Blige to start the weekend a little don't play with Be happy. Morning, everybody. Is DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Good morning, Morgan. Good morning, everybody, and happy Friday. We definitely could use a little bit of happiness, right? Charlemagne. I liked it. I liked it. Well, I got to start. Wait, before you do, I got to start off with some sports. Last night, Bronnie Madness. Bronnie James scored 17 points, five assists, three bounds. He actually led the Lakers in scoring last night, but they lost to the Bucks. But he did good. That's good. He did good. I just want to put out there. We talk about when he does bad, but we gotta talk about what he does good, too. I like that. Everybody does. They do. We don't. But this is the first good game. Yes. All right. Oh, my God. I mean, it was. He ain't lying. Let's get into the news. Okay. Front page. All right. Let's get into it. So President Trump, he wants to dismantle the Department of Education. So yesterday he signed an executive order aimed at dismantling the department and said everyone knows it's the right thing to do. After looking, looking at test scores of US Children, he believes the power should be returned to the states. Let's take a listen to President Trump's comments. After 45 years, the United States spends more money on education by far than any other country. Yet near the bottom of the list in terms of success. We're going to be returning education very simply back to the states where it belongs. And this is a very popular thing to do. But much more importantly, it's a common sense thing to do. I don't know, I don't know anything about this, but do the states have money to fund their own educational systems? I mean, I know some states do, like a California, but what about the, I don't know, our. Some of the rural areas. Yeah, some of the more rural areas. Right. You know, you're, you're raising a very good point. It's not going to be an equal type of situation if you return it back to the states. You, the, the, the education system does need federal funding, federal backing and federal support. Meanwhile, Press Secretary Caroline Levitt also spoke on the matter ahead of the president signing that executive order, saying declining test scores and reading, writing, math and low proficiency levels at every grade level across every state are the reason why the department should be eliminated. She went on to say that the teachers unions have not been standing up for America's students. Now, she's not wrong in the fact that, you know, the scores have been low. And in regards to that and also, you know, across the board, Covid impacted us all. Trump's executive order directs education secretary Linda McMahon to take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the department. Now, education secretary Linda McMahon will have to get congressional approval to officially abolish the department. And the Education Department was first established under President Carter in 1979. Now, what about the teachers? Now how do they feel about this? Now education advocates are speaking out of head of the president's executive order that shuts down the Department of Education. Frederick Ingham Ingram with the American Federation of Teachers says the president has given no indication of what this really means, adding that he is preying on America's most vulnerable children. Let's hear more of those comments from the American Federation of Teachers. Frederick Ingram we have heard no plan moving forward from President Trump nor his administration about what education should look like, what we're going to do, and the role that the Federal government plays. These are millions of children who rely on federal funds to have a safe school site and to have the resources that they need. Yeah. Ingram went on to say he will see the President in court because the organization believes what the president is doing is illegal. He says the group will sue if Congress approves the dismantling of the Department of Education, which, again, was created in 1979. The department sends billions of dollars a year to schools for its most vulnerable students to oversee 1.6 trillion in federal student loans. Yeah, I mean, the brother that was just speaking is absolutely right. You know, and then I'm just thinking about the whole situation. Like, on one hand, yes, if you are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on education, but the school's trash and kids aren't learning, that's a problem. But what's the actual solution? Like, I just don't see the solution being, hey, the states can handle it because some of these states aren't going to have to have the money to handle it. But I was going to say that, like, yeah, if the education is failure, right, and we putting all these millions and billions and trillions of dollars into the school education and it's not working, how is this money going to be allocated? Is. Is he still allocating the money to the money and saying the state handle it? No, that's what he's doing. Or is he just pulling it and saying, yell on your own. No, he said the state's got to handle it on their own so that the states would have to pay for it with their tax dollars. Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're not. I don't have an answer as to what type of federal support, if any, there will be in terms of education. So. And what that brother, like, what that brother just said, what's the other plan for the education system? Like, they haven't heard anything except for, hey, we're dismantling the Department of Education. The states can handle it. What does that mean? It has to be a solution. Absolutely. All right, guys, we'll talk immigration and deportation on the in the 7:00 hour. That's your front page news for six. All right, well, thank you so much, Morgan. Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Wake up, wake up. Wake your ass.

If you need to vent, you can hit us up. All right, we got the latest with Lauren coming up. Yeah, we do. So rapper Yellow Beezy, he was just arrested on capital murder charges for the death of Texas rapper Mo3. We gonna get into all the details. All right, we'll get to that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight face. She gets it from somebody that knows somebody. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on you. The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit everything. Well, it's the on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me. Alrighty, y'all. So currently rapper Yellow Beezy is in police custody. He was arrested on capital murder charges over the death of MO3. So damn to write, I thought this was fake when I saw this yesterday until I received the documents, the arresting and charging documents. So MO3 was killed on the interstate. He was shot. And during that time, people were trying to piece together what happened. So police are basically saying that Yellow Beezy, according to these court documents, is accused of intentionally and knowingly causing the death of Mo3 on November 11, back in 2020. Now, the charging documents say that Yellow Beezy allegedly employed a man named Kiwan white to murder MO3 on the Texas interstate by use of a firearm. Now, at this. At this time, that is pretty much all of the information that is out there. I reached out to management for Yellow Beezy to try, you know, figure out, like, what's happening, any additional information we could give it that is kind of like all we know to be fact because of the documents that are out there right now. And Yellow Beasy, he's a Dallas rapper. Yes. People that don't know. Yes. For anyone who doesn't know. But yeah, when I saw that, I'm like, woo. I don't know what's true and what's not true, but I really wish people learned better conflict resolution skills because if that story is true, I guarantee it's not worth it for either party because somebody's deceased and now somebody's going to prison. Yeah, you don't want you not be. It's hard to be the charge like that. Yeah, police have been doing it. Police have been been locking Everybody up with any type of case. It seems like the last 30 days, like, crazy as they should. That's absolutely. Yeah. I saw reports of when they talked about the. The guy. And again, this is nothing confirmed, but these are just reports. But I saw reports that there were phone conversations between. Allegedly phone conversation between Yellow Beezy and the person that they're saying that was hired or was the person that actually fired the gun that killed MO3. So ML3 was killed when? Last year? 2020. Yeah, it was a big case or it was a big thing when it happened. I mean, it's someone dying, but also the way that it happened, like, they, like, walked him down on the interstate. He was like. I think at one point they were, like, following him. They were chasing the highway. And then they caught up with him on the interstate and shot up the car. So, yeah. Rest in peace to that, brother man. Yes. Now, other news. We've been talking a lot about Kanye west and his actions in here. Well, NVU asked, where are his friends and where are the consequences? Well, yeah, there are reports right now on Page 6 is reporting exclusively that Jay Z and Beyonce are discussing taking legal action against Kanye west following that vulgar and offensive attack on their kids. Now, according to the source that Page Six has, Jay Z and Beyonce found it shocking that Kanye west attacked their two youngest children. And, you know, they call the attack disgusting, as a lot of other outlets have, and this is the attack that Kanye did on X a few days ago. Now, the source exclusively told Page Six that the couple, Jay Z and Beyonce, will absolutely not stand for it after Kanye west has spoken about their children in a vulgar and offensive manner. Jay Z and Beyonce are aware of the post on X that have been since deleted by Kanye West. And now they're discussing how they want to handle the situation, whether that be privately or in a legal matter, according to this insider. So. And he didn't take him down because he wanted that. He felt he was bad about it. He said he took it down because he didn't want X to take his account that. But there I did see. I don't remember his tweet verbatim, but there was other tweets that he posted after that where he was like, I'm sorry, I just wanted Jay Z to be there. Or he is Kanye west, where I just wanted Jay Z to be there for me. He said he always felt like that, like the outcast of the family. And Jay Z didn't show up to his wedding, didn't help him with the Kardashian drama again. And I'm paraphrasing there, because that tweet was long. And when you play with people, kids, you don't come back from that. You can't come back from that, Justin. So that was why he did it. He wanted this. So this is a cry for help from his family. I don't talk about my kid. Yeah, I guess. Yeah. Lawsuits are cool, but what Kanye really needs is his ass beat, ass whipping. That's all not encouraging violence. But at some point, I gotta see if you got hands walking around in denim jeans and no drawers talking crazy on x and you 47. Yeah. Denim jeans on with no drawers. Oh, you talking about that video when he getting in the car? Because they was calling him thick. Thick. Oh, he must have seen the top of his crack or something. Yes. That was nasty. Yeah, nasty. Nasty. No, but that was. That was a good leather wax denim, though. I was trying to figure out what the brand of them jeans was. Oh, my goodness. I'm gonna show you the video. J. That's the video you're talking about, right? I just saw something. He was getting in the car, and he jumped in the car, and he had on the denim jeans, and it was all his ass out. I'm like, who walks around in denim je with no drugs? That's crazy. That's crazy. That got to hurt. That got to hurt. I think it. They might have just slipped down when he was trying to, like, get up in the car. It was like a truck he was getting into that. You shouldn't be committed into a conservatorship if you walking around in denim jeans and no drugs. Yeah. Yeah. Kanye definitely need a conservatorship. Well, last story, man, this. This hour has been pretty heavy on the cop stuff and just things like that. Five year foreign is being reported exclusively by TMZ that he's been locked up since January. His attorney actually spoke out and says that the case that they have against Fabio is weak, though. So according to tmz, Fabio has been quietly awaiting. Quietly wilting. I'm sorry. Wilting away in a New Jersey jail since January on multiple charges, and his attorney is firing back against those charges. So his attorney's name is Adam Lustberg, and he is saying that the Brooklyn Drill rapper. It's. It's expected to be released in a couple months. Now. They obtained documents, and in the documents, Fabio was accused of pointing up. Is this a good time?

