But I'm gonna playing the damn record? What do you mean? Okay, you can read good, it's on it's on the screen, all right, Okay. I did have to pull it up though exactly. He had no idea. Please. All right, Well, let's get into front page news. Last night, the Atlanta Hawks beat the Milwaukee Bucks one sixteen, one thirteen.

The Hawks lead the series one too great that goddamn trade songs, trade song, Trade lay the songs goddamn as well. Scored forty eight points eleven assists of seven rebound. He was video game like last Yeah he was ball the last night. Greek Freak did this thing too, but yeah, he's like Greek Freak is a walking thirty and ten plus rebounds. But trade was amazing. What else did guy? All? Right? Well,

Joe Biden said he wants to supercharge what works. He wants to crack down on a road gun dealers, and also increase funding for police and social service programs. They're saying there's been a huge surgeon crime. I know, we've all been talking about it. They said there's been a thirty percent increase in homicides last year, with another twenty four percent increase at the beginning of this year. Here's

what Joe Biden had to say today. The Department's announcing, as suggested, a major crackdown on stem the flow of guns used to commit violent crimes. It's zero tolerance for gun dealers who willfully violate key existing laws and regulations. If you will sell a gun to someone who's prohibited from possessing it, if you willfully fail to run a background check, if you willfully false fire record, if you willfully fail to cooperate with the tradition request or inspections.

My message you as this will find you right, so they will revoke the licenses of gun dealers who actually violate all of those laws by giving firearms to unauthorized persons. In addition to that, this is a three hundred and fifty billion dollar commitment in state and local funding for the American Rescue Plan. Here is what Joe Biden had to say about that funding. Discuss historic funding for states, cities and counties, and tribes for law enforcement and crime.

For mention cities experienced an increase in gun violence, We're able to use the American Rescue Plan dollars to hire three solficers needed for community policing and to pay their overtime. Mayors will also be able to buy crime fighting technologies like gunshot detection systems to better seeing style gun violence in the communities. They can use the funding to scale up wraparound service for the residents as well, including substance

abuse and mental health services. So it's up to the states and local governments to determine how they're going to spend the funds that are allocated according to this plan, but it also will be expanded to include summer camp programs, and mental health services, food assistants, job placement programs, and other social services that help prevent crime. The only thing is, with states and local governments, you can also choose to only use that money to hire more police officers. So

it's really state by state. Yeah, I'm all for putting more money into these communities providing more opportunity and more resources. Is that definitely keeps you know, the kids, kids that might be going in the crime off the street. But we just gotta make sure we're not getting you know, the ninety four crime build all over again. Because Joe Biden is a tough one crime politician, always has been,

always will be. His crimes have always led to the over policing and mass and culturation of black and brown people. So yes, we do need less guns off the street for show, but I just hope it doesn't lead to more black and brown people being thrown under the jet. Well that's gonna be why it's important to also vote in your local elections because, like we said, this is up to states and local governments to determine how they

spend those funds. I was confused though, Like when you buy a car, right, there's a vendnumb on the cast, so they know exactly what they've ven number goals. I thought it was the same thing with a gun. Yeah, but a lot of these guns are illegal though. I mean, yes,

you can buy guns. You know you're talking about legally legally p Yeah, he's saying that if you are a gun dealer, right, and let's just say you don't give a background check, you falsify records, you sell it to an unauthorized person, you can have your license revoked as a gun dealer. Absolutely, But let's be clear, a lot of these crimes that are happening in the street, these guns on legal guns are illegally. Come on, yeah, we

know that, all right. In addition to that, the Vice President Kamala Harris will be going to the US Mexico border on tomorrow actually, and that trip is to our Pasto, Texas, after she has been dogged for not even going to the border so far, even though that's her job to oversee that. All right, Well that is your front page news all I really want to be five one O

But at the same time, too, it's being woke needs a lot more than just knowing what happened and what they did and how they did it. It's on and so forth.

Hey Jane and get it off your chess mama. Hey, you guys really have me starting my morning today. Women's Charlotte Mayne singing Mary Days off key loud to tell in

our car. Hey all I really want Oh my god, I know it's cancer season. I know my signe baby cancers are ready to get it in my sister for kancers. So y'all are pulling your own notions right now but just between that and the State Farms commercial on the podcast, Charlotte again go off key, but you know he thinks he's okay. He's singing louder like. It's not about It's not about being on key when you're singing be happy. It's about feeling happy. Tell me about the state phone

commercial that happen with the fun commercial. You know exactly what happened at the same time of commercial. It's sucking the head. Boy, she just get stuck in my head. I'm not pushing to Stay Farm. However, you're constantly singing that commercial. I think it's chords light for you and Ndie y'alld just going hard. I know where your funds are on the podcast. Well, thank you to Stay Farm, Thank you the motion course. You know what, we appreciate you,

Thank you, We appreciate you for being sponsors. Going to Black Effect Podcast Network, Thank you very much. Hello. Who's this? How you doing? What? X? Get it off? Your chance? Brosing on M Blessed Black and Holly fab But how you doing? King? I ain't pretty good? Brother. Hey. The reason why I want to call it is one and I'm a detective down here in North Carolina. And uh, and I do a lot of the gun cases and

stuff like that. I think we're Biden is saying is one of those things where it's about smoking mirrors again, you know what I'm saying, because a lot of these gun dealers, they're not selling guns illegal. What's happening is a lot of these guys while we're looking at a forward up getting killed in the streets and stuff like that.

These young boards were they do when they getting these girlfriends and baby mamas to go on the stores and they buy the flowarms for them illegally buy farms, and that's how a lot of times they get fowers on the street. Also, what's happening and you get a lot of these guys that they're breaking them vehicles, they're breaking their homes and they get stooling guns and that's how the guns get on the street. But a lot of times they get people that can legally buy farms and

then the guns out on the street. So it sounds good, what are you talking about? But at the same time, it's not going to stop these guys from getting these guns at all. Right, I just think it's part of a strategy. I don't think that's the only thing that you do right, right, right. I don't think it's a bad day. It's just a it's a it's a new policy.

I don't think it's a bad day. I'm just scared of Biden because he's been a historically tough on crime, you know, politician, and you know those tough on crime policies always impact black and brown people the most. Absolutely. But it is also I agree with you, I'm so Angela. Um, it is sometimes doing something and that's good. But at the same time, we have to be careful where people don't just think, oh, well, these guys are all the guns that they're getting on bought illegally. Yeah, not at

the way people are bought the guys. You know what I'm saying, Right, this is just a new policy that's never been implemented before. So any way that anything can improve these guns that are illegally on the streets, I think is a you know, that's a good thing. But again, state and local government, you guys have to make sure you know who you're voting for because they're the ones who are going to allocate how those funds are distributed. Yep.

