[DJ Envy]

Just hilarious. Charlemagne the God.

[Hilarious]

Peace to the planet.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's Thursday.

[Hilarious]

How y' all feel out there? I feel blessed, black and highly favored. Happy to be here another day to serve our beautiful listeners.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

Good morning. How you feeling out there?

[Hilarious]

I feel great, man. Like I said, happy to be here. It is a Thursday. I was reading this morning about cortisol belly, you know what I mean? Which is something that I knew about, but I was reading about how to actually get rid of cortisol belly. See, a lot of y' all out there got fat stomachs, and y' all think it's because of diet, because of what you're eating. And you're probably, you know, on a diet and you're probably working out and all of that good stuff. And that belly still won't go away because your belly is storing unnecessary cortisol.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, all right.

[Hilarious]

You're stressed out. And when you're stressed out and those cortisol levels spike, it all goes to your stomach. So I was reading a bunch of different reasons. Not reasons. Ways to make it make you make your stomach flat.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, what are some of the ways?

[Hilarious]

I don't have time for all of that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You gonna tell us.

[DJ Envy]

You gonna tell us the issue and problem and then not tell us what the solution is?

[Hilarious]

Sometimes. Sometimes you leave people to.

[DJ Envy]

Nah, at least tell us what the solution is.

[Hilarious]

Make them drink what they say, you know, lie flat, one hand on chest, one on belly. Inhale through the nose for four seconds. Your belly rises, your chest stays still. You exhale through your mouth for eight seconds, belly falls completely. Repeat that for three minutes before you go to bed. And they say why it works? Because the extended exhale activates your vagus nerve, and it's the direct line between your breath and your stretch response. And research confirms that diaphragmatic breathing significantly lowers salivary cortisol with consistent practice. So they call it the 4 second inhale, 8 second exhale.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, Jess.

[Jess Hilarious]

Good morning. What are we talking about?

[Hilarious]

Cortisol belly.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, okay, okay. I heard vagus nerve. I'm like, okay, that's the nerve that controls the whole nervous system, even when

[Hilarious]

you see skinny people with, like, the fat stomachs and stuff like that. Cortisol. That's what cortisol stores in your stomach. It stores in your belly. Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, so, you know, you asked for that lesson this morning. Envy.

[DJ Envy]

No, he was telling us about. He was reading about it, and then

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Give us the solution.

[DJ Envy]

I was like, well, what's the solution?

[Hilarious]

But no, because your belly fat is not random. You know, your abdomen has a higher concentration of cortisol receptors, and they have the most cortisol receptors of anywhere else in your body. So every time your stress hormone spikes, your body sends a direct signal to your midsection, and that's where it stores the fat.

[Jess Hilarious]

Wow.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Hilarious]

That's all.

[Caller/Listener]

That's.

[Hilarious]

I'm just, you know, I just taught

[Jess Hilarious]

a bunch of people why they fat.

[Hilarious]

Yeah. When you wake up this morning and you look down and can't see your penis, I'm just giving you some reasons why. It's not just because, you know, you're not eating right or because you're drinking crazy. Cuz some of y' all are not doing that and still got the belly cortisol. Stop letting these stress you out, okay? I was scratched out yesterday. Called you a million times.

[Jess Hilarious]

And I called you a million times back.

[Hilarious]

You ain't even pick up.

[Jess Hilarious]

I did.

[Hilarious]

Come on, we playing phone tag. You sitting right there looking at that phone.

[Jess Hilarious]

I was not. Why would I look at the phone

[Charlamagne Tha God]

then call me playing phone time. Was that all day?

[Jess Hilarious]

All day it was.

[DJ Envy]

I spoke to you all day.

[Jess Hilarious]

You answered for me.

[Hilarious]

You see what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He did not call me yesterday.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He is lying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He did not call me all day. Talked about the baby.

[DJ Envy]

We talked about Chris. All right, let's get the show cracking. Jaques will be joining us this morning. Arby, singing Jacques. He'll be here. His new album comes out this Friday called Mood 2.

[State Farm Announcer (alternate)]

Let me tell you something.

[Hilarious]

When Jeezy does this at the Black Tie Experience in Vegas, oh, my God, that orchestra be killing this.

[Caller/Listener]

It.

[Jacques]

[Hilarious]

It's like a. It's a negro spiritual. Okay? I'm in my Cool Whip, inside Jello, whole audience.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How about that pretty mother like, hello, hello, hello, ladies.

[Hilarious]

How you doing?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That crazy girl. Don't say nothing to him.

[DJ Envy]

All right, let's get into front page news. Good morning, Mimi.

[Mimi]

Good morning, guys. How y' all doing this morning?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning, Mimi.

[Hilarious]

Black and highly favored.

[Mimi]

Good morning. So we start this morning on Capitol Hill, where the man who became the face of America's COVID 19 response is back under the microscope. I'm talking about Dr. Anthony Fauci. He appeared under subpoena yesterday. As Senate Republicans, they reopened questions about the government's handling of the pandemic and the origins of COVID 19. But instead of answering, Fauci believed the hearing was designed to trap him and repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination more than 100 times. Let's listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The sole reason he is calling me before this committee is to get me to say something, anything that could vindicate his repeated public pledges that I end up, in his words, quote, behind bars, unquote. Therefore, although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades long record of cooperating with Congress, under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the fifth amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions.

[Hilarious]

Now, listen, I'm stupid, okay? I just want y' all to know that. I will say I never understood why Dr. Fauci needed a pardon if there was no crime committed or nothing was done wrong. And when you think of every conspiracy theorist that accused him of everything from creating or covering up the virus, you know, the profiting. The profiting from mandates and vaccines, it does look suspicious that he won't answer questions in the language. How can somebody trap you if you're not doing nothing wrong? Like. Like, how can you can't trap me if I'm not doing anything wrong? What am I going to say?

[Mimi]

Yeah, well, I'm not a lawyer, but I will say this. Republicans, and especially led by Senator Rand Paul, they pointed to 1100 pages that they released from Fauci's personal government diary entries. That was released.

[State Farm Announcer (alternate)]

We lost you.

[Hilarious]

Maybe you went up.

[DJ Envy]

Mimi went out. Are you there, Mimi? Mimi?

[Mimi]

Oh, you're okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You was flowing to.

[Hilarious]

Your hands was moving like you. Like

[Mimi]

I was. I was. Because none of this makes really any sense, right? Because earlier this week, the. The. They released 1100 pages of foul cheese personal government diaries. And it accuses him of misleading the public during the pandemic. And from what I understand, it was nothing that he could. Because he was. You're right. He received a preemptive pardon by President Biden. And they want someone, especially Senator Rand Paul, they want someone to. To. To blame. To make them understand what happened, why we had to separate for six feet, why so many people were fired from work if they didn't get the vaccine. There's just so many questions behind this and. But one of the most talked about moments came during Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno's questioning as he confronted Fauci over the response. Let's listen to what he had to say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was about six years ago today that I decided I'm going to give up my businesses, sell them all, run for office, run for the United States Senate. Here I am sitting in front of you six years later saying, who the do you think you were for doing that? It is a total disgrace what you did to this country. You may have had a 50 plus year legacy of public service, but it ends in total and complete disgrace. So let me ask you an opportunity to answer one question. Will you apologize? Just apologize. Do you have the dignity to just say you're sorry? On the advice of counsel, I respectfully decline to answer based upon my rights under the fifth amendment to the Constitution.

[Hilarious]

Tell me this, Mimi, what are they saying he did wrong? Maybe that'll help me out here.

[Mimi]

They are saying that he misled the public about what? The origins of COVID 19, where it came from, if it came from China or if it was man made or, you know, they said that he knew more than he let the public on to know. And the response of everyone being locked down, the response of people losing their job, the response was just overkill. And they are upset about that. But it's also worth noting that Dr. Fauci served as the top infectious disease expert, you know, for nearly five decades. He served under seven presidents and he helped turn HIV drugs into a life, from a fatal diagnosis into a manageable condition. You know what I mean? So no matter what the hearing yesterday was just, you can disagree with how covet was handled, you can be upset, but yes, indeed, it could have been tactful and it was a little disrespectful.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, he wasn't malicious. They didn't find any, any malicious intent that he was doing. Right. But also, it was nothing. He wouldn't say anything that's going to make people say, well, this is an admission of guilt and now I can sue you. So that's probably why he said that, you know, the fifth Amendment.

[Hilarious]

But y' all don't think it's fishy that he got a pardon? Why did he need a pardon?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

A pardon. But why did it?

[Mimi]

Because, Because President Biden felt like Donald

[DJ Envy]

Trump was going to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes,

[Mimi]

same reason he, he pardoned his whole family. And, and, and, and, and Hunter Biden in the January 6th committee. Right. I mean, they didn't know. Well, did he though? I mean, I don't know. Is it any different?

[DJ Envy]

I think Donald Trump was talking beforehand that he was going to go at Fauci. But my whole point is, yeah, you go at Faucher, but nobody goes to Donald Trump. They told everybody to drink Clorox at one time.

[Hilarious]

Well, Trump did the same thing. He exercised the same right as well. But once again, we know Donald Trump actually committed crime.

[Jacques]

Correct.

[Hilarious]

That's my whole point.

[Mimi]

Yes, we do know that. But also, too, a lot of the American people are upset that we are still stuck in 2020. When we're talking about the election, we're talking about COVID And there are just problems right now in 2026 that need to be addressed.

[Hilarious]

Well, if the COVID If covet or the Kobe vaccine is still causing people problems six years later, I can understand why people are still having the conversation. I'm just saying, you know, I just feel like nobody can trap you if you're not doing anything wrong. You know what I'm saying? That's sit down and answer any question if I know that I'm clean.

[Mimi]

Well, again, this was on the advice of his lawyer, and his lawyer did get kicked out of the hearing because he was, you know, advising him, apparently too much, according to Senator Rand Paul. So there's that, too.

[Hilarious]

Well, I know these conspiracy theorists happy this morning. I'm like, I know they sitting around. Like I told y', all, we tried to sell y'.

[Caller/Listener]

All.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[State Farm Announcer]

Yeah.

[Mimi]

All right. We'll talk about more and something. We have an update in another Wells case. We'll get to that at 7.

[DJ Envy]

And everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051 is the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's a new day. This is your time. Get it off your chest.

[Hilarious]

Wake, wake up.

[State Farm Announcer (alternate)]

Whether you're mad or blessed, it's time

[Charlamagne Tha God]

to get up and get something. Call up now.

[DJ Envy]

800-585-1051.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello? Who's this?

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, this is Michael from Texas.

[DJ Envy]

Michael, what's up?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Morning, Chest.

[DJ Envy]

Michael.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Good morning.

[Caller/Listener]

So I'm gonna give Solomon God here today. Damn few days still. You did a segment on Atlk and I believe that you missed led a lot of people.

[Hilarious]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

He originally, he was in jail. The original charge was he was driving 130 miles per hour on the highway.

[Hilarious]

I said all of that in and out. I said all of that.

[Caller/Listener]

He hit a woman at 130 miles per hour and knocked her over the highway.

[Hilarious]

He deserves to be in Prison. I said all of that.

[Caller/Listener]

Exactly what you mean, violation. So that's all. That's what happened.

[Hilarious]

And he completely. He completely deserved to be in prison for all of that.

[Caller/Listener]

Yes. But for the past two years, he was already making content videos with the inmates in prison.

[Hilarious]

Now, that's what I found out. I found out that he was on OnlyFans popping that for the goons. I didn't know that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, yes.

