[DJ Envy]

Let's get some front page news. What's up, Morgan?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Hey, y'all.

[Jess Hilarious]

Good morning and happy Friday, for the most part. But, you know, there is some devastating news, as you guys mentioned. So first, first up on the front page, tragic news to report in New York. Officials are confirming six people have died after a helicopter crashed into the Hudson river in New York City. The victims have been identified as Augustine Escobar, President and CEO of the technology company Siemens in Spain, his wife, their three children, and the helicopter pilot. Now, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, he is speaking out after the tragedy, and he made the grim announcement. Let's take a listen to New York City Mayor Eric Adams at this time.

[DJ Envy]

All six victims have been removed from the water. And sadly, all six victims have been pronounced deceased. Three adults and three children were on board a L206 helicopter that had left from the downtown skyport Just about 3pm we're praying for the families and our gratitude to the rescuers and the courage that was displayed and their dedication.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes, absolutely. Just devastating. This is something that is actually impacting New York and New Jersey because the bodies were pulled from the New Jersey side of the water. Now, Adams went on to say that the victims were a family visiting from Spain. They were on a tour, and witnesses say the chopper broke apart before it went down and overturned. I'm sure you guys have seen the video thing online.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, I haven't. And I don't know why the media, People on social media keep reposting that video. Why I kept seeing the headline, the moments of the helicopter crashing into the water.

[Morgan]

Why? Why?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I want to see that.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. So New York Governor Kathy Hochul said in a statement that she's joining all New Yorkers and praying for those who have lost their lives. President Trump also released a statement on social media regarding the crash, saying it was a terrible helicopter crash in the Hudson River. Looked six people, the pilot, two adults, three children, are no longer with us. He said the footage of the accident is horrendous, and God bless the families and friends of the victims. He went on to say that Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy and his talented staff are on it, and announcements as to exactly what took place on how and. And how will be made shortly. So, as the President mentioned, and of course, you guys know that an investigation into the crash is ongoing, and there is a. It. The cause of that accident is. Is. Has not been released as of yet.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So I can't wait to know what the cause. But definitely horrible, horrible situation. Praying for that family. I wouldn't wish something like that on my worst enemy, man. Three young kids, parents, knowing there's nothing you can do in that moment is that as that helicopter is going down, if there's a heaven, I pray all of them walked in together, man.

[DJ Envy]

Absolutely. You know, they're trying to pass legislation now that will ban a lot of those tourist helicopters because they're saying that, you know, well, maybe the airspace should only be for travel and commercial and not for those tourist things. But regardless, I mean, I did the tourist helicopter before. I took my kids on that same helicopter path and went right up to the George Washington Bridge by the Empire State. I did that before, too. So it's very scary. Like Charlemagne said, you know, condolences, and you wouldn't wish that on anybody.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Has that happened before?

[Jess Hilarious]

I've never heard of a helicopter like a.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Like that one in particular.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. Not that I know, but, you know, it seems. It seems like we're seeing an influx of aviation accidents regardless of what's going on, you know, so it's just. Just sad to see you. I don't think we can get used to that, you know what I mean?

[Charlamagne tha God]

So I'm looking at it now. It Says there's been no mention of any prior crashes involving this particular. What is it called? A Bell 206L4 Long Ranger.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that's the type of helicopter. It is, yeah. But, you know, they do those tours all day long. Like, if you ever got, like, they all day long, they do those tours non stop. It's very sad. All right, well, that is front page news. Thank you, Margot. We'll see you next hour. All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, phone lines are wide open.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes, sir. Do you think that African American, black.

[DJ Envy]

People have enough of our own resources to do for and depend less and less on government? Trump, Harris, Biden, Republican, Democrat. Okay, but, like, we have enough to really pull together, pool our resources, and do for ourselves?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes, we do.

[Morgan]

This is the way I feel.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes, we do. And we've always had enough. And every single, you know, Elder before us has. Has let us know that from Marcus Garvey to the Honorable Elijah Muhammad to Malcolm X, the Minister Farrakhan. Yes, we absolutely have more than enough. And we've. We've built. We've built. We've built our own communities and had our own way before when we. When we had. I guess what you would perceive is less, at least less things in government that were for us. And that's my point, is that I.

[DJ Envy]

Feel like when we had less from, quote, unquote, society and to depend on.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Ourselves more, we were better as a community. So, yes, I 100 agree with you in that same spirit, Charlotte.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Kerry Hilton, welcome her back from real.

[DJ Envy]

All right, bro.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah. Carrie is being vindicated. I saw Esther Dean last night leave a whole letter.

[DJ Envy]

I couldn't read that whole thing.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I read the whole thing, and she basically was saying, like, yeah, you know, all of the. All of the negative stuff in the song, I guess, perceived as negative. She wrote it.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, she said she wrote it. I see that little part of it. Yeah. I'm sure Lauren will break that down on the latest. But it was long. It was like.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, hey.

[DJ Envy]

I was like, I can't read that. Hey, good morning.

[Morgan]

Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

Get it off your chest.

[Jess Hilarious]

Hey, Uncle Charlotte.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Peace. What's happening?

[Morgan]

What's happening?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm calling from Spartanburg, South Carolina. Hey, 864. What's happening?

[Jess Hilarious]

Hey, is Jess there?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Good morning.

[Jess Hilarious]

Good morning.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I was calling about the Carrie Hilsey interview.

[DJ Envy]

What's up, mama?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, I know. She was lying, right?

[Jess Hilarious]

Damn.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, she wasn't. She's all. She's been proven.

[Jess Hilarious]

Let me explain it to you. I remember when this first went down what happened?

[DJ Envy]

But you remember and she did an.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Interview about this song.

[DJ Envy]

I remember. Yeah, she.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She stood on that, and she even made the statement that Polo the Don didn't make her do this. Well, you know, now I know Esther Dean came out and said that she wrote it, but both could be true at the same time. Well, remember, probably did write it, but I think she did it willingly. Well, Esther said that she wrote it, but also too. Remember, Carrie said she was protecting everybody that was involved. So she would say that in the interview.

[Morgan]

Okay, but protecting everybody.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Okay, I would say you just wouldn't say nothing at all.

[Morgan]

Did you see you actually go get.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'll be 50.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Last 16. Oh, okay. Okay, okay.

[DJ Envy]

She said she was there. She remembers. All right, well, thank you, Tina.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Okay, what if you be talking like he ain't three years to 50? You know what I'm saying? She said she was their ass.

[DJ Envy]

You might need to get her as a source. Lauren.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. We got the latest with Lauren coming up. What we talking about?

[Jess Hilarious]

We do. We gonna start with to Braxton and Birdman because they were married. Almost divorced, but they still married. And we didn't even know any of this was happening.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't know if you know, but Birdman told everybody at the Breakfast Club to keep their name out your mouth.

[Jess Hilarious]

Until he come back again. We exist, all four of us now.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Be all two of y'all.

[DJ Envy]

We'll get into that. Next is the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. We are the Breakfast Club on this Friday. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

[Jess Hilarious]

Lauren becoming a street fan.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She gets the details.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She'll be having the latest on the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit everything. What was the latest on the Breakfast Club? What you got?

[Jess Hilarious]

LL Cool bae, Tony Braxton, Birdman are married. That's what's up when this happened. So this actually happened eight months ago, but we had no idea. And actually, it seems like their honeymoon period. Like, you know, you first get married and it's all happy it was a little shaky, according to these documents obtained by tmz. So TMZ is reporting that they got married quietly. It was a very secret. This happened August 8th. Now, in the first couple weeks of the marriage, like, within the first two weeks of the marriage, there are documents that show that Toni Braxton applied for divorce. Yes. So when they got. So we. They know that. So TMZ found out about the marriage because they found the divorce docs first. So in her filing that TMZ saw the. The listed Separation date was August 10th. Now, a quick recap for you guys. The couple held a secret wedding ceremony. Then two days later, Tony at least says that they were on the outs and headed for divorce. In the docs, Toni Braxton, her attorney, called the marriage irretrievably broken. And another plot twist to this is that although it seems like they were headed for a split, Tony then dismissed the divorce petition in January of 2025. And Birdman signed off on that, too. So as of now, they're legally married, husband and wife. And, you know, I was gonna say they're happy, but we don't know, because we didn't even know they was married in the first place. So Tony has never been that Braxton, who had all her business out in the opening, you know, so. And Birdman ain't really the type of person that's open about stuff, too, because they like to threaten when people talk about him. I know. Okay, so. And it's two people here. Yeah. So I'm not. Yeah. You know what I mean? And I'm not surprised.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What are we supposed to say about this situation?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, but I'm also not surprised that we didn't know anything about their marriage because of those reasons.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but does TMZ just type in everybody's name in the computer till they find something? Like.

[Jess Hilarious]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

Like, what made them type in Tony Braxton? It was like. Was there Tony Braxton news that was like. Let me type it in.

[Jess Hilarious]

Like, it depends. Well, first of all, a while ago, there was, like, a news circulating that Tony Braxton and Birdman had gotten private wedding, got married in a private wedding in Mexico. And. And that was, like, making the rounds, but Tony Braxton had reposted it and said fake news. So I think that kind of, like, set an alarm off for some people where they were like, what is going on? But you never know. It could have been, like, a tip. Somebody like, yo, I know they got married. Here's where they got married. So then you go. You know where to go. Look for the doctor, Nothing. He did just fall asleep on the stage. Never.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, so that's. They probably, like, got the digging, like. Okay, what is. What else is going on? Where's Tony? Why was she there? And then, boom, there we go.

[DJ Envy]

Tony was there when she fell asleep.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, that's right. Why wasn't she there? You know, because she would have whisked him off the stage. That's her husband.

[DJ Envy]

You're right.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. Well. Yeah. So that was December 2023, when that fake news was. Well, it was fake news, but real news later, I was circulating. So maybe. I don't know what. This could have been several different things, but congratulations to them. Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Are you gonna do some digging to see why it was a divorce so fast?

[Jess Hilarious]

I've already began. I know you did, because she said irretrievably. Yeah. Which normally when people say that, it's like, what do you mean that you can't really. You can't fix it? Like, we'll be in the comments, like, here's a real deal. I thought that meant irreconcilable. I'm about to look, Jess. I don't know. That's the word too. Irritably broken is. I don't know what the word is. It's.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What if he had.

