1. Lil Baby Arrest Warrant Allegations

The episode delves deeply into the controversial topic of Lil Baby's alleged arrest warrant that supposedly links him to double murders in Atlanta.

Key Points:

• Arrest Warrant Details: Fox 5 Atlanta retrieved the arrest warrant connecting Lil Baby (Dominique Jones) to homicides involving rival gangs OMF and 4PF (Four Pockets Full). The warrant cites Lil Baby's affiliation with 4PF and a violent rivalry that escalated after a video shoot in a rival territory.

• Police Allegations: The Atlanta Police Department alleges that Lil Baby's decision to shoot a music video in OMF territory intensified existing gang tensions, leading to multiple homicides.

• Lil Baby's Response: Lil Baby has publicly denied the allegations, stating, "Don't believe fake news. I'm more than good" (Lil Baby Statement, 31:00).

• Attorney Statement: Dominique Jones's attorney, Drew Finland, condemned the police's association between Lil Baby and the crimes, emphasizing that shooting a music video is a professional decision unrelated to criminal activities. Finland stated, "Bringing his name into a conversation regarding a terrible crime for which he had absolutely no involvement in is unprofessional, unethical, and shameful" (Attorney Statement, 68:44).

Notable Quotes:

• Charlamagne Tha God: "It's very reckless and irresponsible for law enforcement to even speculate putting that on Baby's name based off shooting a music video." (Charlamagne on Allegations, 30:11)

• Criticism and Support: Charlamagne expressed skepticism about the legality and coordination of such efforts without congressional oversight, stating, "He is not an elected official" (Charlamagne on Trump Negotiations, 07:19).

Notable Quotes:

• Trump: "The progress toward peace will continue when President Zelensky visits the White House." (Trump’s Statement, 09:11)
• Keir Starmer: "You've created a moment of tremendous opportunity to reach a historic peace deal." (Prime Minister Starmer, 09:19)

[Morgan]

Happy Friday.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay, y'all don't got the energy. I Need today. It is Friday. Okay. Okay.

[Morgan]

Top of the headline.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Let's go ahead and get into it, y'all. A federal judge is blocking the Trump administration's mass firings of federal workers. All right. A U.S. district Court judge ruled on Thursday that the Office of Personnel Management must rescind a memo that resulted in mass firings of probationary employees. Now, the ruling says the firings were probably illegal, but it does not reinstate the workers who have already been dismissed. Now, the judge also referred to probationary employees as, quote, the lifeblood of our government. Another court hearing is scheduled for March 13, and of course, this comes as, at the same time, unemployment claims are at their highest level this year so far. The Labor Department reports initial filings for unemployment Benefits hit around 242,000 in the week ending in February 22nd. That's an increase of 22,000 from the previous week and well above the Dow Jones estimate of 22,5000. So any guys. You guys have any thoughts on that?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm all for it. You know, like I say, I've been saying it all week and for the past couple of weeks, I'm all for the idea of government efficiency, but it needs to be done right. What's happening is illegal. They are not obeying the law because they're bypassing Congress. You can't have all these meltdowns of agencies, all of. All of this dysfunction, and you must obey the law. Elon Musk should be coordinating with Congress while he's doing that. And even. Even bigger than that, he's. He's not an elected official.

[DJ Envy]

Not at all. Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And I can't imagine that any of this is efficient.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes, I understand he's appointed by the president, but he wasn't sworn in by the Senate, so. No.

[DJ Envy]

But isn't it true that because he's a quote, unquote consultant, he can only work a limited amount of time?

[Lauren LaRosa]

130 days. Yep.

[DJ Envy]

TRUMP gonna change that?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, all right. Well, we'll see. Speaking of President Trump.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah. I just don't understand how you have somebody with all of that unchecked power, but that person themselves doesn't have to go through any checks and balances to do what it is that they're doing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Well, switching gears to President Trump, he says a lot of progress has been made or is being made in the Russia, Ukraine war. He made the comments during a joint news conference with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Trump said the groundwork is being laid for a ceasefire deal between the two sides, but he doesn't want to get ahead of himself until a deal is actually done. Let's hear more from President Trump.

