Melissa Mccarthy and Azealia Banks Interview and more

yea Charlomne, the guy Peace of the planet. It is Friday, Yes, It's Friday. Yes, man, the weekend is finally here. It's been a great week. It has been a great week, and I think we ended the week strong today. That's where has strong. We have two people joining us this morning. We have a zell Your Banks. We have a Zellia Banks. Uh dropping a clue bombs for a Zellia Banks. Explaining to the people who are zell your Banks is if they don't know, because I'm sure an artist from Harlem,

you know she tours internationally. Um, A lot of people focus on what she says. Yeah, her The thing she says more than her music sometime, but she still has a cult like following of a fan who rock with her music. So she'll be here this morning. I never met with you guys yesterday. Yeah, I never met the young lady. So yeah, I never met her either. It's funny because we have a relationship through text and phone calls. Okay, yeah, but we never physically met. All right. And also Melissa

McCarthy will be joining us. She has a movie out this weekend. It's called Light for the Party. Yeah, it comes out to day. I never met Melissa McCarthy either. But Melissa McCarthy's worth sixty million dollars. You are a bird. That the first thing you look up when you when you see a person's coming. She's the number two highest paid actress in Hollywood, I believe. Yeah, Melissa get to the money. McCarthy. Here you go, she gets her coins. Well.

I can't wait to hear these interviews because yesterday I was not here. I had to leave early. I had to do this Made in New York panel with the City of New York, and then I had to host the essence upfront, and that's where they present what they have coming up this year for advertisers, right, So I got to learn a lot about Essence magazine. You know, the Essence fast this year is probably going to be

like the biggest one ever. Are they putting Melissa McCarthy on the cover of the new Essence magazine because she's not a black woman, But Essence does do a lot for black women. Essence is definitely a staple for us in our community. So I was honored to be there

hosting their upfront yesterday. I had a great time. And you know, the new owner of Essence is Richard Dennis who used to own Shade Moisture, and he was up here before and people were giving him a hard time for an ad that Shade Moisture had put out and then they were managed. Yeah, Richard us he is an amazing car collection, like like, and then he sold he sold Shade. Most people were so mad, they were like, how could you sell Shade Moistures for black people? See

how black people sell out? But then he went and bough and started his own venture capitalist funds to actually invest in other companies for people who are doing startups. So that's what you do when you have a business. When you have a business, sometimes you sell your business, and he couldn't talk about what he was doing at the time, people thought he just cashed out kids. What people thinking like, maybe care because they had an emotional connection to the projects of Shade moist just so they

did care. That's the fact. He just sold it. He sold it and then he put out that ad and the ad had a lot of white people in it, and these about that the ad was. But that's what you're supposed to doing business, supposed to build your business up to a certain level and then sell it in the capitalism keep doing more business and helping your community more and more and more. That's what you're supposed to do.

But I am going to actually get him to come up here before Essence Fest and just discuss everything that's been going on in his new ventures, because I think it's very interesting. So if you have an idea, hit him up and pitch it. Bring one of the nice cars when he comes too. I respect him because he hauled him shaped through all the pressure that he was enough to selling Shade Butter Moisture Difference and you know, and and let me apologize to all the dump trucks

and garbage men out there. I thought you about the apologize to the bar um, to the dump truck, garment with the barn barbs, who cares about the bat the garbage trunk and the only people that work sanitation because there on my way to work, I was cutting them off left and right. They would give me all types of fingers. But look, bro, I gotta get the first of all. How do you get around garbage trunk? Garbae trucks. Don't play them. Garbage trucks will stop in the middle

of the road and command the whole street. You must have never seen me drive. I don't play you that. I gotta like I don't care about my car. I closed my eyes. I was doing all types of absolutely get around. Let him know. I can't see what's going on. So if you put your garbage truck in front of me, we're gonna be here all day because we're gonna crash into each other. And nine times at the time they move out the way. But let me apologize because I

had to get the work. Bro. Sometimes y'all just gotta pull over to the right. You know people are late, and you know that garbage truck can't do zero to sixty and nine seconds, So just move over. To the right proper on the clues bars faull of garbage men out there. Work has got to I gotta deal with assholes like DJ Envy. You can't see that word, you jerk. I can't say no, you can't see that. You know, you can't say you know what. Let's get a star.

What's the front page news? What are we talking about? We're gonna be talking about waffle house. Another incident. This really broke my heart watching and this is just too many things happening at waffle house. No more passes for waffle House. Will tell you about a young man who was coming from the prom and things ended terribly. Now this is how he remember his prom night. All right, we'll get into all that when we come back. Keep

it locked it to breakfast club. Good morning, everybody is DJ Envy, angela Ye, Charlemagne the guy we all the breakfast club. Let's get in some front page news. Now, let's talk about what happened at waffle house. Now, I hope you guys saw this video yesterday. Now the video is of Anthony Wall. He's wearing a tuxedo and he's at an outside of the North Carolina waffle House. And you can see him being slammed up against the glass and then slammed onto the floor, choked. Just a lot

of excessive for us. And he's screaming to get your hands off of me. Listen to how it sounds, but recording, he's not supposed to be doing that, get get your hands off me. You Unfortunately I saw that video, Yeah I got Anthony was twenty two years old, and guess what he was doing. He was coming from taking his sixteen year old sister to the prom. So he was his sixteen year old sister's prom date. He took it

to waffle house. Afterward, he got into a situation with one of the employees because he complained about customer service, and apparently they it wasn't anything physical. The employee called the police. Why would he expect customer service at waffle house? You should expect copect anywhere. Man knock it off and gas. You're allowed, you're allowed to complain when the customer. Absolutely, that's the point. That's one of the that's one of

the experiences when you go to waffle house. You will complain about customer service at waffle Now that's not known at the old wiffle houses and he had his hands up at first when the cop first pulled him out, he had his hands up. The cop grabbed him by his neck and throw the planned him against the glass

really hard, just banged his head against the glass. Now, he says that he was pretty much trying to scream for air and trying to breathe because he was holding my throat and that's when I got aggressive with him, because you are choking me. He also said he wasn't fighting the officer because his arms were in the air listening.

At the end of the day, it's nothing. You might have to fight officers back, you know why, because you feel like you're fighting for your life, right because you once they start putting you in choke holds and all kind of exactly start thinking about all of people who have been choked out. You won't fight back for your life. That's the vibal instant. It's reaction. And let's not forget

what happened to Taquisa Clemens when she was at waffle house. Also, remember you guys saw that video where they had her on the ground and then he was basically choking on her and her top was slipping off and she was trying to cover her self up, and he told her that he would break her arm. All these police officers

are asking too much of human beings. And the reason they're asking too much of human beings, it's gonna come a point in time when human being survival and things are gonna kick in and it's gonna be fight or flight, you know, Okay, when we start back, when they start fighting back, yelling nobody to blame but yourself, it's just not a fair fight because they have guns, they have backup officers. But I don't want anybody to get killed. You almost gott And I was thinking about this, and

I do this with my son. Now, I work out with my son. But we all have to make sure we are fit because the way the way that cop man handled that young man that shouldn't happened like that. He was choking the shout of him, and what happens to a young lady like you did to Jakissa Clements. You're right, we gotta start working out and getting out bodies right and being just as strong so you're not gonna be throwing us around like you're abusing your power.

It is only a matter of time before people start fighting back and clapping back, and you don't got nobody to blame. And by the way, there was a second police officer involved in this as well, so it's just a I But I do believe the waffle House needs to actually speak up because they haven't said anything. And this is happening at waffle houses and people really go

to waffle House all the time. Or the patty mill played at huddle House is way better than the one at Everybody want to boycott Starbucks, but you guys should be also boycotting waffle House. Right now, I'm trying to figure out when they're going to get an All Stars special becomes so dangerous. I've always liked her the house better, by the way, because I grew up in Monk's Corner, South Carolina. We got a hut of a a house, wifouse.

You always to go to the hout of house. But y'all, I don't need to be going to a a wiffle house at all. Right now, ain't no played way better? We ain't got wiffle house. A hut of house, yes, y'all do it is a hut of house in Jersey? Now? Yes? It is right off Exit thirteen in Jersey. Okay, I see the sign all but if you're outraged when you've seen either one of these videos, then you need to actually make sure that Wilfa house they need some training in their facilities. It's not hard not to go to

a Wilfer house, you know what I mean? You know what I'm saying. Unless you're out three o'clock, four o'clock in the morning, the people are well, stay your ass home, all right, the last front page news.