[Jess Hilarious]

That relationship is broken beyond repair.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What if he had that in his wedding vows already? I reserve the right to be finished. I'll be done anytime I want to.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's not a.

[DJ Envy]

They're not.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's not a term. It's not a term like. Like a contract. His vow was not supposed to say stuff like that.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But you can make your vows anything you want. Yup.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's the expression of love, not a contract.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's why you got to have God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost in your relationship, all three of them. Because when those things happen, you need that bond, that spiritual faith to keep y'all together.

[Jess Hilarious]

You up here playing about that, man, marriage right now?

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, I'm.

[Jess Hilarious]

Stop being messy like you being real funny. Okay. I'm gonna continue on. Finish. You done? You finish? You done?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Say nothing.

[Jess Hilarious]

All right, so Esther Dean, as we mentioned earlier in the show, she posted another statement on this whole Kerry Hilson turning me on Beyonce dish leak. Super duper long.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I didn't read that.

[Jess Hilarious]

The whole thing, I was like.

[Morgan]

It.

[Jess Hilarious]

I read. Yeah, you know, I read it, so. It's an open letter from Esther Dean, and she said it's for caring for creators. For the record, she stayed quiet for a long time, but she believes that telling the truth, especially when the Internet starts telling its own version of story, is important. Back in July 2008, she started working with Polo to Dawn in Atlanta. She then moved to LA to write for Polo's artists at Interscope. She wasn't famous, she wasn't clout chasing. And she was in the studio day and night writing three to four songs a day. No friends, no family, just worked, work. Whenever the studio was open, she wrote. Polo called her, she showed up, and that's how it was. So then the tournament on remix happened. She said one night, Polo called her and asked her to write a remix verse for Kerry Hilson. Something that was like street, edgy and for the culture. He left the room and she sat there, you know, coming up with different ideas. She then came up with I shot the sheriff. But wait till I shoot these beads down, down Shot these bees down, down. And that's crazy, right? So then she. She basically is listening to lyrics that she came up with or whatever. And she said that, you know, at the time she didn't have. She didn't have like the same platform that Kerry Hilson had. Kerry Hilson was the celebrity at that time. She was already massive. She didn't need saving. So it wasn't like this song was created to save her career. She was out making history already. Then she answered the question, why I speak now. She says, because while our stories may look similar now, back then they weren't. Carrie was speaking on big platforms I didn't have access to. And it was her story to tell, not mine. I stayed writing. No hate, no shade, just truth. What Carrie went through was sad. She's a great artist, beautiful spirit, and she deserves grace. She took her lessons. Now I'll take mine. Respect always. So I think that this double confirms Carrie's sentiments when she was here.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Absolutely. If this was a court of law, Carrie Hilson would be innocent. Her story is adding up in every way. Also, people don't realize how much some folks have to compromise themselves in this business. We talked about it when Carrie was here. They told Carrie her career was going to be over. She did what she thought she had to do. She said she was protecting everybody in the situation. Now the 15 years, 16 years later, she telling her truth.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Seem like it's adding up to me.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. And why is it so hard for people to believe stuff like that? We've heard things like this happen countless times in this industry.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Like, you know why, Jess?

[Jess Hilarious]

What?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Because nobody cares about the truth and the lies. More entertaining. They rather make the jokes on Carrie and put the beads in her comments.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

But I hope she gets the clarity she needs that she can continue on because she felt like she was blocked. She felt like people didn't respect her. So I hope she's able to get what she really wants out there now.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, and I know she did really. She was really appreciative of the conversation that we had in here with her and just like the reaction to it. I talked to her yesterday for a bit and she was like, she was just really thankful for feeling comfortable enough to have a conversation about it.

[DJ Envy]

She felt like this was a safe place for her.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, well, she should have dropped the album today. I don't know why she waiting till the 18th. The album we need to talk come out on the 18th. They should have dropped today.

[Jess Hilarious]

But you know what, what if she didn't even plan on opening up about that? She didn't because she didn't. You know what I'm saying? Y'all like really provided that safe space for her to do that. What if she never even planned on walking in to talk about that?

[Charlamagne tha God]

So.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, that's good though. Yep.

[DJ Envy]

Alright, well, that's the latest with Lauren.

[Jess Hilarious]

[Jess Hilarious]

No, wait. No, it wasn't.

[DJ Envy]

Shut up. Wake up, wake up.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You're locked into the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

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

[Jess Hilarious]

Listen, what's up is the Supreme Court has says that the Trump administration must facilitate the release of a Maryland man sent accidentally to prison in El Salvador. Now, in a ruling on Thursday, the court both granted and rejected a DOJ emergency request that contested Kilmar Abrego Garcia be returned. The decision means Garcia does not have to be immediately returned due to the judge imposed deadline expiring, but that the Trump administration has to be prepared to share what it can concerning the steps it has taken along with further ones. Now, Abrego Garcia was deported by accident to an El Salvador Prison on March 15 as part of the Trump administration's pledge plan to send alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Agua there. I also received a DM from the state's attorney of Prince George's county in where she says in a statement, in part, she applauds the Supreme Court's decision today that orders the Trump administration to bring Kilmar back home. He must be brought home expeditiously. Any further delays are illegal and unacceptable. People of goodwill who support the rule of law must stand together and oppose the Trump administration blatantly unconstitutional and illegal actions. She goes on to say she stands with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, his family, and justice for all people whose constitutional rights have been violated.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So, you know, I'm always surprised when the Supreme Court does the right thing because, you know, I've said on numerous occasions the Supreme Court is no longer a legitimate institution. But when they get it right and don't bow down to Trump and the Trump administration, I gotta give them credit.

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, you know, this thing is continuing and it's ongoing nonstop. So this comes at the same time as over 300 student visas have been revoked by the Trump administration as it cracks down on immigration. Now, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said it's a privilege to go to school in the US and he had pretty much a little bit of a message for those international students, let's take a listen to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

[DJ Envy]

If you come to this country as a student, we expect you to go to class and study and get a degree. If you come here to, like, vandalize a library, take over a campus and.

[Jess Hilarious]

Do all kinds of crazy things, you know, we're going to get rid of these people. So some international students have seen their visas taken away for allegedly supporting terrorist organizations. Others have seen theirs reportedly taken away for things like traffic violations. And of course, this comes as colleges watch immigration databases to see if students are still allowed to be in the US Last month, Rubio said a couple hundred visas were revoked and more would be happening every day. So I know this stands to impact. This is going to be quite the case by case situation. As I mentioned earlier, Malawatch, that Duke student, he's a south suit. Well, he is from Sudan. And the, the visas from all those of the Sudanese people have also been revoked. So we'll continue to watch what happens with some of these students, those who are athletes here and those who are just here to get an education.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's the problem, right? Like, you know, on the face of, on the face, it sounds right, like, yes, you don't want nobody here that's committing crimes. You don't want nobody here that's supporting running, you know, terrorist organizations. But are they really going into these schools with a surgical knife and really getting those people out? Are they just casting a wide net?

[DJ Envy]

Seems like they just cast in a wide net.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Like, like everything else they're doing, it's a wide net.

[Jess Hilarious]

But at the same time, there may be some knives in the net because as you can see with the funding, you know, the, the, the Trump administration has also been threatening funding for a lot of these schools. So the schools are going to do essentially what they can to make sure that they keep a corporate. Right. So if that means surgically going in and looking at these students and where these students come from, that might. Again, it's going to be case by case based on school. It's going to be case by case based on the student. So, but I will try to keep you guys updated as much as I can in regards to that story. Now switching gears, Democrat Senator Adam Schiff is calling for an insider trading investigation into the Trump administration. Now, the move comes after President Trump put a pause on terror. Now shift points to a social media post made by the president saying, hey, y'all, it's a good day to buy D. What is it? Donald Trump Jr. Or DJ DJ Anyway, it was his code basically for his media company. Let's take a listen to Democrat Senator Adam Schiff in regards to this situation.

[DJ Envy]

The question is, who knew what the President was going to do? And did people around the President trade.

[Jess Hilarious]

Stock, knowing the incredible gyration the market.

[DJ Envy]

Was about to go through? Just a few days ago, I held a hearing with people who had to quit the Justice Department, were fired at the Justice Department because they were observing corrupt activity that they would not participate in.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. So, and as I was trying to mention before, that's djt. Donald Trump said it was a good, great. It's a great day to buy djt, which stands for Donald J. Trump, and it's also the ticker symbol for his media company. Now, Schiff says he and other Democrats have sent a letter to the White House asking if anyone in or around the administration made any financial transactions knowing the President was going to pause the tariffs. Um, now, Trump said the pause is a result of what he called yippee people and the bond market sell off. So what do you guys think about that possible insider situation going on with Trump and his buddies, the billionaire buddies, or, you know, the pause just happened because, you know, there's nothing they can.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Do to Donald Trump. Do we forget that the Supreme Court granted Trump broad immunity for what they consider official acts? He'll just say that this, this was an official act. The guy's got presidential immunity. What is that? What you gonna do to him?

[DJ Envy]

But I always wonder what things like that, Are they actually looking for a crime or are they just trying to attack Donald Trump? Like, are they actually fishing to see if somebody actually made money? Because they can see who made money and who pulled money out, how much money they made. And usually they can see if somebody made $10 million or $5 million and they can actually see if it happened before then and go there now it just seems like they just.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Well, let's be clear. This is insider trading. I mean, if you tweet out, you know, now was a good time to buy right before you pause the tariffs, that is would be considered insider trading. But there's nothing you can do to Donald Trump. But if you got presidential immunity.

[DJ Envy]

But if he posted that, that would be for the world to see. Insider trading is if he told his man or somebody knew he was going to do it beforehand. And those are things that could be seen. Same thing with like, no, but it's illegal.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You can't say publicly, now's a good time to buy. And then you're the president it in Paul's tires for 90 days.

[DJ Envy]

Is that. I don't know.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What, you mean, you don't know?

[DJ Envy]

No, I. I don't know because he posted it. He posted it nationally. It's not like he posted it in his. His friend's own.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Posted it for the world to see with the stock ticker on it. Envy N. It had a stock ticker on there? What are you talking about?

