Speaker 1: Kodak Yes, yes man, and now I'm back. And he
Speaker 1: actually didn't you don't got no manners? No, I didn't
Speaker 1: say that he just didn't use that particular phrase. Yes,
Speaker 1: he was very polite. Kodak is Kodak is a Kodak
Speaker 1: is a good, good person. I believe he's just young man.
Speaker 1: Young people make mistakes, as we all did when we
Speaker 1: were young. And imagine having access to all of that
Speaker 1: money and all of those resources and everything else at
Speaker 1: that age. You know, since he was seventeen, he hasn't
Speaker 1: been out of jail for one consecutive year, Like he's
Speaker 1: been in and out, in and out since he was
Speaker 1: seventeen and before that, Julie and all kinds of you know,
Speaker 1: you got to think about all the trauma that people
Speaker 1: go through, and the guards beating him up in jail
Speaker 1: and everything that happened. But he's gonna get really in
Speaker 1: depth about a lot of those things. And that's why
Speaker 1: I've committed my life to him helping helping, you know,
Speaker 1: people in general, hill with especially young black men, because
Speaker 1: if we don't break them generational curses, who will absolutely. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's some parts in there that I thought, like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: you might want to cry. Man. We've been passing trauma
Speaker 1: off his culture for so damn long. But this is
Speaker 1: the first generation I feel that has the luxury of
Speaker 1: actually healing, so we'll be okay. But yes, it was
Speaker 1: a whirlwind of days for me, and then and then
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club went viral yesterday, but we'll talk about
Speaker 1: that later. For Envy and be calling Kanye clown like
Speaker 1: thirty times yesterday, I send Kanye was healing energy. I'm sending, Yeah,

Speaker 1: to say after you call somebody at clown, here's the thing,
Speaker 1: And I said, Kanye was here energy people, the team
Speaker 1: ID a zillion one conversation, but you can't ever have
Speaker 1: the real conversation because what what what? That is what
Speaker 1: your statements were rooted and we would never be able
Speaker 1: to share because it's not our story to tell, correct,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So if if people knew,
Speaker 1: if people knew, they would understand why you said what
Speaker 1: you said. But I choose to send him healing energy. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the people that were involved in me, it was I
Speaker 1: got so many calls yesterday from older artists, new artists, athletes, actors,
Speaker 1: people in the industry, Yay's team, a whole bunch of people.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about a little bit. But like you said,
Speaker 1: it's it's something that you know. It's not my story
Speaker 1: to tell. It's not your story to tell. We just
Speaker 1: know and I know how it makes me feel. But
Speaker 1: we'll we'll talk about it a little bit later. I'll
Speaker 1: tell energy. You can tell. It's gonna come out when
Speaker 1: it comes out. I'm sure it'll come out. People understanding. Man. Now,
Speaker 1: we got some special guests joining us today. I got
Speaker 1: last week. I was out you guys interview with Ingrid Best.
Speaker 1: Oh man, please tell people Best Okay, So Ingrid Best.
Speaker 1: It's a very dear friend of mine. But she is
Speaker 1: the executive vice president for Come Enterprises. That's Ditty's Enterprises,
Speaker 1: and she runs the Delian and Stick and they just
Speaker 1: launched this really incredible campaign celebrating black business owners. It
Speaker 1: actually just launched yesterday. So she's gonna come up here
Speaker 1: and talk about how she's gotten into the position that
Speaker 1: she has and the team that she's created of all
Speaker 1: black women. I missed it. I was out of town English.
Speaker 1: The best. She's very very that's her last names. And
Speaker 1: these conversations are great because everybody always wants to do
Speaker 1: things in front of the camera and be you know,
Speaker 1: all out for people to see. Ingridge one of those
Speaker 1: people who makes things happen behind the scene for a
Speaker 1: long time, even before running Comb's Entertainment. So I can
Speaker 1: wait a few guys to hear that. But let's get
Speaker 1: the show cracking front page news. What we're talking about, Well,
Speaker 1: the last US military planes have left Afghanistan, so that
Speaker 1: is America's longest war twenty years. And will tell you
Speaker 1: what that's like and what Joe Biden had to say.
Speaker 1: He also is going to be speaking today about that.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, Da Da van Van. As much as we
Speaker 1: played his record field on the Worst Men of the Morning,
Speaker 1: everybody is dj Envy Angel Ye Charlomine the guy. We
Speaker 1: are to Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news.
Speaker 1: Where were starting you, Well, the last US military planes
Speaker 1: have left Afghanistan, and here is General Frank Mackenzie, who
Speaker 1: is the commander of US Central Command, speaking at the
Speaker 1: Pentagon about not getting everyone out even though the last
Speaker 1: planes have left. Look, there's a lot of hard break
Speaker 1: associated with this departure. We did not get everybody out
Speaker 1: that we wanted to get out, But I think if
Speaker 1: would stayed another ten days, Louis, we wouldn't have gotten
Speaker 1: everybody out that we wanted to get out, and there
Speaker 1: still would have been people who would have been disappointed
Speaker 1: with that. It's a tough situation, but I want to
Speaker 1: emphasize again that simply because we have left, that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean the opportunities for both Americans that are in Afghanistan
Speaker 1: that want to leave and Afghans who want to leave,
Speaker 1: they will not be denied that opportunity. I think our
Speaker 1: Department of State is going to work that very hard.
Speaker 1: In the days when we said I hope they really
Speaker 1: got everybody out, I pretty nobody misdual slice. Well, they
Speaker 1: said there's a small number of Americans in the two hundred,
Speaker 1: and they said it's like the number that's closer to
Speaker 1: one hundred Americans who remain in Afghanistan and went to leave.
Speaker 1: Now they still I thought they had to be out
Speaker 1: about the thirty first. I mean, they were trying to
Speaker 1: get everybody out. I don't know why there's still some
Speaker 1: people that haven't been able to get there. They said
Speaker 1: the last five flights didn't even have any US citizens
Speaker 1: on there. Let me find out, America Book, Spirit Airlines
Speaker 1: Flace you shot up all right. In addition to that,
Speaker 1: he also talked about the threat of terror. Now, how
Speaker 1: high is that? The terry threat is going to be
Speaker 1: very high. But I think what we'll do is we
Speaker 1: will work with the Taliban and work with the next
Speaker 1: government of Afghanistan, Afghanistan, whatever his characterization is going to be,
Speaker 1: in order to ensure that our citizens are protected and
Speaker 1: that they have an opportunity to leave. As you know,
Speaker 1: we still hold a variety of significant leverage over whatever
Speaker 1: future government exists in Cobble, and I have no doubt
Speaker 1: that the Department of State will fully exercise that leverage
Speaker 1: if you have any confident in their ability to secure
Speaker 1: the city. Right now, the Taliban, I think they're going
Speaker 1: to be challenged to secure the city. Yeah, I'm on
Speaker 1: high alert, you know, the next couple of weeks because
Speaker 1: it's the twenty year anniversary in nine to eleven in
Speaker 1: America is very vulnerable right now. You just never know
Speaker 1: if they wanted to do something, this would be a
Speaker 1: good opportunity for them, right And video from Kabo Airport
Speaker 1: does show that they were celebrating. The Taliban was celebrating
Speaker 1: and saying this victory belongs to us all and congratulating
Speaker 1: the people of Afghanistan. So they're looking at this as
Speaker 1: a victory a war that lasted almost twenty years. I
Speaker 1: mean it is the ops is gone. The ops fled
Speaker 1: the scene. So yeah, and what did so he said
Speaker 1: they're going to actually talk to the leader of the Taliban,
Speaker 1: but they said they have to engage, and so it's
Speaker 1: no way around engaging to have to deal with them.
Speaker 1: And you know, isis K is like the Taliban is
Speaker 1: saying that they're not the way that they used to be,
Speaker 1: the draconian measures that they used to take. But a
Speaker 1: lot of people are on high alert that things are
Speaker 1: going to revert back to what it used to be
Speaker 1: like before because they're supposed to be a lot more
Speaker 1: moderate now. But isis K is not supposedly part of
Speaker 1: the Taliband. It's a terror group. Oh for the record,
Speaker 1: that's what Trump is doing. And he got flat for it.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, that is agotiating with him, trying to
Speaker 1: make a deal. Front page news, all right, get it

Speaker 1: even know you. I caused up here like you owe
Speaker 1: me child before let's talk about yes through that. I
Speaker 1: understand how you feel about Kanye, all right, But I
Speaker 1: had a whole discussion on YouTube with a couple of
Speaker 1: y'all followers letting them know I don't know what y'all
Speaker 1: were expecting out It is Kanye album. Kanye is the
Speaker 1: street he doing. I g models him right, excuse me,
Speaker 1: see to god, I gotta quote you. You said that
Speaker 1: you are free hid rappers in their age. That rap
Speaker 1: about real life stuck. This man was depressed. This man
Speaker 1: was broken. This man chose to express his read through
Speaker 1: his musical masterpiece. I love the album and I'm a
Speaker 1: huge Kanye fan. I'm four eleven, but I'm six eight
Speaker 1: for Kanye. Oh. I mean, that's why my music is subjective.
Speaker 1: I'm not late. Music made you fail away because you
Speaker 1: could relate to it exactly. And I feel like Djay envied, Okay,
Speaker 1: your job is a dj T how to let the
Speaker 1: music speak. I understand that you got be And as
Speaker 1: a Kanye fan, I do not agree with everything my
Speaker 1: man does, but that album, I feel like that album,
Speaker 1: with his vulnerability, we saw him go through all this
Speaker 1: stuff with Danza dying and just falling out in the media.
Speaker 1: I think you should give it a chance. Don't call
Speaker 1: him in a clown. This was him showing his emotions
Speaker 1: about his mom. Come on, man, you die, give it
Speaker 1: a chance. I was ready to fund you. Let your
Speaker 1: car show down to mine. You can come and see me.
Speaker 1: We could have a conversation. But I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: think it is Kanye's music is clownish. I just think
Speaker 1: him as a person in what he does behind the
Speaker 1: scenes is clownish. I never I never disrespect that man's music.
Speaker 1: I mean, I actually love Kanye's music, So it has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Kanye as an artist. It has
Speaker 1: to do with Kanye as a person. But listen, that's
Speaker 1: like like Black. My daughter loves Kodak. Okay, y'all were
Speaker 1: just talking about him. I'm not a huge Kodek band.
Speaker 1: A lot of stuff you do, I can't agree with.
Speaker 1: My daughter loves this music. Girl, that's fine. But I
Speaker 1: understand that code. It does make good music regardless of
Speaker 1: this antic. You gotta you gotta let the music feat.
Speaker 1: You gotta give it a chance. Don't don't shelve it
Speaker 1: just because you don't. I'm listen. I'm listening to the
Speaker 1: whole album. I think, and I listen just personally, I
Speaker 1: think the album is kind of lackluster. He got some
Speaker 1: joints on there. I really like though, Like I love
Speaker 1: to join with Kanye and Westside, I love to join
Speaker 1: with the Locks and Jail Electronica. I love to join
Speaker 1: it with Roddy Rich. But I mean it just I
Speaker 1: don't know. It's our Forty some minutes is a long
Speaker 1: time to me. A good album an album if you like,
Speaker 1: like six or seven songs on this album, I feel
Speaker 1: like that makes it a good album. Now in the
Speaker 1: hours an hour, forty minutes. Yeah, but I do feel
Speaker 1: like there's six really really great songs on there, and
Speaker 1: that's something that I could listen to and then as
Speaker 1: if you I don't like but yeah, I just think
Speaker 1: you should have shorten it twelve songs. There's a great
Speaker 1: album within that hour forty eight minutes. And I've heard
Speaker 1: that yesterday and I completely agree because I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: I was like an hour of forty minutes, but do
Speaker 1: I expect three hunting the shows that was changing up features.
