Speaker 1: right now, Runolf applause, shout to angela Ye all over
Speaker 1: the internet. Yesterday, angela Ye did an interview with August
Speaker 1: out seeing in my birthday brother. Of course his birthday
Speaker 1: September third. We haven't seen August in a while, so
Speaker 1: that she u. They spoke about where he's been, what
Speaker 1: he's been up to, his music, everything that's going on
Speaker 1: with his life, his past relationships. I don't want to
Speaker 1: give too much away because we're gonna play it this morning,
Speaker 1: but I thought the interview was dope. You did a
Speaker 1: good job, man, you did a great job. Thanks Simbie, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, just thank you. His album just came out
Speaker 1: on Friday, twenty seven songs, the product three State of Emergency,
Speaker 1: and he also has a documentary series of five part
Speaker 1: series on YouTube, and he wanted to really get a
Speaker 1: lot of things, like you know, just out of the
Speaker 1: way and clear the space for him to be able
Speaker 1: to move forward. And the one thing people picked up
Speaker 1: that was everything everywhere was his relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith.
Speaker 1: So correct, we'll talk more about that later. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you some other things that happened, but shout out to
Speaker 1: August Houseina. You know, I hosted his first ever album
Speaker 1: release party. Yeah, you put me on the August You
Speaker 1: actually put me on the August House, you know. And
Speaker 1: ever since then, I've been a fan and he's been
Speaker 1: a good a good, good, positive mind. I check on
Speaker 1: him frequently just to see no music, just to say
Speaker 1: how you doing, brother, praying for you, making sure you're good,
Speaker 1: and he does the same. How you, how's the wife,
Speaker 1: how's the family. We've had just long conversations, just talking
Speaker 1: about everything, and he's just he's a really good dude.
Speaker 1: So I'm excited about this interview all that we're gonna
Speaker 1: get on the next hour. And I hope y'all all
Speaker 1: listened to the whole thing, because I know there's that
Speaker 1: one sensational part that's been everywhere, but there's a whole
Speaker 1: lot more to that interview. And if you understand, like
Speaker 1: with August, he just wants to be able to not
Speaker 1: be scared, to live his life the way that he
Speaker 1: wants to live it. And I think that is the
Speaker 1: right thing to do, if that's what you're feel in
Speaker 1: your heart, and to love somebody unconditionally, if that's what
Speaker 1: you do, you know, that's what you do with the
Speaker 1: blessing of that person's husband. Real, real weird. But hey,
Speaker 1: I don't knock anybody's relationship. That's say you wouldn't get
Speaker 1: care of your blessing to date, Maxwell, I don't know
Speaker 1: what you never know. I mean, maybe Jada gave her
Speaker 1: blessing for will for somebody else. Like, whatever works in
Speaker 1: somebody's relationship. There's no perfect relationship, there's no set standard.
Speaker 1: Whatever works for them works for them. What works for
Speaker 1: them doesn't work for me. That's how I look at it.
Speaker 1: All right, whatever works for them, it's not gonna work
Speaker 1: for me. Nope. There's a new series, right, it's called
Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty five Days. Have you seen it?
Speaker 1: It's like what's the what's the sex book that everybody
Speaker 1: was watching reading a couple of years ago? Fifty It's
Speaker 1: like fifty shades a grade but maybe a little worse, right,
Speaker 1: And I fell asleep, and then I'm watching Get and
Speaker 1: she's watching the movie and it's almost like a soft porn, right,
Speaker 1: and so on. I think it's on Netflix, and I
Speaker 1: kind of got a little hot and balled. I was like, Hey,
Speaker 1: why are you watching this by yourself like it made
Speaker 1: me feel aleep. I know you asleep. I know. I
Speaker 1: turned over and knocked off real fast. Let her know
Speaker 1: who the who the man in the house was. She
Speaker 1: could watch what she wants to watch, but just no,
Speaker 1: and an't even giving time. It's a slang over there,
Speaker 1: so I know she probably was like, let me just
Speaker 1: be real loud so we can get this over so
Speaker 1: you can get back to my show. You know what
Speaker 1: I started watching that. It had subtitles right, yes, yes, yes,

Speaker 1: Let me look that up right now, what do you
Speaker 1: looking for a job? Yea, all right now, Joe Biden
Speaker 1: is talking about his own right now, his rallies and
Speaker 1: is he doing any rallies because you know, he's running
Speaker 1: for president and here is the reason why he feels like,
Speaker 1: you know, Donald Trump's been doing these rallies and it's
Speaker 1: been pretty dangerous. People from his own team are now
Speaker 1: being diagnosed with coronavirus. So here's what Joe Biden has
Speaker 1: to say. I'm going to follow the docs orders, not
Speaker 1: just for me, but for the country. And that means
Speaker 1: that I am not going to be hony rallies. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know that seems like an important first step. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I won't even wear a face mask. Yeah. I mean
Speaker 1: it's like I said, I don't explain. I don't understand
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I don't understand what he does. I don't
Speaker 1: understand how he gets to wait with I don't understand
Speaker 1: why more people are not mad at him or hate him,
Speaker 1: or the fact that dislikes what he does. It just
Speaker 1: seems like people still cheer for him, still carry around
Speaker 1: Trump flags, and still say what they say. The other day,
Speaker 1: White poal, I don't understand. I really don't you get
Speaker 1: a nice retweet? All right. And in addition to that,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden talked about whether or not he has any
Speaker 1: cognitive issues. Here's what he had to say. I'm sixty five.
Speaker 1: I don't have word recollection that I used to have.
Speaker 1: I forget my train of thought from time to time.
Speaker 1: You got twelve years on me, sir. Have you been
Speaker 1: tested some degree of cognitive decline? I've been testing on,
Speaker 1: constantly testing. Look all you. All I gotta do is
Speaker 1: watch me, and I can hardly wait to compare my
Speaker 1: cognitive capability to the cognitive cape building of the man
Speaker 1: I'm running my hand. Yeah. If he can't say nothing nice,
Speaker 1: my mamma said it, don't say nothing at all. So yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, well that is your front page news. I'm
Speaker 1: just like, well, everything we say, you can't compare it
Speaker 1: to Donald Trump. We have to have our own answers.

Speaker 1: shootings last week alone, and we're hitting in innocent bystanders.
Speaker 1: Three year old got shot yesterday and eleven year old
Speaker 1: got shot this morning. We can't be talking about defunding
Speaker 1: the police and then having all these protests going on
Speaker 1: and then give them a reason not to do it
Speaker 1: based on the actions that we're having in New York City.
Speaker 1: And I remember a couple of weeks ago, some I'm
Speaker 1: calling from Toronto and saying that they're having the same
Speaker 1: actions out there, and I have family in Toronto and people,
Speaker 1: we as a culture have to do better in in
Speaker 1: in in helping our own cause we can't shoot ourselves
Speaker 1: in the foot by protesting one way and then doing
Speaker 1: an opposite behavior on the other side, and then having
Speaker 1: people have reasons to to to to to to go
Speaker 1: against what we're what we're protesting about. So I'm imploring
Speaker 1: everybody in New York City, in Chicago, in p Dot
Speaker 1: Yo to chill out, man, you know, I mean, we
Speaker 1: have a great explode that we're paying for. I mean,
Speaker 1: that was not the time for this. It was never
Speaker 1: the time, but it's never the time. But right now
Speaker 1: we're definitely not the time. We don't want to give
Speaker 1: anybody any more fuel to be, you know, any more
Speaker 1: opposition to what we're doing right now. And I'm really
Speaker 1: employing everybody in Brooklyn or Bronze and Queens all over
Speaker 1: the country just cut it out right now because we
Speaker 1: need as much help as possible. We don't need to
Speaker 1: be shooting ourselves in the foot. So um, thank you guys,
Speaker 1: and you guys have a good fourth of July weekend
Speaker 1: and shout out to Charlomage and I hope he had
Speaker 1: a good birthday. Yeah. Absolutely, we need to stop. Stop
Speaker 1: all the guns shooting, stop all the shootings, to stabbings,
Speaker 1: the killers. We need to stop. Man already, there's been
Speaker 1: twelve victims reported in eighty three shootings over nine days
Speaker 1: in New York City. Absolutely, that is so damn crazy.
Speaker 1: Get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eighty five,
Speaker 1: one on five one. Now we got rumors on the way. Yes,
Speaker 1: and let's talk about the NBA playing at Disney World.