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, my goodness.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Djt. Now is a good time to buy. Djt.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Thank you, Morgan. Now, when we come back, Vibes Cartel will be joining us. We're gonna kick it with vibes. When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning.

[Charlamagne tha God]

The Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes, indeed, the legendary Vibes Cartel.

[DJ Envy]

Welcome, brother.

[Morgan]

Hey, what's up, man? Hello.

[DJ Envy]

How you feeling, man?

[Morgan]

Feel like a million dollars right now, man.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Every time I walk through the airport the last two weeks, everybody there, all the Caribbean people, you got to have vibes on. The Breakfast Club vibes gonna be in Brooklyn on April 11th. You gotta have them on the Breakfast.

[DJ Envy]

All in all through the streets, they knew you were coming. So first and foremost, how does it feel to be back here and being able to perform? How does that feel? What is that feeling like?

[Morgan]

I mean, it's a blessing, you know, and it's a feeling of accomplishment because, you know, I mean, this is. These are the things that we have worked for over the years. So to be here now and see it actualize itself. Yeah, it feels like an accomplished, you know, I mean, feeling. Yes.

[DJ Envy]

You sold out two shows at the Barclay immediately. Did you. Did you ever. Did you think it would be like that with, like, ticket prices, like 7,000 for. For seats, like.

[Morgan]

Yeah, of course. Like I said, I put the work in. I mean, so everything is happening to me. I deserve it, man. God is the greatest. And I mean, we work hard over the years, we built a huge catalog. So, you know, I mean, the music speaks for itself as it relates to dance all. And for me to represent the culture, so that was no surprise, man. My manager wanted to do a third night.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You could have immediately.

[Morgan]

I'm not. I'm 49. I'm not.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I mean, strong. I know, but remember, we coming from prison, I'm sick, you know, I mean, so. Yeah, so that makes it more of a blessing, you know, I mean, to know that, you know, I mean, coming from prison, 13 years, still battling with my illness and the love that the people show me, man, if it's not God, I don't know who it is.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You know, nobody wants to go to prison, but it feels like prison made you larger than life. Like, just from a career.

[Morgan]

I agree with you.

[Charlamagne tha God]

From a career perspective, do you think it preserved your legacy and made it bigger?

[Morgan]

Yeah, I think so. I think it did. But like I said, everything happens for a purpose. You know what I mean? And if God has a plan for you, he has a plan for you. You have to just work with it.

[DJ Envy]

So I look at it the. The opposite way, though, because I feel like people heard the music but couldn't see the face. Like, I felt like you would have been an even bigger artist because they just couldn't touch you.

[Morgan]

Or if I was free, maybe I would have died, who knows, in a car accident or something. So you got to just focus on what is is right, you know, I mean, and that's how I live my life. Like, it is what it is. I'm here. I did 13 years, but now I'm here. And that's in my rear view.

[Jess Hilarious]

During your time in prison, though, you released a lot of music. How was that managing your career, even behind bars? Like, being in there?

[Morgan]

I mean, like I said, I had to do it. That was. That was too easy, man. Like, I always try to find innovative ways to. To do what I do, and that was just one of them. Like, I had to do it. I had people depending on me. I had a family to feed. I had my career to maintain, so that's too easy.

[Jess Hilarious]

And even that with being sick, though, that were there times where you just like, man, this.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, no, no, Never.

[Morgan]

I couldn't do that.

[Jess Hilarious]

But you were really sick, though.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I was.

[Jess Hilarious]

I guess I'm saying, like, how did you fight? Like, just having the strength to fight through that and still make music and all of that and keep your mental where it needed to be to really commit to that music. So you can still be the vibes cartel and deliver what people Wanted to hear.

[Morgan]

And I understand that's a good question, too, because in Jamaican prison, it's not like American prison. Jamaican prison is real dungeon style.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Wow.

[Morgan]

You know what I mean? No toilets in the cells and crazy work, you know?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Toilet in the cells.

[Morgan]

No. You know how I got toilet in my cell? When Lisa Evers did that piece?

[DJ Envy]

They did the special.

[Morgan]

Yes. That's when they put the toilet. Installed the toilet in.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Wow.

[Morgan]

It was crazy.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Did you had you use.

[Morgan]

Pun intended.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So what they had you using before?

[Morgan]

Newspaper. Wow.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, man.

[Morgan]

Yeah, so you can read while you.

[DJ Envy]

But I got. You know, you put out so much music, people assume that you had a studio in prison because it just. The music didn't sound old. It always sound new. It always sound fresh.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, somebody passed away and you'd be talking about him in the song. I'm just joking. But. But you had. So did you have a studio?

[Morgan]

That's. No, I had a phone. The iPhone 5s. That's the. That's recorded, like, the Fever album. Album. No, I did the Viking album. Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Really?

[Morgan]

I kid you not. Yeah, man. 5s and a mattress and some prisoners looking out.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That was it.

[Morgan]

That was it, man. And determination and God himself.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Wow.

[Morgan]

So that's it. Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

It's crazy work.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Was there ever any time in that 13 years, especially when you started getting sick, that you was like, man, I don't know if I'm gonna make it out of here.

[Morgan]

Yeah. I mean, there were times I thought that I wouldn't make it, but I still had to put in the work. I still have to do what I had to do. It is what it is, man. Like, if I die, at least I die trying. I mean, because that's. That's just my mindset, you know? But, yeah, there were times I was like. I even talked to my mother. I was like, mom? She was like, no, fight it, man. Pray. You know? So, yeah, big up to my mother. She's a blessing in my life as well.

[DJ Envy]

And how did you finally get out? Because they were fighting to keep you in for a long time. They weren't. They were fighting appeals. Anything that you tried, they were fighting. What was that turn?

[Morgan]

I mean, you're right. They wanted to keep me there forever, but, I mean, I sent. When the case went to England, you know, I mean, because the thing is Jamaica, and I don't want to, because a lot of people in the system in Jamaica, they support me as well, but the system really just. I think they wanted to make an example.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Oh, man.

[Morgan]

You know what I mean? Out of me. Because the case is clear cut. Like I've always told my manager, my family, bro, I'm coming out. Once my case reaches England, I'm out. And so said so. Done. Because it's open. Shut case. You messed up here. You messed up here. This is wrong. This is wrong. Wrong. Free the man.

[DJ Envy]

Have they ever apologized or said, my bad, sorry, anything?

[Morgan]

I don't need apology, sir.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Freedom. The best apology.

[Morgan]

Exactly. Right?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, exactly.

[Morgan]

So I'm good, man. I'm not looking back. I'm not even suing. Yeah, no, I'm not. I'm not even pursuing. So no suing.

[Jess Hilarious]

Like, how is your health now?

[Morgan]

Work in progress. Yeah, so definitely a work in progress. But it was worse when I came out. My head was this big, big, like the Pillsbury Doughboy. It was crazy, man. So. But you're working.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can you describe the moment you were released? Like, what. What that emotion was?

[Morgan]

I'm still processing it. I swear to you. I swear to you, man. Because there were times, like, I never lost faith. But when they actually opened the gate, I was the last one out of my cell. I was just like, is this really is. Am I dreaming right now? Like, what the hell is this? I had all my clothes on, the full white that you see me walk out in. Didn't put my shoes on yet. And I just said a little prior, and I just walked out, man. When I was walking in the yard and all the prisoners were shaking the doors, and it was. It was like an earthquake, man. And I'm not gonna lie, I shed a tear or two.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Tears of joy.

[Morgan]

Tears of joy. Yeah. Then I just walked through the gate. But throughout my incarceration, I never cried. I never, never felt sorry for myself, you know, I just know that this is something that I have to get through. And by the grace of God, man, God did.

[DJ Envy]

And what was the first thing you did when you got out? Because I remember when you got out, people were waiting for you to announce a show. Like, everybody wanted a show, wanted music. But it took you some time for that. So what were you doing?

[Charlamagne tha God]

The man just told you he was getting some cheeks.

[DJ Envy]

Girl.

[Morgan]

Exactly. Well, I was in prison for years, sir.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Stop it. Come on. But, yeah, man, I was just chilling with family mostly. Like I said, my mother, my father, my kids, my grandchildren. When I came out of prison, I had three grandkids.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Wow.

[Morgan]

But when I was going in, I had babies.

[Jess Hilarious]

Wow.

[Morgan]

So, you know, I mean, 13 years is a long time, man. Trust me. So for me, right now, it's just God, family music. That's it.

[DJ Envy]

Who was your biggest allies when you were locked ups celebrity wise? I know. Oh, Buster, Buster, Buster. He always said your name. Always rang your name.

[Morgan]

Easily Spice. Easily Popcorn. You know, I mean, a lot of people don't see Easily Boom. I don't even have to think. My. My brother, Sl manager, tj, you know, I mean, yeah, Aishana, she came to visit me several times because a lot of people were scared. So it wasn't that they didn't want to come, but just the stigma associated with.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

So, like, Spice, Nishana, Popcorn, Buster Rhyme. I gotta give it. Shout out to them, man. Give them props.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we got more with Vibes Cartel when we come back. Let's get into a Vibes mini mix. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. That was a Vibes Cartel mini mix. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking with Vibes Cartel.

[Jess Hilarious]

Jess, relationships are tough, you know, in general, but what do you think? Major relationship with your fiance? Work while serving a life sentence?

[Morgan]

Does she believe? Believed. I mean, she believed. I met her in 2015, July 25th. Never forget. Yeah, I mean, we've been on and off. You know how it goes. She's in the free world, I'm in prison. She live in her life still, whatever, blah, blah, blah. But she was always there. So in 2022, I decided, like, yo, like I said, I started being more spiritual, putting my faith in God. And I told her, I'm like, yo, I'm coming out. Come to Jamaica. And she came. She left everything. Came to Jamaica.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Well, she. Where she at?

[Morgan]

She was. She's from London.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You met her on Instagram, I heard that.

[Morgan]

Yes, sir.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Wow. Wow.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

It was crazy.

[Charlamagne tha God]

How could you trust that, though? That could have been Catfish.

