Yes.
DJ Envy
My wife had the sex talk with her yesterday.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Oh, wow. Okay.
DJ Envy
It came from a documentary. My wife was watching the documentary yesterday. My daughter's off for spring break. So she walked in the room and who's the. The gentleman that. That had sex with all those women? White actor. I can't think of his name. I think his name is Charlie.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Charlie Sheen.
DJ Envy
Charlie Sheen. It was documentary on Charlie Sheen. She was watching and she just happened to walk in and heard HIV aids.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Wow.
DJ Envy
So she wanted to know, well, how do you get HIV aids? And then I went through a long way of, well, you get it through sexually transmitted dis. Or you could get it through here. So she wanted to know what sex was because for the longest time she thought a baby came out the butt.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Oh, wow.
DJ Envy
But, you know, we had to tell her yesterday, the baby, a couple of
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
people that think that's it.
Tiny Harris
Go ahead.
DJ Envy
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she had to have the sex talk yesterday. So they had to have the gold. You know, the whole. The whole sex talk yesterday, which was uncomfortable and awkward. I let them have that conversation. But the funny thing yesterday is so now my daughter is. She's leaving the room and I'm like, all right, close the door. She goes, why, y' all gonna have sex?
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Oh, my God. Yep. See what you opened it up to?

Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)

Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I did not know that.
DJ Envy
Yeah, so uncensored. You're gonna watch that tonight at 8pm but they'll be joining us. We got front page news. Mimi is here. And today is Juvenile's birthday, period.
Lauren LaRosa
Back that ass up, hoes.
DJ Envy
What?
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I'm sorry.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right.
Lauren LaRosa
That's my song, y'.
Charlamagne Tha God
All.
DJ Envy
It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
Morning, everybody.
DJ Envy
It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Salute to the Yankees. Yesterday they played on Netflix. It's amazing to watch that game on Netflix. It's just easy to find. I don't know if they're playing on Channel two, Channel four. Netflix is nice and easy. You click it on and watch the Yankees play. So they won yesterday. 7 nothing.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
So is it commercials?
DJ Envy
No.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Oh, that's great. That's amazing. Okay, cool.
DJ Envy
All right. What's up, Mimi?
Tiny Harris
Good morning, Envy.
Mimi Brown
Good morning, Jess. How y' all doing?
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Good morning.
Mimi Brown
Good morning. So we start this morning with a government shutdown. And right now there is no deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security. And time is running out. So Congress, they are supposed to leave tomorrow for a two week break, but lawmakers, they still cannot agree. And both sides are now blaming each other. So meanwhile, TSA officers, they are still working without pay. Many are calling out sick, which means longer lines at security, more delays at more airports nationwide. And by tomorrow, tens of thousands of TSA workers are about to miss another paycheck.
DJ Envy
That's insane.
Mimi Brown
Yeah, very insane. And so here's what the fight is all about. Democrats say they will not agree to fund Homeland Security unless there are changes and reforms to ice. Republicans say they want to fund the entire department, including ice, and they do not want to split it up. Now, yesterday we talked about A proposal to fund everything except ice just to get TSA paid and get airports running back normally. But Democrats, Republicans, and the President, they could not agree on that either. And so that vote failed in the Senate. Yeah. So right now we are at a stalemate and frustration is just everywhere. Here is acting TSA director. She's testifying on Capitol Hill about what some of her TSA agents are going through.
Lauren LaRosa
Let's listen.
Mimi Brown
And if still shut down this Friday, we will have reached nearly $1 billion in missed paychecks. This level of disruption is unprecedented and unacceptable and significantly undermines the security of US Transportation systems. Many in our workforce have missed bill payments, received eviction notices, had their cars repossessed and utilities shut off, lost their childcare, defaulted on loans, damaged their credit line and drained their retirement savings. Some are sleeping in their cars, selling their blood and plasma and taking on jobs, second jobs to make ends meet. All while being expected to perform at the highest level when in uniform to protect the traveling public.
DJ Envy
That's so sad because you think about it, you work very hard to make sure that your credit is at a certain level so that if you need something, a home, a car, or even a loan to get your kids through school later on, that your credit is at a good rate.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right.
DJ Envy
But with what's going on now, if you can't pay your bills, it ain't really your fault.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
No.
DJ Envy
Because you are working.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Yeah.
DJ Envy
You are doing what you're supposed to do. It's just the government's not paying you. And like you said, people's cars are getting repossessed, people are going to have to go into foreclosure, and people's credit is going to hit the ground.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Yeah. And not a lot of people give grace. And, well, companies, you know, landlords or anything, give grace and give extensions because
DJ Envy
credit card companies don't care.
Charlamagne Tha God
They don't know people.
DJ Envy
You know.
Charlamagne Tha God
But to.
Mimi Brown
To your point, last time a lot of people were giving grace.
Tiny Harris
Right.
Mimi Brown
But this just happened. And so people are like, listen, what can I can't keep?
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
And then this is the third time. Yeah.
Mimi Brown
So they're like, I don't. I'm sorry for you. TSA says they're facing the higher, the highest wait times in history. And more than 31,000 officers have called out sick.
Charlamagne Tha God
Wow.
Mimi Brown
Since this has gone on. And this morning, there are new signs of concern in Washington over the U.S. war with Iran. And this time it's coming from Republicans. So lawmakers from both parties, they were briefed by the Pentagon behind closed doors, but when that came out, when they came out, several Republicans said they still don't understand the plan, the timeline or how much, how much this war is going to cost. And that's the issue because Congress is about to ask for, you know, 200 more billion dollars for the war effort. Some Republicans are now saying they will not approve more money until the White House clearly explains three, three things, what's the goal, how long this will last, and whether US Troops could eventually be sent into Iran. On the ground now, con woman Nancy Mace. She says that she was so frustrated that she walked out of the briefing. She later told Laura Coates on CNN she thinks Lindsey Graham needs to stay out of the Situation Room.
Lauren LaRosa
Let's listen. I Is he advising president.
Mimi Brown
He's, he brags about it. And I don't think Lindsey Graham, for all of that hubris, has thought through or war gramed the consequences of us taking Carg Island.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Has he thought through what the Houthis
Mimi Brown
are going to do? Has he thought through where Hezbollah is?
Tiny Harris
Because Hezbollah is not going to fly
Mimi Brown
on a plane from Tehran. Hezbollah is here.
Charlamagne Tha God
Has he thought of saying here?
Lauren LaRosa
I mean, you think United States is at risk?
Mimi Brown
They're here. They've crossed an open border that was open for the last four, you know, four years or so. But has Senator Graham thought through the consequences, what Iran will do to disrupt the economy?
Charlamagne Tha God
And so that's why I'm looking at
Mimi Brown
this more holistically and thinking about have we thought about the consequences?
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
They're not talking about that, that little person that Mike Tyson, Jesus Christ, that's only has. I know that. But it's a person that he's talking about, but that's not talking about the group. Oh, wow. Yeah. Okay. Okay.
Mimi Brown
So and really quick, the army, they raised the maximum enlistment age to 42. Now it was 43. And so they're easing the rules for people who also have marijuana convictions if they want to enlist, which is older.
Charlamagne Tha God
You read, you know, how old are you? 34, Eli. Oh, my God. We gotta start looking for some new producers.
Mimi Brown
We'll talk more in seventh in the 7 o' clock hour about. We have a new verdict in that social media case now in Los Angeles.
DJ Envy
So we'll get into that and see a question earlier. Yes, there was some commercials, but they said after the replay it won't be commercials. They'll pull the commercials out. But there was some commercials.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Okay.
DJ Envy
All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent phone lines Are wide open. Call us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Wake up, wake up.

Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I'm good, honey. How are you, man?
Charlamagne Tha God
I can't complain. Been better. I had to step outside the tsa. I just want to say this. I had three weddings to go to, but now I have two, because, unfortunately, one of my friends got pushed aside with her husband. However, I have my homegirl consistently saying they can't get a date. They can't get a date. And you know how you mentioned how you kind of made the approach to get your husband? So, I mean, I wish you could. If you could, speak on that, to give ladies more confidence because they think that batting their eyes and looking and smiling is all that takes to get a man. She walked up and said, oh, I like the fact that.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
No, I didn't, because I didn't know he was Mexican until he told me that on the first date, which was a week later.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. So I like the fact that you was like, hey, I saw what I want, and I did what I wanted
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
to go for it. Absolutely.
DJ Envy
Exactly.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
It's women out there that do that. You know, I don't know why women feel like they can't. You Know, like, they always have to be the ones. You know, that men have to be the ones to initiate, you know, pursuit or anything like that. But no, if you see something, you out and you want it. Don't, don't. Don't pass up on your blessing or what may be a blessing because you waiting for a. To say something to you. You know what I'm saying? Nah, just go.
Charlamagne Tha God
I know, exactly. And I know Lauren might not be there this early, but tell her that blessings. Blessings are in her favor and make sure she's getting a man. She's doing it because her time, not just because she feels like, oh, I think it's my time, because it takes two and two. Well, fourth, I guess. Charlemagne, stop trying to start World War Three. I'm not interested. Now, all I want to say. All I want to say is. All I want to say is this. You try to have Lil Wayne and T.I. battle. Don't do that in the verses. If. If you could, I guess it wouldn't be a battle, but be more of a debate. If you had. If you had brother and what's his name. I had it in my head. My bad. I told you, I'm not interested in nothing you got to say to yourself. You're not respecting my boundaries. You're not respecting my boundaries, Sir. Oh, what's. Dr. Umar. Dr. Umar.

I actually tried to download it to my phone, my laptop, yesterday, but I got distracted. They got it on. They got, like, an updated version on PlayStation Now. It's kind of corny. It ain't as funny as it used to be.

No, it wasn't me. It was the parking people. They came and got me. Like, we can't get it to go forward. And I'm like, what are you talking about? So we had to go back downstairs. It goes and drive, then it goes back to neutral.
DJ Envy
I don't know what that means.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's not working out.

