Copper Covie is a great name for a restaurant in Atlanta, right now, Cove Restaurant. You said Copper Covie, Like you go? You go there to cops from COVID get some nice food and Okay, no Copper Cove. So I was out there last night just chopping it up with brothers about different things that they're

doing in different event smith that they're doing. I was talking to one brother yesterday's plays in the NBA, and he owns a cannabis license out in in the South, and he was telling me how he got it and what he does and the whole procedure of doing it. Because I'm trying to get run in Jersey, and he was just telling it like it's It's just great because

there's so much black excellence in Atlanta. So you get to chopped up with so many different people doing so many different things that you don't really get to see whether you're chopping it up with brothers that work at different stores and different businesses. So I really really enjoyed that. To shout out to everybody in Atlanta. I'm here, I'm sure, but part of Atlanta. Are you investing in a little bit of everything? But not just Atlanta, but George as well.

So houses in Fayetteville. Then we're buying houses. I don't I'm not particularly I don't know the areas of Atlanta, but different houses that pop up on auction dot Com. We're looking at a couple of buildings, a couple of multi units down here, and I'm doing my car show, so we're setting all that up while we're here. So I just love Atlanta. Man. Yeah, it's a very cultural weekend too, by the way. I mean, you got NBA All Star Weekend this weekend, but you got a couple

the movies. Send Yo Hall because he's a talk show god, and I'll send ya Hall show inspired me so much. And you know, I've gotten a chance to talk to us send you quite a few times, you know, off the air, but this is our first public conversation on the air, so you know, coming to America's out on

Amazon Prime Video right now, so definitely. Yeah. You know, one of the conversations we were having in Copacod, which is so funny, we were talking about hold and you know, it's good to talk about a brother that's doing so much and investing in this that and even how much he is and what he turned it to where he came from. But we're all in there, like, Yo, what

you think Hole was gonna buy next football team? Were like, I don't know if there's a football team for sale right now, like we really know, like we never like we like, we ain't at price right but like, yo, you know what he's selling the Cowboys right now? Like we don't know, but we know you would you would never know what he's doing. He know, he is literally the epitome of stay low and keep firing. And I love it. As the late great Christopher Wallace once said,

stay low and keep firing. I love it. Let's get the show crack the front page Knews. What we're talking about? He asked, Well, Joe Biden had some things to say about these masks. Man's being removed, and now people are offended that he used the word Neanderthal. Okay, I know another nd word he could have used that with fifty word is that Charlemagne. I better be happy. All right, we'll get to the next. It's the breakfast call that Drake. Oh,

we'll Drake be playing right now. We got what hey, drama, Drama stopped everything for the Drake. We got that Drake. You know, we got that Drake. It's new Drake. It came out today. It's called What's Next. He's spitting on this. It's the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy angela Ye, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. That was Drake, New Drake with What's Next? Drake a

three song. I don't even know what you call it, y'all guess it's just a three pack three three pack, three pack. None of y'all say Drake better than Soldier boy. I don't know why we don't be having drops that say new music from Drake. But I'm not a producer. All right, Well, let's get in some front page news

where we starting you. Well, let's start with these mask mandates and have five states Texas, Mississippi, Iowa, Montana, and North Dakota have ended or will soon end statewide mask mandates. Now there's eleven states that never actually required face covering statewide, and that's Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idahoa, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Tennessee. So of course Joe Biden had some things to say about that, and we

discussed this yesterday. I hope it would realized by now, make it different. We are on the cust for being able to fundamentally change the nature of this disease, because the way we did would get vaccines and people farms. The lost thing we need is leanderthal thinking that and the name thoughts. Take off your mask, forget it, It's still matters. I might be a little dumb. What's wrong

with that word? All right? Well? Senator Marco Rubio went on Twitter and he said President Biden's use of an old stereotype is hurtful to modern Europeans, Asians and Americans who inherit about two percent of their genes from Neanderthal ancestors. She should apologize for his insensitive comments and seek training on unconscious bias. And then they link to a CNN article that reported on Princeton University research finding some Neanderthal DNA among Africans. Oh my god, middle finger to all

of that rhetoric listening. People aren't Neanderthals. But it's just socially irresponsible. It's ass backwards. That's what Joe Biden should have said. This ass backwards. Either we want to slow down coronavirus cases all we don't. If mask were proven to work, and you know you see coronavirus cases going down all across the country, wear your mask, simple as that. Why would you tell people not to wear a mask?

Not say anything because here's a part of a party where they use a whole other n word to describe people with African DNA. All right, what word is there? Nigger? All right now. In the meantime, the House displayed the final tally for a vote on the George Floyd Police Reform Bill. There was only one Republican that voted in favor of it. The George Floyd Justice and Policing Act with bandcho cold and it would change of the police

policies as well. The only person that was a Republican who voted for it was a lands to Good and he's a conservative and he has expressed enthusiastic support for Donald Trump. But he did vote for it by accident. After the vote, he admitted that it was a mistake. He said, I accidentally pressed the wrong voting button and realized it too late. That's God. That's God, that's God controlling your stuff for you, sir, whenever you get on your knees and you pray for God, to God your steps.

That's what that was. Just now goodness. Well, the bill did still pass two twenty to one twelve, so his vote didn't really matter, but he didn't make sure that he went officially on record to reveal what his two thoughts were. Now, I gotta gotta pass through the Senate now right, M Yeah, that's just the house, all right. Well that is your front page news, all right. Get it off your chest eight five one oh five one.

The teachers on frontline teachers because we get involved with the kids. No, we are the bus drivers, the monitors, and the food nutritions that deals with the kids. First.

We've been on front line from day one when the corona happened, and we never get taught good saying bop to the bus robbers, pop to the monitors, the food nutritions for doing what they're doing. You're right. The teachers just started coming back to school, been on with the kids. They've been on virtual learning with the kids for us forever.

Teachers just started coming back to school, it being from day one, the bus drivers, the monitors has been going out to these bus stops, giving feet of these kids, face to face with these kids and the parents. Not why would the kids be at the bus stop, no dropping off school lunch, you know, because

they gonna drop off school unches. So that probably just dropped off at the bus stop and the kids could pick them up at the bus stop, so that way the kids can still eat kind of like you know what, the free lunch and everything. I never I never heard that. It's the first I'm hearing on me too. Yes, we've been doing that from day one and since since actually started.

We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. I want to get some things off my chest. Right first, I want to say that I

don't f with Charlemagne. Lennard McKelvey yesterday did something that made it seem like there was a security breach and had me nervous and upset. Let me, let me, let me tell you what I was told. Okay, I'm sitting in the studio minding my business. Whenever it's suspicious or screene activity downstairs. Security calls up. We get a call. The call says, there's a guy down here looking for DJ Envy. He's like, well, Envy's not here today. The guy said, I refuse to leave until I get a

kiss from dj Envy. Right So he tells me to the story and says that the guy has to be because this guy wanted to give me a kiss right now. I'm like, Wow, somebody's at the station and they won't leave because they're trying to get in touch with me or at some way much I kiss you now, mind you. We have security up here, so I called a security. Security goes Envy, what are you talking about? And I'm like Charlemagne said this, and Whack said this, And we

have two three security guards up here. I called each one of them, and any calls me back, Envy. They're playing with you. Nobody came up there looking for you. So I just think that I just want to tell you that's foul. I just want to tell you that that's not funny. I think they just didn't want to concern you, sir. That's all it was, you know, I mean, they handled this situation. The thread of the kids was taken down. Okay, shut up, man, the thread of the

kiss is gone. I hate you. Took one for the team. Good bye. Hello. Who's this Hey? This is Cayrone. How are you doing this morning? Oh boy? What's that right? Right? Getting off your chests?

Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent hit this

up now. We got rooms on the way. Yes, And Dwyane Wade's daughter Ziyawaite, had the opportunity to talk to Michelle Obama about her book Becoming And here's a little snippet coming up next of what their conversation sounded like. It was really beautiful. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. It's

about Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right. Well, Takashi six nine made a homophobic comment on Instagram regarding Little nas X. So Little nas X went ahead and aired out some dms on TikTok and according to um Little nas X, I guess Takashi was trying to slide in his dms, so dancing along to one of his

own songs. Little nas X addressed the comment by asking this you and then share the screenshot up his DNS A six nine with two separate messages YO in October of last year and then going to be in your city soon. What you're doing lol? And that was from last month. Well. Takashi then responded saying this forty s even start. We're gonna nip the small Graham right here six times to small count Look, stop playing with me. So so he's trying to prove that he didn't actually

reach out to him. I know, I believe what will be the problem if you reached out to him nothing. I won't say this the Lord nas X, don't give an f I like that, guys, and now he's great. But also if you're Takashi, you can't be homophobic when your rap name is sixty nine sixty nine. All right, now, let's move on to some positivity. Zayre Wade has met

Michelle Obama virtually. They did a Q and A session yesterday and Zaya Wade then shared that on Instagram, and so before they discussing becoming, they did talk about advice for teen readers. They did talk about how Ziah was nervous to meet Michelle Obama, and she said that's her idol. What advice do you have for teens who want to be themselves and thrive well like you have and currently are. I am just so proud of you being just an

amazing role model and embracing your truth. You're already doing this, so maybe this is for some other young people that are listening. It does take time to know what your self is, you know for young people. So my first piece of advice is be patient with yourself. Now. Michelle Obama also as Zaiah what advice she had for young people trying to find themselves, and Zia Wade said, well, y'all think that we thrive with people who are just like us. But I think getting a different perspective from

someone else who isn't like you really helps. That definitely helped me in becoming me and defining my truth. I think she's great. I love with Gabriel Union and the way Wade how they're raising her. I just love it, man, I really really love it all right. Eddie Murphy has explained how Arnold Schwarzenegger is the person who inspired him to do coming to America. He was talking to yeah, who Entertainment. And here's what he said. You know what

happened I was watching. I think it was one of those movies with Schwarzenegger, is that when they used that terminated movies and they used a special effect, but it made him really young. And I was like, hey, if you did that scene, we could do a scene where we're young and can that scene when we're in the club. We could connect it. Then this happened and he and then that was the piece that made it all kind of fall into place. Okay, I mean, I don't know, man.

