Whatever makes him happy. All right, well, let's get in some front page news. Now let's start off with some quick Sports. Last night, NBA Finals OKC beat the Spurs 127, 114. They lead the series 3 2.

DJ Envy
Yeah, absolutely. What's up, mimi?
Mimi Brown
Good morning, M.V. jamain. How y' all doing this morning?
Charlamagne Tha God
Good morning.
Mimi Brown
Good morning. So we start this morning with two major voting map battles in the south, both centered around black voting power and who gets political representation in Congress. So in Alabama, a federal court has blocked the state's new congressional map. After judges said Republican lawmakers intentionally discriminated against black voters. Now civil rights groups, they argue that Alabama should have two districts where black voters have a strong opportunity to elect candidates they support, since black residents, they make up about 27% of the state's population. But instead, Republican lawmakers, they approved a map with only one majority black district. But yesterday, a federal panel ruled that map violated the Constitution, saying lawmakers knew it would weaken black voting power and passed it anyway. Let's listen to Alabama Congressman Shamari figures whose district was one of the ones where Republicans were trying to redraw maps.
State Farm Announcer
Since this court has been hearing the
Charlamagne Tha God
evidence in this case, they've been pretty consistent in their belief that there was
State Farm Announcer
an overwhelming volume of evidence that the
Charlamagne Tha God
state of Alabama discriminated against black voters and how it drew its maps. And you have to keep in mind that these are two judges appointed by Donald Trump himself and a third that was originally put on the bench by Ronald Reagan.
Mimi Brown
Yes. So for now, at least through midterms, his district will stand. And meanwhile, over in South Carolina yesterday, lawmakers, they backed away from a similar fight. Republicans there, they were pushing a new congressional map that critics say would have weakened the state's only majority black district. And that's the district that is represented, represented by longtime Congressman Jim Clyburn. But on Tuesday, on yesterday, South Carolina state Senate, Senate, they ultimately backed away from the effort and never approved that map. The lawmakers, they abruptly ended their session without taking up a vote. That's because early voting had already started in the station in the state, and they said about 45,000 people had already cast their ballots. And Republicans, they did not want to interrupt that ongoing election process. So that means that South Carolina's only majority black congressional district, it survives for now. And here is Jim Clyburn weighing in on the redistricting effort that is happening in his state.
Charlamagne Tha God
I've lived every moment of my life in this state. My parents roots go back to the ship. I was born and raised in Sumter County. I came to college here in Orangeburg County. On my way to Charleston to teach school, I stopped by Berklee County Moncks going and picked up a wife. So I know the state. I'm very proud of this state. And South Carolinians should reject this. Rest in peace, Miss Emily Clyburn, Monks Corner Zone. It's good that, you know, some federal judges out there, you know, still give a damn about black voting rights. And it's great that some people, you know, still care about the Constitution. And it's good that they're calling this what it is, which is racial discrimination.
Mimi Brown
Yes, yes. And so that was yesterday at a press conference in Orangeburg. While Alabama's map was blocked in South Carolina effort, it did stall both redistricting fights. They are not over. They will eventually, most likely end up back in front of the Supreme Court. And as these voting map battles continue across the south, the Congressional Black Caucus, they are now putting pressure on America's biggest companies to publicly speak out against these efforts to redraw these maps that would weaken black voting power. So in a new letter sent to more than 250 corporations, lawmakers, they are accusing corporate America, corporate America of going quiet, quiet in these Republican led states as these pushes to change black voting power in these states are happening. So the CBC says many of these same companies, they publicly supported racial justice and the Voting Rights act after George Floyd's murder and the January 6th attack on the Capitol. But they are largely silent right now as voting maps are being redrawn all across the South. So some of these companies that received the letter include Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft and Starbucks. The CBC says this is part of a larger push. Just last week they said that they are organizing. And again, just last week, the CBC and the naacp, they called on black athletes to boycott public universities in states that are accused of redrawing maps that could eliminate black held congressional districts. Why would this fight here.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm sorry, go ahead, go ahead.
Mimi Brown
No, go ahead.
Charlamagne Tha God
I will say, why would the CBC think that corporations who supported Trump would now call him out?
Caller/Guest
Mm.
Mimi Brown
Well, they're pointing to the fact that back in 2020, they. These are the companies that came out publicly and said that they were going to back, you know, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. They were going to stand up against President Trump after the January six attack. So if they publicly came out then, they're asking them to publicly come out now.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, but as soon as Trump got back in power, I looked like he was about to get back in power. People like the Metas and the Amazons, they fell in line. And corporate America has been silent on everything from voting rights to ICE to doge, to tariffs to immigration policies. The reality is they don't want no smoke with the petty Trump administration.
Mimi Brown
That is the reality. But they said that they want them on the record saying that. That's in their letter and their demand. They want them to come out publicly and say that. And they also want them to let them know how much money that they are giving donors in those Republican states that are you know, holding on to black voting power. So, you know, they held a press conference and that's one of their demands. But I hear. You definitely hear.
Charlamagne Tha God
I guarantee you, when it comes to that letter, corporate America going to remain silent. Okay.
DJ Envy
Just seems so weird in 2026. We're still dealing with some of the things that we're dealing with, with voting problems, redistricting, and everything that we're dealing with now. It just seems so crazy in 2026. 6. Yeah, we're still dealing with these things.
Mimi Brown
And what. And I think to your point, and be. What we really need to. To make sure is a lot of people aren't hearing this. A lot of people do. Do not know what's going on. They have no idea that this fight is actually happening, that there is, you know, a targeted effort to take their voting rights and their way, Their. Their voting power away from them.
DJ Envy
And I understand that too, because it's like political fatigue. Like, it's. It's every day.
Angela Yee
And.
DJ Envy
And I still got to deal with the fact that gas prices are expensive, that I still got to pay for groceries and that they cut my insurance, so I got to pay more for a premium. It's just.
Charlamagne Tha God
It is very hard for. For a person to see past their own bills and their own problems.
DJ Envy
Correct.
Charlamagne Tha God
Just the reality of the situation.
DJ Envy
It is absolutely.
Mimi Brown
All right, y'.
Charlamagne Tha God
All.
Mimi Brown
Well, coming up at 7, the future of self driving cars may have just hit a speed bump. We'll tell you why one major company is suddenly pulling back after problems on the road that's coming up the next hour.

And not to mention, this man is a convicted felon. Like, and it's. It's so crazy to me that they want the illegal immigrants gone, but yet you're okay with this man who literally said f.

Watched it from Facebook.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Caller/Guest
There were a lot of things going on. I stopped people when I saw them out and asked them if they were here for bike feet. Bike Week. I showed them the page on Facebook that had been created to tell about all of the parking lot parties. Parking lot parties. You know, how they stuff in the parking lot. Like, especially at Hooters. And everybody was complaining about how the police or city was racist against Black Fight Week. Because the Harley Bart week is the week before. And they were fighting and they were getting arrested and Waka Flocka was down here for them. But. And they were fighting at that party. It was posted, but nobody was really complaining. So it was just interesting.
Charlamagne Tha God
But that's been going on for years. How old are you?
Caller/Guest
I was born in the 1900s.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
DJ Envy
So she said, never asked a lady
Charlamagne Tha God
her age because I, you know, being Being from South Carolina, like it's always been like that. We did we call it the white.
Caller/Guest
Yeah, we're transplanting.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, got you.

Okay. Okay.
Angela Yee
People are getting arrested during Harley. The Harley Bike Week too. I mean, isn't it the same if people was fighting, they put more of

the black people on news. Yeah. You never heard about people getting arrested.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's what you said.
DJ Envy
That's like in everything.
Angela Yee
Okay.
DJ Envy
Even in Miami, when the white people get arrested, you don't hear it. But when the black people. You hear it all the time. I'm gonna sh down. We're going to put curfew on. It's the same.
Charlamagne Tha God
But also cuz Black Bike weekend is actually popping. Like, you hear about Black Bike Weekend your whole life, at least, you know, growing up in South Carolina, that's.
Angela Yee
Yeah, I've heard about it.
DJ Envy
That's not why you call. Why, why, why you calling Mama? Get it off your chest.
Caller/Guest
Okay. I was calling about Kevin Hart yesterday and I. No one wanted to hear him screaming at the top of his lungs and talking about himself in the third person, especially for 1.5 hours. So I was disgusted. And I'm sure other people share those same sentiments. People were online saying if you listen to it on silent, you can see that he just definitely didn't give any f. Okay. Yeah, so that was my main thing. And then I also want to talk to Charlamagne about something.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, ma'.
Caller/Guest
Am.
DJ Envy
Is it private? You want to put you a hold.
Caller/Guest
No, it's not.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, go ahead. What's up?
Caller/Guest
No, just because Charlamagne was born in the 1900s, I was wondering if he thought that it was time to stop calling himself the God and maybe calling himself the uncle or Mr. Charlamagne.
Charlamagne Tha God
Call myself Uncle. Uncle Charlotte.
Angela Yee
Yeah, Charlemagne.
Charlamagne Tha God
I know, but the black man is always going to be God, just like the black woman is always going to be the goddess. Baby, God is a Greek word derived from the Aramic words guma as the bar, which means wisdom, strength and beauty.
Angela Yee
That boy good.

I should piss everybody off.
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
Angela Yee
I mean, yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
Even me. Now I'm like, y' all be trying it. And we should have learned, like a certain age group of us should have learned in this last movie release that these conversations make no sense. But Drake reached a milestone, so we're going to talk about that.
DJ Envy
A couple months ago, y' all said it was young boy. Yes, a young boy was his biggest.
Angela Yee
No, not y'.
Caller/Guest
All.
Angela Yee
It was the damn kids.
Charlamagne Tha God
I can understand. Here's the thing. I can at least understand why the Drake conversation is happening. And that's what we're gonna be, a young boy conversation. Stuff like that is silly, but I can understand why at least the Drake conversation is happening.
Lauren LaRosa
That's what we're gonna talk about. And Drake is also responding to the milestone as well. Not the conversation, but the milestone. So we'll get into it.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right.
DJ Envy
We'll get into that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club.

