That's one of those moments that I look back on and I cringe, like I ain't had to do that to Floyd Mayweather, you know what I mean, regardless of how people feel about Floyd, because you know, after that happened, it was a lot of people trying to justify to me why it was fine, you know what I mean.

But no, just because you know you don't like a person doesn't mean that it was the correct thing that that wasn't right now. I didn't like that. Hello, who's this yo? This is shell man.

The person that I came up here with a family, but me and the person I'm talking on more so, it's like I want to go back home, but at stop, Caline ain't the place to be, like, especially trying to get a good job like anyway. But it's also hard from me up here because I ain't got no financial support or nobody to help me out of no kind of for it. Well, it sounds to me like you know, you already know you needed a

change of environment. So if you know, if you know, you don't need to be an ach and you can scratch that off the list. That's not that's not a that's that's not a thing, right, Yeah, sure, so you just gotta stay where you had and figure it out, make it work. What is it? What is it that you want to do?

We got a special guest on the line right now. His album is out right now. Yes, sir t Yo, welcome some what's going on through Tip? I think you haven't done it again? Man I with the Leeber album heavy Man and and right now my favorite record on the album's family Connect with with You and the Money.

I gotta say man, I was shot in surprise, and I mean in the most pleasant ways. Man, I think that that that's the song that you know what I can undert say, that's a song I don't think hip hop has ever seen before. I was thinking about that when I was listening to it, I was like, has there ever been a father's son rap duo? Well that both of them actually don't. We'll did it at one time, didn't Will and Ja? Yeah, Will did it with Jay. But what we also must take into consideration is my

other son actually produced actor. I didn't know that it was a real family and fail that one. Yeah. Yeah, did you have to pay them to did you have to pay them to your Yeah? I paid them, I paid. I paid. I would be mad if you didn't, I know. I mean, you know nepotism, you know he did together? Or did you send your verse over and then DEMONI had to send his verse back? How did that work? No? Man?

You know the way actually happy broum the money. And I was sitting with Messiah is Messiah was like, yo,

let me let me let y'all hear something. So he was just going through beach kind of like you know, at the while, it probably was a time where I had been been I'd been going away like out of town for a second, and I came back and then you know what I'm saying, kind of we sat down at the studio and Messia you know, wanted basically as the money and that kind of like let I hit this, check this out for me, and were listening to his beats.

He kind of like, We're like, yeah, that's dope. That's dope, okay, the money of yea, like, man, I won't that one, And I said, man, I won't that one and one of the records that I chose, And then I coincidentally had to dip up out the studio to go do something. And when I think by the time I came back, the money had and I already recorded the verse. I

was like trying to take this record from me. And when I heard him do his verse when I came back, I figured I didn't put my verse on here now, so you know, ain't no confusion back who's gonna haead his record? And so I got I got on it, and it was dope. Y'all had such a dope back and forth door and It's like I'm sitting there thinking on the song he's rapping about how you know you all his daddy, but you don't want to you know, you don't want your help. So I'm like, damn, what

was the process of this record then? Because it sounds like y'all was coach you was coaching him on the nah Bro like he did he did his verse by himself. I did my verse by my every verse like we were never in the studio with one another while he was recording that verses? Do you ever think you was gonna be a professor? I see you're teaching at Clark Atlanta University. Did you ever see that as everything that you went through, I'm gonna be a professor that I'm

gonna be a teacher now? But I was a teacher person in prison. I taught class and prison. Did you you know what I'm saying? Yeah? Class? Did you teach a prisoner? What was it thinking that side the box? I believe it would call a man? It was about how do you I was. I was showing people how to use the skills that they've already acquired on the streets, how to use those skills and identify those skills and

purpose them for legitimate means. When they got back out on the students and they have the most something about about the whole correctional system. Right, they don't take these skills set that these brothers clearly have and help to you to help to help them to direct think energy. It's something positive right. Well, first of all, I mean I think because that's the system is set up a free label. It ain't really about rehabilitation. Now what are

you teaching in this class at the Clockland University? Is it the music industry is a business? Is an entrepreneurship? Yes, yes, yes, all the hood. If they need to know that, we could talk about it. But however, I think, nah, man, it's the business of trap music. That's the course and and basically we go over the business of trap music. But the first course was about targeting the need for

the business of trap music. Any business is supplying demand, profit and laws, right, But in order to supply or demand, you got to you gotta recognize the need for the demand of you know, like, why is this so important in the first place? Do you think people forgot how influential you were the trap music because you diversified your portfolio so much. Yeah? Absolutely, I think the same thing for hip hop that won't know do these lists. I don't ever put myself on the list because it's so

many other people who dedicated their lives. The only jests rapp to just do rep you know what I mean. And I think that's that's kind of why they get the consideration first. And I ain't got no problem with that. But but just no, any given moment, any given time, I'm gonna remind you why, why why I am who I am, and remind you that I do what I do. All Right, we got more with TA when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Come on now, we're kicking in

with Ti Charlomagne. Well, I saw you and I saw you and Gez talking on the Expeditiously podcast and you know you this is you both mentioned that Well, you mentioned that you would love to sit down and have a conversation with Gucci. Did anything come from and say, I would love to, but I love to see the people people assolated. You know, trap music would benefit greatly friendly,

you know what I'm saying. And once you and I just as a marketing executive, I would say, once you so as many tickets as you can to the fight. The only thing left to sell is tickets to the reunion,

you know, So did anything from that now? I mean like it it was just conversation though it was never like a plan, just conversation because I know that's what people a lot of people who follow the trap music and who are inspired by the culture, who followed the culture, you know what I mean, they recognize us as the architecture. You tapped in with all the younging for this project too. You got a Little Baby and Thug and forty two Doug. You got wrapped to the on the interlude Tokyo Jet.

Was that intentional? A little Baby record hard too? Yeah? I appreciate that, man. Yeah, I mean some of it was and some of it wasn't. So the part were you talking about like, you know, thugod and a Little Baby and forty two Dug, you know, and minds. Yes, that was intentional rhapsody. We just stumbled on that. I reached out to him, just gave a cold call one day, like, hey, people to do spoken words about me? What would it

sound like? What would you say? So then she asked me a few questions about the title of the album, and she asked me, you know, to his souls I sell a couple of sauls and overnight she did what she heard. Wow, you know, and then as I heard her, that's when I was like, you know what, I'm gonna get old women to do this. You know what I mean. You got on there too doing a conclusion. That was the huge, That was the biggest, That was the biggest shop in surprise of my life. I never expected Asia

to do this, really and I was blown away. That gotta be a proud papping moment. Just I mean, for real, bro, Like for one, okay, Sodjia and I have you know, uh, for most of her life. I cannot say this, and I'm very careful with my words, especially when speak about Daja. Okay, so yeah, when she came into that point in her life where, you know, kind of the transition favors in your life, when that thing that girls do every month happens, when we get our pre I ain't see. I wasn't

gonna say that you did what I'm saying. I wasn't gonna say that. But when you like, so when Dasia made it to that point, I like, from that point forward, we kind of hand spoken as much I ain't had we didn't have as much of inability to, you know, to speak freely to one another for whatever reason. And you know, over the past year we gained we gotten close, and this is kind of like a testament of that, you know what I'm saying, And especially with all of

the stuff that we go through over the past year. Um, you know, with hyming gates, and every relationship would be tested. I don't care who was with your relationship with your mom, relationship with your girl, with your wife, with you whoever, every relationship, it would be tested. And and that test is going to strengthen it or weaken it. And I think the thing that that she and I went through last year, that was our test you did, and we took this serious steals, you know, and we got through it.