Speaker 1: How much is that going to cost? We'll give you
Speaker 1: some indication. All right, we'll get into that next keeping
Speaker 1: lock this to Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast clubs
Speaker 1: the team. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee
Speaker 1: on the Breakfast Club. Yes, so, how much is it
Speaker 1: going to cost for the NBA to play at Disney World. Well,
Speaker 1: what they are saying is it's going to cost the
Speaker 1: league one hundred and fifty million dollars or as it
Speaker 1: breaks down, one point five million dollars per day for
Speaker 1: twenty two teams to play eight regular season games than
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Yeah, well, they'll definitely make that back. They
Speaker 1: want to get back to the games. They're trying to
Speaker 1: be as safe as possible, so a big investment will
Speaker 1: bring back an even greater return, I'm sure. Right. They
Speaker 1: also can't sell tickets, so they're not going to get
Speaker 1: any money from that, right, So they said, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously there's no fans. We're not selling tickets. But it
Speaker 1: is their duty, they said, to find a way that
Speaker 1: we can still provide the sport of basketball to our
Speaker 1: fans and to the broader community. This is how we're
Speaker 1: going to do it. This is not a sustainable model
Speaker 1: over the long term, that's for sure, at least based
Speaker 1: on the way we've conducted our sport historically. One hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty million is a lot of money, but that's
Speaker 1: the cost to do business during a pandemic. Yep, all right.
Speaker 1: Taman Hall is being accused of being insensitive, and that's
Speaker 1: because at least eighteen staffers have been laid off so
Speaker 1: earlier this year. You know, she has They signed on
Speaker 1: Candy Carter as their new executive producer and she previously
Speaker 1: served as executive producer at the View, and she bought
Speaker 1: on several new production staffers who worked on the oprah
Speaker 1: winfree show. But they said, now you know, as people are,
Speaker 1: they're just not quote fire. They just did not renew
Speaker 1: certain people's contracts. I've seen people mad at but if
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, a lot of people are getting furloughed
Speaker 1: and a lot of people getting let go. So I
Speaker 1: didn't understand the problem or the situation. I mean, people
Speaker 1: are not working, you know, So I understand there's been
Speaker 1: so many job cut so many different places. I was confused.
Speaker 1: I was lost, right well, they responded from Tamman Hall Show.
Speaker 1: They said, the story is entirely inaccurate. There were no
Speaker 1: layoffs or firings. Rather, the show is making behind the
Speaker 1: scenes changes and chose not to renew some staff. We
Speaker 1: appreciate everyone's contributions to our first season. Change is not
Speaker 1: uncommon for a show. Between seasons. It remained a top
Speaker 1: priority to ensure our entire creative team remains employed during
Speaker 1: the season in the midst of the pandemic. Okay, it
Speaker 1: made some changes, all right. Now. HBO has announced that
Speaker 1: Curb Your Enthusiasm is returning for a season eleven. They said,
Speaker 1: Larry David is already busy writing in anticipation of another
Speaker 1: round and they're saying there will be some probably COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen references in the new season. I know you probably
Speaker 1: don't watch Curb Your Enthusiasm. I was gonna say, I
Speaker 1: definitely don't watch Kurb your Enthusiasm. I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people do. I know it's a comedy television series.
Speaker 1: I just never got into it. Maybe I'll get into
Speaker 1: it now if we're still you know, under quarantine when
Speaker 1: they released episodes, but I just never seen one. Hilarious,
Speaker 1: you know, that's my show, all right? Now to Mia,
Speaker 1: it appears that she is contradicting what Fab had to
Speaker 1: say about the two versions of So Into You. If
Speaker 1: you guys recall, here's what Fab had to say to
Speaker 1: me is who the original song came from. Tama was
Speaker 1: getting surgery throat at the time when we did the
Speaker 1: video and all that. No, no, when we did the song. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we got a Shaunty to do the song because
Speaker 1: she was getting and then while when we did the
Speaker 1: video she was back. She was back, she got back
Speaker 1: together and Scorion, so we couldn't get a schedule. Wise,
Speaker 1: we couldn't get the video. So we came back with
Speaker 1: Tama and she relay the vocals after her throat so well.
Speaker 1: Tamia posted twenty five years, eight albums, zero throat surgeries.
Speaker 1: So I guess that's her response, which will make it
Speaker 1: seem like what fab is saying is incorrect. Yeah, this this,
Speaker 1: you know, we always say this three sides to every story.
Speaker 1: It's her side, his side, and then the truth. I
Speaker 1: wonder what it is actually, I don't even care. I mean,
Speaker 1: this song came out amazing regardless her version was dope
Speaker 1: and a Shanty's version was dope. It doesn't even matter
Speaker 1: to me anymore. I mean, that was what fifteen years ago,
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. M all right, and you can see
Speaker 1: this next area on bennews dot com. That's bi nnews
Speaker 1: dot com. That's a new network that was launched by
Speaker 1: iHeart Black Information Network and Terry Crews. People are upset
Speaker 1: because he just can't get it right. He needs to
Speaker 1: just stop tweeting. He tweeted out, if you are a
Speaker 1: child of God, you are my brother and sister. I
Speaker 1: have family of every race creating ideology. We must ensure
Speaker 1: hashtag black lives matter doesn't morph into hashtag black lives better.
Speaker 1: Where's Terry Crewise his wife? Like it has to get
Speaker 1: to a point of Whyfe's got to be like, baby,
Speaker 1: just just just give me the phone, like like, where's
Speaker 1: this significant other? Where's the person in his life? To saying, Yo,
Speaker 1: you're walling right now, where's that person? Don't we all
Speaker 1: have that person in their life? And that for me?
Speaker 1: That's gear, I mean, where's that person for? He just
Speaker 1: wants people to take into account that we are human
Speaker 1: beings also, and since people act like black lives don't matter,
Speaker 1: like the police, like other people from different communities, just
Speaker 1: that we matter. Our lives just matter. It's not saying
Speaker 1: it's better. Just let us have those fundamental rights that
Speaker 1: we should have as human beings. Just let people know, yes,
Speaker 1: our lives do matter. It has nothing to do with
Speaker 1: any us being better than anybody. Just stop killing on
Speaker 1: our black people, Stop pulling the cops when no one's
Speaker 1: committing a crime, Stop assuming that black people don't don't
Speaker 1: belong in certain spaces, Stop trying to make sure we
Speaker 1: can't get real estate. Like black lives do matter. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I don't understand that because I am a hundred
Speaker 1: percent sure that being a black man growing up, I'm
Speaker 1: sure he was faced with some of the things that
Speaker 1: we've been talking about, whether it's being pulled over, whether
Speaker 1: it's being search and stop, whether it's being you know,
Speaker 1: not given the same opportunities as a white person, and
Speaker 1: nobody's seeing black lives are better. We're saying black lives matter,
Speaker 1: like you said, And I really don't understand what he
Speaker 1: doesn't get or why he's standing against that. I really
Speaker 1: don't like. It doesn't make any sense to me. All Right,
Speaker 1: we're gonna play a new song right now too, by
Speaker 1: the way, Kanye West and Travis Scott wash Us in
Speaker 1: the Blood, and then we will discuss later on in
Speaker 1: the show. But make sure y'all check this out. This
Speaker 1: is a brand new song that they just put out yesterday.
Speaker 1: Kanye West, Travis Scott, wash Us in the Blood, Kanye Morning,
Speaker 1: everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the guy we
Speaker 1: all to Breakfast Club's getting some front page news where
Speaker 1: we're starting you, Well, let's start with what's happening with coronavirus.
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to say that I was planning
Speaker 1: to go away, but now I'm not going on my
Speaker 1: trip anymore. I see did you see them? I tag
Speaker 1: you in them? I already saw it. Just make sure.
Speaker 1: But I've seen a few people are posting about their
Speaker 1: trips going to Jamaica because that was the plan. But
Speaker 1: the real reason I'm not going is because I know
Speaker 1: right now with people are going there, their cases are
Speaker 1: going up. And so I don't want to disrespect Jamaica
Speaker 1: because they shouldn't want us there. They should not want
Speaker 1: us there because they did a great job of containing everything,
Speaker 1: and here in the United States, we haven't done such
Speaker 1: a great job, as you can see, and they're trying
Speaker 1: to scale back openings and put a pause on things
Speaker 1: that Actually Donald Trump canceled a rally in Alabama because
Speaker 1: of coronavirus concerns. So that's a responsible thing to do. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know, he had he had his first rally in
Speaker 1: three months, and that was in Tulsa, and that resulted
Speaker 1: in eight campaign staffers and two Secret Service agents testing
Speaker 1: positive for coronavirus and the rest of his campaign staff
Speaker 1: at the rally ended up in quarantine. Yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 1: I mean, we got to be more careful and vacation
Speaker 1: and doing everything that people are doing right now is
Speaker 1: is gonna affect us in a negative way. And I
Speaker 1: know everybody wants to get back to the clubs and
Speaker 1: get back to party and get back to the casinos.
Speaker 1: But we just got to be very, very careful. And
Speaker 1: if we do go out, you gotta wear a mask.
