattoo, too.
Oh, my gosh.
You're just checking him out.
It says Chocolate Me.
That's a book I wrote.
Oh, okay.
Got you, got you, got you.
This is awkward.
Why is it awkward?
You want to leave the room? You want to just leave the room? Yeah, I don't know what's is awkward. Why is it awkward? You want to leave the room?
You want to just leave the room?
Yeah, I don't know what's going on.
Why is it awkward?
The man got a big tattoo that says chocolate me.
Who's not going to ask him about that?
I'm not going to ask him about a chocolate.
Because you can't see it.
Could you show him the tattoo?
No, I don't want to see it.
I don't want to see your tattoo.
No, I'm good.
You want to see my booty?
Do you want to see my booty and my pecs too?
He did bring up all those things.
I'm just saying, this is what I got from you.
No, no.
My pecs, my booty, and my arms.
And last question from me and Taye Diggs.
My chocolate arms.
Last time I saw you, you said you were going to be writing a book.
So how far along, besides the children's book, how far along are you?
Oh, I stopped that for a bit to focus on the kids' books.
But I'm going to get back to it but I'm going to get back to it.
I'm going to get back to it.
Thank you for asking, though.
All right.
All right.
Thank you.
He's got a white appointment to make.
You got any other questions?
He has to rush off to a white show.
What show are you going to, Tay?
Sirius.
Sirius XM.
What?
Sirius?
Yeah.
Y'all are kicking me off.
I got to go.
He's going to see somebody.
He's not going to ask about his pecs and his ass.
He's feeling awkward.
Well, it's not like a boring interview to me.
All right, good.
I run off to your little boring interview, okay?
All right.
Where you won't get after a bunch of pecs in your ass.
And white girls.
The new series is all American.
I've never done a white girl again, ever.
Ever no more white girls.
It's the Breakfast Club.
It's Taye Diggs.
The Breakfast Club.
Right the book out.
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God. We are the Breakfast Club. It's Taye Diggs. The Breakfast Club. Like a book out. 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 Terrence J.
Listen up.
It's just in.
All the gossip.
Gossip.
The rumor report.
Gossip.
With Angela Yee.
It's the rumor report.
The Breakfast Club.
Well, we're still waiting to gather more information,
but it turns out that Terrence J.'s car, a black McLaren, how much does that cost?
Around $300,000.
Damn, is he going to be at your car show?
No, his car is in LA.
Well, I don't know if you saw what his car looks like right now,
but that car is not going to make it.
But apparently, that car was wrecked in a car crash.
Now, witnesses are saying that his girlfriend, Jasmine Sanders, was behind the wheel
and that Terrence J was a passenger.
But Jasmine Sanders' rep is saying
that she was not in the vehicle at the time
of the accident and was in no way
involved. So what did they hit?
It looks like they hit a parking meter.
Yeah, it looks like a pole.
And they said there was,
I guess, a tree. It hit a tree.
And I don't know what happened, but the alleged
driver lost control for whatever reason.
And you're supposed to leave a note on the parking meter.
If you actually hit something, you're not supposed to just leave.
But apparently, whoever Terrence J was with fled the scene.
By the way, if I hit a tree that time of night,
I'm calling an Uber to take me home.
I'll be back for the car tomorrow.
Yeah, I'll be back.
I didn't hurt anybody.
Ain't nobody hurt.
I ain't hit nobody.
It's my fault.
Leave a note.
This is my car. I'll be back for it tomorrow. Yeah, it was 1230 hurt. I ain't hit nobody. It's my fault. Leave a note. This is my call.
I'll be back for it.
Yeah, it was 1230 a.m.
Ain't nobody got time for that.
When this happened.
We sit there and wait for an hour or two.
What, for the police to come?
Ain't nobody got time for all that.
All right, now, Cardi B.
Let's talk about her interview with W Magazine.
She's on the cover of W Magazine's art issue.
And that was the first interview that she did since she gave birth to her daughter, Culture.
And she talks about the fight at New York Fashion Week that involved Nicki Minaj.
And what she had to say was, for a while now, she's been taking a lot of shots at me. I spoke
to her twice before we came to an understanding, but she kept it going. She said, I was going to
make millions off my Bruno Mars tour, and I sacrificed that to stay with my daughter. I love
my daughter. I'm a good-ass effing mom. So for somebody that don't have a child to like that comment,
and that comment was when they said Nicki Minaj liked
and then unliked a derogatory tweet about Cardi B being a mother,
she said, so many people want to say that party wasn't the time or the place,
but I'm not going to catch another artist in the grocery store down the block.
