It was like, hey, so there's nobody working at the airport right now. The guy that sends too, we just gotta wait until we get some people come got us in. I was like, what the hell is going on these airports? Nobody nobody working, no more staff, It's yolo everywhere, but like it really might be the

end of the world. And some people knowing, some people don't, and they're just like whatever, man, man, nobody seems to care about anything. I'm saying that, Like, okay, all right, well, comedian Flame Row will be joining us this morning, right Leggie Flame Flame will be here this morning, or the host of the Laugh and Learned podcast on the Black Fact Guy Heart radio podcasts that work, amongst other things. Yeah, he's back on the che's back is back on the row.

Flame has a bunch of different pronouns, so, okay, he actually has three. He's she we Okay, yes, I'll stick with I mean yeah, but it's hard to using the sentence when you're just trying to describe somebody. Okay, I'm not going in for flame just because flame makes it I'm not gonna say flame makes it complicated. But flame has three different pronouns. I don't know why I always say she when I talk about flame. Really, she doesn't she doesn't. Just see she flame doesn't exactly doesn't, but

I do. I don't know. It's just I don't know why. All right, Well, let's get the show cracking front page news. What we're talking about this morning. Well, the FDA has granted full approval for the Fiser COVID nineteen vaccine. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is d envy Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy we are to Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news where we're starting you. Well, the FDA

has granted full approval for the Fiser COVID nineteen vaccine. Now, Joe Joe Biden is telling everybody that now that you've been waiting for this, you can get vaccinated now with today's FDA full approval. There's another good reason to get vaccinated. If you go to vaccines dot com or text your zip code to four three heyday two nine, you can find a number of vaccine sites near you, just minutes away,

where you can get your shot without an appointment. So please go today, for yourself, for your loved ones, for your neighbors, for your country. Now does that make people who you know said they would wait. Does that make them feel comfortable to get the vaccine? What about you, chalam, that does that make you comfortable? Now, I've been sitting that for weeks. You sit here, You're sitting here with me every morning. I've been telling y'all that we don't

know if you change my mind. I mean, if I do that, I'd be my own personal choice, of my own personal decision. I don't think it'll be something that I broadcast, but I definitely do believe that, you know, now that it has full FDA approval, a lot more people will feel comfortable getting the vaccine. I mean, even though people have other questions. Now I didn't want to know.

You know, does the vaccine protected protect against all these other variants, all these new variants coming outta I see game, the LAMB, the fraternity, I saw COVID twenty two years yeah, something twenty two, twenty two something else. Well, Yes, an emergency use authorization obviously came first because it takes less time than what is required for full approval. But they said the FDA has been working around the clock and

conducting their own analysis of the vaccine. In addition to the company's analysis, They did benefit risk assessments, all of that. So it's the same formulation that's an emergency use authorization that's in the fully approved one. And why, um, why why didn't they fully approve for kids? Because I mean, I keep hearing all of these conversations about, you know, the kids going back to school and the kids are going to be you know, big spreaders, like why isn't

it for kids right nowelve to sixteen? Right now it's sixteen and over. And the reason why it is because they have to continue doing studies. There's a certain amount of people they have to test, and so I think it's like twenty thousand or something, so they have to do complete those studies before they can approve it for ages twelve to sixty stuff like that. It's still as still available for emergency use, I guess. And all the tests though for kids because they haven't tested for kids,

because you got to test. That's how I guess he gets to prove from the FDA. But my question is, now that it is approved, does that mean all government offices you have to have the vaccine they command their corporations can legally, right, so teachers and government employees but they did say they expect to have the vaccine trial data for kids five to eleven by the end of September, and then the company could apply to habits vaccine authorized

for those younger ages shortly after. Yeah, that would uh that that that definitely would bring a lot of comfort to people. Even though I know a lot of parents you know, who have their kids that are twelve and up vaccinated. I just you know, seeing full FDA proval for the kids would definitely rig a lot more people comfortable, right, And really what it is is these clinical trials and people signing up, and there's a certain amount of people that have to be part of these trials in order

for them to give it full approval. But now I'm just curious how they test kids though, because nobody's gonna give their kid to be like trying my kids. They give you a placebo and then they give somebody them, so you get to see if there's a difference people who got the placebo and then people who got the vaccination. Right now, nationwide, there's five vaccinations that you have to get kids get to go to school. So just putting that out there also that you know a lot of

kids we've all had to get vaccinated at some point. Absolutely, nobody's afraid of vaccinations. I mean, you don't get me wrong. You do have some anti vaccines, but you know, nobody's afraid of vaccinations. People are just afraid of the newness of this fact. Right, if this vaccine, just make sure it's testing. All right, Well, that is your front page news. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now get it off your chests. Eight hundred five five one O five one. If you need to vent, hit us up right now.

Phone line to wide open again. Phone numbers eight hundred five eight five one O five one. Get it off your chest. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club, Wake up, Wake up.

You got to go get that vaccine. I don't want you little that's what you're gonna do. I don't know. They can't them out that if they don't get the vaccine and new work inside the schools and the form of education that they laved without face. What's your hesitations on the vaccine came I'm just comfortable.

I get it. I'm not comfortable with it. It came out too fast. We don't know what it's gonna do with five years, Like, I don't know. I really don't understand why that's not enough for people because that word when somebody says they're not comfortable, that's enough anywhere else and any other saying got to make them do. But when it comes to this, it's like people still are pushy and forceful, like yo, if people are not comfortable,

they're not comfortable. Yeah all right, brother, sorry for sorry for that that they forced me to do that. I mean, let's see what happens. Bro. Hello, who's this? This is Rod Dracus. Hey, Rod, you could get you a feat chests? Okay, so my sound. He's eight years old. His name is Justice Bryant. His birthdays at the end of the win. He has chronic asthma and I have took him to the doctor, but his asthma and she was pushing the vaccine. Now,

all my fun, He can't take it at eight. You gotta be twelve to take the vaccine, right, But she's like pressuring it, like, well, you know, he can get the flu shot, he can get the vaccine as soon as it becomes available. He has asked mea, you should be the first one on the list, And I'm just like, calm down, calm see stuff like that. It's so confusing because I swear you had to be twelve in order to get the Yeah, but it becomes available, right, so

in four years. What I mean, I don't even gonna say it's available now, not not for eight year old, that's my point. Yeah, when it's available for younger kids, good idea. I have not even heard it that's gonna be available for eight year olds. All I've heard is twelve and up. Oh, yes, she's pressuring. Now. I'm in Kentucky, so you know, I don't know if it's different her, But yeah, I don't understand what she's saying. Like, what is she saying when it's available? What does that mean?

He's only eight, so what does that mean, that's what I was asking her and then't want to you know, get to discussing, and she's like, well, he can just get the flu shot as well, you know, you want to get them vaccine. And I'm just like, damn, yeah, that's wild, right, And they did say they expect to have vaccine trial data on kids five to eleven by the end of September, and then they'll applied for the vaccine for kids. Yeah, y'all eight year old get the vaccine.

