You know, like for example, if a dude cheeks on a girl and he like, I forgive you, I take you back, but like one week years down the road, you still like throwing it back in my face. That's like, come on now, so this just happens. This just happened to you, Caesar.

Well, I will say that sometimes things trigger you, you know, so you might have forgiven somebody, but that doesn't mean that you completely forget it, and so there might be certain times when you fall back into some old habits. It takes a long time to build up that trust. So it's an effort on both people's parts, though I do agree you can't just keep on beating somebody up after

you said let's work on it. But every now and then, you know you don't intend for it to happen, but you get a little mad. You're right, you're right, you're right. We are you when we all be trying to, you know, love our best lives out here. I feel you. Well, thank you, bro, good luck man, get it off your chess eight hundred five eight five one on five one.

Last weekend, she got in trouble, a little roadways incident that went all the way left, and she ends up getting arrested and hit with a class accelity. So her bond was one hundred thousand dollars and I gotta pay ten Okay, I don't want to

pay tens. I got a vacation coming up in two weeks, and I feel like maybe a little jail time might give her a little character, you know. No, you know, I'm gonna tell you something. Um, I went to I went to jail one time for pointing in presenting the fire arm. I think the charge the charge originally was a Sultan battery would attend to kill I was. I was in the back. One of my homeboys, you know, was on the front and shot and my dad did the same thing. My dad let me sit for like

forty five days. Number one. The bond was high and he was waiting for he was waiting for the bond to be reduced. But he did. He was He was letting me sit on purpose because he said he wanted me to learn a little lesson. Now, this is your sister's first incident. Uh, yeah, but she's forty two years old. Though she's forty two. What happened? She allegedly pulled out a weapon or something? Yeah, she did. How do you know about this? Did you hear about this on Facebook? No?

I don't know. I mean, I mean, the only way you're gonna get a felony for a road rages if you bought a weapon. Brother, Let me ask you a question. If you let her it was pretty bad. If you bad, if you let her sit a little while longer with a bond go down. I don't be so because it's she hit like she ended up getting to it with a lawyer who happened to be white. She's whack. Oh it's pretty bad, bro. We got to get her a really good lawyer, like I'm talking about, like a Jewish lawyer.

At the end, there's some good. There's some good black lawyers. Man, it's some great black attorney. What he's speaking? When's the vate? When's the vacation? Look, it's in two weeks. I was supposed to go down and know it's my only vacation time of the year, and I'm in a conflict. Man, I don't know if I want to spend this money because I don't think I'm gonna get it back. I don't know I'm going on vacation. Let me all right,

let me ask you a question. Okay, hold, wait, wait, wait, wait wait wait, college Now, if you was in the same incident when she bailed you out, that's the thing. I don't know. My older sister, my twin sister, yes, but my older sister, I don't know. What does your heart tell you to do? What is your spirit telling you to do? Right now? Forget because the only thing that causes conflict is the devil. Keep my money, That's what the That's what the Lord is telling me to

keep my money because I worked hard for Charlotte. Enjoy your vacation, King, Enjoy your vacation, King. She's forty two years old. She ain't got no money, did she got a crib? But anything. That's the big she kind of she's worked for the city. Her husband got a little bit of money. But her husband, she got a husband. Man, enjoy your vacation, King, that's what I'm saying. Okay, I appreciate your Enjoy your vacation. King. Y'all you figure that out.

When you come back from vacation, you'll have a clearer mind. But what about if her husband ain't got no money, we ain't got nothing to do it that you'll have a clearer mind to think about it after that vacation. I started to go fund you that money. Yeah, enjoy your vacation, King, call us and tell us about your vacation after you take it. Ye, man, enjoy your vacation. Man. Sister, God bless her, God bless her kids, God bless her, God bless her. She got a husband, she made a choice.

Let that man go enjoy his vacation. When you come back, then y'all figure it out. Enjoy your vacation, brother, get it off your chest. The Breakfast Club, Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building. Oh, Maria, welcome, Thanks for having me a minute. Ya how you're throwing a long time a man all as well? Tell me about your morning routine, man, what do you do in the morning

when you wake up? Um, I definitely take a beat, you know. UM usually do some breathwork, you know what I'm saying, say some affirmations, and I pretty much get my day started after that. Yeah. I feel like at some point you went on a real journey of healing, because I remember when you was on your physical routine with the boxing and everything, and then it feels like at some point you started realizing I gotta get mentally

and emotionally stronger. Yeah. Also because of a lot of the things that you know that were like happening on the outside, you know what I'm saying. And that's why this book really kind of came into fruition, unbothered the power of choosing joy, because you know, I needed to do something more, you know, really figure out what works for me, you know what I'm saying, And the breath work, you know, the mantras, all of these things that I'm sharing in the book definitely put me, you know, on

another level, just as far as emotional intelligence. We made you not respond right because you've been going through a lot the last ten years. Everything and every I mean ninety percent of people are gonna respond somehow somewhere. Yeah, whether it's personal, whether it's relationship, whether it's family, whether it's your group, whether it's your label, whatever it is, don't respond right. Why. I am a methodical person. I

am a thoughtful person. So a lot of the time, if I am going to respond, I want to make sure that I get what I need from it, you know what I mean. Because rarely when we react into life that we actually get what we want, you know what I mean. So for me, I've always just been like, Okay, I'm gonna do what's best for me. Do you check a box like I remember he said that and she said, definitely.

I definitely have a mental list. Nah, I'm mature enough to realize that a lot of people's perspectives and just position in life are temporary, you know what I'm saying. Because things change, you know what I'm saying. So I try my best to not take things personal. You feel like you slipped a little with all these things that have been happening, and he has to be like, let me go back into my arm. No, I think no. I think that it's important to stand up for yourself too,

you know what I mean. I think people get confused when you know, people speak up, that it's like, oh mean not or me being bothered instead of being unbothered. But I think that it's important to also stand up for yourself and speak up when you feel that, you know what I mean. Okay, So what about Rasby saying he was triggered by certain things in the documentary? Did

you feel some type of or more? It's like, okay, this was a serious issue, you know for him, I think, um, for raz it's interesting because you know, he obviously is intelligent enough to see an opportunity to speak about things and use it to his advantage. And what do I mean by that? You know, I just mean that, you know, I know Rasby and I've never heard him say he's

been tried, you know what I mean? But I also, you know, have you know, along with my team, especially on tour, you know, have given him the opportunity to better his process, and you know he hasn't taken those opportunities, you know. And the thing that's I think that's tough for me and a lot of people to understand. That is, you know, as a type of brother, you know, you have to hold your brother accountable, you know what I mean. So when he said that he was triggered, I think

that that is something that he could have felt. But you know, if people watch actually watched the docu, I was there supporting him, you know, although that small clip was out there, you know, me and my team, we were out there supporting him, asking them what he needed, trying to figure out, you know, our best to help him face you know, these very traumatic things that he's

been through. You know. So I just thought it was interesting, you know that he decided to see the clip, you know, in which he wrote off on to say that he was being triggered. I thought I just thought it was interesting because he knows that, you know, I've been for me. He had to sign off on his part in the documentary. Yes, I'm saying, like, you know, this was interesting. It's just like yo, but you know, we were on tour and we were supporting you. We told you ask and how

did that work? But you know how healing is though. Healing is like it's not a destination, it's not train. So something may not bother you on Monday, but that's the same thing might trigger you on too. Yeah, and you're right, I agree, you know. I just think that it's it's interesting in the timing, you know what I'm saying, because that clip had been out there for a couple of days and then it was just like, okay, but are you getting help? Bro? Yeah? Are you taking the steps?