[Charlamagne tha God]

As I discussed with Prime Minister Starmer.

[DJ Envy]

The next step we're making is toward.

[Charlamagne tha God]

A very achievable ceasefire. We hope that that can happen quickly tomorrow.

[DJ Envy]

The progress toward peace will continue when.

[Charlamagne tha God]

President Zelensky visits the White House. He'll be here tomorrow in the early.

[DJ Envy]

Part of the day.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And we'll be signing a historic agreement that will make the United States a major partner in developing Ukraine's minerals and rare earths.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Trump said the US Will be reimbursed for providing defense funds for Ukraine. Incited the minerals deal he made with Ukrainian President Zelensky, who is again scheduled to meet with President Trump today to sign that deal, as well as have further talks about the Ukraine, Russia war. Now, the president said his administration has made historic progress when it comes to creating peace around the world. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer agrees. He praised, praised Trump's for his efforts to get a ceasefire done between Ukraine and Russia. Let's hear more from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

[DJ Envy]

You've created a moment of tremendous opportunity to reach a historic peace deal, a deal that I think would be celebrated.

[Lauren LaRosa]

In Ukraine and around the world.

[DJ Envy]

That is the prize, but we have to get it right.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Trump says he wants to decrease US Support for Ukraine and allow the rest of Europe to pick up the slack. Trade is also expected to be or. Trade was also at the discussion amongst the UK Prime Minister after Trump has been imposing steep tariffs on allies since taking office. Any guy, any thoughts on that?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm not mad at any of that. World peace is always a great thing. That's something we all pray for. I was driving into work today and I saw a falling star. And that was literally my wish. My wish was for world peace.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, speaking of a falling star. That's so cool. You know, you were talking about this earlier this week. There's a rare planetary alignment happening today. Stargazers will be able to see seven planets. Us. Which seven? We got Saturn, Neptune. Oh, oh, sheesh. To the naked eye. I'm sorry, I don't have a list of which ones. I'm gonna pull them up in just a second.

[DJ Envy]

There's only eight of them.

[Friday]

Oh, you're.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Up with y'all this morning.

[DJ Envy]

Uranus is wonderful. I've been telling y'all week.

[Charlamagne tha God]

First of all, y'all talking like we in another galaxy. Which planets? Like it's, it's. We're on. There's only eight of them. And we're on one.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Oh, oh, oh, that's right. And then they don't consider Pluto a planet anymore. So all seven. Let's. Let's go through them. What are they? Jupiter.

[Morgan]

I remember none of that.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Saturn. Mercury. Venus. Mercury, Earth.

[Lauren LaRosa]

We got them.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, we're missing one.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No, Pluto.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Only name seven. Neptune.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You're right. Got it. All right, so the best chance of viewing all seven planets will be in places free of light pollution and in areas without an obstructed view of the horizon. So you might want to check that out tonight, guys.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That'd be something to get high, too. What time is it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

At night? Once the, you know, nightfall comes.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, but you take my edible at the right time.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So that kick in, you said the NASA also suggests you can also use binoculars and a telescope to get a better view?

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's usually how it works, NASA, when you want to look at something in the sky.

[Just Hilarious]

Oh, my God.

[Charlamagne tha God]

The genius is up there, huh?

[DJ Envy]

Right?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Okay, Elon, I might be with you. All right, we need to. Okay. What you mean?

[DJ Envy]

Oh, my God. And that's from Page News. Thank you, Mark. We'll see you next hour.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, talk to y'all at seven.

[DJ Envy]

All right, everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need the vent, hit us up now. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[Just Hilarious]

This is your time to get it.

[DJ Envy]

Off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed.

[Charlamagne tha God]

800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello?

[DJ Envy]

Who's this?

[Just Hilarious]

Chris.

