Speaker 6: Ruligan, Hey y'all. Hey, well, welcome back. It feels good
Speaker 6: to be back. So let's get into it. First step
Speaker 6: on front page. Yesterday was Memorial Day and President Trump
Speaker 6: honored those who gave their lives serving in the military.
Speaker 6: He visited Arlington National Cemetery to mark the occasion and
Speaker 6: participated in the reath laying ceremony at the tomb of
Speaker 6: the Unknown Soldier before delivering remarks. Now, he said, he
Speaker 6: that he, of course, and we would be lost without
Speaker 6: our service members, while also honoring gold Star families.
Speaker 7: Just take a listen to his comments.
Speaker 8: And every hour of peril and every moment of crisis,
Speaker 8: American warriors have left behind the blessings of home and
Speaker 8: family to answer.
Speaker 2: Their nation's call.
Speaker 9: They've offered all that.
Speaker 8: They had within them and given their last breaths to
Speaker 8: each and every one of us, that we might live safe.
Speaker 8: Every ghost, our family fight, say battle long after the
Speaker 8: victory is won, and today we lift you up and
Speaker 8: we hold you high.
Speaker 2: He must have took it marriage.
Speaker 10: Then.
Speaker 3: That was team compared to what he put on social
Speaker 3: media when he said Happy Memorial Day to all, including
Speaker 3: the scum that spent the last four years to destroy
Speaker 3: our country through warped radical left minds.
Speaker 2: Man got cancer. You're just still shooting at it.
Speaker 1: You know, we just don't care.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's that's crazy.
Speaker 6: But Trump did say that we're sharing this all with
Speaker 6: the families of fallen service members. He added that those
Speaker 6: service members gave everything and asked for nothing. And I
Speaker 6: like to take it a step further, and you know,
Speaker 6: to those who have lost someone that has served, we
Speaker 6: continue to salute their service and sacrifice because we know
Speaker 6: for you, every day is Memorial Day. So but moving on.
Speaker 6: In unfortunate news, this comes as a congress member. We're
Speaker 6: mourning the loss of a congress member, former New York
Speaker 6: representative and Korean War veteran, Charlie Raanjel, who died eighth
Speaker 6: rangele is okay, Well, you guys know, y'all in New York.
Speaker 6: So Rango, often referred to as the Lion of Harlem,
Speaker 6: died on Memorial Day surrounded by family. He was elected
Speaker 6: to Congress in nineteen seventy one, where he served for
Speaker 6: forty six years, becoming the House Ways and Means Chairman
Speaker 6: in two thousand. He was the primary sponsor of forty
Speaker 6: bills during his tenure, including President Obama's Affordable Care Act,
Speaker 6: the Low Income Housing Tax Credit, and the so called
Speaker 6: rang you called it Wrango Amendment aimed at ending apartheid
Speaker 6: in South Africa. Now, New York City Mayor Eric Adams
Speaker 6: it's saluting Wrangle as a true American and House Minority
Speaker 6: Leader Hakim Jeffries is calling him a trailblazer and champion
Speaker 6: for justice. Of course, right now there's no word or
Speaker 6: details surrounding his death or funeral arrangements, but of course
Speaker 6: we are continuing to mourn his loss, and we will
Speaker 6: mark the occasion, you know, by honoring him as well,
Speaker 6: considering the fact that he was a Korean War vet.
Speaker 6: But that's your front page news for six am. At
Speaker 6: seven am, we'll talk about President Trump and how he
Speaker 6: feels about current President of Vladimir Putin, Russian psident Vladimir
Speaker 6: Putin calling him absolutely crazy. And then we'll also get
Speaker 6: into the big beautiful Bill, because you know that's moving
Speaker 6: forward in the Senate right now.

Speaker 12: This tie with Omaha?
Speaker 2: Tanya from Omaha? What's up? Get it off your chest?
Speaker 1: Tanya?
Speaker 12: Hey, man, I just need to get off my chest.
Speaker 12: At our Omar police department are a bunch of in
Speaker 12: are a bunch of gang members.
Speaker 10: Man.
Speaker 12: They they they shoot and killing on black people with
Speaker 12: no accountability, with no transparency. Let us know what's going on.
Speaker 12: They released the body cam footage of an instant that
Speaker 12: that happened like three four days later. They shoot the
Speaker 12: man outside of his home. He just graduated high school.
Speaker 12: He was from I believe Sudan, and there's no accountability
Speaker 12: for it.
Speaker 4: We'll find.
Speaker 12: I'm not even gonna lie to you. I can't even
Speaker 12: pronounce it. I'm a butcher and he was from Sudan.
Speaker 12: It was a nineteen year old.
Speaker 1: And it was Janidi Ibrahim.
Speaker 2: It seems like.
Speaker 12: It, yeah, and he was like it was. It's crazy
Speaker 12: because like the police do this type of scess and
Speaker 12: then they fire him, but then they get hired up
Speaker 12: with the Sheriff's department. And that just happened in Omaha,
Speaker 12: Like it is not right they do. Omar police department
Speaker 12: just fired another cop and then he gets hired with
Speaker 12: the sheriff's department. He kills somebody for the no knock
Speaker 12: warrant and he was fired by the police department, but
Speaker 12: then I hire them with the Sheriff's department.

Speaker 12: here in Omaha. Like Obah really has a real problem
Speaker 12: and it's swept under the rug. Like I think it's
Speaker 12: because we're a republican state that the news just so
Speaker 12: they don't cover.
Speaker 13: It the right way.
Speaker 12: They don't and they try to make it seem like
Speaker 12: where the minorities here are the problem, when it's really
Speaker 12: it's also police force. We can't it's like really having
Speaker 12: like brave masters on our neck. Like you can't drive
Speaker 12: down here at a certain time without getting pulled over
Speaker 12: because you know, if you're driving at three o'clock in
Speaker 12: the morning, because I'll work in the morning, you gonna

Speaker 20: came with the result of hard work and dedication.
Speaker 12: My story, my family story.
Speaker 20: It's truly an American story. This would have only happened
Speaker 20: in America.
Speaker 3: Praise God. Janet Jackson, don't whisper no more. Remember when

Speaker 3: I want to think, remember when they used to do that.
Speaker 3: I'm so glad, Janna, don't think whisper no more. Jesus
Speaker 3: Michael that she did that to conserve of voice.
Speaker 18: I always thought it was like that too, but then
Speaker 18: I thought it was like, did something that happens in

Speaker 2: Because is Michael?
Speaker 4: Yeah to say that, but now you said Tasha Smith
Speaker 4: had the show, But yeah, the show. Yes she looked
Speaker 4: like Eminem, but no, she really They looked so good snatched.
Speaker 16: She looked amazing.
Speaker 18: But speaking of Eminem, uh, people were very upset last night.
Speaker 16: Eminem beat out some of the.
Speaker 18: Biggest Well he's a big hip hop artist, but Eminem
Speaker 18: beat out Drake, Kendrick, Lamar, Future Tyler, the creator for
Speaker 18: favorite male hip hop.
Speaker 16: Artists of last year of all time favorite male time.
Speaker 2: It can't be for last year.
Speaker 4: Favorite mal because slept on that Mad album. He had
Speaker 4: his last album.
Speaker 2: It was the name of the look on the album
Speaker 2: last year.
Speaker 16: Yes, he did have an I remember that.
Speaker 2: What I'm saying, it's no possim.
Speaker 4: Up here saying that that's.
Speaker 1: My favorite Kendrick's album. You got Drake's. There's so many
Speaker 1: different projects. Yes, no disrespect to Eminem, but yes, the.
Speaker 4: Death of Slim Shady, yes, Coop the Grace.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't go to that funeral.
Speaker 4: I didn't even know yo, like you did, yes funeral
Speaker 4: listen and it's the thing.
Speaker 1: He went so hard.
Speaker 4: He was talking about everything that a black person would
Speaker 4: have gotten in trouble for on on the album, like
Speaker 4: trans people gave people, people in wheelchairs coming to everybody.
Speaker 2: Was it bigger than Kindric album? No?
Speaker 4: No, hell no, wasn't bigger than Kendrick album.
Speaker 15: No?
Speaker 18: But so the according to Google, listen to it, it
Speaker 18: must be a voted award. According to Google, the eligibility period,
Speaker 18: the data tracking period for nominations typically covers a specific
Speaker 18: time frames such as March twenty second, twenty twenty four
Speaker 18: through March twenty twenty twenty five, which goes into the
Speaker 18: American Music Awards.
Speaker 16: That's what Google says to me.
Speaker 4: He said he's favorite hip hop artists at the twenty
Speaker 4: twenty I'm assuming it was for this year, but I
Speaker 4: know that there were a lot of people that were upset.
Speaker 16: They were you know they I think they.
Speaker 2: Bring in the car.
Speaker 1: Nick just said, AMA is a fan voted award. Okay,
Speaker 1: that but even no hold on.
Speaker 18: I mean, eminem has a huge fan base, but even here,
Speaker 18: right here says it goes off a fan interaction, fan.
Speaker 3: Voting and them old white men ain't on social media
Speaker 3: like that, not like Drake fans and Kendrick fans.
Speaker 4: Now right, I'm confused where they pulled the fans at
Speaker 4: fake Facebook and.
Speaker 16: Eminem is great.
Speaker 4: But Eminem is great, y'all.
Speaker 2: Y'all gotta listen.
Speaker 3: Listen.
Speaker 1: He even coming at there's no way in hell Eminem
Speaker 1: wins over the year.
Speaker 3: That's a very controversial album though if his fan voted,
Speaker 3: then his fans voted.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it just had to be a fan voting
Speaker 2: in the wards.
Speaker 4: It's just a lot of that flew under the radar
Speaker 4: because of the Kendrick and we had a lot of
Speaker 4: the things to worry about over here.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Maybe Eminem has been great for so long that you
Speaker 3: just take them for granted. Now, yes, because the guy
Speaker 3: tells two hundred and eighty thousand unitses first week that
Speaker 3: that's just Eminem.
Speaker 2: He's supposed to But a new artist does that, like
Speaker 2: oh wow, yeah.
Speaker 18: Because new artist ain't doing that and numbers don't lie
Speaker 18: onm is like that according to Illuminate, which is you know,
Speaker 18: to give information on the wards breakdown and says a
Speaker 18: data partner, this is the data partner. They tracked Keith
Speaker 18: fanning interaction metrics including streaming sales and airplay. So and
Speaker 18: so they tracked this, they put they coupled that with
Speaker 18: the fan votes, and the winner is ultimately choosen by
Speaker 18: the public. But that is how you're nominating, that is
Speaker 18: how you chosen.
Speaker 2: So I still don't see it, but congratulations.
Speaker 18: A lot of people shared your sentiment last night, and
Speaker 18: I felt like it always anything Eminem wins, whether you
Speaker 18: think he deserves it or not, people always have this interaction.
Speaker 1: Back in the day, when he was winning, he deserved
Speaker 1: he was bossing ass. But now I don't. I just
Speaker 1: don't see it. Cosna was upset about it.
Speaker 18: To her, Yes he was, and speaking of Casa Nat,
Speaker 18: I thought it was so fire that he actually got to.
Speaker 16: Present an award last night.
Speaker 2: My god, I university this weekend.

