Okay, nice, Yeah, Okay, she has a new project, so we'll kick it with her about all of the acts. And we got Frontage News

coming up. What we're talking about in front page News, Oh, cryptocurrency. We'll tell you which state actually has moved to embrace cryptocurrency and so, um, this is actually really a big deal. Okay, we'll get into all that and We're keep it locked, Breakfast Club, Good Morning, sit By Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy we are the let's get

into front page news. Last night, NBA eighty heat beat seventy six is one nineteen one oh three and the Suns beat the Mavericks one twenty nine one o nine. Both of those guys lead the series to nothing. Yeah, it's a wrap for the six is pretty much Joel mb should be back game three though, No, what else we got? Easy? All right? Well, the California Governor, Gavin Newsom has signed an executive order, and that is for state agencies to move in tandem with the federal government.

They're gonna be crafting regulations for digital currencies. California, by the way, has an economy larger than all but four countries, and that's where much of the world's technological innovation is born. In the first state to formally begin examining how to broadly adapt to cryptocurrency and all related innovations. So now it's going to be calling for officials to explore incorporating broader blockchain computer coding into the government operations. There's a

lot of opportunities there. There's a lot of unknowns in the industry also, and that's another reason they want to start engaging early. Obviously, Silicon valleys in California and that's where a lot of financial innovators like Paypalin Square are there, so they should be out front and figuring out how to adapt to new technologies. According to reports, about sixteen percent of US adults have invested in, traded, or use cryptocurrencies,

and the percentage is much higher among younger men. California has about thirty nine million residents and their economy is about three point one trillion dollars. That's a Snapple fact. I didn't know. I didn't know California had was your fourth largest economy and economy larger than all but four countries. Wow. So that's I mean, think about Casilicon Valley is there, so when you think about that alone, right, So I'm

just saying cryptocurrency is not going anywhere. I saw Rick Russ did this live where he was trying to say, show me how somebody who's made money from this, But I think he was talking more about the NFTs and stuff. He was asking for people that really made money on it to show it. I don't think you're talking with crypto, because I mean we could see crypto clearly, right. But there's definitely people have made money. There's people who were

I was reading a lot of different stories. The one person who was homeless and then they started selling NFTs and bought a home and now has a lot of money. It's just if you know properly. I agree, if you know how to use it properly. But I mean there's a lot of people. A lot of these things aren't going to appreciate with value. That's that's the whole thing. You just don't know what's going to appreciate with value

and what's not. So yes, people that sell it, I can sell you this is an NFT and you buy it for five hundred dollars, that don't mean it's worth I like the guy that bought the first tweet, Oh yes, how much what two point eight million? And they said it was worth No, but you said you would have never done that. But if somebody sells you, sells you on it, and it's like, oh, this is NFTs and they're gonna appreciate with value and you're gonna make money, and it's now it was a big thing at first

it's the first tweet, the first tweet ever sent. But you know, everything is a risk if you invest in the stock market, even real estate is a risk. You know, prices could go down. You don't know what can happen. So everything is calculated risk and you should never invest more than you can afford to lose. It's hard. I would not compare NFTs to realists now that sweet went down to what, yeah, one hundred dollars, one hundred dollars or something like that. In the real estate, ain't gonna

do that. I mean, I know people who have had their homes for clothes done because remember when everything was super expensive in real estate and then the price is leveled out, it was a housing bubble, and then first you still got to make small decision with REALI that's what I'm saying, the same thing. You know, you try to make a smart decision, but nothing is guaranteed. But when it comes to investing, nothing is still be worth. Something different, still be worth something that NFT don't have

to be worth. It could be worth. The problem with it's the value that I put on it, on the value that you put on something right, You know what I mean that the state is based on a comp stets in the in the area. Okay, so anyway, Live Nation is offering twenty five dollars tickets for over seventy five content and there's celebrating National Concert Week, so guys, you should look at that up. And that includes all

fees too. By the way, so the giving fantasy opportunity to attend over thirty seven hundred concerts in North America and it'll be all genres. So there's a lot of artists participating in this deal, like the Backstreet Boys, Machine Gun, Kelly with Khalifa, John Legend, Earthwind, and Fire. Um. There's a lot of different artists and that pre sale actually started yesterday. So if you can get your hands on tickets and off fees, that's great. All right, Well that

is your front page news. Wow. No, that's amazing because you said some artists that people will really love to see. Yeah, it's actually seventy five concerts you have to choose from, and those are some of the concerts, just a few of them. Cool, all right, get it off your chess eight eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent phone line to wide open again eight five eight five one on five one, get it off your chests and don't forget Lma will be joining us next hour.

Whether you're man or blast, so we better have the same intry we want to hear from you on the breakfast Club. Hello, Who's hey? I'm hey boy. Chas especialis how you and I want to talk about? Why did it assume that that man that that attack um Dave Chappelle was Dave.

I don't know he assumed that I am Yeah, he posted on depend tore him beat up and stuff on his Instagram and was like, I wonder what the LGBT community got to say about this and why did he assume that man was game? Why you or Dave? Dave assumed he was trans because it's a trans man him. I'm like, I'm like, man, I'm like, that's like me watching a straight man raise somebody or beat a woman uping in me to asking what does the stre think about now? I think, yeah, he said that was a

trans man. Yeah, And it's not the same if you if you had to think when you this, police officers do the first thing they want to know is the motive? Right? So when you look at a situation like that, you see the crime, what would be the motive? Who would have motive to do this to Dave Chappelle, people would think the LGBTQ community because of his comments. I don't be asking the whole community what we think about that, the whole stret community think about something. I don't care.

Well if you guys remember, well, all right, chav, we'll let you vent get it off your chest. I didn't even know that. I didn't know fifty and fifty might have asked about that because remember yesterday there was a rumor going around that the guy was a member of the LGBTQ community. Remember they posted somebody's Twitter and they said this was him. Yeah, well her, But Dave made the joke, and I think people, you know, with that joke,

they thought it was real. But yeah, do you remember that the trans community was protesting against a chapel because of his last special And there's the guy y. I don't know exactly he might fifty might know something we don't know. I don't know, but I know he had a song called Dave Chappelle, Hello, who's this big Chalcolate's two quick things and be good luck with your book. I checked out a little of it, and I'm proud of you.

was published. I have no idea, but it wasn't you know, nobody can say anything from no one. Y'all a top chan did it? Yeah, now we did, But we didn't do it for that. Like I said, we actually did it to help people. And if I tell you the amount of emails and dms of people that you know have open conversations in their relationships, that that was the reason why we did it. So I want to say thank you to everybody that went out and purchased the book or got the audible, or that still ordered the book.

It's it's really just just humbling and thank you. If you haven't got the book, definitely picking up Barns and Nobles, Amazon or whether you buy your books.

Hello? Who's this Mark? Mark is? Good morning? Good morning, good morning on Angela. Ye, I got a problem. My friend

he owned my best friend. He owns the flower shop in Houston did in Louisiana, and he get me flowers for free. But when I sitting flowers the women and they finally get to know me and find out I get them for free, they don't really appreciate it because I'm getting it for free? Is that cool? How did they know you're getting them for free? Why are you

telling them getting it for free? I know? But because they find out he's my best friend, later on they'd be like you said, I still pay for him exactly. You still pay for him. You don't pay your friends. No, it's my best friend. I've been helping them. You know his name Eddie. He does he does flowers like he done deep Bandoor, the Houston Flowers. He's done a little snoop funeral band funeral. His name is flowers by Pilsen. Yeah. My point is you don't have to tell people you're

not paying for the flowers. Nobody even know. I don't really tell him. It's just like when they they I don't know, man, it's like they put two and two together, and I don't believe that. I think you just think that from the heart. We'll start paying from the heart, start paying your friend and just because, start giving him some money every time you get flowers, just because absolutely. Yeah, I know right, I'm serious, And it shouldn't even matter. It's from the heart. It don't matter if I play

or not. Well, clearly it matters to you because you're calling us this morning to vent about and you don't have to tell nobody. And there's no reason that you even have a conversation if they ask you, did you get him from free? From your man? No, I pay for him. I support my friends. It's crazy man, you got other things come out, man like I say his own Facebook flowers by Philson, all right, book, all right man, Yes, sir, I feel like I feel like he just got a

bunch of more free flowers with that shout up. Absolutely get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one on five one that we got ruts on the way. Yes, and let's talk about Drake. I'll tell you about how he slid in this man's wife's DMS and why he plays a dirty game. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the break this Club. Good morning, the breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ MVY, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. Let's get to the room is

let's talk greg. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right, Well, Drake clapped back at a troll and this was on social media, and that's because this person said something about his child. Now, it was a post Team rant is approaching LaVar Ball levels of annoyance, and somebody said, these dudes are annoying. Some of the comments I've been seeing on multiple posts

talking down on Lavarte and Carltown senior. I don't think it's really up to the world to criticize how a positive father shows up in his son's life. Now, Jam commented, imagine your son makes the league and he's job or Mellow Orlonzo. All you can do is be elevating, competitive and oversupportive. And it's a write of passage to that. The ogs talk ish, I know I'm gonna be this way even if my son is in the Rubik's Cube competition.

And then somebody on Instagram commented to Drake, your son probably played with ghostwriters, and then Drake responded, I just followed your girl because she's probably miserable and needs some excitement in her life, and he really did follow her.

