Speaker 1: right now is the Breakfast Club? Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the rum as Le's talk O'Kelly listen,
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, got angel angela club Well. Opening statements were
Speaker 1: yesterday and R Kelly's federal child and charges of child
Speaker 1: pornography and obstruction of justice. They are a legend that
Speaker 1: he had sex with miners on numerous occasions, recorded a
Speaker 1: lot of these assaults to VHS tape, and then also
Speaker 1: pay people who knew about the recordings to keep quiet
Speaker 1: when he did face criminal charges of child pornography in
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. This was all said, is Jared's
Speaker 1: started the federal trial yesterday. So prosecutors said during opening
Speaker 1: statements that R. Kelly had a dark side and kept
Speaker 1: a hidden the world behind his fame and status. And
Speaker 1: the victims were as young as fourteen, and they said
Speaker 1: they were multiple girls hundreds of times. And so jurors
Speaker 1: are going to be shown video of R. Kelly allegedly
Speaker 1: having sex with a miner. There's one woman that they
Speaker 1: expect abill testified. They said in this footage he repeatedly
Speaker 1: referred to his god daughter's fourteen year old anatomy, and
Speaker 1: they're expected to see parts of three videotapes with R.
Speaker 1: Kelly having sexual contact with his then fourteen year old
Speaker 1: god daughter Jane over the course of the trial. So
Speaker 1: they said he was a Grammy winning superstar who was
Speaker 1: also a serial predator who had sex hundreds of times
Speaker 1: with miners and went to extraordinary lengths to cover it up.
Speaker 1: So another videotape allegedly showing child porn won't be played
Speaker 1: because they said R. Kelly and his co defendants Daryl
Speaker 1: McDavid and Milton Brown and allegedly covered it up, but
Speaker 1: witnesses will still testify about it. That's another thing too,
Speaker 1: Like you know, when they were saying All Kelly's team
Speaker 1: didn't want people to watch Surviving R Kelly Dockwood, what
Speaker 1: about the all Kelly sex tape that's been circulating for
Speaker 1: a couple of decades now, right, Well, the girl allegedly
Speaker 1: seen in multiple child pornography tapes from the late nineties
Speaker 1: having sex with R. Kelly, is they're saying going to
Speaker 1: be the star witness and testify and say that he
Speaker 1: had sex with her when she was fourteen, recorded some
Speaker 1: of their hundreds of sexual encounters, and those alleged encounters,
Speaker 1: and those tapes were part of a two thousand and
Speaker 1: eight Illinois child pornography child in which Kelly was acquitted.
Speaker 1: If you guys recall when that happened after the witness
Speaker 1: declined to take the stand. Now she's nearly forty years
Speaker 1: old and she's finally expected to testify. You know this
Speaker 1: is gonna be I mean, look, according to his attorney,
Speaker 1: she wants to know why Jane is coming forward now
Speaker 1: to testify that the tapes were of her. She said,
Speaker 1: for the last twenty two years, she has adamantly denied
Speaker 1: that it was her in that video. Before there was
Speaker 1: any criminal investigation, she denied it. She denied it repeatedly
Speaker 1: to prosecutors. She denied it to social workers, to police officers.
Speaker 1: She denied it under oath to a grand jury. I mean,
Speaker 1: zue know, all, Kelly about to get sinners crazy? What
Speaker 1: do you got thirty years already right m and the
Speaker 1: other trial right yep, he's already been sentenced right all
Speaker 1: right now. Jonah Hill says that he will not promote
Speaker 1: any upcoming film so he can prioritize his mental health.
Speaker 1: He said he has met nearly twenty years experiencing anxiety attacks,
Speaker 1: which are exacerbated by media appearances and public facing events.
Speaker 1: So he released that in an open letter. And so
Speaker 1: he has a movie that he just finished directing, his
Speaker 1: second film. It's called Stuts, and it's about him, his
Speaker 1: therapist and mental health. It's a documentary. So he said,
Speaker 1: the whole purpose of making this film is to give
Speaker 1: therapy and the tools I've learned in therapy tore a
Speaker 1: wide audience for private use through an entertaining film. Through
Speaker 1: this journey of self discovery. Within the film, I have
Speaker 1: come to the understanding that I've spent nearly twenty years
Speaker 1: experiencing anxiety attacks, travel a clus bonds for Jonah hill
Speaker 1: Man whenever about his stories, like Jonah hill or even
Speaker 1: Adrian Brona the other day, I don't care what people
Speaker 1: got to say about it, because if you don't understand
Speaker 1: anxiety and panic attacks, and you just simply don't understand,
Speaker 1: so to see them be like you know what, I
Speaker 1: ain't going. Yeah, y'all been working with me for a
Speaker 1: long time, y'all see charts. Charlomagne just don't show up
Speaker 1: and knows be the reasons and to be able to
Speaker 1: express that now in twenty twenty two and not feel
Speaker 1: no shame for it. I love it all right. And
Speaker 1: Mike Miller is issuing a ten million dollar challenge and
Speaker 1: this is to music executives who said that his career
Speaker 1: was over. He tweeted out and he said, if you're
Speaker 1: a corporate person that work in the music business and
Speaker 1: ever predicted Mieke is over, I want to place a
Speaker 1: ten million dollars bet with you contract label owners, A
Speaker 1: and R CEO CEOs artists. I'm just finding out y'all
Speaker 1: was talking like that. Y'all said I was over at
Speaker 1: least five times, and I'm gonna do it from an
Speaker 1: independent side, no major vibes to make effortless. This is
Speaker 1: not a joke. That's for people that fake call the
Speaker 1: shots in this music industry. They really be washed and
Speaker 1: try to place their limits on you and want you
Speaker 1: to believe it's never well. I would need more information
Speaker 1: before I take a bet like that, though, because I
Speaker 1: want to know what was considered over consider success. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the album sales, it's the number of tickets you
Speaker 1: can sell on the road and get your merth sales.
Speaker 1: Like what is considered success nowadays in the music industry,
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't really tell. Like if you look
Speaker 1: at Meek's Dreaming Nightmares, right, that wasn't a single, but
Speaker 1: it was a record that everybody love took off and
Speaker 1: it's probably in a last real hit. Yeah, fifteen years
Speaker 1: is the biggest record in the club to this day,
Speaker 1: so you know, yeah, it's a hit that's not a
Speaker 1: hit on the charts, but it's a it's bigger than
Speaker 1: any record on the chart in my opinion, you know.
Speaker 1: And I mean the industry is like sports, right, Like
Speaker 1: folks talk about artists like sports team. If you had
Speaker 1: seasons that were better than the seasons you are having now,
Speaker 1: folks might say, well, he doesn't sound like he used to,
Speaker 1: So that's where that he fell off talk probably comes from.
Speaker 1: But I would just simply want to know what considered
Speaker 1: success to meet before before somebody takes that bet. You know,
Speaker 1: all right, well that is your room of reports. I
Speaker 1: do have a question, right when you talk about anxiety,
Speaker 1: like we were talking about Adrian Brona, right, and I
Speaker 1: get it, he wasn't we don't know why. He said
Speaker 1: his mental health wasn't right, so he canceled a fight.
Speaker 1: But now what happens to everybody else involved in that?
Speaker 1: It's just like if everybody else because you got people
Speaker 1: that paid for flights and we're flying to come and
Speaker 1: see him. You got promoters that put millions of dollars
Speaker 1: into this, You got you know, I'm sure they gave
Speaker 1: him a bag to start training. Like, so how does
Speaker 1: that work when when you have it? I mean, because
Speaker 1: I get it. If you if you don't feel comfortable
Speaker 1: or your mentalists not right, you can say I don't
Speaker 1: want to do it. But how does that all play
Speaker 1: into everything else? Because you got people that you know,
Speaker 1: spent their last to come see him fighting, all they
Speaker 1: find somebody else to fight? Yeah, you know, yes, they
Speaker 1: already did. They have somebody fighting this weekend. Figure I
Speaker 1: was fighting, So I forgot who stepped in the fight
Speaker 1: for fight for Brona this weekend. Because if you're a
Speaker 1: Brona fan goes on you want to see Brona though
Speaker 1: you know, I mean no disrespect to the other box.
Speaker 1: You want to see Brona. You paid your money to
Speaker 1: see Brona or Jonah Hill if he had something you're
Speaker 1: paying to see Jonah Hill, you know somebody else. It's
Speaker 1: just how does that work? And I get it, but well,
Speaker 1: he's just talking about interviews Jonah Hill, He's not you know, hey, man,
Speaker 1: I get all of that. But yeah, Sergy Lippernets is
Speaker 1: replacing Adrian Bona. But I don't think it matters, you know,
Speaker 1: I really don't. I think in moments like that, you
Speaker 1: have to be selfish because you know, you pushed when
Speaker 1: when you push through when when when you're dealing with
Speaker 1: like panic attacks and anxiety, it just makes it worse
Speaker 1: and nobody has to deal with that except for the
Speaker 1: person that's dealing with it. So I would rather be
Speaker 1: selfish and moments like that, But do you show up
Speaker 1: for that person? Do you believe? You know? Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I do believe that you gotta communicate that you're not
Speaker 1: doing something instead of just not showing up. Now you do.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's easier to have those conversations it was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's easier to have those conversations now than it was
Speaker 1: five years ago. Definitely ten years ago, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? You couldn't say that, man, I'm having a
Speaker 1: panic attack I'm having an anxiety attack. People don't even
Speaker 1: understand what the hell are you talking about? Right? But
Speaker 1: now I think people understand a little bit more. Where
Speaker 1: do you show up for him next time? You know
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, it's all right, well, front page
Speaker 1: news is next. It's the breakfast Local morning, So breakfast Club,
Speaker 1: your morning's will never be the same. Leaving a child
Speaker 1: in a hot vehicle can lead to their death very quickly.
