All right, Well let's get the show right, Yes, sir, your birthday, birthday, Well, let's get the show. Crack your

front page news. What we're talking about, Well, let's talk about this Florida cando that collapsed the building, and we'll give you an update on how many people they have confirmed are dead and how many people are missing. Really sad. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Go on, Hey, hey, hey, Borning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news. Now. Over the weekend NBA Sunday, the Bucks beat the Hawks one thirteen, one h two. Now, they said Trey Young got injured. They said he didn't leave the game. He tried to hold it out. Buddy, he wasn't the same. Yeah, he had thirty five points, but the Bucks did when they lead the series two to one. Now, I said Bucks in six. But if ty Trey Young is hurting anyway, shape or form, Bucks in five. All right, for what

else we got? Ye, Well, let's talk about that condo building that collapsed in Florida and the coastal town of Serf Side, Florida. Families are waiting for news right now about their loved ones. So far, nine people are dead, one hundred and fifty two people are unaccounted for, and one hundred and thirty four people are accounted for. In that collapse of the Champlain Tower South As of Sunday night, the missing people are from at least nine different countries,

including six Latin American countries, different faith communities. There's rescuers from Israel that have come in. Rescuers from Mexico are expected to arrive today. They were able to carve out trenches and contain a deep rooted fire and they've been trying to pull victims out as crews are using all kinds of equipment to locate the people who are missing. They're also using DNA to identify some of the victims. They said, it hasn't been easy, but they have to

rely on that. They've been getting DNA samples from family members, so everybody's participated and provided that so they can do rapid DNA testing on site for bodies now while rescuers are continuing their efforts. They said there's new details about the integrity of that structure. There was an engineering report from more than two years ago with significant cracks and breaks in the building. They said, we are deeply troubled by this building collapsed and are working closely with the

investigating authorities to understand why this structure failed. They also said The developers of the Miami Condo Tower were once accused of paying off local officials to get permits for the site. It needed fifteen million dollars in repairs to bring it to code, according to a new report, and so they're investigating that as well. It was also undergoing fifteen million dollars in renovations to pass a required forty years certification when it collapsed. You know, it was built

in nineteen eighty one, and so that's what's happening. I know a lot of us are going through things in our lives, but a lot of us need to thank God we're not going through that. I wouldn't want to. I wouldn't want to be an individual who was in that condo when it collapsed. And I wouldn't want to be a family member, a friend wondering if my people's are allowed dad, or what's happening Like that's a different level of trauma. So I'm sending healing energy to everybody

involved in that situation, because that's horrible. The first victim was identified Friday at Stacey Faing fifty four. I remember the little boy who was pulled out from the rubble alive, and they couldn't find He was trying to find his mom and she was still missing. That was yeah, whatever, yea, somebody failed that building. Somebody failed those people in that building.

They have agencies and people are supposed to go around from building the building every year to check the everything or the building, and the fact that it was in that bad condition that they didn't get everybody out is troubling to me. And is there enough money to go around when it comes to compensation for those families and everybody else, right, because this has got to be a multi billion dollar type of situation. Right. I'm sure he has insurance, but I can't see covering it all at

not at all. And I wonder what insurance cover And knowing that, you know, he was getting warnings about the building and he knew the building wasn't up to part, but he didn't do anything about it, I wondered what insurance even covered it. That's true? All right, Well that is your front page news, all right, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.

financial abuse. Actually, when somebody uses finances to make the other person feel bad or control the relationship, it's usually with the person with the money doing that though, right, I mean even though it is y'all money technically together but it's usually it's usually the person bringing in the money that does that, that's the abuser, right, yeah, but it's also as because you know, been cheating and uh, you know, doing stuff I shouldn't enjoy.

Another thing that happened and Bee was getting the tea on that red carpet, and he spoke to little Kim. Here's what she said. Now I have to ask, right, not gonna say who against, but would you do a versus? Yes? You would do it? Yes? Oh all right? Is there anybody that you would do it again? So are you just ready for anybody? Nick Nikki? Really I would love

to see that. Yes, me too, Okay, we're not mad at that. Yeah, I mean I hope that does happen. I think that would be a wonderful verses. I was surprised. I was maybe they've been having conversations already. No, I asked, they haven't had any conversations. I definitely asked after. I was like, did y'all have y'all spoken? She was like no, but I just thought for the culture. She was like, musically, I think that would be great and I would love

to see that, Kim Nikki. I think so. It almost feels like it'll end up being a generational thing to some people. But if you're a certain age, like you know, and you saw both of their waves, I feel like you'll appreciate it more. If you're young and all you know is Nikki, then you may not get it. But if you you know, you forty two like I am, you'll appreciate both because you saw both ways. Yeah, absolutely and hardcore coming up. For me, that was one of

my favorite albums to this day. I could play that We Got Your Money on guys. Let's let's see right now, Nikki Kim, who are you going with? Man? I gotta sit down and go through their whole list because Nikki. First of all, Nikki's albums amazing, and then she got a lot of guest appearances. But then we can't forget that Little Kim was also part of Junior Mafia, you know what I'm saying, and she hasn't. I gotta go through it. We got money, you know, it's it's it'll

be a good bet a shot. I'm not easy. That's that's that's that's not it. That's not an easy one. And that's a hard one because, like you said, it's like different times, like a different time period. Yeah, And I mean, honestly, my my, my, my fortiness makes me lean towards Kim even though you know I love I love Nikki too. But you know, but I would just love to celebrate musically both of them, Like I think that would be dope to say celebration that reason. It

would be a dope celebration. But if I had to lean twenty songs, twenty songs, think, I'm I think I'm gonna go with Kimberly Jones from Brooklyn. Twenty songs. All right, but nobody really loses in first Nobody nobody losing. Now, other great moments little Nazex's performance, and you know, at the end of his performance he shared a long, passionate kiss with one of his dancers, and did he post

a little nas eggs? Did that be fearless? All right? Now, Queen Latifa got the Lifetime Achievement Award, and here's what you had to say on stage about her female mcs. I wanted to celebrate us because I know together we stand stronger than when we tear each other apart. Not seen enough of that, So respect to all the female mcs on the stage tonight. I'm gonna get off this stage. But I thank you so much for all of you the fans, for supporting every crazy ass thing I've done

through the years. Agony, my Love, Rebel, my Love, Peace, Affy Pride, now Coue. Latifa really is Royaldy though, I mean like she moved like Royaldy, like even when she was walking to the stage like last night, just like an African queen. You just want to see your excellence in real life to everybody. And lastly, I gotta say there was a DMX tribute Michael Kay Williams actually played DMX and we saw it featured Busta Rhymes, met that Man, Swizz Beast, the Los Grizelda and members of the Rough

Riders as well, so that was super dope also. And didn't Jasmine am I tripping to the David Myselivan do a new record last night? I'm gonna be honest, I didn't see that. All I was got a flight back from Puerto Rico that she did a record called Tragic, So I'm wondering is that gonna be like they're gonna they're gonna put out a reissue a Hotel and she got a new project coming out like which one is it.