Speaker 1: But dj Vy, you had me at worked boiling. I
Speaker 1: was like, I went home on the boiling. I was like,
Speaker 1: oh God, but that's what happened. But but but that's
Speaker 1: what happens when people don't know the whole story and
Speaker 1: it's not our story to tell. And I'm a listen
Speaker 1: and I'm listen when it comes out that made you know,
Speaker 1: I may be able to say, Okay, you know what, Dnvy,
Speaker 1: I get it. You know. I still think it's a
Speaker 1: good album, but I don't think you should just shove
Speaker 1: it because of the I didn't say I was gonna
Speaker 1: show them. I didn't sell you definitely definitely said I
Speaker 1: don't control them music going to radio, So I don't
Speaker 1: listen to your call you at home with Logan and
Speaker 1: then at home and Logan, you can't make me listen to.
Speaker 1: You can't make me listen to what I want play
Speaker 1: it right now. You can't make me listen to what
Speaker 1: I want to play. My call, what I want to play,
Speaker 1: what I work out. But you know what, we're gonna

Speaker 1: your woman for a certain time. How long you know
Speaker 1: with your woman? Twenty six years? You definitely ate some booty.

Speaker 1: reverse it. I've been told y'all, reverse it. We talked
Speaker 1: about all right, breakfast club, good morning, the breakfast club.
Speaker 1: It's about report. This is the rumor report. Angela Ye
Speaker 1: on the breakfast club. All right, well, first let's talk
Speaker 1: about our show, Drink Champs. We love that show, right,
Speaker 1: And Trick Daddy was recently on and he discussed the topic.
Speaker 1: And we all know him from the Eat a Booty gang,
Speaker 1: and I feel like this has been said before, but
Speaker 1: he's very blatant about the fact that he likes to
Speaker 1: uh eat the booty. Okay, no, not not, he likes
Speaker 1: to do that. It gets done to him. All right,
Speaker 1: listen to this conversation. So it's the eat a booty game.
Speaker 1: I'm building a franchise up now. Now I'm getting the
Speaker 1: women to support the eaton booty game. Wait wait, wait,
Speaker 1: wait wait who when you say women to support the
Speaker 1: eat booty game? You say women is eating the booty? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Wait what, I don't know what You don't have your
Speaker 1: legs in the air. Though, it depends how many times
Speaker 1: a trick gonna go viold for this same thing. Every
Speaker 1: time he says this, y'all act like it's the first time.
Speaker 1: I don't know why people still shame this where you
Speaker 1: don't get it. And I feel like both of y'all
Speaker 1: have said the same thing up here too. So it's
Speaker 1: tank So a bunch of other people like y'all got
Speaker 1: to stop king shaming people for what they like to
Speaker 1: do in the bedroom. Number one, he's being funny. And
Speaker 1: number two, it can absolutely be described just getting you
Speaker 1: say that. You know you cannot say it can be
Speaker 1: described as that. We say, yeah, we say eat the
Speaker 1: poom poom, So what else could you call it? I
Speaker 1: really have no idea booty? So you get your legs
Speaker 1: in the hair too, like I've never done that, but
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't matter. That's my business in the bedroom,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But y'all got to stop
Speaker 1: king shaming people for stuff like that. And why do
Speaker 1: y'all act like this is the first time. Every time
Speaker 1: trick Daddy says it, I said times he asked topics
Speaker 1: about it before I know we have Do you guys
Speaker 1: shave the hair on your butt or nothing like that?
Speaker 1: Like back there as you man escape that human resources.
Speaker 1: But yes, I do what shaving? I mean you ask
Speaker 1: me about because I'm thinking about as you guys are
Speaker 1: getting mean, how that's the question, like this is shaver?
Speaker 1: He puts his legs out. Yes, all right, you put something,
Speaker 1: you put a vibrating thing, a vibrating you know, To
Speaker 1: be clear, Charlemagne didn't start man escaping until the Breakfast Class.
Speaker 1: Yes it is. You didn't. I started man escaping when
Speaker 1: we were doing MTV's Guy Code because the first episode
Speaker 1: of MTV's Guy Called was about man escaping. I never
Speaker 1: had heard of such a thing, but wasn't it ding
Speaker 1: also while you were on the Breakfast Club, because we
Speaker 1: had a whole conversation about it and you said you
Speaker 1: never did it. It was all mtvs Guy Cold. But
Speaker 1: you do remember you said you didn't used to man escape, Yeah,
Speaker 1: but had nothing to do with Breakfast Club. Right. That
Speaker 1: was literally the first episode of MTV's Guy Called ten
Speaker 1: years ago. Okay, well yes, man escape, yeah, as you should.
Speaker 1: All right. Now, Drake has went to Instagram to unveil
Speaker 1: some more certified loverboy merch. Now y'all saw that uh
Speaker 1: picture that he had of all the little emojis of
Speaker 1: the pregnant women, and people were confused about what that is.
Speaker 1: So what that is? And it was explained is, um, basically,
Speaker 1: well I don't think that's the cover art, but they're
Speaker 1: saying the pregnant it's not the cover. They said, that's
Speaker 1: the pregnant emojis are away for saying that the album
Speaker 1: is nine months late? Who is they who said this?
Speaker 1: So that is um According to Obio sound Well, Elliott
Speaker 1: Wilson confirmed they said it was album and DJ Academics
Speaker 1: actually spoke to Drake and Drake said, it's the album cover.
Speaker 1: Do I think it's the actual album cover? Probably not,
Speaker 1: but it gets to people talking, not to mention who
Speaker 1: gives a damn bought album covers anymore. I was thinking
Speaker 1: the same thing. Nobody ever looks at the album covers
Speaker 1: like that's how you just listen to the album. It's not.
Speaker 1: Danda has no cover. Literally, it's nothing. It's it's just
Speaker 1: a black box. People thought it was clever, but yes,
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is the cover art or not.
Speaker 1: But they're saying that this could be, you know, just
Speaker 1: because the album was nine months late so he's pregnant,
Speaker 1: or it could be, as Elliott Wilson said, the cover
Speaker 1: and you know, like you said, DJ academic said, he
Speaker 1: asked Drake, and Drake said that, yes, this really is
Speaker 1: a cover. It wouldn't be the last time Drake did
Speaker 1: a basic gas cover. I mean, if you're reading this
Speaker 1: too late was a basic gas cover. But then that
Speaker 1: became like a hit me. I love the way that
Speaker 1: little Nozas actually hijacked that cover for his own too,
Speaker 1: and he put a bunch of emojis of pregnant men
Speaker 1: all right now. Drake has also shared some new images
Speaker 1: of Certified lover Boy and Nike. The collap that they
Speaker 1: have and with together, something other than me has got
Speaker 1: to give. That's one of the shirts said. One says,
Speaker 1: should have said you love me today because tomorrow is
Speaker 1: a new day. One says, I don't miss let alone
Speaker 1: miss you the hell some t shirts. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of writing, a lot of words on there, but yes,
Speaker 1: they managed to fit it all in. You gotta at
Speaker 1: least wear a double excel to fit all the words in.
Speaker 1: All right now. Jr. Smith is sharing his college journey
Speaker 1: and everybody's really excited for him, and so he posted
Speaker 1: on social media. English is my first language, but these
Speaker 1: papers though. Joined the study group for my African American
Speaker 1: Studies class on Groupie and my classmates don't think it's
Speaker 1: me finish my English homework. Dope short story about a
Speaker 1: little girl with six brothers in Seeking Parents Approval Dope
Speaker 1: reading first tutoring session in the books I really liked
Speaker 1: missus Burke extremely helpful. So he said, I hated school
Speaker 1: growing up, and I knew this would be a challenge.
Speaker 1: But that's not going to discourage me one second. You
Speaker 1: have to be able to buckle down and lock into
Speaker 1: new journeys and challenges coming in your life, observe, learn
Speaker 1: and adapt. I'm happy for j. Smith. So he's at
Speaker 1: North Carolina A and T. And I saw somebody posted
Speaker 1: a picture like, I can't believe that J. R. Smith
Speaker 1: is in my class, in my eight am class. So
Speaker 1: that's good. I mean, I just I wish that I
Speaker 1: took advantage of a lot of the classes that were
Speaker 1: in college. When I was in college, I was just
Speaker 1: trying to get out. Well, you all wish he did,
Speaker 1: and I wish I had took advantage of a lot
Speaker 1: of the stuff that I should have, whether it's accounting classes,
Speaker 1: in finance classes, things that I had to figure out
Speaker 1: later on. I wish I took advantage of it. I
Speaker 1: just respect the fact that he's not afraid to continue
Speaker 1: to still grow and learn, you know, and try new things,
Speaker 1: because I mean, he's a multi millionaire. He don't have
Speaker 1: to go back to school. But the fact that he
Speaker 1: wants to make himself better. I respected to drop on
Speaker 1: a clues BONX to Jall Smith. Demit my favorite Carlage class.
Speaker 1: I think that I ever took was screenwriting. That was
Speaker 1: a I did photography in college. So it's fine. You
Speaker 1: can take classes that you really care about and that
Speaker 1: interests you and learn more. Yeah. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I as a doctorate, As a person with a doctorate degree,
Speaker 1: you know, I spent a lot of time. Don't classroom?
Speaker 1: What class you know what I mean? What classroom did
Speaker 1: you spend telling him? Don't don't worry about that. You
Speaker 1: know this is before doctor and that is your rumor report.
Speaker 1: He is doctor. I'm still a doctor, you are. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got front page news. Next. What we're talking about, Yes,
Speaker 1: and let's talk about about one point one million customers
Speaker 1: still don't have power in Louisiana. When are they going
Speaker 1: to get their power back? And we'll give you some
Speaker 1: updates as rescue efforts are continuing. All right, we'll get
Speaker 1: into that next. It's the breakfast slogal morning, So Breakfast Club,
Speaker 1: your mornings will never be the same. Angela. Ye here,
Speaker 1: and did you know that the General Insurance has been
Speaker 1: saving people money for nearly sixty years. Take a closer
Speaker 1: look at the General and see how they can help
Speaker 1: you save two Call eight hundred General or go to
Speaker 1: the General dot com. Some restrictions apply. Morning. Everybody is
Speaker 1: cej Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy we are to
Speaker 1: breakfast Club's getting some front page news. Where we starting you, Well,
Speaker 1: let's start in Louisiana. Hurricane Ida has left catastrophic damage.
Speaker 1: We already told you guys that one person was confirmed
Speaker 1: to have been killed. Well, now they said there's a
Speaker 1: second storm related death that was reported following Hurricane Ida.
Speaker 1: The first as a tree that fell on someone. That
Speaker 1: the next one is a man who drowned after attempting
Speaker 1: to drive his vehicle through floodwater. They said, right now,
Speaker 1: his age is unknown. I know a lot of people
Speaker 1: are trying to locate their loved ones as these rescue
Speaker 1: efforts are continuing. About one point one million customers still
Speaker 1: do not have power in Louisiana. They said. Electricity is
Speaker 1: practically non existent for most people. They're saying some of
Speaker 1: these outages could last more than three weeks, by the way,
Speaker 1: so that's really imagine having to go three weeks they
Speaker 1: said three hospitals across the state have already been evacuated,
Speaker 1: with the fourth hospital and the process of being evacuated.