Nor even with the health condition you know, we're asthma. He does have. We have been hospitalized, you know, hospitalized. Now when it gets to prove for for for younger kids than you know, me and my wife I have a conversation but right now. But I think she wasn't saying now, she was saying when it's available, Yeah, when it's approved. I think I think I will, honestly. I mean, I mean, you don't have to you don't have to do kids. Yeah, but you don't have to do anything

you don't want to do. But I see she's saying that because your child has asthma. And I know that people with asthma have suffered a lot from from COVID. Yeah, when it gets to prooved for younger. My seventeen year old and my nineteen year old got to tell before and he survived. So I'm just you know, it's just confusing to me. It's all on the look like it's it's all it's all new, and people feel what they don't understand. All of this is new. We don't quite

understand it. So there is a fear that people should understand at this point. Well, thank you for calling MoMA, good luck, Thank you so much. Get it off your chest eight hundred five eight five one on five one. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is your time to get it off your chests, whether you're man or blast. So people better have the same. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello,

who's this? Good Morning's Jack Jack? What up? Jack? Jack? You swear you swear you one of the Incredibles and you swear I'm not, but you know I can. But luck y'all, I wanted to get to my chest this one. And my neighbor has been like messing with me for the longest and like last week it finally came to it, she puts me and I just had to pull a jack and walk on like a dog. After that, she pulled the gun out on me, what front of our like, yes, she pulled the gun out in front of our president

and everything and pull. Now we got to have a board meeting today, and if I can't find or have to leave, I'm walking her like a dog on my way out. You better be careful if she got a gun, because she might shoot chat. Yeah, I don't understand why you're so calm about this whole situation. She pulled a gun on you, scary. She's not the type to pulling me. She pulled the gun out on her ex boyfriend and

they both up did all the She's just scary. I'm not just gonna say that, watch out for those watch out for those scary people, because they'd be the ones that do something like, oh, it's nothing to pull the trigger. But what most shootings in the most shootings in the hood happened because the scary people. And you're a slument ever in the who we are not well either way having board meeting either way, any in any community, then most most shootings happened because somebody is scared, not because

they're just some stone cold killer. That's very true. But you can't be the type to get and push people and put your hands on somebody and then when they defend themselves and you get whooped. Right, yeah, you're getting scared. If she put her hands on your hands on me, you can will pay as if she put her hand on you got Like you said, self defense, I was fearful of. Yeah. Yeah, you're right, but she can also pull our gun after she get that ass cut and

shoot you in self defense. She needs to go to the police station right now and follow a report and get a restraining order. She pulled the gun on you said, I definitely find the police report. All right, Well, be safe, Okay, it's not worth Sometimes things spiral even worse out of control. So I just want you to be careful and be safe. Thank you so much. Gonna see after this meeting. Lord.

protective vility something all right, Mama, thank you? Hello, who's this? What's up? Man's deep permission? What's up? Bro? Get it off her? Chess? Man and man? My issue with exact what they think about the long term effects, Like they don't say what's gonna happen to you to buy the teen years from now? Like nobody knows. But they don't know. I mean we're not we're not what long time effects are until I know that's I had. Like most vaccine they take ten to twelve years of approved. Now they

just put it out there. I don't know what they're gonna do. I'll tell you something. My whole girl caught and he told me yesterday she's in she was in the military. I think she just finished. But she said something yesterday. She was like, science is supposed to evolve, you know what I mean, So things that once took ten years shouldn't take that long anymore in twenty twenty one. That sounds that sounds like a logical explanation. I still I still got my you know, I'm still reserved a

little bit. So I'm gonna wait and trying to figure it out, see how things go. But that was my issue with it. She actually said that the purpose of science and medicine is to be progressive. It shouldn't take twenty years to develop something. Hello, who's this, Chris, Chris? What up, get it off your chest, all right, Yeah, I just wanted to get off myself. I'm four or five of my first daughter, and uh it just die

from the world. The schools is just crazy, and every baby getting paper is about COVID and you know cases summing up everything to day, I get a let at home about my kids sing somebody every COVID or anything

like that doing. Recently, a kid and the teacher got into a fight, and I guess the people told the then he bringed up being another black dead black dude and the steet or something like that, and uh them who got in showing fight And all you see is the teacher on top of the little boy, like just trying to smash him. I guess don't know what he was doing, but you end up grabbing him, backs us and when him in his face and it's that. It's over. The teachers still hitting the kid, and I know that.

I mean, I know, kids is bad. I get it. Everybody's can their hands on nobody's kids. Right. The first thing I did I went to my oldest he's ten. I'm like, hey, when you see the video, what's the first thing you would do if the teacher said that to you, he said, I would have left the class and caused you. I said, I'm glad you said it, because I don't want you to touch those teachers. I mean, don't be no pump. But in each time, you can't

be touching these teachers. They're still grown and they're ready to hit and no time. Yeah, but I'm saying, usually this video, this pieza, man, he looked like he was ready to Hey, I'm telling it wasn't normal because back in my time, the kids in the video, they're trying to stop it. They were coming, they was helping the teaching. They were like, man, you know they're trying to stop it. In my time, we would have eat the stuff out of our promises, wouldn't It wouldn't have been like we

was different kids. But the jump that because he was trying to hurt a kid right there in front of everybody. You know what I'm saying. So I don't know. I'm pretty sure my manks ain't gonna do much. But you're just coming from a father who worked every day and at that four sons. I'm just seeing all this stuff going on this school. I'm only thirty two, and I'm like, dang, it. It's just word every day. I'm just worried what's going on from my cousins. I don't know. I just wanted

to get out. But thank you for sharing all of that with us and for being a great dad. Absolutely, get it off your chests. Eight hundred five five one five one. We got rooms all the way man. So, our former girlfriend of R Kelly has testified about alleged abuse. She is testifying anonymously, but she's also previously spoken out publicly about her experiences with R Kelly. We'll tell you what she said. All right, we'll get into that next.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club's filling the team. This is the Rumor Report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well. R Kelly's trial is continuing in Brooklyn now. Yesterday, one of his accusers broke down on the stand. She was giving testimony about the abuse that she allegedly endured from him during their five year relationship. She said he would give her bruises during frequent spankings and even forced her to get an abortion back in

twenty seventeen. She said he had expressed that he still wanted me to keep my body tight, and he wanted to have a family after he got rid of the rest of the girls. Now in their first meeting, she said that he peer pressured her into letting him perform earl sex on her after that she was only seventeen at the time, but she told him she was eighteen. She met up with him at several of his contacts across the country, and then months later she started to

experience severe pain whenever they had sex. She said, it got to the point where I could not physically even walk. It turns out that she had contracted vaginal herpes. When she told R. Kelly, she said he was agitated and said that she could have gotten a disease before they met, but she told them she'd only ever been intimate with him. She said, this man purposely gave me something he knew he had that he could have controlled. She also talked

about the strict rules that he had. They had to wear baggy clothes, they had to turn away from men who entered elevators, and they also had to write at least four fake letters every year that claimed they'd stolen money or had been molested by family members in order to protect him and so he could exploit them. She also claims that she had to force She was forced