Are you taking the steps you know to to not always express you know, your emotion student Internet? Like, are you doing the work now? Are you doing the work? That's not what I see? And how is it with you know, because you guys were brothers growing up, Like, yeah, you guys were everywhere together. You guys grew up with each other. So how was it that you guys really don't mesh and communicate. When they do, it's usually I haven't heard you say really much bad about them, anything

bad about them, but them talking bad about you? So how does that work? Because you all are still on tour a world. Yeah, that's that's a that's a that's a challenging question just because let's just take the concept of brotherhood right, everybody has a different version of that, you know. Unfortunately, because some people don't actually have siblings. I would say, in one aspect through our journey, you know, we were put together to be brothers, but I don't

think in essence we were. You know what I'm saying. I think that, you know, there were a lot of people that made sure that we connected and then disconnected. It's almost like we were made to be brothers, to be secret enemies. Yeah, there's only certain stories that could embody like what that means, you know, because I believe in the real brotherhood, jealousy doesn't exist. You know, you might feel like, Okay, well dang, look at my bro he going up. I want to be inspired, but it

never makes you vindictive. It never makes you jealous, It never makes you go past a certain point. You know. I would say, in the aspect of our journey, we have a brotherhood, but in reality, I wouldn't say they identify as what I consider my brother, like my brother Ryan, you know, like our journey, the things that we've shown each other, the challenging times we have, the way we got through that. You know, that's how you're able to really truly identify who someone is to you in your life.

You know what I mean? Somebody that loves you. They don't do certain things, you know, they don't say certain things. So you know, if we're just really looking at it as far as what it is, you know what I'm saying. If it acts like a duck, talk like a duck, it's a duck. Don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning, the breakfast club and black Yard a breakfast club was too kicking with O Marion Charlemagne. Let's talk about the

buying time. And because I find it so interesting in that there was the versus y right, probably didn't go to where you wanted it to go. Back fully, for sure, you seem like you reacted with work, You reacted with the doc, you're reacted with the book, the show. How did that come about? Because clearly that's divine time, yo,

that's facts I've just been preparing. And even though you know versus didn't go you know it still was, you know, wildly successful, the most successful one, you know, so to be able to show up in the journey and be able to be like, you know what, damn, this might not have been a way that I wanted things to go. But oh wait a minute, watch this move right here. So I'm really highly thankful for you know, all the energies.

You know what I'm saying, rest in peace. My an energy transitioned earlier this year, you know what I mean. So I definitely feel like the ancestors on the other side is moving certain things in the universe for me, and I'm just excited. Man. Feel when people were questioning your twent yeah, I was gonna say, what went wrong that night? What would you have changed? Well, you know, it was a lot of things that went wrong that night. First, not have a sound check. Another report why didn't you

do a sound check? Was that it was no time. It was so underwhelming. They were not prepared, you know for what I expected to be kind of a night in R and B that just kind of turned the sexy up on the planet again, you know what I'm saying, Like, really, let's talk about the women, you know what I mean. But it became kind of hip hop really really fast, you know what I'm saying. Early on it was like that was the set of the energy, you know what

I'm saying. And what was your question? Again? How do you people people questioning your Yeah, I think that that's the mark of a legend. I remember hearing people say Michael Michael Jackson couldn't seen. And when you have been doing something for so long, you know, you can definitely have an off night. But that is not the tell tale of you know, of a twenty two year career, you know what I mean. So it felt like people took the opportunity to say things to you that they've

always wanted. It definitely felt like, yeah, that was crazy and had to bother you a little bit, your artist and what LEVI say. It definitely challenged me unlike I've been challenging such a long time to level up because you know, I'm one of those people that I don't really move for much because I study and I practice and I work on my craft so much, you know what I mean. So I'm unmoved. But one thing that can move me, one thing that has moved me, you know,

was the will to just be better. You go to therapy? Um, no, no, I have what is a Marion done wrong in any of these situations? I think not speak up? And also I think I'm a little you know, early on, because I started so young, you know, I'm a little gullible, you know what I mean. Just as far as business,

you know what I'm saying. And as far as what people don't give you, what people are not supposed to give you, you know what I'm saying, Like the respect that sometimes you assume you might give but that you're never really shown. You know what I'm saying. So I would say that, you know, that's definitely on me. But I don't have no problem, you know I'm saying, being honest about my mistakes and taking accountability for anything that

I've done wrong to people. If you ever came across me and you know, have a relationship with me and you were confused about something, there was always an opportunity for you to be able to gain some clarity. But the actions, you know what I'm saying, And that's something that we always have to bring into question when we

speaking about people's personalities. Like there's layers to this, you know what I'm saying, And people have to be held accountable for what they're projecting versus their actions, you know what I'm saying. So what I would say, you know that I've done wrong, it's just that, but it has gained me such a heightened level of awareness, you know what I'm saying, that it's probably second and none because you know, I've been through it over and over again, you know what I mean, So I know I know

where I'm going. I want to ask you a couple more questions, especially in particular the drink champion of you. I saw Fitz said that he's not in contact with you because he never had your number and it's always been like that. That true. How does that sounds? I don't know that sounds crazy man without calling you first, Okay, come on? Ye. And he also said that you went solo because he had sex with a woman you liked. Nah,

I don't remember that happening. He was the first one to go solo because you know, Fizz was like yeah and yeah, and you know, the rapper was like the most famous in the group, you know what I'm saying. So Fitz was definitely like in front, you know what I mean as far as certain vibes, you know what I mean in the group. You know what I mean. You know how like Okay, Fitz doing something or he on his own way, but we all getting on our own way, you know what I mean. So I viewed

it like that. Didn't they kick you out the group? Basically? No, not really now, it wouldn't they fault. I take that back. It was Chris Stokes fault. He made us become brothers and then he separated us. The elder that you talk about, Um, he's one of the elders. Okay, you know what I mean. You don't have a relationship with that, you know, Rasby and I think it's been rumor that you know, he talks about sexual abuse with Chrystokes. Have you ever seen

anything like that? I haven't. I haven't seen anything like that, you know what I mean? But yeah, I haven't. Work. Yeah, well he's still standing by the background dances remark or you feel bad about that? Nah? You know what when I think about that, you know, I thought that was funny because I'm gonna just you know, keep it playing with you. You know what I'm saying, as you've seen with the mother of my children, like, I'm never pressed off of a woman choosing up or who she want

to be with. That's not my personality, you know what I'm saying, Like, Hey, women choose you know what I'm saying. But for me, that's that's not what it was about. That's trivial in a drop, you know what I mean. In the ocean of the other things that we all have shared an experience. That's another thing that's just like, what does that have to do with anything? Bro? You know what I mean? What's up? Man? You know you think all communication is done like because God forbid, we

live in a real crazy world. You see things that's happening to people. If something was to happen to one of them, wouldn't you feel some sort of way? Yeah, man, I don't want nothing to happen to nobody. And I wish the well man, you know what I mean, Like, I really hope that they see through this experience and they take a little bit more accountability, you know what I mean, moving forward, and I like, I hope that they do good things for that life. You know what

I'm saying, Like, I don't wish nobody bad. What does She just asked me to ask you, what does watermelon have to do with everything? Do you like water guys? Do you like watermelon? Yes? Watermelon is the best, very healthy. Yes, it is good for your heart, good for your skin, thank you, and see so. And that's the window, and that's the window that people just don't want to walk through because they want to just stay at the you know,

sexual aspect of it. You know what I mean, Because good things are like sex, you know what I'm saying, And that's why we're all addicted to it, you know what I'm saying. So when you mix the fruit with the sex, that's another level. You might want to try that, you know what I'm saying. Try water Momon Taylor, I'm telling you might want to try that. You want to might just want to start by kissing somebody, somebody that you love, well, watermelon, and see how you feel. It's

interesting they give you Flag four. But when Beyonce you just randomly said it in the song, nobody cares randomly Watermelon. You just don't be in Oh say it, Oh do it? It's a problem, all right? Well were thanking guys the power that you enjoy? All right? Well it's the breakfast club is or Mario, So breakfast club. Your morning's will never be the same. Let's fall a great night's sleep

We just celebrate my daddy fifty birthday just Friday, right, So me and my boy tells him out to the club. You know, uh, you know, we drunk, you get a few drinks. Man and my homeboy end up tapping me hard, thinking something's going to jump off. He like, look over there my

Yeah, basically, the mama and the son gotta jump the daddy? Yell, what are you talking about? Mama and the son gotta jump the daddy because he was seating. Let me ask you a question. Trap did Nate and his mama jump cal? I want the phone with theirs my mama? Right? What would you do? Mom? If I came home and told

I'm telling I'm telling mind, Dad gonna go because now it's about her sneecy that can't go down. Gotta protect mom. All Ron, thank you so much. Hello, who's this? Jungle Jim? Jungle Jim? You got it? Brother? All right, Joe? You're doing today? I'm doing well. How you doing? I'm good?