Speaker 1: And according to the governor, there's also eighteen water system
Speaker 1: outages impacting more than over three hundred thousand people and
Speaker 1: fourteen boil water advisories that impacts more than three hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty nine thousand people across Louisiana. That's hard. Well,
Speaker 1: that's got to suck in two thwenty one. I mean,
Speaker 1: I went through something like that in the eighties with
Speaker 1: Hurricane h going Charleston, South Carolina. But they have to
Speaker 1: experience that in twenty twenty one, like that should not
Speaker 1: be the case for anybody to be without power for
Speaker 1: three weeks, right, And Joe Biden has addressed the damage
Speaker 1: caused by Hurricane Ida, and he is offering federal support
Speaker 1: to the states who are impacted. Here's what he had
Speaker 1: to say. And we've deployed more two hundred generators and
Speaker 1: we're already moved into the region. They've been moved in
Speaker 1: ahead of time, and the administrator, Griswell and her team
Speaker 1: at FEMA is working getting more of those into the area.
Speaker 1: And we're in close contact with local electric providers to
Speaker 1: see what they need. They're all private providers. We don't
Speaker 1: control that, but we're doing all we can to minimize
Speaker 1: the amount of time it's going to take to get
Speaker 1: power back up for everyone in the region. They said
Speaker 1: they've moved more than two hundred generators into the region
Speaker 1: and they're working to send in more. I actually talk
Speaker 1: to some people that are in Louisiana right now, how
Speaker 1: difficult it is to even try to get gas, to
Speaker 1: be able to drive anywhere from a gas station. How
Speaker 1: hot it is and there's no power, so you don't
Speaker 1: have air conditioning, you don't have lights. So people are
Speaker 1: trying to figure out. People don't want to leave either.
Speaker 1: If you're there right now, I know some people are
Speaker 1: trying to stay, but you know, it's a difficult situation.
Speaker 1: I want to own under kid how they can prevent
Speaker 1: those things for happening, because you look at other neighborhoods, like,
Speaker 1: of course, I live in Jersey and I just remember
Speaker 1: ten years ago there was areas they used to flood
Speaker 1: all the time during the rain. They used to be
Speaker 1: problems all the time, and they fixed it. They fixed it,
Speaker 1: you know, the structure to make sure it didn't happen again.
Speaker 1: And I wonder why they don't do that in certain
Speaker 1: areas that flood all the time, like New Orleans, Louisiana
Speaker 1: or all. I think Jersey flooding a little different than
Speaker 1: Louisiana flooding. Louisiana flooding is a lot more intense, a
Speaker 1: lot more. But if they know it's high, can't they
Speaker 1: figure out how it's not. It's not like it's a surprise.
Speaker 1: They know what's going to happen. They evacuate people, so
Speaker 1: when they be able to install something in the infrastructure
Speaker 1: to make sure it doesn't happen again. Maybe it's just me.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm you know, I'm just asking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this has been an ongoing issue there so and even
Speaker 1: yeah for you know, they're trying to move these generators
Speaker 1: there now for people to be able to have power.
Speaker 1: I saw a man got attacked by an alligator. That's
Speaker 1: why in the water from the floods after Hurricane Ida.
Speaker 1: All right now, two people are dead and ten are
Speaker 1: injured after a Mississippi highway washed away by heavy rain.
Speaker 1: The incident occurred on Highway twenty six in George County,
Speaker 1: and the washout they said was likely related to the
Speaker 1: rain from Hurricane Ida as well. More than fifty eight
Speaker 1: thousand people in Mississippi remain without power due to the storm.
Speaker 1: All Right, and South African researchers are keeping an eye
Speaker 1: on yet another new coronavirus variant. They're saying this one
Speaker 1: is called C one two. It's popped up across South
Speaker 1: Africa and other seven other countries in Africa, Asia and
Speaker 1: the Pacific. They're not sure whether it's constellation of mutations
Speaker 1: will make it more dangerous, but they said it has
Speaker 1: changes that have given other variants increased transmissibility and also
Speaker 1: the ability to evade the immune systems response to some degree.
Speaker 1: So they're saying that more mutations doesn't have to mean
Speaker 1: more dangerous. Some mutations can weaken a virus, but we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. They're keeping an eye on this new variant.
Speaker 1: Why does all of this sound like the Marvel Universe?
Speaker 1: I mean, mutations, invariants and all types of other stuff. Well,
Speaker 1: are the Avengers when we need them? My God? Is
Speaker 1: the avengers? The vaccine? I don't know, Senators, just imagine
Speaker 1: all these things happening at once, right we have, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just a lot like the Book of Revelation. To me,
Speaker 1: that is your front page about what everybody else doing.
Speaker 1: But you better find some healing and get right with God,
Speaker 1: because you know absolutely, I haven't found answers any place else.
Speaker 1: It's been crazy. It's between COVID and the storms and
Speaker 1: all that. It's just it's just been crazy. My family
Speaker 1: just got back this morning, and they were supposed to
Speaker 1: be back when Saturday morning because the storms held them
Speaker 1: and it was sucked. So you better get them. You
Speaker 1: better get the know God if you don't know. All
Speaker 1: right now, when we come back, we got a special
Speaker 1: guests joining us this morning. We have Ingrid Best joining us. Yes,
Speaker 1: she is the executive vice president and the global head
Speaker 1: of marketing for Combs Enterprises. That's right. We're gonna kick
Speaker 1: it with her when we come back, so don't move.
Speaker 1: It's to Breakfast Club the Morning, the Breakfast Club Morning.
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy and Ngela Yee, Charlomagne the guy.
Speaker 1: We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest
Speaker 1: in the building. She is the executive vice president of
Speaker 1: Combs's Enterprise. This ladies and gentlemen, Ingry Best, and we've
Speaker 1: talked about you on this show before when d Nice
Speaker 1: was here and he was saying, how supportive you've been
Speaker 1: of him as far as what he's been doing during
Speaker 1: the pandemic with DJing and everything, and and actually even
Speaker 1: though you work for a brand, telling him, don't just
Speaker 1: take a check to take a check, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta do what you're passionate about. Um. So me
Speaker 1: and Derek definitely connect on that level. DNA excuse me,
Speaker 1: and let me tell you. In the pandemic, I was like, Dee,
Speaker 1: let me sponsor your club, Quarantine. I got a check
Speaker 1: for you, when he was like, I'm doing this for
Speaker 1: my heart. Wow. So yeah, and he did, and look
Speaker 1: and look, look what's happening for him. The money's coming
Speaker 1: right because he's doing it from his heart. What do
Speaker 1: you like to drink? Took? Yeah? Yeah. But let's talk
Speaker 1: about Ingrid for a second, because not only is she
Speaker 1: my friend, we first connected really like on business and
Speaker 1: to me, she is one of my favorite people. Whenever
Speaker 1: I need advice on something or how to negotiate a deal,
Speaker 1: She's the person I go to. So I want to
Speaker 1: talk about how you got to where you are because
Speaker 1: I know that there's a lot of younger people who
Speaker 1: are watching, who are like, one day, I want to
Speaker 1: be an executive like ingrid Is And how did she
Speaker 1: get to that point? And you work in the spirits industry,
Speaker 1: and you've been there in this industry for so long,
Speaker 1: and it might seem like just fun going to parties
Speaker 1: having drinks, but there's so much more that happens behind
Speaker 1: the scenes. So let's start with you started out at
Speaker 1: a young age and you had a promotions company. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I started out actually doing street promotions. I worked for
Speaker 1: all the major record labels. I actually was on the
Speaker 1: Bad Boys Street Team for the Street Team to be
Speaker 1: an executive big Yeah, those legendary campaigns like the Big
Speaker 1: Macow And when you think about a lot of like
Speaker 1: the experiential agencies and activations now that came from a
Speaker 1: lot of street promotion and guerrilla marketing and they just
Speaker 1: kind of took our sauce and tried to make it
Speaker 1: their own. So a lot of what I do today
Speaker 1: comes from a lot of those early learnings from my
Speaker 1: street promotions days. Very lost art by the way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: very much so, And it's a story that needs to
Speaker 1: be told. But yeah, I've been in the business for
Speaker 1: twenty years. I started as an ambassador. I launched a
Speaker 1: little small brand for a really big company, and uh,
Speaker 1: that's where I found myself falling in love with this industry.
Speaker 1: But the turning point for me in terms of my
Speaker 1: spirit's career was really around the time that Puff made
Speaker 1: the deal with Sirok right, because it was the first
Speaker 1: time that we got to see black and brown people,
Speaker 1: got to see someone you know, at that that had
Speaker 1: a seat at the table. He got a seat at
Speaker 1: the table for us, and that was really what kind
Speaker 1: of put the fire under me. I'm like, you know, this,
Speaker 1: this is a real this is a career. You know,
Speaker 1: there's something here. And when I started, there was there
Speaker 1: were no black and brown people that I saw anyway,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean for me, it was the receptionist
Speaker 1: and maybe an assistant, but in terms of management level
Speaker 1: making decisions, they're just weren't people that look like us.
Speaker 1: So from from my very early start, I was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm gonna mix this up and I'm
Speaker 1: anna change. And so that's one of the things I've
Speaker 1: been committed to doing is making sure that black and
Speaker 1: brown people have representation in the spirits industry, which is
Speaker 1: why me and did he connect the way that we do, right,
Speaker 1: because that's always been his ambition as well. Now before
Speaker 1: you landed there, let's talk about your path in this
Speaker 1: spirit's business. Because you worked for a Boccardi, right, Was
Speaker 1: that your first? No? So, I've been in the game
Speaker 1: almost twenty years. I started out launching a brand for Diagio,
Speaker 1: and then I went on to work for Diago for
Speaker 1: five or six years. I then was recruited by LVMH
Speaker 1: now for Diagio for people who don't know what Diagio is.
Speaker 1: They also are the company that explained how Diagio works,
Speaker 1: just for people who don't know. Yep, So full circle
Speaker 1: moment for me. I started at Diago and now I'm
Speaker 1: managing did He's partnership with Diagio. So Diago is our
Speaker 1: partner now on siroc and Delon. I worked with them
Speaker 1: for five years. They're the biggest supplier in the world.
Speaker 1: They own most of the brands that people are enjoying
Speaker 1: at bars and at home. I then went on to
Speaker 1: work for I got recruited by LVMH for the moet
Speaker 1: Hennessee division. I started working across the portfolio wine spirits
Speaker 1: both and Champagne and then worked on the Hennessee team.
Speaker 1: So when you've seen all that work where Hennessey really
Speaker 1: revitalized itself, that was a team that I worked on.
Speaker 1: And then I worked on Belvedere try to help them
Speaker 1: get their act together. And then I got recruited actually
Speaker 1: from Jay's team at Rock Nation to come and oversee
Speaker 1: the joint venture for Boccarti and Jay on Douce. Boccarti
Speaker 1: is the parent company for Yes McCarty's a parent company
Speaker 1: for du Say and partnership with Jay. They co own it,
Speaker 1: and I basically oversaw all the marketing for du Say.
Speaker 1: And then I got a call from Diddy and the
Speaker 1: team at Comb's Enterprise, and you know, again a full
Speaker 1: circle moment. You know, when I think back to how
Speaker 1: I started my career, he was very much so his
Speaker 1: deal with Sirock was so influential because I was like,
Speaker 1: finally we got a piece of this thing. And so
Speaker 1: for me, it really is a full circle moment. And
Speaker 1: so now I'm the head of marketing for Comb's Enterprise.
Speaker 1: We oversee Sarak and DeLeon, and we're you know, looking
Speaker 1: at other brands to increase, you know, and grow our
Speaker 1: portfolio and it's just it's a it's incredible opportunity. Here
Speaker 1: we talk about that for a second because people love
Speaker 1: to act like Diddy don't really own some of that
Speaker 1: Shaq and daileon, but he has ownership in it. Yeah
Speaker 1: for sure for Sarak. Listen, it's a mastermind you know,
Speaker 1: marketing partnership that he put together, and all over the
Speaker 1: world if you say Sarak, what people say is Diddy. Yeah. Um.
