Let me tell y'all, if this outlets you, you've been at the Envy. They tell me they haven't seen you in a while. Yeah, because it's COVID. I've been outside. It's like you're traveling right now.

You can go to stores, but I don't really go out like that. I'm just a vaccinated thing. But I don't know how to vcinate. Thing is working. I don't know if they've given you a VP treatment just because you vaccinated. Yeah, I'm saying for yourself to go out. Part of the reason why you get vaccinated is that you feel a

little bit somewhere. I do, but I still keep it to where I need to be aware. I have to go from working. I'll go out, vacation, I'll go out, but I'm just not randomly shopping. Well, I took my mom shopping. That's what she wanted to do, So I took her shopping. Congratulations the mama from coming up yesterday. She did. She had to guess. She was very happy.

let's get the show cracking. Now. We got some guests joining us today. Well, Lucas, Will Lucas. Will Lucas is an entrepreneur. He's a content creator.

So this will be a very informative interview for you this morning. If you want to know where you might want to invest some money and things of that nature, Will Lucas is your guy.

All right, well, let's get the show cracking. Front page News. What we're talking about. Well, we are, of course going to give a rest in peace to comedian Paul Mooney this morning. All right, Well we'll get into that, and it's the Breakfast Local morning a morning everybody in stj Envy Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are to breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news where we start NBA playoffs. Last night I watched a game and a half.

I didn't see no player. I watched the Grigglies in San Antonio last night, and I watched the first half of the Warriors Lakers. All right, well, the Grizzlies he beat the Spars one hundred ninety six and the Lakers beat the Warriors one hundred three to one hundred. Great game. Even though I didn't see the second half, it looked good on social media this morning. All right, Now, comedian Paul Mooney has passed away at the age of seventy nine. So sad rest in peace to Paulmoney and of course

our condolences to his family and his close friends. He's best known for working with Richard Pryor, and according to his family, he died Wednesday morning at his home in Oakland. They said the paramedics tried unsuccessfully to revive him after he was suffering from a heart attack, and they also said he's been suffering from dementia for some time, and he was staying with a family member. We also know him, of course, for writing credits from Sanford and Sun and

Live in Color. He was the head writer on The Richard Pryor Show. He wrote a few episodes of Pryor's plays. You know him from The Chappelle Show. He played Sam Cook in the nineteen seventy eight film The Buddy Holly Story, June Bug and Spike Lee's Bamboozled, And of course he was on The Chappell Show as well. Hey man, nothing better than being at the Paul Mooney show. I've been in several in my life, and and and watching the walk out. I love watching white people walk out because

they can't handle Pa. He's true, Carolines and yes as well, so many people, so many white people, are hilarious, hilarious. He does not care. He does not care. And then his book Black is the New White, a very great read if you've never read it. We had Paul Mooney on The Breakfast Club back in two thousand eleven, one eleven, two thousand, eleven one, two eleven, twenty years ago, we never aired it. I still don't know why we didn't

hear it. I meant to watch it. I actually our producers sent it to me yesterday, but I didn't watch it. More I the budio wasn't that good either. I thought it was. Don't know, it's like thirty minutes long. Yeah, thirty minutes long, all right? And supporters of Michaela Miller pushing back on that suicide ruling for her. As you recall, she is a teenager from Massachusetts whose death last month had people in the small town that she called home

very confused about what happened. They are saying that she died by suicide according to the medical examiner, but her mother wants to find out the truth. She said, the only thing I went out of all of this is to find the truth. The conclusion they made yesterday as far as the suicide ruling, her mother said, it is the conclusion they made the first day they walked into my house. There is no difference. But I know the

truth and it's not what they say. It was a jagger that discovered Michaela's body in the woods near her apartment complex, and they are saying she died by asphyxiating herself. She was only sixteen years old, sophomore in high school. There was a belt around her neck, which they determined was not her belt, nor was it her mother's belt. The belt that this seems did not belong to her

or her mom. She underwent an independent autopsy. Those results were not made available, but Benjamin Crump, the attorney, said he expects results from the family's autopsy to be released sooner rather than later. But they did say earlier this month, she was in an altercation. On the afternoon prior to the discovery of her body, she had an altercation with two other teens, a male and a female. They scuffled

at her apartment complex. There were five teams in total with her earlier that afternoon, and her mother had actually called and said that her daughter had been jumped, that she did have a bloody lip, and then a jagger found her body steps away from her home. Well, if it wasn't her belt, can't they check the belt for DNA. We don't know the results of any of that yet, So yeah, they are still ruling that it was a suicide.

And of course her mom and close friends and family do not feel that they're investigating this, and they felt a large part of it is the fact that she's a black woman, and you know, they're very quick to just say, okay, she killed herself instead of trying to really dig deeper into what could have happened. Yeah, especially I check the belt for DNA. See whose DNA ends up on the belt, and she's She was also gay, and so they also feel like maybe her sexuality her

identity also influenced investigators to just kind of write it off. Yankes, we send in healing energy to what's her last name? MICHAELA. Miller, the Miller family. Absolutely all right, well that is front page news. Get it off your chest eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you need to vent, hit us up right now, phone line to wide open.

You can't win on the street with that police officer, but at least when you make it home, you have an opportunity to

win in court. My dad us to say the same thing. Yeah, I'm not telling him the curse cops out and fight cops. All I'm simply saying is you do have rights as a black person in this country. You do.

I'm a huge fan of Ea. Lute to Lisa Ray to Respect at the deadal Purpose. Okay, all right, now, Aretha Franklin that biopic Respect with Jennifer Hudson playing her. They have released the official trailer so here it is. Singing is sacredly and you shouldn't do it just because somebody wants

you to. What's most important is that you are treated with dignity and respect. Especially, you have a talent they called genius. Think about trying to do how old this shit? Just tim but the voice is going on further. Une, man, I can't wait to see that that movie is actually gonna come out on August thirteenth. I'm going to the theaters for that one and after one, that's the one that's a proved by the family with Jennifer Hudson. Right. Yes,

Artha Franklin is aware of this. She wanted Jennifer Hudson to play her, so this would be great and Jennifer Hudson does an amazing job. Yeah, I hope so. I mean, you know, whenever I see movies, Yeah, whenever I see those movies like that, I always think about Ray. Ray is the ray and what's love got to do with it? Is the bar for me when it comes to those kind of movies. So that's I hope it doesn't does it justice? Yeah? I love movies like that, and you

know that the movies. I like the Doors. They had a really good one. Um. Of course, Purple Rain to me is the epitome all right now. Jocelyne Hernandez, you ever recall when she was on Wendy and things got a little bit heated on the show. Let's flash back to that. And when people come in your show, especially black culture, you should be nicer to us, the ladies. You should give us her flys what we're here, and you should tell us how proud you are of what

we've done in the streets. Well, I'm not proud of all. Now. Can we get back to the show at hand. But you have nothing to say about what my feeling. I just said what I said. I don't apologize for anything. This is what I do. You only do it to the young black Spanish shorts coming up, you don't do it to anybody else. It's sure, here's a flower, come on,

all right. Well, Joscelyn Hernandez has done an interview with Entertainment tonight and whether or not she would have a discussion with Wendy or forgive her for what she said. Here's what she said. You know, I think she wanted to talk to me, like the first day that it happened, and I was like, I don't want to talk to

that bidh. I think that work when she threw the flowers at me, when she was being real disrespectful and not acknowledging the fact that when latinas and black woman sit on her couch, she comes out with a gun, right, but she don't give me my props. But you always want to compare me with people, and and I think she does said to every person that's of color, because she doesn't want nobody of color to be better than her.