I think it might have been Ryan Coogl and Aaron McGruder that inspired Coming to America too, because you know, yeah, but they didn't direct it all. They didn't direct it though. Yeah, but I read a treatment. I read a treatment that they wrote back in the day, and I know Eddie said he didn't like, uh, he didn't like Ryan's idea for coming to America. But the treatment I saw that they presented as a lot of similarities to the movie that's currently screaming on Amazon Prime Video. Now, ye have

you seen the movie yet? No, it's out today. I know a lot of people I've seen it already. I've been dy've been hit me in my d MS and leaving. I've been getting a lot of packages though from them is great dope. Yeah, we've been getting a lot of promo materials for coming to America. He sent us some soul Golo. I'm trying to figure out if that's real activated or not. It is, it's real activated. I read the box, I read the ball. That's from Browner Brothers.

I got some sexual chocolates. Yeah, we're talking on hall next hour, next how I'm talking on CEN your hall all right? Well, and they've been doing a lot of press lately because Eddie Murphy also did Kevin hart Sirius XM podcast comedy gold Mines with Kevin Hart, and he talked about how he had actually planned to start doing stand up again and then the pandemic. My plan was to do the Dolomite Saturday Night Live, Coming to America and then do stand up, and then the pandemic hit.

To shut the whole damn that I was going. I would the whole time last year. I would have been out working on my act, trying to get my Hey, when the pandemic is over and it's safe for everybody, to go out and do it. Then the plan is to do it? What what should Eddie Murphy do stand up? Yeah? Yeah, you know what? Oh my god, you know what. I'd like what you see Eddie Doude. I would like to

see Eddie dude Mike Tyson did. When Mike Tyson did his um his one man show and he came out there and he just told stories about his time in Hollywood. I think I think Eddie should do that because the bar for Eddie Murphy stand up is so high and it's almost like you can't, you can't, you can't get to that level again. You just didn't. You remember he was a couple of years ago he was negotiating a deal with Netflix and that was for an undisclosed number

of stand ups. Remember they were saying he was gonna get about seventy million. Yeah, well, Eddie, I'd come out in the throne and I'd be like, I'm gonna sit down because I don't want y'all here trying to you know, say say saying Eddie Murphy's doing stand up again. I would come out in the throne and I would just

do the one man's show like Mike Tyson did. It's funny that you said that because watching Coming to America, Sue, my bar is so high from the original one, because favorite movie that I don't think it can't compare, and I try to compare it and it just can't. It didn't be the same thing. Whatever you got raw, you got delirious, Like people would compare it to that. I would.

I would if I was I would just come out and do a one man show because whenever you hear him, just tell stories about his time in Hollywood and things that he's experienced there. Hilarious. I would just do that same way Mike Tyson did All Right Now. Nas recently did an interview with Financial Times, and he was saying that he doesn't feel like he's in competition with any of the younger rappers. He said, I appreciate what's out there,

but there's no one keeping me up at night. I hear a new rap record, I think it's great, but I don't listen to it the next week. And he did say that Pop Smoke did catches out. He said, we were happy to see that young king come up. He was a breath of fresh air. The drill movement in London, Chicago and New York is really exciting. He also says that he has some plans to turn his track from Elmattock New York State of Mind into a film.

That's dope. That's interesting on me because Nas is a god MC right like, like I mean, Nas is in you know, my top seven favorite rappers of all time. So I always to how people like that do see the game because their artists, you know what I mean, So their their pallet is different than ours. All right, well that is your rumor reports, all right, thank you, miss y. But you know this, all of the greats

they love, they love the new artists. You know, it's sometimes it be to B level and C level artists. I like, oh here you dopo up right now. But all the god mcs, whether it's Whole or Nas or wherever else you put in that category, they love the new m season and love to work with him, you know. Yeah, that's why I mean, that's why it's interesting to hear. And now I say, nobody keeps him up at night. Like he said, he appreciates it and he can enjoy it, but he's just not up at night. Yeah, I get it.

All right, Well, we got front page news next. What we're talking about, Well, let's talk about All Star Weekend. It's going down this weekend, and but you're in Atlanta, alretty, right, ye, all right, so let's discuss what's happening. All right, we'll do that when we come back. It's the Breakfast club going. That's new Drake little baby that if you just waking up, Drake dropped a three pack last night of songs. One

is uh, what's next? That joint in I think it's the I was gonna say, Lemon Pepper, wings freestyle, right wing freestyle with Ross. All right, well, let's get into Front page News where we start. Well, let's start with All Star Weekend. You out there and being now because of COVID, of course you know this is in Atlanta. But everything is going to be in a single night. The Skills Challenge three point Contest will be pregame. The

Dunk Contest will act as the halftime show. Team Lebron First round starters Gianna Sante to Kompos, Stephen, Steph Curry, Luca Dantek and I can't say this right, Nikola. They are doing the Slam Dunk Contest and all that. Yes, it's all in one night, though, one of the two nights. Kevin Team Kevin Durant, Kylie Irving, Joel and b Kawai, Lana, Bradley Bill, and Jason Tatum are the starters. That's silly. I mean, you're already down there in Atlanta. You're not

gonna have fans in the stands. You might as watch contest on Saturdays like you normally do, and then do the game on Sunday. You're already there. It's gonna be a long day for all those players and people. And who you got Team duran and Team Lebron. I don't care. I got Team Covid. Okay, Team Covid gonna win the weekend. Nobody gonna be there. I'm asking who you got? You got you got Kevin Durant's team, or you got Lebron? Who got? All? Right? When I said, you got Steph Curry?

I don't care. I'm gonna go with Team Durant. Yeah, I'm going with Team Lebron. Okay. None of them want to be there. Not further of all, none of them wanted to be there. They barely take the au Star game series as it is, and none of them really want to be there. This weekend. I don't think they're gonna be playing hard at all. It's you know, they still they still competitive, They still going to w All right, now,

let's talk about Charlotte Bennett. She's the second woman to go public with sexual harassment allegations against Governor Andrew Crommel in New York. And she did say she thought the governor was trying to sleep with her and she was uncomfortable. She told CBS Evening News anchor Nora O'Donnell what happened, and here's what she said about their conversations. He explains at that point that he is looking for a girlfriend, he's lonely, he's tired. He asked if I had trouble

enjoying being with someone because of my drama. The governor asked me if I was sensitive to intimacy in his office, Yes, during the work day, that already, right, he was. What he said was that she took the conversation the wrong way, that he wasn't trying to do anything, but he understands that it was uncomfortable for her now or something like that,

all right. Now. In addition to that, she talked about another part of the conversation where he was discussing ages and how he would date women if she was over twenty two. You have been quoted as saying that He also asked you about if you'd ever been with an older man. Yeah, he asked me if age difference mattered. He also explained that he was fine with anyone over twenty two and how old are you? Twenty five? What

were you thinking as he's asking you these questions. I thought he's trying to sleep with me, and I'm deeply uncomfortable and I have to get out of this room as soon as possible. Damn, It's all right, and I wouldn't tell you Colmo's response. Now. Initially, he had said last week that he never made advances towards miss Bennett, nor did I ever intend to act in any way that was inappropriate. But then on Wednesday he did a more direct apology. He said, I now understand that I

acted in a way that made people feel uncomfortable. It was unintentional, and I truly and deeply apologize for it. I felt awful about it, and frankly, I am embarrassed by it. And that's not easy to say, but that's the truth. Yeah, I mean, it's nuts at any man, but especially someone in his position, would still be, you know, talking like that and making those same kind of mistakes after me two times up movement, like you have to be super arrogant to feel like you are untouchable, you know,

to still be making those same kind of mistakes. I don't care how much Greece Governor Cuomo has in his head. He is not an untouchable mob boss. And me two times up should have caused a lot of self direction, right and if you don't, you did himself correct yourself, you head of yourself destruction. Or maybe he's been at it for so long he just can't stop. That's that's true,

But that's what I mean. You got And I think also and his head feels like because he didn't touch her or touch anybody, that he didn't do anything wrong. But the conversation can also be manipulative and uncomfortable and wrong as well, especially when you're a man with that kind of power. And right, well that is your front page news all right now, when we come back, Charlomagne got a chance to kick it with our Cineo. Oh man, Ursineo is one of my inspirations, man, you know, talk

Yes, you know it's funny because this interview has been under embargo for a while because you know, they was keeping a top secret for whatever reason, because of the movie, right and the stuff that we talked about. But yeah, I got the chance to sit down one of my inspirations,

man mis star Ciny Hall Talk show Goat. This man has inspired me on so many different levels in that I've been blessed to have several conversations with him throughout my life. But this one is public for the people. So alright, you look good, my brother, Thank you man, and God bless you. You look great. I love that you. You did something about Paul Mooney this morning on Instagram. Many God bless you, because me and Eddie were talking about him yesterday. I was like shocked. It was like

you were hearing us. I always think about y'all man, because from the outside looking in, it always seemed like unity and group operation has been a thing for y'all generation to comedians, well, at least with the Black Pack. Yeah, with theself and Eddie, Robert Towns and I win. Paul Mooney was part of that as well. Right, absolutely, there is an early picture where Paul Mooney is in that photo with me and Keenan and Eddie. I joked about this in Chappelle in Chris Rock's dressing room, and it

was on Instagram. It's interesting, you know, Prince, you know the famous situation at the Beverly Theater where James Brown is performing in Prince and Michael Jackson both showed up. Well, No, I thought that on the BT, the one where Prince grabbed a light pole and fell an audience. No, okay, I have to send you this, but because it's too long to story. But my point was that legends and

goats haven't always gotten along. And I love that Chris and Chappelle, as good as they are, they don't compete. They drive each other higher. And that's the way Richard and Eddie were. And one time he had this little cart right and he said, I hear Eddie Murphy house a movie out and I said yeah. He said, can't we go see it? And he was willing to leave the house. I put his little cart in the back of my rover and I rented a theater at Paramount.

