It was cool. It was cool. I had to take care of some business, but it was cool.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was really, really good. Charlamagne. I had a great weekend. You know what I realized this weekend is. And I know this sounds crazy coming from a Dallas Cowboy fan, but what's that? Watching football when your team ain't playing this kind of year is really trash. No, it's not.

[DJ Envy]

This game this weekend was actually dope.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but, you know, I need some emotional stakes. You know what I mean? I started feeling anxiety for teams that ain't even mine.

[Angela Yee]

Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I mean? I started rooting sitting there wack. Come on, Jacksonville, pull it out. You know what I mean? Because if I can't be happy, I want to see my guy Lil Duvall, happy. Then when I found myself, you know, rooting for the. I wasn't rooting for you.

[DJ Envy]

He was rooting for the Eagles.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I thought about it for one split second, and then I remember my homegirl, Brenda, this 49ers fan. So I was like, you know what? 49ers, pull it out, because we got a bunch of Eagles fans up here who will be heartbreaking. So God bless them.

[Fetty Wap]

And it is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, they are. They very heartbreaking.

That's all I remember.

[Fetty Wap]

That's.

[DJ Envy]

That's it.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

It's more of Philly fans up here than anything, though. It is like, on a producer's team, definitely.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

But I'm upset because, I mean, now they can fly back with me. I mean, the Ravens, that's how I felt last week. And then they even fired John Harbaugh, so.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But I thought that the playoffs, first.

[DJ Envy]

Week in the football season with my Giants.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

But now it was a great weekend for sports. I mean, all the games were pretty close, so I loved it. Had a good weekend.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, no, it was a. If you're, if you're a football fan like we are, it was definitely some great football on, but it's just trash when you know your team not playing. Like, I don't have to watch this.

[Fetty Wap]

All right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Which is why I was in bed by 9 o' clock last night.

[Fetty Wap]

Me too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Even though I did want to stay up because the Patriots game.

[DJ Envy]

Golden Globes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, after the Patriots game, Bill Simmons went live on Netflix.

[Fetty Wap]

Oh, did he?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And you know, being that that's what we be we're going to be doing on January 26, Breakfast Club will be on Netflix. I wanted to see how it was, but I didn't stay up for that either. No.

[DJ Envy]

The Patriots game was too late. I was not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who won? Patriots, right? Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Patriots won last night. All right. And salute to all the nurses out in the New York City area. The nurses this morning are possibly going on strike in the next five minutes.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Why?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, they haven't five minutes in the next five minutes. They said between 6, 6:05 so they should start striking.

[Fetty Wap]

What's going on?

[DJ Envy]

They haven't met their deal. So they would negotiate a new deal. They haven't negotiated a new deal with some of the big hospitals in the city. So they're going to go on strike this morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So that's very specific. And that sounds like they don't really want to strike. It sounds like they put out an ultimatum and nobody met it. And it's like y' all got five more minutes. No, you don't do it in bio.

[Angela Yee]

That is so messed up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Five minutes. I promise you I'm gonna do it.

[DJ Envy]

[DJ Envy]

What's up, Mimi?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Peace.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Mimi.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Bro.

[DJ Envy]

Good morning.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, Charlamagne. Jess, how y' all doing?

[Angela Yee]

Hey, Mimi. Good morning.

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning. Okay, so we start this morning in Minnesota, where the city of Minneapolis, it is still reeling after a deadly ice encounter, and where tensions are only escal. Escalating. Now, Renee Good, she was shot and killed Last week during an ICE operation, she was 37 years old. Federal officials, they confirmed the agent involved was part of a specialized ICE tactical unit. Now, since that shooting, Minneapolis, they have been on edge. Federal authorities have deployed hundreds more ICE and Homeland Security personnel into the city, marking one of the largest enforcement operations yet. Now, that heavier federal presence, it is sparking growing protests nationwide and public outcry. Dozens of people have been arrested. And three Democratic members of Congress say they were denied access when they tried to enter an ICE facility to conduct oversight. Local and state leaders, they are now clashing with the federal government over the investigation itself. Minnesota officials, they want a joint probe with the FBI, but say they've been cut off from evidence and interviews. As a result, the FBI is now investigating that case alone. And at the center of all of this is the Trump administration's response.

[Fetty Wap]

Response.

[Mimi Brown]

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, she is defending federal actions, calling the incident domestic terrorism. And the administration has also released new video. They released it over the weekend showing the minutes leading up to the confrontation. In. In an exchange with CNN's Jake Tapper yesterday, Noem, she was pressed about the footage and the growing federal presence in the city. Now, we want to warn you, warn you, some of the audio that you are about to hear may be hard to listen to. Let's listen.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Get out of the car.

[Fetty Wap]

Good.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Is that Agent Ross's voice calling Renee Good a bitch? I can't determine which one it is, but it could be. Sir, if you look at what the definition of domestic terrorism is, it completely fits this situation on the ground. This individual, as you saw in the video that we released just 48 hours after this incident showed that this officer was hit by her vehicle, she weaponized it, and he defended his life and those colleagues around him and the public. What evidence are you looking at that so many other people around the country look at? And they say, it looked to me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Her tires were turned to the right, she was moving her car, and they.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

See a woman trying to flee. Jake, I'm watching the videos. Other people coming to a different conclusion. Everything that we've stated as the Department of Homeland Security Security in this administration has been factual. And I wish we would talk factually about what we see every day from these protesters, what they do, what they say, how they chant over and over, kill ice, attack law enforcement, how they're trained to perpetuate violence against them and to stop the work that they do every day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, it was domestic terrorism, but not from Renee Good. It was domestic terrorism from the ICE Agent. And, I mean, I wish Jake Tapper would have asked her, you know, why are Republicans so hell bent on getting us to believe that we didn't see what we all saw?

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

That new video was nothing different.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's not like it was.

[DJ Envy]

It was just a different angle of the same nastiness and the same disrespect and the same killing.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He called out the first video bitch after he shot and killed her.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on, man.

[DJ Envy]

The wheels would not turn towards him like you. It's. Oh, my goodness. Makes no sense.

[Mimi Brown]

Absolutely. And now this story, though, is taking a very different spotlight. It took center stage last night at the Golden Globes. On the red carpet, celebrities including Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes, Jean Smart, and others, they wore pins that said, ice out and be good, honoring Renee Good and calling attention to ICE enforcement nationwide. Ruffalo, he was asked directly why he chose to wear the pin. Let's listen to what he had to.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Say for Renee Nicole Good, who is murdered. Listen, I, I, I want to pretend like this. I want to be here to celebrate, and I am here to celebrate.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

And I'm proud to have a Golden Globe nomination.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But also, this is not normal anymore. And so I don't know how I, how I could be quiet.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

We have a vice president who's lying about what's happening. We have a.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're in the middle of a war with Venezuela that we illegally invaded. He's telling the world that international law doesn't matter to him. The only thing that matters to him is his own morality. But the guy is a convicted felon or convicted rapist.

[DJ Envy]

He's a pedophile.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He's the worst human being. If we're relying on this guy's morality.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

For the most powerful country in the world, then we're all in a lot of trouble.

[Fetty Wap]

This is for her.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is for the people in the United States who are terrorized and scared today. I know I'm one of them. I love this country. And what I'm seeing here happening is not America.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, it is America. It's always been America. It is America.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Mimi Brown]

And not everyone agreed with him. On the red carpet, Bill Maher, he was also there. He was asked about the pins and the message that they sent, and very quickly, this is what he had to say.

[Fetty Wap]

Come on. We're just here for show business today. You know, it was a terrible thing that happened, and it shouldn't have happened. And if they didn't act like such thugs, it wouldn't have had to happen. But I Don't need to wear a pin about it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

See, when he says they shouldn't have acted like such thugs, who is he talking about? Because. Because. Because the ICE agent was the one acting like a thug. He talked about Renee Good.

[Mimi Brown]

At Ice Age, it seems that he is talking about Renee Good. I don't want to put words in his mouth, but when he said, you know, we don't need pins, it just seems like that's what, you know, who he was referring to. So just very, very different opinions out there on the red carpet. And just really quickly, to the Trump administration, they have stopped about $129 million in federal SNAP benefits going into Minnesota. And so they want the state to prove that there's no fraud. So just seemed like Minnesota is in the crosshairs right now. The Trump administration and state and local leaders, they say there's no evidence to justify that freeze, and they plan to take them to court.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's got to be oil in Minnesota. It has to be oil in Minnesota. I don't understand. What. Why is Minnesota ground zero for all of these things?

[Fetty Wap]

My goodness.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Mimi Brown]

[DJ Envy]

Who's this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hello?

[DJ Envy]

Hey, what's your name, bro?

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Hello?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, it's New Jersey.

[DJ Envy]

Well, from Jersey.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just briefly, I just want to highlight the fact that it's like we're going through now. And I don't know if you guys or know what a Ross access is, is when you know, the doctor gives you a picture of something and you give your interpretation of it and then it is what you see. But now in real life, it's like certain things that used to be cut and dry. You see a square It's a square. You circle. It's a circle. There's no argument about that. But we're in the point of the country now that we can look at the same exact thing and something is cut and dry as murder and justify it or look at it totally different. You have people that can look at what happened in Minnesota to most people like, okay, that was wrong. But then there's other people that go into that same exact situation and justify it. And then some of those same people will look at what happened on January 6, where most people will look at like, nope, that was wrong what those people did. And there's other people that would justify it. And so if we're at a point in this country where we can't look at things that are basically absolute and not have the same opinion on this is right and this is wrong, and we all see that with the same vision, we're in trouble. If we can't start at a baseline of what decency is and what right and wrong is, then everything else is totally off the table. You're right. They treating murder the way men treat getting caught, cheating. You know what I'm saying? But you should be able to. There's things that you can justify your opinion for the fact that, like, you know, Eddie Murphy had that joke. You want to believe me or your lion eyes. Kristi Noem can say whatever she wants to say. We know what we saw and it was wrong. And envy. You pointed out the fact that the wheels was turning, but on one of the other pictures, not in addition to the wheels was turning. You could see her on taking her hands and turning the steering wheel away so the wheels were turned. But you could see her acting, so that shows in tick. She was turning, using her arms double double steering or whatever to pull us the steering wheel away. So that's all I want to say. If we can't see right and right and wrong is wrong, we're lost. And that's what it should be about. Man, you. You are so accurate. That's exactly what it should be about. Right. Right is right and wrong is wrong. You know what I mean? Like, if we're saying you got these people out here that got a job to do, which are the ICE agents, okay, do their job. Do I want people impeding them doing their job? No, but I don't don't want them killing folks either.

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Fetty Wap]

Hello?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who's this? Happy New Year. What's up, Envy?

