Charlamagne Tha God
Whose wig is that, Lawrence?

Charlamagne Tha God
I promise you. Lauren's wig maker made this wig. Remember when she was up here a couple weeks ago?
Lauren LaRosa

Charlamagne Tha God
And she was upset with me cuz I be clowning Lauren's wig. So she made me this little piece.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, she made it for you? Yeah, yeah, she went and bought that. She bought that? Yes, that is. You never seen them type wigs. That's like one of the Tyler Perry wigs.
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn. What if she really made this handcrafted and you saying that.
Lauren LaRosa
Nuh, nuh, nuh, stop. That's like one of the Lorenzo vine wig.
Jess Hilarious
What you supposed to do with it?
Charlamagne Tha God
I tried to put it on earlier. It ain't fit right now. So that's how I feel. Like she really made it.
Lauren LaRosa
No, yo, he's such a clown.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm dead serious. You think I'm joking? Lauren can explain it.
DJ Envy
Well, Lauren said just to clear it up. It's a store bought wig. She said you weren't worth the bundles.
Lauren LaRosa
Exactly.
Charlamagne Tha God
She shouldn't say that. Then she bought it in here and was like, yo, she made this beauty. You read what's in there.
Lauren LaRosa
She made this.
Charlamagne Tha God
So now you putting this on her name for no reason. This stupid ass looking wig. Now I can really talk bad about it. This stupid ass looking wig. That is so look like Mo from the Three Stooges.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh my God.
Charlamagne Tha God

Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, okay. I don't know what Envy just said. That was the Dominican way of saying Ito, you want him to put a Latin artist on all his records? That's what that sounded like to me.

Charlamagne Tha God
I Rock with 30 for 30. I love that record but I'm old enough to feel like rich boy throw some D's about to drop all the time. Every time that song come on all the time.
DJ Envy
All right, well let's get in some front page news. Start off with some Quick sports. The Gators beat the Cougars, the Houston Cougars, in the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship last night to 63. So congratulations to the Florida Gators.
Charlamagne Tha God
Sounds like it was a good game.
DJ Envy
Yeah, very good game.
Charlamagne Tha God
Too bad I don't care about men's college basketball.
DJ Envy
No, very good game. What up, Morgan?
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, y'all.
Just Hilarious
Hey. Yes, that was indeed a good game. And shout out to Florida for the comeback. That was, like, ridiculous. They deserve that.
Morgan
All right, so first up on the.
Just Hilarious
Front page, President Trump won big in the Supreme Court regarding a deportation case and the Alien Enemies Act. But before I get into that, let's talk about the recent visit Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had with President Trump. So Donald Trump says he's the best president for Israel, even with the new tariffs. Speaking with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the president said Israel will always be a close ally, while Netanyahu praise President Trump for his support. Let's take a listen to their bromance, that exchange that they had, the two.
Charlamagne Tha God
Many friends in Israel. They are not in an easy area. It doesn't go easy. But we are helping them. And likewise, they've been helping us. You've been a remarkable friend of the state of Israel.
Jess Hilarious
You stand by us.
Charlamagne Tha God
You're standing with us.
Jess Hilarious
You are a great, great champion of our lives.
Just Hilarious
So Netanyahu said he will start to tear down any trade barriers. Of course, this is a result of President Trump's reciprocal tariffs. You know, he's put those on everybody. It don't matter who you are. So Netanyahu said he will start to tear down any trade barriers between, between the two countries. And he went on to say the country will continue to work with us on trade. Let's take a listen to Netanyahu.
Charlamagne Tha God
We will eliminate the trade deficit with the United States. We intend to do it very quickly.
Jess Hilarious
We think it's the right thing to do. But to also eliminate trade barriers, a.
Charlamagne Tha God
Variety of trade barriers that have been put up unnecessarily. And I think Israel can serve as.
Jess Hilarious
A model for many countries who ought.
Charlamagne Tha God
To do the same.
Just Hilarious
So Trump thanked Netanyahu for the discussion on trade between the US And Israel, adding that, of course, the US he continues to reiterate this. The US has been ripped off for years and we can no longer be the stupid people anymore. So it does appear just a little bit, at least with this particular ally, Israel, that the trade deficit, the tariffs and all of that stuff, they this particular country is coming to the negotiating table regarding that. Now, Netanyahu also Said that he still wants to get the hostages freed from Hamas in Gaza and is working, working with Trump on that. Now Trump says he's communicating directly with Iran, speaking with the Israeli Prime Minister, of course, at the White House. The president said the Iranian backed militia group, they need to disarm immediately or he's hinting at military action. Let's take a listen to Trump regarding that.
Charlamagne Tha God
I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious. And the obvious is not something that I want to be involved with or frankly that Israel wants to be involved.
Jess Hilarious
With if they can avoid it. So we're going to see if we can avoid it.
Just Hilarious
Yeah. So Trump also hinted at military action if a deal is not struck between the two Israel and Iran in regards to the whole situation going on in Gaza. Any thoughts on that, guys? It looks like, in regards to at least our ally, it looks like the trade and the tariffs seem to be working in Trump's favor.
Charlamagne Tha God
I thought Trump didn't want any war. I thought Trump didn't want any, you know, no, no, no fighting going on. I thought he was trying to cease all wars.
Just Hilarious
He, he, he has said that, but he also has said that, you know, basically. Well, he's also threatening that.
DJ Envy
Don't push him, right?
Just Hilarious
Pretty much, yes. Period. All right, well, speaking of military, President Trump reportedly wants to hold a military parade to celebrate his birthday. Multiple reports say the parade will happen through the streets of the Nation's capital on June 14, the president's 79th birthday and the army's 250th anniversary. So the parade will be four long, going from the Pentagon to the White House. And apparently he did want to do this within his first administration, but the, the bill was too high. Something like $9 million or something. $90 million was quoted before, so that's why he couldn't do it during his first term. But yeah, so he is expected to have one this term.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. All these federal jobs lost, the economy is in the toilet, people's 401ks being slashed. Nothing to celebrate right now, my guy.
Just Hilarious
90K.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nothing to celebrate.
DJ Envy
And if he was worried about the 9 million last time, who's gonna take the 9 million dollar bill this time?
Lauren LaRosa
The taxes.
Just Hilarious
I'm sorry, correction. 92 million.
DJ Envy
92 million.
Just Hilarious
92 million dollars.
Charlamagne Tha God
Isn't that wasteful spending? Where Doge at when you need him? Doge can. Well, I guess he does have presidential immunity, so the Doge can intervene in a situation like this. That seemed like wasteful spending to me.
Just Hilarious
But let's take it up to the Supreme Court, maybe, you know, that's what we'll talk about at 7. He had a big win with the Supreme Court, so we'll get into that.
Charlamagne Tha God
You need to have a nice little light party at. For family and close friends, okay? Don't involve our military with that foolishness.
DJ Envy
All right. Well, that is front page news. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the vent, phone lines are wide open. Again, 1-800-585-1051. Call us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

Charlamagne Tha God
There you go. And I think we all got. Not proud of y'all. Proud of y'all brothers for bringing that to King, but we gotta stick together. We gotta show more support for brothers in the industry. Because I think. I'm a chairman, but I think Papoose the president, you know, for black man don't cheat. Would you agree with that? Is Papoose the president for Black Men Don't Cheat. The poster board, you know, for being loyal, faithful, big bad queen. No matter what she signed you. Step back.
Jess Hilarious
Well, they.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, what are you talking about? Are you talking. I mean, they not together no more, him and Remy, he with Clarissa, but.
Lauren LaRosa
He'S saying, like, he never cheated type situation.
Charlamagne Tha God
My thing is, if we. We support Papoose, why do we gotta hear the woman that cheated on him every time we hit dog the other day, you wanna. I don't know. You might. We might. Well, you might well say instead of Doug every day, we might want to call this super head with the spread. I don't know if. I don't know if Remy cheated. I don't know about any of this, you know, loving hip hop. So Barber you talking about right now.
Lauren LaRosa
You saying that you need to get Clarissa Shields to do the donkey of the day thing.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, yeah. Show some respect for their relationship.
DJ Envy
You don't know the ins and outs. It ain't his business.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, here's the biggest thing about being a faithful black man. Mind your business, okay? Worry about you and yours. As long as you not cheating, that's all that matters. Yeah, that's a true statement, too. But I still think, you know, this is. Just the sight of it look crazy, you know, they got everything. Are you stupid? Are you dumb? I mean, are you serious? I don't know anybody else's resume, brother. I really don't know. Yeah. All right, so we ain't gonna start. I just had to get that off my chest, but I appreciate y'all. Y'all keep it up, though, man.

I'll listen to you guys every morning on my way to work.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay, that's sweet. Thank you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you very much.
Toya
So I'm calling getting off my chest. So it's very hard dating in Atlanta. I'm new to the area, so not only do I have to dodge, you know, the undercover, the DL men.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, you smell the doodle.
Lauren LaRosa
That is.
Toya
I have to dodge like the princesses.
Charlamagne Tha God
The studs, you know, the men that.
Toya
Want you to run after them.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh. Oh.
Toya
So I recently just kind of got blocked by this guy. So I guess, like, online dating is kind of like the way or another way to kind of get out there, see what you see. So I signed up on this app, had been talking to this guy online, just texting. We hadn't met in person or anything like that. Just texting. So I decided to do my little due diligence and look him up online just to kind of see if he really is who he say he is. And I guess he discovered that I looked him up online because after a good week of talking, nothing weird, nothing like that, he checked out to be who he was. He decided he was gonna block me.
Lauren LaRosa
What did you do?
Toya
I didn't do nothing but look him up. I guess he discovered that I had went on his Instagram and I checked his LinkedIn. You gotta make sure he employed.
Charlamagne Tha God
But how you know you. How you know you did all that?
DJ Envy
She probably looked at her story. He looked at. You know, when you look on somebody's story, you can see their name.
Morgan
Right.
Toya
So I'm guessing he doesn't see me look at his stuff.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's wrong with that?
Lauren LaRosa
But so what if you're getting to know him? Why wouldn't. What would it matter?
Toya
Exactly. So I feel like he's being weird.
DJ Envy
Oh, yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
Nah, he gay.
DJ Envy

Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, he got another life and he's.

Charlamagne Tha God
And it might be a family of boys.
Toya

Lauren LaRosa
It is all good.
Charlamagne Tha God

Lauren LaRosa
Yes, crazy. Don't sit on my couch. Plastic couch.
DJ Envy
Definitely plastic couch. All right, well, let's get to the latest one.
Lauren LaRosa
Lauren becoming a straight face.
DJ Envy
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
Charlamagne Tha God
She gets the details.
Morgan
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Charlamagne Tha God
She'd be having the latest on this, the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit everything. Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.
Morgan
Don't even look at me. Okay, so yesterday, Boosie was involved in a serious car crash with reportedly multiple people injured. So Monday, April 7, 2025, there was a video that began to surface online of a car accident scene. There's multiple people laying on the ground in this video, injured, and you See Boos standing up, he's talking to. I believe it's like a cop or like a. A paramedic that's on the scene. So people, of course, were like, yo, what's going on? Is Boosie okay? What's happening? So I reached out, I spoke to Boosie's publicist, and Boosie's publicist told me at the time that because Boosie hadn't spoke out yet, that Booy was okay, he wasn't hurt in the car accident. People were reporting that the car accident took place in Memphis. It actually took place in Georgia. And Booy, from what I'm told, was the passenger in the car. They were riding in the car. Boosie was on his phone, and next thing he knew, the car was. Was hit. Right.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why would people lay down on the ground?
Morgan
I mean, it was a car accident.
DJ Envy
Came out and everything.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, but laid out on the ground?
Morgan
Yeah, there was a guy laid by the car. I don't know if maybe he got out the car and, like, he was in pain, so he laid down. I don't know.
Charlamagne Tha God
I would have did that depending on what kind of truck it was that hit me or what kind of car that hit me.
DJ Envy
That's facts.
Charlamagne Tha God
Let it be a Walmart or Target. I'd have been laid out. I got unlaid down, too.
DJ Envy
I can't take you serious with that wig either.
Morgan
It's so crazy looking at you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Look like Star Trek or do your show, please.
DJ Envy
Your voice should be lighter, Charlene, but go ahead.
Morgan
So. Yo, stop looking at me. So. So, yeah, so Boosie was not her. He did ended up posting and saying that he was a little bruised up, but he's good. And I asked, like, you know, because he's. He's torn right now. He's performing a lot right now, but he gonna, you know, take some time off. And his publicist was like, no, Boosie gets to his money. So unless he's seriously hurt, he. He doesn't plan on stopping. But he did go to the hospital, and I'm told he only went to the hospital because the driver of the car was actually hurt and he just wanted to make sure the driver was cool.
Charlamagne Tha God
That mean he ain't get hit by the right person.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, my God.
Morgan
What?
Charlamagne Tha God
Cause if I got hit by the right person, I'd be in the hospital, right?
Lauren LaRosa
What? Almost did.
Jess Hilarious
Hello?
DJ Envy
Now, why was Boosie's shirt off? Is Boosie's shirt always off when he drives?
Lauren LaRosa
I don't.
Morgan
He was in the passenger seat, but I don't know why is that a question? I don't know.
Lauren LaRosa
Boosie's shirt always off when he drives.