Let's find out. All right. I will tell you this though, but with with the pandemic, everybody has new new music and new albums this year. The Baby said he's doing another one, Amigos is coming back with another one, Lotto got another one. Everybody's working on new music because they've just been at home. So they got so much new music to come out. So we'll get a lot of days at home. Even in Atlanta, a lot of the artists just been you know, working. Yeah, but it ain't

because they've been home. I ain't about to tell that lot of us and be like, we don't get Instagram. They haven't been traveling. Think about it. If you're a artist in Atlanta, you still can't travel outside of Atlanta to do shows during the pandemic. So they've been working. Yeah, last year, I'm sure they did. All right. Now we

got front page news. Next, what we're talking about, Well, let's talk about Derek Shopping because on Friday we heard about his sentence twenty two and a half years in prison. Let's get your thoughts. We'll tell you what family members from both sides had to say. All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club.

Let's get in some front page news now. In sports, last night, the Bucks beat the Hawks one thirteen, one oh two. They lead the series two to one. Now,

Trey Young got injured. He did come back in the game, but it just he just wasn't the same. That's right. And I said Bucks in six. If Trey Young has heard, it'll be Bucks in five and drop on a clue. Bombs with Chris Middleton. Okay to eight four three zone, the low Country zone, Chalton South Carolina zone. He had thirty eight last night, twenty in the fourth quarter. Looked like a damn video game out there. Goodness all right, Now, what else we got, yea, Well, let's talk about Derek Schouven.

He was sentence to twenty two and a half years for the death for killing George Floyd, and the sentence actually according to this who'll have to serve two thirds of his sentence or fifteen years, and he'll be eligible for supervised release for the remaining seven and a half years. So let's discuss. Gianna Floyd, who is George Floyd's daughter, spoke at the sentencing. Well, I asked, avived him all the time accent, How damn my dad get hurt? Do you wish that he was still here with us? Yeah?

He through his spirit. Yes, yes, If you could say anything to your daddy right now, what would it be? It will be I miss you and I love you all right. In addition, George Floyd's brother, Terrence Floyd, spoke, I wanted to know from the man himself, why what was going through your head when you had your knee on my brother's neck, when you knew that he posed no threat he had he was handcuffed. Why are you at least get up? And we'll have for me and

my family. We seek a massive maximum penalty because if it was us, it wouldn't be no case. It would have been open and shut. We'd have been under the jail for murdering somebody, so we ask for that same penalty. Now, Derek Chauvin's mother, Carolyn Polenti, actually spoke. My son is a good man. He has a big heart, and he always has put others before his own. I believe a lengthy sentence will not serve Derek well. When you sentenced

my son, he will also be sentencing me. I will not be able to see Derek, talk to him on the phone, or give him or special hug. Plus the fact that when he is released, his father and I most likely will not be here. I mean living a mother gonna with you to the end. When you see a person's mother give up on him, that trust that person is a special piece of pig pieces. So that to say, he had eighteen prior complaints against him before kneeling on George Floyd's neck and killing him, and he

got a body. That's not that's not the first time he killed somebody on the job. I don't know how great and Derek Schovin himself spoke also at his sentencing. This time. Due to some additional vegal matters at hand, I'm not able to give a full formal statement at this time. But for briefly, theole I want to give my condulsis of the Floyd family. Um, there's gonna be some other information in the future that would be of interest, and uh, I hope things will give you some some

peace of mind. Get I mean, listen, he got the sentence that white male privilege and police privilege get you. You know, when you kill a black person in this country, twenty two twenty two and a half years is a long time, but fifteen for a murder a whole body. Ask yourself if you can see a black man doing that to a white man in this country and not getting permanently he placed into the foundation of a prison cell forever. Okay, all right, Well that is your front

page news. And again we do want to always send out our condolences to George Floyd's family and friends. And I know it's not easy to have to relive this all the time, or even to see this sentence that doesn't feel like it's strong enough for what happened. But that's your front page news. All right. Well, let's open up the phone lines eight hundred five eight five one five one. Derek Charvin got twenty two and a half

years now with good behavior and time serve. It looks like he'll be doing what fourteen years fifteen days supervised release for the remaining seven and a half. All right, so what are your thoughts? How do you feel about it? Let's open up the phone lines. Let's just have a conversation. Eight hundred five eight five one on five one. Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the

Breakfast Club. It's topic time called eight hundred five eight five one five one to join it to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Talk about it morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now if you just joined us, we're talking about Derek Charvin. Now he was sentenced to twenty two and a half years. With time serve and good behavior, he could just do fifteen years. So we're asking what are your thoughts? Eight hundred five eight five one on

five one. Let's start in the room. Yeah, what are your thoughts? Well, I think my expectations it did exceed that just because we haven't seen this even happened. This is actually the longest sentence that's ever been given to a white police officer. For killing a black person ever, and so it could have been thirty years. That would have been the maximum. But I would have loved to see that. But I will tell you I didn't expect much so that, but it should have been more expected.

Sen they wasn't gonna let I didn't expect that much. I didn't think they weren't gonna sentence h but I didn't expect them to give him that myself, the longest sentence they've ever given. It absolutely would have had to, especially after the year that we had last year and some of that we had of civil unrest. They if they would have did anything less than twenty something years, it would have been their recommendation. Was going to be

between fifteen and twenty five was what they anticipated. And I was like, they better not just say fifteen, but a lot more. Though I expected a lot more because we all know people that's been in jail for a lot longer for short crimes. We know people in jail who who had transported drugs and got thirty years. We know people in jail that's done you know, uh fraud and got twenty years. We know plenty of white police officers they got no time or they got minimal time

for killing a black Yeah, but didn't have high expectations. Yeah, but you never happened before. Yeah, but times is different, and this case was very unique. I mean, it's the first time we've seen somebody, you know, put their knee on someone's neck for nine minutes and some change at a time when all of us were home because of the pandemic, like the war, the eyes of the world was on this case. They weren't. They couldn't just you know, give that man ten years, fifteen years or nothing and

keeping moving. Not not, not with this one. I honestly thought he was gonna get the max. I mean, with everything going on, like you said, I thought he was gonna get the max. I was surprised with twenty two and a half years. I mean, listen, there's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said about this situation. Twenty two and a half years is a long time, but it's not long enough for a murder, you know

what I'm saying. And like I said earlier, I ask yourself, if you can see a black man doing that to a white man in this country and not getting you know, permanently literally put in the foundation of the jail, like like when you commit a crime like this in America, if you black, they literally make you a part of the prison, like you're never coming home. But if you think about it, he's forty five years now, right, he's

at sixty. He'll be out. He still gotta if he's could be twenty years of his life left to do whatever he wants to do. That's crazy. If he survives in prison, they're not gonna let They're not gonna let that man. They're not gonna let them kill that man. I don't know. I just said, some protect him. I

don't have to kill survive, they'll protect him. But now sixteen and what happens he'll come out and then can he write about Can he do what Zimmerman did and sell all types of things like Zimmerman was doing it? Can he profit off of this? I don't know. I mean, they say he can't necessarily profit exactly off it, but I'm sure there's a way where he'll get to write his story or something. He should be under the jail.