Speaker 2: I figured it out the commercial.
Speaker 16: Yeah, and people were pissed off.
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, well that is the latest with Lauren.
Speaker 1: When we come back, we got front page news. It's
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2: Good morning, owing everybody. It's dj NV.
Speaker 1: Just hilarious, Charlamagne guy.
Speaker 2: We are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Let's get back in some front page news.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Last night that's underbeat the Timberwolves one twenty eight, one
Speaker 1: twenty six. They leave the series three one and my
Speaker 1: next take on the paces tonight at eight pm. So
Speaker 1: let's go New York, Go, New York.
Speaker 17: Go.
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 6: Muggains All right, yeah, let's get into it. So President
Speaker 6: Trump says Russian President Vladimir Putin has absolutely gone crazy. So,
Speaker 6: talking to Truth Social on Sunday, Trump said the two
Speaker 6: have always had a good relationship, but something has happened
Speaker 6: to Putin. He added that Putin is needlessly killing a
Speaker 6: lot of people and that he has always once said
Speaker 6: that Putin wants all of Ukraine, not just a piece
Speaker 6: of it. Let's take a listen to President Trump's comments
Speaker 6: on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 8: I'm not happy with what Putin's doing.
Speaker 2: He's killing a lot of people, and I don't know
Speaker 2: what the hell happened to Putin. I've known him a
Speaker 2: long time.
Speaker 8: Always gotten along with a but he's sending rockets into
Speaker 8: cities and killing people, and I don't like it at all.
Speaker 10: So.
Speaker 6: Ukrainian President Zelenski, in a post on social media on Sunday,
Speaker 6: said that nearly three hundred attack drones had been launched
Speaker 6: by Russia. Meanwhile, a top democrat in the House Intelligence Committee,
Speaker 6: Connecticut's Jim Himes, he told CBS's Face the Nation that
Speaker 6: the US needs to apply maximum pressure on Russia and
Speaker 6: apply sanctions.
Speaker 7: Let's take a listen to his comments.
Speaker 22: We really uptick the sanctions, we stop the export of oil.
Speaker 22: We pressure India to stop buying Russian oil, and of
Speaker 22: course we keep arming the Ukrainians maximize the leverage of
Speaker 22: the West so that we can bring this war not
Speaker 22: just to a conclusion, but to a fair and just
Speaker 22: conclusion that will keep the Russians from invading countries in
Speaker 22: the future.
Speaker 6: So officials in kievs say that at least twelve people
Speaker 6: were injured in a Russian drone attack early on Sunday,
Speaker 6: which damaged homes and apartment buildings. So continue to keep
Speaker 6: you guys posted on those international affairs.
Speaker 3: You know, I've been watching those exchanges, you know, and
Speaker 3: it's like those two egos could be the end of
Speaker 3: civilization as we know it.
Speaker 2: Like I was thinking about that over the weekend.
Speaker 7: You need to know name the two. Are you talking
Speaker 7: trouble Trump?
Speaker 3: You know how they always said Russia and Putin had
Speaker 3: something on Trump and they talk about the p tapes
Speaker 3: and all that other stuff, and you know, basically Russia
Speaker 3: had America in his pocket and they helped to steal
Speaker 3: the election. What if all that is true, right, then
Speaker 3: Trump has no more use for Putin anymore.
Speaker 2: And you know, wouldn't you.
Speaker 3: Want to get the guy that allegedly has all of
Speaker 3: this black material against against you.
Speaker 2: What you want to get him out of here? Absolutely?
Speaker 3: You know, so so wouldn't wouldn't wouldn't now be the time?
Speaker 3: It just I just don't like when I hear him say,
Speaker 3: you know, Putin's crazy, he's lost it, blah blah blah,
Speaker 3: and then you know the criminin and they throw a
Speaker 3: little shot back like that could get stupid real fast.
Speaker 6: Yeah, because then they start talking about nuclear and this exactly,
Speaker 6: and we don't need those pigs exactly. Those problems bring
Speaker 6: it back to.
Speaker 3: That's bigger than the problem, like that would be the
Speaker 3: end of civilization as we know it.
Speaker 6: And former Surgeon General Vvack Murphy is calling on Congress
Speaker 6: to do more to protect children from the harms of
Speaker 6: social media. He tells, seeing it hell excuse me NBC's
Speaker 6: Meet the Press, that lawmakers need to establish safety standards
Speaker 6: for social media platforms because right now there are no
Speaker 6: protection for kids. He suggests putting warning labels on social
Speaker 6: media platforms and establishing those safety standards. Let's take a
Speaker 6: listen to his comments on NBC's Meet the Press.
Speaker 7: B veck Marthy.
Speaker 23: It's equivalent of putting our kids in cars with no
Speaker 23: seat belts, with no airbags, and having them drive on
Speaker 23: roads with no speed limits and no traffic lights, and
Speaker 23: that is just morally unacceptable. I think Congress has so
Speaker 23: far failed in its responsibility to protect our kids, but
Speaker 23: it's not too late. They need to step up and
Speaker 23: act now. Put warning labels on social media platforms so
Speaker 23: that parents and kids are aware of the risks that
Speaker 23: we see.
Speaker 1: I don't think warning labels are going to change anything.
Speaker 1: I mean, your parents just got to be, you know,
Speaker 1: watch over their kids much more. But we do have
Speaker 1: to figure out something to do. But besides just that,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys been seeing this new
Speaker 1: trend where if it was not even a new trend,
Speaker 1: but they've been doing it for a long time. But
Speaker 1: it's getting worse and worse and worse. Where these kids
Speaker 1: are doing pop ups at malls, so they're putting on
Speaker 1: social media and then you'll get five six hundred, seven
Speaker 1: hundred one thousand kids at a mall and then they
Speaker 1: run to the mall feeling things, fight and getting into altercations.
Speaker 1: So it's getting more and more dangerous when it comes
Speaker 1: to just social media.
Speaker 2: Social media that social media too, because on my platform,
Speaker 2: people would running up in stores and taking clothes and
Speaker 2: going on way before social media, like they're doing it
Speaker 2: every week. I mean it on social media.
Speaker 3: I'm saying some people maybe do it for trends, but
Speaker 3: I mean they was doing stuff like that way before
Speaker 3: social media. I can't I can't blame I can't blame
Speaker 3: boosting on social media.
Speaker 2: Not as often as it is now.
Speaker 7: As a result of that, we.
Speaker 2: Got we gotta boost it right over head exactly.
Speaker 7: No, you gotta get in and get out.
Speaker 6: No. But as a result of that, I know, at
Speaker 6: least here in the d n B, they started to
Speaker 6: implement a lot of curfews, early curfews, especially on Fridays
Speaker 6: and Saturdays, for reasons like early like five p m.
Speaker 6: That if you're in the mall or you know, a
Speaker 6: town center of some sort before a certain and you're
Speaker 6: under the age of eight even sixteen, you know you
Speaker 6: need to have an adult with you. Murphy did go
Speaker 6: on to say though, that parents should try to keep
Speaker 6: children under the age of sixteen off social media if possible,
Speaker 6: because kids are being affected in different way than adults,
Speaker 6: and they're starting to see it in the actual brain
Speaker 6: development and brain activity. So he's also calling on Congress
Speaker 6: to require more data transparency so that researchers can betty
Speaker 6: better study the effects of social media on young people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's been going on for a long time.
Speaker 3: Like they you know, the mall, either if you were
Speaker 3: under eighteen, you had to be accompanied by a parent
Speaker 3: a guardian, or they would have a curfew on the weekends.
Speaker 3: Like as long as I can remember growing up insc
Speaker 3: in line today would need to do that.
Speaker 1: You know, that was that was big in the South
Speaker 1: because when I went to school in Hampton, it could
Speaker 1: only be three people. You can only be in the
Speaker 1: more with three people. Other than that, you have to
Speaker 1: break it up.
Speaker 3: You had to break up there and you had a
Speaker 3: cur you know why because they'd be fighting. But also
Speaker 3: they'd be running up in the store path and just
Speaker 3: taking stuff.
Speaker 2: But stuff been.
Speaker 3: Going on way before social media. Like that's that's not
Speaker 3: a trend. I would blame social media.
Speaker 7: It's just now amplified.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But in New York we didn't have those type
Speaker 1: of curfews of those problems. But when I went with
Speaker 1: to school in the South, they definitely did.
Speaker 6: All right, So that's your social that's your social media, that's.