[DJ Envy]

What's up, Travis?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Charlemagne. Peace, sis. What's happening? Hey, man. First I want to say God is good all the time and all the time. God is good time, baby. Hey, Envy. I'm so happy to see Peyton is back. Back up and moving.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, she's doing. She's back. She's back to 100, man. She's doing so well, man, that. I mean, those doctors and nurses and God put, put, put. Put their hands on my baby and. Oh, man, she's back to normal, brother.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I have a genuine love for you, man, and I'm definitely glad to see that. That your baby's back and. Yeah, back to health. Back to good health and everything, man.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, Solomon.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What, Trav? I was having a great. I was having a great new year. No, I was having a good new year. I was having a good new year. I ain't beef with nobody this year. Oh, good.

[Angela Yee]

Guess what? What?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And then here comes Charlemagne. What I do?

[Fetty Wap]

What he do?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Running his mouth about J. Cole. I was not running my mouth about J. Cole. The fall off is supposed to be coming soon. And all I said was I'm interested to hear what J. Cole's gonna be rapping about, because it's clearly not about being the number one rapper no more. So I just want to say that J. Cole is still the number one rapper to you. Can't nobody rap better than J. Cole. And by the way, we. We don't know if anybody can rap better than J. Cole, because when he had the opportunity to prove that in a rap battle, he bowed out. Oh, my God.

[Angela Yee]

You know what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They're not gonna do that this year with Charlamagne.

[DJ Envy]

I think he's gonna do that all the time. He hasn't stopped.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know why. I mean, you can't rewrite history. Bye.

[Angela Yee]

Bye.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's the gayest trap has ever sounded. And I've known trav for 15 years. He's never sounded that gay. Bye. Ever. Like, never ever by.

[DJ Envy]

Get it off your chest. 800-585-105. Well, we got the latest valorant coming up. What we talking about, Lauren?

[Angela Yee]

Dude. Good morning. The Golden Globes. And Teyana Taylor, who stole the night. She took the first Golden Globe. Home of the night. Her first Golden Globe. So we have a lot to celebrate this morning and a lot to talk about.

[Angela Yee]

Every lesson, every test and every blessing. Thank you to the Golden Globe voters.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

For seeing me and reminding me that.

[Angela Yee]

Purpose Always find this moment. To my tribe. Oh my God, my grounding force, my joy, my daily reminder that love is an action. The crew, every single person who has touched this Project.

[Mimi Brown]

None of this is taken lightly and.

[Angela Yee]

None of this is taken for granted.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, my God.

[Angela Yee]

This heavy. And last, but most importantly, to my brown sister and little brown girls watching tonight, our softness is not a liability. Our death is not too much. Our light does not need permission to shine. We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter and our dreams deserve space. Thank you so much, everybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Dropping the clues bomb for Ttiana Taylor. She deserves it. Well deserved.

[DJ Envy]

Well deserved.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Tiana is proof that delay is never denial, because everyone is always like, oh, Teyana's a star. When is it going to happen for her? Musically, man, you haven't been paying attention to what she's been doing in all facets of entertainment. And the illest thing about Teyana Taylor is she is truly just getting started.

[Angela Yee]

Yep.

[Mimi Brown]

Yes.

[Angela Yee]

And doing it on her own time in her own way.

[Fetty Wap]

That's right.

[DJ Envy]

Like you said, the dope thing is acting. It's choreography, it's music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, she's incredible in front of the camera and behind the camera. Like, Teyana Taylor is literally just scratching the surface.

[Angela Yee]

I was so happy for her. I think the best thing, too, is last night when she won. I feel like a lot of the conversation, even just amongst the people I was watching it with was like, we feel like we watched so much of her journey. So you feel the win. So shout out to it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We've been watching Tiana since she was 16.

[Fetty Wap]

I know.

[Angela Yee]

Literally like. Yes. Like, literally, like. So it feels. I don't know, it just feels better or not better, but it feels good. It feels like you been able to see it from the girlfriend.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It is hilarious how people went from the Golden Globes. Got it right. Yeah. TT and then when Sinners didn't win nothing, they showed the trash.

[Angela Yee]

We don't get that. Okay, so look, so here's the thing, because one battle after another took home a lot of the major awards yesterday.

[DJ Envy]

One battle after another.

[Angela Yee]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Did y' all see that?

[Angela Yee]

I watched it over the weekend.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Not only did I see it, I hosted a screening for it with a whole cast cam. It's not better than Sinners. A really, really good movie to me.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. So last night, Sinners did win. So they won best original score. And then they also won cinematic and box office achievement. And we'll get to Ryan Coogler and his wife's speech after they won. But speaking to the snub conversation, people feel like Sinner should have won best screenplay, which was won by one battle after another, and that Ryan Coogler should have Won best director for motion picture. He lost to Paul Thomas Anderson, who did one battle after another. And that Michael B. Jordan should have won best male actor in limited series. Miles Canton was also up for something as well, too. So people felt like, you know, they did win some awards last night, but there was a conversation about should there have been more that they took home. Delroy Lindo nominated for anything, I believe. Let me double check that. And while I double check that, let's take a listen to Ryan Coogler and his wife give their thank you for the best cinematic achievement, which is basically them getting an award for actually bringing people back to the movie theater. Thank you to our cast, our crew, agents, and reps. We created a very special community and family making this film grinding every day while many of us were away from our own families at home. Thank you for pouring into this story. You are all masters at your craft at the most elite level. And it was an honor to share this space with you. And this all belongs to each of you as well.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just want to thank the audience for showing up. Amazing world. This movie was made by hundreds of people. We don't always, when we work in.

[Fetty Wap]

The film business, wear tuxedos and look glammed out. It's usually a grind. You know what I mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We wearing, like, performance fishing gear and we in.

[Fetty Wap]

We in the swamps.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And it was an honor on this movie to know that it was getting a theatrical release. We didn't know that they would show up. So we just want to say thank you that they did.

[Fetty Wap]

It meant the world to us.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Couldn't deny him that one original IP that made damn near $400 million at the box office.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Nikki Glazier in her opening monologue, talked about or joked about how sinners brought Warner Brothers back and brought people back to the for at least like, a month. But to answer your question, Del Rondo, no, he's on the snub list, people. They talk about how a lot of fans thought that he would be a likely candidate for, you know, some awards. And the awards buzz after the movie came out and did not happen as well. But yeah, I mean, it was a. It was a long night full of awards. They also gave out the first ever podcast awarder in that category. And Snoop Dogg presented that and he said he was high as hell. Let's take a look.

[Fetty Wap]

Listen, stop the music.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Need y' all to loosen up a little bit.

[DJ Envy]

This is the double GS.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The double GS is the Golden Globes.

[Fetty Wap]

And you with the D O double G. So make sure you enjoy yourself. Don't be no stiff, Biff. Move around a little bit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Best podcast is a very important category for me, because before podcast, I was.

[Fetty Wap]

What you all listen to, driving around in your cars.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To you podcasters.

[Fetty Wap]

Y' all better hope I don't get in that game. Actually, I'm in that game.

[DJ Envy]

The Represent podcast, it's popping right about now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Believe me when I tell you.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, so that's. It's sort of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He didn't say he was high.

[Fetty Wap]

He was.

[Angela Yee]

He does say it. It's toward the end of the speech, but we don't have it in the audio. But he does say he's, like, actually about to announce some of the names, and he pauses and he's like, I'm high. Y' all had me here for too long, like, joking. Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just want you to know, Snoop Dogg being high is not news, but.

[Angela Yee]

On the stage, it is news.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The best podcast category was Hollywood Rewarding Hollyw Hollywood, because there's no way that Amy Poe, a good hang. Was supposed to beat Mel Robbins.

[Angela Yee]

So that was a big thing, too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Come on. Come on. You have Smartless in that category. Dax Shepherd, Daddy, like, Amy Polar podcast hasn't been around a year yet. That was Hollywood Rewarding Hollywood.

[Angela Yee]

It was created in March. That was. Yeah, a lot of people were having that conversation last night. Like, okay, so. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And no black podcast in the category, but that's a whole other conversation. Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Well, shout out to the people who did take home the wins. And, you know, hell, yeah. The.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

The.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. Tiana Taylor and everybody else. But we'll be back next hour. And in the next hour.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, I do want to say, though, I like, you know, I. I understand all the snub conversations, but I realized a long time ago, if I haven't seen every movie and ever in. In. In the category, I have to shut the hell up.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, I've been saying that for the rest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How do I look? Saying something got snubbed, but I didn't.

[Angela Yee]

See with the whole bat, one battle after another versus Sinners. I was like, dang, I wish I watched it. I didn't see those two. I just saw that on streaming.

[DJ Envy]

So, yeah, like I said, how does somebody say, well, you got. You've been snubbed. If you haven't seen all the movies, if you haven't seen all the actors acting like, how do you. You're gonna say you like them?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Personal opinion. Sinners was better. Right? But one better. Another was. Was still cool. I didn't really like it. It was cool. What about Wicked, yo?

[Angela Yee]

Did Wicked win anything? But I just saw. I know that they got caught out in the monologue for being a film that's just here to make movies.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Remember last week when you thought I was playing and you asked me what's a good TV show to watch and I said the studio.

[Angela Yee]

The studio stuff as well.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The studio is hilarious.

[Angela Yee]

He definitely did tell me to watch that.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

So now I really got to watch. Watch it.

[Fetty Wap]

Cool.

[Angela Yee]

But now Wicked didn't.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Angela Yee]

That would be surprising.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, that is the latest with Laura.

[Angela Yee]

I can't answer that. Definitely.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Just when we come back, can we.

[DJ Envy]

Play some Tiana Taylor too?

[Angela Yee]

We should.

[DJ Envy]

All right, let's do that. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Front page news is next. Morning, everybody.

[Angela Yee]

It's DJ Envy.

[DJ Envy]

Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news now. Quickly in sports, NFL was great over the weekend, man. A lot of great games. The Eagles lost to the 49ers 23 19. The Bears beat the Packers 3127. The Rams beat the Panthers 34 31. The Bills beat the Jaguars 27 24. The Patriots beat the charges 16 3. And tonight in Monday Night Football, the Texans take on the Steelers at 8.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

15.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I really don't like the emotional hold that football has on me because I'm a Dallas Cowboy fan. So this time of year, I'm used to not watching our teams play, but there's no reason I should be watching other teams. And my cortisol levels are spiking because all of those games, except for the Patriots Chargers game, were settled in like the last two minutes.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, it was all great games.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like you didn't know who the winner was until like the last two.

[Angela Yee]

When the last time you felt like that about your team?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Every game. Because we be. That's. That's the story of our life. We just. It's never in the playoffs, though.

[Angela Yee]

No, I'm saying is it ever close with the Cowboys or are they ever about to be.

[DJ Envy]

They just go that far. They don't go to that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay. All the time.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Got you.

[DJ Envy]

But what's up, Mimi?

[Mimi Brown]

Good morning, NBA. Josh, Charlamagne. How y' all doing?

[Angela Yee]

Hey.

[Mimi Brown]

Hey. Good morning. So we start this hour with a move that could directly hit your wallet. President Trump is floating a temporary cap on credit card interest rates.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Rates.