He definitely should be under the jail, but he is being awarded the privileges that a white male and a police officer gets in this country. People were upset with his mother, but I mean, that's his mom. Mom. Did they think his mom is gonna be like no, throw him under them? Is gonna ride today? Mom? Man, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? How are you doing all? My name is Donnie. Hey, Donnie, what do you think about Derek Charvin getting fifteen years or

twenty two years? The twenty two? I saw a former law enforcement officer, Um, this is necessary because we as officers sometimes think we're above the law. I feel like this might actually be a positive movement towards the right direction that would see police start acting in the in the right in the right way. I wouldn't need Yeah, go ahead, And I was gonna say I would agree with you, man, But you know, look at all the

circumstances that surrounded this case. You know, all cases aren't like that, All cases aren't called on video, all cases don't cause you know, protesting the streets. So I mean, I don't know, it's a lot of circumstances that went into him getting at that time, agreed, I understand. Like me, I'm still hesitant too as well. I'm just happy that for once, finally we've seen a white officer get convicted and actually get some years in prison? True? Or are

actually killing a black person? True? Is it? Is it enough years? No? I honestly don't think. But at least we got something. Yeah. I don't like feeling like that about a situation, uh that that you know, there should be consequences though, like that's just that should be the norm. Agree, it should be the norm. But unfortunately, we're living in a world where police always were above the law. So this has to change. And I hopefully this is the concrete case that we can use in the future. I

hope so right. I don't I doubt it, but I hope so alright now too. But I hope though, because let me think about all the police killers we've seen since George Floyd, you know what I mean, So clearly their minds stayed out the change. But we'll see, I mean, you know, you got sentenced, we'll see, all right, Well, thank you, Rabel, all right, well eight hundred five eight

five one oh five one. If he just joined us, we're talking about Derek schauv and he was sent this to twenty two and a half years with good time and time served. You'll probably serve fifteen years. What are your thoughts? Let's talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Topic time on the phone called eight hundred five eight five one oh five one to join it to the discussion with the Breakfast club. Talk about it morning.

Everybody is stej Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club that if he just joined us. We're talking Derek Chauvin. Now he was sent this to what ye he was sent this to twenty two and a half years and he'll have to serve fifteen and then the rest he can do with supervised release. All right, so we're asking what are your thoughts? How you feeling? Let's go to the phone line. Hello, who's this? Heyde? Good morning, Good morning. I just wanted to speak on it.

Um that I have two brothers that did twenty years and present for robberies where no one were injured or hurt. Um. You know, he had definitely should be doing more time. I have enough. The oldest brother was sent to New York after he did his twenty years to another three years.

Still no one was hurt. You know, I feel like they did little or nothing of giving that man twenty two years on the flip side, when they let him speak to the family, my nephew was killed and his murderer went to address of the judge immediately stopped that you speak to us. You shouldn't speak to the family, Like yeah, but I mean, listen, you're not telling us

anything that we don't know. There are clearly two different justice systems in America, and Derek Chauvin benefited from being a white male who had police privilege as well as this is what it is. Hopefully the protect the tustody with I'm shirts will be something happening. Don't wish that on him. Okay, all right, all right, you can thank you, don't wish it. All right? Hello, who's this? It's Jamal? What's up? Man? First of all, goome on a nerd

Baddy King. Yeah, man, we all that's that's not what we all expected. You got what we all expected. You'll still get out and live life, you know what I'm saying, still have his wife to live and hopefully when he get you out, somebody in the Floyd family is waiting on him and to pick him off, and they still out. Listen, my brother, listen, we're not gonna do that. Okay. All we're gonna say is we hope that Derek Chauvin gets everything he deserves. That's it, and that's a bullet today.

I didn't say all of that, sir. I don't know what he deserved. I don't want to nobody from George Blas family to risk their own freedom either. Well I ain't you know. I'm just saying, you know, a hard hit man or something. Blessings to you came sending you healing energy this morning, on this fine monthday. Lord have murder. I mean I get it. I get the anger. Hello,

who's this my name? Uh? Charlotte Bay has still something when he was talking about Derek Cousin that if it were a black man, they wouldn't they would be thrown under the deal. And I'm a living, a living situation like that my father has in the jail the twenty seven years twenty and it's exactly case, exact same thing it was. Uh, he's not My dad wasn't right, he was all wrong in the situation. But this man is getting considered for a public situation to be be free again.

That's not right. Yeah, for a murder. For the fact that George Floyd Is is never coming home ever again. You know, said my dad, My dad was wrong, and he did until this entire time, never once. If he is considered foot role, he'd be fifty four years old. By four years old. Damn you know what I'm saying. So at least make the crime making punishment fifty crime. Yeah, yeah, I mean listen, man, like I said earlier. Yeah, there's nothing we can say that hasn't already been said about

this situation. There's Northern Angle. Derek Chavin got twenty two and a half years for a murder. We know that's not right, but that's what happens when you're a white male and you got police privilege. That's it. That's why when you said that, I wanted to call so at least the people that hear your station in the mordency, at least hear the other side of what happens, because if my dad might as well have been dead, I've grown up without him. Damn, I'm a time you got,

howm a time you got? Told him? Uh, fifty four? The life for a murder roles old by the time when he committed a murder, Yeah, committer, he committed a murder, robbery and assault. How old was he? Sixteen? He was sixteen? Wow? Wow, wow, I have I have a cousin of blocks up winding, sixteen years old. The situation was massing to I'm not gonna lie. But if they can reconsider the stand for freedom, that should give everybody a chance for christ. Right. Wow. Yeah,

that's tough, brother, Thank you, thank you for shure your story. Brother. Ye man, I mean it's always tough when kids are involved, man, because we know kids, you know, are not thinking screat their brains aren't even developed, you know, correctly. Who knows it might have been on drugs, whatever it was. So when you see a sixteen year make a mistake like that and they lose their whole life, yes, put that in perspective to somebody like Derek Chovan who took a life,

but only I have to do fifteen years. All right, Well, what's the moral little story? I don't think there is one. We know, we know what this is. It's America goodness, curcious. All right, Well we got rumors on the way, yes, and let's talk about bow Wow versus soldier boy. You know, it was a very active weekend. The BT Awards Essence Festival first weekend kickoff and then we have next weekend and Soldier Boy versus bow Wow. So let's talk about it all right, We'll get into the next It's the

Breakfast Club. Go Morning Morning. Everybody is tj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. Let me shout out to everybody on BT as again. Had a great time at the BEET Awards. It wasn't as packed like it usually is, like because of I'm sure COVID protocols and the pandemic, they're still keeping people away. So if you're an artist, you will only allow with your publicist. Everybody else had to meet you inside or after the event.

