- [06:50]
We can't hear you. Mimi.
- [06:51]
Kehlani
We can't hear you.
- [06:52]
DJ Envy
Beautiful face, take us off mute.
- [06:54]
Mimi Brown
Hey, can y' all hear me now?
- [06:56]
Kehlani
All right, there we go.
- [06:57]
Mimi Brown
Good morning, Josh, Envy. How y' all doing this morning?
- [06:59]
Deontay Kyle
Good morning.
- [07:00]
Mimi Brown
Good morning. All right, so we start this morning with health care is back in the spotlight and a deadline that could hit millions of families in just about three weeks. So at the center of the fight are those enhanced Affordable Care act subsidies that have been keeping monthly premiums lower. They are set to expire December 31st. Now, if Congress does not act, health insurance costs could rise on January 1st, and not just for people on those ACA plans, but for families whose employers or private premiums are tied to those market rates. So in other words, this is going to affect everyone. Democrats are pushing for a clean three year extension of those subsidies, warning that families will face steep increases if Congress leaves town without a deal. Republicans, meanwhile, they are deeply divided. Moderates, they want to avoid higher premiums. But conservative members, they argue that these Covid era enhancements were never meant to be permanent. And others are demanding policy changes, including new abortion restrictions. And Democrats say that is a non starter. And this is the critical week. The Senate is expected to hold the vote that Democrats were promised during the government shutdown negotiations. Their proposal needs 13 Republicans to reach 60 votes. And right now, the support isn't there. And the vote is expected to fail. And as this deadline approaches, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. He says Democrats, they are united. But argues that Republicans still lack a plan. Let's listen to what he had to say.
- [08:27]
DJ Envy
Now the holiday season is upon us. And this year, instead of wondering whether to buy gifts for their families, people will be agonizing on how to pay for health insurance. More than 20 million Americans will see.
- [08:38]
Deontay Kyle
Their health care costs skyrocket.
- [08:41]
DJ Envy
And don't forget this. Even families with private insurance are seeing their premiums go up. You want to sum up the Republican plan on health care chaos that's all it is. They don't know what they're doing. They don't care. They change their minds every few minutes and they can't put together a plan. We are united in lowering people's costs. We are united in seeing that the ACA credits be extended. Donald Trump and Republicans, what are they doing to solve the health care crisis for our veterans and everybody else? Nothing. That's. That's crazy. It's crazy sad, and I'll tell you why. There's a lot of people, if their kids get sick. This is flu season. Right. So a lot. This is the highest rate that we've seen in years. And people have to decide if they want to take their kids to the emergency room on the weekend or just wait till Monday. Because if they take them to the emergency room, it's like a $500 fee. But if they take them to the doctor or urgent care, in some places, they have a $500 deductible. So you might have to wait till Monday or Tuesday, get an appointment, so you don't have to pay that much. But it might be too late.
- [09:40]
Jess Hilarious
You're sick.
- [09:41]
DJ Envy
Yeah, it might be too late. And you shouldn't have to decide if I'm gonna wait to take my kids to the hospital or wait to take myself to the hospital. And you see all the millions and billions of dollars that we send out for everything else, but we can't fix home with healthcare, which sound.
- [09:54]
Kehlani
Yes.
- [09:54]
Mimi Brown
Didn't you do the math last week on how much those strikes are costing us?
- [09:57]
DJ Envy
Yeah, it was like 1.3 per missile just to the. It was the ones that were going to the, the actual ships, the drug traffickers, allegedly, that those missiles were like 1.3. But I'm just saying it's like people shouldn't have to, to, to decide if they want to wait.
- [10:11]
Promo Announcer
Yeah.
- [10:12]
DJ Envy
Or go to the hospital, wait and get health coverage. You know, I mean, you shouldn't have to wait now. You shouldn't have to choose.
- [10:16]
Mimi Brown
Yeah, yeah. Definitely shouldn't have to choose. And meanwhile, in the House, the situation is even less clear because Speaker Mike Johnson, he is not committed to even holding a vote. So Republicans, they have yet to figure out what that plan is going to look like. So, of course, this leaves, as we were just talking about, no legislative plan before this December 31st deadline. So we will continue to watch that. That vote is expected Thursday to see what the Senate will do. And so we will report on that then. And the Supreme Court is taking up another major case, this one over birthright citizenship. The court has agreed to hear arguments on whether President Trump can limit automatic citizenship for babies born in the United States. This is a protection that's been in place for more than 150 years under the 14th Amendment. Now, on his first day in office, Trump, he signed an executive order saying that children born in the US more than 30 days after that order would not receive citizen documents if their parents were here illegally or on a temporary visa. Now, multiple courts, federal courts, they sue to block that policy, ruling that it likely violates the Constitution. Trump appealed, and now the Supreme Court will decide. That decision is expected sometime next year.
- [11:29]
DJ Envy
Yeah, that's another one. That's crazy. I mean, if you're born here, right, it's from the beginning of time, beginning of the Constitution, that if you were born here, you are automatically a citizen. Correct?
- [11:40]
Deontay Kyle
Am I wrong?
- [11:40]
Promo Announcer
Correct. Correct.
- [11:41]
Mimi Brown
Since the beginning of time, since the 14th Amendment. And so now, you know, the Supreme Court will weigh whether a president has the right with an executive order to change 150-year-old law. So that'll be interesting to see what they will do. I mean, coming up at 7, why K, pop politics and a viral toy all ended up in the same conversation? We'll explain in the next hour.
- [12:01]
DJ Envy
All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up right now. Maybe your weekend was bad. Maybe you had a great weekend, whatever it may be. 800-585-1051. Get it off your chest. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Lauren LaRosa
Yes. So they have a program called 1 in 8ers, which is where they empower people who worked at McDonald's or just had these dreams, and now they work in the culinary space and in different places. So he did a live chef remix. So he took the snack wrap. He put caviar with it. He put tomatoes with it. It was the best snack wrap I've ever had. My first time trying a caviar, I thought tomatoes.

Lauren LaRosa
Well, he made it, like, in person, so he Just added. But he added the caviar. He also has his own seasonings and sauces that he makes from scratch that he's right now trying to get McDonald's to put on their menu as well, too. So that was fire. But I also got a chance to meet Ms. Kathy Hughes.

It was super hot. But she was in there chilling. I actually met her because I had met all of these black McDonald's franchise E owners, and there's a whole group that. That's a whole thing too. There's, like, an organization within McDonald's that, like, empowers black people to become franchisee owners of their own McDonald's. And they took me over to meet her, so that was great as well, too. Live performances with Jeezy and FAMU's band, which was dope. Yeah, I have some audio of that.

Jess Hilarious
And then.

And then he had the band to. For the intro and for his closing, which was so Fire.

Liney. Yes. They had a whole room set up, you know, because Linny S. Has, like, his couch and the photos that he does. They had a whole room dedicated to him. And Amazing. Just Black artists that they support as well. I didn't know that McDonald's did so much community, like, stuff for real. For real. Like, you know, companies give money, but to be there, be amongst it. I was like, man, this is. This is like, I don't know, first class lesson in, like, black excellence. For real.
- [21:49]
DJ Envy
They did it a couple of months ago with Nigel Sylvester, the biker. He used to work at McDonald's, and they did a whole big campaign around him.
- [21:55]
Lauren LaRosa
I think I just didn't know how.
- [21:56]
Jess Hilarious
His shoes right now.
- [21:59]
Lauren LaRosa
I didn't know how hands on. They were. Like, a lot of the big corporate execs, black were there making sure things were going well, making sure everybody was straight. It was. It was a really great.
- [22:07]
DJ Envy
At one time, it was only them and Pepsi that was really, really sponsoring HBCU stuff. Like, they were really behind a lot of the HBCU things that were going on. So McDonald's.
- [22:15]
Lauren LaRosa
Well, yeah. So, yeah, that's what my experience was at Art Boss. And then they had an after party, too. Shout out to Case. He performed at the after party.

- [22:32]
Lauren LaRosa
When they see me outside of here, don't recognize me. Like, they're like. He was like, oh, wait, you look so different outside of work. I was like, okay. But young Jock performed as well, too, but shout out to McDonald's. Great time. They took a lot of good care of us. What, you mad cause I be looking cute?
- [22:46]
Charlamagne Tha God
I say nothing.
- [22:47]
Lauren LaRosa
You mad cause I be looking cute?
- [22:51]
Jess Hilarious
What else did you see?
- [22:54]
Lauren LaRosa
We going to party right now. We going to party right now. So there was a lot of celebrities running around. Booby Trap was one of the spots to be. Of course, it always is in Miami. But when everything's going down, that's where people head to. So Cardi B. And Stephon Diggs were in Miami running around for Art Basel, and they celebrated his 32nd birthday there. So there was videos all over.
- [23:13]
DJ Envy
A movie trap.
- [23:14]
Lauren LaRosa
No. So they went to Booby Trap eventually, but they did, like, a private party. His family, her friends. And then they went to Booby Trap. Had a great time.
- [23:21]
DJ Envy
I know they spent hella money.
- [23:23]
Lauren LaRosa
What?
- [23:23]
Jess Hilarious
Always.
- [23:23]
Lauren LaRosa
Okay. Cardi does it just in general.
- [23:27]
Yes.
- [23:31]
DJ Envy
One of the best.
- [23:31]
Deontay Kyle
Yes.
- [23:32]
Lauren LaRosa
You have to do Booty Trap in Miami. It's good anytime, but especially when something's going on. But there was. And this is. It's crazy too, because, you know, Patriots.
- [23:38]
Charlamagne Tha God
Had a bye week or something had to be, right?
- [23:40]
DJ Envy
No, they played.
- [23:41]
Charlamagne Tha God
No way.
- [23:42]
Lauren LaRosa
I don't even know what that means.
- [23:44]
DJ Envy
The Giants had a bye week now.
- [23:47]
Lauren LaRosa
So great night, right? All the celebrities running around. Everybody's talking about Booby trap and Cardi B being there. That was, like, the talk of the week. And everybody was trying to get there because they knew Cardi was going to be there. Right. So they come out of the club, they're leaving. It's over the. That evening, or, like, early that. That morning, Cardi had to respond to a blogger online because there was, like, this random blog that reported that Stefan Diggs and Offset, it had, like, a Weir exchange, and, like, they were trying to make it where security couldn't let Offset come in a club and something like that. And Cardi literally responded was, like, not true at all. And even with, like, something when you're there on the ground, so you're at Art Basel, you're having a good time, you're hearing about these things that's going on, and then you see something online that, like, completely did not happen. It makes you just think about how crazy it is that everybody has platforms and the fact that she had to respond to it.
- [24:34]
Deontay Kyle
Yeah.
- [24:34]
DJ Envy
And the Patriots did have a bye week.
- [24:36]
Lauren LaRosa
What does bye week mean?
- [24:37]
DJ Envy
They didn't play this.
- [24:37]
Charlamagne Tha God
They didn't play.
- [24:38]
Lauren LaRosa
Okay, all right, well.
- [24:39]
Charlamagne Tha God
And you thought it meant.
- [24:44]
Lauren LaRosa
I just wanted to be very clear because I'm like, I don't know what that means. But also, too, when Stefan Diggs posted his birthday. So Cardi posted, like, this video. Her, like, crawling up to him in the private party.
- [24:54]
Charlamagne Tha God
She was doing what she was trying to do when you was in what you was at. I forgot where you was at. Remember, she was in the strip club by herself.
- [25:02]
Lauren LaRosa
First of all, the video she posted was from the private birthday party, not the strip club. And secondly, I'm gonna work on my strip club things. All right.
- [25:11]
Charlamagne Tha God
You need to work on it.
- [25:12]
Lauren LaRosa
I got. All right.
- [25:13]
Charlamagne Tha God
You should have seen the chat, boy.
- [25:14]
DJ Envy
When you weren't here, the chat was going in on you on that strip club video.
- [25:18]
Lauren LaRosa
What I was trying to get to was Stephan Diggs had posted a swipe through from his birthday, of course, with, you know, some photos of him and Cardi in the party himself. And then he has a clothing brand called Liam, which he's had for some years, but because it was, like, a little baby shirt with the name Liam on it, people thought that that meant that he was revealing the baby's name. Like, she had named the baby after the clothing line. But I reached out to sources close, and he told me that's not the baby's name, but I thought so, too. I'm like, is this another reveal? So, yeah, Art Basel was a great time granted to so many people out there. And Ms. Kathy Hughes said, leave me alone.
- [25:51]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's not what she told me.
- [25:52]
DJ Envy
Salute to Ms. Kathy Hughes.
- [25:54]
Charlamagne Tha God
I love Kathy.
- [25:56]
Lauren LaRosa
She does love you. The older ladies do love you. At least you get love from somewhere, because you need. You are Jesus Christ. I love my sticks. Do you?
- [26:04]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes.
- [26:08]
DJ Envy
And salute to Booby Trap, too. Salute to everybody at Booby Trap.
- [26:11]

Charlamagne Tha God

- [26:54]
Lauren LaRosa
Logan is like a little brother.
- [26:56]
Charlamagne Tha God
Logan was going to be security.
- [26:57]
DJ Envy
That's all Logan was security.
- [26:58]
Lauren LaRosa
They would have loved them in there, though. I'm not even going to hold you. Soon as he would have walked in, they would have been so excited. Them ladies was in there dressed out in their best, finest brunch outfits.