Speaker 1: And so there's there's no denying the connectivity and the
Speaker 1: fact that he absolutely um is the anchor for that brand.
Speaker 1: And then with Delion again he predicted the intersection between
Speaker 1: culture and and tequila. No, no one really understood what
Speaker 1: was going to happen in that category the way that
Speaker 1: he did. Um. And he's a black man that owns
Speaker 1: a tequila and his partner is Diagio. Um. And it's
Speaker 1: big business. A lot of people don't realize. But the
Speaker 1: Spears business, which is why you see so many people
Speaker 1: jumping in it is top hip hop hip hop artists
Speaker 1: every year. Yeah. I saw you posted a picture of
Speaker 1: your team that you have which is all black women, yes,
Speaker 1: which is unheard of in the spirits industry. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're we are the only team that looks like us.
Speaker 1: I have seven black women marketers that are incredible. They're
Speaker 1: the best and the best. We can go toe to
Speaker 1: toe with anybody. So I'm kind of calling out the brand.
Speaker 1: They are what make me great. And both of the
Speaker 1: brands are growing double digits. It's no accident because these
Speaker 1: women just get it right and they're hard working, and
Speaker 1: we look like the consumer we're talking to the versus battles. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we did we you know. And again that was another
Speaker 1: prediction on on Ditty's behalf where he was like, make
Speaker 1: that happen. I'm like done because he knew that that
Speaker 1: was just going to be such a big moment and
Speaker 1: culture and it has proven to be and we've been
Speaker 1: at the center of that. All right. We have more
Speaker 1: with Ingrid Best. So we come back to don't move
Speaker 1: this to Breakfast Club morning. I want to everybody to
Speaker 1: see j Envy Angela Yee Charlomagne, the guy we all
Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club was still kicking it with ingd Best,
Speaker 1: the executive vice president and global head of marketing for
Speaker 1: Spirits and Combs Enterprises. We have Ingrid bestish yeeism. During
Speaker 1: this whole a sense to where you are now a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Part of why this position was so attractive to me
Speaker 1: was because I knew that I would be in a
Speaker 1: situation to go back and grab a lot of those
Speaker 1: young women that have been through situations like myself, where
Speaker 1: you know, you're not getting the appropriate titles, you're not
Speaker 1: being offered their appropriate packages, You're being asked to wait
Speaker 1: in the same positions much longer than your white counterparts.
Speaker 1: And it's obvious, like the treatment as obvious, and it's traumatizing, right.
Speaker 1: I think obviously the George Floyd moment and the moment
Speaker 1: with Black Lives Matter made companies realize that they were
Speaker 1: under the microscope. So you're starting to see them appoint folks,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of ask figureheads because they have to.
Speaker 1: They're like, Okay, we need a head of diverse and inclusion. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I don't. But it's also continue it. Yeah, right now,
Speaker 1: while we're under the microscope, we're gonna do this and
Speaker 1: then we'll move away from it later. It can't be surface.
Speaker 1: And so I would say for those companies, I'm probably
Speaker 1: you know, they keep an eye on me because I'm
Speaker 1: so vocal about it, Like let's talk about it. There
Speaker 1: is racism in this industry, like there's racism in all industries, right.
Speaker 1: I think the difference here is that your consumer is
Speaker 1: black and brown, and so you gotta do you gotta
Speaker 1: do the right thing, right, and we all have to
Speaker 1: demand that they do the right thing. So it's good
Speaker 1: to see, uh, some of my peers that are finally
Speaker 1: getting positioned in the right places. And you know, my
Speaker 1: thing is like you gotta seat, go get everybody else
Speaker 1: and get them a seat, right, Like that's our responsibility.
Speaker 1: And so that's what I've done with the seven women
Speaker 1: that work for me, and they are incredible, you know.
Speaker 1: And that person don't know you also have a son, yes,
Speaker 1: and you had your signing pretty early, and you also
Speaker 1: had to work though and working in nightlife and working
Speaker 1: in spirits. It is a very time consuming job. It
Speaker 1: also requires travel, it requires you being out late. How
Speaker 1: was that balance for you? Yeah, you know it. Listen,
Speaker 1: I'm a teenage mom. I have my son at eighteen
Speaker 1: years old. The first thing I want to say is
Speaker 1: to all you teenage moms, there's nothing you cannot do.
Speaker 1: So for me, it was like the very very early on,
Speaker 1: I was like Okay, I have this mouth to feed.
Speaker 1: I have to figure this thing out. And so he
Speaker 1: certainly has been my reason. And it wasn't easy. It
Speaker 1: was it was my community, thank God for you know,
Speaker 1: his father and his father's family and my mom and
Speaker 1: my family and like your tribe. And I knew early
Speaker 1: on without my tribe, I wasn't going to really be
Speaker 1: able to balance like the love that I had for
Speaker 1: being an adult professional and a career person, but the
Speaker 1: responsibility that I had to being a parent. Did I
Speaker 1: reach away at Sway? Sue was one of your early mentors. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Sway is absolutely one of my early mentors. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: from the day. Yeah. Yeah. So I in turn for Way,
Speaker 1: and you know, my promotions, my street promotions career was
Speaker 1: because of Sway. So Sway had a street promotions company.
Speaker 1: I interned for him. I fell in love with it.
Speaker 1: I was really good with it. He kind of moved on,
Speaker 1: and that was really how we stepped in. I was like, yo,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take all your accounts. If you're okay with that,
Speaker 1: I'm going to take on. But yeah, I absolutely owe
Speaker 1: my connection to entertainment, my passion for it to Sway.
Speaker 1: And I tell him that as often as I can,
Speaker 1: I wish more young people now were in doing internships
Speaker 1: without my internship. There's a lot of things that I
Speaker 1: just wouldn't have been exposed to. And did he talks
Speaker 1: about that he was the intern. I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: willing to do anything to figure it out. And I
Speaker 1: think there's just so much value and interning and having
Speaker 1: people that you can look back. When I think back
Speaker 1: to Sway, I'm like, man, what would my life have
Speaker 1: been if I hadn't of met him, if I didn't intern? Remember,
Speaker 1: I had a kid as an intern to the problem
Speaker 1: now is that they make it too complicated to be
Speaker 1: an intern. Yeah, you got to be in school X
Speaker 1: like I wasn't. I didn't go to college, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? So what about those kids from the
Speaker 1: hood who just got dry or just got talent, Like
Speaker 1: they just need an opportunity right, Like where they're gonna
Speaker 1: get that from? Right? And that was me. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: don't think nobody sets the tone like like black women.
Speaker 1: I really truly honest, I feel like that. And I
Speaker 1: think that when you, especially as a black man, when
Speaker 1: you see a true black women, the first thing you
Speaker 1: think is because you're thinking to your mom, you're thinking
Speaker 1: to your grandma, you know, your sisters, whatever. I just
Speaker 1: think nobody sets the tone like black black women are incredible.
Speaker 1: We're super passionate, we are nurturing. So the other thing
Speaker 1: is like we take time to be human. We're not
Speaker 1: just employees, we're not robots. We very much so you know,
Speaker 1: zooms with my team, it's a moment. You know, sometimes
Speaker 1: we pray. Sometimes somebody's having a hard time, they may cry.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna tell you one thing. They're gonna they're
Speaker 1: gonna bang out an incredible marketing plan. And I think
Speaker 1: you know, companies that have us at the helm, they
Speaker 1: see the difference. You know, we're putting up the numbers.
Speaker 1: We're making change. We have a beautiful way of recruiting
Speaker 1: right and influencing people want to work with us and
Speaker 1: for us, and it goes a long way and you
Speaker 1: see it in your business. I'm super proud of the
Speaker 1: work that I see black women doing, especially the black
Speaker 1: women in leadership, and we look out for each other.
Speaker 1: But spekin of which we have this Black Excellence campaign
Speaker 1: that's going on with entrepreneurship and businesses. So I want
Speaker 1: to make sure that we talk about that and that's
Speaker 1: what SIAK and I'm involved in that as well. You are,
Speaker 1: and thank you so much. So we launched a campaign
Speaker 1: in the middle of the pandemic called Sarak Stands, and
Speaker 1: it's really our opportunity to look, everyone knows that Siak
Speaker 1: is a brand that's about fun and celebration. Well, we're
Speaker 1: also a brand that's anchored in doing the right thing
Speaker 1: and being a voice right and it was important for
Speaker 1: us to make sure that people understand that you could
Speaker 1: have fun. You know, you can be a part of culture,
Speaker 1: but you can also be anchored in something. So we
Speaker 1: launched Shark Sands last year. We're kicking it off again
Speaker 1: um this month, and we purposely kicked it off towards
Speaker 1: the latter part of August because it's focused around black businesses.
Speaker 1: And so the assumption is, oh, they're doing this program
Speaker 1: for Black Business Month, and we're like, no, we we're
Speaker 1: doing programs for black businesses three hundred and sixty five
Speaker 1: days a year. We're working with you to interview some
Speaker 1: of those businesses and highlight some of those businesses. It
Speaker 1: was important to work with you because you are pioneering,
Speaker 1: you know, your entrepreneurial journey as a black business owner
Speaker 1: and it's inspiring people, right, and so there's a connect
Speaker 1: connection there. So Siak stands, you know, it is just
Speaker 1: launching an initiative around black businesses. We're highlighting three businesses
Speaker 1: in New York, three businesses that happened to be owned
Speaker 1: by black women, which were really excited about. We work
Speaker 1: with some mentors to identify some of those, by the way,
Speaker 1: and Pantina's a mentor. As a mentor and our bust
Speaker 1: up here, yeah, but we we we identify folks that
Speaker 1: we thought could really help us pick some really dope
Speaker 1: black businesses. So again it's our opportunities. And these business
Speaker 1: owners get to be on billboards. But they're all so
Speaker 1: excited about when I spoke to them. That's the one
Speaker 1: thing that they're like, Sirak is paying for you to
Speaker 1: be on a billboard for your business. That's a big deal. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And we are doing obviously above and beyond that investing
Speaker 1: making sure that these businesses you know, are profiled, right,
Speaker 1: But then we're also working with companies that can also
Speaker 1: help you know, other black businesses benefit from some of
Speaker 1: the things that we're doing. This is none of my business.
Speaker 1: I'm just asking because you're so dope, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: you're paid well, but you know, you helped build up
Speaker 1: so many of these brands. At some point somebody got
Speaker 1: to say, well, hey, miss Ingrid, would you like se
Speaker 1: equity ownership as well? I love that. I'm actually glad
Speaker 1: you brought that up. My goal and what I will
Speaker 1: eventually do is on my own brand, and that's something
Speaker 1: that Diddy and I have taught about. He's super supportive
Speaker 1: of it. I'm working on some things that have been
Speaker 1: passionate and near and dear to me um and he's like,
Speaker 1: look when you when the time comes, we're gonna make
Speaker 1: it happen. And so ultimately my thing is like you
Speaker 1: take all these experiences and then you say I know
Speaker 1: how to do this, I'm a master at this, and
Speaker 1: then what is it that I'm passionate about? And so
Speaker 1: that's what eventually I think my path is going to
Speaker 1: lead as well. And did he is super supportive of it,
Speaker 1: and and ultimately, like for him, he's like, that's the
Speaker 1: pinnacle right here. I came in, I did this marketing partnership,
Speaker 1: then I own this tequila. You know, I've had this
Speaker 1: legacy of having black women in leadership and ah, now
Speaker 1: I can actually also help someone kick off their dream.