[DJ Envy]

Hey, what's up, Chris? Get it off your chest.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, I just want to get off my chest. Good morning to everybody.

[Friday]

Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I've been listening to you guys for many years.

[Just Hilarious]

I just want to let you guys.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Know that, you know, I'm a federal worker. Well, Mayport, but in Jacksonville.

[Just Hilarious]

And I work.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I work on warships.

[Friday]

And I just wish the Department of.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Defense and the Department of the Navy will be a little more open to letting civilians in and come walk the dock with us on a, you know, once a month or something like that, so you guys can see, you know, what eight hours of our life is like. You know, when Covid happened, we wasn't allowed to work from home or any of that stuff. We still had to be on the deck plates fixing these ships, dealing with.

[Friday]

Contractors, dealing with ships, force dealing with.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Civilians on all types of higher levels, lower levels, you know, eight hours. Age when you're in $150,150 million availability to fix the shit. You know, like, that's a real deal. You know, we work so hard to.

[DJ Envy]

Hear all this stuff and all this.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Stuff about lazy federal workers. And I understand that it's not just pointed at our agency, but I'm just.

[Friday]

Saying, man, like, there's a lot of.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Work that we put in and a lot of front and tears, you know? You know, to make our country safe. You know? Who did that? President Bill Clinton. You know, President Bill Clinton, when he had his government efficiency initiative, that's what he did. He collaborated with federal workers, and he actually did things like that. He wanted to see, you know, what it was that y'all actually did where the waist was. He worked with y'all hand in hand. He didn't just go in there guessing and just. Just slashing things. Charlemagne. You know, maybe the Breakfast Club should try to hold, you know, a break, like one of you guys, a session on a ship one day and go walk the ship and talk to personnel so you can see what the environment is like. And don't let them sugarcoat it into a ship that's not on availability or anything. Make them do it, like, on a ship that's going through a fixing stage, you know, like it's getting fixed on so you could see all the entities are on the ship and all the movement and everything that's going on, man.

[Just Hilarious]

Because I tell you, man, we work hard, man. We work really hard, and a lot.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Of us don't get a lot of credit.

[DJ Envy]

We appreciate.

[Charlamagne tha God]

We appreciate that we're underpaid. That's right. We appreciate your service, man. This is why I keep telling everybody to please, please, please go read up on Bill Clinton's national part for reinventing government. Because what Elon Musk is attempting to do, Bill Clinton actually did in the 90s, and it worked. He just did things the right way, and he did things like work with federal workers. He worked hand in hand with civil servants, and they actually, you know, went through. Went to these. Went to these federal workplaces and saw what was going on so they could make effective cuts. Who better than. Who better to talk to than the workers.

[DJ Envy]

That's right.

[Charlamagne tha God]

In the civil service who actually do this stuff every day.

[DJ Envy]

[Just Hilarious]

Hello?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Who's this?

[Morgan]

Yes, sir.

[Just Hilarious]

Good morning, Breakfast Club. It's Ja from Indy.

[DJ Envy]

J A, what's up?

[Just Hilarious]

J A, I need your advice. I got beef with my son.

[Friday]

He's doing really good in school, you know.

[Just Hilarious]

Got a car accident, Got past that. I'm gonna buy him a new car for his birthday next week. And I get his tax return. Last summer he said he made $10,000. His tax return? He actually made 25,000. I'm admitting to a federal crime online. Y'all think I should take his tax return? I'm gonna file it for Him. But he got some money coming back, like, five bands, man.

[Friday]

And I'm feeling.

[DJ Envy]

How is dad gonna take his money from him?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Swing on that little mug.

[Friday]

Hey, I've been taking care of him.

[Just Hilarious]

I've been doing my job. His mom's done a great job. But he told me he only made $10,000 last summer.

[Friday]

And I got the W2.

[Just Hilarious]

That's $25,000. And I'm, like, disappointed because he keep.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Getting money from me. I'm like, where the money at? First of all, you need to take some of that money and tuck it away for him. You know what I'm saying? Like, let that money be able to work for him. Don't let him get it all at one time, because he'll probably blow it. That's the smart thing to do as a parent.