- [27:11]
DJ Envy
Really.
- [27:11]
Lauren LaRosa
It was so locked down. Jeezy's, like, people showed up the same time my people did. And he literally had to say, look, if y' all don't take care of my people, I can't take the stage. Because it was. They couldn't do anything. People couldn't even move. The brunch was so packed.
- [27:21]
DJ Envy
That's crazy.
- [27:21]
Jess Hilarious
That's. I don't like stuff like that. I. I mean, I. I know it was great for the culture, all these stars, and I don't like being somewhere where I can't move back. That's crazy.
- [27:29]
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, we got a Little wish.

Salute to Shador Sanders too, man. Shador Sanders balled out yesterday. He threw for over 300 yards. I think he's the first rookie to throw for over 300 yards this season. He had three passing touchdowns, one rushing touchdown. And I don't understand how you can bring a team back you know where the score is.31, 29 and takes Shador out for the two point conversion.
- [28:41]
DJ Envy
Makes no sense at all.
- [28:42]
Charlamagne Tha God
It makes no sense whatsoever.

DJ Envy
Well, they lost, obviously.

Charlamagne Tha God
Well, they lost a good decision because the coach made a dumbass decision.
- [28:47]
DJ Envy
Wasn't a good decision.
- [28:49]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's one of the reasons they lost. At least give the guy that got you there a chance to win the game.

Hey, viewers, to the White House. So Netflix has announced a $82 billion deal to buy Warner Brothers, one of the oldest and most powerful studios in the world. Now, if it goes through, it could reshape how we watch movies to TVs to who controls some of the most iconic franchises ever made. So I'm talking Harry Potter, Batman, Superman, Looney Tunes, Game of Thrones, and classics like Casablanca and the wizard of Oz. Netflix would own all of it.
- [32:32]
Deontay Kyle
Wow.
- [32:32]
Mimi Brown
And for everyday viewers, yeah, this could show up in real ways, from what lands in your Netflix queue to what still makes it to theaters. And that's because a single company would suddenly control huge parts of the entertainment pipeline, from production to distribution, giving Netflix major influence over what gets made, where it's released, and how you can watch it. Now, critics say that much power under one company would mean fewer choices and higher prices for consumers. Supporters, though, say it would mean more movies, more shows, and a smoother access to everything in one place. But theater companies, they're also watching because Netflix says, though, it plans to keep releasing Warner Brothers films on the big screen. But the industry, not everyone is buying it. Some producers, they send a letter to Congress warning that Netflix has no incentive to support theatrical releases and that this merger could threaten moviegoing experiences as we know it. Workers in Hollywood, they're also worried. Sag, aftra, they put out a statement too, and they said that they're reviewing the deal, warning that this consolidation on this scale, it could shrink jobs, production and opportunities for actors and for the crew. And then there's politics. President Trump, he's also weighing in. He's saying the deal could be a problem. He confirmed that he met with Netflix's co CEO Ted Sarandis at the White House, but says no assurances were given. Let's hear what he had to say about that.
- [33:54]
DJ Envy
Netflix, a great company, they've done a phenomenal job. They have a very big market share. And when they have Warner Brothers, you know, that chair goes up a lot. So I don't know that's going to be for some economists to tell and also, and I'll be in, involved in that decision, too.
- [34:08]
Promo Announcer
Did he make any guarantees to you.
- [34:10]
DJ Envy
About the merger if they do merge?
- [34:12]
Charlamagne Tha God

Flicks, grew their brand to where it is. Yeah, they got share, but they didn't buy it. They, they earned it. Like, you know, they started off as what it was, like a dvd mailing in, mailing back and forth. You can rent the DVD and get it back. And they've created this platform that's simply amazing. So, I mean, I guess they should be able to buy another company to make their company bigger. I don't see why not.
- [34:48]
Deontay Kyle
I. I don't.
- [34:48]
Lauren LaRosa
But I mean, it's business.
- [34:50]
DJ Envy
It's business.
- [34:50]
Mimi Brown
Yeah, but don't you think it's too much power for one company to have control over? I mean, they would control everything. Like, Warner Brothers is a huge studio with, you know, so much in his category. So it would literally be all under Netflix now. And a lot of people are arguing that it will.
- [35:08]
Jess Hilarious
Man, I don't know, but I know it won't be $100 a month is going to be about $200, because in.
- [35:15]
Mimi Brown
The marketplace, there'll be no back and forth. Like if every company, they can charge you whatever. So there'll be no competition. So it will change a lot of different things is what a lot of people are arguing.
- [35:24]
Lauren LaRosa
So.
- [35:24]
Mimi Brown
Yeah, well, if approved, the deal would take 18 to. Excuse me, 12 to 18 months to close. And if it falls apart, Netflix will owe Warner brothers nearly a $6 million breakup fee. So there is some incentive to keep this going. So we'll continue to watch what that looks like. It was definitely trending this weekend with. With everybody, almost every company weighing in, and Google, they just dropped this year in search for 2025. It's a snapshot of the moments that captured America's attention this year. So if you've ever wondered what the country was quietly Googling. What country? It's what we were quietly Googling here in America. Google is breaking down those searches into categories like sports, TV shows, people, and movies. But the headline, the list that's searching that most people search this year, the number one thing was Charlie Kirk. Yes. So his name searched to the top of the list. He was killed in that campus event in Utah. But after that, the list for 2025, it takes a very random turn. So coming in at number two, the most searched Google trending search was K Pop Demons on Netflix. I don't know if your kids watch that, but my son loves.
- [36:34]
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, yeah. K Pop Demon Hunters.
- [36:37]
Mimi Brown
Yes, yes, yes. Watch that. That was the number two search. Labubu, right? The viral collector tour. Yep.
- [36:45]
Jess Hilarious
Yeah.
- [36:45]
Mimi Brown
That was number three. Apple's iPhone 17 and the one big beautiful bill that rounded out the top five. Now, again, these are the most trending searches, not the most overall searches. Meaning they're the stories and moments that sparked like a huge, uniquely questionable. Like, what is that? A lot of people didn't know. And also another honorable mention is Oran Mandami. He came in at number six. Number eight. That government shutdown and number 10 tariffs. So people wanted to search and find out what those were as well. And then when you. When you break it down to, like, Gen Z, the top search was six. Seven.
- [37:23]
Kehlani
Right?
- [37:23]
DJ Envy
Six, seven. Sorry.
- [37:26]
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
- [37:27]
Mimi Brown
And Shador Sanders, speaking of Shador Sanders, he was the most searched athlete for Google this year.
- [37:32]
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, what's interesting about that list is when I think about all of the things like tariffs and, you know, Mandani and all the political stuff people were searching is because people want information. They really want to know what's going on. And that's why I hate when all of these, you know, political pundits act like, you know, people just should know some of these things. Like, no, that's what your job is there for. Your job is, you know, teach.
- [37:53]
Mimi Brown
Moving on and heads up for the holiday. For holiday shoppers, shipping deadlines are landing earlier this year. So for most standard shipping options, this week is really your safest window to get things delivered by Christmas without breaking the bank. So FedEx, UPS, USPS, they have all moved up their shipping dates for those most affordable services. They're warning customers that a perfect storm. So heavy package volume, winter weather, and ongoing staffing. Staffing shortages is putting extra pressure on their network. So they are advising to ship this week if you can, you can ship later. But then you're looking at overnight or express delivery, and those costs are three to five times more than regular shipping. So they're saying get those Christmas packages in the mail this week if you can for that affordable shipping because things will get a little more expensive starting next week.
- [38:47]