But it was had a great time speaking to a lot of people, actually seeing people and saying what's up, and and giving half pounds and half hugs, you know what I mean. So I had a great time this weekend at the BT Wards. I'm gonna be honest with you. I can't believe we really the new grown ups now, Like I'm forty two, I'll be forty three tomorrow. I got a thirteen year old in the house, Like when

did that happen? Like I'm sitting looking at my daughter's life on Saturday Saturday, like, this is not how I grew up. She's thirteen, she's having a lou Is in the backyard. It feels good, doesn't it right that you weren't able to do as a kid. You can provide that for her and you just see her smile and everything you work hard for. It just makes you feel. But it's no manual to this thing. Man. It's literally

like being in a whole new world. Like I'm listening to these kids talk about Olivia or Rodrigo and Sharon Carpenter and I don't know what the hell is happening, and Yester Cabrina Carpenter. And then yesterday one of my daughter's friends had a bat mitzvah, which I didn't even know existed. I thought it was barb that for females. It's a bats I learned yesterday. So I'm in I'm in Walgreens looking for a birthday card and my dad, my mom and my daughter's like, no, Dad, you have

to get or a mix for card. And I'm confused. So I'm asking the guy who works there, you have something that says modeled off like I'm just when did this happen? How did we become the grown ups? I was just watching Soldier Boy in bi Wow the night before Jesus, all right, sounds like you're having a little midlife crisis. I'm definitely not having a midlife crisis. It's just that, you know, when you step into that ground biagra have to do it. Midlife crisis and you should

understand you got kids. Yeah I do, but I mean I ain't. I don't have a problem. Like you didn't say I have a problem. I just said it's a whole new world. Like sometimes you just step back and you're like, yo, we really the growing ups now? Like you know what made me that? This weekend I was in Puerto Rico and I try to order cheese case of das off the kids menu and they wouldn't let me. Yeah you do that. I'm just citizens breast closer to that.

When get away free pancakes on Sunday mornings for senior citizens, I was like, I just want some cheesecase to do you have to be under I was like ten years old. Well, I'm glad you made what happened though, I'm glad you finally realized you're growing up. Goodness crazius. All right, well we got rumors on the way. What we're talking about, Well, let's talk about some grown up things. Versus Soldier Boy versus over the weekend. All right, all right, we'll get

to that Nextus to Breakfast Cloud Go morning. This is the rumor report with Angela yet Well. Who was watching the versus this weekend Soldier Boy versus Bad Boy. It pretty much started on time too. It was just a little bit late, right. I saw Drake was in the comments. He said, Drake, he should have hit me. I would have popped out for this. On God, Yeah, I was mad about Soldier for that. There's no way you don't reach out to Drake and ask him to come out

before we made it. Now. In addition to that, Soldier Boy was doing some things that was really annoying. Bow while it felt like like he did two songs in a row to make it clap, and then he did the remix with Nicki Minajo. You take a bow jake ahead of what the forty but take us looking little man was challenge, don't worry travel to the Soldier Boy.

He actually played make it Clap three times because he bought French out to do it too, Soldier Boy making him so because it should be like a time limit. But now I was like, and you can't be playing like songs back to back to bad. But it's funny. He was just doing what he wanted. He didn't play him back to back. Though he played that song then he would come back to make it. I thought it was dope because Soldier Boy understood this signment in the

assignment is this is all entertainment, right. He was just out there putting on the show. He performing, but he's like Babwa hasn't at leased any music in a while, so you know he's at the gate was doing to make it clap and then he did the Nicki Minaj's Virtus has never heard before, and then he had French Montana come and do it live. I mean a lot of soldiers music just aged better than Bawd's music. But what I realized about Bible Wild's music, it brings out

such a sense of nostalgia. And these kids who grew up on BAA, like these kids who was going to the screen toys and stuff like that, like they loved these records. And then Soldier Boy did that dunk and then he did the Nicki minaj back to back. That was really making bow out so annoyed. It was funny. And then Bawa actually played Soldier Boys rant at one point during his over there, and that was pretty funny too. It really shut Yeah, don't you keep going the private

school you did. I wasn't really high school. I got kicked on school. I was at the turn school I was. I was at by the way out that that transition was phenomenal. Envy used to be a DJ. So you played, you played, you played Duncan, didn't do the itty biddy. That's great, that's a great What do you call that a transition? Right? That is a transition. That's phenomenal. All right. Now,

another surprise was Romeo came out. It's the first time in twenty years at and Romeo shared the same stage, so the boy brought him out as a guest something. Wanting to tell you this. For twenty years my first song, my baby, I put you on my song. The world put us against each other, but you to Michael Jordan, rock every era of Michael Jordan, a Kobe and a Lebron. You to Michael Jordan, you inspired all of us. It's up here, you know, for real, you need your roses.

You need your roses while you smell them. Me. I was Kobe where I didn't have to be the most talented. If I'm gonna work my ass off, I know my purpose. And Soldier, you was a lebronovo everywhere you came, and you was just the innovator. You switched it up. You deserve your roses too, man, it was so nice he is. I mean, he's a very well raised young man. Flew to the middle. Sou Bou bought out three six Mafia, right, but he doesn't have a song with him? Or was

I confused because he didn't do a verse? Yes, he did do a verse. He's on Diverse and he did a verse on that twist to my body inside the side. I didn't know he was on that record either. But uh, Marion, out Marion, but out you mean dere Butt. The Brady bought out a parchise Boys play from the franchise Boys Boys. Why room Me not on the Millennium tool. Shouldn't that be an obvious inclusion? I don't know. Maybe maybe he don't want to do it, but yeah, I thought that

will be all right? Well that is your rumor reports. All right, thank you, miss ye Charlomagne. Who you giving that donket? You know, man, attention is the worst drug known to man. We'll talk about it four after the hour, all right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club, Go morning, get the breakfast Club. Hey, it's Angela yee. Don't let weak care hold you back. Carol's daughters got his strength collection supports here as it gets longer for here.

That's fifteen times stronger after one use. Available at carol'sdoor dot com and your local retailer. It's the Donkey Charlomne Devil Breakfast Club. Wow. Donkey Today from Monday, June twenty eight goes to a young lady who is currently on the run right now because, like so many other people in this world, she is addicted to the drug called attention, or, as they say in France, attention on okay, attens now.