Ow. Go slower.

From Blumhouse TV, iHeart podcasts and Ember 20 comes an all new fictional comedy podcast series. Join the flighty Damien Hirst as he unravels the mystery of his vanished boyfriend. And Santi was gone. I've been spending all my time looking for answers about what happened to Santi and what's the way to find a missing person? Sleep with everyone he knew, obviously.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hmm.

Pillow talk. The most unwelcome window into the human psyche. Follow our out of his element hero as he engages in a series of ill conceived investigative hookups. Mama always used to say God gave me gumption in place of a gag reflex. And as I was about to learn, no amount of showering can wash your hands of a bad hookup.
Jess Hilarious
Now take a big whiff, my bruh.

I have never seen one genuine medium.
DJ Envy
Join me, Tim Harford, for a Cautionary Tales trilogy on the world's most famous magician.
Charlamagne Tha God
It takes a flim flammer to catch a flim flammer.
DJ Envy
Houdini wanted the world to see reason in an age of spiritualism. He went undercover to seances, exposed fakes and charlatans, and even tried to convince Washington lawmakers to ban mediums for good, a campaign that cost him friends and made him many enemies.
Charlamagne Tha God
They're going to kill me.

DJ Envy
This is a con.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm conning you to get the Delano painting.
Charlamagne Tha God
We could do this together.
Morgan
To pull off this heist, they'll have to get close and jump into the deep end together.
Alexis
That's a huge leap, Fernando, don't you think?
Morgan
After you try. But love is the biggest risk they'll ever take.
Charlamagne Tha God
Fernando is never going to love you.
DJ Envy
As much as he loves this job.
Lauren LaRosa
That painting is ours.
Morgan

Morgan
Well, in other news. Well, first of all, I'm glad Boosie's okay and that everybody so far I know of is okay. Yeah. And will be okay. But in the other news, Bow Wow and Omaran, I don't know this.
Lauren LaRosa
What is happening, bro?
Morgan
This is like the. The. The beef that just never ends. But it's supposed to not be beef, right?
Lauren LaRosa
Like what? I don't even remember them ever beefing.
Morgan
It's weird. It's a very weird thing. Cuz it's like a silent thing that has like been going on for a long time.
DJ Envy
This guy, he wants to be a girl so bad.
Lauren LaRosa
Charlamagne isms will fall for you. He look real black or real white?
DJ Envy

Charlamagne Tha God
I want to hear the Omari on bow.
Morgan
Okay, so Give me the tea. Got you, girl. So Bow Wow sat down with Cam Newton, and they talked about a ton of different things, but they went through Bow Wow's, like, history of beefs. And Cam Newton brought up Omarion. Let's take a listen, Omarion.
Charlamagne Tha God
Was that a real beef? It's complicated. We can't just sit down and it has shit on.
Jess Hilarious
I don't wanna talk. It's nothing to talk about. Not even in a bad way.
Charlamagne Tha God
When you lay your hand out, you try to be the bigger person and try to rap, but you get no response.
Jess Hilarious
We gonna leave it right here. Then you do your thing, I'm gonna do my thing.
Charlamagne Tha God
We just gonna keep the peace. But it's definitely not no beef. Like, we in the same buildings. Like, we pass each other in arenas.
Jess Hilarious
We might not speak.
Charlamagne Tha God
Cause beef is if I see you at any place in time, it's on where it's on.
Jess Hilarious
Like, it's on site. That ain't what it is with us.
Charlamagne Tha God
We've been through this thing for so long.
Jess Hilarious
That where we at. He's 40. Like, I'm 38. Like, where we at now? Like, not like we grown. And it's just, like, we don't have to do that now.
Charlamagne Tha God
We got kids.
Jess Hilarious
We got our own lives. Where I'm going in my career is where I'm going. Where you going?
Charlamagne Tha God
It's where you going. I wish you nothing but the best. And for me, the best revenge sometimes is.
Jess Hilarious
Tom, you ain't even got to do.
Charlamagne Tha God
Much salute to bow. I just want to know when it. When has it ever been on site for bow with anybody.
DJ Envy
First of all, y'all been pissing Bow off recently.
Morgan
I mean, not ain't. Not that I know about in person. Kim Newton asked him. Did he? Oh, that's why he did that. Kim Newton asked him has he ever been in a real fight?
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, my God. He did.
Morgan
He did ask him that. And he was like, yeah, of course. Like, yeah. I think it's because he's had so many little, like, beefs. Like, it was like the little Romeo thing at one point. Then he had someone, Eric Benet, that I didn't even know was a thing. Yeah. Oh, my God. I should have got that audio. Yes, they. There was like a. It was like a. Brandon, if you're listening, can you please grab the audio? We'll bring that back in the next hour. Because Bow Wow was like. Like, you know, nobody has ever even asked me about that. No one's ever even addressed that but Omarion. Go ahead.
Lauren LaRosa
Not sit in an interview and tell somebody. Nobody's ever brought that up. You know, I was beefing with somebody, but y'all keep skipping over it. Like, nobody ever brings it up.
Morgan
I think it was like, 60.
DJ Envy
Like, Bennet is 60.
Lauren LaRosa
Playing with filters, like, he don't care.
Morgan
I'mma be able to add some more context in a second. But even.
Charlamagne Tha God
But what about when Omarion was here, though?
Morgan
Yes. So when Omarion was here, you guys asked him about Bow Wow. Making music with Bow Wow. Let's take a listen to that.
Charlamagne Tha God
What about Bow Wow? You think you and Bow Wow ever do a joint album again?
Lauren LaRosa
I'm not sure.
DJ Envy
I'm not sure.
Lauren LaRosa
I feel like if I'm gonna do.
DJ Envy
Any collaboration, whether it be rapper, singer, I feel like they have to have.
Lauren LaRosa
Like, current music out.
DJ Envy
You know what I'm saying?
Lauren LaRosa
Music that.
Jess Hilarious
And.
Lauren LaRosa
And, you know, current music of the last maybe three to three years.
DJ Envy
You know what I'm saying?
Lauren LaRosa
So, yeah, if I'm gonna do a.
DJ Envy
Collaborative, it's gonna be like, okay, new.
Lauren LaRosa
Music, we working on new vibes.
Charlamagne Tha God
I thought we asked tomorrow. I was good, though.
DJ Envy
I think we did. He said, I don't want to talk about it, or we will.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't remember that. No, no, no.
Lauren LaRosa
Something about B2K.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Morgan
But the reason why. So I remember when y'all did the interview, I had grabbed this to bring it back up the next day, because then, Bow. I got on Twitter and everything started getting crazy because a fan had tweeted bow wow. This was back in February. A fan had tweeted Bow Wow and was like that, basically, they need to talk. Omarion and he talk. And he was like, no, I don't. And then they mentioned the tour, and Baba was like, what tour? Because the millennium tour announcement was. Was happening, and that's why Omarion was here. I thought that Omarion. I know he means, like, peace and Zen and. Well, but I thought that that comment was a little shady.
DJ Envy
I mean, relevant.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. Like, if you ain't dropping the music within the last three to five years, why would I do something with you? I. Yeah, but that. That's also maybe his preference. Maybe he don't feel like he should have to revamp. Nobody. Maybe he feel like. Like, yo, like. I'm not saying. I'm just saying maybe that's his preference. Like, if I'm gonna collaborate.
Morgan
Yo, I was just thinking, I swear.
Lauren LaRosa
I look like him on, like, Mike. As soon as I got the bridge, I was like, damn, I look like Lil Bow from Mike.
DJ Envy
Keep Playing with Bow Wow.
Lauren LaRosa
No, no, no, no. When that jet land in New York, I'm. I'm scared. I ain't trying to mess with.
DJ Envy
Don't call me, though. I'm just saying don't call me for help.
Lauren LaRosa
Don't call you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nobody ever calls you for help.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, yeah, right. I wanna.
Jess Hilarious
Don't do me.
Morgan
We have Eric Benet.
DJ Envy
Eric Benet is 60 years old. What is he gonna do with Bow Wow? They were fighting.
Morgan
If we can't do it right now, I'm bringing. I'll be happy. Let's take a listen.
Charlamagne Tha God
This was an interesting one for me. Eric Benet.
Jess Hilarious
I know where you got that from, by the way. You're the first person to ever bring.
Charlamagne Tha God
Up Eric Bennet in a beef situation with battle. But I know you got cause of.
Jess Hilarious
The rap city freestyle.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, yeah.
Jess Hilarious
It was just a hard line to stab at him. You got to think I'm a rapper, so you got to be creative.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Eric Benet Bennett.
Jess Hilarious
And be not you the X Men, cuz you know how he played the X Men. I'm all that Holly's got.
Charlamagne Tha God
It was just like a cute little.
Jess Hilarious
Fun jab to jab at him. But I got all respect for.
DJ Envy
For Eric Benet.
Charlamagne Tha God
Say less.
DJ Envy
Oh, they didn't fight.
Charlamagne Tha God
I got to hear the context. I got to hear it in the flow.
Lauren LaRosa
He said, Eric Benet, the flow of the contest.
Charlamagne Tha God
That ain't hit, though. What I gotta hear when he rapping it. It ain't sound right when he just explained it.
DJ Envy
Gonna pull up on you now. So you keep playing with Bow.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes. Especially with that wig on. Yes. Give it. Oh, my God.
Morgan
Omarion did comment, guys, and he said that to his knowledge, there's no beef, no unresolved issues. Unless there is one question mark, no drama. He's in a season where he honors what's real, what's reciprocal, and what uplifts the spirit. We may cross paths and not exchange words, and that's okay. I wish him well on his journey. I move forward with love, clarity, and the truth. Truth. Thank you to everyone who came out to the Millennium Tour and made it a great success and excitement. And more great news to come. See you soon.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's what I got to be beefing over.
Morgan
I have no idea.
Lauren LaRosa
If it ain't dance moves, I have no idea. I don't know.
Charlamagne Tha God
Y'all almost 40. Y'all still on tour, selling out arenas all over the country. Life should be good. Like, what? Do y'all really have an issue over.
DJ Envy
Yo, I can't take you serious with that.
Lauren LaRosa
You really sit over there looking like Tamer Hall.
Morgan
Can you take that off?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'll be honest with you.
Morgan
This was crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
This was a social experiment. This was a social experiment.
Lauren LaRosa
Lawrence, baby, you got to sit in that.
Morgan
We need to just look at you for a second.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, but Lauren's wig person bought this wig. Now, y'all sit here and couldn't stop commenting on this wig for nine, ten minutes. But y'all sit there and let me be the only person talking about what be on her head, because this and.
Lauren LaRosa
That is totally different.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, it's not. It's the same thing from the same process.
DJ Envy
All right, all right, all right, guys. All right, guys.
Just Hilarious
All right.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, gals.
DJ Envy
All right, gals.
Charlamagne Tha God