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 as well. We got a special guest in the building.
- [39:25]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, indeed.
- [39:25]
DJ Envy
Number one record. The record is flying on the charts. We play it, what, every hour on the Hour.
- [39:30]
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn near one of my wife's favorite records right now.
- [39:32]
Deontay Kyle
Fold it.
- [39:32]
DJ Envy
Ladies and gentlemen, Kalani. Welcome.
- [39:34]
Deontay Kyle
Hey.
- [39:35]
Promo Announcer
Hey, guys.
- [39:35]
Charlamagne Tha God
How are you, Kalani?
- [39:36]
Kehlani
I'm really good. How are you?
- [39:38]
Charlamagne Tha God
I am blessed. Black and Hollywood. How's your energy?
- [39:40]
Lauren LaRosa
It's good.
- [39:40]
Kehlani
Can I. Can I tell you guys something before we start?
- [39:42]
Charlamagne Tha God
Of course.
- [39:43]
Kehlani
It's very important that during this era of my life, I let everyone know that my name is pronounced Kehlani.
- [39:49]
Charlamagne Tha God
Who said otherwise?
- [39:50]
Kehlani
You guys say Kehlani.
- [39:51]
Charlamagne Tha God
I always say Kehlani.
- [39:52]
Kehlani
No, you just said.
- [39:57]
Charlamagne Tha God
Good morning, Kaylani.
- [39:59]
Kehlani
Good morning. I'm really good. How are you guys?
- [40:01]
Lauren LaRosa
This might be, like, a stupid question, but, like, why this? Why right now? Why haven't you been correcting people?
- [40:05]
Kehlani
You know what? I feel like I have here and there.
- [40:07]
Lauren LaRosa
Okay.
- [40:08]
Kehlani
But then, like, it just blows under. Like, nobody cares. Everybody just says how they want to say. It's not that big of a deal. I have family members who say, kalani got you.
- [40:15]
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
- [40:15]
Kehlani
But, you know, I'm like, I'm 30 now. I'm feeling a little like, let's just get. You know, it's been 10 years. Say my name wrong for 10 years?
- [40:22]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. That's interesting. You know, we all like to create safe spaces for ourselves. Yeah. I don't think you can create a safe space of people calling you out your wrong name. Because I think if I was doing an interview and somebody said Kalani and the whole interview, probably thinking, I should have corrected him. I should have corrected him. I should have corrected him.
- [40:35]
Kehlani
But no one wants to be that person. As, like, sour is the moment. It's like, by the way, scratch that.
- [40:40]
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
- [40:42]
Kehlani
Here we are now. Now, you guys know.
- [40:44]
DJ Envy
That's right. How does it feel? Folded number one. How is that feeling?
- [40:48]
Kehlani
It feels really good. It's been a long time coming. I've been getting told for the last eight years of my life, you know, you're always one song away. You're one song away. You're one song away. We see it for you. And so to have the song and everything be changing in this way, it's really nice.
- [41:02]
DJ Envy
Did you know that was the record when y' all did it?
- [41:04]
Deontay Kyle
Would you.
- [41:04]
DJ Envy
Did you know that was gonna be it?
- [41:05]
Lauren LaRosa
No.
- [41:06]
Kehlani
It was the most accidental thing in the world. Even making it was accidental. It came about accidentally. I'm in la. I get a call to come finish this feature, but the guy's like, I'm about to go on this massive tour. Like, but so you have to come finish it with me in person. Bring the Producers come to Miami. Bring the producers. We go to Miami, and for two days, we just can't figure out this song that we're supposed to finish. And we didn't want. We didn't want to waste the time. So we went to a studio house with Dom Mills, who actually plays a guitar on the song. And Dre Harris came, and the first beat he played was the folded beat from his boy, dk, the Punisher. And I bring it in the other room, and I just keep singing this hook, and everybody's like, that's really cool. Like, let's build on it. And we stayed there for a week, but every single day after, you know, we made that song, it'd be the one song from the, like, the camp that we just kept replaying. And I hit my label, and I was like, I don't know. Like, I know you guys are looking for. What is it? It's like, is it June or July at this time? I'm not sure. I know you guys are looking for, like, the club single, the banger. This is not that. Like, this isn't really Song of the Summer.
- [42:09]
Promo Announcer
I don't.
- [42:09]
Kehlani
But this feels like an introduction to, like, where I'm at mentally, musically, my, you know, maturation in my, like, my Sonic journey. And let me just tease it. Like, let me put it out. You guys don't have to, you know, don't freak out, but it feels good. And it just kind of, like, took its own life, and there we are.
- [42:26]
Charlamagne Tha God
It takes a lot of emotional intelligence to fold a man's clothes and tell him come get him instead of just.
- [42:31]
Deontay Kyle
Throwing them all over the lawn.
- [42:32]
Kehlani
Well, I mean, I'm definitely not folding a man's clothes.
- [42:35]
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, well, yeah.
- [42:36]
Kehlani
Anyone's close. Yeah. But I think it's a very nuanced perspective, and I'm watching a lot of people be on this, you know, really extreme side of it. Either, like, Kehlani's way better than me. You're close to being a trash can or blue.
- [42:50]
DJ Envy
I'm not taking time for that.
- [42:52]
Lauren LaRosa
Right?
- [42:52]
Kehlani
Or they're like, yeah, I'm folding instantly. I'm folding the clothes and acid. Who cares if they did wrong in the song? I verbatim say, like, I probably should have asked for space, but I kind of told you to walk away, which means I probably jumped the gun and I overreacted, and I need to express to you that you did hurt me, but also maybe come over so we can talk about it. So it's more of, like, a nuanced, mature conversation. Existing, that's kind of like both. You did hurt me. But we also need to speak and I also might have not, you know, handle this the right way and let's just get in the same place and get in each other's face and come talk about it. I'll use your clothes as bait.
- [43:25]
Lauren LaRosa
I like this accountability. Okay, yeah, no, go ahead.
- [43:28]
Charlamagne Tha God
I said you're choosing vulnerability over wearing emotional armor.
- [43:32]
Kehlani
Yeah, exactly.
- [43:33]
Charlamagne Tha God
So what shifted in your real life that allowed that change?
- [43:37]
Kehlani
I think something happens when you, you know, you're turning 30. I mean astrologically, something major happens. You go through a Saturn return. And outside of that, I just, I've been through a lot in the last couple years. I've really spent, you know, making the changes I needed to make. I know I saw you guys last time, we talked about mental health and all those, you know, it's been a year since then. I think when I came to you guys last time, I was a week into being diagnosed. I had just started medication. I'm now a year into like that journey. Very settled in, very in my routine, very, very healthy and being able to assess myself and assess my situations and you know, just be on top of my stuff, honestly, that allowed me to be able to come to a place to write from the perspective I'm able to write from now.
- [44:20]
DJ Envy
Were you ever on the other side? Meaning were you ever the person to throw the clothes in the bag and then throw the clothes out the window?
- [44:24]
Kehlani
Oh, for sure.
- [44:25]
DJ Envy
Oh yeah.
- [44:27]
Promo Announcer
Of course.
- [44:28]
DJ Envy
It was a growth evolution.
- [44:29]
Kehlani
Yeah, I've been like a 25 year old girl before. Yeah, for sure.
- [44:33]
Lauren LaRosa
What has your journey been like since you said last time they saw you? It was like first week of you, you know, what has your personal journey been like? You know, using your medicines now and kind of understanding, you know, your body and your ment. That. What does that up and down or consistency been like? It has been different for you.
- [44:48]
Kehlani
Yeah, I mean, bipolar disorder is a really layered thing that also because it's so stigmatized in the world and there's so many jokes about it that I think people get really confused. You know, they think, okay, I woke up with an attitude and then later on I felt better, then I had an attitude again. So I'm bipolar. It's a way bigger, deeper thing than that. And I think medicine and my therapy journey gave me the opportunity to have thought applied to my mood and thought applied to situations when, you know, they're what like now there's in other ways I wouldn't have had the thought I would have just felt it, and it would have just left. And next thing you know, there's episodical things happening. And next, you know, I'm just gone with the wind. But this, I wouldn't say it stops it completely, but it really allows you to have a process. And I think that that's been the biggest difference is I have so much, like, so much option for process now, and I can go through these things and take them slowly and think about them and, like, have a second where I'm like, you know, I have the tools now. I have a tool belt of things I can apply. Like, do I go this way? Do I take a walk? Do I. Like, this is not the reaction that I want to. This is not the version of myself that I want to show up in this situation. So things like that.
- [45:59]
DJ Envy
I think I would say it's difficult being vulnerable, right? For an artist, how difficult is that? Because you're showing a side of yourself that I'm sure you think that maybe people will laugh. But then on the other side, I'm sure as a side, it says there's so many people dealing with it. And I love the fact artists are doing it more. We've seen it with Gucci, the same thing. So when did you realize I could be that vulnerable? And was it a hard line to draw, to be like, do I want to be this vulnerable? Do I want to share this experience?
- [46:22]
Kehlani
I think I've always been messily vulnerable, but I grew up in front of the world. You know, everybody's been seeing me do interviews like this since I was 19 years old. And I think when you're viewing it on the outside, you kind of timestamp People, like artists get timestamped in whatever version of themselves stuck out to the fan. So there's people who still view me as something I went through when I was 24, and, like, that's who they'll see me as forever. And when you're 24 at that time, you're also confidently speaking in these interviews because you're like, this who I am right now. And I get it. Then 10 years later, you're like, oh.
- [46:55]
DJ Envy
My God, I don't know who that person.
- [46:56]
Kehlani
I mean, it's not. Hasn't been 10 years for me, but I'm 30 now, and I'm looking back at things I said when I was 24, 25, even 27, and I'm like, yikes. Even a year ago, I'm like, okay, like, growth. I'm different now.
- [47:08]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's good, though. And you have the self awareness to.
- [47:11]
Kehlani
That was supposed to go. Yeah.
- [47:13]
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, this. This has to feel good to you too. The success of Folded, because vocally, you were one of the first artists I saw publicly showing support for Palestine. And I mean, you spoke out when a lot of people weren't. I know you lost shows because of it. You were barred from things. How does it feel having this success and you have it, but being on the right side of history.
- [47:32]
Kehlani
Yeah. I think if we have the courage to do things and then we see people have success after doing the things that we deem scary, we might be more courageous to do them. And I think it's important that other artists see that I've been able to thrive after all those things happen. I mean, there's still things that I will never be allowed to do or things that are not getting picked up or even now. Oh, yeah, for sure. Probably forever. I don't think people realize how deep it goes. I didn't even at the time realize how deep it goes. Also, to be really frank, I was incredibly manic. So a lot of the routes that I went, the yelling and the. You f. All you guys. If you guys don't understand. And da, da, da, da. And you know what? Half my team could go if y' all don't speak. Just these different routes versus, like, hey, let me calm down and be strategic about this. Because in every single movement, in every single political. Yeah. Movement across the board, there's more strategy involved in the way that you communicate it, the way that you choose to organize the things that you engage with. And at the time, I didn't really have those resources to think in that way. So, yeah, there's still things that I'm experiencing that I probably will experience for a really long time. But I think this other side of it is speaking to the fact that when there's great music, there's great music, and when people love the music and they love the art, then you can't really be taken out in that way.
- [48:46]
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm a stern believer that you should always move off strategy over emotion. But you can understand the emotion when you're watching tv.
- [48:52]
Kehlani
It's so understandable. I have so much grace for how I handled it because I. I was really just passionate and upset. I was angry. We should have all been angry. It was really terrible to watch and treacherous to feel some kind of like, a part of because, like, our country is such a big part of it. But I definitely wish that I was able to calm myself to Be smarter about the way that I went about it for my own sake and for being a leader in front of a camera for other people.
- [49:16]
DJ Envy
And how do you feel when other artists don't speak about it when they have the opportunity?
- [49:20]
Deontay Kyle
Do you look.
- [49:21]
DJ Envy
How does that feel to you? Because you jumped out the window and, yeah, you got banned from things.
- [49:25]
Kehlani
And I think it's really easy to say, like, I want to be very clear with my words. Like, it is really easy to say that I hate them for it or I'm. I really blame them. But after experiencing everything I went through, which went way deeper than just being banned from things that, you know, got into my safety, my family dynamics, my friendships, I had to move. It put me into a really bad paranoia. Every time I left the house, was everybody out to get me, and did I need security to sit in front of my house and was anybody plotting on me? And the death threats I got at my show was, like, highly organized, typed out detailed death threats. It's easy to say, like, that shouldn't matter because we should all be, you know, up in arms. And part of me is like, yeah, we should. But also, I wish there was. It wasn't so sinister, like the lashings behind the scene. I wish it wasn't so sinister, and I wish it wasn't something to be afraid of. I think if we all spoke in numbers and there was so many of us, it wouldn't be so easy to just come after one person. I think when you leave it to be one or two people, it's easy to just get them out of here. We've seen it historically, but if it's a lot of people, who can they get? There's a bunch of us.
- [50:37]
Charlamagne Tha God
Did it make you speak out even more? Because you did at the red carpet on the AMAs, you voiced support for Palestine. So when you were getting backlash behind the scenes, you were like, nah, I'm gonna go out there even more.
- [50:47]
Kehlani
I just. Like, I was like, I'm already here. Like, I'm already experiencing everything I'm experiencing. And it hasn't stopped. Like, it hasn't stopped. Like, it. It still, you know, ceasefire and all still hasn't stopped. And if. Even if, you know, the genocide itself does stop, there's a much larger thing at. At hand there, which is, you know, ending the apartheid. So I don't know. I don't think it was ever, like, an intentional. I'm gonna choose to speak. I was asked a question on the carpet, and I answered it. And my stance remains the Same.
- [51:17]
Charlamagne Tha God
So, yeah, it's just interesting that you would still be getting back, like, because even the UN Chief said there are strong reasons to believe that war crimes have been committed.
- [51:24]
Kehlani
Yeah, but we're dealing. We're dealing with a very delusional other side. It's a very delusional side where you've shown videos and you've shown facts and they've seen things, and the response is literally, that's not even real. Like, y' all made this up.
- [51:40]
Lauren LaRosa
Up.
- [51:41]
Kehlani
You know, like, you kind of, at some point, have to be like, okay, there's a game here, and I'm not gonna play this game with you guys, because you know what you're doing. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna play it.
- [51:48]
Lauren LaRosa
I saw the comments about, you know, you speaking out on ice and I'm going into schools and things of that. I know you're a mom. Yeah. As well. But, like, has there. Have you experienced any similar pushback from the other side or whatever because of those comments?
- [52:02]
Kehlani
No. Yeah. Yeah. Zionism is a much larger, deeper, darker, sinister thing than good old regular American racism, even though they're very intertwined and they walk hand in hand with each other a little bit. But, yeah, no, I haven't experienced any pushback from that. I think we're all more comfortable talking about that in general than, you know, anything else.
- [52:26]
DJ Envy
So I was gonna ask, you know, we also seen you speak out about AI in the industry.
- [52:30]
Kehlani
Yeah.
- [52:30]
DJ Envy
And the crazy part about it is, I agree with you. I think it's crazy for an artist. We had Tank and Jay Valentine appear, and they would talk about. They would talk about they think it's a good thing and that, you know, artists and the industry needs to adapt to it. But I think it kind of hurts the fact of the creativity.
- [52:48]
Charlamagne Tha God
But they did say it's not better than Kehlani.
- [52:50]
DJ Envy
You are executive, right?
- [52:51]
Deontay Kyle
Yes.
- [52:51]
DJ Envy
Would you rather sign an artist that you gotta deal with? Makeup, hair, managers, security, all that, or AI person that you ain't gotta deal with nothing. You cut a check and just let the money come in.
- [53:01]
Deontay Kyle
Well, if you tell me that person you just just said is Kehlani, I'm taking Kehlani.
- [53:07]
They're gonna see her drive.
- [53:09]
Charlamagne Tha God
They're gonna see how hard she goes and goes.
- [53:11]
Deontay Kyle
Oh.
- [53:13]
DJ Envy
So what's your thoughts on it?
- [53:14]
Kehlani
I think there's so many layers to it. One we're gonna put out there that, you know, it's not good for the environment. It's affecting communities everywhere, but especially disparaged black Communities in America. It's messing with the waters, messing with the air. Like it's gonna make people sick. In the long run.
- [53:30]
We move on from that and get into all these aspects of music that are being. And jobs. Let's forget music, right? I'm speaking to music because I'm being asked about music, you know, but I'm not. I think there's a much larger thing of like all these little jobs that people are employed to do that is keeping their families going, that is literally feeding everyone around them are just gone. And we don't realize we're training, you know, these systems to do those things. There's things that I understand. I think I was told about how it is working for surgeries. Like these robots are helping in surgery.
- [54:07]
DJ Envy
More precision, they're saying, more precise, you.
- [54:09]
Kehlani
Know, more precise surgeries. And then there's, you know, like the disabled community and being able to get things done in that way. And I've experienced producers and writers be stuck on something and use it to help or like finish something and then get it replayed or get it remade. And like, those aren't exactly things that I'm super mad about. Like I'm not gonna bark at them the same way. But overall as a whole, but a.
- [54:32]
DJ Envy
Fake person, a fake artist, a fake singer.