Me and Richard sat and watched the Eddie movie. They it was a sequel to cop Okay, okay, it's one of those. And he loved Eddie. And I love when the goats are talented and confident enough to hang out and drive each other higher. And that's like I went on the road, did a couple of dates with Chappelle and Chris rocket I loved their relationship. You know, there was never jealousy. Nobody was ever hating on the other and falling off light poles at the Beverly Theater and

stuff like that. So the Richard wanted to meet Steve, because that's his illegitimate son. Because Steve and Richard got it. They look they didn't look alike. Why you wanted to see Steve, Well, you know, it probably was some kind of synchronicity and looking at a mustache and saying I like him. And by the way, he had met Steve one other time too. I think Steve told me they had met someplace. You know, it might have been some visual connection, but with Richard it was probably because Steve

was funny. And in those times when you're in your bed and that's all you do is sit with your friend and watch TV, laughter is healing. Laughter is the greatest thing ever, and it's why I'm happy this movie is coming on March fifth. I know it's not much in times like this, when we have food lines and people dying, but I'm sure glad that on March fifth, I can take people away for an hour and a

half and make them laugh. That's why I wanted to ask you about the Black Packers, You and Edie's relationship. The chemistry has always there. Why is that unity so important then? And how have y'all helped each other over the year. While it's interesting, you know, he's a rich guy. He don't need no help. But I think we've all had we know what the other does. Stand ups are very cliquish. There's this thing we think we're the most

the most talented people on the planet. We think stand up is the hardest thing in the world to do, and there's a tremendous respect. Don't get me wrong. There's some comics are standing in the back of the comedy store and they hate on you. But for the most part, we're very cliquish. And I think Eddie and I met, we understood each other, and it's kind of cool that we're still friends, because friendships, you know, don't last sometimes when there's money and competition and that kind of stuff

in the mix. How did you and Eddie even become the friend? Eddie and I met through Keenan Lands We were Keenan called me back in the days when you didn't have a cell phone. You call somebody at home if they don't answer. But you know, I got a call.

It was Keenan. He said, come to the improv about nine, and he said, Eddie's gonna work out because he's in town to do the tonight show, so he needed to work out his set and I got there and we were standing in front waiting for Eddie to arrive, and Keenan introduced me to Eddie and Eddie said, I wanted to meet you in person because my mother thinks we're looking like nig You don't look like me and looking Yeah. The second sentence Eddie said to me was you don't

look like me. And and Damon Waans was parking his car. This is this is a great story. Damon starts walking down the street and he's walking a little offeminine, very effeminine and like men on film. Yes, okay, okay, And so I hadn't met him, and so we should. He put his hand out and he shook my hand, and you know, if somebody is really acting like that, you don't laugh because that's who they are, you know. So

I didn't know. I had never met Keenan's brother. And finally he came out of the character and I realized, this guy is a funny mother and he can lock into a character, and that character, because Eddie's standing there, that character ended up a valet parking guy in Beverly Hills. Cop. Wow, you know, I'm wondering, like, were you hesitant in any way to do a sequel to a classic like Coming to America. Oh, yes, because there are gods that walk

the earth. You're afraid of criticism, you know, from Charallemagne to somebody on Twitter. I've been buying a coffee and the barista said to me, I heard y'all gonna redo that movie. Don't fit up. That's my movie. My family watched that movie once a year together. And you realize there are people who are afraid for you to go to work. They don't want you to do it, they don't want you to do with it, And you start thinking, I'm like, wow, if the barista is nervous, what's Challemagne

gonna say? What? You know? I mean, there are a lot of people who see it as this cult film that they grew up with and they loved, And there were people who really didn't want us to do the sequel. But I think we did it, and I think the people who are truly fans of it are gonna like what we did. Now, if people don't like the sequel to come into America, do you think it will affect the legacy of the first film. I think the second one will stand on its own as just a statement

like I loved the first one. You know, I don't think it'll hurt the legacy, but I also think they'll love it because you know, it's like a great Michael Eric Dyson book. You're like chapter one, and it's the same dude talking to chapter two, continuing his thoughts and

his flowery language. Is this is a these two things work together, Like I love the fact that your kids and my kid will be able to watch this and within this movie, even if they haven't seen the first one, it will be explained that there was more that happened that night when I said I'm gonna tell you a part and you're friend, dude, you know that entire night evolved and morphed into something else, and through the magic of film technology, Like there's this movie that I was

watching and I'm looking and I'm like, that young dude right then looked like DeNiro, and I realized it was DeNiro, And they have this process by what they can make you look younger these days. So me and Eddie were talking about it and he said, yes, he said they did that with Arnold And he said, you know, with that idea, we can go back and we can have a reprieve of what happened that night, and we can

go from there into a sequel. And I think it was Arnold's young makeup in that process that gave him part of the idea for this or to so long for us for the film to come out, because I've been hearing about this sequel for at least it seemed like fifteen years. Honestly. Yeah, And here's the crazy thing, Charlemagne. And it's why I love when you ask those kind of questions. None of that stuff was ever true. There was never a talk. We had actually decided we're fans

of the movie too. It was great, we did it well, we're gonna leave it where it is. And trust me, I'm not papered up like Eddie. If he said let's do Coming to America too, and it's about us going to Wakonda with R Kelly, I would sign up and I would do it. You know, it's like whatever my life. It's like the plane smells like this, you know, whatever the I would handle it. But we loved the first one and had decided to never do a sequel, and then he heard the idea, and that idea went through

a lot of incarnations. Like for instance, when he first told me the idea, I said, I kind of like that. And he went to the original writers and wanted them to craft just the format and get the technical stuff right and then go to Kenya and modernize it and make it funny. So he had a process. And I said, we're gonna have to cast a son for you, and he said, I got that. I got that. And I said, oh, he says Tracy Morgan and I said no, no, Tracy Morgan is funny every day he wakes up, but you

all look about the same age he can't. It's like we cany have comeing to America with Morgan Freeman as your son found in America. You know it's a that doesn't work. But we knew that whatever he did, he wanted Tracey Innits. So he made him the uncle and they did a casting call and Jermaine came in. Jermaine Foller came in and crushed it on his audition. From what Craig Brewer told me, the day he came in,

it was over because they loved Jermaine. So the bottom line is it took four more years after that day that he let me read the draft. It took four more years to get it right. All right, Now we got more with our Cineo Hall. When we come back, don't move. It's to breakfast Club. Come morning, everybody in stej Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne the guy we are the breakfast club. You know, Coming to America comes out today and Charlomagne got a chance to chop it up with

our Cineo Yeah, Coming to America's actually out. I got the chance to sit down and chop it up. One of my inspirations. Misto, our Cineo Hall. Visit y'all all comedians, you know what I'm saying, y'all, don't bite your tongue. But things have changed drastically from the first film. Did being politically correct and out having to be politically correct a certain moment impact the comedy and absolutely league Just

like when I do stand up, sometimes you're nervous. I was doing stand up one night before COVID and this dude was sitting he was sitting watching me like this Charlemagne and he had he was just recording it all and we got him to pull it down off the YouTube. But the problem is when I'm in a little club working out the jokes ain't finished yet. Um I learned what's wrong and what's right, and you adjust things. I hate people to tape it then, because you know you can,

you can get in some trouble. But political correctness it makes you think about it a lot. When I don't like to think, I just like to do it, like like coming to America. I remember when I saw the line where my barber addresses breast in Africa. I think his term was them long slopping it is. And you know, I'm like, oh man, I'm gonna come back and do this sequel and and I was like, well, I'm just

gonna blame it on Kenyon. That's it. That's it. You know you talked about a being like rich and there was a time when Eddie was one of the biggest stars in the world. I mean he's still he's an icon now, but I'm just talking about like just a red hot superstar. That was that ever a moment where you had to check him because he might have been getting big in front and on you. Wow, I'll tell you something about Eddie. Eddie will say something to me

and we'll be boys doing what guys do. But I've seen someone say something about me too, Eddie, and it's like, hey, you know, that's my brother. And so we we say a lot of crazies to each other, and we argue just like friends do. But when our backs are against the wall, you know, we ride or die when it comes to that friendship. I've always looked up for you in the talk show space man. You know that. You know I'm saying that a million times had the pleasure

of telling you that. And you know what I think of your work. I mean when people ask me about this, you know, like during the election, I'm like, it looks like they don't need me on the planet because Charlemagne is taking everything I dreamed of doing and tried to do to the next plateau. And um with with you

on the planet, I can stay home. You know. I reference you all the time, Man, you you even You're one of the reasons I even want to do a talk show when I when I hosted while I was a guest on Stephen Kobet show one time and he let me sit behind the desk and I made the audience. Do you know what I'm saying? Hey, yo, dog, I just had some shoulder surgery from all the years of doing that replaced serious. I'm like old quarterbacks like people. People do that to me now and I go to

the other homes. What what was your experience as a black mail talk show host in the nineties. It was hard because well, first of all, hard hard is what my uncle did at Jones and locked with Steel, or what my other uncle did at Chevrolet. But there were times, you know, I remember one time of reviewer referring to

me as a monkey. I mean, you could imagine back then it was different, and we've become a little more politically correct, but h but it was hard, you hun in the context he was talking about my movement on stage, you know, because I'm not I don't stand you know, I was a stand up and I move a lot. It's crazy, Chalomigne. It's the things like I could tell you. But you know what was the hardest. Sometimes I had a desire to leave the business different than I found it.