I wonder what reaction Jocelyn wanted from Wendy, though, Like after Joscelyn said what she said to Wendy, how does she want Wendy to reply? Seems like she had an expectation of how she expected Wendy to reply and didn't get it. So I wonder what she wanted her to say. I'm trying to do better, yea, I was thinking an apology, like it seems like all right now. Wendy y'a also, by the way, posted the picture of her feet and

talked about the disorder that she has. It is called lymphoedema and it is characterized by an abnormal accumulation of limp fluid and the tissues of an extremity or other body part. So she said her doctor, doctor Laurie, is the French lady who's helping me live with lymphadema. She scrubs and understands, my disease is not curable, only manageable. Oh yes, I'm wearing a sequence dress. Why not? Yeah,

I saw those pictures. I think that the reason they look like that is because Wendy already has like a big foot, you know what I mean, So you put the disease on top of that. That's why it looks the way a little bit. Yeah, it doesn't seem like she could ever wear any sneaker or high heels. She gotta be flip flops us. Yeah, something comfortable because geeh. All right, well I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Missy. What are you

thinking about? Why are you thinking like that? Charlomagne? Because I don't know why you put them pictures in the group chat last night. I don't know if you've seen them pictures, you knowing the whole group at all. I was not on my phone. I have to get back to everybody. But I purposely spent the day with my mother not on the phone, and I didn't know what they was. I was like, what is this? You know you had to zoom in and see what this is

our feet, My goodness, all right, front page news. Next, what we're talking about, Well, let's talk about Ronald Green. He's a black man who died after a pursuit by Louisiana State please back in twenty nineteen. And it looks like they have released some of this video, but it's really difficult to watch. His family has filed the federal wrongful death suit in twenty twenty, and we'll give you some information on what happened. It's definitely heartbreaking, all right,

all right, we'll get to that next. And there's no positive news at all, nothing positive nothing, nothing, nothing at all. No, you know, help people get justice too and bring attention. All right, it's the Breakfast Club. Go Morning, So Breakfast Club, Your morning's will never be the same. You want to elevate your sleep right now.

Let's getting some front page news. We were starting you, well, let's start with Ronald Green. He's a black man who died after being pursued by the Louisiana State Police. Has happened back in twenty nineteen, and they have released some body camera video to the Associated Press. There were three

clips that were posted. They're just over two minutes in length, and the video says, by the way, the whole thing was forty six minutes long, so people have not seen this original video. We don't know what else is in these unpublished parts of the video, but Ronald Green died after struggling with law enforcement. In the video, and the officer approaches his vehicle with the weapon drawn and says, let me see your effing hands, m effer. And that's

when Green's car door is open. You can hear a taser and Green is saying, okay, I'm sorry, I'm scared, officer, I'm scared. I'm your brother, I'm scared. As he's taking out of the taken out of the vehicle and another video clip, they're forcing him onto the ground and an officer says taser, taser, and you can hear Green screaming and then after being tased, he's moaning on the ground

being put in handcuffs. Another officer is kicking him. Then you hear another officer saying, I've got blood all over me. I hope this guy ain't got fffing aids. Then he's left lying face down, moaning for more than nine minutes while officers are using sanitizer wipes to wash blood off

their hands and faces and us. You know. Then after that there was a struggle, And all they said all this time, by the way, was that he died while in custody, So there was no end of the initial reports, no story about any of these other things happening after he was arrested or taken into custody. This is why we have to keep pushing the line on the George Floyd Policing Act. A ball is qualified immunity. The only

reason cops are doing this is because they can. It's really that simple, right, So two officers and he died on the way to the hospital. He was taken into custody after resisting arrest and a struggle with troopers. That's all the reports said. By the way, I just wonder how you lose like like like your humanity for people like it's a human I would think that you got to be some type of sociopath to treat other humans

in that way. Someone's on the ground and handcuffs, being tased, you're kicking them, they're bleeding, you leave them on the floor. What else supposed to do? Like at one pointing I'm scared, he said, I'm your brother. I'm saying, at what point did your human conscience kick in and say, all right, I'm doing too much? Not Two officers involved in this incident were reprimanded that night, and one of the officers

is on administrative leave because of a separate incident. The other got a fifty hour suspension, and a third officer died in a single vehicle crash in September. So the family has filed a wrongful death suit that was filed on May sixth last year, saying that he was brutalized. You know how that happened, Charlomagne, Like you said, because look less than That's when you see somebody and they look less than you, they don't put you on the same level as them. That's how they can do somebody

like that. Okay. Now, a teacher in Idaho who the one who disarmed a sixth grader after she opened fire at a school earlier this month, is speaking for the first time. Christa Nighting. She is a math teacher at Rigby Middle School and she was preparing her students for their finals on the morning of May six when she heard a gunshot from down the hall. Now, she said, I told my students were going to leave, and here's what she said happened. It was a little girl and

my brain couldn't quite grasp that. And so I looked at her and I just quietly said, are you the shooter? And she just watched me, and I just walked up to her and I put my hand over her hand, and I just slowly pulled the gun out of her hand and she allowed me to And then after I got the gun, I just pulled her into a hug with a been a little whig girl. Now, the sixth grade student actually wounded two students in one adult, according to the Jefferson County sarf's office, was the shoot a

little wig girl. Yeah, a little girl with a gun shooting people and they walk up to it to take the gun. And when you think about Makaya Bryant, right, you're telling me that a math teacher can disarm a student with a gun. A math teacher a student with a gun, but a training cop can't disarm a young girl with a knife. Now. Kristin Knighting also said that

she held the girl after that. After a little while, the girl started talking to me, and I could just really tell she was very unhappy, and I just kept hugging her and loving her and trying to let her know that we're going to get through this together. And so I looked at her and I just said, he needs to put you in handcuffs. And she didn't respond. She just led him, and he was very gentle and very kind, and he just went ahead and took her and put her in the police car. Salute to that