Speaker 2: Welcome, Thank you. How are you feeling this morning?
Speaker 24: I'm great?
Speaker 4: How are you doing well?
Speaker 2: Doing well?
Speaker 3: She's also got a new memoir out now, The Glory
Speaker 3: and Your Story, activating a fearless faith to change your life, your.
Speaker 2: Career in the world.
Speaker 3: Yes, now you turned a kitchen recipe into a multimillion
Speaker 3: dollar brand. Yes, What was the moment you realized you
Speaker 3: weren't just selling products, you were actually building a movement.
Speaker 24: Well, you know, I went into this knowing that I
Speaker 24: was building a movement.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 25: I created this brand out of necessity. You know, I
Speaker 25: felt that there was a lack of relatability in the
Speaker 25: haircare space. There was a lack of great products, healthy
Speaker 25: products for women that look like me, and I wanted
Speaker 25: to fill this boy, But I always operated with a
Speaker 25: multi million dollar mindset. I operated with the mindset of like,
Speaker 25: I'm going to be on the sholf with these bigger
Speaker 25: brands one day eventually. And the day that we launched,
Speaker 25: which was made when third our anniversary is actually next week,
Speaker 25: and we sought out of every oil that we had,
Speaker 25: and we had a small amount of inventory, about one
Speaker 25: hundred bottles because I was a small business, didn't know
Speaker 25: that it was going to take off the way that
Speaker 25: it did. And the day that we launched, we sought
Speaker 25: out of every single product. And I knew at that
Speaker 25: moment like I'm onto something, because I knew that it
Speaker 25: was a need for it.
Speaker 3: I loved the multimillion dollar mindset. Explain explain that to
Speaker 3: people for those who may not have one.
Speaker 25: Yeah, you know, I think success is when I talk
Speaker 25: about like activating fearless faith to change your mind.
Speaker 24: Success is all about mindset.
Speaker 25: And you know, I grew up basically in the hood, right,
Speaker 25: you know, I didn't come from a lot, but I
Speaker 25: always dreamed big. And I would look at other successful
Speaker 25: people and say, Oh, they're successful because they're lucky. And
Speaker 25: I knew that I had to change my mindset and
Speaker 25: shift from thinking that, no, they're not just lucky.
Speaker 24: They worked for it, right, you know.
Speaker 25: They had to step out and be bold and go
Speaker 25: after their dreams and pursue their purpose. And I shipped
Speaker 25: them mindset from thinking that I didn't deserve success to
Speaker 25: thinking that I do deserve it. And I realized that
Speaker 25: once that started to shift my level of thinking and
Speaker 25: I operated from a level of abundance and not lack.
Speaker 25: More things flow to me.
Speaker 1: Now I'm twenty fourteen. You were a registered nurse, yes,
Speaker 1: So what made you say, you know what, this is
Speaker 1: not for me? And what put you the mind frame
Speaker 1: to actually create these products?
Speaker 17: Right?
Speaker 1: Because people could say, you know, they could take a
Speaker 1: product and sell it, but you actually had to make it,
Speaker 1: you had to try it. I'm sure it didn't work
Speaker 1: right away the first time. I'm sure your daughter was
Speaker 1: sitting back there. I'm sure you burnt her hair a
Speaker 1: couple of times and you're trying it out.
Speaker 24: I don't think I burned it, but you know, she
Speaker 24: was a definitely a guinea pig.
Speaker 2: Pig, So talk about that procedure and how that came about. Yeah.
Speaker 25: So, actually, so I was a labor and delivery nurse
Speaker 25: and I was a nurse for eight and a half years.
Speaker 25: And I became a nurse because my mom encouraged me
Speaker 25: to be a nurse. She was very traditional, you know,
Speaker 25: go to school, go to college, do what you need
Speaker 25: to do, get a real job so you can survive.
Speaker 25: My mom was basically about survival. She had that mentality,
Speaker 25: which no fault because most of our parents' generation, they
Speaker 25: came from that type of generation. And even though when
Speaker 25: I was younger, like I've always had this dream and
Speaker 25: passion to be in the beauty space, my mom would
Speaker 25: always tell me, like it's cute, but you know, that's
Speaker 25: not a stable career. So I kind of like put
Speaker 25: my dreams to the wayside and pursue what my mom
Speaker 25: wanted me to do. So it was never something that
Speaker 25: like I saw myself doing. So when I did graduate
Speaker 25: college and I started work in labor and delivery, I knew,
Speaker 25: I'm like, this is not a career path that I
Speaker 25: want to do for the rest of my life. And unfortunately,
Speaker 25: after doing that for eight years, I was pregnant with
Speaker 25: my third child, my son, and unfortunately it was a
Speaker 25: high risk pregnancy bless you, and he passed away from complications,
Speaker 25: and when you go through pain, it's something thank you,
Speaker 25: something that's so traumatic. It catapulted me to live life
Speaker 25: on my own terms and not to live my life
Speaker 25: on someone else's dream, which was my mom, because you
Speaker 25: only get one shot at life, and my pregnancy was
Speaker 25: high risk also for my life, and I decided to
Speaker 25: pursue my dreams, do something that I love, something that
Speaker 25: was purposeful, something that I can wake up and feel
Speaker 25: like I have fulfillment, enjoy doing. And I went back
Speaker 25: to that love as a child being in the beauty space,
Speaker 25: and I started creating. I'm a creative by nature, and
Speaker 25: I would just go in my kitchen and mix together
Speaker 25: like different ingredients and study and research like what ingredients
Speaker 25: work well on our hair? And I started posting it
Speaker 25: on social media and while people were following me and
Speaker 25: thinking like, well, what is this girl doing? Like she's
Speaker 25: posting all these recipes. It was really a creative outlet
Speaker 25: for me to express myself and to take my mind
Speaker 25: off of grief.
Speaker 24: The greeting process. Yeah, and that's how Mayo became what
Speaker 24: it is.
Speaker 4: Where did Mayo come from?
Speaker 1: The name?
Speaker 4: The name?
Speaker 25: Oh, so that's a great question. I love answering that question.
Speaker 25: It's actually a combination of my kids' names. So I
Speaker 25: have Mia, Gabrielle back there, Mackenzie, Ariel, my son his
Speaker 25: name was Milan. It's a combination of all their names
Speaker 25: and their middle names L. So they're my l's.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did they charge you?
Speaker 25: They did, because I'm still paying for it today, Like
Speaker 25: they are always asking for something, right.
Speaker 24: But you know they get paid.
Speaker 2: Well, how did you go?
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm skipping steps and I want everybody
Speaker 3: to go read the book The Glory In your story,
Speaker 3: we go from the kitchen to actually getting your products
Speaker 3: on the shelf.
Speaker 2: What were the steps?
Speaker 25: Like, what did you do like yeah. So you know,
Speaker 25: my way of going into retail was not a traditional way.
Speaker 25: I started in twenty fourteen. We entered into retail in
Speaker 25: twenty sixteen, which Number one is very rare for a brand,
Speaker 25: a small black owned business to start and not have
Speaker 25: any type of momentum or leverage and to go into retail.
Speaker 25: So it was very risky and my goal was to
Speaker 25: go into retail year five. I wasn't even expecting to
Speaker 25: go into retail the year that we did, but we
Speaker 25: had built up so much much momentum, and we had
Speaker 25: built up this great community and it got the attention
Speaker 25: of the retailers. So our first retail partner was Sally Beauty,
Speaker 25: and they heard about us on social media, and of
Speaker 25: course retailers they want to be a part of brands
Speaker 25: that can add value to them. So you can't just
Speaker 25: go into a retailer saying, oh, I want to put
Speaker 25: my products on your shelf and expecting them to do
Speaker 25: the marketing for you. You have to have something that
Speaker 25: you can bring value or add to their shelf. And
Speaker 25: we were a brand that was a disruptive brand and
Speaker 25: it caught their attention and then they called us to
Speaker 25: have a meeting with them, and it was so divine
Speaker 25: because when we got the call to have a meeting
Speaker 25: with Sally's, their headquarters is in Denton, Texas, we were
Speaker 25: actually there in Dallas for my daughter's gymnastics competition, so we.
Speaker 24: Were not there for any business meeting.
Speaker 25: And I actually almost turned down a meeting because we
Speaker 25: were there with our kids and we're like, well, we
Speaker 25: don't have a babysitter to go into this corporate meeting.
Speaker 25: And they wanted us so bad. They were like, bring
Speaker 25: your kids to meeting. So they were like five and
Speaker 25: nine at the time, and they did. And I told them, like,
Speaker 25: you guys better not say anything going there and sit
Speaker 25: with your hands folded, like don't move, because this is
Speaker 25: a really big deal. And I went in there with
Speaker 25: no presentation, just talked about my love and passion for
Speaker 25: this space. And they tested us in ninety five stores
Speaker 25: and they said, we're going to test you out because
Speaker 25: you're a new brand, and we'll see how the brand goes.
Speaker 25: We launched in February and every store that we were
Speaker 25: selling in seld out in less than two hours.
Speaker 2: It was just because of social media.
Speaker 24: It was just because of social media. Instagram at that.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're still kicking it with the founder and CEO
Speaker 1: of my l Organix, Monique Rodriguez.
Speaker 4: Jess, why did you decided to sell it to ping,
Speaker 4: you know, crackdown Gamble.
Speaker 24: Yeah, that's a great question.
Speaker 25: So when we decided to sell, it was all about
Speaker 25: scale and global infrastructure. When you are growing a brand
Speaker 25: in order to scale, it's all about access to capital
Speaker 25: and having the great infrastructure and people to help execute
Speaker 25: your vision. And so the thing is like, we didn't
Speaker 25: need to sell. We wanted to sell because we wanted
Speaker 25: to invest in innovation, We wanted to have global reach,
Speaker 25: and we wanted to be able to create more accessibility
Speaker 25: for the consumers that we serve. You know, when you
Speaker 25: look at the Texture Haircare Aisle, it's a small space
Speaker 25: and our community, like we complain that we don't have
Speaker 25: access to great products. And my whole goal from the
Speaker 25: very beginning of building Mayo was to build a global empire.
Speaker 25: And I know that as founders, we did our best
Speaker 25: to take the brand as far as we could with
Speaker 25: our resources. And this is a normal trajectory of business.
Speaker 25: The goal of building a brand is to either ipo
Speaker 25: or exit, and I've accomplished that goal. And the great
Speaker 25: thing about it is I've been able to negotiate my
Speaker 25: contract to where I'm still on board. I'm still making
Speaker 25: the decisions, I'm still running the company, i still at
Speaker 25: the vision for it. So it's a very unique structure
Speaker 25: that you know, not everyone sees, and I know the
Speaker 25: community tends to be scared of brands that are acquired,
Speaker 25: but it's really a great win for us, especially as
Speaker 25: a black brand, a black girl from the South Side
Speaker 25: of Chicago. Right to even have the opportunity to have
Speaker 25: a conversation a seat at the table with the conglomerate
Speaker 25: like a PNG is a huge win of it in
Speaker 25: itself because we don't get opportunities like that often. We
Speaker 25: don't see it all the time, And you know, I
Speaker 25: wanted to show the possibilities of what's possible, like we
Speaker 25: can take the heat us as founders. I can take
Speaker 25: the heat of breaking glass ceilings because I know that
Speaker 25: I'm also paving the way for my daughter's generation so
Speaker 25: she can build a brand and create something great and
Speaker 25: have a successful exit. Because we build thriving communities when
Speaker 25: we build brands, scale them exit, we build generational wealth,
Speaker 25: not just for us or for the community we serve
Speaker 25: preach monique.
Speaker 2: But let me tell you something.
Speaker 3: One of the hardest things to do in life is
Speaker 3: to explain business to people who ain't up, who.
Speaker 24: Don't understand business. Yeah, that's the hardest thing.
Speaker 2: Wow, And I don't have to understand How did that
Speaker 2: affect your business?
Speaker 9: Right?
Speaker 1: Because people see it differently. Where did you lose a
Speaker 1: lot of people or people hating on it? Did it
Speaker 1: mess business up? How did that affect y'all?
Speaker 25: No, when we soda didn't mess business up. And that's
Speaker 25: the thing, Like when we made the announcement, you know,
Speaker 25: I really took the time to try to educate the
Speaker 25: community on the why, like why businesses scale up, why
Speaker 25: you know, we become acquired, and it's to create generational
Speaker 25: wealth and so we can have more access to help
Speaker 25: our community. So I put this whole message out to explain.
Speaker 25: And while we did have a huge amount of support
Speaker 25: from the community, I mean, you know, like the bigger
Speaker 25: you are, the more eyeballs are, you're also going to
Speaker 25: have people that don't like it, that don't understand it.
Speaker 25: And I feel that if you know, there's so much
Speaker 25: access to information out here, right, so if you really
Speaker 25: want to know how business works, you can research it
Speaker 25: right and you can take the time to listen when
Speaker 25: someone's trying to educate hate you.
Speaker 24: And I say this all the time, ignorance is a choice. Sure,
Speaker 24: you can choose to be ignorant.
Speaker 25: When you have information in front of you, and if
Speaker 25: you just choose to not pay attention to it, then
Speaker 25: that is your choice and you have a right to
Speaker 25: your choice. But I'm going to choose to focus and
Speaker 25: educate those that want to be educated, that want to
Speaker 25: understand the why, and also those that want to start
Speaker 25: a business, have an idea and what is the trajectory
Speaker 25: of that. I want to show that by example because
Speaker 25: it's not normal in our community. We have to normalize
Speaker 25: this because when I did my deal, it was, oh,
Speaker 25: you're a unicorn. Yeah, that's almost great, but it's not
Speaker 25: great because we don't want to be unicorns. We want
Speaker 25: this to be a normal conversation for us. And so
Speaker 25: it didn't hurt the brand. But you know, I think
Speaker 25: it also comes with the territory. And I say this
Speaker 25: all the time to things. If you don't want to
Speaker 25: be copied or criticized, then don't be great.
Speaker 4: Sure, did you say, I'm sure you saw the TikTok
Speaker 4: trends of people saying that they lost their hair after
Speaker 4: you did sell to PNG silently, you know, the day
Speaker 4: they have something to do with the formula. They said,
Speaker 4: this is not the same mile, this is not the
Speaker 4: same formula. And people, you know, it was a lot
Speaker 4: of people saying that they had lost their hair behind
Speaker 4: And what would you say to that?
Speaker 25: Yeah, and you know, hair loss is you know, traumatic
Speaker 25: in it of itself, and I can empathize with anyone
Speaker 25: that has suffered with hair loss. I myself has suffered
Speaker 25: with postpartum shedding hair loss right, And I think I
Speaker 25: want people to realize, like, this is the reason why
Speaker 25: I created the brand, right. I created this brand to
Speaker 25: serve women with healthier products for their hair. When I
Speaker 25: made the decision to partner with PNG, it was very intentional.
Speaker 25: A lot of thought went into the decision making process.
Speaker 25: This was not a fly by night decision.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 25: It was a lot of due diligence done on both ends,
Speaker 25: my end and their ends. And we have to realize,
Speaker 25: like when you think of PNG, a lot of the
Speaker 25: products that are in our household are by PNG. They
Speaker 25: are a brand that's been around for hundreds of years
Speaker 25: that creates longevity, sustainability across generations with their brands. So
Speaker 25: I would never sell to a company that I knew
Speaker 25: that I thought would harm my creation. Like Mayel is
Speaker 25: my baby. Mayel was birth out of heartbreak, like this
Speaker 25: is something that's near and dear to my heart. I
Speaker 25: would never sell to a company that I thought was
Speaker 25: going to ruin, you know, my brand. So, and the
Speaker 25: thing is like people have to realize that I'm also
Speaker 25: a nurse, right Like I lead with empathy, I lead
Speaker 25: with compassion, I lead with caring about the community that
Speaker 25: I serve. We would never put anything in our products
Speaker 25: that are going to damage or disrupt any woman's hair.
Speaker 25: And the people that are saying the formulas change, the
Speaker 25: formulas have not changed.
Speaker 24: You know, if people.
Speaker 25: Would actually take the time to see our products that
Speaker 25: were in twenty twenty, twenty twenty, right and you look
Speaker 25: at now since after the partnership, the farmers are still
Speaker 25: the same. So the thing is like misinformation is spreads
Speaker 25: like wildfire, and people don't take the time to do
Speaker 25: their homework and do their own due diligence before coming
Speaker 25: to their own assumptions. But I can confidently say that
Speaker 25: our products do not cause people's hair to fall out.
Speaker 3: And also people just be hating. You mean to tell
Speaker 3: me that after you get acquired by product then and
Speaker 3: before undisclosing. Mind, they know you got that cake all
Speaker 3: of a sudden. It's just all of these TikTok videos
Speaker 3: online people saying, yeah, the product make my hair fall
Speaker 3: out all of a sudden.
Speaker 24: Yeah, it came out of nowhere. Come on, man, and
Speaker 24: it's the same yeah, come on. And it's like I
Speaker 24: use the products.
Speaker 25: My daughter she used, Look at her hair her it's beautiful,
Speaker 25: Like my family uses the products.
Speaker 24: Like this is like, I don't take this lightly.
Speaker 25: And this partnership has always been led with honesty and transparency,
Speaker 25: and I'm gonna be honest with you guys. What people
Speaker 25: also don't realize is that when you are a smaller brand,
Speaker 25: a lot of the things that you do can go
Speaker 25: under the radar because you don't have a lot of
Speaker 25: eyeballs on you.
Speaker 13: Right.
Speaker 25: I've seen brands that are smaller that have products out
Speaker 25: and they don't even have the ingredients listed on their products.
Speaker 23: Right.
Speaker 24: When you are a bigger brand, you can't do that.
Speaker 25: So the level of compliance and processes and the level
Speaker 25: of strictness that we had to be in compliant with
Speaker 25: to even talk to PNG. The safety regulations were like
Speaker 25: through the roof. So people have to understand, like this
Speaker 25: is a large company. They operate with the highest level
Speaker 25: of safetiness, right and they've even helped us operate even
Speaker 25: more safer, so people can trust like these products are
Speaker 25: good to use. Nothing has changed. We operate with the
Speaker 25: same level of integrity. Everything's the same, other than we
Speaker 25: just have access to more.
Speaker 3: And you know those I would like to see all
Speaker 3: the brands that are producting and Gamble has just just
Speaker 3: my stuff makes your hair fall out, allegedly the black
Speaker 3: women own product just makes sure the black women gambling
Speaker 3: around for years.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I would also also say that every hair product's not
Speaker 1: for everybody, Like what you use in your hair that
Speaker 1: might work for you or your daughter might not work
Speaker 1: for me or my daughter. You know that doesn't mean
Speaker 1: that it's it's all. It's all in people's hairs, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and yours, like there's nothing that.
Speaker 9: Work for you all.
Speaker 3: PCTY and Gamble have been around forever and nobody's made
Speaker 3: those complaints.
Speaker 2: But now all of a sudden Come on, man.
Speaker 1: Of course we're still kicking it with Monique Rodriguez to
Speaker 1: found the n CEO of My Organics. She has a
Speaker 1: new book, The Glory in Your Story, Charlamage.
Speaker 3: Do you think the black community puts too much pressure
Speaker 3: on black owned businesses to be perfect and they'll give
Speaker 3: grace to like other billion dollar brands that don't ever
Speaker 3: even show up for us.
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 25: Absolutely, Like I mean we can see it all the time,
Speaker 25: Like we see millionaires, billionaires that build companies exit all
Speaker 25: the time, and we celebrate it.
Speaker 2: That's the point of business.
Speaker 25: Like that, that's the point of business. But when a
Speaker 25: black person does it, like we tear them down. And
Speaker 25: the thing is like, we got to choose our heart,
Speaker 25: We got to pick our battles. We complain as a
Speaker 25: community that we have a access lack of access to capital, mentorship, expertise,
Speaker 25: But then when we're trying to create these avenues of
Speaker 25: creating wealth so we can create access to capital, expertise
Speaker 25: and mentorship, there has to be more of us to
Speaker 25: do it, then we tear it down. So either you
Speaker 25: don't want the access or then when we do get
Speaker 25: the access, you can't tear us down.
Speaker 24: For forgetting that access.
Speaker 25: And that's why I said, we gotta we gotta choose
Speaker 25: our heart as a community, because we can't have it
Speaker 25: both ways, because what happens is we stifle our community
Speaker 25: when we tear black brands down for doing what other
Speaker 25: cultures do all the time. We stifle us because now
Speaker 25: it causes fear in investors, It causes strategics to say, oh,
Speaker 25: now you're more risky, so now I'm going to devalue you.
Speaker 25: So me, if I was a different culture, my value
Speaker 25: could have been more if that risk wasn't there. So
Speaker 25: all we're doing is we're setting ourselves back because the
Speaker 25: next Monny Garderiguez that comes forward that tries to do this,
Speaker 25: they're going to ask the question like because they asked me,
Speaker 25: how's your community gonna feel about this?
Speaker 24: Right?
Speaker 25: And now we have to come up with the whole
Speaker 25: strategic plan on how to relay this message message in
Speaker 25: an educational way. When I ask them back, do you
Speaker 25: have to do this with any other cultures? Their response
Speaker 25: was n.
Speaker 3: So how easy to expound on that one, Because I
Speaker 3: think what you're speaking to is whenever it's something like
Speaker 3: this happens, right, like you know, you do get acquired
Speaker 3: by P ANDNG. The backlash from social media can be
Speaker 3: so bad that it makes these companies be like, whoa
Speaker 3: should we have done that situation?
Speaker 2: And they'll think about doing that, you know, to the
Speaker 2: next person.
Speaker 25: Right, And that's why it's important that when black brands
Speaker 25: scale and are exited, we have to show up even
Speaker 25: more as a community to support those brands because now
Speaker 25: they're looking at these brands as a case study. They're
Speaker 25: looking at Mael now as a case study of like
Speaker 25: what happens when you're acquired and does the community still
Speaker 25: ride for you?
Speaker 24: Does the community still support you?
Speaker 25: And again, if we don't support and they start to
Speaker 25: see sales drop off, then it stifles opportunity for a
Speaker 25: next entrepreneur that wants to scale. And that's the part
Speaker 25: we have to realize. And again to your point, we
Speaker 25: can't expect people that you know, don't understands, not in business,
Speaker 25: to understand business. But again, like we're creating platforms like
Speaker 25: this to help spread the word and to educate, right,
Speaker 25: We're taking the time to educate you, so you should
Speaker 25: say in your mind, I'm going to support this black
Speaker 25: founded brand. Like let's not just say we support black owned.
Speaker 25: Let's also support black founded brands, right, because we're all
Speaker 25: a community.
Speaker 24: We're all in this together.
Speaker 25: In order for us to create these thriving communities, we
Speaker 25: got to support us right, things that are made by us,
Speaker 25: created by us, not just owned by us. Because you
Speaker 25: should have the freedom and the opportunity to do whatever
Speaker 25: it is that you want to do with your brand.
Speaker 25: If you want to stay small and local, you have
Speaker 25: a purpose to serve, you should be able to do that.
Speaker 25: If you want to stay online and serve just online consumers,
Speaker 25: you should be able to do that. If you want
Speaker 25: to scale and exit and be acquired or ipo, you
Speaker 25: should have the freedom and flexibility to do whatever it
Speaker 25: is that you want to do with your brand without
Speaker 25: being criticized.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think there's a lot of people
Speaker 3: feel like, well, a lot of founders get pushed out
Speaker 3: when the big money shows up. So they just want
Speaker 3: to make sure that y'all still calling the shots and
Speaker 3: it's not just a black face on like a white
Speaker 3: white boardroom.
Speaker 25: Yeah no, Like, I'm on zoom calls pretty much every day,
Speaker 25: so talking about ma L and product innovation and development
Speaker 25: and marketing and different events and activations and how we
Speaker 25: can show up for the community. So you know, I mean,
Speaker 25: of course, I am the face of the brand. I
Speaker 25: created the brand, but I'm more than just a face.
Speaker 25: I'm also the strategic vision behind it as well too,
Speaker 25: so I have I make the final decisions on everything
Speaker 25: that touches the consumers. And I do it because I
Speaker 25: made it that way. So we put like those safeguards
Speaker 25: in place to protect our brand, to protect our legacy.
Speaker 4: You do what your husband are, yeah, I was saying,
Speaker 4: And it frees up a lot more of your time,
Speaker 4: so you can do things like write your book and
Speaker 4: then I'm sure to delve into other business endeavors and
Speaker 4: things like that. Because what PNG also is is like
Speaker 4: like good partners for you. Like they take on the
Speaker 4: bulk of fact you had to do all this by yourself.
Speaker 4: Yeah at one point, you know, I'm sure you had
Speaker 4: a team. But that's the part that they take on
Speaker 4: is well, like they make it I don't want to
Speaker 4: say easier, but a little bit more easier to run
Speaker 4: the whole shit.
Speaker 25: Yeah, Like they free up a lot of my mental capacity,
Speaker 25: so I can like have the mental capacity to make
Speaker 25: the hard decisions, the decisions that matter, And you mentioned
Speaker 25: something about manufacturing, like we still manufacture our own products,
Speaker 25: so manufacturing was not even P and D doesn't manufacture
Speaker 25: our products, That's what I'm saying, Like everything is still
Speaker 25: the same, Like we still manufacture in Chicago, right where
Speaker 25: I'm from. So yeah, and you built it with your husband, right, Yes,
Speaker 25: So my husband we've been together since I was sixteen,
Speaker 25: on each other since we were twelve and thirteen, and
Speaker 25: so we've literally like grown up together. And when I
Speaker 25: had this dream, he supported it from the very beginning,
Speaker 25: Like he operates from a very logistical, finance operations mindset.
Speaker 24: And I'm the visionary, the creator.
Speaker 25: And like when you just merge those two different sides
Speaker 25: of the brain, you know, skill sets, like we've been
Speaker 25: able to build this, you know, amazing company and be
Speaker 25: this dynamic duo because you know, we both add different
Speaker 25: value to the company and different skill sets.
Speaker 2: A lot of don't mix business in marriage. What you
Speaker 2: say to that?
Speaker 7: I say, the wedding rings says it all that.
Speaker 24: Crazy crazy yours is too. Thank you you said about mixing.
Speaker 2: Business business with marriage?
Speaker 24: What do you think I mean?
Speaker 4: I don't.
Speaker 24: I think you have to know, like what works for
Speaker 24: you and your marriage.
Speaker 25: Like I've met some married couples that are like, well,
Speaker 25: we can't work together and they're happier not doing so,
Speaker 25: And that's totally fine. I don't think there's no wrong
Speaker 25: or right answer for us. It works well for us
Speaker 25: because you know, the things that he does for the company,
Speaker 25: I honestly don't even want to do. And of course
Speaker 25: he knew nothing about hair care and products, so he
Speaker 25: couldn't really operate in my space. And I think if
Speaker 25: you want to make it work, you have to like
Speaker 25: take your egos out of it. You know, you can't
Speaker 25: be in competition with your spouse. And my husband he
Speaker 25: was always big on like pushing me to the forefront.
Speaker 25: He's like, listen, this is your time to shine.
Speaker 24: Women. You guys have been held back for so long.
Speaker 25: Like I'm okay with putting you out there and letting
Speaker 25: you be at the forefront and now just helping support
Speaker 25: you on the back end. And I just think that
Speaker 25: it takes a real man to say, you know what,
Speaker 25: I'm okay with being behind the scenes and you being
Speaker 25: out there and I'm gonna just support your vision and
Speaker 25: him not feeling like, well, I'm the man, I'm the protector,
Speaker 25: like you can't be out there like he was very
Speaker 25: comfortable saying I'm just gonna support you.
Speaker 24: And he's done just that.
Speaker 25: And you know, my mentor told me, she's like, there
Speaker 25: will be no may l if it wasn't for you,
Speaker 25: Melvin and you or you you and like you guys
Speaker 25: had to build this together. And you know it's I
Speaker 25: think it works for us. And you just have to know,
Speaker 25: like what works for you and have respect for each other,
Speaker 25: respect each other's roles and lanes, and you know, just
Speaker 25: be aligned with your vision.
Speaker 2: He's also a black man too.
Speaker 24: He's also a black man, yes from so his mom
Speaker 24: is Porto Rican. Oh yeah, but all right, yeah, that's
Speaker 24: a great question.
Speaker 2: Pick up right now. The glory in your stories.