I don't know nothing about the Tour de France. Okay, it was on Saturday night, but it was too many black people doing brilliant black things this weekend for me to pay attention. I was watching the Javante Davis fight. I watched the soldier boy versus by wile I was watching h Chris Paul get the one win away from his first NBA Finals. Not to mention, my oldest daughter turned thirteen this weekend, so I was not paying attention

to a bunch of French folks on bicycleles. But when you see a video of all those French folks on bicycles crashing looking like that picture of the French fry that's building Meek mills lap while he was sitting pool side, then I pay attention. Okay, may that made me stop that at least see what happened. So I watched the video, and I watched the woman step in front of a pack of races holding a cardboard sign up so it could be caught on TV. And then this happened. Let's

go to NBC Sports for the report. Please, how many people are gonna get back up? Oh my goodness, may one fan has done something that has created absolute havoc. It was the shign that the rider in front hitch and that is the result. And it was just a domino effect. When the riders are that nervous, you're smacked in there like like sardines and there's nowhere to go. So if you're sitting anywhere behind Tony Martin into his left, most likely you're gonna go down. You really don't have

the chance. Broad its supernarrow. You see us crash there, and a domino effect just spreads it all the way across and closes this road down. So the guys on the back, along with the ditch on the right and left side of the road, there's no place to go. You just have to go right into the pile. You're either going to be held up or worse, you're gonna crash. My producer just informed me that all writers aren't Friendship takes place in France. Its writers from all over the world.

Way to get in the way of a good joke, Dan, But anyway towards de France. Organizers are going to suit a woman who caused this huge crash. They said they are suing her to show the tiny minority of people who do this don't spoil it for everyone. Basically, they're about to make an example out of this young lady, but they have to catch at first. Oh, she's on the run like Sean and Beyonce nos Carter because now she's facing a year in prison for causing the worst

crash and the history of the toward de France. Now does she have to deal with the consequences of our actions, gys. I pray though, that she's not somewhere contemplating making a permanent decision based off temporary feelings. Yes, I'm talking about suicide. Okay, you have to understand people who craved the drug called a tension can handle said drug when it's positive, when it's negative like this, And you caused the largest crashing towards the French history, and the world seems like they're

talking about you. That's a lot of pressure. Okay. I know she's scared to death, that's why she's on the run. But I pray she doesn't hurt herself. But police are on the hunt for this female suspect who has not been identified, and all of this is happening because she wanted to hold up a sign to the TV cameras that said gold grand granddad in a combination of French

and German. I have no idea what the hell that means. Okay, I am a forty two year old man who will be forty three tomorrow and when I read gold grand granddad, it translated into my brain to go, go gadget. Don't ask me why, That's just what happened. Okay, here's the moral of the story. What is the point of trying to get on camera in two twenty one? You have a sign, hold the sign up, have someone take a video of you holding the sign up with the race

going on behind you. You're already on the side of the road. All you had to do was just turn around, hold the sign up. Let somebody videotape you the bikers are passing by. That's cool. Problem solved. What's the point of trying to get on TV cameras in two twenty one when you have your own cameras on your phone. Whoever that sign was full, they could have saw that on social media. You could have texted that to the phone. But that's just not enough for people in two twenty one.

That's the problem with the attention we received from these smartphones. That one high is so addictive and more addictive than any drug on the market right now. And what's sad is we don't even know we junkies. Please give this unidentified woman who ruined it toward the France the biggest he hull. She could have really hurt somebody. She could she could have possibly kill somebody. Yeah, all that for

a look. And the thing about it is what most people don't understand is your shoes or your actual pedals because you're clipped in so you just can't put your foot down and stop like you have to unclip, and you fall. I forget you a biker. Yes I am a bike. I forget you. Put the little shorts on and put the little jail on your bookie. Yes, that's right, get on that little banana bike if you trained years for that. So the fact that she just ruined all of that, yes, rub it in, all right, don't rub

it in. We don't you know. I'm sure this young lady's going through a lot of pres You never fell off your bike. Huh. You never fell off your bike because you forgot to unclip. I'm gonna be honest with you. Now, I forgot that you was a biker. So now I'm mad I gave her a donkey today. I'm proud of this young lady. I hope you I hope she finds you in your packing fall. That's what I hope happens. Goodness, gracious, all right, well, thank you for well, yeah, thank you

for that donkey today. She deserves it all right. Now, when we come back, Curly Nikki will be joining us Nicky Walton m. For the people that don't know who she is, you want to break down who she is, guys, Yes she is. She has her own podcast and it's a really great one for you guys to listen to. She does like it's like a quick thing every single morning that she does it and you can listen to that. It's very inspirational. But she also got really popular for

her Curly Nikki journey on social media. That was kind of her thing. But she is now a licensed therapist. She was empowering women through their hair, right she started off with empowering women through there. She's also an author, so she's a best selling author and she's won an end Double ACP Image Award, all of those things. She's a hair guru, spiritual teacher and she would teach you a lot. I think you'll be very uplifted this morning,

all right. In her site is Curly Nikki, that's Nikki dot com and we'll talk to her when we come back, So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club, Go Morning, The Breakfast club Yep, Charlemagne and God Angela yee dj Envy. I don't know where he ran off too. But we have a special guest in the building this morning. Her name is Nikki Walton. Good morning, Nikki, good morning, how are you. I'm wonderful Curly Nikki. You know her on

social media as at Curly Nikki. I love when people walk in the room and you can just feel the divinity, just like a flowing off to man. This like it was a lot of suffering, just a long journey, like around the world journey, six hundred books, meditating daily for like four hours a day, and I found what I was looking for. And now it's like I have no choice but to share. Just like with the natural hair stuff,

I had no choice but to share that. Well, let's start with that, right, Let's start with Curly Nikki and how that even came about. I hated my hair and myself. You know, I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin, and I had straightened my hair. I had it straightened my whole life. And when I got to college, there was no such thing as a black style. It's in this very small, little white town I was in, and so I had no way to get my hair done, and I'd have to go three hours home to Saint Louis,

Missouri to get it straightened. But I was also in college back in the day, so there was no air conditioning. So when I get back to my door, it would go back, it would go back, and then my self esteem would go down, and I'm like, this isn't okay. You know, I was a psychology major. I could tell. I'm like something is off. So I started learning about hair and I started sharing, and I launched Curly Nikki

and it went viral. You know. I got myself on tire banks, and I wrote a best selling book with HarperCollins, and I've been working with Doctor Oys as their resident expert, like ever since twenty thirteen. How does hair help with the healing process? You know, for me, it was my first step toward freedom. So I felt like I couldn't just go in and apply for a job. I have to first figure out what am I gonna do with my hair? And that makes you you're not on your

A game because you're concerned about your hair. You can't just go on vacation. You know, I'm gonna give braids, Like what am I gonna do with my hair. That's not a good quality of life, Like you should just be able to live the way you were born. And so that was my first step, like why am I not comfortable in my own skin, in my own hair. So once I pulled back that layer, like the layers just kept coming back, and I'm like, I'm not even this, you know, like going beyond all concepts. So it was

like my first step into a larger enlightenment like spiritual journey. Yeah. The big disadvantage because even for myself, I used to straighten my hair all the time growing up, and it would take you so long first of all to do it.