teach you what's her name, Kristin Knighting. Salute to Christa Knighting. You did a great job, Christia. She had to know that young girl. I don't know. I mean, it's just it's just wild that a math teacher can disarm him a student with a gun, but a trained cop couldn't disarm him a young girl with a knife. Now, she said. When the police came, she told the girl, you know, he's got to put you in handcuffs. And she said the police officer was very gentle and very kind of

course that's how I know, yo? What right? Ye know? They don't release the names of the sixth grader, and the girl's name has not been released. Oh you know is that she lives in Idaho Falls. I don't know where does the sixth grade to get the gun from? You know what I mean? Because parents supposed to have a gun locked up? And at six years old, do you know how to take the safety off a gun? Or nine years old? You can start going to the range in most places at eight. So yeah, maybe with

a handgun? Yeah? Eight in sixth grade? Are you nine years old? Sixth grade? No, you should be like eleven. I don't know, math man, I have little sixes. She wasn't a teenager. Jay z lyrics that vacation. He said, I got more sixes than um third grade. I got more sixes in third No, that wasn't it. You trying to do it too? All right, guys, that's your front page. Try to figured out from what Jay's lyrics was that

from the all you have to do is add five. Okay, you start school normally when you're around five years old. Six was five is eleven? No No six? First grade? No six is the first grade? Ye first grade the first grade seven eight, so third this is this what we got to get this together. You're at Hampton Alumni. I'm I'm a doctor from Shoth, Carolina. We have to get this together smarter than a sixth grader. That's how we do all ot stuff. We you know, we all

we know everything from jay Z Lyrics. That is very true. But you were totally got more sixties and then you had a rock got more sixes in third grade grades first you didn't know it. I had to think about it early. Oh no, it was earlier. Thanks jay Z Lyrics for you guys to understand how old a child is. No matter how we learned, as long as we learned. But as soon as I said, you know exactly what

I meant, Professor Sean Carter has taught us a lot. Definitely, right, all right, all right, all right, when we come back. Who's joining us? Man, somebody that is way swattered and everybody in this room. Okay. His name is Will Lucas. Will Lucas is an entrepreneur. He has a podcast called Black Tech Green Money. He's the marketing and production agent. He's a content creator and he can tell you where you need to be putting your money over the next

couple of years. So you're about to learn something, all right, we'll talk to him next to Dope Move. It's the Breakfast Club, Go Morning, the Breakfast Club to Dangerous Morning Show,

to Breakfast Club, Charlomagne and God Angela yee. I don't know where DJ Envy ran off too, but I mean this brother is uh that we haven't here today, is right up in vis Alley because you know, you got brothers like Envy and you know Caesar and you know Earn your Leisia and Wall Street Trapper and you know Angela even they're all, you know, pushing economic empowerment and finances and investments and all of that good stuff. And the good brother Will Lucas is here from the Black

Tech Green Money podcast. Good morning, Will, and good morning, good morning, and everybody tell us a little bit about yourself. Well why should we listen to you in regards to finances? Hey, you know brand manager afro Tech, which is the world's biggest black tech platform and uh digital platform and conference in the world. So I feel like I've been an entrepreneur in my whole life. I've started off in the

music business. I did radio for twelve years. Actually, wow, I thought I was going to be entrepreneur in the music business, but I found my way into entrepreneurship and technology very early in life. You have several media businesses, a content creator, so I feel like I got something to say and I feel like I've done the work. Also, so you're cheating. That's why your podcast. You got experience

in the broadcasting field, you know. I feel like, look, look, Steve Jobs, as this course said, you know, you can never connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards. So I feel like all the things that I've done led me to this moment. Absolutely. How did you start investing? Because I always think that's interesting because I think about how I had to learn about investing, and I feel like I started late in life, so

I'm playing catch up. But it's fascinating to me, and I wish I would have known what to do earlier and started earlier. Well, I would put it this way. I'm an investor into myself, and so I do own like a lot of investments. I have ethereum, bigcoin, the whole thing. But I'm an entrepreneur and so I'm invested

into my businesses more so than any other thing. I feel like, you know, the biggest investment you can make is into your own thing, whether or not you put you know, ten thousand dollars twenty thousand dollars to some other company, A lot of times that money can serve you better when you put it into your own self, your own education, and your own businesses, and you take that leap, you learn more about the opportunity for wealth creation and building legacy and anything that you want to do.

Then you can learn sometimes not all the time, but sometimes by investing in other things. Expelled on that a little bit more because you know, when people think investments, that's what they think, you know, by real estate, investing stock, get some big coin. But you said invest in yourself absolutely. I mean, I feel like, you know, take the leap on yourself. There's so many people who have the conversation about if if I had X, I would do why. I'm like, would just do why and figure it out

along the way, just just get in the game. So many people have ideas about things that they want to start businesses that they want to create, and they feel like something is holding them back. And at the end of the days, you holding yourself back. You know, you took a chance on yourself when you started your your radio career, you started you know it took a chance in your stuff when you started your care your juice bar.

I feel like, look, there's opportunities out here for everyone, and there's there's nothing that makes people who have done it more special than the people who have it, other than they took and gamble on themselves. And I feel like more people, more of us specifically, should take a gamble on ourselves because look, we have the keys, we have the look. Number one, Black women have sparticularly in the tech world, their startups feel at a lower rate

than every other startup. Every Black women startups feel at a lower rate than every other company. Why is that this because it is support their received from each other. No, it's because black women know how to do know how to make it work. Prepared black women. Black women you know have to make it work. You know, it's in the DNA. And so I feel like, you know, if we figure out ways to encourage each other and create ecosystem to support each other. We can all win in

this world. Wow. Yeah, because I always believe in taking an educated risk right and I try to do whatever I can to make sure that my business is straight before because sometimes I feel like people want you to invest in something, but they don't have it all together, and so they say, how I have this thing, can you, you know, help me with it? I need some money to get it started. I'm like, okay, well, can I see a business plan? Or who else are your partners?

How much have you invested in yourself? Like what is you doing? And a lot of times people don't have that together. So people will ask me like can you invest in this or partner with me on this? And I'll be like, well, okay, send me over a business plan so I can just check it out, and they never do it. Yeah, And you know, so I'm the wrong person to like advocate like strongly for business plans. I do believe you need to have something documented. I'm more like in the camp of like make a deck

at least like a present. I make a power point and just show me a couple of slides on what this is, and then more than that, go try to sell something. If somebody buys what you're trying to do. That's the best proof that there is that you know, what you have can actually work in the marketplace. And Mike Tyson as his call. You know, everybody has a plan till they get punched in the face. So go

trying to sell it. Go try to sell it if you can get enough people to at least, you know, show me some sort of proof of concept that you have that people want what you're trying to create. What was the first investment Will Lucas made in himself, Oh, the radio. Because I'm from Tolo, Ohio. You know, so I feel like I wanted to be in the music business growing up, and I've figured I'm from Toledo, so I'm like, what's the closest thing to the music business.