Speaker 1: If you see a child left unattended, called nine one one.
Speaker 1: If the child looks unresponsive, do what it takes to
Speaker 1: get him or her out safely. Pay for it by
Speaker 1: nitza morning. Everybody is dj Envy Angela, Ye, Charlemagne and guy.
Speaker 1: We are to breakfast club. Let's get some front page
Speaker 1: news will be starting easy. Yeah all right, Well, when
Speaker 1: you want to find something online, how do you look
Speaker 1: for it? Google? Google? Yes? But do you know what
Speaker 1: jen Z he does? This had nearly forty percent of
Speaker 1: gen z members those are people born from ninety seven
Speaker 1: to twenty twelve preferred to use TikTok for online searches.
Speaker 1: They don't have a long attention span. They've said that
Speaker 1: several times they want to get information really quickly and
Speaker 1: get to the meat of it really quickly and not
Speaker 1: have to sort it out. So now instead of Google,
Speaker 1: they are going on TikTok to look for information. How
Speaker 1: do we feel about this? I'm confused, like you to
Speaker 1: feel about this, old heads. So if you want to search,
Speaker 1: let's say I don't know the White House, you could
Speaker 1: search the White House and TikTok and then you see
Speaker 1: a TikTok video of the White House come up. Yep.
Speaker 1: I feel like that ruins how your brain processes information,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I feel like that message
Speaker 1: with your ability to have a message, with your critical
Speaker 1: thinking skills, that's what I think. I don't think anybody's
Speaker 1: doing anythinking actually, because you're literally just letting people do
Speaker 1: all the thinking for you. They're doing all the research
Speaker 1: for you, and you're just taking their word for it.
Speaker 1: How do you even know what they say is true?
Speaker 1: They also said the TikTok's use of video is very
Speaker 1: appealing to gen z users. They get a more comprehensive
Speaker 1: search result. What if what if what's in those videos
Speaker 1: is misinformation? Though? Like I just feel like it should
Speaker 1: be something else, Like even when I Google, you know,
Speaker 1: when the Google cites me different sources. I'll go look
Speaker 1: at those sources, whether it's you know, books, any type
Speaker 1: of documentation. Like I just feel like just taking somebody's
Speaker 1: word for it in a video that's not critical thinking
Speaker 1: at all. That's why I always say, people wake up
Speaker 1: every day and they wait for social media to tell
Speaker 1: them what to feel about something. Now, according to the
Speaker 1: support though, gen Z does look for lighter topics on
Speaker 1: TikTok so things like recipes, fashion tips, bar recommendations, but
Speaker 1: when it comes to heavier topics like COVID or election information,
Speaker 1: they'll go to Google for that. Okay, all right, I
Speaker 1: respect that. Okay, I respect that you're going in for
Speaker 1: the lighter topics. Cool, I get it, you know, But
Speaker 1: for the heaviest stuff, you got to do some research.
Speaker 1: You got to do a little research, a lot of
Speaker 1: research actually, all right. Now, Florida court is saying a
Speaker 1: sixteen year old may be forced to have a baby
Speaker 1: even though she doesn't have parents and has told the
Speaker 1: court that she is not ready. So Florida maybe forcing
Speaker 1: her to give birth after an appeals court rule that
Speaker 1: she was not sufficiently mature enough to decide whether to
Speaker 1: determinate her pregnancy. So at the time, you know, she
Speaker 1: was ten weeks pregnant, and she was blocked from having
Speaker 1: an abortion without the consent of a parent or guardian.
Speaker 1: But they said had not established by clear and convincing
Speaker 1: evidence that she was sufficiently mature to decide whether to
Speaker 1: terminate her pregnancy. Having reviewed the record, they did affirm
Speaker 1: the child Court's decision under that law, Man, what is
Speaker 1: going on in the world? Bro Like that don't even
Speaker 1: sound real, Like I understand the law, but there's no
Speaker 1: compassion or empathy whatsoever for this young girl. I mean,
Speaker 1: I said, Yeah, how can you say somebody's they're not
Speaker 1: mature enough to have an abortion, but you think they're
Speaker 1: mature enough to have a baby at sixteen? That makes
Speaker 1: no sense. Yeah, And so on her end, you know,
Speaker 1: she lives with a relative. She also has an appointed guardian.
Speaker 1: She also did enough research to gain an understanding about
Speaker 1: her medical options and their consequences. She's also pursuing a
Speaker 1: ged with involvement in a program designed to assist young
Speaker 1: women who have experienced trauma in their lives by providing
Speaker 1: educational support and counseling. She actually experienced renewed trauma the
Speaker 1: death of a friend shortly before she decided to seek
Speaker 1: termination of her pregnancy, and so now she has in
Speaker 1: her petition, which she completed by hand. The teenager is
Speaker 1: sufficiently saying that she is mature enough to make that decision,
Speaker 1: and she's not ready to have a baby. She doesn't
Speaker 1: have a job, she's still in school, and the father
Speaker 1: is unable to assist her. How do you tell somebody,
Speaker 1: a teenager, that they're not mature enough to have an abortion,
Speaker 1: but they are mature enough to have a baby. This
Speaker 1: don't make no damn sense, man, exactly, this real life
Speaker 1: makes no sense. What oh all right? And her guardian,
Speaker 1: by the way, we said she has an appointed guardian,
Speaker 1: is fine with what she wants to do, and her
Speaker 1: case worker was with her in court as well. So
Speaker 1: I would think make this decision. I would think her
Speaker 1: wanting an abortion is because she realizes that, you know,
Speaker 1: she might not be mature enough to take care of
Speaker 1: this child right now, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: she's not in a financial position, she's not in no
Speaker 1: position to take care of a baby. I think that's
Speaker 1: the reason for wanting to have the abortion. So to
Speaker 1: tell her she's not mature enough to have an abortion,
Speaker 1: but force her to have the baby is even though
Speaker 1: she may not be mature enough to have the child
Speaker 1: is wild to me. All right, well that is your
Speaker 1: front page news, very wild. All right. Now, when we
Speaker 1: come back, Joey Badass will be joining us. We're gonna
Speaker 1: kick it with Joey bad So don't move. It's to
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, Go Morning the bread for Sclub Rap Album
Speaker 1: of the Year category. They should be mentioned in that
Speaker 1: kind of conversation. I mentioned a lot coming from me,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I appreciate that. Definitely worked
Speaker 1: really hard on that. I'm super satisfied with the project.
Speaker 1: I feel like all of the feedback has been really good.
Speaker 1: Every time I see I feel like you should have
Speaker 1: grew up in the woven naz Era here. That's what.
Speaker 1: Even when I see you acting, I'm like you are
Speaker 1: from that error, Like your whole embodiment fits that error.
Speaker 1: That's why I told me this morning, I was like, yo,
Speaker 1: I said, it's very New York but still fresh when
Speaker 1: I came out at the time, and it was like
Speaker 1: nobody has seen what I was doing, you know, But
Speaker 1: for me, it was kind of like a natural reaction
Speaker 1: to what was going on. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Circle twenty ten, twenty eleven. You know a lot of
Speaker 1: stuff on the radio was like young money dominant. Then
Speaker 1: they started going west coast with it, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. And I just felt the need that New
Speaker 1: York needed something that like represented it again. And yeah,
Speaker 1: now it was just a part of my DNA radio
Speaker 1: that time. I know that. Well. You know, I was
Speaker 1: a kid. I hated everything. I hated literally everything. I
Speaker 1: didn't would have talked to nobody. I ain't wold have
Speaker 1: seen nobody. I had no type of gauge on really
Speaker 1: what was going on into the magnitude of how it
Speaker 1: was going. Why did it take so long? Why why
Speaker 1: ten years between projects? Oh no, I wasn't five years
Speaker 1: ago American, right, but five years is a long time
Speaker 1: too in this business. Why five years? Man? It wasn't
Speaker 1: no specific reason, Like it wasn't like I finished my
Speaker 1: last time. I'm like, yeah, I'm gonna take five years
Speaker 1: or nine. It just it just happened that way, man.
Speaker 1: You know, I was experimenting, trying to find a new direction,
Speaker 1: trying to figure out which way I wanted to go.
Speaker 1: In addition, I had my first kid, you know, my daughter,
Speaker 1: she's four years old now, started doing a lot of
Speaker 1: TV and film stuff started taking off. So it was
Speaker 1: just really getting used to a new balance. And then
Speaker 1: the pandemic set me back. Like I had a project,
Speaker 1: but then when the pandemic started, I got connected with
Speaker 1: myself in a different way, you know, and it became
Speaker 1: a whole different thing, you know. So it's just it's
Speaker 1: kind of the way it lined up. But I'll tell
Speaker 1: you this, like I ain't never planning on going away
Speaker 1: for that long again, how did you get into acting?