to record the meeting videos of herself as punishment. There was one where she had to smear feces on her face and put it in her mouth, she said after R Kelly told her she wasn't into it enough and that she would have to redo it, she refused, And she said she was also physically abused on a regular basis. One time he beat her with his size twelve Air Force one shoe after she lied about texting her high

school friend. So all yesterday and she's on the stand as Jane Doe, but she has spoken out against him before and she said he would leave bruises on her, would make her skin terror times. So right now, you know, he's facing a slew of charges, including racketeering based on kidnapping, sexual exploitation of children, and forced labor. He's also charged with violations of the Man Act that prohibits to transport

of people across state lines for sex. We'll keep you updated though, We're keeping her eye on what's happening with this R Kelly tild All. Right now, Boosey wants to clarify some comments. He did this on the Breakfast Club. Regarding Little nas X, A Little nas X has responded, here is what he said on the for this club. What about even saying like you would beat his ass? And I tell a Little nas X responded to that,

you think that's too far? Oh nah, because I'll just be feeling like sometime I gotta speak up because as far as straight people in the world, you don't have an opinion among six yet everything is harm Oh that's talking about women forever, and I feel you know, they're checking our children. Why are you acting like rappers haven't been negative influences for years? So how is he the person that you decided to point out and say, oh,

you're ruining it for the kids. I really get offended when it was like he was saying that he would go up there and perform naked in front all the people. I just wouldn't tell us. Wow, that that came from this show, and that audio sounds so disgusting. That is why, because it came from here. Good observation. I was wondering that was so disgusting his audio and he came from this show. But Little nas Ex responding to this club, he said, Wow, this is insane almost as insane. It's

my new single, Industry Baby, which is out now. Get here free little nas x dot com. He said, the issue I'll say about me would drive me crazy if I didn't already love myself. That's the most important part, you know. And Little nas X as a prime example of don't be afraid to do something just because you're scared of what people are gonna say about you. People are gonna judge you no matter what. So if you

love yourself, put your best foot forward. And it's also been revealed that Little nas X and Taco Bell are teaming up and the partnership is for Montero. You know, that's his real name, and so back in twenty seventeen he was part of the Taco Bell team at an Atlanta area outlet, and now he is got a role with Taco Bell.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has stepped down, and yesterday at midnight he had to turn the reins over to our next first ever woman governor, Kathy Hokl. Now Here is what Pama had to say as he did his farewell address, and he basically is letting people know that he did not do these things. He admitted to acting badly in certain instances, but he said some of the more serious

charges against him are not true. Facts still matter. A firecracker can start a stampede, but at one point everyone looks around and says, why are we running? The truth is ultimately always revealed. The Attorney General's report was designed to be a political firecracker on an explosive topic, and it worked. There was a political and media stampede, but the truth will out in time. In addition to that, he was talking about his own success as a governor.

He said, no governor in the nation has passed more progressive measures than I have. He said he tried his best. We didn't get everything done that we wanted to, or even everything we should have done, and we didn't always get it quite right. But I want you to know from the bottom of my heart that every day I worked my hardest, I gave it my all, and I tried my best to deliver for you, and that is

the God's honest truth. Look at Governor Cormo plug in my show to God's Honest Truth, coming to Comedy Central Friday nights at ten pm starting on September seventeen. Great time for an endorsement. Incredible Now Eric Adams, he said,

would be the next mayor of New York City. He said, I think he'll bring a new philosophy and competence to the position which can give New York City residents hope for the future, because clearly he doesn't like the current mayor, Bill de Blasio, so that was his last final shot as governor. I'll tell you one thing, man, My daddy would always tell me, You're never as good as they say you are, and you're never as bad as they

say you are. And I also loved the quote of if you live for the cheers, you'll die by the bulls, because never forget how much the country love Governor Clombo. This time last year, literacy, just this time last year, he was the belle of the ball. He said, don't forget what we accomplished. We went from the highest infection rate in the nation to the lowest. We did what

no one thuck could be done. He also talked about the rebuilding of the Guardia Airport and Newpenn station in Manhattan, and the launch of clean energy projects across the state. And he went to people to know he did his best. All right, that's what. Don't listen to people when they say they love you, don't listen to people when they say they hate you.

I couldn't have got hired for my talent. He couldn't have liked my personality and what I liked a better looking guy first of all, about me again with a man, he needed to be at least like six two. What make you think playing would be my type? I think that would be too aspirational for you and, by the way, for him. But you don't like guys. I do what I want to do. No, see this is new. I didn't know it's not new, I said, I like what I like. I do what I want to do. I said,

Monday Winnesday, Friday, I do painting Tuesday thirty. And say, do you that you ain't listen to one of my comedy shows that everybody about you told me you like women who presented men. Now that is my get down. That is what I love, my thing. But I mean, I've been, I've had a boyfriend, I've been, I've been everything. So that's why I say I'm a freend. I do and I'm free, and I'm my children know who I am. And I'm telling you once you have to love. He

was yelling in your bed, y'all New York. What could she having more? I played answer to see that day she knew that I let's not label people like that, please, I ain't no label. I got a song out called he she Lady Brady wrote it from It's called Ain't no labels cites he. I don't put myself in the box. I'm still we're not calling you. It could be a thought to be anything, oh young male female, because you

know they identifies everything right now. I personally, I think Harry Tubby identified as the first trans man because remember Harry Tubby was running, running, running, running, run, and on the bells. They was looking for a man. Harry was a woman. She might have looked at little manly, but the real talking Harry Tubby was alive to be in the limits right now. None of you bitches was saying the chance because Harry can run for Harry ran for months months. That is true. I wouldn't have went back

and got nobody. I'd have been a free bitch show y'all. On y'all, I ain't going back. Master hit too hard. That was wrong with you? What do you think I have a disrespect disrespect you black women. You just did that. I know, I know, I know, I know. Do people understand the context of jokes anymore? From hell? Absolutely not? And when you say something that offends everyone, they want to cancel everything. Let's let's let's talk about the cancelation of the baby last Well, yes, first of all, the

baby is not my demographic. I'm fifty five, the baby is twenty nine. I never knew who the baby was until all of the controversy. But then let's break it down and take it to the context. The baby was on stage. We all live performance, we are all in this room, have been on stage with Lave Theater. Sometimes you have an audist and you have a microphone and it gets away from you. The difference is at fifty you know when to bring it back or how to bring it back. At twenty nine, maybe he didn't. So

maybe his words got away from him. But he didn't say, if you was black and gay, put your phone up, or if you are white and gay, put your phone. He didn't say if he was gay and got age, put your phone. He said, if you don't have hfba a's put your phone up, If you don't taste like water, to put your phone up, if you ain't in the parking hit dog Wihalla, he wasn't talking to me. So I didn't take to offense to that because I'm like,

y'all canceling everything. But where's the black men's caucus that to surround this young brother and say, hey, that's not cool. Let us teach you so you don't make this mistake again, as opposed to snatching everything away and then all these celebrities jumping on it and mcdonna. I'm a huge Madonna fan. Madonna created envelopes in the eighties to push including all my knees in front of a black man burning across and like a prayer. She did that. Now they be