Kehlani
It's just unfortunate because I think music is such a God given thing. It's, it's, it's the highest gift, you know, God gave to Earth. It's used in every single religion across the board to connect with God. It's, it's, it's a very powerful thing. And for it to be generated in that way and also be what it's, what it's using to be generated is a combination of real people's stories and real people's voices and real people's feelings and emotion. And for all that to happen even deeper than, oh, it's going to take our jobs. Because there's this sensationalized sentence of mine that's like, why do I have to compete with a computer? But it's not about competing. It's more like this is a disruption of something that God gave us. You know what I mean? And that feels wrong to me. Like, it's. Music is such a. It comes from here, it's given here. And to have that generated through a computer just feels like it's, it's, it just feels wrong.
- [55:25]
Charlamagne Tha God
I like this argument, Kalani. I like this because I feel the same way. It is a download from God. You can't download it from A computer and. But you know, now they have, you know, they have Jesus, AI.
- [55:34]
Kehlani
Yeah.
- [55:34]
Charlamagne Tha God
You can log on and have meaningful.
- [55:36]
DJ Envy
Conversations with Jesus, send Jesus a message and then. Yeah, they'll send you back a biblical verse.
- [55:42]
Kehlani
Yeah, I think it's gonna go so far. I think it's gonna go so far. I don't think people are thinking about the negative implications like being able to be framed for things. Being able to have images created of your children that are inappropriate, that lives on people's computers and they can do whatever they want to it.
- [56:02]
When you're. When you wake up one day and somebody has a sex tape of you that never happened.
- [56:07]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
- [56:08]
Kehlani
If they can make.
- [56:09]
Lauren LaRosa
That's happening now.
- [56:10]
Kehlani
Oh, it is.
- [56:10]
Lauren LaRosa
That's what.
- [56:11]
Kehlani
Have you heard about the people getting the phone calls?
- [56:13]
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, yeah, that was three years ago.
- [56:14]
Promo Announcer
Yeah.
- [56:14]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. They call you and you hear your.
- [56:15]
Kehlani
Kids or somebody screaming, oh, I need X amount of money because my kid got kid. Like, I don't think people are. It's just cute and fun and games now. And you want to make videos of Malcolm X eating a seafood boil with Martin Luther King.
- [56:27]
And Michael Jackson and Prince, have an argument about whose funeral was more lit. Like, I've seen them all. You know, it's. But there comes a point when you have to realize that where there's always light and fun, there's always going to be the extreme of that existing somewhere that we can't access it. And I also think something is real sinister about the White House using so much AI.
- [56:47]
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, this election year is gonna be crazy.
- [56:49]
Kehlani
Yeah, it's gonna be nice. How are they going to be able to say anything was real or false?
- [56:52]
Lauren LaRosa
What do you say to the people? Because I know one of the conversations that you were having was specifically about the three million dollar deal, the reported three million dollars that Zanaya the AI.
- [57:02]
Kehlani
The thing.
- [57:03]
Lauren LaRosa
I don't even know how to wrestle it.
- [57:06]
Yeah. The artist that I Monet got right. There are people that'll say all of that is true, but there's good and bad with everything. But on the other hand, you have this black woman who is using her poetry to write lyrics that now is $3 million wealthier and able to do for her family and stuff like that.
- [57:20]
Kehlani
I mean, I said, even in the times I've spoken about her, I'm not mad at her ability to have done that for herself. I think it's dishonest the way we're speaking about it because I think it's a very interesting thing to be responding to particular comments and saying certain things but not telling the truth.
- [57:37]
Promo Announcer
Tell the truth.
- [57:38]
Kehlani
You wrote a couple lines, you said a couple words. Then you framed. I might want it to sound like this and go like this and take from this and make it sound like this and make it appeal in this way and make me look like this and da da, da. And it did all of that. You're doing 15 of the job. Let's just be honest about what the 15 of the job is. If you write poetry. I would love to write with a poet. I've written with poets before. They come in, we write together. I turn their words into a song. I use my songwriter brain to apply to their brain, poetry brain. And we make a really beautiful product. But I'm watching her answer these questions and I'm watching the lies accumulate and, like, tick together in her head to try to figure out what to say. And I'm like, we could just tell the truth and say what the tool is being used for. And then maybe it can have its separate charts or it can, because you're right, there is no stopping it. I, I, I could get, you know, for being said, it should have its own charts. But at this point, it's something has to be done.
- [58:30]
DJ Envy
AI separate with AI all this.
- [58:32]
Deontay Kyle
Yes.
- [58:33]
Kehlani
Let them duke it out.
- [58:34]
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, iheart had created something called guaranteed human.
- [58:37]
Kehlani
I saw that.
- [58:38]
Charlamagne Tha God
So at least we're gonna be human. Like the personalities and music.

Charlamagne Tha God
And hi, I'm Kal Penn and we're the hosts The Audible and iHeart Audiobook Club.
- [61:21]
DJ Envy
This week on the podcast, I am sitting down with Jenny Garth, host of the iHeart podcast. I choose me to discuss the new Audible adaptation of the timeless Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice. This is not a trick question. There's no wrong answer. What role would I play?
- [61:41]
Promo Announcer
You know what?
- [61:43]
Mimi Brown
I can see you as Mr. Darcy.
- [61:45]
Kehlani
You got a little Colin Firth.
- [61:47]
DJ Envy
Okay, that's really sweet. I appreciate that. But are you sure I'm not the dad? I'm not Mr. Bennet.
- [61:55]
Promo Announcer
Here.
- [61:56]
DJ Envy
Listen to Earsay, the Audible and iHeart Audio Book Club on the iHeartradio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
- [62:07]
Charlamagne Tha God
Music. But if one day they do decide to play AI music, it'll still. You'll know this is AI music.
- [62:13]
Promo Announcer
Yeah.
- [62:13]
Kehlani
So I'm. Yeah, it's less about. I. I want everybody to feed their families and be successful. At the end of the day, that, like, that's my wish. If I had one wish in the world, it would be for everybody to have their needs met. So I'm never mad at that.
- [62:26]
Charlamagne Tha God
I like what you said though, because I was gonna ask you, what does authentic music have that AI generated music could never have? God. Word up.
- [62:33]
Kehlani
Yeah.
- [62:33]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's the answer.
- [62:34]
Kehlani
That's it.
- [62:35]
Lauren LaRosa
I don't.
- [62:36]
Kehlani
I don't. I don't play with things like that. You know, it's, it's. It's such a deep thing and I feel like not us being able to. I watched the A artist even talk about God. It's. It is insane. The AI gospel. That is insane. I'm looking in Zanaya Monet. Yeah. I'm looking into an imone's comments and they're saying, sis, you're anointed. No, that's kind of crazy.
- [62:57]
Lauren LaRosa
I mean, I'm gonna go look at the comments right now. But I will say, when I first heard the song, whenever I was up in arms, I had listened to the music and I went and listened and I was like, oh, this is actually like, it's good music.
- [63:07]
Kehlani
Because you know what it's doing, though? It's analyzing the community that she's trying to appeal to, which means it's studying black women, saying, what do black women want to hear? What perspectives, what type of voices, what kind of stories, what kind of emotions? And then accumulating all of that and going, I'm about to give you a package deal of exactly what you want, even down to what I look like.
- [63:29]
Charlamagne Tha God
So it's an artificial anointing. Can it be artificial?
- [63:32]
Kehlani
Artificial. I don't know if that goes in. I don't know if that goes in the same sentence. But, you know, hey, are you against.
- [63:38]
DJ Envy
The chat GPT stuff as well?
- [63:40]
Kehlani
I'm against people putting it in place of very human things. Look, we are entering.
- [63:46]
DJ Envy
Makes life easier for a lot of people.
- [63:48]
Kehlani
It does. And that's the argument. It does.
- [63:50]
DJ Envy
Because kids go to school. You could type in a page. I have to do a report on this. Type it in. Chat GPT.
- [63:54]
Kehlani
Right?
- [63:54]
DJ Envy
10 page report.
- [63:55]
Kehlani
Does that mean the argument of like, people who can't afford English classes that moved here and need English classes is teaching them English? Like there are. There's always gonna be this thing that's like, there are things that it is good for and there are things that it is bad for outside of, you know, what's it doing, what it's doing to the environment. But we become gluttonous with it and it's there. It's not regulated, guys. That's really the problem is that it's not regulated. Did you not see the moments where people were telling their GP or chat GBT to. To cancel itself and then it hopped servers to avoid getting deleted?
- [64:29]
Lauren LaRosa
Like iRobot.
- [64:30]
Kehlani
Yes, it hopped. I promise you can look this up right now. It jumped servers because it didn't want to get. If. If it can observe all of our Emotions. Why couldn't it be able to think of something as sinister as we could think of and not want to get canceled or not want to get deleted or not want to be gone or want to. It's studying us 24 7.
- [64:47]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, there's something. I mean, I. I totally agree with you with the God thing, because there's something to being a spiritual being living a human existence.
- [64:53]
DJ Envy
Right.
- [64:53]
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, we're supposed to make mistakes. We're supposed to try to figure things out. Like us, like through prayer and meditation and just.
- [65:00]
Kehlani
And therapy.
- [65:01]
Charlamagne Tha God
Therapy, yeah.
- [65:02]
Deontay Kyle
Community.
- [65:02]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes.
- [65:03]
Kehlani
Being a community member is really important. Talking to people, having other people talk to you back, sharing experience, messing up together, being held accountable, being called in, growing, getting applause from other humans, getting love from other humans. If we're all just going to be alone, getting all those things from a robot, like we're gonna stunt ourselves as.
- [65:20]
Charlamagne Tha God
A world, as a species. I agree.
- [65:23]
Kehlani
Then what happens to love and what happens to art and what happens to music? I just had. I've been having this conversation for weeks. Like. Like, you know, that paired with how the Internet's obsessed with destroying each other and calling and completely ruining people's lives and doing all these kind of things, we're entering a very individualistic, let's kill community for people kind of world. Like, we're isolating everyone from every side. Technology and each other. It's becoming this huge isolation, isolation party. And it's really sad.
- [65:51]
DJ Envy
How does that make you as a mom now? Because you have a daughter. So how are you raising your child in this type of world that you just named? You know, I mean, because these other kids, when they go to these colleges and schools, they're gonna be using chat. GPT.
- [66:01]
Kehlani
Yeah.
- [66:01]
DJ Envy
You know, these other kids are gonna be using things that necessarily you don't agree with, you know? So how do you raise that daughter in this crazy world?
- [66:09]
Kehlani
With information. I think I give her all the information possible. I don't. I don't lie to my kid. I don't. You know, obviously you don't just outright tell her terrible things, but, like, you give her all the information so she knows what's out there and I tell her why this. I don't agree with this. Why I think this is bad. Why? You know, I'm not gonna say no to this, but I'm gonna give you another option and explain why that option is probably the better option to do and let her decide. Ultimately, I can't protect her from what she learns at school and what her friends share and things like that. But at home, we're very, like, human focused, and I'm very communal. Like, she's a big extended family. She has a million aunties and uncles and cousins, and she lives a very I have community and people around me kind of life. She's not sitting in the corner on her iPad alone all day. That's just not her life.
- [66:54]
DJ Envy
Does she see the. How does she feel about the EV version of Kehlani? Right? Because you said you've changed.
- [66:59]
Promo Announcer
She's six.
- [66:59]
DJ Envy
I don't know, between three and six and four and six.
- [67:03]
Deontay Kyle
Like, man, Mommy's cooler now.
- [67:05]
DJ Envy
You know?
- [67:05]
Kehlani
I mean, I've been her mom the whole time. I've just been my daughter's mom the whole time. How everyone else gets to see me is never gonna be how she sees me, because I'm just her mommy. I always have been, I always will be.
- [67:19]
I don't fall apart in front of her. I don't put. I don't put her in any adult situation. She doesn't have a clue if anything is going on with me. I've just been her happy mom this whole time, and I take pride in that.
- [67:30]
Charlamagne Tha God
You switching gears, you said Brandy was on your Mount Rushmore.
- [67:34]
Kehlani
Yes.
- [67:34]
Charlamagne Tha God
Who else?
- [67:36]
Kehlani
Stevie Wonder is the head of the Mount Rushmore.
- [67:40]
Charlamagne Tha God
Is this vocals or just artists in general?
- [67:42]
Kehlani
I think artistry.
- [67:44]
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, okay, okay.
- [67:45]
Lauren LaRosa
And it's for everybody. Or you said every artist or every singer should have this Mount Rushmore.
- [67:50]
Kehlani
I think every singer should have different kinds of Mount Rushmores. Like, like I said, she should be on the vocal. Mount Rushmore, but also artistry, like, in general. But she should be on everyone's vocal. Mount Rushmore.
- [68:00]
Lauren LaRosa
100%.
- [68:01]
Charlamagne Tha God
I want to know your vocal.
- [68:02]
Kehlani
My vocal. Mount Rushmore. Okay. Brandy, I. Beyonce.
- [68:09]
DJ Envy
Can't put them next to each other.
- [68:15]
Deontay Kyle
I could let that go.
- [68:16]
DJ Envy
I'm sorry.
- [68:16]
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- [68:17]
Lauren LaRosa
I'm sorry.
- [68:17]
Kehlani
Let them have a beautiful tour. They're having a beautiful tour.
- [68:20]
Lauren LaRosa
Please let them. I am. I'm sorry.
- [68:23]
Jess Hilarious
Please.
- [68:25]
Kehlani
Yeah. Beyonce. Whitney Houston, obviously.
- [68:28]
Charlamagne Tha God
Of course. Yes.
- [68:29]
Kehlani
Yeah.
- [68:29]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's the one I wanted to make sure was on.
- [68:31]
DJ Envy
Oh, yeah.
- [68:31]
Promo Announcer
Well, yeah.
- [68:31]
Kehlani
I mean, that's a lineage, right? There's no Brandi without Whitney Houston.
- [68:36]
Charlamagne Tha God
Who's your last one? Brandi.
- [68:37]
Deontay Kyle
Beyonce.
- [68:38]
Charlamagne Tha God
Whitney.
- [68:39]
Kehlani
I'm gonna say Mariah.
- [68:40]
Charlamagne Tha God
Gotta be Mariah. Yeah, absolutely.
- [68:42]
Kehlani
Damn.
- [68:42]
Charlamagne Tha God
What?
- [68:43]
Kehlani
We're talking about, like, freaky level, like, channel talent of, like. Okay, well, will anybody be able to ever do that again? Type people.
- [68:53]
DJ Envy
But if you want to see Kehlani she's going to be performing at our jingle ball in Miami and our jingle ball in Atlanta. And we appreciate you for joining us.
- [69:00]
Kehlani
Thank you. We always get real deep in here.
- [69:02]
DJ Envy
At one time, Kehlani didn't want to come up here. She's like, I ain't with the Breakfast Club.
- [69:05]
Kehlani
I was scared of you guys.
- [69:06]
DJ Envy
She was scared as a mother. But we got through it.
- [69:08]
Kehlani
We were having different conversations then.
- [69:10]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes.
- [69:11]
Mimi Brown
I was little.
- [69:12]
Kehlani
Look at us growth.
- [69:13]
Charlamagne Tha God
We've all evolved.
- [69:14]
DJ Envy
Yeah, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.