You know, I just want to make sure that it's a group. That's right up here. I know it seems flimsy is spelled, but that. Yeah, I've never seen. I've never seen it actually in writing. But yeah, he said it's one of the flimsiest cases he's seen in his 21 years of practicing law. What was that live. Remember when. When Fabio and Lil TJ did that live. That seemed like that was recent though, wasn't it? Like, I don't remember that one, but I was confused because I remember he did the. There, there was an interview that released with him and Justin Leboy, and I thought that that was recent as well too, but I. I gotta check the date on that. But also, he could have filmed it and then released it after as well. But the attorney said speaking on it, so the dates can't be too off. All right, well, that's the latest with Lauren. Thank you, Lauren. Thank you. All right, when we come back, we got front page news. And then Jonathan Majors will be here, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. It's a Friday, damn it. Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news again. I want to start off with some quick sports last night. Bronnie, he did pretty good last night. He dropped 17 points. He had five assists and three rebounds. He led the Lakers in scoring. They lost to the Milwaukee Bucks 118, 89. But he. We also can't do that to Bronny, though. Salute to Bronny. We GLAD he dropped 17 points. But 17 points is regular. That is not regular in the NBA. Everybody don't drop no damn 17 points. Is that more than he's ever done? Yes, that is his career high. But we wouldn't be highlighting that if it wasn't high. That's his career high. Yes. Oh, we wouldn't be highlighting that if it wasn't Bronny James. Somebody else scored 17 points in the NBA last night. You don't give a damn. Nah. But the fact is. But he led the Lakers. We're Ro. Because he's LeBron's son. But not only thing, they. They tore this man down. Said he was trash and he shouldn't be in the league. But the fact that he's scoring 17 points is showing that he's. That was a good. That was a good game. He had a good game. That's all I want to say. Salute to that brother having a good game. Okay. What's up, Morgan? What's up? And the Charlemagne just Lauren. Hey, ho crew. And the listeners, too. Let's get into it. So yesterday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, he held an immigration roundtable with border czar Tom Homan, who says in four months there has been a 96 decline in border Crossings. Now, Holman also said the Trump administration is not going to stop removing Venezuelan gang members despite interference from federal judges. Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf also says federal judges will not stop Trump's efforts to remove gang members. So let's take a listen to the comments from border czar Tom Homan and Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf. I'm happy, but I'm not satisfied. Right? We're not going to rest. I'm not going to sleep well at night until every public safety threat, illegal aliens eradicated from this country. That's what we'll relax and that's when we'll take action. And so this idea that you're going to have a judge or even, you know, the left of the country is now siding, first they sided with illegal aliens, and now they're siding with terrorists instead of with the American people. So Florida Governor Ron DeSantis again says everything that President Trump is doing by executive order to fight illegal immigration should be codified by Congress. Now, just like I said, I called this, this is what the whole deportation, immigration thing is about. It's not about, you know, these, the illegals that are, are being the illegal criminals, per se. It's the ones that, hey, that get caught up in the mix that didn't do anything wrong. So. One of the migrants supported to with the Venezuelan gang members had no criminal record. Franco Caraballo was unexpectedly detained during a routine check with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He was then deported to El Salvador, accused of being a part of a Venezue gang. And his lawyer says Carvalho is a barber who has no criminal record in the US Or Venezuela and has not been charged illegally with entering the country. He added that his client was not given due process. So that's what this is all about, you know, got to keep in mind. So does he have his papers? Did he have his papers? Like, is he a legal citizen? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So he's gonna probably get his due process now that he has lawyered up. But that's the whole, you know, who walks around with papers, you know, or a lot of people walk around with papers. Now you need to, but I'll tell you, matter of fact, you need to have them taped to your forehead. But that is racist. If you just round him up just because of his, his, his ethnicity. And then I'm also hearing that there are people who are being targeted because of tattoos. You know, if you have gang affiliated tattoos or, you know, if you just have tattoos that seem gang affiliated, a lot of this is a matter of. But the bottom line is, you know, due process needs to be had, Right? So moving on to things in New York, New York City Mayor Eric Adams is highlighting progress on a homeless and mentally ill outreach program during his mental health week. Adams says since the start of his subway safety plan three years ago, the administration has connected 8,400 New Yorkers to shelter and more than 800 have been placed in permanent affordable housing. He went on to say, since last August, the past program was able to deliver shelter, meals and medical help for 3, 3000 times the to the homeless and 900 of them were removed from the transit system for different violations. Let's take a listen to New York City Mayor Eric Adams comments on this. Our administration has taken bold actions and bold steps to make sure we approach individuals, give them the care and support that they deserve. Whichever way you look at this program path it has delivered for New Yorkers. And what is more, this program is working. Since launching in August of last year, the city's Partnership Assistant for Transit Homeless program has resulted in the NYPD removing more than 900 people from the transit system for various violations. So you guys are up there. Any thoughts on that? You seeing anything cleaned up? You hearing anything? No, I haven't seen nothing cleaned up. My daughter's dance in the last couple of weekends, we had to go to New York City. And it's bad. Like when I say bad, I mean it is bad homelessness. I mean, people that, that they look like they drugged and zooted out. It's very, very bad. To the point where I'm like, where are all these shelters? Where are all these mental houses that we had before that would house them and help these people? I just don't see it. And I'm sure New York will see the same thing. And I, like I said, I agree. It's, it's bad. And I don't understand when elected officials like Mayor Adams say things like that as if we don't have eyes. Yeah. What? No to your point. That's why I ask. You know, I always like to see the parallel of what the people see versus what the elected official is saying, you know, and if we can end on a such a positive good note on this feel. Good Friday in Georgia, a high school senior in Douglas county is preparing to choose where he wants to go to college after being accepted to 58 colleges and universities.