Speaker 24: I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Monique Rodriguez. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2: Good morning. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren
Speaker 2: be coming a straight fast. She gets somebody that knows
Speaker 2: somebody detail.
Speaker 16: I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Speaker 2: She'd be having the latest on you things, the latest
Speaker 2: with Lauren La Rosa.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you have sometimes you have details, sometimes you have
Speaker 3: a little bit.
Speaker 2: Everything's the latest.
Speaker 9: On the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 16: All right, y'all.
Speaker 18: So Diddy back in court again this week, but right now,
Speaker 18: there's there's gonna be some explosive testimonies today, including Capricorn
Speaker 18: Clark that we will hear from a man named Lance.
Speaker 2: Who is For people that don't know.
Speaker 18: Capricorn Clark is a previous personal assistant of Ditty's. But
Speaker 18: she has come up in this case in this hearing
Speaker 18: almost every single day that I've been there, because she
Speaker 18: was around and has witnessed so much. She is the
Speaker 18: woman that Kit Cutty alleges called her and said, hey,
Speaker 18: Diddy's at your house. She's the woman that is alleging
Speaker 18: that Diddy made her get in the car with him
Speaker 18: to go to kit Cutty's house. She was, you know,
Speaker 18: the person that knew about the Berner phone that Cassie
Speaker 18: talked about that she will talk to kit Cutty on.
Speaker 18: She knows a lot of the things and everyone has
Speaker 18: mentioned her. So now we will finally get to hear
Speaker 18: from her about her testimony, her experiences. But before we
Speaker 18: get there, today, Diddy's team, Brian still his attorneys actually
Speaker 18: asking for kit Cutty's testimony to be thrown out. What
Speaker 18: he's saying is that because so they're saying that it's
Speaker 18: unfair and it's legally irrelevant. They're saying, number one, that
Speaker 18: there's no proof of what kit Cutty is saying. That
Speaker 18: everything is is his opinion or what he believes. But
Speaker 18: there's no evidence. There's no confession from Diddy, and there's
Speaker 18: no actual receipts.
Speaker 2: Car that was blown up, So I get to that part.
Speaker 18: So they're also saying that because he has no personal
Speaker 18: knowledge of seeing did he there himself?
Speaker 16: It's all speculation.
Speaker 18: Now to answer your question, you're talking about the car
Speaker 18: was blown up, so there should be DNA, there should
Speaker 18: be all these things, right, that's what you're asking. No,
Speaker 18: that's well, if a car what Diddy's team is saying
Speaker 18: is if a car is blown up, and you're going
Speaker 18: to say that did he was lying to you? Because
Speaker 18: remember kit Cutty said, I asked him about it and
Speaker 18: I knew he was lying to me, said them. Understand,
Speaker 18: if you're going to say that, you need something hard
Speaker 18: to back that up, of course, exactly to back it up.
Speaker 2: So you need.
Speaker 18: You need something more, like, we need more evidence. We
Speaker 18: can't just go off of what you think happened because
Speaker 18: of all these events that you just put together and said,
Speaker 18: you know what, he has to be responsible for. That's
Speaker 18: what they're saying now.
Speaker 16: Getting to the car.
Speaker 18: So Lance Jimenez, he is a City of La Fire
Speaker 18: Department arson investigators. So he's gonna get on the stand
Speaker 18: and testify to responding to the car arson of kit
Speaker 18: Cutti's and they're going to get into this DNA conversation
Speaker 18: because Brian Still, when kit Cutty was on the stand,
Speaker 18: tried to get to the point that there was DNA
Speaker 18: found on a bottle in the car on kit Cutty's
Speaker 18: Porsch that was blown up, and there was DNA evidence
Speaker 18: on that bottle that linked to a woman.
Speaker 3: That makes no sense to me because I saw people
Speaker 3: keep saying that on social media, and I'm like, what
Speaker 3: y'all thought that Diddy through the car the bottle himself.
Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna say. You really think Didd
Speaker 1: he got out the top and then.
Speaker 2: His head dirty? Come on, That's that's what y'all really
Speaker 2: think happened.
Speaker 4: I mean, I think they're leaning into one of those
Speaker 4: for for Diddy.
Speaker 18: See, they're going to lean into if the glove don't
Speaker 18: fit like I, if you don't have the physical evidence
Speaker 18: that puts him there at the crime doing it, then
Speaker 18: what are we even talking about right now?
Speaker 3: And unless it's a woman that comes out and says, hey,
Speaker 3: I was paid by Diddy to do X practice, then.
Speaker 16: That's a whole other conversation.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 16: Here's the thing.
Speaker 18: So, when uh the Arson detective or investigator gets on
Speaker 18: the stand, the government is asking the judge to not
Speaker 18: allow Brian still did he's attorney to even be able
Speaker 18: to bring up that DNA. And the reason why they're
Speaker 18: asking that is because they're saying that even though he'll
Speaker 18: be able to testify that he responded and there were
Speaker 18: reports taken, uh he according to this this document that
Speaker 18: they submitted, the investigator says that they only recovered partial
Speaker 18: female DNA and he can't speak to what partial female
Speaker 18: DNA even means. They also say that he did not
Speaker 18: personally collect the swabs, he didn't perform the testing himself,
Speaker 18: and he has no personal knowledge regarding the testing other
Speaker 18: than what was included in the report, and they're saying
Speaker 18: that the report basically it's like it's not a full report,
Speaker 18: so it doesn't talk about any other DNA that would
Speaker 18: it would.
Speaker 16: Have been possibly found.
Speaker 18: And their legend at this bottle could have went through
Speaker 18: multiple hands before it got to the car where then you.
Speaker 16: Know the car was blown up.
Speaker 2: So was it a rock bottle?
Speaker 16: It just set like a glass like they ain't say
Speaker 16: that if it would have been that, that would have
Speaker 16: been crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wouldn't have did that, I'm sure, and I'm
Speaker 1: sure Diddy didn't do it himself. So all the DNA
Speaker 1: just makes no sense. Like Charlage said, lest somebody's gonna
Speaker 1: come out and say Diddy paid me to do that.
Speaker 3: Like this is if I tell you one thing, though,
Speaker 3: I'm surprised did he tem and raised the hell about capricorn.
Speaker 2: Clock taking this stand? But let's starts today a capricorn
Speaker 2: clock ring. I'm telling y'all right now.
Speaker 18: People are if you've been paying attention to this case,
Speaker 18: even though you might not know her as like a
Speaker 18: celebrity name, people are really looking forward to her testimony
Speaker 18: because she has a lot that she can speak to.
Speaker 18: They're gonna want to lean into, like, you know, conversation
Speaker 18: about his Diddy's a less jealous rages that he would
Speaker 18: go when it came to Cassie the kick cutty stuff
Speaker 18: that we just talked about.
Speaker 16: There were instances with the woman Gina that Didd.
Speaker 18: He used to date that another personal assistant said that
Speaker 18: he witnessed that made him allegedly quit, and he said
Speaker 18: he went to Capricorn Clark and told her, Hey, I'm
Speaker 18: quitting because this is what I just saw. So Capricorn
Speaker 18: Clark is a very important witness for both sides because
Speaker 18: she has seen a lot and if you can debunk
Speaker 18: a lot of what she's going to say, you can
Speaker 18: prove either Diddy right or wrong. And if you can
Speaker 18: get her on the stand, and she fills in a
Speaker 18: lot of the holes that we've been hearing.
Speaker 2: She was Diddy's assistant, right, one of.
Speaker 18: Did these, but he had like four or five assistants,
Speaker 18: but she was it seems like she was like the
Speaker 18: go to for a lot of things. She also there
Speaker 18: were conversations that Cassie mentioned on the stand where she
Speaker 18: was involved in like the whole like escorts and getting
Speaker 18: them to different places allegedly and all these things.
Speaker 1: So did we ever find out if these people who
Speaker 1: are testifying for prosecution are getting immunity?
Speaker 18: So I was told by a source that there are
Speaker 18: conversations about that. And then one of the personal assistants
Speaker 18: that was on the stand, his name was George Kaplan.
Speaker 18: He said, I don't want to be here. I still
Speaker 18: love did he even though this is a very complicated relationship.
Speaker 18: And they asked him, well, why are you here? You
Speaker 18: receiving some sort of like immunity. He didn't say yes, definitely,
Speaker 18: but he said that there was a conversation with his attorney,
Speaker 18: but he couldn't recall the conversation.
Speaker 16: So that is the closest I've gotten to get.
Speaker 1: If you're giving all these people immunity, of course they're
Speaker 1: going to say what they want to say because they're
Speaker 1: not going to be charged, right, They're more likely to
Speaker 1: represent for the prosecution team.
Speaker 2: Than the defensive. If you're gonna give me immunity.
Speaker 16: Yes and no, because I mean, if you're immunity, you
Speaker 16: just say whatever. Who's gonna do something to you?
Speaker 10: You know?
Speaker 3: I was wondering too, how many of these people were
Speaker 3: actually uh did these cold defendants? But then they flipped
Speaker 3: before tryuse. You know it's a recall, right, so when
Speaker 3: it's recod gotta be more than one person.
Speaker 9: I wanted how many.
Speaker 3: I wonder how many of these people were actually his colds,
Speaker 3: but then they decided to give testimony against him.
Speaker 1: I would assume a lot even with Cassie, I mean
Speaker 1: anybody that's involved, maybe CC, with Capricorn Clocks.
Speaker 16: C C, C and KKH, Christina Christina.
Speaker 4: KK CCS, it's a lot of he had a lot
Speaker 4: of he gonna hit the stand Who Booty.
Speaker 16: Because google Booty, Witness liked Witness, don't drop me on.
Speaker 2: The show on the stage. What's the other ones name?
Speaker 2: Want to stay?
Speaker 3: That was Boutang, But that's the booty that just was
Speaker 3: there to participate. I'm talking about the boy that got penetrated.
Speaker 2: I know that's coming.
Speaker 18: So Christina is another person that is that's KK, and
Speaker 18: then CC is capral Crank Clark And you really had
Speaker 18: me looking up bootee because I'm like, well, how.
Speaker 2: Did I miss How did I miss Booty?
Speaker 18: There's more to this because Dawn Richard Darmershard you guys,
Speaker 18: remember she took the stand. Now Q from making the
Speaker 18: band has come out with some claims against her and
Speaker 18: all of this as.
Speaker 2: Well to tell us why he was crying.
Speaker 16: You did tell us why he was crying.
Speaker 18: But we need to bring it back in the next
Speaker 18: hour because there's audio and I want to make sure
Speaker 18: that we could play. But he finally revealed while he
Speaker 18: was crying about puff and while he was up allegedly
Speaker 18: and why membery he was up here? He said, y'all
Speaker 18: gonna find out later. He didn't want to talk about it.