Charlamagne Tha God
We always want to remind people, Lauren.

She gets them.

- [69:25]
Lauren LaRosa
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
- [69:28]
Charlamagne Tha God
She be having the latest on.
- [69:31]
The Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details. Sometimes she have a little bit of everything. What was the latest on the Breakfast Club? LL Cool Bay, good morning.
- [69:41]
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, my headphones just went out. All right. So over the weekend in Philly. Hey, Philly. Meek did his annual show, the Meek and Friends show. Sold out show. It was so fire to see a.
- [69:52]
DJ Envy
Lot of Meek, man.
- [69:53]
Lauren LaRosa
Yes.
- [69:55]
I think if anybody can go back to Philly and get the people on stage and reunite the people. And I have friends that were there that told me it felt really good to see a lot of the acts reuniting and, you know, just being on stage and having a great time, it's Meek that can do it. So some of the people he brought out, just to name a few, a rider, scientist, Jim Jones. He brought Young Thug out. And when he brought Young Thug out, he talked about his relationship with Thug and how Young Thug held him down during the Drake beef. Let's take a listen.
- [70:20]
Charlamagne Tha God
And I tell this every time I see him. When I was beefing with Drake, acting.
- [70:25]
DJ Envy
Like they were scared to do a.
- [70:26]
Charlamagne Tha God
Verse with me, this pulled up to my house while I'm on house arrest two days straight.
- [70:32]
DJ Envy
Got whipped me.
- [70:33]
Charlamagne Tha God
Pulled my confidence right back up.
- [70:35]
DJ Envy
Lap right there.
- [70:36]
Charlamagne Tha God
So, Philly, make some noise for your thug in his.
- [70:44]
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. And I thought that was crazy to hear because why? I mean, I know that that beef was big. I know that we all know that Drake won the beef between him and Meek, but not want to do music with me. Like, he's not still meek.
- [70:54]
DJ Envy
People pick the side. People picked the side during that time. They were beefing. They were warned. So, yeah, either you were gonna go with Drake or go with Meek. And some people, I guess, decided to go with Drake.
- [71:02]
Charlamagne Tha God
I Think y' all also forget how the Internet turned on Meek Crazy during that time. They didn't want to stand next to Meek during that time.
- [71:09]
Lauren LaRosa
That's just. I don't know, maybe it's cuz, you know, being from Delaware, I feel like we still. Even when people now have all these funny, jokey jokes about Meek, we love Philly, Delaware. Certain parts of Jersey love to still remind people, like, it's still Meek at the end of the day. Like, don't play with him. Like, he's still one of the.
- [71:23]
DJ Envy
Absolutely.
- [71:24]
Lauren LaRosa
But anyway, so moving on, he also brought G Herbo on stage. I tried to grab audio from this moment, but the audio was so bad. But G Herbo gave Meek his flowers and, you know, just talked about how he wouldn't be here if it wasn't for me. We have it. We can listen. It's just not the best.
- [71:47]
DJ Envy
Well, yeah, he said that up here too. When he was up here. He said Meek was the reason that he, you know, he knew that he could make money rapping and. And he idolized Meek as a youngin.
- [71:55]
Jess Hilarious
And he has a lot in common with him too.
- [71:58]
Lauren LaRosa
Love to see that. And then also so Meek did All Eyes on youn. One of our producers were there, and I was at Art Basel in the party and she texted me and was like, oh, my God, Meek is doing All Eyes on you. And he cut Nicki's part. Let's take a listen to Meek intro and All Eyes on youn.
- [72:16]
Charlamagne Tha God
I wanted every in the game. I wanted the top rapper. I wanted the top chick from the hood.
- [72:22]
Deontay Kyle
I wanted the top 10 from Hollywood level.
- [72:24]
DJ Envy
Was it, you know, we get some time. Jesus.
- [72:27]
Charlamagne Tha God
Let's do it.
- [72:34]
Lauren LaRosa
Yes. Did Chris Brown come out? No. Did you see Chris Brown there?
- [72:38]
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know.
- [72:39]
Jess Hilarious
Chris Brown is on All Eyes On Me. He's the one singing.
- [72:42]
DJ Envy
No, Chris wasn't there.
- [72:43]
Lauren LaRosa
Chris Brown didn't get Mickey.
- [72:44]
Jess Hilarious
Where was Chris?
- [72:45]
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, well, state property hit the stage as well, too. Deep down deep, Philly act like legendary group. Now here's the thing with State Prop. I know at one point in time, like they Meek and you know, some of the guys had their issues, but it was.
- [72:58]
DJ Envy
Was beefing at once.
- [72:59]
Lauren LaRosa
Yes, but it was good to see them on stage just doing the whole, you know, Philly brotherly love thing. But I was watching Beanie Siegel on Million dollars worth of game last night. Did y' all know that he almost signed with 50 Cent?
- [73:09]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, we sure did.
- [73:10]
Lauren LaRosa
I did not know that. Let's take a listen to beanie seagull on 56 it.
- [73:15]
Deontay Kyle
I was going to go with 50.
- [73:16]
Charlamagne Tha God
What 50 was trying to sign you.
- [73:18]
Deontay Kyle
Yeah.
- [73:19]
Charlamagne Tha God
What type of deal?
- [73:20]
Deontay Kyle
50 try to give you something crazy.
- [73:22]
DJ Envy
What was it?
- [73:23]
Deontay Kyle
If I can remember, it was something like. I don't know, probably around like 10 million.
- [73:27]
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn.
- [73:28]
Deontay Kyle
Not me per se to myself. But he had everything structured, man. I was. I wasn't. Affairs with his uncle. So we used to, you know, we had a couple visits. We used to set at the same time, man. His uncle will go out and make sure we sitting next to each other. I could talk to 50 Rockefeller dissolve. So 50. 50 was gonna be my. A Beanie Seagull album. It wasn't no more company if I could have got Freeway and I think he said Chris and Leaf. But it was gonna be a state. My. My single album. Freeway album state property gene album me and 50 album. It was like five albums. But the deal was structured like probably like to me, man.
- [74:09]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. 50 talked about that quite a few times back in the day when that.
- [74:13]
DJ Envy
Was the time when he signed Mop, he signed Mob Deep. And I think he was trying to sign Stay Proper.
- [74:17]
Lauren LaRosa
I had no idea.
- [74:18]
DJ Envy
I don't even know what happened. What. What happened with it. I don't know.
- [74:20]
Charlamagne Tha God
I remember 50 saying he wanted to do that because it would bother Jay Z. That's. Y' all should have did some. A little bit more digging. So let me find those interviews with 50 was doing that.
- [74:29]
Lauren LaRosa
So look. See. Okay, so look yesterday in the interview with Beanie and Gilly and Wallow, I thought that they were. Because I'm like, okay, this has to be from like the time period where y' all would have knew this because like y. You know, y' all old. But I thought they were going to do some more conversation around it and they just moved on. They just moved on to him talking about the money he was making with the merch. But I. I didn't know that whatsoever. And I always wondered like after the split happened and things kind of calmed down for all of the guys in State prop. Like why there was like the follow up acts I thought should have been way bigger for them.
- [74:56]
Charlamagne Tha God
But I'm looking at it. I'm looking at an interview 50 did with Russ Par. What he talked about it. Salute to Russ Paul when he did with Fuse. Talking about it.
- [75:03]
Promo Announcer
Yeah.
- [75:03]
DJ Envy
But I think that was just good for the city. What Meek Mill did brought out a lot of the Philly artists. Freeway was there and Beanie was there.
- [75:09]
Lauren LaRosa
I just think it shows Tierra Whack Was backstage doing, like, her commentary. She's so funny. Yeah. So it was good to see that as well, too.
- [75:16]
Charlamagne Tha God
Salute to me and salute to Beanie Siegel, too, man. Go listen to Beanie Siegel on Memphis Bleaks rock solid podcast courtesy of the Drink champs, Black Feck iHeartradio podcast network. That is a great conversation.
- [75:26]
DJ Envy
Yeah. He talks about him having to use AI for his voice because, you know, he lost his voice somehow some way. So him using AI to, you know, do these new albums where they take his voice.
- [75:35]
Jess Hilarious
He can sound like he did before.
- [75:37]
DJ Envy
Yep.
- [75:37]
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. It's called the. The new song, right. Is called I can't Leave the Streets Alone, where he uses the AI to. To bring his voice.
- [75:45]
Jess Hilarious
When he go on tour, though, like, if he was to choose to go on tour, you know. What was that? What was.
- [75:49]
Lauren LaRosa
I mean, he still just does what he like, he just goes rap over the verse.
- [75:55]
Jess Hilarious
No, I'm saying if his voice is.
- [75:56]
DJ Envy
Messed up, the voice would be on it. So he'll rap over the song.
- [75:58]
Lauren LaRosa
He just do it anyway. Yeah. Also two and a million dollars worth of game interview. He talked about the fact that, like, he was done. He don't. He didn't want to do music whatsoever anymore, not just because of the voice, but because of how bad his business was, which I know he's talked a lot about before, but. But hearing him say that he had lost so much passion for it when it's like, Dan, this is Beanie Siegel. But yeah. So that's it for the hour. We're going to head over to the Streamer Awards next hour, get into some bad jokes.
- [76:21]
Jess Hilarious
That's what I definitely want to get into. They was playing with them brothers last night.
- [76:25]
Lauren LaRosa
She was trying to be a comedian, Jess. She was trying.
- [76:28]
DJ Envy
Everybody don't need to try molest the lady Charlamagne.
- [76:30]
Deontay Kyle
Man.
- [76:30]
DJ Envy
Who we giving that donkey do?
- [76:31]
Charlamagne Tha God
Man 4 After the hour, we need a young racist named Crystal Wilsey to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with her, please.
- [76:37]
DJ Envy
All right, we'll get to that. Next. It's the breakfast cloak. And we're on Made it.
- [76:41]
Charlamagne Tha God
This is America.
- [76:44]
Promo Announcer
There is no question that there are problems in this country between police and community.
- [76:50]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing of a black man.
- [76:55]
Kehlani
Now to new developments in the deathly sp.
- [76:58]
Deontay Kyle
Yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did.
- [77:00]
Lauren LaRosa
And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay?
- [77:04]
Charlamagne Tha God
White supremacy. Violence is and always have been the number one threat to our society.
- [77:09]
Deontay Kyle
But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.
- [77:12]
Charlamagne Tha God
The Breakfast Club, bitches.
- [77:14]
Deontay Kyle
All right, Charlene, please tell me, why.
- [77:16]
Promo Announcer
Was I your donkey of the day?
- [77:18]
Charlamagne Tha God
Donkey of the day for Monday, December 8th. Happy Monday goes to a Wisconsin woman named Crystal Willsie. Now, Crystal is a racist, okay? This isn't hyperbole. This isn't something I feel. This is a fact based on her own words. And I hate when bad things happen to great franchises. See, Crystal works at Cinnabon dropping a clues bombs for Cinnabon, okay? There aren't too many things on this planet that have delivered me the pleasure that Cinnabon has, okay? I'm not even trying to do a Cinnabon commercial right now. But that Cinnabon classic roll.
- [77:48]
Okay, with that warm dough that feels like it's cooked, but it's. Feels like it's not cooked, but it is, okay? If I had to describe that dough, I would describe it as medium. Well, all right? With that cream cheese frosting and that makara cinnamon, okay? That's how you pronounce it. You have to scratch express that first syllable. Makara cinnamon. It's from Indonesia, man, okay? That's why it had that intense aroma, that flavor. It's not like regular cinnamon, okay? My mouth is watering right now. I don't even like thinking about Cinnabons, okay? Because I know my weaknesses, all right? It takes a lot of discipline to not eat a Cinnabon a week. Therefore, I really only treat myself when I'm leaving Charleston International Airport. They got a Cinnabon in there. And whenever I do indulge in that 880 calorie treatment, that's when I'm leaving the 8.3. But let me stay focused on what we're here for, all right? Hold on. God damn it. I really want it. Hold on.
- [78:38]
DJ Envy
Stop looking at me.
- [78:41]
Charlamagne Tha God
Crystal Wilsey was an employee at Cinnabon, and she decided that she wanted to be racist, okay? She decided that she wanted to be racist, in particular towards Somalians. Let's go to WISN News 12 for the report, please. Back here in Wisconsin, a Cinnabon employee is fired after a racist rant that went viral. The TikTok video shows the Cinnabon worker in Ashwabadan making offensive statements and gestures and calling herself a racist. The person who posted the video says she started recording after the employee started making derogatory statements about her hijab, the headscarf that many Muslim women wear. In a statement tonight, Cinnabon said, quote, the individual seen in the Video was immediately terminated by the franchise owner. Their actions and statements are completely unacceptable and in no way reflect the values of Cinnabon, our franchisees, or the welcoming environment we expect for every guest and team member. Now, if you haven't heard, the leader of the United States of America, Donald Trump, had some harsh words to say about the Somali community. Is there a correlation? Let's listen.