[Mimi Brown]

So the president is calling for a 10% cap on credit card interest rates for one year starting next week, January 20th. Now, right now, most credit cards, they charge about 20% interest rate, meaning this could directly cut costs in half. Trump says the goal is to stop consumers from being overcharged after years of rising rates. This proposal, it is getting rare bipartisan support. On Capitol Hill, lawmakers on both sides, they have backed similar ideas, arguing that credit card companies can afford to charge less while Americans are drowning in debt. And those debt numbers, they are really big Americans now cup they now carry more than $1.2 trillion in credit card debt. That's the highest level ever recorded. The average household, they owe more. They owe about $10,000 in credit card debt. Consumer watchdogs, they say interest rates, they have risen faster than the actual cost of lending money. So it's still unclear, though, whether the White House will they try to enforce this through an executive action or if it's simply pressuring the credit card companies to lower interest rates on their own. The administration hasn't exactly laid out how this would work, but banks and credit card issuers, they are pushing back. They say that a 10% cap would lead to lenders stop issuing credit cards to millions of higher risk consumers. And some financial lenders, they argue that that would push push struggling consumers toward even more expensive options like payday loans or pawn shops. In recent days, the Trump administration, they've also taken steps aimed at lowering mortgage rates and publicly pressured the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates faster. He's also expected to name a Fed chair in the coming weeks. So what do you guys think about that? Lowering your interest rates on credit cards to about 10% to help the American people and give them some relief. And speaking, speaking of the Federal Reserve, the man who runs it is now under investigation. So the Federal Reserve, we were just talking about that they set the interest rates that affect everything from credit cards to mortgages to car loans. And now the fate the Chet, the Fed chair says he is being targeted. So Jerome Powell says he is the subject of a federal criminal investigation tied to a $2.5 billion renovation of the Fed's headquarters and his testimony to Congress about the that project. Now, Powell says the investigation isn't really about the building. It's about interest rates. And he argues that this fallout from the Fed refusing to cut interest rates as quickly or as deeply as President Trump demanded. So in plain terms, Powell is saying that the central bank, they are being targeted for not doing what the White House wants. Now, pal, he addressed all of this in a video release last night. Let's listen to what he had to say.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

This new threat is not about my testimony last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. It is not about Congress's oversight role. The Fed, through testimony and other public disclosures, made every effort to keep Congress informed about the renovation project. Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What will serve the public, rather than.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Following the preferences of the president. This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions, or whether instead, monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That was Jerome Powell.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah.

[Fetty Wap]

Wow.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, that was Jerome Powell. So the Fed is supposed to be an independent organization outside of any political organization. Right. So Jerome Powell, he has served the Fed on the Federal Reserve Reserve under four administrations, both Democrats and Republicans alike. This investigation, though, is being handled by the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, led by a Trump appointee. And this comes after months of public criticism from the president, who's repeatedly said that interest rates are too high and that he would like Powell to be removed. And that brings us to our second and closely related case involving the Federal Reserve. So, next week, on January 21, the Supreme Court, they will hear arguments in President Trump's attempt to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. This is the first time a president has ever tried to fire a sitting Fed official. Now, Trump, he has accused Cook of mortgage fraud, claiming that before joining the Fed, she made false statements on her mortgage applications. And she strongly denies those claims and say that they are also being used as a pretext to remove her. A federal judge has already ruled that those allegations likely do not meet legal standards required to fire a Fed governor. Now, under the Federal Reserve act, governors can only be removed for cause, meaning something more serious, and that the standard has never been tested in court.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Am I the. Am I the only person who feels like all this chaos is to silence all the noise surrounding the Epstein files? Like, just a couple weeks ago, the noise around the Epstein files was so loud.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, yeah. And now we've been hit with, you know, Venezuela and Greenland and, you know, Minnesota.

[Angela Yee]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's just credit card rate cap, Jerome Powell under investigation. And I feel like all of this is to distract from the Epstein file, Trump's health and Trump's economy being trash.

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, there's a lot of, you know, make you hurry up and forget, you know, what's really happening inside of Washington as well. You're absolutely right about that. And quick question this morning. Did any of you get an email asking if you should reset your Instagram password this weekend?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, I don't think I did. No.

[DJ Envy]

I used to get them a lot, though. Every once in a while, like once every couple of months, I would get one of those. I just ignore it.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Wow.

[Angela Yee]

What is going on, Mimi? What happened?

[Mimi Brown]

Yeah, well, I'm glad you asked, Jess, because millions of Instagram users say they received sudden password reset emails over the past few days. So Meta, which is Instagram's parent company, says there has been no data breach, but that users are saying that there has been a data breach. And cybersecurity experts say that there is. And a hacker. They are also saying that there is. Right. So a hacker is taking responsibility for accessing data tied to as many as 17 million Instagram accounts, claiming personal information was exposed. So that includes usernames, phone numbers, email address, and in some cases, physical addresses. A cybersecurity firm that tracks activity on the Dark Web says that data appears to come from an Instagram system exposure dating back to 2024. Now that data has surfaced online and it's being shared, which could explain the sudden wave of those password reset emails. A lot of people said that they received them over the weekend, but Meta says that there is no data breach and your accounts are still secure. And that kind of. But that kind of leaked information. It could be used for phishing scams. So the advice for security experts is simple. They said if you get one of those emails, do not click the link. Instead, go directly to the Instagram app, change your password there, and turn on that two factor authentic authentication notification. So that way it adds an extra layer of protection. So even if someone has your password, they cannot get in. You can also check from there what devices are logged into your account and remove anything that you don't recognize. So that was big news over the weekend because a lot of people said that their Instagram accounts were hacked into and they were receiving those notifications to reset their passwords.

[Fetty Wap]

Wow. All right.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, Mimi.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, now when we come back, Fetty Wap will be joining us. We actually did this interview on Friday. Less than, what, 48 hours since he was released from prison? So we're going to talk to Fetty Wap. If you haven't heard it. We're going to get it on next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lola Rose is here with, with us as well. We got a special guest in the building.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes indeed. Welcome home, ladies and gentlemen.

[DJ Envy]

It's Fetty. Wow. Welcome.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah, man, what's up?

[DJ Envy]

How you feeling, brother?

[Fetty Wap]

I feel good, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You ain't miss no push ups. Been eating your protein. You taking full advantage of that time, huh?

[Fetty Wap]

A couple chicken packs and tunas and all that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

See what I'm saying? What? How are you?

[Fetty Wap]

First of all, brother, I'm blessed, man. If I can sum it up, I'm just blessed, man. I feel good to be back, you know, sleep in my own bed, you know, eat some real food, see the family, I mean, get all that love and see everybody just, just happy to see me. Like I'm happy to see them. So it feels good. I'm definitely blessed for that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do you feel like you need to get right back to it or like, you know, do you want to just adjust and be human first before they, they. You got to get in the artist Fetty Wap mode.

[Fetty Wap]

Are we allowed to do that?

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yes, you are.

[Angela Yee]

You allowed to, but not like you would have to make that decision for yourself.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah, I mean, for me, I don't know, I just, you know, making music is just what I love to do. So I wouldn't say, I wouldn't say it's like getting right back to it. It's just like something that I missed for the last four years of my life, you know what I'm saying? Definitely being in that studio, letting that be my outlet, you know what I'm saying, for whatever I'm going through at the time. So if that's getting back to it, then yeah, yeah, definitely got to get right back to it.

[DJ Envy]

Have you gotten the studio yet?

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Are you back in there already?

[Fetty Wap]

Already working.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, you did a first day out record?

[Fetty Wap]

Nah, nah, I do a first day out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Okay, okay, okay.

[Angela Yee]

Except that for a longer project or something.

[Fetty Wap]

Nah, just, you know, just like, you know how you said like, you know, when a boxer ain't been in the ring for a while, you just gotta, I mean, gotta meet up real quick, see if you still got it, you know what I'm saying? Like that. So that's all just, just, just filling it back out.

[DJ Envy]

Most people want to know what happened, right? And the reason they want to know is you had numerous platinum, multi platinum Hits? Yeah, numerous records that went through the.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Charts, man, you had a run.

[DJ Envy]

And not just urban charge. You were mainstream. I mean, you were doing bar mitzvahs. What's the Spanish one? Quince, don't act like you don't know.

[Mimi Brown]

I'm not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What the Minnesota don't know.

[DJ Envy]

I am not Spanish.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I am black.

[DJ Envy]

See what he tried, you know what I mean? Can't see yet. You did everything, and then you went a different route. What happened? Like, what was the disconnect for Fetty? Was it label?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Was it.

[Fetty Wap]

I mean. Well, you know, certain things that I still, you know, I can't really talk about like. Like that. I mean, just for certain legal reasons, I guess, to sum it up, you know what I'm saying? As far as the music side, like, as far as the music side, I just kind of was going through something with certain parts of a different label, you know what I mean? I don't want to say no names because I'm not into bashing nobody. That's not what I do, you know what I'm saying? But certain things just wasn't lining up, so I just. I just did what I know how to do, you know what I mean? When certain things was happening. So now when you got.

[DJ Envy]

When you got locked up, did it make you love music more? Because I feel like at one time you didn't love music the same like you did when you first came out.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Did it make you love music again?

[Fetty Wap]

Being locked up did a few things for me as far as music. Yeah, of course. Know what it is, Honestly, not being able to record music was the. Was the. Was the biggest thing, because, you know, we. We could. You know, as an artist, you're gonna. You hear a little better. You do a little beat on the table, and you could just start the writing. You know, you get the writing stuff in your head or you hear melodies in your head, but that feeling when you just. I'm about to go to the studio, like, oh, nah, I ain't about to go nowhere right now. You know what I'm saying? So it made me miss. It made me miss being able to, you know, just get up and go when I want to go do music. Definitely humble you a lot, you know what I'm saying? Stuff like that. But, yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What did prison teach you about yourself that success never could.

[Fetty Wap]

What did prison teach me about myself?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That success never.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah. I mean, honestly. Well, in that case, not really too much. Not really too much. It just, like, made me. It just made me understand certain things in Life, you know what I'm saying? Like, it made me understand, like, the value of freedom, you know what I'm saying? I don't think a lot of people understand how blessed they are to just wake up and do whatever they want to do.

[DJ Envy]

Well, let's slow you down from. And I've seen interviews where you like, I go to store, be 20 of us. Everybody gets an average. Everybody gets a pair of jeans and then everybody gets a shot shirt. Are you. Will that stop you from doing that? Were Those same. Those 20 people still there when you were locked up or you realize, damn, they ain't there for me like that?

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah, no, yeah, that. Yeah, that'll definitely. The crazy thing is if they were there, it'd probably be the same mentality. No, no, no exaggeration, you know what I'm saying? If they were there, it'd be the same mentality. I'll probably be, you know, let's get it. Let's get it. Like we back on, you know what I'm saying? But, you know, when you behind that wall, man, everybody show you who they are, you know what I'm saying? You on their time now, you know what I'm saying? And you gotta just take it how you want, you know what I'm saying? You on their time. So they don't feel like doing it, it's. It's done. And if they don't do it, oh well, he ain't coming home no time soon.