But she also said that Kris Jenner gave her some advice.
She said, Kris told me people are going to talk badly about you,
but it doesn't really matter as long as you're making money.
And it's true.
If you read the online comments, it seems like everybody hates the Kardashians,
each and every one of them.
But how can that be true if everything they sell sells out?
That is a fact.
Social media is all an illusion.
But even if it's not an illusion, you always got to remember the rule of 10.
Three people are going to like it.
Three people are not going to like it.
Four people are not even going to be caring.
All right.
Well, speaking of Cardi B, Offset is not too happy with Joe Button.
Now, Joe Button had posted that State of the Culture is back out right now at Revolt TV.
And Offset replied and said, I watched your show.
You a grown ass and were speaking on women.
I seen you in Barnes and you ran like I was going to do something to you.
You hoe ass and we're soon you get touch.
You're going to be police. What is Barnes?
Now, I'm going to assume they were in
Barnes & Noble. No, no, no, Barnes. I'm sure it was
Barnes. I was like, let me find out. They were both in the
bookstore. Offset scene, Joe
Button in Barnes & Noble.
Joe Button and Offset both read.
I know, but I like the fact that they were both in the
bookstore about to fight.
I had my own section
in Barnes & Noble in the flagship store in New York City.
I'm sure it was Barney's.
Well, that changes the whole narrative for me then.
Well, anyway, what was Offset so upset about?
Well, it was probably this conversation.
She's been...
She should stop taking her shoe off and throwing it at people.
She's been Cardi B, the bitch from the Bronx, for 25 years.
I don't have a problem with people defending
their family, their
family's honor, and all that
s***. You just can't fight everybody.
You're gonna lose. Because what happens
when Atlantic stops backing her?
Why would Atlantic be backing Cardi B in a
fight? Mike Kizer ain't there with his fist up.
Like, what is he talking about? I think he
probably meant, like, financially or business-wise.
Yeah, but they don't have to support her. They're not backing
her fight. They're not Golden Boy promotions.
Like, what are you talking about, Joe?
Right.
And why are we acting like Cardi fights everywhere?
Cardi's had one instance.
She's had one situation since been in the industry.
Well, 50 Cent weighed in and he said, oh, ish, Joe running a MF-er.
And then he said, Joe got a history of getting popped in the eye, LOL.
Now, Joe Button is supposed to be coming out of retirement, by the way,
even though he said he's not rapping anymore.
He's retired. But they're saying that he may be doing the upcoming BET Cypher right now.
They have not. They have not confirmed that. But they said Joe Button might possibly do that.
The BET Awards are going to be on October 16th, even though they happened already.
I thought I taped it already. You don't know about the Cyphers yet. So I don't know.
Now, listen, I'm here for that. I actually would like to hear
Joe rap in 2018, but the only reason
I don't believe that rumor is because they said Eminem is
introducing him. Yeah, that's
not going to happen. Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen.
But they're saying it could have been filmed prior
to their clash. That would have to be like, what, a year
ago? No, no way. So that means they might have filmed
it a long time ago. No way. I don't know.
They might have an old one. Who knows? Maybe it's an old
one from back in the day.
Who knows?
I did run into Si High
to print a shout out to him
when I was in Atlanta.
So, yeah,
you see the two of them
have been going back
and forth as well.
Now, we've been talking
a lot about the Migos,
about Cardi B.
Well, Quavo has teased
an upcoming collaboration.
Here's what he said.
What if the Migos
and Drake drop a collab
mixtape after the tour?
You must be a psychic.
If that don't tell you something, I don't know what to tell you.
That'd be dope.
Yeah, looks like it is going to happen.
I'm not mad at that.
Yep.
And Quavo's album, Quavo Honcho, is going to debut on We The Best Radio with DJ Khaled.
So you guys, if you want to see that.
That's right.
What?
What ad libs are you doing?
I'm just saying.
The Migos are bigger than the Beatles.
They stupid.
John Lennon got a solo album?
Does John Lennon have a solo album?
Yes, he does.
Yeah, I think he does.
You don't remember the song Imagine?
A little song called Imagine?
And he has albums with Yoko Ono as well.
Quavo bigger than John Lennon.
Working me.
John Lennon definitely has solo albums.
You don't need a Yoko Ono when you got a Saweetie.
So does Paul McCartney.