We we just got to be careful man, because the ninety four crime bills started the same exact way, people complaining about what was happening in the street. Next thing you know, we're being over police and mass and carts are right and now and now the legal people won't be able to buy if they need them. Yep, yes, sir, so I'm pretty sure this. Y'all. Have a great morning, all right, can't get it off your chest eight hundred five, eight five one or five one. If you need to vent,

you can hit us something. We got rumors all the way, yes, and let's tuck about Kenya Barros. He's making some big moves. He has a label deal, a podcasting deal. He's left Netflix. We'll tell you what he had to say. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Hey, good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we all the Breakfast Club? Good morning? Yeah, all right, Well,

let's get to these rumors. Let's talk Kenya Barross. It's about the rumor report Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, Kenya Barras is on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter and he's talking about exiting his Netflix deal. It was a one hundred million dollar deal that he left in January. Now.

According to his interview, he said the marriage wasn't perfect because he wasn't willing to be the broadly commercial producer of the streamer wanted him to be, and Netflix wasn't interested in being the edgy home that Kenya Barris wanted. He said, I want to do in your face ish. He said that Netflix didn't let him create what was gonna what he wanted, and they also brought up Charlemagne, who had told listeners of The Breakfast Club that Black af was like white people doing a bad impression of

black people. Kenya Barris said, of course he did want Charlemagne to like the show, but I guess his he was more interested in what other people thought about the show. Other thought leaders right. In addition to that, he said, I just don't know that my voice is Netflix's voice. He says, the stuff I want to do is a little bit more edgy, a little bit more high brow, a little more heavy, and I think Netflix wants down

the middle. They also tried to get him to run a multicam sitcom that they were developing According to sources, it was Jamie Fox's dad stopped embarrassing me, which is now canceled, but he refused to do that. So in addition to exiting this Netflix deal and he has inked to new deal with Viacom CBS, he also is launching a music label with Interscope Records and also a podcasting deal with Audible. Luther Kenya spoke to Kenya last night.

He actually called me because a lot of times these publications take things out of context and have us going back and forth with each other over nothing. Okay, was there a back and forth? What you mean? I mean, you guys were having a back and forth over Oh no, I'm saying it could have been though. I mean if I read that article, if I read that article and didn't talk to Kenya, I could probably come on here and say something, you know, in defense of myself. But

for what you know, I like Kenya. We like each other all right now. Tristan Thompson has been granted fifty thousand dollars and a libel lawsuit involving paternity accuser Kimberly Alexander. She was ordered to pay him that money and general damages and a conditional default judgment that was issued on Tuesday.

According to the judgment, he originally had asked for a one hundred thousand dollars in damages because of loss of mutation, shame, mortification, and hurt feelings, but he says that he had not received an endorsement deal since January of twenty twenty, but the judge found it was insufficient evidence that her accusations were the cause, so instead they gave him fifty thousand dollars.

One of her classmates hopped the turnstile on the train and Pete was there, and the person got arrest and got a ticket, and Pete actually pulled them money out of his pocket and said, you know what, here, I'll pay for your ticket. Just be careful out here with the trains. Pete is a great and I just thought that was pretty dope. I was gonna tell him next time he came up here.

But then they tell you you can't get your money because of a glitch. We'll tell you who that happened to. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, So Breakfast Club, your morning's 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. Hey morning, everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are to Breakfast Club. Let's get to the rumors. Well sorry, let's get the front page news. Let's start

off with NBA playoffs. Last night, the Hawks beat the Bucks one sixteen, one thirteen. Trey Young. He got busy forty eight points, eleven assist, seven, rebound for Trey songs, Baby Trey Song. How do you keep doing that? I'm perfect, No, it's not busy. No, he really do man. I was watching that game last night, I'm like, he's just one of those people who changes the complexion of the game. When he gets going, he gets going. All right, now, what else we got ye, Well, let's take it to Detroit.

Jacqueline Davis is a gambler and she got hooked on internet casino betting. She was playing on bet MGM the Luck of the Roulette game. She started in March eighteenth, and she played for five days straight. She actually was up and down right. At one point she was up eleven million dollars, but then she ended up going back down and she ended it at three million. That's when she finally decided to stop. She was ahead three million dollars and now they won't pay her money. Here she

is with her attorney talking about what's going on. They're claiming there was a glitch in the game and they were instructed by regulation to check this every single night. And my client played for five straight days. Did everybody who lost money get their money back? So might say that you knew the game was broken? Did you? How? What a because you're a winner all the time. Well, I mean that's the purpose of gamblin You're playing to win. Nah,

They gotta give her. They gave her a one hundred thousand dollars and they want her to sign a confidentiality agreement that if the glitch ever got out, she would have to give back the hundred thousand plus pay bet MGM's costs. She's not signing that agreement and bet MGM. They reached out to them, Fox too, but they had no comment and hung up the phone as well. But that is not fair. No, it's not fair. She from Detroit too, right, what nah give her her money. It's

not her fault if there was a glitch. It was not a glitch. She don't know that. But also, and the attorney's right, did you give back all the money that people lost during those five days? If you're saying there was a glitch, you said she played the game for five days? A great yeah, she said she barely slept because she was up down. She want three million dollars and they won't pay her. They Oh no, no, that's not I ain't even hit that part. That's not how that works. Where are you just no? I just

heard him say she played for five days. I'm sitting there trying to figure out why she supposed to get the money. She won three million dollars million, So why they won't pay her again because they said there was a glitch. Are you listening, man? It ain't no goddamn glitch. We just said that the glitches that she won three million dollars and nobody supposed to win those games are ricks, so you don't win. That's the whole thing. Yeah, she started with a fifty dollars beat. She started with the

fifty dollars beat, and she started increasing. The max on the table was five thousand dollars. And like I said, at one point she was up eleven million. I wanted what the fine print? She was up eleven million to day stop? No, she kept playing and then but I mean she was ready to cash out at three million. I wonder where the fine print is in those type of situations, because it's got to be something, right. I'm sure they have something that protects them from having to

pay that type of money. But then there's got to be something to where they they have to pay her something. Right. They paid her one hundred thousand. Oh no, hell no, no, no, she should have cast at eleven million. That's what she bugged bugging out at. No, but that's the point of gambling. When you're winning that much, you feel like you're gonna win even more. So that's why how they get you eleven million walk away? No, she started fifty dollars. She

happy with eleven million? Three million? You walk away? She did. She had a lot, boy, she had eleven, she had eleven at one point. I'm so confused. No, what's just so confused? How she lost all this money? How you were from three to eleven to one hundred dollars? She started with fifty dollars, She got all the way up to eleven million dollars winning, and then how long? How many days? Five days to win eleven million? And then she lost? And then she cast at a three million.

She should have cast at eleven. But regardless, she won three million dollars. Didn't want to get up. Everybody knew the cash out. When they were up like they are, everybody would cast and nobody knows. She probably thought she's gonna get up to twenty million. But this wife's confusing me. You're saying she should have cashed out at eleven. You're saying she cast out at three. She didn't get nine of that. That's what I'm saying what did it matter

if she would have cashed out at eleven? She gonna get that three million. We're gonna make sure she get that. We're gonna keep talking about. All I know is y'all old Jacqueline David from Goddamn you go. That's tomorrow. This all right? Well that is your front page news. Geez.