Then you have to maintain it God forbid of rain. Yes, And like you said, when it's humid out and then your hair gets off frazzy, and you just don't feel right if your hair doesn't look a certain way, anxious in the in the rain, in the humidity, like when it's warming people are having fun, You're like, what is my hair now? I got a plastic exactly, can't swim? Yeah, So and you're right, and so I do feel like growing up, you always wanted your hair to be straight.

I actually even did a straightening process to my hair that really damaged my hair a lot. This thermo recondition. It looked nice because I read about straight no matter why. But then when it was time to grow it out, it's just look awful during that period of time. But it took your curl pattern out. Yeah, so then you had to pivot to the time where now everybody wants to have you know, natural curly here, but we couldn't even find any products at first for natural and curly here.

Now now now it's completely different myself and my cohort, and it's like twenty two thousand and eight about twenty fifteen, we completely changed the way black women view themselves and their hair. And it also affected the way manufacturers were making products and how they were marketing two black women.

So whereas before it'd be like before curly hair was like oh yoh, yug, you know I want my hair silky smooth, now it's like, oh, of course, you want your natural texture to be popping, So we're giving you products to support that. We're not downing your natural texture. That was a whole ad campaign from a company I can't was they like Doctor Miracles or something. It was

crazy commercials. Man, Yeah, like down frizzy looking, highly textured hair, giving that the before picture and the after picture being straight, smooth, silky hair. But it's like, that's not my hair. So when you see that image, how does that make you feel?

I'm sitting here listening. I'm just like, man, I can't wait to see what the next generation of black women looks like, because you know, I got three daughters, and I think about, like you said, all the representations that I know didn't exist when I was young, Like they've got children's books about hair texture, and you know, my older daughters is gonna be thirteen this weekend, like she's proud to have her braids and everything else. And I got to stop the young white girls from touching her

hair and saying how much they love her heads. I just wonder what's that gonna do for that confidence that that next generation tremendous. They'll be able to focus on stuff that matters, you know, like to be able to go off to college, your oldest starter and not have to be worried about her hair, to be able to just be studying with you boys too, to even understand and men judging women's hair like they have issues if I don't date girls with weaves, but sometimes you do

that because it's just easier to protective style. You're growing your hair around. Yeah, so you can't judge what a woman does. Also, sometimes all those styling and all of that, people who are always having to get their hairstyle, they want to protect their natural hair, yes, and so they wear a wig or they wear a weave just in order to be able to do that, and people are so judgmental. Stuff your hair is like it's getting burned by the curling iron or the hot comb or write

a passage for probably it was terrible. I remember, like you know, Easter Sunday, like the day before Easter Sunday, having my ear folded down with a paper towel over it, trying to protect myself and it usually helps, but I mean the sweat, just the fear of getting burned, and then the sweat your hair is reverting real time, you know, because you're not supposed to get it wet, but you're sweating because you're scared. It wasn't I see that's where

mc curler. Yeah, that's from the ones. Oh my goodness, Yeah, I got burned on my ear a few times. That's what I tell my daughters when I when I see my wife doing their head and they're like, I out you Like, that's the right passage. Now let's talk about Good Mornings with Curly Nikki. Because you did Lunch, a daily podcast. So what inspired this? I know it just lunch, like actually earlier this week. Yeah, yeah, So I knew during the pandemic, I'm like, I have to do something different.

I know everybody was feeling that pressure of like the same day over and over again, feeling trapped at home. I'm a single mom, I've got two kids. I also have my parents with me that are helping tremendously with childcare, but the parents and the kids, it was always Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Nicki, Nicki Nikki all day or Curly Nikki stuff, you know, work stuff. And I'm like, I've got to take my power back. So I started waking up two hours early, starting at five am. I'd sit, I chant, I'd do

my journaling, I do some yoga. And that started in November twenty twenty, and it was so awesome. I started sharing on social and I was getting so many questions, so many dms, so many requests for calls, and all the questions and all the statements were the same, I'm not happy. I love what you're doing. How do I do it? How do I do it? And so I was just DM and back everybody because I want people to feel better. That's always with my goal, feel better,

feel good. And I'm like, I can't spend all day responding to people, and I'm like, I know, podcast it feels like I'm talking to the individual and I can help them tap into what I'm tapping into every morning. Because nobody's happy unless you have found peace inside. I don't care how successful you are, I don't care how much stuff you have, what you have achieved. You're not happy unless you have a peace within. And once you have that, like once you find happiness inside, you'll start

seeing it outside. But you have to start doing something different every single day if you want to see something different, if you want to be different. And when it changed my life starting that was November. By March I was talking to you, Yep, that was out of the blue. That whole summit, you know, just came from this habit of waking up and just being not having to be

anything for anyone. You think it's because you was setting your intention absolutely and it wasn't even like I am intending, you know, to start a successful podcast because it's already number four on the charts. And spirituality, I wasn't like visualizing and I've done all that stuff we all have,

you know, I wasn't affirming anything in particular. I was just doing my mantra, which is in Sanskrit, and sitting and being in the silence and listening to the silence, like that's what I consider meditation, and from that silence you feel a love, so just be in contact with it. I'd sit in the presence of that like it was my real job, and now like my real job has come out of it. I feel like my purpose has

unfolded from that. And I know that whoever you are listening right now, if you aren't happy, or if you know you're meant or more or for something else, and even if you can't see it, you don't have to see it. You just have to feel this, and then that comes. We have more with Curly Nicki Nicki Walton when we come back, So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning, everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee Chalomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking

it with curly Nicky Nicky Walton Chalomagne. I wonder what the universe was saying around that time, because it's like, that's when I got into meditation. In December two. It happened on the spiratory retreat. Yeah, it was just my girl Dee de DeBie Brown. We went on a spiratory treat in Mexico and like every day that's what we were doing, yoga and meditation, and I just have not looked back since. I wonder what was in the air. You know, it changes. I started this journey that you know,

it started in twoy thirteen for me. I called Tracy Ellis Ross crying because I was like, I have all the stuff that the world told me to get, and I don't feel good and I'm still looking for the next magazine interview or the next spot on TV or the next book deal. And I'm like, and when I get it, I know I'm not going to be happy. And she's like, you gotta get out of the shallow in and go deeper into your spirituality. You got to start reading better books because I was like reading The Secret,

you know, just like you need good stuff. It was like the gateway drugs, you know. So I'm very appreciative of the secret, and so that sent me from there. I went into Ekartole, Power of Now, and then just everything else. I went deep into like Adviteavedanta, which is non dual Hinduism, and then I found out there's a non dual Christianity, you know, and it's all the same, and they're all pointing to the same presence. It's like, it's not when they say go within. It's not like