Speaker 1: And I know people are I've been looking at clubs
Speaker 1: and places and nobody got their mass school and wear
Speaker 1: a mask. Listen, people are having parties for the fourth
Speaker 1: of July, okay. And I really did believe that when
Speaker 1: I first planned this ship that by the time we
Speaker 1: got to hear right now that things would be much better.
Speaker 1: Things were declining. Things we're starting to safely hopefully open up,
Speaker 1: and as you can see, that hasn't happened now. The
Speaker 1: mayor and Miami Day has said that he will sign
Speaker 1: an order closing restaurants nightly at midnight, and so anybody
Speaker 1: that is at a nightclub converting their space into a
Speaker 1: nightclub after twelve o'clock or not complying with this order,
Speaker 1: they said that would be a misdemeanor and laters can
Speaker 1: be fined and spend up to one hundred eighty days
Speaker 1: in jail. In Colorado, the governor has ordered that bars
Speaker 1: and nightclubs have to close. In Delaware, they're closing bars
Speaker 1: at the beaches. That's due to an increase in cases
Speaker 1: and fourteen people in Westchester County and New York test
Speaker 1: a positive after attending a high school graduation in another state,
Speaker 1: the tri state area New York, New Jersey, Connecticut. They
Speaker 1: have added eight additional states to a traveler quarantine list.
Speaker 1: So that means if you are traveling to New York,
Speaker 1: New Jersey, or Connecticut from any of these places, they
Speaker 1: are going to require the to quarantine for two weeks.
Speaker 1: And those places include Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Speaker 1: North Carolina, Nevada, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The sad thing about it is telling people a quarantine
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're gonna do it. You know, they get
Speaker 1: back from one of these places and they'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I feel fine, They're gonna be out and about. So
Speaker 1: I mean it's just going to keep continuing to spread
Speaker 1: and spread and spread. Yeah, So you know it is
Speaker 1: important that we whatever it is that you do right now,
Speaker 1: do it as safely as possible. Where your mask when
Speaker 1: you're outside. I know, it is a holiday weekend and everything,
Speaker 1: so people want to be out and about. But you
Speaker 1: know the reason why we're in this situation now, what
Speaker 1: place is closing back down is because people aren't being safe.
Speaker 1: So it is important that we are as responsible as possible. Now,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has said, say one thing too before you
Speaker 1: go people, you know, the mask is not a chinch strap.
Speaker 1: I just want people to know that, Like just has
Speaker 1: to say, you got a mask on it. It's just
Speaker 1: on the bottom of your mouth. It's not a chinch strap,
Speaker 1: like it has to cover your whole face. And I
Speaker 1: know it's awkward, and I know it's uncomfortable, but how
Speaker 1: many times have you been out and about and you've
Speaker 1: seen somebody with a mask on and it just covers
Speaker 1: their chin. Like, you gotta cover the face, you gotta
Speaker 1: cover the mouth, you gotta cover the nose, and if
Speaker 1: you can somehow wear some type of glasses that cover
Speaker 1: the eyes as well if you're out and about, But
Speaker 1: you gotta be safe. I ain't gonna lie. The other day,
Speaker 1: I went for a walk. I walked like a couple
Speaker 1: of miles and it was ninety three degrees outside and
Speaker 1: I couldn't Yeah, so every time there was no one around,
Speaker 1: I would pull my mask down if I was walking
Speaker 1: on the street and no one was on the block,
Speaker 1: But then as soon as I walk past the people,
Speaker 1: I put it right back on. But I get it.
Speaker 1: It is hard. Yeah, all right. Now, Joe Biden is
Speaker 1: saying that he's not going to be doing any rallies
Speaker 1: and that is because a coronavirus. Here's what he had
Speaker 1: to say. I'm going to follow the docs orders, not
Speaker 1: just for me, but for the country, and that means
Speaker 1: that I Am not going to be holy rallies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I think that makes sense. I think that's
Speaker 1: for the best. I mean, he can do them online,
Speaker 1: do some type of rally, insta rally or social media
Speaker 1: rally or you know, whatever it may be. But to
Speaker 1: put people together like that, it's it's just a danger
Speaker 1: makes no sense, right, And you can do a virtual rally,
Speaker 1: by the way, correct, So those are things that you
Speaker 1: can do now. I Heeartmedia has launched a Black Information
Speaker 1: Network on radio and digital channel, so you can get
Speaker 1: that on the app. You can get the via your
Speaker 1: smart speakers, your smart TV, and other connected platforms. And
Speaker 1: it's going to be twenty four to seven programming that
Speaker 1: is all dedicated to news coverage from a black perspective,
Speaker 1: and that's something that is very much needed right now. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: And then not only that, they're going to be doing
Speaker 1: programming that that relates style community. I know we always
Speaker 1: talk about, you know, growing up, there's certain things that
Speaker 1: we didn't know we didn't have in our community, that
Speaker 1: we didn't necessarily know how to invest or need help
Speaker 1: with entrepreneurship or mental health or real estate or whatever
Speaker 1: it may be, life insurance. They're going to be programs
Speaker 1: like that that that help and teach and explain and
Speaker 1: break things down. So I'm excited about that. And speaking
Speaker 1: of real estate, I have noticed, and I was also
Speaker 1: just reading an article and just for my own personal experience,
Speaker 1: that people are really trying to buy homes right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then but there's the shortest of things on the market.
Speaker 1: And I'll say, but they're not like in Brooklyn, the
Speaker 1: prices are skyrocketing. I feel like it's kind of high. Still,
Speaker 1: it depends on what what what price range you're looking at.
Speaker 1: But the reason people are buying homes is just interest
Speaker 1: rates at the old time low, so you can, you know,
Speaker 1: get a house with a you know, two percent interest
Speaker 1: rate or a three percent interest rate with a two
Speaker 1: in front of and our two percent but with a
Speaker 1: two in front of it. But you can find those
Speaker 1: deals and people are like, you know what, this is
Speaker 1: my opportunity. Also refinancing, people are getting out of those
Speaker 1: high interest rate loans that they have and they lower
Speaker 1: their rates and payments a month, which is a small
Speaker 1: thing to do right now if you can. But what
Speaker 1: I have noticed is that a lot of people haven't
Speaker 1: been able to see things in person until recently. So
Speaker 1: it kind of was like a rush to go and
Speaker 1: look at properties and you know, just people bidding on
Speaker 1: different things. People have been looking online at things that
Speaker 1: are for sale, at homes and properties for sale, and
Speaker 1: now they have a chance to see it in person.
Speaker 1: And there's many people that have been looking at those
Speaker 1: properties before they could have a chance to go in
Speaker 1: person and see them. So and a lot of people
Speaker 1: have maybe changed their mind and delayed, you know, selling
Speaker 1: at this point in time. So they might have planned
Speaker 1: to do something and they're like, all right, I'm just
Speaker 1: wait it out and see what happens. So it's just
Speaker 1: an interesting time in real estate. Yeah, you can't you know,
Speaker 1: it's very scary, even for myself. You know, I'm actually
Speaker 1: moving so I have to sell my house. But you know,
Speaker 1: it's scary because you don't know who's coming in your house.
Speaker 1: You don't know, you know, if they've been quarantining, if
Speaker 1: they've in away from people. But you know, people have
Speaker 1: to come in your house, look at your house to
Speaker 1: see if they want to buy it. So it's very scary,
Speaker 1: difficult times. All right, Well that is your FROMT Page News.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, miss Yee. Now when we come back,
Speaker 1: ye got a chance to sit down with August Alsina.
Speaker 1: A lot to talk about. There's been clips all over
Speaker 1: the internet yesterday, but it was a full interview. They
Speaker 1: talk about so many different things, and let's get that
Speaker 1: all when we come back, all right, August Alsina the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. When we come back the morning, the breakfast
Speaker 1: Club ej Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are
Speaker 1: the breakfast Club. Now we're still kicking with August Alcina.
Speaker 1: Ye got a chance to sit down with him and
Speaker 1: kick it with him one on one. Let's get into it, hey, August, Hie,
Speaker 1: and I know it's weird, like I just feel like
Speaker 1: I've watched you grow up from when you first, you know,
Speaker 1: came out as an artist and to see where you
Speaker 1: are today. Your album just came out as we're filming
Speaker 1: this yesterday, Yes, and there's twenty seven songs, twenty seven Yeah,
Speaker 1: State of Emerge and see Yes Part three. So let's
Speaker 1: get into it, because we were discussing how, first of all,
Speaker 1: it's been a while since you've been doing interviews, and
Speaker 1: you even said you're like a little nervous. I am.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to I'm sure it's evident. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: calm myself down a little bit. It's part of the process.
Speaker 1: And you put out the documentary series also, and it's
Speaker 1: a five part docu series, and I feel like we
Speaker 1: really got to learn so much about you. I know,
Speaker 1: we know some things about you which really connects people
Speaker 1: to your music, just because there's some common things that
Speaker 1: sometimes we look at celebrities and celebrities seem so perfect.