All?
DJ Envy
It's DJ Envy from the Breakfast Club. Now check this out. The first phone call that ever happened happened over 150 years ago. 150 years. That's before any of this. Before radio, before social media, before all the ways we stay connected. Today, that one call really started everything. And fast forward to now. It's springtime, the weather's breaking, people outside vibes are right again. Thank God. And it got me thinking, who haven't you talked to in a minute? And you know, through all these years and all these conversations, AT&T has been there, connecting people in meaningful ways. This is more than a story of technological innovation. It's really a story about human connection, real people, real moments, and real relationships. So we celebrate over 150 years of connection. Let this be your reminder. Don't wait. Make that call. Send that text. Pull up on somebody you care about. Because at the end of the day, those connections, that's what really matters.
Lauren LaRosa
Connecting changes everything.
Charlamagne Tha God
@&t. Amazon Pharmacy presents painful thoughts.
DJ Envy
Of course I see my co worker in light at the pharmacy. Can he tell I'm picking up prescription hemorrhoid cream? I'm probably standing weird.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why is he smiling?
DJ Envy
He knows he's gonna call me Hemorrhoid Lloyd tomorrow.
Charlamagne Tha God
I know it.
DJ Envy
I gotta quit my job.
Charlamagne Tha God
Next time, avoid awkward conversations and get fast free delivery. With Amazon Pharmacy, healthcare just got less painful. You talk LL Cool, bitch.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, I'm not dumbing myself down. I'm being myself.
Charlamagne Tha God
That source is my.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everybody.
Mimi Brown
The little brown girls look at you and go, I want to be like
Lauren LaRosa
you take me through that, Take me through there.
Charlamagne Tha God
The latest with Lauren laros on the Breakfast Club. LL Cool Baby, talk to me.
Lauren LaRosa
So some congratulations are in order for Drake. Yesterday he broke Michael Jackson's record. He surpassed Michael Jackson for the most number one singles by a male solo artist. This came after his song Janice STFU debuted on the Billboard Hot 100. So Drake posted to his Instagram, he posted a photo of Michael Jackson with like iceman blue braids and the caption says, neck broke from carrying a chain. Back broke from carrying the game. Records broken. Carrying on my name. Carry on, carry on. So yeah, I mean, when he dropped Iceman Habibti and Maid of Honor, he was going crazy charting just across those three albums in general. But people were waiting for him to break this record. And now it has happened. So now people are having the conversation again about if Drake is bigger than Michael Jackson.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's the question?
Lauren LaRosa
Is Drake bigger than Michael Jackson?
Charlamagne Tha God
Because is that what the Drake fan pages?
DJ Envy
No, there's nowhere close.
Lauren LaRosa
There are some fan pages that are even admitting that this is a stupid conversation. But it comes up all the time whenever Drake nears some of Michael Jackson's like, like records.
Charlamagne Tha God
Let's give the Drake fan pages something to clip. Hey, Drake Clippers, you paying attention? Okay, this is why I say numbers lie. Because does Drake have the numbers? Yes. Does Drake have music that will stand the test of time? Yes, but we know that a lot of the music that Drake makes does not have the cultural impact of an off the wall or a thriller.
DJ Envy
Well, not. Well, you can't even say that they lie. Right? I'm looking now. It says Drake has sold over 170 million records worldwide.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, I can say the thing.
DJ Envy
Michael Jackson sold 500 million worldwide. They're not even close.
Charlamagne Tha God
But, but, but I can still say numbers.
DJ Envy
They're not close. Drake is nowhere near Michael Jackson's level.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, he did break the.
DJ Envy
But he did, he did break it at a time where the, the whole landscape has changed. Now you can stream that streaming, you know, back. You had to go on a day where it was hot outside, it was cold, it was snowing, it was raining, and you had to go out there and actually buy records.
Charlamagne Tha God
I agree with all that, but we don't even got to make it that nuanced. We know that, that a lot of the music Drake makes does not have the cultural impact of a off the wall art thriller. Drake has made a lot of fast food, a lot of here todays gone, Tomorrow's meanwhile it's 2026. And Michael Jackson is still selling almost 3 million albums a year. His biopic has made almost $800 million at the box office. There is levels and layers to who Michael Jackson is.
DJ Envy
I'm a Drake fan, but they gotta stop. They gotta stop.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I know the numbers are similar, but. But. And Drake will break the records, but
DJ Envy
it's not the same.
Lauren LaRosa
And I think it's nothing wrong with giving him his props for the records.
Charlamagne Tha God
Absolutely.
Lauren LaRosa
You know what I mean?
Charlamagne Tha God
Absolutely.
Angela Yee
Yeah.
DJ Envy
What he's doing is amazing. But they gotta stop the comparison. You're not gonna stop the comparison.
Charlamagne Tha God
There is no Michael Jackson.
Angela Yee
Well, he compared.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, he didn't come. I don't know if you compare. I think he just was acknowledging the fact that he directed.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, he did put on the glove and throw up the white power symbol.
DJ Envy
But that's because he broke. Because he broke. He broke the record. Which is fine, but I just hate the comparisons. Like, yeah, you can't tie Micah Jackson shoes.
Charlamagne Tha God
Same like Drake.
Angela Yee
Never be another.
DJ Envy
He can't put a penny in his loaf. It's like it's not even close.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like Drake telling Janice the SDFU is not the same as Michael asking Billie Jean, is she okay?
Mimi Brown
It's not the same, guys.
DJ Envy
Annie's okay. Annie.
Charlamagne Tha God
Annie.
Angela Yee
Just saying. She was like.
DJ Envy
She was just trying to put the baby on.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm cracking up. Obio Eli in the comments. Like legacy engrave forever forward, forever.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, Eli, stay wherever he at. He on vacation. Don't stay on vacation.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, congratulations to Drake. He also posted 42 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 this week. He's doing things, but let's not.
DJ Envy
It's all amazing.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes. Now, shifting gears a bit. Yesterday we had Kevin Hart here talking about the roast and a ton of different things and it's caused some conversation as well. Uh, one of the people who have brought responded now is Stephen Jackson. Now, when Kevin Hart was here, if you guys did not catch the interview, he talked about picking up the phone and calling Stephen Jackson to let him know that Tony Hitchcliffe had made that George Floyd joke. Let's take a listen to Kevin Hart when he was here.
DJ Envy
I didn't disrespect the family.
Angela Yee
Showed up for the family when it
DJ Envy
happened, made sure that the family felt
Angela Yee
supported, made sure that all things there were actually cool behind the scenes.
DJ Envy
Just as an example, know the one
Angela Yee
person that I talked to, Stephen Jackson,
Charlamagne Tha God
I know he caught that because that's my.
Angela Yee
Hey, Stack, let me just call you man, so I can explain to you like the World of the roast. X, Y, and Z, we talk.
DJ Envy
I get it, Kev.
Angela Yee
We had a great conversation.
DJ Envy
Stack.
Angela Yee
Hey, Tony.
DJ Envy
Tony threw one out.
Angela Yee
There is this and this.
DJ Envy
But you do know that that's what this is.
Angela Yee
It's a roast. But I just want you to know from my side, that man is on his own.
Charlamagne Tha God
You ain't lead with that, Kev. You shouldn't lead with that the whole time.
DJ Envy
I don't need to.
Charlamagne Tha God
I just want to know. You can.
Angela Yee
I don't need to prove to people
Caller/Guest
that I give a. You do.
Angela Yee
No, I don't.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's just time. This one time. No.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, Stephen Jackson saw the interview, and he also responded, let's take a listen.
Charlamagne Tha God
Kev did reach out to me. I've been knowing Kev a long time, bro. It kind of came up as he made it sound like I agreed with the bull.
Angela Yee
The roast.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, I did not. I didn't agree with the joke. When he called me, he was basically telling me. Basically, I cut him off. I know what a roast is, but only thing I wanted to express to Kev was I would never laugh at no joke about dead people. Anytime somebody demeans the dead, it turns my stomach because it's the lowest thing you can do. When they made the jo jokes about his. About his family, that wasn't funny to me either. It shows that you're not as talented as you are when you got to pick on people that can't defend themselves. He just had to understand that that ain't everybody flavor. Everybody don't laugh at that because some of us still have morals. Am I mad at him? No, I ain't mad at him. He didn't say it. I saw. I sent a DM to the mother who said it. I didn't expect Kev to jump up there and say, no, no. My hate is directed strictly at. Who said. It's very accurate, Cap, you know, I still.
DJ Envy
People. I see people still mad at Kev, but, yeah, it was a roast. Comedian said it. I get it. I didn't think it was funny. I still don't think it's funny, but I don't.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't believe in joking. On violent, tragic death, you know, I mean, whether it's George, Floyd, Charlie Kirk, you know, Cheryl Underwood's husband committed suicide. Pete Davidson's Daddy died in 9 11. I don't agree with none of it, but, you know.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, well, I think at this point now, I mean, maybe we move on from the conversation, but, I mean, the