I'm good man. So so what should the gentlemen do? Bro? I think the gentleman shouldn't uh call into the radio first of all, to be talking about something like that that's really personal. And I also think that y'all shouldn't promote that stuff on the radio, promote what it's real that happens, infidelity. I agree we shouldn't promote infidelity on the radio. I've been listening to Charlotte Maagne to God, and you know what I'm saying. He's been speaking on

a gay stuff a lot. Man. You know what I'm saying. You know what that does? Man? That plant seeds? Bro, you know what I'm saying. And if you world word I thought he was talking about infidelity, man, you're talking about I thought you were talking about the daddy that was going to the club with the with the fun that was being gay or something like that. Right, you think discussing things about people who are gay plant seeds. I do. The biggest issue in this situation is that

the daddy's cheating on the mama, sir. That's the biggame. Mama with a man though, right, that's the second issue to me. It's a real life that really happened though, that that really wasn't made up. It really happened. A gentleman call. And I mean you say, we don't know if his name, we don't know where he you know, but you also know there's gay people in this world for real. Should we ignore gay people? No, we shouldn't. We shouldn't ignore the problem. That's what we shouldn't ignore.

What's the problem. What's the problem? Cheating is the problem? No, cheating ain't never been a problem. Man, You know that cheating is not a problem. Okay, you let me let me okay, Charlemagne got let me get your position, man, please, all right, we are your position because I would really speak about something that need to be spoke about. And I know y'all probably wouldn't want me to speak about it. You know, ahead what you got to say? Okay, let

me let me let me say about the cheaking situation. Okay, cheat and was something that was brought upon you? Now, if you did something that brought back to you from karma, then it comes back around to you. So's you cast your question? How would you feel if your mom? How would you feel if your girl cheated on you? I wouldn't feel no kind of way because it must have been something I did in order to make her go

do that? Is that called victim planning? But someone gets cheated on, you're saying it's their own fault that they got cheated on. So you would stay with that is and that's not playing a victim. That's not playing the victim. But would you stay with her that's been aware of something that you've done? That? So what you gotta understand for every act? I respect that. No, he's absolutely right, But would you stay with your woman if you cheat? If she cheated on you? Would you stay with him? Yeah?

I'll stay with him. I have stayed with him. Well, if you just asking, okay, so if you cheat on your girl, that's her fuck. If I cheated on that's not what he said. It must have been something that she did in her previous relations right, so it's her fun. I can't have you ever had a situation to where a girl where you meet a person cheating and you end up losing them the same way. Have you ever had to happen before? I know you heard a thing.

I understand what you said. I totally understand what you're saying. Brother, I totally get so when you go into relationships like that, Okay, you think that you got away with something that you might have been cheating on the man in the last relationship, you do what I'm saying, and now in this relationship, Yes, I totally get it. Every you know, everybody doesn't cheat. Sometimes people get cheated on and they haven't ever cheated. No,

that's not scapable. You gotta understand the way you got You can't be ignorant about how the world were now and what you're saying. You're saying that you're saying, you're saying it goes both ways. So let's say your girl cheating on you, it's because of something that you were lacking or something that you did that you weren't giving her No, it's something that I did previously that came back on me. Maybe are you do Let me ask you this question. Do you understand what parma is? Yes,

but I don't believe karma is causing effect. I believe karmen is created through actions. It's created through action. You're positively correct. That is correct. It is made through actions. So for every action, there's a reaction. Is that correct? We agree with that? Equal opposite? Yes, equal opposite. I agree with that. Okay, Now what we're speaking on it's parma right now, young man. You see what I'm saying so so so now it don't matter what I'm gonna

give er on. Man, stop saying that. But now I see what he's saying. What he's saying, what he's saying makes perfect sense. Like he's not putting the blame on anybody. He's just saying that. You know, if he got cheated on in a previous relationship is probably because he cheated on somebody and a relationship previous. Now, conversation with that, you're pushing the narrative of gaining you know, that's what that's what he started with. Well, I ignore that. I

don't give that any energy. Okay, all right, well, what's the mold of the story? I forgot what we were talking about. By the way, the moral of the story is cheating is wrong and everybody should be allowed to live the truth. And if you're in a situation where you're not able to live your truth, and maybe you need to get up out of that situation and stop having everybody live a lie with you. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Hey morning, everybody is DJ Envy,

Angela Yee, Charlemagne MC guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got special guests in the building. She's in here with all this big queen energy. Ari Lennox, welcome to Thank you so much. How you feel this morning? All right? Who's nervous? Who are you? Because you're just kidding. Yeah, but it's just a little nervous. It's a very legendary show. So what took you so long to come up? Hinton? Fear Fear? Yeah? What you scared of y'all? Why? Yeah? I love No, it's just you know, y'all can be

a little tough on people sometimes. Yeah, we've evolved, You've changed the whole lots. Yeah, and I feel that I feel that I want to if you don't mind, you know, for people that don't know who Ari Lennox is or where you're signed to or how you got your start, I want to start from the beginning for those people. Since this is your your to do a documentary. So you're signed to J Cole. How did you get into

the music industry and signed to Cole? Well? I was working at public storage and just dropping music on SoundCloud and there's an amazing rapper named Omen. He loved my music. He told Eve and Cole about it, and he was like, we'll fly you out like tomorrow or tonight something like that so that you can meet Cole and the studio and stuff like that. And I was horrified. You know, I just got the job. I didn't want to lose the job. It was ten dollars an hour. It was

the highest paid job I ever had, ten dollars an hour. Yeah, so I didn't want to like lose this, so I almost didn't go. But honestly, I think it was fear, you know, fear of flying and things like that. But I just I got over it. I drank Matt vodka and I got on that flight. I was the first flight as well, first flight in a long time, like years. Did you lose your job? Yeah, I did, and I was I was horrified and I started doing uber. There's a lot here now. First of all, what were you afraid?

Why are you afraid of flying? Well? I had a traumatic experience when I was young on a flight or the crash or something. Yeah, well the engines went out and so yeah and so as Yeah, so as we're about to land, he's basically telling us to brace for impact. And I was very young and just praying. But I don't remember having fear before that moment. But after that moment, I was just scared at trump. Yeah, so absolutely. Now let's let's let's rewind. Now, you lose your job and

you become a noover driver. I can't see are you driving? Am I good driver? It depends. I'm very safe at driving, yes, but there are things that have happened where it's just like I could have been more a little bit more alert. Okay, where you what was your star rating? Star rating? Oh? It started dropping like crazy, and and I don't I don't, I don't know why some people thought I was driving too fast or one note I got was I was switching lanes too much, but I was trying to get them. Man,

I don't know what he so. Yeah, I was public storage. No, I didn't have no big fancy you know, tell me. Um, it was just a nice black interior and a big bowl of candy and drivers have candy. Yes, I did have my charger. I would give because you know you can't trust didymus I did? No? Not my I would never, I mean never. No. Did you make conversation or were you quiet? I made some conversations sometimes. Um, three times people threw up in my car? How does that work?

Do they pay for it? Or they pay for it but it's nowhere near enough? And then you lose like five days of work because your car stinks and you're traumatized. Yeah. How long did you have the Uber job for? This is interesting? This is my longest job today. Uber. I probably did for like at least a year or something. Wow. Yeah, I guess the meeting didn't go well because you lost your job, but then you started driving Uber. No, the meeting went really well. I just you know, I had

to still make money. You know, they were still you know, taking their time with the idea of like signing me. It wasn't like an immediate This is my last uber question when you saw that. When you saw the episode insecureed we needs to rad was driving, did you say, oh, I see me? Didn't see oh you know? Okay, yeah, yeah she drove Insecure. Wow. I feel like a loser.