[Morgan]

I know, but like I said, it was years in 2015.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

You know, I mean, and I was talking this every now and then. We spoke and we started speaking on a regular basis. So it took. It took a while for me to trust her. She actually came to Jamaica the first time in 2019. That's four years after we were talking, just on the phone talking, you know what I mean? Having e. Sex.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, all right. Yeah, we got it.

[Jess Hilarious]

When she came in 2019, you actually got to put the face to the. And she looked exactly like the picture.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah, she looked exactly like. That was before AI.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So she couldn't okay, okay, yeah, got you.

[Morgan]

But she came to visit me, and, you know, I mean, it was a vibe. So in 2022, I was like, yo, coming out, Come to Jamaica. Come live. She was like, are you sure she's British?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

I'm like, yes, come. And she came and she did two years before I came out. So she came to visit me every time there was a visit.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Wow.

[Morgan]

Yeah. If I was in a bad mood sometime and I'd be like, I don't want to see nobody, she'd cry. Or she'd come to the prison still and the guards would be like, hey, your fiance is outside. And I'm like, okay, I'll go. You know, I mean, so, yeah, she's been there, man. Just.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You are king, man. Is it easy. Is it easy for you to re. Resist the temptation, though, by being that you back on the road and you out in the streets? I know the women coming after you crazy.

[Morgan]

I flirt with the ladies. I'm five star tell. Come on, man. Nobody can get. Get out to them. Only she can get out herself by messing up. But no girl on the planet can get her out of my life. You know what I mean? Yeah. So she goes, good, man.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What makes a person king of the dancehall? Because that's what they say they call vibes. Cartel, king of the dance. What qualifies a person for that title?

[Morgan]

Your dominance, your. Your influence. It's not necessarily selling records, because I haven't sold records like Sean Paul, but when. If I walk through the streets of Jamaica and Sean Paul is on the other side of the road, he will go unnoticed. I mean, no disrespect does the influence that. That larger than life vibe that we bring. If I say, oh, Clarks, everybody were clock put on a tattoo, everybody gets tattooed, you know, I mean, that type of vibe, the dominance, and I've been doing that since before I got arrested. I've been. People have been calling me the king of dancer. But, you know, I mean, like I said, kings come, kings go, presidents come, presidents go. Nothing is forever except salvation. So, yeah, so I'm not really fighting for the crown because the people gave it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Can it be more than one king, though? Because, you know, people love to say Beanie man, too.

[Morgan]

Yeah, of course it can be more than one king. Not in our genre. Genre is one.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But it's not a dance.

[Morgan]

Oh, no, but that's what I'm saying. Remember who was the king in 1945? King George or something dead. And more kings come along. It's just Life. That's what I'm saying. Like, you can't hold on to it forever. You can't gatekeep the crown. It's not yours to get. It was never yours to gatekeep. You do your time, you move on. A new king is in town. Sir. Thank you.

[DJ Envy]

Now, when you were locked up, versus was big, right?

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

When you were watching that, did you think, I would love to do a versus? Cuz D is very competitive. And. And if you could.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Who would you want to do one with?

[Morgan]

Obviously. Come on. Obviously, man. Yeah, big up movado too, man. But yeah, that would be a crazy versus. Obviously I would win. But he would.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes, he does.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Is there anybody catalog dog. You. You afraid of A little bit.

[Morgan]

My father got a big catalog. No, not being your bounty killer. Those guys, those. Those are in a different class, remember? You know, I mean, no bounty killer beanie. They like the 90s to the early 2000s. Then cartel came out Elephant man as a nice catalog, but he's not like a warrior artist. You get. Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I mean, what's a warrior artist?

[Morgan]

What's that like a cartel, a movado, a bounty killer. I mean, a massacre. Ready to go at it right now. Yeah. So. But no, no, no. I think I have the biggest current catalog in dancehall because it's relatively young. It's 23 years.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

You know, I mean, lots of hits, especially in the dancehall landscape. You know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

Is that missing in music, though, like me coming up in Queens and DJing parties, I would come up and then if somebody, let's say you're in the club or Baby Sham's in the club, but if they would just grab and go at each other.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Wouldn't be physical, but it would be music.

[Morgan]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

That's what's missing in dancehall, especially.

[Morgan]

I think so, too. And one of the reasons why I think so too, is because of the Internet. So a lot of these young kids, they got their fame from their bedroom. They made the rhythm in their bedroom, recorded it in their bedroom, made their YouTube channel, put it out. They can monitor this on itunes. Whatever. We, on the other hand, we had to go in the streets, we had to go to the studio, you know, so it was a more physical thing for us in the same way. Remember back in the day when records came out, you had to go to the record store.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Now you can just take up your phone and be like, yo, String and stream. Yes. So that's why I think they don't have the knack for physical confrontation like we did. And by physical, I don't mean, like, punching, even though sometimes that. That does happen.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Y.

[Morgan]

But like, to just run upon a guy on stage. Nah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

They're not going to do that.

[Jess Hilarious]

I wouldn't think nobody would do that with Jamaicans anyway.

[Morgan]

But other Jamaicans, like, that's. Yeah, cuz I would like. You. You talk. When is his next show? There's a showing at the Breakfast Club. We go win. Yeah, we run up. So. Yeah, that.

[DJ Envy]

Have you done that to somebody? Grab somebody's mic?

[Morgan]

No. Well, Mavado. During me and Mavado. Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

He used to run upon me a couple times. I run upon him the last time I was in St. Elizabeth. That was crazy. Which was then I got the concept to do the Door Run song because I had a Don't Run song before Sting, and then after Sting, then I was like, you know, because he ran off stage, too, and he's related to Usain Bolt. You know that, right? Joking. But, yeah, but at the time that. Yeah, it was. Now, in hindsight, I mean, I'm glad we had that feud, man. It made us big. And, you know, I mean, it spread dance all to places like Africa, which at the time, we were like, these. These guys listen to us because, you know, they don't showcase that in the media. Then before the Internet, where you could just jump on your phone and see Africa for yourself. Yeah. So I think, like, clashing is good, man. I know.

[Charlamagne tha God]

How do y'all get the good terms after clashing? Passion. A good conversation.

[Morgan]

The first time we had that conversation was the second time the government sent for us in Jamaica because the vibes cartel thing was so big. School kids fighting, people getting hurt. So we were just there at King's house, which is where the. The politicians. We was like, yo, music brought us here, bro. Like, this is crazy. And that's when we started talking. And after that, we still feuded, but it was just more like, like, on a controlled level.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Like, he would be like, yo, I dropped a song. Why? Why don't you answer it? Like, oh. And if I didn't hear it and then I replied to it, and then I would drop a song and he would reply. So we kept it like that, and it culminated in us doing the West Kingston show when he called me on stage in West Kingston with D. Us.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Oh, that's smart. So y'all kind of, like, planned it out. It was strategic.

[Morgan]

Not in the beginning. That's what I'm saying. After we Went to the. To King's house, where the government was. We was, like, outside waiting to go in, and we was just talking, like, to get the kids, man, look, you know, I mean, look what our music is doing. It's brought us here. And then we just start like, yo, this. Let's. Let's plan. Let's be strategic.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Absolutely.

[DJ Envy]

Well, let's get into a joint off the album. What song do you want to hear for the people?

[Jess Hilarious]

I want to hit porn flick.

[Charlamagne tha God]

My bad.

[Jess Hilarious]

See, I want to.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Jess Hilarious]

Just the vibe.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes, like that.

[DJ Envy]

Well, let's get into porn. Florence right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. That was Porn Flick from Vibes. Cartel Vibes is here now. I got a question. So you know my wife is Jamaican, right? So I asked her. We have artists, some things. We look at it differently. So she was like, looking back, is there a moment in your career you wish you handled differently at all? Or like you just said, do you have no regrets? Is there anything that you said I should have done different, Differently?

[Morgan]

I don't know. When I hit Ninja man with the mic on stage, I don't know, but. Because that's what I'm saying. Everything that I've done, it's still. Even if it brought me down, when I came up, I came up higher.

[DJ Envy]

Right?

[Morgan]

So. Yeah, I don't like that word regret, man.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah. I don't know. No, because if you believe in God, you really got to believe everything happened for a reason. Even if it was just your own poor choices.

[Morgan]

Exactly.

[Charlamagne tha God]

It still got you closer to God. Because God got you through.

[Morgan]

Yeah, man. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Ah, nothing. I would do different, maybe. Maybe with the Ninja man thing, maybe I wouldn't have punched him. Maybe I would have just kicked him.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

Jesus Christ.

[Jess Hilarious]

Still some injuries.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's funny, though, because he, like, he had to get it somehow.

[Morgan]

Don't change history is what I say. You're gonna mess it up for all of us. Don't go back in time.

[DJ Envy]

Right. Yo, now what? I mean, what's something the public completely misunderstands about vibes?

[Morgan]

I'm a fun guy. I mean, I like to vibe. I like to have fun. Like, if you don't know me, especially then it, like. And if you approach me wrong, obviously I'm gonna react. But if I'm comfortable around people, we. We cool, man. We vibe it. Yeah. So a lot of people really? They think I'm just this evil person when I'm not. I mean. So.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Now one of your biggest records romping shop.

[Morgan]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Did you ever get that clear or.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Was it you just.

[DJ Envy]

So you never got paid off of that? You just threw it out and it just did what it did.

[Morgan]

Like got paid? Come on. That song is on my. That song put me on another level globally again. Because like I said, it's levels to it the same way Clarks did it, Summertime did it. FIFA did it.

[DJ Envy]

[Morgan]

With that, you get those songs, it's like up another echelon, right? You're just going up. So yeah, of course, man, that, that song was crazy. We actually wanted to try to see if we could get it cleared now and do like maybe a 12 year anniversary, 15 year, whatever. But yeah, that song was crazy, but I didn't get it cleared. But in Neo's defense, he didn't sue you. He couldn't clear it. Remember the rhythm, you know, the thing go publishing and you made the beat. But he's the rapper. But you know, I mean, so people think, oh, why didn't the envy clear the song? But it. You own the rights to the movie. Yeah. So yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Now also when you, when you perform back in the late 90s and early 2000s, there was terms and words that you could say that you cannot say anymore or they will try to cancel it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Oh no. The 90s kind of back a little bit, man.