[DJ Envy]

No, he said he wants to take that money and buy him a car because he just wrecked his car a couple of months ago.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I wouldn't even buy him a car.

[DJ Envy]

He probably got to get around, get to work.

[Morgan]

Yeah, he got to get.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I already got him another car.

[Just Hilarious]

I got my money, but I didn't know he made this much money last summer.

[Morgan]

Maybe he didn't know either. Maybe he didn't feel it. It's inflation.

[Friday]

So that's what y'all got. So what should I do?

[DJ Envy]

Should I take.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Put that money away for him for a rainy day, bro, why you? This is what I don't understand about people. Why we look to spend the money that we got coming in if you already got him a car and he don't necessarily need the bread right now. Just tuck it away for a minute. Why are you looking to spend it so fast?

[DJ Envy]

How old is he?

[Friday]

He's 19.

[Just Hilarious]

He about to be 20. And I didn't say I was gonna spend it. I'm just frustrated because he blew it last summer. I'm not gonna give it to him now.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm like, I'll put it up. It's just the principle. It's just the principle.

[DJ Envy]

We should have a conversation with him, see what he did with that money. But like, Charlamagne said, you should put it up.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Put it up for him.

[DJ Envy]

Put it away for him so that, you know, when he turns 21 or a rainy day or he needs something, that money's there for him.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I got you.

[Just Hilarious]

I appreciate that, man.

[Charlamagne tha God]

We locked in.

[DJ Envy]

All right, Jay.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Put it into A S&P 500 or something. That's a safe bet.

[DJ Envy]

Hello? Who's this?

[Morgan]

Hey, this Nat from Philly.

[DJ Envy]

What's up? Nat, get it off your chest.

[Morgan]

Hey, I just called this morning. I never got through before. Hey, Charlamagne. The guy. Lauren.

You're not.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Oh, hell no. You met somebody else?

[DJ Envy]

No, it was me. You know what it is? When I'm up here, Charlamagne says I'm Dominican. He says my bed is fake. He says you know so many different things, but all that's not true. But I'm glad. I'm glad.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You mean it's not true? You do die?

[Friday]

No, no.

[DJ Envy]

But why. But why would you lie, though? You do dye your beard.

[DJ Envy]

I do. But you said it was fake. People be trying to.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That is fake.

[DJ Envy]

Let me pull your hairline. Like, are you back? No, my. My bed is real. But I died just like Lauren. Your hair's. No, maybe not.

[Morgan]

Excuse me.

[DJ Envy]

Get it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

[Morgan]

[Charlamagne tha God]

[DJ Envy]

That's not my middle name.

[Morgan]

And if Ice ever hit me back on that other stuff, I'll let him know a little something.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Oh, wait till me and Ice going all right along. I know exactly where I'm going.

[Morgan]

Deportation.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we got the mess coming up. Lauren, what we talking about is Nanny running crazy.

[Morgan]

Yes, we do. Yesterday, we talked about Little Baby and the news about the him being linked to that. That shooting death.

[DJ Envy]

Yep.

[Morgan]

I have some more information for y'all. Y'all have some questions yesterday that I couldn't answer, but now I can. So we're gonna get into all of that stuff.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we'll get to that. Next. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the mess.

[Just Hilarious]

On the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She's the coach of shoes.

[Morgan]

I'm back and I got the mess.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Talk to me.