[Caller/Listener]

And on Twitter as well.

[Hilarious]

I didn't know that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Caller/Listener]

And I felt like that you kind of took a viral. One of his viral moments and didn't look at the content of all the past two to three years. Well, I will always say, every morning, contacts matter.

[Hilarious]

I will say this, though. Even if you're a sex worker and you're. You're doing that in prison, you still got to do it based off consent.

[Jacques]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You ain't got to take all the

[DJ Envy]

things in the barrack.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He didn't want all the things in the barracks. That's right.

[Hilarious]

If they. If all. If all of these guys are making him do this and he doesn't want to do it, that's a lack of consent.

[DJ Envy]

And that's what we were saying. He might have just wanted half, but like, he's. You can still.

[Caller/Listener]

He's doing it with the black, the black man and the Latino man.

[Hilarious]

What you mean only the black and Latino?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What you think the jail full of. What do you think the prison's full of?

[Caller/Listener]

Black, white, Hispanics, Mexican, all of them Africans.

[Hilarious]

Well, all he said was the whole.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He was only doing it.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, but he was only doing it with the men who have larger penises.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, that's the black.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but that's his choice.

[DJ Envy]

If he was large.

[Hilarious]

I think the converse. I think the word that we're missing here is consent. I agree with. If he. Just because he's a sex worker does not mean he had, you know, there doesn't have to be consent.

[Jess Hilarious]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Can't rape him just because he had consent.

[Hilarious]

Not in that video I saw. In that video I saw he was crying.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes.

[Caller/Listener]

No, but if you look it up, Google Atlk Prison, there's also also been stories that victim advocates have tried to stop that. Stop him from posting content, stop him from exploiting other men in there for profit. It was good when he was Prof. Him for it. And then the jail took away his phone.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, so he's saying he got now and that's when it became a problem.

[Hilarious]

Well, listen, I understand everything that y' all saying, but I think Two things can be true. He could have been doing that. But there's also a point in time where just because you're a sex worker doesn't mean that you should be sexually assaulted.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

No means no. Even, like, you just don't want things in your mouth.

[Caller/Listener]

Earlier, I don't know if you missed it, he also explained that he didn't want to do it anymore because he wasn't getting paid. He was only doing it because he was getting paid.

[Hilarious]

Oh, I ain't see that now. I just saw him cry.

[Jess Hilarious]

At first he was a prostitute. Now he's not.

[Caller/Listener]

Exactly.

[DJ Envy]

But if he's still. But even if he said no, I don't want to do it unless I get paid. That's still consent. You just can't force it. Regardless. I mean, regardless of what he did.

[Hilarious]

Yeah. The larger issue with the donkey of the day was, you know, just because you're in prison doesn't mean that you should get raped. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's all out. That's all. That's right.

[Jess Hilarious]

And now you got donkey today because

[Charlamagne Tha God]

he didn't want to.

[DJ Envy]

He said no more.

[Hilarious]

Oh, yeah. You know what I'm saying? Whatever I'm saying is, I'm gonna let y' all mind. Y' all prison business.

[DJ Envy]

There you go.

[Hilarious]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is your time to get it off your chest. 800-5-8, 5, 10, 5, 1. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello? Who's this?

[DJ Envy]

Hey, Fatima. Get it off your chest, Fatima.

[Mimi]

I think nowadays some people should just start working at the airport because everybody wants to fly across the world. It is so easy working at the airport nowadays. People want to be late.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me tell you this.

[Mimi]

I work with United Airlines. I work twice a month, and I fly whenever I feel like it.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. She's saying that you would like to travel to just get a job at

[Mimi]

the airport, but the pay sucks.

[Caller/Listener]

I ain't gonna lie.

[Mimi]

I only get paid 17 an hour.

[Hilarious]

And what do you do?

[Mimi]

I work customer service. So I work the front, and then I also work the gate. That's it.

[Hilarious]

Y' all don't get salary. I didn't know y' all get paid hourly.

[Chris (Airtasker Announcer)]

That's crazy.

[Mimi]

Oh, yeah, trust us. We've been. We have a union. They've been trying to fight for our contract. They ain't paying us nothing. That's Why? I got a second job on the side.

[Hilarious]

That's crazy, man.

[Mimi]

And I make way more than that.

[Hilarious]

I would never understand that.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, Mama.

[Hilarious]

I don't get that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know.

[Hilarious]

I don't get that. Because why? Why'd you hang up on her?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

She did.

[Hilarious]

Because air. The people at the airport, the people at the airports make our lives so easier. Like, we're all trying to get somewhere. So I respect the people that check us in. I respect the people that go to get our bags.

[Mimi]

We love y'. All. Plus, I can say me, we love y' all even though the pain sucks, because we try to make y', all, you know, have a better day and stuff like that. We don't know where y' all flying from or gone. We don't know if y' all going to a funeral.

[Hilarious]

That's right.

[Mimi]

We don't know if y' all about to go see family. And none of that. We try to make it defense day. Even when TSA was whack.

[Caller/Listener]

Oh.

[Mimi]

We was trying to help y' all as fast as we could. We were trying to hold the planes as much as we could. Even though sometimes y' all would come 30 minutes before y' all flight would take off.

[Hilarious]

I never would do such a thing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't know that.

[Hilarious]

I thought. I really thought the airports was. The airlines were a good government job.

[DJ Envy]

I thought so, too.

[Jess Hilarious]

It is.

[Mimi]

I really think if y' all got, like, let's say a child, make y' all tie, work there for the child, you can use your child's benefits.

[Hilarious]

So hold on now. What are you trying to tell us?

[DJ Envy]

If your child is here, you can get free flights. You can get discounted flights. That's what you're saying, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Mimi]

I work at the airlines. My dad works at the airlines. My aunt was at the airline. My uncle was at the airlines. I got benefits with four different agencies.

[Hilarious]

So is it a good job or not?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but you don't get paid well. But the benefits, I guess, are amazing. Thank you.

[Hilarious]

Got you. Got you.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you. I do know a lot of people that. That work, work or their spouse works at the airport and they fly everywhere all the time because I think they got to pay like a fee of 90 or whatever. The fee 25. Something ridiculous.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What?

[DJ Envy]

Monthly or just every time you fly. You would know, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, you gotta pay, like a.

[DJ Envy]

Some type of fee to fly.

[Nancy Grace]

And then

[Lauren LaRosa]

[Jacques]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

[DJ Envy]

All right? We got the ladies coming up.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, we do. So Usher has spoken. He is setting some ground rules. Just giving a warning for anybody that wants to come up on his stage. Every time Usher hits a tour, there's always something that's so viral from the tour. Now he's speaking about it. We'll talk about that. And talking to speaking. LeBron James. Kevin Hart is getting him ready, teaching him some Philly lingo. So we're gonna learn a lesson this morning.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we'll get to that.

[Hilarious]

Next. Kevin, man. Kevin getting smaller.

[Jess Hilarious]

He.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, he just wasn't next to you.

[Jess Hilarious]

What do you mean?

[Hilarious]

No, but I noticed that I saw him with LeBron. But I noticed that when I saw him a few weeks ago.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Smaller compared to you?

[Hilarious]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

No way.

[Hilarious]

I've always towered over Kevin.

[DJ Envy]

That's a lie. It's the Breakfast Club Yo. I was checking out the Sprite Living track list the other day and immediately started arguing with myself. It was wild because records like California Love Still Not a Player and Back Then are so much more than words in a song. They're moments, they're memories, they're snapshots of where hip hop was and where it's going. That's what Sprite gets They've spent over 40 years celebrating artists who define the culture, and now they're turning the conversation over to the fans. And if you're like me, the real fun is getting into the why. Why does this song matter? Why does this line hit? Why did it change hip hop forever? Now, I can't promise you any answers, but with Sprite you'll have a good time figuring it out. Check out the full Sprite Living track list and break down the stories behind your favorite bars@livingtrackless. Genius.com this is the Sprite Living track list.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You know, One thing I had to unlearn was treating my textured hair like everybody else's. For years, I followed all of the popular advice, tried the trends, and used products that worked for other people. But my hair was still dry, it was breaking and it just wasn't retaining any length. Not the length I wanted anyway. It was so frustrating because I felt like I was doing everything right but still not seeing any results. Everything changed when I realized my hair needed products made specifically for textured hair. That's why I love Baskin Lather. I've been especially enjoying the stimulating scalp and hair balm because it helps me nourish and hydrate my hair without feeling like it's greasy. It's made with 100% natural ingredients, helps reduce breakage, adds shine, and supports healthier looking hair over time. I also love the hydrating Hair Mist, which helps keep my soft hair moisturized and helps fight dryness and frizz. And I love the story behind the brand Baskin Lather is a black black owned and family operated company created by founder Shayna and her mother when they developed their own hair care line solutions. When a younger sister was told that her hair may never grow back. Today her hair reaches down to her hips, honey. Looking at the before and the after results on the site, it's easy to see why so many people swear by these products.

Obvious.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's obvious.

[DJ Envy]

Beverly Hills. Twang on it a little bit.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't even want to hear LeBron James saying some of that stuff. Like, I just want him to just do what he do and stay focused.

[Jess Hilarious]

Did LeBron never try to repeat anything?

[DJ Envy]

You didn't hear him.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He said, he said. He said it with like a ou and it's like supposed to be U L, L, L, but Yeah. So other LeBron news. There was a report that came out yesterday, I bleacher report and front office do it. That his jersey, the LeBron James number, number 23 Sixers jersey, is now the best selling jersey ever for any player in the first 48 hours after their announcement, which surpassed the previous record that was set by Ohtani when He joined the LA Dodgers back in December of 2023.

[Hilarious]

You mean announcement of a new team?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So when the player announces a new team, the jersey. Yeah. So fanatics put out a statement about, you know, it being the fastest selling jersey this season. About to be crazy for the six.

[Hilarious]

Philly is a big city. A lot of people.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. The fans in Philly are very, very dedicated. I. I just want to know what the protocol with the fans are about to be like, how they're. Because it's going to be even bigger than what we've seen in the last. Like what? Like when we saw them. Yeah, like that's how they're going to, like, control the fan. You know, Philly fans are like a real dedicated.

[Hilarious]

You know, you don't control Philly fans. That's not what. That's not what being a Philly fan. Whether it's the Eagles, the Sixes, and the Sixes haven't won in a long time, but we know how the Eagles fans get down. Yes, Philly fans. So it's like there's no controlling Philly.

[DJ Envy]

You could try to contain them, but

[Mimi]

you can't control

[Lauren LaRosa]

a bit. Because it's going to be a good time.

[Hilarious]

Well, when it comes. I think when it comes to basketball, if they are super successful, it'll. It'll. It'll. It'll rival New York fandom. It won't get close. It'll be like, as close second, but it'll rival it.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, it'll rival it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

To be there is going to be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Jess Hilarious]

All right. I was ready.

[DJ Envy]

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, no, well, speaking of fandom and. And people coming out to things, so. Remember we talked about the girl who got on stage with Usher and it went viral because she didn't really want to be up there. Well, Usher, you know, he's been continuing to do shows. They're on a tour and. And he was on stage and he kind of threw a little warning out there for girls that want to come up on the stage moving forward. Let's take a listen before we get started.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't bring your ass up here if you don't want to be here.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right.