Take off bigger than Paul McCartney.
Shut up, man.
Shut up.
And I'll say bigger than the other ones.
Who the other ones?
Who else is in the Beatles?
Mick Jagger.
Ringo Starr.
Mick Jagger's in the Rolling Stones.
Mick Jagger's in another group, bro.
He's in the Rolling Stones, sir.
Oh, for real?
Oh, George Harrison was in the Beatles.
George Michaels.
George Harrison. George Michaels is definitely not in the Beatles. George Michaels. George Harrison.
George Michaels was definitely not in the Beatles.
I think there's four of them.
Elton John.
Elton John's a Beatle, right?
No, he's not.
He is.
Elton John's a Beatle.
All white people are not in the same group, bro.
You don't know.
I know.
You know, you're right.
You're right.
I know.
Yeah, that's it.
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.
Next one, though.
Eminem in there.
So who are George Michaels and Elton John?
George Michaels was from the group Wham, and he was a solo artist as well.
Okay.
And Elton John's a solo artist.
Don't explain it to him.
He knows.
He knows.
Benny and the Jets.
Who's that?
That's Elton John.
The only Jets I know is Currency Spitts.
And Tiny Dancer.
And the New York Jets.
All right.
I'm Angela Yee.
And that is your Rumor Report.
All right.
Now, Charlamagne.
Yes.
Who you giving that donkey to?
Oh, man.
You know, I was trying.
I really was, Florida.
Florida, I'm really...
Florida, I be trying, man. I don't think you be trying, Florida. Florida, I'm really, Florida, I be trying, man.
I don't think you be trying, bro.
Florida, I promise you, I do not go out of my way to find donkey of the days from Florida, man.
But Florida never ceases to amaze me, okay?
Before after the hour, we're going to do some how to pass a drug test etiquette.
Because what they doing in Florida to pass a drug test ain't it.
All right.
We'll get into that next.
Keep it locked.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Good morning.
Make sure you tell them to watch out for Florida, man.
The craziest
people in America come from the Bronx and
all of Florida. Yes.
You are a donkey.
A Florida man
attacked an ATM for a very strange
reason. It gave him too much money.
A Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home
in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife.
Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a Flamingo.
It's a breakfast club, bitchy.
Donkey of the day.
With Charlemagne the guy.
I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this.
Drop one of the clues bombs for Taylor Hayes.
Okay.
Taylor Hayes production.
All right.
New Donkey of the. Florida intro.
Don't care today for Wednesday, October 10th.
Once again goes to people in the great state
of Florida. Florida, I don't ever want you all
to think that your Uncle Charlotte doesn't love you because
I do. Alright. Florida brings me great joy.
There is no place like Florida on the whole planet.
I grew up loving Uncle Luke and 2 Live Crew.
I love Trick Daddy. I love Trina. I love
Rick Ross. I love Gunplay. I love the
City Girls. I love Tokyo Jets. I love Miami. I love Disney World. I love Trick Daddy. I love Trina. I love Rick Ross. I love Gunplay. I love the City Girls. I love Tokyo Jets.
I love Miami.
I love Disney World.
I love Andrew Gillum.
And y'all better make him your next governor next month.
I love Florida, okay?
Why would I not love a state that provides me so much great content on a daily basis?
See, what has your Uncle Sharla gotten on this radio and told you all these years?
The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
And the Floridians in Jacksonville
have earned y'all yet another
donkey of the day. See, it's the owner
of a BP gas station in Jacksonville
named Parul Patel.
And he's sick and tired of being sick and tired.
See, people in Florida keep coming
in this man's gas station and they are
taking advantage of his kindness.
Now, who in this room has ever used
a microwave in a gas station? Raise your hands.
Okay, just you,
Drom? Alright, just Drom.
I've seen microwaves in
gas stations, but I've never used one. Drom, grab the mic.
What have you ever microwaved in a gas station? I'd like to know.
Like a burrito. A burrito?
Okay, alright.
He's Puerto Rican. Drop on a clothesline for him.
Staying on brand.
Staying on brand.
Me, personally, I've never used a microwave in a gas He's Puerto Rican. Drop on a cool bomb for him. He is. Staying on brand. All right? Staying on brand. He is.
Me, personally, I've never used a microwave in a gas station.
Never had the need to.
Never been in a gas station that long.
Never bought anything from the gas station that I needed to warm up right then and there.
Okay, I'll warm that honey bun up when I get to the house.
Well, here's the thing.