I look at this as like the other side, Like we're on the other side of it now, So we're not crying just because we're visiting

this and we're sad about it. We're revisiting and we're sad because we had to see it, but we're also crying because We're happy that we're on the other side. We got out on the other side. But you know, it was painful having to go back and see all that stuffe Andre too. Yeah, you know, but it's but it's it's it's okay now because I can. I can do that because I'm strong enough to do that. Now. We're happy Andre was there. I mean, I know you're happy, but isn't it a blessing that Andrea was dead to

talk and to share experiences and everything. Yeah, I was so happy that we got a chance to get him, because nobody knew that he wasn't going to be here, so that, Yeah, to see him in the documentary made me cry. And you said you didn't know that you were you back then, And I think so many women, so many black women go through that when they're younger, when you when you look back and you're like, I

didn't know how specialized was. Your fans knew, and they knew how much you touched them, and you helped people get through so many difficult times, But you didn't know the power that you had, not at all, not even a little bit. That's why I ran myself through so many things. I went through drugs, and alcohol and just treating myself so bad because I didn't know I was

worthy of anything. I didn't know I was this person that I can truly say I deserve everything now, you know, because I give so much in my life, and I worked so hard on myself, you know, not anybody else on me mentally, spiritually, physically. So I didn't know I had this power, and I didn't know. I didn't know. I just didn't know, you know what I mean. And when you don't know who you are, you can't treat yourself well. You can't you know, good to anybody else,

you know. So now I feel like I earned the right to say I'm good for something, I'm good to someone, and I'm good for everything because I earned it and I'm still earning it because it's not over. I cried watching you um talk to your younger self and when you was watching the video, like, at what point did you know you're you're inner child needed healing. It was a it was a years and years of finding out.

I think twenty sixteen was my like, real, you know what, Mary, you have to really gather all of you up, the young you, to confuse you, the the everything you just and just love all of you. I can't say it came in nineteen ninety four and nineteen ninety six or two. It just it was a process of you gotta love you, baby, you older, you, confuse you, great, you, clumsy you, whatever it is you are, alcoholic you, whatever it is, you have to love you. And the child was suffering thinking

everything was her fault. And that's that's the one that was making me feel ashamed. So I had to, you know, as an adult with all his confidence, you know that I'm developing. That's the one that I embraced the most, because she got hurt the most. When did you realize that you needed to change? Like? What was the knock on the door, the thing that says, no, I need to figure this out. Now? What in twenty and sixteen got you to that point? What twenty sixteen was terrible?

You know, we all we all saw it go down in the world. What happened When I got out of that terrible situation, I was like, I'm never going to allow myself to hurt like that again, or anybody to hurt me like that again. I don't deserve that, and I don't deserve to treat myself like that. So I think it was during a No More Drama when I was like, I'm tired of feeling like this. It was an ongoing process of healing, getting getting better, getting stronger.

But the actual day, I don't know the day, but the time was during a normal drama albums when I said, I'm tired. I'm tired of feeling like this. I'm tired of feeling like I hate myself. I'm tired of feeling like I want to kill myself. I'm tired. So it was a process of just still doing the same thing, but trying to be stronger, trying to be happy, trying to find some joy somewhere somehow. And we soldiers and we're strong and we're from the hood and nothing embarrasses

us easy, so it's like what else you got? But really tested me? But seeing Papa us are talking about how both of you were going through so much during that time, just a lot of heartache, and you guys wear kids like we forget that when we look back at it. You were so young when you put that album out, going through so many different things, so you guys are leaning on each other a lot during that time.

What were those conversations like with Puff well you were doing the album, I mean about his pain, you know, what he was going through. He never really got into detail with me about it, but I knew because I know, I know him and I knew him, and I knew what he was dealing with. What he was just, you know, like any man, didn't want to discuss it with his little sister. Me. On the other hand, I was, you know, dying in public, so everybody knew what I was dealing with.

But I didn't want to really tell him what I was dealing with because I didn't want him to kill somebody. So I just but he knew, though he knew, and so you know, he said, just put it in the records, just put just so mad. When I've seen Casey do that interview where he was I was, like the international interview, yes, and then they asked you to question. I mean, I had to do the worst, like honestly, like disgusting because as women looking at it like that's Mary, like show

some respect, damn Jay Blithe. But like you said, at that time, you didn't even know exactly it was embarrassing. But look how I was treating myself, you know, I mean I can't. I'm not taking a whole blame, but I had to take responsibility for me. This is what was lightening the lol. You know, I'm not pointing the finger. You did it. You did a lot of people did it.

But I gotta fix it, period. And you talk about forgiveness too on there, So what is it past as a forgiveness like for you when it kind of sell other things that you've been through. Like you said, you can't take all the responsibility. You just got to release people. Just release them, and that's it. I can't be responsible for what you did, and I can't keep pointing my finger at you for what you did. I write you did it. I don't never have to see you again.

I don't never have to deal with you again, but I do have to deal with me every single day. And I'm not going to carry the poison of unforgiveness in my heart. You don't even know that I'm feeling this, feeling like this all my life. So I don't want to be stuck and dying every day. You know, every time you get stuck in um unforgiveness and you just get stuck, it's like you dying every day. You're losing yourself again. It's like I want to grow, I want

to I want more. So you do forgive everybody, but you just don't want to see it. You just dont want to be like, Yeah, forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciliation. I need to reconcile. All you just need to know is that I forgive you. And please don't come over here, because every day I have to remember that I forgive you. Like that's it's a process. We have to remember that we forgave a person because when you see him, you gotta remember what made you forgive them. Yes, I'm to

forgive face. What allowed you to say that all those people that hurt you that you said, you know what you hurt me? You might not even apologize when I forgive you? What what allowed you to do that? Because I'm not I can't. I'm not there yet. I don't have any time to waste on you, you know, me being mad at you, like I just I don't care

dealing with success, that's right. Yeah, I just gotta I gotta keep pushing, I gotta keep moving, and if you don't, you're gonna you know, you're just gonna be stuck and being stuck is the worst thing that can happen to you, just stuck and you just so many people just stuck in nineteen ninety four. I don't I don't want to be stuck in nineteen nineteen. I don't want to be stuck in twenty twenty. I want to be already in twenty twenty one thinking about the next thing. But I

can't move if I'm still in nineteen ninety four. Pissed at you, got you all pissed yourself. That's why, That's why I love that scene where you just talking to your younger self, because I was sitting there like, how do you forgive your younger self? How do you give your younger self at grace? You know, and you talk to her with so much care because it's you, it's your child. When I look at him, like, gosh, she hurts so much. She's been through hell. I love her.

I gotta, And I look at the little girl pictures she's been through hell. I gotta. I gotta take care of her because she's me and if I don't take care of her, she can get me hurt. Right when we come back, we got more with Mary J. Blige. Let's get into a Mary Mini mix man. Mary said, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning everybody, and Steve j Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Mary J. Blige.