Speaker 1: All right, well, Ingry, I appreciate you so much for coming. Frost,
Speaker 1: make sure and tell people where they can find you,
Speaker 1: because I know after this you're gonna have a ton
Speaker 1: of questions. You can find me on Instagram, Missunderscore I best.
Speaker 1: You can find me on LinkedIn under my name Ingrid Best. Listen.
Speaker 1: I love mentoring folks. I'm only one person, so my
Speaker 1: team A lot of times it's like you can't take
Speaker 1: on another another mentee. But it goes back to your point.
Speaker 1: It shouldn't be so difficult to get guidance, that's right.
Speaker 1: If you're somebody that's eager, you want to learn, you
Speaker 1: want to intern, there should be people that are available
Speaker 1: to you that you don't have to go through this
Speaker 1: vigorous project, so you could reach out to me. I
Speaker 1: try to read every DM, every message on LinkedIn, I
Speaker 1: really do. And yeah, that's where you can find it.
Speaker 1: And you never know who's gonna who's gonna end up
Speaker 1: being who? Right, So that person that you showed love
Speaker 1: to back, you know, they're the biggest y'all got a
Speaker 1: great relationship, right, right, and that's always been something that
Speaker 1: I hold dear. It's like, you don't know where people
Speaker 1: are going to land. And listen, the young people, the
Speaker 1: young women that work for me, I am making sure
Speaker 1: that they're going to be better. They are going to
Speaker 1: be the young women that when I'm a bit older,
Speaker 1: I'm going to like you going crazy, you know, and
Speaker 1: so and I'm excited about that. So it's good to
Speaker 1: be here. I appreciate y'all. Thank you for coming. Yeah,
Speaker 1: listen Ingrid's not like I'm like, hey, you gotta do
Speaker 1: some interviews. She's like like, okay, But it's fun to
Speaker 1: be on the side. Like I said, you know, you
Speaker 1: know how many artists I was on the other side,
Speaker 1: you know, of of the glass looking in and like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're doing a great job. So this is fun. I
Speaker 1: didn't have any nerves either. I thought I would. I
Speaker 1: was like, well, when you launch your brand, you gotta
Speaker 1: come back. Oh I will you work with Diddy? How
Speaker 1: you got nerves and you work with Diddy? Unpredictable? Yeah,
Speaker 1: now you gotta be You gotta definitely be strong to
Speaker 1: work with that brother. He's a good brother. We have
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. We have a love he's a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. He's a lot of love parties, a
Speaker 1: lot of club love, a lot of rock, a lot
Speaker 1: of dead leon But uh yeah, it's been good to
Speaker 1: be here with y'all. Thank you, Thank you. This best.
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club's filling the team. This is the
Speaker 1: Rumor Report with Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. But
Speaker 1: let's talk. Kanye's tenth studio album, Donda over sixty million
Speaker 1: streams in the US on Apple Music in the first
Speaker 1: twenty four hours. It set a twenty twenty one record
Speaker 1: for the streaming service, and it was the third highest
Speaker 1: total ever in that spand it also was number one
Speaker 1: and tapped a record one hundred and fifty two countries
Speaker 1: on Apple Music's album charts in its first twenty four hours,
Speaker 1: and it occupied nineteen of the top twenty spots on
Speaker 1: its daily Top one hundred global Songs charts. So all
Speaker 1: I've worked, all anticipation work, all of listening parties and
Speaker 1: the pushbacks and everything else worked on Spotify got more
Speaker 1: than ninety four million worldwide streams, the second most all
Speaker 1: time ever for Spotify. So congratulations to him. Now, there
Speaker 1: was a lot of drama, as you know, and one
Speaker 1: of the things that happened was Soldier Boy was upset
Speaker 1: that he was removed from the album. The verse that
Speaker 1: he did was cut from remote control. Here's a Soldier
Speaker 1: Boy talking about Kanye who didn't even tell him that
Speaker 1: he didn't put his verse on the album. It was
Speaker 1: just more of a thing to where it's blaming it
Speaker 1: to my fans, so where if they're not in the
Speaker 1: dark about the whole situation. He blamed it on Universal
Speaker 1: You saw that tweet as cow all the reason he
Speaker 1: said that, why you ain't said it before the outcome out?
Speaker 1: You wait time? Expressed myself on social media and then
Speaker 1: you made an excuse. I don't give a damn if
Speaker 1: he man, I don't care hypeel Hey man, you could
Speaker 1: have called me before everything. You couldn't called me and said,
Speaker 1: drakeco just the reason why you didn't make the album.
Speaker 1: TAMZ always catches up a Soldier Boys somehow. Now. He
Speaker 1: also posted he did the same ish on RoboCop on
Speaker 1: amber Rose was in the studio years ago. I hate
Speaker 1: working with this dude. He needs help seriously, and then
Speaker 1: he called him vagina. Well that's why you call him,
Speaker 1: he said, he does he could be the presidents at
Speaker 1: your goofy asked down somewhere. That's why I hope don't
Speaker 1: f well. I think he meant to right f with you,
Speaker 1: but he said f you. You don't have no right.
Speaker 1: I don't like your behavior, like Danny As had said,
Speaker 1: don't call my phone. No more weird ass and where
Speaker 1: That's why Kim left your bipolar ass. That's not cool,
Speaker 1: that's right, masson the brother healing energy man. All right,
Speaker 1: he went, and then he could call me at Kim
Speaker 1: Kardashian he playing too much. And he also put up
Speaker 1: his verse from remote control. Now, I don't know how
Speaker 1: the industry works. Do you have to give people phone
Speaker 1: calls when you remove them from records? Do you let
Speaker 1: them know? I mean, I think it's proper etiquette if
Speaker 1: you record a verse with somebody in an I will
Speaker 1: say this, A lot of artists don't know if they
Speaker 1: made an album or not until it comes out. And
Speaker 1: that's the truth, right, Like you might do a verse
Speaker 1: for somebody you don't know. And then we've had artists
Speaker 1: up here all the time who like I recorded one
Speaker 1: hundred songs, I only put twelve on the album, you know,
Speaker 1: And sometimes but if they put out a version of
Speaker 1: a song that you will own and you're not on it,
Speaker 1: I think it's only right to have a conversation. I think.
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't say, but he did share their
Speaker 1: text messages back and forth. You know it would be nice,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't always happen. And that's just the truth.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that there's a ton of artists who did
Speaker 1: versus that didn't make it onto the album, right, and
Speaker 1: you don't know who it comes out. Just send them
Speaker 1: healing energy, soldier boy, That's all all right now. Twenty
Speaker 1: one Savage is speaking on owning his masters and he
Speaker 1: said he makes more money off album sales than touring.
Speaker 1: I had a platinum album before I signed my idea.
Speaker 1: You had to play in them independent, you owned you? Yes,
Speaker 1: I own my master. Okay, every song you ever heard,
Speaker 1: hard everything, I own it a lot. My split I
Speaker 1: got a seventy thirty split with my label. I get seventy,
Speaker 1: they get thirty. I make more money off my album
Speaker 1: sales than I do off torn that's him A million
Speaker 1: dollars worth of Game of Gillian Wallow who to my
Speaker 1: guys Willie Wallow and Gilly y'all gonna stop backing like
Speaker 1: um twenty one savage and got good sense he's okay
Speaker 1: dropping a clue ball twenty months. Oh yeah, but he's
Speaker 1: always said that he was independent at first and he
Speaker 1: made tons of money, that that deal was amazing, So
Speaker 1: all right now. Offset in the meantime was at NASDAC
Speaker 1: headquarters in Times Square and he was celebrating Reservoir Media
Speaker 1: going public. It's an independent music publishing company. It's the
Speaker 1: first of its kind to do an IPO and the
Speaker 1: first female led music company to go public as well,
Speaker 1: thanks to the leadership from its founder and CEO Offsets.
Speaker 1: Involving is because the Megos catalog is under Reservoir Media
Speaker 1: under that umbrella, so he claims his partners with the company.
Speaker 1: And he actually rang the bell at Nasdak, So congratulations
Speaker 1: to him, and I saw Cardi B was there supporting
Speaker 1: her man and Reservoir Media posted this morning Reservoir wearing
Speaker 1: the Nasdak opening bell and celebration of our recent IPO.
Speaker 1: It is both exciting and humbling to take this next
Speaker 1: step in Reservoir's journey. We look forward to all the
Speaker 1: opportunities this creates as we deepen our commitment to investing
Speaker 1: in entertainment, So congratulations to them all right. Now, TI's
Speaker 1: daughter Deja Harris, was talking about not liking her hair
Speaker 1: texture and I saw a lot of people commenting and
Speaker 1: a lot of back and forth about it. This was
Speaker 1: on Friday. She opened up about her struggles and how
Speaker 1: she didn't like her texture. She said, I hate to
Speaker 1: say it, Slash admitted, but I'm so sad that I
Speaker 1: have my dad's hair texture. Sad because it's so much
Speaker 1: to deal with manage, Sad because I feel like it
Speaker 1: just doesn't fit me nor as this texture one that's
Speaker 1: appreciated or uplifted as much as the other textures. And
Speaker 1: then she said, anytime I see someone with type four hair,
Speaker 1: I always compliment them because I know how it feels
Speaker 1: to genuinely not like your hair, slash texture. I never
Speaker 1: want anyone to feel like that. It looks so bomb
Speaker 1: on other people but me, Yeah no. So a lot
Speaker 1: of people did come to her defense and feel like
Speaker 1: they could relate and understand that, and some people felt like,
Speaker 1: you know, they criticize her for opening up about her hair.
Speaker 1: She's saying saying that she's focusing on positive comments rather
Speaker 1: than the negative ones. But she said, I'm actually focusing
Speaker 1: on the uplifting positive comments as opposed to the negative.
Speaker 1: Their tweet was only about myself, but I was open
Speaker 1: about how I fail because I know others might possibly
Speaker 1: be able to relate, and some of them did listen.
Speaker 1: I feel her though, because you know, my whole life
Speaker 1: growing up, I used to hate my hair texture. That's
Speaker 1: why I've been doing this natural hair journey to try
Speaker 1: to get my curls back straight. And it was just
Speaker 1: a lot to deal with. It would always be like
Speaker 1: you wash it, and then your hair when it's curly,
Speaker 1: it gets all naughty real fast. They didn't have a
Speaker 1: lot of hair products to be able to use for
Speaker 1: you to be able to deal with you here. Now
Speaker 1: there's a ton of products on the market, which is great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people celebrate natural hair, but it is and sometimes certain
Speaker 1: hair textures are just a lot more difficult to even
Speaker 1: try to deal with, like to style and maintain. And
Speaker 1: that's why you know I got I got three daughters.
Speaker 1: Like I told my daughters all the time, I love
Speaker 1: your hair. I love your crown like I love them.
Speaker 1: My wife takes day braids out and they got the
Speaker 1: big afros running around the house. Plus, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of children's books out there that celebrate the beauty of
Speaker 1: black hair. Nowadays, you got like my big natural Hair.
Speaker 1: But what's her name? I think it's CJ. CJ. Baker,
Speaker 1: but didn't have that coming up. I'm saying it's great now,
Speaker 1: but I can understand and a lot of women can't
Speaker 1: understand the struggles that we've had to go through with
Speaker 1: our hair. That's why even having certain products in these
Speaker 1: stores now on the shelves and accessible to people is
Speaker 1: so important. Hello, Hello boy, Matthew Cherry Slut the Matthew Cherry.