And then the woman Tony posted, my husband decides to be a troll, and now Drake thinking I need excitement in my life, and then he posted the husband oh nah, fool really DM my wife um, and then he put the laughing crying emoji, and Drake had written to her, I'm here for you, ma her. It's justified. You don't talk about people's kids like you get what you earned. You earned it, Yeah, he did, Drake, you played with my heart. I'm gonna play with Jels. Yeah, and I'm not.

What Drake said is absolutely positively right if you got kids that that do anything. That's why me and Chris Rock got into that time when my daughter was playing basketball, like we're a competitive as parents. You ain't slapped Crystal. No, I'm not gonna go that fall. He's gonna Ellen goes and we will clapped back at you on social media. Tell us nobody. But yeah, it is kind of when he plays football. I'm out there with the parents arguing

with the parents too. Yeah, it is strange to tell a parent not to be excited for their child, because that's essentially what you're saying, Like why you gotta be so overully excited for your child? Like, shut up? Then do you have kids? I'd like to know. Probably not, because if you did, you would understand. Oh yeah, all right. Now. Kat Williams is returning to Netflix with a new comedy special, World War Three, and that will be dropping May seventeenth.

That's really soon. So it'll be the second special to repair from him on that streaming service, after he dropped his Great American Special back in twenty eighteen. UM he's also the executive producer and the director for it, So congratulations to him on that. Okay, definitely tuning into that. Man, I wish I went to the Netflix as a joke festival that actually ends May eighth, that's been going on since April twenty eighth. That's where we just saw Dave

Chappelle get attacked on stage. All right. Keisha Cole had to go to the er after suffering anxiety attacks. She said, I'm so proud of getting a few hours sleep. Literally have been getting none, so not okay smh, and have been having the worst anxiety attacks where I can literally feel my heart hurting. Had to take my ass to the emergency room. They gave me dann medicine for anxiety. I don't know what the f was happening to me. Salukisha Cole sending her healing energy that she loves her mom,

her father, and her dog. You know. Her mother died of an accidental overdose on her birthday on July eighteen, twenty twenty one. Then after that, her adopted father, Leon Cole, passed away due to COVID complications, and then her dog Lola, who was fourteen years old, was her best friend for the past fourteen years. Passed away last year as well,

on December first. Well, yeah, I mean, that's the worst feeling in the world when you're having that anxiety attack and you feel like you're having a heart attack and it just comes out of nowhere. And when you go to the doctor and they tell you that your heart is fine, you're like, what how that's the that's the terrible feeling. So Saluda Kishia Cole definitely sending her healing energy.

All right. Teneyako has been named the mental health is Health Month and acid in Los Angeles, you know, it's Mental health Awareness Month. And here is what she had to say. I didn't know about therapy. I didn't know about a lot about mental illness, or depression or anxiety. And I just found that turning my pain and suffering into some form of art, transform and get into art

really helped me get through it. And so when I started to share that music and poetry with others and saw the response, the reason why I do what I do is to help others get through what they're going through. So her writing and doing music is her personal therapy to help her get through things. Best investments you could have been making yourself is investing in your mental wealth therapy,

you know, sacred purpose coaches. Just going on a journey of healing is absolutely the best investment you can make. All right now, Sissa in the meantime, has deleted her TikTok for Mental Health Awareness Month. She announced, I deleted my TikTok for mental Health the Awareness month. I encourage everyone to delete anything, anyone and everything that doesn't serve you. Bless just that simple m We all be in verbally abusive relationships with a small phones for no damn reason.

All right, and the Island Boys it may have an opportunity to fight on a boxing reality show called Ultimate Social Boxing. They'll pit thirty two social media stars against one another as they attempt to fight their way to the top, and the winner will get one million dollars. Of course, they blew up after we heard this song I'm an island boy because I'm an island boy and I've been trying to me. Oh, I'm an island bo. I'm a just island boy. I'm a just island boy.

You're keep that gun. And you know they've been boxing. If you see what they've been up to, they've been boxing a ladder over the past year and showing off their skills on social media doing all of that, soil one n have to fight each other then, right, because I don't know about that, because because if they get to the top together, but they probably split them up. Hey, I'm not a gambling man, but if I was, I would absolutely, positively, one hundred percent bet against them loose

in the first first couple of fights. Okay, absolutely the fighting. Nope, it does not bet against them. I would bet against them. Some of the people like, is it, Oh, we don't know yet. They haven't locked in their names yet, but you know, um, it's actually Robed Ellen, the brother of Entourage creator Doug Ellen, that is the founder of Live One that's going to be doing these boxing events. So it's like a town island boys a town. He just made that up. They just started stars star is heard

from social media social media star. Okay, so I think who else will be remember a time was on a treadmill? Yeah, yeah, you're working out all right, Well that is your room of report. Who else would be in in that category? And there's a lot of social media stars. Now what about what's his name? Jj oh y'all? Social media stars have definitely it's way more than the ice JJ fishes in the Eight Times of the World. I'm just saying, but that would be good to watch. I would watch that.

I would definitely watch that. All right, Front Days News next will be talking about all right, well, the owner of Turbo tax into it has to pay one hundred and forty one million dollars to customers who they unfairly charged. We'll tell you about that, all right, we'll get into that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club co Morning. So Breakfast Club, your morning's will never be the same. Angela year here from

Call eight hundred General or visit the General dot com to find out more. The General Auto Insurance Services, Inc. An insurance agency in Nashville, Tennessee. Some restrictions apply. Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news.

The Last Night Heat Meet the seventy six one nineteen one oh three, The Suns beat the Mavericks one twenty nine one oh nine, Look like James Harden gonna make that little baby Chris Brown to when the first date is up? What's the first date? Shut up, man, James gonna beat there all right? Into it. They're the company that owns Turbo Tax. They have agreed to pay one hundred and forty one million dollars in restitution to four point four million low income customers they were charged for

using the Turbo Tax Free Addition. According to an announcement on Wednesdays. On Wednesday, these customers should have gotten the tax filing services for free, and so people will be getting about thirty dollars each year that they used the software. So they had two free versions of Turbo Tax. One was through the IRS Free File Program that lets low income Americans file their taxes for free. And then they had another version, the Turbo Tax Free Addition that they

marketed as free. But it's only free for taxpayers with simple returns as defined by into It. According to the announcement, if you don't have a simple return, you had to upgrade to a paid version and of the tax service. But those individuals, however, may have been eligible for the IRS Free File Program, So that's why before how do they break that down it's going to be thirty dollars per year per person that actually deserves restitution for having

to pay for services that should have been free. Thirty dollars per year per person. Yeah, so a lot of people use it, clearly. So it's about four point four million customers that actually use the free edition during the tax chairs of twenty sixteen through twenty eighteen, so they were eligible for it to be free to file for free,

but instead they were charged. All right, Now, a four day controversial event that offers unlimited sex and alcohol is back, and it's been almost a year since it returned following the COVID lockdown. It's organized by the Good Girl Company. So basically it's at a Las Vegas resort and you get unlimited sex without a condom and all kinds of sexual activities including strip, black jack, horseback riding, and a

holographic concert. And according to the event company, they said, we're a company dedicated exclusively to entertainment for men, but it is a couple friendly and you can definitely come with your husband, boyfriend, or a partner. So the way that they do this erotic show, they sell fifty tickets for fifty guests each ticket includes an unlimited amount of sex during the four day trip. You have to pay

five thousand dollars. They said, all the girls are STD free, they offer on site and immediate HIV and STD testing if required, and so some people said that they've done it previously and they thought it was an amazing experience. One person said he did it for his private bachelor party for him and his friends. Another person said visiting Sex Island has brought back that sparked me and my

wife were missing in our relationship. Another person said everyone was so sweet, but clearly a lot of people are disgusted by it and call it creepy and disgusting. It's STD free, but what if it's by OSTD. What if people bring their own STD to the function? Let's the test everybody for they get there? Yeah, they said, the girls are all tested and they also have testing on some of the people that are coming to Yeah, you get testing tested. Yeah, and trust. That sounds nasty to me.

I mean, that's definitely not something I'm into. The people I'm sure they are. I mean, I mean it's a great, great promotional too, free sex. We'd un then an alcohol and sex without a condom. I just cannot believe that there are no STDs in the building whatsoever, not one. I refuse to believe it. If one person gets it, they might all get it. Well, hopefully they have COVID testing as well. All right, well, Alicia was function like that walk away sneezing and coffin. That's that's that's cool

A one. Oh my goodness. When we come back, Lama will be joining us. She has an album that's out tomorrow, so we're gonna kick it with Elma when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Come Morning, The Breakfast Club one O five one, The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the build. Yes, indeed, welcome back. Thank you for having me. A good morning. How are you?