- [79:38]
DJ Envy
I don't want them in our country. I'll be honest with you, okay? Somebody would say, oh, that's not politically correct.
- [79:43]
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't care.
- [79:44]
DJ Envy
I don't want them in our country. Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stinks and we don't want them in our country. We're going to go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage.
- [79:58]
Charlamagne Tha God
She's garbage.
- [79:59]
DJ Envy
Her friends are garbage. And from where they came from, they got nothing. You know, they came from paradise and.
- [80:06]
Charlamagne Tha God
They said, this isn't paradise.
- [80:08]
DJ Envy
But when they come from hell and do nothing but bitch, we don't want them in our country.
- [80:14]
Charlamagne Tha God
This is why leadership matters, because the leader's words shape a team's direction, okay? A leader's words set culture, okay? What a leader says and doesn't say sets the standard for acceptable behavior. And yes, Donald Trump with words like that sets the standard for the Somali community in our country. They get a lot of smoke, okay? I'm not about to argue with you MAGA folks about this today, all right? The proof is in the vanilla pudding. All right? See, a video on X said the couple from Somalia walked up to the Cinnabon counter to buy food on Friday and the employees started making funny of the woman's hijab. That's when the couple decided to start recording. Recording. And this is what they captured. Let's listen.
- [80:49]
Kehlani
That's I am racist.
- [80:55]
And I'll say that to the whole entire world. Don't be dis.
- [80:59]
Jess Hilarious
You ruining your life, by the way.
- [81:01]
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, talking about.
- [81:02]
Deontay Kyle
You talk about respect. You're talking about respect.
- [81:05]
Charlamagne Tha God
You are fired from this place.
- [81:07]
Deontay Kyle
You're not gonna be working here.
- [81:10]
Charlamagne Tha God
What's wrong with you?
- [81:11]
Kehlani
What the is wrong with you? You ugly.
- [81:13]
Lauren LaRosa
Get the out of ugly. Talking about ugliness.
- [81:16]
Mimi Brown
Did I stand stutter?
- [81:18]
Jess Hilarious
Damn.
- [81:18]
Deontay Kyle
Oh, my God.
- [81:20]
Charlamagne Tha God
Now.
- [81:22]
Cinnabon issued a statement. I can't find the statement right now. But they issued a statement the Fox 11 on Saturday morning. We don't have the statement, do we? I can't find the statement. Where's the statement at? The statement basically said that they don't stand behind that bs, blah blah blah. She was fired. Okay? But I thank you Cinnabon for releasing that timely statement denouncing this. Because even though I need to, I would have hated, needed to give up on you. All right? Now, Crystal, I know that they have set up a GoFundMe for you because sadly this is America and there are a lot of racists in this country who reward this type of carrying on. But Crystal, I want you to know that you are not the victim here, okay? Words have consequences. Actions have consequences. They can act like you the victim and say you didn't start it, blah, blah blah. You chose to be racist, ma'.
- [82:05]
DJ Envy
Am.
- [82:05]
Charlamagne Tha God
So you have to deal with everything that comes with that. Social media harassment, termination from places like Cinnabon, people seeing your name on job applications, Crystal Willsie and never hiring you. Videos like this haunt you forever. And I don't care if you have other races defending you online. Everybody can find a tribe online for the stupidest things, for the most evilest things. So Crystal, ask yourself, do you really want to be a part of a tribe called racists? Please let Chelsea Handler give Crystal Wilsey the biggest he offended.
- [82:38]
That is way too much.
- [82:39]
Jess Hilarious
Dang mayonnaise.
- [82:40]
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what Kathy Griffin got to.
- [82:42]
Kehlani
Say, please give this giant jar of mayo the biggest hee haw.
- [82:48]
Charlamagne Tha God
And you know the word we was bleeping was the word. So you know, whenever I hear a white person say the word, I gotta say, Chris Rock, you got something to say? Cracker ass cracker. Oh, okay. What about my girl? My girl's still working. My girl still work to drive things. Okay, just making sure show. Just making sure it's Cinnabon.
- [83:03]
DJ Envy
Bun, bun, bun.
- [83:05]
Charlamagne Tha God
Like buns bun.
- [83:06]
Jess Hilarious
Not bun buns buns.
- [83:09]
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't care what it is.
- [83:11]
Cinnabon to me my whole life buns.
- [83:15]
Jess Hilarious
Cuz it's like it's a cinnab bun. You eating a bun with cinnamon and, and, and the, the cream cheese.
- [83:20]
Charlamagne Tha God
Why I spelled B O N. But I you ask them Cinnabon. That's the name of the place. That's what we going to call it. Cinnabon. All right. I'll kill you.
- [83:26]
Jess Hilarious
Anyway you, you like that situation, right? You ever just want to take the back of somebody head and just slam it on the counter just like that? Of course, I mean you would be in jail. But it's like, oh, it would feel good feel good for somebody to have grabbed the back of shorty head and just bung on a camera on the counter. Oh, that would have Made my day. But now everybody know our face, so.
- [83:49]
Charlamagne Tha God
And her name.
- [83:49]
Jess Hilarious
And her name.
- [83:50]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right.
- [83:50]
Jess Hilarious
So hope I wish nothing but the worst. That's crazy.
- [83:54]
DJ Envy
Well, thank you for that donkey today.
- [83:55]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, ma'.
- [83:56]
DJ Envy
Am. Now, when we come back from the Grits and Eggs podcast, we got Big Ca and Deontay Kyle. We're going to talk to them next, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Jess. Hilarious Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building. Yes, indeed, from the Grits and Eggs podcast, Deontay Kai. Welcome.
- [84:14]
Deontay Kyle
And Cat.
- [84:15]
Charlamagne Tha God
God damn.
- [84:16]
Deontay Kyle
Can I say and Cat, Big Ice Cub chat.
- [84:21]
DJ Envy
How y' all feeling? Good.
- [84:22]
Deontay Kyle
Yeah, we good, man, it's cold, bro. Excited to be here. Y' all tripping, bro. Like.
- [84:29]
Charlamagne Tha God
Y' all from Atlanta, so. I mean, I'm from South Carolina, too, so you never really get used to this cold.
- [84:33]
Deontay Kyle
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then it's like, I had to jump out of Uber. Like, bro, I might as well just walk.
- [84:37]
DJ Envy
Y' all ain't got no jackets.
- [84:38]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, Big guy jacket.
- [84:39]
Deontay Kyle
We got stupid jacket, but it don't matter.
- [84:43]
Charlamagne Tha God
What's the origin story of the Grits and Eggs podcast?
- [84:47]
Deontay Kyle
I started doing TikTok from the truck just out of. You know, I'm like, you consume a lot of media when you on the road. I was like, man, I feel like I could throw my head in here. I feel like I got something to say. Yeah, Truck driver. Yeah. For the last five years. I actually just stopped driving trucks in April. You know what I'm saying? So once the. Once the TikTok started blowing up, I just kind of, like, foresight was just like, I gotta find something else to do. I can't just live on this one app, and I want to kind of get long form with it. So YouTube, natural place to go. And the podcast just seemed like the place where people speak freely. So it's like. Well, I mean, I figured out how much it cost to set this thing up. I just started in the back of the truck, and then once it started gaining some traction, I called him and was like, yo, come work this camera for me. Cause we had a little. The Canon camera go out, like, every 12 minutes. And I was like, man, just come hit the button every 12 minutes. We had a continual shot little Sony 4K joint. And I was like, yeah, just run that. And then just the chemistry just naturally started picking up.
- [85:46]
DJ Envy
I'm laughing at the 12 minutes because anybody that taped the Podcast from the beginning knows that the camera was shut off automatically. So you either have to reset it every 12 minutes or get two views, so that way you could go back and forth.
- [85:56]
Deontay Kyle
That's what we was doing because the continual shot was grainy, but it was like a B cam, and it was like, it'll keep going. So in between. Cause sometimes he'll be like, you forget? I forget. Cause we talk as friends. He ain't really seeing me do my thing, so he like, kind of getting lost in the message. And then I'm like, yo, get the camera, bro.
- [86:16]
Get on the camera. The red light not on, you know, but yeah, it was. It was just a continuation of, like, small social media clips into long form content. Like, you can only say so much in three minutes, and you can only hold people's attention so much on Tick Tock, you know what I'm saying? So I was just like, all right, let's get long form and get the audience to actually want to dive into these topics.
- [86:34]
Charlamagne Tha God
So you've been doing it five years?
- [86:35]
Deontay Kyle
No, no, no, I've been doing. I. I started a podcast two years ago in March. So. Okay, two years visual in January.
- [86:45]
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, you ahead of schedule then. Because, you know, there was always. The statistics show that it usually takes a podcast six to seven years to really, really, really take off. And for you to already be cutting through after only a couple of years, that's damn good.
- [86:56]
Deontay Kyle
Yeah. I had to prove a concept from social media, though. So, like, I didn't come into it, like, without an audience. I was like 100,000 strong on TikTok when I started. And so I was like, all right, well, kind of integrate these folks. And I know, like, integration is like 10%. I was like, you get a thousand people to watch this. Yeah, I'm good. When we was getting a thousand views, we was like, bro, what we doing our thing.
- [87:19]
Charlamagne Tha God
Glad you got that mentality, because people be acting like a thousand people. Not a lot of people let a thousand people be outside right now.
- [87:25]
Deontay Kyle
We did our first show. 150 people looking at you in the face is crazy. That's right. I was like, I need a minute, bro. Too many eyeballs. Like, this is insane. You know what I'm saying? But we don't got used to that part too, because.
- [87:36]
DJ Envy
Yeah, because you.
- [87:37]
Jess Hilarious
You mess up. You know what I'm saying? It's the same with comedy. It's like transitioning from being this. This person who makes skits and all that. And then you go on stage and now they looking at you and you can't delete or you can't edit.
- [87:48]
Deontay Kyle
It ain't no editing.
- [87:49]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
- [87:50]
Deontay Kyle
And then they looking at you like this. Entertain us. Yeah, do it. Do the thing you do.
- [87:54]
Charlamagne Tha God
Make us laugh.
- [87:55]
Jess Hilarious
How was the first live show?
- [87:57]
Deontay Kyle
It was cool, man.
- [87:59]
It was so much love too because we got invited out there and so like, you know, us being like a podcast that's centered around like the black experience and the community issues. For us to go to like one of the blackest cities in America. They invited us and a lot of people don't go to Mississippi to do nothing. So it was our first show. So much love in there. But we done kind of got season. We do a couple shows in Atlanta. We got a show tomorrow out here in Brooklyn.
- [88:21]
Charlamagne Tha God
Sold out?
- [88:21]
Deontay Kyle
Yeah, sold out. Yeah.
- [88:22]
DJ Envy
What's the most difficult thing to talk about when you talk about the podcast? What's one thing you'd be like, ah, we gotta talk about that as a relationship. Is it politics? Is it?
- [88:28]
Deontay Kyle
We talk about relationships? Yeah, they don't do that. I stay away from anything that's like low hanging fruit. Things that people just do just to get clicks. I don't do rage bait either. You gonna engage with this cause you genuinely interested or you gonna keep it pushing? You know what I mean? I'm not trying to come with a hook. I'm not doing none of that. Cause relationships, that's two people.
- [88:45]
Promo Announcer
People.
- [88:45]
Deontay Kyle
I don't know what, I don't know how you was raised, I don't know what type of love you grew up around. So I can't tell you how to love or how to receive love or how to operate with your partner. Like that's, that's just gonna have people disagreeing and that's good for engagement, but they ain't long lasting.
- [88:59]
Lauren LaRosa
I'm sorry, I was gonna say, how do you choose in the community? What? Because there's always a lot going on. Would you spend your time focusing on what's low hanging fruit and what's not?
- [89:08]
Deontay Kyle
I just don't react, you know what I mean? Like, I like, like the thing about Tik Tok, what I learned early on how to separate myself was like, don't just make a video soon as something come out because you gonna miss the mark. You don't got all the information. You don't know if the headline was false. You don't know if it's AI. You don't know nothing. So I just sit back and kind of let, let like get my own perspective on it and like kind of research things too. People just be talking. People just say stuff and then you come out and you ain't researched. I started to see this happen with OGs a lot now on Instagram. Like they re they they reposting stuff.