[DJ Envy]

Was the industry there for you when.

[Fetty Wap]

You were locked up? Like who?

[DJ Envy]

Artists, label people, Family. Family included.

[Fetty Wap]

Family, yeah, my family was there.

[DJ Envy]

Industry.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not too much.

[DJ Envy]

Not too much?

[Fetty Wap]

Nah, man. Let me see. Oh, cool. Array, coil array. 50 Cent Chief Keith.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How though? And like, in what way? Like when you say they were there for you, like, what was it? Each of them, like, what did Corey do?

[Fetty Wap]

Well, of course, she actually, she actually helped me out with a record. I had put out an album called King Zoo, right? And she actually, she featured on the record. She did a whole tick tock thing for me. She, she. And she just did it off the love. Like it was like, all right, Freddie, I got you. Don't worry. Like, you know what I'm saying? And she, you know, she. She pushed that as if it was her own record. So like, things like that, I could never, like, I won't even. I don't even know how to thank her for that, you know what I'm saying? Because she didn't have to do that. She was already. She, already, she, she doing her thing, you Know what I'm saying? You know, and she from Jersey. So that, that was even more like, like, damn. Like they have like this theory with people from Jersey where we like to pull each other down. So for her to help lift me up in my time of darkness, it was like, like, thank you a lot, you know what I'm saying? I'll be out too, you know what I'm saying? I'll be out, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You said 50. What did 50 do?

[Fetty Wap]

So I don't even know where to start with him. 50 did a lot for me, you know what I'm saying? He, from the, from day one, it was like he reached out like, yo, whatever you need, just holla at me, you know what I'm saying? And I'm like, all right, all right, all right. And then it was like, where this money going, going? I'm like, what?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know what I'm saying? I ain't used to that. I'm used to.

[Fetty Wap]

It's always the other way around. Yeah. So it was just like, it was, it was, it was nothing like, hey, whatever I needed, he was right there. Like, he answered the phone. He, he, he didn't shy off, you know what I'm saying? All the way down to the, to the time I'm about to come home, he's, yo, how you getting home? And stuff like that, you know what I'm saying? So if anything, like, as far as, as far as financial and like mental, like help, he was probably there the biggest. So.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I know.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And you was talking about, you know, going broke. What did, what did going broke after to making multi millions of dollars teach?

[Fetty Wap]

You see that's crazy because, you know, that was like clickbait. You know, if you, if you actually rewatched the interview. I never said that I was, I was going broke. I just said it was slowing down, you know what I'm saying? It's a big difference.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All your money up, baby.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah, it was a big difference. Nah, I was just basically like saying I was, I was telling him how I felt the transition from being 2015, 2016, Fetty Wap. To being 2017, 2018, you know what I'm saying? So it's just like, I guess the way they broke it up and like put it together, it was like, damn, like. But I get it though, you know what I'm saying? Like, it is what it is.

[DJ Envy]

But you blame yourself for that at all?

[Fetty Wap]

What? That, that transition.

[DJ Envy]

The transition from 16 to 17.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah. Why? For the most part, man, I just, you know, I mean, I was young, man. I was real young, young. I was young, hot headed and, and you know what I'm saying, I was just pro to gods, man. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, if it ain't me and my, if it ain't me and my, ain't nothing, you know? I mean, straight like that, you know what I'm saying? And you know, I didn't show up to a few things.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But.

[Fetty Wap]

Nah, truthfully though, man, truthfully, man, I, I just, you know, I had to grow up, man, you know what I'm saying? Like, I was still, I was, I was young with all that money, man, like, like just having fun, making sure everybody eating, making sure everybody, you know what I'm saying? Like everybody's shining, like how I'm shining, you know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

They told me a story the other day, actually. They said you pull up to sneaker store in Patterson, right?

[Fetty Wap]

Sneaker Palace. You pull up there and you buy.

[DJ Envy]

50 pairs of sneakers. And it'd be like you'd have 10 cars, 10 of your cars outside and somebody driving a different car. And y' all would all get in and just drive to Atlantic City and gamble and go in the party all night. And nobody else paid for everything. They was like, fetty would pay for everything. They said they did this damn near every week. And then there'd be a time where, like, you didn't like to fly. Cause they were like. Then you would drive to Atlanta.

[Fetty Wap]

I'm scared as hella flying even now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, damn.

[Fetty Wap]

Oh, just trust me. The last time I was on the plane before I came home, I was shackled, ankles and wrists. And I didn't like that. Yeah, that's another thing, like I kept telling myself. I said, look, man, first class, they let me out right now. You can put me in 52F in the middle seat. Hey, y' all good? We anything. Anything, you know what I'm saying? Get a little bag of peanuts, some like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Nah, you too big now. You can't sit all the way back there.

[DJ Envy]

No.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, they didn't. They made the plane small in the back. Trying to make your money.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Your shoulder's too big for that at this point.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So what was the hardest truth you had to face while you were locked up?

[Fetty Wap]

I lived in my truth, man. Like, I didn't. I. I don't know. I just. You know what I'm saying? Like, where I come from. I'm from Patterson, bro. You know what I'm saying? From Patterson, New Jersey, man. Like, you know, I mean, you. You make your bed, you gotta lay in it. So it wasn't. When it happened, it was like, all right, whatever. Like, let's just get this over with, you know what I'm saying? Like, it wasn't like, damn, I wish I could have did this or did that, because I did it. I did it once, and that's what I chose to do. I knew the consequences. I knew it was gonna come with it. So that was that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Do you think you understand the lesson God might have been teaching you?

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know it for sure?

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah, for sure. You want to share it or take it? Take. Take advantage of your blessings while I'm giving them to you. You know, this time we gonna. I'm show you what could happen. You keep playing around, you know what I'm saying? Next time I might not be so lucky.

[DJ Envy]

Are you staying away from Patterson or.

[Fetty Wap]

You not you out of Patterson, or.

[DJ Envy]

You going back home?

[Fetty Wap]

Of course. Yeah. You don't have to. I feel like that theory is flawed. What you mean when they say, oh, if you go back home, this could happen? That could happen. It only happens if you're allowed. If you're a weak man. Weak gonna happen me to. To you. I'm saying when you stand on business, stand on business. You know what I mean? So I don't. I don't follow crowds. I lead them. I mean, I wasn't. I wasn't the Remy boys. I'm. I'm Fetty Wap. You know what I'm saying? Like, understand what I'm saying. No disrespect to my guys, but, yeah, I'm not the follower. I'm the leader.

[DJ Envy]

Have you spoke to the guys?

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah, I spoke to a few of them. I spoke to the ones who spoke to me when I've been there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Did you have to forgive yourself for anything in order to come home free? Just mentally.

[Fetty Wap]

Mentally, I really. I was. It's not more so me forgiving myself. I just. I just hope in the future that my kids forgive me. Yeah, that's more so. Like, you know, I take a lot of time from them. Four years, a long time. You. You see. You see your kids go from here to here, you know what I'm saying? And it's just like, I miss birthdays, I miss Christmas, I miss doctor's appointments, I miss Daddy school back, Daddy day at school, basketball games, dances, basketball games, football games, my son, first day of high school, stuff like that, you know what I'm saying? So, more so. I just hope they forgive me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Have they.

[DJ Envy]

Have you spoke to them?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. Like, your older kids, like, yeah, I.

[Fetty Wap]

Spoke to the older ones, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Do they forgive you?

[Fetty Wap]

I think they're just happy right now. They don't really understand yet. That's what I was going to ask.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

If they even understand.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah, I don't think they really understand, but, you know, they. For a while, we just try to play this, daddy's away, and then, you know, otherwise, like, come on after about.

[DJ Envy]

30 days, like, all right, now, man, we ain't stupid.

[Fetty Wap]

You know, the phones and, you know, they. They're on social media, so, you know, wait, daddy's with daddy in jail, you know, like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So how do you separate who you were from who the world still thinks you are?

[Fetty Wap]

I guess I just. Separated by the time, like, separated by time. Time. Time either is gonna fix everything or it's just gonna make it worse, you know? What I'm saying? So for me, I feel like this time away fixed a lot of things for me, you know what I'm saying? Especially with me and my family, me and my sister, like, we always had each other back, you know, that's my gym twin, you know what I'm saying? She June 6th, I'm June 7th, you know what I'm saying? My baby sister too, you know what I'm saying? My older brother, commissary every week, you know what I'm saying? Even if I ain't even need it. I really didn't even need it. But any phone call, I might just be going. I just might be going through something. I'm calling yo, says I'm. What you think? What you think they gonna. You think they still gonna rock with me when I get home, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know how you say if I leave the game, they're still gonna love me, you know what I'm saying? Like, and then just learning myself, man, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, that detoxing, that detoxing and, you know, getting your body together, especially working out, working out kind of like. Kind of got me together a lot too, you know, that discipline, like, being that, like, I don't feel like doing it, but still getting it done. Like, just watching, just learning from the old heads in there, you know what I'm saying? I was down with a few homies that's, you know, that's not coming home no time soon, you know what I'm saying? Really? Probably no time ever, depending on if they outlast the years, I mean, outlast the sentence. And, you know, I got a lot of wisdom from them, man, and they all like, you know, the way you carry yourself, little bro, like, you know what I'm saying? The way you carry yourself. I don't really let everybody lil bro me, but, you know, certain people that I respect, you know what I mean? I call them big bro bro. And they just. The way you carry yourself, the way you move. I'm saying, I see the way you move through here. You ain't. You ain't full of yourself. You don't think you the. You know what I'm saying? Like, when you get out there, man, like, like, do it for the gods, bro. We don't want to see you back in here, man. Like, you got a lot of to look out to. And then, you know a lot of people, hey, hey, hey, hey, guess what I'm in here with. You know what I'm saying, hey, oh, tell him to send me a picture. So, you know, I'm taking pictures for the guys. We send the autographs and like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That.

[Fetty Wap]

And yeah, man, my daughter, man, they. Man, I'm like, man, I ain't even know your daughter knew who I was, you know, Said they younger now. You know what I mean? So it was just like every. Every time I start to feel like I don't know if it's gonna be. It is. Hey, yo, man, if somebody's in it, I'm like, word. Or then like, I remember in 2025, like, the top of 2025, they was doing like the again thing with the JBL speak. So. And it was like, that my sister, hey, trending. I'm like, how the. What I do now? You know what I'm saying? Like, what I do? Like, I'm in trouble or some. Like. But it just like every time I started feeling down or feeling like, like, out of like. Like. Like it wasn't going to be nothing for me when I come home, something always reminded me, man, like. So like I said, either time gonna either fix it or make it worse. So. But this for me, time made everything better for me.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

At your peak, everything was moving fast, right? But then when you in prison, everything stops. How. How did that shift your sense of a purpose?