[Jacques]

God don't like us, but he most certainly don't feel too good about pretty privacy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So if you guys remember when that. When she got on stage, she did the whole pretty privilege and that's why they came and grabbed me thing and. And you know.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I seen her. I seen a young lady's boyfriend post a picture and was like, I'm the reason why she didn't get it. She didn't lay down on that. I don't know.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, I saw that picture too, and

Pull up on there. See if you want to feeling on

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Hilarious]

So when people say God don't like ugly, they're not talking about physical appearance, though. They talking about spirit. I guess.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I guess. Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

I guess.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes.

[Hilarious]

Today people not ugly, though, man. You know what I'm saying? Some people cosmetically challenge, that's ugly. But then beauty is in the eye of the beholder as well.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but cosmetically challenged, it's just a nicer way to say ugly.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Don't even say that. He Say ugly.

[Hilarious]

Cosmetically challenged just mean you're broke. That's all. Just need a little glow up some.

[Lauren LaRosa]

There are people who aren't super like don't have a bun a bunch of money, but you can look and be like, that's a good looking person. The money can add to it. But like, you know, sure.

[Hilarious]

Cosmetically challenged people. People that when they get a little bit of money, they be like, damn,

[DJ Envy]

That's surgery too.

[Jess Hilarious]

I ain't saying nobody is enhancements too. Like, you better believe you ugly. I mean, that's how I feel too.

[Hilarious]

But it depends just an ugly person. Because everything ain't about ugly. Physical. You know what I'm saying something. You might just be dirty. You might have just learned to wash your butt and have money.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Them headlines was doing you dirty yesterday. They said you just found your him. Oh, sorry.

[Jess Hilarious]

And you can be pretty with a effed up attitude. That makes you ugly.

[Hilarious]

Hard dirty ass.

[Chris (Airtasker Announcer)]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

You know what I'm saying? That makes you ugly.

[Hilarious]

So then you marry a beautiful woman who shows you where your inner beauty

[Jess Hilarious]

[Hilarious]

That's where the whole kissing of the frog come from.

[DJ Envy]

That's not what Donnell rolling said. Donnell rolling says, Charlemagne showed me how

[Charlamagne Tha God]

to wash my ass.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yep. That is what he said. And I said, I am our brother's keeper.

[Hilarious]

We know Don alive.

[DJ Envy]

How do we know?

[Hilarious]

I would never do that. The clue I would never get in the way of what you include got going on. All right. I would never do that. I'm not that type of person. I don't wake up. Happy home.

[DJ Envy]

That's the latest with Lauren.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yes, it is. And in the next latest, we're gonna get into some genuine things because the sneakers might be coming back. And Uncle Murder and Turner.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yo. Still have some things to say about what went down here on the Breakfast Club with Memphis Bleak. So we'll tell you about it.

[Hilarious]

All right.

[DJ Envy]

When we come back, we got front page news. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Jess Hilarious]

Mark your calendars. Today is miracle treat day at dq. You buy a blizzard treat at participating locations. DQ donates a dollar or more to the Children's Miracle Network to benefit your local children's hospital. Help your community today and buy a Blizzard dq. Happy tastes.

[Hilarious]

Good morning, everybody.

[DJ Envy]

It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to some front page news. What's up, Mimi?

[Mimi]

Good morning, everyone. How y' all doing this morning?

[DJ Envy]

Good.

[Hilarious]

Black and highly favored.

[Mimi]

All right. Well, we start this hour with a change that could hit millions of seniors in their wallet. So millions of seniors are about to pay more for their prescription drugs. So for the past two years, the federal government has helped insurers keep Medicare Part D premiums low, which started under President Joe Biden. But the programs at the end of this year are going to expire. So starting in 2027, many seniors will pay more for their prescription drugs. The Trump administration says the program has. Was always meant to be temporary and that insurers no longer need the federal funding. So just something to look out for if you are a senior and you are on Medicare Part D. That funding is ending at the end of the year.

[Hilarious]

America will always considered ghetto to me until we get free, until we get universal health care. Okay, you got 70. The 70 to 80 countries who provide universal health care with a care is free. So America will always be ghetto and cannot be considered the land of milk and honey as long as, you know, people crazy can't afford to have good health care.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but not even that. I don't know if you guys been going to the doctors recently or you have kids, but it seems like the CO pays have been going up in price. The CO pay seemed expensive. Usually it was a $20. 25, whatever it may be. But now it seems. Seems like we're paying a whole lot more in medical procedures, to the point where I'm like, do I need to go to the doctor for this?

[Hilarious]

And insurance companies be acting like they don't want to pay. I don't know if we don't. We don't cover that. How the hell you don't cover that?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I've been getting that, too. We only cover a little bit of it. And it's been getting expensive.

[Mimi]

Yeah, it's. It's definitely getting expensive. And now to the latest in the death of no one. Well, some new legal filings show no. No one. Wells, his mother. Mother is taking another step in her search for answers. So Christine Wansley, her legal team has suspended. Oh, my goodness.

[Hilarious]

You having a stroke,

[Mimi]

Christina? Christine Wansley, her legal team has to speak. Oh, my gosh. Subpoenaed Snapchat, Meta Tick Tock, and Life360. Now they're seeking Nolan's medical or his messages, his photos, his videos, his location data. Data to help piece together his final hours. So the subpoenas come after Ms. Wansley. She said that she believes that the messages on his Snapchat content, they. They went missing. And so Nolan's phone, you know, when it was returned to his family, she said that it was missing content. And so now they're asking big social media giants, some of those companies to provide those answers. Now this case has also caught the attention of former prosecutor Nancy Grace. And during a recent interview between Nancy and Stephen a single Smith, she shared some of her findings on the investigation. Let's listen.

[Hilarious]

There were some questions about these conflicting stories coming out in the case of him staying behind to talk to a girl, a cell phone date and inconsistencies between Life3Sixty and Snapchat locations.

[Nancy Grace]

I've consulted with digital forensics experts and they say that there can be a difference between Snapchat location and live360 location and your iPhone, you know, find my iPhone location. We have to make these things jive and we may learn something nefarious or not. Now we're also being told that there was no cell coverage there. I don't believe that because the, the young man out on the boat called Seato and I could hear him just fine. So there was cell. So, so the mom was concerned. She didn't see any Snapchat or anything going on during this certain period of time. Even if you delete and you delete it from deleted and it's not stored in the cloud can still find out if something was deleted because it leaves a trail. Everything you do on your phone leaves a trail.

[Hilarious]

It's obvious that there's a huge cover up going on in the Nolan Wells case.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right?

[Hilarious]

We can all agree on that, right?

[DJ Envy]

Seems like it to me.

[Hilarious]

If something nefarious didn't happen, then whoever is doing this investigation is completely incompetent. But what's going to be interesting, interesting to watch is how eventually all those kids will break. They will break. You will, you will not be able to live with whatever happened to Nolan Wells. You just won't be able to. Whether you caused it or you know what happened, I guarantee you your little 18 year old, 17 year old mind will not be able to live with the guilt of it. You will eventually break and we'll find out what happened.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, somebody's seen something. There's no way that nobody's seen nothing.

[Mimi]

That's a good point because another detail in the investigation involves reports that Nolan had been drinking and that had long headline alone is getting a lot of pushback. Nancy Grace, she weighed in on why she believes that that shouldn't overshadow the bigger questions. As you guys are speaking up, let's listen.

[Nancy Grace]

We are being told today Nolan was drinking heavily. Okay. Even Somebody drunk can be a homicide victim. Even somebody drunk can be a victim of an accident. That means nothing to me. Everybody out there was drinking. So what? I'm going to be angry because the victim was drink king again? This is not a personality contest. It's not a moral test about his character. I do know this. He went to Horn island with them. They came back alive. He's dead. I'm going to investigate. You're darn right I'm going to investigate. And my wish is that his friends are innocent and that this was an accident. But it will be a cold day in H E double L that I endorse closing down an investigation because somebody said I had nothing to do with that. Am I supposed to go, oh, okay, case closed. Forget about it and go tell the mom we're shutting down the investigation. Cuz so and so said he had nothing to do with it.

[Hilarious]

Nah, just be patient. I guarantee you one of these kids will eventually break their conscience. Won't be able to handle it. No matter how much they're coached, no matter how much they're told to be quiet, they will break eventually. And, Nolan, I want you to haunt everybody until they do.

[Mimi]

Yeah. And one last quick development in the case. TMZ is reporting that Bart Edmondson Jr. Who was supposedly a friend of Melan Wells, was on a different boat that day. But he has hired an attorney after online speculation LinkedIn to no one's death. His attorney calls those claims wholly fabricated and says Edmondson Jr. Has fully cooperated with investigators by providing access to his phone, GPS records and the boat. But his attorney also says that they have been receiving credible death threats and that the FBI has been notified. But again, the investigation into Nolan's death, it remains ongoing.

[Hilarious]

Just be patient. Somebody knows something. And once again, one of those kids will eventually break.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yep.

[Mimi]

So we will continue to watch that, and that is your front page news. We do talk about more of this on front page, so tune in wherever you get your podcasts.

[DJ Envy]

All right now when we come back. Thank you, Mimi. John Quies will be joining us. He has a new project that comes out this Friday, Friday Mood two. And we're gonna talk to him next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.

[Hilarious]

Yes, indeed.

[DJ Envy]

Jaques.

[Jacques]

Welcome back, brother. What up, man?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[Jess Hilarious]

Good morning.

[Jacques]

Feeling good. Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

How the baby? Had a baby.

[Jacques]

He good. He in the next room. I thought he was gonna Be in here with me. But he knocked.

[DJ Envy]

Knocked out too early for me.

[Jess Hilarious]

Too early?

[Jacques]

Yeah, too early. Snowman sleep.

[Hilarious]

You like being just alone with the baby?

[Jacques]

Yeah. I mean, I ain't by myself. Well, I'm by myself now, but I mean, I got a crew, you know, he love everybody. And I got my auntie and myself sister. Got you them out here in New York too.

[Jess Hilarious]

How is that working with the baby on the road with you?

[Jacques]

It's dope. Cause Snow, he know how to roll like, he easy.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Jacques]

So like super easy. I'm talking about getting him dressed. He cool when we rolling through the day. He cool. And like I said, I got my. My nephew and niece here.

[Jess Hilarious]

[Jacques]

How long you tell for? I'll be here till Friday when the album drop. Okay. Yeah, Rolling.

[Hilarious]

How you feel about this new album, man?

[Jacques]

I feel very confident in it, bro.

[Hilarious]

Okay.

[Jacques]

Like, I think it's. I think people gonna really like it. I think people gonna put me up, honestly. I think people gonna put me up after a drop. I think they're gonna be like, okay, I'm rocking with Jacques. Like, he. He really put out a great body of work. I think it's something to compete with, honestly.

[Hilarious]

Do you think. You know, remember a few years ago when you called yourself the king R B? When you look back at it now, do you think that statement helped or hurt? Because every time you drop a project, we got a high ass expectation the music might even be good. But you'd be like, this ain't no king R B.

[Jacques]

Right.

[Hilarious]

You know what I mean?

[Jacques]

I think, I think it's both, you know what I'm saying? Because if for one, what it did positive was everybody knew my name, know my name, you know what I'm saying from that and the negative that came from it was the expectation, like you say. And I wouldn't say just the expectation because I always make great music. I would say just people just. They wanted to critique everything, you know, because I said that. So they're like, wait, it just put, like that was a negative. And.

[Hilarious]

But we overanalyzed the music.