I'm sitting here thinking about things that I would possibly buy that I would want to warm up right there in the microwave at the BP.
Well, leave it to Florida to come up with something to warm in the microwave at the gas station
that I never thought about.
Let's go to First Coast News with the report.
Don't microwave your urine.
Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop right there.
Okay. What?
Only in Florida.
On the news, would they have to state something so obvious at the top of the news report?
All right, let's start there from the the beginning back to First Coast News for the
report please don't microwave your urine a picture of this sign saying exactly that is getting a lot
of attention on social media it claims to be inside a south side gas station in Jacksonville
the sign is on display for everyone to see at the on-the-fly convenience store on Phillips Highway
the microwave has settings for baked potato, popcorn, and pizza.
But owner Parul Patel says some people come in off the street to heat up something else.
We got sick and tired of people bringing in their urine containers.
The BP gas station and on-the-fly convenience store are located on the corner of Shad Road and Phillips Highway.
And not far up the road,
Quest Diagnostics. A few blocks away, there's also a lab corp. Both companies offer drug testing
services and collect urine samples. Patel says some people walk into her store so desperate to
pass their tests, they become violent. A spokesperson for Quest Diagnostics says the
location near the gas station does not collect urine samples anyway. The nearest site that does is on Southside Boulevard, and that's about five miles away.
Parole Patel is a woman, by the way.
She actually had a little verbal altercation with somebody
because she wouldn't let them warm their piss up in the store.
Can we hear what she had to say?
And she started cussing at me.
And she said, well, where is the sign that says you can't use this for this kind of purpose?
And that gave me an idea. I said, well, where is the sign that says you can't use this for this kind of purpose? And that gave me ideas that, you know what, if that's what you're asking me,
then I'll put the sign saying this is only for food use and not to use for your urine or anything else.
That's true.
What if you're planning to eat your urine?
Then does that count as food?
You don't eat urine.
You would drink it, you know, if it gets crunchy.
I just I just I really.
That is true.
There's no sign. I just need I really... That is true. There's no sign.
I just need everybody from Florida to gather around your smartphones
and Google best ways to pass a urine drug test.
Okay, now this is only for weed.
It stays in your system for 30 to 45 days.
Depends on your smoking habits.
If you smoke daily, it will probably exceed past 45 days.
There are several ways to remove marijuana from your body.
Let me read you a few, okay?
You can use a detoxing product.
You know, you got Cat's Claw, Golden Seal, Devil's Claw.
They can all be bought from GNC.
You can use an exercise routine.
Drink a lot of fluids, water, juice, tea.
You can take mineral supplements.
You can go into the sauna, all right?
They got seven-day detox kits.
You can use fast marijuana detox kits.
They say taking aspirin.
Take an aspirin four to six hours prior to a drug test.
It'll cause an error in the test.
They got synthetic urine.
You can buy it online.
Only problem with that is it got to be warming in room temperature in order to pass the real pee.
So they still have to warm it up in BP.
Got to go to that microwave.
I would rather you do the synthetic urine than the real urine in the microwave, though.
All right.
I would tell y'all not to smoke, but it's Florida.
So I understand the stress.
You got to smoke.
Okay, but there is something good I found.
I found something for y'all to try to pass the drug test in Florida.
It's the Wizinator.
Okay, it's a prosthetic penis that comes in five different skin tones.
It's about five inches long.
It looks and feels exactly like the real thing.
It's proven to work in countless scenarios.
Get strapped.
And rest assured, nobody will ever know you're faking it.
No, that's serious. You can get the strap for real. It's called the Wizinator. Look, man, all I want y'all to work in countless scenarios. Get the strap. And rest assured, nobody will ever know you're faking it. No, that's serious.
You can get the strap for real.
It's called the Wizard Nader.
Look, man, all I want y'all to do is stop warming your urine in the microwave at the BP.
Don't microwave your urine.
People are putting food in there in the mornings on the way to work, okay, at lunch.
People eating their hot dogs, their burritos, their honey buns.
They're wondering why these things have such a tangy taste.
Can you imagine if someone ate some asparagus the night before
and then warmed their urine in the microwave after eating asparagus the night before
and then all you want is a pretzel and somebody urine from earlier
and spilled in the microwave and you think it's melted butter on your pretzel
but it's really the asparagus piss?
Come on now. Please give all these people from Jacksonville warming their urine in the microwave think it's melted butter on your pretzel, but it's really the asparagus piss. Yeah.
Come on now.