So I met I was in high school and I met a program director at a team summit and I said, you know, look, my name's Will Lucas. I want to be in the radio. I want to be in a music business. I'm sorry, And he said, you know, the best thing I can tell you do is find an

internship somewhere. And so he told me to come out to the station because it was a line of team trying to talk to him, and so I went out to the station like the next day and he said again, he gave me this musicians Friend catalog which has stuff I couldn't afford, you know, music equipment. And he said again, best thing I can tell you do is find you know, an internship somewhere. And so my internship started that day.

It's working for free. And so three days into my internship, he put me on the air with him during the five o'clock traffic jam. He had the three to eight slot. I was on the air with him every day after that, after I would go out of school, I would go out to the radio station and be on the air, working for free. Six months after that, they gave me my own Saturday night show. I was number one in the city on Saturday nights. Six months after that he

went to the morning show. They gave me his afternoon drive show. And so I just happened to find I found something in me that was good at radio at the time, and so that internship. I believe so like a lot of teenagers today are looking for like paid internships. And I do believe, like, you know, because because some people can take advantage of interns. But I do believe there's value in working for free, at least if it

gets you closer to your goal. Because sometimes it ain't just about the money, but if you can find a way to get closer to the thing, that's worth it because it'll pay off. My dad taught me, you know, growing up, everybody pays in life. Some people pay now, some people pay later. Everybody pays, and so sometimes they ain't about the money. If it gets you closer, then take that leap into you. You have to understand opportunity when there's not a paycheck attached to it. Absolutely have

to recognize opportunity. Yeah, we live. We live in the world though where people want that instant gratification and I respect that. You know, again, there's some people who don't know how to treat interns, and so buy internship was working like I actually got to work in the fields. And so if you're just you know, taking advantage of interns because you don't want to pay somebody else, and

you're just a bad leader, you know. But I feel like if you're giving people a real opportunity to get closer to their dreams, internships are for them, you know, Internships aren't not just necessarily about the company getting free labor. It's about helping somebody else paying forward to help somebody else get closer to the thing. Right. We got more with Will Lucas. When we come back, it's the breakfast Club. Go morning ej Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne the guy. We

are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Will Lucas, Entrepreneur, Content created and more. Now, Charlomagne, I want to ask you about a bitcoin because you mentioned it earlier. I see cryptos taking a die in the stock marketing the day. Why why isn't it It's super volatile? So number one, it's an unregulated currency, which is the value of It's an unregulated currency, and so I feel like number one, if you and if you are like day trading bitcoin

like you are gambling? Are you going to the casino every single day? And so I buy bitcoin, I buy etherium religiously. I have like an on the auto buy like every week. I just put a certain amount of money towards those things. And I'm not looking to sell it anytime soon because I believe one day bitcoin could hit like a real crazy number. And so there are folks who are selling off right literally right now in

this moment. You know, go ahead, because you're gonna you're gonna make it good for people like me and good investors who like, Okay, I'm a buy those dips and buy those crazy dips. It's like a year ago, it's like three thousand dollars, a couple of weeks ago, it's eighty thousand dollars, and so I'm like, it will hit

those numbers again. But if you're buying, particularly to day trading those such a voluntile currency, you're playing casino every single day, and that's not to me a wise investment strategy. So even dipping in the day that don't mean nothing. That's just the way. That's just the way it goes. That's just the way. That's just the way to go. I mean, the entire market goes up and down it but it's just more stable. So it's the dips aren't

as the swings aren't as hard. But like with things like with bitcoin, because it's such a new it's not really a currency because it's because it's so fresh, people don't know how to value it, and so those swings are going to be wild and crazy. So I'm buying. I'm into holding because I believe it could get to a specific number no matter what it does in the meantime. Yeah, I'm scared of it, just because I don't quite understand it.

I was talking to about financial people about it, and they would like, you know, same thing you just said. It's not regulated, but they do feel like crypto is here to stay. We just don't know which one, yeah, for sure. And so I'm like, you know, it's like building portfolio, like you don't put all your things in one brand, You don't put all your you shouldn't put

all of it into one coin. And so again, I've liked coin also I forgot I forgot about that when I have light coin, Etherem and Bitcoin, and I'm I'm banking on my ultimate belief that I believe it's going to be humongous. I don't know which one again, but I'm not banking on what it says today. I believe ultimately these will be very valuable tokens. Absolutely. Is it too late because some people will say, well, you kind of missed the boat if you didn't invest earlier. What

are your thoughts on that it'll be even later? Tomorrow. You know, you know, I'm like, get in the game. You know again, these you're you're seeing it swing. The worst thing you can do is sit on the sideline and try to you know, have a crystal ball like nobody knows and so at the worst thing you can do is just sit back and wait. Just get in the game. Well, what should we invest in that will probably make a comeback since the world is opening back up a little bit after the black people? You should

invest in black people. You should invest you should invest. Look the same thing I said about like bitcoin THEORYM like, I believe ultimately black people win. And so I'm like, you know, so I'm like, invest in black people like we ought to culture were the way we talk about food, were talking about sports, We're talking about dance, We're talking I mean, invest in black people. No, I listen, I agree with you. Um you know you everything you're saying,

I agree with saying that you invest in yourself. But yes, invest in black people. That's what I love to do. I say that when you pour into other people like you can't lose, you can't. I mean, look, you know, I was asking a VC on the podcast Black Tech, Green Money wherever you get your podcasts. Um, But I was asking the VC, like, you know, because black people run the culture. You know, we are we over index on Twitter, we over index on Snapchat, we over index

on TikTok, and we create those trending topics. Why is it if we create the culture, then why is it we get less? Like why don't they just go to the source but they invest instead? And people who wear sandals in Patagonia or whatever, like like, why is it those people get the money and the people who are actually creating the things and making them popular don't get it?

And so this that's the million dollar question, It's like, and so I believe like if again, if you ultimately believe that black culture wins, which we already do, so that's not that's a foregone conclusion, then you shouldn't invest in black people. And so like the problem is not enough of us consider building technology tools and platforms as like a thing. Like so many of our kids know how to use TikTok, but they don't realize that there's

somebody on the other side building TikTok. And so my mission is to make sure that we have that representation so we know that Okay, not only is this an app I'm dolloading, but there's somebody on the other side of getting the piece every time I open this up. And so that's what that's the that's the mission I'm on. Is it our fault because we're not necessarily in the fields or industries we may need to be in. No,

I mean that's this Number one. This is why AFRO exists, is to not only give us that representation of that they are black people really out here doing it like we are really out here making money in technology. I mean I can talk about people, you know, tens of millions of dollars, you know, like the og you know, like my guy who's like the Michael Jordan poster on my walls, guy named Paul jud I mean, this guy's you know, dozens of patterns, you know, super duper millionaire.