at her house burning it down. But it was a different time. But don't take everything from this young man and don't teach him. Didn't make them. I would say people have tried to approach him because they did have. Um it was eleven different LGBTQ plus organizations that were like, hey, we'd love to sit down with you. He didn't need to be spoken to by lgbchan and then it was Miley Cyrus. It was also another LGBTQ organize made up

a man. Ye's a few different people, and I don't know what he's doing behind the scenes, if he is having conversations. Lory Hogan, who works on They Laugh and Learned with me, my partner, my manager, HF reached out to him to do something, but it was just too controversial at the time because they wanted to bring him up for World Age. They will. I don't know if that's what it's going to take to me and defenses because everything we're going to take everything and be offended

by it. We can't be offended by everything that somebody says to us, even when they're not talking to us. I think part of it for him though, it was the misinformation about HIV and that you're gonna die dog, and they took that and ran with it. He didn't he was not talking to one group, organization or nationality. But it just says some words. I agree with not

canceling people, and with the education part of it. And so I did see people reaching out, and I don't know, and I know behind the scenes people have reached out also just because I think that's a great opportunity to say, Okay, you said something people were offended by it, because people were offended and then now let's discuss. And so I do think that's a great opportunity. I agree with not

just canceling people. Yeah, teach him something because I want to put my phone up on the part when he said you're not in a party like getting your I said, well, whatever, you get your second. I would have heard many community how do they feel about flavor? Oh? Not at all this Every time. Side of my own organization, I am the I Gotta tribe with a vade we called the hihi We group. You can catch us own love lounge on Instagram every night between six thirty and seven West

Coast time. We got our own. If I said every word perfectly for my community, it will never fall in line. The hypocrisy of everything I said two years ago, and they ready has fallen in line. We're fighting over bathroom rising pronounce still, but look at the strides that we are making. We have Sarah mcbrad, a state senator in Delaware. Joe Biden just appointed a young lady to be able,

a young lady to be a doctor. We also got m j Rod Reguez who just made history as being the first trans woman to ever be nominated for lead Actors in a serious role for TV. So we I'm looking at the positive. I'm looking at we're going forward. I'm not looking at me going backwards. I don't want to fight. I just want to work and take care of my family. I don't want to I don't care what you think of me. All Right, we have more with Flame Morow when we come back, don't move. It's

the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Were still kicking it with Flame Morow. Charlomagne, what do you think about how Biden hands in Afghanistan. I think that anybody in his position, whatever president would have been, it was gonna be if they would have pulled out, it was going to be the same back lad I nobody expected the

Taliban to move as fast as they did. Also, y'all keep forgetting that job that Trump let the leader out in twenty eighteen. Oh see, everybody's mad at body by y'all not giving a body in the chance. I hate that you vote for these officials are getting in and vote. Biden won not by a landslide, but he won. Look Lorie Life of Chicago, Chicago mayor, she won by a landslide. Y'all voted to part end. She made mistakes. Nobody is perfect get their job, but we're so ready to throw

them under bucks. Let me tell some of my Democratic Party. I'm a Democrat. They need some You know who got the biggest in the Democratic Party. Nancy Pelosi. Man, she got the biggest Democratic part she could buy on man him out off. I think that they've tried every political strategy except for kurache I think that that whole term

that the rappers and all the gangster say. I'm rather down, rather that the only people that's rather that in this life is trumplicants and dominate and and gops that are fully owned Republicans. Because if if the Republicans and Trump people was in the position where they could get rid of the filibusters and can control the vote, you think they wouldn't have took the chance. They're doing it now. They moved left and right every chance they get the applause, Say, aram,

I know what happened on January six? You know what happened on January six? Do you know what happening on January six? Do you know what having January? Domestic terrists attacked by a bunch of We won Georgia. I don't give off what they was doing over there. We won Georgia. Everything is on the ground. We won Georgia. That was not our fight. So while they clamped the walls with no net, like Spider Man at the Capitol, we were

celebrating in Georgia, partying up. Now, Flame, how has life changed for you since since day ready and then since having your podcast, Because throughout the years we've seen your star rising up even more and more more. So, how's things for you now? Oh, I'm grateful to be working. Angela, thank you, and Charlottagne, thank you for the job. Gave me a job. Sammy heart went on the back Dad of that. Noah't you ain't my goddamn party. You make

more money to me. But Charlotta Magne Charlemagne, by the way, I don't never hear from that fo Yeah a good bass, invisible bass. I like him. That's cam My checks comment. I don't never have to talk to him. Dolly, Dolly is the president, Dolly running that way because it's good. You know, four years ago, I wouldn't have been able to be so comfortable with my son going to college and not thinking about even though he got a full scholarship, Thank you Lord Jesus gratula, where she was going in

my team? Remember covid hit nobody saw common and starship for mechanical engineer. Okay, perfect, he's smart like your daddy. It's daddy just with dresses. But it's good because my daughter is a spoiled already anyway. It just made more people know who I am. And people always say, flame you speaking, you cooning for the straight people. You you dancing the straight people there as you're saying what they

want to say. What it is is, I've always spoke like this, y'all just come to find out who I am. I was always this me. Y'all just were being brought into the foe. But if you don't want to work, be around me and the words the Nikki Giovanni. I ain't never worked the room, but the dough was locked. Take five of your friends with you, because your friends ain't my friends. Because my bitches where my college because

I went. If I ain't nothing else, I'm loyal. You do think about little nas X and everything everybody attacking everything he does like you. I like that you got a list two over there. I want to I want to make everything I got doctor. Let me see. I think that little nas X is a prime example of live your life to its best. I've heard so many gay people complain he's kissing the man on TV. He's gay. If he was on the d L and he got busted, then y'all will have a problem with that. You can

never please everybody, so stop trying. Look in the mirror and like the person that's looking back at you. When I tell y'all, look at the mirror, and I see all things up in me, the hard to heed them those days looking back at me, and we all chilled because I accept all my good and my bad. Too many people are lost. That's why we seventy four million people vote for Trump because they lost. They don't know what they do. They need to be in a hope.

Seeing gay people on television is gonna convince children to become gay and pushing some type of agenda that is ridiculous. That's the same hypocrisy that some comedians, male comedians got out. I'm a male comedian. I never wear a dress. I know what then don't wear one. Tyler Perry has more the Ugliest dresses for about twenty years and is a billionaire and has employed tons and tons and tons of black all people, not just black people, but all people.

Tyler Perry called me because I know you bring them Ada out of retirement and her name, her stripping, They're gonna be delicious. I want to be her best girlfriend. I want to be scrumbled. Tyler Baby, the girl may the bill boy got a job for us. I'm asking now on the breath, I'm crossing Tyler off. The lost that was on the list shot out the time I'm trying to give me a gig. Baby.