So I asked them, like, you know, can I go to my grove department because I don't know what they was going through. And they was like, you know why we pulled you over. I'm like nah. They was like, oh, because you made a turn. I'm like what, I'm like all right, cool? And then they gave me back my

Whenever the police get behind me, please get behind me. Down days I pull over on the side of the road, I'll pull over the stall. I don't want to even I don't want to interact with him. And you know what, in front page News I had a whole another story about a Kentucky police detective.

A woman went to go report a rate she was sexually assaulted, and you know what happened. That Kentucky police detective allegedly offered to drive her home and then he ended up raping her again. Oh my goodness, Wow, Wow, my goodness. Well a good lord, these young boys. Man, just be careful out here, man. I mean, that's the only thing my dad used to say. Just make sure you get home. Man. You can't do nothing when you're locked up a dad, just make sure you get home.

What you gotta make sure you live in you know what I mean? If they if you can't just choke somebody like that asking too much about Yeah, if you watch that video with a brother named Anthony, he got threw up against that window and the guy the cop put his on run his neck. Immediately, his instinct was to fight back. Was going to happen.

And the whole thing is that he wasn't even nothing violent was happening inside of a wiffle house. It's a disagreement of a customer service, right, That's not a reason for you to be slammed up choking. But I will say a young boy, don't expect customer service at Waffa. Come on, man, come expect customer service anywhere. You're not that Waffa. Yes, all I wanted them to do with wear gloves, but they don't even do that. Eight hundred five A five one oh five one is the breakfast club.

A boy, it has a police officer back in favor on North Carolina or whatever. You know what I'm saying. He didn't have a chance to fight for his life. You know what I'm saying.

Good morning, pot guy. What's up that? I'm good man? Hey, Charlot man, you ain't gonna talk with me today? What's up my guy? How you? Hey? Eavy? I'm good. Heavy.

I was listening in a while ago as a garbage truck driver, right, I was listening that you're on't show the respect to the garbage sever I just say the hold up, I said this morning, I was dipping in and out. I said, I respect you guys. That's why I apologized for dipping in and out. You're listening to

what I'm saying. Yeah, I am alright. Listen when you when you're going around the garbage shrup try to go nice and easy because sometimes the people that work on the bat sometimes they walking in front of the garbage truck, you know what I mean. I've seen incident where people are going so fast past the garbage truck that they almost hit one of the guys on the back, you

know what I mean. Yeah, and they're trying to get around, and they're not expecting a holes like dj Envy to be trying to drive aroun They blocked the streets sometimes they know people around and I had to get around. I had to get the work. It was either get the work late. Sometime we have to block off the street because you know, we're trying to get the garbage in a timely manner and sometimes people part their cart in front of the garbage that we can't even get it.

So we have to do the type of maneuver just to protect the guys that's on the back, you know what I mean. Yeah, I need to be safe, man, because I love you guys. Man, We love you back brother. Yeah, Peace and blessings. So if you don't do anything different now when you're driving around the garbage, you actually go to that. I was late, I was going to have to get the work. Hello, who's this? Amya, amya, good morning, to get it off your chest. I just don't like

I would imagine if it was his daughter being assaulted by that police, of which we have told your child not to go to the walf House. Yes, I would tell my child not to go to Wafferhouse. No more. What are you talking about? Ain't that the whole point? Are we boycotting Wafflehouse? No, we need to be so to be ignorant about it though if that was your child, seriously, what are you

talking about? What? How was like ignorant when I specifically saying, these cops are asking too much for us and when we start fighting back, it's gonna be an issue. You're saying, don't go to waffle House? Why not? He just took a sistem from from I bet she was home. Why not? What do you someone? You know this is not the first incident at waffle house, right, And I didn't say that little boy shouldn't go in to waffle house. I said, don't go to wiff house and expect good customer service.

Waffle House customer services trash, which is you had another reason not to go. Won't you expect the customer You go anywhere and expect the customer service because waffle houses, waffle House, they don't even wash their hands when they cooking your food. They don't wear gloves when they cooking your foods. What are you talking about this waffle House? When have you ever gone to woff house and got great customer service? Seriously all the time. No, you have it? Well,

Yes, all right, well, let's get to the rumors. Let's talk detail producer. This is the rule of report with angela Ye Breakfast Club. Now, these allegations are horrific. Detail. Who's a music producer. He actually co wrote and produced

Little Wayne's single how to Love. He also did Drunken Love for Beyonce with the Boys for with Khalifa, worked at a lot of different artists and he's now being accused of raping and abusing two female artists. One of them is a singer. Her name is Christina Buck and she says that he raped her back in February after a recording session in Miami and forced her to have

sex with him in front of other people. He got violent last week while they were at the Malibu Beach in and she says he forcibly grabbed her by the hair, hit and choked her, bit her lip during it, and she was left for bruises on her arms, head, back and legs. Then, a second artist named Peyton Acclee says that he made her and Christina his sex slaves and she considered him a mentor in the industry, but he

told her the business was all about sex. Now, according to these documents, he walked in on Peyton taken a bath and forced to have sex with him in front of another producer, and forced her to take nude photos while he masturbated, and also forced her to record him having sex with Christina. She also says that he got violent and slammed her head into a wall and dragged her up a flight of stairs. Now, according to TMZ, these women did request restraining orders and the judge did

grant them. Details of this detail case are crazy now. Bb rex up posted glad these women came out. It's scary. He tried to with me but I literally ran out of that studio. Karmen is a bitch. Singer Jesse Reyes talks about one night over sixty years ago where he tried that on her as well. Antie also says that the song that she has about a gatekeeper is actually about detail. Check it out. Oh I'm the gatekeeper. Spread your legs open up. You could be famous if you

She said, I didn't know what to say or who to tell here somewhere from her song, Oh I'm the gate keep bush, spread your you could be famous.

Don't you know what your places got? Cold on? My girl? Don't you want to taste? The best thing about the industry now is then there are no gates, by the way, and then on the side, no, Jesse is dope, She's dope. I never heard of this. I never heard it to this now, but just what I just heard, she sounds. And people always ask how has this been going on? For Solon? Because she was talking about an incident over six years ago, and like she said, she was scared.

And so it took for these two women coming forward, for other people to feel brave enough to come forward and tell their stories as well. Listen, I've never seen detail of day in my life, but when I saw him yesterday, I will say pictures I was looking at. He's got a rape his face, and you know he recently also had a lawsuit against Drake saying that his security beat him up. If you guys remember that. Yeah,

She's been in Bridesmaid, she's been on S and now she's done the Female when they relaunched The Female Ghosts Part two. Yeah, she's been a female when they relaunched. When they relaunched, they relaunched on your ass. You don't know what'll be coming out your mouth? Oh,

Everybody is DJ Envy Angela yee charl I mean the guy we all the breakfast clubby our special guests in the building. Yep. You might know her from Bride'smaids or Coachbusters or even on S n L. Melissa McCarthey, Hey, get to the money McCarthy. Yeah you okay, she's worth sixty million dollars your bird. Why are you one of

the top paid women in Hollywood? Okay, all right, if you can locate where that money is that you can just let me know with like a code or something. The Celebrity Network confused you online. You go look at you be like, where's that money? You say? I just like a call from my mom. She's like, oh my god, how is this possible. I'm like, it's not possible. That's a that's the thing. But you are one of the top paid women in Hollywood or it's it's kind of weird.