She and now all we remained connected, you know what I mean. She and now always had to understand it. You know, we were speaking, We would you know, share share our opinions with each other about what was going on like in the media as it pertained that uh and you know, She I were telling the man it ain't it ain't not our job and really talk to nobody and tell them what we feel about anything that ain't not a job that when they think that, they'll

think it. So what you know? I was like, yeah, all right, man, cool and to y'all, we appreciate you for checking in the albums out right. Now it's the Breakfast sir, it's topic time. The phone called eight hundred five eight five one oh five. Want to join it to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Talk about it morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now if you just joined us,

we are talking about Eva. She was on Wendy Williams shown she talked about her child and changing her child's last name. Let's hear it. Sling changed her name this past year. It was we went through a lot to do it, but how much more before the actual process is done? Well, the name change is illegal, so now we have to go through the adoption process. And I mean he's making a little bit easier for us acting crazy in the public. Well, I guess Life Jennings seen

that and he didn't like that too much? Are you? He said, I think this is so wack changing your daughter's last name from her father's to somebody else's, especially when the father tries to see her. The daughter don't have anything to do with their beef, and what kind of man allows that ish piss meet off? So we're asking eight hundred five five one oh five one is it acceptable to change your child's last name? What do you think, charl I mean, I got to know the

context of the situation. You know what I'm saying. If you're doing it just out of spite, just because you don't like your baby daddy because he don't want to be with you and you got a new man, now that's whack. But I mean about if you got a deadbeat daddy. What about it's a deadbeat daddy, the dad is not around, the dad is not taking care of the child. I have no problem with that whatsoever. By the way, then the son of the daughter shouldn't want to wear the name of a deadbeat. Yeah, I don't.

I don't know either situation. But you know, with with with Kevin McCall, I mean, we all know Kevin McCall has problems mentally, but it does seem like he is trying to take care of his daughter. Seemed like he goes to call I just don't know, Like I don't know if he's abusive. I don't know, you know what I mean. But in a situation if there is a deadbeat dad, and I'm taking it away from that situation, if the dad is not in the child's life and he's not even helping no way whatsoever, no, I say,

changed that name immediately. What do you think? Well? And I just want to point out that we did have this couple on from family or fiance and Jane Leshonda and they had a similar situation. Listen to this now. Another big issue is your children. So Leshanda, you have kids, Dre, you don't have kids, but those are your daughters now. And you guys are talking adoption, right, but without the

biological father's consent. From what I gathered from watching the episode, the showmates to look like it's a concern to do it without consent. My kid's father haven't been around in four years. He was gone before Dre got here. So that's where the adoption thing comes in. It's not like we're trying to replace somebody. He's not an active father. Financially, his presence isn't there. So she's changing her daughter's last names too because the father is not in the children's life.

And the daughters actually want to change their last name to her husband's name. He's the one that's taking care of them and doing everything. And legally, if a woman wants to change her children's last names, she either had to get consent from the biological father, and he who doesn't give consent, he can object to it, and then she has to get a petition and then go to court, and he can show up to court and say he doesn't want that to happen, and then the judge has

to decide. So that's how it goes down legally. But I do feel like, whoever is the father, If the mother chooses to do that, and the father is causing issues or he's not in the child's life or not holding up his responsibilities, and he's not really your dad, and the last name is Immiman, you definitely want to change that. You don't want to walk around with dad last name getting this gracious Hello, who's this? Hey? This is Karina from Jersey City. Hey, Karna from Jersey City.

Is it acceptable to change your child's last name? I don't think it is, because at the end of the day, that's that father's child. You get what I'm saying, Like, a sepfather could come in and raise the kid, and that's a fine, but it doesn't take away the fact that that's the father's child. You got what I'm saying. It's a legacy that kind of goes on. It's a

blood line. You know, you can always acknowledge a stepfather for always doing the good and you know, give them praise with the kid, but you can't take away the main dad's last name. Okay, Hello, who's this Sheila from Jersey? Hey, mama, Jersey's on a check in heavy. So what do you think is it acceptable to change your child's last name? No?

I don't know with that. Okay, go ahead. I don't agree with that because no matter how much you don't like your kid's dad, or no matter how crazy he might ask, or no matter what he does, changes my last name, it's not going to change the DNA. It's not going to change who the father is. So you have to get over that. And on top of that, like you're you're salsifying an image of somebody that's not true,

Like that's not her dad. And if one day it doesn't work out between you two, now he legally is her dad and that's not really her dad, you know what I mean, Like, it's just well, it's petty. It doesn't make another other person your dad. They would have to actually adopt the children, so that the kids aren't adopted even if you're married, right then that's what I'm

talking about, Like the image that you're portraying to your children. Now, what if your kids are like, I want to have the same last name as you and my dad, you know, the stepfather. Well, I mean that's a choice that they have to make, and the two parents should come to a you know, to a middle ground with that would

be their choice. But if they're not old enough to make those type of decisions, just saying that, because whatever the situation is, you know, like some kids they grow up and they're told this is their death, this is their dad, and that's what they think, you know, Like, so what if the biological father is absent from the children's life. Um, I mean me personally, I don't agree in that. My father was not was not in my life either, and my mother still maintained our last name

as his. I mean, I guess I would be up to the child when they grow up to decide if they want to do that or not. I just wouldn't do that. Hello, who's this just to spoom from Dayton, Ohio? Hey, is it acceptable to change your child's last name? Um? I think it just really depends on the circumstances. Okay. And the reason why I say that is, you know, my daughter, her father is not in her life. It's never been in her life, which is fine, but she still has his last name. And UM, I don't call

her like that about her dad. You know, she can find out on her own, just like my mom told me about my dad. But I don't think a name defines a person. Now, if you have, you know, someone new in your life and they you want to spend the rest of their life with you, and you know, you know, you and your kids are a packaged deal. And if that dad is not, you know, in that child's life, I don't see a problem with it being.

But you know, then you got these little baby moms, you know, you got these you know, baby moms that you know couldn't change the man's life with a child, and um, you know, being used as a tactic to attack, right, you know. So, Um, you know, a baby is not a pond, you know, So whatever that child's name is leave that baby alone. So you know, that's how I

think it is. Also like, as we always talk about women taking the husband's name after marriage, I think for kids, if you live in a house with the mom and the stepfather and that's who you know is your dad and you call him dad, you might want to have the same last name. Hello, who's this? I didn't want to make ane of the Lando, Florida good b. Is it acceptable to change your child's last name? Brother? No? No, brother, I don't think it is. Man. I wanted to share exchange.

I'm glad you got picked up. I actually had an actual wife who tried to do that for me, and I would like to use your good man If that's okay with you all, that's the first name please, Okay, Okay, I don't South Carolina. I already know you got you a nice country as Yeah. Yeah, try to do that to your boy. And I think that's painful and disrespectful to a man. I don't think another might show anything like that. Are you in your child's life? Are you in your child's life? All right, my child life. I

love my kids very much. I'm a virgo and v or. You know how we do love our kids, okay, to take care of home. So what happened is she trying to do it legally and then you blocked it. She talked about trying to do it, and then she got a lawyer to trying to do it, and you know, kind of paid at their money out there. You know, they dropped the whole thaing, Okay, all right, well, thank you brother. So what's the more of the story, guys?

The morrow of the story is that every case is different, though, and there's no one size fits all when it comes to family. So I think whatever decision you make, it always has to be in the best interests of your children and not in your own selfish best interests. The more of the story is, y'all better stop picking who y'all mate with, like y'all rolling dice in the back

of a moving God damn pick up Trump. Okay, that's y'all better stop doing all right, take care of your kids exactly when you lay down with these When you lay down with people, man, do you know think about spending the rest of your life with this president because you never know, this person might give you a disease you can't get rid of. This person might give you a baby, or better yet, you might grow to love this person and be married to him the rest of

your life. Either way, that's all forever. Just pick the right father when you're dealing with these people. Okay, with our best stuff in more than everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club now, you guys all, No, Monique stopped by the Breakfast Club yesterday and we're getting it on today. So we're gonna play that for you special guests to build it. Miss Monique. Good morning, good morning morning, good morning morning. When Monique

walked in, I gave a hug. I wanted her to know it's all love. Yes, he did my life. We just here to have a conversation. That's all we're doing. Now, what's going on today, Miss Mornique. A while ago, I had to come out and I spoke in reference to Netflix that we had to boy you know, I was asking folks to stand with us as we boycott Netflix for gender bias and color buy it correct, and we were fighting for equality. And then I found out that I had become Donkey of the day yes by Leonard,

and I gotta call you by your name, baby. Okay, okay, baby, he's getting real special lenar, but we're gonna ok And then I was called donkey of the day. And it really caught me off guard because when I met this brother some years ago, and I met a young man that was full of humility and respect. And when I got on an elevator, he actually held the door. I remember like it was yesterday, and I said, oh, baby, thank you, and he was just like that, yes, ma'am,