Speaker 1: But you've I think, always been really honest about things
Speaker 1: you've been going through in your life. And this dug
Speaker 1: even deeper into it. So I do want to talk
Speaker 1: about that. How long were you filming that I started
Speaker 1: I think way back in twenty fifteen, So for it
Speaker 1: to finally come together, it's really been a long time coming,
Speaker 1: and you know, part of it was, you know, due
Speaker 1: to time, but another part of it was also I
Speaker 1: felt like I was still in the process and kind
Speaker 1: of still in the oven bacon and still trying to
Speaker 1: give birth to it, and you know, to see it
Speaker 1: finally come together, it's it's beautiful. But the other side
Speaker 1: of it was that I was nervous, you know, to
Speaker 1: open myself up like that in that kind of a way.
Speaker 1: The purpose for me was to hopefully be a voice
Speaker 1: to people in the world by exposing myself through the
Speaker 1: art and hopefully allowing people to see themselves through it
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I feel like watching because I watched
Speaker 1: the docuseries before I listened to the album, and that
Speaker 1: helped because it was like I was able to connect
Speaker 1: your real life experiences to the music. So when you
Speaker 1: listen to a song, I'm like, okay, he talked about
Speaker 1: this and the documentary, because it really is what you've
Speaker 1: been going through. Yeah, even family, like family is clearly
Speaker 1: so important to you, and I feel like we knew
Speaker 1: that and your mother, Yeah, I know that's so complicated
Speaker 1: to even now. But you know what, though, I really
Speaker 1: want to honor my mother the way my mother has
Speaker 1: embraced me and supported me through this journey. You know,
Speaker 1: she really gave me a blessing to do whatever and
Speaker 1: speak my truth and really take an accountability for a
Speaker 1: lot of the trauma that my brothers and my family
Speaker 1: we've we've encountered. You know, none of these things make
Speaker 1: my parents bad people. What I have now come to
Speaker 1: realize because I think I used to really be hard
Speaker 1: on my mother just because I wanted a certain type
Speaker 1: of thing from my mother, and I feel like I've
Speaker 1: been forced to grow up in this world alone. But
Speaker 1: what I realized about my mother is that there are
Speaker 1: certain things that has been deficient when it comes to
Speaker 1: may or may not have showed up for her. Like
Speaker 1: I don't know my grandfather. I don't know her father,
Speaker 1: and he's a lot. You know, my grandmother actually just
Speaker 1: passed in March. God rest her soul. I just remember
Speaker 1: always saying tough love when anything would come up, tough love.
Speaker 1: You gotta give tough love or tough love. And you know,
Speaker 1: I can only imagine what my mother's experience has been
Speaker 1: when it comes to her parents, and I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't really know my mother's story like that, right. It
Speaker 1: taught me to cut my mother some slack because I
Speaker 1: don't know her story and there's no blueprint to how
Speaker 1: to be a parent. But I'm sure she also understands
Speaker 1: you feeling the way that you did. Yeah, absolutely for
Speaker 1: so long, which is why it's so beautiful to just
Speaker 1: have a blessing. I feel like throughout my life, I
Speaker 1: don't ever actually feel like I've had my mother's support
Speaker 1: in the way that she's been supporting me throughout this journey.
Speaker 1: It's been the most beautiful experience. And my mother and
Speaker 1: I we've we've come alone way we gotta lie further
Speaker 1: to goat you know, it's been a beautiful experience. And
Speaker 1: I just and I admire her for her growth, I
Speaker 1: really do. And I think what's most important about this
Speaker 1: is that none of this is an attack on anyone.
Speaker 1: Any of the stories that I should in the documentary
Speaker 1: isn't an attack towards anybody. It simply is me sharing
Speaker 1: my story and some of my life and how painful
Speaker 1: some of that has been, to show how pain can
Speaker 1: be a gift for us. I think I used to
Speaker 1: complain a lot about the amount of massive, tremendous pain
Speaker 1: that I felt. It's been. Yeah, it's been a really
Speaker 1: rough road and a lot of times I really did
Speaker 1: believe that I would die. I truly believe that to
Speaker 1: come out on the other side, and I'm still in
Speaker 1: my process, you know, to be able to use it
Speaker 1: and show people that you can transform it. You know,
Speaker 1: that's real life alchemy. I mean, you even talk about
Speaker 1: being molested and your mom witnessing that, So was that
Speaker 1: a huge release for you to be able to say that. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: with those kinds of situations, it can be so normal
Speaker 1: to you up into a certain age, right, and then
Speaker 1: you realize, WHOA, Actually that's not normal at all. Me
Speaker 1: expressing that wasn't even about the act, right, because you
Speaker 1: can look up to a person so much and at
Speaker 1: my your person so much, and you like, I love
Speaker 1: this person, I want to protect this person. But for
Speaker 1: someone to have tampa with you in that kind of
Speaker 1: way and still be able to have like this evil
Speaker 1: energy towards you, I don't understand it, but you know,
Speaker 1: narcissism is really weird as it is. I mean, in
Speaker 1: those type of experiences they affect you greatly. You know,
Speaker 1: psychologically you might not even realize it at the time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you don't really realize it while you in that moment,
Speaker 1: but it affects you when you don't speak on certain things.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that everybody should tell the world
Speaker 1: their business and deal with and how you deal with that.
Speaker 1: Everything's not for everybody, but for me in what I
Speaker 1: felt called to do and felt led by God to
Speaker 1: do was to use my voice to help other people
Speaker 1: release whatever it is that they are feeling or whatever
Speaker 1: they're going through, because the world needs a real healing.
Speaker 1: Was there ever an apology or recognizing No, Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't even need it. You know, I forgive myself, and
Speaker 1: when I can forgive myself for anything, I didn't create
Speaker 1: the space to be able to have forgiveness for you.
Speaker 1: People are lacking love about this month? All right? We
Speaker 1: got more with august Alsina. When we come back, don't move.
Speaker 1: It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning. Even if I told you,
Speaker 1: still want to understand morning. Everybody is DJ Envy and
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club
Speaker 1: were still kicking it with August Alsina. Now you got
Speaker 1: a chance to sit down with him. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: get that back on. You have an episode on what
Speaker 1: is Love? Absolutely and one thing that people ask like,
Speaker 1: who is August linked to romantically? Because you're never very
Speaker 1: open about that. Like we've seen you, you know, out
Speaker 1: on days and we've assumed certain things. And I remember
Speaker 1: you put out this song none Yet and a lot
Speaker 1: of people were saying, Okay, you know, August is dating
Speaker 1: Jada Pinkett Smith and that was something that was circulating
Speaker 1: as a rumor and that kind of solidified it to people. So, right,
Speaker 1: what was the real situation with Jada Pinkett Smith? Because
Speaker 1: I don't know if you were pursuing her or you
Speaker 1: guys had just a close family type of relationship, and
Speaker 1: I was that for you to be able to share that.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'll say. People can have whatever ideas that
Speaker 1: they like, but what I'm not okay with is my character,
Speaker 1: you know, being in question. Contrary to what some people
Speaker 1: may believe, I'm not a troublemaker. I don't I don't
Speaker 1: like drama, and I also don't think that it's ever
Speaker 1: important for people to know what I do who I
Speaker 1: sleep with. But in this instance, it's very different because,
Speaker 1: as I said, there's so many people that are sideiring me,
Speaker 1: looking at me questionable about it. I mean, I've lost money, friendships,
Speaker 1: relationships behind it, and I think it's because people don't
Speaker 1: necessarily know the truth. But I've never done anything wrong.
Speaker 1: I love those people literally, like my family. I don't
Speaker 1: ever have I don't have a bad thing to say
Speaker 1: about them. They are beautiful people. You know, when something
Speaker 1: starts affecting my life, I don't really have a choice
Speaker 1: but to express my truth. I actually sat down with
Speaker 1: Will and had a conversation due to the transformation from
Speaker 1: their marriage to life partnership that they've spoken only several times,
Speaker 1: and it you know, not involving romanticism. He gave me
Speaker 1: his blessing and I totally gave myself to that relationship
Speaker 1: for years of my life, and I truly loved and
Speaker 1: have a ton of love for her. Um. I devoted
Speaker 1: myself to it. I gave my for self to it
Speaker 1: so much so to the point that I can die
Speaker 1: right now and be okay with knowing that I truly
Speaker 1: gave myself to somebody right and I really loved a
Speaker 1: person I experienced that I know what that that feels
Speaker 1: like and some people never could get that in this lifetime.
Speaker 1: So I know that I'm completely blessed. And this conversation
Speaker 1: is difficult because it's so much that it would be
Speaker 1: hard for people to understand. But once it starts to
Speaker 1: affect me in my livelihood, I have to speak up
Speaker 1: about my truth and stand on my tin with anything
Speaker 1: that may come along with it. Is it disappointing that
Speaker 1: she never addressed it to you, because, like you said,
Speaker 1: you lost out on opportunities. I never even can get
Speaker 1: into the thought of that, because I'm only responsible for myself, right.