Please give all these people from Jacksonville warming their urine in the microwave at the BP gas station the biggest hee-haw.
Now, just some tips for you guys.
What?
You know, if you are going to use somebody else's urine to pass a drug test, it does
have to be room temperature, like he was saying, but you can probably use hand
warmers to keep your urine warm at that time.
But if you do put it in the microwave, you should only put it in for some time between
eight and 12 seconds or it might get flat.
I mean, if there was no sign, why can't I use it?
There is a sign.
There's a big sign on the microwave now.
Now there's a sign.
You know why I got to put a sign on the microwave?
Why?
Because in Florida, you have to state the obvious for these people.
All right?
You have to tell them. Don't microwave your urine.
Simple as that.
Jesus Christ.
I'm going to put a sign on the microwave in the iHeart studio just to do it.
She's stupid.
Have everybody run and say, who is microwaving their urine?
Matter of fact, hey, interns.
Oh, my goodness.
Don't make this sound for y'all.
Oh, my goodness.
All right.
Well, that is Don K today. Thank you, interns. Oh, my goodness. Don't make this sound for your uncle, Charlamagne. Oh, my goodness. All right. Well, that is Don K today.
Thank you, sir.
Now, when we come back, ask Yee.

We are the Breakfast Club.
It's time for Ask Yee.
Hello, who's this?
What's up?
This is Ashley.
I'm from Indianapolis.
Hey, Ashley.
What's your question for Yeezy?
So, Yee, I'm having some baby father issues.
Okay.
Basically, I'm conflicted of whether or not to put him on child support.
My daughter is one.
She'll be two in January.
She's absolutely amazing.
But the issue I'm having now, a year later, is basically I'm tired of doing it on my own.
I pay for everything on my own, out of my own pocket.
Insurance, daycare, food, anything else that she needs, clothing.
It's everyday expenses.
And when I go to him begging begging
me for help I never get it there was a time earlier this year I was homeless instead of
him taking his daughter which he could have because he had a home he insisted that I take
her with me to stay at a friend's house now this particular environment was not very conducive for
a child with me being an adult you You know, I can handle myself.
But it's those sort of things that he refused to do.
Then he goes on to tell me, you know, well, I can't give it to you this week
because I had to pay this off and this off and I had to pay this.
But you don't have s*** in the show for it.
You lost your car.
You don't have a home of your own.
So where's your money going?
Then he has three other children on child support that I had to find out about at a later time after my daughter was born.
He sounds like a bad mistake.
He's fertile.
He's real fertile.
But he's basically, I do have an appointment already set for child support.
Okay.
But my conviction comes in because now he's really homeless living on the street.
But he got a job, you know?
So I kind of feel like that's not my problem.
But my daughter is.
And the fact that I'm having to break my back, miss work, you know, work double jobs.
I never get to see my child halfway.
I can see my child from 9 to 12 each night because I'm working all day.
And then when I see her, she's sleepy.
So we don't get that time.
And just period, point blank, I need the help.
But in the same breath, this man's already on the street.
So you feel bad for him that he's on the street because he's irresponsible with his money and with his penis.
But he didn't feel bad for you when you had to find a place to stay and find a place for your daughter to stay.
And he wouldn't even take his own daughter and he doesn't pay for anything.
That's true.
I don't understand what you feel bad about.
He wasn't feeling bad at all.
He wasn't feeling bad, but in the same breath
This isn't for you.
This is for your child. Yeah.
This is to make sure that your child is
taken care of. You're not asking for child support
because you need to go get your nails done.
No, I do my own nails. You're asking
for child support because my child needs
things and this is your child too
and these are basic responsibilities that
you're supposed to be taking care of.
I don't know what you feel bad about.
I feel terrible just because he's already in a bad situation.
But like you said, you know, I do have to view it from that particular perspective.
And guess what?
It's his fault that he's in a bad situation.
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
You're right, G.
And your child shouldn't have to suffer because a father's a bum.
You're right. He is., G. And your child shouldn't have to suffer because a father's a bum. You're right.
He is.
I mean, he has his problems.
But in the same breath.
If he was taking care of his business and handling things, you wouldn't have to take him to court.
True.
And I have now.
I have tried over this last year.
I've, you know, you know, kind of explained to him, hey, let's go to council.
Let's go to 100 black men's program we got here in the city.
Let's go and see how we can better co-parent.
We got, hey, I found out about an app we can download together.
You can get it on this day.
