  • Lil Kim: “She wanted to be the only female out there.” (06:02)
• Charlamagne and Angela acknowledge Nicki's iconic career, lamenting how her influence has turned negative:
  • “She was indeed the pink print for female MCs...But how does the pink print become the stink print?...You went from showing a generation how to be a female boss to showing a generation how to be a disgruntled artist.” (06:14–07:20)
• Analysis of Nicki's projection of pain:
  • Charlamagne observes, “That’s what happens when a person is in pain…when a person has a bunch of unhealed trauma that they haven’t dealt with.” (07:20)
  • Notes on accusations of witchcraft:
    • Charlamagne: “Do you cash app your root doctor or does she take Zelle?” (09:10)

[Charlamagne tha God]

In early 1988, federal agents raced to track down the gang they suspect of importing millions of dollars worth of heroin into New York from Asia.

[Angela Yee]

Had 30 agen ready to go with shotguns and rifles and you name it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Five, six white people pushed me in the car. I'm going, what the hell?

[Angela Yee]

Basically your stay at home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. All you gotta do is receive the package. Don't have to open it, just accept it. She was very upset, crying once I saw the gun, I tried to take his hand and I saw the flash of light.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Listen to the Chinatown sting on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or anywhere you get your podcasts.

[Angela Yee]

I just wanted to Know how you came up with the donkey of the dick?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Because you're mean.

[Angela Yee]

I am not. There's a bunch of donkeys out here in the street. That is why, Charlemagne, if we live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we may have seen, we never would say it, you don't give a damn. Don't throw it up. Hey, give it to him on the Breakfast Club. In the words of Charlemagne, the God, he's a donkey. Oh, man, Charlemagne, you've given donkey today to who now? Well, Busta Rhymes, donkey of the day for Thursday, October 2 goes to Anika Tanya, Mirage, Petty, heavy on the Petty. Now, yesterday, Nicki Minaj did what she does best lately and that's going to unhinged rant about everything and everybody. Okay, if you missed it, I understand it's more important things going on in the world, including but not limited to a government shutdown. And it started at least on our end because yesterday on Breakfast Club, we responded to Nikki's Tuesday on Hinge Drant about Cardi B. And this is what we said.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Nikki just seemed miserable. Like, I'm sorry, that gut punch right there.

[Angela Yee]

I. I respect Nikki as an artist, but when I read her tweets and she starts trying to label people good and evil, it really makes me think of Isaiah 5:20. Isaiah 5:20 says, Woe to those who call evil good and good evil. Who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Because if she believes that, she comes off as a peaceful, loving, God fearing human. She's bugging like you literally feel the darkness from her tweets. And honestly, that's why you shouldn't even engage with her. Because when you match that kind of energy, you come off looking dark too. Nikki has all those accolades, all that success, and still manages to come off as miserable. Like, how do you beef with everybody? Lil Kim, Remy Ma, Cardi, Megan, Thee, Stallion Lotto, Mariah Carey. Like, that's not a pink print, that's a stink print, okay? Nikki energy just comes off as nasty and stink. That's what y' all should be called. It's a stink print. Like, that's disgusting. I thought that was fair commentary, but Nicki Minaj thought Otherwise. Now, Lauren LaRosa, LL Cool Bay, read what she tweeted about the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She said Charlemagne. Did you put that bleaching cream on your penis too?

[Angela Yee]

Did you?

[Charlamagne tha God]

She then tagged the President of the United States and asked him to lock us all up. Imagine if you called yourself Shrump the God. Oh, and then she called you the B word.

[Angela Yee]

Lock up.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Born Lauren and Jess with the test to coals.

[Angela Yee]

Thank you.

[Charlamagne tha God]

They're very nasty people. Queens N words. Run these N words. Thank you.