I mean, I don't I don't know who gets what, but I'm just shocked every time I get I actually get paid someone. Let's go to work. Okay. I figured at the end of the day, they're gonna be like, we figured it out. I'm always slightly waiting for somebody be like, wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute, we're onto you take ahead. I always the one that you know about the business though, because you know, in this world with a gender wage gap is so real,

how you been able to get your break? I don't know. I mean it's a weird. I mean I think it just always fight for like what the project is, and I've got you know, okay, could people fighting with me? And I think it is. Finally when I was like I will say no, I think that was the biggie, which is always terrified, especially for somebody who couldn't get

work for twenty years. It's like when you're finally like I'm gonna say no and walk away unless it seems right and fair, which is you know, then you go cry in your car when you get to that point, which fills seriously, let me know where that is? Um No, I mean I think pretty early on, I was like, you know, it's it's a funny thing. It's like you can't make a jump for I'm like almost nothing, And I was always like, oh wait, when did you finally make the jump that everybody you always hear about. I

finally was like, I'm just gonna wait it out. It wasn't crazy, but I just wanted it to be fair of like, well, what's everybody else on it? Making kind of even it out? So it worked it off. So what made you come to this show? This Rinky Dan show? You know? We were yeow what made you come? Yeah? Because nobody's listening you guys, keep it up some day someone my tune in now? Yeah, yeah, right right, you listen to the show. Yes, I listened to the show,

but like, star, does everybody else in the world? Come on? Did you do it? Okay? We're doing Okay, we're not yet, but we you know where it is. It was you're my only link to it? Are you start? Right? I did? Actually really yeah. I started doing stand up when I came to New York and like just clueless, um, which probably probably good because it's the only reason I got up on stage. And somebody's like, oh, do stand up tomorrow night, And I'm like, all right, that's it, Like

no prep, no no common sense about it. But I was twenty and I was like I didn't think about like, oh, what are you gonna write? What are you gonna say? I just kind of jumped up on stage, which now I'd be like, there's no way, I'd be too chicken. But uh, what was your worst show doing stand up? Since you didn't write anything? So so many it's also like when there's a heckler, I didn't I didn't want to do like a mean show. It just was not because that can't be funny, but just because it wasn't

my thing. I was telling like long, weird stories and and you know, especially when you're starting out you only have like four minutes, somebody that's like took your chop off. Always that was, but that guy in a different way. That guy was in every single club to the point where we're just like, oh, has that ever worked? Have you ever yelled at at a woman and they're like,

oh my god, I gotta get this thing off. Incredible. Yeah, But there is always like in every comedy which is why I stept doing standard, Like every comedy club always had somebody that was like just yelling crazy stuff. I'm like, let me take a guess. It's the guy in the corner alone on his like eighth drink. And then you have to but you take two minutes of your four minute time to like and he really was usually never going to shut up until you kind of eviscerated him.

And then once you get that mean with somebody, which I didn't want to do in the first place, then just switch back into like, hey, so anyway I'm walking to it, like I just said awful things about it, like his family while he's alone, you're never gonna find happiness. Hey. The craziest thing happened walking down, like did you make that switch back? People were like, she's got a mean street Like then You'm like, I didn't want to do that, so weird to a guy to do, because there's other

clubs for that. There's plenty of clubs you can go to see women taking especially I had like a wig on and like weird, like I looked. I looked kind of club kid ish. So it wasn't like I think it was just anybody who walked up there that they probably didn't think it was going to punch them. That they would they would probably yell that at it. But it was like a absolute consistent which I just was always like, I'm just like, come on, Melissa mccafee's here.

You might know how from Bribes, Med's Goldsbusters or s and now, now, how did you lose so much weight? You lois ast a lot. Well, it's also like over five years, it's not like three weeks ago. Why just did Why did you work at it? Why not just because well because I figured it would stick, because it's like I don't know, because I just wanted I wanted to change it without like you know, I don't know. I think everybody's always like kind of working on something.

And I was like, if I can distress and just do it slower and stop constantly trying to be on something, and then it and it actually worked better, like instead of being like I'm gonna not do this and do this and only drink this and do it like instead of the crazy plan because they started to think about it like that's like controlling your breathing all day, like fourteen hours in you go that crazy. So I was like, I'm just gonna like mellow out, give myself a break.

And after I had kids, I was just like I can't. I have to be realistic, like it's not gonna it's not gonna go fast, but I feel I mean, I feel great. So it's very rare in Hollywood to lose the weight naturally. Well, I just didn't want to. I don't know, I'm too chicken maybe maybe being chickens. I'm a very for know, I'm not a frightened moment, but I just thought, I thought there's gotta be a way. And if I wasn't rushing it, I said, you know, I was kind of like, what's the hurry? And a

little guyed and working out? Thank you? What's that old? And working out? Yeah? And like stop stop freaking out about stuff. Stop looking at the crazy things of like who were it better? Where it's like two amazing looking people. It's like all that stuff. We're supposed to be fighting each other and women are supposed to be in compared and stuff. I found it was just like I'm done

with it. I'm done with it. Like I think when you freak your freak your mind out and worry about stuff that's not like you're you're not gonna ever get healthier that way. And you said you met your husband was named Ben Falcolm. He's a director and writer. Y y'all done like three films together. The difficult balance and the personal and professional it's great, really, oh my god. That's how we met. We met at the Groundlings. So he was like, my he was my favorite person to

write with. Its super funny. Yeah he's not gonna puts a great guy. No, he's like super funny, super smart and just like weird and makes me laugh. And and we immediately like we became really good friends right away Groundlings, and we were always the ones like we should let's just write together because it was easy and fun. And then I was pretty sweet on him early and then that all worked out and it's just it's easy with him. It's like we get to go to work together. It's

like we're stupid all day. He's like even Stephen and so he's like a super mellow guy. So to have that as a director, and you know, they're really funny and like watching out for you, it's like it's it's like the dream. It's never too far. It's never babe, do this or never you have to do this. It's always fun. No problems now because it's like, oh what about this? And then he'll say what about that? It's

like oh what about green? What about yell? And then we're both like ah purple, Like it's a fun it's a super fun like collaborative. There's no ego. I also, you know, I think if you get into ego stuff, you're never gonna make anything funny anyway. Have you ever held up a scene because you want to hook up in the trailer? No? Is that sad? Listen, it's not too late. I'll be right back. We have more with

Melissa about coffee when we come back. Don't move. She has a new flick in theaters this weekend, Life of the Party. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Everybody is DJ and v Angela, Ye, Chalomagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We have Melissa McCarthy in the building. You might know how from Bride'smaids S andl Ghostbusters And now she has a new flick out this weekend. It's called Life for the Party. Melissa McCarthy's here is Chalomagne.

My Rootolf is one of your close friends too. You met her at the ground Links too. Yeah, wow, we started We started the Groundlinks together, Christian Wig. It's just kind of a crazy It was a crazy group when we were in that you know, student student shows together. Like it's like you don't get paid there, so you're there and you're working so hard, so it's like you've gotta love it. You gotta love it, or you wouldn't put up with it. But yeah, it was pretty It

was a pretty crazy group. And she is Maya to me is like I would say, one of the top five human creatures that are that funny I've ever met in my life and like sweet, like all that goodness, all that sweetness on top of that kind of funny is like mind blowing. Oh, I gotta put I gotta ask you who other four before you move on? Ma, Maya Tuck, I say, Christian Wig, not just because they're friends, but like truly like they're nuts. I think Bill Hayter, I don't know, Jamie Fox. Really it's me. Um oh,

I don't know. I hate. I hate to end the list. That's cool. You have people calling your phone later like, oh, you don't think I'm talking about thinking about that. I was like, you know what, I'm gonna get in trouble for this list, And am I is in your new movies that I gotta be fine to your friends. It's really like it was such a good it's such a

good group. Like set was just pretty stupid, like, which is a pretty good way to go to work when you're just like, if we stop laughing long enough to like shoot it, like, that's a pretty good that's a pretty good way to spend the day. And she is she plays my best friend in it, Maya, And uh, it was great because we're like, you know, anytime we can get to work together, like we're both busy and she's you know, we both have kids. It's like you

don't always see each other. So to be able to be at work and just hang out and kind of do the like make each other laugh like we did when we met, was it's kind of amazing. Yeah, we're talking to Melissa McCarthy. Of course, she has a new flick life with the party out this weekend. She's from Bridesmaids S and now Ghostbusters. Now, you just talked about how you used to do stand up. Do you think that some of those jokes that you did before, you know,

comedians could do now. I think it's it's definitely different. I think it's different, and I think it's it's definitely good that we're becoming more aware. I mean it's kind of like about time is on a lot of front on a lot of friends. I think it's how you do it. I think you still have to poke the bear. I think you still have to shine the light and hold a mirror up. And I think that's one of the great things that comedy and stand up can do. It's like it can it can poke at you if

you don't do it with venom. I think you can actually make fun of a situation and what's going on and do it in a way that might actually make someone realize something. If you just come at someone hard and make them feel stupid, then I think people are gonna and you're not gonna change anyone's mind. No one's gonna be like, huh, like maybe this is dumb. They're

just gonna get mad at you. You always felt like intention madness because even when you watch old comedy shows back in the day, and they might have been talking about like you know, like like edgy topics, Yeah it