I wanted to bring black people into it. I remember asking the president of Paramount for an intern program because there weren't enough black and there had never been any in late night who write jokes every night. So I started an intern program. My first intern was John Singleton, and he wanted to direct, And the coolest thing in

the world was this guy on my set. Sometimes I would say, weis John Singleton in the hallway where talent is, and he would always wander away from the interns and go say hello to a guest like Cuba Gooding Junior. And it's weird that so much of the prep for that movie, in his mind and in his heart and meeting people in networking was done on the show. And at that time it was like, hey, man, you're supposed to be zero rox in the paper that they gave you. But now I look back and I'm glad he said,

fuck off, sir, I don't want to do that. You know. Well he did say no, he didn't know he didn't. But but I love that that that he didn't do what I said all the time, Like there were times the intern weren't allowed on the stage, and there were times I would walk into the booth and John Singleton was watching the director, And now I look back, and I'm so glad that he didn't do what I said, dude, you know. And so we had young writers and interns, and I was able to put a lot of hip

hop on. I was able to try to do anything that Oprah and Johnny weren't doing, and Oprah wasn't crazy about hip hop back then. So I got to have this lane in this world all to myself. But one of the hard parts was in starting that. I remember going to Paramount and saying, I want to book this group, and I knew that I was gonna have a hard time. I had to approve all the bookings early on, and I wanted to do NWA and one of the people in the meeting knew who it was. I had a

cassette tape that ice Cube hand delivered to me. He brought it to the set. Because ice Cube hated me for many years, I wasn't able to pull it off. It was early on. I wasn't able to get Paramount to He wanted to do the police and I was the president of I was the national ambassador of Dare and all kinds of stuff, which meant I went to schools with cops, and so Paramount wouldn't let me do it. I remember finally when they started letting me do stuff.

One hey, I wanted to do Bobby Brown. Bobby Brown played me two songs. He played me my prerogative and don't be cruel. And I said, I want to break both of them up, and he said, no, just one. I want both of them, Bob. It's not like the Tonight Show won't let you break it. So I went to Paramount and I said, I want to do two songs in one night. I'm gonna do it on a Friday night and I'm gonna do one in the early part of the show and one at the end of

the show. I'm gonna do Prerogative last. And they didn't want me to do it. And it was interesting. They didn't even like when I said Bobby Brown. They said, look, I'm sure she's very talented, but and I said, wa wa wa woa she And they said, Bobby Brown is She was a spokesmodel on Star Search, right, No, Bobby Brown is a man, and Bobby Brown was a new addition. And so I realized they were turning me down on

stuff they didn't understand. And you have to you have to realize that in those times when I'm saying Bobby Brown and when I'm saying pute tip, and when I'm saying um, you know, you know how people sit in the band at the Tonight Show or David Sanborn sits in with Paul Shaeffer. I want to have some hip hop guys with my posse, and I wanted to do stuff differently, and I had to fight for a lot of that. All right. We got more with us, Seneo Hall when we come back, No moves to Breakfast Club.

Good morning, j Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club now. Charlomagne kicked it with Arseneo Hall about how long? About a week ago? Two weeks ago? Yeah, longer than that, but it's dope. You know. I got to sit down with him and chop it up for an hour. He's one of my inspirations. I always say six degrees of Arsenio. There's nobody that you can meet in the industry from a certain era that Arsino doesn't have a story about. But we'll talk to him. Man.

It shows me how much value one black person in the right position can have because one thing that you always showed us, it was so much value in us. And that's one thing I love about the Ustino whole show. There was the time when there was a need to highlight hip hop and black stars. Do you think that

black talent is adequately adequately represented in highlighted? Now? Well, not to keep kissing your ass, but you know, when I listen to you or watch you, I hear about the stuff I don't know about, and I think that's important. You know, you go deep into hip hop, and you know you're an envy. You know, y'all know some folks. And I love going that deep. I love going deeper than Ryan and Kelly will go with hip hop, you know,

and you do that. Um. I love Trevor Noah's position in the business because he's brilliant and he deals with an area of show business that Soul Train didn't deal with. He deals with an area of society that we've never seen a brother deal with. I would love to see more people so we have more variety, because there's a huge space between Charlemagne and Trevor. Trevor, by the way, who's in coming to America. Yeah, I won't even I won't even tell what he does, but you can imagine,

you know. But but bottom line is there's something in the middle. And I know there's Jesus and Morrow guy, yeah, and and so, but but the bottom line is like the NBA. I don't mind having five people in late night, you know, and a white boy coming off the bench. We can flip it up a little bit, you know. You know, I'm so happy this movie is coming out coming to America two March fifth because really for you in a lot of ways, because I've told you this before.

What is our Cineo Hall waiting on to tell his story? Wow? See now now you've been friends with Wendy makes this real relevant. We all the world just saw her documentary. There's no Calvins and then Calvin Calvin. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's nobody like that in my life. Yeah, so you have a feeling, you know, none of my women have ever had down the street in a house that I bought. You know. But that stuff makes good television, that makes good storytelling. I'll be honest with you, man, I think

a documentary on me might be boring. I mean, stop, there's but there's no there's no drug problem, you know unless hey, by the way, weed has gotten me through to twenty in part of twenty twenty one. You know, I'm yeah, I'm a smoker. I'm I'm a big weed smoker. But I think, but you need a cocaine problem, or you know, you need to have a scene where where

you put heroin in your ass at some point. For a good documentary, documentary would be a guy who came from Cleveland and did very well and then wrote a letter to Paramount and said, I want to move on. I think I want a family and I want to do more acting. You know that's not a good documentary. You had so many legendary people in moments on our City or Hall show, and you kind of answered this already. Do you even factor those moments into your own personal

measurement of value? I guess I do. But as many things that I did right, You know, there are a lot of people who hate me because they feel only Barbara Walters should interview fair Con and I shouldn't have done it. So I got things from that era and moments in that era that people hate me for it too. And you gotta take the good with the bad. But

that's who I was. I was mister Curious, and I remember meeting him and he told me about the million Man March, and he also said to me that I had never heard this, and I thought it was important to the black community. He looked at me, and he said, because I asked him about Malcolm. And I said, I think the question that black people want to know is your relationship with Malcolm in the end, and he said, I think I may have contributed to an atmosphere that

killed Malcolm. And when he said that, I'm like, I gotta do this interview and I already resigned from the show. I'd sent a letter to carry McCluggage and they let me do it. But a lot of people didn't like it. And I get that. I'm sure there are people who didn't like my interview with other people too, but but so you resigned from last in l Allstel like the rumor has always been. Senio Hall got canceled because he

interviewed the honorable Minutes the Lewis Firecum. Yeah, I had sent a letter of resignation to the guy who was running Paramount prior to that. Paramount didn't have to let me do that, but they thought it was good TV to ask him these questions. And by the way, I brought in a man back then named IRV Rubin, who was head of the JDL, because I wanted to ask those questions too, not just the things that black people were concerned about it, so you know I tried to

do it in that way. But yes, I had sent a letter in and resigned, and because they had to figure out what they were going to do with the show, they let me continue to do more shows while they figured it out, because I remember the conversation they came to me. They said, what would you do? We have Bill Bellamy under contract. Do you think he'd be good? And that was their conversation. They also brought up John Stewart, who they eventually gave the show to. John Stewart had

a couple of bites at the Apple. He did a show back then after me because they went with him instead of Bellamy, and then of course got You know, there's no timing greater in show business than God's timing. It ain't about when you want it, It's about when He want to give it to you. Because John Stewart

changed the game, but not that night. Later on they put him in the right place in front of where you know, Trevor's life is now and he was groundbreaking and change the business, but back then it wasn't his time. But he replaced me. Why are resign though I wanted, like when you're doing a talk show, it might be similar to what you're doing every night. I'm watching somebody's movie. I'm reading someone's book. There was no link. Back then, you had to go to a theater or someplace and

watch somebody's movie. You know. There was no laptop. There was no like sometimes I can hit my laptop the words speak and it'll read somebody's book to me and I just sit and listen. But back then you actually had to sit with Judith Light's autobiography and read it before the interview the next day. And there was a point where I wanted to act more. I did Harlem Knights in the nighttime. I would do my show all day and then shoot Harlem Knights at night and Charlomagne

I love to act, man, I love to act. I wanted more time to pursue that people like people would put me in movies as the talk show hosts, or they would use clips. And they still do that, like like recently there's a there's a mister mister Rogers movie and they erased mister Rogers when I interviewed them back in the day, and they put Tom Hanks in. They can do stuff like that now, so my old interview is in the movie, so I guess you could call

it typecasting. I wanted to act more and something else that's really important for a man when it hits you. I felt that every day doing this, I wanted a kid man. I wanted to be a dad. I remember, I remember the moment too. Magic had started coach and he was coaching the Lakers, and Cookie Johnson let me babysit EJ and take him to a game between the Lakers and the Clippers. And EJ is watching the game with me, and during halftime, I took EJ in the back just to let him just give dad a hug.