All right, just breathe. Just breathe. Just one side. One side. All right, we got the latest with Laura when we come back as the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
Your talk, LL Cool Bitch.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everything.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Little brown girls look at you and
Lauren LaRosa
go, I want to be like you.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Take me through that.
Lauren LaRosa

Charlamagne Tha God
The latest with Laura Wilson on the Breakfast Club. LL Cool Bay. Talk to me, LL Cool Bay. Hope you caught your breath.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, yeah, I did. I did. And we're gonna be good. And we got me a car appointment. So we good. God is good. All right. Thank you. Running the hills is not easy. I know you've walked in them, but you ain't ran. Okay. All right, so Candy burns a real house. Formerly a Real Housewives of Atlanta, but you guys know Candy. So yesterday, it was released via documents that her divorce was. The settlement was finalized. So her and Todd Tucker, who is now her strange husband, had been going through the motions of trying to figure out what this, you know, separation looks like. They were married since 2014, so it's been a very long time. And the headline seemed so contentious. Like, we would hear things about him wanting, you know, primary custody because, you know, alleging she travels a lot and all these different things. But yesterday, Candy just wanted to make a lot of things clear. So we talked about the fact that, number one, she had come out and said that Todd did not want to seal the divorce, like the proceedings, like the documents, so everybody could see it. And I'm like, why? Yes, let's take a listen.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I couldn't understand it for a minute. The way he explained it to me was that he wanted it to be clear, like he wasn't trying to take
Lauren LaRosa
me for everything I had or something like that. You know, obviously that is the narrative. Although, you know, there were things, you
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
know, that were said as. I don't know, I don't want to say threats, but as, you know, possibilities
Lauren LaRosa
of things that could happen when they were first filing things that was never him fighting a prenup, was never a
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
conversation they had with me or never a conversation that was had with my attorney.
Lauren LaRosa
So I think overall, I guess at the end of the day, I guess
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
he just felt like he wanted it to be clear, like he didn't try
Lauren LaRosa
to make anything financially, which makes sense.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right.
DJ Envy
Because if that's what the narrative was. Right. Everybody was saying that Todd was just with it for the money and he's trying to take it for all the money. That's not the case. So unseal it so people can see exactly what I'm getting in this divorce. That makes sense.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. I wasn't mad at that answer at all because of what you just said. Now, we also talked about just how the custody is going to be set up with them, with the kids, because that was a big point of it as well, too. And yesterday it was announced that everything would be 50, 50 between the two of them. And Candy talked a bit about them coming to that decision. Let's take a listen to Candy on custody.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
We are joint custody.
Lauren LaRosa
They tried to report something else last
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
week which was not true.
Lauren LaRosa
Whenever anything is open, it leaves it to people's interpretation. And you got bloggers who really want
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
to just be the first to report a story.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
Now, what was actually reported in the filing, at the end of the day, the final thing, that is what is real.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Like all that other stuff, fake news, as they say, we are joint.
Lauren LaRosa
Everything is split evenly. Even when it comes to the financial part of it.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
We had properties together that we had to split equally, basically. It's just so we just have to end up with equal equity.
Lauren LaRosa
If I ended up with one more,
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I just had to pay the difference up. So we are still equal in what we got is just because I ended up with more on the property side, then I just paid the difference.
Lauren LaRosa
So it's not like I had to pay him.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's a shame they have to explain any of this because none of it is our business. We not receiving none of the Money, Candy getting on target?
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
No.
DJ Envy
Well, the thing is nosy, they live their life on tv, right? So Real Housewives, they live their life. People are dialed into their life, life, what they do, their movements, their kids and all that. So when they, when, when they're good, they talk about it. So when things are not.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
And I guess I'm gonna say she's going through the terms and everything, but
Lauren LaRosa
the only reason why she's doing.
Charlamagne Tha God
I need her medical records too.
Lauren LaRosa
The only, the only reason why she's doing that is because it was not sealed. So everything was out there for the public. So yesterday we were sitting here, you know, working, right? And I saw this story break at the end of the day, and people had numbers. I mean, like the, the lump sum that people were reporting was $426,000. And she cleared that up. That's just because of the difference in the properties. Then they had the spousal support details. They had what cars, literally down to the make and model, the year of what car. Yeah. And so because it's not sealed, it's out there. And because they have been so public with their lives, she just wants to control the narrative a bit more. And that's why she says she's doing her one woman show. I do, I did. I'm done. And she said that, you know, she's, she's very respectful of the relationship, but she not about to let just people out here run crazy. Last week there were reports that, like, she was gonna have to pay him 2 million doll. The custody with the kids wasn't going to be even. And, and she said she's going to call out some of those outlets in her show because she's tired of people just rushing to the Internet and wanting to, you know, skew the story however they wanted.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I understand, like, people living their life on tv, you know, like Real Housewives and, you know, those reality stars and everything. But, like, it still should be something that they're able to keep out of the public, you know?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, all of these details, it really don't matter. Like, for all the outlets who care so much about their lives, ask yourself, how does Candy and Todd splitting up their money help you pay your bills?
DJ Envy
It doesn't. It doesn't. But people died. But people dialed into their lives. How does it affect anything that they do? Just, it is what it is. Once you're on those shows and you open up your life like that, like, people are really dialed in.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I totally understand.
DJ Envy
Like, they have, they follow, have coats.
Charlamagne Tha God
So I need Todd's blood work. That's my point is there ought to be a limit to dialed in.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Yeah, they came, and they care more about the.
Lauren LaRosa
The.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
The business than the person. Like, nobody ever asks, how you doing? Are you okay?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I know divorce can be a lot. Todd, you good? I mean, how you just lost your girl, you know what I'm saying?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yo, they don't even understand the business. Everything that was just said, everything that you're trying to explain, they don't even know the hell's going on right now.
Lauren LaRosa
And that's why I asked her to explain it, because when I saw the reports, it was being reported, like, oh, she just got to pay him out real quick. But then there was no spouse support, so I'm like, that makes no sense. But the. One of the last things that I want to play here for us is, you know, they have kids. They have Kayla, who is Ty's daughter. It's their. Their kids together, but Kayla's Ty's daughter. Riley, who is Candy's daughter. And then they have Ace and Blaze, who are their younger children together. But as a family now, they have to deal with this in real life, outside of the headlines. And the younger kids are used to the mom and dad living together. Right. The older kids are having to go through this because they're on social media. Riley has her own reality show. She's on red carpets. People are asking her about it. So Candy talked to me about, you know, that conversation that they're going to have to have with their kids and how that'll go. Let's take a listen. You know, another young. But, like, have you had conversations with them yet? Or you guys have started to at all about kind of what that will look like, you know, because it will be so different for them.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Todd and I are gonna be discussing that, how we're gonna do the talk, like, you know, how to navigate next steps.
Lauren LaRosa
Basically, very beginning when things are being reported. There was the report of infidelity, right? And you have. You're two older women. That has to be, like, even more challenging than trying to figure out the conversation with the babies, because you don't have a choice. It kind of is, like, out there for them.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I don't really know what Todd's conversation was with our older daughters, but I know overall, I just tried to just say, hey, y', all, you know, we don't want y' all to feel affected
Lauren LaRosa
by what's going on with us.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
You know, that's the craziest thing, you know, because then you gotta try to rush to have the conversation with the kids before anything hit the Internet. Because everybod got Internet from the small kids to the big kids, you know?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, well, she said that. And then full interview is going to be on my YouTube channel, Lauren LaRosa TV, and on the podcast, the latest with Lauren LaRosa. But she did say in the full interview they haven't talked to the younger kids yet because they had the option not to. But the older kids, they did have to, like, immediately have a conversation because of how it exploded. But, yeah, thank you to Candy for even, you know, having a conversation, but she wanted to clear a lot up, so we. We were able to do that.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's the teachable moment in all of this? What can we learn if we. If we. You know, if we all in these people's business like this? What's the productive takeaway for me on
Lauren LaRosa
my side of it?
Charlamagne Tha God
No, just for everybody. For people listening. Nobody care about just you.
Lauren LaRosa
No. Well, I was just gonna tell you what I. What I took from it personally.
Charlamagne Tha God
What?
Lauren LaRosa
Just to be respectful of the fact that people are going through things in real life, like Candy, it was hard for her to get through this conversation.
Charlamagne Tha God
So why you had her on Zoom and put it all over the radio?
Lauren LaRosa
Because. Because. Because I've been reaching out to her through this whole time, making sure that we got things right. And she was ready to talk. She said she wanted to. So I extended the platform. And the reason why she did it was because she thanked us for not rushing to report everything we saw. When they told me, no, hold. That's not true, or whatever, I. I didn't touch it. And so she's like, look, I want to put this. The truth out there so I can move on. So we did that. We gave her the platform, but it was. Even this conversation was tough for her. It was times where we had to stop.
DJ Envy
I think the lesson is, mind your business. You don't know what's happening in people.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Divorces are crazy.
DJ Envy
But you don't. But you don't know what's true and what's not true. Who. Just mind your business. You don't know what's true. When they get a time when they want to talk about it, they will.
Charlamagne Tha God
I like that. That's broad.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
And I. I just saw my. I just saw my parents go through a divorce show, and it was one of the hardest things they both went through. Like, so I. I already know, like, even when they Trying to be tough for people and acting like it don't affect either One of them, man, they was both broken down. And I. I see that. So, yeah, definitely have some compassion. Even though we watch these people on tv, we don't know when the cameras are off, what they go through.
Lauren LaRosa
So. Yeah, well, I do. I did. Done. Which is her one one woman play is sold out. But she says to go to candy.com because she's going to add more dates and she says going to get way more into just what she's been going through this last year. Not even just the divorce. So shout out to Candy. Thanks for having a conversation.
DJ Envy
Okay. All right. Thank you for the latest.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Happy birthday, Diana Ross, y'.
Lauren LaRosa
All. She is 82.
Charlamagne Tha God
She 82. That's an icon right there.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
There we go. We got any Diana Ross in the
Charlamagne Tha God
C. Yo drop we should pull. I'm coming out up for Envy.
DJ Envy