And what the different was when you said you talked about all the things that you dealt with as a child, and they were all hard and nasty. I wouldn't want that for anybody. But then when you said this more that I can't even talk about, I was like, what's the more? Because I mean, you you you said some things that are so horrible, Like I'm like you, you were dealing with a lot, and the fact that you were able to climb out of it is a blessing. And who was there besides your sister to help you

crawl out of those situations? It was just me, my mom and my sister, two women living in the hood, no male figure. I mean, it was hell just getting to the store, my mother going to work, leaving us with people she thinks she can trust. And that's life, you know what I mean. And my mother's a soldier and we just watched her and mimicked her, you know. During that interview, when you were watching your younger self, you said that you used to be mean, right, so

I'm like, never smile, she said, never smile? And you didn't like the interviewer. You said, you must not have liked the interviewer that was doing it. I know I didn't, okay, So what would make you like not like somebody? And was that a reputation because you yourself said you were mean? Was it a reputation you had because I haven't heard Mary with me, but you were going through a lot,

and sometimes people don't understand that. And I feel like even today when you interview these celebrities, you don't people think it's a perfect life, but they also don't understand what goes on behind the scenes. And so was that something that hindered you in any way? Was it a reputation? It absolutely hindered me. And I had a reputation for being a bit and being difficult and not making it to interviews one time, not making it to shows. And

I was doing all of that. I was bad. My thing was I didn't trust anybody, and it took me a long time to trust. I still don't really trust people that much. But then I was just on guard straight out of the hood, like please, just don't say nothing stupid. And it seemed like everyone that interviewed me was saying something stupid and asking the same stupid questions over and over again. But what I realized when I

got older is that that's their job. And I realized that I have to learn how to respect people's job, even if they're being stupid. Did you ever rectify that, like go back and talk to people later? And I did. I remember I had to go to the to the record label, and um, just apologize to so many people. And when I apologize to all those people, they were like like they were holding their hearts, like like they was like, thank you so much. And I was like, oh my god, and I must have been a monster

and I don't. I don't even remember all the stuff I did. And they were coming up to me and telling me that I was cursing them out, and you know, I remember some of it, but some people, I was like, I don't even remember your face. I was just going off. That's because I didn't trust anybody and I was on guard. How difficult was it because you know, we were all in high school and we don't see how hard it took We just knew Mary Jim Blas signed and all of a sudden, Reminists was cool and in real love

out the window. How long did it take for you to get going? Was it a long drive or was it just first single in the pop Well? The first thing I did was with jeff Red m Jeff Red was already signed and I went. I started singing background with him on some of his out on his records, and then I did the Apolo with him. If you look at the Apollo, that's me in the background singing with Jeffred And that was my one of my moments.

But I had to go back to slow Mom after that, and after the father MC video, I had to I still had to go home. It was terrible. Star in the Hood though. When you came home, listen to my friends that hated me, I was. I was. I had to fight, My family had to fight. We had to. It was rough and I didn't realize what was Now. Did I go back and think about him, like, wow, we was really in the hood still while the Breakfast was charting, It's crazy. I wondered what was going through

your mind? Because you know, you performed Anita Baker for Andre, and then you got the opportunity to perform with Anita Baker. What was going through your mind in that moment when you was performing with it? What was? What was? What was that Mary telling little Mary? I was just so happy that that Anita Baker existed, because if it wasn't for Anita Baker, I wouldn't be sitting here if it wasn't for that tape that I made accord up in

the Rapture Andre when it came to house. So when I was singing with her on stage, and I was about to cry, like cryy five minutes because that woman was my angel. But who knew that one of my favorite songs was want to get Me the deal that I got? That's why you kept telling to take it away because you about to cry. And that's why it seems like don't cry because I was being mess Do you realize how big you are for the culture, what you did for the culture? Do you step back and

be like, damn, like you know who she is? Yet? Do you know who you are? Now? I do now. It took me a while. It took me. Twenty sixteen was the day I woke up and said, all right, I'm it I earned it, like I went through hell to hell to hell to hell to hell to hell to hell, and twenty sixteen was like enough of this hell man. So it took me a minute to learn

how to receive. But I'm receiving it now since since you know now realize who you are in the impact you have on people, that make you more intentional about about your words. Yes, and it makes me know that it's a responsibility. And I have to take all this with humility. I can't just take it like how to take it with thank you and grace. Thank you so much. But you know, when it's goal time, I'm just I'm monstuitted, you know, from performing, you know, to whatever I do,

I give one hundred percent. I can't think about what someone's thinking about me or what someone's not thinking about me. I gotta just go. Is there ever a time where Mary would do a versus because we talk about unbeatable artists right in my opinion, there was just a rumor about Tony Braxton and they had to clear that up. I don't know what the verses would do for me. I'll do like I'm I don't know what verses can

do for Mary J plies right now. But um, right now, it's not something that's on the top of my list. It got to be extended one hundred songs versus but you know, because you got too many songs, Like, I don't even know, how could you narrow it down to twenty? You couldn't. I say it all the time, it's not even close. Now you dedicated to doctor mister Andre Horrell, who you called dad. At what point did he become

that father's figure in your life? When um, I was in the music industry alone with no father figure, and he was there a lot, like he was there to talk me out of my foolishness. Why are you doing this? Why are you doing drugs? Why are you doing alcohol? Like like I would hide from him because I didn't want want him to see me, you know, in that condition, because I knew he had something to say, and he'd just be giving me that look like like a father,

like I don't like this. Yeah, And I was hide and I was hiding all the stuff I was doing from puff. He didn't really know. Could you ever love again, like be in love again with somebody? Would you ever have that trust for somebody again? Or no? Love is beautiful for the moment. You know, I would never reject love, but marriage is something that I would reject right now. I can also tell you this about watching the doc. You have been doing a lot of healing work, do

you do? You might share what you've been doing, just some self help books, prayer, looking at myself real good, always checking myself, like if something is bothering me about someone, why is something about you bothering me? Just you know, I have friends and people that are into self healing, to that of teachers and stuff like that. So I take information that makes sense to me from anywhere where I can get it, you know, like if you have a good word, I'll take a good work. You got

a word, I'll take a word from you. Because prayer just reveals to you you you know, and sometimes the worst thing to look at is you. But I'd rather see me acting ugly or see need needing whatever kind of help I need so I can know how to fix it. And that's really it's no, it's no, like, oh, you know, I visited you know, all the strengths in the world, which nothing's wrong, nothing wrong with that at all, you know. But I think the best shrink is us, like we just need to be able to look at

ourselves and and say it's okay. I know to Roger, been on you going to therapy though, No, like we don't. We don't badge each other with stuff like that. It's like when you're ready, I feel like that's a Capricorn thing too. Yeah, we don't get in a way. We're like, look, we love it all right, you're safe. Call me out something going wrong now, you know, But we don't like you need to you need because we don't want nobody you need to on us. We're not just mental. Were like, yeah,

they don't move. We got more with Mary J. Blige when we come back. Let's get into another Mary mix. Right, it's the breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is stej Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. We're still kicking with Mary J. Blige. Ye, Now, what about your instincts. You talk a lot about how you have really great instincts where there are times that you feel like you should have followed your instincts and you

didn't and you disregarded it. Every day, everybody, damn every day. From from nineteen ninety four to for a long time. Yeah, when I didn't, when I don't listen to my gut, on my instincts, disaster, I mean like big disasters, Like I've had some big disasters that I didn't follow mine. It was the moment when you say, okay, God, I

finally hear you twenty sixteen. Yeah, okay, okay. What got you into, you know, saying you know what, I'm gonna sit down and do a serious like you know, we've seen you in movies before, and usually that might be a short stand and then you can go back on the road and you do what you do. But now like you have to stay in one space, you have to film, like you know, last night, you're a film into midnight? Like what made you say I'm gonna do this full time? From Power character? I mean, I'm a

Power fan, been a Power fan. So that's why I'm on the show right now. Um, this character is so much fun and it's very cathartic, Like I get to just blow people away that I always wanted to blow away in my mind and didn't forget about it when I came home and I get cursed to do all types of just crazy stuff, you know, So the art is what makes you just say, you know, I'm gonna stay up and I'm gonna do my job. Wait, when you're acting, your picture ain't blowing away somebody else in

real life? Well whatever way, Well it's method acting. You gotta do just some dark places. So whatever you have to be a real place. If you got a real place, whether it belonged to you with somebody else, visit that place and make the character real. I go back and visit horrible things that have happened in my life and wow, and I just do you have time for yourself though? Because it seems like that character is gonna continue to go.