and Miss Monique, is a pleasure to meet you. And we had a very beautiful exchange. And I said to that brother, tell your mama that she raised you right, and I said it was my mama and my grandma, yes, ma'am. So I felt like this was as still as a beautiful young brother making this way, but full of humility and respect. Two we fast forward and I become dunkey of the day. So I didn't want to have to be here say. I didn't want to have anybody exchange

words that I may have said to him. So my husband and I wanted to come on so we could understand how I got titled donkey of the day. Why did you give a donkey to day? Well, I think it was due to the whole Netflix situation. You know, when I heard you say that you know you wanted us to boycott because of racial and gender bias, but then you went on to mentioned two brothers and a woman, So I said, maybe she should be more specific and

say black woman gender biased. But then, also just from a business aspect, I wanted to know why did you feel like, you know, you should have gotten whatever Chris Rock got, whatever Day Chappelle got, or whatever Amy Schulman got, because I feel like this is a what are you doing for me right now? Type of a She didn say what they got, she said she should have got more than she was offered. And then Charlomagne you brought up an old Netflix special as well, but that was

later on. But my point was like, this is a what are you doing for me right now? Kind of interscure. We all know Monique as a legend, but we also know that those things, those deals that Netflix had given out are based off recent stand up shows, recent shows, recent concert recent arena's, recent tours like that. But I just wanted to know why you felt like you deserved that much. Daddy, would you like to start or would you like for me, it didn't start with the offer

where the color bias and the disrespect transpired. It started from when we had our initial conversation after Monique got her reviews from the nights in which Benjamin and Caitlin, who are representatives for Netflix, came out to see Monique and which on two different nights they saw her get a standing ovation, which subsequently gave them reviews of amazing

and great show. So when we're in the midst of having the conversation prior to them giving the offer, we're in the midst and he says, well, I want to make it very clear that, you know, people speak about Dave Chappelle, Amy Schumann, what they got. I want to just make it clear, you know, so we can manage expectations that everybody doesn't get those type of deal. Well, when we're in the midst of that conversation, the phone disconnects.

We never reconvened, he never gets us back on, and our attorney looks, calls me up and we speak and we're like, well, that was strange. Are we're going to get back on the phone or not. Because anybody who does business knows that this is a key time in

whish to build the value of your client. Then we came back with an offer that they allegedly had sent over that our attorney and I had never received, and then on that it was a certain time limit in which we were supposed to respond what we had passed the time limit because we never received it. When our attorney had asked them to please resend the offer that they had allegedly sent, it was clear that it had never been sent in the first place. That's the second

red flag. When we get on the phone to discuss the offer that they had then finally sent over. Initially they didn't want to have the conversation until I expressed to them it is very ironic that the call we had was disconnected. We never reconvened. You became evasive, You can't get on the phone. Now I have to express what it's feeling like, which is gender biased, color biased. And there's also an age issue that we didn't discuss that's in there as well. So those three things are

what led to it. In conjunction with the fact that the very items that he said did not translate for Monique, which were her resume what she's done in terms of movies. It didn't translate, but he said those were the things that translated for Amy Schumer. So why is Amy resume work and Monique does not? And they could not explain it. Well, if he's just joining us, that's Sydney, that's Monique's managing husband, if he just joining us, so you know the voices. Well,

for I don't think Amy Schuman is funny. That's number one. But she did sell out fifty arenas around the world and including MSG and HBO wanted her as well, so she created a bidding war based on those stats. So I assume that's the reason her number was at that place. Well, I want to address something because you said I assume,

and then you also said Monique is a legend. That's what you said, absolutely, right, And then when Robbie Prole and Netflix also says Monique is a legend, correct, absolutely. And you believe that Chris Rock is a legend as I do as well, Yes, and you would say Dave Chappelle is a legend, right, absolutely. What makes me a different legend from Dave Chappelle and Chris Rock, Well, when it comes to those that Netflix, specially, the fact that

Dave Feld did fifteen hundred Shoals. Prior to signing his Netflix deal, Chris Rock was on tour with the Total Blackout Tour, selling our shows arenas around the world before they did it, and they learned him away from HBO. I understand what y'all are coming to the table with. When I came to the table and I said, guys, and I said it humbly, I'm gonnat decorate a comedian

a line. And I said that humbly. And then people, some people said, oh, Monique is crazy till it was proven, till everybody actually saw the numbers and said, well, I guess she's right about that. And when you say this is they what have you done for me lately? The question is how much more do I have to do? Brother? Because when you do a film called Almost Christmas, and that film has a seventeen million dollar budget, but it

makes forty five million dollars. And then my sister Amy Schuman does a film called Snatched, and that film makes forty five million dollars, but it has a budget of forty two million dollars. Now what's the profit on that? I'm asking the question. You have made a lot more profit than Amy. It was actually twenty five million dollar profit. But that movie Amy did her Netflix deal before Snatched, No,

he said. Robbie Paul said that was what made him also give it a deal because of the big movie that she had coming out, right, and that's where we had to check, well, yeah, coming out that was so. But she did the Netflix deal before that movie came out. Well, we actually talked to the vice president of Netflix, Leonard Leonard, and what happens is when you're basing off of what you're assuming and then you give me a title of Donkey of the Day. Is your mother still alive? Yes? Man?

And you're from what city in South Carolina? South Carolina? Monks Corner? And if I was to call your mother or your grandmother, could they tell me stories of inequality that they had to deal with? Absolutely? So, would your mother be a donkey? No? Would your grandmother be a donkey? No? I need you to explain how you gave me the title, because you're not explaining it. You're going off of what

I assume. But because you're on that microphone, and when we open up these microphones, we know just how powerful our voices can be, don't we, Angela, Yes, we do, and we know that what we say can become law, correct Lanard, absolutely, So when we do that, we must then explain it to our community because we know how poisonous it can be when we put things out, but

we can't back it up. We just say it. We have more with Monique when we come back, we got to talk more Netflix or negotiations, and it gets more awkward with her and Charlomagne. So keep a lot. This the breakfast club of Morning Mording. Everybody is dj N v Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the breakfast club. Monique is here, Charlomagne. I think everything you're saying about

racial biases absolutely correct. Gender bias is absolutely correct. We know that the black woman is unappreciated and undervalued and a lot of different industries. But I think that when it comes to this Netflix situation, it's very specific. I think it's more of an individual thing than it is a collective problem. Like can you can you can you can?

You honestly ask you is this? Can you say? If it's an individual problem, how come that there are no individuals of color who happen to be female comedians that have had the multiple million dollar pay days with Netflix? Because what happens with the black community, it's what have you done lately? But when you are a white person in this industry, it's you're only as good as your last project. I thought it was drawing the amount of

people that will watch special. Do you think it's specific to comedians, because I do know they've given out multimillion dollar deals to Eva, Dubna, Shanda Rhymes. So you think it's specific to the comedy industry, Well, I'll let you answer it. What black female comedians got the multi million dollars deal? But don't you think it's coming. I'm sure, I'm sure. I'm sure Tiffany Hattris will be presented with something if she hasn't already. Well, but we got to

speak about the sisters. That's done it. See when Wanda Sykes is umber one hundred on Comedy Central's Top Comedians Ever, number seventy, I'm sorry, daddy, number seventy on the top one hundred ever. But they offered her two fifty. So what do you say to that? Oh, you know, I actually asked about that. I spoke to somebody on Netflix and they offered that deal to want the Sykes before this guy that does these stand up deals even got in the position they offered this deal to her some

years ago. Does it seem strange that you always have an answer when I'll finish, line keeps getting moved when I say, name me one black female comedian that's got the million dollar payday, I'm waiting to hear the answer, right, So you think it's specific to comedians because I don't. I don't know on Netflix any whatever that. But I can't say and history name her? Well, I would ask what what what black female comedian has sold out fifty

arenas around the world? Stairs four beautiful black female comedians that we just got a Legends award. Her name is Samore, her name is, her name is miss Lore, her name is Monique. And when the Queens of he was on tour, see, we made history. And I don't know if you've done your homework, because we were the only female group, black white Latin Asian to sell out consecutively around this country. But you'll disregard that because you'll say, well, what did

you do yesterday? So you can't take it away. But if I'm doing business and I'm basing it off doing a deal with somebody who did this last year, as opposed to doing it fifteen years ago, at twenty years ago, whenever it was, wouldn't it make more sense to do with the person who did it just a couple of years ago. If you're doing business and you say, what's Monique's resume? Now you're the businessman and you're looking at that resume and everything on that resume says number one.