Speaker 1: For people that don't know, I was a theater student
Speaker 1: in high school. I went to Edward Armro. I had
Speaker 1: like audition for a bunch of different drama theater programs
Speaker 1: because when I was coming up, when when it was
Speaker 1: time for me to go to high school, like I
Speaker 1: always was into music, but at the time there was
Speaker 1: no program to go to like work on my rap
Speaker 1: scales on the Rapper Show. My next best thing to
Speaker 1: me was film. They kicked me out after myself more
Speaker 1: year though for what my attendance was just poor. I
Speaker 1: was like one out of three black kids. And the
Speaker 1: great thing about that is I was one out of
Speaker 1: three Black Kids. It was me and the homie Sadiq
Speaker 1: who played ghost face on Who Tang Wow, So it
Speaker 1: was dope. You know what I'm saying that, Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, connecting back with him the whole
Speaker 1: full circle joint. Did you ever think you would lose
Speaker 1: your rap identity as Joey Badass playing inspected that? Um No,
Speaker 1: I didn't think I was gonna lose my rap identity.
Speaker 1: But that is a good question because I was always
Speaker 1: reluctant about playing roles that were too close to who
Speaker 1: I am in real life. But when I got off
Speaker 1: of that, you know, it's Wu Tang Like that's a
Speaker 1: big honor. And then Rizzi has been one of my
Speaker 1: mentors in this game for a long time, so I
Speaker 1: definitely wanted to come through for him, like I felt
Speaker 1: he's come through for me a lot of the times.
Speaker 1: But you know, then I got power and then I
Speaker 1: got on viv for woul Tang. Tell me about the
Speaker 1: jay Z connection, because you referenced that a couple of
Speaker 1: times on the album will make you feel and I
Speaker 1: might be papraz but you say peepe game like Jay
Speaker 1: That's that's why he didn't sign me. That's why I
Speaker 1: didn't he didn't sign us keep the game at Bay,
Speaker 1: like the forty nine is Jay's like an idol. I
Speaker 1: read his book The Coda, and that line was inspired
Speaker 1: by piecing theda coda when he said he met with
Speaker 1: Russell Simmons for the first time, and he details this
Speaker 1: sperience as him like remembering sitting at that table and
Speaker 1: looking at them and thinking to himself like, damn, like
Speaker 1: I don't want to be signing these. I want to
Speaker 1: beat these. Remember the first conversation with Jay, you first
Speaker 1: sit down on him. Yeah, Yeah, I was seventeen years old.
Speaker 1: I was in Denvil where he feeled me back out
Speaker 1: to New York to meet with him. And you know,
Speaker 1: I was a funny little to so I walked in
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yes, like get whatever it is. It
Speaker 1: was a dope experience, man, because at seventeen years old,
Speaker 1: I felt so limitless. It was probably like when I
Speaker 1: was fifteen and sixteen, like I visualized in my mind
Speaker 1: like I want to be signed at jay Z. So
Speaker 1: when I was going up in that rock Nation building,
Speaker 1: like a year or two later, I'm like, damn, I
Speaker 1: could do anything. I'm already in alignment with my idol,
Speaker 1: anything is possible. Did he tell you why he didn't
Speaker 1: sign y'all? It's funny like I always see him now
Speaker 1: and I'll be wanting to have that conversation, but the time,
Speaker 1: I feel like the time never permits, Like well we act,
Speaker 1: but I'd be wanting to ask them that I was
Speaker 1: so young at the time, and to me, there was
Speaker 1: no reason to not sign at jay Z. But you know,
Speaker 1: there was other factors involved and like that. So I'm
Speaker 1: not really sure what exactly happened, because based off the album,
Speaker 1: it seems like y'all used to be up there a lot,
Speaker 1: like skateboarding in front of the building. Well, yeah, they
Speaker 1: showed us a lot of love, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: To this day, you know, he looks out for me,
Speaker 1: shows me a lot of love. So it's just always
Speaker 1: been more like three degrees of separation, you know what
Speaker 1: you're saying. And I like what you said about this
Speaker 1: being a reintroduction to Joy Badass, because you do tell
Speaker 1: so much about yourself. You talk about your cousin Richie
Speaker 1: rich writing, your writing your first rap. Yeah, but what
Speaker 1: kind of battery did that put in your back? He
Speaker 1: just like really gave me structure, you know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: he taught me how to count balls and all like.
Speaker 1: And then you know, I had other older cousins who's
Speaker 1: a rapping like that. For a long time, it was
Speaker 1: a running joke because when I was a kid, I
Speaker 1: used to always tell them, yo, yeah, y'all need to
Speaker 1: bring me to the studio. And then it blew up
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, yeah, you remember writing your
Speaker 1: first rap nah nah. But it must have been in
Speaker 1: like first grade because that's when I was introduced the
Speaker 1: poetry and I identified it as like I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is that biggie doing. That's like what my brain said,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And from then I got
Speaker 1: into poetry, but I would always do like rap style poems.
Speaker 1: But I remember the first time I spent that verse
Speaker 1: that my cousin wrote for me for my mom's I
Speaker 1: was like nine years old when something like my name
Speaker 1: is little Jay and I got the nain you mentioned
Speaker 1: with me, and I blow off your mind. They hating cousins.
Speaker 1: I'll be on my ground and I always shine while
Speaker 1: you acting like your shelf clocks. But I put a
Speaker 1: pipe bomb in your mail box like that right, I'm
Speaker 1: not nave Sta. She was like, do you know what
Speaker 1: a nine? I was like, I'm to me, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm nine, so it just sounds I mean, I'm like, nah,
Speaker 1: she was like, it's a gun. First of all, it
Speaker 1: was like word, and then she gave me the realist advice.
Speaker 1: She was like, YO, look, if you want to do this,
Speaker 1: you could do that, but you just gotta be true
Speaker 1: to yourself. And from there I just kind of took
Speaker 1: that in rand with about the pipe mall nah. I
Speaker 1: think she kind of figured out that it wasn't my words,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, somebody who else was involved
Speaker 1: in that? All Right? We got more with Joey Badass
Speaker 1: when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club,
Speaker 1: Good Morning Wanting Everybody's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the
Speaker 1: guy we are to Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it
Speaker 1: with Joey Badass, Charlemagne. No, I love written in the
Speaker 1: Stars too. You mentioned your daughter earlier. You said your
Speaker 1: daughter was your wake up call. That what did that
Speaker 1: wake up call look like? You? Yeah, you know, I
Speaker 1: felt so obligated in earlier years in my career to
Speaker 1: take kid people to the point where a lot of
Speaker 1: the times it burned me out, feeling like guilt survives
Speaker 1: guilt and things that nature. But you know, when my
Speaker 1: baby girl came, I was like, oh, okay, this is
Speaker 1: really the only person I'm responsible for, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, and that that she's his different Like if
Speaker 1: you can't respect that, then you know we can't even
Speaker 1: be cool no more. How's your life change? How do
Speaker 1: you move differently now that you have a girl? Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, definitely more focused, definitely more intention and everything
Speaker 1: that I do, especially when it comes to you know, spending,
Speaker 1: and I mean I say it made me more patient,
Speaker 1: It made me more gentle, It made me more willing
Speaker 1: to learn and listen. How did you change your overall
Speaker 1: perspective of women? Definitely, Like you know, from time to
Speaker 1: time I would have the thought like I wouldn't with
Speaker 1: my daughter to you know what I'm saying, being in
Speaker 1: a situation like that, So it definitely kind of gives
Speaker 1: you a heightened state of awareness when it comes to
Speaker 1: that interaction. But I mean, I've always been a super
Speaker 1: respectful man anyway, but like you know, with my baby
Speaker 1: girl in my life, it definitely kind of shapes my
Speaker 1: mind in a way like, let me t to be
Speaker 1: more like the version of the man that I would
Speaker 1: want my baby girl to grow up. Man, you know,
Speaker 1: be with deal with Do you ever look at it
Speaker 1: like I was this way as a man and now
Speaker 1: I got to change because I don't want my daughter
Speaker 1: to like that as a man. Yes and no, because
Speaker 1: you know life is about growth. You know, nobody's gonna
Speaker 1: come straight off with a tree like boomp like nah,
Speaker 1: you got experience, and you know I want I don't
Speaker 1: want none of that to be hitting from my child,
Speaker 1: Like I don't want her to ever view life as
Speaker 1: a thing where you could skip steps and still get by.
Speaker 1: You know, we all got we all got all types
Speaker 1: of childhood traumas that we couldn't even run from if
Speaker 1: we tried to. These are the things that affect us saying,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, ultimately shape who we are,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But as long as you
Speaker 1: know you got that growth mindset, or as long as
Speaker 1: whoever she's with got that growth mindset, then I got
Speaker 1: some patience. You know, I got some sympathy now in
Speaker 1: the baddest first of all, you and you and did
Speaker 1: he seem like y'all have a strong relationship? Absolutely? How
Speaker 1: did he get so cool and so cool? Man? I
Speaker 1: met Diddy twenty sixteen coming out to Rihanna met Gala
Speaker 1: after the party and one no, he was walking out.
Speaker 1: I was walking in and you was just like, yo, King,
Speaker 1: I've been trying to connect with you for years, Like
Speaker 1: I was trying to sign you back in the day,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is all news to me, you
Speaker 1: know what i mean, It's the first time. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm like, wow, I work boom. And in
Speaker 1: that same week, I had rolled a lout in Miami
Speaker 1: and then I ran into him again and if from
Speaker 1: there it was just like we were just roll dogs,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like he would be going soon,
Speaker 1: yo Joe, I'm being New York b won't pull up.