Speaker 1: I just always stay silent because I never want to
Speaker 1: be the person to cause confusion because I love these people, right,
Speaker 1: and I have literally never been in love in that
Speaker 1: kind of a way so much so that being intertwined
Speaker 1: in that way. Walking away from it butchered me. Like
Speaker 1: I'm shaking right now, because it almost it almost killed me.
Speaker 1: Not almost, it did. It pushed me into being another
Speaker 1: person in my newest self. It broke me down. It
Speaker 1: was a part of me being paralyzed trying to put
Speaker 1: myself apart from it. It's probably will be the hardest
Speaker 1: thing that I've ever experienced in this lifetime. And you
Speaker 1: know it's difficult because I again, I never want to
Speaker 1: be the person to cause any confusion or step on
Speaker 1: toes right. I want to be honest, but I want
Speaker 1: to honor myself and I want to honor my authenticity.
Speaker 1: And if honoring my authenticity means you hate me, stone me,
Speaker 1: shoot me, crucify me, whatever, bury me an honest, man,
Speaker 1: I saw know what is love episodes you also talk
Speaker 1: about just what love is like a cart two cars
Speaker 1: just crashing together, and you describe after your sister passed away,
Speaker 1: just having to disentangle yourself from that relationship that definitely
Speaker 1: played a huge role, and that you know, you know
Speaker 1: it it hit. It hit different when you uh, it's
Speaker 1: a different expony. It's women. You're standing over your sister's
Speaker 1: dead body and she was just here and alive and
Speaker 1: then she's suddenly dead, right. And I remember standing over
Speaker 1: my sister and I was we've been willing. I can
Speaker 1: remember my cousin kept putting me off her saying, she gone,
Speaker 1: you gotta let her go. And little did she know.
Speaker 1: I wasn't only weeping about my sister. I was mourning myself.
Speaker 1: I was grieving myself as I knew it, because I
Speaker 1: died in that moment, who I was, everything that I
Speaker 1: thought that I was, everything I thought I knew about myself.
Speaker 1: It died, and I couldn't be that human being any longer.
Speaker 1: I saw my sister died. She never got to live
Speaker 1: her full life. She was so afraid of everything, literally everything.
Speaker 1: Get my sister car, she's scared to drive. She's never
Speaker 1: driven car because she's scared to get on in the
Speaker 1: state after my brother got killed. She was scared of everything,
Speaker 1: and she never lived her full life. And I just
Speaker 1: don't want to be that. I don't want to be
Speaker 1: that person. I want to live my life on full.
Speaker 1: I want to die empty. Whatever that means, giving myself
Speaker 1: to my three kids now, giving myself to love or
Speaker 1: a relationship, giving myself to my career, devoting myself to
Speaker 1: being a healthy person. I have to give my full
Speaker 1: self to something because that's what makes me feel alive.
Speaker 1: So it lets me know that I have life in
Speaker 1: my body. Honestly and truly, love is really all that
Speaker 1: really is. There's nothing else, And I just don't want
Speaker 1: to do anything on this earth if it doesn't involve
Speaker 1: that any longer. Before I was okay with that, before
Speaker 1: my sister left this earth, and she rocked my world
Speaker 1: because she showed me so much about what's truth. I
Speaker 1: never get it back, but what I do have with
Speaker 1: me stays with me forever. And that's the way my
Speaker 1: sister loved me. All Right, we got more with August House,
Speaker 1: and when we come back, don't move. It's to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good Morning. I'm wanting everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Gyee, Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now we're still
Speaker 1: kicking with August House. You got a chance to sit
Speaker 1: down with him and kick it with them, one on one.
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. I love that song on the
Speaker 1: album that you dedicated to your nieces. Sincerely, What did
Speaker 1: they say when they heard that? They express themselves in
Speaker 1: very different ways, right, I think that a lot of
Speaker 1: times they are afraid to like express show emotion. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's tough. So you know I know that by continuing
Speaker 1: to be in the flow of love and continuing to
Speaker 1: express love and show them that it's okay to feel.
Speaker 1: It's okay to feel anything you feel, whether good or bad.
Speaker 1: Sit with those feelings, Sit with those emotions and you know,
Speaker 1: learn how to navigate through them. I spent six to
Speaker 1: seven months in New Orleans and slip on a couch
Speaker 1: every day after my sister died, to just be there,
Speaker 1: show up for them, and be able to create a
Speaker 1: space for them to just completely fall apart and just
Speaker 1: to be present. I was already planning to move out
Speaker 1: the crib in LA and I'm like, yo, after those
Speaker 1: seven months, I'm like, yeah, I gotta get back to
Speaker 1: a later check on the house, get everything moved out.
Speaker 1: You know. At first, Dy're like nineight, now you can't
Speaker 1: you can't leave, and I'm like, yo, well we can.
Speaker 1: We can be broke together. The tune changes like okay,
Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, we'll see when you get back.
Speaker 1: And uh So I finally got to get back to
Speaker 1: my own space, and then it didn't go as planning.
Speaker 1: I thought I would be right back in New Orleans
Speaker 1: and finding a spot out there for us. As soon
Speaker 1: as I got back into my own space, my body
Speaker 1: just started to decline and it hit me like a train,
Speaker 1: you know. And I think that being a safe haven
Speaker 1: for them and their emotions. Uh And in that time,
Speaker 1: I never really dealt with my own and I thought
Speaker 1: I did right, and you're being strong for everybody. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: So it hit me all at one time, and it's
Speaker 1: as if I was experiencing the same emotions over and
Speaker 1: over and over and over again like groundhog did right,
Speaker 1: And those toxins from stress and anxiety, it released in
Speaker 1: your body and it literally started to eat at my
Speaker 1: nervous system. And before you know it, I'm looking in
Speaker 1: the mirror and I recognizing myself. I tried to get
Speaker 1: out of bed and I hit the floor, couldn't get
Speaker 1: myself back up. I'm trying to slide across the floor.
Speaker 1: I could not move yourself. I was by myself. You know.
Speaker 1: God put me in isolated for that whole process. God
Speaker 1: really sat me down. Three days straight. I slept. And
Speaker 1: this is gonna sound crazy, right, For those three days,
Speaker 1: the fire along kept going off, just randomly kept going off.
Speaker 1: Mind you. The fire department showed up, the security showed
Speaker 1: up to come turn it off, and it was still
Speaker 1: going off, and house keepers were letting the men to
Speaker 1: do all of this stuff, and it was still going off.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't I stopping. They're like, well, we don't know what
Speaker 1: why this happened. There's no smoke that shouldn't be happening.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to get up and take them down.
Speaker 1: I slept in there with those fire detectives going off
Speaker 1: for all of those days, and I really feel like
Speaker 1: that was God telling me you are on fire. Your
Speaker 1: body is on fire. I was sweating so hard that
Speaker 1: it would feel like I pissed in the bay. An
Speaker 1: unexplainable experience and a really scary one too, you know,
Speaker 1: not knowing if you gonna live. It's it's crazy because
Speaker 1: you know, I had a failing body but a peaceful mind.
Speaker 1: But one of the things that has truly kept me here,
Speaker 1: kept me planted here is the love for my nieces
Speaker 1: man and what they that they give me, they like
Speaker 1: really bring me joy. And I know your sister was
Speaker 1: at peace knowing that you were there to take care
Speaker 1: of and you know, you know, you know, And that's
Speaker 1: the thing. When she asked me what I take custody,
Speaker 1: I'm like, of course, I never thought she would die.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking she's gonna be fine. You're gonna shake back,
Speaker 1: because she she shook back before you know, the next
Speaker 1: week after that, she was going The wildest part about
Speaker 1: that situation is the happiest that I had ever seen
Speaker 1: my sister, isn't that she was laying on that table.
Speaker 1: My sister was suffering. I didn't notice at first, but
Speaker 1: she told her family. You told her family. You know
Speaker 1: that she ended up signing a do not resuscitate paper,
Speaker 1: right wow. But she told him not to tell me
Speaker 1: because you know, I would have been on until like
Speaker 1: you gotta fight, right, you know? And uh, I will
Speaker 1: admit that I felt some type of way about that
Speaker 1: at first, right her signing the paper. But you know,
Speaker 1: losing my health in the way that I did, and
Speaker 1: it making me lose myself, I get it. And I
Speaker 1: gave her that freedom to go on to your your
Speaker 1: next chapter. It also feels like you were learning about
Speaker 1: your dad, yes, while we were watching a document. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: because I don't know much about it. And it's interesting
Speaker 1: that just now some of these questions are getting answered.