Once you hit one that wiggle go flying. Okay.
DJ Envy
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
You're checking out the Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Again. Congratulations to the Florida Gators.
Charlamagne Tha God
They.
DJ Envy
They beat The Houston Cougar 65, 63 to win the NCAA men's basketball championship. So congratulations to the Gators again. Are you a Gator fan, Morgan?
Just Hilarious
I just like to do the chomp.
DJ Envy
Oh, okay. All right. Well, good morning.
Just Hilarious
And I do like that they blew an orange, you know? Morgan State hbc.
Lauren LaRosa
Anyway, I get it.
DJ Envy
I get it.
Just Hilarious
All right, y'all. So let's get back into the front page news.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Just Hilarious
So President Trump is scoring a big victory in the support supreme court. In a 54 ruling on Monday, the court will allow the Department of Justice to remove alleged Venezuelan gang members from the country under the Alien Enemies Act. Now, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller says the ruling makes the lawyer, the lower court judge, look bad. Let's hear from Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of staff.
Charlamagne Tha God
This was a huge. I mean, a monumental victory for President Trump.
DJ Envy
The biggest legal win of this administration so so far. A total embarrassment for crazy Judge Boasberg.
Charlamagne Tha God
Who'S been trying to force this president.
DJ Envy
To bring foreign alien terrorists back onto American soil.
Just Hilarious
So Trump may now invoke the night. Excuse me. The 1798 law to speed up removals while things play out in lower Courts now this will impact. Go ahead.
Charlamagne Tha God
I would say, correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not that he's trying to bring gang members back, but you know, when you have people who get swept up that aren't gang members, accidentally, accidentally, that's who they was trying to get back. Right. Like it was, it was a father from Maryland, if I'm not mistaken. Right.
Just Hilarious
Yeah, yeah, we'll get into that. It's not just him, but it's also the fact that, remember that judge issued that ruling on whether or not all of those migrants could be shipped to Venezuela and to El Salvador. Remember there was that confusion about when the plane left and things of that nature. It's just a matter of the overall all. How are you going to get rid of or so called deport these people? There's a way to do it, but based on this particular ruling, that means that he feels like the country is in some sort of turmoil, some sort of under attack. So if he feels like the country is being, is in a vulnerable space, then we can pretty much get rid of people how we want to, period. That's kind of how that, that, that ruling goes. That's why it's so old. And now that it's implemented. Yeah, they, there's, it's, it's, there's less grace. I will put two with that. You did talk about the dad, Kilmar Brego Garcia. He was deported after being arrested last month. Let's listen to his wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura. She's the wife of the Salvadorian national who was accused of being a MS.13 gang member. Let's take a listen to his wife. I want to say thank you to.
Morgan
Everyone that has helped us, that has.
Just Hilarious
Supported us in fighting this and we.
Morgan
Will continue fighting for Kilmar, for my husband.
Just Hilarious
So basically the Trump administration has. Well, a judge initially ordered that the government return Garcia back to the U.S. no later than 11:59pm on Monday. But that Supreme Court ruling has now blocked that. So there is still efforts to get him back. But also the Trump administration is saying that, you know, he is in fact an MS.13 gang member. ICE has proof of that. In fact, attorney Pam, Attorney General Pam Bondi, she says President Trump will continue to obey the law as it rules, whether it rules in his favor or against him. And she made those comments on Fox News on Sunday. She said that Trump is doing what he said he would do and the courts are kind of getting in the way. So she also, again, as I mentioned, she said that ICE has proof that the Maryland man was, who was mistakenly supposedly deported is an MS.13 gang member. Let's hear from Attorney General Pam Bondi. The President is going to comply with the law.
Charlamagne Tha God
He was overwhelmingly elected by an overwhelming.
Just Hilarious
Majority of the United States citizens to be our commander in chief. And that's what he's been doing. Ice has testified, members of Ice, that he is an MS.13 gang member. And, and the defense, his lawyers have argued, well, he should be here because he was studying to be an electrician. So it is important to note that Abrego was in fact granted. He was granted a protective status in 20. I believe it's 2019. So I mean, he is here legally, but I guess if the administration decides otherwise, then the administration decides otherwise. So the Attorney General also says that the real constitutional crisis in the US right now is the fact that there's been over 170 lawsuits filed against the White House. You know, basically saying that the administration is not able to do what they're, they're trying to do because of this. And she said it's her directive to get people like Abrego and others out of the country. Bondi said that they're looking for the safety of Americans and will continue doing so.
Charlamagne Tha God
So, yeah, I don't know about the, the person from Maryland situation. You know, I, I have no problem with them getting rid of gang members, but I would like to know what the proof is. Like I would like to know what the proof they have, you know, to know that he was a member of MS.13 because I think we, the American people should know. So we know who to avoid in the streets, are even know who to know when to call the proper authorities if we see one.
Just Hilarious
No, for real. Absolutely. And not only that, it just stands to impact immigration as a whole because did you guys hear about the Duke basketball player? And just the fact.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's crazy. Crazy.
Just Hilarious
Visas are being revoked left and right. So if you haven't heard, there's a star center from the Duke men's basketball team who, his visa has been revoked by the Trump administration. 7 foot 2 command Maluach is part of the Blue Devils team that made it to the Final Four on Saturday, but he's from South Sudan and Secretary of State Marco Rubio released a statement on X saying he plans to revoke all visas held by by South Sudanese passport holders immediately. So Duke University released a statement saying they're looking into the situation and working expeditiously to understand the implication of how it impacts. Of course, this player and Duke students overall. And Malawatch is, of course, also eligible for the 2025 NBA Draft. So I'm not sure how. I'm just basically going to keep an eye on that situation and see how that plays out for him.
Charlamagne Tha God
In regards that. That makes, that makes zero sense to me. But I am almost positive that his situation will be resolved.
DJ Envy
Yeah, it will be resolved with the amount of donors that I'm sure Republicans, the same donors that donated to Duke, I' possibly, possibly donated to Trump. I'm sure they'll clean that up immediately.
Charlamagne Tha God
And doesn't that feel like overreaching when stuff like that starts to happen?
Just Hilarious
But it's not just them. You know, there's also visas being revoked by the Trump administration at California universities. You know, university students and alumni at ucla, UC San Diego, UC Berkeley, UC Davis. They're among those also involved in a nationwide crackdown by the Department of Homeland Security. So you can't, you know, there's, there's. He's one case, right? Matt Watch is one case. But, you know, it's going to be a blanket type situation and you can't save everybody.
Charlamagne Tha God
And it shouldn't be like that, though. Like, you can't take a chainsaw to a situation like this. You have to. I would think you would have to be surgical with it.
Just Hilarious
Well, it's the same.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's the same thing as. It's the same thing as the Doge conversation. You can't just go in there with a chainsaw and just start cutting jobs. You got to go in there and be surgical with it.
Just Hilarious
Yeah, well. Yeah, well, that's not what they're doing. If the administration feels like the country is vulnerable right now, then they can essentially get rid of people who are not citizens.
Charlamagne Tha God
I know the brother from Duke ain't no threat. Like, I know that much. So like that, that situ. That right there alone lets me know that they need to be more surgical with this if somebody like him is, you know, getting his visa revoked.
DJ Envy
That's right.
Just Hilarious
Listen, that's pretty much your front page news. All right, so y'all can follow me on socials at morganmedia. And for more news coverage, follow Lack Information Network, Download the free iHeartRadio and visit us@bne news.com thank you.

What's up, bro? What's up, man? How you doing?
Lauren LaRosa
Good morning.
Jess Hilarious
Good morning.
DJ Envy
How you feeling, man?
Jess Hilarious
Feeling good, man. Just a little bit tired. Been all over the place, you know what I'm saying? Promoting this album that comes out soon, so just been crazy.
Lauren LaRosa
Got the new album dropping April 18th. It's called Five Five.
Jess Hilarious
What's the fifth album?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, fifth album. Yo, you. You the one, yo. It's a lot of hype surrounding you, yo. Like, seriously, you one of the most followed African artists on IG and Twitter, YouTube, anything you drop, go crazy, do crazy numbers, all your collabs, everything. How's all that success impact, man?
Jess Hilarious
It feels good, man. You know, just, you know, I stayed here a little time of my life, so just to see everything come around full circle for the culture, you know, I'm saying, even since when I was in school, I was always, always, like, pushing the African narrative and for it to just naturally pop off, that's crazy.
DJ Envy
Do you feel like one of the godfathers of Afrobeats and Afrobeats music? Because you were one of the first to.
Morgan
To.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah.
DJ Envy
To really pop and definitely commercialization pop.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, definitely. You know what I'm saying? Especially in the new age of the commercialization of the genre, you know I'm saying. Yeah, but we have a lot of godfathers, though, that came before me, you know what I'm saying? But we commercialized it, you know what I'm saying? Made it cool, made it popular. So, yeah, I take that.
DJ Envy
Did it hurt or help? Because it was. It's. It almost felt like it was commercialized so fast. Everybody jumped on it so fast, and then it slowed down so much, you felt like it hurt. A help with.
Jess Hilarious
I mean, first of all, explosion. That's why you always have to have your backing, which is home, you know, I'm saying. That's why, like, you notice that we always go home any chance we get, just to be around. And there's so much going on in Africa that we was okay for a long time. You know, Taylor popped off here, then we come out here for tours. So I feel like we always have the backbone to be able to always be able to be able to go home, you know what I'm saying? If anything, like, if stuff is slow a little bit, always go home.
Lauren LaRosa
But something I found so interesting about you was you. You didn't even grow up listening to Afrobeats.