Speaker 1: Because a lot of a lot of books out there
Speaker 1: that reinforced the beauty of black hair. And if you've
Speaker 1: got daughters like I do, I would encourage you to
Speaker 1: buy them all. All right now, Regina Hall is going
Speaker 1: to be joining Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg and a
Speaker 1: new Netflix comedy Me Time. So Night School. The writer
Speaker 1: John Hamburg who wrote Night School, was going to write
Speaker 1: in direct the picture with him. Also he's also going
Speaker 1: to be producing it alongside Kevin Hart and Brian Smiley
Speaker 1: for Heartbeat Productions. So they announced I'll live this on
Speaker 1: social media all right. I'm Angela Yee and that is
Speaker 1: your room of reports. All right, thank you, miss Ye,
Speaker 1: and let me shout out to everybody that called me yesterday.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, yeah, we gotta get into that, because we
Speaker 1: didn't even do that. When we were talking about you.
Speaker 1: We talked about Kanye's Donda album and how well it did,
Speaker 1: and you had some missues with Kanye. You called them
Speaker 1: clowns sometimes. I called him a clown and I still
Speaker 1: stand by that, and I still mean that send them
Speaker 1: healing energy. No, look, I mean I do, but I
Speaker 1: still think he's a clown. You can send the clown
Speaker 1: healing energy. But so funny now, so when it comes
Speaker 1: to so many people call me artists, athletes, OG's newer artist,
Speaker 1: younger artists, Kanye's team and ask me why I felt
Speaker 1: that way, and I explained to him why I felt
Speaker 1: that way, and you know, they asked me, well, why
Speaker 1: do you think that the people that I name, which
Speaker 1: was push your t John Monopoly are free and Boo
Speaker 1: were like that too, because I felt, like I said,
Speaker 1: I feel like you enable him to do it, like
Speaker 1: you don't stop him from doing the wild out stuff
Speaker 1: behind the scenes that I think is really disrespectful. And
Speaker 1: he should be humbled. And they told me that that's
Speaker 1: a lie. It was like that it's not true. They
Speaker 1: was like, when you're dealing with somebody with that has
Speaker 1: imaginal problems and bipolar and things like that, you can't
Speaker 1: necessarily control them. It's uncontrollable. You do what you can
Speaker 1: to make sure that things are right, and they try
Speaker 1: to stay in there as a brother. They said, yeah,
Speaker 1: they agree some of the things that he does is foul,
Speaker 1: but they said they can't control that, man. And I
Speaker 1: called them clowns as well, And I called push you
Speaker 1: to yesterday. I called Free yesterday and I spoke to
Speaker 1: Boo yesterday for a while that I spoke to them, man,
Speaker 1: we had great conversations and they told me what they're
Speaker 1: trying to do that help that situation. So to those brothers, yes,
Speaker 1: I get it, and me calling your clown was foul.
Speaker 1: But I still think Kanye, it's a clown for the
Speaker 1: things that if you ever had to deal with somebody
Speaker 1: who's bipolar and not taking their medication, it is not
Speaker 1: an easy thing to do. If you love them, you
Speaker 1: try to help and be around, but it is hard
Speaker 1: to control a person. I just want to know how
Speaker 1: do you explain to your wife that she was on
Speaker 1: the phone somebody named Boo for hours? Because as soon
Speaker 1: as she says who you're on the phone. When you
Speaker 1: say Boo, do you have to explain that this is
Speaker 1: his name? Who was always in the middle of time?
Speaker 1: That remember he broke up your fight, Charlottagne, we'll fight
Speaker 1: ahead and had no fight. Why don't we lie like
Speaker 1: this on the radio? A picture of it online? So
Speaker 1: I did have with dancing when I was dancing with Booth,
Speaker 1: shout shout the bull and shout to Free. I just
Speaker 1: speak to Free. Me and Free just yelled at each other.
Speaker 1: But spot shout all them individuals that you know, we're
Speaker 1: able to tell me their side. And you know when
Speaker 1: I tell them, you know when I make mistakes, I
Speaker 1: say it, but I still think what Kanye does And
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna throw your yeez. He's away though, no
Speaker 1: So like so the clown shoes, which ones? Which one?
Speaker 1: Some of the MC clowns shoes some of the MC clowns.
Speaker 1: The Runners is good money. The Runners is good money.
Speaker 1: The one, Oh y'all tickle me so much. I'm sending
Speaker 1: everybody healing energy. Man, right, but tell you yet you
Speaker 1: said tickle me. Well, it's a guy out there that
Speaker 1: is fighting to get this girl back. We'll discuss four
Speaker 1: after that hour. We all been there before too. I
Speaker 1: like this, not like this. We'll get to. The next

Speaker 1: availability may vary. Check with carrier. I was born to donkeys.
Speaker 1: The donkey last club, Yeah donkey Today for Monday, August thirty,
Speaker 1: first last day of the month, goes to Rodney William Metster.
Speaker 1: Rodney is thirty six years old and he was recently
Speaker 1: sentenced the twenty five years in prison. Oh. He admitted
Speaker 1: the fourteen charges, including but not limited to, kidnapping, assault,
Speaker 1: threatening with a handgun, all types of stuff. Why oh
Speaker 1: why I did Rodney do this? Who did Rodney do this? Too? Well,
Speaker 1: before we get into that, let me just say that.
Speaker 1: I once heard someone say sometimes you have to fake
Speaker 1: a suicide to get your girl back. When I heard that,
Speaker 1: I understood where a person was coming from, because I
Speaker 1: too have felt like I wanted to make a permanent
Speaker 1: decision based off temporary feelings back in the day when
Speaker 1: my now wife broke up with me. I don't know
Speaker 1: if I really wanted to complete suicide. I just know
Speaker 1: that I felt like the sky was falling and I
Speaker 1: wanted my woman back, and I felt like making her
Speaker 1: feel sorry for me would work. I know, I know
Speaker 1: toxic is out, all right. Thank God for therapy, growth
Speaker 1: and healing. Thank you God, Thank you God. Well, this
Speaker 1: guy Rodney mentions him he definitely needs me healing, okay,
Speaker 1: and he's no different all right. Actually, Rodney, in an
Speaker 1: attempt to gain sympathy from his ex wife, he jumped
Speaker 1: out the window because first he faked the cancer diagnosis. See,
Speaker 1: I don't play like that, all right. You turned out
Speaker 1: to be what you pretend to be. I'm not playing
Speaker 1: about having no cancer, okay. Well, according to Sheriff's Office
Speaker 1: Sheriff's Office investigators, that plan didn't work. AKA, his wife
Speaker 1: didn't give a damn Okay. Ex wife probably heard the
Speaker 1: news and said, I'm gonna send him healing energy and
Speaker 1: kept her day moving. So Rodney divised another plan, this
Speaker 1: one even more diabolical than the first. See Rodney Metser
Speaker 1: decided to devise the plan the kidnap and save his
Speaker 1: ex wife in a bid to win her back. Listen
Speaker 1: to what I just said. Rodney mets Her divised the
Speaker 1: plan the kidnap and save his ex wife in a
Speaker 1: way to win her back. Now back on January first
Speaker 1: of this year, I guess Rodney's ex wife was on
Speaker 1: some New Year and New Me energy and when Rodney
Speaker 1: tried to get back with her, she denied him. So
Speaker 1: Rodney came up with this plan, the kidnap and safe
Speaker 1: his ex wife in a bid to win her back.
Speaker 1: But not just to kidnapper, all right. He wanted to
Speaker 1: kidnapper and save her. Okay, just like a man. Right.
Speaker 1: Ladies want to be both the problem and the solution.
Speaker 1: When the reality is, when you toxic like Rodney, you
Speaker 1: just the problem. But I'm not judging. I'm sending him
Speaker 1: healing energy. Okay, listen to this story. Rodney broke into
Speaker 1: his ex wife's house wearing a mask and displaying a gun.
Speaker 1: When he spoke, he described his voice all right. He
Speaker 1: hit her with the butt of the gun, tried to
Speaker 1: scramble her two times. He zip tied her hands, assaulted her,
Speaker 1: placed the pillowcase over her head, and dragged her to
Speaker 1: the deck and told her if she moved from the
Speaker 1: deck she would be shot. Then Rodney went to change
Speaker 1: his clothes and came back to his ex wife's house,
Speaker 1: trying to be hero and called the police. Now, Rodney
Speaker 1: Metris couldn't have denied this if he tried. Evidence in
Speaker 1: the case was substantial, okay. Cherokee County Sheriff's found the
Speaker 1: handgun and Metor's apartment, as well as zip ties that
Speaker 1: matched the one found on his ex wife. Investigators also
Speaker 1: saw Rodney on surveillance video carrying a package of zip
Speaker 1: ties out of a local lows all right. Rodney's cell
Speaker 1: phone in laptop search history, revealed to investigators that he
Speaker 1: searched such topics as how long before you start to death,
Speaker 1: how to change the sound of your voice, and how
Speaker 1: long it takes to choke someone unconscious. I couldn't make
Speaker 1: this up if I tried. Not granted that, how long
Speaker 1: before you starve. The death is what most men who
Speaker 1: lose their wives google because they can't cook, and a
Speaker 1: man cannot live off Chick fil a alone. All right? Now,
Speaker 1: Da Rachel ashe who prosecuted the case, said Rodney mets
Speaker 1: her as a master manipulator. I believe that as an understatement.
Speaker 1: And it's also very interesting to me that men will
Speaker 1: figure out all these ways to get all women back
Speaker 1: when we lose them. But the one thing we need
Speaker 1: to do when we are together, it's just act right. Okay,
Speaker 1: It's really not that difficult. Just simply act right when
Speaker 1: you together, which said lady, and maybe y'all still be together. Now.
Speaker 1: I know certain circumstances lead you to do certain things,
Speaker 1: but that woman's intuition at some point kicked in and
Speaker 1: she realized I got to get away from this human
Speaker 1: Rodney before his trauma kills the both of us. And
Speaker 1: guess what you did, Rodney prove her right. Okay, your
Speaker 1: ex wife was absolutely correct in leaving your ass because you,
Speaker 1: my friend, are sociopath. Now, Rodney Mitsche has been sentenced
Speaker 1: by Judge Anthony Anthony Baker the seventy years okay, with
Speaker 1: the first twenty five years to be served in confinement
Speaker 1: and the remaining forty five to be served on probation.