turning in a direction. It's like a dimension and it just feels like love and it sounds like silence. And you can listen for it a really easy way I tell people, because I do this on the podcast every morning, I give you a different practice to tap into this. If you put your headphones on and you're listening to your favorite song, instead of listening to the music, listen for the silence, Like right now, you hear my voice and you hear the quiet that my voice is coming

out of. Pay attention to the quiet, and when you find the quiet out here, it points you back to that quiet that is that is like existence, and then you become aware of what feels like a release, like you let your stomach go, you let your shoulders down, you breathe a little deeper. Your face naturally smiles when you're connected to this, and it just unfolds into your world and you meet everyone from this place because you know, you don't see them as another anymore. You see them

as yourself. You see them as this love or as God appearing as people. It changes the way you interact with the world. I feel like we listening to the podcast right now exactly. That's what the podcast is every morning, Yeah, and this is a great way for people to be able to start their morning right because as we go out to face the world, we all have these rituals that we do in the morning as we get ready

to start our day. But I think starting our mornings with you is a great way to make sure that we're going to have an amazing time, an amazing day. And also just at the morning, like more relaxed. I know, I guess so dressed. Like even driving to work it's stressful, yes,

especially in New York City. Then, like the podcast is super short, it's five to ten minutes, and a lot of the reviews they say they listen first when they're up brushing their teeth, but then later on the commute, like in the commute to work, that's the best time to calm down. And then on the way home too, you know, because it's like helping you as long as you're in touch with that. It's like I'm not teaching.

I'm not a teacher. I'm just feeling love while I'm talking, and that love gets awakened wherever you are, and then you can feel that and then you take that into your world and it's like we're just passing a flame and then you light someone else's candle and it just goes and goes and goes. I like what you said about You said we should move beyond our minds because my sacred purpose called she always says, stop thinking with logic, move with the spirit. So what was that transition like

for you? You know? So, I'm also a licensed psychotherapist, and I was trained to teach people how to watch their negative automatic thinking, their negative thoughts, and then replace them with positive thoughts. But the problem is, like it's so many thoughts and it's so negative that you have to go deeper, you have to get to the root of it. And so again, we listen for the quiet. There's a place inside where you don't have to quiet

your mind. There's a place inside where you're always meditating. There's a place inside where you're already happy. There's a place inside where you're already confident. So you don't have to get quiet. You don't have to get confident, you don't have to get successful, you don't have to get God. All you have to do is recognize that place inside where God is, or where love is, or where that

confidence lives, and then you stay aware of it. So, just like right now, your attention is on your thoughts, you place it onto this love or onto the quiet, and then the thoughts are still there, and that's fine, but now you can see them for what they are. You don't have to believe them. You don't have to grab one and then feel bad about it. You don't have to take it so seriously. You can just notice that it's happening like a cloud in the sky, but

you're the sky, and you stay as that awareness. And it's a different relationship with your thoughts. They don't frazzle you, they don't cause you to feel anxiety, and when you do feel anxious, you recognize it is. I'm not anxious. I just forgot to feel peace. I stepped out of piece. I made someone or something more important than this inner love, than this joy here. And then you're right back. And you might still be a little upset, but there's like

something that has shifted in you. There's a space that's opened up where you can step back and sit back on your throne and it can be calm no matter what. So I'm never upset. I'm just out of peace. And then I find the piece again, and it's just a breath away or just you know, just a turning within, just a listening away, and I'm back, and then I can be more effective in the moment. I love that. And you're read what you said? Six hundred books? Yeah,

I mean probably more. It's been crazy. All the books, all the books, and they all say the same thing. All the religions they all like in their essence, they point back to the same core that we all have, no matter who you are or where you are, if you're dead or alive, this piece is what we are. What's your favorite? Mentioned that Cartotle a Powell and great book. What's your what's your favorite? What's the one that like

the Supreme Yoga. It's also called The Yoga Facishta. I just found it actually last year, and it's summed up everything I read and everything I came to know. If you're looking to get into this, though, I'd highly recommend The Power of Now by e. Caartole or The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer. That's a brilliant book that talks about that inner voice like a roommate. Like, if you had a nasty roommate, you could put them out, But our inner voice is nasty and we can't put them out.

We have to learn how to live with them, you know, and ignore them. I'm reading a good one. Not call My Grandma's Hands, Racialize Trauma in the Pathway to Mending Our Hearts and Bodies. Oh that's powerful. That's a powerful title. Yeah, Angel Arrive, put me onto that. That's that's That's one of them ones. Because all of this stuff is just helping us to deal with our traumas. That's it. Yeah, basically the ongoing trauma and the little microaggressions every single day,

every deal. You think we ever get to a true place of healing and wholeness. I do, if we can get beyond completely identifying with the person that we think we are. You know, if we can see that there is more to us than just the body and the mind. And that's what I do on the podcast. I'm trying to help people move beyond just thinking that they're Charlemagne

or just Nikki. It's like, what is it when you hear about oneness and it sounds all woo wo and spiritual, there's an actual, true, experiential way to tap into that, where you know, Nikki's not other than me or this person is not other than me, and it's not something you have to imagine, it's something you feel. And once you start feeling that, that's healing, and that does the healing. It does, and if everybody was there, we wouldn't need

any healing. That's right. Look Good Mornings with Curly Nikki or God Mornings with Curly Nikki. You know, make sure you guys subscribe. Where can they find the podcast? So it would help me tremendously if you listen on Apple that's the one. That's the one I told you. I'm number four in the spirituality charts already this early. I'm also doing a giveaway. I'm giving away three iPad airs for folks that leave reviews and send me a screenshot to my DM. At Curly Nikki and Nikki is with

Yeah, at Curly Niki everywhere on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram Curly c U r l y n I Kki. All right, it's Nicky Walton the Breakfast Club. It's about time. This

is the rumor report. What Angela needs fund the Breakfast Club? Yes, and since the pandemic started, Furious nine, Fast and Furious nine the Fast Saga the ninth obviously filmed from the action franchise, but in an estimated seventy million dollars, which is the biggest box office number since the pandemic began. I love it. It's also the largest debut at the box office since twenty nineteen Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker. Can go check my AMC stock. So that's a huge deal.

But that's you know, people going back out. I love it. People back out and about Okay, now one person has died and four others were injured. That was in a shooting that took place in the early hours Friday. They said it was believed to be an attempted robbery in the Hollywood Hills, and the person whose house they attempted to rob belongs to Fashion Nova CEO Richard Sagan, So there were two groups exchange and gunfire. What they are saying is that the three suspects in question tailed him

to his home. When the vehicle came to a stop, that's when the shooting took place. He's believed to have made it into his house before shots were fired. They don't know if the suspects knew it was him and the roles worse, or if they followed his car because of the high value of it. Let me ask you a question. Why it seem like that people are shooting more before people get robbed and keep it moving. But now it seems like people are getting robbed and then shot.