Jess Hilarious
No. I grew up listening to rap like 50 Cent.
DJ Envy
You always say fifth is what I like.
Jess Hilarious
When I met him the first time. Cause we were talking. Cause, you know, we do the tour, we do the stadium together in London. So I'm telling. I'm looking. He's just like, what? I'm like, guy, you don't understand. I had the sneakers. I had the video game game. I had the sneakers.
Lauren LaRosa
Did you wear the tank top with the nipples? Okay.
Jess Hilarious
Anything. I had, like, I was crazy about, like, G Unit, like, all of them. And just to be able to, you know, go on tour with him, it's like, wow, you know, what is your.
Charlamagne Tha God
What does your family think about you being so influenced by somebody from America like that?
Jess Hilarious
I mean, you always knew I liked rap, you know what I'm saying? Like, and you have to feel like my parents, you know, did a little bit out here, too, so they understand, like, American culture as well. You know what I'm saying?
Charlamagne Tha God
So you ever look at these rappers and be like, these poor ass.
Lauren LaRosa
Dang.
Charlamagne Tha God
That means yes every once in a while.
Jess Hilarious
I mean, they know. They know what's going on, man. Yeah, but it's all good. Like, it's just a different time. Like, I remember, like, after I went back home, coming out in 2015, you know, trying to work with people, you know, finesse. Get this. I, you know, I had this song with Meek Mill at the time, and I knew what I had to do to get to Meek Mill, like, you know what I'm saying? And it's so much easier now where, like, my DMs, like, they understand it now. Yeah, let's work. You know, I'm saying I'm trying to come to Nigeria, you know, And I'm like, oh, come let's, you know, I'm saying, come experience it. I love it when they come. I'd rather meet them there. Like, I'd rather you come and you can show them culture most times when they come and then they see how it is, and it's like, wow. Like, why? Jimaly was just there? Because he's on my album. He shot the video. He's on a single as well. And he asked me a question. He was like, why do you. Why do you leave? Like, your life is so dope here. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he's never. He told me, he said he's never seen this kind of stardom before. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, how everybody love you. Like, he's never seen it. Like, why do you come to America, you know what I'm saying?
DJ Envy
So why? What's the answer to that?
Jess Hilarious
I'm American, you know what I'm saying? So it's different for me. But apart from that, there's so much going on outside the diaspora, with the culture and everything, you know what I'm saying? At the time, it's slowing down now a little bit, you know what I'm saying? But.
Charlamagne Tha God
But do they get mad at you when you say that in Nigeria, when you say you an American?
Jess Hilarious
No. You know what I'm saying? Like, they know. It's like, it's, it's from my pet, like, naturalization. Not like, they know I still rep, you know, Africa rep. Nigeria. I'm always home every chance I get.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. So you were born in Atlanta?
Jess Hilarious
I was born in Atlanta.
Lauren LaRosa
And then you raised.
Jess Hilarious
And then I. I went back home with my parents. But we used to come every summer, you know what I'm saying? Every summer we had a house in Atlanta. So every summer. And mind you, my siblings. Siblings didn't live in Nigeria. They stayed in London and America. So I was. I was the last child of five kids. So I was the only one at home with my parents because they wanted at least one kid with them.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
So I didn't leave. Like, I'd come every summer, but I didn't come and stay until I was like 14, 15.
Lauren LaRosa
So you saw the best of both worlds. So you had the trenches because what part of Atlanta?
Jess Hilarious
No, I was in. I was in Sandy Springs. Oh, so you were.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay.
Jess Hilarious
But my cousins used to stay in Gwinnett on the north side. So I'd go there, go there, chill, smoke, you know what I'm saying? I can't do that at home. But that's when I really experienced real Atlanta culture, you know what I'm saying? You know, start tapping in with the Jordans.
Lauren LaRosa
First, it was just sandals.
Jess Hilarious
Listen, my mom was one of the first probably person in the world to get. There's this particular Chanel bag at this time. This bag. This bag was like 20 some thousand at that time. I'm talking about 80s. She was the first. Like. Like, my mom was stylish. Like, if you walk in this building, you smelling the perfume, like, you know what I'm saying? So, like, we've always. They've always been fly because like I said, they understood American culture a little bit as well.
Lauren LaRosa
Got you.
DJ Envy
I was wondering.
Charlamagne Tha God
I can't keep up with how much Afrobeats has evolved, though, because you have the. I'm a Piano now? Yeah, it's like, what's the difference between.
Jess Hilarious
You see like Afrobeats is not like how it's not a sound. It's not how it's not a type of music. Actually. It's. It's kind of like. It's the genre that we. We called. Because in the UK there was this song that blew up from the banch. The band is like, he's our like J type stuff. Like he broke all the barriers. So at the time in the uk they didn't want to call it African music because you know how it is over there. So they called it Afrobeats. But Afrobeats was actually a genre that Fela was doing. That's Fela's own genre which has a distinctive sound. It sounds a kind of way. So when they were describing the music for the Afrobeats, it's just called an Afrobeat beats as a whole. Which describes. So if you're an African artist and you sing R B like we have people back home that don't even like they sound like R B type Usher type singers. And they dudes like Odumodu, who's really trapped, sounds like he's from Bronx, you know what I'm saying? Like type B type type of vibe. But they still call them Afrobeat artists. So it's like it's. It's an umbrella that has been used and it's kind of too late now to be like, oh no, it's not Afrobeat and explaining it and all that. So it's just like we just ran with it like, you know, so what.
Charlamagne Tha God
Are you currently doing? Like when you look at your new album five.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
What is that on there?
Jess Hilarious
It's African music. Okay, African music. But obviously if you go on the genre, they'll say it's Afrobeats, you know what I'm saying? But it's African music. Like the song with Victoria Monet. It's not Afrobeats to me. It's like Afro R B song of Becky G is like kind of like Latin. But we our music sounds alike anyway, you know what I'm saying? But definitely like you have original Afrobeats beat Davido songs on there. But what I'm saying is that that's just the umbrella used, you know what I'm saying? So I'm a piano is from South Africa. So South Africans since time always had great dope music. And funny enough, since early in my career I've been collaborating South Africans like very early in my career. So I'm a Piano came in, like, five years. Like, to my knowledge, it's been going on there, like, since time, but, like, it became like everywhere in Africa, like, five years ago. And then definitely, you know, how Nigerian. We tapped in with the sound too, as well. You know, I was working with their producers. And one thing about Nigerian producers, they can adapt. They can. They could remake anything and make it sound like, you know what I'm saying? Sick. So.
DJ Envy
All right, we got more with Davido when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's EJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Davido DeVito. He's in the building now. I know you are such a huge fan of 50. Well, why didn't you sign with 5th? Was that.
Jess Hilarious
I didn't even know. I didn't meet him. The first time I ever saw 50, I was a kid in Vegas. I was like, can I have a picture? He was like, no. He said, no, Looked at me. Said, no, like, looked at me. I was a kid, cuz my. My brother was turning 21. So my dad took everybody to Vegas, but I'm like, 14, I can't do nothing. So they doing their own thing. So I just seen him in the lobby and I. I actually used to love Lloyd Banks. That was actually my favorite. And so I saw him and I went to him. I'm like, ah, Lloyd Banks. And I took a picture of him. Then I saw 50 and I went to him. I'm like. With my accent then, like, Nigerian. Wow. 50 Cent. I love him. Can I have a picture? No. And he just walked off.
DJ Envy
Did you tell him about that when you met him later on?
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, I told him.
DJ Envy
What'd he say?
Jess Hilarious
You hear now, right? Like, I seen him in New York and he brought me out.
DJ Envy
I remember he brought you out.
Jess Hilarious
And then, yeah, we doing London together with Mary J. Blige and stadium.
Lauren LaRosa
Amazing.
Jess Hilarious
And then, yeah, and then, like, they saw, like, they saw the reaction action of putting me on the tour. He like, yo, I want you to come on more days. This little boy lit. So this is a good feeling, man.
Lauren LaRosa
That's what's up. Another person that you collaborate with that I. I love each and every song. Chris Brown.
Jess Hilarious
I always see when you talk about.
Lauren LaRosa
It, you know it. But, you know, one song that I love that I felt like, completely went under the radar because it was so. Both of y'all was doing so much stuff at one time was Blow My Mind. That was your first. That Was your first single together, right?
Jess Hilarious
That was testing, testing, testing, testing.
Lauren LaRosa
A song like that, you tested it?
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, like crazy. When we did Blow My Mind, I had met Chris because he was already doing like African stuff kind of other artists, but I never personally met him, but he had. He has a Nigerian best friend, big dude that's also him. He's full, like, he's Nigerian. So hoodie hits me up like, yo. Because I had dropped a song that I did for my wife at the time. It's called Asura's Huge. It was like huge in the Caribbean. And Chris liked that song. So from there we linked up, up. And then I came to America, came to la. I remember the first time linking up with him, like, he was just so cool. We haven't had even done the record. And then we did the record. Then he came to Atlanta and I linked up. He's like, yo, let's shoot the video. And this is all happening in like a week. So I'm like, oh, is this real? Like, yeah, okay, let's shoot the video. So I organized because I've. I've been in situations like, you know how you do, like work with American artists? Like when I first came, I didn't even know, like, oh, you have to get songs cleared, all that, you know, I'm so I'm heading over bread. Like, yeah, let me get that verse. They calling me too. Hey, yo, I want some more money. I'm like, what? This is like way before I met Chris, you know what I'm saying? That's a whole nother situation. And then I met Chris and how everything just went. Yeah, video was everything free, the clothes, everything free.
Lauren LaRosa
Crazy.
Jess Hilarious
From there we just became really good friends and just kept on doing music, music, music. And he's been on like all my albums since then, you know what I'm saying? I co wrote the under the Influence, him and my producer that ended up becoming huge, amazing. And then from there we just locked in and then we just did the sensational. And then.