[Jacques]

Yeah. So. But I don't, But I don't regret it. You know what I'm saying? I love, like, I love it. You know what I'm saying? Like, I love it, but I feel like with this album, because, you know, like, I say, like I said this yesterday, like, just like what Kanye said, the game, they love you, hate you, love you. I feel like I'M finna come back to my love you state. So I feel like everybody about to love me again with this album.

[Mimi]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

Are you talking about everything that the

[Charlamagne Tha God]

last couple of years.

[Jacques]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Your child.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Breakups, all that accuse me?

[Jacques]

Yeah, it's really like that. That's why I'm confident in it because I know people love when you express yourself in the music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Right.

[Jacques]

You know what I'm saying? I know a lot of things been going on publicly, but I feel like I'm talking about it in the music, which is my outlet, you know, So I feel, I feel super good about it.

[DJ Envy]

Did you have to play for anybody that you're talking about? Did you have to play it for.

[Jacques]

Nah, I ain't have nobody to play it for it.

[DJ Envy]

Nah, just nah.

[Jacques]

No approvals, you know what I'm saying? No approvals. I don't, I don't, I don't gotta do that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Jacques]

You know what I'm saying? I'm a single father, you know what I'm saying? I don't gotta get nobody approved, you know what I'm saying? So I just, I'm doing my thing, you feel me?

[Jess Hilarious]

But the last time we had you here, you was talking about marriage, talking about, you know, giving your last name, name to the lady and everything.

[Jacques]

I'm talking about being hood rich.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. Yup.

[Jacques]

Super rich now.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's right.

[State Farm Announcer (alternate)]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

What, what, what happened? What got in the way of that?

[Jacques]

Man? I just think life, honestly, you know what I'm saying? I think like, you know, of course, God don't make no mistakes, you know what I'm saying? And I'm so big on my career, you know what I'm saying? I'm big on my career. Like I still got things I want to accomplish, you know what I'm saying? And I think it's going to take someone to be with me who could just understand, like time. Time is a big thing, you know, Time is a major thing. And like I say, I'm still not where I want to be yet, you know?

[Jess Hilarious]

So do you feel like you need to be at whatever your level?

[Jacques]

I think, I think really, I think really like this, like even right now, like if I try to talk to people or do whatever I'm doing, like, you know what I'm saying? It's like, I ain't like yesterday girl got mad at me because it's like I'm doing a press, I'm doing press and I got my son, you know what I'm saying? So it's like it's gonna be hard for me to talk on the phone.

[Jess Hilarious]

I don't have time.

[Jacques]

But I ain't trying to be funny. I'm dead for real. I really ain't got time. So it's like when you think I'm being funny, I'm being real, and I got it, and I don't like that. I don't like feeling like I'm doing something wrong when I know I'm doing something right. So I think that's the space I'm in. I think I'm. I want love. But it's like, I think with me focused on me, and not selfishly focused on me, but really just doing what I gotta do and trying to accomplish what I gotta accomplish. Work, I feel like I ain't really got time. Now. If somebody come in my life and really understand that and really want to get down with that, then go cool. You know what I'm saying? But besides that, I ain't. It ain't gonna really work right now.

[Jess Hilarious]

Gotcha. Okay. And when was that moment that you arrived to that truth? Right? Because we thought you was gonna get on one knee. You know what I'm saying?

[Jacques]

I didn't get on one knee. I just didn't make it to the wedding.

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You dig it? I can't tell whether on one knee, whether you standing up, Jack, we.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You don't know the difference, stupid.

[Jess Hilarious]

Shut up.

[Caller/Listener]

Stop.

[Jess Hilarious]

But no, like, when did you arrive at that? Did you have a conversation like, look, listen, I know what it looked like.

[Jacques]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

[Hilarious]

You.

[Jacques]

You mean, like, how did that end?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Jacques]

Oh, no, no, no. I was on tour with Dejan. She left. You know what I'm saying? So that's how it happened. You know what I'm saying? I was on the road, and then I came back home. The house was empty.

[Hilarious]

What did you do?

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, my God.

[Hilarious]

What did you do?

[Jacques]

I was just like that.

[Hilarious]

No, no, what did you do to call it a leave? What did you do?

[Jacques]

Oh, what did I do?

[Jess Hilarious]

What was the incident?

[Jacques]

You remember the tour stuff? It was basically like, you know, I was trying to separate everything, you know what I'm saying, and things. She wanted it to be together.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, yeah, yeah. When he said he's talking about when he was on tour.

[Jacques]

When I went on tour, Dej,

[DJ Envy]

there was rumors that. That you were with Days too much, and she was upset that you were with. Exactly.

[Jacques]

And I wouldn't let her come to the. Be a part of, like, what we was Doing creatively Was you cheating with me? Nah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, okay, okay.

[Jacques]

But it. But that was the whole issue. It seemed like that because our project is f. A friend zone. So it's like we put out a perspective of love as friends. So it. It. It becomes a thing in a person's mind that you're with. If they don't understand, like, could this be true? And of course, if you separate it, you know what I'm saying, if you separate the two, if you're not letting these two people, like, it's gonna seem fishy. So I understand that, but.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, I was gonna say, but you did the separation. You had nothing going on with that.

[Jacques]

Well, I was trying to introduce them, but it was never right.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay.

[Jacques]

You know what I'm saying? Then when they did get introduced, I wasn't smelling it, you know what I'm saying? Like, it was cool, but it wasn't the right. The right time. Like, it was like she popped up at a video shoot.

[Hilarious]

Sounds very fishy.

[Jacques]

Nah, it wasn't fishy.

[DJ Envy]

It looks like you pick business, your work exactly. Over your fiance.

[Jacques]

So it's like. Exactly. So now, as a man, 32, looking back, I'll be like, dang, I do got some things where I'm like, dang, I could have did this. You know what I'm saying? I could have did this. But like I said, I know God don't make no mistakes. So it's just all a part of the journey, you know what I mean?

[Hilarious]

But we do.

[Jacques]

We do, but he fix it.

[Hilarious]

Why didn't you fight for it, though?

[Jacques]

Like, I did behind the scenes. But it's like, you gotta think, like, behind the scenes, I'm fighting, but, man, when you gotta. It's just a lot to come with that, you know what I'm saying? Like, when you trying to fight and then you got a child involved, you know what I'm saying? So.

[Jess Hilarious]

And then she also likes to go on the Internet.

[Chris (Airtasker Announcer)]

Yeah.

[Jacques]

So it's tough, you know what I'm saying? So me, I've decided that I'm not doing that no more, you know what I'm saying? Because I got love and respect for her. I always will. You know what I'm saying? Like, no matter what she say about me or whatever she do or whatever people think, you know? Of course, everybody. We all see everything, like, I told you, snow in the next room, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, I just. Like, we're. I think now we're in a good space, you know? Snow. Birthday next month, August 9th. He's gonna be two. We having a party together. You know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

What's your relationship? Your relationship is good.

[Jacques]

I mean, I. I try to make it as best as possible. I'm not. I'm not the one that's trying to be like. You know what I'm saying? So I try to make as good as possible. Like I said, we having this birthday party together, so that's gonna be good. You know, trying to just make it good for. For him.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Jacques]

You know what I'm saying? Like, trying to be two adults that can coexist.

[Jess Hilarious]

So at least that's good. Y' all trying to work on a co parenting relationship, because y' all gonna have to do that anyway.

[Jacques]

Yeah, we gotta do that for life. Even past 18.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Exactly.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yep. Yep. That's how I go.

[Hilarious]

You feel like you let Deion Sanders, though?

[Jacques]

You want to be honest?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No.

[Jacques]

Yeah, in a way, a little bit. But no, but because I know he understand me. He come from where I come from, you know, So I know it's probably hurt a little bit, like, dang, man, I really wanted this, but I know he understand me as a man. I ain't talk to him, but I know he. He did. He digged me.

[Hilarious]

Oh, so y' all haven't had a conversation about it or nothing?

[Jacques]

No, not, not. Not. I ain't talked to Dion in a minute. Last time I seen Dion was last year at his. At his crib for Memorial Day.

[Jess Hilarious]

And you named your babies. No. Daisy, after your grandmother.

[Jacques]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, that's what's up. So was it. Was it any fight with that?

[Jacques]

No, no. So. And then people was confused with that. So he was always gonna have my last name. She just didn't want him to be a junior. So when people was like, oh, Jacques proposed so he. Snow, can get his last name, it's like, nah, he was never just gonna be a Sanders. That was never our plan. I'm glad I finally said that, because the Internet, you know, they'll make up whatever they want to make up. Like, this boy got on the knee because he wanted the last names. Like, no, that was always established. I wanted him to be a junior. And she was like, no. Yeah, that's what it was. So I was like, I name him Snow then.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Jacques]

She was like, bet. Let's do it.

[DJ Envy]

I was gonna ask, how has having him changed your life?

[Jacques]

Oh, man, it changed my life a lot. You gotta think, bruh. Like, I gotta be more responsible. You have been on the road with me before, you know what I'm saying? It's like, I can't do all the things I used to do because now I gotta think for him. And I. And I remember before I had snow, I had. I had got myself together because I was like, I don't want nobody to judge my son off what his daddy do. You dig what I'm saying? I'm like, I don't want them to be like, well, your dad. It's like, nah, I wanted to tighten up so he can walk outside and know, like, oh, boy, your daddy one of them. Like, you know what I'm saying? He got it together, you feel me? So it changed me completely. I'm still who I am, though. I'm still. But I'm more responsible, you know what I mean? Like, I gotta think for two, you know what I'm saying, Bro, I have to wake up, get him dressed, get myself dressed, feed him, feed like, everything for him first, you know? And I love it, though, bro. It made me like who I need to be.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Jacques]

You know what I'm saying?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. And then also conscious of who you let in and not around you, too.

[Jacques]

Oh, yeah, most definitely. Like, yeah, no, Like, I ain't playing by my son. Like, they already know that. Like, I only play about my folks, period. Like, everybody know that, especially my son.

[Nancy Grace]

Like.

[Jacques]

Like, yeah, and I ain't got nothing but good people around him. Like, I always keep them soldiers with him. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I like for him to see, like, you know what I'm saying? See that? Like, and I love him to see me doing my thing because it's dope. Because I'd be like, man, snow, sing something. Yeah, try to start singing, you know what I'm saying? We be doing so much. I got him boxing, doing the boxing stuff, you know, we play. Try to throwing the football, the balls and all the little type of stuff. It's just. It's just dope, man. It's fun.

[Jess Hilarious]

When you tell him sing, he be real talk.

[Jacques]

I got some videos I show you.

[DJ Envy]

I was gonna say, you know, you raise him in the public eye.

[Jacques]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Do you have any fear for that?

[Jacques]

Nah. I mean, well, now I can understand where to come from, because, like, man, everybody can identify him, you know what I'm saying? So me, it's like, I feel like he's protected, though. I feel like I know God got him, you know what I'm saying? Like, I know that, like, when I pray, I'll be like, man, I know God, I know you gonna protect him, you know what I'm saying? It's only so much I could do. I'm gonna go to bat for him, but I know you got him, you know what I'm saying? So it's like, I'm not gonna shelter Snow, you know what I'm saying? Even when it's time to go to school, I want him to be around his people. People, you know what I'm saying? Like, he ain't even got to be, you know what I'm saying? I want him to be around his people. So he's like, you know, he had it. Yeah, but I. But I definitely think he gonna. I definitely know God gonna protect me so I don't have no fear.

[Hilarious]

I saw you go viral recently for something, man, I thought it was dope. What I told. When you told Adrian Broner.