Speaker 1: And we just kind of developed that relationship like that,
Speaker 1: and it's like I'm yeah, exactly because of me, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I got him on that project,
Speaker 1: I got him involved, I made a phone call. I'm
Speaker 1: super grateful for that relationship because me, I'm a sponge,
Speaker 1: so it's like you bring me around to the right
Speaker 1: rounds and tables like, I ain't taking that for granted.
Speaker 1: I'm connecting, I'm networking, I'm you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: I'm using the opportunity fruitfully, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: as it should be. So the fact that he could
Speaker 1: identify that in me, I'm very appreciative for that. You know,
Speaker 1: he did the intro and the oultro and the oultro
Speaker 1: he said something to the effect of, we gotta bring
Speaker 1: that New York feeling back. Are those conversations that y'all have?
Speaker 1: And do you think that you can actually bring New
Speaker 1: York back if you live in someplace like Miami or
Speaker 1: LA don't you gotta be here? Yeah? I think you
Speaker 1: gotta be here for show because you got to connect
Speaker 1: with the post of the city. You know. Um, what
Speaker 1: was the question? The question was, do y'all have those
Speaker 1: conversations about bringing the feeling back? Oh? Yeah, you know yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: me and Puff we've spoken about that over the years, Like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll play him some songs. He's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: like this is the vib this ain't the vibe, or
Speaker 1: you should do this, you should go more here, you know,
Speaker 1: But that's usually the focus of the conversation. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, we always trying to stay in that essence,
Speaker 1: he still got to end. Fifty said, did he don't
Speaker 1: got no? End? No more? Fifty said, did he ain't
Speaker 1: got no? That's a lot, That's a lot, puff. I
Speaker 1: feel like he always gonna have it. Yeah, now you
Speaker 1: can tell that you've really been doing the work on
Speaker 1: yourself mentally too, you know what I mean, Like you
Speaker 1: go to therapy. I do go to therapy. I started
Speaker 1: going to therapy back at twenty twenty, you know. As
Speaker 1: unfortunate as that pandemic was for a lot of people,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like I definitely don't want
Speaker 1: to be insensitive when I say this, but for me,
Speaker 1: I needed that. I didn't know stillness in my adult life.
Speaker 1: Like I hit the ground running that seventeen years old,
Speaker 1: I was still a kid. I didn't realize for about
Speaker 1: five six years, I didn't stop, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So when I finally got that space in that time,
Speaker 1: it's like I just went real deep inside, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, and I realized things that I needed.
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I need that be you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like I need to be held accountable
Speaker 1: for my shortcomings. I need those to be pointed out
Speaker 1: to me because I'm what you call a self improvement junk.
Speaker 1: Like I'm committed and devoted to being a better version
Speaker 1: of myself every time I show up. You could see
Speaker 1: the evolution in all the breakfast club interviews. I think
Speaker 1: this is our third one. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I pride myself on that. You know, So therapy
Speaker 1: was definitely an outlet that I saw to bring me
Speaker 1: closer to a higher self awareness and just state of being.
Speaker 1: How did you decide to do it? But with that decision, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I've always been open minded, and I started
Speaker 1: to resonate with that idea that black people therapy being
Speaker 1: so tabooed to us. What it was is I was
Speaker 1: introduced to the concept of emotional intelligence and that kind
Speaker 1: of blew my mind. That opened so many doors for
Speaker 1: me because I'm like, wow, like, we really wasn't taught
Speaker 1: this how important it is to identify your own emotions
Speaker 1: in relation to the people around you, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Like, we might just wake up in a
Speaker 1: bad mood and you wearing that moved and now your
Speaker 1: household is feeling that moved. And you don't even realize
Speaker 1: you just passed that mood on to your son. Now
Speaker 1: your son is in school with that moved and he
Speaker 1: passing that on to you know what I'm saying, energies.
Speaker 1: Energy is so contagious, and once I kind of like
Speaker 1: realized that, it started to open little pathways in my brain,
Speaker 1: like them even identifying with frustration as an emotion. If
Speaker 1: you tell a black man, yo, you're being an emotional
Speaker 1: that's like offensive. But people don't realize that. Yo. If
Speaker 1: you're angry, if we're having a conversation, you're just screaming
Speaker 1: because you're mad. You're in your emotion. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. People get emotionally hijacked every day, be every
Speaker 1: day like blinded by emotion, blinded by rage. So I
Speaker 1: just kind of started on that path for understanding myself more.
Speaker 1: Because I grew up I had like anger issues and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. It was hard to me to identify
Speaker 1: a lot of things that I was feeling. Did you
Speaker 1: figure out where that anger came from? None that I
Speaker 1: think about it, looking at the highsight, I think a
Speaker 1: lot of it came from when my parents split, me
Speaker 1: not knowing how to process that and then manifesting something
Speaker 1: else like me trying to find a reason for it elsewhere,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, I can't the same realization
Speaker 1: in therapy, Like I didn't realize how much my parents
Speaker 1: divorcing had impacted me and how angry I was at
Speaker 1: my pops for that word up to do something. And you,
Speaker 1: especially as a black man, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: because now you got that separation from your father and
Speaker 1: it's like you need your father, or as a black man,
Speaker 1: especially in this world, you had that conversation with your pops.
Speaker 1: Because you know, one of the best things that helped
Speaker 1: me was having a conversation with my pops and realizing
Speaker 1: that he was going to therapy two or three times
Speaker 1: a week back in the day he tried to kill himself,
Speaker 1: back in the day he was gonna tend to twelve
Speaker 1: different medications. It made me give him more grace because
Speaker 1: I realized, damn, he was somebody before he was my parents, right,
Speaker 1: and you know, he was just doing the best he could,
Speaker 1: but what he had. Yeah, you know, I have to
Speaker 1: I have great conversations from my dad all of the time,
Speaker 1: and it's like I have my own interpretations of it
Speaker 1: because my understanding and his understanding is definitely different, and
Speaker 1: it's like a generational difference. And I came to kind
Speaker 1: of growing accept that because what fulfills me, what I appreciate,
Speaker 1: what I'm grateful for is that I could hear my
Speaker 1: old man's wisdom, you know what I mean. And it's like,
Speaker 1: it's up to me to interpret that however see fit.
Speaker 1: But just being able to hear that, Like, you know,
Speaker 1: I might feel a little bit more spiritually advanced than
Speaker 1: my dad, but I could never be more experienced, And
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And that alone just makes
Speaker 1: me so grateful for any time we connect, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because I feel like it's a meeting
Speaker 1: of the minds and you can learn from anybody. All Right,
Speaker 1: we got more with Joey Badass when we come back,
Speaker 1: Dope Move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody.
Speaker 1: It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee Scharlamagne the guy we are
Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Joey Badass, Charlomagne.
Speaker 1: Do you really meditate every day? You say that on
Speaker 1: the abum you say you meditate every day. Nah, it's
Speaker 1: hard to meditate every day, like you know, that's more
Speaker 1: of like a manifestation. I would like to meditate every day.
Speaker 1: At a point, I was, you know, in the pandemic
Speaker 1: for show. But one thing I try to do is
Speaker 1: pray every day because I feel like it's a form
Speaker 1: of you know, meditation or just a form of being
Speaker 1: able to like program you're thinking in the right way.
Speaker 1: How would you during the pandemic with everything going on?
Speaker 1: Because you were in New York during the pandemic in
Speaker 1: Jersey years in Jersey, So how were you during that time? Man?
Speaker 1: I was just to myself, bro, Like I called it
Speaker 1: a time of internal retreat, you know, like I was.
Speaker 1: I was doing a lot of things. I was practicing celibacy.
Speaker 1: I was reading a lot of books, watching a lot
Speaker 1: of videos. I started cooking. I was making salads, you know,
Speaker 1: cooking and making salads. Well yeah, facts, I was making salads,
Speaker 1: but I learned how to make salmon all of that,
Speaker 1: you know, And I was slapping too. What did you
Speaker 1: see about it? Because I always say, you know, the pandemic,
Speaker 1: like you said earlier, made all of us be still
Speaker 1: for the first time. A lot of us had to
Speaker 1: like really be still for the first time and deal
Speaker 1: with ourselves, couldn't run from our traumas or nothing. What
Speaker 1: did you see that made you be like, oh Na,
Speaker 1: I gotta go do some work on myself. I saw
Speaker 1: how much I was settling for the short end of
Speaker 1: the stick. Like you know, I spent a lot of
Speaker 1: the like the first half of my career really focused
Speaker 1: and obliged to taking care of other people. And in
Speaker 1: that I put a lot of people before myself. So
Speaker 1: when the pandemic, it kind of put things in perspective
Speaker 1: to me. It's like, damn, I got I did this
Speaker 1: one for that one, that one for this one, But
Speaker 1: what the do I have to show for myself? And
Speaker 1: then that was a whole reset because then I came
Speaker 1: out the pandemic selfish, but in the best way possible,
Speaker 1: because I've never been that person. It is evident too,
Speaker 1: like I'm glad you noticed that. You said, Yo, you
Speaker 1: look healthy, Like this is what I look like when
Speaker 1: I'm focused on myself. Did the pandemic finally give you
Speaker 1: the opportunity to grieve? Steve's the right way. It definitely
Speaker 1: gave me opportunities. But I don't I don't know this,
Speaker 1: this this grieving. Is it a complete process? Does it
Speaker 1: get I don't know if it's a complete process, but
Speaker 1: I was gonna say when I listened to Survivors Guild,
Speaker 1: I feel like you have finally started processing yes, you know,
Speaker 1: yes his death. This is the first year where I
Speaker 1: definitely feel a little bit of peace, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. It's ten years later, but just with Steves Is,
Speaker 1: I'm still majorly grieving my cousin junior. Though, Julie, how
Speaker 1: are you processing it? Like? You know, did it make
Speaker 1: you look at Because I had a friend committed suicide
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty, and when she did that, it made
Speaker 1: me look at suicide differently. It definitely brought me to
Speaker 1: a very dark place. And you know me, I'm very intuitive.