Jess Hilarious
Just like, it's just like a ch. Like togetherness, happiness, you know, all good things. You know what our music entails. Like, we don't really be singing about deep stuff like that, but we do have deep songs. But I'm saying with this particular record, that's what he means.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, you, you. You have been through a lot personally, especially with loss. What kept you grounded?
Jess Hilarious
My family, man, because, you know, I'm. My family is very big, right? And what I noticed was that, you know, I'm saying, you know, you grew up in a family since you were a kid. Like, I've always been the youngest around. That's little David. That's little David. And then I blew up, obviously. And then I know how many times like I'm like, I'd be so busy like out of it. And then like even got to a point where like I be like it with my siblings would get.

You get your podcasts and upset like, yo, D, we still your family. Like you know what I'm saying? Call, talk to your nephews, blah, blah, blah. And then when my world went dark, like they was the only ones there, like you know what I'm saying? Every day, obviously my wife and her family were there. But the only thing that got us and we both strong like, me and my wife is strong, but apart from that, the people are around us that were there at the time really did a great job. And I want to give kudos to my father. You know, my dad really stepped in. Like, he put everything on pause, like, the business, everything on pause, just to make sure that, you know what I'm saying, we were okay. You know what I'm saying? We got twins now, so it's like, that's a blessing. A boy and a girl. And the boy looks exactly like my son. That f. Like, scary. Exactly. They act the same. The same everything he used to do, like, he does. So, like, me and. Me and my wife be like, yeah, he came back type stuff.
DJ Envy
Wow.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. And when you talk about how you had to go on the road when unavailable started popping, do you ever feel like fame and celebrity get in the way of, like, really healing?
Jess Hilarious
Definitely. Definitely. Like, I could see sometimes, like, I was like, kind of. I wouldn't say healing too fast, but, like, I'm on the road. Like, you have to understand, like, my wife at home chilling. Like, he comes one or two shows, you know, I'm saying, go back. But see me, I'm on the road. My adrenaline is pumping. I'm seeing in a week, I'm seeing a million dollars. Like, I'm seeing all the crowd be in the car, they chasing us. So it's like, you're smiling, but it's like, you need to kind of slow down. You know what I'm saying? So you know what I'm saying? That's why things like me getting married, you know, I'm saying, like, okay, look, you need to. This is how. This is how we got lit last time and, you know, forgot about family. So, you know, I'm saying, slow down a bit. I'll just be chilling, like, at the crib. And it's like, I'm like, yo, this not bad. Like, I'm like, that's right. It was so crazy that after I now sat for so long, like, I was having anxiety. Like, my boy's like, let's go. I'm like, we'll go out Envy. I'm telling you, we'll go back home out. Who go out with. Lit the bottles. I'm like, you sleep. So the other day, we went to. We had to. Went to Trinidad for the Carnival. I performed Me and my shout job, the record. So I performed here. My boys talking in the room. I said, I don't enter the room. I said, what are you guys talking about? I said, man, boss, we're not having any fun. You've changed, man.
Lauren LaRosa
Where are the girls?
Jess Hilarious
I said, where are the girls? Then when I get in trouble, everybody run away and leave me to face the Internet and all that. Like, nah, like boy and me. Women have dealt with me in my career. So it's like, boy, like, I'm good on that. But like, trust me, like, I've seen, I've been at the highest of the highest. The most. The best time is when there's no problem at home.
DJ Envy
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, it's called peace. Peace of mind, man. Not having no anxiety.
Jess Hilarious
There's nothing like that. I went to my, my friend in high school recently, so he just got married. So he calls me and I'm back in Nigeria. I'm like at home. So he calls me like, ah, David, you know, I just got married. Come and, come and visit my wife, you know, my man, we just got this new. Nice. It's nothing big, something nice, something small, modest. His wife is kids. So I'm like, yeah, I'll pull up. I'm like, yeah, but I got so many people with me now. So let me come like later in the night when everybody kind of like gone to bed. And then I drove to my guy's house, just low key me and my security and I just sat in his living room home. His wife brought food for me. Me and him were talking. I was just looking at him like this. I said, God, I know. I'm happy you did all this for me. But boy, ah, switch this. I was switching this, my friend right now. He was telling me, guy, your life is the best. I said, bro, my life is the best. But bro, you don't know what you have. Like the way you and your wife are even playing. You guys are not even. There's. Nobody knows you. You and your wife can go out, Nobody knows you. Do you understand? Like, when my situation is way different. So it's like, it's give and take. But you know, sometimes it's a dream that I wanted and what if it never happened too? So it's like, I'll just be thinking about that too.
DJ Envy
What you want to play off the album?
Jess Hilarious
Let's do. Okay. Let's do the funds.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, okay.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah. Because those are like, you know, apart from like the records you guys hear.
Charlamagne Tha God
It'S a big dude. I know that this guy you got on this record is big.
Jess Hilarious
He's the biggest rapper now.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
So a lot of things you guys know. Like for example, you see how when I came out here, we had the F4 money fall on you. A lot of songs that pop here, pop. You have bigger songs, like the local ones, like, like back home. You know what I'm saying? Like, and like a song like Funds with the Odumodu, it's always going to be bigger than a Vicar Monet record back home.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, right.
Jess Hilarious
You know what I'm saying? But once you get in the radio here, that's what you're gonna hear. You go in the stores. H m. That's what you hear. But I'm saying, what I'm trying to say is that there's so much more music, music back home that is also being digested that you guys don't really, really get to hear. So. So every time, like, I'm doing a project, I always keep in mind, yes, we have to please the Western world. And you know what I'm saying, we got to make money for the label, but we also have to please our original.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right.
DJ Envy
All right, well, let's get into a mini mix. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with David, though, Jess.
Lauren LaRosa
So I'm going come at you like, like a real. Not. No African, like a real American. So, d, you done cheating? Like, it's done like you.
Jess Hilarious
I don't want to hear. I said I don't want any wahala.
Lauren LaRosa
No, no, no, no, no.
Jess Hilarious
I'm okay. I'm on my envy swag right now.
Charlamagne Tha God
But you can, you can add more roster if you want to.
Jess Hilarious
If I want to, but I don't. Yeah, I have four kids. I have five kids. Kids and four women. With four women.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay.
Jess Hilarious
You know what I'm saying? So you already know.
DJ Envy
So you done? That's it. I want to go home.
Jess Hilarious
I'm sweating already.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm sweating.
DJ Envy
For you.
Charlamagne Tha God
In certain reasons in Nigeria, you can have more than one. Yes.
Jess Hilarious
No, it's not certain reasons. It's like, if.
Charlamagne Tha God
If you want to.
Lauren LaRosa
A lot of you want. You just. It don't have to be a religion. It don't have to be anything like you.
Jess Hilarious
Okay, now, for example, the. The eastern part of Nigeria, which is like the evils and stuff. Like, I've seen a lot, a lot of situations, especially like the Niger Delta parts of Nigeria. I've seen a lot of situations where it's like multiple wives. Like my uncle, that's the governor, he got two wives. You know what I'm saying? I have another uncle that His. All his wives live with him. Like they be playing with each other, like. But he's Christian.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, wow.
Jess Hilarious
You know what I'm saying?
Lauren LaRosa
So how much money he got, though?
Jess Hilarious
He's very rich.
Lauren LaRosa
Exactly.
Jess Hilarious
You know what I'm saying? But I mean, that. That don't mean nothing, you know what I'm saying? Over here, dude, but there still wahala. Upon all the money, there's still wahala. Do you understand? I rather go and leave believe with how my other guy is living, you know, maybe because I've ex. Maybe I've had bad experiences, you know what I'm saying? Sometimes the experience is the best teacher. You feel me? I'm saying, like, it's just never not worth it. Because when it happens, I know how many times when we was in having on the yachts in Miami, having the best time, and then when it happens, what you gonna be saying? Damn, I shouldn't have gone.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
But we're not talking about that though. We talking about cheating if you're able to have another wife under the laws of Nigeria.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah. Would I?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
No, no, not now.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't believe Africans are only telling the truth when they say, no, no, no, no. It gotta be more than one. No, you said one long, though. You didn't say.
Jess Hilarious
I thought too, man. Like, I blew up. My first song blew up when I was 17.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm with. You have one woman that's the most beautiful thing in the world. Beautiful family. Nothing better than that.
DJ Envy
Get that man a paper towel.
Charlamagne Tha God
Listen, I was expecting you. I was expecting you to come in here. A little chubby, though, because I know your wife is a chef too.
Lauren LaRosa
I was ready to say she got her own thing going.
Charlamagne Tha God
So what do you have?
Jess Hilarious
I. I actually gained. I just got back on the road. So, like, the thing about me, when I'm active, I lose weight quick, but I gain weight quick too. So it's like when I'm home and the kitchen's right in front of me. Oh, boy, she cooks everything.
DJ Envy
Like, I was gonna ask, being on the road, do you have any anxiety because you're leaving your family again and leaving your kids? Any anxiety?
Jess Hilarious
Like, yeah, when I was leaving this time. And like, you know, I'm saying just natural, you know, family stuff, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm like, babe, I'm on the road. I'm on the road. But it's like you still have to handle stuff back at home as well and just balancing it, you know, it's. It's crazy, but I feel like you can balance it. I'm not the first person to be married and be a superstar, right?
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, yeah.
Jess Hilarious
Nothing happened, you know what I'm saying? I mean, things happen, but, you know, I'm saying I've seen people way more successful success than me, way more success than me handle it.
Charlamagne Tha God
I bet you since you've been married and, you know, really devoted to your wife being faithful, I bet you've seen your life just go up, up, up, up.
Jess Hilarious
I'm telling you, like, everything. Like, I'm every. No, my wife has always had this thing over me since we were young. Every time I fight her, something bad happens. Something bad happens to my. My business. Just.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, damn.
Jess Hilarious
I saw. So if I fight, as you say, you're fighting me. I'll be. Your album is coming. You want to fight me? No, I'm telling you because it's like she has that grace, you know what I'm saying? Like, over me and, like, everything, you know, so my kids, my. You know, she don't have all my kids, but you know what I'm saying? Like, my kids love her, you know what I'm saying? Especially my daughter love her. So I'm just happy to see, like, growth. There was a time I was scared to even bring my other kids around her, you know what I'm saying? So the good just made me understand, like, you know, I didn't even have to tell my daughter, like, oh, this is your. She kind of just like.
Lauren LaRosa
It just happens.
Jess Hilarious
She just got it, you know what I'm saying? The next thing, we was in Bahamas and my wife braiding her hair. I'm looking in the car, I'm looking at the room, like, yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
How long you. Y'all been together? For a while, right?
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, like, before we got married, we was together like, 11 years.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jess Hilarious
School, you know, men in school, girlfriend. And then we got married. Married. We're meant to get married.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, y'all were young. Like, it was young when you said she was.
Jess Hilarious
Like, I was. Well, I was 18. Yeah, she was 17 in school. And then we just finished school together.
Charlamagne Tha God
Because, I mean, if you are with our wife since school. Yeah, 16, 26 years. How. How was the relationship with the big three? You know, yourself, Burner and Whiz Kid. What's the relationship?
Jess Hilarious
I mean, we don't have. We don't have personal. I don't have a personal relationship with them. I did, you know, at some point in time, but I feel like the culture is just so big you know what I'm saying? And the conversation is bigger than the big three right now. That's just the honest truth, you know what I'm saying? There's rma, there's Ira Star, you know what I'm saying? There are so many artists for us to just really make this thing about, you know, us. I feel like right now, we, all three of us understand that it's bigger than us and, you know, whatever it it takes for the culture to group, whichever week, you know what I'm saying?
Lauren LaRosa
What happened between you and Ty Savage, man? I know y'all were, like, really, really close. Like, that's my sister, man.
Jess Hilarious
She cool, man. Like I said, you know what I'm saying? Even with the big three question you asked me, you know what I'm saying? I remember when all of us, you know what I'm saying, Coming up together now. I'm saying me and Tiwa used to stay in the same house. Yeah, Big sis, like, you know what I'm saying? She saw me as a youngin, you know what I'm saying? But the situation with Tiwa was, you know, like, kind of personal, you know what I'm saying?
Charlamagne Tha God
She's.
Jess Hilarious
She's very, very good friends with my. The mom of my daughter, my first daughter, which, you know, we. We were in court having custody and stuff like that. So I just felt like, you know what I'm saying, You my help, see my daughter, that type stuff. So we just got a little argument. It was nothing, you know what I'm saying? It was just like brothers and sisters.
DJ Envy
Arguing, you know, you're cool now.
Jess Hilarious
I haven't seen her since then, to be. To be honest. But she did reach out, and you know what I'm saying? So, okay, probably if it happens, it happens. And I know bad, but I love her, you know, I love her child, and I saw him grow up.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
You know I'm saying she's an amazing person. She changed the game for females, you know what I'm saying? She'll always have that respect, you know? That's my sister. Like, yeah, I'll never let nothing happen to her. She knows, you know what I'm saying?
Charlamagne Tha God