That character's not going anywhere, seems like it's getting spinoffs and all types of stuff. Do you have time for you know what? Married time? Yeah? I take that married time. You know, I'll be exhausted, but I get the time I need. What did you learn about yourself after after completing my life documentary? Man? That um, I'm a really

strong individual. Yeah, and it's gracious. I mean that that documentary you forgett and I don't want to forget, but you forget the influence when you start seeing the young girls and saying they look up to you, and they respect you. They've been through the things that you've been through, And how did that make you feel when you see because it was young girls that their mama had to be playing your music, and how does that make you

feel beautiful? Because then I didn't know what anybody cared like, I didn't know Alicia keys Kid, I didn't know nobody get you know what, I didn't know nobody cared to see. I didn't know that then whoever was out, what was you know was doing and trying to be Like Mary J. Blige, I was like it didn't matter because I didn't matter.

I just yeah, you understand what I'm saying. It was just in your life and not understanding what you meant to other people because you were just trying to survive, like you said exactly, and make it through and do your job and work and not even considering like these people are coming up because sometimes people will be coming up to you and it didn't even look like you comprehend it, like how exciting it was? Yeah, because I didn't know I deserved any of it. I didn't know

I was supposed to be praised. I didn't know I was supposed to be loved. So I didn't know anybody even cared. And you were demo yourself down, you said in your own relationship, because you didn't want to shine too, right, that's how you know. It's I just I didn't want, you know, just like in the hood, I just didn't

want people messing with me. You know, you you get too happy, or you get too brave or too bragged, doocious you gotta fight somebody or you gotta you know, this guy might start getting insecure because you think you beautiful. And so that's those are the things I had to lay down, like excuse my friend that I need to live, I need to breathe. I gotta take my time in my space for me. The hell with y'all. I suffered

too much for y'all. So there's no more that. So even back in the day when when guys like Jay would say I did songs with Mary Jay Blode, I feel like he was saying that out of excitement. That didn't do nothing for you a moment, Yeah, yeah for a second, and then I'll be back to you know what I mean. It was like, all right, that's so, and then now what Yeah, the end of the documentary is a new song. I never heard that song befo us. I'm assuming it's new. It's new, Yeah, it's it's new.

With the documentary, Are you gonna do a new album? Is that the process? Have you started working already or I'm already in the process. I'm more already there. Maddison Square Garden, I was talking about this right First, I want to ask the room and that I want to ask you marry Maddison Square Garden is sold out? You got one song to before? What song you want to hear married before? From me? Um? Either either My Life the title track to My Life? Just one yeah, probably

the title track to My Life. That's a gospel record. That record is about God. Come on you just one record, man, that's it. I can't say just one record, come on ye, come on ye. I don't know. That's all hard to because I have a lot of great memories. It's like a soundtrack to my life. So there's some good memories, some bad ones too, to some do I want to hear something that's like fun that was a great memory, like my life because he helps me cry when I

need a good cry. Now, what would you before? I do? Like be happy though that'll always be like my song because I feel that one song got to perform, one song sold out. What's the song you performing? My life? My life? Yeah, that's the one man. That's why I wonder even that about you. And you say, um, you know, don't when you're feeling that, don't you have a fake it? It's like, is that why you were like so closed off maybe back in the day and interviews because you

didn't want to show you're such a great shooter. You didn't want to show people what you was really going through. I didn't want people to see me cry. I didn't want to see people to see me smile. I don't want people to see anything that could lead to them thinking I'm soft in any way because I just didn't trust people with my emotions and my feelings. I just didn't trust them with that. Partly because as soon as you open up, they pull a rock from under you.

You bust your head on the floor. So yeah, that's what that was about. My last question, because I can tell you ready to go, How would this whole more healed version of Mary J. Blige tell younger Mary how not to get in her way? Well, I always say if she could if she can hear me, which I don't think she could. It's two different marries. The younger Mary is not going to listen to nobody, So all the healed Mary definitely can't tell her what to do. But if she would listen, I would just say, stop

being afraid of you. That's you. That big thing you're feeling that you're running from, that's you. All right, well a gentleman, Mary, Mary Jane mother. Congratulations are the documentary one? We can't wait to hear more music. No, I love you in a real way like your Your music has been the soundtrack to my life in a in a real, real way. And even now as I'm older, I understand the music more so. A song like my life hits different. A song like be happy when I'm you know, dealing

with the depression or something that hits different. So just just thank you for being you. Yeah. Thanks. Not too many artists that you could say they're music has withsted the test of time. Well then hears has. Thank you guys. I perceived my flowers right now? Thank you? What can we have the song? Can we play the song right now? So the documentary on the documentary, No, that ain't that's kind of song. What's the one you want us to play? I don't have it, but when I have it, I

want to hear it. And it's coming. It's coming, and it's Mary J. Blise. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning. She's filling the team. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, Britney Spears just had her day in court. She had her court hearing yesterday and everyone's talking about this. She talked about her dad, her management team, her conservatorship, which she wants to end now.

At first she didn't know that she could end it, but now that she found out that she has the ability to do that, she is finally being heard. Here's what she said about how she is not okay after I've lied and told the whole world I'm okay and I'm happy. It's a lie. I thought I just maybe I said that enough, maybe I might become happy because I've been in denial, I've been in shock. I am traumatized. I'm not happy. I can't sleep, I'm so angry it's insane,

and I'm depressed. I cry every day. And the reason I'm telling you this is because I don't think how the state of California can have all this written in the court documents from the time I showed up and do absolutely nothing. Just hire with my money another person to keep and keep my dad on board. I just want my life back. And it's been thirteen years and it's enough. She's been under conservatorship since two thousand and eight,

with her father Jamie Spears as the conservator. Of her sixty million dollar estate was also made public at her request, and she addressed the court by a telephone, speaking for about thirty minutes. Well, what is a conservatory? What is that? In order for her to have that money? She has to it's court ordered. So basically they tell her what she can and can't do, and so they make kind of the rules. It's kind of like having a Yeah,

but I thought they do that for kids. I until you're a certain age to be in control your money, not the rate mental star r Yeah, if you're not mentally. I don't know if y'all saw that movie. I care a lot on Netflix, but it's given me. Yes, I was talking to Joey about it, who works here. It's given us very much. Those vibes. Now, so she also