That's why I live in Florida. What's the benefits of mess with the twenty two year old? Would you say like a younger as opposed to older, young and dumb and full of I don't want nobody as smart as me, because then I'll be challenged all the time. I need

somebody that's just not that just don't know. So what's the conversations like conversation two? Thank your conversation for her? Are you ready? Because I'm ready. I can't lose because I'm on his side and I'm on her side. This is he she we I'm respecting. I can't lose because when I do my love Lounge, because I do the show called love Lounge while I'm a love guru, where

I do I answer love questions. This is a love because I've been the husband and the wife, sometimes in the same night, depending on who turned it was, how much money was involved, in which day of the week, so I could answer all questions. So if you got love, plait me now, y'all hit you with any day. I'm telling you I'm prepared with all right, we have more with Flame row when we come back, don't move. It's

I don't trust Fouci, okay, why not because he killed a lot of my girlfriends in the eighties. He did say that ACT would kill AIDS.

It did, and it killed everything in their bodies including them. What was it was easy to act was an AIDS medication that Fouci was ahead of, in charge of back in the eighties, doing the Ronald Reagan eras when when AIDS first hit vaccine? Now they're developing. Oh, I saw that. I heard that. It's a shot yep. Okay, still in the testing phases, in the little a whole lot, still in testing phase. Y'all ain't saying nothing about that, y'all.

Now they're hitting them all up everywhere else time they just having them all chats, everybody getting caught up. Let me tell you something,

I don't think that. And I hate when they keep exposing all these rappers and all these guys that have relationships with trans women. Sometimes they just are attracted to trans women and it's okay, but society has already said, oh, you can't do that, that's gay. You you you're less than a man, and you will You can't tell somebody how to feel. The problem is till sometimes the trend needs to shut the cup. So I'll running your mouth because I had a relationship with it about seventeen years

I was never looking for an apology for the moment. I just wanted to know, girl, well, what what I do? But it was just a different time,

Monique is beyond talent. Who nobody ever said Monique wasn't time was Tyler? I mean, Opra, call me Tyler and shout out over because powerful black women. Yeah, I'm I'm a team black woman, and you know I get oh, let me go. I know we want to get away from LGBT. I gotta bring it up. I

I was a trans woman when some of y'all were still cooking in your daddy's young bitches. Better do your research, but you check up on the old queen because I know some stories and I know where the bodies beery. I will never discredit a biological woman. It's what my term. I say, biological woman, because biological women's are giving. Women are givers of life.

I came in and every other bitch and every other in this room, and white boys too, came in through a woman. I would never discredit a woman. And I'm not saying that I have no listen, disrespect for my trans sistors, but they are my trans sisters. All that I'm not I'm not following for it, So be mad at me. You know I don't care. Flame.

I don't even have to go to point hook Now I got to

follow that Twitter. Oh there you go. Hey, thank you dj Mby, Thank you Angela, thank you, Sean Shan, thank you fella. Y'all asked no question, listen, Oh gosh report its breakfast club. Well. Young Blue detailed his whole incident where he basically had a run in with Georgia officers. He accused them of racial profiling. Now he said that he was going to buy a trailer and he was inside Absolute Trailers. He was there for about ten minutes

and then an officer came on the scene. He was racially profiled, he says, by both the owner of Absolute Trailers as well as a female officer who was called to the location. He did a host about it, and he said they approached me and my team for absolutely nothing, trying to buy a trailer from my tour. The owner was an old white guy who called the police talking about they suspect fraud. I was just trying to buy a trailer. The first officers walk up with hands on guns. Damn,

they're drawn on us, saying what y'all doing here. We have a brief back and forth, and then as I leave, the cop is sitting in the middle of the highway waiting on us. They trap and get behind me. I say. They said my tag is obstructed, but she clearly had her lights on wait before she saw the back of my car. Five cars that pulled up on us since then saying we do fraud in all types of lies. I have more video, but I will use only as evidence. We did nothing wrong. And he did have this to say,

I'm a bad Absolute Trailers. They just profiled it out of us, called the police were looking at trailers. I'm up til trying to find a trailer for tour, and they called the police on us just for looking at trailers, talking about they had a bad running last week, and what that running gotta do with me. I'm here to buy a trailer. I'm an artist. I make a lot of money trying to buy this legally. The hell you're

calling the police for me? For right? And then he also called out the police, not just the trailer company, for profiling him as well. She pulled me over. She was in front of me, pulled her lights all in front of me. They profiled me at the store when I came down and they plotted on me. So I came down the street, she put her lights over the fol I even she even saw my tag got behind me. She was already for suit of me when she hit the turn. So how do you know my tagles expected

when you ain't even get by, right? And then he did end up getting arrested, and he gave an update. He said, I'm all right back for fam, thank y'all. Yeah, I mean, listen that Biggest missed his blessing because he let his prejudice is getting the way of his paper. Young Blue got the cash you wanted that trailer for tour. You know that that guy would have got that money, but not now, And that's good. You know who's who, because I wouldn't want to give my money to a

big got it all. You know. It's interesting because sometimes right when have you ever been in a store and felt like you were being profiled? Happens? Old tough, go ahead now, I was gonna say, And then what do you do? You say, I'm not bringing my business here? Or do you try to buy something to prove to them that? It depends in what situation. Sometimes I go to a different salesperson, um that that the dude wasn't following me. Or sometimes I bring my business someplace else.

I've done that many a time. I've definitely seeing people do that stupid stuff. I hate when they do that. They get mad at the store, the store owner and be like, I'm a watch this, I buy this whole store. Then you spend approval point. Sometimes you go to a different salesperson. You know, um, this could have been your money. Nah, Even when I when I'm like, you know, I purchased vehicles a lot. Like. The first thing I do is I look for a brother in the store to help

me out, a brother sister to help me out. And if somebody's doing something, I go to somebody that that decided to help me. And I will issue on a person that's just looking stupid for not helping me. But you're still giving the stall of money though. Start I got to do it as the salesperson. Salesperson, don't eat all for that. I'd rather like give the whole store nothing. The whole store gotta stuff and for the sins of

this bigger at salesperson. All right, now, jay Z and Beyond, people are upset at them for posing with this rare Basciat painting. And also they did that to sell a Tiffany diamond. There's a new ad campaign featuring jay Z and Beyonce. It's called about Love. And when you say people tell me who these people are, let's social media. Definitely social media. I saw a van Lathan posted, am I the only one that's mildly annoyed when they see so and so billion dollar black celebrity partnering with one

hundred year old white brand? And he said, is it just me? And there was it. You need a nad Van that's too woke. Okay, sometimes when you two woke, you know, you say strange things. But see, like, come on, I can't. I can never understand why people will get mad at Jay and Beyonce. Now I understand, but they do so much for the community. So you could say, Okay, let's say they got a hundred million dollar check, but

how much did they always give back every year? And the fact that they heard ahead tell the story why they upset. They're set for two reasons. One heard for the blood diamonds and what's the other one? Um, I guess, And so what I'm trying to gather because when I first saw this, I didn't know what was going on, so I had to dig deeper into it. But Van Lathan said to Harvey and elevate black luxury brands only forever,

so we can actually have black luxury brands. The longer we build the mystique and value of brands that have exploited us, the more we missed out on their wealth for us. Are we prisoners at the moment? Because didn't everybody just give Beyonce props because she was walking around with the black bag? What's the black bag, called ye black bag exactly how quick do we forget? Like literally, this was just like a week ago, and everybody was