Speaker 1: So something inside me told me because I remember coming
Speaker 1: from the funeral for me and CJ was on the
Speaker 1: way back to the crib and I remember telling him, like, yo, bro,
Speaker 1: we gotta be strong for everybody else because it's easy
Speaker 1: to fall right now. And I got pulled into that.
Speaker 1: Even after saying it, even after having that a witness
Speaker 1: and that understanding that I couldn't go there, I still
Speaker 1: got sucked into that. You know what, I mean, it
Speaker 1: brought me at a very low place. I was depressed,
Speaker 1: like I felt so many ways. I'm like, damn, like
Speaker 1: seventeen years old, Like I know so many people were
Speaker 1: so much older than me, and they've never lost somebody
Speaker 1: this close to them, you know what I mean. It
Speaker 1: was just it was a lot of unsettling emotions and
Speaker 1: feelings and at the same time, dealing with fame for
Speaker 1: the first time, dealing with you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like the ills of that it was bubbed. That's a
Speaker 1: natural though. I'm sure your therapist told you that you
Speaker 1: gotta light up to feel your feels like yeah, and
Speaker 1: that's what I realized too. Like, first of all, I'm
Speaker 1: grateful for the fact that I was able to put
Speaker 1: a lot of my trauma off because I was so busy,
Speaker 1: Because I don't know what I would have did with
Speaker 1: that idle time, you know what I mean. Like I
Speaker 1: was highly depressed, Like I felt suicidal all of that,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like I was very convinced
Speaker 1: that I wasn't gonna live past twenty five, Like at
Speaker 1: seventeen eighteen, I was very convinced to that. I'm like,
Speaker 1: there's no way, like I didn't see life after twenty five.
Speaker 1: Even when I turned twenty five, I was a mind
Speaker 1: for me because I'm like, damn, I did not visualize
Speaker 1: life this far. Wow. And then right there I drew
Speaker 1: up a twenty year plan. Did you look at suicide
Speaker 1: differently because a lot of people, especially in New York.
Speaker 1: It's probably all over the world, but especially in New York.
Speaker 1: When growing up as a kid, when you think of suicide,
Speaker 1: the first thing that people think is your soul for
Speaker 1: your week. But then when you start having those emotions
Speaker 1: in that feeling, you realize far from that. First of all,
Speaker 1: it's weird to say this, but like I think suicide
Speaker 1: is a incredibly brave thing. You have to have a
Speaker 1: lot of audacity to do that to yourself, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And then it's like to withstand that
Speaker 1: pain or whichever way, like you know, like it's heavy,
Speaker 1: but it's like there's nothing soft about that, nothing at all,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Like I remember when I
Speaker 1: was at that point, I'm feeling low, and like as
Speaker 1: low as I was feeling, as convinced I was that
Speaker 1: like I didn't really want to live. I couldn't find
Speaker 1: that courage to actually do it. My home girl, Jazz
Speaker 1: rest in peace. She did it in twenty twenties, completed suicide.
Speaker 1: That's what they say to say shanty dusk. But Jazz
Speaker 1: said she was so intentional and so calculated and so
Speaker 1: strategic that when she did it, in my mind, I
Speaker 1: processed it like she just knew it was her time
Speaker 1: to go, Like, you know, I've never had that feeling
Speaker 1: like it's time for me to exit, you know. But
Speaker 1: even if you go look at her Twitter, she was
Speaker 1: saying things like I wonder what my next life is
Speaker 1: gonna be like and thinks like that. So something came
Speaker 1: over her wh she knew today is my day. You know. Steve.
Speaker 1: It was the same way with Steve's you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like he definitely was vocal about it leading
Speaker 1: up to it happening, you know what I'm saying, And
Speaker 1: like when it was just it was weird man where
Speaker 1: the deported buying that new portion nine eleven? Did it
Speaker 1: really help your mental health? As you say, yeah, a
Speaker 1: little bit, you know what I'm saying, Because sometimes you
Speaker 1: gotta show yourself like what you can like achieved like
Speaker 1: it with it being a superficial item and a material thing.
Speaker 1: To me, it more represented me having a goal, you know,
Speaker 1: and me proving myself once again, like anything that's possible,
Speaker 1: Like that was my dream car and I could have
Speaker 1: got it for a long time, but then one day
Speaker 1: I just decided, y'all a do it, And yeah, it
Speaker 1: really did something for my state of being, my state
Speaker 1: of mind, you know what I'm saying, Like I had
Speaker 1: to prove to myself, like I know, all I gotta
Speaker 1: do is be connected to the source. But the poor Now,
Speaker 1: what I love about you, Joey Man, is like when
Speaker 1: when you see a black man doing the work it
Speaker 1: does reflecting his life, It reflecting the way he looks
Speaker 1: and reflecting his career professionally. Just probably your best body
Speaker 1: of work album way you see what you're doing in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: So that's why, man, when I see you, when I
Speaker 1: see that and I hear you telling these stories about
Speaker 1: going to therapy and everything, I'm like, that's gonna convince
Speaker 1: so many more black men to go go do the work. Absolutely. Man.
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, I always probabe myself on being
Speaker 1: some type of role model because it's like with this
Speaker 1: position I got with this stature with this platform. It's like,
Speaker 1: I got so many people listening, and I feel like
Speaker 1: the least I could do is implant seeds that will sprout, like,
Speaker 1: you know, more opportunity for these people, or just you know,
Speaker 1: wisdom that will transmute into the right directions for these
Speaker 1: people and stuff like that, and also just making them
Speaker 1: not feel alone. Like I realized that, like my most
Speaker 1: relatable work is my most vulnerable work, and usually when
Speaker 1: I go there like a survivors guilt or show me,
Speaker 1: people relate to that more. Let's get into a joint
Speaker 1: off the album what you want to hear bro on
Speaker 1: this head, where I belong, Where I belong. We appreciate
Speaker 1: you for Joey Badass Man, keep growing, my brother, Joey Badass.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is the Rumor
Speaker 1: Report with Angela. Years well. Chris Brown went on social
Speaker 1: media yesterday. He went on his Instagram story and he
Speaker 1: asked people, do you think I've done enough to get
Speaker 1: a Hollywood star? So a lot of people responded thinking
Speaker 1: that he already had one, wondering why he would not
Speaker 1: have one. And the criteria for a star includes professional achievement, longevity,
Speaker 1: and the category of five years or more contributions to
Speaker 1: the community, and the guarantee that the celebrity will attend
Speaker 1: the dedication ceremony if selected. Yeah. Absolutely, Chris Brown did
Speaker 1: so much for this culture. Absolutely deserved one. I'm surprised,
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't know. I didn't know Biggie didn't
Speaker 1: have one. I didn't know Notorious, you know, I don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know what the criteria is, but it just
Speaker 1: seems to me like it's something that I guess you
Speaker 1: get over time because I look at people that are
Speaker 1: getting them, like you know, Mary J. Blide is just recently,
Speaker 1: Shanty Callide just got one, Nipsey Hustle just got Yeah. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's a process to it. You have to you have
Speaker 1: to submit for it. They just don't give it to
Speaker 1: You have to submit for it. Somebody on your team
Speaker 1: or a celebrity or somebody has to put your name
Speaker 1: I guess not not in the hat, but they have to,
Speaker 1: you know, submit and then you're nominated for that. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: But I didn't get all this real estate to keep
Speaker 1: putting all these stars down because I would walk down
Speaker 1: that boulevard before. It don't seem like it's that many
Speaker 1: that much block. Well just have different blocks, different areas,
Speaker 1: Like some might be in front of this area, some
Speaker 1: might be in front of that area. But it's you
Speaker 1: know what it's like. So that's huge. They should do
Speaker 1: one in New York. I thought they should always do
Speaker 1: one in New York too. I thought that would be
Speaker 1: dope too. Be gum all over it all right now,
Speaker 1: pigeon Pool, It's all good. Rat Who Trailer has responded
Speaker 1: to Swizz and Timberland's twenty eight million dollar lawsuits and
Speaker 1: so the statement was obtained by TMZ and according to
Speaker 1: the statement, Trailer saying that both Swizz and Timberland have
Speaker 1: already collected over fifty million dollars in cash and stock
Speaker 1: after selling them their idea. But they're saying that they
Speaker 1: have to fulfill a versus quota and that's what is
Speaker 1: resulting in the dispute. They said, this is not a
Speaker 1: feud over versus, but simply about earnout payments to Swizz
Speaker 1: and Tim. Swizz and Tim have personally been paid by
Speaker 1: Trailer over fifty million in cash and stock to date,
Speaker 1: and they stand to benefit even more over time. And addition,
Speaker 1: they have annual obligations which have met and no breach
Speaker 1: has occurred, entitles them to additional payments. Only one payment
Speaker 1: of ten million dollars is in question. We do not
Speaker 1: believe they have met the thresholds for that payment yet,
Speaker 1: which include, but are not limited to, delivery of a
Speaker 1: set number of Versus events for twenty twenty two. We
Speaker 1: have been trying to resolve this amicably and this does
Speaker 1: not affect Versus operations or Trailer's ownership of Versus. If
Speaker 1: this does, preceding court, we look to a judgment that
Speaker 1: weighs all the facts. You know. I saw people yesterday saying, um,
Speaker 1: this is why you know. Swits and Tim, you know
Speaker 1: should have kept it to themselves and they should have
Speaker 1: never went corporate blas they blash. No, Swits and Tim
Speaker 1: built something during COVID and they sold it. I'm not
Speaker 1: mad at them forgetting that money, and I'm not mad
Speaker 1: at the artists that they put money in their pockets
Speaker 1: as well too, So I think they succeed if you
Speaker 1: ask me now. Ti is responding to Drew from the
Speaker 1: chain Smoker saying that he was punched in the face
Speaker 1: because he kissed Ti on the cheek. If you'll recall,
Speaker 1: here's what happened. We're on a vibe and I was like,
Speaker 1: A gave my kissing the cheek, told me my fault,
Speaker 1: and he was like, don't do that. I was like, okay.