[Angela Yee]

Salute. Not Maga Minaj calling on Trump to get us locked up. And using some of the language that Trump used against me when President Trump said, can anyone imagine the uproar there would be if I use that nickname? Come on, Nikki. Now, didn't she have a tweet about Democrats too? What was that tweet, Lauren?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, she said, democrats, take them down. You're the all powerful Democrats. Remember, they lost the election on purpose. Take them down. They're a curse. Take them down. I heard the Lord say it is done. Okay, Lord, thank you. We give you the honor, the glory and the praise, Jesus.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, I'm not a Democrat or Republican, but, you know, she's probably mad at Democrats because Kamala Harris had Megan the Stallion and Glorilla perform for her at campaign events and she had Cardi B speak for her at a campaign rally. So anyone who dares to uplift any other female rapper that's not Nicki Minaj is going to be on Nicki's hit list. Why? Well, little Kim told us why here on the Breakfast Club 13 years ago. Let's listen her.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She wanted to be the only female out there because I already wanted to be out there by herself.

[Angela Yee]

I'm gonna leave this on this note.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You will see everything in the dark comes to the light. That's all I gotta say.

[Angela Yee]

Dropping a clues box for Lil Kim Kim, in typical cancer fashion, you were right. My sincere apologies to Lil Kim. Forever questioning her OG wisdom. Okay, Nicki has had smoke for Kim, Cardi, Megan, Thee, Stallion, Lotto, Doja, Cat Sza, Remy Ma. The list goes on and on. And it's sad because Nikki is goaded. She's an icon living. She literally kicked down the doors for a whole new generation of female rappers. She was indeed the pink print for female MCs. I loved when she coined that term years ago. I'm not the blueprint. That's for the boys. I'm the pink print for the girls. But how does the pink print become the stink print? Yes, the stink print. Because as I said, your energy is just stank and nasty. You went from showing a generation how to be a female boss to showing a generation how to be a disgruntled artist. How does that happen? How do you go from inspiring a generation of young women to hating on a generation of young women? Well, that's what happens when a person is in pain. That's what happens when a person is hurting. That's what happens when a person has a bunch of unhealed trauma that they haven't dealt with. I saw something yesterday that I found extremely entertaining, okay? But then I was extremely disturbed and it put everything in perspective for me, okay? There was a headline on Baller Alert and I can't even believe Baller Alert posted something so unserious, but I'm glad they did, okay? Because it said that Nicki Minaj was sent proof of witchcraft attacks. It accused the Breakfast Club of orchestrating them, okay? The tweet said the Breakfast Club was the main platform. Partnered with Michael Kaiser of Atlantic Records orchestrating a direct Nicki Minaj takedown campaign for years with See the Devil. All because Nicki wouldn't work with us. They used witchcraft and told deliberate lies. Allegedly. Nicki Minaj was sent proof of text messages ordering thousands of dollars of witchcraft on her, okay? On her career and personal life. And after it was done, it said that her brother went to jail, her dad, God bless the dead, was killed. She was blackballed, and her husband's relationship with his 16 year old girlfriend that he was wrongly accused of raping resurfaced. Imma stop there because I don't even know what to do with that level of low vibrational nonsense. Okay? First of all, dropping the clues bombs for my guy, Michael Kaiser. That's a great dude. You know Michael Kaiser? Yeah. Salute to Kaiser. Michael Kaiser has always treated me with respect. Way before there was a Breakfast Club, when I was unemployed, getting fired from radio stations, Kaiser never treated me any different. In fact, he made calls for me to try to get me back on the radio. I appreciate people like Michael Kaiser. That's one of the OGs right there. Drop another clues bomb for Michael. I'm saying all that to say I've had a lot of conversations with Michael Kaiser in my life and guess what? None of them have been about. Nicki Minaj are using witchcraft against Nicki Minaj. Okay? Do you cash app your root doctor or does she take Zell? All right, the other thing I was thinking about, when was Nicki blackballed? When did Nicki Minaj ever fall off? Nicki, do you understand that you are at a bar for female rappers? Do you understand that you are a rap icon? When have you not sold records? When have your tours not been packed? See, you believe when you see other female rappers coming up around you that it somehow repositions you Nicki Minaj. That is a level of internal insecurity that only you can deal with. You have to look in the mirror and quote Dr. Seuss. You have to say, today you are you. That is truer than true. There is no one alike five who is you were than you. And don't put that in the rap because it's gonna sound like Safari wrote it. Now. You are her, Nikki, okay? And it's saddening all of us to see that you don't believe that, that you don't realize that. And the reason you don't realize that is because you are in pain. Nikki has had all these personal issues happen around her and she's blaming the world for what she's feeling because of those issues. The industry has nothing to do with that, Nikki. None of the female rappers, not Atlantic Records, not the Breakfast Club, none of this has to do with the industry. You are refusing to come to terms with life, okay? And refusing to come to terms with human nature. Simply, okay? When you. When you refuse to come to terms with human nature, that simply means that you are dooming yourself to patterns beyond your control and the feelings of confusion and helplessness. And that's what I see in every tweet. Confusion, a cry for help. Projections of pain, a wounded ego, okay? Projections of hurt. And if your ego is hurt, you may become angry, okay? Ego itself is a disease. You have to dissolve your ego as far as possible. If you have inferiority complex or have a very deficient ego, you will lose your temper very easily. And that is what we are dealing with in regards to Nicki Minaj. And we should all truly hope that Nicki heals. I truly hope you heal, Nicki. I pray you find peace. I want you to go to therapy, church, the mosque, wherever you can go to heal because you are in pain. And listen, so many of us are okay to some degree. We are all in pain. And it's a pain we don't discuss or even understand. And oftentimes the source of this pain is other people. Our often disappointing, superficial, unsatisfactory relationships with other people. Ain't no witchcraft caused any of those situations to happen to the people around you, Nikki. The industry didn't do that. It's just life. So you can get on the timeline and massively attack all the people you want, but at the end of the day, I know that it's just a hurt little girl living in that 42 soon to be 43 year old body. And I want that young girl to get the healing she deserves. Because you told us Nikki Starships were meant to fly. So why are you crashing out? Nikki, your trauma is not your fault, but your healing is your responsibility. And I truly, sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, hope you heal. Please let Remy ma give Nicki Minaj the biggest hee haw hee haw, hee haw.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You stupid mother. Are you dumb crazy that we had Remy giving a donkey the venom? It's hilarious.