Charlamagne Tha God
algo bosses are eating good off this. The algorithm bosses are eating good.
DJ Envy
Off this, are still hurt by it. People are still. Even though I didn't find it funny.
Angela Yee
And.
DJ Envy
And. And you know how I feel about it. People are still upset at Kev about it was funny. You gotta allow people to be upset.
Lauren LaRosa
I think you allow people to be upset. I just. I just. I guess at what point. Because we're having a conversation, but, like, where does it get. When do we get to a point where we are like, okay, we can't change. It happened. The rose happened. Now, like, it's not like.
Charlamagne Tha God
I get what you're saying, but people will move on to something, though. Yeah. Like that as well. They just need something else to be outraged about because couple.
Angela Yee
Something else need to happen.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's all. That's all. That's all.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. Well, that's the latest for the hour. When we come back in the next latest, Lil Wayne is secretly married.
Angela Yee
Oh, my God.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. Some things happen.
Charlamagne Tha God
No more, Lauren.
Angela Yee
Thank you.
DJ Envy
All right, well, we'll tell each other
Charlamagne Tha God
all about next hour.
DJ Envy
Everybody else, when we come back, we got front page news. Mimi will be joining us, so don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get back in some front page news. Start off with some quick sports. Conference finals last night, OKC beat the Spurs 127, 114. They lead the series 3 2.
Charlamagne Tha God
New York Knick fans, y' all better pray that the spurs win the next game. Okay? You should want that series to go seven because it gives the Knicks more rest.
DJ Envy
Yeah. So we need as much rest and much of a break as we as we could get. So rest those legs.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't like when you say we. You ain't out there playing with him.
Angela Yee
He definitely be sounding like we on the team.
Lauren LaRosa
He on the team.
DJ Envy
We need to much rest we can get.
Charlamagne Tha God
We got to rest. My leg. Shut up.
DJ Envy
I. I am on the team. I am on the team. And all New York Knick fans are on the team.
Caller/Guest
Okay.
DJ Envy
All right. What's up, Mimi?
Mimi Brown
Good morning, y'.
Lauren LaRosa
All.
Mimi Brown
How y' all doing this hour?
Caller/Guest
Good.
Mimi Brown
Good. Okay, so we start this hour with election updates out of Texas. Now, this is the state that has become ground zero for the national fight over redistricting. And Tuesday night, last night, several major races that. That played out in that battle across the state. So Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, he easily defeated longtime senator John Coryn in the Republican Senate primary. That's a major victory for President Trump who endorsed Paxton in the race. Now this race is expected though to get ugly fast. Paxton, he has spent years surrounded by controversy, including security fraud charges, impeachment by fellow Texas Republicans and accusations of corruptions and abuse of office, all of which he denies. But he now heads into the general election and that matchup, he will go against Democratic State representative James Tellarico in November in Telorico. He wasted no time last night coming for Paxton after the results came in. Let's take a listen.
DJ Envy
Something just happened in Texas.
Charlamagne Tha God
The most corrupt politician in America just became the Republican nominee for the United States Senate. Three years ago, Ken Paxton was impeached by his own party for using his public office to enrich himself and his donors at the expense of the people. For 50 years, mega donors and their puppet politicians like Ken Paxton have stolen from us. Ken Paxton has gotten away with it. They've all gotten away with it. But that ends this year. I'm shocked that people still think corruption is a deal breaker in an election. What era are they in?
Mimi Brown
I mean, if you don't stand for something, Char, what, what are you, what are we going to stand?
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm with you. I'm just saying the bar has been set in the highest seat in the land, which is the presidency. So why do you expect people to care in a local election action?
Mimi Brown
There are some decent people in the world who I would assume do care about corruption and all the things that he's being accused of.
Charlamagne Tha God
So why did he win?
Caller/Guest
Well, that's.
Lauren LaRosa
Listen, listen.
Mimi Brown
Okay, stop making good points. I understand what you're saying, but we
Lauren LaRosa
will see what happens.
Mimi Brown
He's gonna go against Telo. And so we will see because Telo has a lot of momentum behind him as well. And so whoever wins that seat, they will hold the Jasmine Crockett seat actually in, in Congress going. Or is it Jasmine Crockett? No, it's not Jasmine Crockett's seat. It is John Corwin seat. But Talarico went against Jasmine Crockett and that's how we got Talarico. So yes.
Lauren LaRosa
All right.
Mimi Brown
And really quickly, Meanwhile in Houston, 38 year old Congressman Christian Menifee, he defeated longtime congressman Al Green. You know, Al Green has been vocal. He tried to impeach Trump, he's introduced articles of impeachment. But that race caught national attention because Republicans redrew Al Green seat in Texas, forcing him into a runoff with Christian Minifee and putting those two Democrats head to head. And in Dallas, former congressman Colin Allred, he Also won a Democratic runoff in a newly redrawn district last night. So a lot of wins for Democrats last night in Texas.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, it's interesting. I like Congressman Al Green. He's been up here at the Breakfast Club. We've had great conversations with him. But I saw a lot of people happy because they were saying that he was. He's. He's old and they wanted somebody more youthful.
Caller/Guest
Yes.
Mimi Brown
I believe that Christian Menifee is 38 and Congressman Al Gravian is in his 70s. And so they do want to usher in, you know, that new generation of. Of congressmen, new ideas. So. Yes, definitely. But to lose your seat to redistricting, I think in this climate, still feels a little different.
Charlamagne Tha God
Absolutely.
Mimi Brown
And switching gears just a little bit, the Supreme Court is allowing former NFL coach, or. Excuse me, is he still a coach, Brian Flores. Right. Or is he. He is the defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings. Right.
Angela Yee
Brian, this is why they don't like women talking about sports up here.
Charlamagne Tha God
Is he.
Caller/Guest
I don't know.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, I think he is.
Mimi Brown
I think he is.
Angela Yee
Yeah, he's Dolphins re said.
Charlamagne Tha God
So.
Mimi Brown
He used to coach the Dolphins. But let me see.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, he is the defensive coordinator for the Vikings. Yes.
Mimi Brown
See, Jess, my bad.
Angela Yee
I mean, you was asking, like, hold up.
State Farm Announcer
Wait.
Lauren LaRosa
Do I know this or.
Angela Yee
No, but, you know, they always tripping about women, talking about sports, girls style.
Mimi Brown
That's okay. Sorry.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, you're right, Mimi.
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
DJ Envy
Yeah. They extended his contract in 2026, January 21st. Yep, you're right.
Mimi Brown
Okay. Okay. I thought so.
Lauren LaRosa
All right, so the.
Mimi Brown
So the Supreme Court is allowing him to keep moving forward with his racial discrimination lawsuit against the NFL and several teams. So. So the NFL wanted this case handled privately through the lead controlled arbitration instead of an open court. But the Supreme Court, they declined to step in, meaning Flores can continue fighting the case publicly in federal court. So Flores, who was black and currently the defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings, he sued the NFL in 2022. He accused the Leave the league of discriminatory hiring practices against black coaches and executives. So he claims the Miami Dolphins, they unfairly fired him after a winning streak. And he says that teams like the Giants and the Broncos, they conducted what he. He describes as sham interviews, saying that what they did was to satisfy the NFL's Rooney Rule, which required teams to interview minority candidates for top jobs. And one of the biggest moments in this lawsuit, it involves a text message that Florence, Florence says that he received from former Patriots coach Bill Belichick, who accidentally congratulated him after getting the Giants job days before Flora says that he even interviewed for that job. So he says that that proves that they had already had another candidate in mind before he even walked into the room. And so he is now suing them for saying that this. Those were sham interviews. The NFL, they are denying these allegations and says diversity remains important to the league.
Angela Yee
That is so crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
She not even listening to you.
DJ Envy
She don't know what she say something.
Charlamagne Tha God
She just wanted to chime. I don't know what the hell you just said. It's crazy. That was crazy, Jess. That was unnecessary. You could have just remained silent. That's so crazy. What's so crazy, Jess? Now watch this. What's so crazy?
Angela Yee
Because he already had other. Another candidate in mind before the other guy walked in the room. Like, what?
Mimi Brown
Yes. Point of it, though, right? That's the point.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, good.
Mimi Brown
Thank you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Mimi Brown