Speaker 2: I was told they robbed him over a chain.
Speaker 3: Okay, three of y'all, Joshua Thomas, Coleman, Abdul boy and
Speaker 3: they're searching for a third suspect name Amir Early. You
Speaker 3: all robbed and killed a young man who was just
Speaker 3: trying to make it out the hood, okay, like you
Speaker 3: young brothers are okay. In fact, you killed a young
Speaker 3: man who I guarantee would have came up and came
Speaker 3: back for so many other young brothers in Philadelphia. I
Speaker 3: do not understand while we are so hell bent on
Speaker 3: hurting the people God sent to help us, and over
Speaker 3: a chain. By the way, I don't know if it
Speaker 3: was over a chain. I'm just repeating what my Philly
Speaker 3: folks told me. But whatever it was, over it wasn't
Speaker 3: something that was going to change all lives. Okay, you
Speaker 3: all are charged with murder, and in Philly, the penalty
Speaker 3: for murder rangers from life without parole to the death penalty. Okay,
Speaker 3: you both are nineteen years old, Amir is twenty one.
Speaker 3: Life as you know it is over. You will never
Speaker 3: be anything more than a number in a system. And
Speaker 3: I don't want to say what these kids be thinking.
Speaker 3: What do they know about prison that we don't know?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 3: Small people learn from their own mistakes? Why people learn
Speaker 3: from the mistakes of others? Have we not seen enough
Speaker 3: people go to prison forever to know we don't need
Speaker 3: to be out here just killing each other.
Speaker 2: You taking a life and throwing your life away for what?
Speaker 2: I wonder did they even know who Qua was?
Speaker 3: If you knew who Qua was and still took his
Speaker 3: life knowing that he was just a positive brother who
Speaker 3: genuinely wanted better for you, and I really have zero
Speaker 3: remorse for you, okay from let the white man sort
Speaker 3: it out, because there's no saving lost souls like y'all.
Speaker 3: I know we have conversations about rehabilitation, but they got
Speaker 3: to re rehabilitating in prison. They don't ever deserve freedom. Okay,
Speaker 3: Kawhi would never breathe again. He got murdered at thirty.
Speaker 3: At thirty, I was just figuring life out. I was
Speaker 3: literally just getting started and entering the best times of
Speaker 3: my life. I wasn't even married at thirty. My first
Speaker 3: daughter was born two days before my thirty of born day.
Speaker 3: You know how much is life. I've lived from thirty
Speaker 3: to now. I'll be forty seven next month, and I
Speaker 3: thank God that he blessed me with the opportunity to
Speaker 3: see those years. And I pray for at least forty
Speaker 3: seven more. Actually need fifty four more, Okay, I need
Speaker 3: to die at one hundred and one. I actually read
Speaker 3: something yesterday that by twenty thirty humans could be a
Speaker 3: mortal with the help of nanobots that'll make us all
Speaker 3: immune to diseases. I don't think I want to lift forever,
Speaker 3: because I'm sure God has another adventure for my soul.
Speaker 2: But I want you to think about this.
Speaker 3: QUI will never get to experience any of that because
Speaker 3: he's deceased. So Joshua Abdul soon to be a man
Speaker 3: when they catch you, because they gonna catch you.
Speaker 2: Y'all don't deserve freedom. Ever again.
Speaker 3: Because you let your darkness turn someone's lives out. You
Speaker 3: let your negativity, your problem steal someone else's joy, someone
Speaker 3: else's enthusiasm, took a mother's child away on Mother's Day.
Speaker 3: You deserve the worst of what your judicial system has
Speaker 3: to offer. Because I am truly sick of us being
Speaker 3: our own worst enemy, and I will never understand why
Speaker 3: we hurt people who are just simply trying to help.
Speaker 3: Please give Joshua Coleman and our dual boyd the biggest
Speaker 3: he huh.
Speaker 2: And I me and earlier.
Speaker 3: You might as well turn yourself in. I don't even
Speaker 3: I don't even know what the hell you think you going.