[Fetty Wap]

It was much needed. It was much needed, for sure. Definitely much needed. And a lot of people say I'm crazy for that, you know what I'm saying? But you got one day, you're downtown selling CDs, trying to make a name for yourself, and then you got another day you want to. You want. You on stage with Taylor Swift, you know what I'm saying? And then it's like you do so much. Everything was a blur, like. You know what I'm saying? Like, I was moving so fast, half the times I don't even have pictures of everything I did. I'm like, hey, send me pictures so you ain't got nothing, like, you know what I'm saying? So it was like, all right, let me see where I went wrong over here or what I did this. And you start to, you know, you just take mental notes, huh? Like you. You learn yourself, man. Like, you learn yourself. Like I said, you either gonna get better or you're gonna get worse. You know what I'm saying? You're gonna give up on yourself or you're gonna. Or go hard for yourself, you know what I'm saying? I'm saying. So for me, it just was like, I gotta go Harder, man. Like, I can't. This can't be it for me right here, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, ain't no way I'm about to just come home and just go get a job or some. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, I'm not going to target like, you know what I mean? Like, I gotta do what I love to do, you know what I'm saying? If I got a man up and take responsibility for this that I did to make, to get me in this position, I'm gonna do that, you know what I'm saying? And that's what I did.

[DJ Envy]

So now what's your mind frame with doing music now?

[Fetty Wap]

Is it.

[Angela Yee]

It.

[DJ Envy]

Because one time you went straight street, another time was crossover and party and music. So what's, what's Fetty's feeling now?

[Fetty Wap]

I don't have a. I don't have a, like a. A genre, man. Like whatever I feel, I just do it, you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't really have like a. I don't want to be in a box. Yeah. Like, I don't want to be like that, that. That guy, you know what I'm saying? If it sound good, if it feel good, I'm gonna do it. Like it just. It's all up to the people reception of it, of course, you know what I'm saying? But. But I don't try to just stay, you know what I mean? Because without what I feel like, personally, I feel like when, when you, when you become a certain kind of artist, you have to follow a certain kind of movement, you know what I'm saying? So if you're a gangster artist, you got to be a gangster all day. If you're a trap artist, you got to really trap about this, you know? I mean, you got to really know what you talking about. If you're a pop artist, you. You know what I'm saying? You can't be. You know what I mean? Like, you can't be. You can't. Certain things you do. Like. But with me it's like, you know, even when, when I'm like, when I'm in prison, a lot of people listen to the songs and they like, ain't no way this is the same dude that's singing these songs like, you know what I'm saying? Just by the way I carry myself. But then it's where I come from, you know what I'm saying? A lot of people misconcept the artist for the person so they, they Thinking like, oh, he. He's singing. And you know what I'm saying, he probably this way. And they, yo, what's good? What's poppin? Where the gods at?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What this.

[Fetty Wap]

This funny, you know what I'm saying? Like, so for me, I don't want to be in a box. I don't want to be. I just want to be a great artist, man. Trying to follow. Trying to follow these songs was damn near impossible. I'm stressing myself out trying to make another 679. Try to make another my way. Try to make another Trap Queen. It's like, this not gonna happen, bro. It's just. It is what it is, you know what I'm saying? And the way they built, like, the way that the songs are hyped up, like, I can't. It's like, you know, I mean, it's. A lot of people don't get a Trap Queen record. So trying to follow that is like, damn near impossible, you know what I'm saying? I'm not saying it is, but that's tough, man. Like, that feeling like this, I was going through at that time, you know what I mean? I wasn't going through that no more. A lot of that plays a role. And a lot of things I'll be saying like, you know, when you follow artists from the beginning and once they pop you kind of like, I don't know what the hell you talking about? You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't relate to that. And it was like the same thing happened with me, you know what I'm saying? It was just like, when we doing Trap Queen, this is real. Like, man, like, you know what I'm saying? We. We outside, you know what I mean? We looking through the little. We looking through. We looking through. So then you like that, Libby? I like that one. If I could get this one, I would get it in this color. You know, We. We like that. To. To. And then they went to which one of these you want? You know what I'm saying? We gonna take both of them, you know what I'm saying? Like, life changes. So life ex. Yeah. Experience changed. So music changed from the Fetty Wap album towards the butterfly effect, you know, I was going through a lot. A lot of personal things was happening. So with the. When the butterfly effect, it was more so me telling my story than trying to make a hit record. Gotcha.

[Angela Yee]

Coming back to music, Music, what do you focus on? Because people want the hit, but you got a lot of life to talk about at this point, it's been years.

[Fetty Wap]

I mean, honestly, I don't feel like that's important. Like. Like I did my time, you know what I'm saying? I did my time. It's a lot of rappers that went to jail. I mean, I hate to say it like that. They came home and you know what I'm saying? If they want, if they chose to talk about their jail, that's dumb, you know what I'm saying? Like me, I did my time with the guys in the. You know what I'm saying? And they all, bro, leadership behind you. You walk out, leave it here, you know what I'm saying? We trying to see you on tv, everybody wanted. But listen, I'm gonna tell y' all something. In jail, there's three things that you don't turn the TV from. Sports, news, love and hip hop. That's just the three things. In jail, you don't turn it to you from. Something might happen to you, you know what I'm saying? But you know, that's just, just. We want to see you on tv, bro. We trying to hear you on the radio. I know when, bro, like 20 days. I want to hear something new on the, on the computer, you know what I'm saying? Like, that's the type of motivation I was having. So I don't, I don't. To come home and to talk about that. It's pointless. I did my time in it, you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Know, possible though, like, cuz I'm wondering, like, will your writing change now that you've lived such a real life consequence instead of success?

[Fetty Wap]

I guess, I guess I wouldn't say it'll change. I guess it's always going to change, especially when you, when you're trying to be creative. But more so I. I just feel like I gotta. I appreciate music more. I appreciate. I appreciate life more. Like just checking out, going to 711 for a bottle of water, you know what I'm saying? Like, I appreciate everything. Just to even just sit here without know, I mean, saying, all right, visit over, you know what I'm saying? Like that. You know what I'm saying? For real. So I mean, you watching your people walk out the sign, you looking at that exit sign like, damn, I can't wait till it's my turn. You feel what I'm saying? So it's like I just appreciate everything, man. Like, I don't. I'm never gonna forget it, you know what I'm saying? I ain't gonna never forget it, but I'm not, I ain't I'm not trying to make that my focal point, like, you know what I'm saying? I don't want nobody to feel bad for me. I'm known for making. Thinking, we gonna have fun when these come on, everybody want to grab it. Damn. I remember what I was doing at this time. I'm trying to keep that. Yeah, I don't want that. Oh, he talking now. I live this for real, like. And if anybody that. That was locked up with me, they'll tell you, like, bro, sit on business, like, you know what I'm saying? I wasn't. Wasn't in there playing around. You feel me? So it was just like, I ain't. I'm chilling.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And I know it's only been 48 hours, but you know, what conversations with your kids have you had that. That just hit different.

[Fetty Wap]

My oldest song's funny as hell. My oldest son, he's funny as hell. Yeah, he's. Yo, I'm your height now. Like, chill, baby boy. You know what I'm saying? If I had to do it, you know what I'm saying? I mean, but he want, you know, he. That won't work out or the first day out. He took my chain. Oh. All my. My nephew. My nephews, too, right? Yeah. They took my chain and my hat. It took everything to get closed and all that. Yeah, they debo me. Word up. So my oldest daughter, she. You know, she's. She don't play no games, neither. She. Listen, Dad, I don't know what you're doing, but figure it out. I need to see you. You know what I'm saying? Wow. So it's just. It's just, man, I'm just happy, man. Like, I'm just happy to, you know, see their face when that FaceTime came through. And they. Who?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who it?

[Fetty Wap]

And, you know, you see that reaction, like, yeah, Daddy home.

We create the way. We don't ride the way. So we can still take it back through there anytime we want to. Y' all take it back everywhere. No, y' all play all types of songs.

Yeah, but that's not a classic. Well, it gotta be a classic.

[Angela Yee]

Let us rock. All right, now.

[DJ Envy]

Take us through there low.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Come on.

[Angela Yee]

So we. Are we gonna talk about Fetty Wap a little bit? Because over the weekend, TMZ ran into Masika. So we had talked to Fetty Wap when he was here, because Masika, who is formerly of Love and Hip Hop, but also shares a daughter with Fetty Wap, had tweeted some things about being disappointed by him, you know, talking about the first day and how upset she was about something that did not happen. I was told from a source that there was a scheduling conflict, which is what caused all of the tweets from her side. But she spoke to TMZ about Fetty Wap and his release, and she seemed a lot more positive. Let's take a listen. You know, I genuinely wish him peace and growth. You know, freedom is an opportunity, and I really hope he uses this chapter in his life to change the narrative, better things, and just do positive things. So I'm actually glad that he is home. Okay.

[Mimi Brown]

But, like, how do you really feel?

[Fetty Wap]

Because people are like.

[Angela Yee]

I mean, has he tried, like, reaching.

[Mimi Brown]

Out to you, your daughter, I mean.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

To see her, anything?

[Angela Yee]

When he was in prison, we all communicated almost every single day. You know, he talked to Kari all the time, and they had big plans. You know, I Try to keep things with her and, you know, both of my children kind of private for their, you know, well, being. My goal has always been protection and safety for my kids. So, you know, I'm not going to go into too many details of that, but, you know, anytime my child. My child is disappointed, I get upset. So, you know.

[Mimi Brown]

So is there any chance of you guys rekindling their romance between you?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I know the Internet wants.

[Angela Yee]

I mean, they're going to ask, you know, we had a good run. It was definitely a lot of highs, a lot of lows, but, you know, that chapter is closed.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why does she say, you know, how.

[Angela Yee]

Do you really feel?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How do you really feel? Like, why you want dirt?

[Fetty Wap]

That's crazy.

[Angela Yee]

I'm not sure. Maybe.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And she's in a relationship.

[Angela Yee]

Well, I think maybe because of the tweets, she thought that there was gonna be something else. But I was.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

When I watched a Breakfast Club interview and changed their mind.

[Angela Yee]

Probably so. Or they had a conversation, you know what I mean? Like, there was a lot happening within those first 40, 48 hours that he was home. Now, shout out to obviously pr, who is. Who helped set, coordinate that interview with Fetty Wap. They reached out to me over the weekend. Fetty Watt wanted to send another thank you to us for that interview. He says he's literally been trending all weekend. I saw the White House used his song over the weekend. I'm like, are y' all upset about this? But I remember I forgot he came home on that First Step act. So they're like, no, which one? What song was it? They used My Way? Yeah, I believe it was. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. They didn't use that one again.

[DJ Envy]

Trap queen.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, 679. And Trump's, like, getting out of a helicopter, whatever. And I'm like, what?