Jess Hilarious

DJ Envy
Is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Lauren LaRosa
Lauren becoming a straight face.
DJ Envy
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
Charlamagne Tha God
She gets the details.
Morgan
I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything.
Charlamagne Tha God
She be having the latest on the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes we ask fact. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Who is the latest on the Breakfast Club? Talk to me.
Morgan
Okay, y'all. So I did some digging on this Bow W thing.
DJ Envy
What?
Morgan
Cuz I was trying to figure out what.
Lauren LaRosa
I was trying to. No te.
Morgan
I was trying to figure out why and kind of where this started. And there's no real beginning point, but I think I kind of zeroed in on one. And y'all are a big part of the problem.
Charlamagne Tha God
Breakfast Club, Jess with the mess.
Morgan
No, don't do that.
Lauren LaRosa
Absolutely.
Morgan
Honestly, we're going because you're going to hear you. A lot of you in the audio.
Lauren LaRosa
So, Omarion, it's a slow news day, boy.
Morgan
No, this is important to me. This was important to me too, because y'all kept mentioning the clip of Bow Wow and. Or Omarion saying something about Bow Wow, and I didn't have it, so I need to have it. Okay.
DJ Envy
Okay.
Morgan
You right.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm here with you.
DJ Envy
Your wig is different than the last hour.
Morgan
Like, now we give it t Balls.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now, y'all know this is Lawrence. Now y'all know this is Lauren's wig.
Morgan
Creep head is crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes.
DJ Envy
Go ahead.
Morgan
Yo, what you did?
Charlamagne Tha God
Everything they said about me, they really want to say to you.
Morgan
No, no, no, baby. All right, so wait, where am I starting at? Okay, so 2016, April Jones and Omaran split. Six months later, Omaran came here to the Breakfast Club and spoke about the split for the first time. They did, like, a post on Instagram, but he had never sat down, did an interview. When they split, Bow Wow tweeted like, yo, Omarion, let's go to the strip club. Let's knock down some girls. That's People was like, what? Why would he do all that?
DJ Envy
That.
Morgan
So let's take a listen to what Omarion said. Here on the breakfast club in 2017.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now, when Bow Wow did that, did you text him like, bow, chill out, cuz. If we get back together, she's not going to let you at the wedding. Nah, man, you know, n. I didn't.
DJ Envy
I thought it was kind of whack.
Lauren LaRosa
You know, he didn't really have no regard or no respect for the position.
Charlamagne Tha God
That I was in, you know what I'm saying?
DJ Envy
So we.
Charlamagne Tha God
Whatever I was going through, you feel.
Lauren LaRosa
Me, you supposed to support that.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm glad you said that because I thought it was whack too.
DJ Envy
Well, he might have looked at it differently. He might have looked at it to the fact that damn Omario might be effed up.
Charlamagne Tha God
Call me, text me. Don't put that.
DJ Envy
He definitely should have called and check on you, but come on, bro, I don't think it was. I don't think it was he.
Charlamagne Tha God
I thought it was too. And then. Then your girl probably like, oh, what? You told Bow Wow, y'all about to go have fun?
Lauren LaRosa
It was probably a remark or something like that, but I'm just saying, like, look at the position.
DJ Envy
You put me in smoke since then.
Jess Hilarious
Nah, nah.
Lauren LaRosa
But, you know, that's still the bro. You know, I mean, we.
DJ Envy
We.
Lauren LaRosa
We made a lot of money together.
Charlamagne Tha God
You feel me?
Lauren LaRosa
We got a lot of history together.
Charlamagne Tha God
Didn't they do a whole album after all after that?
Lauren LaRosa
And I believe after that.
Morgan
Now, listen, that has been a pattern of theirs. It's like, this all will happen. But then they still on the Millennium Tour, because then in October 2021, after this, of course, Bow, I got online and was mad at the Millennium Tour. He didn't say Omarion's name, but he said he was carrying people for a while. His set was short, he was off, and him and Chris Brown were leaving the tour. You know, Mariana had to come out and say, nah, I got on the phone, bye, bye. We good. So then they went back to the tour. Then in February, that's when it was. February 27th of this year is when those tweets happened that I was telling you guys about in the last hour when Baba was like, what tour? And he didn't need to talk to Omarion. Basically, I'm doing all this to say, Charlamagne, you've really been the problem.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Let the record show. Lauren and Jess are both, what, 33, right?
Lauren LaRosa
Yes, I'm 33. Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
So this situation is like, they're Jay Z and Nas. It's like they're Biggie and Tupac. It's like they're Kendrick and Drake. They are so into this beef, they cannot believe Omarion about.
DJ Envy
We did two hours on Bow Wow and Amario. There's no new New Diddy news.
Morgan
No, we had. We have some other stuff.
Lauren LaRosa
Viola Davis, communion wig. You are killing me. Me was this girl.
Morgan
Anyway.
Lauren LaRosa
Anyway. But that. Them two are the example of two brothers who. They may not speak, but they know how to get money. They know that they know how to make money. And that's just what that is. That's smart.
Morgan
And I just need. I wanted to make sure that I had that timeline right. It was just sitting deep in my soul.
Lauren LaRosa
And that's why it's complicated. Bow W said it's complicated. Like that's his girlfriend or something.
Morgan
This is Jay Z and your.
Lauren LaRosa
No, not at all, girl.
Morgan
Me neither.
Charlamagne Tha God
You should never refer to a relationship with a man as complicated.
Lauren LaRosa
God damn it can be.
Morgan
Man got feelings, too, right? Envy.
DJ Envy
Yes. Next hour, we going to do more Bow Wow Mario. Just ask.
Morgan
It wasn't supposed to take this long.
DJ Envy
Just ask him.
Morgan
Y'all keep asking and keep going. Then he. Jay Z. Nas.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes.
Morgan
All right, Aretha, that's it. I don't even have time for nothing else. I was going to do the. We going to go to Billboard, and I got a Wendy Williams exclusive in the next hour.
DJ Envy
Okay. All right. Okay. Charlene.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes. You cannot look at him and be like, hey, Leonard. Hey, Laverne.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, Laverne.
Lauren LaRosa
Leonard. Laverne McElv.
DJ Envy
Put your wig on.
Lauren LaRosa
I love it. Matter of fact.
Charlamagne Tha God
You see how unbothered I am?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
DJ Envy
Okay, hold on, hold on.
Morgan
That wig lay the edges better. Lay the edges better on the side.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't want to hear nothing from you about laying any edges better. How dare you. Now I'm insulted.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, my God.
Morgan
Come on, girl. You ain't got no part.
Charlamagne Tha God
Aena to.
DJ Envy
You ain't got no part in your wig. Come on, just.
Charlamagne Tha God
Please.
Lauren LaRosa
No, no, no, no, no. Keep going, keep going. Come on, E. Keep going.
Charlamagne Tha God
Sampson needs to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with her. She's from St. Petersburg, Florida. She needs to know McDonald's isn't dying for her.
DJ Envy
Are you having. Are you having a wig off later, baby?
Morgan
His wig could never sit with mine. It's not a wig. Anything.
Charlamagne Tha God
Your wig ain't sitting. Your wig is like this. Your wig being hit like this every.
Jess Hilarious
Hey, yo, yo.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, my God.
DJ Envy
Oh, my goodness. Dunkin'day's up next. The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
You're checking out the Breakfast Club. Make sure you tell them to watch.
DJ Envy
Out for Florida man.
Charlamagne Tha God
The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey.
Lauren LaRosa
A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason.
DJ Envy
It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say he rigged the door to his home.
Morgan
In an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife.
Charlamagne Tha God
Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo, the Breakfast Club Donkey of.
Jess Hilarious
The day with Charlemagne, the guy. I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all like this.
Charlamagne Tha God
It ain't. It ain't. It ain't me, Duvall. It's them. Okay, Florida Donkey of the day for Tuesday, April 8 goes to a young woman named Akina Sampson. Okay? Akina is a 31 year old woman from St. Petersburg, Florida. Florida, who works at one of the greatest institutions of all time, McDonald's. Okay? I am not about to sit here and do a commercial for McDonald's, okay? You can say what you want about McDonald's, but they have been around since 1940. It has 36,000 restaurants in over 100 countries and they serve 69 million customers daily. Drop one of the clues bombs at McDonald's. If that's not an institution, I don't know what is. Okay? Super Size me ain't stop nothing. At some point, we have all had a love affair with McDonald's. Okay? My go to was the two cheeseburger meal with an orange drink. And I'm old enough to remember when it was. 299. 314 plus tax. What was your go to, Jess?
Lauren LaRosa
The same thing. The two cheeseburger meal, 314.
Charlamagne Tha God
What about you, baby?
DJ Envy
Mine was the same, but it was 3.24 in New York. $3.24.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay? McDonald's was the place that we would all hang out after the football games. Drop on the Clues bombs for the Berkeley stacks, Monks Corner, South Carolina, all day. I have a lot of love and great memories connected to McDonald's. And there was nothing like, you know, having a home, homie, working at Mickey D's because they would always bless you with free food. That's what it was, a blessing. Okay? That's what it was, a blessing. All right? But Akina Sampson didn't have that giving spirit. Okay? Akina is clearly not the homie you want working in McDonald's. If you're looking to get something free. No. Okay. Akina is there to protect McDonald's at all cost. All right? See a 17 year old customer Got choked out by Akina after she stepped behind the counter to take some ranch dipping sauce after not being helped by employees. Now we have all been at a fast food restaurant and been frustrated by the service. But that doesn't mean you can take matters into your own hands and go behind the counter and do their job for them. Okay. This little entitled ass teenager took they ass behind the counter to get some ranch dipping sauce. And Akina, according to police reports, grabbed her arm. When the teen tried to break free. Akina allegedly grabbed her by the neck and and took the girl to the ground. Sounds to me like the Big Show's finishing move. Remember that showstopper choke slam Big show used to do? That's what seemed like happened in this situation. Now I know what you're thinking. How many ranch packets did the victim secure? Well, the police reports does not reveal that information. But it did reveal that the victim had visible injuries to her neck and left elbow. The incident was also captured on video. Akina was charged with child abuse. Now you probably saying to yourself, damn Akina, did you have to do all that for some McDonald's ranch sauce? I don't know if McDonald's ranch sauce slaps. I've never had it. Anybody ever had McDonald's ranch sauce? It slaps.
Lauren LaRosa
Definitely slaps.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, okay. Now if it was Polynesian sauce, chick fil a sauce we probably could understand. But McDonald's ranch I'm not sure. Just says it slaps. I'll take her word for it. But it's not about what the team did that got her choke slammed. It's the principle. As much as I have to give Akina this he haw because there is a part of me. I mean as much as I have to give a keena this hee haw, there is a part of me me that's like purr. That's it. What is it? What is it?
Jess Hilarious
Per.
DJ Envy
What is per.
Charlamagne Tha God
Per. What's that? That's.
Lauren LaRosa
That's Just clock it like that's the T. Okay.
DJ Envy
He wants to be a woman so bad.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes, honey.
Charlamagne Tha God
Someone has to teach these YNs a lesson. Okay, where was this 17 year old's home training? There is cause and effect. The 17 year old was the cause and effect is a keena choke slamming her and being arrested and charged with child abuse. And now she's about to lose her job at McDonald's. Okay, she is clearly missing her calling as nightclub security. But I digress. Look, Customer Service 101. If a customer breaches protocol, especially a minor throw hot fried Grease on them. No, the appropriate response is to call management. Our security. Our security. Okay. Don't resort to physical violence because McDonald's wouldn't frontline for you like that. And you should never, under any circumstance, risk your job, freedom and a young person's safety over a condiment. I know, I know. That 17 year old was risking it all too, but. Day 17, you 31. You should know better. Now, once again, you got a child abuse charge which is gonna look nasty on your record. And you lost your job at Ronald McDonald's house. This situation makes the ice cream machine always being broken seem like good customer service. Please give Akina Sampson the biggest he. Huh? McDonald's ain't dying for you, bro.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, that's a lot. That's extra.
Charlamagne Tha God
Just call the police.
DJ Envy
I will. I will say this, though. A lot of people that work at fast food jobs take their job way too serious.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, definitely.
DJ Envy
If I want an extra packet of ketchup, please give me an extra packet of ketchup.
Charlamagne Tha God
I agree.
DJ Envy
You know, if I say, hey, can I have extra ketchup? That doesn't mean one packet. Give me four or five. If I ask for an additional, you know, sweet and sour sauce. Sauce. Yeah, give me one or two. Give me two, three.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm telling you, you know, I used to give them packets away like testers on the corner.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. Because it's not. It's just hoarding. Them ketchup packets probably sit there for months.
Lauren LaRosa
They do at a time. Just take it.
DJ Envy
Take it too serious. If I want my. My fries to overflow.
Lauren LaRosa
Right.
DJ Envy
The fried container, you know, like, give me a little extra.
Lauren LaRosa
And it's not coming out of our money. Isn't like we not buying as employees. Like, we're not buying the supply sauces out of. Out of our money. So it's crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Be a cheerful giver when you work at these fast food establishments.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm just saying you look like Jennifer Lewis.
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes, definitely. On American Idol. That's when she.
Jess Hilarious
That.
Lauren LaRosa
When. That's before she started.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, it just told me off. She told me I look like a broke transgender.
Lauren LaRosa
I did not say. I did not say you like a broke transgender. I don't know how the brook ones look.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's what she said.
Lauren LaRosa
As opposed to the rich.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's what you said to me.
Lauren LaRosa
No, I said you look like an old ass trans woman. That's what I said.
Charlamagne Tha God
Same difference.
DJ Envy
Look like you was marching in the 60s. That's what it looks like. That's what that wig is giving.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right now, well, did you know what we had to go through in the 60s? I'm just saying, if you had dogs sicked on you and hoses sprayed on you and marching in 100 degree weather, you would look like this, too. You think your wig supposed to look prim and proper while you marching?
DJ Envy
I just said it just look like. No.
Charlamagne Tha God
You Dominicans don't know our struggle. Dominicans do not know how people struggle.
Lauren LaRosa
Don't let them celebrate. Celebrating. Gonna cast you tonight. See this wig on you?
DJ Envy
All right.
Lauren LaRosa
I mean tomorrow. Tomorrow morning. What is wrong tonight?
DJ Envy
He cashed you.
Lauren LaRosa

DJ Envy

Charlamagne Tha God

Lauren LaRosa
Oh, my God.
Charlamagne Tha God
You talk to me during regular office.
DJ Envy
Char want to be a woman so bad.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, now we're all part woman, 50%. It took 50% woman, 50% man to make us.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, so it's woman in you?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, sir.
DJ Envy
This wig really has him feeling himself. All right, Right. All right, guys, can we focus? Can we focus? Classroom, can we focus?
Morgan
Okay, okay.
DJ Envy
All right.
Lauren LaRosa
What in the tree are you talking about?
Charlamagne Tha God
That is crazy.
DJ Envy
I wish I could see his wig, cuz a lot of y. Like, what are y'all laughing about? He has a wig right now that looks like he's an old lady in church. That's exactly what it looks like. That just finished frying some fried chicken, and he's ready for.
Charlamagne Tha God
Where did the. Where did the wig come from? Tell the whole context.
Lauren LaRosa
It came from a wig store.
Charlamagne Tha God
No. Nope.
Lauren LaRosa
Lauren's stylist, her wig maker went to go buy you away from the store because she said you are not worth the bundle.
Charlamagne Tha God
So everything that y'all are saying about my wig this morning is exactly what y'all should be saying to her. But y'all leave me on this island all to myself.
DJ Envy
All right, 800-585-1051. You were talking love and hip hop.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes, I was. Basically, there's a situation going on between Rashida and Yandy right now. And. And they got into it, and Yandy thought that she was Rasheeda's friend until Rasheeda told her that you ain't my friend like that.
Morgan
It's been really awkward between Rasheeda and I.
Lauren LaRosa
We really haven't had much to say to each other. How could you say yeah, perk is my only friend really your husband?
DJ Envy
The one that did you wrong the most.
Lauren LaRosa
Keep that to yourself. Cause Rasheeda, you know that you fronted and faked like you've my friend for over a decade now. That dead ass wrong. I'm just kind of over it because we're not best friends. Like some people don't get it because they don't understand what real friendships are or what real loyalty is. I can't help it.
DJ Envy
So we're asking 800-585-1051. You ever had that moment when you realize someone you thought was your friend really isn't? That is the question. 800-585-1051 usually happens at your darkest time and people want to step on your neck. So that is the question. Ever had that moment, moment when you realize someone you thought was your friend really isn't? Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Jess Hilarious
It's topic time.
DJ Envy
Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion.
Charlamagne Tha God
With the Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club club. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about something that happened on Love and Hip Hop that Jess was talking about. So break down exactly what happened, Jess.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay, so Yandy and Rashida, they're both on Love and Hip Hop Atlanta. And there was a situation that went down and Yandy thought that she was closer to Rasheeda than she actually was. Rashida told her, like, we ain't best friends. We're not friends. Like that. And Yandy's argument is like, yo, all right, so the past 10 years has been fake. Like, you ain't never been my friend. And so I know this happens a lot where you find out that you're not as close to a person that you thought you was.
DJ Envy
Now the question is 800-585-1051. You ever had that moment when you realize someone you thought was your friend really isn't? So has that happened with you? But I'm saying the name.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, hell yeah. Yeah, yeah. Somebody thought that I was closer to them than I actually was. But see, people get the definition of friend misconstrued. Like, yo, if I'm your friend, yo, that means I've confided in you. I know your mother name. Like I. I know your kids. Like I. I've been to your house, you've been to mine. That's a friend. Now if we're like really close associates, all Right. Cool that. But we're still not friends. I think that. Yeah. More. More so like Rasheeda's like yo, we.
DJ Envy

Join the flighty Damien Hirst as he unravels the mystery of his vanished boyfriend and Santi was gone. I've been spending all my time looking for answers about what happened to Santi and what's the way to find a missing person. Sleep with everyone he knew, obviously.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hmm.
Alexis
Pillow talk. The most unwelcome window into the human psyche. Follow our out of his element hero as he engages in a series of ill conceived investigative hookups. Mama always used to say God gave me gumption in place of a gag reflex. And as I was about to learn, no amount of showering can wash your hands of a bad hookup.
Jess Hilarious
Now take a big whiff my bruh.
Alexis
Listen to the hookup on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your favorite shows.
Charlamagne Tha God
My name is Harry Houdini.
DJ Envy
Harry Houdini could make elephants disappear, walk through walls and escape the Chinese water torture cell. But he was also on a mission against mediums.
Charlamagne Tha God
I have never seen one genuine medium.
DJ Envy
Join me, Tim Harford, for a cautionary tales trilogy on the world's most famous magician.
Charlamagne Tha God
It takes a flim flammer to catch a flim flammer.
DJ Envy
Houdini wanted the world to see reason in an age of spiritualism. He went undercover to seances, exposed fakes and charlatans, and even tried to convince Washington lawmakers to ban mediums for good, a campaign that cost him friends and made him many enemies.
Charlamagne Tha God
They're going to kill me.
DJ Envy
Listen to cautionary tales on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Israel Gutierrez and I'm hosting a.