[Morgan]

All right, y'all. So yesterday we talked about Lil Baby and you guys had a lot of questions in the room that I couldn't answer at the time because of what was given V via the police press conference. So Fox 5 Atlanta has actually retrieved the arrest warrant. So remember I told you guys that yesterday in that press conference when they called out the rapper who they say they're going to make sure, you know, has these consequences because of the part that this person played and what they're now calling this game war that resulted in multiple deaths. And then there was this arrest warrant that had Dominique Jones's name and it Dominique Jones's Little Baby. So that linked him to this conversation. So Fox 5 Atlanta went and retrieved the the arrest warrant their self and they are now saying that after seeing this arrest warrant, they're able to specifically point to the other gang. Yesterday in that press conference, the police only named one gang, OMF, only my family. But according to this arrest warrant, 4PF, which is four pockets full, which we know at one time was Baby's label. It was a crew that he was running around with until he changed the name of the label back in 2024 to glass window Entertainment. It's also being named as the opposing gang in this like rivalry that the police are alleging is is going down. So what they're saying is that the day that the two young men were killed, there was two vehicles that pulled up on the teens, six people hopped out of the car, multiple shots were fired. The victims were struck multiple times. One person was shot in the head, one person was shot in the chest, another person shot in the foot. And the backstory on this is that they're saying 4 PF and OMF have been beefing for some time now. During the time of this beef, the video shoot that we talked about yesterday, the Little Baby's video shoot went down. The video went down on omf, which is the opposing, the alleged opposing gangs territory during the time of all of this beef. So what they're saying is that not only are these two games already added, there's a bunch of things happening. But during the time all of this is happening, they alleged that Little Baby decided to go and shoot a video on gang rival turf, which made things even worse. At that video shoot, three people were actually shot, but all of them survived. Baby was not injured. And then ever since that time, there has been multiple homicides. Around the city that they're pointing back to the beef between these two rival gangs or alleged gangs. And they're saying that it. It basically went up like it turned up even more after the video shoot. Now there is. We talked about yesterday as well, that there was one gang member who I guess is supposed to be like, highly ranked in the OMF game, which is the opposing alleged gang to 4 PF. And this gang member is a person I told you guys made a phone call from in. From behind bars. That phone was a contraband phone. So it was seized. And investigators say they uncover extensive communication between this gang member and a bunch of other affiliates that they were planning, you know, different targets and get back because of a shooting that happened. And because of this video, those communications identified their target as multiple different people. And one of the people is someone who has a very close relationship, the Little Baby. And this person is supposed to be an alleged to be a 4 PF gang member. Now, diving deeper into this, they also say that they. There is an informant that they have been talking to. And this informant is. Is basically mentioning that because of all these things that have been happening right now, you have. On both sides, you have gang members that are basically angry on both sides. The seven people that were arrested are people that they, police are alleging, have been doing a lot of the shooters and the things that we have talked about. Now, when it comes to Little Baby, specific, specifically the way that they are trying to pin him in this, he actually spoke out, he posted on Instagram yesterday, and he said, basically, don't believe fake news. I'm more than good. But the way that police are trying to pin this based on this arrest warrant is that Little Baby is tied in because, number one, he was affiliated with this gang. And there, I guess some of this beef is supposed to be his as well, too, and that some of the retaliation is supposed to be to protect him as well. Because on these recordings and some of the informant conversations that they have, they. They literally pinpoint and say that at one point in time, their plan was to get two Little Baby, especially at that. At that video shoot, but he was too protected. So that's. Police are leaning in on him very heavily now. He's speaking out and saying, yo, I'm good. That is not what these arrest warrants. I mean, I wouldn't say that is not. That is not what police are alleging on the other side of it. So I hope that cleared up a lot of the questions that we had yesterday.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Well, I didn't really. I didn't really have any questions yesterday. I just felt like there had to be more to the story because connecting murders to someone because they shot a music video even in a rival hood seems like a reach to me.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, that's not against the law to shoot a music video. So these arrest warrants are for what? What are they are arresting him for now? What is the reason?

[Morgan]

I don't know this. I can't answer the charge question. But there, I mean, there's a lot going on here, right? Like, you're talking about homicides. You're talking about homicides. I'm sorry, talking about homicides. You're talking about homo crazy. Shut up.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's crazy.

[Morgan]

You're. You're talking about.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You're talking about almost.