Speaker 1: Let me tell ya something, man, when you love something,
Speaker 1: let it go. If it comes back to you, then
Speaker 1: it's meant to be all right, it's yours. Nope. But
Speaker 1: also when you love something, let it go. And if
Speaker 1: you have to come up with criminal plans to get
Speaker 1: said thing back, remember the first part, Let it go
Speaker 1: and let it stay. Go on. Please let mmy may
Speaker 1: give Rodney Metscher the biggest he are he ha, he ha,
Speaker 1: You stupid mother? Are you dumb? M wow? I think
Speaker 1: a lie? I mean no, no, we go all out
Speaker 1: to get up back, but don't go all out to
Speaker 1: keep it when we together, right, that's ridiculous. Okay, just
Speaker 1: do right while you're with her and you won't have
Speaker 1: to put yourself in these type of situations. This is
Speaker 1: extreme though, I mean, come on, you think yeah, I
Speaker 1: think it's extremely Man. Now you got to live twenty
Speaker 1: five years in prison, driving yourself crazy over that woman

Speaker 1: discussion with the Breakfast Club. Talk about it morning. Everybody
Speaker 1: is y angela yee? Charlemagne the guy we are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Now if he just joined us, we're talking
Speaker 1: about Charlomage's don't here the day would you get donkke
Speaker 1: to Charlemagne? All Rodney meted this guy from Georgia who
Speaker 1: first he faked cancer, a cancer diagnosis to get his
Speaker 1: ex wife back. When that didn't work, he divided the
Speaker 1: plan the kidnap and save her. So he kidnapped her,
Speaker 1: then left the house, came back dressed in some other
Speaker 1: clothes and called the police and untied her and stuff
Speaker 1: like he was the hero and how much time he
Speaker 1: got seventy years twenty five in prison, forty five on
Speaker 1: herbation goodn'tess gracious? All right? So we're asking, what's the
Speaker 1: craziest thing you've done to get your girl back or
Speaker 1: to try to get your girl back? Charlemagne, I mean
Speaker 1: just fake suicide? Regular? Yeah, I mean that wasn't a
Speaker 1: fake suicide. I just said I'm gonna kill myself if
Speaker 1: you're not with me, or something like that, something along
Speaker 1: those those lines. What about for you, ye, what's what's
Speaker 1: the craziest thing a guy has done to you? I
Speaker 1: actually have to get a restraining order. This guy used
Speaker 1: to my ex boyfriend, used to stop me all the
Speaker 1: time I would come home. He'd be waiting outside the
Speaker 1: house as soon as I walked up. He'd be waiting
Speaker 1: outside my job. It was like everywhere I went. So
Speaker 1: I ended up having to get a restraining order and
Speaker 1: we had to go to court. Then he tried to
Speaker 1: sit next to me in court. I think one of
Speaker 1: the craziest thing is I think I called my wife's mother. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I called my wife's mother, called my wife's brother before
Speaker 1: try to talk to them. To them, I thought that
Speaker 1: was wild. That's not really wild. I'll tell you one thing.
Speaker 1: Saying you're gonna commit suicide, thing, don't try that with
Speaker 1: a woman that's healed and whole, because a woman that's
Speaker 1: healed and whole is gonna tell you I wish you
Speaker 1: healing energy. I wish you healing energy, and that don't
Speaker 1: have nothing to do with me. Don't put that on me.
Speaker 1: Correct and boy, that right there, it'll it'll mean, it'll
Speaker 1: bring you back to reality. And I've been there. I
Speaker 1: wrote about it in the book that comes up next year,
Speaker 1: how I felt, what got me to the lowest point
Speaker 1: where I didn't want to be here anymore. And I
Speaker 1: take it serious. So when people ever say that they
Speaker 1: want to commit suicide, I take it extremely serious because
Speaker 1: you don't know what they're dealing with. You just never know.
Speaker 1: And that's why I said, when you know I was,
Speaker 1: I said during Dunkey, the day that my homeboy once said,
Speaker 1: you know you have sometimes you gotta fake suicide to
Speaker 1: get your girl back, And you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's a face, because you really do feel like
Speaker 1: that when you're in that position, you really do feel
Speaker 1: like if I can't be with this woman, I would
Speaker 1: rather not be here. Now. That is a I was
Speaker 1: much way way younger when this, when this happened, and
Speaker 1: you know, I had a lot of healing that I
Speaker 1: needed to do on my own. But yes, you do
Speaker 1: get to that point where you feel that way. Yeah,

Speaker 1: Yeah you my brother Wax, my daughter Paige, m that
Speaker 1: is my daughter. Okay, but she's she's white, that's right,
Speaker 1: and you have that's right. I saw all these people
Speaker 1: are backing little black babies, like when you got me
Speaker 1: a grown white one. I don't know if you want
Speaker 1: her calling your daddy after you hear this r Kelly
Speaker 1: tarling from you gotta make everything weak because we're about
Speaker 1: to talk about this. Al let's do it. Listen, gott
Speaker 1: it's report for Breakfast Club. Well, this r Kelly trial
Speaker 1: is continuing in Brooklyn, and yesterday the first man who
Speaker 1: was actually accusing r Kelly took the stand. He's going
Speaker 1: under the name Lewis, and so what he says happens
Speaker 1: is that he met r Kelly at a McDonald's and
Speaker 1: he sexually assaulted him when he was seventeen years old.
Speaker 1: He said r Kelly invited him over to a music studio,
Speaker 1: but instead brought him to his house and actually performed
Speaker 1: earl sex on him. He said, he was working the
Speaker 1: overnight shift back in two thousand and six at a
Speaker 1: suburb in Chicago. R Kelly was thirty nine years old
Speaker 1: at the time, and according to quote Lewis, he said that,
Speaker 1: you know, he invited him to come to his home
Speaker 1: in another suburb of Chicago. When he got there, they
Speaker 1: met in a detached garage where r Kelly had exercised
Speaker 1: equipment and a boxing ring, rather than in one of
Speaker 1: the studios that he had in the house. He asked
Speaker 1: me what I was willing to do for music now.
Speaker 1: Louis said he would carry his bags and things like that,
Speaker 1: but he said R. Kelly was unreceptive. Then he asked
Speaker 1: him if he had any fantasies and quoted r. Kelly
Speaker 1: as in, you never had fantasies about men? I said no,
Speaker 1: Louis continued, and then he crawled down on his knees
Speaker 1: and proceeded to give me oral sex. He zipped my
Speaker 1: pants down and he started doing it. Now. He also
Speaker 1: said that he didn't have any type of reaction to
Speaker 1: the oral sex, So I guess R Kelly stopped and
Speaker 1: he asked him to stop, and then he said he
Speaker 1: swore Lewis to secrecy he said, don't tell anyone we're
Speaker 1: brothers now. He said he continued to see r Kelly
Speaker 1: after that he wanted to be mentored for his music career,
Speaker 1: and when they asked him why, he continued, you know,
Speaker 1: he said he just was really trying to make it
Speaker 1: in the music business. And he said on subsequent occasions,
Speaker 1: r Kelly would record some of their encounters while he
Speaker 1: was sexually abusing him, and he asked that he called
Speaker 1: him daddy. Other women have also testified that r Kelly
Speaker 1: recorded their sexual encounters and demanded that they call him daddy. Previously,
Speaker 1: he said as his relationship with him got stronger, he said,
Speaker 1: I was like a brother, that was his little brother.
Speaker 1: And he tried to bribe another r Kelly accuser so
Speaker 1: she wouldn't testify against him. So just a lot of
Speaker 1: different things. And then he also discussed an incident of
Speaker 1: non consensual sex that involved another person. He said r
Speaker 1: Kelly snapped his fingers and a young lady came out
Speaker 1: from underneath a boxing ring and crawled over to him
Speaker 1: and started performing oral sex in both him and r Kelly.
Speaker 1: He said it was uncomfortable, and he also said another
Speaker 1: time he passed out from drinking at a party and
Speaker 1: he woke up alone with r Kelly, unsure whether or
Speaker 1: not they had a sexual encounter. So this trial is
Speaker 1: continuing on. Will continue to give you updates as they're
Speaker 1: in court today as well. But ongoing theme here. He
Speaker 1: had the women and now this first male sexual accuser
Speaker 1: who said he was groomed from from the age of seventeen,
Speaker 1: calling him daddy, recording these sexual encounters wearing people to secrecy.
Speaker 1: Another woman says that r Kelly assaulted her days after
Speaker 1: allegedly marrying Aliyah in secret. He said she was seventeen
Speaker 1: at the time. And you know, she said. R Kelly
Speaker 1: had two men approach her and her nineteen year old
Speaker 1: friend after the show, and as the dressing room cleared out,
Speaker 1: he asked the girls to play a game of who
Speaker 1: could kiss it better, and then the girls kissed him
Speaker 1: before he unzipped her pants and had unprotected sexual intercourse
Speaker 1: at her. How was none of this on TV? I
Speaker 1: would think that, you know, for all the coverage that
Speaker 1: you know, given R Kelly and you know, these these
Speaker 1: these things over the years, that the court trial would
Speaker 1: be on television, right. I'm not sure why they haven't
Speaker 1: put it on TV. But we told you previously that
Speaker 1: a lot of people aren't allowed in the courtroom right
Speaker 1: now because of COVID and for whatever other reasons that
Speaker 1: they have. So it's just the jurors and the alternate
Speaker 1: jurors that are in there as well. All right now,
Speaker 1: another drama Summer. Walker and London on the track have
Speaker 1: had a going back and forth on social media that's
Speaker 1: really messy, and she has called him the ghetto baby
Speaker 1: daddy from hell. She went on social media and said,
Speaker 1: London calling and dming everyone around me because he's blocked
Speaker 1: talking about If you care about Summer, get that away
Speaker 1: from her. So if anything happens to me it was
Speaker 1: him ghetto baby daddy from hell, I'd be minding my
Speaker 1: business and never call him unless it's about the well
Speaker 1: being of my child. Here's what else she had to say.
Speaker 1: Yo was terrorizing me for two years, bro. Because I
Speaker 1: was with it. I gave him back. I tried as
Speaker 1: best as I could to keep him involved with his
Speaker 1: children's lives. Brought you here, didn't even tell you. She
Speaker 1: didn't even tell you. I was there. He was mad
Speaker 1: and we talked. I'm like, surely I had no problem
Speaker 1: with you. I want to be good. Let's you know
Speaker 1: our kids, they can grow up together. I can't wait
Speaker 1: till she paris come over to the playroom. Blah blah
Speaker 1: blah nah. Because she was my baby, daddy, you still
Speaker 1: wanted to fight. I don't want to fight any you host.
Speaker 1: So she's talking about all the baby moms that she's
Speaker 1: had to deal with, and she also posted I'd be
Speaker 1: trying so hard to mind my business. And she said,
Speaker 1: and come get this car. I don't want nothing from you.
Speaker 1: And this ish ain't even paid for it. I like
Speaker 1: my car is paid off now. London on the truck
Speaker 1: responded on social media. He said, it's goofy. He said,
Speaker 1: it ain't even funny. I really be trying to spare
Speaker 1: Shorty because I understand her mental health ain't where it
Speaker 1: needs to be. But the line got to stop calling
Speaker 1: DM and who for what? Post the current receipts if
Speaker 1: it's accurate, don't lie. Plus, my new woman ain't going
Speaker 1: for no issh like that. And then he said about
Speaker 1: the truck, it's cute too. I'm gonna have some body
Speaker 1: come get it tomorrow. Put the jewelry in the armrests.
Speaker 1: I don't want you to have nothing you don't want.
Speaker 1: I ain't going to keep playing with you on this internet.
Speaker 1: You're still making payments. This is just too messy. I
Speaker 1: don't know if we should even get into all of this.
Speaker 1: Send healing energy. I'm sending this whole room will report
Speaker 1: healing energy. Yeah, it's a lot of drama. Jesus Christ
Speaker 1: all right, And now here's what else Summer Walker have
Speaker 1: to say to all of London on the tracks his
Speaker 1: children's mothers. I get absolutely nothing for from these. I
Speaker 1: was supposed to have my child be married like that
Speaker 1: said you would new and carry on with my career.
Speaker 1: Sitlent me. I have no problem with y'all. Bro leaves
Speaker 1: me alone. Bro, I'm saying, I want to leave me
Speaker 1: alone alone. Lee ah Man. I'm sending them all healing.
Speaker 1: I hope so, because really the most important thing is
Speaker 1: the children, and so right now it's really messy and
Speaker 1: I know everything is fresh, but hopefully they get to
Speaker 1: that space where they can co parent peacefully and not
Speaker 1: have to do with this. Got one more ye to
Speaker 1: bring the vibe down anything else. I think that's it
Speaker 1: for now. You know, Times started off telling everybody having
Speaker 1: birthday and celebrating life, and then I was still where

Speaker 1: everybody in Steve j Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy.