[Jacques]

Oh, and I slapped them.

[Hilarious]

No, when you told him that you don't like the gay ab.

[Jacques]

Oh, yeah.

[Hilarious]

Like, when he keep it playing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, yeah. I had to keep it real.

[Jacques]

That my boy. You gotta think I done knew AB since he was, like, doing his thing.

[Mimi]

Thing.

[Jacques]

Like, so I see the difference. It's like, if y' all see me one day, like, what the hell, bro? Come on, bro. Like, you got real love for me, you're gonna tell me I got real love for ab. That's my brother. So it's like I've been calling on FaceTime when they've been locked in the gym. I just be smiling when I talk to him. Like, I feel like it worked when I said, yeah, bro, I see you doing your thing. Cause they're my dog. I want all my dogs to be up. I'm proud of him, though. Like, I know. And then even a lot of people, when I did the stream, it was like, jack, we ain't no hey, Ab. I couldn't understand. I was like, what? This is my brother. Like. Cause I was like, man, streaming is dope. You know what I'm saying? I think he should definitely stay on stream. But I also think if he, like, what he doing now, he tightening up, you know what I'm saying? And we getting to watch it. So it's like, imagine if AB get back to boxing, doing his thing, and he streaming now. You got you done doubled up, you know what I'm saying? So that's what I was saying. I wasn't saying forget streaming. I'm saying, forget everything that you doing now on it when you wild and have a good time. But it's like, let's get back to who you are. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? Because this generation don't even know how great you are. They just know you'd be funny. You've been funny if, you know, Ab been the same. He the same person. But I just wanted to see him get back on his stuff. That's all it was.

[DJ Envy]

I love the fact that he got back. I mean, he was so happy when he got that big first check.

[Jacques]

Yeah, exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, I could pay.

[DJ Envy]

The first thing he could have said,

[Charlamagne Tha God]

like, he was like, yeah, I'm gonna

[DJ Envy]

pay all my baby mama. Make sure my kids. Yeah, make sure my brother.

[Jacques]

That's how you know he a real one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Jacques]

You feel me? Because soon as you get some paper, you ready to do what you're for your folks. That's why I brought my boy. Like, you know what I'm saying?

[Hilarious]

What was something you had to humble about yourself as you've matured, not just as an artist, but just as a man, too?

[Jacques]

I think I've always been humble, to be honest. You know, I think I've always been humble. I think I've always just been confident as a person and artist. I think that's just been me. I just think people got a misconception of me and want me to humble myself. But I don't believe that I should humble myself when it comes to my work.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Jacques]

Because it's like, why? Like, why would I not? I don't think I'm. And, well, this is the thing now. This is what people should know. I don't think I'm better than not nobody as a person, you know what I'm saying? I wasn't raised like that. I don't think I'm better than nobody now when it comes to us as artists, I really wouldn't even sit up here and say, like, I'm better than bruh. I don't even do that. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I seem better than Bruh. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I just be like, this, what I do, and I think I'm great at it. I'm the King R and B, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not saying that to say, like, you suck or you suck. You know what I'm saying? That's not what I was. That's not my aim. Like, and I really want people to understand that. Like, even the King R and B thing, to go back to it, even though it was years ago, I said of my journey generation. So that could have xed out so many other conversations that was being had, because it's like, it would. I would have respected it more if they was arguing the generation that I was talking about instead of themselves. If they were like, let's talk about what he talking about.

[Hilarious]

You ain't better than Marvin Gaye.

[Jacques]

You see what I'm saying? But even with that, bro, as soon as I said I was king rb, I was with R. Kelly. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, I didn't even get to show the world that, like, I was about to get ready to come out with R. Kelly. What you mean when I said I was the king of R B? R. Kelly flew me to shit Chicago.

[Hilarious]

I thought Kelly was locked up.

[Jacques]

He wasn't. Nah, I was with Kels right before he got locked up.

[Hilarious]

Oh, wow.

[Jacques]

Remember when the. When the show. When this thing air. He was still out.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, the doctor.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, yeah, he was still out.

[Jacques]

Yeah, I was in the shot with Kel's working.

[Jess Hilarious]

Damn. It's been up.

[Jacques]

You know what I'm saying? And. And first thing, man. First thing Kell said when he walked in the studio. King R and B, right?

He was just like, hey, don't let nobody change you. He was like, man, you're an alien. He was like, it ain't a lot of people like that. He was like, the way you know how to lay your stuff down and just the way you do the music. And he was like, it's not a lot of people like that. You know what I'm saying? So he was like, you know, I don't talk to you in a minute. I'll talk to you soon. But keep going. What we.

[Jacques]

Well, of course, when it happened, everybody was like, you can't do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You can't.

[Jacques]

You know what I'm saying? So it was like, all right, bet.

[DJ Envy]

The king of R B thing. Do you hate that now? Cuz that's what a lot of people just recognize you as.

[Jacques]

Nah, I love it.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes.

[Jacques]

Because it's like when you say, like somebody say King, R and B, somebody like you talking about Jacques. So it's like my name gonna always come. I swear to God, if you go outside right now, like King rb, somebody gonna say, that boy, talking about Jack. No ride of how you feel.

[Hilarious]

Nobody doing that now. Come on, y' all gotta stop.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Shut up.

[Jacques]

Nah, we can play over here. Like, for real, man.

[Jess Hilarious]

Look, what is the hardest part of fatherhood Nobody prepared you for. Nobody told you about it.

[Jacques]

Hardest part of fatherhood that nobody prepared me for that. You gotta fight to be a father. That was the heart. That was. Nobody told me. I didn't know you had to fight to be a good father. I know the good fathers. You gotta fight to be that you're not. Just like you have to fight to be a good father. I had to fight to stay in my son life, for real, you know what I'm saying? I went and got my paperwork, you

[Jess Hilarious]

know what I'm saying?

[Jacques]

Put like, dang near put myself on child support just so I can have rules, so I can have my time. So I ain't gotta go through that. Like, I want a stress free life.

[DJ Envy]

So you put yourself on child support.

[Jacques]

I mean, I took it to the court.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah.

[Jacques]

Like when y' all was saying all that stuff on Internet, I'm like, let's just do it the adult way. You know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

What was the one rumor about you that was completely false that you hate? If there was one,

[Jacques]

that I'm not a good father. That's it.

[DJ Envy]

Why that one bother you the most?

[Jacques]

Because I'm a great father. I do everything for my son. It's a mis. It's a misconception that Deion Sanders do everything for my son. And I don't. I do everything for my son. So no disrespect to him or nobody, but it's my job to do that. And I do do that willingly.

[Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Jacques]

Like, I love to. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not one of them dads to just pay child support and be like, hey man, go get it from your mom. I. You wouldn't even know I do that because I'd still do everything for my son.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Gotcha.

[Jacques]

You know what I mean?

[Chris (Airtasker Announcer)]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

What's the fear that you have about raising your son in the public eye with cameras around and everything because you got him on the road with you?

[Jacques]

I ain't got no fear. Like I said, I know God gonna protect him. This like he born in, you know what I'm saying? I sworn in. You see what I'm saying? It's like he just in it. Like there's no fear. For real. Like I, like I said I'm gonna keep him around he people. Luckily, God is good. A lot of my partners, we had kids at the same time. My sisters. So he gonna grow up with them so they'll be straight. And then he got cousins on his mama's side too. Like, he got a great foundation over there too. So he got both sides. Yeah. I really love, love his. What he has.

[Jess Hilarious]

Foundation.

[Jacques]

Yeah, I love his foundation. It's so dope. When I look at like, bro, you don't even know how blessed you are.

[Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Jacques]

And it's so dope because you just. He loves so strong. Like snow love. You know, kids, love is the purest. Cause they don't know who you are.

[State Farm Announcer (alternate)]

Yeah.

[Jacques]

You know, they just love you. And that's, that's just, that's just. It make me feel so strong. Like it just done did so much for me. You know what I'm saying? Real Talk.

[Jess Hilarious]

Does he change the way you make music?

[Jacques]

Does he change the way I make music? I think he's changed my conversation. Yeah, he changed my conversation. I'm still gonna talk about what I talk about, but he gave me more things to talk about. Like I said, I feel like now I can relate to people on a different level now because I got a kid. So now we can get back to talking. For a little while. I felt disconnected. Cause I'm like, man, I ain't. They probably look at me like I'm a little. I ain't got no kids. I ain't got nothing going. Like, you feel me? Like, now. Let me. Now it's like, okay, we sitting at the table again. Watch out. Yeah, I like that.

[Hilarious]

When I hear you talk about your kid, when I hear you talk about, you know, the mother of your child, I hear the vulnerability.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[Hilarious]

Is that gonna come across in the music?

[Jacques]

Yeah, it's all the way there. I'm being all the way there. Like she said, Jess said, Accuse Me. That's my next single, and that's me being vulnerable, you know, just talking, like, about what's really. What it really doing. I tried to paint a picture for y', all, too, like, with the visuals and everything that I'm finna put out, you know, I shot a short film also that I'm getting ready put to put out, you know, for the rollout of Mood, too. And it's super dope. It's not based on a true story, but it's just a situation that'll make you emotionally attached to the album.

[Hilarious]

Do you think men today are afraid to be vulnerable and emotionally honest in their music?

[Jacques]

I think it's coming back. I think it's coming back. I think it's coming back. I think real feelings is on the way back because I think people tired of, like, being shelled in, like. Because you can't. If nobody expressing themselves, then you feel like you can't. You know what I'm saying? Cause it's like, when I was growing up, like, I was saying this the other day. I was talking to me and Drez was talking. Matter of fact, we was talking about, like, music and artists and how, like, we grew up and songs was, like, it shaped us. I was talking about. We was actually talking about the verses they just did with the Game and yg. I'm like, man, the game hated to love it. That's one of the songs that really, like, shaped my life. You feel what I'm saying? Like, listening to that song and so. But I'm like, they was being vulnerable, you know what I'm saying? He was talking about being confused, his mom kissing a girl, all that type of stuff. You know what I'm saying? I was like, dang, that's vulnerability. But it also lets you know, like, man, I can express myself or whatever I'm thinking. You know what I'm saying? So I feel like now the music is. Is gonna get back to that because it's going. It's gonna help the world. If everybody be able to express theyself. I think the world will be a better place when people be shelled in. They do crazy stuff.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Jacques]

You know what I'm saying?

[Jess Hilarious]

You said you talking to trees.

[Jacques]

Yeah, we feel tight.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what's up.

[Jacques]

Yeah, like.

[Jess Hilarious]

Like, you know, tight. Like what kind of tight? We still.

[Jacques]

We still down. We rock.

[DJ Envy]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's what's up. All right. It should be looking good, you know.

[Jacques]

Hell, yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

For sure. Yeah. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Well, let's get into some of the records off the album, man.

[Hilarious]

[DJ Envy]

What you want to hear off the album?

[Jess Hilarious]

I wish Accused Me was out now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

[State Farm Announcer (alternate)]

Shout out to Jeff.

[DJ Envy]

Well, the album comes out this Friday. Make sure you get it in Mood 2.

[Jacques]

Yes, sir.

[DJ Envy]

And we appreciate you. I will say one thing about Jacques. I was one of those people that thought he was an.

[Chris (Airtasker Announcer)]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

Because he got the sunglasses on all the time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He king of arms.

[DJ Envy]

But when we were on the road with each other, you realize he's a totally different person.