DJ Envy
All right, well, thank you, Mimi. Now let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Steve Harvey was recently doing an interview and talking about his daughter dating. Do we have the audio? Let's play it.
Steve Harvey
I had a boy one time told me, I told him, I said, look, man, I don't really think you right for my daughter. This dude told me, he said, Mr. Harvey, with all due respect, I don't think that decision is yours to make. I said, hey, homie, let me explain something to you. That gate you came through down there, everything on this side of the gate belonged to me, me, including her. Now let me show you how this gonna work. Your car can never come on this side of the gate again. My daughter is not allowed to walk outside the gate to get in cars. So now let's start there. And secondly, he said, well, Mr. Harvey, I'm gonna continue to see her. I said, ain't no problem. Then I'm gonna have you killed.
DJ Envy
That was one on one with Chris Fay. But the question is 800-585-1051. From the beginning of that conversation, can you control who your daughter dates?
Angela Yee
Hell, no.
Charlamagne Tha God
No.
Angela Yee
And I even like how the guy even went to him. I mean, respectfully, this ain't your decision, like. Cause obviously the daughter wants to date the dude. You feel me? Like, you, you can't control who your daughter or son, but you can't control who your daughter dates.
DJ Envy
I just, I just wanted to know if. If father's out there, can you control who your daughter dates? That's what I was doing with it. 800-585-1-051. Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's topic time.
DJ Envy
Call 800-5851-051.
Charlamagne Tha God
To join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. If you're just joining us, we open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Can you control who your daughter dates? Now this conversation comes from Chris Fay's interview with Steve Harvey. It was a one on one, and this is what Steve Harvey said.
Steve Harvey
I had a boy one time, told me, I told him, I said, look, man, I don't really think you right for my daughter. This dude told me, he said, Mr. Harvey, with all due respect, I don't think that decision is yours to make. I said, hey, homie, let me explain something to you. That gate you came through down there, everything on this side of the gate belonged to me, including her. Now let me show you how this gonna work. Your car can never come on this side of the gate again. My daughter is not allowed to walk outside the gate to get in cars. So now let's start there. And secondly, he said, well, Mr. Harvey, I'm gonna continue to see her. I said, there ain't no problem. Then I'm gonna have you killed.
DJ Envy
So we're asking, can you control who your daughter dates? Now, I know Charlamagne. And you both said, no.
Angela Yee
Yeah, you can't.
DJ Envy
I disagree.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm gonna tell you why you can't control your daughter.
DJ Envy
If your daughter has enough respect for you and y' all have a tight relationship and you told your daughter they shouldn't be dating that person, nine times out of 10, if your daughter has a love and, and a respect and y' all have a bond, they will listen to you. Well, I think if I tell Madison, I don't think she should be dating somebody for whatever reason. I think Madison a thousand percent will listen to me and her mom.
Charlamagne Tha God
I think she'll take it into consideration. I think all of our daughters will take it into consideration, but they're still gonna Put their hand on that stove and probably get burned. And they realize, damn, daddy was right.
Angela Yee
Yeah. Make that decision. I can speak from it, from experience. Like, when I met Rome, my father did not like Jerome. Like he was saying. Like, yo, he's not, he, he's, he's, he's in competition with you. He's like a diva. He want to be cuter than you, sexier than you and all that. Right, right. But no, but he was just like, nah, I don't, and, and I don't think he's good for you. Like, you know, and I took into consideration what my father said because I was very close, still very close with my dad, like.
Charlamagne Tha God
But you still had unprotected sex.
Angela Yee
I wanted to put Andy and she now. But I'm saying I, I, he, he, he couldn't control who I dated.
DJ Envy
That's right.
Angela Yee
You know what I'm saying now he can control who I bought home because some niggas I just wasn't going to bring to my dad at all because I already knew he wouldn't approve. But I'm young.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, Jess, you just said a book.
Angela Yee
What?
Charlamagne Tha God
You can't control who your daughter dates, but you can control who she brings to your house? Of course. Absolutely. That's two different things.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
And that's what Steve Harvey is doing right now. He's controlling who, he's controlling his house. Yeah, you can't control your daughter date.
Angela Yee
Exactly.
DJ Envy
Let's go to the phone lines. Hello? Who's this?
Caller/Guest
Hey, this mailman.
DJ Envy
Mailman, what's up? Talk to him.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't like what you delivering to my daughter. House.
Caller/Guest
Hey, man, I just telling her this past weekend, I took my daughter, my 16 year old daughter on her first date. You know, they met at the mall, you know, so I told her, you know, I told her in the past I wanted to meet the guy, you know, so we met, took, talk to him, you know, you know, I'm not the one that's gonna be suiting all these threats like, like Steve Harvey, because mentally unstable dude ain't gonna, ain't gonna pay no attention to stuff like that anyway. But I just told him, you know, y' all enjoy yourselves, take care of my baby. Shook his hand and, you know, and what's understood don't need to be explained.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right. It's very important to let you know, guys know, like, all right, she ain't alone in this world.
DJ Envy
That's right.
Charlamagne Tha God
She got a whole daddy out here that's ready to ride. Okay, so treat My baby, right?
Caller/Guest
Hello?
DJ Envy
Who's this?
Caller/Guest
Hey, this is Jamal. What's going on, brother?
Charlamagne Tha God
What's up, my brother?
Caller/Guest
Ain't nothing much. Good morning.
DJ Envy
Good. Brother, can you control who your daughter dates, bro?
Lauren LaRosa
No.
Caller/Guest
Because people gonna, you know, they gonna date who they like. But you can leave example, you know, you can set the tone by demonstrating, you know. But I got two daughters. All y' all got, you know, envy Charlie. Y' all got daughters.
Charlamagne Tha God
So, yes, sir, it's up to us
Caller/Guest
to demonstrate, you know, lead by example and show how done what a man should be doing for them.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Caller/Guest
And I think that's the best way you can, you know, at least cut down on some of the BS on, you know who. Your daughter, you know.
DJ Envy
You know what, Jamal? I'm thinking about what you're saying, right? Maybe I'm stupid and ignorant when it comes to it, but my daughters are so close to me. Like, when I say close to me, I mean my daughters, if I'm going, if I'm outside washing the car, if I'm going to the grocery store, if I'm going wherever, my daughters want to be there, right? They want to. They want to learn, they want to understand. They want to ask a million one question questions. If I. And this is just me, maybe it's just me being stupid. But if I tell my daughter, that guy is not good for you. Don't date him, I really completely think my daughters be like, nah. My dad said nah. My dad loves me. My dad guy the right way. I'm not gonna do it. I really feel that way.
Angela Yee
It's different. Yeah. You know, it's just different with everybody. I believe the same thing about your daughters. You are very, very close with your daughters. And they. They do me. Nah. See what this is about? I'm close to my dad, but I'm saying, I'm saying, like, nah, I'm gonna see and then I'm gonna come back and tell you.
Charlamagne Tha God
You right, exactly.
Angela Yee
But I'm. I'mma go and test test the waters myself.
Charlamagne Tha God
You can't control what no person does, man. You can't. As much as your daughter loves you, you cannot control what she does.
DJ Envy
I don't know. I mean, my daughters is the same daughter that send me their clothes every day to dad, how does it look when I go to school? Like, is this fly enough or should I? Like, it's the know you like to
Charlamagne Tha God
cross dress at home.
Angela Yee
Hey, yo, exactly.
DJ Envy
I don't like the cross dress. Don't say exactly. Don't agree with him.
Angela Yee
All Right.
DJ Envy
If you're just joining us, we're talking about Steve Harvey. He recently did an interview and during the interview he was talking about controlling who his daughters date. It was one on one with Chris Fade. This is what he said.
Steve Harvey
Had a boy one time told me, I told him, I said, look man, I don't really think you right for my daughter. This dude told me, he said, Mr. Harvey, with all due respect, I don't think that decision is yours to make. I said, hey, homie, let me explain something to you. That gate you came through down there, everything on this side of the gate belonged to me, including her. Now let me show you how this gonna work. Your car can never come on this side of the gate again. My daughter is not allowed to walk outside the gate to get in cars. So now let's start there. And secondly, he said, well, Mr. Harvey, I'm gonna continue to see her. I said, there ain't no problem. Then I'm gonna have you killed.
DJ Envy
So we're asking 800-585-1051 can you control who your daughter dates? Hello, who's this?
Caller/Guest
Hello. This is Cisco.
DJ Envy
Cisco, what's up?
Caller/Guest
Y.
DJ Envy
Good morning.
Angela Yee
Yo, what's up?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, he flirting with you, Cisco. Cisco. He flirting with you. Don't do that. He flirting with you, Cisco. Flirting with you, Cisco.
DJ Envy
Cisco.
Charlamagne Tha God
Talk about, can you, can you control who your daddy dates, Cisco? That's what any want to know.
Caller/Guest
My daddy date. I can't control that man at all.
DJ Envy
Can you control who you're doing today's man?
Caller/Guest
Nah, man, I don't think you can control who your daughter dates. I think you can set the best example for what they should be looking out for.
DJ Envy
Right?
Charlamagne Tha God
You can do your best.
Caller/Guest
Well, that's one of those situations where you have to lead by example basically their entire life so that you give them a standard to, to look up to and, and that's, that's what they're going to expect from the next match. Man, I'm gonna say, I'm gonna tell you right now, I have two daughters and I am gonna make it the hardest possible to be able to retain them. It's gonna be easy to get their attention for a week, two weeks, but are you going to be able to do this? As far as longevity goes, are you going to be able to do this, keep her happy, be able to spoil her the same way that her father will? Because that's what's going to be acceptable.
DJ Envy
I really feel though, if you in your daughter's life, like not just in Your life. Because some people. Yeah, I'm in my daughter's life. But I mean, like. Like being there for your daughter when they go to school, go to college, you know, take them out to lunches, really be there. Be that confident and heavily involved in their relationship, I think that they would listen to you because you're almost like one of their closest friends that they trust. And if. If dad says this, and dad always looks out for me, and dad makes sure I'm good, and I trust Dad.
Angela Yee
I think.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, I think you need to learn the serenity prayer. God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Difference. You cannot control who your daughter dates. She will listen to you, okay? She will take your words into consideration. But who she want to be with is who she want to be with.
DJ Envy
Hello? Who's this?
Caller/Guest
What's going on?
Charlamagne Tha God
What's up?
DJ Envy
Talk to us.
Caller/Guest
The state with the best food, Jer.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, well, South Carolina got something to say about that?
Caller/Guest
Wait, let me say.
Charlamagne Tha God
Let me say this. Let me say this.
Caller/Guest
Tell me one state outside of Louisiana that you can go to any state in America. You heard me. And be able to say restaurants that say, like, Louisiana. This, like, Asian is like New Orleans is. You ain't gonna catch no like. Like Baltimore is.
Charlamagne Tha God
South Carolina, Especially Geechee Gullah cuisine, especially low country cuisine.
DJ Envy
Louisiana gumbo, Louisiana season.
Charlamagne Tha God
South Carolina, y'.
Caller/Guest
All.
Charlamagne Tha God
Y' all. Especially low country cuisine. You could be all over the country and be like, low country cuisine, especially Charleston, South Carolina.
Angela Yee
Say nothing. Why you had to say something about Baltimore? We love Louisiana food.
Caller/Guest
That's what I talk about.
Charlamagne Tha God
But look, check this out.
Caller/Guest
Check this out. This is what I feel about the daughter situation. No, you cannot control who it is your daughter wants to date or see or anything like that. Hopefully, you have been influential enough in her life to be able to give her the, you know, show her the platform of what type of man she needs to have in her life. Because most times, the daddy is the daughter's first love.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. So hopefully, you know, you laid out
Caller/Guest
that platform for her to be able to see. I want a man like this now at the end of the day. Hey, you do.
State Farm Announcer
Been putting his hands on her, dude.
Caller/Guest
Hey, look, look. That. I feel. That's when you should step in.
DJ Envy
Like.
Caller/Guest
Like y' all said, I feel. I think we need more content to that Steve Harvey situation to know what was going on. But now you can't control who up in that girl life. Just hopefully you planted the right seeds and watered it enough. And you. And she needs to show her what it is. She needs to have you right. Y' all be easy out there, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
Appreciate you, too.
Angela Yee
Appreciate that.
DJ Envy
He said what he said. He said, all right.
Charlamagne Tha God
Y' all be easy out there.
DJ Envy
I gotta go now. Yeah, bye.
Angela Yee
I'm about to go eat now.
DJ Envy
What's the moral of the story? If there is a mortgage tomorrow, you
Charlamagne Tha God
can't control who your daughter dates. Okay? That's it. Simple as that. And you need to put that right up there with your serenity prayer. God, grant me the serenity to accept things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. You better be wise enough to know you cannot control who your daughter is. All you can do is offer input. That's it.
Angela Yee
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
The heart wants what the heart wants. And I only want to think about the other parts of the body that want what they want.
Angela Yee
That's just what it. That's what it be sometimes. Like, we need a.
DJ Envy
We need a blood pressure machine up here because y' all be ready. My blood pressure all morning. Y' all crazy. This place is crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know you sleep with somebody daughter every night. You do know that, right? You do know your wife had. Your wife got a daddy, right?
DJ Envy
But I was a good guy.
Charlamagne Tha God
It don't matter.
Angela Yee
You was a good guy.
Charlamagne Tha God
You think he cared whether or not you was a good guy? He cared about what his daughter was doing at 16, 17 with that little beige boy down the road from Queens. From Queens that I thought was gay, but now he dating my daughter.
DJ Envy
You know what?
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what?
DJ Envy
Damn.
Angela Yee
I thought was gay back in the day like that.
DJ Envy
That's not funny. Nobody thought I was gay.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nobody.
DJ Envy