Speaker 1: He crushed me off and I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: my bad. His friend goes, you need to get your boy,
Speaker 1: and I go, what, I don't even know what happened.
Speaker 1: Punch me in the face and I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, and he was like, all right, cool, We're good.
Speaker 1: It was the weirdest and action ever because like I'm
Speaker 1: sure like he did the coolest thing ever. And then
Speaker 1: you kiss. First of all, TI is fully in the
Speaker 1: right here. I was like, I was like feeling I
Speaker 1: was feeling the vibes weighs too hard, and I kissed
Speaker 1: TI on the cheese one for it. All right. Well,
Speaker 1: here's what t I had to say in a response
Speaker 1: to Drew. But I love to change Smoker man made
Speaker 1: great music. He made great music. You know. I think
Speaker 1: I think the most important thing to to to take
Speaker 1: away is afterwards we had a drink, we took a shot,
Speaker 1: and now I mean and we moved on. You know,
Speaker 1: everybody you know left, Like I said, love to change,
Speaker 1: not to get no sugar though you know what I'm
Speaker 1: saying that no, you know, no sugar. No buddy, still
Speaker 1: a fan a matter of fact. But little the head
Speaker 1: you guys is perdiciously, you know what I'm saying. If
Speaker 1: you can find you can find the time for to
Speaker 1: sit at and chop it up man that little to
Speaker 1: kick it with you. If y'all got some time on
Speaker 1: your hand. Man, you know, listen, you know, let's catch back.
Speaker 1: Not to get no sugar. Though I'd love to change smoke,
Speaker 1: It's just not enough to get no sugar. That's why
Speaker 1: I'd be trying to be to you. If some guy
Speaker 1: kissed you on the cheek, You said, what would it
Speaker 1: be weird to you? Like? Would you react if a
Speaker 1: guy kissed you on the cheek somebody? I haven't when
Speaker 1: it happened to know, like a week ago, somebody kissed
Speaker 1: me and Charlemagne on the cheek, Kevin Gates. Kevin Gates
Speaker 1: always kiss on kisses on the cheek. You know, I
Speaker 1: gotta tali you in homies that have kissed me on
Speaker 1: the cheek. I never thought anything of it, to be
Speaker 1: honest with me, neither. But if it's just kicking it
Speaker 1: at a club and whatever, and then just out of nowhere,
Speaker 1: not like a greeting. What are you talking about? Like
Speaker 1: just hey like that. Yeah, that won't be kissing me
Speaker 1: if you don't know me. Now, Like the people I'm
Speaker 1: talking about actually knew they know me, so it's different.
Speaker 1: Yeah he knew them, right, they was all hanging out.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're right. I don't know. I guess, it
Speaker 1: just depends how you try to do it. It's just different,
Speaker 1: like when somebody gives you, like when Kevin Gates gives
Speaker 1: you a dapt he leans in. I'm I've been knowing
Speaker 1: him for why I expected, I guess, and he does it.
Speaker 1: I don't think nothing of it. Yeah, one of the
Speaker 1: Italian home he to do it. I don't think nothing
Speaker 1: of it. But so, how how would you want somebody
Speaker 1: to kiss you in the cheek then telling them I
Speaker 1: ain't given you no ideas and nobody'll ever kiss you
Speaker 1: on the cheek because they'll get black stuff all over
Speaker 1: their lips because of that Beijing you got in your beard.
Speaker 1: I don't know have Beijing. My answer, well, just for men,
Speaker 1: whatever the hell kind of diet is all right? Get
Speaker 1: it right? That is you're a report. You know you're
Speaker 1: you know, next time I say, I'm gonna kss you
Speaker 1: on your forhead just because of that. You know that
Speaker 1: It isn't you just wanted an excuse to kive me
Speaker 1: one for ahead. It isn't amazing. It is amazing to
Speaker 1: me that people want to swist and tim to uh,
Speaker 1: you know, keep doing versus for free. Like keep it
Speaker 1: in the culture, that's what they were saying. But but
Speaker 1: keep it in the coach you to do what like
Speaker 1: y'all just want to be entertained for free? Now that
Speaker 1: makes no sense. But not only that, you know, they
Speaker 1: actually they pay the artists. Now, like the artist we
Speaker 1: get paid. They put on a show. It's a productions,
Speaker 1: so people have to get paid, those lights that do
Speaker 1: that venue, the artist performing for over an hour, Like
Speaker 1: that's not free. They pay that, And I think that's dope. Yea.
Speaker 1: They built something on Instagram during COVID and sold it
Speaker 1: and you know, according to Triller, have walked away with
Speaker 1: fifty million dollars for something that they were doing on
Speaker 1: Instagram for fun. Yeah, now artists are getting getting paid,
Speaker 1: Like I don't you know, people are strange. I don't know.
Speaker 1: What people want from people. No more who you're giving

Speaker 1: club bitches. All right, fren, please tell me why was
Speaker 1: I your Donkey of the Day? Wow? Donkey to Day
Speaker 1: for Thursday, August eighteen goes the Laurel Cinematic Arts and
Speaker 1: Creative Technologies. That is a school that goes from kindergarten
Speaker 1: to eighth grade in West Hollywood, California, that, according to
Speaker 1: the description, provides children with rigorous and engaging learning experiences
Speaker 1: that promote individual expression through the Cinematic Arts and Creative technologies.
Speaker 1: Sounds funny and entertaining, right, but hold up, wait a minute.
Speaker 1: The Los Angeles Times is reporting that they are getting
Speaker 1: sued by a black mother named rashawnd De Pitch Drop
Speaker 1: on a Clue's bomb for rashawnd De pitch Okayshawanda has
Speaker 1: fired a lawsuit on behalf of her daughter after she
Speaker 1: discovered her elementary school created a cotton field to get
Speaker 1: students to identify with the real life experience of African
Speaker 1: American slaves. Black people. Let's all collectively sigh, I know,
Speaker 1: I know, we tied the people playing with us the
Speaker 1: way they would never think to play with any other community.
Speaker 1: In her suit, rashaand depicts alleged she dropped off her
Speaker 1: now fourteen year old daughter when she called a glimpse
Speaker 1: at what appeared to be a cotton field in the
Speaker 1: front of the school. You know what. Her next three
Speaker 1: words were, Oh hell no, Okay, word demya from girlfriends.
Speaker 1: All right, Golden Brooks, that's a girlfriend's friends still out
Speaker 1: here looking for closure. Okay, we hate how that amazing
Speaker 1: show ended, but let me stick to what we're here for.
Speaker 1: Rashonda uttered those three words, oh hell no, and then
Speaker 1: she did what any black mother would do. She requested
Speaker 1: to speak to whoever's in charge. In this case, it
Speaker 1: was the principal Amy d As. The principal Amy was
Speaker 1: unable to speak to Rashonda, but Rashonda they did get
Speaker 1: to speak to the assistant principle, Brian when nets Nowski,
Speaker 1: I know, I'm pronouncing that name all wrong. And this
Speaker 1: fool tried to explain the ration now behind the project,
Speaker 1: he said, and this is all according to the La
Speaker 1: Times I quote. The class was reading the autobiography of
Speaker 1: Frederick Douglas in picking cotton was one of the experiences
Speaker 1: that he wrote about. The whold Lord man, let me
Speaker 1: take a sip of my water, because I too have
Speaker 1: read the autobiography of Frederick Douglas. In fact, the Homie
Speaker 1: Evande K. Williams bought me that as a gift one
Speaker 1: strop on the cous moms for Ebdek Willims. And there
Speaker 1: was a lot of other things Frederick Douglas wrote about it, okay,
Speaker 1: and the main takeaway to meet from the book was
Speaker 1: having a belief in yourself, self determination, encourage, and above
Speaker 1: all else, educating yourself. Frederick Douglass spoke about how white
Speaker 1: slave holders perpetuated slavery by keeping their slaves ignorant. Okay,
Speaker 1: because you gotta think. At the time Frederick Douglas wrote
Speaker 1: this book, many people believe that slavery was a natural
Speaker 1: state of being, you know. They just thought black people
Speaker 1: would naturally Paul Broke, busted and disgusted. But Frederick Douglas
Speaker 1: knew better, and that's why he went so hard to
Speaker 1: become literate. He believed education was the key to freedom
Speaker 1: and all of this helped Frederick Douglass to escape bondage
Speaker 1: and transcend his circumstances to become one of the nation's
Speaker 1: most powerful voices. Okay, especially against human bondage. Why you
Speaker 1: ain't teach them kids, Dad? Huh? Why you didn't teach
Speaker 1: teach them kids? You know that being an intellectual is
Speaker 1: not only their right, but an act of rebellion against
Speaker 1: the wicked system. No, you want these kids to think
Speaker 1: that all they're good for is to be a bunch
Speaker 1: of cat and picking niggas. You would never remind them
Speaker 1: of their greatness and their ability to overcome any white
Speaker 1: supremacist obstacle. Okay, rashon to pitch, you have every right
Speaker 1: to be completely pissed off about the idea that the
Speaker 1: Laurel School would have your daughter and other children pick
Speaker 1: cotton as a school exercise that identified with the real
Speaker 1: life experiences of African American slaves. When I tell you,
Speaker 1: they would never ever play with Jewish people like this.