[Jacques]

That's when we locked in.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, we locked in. You could just tell, like, just chill. Like, it was like a family. Like, we one leave, we all leave one go. And it was just. You just realize who he is.

[Jess Hilarious]

Genuine person.

[DJ Envy]

So I understand why people see that, but he's. He's a different human being. So congratulations on everything. The album this Friday. Yo, I was checking out the Sprite Living track list the other day and immediately started arguing with myself. It was wild, because records like California Love, Still Not a Player and Back Then are so much more than words in a song. They're moments, they're memories, they're snapshots of where hip hop was and where it's going. That's what Sprite gets. They've spent over 40 years celebrating artists who define the culture, and now they're turning the conversation over to the fans. And if you're like me, the real fun is getting into the why? Why does this song matter? Why does this line hit? Why did it change hip hop for forever? Now, I can't promise you any answers, but with Sprite you'll have a good time figuring it out. Check out the full Sprite Living Track List and break down the stories behind your favorite bars@livingtracklist. Genius.com this is the Sprite Living Track List. Obey your thirst Meet Chris.

You know One thing I had to unlearn was treating my textured hair like everybody else's. For years I followed all of the popular advice, tried the trends and used products that worked for other people. But my hair was still dry. It was breaking and it just wasn't retaining any length. Not the length I wanted anyway. It was so frustrating because I felt like I was doing everything right but still not seeing any wrong results. Everything changed when I realized my hair needed products made specifically for textured hair. That's why I love Baskin Lather. I've been especially enjoying the stimulating scalp and hair balm because it helps me nourish and hydrate my hair without feeling like it's greasy. It's made with 100% natural ingredients, helps reduce breakage, adds shine and supports healthier looking hair over time. I also love the hydrating hair Mist which helps keep my soft hair moisturized and helps fight dryness and frizz. And and I love the story behind the brand. Baskin Lather is a black owned and family operated company created by founder Shayna and her mother when they developed their own hair care line solutions. When a younger sister was told that her hair may never grow back. Today her hair reaches down to her hips, honey. Looking at the before and the after results on the site, it's easy to see why so many people swear by these products.

You've been working in the garage with your dad every week, Monday to Sunday, trying to get the old school up and running. Today after all the hard work, y' all finally finished it. So you have that feeling of accomplishment. You did it. Then your dad throws you the keys. He says those three magic words. All your sons, son. Yep. Same car that belonged to your grandpa and that your dad helped him fix. It's yours. Three generations right there keeping the tradition alive. But if you ask dad to really keep the tradition going, you need to get insurance. And you already know you need to get State Farm. Because your agent, well, he gets tradition too.

[Jacques]

[DJ Envy]

Let's get to the latest for Lauren.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Jess Hilarious]

Cuz you particularly are bringing the energy to mainstream radio with black radio.

[Hilarious]

Yes, sources trust me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you hear that exclusive Lauren, I'm

[Lauren LaRosa]

the home girl that knows a little bit about everything and everything.

[Hilarious]

She be having the latest on things you ask.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's the question that need to be

[Charlamagne Tha God]

answered on the Breakfast Club.

[Jess Hilarious]

If little brown girls look at you

[Charlamagne Tha God]

and go, I want to be like

[Hilarious]

you ll cool baby, talk to me.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, y'.

[Mimi]

All.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So a conversation that is still ongoing that started here at the Breakfast Club. The uncle Uncle Murder Tony Ao Memphis Bleak conversation. So Uncle Murder and Tony. Well, for those of you guys who don't remember, let's back it up a bit. So Memphis Bleak was here on the Breakfast Club. And we asked him about the back and forth that happens with him and Tony Yayo. Let's take a listen to Memphis Bleak on the breakfast club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If 50 said one year niggas will be in a shelter.

[Jacques]

They shouldn't be allowed to talk about us when you literally are a dependent. Can't even wear their jury without they boss.

[State Farm Announcer (alternate)]

Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Show me a picture of Yayo walking

[Jacques]

around with his chain, the passport chain

[Charlamagne Tha God]

without 50 cent bit.

[Hilarious]

He said, you and Jay's friendship is just more was more business. I've never seen it.

[Jacques]

Well, him and 50 friendship is just financial.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So that went down here and then Uncle Murder Antonio responded too bleak when they sat down on million dollars worth of game with Gilly and wallow.

[Hilarious]

If 50 stop with for a year, it'll be over. I would be in a trap. What is you talking about? If I can't I'm a still a street. I'm not on Jay Z, Nas and them level.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's cool.

[Hilarious]

I was making money before. Like be like yo. Yo was a pack pumper. No, I was getting money on 1, 3, 4 and God brew.

[Chris (Airtasker Announcer)]

Let me say this.

[Jacques]

As far as do got a successful Weed dispensary business. And I know Bleak said he got a restaurant. I don't mind. We can do this, too. We could go, let's see what you made last month. And we can show we made last month. And we could continue to do month for month to see who's making more money as far as that business is concerned. And we can show houses, too. I got a pool. We can show who houses fly up. I gotta deal with Empire. I get paid to put out music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Don't depend on 50, but getting money with 50.

[Jacques]

And I salute that, and I appreciate that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, a verse I ever like is the one that Jay Z wrote.

[Jacques]

I ain't never like a Bleak verse that he wrote by himself. Ain't no Memphis Bleak fans like that neither.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So when that came out, Memphis Bleak responded on X and he just reposted the video and said he made my point crystal, crystal clear. Talking about Tony Yayo. I'm talking about going back to doing whatever he was doing before he was doing music or whatever. So now to bring it forward, just some background for you guys. Uncle Murder and Tony Yayo were sitting down with DJ Spin King, and they brought back up the interview. Let's take a listen.

[Hilarious]

As for Memphis Bleak, that comeback on Twitter, that was whack.

[Jacques]

When you say things in these interviews, like when Bleak was on the Breakfast Club, and he's saying things like, if 50 stop with these nicks, they'll be in the show.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who's N is this?

[Jacques]

Yayo and murder in 2026 right now. So when you saying like that, you taking a shot at me, and I'm

[Charlamagne Tha God]

definitely gonna shoot back now.

[Hilarious]

Murder, Think about this, right? When to everybody, fifth Health.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We could name Casanova that was signed to him. Shout out to.

[Hilarious]

My brother

[Charlamagne Tha God]

used to tell us, yo, y' all treat me good over here. Definitely he was getting in clubs. He didn't have to.

[Hilarious]

You had to sneak in a Jay Z brunch.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He said, come on, you.

[Hilarious]

You know, Free Casanova. But it's the truth. That was your artist.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And 50 was looking out for him.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. So. And people were basically trying to figure out, like, why Uncle Murder did, like. Like, went out about it the way that he did. Because they felt like Tony wasn't. I mean, Tony, Memphis Bleak wasn't speaking to Uncle Murder, but I think it's the plural on the N word that got him. Who was.

[Jess Hilarious]

Who had to sneak in the brunch.

[DJ Envy]

He said Casanova had to sneak into the Roc Nation brunch. I'll be honest, I, I, it's gone too far for them. It's, it's, it's podcast beef though. Both of those brothers do great. Memphis Bleak does well without Jay. I know. Uncle Murder Antonio do well without Fifth. So it's all right. Move on.

[Jess Hilarious]

Going back to the block.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I think it's just because we forgot to, we were talking about this earlier. It's just the content of it all. Like they're on their show talking about it, they're on other shows talking about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, they both do.

[DJ Envy]

But all the individuals are doing well.

[Jess Hilarious]

But look what we're doing right now, you know. So you subscribe to both of their podcasts. What was the name of Bleak podcast

[Hilarious]

on the Black Effect? Iheartradio Podcast Network and Real Report.

[DJ Envy]

And real.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, now moving on, shifting gears. So Clarissa Shields, she is out and about right now. You guys know she's promoting her fight that she has in Atlanta, August 15th.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[State Farm Announcer]

What?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. No, nothing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh yeah. So she's out and about right now. And while she's, while she's out and she is doing all these press runs, she stopped by a radio show in Atlanta with Young Jock and she Shan.

[Hilarious]

That ain't just no radio show. That's the streets morning takeover. Young Jock and Ms. Shan. Some radio show,

[Lauren LaRosa]

you know, like I for five with young Jock and Ms. Shan. And they, they were having a conversation about all things. Talk to her about boxing, all the things. But they brought up the her and Papoo. So take a listen.

[Jess Hilarious]

How much longer are you willing to be in a relationship with somebody's husband? Because at the end of the day, that's what people.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, pause.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, pause.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Cuz that's not okay. That post file for divorce, y' all hate to say that word, but it's the word that's out there. He filed for divorce because he's serious about me. I'm not with somebody's husband.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay?

[Lauren LaRosa]

And if you're going to call him person husband, make sure you call her his wife and also her hold her accountable for what she's doing in her life because she happy who she's big about. So don't make it seem like it's just one sided. I'm not with somebody's husband. I'm with the man who filed for divorce, who's serious about me, who has done things for me that I've done for him. So that's not what it is.

[Hilarious]

First of all, your mouth. Hold on, I need to say something. Y' all know I love Clarissa Shields. Drop on the clues bomb. But I love me some Mission too, has been one of my favorite radio personalities for a long time. I done said this before, like since the days of Wendy Williams.

[Caller/Listener]

That's.

[Hilarious]

That's how long me and Mission known each other. That was great.

[Jacques]

No, that was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was. That was.

[Hilarious]

I'm just telling you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was.

[DJ Envy]

It took a little hard too, cuz you're talking to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Drop a bomb for one time.

[Hilarious]

I had a question one more time. I ain't trying to stir nothing up. I just like. I just like good radio. I'm a fan of good radio. That was good radio. Good media.

[DJ Envy]

Weird.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, just how much longer are you willing to be in a relationship with somebody's husband?

[Hilarious]

Stop right there. Hey. Hey.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was old school.

[Hilarious]

Hey, by the way, great answer from Clarissa because Clarissa could have took that another way too. She. She was very poised. Yeah. And she answered the question and gave a very good answer. She used to announce good radio right there.

[DJ Envy]

Now nobody goes that direct.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was good.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Nobody's that direct. But she.

[Hilarious]

Know what, Ms. Shanika been being that direct for years.

[Jacques]

Love it.

[Jess Hilarious]

This clip is the first time up there.

[DJ Envy]

Williams, Ms. Jones right there.

[Hilarious]

Right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

This is first time there.

[Jess Hilarious]

Because she would have been asked that question then. That's crazy. Okay.

[Hilarious]

Yeah, that was a good. That was a great question. That was great rating.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But.

[DJ Envy]

But she. She's going to continue to get that question until.

[Hilarious]

No, she's not. Anybody going to ask her that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Not like that.

[DJ Envy]

No, not like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They will.

[Hilarious]

Nobody ever has.

[Jess Hilarious]

Right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not even when.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Now when she was here. I didn't ask her that directly. Cuz every time.

[DJ Envy]

Not that directly. Yeah, they'll ask, they'll fish. They'll fish around.

[Hilarious]

I love both of them sisters though. I just want y' all to know that. But I'm also a fan. Going to be radio. I'm a fan of great radio. That was good radio. Okay, well. And, but. And it was great on both ends. Cuz all Mission did was ask a question.

[DJ Envy]

Correct.

[Hilarious]

And Clarissa answered it. Kept it moving.

[DJ Envy]

The sad thing is.

[Hilarious]

That's it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't even hear the answer.

[DJ Envy]

I just heard the question.

[Hilarious]

No, the answer was great.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I was shocked.