Speaker 16: What am I supposed to have on?
Speaker 2: What was that you wear? Now, further, before we get any.
Speaker 4: Of this to the plastics n y C. Those were
Speaker 4: the leather shorts that I was wearing.
Speaker 3: It makes no sense to wear leather in the d
Speaker 3: We at least admit that before we just judge people
Speaker 3: and act like the critic of Lauren is so bad.
Speaker 16: I focused on the leather only you are they.
Speaker 18: No, it was not a bikini. I was at a party.
Speaker 18: It was shorts. They were leather cut short.
Speaker 2: Was on stage, it was nighttime.
Speaker 18: It was a two thousands party. Shout out to Momore
Speaker 18: they get away that me and young jock host said
Speaker 18: it was a night.
Speaker 2: Time and they were not wearing leather on the beach.
Speaker 2: What you say the question is eight hundred five five
Speaker 2: one o five one.
Speaker 1: I guess people are saying that they feel like you
Speaker 1: should be wearing me and more professional. And we have
Speaker 1: CC on the line, see C, good morning, see good morning,
Speaker 1: good morning.
Speaker 15: I just want to say, this is my third time
Speaker 15: getting through to the breakfast club. I have great phone service.
Speaker 1: So what's what's your what's your coming?
Speaker 2: What's your thought?
Speaker 15: So what I was saying was if you was at
Speaker 15: the beach, then people should mind their business. But I
Speaker 15: mean if she was just out to dinner with friends
Speaker 15: or something like that, then yeah, I think she should
Speaker 15: cover up Like women clothing was generally like back in
Speaker 15: the day, was modest. They covered their arms, legs, and
Speaker 15: you know, sometimes their hair.
Speaker 2: You know, I know, right, what about leather? What about
Speaker 2: leather on the beach?
Speaker 5: I don't know about leather on the beach on the.
Speaker 1: Beach and leather, even if you feel like she should
Speaker 1: dress a little more professional when she's out and about
Speaker 1: nice at.
Speaker 15: The beach, That's what I'm saying. She's at the beach.
Speaker 24: Come on now.
Speaker 18: But friends, if it's summertime, it's one hundred degrees in
Speaker 18: New York. I can't wear shorts in the tank time
Speaker 18: because I.
Speaker 15: Like, yeah, shorts and the tank top to cover your
Speaker 15: the bottom of your butt teat and the tank top
Speaker 15: that at least covers the sid.
Speaker 18: But I just feel like I'm want to know people
Speaker 18: that maybe I know everybody. This is new and people
Speaker 18: are just now getting to know me and stuff. But like,
Speaker 18: I mean, I've been looking how I look. I don't know,
Speaker 18: maybe because I don't sit up here with y'all. Old
Speaker 18: people just understand like we're young, like this is what
Speaker 18: am I supposed to do. I'm not out here like
Speaker 18: flashing y'all on my Instagram because listen, even out then
Speaker 18: with my friends, I'm definitely showing that what's side.
Speaker 2: First of all, what makes you think there's older people
Speaker 2: that are critiquing you.
Speaker 18: I think it's you know what, you know where a
Speaker 18: lot of it came from. When I started feeling was
Speaker 18: it was.
Speaker 16: A lot of black women, and then it was an
Speaker 16: age gap.
Speaker 2: It was I don't like how you said black women
Speaker 2: just now.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean.
Speaker 18: Because I was seeing just some of the comments, and
Speaker 18: I got d ms from some women. I got to
Speaker 18: go look at their pages and not all It was
Speaker 18: so many people, and then like blogs picked up the
Speaker 18: pictures too, so the people were yell arguing on the blogs.
Speaker 18: They were arguing on Twitter, so I couldn't see everything.
Speaker 18: But the people who directly d M me and like,
Speaker 18: I think that they feel like it's with love, but
Speaker 18: it's like, what am I What do you want me
Speaker 18: to do? But they were older black women who were
Speaker 18: just like, look, we love you, we really like protect
Speaker 18: what you have going on. We want you to just
Speaker 18: basically present a certain way so that people receive you
Speaker 18: a certain way.