[DJ Envy]

They play. Trump's getting out of the helicopter. He walking while they playing the song.

[Angela Yee]

The song is just in the background. They always do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They always pick good hip hop records.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

But I just wanted to know if there was, like, anything, like, any comment. And she was like, no, you know, we don't have we saying out of that. But he came home in a First Step act, which, you know, helped him gain his freedom. So he. Yeah, exactly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We should applaud legislation that allows, you know, people to come home early from jail. First Step back is a. Is a good piece of legislation.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. And in other news, speaking of not coming home but avoiding jail time. Booy. So Booy went live over the weekend to just talk about the Fact that he won't be going to jail. So we've been waiting for Booy sentencing to happen, and it went down and he was ordered to three years of supervised release. Now this ruling makes it where he won't have to do any jail time. Even if he doesn't get that pardon from Donald Trump that he's been asking about, he won't have to do any jail time. But Boost, you know, was kind of celebrating telling us he's about to celebrate. Let's take a listen to Boosie.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm back. I give all praises to God, man. I mean, I knew it. The whole time I've been telling y'.

[Fetty Wap]

All, hey, I'm blessed to have my freedom on. It's time to turn up now. You know, I've been. Couldn't do a lot of because of this situation that I was going through, but I got three movies ready. I got probably seven albums ready, and I'm going to push the game, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I can do shows again.

[Fetty Wap]

2026, we lit, bro. 2026.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. The power of the power of the tongue and the power of a good intern attorney is very powerful. Cuz when Booy was hit boosted, we ain't. I'm not going to jail was positive the whole time. Not speak that at all. Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

Even when it didn't look good. Last week, they said that they were, what, advising four years. The judge was thinking two. And the fact that he got none. Salute the boy.

[Angela Yee]

100. And as we wrap, Rihanna has gave some love to Clarissa Shields. She says she period. Yeah, she says she's very Clarissa Shields about her man asap. Rocky. Now, this happened because there was a meme that was posted of ASAP and Rihanna and you know how they all touchy, touchy feely wherever they're at and in like a couple very much so very much in love every time you see them. But Clarissa Shields responded to this. Let's take a listen to Claire Larissa. Rihanna knows money. I'm crying. Like, word, yo. When I. When I seen that, like, I went to the gym today and just did gym. Ran this morning. Not really motivated to run this morning, but I went, I ran, I came back and then be like, it's like, wow, my phone start going crazy. And they're like, oh, my God, look what Rihanna said. And my heart dropped because I'm like, not Rihanna feeling how I feel about pep. How she feel about asap. What? I love Rihanna. Like, that was just so dope. It kind of makes me just.

[Fetty Wap]

All right, Charlene, please tell me, why.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Was I your donkey of the day? Well, donkey of the day for Monday, January 12th goes to the United States Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Now, I think by now we all are familiar with the tragic murder of Renee Nicole Goode, okay? A 37 year old mother of three who was shot and killed by an ICE agent named Jonathan Ross. Ross can be heard on his cell phone video calling Renee a effing okay. After shooting into her truck as she turns away from his direction. Now, what we have seen since this, since this incident has happened, you know, before there was even a formal investigation started, we saw Republican lawmakers, we saw the President Donald Trump, we saw The Vice President J.D. vance, we saw right wing media, media like Fox News, we saw, you know, Kristi Gnome all rush to demonize Renee Good and justify being her. Justify her being shot and killed by Jonathan Ross, okay? Literally they are trying to convince the American people that we didn't see what we all saw, okay? One of my favorite sayings is don't pee on my head and tell me that it's raining, okay? It's one of those sayings that makes so much sense but actually doesn't make any sense because don't pee on my head should be a complete sentence, alright? The fact that I would even have to say that anywhere at any time is troubling. Don't pee on my head. But if you do, don't tell me it's rain because I smell the asparagus. That is what this administration is currently doing to us, okay? Peeing on our heads and telling us it's raining. But yesterday Kristi Noem was on State of the Union and Jake Tapper asked her point blank, I'm wondering if you're not doing a disservice to the officer Jonathan Ross by reaching, reaching a conclusion before the investigation takes place. And Christy Gnome started dancing like she was doing a tick tock video. Let's listen.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Those are law enforcement officers being physically.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Attacked by this standard. Would any of those officers. Stop, stop, stop, stop. The other one, that was a.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Is that Agent Ross's voice calling Renee Good a bitch? I can't determine which one it is, but it could be. Sir, if you look at what the definition of domestic terrorism is, it completely fits the situation on the ground. This individual, as you saw in the video that we released just 48 hours after this incident, showed that this officer was hit by her vehicle. She weaponized it and he defended his life and those colleagues around him and the public. What evidence are you looking at that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So many other people around the country.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Look at and they say, it looked to me her tires were turned to the right, she was moving her car, and they see a woman trying to flee. Jake, I'm watching the. I'm watching the videos.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Other people.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Everything that we've stated as the Department of Homeland Security in this administration has been factored. And I wish we would talk factually about what we see every day from these protesters, what they do, what they say, how they chant over and over, kill ice, attack law enforcement, how they're trained to perpetuate violence against them and to stop the work that they do every day.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Talk factual about the protesters, but not factual about law enforcement. What evidence are you looking at, Christy? That was a valid question from Jake Tappa. I would have said, why are you peeing on my head and telling me it's rain? Did she not realize her own hypocrisy? Okay, the media didn't jump to conclusions about Renee Goode. We the people didn't jump to conclusions about Renee Goode. We responded to the video we saw, and then immediately, Kristi Noem people like yourself immediately politicized it and used it as an opportunity to demonize Renee Goode and liberal protesters everywhere. But Jake Tapper decided to point out the clear double standard between how law enforcement responds to Trump support supporters versus non Trump supporters by showing Kristi Noem video from the January 6th insurrection. Remember when those domestic terrorists that I not so affectionately call vanilla ISIS and Al Cracker, remember when they stormed the Capitol? Yeah. Jake Tapper showed Christy Noem footage of that and asked her about the double standard from law enforcement. Let's go back to State of the Union to listen, please.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Those are law enforcement officers being physically.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Attacked by this standard. Would any of those officers be justified in shooting and killing the people causing them physical harm?

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Every single situation is going to rely on the situation those officers are on. But they know that when people are putting hands on them, when they are using weapons against them, when they are physically harming them, that they have the authority to arrest those individuals. The president hardened every single one of those people and make sure that. That they're getting justice for their actions going forward.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

President Trump pardoned every single one of those people.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

And every single one of these investigations comes in the full context of the situation on the ground. And that's one thing that President Trump has been so focused on, is making sure that when we're out there, we don't pick and choose which situations are in which laws are enforced and which ones aren't. Every single one of them is being Enforced under the Trump administration.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers. Undisputed proof, undisputed evidence. And I just said President Trump pardoned all of them. And you said that President Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. It's just not true. There's a different standard for law enforcement officials being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters. We just saw them. Yes, it is. America, this isn't about politics to me because both sides absolutely politicize issues like this. All I care about in a situation like this is right, right and wrong. And if we as a people don't know what right and wrong is anymore, it's over. Okay? Not that America has ever been held to a high moral standard, but if there is a video that we all can see, Allah, Rodney King, George Floyd, Eric Garner, okay? Now, Renee Goode. If we all can see a video and see that injustice happened, why is it so hard to just admit, hey, that was wrong? Listen, ICE agents have a job to do. I get it. ICE has been around for 22 years, okay? United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, okay? Bush, Obama, Biden, Trump. ICE was around under all of them. There have always been massive ICE raids in this country. I don't know how they were doing their ICE raids before because we didn't have social media back then recording their every move, okay? And I don't have to agree with how they do their job to know they have a job to do. I want them to do their job lawfully and I don't want us impeding on them doing their job unlawfully, okay? I don't know if what Renee Good was doing was unlawful. It didn't look unlawful to me. But I don't know the law law. But I do know what I saw didn't warrant her being shot and killed the way she was. And if we can't agree on simple right and wrong scenarios, we are doomed as a society, okay? Right now, we can't determine what's wrong in this situation because of good old fashioned cognitive bias, okay? This is the time when folks are letting their politics pick sides and they shouldn't. At some point, we have to have some shared empathy, okay? Shared empathy helps us to bridge divides, all right? Politics just leads to more cognitive bias, all right? People tend to favor information confirming existing beliefs. That's confirmation bias. But there should be no confirmation bias in this situation because you got eyes, okay? You can clearly see what happened to Renee Good was wrong. And we should all be acknowledging it because we don't want it to happen again. All right? We want ICE agents to do their job lawfully, not unlawfully. And we want citizens to lawfully protest against ICE if they see injustice justice. Okay? And not unlawfully interfere in a situation and end up dead. But we can't get to that point if we collectively. Okay, if collectively, we can't say what happened to Renee Goode was wrong. And it's just another example of law enforcement being extra aggressive when they didn't have to be and using deadly force where deadly force wasn't needed. But instead, we the people are getting peed on and being told it's raining. Please give Christy Gnome the biggest he haw. That's ridiculous. Yes, it is.

[Fetty Wap]

It sounds dumb.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, thank you for that.

[Angela Yee]

Donkey today, but the asparagus is crazy because.

[DJ Envy]

What?

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Listen.

[Angela Yee]

Yes, And. And women be trying to tell me. It's some girls that be trying to say, oh, no, I don't never smell my pee when I eat asparagus, girl. Yes, you do.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Well, it affects everybody differently. So everybody? Yeah, everybody's Pete doesn't smell when they eat asparagus. I forgot why, but there's a scientific reason.

[Angela Yee]

We need to figure it out.

[DJ Envy]

And what does it mean over there?

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Right?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, but, like, what does it mean for the women who it do stink for? Because I know I can't even bite a piece of asparagus. Piss me smelling for hours.

[DJ Envy]

Jesus Christ. All right, well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Now, if you're just joining us, we're talking about, I would say, social media couple. That's where we know them from. Desmond Scott and his wife Christy. They have millions of followers on Tick Tock, Instagram X and all that. And a lot of people followed their lives. We followed us. They built their house. They had two kids. They met at 14. They got married in 2014, but recently she filed for divorce, allegedly. People are speculating that it has to do with infidelity. So you said something behind the scenes about you feel like what? Break it down.

[Angela Yee]

I just feel like when you get married at such a young age like that you don't really even know yourself yet, you know? Well, I don't know what age they got married, but they. They've been dating since 14 years old, you know, and you. When you spend that much time with one person, starting from so young, you really don't even know who you are yet, you're still trying to go through the motions and figure out who you are. Learning yourself, learns what works for you, what's inappropriate to you, which you really won't take. You know what I mean? And then when you get to your, I guess, 20s or whatever, how they are now, whatever age they are now, it's like I'm not the same person that I was. Although we got kids in this marriage. Like, damn. I. I kind of wanna. I mean, yeah, but you don't know.