I'm great? How are you? I am blessed, black and Hilly. I want to I want the real answer, though, you know, I want after the pandemic, I see it when I ask somebody how are they? I want to know how they really feel? Your energy? Like I'm really great? Okay, like dead serious, I'm actually really great. It's early, so I'm as great as can be in this hour of the morning. But yeah, I'm really great. How are you, I'm saying, Blessed Black and Hilly Favor. You recorded this

new album? Did you recorded here in the States or did you record it in London? I did? I recorded it in the States. The two years of the pandemic, I wasn't able to go home. I wasn't able to go back to London. Yeah, yeah, because I was in the process of getting my green card, so if I would have left, I wouldn't have been able to get back in. So I didn't see my family for two years. Wow. Um,

and I was recording the album. Yeah. But it helped me really focused because I couldn't move obviously, so um yeah. Psychologically How it was that though, because I mean, you know that time, that was the time with none of them knew what they expect. We never had experienced that, So you want to be around your circle. How was that to be able to go home? Um? To be fair, it wasn't as hard as I think it seems for me personally, Like I've I've been away from my family

for quite a while, but I'm used to going home normally. Um, but I feel like with the team that I have around me, they feel like my family. So it wasn't as hard as opposed to like me being in LA by myself and not having anyone. I feel like that would have been super hard. Um, but I had I still had great people around me, so and I feel like FaceTime mixed everything a lot easier because you don't feel as far or disconnected. So it wasn't super super hard.

I definitely did have moments where I was like, damn, I really wish I could like see my mum, see my brother, see my grandma, But once we did finally see each other, like the reunion was amazing and so got all right, Now, let's talk about the evolution. That's what they're saying. This project is an evolution, the difference between the last project. In this project, you talk about

that a little bit. Um. When I was recording my debut album, I was like twenty one, twenty two, put it out when I was twenty three, almost twenty four. I'm twenty seven now, so it's been a while. It's been four years, and I you know, I toured for the whole of twenty nineteen and twenty twenty was supposed to be the recording year for me anyway, so that didn't really change much. But with the pandemic, everything was

so stopped. Start, I like really found it hard to find a rhythm at first, but once I found it and like really kind of like prepared myself for what I wanted to say and what I wanted to sound like, and just the experiences I think of being, Like the difference between being a twenty three year old women and being a twenty seven year old woman, if there's like a big difference, and everything that I like experienced in my career, I feel like just kind of gave me

a clear review on like who I am as an artist as opposed to when I was recording my debut album and really kind of like trying to figure it out. Would you tap into the name of the album is Hard on my Sleep? Yes, So so what did you tap into the start Wearing your Heart on your sleep? They said you were in a relationship during that time. I don't know if you still are, but they said you were in a relationship. Yeah, I think it was

really just my life in real time. I think with my debut album, it was a lot of like I said, figuring out and like it was personal, but it wasn't as personal as this project. Like I was really really invested in this project, and I just I'm a Scorpio, so we're like we have really hard exteriors, but on the inside, we're really passionate. We're really like intense people, and when we care, we really care a lot. And I felt like in situations that I'm in, I do

wear my heart on my sleeve. So that was the perfect album title for me. Honestly, I was. It's just way more honest and emotional. I would say, then my debut album. How did you decide what you were going to put in there? Like was there something about your relationship you said I'm gonna put this in there, but I'm not gonna put this in about it? Or did you say, you know what, everything's on the table, I'm gonna be an open book. How did you decide um?

I don't think it was a conscious effort to be like, Okay, cool, I need to write about this, and I need to write about this, and I write about this. It was really just like what I was feeling on the day, and then whatever came out came out and then I made almost eighty songs in this album process and we narrow it down to fifteen. So that process was a lot harder when like trying to figure out what to put in. But like as opposed to recording, I was just going in and really saying what was what was

on my heart. And I don't think there was anything that I was trying to hide. Um, I wasn't. It wasn't like a bad situation. I'm super grateful for it. So like it was just I was just recording whatever I felt, what was on my heart. Yeah, but you're saying a lot by putting out the first single car don't me up? So either clearly somebody are you just giving them before you telling this new person don't? Yeah,

I think I think it's Uh. I think it's more so just like being in a situation where you understand how like how deep and how invested you are and if it does go left, because anything can happen, you never know. Um, it's like that's that's a scary feeling. So it's really me saying like, don't don't let me down, Like we we know where we are, we know where it can go on both ends of the spectrum positive and negative, and I feel like this is what we spoke about last time I was here too, like taking

the good with the bad um. So yeah, it's really just more of like, ah no, I wouldn't even say a warning because people are gonna do what they want to do regardless, but more so just me saying like, Okay, I'm here, I'm invested, and I just don't want you to let me down. So you have that conversation when you're dating somebody, like when you first start off and be like, look me up immediately. I wouldn't. I don't know if I would say I don't know how I would say. I don't know if I would say, like,

don't poke me up. But I would definitely be like, look, this is what it is like. I'm I'm very open, I feel like in relationships, so I would just be like, I have obviously certain expectations for the person that i'm with it as as they should have the same for me, you know, like it's reciprocated, and I'm just kind of like, look, i'm here, so don't let me expectations. What are the expectations that Lamy has? Just I think emotional intelligence, these

days is not at an all time higher. I said that. I literally said that this war really, I said, emotional intelligence is an all time long. I said that verbatim. Yeah, it's not, it's it's we're in a weird space. I feel like, um, and I like to think of myself as someone who is emotionally intelligent. Still working on it, obviously, but so I think I'm very in tune with my emotions and not a lot of people that have come across are, so I think really just kind of I

don't know, it's tricky. Definitely reciprocate energy, like I need back what I'm giving to you one hundred percent, and I'm not really trying to force any situation at this point in my life. I feel like when I was younger, I was saying to my friends the other day, actually, like when you're younger, there's a lot of stuff that you don't actually care about. It's just like, oh, I'm in this relationship and I'm selling love and blah blah blah, and like all of the other stuff is just minimal

and you don't pay attention to it. But when you get a little bit older and you realize, like what you will and won't put up with things start to

get like a little bit more serious. So I think definitely reciprocate energy would be one communication communication, but also understanding because communication everyone says like communication is key, but like if we're communicating but we're not, Like we can communicate and we can have a conversation, but it doesn't mean we're understanding each other, you know what I mean. So like if I had to pick two of the top, I'd say reciprocate energy and communication. I don't understanding. I

don't even know this generation. And when I say generation, I don't even mean an aged thing. I just don't know if this generation of laptops and smartphones even knows how to really communicate, because you know, you got to be able to look somebody in the eye, talk, read body language, knowing somebody's being sarcastic, knowing somebody's joking. Like

I don't know people really not to communicate no more. Yeah, And I think, to be honest, I feel like the pandemic made it a little bit worse, but obviously no one's fault. But because everyone was in the house for so long, like behind your phone or behind your computer, or even like being able to work remotely, like not having to actually physically interact with people. It like when when it was time to go back outside, it was

almost like a little bit uncomfortable. And I'm not socially awkward that or I'm quite an outgoing person, but even I felt myself like, oh, like, I haven't done this in a while. Let me like kind of readjust like humans. Yeah, I know, it's so weird that we've done this our whole life. Yeah, and then two years go by of it not happening, and then it's like, oh, this is this is kind of weird U. So yeah, I just want to be able to communicate with understanding and have

reciprocated energy. All Right, we got more with Lama when we come back. Let's get into a single d from you. It's the Breakfast Club, Good Morning. That was Dulma. Her album comes out tomorrow morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Lama. Charlie, do you feel pressured, uh to to to get another boot up? You know what I knew he wasna, I knew he was gonna ask me

this question. They were they were. I don't feel pressure and I'm sort of labels like we want another boot Up. I mean, I'm sure I would. I would love to have another boot Up, I guess in the in terms of what it did. Yeah, but like, and I think I think this is another thing that we spoke about last time too, Like I understand what I'm capable of. Um, and I'm not putting pressure on myself to say if i don't have a boot Up on this album, then

I'm not successful. Like boot Up was quite an anomaly honestly, Um, and Trip obviously being the follow up, was was amazing. And I think whatever happens with this album or even in my career, um, we can never take away what

boot Up did. And I'm sure I have I'm sure I have many more honestly, Um, they just won't look like boot Up maybe, But that doesn't mean, you know, success is relative, Like, Yeah, I wonder out the label reacts to that, because you could make a great body of work, which I'm sure it is a great body of work. Within it's just like, okay, well where is the bull up? You know? That's weird. I feel like

I feel like with with streaming and with the Internet. Obviously, labels want to make their money, so that's like, of course, but I feel like it's not as like I feel like hit records quote unquote aren't the driving force anymore because something can become a hit that like nobody knew about, like boot Up. Boot Up was up for a year before we before anything happened. Um, I haven't had anyone specifically say to me, where's the boot up, where's the trip?