Lauren LaRosa
We head into Atlanta and that's right.
DJ Envy
Front page news on the Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God
G. Sometimes just get so frustrated with the youngins, man, it's hard not to be a commodion. Turn the envy and say, yo, Envy, you can mix this with the Biggie joint like you ain't been doing that for 30 years.
DJ Envy
Like every DJ hasn't been doing.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
That's a sample you ain't doing just now.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, cuz, I didn't play it.
DJ Envy
We played it out the system. That wasn't a mix.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Ah.
DJ Envy
That's why I don't want none of
Charlamagne Tha God
y' all at the Jay Z show on the T. I ain't coming.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I'm all right and I'm be honest. That's what's up. You. You like Jay. Y' all was bumping Jay in Alaska in them little iglies.
DJ Envy
All right, let's get some front page news. What's up, Mimi?
Mimi Brown
Good morning, M.V. jess Charlemagne. How y' all doing this morning?
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Good morning, girl.
Mimi Brown
Good morning. So we have a verdict in that landmark social media case out of Los Angeles this morning. And it could have big implications for tech companies and kids who use these apps. So a jury found that meta and YouTube, they found that they were negligent, saying the companies designed their platforms in ways that harmed kids and teens and did not properly warn users about the danger. So the jury awarded $6 million total to the plaintiff, a 21 or 20 year old woman who says she became addicted to social media as a child and she later struggled with anxiety, depression, and body image issues. Yeah, so the lawsuit that featured. So the lawsuit argued that features like auto scrolling, the endless video feeds they were intentionally designed to keep young users on the apps longer, even if it hurt their mental health. The jury decided that Meta is responsible for 70% of the damages and YouTube is responsible for 30%. Both companies say they plan to appeal and argue that teen mental health is complicated and cannot be blamed on one app alone. So legal experts, though, so they say Snapchat and TikTok, they most likely did the right thing by settling out of court. Let's listen.
Lauren LaRosa
This is a huge win for Snapchat as well as TikTok because this verdict doesn't bind them. They've already settled for an undisclosed amount. So what will happen in the future when it comes to regulations or possibly other lawsuits coming in the future is that they will be able to say, like, look, we weren't felt liable. We weren't in the same position as Facebook and as Instagram and as YouTube. No jury has said that and said that in public. It doesn't apply to them. But we're still going to see huge differences. It's just going to be a matter of time, of when it takes place, when Congress will act, when the individual states will act, and what regulations they put in place.
Charlamagne Tha God
Have y' all ever seen the social dilemma? You should watch the social dilemma. You should read Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport. We've had Tristan Harris and Cal Newport here on the Breakfast Club. But social media is all about the attention economy. It's literally designed to maximize engagement, which leads to addiction. Yeah, but.
DJ Envy
But, you know, my thing is if you start suing for addiction. Right. Can you sue for all addiction? Because sugar is an. An addiction. Right.
Charlamagne Tha God
People have, especially the tobacco companies.
DJ Envy
That's tobacco, but not sugar. Can you sue the candy companies? I can't stop eating candy because sugar is addictive.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm sure somebody suing the candy because
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
sugar is like the number one killer, the caffeine.
DJ Envy
You know, can I. I gotta have my coffee every day. Can I sue Starbucks because I drink all that coffee?
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
You're giving ideas. Absolutely.
DJ Envy
I'm just asking. But when. When does it stop? Like, you know, I mean, because all these things are addictive.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Yeah, yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, yes, major sugar producers and companies have faced numerous lawsuits. Yes.
DJ Envy
But do people win? Because this seems like if. If this lady wins, if that appeal doesn't go through everybody, it's gonna open a Pandora's box.
Mimi Brown
Yeah, yeah.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
When they said, when everybody found out they settled with the first girl.
Tiny Harris
Yes.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
You know, of course, I already saw this coming.
Charlamagne Tha God
But I also think the difference is with social media, they're Designed to maximize and engagement. Right? So it's not about the tech. It's not just the technology. It's the business model that profits from capturing your attention.
DJ Envy
But that's the same thing with everything else. Sugar is.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
They. They.
DJ Envy
They put it out there so kids have to come back and get sugar and have to come back and get more candy and have to come back and get that fixed. Same thing with caffeine. You see people outside them Starbucks lines belong. Dunkin Donuts line belong. Because people need that fix. But.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
But they have a choice to go on. You know what I'm saying? Like, you got a choice. You don't gotta go buy Skittles and Diddles and all that. You know what I'm saying?
DJ Envy
Addictive is you don't have a choice. You so much.
Mimi Brown
What we're missing is that this was aimed at children.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right. Okay, well, social media distorts your reality. Distorts the reality of these kids on purpose.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Right.
Charlamagne Tha God
I think to keep them there, keep them addicted.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Like, we don't have to go to
Charlamagne Tha God
the store if you broke.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
You can't even go to Starbucks anyway, you know, but you can get on the Internet. It's free. And it's for kids. I mean, they talk about kids.
Charlamagne Tha God
Sore tricks.
Mimi Brown
So in our next story. So we have an update on the Nancy Guthrie story. Her daughter, Savannah Guthrie, she's speaking out as the search for her mother continues. And Savannah says her family is in what she calls agony. Let's listen.
Lauren LaRosa
Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony. We are in agony. It is unbearable.
DJ Envy
And to think of what she went through.
Lauren LaRosa
And it is unthinkable.
DJ Envy
But those thoughts demand to be thought.
Charlamagne Tha God
And I will not hide my face.
Lauren LaRosa
That she needs to come home now.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
So. So they don't have to pay for her. Remember, they was like, it was for money at first, right? They. They just like.
Mimi Brown
So you mean the ransom?
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
What's happening?
Mimi Brown
Yeah, who knows what's happening with the ransom?
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
And she tried to pay it, and then they said he would release her. Like, what? I'm so confused.
Mimi Brown
It took so many different turns. So all we know is as of right now, you know, she disappeared near her. Her Tucson, Arizona home. That was almost seven weeks ago. The family is now offering a million dollars, you know, Right. For information. The FBI is still offering a hundred thousand dollars. But all those ransom notes with TMZ was in on it. And all those things, those never went anywhere.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
So, you know, Damn. So it's just like, it ain't Even about the ransom anymore. It's like they. We just got.
Mimi Brown
We just want my mother. Yeah. And we just want to know where she is. And so the first part of will air this morning on the Today show. The second part will air tomorrow. And there is some speculation that Savannah could return to the Today show sometime next.
DJ Envy
It's still very scary because you figure, you know, I thought for sure they would have caught whoever did it by now. All these cameras and cameras and license plate readers. I figured by sure they would know, but the fact that they don't is very scary.
Charlamagne Tha God
I still think it was an inside job.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Yeah. But even with it being an inside job, it should be easy to. It should be way easier now to find out seven weeks later. I mean, how many people was actually inside and had access to our mother.
Charlamagne Tha God
Exactly. Exactly.
Mimi Brown
And with the FBI, local officials, and
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
then who got it out for Savannah? Like nobody ever. Yeah.
DJ Envy
So many questions then with all them ransom notes, were they true? Were they real? Do we know? It just died out. Like nobody really even discusses it anymore.
Mimi Brown
Yeah.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
And our family for real.
Mimi Brown
And then really quickly get ready to pay a little bit more to ship packages because the war in Iran. I'm sorry, it is now hitting the post office. The postal service says it plans to add an 8% surcharge to some shipping services starting next month. That's going to be priority, Priority Mail Express, Ground Advantage, Partial select. And you can still send a. A letter for free. Not for free, but for the. The price that it already is. But if you want us in a package, those things are going to cost more because of fuel. Those prices are skyrocketing. And since the. The agency, it pains. It pays for its own operations, not with tax dollars. It has a raised prices to cover the gas and the fuel charges. So right now we know that gas is like $4 a gallon, but for diesel, it's about $5 a gallon. And the post office says they cannot pay that. And so they are passing those costs on to you.
DJ Envy
Damn.
Mimi Brown
So. Yes. And former Venezuelan president Nick Maduro, Nicolas Maduro will be back in court today.
Charlamagne Tha God
I forgot all about him. Boy, you talking about somebody they kidnapped and threw under the jail. He was a damn.
DJ Envy
All right.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Mimi Brown
So that is your front page news. I'm Mimi Brown. Follow me, Mimi Brown, tv. And for more stories, follow the Black Information Network.
DJ Envy
All right, thank you, Mimi. Now when we come back, Tiny and Zonique will be joining us this.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)

Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Zonique.
DJ Envy
All right. Zonique will be joining us. There's a new episode of Uncensored featuring Tiny that comes out tonight at 8pm on TV One. We're gonna talk to Tiny when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lola Rose is here as well. We got some special guests in the building.

A new episode of Uncensored is out right now. And boy, oh boy. Tiny's giving it all. Boy, that was so good. But we're gonna talk about it. We have Tiny and Zonique here. Welcome, ladies.
Lauren LaRosa
Thank you.
DJ Envy