Lauren LaRosa
Hey y', all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa and I used to think that if something worked for everybody else, it should work for me too. So I was just layering products on, trying every routine I saw online and my hair just stayed dry. Undefined. And honestly, it was frustrating. It felt like I was doing everything right but getting no results.
Angela Yee
Thoughts.
Lauren LaRosa
What I had to unlearn is that hair isn't one size fits all. Once I started focusing on my hair and when I actually need it, everything changed. My hair felt softer, stronger, and I finally started seeing real growth. That's why I love Baskin Lather. Their products are made specifically for textured hair and you can feel the difference. The stimulating scalp and hair bomb keeps my hair hydrated without the heavy greasy feel and it helps reduce breakage while adding shine. And the hydrating hair mix this. Oh, it's perfect for keeping my curls soft, detangled and refreshed, especially in protective styles. I have thick textured hair that leans very dry. So moisture and strength are everything for me and I've definitely seen an improvement in both even their before and after results. You can tell it's real growth and healthier hair and I love the fact that it's a black owned, family operated brand that started from a real need and real care. Explore viral bestsellers and products of healthier hair for all types from Baskin lather. Go to baskinlatherco.com and use code Breakfast Club for 20 off.

Mimi Brown

Lauren LaRosa
Take me through that. Take me through there.
DJ Envy
She gone.
Charlamagne Tha God
The latest with Lauren on the Breakfast Club. Ll Cool. Talk to me.
Lauren LaRosa
All right, y'.
Caller/Guest
All.
Lauren LaRosa
So now this story I've been trying to confirm all day yesterday since it broke and even this morning. But I'm going off sources here. Now these are sources that are TMZ sources, not mine. These sources.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, don't act like you a used to work for TMZ now. Now all of a sudden there was
DJ Envy
a tm, she put a line in the sand.
Charlamagne Tha God
Used to be you because.
Lauren LaRosa
No, no, no, I, I have nothing against sources. I'mma call and get a source any day of the week. But I'm like to normally confirm certain things a second time and not just rely on other people's sources when it's certain stories.
Charlamagne Tha God
Good.
Lauren LaRosa
So there's a story that is circulating right now per tmz. They broke the story. They say that they spoke to a direct source that is telling them that Lil Wayne is officially off the market. He secretly got engaged. So they're alleging that he got engaged to a woman from Indiana. They say that he popped the question to her earlier this year and that she's a woman in her 20s. 20s. Now we don't know who the woman is. We don't know any of the information. But yeah. So he is engaged allegedly.
Angela Yee
And well, congratulations. Allegedly.
Lauren LaRosa
If it's a secret though, I would be I. I mean, not anymore. I'd be pissed off. So if there is more to this and I can get any more information about what did and did not happen, I'll give you guys some.
DJ Envy
I'm gonna talk about age online that. That wasn't confirmed or not like that.
Caller/Guest
Right?
DJ Envy
Her age?
Lauren LaRosa
Well, there's. That's what I'm saying. There's sources saying that she's a woman in her 20s, but I. I can't confirm it because I don't know who the woman is. I. I haven' speak to anybody, but I have reached out to people on Wayne's side a couple times. So if there's updates there, I'll bring it back here.
DJ Envy
Gotcha.
Lauren LaRosa
Now, speaking of something else that was circulating yesterday. So meek Mill in LeBron and Nike are. Are at odds. And I didn't even know that this was a thing, but Meek let us know yesterday. So Meek basically got on X and he called out Nike for using his song album title for a new collection that they are doing with LeBron time. Now, this collection is called Nike LeBron 23 and it was named after Dreams and Nightmares, which we know is Meek Mill song. Now I printed out some photos for you guys. So they have a T shirt that they're doing, and on the front of the T shirt there's artwork. There is the name Dreams and Nightmares. And on the back there is also Dreams and Nightmares and a few different dates of releases. So what Meek is saying is that Nike came in and they swooped, you know, a company or a trademark that he owns and was able to now produce this for LeBron. He took the X yesterday and said, so Nike just gonna take my whole brand and mash it up with LeBron. What is this? Why would anyone holler? Why would anybody holler at me about this? I thought the sneakers were fake because they started to circulate online, but they're actually real. The sneakers are $235. And this collection is listed on Nike's page.
Charlamagne Tha God
Does Meek on the Dreams and Nightmare.
Lauren LaRosa
So there is a Dreams and Nightmares LLC and some trademark things that are listed that that is to. Is believed to be Meeks. But the issue with that is, you
Charlamagne Tha God
know, it's not under sneakers and apparel.
Lauren LaRosa
So when you file for these trademarks, they have different classes of goods and services that you say, hey, any. No one can do T shirts, Nobody can do sneakers, whatever. According to what you're able to find publicly on uspto, which is what shows you what you legally own. He acts for the Coverage of sneakers, but not of T shirts. So, like the apparel side of it when it comes to the T shirt. So. And that was just filed eight days ago, the sneaker conversation. So there.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, wow, all these years of dreams and nightmares. He just fade.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, no, he owned the LLC already. But I'm talking about, you know, how you can act. You can add on different classes and services under the. The company that you own. There, there.
Angela Yee
Crazy.
DJ Envy
But they recopied his likeness, though.
Angela Yee
And yeah, look at the fact that the face.
DJ Envy
Half his face, half the line, half LeBron, half the lion. That's recop. So regardless. Regardless if he filed or not, he can. He can sue for that. Now, I would have waited for them to say sell it, because once they.
Charlamagne Tha God
Once you put it, I mean, it's
Lauren LaRosa
online, it's listed for people to go and buy. It's active.
Charlamagne Tha God
But also, on another Note, just culturally, LeBron is supposed to look at this and be like, nah, that's Meek.
Angela Yee
Right?
Charlamagne Tha God
You know what I'm saying? Or somebody on LeBron's team is supposed to be like, nah, that's Meek. We can't do this. Like, we gotta holl at Meek and have me a part of this.
DJ Envy
Let's collab with Meek with this.
Charlamagne Tha God
Because collaboration, Meek, Sting.
DJ Envy
I mean, even the back way, it looks like the dates of the US Tour dates.
Angela Yee
About damn time response to this, what you've been waiting for. Like, come on now.
Lauren LaRosa
And you know that LeBron is also. Everybody points to him as like, one of the people that, like, has really tapped into all the music and the things. So there's a miscommunication.
Charlamagne Tha God
Lyrics, huh?
Angela Yee
Oh, my God, people.
Caller/Guest
Lyrics.
Charlamagne Tha God
I know he know songs when he don't.
Angela Yee
My God.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes. He's. He's. He's supposed to look at this. Or somebody on LeBron's team that is culturally competent and say, nah, we can't do this.
DJ Envy
This is Meek Mill, somebody that you
Angela Yee
don't do curiosity and they don't never know the words.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, hopefully this leads to a conversation that can clear some things up. Because as I mentioned, Meek's LLC has tried to file for trademarks and different things of the nature mix. Confused. LeBron is here. So hopefully they get on the phone and they figure out what's going on
DJ Envy
now as you definitely gotta fix that.
Lauren LaRosa
As we wrap the hour, we talked about Ray J yesterday and him being involved in that random MMA fight and the fact that he has health conditions. So we were all confused. Well, yesterday, Ray J checked himself into a hospital in Las Vegas. This was after the knockout by Super Hot Fire during that fight. So sources close to Ray J are telling reporters tmz that he went to the hospital two hours after the event on Saturday. And they said that he went to the hospital. He's been there for two days because doctors are running tests on him, trying to figure out what was wrong. They're investigating whether Ray J had a concussion and if he's experiencing issues with his heart beating slower following this fight. I mean, we know that he was experiencing heart issues since, what, around, like, December, January, and decided to do that fight. But that was a big question that everybody had. Like, how physically are you even able? And why would you do this? So.
Angela Yee
And then, not for nothing, did you see that hit? Like, when Super Fire, super high Fire hit him? Like, I wouldn't doubt that he has a concussion after that. That it was one of them punches. I think that was the one that gave him the knot. Like, he hit that nigga hard.
Lauren LaRosa
Like, real hard. Well, right there was.
Angela Yee
That thing is not a real fight fighter at all. I mean, like, not a professional.
Lauren LaRosa
You know, even if he had trained the right way, it's just he should.
DJ Envy
There is no right way. You're having heart problems. Yeah, you talked about before that you gotta whatever in your heart to make sure that you're okay. You should not be in the ring fighting.
Angela Yee
Your heart was just operating at 25.
DJ Envy
Like, what are we two months talking about?
Charlamagne Tha God
Once again, y' all still are not asking the most important question.
Angela Yee
What happened?
Charlamagne Tha God
Why do just be waking up to do anything?
Lauren LaRosa
No idea.
Angela Yee
Oh, you closer to Ray J. To me. You need to ask him.
Lauren LaRosa
I've called him a couple times.
Charlamagne Tha God
I can't figure out this is a larger thing than just rage.
DJ Envy
He don't need the money.
Charlamagne Tha God
Every day of our lives.
Angela Yee
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Wake up to do anything.
Angela Yee
Anything.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, just any old day.
DJ Envy
He just said his heart was. Was only working at 25. It was in bad shape. He was. He was performing with the heart monitor on. Yes, but you get in the ring. Nah, just you get to the point where it's just like, you know what stupid is, what stupid does.
Charlamagne Tha God
Ray J don't know what he doing. He just out here giving it up.
Angela Yee
I know that's right. I know that's right.
Lauren LaRosa
That was the latest for the hour. And in the next hour, we are going to be coming back with some things. We'll be getting into some topics next hour because there's a lot that we need to clear up with some more news and we'll tell you guys what that is in the next latest.
DJ Envy
All right, you need to call your friend Charlotte.
Lauren LaRosa
I've called him and he answered for me, so maybe he'll answer for you, because I'm confused. He needs to go relax.
Caller/Guest
Oh, my God.
Angela Yee
Well, happy birthday, Jada. Kiss he 51, y'.
Charlamagne Tha God
All salute the kiss.
Angela Yee
Yes.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, go J. That was good.
DJ Envy
Now shout. Who you giving that donkey to?
Charlamagne Tha God
Man? Man. Landlords are out here abusing their power, and we going to talk about it. There's a landlord in Westland, Michigan who needs to come to the front of the congregation. We would like to have a word with him. What would you do if your landlord was walking around butt naked in your kitchen making a sandwich?
Angela Yee
Depending on what they look like. Like, first of all. All right, now, what you doing here? I a got pay rent right now.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, no, no.
Angela Yee
This before, obviously. This before I was married, actually.
DJ Envy
Did you pay the rent? That's the question. Mr. Breakfast
Charlamagne Tha God
made it.
Angela Yee
Damn the he haw again.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's time for donkey of the day. I ain't trying to be donkey today no more. They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I. I'm not making these people do these things. Call donkey of the day.
Angela Yee
And it really caught me off guard. Damn Charlemagne. Who got the donkey of the day today?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes. Donkey today for Wednesday, May 27, goes to a landlord in Westland, Michigan. Now, for whatever reason, Fox 2 in Detroit doesn't give his name, even though they run down on him at his house. Okay. In Canton Township to confront him about what he did. See, there is a man named Javon Crawford dropping a clue. Bumps with Javon Crawford. Salute to him and his wife. They rent a home in Westland and they called their landlord to do some house repairs. Okay. They needed the landlord to remove some dead birds from the attic, but instead, the landlord decided to come over and lay some pipe. Okay. He decided that instead of removing birds from the attic, he wanted to bring one over and snake her drink. Okay. He wanted to grease some hinges. Okay. Yes. This landlord decided that there was a stud that needed to be naked nailed. I don't know if she was. I'm sorry. I don't even know why I said that. Okay? What do you mean Uncle Charlotte was a stud that needed to be nailed? Well, let's go to Fox 2 Detroit for the report, please. Only he walked back and forth through here naked.
Angela Yee
Their landlord was supposed to be removing
Lauren LaRosa
dead birds from the attic.
Angela Yee
Instead, he was giving a lesson on the birds and the bees on camera.
Lauren LaRosa
So Right now, we're kind of standing
Angela Yee
at the scene of the crime.
Charlamagne Tha God
What did you guys do?
Lauren LaRosa
Did you clean before you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Most definitely. My wife, she's germaphobic, so I had to most definitely clean it before she even stepped in anywhere in this house, period.
Angela Yee
It allegedly happened Monday in Westland. While Javon Crawford and his wife were in the hospital with his sick grandma. His wife started getting alerts from their security cameras on her phone.
Charlamagne Tha God
She just pointed the phone to me, and I seen him just doing what he was doing right here in our house. Was it live? Timestamped and everything?
Lauren LaRosa
Bonnet down, legs up for about an hour.
Angela Yee
I'm wondering too, if this guy's done this before. He seems so comfortable.
Charlamagne Tha God
Too comfortable. Too comfortable. Sorry.
DJ Envy
I know for a fact that somebody
Charlamagne Tha God
that comfortable, what else could be done?
Lauren LaRosa
That landlord has some explaining to do.
Angela Yee
We tracked him to his Canton Township home.
Lauren LaRosa
Is this you naked in a tenant's home?
Angela Yee
What?
Lauren LaRosa
The Crawfords have handed that X rated
Angela Yee