Speaker 1: They would never set up a Nazi concentration camp to
Speaker 1: give people the real life experience of Jewish people during
Speaker 1: the Holocaust. It would never happen. So why do they
Speaker 1: feel so comfortable playing with us? Rashaan did suing the
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Unified School District and Board of Education, claiming
Speaker 1: her daughter suffered emotional distress. And I believe her because
Speaker 1: this situation has caused me emotional distress too. I got
Speaker 1: gash right now. I've been farting ever since I heard
Speaker 1: this story, and you know I don't fart in my clothes.
Speaker 1: You know how difficult it is to do a radio
Speaker 1: show and in between bricks have to go in the
Speaker 1: bathroom just to pull my pants down and fart. Ha. Now,
Speaker 1: the suit claims the la USD seemingly acknowledged the OJEC
Speaker 1: was discriminatory and harmful to the students. Wow, you think
Speaker 1: you think people say all the time, Charlomagne, you make
Speaker 1: everything about race. No, Charlomagne just acknowledges racism. I would
Speaker 1: love to not have to talk about race. But how
Speaker 1: how am I supposed to stop talking about race in
Speaker 1: a racist country? Okay? Anybody who can hear this story
Speaker 1: and not say to themselves, yeah, that's left up simply
Speaker 1: either does not have a soul or guess what you're
Speaker 1: probably are racist too. Please let Chelsea Handler give the
Speaker 1: Laurel Cinematic Arts and Creative Technology School the biggest he
Speaker 1: haw he haw, he haw. That is way too much.
Speaker 1: Dan Mann is well, my girl, Kathy griffinet giant jar male,
Speaker 1: the biggest he ha. What about Christopher Rock? Does Christopher
Speaker 1: Rock want to chime in? I know you think it's
Speaker 1: so racist to call someone a crack ass cracker. It
Speaker 1: is not in this case, it is descriptive. Anybody else
Speaker 1: got something to say? Right, y'all have a blessed day.
Speaker 1: My name is Leonard Kelby, Charlotmagne and Garden, Uncle Charlotte.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna thank you Leonardo. Up next, ask
Speaker 1: ye if you need relationship advice to any type of advice?

Speaker 1: I want to ask you, would you find like if
Speaker 1: you had a boyfriend you don't your man ended up
Speaker 1: having a child. Would you be offended if he asked
Speaker 1: for a DNA church before he signed? Um? Would I
Speaker 1: be offended? Honestly? Yes? But would I understand. Yes, So
Speaker 1: I would say I get it, but I would be
Speaker 1: offended and it probably would make me feel like, damn,
Speaker 1: that's how you look at me. But I understand it
Speaker 1: not necessarily. But would you like look at it as
Speaker 1: like a way to protecting himself because there's people out
Speaker 1: there they don't have kids, you know what I think,
Speaker 1: because you know that they thought it was real between
Speaker 1: the two and blah blah, try to build a family.
Speaker 1: Then they go this separate way but still being a life,
Speaker 1: but end up not being the child, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, being the father of the child. So it's
Speaker 1: like not necessarily a security blanket. I can completely understand that,
Speaker 1: and in a way I kind of feel like that
Speaker 1: should be something that gets done automatically. But I can
Speaker 1: also understand as a human being emotionally, how that would
Speaker 1: make me feel. You know. So I'm not saying that
Speaker 1: you're wrong to do that, but I do think that
Speaker 1: somebody would take offense to that, Like then you start thinking,
Speaker 1: is he doing something? Why does he think I'm doing something?
Speaker 1: Have I done something? Is something wrong with that relationship?
Speaker 1: And it may not be those things, but you definitely
Speaker 1: would think it and maybe act a little funny. All right, well,
Speaker 1: thank you, no problem. Do what you gotta do though,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, most definitely. All right, all right, we got
Speaker 1: more ask you when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne
Speaker 1: the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still in
Speaker 1: the middle of asking he Hello, who's this? This is Peter? Hey, Peter,
Speaker 1: what's your question for asking? How are you doing today?
Speaker 1: I'm doing well? How are you? Oh? Well, what's up?
Speaker 1: Charlotta Magne? What's up? Yo? Bro? Like, be real with y'all. Man,
Speaker 1: y'all have uplifted my life you because you guys told
Speaker 1: me like about like generational wealth and all of that.
Speaker 1: I bought a house with my ex now and now
Speaker 1: I'm in this house by myself. I guess I lost
Speaker 1: my job, my ex things like he's moving on and
Speaker 1: right now. To be honest with you, the question I
Speaker 1: as is with me moving towards greatness? How can I
Speaker 1: stay infirming it? Because I have to look for a job.
Speaker 1: I'm single again. I don't know what to do. I'm
Speaker 1: like really lost, like, but I know I have a
Speaker 1: goal as far as my music and my writing and
Speaker 1: my producing skills. I just need to know, like what
Speaker 1: do I do? What do I do in a moment
Speaker 1: where I just don't know what to do? Right? I
Speaker 1: think that sometimes we can think so much about things
Speaker 1: that it causes us to not act. As we're so
Speaker 1: busy thinking about all the problems that we have and
Speaker 1: things that we need to make happen instead of actually
Speaker 1: going out and making them happen. And let me ask
Speaker 1: you this, are you going to be able to keep
Speaker 1: this house that you guys bought? And is it only
Speaker 1: in your name? It's only in my name because of
Speaker 1: the But that's a plus. Yeah, And I'm I mean,
Speaker 1: even though I lost my job last week, unemployment is
Speaker 1: like I'm a I'm going to be able to handle
Speaker 1: my bills for some months at least. Maybe that is
Speaker 1: a blessing because of y'all, because of you and DJ Envy,
Speaker 1: no offense, Charlemagne, but because of y'all. Like talking about
Speaker 1: real estate, I worked my way into it and now
Speaker 1: I'm just like I'm stuck. I shouldn't. I feel like
Speaker 1: I should have never I should have never liked gone
Speaker 1: into buying a house with somebody that I wasn't married
Speaker 1: to all right, well, look it's in't your name, so
Speaker 1: y'all did not really buy a house together. It's yours
Speaker 1: number one, So it's not anything that has to be
Speaker 1: split up. Now this is your responsibility, and like you said,
Speaker 1: you'll be able to take care of it. You just
Speaker 1: lost your job last week, so you can give yourself
Speaker 1: a moment and cut yourself some slack. I remember when
Speaker 1: I was on unemployment. I had been working forever, you know,
Speaker 1: since I was a teenager, and so I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: now take a month or two to figure out what
Speaker 1: it is that I want to do next in my
Speaker 1: life and get myself back together. Fortunately, you can afford
Speaker 1: to do that, like you said, because you do have
Speaker 1: unemployment taking care of your bills for you. So give
Speaker 1: yourself a moment. Like, you just lost your job last week.
Speaker 1: You know you're out of a relationship. I had a
Speaker 1: really similar situation. That's the best time to take a
Speaker 1: risk and be really selfish too, right when you don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about somebody else, it's just you, and
Speaker 1: so now you can say, okay, now I can just
Speaker 1: go for whatever it is that I wanted to go
Speaker 1: for whatever whatever I was scared of, whatever was holding
Speaker 1: me back. Now it's the time to go for it.
Speaker 1: The slate is clear, yo. You know what, I appreciate
Speaker 1: that because I just bought an iMac book, you know,
Speaker 1: install logic to it or whatever, and like, I'm doing
Speaker 1: everything that I can right now in order to, you know,
Speaker 1: make sure I have a successful life. But it's hard,
Speaker 1: and I'm hearing what you're saying, but it's really hard.