Everything one that resume says sell out. Now all of a sudden, is it going to change? Businessman? Yeah, I would say if I had to sign Kobe Bryant today, I'm not gonna give Kobe Bryan one hundred million dollars Country. Well, you're right, but his resume is amazing. The difference between Kobe Bryant today and Monique today is when you're thirty six in the game basketball, you don't lost your step.

When you are fifty years old in the game of comedy, your season and if she had to come, if they had to come to Netflix to your point, because you make a very good point, and Monique had a stumble like a forty year old or a thirty eight year old Kobe Bryant who's got a rupture to chilles heel that you got to bounce back from then it would make sense, but it's you dropped fifty and still was dropping buckets. What would you say because they watched two

standing ovations and two sold out clubs? You're absolutely right, Brothers City. Let me ask you this, why not put together a theater, our arena tour and sell that out and then come back to the table a table But it doesn't have to go to see My whole thing is is that's something else we were talking about the money offered, and my whole thing is as a businessman, being a legend and all that doesn't necessarily matter. It's

what's what's who do people? I want to see? You could be a legend and people love you, but if you can't attract the people but to come to the place to see you, or to come to Netflix to watch you, it doesn't. It would be the question almost Christmas, would you say that was a hit movie? Definitely a hint. Would you say Bessie was a hit? Yes? Would you

say Prescious was a hit? Absolutely? So the question is, so Monique, you didn't do nothing in twenty seventeen that was on TV that we could see, So that means you're irrelevant. I don't think anything. What happens is when someone said to me, Monique, does it become disheartening when it's your folks, it's understandable. I don't take offense. It's understandable and not explain why when I have to sit here and not defend, but explain to people that look

like me, Well, when did I become irrelevant? If that was a movie I'll call almost Christmas? What in twenty sixteen. It's just twenty eighteen, So now all of a sudden, Oh, we don't know if people are gonna show up and show out. Now. When I did a show called the Bernie and Sid Show, I'll show you know those brothers, two white brothers. And when I walked in there, Lenard, I walked in with a preconceiving notion that I was gonna have to defend myself because one is a strong

Trump supporter and the other is a Democrat. But I'm thinking I'm gonna have to walk in and defend myself with these white brothers. After five minutes of us talking, they shut their showdown and they said, Monique, we're gonna call this what this is. This is nothing but racism, and we can't sit back and allow it and watch it happen. So no, we're gonna tell our listeners two boycott Netflix until they get it right, because you are a legend and we have to honor and respect you.

And now those are my white brothers. Then I come to my folks and I have to be donkey of the day, which you still haven't explained, Leonard, and you're gonna have to because when you make those type of statements about your sister to our community, what you're saying to the community is as black women, you're devalued. And if you stand up and you make a stand and you say we need equality and we have to say

what's right and what's fair. And then a brother that looks like me from South Kolana says, you're the donkey of the day. You have to explain that to our community. I've explained it. I said that I think that you're using racial and gender bias with your actual real issues. The scruggle that the black women's going through in many industries is a real issue, but you're using it to

focus on something that you're dealing with individually. Did you just see Viola Davis come out and say pay her equally. Did you just hear that? Absolutely? So when you have us saying the same thing, we're saying, pay us equally, you're saying, oh, Monique, this is an isolated situation. Well, then what that says is you don't know the history of this business that you're in, and you sit behind this microphone and you try to be the guru of black culture. I'm gonna need you to know the history

of us before you begin to label us. And once you know the history, you know I'm not saying anything unique. Brother, I just don understanderstand how you can justify making thirty million dollars twenty team for a stand us. Second, when you say justify thirteen millions, did you get a chance to read what the offer was. I did read some

of it, Yes, well all of it. The key is we got to read all of it because what Chris Rock said a long time ago, if you want to hire something from a black person, put it in a book. This is not about comparing the definitive numbers as to what Amy got and what David them got, because it's married to what you just communicated. But when you ask a comedian to take a half million dollars for two years.

You can't say any jokes. They don't want you to do stand up for two years, and essentially they want you to take a half a million dollars and lose out on two million dollars of work that you would have made on the road. Anyway, that right there, it doesn't make sense how we have more with Monique when we come back. Don't move just local morning morning. Everybody is dj mv Angela, Ye, Charlomagne, the guy we are the breakfast club. Monique is in the building, Charlomagne. He

just asked, did we make a counter offer? And that's a very important question. I did see that they responded to the counter offer and said they won't They regretfully won't be able to do this deal. Hopefully you guys can work together in the future. And that's the point

that we have to make to you, Lenard. But in addition to that, my love, and this is in conjunction with Roland Martin and John Mary putting out a rumor that Monique was offered three million dollars and then didn't have the decency as journalists to come back and say

we apologize for the misinformation. Because if you notice Monique's keep Monique keeps producing receipts, and as crazy as this sounds, this is a bigger picture than just Netflix because what has happened was you've heard about Lee Daniels coming out speaking in reference to how difficult Monique was and the

whole nine. We live in a culture in which the ladies who are going up in the room saying hashtag me too, and people are saying, well, you know, if you're going up in the room at two o'clock in the morning, you know you're about to get screwed, So why did you go up there and do it? Or what happens is they'll say to Monique, why didn't you go promote a movie for lions Gate for free? Because you know what they'll do to you. So now you're in the damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.

Because the women who go up in the room, the reason why they go up in the room, they know they're going to get screwed when they go up in the room. They just don't know how bad they're going to get screwed. If they don't go up in the room. What happens This is why, again, Lenard, you've got to be careful with your words because you called your sister donkey of the day, but you didn't do your research, and you pulled that poison out into our community. Was

out fully doing your research. And now as we sit here, you have to almost backtrack your words. Well, when you ask a question, did you counter offer? We put all of it out there. We put the information out there. So you were so ready to do good readio that you didn't do your homework. And when you have a conversation, you know a brother named Geral Kelly, absolutely, would you consider him your friend? Absolutely? See I was on the

road with Jerel Kelly two weeks ago. Yeah, he called me and he said, Monique I talked to uh Charlemagne and he said, Man, you know I love Monique. I wasn't doing nothing but making readio. I didn't see that with Gerald Kelly, because what again, when you say, did you counter offer? See, we did, and they said there was no negotiations, you take it or leave it. But had you done we didn't actually counter offer what they said in the midst of our conversation. You've given us

something to you on. We're gonna come back and reflect on it and we said, and I said to them, trying to give them, how are you sure, because here's the thing. We don't want to waste your time if if it's not real. However, if it's real and we can get something done, of course we would love to do business with you. So y'all really didn't make a

counter offers. No, so what we're saying, They said it was no negotiable as they were going to go back to reflect on what we had discussed, and when they came back, they said that we are based upon our discussion, we decided not to make a counter offer in reference to what it is that you're speaking in reference to hopefully we can do business in the future and so forth.

Because what they were trying to emphasize to us that a half a million dollars was a strong enough number and other people that they considered equal to Monique, which they did not name. They said, they've taken that number. If you notice you're having a conversation with Nique, why is it that Netflix won't have a conversation with people because they can bank on people like Charlemagne. They can bank on our brothers and sisters like Charlemagne that will

say we'll fight them. We'll fight them for you for you don't have to fight is I'm still trying to get you and brother Sydney to justify why you think you deserved thirteen million dollars? Was there a bidding war between platforms when you say, when you say justify, I'm gonna put my resume on the table. That's all I'm gonna have to do. Do you do the numbers and ticket sales that Chris Rock does, that Dave Chappelle does that day? If given the opportunities, why don't you answer

the question. See if given those opportunities, you're answering the questions for yourself. We're not given the same opportunities. Brother, But if you do your why can't you in Sydney Garden book arena tours? Do they go I'm booked their tours? Or do promoters book then? See what we're gonna do right now is and what I'm not gonna do with you now you want to play a tip for tech And what you're saying is a black women's resume don't matter.