[DJ Envy]

The only thing is, and. And I'm. I'm victim to this too, because I met my wife at 15 and 16. We started dating and I did have an infidelity. We actually wrote about it in the book. But the problem with that is, is my wife is my best friend. And because I wasn't grown yet, I wasn't mature enough, I was a young boy and I stepped out. Doesn't make it. I almost lost the best thing in my life.

[Angela Yee]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

I almost lost my best friend. I almost lost the person that is my confidant that rides for me, that I know is there for one particular reason. Because we ain't had ish together like we came up together. So I get what you're saying, but I just think that men have a lot of maturing to do before they say I do. You know, I mean, that's. Regardless of 20 years old or being 30 years old. I just think that we have. I can't even just say men. I think men and women are introducing cases. Just have a lot of growth to do before you say, I don't understand what I love, what love you means and I love you means. And most times we don't. We say it because we think it's cool, but we step out. And if you really love that person, you wouldn't step out. You wouldn't hurt that person.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. And you know, it, it, it all. It does depend, right? Because you know, if you find your soulmate early and you find you know your person early like that, that, you know that that one person may be enough. You know, it may be. But I don't think too many people find their person person at 14. But I also think folks forget you can be with a person that long and outgrow a relationship.

[Angela Yee]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

That's true too.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

There are a lot of cheeks in the sea. All right. But also to. What envy is saying is nothing another woman can offer you except vagina. If you've been with a woman for so long, because if you've been with a person since you were 14 and you know y' all have grown together and that's your best friend, that's your soul mate, that's Your. Yeah, that's your person. The person that knows you better than anybody. Ain't really nothing another woman can offer you except vagina. Unless y' all outgrow each other and y' all want to be with each other.

[Angela Yee]

Right, Right.

[DJ Envy]

You know, but let's go to the phone lines. A lot of people on the lines.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hello?

[DJ Envy]

Who's this?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hi, this is Jesse. Hey, good morning.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, Jesse, talk to us.

[Fetty Wap]

What's your thought?

[Angela Yee]

Well, they've been together for so long, and they known each other since they were 14.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I feel like at that age, you.

[Angela Yee]

Really don't know what you want or what to expect from life. I feel like they're both moving in a different direction at this time, and.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And if a separation is needed for.

[Angela Yee]

Them to figure out if they want to even stay married, I feel like that's, you know, valid.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, and that's part of it, too. You know, people grow away from each other. And like Charlamagne said, you know, relationships evolve. And sometimes you might not evolve in the way that your partner's evolving, you know?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

[Angela Yee]

And sometimes I feel like at 14, you have, like, this illusion of what.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

You want in a marriage, and you.

[Angela Yee]

Don'T really know what it is, only what you grew up seeing.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But as you get older, people, you.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Know, married men and married women, know.

[Angela Yee]

That everyone changes, and people evolve separately. Or sometimes they evolve together, and unfortunately for them, they're evolving separately.

[DJ Envy]

Thank you, Mama.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's it.

[Fetty Wap]

Hello.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who's this?

[Angela Yee]

Hi. Good morning. This is Jay from Detroit.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Jay.

[DJ Envy]

What up, dog?

[Angela Yee]

How y' all doing? Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Destiny calling me.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Peace.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How are you?

[Angela Yee]

So I wanted to piggyback off of what Jess said. I agree to a certain degree. I just.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I really feel like before getting to marriage, you should have an understanding of oneself and.

[Angela Yee]

And what I mean by that is.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Career, self growth, self love. You know, a lot of times people.

[Angela Yee]

Get into marriages way too fast, and then cheating or, you know, miscommunication become a thing, you know, Charlemagne.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Come on, now. We.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We old school. So it's like when you get into.

[Angela Yee]

A marriage, you understand it. Listen, if you're not willing to forgive.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Then you have no business getting married. That's true. It's gonna be a lot of forgiving going on. He gonna get on your nerves, and you gonna get on his.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

However, we can't hit the divorce button.

[Angela Yee]

Every time something happens.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, I agree.

[Angela Yee]

I would say that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Now I'm going say something. Y' all buried the lead. I'm looking at the chat right Now, I ain't know these people was just in their 20s. I didn't know that either. Y. I didn't know. Y. I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know if they twenties, might be in their thirties or something.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, somebody just said the Dude Brian is 25.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So that they 14. That's yesterday. What you mean?

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

They young?

[Angela Yee]

Yo, they still young.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I didn't know. 30. Okay.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that's what said.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All right, hold on now.

[DJ Envy]

37, sir. Yeah, I don't think they.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not 25. All right. See, I don't know what y' all talking about.

[Angela Yee]

They just got a big fan base. That's what I know. And them people are hurt that they are not together.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's the age? Let me look up these people for myself. I need to know the age, because if they, you know, in their 20s, they just started.

[Angela Yee]

Let's.

[DJ Envy]

Let's. Oh, 800-585-1051. Do you think. I guess. What. What is the question? Meeting somebody at 14, getting married, you feel like you should test the waters.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Before you get married?

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, I just. Yeah, yeah, I agree with a little bit of what everybody is saying, but, like, I just feel like when you get. Because, look, even my parents. My parents, they got married, like, early, like, around those ages, you know, where they met around those ages and got married, like, before they even hit 20. My dad went to the military. My mom started a business, and it's like they're not together anymore. And one of the things that I remember my dad saying to me is, like, yo, I ain't even really get a chance to live my life out. You know what I'm saying? Like. And although you get upset, you can get upset at that, you know? Cause he cheated on my mother. It's just still like, damn. Nah, you right. Like, you really didn't. Right out of high school, you got married. You know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

You started having kids.

[Angela Yee]

You've been doing this family life for a while. You didn't even know who you really was, you know what I'm saying? Kevin Moore back then is not the Kevin Moore that he grew in to be.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[DJ Envy]

So you feel like somebody should have a whole phase before you get married? Is that what you're saying?

[Angela Yee]

Not even whole phase, but just date. Like, they've been each other's person since. I mean, they've been together. It's only one real relationship. How would you know? Just date.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

We're. We're having the right conversation, but we're having the wrong conversation.

[Fetty Wap]

Okay.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

They met at 19 and 20. No, they met at 14.

[Angela Yee]

14.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, they met at 14, got married at 19 and 20.

[DJ Envy]

So they've been together about. About 15, 16 years.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And they were married for 11.

[Fetty Wap]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got to learn to forgive a little bit of cheating if you loved me. I'm only speaking. I'm only speaking from my personal experiences. You know what I'm saying, By the way? And vice versa.

[Fetty Wap]

But we don't.

[DJ Envy]

But we see that the thing is. And this is the bad thing about following somebody's life on social media.

[Angela Yee]

Right, Right.

[DJ Envy]

We don't know to the extent of what happened.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't. I'm only going off the surface of what I know. She said that, by the way, it might just be a threat. And because of social media, you know, you. I'm getting the ball. He cheated on me. But that file can be taken back. All I'm simply saying is, as the. Now I understand what. When the lady that called a little while ago was saying, you know, you got to learn to forgive. And by the way, that's not for everybody.

[DJ Envy]

But some people, that's their end or be all in the situation. Don't step out our marriage.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, I.

[DJ Envy]

Some people's endor be all. But we don't know the extent of what happened.

[Angela Yee]

I know, man, because I'm reading here, some people say, oh, she funny. She be doing cartwheels and designer hills, irking his nerves like they live around the corner. For me, that's not a reason. I mean, I know. I'm just saying, like, they just saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Infidelity isn't a deal breaker for everybody. But the best apology from a man is change behavior. And if he did step out now, he has to work to prove that he won't, you know, engage in that kind of behavior again.

[DJ Envy]

He might not want that either.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, well.

[Angela Yee]

Well, to be honest, somebody here said that. He said that he told her he wanted to separate before cheating.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn. That's.

[Fetty Wap]

Yep.

[Angela Yee]

That was from one of their loyal fans in the chat. I'm reading it.

[DJ Envy]

See?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Hello, who's this? Good morning.

[DJ Envy]

Good morning.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How is everybody?

[DJ Envy]

Good morning, brother.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I gotta agree with Jeff. I gotta disagree with Jeff because, like, it. It creates bigger problems down. Down the road.

[DJ Envy]

Road, you feel me?

[Angela Yee]

He sound like Kermit. I'm so sorry. I cannot stand you. You all right?

[Fetty Wap]

Heard that.

[DJ Envy]

I heard that my whole.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, okay, okay. I sound like you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You sound like you ain't got no Miss Piggy. You sound so holess.

[DJ Envy]

What I sound n N. Jesus Christ.

[Angela Yee]

Go ahead. Go ahead. You disagree with me, cuz. What? Say it again. Cuz. I couldn't understand.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's cuz. I feel like. Like, it creates bigger problems down around.

[DJ Envy]

I can't with you, Ker.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, let K talk. Sorry, K. Go ahead, K. Go ahead, K. If I find you. If I find out that you stepped.

[DJ Envy]

Out on a relationship, it's like, down.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

The road, when we get back together, it's like, I don't even want to.

[DJ Envy]

I don't want to part.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you and Miss Piggy never had those problems? Like, you ain't never want. You ain't never step out on Miss Piggy? Miss Piggy ain't never step out on you? That's not my type.

[DJ Envy]

All right, Kermy. Thank you, brother.

[Angela Yee]

Thank you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Kermit ain't got no piggies.

[Fetty Wap]

No.

[Angela Yee]

Imagine his voice during sex.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, that's crazy. Give it to me, baby. Baby, give it to me. Give it to me, baby. Oh, freak me, froggy.

[DJ Envy]

What's the moral of the story? If there is a moral?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Is there a moral? I mean, I. The moral of this. I mean, the moral of the story is communication is key. That's. That's what I would think. You know what I'm saying? Like, and. And, you know, there is no way to do a little bit of wrong. I think a lot of brothers in these situations, they'd be like, I've been with her for, you know, 11 years, so if I just step out, you know what I'm saying? Go do something real quick, come back home, she'll never know. Nah, there's no right way to do a little bit of wrong.

[DJ Envy]

Just so I know you're a damn fool if you step out on your marriage, man or woman, nowadays, like, the amount of things that I feel like, there's cameras everywhere, there's video. When I be seeing stuff now, I'd be like, you can't be that stupid.

[Angela Yee]

Always feel like it's a setup. Always feel like it's a setup. Just feel like that and then go back home.

[DJ Envy]

Damn it, man.

[Fetty Wap]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

All right. Well, like I said. Now let me.

[Fetty Wap]

Shut up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just like to see couples.

[Angela Yee]

But that's another thing that should be the moral of the story for us viewers and listeners and. And people who are fans of these people don't. We can't. Ish. Happens. So we can't, like. Like, be like. What is the word? Like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I see what you saying, but I can see.

[Angela Yee]

I don't. But what am I saying?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't Know the word you look for. But I see what you said. But I can look at it two ways, right? Infidelity. If you step out on me and I leave, I'm probably over it anyway. If I want to forgive you and I want to make things work, that means I still want to be right.