You don't got to, I even told him, you know, hey, give me just $40 on this daycare each month.
And he will not do that.
So even if I do go get the chapter four order and he don't pay it, I mean, I'm still in the same place.
Ashley, go get the child support.
It's child support for your child, okay?
He didn't care when he was lying about things.
He didn't care when you didn't have a place to stay.
Right now, this is your first priority, not feeling bad for him.
I feel you, Eve.
All right, Ashley.
And I hope y'all still really do go to counseling for him to be a better father,
but he's going to have to step up to the plate, and you can't force him to do that.
But what you can do is get what you can
for your child so that everything doesn't fall
on you. I will do that, Yee. I appreciate
you listening. Alright, Ashley. You deserve
it. Alright. Good luck, Mama.
Thanks. Ask Yee.
800-585-1051. If you need
relationship advice, hit it now. It's The Breakfast Club.
Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ
MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne
the guy. We are The Breakfast Club.
We're in the middle of Ask Yee.
Hello, who's this?
Hey, it's Betsy.
What's up?
What's up, mama?
What's your question for Yee?
Me and my man, we're together for seven years, right?
We have three kids out of that relationship.
I left him about two months ago just because he's nine years younger than me.
He's nothing.
We just don't click anymore.
So I left him, right?
I just found out we still was doing our thing or whatever.
Okay, so y'all were still messing around with each other.
Yes, but I told him, like, I know you're messing with other girls,
but just stay strapped up or whatever.
Anyways, he swore to me he's not in no relationship with nobody.
I just found out yesterday, last night, that he's in a relationship
and he's been in a relationship for about
a month or two now.
His thing is now, he wants her
to meet the kids. She's in love with
my kids and this and this and that.
And I'm a little bitter about it.
I'm a little jealous.
The big bang, he wants me to meet her.
I'm like, for what?
Betsy, now this is interesting because we just actually have
Mashanda up here with her book Blend
where she talks about a similar situation
but the thing is, is this a woman that he
feels like he's going to marry or
even be with long term?
I asked him and he told me he's really
happy with her and I told him like,
I'm really happy for you that you're happy.
You found happiness but I'm not happy about the
relationship. I'm jealous because we didn't have that
and that's fine for you to have
those feelings of jealousy but you
also don't want to be with him and you've made that clear
you left him I don't yes I don't because
when we're together for more than a day
and we fight like cats and dogs
like it's just one thing that's good in it
but we do have beautiful children together and it's just
like it's weird for me so now my kids
you should definitely read Mishanda's book, Blend,
but it's important a lot of the things that she said is to have empathy.
Of course you want somebody to be around your kids that is,
and one day there is going to be another woman around your kids
because you don't want to even be with this man anyway, right?
I don't.
And you want to make sure that person's a great person that takes care of your children,
who you know, who you can communicate with.
It's not going to happen overnight.
It's going to be a process. But if he really feels like this woman is going to be in your children, who you know, who you can communicate with. It's not going to happen overnight. It's going to be a process.
But if he really feels like this woman is going to be in your children's lives,
then you definitely should meet her.
And your kids are at some point going to have to meet her.
And they also need to get approval from you so they don't feel awkward.
You don't want them to come home and not want to tell you what happened at
daddy's house or anything like that.
No, definitely, definitely.
No, all right.
So here's a little twist to it, right?
He told me about it last night, and I cried like a baby.
I don't know why I just cried hard.
Which is fine.
But I've been talking to somebody on the low.
Oh, Lord.
I've been talking to somebody, too.
But I didn't do anything with this person out of respect for him
because we was messing.
You know what I'm saying?
Uh-huh.
So now I'm just like, hmm, so now that you told me that,
is it okay for me to be like, well,
I might have a little somebody on the side
or am I going to look like, you know how it's different for women?
They be like, oh, you just jump right into a relationship,
but it's cool for the guys.
Girl, don't even worry about that.
If somebody that you've been seeing that makes you happy
continue to see that person,
I wouldn't introduce them to your kids
until you feel like that's somebody you're going to be with.
But y'all go out and have fun.
Yeah, I don't want to do all that right now,
but I just wanted to air it out.
This girl don't look like the loser here.
Girl, don't even worry about what you look like.
But do remember, this is not somebody you want to be with anyway.
Exactly, exactly.
I do love him, though.
I got love from him.
I hope he hears this, though.
And I'm glad that you finally, this has happened because sometimes you need that to happen
so you can go on and live your life and be happy in a relationship
instead of holding on to something old that's actually blocking you from your blessing.