That is not true. Yes, it is get so many people are got robbed, didn't get shot. The Great Father Carter told us a long time ago, broke niggas don't want no cash, They just want to kill you. Okay, Yeah, they've been doing this. This isn't new, all right, and I meant to do this last week, but I just want to get rehab. And she posted that she is

batter lose this addiction. Loving God, I pray that you will comfort me and my suffering len skill to the hands and my healers, and bless the means used for my care. Give me such confidence in the power of your grace that even when I am afraid, I may put my whole trust in you. So we don't know what addiction exactly that she's battling. She did not share that, but we do want to wish her so much love, right, And it doesn't matter, you know what I'm saying, doesn't

matter what she's addicted to. Just I'm glad that she's getting helpful whatever it is she needs to get helpful. She got her own line of underwear too. They sent me some of it is super cute, so shout out to Young m and Gabby. Thomas has broken the US Trials records and the women's two hundred meters at the US Olympic Track and Filled Trials, so she finished in twenty one point six one seconds. That means she earned a spot at the Tokyo Games. Congratulations to her. She's

so dope, all right now. The Raven Sanders two Raven Sanders that throws the shot put. She broke her a record too. She's going to Tokyo as well. And she's from chalk to South Carolina the eight four three. Ay right, And Serena Williams is not going to the Tokyo Olympics. She just said she's not heading there. Um. She said, I'm actually not on the Olympic list, not that I'm aware of. If so, then I shouldn't be on it. She said, there's a lot of reasons that I made

my Olympic decision. I don't really want to get into them today. Maybe another day. Sorry, all right now. Justin Bieber wants people to leave him alone. You know, he got a place in Brooklyn, and while he's trying to go from his car to his apartment building, there's crowds of fans waiting for him outside. That has to be annoying. I'm sure it's annoying people to people that live in

that building also in Williamsburg. And here's what he said, Hi, I hear this is my home where I live, and I don't appreciate you guys to be any you know what at the end of the night. And I'm all like, you want to relax, Sorry to appreciate it. Yes, yes, that's some fan interaction. Is that annoying? I mean he broke it down perfectly. He broke it down perfectly. He was he broke it down perfectly. That's his home. He

just wants to rest and relax his head. He said, any place else, no problem, I'm coming to my crib. I'm shocked. Don't even know where he lives. I mean, realize how dangerous that is. Like if you just talked about people robbing and killing and all types of other stuff. It's like, why would you let people know where these high profile folks live. It's just hard for people to not know. They see you going into your hearties. If you get the packages, somebody knows where you live, and

the next person knows. I mean, I don't know that it's that easy to hide that, friend. That's why you should move all the way out the way if you can afford to. All Right, And the brat is upset that Wendy Williams is saying that she tried to hit on her because it just never happened. Here's what she said on the show. Well, you got a strong pickup game, unless that's the way you always stick to attractive women. Like do you think I tried to pick you up?

You win? Look, I've got less on my phone. The last time we talked and I text you, it was after I saw your documentary and I felt like you ain't got no real friends, so I called to check on you. You said more than if you were a no girl, you better check your phone because I got the same receipt. I got the same phone, And don't do that, girl. I mean, I love you, but I never been attracted to your girl. All right, well, okay,

if I was gay, would you like man? No, when nobody's safe on Wendy Show, no more, Wendy is jumping on everything moving. That's right. Okay, Well mercy and let's not forget the best. It's in a whole relationship. All right. Well that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, miss ye. All right, Well, now when we come back, we got the people's choice, Mike shout to revote. We'll see you tomorrow. Everybody else, get your requested right now.

It's the breakfast Club. Good morning. So Breakfast Club, your morning's will never be the same. Angela, you're here, and did you know that the General Insurance has been saving people money for nearly sixty years. That's a long time. So if you want the quality coverage you deserve at prices you can afford, check out the General eight hundred General or visit the General dot com. Some restrictions apply. Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we

are the Breakfast Club, Good morning, Good. This was a great weekend for just TV between the Fight, the versus the Beet Awards basketball, this was a great weekend. Yeah, definitely since Festival. I'm not gonna lie Sin Festival got lost. And the reason I think San Festival got lost is because they weren't televised. I didn't hear anything about that Sin Festival. Oh yes, Vertival just like it was last years in a row. It's a wellness house. It's also

going to be next weekend. They had some performances. We did a lot of things in person that were prerecorded and then it's streaming online for people to be able to watch. Yeah, that wasn't that wasn't gonna work. You know what I'm saying that when you got to BT Awards live and you know you got people at basketball games and people at the verses and people at the fights, Like if you're doing something virtual, that was gonna get

drowned out this weekend. Yeah, I just think it's too much for them to have planned to see what was going to happen during this pandemic because it's a lot of moving parts. I will say this though b ET had like BT, they went over and beyond for the BET Awards. It was very nice everything they said. They didn't skimp on anything for this BAT Awards. So yeah, I think the BT Awards is one event, but essence festival,

it's a whole festival. It's a weekend festival with a lot of different moving pirates and stages and you know two day concerts and then the in person like booths that are set up and the panels. It's a lot. So I don't think they could have planned and advanced that far what was gonna be happening, what the world would be like at this time, because it takes like a year of planning. Absolutely, they should have just had in Atlanta like everybody else do it that's all you

gotta do. If you got an event, do it in Atlanta. Throw it against the wall, seaward sticks, something's gonna stick. All that stuff was in Atlanta this weekend. Van David's flight was in Atlanta. The Hawks game was in Atlanta. The Soldier Boy it was Yeah, it felt like Atlanta. And then I think the whole audience there had to be vaccinated right at the BET Awards, Yes, everybody, Well, yeah, you had to take a test before you got there. You had to prove that you didn't have you just

took a test with it. I think a day or so, because I know when we went to go see Dave Chappelle Radio City, the whole audience had to be vaccinated. Wow. I also wonder how fast is little Baby's jet? Little baby everywhere? Right, I was thinking the same thing. He was at the fight, he'd be at the game, and then he still made every day where. And I started thinking about this one night because I saw I saw him in Miami. That's when I hosted the YouTube TikTok's event.

And then later that night he was in Atlanta at Young Thugsu Young No Gun's birthday part his birthday and I mean, I know that's just Miami Atlanta, but still it's like, how fast is Little Baby's private jet? He was in Atlanta for the fight, then flew back for the BT Awards rehearsal, then he went and did the show, and then came back for the for the actual awards. Probably just be sleep on that plane. You know that he working, that young King is working the Little Baby

all right, Well when we come back. We got the positive notice to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Guee, Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Just want to remind you guys, it's six days left to my car show out in Atlanta. I'm super duper excited. It's gonna be nice. It's gonna be a great event.