New podcast, Dub Dynasty, the story of.
DJ Envy
How the Golden State warriors have dominated the NBA for over a decade.
Charlamagne Tha God
The Golden State warriors once again are NBA champions.
DJ Envy
From the building of the core that included Klay Thompson and Draymond Green to one of the boldest coaching decisions in the history of the sport.
Charlamagne Tha God
I just felt like the biggest thing was to earn the trust to the players and let the players know that we were here to try to help them take the next step, not tear anything down.
DJ Envy
Today, the warriors dynasty remains alive in large part because of a scrawny 6.
Alexis
Foot 2 hooper who everyone seems to.
DJ Envy
Love for what Steph has done for the game. He's certainly on that, like Mount Rushmore.

Lauren LaRosa
Kind of just friends on the show, like for the show. Yandy, you making it seem a little bit more like. Like we talk outside of here or we actually our kids co mingle or we. I'm up in New York seeing you, you down in Atlanta saying, me, it ain't really that we friends on the show for the show, but we. Y'all ain't my friend.
DJ Envy
Yeah, I'm with you. There's people that are friends and the people are associates.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
DJ Envy
And like you said, friends are people that, you know, I will go to bat for if you have a problem with somebody. And nine times out of 10, I will have the same problem with the person because I know who you are as a person. And. And when you cross that line, we not friends anymore. Yeah, I look at you differently and we cool. I don't have no beef with you, but I just. I'm at an age where I just want friends in my life and business associates even. We can make money and cool. Or we have friends and we could play spades and we could come to the crib, smoke hookah, drink or Whatever it may be, but that's about it. What about you, Charlamagne? I can't look at him with this damn win.
Lauren LaRosa
Now we look like James Brown.
DJ Envy
Definitely James Brown.
Charlamagne Tha God
I think Yandy and Rasheed are too grown for that. Like, they should know at this point who a friend is and who isn't. You know, I've had friends, you know, cross me and show me that they don't deserve my friendship. But as far as, you know, not knowing who my friends are. Nah, I'm grown. I know who's who.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, that's what Rashida's saying. Like, I, like Candy Burris is my friend.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
You know, not you. You're not my friend. We're just friends on the show. Like, we're for the show.
Charlamagne Tha God
And I'm shocked Yandy didn't know that. I feel like Yandy around the block.
Lauren LaRosa
But it's still the show.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's true.
Lauren LaRosa
Maybe she acting like that for the show.
Charlamagne Tha God

What's up, Toya? Good morning. Where you calling from?
Lauren LaRosa
Hey, girl.
Toya
I'm calling from Queens.
DJ Envy
What part?
Toya
Hey, I'm from Queens.
Morgan
Red.
DJ Envy
Queensbridge. Okay. All right, talk to us. What's your thoughts?
Toya
So, yes, I know about. I think or two with friends, not really being friends.
DJ Envy
Okay.
Toya
And when you be a friend and you could warn your friend about stuff, and they still do stupid.
DJ Envy
So that. That happened to you before.
Toya
I have a friend, huh? Yeah, I have a friend, and I used to warn her all the time about stuff, and she used to try to make us seem like I'm hating on her or she's a victim. And I would be like, listen, girl, this is what's going on with this. Stop messing with him. Don't do this, don't do that. And she'll be like, oh, no. And then she'll flip the script and be like, oh, she hating on me. She mad this down the third. I'm like, girl, you looking dumb out here. And I'm the only one telling you that you're looking dumb.
Charlamagne Tha God
You're telling her the truth.
Toya
And then basically, yeah. And then, thank you, Charlemagne. Thank you. And then I used to be like, girl, don't nobody hating on you. What am I hating on you for? I'm the one who hooked you up, and now I'm telling you not to be dumb, and you still love being dumb.
Jess Hilarious
So.
Lauren LaRosa
Did she ever tell you that you wasn't her friend?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes. Yes.
Toya
She had the nerve to tell people that I was jealous of her. Had the nerve to tell people that I'm just, like, hating on her. I want her life. Girl, why I want her life for? I make more money than you. I look better than you.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, I got everything going on better than you. You ain't really a friend, then how you just gonna. How all this gonna come out at that? You know what I'm saying? He ain't no friend.
Toya
Because when I was being a friend. No, just. He was not a friend. Because when I was being a friend, I was a hater. I want her life.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Toya
I want everything she got. And I'm like, girl.
Lauren LaRosa
But you had to humble her. You just had to humble her ugly ass and tell her like, yo, you dress master.
Toya
Yeah, girl, I made your resume. I did everything to you, boo. I'm your friend.
Charlamagne Tha God
But if she was kidding. But if you knew that, if you knew that, you always felt like that.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
You always. No.
Toya
Cause it's like after a while, it's like when you know a person that you helping and you cool with and you. You know, I call myself and I ride and die for her. And my man was telling me, leave this girl alone. Speak nothing to her friends. And it made me so mad because he was so right. And I used to argue with him every time.
DJ Envy
Toya. That Queensbridge. I hear that Queensbridge all in your voice. I just want to let you know I hear it all in your voice.
Toya
Yes.
DJ Envy
Have a good one.
Morgan
It might be someone.
Toya
Y'all said this. I said, I'm calling. I'm calling. Cause I gotta speak this out.
DJ Envy
Thank you, Toya. Hello? Who's there?
Toya
Hi, good morning. Can you hear me?
DJ Envy
Yeah, I can hear you now. What's your name?
Morgan
Mama.
Toya
Hi, I'm Alexis.
DJ Envy
Where you calling from?
Toya
I'm from Michigan.
DJ Envy
Michigan. Okay. Talk to us. You had a friend that you thought was a friend, but that really wasn't a friend?
Toya
Yes. So I had a best friend for 13 years. And during that time, I was diagnosed with endometriosis. So I'm a black woman, she's a white woman. And she told me one time that I was racist because of my fear, in my own experiences of going into the hospitals and being treated a certain way because of my skin color and the way that I look.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's not racist. That's you understanding. That's you having proper historical context of the medical industry.
Toya
Absolutely. So I decided in that apprenticeship because, you know, even though she's not a black woman, I still expected her to support me, the allies, you know, still be my friend. And after that conversation, I was like, okay, yeah, no, this isn't the type of person that I want in my life. So we ended our friendship there. She was the godmother to my daughter. So fast forward, three years later, she ends up dating my daughter's father.
DJ Envy
Wow.
Lauren LaRosa
Damn.
DJ Envy
She definitely wasn't your friend.
Toya
Definitely was my friend. And my daughter's father actually had just got out of the prison after 10 years because of crazy stuff that he did, including the abuse that he put me through. So, yeah, so I definitely learned that that was not my friend after almost 15 years of even, you know, 13 years of ending our friendship. And then two, five, you know, two or three years later, still had love for her. But then learning this information, I was like, oh, she definitely never loved me. Definitely wasn't my friend.
DJ Envy
Is she still with your baby daddy?
Toya
Yes, they're still together.
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn.
DJ Envy
So when you drop your daughter off, you got to see her every time.
Toya
I don't drop my daughter off because he's not in her life.
DJ Envy
Oh, I'm sorry.
Toya
He's not a good father.
DJ Envy
Oh, sorry.
Toya
He doesn't reach out to her.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why don't you ever look at it as maybe God introduced her soul mate to you so she could meet her soulmate.
Lauren LaRosa
You're a client. Clown.
DJ Envy
Clown.
Lauren LaRosa
That's a whole baby forever.
Charlamagne Tha God
Because you got a child. You got a child. You got what you were supposed to get, which was a child.
Lauren LaRosa
And she got her soulmate, but she wanted a family. Duh.
DJ Envy
Or maybe God put him in her life so he could ruin her life like he tried to ruin yours.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's not what God does, sir.
Toya
Look, I. I believe that everything happens for a reason. Everybody learns their lessons, especially I think, when it comes to. I don't want to. I don't want this kind of thing. Crazy. When it comes to black people, when, you know, we have a whole spiritual team. We have our ancestors, everything. So when people come for us, I truly believe that you get your karma. So I don't, you know, whatever that is, she's gonna get that. And that's indeed their life.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, but then that mean that you must have had some bad karma too, because, you know, he did you dirty. You didn't get what you wanted out the situation. See what I'm saying?
Toya
You know, I'm not. He did me dirty. But what I got out the situation was 10 years of peace. I had 10 years of being able to live my life with my daughter without an abusive man in the situation or in fear for my life.
DJ Envy
You got A beautiful daughter out of it. That's right.
Toya
Absolutely. I'm extremely grateful. Thank you as well.
DJ Envy
800-585-1051. If you're just joining us, we're asking, have you ever had that moment when you realize someone you thought was your friend really isn't? And let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God
If y'all talking about it, you know we talking about it. It's topic time.
DJ Envy
Call 800-585-1051.
Charlamagne Tha God
To join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the God we are the Breakfast Club. We're asking 800-585-1051, have you ever had that moment when you realize someone you thought was your friend really isn't? This comes from love and hip hop. Let's play the clip of Yandy and Rasheeda.
Morgan
It's been really awkward between Rasheeda and I.
Lauren LaRosa
We really haven't had much to say to each other. How could you say, yeah, Kirk is my only friend?
Charlamagne Tha God
Really?
Lauren LaRosa
Your husband?
DJ Envy
The one that did you wrong the most.
Morgan
Keep that to yourself because, Rashida, you.
Lauren LaRosa
Know that you fronted and faked like you're my friend for over a decade now.
Morgan
That dead ass wrong.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm just kind of over it because we're not best friends. Like, some people don't get it because they don't understand what real friendships are or what real loyalty is. I can't help it.
DJ Envy
Hello? Who's this?
Toya
I'm gonna remain anonymous.
DJ Envy
Okay, Anonymous. Good morning. What's your situation?
Toya
Okay, so I had a friend for six years. We still talked, but we fell out one time because I told her to keep her relationship separate from her friendship. Cause her spouse was talking about me.
Charlamagne Tha God
On Facebook or whatever.
Toya
And when we became best friends and I ended up getting engaged, I invited them out to my surprise engagement announcement. Two days later, somebody close to us told me that my best friend was talking about me and saying that I can't keep. No man, she gonna see how long relationship last. And like, I even saying that I was messing with her old dude just to keep, like people not talking to me. So yeah, people can be safe. Even though she don't know that I know I just saw about two weeks ago, but she was supposed to be my maid of honor, so I got to figure out how to bring that up to her that I know that you was talking about me. Because I never talked about her ever.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, this ain't nothing. You just tell the Person that told.
Toya
Me is close, like, very close in our circle. And it's kind of hard because she said she don't care, but it's like a whole family dynamic thing.
Lauren LaRosa
All right, so what? She shouldn't have told you. She ain't want you to say nothing. And you shouldn't. You should have covered your ears if you weren't gonna say no. I don't care. You supposed to know this. You're supposed to find this out. Ain't no way that you gonna feel good up there standing in front of your husband, about to say yes, and this conniving clown ass one is right behind you. And she was just talking about you. No, you don't get to stand next to me.
Toya
No, I know, and I feel it. It made me sad, too, because it's just like for six years, nobody could talk about my best friend.
Lauren LaRosa
Exactly. So you thought that they had to.
Toya
Turn around and we only wasn't talking for, like, two months.
Lauren LaRosa
That's it.
Toya
It wasn't that serious. Like, I felt like it was a respect thing because. Keep your relationship and your friendship separate.
Charlamagne Tha God
May I ask a question, please?
DJ Envy
Why are you talking like that?
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, is there any truth to the, you know, you can't keep a man thing?
Toya
Oh, baby, I can keep a man.
Just Hilarious
I just didn't want a broke man talk, that's where.
DJ Envy
Okay, yeah, yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Do you have a man?
Lauren LaRosa
Thank you.
Jess Hilarious
Sorry.
Lauren LaRosa
That her man proposes, about to walk down the aisle is evidence enough that she can.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, you about to get married?
Toya
Yes. We're engaged.
DJ Envy
That's right.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay. What's his bank account like?
DJ Envy
None of your business.
Toya
Oh, his bank account is on lovely.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm just asking. I don't want your friend to hate on you no more. That's all I'm doing.
Jess Hilarious
Please.
DJ Envy
Thank Mama. Thank you for checking in.
Toya
I feel like it's been hating. Thank you.
Lauren LaRosa
Thank you.
Jess Hilarious
Byebye.
Lauren LaRosa
She's been hating.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's the last point.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, my God.
DJ Envy
Why you want to be a bad so bad.
Lauren LaRosa
So bad. Well, bad bitches don't wear them wigs. He look like one of the beetles. Jesus.
DJ Envy
What's the moral of the story, guys?
Charlamagne Tha God
What about your friends? Will they stand their ground? Will they let you down? Baby, I'm T Boss. You Chili. Go Envy Left Eye.
Lauren LaRosa
No, yo, ain't no go ahead. No, first of all, you have on that Anita Baker wig, and you singing the TLC song.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, you told me I look like tea bars earlier.
Lauren LaRosa
Every time you change it, you change positions. Every time you switch it around, you look like somebody else is different. They look like Jennifer Hudson.
DJ Envy
My goodness. All right, we got the latest velo coming up. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Cabor morning, everybody. It's d E, J, Envy, Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Lauren LaRosa