film over to police. How hard is it going to be next month to cut that check to him?
Charlamagne Tha God
It's going to be hard. I'm probably going to write some languages
DJ Envy
on the back of the check for him. The.
Charlamagne Tha God
The transfer.
Angela Yee
A little special.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, special memo. You know, it's hard to get landlords to fix things, okay? Sometimes they don't do enough. This landlord was doing too much. And I'm gonna tell you something else. Y' all really need to go watch that video. This landlord was so out of shape, and they said he was piping it down for an hour.
DJ Envy
I was thinking the same stuff.
Charlamagne Tha God
You gotta step your G hour. Go look at. Go look at how this man is built and you be like a damn an hour. You gotta step your game up. Now, Javon, I can understand why you're upset, okay? You asked your landlord to come in and remove some birds, and he decided, no, actually, I'm gonna bring one in your house house and drill a few holes. Okay? This landlord owns the house. And he was supposed to come in and just do some house repairs. Dear Mr. Landlord in Westland, Michigan. You were using the wrong power tool, buddy. Okay?
Caller/Guest
All right.
Charlamagne Tha God
I just needed some birds removed. Meanwhile, you came in and decided the back door had some cracks that needed to be filled. Now, what's interesting about this is they don't know if the landlord committed a crime or not. They are not sure if what took place is illegal legal because the landlord owns the house. Okay? It could be a possible act of trespassing. But he owns the house. But it's More likely a civil issue for violating portions of his lease agreement. Okay, that's what this whole story is. Violation, stupidity. But audacity. Or should I say the caucasity. Okay, you can't even call his colonization because he already owned the land. But the arrogance. All right, the abuse of power. Yeah, yeah, we know you own the house, but can you respect the fact that you are renting it out to someone? Not to mention, I don't know what made you want to pull out the tool belt in a residence that you don't live in. Okay, I don't know about y', all, but I'm scared of Airbnbs nowadays, okay? And other people's houses. I don't. If I don't live there. Please. Okay, People got ring cameras, nanny cams. Alexa, listening. You know they got refrigerators with surveillance cameras now, did y' all know that? That. Yes. Refrigerators that they supposed to monitor, like your food inventory, and they sync with your smartphone so you can look at the inside of your refrigerator while you're grocery shopping. I don't trust none of it. Okay? None of it. Not a refrigerator can testify in court if it wants to.
Caller/Guest
All right?
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay. There are too many cameras around for you to be letting your nuts hang in, technically, somebody else's residence. Okay? This man made a sandwich and bought his own pickle. Look at envy. Mouth watering. Standing one nut jacket in somebody else's kitchen. And then went to handle some pipe maintenance right after. And when the tenant confronted him and said, I got you on camera, guess what his response was. So I own a crib. I'm sure he said that. Some donkey today's just sell themselves. Please give this landlord in Westland the biggest he haw. I don't know why Fox 2 ain't say his name. Because they ran up on him outside his house. They just blurred his face.
Angela Yee
Face and this say so and walked up.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay, I'm kind of torn about this story, though, because it is unethical, but technically, he does own the house.
DJ Envy
Yeah. Play the music.
Angela Yee
And this ain't the first time this happened.
Charlamagne Tha God
I just. I just want to know why he decided he. He had to get. She had to get smashed right then and there.
Angela Yee
Yeah, I don't think this the first time that this happened. They've been doing this.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, yeah. And probably all his residency.
Angela Yee
Yeah, that probably is king.
DJ Envy
But the thing is, if you're a landlord, you own the house, you're still renting it out to somebody. You shouldn't be just walking in there, penis slinging all over the place.
Charlamagne Tha God
Abuse of power, man.
DJ Envy
Yes, but. Now let me ask you a question. I'm not saying that this is not the case, but let's say the tenant didn't pay rent and you behind on your rent.
Charlamagne Tha God
So what? He put her legs up in the head? What are you talking about?
DJ Envy
No, but if. If I'm the landlord and my tenant don't pay rent, I'm just walking around like my house, like, you shouldn't be here anyway because you ain't paying rent in months.
Charlamagne Tha God
He wouldn't care. He wouldn't care if the rent was up, it was paid or not. He. He's just. This is an abuser of power. He thinks because he's the landlord and he owns this residence, technically he can do whatever the hell he wants. You eating my lunch meat, you eating my bread, you made yourself a sandwich and you got some cheeks in my living room.
Angela Yee
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Come on, man.
DJ Envy
So we open up the phone.
Charlamagne Tha God
By the way, though, what a multitasker. That's scheduling, right? I got to do some house repairs. Okay. I'm going have her come over at this time. All right? I'm going to do the. These house repairs. I'm remove these birds, and I'm going to knock off real quick.
Angela Yee
How is he built?
Charlamagne Tha God
I want to see him.
Angela Yee
Yeah.
DJ Envy
So what is the question? Are we asking people what's the craziest thing a landlord has done in their house? Or. We're asking because he's wrong. This. He's completely wrong.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm asking, do y' all think this guy is wrong? Because they're saying he don't. They don't know if he committed a crime or not. They're saying it could be a civil issue.
Angela Yee
Oh, damn.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean, all right, is this a crime? It feels criminal.
DJ Envy
It feels. Definitely feels like.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, I'm not. I'm not lying.
DJ Envy
I was allowed to be in the house. House.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, I'm the landlord, but, you know, I was supposed to be. Clear violation, Right?
DJ Envy
But I didn't do it. Well, I was allowed to be in. I just had some poom poom while I was in there.
Angela Yee
Right. I mean, that's. That's still crazy, though, even if you think about it on the Airbnb type, right? Like, say if you go somewhere and you. You book an Airbnb and you go out or whatever, and the owner of the Airbnb come. You come back and you see, yo, smashing. And you're doing all that.
Lauren LaRosa
Is that.
DJ Envy
Yeah. Let's discuss 800-585-151? Yeah. Because, I mean, what if the girl got crabs? Not as crazy crabs running all through my crib.
Charlamagne Tha God
First of all, what you. I decided. I know you was born in 1900 and something. What the hell you talking about, crabs?
DJ Envy
Nobody got crabs no more.
Charlamagne Tha God
Nobody gets crazy. We don't even got hair on our things no more.
DJ Envy
All right, 5851051. Let's discuss. It's the Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God
Good morning. It's topic time. Call 800-585-1051 to join us with a discussion with the Breakfast Club. Talk about it.
DJ Envy
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if you're just joining us, Charlemagne gave donkey of the day.
State Farm Announcer
To who?
Charlamagne Tha God
There's a landlord in Westland, Michigan, who owned the house, got called over to do some repairs, but decided to bring some cheeks over and was smashing this young woman. I don't even know if she was young, but smashing this girl on the floor. And he got recorded by the. The house's ring camera or whatever. Whatever it was.
DJ Envy
Right. So the question is. 800-585-1051. Is this against the law? That's what you're asking?
Charlamagne Tha God
Is this because they're saying that they don't know if it is against the law? They're saying they don't know if he committed a crime because they said it's possible it could be trespassing, but it's probably more likely a civil issue for violating portions of the lease agreement.
DJ Envy
Yeah, because it wasn't really trespassing because they invited him in to fix something.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, it's his house. He owns the property.
DJ Envy
Yeah, but I'm still leasing it from you. Just can't walk in my house if
Charlamagne Tha God
I own the property. How can you really trespass on something? You on property.
Angela Yee
You own out to somebody. Tenants. Charlemagne, are y sure about this?
Caller/Guest
Yes.
DJ Envy
You just can't walk in somebody's house if I'm renting it, if I'm leasing it.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't know about that.
DJ Envy
You can't just walk in somebody else.
Charlamagne Tha God
He didn't just walk in. First of all, he didn't just walk in. He was invited to do repairs, and he owns the property.
Angela Yee
Right.
Charlamagne Tha God
So how is that trusting?
DJ Envy
Well, it's not trespassing because he was invited in. But what about that girl? That girl could be. I don't know who she is.
Angela Yee
Yeah, like, wait, like, he just bought her in there and just started. Started smashing her for an hour. That's crazy, y'.
Caller/Guest
All.
Angela Yee
And Then it was probably all funky in there when it came down.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's what he said. That's what. That's what Javon, who owns the house, said he had. You know, they had to do the Febreze and all of that. Yeah, the kitchen at Red Lobster.
DJ Envy
An hour's a long time on the floor. Your knees be hurting. But anyway, let's go to the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Hello? Who's this on the floor? He's at the floor, like the rug burn. What should I. Ashley, Ashley, talk to us, Ashley.
Charlamagne Tha God
Do you know who this landlord was?
Caller/Guest
No, I don't. But the initial reaction that I had was that man was cheating. Because why couldn't he just take the chick to his house?
Angela Yee
His own house?
Caller/Guest
That's true.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right.
Caller/Guest
So why he had to take her to somewhere else as if. Oh, babe, I'm working.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm about to go work on the
Caller/Guest
resident house and you have a whole lady in there smashing her.
Charlamagne Tha God
I think he was cheating too. But technically that isn't his house too, though.
Caller/Guest
Yeah, but he ain't right. Integrity all messed up.
Charlamagne Tha God
I agree.
DJ Envy
Thank you, Mama. Hello? Who's this?
Caller/Guest
What's up? What's up? Good morning. This is Amp.
DJ Envy
Hey, what's up?
Caller/Guest
What's good, man? That. That. On that subject, that happens all the time. I got a famous friend from Miami, you know, entertainer, and, you know, after the show, you know, Groovy is four, five in the morning. And part of his management team, you
Steve Harvey
know what I mean?
Caller/Guest
He was there and the groupies was there. And make a long story short, he owned property on Southeast somewhere. So after the club, you know, it's late, early in the morning, and you know, okay, let's go over here. So we're going over here. So I'm looking at this type of dude, his statue and the place we're going.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm like, damn, what are you doing over here?
Caller/Guest
He said, oh, I rent this out. This is my property. I think it's out of town. So everybody went in, went inside handed. They didn't. He locked up, cleaned up and walked
Charlamagne Tha God
out like nothing happened.
Caller/Guest
But that was back then when there wasn't too many cameras around and stuff like that. Like that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Damn.
Caller/Guest
Okay. Yeah, I stood on y' all have a bless. Morning, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you. So what did he just say? He said, the guy be taking people to other people's places.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, okay.
DJ Envy
Yeah, that's what he said.
Charlamagne Tha God
But that's that what happened here. This man owns this house. He's the landlord.
DJ Envy
It doesn't matter. You rent it out. Just because you own it and you rented out, you're not supposed to be back in this house. It's like Airbnb. If I rent your Airbnb, you just can't pull up on me on Saturday. What's up?
Angela Yee
This is normal behavior for him. He be smashing and cheating on his wife or girlfriend and all of his properties. I bet.
DJ Envy
I think it has to be some type of criminal. You just can't do what you want in my house.
Charlamagne Tha God
What they're saying is not. Because, number one, he owns the place. And they're not sure if what he did is illegal, because, like I said, he owns the house. And it's probably more of a civil issue for violating portions of his lease agreement. They're saying don't even know if it's trespassing. Cause it's his house.
DJ Envy
But what about the girl?
Charlamagne Tha God
He got called over. Well, she ain't got nothing to do with it.
DJ Envy
She trespasses.
Angela Yee
She got nothing with him. He bought in there.
Charlamagne Tha God
Don't nobody care about who. You can watch the video. You see them legs up in there? You don't even care who that is. It's all about the landlord.
DJ Envy
I'm more impressed that he went for an hour. That's a long time.
Angela Yee
He built. Is he white?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, he's definitely white.
Angela Yee
Cheeks was pink.
Charlamagne Tha God
I ain't see his cheeks. They had it blurred. You want to see the video?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Angela Yee
I ain't see the video.
Lauren LaRosa
See?
DJ Envy
Hello. Who's this?
Caller/Guest
Yo, this Phil.
DJ Envy
Phil, what's up? Talk to us. What's your thoughts, Phil?
Caller/Guest
Yo, Buddy and Buddy in the room.
DJ Envy
They know you're wrong.
Caller/Guest
What? What's crazy is they don't know what the crime is. I know what the crime is.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's the crime?
Caller/Guest
The crime time is solicitation.
Charlamagne Tha God
How's that? Solicitation.
Caller/Guest
Question mark. He track old girl down to find out how much he paid for that. He ain't having his way like that.
DJ Envy
Oh, you think it was a prostitute? He just got wiggled in.
Charlamagne Tha God
How you figure he ain't having his way? That man own property. That man got some money in his pocket.
Caller/Guest
Come on. Exactly. That's how he got it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, but that don't mean it. He might be, though. You might be right. That might be prostitution.
Caller/Guest
I am right.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right?
Caller/Guest
Way he built, man, he built like. Like a.
Charlamagne Tha God
A letter B. Oh, you seen the video?
Caller/Guest
Yeah.
Angela Yee
Hold on.
Charlamagne Tha God
Look. See him right there. Just look.
DJ Envy