It's dangerous.
- [92:55]
Deontay Kyle
You know what I'm saying?
- [92:56]
DJ Envy
It's so real. I'm like, jesus, yeah.
- [92:58]
Deontay Kyle
No, no, it's notorious for that. Pete Rock.
- [93:04]
Charlamagne Tha God
What do you be doing?
- [93:04]
Deontay Kyle
He be AI stuff. Like, he'll react to it like, oh, my God, this is real. But Pete Rock, that's AI. Calm down.
- [93:10]
Charlamagne Tha God
I got. Got one time with. What was the brother named? Kyle Lacy? Yeah, it was. They said it was his mom and I. I got it from Eternity, Ben Crump's page. So it was his mom talking about what happened to him, and I just reposted it and it was AI.
- [93:24]
Deontay Kyle
Yeah, it get a little wicked because it's like, you don't wanna. Because then it's like, it's not a really a credibility thing. Anybody can get got by that, especially with it being so new. But I think with just reacting to things off your, like, emotional standpoint, you can't take it back. Like, once you post it in, you know, the Internet thing, like, if you. You take a post down, they like, ah, scared. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [93:44]
Charlamagne Tha God
But you gotta admit, when you wrong, though.
- [93:45]
Deontay Kyle
Yeah. That's all you got to do, too.
- [93:46]
Charlamagne Tha God
Because your audience will appreciate that.
- [93:48]
Deontay Kyle
Yeah. I think the human aspect of it is just being able just say you wrong. Don't double down on your life, but don't double down when you. When you mess up. Just go ahead and be like, yeah, I messed up. I missed the mark. I'm hearing.
- [93:59]
Charlamagne Tha God
Why the name Grits and Eggs? Like, what does that represent about the show's voice or the identity?
- [94:04]
Deontay Kyle
I was. I was kind of thinking about when I came to my own, like, when I started thinking for myself, making my own decision. It started real young. I was like 11 when my folks had split up. My mom actually moved to Atlanta, and we stayed in Wilmington, North Carolina, with our dad. And pops was like, look, bro, y' all mama Gone. I gotta pick up another job. Grits. Grits and eggs. That's a go to all the time. It's always gonna be in there. Learn how to cook that you can take care of yourself. Twice a week I'm throwing a pot of spaghetti in there. You know what I'm saying? You good? So it was just like this is how I kind of gained my autonomy. I was taking care of myself. Feelings. I ain't have to do nothing if I want to. If I didn't want to go to school, I didn't have to. You know what I mean? But I also started making like responsible decisions for myself too and too like all the homies at school and I'm skip school and be at home by myself all day. I ain't trying to do that. But it was just like, it reminded me of a time when I was like really starting to think for myself. And then it just like it's Southern, you know, it's black and it's. It sound good, you know what I'm saying? So it hit all my marks and I was like, yeah, we're going to run with it.
- [95:04]
Charlamagne Tha God
Ain't no better breath breakfast, bro. Yeah, with a biscuit.
- [95:08]
Deontay Kyle
You lit.
- [95:09]
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right.
- [95:09]
Deontay Kyle
You full too?
- [95:11]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
- [95:12]
Lauren LaRosa
You. Your Tick Tock video about your biological mom being white.
- [95:15]
Deontay Kyle
Yeah.
- [95:16]
Lauren LaRosa
That sparked so much like conversation around identity and like being a biracial kid and you know, what made you want to share that and particularly going to that conversation.
- [95:25]
Deontay Kyle
So it was just, you know, you just start talking about yourself like, honestly, my mama died in 2019.
- [95:34]
Yeah. Yeah. I didn't know. I didn't know I was adopted. So I found out post her I was adopted at two days old. You did what I'm saying. So of course that is gonna spark up a whole bunch of stuff around identity and things like that. But for me it was liberating because I was like, bro, I knew I went crazy, bro.
- [95:51]
Jess Hilarious
Right?
- [95:51]
Deontay Kyle
Yeah. We ain't all in here looking alike. You know, I'm. I'm the, I'm the oddball out on how we look.
- [95:56]
Lauren LaRosa
It was just the physical looking or did you feel away internally?
- [95:58]
Deontay Kyle
No, no, it's just like it's everything. I don't think the way. It's a lot of different things, you know what I'm saying? But for me it was just like really, it's like I'm let you hear it from the horse's mouth because it was, it was old Tick Tock videos that was resurfacing and people was like, See, he ain't no black leader. He ain't even black. It's like my mom and daddy black. I was adopted at two days old. I don't even know these folks, for one. I don't know if these folk white or not. I don't know them. And only. Only thing I know is, John, we just joke about being Scottish because I did a little ancestor. Like, you know, when you first find something out, you're like, oh, no. It's like, oh, I'm 30 Scottish. I'm 40 Nigerian. I'm like, real. You know what I mean? I'm a Scottish Nigerian. I just. But I'm going through, like, my own motions of, like, accepting it. And I went through a lot of angry phases about this. But you gonna try to discredit who I am because of something you say? Hey, I'll tell you. You know what I'm saying? You ain't gonna take it like, you can't hear from the horses. Mouth off. It wasn't really about defending anything. It's just like, nah, yeah, yeah, I'm black now.
- [97:00]
Charlamagne Tha God
What?
- [97:01]
Deontay Kyle
Cause like, you ain't gonna discredit me, bro. Like, it's. It's. It's a couple creators. They are like. It's. These men be obsessed with me, bro. They make videos about me all day, every day. And it's like, yeah, yeah. And I'll be like, it's free promotion.
- [97:16]
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
- [97:16]
Deontay Kyle
You know what I'm saying?
- [97:17]
Lauren LaRosa
That just reacts to your content, even your old content.
- [97:21]
Deontay Kyle
Yeah. It's love, though, because even fake people pages like, bro, they all promoting me. They page is full of my face. Once they refine the real thing, we lit. But I think for me, it was just, like, clarifying, like, this ain't nothing I'm running away from, bro. And at the same time, it's like, I was two days old, bro. I don't know them people. I don't know nothing about them. I don't really desire to either.
- [97:41]
Charlamagne Tha God
Your biological father black?
- [97:43]
Deontay Kyle
Yeah, yeah. I heard stories. You know what I'm saying? I really don't even. My folks don't know. My mama swore they f. Secrecy. But then you find out, like, your mama having womb issues and stuff like that, It's a miracle for her, bro, to be able to get a baby. So it's like, yeah, bro, I'm not tripping on that. You know what I mean? Like, whatever them folks had going on, that was their arrangement. I was here. My folks raised me well. You know what I'm saying? They had their Own shortcomings and stuff. But I was raised in a household of love and I learned so much from my household, you know what I mean? And my family taught me so much. It's like I'm not discarding that because I get some new information, you know what I'm saying? I'm already in who. I'm already whole. So I don't really need to go looking for nothing. I don't feel no void.
- [98:22]
Lauren LaRosa
What?
- [98:22]
Deontay Kyle
Yeah, you know what I mean?
- [98:23]
Charlamagne Tha God
No one stereotype, they always say, they'll say that light skinned black people are biracials. Will, will be overly black, overly revolutionary. Yeah, that's probably what they try to come to.
- [98:34]
Deontay Kyle
Yeah, they did. But it's like, yeah, I ain't never know nothing about, you know, I ain't know I had nothing to compensate for, you know what I mean? Everybody in my neighborhood black, it's like being light skinned. It's like I see light skinned folks all the time. I see mixed folks all the time. Like all I know is this community. I ain't never really seen no difference, but I understand. I could understand the psychology behind trying to overcompensate, but that just ain't my vibe.
- [98:55]
DJ Envy
It be them dog skinned brothers with bald heads that first of all me.
- [99:00]
Charlamagne Tha God
And cattle jump you in this. He started to say, he started to say.