There's nothing on here whatever. I have like a great relationship with my label luckily. Um, and I think everyone's just super excited to hear the difference because there's it's still me, but it's like, like you said, it's like an elevated version and we'll see what comes from it. It's like, yeah, how how vulnerable do you want to be in music? Because you know, when you listen to R and B music, the best R and B music most of the times is when people are spilling their

soul and spilling their guts. Yeah, so leads I dug quite deep. I will say in this album it was quite hard at times because I was like, like we were talking about earlier, I was like, you know, like this is this is definitely a different side of me, because I'm quite reserved. As everyone knows, people don't really know much about me, so I definitely feel like I gave way more of myself to this album. But I

felt like it was right. Like I said, it was what was on my heart and it was what I wanted to say, And all of the music that I grew up listening to was like super honest and super raw, and I was just like, like, why wouldn't I This is what I'm going through, this is what I want to speak about. So was there any record that you said, maybe we shouldn't put this one, it's just a little

too vulnerable. No, there's like a super super vulnerable ballad on there um that I definitely thought twice about, but not in terms of putting it on. The album is called Hide. Um. Just I was just like, Okay, this is quite different, and I think people would definitely be surprised. But um, I love the song and I love exactly how it makes me feel. It takes me back to

like that time how I felt when I recorded it. Yeah, we don't know your dating situation, but do you ever have to go back and say, let me call this person let them know what I'm singing about, so they just won't be surprised when they hit a record. No, No, I don't like I'm not on their dragging someone. Um No, I don't. I don't feel like uh, I don't feel

like it was it was necessary. I think all of um, you know, I'm a lover girl, and and a lot of the album is they are love songs, um and yeah, I don't think it will be a surprise at all. You have a song called not Another Love Song? Did Not Another Love Song? Is really just it's kind of a play on the fact that I make love songs, and it's just like, okay, cool, it's made another love

song because it really is another love song. Um. And it's really just about like being at the stage of like where you're falling in love and you want to tell the person, but you don't know if it's too soon or if you're going to mess it up, or if they feel the same way. Um. And I feel like I've been in that situation quite a lot, and I just love The beat is produced by Boy Wonder, Johann Sweet and the Rascal h Yes it's my guy. Yes. So it was just a really fun, fun record to

make you. Alan of the songs are very direct, especially with the titles like break my Heart, Leave You Alone, Sink or Swim. Those are very like direct, like what what was the meaning behind all of those? You just wanted to let let them know, this is exactly what I'm feeling. Yeah, And and really like, honestly and truly that really is just me. I'm a very like black

and white person. As I've got older, I've realized that there's a lot more gray area in life as I've always seen it as very it's this way or it's that way, or it's no way. Um. And obviously I understand now that is not how life works. But I'm quite a direct person, and I think when I'm feeling something, like I said earlier, I'm going to tell you how I feel, regardless of whether I feel like with not another love song, regardless of whether I feel um you

feel the same way or not. I'm just like, what do I have to lose? I mean, you know that it was room was that you were a borst in Celtics fear. Oh really, yes, they said that to a borsting Celtics fan and possibly dating a Boston Celtics. Is that. I want to know where you got that from doing Google? It's really yes, No, I'm a basketball fan, definitely. I'm definitely a basketball fan. But you got a bonus track on the album called Celtic Pride. I definitely don't. There's

fifteen songs, do I have? No, I don't know. You know, I'm not one to talk about my date in life, but I didn't actually know that. When you type that in Google, that comes up. I don't google myself. You know, you drive yourself crazy. Yeah, I feel like that's very dangerous territory. So I'm like, I'll just I'll just stay away from Google. I like what you told complex too. You said people get to confuse like a strong woman can't be vulnerable, and that narrative doesn't correlate for you

at all. What made you come into that conclusion? Um just life like life lessons. I feel like being emotional is I feel like there's a negative connotation to the word emotional, and people think that's like a negative thing, but I don't necessarily think it's a negative thing. Like I feel like like we were saying emotional intelligence, like

that's quite hard to obtain about. I think you have to be a certain kind of person to put your feelings on the line or like be emotionally intelligent, especially if you're dealing with someone that you feel like isn't super emotional. And being a strong woman, I feel like you have to come across as this like nothing will break me, and that's not necessarily the case. That doesn't.

Something will break you. We're human, whether you're a man or a woman, and I think just kind of really just trying to control the narrative and show that they are all different sides of a strong woman. It doesn't just necessarily mean that it doesn't matter what you throw at me, I'm not going to break. I might, but I'll pick myself back up. And that's really that's really how I feel about it. What's the biggest take of

where you want people to get from this album? Honesty? Yeah, honesty, and like like I said, I feel like I dug a little bit deeper and I think people will know me a little bit more by listening to this album. But yeah, just really really really just honesty and just what I've been through in the last four years. I know it's been a while. Everyone's like, where have you been do you still make music. I'm like, yeah, I've

been working on the music. But you know me, I'm like, I'd rather duck off in my corner and make my music and come back when I know it's ready. I'm definitely like a quality over quantity type of person. So I respect that because we live in this microwavable era, Like people get mad at somebody like a Kindrick when they go away. It's like, that's what you're supposed to do. That's how albums used to be. You put out a great body of work and people you make people. Wait, wait,

so are you talking about me personally? Are you talking about anyone in general? Because you said great body of work. Last time I was here, you said sounds like a playlist to me, and I was like, but the playlist is good because that's what you put together. Listen to me. But even taking that time, the weight is dope. Yeah, no, thank you to go cook something up that really means something. Yeah.

I feel like, especially like you said, we live in a world that's like we're super oversaturated with just everything gets thrown at us. There's so much information to take in on a daily It's like, how do we even actually function when you really think about it. And I just remember when I was growing up, I used to be like hungry for Beyonce or Destiny's Child to drop a new album or you know, like they're especially in R and B music, Like it's very different to rap music.

And I think people kind of forget that because we live in a streaming era and we just like our attention spans are very very short nowadays, and there's also so much to listen to, so I think people feel like it will you, like you can get forgotten easily. Um, But I think if you if you take your time and you work on something that is quality, when you come back, it doesn't matter whether you've been gone for two years or whether you've been gone for five or six,

ten whatever. I think the music will speak for itself if it's if it's good enough. We got oh Lma, when we come back, nont move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angelo Yee, Charlomagne the Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking

it with lam. You know, when you hear other artists that your competitive natures that make you want to put out a song like when you hear a new R and B song and be like, damn, I want to get back out there, or when you hear the songs and the Grammys or this music give you that competitive drive, I wouldn't necessarily say it as a competitive drive, so I feel like that makes it seem negative, almost beative. No, competely,

I don't think so. I don't know, because you know how you know, you know how things can get like misconstrued very easily. But I think inspirational, yeah, definitely. But I also like I loved I love the place, and I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I love the place that R and B isn't like female and male, and no it's not nineties R and B. But like I always say, I feel like R and B is the one genre that like is. The narrative is always like, why can't we go back to ninet's

R and B? And I don't feel like any other genre ever gets that. I don't feel like anyone else us to go back to the sixties or the eighties or in any other genre. And I think just the way R and B music is made these days, even just equipment wise, it it's never going to be the same. Everything sounds a lot cleaner than it did back then, just because of technology, and I think that's something that's not even that people aren't even aware of. But yeah, I love the space that that R and B is

in and I was really happy. I'm really happy to watch, like you know, award shows and performances or see other R and B artists flourishing. It's amazing and I think when my time is here, it will be here. I don't I don't feel like it's like, oh, I need to put something out now because somebody else is taken off. Like, No, that's space for all of us. That's unfairly y'all generation too, because most of the people that're saying let's go back to nineties R and B grew up in that era.

So it's always experiences attached to music, Right that first time you went to prom, that first girl you kids, that that dance on the floor in high school? What's your what song? Sorry to cut you off? What song reminds you of the first girl you kids? Um a Leah four page letter because I had that, No, well that too, but I had that on a ninety minute to set tape. Oh, wow, And I had that one song playing for ninety minutes, and like I've been, I've been over and over and over, and me and my

wife's been together for twenty four years. So when we was young, that was that song. Yeah, so that's the Leah four page letter boy. But I was also gonna say though, you know, back in nineties and two thousands, R and B played more on the radio. It was part of really Yeah, absolutely if it's so they try to do urban ac like and all the rappers singing too. Yeah, so when you got all the rappers singing, it kind of haves up the playlists on the radio. Yeah, for

the real R and B singer. Yeah, it's definitely. It's definitely way way different nowadays. But I do think that I try to put you out on the old stations go urban act because it's it's dope music. But it's still I'm I listen, I'm appreciate. I'm appreciative for anywhere that that they put me. No, I could be nowhere, so like, I'm appreciative, and I feel like there's still an audience regardless. But yeah, I think it's I think

it's just different. It's just a different time. That we're in And I do feel like though that a lot of us that make R and B music these days are really inspired, like you were saying, or grew up on nineties R and B, So I do feel like

you can hear inspiration in it. It might not be exactly the same um, but for the generation that is growing up right now and in twenty years, when they look back this, you know, our music, not even just R and B music, but wrap anything, rock, country, anything, this will be the music that feels nostalgic to them because this is what they grew up on. So I feel like we just have to just let it live. Just you don't have to listen, you know, you know

what I mean? Like I feel like if I've always find it weird that like people online, I'm just not the type of person, even before I was famous or anything, if I don't like something, I'll keeps grolling, Like I'm not going to sit there and be like, well, this is not what I grew up on, you know what I mean? I think I think that's just I think that's a weird behavior. But I do understand. I do understand. It's the internet, so you twenty seven, So he was

born in the late nineteen hundreds. Were we were born like mid nineteen You were not born in the mid nineteen What year that's closer to them that fifty Still it feels like midnight y. I guess you're you're right in the middle. Yeah, yeah, you're right in the middle of the mid nineteen hundreds, and you closed to the two. I just want to ninety four? So what what was what nineties R and B would you consider like your error? Um? Well, The Miseducation of Lauren Hill is my favorite album, okay, um,

and that actually came out in ninety four. I want to say if I'm naughty for if I'm not mistaken a little later like ninety eight. It No, I don't know, ye like ninety eight. The only reason I remember that just because, like when my mom was going through a divorce, she used to play Damn X Factor over and over. You know, you're spilling all of your mom's table, right, I mean, I did have rolled the book about it, but you know, I mean, I mean, like we talk

about memories connected the songs. I used to think that song was I was like, oh, mom, so cool. She wasn't in Laura Hill, but then I got older, you realized she was going through the things. You know what I mean, what year does it say? Okay, that was a good year for everything. Well, my mom used to listen to The mis Education of Lauren Hill religiously. So I feel like that's a good question. I would love to know. But she she loved the album and she

had the tape that went into the car. I remember, Yeah, into the car. I was one to night for a guy used to take tape. Yeah, they had cassette they had and then you could take it. Okay, okay, I was just like you take the radio out so nobody would steal it. Like I still I still have a little bit of I feel like the timing that I grew up in was really like the club that so no one can drive away. Yeah, yeah, I knew that. Yeah that was awful guys like me back then. I

feel like I grew up in the time. I feel like I grew up in the time where I understand like dial up internet and like you couldn't be on the phone and the Internet at the same time. Yes, but then I also grew up in this in the social media age, Like I'm right, I feel like I'm right in the middle. Um, so yeah, I forgot, Sorry, I forgot. I was just asking, why do you like music? What music I like? Sorry? What music I like? Yeah?