was fun. And also they were they were the joke, like they were somehow even though they were talking about if they wanted to like talk about something, they put themselves in as the butt of the joke, which immediately makes you more able to kind of like take it in and like laugh at it and realize maybe this

is stupid. It's intention for sure, I think, but when somebody really is like if you're trying to make a point, like I don't think anybody really wants to be preached to a good time, And then you go on social media, people are just trying to get attention. So everybody's looking for that viral moment, even when they're like on stage at a show or something. They just want to say

something that they'll know go viral. And and why it's too like whoever can be the like the nastiest in the meaness That's what my brain just doesn't work that way. I'm always like you put like a quarter of that energy and of like if you want to be noticed, then like figured out figure out how. But just saying really incredibly mean, hateful things, and I was just like, what does that person walk around with all day? They

just like just like toxic. Yeah, they're miserable, and it's always like, you know, three thirty two in the morning and like Scratton, Pennsylvania and you're like someone's in like their parents. You know, that's not someone who's like I just had the most amazing day. I'm so happy. Let me just write this quick hate mail like no one's doing that thugging. That's what we call. That's yeah, And misery loves company and social media provides you company twenty

four seven, three sixty five. I thowt you tell people that you like you ignore your online trolls. I just don't read any of it. Like I've never tried to get better at figuring out like some social stuff because I'm just like, I don't want to. It's not going to improve me. I'm not gonna like, oh, so and so and you know, Indiana hopes I died to night. I'm like, you know what that's I'm gonna take that

note and try to imply it. It's like when it's so awful, I'm like, if I'm right with my kids and my family, and then I'm okay, Like I'll take any creative note or like positive not positive, it can't doesn't have to be positive. But like when it's just crazy, like ope, you and your family die in your sleep, it's like, okay, that did not that did not help my situation. Well, after this interview, you can have a bunch people with tweeting, you say, and take your top

of somebody yells yells at at me. Today, I'll be like, thank you, thank you so much. I'll consider its Yeah, and it was an all male franchise before, clearly was all female when y'all did it. Did you learn anything new about a sexism in Hollywood when y'all did that? Well, just that people need hobbies, people need to fill their time with other stuff. Because literally saying like you ruined my life, it's like through oh my god, like so many people, this was before we started filming, just the

concept of women doing that thing. There were so many like things online that was like, you're ruining my life, You're ruining my childhood. I was like, if that's going to ruin your childhood, I'm gonna guess it was pretty bad to start with. I don't I don't think we did it like a sexist and misogynistic. Do you have to be to think women can't kill ghosts something that we're not even sure it exists? I never really just thought about like it's all fake, Like yeah, well I don't.

I can't say the people saying that are people that I'm like, they seem to be really smart. I bet they're really really fought this through. Melissa mccarfee still in the building, you know how from Bridesmay's ghostbust Is just to name a few. Continue Chlamie. Do you believe in ghosts? Hey? I do from a small funtime. I'm from the country to South Carolina. So you have a saw one growing up?

I think I said, my great grandmother lived with us, and when she passed away, like I know that I saw her and my mom came upstairs and I was like, grandma was and she was like what. I was like, Grandma was in my room and She's like, you were in there talking to somebody, So how are you? Like seven? Really? Yeah? But it didn't scare him. It didn't scare me or anything. It wasn't uh yeah, I just think, who knows where we go? Where? You like, I believe in all that?

What does she tell You're gonna be worse? Sixty say? She's like you you are going to be worth now do you remember? I know, I don't remember any talking. I just know that she was in she was in my room and that that's all. And I just remember it didn't feel scary. It didn't. And then my other grandmother passed away and I was I was driving and you know, I was upset. Because she'd like I was living out here at the time and just found out,

like she's just passed away. And I was trying to like literally drive somewhere where I could pull over because I was crying in the car. And I reached over, and you know, you just really reached Its like your glove compartment, and I opened it and out flipped a picture of my grandma. Wow, that I guess he had been in there. I drove it out from Illinois this car.

I had not opened my glove compartment, nor I have no idea why I had a picture of my grandma and it literally flipped up and ended up on the passenger seat to face up like, and I had not opened it. I'd had the car for like three years, so it wasn't like, oh, I just put it in there because I was thinking, like it came out of nowhere, and I just then when I finally pulled over, I

was like, oh, everything's fine, all right. We have more with Melissa McCarthy when we come back, you know her from Bridesmaids S and L keep it loft as the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning, everybody is DJ Envy angela Ye, Charlemagne, the guy we all the Breakfast Club now from Life of the Party, which is in theaters this weekend. Melissa McCarthy's in the building, Charlemagne. You, you and Tiffany Hatris will be starting in a movie together. I just met her.

I just met her. Yeah, it's u. She's a force of nature, like she's a force of good, Like she's sweet and it's fun like crazy funny. So yeah, you just kind of like I was just in from like the second I met her. I'm like, yep, this seems this seems like I'm just gonna be like, keep going. She's great. We start there tomorrow. Really, wow, why are you not somewhere sleeping? I'll just take that up. You guys, don't mind if I just not offer a minute. It's not a comedy y'all doing right now, No, not at

all drama. It's a Hell's Kitchen nineteen seventies and uh, we kind of take over. We take over the Irish mom. You know, nobody's gonna be expecting that you and Tiffany Hatters in a movie. They're expecting it to be comedy and y'all doing a drama. I know, I wish I kind of love. Yeah, I think it's like a great it's such a good script, and Elizabeth Moss is doing it too. It's just it's a really it's a really

cool story. But yeah, it's not funny. What advice would you give tip, because y'all kind of blew up in a similar way you would bribe me her girls trip and now you're now you're worth sixty million dollars? So what if? What if we call him a bird because all he talking about advice where I give her not a word? Really, she doesn't need, she does not need.

She is clear and on a on her path. She knows, like you just feel it in her and you when she talks about stuff we had we went out to dinner and she just had you just know she she sees what she wants how to get it. And I mean that in a really like good way of like a work this way. And she's also like right in

her element. I always think it's really exciting when you find when you meet somebody who's doing something that you're like, this is like what if you weren't doing this, Like you're so built to do it, and you found it and you figured out how to do it better than almost everybody else like that. I'm always like I get like goosebump, like you found your you found it, and like hit it hard. I always think that's really it doesn't matter what it is. Could be cooking, could be painting,

could be music. But when you see someone drop into that, you're just like, I don't know, it's it's uh, it's pretty exciting. But we feel like who paid for dinner? Yeah, both went out for dinner. Oh listen, we let to direct your play. We just both walked out there. You just dropped it. We dropped their forums and just walked out. That took me rad group on on on you. I got to root it. I don't pay for dinner. If I'm with somebody that got more money than me, I

think that's consulting. Do you do you say like bake, I'd be like, oh I got it. You go out, yeah, I think you get to the wallet, Yeah I got I got it to be like no, no on me. Then they pull out the black card and be like if we ever go to dinner, I'm just gonna wait it out and be like, oh wait, you can get that back pocket. I know you can do. Do you feel like women of color women in general and women but specifically when the color get overlooked in common for sure.

I think I think for so long, women in general were always kind of like like the parts in the in the actual characters were given to men, and then the woman was just kind of there to be like oh Jack, like that's it, oh Jack, oh Tom, oh Phil. I mean it's like there's I always want to put together a mom's house. How many actresses had you just stay on there and go and always kind of a bummer, so they have like a fun husband to the wife's always like ah, I was like, why is every woman

a bummer? And then certainly like women, I call it like there's there's such a avoid again it goes back to that like I want I want to see the real world. It's like it's funnier, it's certainly more interesting. It's like when you clean it all up and you know, it's like every woman's like done perfectly, and it's like I like a hot mess. Like better to see a

story about somebody real. We're like you can kind of relate to them, either you're glad you're not them, or you know somebody liked them as opposed to like when it's always like the perfect woman and the perfect outfit, and I'm like, I don't really know any of those women, right, I'm sure they're out there, like they're not my Like, I don't relate to that. So but really, why you

look so successful because people didn't relate. It's been tricky because sometimes it's when we did Tammy and I was like this, this is a woman who's like it was our first movie together with Ben and you know she was she was a mess. But I was like, well, the characters. The whole point is she's a mess and she doesn't have a lot of like she doesn't think she's kind of worth a lot of stuff. But people were so interesting. There were so many reviewers that were

like so crude or grotetque. Like one guy kept saying, like your grotesque characters and I was like, tesk, it's like, what what's grotetque? And he's like, so crude. They kept talking about crude, crude, crude, and I was like, can I just ask like what you're saying it is if I'm agreeing with you, and I keep saying I'm not agreeing with that, it's where's the crudeness coming? He goes, well, just you know, in general, and I was like, no, You've got to tell me what do you mean by

crude and grotesque as well? How you looked yike? And I was like, would you say that to a guy playing a character from somebody who's like a total mass if he had like, you know, like if he just looked kind of terrible because his life was falling apart? Like would you ever ask a guy that He goes, no, it's just that, you know, you didn't even have makeup on. And I was like, there we go wow. But I was like, but you use a crude and grotesque about that.