I need to you know why I never watched Insecure because every time I would watch an episode, I would just get so sad about my life and how like sexy these men were and how I had no men. But but that's my choice. I feel like that's my choice. Maybe it is. It is my choice. Could you could have a man? But it might not be that one. Some people are okay with settling and saying Okay, I don't want to be alone, and people make you feel like that. But the truth is it's better to like

wait till the right person. Absolutely, And I've definitely learned that like the hard way, so very like intentional particular about like who I want to share my time with. So I find myself for a loan a lot. Why not changing the mindset a little? Like you see the sexy man and you'd be like, I'm gonna have that one day. I'm gonna have a man like that for myself one day. I've been more adamant on like my standards. Absolutely,

I do do that. Like I'm more like, yes he has to be fine, Yes, he has to have a nice job. Yes, he has to be good to me, an effective communicator, like I am, like, have his own place. He did have his own place. I am, you know, chanting those things within. My assistant loves you, right, was Mercedes. Mercedes, So she sent me a couple of questions. One of the questions she said, you have a song called pof. She's single, by the way, right, she says, have you

tried the dating app pof? And what you ever catfish? And then she goes, by the way, that dating site is terrible? Oh, so have you ever tried plenty of fish before? Absolutely? I met my first boyfriend on pof. Really his name is John. I don't know if I'll get in trouble for that, but yeah, I shouldn't shot at that time of John lit? Right, John is gonna be so lit when the interview come out. Yet kicked up at some dating sites because people didn't believe that

it was you. Yeah, tender um they didn't believe it was me, and I didn't want to blank my Instagram so that people would know it's me and then maybe reach out to me for the wrong reasons like secret rappers. Well this is thank you. What is happening here? I think I need to step outside more. But I'm finally stepping outside and like meeting like nice, like you know, enjoyable individuals. Let's go back to John for a second. Why did you throw John back in the sea? Well?

John went to the military, and I felt like we were growing apart and the affection was lacking. He called me bro one and I was just like, you know what, I couldn't yeah, and it triggered me. But and I know it wasn't just bro. It's fine, you can call me that. It's just I felt like our romance was kind of dissipating, and so I think that was just a triggering thing. And we had an argument. Now I was like, well, I guess we're not together anymore, and

that's kind of where to protect myself. Unfortunately I do that, and he was like, okay, fine, we're not together anymore. And he was really serious. Well, his loss, how many songs is he inspired? Um, probably po f the the EP and my album Shape, but her Baby, that's literally greatly inspired by him, and I'm so grateful. What was the first relationship I ever had? Yeah, we're cool. We check on each other sometimes. I ain't get an EP credit Shape. Well, I mean say when you just don't

want to get back together and back in tent. I know women that swear by Shape butter Baby, like they like that's like their their bible. So that's that's big of him. You John I inspired Shape. But those T shirts please? We got more with Ari Lennox when we come back. It's the breakfast Clod Morning Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Ari Lennox. So you've met a lot of guys like, well, you've dated guys and

they've been secret rappers. I thought that was really funny. Oh when you date somebody and then all of a sudden you find out later like your pastors to Cole from Mere exactly, Oh my god, And it's the worst it happens, like, but that's why I've learned with dating acts specific questions, are you a rapper recording do you play basketball? Specifically? Goodness, that is hilarious. That's a plot

for a movie or something. The girl thinks that the guy is cheating, but he's really sneaking off the recording escape exactly. And what did your mom and your family say when you were recording with Cole and going out there and recording because a lot of his parents don't believe in the industry, right, my dad never really knew what was going on in my life. Yeah, I mean

he knew. He was the one who always said you're gonna be something one day, like he he always said that, but like he was kind of always doing his own things, so he never really was seeing that I was how serious I was about music, which is why he was like, you should be a nurse. But really he wanted to be a nurse. And my mom was very calm, was just like forward, like happy for me, but yeah, very supportive. She never really knew this, like how serious he said that.

Your dad used to always tell you you're gonna be something, You're gonna be something. Is that put added pressure on a daughter with wow, no, you know what? And it sucks because we were not even speaking right now you

know what's going on. Okay, so we're not even speaking right now, But I do feel like when you instill certain things like that, it goes a long way for sure, because um, that is the one area in my life where I feel like I did really good right now with you when your dad not now speaking, is it something small that you can call him like because it's so much so like it, Um, I really think it's important for like people to be healed when they're bringing

kids into this world because it's just like that alone, I feel like probably innately helped me in so many ways, like always grinding and like that. But um, I could also see the other like you know that I carry and it's, um, I'm sure it has to do with the others you know that you go through trauma. Let me let me tell you something I learned in therapy because the first time I had a breakthrough in therapy

was literally realizing all the daddy issues I had. Yeah, So when me and my dad had a conversation and I realized, damn, he was a human before he was my dad, and he had his own issues self distribus issues dealing with mental health issues, and he was just doing the best he could with what he had at the time. It allowed me to give him a lot

more grace. Yes, and got parents, I know, And I feel like there needs to be a lot of group therapy, and of course I want to continue my therapy alone, but I think that would probably be best because I know these are things I'm even carrying into my dating life and I just don't want to have that weight on me. And I do want to be more compassionate because he went through a lot, you know, with foster care and abandonment issues and all kinds of like dark things.

So I do recognize why he is the way that he is. And you've been really open about going to therapy. When did you decide that that was something you wanted

to do this year? I was just tired of just being a big ball of like traumas, like just being unaware of like what was going on inside, and like, you know, a lot of times I could be so triggered and it's just like, well why, And now I'm realizing why somebody's just pretending like I don't exist, or like not even looking at me, or like kind of having like this arrogant nature can be so triggering, like where did I see that like earlier in my life

or experience that, Like I'm starting to realize it never stops. It's like a cycle. Like if you don't realize that you're carrying all of this way, it comes out in different ways and it people will be like, why is she freak out? It wasn't even that serious. It was a reminder. It was a flashback, probably a trigger without even realizing where it came from. There's always something in

our childhood. Yeah, always something that happened in our childhood and to bring you that happens to you an adult. When it happened, you get triggered. You're like, oh, that's what that's why therapy iss like, oh that's why I'm reacting like yeah, what happened here? Yes, and it's it's been really beautiful and like eye opening for sure. Are you healing those those childhood wounds? Oh? Definitely, I want to keep going deeper. This start is happening for sure.

And you said you see a lot of that in the relationships that you have now, Like what are some things and patterns Like I know you said you want to be more sympathetic, So what are some things that you feel like, Okay, I gotta work on this, damn

probably how I'm communicating. I'm a very anxious person. So basically instead of saying I've said this before, but instead of saying like nobody cares, like it's just about well, you know, I feel like this is how I'm feeling, like you know that I'm not being heard or you know what I'm saying, Like, I try to work on how I'm communicating because I get so kind of in my own anxiety and mess that I can kind of be a little insensitive sometimes. So I just want to

work on like that. And when it comes to performing and getting on stage, are you the type of person who gets nervous before that or does it all go away and that's where you feel most comfortable most times? Are rarely get nervous like that nervous, but certain things like TV performances like I'm shaking, like it's just certain things, or Jasmine Jasmine like at the when we performed at the BT Awards, like horrified, like I don't want to

let this legend down, like Jasmine Sullivan is everything. So yeah, question, when you get triggered by secret rappers, do you remember the struggle rapper who traumatize you. Oh, so many, so many, Yeah's gracious, people will never hear of. There's so many, right, people we never hear of. Like they just they won't say it until like you like them, and it's just like, oh,