Caller/Guest
Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's Tony.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's up, Tony?
DJ Envy
Talk to us. What's your thoughts, Tony?
Caller/Guest
Hey, look, obviously, dude's like crazy unethical and. And I'm not arguing that. All I need to know is, did bro put his bare ass in my furniture? Because if so, you got to replace that bro.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, yeah, yeah, he's in the furniture.
DJ Envy
He in the furniture?
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, no, no, he. He was actually. I don't know what look like you're

Charlamagne Tha God
He is built like the muc, man.
Caller/Guest
Nasty and sweaty all over my furniture. Now you got to replace that bro Completely.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't think. I don't think there's no prostitute either, cuz. She had a bonnet on. She had a bonnet on. Oh, my God.
Angela Yee
Nah, yeah, that's different. Now it might have been the prostitute with the bonnet.
Charlamagne Tha God
Ain't nobody.
Caller/Guest
I mean, he's doing something if he going outside of his house to do it. Yeah. He might be hiding something.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm gonna tell you what.
DJ Envy
I might be a crackhead.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now, the more I put together these little context clues, I'm figuring this out. She had a bonnet on.
Angela Yee
Okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
She must live in that neighborhood. Yes, she live in that neighborhood. That's from before she know him. Yeah.
Angela Yee
I'm telling you, this is the first. This ain't the first time they got together.
Charlamagne Tha God
So he. He probably married.
Caller/Guest
Don't come to my house and knock down some old thing. I don't care if you own it. Get off my couch like that.
Charlamagne Tha God
I. I bet you he probably married and she probably married. He hit her up real quick like, I'm over here doing some repairs. She came out the house in a bonnet real quick.
Caller/Guest
Name? Really?
Charlamagne Tha God
He tossed up.
Angela Yee
Hell, yo. That is so nasty. Damn.
DJ Envy
All right, well, thank you, brother.
Caller/Guest
Yes, sir.
DJ Envy
We're gonna take some more calls. 800-585-1051. Charlemagne gave donkey of the day to this landlord and he's. We're trying to figure out, is it criminal? I think it's criminal. You just can't be just doing whatever you want in the house that I'm renting from you, especially if my rent's on time.
Charlamagne Tha God
I tell you, though, this landlord walk like he down with OPP bro.
Angela Yee
For real?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes. Other people's property. For real. Because you know what I'm saying, how you walk in the room, back straight,
Caller/Guest
you know what I mean?
Charlamagne Tha God
Arms out to the side, winging.
DJ Envy
He act like it was his crib. He act like it Was his crib
Charlamagne Tha God
like he does his? It is.
Angela Yee
It is.
DJ Envy
Hello? Who's this?
Caller/Guest
Hi, this is Stacy. How y' all doing?
DJ Envy
What's up?
Charlamagne Tha God
Stacy, Stacy, Stacy, I need. I know where our back door needs to be installed.
Caller/Guest
I'm thinking you a little jealous of me and Envy's relationship, even though we don't even have a relationship. But no, technically more.
Charlamagne Tha God
That was crazy. I'm jealous of you and Envy's relationship. Oh, I'm sorry. We're on the radio live. But we don't have a relationship.
DJ Envy
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Clear that up, Stacy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Ain't nothing to clear up. No, no.
Caller/Guest
Charlemagne, no. Just like yo. Just like Jess said, Charlemagne had gates ear. I think Charlemagne wants to like.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes, you be. You be pressure washing Envy's deck.
Angela Yee
Oh my God.
Caller/Guest
No, stop playing. Envy is just a very cool dude who just supports a black owned business. Stop doing that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Listen, if he's working on your foundation, I ain't got nothing to do with that, brother.
Caller/Guest
Okay, it sound like you're a little challeng.
DJ Envy
He definitely got definitely jealous. What you were saying?
Caller/Guest
No, morally, I think it's very wrong. Especially when you built like that. You understand? Now, technically, I don't know if. I don't know if he can get in trouble. But morally, that is not right. You should not just be slinging your meat wherever you want because you own.
Angela Yee
Own the property. It doesn't. Yeah, yeah, right.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. That's the crazy part about this story. The fact that he's built the way that he's built and he was hitting it for an hour.
Angela Yee
I still need to see.
Charlamagne Tha God
You need to see this.
Caller/Guest
You should at least be a little sexy. Like, come on now. But I mean, I guess is he wise? Morally, you're wrong. I don't know if he can get in trouble, though. Morally, he's wrong.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's true, Stacy. And we want you.
Caller/Guest
Okay, y' all have a good day.
Charlamagne Tha God
If he said come over later, he wanna want you to help him.
DJ Envy
Wait a minute.
Caller/Guest
Let me just make a point real quick. And I may get in trouble for this.
Charlamagne Tha God
Uhoh.
Caller/Guest
G. Stacy, you and Trav got each other's number. Me and Envy just is your straight business, right?
DJ Envy
That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm talking about.
Charlamagne Tha God
It should just be business when you a married man, Envy.
DJ Envy
No, he said me and business said you and Trav got each other's money.
Charlamagne Tha God
Y' all more personal, right? Men drive actually for business.
Caller/Guest
People be asking, yo. People be asking me, yo, yo, can you get me in contact with Charlamagne? I'm like, you got to call the radio. I don't got they numbers.
Charlamagne Tha God
You goddamn right. Better call the radio station.
DJ Envy
Stacy. I'll see you at the car show. Stacy.
Charlamagne Tha God
I know you will.
Caller/Guest
You sure will.
DJ Envy
I hate this place.
Charlamagne Tha God
Baby.
DJ Envy
Oh, my goodness.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's okay, Emby. Damn. The moral of the story is, landlords don't abuse your power. Please.
DJ Envy
Oh, my goodness.
Angela Yee
That's crazy.
DJ Envy
All right, well, when we got back, we got the latest with Lauren, so don't go anywhere.

Lauren LaRosa
Hey y', all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa and I used to think that if something worked for everybody else, it should work for me too. So I was just layering products on, trying every routine I saw online and my hair just stayed dry, dry, undefined. And honestly it was frustrating. It felt like I was doing everything right but getting no results. What I had to unlearn is that hair isn't one size fits all. Once I started focusing on my hair and what I actually needed, everything changed. My hair felt softer, stronger and I finally started seeing real growth. That's why I love Baskin Lather. Their products are made specifically for textured hair and you can feel the difference. The stimulating scalp and hair bomb keeps my hair hydrated without the heavy greasy feel and it helps reduce breakage while adding shine. And the hydrating hair mist? Oh, it's perfect for keeping my curls soft, detangled and refreshed, especially in protective styles. I have thick textured hair that leans very dry, so moisture and strength are everything for me and I've definitely seen an improvement in both even their before and after results. You can tell it's real growth and healthier hair and I love the fact that it's a black owned, family operated brand that started from a real need and real care hair. Explore viral bestsellers and products of healthier hair for all types From Baskin lather go to baskinlatherco.com and use Cold Breakfast Club for 20 off.

She gets them from somebody that knows somebody. She gets the details.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Charlamagne Tha God
Keep you having those. Latest on the Biggest the Largest the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit everything.
DJ Envy
Well, it's the latest brought to you
Charlamagne Tha God
by Top Dog Law on the Breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
Talk to me.
Lauren LaRosa
So Marlon Wayans, you know they are out promoting Scary Movie and he's having a conversation with Variety about a ton of things. But they get into his relationship with Dave Chappelle. So he is asked basically how, how is it with having a relationship or maintaining a close friendship with Dave Chappelle, even though Dave Chappelle has been deemed as controversial when it comes to the trans people that are in the transgender world, because we know that Marlon Wayans has a transgender son. So Marlon Wayans responds, and he says, I don't hang with people like that. He says, I know Dave's heart. And his intention isn't to punch down. Dave wants to freely tell his jokes. And if you're going to be anti comedy, then he's going to keep attacking you until you learn to have a sense of humor. Humor. He's just standing there and defending his front line as a comedian. As a comedian, I respect his journey, and as a friend, I respect his journey. And then for my child, I respect their journey.
Charlamagne Tha God
How old is Marlon child?
Lauren LaRosa
Let me see.
Charlamagne Tha God
Grown, I think.
Mimi Brown
Grown.
Lauren LaRosa
And he also made it clear, too. He said that Marlon says that he would not hang with Dave Chappelle if he felt like Dave Chappelle was full of hate. Those are the people he does not hang with. I'm not for sure how old Marlon means.
Charlamagne Tha God
Absolutely. I mean, that's a. That's a great answer Marlon gave. And I. I guess. I guess the other question would be, how does his child feel about the. Yeah, the jokes.
Angela Yee
Yeah. Marlon got jokes about his child. His child, too. Like in one of those specials he
DJ Envy
was talking about was the Skittles doctor. The Skittles. One of them. I forgot, but I saw that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Angela Yee
And it was funny. It was funny. And I mean, they. In that type of family. You know what I mean? So I. I don't know.
Lauren LaRosa
So according to Google, his child Kai, is 26 years old.
Caller/Guest
Old.
Lauren LaRosa
But Marlon kind of talked about being in that middle point that Charlotte talking about. He says, as the father of my child, I can appropriate my feelings toward my friend and my feelings toward my child and. And how we can put those two things together. And I can explain both sides. I'm between them, so I can explain both sides to each other. So I think there's, like, a sense about his child.
Charlamagne Tha God
But the.
DJ Envy
The interesting thing that I can't wait for, because I see Marlon and Sean been going on this press run.
Angela Yee
Yeah.