I'm not saying that to be trying to weaponize things like the SUS two hundred and fifty thousand dollars and she's considered one of the best. Or that was years ago and they said that was they would never do that now. And I literally heard just like a few weeks ago. So you did talk about the situation with Lee Daniels, and you talked about people saying that. Now we've read some things also because you're here and our cousin,

so we left for you to speak on this. So there are people that say that you didn't treat people well, yes, and that they've had issues working with you and that you're difficult. Yes. So let's address some of that because Roland Martin brought it up when you guys spoke on Twitter. Yes, and he talked about the Ebony magazine cover shoot that you did with Chris Rock and Steve Harvey. Yes, and he said that it was a nightmare because of you.

What happened at that shoot, Well, what happened if that shoot was a check was thrown at one of our assistants, and you don't throw anything at anyone and I had a problem with that. See, they won't fill you in on all that happened. So you had to let that person know that's not how you do business. And that's unacceptable.

So I have no problem speaking on it. When they said I mistreated people on almost Christmas, well we have twenty interviews because we knew that they would say something like that with the people that worked in the background professionals, the lighting guys, the camera guys, when they all said our experience with Monique was stella. What happens is you hear the bullies speak out, but then the bullies run. Because when those videos did come out, did rolland Martin

come back when the videos did come out? Just with the three little videos, you heard nothing else? Did you? Let's backtrack a little bit because with Will Packer, yes, okay, so Will Packer and rolland Martin and you know a lot of people have spoken out that have dealt with

you personally and said these things. But I haven't really heard anybody say anything negative about Will Packer, about working with Lee Daniels, and I haven't heard them say anything negative about some of the people that they've worked it. So why is it? Let me I can answer that. That's a great question. And you know the guy Harvey Weinstein, and he was able to do that for how many years? Decades? And why do you think that was well. They were working with a lot of people who felt like their

career would be in jeopardy if they spoke out. Do you think this is a unique situation. Do you think that people are fearful to speak out when they're mistreated? Is it mistreatment of sexual assault? Money? We can't we can't put out false equivalences about people. I understand what is it between mistreatment and sexual Let me say its levels to mistreatment. You're you're absolutely right, but mistreatment is mistreatment,

and you can't paint willing the same. This is the same because based upon the information that you have, you feel comfortable with it, because this is the world we live in. If you keep hearing it, it seems as if it's true. And the reason she had some difficulty with one of the individuals who were the first ape or something like them, she had walked into Monique's trailer

while she was undressed without knocking. And I don't know if you know, but there was a letter that Steve Harvey had written a while ago in reference to how people just walk into his room. What happens is she's the type of person that doesn't allow people to get disrespected, and she's not going to have an issue with the people that are the hourly wage folks. It's typically the people who are the powerful one. She's not having no

beef with nobody. There were people that were getting their fingers pointed in their face that happened to be black women by white men on the set of Precious and she said, I can't allow that to happen. Guy. So what happens is you are forgetting that this is a country that had slavery for hundreds of years. And when do we start realizing that we are so conditioned to normalize bad treatment when white men are able to say, hey, guys, she's right, how does the black community not see it?

We have more with Monique when we come back. Don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne, the guy. We are the breakfast club. We have Monique in the building still, Charlomagne. I want to know about this though. Have you received other offers from other screaming services? Let me say this because other than that help with negotiations when you get come of

that black ball being put over my head. The offers that come in from Netflix, they can come in low like that because they know you've been blackball you know what the word is about you. So we assume that you're suffering and we can offer you whatever we want to offer you. So the offers have come in even lower than that. You got a Netflix special beforehand, though, right, well, I didn't have a Netflix special. What happened was the one and put it on there exactly. I didn't make

any deal with Netflix. So those shows just happened to be on it. And they've been on there for a long time. So someone would say, if this woman is not bringing in any views, why, but we hold onto the content. They've been on there for a minute, so as well, I'm assuming so we don't get a report on that. But as I sit here again and I sit between my sister, Hi, I know you deal with inequality, Angela. You're in the same business I'm in. But you'll look at me and you'll say, well, I need you to

explain to me. They said you was a problem here and a problem there. We all know when you don't allow bullies to take place, and when you don't allow yourself to get bullied, don't you get labeled? Yes? But can I just for full disclosure. Please. There are definitely people that I know that I've worked with you on the Ebony shoot. Yes, and I've heard things. Well, they've told me personally, people that were in the room, say their names and if not, like I told Lenar before,

keep it on the playground. Well okay, So I saw Alfred Edmond Jr. Who's the editor chief of Black Enterprise Magazine. Yes, I saw that Amy Dubarbe, who was the editor in chief of Ebony at the time of that shoot, who was very excited to have you on the shoot. She left a comment because he posted something about you and the numbers and about your worth and how you are the most decorated comedian, and she commented it was a nightmare working with her and I would never want to

go through something like that again. I saw that comment is still on his page. Now. I would love to sit down and talk with that sister face to face so she can tell me about the nightmare. Because what they won't do is they won't fill it in. See, they won't fill in. We were being arrogant and we wanted to treat that woman as if we were doing her a favor by putting her on the cover. As my husband told me years ago, we don't disrespect anyone, but we overrespect no one. And I want you to

look at me. I'm a big fat black woman. You're not stop real talk. What big fat black woman has to stands up and says this is not fair because what the feeling is with some of our sisters and brothers. Monique, you should be grateful you just got invited to the part party because of the way you look. So for anyone that says they ever had a problem with me, bring them to the table, bring them to the table

and let's have a conversation. But what you'll find is we'll speak about this woman when she can't see us. We'll make comments. But we're the type of people that say, let's have a conversation. And when you find out that they're wrong, will you then speak up loudly for me as you speak up for them. I absolutely, Let's says the Mornique and brothers. And you don't ask you a question.

Let's just talk numbers. If you put your numbers up against the Amy Schumers, the Chris Rocks to Dave Chappeld and I'm talking about selling out arenas all over the world. How can you justify getting a huge payday like them when you're saying that you're going to offer her one twenty six of what Amy Schumer got, and you're referring to Monique as a legend, and you're seeing her performance and you see the people standing up for at the end of the show. Have you read the reviews to

the net flick special for Amy Schumer? I don't think Amy's funny. You don't got it. You don't got Amy got me blocked that this is the part, Daddy, and we gotta wrap up the show. But when we did sell out this fifty arenas around the world and MSG a few times an HBO's pressure, that did great. And this was all in twenty SI. Here's what brother leonarda saying, Like this year, another show comes and they become number

one and not the breakfast Club. And then let a host come in here that's been doing it for maybe five years less than you, and then they get paid

twenty six times more than you. Then you come back and have a conversation with us, because right, that's all because what happens is when you sit here and you say, make it make sense, Well, we don't have to because again and if you do have to make it make sense, especially if you're calling on people to boy, we made things like we made it make bias because we're saying, here's the resumes, guys at conjunction with that, the only

thing we're saying is if, hypothetically speaking, it in thirteen million, Charlemagne, we're saying, is how come there's not. They're saying to the community that it's not one black woman that is a veteran comedian out there to day that is worth a seven figure number. So what would have been a

respectable number from this Monique answering? Let me, let me give you a respectable number for Monique, something that would supersede what she would have made in two years, and at the very least, which she would have made two years to be able to take to two years off that they're contractually asking her to do, to not be able to tell jokes, You would not take a deal because they're gonna give you a lump summer cash that's going to castrate you out of three fourths of your income.

Do you understand what I'm saying? So the deal didn't include the two years and didn't have that you couldn't tell jokes. If I would have taken a deal for five hundred thousand dollars Angela, what position with that I put the babies that's coming after you. No, the deal is foul. The deal is absolutely positively foul. Nobody says the deal is right. But you know, they know Monique's reputation. As far as what people are rumored to say, it

does matter. They know that the networks are not necessarily giving her the money and giving her less. They know what it is. So why would I give as a business person obscene number when I know she can't get it anywhere else. It's foul, but it's business. But if you saying, Monique, it is foul, and you all right? So if we know it's right and we know it's foul, then what do we do? We do it on our own.