Yes. Thank you.
So now you wide open, girl. So go out there and have fun.
Thank you kindly. Have a good one, honey.
You too.
All right. Ask Yee. 805-851051.
If you need relationship advice, you can hit Yee up.
Now you got rumors on the way?
Yes.
What happened with Azealia Banks?
Who is she beefing with now?
We'll tell you how all of this started.
All right.
We'll get into that when we come back.
Keep it locked.
It's The Breakfast Club.
It's DJ, MV, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha God.
We are The Breakfast Club.
Let's get to these rumors.
Let's talk Drake and LeBron.
This is The Rumor Report
with Angela Yee.
On The Breakfast Club.
Well, if you guys
watch The Shop on HBO,
you can check it out this Friday.
And LeBron has posted a clip from
this upcoming episode. He said
we heard y'all wanted more of that talk, so we
hop right back in the seat.
Another one coming in the shop this Friday
featuring Drake and myself.
This is going to be fun.
Now, what they're discussing in the clip is
how do you say goodbye to your careers?
I think maybe one of my biggest concerns in my career
is just to figure out how to exit gracefully.
I've watched people overstay their welcome,
and I just don't ever want to be that guy
that's addicted to the feeling of victory. What helps with the gracefully bowing out is having
people around you that was there from day one. You can't have motherfuckers around you that don't
keep it honest with you and keep it real with you. You need somebody to tell you. You gotta have
someone to tell you like, yo, either step the lesser role or you got to tank.
The shop show is cool as long as you know you are listening to rich people talk about their experiences and their lives.
It's an inside look at what they got going on.
So it's not like the barbershop that y'all go to?
No, not at all.
No red wine in my barbershop.
You know what I'm saying?
And I think the show would be dope if it was LeBron, Maverick, a celebrity, and then just some regular everyday people.
But, I mean, it's good to get an inside peek at their lives.
I think it's dope regardless.
I just think it's crazy for LeBron to sit there and say,
you got to have people around you that tell you the truth
while he's getting a haircut, okay?
And that hairline is sitting there.
You know what I'm saying?
He got a little hairline there.
And you go to the barbershop and you get haircuts.
He get a baldy, though.
I get a baldy.
I ain't in there fronting.
I ain't in there trying to hold on to something that ain't there no more.
How you going to sit there and have a conversation about when to let go
and when to walk away, but you still there with that struggling hairline?
So you want him to retire it?
Yes.
Of course, let it go.
Go bald.
Can I have a question about baldies?
How come you can't do it yourself?
I mean, I can, but the whole experience of going to the barbershop is fun.
I like going to the barbershop.
I always thought it was weird.
I'm like, if you have a baldy, isn't it easy to just cut it?
Some people miss spots.
You ever see somebody with a baldy and they miss something in the back because they can't really see the back?
I have seen the patch.
I like going to the barbershop.
Salute to my barber tie.
Drop on a Clues barber tie.
So it's really just a social thing.
It is a social place.
All right, now let's talk about Donald Trump and Kanye West.
Now, Donald Trump is talking about his upcoming luncheon with Kanye.
He said he's been a terrific guy.
You know, he loves what we're doing for African-American jobs.
He said Kanye is a smart guy and appreciates all the hard work the current administration has done.
He also said that Kanye is bringing Jim Brown to lunch as well.
And Trump calls Jim Brown someone who also gets it.
Well, Jim Brown has had that program that he's been trying to push for the longest.
What's that thing called? American, I think it's called. Yeah, it's really... I'm not sure of the name of it. Well, Jim Brown has had that program that he's been trying to push for the longest. What's that thing called?
American, I think it's called.
Yeah, it's really...
I'm not sure of the name of it.
I don't know if it's working out.
Yeah, because no president will sit with him about it.
Now, he's also expressed...
A lot of people have been expressing concern about Kanye sitting down with Trump.
One person was Lana Del Rey.
She posted,
Trump becoming our president was a loss for the country,
but your support of him is a loss for the culture.
I can only assume you relate to his personality on some level,
delusions of grandeur, extreme issues with narcissism,
none of which would be a talking point
if we weren't speaking about the man leading our country.
If you think it's all right to support someone
who believes it's okay to grab a woman by the vagina
just because he's famous,
then you need an intervention as much as he does.
All right, well, the person who jumped in was Azealia Banks.
I guess Azealia is supposed to be going to meet with Kanye at some point as well.