He stars in a new flick magazine, Dreams, and we're going to talk to him next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren Laros is with us as well. We got a special guest in the building, man, one of the most gifted actors of our generation, probably the most gifted. Mr. Jonathan Majors is here. How are you, brother? Good morning. Oh, family. I'm doing good. I'm doing. I'm doing a lot better now. Yeah. Yeah. Good to see you. Hey, man. Thank you. And you just officially tied the knot. Yeah. How does it feel that you, you know, you finally locked down your Coretta? Bring it up. It's beautiful. Yeah. You know, it's the ending of a chapter and the beginning of a chapter. And I'm at a place where we got married on the 18th. That was a couple days ago. Yes, a couple sleeps ago. And it happened when it happened because I felt worthy of her, you know. Hold on, black man. You gotta hold that. I felt worthy of her. Expound on that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It. She is an incredible, incredible woman. And I had to get to that level, you know, spiritually, socially, emotionally. I had to mature a lot. And she caught me at a time when I was in a. I was in a bad way, you know, and I was very upfront about that with her. And she said, all right, got on a plane and came to New York City and sat with me on the. On the couch and held me when, you know, when it was all going down at the heaviest place. And the more I got to look at her, I was like, damn, I love this woman. You know, and then when marriage became a thing, when it was like, I'm gonna marry her, I said, wait, but marriages, that ain't no joke. You know what I mean? And I had to really evaluate myself even deeper, you know, if I was to wed this particular woman. And she just helped me grow so much, and I wasn't. I needed to be worthy of her and be worthy of her patience and her time and that she wasn't wasting her time on me, you know, So I had. I couldn't waste my time on me. And so I had to get myself right. And then we did it. Yeah. Yeah. And the journey continues, you know, like. Like the marriage is happiest day of my life. Yo, he is, like, smart like that. Yeah, I see the glow. What type of work did you put in? Oh, to be. To be the man that, you know, she. She was worthy of. Had to get my mind right. I just had a lot of that was just piled up that I. I never really dealt with, you know, and those things hindered me socially, emotionally, spiritually. Even the relationship with my God, you know, was. Was not where it needed to be, you know, and she being such a strong woman of God, that became clear that I need to work on that. And so, I mean, y'all seen the movie and. And. And y'all. Y'all know me, you know, so. So I look at something like that, and it's like, all right, Jay, what you gonna do? I'm an actor. I appreciate the word you said, man. I trained for 11 years non stop for acting summers, whatever. I'm an athlete. I lifted, I ran, I did that. And every time I did that, I had a team of people around me to make me worthy of those jobs in that occupation. And I didn't do that for me, you know, I didn't do that for myself. And so the process of becoming worthy, you know, for her, I thought, we'll apply the same thing. I had eight different acting coaches, eight different. You know, I went to two different schools, did this. Do the same thing for yourself, brother. So I did the court, helped me out with one of them. And I actually love those guys, you know, I mean, I love that situation. I've already spoken to my. My therapist, you know, I'm gonna stick with it, you know, and. And do the. The peer counseling, you know, when all this is, you know, I got. Oh, man, I'm on my last one. Oh, your last session or you're like, last one? I think. Yeah, we're getting. Oh, we're getting Close to the end. But, yeah, I'm gonna stick with it because I'm seeing other people come in, and that's beautiful, you know, so I'm stick with that. My pastor, you know, Darius Daniels at Change Church. Incredible, incredible man. You know, mentor, friend, life coach, you know, my other personal therapist. The men's group I started, you know, the business I started, you know, all these people that can just go, aj. They go from pulling my coattail to being like, oh, that's different. You know me, you know, and so just keeping those folks around me to help keep me upright and mirror back to me what it is I'm doing, you know? And I. I feel I'm smiling because I'm in such a great place. You know what I mean? I mean, I've never been so happy. It's hard to say, but I don't think I've. I think I've. I had facsimiles of happiness growing up, but. But never happy, you know, Moments. Brief moments in there. Yeah. You know what I mean? Saying, oh, you got a job. Wicked. Oh, you're doing this. Wicked. Oh, you're doing that. Wicked. You know, but there's a part of me, all that. All that hurt, all that trauma, all those things I needed to work out, you know, that wouldn't allow that. Now we're getting those out of the system, and a lot of them have been identified. If you can't see it, you can't change it. Some was thrown in my face, and some I went and found, you know, because I felt confident and I felt supported to do that, that. That's the process. Happy for you, brother. Thank you, brother. Did you ever feel like, through any of that, like, you were scared or nervous that, like, Megan would be like, yo, this is too much for me all the time. Yeah. What was that like for you? Yeah, all the time. Well, as I said, sis, like, I told her from the jump, like, this is gonna be crazy. It's gonna be wild. You know what I mean? But when y'all in it and it's like, the press. Yeah. But when we're in it, like, I'm sorry, I was gonna say, because she. She's also a name, and so I think that there was a lot thrown on her as well, because people were like, megan, good. Why are you doing this? What are you doing? Yeah, yeah, I had a lot of that, you know, I had a lot of. Sure. I had a lot of. I mean, we're in a relationship now. We're in a marriage, you know, I'LL keep it straight. We have moments of like, hey, babe, it's cool, you know, I mean, I love you more than I can imagine, but you gotta. Ship's going down, you know, you better. I'm Jack, you know, I mean, you let go of me and you go get it, you know, that was a big thing. And she took so many. She took so many hits, you know, because of it, you know, she took. I don't think she mind me saying, like, they weren't announcing it, but, like, she lost endorsements. You know, we got uninvited to stuff. You know, she got uninvited to stuff because she had shown just how down she was. And they knew, if Megan's coming, Jay's coming, you know, I'm coming, you know. Yeah, she took an incredible hit, you know, and then just walking around, you know, I mean, like, a lot of our. A lot of our work, as you guys know, is, like, socializing. You know what I mean? And, you know, I've seen people say, you are at a career crossroads with this film. Magazine Dreams, by the way. Phenomenal for not. When I say a phenomenal film, I give magazine dreams a 10 out of 10. Wow. I wish they would have stuck the landing just a little bit different. And it's like, you know, when you watch it again, this is like, little technical stuff. I'd be like, I wish they would have explored that a lot more. Right? But, brother, the job you did in that movie, my God, how hard was it to get the character of Killian Maddox out of you? Tell us a little bit about the character first and then tell us how hard it was to get him out of you. Yes, sir. So Killian Maddox is a aspiring bodybuilder. He moves through the world a bit. As far as his mental state, he's a bit different, right? He's a bit different. And as that's an understatement. Yeah, he's a unique character, I would say. We've not seen a character especially, you know, we'll keep it straight here, right? We never. We have not seen a black actor, male or female. And if we have, you know, someone holl at me and let me know, Jay, you misspoke. Blah, blah, blah, you know, now. And I'll take it back. I'm gonna ask you. I'm gonna ask you, who's comparable, but go ahead. But to my understanding, I mean, I've not seen our demographic, someone who was from the African diaspora, participate in a film that had a protagonist that got to live in that Odd. Unique, beautifully unique space. You know, as. As the film goes, you. You find out, you know, some of the reasons of that. He's dealt with incredible childhood trauma, but his dream is to get his pro card. The pro card is like making into the league for a bodybuilder. And he's working hard to do that. And as he's trying to do that, he's dealing with the trials and tribulations of his uniqueness and also of his blackness, of his size, of his gender. You know, all these things come into play. And so he's as he's aspiring and working towards that. He has to deal with a lot of. A lot of stuff. And ultimately he's trying to connect. And the last little bit is he's infatuated with essentially the top of the top, you know, this guy named Vanderhorn who is the, you know, top bodybuilder. That's his aspiration. And the thing about that, which is interesting, is that he is a, you know, six, five herculean white God. And that's something that he has to wrestle with, you know, this idea of the American dream and celebrity and fame and all these things. And, you know, there's a lot, there's a lot of movie there. You know, I think that's the best I can kind of put it out there. But. But he's trying and he's, he's striving and he's trying, you know, to do better and he's trying to use the tools, but he can't really get there, you know. But ultimately. Well, you guys will see. All right, we got more with Jonathan Majors when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren laros is here as well. We're still kicking it with Jonathan Majors. We're still kicking it with Jonathan Majors. Just hilarious. Were there ever any days on set where you felt like meltdown or breakdown, like, was this ever? Was it ever hard for you to film? Triggered, triggered. Did you feel triggered, triggered, triggered once? Triggered once? There's a scene. Yeah. And, ah, there's moments like you say, oh, they're inspired, right? There's a moment where something has just happened to the character. Something's just happened to Killian and Elijah Bynum in all his wisdom. And that's a talented, talented brother, man. We had just finished the scene and I was still. I was still up. Yeah, I mean, that's what I call. I was still up, you know, Keeling was still operating. And he's always operating when I'm at work, you know, he was still operating, still operating to the. To the point that he came in and said, hey, we. Can you walk out the trailer? So that should let you guys know what. You guys know what basine is. Walk out the trailer and then just process all of that as you're walking out. And this is something that, when it's not in the script, right, there's no language, so I can't essentially use a target to keep my engine going, right? So I'm living in my imagination for whatever reason. And. And now, you know, two and a half years later, I understand the reason, right? But I got up, I walked out the trailer, and Adam, our beautiful dp, was right in front of me. He said, just walk out and let that happen. Right? And I didn't know anything was going to happen. You know, the water was still hot. I was walking out, out. And I. I just felt it's. It's kind of like heat for me when I'm working, right? Like, it's got all this heat come up. My. My feet got hot and then my face got hot and I went, oh, I'm glad you asked. Because that was the moment when I realized as I was walking out, or maybe I'm just realizing now, that wasn't Killian crying, that was me crying. Oh, you know what I mean? Based off the. Yeah. Based off I'm trying not to give away movement. Based off the revelation you gave this week. Yeah. Being abused. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Got you, got you, got you, got you, got you, got you. And. Wow. Yeah. I guess in a way, that was the. That was the beginning of, like, okay, cool. I got hypnotized. And then that opened up all types of shit. I was going to ask you because I read that article that you did with where you talked about being abused. Now that you're revealing, or. Well, you're revealing it to the world, but you're dealing with, because of the therapy and different things that you're doing, all of this internal stuff, like, are you right now having to go through a different process of, like, figuring out who you are again and how does that affect you as an actor? I don't know. Like, do you feel like you're, like, kind of reinventing who Jonathan Majors is because of things or Rebirth? Rebirth, Yeah. I mean, only tattoo I have, which my pastor mother was like, you grown, you grown. Do what you want. And, you know. But yes, it's definitely There's a moment now where I go. I was. I was saying. Saying the wifey, you know, like. Like, I just feel different, you know, and this was last. This was probably, you know, two weeks. Time goes, oh, time be moving. This probably just two weeks ago, I was sitting there when I was like, I feel different. Like, I just feel different, you know, and there is, like, I'm gonna do a couple pictures this year, God willing. But I am nervous, you know, I am nervous. Nervous that. What, you don't have it the same anymore or I don't know what's gonna happen because you're dealing with the. Talking with the audience. I told you the other day, your gift is gonna make room for you because you just too, too. You too gifted to deny. Thank you, brother. Yeah. What is the fear? The fear is. Well, what. Yeah, yeah, let's keep it a buck. Like. Yeah, I fear that. Like, is it. I've made so much more space, you know, I mean, and it's like, oh, is he gonna hit the same. Like, I know the craft. I know that, you know, I don't know the craft, but I. I study the craft. That's what I was wondering. I stay in it, you know, and it's like, yeah, maybe you want to make something for people. My opinion is I want to make something for people that they understand. I care. I care. If I'm playing a bodybuilder, I care about the bodybuilding community. If I'm playing Jesse Brown, you know, from Devotion. I care about his legacy, his family. I apply everything I have into that. But you can also laugh and joke on him, have a good time. You know what I mean? And like. And like that part. I did do those things, you know, I was nice and jolly on set and this and this. But there's a part of me that just wouldn't allow myself to. You know, I've never seen a movie I made. You know what I mean? Too hard to watch. No. You know, it's funny. The more. The more I. The more I think about it, I think there was a part of me that felt unworthy of being on the screen. Well, unworthy of, like. Like, that's. That's. I made it for them, you know, like, you made that art for the people. You struggle for the people, you know, in the art form. It's done now. You know, you said you never watch your work. You didn't watch Lovecraft Country. Did I watch Lovecraft Country? I saw probably 35 minutes of Lovecraft Country. Crazy. It's a 10 hour. It's a 10 hour thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I seen it four times. You ain't watch it. Thank you, sis. When you talk about inviting. And I was sitting here thinking. Because I heard it was two questions I had for you. Just listening to you, you. When you talk about the projects that you have coming up, I thought about, like, the fact that right now you're on this press run. When you sat down with Kevin Frazier and you said wifey. And then the story came out about you guys being married, it was like, oh, my God, he's married. But then on another hand, it was like he announced this because all this other stuff came out. The Rolling Stone article with the audio. You right now are working and moving, but I feel like. Like I don't even. It's not on purpose, but there's so many things that are coming at you. How are you dealing with all of that? Because being married is such a good moment. Being able to get back to work is a good moment. But there's a lot coming your way. What's the Daily, like, who. I can do this? Because you've done the work on yourself at this point. Amen. It's the work, you know, and it's God, you know, and also, like in our family, like, we've been through it. We've been through a lot in a. In a short amount of time, you know, I mean, like, we are war buddies and husband and wife, you know, and best friend, like, but for real, for real war. But it's not like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We've been through it, you know what I mean? And we'll continue to go through it, but something that we really talk about and something like, we can't let, like, we gotta live our life. You mean like. Yes. Everyone in this room, you know, is in the public eye, right? Yeah. If I didn't do something that I had planned, by the way, that I had planned months ago, because, you know, one of us are having a bad day or. Or I'm having a really bad day, I would not get up in the morning. You know what I mean? I wouldn't get up in the morning. So. So who. Who's gonna dictate my life? Who's gonna dictate my happiness? Yeah, you know, well, me and God, you know. Do you have an idea of who is creating this targeted attack? Because let's be clear, I think it's a targeted attack. I mean, when I look at, you know, you gotta charge with misdemeanor assault and harassment we see you on video running away from this violation. There's the optics of the big black man, you know, white, white, blonde haired woman. And it's like every time you're about to do something right, like the Hollywood Reporter article comes out, start hearing this good news about magazine dreams, then all of a sudden this audio leaks. And the audio was from 2022. Come on, man. Yeah, come on. You got to know that there's somebody targeting you because everybody deserves redemption. There's people out here screaming for other folks to get redemption that have done way worse. I've been accused of wayward and I've been granted. Yes. Yeah, I mean, listen, let the streets talk, you know, Let the streets talk, you know, it's very. Again, I got a whole wife to deal with. You know, I got a, I got a bunch of dogs, I got a 12 year old daughter I got to get to and spend some time with and you know, show her some, show her more stuff, you know what I mean? Like, but you know, you could be getting granted a lot more grades. I even think about like Marvel, Marvel, you know, they had controversies with guys like Jeremy Renner who plays Hawkeye. The guy who played Namor had some things, but. But they were so quick to part ways with you. Robert Downey Jr. Was allotted grades like. Yeah, I mean, you play the hand you dealt, you know, and it's not over till it's over. You know what I mean? Like, it's not over till it's over. You know, there's just. There's one thing I know. I love my wife, I love my daughter, I love my family. I love this art form and I trust in God and I know for a fact what's in me right now. I mean, I'm on fire inside, you know, I'm on fire. You know, the next time I hit a set, I can't wait to tell that story, to spend time with the crew, to promote that film, to get out to the people to come see you guys again. And I have no doubt in my mind, you know, that it's going to happen. I don't know when. You know though, we have, you know, we have things in the works. But were those rumors about Marvel bringing King back true, man. Here's the thing about Marvel, right? You don't know until you know. You know. You don't know until you know. I will say this though. Of all the characters I played, right, Kang carries a certain novelty and a certain challenge for an actor that I would love to play it again, you know, and so when I hear people talk about it, as long as the streets are talking, as long as the fans are talking, you know, there is a. There's hope, you know. How was the letter that you wrote to Marvel, to Kevin? What was his letter? Feige. Kevin Feige. Kevin. Kevin Feige. How was that letter received? I don't know how it was received, you know, but, but I, you know, I, I've got his info. I know it's him, you know, I mean, and I sent it to him, you know, and he's a. He's in. I'm sure he was in a tough position when I sent it to him. It was, it was long after a lot of this stuff, you know, I really, I love that man, you know, that, that, that specific individual. I really love him, you know, I've got nothing but love for Marvel. But yeah, you know, yeah, you know, I didn't hear back. All right, we got more with Jonathan Majors when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Jonathan Mages. Charlemagne.

That came out and it was just a bunch of different people, you know, saying you were emotionally abusive to them and, you know, verbally abusive and, you know, they worked you before, and it wasn't a pleasant experience. When that came out, did you ever look at any of that stuff and say, okay, some of that might be justified. I might have been an ass situation. That article, you know, they were talking about from college days. So you're not the same, man. Yeah, yeah, well, everybody's entitled to their opinion as far as. I'm just gonna. I'm just gonna say some facts and this. I went to North Carolina School of the Arts, and I also went to Yale. I was at Yale. I was on a full scholarship. I was also on a Lloyd Richard scholarship. Our brother, Lloyd Richards brought in August Wilson camp, all that stuff. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, man. Rest in peace. I was recipient of that. When that information happened, that's when I went. That was hard because I go, this is Yale University. Where's the write up? If all of this is true, where's the write up from my administration, from my dean? Where is it? That was the only thing in which I got involved because it was supposed to be family. Family. Right. I got involved and went, show me, show me. Show me the paperwork. I. Not my lawyer. I hit my dean and said, show me, said, no, there's nothing there. I still have the email. You know what I mean? Do I still wear my Yale cap? Yeah, because I went. And I understand. I understand. I don't agree with it, but I understand. You know, and all off record, what went through your mind when Michael Ailey had picked up Megan? I want to see you. I want to see you answer that one. I want to see. When did this happen? Is this in the movie? When y'all was on the red carpet, Remember? And Michael, he came up and said hello to Megan in the clip that they had online. Yeah, he picked her up. The clip they had online. You were just standing there, and people was like, yo, I know he was salty, but there was the part of y'all shaking hands before. He didn't speak to you, too, but yeah. Oh, I remember this. I remember this. I remember this. I love that. Pretty, man. Look at him. Pretty eyes lifting up. My wife. It's all good. No, no, no. That's my brother. That's my brother. Yeah. I mean, what went wrong? Well, I mean, they have. They have a. They have a beautiful friendship. Yeah, they have all these things, you know, like, And. And respectfully, because, like, we have real life, and then we have what everyone says about our real life. Right. And. And as you all know, we have to navigate between those two things. Right. If the things people say about our life actually make their way into our lives, then the people have to be mature enough to address it. And brother Ely, who I've seen many times, we did a workshop together at Dion's place. Michael Ely was like, hey, bro, my bad. You know me. And I was like, respect. Yeah. Respect. Yeah. I was like, this man trained for creed. One of them blows. Michael's done. That's all love. It's all love. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I have a question about the movie. So in. In Magazine Dreams, your relationship with your father is insane because of the thing him and your mom. And I don't want to give it away. Sorry. Yeah. Yes, I'm with you. I'm with you. I'm making eye contact with your father. But in real life life, too, you talk about your dad leaving your life and, you know, some of the things you dealt with after that. I was basically asking because it's such a messed up situation that you're in, taking care of your papa. And then. And then in real life, you talk about your dad and him leaving you and your mom. Like, I've heard you talk about that a couple times. Yeah, yeah. And then your mom came to this to see this movie. Yeah, yeah. And I know mom had to be like, you know, there's some trauma probably with her, too, that came back in. It's all there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think every time you have to touch something, you kind of want to make it connect. You know what I mean? You want to make it connect. And my father, my biological father, my dad, you know, I don't want to hurt him. Right. But I love him, you know, But. But we experienced something that could have been avoided had he not done what he done, you know? I mean, done what he did. Yeah. Come on. Yeah, yeah. Thank you, brother. You know what I mean? So there's that. And so you. Because what we're talking about is a shared trauma, right? Between what Kelian understands and what happened to him in his world and what I understand, what happened to me in my world. And that the visceral abandonment, if that makes sense, is something that I can always connect to, and it's something that I've experienced, something that Killian does experience. And so in that monologue right, where we're going through it. Yeah. Obviously, the images of. Of my father, you know, who. Let me just be very clear. I love my dad. You know, I love him for the man he Is. But it is what it is, you know? I mean, and it's. It's up to him to fix that. You know? I mean, I understand that. You know, you make a mistake, it's up to you to fix it. You know, something wrong with you, it's up to you to fix it. So, you know. Standing by, dad. Standing by. No. What? I'll tell you something, man. If you actually. I don't know if you have. But when you actually have conversations with your father. Yeah. And he tells you about. About his upbringing. Yep. And his childhood and the things he went through, I guarantee you'll end up giving them more grace. Yeah. And I think sometimes we forget our parents had a life before they were our parents and currently had lives while they were our parents. Right. Yeah. I mean, so, like. And. And we all know, like, bring a child into. Bro. Thank you. Like. Like, I. I completely agree with that, you know, And. And I'm. And I'm on my way to that, but I was about to say, are you at that place? It's just. But it's just that, like, this. This is. This is the rebirth. This is the new. This is the. This is the new bop, you know? Like. Like, my big brother says to me, hey, dog. You know, and straight up, I've heard that before, right? But I go, megan said it to me before, you know, and it's just like, he speaks to my brother. He speaks to my mom, he speaks to my sister. You know, I mean, I'm just the eldest son, you know, the southern eldest son. That may mean something to some of the listeners. Right? That's different. You. I mean, and it's like. It's a different thing. But what. But then it's not. Right? Like, that chat, that's something else, Right? You speaking from your hurt there. Right. Hearing you now. Right. You helped me. I go, yeah, damn, you. Right? Because. Right. It makes me think about the character Killian, Right. When you're watching the film, the angry black man Persona, whatever you want to say it is. It's all justified, you know, being the way his. He lost his parents, what grandfather's going through, you know, all of that. But your trauma's not your fault, but your healing's your responsive responsibility. And I think by the end of the movie, that's what he learns. That's what I wish I would have. That y'all would have explored a little bit more, because we saw the problems. Yeah, but where was the solution? I'm gonna watch the. I mean, I promise this. You were gonna Let us take time to watch the last three minutes of the picture at some point together and. Wait. We gotta stop talking about this. This is a spoiler alert. Let me tell you something. You know when Charlemagne watch a movie, because listen, he is. He. He really watched. He been talking about this since yesterday. Look, he'd be up here lying to everybody about listening to the albums before we come in here. He done toast. He done look people dead in the eye. I watch. Watched the show. Did not. Did not watch the show. He watched this movie called Me. Yeah, yo, you need to watch. Yo, this is. This is great. This is his greatest role ever. And I'm like, this how you know he is in here expounding. Guess what Jess told me when I said, you should watch Magazine Dream. I will, but I'm. Let me finish watching Tyler Perry. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. Go ahead. Go ahead. I was paid to do a review on the movie because, you know, I be doing reviews. Look, Magazine Dreams is one of the best movies. We love our brother. We love our brother. I get it. Listen, there was a movie. I don't know if you. I saw it. It was a movie. It's called the Actor who Was Chased around the City. He actually was gonna name it the Actor who Was Chased around the City by the White Woman Woman, but he chose to. Yeah, it was too long. You need to watch it. And it's good. Yes. You know, might trigger you or not. Because you. You know, you might. No, no. Because the redemption for him is in the movie. So you. Okay. And I just gave it away, but you need to watch it. Amen. Yes. I only got a couple. His name is Elvin Graves from Baltimore. He makes films based on, you know, controversial. I'm sorry. Sorry. Is this a real movie? It's a real movie. Oh, my goodness. Some things on tubi that get like. It's a real movie. Wow. Yes. Listen, keep doing the work, my brother. Magazine Dreams is in theaters right now. Go see it. Go check it out. It's. It's. I can't wait to see all the think pieces and the conversations. Oh, bro. Yeah. You know, and remember, redemption is not perfection. My brother. Good to see you, man. I will salute to Jonathan Mages. Make sure you check out his movie Magazine Dreams. Now, the latest with Lauren is up next. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just Larry is Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren. Lauren becoming a straight face. She gets him from somebody that knows somebody. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything. She'd be having the latest on this, the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit everything. Oh, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Shamia Morton and Porsha Williams relationship is not the same, y'all. I am so sad to report that. Even though I don't know you. Huh? I really am. I love them as a friend. As friends on the show. I don't know how in depth this is and what that fully means, but Portia got online and talked about it the other day. Let's take a listen. I don't know if Kandi said I didn't like Shamia. I think what Kandi said was she doesn't believe we're as cool as we used to be. And yes, that's true. When you come on the show and you have certain expectations, it and then things seem to turn on you without you knowing. You know, that can change any relationship. But I don't think Candy said anything like that. Don't y'all. Don't be trying to stir stuff up now because you know how y'all do. So why didn't I post Shimia song? Well, she didn't send it to me to post. I guess Shimmy has sent it to everybody, but she didn't send it to me, so. So I didn't have it to post. That seems to be the storyline this week. Shut up. Oh, I'm sorry. But I did say that when she was up here, remember? I did too. I said the fact that Shamia let you know, somebody talk about Portia now as her best friend and didn't check her immediately. Immediately. I just thought it was a little odd. For me, it was the car scene in the first episode of this season of Real Housewives of Atlanta. The way Shamia responded, I was like, I know Shamia takes a lot in their friendship, but I've never seen her outrightly express it. So I was just shocked to see that. But I will say Shamia has been holding Portia down. Like to find out that they not as close as they are right now. And I've been watching some of us. Shamia's recent interview she's been doing. She's been promoting her new song. Never had that, which is out right now. Like, she told one outlet that, you know, she has had conversations with Portia in the past about disappointment, but it is what it is and, you know, she's still a good friend and will always be a good Friend. And then she told another outlet that when it was about the whole Drew thing, that, like, she didn't fool with Drew doing whatever she's trying to do right now with Dennis. And she's like, yo, y'all know I sing and Shimmy's song is actually good. She was like, y'all know I sing and I do TV stuff. And Dennis has reached out to me to do multiple things. And I've always said no because I didn't want to muddy the waters. Like, I wanted to keep it respectful. So she's still been holding it down for Portia, though. Didn't they been filmed the show, though? They did been film the show. So they know that. They know they wasn't on good terms way before today or this week. Yeah, but I'm saying we just seen it. Shamia could have got into interviews and said anything, though. Some of it's playing it out loud. Yeah, it's playing out now on tv, even though it was already filmed. But she's doing these interviews now and still keeping it very, like, you know, respectful of whatever is happening. Yeah, that's how reality TV work. Cause even in love and hip hop, like, that's how a lot of. Of, like what, you know Yandy and Medici that they going through right now? They're. They're not the chuckle. No, I love. I love Yandy. I recently met her. But that whole thing is crazy. The whole thing is crazy. Yeah. Ben filmed it, but they are. You know what I'm saying? Like, they're going through it. They're living it in real time. Yes. You got feel un. All right. So I love hip hop. You know Mendes and Yandy. Yes. So apparently they were in the club and somebody had pulled Mendeezee's arm to ask him, are you married? And so he tells the woman, it's complicated. Oh, yes. He didn't say yes. He didn't say, no. He said, it's complicated. So then