And when I leaned over so he could kiss Irvin. You know how a water balloon, you can't hold it and go down on this side and go down on that side of you know how a water balloon does. That's how EJ start doing to get to his daddy and to kiss his daddy and hold his daddy. And he didn't want to let him coach the second half, and there was a moment that I don't know how to describe whether in the way I'm doing it, I was that there's no love like the love of a

father and his son, a father and his daughter. That moment, I was like, I didn't want kids as a matter of fact. To be I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm not gonna even say I didn't want kids. You know how, when you don't make mistakes and you get around and you haven't gotten somebody pregnant, you're worried. And I went to a doctor. You know, I was like, I ain't never got nobody to pregnant. And I mean I used condoms and everything, but you suppose it slips

sometimes and I never had one of those situations. And I went to a doctor and he said, I remember the term. He said, I had slow swimmers. And I didn't even ask him for more information because I was just too embarrassing. I couldn't. I said, okay, whatever, because I think that mean you're broke, you got slow swimmers, And uh, it's all about God dog, not you, but

the other one. And and the bottom line is eventually my girl got pregnant and my son was born, and I spent the next twenty one years, you know, I was that dad at every game, at every play, and I tried to slide in and do work here and there,

but you can't do Hollywood part time. Hey, Austino, I just want to tell you man, you loved, you, valued, you appreciated, and I'm just happy that you exist on this planet man, and don't want everybody to go out in and check out Coming to America continued success, brus Say hello to the duo that sits in the studio with you every morning. I love you all and God bless you. Ej Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We

are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey, make sure you go check out my conversation with our send your hall on the Breakfast Clubs YouTube page. It should be should be up now, that's right, that's all YouTube Breadfast Club. Am No, that's not it. Breakfast Club. I'm not in the studio. Is hanging up in the studio. I don't know what is it? Dramas? What is our YouTube? Yes, breakfast No, it is it? Yes, Breakfast Club power one five one exactly. Just search breakfast ye y'all, wipe that

cream out your bid and go to breath room report intro. Wow, Okay, she's filling the team. This is the rum of rapport with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, Obio Sound or Radio is back now. Drake made that announcement on Twitter. Yes, he posted yesterday going live tonight at ten thirty pm Eastern with the return of Obio Sound Radio on the launch of our twenty four hours station Sound forty two, a new experience on Serious XM. He also shared three

new songs on the Scary Hours to EP now. Here's what Drake had to say about Certified Lover Boy and Scary Hours Too. I'm back in tip top form, so you know that's a blessing, and CLB is currently being cheft in every way possible, and I'm just I'm just really excited about the music that we're making. I don't have an exact date, but just no, it's it's it's in a pot and it's coming soon. I wonder if it's easier or harder for Drake to make music now.

You would think, you know, it'd be easier because he's playing with house money, because he's Drake. But sometime times you set the ball so high that when you fall short of what we're used to, you know, people critique harder. That's what I've been doing. So it's also it's good to see him return to form. It's also inspirational. You know a lot of times you get inspiration from different things. You trying to grow, you trying to get to that

next level. But when you're on that level, yeah, yeah, yeah, what do you rap about? I mean, it's good to see him return the form on the three pack you dropped, like when he raps, he's one of the best. And he's snapping on that Lemon Pepper freestyle and he said, these days famous disconnected from excellence. After time, I gotta ask these is what their profession is, Jesus Christ usher the generation and these it where my confessions live bars. Yeah,

he's spitting all right. Well, the songs he put out are What's Next once and Needs and Lemon Pepper freestyle. All right now music that you're hearing a hotel lobby in La though. Huh, Well, I always gotta have something to say about you. Just let him, let him live and then you and then you gotta go left. And when I when I when I gave him propers you'll

ain't saying nothing. But as soon as I say something that y'all might perceive is negative, you look at y'all necessary all right now, too Short has explained why his song with Drake never came out. He was talking with E forty for Hip Hop DX and here's what he had to say. I was just about to do a song with Drake. I feel like it might have happened. And then he got the thirteen Billboard Awards and nobody answered the phone anymore. I was like that, just you know,

I don't call it too many times. I just fell back like damns the window. Drake old though, Drake. A lot of Drake sound came from the Bay Area. Man, so Drake, old man man, he got busy right all right now. Space Jam a new legacy, according to the director Malcolm Deeley. He says this new one will be even better than the nineteen ninety six original. He said, it's a better movie than Space Jam. He told Entertainment Weekly lebron has that has got that going for him.

He said, if you say theatrical movie Space Jam is it? You know he just whacked that movie out right, you know, he literally just made the movie whack. We gotta stop doing that. When you compare something to the original, people go win. Thinking, Okay, I'm waiting for this to be better than the first Space Jam and when it's not the nail say things like, oh, the movie is why you know what I call that? I call that minth

Bleak in somebody sleuthor Bleak. I love Bleak. But when jay Z said mith Bleak is the new improved with me, he said bleak up for failure because Bleak is good, but he not whole. I mean, nobody's whole. But what part twos are better? Though? There has to be a part two that was better than the part one? Boy Bad Boys Bad was Bad Boys. I mean, yeah, are equally as good? Yeah, I would say equally as good. Equally. I think Nightmare and three Part three was really good.

I liked it better than the first. I see, I don't do hard movie. I don't pay people. Which sequel was better than the first? I gotta think about though. All right, well that is your rumor report what you keep thinking anymore? We gotta go, guys, rumor report Charlotte. We're giving that dog two. Oh man, we need uh Tampa Bay Police Department to come to the front of the congregation. Tampa Police Department in Tampa, y'all need to come to the front of the congregation. We would like

Get y'all elected, because it's Florida. Little duvall donkey today for Friday in March fifth goes to the Tampa Police Department. Now, what does your uncle Sharla always say about the great state of Florida. The craziest people in America come from

the Bronx and all of Florida. I love the state of Florida, but we would be playing ourselves if we didn't recognize that the state of Florida is operating on a different frequency than the rest of the world. Not too many things in Florida makes sense, well, at least not to the rest of us on the outside looking in. And this is one of those times. See the Tampa Police Department fired Delvin White key word White for violations of policy that prohibit discriminatory conduct. So Delvin White key

word White clearly did something to discriminate against someone. Well, what did Delvin White keyword White do. Let's go to WTSPCBS team for the report. Police Tampa's police union is fighting to reinstate a police officer fired for using the N word on the job. The union says the punishment was too harsh. Police say the language violates community trust and was enough to fire eight year vet Devlin White,

who worked as a school resource officer at Middleton. Devin White keyword White was fired for being caught on body camera saying on a phone call to a young woman the N word, and they're fighting to get his job back. I know what you're saying, Well, Uncle Charlotte, that absolutely deserves donkey the day. He deserves the biggest. He had no no police officer named Devin White key word white should be uh, you know, using that N word, okay,

and they shouldn't be fighting to get his job back. Yes, well, let's play a game of Jess what Rice today? All right? Now, Angelie ye, this should be very obvious to all of us, now, angeli ye. Devin last named White, key word white, okay, was fired by the Tampa Police Department because he was caught on body camera saying that his job is to ensure. Well, I'm not gonna say what he said. His job was the insure, but he used the N word. Jess what

Rice todays? I'm gonna say Caucasian? But what gave it away? His last name? Now? Devin White, key word white, Tampa, Florida was fired by the Tampa Police Department. He was caught on body camera saying the N word nv Yes what Rice it as? This is a tough word, but I gotta go with white. Okay. Well, let's go back to wts SPCBs ten for the report, please and find out the police union is fighting to reinstate a black police officer fired for using the N word on the job.

Hold on, play it again, WTSP CBS ten. I think v and Angelie, you were wrong playing again. Tampa's police union is fighting to reinstate a black police officer fired for using the N word on the job. Y'all were wrong. That was too easy. Delvin White is black and he was fired for using the N word. Now can we hear how he used the N word in context? Please? You think you're going to jail now? Nigga? Now let's say. Now, let's discuss. I play it one more time, Play it

one more time. You're going to jail? Downing Listen. The Tampa Police Benevolent Association said yesterday that they are standing with Devin White in fighting the department's firing. Let me read the statement from Tampa Police Benevolent Association spokesman Danny Alvarez. He said, we stand with the City of Tampa and the Tampa Police Department in their efforts to stamp out racism in every form and condemn any and all derogatory

statements in our out of uniform. But the facts in the Delvin White matter do not reflect and act are any intent that larrants the punishment he received for his alleged transgression. Charlottagne and to god Leonardo mckelvy, Uncle Sharla absolutely agrees. Let me tell you something. We live in a country while a black person is three times more likely to be killed by police during the police accounted

than a white person. We live in a country where black people are more likely to be arrested and more likely to receive a longer prison sent this than a white person convicted of the same crime. We are more likely to be profiled than white people. Police historically do whatever the hell they want with us in this country, and now all of a sudden, you want to fire a black man for using the N word in context.