Speaker 1: I've never known. But that's what I'm saying. I don't
Speaker 1: know the history of my family, and I think, how
Speaker 1: can we know ourselves? How can we even begin to
Speaker 1: know ourself if we don't know anything about where we
Speaker 1: come from the people we come from. For me, learning
Speaker 1: about my father. It taught me so much, and it's
Speaker 1: teaching me so much. I used to really be mad
Speaker 1: at my father for being an absent in my life.
Speaker 1: I was mad and angry at my father for being
Speaker 1: a drug addict. I now know going through my illness
Speaker 1: and you know, my grandmother and explaining that my grandfather
Speaker 1: suffered from illness, my father suffering from illness. It took
Speaker 1: them out, they couldn't survive it. And me experiencing that
Speaker 1: in the amount of pain, I understand why you started
Speaker 1: to self medicate. Here, I am I have the resource,
Speaker 1: at least more resources than they did, to be able
Speaker 1: to get into places and get into these doctors since
Speaker 1: I see what's going on. But I know what it's
Speaker 1: like when my grandmother is saying that my father was
Speaker 1: shot up to the hospital. He's suffering, and the doctor's
Speaker 1: telling you, oh, you look, everything seems to be fine.
Speaker 1: You don't know what to do with that you're suffering.
Speaker 1: So that also has helped to release a lot of
Speaker 1: my anger. I feel like my drive in this life
Speaker 1: has been anger. Everything that I have ever accomplished has
Speaker 1: come from anger. Once I'm mad, I will add this
Speaker 1: bitch out, clean out. We don't want that guy back
Speaker 1: straight up. You know what I'm saying. Once I get mad,
Speaker 1: that's it. That's so many black people's drive right. All right,
Speaker 1: Well we got more with August owl Sena. Let's get
Speaker 1: into his single all right. This one is called Resent.
Speaker 1: It features Juicy J and Little Wayne and also Donkey
Speaker 1: of the Day eight hundred five eight five one o
Speaker 1: five one. Charlemagne is not here, so you can get
Speaker 1: on those lines and give whoever you want donkey today.
Speaker 1: But we have more August outseen when we come back.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. He was saying. Warning,
Speaker 1: everybody is DJ Envy Angela, Yee, Charlemagne the guy we
Speaker 1: all the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with August Alsina.
Speaker 1: Now ye got a chance to sit down with him,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna get that back on. Even you being
Speaker 1: so vulnerable showing yourself in the hospital, and the documentary
Speaker 1: is saying, Look, I don't want people to feel bad
Speaker 1: for me because I'm sick or treat me differently because
Speaker 1: of the sickness that I have. That's not an easy
Speaker 1: thing to reveal to people. Absolutely, it's not because, as
Speaker 1: I said before, I would process it as a weakness.
Speaker 1: I'm learning how to walk again. Yeah, that's how to
Speaker 1: talk again. I couldn't talk, and that could end your career. Clearly,
Speaker 1: that's what you do. I was. I was afraid for
Speaker 1: a while, you know, and then it's just like, yo,
Speaker 1: well it's gonna be what it's gonna be. I gotta
Speaker 1: give it to God. But I couldn't speak. I had
Speaker 1: to teach myself how to talk again. I didn't know
Speaker 1: what giant syndrome was before I was diagnosed with. That's
Speaker 1: the person I heard of. It was because of you.
Speaker 1: I never I heard of it before. It's so scientific.
Speaker 1: I'm reading up on it, and it's like the perfect
Speaker 1: storm of things has to happen, like a mixture of
Speaker 1: some food, a massive amount of stress, and like some
Speaker 1: type or something, and then it just eats your nerves
Speaker 1: and it eat my nerves inside of my legs. And
Speaker 1: I was done for and I had to fight for
Speaker 1: my life. You know. I'm not at I'm not. My
Speaker 1: body knows when it starts to need my IMMENO therapy sessions,
Speaker 1: I start to drop and I start to crash. I
Speaker 1: do think there hasn't been any awareness on a Jamber
Speaker 1: Ray syndrome and it can happen to anybody. The doctors
Speaker 1: were telling me, it's good that you got in here
Speaker 1: when you did, because you could have died. Right. That's
Speaker 1: another reason in me sharing it is to bring some
Speaker 1: kind of awareness. Yeah, because that could happen to someone.
Speaker 1: You didn't know what it was, and doctors didn't know
Speaker 1: what it was. Listen, I'm happy to see that you
Speaker 1: have put out this project though, Thank you. So let's
Speaker 1: talk about it because I know we've been talking about
Speaker 1: so many different things, and part of that is because
Speaker 1: as I was watching the documentary, I had so many questions.
Speaker 1: But like I said, it does so much you know,
Speaker 1: relate back to what you talk about in the music,
Speaker 1: and there's some fun stuff in there too. You know
Speaker 1: you still like going to the strip cloud? Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: you know I like to I'd like to see things.
Speaker 1: I'm a visual person. I like to see things. You know,
Speaker 1: the more you experience in life, the more you experience love,
Speaker 1: the more you you can actually talk about things. Right,
Speaker 1: I think the funniest the funniest thing is this in
Speaker 1: this conversation. Conversation still happens to this day, where you
Speaker 1: know so many people are concerned about Oh my girl,
Speaker 1: he don't the giant. Oh that's my fault that people
Speaker 1: think that you created this. But and I told you this, right,
Speaker 1: some of your fans hated me after that because they
Speaker 1: thought that we had like a situation and I would
Speaker 1: go place and they'd be like, oh, she ain't messing
Speaker 1: with August and she was, and I'm like, nah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Augusts are cool and it would be like fun conversation
Speaker 1: to me. You know. Obviously you did lip service. You
Speaker 1: were one of the first people when I brought it. Yes,
Speaker 1: I did my podcast very first episode, right, yeah, you
Speaker 1: showed us some pictures of yourself. I just was saying that.
Speaker 1: I was just talking about this the other day. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I remember doing ye lip service and I'm just I'm young,
Speaker 1: dumb flick, and I'm like, oh, y'all, like, oh, we
Speaker 1: want to can we see you show? You know, I
Speaker 1: look at It's crazy because I look at those videos
Speaker 1: now and I'm like cringing at them, like wow, like
Speaker 1: what are you doing? You know what I'm saying that
Speaker 1: that's what being young and you don't ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: just young and ready, you know. But like I said,
Speaker 1: things changed. Man. You know when she you experience a
Speaker 1: certain type of love in this life, you want to
Speaker 1: please your lover in any way possible. I mean absolutely
Speaker 1: that you have to say. I'm growing. And that's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying is I never said that I don't vagina, right,
Speaker 1: never said that I don't vagina. I'm just saying that
Speaker 1: I didn't everybody's but ok that's me absolutely, because I
Speaker 1: know several people who literally anybody's box right sea. And
Speaker 1: I'm just exactly and I'm just I'm just but you
Speaker 1: still haven't swam to the butt yet? Right oh, right there?
Speaker 1: Not chick. Okay, so you haven't been in love love? No,
Speaker 1: I mean I've been in love, but I got a
Speaker 1: complex with pool man. I don't really don't. I don't
Speaker 1: really enjoy pool. Well, we don't want you to eat that.
Speaker 1: It's a different I mean cleans clean, but pooh, that's
Speaker 1: where it says. Right after the shower, after a bath,
Speaker 1: maybe some salt water in the ocean. I gotta dig
Speaker 1: up in there, make sure nothing is because it's not
Speaker 1: off the table. I get a lot of spec in
Speaker 1: my mouth. I'm after all, you've been through, that's what
Speaker 1: makes you traumatize, praumatize because you know you know what happened. Um,
Speaker 1: oh god, you had an experience. I did. I did.
Speaker 1: I've had an experience one time and she you know,
Speaker 1: kind of shot it on me and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh wait till you wait where you're doing it. Ain't
Speaker 1: try y'all try and try to tried it, okay, and
Speaker 1: it didn't work from the picture that we saw. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you're the first year the one that
Speaker 1: she's breaking people in in that way, but I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I pleaded the fifth on that right there. So you
Speaker 1: think you'll ever be in love like you were in love?
Speaker 1: Was that like a soul? May? Do you believe in that? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: I do. I believe in that absolutely. And you know,
Speaker 1: so mais can come in many forms and form of friends,
Speaker 1: lover us whatever. I think that that experience was really
Speaker 1: tough for me and uh took a lot out of
Speaker 1: me that you know. I don't know, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I am even prepared for a relationship, said celibate. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: I haven't had sex in so long, so long three
Speaker 1: years now, wow, that is a long time, you know,
Speaker 1: But I haven't even really necessarily had a huge desire.
Speaker 1: I think there's a something that I was researching called demisexuality.
Speaker 1: Basically like you are sexually attracted to people that you
Speaker 1: feel emotion from right Whereas back in the g I
Speaker 1: just used to be able to hit something like what's good? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I used to be you know. Now emotion have to
Speaker 1: be involved, you know. And it feels like you want
Speaker 1: love so badly. Absolutely, I actually I love love well.