That's just like talking to Steve Harvey and brother Steve Harvey says, MO, I know you're right, and I know you're not lying, but could you have done it another way? You know, what's the suggestion? What's the other thing? I don't want you to do? Do it? We do do it on our own, but we still got to speak up. I think the problem started with you coming out and comparing yourself of the Chris Rock Dan Chappelle and why.

And I think because because because there's no way that you can justify getting that amount of money that they've got. Not to you, I've gotten more than five hundred thousand. Yes, and I've said that one. Well, here's what I'll say. No, that's not what y'all know. What y'all were saying was y'all should have got the same amount Rock chapellin let me, let me, let me get that. Let me answer that, Daddy.

What I said was, if I'm considered a legend like my brothers, then why would I get what legends get? Because that is exactly what I said. Because their resume recently, you can just move it on paper. We're gonna listen, Lenard, We're gonna let you hold on to that. But what I will say to you is, and to all the black women and women of color that is listening, when you hear this brother's voice come over the air, and I'm gonna apologize like about what I'm getting ready to say.

He does not have a value on black women and women of color. How can you say I'm gonna say that, but years ago, I'm gonna held the donna tell you what I think that's contradictory. I'm gonna tell you why I said it. Because what happens is when you leave a place called Monk Monk's Corner, South Carolina, and you come to a big city named New York, and then you change your name to Shalomann. Well, when you were there,

you become Shaloman the God. Now, I don't know if you took the same principles that your mama and your grandmamma gave you in Monk's Corner and you bought it to Manhattan, New York. Because the brother I did meet on that elevator, I meant a brother that was full of principle, and I meant a brother who would not call a sister a donkey of a day unless he knew all the information and he could back up his statements.

But as we sit here and we did this interview, you begin to ask questions that you should have asked before you make the statement. So what questions? But y'all really don't have any answer. I have not justified why you feel like you should have gotten that money, should have got that we're not back. And here's the thing, brothers and sisters that get it the way that they get it, and we get it the way that we get it. And it's not an argument. I respect your decision.

I respect your no no, because you're entitled to it. Okay, well, thank you for joining us, miss Monique. When we come back, we have donkey of the day, So don't go anywhere. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, you get day you are, I'm gonna fatten all that around your They want this man to Doden Blowers man. They waited for Charlemagne. They had to make a judgment who was gonna be on the donkey of the day. They chose you because the breakfast club bitch, who's donkey of the day to day?

Yeah talk here to day goes to a young man named Fine Trelle Antonio o'bates. Okay, he's thirty one years old and resides in Los Angeles via Memphis, and he's a rapper, a rapper that I never heard of until this weekend. And if the first time you are hearing about a person is because they're RECEI even dunk here today, just know that probably is never a good thing. Now. His rap name is nuke Bizzle. Bring any bells for you, envy? No anybody out there bumping that new nuke Bizzle drum

that's hot in your parts? Okay, Okay, well nuke Bizzle, ladies and gentlemen. It is just the latest in a long line of people who are going to jail for unemployment fraud this year. And now, I know we've been keeping track of all the COVID nineteen cases in America this year, but we also need to be keeping track of all the unemployment for aud cases that have been happening. Okay, See, this is what I don't understand about the folks that

are defraud people under the carezact. Y'all do realize what y'all doing is a crime? Right? This is not the blessing you've been praying for. All right? You know how we say everything happens for a reason, very true, But sometimes that reason is simply because you made a poor choice. And nuke Bizzle absolutely made a poor choice, a couple

poor choices. See. Nuke Bizzle was arrested after applying for more than one point two million in jobless benefits and using stolen identities in the scheme to fraudulently obtain unemployment insurance beneficial. Now, I'm gonna be honest with you. I have to applaud this man for aiming high. Give them a little round of applause, just a little bit. That's it. Stop stop, stop, Okay. See here's the thing. All of

you who have participated in unemployment fraud. You're going to jail. Okay, doesn't matter if you got one million to ten thousand, they're coming for you. I'm telling you, doesn't matter if you got that money and bought a Bentley or got that money and bought a single wide trailer. You're going to jail. They coming to lock your ass up at some point. So if you're going to take a penitentiary chance,

your might as well shoot for the moon. And that's what nuke Bissel did with this one point two million dollars that he applied for. Now, Nuke Bisile couldn't just be content with getting this money. No, oh, not in this era. Okay, in this era, to crime is an official until you get on social media and alert to fatis about it. Okay. FBI stands for Facebook, Instagram and because of you fools, y'all, y'all need for digital validation because are you fools? Incessant desire for lights and retweets?

Y'all make defends jobs so easy. Okay, But it wasn't just social media in the Internet that got Nu Bizzle jammed up. See Nu Bizzle, as I told y'all is a rapper. I repeat, nw Bizzle is a rapper. Let's go to CBSLA for the report. Police. The Department of Justice says a rapper who bragged in a music video about getting rich from an unemployment scam is now facing

federal charges. According to a criminal complaint, thirty one year old Fontrelle Antonio Baines exploited the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance provision of the Federal Coronavirus Act. He applied for more than one point two million dollars and jobless benefits, Federal officials say right now. He lives in Hollywood Hills, and in a video he bragged He's going to get stacks of these while holding up envelopes from edd. A second man in the video raps quote, you got to sell cocaine.

I just file a claim. If convicted, Dane's faces up to twenty two years in Federal present. Those are some bars. Yes, what God and Aaron McGruder have the same sense of humor. This is why we need the Boondocks back. But I often wonder if the Bondocks uh well, when the Boondocks comes back, how would they compete when the most absurd things that usually are reserved for storylines on the Bondocks

are actually happening in real life. Okay, this guy Nuke Bizzle applied for one point two million and unemployment benefits, blatant unemployment fraud, and then turned around and made a song about it. Yeah, it's a song called e ed d nw Bizzle feature. In fact, whither would you like to hear it? Hear how they got rich Oba to end up building a CPA. You got a Sycalcaine. I can defoul the claim rest comment straight to the flame

I'm doing. He said, you bugging no swater than you ain't eaty of these scales, And then that you heard about i'd be so heavy to certify. Get on the working out twenty fat clais it for a while while I trying my life, and I gotta admit it, I saw out a head in a minute. Really to tell me I can wait on it el for twenty Damn, did you hurt better than did it turn into a scale? I was just tucking the sale now that way, don't

urge you. Now, I kind of like this on like that too, I told I s I like that, So yeah, I kind of like this. Yeah, that's the problem, grown grown up, grown as adults who know better saying it like songs like this, girdri at work hand, what you say, Uncle Ruggets and our dre at work one more time, Uncle Ruggets for the people in the back, and our gdre at work hand. Kids. I'm so sorry. I am so sorry, kids. I'm so sorry that we made y'all believe you really had to be living the things you

rapped about. I wish more rappers told y'all that they were just performing and they was just trying to make some money. All right. There was a period in my life where I really wanted and loved when my rappers were doing the things they were talking about. But that was ignorant of me. Okay, if rappers actually did just thirty percent, just thirty percent of what they rapped about doing, they would all be in prison a debt. Okay, this new generation didn't get the memo that majority of these

rappers was all cat. Now they're busy trying to lead two lives, trying to serve two masters. They want to rap and live a life of crime, and when you try to do both, you end up like Nuke Bizzle okay, facing three federal charges and if convicted of all these charges, Baines Nuke Bizzle will face the statutory maximum sentence of twenty two years in federal prison. Y'all still like the song, so I don't happen to do it. This song is good, that New Bizzle. We're not gonna play guests? What race

this is? Please? Let me mind giving New Pizzle the biggest here he ha, he ha, You stupid mother? Are you dumb? Are they white? I have one question? Where is Fat Whizzle? If Fat Whizzle was featured on this song? Did Fat Whizz? Are you trying to get someone else arrested? Inquiring minds? Well, oh, I'm trying to get them arrested. For Get the song that's got over a million views on YouTube, and forget that one point two million dollars and uh and and unemployment fraud that they tried to get.