DJ Envy
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
Morgan
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Charlamagne Tha God
She be having the latest on the biggest.
Jess Hilarious

Charlamagne Tha God
The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything on the brick. This club. Talk to me.
Morgan
Just.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, y. Go. Go ahead.
Morgan
One of the biggest beefs in music just ended, as announced on Instagram about, like 15 hours ago.
Lauren LaRosa
Nikki and Kim.
Morgan
No.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay.
Morgan
Madonna and Elton John.
DJ Envy
What that beef.
Morgan
Madonna and Elton John.
DJ Envy
What are they beefing about?
Morgan
So Madonna, Elton John have actually been beefing for what's funny.
Charlamagne Tha God
You're resorting back to your tmz.
Lauren LaRosa
Elton John sitting right across from us right now.
DJ Envy
Definitely look like a black Elton John right now.
Lauren LaRosa
Clown.
Morgan
So first of all, this is a big deal, okay.
DJ Envy
Is it?
Morgan
Yes.
DJ Envy
What were they beefing about?
Morgan
Okay, so they've been going back because Elton John is just a little bit sometimes shady and then throws rocks and hides his hands, in my opinion. Love Elton John, but he'd been giving Madonna h double hockey sticks for a very long time. So in two. It all started 2002, Elton John time. Madonna had released her Die another day song for James Bond.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Morgan
And he called it the worst bon tune ever. And then he. She got nominated for an award at, like, this award show called the Q Awards, right? So her nomination was best live performance. And he stood up while accepting another award and said, since when do we give best live act nominations or awards for people who lip sing? And it was talking about her, right?
Charlamagne Tha God
But.
Morgan
But he always jokingly ends it like, well, you know, but I'm a fan. Like, stuff like that. That. And then in 2012, Madonna beat Elton John out at the Golden Globes for best original song. And then Elton John's husband dragged her later on for the win. But again, every single time, they try and, like, cushion it and soften it. So basically, she went and saw him at snl. She found out that he was performing at SNL this past weekend. She was like, you know what? I want to go. Let's bury the hatchet. It's not that deep. They took a picture, posted it online. She said she Always felt like an outsider growing up and watching him on stage helped her understand it and understand that it's okay to be. To be different. So she went backstage to confront him. And when she met him, the first thing out of his mouth was forgive me. And the wall between them fell down. So then now they're going to work on some music together.
DJ Envy
Can you name three Elton John songs?
Morgan
I can't, but I know the shadiness.
DJ Envy
Name two.
Morgan
I don't know Elton Johnson. I just said I don't know him off the top.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why are you doing that.
Morgan
If you know? So you know how like we love the memes and I don't know, you don't be on Twitter, but we love the memes and the black Twitter. Elton John is the king, one of the kings of shade, okay?
Charlamagne Tha God
Elton John is one of the greatest musical artists of all time. Just because you just cuz you can't name one of the Rocket man is one. I know how it go. I don't know, but I don't know it.
Lauren LaRosa
That's from the movie Clown.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know what movie you talk.
Lauren LaRosa
About like her first of all, Rocket Man.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, But I don't know. But it's Elton John. Amazing.
Morgan
Just because I don't know the songs off the top of my head. I'm just saying asking if you played one, I could. I would be like, oh yeah, I know that. But.
DJ Envy
That'S not El John.
Charlamagne Tha God
That is, that's not who that. That is.
DJ Envy
Let me look it, let me google.
Charlamagne Tha God
What you going, what you going to do when. When you, when you realize I'm right?
Morgan
You going to realize you not just change to that wig.
Charlamagne Tha God
What you going to do Rocket Man?
Lauren LaRosa
Uhuh. Who doing the bending? Which one? Jesus.
DJ Envy
Oh yeah, he did do a Masada.
Lauren LaRosa
Sure did.
Morgan
Okay, DJ Envy.
DJ Envy
Okay, I'm sorry, I don't have to hit my serra.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm sorry, my bad.
Morgan
Well, yes.
DJ Envy
Oh, he did the Circle of Life too.
Morgan
DJ Envy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Circle of Life. That's that brown eye, Elton. Circle of Life. Bend over, let me see that. Circle of Life. What?
Lauren LaRosa
Stupid.
DJ Envy
What?
Morgan
In other music news, y'all, Billboard has released their list of the BET the 25 best female rappers of all time. I printed out the list for you guys and these are staff picks. So people who work at Billboard, they sat down, they looked at a bunch of different things. They looked at body of work and achievements, cultural impact and influence and longevity. Also they looked at lyrics and flow and they came up with this list. So number one on the list Nicki Minaj. Number two on the list, Missy Elliott. Number three, Lauryn Hill. Number four, Little Kim. Number five, Queen Latifah. Number six, MC Light. Then we have Salt and Pepper, Roxanne, Shantae E, Foxy Brown, Cardi B. The Brat, Trina, Left Eye, Meg the Stallion, Doja, Cat Rhapsody, Remy Ma, Lotto, Moni Love, Glorilla, lady of Rage, Gangsta Boo dochi, and number 25, Tierra Watt.
Lauren LaRosa
Who is Moni Love in the middle? Okay, cool.
Morgan
How y'all feeling about this list?
Lauren LaRosa
So, all right, so let me ask the two old heads in the room, what is Queen Latifah's catalog? I know Unit Y, and I know another song by her, but, like, what is.
DJ Envy
She got a lot of joints.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay, all right.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's how somebody else. Somebody felt like that when you was asking about Elton John out there. I'll fight in you right now. Okay. You talking about.
Lauren LaRosa
All right, so I know. So I'm. I was more of an MC like, Light chick growing up. I. I knew Queen Latifah songs, but I didn't know if her. I didn't know our catalog was super long like that. Oh, all right, cool.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, it's interesting with this list because, you know, 25 best female rappers. My initial reaction is some of these people are new. Too new to say, yeah, greatest female rappers of all time. But sadly, it's always just been a handful of rappers. The biggest thing that's missing for me on this two that's missing was you two. Mia X and Rod Digger.
DJ Envy
Rod Digga definitely should be on this list.
Charlamagne Tha God
And Mia X. X.
Lauren LaRosa
Who's Mia X?
DJ Envy
Mia X should be on the limits. Digga should definitely be on the list.
Charlamagne Tha God
And Mia X should definitely be on this list. Mia X and Rod Digger should definitely be on this list.
DJ Envy
Should be on there.
Charlamagne Tha God
I can make a case for Bahama. Deal.
DJ Envy
Shoot.
Charlamagne Tha God
I can make a case for China White.
DJ Envy
You can make a case for Shawna. Ludicrous Shawna.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
DJ Envy
Give it, Give me, give me.
Charlamagne Tha God
Sh.
DJ Envy
Got busy now. I know she's new, but Sexyy Red should be on this list.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, if you got all these other new people on this list, I don't see why not, Man.
Lauren LaRosa
Where little mama at, yo? Like y'all try.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm thinking about it. I'm thinking about where, man.
Lauren LaRosa
Come on, man. Where's she at?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yo, I don't know. I don't know if little mama got the catalog, man.
Lauren LaRosa
Little mama need to be up on here, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know.
Lauren LaRosa
Man, not on here.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, I don't know, cuz it's only always been a handful of female rappers. When you put together a top 25, you probably going to have have to use a lot of new folks. I can't say anything's wrong with this list. I would just say that Mia X Rod Digger should definitely be on it. I can make a case for Bahama Deal.
DJ Envy
But if you do, and I'm just.
Charlamagne Tha God
A China White, I love always Sexy.
DJ Envy
Red should be on there. If you do a new artist, the amount of record she's put out. Who sexy, right?
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, yeah, definitely. Definitely.
DJ Envy
Tink should be on there. If you're talking about artists that you know.
Lauren LaRosa
Tank.
Morgan
Tank. Do Tank.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. Tank ain't solely a rapper. Do Cat either though.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. Doja Cat isn't, you know, but you.
Morgan
But Doja Cat.
Charlamagne Tha God
All of these list of fours that do exactly what we doing right now. Because I would even change the order.
Morgan
I was gonna say, how do y'all feel about the first three?
Charlamagne Tha God
MC should be top five.
DJ Envy
Nikki should be number one.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, I, I, I like Nikki being number one. I like Missy Elliott being number two. That, that's creative.
Charlamagne Tha God
If you basing this off lyrics, though, MC Light would probably be number one.
DJ Envy
I think Nikki's still number one. Not over Light Nikki number one. Nikki number one. I like Light Light too, but I think Nikki number one.
Lauren LaRosa
With Nikki whole catalog.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I'm talking about lyrics. I ain't talking about songs and I'm just talking about.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, I know. Like lyrics. Like, I think rapping first came out. Nikki came out swinging.
Morgan
Body of work is a part of his body of work. Achievements, longevity, cultural impact, lyrics and flow. Nikki is body of work. Slash achievements, cultural impact, slash influence, longevity, lyrics. Flow.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, when you factor all that, Nicky's.
DJ Envy
Number one, Nicki's number one.
Lauren LaRosa
And then Rhapsody should be a little higher too.
Charlamagne Tha God
Definitely.
Morgan
I thought Rhapsody should have been.
Charlamagne Tha God
If it was lyrics, definitely.
DJ Envy
I think Kim should be number three.
Morgan
I would, I would have argued for Dochi to be a little bit higher. Dolce 24, Tierra Wack.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, yeah, definitely. She should be higher for sure.
DJ Envy
You're talking influence and all that. Kim should be top three, top 25 of all time.
Charlamagne Tha God
Do you already?
DJ Envy
Well, I mean, let's go, guys.
Jess Hilarious

Charlamagne Tha God
Now, I love Orlando, by the way.
Lauren LaRosa
I love Orlando, too.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's one of my favorite cities. My aunt live in Orlando. I used to go there every summer.
Lauren LaRosa
Yep, it's calm, you know, it's like. It's like the. The chiller side to Miami. Yeah, you go to Miami to turn up Orlando. You go and you relax and all of that. So, yeah, I can't wait to get out there this weekend, y'all.
Charlamagne Tha God
And I'll be having to go there every year because my daughter cheerleading competition, like, when they do, like, the big.
Lauren LaRosa
Super bowl, it'll always be in Orlando.
DJ Envy
Yep.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
DJ Envy
All right, well, when we come back, we got the positive notice. The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.
Lauren LaRosa
It's DJ Envy.
DJ Envy
Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's time for positive note charlamagne. You got one?
Charlamagne Tha God
I do. And one more thing about Orlando, since Jess gonna be in Orlando this weekend, you know one of my favorite things about Orlando, too.
DJ Envy
What's that?
Charlamagne Tha God
Finger licking restaurants.
DJ Envy
Oh, my God, they got a couple Lickens in Orlando.
Charlamagne Tha God
Orlando.
Lauren LaRosa
They're really, really good. I never been to the one in Orlando, but the ones in Miami, oh my God, they so good.
Charlamagne Tha God
And I always find myself in Orlando more than Miami, especially because my daughter's cheerleading. So that's why I know that. And I love the Licking. Salute to my guy. E class. But the positive note is simply this. Be yourself around others, okay? The biggest assumption that humans make is that everyone sees life the way we do. We assume that others think the way we think, feel the way we feel, judge the way we judge and abuse the way we abuse. We are afraid to be ourselves around others because we think other people going to judge us, victimize us and abuse us and blame us as we do ourselves. So don't be afraid to be yourself around others, okay? Everybody going through the same thing you going through. Have a blessed day.
DJ Envy