[DJ Envy]

You remember the beginning of Romper Shop?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I mean, take it right out.

[Morgan]

Ramping Shop. That was explicit. I mean, I don't know, man.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Play it for the kid is explicit.

[Morgan]

As it is though very intolerant, which I think is changing now still because the world is changing, so you got to be mindful of what. What you say, you know?

[DJ Envy]

So there's certain songs you don't do because of that, or you just.

[Morgan]

Oh, yeah, I won't do. I won't do.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Hell, yeah. I mean, come on. Well, that's like saying, oh, slavery was good. Let's bring it back.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, we're not.

[Morgan]

So we're not going to sing certain songs. You're not gonna. You know, I mean, come on.

[DJ Envy]

Distasteful.

[Morgan]

Yes, distasteful. And kill.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And also, I'm sure over time, you probably seen G to G. They look beautiful together.

[Morgan]

What?

[Charlamagne tha God]

G to G to G. Look beautiful together?

[Morgan]

Yeah, man. I mean, I don't judge and I don't look. I'm. I'm engaged, sir.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm engaged.

[DJ Envy]

I'm engaged, sir. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Is what I'm saying. So, yeah, I. I focus.

[DJ Envy]

Another question the wife had is, is, are you going to marry your fiance? It's been a while now.

[Morgan]

That's usually how it works. You usually marry a fiance. Okay, this is the thing. I came out July 31st.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Morgan]

Did the biggest concert in Jamaica history. December 31st. Got my US visa. January 31st. Yeah. So I wanted to get married February 31st. It turns out we doesn't have a 31st.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You did that on purpose?

[Morgan]

No, because I've been so busy all over the place. We have to plan it. Okay. You know, her family is big, mine is big. But make no mistake, she's right here. She. I left her. I don't leave her nowhere.

[DJ Envy]

There you go.

[Morgan]

She's not my good luck child.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's how you stay out of trouble. Yeah.

[Morgan]

Yeah, exactly. Right?

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's right.

[Morgan]

She balances me. She calms me, man. So, yeah, she good.

[Jess Hilarious]

Let me ask you a question about Jamaican culture. It seems like bleaching, your skin is. Is becoming more popular now. Like, what is the fascination with that in Jamaica?

[Morgan]

I think it has to do with, you know, the usual issue. Self hate, the. The history of colonialism, colorism. It's all that, you know, I mean. And like, we. I was speaking to. I don't remember who I was speaking to, because even in, like, places like Asia.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Skin bleaching is a big thing, too. And it has to do with that Stockholm syndrome. Because if you think about it, who in Asia bleaches the most? It's the. The. The. The South. The North. Sorry, the South Koreans and the Japanese. That Americanized kind of European. They want that Eurocentric look is what I'm saying. And Black people have always had that problem. I mean, I would never bleach again personally, you know, I mean, because I'm mature enough to know that, yo, that. But I definitely think it has to do with self hate or self lack of self confidence as, As a race. Because when I was bleaching, like I literally looked in the mirror and I. I thought I looked better being light skinned, you know, I mean, so it took a time for me to. That.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, so. So it was a cosmetic thing when you did it?

[Morgan]

Yes.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Okay. Okay.

[Morgan]

Yeah, definitely. But I would never do that again, man.

[Jess Hilarious]

And I'm glad, I'm very, very glad to hear that. But even on loving hip hop Spice, she. It was a mess. It was a bigger message that she was trying to convey and it was exactly what you were saying. She's like, man, this, this is different in America than it is back where I'm from, you know, like, you don't get certain things if you're not a fairer skin, you know? And people here, because loving hip hop is American people was looking at spice like, what the hell? Why would you. You know, your black skin is beautiful always. You know what I mean? So. But now I totally do get what you're saying. It's totally different.

[Morgan]

Yeah. Culturally, it's a cultural thing.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

Trust me, man. Because we only have blacks in Jamaica.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

So for us, it's not racism, it's colorism. Like the lighter skinned you are, it's like you climb socially. It's crazy work.

[Jess Hilarious]

Did you have any effects after that? Like long term? Because you were doing it for a while.

[Morgan]

Like long term effects. Just some pictures that I don't want to look at anymore.

[Charlamagne tha God]

They used to say I was bleaching and they would always send me pictures of you and have me side by side.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, he wasn't. No, he was just ugly. And then he was cute. After Wild ain't no damn. No, no.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You had a face. It ain't. This a tough room.

[DJ Envy]

This is a tough room.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Cosmetic surgery. I got a nose job.

[Morgan]

You got a nose shot.

[DJ Envy]

Michael.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Tell them the truth. Michael, what happened?

[DJ Envy]

I have polyps in my nose. I would snore a lot.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Couldn't snore.

[DJ Envy]

So they removed the polyps. I didn't touch my nose. My nose is the same.

[Morgan]

Okay, okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

He called you Michael.

[DJ Envy]

Do you still get nervous when you perform?

[Morgan]

What's nervous? Where is it sold? How does it taste? Is it contagious?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Don't.

[Morgan]

We don't do nervous.

[Jess Hilarious]

I know that's right.

[Morgan]

We don't do that.

[DJ Envy]

Not at all. Do you like to go back to those areas that you grew up on?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Like drive through Brooklyn?

[Morgan]

Drive through in America.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Why would I work so hard to leave? Go back. I'm not going back.

[Morgan]

No, sir, but like in Brooklyn.

[DJ Envy]

I mean, like areas in.

[Morgan]

In.

[DJ Envy]

In Brooklyn.

[Morgan]

Yes, exactly. White Plains Road, back in the day, 227, 225th.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes. Do you go back?

[Morgan]

No, sir.

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Morgan]

Don'T go here. You know, I mean, but seriously, why? I'm just staying out of trouble. I don't want to be involved in nothing negative. Never. Yeah, so we stay away from that of it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Well, this weekend you should have your tickets already. If not, it's sold out. You're gonna have to go to StubHub and pay grands and grands and grands for it. But definitely check them out. And we appreciate you for joining us, man.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Anytime, brother. Pull up.

[Morgan]

Yeah, man. Big up, Charlie, man. Big up, DJ Envy. Big up, Jess.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

No. God is the greatest.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Morgan]

And we out.

[DJ Envy]

It's the Breakfast Club. It's vibes Cartania.

[Jess Hilarious]

Lauren becoming a straight face.

[DJ Envy]

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.

[Jess Hilarious]

She gets the detail that knows a little bit about everything.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She'll be having the latest on this.

[Morgan]

The Latest with Lauren LaRosa.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the least on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, so quickly, I want to take a minute to send some love to Jasmine Sullivan. So it was her birthday on the 9th, and people have been posting and telling her happy birthday. She just posted in response to it and let us know that she was thankful for all the love and she really needed it at this time because she recently lost a bab. She said that she's been, you know, trying to heal from the loss of her baby, which she realized would be two months yesterday, and that she's also been, you know, just in her thoughts about her mom. Her mom passed away not a little bit ago. And, you know, she's just been trying to heal from that. She's. So she says to all the fans and everyone who posted and told her happy birthday, she thanks you guys for that because she's dealing with life's a whooping right now. Sending her some love.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Definitely sending her healing energy, man. Salute to Jasmine. Lord have mercy. Everybody going through something.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah. And you never know what people going through either.

[DJ Envy]

That's.

[Jess Hilarious]

That's a big thing. So Neo sat down with Angie Martinez and he talked about his relationship. It answered a lot of the questions that I think some people had about how this whole thing works. So one of the things that they talked about was, you know, just, you know, what are some of the challenges of dealing with. Yes, I believe it's four. Four, four girls. Friends. So let's take a listen to Neo. What are the challenges?

[DJ Envy]

Be honest, because don't make this sound like it's. No, no, no, no. So one of the major challenges is time because I don't have a lot of free time. You know, I have seven beautiful children. I have a career that is still moving. Like, you know, like it's still 2025. I mean, 2025 in this thing. So I don't have a lot of free time. And everybody needs their own individual time. You know, we do things as a group, but in a relationship like this, you have to make sure that individual time is just as poignant as group time. So, you know, there's, you know, certain situations where one may feel like this one is getting a little more attention or this one is getting a little more time or something like that. But again, whenever that happens, I bring everybody together, we all hash it out right then and there. Okay, let's, you know, bring, bring your issue to the table and we resolve it as a group. That's the only way it works. You're having a good time. I'm having a great time. I'm having a great time.

[Jess Hilarious]

Are you tired?

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Jess Hilarious]

I was wondering if that was the main thing I was watching to see, like if he talked about how about his kids or you talking about his wife.

[Morgan]

Women.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

But then also really got like 11 kids. What do you mean? You just call a meeting. This one may feel like I'm spending too much time with this one. It just sounds like he's like a father again, like to a whole another set of kids. And let's hash it out. Put it on the table. What didn't you like today? You know, okay, I didn't suck your toes today, but I did. You know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What about everybody period on at the same time? Oh, that's gotta be something, right?

[Jess Hilarious]

Then he can go, who get a fifth?

[Charlamagne tha God]

And also. But what if everybody period on but one and it's sexy time, so I can only be with sexy time.

[Jess Hilarious]

So.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I can only be with this one. Get jealous or do they say, hey, we understand.

[DJ Envy]

They gotta understand.

[Jess Hilarious]

Well, he, he did say that he takes time with different, you know, the different women separately. But he he said that, you know, there are some times where one woman at the time might be the person that he goes to for movie talk or. Or like he has different. And the cor. A fist balled up. They upset. I think they have an understanding is what it seems like. What I gather from this conversation is that they have an understanding. He does give each woman separate time. Because they're separate. Like, they're. They're all differentials. Yes. Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

They all got a role to play. You got a point guard, you got a center, you got a forward, you got a shooting guard.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yep. He said he might talk to one about art, the other he might watch Zeus with. So he got the best of both worlds.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't want nobody I watch Deuce with. Now, that's the young one. I guarantee you, she the youngest out of all of them.

[Jess Hilarious]

Then he also say that they're not allowed to date anybody else. Yes, he did. And we have that clip. Let's take a listen.

[DJ Envy]

The main rule is just to keep it a buck. Like, we're not going to lie. We're not going to lie to each other. We're not going to sit up and blow smoke.