I'm trying to get them arrested. The rich off d D all right now and our fre at work. All right, well, thank you for that donkey of the day. How'd you get the song Fat Wizard? I don't know if fat wizard he's getting low right back? You got anything you want to say? Oh my goodness? All right, thank you for that stain it. Don't pop up now talking about they were talking about you on the Breakfast Club. Now you get low, stay low to lead all your social

media pages and everything. That's right, all right, We got more coming up next. We're a breakfast club the relationship advice, need personal advice, just need real advice. Call up man for asking morning. Everybody's DJ Envy Angela, Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. It's time for asking ye Hello, who's this? Yo? This cookie? Cookie cookie from out of Florida, Brown County. I know you're talking about as Charlomagne. I

don't know what you're talking about. What's up? All right? Cookie? What's good? What's your question for? Easy? Okay? My question is um, me and my husband we wrapped like we spit bars like we really got bars man, But we were up there in age. We've been spitting for a long time. We're thirty two and we're just wondering if we should keep trying. Are you any good? You want to hear me? Go yeah, go ahead, Let's let's hear something. Cookie, all right, you can't speak up with low key now.

You don't know me. Yeah, you may see me, but you can never beat me, and you can never beat me. In the hip pop paddle tune this you'll see me full better scadd or so if I have at the paddle, I swim through the river, meaning I could make it through whatever like them quivered any time I sit, Ryan said, your man, I know my highs. Cookie black time a man. I love the comedy rap y'all. You really made me laugh the comedy rappers dope, this is ask he ain't

ain't What do you think? Tell Cookie? A couple of things here? Have you made any type of progress with your career as a rapper? Um? I performed a couple of places. I mean I UM performed at a hard rock a while ago. Um it was big well at the time I was working there. But we feel like an employee time show and I won both times. I won both times though, Yeah, I performed at a few places, you know, locally and stuff like that. So it's like that He've been real cookie. Have you been going really

really hard to pursue your dream? Been trying? Yes? Um, you know, get knocked down the cup times. You know. We went to an event in Orlando and it was like, oh, you know, people not really check for older rappers right now. I'm like, yo, but I've been doing this for so long and it just so happened as some opportunities are coming out right now. You know where you can you know, this artist showcase and this artist showcase. And have you been recording music in the studio anywhere? Though? Yes, you

can go on the Instagram. Grew in the payment LLC man just tell her she sucks and to get a job. I just want to say, I don't I don't think that being in your thirties is a reason to not pursue your career as far as being an artist, if you're really great at it and if you go really

hard at it, you know what I'm saying. I think sometimes people want things to happen and they do a showcase here and there, but they're not going super hard because people who really want to be in this industry, have to really live, breathe sleep it like, do everything they can to make it happen. So that's why I was asking you, are you doing everything that you can? Have you been going really hard or is it something that you've been doing kind of you know, here and there,

but not really pursuing. Yeah, I've been trying to go hard. I've really been trying to abhorse. You know what. My age, Um, you know, I eventually had children and stuff like that, but um, I still I think I'm still got bars. I'm still ready to put in the workout tell me and saying I fuck no, I don't suck man. You do learn a trade, you know what I'm saying. Do you have a job there, you go get another one. I just don't want you to use agent as an excuse.

We know a artist right now that's putting out his first ever album. He's in his forties, you know what I'm saying. So I don't think that's ever good exactly. Even the white man in the room say, but he's good because you're talking about jail. Yeah good. So what I'm saying is you're saying I'm not good. Seven minutes out of this conversation. All right, well, listen, give everybody in your Instagram. Everybody, everybody is gonna weigh in and go and look at your music that you have posted

and let you know what they think. This is a great opportunity for you to get some feedback. That's right, Give them your Instagram because so people can go tell you the truth. Is it Crow Entertainment, g R either W entertainment, l L speed Man. I love you though, I love y'all. I listened to it every morning. I'm hurt right now though, Charlomagne. But it's so well I don't think you can judge it just based off of that no music, So you know he hasn't heard no music,

he just heard. What do you think of that freestyle you just heard from her view? What do you think of it? What you just heard from her? I was listening listening, y'allo. Foolish, Wasn't it? What you wonna waste her time for the next three or four years trying to bed I just had a day off day, okay, sure, Cookie the black Widow, all right, okay, okay, let's keep it going, ask ye eight hundred five eighty five one

on five one. If you need relationship if ice hit this up now, it's the breakfast Smokeal Morning had some real advice with Angela Ye. It's ask Ye holding. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the God. We are the breakfast club. We're in the middle of ask ye Hello, who's this misty? Yes? Hey, what's your question for you? Okay? So my question was like, what am I supposed to do? It's like my boyfriend, she's sneaking to watch porn. I

don't have a problem with him watching it. It's just getting weird that he's sneaking to watch it because he doesn't know whether or not you have a problem with it. Did you tell him, like, I know you're watching porn? It's fine. I mean we've had the discussion about it, like I have him like we have a problem with sex or something, but he's like, no, we don't have a problem with sex or anything. And it's like I'm

being open minded about stuff, but I don't know. He keeps asking for like three sing stuff like that or whatever too. Well, yeah, and you don't want to do it? Three cent? Where you do? Are you open to it? I'm okay? With it. I guess I've never done it. So well, obviously that's not gonna happen anytime soon because we are all quarantined and you know, so that's a whole other story. But first of all, maybe part of the fund for him watching porn is him sneaking to

do it. That's what is that not strange or like, is that normal? How'd you catch him? I'm just curious, how'd you catch him? Okay, we're supposed to have sex or whatever, but then I felt sweet. But then when I woke up, I'm like, okay, maybe I should go back to sweet because you are most finished. So oh when you when you woke up and you seen him on a computer, he was sitting there watching porn. He was on his phone and it was on you. That's the weirdest thing to me, Like like he was repose.

He didn't want to wake you up. I'm okay with him waking me up, though, but he didn't know that. Did you tell him next time waking me up? I'm you know, I'm fine, but I don't know. I just kind of like got up and went to the bathroom

because I'm like, this is weird. This's the second time I call him doing this, and I don't you know what it sounds like, y'all just need to have a conversation because you're not saying anything to him, and then he's not saying anything to you about it, and then now you do think it's weird, so he probably can sense that you think it's weird. So it's kind of

like a lack of communication. That's what's causing you, guys to not come together on this when you could just simply wake up and be like, oh, you're watching porn. What you're watching? Let me see? Okay, I guess, And you know what can be fun sometimes if you don't mind doing this is watching porn together. I mean, like, I'm not as experienced as he is sexually, and like recently he got me like this Tory thing and I'm just like, I'm not okay with these like traffic down

there because like robot or whatever. So I was like, I don't know, Well, maybe he is nervous to bring things up to you because he doesn't want you to think that he's weird. Okay, I'll try to have that conversation. I guess. I don't know, And I see it feels like you want to be more open minded about things and that, but you're right now, you're not in that place. Like you're uncertain about a lot of things. Like you said, you're not as experienced as he is, so you take

it slow. And I always tell people, don't do anything that you're not comfortable with. So if you truly are not comfortable with something, don't do it and let him know that you're not comfortable. And if there are things that you want to try, don't be ashamed to try them. So those are the two things that I would say when it comes to experimenting in the bedroom, Okay, because like,

I really like them. I've tried to have a part of this conversation before and then it went into this whole spiral conversation about like insecurity and all this extra drunk and I'm just like, what the is going on? Yeah, you never do something just to please the other person if you're not comfortable with it, because that does cause resentment sometimes and then that does tend to spiral out of control. But if in your mind you're like I would like to try this, then you should try it.