Speaker 4: Skin beard than you, and I did somebody say under me,
Speaker 4: but I've never even seen you wear nothing out like that.
Speaker 18: And you know, I think that was a bit of
Speaker 18: it too. It's like because most of the time y'all

Speaker 16: reason because he only been a court for two weeks.

Speaker 1: This is just this is news.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to record the show. What I told
Speaker 2: you you looked ridiculous.
Speaker 3: I told you that you looked ridiculous the first day
Speaker 3: of the court casell.
Speaker 2: This is not for you, Okay, what hello, well, hey,

Speaker 5: What's going on? Shot here from Jersey City. Alright, before
Speaker 5: I started one thing, good morning of y'all. All right,
Speaker 5: all right, so check it out right. The thing is
Speaker 5: about image is when you project a certain image how
Speaker 5: into the world. If you project professionalism, that's what people
Speaker 5: is going to see. If you project ratchetness, that's what
Speaker 5: people are going to see. You project both, people are
Speaker 5: going to be confused. So you always want to project
Speaker 5: professionalism because that's what people want to see you as
Speaker 5: as a professional. It's hard for people to then doub
Speaker 5: you down as bratchet when your professional attitude, your professional image,
Speaker 5: and your professional character is shining more than anything else.
Speaker 5: That has to be a light of professionalism. The darkness
Speaker 5: has to be your ratchetness, which should be shown behind camera.
Speaker 5: So do what you want to do, but don't post it.
Speaker 5: You should post the professionalism. That way people can only
Speaker 5: see you as a professional. Don't let people judge.
Speaker 2: You for.
Speaker 18: You should themn your life because people judge you. Is
Speaker 18: what I just want to know, what's a professional beach attack?

Speaker 16: like hey, Arthur on the beach?

Speaker 4: you still have a personality name brown girl grind and
Speaker 4: been a thing since before did he decided he wanted
Speaker 4: to go to court like that? This is You've been
Speaker 4: you and it's okay for you to be a journalist
Speaker 4: with personality. Think you're not just a robot. You're not
Speaker 4: just your job.
Speaker 1: You're a bunch of different things.
Speaker 4: I don't even like what he's talking about.
Speaker 2: You from Jersey City. But you know, if you wear
Speaker 2: on the beach, people to think you alligated that's danger man.
Speaker 16: Let's wanting to beach all right?