[Charlamagne tha God]

We not.

[DJ Envy]

I'm. I ain't selling no dreams, and I'm not forcing anybody to be here. If for whatever reason you decide this ain't for you no more. The door is never locked. Everyone that is here is here by choice. Women.

[Charlamagne tha God]

The.

[DJ Envy]

The.

[Morgan]

The.

[Charlamagne tha God]

The most. The question I get asked the most.

[DJ Envy]

Is, are they allowed to date outside of me? That's the question I get all the damn time. Time. And I'm answering right now.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No.

[DJ Envy]

Here's the thing. When I got with these women, I did not ask for their exclusivity. I did not demand their exclusivity. They offered it. I said, you understand that your exclusivity to me does not mean my exclusivity to you? You're okay with this? Yes. Okay, cool. Since you are offering your exclusivity, and I'm. I'm taking it now, there's rules that I need you to follow, but at the same time, I don't do ownership. So should that situation ever, ever come up, nothing is above a conversation.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Drop on the clues. Bumps for Neo. Drop a Koozbum, Neil. Like, I'm the head of this house. I am the head in charge. I am the head of this class. You don't like those rules, head on out.

[Jess Hilarious]

Sure. Well, to each his own.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Is that a life you would want to live?

[Jess Hilarious]

He said he might not Even live it forever. He says right now it's what makes him happy. That's what he wants right now.

[DJ Envy]

Listen to it. It just sounds tired.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Is it a life you would want to try?

[Jess Hilarious]

I think anybody would try.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm not talking to you, Envy. I'm talking to you, Envy.

[Jess Hilarious]

Not going to answer that, Red Envy.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No.

[DJ Envy]

Would you want to try?

[Jess Hilarious]

Huh?

[DJ Envy]

Would you want to try?

[Jess Hilarious]

You can hunt, you can hear. You heard him the first time.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I said no.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I did see Neo the other day though. I saw him when he was up here.

[DJ Envy]

What did you give him a high five or did you?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I gave him a pound.

[DJ Envy]

What did you say?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I gave him a pound.

[DJ Envy]

What did you say?

[Charlamagne tha God]

It don't matter what I said.

[Jess Hilarious]

And what he say to you?

[Charlamagne tha God]

How's that one? I said, hey man, be safe out here in New York. You see what happened with young Buck when he had got caught without his his hat on. Don't get caught out his. That's what I said. No, that's not what I said.

[Jess Hilarious]

His hats don't fall off.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, they don't. They be glued on like that wig you got on right now. You hear me?

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm not the one. Don't even do me like.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But I only know it's glue. Cuz you told me. I thought it was real.

[DJ Envy]

She had a low cut a couple days ago.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But what did I. No. A couple days ago I said, you know why you wigs look good? Cuz they look real.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What the hell?

[DJ Envy]

Why did you point?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Why did you point to Lauren?

[DJ Envy]

Are you saying nobody pointed?

[Charlamagne tha God]

You did point.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, it didn't.

[Jess Hilarious]

Just the same way you didn't hear NBM ask a question. You pointed to me. And Envy, the short hair was a wig too. I just be pulling the wigs off.

[Charlamagne tha God]

They look good.

[DJ Envy]

E was a wig.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

First of all, that was yesterday. No, that was my real hair. Hey, yo, don't play with me.

[DJ Envy]

All right?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Salute to Neo though.

[DJ Envy]

Donkey today, huh?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't know what he sound like Bob Cartel. Just I don't know what the hell you just said before. After the hour, Dr. Keeva Lock needs to come to the front of the congregation. Man, we got to protect our kids. We'll discuss it.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we'll get to that. Next is the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You're checking out the Breakfast Club? I was born a donkey.

[Morgan]

It's the donkey of the day.

[DJ Envy]

That's pretty funny.

[Jess Hilarious]

Charlamagne, the devil.

[DJ Envy]

The Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes. Donkey Today for Friday, April 11th goes to a 53 year old woman named Dr. Keeva Lark. Now, Keeva is from Florida and you know what your Uncle Charlotte always says about the great state of Florida. The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida, and today is no exception. Okay? Dr. Keva Lark is an assistant principal at a middle school in Florida and she was arrested after allegedly forcing a student to massage her feet and saying inappropriate things to him. Let's go to WESH NBC 2 for the report, please. Foot rubs and nicknames. An assistant principal at Lake Marion Creek Middle School in Pontiana is accused of behaving inappropriately with a student, Polk Kennedy. Deputy say 53 year old Dr. Kaiba Lark told a 13 year old boy to rub her feet. It was allegedly punishment for throwing paper during a test. Witnesses say she told the boy she was doing it so he would know what foreplay is for when he gets a girlfriend. Witnesses also told deputies Lark would refer to the boy as sexy Chocolate while passing him in the hallway. Mark told deputies it was a joke and just trying to humble the boy. Ash turns. He turns. He turned to 13 soon, right? 13 Monday he comes home and tells you that. What happens?

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm going up there. What are we talking about?

[Charlamagne tha God]

We just gonna have to homeschool our kids at this point. We are never gonna get a handle on our parental paranoia if we don't. You know what parental paranoia is, right? The anxiety you feel just being a parent. How can you properly function knowing that we are taking our kids to places that are supposed to be safe spaces, places that are supposed to be making them better, but they have to deal with humans like Dr. Keva Lock. Now let the record show I come from an era. Well, older women in my life needed their feet rubbed. God damn it. Okay? I'm from Monks Corner, South Carolina. You already know. Rubbing an older woman's feet was a regular occurrence. At least in my life. But not just any woman. Your grandma. Okay? You're not a good grandchild if you haven't put. Put some warm water and some Epsom salt in a basin and then rubbed your grandmother's feet. Okay, but Dr. Keeva Lark, at 53, you may be old enough to be this 13 year old little boy's grandmother, but that is not your grandmother grandchild. Okay? Not to mention you got a witness who said that you told the child you was doing this so that he would know what foreplay is for when he gets a girlfriend.

[DJ Envy]

What?

[Charlamagne tha God]

You also referred to this little 13 year old boy allegedly is sexy Chocolate while passing him in the hallway at school. Now, she is from a certain era. Was she trying to say sexual chocolate like in coming to America? Either way, it's inappropriate. Listen to me. I feel this young man's pain, okay? It's hard being handsome your whole life, all right? When you are handsome, handsome your whole life, when you got that glow about you. These older women can't control themselves. Trust me, I know. They already experience in menopause hot flashes all the time. And here we come, just all handsome, making them feel intense heat and sweat even more. But just because we've been handsome our whole lives does not give these older women the right to take advantage of us. Now, Dr. Keeva Lark admitted several days later that she crossed the line. She said it was only a jump joke and that she was trying to humble the student. Humble him for what? She even said her actions were inappropriate. But she denied saying anything inappropriate to the student. I have no reason to believe you, ma'am. But I keep stressing this over and over and over again. Give young men that are being taken advantage of by older women the same level of concern you do young girls being taken advantage of by older men. And furthermore, don't become a teacher if you don't have the ability or desire to empower kids. Teachers provide kids with the tools and opportunities to learn, grow, and become confident, okay? We're trying to have teachers that are raising young men and girls to be capable individuals in this society. If you just a predator getting into education because you want to hurt kids, do us all the biggest favor and die, okay? You can't be out here as a 53 year old woman assistant principal getting your feet rubbed by a 13 year old allegedly calling them sexy chocolate and telling him that you want him to know what foreplay is for when he gets a girlfriend. Oh, God.

[Morgan]

Here.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What? Oh, what? Mac.

[Morgan]

What?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Oh, my big Mac. Medium sized Mac just walking. Nah, nah.

[DJ Envy]

I just. You were saying some things I didn't all the way agree with.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Hear me out.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, boy. No, no, for real. Now listen to me.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Think about what she's doing. She's doing a good circle service for Because. Nah, don't look at me like that. And we think about it. How many things did you learn in school that you do not use today? Mac long division. Why did I learn that?

[DJ Envy]

Right. No, wait. I'm trying to talk to the people. Think about it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Nobody write that.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, the square root of why.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

Why?

[Charlamagne tha God]

What? All right, man. But rubbing a female's feet for foreplay. How many women really wish I Am currently. How many women wish they man did that? I am holding up Dr. Keeble Lark's mug shot to the camera. Camera, right. Just hilarious.

[DJ Envy]

Doing God's work.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Going around the room. I'm showing DJ envy.

[Jess Hilarious]

Doing God's work.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm showing red are bored up now. I will show Big Mac. Big Mac. This is the woman doctor. This is.

[DJ Envy]

No her.

[Charlamagne tha God]

This is the her. Oh, she handsome. Yes. Okay, now you were saying? So listen teachers, you take a oath to educate the kids. You not be doing stuff like this out here. No, no, I'm staying in. That's right.

[DJ Envy]

Give her two donkeys now.

[Morgan]

That's right.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Please give Dr. Kea Lark the biggest he hawk.

[Jess Hilarious]

Let me see.

[Charlamagne tha God]

We should have played the game.

[Jess Hilarious]

She looked like she should have played in the game.

[DJ Envy]

I never would expect.

[Jess Hilarious]

I didn't expect that.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Really?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

I would never know.

[DJ Envy]

Hell no.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, I did not.

[DJ Envy]

That looked like one of drewy studs.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh my God.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, don't do that.

[DJ Envy]

Uhhuh.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That could have been love too.

[Jess Hilarious]

Absolutely.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She do look like all my life I had to fight. She wants to Selma. She got her 2000 steps and walking to Selma. Her feet hurt. She needed her feet rub, just not by somebody else's 13 year old child. Lord have mercy.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, thank you for that donkey today. Now when we come back, Anthony.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Anthony. Eyes got back.

[Morgan]

You know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Check bags. Jesus Christ.

[DJ Envy]

She looks stressed.

[Charlamagne tha God]

God bless her.

[DJ Envy]

Her feet look like they hurt.

[Charlamagne tha God]

God bless.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Anthony Anderson. Marse Mar. And when we come back, the Breakfast Club.

[Morgan]

Good morning.

[Charlamagne tha God]

The Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special. We have special guests in the building. Just one is just running a little late. The first special guest we have is Anthony Anderson. Welcome, brother.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What's going on, baby? How you feel?