I'm about to go to the studio. Why, like when whatever, they don't know who you are when they want to date you and act like, oh my god, like hey, what what do you do? You know, and act like they're not sure who you are. Yeah, I've definitely been in a relationship where he acted like I was not who I am at all. That's ridiculous. Yeah, I was trying to feel appreciated. He kept trying to say it was just it's ego, like, you know, it's not all

about you typing. But really I just felt like he always kind of diminished everything about me, you know, like kind of pretended like this singing part didn't even exist. I hate people like that. Don't try to make me feel small because you're clue. Yeah, oh my god, oh my god, you know what. I want to know what you know? What I mean? People that try to make us feel small just because they haven't done what they want to do. In life. Yeah, I guess so, but now no Jesus, but now you know, like I just

my goal is just just a date nice people. It's got to be hard though, because you're Arilenox now for you don't know who well, you don't know who likes you for you or who likes you because you're a super Scars guys like side the you know plenty of fish like where you meeting. Well, the other day I met a guy at the fashion show that was really nice and he was he was so fine, but the day can get terrible. What was the date? Was his dress probably better than yours want to dress? How he continue,

how you're sitting there? He walks over. He actually security first while we were sitting in a seat, and he oh, dang, I don't want nobody to butts. Yeah, she's sitting next to you, but I won't tell you that. You could stop now. Yeah, he just he reached out and introduced himself and like shook hands and it was really cute and sweet. Was the first date the first day, I ain't gonna tell you. It was a lovely restaurant, It

really was, but he was late. He was later. I think it's bad during fashion Now he supposed to be he was. He was hanging out with Jacole and um, what what No, That's what I'm saying with Jacole my day. The whole team is like, stopped my day. It's just not all right. We got more with Ari Lynos when we come back. It's the Breakfast Clobald Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Ye, Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast Club were still kicking it with Ari Lennox, Charlomagne,

what was your intention with this album? The intention was just me showcasing dating and its entirety from trying to get away from dating. But used to bought us right back. I know it's all right. It's on subject for and it's where you are, you know what a lot of people can relate to you. That's one of the main questions people ask, how do you find somebody like, somebody good, somebody nice? Do you think about marriage? Like? Are you

dating with the intention to get married? That's how you find somebody probably is how finding yourself really, and so that's really what I'm focused on. I got a little distracted with that recent date and then I was like, well, let me see what else is out here? But I think I'm gonna pull back into like myself and just kind of like change my number and just focus on more beautiful books on trauma and just focus on me. I got a great one for you, momenticum my grandmother's hands. Really. Yeah,

we also have a marian I'm bothered booking here? Wow? Is that about traumas? Oh? Wow, look so adorable? Okay? Oh no, no, to get the book back. No singers, no singers, no rappers. What about ball players? You said earlier? Oh, if he played basketball, he doesn't mention that. Maybe a soccer player? Is that? Where the money? That money yet? Real money yet? Soccer? Okay, I'm just saying we have intentions, that's all. Did you finish your thought on the intentions

of this album? The intention of the album is just making beautiful music that sounds like I'm in love based on crushes of people I've never even hung out with before, like mean mug and hoodie crushes on fine men that I never even on that one, and it gets to blocking you towards the end, it gets the blocking you And That's where I'm at right now with it, like

in real life. But yeah, it's just dating and the emotions, and towards the end of the album, I'm definitely more about like, Okay, it's time to protect my peace, Like no one's gonna do that for me. And I find it irresponsible to be moving around in life with all of these unhealed you know, traumas and trying to you know, get to know people. So I just, you know, I want to check some things, some codependency things and anxiety. Things that people fast about. Black people fast if they

ignore you, just black room. I do. Like one time, I felt that there was distance happening, and I was like, hey, can we talk. I feel like something is changing. He was like, I thought we were good. I thought everything was good. Um, you know what, I just need to get something to eat. I'm gonna call you right back. And so I got on the phone my dad and me and my dad talked for like two hours wars and I didn't hear from the guy and I'm looking at my phone like wow, like and so I blocked him.

After that that was in We spoke one time since then. I'm sure for some reason, I'm attracting avoidant people who don't know how to communicate well. Well, you're probably attracting what you are. That's why what you said about you know, healing your own trauma before you get into another situation. It's so important that right there, that's better than money. You know how we are you know about to say, you know how we always say you need a man

with money, but did you you know? You know, but you really want a man that is doing the work like you're doing the work every I got so many home girls say I can't date a man if they're not in therapy, they're not trying to heal. Wow, that's what I would want for myself, a secure individual and or someone who was striving to be secure and healing as well as I am healing and trying to heal.

I wanted to ask you, what did you think, because you know you are one of the leaders of this new R and B era, what did you think of did these comments that R and B is dead? I thought it was dismissive to all of the amazing legendary artists that have been in the game and that are also contributing. I mean, from Mary J. Bloige to Jasmine Sullivan to Summer Walker to elm to Money Long Van

Jesse Lucky Day, Lucky Day, Aaron Ray. There's so many of us t Nariel, Brent Faiz, Jalen, Jossi her Her Yes, yes, let's you know, Jill Scott Sissa, like everyone is still killing it and dropping music. And it was dismissive just because I don't know. Yeah, Tank exactly amazing. Yeah, I don't know why he said that it was not nice, but I do love all that he's contributed to music. So it's no shade, but it's like bee more nice to the people that are really you know, we're out

here still like stop it. Often wonder when you was young trying to get on, what did you think the industry would be like? And what have you realized? You know it really is. But I think it was gonna be like I don't remember. I just knew. I just I saw baw Waw up there and Joe Joe, and I just wanted to be like them, like when I was young, Um, what did I think? I don't know what I thought, Like maybe I thought there was gonna be like a lot of like devil people illuminatis. I

haven't yet to see that. I thought there would be a lot of cocaine. Yet I've yet to see the runs. I've never seen it before, never sacrifice a family member or something. I don't want to think I've never seen before either. No, yeah, exactly, I've been offered it, but I've never seen it. It was never been offered, I don't believe or I offered it twice in my life, but they didn't like have it in their hand. Wow, they were like deep party, Yeah, then I have been

offered it before. Then, well yeah in the bathroom. Yes, that's what that meant. Oh my god, you've been offered cocaine. I have been offered cocaine. Say all your friends are in the loom. We do appreciate you, We appreciate your music. And you know, I was kind of hurt when you said you don't want to do interviews anymore. I was like, don't let one bad interaction with somebody mess up somebody else, you know. And I'm glad you're over that, and I'm

glad you're doing interviews again. Thank you. I want people to understand that was just a part of my anxious nature of like what I met earlier, when I was just like nobody cares. I kind of worst case scenario and jumped to like the extreme. I'm kind of black and white with things, especially Yeah, and I definitely didn't mean that. I was just so heartbroken by the fact that he would release something that we didn't agree on him releasing, and I just kind of felt ambushed, you know. So, Yeah,

get into a record off the album. What you want to hear? Oh? I guess boy bye, because that's the real sexy record. I love this Lucky Days awesome. I can't wait to see you on TV and movies too. I see that in your future as well. That's so sweet. And we need to get with Sean de Rymes and do this mini series how to Get Away with Rapping? Oh my god, struggle rapping, brilliant little thrillers. Yes, we are athletics. Thank you for joining us. It wasn't that bad.

It was beautiful, this energy. Wow. And we prayed before we came. Are you talking? Why are you talking? Yes? Why do you talk so much? Because I love you? I do the piece. No, not the day you talk too much? You guys? This about about? Don't we prayed together as a family. What are you talking about? God? We said an intention before the interview. That's what we did radio felt that they don't ever date a radio personality. I promise, okay almost, I won't. Really, that's all. No more.

You can't do that. That's payola playing at breakfast club. Your morning's will never be the same. When it's time to get with someone special, the best way to do it is with Magnum large size condoms. That gold foil wrapper is a badge of honor, and it means you're protected and you take care of things with comfort. Accept no substitutes. Bring the pleasure with the gold standard Magnum large size condom. I was born to donkey. It's the donkey,

don't get that's devil. I'm gonna make this quick. It's just reinforcing a point. Donc gives the Dave goes to every single individual who got a fraudulent PPP loan. Because if you haven't heard, President Biden signed the bill aimed at helping crack down on pandemic relief fund. Oh what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive. All right, there's not one single solitary human I know with good sense who participated in p PPP fraud. Why because we all knew it was too good to be true.