[Hilarious]

Definitely shocked.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It was a great answer.

[Jess Hilarious]

Any more questions like that?

[Hilarious]

She cleared up a lot. She cleared up. She cleared up a lot in her answer. She put. She put it on the record.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I didn't know that. She said that Pap filed for divorce because of her. I didn't know that. That was. Yeah, that was. I thought that they had just gotten to the point where they didn't want to be together anymore. But she was like, no, because of how serious he is and intentional about this relationship. Relationship. I mean, I'm paraphrasing. She said it was because of her.

[Hilarious]

That's the type of radio I like. I like when people talk to each other. If you got something you want to ask me, ask me and allow me to answer in front of you. Okay. Don't do the sucker stuff where you talk about me when I'm not there, and then, you know, if. If I want to reply, you get mad.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, okay. I know. We gotta wrap up. I was gonna. I think the way that Clarissa is, though, like, if she don't feel like you're trying to play with her, she don't get all. Like. She's very, like, open to a lot of the things. Like, she gets on live and talks about the thing, so. Yeah. But her fight is coming up August 15th in Atlanta. Tickets are on sale. Shout out to Clarissa. That's the latest for the hour.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, we'll get to that. Next, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's time for Donkey of the Day.

[Hilarious]

There's a bunch of donkeys out here

[Charlamagne Tha God]

in these called Donkey of the Day.

[Hilarious]

It really caught me off guard. We live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we may offend. We never would say anything. You are a donkey.

[Jess Hilarious]

That is why Charlemagne is here.

[Hilarious]

Some donkey today's just saw themselves on the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, Charlemagne, who you giving Donkey of

[Hilarious]

the Day to today? Well, Donkey of the day for Thursday, July 30th goes Dejuan Jose Arazo. Jose Herrera. He's 26. Wilbur Arnolfo Cartagena Hernandez, he's 35. And Juan Carlos Alberta Serrano. Okay, he's 29. All right. Damn it. I should have just said the Three Amigos. Okay, nine times out of ten, these guys are getting deported for the crime that they committed. See, all of them are accused of attacking a co worker with a sock full of rocks inside a hotel because they all. Well, because two of them got fired from their jobs, and one decided to quit. And they got mad at their one homie who didn't? Let's Go to Valley News Live for the report, please.

[Mimi]

Three men accused of attacking a CO worker inside a Crookston hotel room now face felony charges. Prosecutors say the men were all part of a grain bin construction crew, and

[Charlamagne Tha God]

after a workplace dispute, they went into a coworker's room.

[Mimi]

Documents say one man hit the victim

[Charlamagne Tha God]

in the head with a rock while the two others held him down and threatened him.

[Nancy Grace]

All three suspects were are charged with

[Mimi]

second degree assault with a dangerous weapon. Prosecutors may seek a tougher sentence.

[Hilarious]

See, this is one of those times where I'm gonna have to agree with ice, okay? You mad because two of y' all got fired, okay? One of y' all decided to quit and then they jumped the co worker who didn't quit. What I gotta quit for? Because two of y' all got fired and one of y' all decided to quit. What is this? Monkey see, monkey do, huh? Juan C. Juan Do. Just because everyone in this situation is named Juan doesn't mean all of. All of y' all have to do the same thing. I got bills. Baby needs shoes. Partner need bail money, okay? ICE just got them. I'm not quitting this job because two of y' all got fired and the other decided to quit. First of all, the victim said he told police that Juan Herrera, I guess he's the ringleader, threatened to kill everyone on the crew if they did not quit their job. Damn. That's just projection, okay? That's just hurt, okay? Pain that you want to now pass to me, man, F out of here, okay? I can't stand a person like this. See, I don't need my life decisions to be a group effort, okay? I don't need a crew of people to be on what I'm on in order to do something. What God has planned for me is for me. When God tells me to move, it's time for me to move, okay? When God moves you. That don't got nothing to do with me. Now, if I tell you that I'm planning to make a move and you decide, you know what, I'm going to make a move, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Cool.

[Hilarious]

You know what I'm saying? Or if you, you know, your two partners get fired and you decide to quit with them, that's on you. But I'm not about to press you and tell you I'm gonna kill everyone on the crew if they don't quit because I got fired. Why the hell would I kill somebody and spend the rest of my life in prison for a job I don't even like? Okay? For a job I just got fired from. You think I'm gonna be sitting around crying about potentially having to give fellatio to the whole dorm like ATL Tate over a job that I. That I just got fired from, that I just decided to quit? I will never understand why people just can't walk away from things they don't like. Art from things that don't like them. Okay, if I don't like something, I don't pretend to. But if. But if I decide it's time for me to leave, then I'm just gonna leave. Nothing else to discuss. If you fire me, then I just got fired, okay? It's a job. I'll get another one if I want one, but I'm damn sure not about to threaten to keep kill you than actually physically harm you over a place that just gave me the boot. Or a place that I decided I don't want to be at anymore because you just gave my boys the boot. Okay, Juan, you don't know what your crew members circumstances were. Like I said earlier, times is hard out here, folks. Just can't be quitting jobs. You threaten to kill that man, beat that man because he didn't quit a job he probably needed. Okay, Employment is not a game. All right? How is keeping your job considered disloyal? They assaulted a co worker because he still wanted his paycheck. Look, look, look. Bills don't stop because your co worker got by it. Even if that's your friend, Rent doesn't care about your workplace solidarity. Okay? The electric company isn't accepting I quit in support of my essays as a payment. Okay? This story is a prime example of why men misery doesn't just love company, it recruits it. Okay? Some people, when they drowning, will try to pull you in the water with them. In this case, if there was a wall built and all of them tried to scale it, Juan would tell on the other wand. If the other Juan successfully got over the wall and the first Juan didn't. Okay, real friends don't ask you to sacrifice your future just to make themselves feel better. Please give Wan her Herrera, Wilbur Hernandez and Juan Serrano the sweet sounds in the Hamiltones. I started to tell you to call Chris and see if this is something that they do like, you know.

[Jess Hilarious]

What's your name again?

[Jess Hilarious]

Liz. Okay, what's going on? What's wrong.

[Mimi]

So I have been married to my wonderful husband for almost eight years, and he's a white man. I'm a black woman. And so he has started to be bothered by me talking about how white people be tripping. So, like, if people come on the screen and I'm like, there are no white people again, he's just like, that's racist, Liz. And I'm just wondering if I have to keep sacrificing my blackness or, like, how can I make our relationship okay, even though I recognize that sometimes this culture be tripping.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, so wait, wait, wait. You said y' all be watching TV and somebody white pop up on the screen, and you'll be like, look at these white people. And he'll be like, Liz.

[Mimi]

Or I'll be listening to, like, Charlamagne's Donkey of the Day. And I'd be like, you know that that was a white person.

[Caller/Listener]

Because they'd be tripping.

[Mimi]

And he's like, see, if I said that about a black person, I'd be wrong.

[Jess Hilarious]

But no, he probably be right. But he's not allowed to say it is what. Is what he feel because he don't want you to look at him like he's racist.

[Mimi]

Exactly. But I'm just trying to understand or wanted to get your perspective on the boundaries.

[Jess Hilarious]

Boundaries.

[Mimi]

Like, should I stop?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because it hurts his little feelings sometimes.

[Jess Hilarious]

But look, this is the thing, though. This is what you signed up for eight years ago. You know, we all got a little. Little racist fun up in us. You know what I'm saying? And he can't take that. The thing is, if he could take that, you should be able to take that too, you know, because this is who y' all chose to be together. Like, y'. All. You know what I mean?

[Caller/Listener]

If.

[Jess Hilarious]

If you feel like that's sacrificing a big car of you, like, you know, you just don't need to be with. With the brother. Well, with the brother. You don't need to be with the brother at all If. If you feel like you have to sacrifice a big part of yourself. And the same for him. He shouldn't have to be with a sister if he, you know, if he's looking for sister attributes. You get what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes. And he.

[Mimi]

He doesn't have a desire to say anything about us, but he wants me to not have a desire to acknowledge it. But I'm like, no, you.

[Jess Hilarious]

You don't know what his desires are, Especially when you saying some stuff. When you be saying stuff. I know he'd be like, I just want to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I want to.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I just want to say it if you want to start it up. You know what I mean? You never know.

[Caller/Listener]

That's true.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But he better not.

[Jess Hilarious]

But it seems like you do love him. You said he was your wonderful husband, and, you know, all the things. Just stop with the little jokes. You know what I mean? If you really want to keep your man around and just, you know, or have a conversation. Look, God damn it, I'm black. You knew that when you got with me. It's gonna be sometimes some things I'm gonna say because it's going. It's gonna hit you racially, you know, But I'm with you. So, you know, I ain't a racist. I'm with you. I love you. You know what I mean? But.

[Caller/Listener]

And that's true. Absolutely.

[Mimi]

If I. I use the word privilege, that is really what pairs up the whole situation. He's like, I don't have privilege. I'm like, okay, white man. I see. Like, if you look up just like that, I'd be like, okay, white man.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right. So he don't like none of that. Like, he can't play at all. He don't got no sense of humor.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, not.

[Mimi]

Not with that privilege.

[Caller/Listener]

He's like, I struggle, too.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, so he. Oh, all right. So he didn't grow up, like, you know, like.

[Caller/Listener]

Like.

[Jess Hilarious]

Like the high and mighty whites. He didn't grow up like them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So he says, yeah, but there's still privilege in there. There.

[Chris (Airtasker Announcer)]

You.

[Jess Hilarious]

Right. And if you are identifying it because you're with him, like the Sherman. You see this every day. Why aren't you able to speak on it? And, you know, like, see, that's what I'm saying. White people don't understand. Even. Even the middle class. White people don't feel like they got privileged. Like, sorry, you do.

[Mimi]

And white people be tripping.

[Jess Hilarious]

But, yeah, yeah, but if you. If it's gonna. Like I said, if you feel like you're gonna sacrifice a big part of yourself, you know, that's not the one for you, you know? Cause you can't. You can't dim who you are to just be in a relationship or be in a marriage with someone. You know what I mean? Or you can continue to be you until you see the real him in response.

[Hilarious]

[Hilarious]

Peace.

[Jess Hilarious]

What's that, babe? What's going on?

[Caller/Listener]

So listen, all right, so the situation is, my ex wife and my brother was trying, all right, to unalive me to cover up a love affair. And here's the thing. I was going through mental health problems, all right? Having seizures, you know, going through a lot of stuff. So, like, she's trying to pull the same crap that she did to her father or a daughter's father on me as far as it. When it comes to my son.

[Jess Hilarious]

What's the crap? What did she try to do to her daughter's father?

[Caller/Listener]

Well, with her daughter's father, I'm not sure if he was a police officer or not, but he worked somewhere in law enforcement and he got injured. So once he got injured, she took the baby from him and said, oh, he didn't want to have no children. Children, you understand what I'm saying? Because she cheated on him with some guy named James. All right? That work used to work for Ralph. Ralph La Daniel.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay?