[Fetty Wap]

Right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, but.

[DJ Envy]

But sometimes it's the embarrassment, right?

[Fetty Wap]

It's.

[DJ Envy]

It's the public embarrassment. They are public couple. She got embarrassed on a public platform. Platform. She might not want to deal with it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, we wouldn't have known if she ain't bringing the ticket.

[DJ Envy]

I was going say, well, no, she filed for divorce. And, you know, it's.

[Angela Yee]

She didn't put it out there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But people. I'm saying don't. You don't have to file so quick.

[Fetty Wap]

Is what I'm saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm just. Listen, I'm just. As a. As a. As a former cheater, I just. I'm always going. I'm always going for forgiveness.

[Fetty Wap]

You know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

I'm always room with you.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm wrong. A couple trying to figure it out and work it out.

[Angela Yee]

That's what I'm saying. Don't praise these celebrity relationships or influence of relationships or whatever because ish happens like everybody and everybody don't make it. Every marriage don't last forever.

[DJ Envy]

So, yeah, call my wife child. Love her.

[Fetty Wap]

All right.

[Angela Yee]

And you have it on purpose.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, no, no, no. Guys, gals, gals, gals.

[Angela Yee]

Charlie, talk about my boss Spot. And I gave him a compliment. I gave you a spirit spray, first of all. All right? The spray be all over the pillow. I don't know how you do that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Anyway, Water.

[DJ Envy]

Let's get to the latest.

[Angela Yee]

I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. I'm the home girl that knows a little bit about everything and everything. Little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like you.

[Fetty Wap]

The latest with Lauren on the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Ll talk to me.

[Angela Yee]

As we start this last. The latest for the show today. I did want to take some time to send a rest in peace to T.K. carter.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, man.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. Legendary comedian and actor known for his roles. There's so many of them, but known for his roles. One of his big breaks was the thing he's also done Space Jam, Steve Harvey Show, Moesha, Different World, Runway Train, Domino, the Corner. The list goes on. But just sending the rest in peace to him. He was found dead in his home in California. Police do believe that there is no foul play involved, but there is no Official cause of death that has been released at this time. He was 69 years old. I saw Jamie Foxx post Rest in Power King. You were an inspiration to me and a lot of other comedians. Please Let us recognize T.K. carter, a cornerstone of comedy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Rest in peace.

[DJ Envy]

Rest in peace to them.

[Angela Yee]

Yes.

[DJ Envy]

69 years old. Rest in peace.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. Now as we switch gears a bit. So we'd covered this last week that Salt and Peppa, their lawsuit to reclaim certain rights to their music was dismissed by a judge. And we talked about it. Then it was kind of left open ended of what would happen next because they are able to go back and try and, you know, do some more things legally. And Salt of Salt and Pepper tells me that they do plan to appeal the dismissal of their lawsuit. She sent me a statement and she says, we respectfully disagree with the court's decision and fully intend to pursue our. Our rights to appeal. We, Cheryl James and Chandra Denton, also known as the hip hop icon Salt and Pebble, are the creative and driving force behind all our sound recordings and have performed these songs over the past 40 years. Remain committed to vindicating and reclaiming our rights as creators under the Copyright act. So there will be more there that we'll keep you guys updated with free.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Salt and Pepper, whatever. Basically get them their masters back.

[Angela Yee]

I had to ask Envy. I had to come here after I talked to her. I'm like, what did Charlamagne do or say to her at one point? Because she was like, make sure Charlamagne's being nice up there. We need public school support. I'm like, he's nice.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

People always say that about me. That's just a prerequisite that they say all the time, charlemagne, be nice.

[DJ Envy]

But I let her know, man, they. They deserve their master.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't understand why you holding on the Salt and Peppers bastards. After all these years, like, you, like, like at some point, you know, you have to have some just morality to.

[DJ Envy]

Say to yourself, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, we've made enough money off these people.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. Well, we'll keep you guys updated because there will be more. Hopefully it will work out that way. Now, in other news. So R. Kelly's daughter sat down with Reginae Carter, who was the daughter of Lil Wayne. So Reginae has this show, and I really think that this is such a good pocket for her to be in. She does amazing on her show. It's called Airtime, and she sits down with other celebrity children to talk through their experiences as celebrity kids.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Love it.

[DJ Envy]

Not just the kids, right? Because she sat down with Wayne.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah, her parents were on there as well too. But the premise of it is like, here's a look into the celebrity life, but also the kid of a celebrity. You know what I mean?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So there's a Bring Jojo Simmons on there yet?

[Angela Yee]

She has just started. Why you had to call him out.

[Fetty Wap]

New year?

[Angela Yee]

What he do to you? Let's take a listen to Reginae having a conversation about how his daughter, you know, feels about him today in the present. What do people don't know about your mom and dad that you want them to know? I love my father. Okay. It's a big misconception that there is hate or like animosity towards him. It's none of that. At the end of the day, I went through what I went through, my family went through what they went through, and I'm going to hold people accountable. However, that does not reflect how I feel about that man. I love my dad. I support him as the artist that he is. But as a human being, you have a responsibility to uphold and that's that. Now, my mother love her to death. I'm so proud of the person that she is. And yeah, when I. When it comes to how I view them and what I want people to know is just that we are a very genuine family unit and we wear our heart on our sleeves. The that we've been through is real. It's not fake. It's not scripted. It's not. So just take that into consideration when you talk about me and mine. Very tough position to be in.

[DJ Envy]

That gotta be difficult for her, right?

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

Oh, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

No matter what she does, she'll always be compared or associated to her pops.

[Angela Yee]

But also just internally, like, figuring out. Because you love your own battle, right? Yes. Right. Especially because, you know, her mom talks about things that she went through that she, like, she went through. But she also talked about, like, just how she deals with that love. And now she has a son. And her having a son has made her realize her parents are just people at the end of the day and how she keeps her R. Kelly in her son's life. Let's take a listen. What do you tell your son about his granddad? Really, right now? Just as many positive things as I can. He obviously knows he's not around. I do play his music for him. We have little conversations here and there, but, you know, he's only three and that's a lot to get into. Yeah, no, like, you know, I mean, like, I know that he's. He's not like, around Something like how do they have that relationship where yeah, it's more so I just kind of play his music. Okay, that's dope. That'd be what it is right now I'm like, that's your grandpa. Or like if we hear him out, I'll be like, that's your grandpa playing on the radio. It's like grandpa, I was racing what kind of R. Kelly song she playing for the three year old. But yeah, step in the name of the I wish I believe I can fly.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It's got a tough spot though cuz she's not responsible for anything that her, you know, father did. But then sadly it's like she probably has to pay for some of his sins.

[DJ Envy]

She's always connected, you know what I mean?

[Angela Yee]

And then dealing with her own mom being a survivor, you know what I mean? And like she spoke out publicly about that and her family having to deal with the world knowing, you know what I mean?

[DJ Envy]

Like did she say something different in the documentary? Cuz I seen people trying to compare what she said in the documentary to what she said on the show.

[Angela Yee]

Something about herself. Right.

[Fetty Wap]

Like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what I thought too but I didn't, I didn't know if it was a different daughter. So I don't know.

[Angela Yee]

I didn't know he got one daughter. Right. That's. I don't know how many daughters this is. Yes. With Drea. Yeah. So she's had, you know, other conversations about R. Kelly that in the doc but I mean maybe she.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Other conversations.

[Angela Yee]

She alleged that R. Kelly sexually abused her as a child in the documentary. But I mean at this point maybe.

[DJ Envy]

That'S what I was wondering. How do you still have that relationship?

[Angela Yee]

If that's a question for her and at this point it seems like she's choosing to still lead with love even though she's saying as a person he has to deal with the things that he's done to people. You know what I mean? Now as we.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

This is also why as parents, you know, you have to know that your kids are going to have to wear some of this BS that you do. So it should affect your decision making when you're a grown ass adult with kids because eventually they might have to wear the BS that you do. That you do did.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So you got to be responsible for your actions.

[Fetty Wap]

All right.

[Angela Yee]

Have mercy as we got a rap.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Angela Yee]

I just wanted to mention I saw that Jason Lee was cleared of those. This in other news Jason Lee was cleared of that accusation.

[DJ Envy]

He spent salute to Jason dropping A Cl.

[Angela Yee]

All the money for the wild. And I think it was like it was $50,000 that they were alleging that he had spent in the wrong way for to bring wilding out to Stockton. And he was clear to that.

[DJ Envy]

Absolutely of part.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Positively clear. The lie is usually as never loud as the truth. Unless you. Jason Lee. That's right. Okay. Jason Lee. Cuz Jason Lee, not only does he, you know, own Hollywood Unlock, he got relationships with a bunch of other platforms. Jason Lee is making sure that that truth is just as loud as that.

[DJ Envy]

Lie as it should.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

And he should.

[Fetty Wap]

As he should.

[Angela Yee]

Yeah. That's so damaging to your reputation and things of that nature. And happy birthday to Issa Ray the Great. Oh, yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Happy birthday.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And how stern.

[Angela Yee]

Oh, happy birthday. And he's 72.

Yep.

[Angela Yee]

[DJ Envy]

Now Salute. I just want to salute to all the nurses out there. I know we spoke about it earlier. The nurses are actually protesting right now. So they are protesting. They're trying to get their contract re signed. So they're out there. So if you're out and about and you see some note some nurses protest. Testing. Honk your horn. Show them love. Show them some support. I see one of them hit me in my Instagram and they wanted me to DJ out there to give him some kind of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, this morning?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, this morning. I just seen it now. But I would love to go out there and DJ for a little bit to give him some encouragement to say that we encourage all the nurses out there.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm definitely Salute to all the nurses, man. Nurses are important. To be honest with you, I don't even understand why we be arguing and debating about paying people like nurses more money. Like, that's. That's the. That's the thing about America that I just did. Just don't ever understand our essential workers, our public servants, the people that actually make the world go around, they should be getting paid top dollar. I agree. Teachers, the nurses, you know, police officers, the firefighters, the garbage men. Like, those are the people that should be getting paid top dollar. And that's even if you think about.

[DJ Envy]

The nurses and the doctors, they're helping people that are sick. So they possibly get sick all the time.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, all the time.

[DJ Envy]

But they still come to work each and every day. They deal with people whether. Whether they're crying, whether they have nasty attitudes, whether they have. Whether they don't, whether they're good people or not. Their job is to make sure people okay and they do a great job.

[Angela Yee]

They have to risk getting sick, going to protest outside in 30 degree weather because their pay is not what they value. That.

[Commercial/Ad Voice]

That's just wild.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's crazy.

[DJ Envy]

I do, man. It's a quote from Norton Juster. I love this quote. He says, never feel badly about making mistakes. You must never feel badly about making mistakes as long as you take the trouble to learn from them. For you often learn more by being wrong. For the right reasons than you do by being right for the wrong reasons. Have a great day. Breakfast Club Wake you up.