We all knew there was only one place fake LLC Twitter was gonna end up, and that's in PPP prison. Okay, PPP period. And that's why a couple of days ago President Joe Biden signed the PAD bills to assist prosecutors cracked down on pandemic relief funds. Let's listen to what he had to say. And today I'm shigning two bipartisan bills and will give the federal local prosecutors more time to hold criminals accountable for the fraud and American people

during the once in a century pandemic. American people deserve to know was that their tax dollars or being spent as in ten. My message to those cheats out there is this, you can't hide. I'm going to find you. We're gonna make you payback or you stolen, and hold you accountable under the law. I'm going to sign them in the law. That's true for another piece of my economic plan, the belief and the United States of America. There's nothing beyond our capacity. Nothing when we work together

as the United States of America. That's just these bills represent y'all know, President Biden, love locking black people up, and y'all just helped them. See, I'm not wishing jail on nobody. I just understand it the consequences to all our actions. And for some reason in this era, people have forgotten that. All right, folks want to do whatever it is they want to do and then get mad when they don't get away with it. It's unreal to me.

The mindset is crazy, okay. And these bills that Biden signed will extend the Statute of Limitations for prosecuting cases of fraud against the government for ten years, so for the next decade. If you did a fraudulent p P piece camp, you better act like you were rapper from Atlanta who's been warned by the DA that more ricos are on the way over the next sixty days. By the way, she said that three weeks ago, so y'all

got about three or four more weeks left. But I just want to know what made y'all think y'all could get away with this fraudulent PPP loan scam in the first place. Some of y'all never owned a business, never ran a business, nothing, But all of a sudden, you're creating these fake LLC's lying about the number of employees you have, about the profits you made. We told y'all this was gonna lead to you going to PPP prison, and you did it anyway. Okay, I don't feel sorry

for y'all. Okay, I feel sorry for all the small businesses, all the small black businesses who couldn't get any PPP money, who wanted to relief, who needed to relieve, and for whatever reason, couldn't get it. But all of y'all out there with fake LLCs like Deally Nuts LLC and Beef King LLC and Rita Week Club LLC. What you'd like to know who those people were. Those were actual businesses who claimed to be farms. But just what these farms? And I got farms in air quotes? Guess what? These

farms were located in beach towns in New Jersey. Okay, hundreds of PPP loans went to fake farms and places where there is no damn farms. All right. There was an online lending platform called Cabbage that sent three hundred and seventy eight pandemic loans worth seven million dollars to fake companies, mostly farms. Meanwhile, real farms couldn't get this kind of relief This is what makes me feel like

all of this was a set up. Okay, how are so many legitimate businesses ignored couldn't get the relief they needed? But all these fake LLCs weren't. For all you YouTube conspiracy theorists out there, this is a conspiracy you can run with because they killed two birds with one stone. In this case, they killed two niggas with one loan. Okay, because if you're a small black and brown business who couldn't get a PPP loan, you probably ended up ultimately

losing your business. So they killed black and brown businesses. And if you're a black or brown person who got a fake LLC, now you go into prison. And I don't even have to tell you how incarceration kills families. So therefore, this was the ultimate trap. Okay, you killed two niggas with one loan. It was clearly a trap, and y'all fell for it. I don't feel remorse for any of you, Okay. PPP was intended to help businesses make payroll during the pandemic, with those loans being forgiven

if companies met specific criteria. Okay. It was for small businesses to stay afloat, not for you niggas, the ball out on boats. Okay, I don't feel sorry for any of y'all, and I am sick of folks acting like there's not consequences to their actions. All right. We see people doing things that are going to lead them to jail. We tell them they're going to jail. We can clearly see what the consequences of what they are doing is gonna be. We warn them, they do it, they get busted,

and now we feel sorry for them. No, not Lenard, not Uncle Shlah. Okay, y'all deserve to be afraid, all right, very afraid over the next decade. You made a choice. And I hope those crab legs and scrimps and all that cast and meagles was worth it. Please give everyone who got a fraudulent PPP loan the biggest he hull. Just my thoughts, just the way I'm feeling. At the time. It was a pandemic, you know what I'm saying. People was getting them banned. So I guess it's over now

it's been over. Oh it was over two years. About to be a jail demic. It's gonna be a jailed demic, you hear me. We told y'all this was gonna happen. We live. You go back and you listen to the Breakfast Club during Kobe, we told you p P P was gonna lead the p P prison. Okay, we saw what this was going. Y'all didn't listen. Hey, now you got a decade to watch. You back, all right? The Breakfast Club Dank morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,

Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests joining us, Alexandrea from The Poorman's Podcast. Welcome, Hi, Thank y'all for having us difficulty, but we got it together. How y're feeling this morning? We're feeling good. Let's start from the beginning. How you get this podcast started? How did y'all meet? Now, Oh, Claude, we was drinking and

real making money. It was called prime Time. It wasn't Houston, but it wasn't open at long No, it was like it was DC, the guy that used to own be Live. So they were trying to like a starlets in like starlets whack with the ya ya y'all weld have drinking, chilling and what made y'all meeting and Lincoln connect? Because usually girls when they meet, they don't really connect. Y'a connected over y'all baby heads. I don't say something about it because we was laying them down this morning. We

don't like we gonna light them edgy. No. But I think the reason we connected was because like she didn't know how to make drinks at all, and real bart I would, but she was a good talker, like she was finessing it because I was making the drinks, and that we were like making a lot of money to oh, like the first night that we worked together, because when we were actually working together for a few months before,

we actually talked. And then one night this guy came to the club and he was talking to me, and I'm like, he's talking about girl he went along island. I don't know how to make that. I mean he was asking for anything. He was like, man, yeah, like

I know how to make it. He the see and cold, and so I think we made like four thousand dollars damn yeah, and we're splitting like I'm trying to figure out what well it was just because like I think a lot of it is he was just so impressed that she could actually make a drink, But it was really me making drinks like you know, so we just kind of got I was like, Okay, this is what we're gonna do. Yeah, you're gonna take all these I'm gonna make the drinks. Just let me know what you need.

And it was like the service was fast because we was working together. But they didn't know that. That's what made y'all start the podcast? How did y'all start? What was that decision? You? Like people whenever where around people, they always be like y'all so crazy and y'all so funny, like y'all need y'all own show. Y'all need to people need to see this because we really are like these off camera too. But I feel like too, like you know how when people say that, everybody feel like, yeah,

they have a good conversation. I need a podcast. Oh they've have a good time. God girl, we need to reality. Yes, right, that's not what God got planning. But it's a little different because I mean we wouldn't even be doing We would just be sitting on the couch at somebody house people like man like it was every time, I mean, no matter where we went, and we're in front of strangers, people who knew it. It was like Okay, well, let's

like start a YouTube channel. We never thought that we were going to get into podcasts because her ex gave her the idea to start the YouTube. H because we used to do like a little show called wind Out on Wednesday before we switched it over the Poor Mine, and we got that idea from him. And then one of her friends was already a podcaster and she was like, y'all need to turn it into a podcast because y'all can make away more money and monetize this. When we

switched the name to Poor Mine, who was your friend Candy? Okay, and who was your ex? Nobody? Cool? It ain't no, it ain't no. Our listeners are very very knowledgy, so as soon as I name they're gonna be like I say it, but so somebody people know? Um people yeah, used the people that no, people don't know DM me Homi, I'm gonna give you. Don't say that like what's up? What's up? That's worth and the work brothers said, brother, he must be terrible to be terrible. Good. No, he's

not a terrible person. I feel like, you know, a terrible rapple. Oh my god, Okay, let me say this honestly, he can write. He got some good lyrics. I feel like the it's difference between making good music being like a lyricist like he has. He can write all day. Raps are good songs, not so much. But you never know, No, you you're gonna be like this is ass what was you thinking? So for people that doing the podcast, what

are y'all talking about? And discussing the podcast? We talk about everything, I think of what A lot of talk about dating, we talk about six we talk about music. I mean, we really just be navigating through life. I think that that's one of the great things about our podcasts that you can see the growth, like because we keep up all of the old contents, so you could look back from four years ago and really just see

us grow. We see the evolution of the conversations. At one point we just talk about yeah, like men with money and that I think a lot of times people have the podcasts all wrong, you know, like because all of the clips that happen to go viral be us talking about men with money or you know, dating and trying to figure out, you know, how to get this.