Speaker 2: You see that if you're just joining us. Laurla ROAs
Speaker 2: is catching some heat.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: She she does the Diddy Trial each and every day.
Speaker 1: She's actually about to leave in the second the head
Speaker 1: over to the Diddy Trial. But on the weekend she
Speaker 1: was out and about in the DR. She had a
Speaker 1: bikini on, she was showing a lot of stuff.
Speaker 4: Hosting beach party. She was also hosting you know what
Speaker 4: I'm saying, if it's one hundred and seven degrees, what
Speaker 4: youould expect for.
Speaker 2: Me to do?
Speaker 1: Now people are upset a little bit and saying that
Speaker 1: that's not professional. They want her to be more professional.
Speaker 1: They want her to act like a journalist and act
Speaker 1: like she works for one of these huge companies. Yeah, Friday, Okay.
Speaker 2: And I told Lauren this already.
Speaker 3: I did have somebody reach out to me and said
Speaker 3: they actually said to me that Laurence should decide whether
Speaker 3: she wants to be an influencer or a journalist.
Speaker 16: I think those days are dead. Yeah, I think I
Speaker 16: want you guys to understand that.
Speaker 18: And just in the first week of me covering the
Speaker 18: Diddy child the way that I've been doing it, which
Speaker 18: honestly is just me turning on my camera telling people
Speaker 18: how I feel.
Speaker 16: I've had the Wall Street Journal reach out to me.
Speaker 18: I've had NBC News for in New York reach out
Speaker 18: to me several times and we're working on something right now.
Speaker 18: I've had BBC. I've had the best because shut up,
Speaker 18: I said, wow, no, no, no, not like the news outlet,
Speaker 18: not the like. But a lot of those platforms say
Speaker 18: to me they like what I do because they can't
Speaker 18: do it.
Speaker 16: And I've never been that girl.
Speaker 18: That's why I've always said, I don't know after I
Speaker 18: left my last job, where I would work, because this is.
Speaker 4: How I am and it's not changing. I believe that
Speaker 4: they want professionalism. They go to Brown Girl grinding, that
Speaker 4: is your brand. You do nothing but what aligns with
Speaker 4: your brand there and then and they want a little
Speaker 4: bit more personality, they go to Laura l Usa.
Speaker 2: That's it all right, we got hello, who's this Hi, Tay, Tay.
Speaker 2: What's your thoughts? Tay?
Speaker 14: So I'm kind of in the middle because I'm a
Speaker 14: stay at home mom, but I volunteer at my kids'
Speaker 14: school and I'm on the parent board, and I sit
Speaker 14: on different you know, I have different titles at the school.
Speaker 14: So the administrators and the staff and everything, they look
Speaker 14: at me a certain type of way. They uphold me
Speaker 14: to a certain standard. So I remember one day recently,
Speaker 14: I came up to my daughter's school to pick her
Speaker 14: up and it was kind of warm, so I had
Speaker 14: on the spaghetti strap like shirt and you could see
Speaker 14: all of my tattoos. I have tattoos on my arms,
Speaker 14: on my chests. And they weren't mad, but they were
Speaker 14: looking at me like, oh wow, missus hooks like we
Speaker 14: didn't know you were like that. They're looking at me
Speaker 14: like a goodie two shoes. So I'm gonna say that, yes,
Speaker 14: what you wear outside of work does have an effect
Speaker 14: on your image, but that's not our fault, that society's fault.
Speaker 14: It's how they view you, and it's not how you
Speaker 14: should you yourself. So yes, like I said, I'm in
Speaker 14: the middle. Yes, I agree that what it affects your immage,
Speaker 14: buddy shouldn't since I didn't just put you in a
Speaker 14: box like, oh, I'm a journalist, I have to dress
Speaker 14: like a journalist twenty four to seven. No, I have
Speaker 14: a life outside of this job that.
Speaker 1: I do right period, Thank you Mama.
Speaker 18: What I realize is like people are not used to
Speaker 18: like normally you see a jondalists. No shade to the
Speaker 18: other journalists girls, y'all know, I love y'all, But normally
Speaker 18: you see journalists and like they're not coming how I'm
Speaker 18: coming when I dress a different way.
Speaker 16: No, I'm just saying that, Like, know, what I'm saying
Speaker 16: is that where.
Speaker 18: I you'd be quiet, I got mad at me, Like
Speaker 18: I'm wrap my hair up because you're getting on my nerves.
Speaker 18: What I'm you, Yes, what I'm saying is that my
Speaker 18: background is a lot different than these other girls.
Speaker 16: I come from runway. I've always been modeling.
Speaker 2: Girl. You would never know America's next top model girl.
Speaker 16: Actually, actually I actually listed three times.
Speaker 17: For that.
Speaker 2: Runway. I'm not even joking.
Speaker 16: Fashion Week for Mad Feeder magazine, I've done.
Speaker 2: It's a huge.
Speaker 18: Matt Feeder is a a is a new media brand
Speaker 18: for like the New Girl. So like all the new
Speaker 18: female rappers go through their their fashion show is a
Speaker 18: big deal and I opened.
Speaker 22: Like I do.
Speaker 4: This is what I'm saying. Since she was doing New
Speaker 4: York fans, you just didn't believe her. You know what
Speaker 4: I'm saying is what I listen to me. Listen, it's
Speaker 4: not about leather shorts.
Speaker 16: You know what I think it's about.
Speaker 18: People can't What I was trying to get to is
Speaker 18: people can't understand duality. I can be good at my job.
Speaker 18: I can read, I set a little bit. I can read,
Speaker 18: but I can also present well and everywhere I go
Speaker 18: I'm just nice. So if that's your issue, you'll really
Speaker 18: need to follow me because I'm cute and I know
Speaker 18: it's it's nothing I can do.
Speaker 4: Like, what do you want me to do?
Speaker 17: Be you?
Speaker 1: I agree with you a thousands said long. You should
Speaker 1: be able to do what you want to do, how
Speaker 1: you want to do it. You present yourself in court
Speaker 1: a different way. You're on the beach.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what you want her
Speaker 2: to wear on the beach.
Speaker 16: But even New York in the summertime, you.
Speaker 2: Have a good time. That's what you want to do.
Speaker 1: You don't have to dress up to prove or to
Speaker 1: satisfy anybody out there.
Speaker 2: They can all SMD. Now, you make yourself happy and
Speaker 2: whatever makes you happy. If everybody I.
Speaker 3: Would say to me, professionalism isn't about a tire, correct,
Speaker 3: It's based on your work. Because I see people who
Speaker 3: will praise Mark Cuban for coming to a meeting and
Speaker 3: a T shirt, but they want somebody else to be
Speaker 3: in a suit.
Speaker 9: Correct.
Speaker 3: But the reason they don't mind Mark Cuban being in
Speaker 3: a T shirt because Mark Cuban has already shown up
Speaker 3: and Mark Cuban has delivered results time after time. So
Speaker 3: I just think that's what it's about you. To really
Speaker 3: be looked at as a professional, you have to show
Speaker 3: up and consistently and constantly do the work.
Speaker 18: But you know what, I think, I think the days
Speaker 18: of certain professionalism being in attire are just going. Like
Speaker 18: when I even the way I talk that you know
Speaker 18: that gets critique all the time, the way I talk
Speaker 18: like this, all of that stuff. I think that what
Speaker 18: the reason why y'all even care y'all arguing about my
Speaker 18: leather and my whatever is because I'm cutting through and
Speaker 18: I'm cutting through because I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm
Speaker 18: being myself and you seeing the results, and that's all
Speaker 18: it is. That people don't understand that, And that's okay.
Speaker 18: If you don't hit, you got to hit the creep
Speaker 18: dance before you, and I had to let my hair breathe.
Speaker 18: I was just like, let me get the girls a
Speaker 18: little bit of Yes, listen, people.
Speaker 4: Want to say something saying what you want, toying to
Speaker 4: find something, But what you do take this serious? Show
Speaker 4: you really do take this stuff serious.
Speaker 2: And that's what I want to see.
Speaker 17: Yo.
Speaker 2: He did, she did. She takes it very good serious.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say the runway that you walk be
Speaker 2: right there.
Speaker 9: We didn't.
Speaker 2: We don't. Oh my goodness, all right, we got the
Speaker 2: ladies who run? What were you talking about?
Speaker 3: It?
Speaker 16: Never ladies, little fat feet, you could never.
Speaker 2: All the time.
Speaker 18: We're going back to Diddy. Yeah, and well really it's
Speaker 18: Dawn and Q from day twenty six. There's a conversation
Speaker 18: about why he was crying upset. He allegency was drugged
Speaker 18: and I don't know some other thing.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: the breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Speaker 4: Lauren becoming a straight fast.
Speaker 2: She gets them. Somebody that knows, somebody gets the detail.
Speaker 16: I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything,
Speaker 16: and she'd be.
Speaker 2: Having the latest on you.
Speaker 9: The law The Latest with Lauren La Rosa.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you have fact, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
Speaker 3: have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 2: It's the latest.
Speaker 9: The break was cloud.
Speaker 16: So Q of day twenty six. You know, they were
Speaker 16: all making the band four.
Speaker 18: He has finally come out and had a conversation about
Speaker 18: why he was so upset and crying. You know a
Speaker 18: lot of his interviews talking about Diddy and that whole conversation,
Speaker 18: and he is making some really huge allegations against Dawn Rochard.
Speaker 16: Let's take a listen.
Speaker 2: My ex at the time, which was Dawn. She gave
Speaker 2: me an ecstasy pill.
Speaker 26: Yeah, she said it was ecstasy, and she said it
Speaker 26: was from Puff to give to me, and it was
Speaker 26: red And I took it because I thought I was
Speaker 26: going to get frea hut with my girlfriend, and I
Speaker 26: trusted her that that's what it was. So I took
Speaker 26: it immediately. And she had one too. He gave her
Speaker 26: two of them. I took mine within like twenty minutes.
Speaker 26: I knocked out and blacked out. I woke up in
Speaker 26: the Twins' bedroom in the basement, and I woke up
Speaker 26: out of my sleep screaming very very loud.
Speaker 2: The Twins, Diddy Twins his girls.
Speaker 26: Yeah, I woke up in their bed to Canber's filming
Speaker 26: me and they were laughing as I woke up bottom
Speaker 26: my sleep screaming and I'm not gonna cry.
Speaker 2: It felt very sacrificial.
Speaker 27: That's why I ad met when I said I felt
Speaker 27: like they were trying to hurt me or Diddy was
Speaker 27: trying to maybe sacrifice p that night. Now, when c
Speaker 27: was up here, y'all remember that, we almost kind of
Speaker 27: got to the Diddy conversation because we were asking did
Speaker 27: they experience anything, and he was like, yeah, very triggering.
Speaker 18: He didn't want to talk about it. Then they went
Speaker 18: on I believe it was a black TV and he
Speaker 18: broke down. But now we finally have some more details
Speaker 18: and that comes from the Amy and TJ podcast Amy
Speaker 18: Robot and TJ Holmes. They have this series that they're
Speaker 18: doing with RBO Day called Covering the Didty Trial. So
Speaker 18: he was a guest. Now, those allegations are big. It's
Speaker 18: kind of crazy to hear it. Dawn actually had to
Speaker 18: come out and respond because people were like, hold on,
Speaker 18: with everything else that's going on, I don't think people
Speaker 18: even yes. Uh, So Dawn came out and said that
Speaker 18: you know, she wants to be clear. She has never
Speaker 18: drugged anyone or given anybody any pills the suggestion that
Speaker 18: she did so, it's categorically false. If such a belief
Speaker 18: were genuine, it would be inconsistent with the actions that followed,
Speaker 18: such as inviting me into your home, introduced me to
Speaker 18: your youngest sisters and family, and continue a relationship with me.
Speaker 18: It would also be inconsistent choosing to attend social events
Speaker 18: without me engaging with individuals I had previously expressed concerns
Speaker 18: about and continue to live with or provide favors to
Speaker 18: those same individuals. Many of these actions occurred while I
Speaker 18: was not present or even in contact with you throughout
Speaker 18: our time together. Even after our separation, I made a
Speaker 18: conscious decision to not share or disclose private matters or
Speaker 18: the circumstances surrounding the end of our relationship to protect
Speaker 18: you when she put you in caps.
Speaker 16: I did this out of respect for you and your family.
Speaker 2: I think the rest because.
Speaker 3: She's doing the same thing the Q that people are
Speaker 3: doing the Cassie like, why would you stay with a
Speaker 3: person after they do something right?
Speaker 9: You know?
Speaker 2: Heaneously, but I don't know what's true and what's not.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it's interesting that that's true.
Speaker 18: Yeah, the route she took, yeah, I mean but when
Speaker 18: she went so Darwishard also took the stand in Diddy's trial,
Speaker 18: and when she testified, she spoke in support of Cassie
Speaker 18: for the most part. So I just want to make
Speaker 18: sure that that's clear. But yes, people are doing that
Speaker 18: to Cassie, and yes, yes, and that's exactly.
Speaker 2: Why would you blah blah blah, that's not right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just think it's crazy that she had took
Speaker 4: the stand and nobody brought up to say that she
Speaker 4: had just worked with Diddy. She's on the last album,
Speaker 4: the album.
Speaker 18: No, they didn't get to They brought up her being
Speaker 18: in contact with him after leaving the whole Diddy situation
Speaker 18: twenty eleven, but they didn't specifically bring up the love album.
Speaker 18: And I did ask why did they not? And I
Speaker 18: was told they don't know. But yeah, so that happened.
Speaker 18: So maybe that's a bit more of an explanation for people.
Speaker 18: But picking up spirits, yeah, because yeah, picking up the spirits,
Speaker 18: pick up the spirits, picking up the spirits. Travis Hunter
Speaker 18: married his fiance Leanna Leney. They got married on Saturday,
Speaker 18: and did y'all see the video of him dancing at
Speaker 18: the reception.
Speaker 16: He seems so happy. I feel so bad for you.
Speaker 9: I love it.
Speaker 18: Oh my god, he's such a good There was also
Speaker 18: a video that when biraled him this weekend of he
Speaker 18: was like walking by a backyard and a kid was
Speaker 18: like doing football training or like runs and he stops
Speaker 18: him and kind of.
Speaker 4: Like the kid is like, oh my god. But he
Speaker 4: gives his new wife a g wagon. They're just having
Speaker 4: a good time.
Speaker 18: The wedding was beautiful, but people are having a conversation
Speaker 18: about whether or not he got a prenup.
Speaker 16: There have been reports that he has no prenup.
Speaker 2: A relationship.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 18: I mean, I think it's just because of all of
Speaker 18: the stuff that went viral leading up to the wedding.
Speaker 18: But I'm like, man, is this boy can't catch your break?
Speaker 18: Because that has become the conversation around whether he should
Speaker 18: have a prenup or not with this woman because of
Speaker 18: our reports that he does not have one.
Speaker 4: But look, if he don't want one, he don't want one,
Speaker 4: work don't let I know, he young and all that, whatever,
Speaker 4: if he don't want one and his mother not the
Speaker 4: person to talk to him about that, or you know,
Speaker 4: his wife's mother. It's all right, it's sorry. I'm pretty
Speaker 4: sure he got lawyers and all ladies of professional athlete.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: If he ain't take care of it, it may not
Speaker 4: be his decisions, Okay, I mean it may have been
Speaker 4: his decision to not have one. Like people to worried
Speaker 4: about it.
Speaker 3: People are so invested in their relationship and it's we
Speaker 3: because it's like, if they work out, they work out,