[Morgan]

Be quiet. You're talking to me. I'm hearing. And it's shaping up to be what could even be like a RICO type of situation as well. Because they're talking about gang and they're talking about rankings and gangs and you know what I mean? Like, it sounds like that's what they're leaning into, but I don't know charges. I.

Have you seen this new commercial from Stand up to All Hate? It's Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady spewing hate at each other. But when you really listen to them, the reasons are just so stupid. This one really stopped me. It's a strong reminder that hate in our country continues to be out of control. So join us at the Breakfast Club in standing up to it. If you see hate, speak up, call it out and learn more by following.

[Morgan]

Supwithhate Reached out to a friend in Atlanta because I've been trying to get the the arrest warrant for us myself so that I could go through it and try and figure more of it out. I didn't call everybody. I called the court yesterday. We know you did PD and they're telling me I can't get it over the phone. So I have a person today going to the court for us so hopefully we can retrieve this so that I can try and figure out what that is. But I have been in contact to see when is charging going to happen. But if there's an arrest warrant that means an arrest or him turning himself and something's gonna have to happen soon. So I've just been looking out for that. But I don't even know if he.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Has a warrant for real.

[Morgan]

Well, yesterday, Yesterday. Okay, no, no, no one I called yesterday told me that there was not one. I was specifically told that it cannot be given to me or over the phone, that it has to be retrieved in person. And if we do not have one, Fox 5 and what was the other outlet from the day before? Channel 2 Action News had this way, way wrong. But again, yesterday when I called around, no one said, hey, that doesn't even exist. They said you cannot get over the phone. You have to request this and come and get this in person.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Morgan]

So I will answer that.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, I just feel it's very reckless and irresponsible for law enforcement to even put that or even speculate to put that on baby's name based off shooting a music video even in a rival hood.

[DJ Envy]

That's all I was saying yesterday. I said it just didn't sound right. But I guess we got to see if there's an arrest warrant if there's not. Because Lil Baby said he good don't believe fake news. So that would make people assume that.

[Morgan]

Well, you know, one thing I'mma do is I'm going to get to it. So I again, the plan today is I have a friend going to Atlanta, going to the court to try and request and receive this arrest warrant that they're reporting from. But again, yesterday I was not told that there wasn't one. But to answer that question, I can only go off what is being reported via Fox 5 and Channel 2 Action News. But little baby is saying it's fake news. Don't believe it. He is more than good.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Send your friend and when your friend goes there, say, hey, I'm here to talk about a homo.

[Morgan]

Homicide is crazy in Atlanta. Like it's like probably. I know, you know, I'm so inclusive. I probably just was trying to. I'm in la. I had to ride through Gabrielhood to get through here. So I don't know.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Side of town is the homo.

[DJ Envy]

Oh my gosh. All right.

[Morgan]

Got me reading and sounding it out all at the same time.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Shoot.

[Morgan]

Oh, I do want to say too the. What is it? Fox 5 Atlanta is saying too that when the he. When that hit happened with Those, with the 13 year old boys, that they didn't know that they were teens. Like they didn't know who it was. They were assuming that it was just like the rival game.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Horrible.

[Morgan]

Yeah, that. That does say this. That's what the informant is saying.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Morgan]

And that they Plan next. They were planning at one point to extort little baby for $5 million too. That would. That's a part of this conversation as well.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Tell you one thing. If all turns out to be a bunch of nothing, oh, baby.

[Morgan]

And that's what a lot of people were saying is like. But you know, they tried to talk around it. The police never said his name. A lot of the outlets the police have never. They didn't say his name.

[DJ Envy]

So the police didn't. That's right. So just one last question. So who tried to extort Little Baby? Allegedly.

[Morgan]

So, allegedly one of the opposing gang members who's like, higher ranking in the gang. He was telling his girlfriend on one of the, like, recorded calls that he planned to receive he was seeking revenge on Baby, like I mentioned earlier. And part of that was going to be to extort him for $5 million when he came home from prison. I don't know what the extortion would be like, what he was gonna try and hang over his head, but that was what they recovered from these phones. And you know, this why I don't.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Talk to niggas after 5pm right here.