So Miss Education of Lauren Hill is definitely my favorite, but I would say all of Brandy, Mariah, Kerry Desney's child, Beyonce, all of that stuff. At Leash Keys, Mary J. Blige is one of my fave FA faves um and then even early two thousands, R and B like I feel like when B two K were popping and like that type of thing. And that was when I first moved to New York. So I remember going to like Madison

Square Garden Scream Tour. Wow, Like yeah it was. I was in my house of derry on jeans, like it was. Definitely it was like that. Those are the that's the stuff that makes me excited when I think about it. Who who was on your amount Rushmore R and B artist, Oh, there's four people on Mount Rushmore, right, So I definitely have to put Lauren Hill there, even though I know she is both she's yeah, she um, but she she

has to be there. Mary has to be there. Yes, don't mean actually Lauren Hill over even though she only put out one album. Yeah, okay, yeah, I stick by Uh. I'd put Stevie Wonder there because I know everyone people might not necessarily classify him as just an R and B artist. I feel like there's there's a lot of different drumming is that he tapped into. But I think

he definitely has to be there. And can we like split the face so I can have two if they're in a group, if they if they're group, No, can we do that without Casson? For sure? I think she deserves to be there, but I also feel like Maria Kerrey deserves to be there too. I gotta pick one. I don't like that split. I don't like Beyonce and Mariah split together. They both deserve their own individual which is why I asked it. But you told me I could only pick for I could sit here and list

one hundred people. Honestly, it's very hard. But now you're gonna make me pick between Maria Kare and Beyonce, and I'm not going to do that. I'm absolutely not gonna do. What does Mariah fall under traditional arm because she makes a lot of pop parties? Yeah, yeah, I think once you get I feel like once you get to a certain like a stage, you're just classified as a pop partist anyway, regardless of even if you tap into a

whole bunch of different genres. M Oh, but I didn't even put Brandy there because Brandy's like the vocal Bible. When it comes to R and B, I personally feel like harmonies and just like, I don't know, we're gonna have to We're gonna gonna have to create some more faces on this Mount Rushmore. Stevie Wonder is a great one. People sleep on Stevie Wonder like he's the last I think, the last of a dying breed, like like the last

great living musician. Yeah. I got to sing with him in two thousand and I think it was the ending of two thousand and eighteen. He does like this Christmas show. Um, and I got to sing. I sung boot Up and then I also sung Superstitious with him. And Yeah, it was like I just felt like, what, like, what is going on? I was really really happy. Yeah, it was. It was amazing. It was a way. How did that? How did that happen? Did he call you? He did? Yes,

he did, he did. He did call me. Um. My manager knows his daughter very well, and his daughter handles a lot of his like relations, so um, they did. Yeah, they called me and I was on the phone with him, and I remember I think I was in rehearsal and I was just like, my man, it was like someone's on the phone for you. So I'm like, because he never would really ever stop my rehearsals, I'm like losing the phone for me. He's like, just pick it up.

And I started speaking and I'm like hello, hello, and he's like, hey ella, this is Stevie Wonder and I'm like wait, hold on. I literally had to and I looked at my manager like are you is this a prank? Because I just I didn't believe it. And then yeah, I had a great conversation with him. He told me how much he loved booed up um and that he wanted me to sing, and then I went to rehearse with him for the show and then we did. Yeah, we did it. He brings out like a bunch of

different people at the Christmas show. It's like a charity for his foundation. So yeah, you know, he really be facedown with people. I believe it. Yeah, who was a cord A? It was somebody that it was no, yeah, and he jumped up. Yeah. He acted like he was. He acted like he was like I'm ready to work or something. No, I believe it. Yeah, hard on my sleeve out May six. That's right, and thank you for joining it. Thank you for having me. It's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning Reports club. Well, now there is more information on the person who attacked Dave Chappelle on stage at the Hollywood Bowl as he performed on Tuesday night. Now the man has been identified as twenty three year old Isaiah Lee, and they said he's an aspiring rapper. He goes by the name of No Name Trapper and he had a song back in twenty twenty that was actually called Dave Chappelle the joke Yo. It's pretty bad. According to reports, he lasted on a charge of assault with

a deadly weapon at the time of the attack. He did have a replica gun with a knife hidden inside. And he's still in jail with the bill said at thirty thousand dollars. Fortunately, is not injured in that incident. It was unexpected and according to Dave Chappelle's rep, Carla Sims, they had this to say in a statement. The performances by Chappelle at the Hollywood Bowl were epic and record breaking, and he refuses to allow last night's incident to overshadow

the magic of this historic moment. Dave Chappelle celebrated four nights to comedy and music, setting record breaking sales for a comedian at the Hollywood Bowl. This run ties Chappelle with Monty Python for the most headline shows by any comedian at the Hollywood Bowl, reaching seventy thousand fans of diverse backgrounds during the first Netflix as a joke the festival, and he refuses to allow last night's incident to overshadow the magic of this historic moment. Well, I love you

call it, but too bad it did. Okay, it just did. It's gonna be way more people talking about that because it actually is a great situation, right, and I'm gonna talk about it more during Donkey Today. But I love seeing people have to deal with the consequences of their actions. Don't you How did his arm get like that? I've never seen somebody with his arm like that, though his arm was like because one of the Dame's security guards

is that guy. That security guard will be online showing people on all those moves on how to defend yourself the Detroit dude. Yeah you know that. His arm was like, it looked like, yeah, two left arms the way. I loved it. I love seeing it. I love seeing people have to deal with to consequence their actions too. And he got jail time. His bills too low though, thirty thirty dollars. That's too low, all right, that's too lottle bill Well, they said he was dragged off the stage.

He was wearing a backpack and lucky he wasn't shot, would have been justified. I'm with it all right. Now. Ray J is talking about that sex tape of Kim Kardashian, and he did an interview with The Daily Mail where he talks about what really happened. He said, Kim Kardashian kept leaked sex tapes quote unquote leak in a Nike shoebox under her bed. And he says, after fourteen years in the shadows, he is going to finally speak out.

So he said, I've sat in the shadows, allowing the Kardashians to use my name, abuse my name, make billions of dollars, talking about a topic I've never really spoken about. He said that she has always been in possession of all the sex tapes that she made with Ray J. He has never owned any copies of them. They were never leaked, he said. It was a business partnership between him, Kim,

and Chris Jenner. And this is all because Kim Kardashian on her new Hulu show said that she was worried that he might have a tape, a tape that he would leak. So he said he was outraised that she had claimed on the show that he might have a tape show in him putting a dildo in her. But while she slept, he said, that makes me sound like

a rapist. So then he also revealed some text met or some DMS between the two of them where he actually addressed her about that, where she said, if you're upset about the dildo comment, it was clearly a sarcastic joke, and I was laughing when I said it. And by the way, since that tape was released in two thousand and seven, the sales for that have reached and estimated

one hundred million dollars worldwide. Well, I do know that if you have a celebrity sex tape and you try to sell it to someone like a Vivid, which without Draj and Kim tape, they have to have consent from everyone that's on the tape that I know, like I've seen a third party try to sell tape Di Vivian, and viv said he couldn't purchase it without consent of the people. All get sued and they have to take

it down now. Raj said, you know, he told the Daily Mail and the messages which he also gave to them, which we have as well. Kim did try to smooth things over, suggesting pr strategies to quote make me feel better. He said. I felt like this was her only chance to try and make this right. In the text, I demand her to call me immediately or I'm going to go and tell my story. So she responds immediately with all of these different plans and ideas that will make

me feel better. At the same time, you're telling the whole world that I'm a horrible person and I haven't spoken to you, and how could I do this to you. If you look at the DMS, you can see that she's continuing to try to keep me in a box. Only what you can do to make me feel better after they killed my name, only because she knows everything I'm saying is true. She never denied on those DMS anything that I've told her. He asked her, how do I explain my daughter this is a lie. If you're

worried about your family, what about my family? And he said he is expecting me percussions for speaking out and telling his side of the story, but he says he feels relieved to have finally given his side. He said, now that I'm a father, it kills my soul to think my daughter would have to go through life thinking her dad was something that he wasn't. You can't give me any money. You can't pay me back for my life.