Yandy sees that and she noticed the girl. So she goes in Mendeecees DM and she DM's the girl as Mendeecee and said, hey. And then the girl said, hey. And so, yeah, that's it. Now people don't believe that it was actually her. They believe that it's him and that, you know, she's just covering for her husband. That's what's going on. And the son Lumen DC even came out and said, no, it wasn't my stepmom, it was me who did it. Yes, yes, yes. And then their Daughter, the foster daughter, she just jumped on Instagram and she redid it and she said no, it's me who respected. Yeah. Cause black men don't cheat. So it's everybody butman dc. That's right. Is the thing I respect like that salute to that family. So that's, that's, that's what's going on, Lauren. Yes. All right, so that's all your story. Yes, I'm done. Okay, look, so I know that you're single. Huh? And I want. That's, that's not a joke. That's not a joke. I know that you're single, but people don't know what you want. That's the thing. Okay, so what I, what I'm doing is I have two potentials. For people to know what you want, you have to let us know. Okay, so look, I'm gonna give you two options. You're gonna pick. Okay, so 34 year old man, no kids. Master chef with a show on Food network. Intentional lover, very romantic. He's resourceful and supportive, but he's insecure. He got trust issues. And he's manipulative. Oh, that's number one. Two 40 year old, two teenage kids from a previous marriage. So he's been married before? Divorced. All right. CEO of an established tech company. Emotionally intelligent. His love languages are acts of service and physical touch. But he don't believe in God. And his best friend is his mother. I like this Jesse. I know how to get her out of here. I'm gonna find her a man. You know what? Shut up. You try to get me pregnant yet? No, I'm not trying to get you pregnant. Get her ass on maternity. Hey, yo, come on, yo, for real. Which one? Cause I know that you do believe in God. God? I do. You are a Christian. And I'm taking these men serious. Like I'm not just like playing with their feelings. I wish I had balloons so you can pop. But we need to know what you want. People call up all the time. I tell Lauren I'm looking for, but are they good enough? It's so hard, cuz the God, the. The God thing is really big for me. But also the insecurity thing is like I'm gonna be miserable. And he's manipulative too. The. The 34 year old. Yeah, we gonna be in there. Tit for tat. All right, so we can, we can revisit it back in the. In the. I feel like I need to answer it now. Okay, you should, I think. Because the fact that you can't Lets people know that you don't even know what you want. No, I know what I want. I think I'm just weighing options. It's the lesser evils. It's like don't believe in God and he best friends with his mother. And you got to think about that. Yeah. Being best friends with your mother, it can be great. But I will say but it can be scary at the same time when you got a woman. It can but if it's manageable. I like men who have great relationships with their mothers. It's just a little bit different. They not trying to find something. The God thing, how deep is his, how deep is his disbelief or non belief in God? He don't go to church. He don't believe in God at all. He doesn't even believe in a higher being. He believed that we're energies and we're just colliding. I would probably take the second guy. Second guy that don't believe in God and that's best friends with his mom. Only because I feel like I would need to explore the friendship with the mom. And maybe it's just a. It's. Maybe it's healthy. Maybe it's. He was raised well and the God, the spiritual thing I, you know I walk with God and I think that my faith journey I could bring him on in. Bring him in. We get married in a church outside of our. For the Lord. Yeah. All the time. That's what my walk looks like. All right, cool. Now you know these men in real life. No, absolutely not. But I just, I'm trying to figure out what you want is happening a little shut for me. People are gonna hear this because they want to know what you want. So now the right men gonna be calling up looking for you and we gonna turn. We don't. We gonna get you. Now all the atheists about to be in my DMs. Good luck, Lauren. Thank you. You going to need it donkey today we give you do before after the hour. Man. We need this freaky ass teacher Britney Fort and Barry to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with her, please. All right, we'll get to that next. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wa. Wake up. Wake up. You're locked into the Breakfast Club. I was born a donkey. It's the donkey of the devil. Yes. Donkey Today for Friday, March 21st goes to a 31 year old Indiana teacher named Britain Fortenberry. Now Brittany was a school teacher at Eminence High School in Martinsville, Indiana. And you know, we have all these conversations about needing teachers that care because a lot of them don't. Well, Brittany is not gonna make us stop saying that, okay? I told y'all before. Do you know how crazy, scary, spooky and slightly hilarious it is that we just wake up and drop our kids off someplace with a, with a bunch of adults? We don't even know that's what school is. Sure we know our kids teachers names. Well, the women do. Sure, we might have spoke to them a little bit, but we don't really know these people. We don't know these teachers. We have no idea what they be on outside of that school. School. And all we can do is pray that our, our kids don't run into a Brittany Fortenberry. Because Brittany is what we call a predah, okay? A predator. A predator. A predator is a predator whore hybrid. What do you mean, Uncle Charlotte? She's a predator whore. Well, let's go to Fox59 for the report, please. The latest victim came forward after Fortenberry's case got significant media attention at the end of February. At the time, the original victim, a high school student, told police Fortenberry had sexual relations with him and at least five, maybe 10 other students. One them came forward and in new charging documents filed this week, told investigators Fortenberry gave the boy shrooms that made him feel funny, saying she would wait about an hour before grabbing their arms and sexually touching herself with them. The 14 year old victim went on to tell investigators that Brittany made him watch while she had sex with his friends and that she would pleasure herself using his school pictures. The boy also recounted a specific encounter at Fortenberry's home where Fortenberry made them wear masks from the horror film Scream and they proceeded to take turns having sex with for the next two hours. Fortenberry was also facing charges after police say she sent sexual videos to students at Eminence High School. Her husband also charged with intimidation and failing to make a report. The mother of one victim told police Nicholas Fortenberry knew about things and threatened to slaughter the victim in front of her if he came forward and reported the abuse. Jesus Christ freaky ass teacher. Brittany Fortenberry, a teacher, was buying these high school kids expensive gifts. You heard the news report. She was giving them shrooms and weeds, weed and vapes and liquor. On one occasion, she allegedly spent 600 on a group of teens and then forced them to have group sex with her. She paid these teenagers to run a train on her okay. While they all wore masks from the movie screen. My God. If you wanted Ghostface in the clan to run a train on you. Wu Tang is going on tour this summer. Okay? This woman is sick. And what I don't understand is she sounds like she would be a good time for a man or men of legal age. Listen, if you are a woman who wants to get gang banged, who am I to judge? If you want a plethora of penises going in and out of you. Do your thing. Do your thing. Your thing. Wang Tang Bangalang. Okay. Have a phone party. Damn it. Hot dog eating contest. Let me see how many glizzies you can gobble in an hour if that's what you want to do. But why can't you find someone of legal age to participate in these acts? And you a teacher. And by the way, you wasting your time being a teacher. I respect people who can do more than one thing. But back in August, two students reported that you sent them inappropriate videos of sex toys. You had a stripper poll in your house. House. You had nude pics that you were sending them through IG you really want to be a porn star? Okay, you don't want to be no damn teacher. All right? You wasting your talents. Unless of course you're a sex education teacher. I bet any amount of money her sex education class would be incredible. What? Mac. What year? Mac just walked in. What? Medium Mac. All right, now hear me out. No, no, no. Wait a minute. No, no. It don't sound as bad as it sounds. No, that's the. Listen, that's the class where the students give the teacher a D or A. All right, bye. I'm serious. Bye. Hey, shout out to Mr. Lockwood, my Spanish teacher. I wanted to roll my Rs on her. Like please give Britney for and Barry the biggest. He haw. That's crazy. He said mister too. He did say mister, but then he said her. I'm mind my business. Even though Trump did sign the executive order. I'mma respect it. You don't know what he identifies that I'm respecting. Respect it. Okay, you did say something that. I just made me think about it. What? I don't know none of my kids teachers names. Yeah, do though. Yeah. That's why I said my wife said the women do I. I don't. I know the faces. I know the face. I say what's up? I barely know the faces. I always tell the faces that open houses. You know what I'm saying? Like I think about stuff like that all the Time. Like, why don't I know these people? I should know the teachers. My wife know them. My wife know them. My wife talks to him. I don't. You know, that's why I said the women do. I know the face, but I don't know the names. Something happened. I'd be like, what's class is he in? I'd be like, show me a picture. All right, all right. Well, thank you for that. Donkey of the day. Now, yesterday, Felicia Rashad was here, and you guys had a conversation. I missed it because I was getting honored in my alum. My school, Hampton University. Salute to all the HBCUs. Okay. For black A family conference. I'm not Dominican. Shut up. Hey, man, I'm letting everybody live their life today. Felicia Rashad said this. Oh, he said, I ain't got the clip. Let me just look at the producers for a second. Hey, man, they told me 20 minutes. This is why is this Eastside High right here? Go ahead, Jeff. Go off. Oh, they got it now. Okay. You know, you came up in an era, Ms. Rashad, where dignity and grace were everything. So do you ever look at how wild Hollywood is now and you just think to yourself, y'all wouldn't have got away with that in my day. Yeah, I don't even have to look at Hollywood. I could look at the way young ladies dress. The young ladies are so beautiful. And I don't mean to be critical, and I hope young ladies listening. Don't take this as personal criticism, because I don't mean it that way, but your young queens. I'm taken aback when I see, on a college campus, young women dressed in strips of clothing. But more importantly than that, no man wants his woman to be out like that. Right. Well, let's get your opinion on what she said. 800-585-1051. Fellas, how do you feel? Ladies, how do you feel? Let's discuss. Discuss. We'll do it when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. It's topic time.