[DJ Envy]

I'm good, I'm good.

[Charlamagne tha God]

All right. Marseille Martin was supposed to be here. But you said you blame yourself for her. You know, it's my fault that she has become the star that she. And I don't blame her. But she, she, she Hollywood today she's 16 minutes late when y'all are filming together. Because y'all in the new movie together. G20.

[DJ Envy]

G20.

[Charlamagne tha God]

When y'all filming together, how do you get out of the rhythm and mind state of Blackish? Because y'all did that for so long. Yeah, you know what?

[Morgan]

That.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That was something that we never really discussed while we were on set. You know, Viola, you know, requested me to be her Husband. And then they were looking for someone to play our child or children. And I told them to hire my Marseille. And never once did Marseille and I discuss the rhythm that we have had because we have a great shorthand with one another for eight years and 175 episodes of Blackish. But, you know, I made it. I wanted to make sure that no one confused that or saw us falling to that pattern just as actors and knowing someone the way that we do. And I hope we didn't. Did you guys, you guys see the movie yet?

[DJ Envy]

I seen some of it. Okay.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't think, I don't think we did, you know, and it's something that we never discussed with one another, but it's something that we talked about, you know, since we've been out doing press and people ask us that question. She's here, ladies and gentlemen. She. She's here. Hello. She's here. How are you?

[Morgan]

Oh, good morning.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I. Oh my God. It was worth the wait.

[DJ Envy]

Good morning.

[Charlamagne tha God]

It was worth the wait. I saw. I'm going be honest with you. He was just talking about you. He definitely was. She knows.

[Jess Hilarious]

She knows.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And I told him I created this monster. Both of you and Viola play ex military in this yes. Film. When she calls you, you say, okay, I got to get in some type of shape because I know Viola gonna be in shape. How do you know he wasn't in shape before? Action figure. What? You read the script? I got my ass kicked. I was like, I ain't gotta train for that. But no, no, you know, I thought I was, I. I thought I was an decent shape to portray whatever it is.

[DJ Envy]

The world is constantly changing. It's up to you to decide how to respond. Choose to be bold, to try something new. Choose to reinvent yourself.

Before we get back to it, I want to take a second for our sponsor. Stand up to all the Hate Now. You know we joke, we debate, we even push buttons sometimes. But spreading the hate? That's never the right move. There's a difference between keeping it real and just being reckless. Let's do better, respect each other and leave the hate out of it. There's no reason to hate even in my household. I have six kids and I don't let my children use the word hate. There's no reason to hate on anybody. It's always better to uplift, empower and make sure that we support so join us at the Breakfast Club in Standing up to all hate. If you see someone getting hate, speak up and call it out. Your voice is one of the most powerful tools there is in this fight and you can learn more by following SAT'sUPwithHate or show your support by posting the Blue square emoji and using the hashtag stayinguptoallhate on Instagram and TikTok.

Needed me to do in in this film and it was, it was cool. It was great. But yeah, when you get a call from not just Viola Davis. Viola is an ego. I mean, you know, when somebody like that requests you, you know you have to show up and show out and I believe that's what we all did, Marseille included. Right.

[DJ Envy]

Now, Marseille, how's it dealing with Anthony? Because he's been in your life for so long, right? And this is when you were a lot younger. You're 20 years old now. How is it dealing with.

[Jess Hilarious]

I've been through this before. I played these games before.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't need that.

[Jess Hilarious]

These games before.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I mean, I was. I was just gonna d it all up. Just go, Just go. Just be honest. Just go talk to him. Just talk to him. Don't worry about it.

[Morgan]

Speak from the heart.

[DJ Envy]

Speak from the heart.

[Jess Hilarious]

He is always and will forever be like my bonus dad. I love him so much. He's. He's seen me from ever since, basically I came out the womb to now.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Well, not that far back. I mean, your real daddy has something to do with that?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, I. Well, I was 8.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, that's true.

[Jess Hilarious]

So it's been a minute. And I mean, it was. It was so much fun. And honestly, it was filming once again. It just was like, picking up where we left off. So.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But I want to say this about Marseille. Marseille came in and auditioned for Black ish at 8 years old.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I witnessed her greatness. Everything that the world is seeing right now, I witnessed this at 8. And I pulled her aside and I told her that this. And. And. And this is where she is. I also told her that one day I'm gonna be coming to her and begging for a job. So I just need you to remember this moment right here. So when I come to you, you got my back. And she was like, I got you now.

[DJ Envy]

You promised her a call when she turned 16. Was that true?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I mean, everybody want to talk about that. I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

I'm just curious. I just want to know if you followed through.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I did.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, you followed through.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I didn't follow. No. I promised you.

[Jess Hilarious]

How old is she?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Four years. First off, she ain't got a driver's license.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay. I was.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm a responsible parent. I was going to say, I'm a responsible parent.

[Jess Hilarious]

He didn't know that for a minute, though. He just didn't.

[Charlamagne tha God]

He didn't. You don't think I keep in contact with your mama and your daddy for.

[Jess Hilarious]

In real life, I talk to them, but still, they. They ain't like, oh, mar got a license.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But do you have a license?

[Jess Hilarious]

I don't. That's why you ain't grown. Grownish. I do have a car.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She doesn't just have a car. She has a vehicle.

[Jess Hilarious]

I have a car. I have a Nice one.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You ain't got. Stop.

[Morgan]

Why you telling them what you got?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Just. I just. I. I have something the world don't need. A luxury. She has a luxury vehicle with. No, not even a license. She ain't even got a driver's permit.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay.

[DJ Envy]

She just have a driver.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You know what we call that? We call that.

[DJ Envy]

Have you met her real mama and daddy? Hey, yo, Jesus, you need to meet Carolyn Johnston.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Right on point.

[Jess Hilarious]

Listen, listen, it's, it's there whenever, whenever I decide to take that. I, I definitely said I wanted to get it before I turned 21. I can't be legal in these spaces and not.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You've been in these streets for a while. And Anna, Brad, she no longer wants the car that she asked me for. So I'm good. I'm off the hook.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She wanted a purple electric car. I'm not gonna mention the name, but she wanted a purple electric car and I was gonna get it for you. I went shopping.

[Morgan]

No, I literally.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I went to the, I went to the electric car place and, and, and built it for her and all that. Funny.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, I did.

[DJ Envy]

So tell us about G20.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Tell about that G Wagon you got. Since we talking about G20 got run flat tires.

[Jess Hilarious]

Let's promote. Let's promote.

[Morgan]

Okay.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I thought we were promoting your, your G Wagon. No, let's talk about this movie, G20 that starts streaming globally. We just don't make regional movies. We make global movies, baby girl. Ask you about that, Anthony, because I feel like your international presence has grown tremendously. Have you been intentional about that? Always been intentional about that, man. And, and you know what? It started when, when I started making movies with Jet Li 20 some odd years ago. First one was Romeo Must Die and that really was just on a global scale. And, and then to be able to work with some of the people that I've worked with in almost 30 years, man. You know, with Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, Jim Carrey, the Farrelly brothers, Martin Scorsese, crazy. You know, just people like that. It just continues to grow and get bigger. Yeah, so it's, it's, it really been intentional. And it's also intentional to move away from the comedy at one point to do more dramatic roles so I wouldn't just be typecast. It's just a fat, funny dude. It was like, no, this is what I do. I've been training at this since I was 9 years old. So let me really show you my range and what I can do. And so we were, I was able to do that by Doing shows like Law and Order and the Shield and movies like Hustle and Fleet Slow and the Departed and things like that. All of those were strategic moves. Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

And speaking of range, how was it seeing Viola Davis in her action?

[DJ Envy]

She's not real action.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, no, it's definitely not an act, let me tell you.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, I said she's a hack. No, I didn't say it's an. I heard you. No, no, they were like, she's an actor.

[Jess Hilarious]

Just hear. I didn't know what you said.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, it was. It was.

[Jess Hilarious]

It was amazing.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You've seen Viola cry on screen. Snot bubble, you know, and all that. We didn't even made a joke about her and her snot bubbles and tears on Blackish. It was. It was great to.

[DJ Envy]

To work, you know.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You don't talk about Viola snot bubble enough. That was like Denzel's glory tip. Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, my God, that was.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, but working with Viola was. Was a dream come true. And. And I mean, look, man, she's an EGOT. Yeah, yeah, it's. There are only about 18 EGOTs in the world, and, you know, we got to work with one in a very special way.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we have more with Anthony Anderson and Marseille Martin when we come back. Their new movie, G20, is available on Amazon Prime. Now it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Morning, everybody.

[DJ Envy]

It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Anthony Anderson and Martin Marse. Martin, their new movie G20 is out right now.

[Jess Hilarious]

Jess, what does a Blackish reunion look like?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't think it's ever gonna happen.

[Jess Hilarious]

Damn.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Marseille don't show up to things. Damn.

[Jess Hilarious]

Why are you putting all this on me?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I can't put it on Tracy.

[Jess Hilarious]

Why not me?

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, we. We would love to have a.

[Morgan]

We would love.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And I hope we have a Blackish reunion soon. How long has it been since the show ended?

[Jess Hilarious]

Like, two, three years?

[Charlamagne tha God]

It's going on three years. Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

I was 17 going on 18, so.

[Morgan]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

How close is everybody? The cast got Everybody still keep in touch? Yes. My. My twin, Miles, he's. He's truly my best friend.

[Charlamagne tha God]

We call him Playboy Cardi now.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes. He's in his Playboy Cardi era. Love him.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Redsman face tattoos. No, no, not yet. Playboy car.

[Jess Hilarious]

You gotta.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Okay, well, I had to stop calling my man Playboy card again.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm had to think of another really like. But no, he's my best friend.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I didn't want to put that on him.

[Jess Hilarious]

We have A friend group, like, all together, and we're working on some things as a whole. And did you call him back last night?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Did you FaceTime him after we were done?

[Jess Hilarious]

No, I went to sleep. He knows.

[Charlamagne tha God]

He knows it's cold.

[Jess Hilarious]

Mentally, so I'll be. I'll be turning off my phone, but we talk all the time.