Lauren LaRosa
It's okay.
DJ Envy
I'm sorry. Z.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
It's okay.
DJ Envy
Welcome, ladies.
Lauren LaRosa
Pretty good. How you guys doing?
Charlamagne Tha God
Bless Black and Holly. Was that episode hard to do?
Tiny Harris
No, it was. Why you say that? No, it was good. It was good. My. My daughter, she interviewed me, so it was real natural, real good.
DJ Envy
Did you know everything before that or was some of those questions and answers like, wow.
Lauren LaRosa
So I pretty much know everything about her. I call her like my. My source. I ask her all about her life all the time. I'm like, baby, what was going on in the 90s? Like, what Tupac was doing, what this was going. She was around these people. So it's just like, what was going on, girl? So I felt like I definitely knew everything I was asking.
DJ Envy
I mean, there was so many things that I learned and I guess was revealed. Why was this the time to do it now?
Tiny Harris
I mean, it's been so long, I have never told my story. I mean, I still got a lot more to tell. I mean, I really need to, you know, do it like a Bunny and Clyde type movie, but, you know, with my husband. But it's so much to tell. But I got a lot of that out in the hour long show.
DJ Envy
There was so much that, you know, I didn't know. I thought I knew everything. You hear all the stories over and over and over again. And I'll just start from the Biggie situation. Right when Biggie did that verse, which was disrespect, I didn't know Biggie was pretty much chasing y' all to apologize from club to club. Like, I just want to apologize to y'.
Charlamagne Tha God
All.
Tiny Harris
Yeah, he really was. And I mean, the girls just wasn't having it. It's like Jermaine was like, hey, he's out at the show and he's laying like, no, he can't come in here. So, you know. Yeah, he was. But it was cool, you know, to get to speak to him. Before, you know, he passed.
DJ Envy
And that was the other thing.
Tiny Harris
That same night?
DJ Envy
Yeah. The night he apologized finally to Tiny. The night he finally. Tiny accepted to take his apology and go sit with him and talk to him was also the night that he passed away, which was. Which is crazy. I never knew that at all. So how was that experience? Break that down, because that was the first time y' all spoke since.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. And.
Tiny Harris
And. And when they came over and they told us, because me and Candy was the only one at the party, Ken was like, I'm not going over there. Talk to his ass. And I was like, I'm going with him. Go see what he talking about. So I went over there, you know, he was really nice, and he apologized. He told me, I'm. You know, y'.
Charlamagne Tha God
All.
Tiny Harris
Y' all are beautiful. And, you know, I'm.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I'm.
Tiny Harris
I'm ugly my damn self, you know, and I ain't had no business, you know, he was just being nice and he was talking.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Yeah.
DJ Envy
Did you curse him out?
Tiny Harris
Yes. No, not at all. I didn't. He didn't even. He didn't leave any room for me to curse him out.
Charlamagne Tha God
For real.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Did you go back over to the section and tell Candy, like, yo, he was actually cool?
Tiny Harris
Yeah, I did. And then, you know, right after that, we left, she was like, oh. She was like, cool. But after that, when he passed, when we heard, like, oh, the shooting happened, and, you know, she's like, dang, I wish. I kind of wish I would have said so. I would have went over there, you know?
Lauren LaRosa
So when he. When he was apologizing and having a conversation with you, was there any conversations about y' all working together potentially at all?
Tiny Harris
No, we didn't go that far. It didn't get that far. He just was basically telling us he loved our work, he loved our music, you know, he did give us a prop.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Cops. You know, when you.
Charlamagne Tha God
When you look at your whole journey, right, Tiny, from escape to now, what part of your story do you feel people have gotten completely wrong?
Tiny Harris
You know, I don't know. I just. I don't really know what they got because they say so much, you know what I'm saying? I really don't give a damn. So I don't really know what part of the story they. They. They feel they have or they know I ain't really keeping up with it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Do you feel, like, uncensored finally gave you the chance to, like. Like, correct the narrative about who you are could be in that some people got so many different stories Well, I
Tiny Harris
think it definitely gave me a chance to let them know who I am and give my story my truth, you know what I'm saying? For them to hear it from me instead of, I guess, you know, guessing or you know, speaking, not knowing or talking or saying what somebody else have may have said or what they think, you know what I'm saying? So they was able to get and hear it from me personally.
DJ Envy
Now with the industry being so tough on you guys early on, how did you ever want your kids to be in this industry? Because they damn near beat y' all up. They banned y' all from radio stations. Like they did so much to y' all on a come up as a new group. Like, why would you even say, you know what, my kids could be in this crazy ass industry?
Tiny Harris
I, I, I honestly they just fell into it, you know what I'm saying? I didn't, well, this one, I kind of pushed her a little bit, but I just seen her potential and I was just like, hey. And I, I, to do a girl group anyway, I kind of felt like I, I kind of know what, you know, what a girl group needs to look like, what it needs to sound like. And I just was, you know, really wanted to focus in on that. I think, well, Escape. Were we still together, we wouldn't stay together, right? Escape. It kind of broke up. So at that point I'm like, yeah, let me make my own group, you know what I'm saying? And I seen my daughter had the potential and I just like, like, why not keep it in the family? But my, the rest of the kids, they just kind of fell into it, you know, King was singing at first, you know what I'm saying? King got a little voice on him.
Charlamagne Tha God
I cannot imagine that.
Tiny Harris
When he was little, he used to be singing. I was like, and I thought he was going to be a singer. And he started rapping. I'm like, what are you doing rapping? Why are you rapping? He's like, nah, I ain't trying to, to sing. I'm like, but you can sing though. So, you know, he just, he, he wasn't trying to hear this singing stuff. I'm like, the singers get all the girls. Like, yeah, no, not for me.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I wanted to ask you about when you and Candy wrote tlc. No Scrubs, right? You guys weren't in the band. This was like, I think it's the first time y' all had this band. Why didn't y' all keep the single for yourself rather than writing it for tlc?
Tiny Harris
Ma', am, be honest. I, I, I can't. I wanted to because I felt like this is a. This is a hit record.
DJ Envy
You knew it was.
Tiny Harris
Yeah, I knew it was a hit record. And I'm like, man, this is our. This gonna be our break, you know? And then we just had to put all that to the side and really realize tlc, though, like, this would be our first big record on a placement on another group. Somebody that's really big.
Charlamagne Tha God
Big.
Tiny Harris
And they have a big machine that's really supporters that's pushing them. So we just went on and, you know, the producers looking at us like, man, what. What y' all trying to do? Like, Shakespeare. Like, man, please. So we like, yeah, all right. Go ahead. Give it to him.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Yeah.
DJ Envy
You still get paid off that record. These are super visuals.
Tiny Harris
I'm still living eating up that record. That record has transpired from. It has went from Sharon and so many other different big artists have used. Even what's my girl? The rapper girl, she used and. And what's this? I can't. I'm
Charlamagne Tha God
1900.
Tiny Harris
She big, too. She. She used it. We got paid off that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Are the checks still chunky, though, like,
Tiny Harris
and the chicks are still nice. And they get bigger. They get. They go down, and then they get bigger. You know what I'm saying? Because TLC gonna go until they gonna get even bigger.
DJ Envy
Is it true that y' all get all royalties from no pigeons because they took it without getting cleared?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yep.
Tiny Harris
We gave no pigeons, too.
DJ Envy
So that was the number one record. And I heard that y' all took a hundred percent of the royalties, publishing, and everything in that record.
Tiny Harris
Yeah, we did. I. I think we did. I. I think we did. I know we're getting paid off of.
DJ Envy
All right, we have more with Tiny and Zonique when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Lauren LaRosa
We recently saw you talk about Damani being, you know, edgy King. We saw their responses with the whole 50 Cent situation, and I heard TI say how he didn't like to see them do that. How did you feel when you saw Damani and King hopping online to defend you with 50 Cent?
Tiny Harris
You know, I felt that, you know, it was, you know, proud moment that they want to speak up for their mom, but. And. And I felt like the songs was really good, especially the money. When he went in with the Ms. Jackson, I was like, dang, what did this come from? Amazing. So, But King, you know, my son and he. He's very. He took it very personal, and he Just was, like, going so far. And I kept calling king, take this down. Take this down right now. He was like, like, nah, I can't, mama. I'm like, what? And I just couldn't get him to listen to me. Like, he's like, nah. I mean, I was like, listen, this child ain't had nothing to do with nothing.
Charlamagne Tha God
He.
Tiny Harris
He said, and you didn't have nothing to do with nothing? So I was like, okay, you know, Then I see something else. Can you please take the video down with the shirt on? He's like, nah, I can't. So I couldn't get him to. He wouldn't listen. But I was texting him, calling him. He was like, yeah, no, you. You know, I got this, Mom. You're just gonna have to stay down because, you know, you were. You were not. You should not have been dragged in this.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
You should not.
Tiny Harris
He was like, you know, I could have said. I could have said something about, you know, I. I know he loves his grandmama, but he didn't talk about my grandma, so I didn't talk about his grandma. So, you know, I was like, okay, I can't. I can't control this kid.
Charlamagne Tha God
When you are dragged into those things, how did that personally make you feel?
Tiny Harris
And I really didn't give a damn. You know what I'm saying? I'm just like, I. I had already told my assistant, I said, he's gonna bring me in this. I already knew it was coming, you know, but. And it came. So I was expecting it. Nobody else, I don't think was expecting it. So.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, and.
Lauren LaRosa
And feeling like that, do you feel like 50 Cent went too far, or do you. Is it like.
Tiny Harris
I mean, I feel like you should have kept the beef with the man you was dealing with. You know what I'm saying? Why is you bringing his woman into it? Because you are dealing with a man. You a man. You're dealing with the man. Deal with the man. You ain't got nothing to do with me. I ain't got nothing to do with this. Like, who goes after the woman? That's crazy. Regardless of whatever you thought. Oh, it's crazy. You should be dealing with the man. This. Y' all beef, right? Okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
How does that feel for you when you see people coming at. At your mother?
Lauren LaRosa
You know what?
Charlamagne Tha God
Just in general, though, not.
Lauren LaRosa
And. Oh, in general. No, I mean, in general, it definitely makes me feel away a lot of times because I'm, like, chronically online. Like, I'm on there a lot, but, like, I've had Times where I've spoken out and a lot of times I regret it. I'm just like, I can't beat the whole Internet. Like, so I'm just like. I comment, you know, here and there.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm definitely gonna hit him with a
Lauren LaRosa
little comment and say like, if you see. You'll see me in the comments. But I don't say much. You know, I step back from like speaking out every time. Cause I just feel like people like, have just love to attack my mom. I don't know what that's about, but it happens so much. And it's like I'd rather just kind of stay out of it and just try not to feel no way. Cause she don't ever feel no way.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, yeah.
DJ Envy
I was gonna ask. Cause you've been attacked since the group first came out.
Tiny Harris
Yeah.
DJ Envy
So how do you deal with that from then? Or is it one of those things that just like y. It is what it is. How do you not get it personal with it?
Tiny Harris
I just, I. I just don't. I mean, sometimes, like, I used to get on there and I say little stuff, you know, if I felt like, you know, they were just totally off with it, you know, saying I may say whatever, whatever. And then I got to the point, like, why am I talking? Like, why am I saying something like. Because I really don't give a damn. You know what I'm saying? And I just go through the comments sometimes. Every now and then, like when I see stuff about my kids, I might feel a. Feel away. And I be wanting to take typing. I'll be typing stuff. And they were like, don't say nothing. I'm like, what they saying? So said my king. And you know, I just.
Lauren LaRosa
She type paragraphs.
Tiny Harris
I will. Then I have to erase it. Or I just say, I'm just not going to put it up. Because what doesn't. You know, why does it matter? You know, you give the people with the. That knows the less, you know, why would I give them the most, you know, I'm saying, most attention or when I know they don't really know, you
DJ Envy
know what I'm saying Now also, you know, during the doc, well, the. The episode, you talk about how you were the. The recognizable person of Escape at first, and you were the one that couldn't go to the mall and you were the one that couldn't go out. Was there any jealousy back then about that because you were.
Tiny Harris
I don't think so. I don't think so. Like Candy. She loved the fact that she could go Places, and nobody know her. She loved that. And then, because she was like, I'm. I'm stop going places with you, because now they know who I am. She liked moving around, and nobody know her and nobody. And, you know, Tasha was very recognizable as well, so I don't think it was any jealousy with that or not with that part.
Charlamagne Tha God
Still don't speak, right?
Tiny Harris
Well, no, we don't speak. I still got a little patasha, but we don't speak because I am. You know, I'm over here. You know what I'm saying? So I just try to keep it clean.
DJ Envy
So on tour, y' all don't speak of nothing when y' all go out?
Tiny Harris
Well, she's not on tour. You know, she's not with the group right now. She's not with the group. So we just. You know, I just. We parted ways, and I just. I don't want to go back and forth. I don't want to be. You know, I'm saying this is missing.
Charlamagne Tha God
Can it be reconciled, maybe?
Tiny Harris
Never say never.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Earlier in the Xscape days, right, I noticed you talked about, like, how the sisters were. Latasha and Tamika. They were very in sync. Like, couldn't make a decision individually. They were always doing things together. Did you ever feel like it was, like, a strain on that? Like, two against two or. Yes, it was definitely.
Tiny Harris
It was always. It was a headache. I ain't gonna lie, you know, because whether they were wrong or right to meet and not most of the time, it was like, just Tamika going, she may know that it's not the right thing, but she's just like, oh, that's my sister. So, yeah, I'm going over here.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Tiny Harris
And like, yeah, you know, like, it was the time when we had decided. Tasha was like, I'm going solo. And we had Cat with Tamika and was like, hey, we just gonna go on without her. We're gonna go to Jermaine, and we gonna tell Jermaine this. What we doing? You know what I'm saying? So. So we get to the meeting. Tasha's there. First of all, when she. When they got there, me and Candy knew we was in trouble because they came in there with the same hair. They had black hair with a streak of gray in their hair in different ways, but they had the same hair. I said, oh, hell, here. We got in that meeting, and we like, yeah, we telling Jermaine. Yeah. So we. We. We trying to go. She going solo. We trying to do the group with, you know, just the three so he like, yeah, yeah, I think y' all can do that. And Tamika was like, well, I don't think we can do it without her. And.
Lauren LaRosa
And we're like looking at her like, what.
Tiny Harris
How did this happen? You know what I'm saying? We were just, you know, she was like, yeah, I think we should wait on my sister and blase, blase. And we like, to. Mika, we just had this conversation. We had this whole meeting set up and you gonna come in here and say you don't think we can go on without her? We were so just devastated, like, disgusted. Like, how did she just flip on us? But, you know, she got with her sister and, you know, they talked her into, no, you, you know, just wait on your sister. It's your sister. You know what I'm saying? And that's what she did.
Charlamagne Tha God
So how'd y' all kick her out this time?
Tiny Harris
Well, we didn't kick her out. Let's do. Just, let's, you know, clear that up. We just separated. We parted ways because we couldn't, I guess, the business wise, we could not work with, you know, how she wanted to work. She has her fiance, her husband, who basically does all her work. And, you know, the other girls and I didn't want to work with them because of past things that did not go well and were not, not up to par. So, you know, we had came up with, hey, we gotta keep him out the business and we can get a new management. But that still didn't work, you know what I'm saying? We tried that and he, you know, it was still. The management took to him. He like, like I said, he has to give the gap, like, you know what I'm saying? He's a cool dude. So they took to him. They were talking to him a lot. And even though they were the face they were telling us, we knew, knew what was behind that, you know what I'm saying? So it was just like, it's just not working. And, you know, in order to. For us, we just gotta move on without you, you know what I'm saying? And it took, you know, it was a. It was a hard decision, but we had to make it.
Lauren LaRosa
Where's Tasha and Tamika's relationship now? Like, I know they were trying to rekindle a little bit or like, where did they leave off with that?
Tiny Harris
I mean, I. I don't really want to speak on where their relationship is because I don't really know. I don't, I don't. I mean, I talked to Tamika all the time. And I don't. She never really speaks about, you know, oh, she was with her sister or they was talking, like. So I don't know if it is much of a relationship. I don't know, you know, but possibly could be.
Charlamagne Tha God
You said something earlier I thought was dope. You said you got a lot more of your story to tell, so you have to do, like, a Bonnie and Clyde type thing with tip. And it's funny, right? Because I love that because it shows how y' all move as a unit. Always ways.
Tiny Harris
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Is it even possible to tell your story without tip because you got a lot of your own accomplishments.
Tiny Harris
Yeah, I think it is possible to tell, but I don't know. Maybe not. Maybe not. Yeah, maybe not. Because, you know, he's a very big, intricate part of my story, so probably not.
Lauren LaRosa
There was another part in the. In the documentary, too, talking about, like, the babies in the family where you talked about Jermaine Dupree telling you that you shouldn't have your baby when you were pregnant and you decided that was her.
DJ Envy
When I watched it, when I seen
Tiny Harris
that one here, I mean, you know, and I. I guess I think in the music industry, he was just being, you know, the. The producer and the. The guy, the hit, the elite, the head over what, you know, is. Back in the day, it was kind of like, it was taboo. Like, you know, you have a baby, your career is over. You know what I'm saying?
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
And.
Tiny Harris
And, you know, in his defense, we hadn't. We hadn't even started yet. We had make. Created this album, and then, you know, we hadn't put anything out. So it's like, oh, you can't have no baby now. We'd rather put an album out. You know what I'm saying? And I. And I didn't have the girls. Was like, yeah, well, that's what he said, you know, and that. So I didn't really have much of a fight there.
DJ Envy
I was like, then when your band members have one right after and she had the baby.
Tiny Harris
She did.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
She did.
Tiny Harris
She had one right after. And I promise you, I was, like, trying to get pregnant daily. And I'm like, I'm having me a baby.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
And.
Tiny Harris
And then right after that, I got a little bit after that, I did get pregnant.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
That was not a mistake
Tiny Harris
in disguise, because if I would have had that baby, I wouldn't have had this baby baby. So, you know. Yeah.
DJ Envy
Did you ever have a conversation with JD about that? Like, did it hurt you? Did it bother you?
Tiny Harris
No, I'MMA be honest, I didn't. I mean, I wanted that baby, but it didn't hurt me so much because I was young and I didn't really understand as much. And I did make a. A healthy career. And then I had. And then I went and had a baby.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Tiny Harris
You know, so I. I was able to get both. You know what I'm saying? I was able to have a career that took me and, you know, basically made my dreams come true. And then I had my first child.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, Jermaine was trying to do a movie about escape without y'. All.
DJ Envy
Right.
Tiny Harris
Unfortunately, yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
I feel like that would have been a tougher conversation.
Tiny Harris
And, you know, I don't know if we had much of a company. We did bit like a little bit. He's like, well, I just want to tell the story. Cause y' all went. I never thought y' all were gonna get back together. And y' all went acting like, you know, it's just true. You know, we wasn't. We wasn't trying to get on the same page. And at the time, Candy was totally against talking to Tamika Scott, you know, for whatever. Sorry. For whatever reason. Tamika. Sky Hair had said some stuff on the radio, and she was like, nah, I'm never talking to her again. And so when this. When we found out about that, I initially called Candy, and we. It's like, okay, how do we do this? And I'm like, I gotta get. I gotta call Tamika. Not. She was like, well, I'm not talking to Tomika. To me, you don't apologize to me. And she gotta apologize on. She's the same way. She talked about on the radio. She gotta apologize on the radio.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yep.
Tiny Harris
I called to me good. And to me was like, yeah, I don't mind at all. You know, I apologize. I was wrong. So it went. It went well. You know, and we. Me and Tamika, me and Candy called Kathy Hughes and we talked to her about. Talk to her about working, you know, the project. And we went to D.C. we met with her, and she was like, you know, we've already spent about. About two hundred and something thousand dollars on this project. And we was like, yo, well, we want to tell our own story. Like, we. We are leaving a legacy for our children. You know, we don't want somebody else to be able to tell our story, and we have nothing to do with it. She was like, yeah, I, I, I, I. I'm okay with that. I'm. I'm gonna get rid of this show.