And she said, to me, this just looks like the typical white women taking using a weakened
target to pretend to be an ally, especially because you know that a white woman versus
a black male will result in an immediate victory for the white women due to societal circumstances.
You wouldn't dare challenge a black woman on her opinion because you don't have that much of a
social prejudice in place between.
As soon as you hit me with a word like societal, I'm tapping out.
Now, Azealia Banks also said this
about Lana Del Rey. Tell me that I
call you out for your selective outrage
and your first instinct is to want to fight me.
You mean to tell me because this man
who has never assaulted a woman in his
life, raped a woman in his life, none of that,
has on a hat, and you decide,
that's when you decide to use your voice.
You, a privileged white woman,
have no business opening your mouth
to a black man from Chicago
telling him what he should and shouldn't believe in.
Now, Lana Del Rey said,
you know the ad, he'd pull up anytime, say it to my face,
but if I were you, I wouldn't.
I won't not F you the F up, period.
And then she said, Banks, you could have been the greatest
female rapper alive, but you blew it. Don't take it out
on the only person who had your back.
What are they fighting about again?
I'm lost. I don't know. But I do know this, right?
When's Kanye's trip to the White House?
This week sometime. I was thinking about this, right?
Timing and the messenger is important.
And I'm not saying this could happen. I'm just saying
Kanye may get something done because
clearly the Kardashians have Trump's ear.
And timing is important because it's an election year. So Trump may do something, you know, for the black community just as a stunt.
OK. All right. Well, here's what else Azealia Banks had to say about Lana Del Rey.
All you got to do, you know, you've been running around here like you got all that Botox in your face, got your nose done.
You got a 24 year old face and a six year old body, honey. Look at all the sunspots on your arms. Look at
them flabby patty arms, sis. You got
bigger problems to worry about than Kanye West
and his hats. Kanye West is crazy.
That's fine, but he's our crazy.
That's black people's problem. Mind your
ass, sis. I might be into this conversation
if I knew who Lana Del Rey was. Lana. Who is
Lana Del Rey? Lana. She's a singer. Oh, I have
no idea. She poppin'? The only thing is
that Azealia Banks was upset about Wild N' Out
and she said they called her ugly
and now she's talking about
somebody else's looks
at the same time.
Now she also said,
let's talk about arm workouts.
For example,
this is an example
of an aging white woman
who got work done on her face
and none done on her body
where she needed it most.
Let's walk her through
some upper arm workout
and then she goes on
to talk about waist trainers
and flat tummy lollipops
and chicken patties.
What are they arguing about again?
Kanye. And then
Azalea said, step
two, pick up the two D's on the floor
and raise them up by your ears. Hold them in your
clenched fist with your elbows facing the floor.
Turn your head to the side, open your mouth, and
agitate the penis with the tip
of one in your mouth and the tip of the other in your
ear. When did all this happen? Yesterday.
Why do you know all of this?
That's her job.
I'm reporting for you guys to update you in case you don't know.
I can't handle more about that.
You want to hear something good?
Meek Mill is giving back in Philly.
He's going to be fixing up a basketball court in Philadelphia.
Now he's going to renovate that court that's at East Fairmount Park in North Philly,
and he chose that park because that's where he grew up.
So he said when kids go there, they deserve the ball in the best conditions possible.
So I'm glad they'll have that opportunity now.
He did that with Roc Nation and Puma also.
Don't be surprised if Donald Trump tells HUD to cut a check to Jim Brown's American organization.
We need more than just one little gesture.
Just as a stunt because it's an election year.
There's so many things.
Timing is everything. Timing is everything. One little gesture. Just as a stunt because it's an election year. There's so many things.
Timing is everything.
Timing is everything.
So don't be surprised if Kanye going there with that hat tomorrow with Jim Brown and Donald Trump does something for the black community.
Don't get me wrong.
It's a stunt.
There's a reason why I accepted that meeting.
It's all smoke and mirrors.
But timing is everything during an election year.
Because we have to remember there are no permanent friends or enemies in business.
And America is indeed a business.
All right.
All right.
Well, I'm Angela Yee. And that is your Rumor Report. There's a lot more, Shaliman,
if you want to go check out Lana Del Rey and Azalea
Banks, don't add it. I don't even know what that is. Alright. I ain't got time for that.
A revolt, we'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, the
People's Choice Mix is up next. Get your request in
now. Starting your own? I planted the flag. This is mine. I own this. It's surprisingly easy.