talked about being put on lithium. After I said no to vegas, my therapist sat me down in a room and said he had a million phone calls about how I was not cooperating in the helsal's and I haven't been taking my medication. All of this was a false He immediately the next day put me on lithium. I couldn't even have a conversation with my mom or dad really about anything. There were six different nurses in my homes and they wouldn't let me get in my car to go anywhere. Not only did my family not do

a goddamn thing, my dad was all for it. He was the one who approved all of it, all right. So basically, she said she was forced to do her Vegas residency. She said it was too much and the lithium had a terrible effect on her. Her therapist was uncaring, she said, even after she wanted to put an end, they said she was being difficult, and she said her dad didn't care. Neither did her family. She also talked about not being in control of her own body and

having to be forced to be on birth control. I want to be able to get married and have a baby, I was told right now in the conservatorship, I'm not able to get married or have a baby. I have a ID and side of myself right now so I don't get pregnant. I wanted to take the ID out so I could start trying to have another baby, but this so called team won't let me go to the doctor to take it out because they don't want me to have children any more children. Wow, this sounds really

like a lie. I feel really bad for all right now. In addition to this, she talked about the rehab facility that she was ordered to go to. I worked seven days a week, no days off, which in California the only similar thing to this is called sex trafficking. Making anyone work work against their wheel, taking all their possessions way, credit card, cash, phone, passport, card, and placing them in a home where they work with the people who live with them. They all lived in the house with me,

the nurses, the twenty four seven security. They watched me changed every day naked, morning, noon and night. If I didn't do any of my meetings and worked from eight to six at night, which is ten hours a day, seven days a week, no days off, I wouldn't be able to see my kids or my boyfriend. Oh, I

can't imagine having to go through that now. She also talked about the doctor that she had and how she thanked God when he died and the clever step in Westlake is identical to doctor Benson who died, the one who illegally, yes one hundred percent abused me by the treatment he gave me, and did he totally honest with you when he passed away. I got all my knees and thank God. In other words, my team is pushing

with pushing it with me again. I have trapped phobia as being in a small rooms because they're trauma locking me up and for four months in that place is not okay for them to send me. Sorry, I'm going fast to that small room like that twice a week with another new therapist. I pay that I never even approved. I don't like it. I don't want to do that.

She said to you once. Everyone in jail, my dad and anyone involved in this conservativeship and my management who played a huge role in punishing at me when I said no, ma'am, they should be in jail. My precious body who's worked for my dad for the past thirteen years, trying to be so good and pretty, so perfect, when he works me so hard, when I do everything I'm told. In the state of California, allowed my ignorant father to take his own daughter, who only has a role with

me if I work with him. They set back the whole course and allowed him to do that to me. That's given these people I've worked for way too much control. All right, So the judge is gonna look to doctor, psychiatrists and others who have evaluated her over the years to see if they can end her conservatorship if it's still necessary, if you've spent thirteen years, and I saw

a lot of people weighing in. Justin timber Lake said, no one should ever be held against their will or ever have to ask permission to access everything they've worked so hard for. Jess and I send our love and our absolute support to Brittany during this time. We hope the courts and her family make this right and at her live however she wants to live. Mariah said, we love you, Britney, stay strong, Brandy said, sending on my

loving supports to Britney Spears. Andy Cohen hashtag free Brittany. Yeah, I'm definitely sending her healing energy. But I mean, I couldn't. I don't know, I couldn't come to a conclusion about anything because like, yeah, we just don't know. That sounds

horrific though people watching you change it's true. Yeah, No, we all know people that believe things, like we all have friends and we all have a friend in this room that has a similar family member that makes things up in her mind and they believe it, and that could be the situation. I'm saying. I'm not saying this is the situation, but we don't know what's necessarily true. I hope that Judge is able to get a therapist there, a doctor there to really see what's going on in

that situation. It's gonna be a bunch of records of that she's been going to that much therapy and seeing a psychiatrists that long. It's gonna be a bunch of records. And she's already done hearings. They just were not made public. She requested for this one to be made public. And I bet you if you talk to those people in her family, they feel like they're protecting her from something. You probably feel like they're protecting her from herself. I

don't know. Yeah, also getting paid. All right, well that is your rumor report. The only thing that my heart goes out to Brittany though this sounds like the way that what she's describing is happening to her, the fact that she can't make decisions about her own body. I think that's awful. All right, all right, Charlomagne, Donkey today, Yeah,

donkey of today. Man, I don't really have an individual that I'm giving a donkey of to day two, but I'm using something I saw yesterday as a teachable moment. So we'll talk about it for after that hour. All right, we'll get to that next. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. Your morning's will never be the same. Hey, it's Angela yee. Don't let weak care hold you back. Carol's Daughter's got his strength collection supports here as it

gets longer. For here that's fifteen times stronger after one use available at Carol's Daughter dot com. And you're a local retailer, it's gonna be a dusty because right now you want some grill. It's time for donkey of the day. So if we ever feel I need to be a doctor man with the heat. Did she get the lease? I had become donkey of the day to practice club, bitches. Donke here to day for Thursday, June twenty fourth is

a teachable moment. It's such a teachable moment that I don't want to hand out donkey here to day to an individual because it's bigger than anyone individual. Okay, it's something that is impacting all of us. And I don't know what we have to do to get out of this mindset. I really don't. I don't care what your race is, your gender is, your sexuality is, what religion

you are, what your financial status is. None of that matters because we all have and all could be impacted by what I want to talk about the day, and that's social media. Okay. It's a reason I recommend books like Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport to people. It's the reason I recommend the book The Internet to the Internet

by Gopie last name I can't pronounce. I recommend these books because it pains me when I care too much about what the Internet thinks, and it pains me when I see other people getting caught up in what the Internet thinks too. The latest example I saw was yesterday with Robert Griffin the Third Okay, the NFL player. Okay, the headlines for this story are he Larry us By the way, Black sports Online said Robert Griffin the Third goes viral for telling people he's proud to have a

white wife with a booty. Larry Brown Sports said Robert Griffin the Third since bizarrely racist tweet about his wife. I didn't think it was racist, but whatever, total pro sports headline was. Robert Griffin the Third says he was pointing out that white women have ass cheeks after posting his wife's booty. Somebody texted me this yesterday and I had no idea what was going on, but I'm clear now.

Apparently RG three posted a video of his wife working out with the caption, come on, bro, your wife is white. Also very proud that my wife is white. Very random.