Charlamagne Tha God
Ain't number Wardrobe.
Tiny Harris
Well, she was just saying they had already started. Like, you know, it wasn't completed, but she was just saying, like, we've already spent this kind of money on that because they were in process. It was in the process of telling this story.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Zanique, at any moment, right when you were interviewing your mom and she was giving you some of the answers and details, would you ever, like, ma, look, I don't put this in here. We're not gonna put this in. The world ain't ready for this. Just leave some stuff. Stuff for the family. Just for me and you to know.
Lauren LaRosa
Like, I feel like she. We definitely talked about a lot of things, so I think I was worried because I'm getting her to just spill.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Just spill.
Lauren LaRosa
So I was a little worried, like, oh, how are they going to edit this? Because I'm like, at this point, we. Me and my mom just having a conversation, and, like, the cameras are up
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
and, you know, so. But I'm trying to think out of
Tiny Harris
all I was saying.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. Like, you were very candid. I am surprised how much you told.
Tiny Harris
I was. And it was like, man, this is so good. Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
And it was like, she wasn't stopped. Like, she was telling the whole story. She's spending 20 minutes on one question. I'm like, girl, you got, like, you can stop a little, like, when you're ready, but I don't know.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I won't.
Lauren LaRosa
I can't say there was anything.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I was just like, oh, that need
Lauren LaRosa
to be taken out. I was a little nervous.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Like, we was talking about my dad.
Lauren LaRosa
Like, what was we talking about? But it's your childhood.
Tiny Harris
Yeah, I spoke about her dad.
Charlamagne Tha God
That.
Tiny Harris
Okay. They put.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Oh, they didn't.
Tiny Harris
Yeah, they said a little bit. I don't think it was much, but, you know, I. I spoke. I did speak about my childhood, everything.
DJ Envy
I mean, so was her dad the one that your parents went to the project to go see?
Tiny Harris
Yeah.
DJ Envy
Oh, yeah. Yeah. They left that part of it. Yeah, they left that part of it.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
That's him. That's him.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm like, she's a married woman.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
She's a married woman now.
Lauren LaRosa
So I'm just like, I don't know. Stuff like that stir up stuff for no reason and talking about your past.
Tiny Harris
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, make sure you check out time on uncensored man on TV1.
DJ Envy
That's right. Appreciate you guys.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
And I love that your baby is the one that's interviewing you and narrating the thing. The whole thing. I. I love that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Yeah.
Tiny Harris
She did such a Good job. Like, literally, they was like, we wanna.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
We.
Tiny Harris
We wanna give her a job.
Lauren LaRosa
Like, I was ready to take it. Yeah, I was ready to take it.
DJ Envy
Well, you can check it out on the 26th. And thank you guys for joining us.
Lauren LaRosa
Thank you.
Tiny Harris
Thank you.
DJ Envy
Here's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
Morning.
DJ Envy
Let's get to the ladies with Lauren.
Charlamagne Tha God
You'll talk. LL cool babe.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself. A little bit about everything and everything.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Little brown girls look at you and
Lauren LaRosa
go, I want to be like you.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Take me through that.
Lauren LaRosa
Take me through that.
Charlamagne Tha God
The latest with l' Oreal on the Breakfast Club. LL Cool Bay, talk to me.
Lauren LaRosa
All right, guys. So remember we did that exclusive where people were able to hear parts of the Jcole and Cameron interview first on the Breakfast Club, but they had these conversations about Drake and Kendrick Lamar and all those things. So that interview aired on Revolt yesterday via talk with Flea, which is Cameron
Charlamagne Tha God
showbox Flea drop on the Clues bombs for Cameron and talk.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes, yes. And I saw a lot of the clips everywhere, so, you know, it was a great release day for him. But I wanted to get into some of the things that they talked about that we didn't get to talk about here on the Breakfast Club. So the first thing I wanted to go to was Jcole talking about how confused he was when he heard Kendrick Lamar's verse that dropped. Let's take a listen.
Charlamagne Tha God
When the metro booming track just came
DJ Envy
out, when you first heard it, how
Charlamagne Tha God
did you feel about it?
DJ Envy
Probably about an hour or two before somebody hit me and said, kendrick, boom boom, right?
Lauren LaRosa
So I'm like, what the.
DJ Envy
I'm throwing off right there, right? Automatically I'm like, wait, what? Wait, I know we good. I just spoke boom, boom. Like, now I'm trying to think like, damn, did I do. I'm not even hearing the song. I don't know what the he gonna say. You know what I mean? Like, like. So I'm like, damn, did something happen? Did I do something? Did I say something? Boom, boom. Like, I'm confused almost. So I listen to it. My first reaction is, that is hard. My second reaction is, not now. At that time, I had been working on the fall off, which was done. He was on two joints, meaning Kendrick. Yes, Right. Two joints. In my mind, I'm like, oh, I've been working so long on this. You a big part of it, which I'm grateful for. Cause it's like. Like that's. That was a part of my vision for it. Having both of these dudes as a part of this. On my way out, I wanted to, like, celebrate, like, damn, I'm really grateful to have done it at the same time as these. Yes. And I genuinely felt like this is it for me.
Lauren LaRosa
Can you imagine you're preparing an album, you know, on the album, you want to celebrate the big three, and, you know, on your way out, and then it's like, oh, the big three is over all of a sudden. So now you readjust.
DJ Envy
I wonder what happened to them. Kendrick versus the Kendrick not clear it or he decided he didn't want to put them out.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why did he even take them off? That's what I was unclear of. Why did he take them off?
Lauren LaRosa
Off?
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
Even if. Even if somebody leaked that it was coming, I. I feel like you should have put them on there.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, he said that too. He said that they were leaked. I never heard those records.
Lauren LaRosa
I didn't.
Charlamagne Tha God
Never heard those leaks.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. Well, we also talked a little bit about how Jcole had. Talks about having his weight on his shoulders once he put out the verse and charlamagne. You brought up a good point about if there was weight, why go in the studio at all in the first place and do it? Where was the weight then? So Jcole kind of addressed that a bit too. He talks about being. How being a pretender led him to recording that verse. Let's take a listen.
Charlamagne Tha God
Listen.
DJ Envy
They taking what you said, and they giving it gas and they giving it light. And then my thought becomes, I don't up. I done misrepresented myself.
Charlamagne Tha God
That wasn't your intention.
DJ Envy
That wasn't my intention, Right. My attention was some. Honestly, my intention was fraudulent to begin with. You pretending. It's like a. Pull his gun out. Oh, pull this gun out and just shoot a toe or something, right? It's like, ah, I shot him. You know what I mean? You only did it because you was worried about how everybody looked around you. You know what I mean? So my intention was some, right? And then on top of that, that. Oh, God, do this.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Think.
DJ Envy
Do this. Because. Because this music is weird and this Internet is weird. You know, we. I love these. I really do. But, like, bro, I'm not sure I'm not with y' all like this, right? Not with y'.
Charlamagne Tha God
All.
DJ Envy
Every day when we was locked in. Locked in. I might talk to these once a year.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh.
DJ Envy
And even how. I'm telling you, it was way heavy.
Charlamagne Tha God
It was like, oh, no.
DJ Envy
Like, sink in my chair. Like, nah. But at the same time, you did it already, right?
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, I've already done it.
DJ Envy
I've already, I've already like jumped into it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, we knew that already. And I'm glad he admitted that because, you know, when you heard the verse, the seven Minute Drill verse, that's what, that's the reason it was trash. Like, nothing about it felt authentic. And we know he didn't believe what he was saying. There's no way you believe Cole, that Kendrick's catalog is weak. The way you, the way you tried to make it seem on 7 minute drill by doing the whole, you know, Jay Z, Nas.
DJ Envy
Yeah, cadence. Like, no, he took that back quick though. But like, it's just so, so many different things. I, I just have follow up questions to ask. But continue on.
Lauren LaRosa
What. What was like, what?
DJ Envy
What?
Charlamagne Tha God
I just think Cole falls the peer pressure too much. That's what it sounds like.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh my goodness.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's the white man in him, not the white side. Being around all the black people, letting the black people soup you up, dance, you know,
DJ Envy
like he's the total opposite, right? Like, you know, people say he needs to do beats. He needs, he needs to get beats from different producers. I do it myself. He needs to do this. I ride my bike like you.
Lauren LaRosa
You.
DJ Envy
He. He depicts a person that ride his bike, that does things on his own and never listens to anybody. So the fact that he listened to people there is. Seems strange.
Charlamagne Tha God
Forgot about his cardio though. Why he can't crack a bike. Mad people ride bikes.
DJ Envy
Continue on.
Lauren LaRosa
Something new that we learned in this interview. JCole talked for the first time ever about the master situation with Jay Z and acquiring the master masters.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, I about to say he really making us respect this mulatto. Yo. This is crazy.
Lauren LaRosa
No, and, and he, he tells a story about how he was able to get his masters back soon. Let's take a listen.
DJ Envy
How I even got my masters back in the first place is because Jay and Roc Nation agreed to switch my record deal over to a distribution deal. You know what I mean? Which gave me a big, A much larger chunk of ownership than I had previously. You know what I mean? Which set me. I just didn't want to say that because people just think like, I just got my master back. But really it's like, nah, I got him back a little early because, you know, one, I had leverage. But also Roc Nation did the right thing and like overly blessed me by switching that to a, to a distribution deal. And I never said that publicly.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't think now that won't go viral. Of course.
Lauren LaRosa
I. And I thought that I'm like doing
Charlamagne Tha God
the right thing never goes viral.
Lauren LaRosa
The way that people try to paint the relationship by some of the things he said, you know, strange too.
DJ Envy
Like if. If he gave you your masters back so early and you're so grateful, why they're still like. They don't effort.
Lauren LaRosa
Because a lot of that narrative, people don't just make up. It be from things that he like slip in and say and throw.
Charlamagne Tha God
He rap about just. Just getting out of slavery. But you, you've been out. I don't even know if he was in slavery. You weren't in slavery to begin with. I'm not listening. I like J. Cole, but these interviews have been a little confusing. Okay.
Lauren LaRosa
Did you know that 50 Cent was going to sign them?
DJ Envy
I didn't know that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes. Yeah, I didn't know.
Lauren LaRosa
I didn't know that either.
Charlamagne Tha God
Say that before.
DJ Envy
I don't remember that.
Lauren LaRosa
Let's take a listen to that.
DJ Envy
That at one point in time, 50 shot money and shout the G Unit hole from Queens, right? They was trying to put, I think, 50 onto my. You know what I mean? This is around the time right before when. When I was knowing Mark, before Jay had heard my. And I think they played my for 50 and what I was told, his response was like, mind you, I had like Lost. I had this song called Lost Ones. I had Lights Please. I had my. I had Simba. I had Hard too. Like, where you could tell I could really rap. And I think 50 reaction from what I heard was, can't sign his jeans too tight.
Charlamagne Tha God
Are you going off the image? Right? Right.
DJ Envy
I mean, I get it too, because, I mean, guess what? That would have made no sense, me going to G Unit. But it would have fit. It wouldn't fit back then.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Tony Ayo said that Antonio said everybody wanted to sign with G Unit. Just hilarious, remember?
DJ Envy
He said, but it wouldn't fit back then where G Unit was back then and how they were moving the bulletproof vest. It wouldn't have fit.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Not with J. Cole.
DJ Envy
Not back then.
Charlamagne Tha God
We wouldn't have respected the mulatto with a G Unit.
DJ Envy
Just wouldn't have fit.
Charlamagne Tha God
Not.
Lauren LaRosa
That was the only thing that would. That made sense in the interview back then.
DJ Envy
That was gangster. They like, they were so gangster. That was the whole image. And I don't think J. Cole would. It wouldn't been have fit, I guess you mean.
Charlamagne Tha God
But that and somebody. I want somebody to ask J. Cole about why we got to respect the mulatto now. Because I never heard him talk like that. Throughout his career with mulatto. Yeah. So why we got to respect the mulatto now? That's his words, by the way. He said this one. Now we gotta. You have to respect the. Yes.
Lauren LaRosa
Maybe he'll sit down with you. No, probably not. No, I don't think he can take that one. Yeah. And then in. In the next hour on the next latest, we'll be talking about Lotto and 21 Savage. And you talk about respecting some things. She's demanding respect about her pregnancy.
DJ Envy
All right, now, don't forget next hour. Just fix my mess. If you relationship advice or any type of advice, get on the phone lines right now. 800-585-1051. But next donkey today. Who giving that donkey to?
Charlamagne Tha God
Man 4 After the hour, we need a Florida man named Brandon Charles Gregory to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have a word with him, please.
DJ Envy
All right, we'll get to that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
Make sure you tell them to watch
DJ Envy
out for Florida, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
The craziest people in America come from the Bronx. And all of Florida. Yes, you are. Are a donkey. A Florida man attacked an ATM for a very strange reason.
Mimi Brown
It gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after deputies say
Lauren LaRosa
he rigged the door to his home
Mimi Brown
in an attempt to electrocute his pregnant wife.
Lauren LaRosa
Police arrested an Orlando man for attacking a flamingo.
Charlamagne Tha God
The Breakfast Club donkey of the day with Charlemagne, the guy. I don't know why y' all keep letting him get y' all like this. I don't know why you keep thinking it's me. Little Duvall. It's y'.
Lauren LaRosa
All.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, Donkey of the day for Thursday, March 26 goes to a Florida man, man named Brandon Charles Gregory Lewis. That's too many first names. That's way too many first names in one day. Brandon Charles Gregory and Lewis. Brandon is 33 years old and he was charged with vehicular homicide in connection with the death of 40 year old Ashley Tyre. Rest in peace, Ashley. Okay? You should be here today and you would be if Brandon simply had some integrity. Okay, listen, I know times is hard for everybody, but stealing and trying to get over on people is not the way. Okay, now I'm making honest, honest attempt to not judge people for what they do when they are in survival mode. Well, I want Brandon Charles Gregory and Lewis to know that I am judging. Okay, See, Brandon went to just shop tires to get his tires replaced and he attempted to leave without paying the 95 he owed for the service. First of all okay. In this article in law and crime it says tires plural. Where the hell is someone getting tires, plural, replaced for 95. Drop one of clues bombs for that deal. Okay.
DJ Envy
It could have been used. Could have been used.
Charlamagne Tha God
Tired, sir, but still, 95, you could
DJ Envy
use tires like $40 tires. Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Wow. Okay. Well, let the record show he was driving a Hyundai Equs. How you pronounce that? Okay, I don't know how to pronounce it. I did some research and by research I googled. And replacing a tire on a Hyundai aquis generally cost between 150 and 350 per tire for the tire itself. When including installation and labor and taxes, the total cost for a single tire replacement is typically closer to 200, 400. But as you said, it could be used.
DJ Envy
Correct.
Charlamagne Tha God
But still, 95, that's a hell of a deal. Does that include installation, mounting, balancing? If so, God damn it, Brandon. Charles Gregory Lewis. You don't recognize a blessing when you see one. Okay. And that's exactly why you in the situation you in now. Okay. Would you like to know know what Brandon opted to do instead of paying the 95 for getting his tires replaced?
DJ Envy
Yes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Let's go to NBC News too, for the report, please.
DJ Envy
Officers arrested Brandon Lewis when he came to Mascot police headquarters to pick up some of his stuff. And he went in front of a judge via Zoom for the first time this morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
Charles Gregory Lewis.
DJ Envy
The arrest comes a week after Lewis allegedly hit and killed Ashley Tire. She was working at the Just Stop tire shop in Mascot. The crime was caught on surveillance camera. The suspect had just gotten tires put on his car but didn't want to pay and tried to drive away. Ashley Tyer got in front of the car to stop it, but it hit her and sped off with her on the hood. We learned yesterday she died from her injuries. Christine Cherry lives nearby and told me she tried to help Tyre.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's not right for taking somebody's life
Tiny Harris
for something really stupid.
DJ Envy
Lewis is facing a charge for vehicular manslaughter. And in court, the state attorney's office ran down his history of driving violations, including another case out of state where he hit and killed a person with a car.
Charlamagne Tha God
Ashley Tire died and worked at a tire shop because someone didn't want to pay for tires they got replaced. Ashley Tire, rest in peace. Died at a tire shop because someone didn't want to pay for tires they replaced. I really have no idea how GTA 6 is going to top in yet. This. Okay. I. I truly don't I. I have so many problems with this story. First of all, the fact that you didn't want to pay the $95 to get your tires replaced is one thing. But this employee, this woman, Ashley Tire, stood in front of the car to prevent you from leaving, and you drove into her. God bless Ashley Tire. But no, okay, you didn't have to do that, all right? You shouldn't have done all that, all right? According to the report, the tire shop already had his tag, his car making model, model, his name. They had everything. He wasn't gonna get far. You didn't have to try to stop him. I feel so sorry for her because that job wouldn't die for you, okay? But you died for your job, okay? I don't care that your last name is Ty. You're not supposed to die for the tire shop. And Brandon, the same reason Ashley shouldn't have gotten in front of the car is the same reason you getting donkey of the day. Where the hell was you going? They had your name tag making model of the car. If you can't afford 95 to pay for your tires, how you gonna afford baby bail? Okay? How you gonna pay for a lawyer? I already know one will be appointed for you, all right? You are going to prison for the rest of your life. And you took a life for 95. Oh, what a tangled web we weave when we practice to deceive. What does that mean? It means dishonesty, deception. It creates complex, chaotic situations that are hard to manage. Okay? And trap the liar in a web of their own making. 95 has turned into a bond of a half a million dollars and a life loss, all because you chose not to do the right thing in the first place. Don't try to make sense of any of this. Just remember, it's Florida. Ladies and gentlemen, please give Brandon Charles Gregory Lewis the biggest he. I'm not going front, man. That's the first name I ever seen. That makes calling one individual they make sense to me. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? The day thing never, ever made sense to me. Calling one individual day. But if your name is Brandon Charles Gregory and Lewis, you were they.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
It's like you talking to all your kids.
Charlamagne Tha God
You were they. You were they. And of them, you would they them. If your name is Brandon Charles, Gregory and Lewis, I want to just know the race.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Just because of all that. All them damn first names.
Charlamagne Tha God
Where is he?
DJ Envy
That's black.
Charlamagne Tha God
Shut up.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
All the names are black, though.
Charlamagne Tha God
You want to play a game since you're so sure, since you so sure. Okay, let's play a game of guess
DJ Envy
what race it is. Race day is sir.
Charlamagne Tha God
But go get what race day is. Matter of fact, bring that back. From the top, from the top, from the top. Let's play a game of guess what race day is. Brandon Charles Gregory Lewis, 33 years old from Florida. Got his tires replaced for 95 and didn't want to pay, so he ran over one of the employees that was trying to stop him. Rest in peace to Ashley Tyer. Guess what race day is.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Black.
Charlamagne Tha God
Gregory's black.
DJ Envy
Gregory's black.
Charlamagne Tha God
But then there's a brand new Brandon. There's a Charles A. Gregory. This is why you, Dominic.
DJ Envy
It's black.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's why you, Dominic.
DJ Envy
I'm going black.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay?
DJ Envy
And it's homicide. Not homicide. Homicide.
Charlamagne Tha God
Every time I look at you, it just makes me sad.
DJ Envy
Okay, all right. Keep going, keep going, keep going.
Charlamagne Tha God
Turn to the left so I don't. So I can see the other side. Maybe the other side is the heterosexual. Just hilarious. Brandon Charles Gregory Lewis, 33 years old from Florida. He was charged with vehicular homicide after he ran over Ashley Tire, an employee at the tire shop who tried to stop him because he didn't want to pay 95 for his tires ever replaced. Guess what race day is.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I'm gonna say white. I'm just gonna. I don't. Because I know a white Brandon. I know a white troll.
DJ Envy
You know white Gregory.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)

Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
my advice is real.
DJ Envy
Morning everybody. It's the DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club. It's time for just fix my mess. Hello? Who's this?
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, this Monica.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
All right, what's up? What's your question, Mo?
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, so I was scientific in and
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
then he ended up dying. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. So you were the side chick to this man, but he ends up dying.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, he died.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Okay, I'm sorry about that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
I got pregnant and I got a
Charlamagne Tha God
baby and he got a baby mama
Lauren LaRosa
or his main girlfriend that he was with.
Charlamagne Tha God
They had kids, they had two daughters together.
Lauren LaRosa
So now I'm trying to figure out
Charlamagne Tha God
how I can involve my son with his siblings.
Lauren LaRosa
And she pissed off because I was a side chick. And you already know how that goes.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Absolutely.
Charlamagne Tha God
But I don't care about none of that. I don't care about none of that. I care about my son being in his siblings life. Yeah. Because now the dad is not here to, you know, maneuver that.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I understand that you don't care about it. You know what I'm saying? But now you do have to care because you were with somebody else's man. That's just what it is. And he ended up passing away. You knew that he was somebody else's man when you got pregnant. You knew that he was somebody else's man when you had your baby. And you knew that even now he was still somebody else's father. He had other kids. He was in a relationship knowingly. So I'm sorry, you. You can feel the way you want to feel, but it's not really right. Like you can't be that entitled to. To think just because this man is dead, that his. You, you got. You can't expect his. His girlfriend or baby mother, whatever she is, to just act like he wasn't cheating on you. I mean, he wasn't cheating on her with you and made a baby.
Lauren LaRosa
That's a lot.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
That's the big ass pill to swallow. You know, you had a whole side chick. Now shorty got a baby and now our kids have to meet one day. Absolutely. Because that's what it is. They are siblings. But the situation was messy. And that's on you and him. But guess who here to deal with that? You. He not here no more. So you gonna have to deal with however long this lady take to. To. To want to, you know, introduce her kids to you or to, you know, to. To his. Their brother, the siblings. To the brother. You. You understand what I'm saying?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
How long was it. How long has it been since he passed?
Lauren LaRosa
It's been a year.
Charlamagne Tha God
This. January has been a year.
Lauren LaRosa
January 10th. Yeah.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
And I know it's very hard for you, too. I. I do have empathy for you as well. You know, you. You did lose the father of your child, you know. You know, and having a baby without a father and being a single mother, all of that is hard. And it's, you know, in itself, you know, so I'm not saying I don't feel sorry for you on that end, but I don't feel sorry for you that. That you want your son to. To be sibling, you know, to get to know his siblings. Right now, that. It's going to take that lady probably another year or six months or two years, you know what I mean? Until she. So she can actually let go of what was at one point.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I mean, I'm not really pushing the
Lauren LaRosa
issue now because my son, he's still like a baby, so, I mean, he don't really know them now, but it's just like.
Charlamagne Tha God
But me and her, I just want to get to a relationship with me
Lauren LaRosa
and her where we could just be co. Like, cool. I didn't even gonna say cool. Like, cordial, I guess. Yeah.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Cordial enough for your kids to actually get to know each other and to build that relationship because they are siblings. I understand.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I do understand. The good thing about it is, though, your baby's so young, you know, so it's. It's time, you know, it. She got. It's. It's enough time, you know, you have a little boy. I'm sorry. I keep saying she or he. I don't know. I'm sorry. What you got?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, it's a little boy, but.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they can be whatever these days. Hey, yo, shut up. No, your. Your son is a boy. What did he have? What did you see? What was the private part? It was a boy. So he is.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, but I'm just saying.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
No, no, no. Just. Just give it time, babe. Just give it time. And she'll. She will come around. It is just, you know, there ain't no telling how. How many other women she found out he was cheating on her with, you know what I'm saying? So, like. Like, just put yourself in her shoes for a little bit, you know? But give us some time. She'll come around. Cause it's really about the kids, you know? Cause the father not here to make that happen. So she, you know, time heals all wounds. And then y', all, y' all should be able to move forward as co parenting mothers for these kids.
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you, J. I love you. And it's Chevy Equinox.
Lauren LaRosa
It's Chevy Equinox. I heard that duck the other day,
Charlamagne Tha God
and you were struggling. It's Chevy Equinox. I thought it was a Hyundai.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Yeah, yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Queen. I thought you was talking about this, but I still love you, Charlemagne. I love you. I love you more. And. And time does heal all wounds. Unless the wound is herpes.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Oh, my God.
Lauren LaRosa
All right, boo.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I. I just. Call me back.
DJ Envy
We're in the middle of. Jess, fix my mess.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hello?
DJ Envy
Who's this?
Charlamagne Tha God
You.
DJ Envy
Hey, what's your question for Jess?
Lauren LaRosa
So my question for Jess is I'm
Charlamagne Tha God
just trying to leave like a new. Well, it's not a new relationship, but, like, we're new parents, and it's too much infidelity that's going on, like, on his end. And I just want to leave without being labeled like a bitter, bitter mama.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Oh, then you can just do that, baby. What you. Listen, it's not even about your labels. It's not about what the labels that people put on you. Do you feel that you would be bitter? Do you feel yourself being bitter? If you feel like, if it's literally you not putting up with the BS in a relationship, you don't want to be cheated on. You're. You're. Y' all just had a baby. Like, if the relationship is not working out, you just leave it. Don't worry about what nobody gonna think about you. Now, have you confirmed him cheating or do you just. This is just speculation that you're doing. Like, you haven't proved it.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, I've confirmed it. We've had multiple conversations about it, like, as far as, like, him stopping and everything. But I feel like the trust is gone on my end. Like, I can't trust him. I can't feel safe with his trust. And it's like every time we take a break, it's always like, oh, you're being bitter. You're trying to keep the child away from me. This then the third, and it's like, I'm not trying to keep the child away from you. You could. You're still a dad at the end of the day, no matter if we're together. So I just didn't want that label to be put on me because of his feelings. Like, you know, go around telling everybody, like, she did this she's doing that. And now I'm bitter. I don't want that.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Oh. Oh, it doesn't matter, honey. It, it, it doesn't matter. If I were you, I would care less. I think you should care less. You should focus on yourself and moving forward and what looks right for you and your baby. How old is the B? Oh, girl, please. It's so many other things on your plate and on your mind that you got to deal with than a better baby mama reputation. Please. Nobody got time. He's a cheater like that. That's just what it is. I got tired of you cheating. So if, if, if that's bitter, that's bitter. It's okay for me to be bitter. It's okay. Like, yo, it's, it's all right. That's the feeling you embrace. Like you're not, you weren't happy. He been playing with you back to, back to back. Yo, after y' all didn't try to reconcile, you know, like, nah, that's it. If you want me to, if you want to call me bitter, I'll be bitter. Yes, I'll be bitter. But I won't be with your ass. You know what I'm saying? Because I, I, I just don't understand it, it shouldn't, the reputation shouldn't matter to you. Like, are you over him? You can be honest.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, I don't know.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, because this is our first child as a togetherness. So I do have love for him, but I also don't want, like my, I don't want us to become a bitter relationship that we can't become. Like, we can't co parent in the end.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Yeah, well, listen, nobody plans to have a baby and not be together. You know, things just happen. And that's what I write about in my book Till Death Do We Parent. My co parenting memoir goes over that. Me and, me and Rome met. I, I thought I would spend the rest of my life with him. And when, you know, we kept failing at all these attempts at, at a, a relationship, what I had to realize is that life didn't stop there. You know what I'm saying? We had to develop a healthy co parenting bond because we had kid, we, we had a kid looking at us, you know, And I do understand this is your first baby. It's going, it's going to take some time getting over it. I think that's why, I also think that's why I hurts you so much that he caught that he labels you bitter because you still Actually care about what he thinks of you.
Tiny Harris
You.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
You're not fully past him, and it's okay. That's all right. But don't think too hard about your reputation. Don't think harder about what they gonna look at you as than what's really going on, like what your future looks like. Just pay attention to yourself. You. You gotta. The world is not gonna end because you're not with. You're not with him. And he's doing his thing. Trust me. He's sleeping peacefully, and he knows how to get up under your skin, too, you know, and it's. Sorry, Don't. Don't worry about that. Just do what's best for you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay. Okay.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Thank you. No problem.
Lauren LaRosa
Thank you.
Charlamagne Tha God
But I was just like. I. I don't know. I was just trying. Like I said, I just didn't want that label. Like, so many young mothers. So many single mothers get that label. And I was just trying to beat the statistics.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
No, don't, girl. No, we can't beat no goddamn statistics. Trying to, you know, trying to stay in relationships.
DJ Envy
That.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
That is not good for us. Nah, girl, you've been. Had a heart attack, developmental illness, all of that. Trying to conv yourself that you're not bitter because somebody is calling you better. Girl. It's all right to be bitter. It's all right. It's all right. And it ain't gonna last forever. It'll last for a little bit.
Lauren LaRosa
Thank you.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
No problem, love. It's all right.