I mean, this is a guy who you consider like tech people nerds, like this guy walks around like Lubetans and you know he look like Envy, you know, like you know this he walks around looking like just super just super duper rich. I'm like, and so I got into podcasting because I had a white advisor to one of my startups asked me what would it take to get more black kids interested in tech, and I said, like,

they need to see like a black Mark Zuckerbird. They need to see somebody who looks like them and it realizing success. And at the end of that conversation, I kicked myself something like, we have super successful black people in tech, we just don't know who they are. And so I'm like, all these years of radio, I'm gonna start a podcast. And so it's still still in iTunes call of ten Podcasts because I was only gonna do ten episodes, one of ten, two up, so it's called

of ten Podcasts. And so I had like these super high profile in the tech in the tech sector black people on my show, and I'm like, there's so many more of us out here who are really really doing it. Um, we just don't have enough representation. And that's changing now with things like Afrotech and black tech cree money like Robert Refskin, Yeah, I mean, like we really out here. You're really out here, and he's like one of the

youngest black billionaires. Yes, you're absolutely right, yeah, and he's in I forgot exactly what he does in the text pace. But I know it's tech. Yeah, I mean so, but there are so many. There are so many, you know, I mean they're the black women you I mean, You've got like Jessica Matthew's right here in Harlem, Like she's building a power company like energy sustainability, like like, well you should have justice. Like Jessica is really the truth, like she if you ask you, you should tell you.

She's like the mix of Bill Night of Science Guy and Beyonce, Like she is really really the truth. I mean, but you've got you've got super successful black people in tech who are getting the bag, who are really making money, and you know, more of us need to show ourselves, like we are really on the other side of these applications, on other side of these solutions, making these things that people are using every day. We got more with Will Lucas.

When we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast club, Good Morning Burning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. We're still kicking it with Will Lucas. He's the brand manager at Afro Tech Content Create an entrepreneur. He'll tell you and help you where you should be putting your money. Now, I have a question. When you talk apps and you talk tech, A lot of that is expensive. How expensive is it to create your own app? And you know, how do

we get money for that? I number one. I love that you ask that questions because number one, tech is like the gold Rush, and you don't have to have the pics and shovels, Like you can literally go to

your library and cold and app on that computer. Like there are so many free applications that teach you both how to code and that you can use, like these open source platforms that you don't have to have, um, you know the big You don't have to have down payments, you know, like you do have to have in in to buy a mortgage. Um, you don't have to have, you know, a U haul or a bulldozer to go

build a thing. Like you can literally sit on a computer, on a borrowed computer, upload that code to the cloud, and any computer you go to, that same code will be there. And then you can launch that application to whatever platform, whether it be iTunes, will will play for free. And the biggest thing is knowing how to engage people. It's It's like learning how to code is one thing the real kicker and the people who are successful. It's not just the people who know how to write code,

it's also the people who can engage a team. And so if you can sell somebody to come along that road with you, whether that be if you're the coder and you're not the person who can go sell, but you can engage somebody who can who's like the mouthpiece and can be the front face of it, then you can win. If you are the front face and you got the mouth but you got and you got an idea, but you you need to then be able to engage

somebody who can code. And so I feel like you know, number one, there is a zero cost to entry, zero cost to entry in the tech world and the upside can be unlimited. And also like on top of that,

like not everybody's trying to build a Google. Like if you are a barber, like my guys that squire, Like, if you are a barber and you learn how to have a tech enabled platform to where you can scale, you know as a small business, you can win like where like like I love talking about barber's because I'm like, if you are a barber and you are not learning learning how to employ technology, like where's the black bo ricks?

Like where's the black supercuts? You know, they built a model that scales, and so like, where are we in this world? And the way that we get there is by employing technology against those, um those lifestyle sort of businesses. What way will you advise kids that say, hey, I'm into tech, I'm watching the Breakfast Club? What school would you say they should go to? A look forward to go into to learn more about tech? The University of YouTube.

That's where you go. Don't say that. I'm just being I agree with you, but it's a lot of people on YouTube giving out a lot of bad information too. I'm like, look, number one, if you learn how if you're trying to learn how to code, it's the University of YouTube. Period. Like and you got I mean, then you you also have number one, shout out the university leader. I'm a board member at the university, so I gotta shot them. We got nice computer like engineering programs. But

it's honestly the University of YouTube. I mean, if you want to learn how to code, University of YouTube. You can learn Python, you can learn rails, you can learn and see ship. If you can learn whatever, it is you want to learn, and there are people who are really good at teaching these things on these platforms, and that's period, point blank. That's it. Well, who are the people could have been? There's a lot of programs to

like Black Girls Code, Isn't it? Absolutely yeah? Shout out to shout out to Kimberley from Black Girls Code like number one, Like it's it's hard to say, like you you should listen to this person versus that person, because specifically people learn in different ways, and so some people are super visual learners, like so I can do front end development, like I need to be able to refresh my screen and see the code I just wrote, like, but there are other people who are back end developers

who you don't see the work. You don't see the result of their work on the front end of the device or the computer. And so it's really depending on how you learn. So I advise you go to YouTube, you search, okay, how to build an app? Then you can build a number one, You can build apps without code, like there we are getting to a place in our society where you don't have to learn necessarily how to code. I'm blinking up, but it's it's called apps. Without code.

So if you just Google apps without code, it's a black girl who's running this program, and you can literally build and deploy apps to the different platforms without knowing how to code. And because the interfaces today are such that you are accommodated with tools where you can literally build applications and into with integrated other third party softwares. That is really like Dragon Drop sort of sort of situations. What about the people on YouTube who think that technology

causes covid'll learn how to code from that? Hey, well I want to I want to add on to that to the New York Public Library because you know, I'm an ambassador ambassador for them. They also have free classes that kind of code. Yeah, so there's a lot of places where you can get that information. Like you said, YouTube, nice and easy, you can go to the Yeah, there's so many different places. I think Facebook does a program also where you can come in and learn how to code.

So do you start your children and start your children as best you can early? Because number one is it's a it's about representation number one. So you have to show them like what does the end result potentially look like? And so if you can expose your your your children to stories, um to success stories because again, like they want to be Lebron because they see Lebron. But if they want to be you know again, my daughter said area on the grounded because they see area on the grounded.

But if you can show you your kids you know these again Jessica Matthews Kimberly from Black Girl's Cold The Paul Judges of the World, like, if you can show your kids these people, then they see people who look like them and are really really doing it. It really just boils down the money. Like when you see somebody like Robert Smith, and Robert Smith can pay forty million people can't pay forty million dollars to the class of more healthy. Like he got that kind of money. Now

you start paying attention to what he does. Absolutely, absolutely we need we need to highlight these stories. And I appreciate the work that you guys are doing here, you know, highlighting these stories, because this is like super important because only if the NBA is only gonna get so big, it's only gonna be so many spots on these teams.