So I just but that kind of like fueled me to be like I can't listen to any of that stuff, Like you may hate the story or like the story. I love my characters because there they are flawed and they never want to I never want to stop doing it because I think those are real women. What about that critic? Did you write his name down and slip it to the Times up? People like it? You know? But I do, like, I'm like, well was his name? No? But I did call him out on it. This was

in front of like forty people. He kept saying that. I finally was like, you need to explain yourself if you're gonna if you're gonna rip me apart, like explain what you mean. And then by the time he said, well, you weren't even wearing makeup, I was like, and I'm done with you. So that's about life. When a party comes out May eleven, May eleven, bring your mom's, bring your kids. Yeah, I think you may want to make some calls a flower shop today. Um No, it's I

love this movie. It was and I was surrounded. It's about I played Diana Miles who's dropping her daughter off at college. Kind of emptiness. They're gonna go on second honeymoon. It's like mom wife, like really happy life and that I was not supposed to rhyme um. And then literally the second my daughter's out of the car, my husband

uh says like I don't of you. I want to divorce wow, and just kind of rattles everything that I know, like we had our retirements that like all this stuff we were supposed to do, and it's just like, nope, it's all the rugs pulled out. So after kind of a mild a pretty good freak out, I kind of realized like, well I was, I was a mom, I was a wife, but like where did I go? Like what was left for me? And one of the things she really regretted was never finishing school. It's a little

like me, so uh. And it's kind of based on my mom just in terms of she's really positive and decides to go back to school, but she goes back to college where her daughter's attending. So her daughter's a little like, glad you're getting it together, but maybe not here. I know, you gotta go. Why do you feel like you want to go back to college? What do you feel like you missed? And now I would just love

to take like random classes. I wouldn't go back, but the thought of like which I couldn't appreciate at eighteen, like sitting through like a history class, or sitting through anything like an art whatever the classes, I'd be like, this is great, Like I would love to do like random classes. Now at eighteen, I was just like trying to get out because trying to get out. Yeah, I feel like everybody in life should go through the whole face, and most of the time college is like that whole face.

Will you just do whatever you want to do section. Oh there's that. I think I've been shooting that. I just wasn't. I just part of the I just wasn't attending classes. I was, I had agreed to get me wrong. I had a lot of fun at college. I just uh, I didn't learn anything. But oh later later I learned. I feel like Groundlings was my college. So but thank you, thank you for giving the name my whole face. We appreciate you for joining us, thank you for coming. Thank you. Yes,

like the Portent Theater this weekend. That's right, Melissa McCarthy, your mom and my present. Will you give me alone? You're worth explained. It's the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club. It's about this report to angela ye fund to break his club. So people, of course do not want R. Kelly to perform in venues right now, and in North Carolina where he's supposed to be performing today in Greensboro.

They're saying that if the show isn't canceled, then they are going to be protesting, standing outside of the arena and protests. So no reason, no word on whether or not they are going to cancel that show, but they said that they're going to keep it going. So we'll see what happens. But in the meantime, Spotify has removed

R kelly music from their playlists, all of it. No, so you can still find his music on Spotify, but he's not on any of the curated playlists that they have, So I think that's kind of hypocritical Spotify though, well, we're going to talk about that in a second. We'll tell both sides of the story. Now. They have a

new public hate content and Hateful conduct policy. A lot of music that they're putting into effects, so there's flagship playlists like Rap caveat, Discovery Weekly or New Music Friday, so there's all these different genres or mood based playlists. So they're just not active promoting him, but his music is still on Spotify. They're doing the same thing with xxx Tantasion as well. I don't like selective morality though.

If you're gonna, you know, express moral outrage, you gotta have it all across the board, because there's plenty of people who have, you know, charges against women, and what about the music that actually degrades women. You're gonna take that down to now. R Kelly has his management team responded. We appreciate Spotify for continuing to make R. Kelly songs accessible to millions of people, although it will stop listing

his songs on its official playlist. They said, mister Kelly for thirty years has sung songs about love and passion for women. He's innocent of the false and hurtful accusations and the ongoing smear campaign against him waged by enemies seeking a payoff. He never has been convicted of a crime, nor does he have any pending criminal charges against him. Bro, we saw the tape. But you know what, though, and I think R. Kelly's a piece of fecies for all

the things that he's doing. But it's that right because he was found innocent, he said. Meanwhile, though Spotify promotes numerous other artists who are convicted fellas others who have been arrested on charges of domestic violence, and artists who say lyrics that are violent and anti women in nature. That's why I say selective morality is a slippery, slippery slow.

It is like you can't, you know, point to blame at two people when it's people other people music that got worse charges, right, you know what I mean, that have been actually found guilty of things right now. Fifty Sam posted Spotify is wrong for what they're doing. The artists like R. Kelly and xxx Tantasion, they're not even convicted of anything. And once again, what about the music that degrades women? What about that? Right? You're not gonna

take that down. It's pretty hypocritical if you ask me. In the meantime, though some people still love R. Kelly. This woman wanted to announce to her husband that she is pregnant, and here's how she did it. Guys, I've been waiting to sing the song to you for so long, Heaven A baby, a little boy, a little girl, a little you, little me, a girl. It doesn't matter as long as it's healthy. No, you know, he's all kid

a little bit, but it's always thank you. That white woman has no idea what all Kelly has done the little black now. She has no clue. She think, why did this go so viral? She has no clue what all Kelly has done the little black girl? Zoo. All right, well I Mandela yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, miss ye Charlemain. Yes, we're giving that down CONTU four after the hour, let's talk about it. We'll just just just be here for after that I

have a conversation. Let's just have a conversation for after the hour. We'll be here, all right, and to join us next hour. Yeah, all right, so don't move. It's to breakfast club the morning. Don't be at the gate you get drunk, you are, I'm gonna fatten all that around your They want this man's two doten blowers. Man, they're waiting for Charlemagne to top these gloves. Let's go to make a judgment. Was going to be on the Donkey of the day. They chose you the practice club. Bitch.

Who's donkey of the day today? Donkey today for Friday May eleventh is nobody. But we have a young woman in here who has received Donkey of Today a couple of times, and she would like to talk about it a little bit, amongst other things. Okay, missus, Zelia Banks Banks Hell, nothing much. It must be a special occasion if you've come out of hiding to show your face and talk. I'm never hiding. I'm never hiding. I guess I just wanted to wait until I had some new music.

Got you. You've never been here before, actually never, Charlotte Mane and I have actually known each other via text for three years. Yes, actually never met each other. You know, I was the first time you guys actually met face to face. W Yeah, because you know I've I've had I've had my opinion about it, Dallia Banks over the years, and she's had an opinion about me, my opinion. I actually do. I dig a lot. I think a Zelia

is a very misunderstood individual. And I realized that when I started actually having conversations with her, and I say, you know what, I apologize for giving you donkey to day because she told me about a lot of the things that why did you give a donkey to day? Don't remember he gave me donkey of the day, if I remember correctly. For defending myself to TI. I remember during that whole deco and t I said something about me and then I said something back, and then you

called me donkey o the day. Yeah, he said something about his wife. I think it was no that was that was way after it. Oh well, I don't remember, but whatever was. I apologize for it, and I apologize again, Miss Spinks. Give thank you. Charlomagne. Did you give you donkey twice? Charlomagne's always giving me donkey. I always the movie thing. Remember no, I wasn't the movie No, no, that she was definitely not the donkey in that situation. Okay, yeah, and she called me a jiggaboo in a coon. I

apologize for calling you a jiggabow. It's all good. So you're from Hallom, yes, but I don't think a lot of people, I don't want to say respect, but they don't support you, like an artist from Hallow. Why why do you think that is? Who's a lot of people, A lot of New Yorkers I would say, I would say that they don't support you like I think that

they should. Do you agree or though I don't agree that they should support me just because I'm from Harlem and you know, I wouldn't say that people don't respect me. I think that respects a bad word. I think of support, I would say it's bad. Even still, I still think that there are a lot of people who actually do support a Zelia Banks. A very long time, we've been really focused on this, you know, narrative of Azelia Banks,

this like music industry villain type of thing. But um, aside from that, I actually do live a normal life. I have friends and pets and fans, and streams on Spotify and plays on YouTube. You know you think you think some of the narrative, of course, you know some of the native you created yourself, of course? Yeah? Yeah. Do you feel like the music industry bad girl or hip hop industry bagirl? No? I feel like I don't know. I don't know how to say it without sounding really ignorant,

but just say it, speak freely. I just feel like that dorky black girl who everyone thinks is kind of weird. Do you think you feed into the negativity instead of focusing on your craft more? Sure? Don't we all? This is what gets me about his day. She knows what she's doing, but she won't stop doing it. I think she's to stop doing. What have I? What have I really done? Well? Like, what if I actually really done?