It's just and remember it's completely up to you. It's fine for you to not want to do a threesome. It's fine for you to not want to use that toy if you don't feel like it. But it's also fine for you to say, Okay, I'm down to experiment. Don't worry about other people's judgments of you. It is your body, your choice to do whatever you want. And even with those things like whenever I gave him the stuff I wanted to try, he just kept calling me

like a freakrow or whatever. And then I'm like, Okay, maybe I shouldn't tell him the stuff that I'm into if he thinks he's too outrageous. But then you, what do you what are you into? Yeah? Any wants to know what are you into? Curiousy? Oh gosh, Okay, So I kind of like the whole domps and this one thing like if we can switch rolls and stuff, and he's not okay with a lot of them, and I guess I grew up on the pill side of life, but I was kind of trying to see if he

will be okay with like, you know, pegging terribly. Oh yeah, okay, Now pegging is yeah, pegging might be a little serious. That's not light. You want to put him on a least to that covert. I mean, he put me on the weeks before. Okay, I'm gonna pass. I'll take the leash. I'll take the leash for okay. What I would recommend, Missy, though, is before you go straight to the peggang you have you ever put a finger there? Yes, that's the thing, got it got you? Okay, So so maybe that's something

you guys will graduate to eventually. Yeah, but that's my thing though. If he brings up the butt play but think it's weird, will be talking about it. I'm just like, what's going on? You know what. I'm a and missy, and I'm gonna be honest with you. A lot of times guys like to do things, but they don't like to discuss the things they like to do because they feel like it's weird. So you have to kind of just do it without dressing. Don't rate that man, but

I don't know that. But like, you can feel it out and start doing something and he might like it, but he doesn't want to discuss that he liked it. So obviously, if he doesn't want to do it, he'll let you know he doesn't want to do it. But if you just approach it and bring it and they like, hey, let's go in the heat of the moment, and he with it, then there you go. But sometimes having that discussion makes people feel a little weird. Okay, I'm gonna

have the hell um like golf conversation. I don't want to have you like first time at breakfast or whatever, but I'm trying to see how I can bring it up during the day or whatever, because I'm just like, yo, I'm okay with you waking me up for sex. You've done it before, like well he didn't know camp for sex, but like or whatever. So it's just like, yo, I feel like you gotta be fine. This is a great time to have these discussions while y'all learning the house

to get it. Ain't got nowhere else to go. We gotta get this quarantine over because y'all boards hell. Tell him, tell him he shook and ain't no such thing as half ass crooks, and by that, tell them stop letting, letting you put half your fingers ass and tell them you want all in nothing, all right, tell them grow up, definitely, Thank you guys. All right, missy, good luck. It's funny if you do stuff like that. You can't even Please don't give the young man no nicknames either, though you'll

be hitting him in about your peg. The Stallion can't call a wrong man peg the Stallion, what all right? Ask ye eight hundred five A five one oh five one to keep a lot? This to Breakfast Club, Good morning, whatever y'all is, dj MB Hey, I'm a gobody name of Charlomagne the Guy, and we just want to say happy holidays from all three of us, all three of y'all the Breakfast Club. Baby, ask Charlomagne a d J n V any pick it up, pick it up, it up. It's time to ask C and E morning. Everybody is

cj envy Angela yee, Charlomagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for ask C and E. Now Angela Ye is on vacation, so I asked C an E. All right, if you got relationship advice questions, or you just have questions about life in general, we can help you. Hello, who's this? All right? This is anonymous? Anonymous from the d all right brother, what's what's your question for C and E? Okay, I've been dating the a Spanish woman I'm actually African American and she's been

working with me. But she switched shifts after we dated for two years and knew each other for three and went to morning shift. I'm on night shift now. She found the friend that's actually her race, probably like three months ago. They went out of town, spent the weekend, had a great time. We still talk every day. She initiate the text. She texted me to call me one night crying. Her stomach was hurting. She still relies on me, but she don't want to see me outside of work.

So is there any test I couldn't get her back. Well, I'm just waiting for him to mess up further on. You said that she's of another race, So I'm you're black, right, I'm black. I'm the second guy she ever been with and the first black guy she ever been with besides her husband. Okay, yeah, she said I wasted her time because of her culture. They date for three or four months and they get married. We dated for two years and nothing happened. Okay, Well, you know I'm all full

black and brown relations. But my advice to you is get you a black back woman. You know what I'm saying, Get you a queen. You know, you know you did the Spanish thing. It didn't work out clearly, you know she's moved on. Um, I think it's time for you to move on. To get your assistance now, I would say, I would say, fine, somebody that you love, obviously you have feelings for her, and you know why didn't you marry her? Why? Why didn't you just say you know what?

This is something I want to do well at black women far as like marriage, but I do have black women trained. Bye bye, bye, hang up. I want to talk. I don't want to talk to to the more. I don't talk to you. I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to talk to you anymore because you tell me you're not attracted to black women. You know what I'm saying, like black women are not good enough to marry? What color is your mama? You know what I'm saying, Like

what kind of household do you come from? I guess I could asking those questions, but I don't care. I don't care to have to come. I wanted I wanted to know. I wanted to know why, why would like why? Why was it deeply roooted it like his mother's black. Like, what's the problem that he doesn't have sisters? Grandma's answer, none of that. I don't I don't care for these selves. Hating the gross black women. I don't care. I don't care for black women to marry them. Get thee beat

it by Hello, who's this? Yeah? Whatever? See what's happening the man? What's up? Brother? What's your question for? Cne? Man? So check us? All right? So, um me and my baby mama. You know what I'm saying, the mother of my child, beautiful woman. As a man, you know what I'm saying. We all make mistakes, um boy, you know back of twenty back in twenty seventeen, you know, I made a mistake that you know cost me. You know a lot of the mistrust that she's happened over the

past few years. Um. But you know, as a man, you know, when you lost somebody, you're gonna do you got to do to make things work out right? Well, Uh, you know I've been doing that, you know, just kind of you know, doing the you know, the romantic things that a man should be, you know, buy her nice purses, take her out the nice dinners, do things like that, but Michael Cole, I no, no, Mike, No, Michael Cole

is my brother. It's more like more like, okay, okay, you know what I'm saying, so so you know what I'm saying, so you don't hand them up inness. You know what I'm saying. But you know, something kind of something kind of happened, you know. I guess like for everybody, you know, kind of things kind of like just turn

for the worst, you know. Uh, you know, I came home along one day from work and the doorlocks was changed, and uh, I thought that was my weird and I was like, yo, you know the doorlock has changed like this something more like you need to talk about something, and she basically was like acting like real like nahant,

like she don't know what I'm talking about? Yo, King, Get to the point, King, call is that is that I'm still paying for her rank while we're not together no more right, And it's to the point where I feel like it's it's it's in my best interest to move on. But I really love her. I bought a ring. I wanted to propose to her. We have two kids together. You're trying to make it work, but it seems like

everything that I do. When it comes to paying her bills, doing all of these nice things, it ain't really adding up. Let me let me tell you first of all, that's that's your first mistake. You can't buy somebody's love. You can't buy somebody's trusting. That's what you seem like you're trying to do. You're throwing money in there. You're buying bags, buying shoes. You probably said this in an argument while

I'm buying you everything you want. That doesn't work. To really get back into into her good graces, you have to prove that you're not that person anymore. It's not a man about buying anything. It's not about buying shoes or buying bags or taking out to dinner. It's redating and re establishing that trust, like the little things like you know, have conversations. Open up your phone to her to say, hey, look this is my phone code. I would you know, I would never jeopardize my relationship anymore.

Let her start having that trust in you. Does she have your code for your phone? Yeah? Absolutely? All right, Well those are the things that you need to do. Make sure she has the code to your Instagram. Let her know, let her be comfortable with you going out and feeling like I would never do this if you go out with your boys. Hey, baby, you want to come with me like make her feel comfortable. Let look, I'm not that person anymore. I made a mistake. I apologize,

I'm sorry. I'll do anything that I have to do to make sure that that you can start trusting me again. But it's not gonna start what you trying to buy love because when you try to buy love, exactly what happens is she realizes that you're doing it. She keeps accepting it and just using you for that, and you know she's still not whatever's to the point whatever, It's to the point where you're doing all of that, but um, it's to the point where it's like, you know, there's

really no romantis, you know, romantis saism in the whole situation. Man, she don't trust you because you're a Cheatah, bro, she don't trust you because you're a cheating You put yourself in that position. Okay, So the best apology is change behavior, so she'll grow trust for you when you show her that you ain't cheating no more. And I understand what it's talking about, but f all that buy her everything too, So change your behavior and ball out, all right, you

gotta do both. It's crazy. It's crazy though that happened in twenty seventeen. It's twenty twenty, right, And that's the problem too. What you gotta wreck because you're still cheating.