maybe a couple of weeks ago. Everybody was bigging her up in the bag sold out, why can't you do both? I didn't see that. I saw you didn't. They were mad because they were saying that Tiffany's diamonds are blood diamonds and they heard out answers to get the diamonds. So I've seen they were mad about that. Then I've seen they were mad about the Bosky Yott. Now they never showed a bosk yot and that's not what Boskyot would have wanted. Well, how does anybody know we're talking about? Yeah,

that's what they said. What a y'all talking about? I have no idea what you're talking That's why people were mad. Those are the reasons yesterday that I see. Well, yeah, it was it never before seeing Bosk yet that they were posing in front of so and she's also the first black woman to wear the iconic Tiffany diamond. So the diamond that she has on is iconic. It's a one hundred and twenty eight carrot Tiffany diamond, and the company acquired it back in eighteen seventy eight, they rarely

put it on display. Arjie Hepper and Warred and Breakfast at Tiffany's and Lady God got Warred to the twenty nineteen Academy Awards. So she's only the fourth woman and the first black woman to wear that diamond in more than a century. I just don't understand why you can't do both, because literally we just saw, like I mean, by the way, Beyonce and jay Z both elevate black brands with this bag. And by the way, and Tiffany is also pledging two million dollars towards scholarship and internship

programs for HBCU. Say all right, well that is your rumor report. Parking. Yeah, you're gonna find a lot to park, as sayall called a lot. Now it's too far. I think it's so far enough.

O's bed Vasilian? Okay, he needs to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a world let's the name,

and I think it's ours, bed Varsilion. You just said it twice. It sounds like a luxury breaks bed Varsilion. I think I'm fair. All right. When we come back, let's get into it as a breakfast club. Good boarder, the breakfast club. Your mornings will never be the same. Hey, it's a girl angela yea. And we can all use a break from time to time. My friends at the General Insurance believe that sometimes a little break goes a long way. That's why they make it easy to get

reinstated after a laps in coverage. Plus they'll work with you to help keep you covered and always treat you with respect. Take a closer look at the general called eight hundred General. I'll go to the General dot com. Some restrictions apply, bro a great low rate in nearly sixty years of quality coverage. Make the right call and go with the General. Don't be out here acting like a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a big boy. I could take it if you feel

I deserve it. Ain't no big deal. I know Charlotmagny got guts, funnishly. You gotta say something you may not agree with. Doesn't mean I'm needing. He's getting that donkey that donkeys that don't don't don't don't don't donkey other day right there to breakfast club bitches. You can call me the donkey of the day, but like I mean no harm. Yeah, it's donkey here today for Tuesday, August twenty fourth goes to a thirty one year old man named Oster Bed But silly Yon, Did I pronounced that right?

Played it for me? Right Bed for Sillian? Okay, definitely sounds like a luxury brand. All right here is from Fresno, California, and he was cited from misdemeanor hitting right now, they're a conflicting reports about what happened in this situation, meaning conflicting reports about how the accident happen. And okay, let's go to KMJ now for the report. Police. Police say a driver crashes into two cars Monday morning in northwest Fresno because he was distracted. It was around ten fifteen.

Police say the man pulled down his pants while driving and started to self pleasure in the area of Herndon and Riverside Drive. His car crashed near the market place at El Paseo Shopping Center. Please say, then, thirty one year old asbed Vassilian got out of the vehicle and walked away from the scene. A Fresne County Sheriff's deputy located him at a nearby Dickie's Barbecue. Police sighted Vasilian for misdemeanor hit and run. Yes, you heard correct, A

masturbating motorist. Okay, an Uber Beats driver named osbed Vasilian who was caught at a nearby Dickie's barbecue after getting into a car accident because he was shaking hands with the milkman at ten fifteen am in the morning. Now, I told you it was conflicting reports because some reports say he was cooking cucumbers wild driving. Other reports say he was playing five on one after the acting. Let's

go to kmphox twenty six for a report. Police thirty one year old Osbed Vassilian hit two cars near Herndon and Riverside, then got out of his car and walked off. The Sheriff's office says he also pulled down his pants and started masturbating in broad daylight. By the crash, a deputy detained him near a Dickey's barbecue. No one was hurt, though American Ambulance did show up to make sure everyone was okay. Vassilian's car was towed away from the area.

He was sighted for misdemeanor hit and run. One of the men who was hit posted about it on TikTok. He caught video of Vassilian appearing to touch himself and it's all right there before he walked off away from police, going right through traffic and nearly getting hit by two different cars turning on the Riverside. I know TikTok took that video down and listen. It doesn't matter if he was painting the pickle inside the car outside the car.

The fact remained that he was found near a Dickey's barbecue. This he isn't lost on me. In fact, it sounds like he was dropping off the main ingredient to that Alabama white barbecue as but that's another story. Listen. Do they still make stick shift cars? Yes? Okay, so they're still stick shift cars out here, because he may want to get one, all right. That that that's you know, that's that's what Upside needs. He needs a stick shift

car and a sexual partner. Okay, he clearly misses or has never experienced the joy of using a clutch, pedal and gear shift to guide a car through all its gears. Okay, if you have a certain age, you know, like me, this story doesn't surprise you because if you forty year up and you black, you should absolutely positively remember when stick shifts all across the country were sexualized because Tray Styles decided to lie on his penis. Listen, can you drive stick? I can learn if you teach me. Envy

ask me if I know how to drive stick. Envy asked me if I know how to drive stick? Leonard, do you know how to drive a stick? My name is Lenard? Ask me nice Leonard, do you know how to drive a stick shift car? No? But I do know that when I'm stuck in park, someone has to stand behind my car and check my brains. So stand behind me, Envy, and check my damn break legs. Now back to Osbed, All right, back to Osbed in the

hand of gland combat he was engaging NC. We all know that when your card jerks while you're accelarating, it's probably a problem. But when the driver of the car is jerking while the car is accelarating, it's definitely a problem. Okay. Dirty fuel injectors are among the most common reasons for why an accelerator becomes jerky, and Cameron's pink horsepower is among the most common reasons for why a driver becomes jerky. There's absolutely no reason to be holding your sausage hostage

while you're driving. Okay. There is also no reason for you to fire your apprentice standing outside your car after said accident. This is what happens when you take that extra script for Royal Honey pack the night before and things don't go with's playing. Okay. You can't just be taking Royal Honey VIP if you don't have a for short thing lined up. You ends up like Osped. Okay, you're on a date with fifty Palmer buttering your carn calling down for more. Man, he ain't that ten fifteen

in the morning. My god, Now I don't have anything else to stay here other than the car that the accident was clearly because Osped was distracted with man. How do we know that this case isn't new evidence that masturbation does indeed cause blindness. Let's discuss. But in the meantime, please give Osped Basilian the sweet sounds of the Hamiltones. Oh, now you are the doge the day, do gee, oh the day. Ye all right, well, thank you for that donkey today, Yes, ma'am, all right, when we come back,

let's open up the phone. LUNs eight five eight five one five one. Now we reported a story in the room as about jay Z and Beyonce. What is the story again, Angelo yee. People are upset with them for this whole Tiffany campaign that they're doing, and also for having a rare Bascia painting that they're posed with in this ad campaign. I don't believe that people are really I believe I don't believe social media I don't believe