[Charlamagne tha God]

How much did this role scratch you, Anthony? Cuz, you know, you said it's a drama and, like, you all know, for the comedy. And you're also playing, like, the. The. The. The nurturer role. You.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, like, my man's not an actor.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Like, the head of the household in this one.

[Morgan]

No, I'm.

[DJ Envy]

Talk to you like that.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, no, I'm not. I mean, he's asking questions. I. I get it. He didn't. He didn't see nothing. So, you know, again, goes back to, you know, the dynamic between Marseille and I, you know, not falling into that shorthand that we have. And, you know, I've been a part of some great films with action in them. I've never been a part of an action film. And so I just had to be prepared for that, to make sure that it was believable. And it's not. Oh, that's just Ann up there going through the motions and doing that. So, you know, I. I showed up, you know, as I could. And to answer your question about, you know, it. It's. It's role reversal. You know, normally the. The man is the President of the United States, you know, and. And the first lady is being the nurturer, so these roles were reversed. Yeah. You know, and you rarely get to see that, you know, and. And I was playing the nurturing role in. In this character or with this character from my children, and allowing the power. Not that women don't have power, use that power and have that power in films, but allowing Viola's character. Character had to have that power and wield it and not be emasculated by it. And just understand that I'm standing next to this right here. We're in this together. But she has her role and I have mine. So I just wanted to make sure I showed up for that and. And not fall flat until people's like, okay, that was believable. That was real. Could you be in a relationship like that in real life?

[Morgan]

I could.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm secure in. In my masculinity and my manhood and who I am and what I bring to the table. So, yeah, I could definitely, definitely be secure in a relationship. You would have to have the Money and power though. It doesn't matter. We're a team. How does that work for you, Marseille? Because you're the boss. Yeah. You got your own production company. You are a boss.

[DJ Envy]

Yes.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You know, how would you want the man to show up? Oh my.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, I think honestly, I think it's communication and listening and understanding and a willing to understand. I feel like at times I've had a mo. Multiple conversations with a bunch of different people and I think the main thing is them ready to respond without actually listening and understanding what the whole situation.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You hear that race car driver guy and. Oh God.

[Jess Hilarious]

And he's really, he's really great at that, honestly. Like the, like he great at being.

[Charlamagne tha God]

A race car driver. Great at being what you need in relationship.

[Jess Hilarious]

Emotional, vulnerable, understanding.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, he is. Look, you know, I get that from, from the two com. Two or three conversations that I have with him.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jess Hilarious]

No, he's. He's great. And I mean I think what's. What's important is, is that because if.

[Charlamagne tha God]

He wasn't, I was gonna run him off.

[DJ Envy]

Embarrassing dad. That's what it just seemed like.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Just being real. Hey, man, you not good enough. But he is. He's.

[Jess Hilarious]

He's. He's the best. I know you got your production company and everything and you've done a lot.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She about to ask you for a job?

[Morgan]

No, it wasn't.

[Jess Hilarious]

I didn't even ask. Nothing yet.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Damn.

[Jess Hilarious]

I. I wanted to know what else did you want to do? You know, you at a very young age, you've done so much. You still got a lot more life to live and a lot more career to go. What else do you want to do? I think seeing how far my creativity can get. I'm working on my festival right now, which is very world building for me, which is very exciting. It'll be. What's the festival? It's called say Summer Cookout and it's a destination type of festival. So the first year was in Atlanta. Second year years it was in D.C. this year it'll be in Houston.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

In August 31st. So what do we do there? What do we do? It's a black owned businesses, vendors from. It's like Texas based vendors. This year we have performers, of course that is from and cater to that community and it's HBCU centered. So I think that is something that I've always wanted to do. It's a. It's an avenue that I feel like is so untouched and mostly overlooked and I, I'm very excited to and also be in touch with new adults my age, you know, going through the same things. I mean, even though I'm doing this and you see a camera on my face, there is no difference between that person when the camera goes off, so. And it's no phones. It's no phones. Oh, wow. The first year we did no plus ones. It was literally come as you are. And to be able to have these celebrities and these students want to become them one day or do something in that light, and they have real conversations at the cookout. Yeah, I mean, it's. It's something that I've truly wanted to do. And then I'm on top of that. We have podcasts, of course, still movies coming up. I have a movie coming out with Corny B. Vance soon, which is very exciting.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's okay. We're not. We're not. We're not. We're not here to talk about those movies.

[DJ Envy]

Well, G20 is streaming now on Amazon.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Not just streaming now, streaming globally. Tell the people globally we don't make regional films.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you so much, Martin and Anthony Anderson.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I thought you forgot about me.

[DJ Envy]

She told me to say her name first.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, no, she should.

[DJ Envy]

No, no.

[Jess Hilarious]

How did I do that?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, you just did.

[DJ Envy]

Texted me.

[Charlamagne tha God]

By showing up the way that you did, they know who the real diva is. You've earned it, Mar. Yes, you have your young 20 years of life first on the call sheet.

[DJ Envy]

She was the reason.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She was the reason we got the first three seasons of Blackish on the air. I'm just going to give it to her.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, it's going to be where some somehow, some way he play your son. Somehow, some have to do that so.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She can son me.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Jess Hilarious]

And then you got to put me.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Let's make it a horror free. It has to be a horror flick.

[Jess Hilarious]

That was all her.

[Charlamagne tha God]

It's the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to Pastor Orcs.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, dj, come spin now. Come spin.

[DJ Envy]

What's up, Nyla?

[Jess Hilarious]

What's up, guys? Hey, girl.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Big Nyla Simone.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes. How are y'all, man?

[Charlamagne tha God]

You fresh off Dreamville Fest?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes, I had a good. I had a great time.

[DJ Envy]

It was raining. Weather was nasty.

[Jess Hilarious]

It was raining all weekend.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah. I was like.

[Jess Hilarious]

You come to cuss word?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes, it is.

[Jess Hilarious]

No. Is it?

[DJ Envy]

We have a quota and just passed that quota a long time ago.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, my God.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And we got some perceptuals back and they said, this is why I love white people. Love this radio station because that statement is said a lot here on this show. I hate and what.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm not saying it no more, but I hate people that say they gonna do something and then don't do it. No one else is looking for you. Black people probably. Jess, I'm not gonna drag you into it, but envy.

[DJ Envy]

I was supposed to come Sunday, but I didn't. The weather was disgusting, and it was.

[Jess Hilarious]

You went Friday, Saturday, and the whole. Yeah, I threw a party Friday. Then Saturday and Sunday, I just was outside.

[DJ Envy]

So tell us about it.

[Jess Hilarious]

It was fire. I want to say this was Cole's best set list ever. I think he usually does, like, the same order, but this time he did a lot of, like, mixtape B sides, like the songs people who are real friends actually listen to. So that was dope, obviously.

[DJ Envy]

Juvie.

[Jess Hilarious]

Manny Wayne, dope. Erykah Badu. Magical. I finally got to see Erykah Badu last, so that was really dope.

[DJ Envy]

Killed it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Where my merch? Where my certified vibe merch?

[Jess Hilarious]

He's right there.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Hey.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, I got you. See, I'm prepared. Okay, I'm prepared, but nice.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You got this week, though.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes, it was dope. Okay, this week I want to get into Deontay Hitchcock. He actually just dropped an album. This is his first project since being an indie artist. So he's been in, like, a label deal that had him stuck and he couldn't really do anything. So now that he's free, he's out. And the song that I like the most so far is called Born Broke, Die Rich. I ain't gonna lie. I used to rap like that when I was on a perky.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes, Devonte can rap his ass off, though. I've been rapp. I've been liking him for a long time. I used to post his videos back in the day when he used to be rapping in the car.

[Jess Hilarious]

Yes, those car freestyles.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That was years ago.

[Jess Hilarious]

Atlanta.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, okay.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay. That's what's up. Yeah, also, the clean version doesn't really do any justice, so definitely make sure you guys go check out the project because it's fire. You really got this wig in the studio. Oh, my God. Okay, next I'm gonna go with this Quavo and little baby record. It's called Legends.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I feel like I've heard heard that a million times already. You know what I mean?

[Jess Hilarious]

Yeah, no, I get it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Sound like a version of, like, several different songs I've heard over the years. And it feel like. I mean, it's Never really too late, but it feel like it's a little too late. Like, there was a moment when. Like, when QC was red hot. I would have loved that. Amigos little baby.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that's quav. But you know what?

[Morgan]

The.

[DJ Envy]

The ad lib still. I still miss those ad libs, though.

[Jess Hilarious]

Oh, yeah. You talking about the Migos Amigos ad.

[DJ Envy]

Libs and Amigos records, though.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I felt like and take off would have been, you know, Takeoff would have floated on that. You know what I'm saying?

[Jess Hilarious]

I feel like I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't highlight the record, that's all. But they did say about it, I don't love it. I feel the same way you guys feel. But Lauren was saying that Offset tweeted a trash can and then deleted it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't know.

[Jess Hilarious]

Not my thing.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Geez.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, so I have two more records. This one is from Rayvon, and it's actually a pretty serious record. He's telling his life story. It's called Flat. I love that one. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Thumbs up for that. Yeah. Rayvon's great at storytelling, if you guys are into storytelling. Definitely. Definitely. Make sure you guys tap in. And then my last one is our R B record. It's Dustin Conrad and Tizo Touchdown. It's called the Last Time. What y'all think? I was curious because.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Nice vibe.

[Jess Hilarious]

Nice vibe.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Not mad at the vibe.

[Jess Hilarious]

It's cool. Okay. Younger generation loves Dustin Conrad.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Don't try to blame it on young on youth. Jess is only 33. Yo.

[Jess Hilarious]

There's a.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Little.

[Jess Hilarious]

I'm just saying they, like. They are a big deal. I feel like for some reason, the disconnect. There's a disconnect. Like Eli was in the other room. Like, this is the jam. It's going down, and then you guys are in here.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Like, you know, Eli was out three days. He had to get his stomach pumped.

[Jess Hilarious]

What does that got to do with anything?

[Charlamagne tha God]

His mom want too much owl seing.

[Jess Hilarious]

Okay, So I don't think nothing he.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Said serious about nobody. All right.

[DJ Envy]

Wow.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Did that guy have any connection to OVO who you just played?

[Jess Hilarious]