You can't pay me for honesty and truth. You can't pay me any money or apologize to me for any of that. You have to be honest with yourself At this point, I don't need an apology. I have proof. This is wild man, This is Can you imagine mattering what you're selling your daughter's personal porn tape to make some money? Like? Is it that low? Is that family? That evil? And people? There was no way. Oh, you're acting like Kim wasn't grown at the time, act like

Kim was a child. So exactly it doesn't matter, but you're still selling your daughter's porn tape. I don't care if my daughter's fifty, but what if she wanted to that's still wild. Now, people with direct knowledge told TMZ that Chris Jenner didn't actually negotiate with Vivid Entertainment. But they're saying that ray J and Kim dealt with Vivid rectally and with their lawyers, So he does still maintain that Chris and Kim did come up with the whole plot to make and sell a sex tape because of

the enormous financial success of Paris Hilton sex tape. But they said Chris Jenner was hands off making the actual deal and did not contact Vivid. Once again, if you have a celebrity sex tape, when you try to sell it to someone like Vivid, they have to have consent from everybody that's on the tape. Now it's for money. They're saying that Kim and ray J split a one million dollars advance and together they got forty nine percent

of the profits from the tape. That translates to around forty nine million dollars because that tape did make a hundred million in sales. I want to they got royal. Do you get royalties from poor? They should? Right? Yeah, I mean I guess one hundred million in sales that is isn't that kind of royalties if they split? You know what I'm saying. I wonder if they got royalties off one hundred million. Yeah, they made forty nine million. Oh, that's what I'm saying. They got forty nine percent of

the profits. Kay. In addition to that one million dollar advance, they got forty nine million dollars. That porn tape is on every porn tape. No, I want to notice that change your perspective. Money man, As much money as you like to make, it does forty nine million dollars doesn't matter. That's still your daughter when they get to an age where they have kids. Your kids got to see that later on she was grown though, it's not like she was a kid. Not even just the money from that

tape that led to them. Really it's worth the money? Act like it's all right? Is that worth the money? People? It might be what I mean, what happened like what happened with what did they do? What did they do so wrong? Like what happened with their lives? When you say it wasn't worth it. Like what happened, I don't think it was worth it. There was no way I would have put it. I wouldn't want to pour on tape out there that my kids would see when they

would get older. It's kind of softcore. It's not like hardcore. No, it was hardcore. I don't know about that. All right, Well that is it was not hardcore. What do you consider the hardcore? It was a penis and might consider that hard That's why nobody else sees why. I mean no, because he was grown she definitely you say child, but now she wasn't a child at all. All right, Well that is your twenty something years old you're doing it'll be twenty five and that guy we got wouldn't do it.

But I'm saying she was twenty something years old. She made a decision as a grown woman and donkey of the day coming up next, her mom went along with it. I guess, all right, well, will you give me a donkey too? Isaially need to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a world with him, all right, we'll get to that. Next is to breakfast club for the morning. So breakfast Club your morning's will never be the same. ANGELA Ye here from my friends

at the General. Insurance switched to the General and you could save over five hundred dollars on your car insurance. Call eight hundred General or visit the General dot com to find out more. The General Auto Insurance Services, Inc. An insurance agency in Nashville, Tennessee se restrictions Maine say the gang don't get the shape man you are Nay. Donkey to day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of today, but I got to donkey that.

So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man the breakfast club bitch, please don't keep the day today? Yeah, don't here to day for Thursday. May feel goes to twenty three year old Isaiah Lee and

the security at the Hollywood Bowl. If you don't know who Isaiah Lee is, he is the man or should I say person, because I don't know what he identifies as who got pummeled Molly wapped got their whole block knocked off at the Hollywood Bowl because he was in the audience at Netflix as a joke and decided to rush the stage armed with a blade firing fate gun never even heard of such thing, and that is the reason the Hollywood Bowl is getting some of as biggest

he had, because how did Isaiah Lee get into the venue with a blade firing replica gun? More on that in a moment, but let's go to ABC seven for the report. Please. Her cellphone camera and the audience captures the moment. A man runs on stage at the Hollywood Bowl and tackles comedian Dave Chappelle. Chappelle falls back, but frees himself as security rushes on stage to grab the attacker.

Exclusive video from Air seven HD shows twenty three year old Isaiah Lee being rushed to a local hospital after the incident. Police say he was armed with a knife. I am going to kill him. Chappelle was not injured in the attack and later joked with the audience about it. Authorities now charging the twenty three year old with assault with a deadly weapon, and Lee's bow said at thirty thousand dollars. A security guard here at the holly Wood Bowl did tell me the weapon in question was actually

made out of plastic. Now police haven't confirmed that information, but it would explain how he was able to get it through the metal detectors. Now, Chris Rock made a joke after this washing happened. He said, was that Will Smith? Well, it wasn't because Will Smith would have been allowed to stay and nobody would have laid a finger on him. But seriously, these are much different circumstances than the Will

Smith situation. And if watching Will put hands on Chris Rocket the Oscars was traumatizing to some comedians Amy Schumill wand disikes, then this incident right here might make you consider retirement. Okay, see, we know why Will Smith was, you know, at the Oscars, We've know why Will reacted to way he did. Doesn't make any of it right, but we have some understanding. Okay, it was history between

Chris Rock and Will Smith. Will clearly snapped, he had enough of the jokes, and he reacted emotionally, and he made a terrible, terrible, terrible mistake and Chris Rock did not deserve that. But once again, we have an understanding of that situation, and that situation is only going to happen once in a generation. Okay, do you think we will ever see one of the biggest stars in Hollywood on his biggest night when he's going to win an Oscar walk on stage and slap another superstar to oscars?

Do you really think we will ever see that again? Probably not? Or what happened at the Hollywood Bowl could literally happen every night. Okay, some human for whatever reason decided to rush the stage and assault you. That could happen every night, Comedians. Trust me when I tell you it's a higher percentage you run into an Isaiah Elie before you run into a Will Smith. And based based off that, my first observation is, how does Isaiah Elige get into that venue with that blade firing knife? You

know how? I tell y'all all the time, we as humans are the first line of defense against crazy simply by our behavior. Every day we are trusting other humans to be able to control themselves, to be able to act right, to keep us safe. So when we these venues, when we need establishments, especially as a performer, I am trusting you the venue to keep crazy to a minimum. Okay, everyone should be searched properly. Why because we have to

make sure to keep everyone safe. Hollywood Bowl, y'all failed every single person in that venue, not just Dave Chappelle. Because if you can get in with a replica of a gun. You probably can get in with a real one. That man actually tackled Dave. What if he would have charged Dave with the knife drown I know we can all look back and say, I'm glad that didn't in horribly, but it could have all because of the negligence of the security at the venue. What if Dave would have

got stabbed in the stomach? But I got what if you'd got stabbed in the neck. If that would have happened, this conversation would have been totally different, and more people would be talking about the failure of the building. Now you heard the security guard at the venue. He did tell ABC seven this listen, the weapon in question was actually made out of plastic. Maybe police haven't confirmed that information, but it would explain how he was able to get

it through the metal detectors. Yeah, hasn't been confirmed, but they said it was plastic. I saw the picks knife didn't look plastic to me. But whatever, He's still getting some of this. Heah Hall because clearly security of the venue was lacking, and I noticed for three reasons. One because he got in with this replica gun and knife too. It's way too much cell phone footage from this incident. If you ever been to a Dave Chappelle show, then you know they treat your phone like a weapon. Okay,

everybody's phone gets confiscated. So I'm seeing way too many cell phone angles, which lets me know folks weren't doing their job. And the third reason I know they weren't doing their job security is because audience members said so. Audience members said the venue security was nonexistent. Okay. End quote. Now.

Isaiah Lee, twenty three years old, of LA Simple Question Brother, why he actually recorded this song called Dave Chappelle that he posted in June and twenty twenty, and according to trusted news outlet Fox News, he says in the song walking straight into the Ball, can we hear some of that ready into the Ball? Oh? Can I hear some of the hook of the Dave Chapelle think we gotta hear that? You don't gotta You're not gonna play that

in the mix? Okay, listen. I know we live in an era where folks love clouts, Folks love attention, Folks want to go viral by any means necessary. They don't care how their name shows up in Google searches, as long as it shows up. So this dude, Isaiah Lee is probably loving the attention. Not just loving the attention, but probably thinking about how he can profit off of this. Okay, whether it's a lawsuit or another song, I don't know

charging for an interview. Who knows. All I know is dropping the clues box with Dave Chappelle's team for beating his monkey ass. Okay, it brought me great joy to see that human on that gurney, swollen, bleeding, all on backwards, handcuffed. Not because I love violence, not because I want to see him hurt, none of that. I enjoyed it because everyone has to deal with the consequences of their actions.