in social media at all. I don't think in the real world outside of that virtual reality that is social media, people give a damn about it. I've seen yesterday upset. I was trying to figure out why, because that's why I had to dig deeper into it. I was like, okay, I was confused, to be honest about a couple different reasons. The reasons one was they said that Tiffany's has blood

diamonds and their promoting blood diamonds. Now, I did one quick Google Google search thirty seconds ago, and Tiffany said they don't have conflict. That was literally, that's literally on their website. It actually says, yes, we have taken rigorous steps to assure that conflict diamonds do not into our inventory. As global leaders and sustainable luxury, Tiffany and Company has committed to sourcing natural and preshness materials and ethical and

sustainable manner. Then they said that Bascuyout painting, that Jay z Behind and his vascuy Out Paintings are mad about painting. I got my house and I didn't let y'all see they said, that's my house, that's not that's not what what basket. I don't believe this. I don't believe people really mad about this. I just think this is social And then he said he's trying to take bascyard style. I can exceed yard in Dade County, Miami, niggas. I can see that. You can see that. I can see

that with holes head, I can see that. Stop. I see that. I can see eight hundred five eight five one on five water people taking this too far? Is this getting ridiculous? Now? Come on, I don't believe it's real. That's why I like going up the phone line, because the radio listeners are real. Social media is not. You think it's bots that just make that stuff. That's right, yo, shut eight five eight five one oh fives, talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, your phone call in

right now. Call me at your opinion to the Breakfast Club topic breaking down. Eight hundred five eight five one five one the Breakfast Club. It's topic time the phone called eight hundred five eight five one oh five one to join it to a discussion with the Breakfast Club. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you just joined us. Angeline reported something about Hodro Beyonce in the room which

you want to break it down? Yeasy, Yes, jay Z and Beyonce they are doing an ad campaign with Tiffany the Fame Jewelers, and in this ad we see that Beyonce's wearing the thirty million dollars Tiffany yellow diamond necklace. That's a stone that only four other women have worn before at all period. I think they acquired that stone, they said, back in like eighteen seventy seven or something like that, so it's worth thirty million dollars. But people

were upset why, I don't know. They were mad. They said, jay Z behind his Baskett paintings, which is his paintings, it's his painting. I bought it. It's in my house. They said, that's not what Baskett would have look wanted. Then they said that, well, I don't know that it's jay Z's painting. I think it's Tiffany's painting. I don't know who's painted it. Yeah, they said they had acquired it, which had been in the possession of a private collector

since the early eighties. But even still, regardless of whose painting it is, it's my painting. Why are you upset that you didn't see my painting that I paid for you. I got a lot of paintings in my house, so I have to put them on Instagram for y'all to see. No, what are we talking about? No, you can't see none of them. Also, they were mad about the blood diamonds. They said that Tiffany be messed with blood diamonds. But allegedly I googled on Tiffany's website, they say, Otherwise, did

y'all read that? Yep, I've seen that. Shouldn't we put that out there for the people we did? Let me read it again real quick. It's just real quick. It just says what did it say? Day said? We have taken rigorous steps to assure that conflict diamond do not enter our inventory. As global leaders and sustainable luxury, Tiffany and Company has committed to sourcing natural and precious materials in an ethical and sustainable manner. So where did that

story even come from? And Tiffany, by the way, it's donating two million dollars to our scholarship and interestship programs for HBCUs. That's good. I feel like it should be more. But that's good. I mean, listen, and by the way, I'm only saying it should be more with no knowledge of what they're working with. Money was no no. And also, you know, people said that Hovey is trying to take baske y'all style. He's definitely doing that. The hairs, Miami

Dade County dudes and Bosky Yacht. That's where jay Z gets his head styled from. But that's neither here nor there. The one thing I fundamentally disagree with is something we discussed last hour where they said that you should elevate luxury black brands. I could have sworn. Beyonce and jay Z do that quite often, and I could have sworn just a couple of weeks ago, didn't Beyonce cause a black luxury bag to sell out? Yeah? That was last week though, what was the name of it, Telfair? That

was last week? People forget, why are we such prisoners? The prisoners at the moment, I can't a couple that does so much for our community. It's crazy. They got Tiffany to donate two million dollars. They invest in our community, and I teld you, guys, I was trying to figure out what the issue was because I wasn't one hundred percent sure on why it was trending, and white people

were upset about it. But then I went and looked at what Van Lathan wrote, and he posted on am I the only one that's mildly annoyed when they see so and so billion dollar black celebrity partnering with the one hundred year old white brand. Is it just me guy? You spoke to him? Oh yeah, but I ain't talking about that yesterday. But what do we want as black people? Like and by the way, I want to know what's the better way? Like what's wrong with partnering with institutions?

Like I don't get it, Like we can't have all these conversations about equity and ownership and building black capital, but then don't want to do business, Like why can't we do business the way everybody else does business? Literally everybody else. It's strange to me. And if and if you're and if you're if you're retort to that is, but we should be building up our own I literally saw this bag that I never heard of telfare sell out, yes, because Beyonce Ward a couple of weeks ago. So what

are we talking about? I got family members that ordered it and asked me if I can get one, and I told them they got ordered. On what are we talking about? I don't know? Hello, who's this all? Right? Hey? Nikki wanting what's your thoughts on everybody talking about J and B. I just think that I can see both sides. I can see how some people can be upset where you stand for everything that's black, black leadership, black entrepreneurship, black power. However, you partner with some of you look

as a predominantly white institutions. But that I can see whearing you partner those institutions because you would like to spread your message to a go on the audience. No, are you just making what you're You're making your black owned business stronger. Now you got more capital and more resources to higher more black people and put more black

people in position. And if we're trying to get our companies to scale so we can be one of these Fortune five hundred companies, these are the partnerships that have to happen. Absolutely, absolutely, that's just my point as thinking of black entrepreneurship. I'm promoting, like, do you mind if I get my sisters shout out? I just wanted to shout out my system. I can nithem parents saying that she's about leaders in motion next the best in the world.

She thought behind us. She's so strong. I want to be just like her when I grow up. And also too, Why don't y'all just congratulating Rihanna last week on becoming a billionaire. Why don't y'all just congratulating lebron on becoming a billionaire? Yeah? How do you think they got there? Partnering up with rihannas with LBMH yep? And what are we talking about so many different companies? Yeah? Absolutely, y'all are strange. One five one, we're talking J and B.