Speaker 1: I know we could talk for hours and hours and hours,
Speaker 1: and I know we'll do this again, but I want
Speaker 1: you to give us just having to deal with everything
Speaker 1: you've gone through in and out of the hospital and
Speaker 1: not knowing what was going to happen. What are some
Speaker 1: of the lessons that you would leave us with? The
Speaker 1: biggest lesson for me has been to always strive for more,
Speaker 1: always strive for something different, and to be comfortable with
Speaker 1: being uncomfortable. And that's a really hard thing to do.
Speaker 1: But those uncomfortable places, in those tight places, forces you
Speaker 1: to rise up or get crushed. That's all I got.
Speaker 1: That's a lot. Well, thank you, August. I always appreciate you,
Speaker 1: and thank you for just being so great to me

Speaker 1: of love for me. I have a lot of love

Speaker 1: There's pictures that were online of the two of them together,
Speaker 1: and people were actually he said he was missing out
Speaker 1: on opportunities and he was getting blackballed from things, and
Speaker 1: he felt like he wanted to live his truth and
Speaker 1: that's something that he experienced in his life. That's his
Speaker 1: truth and he wanted to set the record. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I don't know that. I don't think that
Speaker 1: was cool at all man. To me. I mean that's
Speaker 1: my opinion. But you know, is it ever not cool

Speaker 1: that's their business. We all love will and say we

Speaker 1: let's open up the phone lines, let's talk about it.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five eight five one on five one. Could
Speaker 1: you have an open relationship? Can you allow your wife
Speaker 1: to talk to whoever she wanted? And ladies, could you
Speaker 1: allow your husband to, you know, talk to who he wanted.
Speaker 1: I want to get to whatever you want. I think
Speaker 1: you kind of have to go back in and discuss it.
Speaker 1: Probably right, No, there's no discussion, and here is no
Speaker 1: disc I mean, well, gave his blessing according to August. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not there. I couldn't do that. Yeah, a blessing.
Speaker 1: You couldn't give anyone a blessing to talk to Gear. No,
Speaker 1: if you had to pick somebody, no, no, Maxwell, no
Speaker 1: not damn Maxwell, no nobody. What about you? Ye? Would
Speaker 1: you let your man just just kick it with anybody
Speaker 1: out there? He knows better? Oh? So you wouldn't give
Speaker 1: him a hayk ahead, not even absolutely absolutely not. He
Speaker 1: don't even want me to think that. See it works.
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five eight five one o five one or
Speaker 1: you in that situation? Would you do that? Call us now,
Speaker 1: let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Your morning's will never be the same. Monday,
Speaker 1: July six at nine eighth Central, The Realest Show on
Speaker 1: the Market returns. The VH one follow LA's toughest agents
Speaker 1: as they make their come ups in the world a
Speaker 1: celebrity real Estate, Love and Listenings. Premiere Monday July sixth
Speaker 1: at nine eighth Century Only on VH one The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: It's topic time called eight hundred five eight five one
Speaker 1: oh five. Want to join it to the discussion with
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club, talk about it morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we all the Breakfast Club?
Speaker 1: Now if he just joined us. Earlier today we played
Speaker 1: an interview with Angela Yee and august Alcina. Now during
Speaker 1: the interview, he said he had a relationship with Jada Pinkett.
Speaker 1: So we're asking eight hundred five eight five one oh
Speaker 1: five one, can you have that type of relationship? Can
Speaker 1: you have an open relationship me personally? No, that doesn't
Speaker 1: you know what a lot of people are out here
Speaker 1: in open relationships and don't know it, that's different. If
Speaker 1: you don't know, it's a little different. That means you're
Speaker 1: getting cheap staying. And I know people who they know
Speaker 1: that their husband does what he wants and they still
Speaker 1: don't do anything, and so I think that's wrong. Also,
Speaker 1: I think it's wrong when people lie if you have
Speaker 1: an agreement, like, okay, look, they say they're in a
Speaker 1: partnership now, right, and that's what it is. It's a partnership.
Speaker 1: And Jada was like, well, could be on the other
Speaker 1: side of the house. As a matter of fact, let's
Speaker 1: play that audio right here. If you marry me, know this,
Speaker 1: we're going to be together. We're gonna be under the
Speaker 1: same roof. You might be on one end of that
Speaker 1: joker with somebody else, joga with somebody else. And I
Speaker 1: always said, that's ridiculous. We're gonna be in this joker together, right.
Speaker 1: So that's what works for them, and they're both okay
Speaker 1: with it and an agreeance with it. The problem is
Speaker 1: when people do things and they sneak around and do them.
Speaker 1: That's what the real issue is, when they lie, correct
Speaker 1: And I think with me, I'd rather be lied to
Speaker 1: than to know what's going on. There's no way that
Speaker 1: I can know that my wife just went somebody and
Speaker 1: somebody blew a back out. So you would rather be
Speaker 1: lied to? Okay, that's interesting. Yes, I'd rather not know.
Speaker 1: I'd rather not know. Would you want to know? I mean,
Speaker 1: I'd rather none of it? But would you want to know?
Speaker 1: If it was the difference between would you want to
Speaker 1: know your man is as another girl and they chilling listen,
Speaker 1: I'd like to Yeah, I would like to know because
Speaker 1: I would like to make a decision if I want
Speaker 1: to move forward in this relationship or not. I would
Speaker 1: like to know. I can't have open relationships not gonna
Speaker 1: work for me. What about you? Would you allow your
Speaker 1: man to run around and sling his penis all over
Speaker 1: the place. Well, first of all, of course, not slinging penis.
Speaker 1: I think that sounds awful, But I do feel like
Speaker 1: they've been together for such a long time. We could
Speaker 1: say that now, but who knows if you'll feel that way,
Speaker 1: you know, twenty years from now. Maybe envy when you're
Speaker 1: in your sixties. No, you probably won't even be able
Speaker 1: to get an direction. I will, and no, it's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen. But let's go to the phone lines eight
Speaker 1: hundred five eight five one oh five one. Hello, who's
Speaker 1: this Mia? Hey? Mia? We're talking about an open relationship.
Speaker 1: Would you have an open relationship? I do you do? Okay?
Speaker 1: How does it work? Talk to us? And how does
Speaker 1: it work? Perfectly fine? For me? I just feel like, Um,
Speaker 1: it's less cheating. You don't have to worry about your
Speaker 1: partners being with anybody else. So I love it. So
Speaker 1: he's allowed to talk to whoever he wants, and you

Speaker 1: call me and your opinions to the Breakfast Club topic
Speaker 1: on eight five five one five, one morning. Everybody is
Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning. Now if you just joined us,
Speaker 1: we're talking about August Alcina and his relationship with Jada
Speaker 1: Pinkett Smith. They allegedly have an open relationship, and we're
Speaker 1: asking would you have that type of relationship? Hello? Who's this? Maya?
Speaker 1: Hey Maria, good morning? Could you have an open relationship? Maya?
Speaker 1: I did m and how did that work? It didn't
Speaker 1: really work out very well? The dude, and does this
Speaker 1: refecting me? And I wonder a couple of songs? But
Speaker 1: I put her up my prison next day. So wow,
Speaker 1: So it didn't work for you? No, would you do
Speaker 1: it again? I would? If there was more communication and understanding,
Speaker 1: I would. Okay, okay, he's not against it. Yeah. Hello,
Speaker 1: who's this? Hey, Envy? This is r T from Florida.
Speaker 1: Eight from Florida, Good morning, good morning, But talking about
Speaker 1: an open relationship, would you have an open relationship with
Speaker 1: your man? Absolutely not? Why not? This for the main reason. Look,
Speaker 1: what's the whole on Now, let's August bat there and
Speaker 1: told his business to everybody, him and data. And that's
Speaker 1: what happened when when the other person get their feelings
Speaker 1: got so you wouldn't do it because you think people
Speaker 1: would be talking you and you don't want your business
Speaker 1: out there. I want my business out there, and I
Speaker 1: think it's dangerous in a relationship, especially when you're married.
Speaker 1: But you know that, Jad. It was posting pictures of
Speaker 1: the two of them together, of them on vacations, at
Speaker 1: award shows, on the red carpet together. It wasn't like
Speaker 1: something people didn't know. She just never said it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but if it's if it's a relationship and she's married
Speaker 1: and they have an open relationship, When people have those
Speaker 1: type of relationships, it's normally private. Whether it was pictures
Speaker 1: posted or not. He could have just been their friends.