Let me tell you something. There's a thing called cultural competency, and when you're from a certain environment, you speak the language of that environment. Of course, a black police officer in Tampa is going to use the N word. Devin White keyword White was raised in the East Tampa community, had nasty environment that he chose to protect every day. Don't nobody know how to talk the language of the community better than a person who's from that. By the way,

that's what we need. That's what we want. We need policing that is for us and by us. Do you know, Devin White also told investigators, yeah, I use the N word. And he used the N word while making an arrest in November, and he used the N word twice while arresting an uncooperative mail for trust passing. Let me hear that little clip again of him on the body, can

my head you're gonna tell my nigga. Yes, he probably put handcuffs on a brother when he was being uncooperative because he knows him, probably even the property he was trust passing on and was given the dude the stern

talking to and telling him you're going to jail now, nigga. Okay, I can guarantee you, with no facts our evidence to back this up, that a white person in the Tampa Police Department called the black person the N word before are displayed some other form of racism, because the whole law enforcement system is one of the most racist systems you know, period. The two most racist systems in America

are probably law enforcement in the medical system. I guarantee you some police officer use those words or was racist in worse ways and nothing happened to them. Okay, Tampa Bay Police Department. I don't know who you're trying to fool, but You didn't fire Devin White because he used the word nigga. You're fired Devin White because in your eyes, he is a nigga. Okay, Tampa Bay Police Department, give this man, Devin White, his job back. Okay, all right,

give the man his job back. All Right, y'all know, good and damn well, that man was not using the N word in whatever context y'all thought he was using it in. Okay, Devin White was using it, you know, the way you use it when you have folks from the community, police in the community. All Right, You're just gonna have to understand there as a language barrier that y'all gonna have to overcome. And it's simple. We use the N word, y'all don't and we shouldn't use the

N word either. But that's a conversation we need to have in private at the next secret Black people meeting. In the meantime, please let him give the Tampa Police Department the biggest he haw he haw, he ha. You stupid motherfuck? Are you dumb? I just want you to know that you're over your nigga quota for the day. That's what you want you to know that you just said it so you made me go over. I made you go over, you made me go up. I was fine, allow,

I'm allowed ten per every five minutes. White man, just contract. That was not well. Guess what I need a white man to tell me that I can't use still word and you gotta say it. He can't. So you can't say that word? What word? Say what word? And I'll say, I don't know exactly because if you say any word, I'm gonna say Nancy noodles, nutmeg, Okay, naughty by nature? All right, man, shout to that cop man too. Man, he's doing this thing. That's what that's what we want.

We want somebody from our community to police us, that's going to talk to us and be from our community. Right if he'd have been like, excuse me, sir, you know you're going to jail. No, No, you wanted somebody that that we know that's from our community. That's what we've been saying, right, that's what we've been screaming for, we've been crying for. Right, give Devin White his job back. Absolutely all right now when we come back, Anderson Pack

and Bruno Mars will be joining us. Never heard of no, not at all. They started a group. What's it called Silk City Sonic Silk, what's it called Silk Sonic? Guy Man, We're gonna get you with him when we come back. It's a breakfast club for morning, The breakfast club wanting everybody is DJ Envy and Lauye Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building this morning. We have Bruno Mars and Anderson Hat.

What up, guys? What's going on? Yes, how y'a feeing favor? How y'all feeling great? Man? Bless blast? You guys are doing an album together? Now? How did this come about with y'all together? I mean, I think y'all were together. Since y'all together? Now, did y'all record it together? Or was this a pandemic studio session? Let's be careful about how we say it together. Where did some honest musicians that still play instruments, still listen to Marvin Gay, Stevie

Wanner and stuff? And there's only a few people like that. So when you find it, you just you just gotta link up. What does the name Silk Sonic mean? Where did that come from? Bot named us? Oh? Tell her? You gotta tell us that story. That's that's come on, now, that's incredible. He heard the song. He heard the song, and so we need a name, you know, Bootsy Collins name baby Face. I didn't know that whole baby Face on mind if you don't mind, if I tell her Bude.

Baby Face was in the studio and Bootsy Collins walks in and he's in the studio with a bunch of his friends. He looks at he looks at the time, he's Kenny Edmonds. Boots He looks at him and says, what's up a baby face? And the whole studio starts laughing. The next day they have a show and the guy introduces him as Kenny Edmonds and he got the golf clap and as a joke, the very next night he goes ladies and gentlemen baby Face and the girls start

freaking out. And I hope I didn't box that story. Face, But that's that's the story. The way do you walk in the studio and say, hey, Silk Sonic, No, no, no, we played him the song. We sent them the record. And when that's hosted by Bootsy Collins, what other involvement does he have in the album. He's gonna be narrating this whole album. Try to put a show together, and

we call it the set list of Doom. Okay, well, let me ask all the pluck to him when he said, y'all a silk toning, y'all didn't ask what that means. Y'all just you can't really question the ogez, you know, like you only get a few, you know, moments with them. So he kind of just have to run with that. And uh, I liked it. I think it fit with the music, and you know, it sounded cool when he said it, so it was like, that's what it seems like, a five heartbeats type of vibe or something like that.

I got nothing but for you, hey either. Hey, we was arguing this morning, which one of y'all is a better pure thing? Come on, we ain't gotta argue, damn, you know what I'm saying. Argue you say you It's like, you know, I'm a drummer first, so I know how to support no, you know, dye higher than Bruno kind of nobody sing clearly, you guys are gonna hear and you guys are gonna hear Anderson singing his ass off

on this album. So you think Anderson is a better pure thinger than you, bruntal, I didn't say that, Charlotte Mane Charomagne, you and I would never say that. Yeah, we can edit that part autum, right, they gotta you guys watch versus? Y'all fans of verses? Yeah, yeah yeah, would y'all ever do a verse? Well, it was either gonna be a versus or make an album, So and Anderson chose the right. Now. I love the verses that I don't know. Would you doing versus? Yeah? Who would

your battle? You? And face that up next? And that's really a great way to fill That's gonna be great. I'm happy. I think what Swizz and Timberland did with that is an awesome a text Swizz congratulating because I think that that did a lot for the pandemic. Absolutely besides Anderson, pack who would you? Who would you battle? Bruto? If there's anybody out there, I'll go toe to toe with anybody. I like that. Told to Chalk, I like that. I don't want to. I don't know, but I don't.

I don't want no problems. I don't want to collum Now. I think Bruno as you also got yourself an alter ego, right, you're designing class Ye. I don't wants calling it an altar ego. It's kind of it's weird. But fashion designer slash mystery man. Yeah, no, um riquet, what do you call it? La Cost approached me. I've been fortunate to have been asked to do collaborations before with other companies,

but it always came with like guidelines. La Cost was the only company that was, like Bruno, you could do whatever you want. So, you know, Bruno Mars like, that's like tour merch and that's who that's that's me on stage. I gotta be a designer. And that's where Ricky Rigo came up. Because I don't want to wear the clothes. I don't want to wear clothes. That says Bruno Mars on it now now, Bruno, the other barbershop debate we was having was if you did do it versus and

you battled the weekend. Oh, I said to Charlomagne. You heard me the first time I said Bruno over the weekend. I said that, Oh, come on, what do you think say? I mean, I think that's no branding. I'm not to say, come on, don't do that, Charlemagne, don't do that. Don't do that. You know, we know what you're doing. We know what you're doing. I don't, can't anybody to the toe. But then I backed out immediately. That was me. I

got the shop, but then I backed out immediately. Now, Bruno, question why you came that woman out of one hundred thousand dollars? Damn? Why are you doing that? Bruno? You got that board during the pandemic making the album with Andrewhon wasn't another I was some money man. I had to skip down to pass it. I put a lot on the on the spurs that night. It didn't really come through for me. He was over extended. You know. Listen, do you know her name? Yeah? I don't think they

put her name out there. But all right, well, whoever you are, I'm so sorry. And stay off the internet. That's all you come on, Bruno, Stay off the internet. It's treacherous, it's treacherous. Out of the game. But Bruno, what do you think when you heard that story? Though? I mean, look, I have family members that thought I was actually talking to them on Facebook, and you know, like this is my uncle's and my aunts. He's like they really thought it was me talking to them, So

I don't blame her. I just I just say to everyone out there and be careful because that's a different world. It ain't the real world out there. Don't send money nobody, but there's nobody's sending money and it's in pac or Bruno. Mars is so sonic. Now have you ever had a situation, either one of you, where you thought you were talking to somebody online and you got catfish, like maybe a collaboration you were trying to pig and it was not the person you thought it was. Well, it happens all

the time. I called the same person like with the same you know, first name, and as you realize thirty minutes in the Saint, this ain't the earl that I wanted. I got a chance rich all right, I'll let you later. Yeah, yeah, stuff like that. But I always know who I'm talking to. Now, you know, y'all think the tweet outs that y'all was, you know, doing an album, doing a song. Everybody's talking

about it. There's marketing and promotion from record labels. Even matter when you get to a certain point in your career, does it still matter? Yeah, because we hope that the Breakfast Club is gonna champion for the song. That's why we want to sit down and talk to y'all. Make sure that you guys champion for these out of work musicians. Brand that y'all gonna play his record. But this didn't is like an easy way to do it. I mean, you stay here for a day, you do twenty interviews.

You ain't. You ain't gonna go to Oh no, it's different though, a lot much rather be there with y'all and you know, doing it like that. The zoom thing. This is just like the third time I've ever done. It's a zoom kind of skype. Yeah, this is like my third zoom in history. Not too good with technology? A tech guy, Yes guy, How do y'all keep in touch with your lady friends during quarantine? Lady France is married. I got a wife, you gotta really, I didn't know

you're trying. That's what he does. That's this whole thing, the pictures of his wife and kids when he was You understand me, well, now it makes sense, Bruno, why you seem so level headed and so like just humble, you know what I mean? Because you got that stability. Appreciate that all we got more with Silk Sonic when we come back as Anderson Pack and Bruno Mars. Now what his name is, John Charleman. I thought it was called I think it's called Keep the Jar Open. Oh,

so why they talk? I guess they told us it was Bruce Leroy because they were trying to They didn't want the name of the song to go out. Maybe all right, well let's get into it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning. That was leave the Door Open, Bruno Mars, Anderson pact. They are Heim good Morning, we are the Breakfast Club. Now let's get back to the off you sell them me and what's something? Uh? You know Bruno was stronger than you at and vites A versus Bruno.

What's something? Can I take this one? Let me just take this one when I'm stronger than him at boy know how to bed man? I'm telling you man, he got like, you know, you know what's gonna hit? What's going on? He got like a sixth sense. You know. I'm more like, oh, let me see, I don't know it could go this way? Feeling it out there. He got like a spidy sense like nah, we gotta hit this. No, we gotta do this progression. You know what I'm saying. This is gonna get us to this money in that.