You would make a great And I told you before you'd make a great Like personality, you're not afraid to express your opinion. How about I'm a great musician. You definitely are, But being a musician in the music industry and then critiquing other people the way that you do makes other people not want to deal with you. Well, whose problem is that I think that when I offer my opinion or offer my critique or anything like that, it's always in a way for me to digest what

I'm seeing. You get what I mean? How do you like? Do you like Nicki Minaj and home music? Yeah? Y'all y'all in a good space now, Yeah, y'all remind me of each other. We went to we went to leguari to leguari each other, which which is not just the way that you speak, in the way that you talk, is it's everything about you that whole all right, LaGuardia actress drama. That's what you do. Y'all remind me of each other. Nice? Thank you. Have y'all spoken outside of

social media? Now, sorry, she mentioned you in the interview. I know that was that was that was really good. Thank you, Nikki. You feel like that put you in a good place. Finally, you gotta somebody wasn't afraid to say of the banks is the dope? Are you kidding? People say I'm dope all the time. This is what this is what I'm talking about. This people music industry, people say I'm dope all the time. It seems like you're always getting Kanye West called me the future of music.

Nas is like what did not say? He was like, oh yeah, she's got the full package. Solange bikes me up all the time. People like and love and respect of Celia Banks. I don't know why you keep trying to tell people that they don't. So you think it's just that like when you it's you Charlotte Mage and goddamn. But you know, like they pay more attention to things that you say one music. No, they pay more attention

to the things you say you give it. I mean, yeah, you you've okay, so you've got say you've got a million listeners every morning, right, and say I've got ten thousand followers on Twitter. If I say something to those ten thousand people, it kind of goes away. But when you guys latch onto it, the media latch onto it, and you guys blow it up, then it becomes a thing. Yeah that's what s that's my fault. Yes, no, absolutely not.

It's not my fault because I'll hit you and be like, now you didn't have to say that, so what I said it? So what I said it? Who cares? That's my point? Why do people care? But it's the gift in the cress, right, Like you can't pick and choose what people gravitate towards. You put people who can people

can choose. You know a lot of people I see people really stress themselves out in the comment sections over things that I say, and it's just like, yeah, I don't think I could ever imagine being that, you know, pressed, well, not pressed because pressure. I don't know. I'm a very anxious girl, so I'm always in some state of pressedness.

But you have anxiety, of course. I think. I think because of that, and you're not gonna like this, but I think because of that, people don't get it actually a chance to meet and understand exact How many times has you been telling me you're gonna set up my podcast and you're never true. I'd be like, let's do it, and I'd be like, hello, hello, Hello. Don't really feel like people misunderstand you, but they will never understand you because they look at the negative things or whatever you say.

They're so attached to what you say and not necessarily the things that you do, whether it's the music, whether it's the acting fashion. I don't know why a lot of my opinions are terrible. You know, like, you really should not subscribe to the I'm saying what people do? You know why they're so attached to some of the people that you talk about. Problem. But that's why it's even more iller, because you are an artist. So when

people no, no, no, don't subscribe to a Zelia Banks's opinions. Okay, that's it, But they do, you know, when when you talk about some of their favorite artists, that's what they you know, that's what they see. They don't hear the music, they don't see the fashion, they don't see the acting. They see Zelia Banks just said this, and that's what

they attached to. And then all of a sudden, you know, people don't understand that you can have an opinion, so they pick sides, and all of a sudden, your side is. Everything you're explaining to me is like people's problems that not a Zelia Banks's problem. I can't control with people. I can only be myself. How did you like your shout out on Atlanta? Oh? I like that when they when they like look like the Zelia Bank's been in his I take it. That was nice. Donald. You still

do that with the chickens. I don't know if you put something, Mommy, just now, what was that? What was that look you gave me? Just now? You still you can You're not allowed to talk about it. I'm sure I can talk about it. So do you still do it? Jesus Christ. I don't look at me like that. I don't know if you're putting something on me? Now? All right? You got skincare products too, right? Yes I do? What

is the skincare product? But you know she'll hit me and be like, um uh, I can tell you bleaching. I was not a bleaching girl, A five rubber natty cream. Do you think he's bleaching? Charoagne's bleaching. I've never bleached. Both of usn't been accused of skin bleaching, though we're we're bleaching bleaching siblings, Yes we are. That's That's how Charlomagne and I bonded. We were sharing skin skin bleach recipes. Was hitting me with all kind of stuff, telling me

you all kind of chemicals. I'm like, I don't know what this is. Oh, shut the fuck up. Come on. Charlomagne's got not nor Lie immediate Claire volume party, Charlomagne's mixing Charlomagne. Charlemagne got a top under the bed. All right, we got more with the zell your Banks. When we come back, donpe move. It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning, Breakfast Club the morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. We have

Azelia Banks in the building. Now, did you really call Cardi b and a literate, untalented rat? I did? Why? I just think that, you know, and this is gonna sound really deep when I look at black women's culture as like a whole thing, right, and then you think about the media and the power that the media has, Like how the media have the power to get rid of me. The media has the power to make anyone

like the Forefront. You know this this this is what we're trying to like grab black women's consciousness with right now.

You know, I think that it's very concerning to me that this conversation surrounding black women's culture like changes from I don't know, because I feel like maybe two years ago, the conversation surrounding black women's culture was really reaching an all time high, and we were really like discussing, you know, our power amongst ourselves, and you know, Beyonce came out with Lemonade, and like there was just this really really

really intelligent conversation going on nationally and then everything just kind of changed. And then it was like you, I mean, you don't think it grew dough, What do you mean grew like it grew? I think I think people took what Beyonce was doing and it grew like in all aspects, because I mean for every cardy B you got a Scissor and you got Esa Rain and you gotta it was Duvenay and you got Tiffany had it her music and what she raps about No no, no, no, no, no no no she did, oh not at all. I'm

just talking about like this caricature, you get it. I mean, this charcature of a black woman that black women themselves would never be able to get away with. You know, like if my spelling and grammar was that bad, I'd be canceled. If Nicki Mina spelled like that, just be ragging on her all day. You know, I've been spelling wrong his whole career, and we like that, right, But we're talking about women, you know, so we've we've already

established that there's a double standard there. I think that when it comes to this black women's culture thing. I just don't understand how we go from Yance and Lemonade and Solange and all of these like great conversations Black lives matter, all these conversations to like this black women on monolithic though either or I know we're not monolithic, but come on, and you used to like Cardi b. I used to. They had a video of you in the club going crazy to what made you not like her?

You know, because I have three daughters. Of course, I don't want my daughter to be a strip. She's a businesswoman now that's employing people. Why she looking like that? Because that's because it's just like I don't know, I feel like you guys just use everything to like make this like bigger than what it is. Yeah, I feel like it's like a little like you call somebody a literate, untalented rat. That's I let the record, Shore, I wasn't even gonna bring it up. By the way, I know

you weren't gonna bring it up. I'm asking, I don't don't, I don't know. I really want to know because I'm trying to learn more about you because I've never spoke to you, and this first time I met you, so yeah, saying I want to get to the DAU. I just I just don't understand the like extreme lack of cous You know, I've never seen that at the forefront of female rap. I didn't know that the standards that that

the bar would be lowered so much. So it's kind of it was kind of like a culture shock, Like the bar went from Beyonce Lemonade, this very very extremely intelligent conversation to like, but we see that old genres of music, we see that rape. But okay, and that's great, that's great, that's great. But when you're talking about this female rap thing like bitches that really pushed their pen, I just I just feel like it's unfair to like the real institution of female rap. We're talking about this.