What are your thoughts at the breakfast club? Call me and your opinions to the Breakfast Club top on one morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now if you just joined us, we're talking about jay Z and Beyonce. Now, people, some people were upset with them for what reason? You just because they've done this ad? But Tiffany and in that ad, Beyonce's wearing a thirty million dollar Tiffany diamond and they're

posing with a rare bask Yat. So people are mad that they said that, you know, they're dealing with a company that deals with with blood diamonds, and that's not true. Charlemagne just read that they said they don't Well, I'm just reading what's on their website. I don't know what's trun was not true. I just know Tiffany and Company says they've taken rigorous steps to assure that conflict diamonds

do not into our inventory. As global leaders and sustainable luxury, Tiffany and Company has committed to sourcing natural and precious materials and an ethnico and sustainable manner. That's what they said. The Bosky Yat I don't understand why y'all mad that I own something and having to let y'all see it. It's mine, it's mine. How can you say things like, uh, this is not what bosk y'all would have wanted. How

do you know? Who? Do we have? The letter that Boskuyat wrote that said that they also were mad that they said jay Z's try to look like basket that I agree with stopping that in Miami Dade County and Yat Hair Stylish fans have a case there that is a fact. Hello, who's this? This is trash? Good morning, what's your thought? Trash? Okay? So I think the issue is that they never have a role out campaign. Let announce what they're doing, right, They just appear show something

and now people get a chance to critique it. They could have came out and says we're gonna do this with Tiffany, it's a showcase black luxury and that we can be a part of this. Or what did announce it? Announced this like last week? Didn't they Why is he no announcement? Yeah, they didn't do a good announcement, because this is louder than their announcement. Now, I will say when I saw the pictures yesterday, I didn't know what the pictures before. I just was looking like, oh, it's

cool pictures of Beyonce and Jay. I just thought they was out of some blacks. Right. The campaign came out on Sunday, right, But you see, now you had an announcement. But but this, the critique is louder than the announcement. And my second point is the amount of money that Tiffany is donating. Now we know that family owns a lot, they have a lot of money. They are like the fifth on the list, right, the billionaires. Right, If McKenzie Basos can donate forty millions to HBCUs, why are they

only donating two millions like that? That that's nothing. Hey, I'm with you now, Listen. I'm with you as a person who has donated a quarter million dollars of my own money. You know at one time I've actually done way more than that. But but you can't tell people what they're doing it and how much. She's saying that never sounds like it does sound like Tiffany, remember it does. They don't know what else they donating, That's true, but we gotta put we do need to put pressure on

these companies at all times donating something else. By the way, if I'm Tiffany and Company or any of these fortune five hundred companies, I wouldn't want to put that number out there. I wouldn't want to say I'm only donating too for Tiffany and Company US only. But we don't know what else they though. But they can say it. You want to quiet the noise, because Listen's right. The truth is they bought it to Space and jay Z

got the advertising as a part of that. Because it's the same family, right, they own all of the stuff Blue resign. I don't know if that, I don't know. I don't know. Let's not look them up. They are not family. I don't know all of that. They need to space they Oh yeah, yeah, I thought you were talking about Tiffany and Company too. Yes that we know, Yes, and Tiffany is value that approximately five billion dollars. Come on, now, give a little more. We don't know what we're with her.

You got to stop. No, no, can tell somebody that I'm with her. I'm with you on that with you and it basically brought us a bottle in the campaign. And I agree with band Late. I agree with Bandily, and I think they reach a point their black loyalty. Now, um, everything doesn't have to be something they're paid for. They can do something. I I disagree with Van because two weeks ago, Beyonce was spotted out with a tell Flare bag, and Beyonce is always bigging up black designers and jay

Z's definitely always bigging up black creative. So I definitely disagree. I think you can do both. Thank you, Mama for anybody in this room. Turning down to Tiffany's endorsement situation. I would because I don't wear diamonds. There's someone to diamonds and Tiffany b well, I wouldn't even know that. See that, that's exactly what I don't need to be doing it. It's not just diamonds. What else they said episode jewelry ain't really that type of person. They said,

you have jewelry or NOVI how you know it's real? Right? And by the way, I have a nice, simple anchor because it keeps me grounded. All right, this is for spiritual purpose. I've seen you with a Malcolm X change. I've seen spiritual purpose. Its spirit a spirit I don't think they have. Okay to my guy greg Una, all right, but the moral of the stories, it would never seem to amaze me how much people speak on things they

know nothing about with such confidence, including me. And also, I'm a picket smith went Free knows called us on bias, so don't listen to me. Okay, we got rumors of the way. Yes, Marlon Wayans, let's talk about what he's doing next, what he's going to be starring and producing. All Right, we'll get into that next. It's the breakfast Club,

Good Morning, the Breakfast Club. This is the Rumor Report with Angela ye well Sanaa Latham was on Jamale Hills Unbothered is Unbothered podcast and she was talking about her role of Monica and loving basketball. She almost didn't want to do the role. She felt really discouraged and people around her were also discouraging her from taking that role. She said, everybody told her to drop out. Here's what

she said. Every time I thought that it was time to get the job, she would throw in another basketball player. And that became very emotionally, really hard. And it went on for months and months, and everybody in my life said, you gotta drop out. She doesn't want You're not going to get the job. And then this woman, Debbie said to me, She's like, you're working out, you're learning a new skill. You love acting. Just do it for the fun.

Stop worrying about getting the job. It was a huge lesson for me because as soon as I let go and I was like, you know what, I'm just gonna have fun and I'm going to learn basketball, and if I get it, I get it. If I don't, that's when I got the job. Well, thank god. Oh so it's not like, you know, she had the role and didn't want to do it and people were discouraging her.

She was auditioning, she knew how to play basketball, Yeah, she was auditioning, but she didn't feel like she could do the role because all these other basketball players who she should have been playing basketball like since they came out the womb or auditioning. So she was just ready to not do it and she felt like she should just not even buy the trying, and people were discouraging her from taking on that role, and they were telling her to drop out and that she wasn't going to

get the job, so stop trying, but she persevered. Oh, just a prime example of you'll never miss out on what's meant for you never. All right now, money bag Yo, it has the highest selling rap album of twenty twenty one, So congratulations to him. Yes, seven hundred and seventy seven thousand. Who do you think is number two? J Cole Is number two, was number two at one point at Psha's number three, and then Polo G, then Rod Waved and Doja Cat, Little Baby and Little Dirt, Little TJ and

then Slime Language two and DJ catlt. I've been saying all year long, man, the best rappers are from Memphis. The best rappers have absolutely positively been from have been from MEMPHISO money back, YO and Pushas to being in the top three, don't surprise me at all, all right. A judge has increased Tory Lane's bail for violating a protective order that was granted to Megan the Stallion. He appeared on the Rolling Loud stage in Miami. Shortly after

her performance. His bill was bumped up from one hundred and ninety thousand to two hundred and fifty thousand. He's also now prohibited from attending any events where she will be present as well. So the judge made it clear this is his last warning. If there's another violation, then he will be remanded into custody all right now. On an episode of the Road Tripping podcast, Kendrick Perkins said that if he could fight somebody in a celebrity boxing match,

here's who it would be. If I had one guy, and he's not even my former teammate, but he feels like that I've talked, and I feel like he talked. It's Draymond Green. Like if I had to get in the ring and really put these paws on somebody, it would be Draymond Green. But I really think he don't want that smoke. And history tells me that he really don't want this smoke. What history. Yeah, I don't know. You don't know their history. Something missing. I don't know.

I don't I don't know if Draymond back down from a fight or something. I don't know. What was the context of that conversation again that yeah, they were. He was just talking about who he would pick if he was doing a celebrity box somebody, who would it be? And that's who he said it would be. And yeah, there you have it all right now.