Ivana. Lisette Ortiz. She was in court yesterday for her first court appearance, and she pled not guilty. And you guys will remember, she was charged with attempted murder. She fired at least 10 rounds at Rihanna's home and then was Followed and later arrested maybe like 30 minutes later by police. So this was her first court appearance. They said they kept her bail at $1,875,000. Even though her attorney tried to get it lower. It was rejected. They also rejected a bond for her. So there will be more coming there. And some people probably wondering, why would she plead not guilty when you know, there's so much evidence. Evidence leaning to the other side of it.
Charlamagne Tha God
But they all plead not guilty. But some crimes are so ridiculous and so, you know, cut and dry that it's a waste of taxpayers dollars. All right. And it's just too time consuming. We know she did it.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Just lock them up.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. But, yeah, what I believe will happen is that her attorneys are going to try and, you know, lean into like everything going on, presumably with her mental health because of some of her history that we've seen.
Charlamagne Tha God
She's clearly schizophrenic.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, we've seen that in other cases like with Nick Renner, the son of the renters who, who was involved in that killing. They did the same thing as well, too, where he pled not guilty in his arraignment as well. So again, I'll keep you guys updated as, you know, that progresses.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Still be able to be kept off the streets?
Charlamagne Tha God
Absolutely.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, no, she would still be out the streets. Like, they ain't gonna just let her
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
walk free, but in a regular prison,
Charlamagne Tha God
she'd be like Arkham Asylum or something. Like, you know, she should be in some type of mental health.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Exactly.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. So we'll keep you updated there. Also, a quick mention too. Different stories, but you guys remember the guy who broke in the car that had Beyonce's hard drive for the music?
Charlamagne Tha God
Send him to Akhama's asylum.
Lauren LaRosa
He also pled not guilty yesterday in at his arraignment in court, so there'll be some developments there as well, too.
DJ Envy
But he was caught with the car though, right?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, well, he was caught with some things. Yeah.
Tiny Harris
So.
Lauren LaRosa
But he's pleading not guilty and we'll have to hear why he believes he. And he also said he waived his right to. He wants to go to trial. Like he's ready to go. He told the judge yesterday, like, I'm ready for trial right now.
DJ Envy
So did he have a lawyer?
Lauren LaRosa
A public defender? I. I'm not for sure.
Tiny Harris
For real.
Lauren LaRosa
I mean, that's an attorney.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
That's an attorney showing up in them big ass suits.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, that's an attorn. Yeah. So a few updates there. Just a little you know, some. Some things for you guys. But Lotto and 21 Savage shifting gears a. Oh, I meant to say a bit. Oh, my God.
Charlamagne Tha God
I knew he was gay.
Lauren LaRosa
Shut up. Shifting gears a bit. So Lotto covered Allure magazine and the baby pump and her are on the COVID of the magazine. Now.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
The.
Lauren LaRosa
This written interview was actually done before she announced her pregnancy. So I want you guys to remember that as I talk through these things for the timeline purposes. But 21 Savage yesterday posted the photo of the magazine cover with Big Mama. You know, just leaning into the fact that we know that they're expecting the baby together. But her album Big Mama comes out in May. May 29th. And Lotto's talking a lot just about anticipating the hate that she was gonna get once she announced the baby. We also found out in this article that she did not know, like, it wasn'. Plan. She found out she was pregnant literally while recording this project. She said she was praying to God for, like, clarity, motivation, just, you know, something to inspire what she was going to make this project about. And then she found out she was pregnant, literally while recording. She said she's always thought when she got pregnant one day that she was going to fall back and be out the way, but she found out that she was pregnant. She was staring at a positive pregnancy test, and she was in the middle of creating what she's now calling her best masterpiece. She said this is some of the best music that she's ever done done now and addressing the haters, she says she wants to talk directly to the people who are. Who are going to respond to the verse that she did on Go Girl, where she. She says, big Mama, no kids, waiting for the right man, right time. And that is what has been happening ever since Lotto has announced that she's been pregnant. People have been having conversations about how you're going to be pregnant, you're not married. They feel like she in a lot of her songs, tore down women that are not married that are, you know, single moms or baby moms or whatever, right? So that's been the conversation in the addresses it before it even happened. She says she recorded that verse almost two years ago and she was not pregnant. She says she's not cap and she wants to clear that up. She says she has nothing to prove to anyone. Lotto says, I have no rumor to clear up. I've been with my man for years now, and it's not going anywhere. To me, that's clearly a result of me moving and operating how I do. And she also talks about the fact that it's like a double standard. Like when women are in relationships and when women are in the spotlight, people expect women to be so open, so vulnerable, and to tell everything, especially about the relationship. And she says she doesn't want to do that. She wants to be known for her music and her work. She says when it comes to female rappers, female artists, we're told that we have to put so much of our life out there, and it becomes so much about personal life and not about the music. That's just how things end up crashing and burning. It's too many cooks in the kitchen. I'm a person outside of my relations relationship. Lotto says, I don't want to make the forefront my. That forefront my existence, of my career. I got a man at home. I'm happy, and I'm well taken care of, and that's all everybody needs to know.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
I love that.
Lauren LaRosa
I do, too. Yeah.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Because the more we know about these stars, when everything unravel, we stop paying attention to the music and we start paying attention, Paying attention to their business and their real life more than the music. Yeah, I respect that.
Lauren LaRosa
And it makes you look forward to the music as well, too. But I love that she said, y' all expect me to do this and I don't have to because I want to stand on my own two feet when it comes to business and my music and my career. I don't want to just be someone's girlfriend or someone's wife.
Charlamagne Tha God
I do want y' all out there to know, too. If you are living life anticipating your haters, then you're not really living. Okay. When you accomplish things, when you get blessed, share it. Because of how proud you feel about it, don't worry about who's going to have something negative to say. I agree.
Lauren LaRosa
That's true. Yeah, but they be on Lotto, though, like, so. I'm just saying, she always.
DJ Envy
They be on Carter, they be on Megan, they be on Jay, they be
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
on you, they be on Jess.
DJ Envy
They be on everybody.
Charlamagne Tha God
They don't gotta be on those celebrities. If you are a person, you know, living a great life, you know, a working class person, if you do anything that, you know, glimpses at success in any way, shape or form, people will have something to say.
Lauren LaRosa
That's true.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay. Cares.
Lauren LaRosa
That's true.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, you can't live for them not living in anticipation of what haters gonna say. Nope.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, dang. We have to wrap now. Okay. As we wrap last night, Cardi B sold out the first night At Madison Square Garden. The second night is sold out as well too. I know we're going to be, you know, heading to the. The concert last night. She brought out little Kim and little Kim talked about the fact that Cardi dressed her cuz she had this huge costume. Yeah, she said a Cardi and her team dress her.
DJ Envy