[Angela Yee]

She about to have for him later on. I chat GPT some names for her too. Charlotte of Mouth. Charmin the God. Okay, yes. Charcuterie Board the guard. Sharp. Royal God. Charlotte Lame. I like Charmin Soft. None of that I just googled is going to help her heal. None of that is going to help her people. So you know what? Invited to the mental health expo. No, none of that is going to help. No, seriously, she needs. She needs some serious help. She needs serious healing. She needs to go deep and find out what her problem is, what the issue is, what what it is. And you know, but like you said, I hope she heals well. That's cute.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's cute.

[Angela Yee]

I'm glad you do. You can numb your ring, get cured all day. I like to drag nuts and I have testicles for that reason. So I'm gonna do that. All right, now what we doing? Testicle. Just with the testicles. All right, up next, 800-585-1051. You could ask Jess with the testes. Whatever you need. If you're having problems.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Jesse with the test.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, Jesse with the testes. That's right. So if you having relationship issues or any type of problems, you can hit Jess with the testes. All right? All right. Boren, Lauren, thank you so much.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Appreciate you.

[Angela Yee]

We'll see you in a little bit. But call Jesse's with the testes right now. 800-585-1051. And yes.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I love you, Lauren.

[Angela Yee]

Cause you know what?

[Charlamagne tha God]

You so classy. All you did was correct your name.

[Angela Yee]

I love you. I can talk about me.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You better make sure you spell my name. You are in is not me.

[Angela Yee]

I love it. And like I said earlier, your head ain't that big.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You don't gotta tell me, baby.

[Angela Yee]

Okay?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Am I right?

[Angela Yee]

All right. Just making sure. All right. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Donkey of the day is sponsored by renowned personal injury attorney Michael the Bull. Lamb and soft. Don't be a donkey when you need a fighter on your side. If you're ever injured, go to Michael the Bull dot com. That's Michael the Bull dot com. And when you mess with the bull, you get the horns.