There's some magic in that. This that's his favorite thing. You know. This is the math on that. What about you, Bruno? What's something Anderson stronger than you? At the exact opposite of what he said. I grew up with some old school producers that was really hard in the studio to work with because they understand how to get to a certain place that they want to go. And I grew up watching that and seeing that, and I've seen some horrible things, but I've seen them that turn into magic.

Anderson is give me the drumsticks, you know, turn on the mic. So he's got this freedom. That's how he finds his groove. And I'm a little and I'm a little more like, all right, well maybe if I play this chord and then I do this, and then I do that. Yeah, I also like to like bounce around like we're gonna do the song. You know, we work on it for four or five hours, and then let's let's jump to something else, you know, or let's let's

let's touch on this. This dude is obsessed. He's gonna be working on the same damn song for two years just because there's magic in the hook. He knows that, and it's like an obsession, bro, And like we can work on something all day and we come back, you know, I'll be like, man, it's a sicky like, nah, it ain't good. We went we made a left turn here, we need to go right right here, And yeah, we work all day on it. Again. It's crazy work. I thick and I told her Andy, it's like it's nothing

to brag about. I wish I could just go and just have you know, some ansors, but it just takes up. It takes, like I said, it takes a lot for me to feel like, all right, it's done. In this first single. That took a lot. Yeah, and we couldn't be prouder. I want to ask Bruno. You know, Bruno, you know people love to accuse you of being a cultural thief, which I find interesting because you are a person of color. What would you say to those people?

I would say, you can't look at an interview. You can't find an interview where I am not talking about the entertainers that have come before me. And the only reason why I'm here is because of James Brown is because of Prince Michael. That's the only reason why I'm here. I'm growing up as a kid watching Bobby Brown saying, Okay, if that's what it takes to make it, then I gotta learn how to do the running, man. I gotta learn how to do the moonwalk. I said, And this

music comes from love. If you can't hear that, then I don't know what to tell you. Yeah. When I saw you shout out Teddy Riley and the New Jack's Swing movement at the Grammys, I was like, all right, that's homage, you know what I mean? When you won that the award, I was like, Okay, here, it's the truth. There's no it's like, it's not a it's not a secret. Like I said, we were in the inspiration on a sleeve.

What is the point if we If us as musicians can't learn from the guys that have come before us, why did they do it? And I hope later on down the road there's gonna be a band that's taking what we did and flipping that and freaking that and putting their own spin on it. Because if they don't, then what was the point of us doing this? If we playing basketball. If you can't learn from Michael Jordan,

what was the point of him doing that? Why can't you take oh, why can't you learn all these tricks that this man did the greatest of all time and learn how he did uh this three point or this uh fade away, which Kobe did exactly exactly and as he should, because that's the blueprint. This man showed you how to do it. Does that criticism pish you off? Now?

It comes with the gig and I and this this real merit to what people are saying about black entertainer's not getting their flowers, you know, and and I'm I'm I'm I'm champion with that. I'm with that. But it's more so I guess at the time when it kind of popped off on the Internet, I was looking in the manor like, what am I not seeing? Where is this? Where is this pass that I that I do? I have to see ass that I don't know about it? And where can I get this pass? Because like I

use something for me and my friends. You know, at the time, it was that was it, But I understand and it's just it's just it's Twitter. Yeah, have you adjusted to being a superstar man. Nah, it's not because I don't. I just do music, that's all since I was a baby, and I don't look at myself as a superstar. So all I want to do is doing music. And to me, success is doing what you love. And I love doing music and I love being able to provide for my family doing what I love. Where's the

last time you've been to a strip club? Show him? You know, he came to Jersey Girls with me one day. That was a long time, definitely right. I was surprised he woke in there. I don't even think I was. I don't think I was of age. I think I showed him a Blockbuster car and guy was a yeah, you're good. Come on. You know it has been a pandemic and I know you guys have been ripping and running for years now, and I really had a chance

to sit down. Was there an upside to actually having some time to maybe not have to be on tour and doing all of that? Did you learn anything new about yourselves? Slowing down with special because you get to hold onto this energy and we're in the world that's going so fast, so fast that this, uh, sometimes you gotta take a break and I think Quarantine forced everybody to unplug a little bit and reevaluate what's important in life. And I think it's why we're rolling out this album

the way we're rolling it out. We don't want one week of trending on Twitter and you know we've we worked too hard for that. We want to drop these songs one at a time and read the room. Yeah. I like this energy, man. I like the energy between y'all. I really do. It's like a cool buddy cop like, yeah, it's something there. Man. Why do y'all name the first single Bruce Lee Roy? We see we still sign me, but we couldn't name the fan Bruce Lee and whooping

your ass? Whooping your ass. I now shout to Bruno Mars and Anderson Pack for joining us today. Make sure you stream and pick up the joint that new single, leave the Door Open. Now, we got rumors on the way, yes, and let's talk about new music. There's a lot happening this Friday, all right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club, Go Mornings, the Breakfast Club Husband, you

know coming up next on the Breakfast Club. Now, before we even get into that, I just want to point out that now Facebook streams of music videos will officially count toward the Billboard charts. Well, that's something new, and it's a big deal. Artists deserve recognition and music charts for the social capital they drive and the social discovery

they fuel. That's with the VP of Business Development and Partnerships at Facebook had to say so, adding music video plays on Facebook to the Billboard charts is an important step in the right direction. I concurd you too already does there? Right? Ye? All right, Now, let's discuss some new music. We already talked about Drake a whole lot in his three pack that came out. But let's play the one time we haven't been playing on the radio, and that is a Lemon Pepper freestyle featuring Rick Ross.

Dropped them off in school, big day for my little man recess. His daddy probably made another hymn school bell Rings and I'm out there and get him again. Yeah, teach a pair of media's wilds g Willia, regardless of what their husbands do to provide asking if I know Beyonce and Nicki Minaj, of course, pull up to the front and a fleet of suburbans flooded French emergiment with the Secret Service. This so obviously to treat the purpose. I'm telling you, when Drake raps, he's one of the best.

You know what I mean, that's what I want. I want to I want an album you know, full of Drake rapping. I mean, he can do that now, Like you know, he's already Drake, he's home already, like me, let me hit him bars. People don't matter what you want, it matter what he wants to do. Well, I'm just telling what I want. I mean, I like. I like that versatility though, because you know, as a consumer as well. I like when he sings too. I like those songs also, it's a mood, so I like a variety of it.

I like how like Lauren. We were just talking about Lauren hill Um. I had this conversation with Danielle Smith about how she was singing Anna rapping, how dope that was, And I feel like he does the same thing. I could write a whole thesis on that one line. These days, fame is disconnected from excellence half the time, I gotta ask the thinking what their profession is like. That is very true, favoring excellent excellence and not synonymous with each

other at all. Now, as we just pointed out to Sonic put out their first song leave the Door Open. That's Bruno Mars and Anderson Pack Tyler the creator tell me how it's Coca Cola commercial. Also Clever Her featuring Juice World and Post Malone. Life's a Mess. Sweetie put out the Best Friend's Remix with Doja Cat and stephlon Don. I like that song. She's also giving away a Tesla by the way, so there's a whole thing going on.

I think you have like a month, a little month and a half left if you want to win a free Tesla from Sweetie Young Dolphin key Glock ask Benji Herbo, I really like that and break yourself, Baby Kim, this is dope, no sense you do you celebrate? What's your

friendsty what's your friend style? What's your man? Stop? They don't let me catch your mama hands Doyle, it's a thousand always a miss, understand up, it's a thousand always that we can make a man stop and drop on a clues boss with Baby Kane, Baby Kame, so dope. We don't put me on Baby Kam Actually little Dickey, Little Dickey, puby old baby Kam some years ago. He was just like, are you should listening to Baby Keene

Baby Kames. I was like, Kendrick if he was doing trap music, Baby ki Yea and they're related to, right, isn't that his cousin or something? And I think I think he's signed to Kendrick now, Kendrick and Dave Free. I think on quote Baby keeping it low, you know, and Pop Smoke Fashion featuring Polo g from the Boogie soundtrack and Pop Smokes No Cap featuring M twenty four of the remix from the Boogie soundtrack. Also a new album, Some Little Dirk from OTF and K Camp's Crew, which

is rare sound squad. They did like a deluxe album, a deluxe edition of their album Tory Lane's Playboy, a whole lot of new music. I can't even get to all of it, but I just wanted to give you guys just some previews of what's happening. I want to salute the Tink too man. Tink put out a record called Bottom oh Man that sounds so dope. Yes, Tink bottom Bitch. I love tanks music. Yeah. I love like how she's early early early. Her music sounds way different

now though not really. She's just gotten better. Like Tink, been one of my favorite artists since Timberland introduced me to it, and she never stops working and she's just only gotten better. Her sound is just evolved. But it's just a matter of time for Tink to pop off. I saw JT from the City Girls shot in the Rocks and she can't wait to collaborate with her on the next project. And Cardi was big in her up last week, so it's only a matter. Yeah, I think

this is Tin Sierra. I believe, I hope. So she's still so sure. No, she didn't part of it to me. All right now, Envy, this story is for you. We had to make sure we get to this. So Chris Harrison from The Bachelor, he wants to go back to hosting The Bachelor franchise, and he had to backtrack on some remarks that he made. He had to take a hiatus. He made a mistake talking to Rachel Lindsay about some photos that surface of another Bachelor contestant Rachel at a

twenty eighteen Antebellum South party. Here's what the original audio was. We all need to have a little grace, a little understanding a little compassionate. It's not a good well, Rachel, is it a good look in twenty eighteen or is it not a good look in twenty twenty one. Who how'd you feel when you heard that envy? I mean it was foul. I mean, this is the thing with