[Caller/Listener]

You know, so it's like, I'm not seeking revenge, but at the Same time. It's like, yo, how can you do this? I raised your daughter since she was 2 years old. You tell all these people lies about me. You got your friends, husband, husbands, you know, looking through databases. You got police databases. Everything I tell you is not fabrication. I actually have proof of it, like receipts and stuff. Okay, yes, I got something. That's. It's. I got proof. That's all I can say.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, so why don't you go to the police or the courts to get their ass arrested and, like, you know what I mean? They tried to kill you, sir. And you talking about you don't want revenge? That would be my revenge.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Get somebody to lock just not to

[Caller/Listener]

cut you off, clarify that they was plotting. For instance. It's like, why would you tell your girlfriend, yeah, he's going to be dead real soon, so I really don't care. All right? Or. Or tell your friends. Yeah, as soon as someone new come along, they want to murder him because they ain't gonna put up with his bull and stuff. Like, sorry for cursing, but certain little things. I have to prove what I'm saying.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, so this is what. Okay, okay, okay. So it wasn't. So you didn't experience them actually, like, physically trying to kill you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You're.

[Jess Hilarious]

You're going off of what they're telling other people and what they're saying and, like, you know, little remarks and comments and stuff?

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, not only that, there was one time. Time I was homeless because of them, okay. I got kicked out of my house, and I was sitting in Fox park between East 54th and East 55th in Brooklyn. All right? And for some strange reason, let's just say, certain things came my way, but I didn't get hit, you know? And then there was another time where I was sitting in a place park eat, and some dudes roll up on me and was like, yo, we need X, Y, and Z or else. And we got into a scuffle.

[Jess Hilarious]

That literally sounds like a regular day in New York in the park, to be honest. But you saying that. That, that. Yeah, so. Okay, so that may have come from them, because how do people know exactly where you are in the park type is.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, everybody knew I was sleeping in the park and everything. Everything. It's more to this than just. And I can't. I don't want to take up all your time and everything, because I know you guys busy, but. And I reached out to y' all earlier, okay, Envy and Shalimar, to get some advice, but I never heard nothing back from him. So I was like, yo, what do I do? How can I present the evidence I have without getting in trouble?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. Shalimar knows a lot about. About, you know, getting help with things like that, like mental health and then also, like, you know, legal, like counsel.

[Hilarious]

Shalimar is an R B group from the 70s, sir.

[Caller/Listener]

Okay, let me tell you something.

I just want to know what can I do possibly to do something? I went to lawyers, but lawyers? Is they crazy expensive? I'm not asking for money. I went to the legal system.

I mean, his dude who literally lied on me about so much, and for some reason, she went for it. It's like she taught everybody all these crazy stories about me to make me look bad. So she used a form of the art of war. In order to discredit your enemy, you got to spread false allegations against.

[DJ Envy]

Breakfast Club, good morning. Yo, I was checking out the Sprite Living track list the other day and immediately started arguing with myself. It was wild, because records like California Love still not a player and back then are so much more than words in a song. They're moments, they're memories, they're snapshots of where hip hop was and where it's going. That's what Sprite Sprite gets. They've spent over 40 years celebrating artists who define the culture, and now they're turning the conversation over to the fans. And if you're like me, the real fun is getting into the why. Why does this song matter? Why does this line hit? Why did it change hip hop forever? Now, I can't promise you any answers, but with Sprite, you'll have a good time figuring it out. Check out the full Sprite Living track list and break down the stories behind your favorite bars at LivingTrackList. Genius. This is the Sprite Living track list. Obey your thirst.

You know, one thing I had to unlearn was treating my textured hair like everybody else's. For years I followed all of the popular advice, tried the trends and used products that worked for other people. But my hair was still dry, it was breaking and it just wasn't retaining any length. Not the length I wanted anyway. It was so frustrating because I felt like I was doing everything right but still not seeing any results. Results. Everything changed when I realized my hair needed products made specifically for textured hair. That's why I love Baskin Lather. I've been especially enjoying the stimulating scalp and hair balm because it helps me nourish and hydrate my hair without feeling like it's greasy. It's made with 100% natural ingredients, helps reduce breakage, adds shine and supports healthier looking hair over time. I also love the hydrating hair Mist which helps keep my soft hair moisturized and helps fight dryness and frizz. And I love the story behind the brand. Baskin Lather is a black owned and family operated company created by founder Shayna and her mother when they developed their own hair care line solutions. When a younger sister was told that her hair may never grow back. Today her hair reaches down to her hips, honey. Looking at the before and the after results on the site, it's easy to see why so many people swear by these products.

[State Farm Announcer (alternate)]

past weekend, like every other Sunday, you were on the court with the guys playing ball. Just a pickup game, living out your hoop dreams. No triple doubles, but a mean set of threes in between buckets. One of the homies that mentions he closed on a new crib. This is big. And while everyone's asking about the housewarming and making plans to celebrate, you're asking the real questions. Like has he spoke to his State Farm agent yet about coverage? See, home ownership is one thing, but the right coverage is the real game changer. Even more than your last hot streak is how you protect your legacy. Dropping buckets and bars on the court. A State Farm agent can more than assist you with finding the right coverage for your new new place. If you have a claim, your local agent can help you file it. Yep, that's right. Over the phone, in person, online or on the app, they're ready to help you. And they don't drop the ball. If you know what I mean. Like a Good neighbor State Farm is there.

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit everything.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, it's the latest brought to you by Top Dog Law on the Breakfast Club.

[Jess Hilarious]

Talk to me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So Oprah, she is closing her schools that she has in South Africa. So this will be happening in 2027. And these are. She's been doing this for, like, decades now at this point, but she's closing them because she wants to transition the opportunity operations to local officials. So instead of the schools, she's actually going to set and focus on a scholarship program for girls at the boarding school currently called the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy of Girls. And she said in the statement that the plan is to expand the reach to more young girls across South Africa. Yeah. So the school will end its current operations at the end of 2027. Yeah. So she'll be able to help more people, even though, you know, it's kind of like the end of one thing, beginning of a new thing.

[Hilarious]

20 years.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. She's been doing this for some time now. Yep. Yeah. Now for shifting gears a bit.

[Hilarious]

But it is important to stress that she's giving it to local officials. So it's not like the school is just.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, that's what. That's.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Dang.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Y' all didn't hear me?

[Hilarious]

No, I heard you say that, but I just want to stress that, like,

[DJ Envy]

you know what I mean?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I don't want people to think she just backing out of it.

[Hilarious]

Exactly. Run with the headline, Oprah's closing the school.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, because those girls are like her daughters. Like, a lot of the girls from schools, she takes someone as like her daughters. They're like her heart. But I think now she just sees other ways to be able to help, you know, more people at one time because she's been so effective in that space. Yes. So shifting gears a bit. Spider Man. Spider man is coming out Friday. The people already. Oh, well, at midnight, which is Friday, right?

[Lauren LaRosa]

I just want. I just want to let people know. Stay off of social media because the fan previews globally have already been happening, so that is there. It's been happening across major cities as well, too. Yeah, but it's spider in it, of course. Yes. Zendaya's in it. It's so lit. Because you got Tom Holland. Who. Who else was in the Odyssey?

[Lauren LaRosa]

That's why a lot of people are upset, because they're like, yo, we've been waiting. And now y'.

[Chris (Airtasker Announcer)]

[Hilarious]

I want to talk comic book movies with you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

My little brother's going tomorrow. I just be want to know.

[DJ Envy]

We don't want to talk sports with you. We don't want to talk comic book movies.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What do y' all want to talk about?

[Hilarious]

Coming in at the bottom of the ninth inning. Like, you know how long we've been into the Marvel universe. You don't even know what. What number Spider man movie this is, do you?

[Lauren LaRosa]

This is numbers. Well, we moving on. Okay. Dang. I just thought it would be nice to have something to talk about other than my boss spot.

[Nancy Grace]

All right?

[Jess Hilarious]

Period.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Now, in other movie news, Jared Leto. There is this BBC doc that was released this week. It was actually released yesterday, the 2029th. And in this documentary, there are 10 women, nine of which who are telling their Stories for the first time publicly about sexual misconduct or criminal sexual activity that they allege Jared Leto did. Now, I want to point out that there are about four women in this doc who say that or who alleged that these things happened to them when they were, you know, young teenagers. So there's one woman who says she was assaulted, and she was. She alleged she was assaulted at 17 in a motel bathroom by Jared Leto. She says. Then there's another woman who says that at 19, she was. She ended up being left alone with him in a hotel room, and he threatened, allegedly he had threatened that he would sexually assault her. There's a third woman who says when she was 17, they had underage sex and that he didn't care about the age. And there's a fourth woman who says that she was groomed by him and that he used his celebrity status to make repeated, sexual, explicit, fun phone calls to her.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yo, wasn't he just in one of the Marvel movies? Like.

[Hilarious]

No, he was a he man.

[Jess Hilarious]

One of them.

[Hilarious]

Oh, yeah, he played Skeletor.

[Jacques]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

He was also in Morbius. He's. How long has these claims been?

[Hilarious]

Those accusations came out a couple of years ago.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. And they're. And these are accusations prior to all of this. But this. This dot just recently came out, so now people are having a conversation about again, and he's denying all of these things, but, yeah, these specific allegations are from 2024 to 2026 in the BBC doc, but he has allegations dating back to, like, 2005.

[Hilarious]

Yeah. I don't know what Jared Leto did or didn't do, but what I do know is the way the industry and media treat the stories from white people who are accused is totally different when it's a black person.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hell, yeah.

[Hilarious]

It was a black person of Jared Leto stature that was accused of all that. And the doc came out, he'd be getting crucified right now. And you know who would be crucifying on the most social media? Black Twitter.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, that is crazy.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. And there was one woman who, as it.

[Hilarious]

As Jester, said, Jared still. Still working.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Hilarious]

You got guys like poor Jonathan Majors can't catch a break.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, my God.

[Hilarious]

Jared still working after accusations.

[Jess Hilarious]

Jonathan still can't catch a break right now. This man was just in Tron last year. Masters in the Universe this year, probably on set right now.

[Hilarious]

And I'm not saying he's guilty of anything. I don't know. All I'm simply saying is the way that the industry and the media treat those stories from white people who are accused is totally different than they do

[Jess Hilarious]

black celebrities, black people, it's guilty till proven innocent. And then white people, it just seemed like it's innocent till proven guilty. Till proven guilty.

[Hilarious]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's what it looks like to me.

[Chris (Airtasker Announcer)]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, that's a fair take. Yep. Well, we're wrapping up.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yo, hold up real quick. Happy birthday to Terry Crews, Lawrence Fishburne, Vivica A. Fox, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Christopher Nolan.

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I say it's a family crime drama.

[Mimi]

Okay.

[Hilarious]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And it has an intensity and action that you would.

[Jacques]

You would feel you received in the action film. And it does things that the other series don't do because we kind of jump timelines throughout the episodes and stuff like this.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you'll see things and go, oh,

[Jacques]

[Hilarious]

Okay, so, you know, if you're a Jaques fan, go get that music, man. But I'm very interested. I want to hear them Jacques and R. Kelly records. Can you imagine if Jaques would have dropped the R. Kelly project around the time that he was calling himself the king of R B? And then Tank came out and said, though the king of R B is R. Kelly.

[Jess Hilarious]

Absolutely.

[Hilarious]

Jacques dropped that on him. Oh, my God.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, I'm trying.

[DJ Envy]

All right, when we. Well, you got a positive note.

[Mimi]

Shut up.

[Hilarious]

I do, man. The positive note is simple. It comes from one of my favorite Instagram pages, the Healing Guide. Finally, I understand that being grown really requires silence. Okay. Let people run whatever narratives of us and let them feed it to whoever listens. Okay? Maturity often means choosing peace over proving yourself. Not every misunderstanding needs a response. Sometimes protecting your peace and letting your actions speak is far more powerful than trying to control how others perceive you. Have a great day.