If you're just joining us, yesterday Phylicia Rashad stopped through the show. We got a chance to sit down and talk with us. And this is one thing she said about the way women dress today. Let's listen. You know, you came up in an era, Ms. Rashad, where dignity and grace were everything. So do you ever look at how wild Hollywood is now and you just think to yourself, y'all wouldn't have got away with that in my day. You'd have to look at Hollywood. I could look at the way young ladies dress. The young ladies are so beautiful. And I don't mean to be critical, and I hope young ladies listening. Don't take this as personal criticism, because I don't mean it that way, but you're young queens. I'm taken aback when I see, on a college campus, young women dressed in strips of clothing. But more importantly than that, no man wants his woman to be out like that, right? So we're taking your calls, 800-585-1051 and asking, how do you feel, Jess? I feel like she. She definitely was spot on. You know, even if it's not for a man, though. I mean, because I noticed she turned to you Charlamagne, and she asked, you know, would you want your woman coming out, you know, exposing our body? Not for nothing. It's even for yourselves, you know, like, just having dignity and just, you know, respecting yourself, leaving something to the imagination. I know my grandmother and my mother used to say that all the time, leave something to their imagination. Now I've dressed skimpy and all that, but it's a time and place for it. I believe. I believe it sometimes. Ain't nothing wrong with showing what you got, you know, I mean, but, like, it's a time and place for. And I did it more when I was single, so I understand. I get it, Charlotte. I mean, like I said in the interview, I grew up on Method man saying, you know, three fourths of cloth, never showing your stuff off Nas saying baggy sweatsuits and mystery was underneath them. Like, you know, so it was. To me, it was just. It's always been about just the beauty. Like, you know, what does that. What does your face look like? And then you imagine what's underneath all of the clothes. So I totally understand what Felicia, Ms. Rashad is talking about. I agree with Jess. There's a. There's a place in time for everything, right? And the reason I say that is, is my wife, when we was teenagers, she wore. What do they call the bicycle shorts and the tops? That was the style back then. You know what I mean? But she also wore baggy clothes and jerseys and hoodies. It was a balance, though. She ain't wear skimpy stuff all day long, but she did wear that biker shorts when she was out running track and playing ball or whatever it was. But I think there's a balance in things and I do think it's sexier when women do have on clothes like a black dress, like a, you know, a fitting black dress. Or even when women be out here walking around in the. The yoga pants with the yoga outfit. That's why I like to see my wife in. When she got on her yoga. Well, yoga pants ain't skimpy, but it is sexy. That's what I mean. Like, that's what I like. I like to see my wife in that black dress with them yoga pants and that. Because you can still see her shape but you're not seeing any of her skin. Exactly, exactly. But let's go to the phone lines. We have Dom on the line. Dom, good morning. Good morning. Hey, what's up, Dom? Talk to us. What's your thoughts? Thoughts? So I'm just returning back to college. Good morning all of y'all. Good morning every morning. What's cool? I'm just returning back to college after 10 years. I'm 30. What college? What college? What school? University of Louisiana at last year. Okay, congrats. So back in the day I was all with it, you know, I was all with the, you know, we wearing bras to the party and you know, all that. So now like going back to school, people, it's like looking at them. It's 40 degrees outside and Louisiana doesn't get that cold. We just had a freeze recently and they. Is this a good time? It's me, Dylan Mulvaney and my dear friend Joe Locke from Heartstopper. And Agatha all along is my very first guest on my brand new podcast, the Dylan Hour. It's musical mayhem and it is going to be so much fun. I like a man. You, you like a man? What do I like, Joe?

I cannot wait for all you girls, gays and they to join me on this extremely special pink confection of a podcast.

And girls out there wearing strip clothes, going to class, and it's like, so what you gonna. I mean, we don't have those classes. You Know, like, we don't have a class that entitles you to dress like that. That's funny as hell. Nah, like, for real, like, what you gonna do in class? Like, you got heels on. What we got six inch heels for? And we walking and it's ice and we can't even drive in the snow, let alone walking. Like, we don't even have snow boots out. And it snowed and y'all walking around in heels and little shorts and I know y'all cold. That's funny as I ain't a class on this campus that you should be dressing like that to go to. Hello? Who's this? This is Naji. Hey, Najee. Good morning. What's your thoughts on what Felicia Rashad said? Nobody cares about what a man wants. At the end of the day, they're gonna do what they want to do regardless if you dress fully or if you're not. They cheat on the ones that they put up right now, you know. But see, everybody not like that. Like, you sound like you're a little hurt, boss and things, you know what I mean? Like, I'm not hurt, basically. Okay, okay. No, no, no. And I totally get understand what you're saying. It's not all about men, but all men don't cheat. And sometimes you definitely want your companion. You want to be attractive to your companion and you definitely want to value, you know, how they look at you as well, you know what I'm saying? Especially if you're in it. If you're in a committed relationship, you definitely care about what your man think, you know? Yeah. I mean, not only is it reference to if you have a man, but if you're just dating or if you're married that you can take into consideration. But. Right. If you're just dating, why should what you wear matter to that person? If you want a bad, you got a. A. You get what I'm saying? Yeah, I. I understand. Well, let me ask you a question. What would be the reason for a woman to dress like that then? Dress like what? Like if they just want to just, I don't know, just call them provocative or you. Yeah, provocative with thong in their ass. Like, what would be the reason to do it? When girls be just outside with the nipples. Nipples covered in nothing else. It's different settings. Like, you know, you have the club, you know, you got, you know, in the summer, block parties and you know, if you want to be seen. Just certain things, you know, like certain. And then it's also the music too, you know, you know, certain Music, I ain't gonna lie. Certain music make me want to put on certain things and dance. You know what I mean? It just depends on the setting, though. So you're doing it for you? Yeah, sometimes. Okay. It depends, you know, because some. Some women do it. They do do it for men or their man or whatever. Some. Some of it is like that. 800-585-1051. Felicia Rashad was here yesterday, and this is what she said. You know, you came up in an era, Ms. Rashad, where dignity and grace were everything. So do you ever look at how wild Hollywood is now? And you just think to yourself, y'all wouldn't have got away with. Yeah, I don't even have a look at Hollywood. I could look at the way young ladies dress. The young ladies are so beautiful. And I don't mean to be critical, and I hope young ladies listening don't take this as personal criticism, because I don't mean it that way. But your young queens, I'm taken aback when I see on a college campus, young women dressed in strips of clothing. But more importantly than that, no man wants his woman to be out like that. That right? Do you agree? Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. If y'all talking about it, you know we talking about it. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Bread Breakfast Club. Now. Felicia Rashad stopped through yesterday, and we had a discussion about some of the things that women wear. And this is what she said. You know, you came up in an era, Ms. Rashad, where dignity and grace were everything. So do you ever look at how wild Hollywood is now and you just think to yourself, y'all wouldn't have got away with that in my day. Yeah, I don't even have a look at Hollywood. I could look at the way young ladies dress. The young ladies are so beautiful. And I don't mean to be critical, and I hope young ladies listening don't take this as personal criticism, because I don't mean it that way. But you're young queens. I'm taken aback when I see, on a college campus, young women dressed in strips of clothing. But more importantly than that, no man wants his woman to be out like that. Right. So we're asking, 800-585-1051, what are your thoughts? Hello? Who's this? Hi, this is Zola calling from Charleston, South Carolina. What's up? Zola, what's your name? 843. Okay. So I feel like it's not what you wear, it's how you wear it. And of course, like, times have changed now, so. So I don't know, it's just different. This is not the 1940s and 60s no more. So. Jesus, what I got to do with anything? They had mini skirts and stuff back then. I dress. I want to dress. That's just like. I don't know. But you know what I think when you take a step back, right? Because, you know, like you said, you know, some women walk around and they have their nipple showing or they have their thong up their ass. And I guess a lot of men want to see that. They enjoy seeing it. But then I always take a step back. Like, if you got a daughter, would you want your daughter to wear. Wear that? Would you feel comfortable with your daughter walking out with her nipples out or her thong up her ass? Most men would say, son, what? Well, it depends on how old she is at the end of the day. Because if she grown, she grown. But see, I got like three daughters, so I don't know, that might be something to think about. Yeah, but I don't care how grown you are, My daughter ain't coming in the house showing her nipples in her thong, and neither is my son. But it's not even. You don't gotta wear your. You don't gotta show your nipples and your thong to be sexy. So it's just. It's different shape. I agree with that. So do you agree with it or disagree with. Agree with it. Do you think women should cover up a little bit? I disagree with it. Okay, okay. All right. It was even made like a big deal. I'm an open minded person, too, so I disagree with it, okay? Because I just. Sexy. A lot, a lot. How much do you weigh? Oh, boy. Oh, no. Oh, no. Solomon, we not doing this this morning. What? I just heard you say you had three kids. I'm just