Speaker 1: And give yourself some grace in a moment. You're a
Speaker 1: human being. You went through a lot of different things simultaneously,
Speaker 1: so I do feel like, yes, figure it out. Every day,
Speaker 1: give yourself some actionable things that you can do. Whether
Speaker 1: it's getting back in contact with people that can be beneficial,
Speaker 1: whether it's you finding some job openings, whether it's you
Speaker 1: updating your resume. Just every day, make sure you do something,
Speaker 1: but also give yourself a break. It's okay for you
Speaker 1: to have a moment where you got to take care
Speaker 1: of yourself mentally and not have to feel like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I lost my job. I have to be
Speaker 1: doing this. I'm single now now I have this house
Speaker 1: by myself. No, you have a house in your name
Speaker 1: and not the other person's name, that you don't have
Speaker 1: to worry about getting someone off the house, paying them out,
Speaker 1: nothing like that. You have your bills that you know
Speaker 1: you can handle for now, and now you have a
Speaker 1: little bit of time to get it together and find
Speaker 1: out what it is that you need to do. And
Speaker 1: I also feel like it is hard to go through
Speaker 1: a breakup and also not be as busy right because
Speaker 1: when you spend so much time thinking about it, maybe
Speaker 1: you're stalking his social media pages, this person doing. Give
Speaker 1: yourself some things to do, even if it's not a
Speaker 1: paid job. Give yourself some things to do that are
Speaker 1: important to you so that you're not just say you know,
Speaker 1: maybe I want I'm sorry, I wanted to get and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be I'm gonna leave you alone. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: let you finish off because I know how you guys are.
Speaker 1: But I know how you are. You a patient. That's
Speaker 1: why I can't wait for your radio show. But I
Speaker 1: love Charlemagne and Dja every they might they might do,
Speaker 1: so that'd be great, amazing. Yeah, Like my thing is
Speaker 1: I yo, like Charlemagne, I don't mean no harm Angela.
Speaker 1: I gotta just shoot over and I appreciate your life,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna take that advice. Charlemagne man, right, well,
Speaker 1: check back in. Is there is there any way I
Speaker 1: can check back in? Yeah, jes hit us um hit
Speaker 1: us up on the email. I wasn't. I wasn't trying
Speaker 1: to get you off. I just wanted to let Charlemagne
Speaker 1: know that at the end of the day, like Bro,
Speaker 1: I started listening to are in twenty fifteen and I
Speaker 1: didn't like you. But I will say this, you mainly
Speaker 1: love you. And I'm a black gay man who is
Speaker 1: not the average black gay man. And you, I know
Speaker 1: you appreciate the gay community and I appreciate you for that. Right,
Speaker 1: I love you too. And I and I'm in and
Speaker 1: I'm in um and I'm in. I'm in therapy again
Speaker 1: because it is that's amazing. I'm happy for you. Keep
Speaker 1: doing the work on yourself. King. Well, yeah, Peter, please
Speaker 1: check back in. I would love to hear an update
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. All that was ask ye
Speaker 1: eight hundred five eight five one on five one. Now
Speaker 1: we got rumors on the way, all right, and when
Speaker 1: we come back. Rick Ross responds to Wingstop labor violation
Speaker 1: to but tell you what he said. I will get
Speaker 1: into that next. You don't move. It's the breakfast club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, the breakfast club. It's about the rumor report.
Speaker 1: Angela ye on the breakfast club. All right, Well, we
Speaker 1: talked about Rick Ross and some of the violations that
Speaker 1: he had labor law violations at five wingstop locations in Mississippi,
Speaker 1: and he has address taking accountability. Here's what he said.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take time to address something. When you run
Speaker 1: in the business, there will be mistakes, but it's the
Speaker 1: biggest foss. You never made the same mistake twice. You see,
Speaker 1: taking accountability when you get biggest. And remember this, most
Speaker 1: successful people don't take stumbling as a setback, but actually
Speaker 1: a stepping stone, a graded thing. Germany, so the Department
Speaker 1: of Labor Wage in our division revealed they collected over
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand dollars in back wages, liquidated damages, and
Speaker 1: civil penalties. According to these reports, they were saying that
Speaker 1: employees had to illegally pay for training, uniform safety training,
Speaker 1: background techs, and even cash register shortages. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: what we said. Yesterday's business like he got franchises, Things
Speaker 1: like this gonna happen, you know, it's just magnified because
Speaker 1: it's Rick Ross. Like all these franchises were freaking all
Speaker 1: the time, frequent all the time. You have no idea
Speaker 1: who owned them, but I guarantee you they'd be having
Speaker 1: these same kind of problems. But if it was a celebrity,
Speaker 1: every business problem they had would be would be magnified
Speaker 1: like they did with Ross. The situation all right. Now,
Speaker 1: Mary J. Blige who was discussing the state of R
Speaker 1: and B with Diddy, and now Didd he had posted
Speaker 1: on social media who killed R and B? And then
Speaker 1: he was alive with Mary J. Blige And here's what
Speaker 1: Mary had to say that Now that's in the call
Speaker 1: that they want to call a popular music with Adele
Speaker 1: and Justin Timberlay get a hold to it. So that
Speaker 1: was popular music, you know what I'm saying. But it's
Speaker 1: been popular music. We've been had it, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: no without a debt. So now, what's happening I think
Speaker 1: is people are afraid to feel things. You know, it's
Speaker 1: so much desensitizing going on, you know, That's that's what
Speaker 1: I think is happening. Like people are just afraid to
Speaker 1: feel because they think they think it's gonna kill. I'm not.
Speaker 1: It's just fun. It's just fun to heal you m
Speaker 1: that's a fact, right, Mary Yell Sam Smith. They do
Speaker 1: R and B and it doesn't get called that. They
Speaker 1: call it pop music. You know, So you're not acknowledging
Speaker 1: the genre of R and B when the reality is
Speaker 1: hip hop and R and B is pop music because
Speaker 1: pop is just short for popular. We've been too most
Speaker 1: popular genres. H all right now, Ninny Leaks has gotten
Speaker 1: a Brazilian but left the BBL, and so she did
Speaker 1: that plus Lyposection. She put out a video announcing the news,
Speaker 1: and apparently she was not a fan of the traditional BBL.
Speaker 1: She said they came up with a professional mini BBL.
Speaker 1: She said, I'm only looking to fix my problem areas,
Speaker 1: so we called in a professional mini BBL and I
Speaker 1: love it. So I'm gonna take you on this journey
Speaker 1: with me and doctor A Caro to fix some of
Speaker 1: my problem areas and become perfectly you come follow me
Speaker 1: on this journey of Lyposection three sixty and professional mini
Speaker 1: bed out which Chomagne see did you get a mini
Speaker 1: Charlomagne on full? I don't need one bro just all
Speaker 1: natural overhead baby I'm organic, you know what I'm saying it.
Speaker 1: Ever since I put my measurements out there, you and
Speaker 1: that that little producer of alls named Taylor been very jealous. Okay,
Speaker 1: I am a natural forty one, thirty six, forty three.
Speaker 1: No disrespect anybody who gets to bbls and stuff. But
Speaker 1: your uncle Charlotte don't need one. Okay. Why don't you
Speaker 1: talk about your cheek in plants though I paid for
Speaker 1: in mine? You know, you know he got cheek in plants, right, ye? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I heard about it, yep. And then Ken Kevin Kevin
Speaker 1: Hard didn't point that out. Your cheeks was never that full.
Speaker 1: You got a little fill in those cheeks. It's okay though,
Speaker 1: he shut up all right now. Friday actress Angela Means
Speaker 1: was upset. She did an interview with Comedy Hype and
Speaker 1: she played Felicia and Friday. So you know by Felicia,
Speaker 1: you know that part, well, she doesn't understand, Yeah, her
Speaker 1: character in the movie house. She was treated so badly.
Speaker 1: Here's what she had to say. Why was there so
Speaker 1: much hate for such an obviously beautiful woman? Kind didn't
Speaker 1: you didn't hear her using any fanity? Why would they
Speaker 1: be so unkind to you know, a family member. No
Speaker 1: one defend to her. And I've asked this question for
Speaker 1: thirty years. Why is it so easy for us to
Speaker 1: dismiss each other like that? Even even to this day,
Speaker 1: I'll see people saying, you know, um buy you dirty bitch,
Speaker 1: You umb bitch, you dumb bitch. No, not one time,
Speaker 1: not even the mother said Hey, it's Felicia. I wonder,
Speaker 1: I wonder, I wonder what's going on with her? That
Speaker 1: is a damn lie. That is a damn lie. Her
Speaker 1: sister came to her defense at the end of the
Speaker 1: movie because Debo was putting hands on her, and she
Speaker 1: ran down on Debo and told Deebo, all these other
Speaker 1: people may be scared of you, but I'm not scared
Speaker 1: of you. That's how Debo and Craig got into the
Speaker 1: fight to begin with. Why it's up with people? Man? Well,
Speaker 1: she said she was publicly harassed after playing that role.
Speaker 1: As well, it's a movie. And by the way, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't know if I saw her in the street like
Speaker 1: she don't. I'm sure she doesn't look like a crackhead
Speaker 1: in everyday life. She was playing a crackhead in the movie. Correct,
Speaker 1: that's the whole point. She was an annoying crackhead. She
Speaker 1: was an annoying crackhead who was always begging thing, begging
Speaker 1: for things. That's why Craig would dismiss her like that
Speaker 1: and be like, bye, Felicia, because she was always begging
Speaker 1: for stuff. Come on, man, like, oh my god, whatever
Speaker 1: we're supposed to be fake out, y'all gonna beaut Actually,
Speaker 1: she actually was crying and everything during It's a movie.
Speaker 1: She's an actress a movie. She was acting and once
Speaker 1: again Nia Long's character, her sister did come to her
Speaker 1: defense at the end of the movie, and nobody treated
Speaker 1: Felicia bad in the movie. She was a crack issue.
Speaker 1: The role was that of an annoying crackhead. The whole
Speaker 1: point was for her to be dismissed throughout the movie.