Speaker 1: We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest
Speaker 1: in the building. This young black woman owns a trucking
Speaker 1: business that is making millions. She she talks about where
Speaker 1: she started from, how she got into the trucking business.
Speaker 1: Casey Cooper. She's the CEO of the Compass Circle. Welcome.
Speaker 1: Thank you so for people that don't know who Casey
Speaker 1: Cooper is. Who is Casey Cooper and what is your business?
Speaker 1: I'm Casey Cooper of the Company's Circle. Thank you for
Speaker 1: that intro I started a trucking company about sixteen years
Speaker 1: ago and kind of just kept failing forward. Got into
Speaker 1: heavy hall, wide loads, tall loads, heavy loads, and government contracts.
Speaker 1: So I've been awarded almost six million dollars worth of
Speaker 1: government contracts in the last three years. And we teach
Speaker 1: women own and minority companies how to get access to
Speaker 1: the same opportunities through government contracts or certifications so they can,
Speaker 1: you know, grow their business. Yeah, I'm a fan of
Speaker 1: mwbs because I feel like a lot of people don't
Speaker 1: take advantage of them and apply for that certification. So
Speaker 1: can you talk about what that process is like and
Speaker 1: how you even knew about it? I just really care.
Speaker 1: You know, desire is one hell of a drug. Anything
Speaker 1: you want bad enough, you will do the research. So
Speaker 1: I was googling, I was getting with my local procurement office,
Speaker 1: and kind of once you start getting into that industry
Speaker 1: and you know, you start getting emails, you start getting
Speaker 1: invited to like all the happenings. WMB varies in different states,
Speaker 1: depending on you know what's going on. Of course, everybody's
Speaker 1: backed up right now, but are gonna want to see
Speaker 1: like two years of tax returns? They're gonna want to
Speaker 1: see that you are a legitimate, viable business, so you
Speaker 1: can get this certification to move forward. Now, how did
Speaker 1: you get into truck And you're from Virginia Beach, and
Speaker 1: what fifteen years ago in Virginia Beach when you started
Speaker 1: this company Virginia Beach. I'm sure it wasn't about trucking,
Speaker 1: and drugs were heavy and Virginia Beach at the time,
Speaker 1: a crime was heaving Virginia Beach and partying was heavy
Speaker 1: in Virginia Beach. There was no Miami back then. We
Speaker 1: went to Virginia Beach this party. So how did you
Speaker 1: get into trucking? So when I was stifteen, I had
Speaker 1: vendom machines and so I would be like fifteen, going
Speaker 1: to get my dollar bills and go hitting them all.
Speaker 1: So I'm making like four or five start the vendom machines.
Speaker 1: It's not at a fifteen year old. That's not what
Speaker 1: a fifteen year old does, you know typically, So how
Speaker 1: did you get into vending machines? How did you get
Speaker 1: this entrepreneur type of mind? I don't know nobody in
Speaker 1: my family. My parents are working, middle class, retired people.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I think it's just from people
Speaker 1: just telling you no. Like back then, it was no uber,
Speaker 1: it was no lift, so you had to like get
Speaker 1: case quarters and use the phone. White Pages picked me up.
Speaker 1: So I became very resourceful and I just I got
Speaker 1: those machines. It was older gentleman in my neighborhood. He
Speaker 1: was he had like accounts at the airport, and I
Speaker 1: convinced him to just rent me to Back then, I
Speaker 1: was fifteen, so it was quite some time ago, but
Speaker 1: for twenty five dollars a month for two of them.
Speaker 1: Back then, I was doing music really heavy, so I
Speaker 1: put them in the studio. I would go get my
Speaker 1: money and I was like, set on, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to be the one making this money. That's how I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do it. So that was like my first face.
Speaker 1: I got about twenty five, and I was like, Yo,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get me a dump truck. I don't know
Speaker 1: where it came from. It just popped up in my
Speaker 1: dump truck. Yeah, and I'm like, okay, I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: a millionaire. I'm gonna have this fleet. I'm gonna do this,
Speaker 1: and it just did not happen that way. I mean,
Speaker 1: I ended up a millionaire. But so what happened with
Speaker 1: the business. So, so what was the bad part about
Speaker 1: the business? You got your first dump truck, and then
Speaker 1: what happened. The first one was a piece of crap.
Speaker 1: It was eighty thousand dollars. So the truck that was
Speaker 1: like twenty two hundred insurance was six hundred at one age,
Speaker 1: I was like twenty five. So I'm spending six hundred
Speaker 1: a week on fuel. It was just horrible. It was
Speaker 1: a piece of crap. It was actually a converted road tractor.
Speaker 1: Did somebody put a dump body on? So for anybody listening,
Speaker 1: don't do that. Road tractors are not made to go
Speaker 1: off road like that. But my mom had co signed
Speaker 1: for me, so my motivation was like I can't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can't do it. But I was up against a
Speaker 1: converted road tractor. So I ended up terminating the lease.
Speaker 1: I had to pay like twenty grand to get out
Speaker 1: of it. And then I just kept buying trucks, buying trucks,
Speaker 1: buying trucks, got my license, got my twit car, got
Speaker 1: my escort and pilot's license, and I just kept I mean,
Speaker 1: I was like failing forward, but I kept going to
Speaker 1: the next steps escort. You gotta break it down like
Speaker 1: three year olds. I don't know what escort escort to
Speaker 1: some people like yes, please, I've come too far. Please.
Speaker 1: So just like this building, this building is a tall
Speaker 1: I don't know how many stories, but it was a
Speaker 1: This was a job to pull together millions of dollars.
Speaker 1: So I would bring in like the tall beams that
Speaker 1: actually hold the building up. And so sometimes that stuff
Speaker 1: is so wide or so tall or so heavy that
Speaker 1: it's not safe during you know, normal hour. Person that
Speaker 1: slows down to traffic because that es and you got
Speaker 1: to take up the Yeah, we have to keep it safe.
Speaker 1: And sometimes I mean this stuff would be so big
Speaker 1: we would have to carry it at night like shutdown tunnels.
Speaker 1: It was a whole production. So I think the first
Speaker 1: time I got the first escort bill was like eleven
Speaker 1: thousand for the week. I was like, oh Na, who
Speaker 1: I need to talk to to get my license? My
Speaker 1: dad got his license, My boyfriend's time got his license.
Speaker 1: So we were just trying to save money. But I
Speaker 1: ended up getting into so many other things, so it
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. Now I want to get back to
Speaker 1: these government contracts because you said you've gotten six million
Speaker 1: dollars what the government, yeah worth the government contracts. You know,
Speaker 1: a lot of women are eligible, and it gets a
Speaker 1: little chicy how things get done, because I've heard of
Speaker 1: stories where like, you know, white women are eligible for
Speaker 1: this right and so their husband or family member will
Speaker 1: sign up for something and then they'll get the certification
Speaker 1: with the woman in the family. But that takes away
Speaker 1: from all So it's supposed to benefit black people and minorities.
Speaker 1: So can you talk about that whole process and how
Speaker 1: you manage to get six million dollars almost six million
Speaker 1: dollars worth of contracts. Yes, So same thing like I
Speaker 1: was saying earlier. I mean I was just taking all
Speaker 1: the classes. Everybody's local municipality or state has some kind
Speaker 1: of pro We had a small Business Administration, yes, and
Speaker 1: I've taken classes there too, and I got my certification. Okay,
Speaker 1: but if you don't use it, you can't complain, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So even though we don't speak
Speaker 1: to each other in that language, like I'm not sitting
Speaker 1: here talking to you about an RFP and rf we
Speaker 1: just we don't communicate that way. I think it's a
Speaker 1: little off putting because culturally We're just not introduced to that,
Speaker 1: and project management is not something that we're really reared on.
Speaker 1: If our parents did have businesses, they were working in
Speaker 1: the business, you didn't really see your pops sitting back
Speaker 1: calling all the shots. So same process. I mean, you
Speaker 1: just have to get in there, find out what your
Speaker 1: state has to offer because it's going to vary. I
Speaker 1: probably have gotten over forty thousand dollars worth of free
Speaker 1: things business plans. I'm talking about elaborate business plans, employee handbooks,
Speaker 1: like policies, procedures. Most of us are not walking around
Speaker 1: with that stuff. But that's what it takes to get to,
Speaker 1: you know, this apex level. But you have to just
Speaker 1: really tap into it. The government contracts are there. My
Speaker 1: first one was about two months after I got registered
Speaker 1: in stamps. I had no blue what I was doing, like,
Speaker 1: no clue. I just knew that I had to get
Speaker 1: the paperwork together. I just had to get it together
Speaker 1: and I would get I would get a swing. No,
Speaker 1: I just registered. So www. Dot sam dot gov is
Speaker 1: the federal government's UM like wheelhouse to register. So once
Speaker 1: you go in there and you register, which is absolutely
Speaker 1: free UM, then you're eligible to start looking at contracts,
Speaker 1: bidding on contracts, so on and so forth. Now I
Speaker 1: don't recommend if you have no idea, you know, no
Speaker 1: experience whatsoever, just start bidding. But I was already doing
Speaker 1: my trucking thing. So I was ten years in by
Speaker 1: that point. You have a program where you teach people
Speaker 1: do it all the time. Break that down. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: there's so many certifications. There's one called the eight A,
Speaker 1: the letter M, the number eight and the letter A.
Speaker 1: I'm in that program. This is my fourth year. It's
Speaker 1: a developmental program for minorities who have disparities. UM that
Speaker 1: allows you to actually bypass the bidding process. So my
Speaker 1: five million dollar contract I got because of that certification.
Speaker 1: I would have never got that opportunity. That easy about
Speaker 1: that certification. So you know, you have total small business,
Speaker 1: which most of us are total small business. You have
Speaker 1: woman owned, economically disadvantaged woman owned hub zone a day.
Speaker 1: There's a myriad of them. You just have to pick
Speaker 1: the ones that apply to you and make them work
Speaker 1: for you. And all this information. By the way, it's free,
Speaker 1: it's offering and you can go and do these classes.
Speaker 1: Those class well, you pay for it with your tax dollars.
Speaker 1: That's what I always say. So you need to make
Speaker 1: sure you use these resources. And here's the thing to Angelos.
Speaker 1: So I'm from Virginia, That's where I got all of
Speaker 1: my training from. In this particular time and setting when
Speaker 1: I was going after all of these classes. You had
Speaker 1: to be making two hundred and fifty thousand a year
Speaker 1: to even get the free government classes. Wow. So let's
Speaker 1: just say you make seven dollars an hour and you
Speaker 1: gotta side business. You're able to scrape up you know,
Speaker 1: sixty thousand growth, you're not even eligible to take the class.
Speaker 1: So systems are put in place for it to be systematic.
Speaker 1: It makes no sense. So everybody has, you know, different opportunities.
Speaker 1: And that's just one. I mean, it's now you have
Speaker 1: YouTube people on clubhouse talking about government contracts. Fifteen years
Speaker 1: ago people were not talking about government contracts and body
Speaker 1: was talking about trucking serio. People get rich off of that.
Speaker 1: Oh I'm done very well. Yeah, there's companies that can
Speaker 1: go from being a small company oh yeah, a multimillion
Speaker 1: dollar company. Oh yeah. And then at that point you
Speaker 1: have to decide, because if you're making thirty thousand a year,
Speaker 1: you don't really know what it's like to be in
Speaker 1: charge of seven millions. So each way I thank God
Speaker 1: for now. Even now I'm like, I don't want to
Speaker 1: grow my company to one hundred million dollars. That's not
Speaker 1: what I want to do. You know, it's just a
Speaker 1: different level of responsibility. Okay, So we appreciate you for
Speaker 1: joining us. Thank you. How can people find you and