people like that. When he first made a death statement, he doubled down, and he tripled down on what he said, and when he got the backlash, then all of a sudden, oh my gosh, I was wrong. That was foul. Like it is what it is. That's what you believe, that's what you honestly believe. Stick with you. Well, he was on Good Morning America, and here he is taking accountability. I am saddened and shocked at how insensitive I was

in that interview with Rachel Lindsay. And I didn't speak from my heart, and that is to say, I stand against all forms of racism, and I am deeply sorry. I am not a victim here. I made a mistake and I own that. Yeah, he takes accountability because he got all the backlash and almost lost his job. That's the reason why he's taking the back of you know, the accountability. But he doubled the people down when he

did that. Innyview, well, Rachel Lindsay is saying she does accept his apology because it's what she needs to do to move forward with her life. She said she has not spoken to Chris directly since his Good Morning America interview, but she did watch it, and she did tell less they spoke about three weeks ago when it first happened, and he apologized directly then too, So that's what she told TMZ. And I feel bad for Rachel Man because

they've been attacking her. They've been, you know, they have threatening her, they've been sending her death threats and all that. And all she did was did all she did was do a great interview. So shout to Rachel. I don't know anything about what you're talking about, but I think it's hilarious when people don't accept other people's apologies. I think it's incredible because there's nothing funnier than watching the person who apologized. Do you accept my apologies? And process? No,

what do you do? But when you apologize, you got it got to be from the heart, like you really got to understand it. You can't just apologize because you're getting backlash and party is it Rachel Lindsay Van Lathan's co host Yes on his podcast, Yes Higher Learning Podcast, because I saw him talking about them attacking her shout the Van Van stood up for her. Man. I appreciate that he really held it down. Man, you care about the Bachelor. You don't care about no damn Rachel, No,

I do. I mean, I love my people and I want my people to win. And I love the fact that you did try to get Chris Harrison's job too. Oh you did? You did? You? I was joking serious, you was dead serious. I know you send some emails to the networking everything. Well, salute the Rachel. I don't know what's going on. I have no idea, but I stand with you. All right, Well that is your well, you must have really send some emails. I was kidding, but your reaction lets me know you did hold on email.

You don't know this, nigga. You think he didn't really send me. He definitely did because he wasn't sure if I knew or not. You told you think Rashawn Casey didn't send emails for real, for real. When Rashawn said he wants something, he going to try to get something. Okay, trust me, I know Bobby sent a demo and everything. I just want you to know he was on the Breakfast club like this. I'm going to human resources right now.

If you're listening to human resources, letting mckelvy just call me the N word and I am hurt by are you? Are you pronouncing his name wrong, just like people pronounce Kamala's name wrong on purpose. Try tocredit him first of all, opportunity, just use the N word. I'm sorry, but anyone checked you yesterday when that man came up here. Yesterday we had a security breacher. Man came up here and said he would not leave until he got a kiss from dj NV you a rose? I protected you? How'd you

Right, well, it's time to get email you sent revoked. We'll see you guys tomorrow or monday, I should say everybody else. He probably at tapped a picture with a rose in his mouth. Now.

I'm definitely gonna even me any sauces today. Man, listens up next. I didn't hear nothing else. It's the breakfast cell all right. Well, it's Women's History month. So who we rerapping today? Well, yes, so this weekend. Nicki Walton, she's a licensed psychotherapist. He's

a TV personality. She has curly Nicki dot Com. She's a best selling author Better than Good Hair, and she has a b her summit that she put together that is happening this weekend that is to empower and celebrate women. So listen to this. It's Women's History Month and we're celebrating the most influential women in history. Check out this phenomenal walk. So, as you know, this is Women's History

Month and I'm highlighting powerful women all month. And one person I wanted to bring to the front is Nicky Walton, a kid Curly Nikki, And as she does have a semit happening this weekend, we'll talk about that, but first I want Nikki to just talk about who she is, a best selling author, license psychotherapist, all of that. Yes, Yes, So I started curly nikki dot com back in two thousand and eight. I managed to get myself on the Tyra Banks Show and this website took off tremendously in

a very short time. I was sharing my story, my journey to self love from self hate. I didn't like my hair, I didn't like my skin, and I just I wanted to learn to love myself for who I really was. And as I continued that journey and continued sharing it became a phenomenon, and I wrote a best selling book with HarperCollins. In twenty thirteen, I began working with Steve Harvey with Doctor Oz. I continue to work with Doctor Oz to this day, sharing about outer beauty.

But during that whole time, during that rise, during my peak of success with Curly Nikki dot Com, I wasn't happy. I had everything that they told me I was supposed to have to be happy, but I wasn't. Family, house, nice car, the career, the success, bestseller's list, but I didn't feel fulfilled, and every day kind of felt the same.

I felt stuck, I felt stagnant, and I actually I called Tracy Ellis Ross sobbing weeping one day because I'm like, there must be more, there has to be more to life than just this, and She's like, you can't just wad like in the kiddie pool. You have to go deeper in your journey, your true journey, your inner journey. Yes, you love yourself more, your physical self more, but you

have to find out what is also there. So it was like mid twenty thirteen when I went deeper and I started reading at Cartole, Power of Now and Michael Singer and then about six hundred more books, six hundred more authors. I traveled the world, Yeah, traveled the world, all over the world, from Brazil to Africa to Spain, trying to find happiness, true peace inside, and I finally did, and I could see that no matter what temple I was in, what plane, I was on, what street I

was walking down, that peace was already always here. And so I started sharing about that on Instagram and on curly Nikki dot com, this hair blog that never really was just about hair and was always an inner journey to freedom. But I began sharing reluctantly this piece because I wanted to help the women that look like me

find the same freedom that I was finding. And I knew I was free for real when I was with my grandmother, who was my best friend in the whole white world, and she was taking her last breath, and that was like the moment that I had dreaded my whole life. And so I'm there in that moment, and the piece was there too, even though there was grief, I could fill that piece in the background. And so I began sharing and under the hashtag be her Now,

and it became a very powerful hashtag. Many women got it tattooed on them thousands of dms, where these very successful entrepreneurial women CEOs of companies are messaging me like I'm not happy. How can I find this piece inside? And yeah, that is my journey, and it's the journey that I know. We all have our different paths, but we're going to the same destination, which is recognizing that we have everything we need in us already and that

this piece is always already here. So first, let's start with hair, right as a representation, because I think so many women, especially black women, we have issues with our hair. I know, growing up, I used to hate that my hair was curly. It was crazy all the time. I didn't know what to do with it. And so I do want to talk about how hair is a representation of not just something superficial like people might think, because people have a lot of things to say about our hair.

It's of course, you know, yeah, just culturally how we're viewed. How you have to even have the crown act right, because women are looked a different way in the workspace if you have a certain type of hair. Ado, So let's talk about that a little bit and just how you got to that journey where you were able to embrace your hair because your hair is amazing and beautiful. I love it. Thank you, thank you. Yeah, I did not, and I actually never had a relax or growing up.

It was always present curl, but it was always wait. It was always present curled until I got to college. But it was an all white school. There were no black stylus up there, and I was left on my own. But I didn't like the fact that I was always concerned about my hair. So knowing that I knew I had to take control of learning about it because we

weren't taught how to care for our hair. But to be able to feel just as confident and comfortable and beautiful with your own hair, no matter if it's pulled back or out and curly or you have it straightened, that's a powerful place to be. Now, let's discuss you and how you felt like you were unhappy, and I feel you on that right. You had a best selling

better than Good Hair girl. You got everything, you got this going on, and you feel like you should be happy, and then you feel a little ungrateful that you're not, and you're like, like there's people who aren't doing what they want to do. There's people who are out there struggling. How dare I be ungrateful? So talk about how you came to that realization and what you did to kind of overcome that. Yeah, you know, I love that you touched on like that ungratefulness, because for me, I would

hear like, okay, practice gratitude, practice gratitude. I had a journal, and I never felt grateful, like genuine gratitude. It always felt forced, and I knew that that was a major problem. And as I went deeper and would sit, I would meditate girl for like two three hours a day, and I was blessed enough to have a lifestyle to be able to read all the time and meditate all the time. And I started seeing that true gratitude is not a human quality, it's a soul quality, It's a God quality.

So the more I got quiet and tapped into that more quiet place within that natural gratitude, that natural compassion, like true love, God love, just started coming from that place. And so all of a sudden, it wasn't like I was forcing myself to be grateful for the beautiful opportunities that had been given. It was I'm grateful in this moment for goodwifi to be able to speak with you.

I'm grateful for you know this microphone, you know that's delivering my voice in you know this chair that's supporting me. So like coming into the present moment is what helped me. I just had to recognize it and practice it in every moment and then it becomes your lifestyle. And it's just as natural now for me to feel grateful as it was for me to feel ungrateful ten years ago. So right now, there are so many people going through so many different things, and it has been hard for

people to take care of themselves. We have a lot of stress in our minds. So let's talk about why this summit it will be beneficial and what's happening at this be Her Summit. And so the be Her Summit is shifting, helping women shift into this and staying here, staying her the best version, the whole version of yourself, and the summit is going to take five entry points, recovering creativity, spirituality, entrepreneurship, beauty and wellness, meeting people wherever

they are, wherever their passions lie. But the threat that's tying it all together is that you are recognizing your wholeness and that you have everything you need within you already. You're just opening out a way for it to get out here in the world. And I would love, I would absolutely love for every woman that comes to the Summit to recognize that she is already free and it's just our thoughts that keep us feeling trapped, that keep us feeling small, and so stepping out of that box.

That's what we're doing on Saturday, March sixth, All day we're practicing. It's a mini retreat where we're practicing all day being our best selves in private together at home so that we can be and show up as our whole selves in public on Monday.