But I feel like our podcast is really about like celebrating women and what we deserve and you know, having higher standards and getting that confidence that you never had, and you know how we can talk about music and just showing us in a different light because of course when people look at us saying, you know, we're sexy, we like to be batties, but it's so much more

than that to us, you know. So I feel like that's who the podcast is for, because we like to say, you know, traditionally, like batties don't listen to podcasts, you know, they just be outside. So we feel like this is a lane for the batties, find a bat for those who may not know what I mean. I definitely feel like, you know, you have to look the part, but that secondary. I feel like it's more of a mindset thing. You know,

you can't be musty and bad. To me, like a baddie is somebody who like they're confident first of all, like they walk in a room, it doesn't matter you know how other people view them. They know how they view themselves. And I feel like that's with us, Like we don't care what clip goes viral or what y'all thing. Y'all can be like hot, these birds get on breakfast club because it's gonna be a lot of people saying

that I don't care, you know what I'm saying. So I feel like it's just like a confidence thing, you know. And like I said, we cannot act like. It's not the looks thing too, Like that's what you gotta be. But it feel like you gotta be a nice person, Like I feel like you can't be a baddy and be mean. Yeah, like I mean, we don't like mean girls. Girls just be mean. It's helping out reasoning. What if you nice, confident and musty, you're not a bad musty?

People be coming around like you're You're not. We got more with the ladies from Poor Minds r Lex Andrea, So don't move, It's to Breakfast Club. Co morning. Everybody is t j Envy, Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Lex Andrea from the Poor Mind's podcast. So y'all say, y'all diding, No, y'all didating. I'm thinking right now? Yeah, relationships right right, M.

I actually just got out of a situation. So suation relationship because it's like it's been complicated, it's been a very long time of a lot of back and forth. But you know, I'm single now, So what made you finally break up? He went back this way, not this one week. But no, I'm still like, I'm at a different point in my life. You know, I've had a lot of changes, a lot of things going on. I just feel like we're in two different places. It ain't no bad blood, Like I still got love for him,

you know, it ain't. No. I'm not a girl that like, oh I hate him and I'm gonna talk down on him. I've never been break up. What was the situation with finally say it was over? I mean a lot of stress in our relationship, Like, no, not that. I mean I'm busy. I travel a lot. You know, he has a lot going on. That problem batty life right now, So I gotta do. Do men get jealous because they see y'all, you know, starting to grow in this space.

I don't know. I haven't really witnessed jealousy so much, but I think that it's weird because a lot of guys that I used to talk to be trying to like come back to me, and they be trying to do like extravagant things. So it's all mexing me now, And I think that's very strange because it's like, what made you have such a slitting and change of heart. I like a sudden change of heart. I don't like with you like I mean, but still like I'm gonna

tasting it, but still to leave me alone. Right, facts we always take together expensive as it was a while back. But he put that helped me get a car off my car. I got a Dodge Challenger, so you know, and then I got I got him to pay off my car. I wat it, I'm pocketing that money and did something else. No, it's I used to be a responsible batty in the streets, you know, like you get money from a man, girls just buying bags and shoes. I was the one, like, let me pay my bill?

About you most expensive gift? How about me a Range Rover? Last year new bills payment like ninety thou Yeah, I don't care. They should have paid for the student loans. You can sell it. You can't be my X after I pay your student loans off. You can't just walk away from me after that where you brought up student loans like he she can progress in life. Now, Wait a minute, how do you come with him? Yeah, loan, I just walk from a man after that was two

different guys. Okay, well how do you listening for both of you? How do you just walk away from a man who paid your student loans? If he talks right, he's long away. But honestly, I feel like that's what we talk about on the show a lot. I feel like a lot of young women they out here like chasing these guys with money and then they have no

like end goal. And I'm not saying, you know, use people, That's not what I'm saying, but I feel like in certain situations, I mean in certain situations, so like we know what it is, Like, let's not be dumb. These men want sex, you know, and women want money whatever. So if you're young and doing that, at least be smart about it. So that's what we try to tell people. At least be smart, Like don't be out here trying to keep up with her and buying Rick Owens, buying product,

going doing all this. So for us, like when you're dealing with the man and he put you I'm not saying that, but like I just mean as far as like when you're dealing with a guy who buys you a bag, you'll leave? So why can't I deal with a guy who pay off my student loans and live before? But Michael cards don't count. Michael, course, I might have to take away your bad he calls. Years ago. I ain't had no been as minor that bad. Yea, it used to be popping. I remember I had a Michael

Cords White. How do you break up? How you break up with somebody that brought your rangel? How's it over together? Tell them the wim me though? What's the wind? You know? But I didn't have sex with him? I said absolutely, just said he was a guy. Yeah, he was a guy, and you never let him smell it. No hams, no break this down? So what happened? He just hate babe, I want to buy your rain. So I met him through one of my other friends, and so I guess

he wanted to talk to me. We had hung out a few times, and all of a sudden he just started texting her and he was like, I want to buy Drey another car. Yeah, And so she was like of course, she was like hell, yeah, I don't here buy it. So then she was texting me and she was like, oh, what kind of cars. He was like. So I was like, okay, I either want a Jelly Coop or I want a rain Drover, and he was like, okay, I'm gonna get it. And then he started texting Legs

saying the same thing. He was like, yeah, I just gonna want to get drag another car because I still have my other car too that I had before he bought me to Range Rover, and so he tried to buy one and then he didn't go through something happy, and then something happened he couldn't get it. Then we got into it. A few weeks later. I blocked him and stuff, and then all of a sudden he just popped up with this white Range drugger. He finally stole

somebody credit card that work. Yeah, probably happened. He didn't try. He didn't try to have sex with you, Smash nothing. Of course he did. But I just wasn't interesting because he was corny, because even I knew he was doing it because he wanted like recognition, because even when he told me that he got the car, he was hitting her up in my friend He was like, oh, yeah, I want to take all of y'all to eat, and

I'm an hire a videoographer. It was just weird. That's that's why I said the finesse came in because I was definitely helping. I'm like, yeah, she cares about you, bro get the call, and then she needed the call, and then I ended up out. He was going around telling people in Atlanta that he had sex with me, and he never had sex with me, so I was like, I knew he was corning somebody behind it. So he

was like nobody here Roman slide. You supposed to let a rumor slid when somebody said a hand sex, you're a call. So I didn't. That's in jail right now. Yeah, p scam. He enough for something. But that's what happened when you're not a nice person. Wow, man bought you a call. But you know that's a good point because I always say, just because somebody does something good for you doesn't mean they're good for you. And you don't mean heior motives, you know, like that wasn't coming from

his heart. So you got played. But you said earlier that men and women know what it is. Women want money and men want sex, So is that really an Ontario motive? I mean, but it was more than that though. It wasn't just a sex for him. Like I said, he wanted to recogn it like he wants to be. He wanted to date her, but not because it was like he really liked her. Like he was ugly. He kind of looked like a lesbian. Yeah, he's one of them.