Speaker 1: M Okay, all right, well thank you, mama, Let's go
Speaker 1: to what more? Hello? Who's this? Hey? This is a
Speaker 1: red hey? Rees? Now, would you have an old relationship? No,
Speaker 1: I don't think that. Um, I don't even believe in
Speaker 1: open relationship. I feel like people who have open relationships
Speaker 1: it's because they're missing certain things from whoever they consider
Speaker 1: it their main relationship. And I'm very old school, that's
Speaker 1: how it was blown up. So I feel like, if
Speaker 1: you are interested or entertained by other people, then you
Speaker 1: shouldn't even be in a relationship period. You should just
Speaker 1: respect the other person who's being committed and let them know, Hey,
Speaker 1: I want to see other people until you can learn
Speaker 1: to be in a committed relationship with your one person,
Speaker 1: because they're still jealousy, involved, and so many other things
Speaker 1: even when you are in an open relationship. So what's
Speaker 1: the point of being in an open relationship when we
Speaker 1: stoken have jealousy, intentions and everything else with the person
Speaker 1: that you started there with. What if you now, let
Speaker 1: me ask you this. It's just based on what was
Speaker 1: said on Red Table Talk before. What if you and
Speaker 1: your husband aren't having sex and they're not physical with
Speaker 1: each other, but you guys just have a partnership. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I saw that and I didn't really understand it, much
Speaker 1: like me and my husband, the way we see things
Speaker 1: this very old school, But I feel like, if you're
Speaker 1: not having sex with your partners and you guys have
Speaker 1: a partnership, but you're you're missing that and you're meeting
Speaker 1: that physical you know from somebody, then either you and
Speaker 1: your partner need to have a conversation or you know,
Speaker 1: you guys need to figure out what steps as far
Speaker 1: as separation, because if I'm gonna be with you but
Speaker 1: I can't get all of you physically mentally, then I
Speaker 1: don't see myself being with you because I feel like
Speaker 1: a partnership includes all of that. It shouldn't just be
Speaker 1: like a certain thing. But that's just me personally, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that works for them. I think that works
Speaker 1: for them, And if it works for them, that's great.
Speaker 1: It just it couldn't work for me. One I'm too jealous.
Speaker 1: I couldn't sit there. And, like I said, my wife
Speaker 1: was watching three hundred and sixty five Days, which is
Speaker 1: a new show on Netflix that's very graphic, and I
Speaker 1: was kind of upset, like, why are you watching this
Speaker 1: so you get turned on by this? I had to
Speaker 1: sling something happened. She's like, ain't nothing happening here? Better
Speaker 1: not believe that. But anyway, what's the moral of the story.
Speaker 1: Then the more of the story is different strokes for
Speaker 1: different folks. Literally literally, all right, now we got rooms
Speaker 1: on the way. Yes, and we are going to be
Speaker 1: talking about some backlash for rich people. We'll talk about
Speaker 1: Kim and Kanye and white people were upset about some
Speaker 1: of their posts. All right, we'll get to that next
Speaker 1: keeping lock this the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: This is the rule of report with Angela. Ye. Yes,
Speaker 1: So I saw that people were upset at Kim and
Speaker 1: Kanye and they said that they are insensitive because of
Speaker 1: these posts. Now Kim Kardashian posts and meet North Frisian horse.
Speaker 1: We have fourteen gorgeous Frisians on the ranch. And Kanye
Speaker 1: tweeted out, I'm so proud of my beautiful wife, Kim
Speaker 1: Kardashian West for officially becoming a billionaire. You whether the
Speaker 1: craziest storms, and now God is shining on you and
Speaker 1: our family, so blessed. This is still life. So I
Speaker 1: made this still life. We love you so much. Now,
Speaker 1: people were saying that it was insensitive with the time
Speaker 1: period right now, just because those Friesian horses cost fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars each and they have fourteen of them on
Speaker 1: their ranch, and they were just feeling like, you know,
Speaker 1: everybody's going through it right now. We don't want to
Speaker 1: hear about how rich you are. Yeah, people gotta stop.
Speaker 1: I mean they are still working, They're still making a
Speaker 1: lot of money, and they are donating a lot of money.
Speaker 1: They all fighting. Kanye donated a lot of money to
Speaker 1: the cause, to the George Floyd's family and everything that's
Speaker 1: going on. Kim Kardashian has been fighting. She's been going
Speaker 1: to the White House trying to get people freed. So
Speaker 1: they are making a lot of money if they want
Speaker 1: to purchase things, and they want to buy things to
Speaker 1: make themselves happy or whatever it may be. So be it.
Speaker 1: Like people need to get out of their business, like
Speaker 1: for real, Like they are doing what they're supposed to
Speaker 1: be doing and they're giving back, right, I mean, look, yes,
Speaker 1: people can stay out of their business. But then I
Speaker 1: guess when you post certain things, you get certain reactions
Speaker 1: from people, So you know, I think it also is
Speaker 1: it comes with that. Yeah, people need to stop. And
Speaker 1: a Friesian horse is about thirty four thousand dollars, right,
Speaker 1: I'm looking them up right now about they range from
Speaker 1: thirty four don't tell me you have fourteen of those. Also, No,
Speaker 1: I ain't got no Freesian horse. I'm skinned horses, all
Speaker 1: right now, speaking of people and getting out of businesses.
Speaker 1: You know, Jada Pinkett Smith of course has a red
Speaker 1: Table talk and now everyone's posting this throwback clip of
Speaker 1: her on the show talking about her relationship with Will
Speaker 1: Smith and how she is not going anywhere or listen
Speaker 1: to this. If you marry me, know this, We're going
Speaker 1: to be together. We're gonna be under the same roof.
Speaker 1: You might be on one end of that joker with
Speaker 1: somebody else, joga with somebody else. Yeah, And I always
Speaker 1: said that's ridiculous. We're gonna be in this joker together.
Speaker 1: Now a lot of people are talking about that in
Speaker 1: reference to obviously August out seeing us saying that he
Speaker 1: had the relationship with Jada Pickett Smith for years of
Speaker 1: his life and gave of himself and the love that
Speaker 1: he had for her and Will Smith giving them his blessing.
Speaker 1: I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation
Speaker 1: due to the transformation from their marriage to life partnership
Speaker 1: that they've spoken only several times and then, you know,
Speaker 1: not involving romanticism. He gave me his blessing and I
Speaker 1: totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life,
Speaker 1: and I truly loved and have a ton of love
Speaker 1: for her. Yeah. I mean, look, people could talk about
Speaker 1: their relationship all they want, but what works for them
Speaker 1: works for them, but works for them doesn't necessarily work
Speaker 1: for me. But as long as they're happy, they're together,
Speaker 1: things work in their relationship. Every relationship is different. You
Speaker 1: can't be mad at that all right now, as we're
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what are you gonna do on
Speaker 1: this holiday weekend? Since I've been talking about rich people,
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber has rented a five million dollar Hampton's home
Speaker 1: for three weeks and he paid three hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars for that for three weeks. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: people can't really go out the country, so they're going
Speaker 1: to the Hamptons. They're going to Malibu, and they're renting
Speaker 1: these mansions and they're relaxing. I think Jay has a
Speaker 1: he rented I'm mansion out there in the Hamptons. Justin Bieber,
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's what people are doing, and that
Speaker 1: you have the nerve to tell me when I told
Speaker 1: you I cancel my trip, that I should try to
Speaker 1: go to the Hamptons. Yeah, I don't have three hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy five thousand dollars. Well, it depends where you
Speaker 1: going to Hamptons. Like there's the house that's directly on
Speaker 1: the beach in the Hamptons, and then there's the house
Speaker 1: that's a couple of blocks off the beach from the Hamptons.
Speaker 1: I mean it's with you what is Yeah, but you
Speaker 1: got it. You could buy a house with that. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's how you think. I think the same thing, all right.
Speaker 1: And Will Packer has a sports drama in the works
Speaker 1: at HBCU Sports Drama, so that should be exciting to watch.
Speaker 1: It's a timely story about a young man's journey of
Speaker 1: discovery at an HBCU and his fight against an NCUBA
Speaker 1: A system. So I'm excited about that. I'd love to
Speaker 1: see that. M all right. I'm Mandela Yee and that
Speaker 1: is your rumor report. All right, thank you, miss Yee.

Speaker 1: so that Donelle Rawlings flew himself out to and was

Speaker 1: I got the Emmy, I got the two Tone. I've
Speaker 1: done Broadway, I've done off Broadway, I've done TV, I've
Speaker 1: done film. I've done all of it. I have a
Speaker 1: career that's probably comfortable to Meryl Streep, Julian Moore. They
Speaker 1: have the same path as me, and yet I am
Speaker 1: nowhere near them, not as far as money, not as
Speaker 1: as far as job opportunities. But I have to get
Speaker 1: on that phone and people say you're a black Meryl Streep. Okay,
Speaker 1: then if there's no one like me, you think i'm that,
Speaker 1: you pay me what I'm worth. Breakfast Club, You're finish