But isn't it isn't you know, unlimited opportunity in this world of creating efficiencies that at scale, which which bids the byproduct of the technology, where anybody with a good idea can employ technology to make that idea come become real, and that people can be using it all over the world and you can really change your life by using this. My last question, why why is the Black Tech Green Money podcast necessary? These are the conversations we have amongst ourselves.

I'll say that these are These are the places where the Black Tech Green Money is a place where those people who have done it, the people who have done what you want to do, can have the conversations with us that they can't have on other stages and other podcasts. These are conversations, the insights. If you want to build legacy and wealth utilizing tech or in tech, and you want to know how to do it strategically, how to

do it? What are the tactics, not just like some you know, overarching global general you know response to questions,

but actually how do you do it? This is the podcast you need to be listening to if you are if you are aiming to build wealth, if you are aiming to use tech to build a scalable solution, this is the podcast you need to be listening to, especially if you're black, because if you are trying to build wealth and legacy towards the future, not like looking backwards, because the past is gone, the pre COVID world is gone.

There is a new world. And what Black Tech Green Money allows us to do is have these conversations from our perspective to find out how we can win. Give me your Twitters, in your Instagrams and all that good stuff. Will at Will Lucas on I g W I l L l Ucs Twitter. I'm on Will underscore Lucas. I couldn't get with Lucas, so Twitter, We'll underscore Lucas. I'm working on it. I'm working on it. But it's Black

Tech Green Money podcasts on all of those. So and make sure you check out the Black Tech Green Money podcast on the Black Effect. iHeartRadio podcast Network. Will I thank you for your partnership. I thank Afrotech for the partnership. Salute through the Morgan and let's just keep let's just keep teaching our people. Man, thank you. See the guy, It's the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee Charlomagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

It's a Thursday, and let's get to these rumors. Let's go. This is the rum of report with Angela years so for the Hollywood Reporter, Billy Porter has decided to tell some very important parts of his story. He said that he is HIV positive, but he also said the diagnosis came at one of his lowest points. He said it was two thousand and seven, the worst year of his life, and he was on the precipice of obscurity for about a decade or so. He said, By February, I have

been diagnosed with type two diabetes. By March, I signed bankruptcy papers, and by June I was diagnosed HIV positive. Now here's what he had to say about going to trauma therapy. I started trauma therapy to begin the process of healing, as opposed to how I had been navigating through the world up until that time. You know, my trauma served me, My story served me in terms of forward motion for a very long time. Alright. He goes

on to talk about how the diagnosis came about. Even he said he had a pimple on his butt, and it got larger and larger and harder and harder, and then it started to hurt. And one day he was like, I got to get this taken care of. So he said at the front desk. The queen at the front desk asked him, you want an HIV test? The only ten dollars, and he said yes, time and he was getting tested every six months and he went in got

his pimple drained, and then he got tested. The doctor came back and told him he was positive, so that that's an actual symptom of HIV like when you get He said it was just a fluke that he had that and then he was in there. They asked him, do you want to get a test just because you're here? You're here. You had to clear that up because you made it seem like a pimple on the butt is a is a way that people could well quote I quote it exactly what he says could happen. I've gotten

knows often. I was like, huh, okay, you get pimples on your butt life, maybe you need to make sure that you scrub and exfoliate your butt. Really, it doesn't get clogged up. Just like you expoliate your you want to get rid of that dead lay your skin so it can come out foliate your butt. Yeah, you don't use exfoli my face. On my face, I get a nice scrub. They had some good ones from Shame moist share as a nice scrub. Yeah, you should scrub your

whole body. Try to cheek full cheeks. Yeah all right. Now, he did let everybody around him know that he was HIV positive, but he couldn't bring himself to share it publicly, and he also was afraid to tell his mom at first. The manifestation of the shame was not being able to tell my mother. But my mother having been through so much already, there was already so much of it in her life that she had to deal with because of my queerness, that I just didn't want her to have

to live through. There, I told you so of it all. You know, I had made a pact with myself that I would let her die before I told her. Man, I mean, that has to be a tough one to reveal to the world. Like you know, many people probably and you know entertainment and Hollywood who are HIV positive, but don't say anything like this thing about in our lifetimes. I can only think of three people that went public, right, I'm sure it's some mother's but man's. It's a lot

of people who'll be keeping nothing himself. So for Billy to live his truth in that way, that had to be difficult, right, And like you said, he did tell a lot of the people around him, so everybody around him knew, but he just never publicly told everyone. And here's what happened when he had his conversation with his mom. I haven't seen her in a while. Let me just call and talk to her. Not even two minutes in

the conversation, she was like, what's wrong. Mother always knows And I said nothing, nothing, and she's like, son, please tell me what's wrong. So I ripped the band aid off and I just told her and she said, I love you. I've always loved you. That will never change. Damn. And now now he's saying it's time to grow up and move on because shame is destructive and if not dealt with, it can destroy everything in its path. And he also talks about the advancements in medicine that have

dramatically increased the quality of life for people with HIV. Yeah, I mean, he didn't know the world that, but I mean, in his position, if he wants to be an example the others living with HIV, I understand and just living your truth is free and right. Yeah, and I commend him for that. Man. I remember doing a panel with about all the advancements they've made with HIV medicines and being on a panel with people who are HIV positive that have very productive lives for decades. So you can't

live with HIV and live a fruitful life. And so I do commend him for coming out and being able to say that. You know, we do HIV testing every year at the Juice Bar, and so it's always interesting to me because I get tested every year too when everyone comes in and does it. And there have been people who have tested positive for HIV when they came in to do their tests. But it is important. Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't want I don't want to know that news on the spot not there well, no one like they

don't tell me who it is Drivate. They have counselors on hand and everything so that they can go ahead and start you in the process of making sure that you're you know, eating what you're supposed to eat, making sure that you're taking the medicine, all of those things. It's important to know. So you can't have a healthy life.

And you know, you see people like Billy Porter like removes the stigma of whatever you think, you know, living with magic, And you know, I'm always curious to to you know, magic Johnson has HIV is no longer detected in the system. Nobody ever says, how is that true. I don't know if that's true. Yeah, he said it's no longer detected in the system. He didn't say he

didn't have it. He said it's not detected in this in this body, all the different cocktails of medication that you can take, Yeah, you can go on and be fine. So all right, well that is your rumor report. All right now, Charlomae, who you giving that? Donkor too? We need ninety percent of the GOP who voted against this independent Commission to investigate the Q on January sixth to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a world within place, all right, we'll get into that.