This generation thinks it's no consequences. So when I see people receive consequences like that, okay, getting beat up and jail time, Oh it warms my heart. Okay, his bill is too low, though thirty thousand is too low. In fact, he should have no bell, no bell, and every time he goes to the toilet, they should handcuff his good arm, so when he poops and has to wipe, it has to be with the bad arm. Wouldn't you just love to see that? That's what I want to see. God,

viral record that Oh I love it. The moral of the story is this is proof that there are always consequences to your actions. Before you act, make sure you're prepared for him. Please give Isaiah Lee the biggest he hall. Let remy mad give Isaiah Lee the biggest he hall he ha he ha. You stupid. There you go. I ain't mad at it. Anytime he jump gonna stay, you should get your just like that. I just I love

seeing like that consequences to people's actions. You jumping down, every comedian, every artistact that that's performing, somebody jump on stage. The're gonna be traumatis because they're gonna think it's a guy with a gun with a knife on it. That should traumatize you. Like I said, the Will Smith situation, that's you're not gonna see that, but maybe once in a generation, depending what multiverse you with. But eaently you more likely to run into that. So I'm good to see.

That's good to see him deal with the consequences of his actions. All right, Well up next ask ye eight und five eight five one oh five one. You need relationship advice to any type of advice, call ye now it's the breakfast club. Good morning. What what what? What? What you gonna know? Baby mama issues seeking some words of wisdom? All up now for asking eight hundred five eight five one oh five one the Breakfast Club. Come on these relationship advice, the personal advice, just the real advice.

Hey, William, what's your question for ye? Once again? Good morning, Envy, Charlemagne, yee yee. I have been with a my woman coaches every year, okay, and I want to propose to her. I love her to death. She's a great woman. But one of my issues is is that her children or her child is just so disrespectful,

not motivated. Twenty one years old, still lives at home, and I try to motivate her, but she just she's just pretty much, Oh, my mom's gonna take care of everything. I don't want to work in this and that, and that's a big issue with me. What is it, mon? What does your your woman say you're soon to be fiance say when you talk to her about it. Um, when I talked to her about it, she's like, oh, that's my baby, this and that blah blah blah, and

then she just ches it at all. Well, first of all, I would think it's twenty one years old that her daughter would want to move out soon at some point. But yeah, but you know when when mom is like, oh, that's my baby and I'll take care of her no matter what. But I grew up a different way. Yeah, you know, hey, look you get to a certain name, you need to either be in school or be in a military. Well, look you and like you said, that's kid. You grew up a different way, and different people raise

their kids in different ways. Some people are like, I grew up like this. I want my kids to have, you know, everything, and I want to make sure that I'm there to support them and they don't have to do certain things. It's really hard to tell somebody what to do with their own child. But you guys are trying to be a family, and what you can do is be supportive and what it is that she wants

to do, but offer suggestions also in a positive way. Okay, you know you can't tell somebody what you're doing is wrong. But what you can't say is it is affecting our relationship, right, you know. And I had these conversations because I think sometimes we try to tell people what they're doing. This is what I do, so that's what you need to do. That's not necessarily true. Okay, you know, and I do hope that you guys can work through these things. But I think you know, it's an issue with the mom

that you have. You can't there's a twenty one year old child who's been raised this way her whole life, you know, and that's what the moms are doing her whole life. It's hard to tell somebody do something different, because what if it was the other way around, and you had a child and she was telling you, oh no, don't do that, don't put your don't tell your child they have to do this, You would be like, no,

that's what I'm doing. But I do think that you guys should be open to hearing each other out and just maybe some suggestions, but in a positive, supportive manner. Okay, Okay, I'll try that. Okay, all right, congratulations, how are you going to propose? Oh? I gotta set up in about two weeks. We're gonna go to the beach down at Florida. Okay, you remember, it's not it ain't gonna be you against

the daughter. Okay, y'all about to be a family. You got to figure out a way to integrate things, right, right, right, I got you, I got okay, all right, thank you so much for your advice.

I'm gonna keep real's some real advice with Angela ye gets ask Ye morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne

the guy. We are the breakfast Club. But in the middle of ask ye, Hello, who's this? Hey? This so Joe? Hey, what's your question for you? I want you've been with a female for eight years, you have a child together. Everybody, man, I love with a death. But it's too bad. It's like sexually we were not claking, like like she's not doing it for me. Like sometimes I'll be happy, like like one time we all were talking about faking orgasm.

Sometimes I'll be having a faking wood just to Rustle, you know what I mean, Get get through the get through the sension. You feel me and another thing. And she she's not motivated to made like I got two jobs. I got two jobs, and I hunting along the side Rustle the thig. She she didn't want to do nothing like she just want to She just want to work. But then I got a little to she she I would have too, but we have explement stational chemistry. And

she had hard work and she got two jobs. Everything but my baby mama, she she sweets. She never did mentor to me and I love what a deal? Okay, Like I don't know what to do. So you love her to death, but you physically are not attracted to her. And part of that might be the fact that you feel like she's not motivated enough and you're not attracted

to the fact that she like ambition. Yeah yeah. And then on top of that, now you started messing with somebody else, and you're comparing these two women, and you found somebody that you like certain qualities in her better, and you're comparing that to your long term girlfriend and children's mother. Yeah yeah, when did things get worse for you? And and your girlfriend sexually. I can't really get warning.

It's probably like maybe like halfway through a little bit halfway do you really like Like it's just it's just like you want to do hers right, Like even when we were like it's like I just talked to the bottom, but he was like and she didn't used to be like that. Things changed at some point exactly. It's the boy and reach you had the childish it's just like, oh, yeah, come on, you're really like that, you know what I mean. I liked it, So it was like I liked it,

you know, do differently, you know what I mean. And the other girls she's like, we when it comes theirn today. So it's like and you said, so you said it was kind of after she had the child that things change in the bedroom because you know, a woman's body and her hormones can change after that. Yeah, but I mean, but other man they had choose. Yeah, but it doesn't happen to everybody, but it can happen, you know what I mean. So it could be other things that's on

her mind, bothering her. Maybe she's unhappy with her work. Also, like you said, you feel like she's not ambitious, but is she doing what she wants to do. Yeah, yeah, like like she but but that's what I'm saying we did in college, say like I work hard, like I work crazy, like I worked ten hour day old jobs. Sometimes like I go, I go all ri It's like it's like she just like she always played about phone having little girl do who But it's like you like

right and and now you like somebody else. I just want to give you this advice because I can't tell you, you know, to leave somebody or stay with somebody, But I will say, don't compare these two women to each other. They're in different situations. Focus on your relationship and whether or not you want to be with that person. Don't leave one person for another. So separate the two situations. Okay, other than what this woman is, you know, who is

your side piece is providing for you? Yeah, usually when people have a side piece, that's fun. You're not having the issues of having a relationship that share escape from the problems that you're having with your woman. So you got to separate those two things and just focus on Okay, can I fix this with her? I'm not comparing her to what this other woman is doing. Because we don't have a child together, we haven't been together. We're not comfortable.

I don't know what's going on with that. But in your situation, can this be fixed? And if it can't, it's not fair to you to stay with somebody who you say you love her to death, but then you're cheating on her. Imagine how things are going to change if she ever finds that out and that and that's what I'm and that's what I'm kind of afraid. Or it's like it's like because like with the other chicken, it's like, let's just say, let let me get your job.

Let's say I won't truckle, right, I'm just I'm just we're just talking. You free man. I'm like, I don't want to pay shoes, you see what mean? Chill? The other girl be like, oh well if I don't have all the money for all, I argue you have for the money opposed to my bad mama was like, oh, well give out if you won't go getting yourself, Like I said, trust me and believe there's other women. First of all, she knows she's a side check, right, she

know you got a woman. Yeah, so already she's purposefully doing these things Okay, So let's be clear, she knows you have a woman, and so already she's wrong for that. Trust and believe, as amazing as you think she is, the fact that she's messing with you knowing that you in a relationship makes her not so amazing. Number one. But no, you know what I'm saying, So don't fall into that. But number two, forget about that. Focus on your relationship and what the problems are. Don't cheat on

this woman. I would rather you decide not to be with her for now so that you're not doing that, because she will be devastated and I don't know if your relationship can be repaired, you know, so you gotta think like that. You don't want to hurt her. So if you don't want to hurt her and you love her to death, be honest with her. And if you feel like, look, this is not a situation I want to be in, I'm sneaking around, I'm a cheat regardless, then don't be with her. You're not forced to be

in a relationship. But I understand she might end up being with somebody else. And if you feel like you can handle that, you know that's on you. But just remember that it's hard because of a child, Like I love my son more than anything in this world, so it's kind of hard. Well, if you love your son, then you gotta be honest with the mom. You can still love your son and have a good relationship and be a great dad. But if you're treating his mom like that and he ever finds that out one day,

think about how devastating that is for your family. Yea, you gotta be a good role model for your son. You love your son, do the right thing. All right, You're welcome, all right, ski eight, don't drink five eight five one on five one. We got rooms on the way. Yes, in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

And you know, his mom is from Korea, but she was adopted, so he said he never knew anything about his Korean heritage until

he met his wife. Janelle. Mune is going to be portraying Josephine Baker in a TV series and it's called Dayla Resistance, And so that'd be really dope to see Josephine Baker's role as a spy for the Allies during the French Resistance, helping defeat the Nazis and her experience as one of the world's most iconic, talented and glamorous entertainer. Big role, big role, Janelle dropping a clue box, Janelle

Mune Gotta body that one. And you know, Joey Vadass wasn't paid for Two Distant Strangers and he actually had to go to therapy after starring in that Oscar Winnings short film. He said he did it because there was a lot of internalization. He had to go to therapy. He said, I remember the first scene in the movie when I'm coming out of the girls apartment and please see me and they slam me on the floor. I remember shooting that in real time, and it was people

driving by. They would stop and they would roll down their windows and be like, Yo, is this real or is this for a movie? What's going on? You good? He said. It's traumatic for those innocent bystanders as well. I can imagine. I'm sure he got something on the back end or yeah, he said, you know, it was supposed to be a feature. Originally he didn't get paid. It was a project and experiment. He said. Once I

got involved activated a lot of people. Once they saw my execution everybody wanted to be a part of the production team, and that's what helped get it that push, all right, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for twenty twenty two.