But he went on to clarify that he was getting some nasty comments when he pointed pointed out his wife was having a hard time finding filling out a sun dress because her booty is too big, I don't know, or finding a sun dress because her booty is too big to show the video pointing out her cheeks and that she was breaking the white woman's stereotype about them not having a booty. Look your Twitter, your choice, okay,

your social media or your choice. I told y'all yesterday we have this tool called a smartphone, and we got access to all these platforms YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, you know what they are, and it makes us want to say something. We need content, whether you are a willing content creator or just someone in this case like RG three, who is constantly listening to people say things about him, so you feel like you have to say something back. But

when it comes to some things, I have one question. Why, RG three, that's your wife, who cares if the world knows she got asks? Those cheeks are for you, okay, and if you love it then it should not matter who don't like it. Why are you allowing the world to have an opinion about your wife? Not? Trust me, I'm sure she's got her own social media. People know that's, you know, AG three's wife, so they critique her already,

But why are you encouraging that. I know you're a football player and football as a team sport, but man, we as individuals have to remember we have nothing to prove to anybody. We only play for ourselves. I'm not even lying. This hurts my feelings because RG three or thirty one years old, successful by all intents and purposes. Okay,

he's one in life. If he feels the need to prove something on social media, if he feels the need to prove something on social media to a bunch of people he has never met in his life, imagine how a kid feels. Let's imagine how a kid who hasn't accomplished anything yet, just growing up, trying to figure things out. Imagine how they feel. That's no way to live. This is why I don't want my kids on social media, because it's literally creating a generation of people who do

not think for themselves. People don't even formulate their own thoughts anymore because they're too busy caring about what social media thinks and whatever the popular opinion is online they run with that. Do you know for years online they said my wife was white? Did you ever see me post a picture to prove other? You know why? Because I don't care the truth, don't need no defense, only witnesses,

and the biggest witnesses me. A lie is a lie, no matter how many people on social media believe it, and the truth will be the truth regardless of who says it isn't so when they come in at you. Robert Griffin The third about your wife having an absence of ass who cares as long as you know the truth? Okay, this scares me because when does this need to prove something? The social media stop. What if they would have said, hey, your wife don't give good filatio, or you're gonna post

video proven you know that she does. I mean, I mean this sincerely because it's bigger than Robert Griffin. The third, Okay, how many of y'all are truly dictating your own existence online? Are you really moving to the b to your own drum? Are you being dictated by the crowd? I know it's hard, okay,

but don't follow the crowd. Let the crowd follow you. Hell, I don't even want the crowd to follow me, Okay, the way my anxiety is set up, I don't want nobody following me because my anxiety makes me think I'm always being followed. I just don't want social media to drive us crazy. But maybe it already has. Okay. Social media is a tool that we control. It shouldn't control us, all right, because these people are savages. Don't give them that kind of power. They are savages who don't care.

They don't care about you, They don't care about your wife. You just the entertainment for the day. And please remember that same social media crowd that will applaud your coordination is the same crowd that will applaud your beheading. In fact, they will be the ones that attempt to cut your head off because people like a show. Stop entertaining the clowns.

Are you become a part of the circus. Please give anyone who has ever fell victim to following the social media crowd, which would be all of us the biggest he are all right, Well, thank you for that dunky to day. Yes, ma'am.

on YouTube? Though not necessarily mean? My focus is heard? Okay? Um a lot of people. Now let me tell you my lip service. The Womanizer gets a lot of rave reviews. Have you ever heard of that? No? Okay? So the Womanis is a great toy that you guys can use in the bedroom for her and it's like a massages.

Theorious and vibrates a lot of people like that one. Uh. They also have one that's a sucking vibrator for women, so it has a lot of suction on that, so you can try that one as well, um for yourself. You know, they have the ring. I don't know if I can say the word, but it rhymes with lock, but a lock ring that you can put around your the base of your penis. Have you tried that? Yes? Okay, so you've already experimented with a lot of toys. What about bullets? Have you ever used the bullet? I have

not used bullets. I was pretty much just looking for brand names. But I look up the woman I am you talk to mom. Yeah, I also want to recommend that you guys try the bullet. You could use that on you and on her. But they're like these little tiny vibrators. They look like bullets, and you can, you know, put those inside of you and have them vibrate. So it's like a little tiny cute sex toy that you can use. Bullet bullet. Okay, great, thank you, thank you.

Tell me what us I want to know what you guys have used our body pretty much just the basic deals like the double ended dealdos, um my pregnant vibrators pretty much, just the base based if you find it your local space shop. Okay, so you want to move things up a notch pretty much. Yes, Do you guys do any type of um sado masochism or any type

of fetish and dress ups or anything like that? No, not that, but no no role play or no, well you guys should try to move into that, and maybe what about handcuffs or tying her rapper, tying line folds a little simple things like that and then using like a feather very much. Yes, all right, sounds like y'all are kind of advance. So you know what, I recommend going to one of those sex toy shops and actually

seeing what they have there. And they have a lot of experts in the store that can walk you through some things, and that can be really fun too for y'all to go in together and try some new things. Okay. Yeah, and I was, and a lot of people are trying this whole glory whole thing right now too, so you could try that. No, no, no, no, no, that's some dangerous No. I mean, y'all do it with each other at home, you know. Oh, Okay, okay, okay, all right,

I'm with a stranger. Yeah, okay, good luck than thank you. That's some fun always. All right, let's ask you. See we can answer your questions about anything, and there is no shame in anything you have to say. All right, ask ye eight hundred five eight five one on five one. If you need relationship advice here now it's the breakfast Club. Good morning. I'm gonna get some real advice with Angela ye gets ask Ye morning. Everybody is dj Envy Angela Yee,

Charlomne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're in the middle of asking ye, good morning, good morning, good morning. Hey. Can you take us on bluetooth for speaker please? Yes, sir, absolutely. What's your question for you? Bro? Good morning, breakfast club. So ye, My question is so, just recently, I'm in a relationship with this what this beautiful woman. She's currently going through a divorce right now and she was raised by her soon to be ex husband. So I was

very angry. I tried to get her to go to the cope. Um she didn't want to do it. So I'm trying to figure out what should I do? How should I feel? Okay, so I understand. So you said she was by her soon to be ex husband. You want her to go to the police to report this, and she's not willing to do that right now, and you know that's a difficult decision. Again, it is her decision. But what you can do is be as supportive as possible. I think you should encourage her to talk to someone

like a therapist or a sexual assault counselor. I know they have the National Sexual Assault Hotline that numbers eight hundred and six to five six. Hope if she wants to speak to someone, and that way she can have a record of it, because the worst thing you want to do is not be able to bring this up later if she should change her mind. But I do think speaking to a counselor or a therapist will help her understand that it is in no way her fault

because she might be having some feeling. A lot of times when things happen, you think about what could I have done differently? Is this my fault? How could this have been prevented? Did I put myself in a bad situation? Am I going to ruin his life? If they have kids together. Women think about all of those things and a therapist might help her to see things from a different point of view and understand that it was in no way at all her fault. And another thing you

should encourage her to do is write everything down. That way she can remember every single detail in case there's an instance where she does decide that she wants to go to the police or report this, she'll have all of that information. But speaking to a counselor speaking to a therapist that can help her see things who's an expert from a different point of view, I think would be one of the most helpful things you can do, because again, you want to be there to support and

comfort her. You want her to be able to trust you, but you don't want to make her feel ashamed or have any type of judgment on whatever her decision is. Got it, and I try to suggest some of those things to her, But I think that the problem arose where she didn't want to be the demise or be a victim, and it was kind of hard for her to em and grasp the concept of what happened. And when we had the conversation, it was kind of like she she was kind of in denial. That's a problem.