DJ Envy

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just like Larry Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now it's women's history month when we Repping today.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Okay. Because this came up kind of fast. All right. We are repping Slim hiller from the 2002 movie Enough, played by Jennifer Lopez. I'm honoring Slim. I think she should be honored for her transformation from a terrified victim of domestic violence into a courageous, independent survivor who learns how to fight, fight, and fights back to protect her daughter. Her baby father was the one abusing her, y'.
Charlamagne Tha God
All.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
Just in case, y' all know, y' all ain't never seen enough. You know, her husband she's trying to get away from, because every time you see her, he beats the hell out of her. You know, her journey demonstrates extreme resilience, self empowerment, and strategic thinking in the face of a danger, in the face of a dangerous, controlling, and wealthy antagonist. I forgot to tell you, RB all father and husband was very wealthy, so it was hard to get away from him because he had people in every city trying to find her and. And her daughter, and she took the daughter away, basically. It's a lot of injustice against women that goes on if you got money. Like, if.
Charlamagne Tha God
If.
Jesseca Dupart (Jess Hilarious)
If somebody got money, they can pay for everything to go on away. And that's what he did until she beat his ass at the end when she learned how to fight and she lived happily ever after. She got with a whole nother man. The daughter grew up to be nice and healthy.
Lauren LaRosa
So.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, you hate real women.

DJ Envy
Official.com you have a positive note, sir.
Charlamagne Tha God
I do. Positive note is simply this. This comes from the Healing God. I love the healing guide on Instagram. Y' all should follow them, man. But the healing guy said a big part of becoming an adult is unlearning a lot of the stuff you were taught by people who didn't know what they were doing either. Growing up often means realizing that not everything you were taught was right or useful. People who raised or influenced you were also figuring life out, carrying their own fear, fears, limits, and misunderstandings. Some beliefs get passed down without being questioned. Maturity comes from examining those patterns and deciding what still fits and what needs to go. Letting go of outdated thinking creates space for clearer choices, healthier habits, and a more authentic way of living. Have a great day, y'. All. Breakfast Club Wake you up.