Charlamagne Tha God
But that don't have nothing to do.
Angela Yee
Doing nothing.
Charlamagne Tha God
Why you. Why you creating conflict?
DJ Envy
There's no conflict.
Charlamagne Tha God
We've all evolved.
DJ Envy
There's no conflict. I said we evolved.
Charlamagne Tha God
They even put that out there. Nobody know that.
Lauren LaRosa
Marlon is not here all the time.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's silly. He's. He's like. He's like a white man. That's the white man in him. I. I can't wait till they come up here because they got a issue while he chewing on a big old cigar.
DJ Envy
I didn't say no issue.

Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. He been talking.
DJ Envy
I didn't say anything foul. I just said I want. I can't wait till he comes up here.
Charlamagne Tha God
I actually see why they don't let Sean do too many interviews.
Lauren LaRosa
I hadn't heard him speak in a while, but I was watching some of those interviews, and I was like, oh, he ain't the one for the. I mean, he the one for the jokes, but he ain't the one for the play.
Angela Yee
Hell, play.
Charlamagne Tha God
But back to the moral of the story. Yeah, the thing I love about the Wayans is like, if you watched In Living Color, and Living Color was the most equal opportunity comedy show ever, because every single group got it. Even when the groups weren't popping, they had a transvestite on In Living Color. Back in the day, Jim Carrey used to play. What was that? Viva Vera Vera de.
DJ Envy
But they made fun of everybody. And everybody took. They didn't, you know, say of these. These group of people and not these people.
Charlamagne Tha God
Everybody got it. Everybody. Everybody got it on In Living Color.
DJ Envy
I forgot about the handicap people. Yeah, them handicap people, too.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hilarious.
DJ Envy
Hilarious.
Lauren LaRosa
Well, that interview is. Is out now.
Charlamagne Tha God
He was handy, handyman. He used to do the T. Rex arms and everything. Like they. Man, we used to be a proper country.
Angela Yee
I know that, cuz.
DJ Envy
You do the voice down, you get in trouble.
Charlamagne Tha God
You get.
DJ Envy
You're doing it for voice now. You get in trouble. Absolutely.
Angela Yee
The voice.
Charlamagne Tha God
You're doing the voice now and you ain't even trying. You're just being yourself
Lauren LaRosa
this last, like five minutes, and he just. Just being himself. Did you just do a hand?
DJ Envy
No, grab the mic.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's who he is. All right, stop touching that, man.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay, well, sh. Shifting gears a bit. Speaking of television and things.
Angela Yee
That's wild.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, cuz Laura was like, why you do your hand like that? I'm like, Laura was like, I don't know if he's handicap or gay. His wrist just went limp.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. For no reason.
Caller/Guest
The handyman.
DJ Envy
The handyman.
Lauren LaRosa
Envy.
Caller/Guest
I'm not.
DJ Envy
That's what it was.
Lauren LaRosa
You in always getting yourself in trouble.
DJ Envy
Young. I don't know if you seen it.
Lauren LaRosa
All right.
DJ Envy
It was a whole movie and everything. It was dope.
Lauren LaRosa
Shifting gears. Okay, so I. I had. I did an interview yesterday with us, Jason Weaver. You guys know him from the shy atl. We've been talking a lot about the shot because they're in their final season. But he was talking to me. Yeah, Simba as well too, baby. Michael Jackson as well. Or younger Michael Jackson. We were talking because ATL too. You know how there's been so many conversations about development and why it hasn't happened yet.
DJ Envy
Yes.
Lauren LaRosa
So he revealed to me yesterday that the studios in Hollywood are in the way. Let's take a listen. It was the video. Y' all was like walking down the street. It was. It was you, Lauren, London, Ti.
Angela Yee
And people thought that that was weekend,
Lauren LaRosa
but we thought that that was like, okay, filming's about to start. Like, y' all be playing with our heartstrings.
State Farm Announcer
That was used as a strategy.
Angela Yee
Tip and Chris Robinson and all of us have been encouraging Warner Brothers to do a sequel.
Lauren LaRosa
We look at ATL is an iconic or classic film to the average Hollywood executive. They're like, it performed well domestically in the theater.
Angela Yee
Did it perform that well globally to
Lauren LaRosa
where it's worthy of me investing 30 or 40 million dollars to getting this film done. And I may possib maybe 90 of it back. That's how these executives look at it.
Angela Yee
We weren't released full amount of screens. So like it was either Ice Age or Ice Age 2 came out the same weekend.
Lauren LaRosa
Every theater that we performed in, along
Angela Yee
with that Ice Age, we had numbers that were equal to theirs.
DJ Envy
I mean, I. I don't see why not. The movie made what he said, Over 20 million. It only cost 7 million to make.
Lauren LaRosa
21.2 million reported in the box office. Right. And that weekend, and mind you that that was a limited release. He said that weekend Ice Age came out, Ice Age was one. There was a movie that was two and ATL was three. Just off of what they were given. He said their marketing budgets were not as much, of course, as like what Ice Age was. So imagine what they could do now today with where they are in their celebrity. But also we got social and people want the movie. It's. It's atl. So. Yeah, I thought that
DJ Envy
just what it meant.
Lauren LaRosa
It's a no brainer to me. But that's why we need people. Like we got Byron Allen, Charlotte, I know you producing things as well too. We need people that understand what's going on. Cuz that makes no sense.
Charlamagne Tha God
I would love to participate in this convo, but when I hear Jason Weaver, I just expect him to just burst in the song. I'm going to be a mighty king, so enemies beware. Well, I've never seen a king of beats with quite so little hair. He just talking. I'm like, what do you think? You about to sing a kuna matata at any moment.
Angela Yee
He still got the same voice.
Lauren LaRosa
Same voice, yes. Well, that interview is a info on the latest with Lauren, the Rosa, the podcast. You guys can go check that out. And this segment is brought to you guys by Top Dog Law. Any accident, big or small, called Top Dog Law.
DJ Envy
All right.
Angela Yee
And happy birthday to Left Eye.
DJ Envy
Yes, Left birthday as well. Rest in peace. And Happy birthday to JD Kiss. And also happy birthday to Andre 3000. Let's get to the mix.
Charlamagne Tha God
How old would love to have been? See, that's one you can actually say instead of being like, they have been 197 today. How old? How old she have been?
Angela Yee
Oh my God.
Charlamagne Tha God
You don't have this one. The one that actually could still be here. You don't have Jesus when she was born in 71, she trying to do math. Why you ain't going to your calculator on your phone?
Lauren LaRosa
I'm typing how. What is 71?
Charlamagne Tha God
It's the breakfast Club.
DJ Envy
Good morning. Now don't forget, we start Netflix live. So if you want to see us each and every morning live on Netflix, that starts on June 1st.

DJ Envy
I think she was testing us to see if we said we knew about it. But you just made that up. No.
Angela Yee
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God

In this lively episode, The Breakfast Club dives into major news and hot topics shaping the culture today. Highlights include Marlon Wayans’ nuanced take on supporting both his trans son and close friend Dave Chappelle, a spirited debate over whether Drake is bigger than Michael Jackson after breaking a major chart record, ongoing voting rights battles in the South, Steve Harvey’s controversial comments about parenting, and a viral story involving a landlord’s shocking conduct. The show is packed with real talk, laughs, and thoughtful perspective—every topic gets tackled with the panel’s trademark mix of humor and honesty.
(06:09 – 12:28, 34:20 – 41:05)
Alabama: Federal court blocked a congressional map that would have weakened Black voting power, citing intentional discrimination.
South Carolina: Republicans failed to pass a similar map intending to dilute Black representation, protecting Rep. Jim Clyburn’s district for now.
Corporate Silence: The CBC called out corporations—Amazon, Apple, Meta, etc.—for being silent on new attacks on voting rights despite previous statements post-George Floyd and Jan 6.
Public Awareness: Concerns about political fatigue and lack of public knowledge on these issues.
(26:40 – 30:08)
Milestone: Drake broke Michael Jackson’s record for most #1 singles by a male solo artist.
Hosts Respond:
Overall Consensus: Impressive achievement for Drake, but comparisons to Jackson remain silly.
(30:08 – 33:16)
Recap: Kevin Hart recently explained calling Stephen Jackson to discuss a controversial roast joke about George Floyd.
Stephen Jackson Responds: While he wasn’t angry at Hart, he underscored that he doesn’t laugh at jokes about the dead:
Hosts Weigh In:

Marlon Wayans’ Interview: Marlon discusses supporting his trans son while maintaining a friendship with Dave Chappelle.
Lil Wayne’s Secret Engagement: Rumors circulate about Lil Wayne’s engagement to a woman in her 20s; Lauren tries to confirm details but reports it’s mostly TMZ-sourced.
Meek Mill Vs. Nike/LeBron: Meek accuses Nike & LeBron of using his "Dreams and Nightmares" brand for a sneaker/apparel line. Trademark issues are debated—Meek appears to hold the LLC but lacks formal apparel category. Hosts agree LeBron and Nike should have reached out.
Ray J’s Health: Following an MMA fight, Ray J hospitalized with possible concussion and heart issues; the team questions his choices given recent health scares.
Jason Weaver on ATL Sequel: Lauren interviews Jason Weaver, who reveals Hollywood studios haven't green-lit an ATL sequel due to financial concerns and industry biases, despite strong box office return and cultural impact.
Charlamagne, on corporate politics:
"Corporate America has been silent on everything from voting rights to ICE... They don’t want no smoke with the petty Trump administration." (10:58)
On Drake vs. Michael Jackson:
"Drake's made a lot of fast food music—here today, gone tomorrow. Michael is still selling millions." — Charlamagne, 28:05
Kevin Hart/Kevin roast controversy:
"Anytime somebody demeans the dead, it turns my stomach... That shows you’re not as talented when you pick on people who can’t defend themselves." — Stephen Jackson, 31:27
On controlling your daughter’s love life:
"As much as your daughter loves you, you cannot control what she does." — Charlamagne, 48:11
On the landlord story:
"Sometimes landlords don't do enough. This landlord was doing too much." — Charlamagne, 69:31
Marlon Wayans, about Dave Chappelle and his son:
"As a father, I can appropriate my feelings towards my friend and towards my child... I can explain both sides to each other. I'm between them." — (Lauren reading Marlon, 90:34)
The episode blends comedic banter, cultural commentary, and authentic vulnerability. The hosts oscillate between playful roasting (both of each other and pop culture figures) and earnest debate on tough issues like racial justice, parenting, and LGBTQ+ support. The show’s energy is irreverent but never loses a grounded, real-world perspective.
This episode exemplifies The Breakfast Club’s ability to tackle sensitive topics with humor, empathy, and spirited debate—holding space for nuance, disagreement, and a lot of laughs. From headline news to hip hop legends, no subject is off limits, and nothing gets a free pass.
"Your talent determines what you can do. Your motivation determines how much you're willing to do. Your attitude determines how well you do it." — Lou Holtz (99:54)