Now we were running into but and she's a survivor, and she's a survivor we like to say survivor, so not a victim. But she survived this, and we want her to continue to thrive and to actually deal with whatever she might be feeling with that. And that might

be something that she needs to talk to somebody about. Again, if right now she's not ready to go to the police, I would encourage her to speak to someone and even you can call right because then they might be able to give you the tools that you would need to be able to talk to your girlfriend to better be able to help her, because that's a traumatic experience. You don't even know how this might affect her later, but you want her to be able to have whatever options

available to her in case she needs those. Okay, thank you so much. I love you, guys. I listen me all every morning. But thank you again so much. All right, thank you, and we commend you and appreciate you for being such a support to your girlfriend at a time like this. Absolutely gotta be okay, you two ask ye oh, that's tough, all right? Eight hundred five five one five

one Now we got rooms all the way. Now imagine that your house is so huge you didn't even know you had a tennis court until quarantine will tell you you who had this issue. All right, we'll get into that next. The breakfast by the breakfast club just got you looking so disgusting. She was like, I'm trying to kiss her. Listen to my attention in here right. Yes, all I know is I'd just be trying to do my work. And then Charlotte is like, have you ever had a penis that was so big that he walked

right in here? He says, you know you ever had a penis so big in your face that you just gotta tell the guy did say that. I told y'all the story about a guy who caught who caught his girl cheating on him. And when the guy, he said, when the guy jumped up, his penis was down in his ankles and he was like, man, just leave, man,

jell my house. That's what I'm saying. But when I'm doing work, all I heard you come in the room and say have you ever had a guy who's said when you came in the first time the second time, I'm like, all right, let me get back to work. So let's talk about ludicrous. He was talking to Ellen on The Ellen Show, and he was talking about not even knowing all the things that he had on his property. He has twenty two acres of land and he's not there a lot, and he's been finding things on his home.

So because of quarantine, this is probably the best property to quarantine at besides your house. Of course, I have like twenty two acres of land. Um. You know, I'm so used to traveling and never being here, so I'm finally able to enjoy the fruits of my labor. I'm finding things in my home and all my property that I never even knew were there. I actually have a Twitter sport, if you could believe it or not. I didn't even know that this was on this property of

free houses, um saunas that I'm finding. I believe it now. Yeah, And at first you said it was Cato's lying cats. I know as a huge property with a bunch of acres, So it makes sense now, Yeah, shout to Ludacris. He's definitely gonna have a car in the car Chella car showers. That's why. Yeah, first it was Capp Now I was awfulgot he got a car to car, But Ludacris, I can see that happened to. Boosey is another person that

he has a lot of acres. He just bought more acres that you could see it like, damn, I didn't know that was on his property. Two Chains is another one that has a lot of acres, so I can see that was Yeah. In Brooklyn and my Brownstone, I'm finding things I never knew exist. Where did you find mouse? Roach? Grab? That's what you think of Brooklyn Brownstones if we haven't. I've never had a mouse in my house. I have never had a mouse in my house. We've had a

couple of roaches. I'm not gonna lie, but I do have an exterminated that comes quarterly. Can't help it. But all I'm saying is, yes, there's things I've discovered in my all right now, Ebony K. Williams is talking to the Jasmine Brand and she's talking about people being really critical of her and the race conversations that she's been having on the show and the editing. Here's what you have to say about editing on Real Housewives of New Yorker.

She's the only black woman on Real Housewives of New York Ever in that franchise, you know, I have to say, to the editor's credit, so far, it has been a very accurate depiction. They have not cut anything that I

would deem essential. Now, obviously the conversation where the next episode we're all sitting in the circle of ramanas and we're going through why it is unacceptable to call a black woman angry and all the back A lot was cut from that, and some of what was cut was a conversation we had around white fragility, So you know it was it was much more productive than the edit show because we talked for longer. Right, I'm sure they

couldn't show all that. I actually watched that episode where she was talking about her white fragility and they were mad at Ebeney Kay Williams. They were having a conversation and whenever Kay Williams raises her voice a little bit, she's angry black woman. But other people do it, it's no issue, all right. Now, here's what you have to say about people who thinks that she brings up a

race too much on the show. Not rob. This is my work, So it's not that any other black woman would do it like I do it, And by all means, I invite other black women to join this platform. I am an active recruitment of it, and I don't know if I'll be back for another season. I don't know if I'll be invited, and I don't know if I'll accepted. They were allowed to have an all white, pretty ridiculous show for twelve years. But now I'm here and listen,

I've got the one bringing these issues up. The only thing I do bring up a lot is black excellence. I mean, it's hard enough to bring up race on the show when you're the only black woman on the show. And if you know Ebony, that's who she is. You know she's a black woman. She's attorney who shows up with her unapologetically black self at all times. I don't think that most of them, except for Leah, even really no black people. I can totally see that. And there's

woman on each other. I guess she used still work for to work pop for somebody. But yeah, she always sounds crazy. I know they had a conversation one time about race. She was like, yeah, I know black people worked for Puff. Yeah yeah. I mean he was like, no, you don't know black people because you worked for Puff. We'll make sure you listen to the holding Court podcast with Ebony Kay Williams and Dustin Ross on The Black Affect i Heeart Radio podcast network, available everywhere you listened

to podcasts. Yes and shout out to my Boo, dust and too. I just saw him at the screening for Zola that we had all right now. Scottie Pippen was on the Dan Lebottarde Show and he was talking about Michael Jordan cheating to win bets. You know, he's highly competitive. Everybody talks about that and they say there's some instances where he allegedly cheated to win some random prop bets. Here is what Scottie Pippen had to say. He would

get the bag attendants at the airline. He would pay them so his bag would come out first and he would win money from suckers. You didn't know he was doing that. I'm gonna go against that. It's say Michael Jordan had his own beautiful bags. At this time, we didn't have team bags. So when you saw a bag come on and it had to jump man on it.

I'm sure if those guys working at the airport that was the first bag that they grab so he had an advantage, But I don't think it was something that he intensively did, but I will say that he cheated on a few of his dests. He would bet on things like whose bag would come out first? That's hilarious. That's a competitive that has to be exhausted being around somebody like that all the time. That that competitive that I'm a competitive person, But god dang, whose bag comes out?

That's hilarious. Yeah, So imagine that you just been on everything. If I could play some bets on what's gonna happen in here with you and MVY one day. I mean, you got too much money too, because you just got money to do whatever, whatever, just like whatever. And by the way, some of these people really do burn name money. Nowaday, he's like, now, let me just make a bet. Is that an addiction? Yes? Oh yeah, And it doesn't matter

if you cheat while gambling, because it's gambling. There's no it's no honor among steves, right, so they're already gambling at the Yeah, you can do something, you can get out against the law, but it's like it can become an addiction. That's a bad habit, right, So it's like, okay, I'll cheat out at the one doesn't matter, Yes, it does matter. It's like cheating at the casino. You can't do that, but you would. They cheated that woman in Detroit.

Million dollars they cheating, so why can't she cheat? All right? And lastly, I just want to shout out to UM. I just want to shout out to iHeartRadio's Black Music Month Sessions presented by Carol's Daughter.