Nextus to Breakfast Club, go morning, So Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same. Hey, it's Angela Yee. By using brands like Dove and Helmets, you're supporting Unilever and the everyday good they do like donating more than twenty five million dollars worth of everyday products and services to groups like Feeding America this year. Visit Unilever does Good dot com to support communities impacted by the pandemic. This is a miracle, there is no question. And there

are problems in this country between police and community. Yes, you are a donkey to the latest on that police killing of a black man. Now a new developments in the deathly spawshooting rampage. If it was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did, and so we are in a state of emergency. Okay. White supremative violence is always has been the number one threat to oxcide. But I'm also very proud that my wife was white because the breakfast club bitches. Sorry, please tell

me why was I your donkey of the day. Donkey of to day for Thursday, May twenty if goes to the ninety percent of Republicans who are battling against an independent commission. Okay, on the attempted coup of this country on January six, I speak about the insurrection in this country as often as I can, because that is something we should never forget, especially when it doesn't seem like

anyone is truly being held responsible. In my forty two years of existence on this planet, I have never seen a greater example of white privilege than what happened on January six. That was a textbook definition of a coup, okay, a sudden, violent and illegal seizure of power from a government. We talk about people being unpatriotic, what's more unpatriotic than treason? Okay.

I said to y'all months ago that Democrats, Republicans, you know, any American, black, white, Puerto Rican an Asian, if you truly care about this country, you will never let them forget what happened on January six. You will constantly remind folks of the domestic terrorists that star I'm the Capitol Building, and you would make sure every single member of Vanilla Isis and Al Cracker are held responsible for the act

of treason they committed in this country. But no, y'all treat an attempt to coop at this country like it's just a bunch of kids. While in that that spring break like it was like it was a brunch that got a little rowdy. What message did that sinto the

rest of the world. That's the question I've been asking myself since that attempted coup happens, And I don't understand why it's not TV commercials, billboards, magazine ads that constantly remind folks of what Donald Trump and his rhetoric caused to happen in this country on January six, Any human being who truly gives a damn would be all for

this independent commission on the insurrection. If you don't know what that commission is, it's simple, the agreement which set up an independent commission to investigate the failings that allowed a pro Trump mob to overrun the Capitol. Why wouldn't anyone who claims to be a patriot, who claims to be America first, why wouldn't they want this? Why wouldn't they want this bill? Because this why, I mean, why

wouldn't they want this independent mission? Because this independent commission will have people looking under the hood to see what's really going on, and it would make folks take a real deep look into the road. The former celebrity and chief played in the coup, and how he communicated with others in the GOP that day, and how he responded

to rioters as they invaded the capital. Basically, Donald Trump is Nino Brown, the GOP is the CMB, and this independent commission to investigate the attempted coup well the effects. So of course the CMB or GOP with block an investigation because they know this is bigger than Nino Brown. And Trump got a list to prove it, and if he goes down, he's taken a lot of people with him. It's really that simple. So like most things, it passed

the House would probably won't pass the Senate. Would you like to hear with g money I mean, I mean Mitch McConnell had to say about this independent commission and why he doesn't support it. Listen, I've made the decision to oppose the House Democrats slatted an unbalanced proposal or another commission to study the events of January the sex is everybody surely knows. I repeatedly made my views about

the events of January the six very clear. So, mister President, it's not at all clear what new fox or additional investigation yet another commission could actually lay on top of existing approached by law enforcement in Congress. Why does mister McConnell talk like he's got his jaw wired? Is that a consequence of having no lips. I mean, damn, he could be a ventriloquist. I mean he actually is, because he speaks for the GOP and most of them his puppets.

But he said something in that statement that I haven't an answer to. He said, it's not at all clear what new facts are. Additional investigation, yet another commission could actually lay on top of existing efforts by law enforcement in Congress. Well, I'll tell you what a deeper investigation could find, all the players involved, including the politicians. And furthermore, you can't go deep enough on what happened on January six. Domestic terrorists from the Capitol and tried to overthrow the

results of a presidential election. That's not normal anyway, especially in America. That's death by firing squad in some countries. I read a story and the Associated Press from July twenty seventh, nineteen ninety about forty two men, forty two convicted coup plotters who were executed by firing squad. Okay, I think this happened to Nigeria. So when you see how history has shown us how other countries handle their attempted coups, it makes you wonder why is America handling

their attempted coups so whitely, I mean lightly. You can't go deep enough on any investigation regarding January six. I'll tell you, like a COVID test that told me when I asked, how deep will he go? And he said until he feels resistance. Well, we're getting resistance now, okay from ninety percent of the GOP. But I say go deeper. Now. I have to commend to thirty five Republicans who have

joined Democrats to support the measure. But I'm not giving you too much credit because it's a damn shame that we live in a country where we have to commend up politicians for doing the right thing. Okay, especially in regard to domestic terrorism. Now, I don't trust too many politicians to be anything but politicians. You know, Over the last few years, I've really got to know some politicians and some folks. Some folks I dislike his humans, And this next person I'm about to play is one of them.

This is just a morally sound human who happens to be white, who just wants to do the right thing. Okay, me and this guy have meditated together, we speak. I like this guy and We need folks who speak truth to power, especially in politics. Tim Ryan, Ohio, the floor is yours. I want to thank the gentlemen from New York and the other Republicans who are supporting this and

thank them for their bipartisanship. To the other ninety percent of our friends on the other side of the aisle, Holy cow, incoherence, no idea what you're talking about, Ben Gods that you guys chase the former secretary of State all over the country spent millions of dollars. We have people scaling the capitol, hitting the capitol. Police would lead pipes across the head. And we can't get bipartisanship. What

else has to happen in this country. This is a slap in the face to every rank and file cop in the United States. If we're gonna take on China, if we're gonna rebuild the country, if we're gonna reverse climate change, we need two political parties in this country that are both living in reality. And you ain't one of them. Who dropping the clues pomps for Tim Rode. But Tim, you gotta start cursing. Okay, you have to start cursing, Tim that Holy cow, don't hit a hard

is what you really wanted to see? Can you play? Just play the Holy Cow part again? Holy Cow? Come on man, now listen. Okay, Now that's what I need you to true Holy can. If you're gonna say holy Cow, Tim, you're gonna have to really take it there. I need you to put some of that real white sauce on it. Make it as Caucasian as possible. If you go to do it like this, Holy Cow, Holy birthday cake, holy rainbow, Holy Cinderella, Holy shrinkage, Gosh, golly, g willigrassimmone chippity dupe.

We have people scaling the Capitol, hitting the Capitol police withou lead pipes across the head, and we can't get bi partisanship. That's right, Tim, Okay, Tim, ask the valid question two? What else has to happen in this country? What else? What else? Well, if you don't hold folks accountable for what happened on January sixth, I'm talking everyone from politicians to the domestic terrorists, We're gonna find out, and I don't think America is ready for the answer.

Please give the ninety percent of the GOP who are battling against the Independent Commission on the attempted coups.