[DJ Envy]

You're supposed to say, that's why I'm a civilian and I don't deal in those.

[Morgan]

Exactly. Charlamagne. What you talking about? Before 5?

[Charlamagne tha God]

My point is there's people always plotting on you. Don't have to be a crime. Okay. It's just always people plotting on you when you are in a certain position.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, that is the mess. Thank you, Lon LaRosa.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Welcome.

[DJ Envy]

All right, when we come back, we got front page news and then Omarion will be joining us. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Let's start off with some quick Sports. This Saturday, 8:00pm, Javante, Tank Davis is taking on Lamont Roach. All right, so definitely check it out. It's going to be happening at the Barclays Center.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'll be watching that. What is that coming on Amazon?

[DJ Envy]

[Charlamagne tha God]

Amazon prime, yep.

[DJ Envy]

And also salute to Steph Curry. I don't know if you've seen the game last night.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes, I did.

[DJ Envy]

He dropped 56 points. 12 three pointers. I think he had 11 in the fourth quarter. He went stupid last night.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Let me tell you something about Steph Curry. And I mean this sincerely, greatest waffle colored Negro to ever exist. There's never been a beige man before Steph Curry. And I don't think there'll be a beige man after Steph Curry. Except for maybe his son Cannon. Cause he's just. He's set up for success. He gonna have to be a great shooter. Greatest beige man to ever exist, Steph Curry.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, he went stupid last night, but.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Good morning, Morgan.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Good morning, Envy and Charlamagne and Lauren. All right, y'all, let's get into it. So as cases of measles are on the rise in the U.S. now, the nation's top health official weighed in on Wednesday at the Cabinet meeting on a growing measles outbreak that has now claimed the life of a child in Texas. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Said officials are following the measles epidemic every day. However, he said the number of cases, hospitalization, hospitalizations, and even a death aren't necessarily cause for panic. Let's HEAR More from HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. We're watching it. And there are about 20 people hospitalized, mainly for quarantine.

[Charlamagne tha God]

We're watching it.

[Morgan]

We put out a post on it yesterday, and we're going to continue to follow it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Incidentally, there have been four measles outbreaks this year in this country.

[Morgan]

Last year, there were six measles.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So it's not unusual.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You have measles outbreaks every year. Just to clarify, the health officials have come out and say that you will not quarantine in a hospital. So that information that he said about quarantining in a hospital is wrong. But the death of was confirmed in Texas, where an outbreak mainly among unvaccinated population. It was the first death attributed to the highly contagious disease in the US since 2015. Seven other states have also reported measles cases so far this year, including, of course, Texas, as previously mentioned, Alaska, California, Georgia, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, and Rhode Island. So have you guys heard of anything or know anybody impacted where you are?

[DJ Envy]

I thought somebody in Jersey passed away. That's what I thought. I mean, I'm getting the news from my mama because, you know, when. When my mom hears about these type of outbreaks, she calls me immediately, did your kids get the measles shots? And my answer is, I don't know. Ask. Yeah, but, yeah, it's. It's scaring a lot of people in New Jersey right now.

[Charlamagne tha God]

While we talk, Measles has been eliminated from the US For a long time.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Because we're dealing with a lot of people who are unvaccinated. And you know, there's a lot of mistrust amongst the black community about vaccinations. This particular incident with the measles is impacting a lot of the Hispanic population. And of course, anybody who's vulnerable, like children and those in elderly people, stand to be impacted.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I guess what I'm asking, when did people start getting scared of measles vaccinations? Like, when did this happen?

[DJ Envy]

I thought it was, I thought you had to have it to go to school. That's what I was, that's what I'm saying.

[Charlamagne tha God]

When did this happen? I missed the memo of when people started being afraid of measles vaccinations. It's been contained in America for so long. Like when did people, I don't know, stop being, thinking they were safe?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Is it the Tuskegee experiment that happened?