asking the question. So, no. Okay, so I weigh like 174. How tall are you? 5. Don't call me obese either. We not doing that. 5, 5, 175-174. We are doing that. Don't do that. I didn't do nothing. I'm just asking questions. I haven't said a word. Let's add that. Let's add that in there. And I had twins full term, so we're not doing that. Okay? Okay, okay. All right. Charlemagne. I have nothing to say. Shout out to the 843. You know what I'm saying, man? Usually you do things based off objects. Nope, not doing that today. Nope, not doing it today. Okay. Hello, 5175. You figure it out. Hello. How you doing? What's up, Sid? Talk to us. What's your thoughts? I'm. I'm two minds with this, right? People should be able to dress how they want to dress, right. But be smart about it, right. Like know where you at and what you doing. Like at hbcu, you don't got to dress in plastic clothes on every day. So especially when it's cold outside. I see these, see these women be talking about, oh, I'm cold. Oh, I'm so cold. But they wearing nothing but a crop top and a skirt. That is the thing. I don't know. Like people do not like this generation. There's a certain generation, especially the young, youngins, they don't like wearing jackets for some reason when it's freezing outside. It don't make no sense. No, you're right. But thank you, brother. But the whole like not covering up thing, didn't somebody else just make that a bit? I think it was Sherry Shepherd. It was a. Some red carpet and she went on her show and she had followed up with the looks that were on the red carpet and Megan had like pasties on her nipples. And then like it was just some big award show where the record. Well, most of the ladies had like pasties, pasty outfits or whatever, you know, and she was even kind of speaking to what police Rashad was saying. And I agree for, you know, to a certain extent they weren't ass naked on the red carpet. But she was saying like it was a level of class that used to be required, you know, and just unspoken women just covered themselves. They didn't let it all hang out, even on red carpet. Like you said earlier, it's a time and a place. Like I think that you know, of course the beach, we know that. Right. But like Jeff said earlier, the club, if you go into the club, there is club out there. Club fits, right? Yeah. But you know what the red carpet, you know, people have, you know, they do that for the red carpet to get that attention. Right. You remember seeing little Kim's dragon dress, you know, where she had one. One breast out. You know, she got fondled and nobody ever said nothing. Lil Kim got founded on live television. Diana Ross. Oh, yep, yep. And nobody said nothing. Oh, yeah. And she plucked her nipple. Plucked it. She gave it a little jiggle. Jiggle. Yes. We Got Jennifer Lopez's outfit. People were talking about how, quote, unquote, provocative. That was. That was fly, though, I thought. I mean, the little Kim thing was fly for its time, but the JLO thing was. It was just a fitted suit, if I'm remembering that right. Nobody else said no. When Prince had his ass out. People did say something, didn't they? Didn't the comedians? Yeah. I'm not repeating what my daddy said on the radio. Okay, all right. But it was a 90s gay slur, I'll tell you that. What's the ball of the story, y'all? I'm not sure. I just felt like, you know, it's a time and a place for everything. That's just the. The moral of the story. It's a time and a place for it. Oh, listen to your elders, because you ain't like Felicia. She's not wrong. It's just a conversation starter, but she not wrong in what she's saying. And she even said she didn't want to offend any of the youngins. Yep. All right, well, we got past the orcs. When we come back, Nala will be joining us, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Boring, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's time for Pastor Oaks. Dj. Yeah, dj. Come spin that. Come spin. What's up, guys? Hey, girl, how are you? Good, good. Let's get into it. First, I'm gonna start off with the slower record, cuz Wale is about to drop an album, but he just drops his first single off the project called Blanco. My God, Wale, it's about to get warm. Yes. Not right now, man. But I do like it, though. I mean, I get it. He's obviously dealing with some things. Yes, it's dope, but God damn, I miss Wale, though. It's been a long time since Wale came out. People about to be outside trying to keep people in the house. He always express his feelings, man. I just saw him in the media. He was telling people, get his name right, Somebody. What you mean, somebody? Yeah, somebody pronounced his name wrong, and they had tweeted and somebody else famous was like, is it Whale or Wale? And he was like, yo, stop playing with my name. Yeah, I agree. Stop playing with me. Y'all know my name is. Yeah, he's too well established. No, that's my guy, though. Yes. All right, next. Currency dropped the tape last Friday, and my favorite record on there is called Airport Industries featuring Wiz Khalifa. It has, like, that blog air feel. Summer night vibe. Summer night vibe. Okay, so the currency. Currency is consistent, you know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, I feel like when you hear a currency record, you hear a currency record, like, it's just consistent, I guess. Okay, I get what Jeff said is cool. It's like summer night vibe. It's kind of like that song that's playing on a summer night around 9, 30, 10, 10, 30. Y'all lit, but y'all not really lit. Summer night vibe. Yeah, I think with like, the Alchemist and two chains. Yeah, Alchemist, two chains and Larry June Project. I think this Currency project kind of is like the next follow up for me as far as things I'm listening to personally. But I did my first, like, all rap night where I just spun straight rap the entire night in Brooklyn at this spot called Dumbala. And a lot of artists came up and we played a lot of unreleased music. But one that really stood out to me that night was this lox record by HD Bendo. Piece from Brooklyn. Shout out Brooklyn? Who that? HD Bendo. Okay, that's nice. Yeah. Okay. HD Bendo. You from Brooklyn? Yes. Okay. Got that energy and the beat is hard. Yes, agreed. Okay, last one. Sorry. It's all rap today, guys. But shout out to Leon Thomas and Chris Brown. I know they dropped the remix to Mutt. What? Nice. And then also Doja Cat and. And he's in the back. Doja Cat and Jack Harlow also dropped their record, but we'll get into that next week. I want to make sure I shout out Saba and no id. They just dropped their joint album. And my favorite record on there so far is called west side Bound featuring MF Pivot. Oh, they kind of cut it short, but what y'all think? West Sidebound, MF Pivot. I be tripping off the names, but who am I to talk when I grew up off Ghostface Killer and Project Pack, you know what I mean? Okay, wait, which name? Mf. Cuz they don't be sounding like rappers. Be like west side Bound. I'm like, all right, that's the name. That's song. That's Saba. No id. Oh, okay, okay, okay. And MF Mellow. MF Mellow was his name. That's. No, that's the feature on the project. But you confused. So whose record was that? We just heard. That's Sa's record produced by no id. They have a joint album out. All right, I know. No id. Oh, Lord, you should. You should Know all of them. But I'm learning. You teaching me. Oh, my God. Okay, okay. Yes. The people again. Not Saba, baby. I know Saba, baby. No, not Sada baby. That's a whole Saba. Saba S A, B A man. You are so far behind. It's better Saba and MF Mellow. So those two are in a group called Pivot Gang. They're from Chicago. Got you. West side of Chicago. And I picked that record in particular because in that song, they're pretty much saying how they got their come up in their story and was able to tour and. And how he comes from a family full of musicians. But speaking of families. And it's your job as a DJ to teach. That's what DJs are. DJs are teachers. So you're introducing people to new music. So you're not just introducing me to new records, you're introducing the listeners too. This is true. Yes, this is true. Don't assume everybody knows. Cause I'm telling you they don't. Right? Yes. Cause you over here saying sigh, baby. I'm like, no. But speaking of families envy, I know that KC Crew was just honored by Hampton for the 43rd annual conference of Plus Black Family. Thank you so much. Oh my goodness. This Dominican man still gets Dominican. Gets Dominican. I know they are. But let's talk about this one. Dominican, I'm black.

Introduction
The Breakfast Club, hosted by DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, and Charlamagne Tha God, delivered a compelling episode on March 21, 2025. The hosts navigated through a myriad of topics ranging from high-profile celebrity disputes to pressing national issues, interspersed with insightful interviews and listener interactions. This summary encapsulates the key discussions, insights, and conclusions drawn during the episode.
1. Front Page News
a. President Trump’s Executive Order on the Department of Education
The episode opened with a heated discussion about President Trump's recent executive order aimed at dismantling the Department of Education. Charlamagne Tha God highlighted Trump's reasoning, citing poor performance metrics in U.S. education compared to other nations.
"After 45 years, the United States spends more money on education by far than any other country. Yet near the bottom of the list in terms of success." – President Trump (00:00)
Discussion Points:
State vs. Federal Control: The hosts debated the feasibility of states managing education independently, raising concerns about funding disparities, especially in rural areas.
"It's not going to be an equal type of situation if you return it back to the states. The education system does need federal funding." – Charlamagne Tha God (15:30)
Teachers' Unions and Student Support: They critiqued the role of teachers' unions, with Charlamagne referencing Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s directive to close the department.
"The American Federation of Teachers says the president has given no indication of what this really means, adding that he is preying on America's most vulnerable children." – Frederick Ingham (17:45)
b. Immigration and Deportation Policies
In the latter part of the news segment, the hosts delved into Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's immigration roundtable. Border Czar Tom Homan reported a 96% decline in border crossovers over four months, emphasizing ongoing efforts to remove Venezuelan gang members despite judicial opposition.
"We're not going to rest. I'm not going to sleep well at night until every public safety threat, illegal alien eradicated from this country." – Tom Homan (32:10)