I love it when that happens. All right, Hello, who's this? Oh my gosh, Oh this is Maria. Hey Maria, Hey Maria, good morning, Oh my god, good morning. I can not believe I actually got three you guys every single mornanna, And I know everybody says god, but I am like, say, well, thank you, what's your question for

your mama? So I have the monk I would call him is a friend with benefit, huh. But he's like in love obsessed, in love obsessed, And I keep trying to explain him like this, not that, like I don't like to like that. I like the thing, but I don't like you just like a country and I'm just nervous about having to deal with somebody. Maria, I am so confused. You do not like this man, right you? Just why are you going out the country with him?

Because it's been planned for a while. Um, I don't want to waste you know, the trip, his money, my time, it's all paider to me and everything. I have a question. Do you care about him as a person? Yes? I do. I think he's a very sweet person and I try to be very honest with him, like I tell him all these things too. I just don't understand why he sees it. He probably thinks that you know, you're doing these things, spending time with him, you're going away with him.

Eventually you're going to break down and be in a relationship with him. But if you care about somebody and you know that's not your intention, you can't keep on leading them on like this. Oh everybody told me that, so I thought that. I can't accept saying I think if you, I don't think you should. I mean, I feel like that is bad armor. I feel like you said you've been telling him, but there your actions aren't

saying that right. And a lot of times we always tell people not to be delusion and on his behalf, he should know. Okay, she's telling me she doesn't want to be with me, she's not with me, but then you're going away with him. Well I almost believe me. God, he had to convince me to go. Yeah, it just feels like it's not It's really not nice, honestly, Maria, if you care about somebody to do things like that, would you want somebody to do that to you, Well

I would. I wouldn't put myself in exactly. But he has it and it feels like he's vulnerable. Maybe it's his self esteem, but you are taking advantage. Okay, So I know it's not what you wanted to hear, but it's really not cool. No, I know, because I'm called. I'm called multiple days. They're gonna happen like what I do with him, and all these situations for happens that were supposed to be going out with Cuspy. Yeah, let him be able to find somebody who cares about him

the way he cares about them. If it's not you, let him at least free up to be able to put that work in with somebody who wants him. Also, I mean, I just try to give him a team still hanging around, but hell, I need to do I know, I know you're gonna go on this trip anyway, So the last piece of advice I'm gonna give you is bring some friends on the trip. Also, okay, all right, there you go. Thank you. Yeah foul, all right, I ask you, why are we foul? You know for doing

stuff like that? Not you, but people like that. That's foul. I feel bad for him. I don't even know him. Ask ye don't drink five eight five one on five one that we got rumors on the way. Yes, and let's talk about Demi Levado. We'll tell you what they had to say. All right, we'll get into it next. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. I got what you need morning. Everybody is DJ and Angela y Charlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club, good morning.

Ain't got nothing knowing under that role and that that breeze just blew a little. I was singing, Chris Brownson, what you all heard? What you say? I got what you need? And then nobody with you? All right, King, do your thing, All right, Let's get to the rooms. Let's talk. Demi Levado, it's about this is the rumor report, Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, Demi Levido took the Twitter to let everybody know that she is changing

their pronouns from she herd to vyth them. She said, every day we wake up and you're giving another opportunity, a chance to be who we want and wish to be. I've spent the majority of my life growing in front of all of you. You've seen the good, the bad, and everything in between. That only has my life been a journey for myself, I was also living for those on the other side of the cameras. Today's a day I'm so happy to share more of my life with

you all. I'm proud to let you know that I identify as non binary and will officially be changing my pronouns to they them moving forward. Here's what she said on Twitter. I want to take this moment to share something very personal with you. Over the past year and a half, I've been doing some healing and self reflective work, and through this work, I've had the revelation that I identify as non binary. With that said, I'll officially be

changing my pronouns today them. I feel that this best represents the fluidity I feel in my gender expression and allows me to feel most authentic and true to the person I both know I am and still am discovering. Question. No, no, you don't want to hear from you. No, but I thought they mean two or more people. That's what I thought too. I'm not gonna lie to pronoun thing did confuse me because I thought I did think they. Then with plural, I thought it means more than one and

college said they are hatus to it? So what is it? Yeah? What is I thought they was two more? Well, in this particular case, it's stay them for a DEMI because they doesn't want to be referred to as a he him or she her, So it's stay them, you know, non binary? Okay, and listen. If we slip up, I apologize. I just want to put that out there too, because you know, sometimes you're so used to saying something in a certain way that you might use the wrong pronoun.

You know. The only time I've been catching myself over the past few years is when I'm talking about God, because we have a tendency to say God and he and it's just like I just say, I try to just say God as opposed to saying, you know, he blesses me or you know what I mean. Yes, they won't he do it? Yeah, that's a true Damn Won't God do it? That's what I say, Won't God do it? Look at God? I don't know, man, I'm too stupid

fall of this to be honest. You are all right, um and Russell Simmons and Kamara Lee Russell Is Simmons. Russell Simmons is suing his ex wife and accusing her

a fraud. So, according to the Blast, he has filed a lawsuit against Kamara and her husband Tim for allegedly siphoning some of his shares and the Celsius Energy drink company so they could use that those shares is collateral to post bond for her husband, who is currently facing a series of federal charges and calling conspirac that's they're telling me to pay my meeter, all right. So prior to that incident, Russell Simmons and Camara and Tim had

all invested tens of millions into Celsius. But now he's being charged with laundering money. So now he has to sue. Uh. Tim is being accused of laundering money. So Russell Simmons is now suing Camara for using that money for his bond. Now, can you sue your ex wife? If you're all cool? Friend? But I mean if you're cool though, like if y'all really cool, y'all friends, if you can't settle it, then you have to. It's a lot of money on the line.

So yes, I'm sure it feels disrespectful. Y'all want some good news? Sure? All right? Asap Rocky and Rihanna, he is saying that Rihanna is the love of his life. He said, my lady so much better when you got the one. She amounts to probably like a million of the other ones. I think when you know, you know she's the one. And he's on the cover of GQ's June July feature issue. Well, you know what to do. As if you like to put a ring on, okay and take her last name, I would be asap fanty.

You hear me name please, I'm asap fanty Rihanna Rocky hard dat name. I'm sure that's not his last name, all right, now, guys, they and they were also showing asap Rocky pictures of him and Rihanna on the red carpet. And here's what he said about one of the pictures of the two of them. That's a photo because she looked fired right there. She looks sexy as I love her brother, that's remember. Yeah, you know why. Though she might have wore way better stuff. It's just I was

there in person to see it on her. She designed my my tuxedo. That's a fancy tuxedo with the rick Ons shoes on, but she designed it. I was all fancy that day. I don't see that young king saying nothing wrong. All I hear him saying is the right things. Is that what he's supposed to be saying? Yes, okay, okay,

I'm sure he means it all right. And another break up news this time future they're saying that he's taking a dig at Laurie Harvey on his leake snippet of a song with him and four too, Doug, And here is that snippet. I couldn't even hear it was leaked, so it is what it is. So you could have just said that because we I could understand anything they were saying. Huge change.