We're way too long, honestly, I think you. I think you give card Be enough free promotion. Let's talk about Anna Winter. But I love Rhapsody and I love I think CARDIV would love Anna Winter. I think it would make her feel really good. And she listened to Anna Winter, maybe she should put the headphones on her belly and let the baby here Anna Winter. We all, well, let's take it out of Cardi, But do you feel like wait for male music as well? I don't care. I

really don't care about male music. Then you used to be in the studio or Kanye back in the day, back in the day day. Yeah, you used to write you help him? Right? Uh? I didn't say all that, oh, which I'll just used to work together. We were just talking. Those conversations very scattered. Do you understand what he's going through now? Ums, you had your your love for Trump moment. Listen, I wanted to tax break, Okay, Like everybody keeps trying to pin this like love for Trump on me that

that wasn't the point. I feel like, you know, this was before he was president, by the way, Yeah, I feel like the system is the same on both sides. You know, no matter who you're voting for, the American dream is it rests on a systematically oppressed underclass, be it black people, Latino people, people in jail, people in China. Building for us for cheap, you know, like that's just

the name of the game. So either way you go, somebody's getting you know, wouldn't you want to get a couple extra like thirty thousand dollars back on your tax return, like you're getting either way. Now, let's put this in context. She was saying this before he was president. When he became president, she changed her tomb Yeah, because it's like, all right, Trump, you're just cheapening the presidency. Now you're just you know what I mean, Like, now you're just

being sloppy. Okay, Because I'm also an American, Like I grew up watching South Park. I love the bullshit, like calling Kim Jong unfat and short. I think he's like the adult human like Eric Cartman, Like he reminds me so much of Eric Cartman. A big part of the reason why I didn't want to vote for Hillary Clinton is because I felt like her movement was just shrouded

in so much like white feminism. It just seems like we're just gonna get this woman to the presidency and like completely ignore the fact that her and her husband are the reason that so many black families are divided. Now, like in the nineteen ninety four crime Bill, you get what I mean. That's why it's you know, people going to jail for like a bag of weed and dumb

like that. We're like, we're forgetting that this woman called us super predators you know, she's blatantly like trying to pedal to us and talk about she's got hot sauce in her bag and all types of like that. She's like literally talking to us like we're idiots. You know. I always say that I like my racist racist, you know, I don't like any of that covert like and yeah, I felt I just and I feel this way about

feminism too. I feel like the conversation or the feminist conversation is always very white, female centric, and I just felt like if Hillary Clinton won, that was just gonna be like a win for white women and just like more losses for black women because that was just going to give them even more of an excuse not to deal with like the intersectionality and all of the different all of the other women that fall under that feminist banner or like you know, should be included in there.

So how do women of color become, I guess, all inclusive in that movement? Our duty really want to do? We want to be you know, I mean, like we've seen it with the suffrage. Suffrage movement, black women helped white women get the right to vote, and then they just kind of left us, you know, left us to fend for ourselves. We were the last American citizens to

get the right to vote. So yeah, I guess. I guess it's a bit about, you know, realizing that history can and will repeat itself and the fact that Donald Trump was a seemingly a political outsider. I was willing to take the chance. You know, a lot of people were, but you're one of the people that could say I made a mistake voting, but she didn't vote, didn't vote him? Did you vote? Don't look at me like that. You like your racist racist right? Yeah, I like my racist

racist What happened until Aviv? Because you said that you'll never go back because I can't. I can't go back to Tel Aviv? No, oh no, I'm not banned for the country. Just everywhere I went there was just looks, looks, looks, looks, looks. Went into a restaurant, people would be like like, I'd come in and they'd be like, oh, hold on a second, showing on their face that they needed to go like get their mind together before they served black people. There

was only like we only ate in one restaurant. Every other restaurant we went to, the people were just kind of like h Then in the airport. It was just like, you know, the people like working for the airline were just clearly giving me and my security guard a hard time. I was seeing a lot of people with UK passport, white people with the UK passports just passing through, passing through, passing through, and just the vibe I got was very

like unwelcoming. It kind of just gets to the point where you're just like, damn, I'm an here here too, rather just go home and Vietna or at home. All right, we got more with the Zelia Banks. Will we come back. Let's get on her joint right now. It's called Anna Winter, and then let us know what you think about it. It's a matter of fact. Tweet her if you don't. If you like it, Twitter if you don't like it, tweeter that too. All right, all right, it's the Breakfast Club.

Good morning, prebody is DJ Envy Angela yee, Charlemagne. The guy we are the breakfast club is Zalla Banks is in the building. Charlemagne. Let me ask you about Riza. He was here and he admitted that Russell Crowe did spit in your direction. You said he's spit on you. Um, do you forgive Risen. Now are you still? Rizzle can call me when he's got some money from me? Ye

had y'all? Y'all did a movie together came out early this year, Love Beats, Love Beats Rhymes, and you didn't even want to promote it, I mean, because it was it was embarrassing, you know, all of the all of the things that happened around the movie was really humiliating. What director is gonna throw the star of his movie under the bus like you an idiot? Like we we like Zza and I were the only ones who suffered,

you know what I mean? Russell Crowe was the one who choked me, spat me little bit, lands on me like you choke me out, throw me outside the room. And he gets and walk off scott free. And here's me and Rizza arguing out loud, you knowing up both of our reputations for this that he did. If Rizza was smart, he should have just shut the fuck up. Who's gonna want to see a movie in which the director has slandered lead actress like Russell Crowe's already established.

You and I are trying to make our play. Why are you defending him? Why did you press charges against Russell Crowe because they bought the tapes, and to be honest, I didn't have the money at the time. Everybody that was there that night, if you if you watch the t the TMZ testimonies, they're all conflicting stories. Everybody was

down to lie on Russell's behalf. I was just about to start recording the soundtrack for the movie, you know, and then think think about that, you know, like, God, damn it, Rizza, you were like directing a film with Jill Scott, Common, Azelia Banks and Rizza and you can't manage to forge a soundtrack. Jesus do you think that? Uh? If that would have happened maybe a year later, during the whole Time's Up Me Too movement, people would have heard your voice a little louder. Who gives I'm not

like China. He's like, seriously, like, I really don't give a about these two clowns. My My biggest thing is like you guys, my moment up. That was my movie and you sit up Z. Have you reached out to you at all? No? And he better not Russell Crowe. I mean you never know. Now, how does that affect with any other movies that you try to do is

that reputation alleged reputation of what happened. Of course it will. Yeah, that was really stupid, Like you the both of us out of a lot of money, peck me weird Russell Crowe's fault, yes, and now now and I for him that was wrong, that's what. And now now you and I Ris are out of a lot of money because nobody went to see the movie. The movie flopped, We didn't have a soundtrack. All of the things that we

were supposed to get done we didn't get done. But every time, you know, every every time you're like calling me to go to the studio, I show up to the student on your coped out zzle like he's really a dummy. Don't believe any of that in gong banging and nun chucked throwing he'd be talking about that is

a clown man. Seriously, the read oneself help book and like goes like this, you know what, and he thinks he's some you don't want to alleged y alleged, but kim So after the thing happened, he put that whole letter on Facebook and then he was just like oh yeah, Azelia Banks and her psychiatric health, like rizzle was giving me money to go to the psychiatrist, you know what I mean. And he like put that out there as

if that was something used against me. There's nothing wrong with therapy, but why like, why why would you like say that? Crazy? But why why when't we have a movie to sell? What are you doing? It's making sure his friendship with Russell Crowe was better. Then listen, let me tell you something. You as Russell crow is never gonna do another movie with you. Okay, everyone saw the man with an iron fist. That was trash. You're not talent. You're not a talented director. You know, he should probably

stop wasting people's time and money. I don't know why people don't like it. I don't know. I don't know. In April, Boy, he posted a message on isay seeing that you was drugged and raped, which was concerning Yes, I got gh bead that some white boys. I got ghbad at a bar by yourself. I was staying in a hotel because I was doing some press and I was just drinking and some guy came over and just

started buying me drinks. Why of course, and he just buying me drinks and I guess in between then and there he like dropped something into my drink, get upstairs to the room and drinking some more, with drinking some more, and Okay, this is really graphic. I'm just gonna say it. So I keep trying to kick this guy out of my room, but he keeps sticking his tongue in my ass. Your pants were I was like dancing around my room naked,

but I was like planning to kick him out. Every time I tried to kick him out, he just went starting ass and one thing led to another, and then I just started getting heavy, like my body just started getting heavy. And then I realized something was wrong and I just started screaming and I kind of like stumbled and kicked him out, and then I collapsed on the bed and cried. Like once I realized that I was like on drugs that I didn't know I was on. The next day, like my whole throat was like burning.