Yeah, club, I mean, where's the champagne la. We need a We really do need to get more celebratory. We do have some wine. I'm glad. I do want to say that I've seen a huge difference since you started coming up here up until now, in the past five years, even with people not being ashamed and wanting

to talk more about mental health. Oh, I hope that our organization and this stuff I've been saying, I've been able to help normalize that conversation. How are you? First of all, you know, I'm okay. I don't know if y'all know, but I lost my mother late January. I feel like it's always a reoccurring theme with me, healing. Um, I'm good this morning. Let me just say that, and

I take that one day at a time. I no longer try to just sugarcoat how I'm feeling, and if I'm having a tough day, I'll say that I was just on a panel on Friday, shout out to doctor Chelsea Clinton at the Clan Foundation, and I wasn't having a good day that morning, and I felt stressed and anxious. But I prayed about it and I just tried to recenter myself and you know, I just, you know, have to figure out ways now to keep myself moving forward.

That's why healthy coping mechanisms are important, because we all struggle every day in some form of fashion. But the key is to have ways to cope through it in a healthy way. Yeah, what are some of your coping mechanisms? So like for me, is I mentioned like, you know, I just got up and I prayed that morning and not to impose my faith. So if you believe in the universe or you just want to get outside and get it, immerse yourself in nature. I think nature is

a great waiter sending yourself and go outside. I take walks, I drink tea and really because tea is really soothing. I'll exercise. I have a stationary bike. And also I might call a girlfriend and just like reminisced and laugh Can we talk about grief a little bit more? Because yes, you know, people, I think one of the biggest lives you've ever told ourself was time heals all wounds in regards to grief. I don't believe that anymore. Can I

just speak candidly, like, please grief up journey? Sometimes for some it's really tough. I'm still getting over the loss of my sister, you know, which last week made three years for her. And I think we all feel like, Okay, we grieve. You know, you got all this influx of calls and messages and post piece be with you, prayers to your family that first week, right, and then you're trying to get everything planned and the services and it's hectic.

And then that next week when all the phone calls stop and people learnt calling, and you gotta sit in that grief. It's a lot, and some people internalize it and bury it and act like, Okay, funeral's over, I'm done. Society tells me, I gotta snap back out of it and get back to work. That's some book. We have to process through our grief, and we have to allow

ourselves to go through it. That's why you might see an ugly cry on my ig, you know, every now and then, because I feel like being transparent and the thing about grief, it's okay to sit in it. You just can't stay in it, but you gotta be able to sit in the valley and go through it. It's no way around it, and no two people grieve the same. I'm still in therapy, which is I'm so proud of myself. I've been in therapy, you know, NonStop for six months.

That's new for me because sometimes I'll start and stop and I think, Okay, I'm doing this work. I know how to cope. But that's a lie too. I have this great book that I read called The Gift of Grief and it's by doctor Jetta Robinson, and it just talks about allowing yourself the grace and space that you need. I just feel like we have to create safe spaces and we have to give more grace to people when they're grieving. We do. You never know what somebody's and

it could be ten years later. And I talk to people when I share stuff about my mom, and I got so many people posting or leaving comments saying, Yo, my mom's been dead ten years and my pop's been dead fifteen years and I still find myself I could be able to red light or I hear a song and I just want to cry. And what I'll say to you is cry let it out. Like tears are therapeutic.

You know, it's like water to your soul. That's the biggest thing, right because every therapist will tell you feel your feel So it's like get overwhelmed with these emotions and we act like that's wrong, Like no, like you're grieving. You gotta let it out. And a lot of people understand the grief journey and how it equates to our

overall mental health and wellness. I was going to say it is Mental Health Awareness Month, and I want to talk about what Silence the Shame is doing because we want to make sure, of course that we're letting people know how they can participate in support. Fifth to day, we're so excited, so we have this wonderful national campaign going on. You can go to our site or go to our Instagram page and we have a link to an actual virtual frame so you can upload your own

photo and there's ways to give. You can text the word silence to seven h seven O seven oh, or you can go to our website and donate and we're just celebrating all of this great stuff that we've done. Shout out to Senator Anderson and Deanna Hamilton in Atlanta. Governor Kemp sound a resolution for us designating May First, which was just this past Sunday as Black Children's Mental Health Day in the state of Georgia, and we're trying to take that to other states. Shout out in New York.

We want to be able to do that and recognize that we want to take it federal, so maybe our organizations can partner on that. Also, we're doing wellness seminars. You know, we've partnered with Sony Music Publishing and John Platt and so we've created these workplace wellness trainings for anybody that works in radio or the community at large and music industry. You can get those for free. I also partnered with Atlanta Influences Everything to create some special

shirts for the month of May. And you know, that's a big cultural brand in Atlanta, so it says Atlanta Influences Mental Health and then our logos on the side, and so a portion of those proceeds will go to us. And then I also this week when I was in New York. I did a talk at the Pinterest office week kenn of Cole and he has the mental health Coalition that we're all a part of, and they're doing great work. We just have so much stuff quanting you,

I know, joke. I just wanted to say, like, all the work that you've been doing for all these years, thank you, based off of your own experiences is so important. Being able to help others and to see through, you know, everything that you've been through and are still going through Delhi and just using those experiences and people can relate

to you so much. Thank you. That means a lot because I often was telling him the young lady Katie li with me that works for us and shout out to the STS team that you know, sometimes when I see my friends and colleagues from music, I'll be lying if I said, what would life have been like had I stayed you know at the labels and you know all of my friends are like presidents of labels and

running their own companies. But I am like so proud of where I am right now and the fact that I can accept, you know, God's will over my life. Like I had to take this charge. It was like an assignment for my life. So like, I feel like He puts you in rooms where you need to be. And I was somebody that could come, I think, into this space, into you know, dealing with athletes and dealing with entertainers and that sort of thing, and they'll be

okay with talking about it. Right, you know, even when you talk about not being in the music industry, nonymore like, just think about how God works, Like the music industry needs people like you more than ever. Right, thank you? So who who would reach back to these rappers? Who would reach back to these artists if they weren't somebody who was already in that you know what they're going through? Yeah, Like, thank you for saying that too. We did a talk at TSU in Houston. My girls and set up and

I spoke to the artist Mona Leo. I think she's been on the show before. It has Mona Leio been on the show? I don't know anyway, but she's a dope rapper from Houston, and she really opened up and was very transparent. And on a Friday afternoon on a college campus, we had sixty students talking about mental health and opening up in ways that I can't even explain to you. But Mouski has been on the show. Mooski actually is doing something with us on Saturday. We're doing

a team wellness clinic. We're gonna one hundred teams in Atlanta together. We're gonna do wellness and yoga and fireside Chats're gonna be talking to him and so yeah, I think I am that person to bridge the gap between culture and mental health and wellness. And I just love what I do. And you know, we honored you last year at our gala. We have our gala coming up

on May fourteenth, or Brilliant Man. Gayla Dallas Austin, the music producer, is our co chair, is hosted by Q Parker from one twelve, and we're honoring NFL player Chris Hubbert from the Cleveland Browns, who has his own mental health foundation, and also Marcus Smith, who's a former player.

So I love music and sports. So I think it's so dope for me to be able to go back into these spaces and really open up these conversations in an authentic way so people don't feel embarrassed or a shame because, like I said, I'm still healing right And one of the things I just want to say, and I hope you can support us on this too. Silence a Shame just launched an initiative called Healing in Public, and that's really how we should look at it, because we all got to get up and go to work.

We got jobs. You gotta show up. But you show up as you're healing in public, and that's okay. So you allow yourself to be unapologetic. You give yourself the grace that you need. And so if I do tell someone I'm not having a bad day, that no one will put shame on me because I am quote unquote healing in public. Always amazing to have you. I know we do this to honor you and to make sure we bring lights to Silence to Shame every single year. But you do that work three hundred and sixty five days.

Thank you for that, and I need you for a Mental Effect bowl again. This ship. Let's do it. Let's do it. And we want to do something in Atlanta with you too, especially random kids man like. That's that's that initiative. We have to get the cult clinic. We're trying to take and do an other states and as well as honoring Black children's Mental Health Days. So we're already talking to an organization about California. So brother, let's

join forces and let's get all these states to do it. Absolutely, let's do it as shanty Dogs. Silence to shame, National Silence to shame, Days Day, text, tweet, donate today, very important to donate, Yes, Tex silence to seventies seventies seventy. Thank you shanty dogs for joining us. Now you got a positive note. The positive note is simply this man. Be kind to yourself today. Be kind to yourself, especially what you tell yourself. Support yourself instead of finding ways

on yourself. It's impossible to win if you're not on your own team. Breakfast Club, y'all done,