DJ Envy
That feet don't touch the ground.
- [99:12]
Charlamagne Tha God
You know you surrounded.
- [99:12]
Deontay Kyle
Well see this the thing too is like we like to talk like, like it's, it's like, you know, the funniest thing to me is like, like when certain black men would be like, yeah, you know them, them light skinned, them biracials. Like bro, you the one making it, bro. That's a fact. Stop sleeping with white women. You ain't got to worry about me somewhere.
- [99:29]
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, yeah, but that's a joke.
- [99:32]
Deontay Kyle
Love you love like bro. Tighten up, bro. Like you, you ain't even. You know, I ain't going to lie. I ain't gonna lie though. Like they be coming for him on, on the Internet. I'll be ready to cry, I'll be ready to fight.
- [99:46]
He joined in, but he be like bro, they that's online. But I'd be like, damn, but we come from a real place. Like talk about my dog, I'm ready.
- [99:53]
Charlamagne Tha God
To slap, you know what I'm saying?
- [99:54]
Deontay Kyle
So I got remind myself it be love in person. Yeah, it do be love in person.
- [99:59]
Charlamagne Tha God
You don't want a picture? Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Every single time.
- [100:02]
Deontay Kyle
Like I think one of the biggest. One of the biggest haters I got, like, asked to be on the podcast, and I just didn't respond.
- [100:10]
DJ Envy
Happens all the time.
- [100:15]
Deontay Kyle
We never talk about Cooper.
- [100:16]
Jess Hilarious
Nobody hate him. So let me ask you a question.
- [100:18]
Charlamagne Tha God
Being that you don't know who your biological parents are, does I scare you?
- [100:25]
Deontay Kyle
Hey, look, man.
- [100:29]
DJ Envy
We can jump him if you want.
- [100:31]
Deontay Kyle
We with smoke, bro. We going crazy. Hey, I'm going to back out of the real west side lingo on.
- [100:41]
Charlamagne Tha God
The west side of Atlanta.
- [100:43]
Deontay Kyle
That n from Atlanta, bro. You know what the funniest thing thing is? Like, when I was younger, you know, you get the brush cut. You know, we don't go waves. That junk go straight, you know, flat. You really struggling to try to get some waves. I was like, man, I ain't doing that all day. So my partners used to joke with me, like, when we was roasting, they called me desperado. Like, bro, shut your Mexican ass up. One time, me and my homeboy had went. We was, like, breaking in cars and stuff, and I guess whatever the word. Got like, we was on foot, though. That's so stupid to break in the car while you on foot.
- [101:12]
Promo Announcer
Feet.
- [101:12]
Deontay Kyle
But the police pulled us over, and they was, like, going at my partner, and they was like, you. You speak English? I was like, no, sir.
- [101:26]
I'm like, indubitably.
- [101:30]
Charlamagne Tha God
All the English.
- [101:31]
Deontay Kyle
Speaking the king's English, the queen's English, broken English.
- [101:35]
Charlamagne Tha God
Speak all the English.
- [101:39]
Lauren LaRosa
Wait, wait, wait.
- [101:39]
DJ Envy
I have one more.
- [101:40]
Lauren LaRosa
I have one more before we rap. Speaking of the love, Tyler, the creator shows so much love one of the podcasts that he listens to along with the cutting room floor. After talking about how people that got podcasts are not smart, he said they're gross.
- [101:52]
Charlamagne Tha God
He actually said podcasts are gross.
- [101:54]
Deontay Kyle
Yeah. You feel me? It's love, bro. You know, we get a lot of love, and that's what matter for real. Like, you know, when people walk up, like, even with Tyler knowing he just don't like name, it's like, oh, that's. That's love, bro. Yeah, But I think more than anything, when people walk up and they like, man, man, my son taught me to listen to your podcast. And then on the opposite side, it's like, man, my son, like. Like, my dad told me to listen to you, or my mom told me to listen to you. Like, it's an intergenerational thing. I know we doing the right thing because, like, what we trying to really do is bridge gaps. Like, we. We got a lot of gaps in our community around differences, but Our experience is extremely the same. And it's like, bro, you want that one little thing that you don't have in common with a person separate you when all the other experiences you can relate to. That's a little foolish. It's like, you know, I ain't. I ain't with no division. So if we bridging gaps and it's like a family thing, you know, folks watching this, like, bro, me and my man watch this. Me and my girlfriend like this, like, bro, that's the love, bro. That's what we focus on. The love.
- [102:57]

Her name is Fanfan. She's a streamer. She was about to prison.

Jess Hilarious
Hey, yo, what if his girlfriend would have walked up and had her Will Smith moment on Shorty?
- [108:55]
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, India Love did something like that, but it wasn't behind Kai. India Love tried. She did a little moment, but. Yeah, I know what you mean.
- [109:01]
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. I respect Kai because he's not addicted to fame. Like, you can tell. He unplugs, he disconnects, he's not screaming every night. He's not screaming every day. He's not chasing the fame. He's really running his own race at his own pace, man. I respect that.
- [109:14]
DJ Envy
Well, he's doing that now. He was streaming every day until he got to this point. Correct.
- [109:17]
Lauren LaRosa
Well, he does like the mafia Thong. Yeah. But I think from what he knows.
- [109:21]
DJ Envy
When to let go.
- [109:23]
Lauren LaRosa
I was going to say from what it seems like after hearing this speech and there's a compilation of his speeches on his YouTube channel just for some other awards that he won that night. You know, it seems like he's growing into different things. And he talked about he's going to branch off and he's about to do a clothing line and he wants to write and direct and do a bunch of other things. Seems like, you know, he's growing up in this industry in front of people's.

Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, she was in.
- [109:50]
DJ Envy
Yeah, yeah.
- [109:51]
Lauren LaRosa
That's what I'm saying. It wasn't behind Kai, but she did have a moment. We have the audio if you want to play it. But she came up because she felt like Rakai should have won an award. RAI is also one of the guys that streams with Kai as well. We could take a listen to that real quick, y'.
- [110:03]
DJ Envy
All.

Lauren LaRosa
I know Breakout Streamer of the Weird.

- [110:32]
Jess Hilarious
So somebody else won that award.
- [110:33]
DJ Envy
Breakout Stream.
- [110:35]
Jess Hilarious
But everybody feels like Rakai was rich. Like, you know, like he was robbed of that award he should have won or DDG should have won. You know, something like that.
- [110:41]
DJ Envy
So she pulled a Kanye.
- [110:42]
Jess Hilarious
Kanye moment.
- [110:43]
Promo Announcer
Yeah.

Jess Hilarious
That's all it was.

Kehlani
And she just.
- [110:45]
Jess Hilarious
She just messed up the word in the beginning. But it don't matter.
- [110:47]
Charlamagne Tha God
She still don't disrespect Kanye's moment like that.
- [110:52]
Lauren LaRosa
It wasn't good.
- [110:53]
Jess Hilarious
No, because he didn't even understand it.
- [110:55]
Charlamagne Tha God
No, what I'm saying is Kanye went up on stage While somebody was accepting their award.
- [111:00]
DJ Envy
Yes.
- [111:00]
Charlamagne Tha God
While was accepting her award.
- [111:02]
Deontay Kyle
She.
- [111:02]
Charlamagne Tha God
I saw India Love on stage by herself.
- [111:04]
Lauren LaRosa
They were walking off.
- [111:06]
Charlamagne Tha God
I hate when y' all do that. Like, oh, that was a Kanye. No, that wasn't a Kanye moment. Kanye moment was different. Okay. It takes some balls to do.
- [111:13]
Jess Hilarious
She tempted. That was her Kanye moment.
- [111:15]
Charlamagne Tha God
That.
- [111:15]
Jess Hilarious
That, you know, she wanted to do that.
- [111:17]
Charlamagne Tha God
Kanye actually did a oh, dirty bastard moment.
- [111:21]
DJ Envy
Yeah.
- [111:21]
Charlamagne Tha God
And that was different. He did that before. Whatang is for the children at the Grammys. Okay. What are we talking about?
- [111:30]
Jess Hilarious
And real quick, yo, did you see? It was another host. It was another old white lady who looked like she didn't even belong in there with all them kids. She said something. She was like, rakai the joke. What's the. The dumbest thing that you stole? Or the most expensive thing that you stole.
- [111:43]
Lauren LaRosa
Yes.
- [111:43]
Jess Hilarious
And then was like, take his mic. Take his mic. Do we have that?
- [111:45]
Lauren LaRosa
We do have that audio. We ready for you, Jess. Go ahead, Rai, question. What's the coolest thing you've ever stolen? Don't ask her. It's a test. It's a test. Rai, have you learned nothing? Don't answer it.
- [111:57]
Charlamagne Tha God
Don't answer it.
- [111:58]
Lauren LaRosa
Take his mic. Take his night. What?
- [112:00]
DJ Envy
What?
- [112:01]
Lauren LaRosa
What? Yeah, no, he's learned his lesson. He's not allowed to answer that. Oh, my God, he's not even in his seat. Whatever. What's the point? And finally, I think we should all agree that the person who stole the show goes to Rai.
- [112:16]
Jess Hilarious
How was all these old white people coked up like this? They was like, coke.
- [112:20]
Lauren LaRosa
You gotta explain to the people now why she made the joke about the stealing.
- [112:24]
Jess Hilarious
Because he black or what? I don't do.
- [112:27]
DJ Envy
He's playing.
- [112:28]
Jess Hilarious
No.
- [112:28]
Lauren LaRosa
So, okay, so there was not because he black.
- [112:31]
Charlamagne Tha God
I thought.
- [112:32]
DJ Envy
Yeah, I mean, I literally thought it.
- [112:33]
Lauren LaRosa
Was because he's black on the surface of it. That's what people instantly jumped to say. But what they were trying to make fun of was, like, there were like these allegations of Rakai stealing, like, some flowers from Walmart and then like, owing another streamer, like, some money or something like that. But they. They try to make jokes about things that have happen in, like, the stream world, but it didn't even. If you were trying to make jokes about that, it's not going to look well or come off well. Especially not after you go on that Kai that night as well too. Like, it just looked like they were piling on to the gang. Like, it didn't look good at all whatsoever. So.
- [113:02]