He looked like, yeah, he's given the kind of like if you saw him, you because he was very femininely, like if you saw dram with it, you'd be like, damn, i't know, asked me vibes. He was definitely like because and then he tried to be my bestie, so I was he would be texting her. It was so weird. He was like yeah, he was like, I gotta get

he texts you one time. What he said, I got, I gotta get dread this car because she said she gonna what I could to Christie like I said, I was gonna give him yeah, and she didn't, but I said that she was he said she was. I love it. Now. We live for each other all the time, Like two months ago about what we just be lying for each other. I can't even remember. It'd be like small small things, We'll just give each other that look and I'd be like, oh, I gotta lie. We got more with the ladies from

Poor Minds I lex Andrea, so don't oof. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club were still kicking it with lex Andrea from the Poor Mind's podcast, Charlemagne, lex, I heard you said that women cheat better than me. I absolutely believe it because black men don't cheat. So of course y'all would be black black men that is. I'm a black man. I got a mirror. Black boys cheat. Men don't cheat. You know

it goes. I feel like women cheat batter I'm not eating on huh a black boy. I don't even know if he was black. Okay, maybe I'm putting up the ladies on blasts right now, but I feel like we're just a little more smooth and sneaky with it. We don't a smarter. Yes, women are smarter, like gods will be out with another girl and letting her post stand corn and other people that have seen it, like guys are just sloppy. Yeah. I'm not saying that I've done this before, but it's like if I'm want by man.

I see a guy like my little side, what's up? Bro? I see? Yeah, that was my personality. So feel like Alex, you don't she got a lot you know that little what if that? What if my boy blow you up right then? And he not? But he not because when you when you cold with people, and it ain't that they know how to act. Be cheated on before both of y'all, yeah, deserve what you mean. I don't say that. I did not say that, y'all fund out. I have good investigation skills. I've had people tell me teens I

said this all the time. I don't know why people like fly I I got to say, pain, Look, you never got caught cheating lex ever. I never. I only cheat it one time though. It was like way back in college, who cheating on your boyfriend? Hoods X was weag okay, that's the reason reason. And then we were into different CDs. Okay, that's another way school and he was stealing Houston d HM. He never know about this. He probably broke that boy had he never knew, No,

never know now before No, not him. It was somebody else. They cheated on me. But I found out because I went through his phone and that was the last time I ever got through because I lost team. She really did. Yes, I was straight lost the ass and everything. He was just talking to a whole bunch of girls I on Instagram telling him you was a savage. Yeah, why I was a savage before. The thing for me like when I cheat, if you don't tell me you love me,

I'm going to cheat. You said, what if you don't say I love you, don't tell me good morning, I'm going to cheat. Les cheated out. She's like a certified love like a Grand Rising Queen. I'm going to cheat. If you say grand Rising, I'm going why she fine version of good Morning, Grand Rising Queens, Grand Rising Queen. Oh hell no, I already know you're about to be on some bull I don't want to hear that. The damn Now, let's talk about flute out. The flute outcomes.

Somebody flies you out? What are you giving them back? Are you expecting? Not a damn thing? You got a range rover and ain't give them the batty No batty, no uncle batty my new name from not one. I want y'all to stamp it. Don't call me nothing else. Okay, but now, honestly, I used to be like they like, I used to like go on trips with people and knew that I wasn't gonna have six with them. Now if I tell them up front of you, no, I would just go and enjoy myself and be like, you

have a line to my period? Yeah? I have. I actually put a sandplonny on one song. But what about what the man said, I don't care a period, don't stop nothing but the sentence? Then what to be like? I want to do that. I don't want to smell like pennies in here. I've got lived places before. I don't nowhere off the country right right, But like I got left in Miami one time, God flew you out. Yeah, he actually lived here on your period. And well I

didn't tell him I was on my period. I just stried up tallow him, like I didn't want to have sex with him. But he was mad because he had bought me some shoes. What kind of shoes? Lu, And you walked right out of his life the hotel. Yeah, he left me. He didn't book my RESTIRN flight and this was all. I was still living in Houston. I hadn't moved to l Did you have the money to get back. Yeah, I did. I did, But like what if I did though, this is why I don't date

outside my race because he was a white man. White. I ain't mad at you. Shouldn't have get that white man. Nothing. I ain't mad at you. They're on tour right now. You can see that Arlington, Virginia on the eighteenth to September, y Richmond at twenty, Tampa, October fourth, October fifth, Miami, and October six, or Land. Y'all just did New York. I was the New York show. It was Ergie was really really good. Yeah. In New York. I feel like New York is kind of a different market. It's kind

of hard. Yeah, because we country obviously, y'all can tell when we come like to New York. People be like, what these country bumpkins, but with all their families from down south. Yeah, y'all don't. Y'all don't have no other jobs. This is it, this is it. I finally was able to quit my job like we want to. Last year, yeah, it was last year. Wasn't last year? Yeah, So for me, it was like I moved to Atlanta literally with nothing,

you know. I was trying to figure things out. And it was really it was like a really really hard time for me. Like the thing that I love about poor minds. And that's why we keep the old videos up. Like we joke about it, like how my hair used to love our makeup because like I mean, I didn't have any money. It was what I could do at

the time. But we keep those old videos up so people can see the growth, you know, and they can see what consists and see and when you really believe in yourself, can't get you because I feel like we've only just scratched the surface of what we're gonna do, you know. So yeah, I feel I haven't had a job in like four years. Really was the last jobs the bar team, Okay, but that was like you but I haven't did this since like twenty eighteen, so I had like a nine to five. I wasn't even ready

to quit my job. They kind of like gave me a ultimatum, was like, Okay, either you're gonna be here or be there. And I was like, you know what, I was like, girl, gone hand and quit. We gonna figure it out. So it was like I just quit and we figured it out. Well. I find y'all very entertaining, and I thank you. I think it was lady that just need to be on TV and I can't. Oh, I don't wanted to ask you about the Division video. Y'all was in the Division video. Division video. That was fun.

It was really fun. I think that's really how we be in real life, Like and Raya calling me me giving her bad and like me and a bad man was cool. The video was fun. Yeah, there really because I didn't even hear the song until he came out. Really, you didn't know what they didn't have a song playing when y'all doing the video. No, I want to ask this question for the white men and the Asian men and the black girling. Black men, don't cheatse on masks

up for them. It's cheating a deal breaker in the space I'm in, I think it would be, Yeah, the space of a cheating you a Cheatah, So you can't be judgmental and it not like that, but I feel like it's a way too. No, I just feel like, you know, we have to live out our lives online. A lot of times, cheating is something hard to go through. So having to go through that under a magnifying glass in front of everybody, I don't think I would be ready for that. You know, so you can cheat, but

you can't let somebody absolutely it's rules. Maybe it's not a deal breaker because the way I look at it, he's like, Okay, is this a I missed up one time thing or crazy? This like this is what you do. But it's like, that's the difference. Though, you're cheating one night, but you pay at her rent money? Oh you burke? You like the girl like you paying her rent? You got her money, you given her money because I buy a woman of burking. I mean I like him. Excuse me,

you received the range er over he didn't like that? Man, go ahead, bade it. I didn't buy it. Same difference, just the same difference. So yeah, I think honestly, but like she's saying, I kind of agree, you know it levels of cheating honestly, Like the emotional cheating is way worse. So what if you sleep with a man right and the condom gets stuck in you? Then you go sleep with the guy you really like and they find would

you want him to forgive you that? If you got you gotta said that same paper down now, because why is it grabbing anything like that? Are you talking about man if y'all ain't got that grip man at y'all age something right now you need I'm weak. No, but situations like that, it ain't like that. Like I said, I'm not I'd be being funny, of course, But like I said, I've had situations where I'm stuff. I slipped up. It's not like something I do all the time, and

I'm just you know every time. No, I don't honestly. But okay, I'll say this honestly, but I'm being honest, but I feel like women don't be honest. I can't. I feel like this last situation I got out of, No, I wasn't. I was very faithful because, like I said, I wanted a certain outcome, you know, So I was like, you know what, let me give one hundred percent of myself, but I'm not gonna lie. When I first moved to Atlanta,

I got in a relationship. This was what twenty seventeen, and I was with somebody who, you know, who was kind of known, and it was just like I just kind of had checked out. But that was my comfort zone. So it was just kind of like I was just in a weird space, you know, and like I said I was young, I'm thirty three. Now I'm like, I'm out, I'm out the game. I'm retired, I'm t is tired. I really don't want two three like men like I

don't want to do that. So you know, I'm not proud of my past, but I'm growing every day now. I'm an untouched cooling right now at the poor underscore minds.