I had pins and needles. I could barely swallow. So you got him out, he didn't penetrate. It was so this is this is the thing, Like whatever whatever drugs he put in my drink made myself dry, Like my was just dry. So it was just like a sloppy, dry hump, and you probably would have got with him if he hadn't a drugs an. I don't know. I really don't know he was. That's weird, I know, right, It's like you're gonna just say you're gonna saved your drugs you cause just ate ass. I might have just

what's wrong with you? Yo? What's up? Man? Why you got to say things like that? Listen? Now you talking about Kanye? Uh not? Kanye really was paying for your psychiatric therapy. I go to therapy every week. Yeah, you enjoy therapy. I love it. Azelia is one of the people who I talked about therapy with early on. This is therapeutic for her, right now, it's therapeutic for me. This is this is this is great. You told me that I probably needed CBT Kanye to behavior therapy, and

he was right. Yeah. But you you've changed a lot. I'm really proud of you. You used to be really rude, and if I'm gonna be honest with you, the reason I like started a problem with you is because of when you made a little mama cry like I feel like I feel like every black girl in the world like hated you in that moment like you just kept going in on her, like she was telling you that her mom had just passed. You kept going in and then then you were calling her ugly, like little Mama's

gorgeous ugly. You were like you look like a forty year old man. You did piece of years ago. But it was horrible and as as as like as like a young girl who listened to Little Mama. I was really against you. And you know what I told us when she checked, when she tried to check on that, I said, I know you ain't talking about getting that people. I think y'all see, he sells in each other like I really do. Like y'all, y'all are almost like the

same pa, the same tribe. It might be, but you know, me and Little Mama was actually supposed to crack jokes on each other. That was the thing. Yeah, but you made her cry, so you lost. I didn't make her now you lost? Did? You did make her cry? It was disgusting though it was an ugly moment. I hate that anyway. Anna win tour? Oh no, you gonna drop the EP or album? I'm dropping an album in July. It is the second installment of the first Fantasy project,

and it's called Fantasy to the second Wave. So I'm going back in my like home Mermaid vibes and doing the sea punk thing. And I was gonna ask that. So for somebody who hasn't heard your music, knows your name, but hasn't heard your music, how would you describe your music? I got something for everybody. I have straight like you know, pure R and B tracks. I have pure hip hop tracks. I have some tracks that are a bit more tropical than I have, like you know, the housey stuff. I

have trans music. Trans music is kind of like a it's like techno electro kinda like I said, I should be high when I listened to that, Like, dude, see you he goes to trans cloud. I don't. Didn't you get taken advantage of too by like an early manager? Yeah, but like your boyfriends. Yeah, I was a crazy little girl. I was a crazy lott. He was even worse because

he was a grown as man. I know, I was like seventeen dating some like fifty year old white guys, and he like the manager of like disgusting direction of something cold Play. Cold Play. Now now that I look back on it, I'm just like, it's like disgusting, like I can like taste his like old like wrinkly nack. Yeah, but putting his hands on you and stuff that, yeah that like he was yeah yeah yeah. Once once I started blowing up, he started getting like a little like

you know, because things changed. I wasn't like his little plaything anymore. I was a Celia Banks the star, and I started demanding more things and wanting more things. And one day, because he was he was like going through this divorce the whole time we were together. So the finally hits the fan. You knew he was married, yeah, but he was younger. I was seventeen eighteen, but he told me that he was separated. He was lying. Then eventually I found out that he's still married. By that time,

I'm still I'm already in love with him. What's his name? Like? Wh I protect somebody like that? Because I just I just don't care, you know, I'm up now? What stuff like that would make you hate the industry? Though? Yes, exactly tell him what to follow you on Instagram and all that good stuff at Azelia Banks a Z A L I A B A n K S. And I think Azelia Banks an extremely talented as you can tell she's extremely extremely light skinned. Stop it. I'm so proud

of my light skinned brethren. Would you stop, Azelia Banks, ladies and gentlemen, My goodness, Yes, it's the breakfast Club. The morning. The breakfast Club's filling the team. This is the rumor report with Angela Ye on the Breakfast Club. Well, mister Elliott looks incredible and how did she do it? She posted a picture of herself and she said proudly to say, it's been four months. I have only drank water, no other juices or soda, and I cut out bread

and Lord knows that's been the hardest for me. See, I've never been a water drinker, but this has helped my skin. It really restored the glow back, and I don't feel sluggish, she said. Next up, if she could only cut out junk food, she said, it's that's my weakness. But if I can get those other things, I'll fight that too. Maybe only two cupcakes a month. I love

miss she looks great. What I will say this, I hate when people talk about water as if it's something new, like I just started drinking water, were our body has made of three fossil water? Like what were y'all drinking when y'all was kids, soda. No. When I was a kid, I really didn't drink water outside so we can to play a lot of basketball and run around football. Used to drink out the holes all the time, water holes, water, that's all. I never drink what the host water. But

I definitely did not drink water ever growing up. Now, we did when we played basketball and when we played outside, but then when we went inside, there were no water inside. You know what. I drank a lot of fruity juices, lemon mommy, we had we had red kool aid, but that was a treat at dinner. Any other time it was water. Yeah. But you know what, when people doing they've done they actually I was just reading a whole study with somebody. All they did was drink water, just

like Missy Elliott says she did. And it really makes such a huge difference when it comes to your skin. So it's easy to say that, but not everybody clearly does that, as miss Elliott just did it now and she's forty six years I love the fact that she posted that picture and said all of that, Hey, guess what else I just started doing? What's that breathing, taking in this oxygen is really good for you. It's easy to say that, but for some people is not so easy.

So she said, she said that she hadn't done it before, and now she is and she feels great, and there's a lot of people trust and believe. Everybody doesn't just drink water all the time. Absolutely, all right, Tierra Marie. Now, we all saw that leaked sex clip that was put out. I'm not sure who put it out. Some people were saying she did it herself. She denies that, but here is what she had to say on TMZ. So, yes, I record videos, I did everything, but I don't understand.

He threw me under the bus. I don't understand what's going on myself. He keeps telling me that he didn't do it. Was it a bad breakup. It hasn't even been a whole breakup. So yeah, we are well after the whole sex tape. Of course I'm pissed, and of course I still feel away, but we talk every day and we're still like in communication with each other. Now. He says that his phone got hacked, and she doesn't believe him at all. Well, when she was actually with

her boyfriend, right, because she's still talking to him. It's not like they ever stopped talking. There's actually pictures. I guess they're trying to say that she smashed his car windows and all of that because of this whole porn situation. Well, here they are together where she he's saying that it's her ex boyfriend that actually posted these videos and pictures. Tell the truth, Tex to everything. I'm me, Pierre, of you and your dude will stopped talking about it, we'd

have forgot already, I promise you. I don't know. It was pretty a big story yesterday. Yeah, it was everybody. People was hitting me about it, like do you have the picture? Do you have the video? Where can I find it? All? Right? Now? T I and Tiny it's been a year since their show ended, and rumor is that they could be coming back to television. It seems like, according to the Jasmine Brand, VH one is interested in reviving their show and BT is interested in bringing back

Tiny Antoya as well. I want to be mad at that both Tiny Antoya have done a lot. A lot going on at Tinya and what about Ti and Tiny coming back? I always love to see black families on TV. They want to it's been on for a long time, though a long time. It's been on for a year, it's been on. I'm talking about the TI and uh, the TI and Tiny shows right before he got locked up. So at least eight nine seasons that long. Yeah, yeah, maybe I'm not mad at that. Though. They still got

a lot going on and their kids are still young. Yeah, if they want to do it, I think that'd be great because I actually used to really watch that show. So and the kids, some of them are so grown now, so it'd be interesting to see how that is. All right, Well I'm angela Ye and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, miss Yee.