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, Let me just be clear what I'm saying. Measles has been eliminated from the US For a long time, even though we know outbreaks can still occur. And they've been eliminated because of a highly effective measles vaccination program. I'm just saying when did people all of a sudden start, you know, thinking.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The measles vaccines weren't scared of the vaccine is just the fact that they just don't want to be vaccinated or people are worried about what vaccinations can do to them or the impacts of vaccination.

[Morgan]

It's been happening, right?

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but I thought you had to be vaccinated, certain vaccinations, you had to have to go to school. And I thought measles was one of them. I could be wrong, but I thought that was one of them. To go to school for kids.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, but then you have people who, you know, opt out or they have exemptions for reasons. So I mean, you know, know I don't have all the answers, but, you know.

[DJ Envy]

Okay. Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, so let's switch gears. Al Sharpton's DEI boycott plan has come out. The 24 hour blackout on Friday, February 28th from 12am to 11:59pm he's saying that this is the first step to counter an attack on DEI diversity, equity and, and inclusion. And so we should not shop at Amazon, Walmart and McDonald's. Do not make purchases. Do not shop online in store. No Amazon, no Walmart, no Best buy, no McDonald's, no gas, no major retailers do not use credit or debit cards for non fees, non essential spending. Do you Guys, think this will work? It's just one day.

[Friday]

What are you.

[Morgan]

I was just about to ask you guys, what does one day, like, how does that impact long term?

[Lauren LaRosa]

So this note, he says corporations and banks only care about their bottom line. Disrupting the economy for even one day sends a powerful message.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I have no idea. You know, whatever people feel like they need to do in order to, you know, have their voice heard or, you know, disrupt the system or protest, do your thing. Like, I'm not knocking nobody for whatever it is they choose to do. Whether you choose the boycott or whether you choose to buy cot, whatever you choose to do, you know, do your thing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It doesn't sound like you. You would participate, so it doesn't. It.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You know, I don't think I'm participating, but I'm not in the. In the way of anybody that chooses to do it.

[Just Hilarious]

Hey, hey, hey.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What was the routine this morning, man? What did you do? Wake up, pray? Meditation.

[Friday]

Yeah. A little moment to myself, you know what I'm saying? Shower up, get fresh, say my affirmations. Put on my oud. I'm here.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What was your intention for today?

[Friday]

To just have a good time, you know what I'm saying? Not put too much on it, you know what I'm saying?

[Lauren LaRosa]

You are known as the Zen king.

[Morgan]

Like, how do you stay so tranquil.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Like, so zenful through everything? Like, you don't let nothing bother you. Yo, I didn't came at you so.

[Morgan]

Many times this man, he said, yeah.

[Friday]

Lets nothing get to him.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I'm trying to get to that.

[Friday]

I'm intentional. Yeah. And also, I don't take things personal.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Friday]

You know what I'm saying?

[DJ Envy]

The wild thing is, you know, Omarion, I just looked it up. Omarion is 40 years old.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Crazy.

[DJ Envy]

We've been seeing him grow up.

[Charlamagne tha God]

He's still I don't know, Mario, for you. Yeah. You still got baby hair.

[DJ Envy]

So people still look at you as a. Like a. A young. I can't say teen, but.

[Just Hilarious]

Right.

[DJ Envy]

A young 20 year old. Because that's what you look like.

[Friday]

Yeah, well, I mean, it does confuse people sometimes, but yeah, I think I made it to unk status at this, at this point in time.

[DJ Envy]

You ain't on, kid.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You can't be up with baby head. No, no.

[Morgan]

Millennium tour is back.

[Friday]

Yes, yes, yes, yes. I'm super excited about it. We played barclays on the 21st, so if you ain't got your ticket, definitely pop out. It's a moment. It's a moment.

[Morgan]

What keeps you doing all this?

[Friday]

After all? It is like, what keeps you doing. Doing this?

[DJ Envy]

He's still doing flips and dancing. Like what, you twist your ankle. It's gonna take a long time to heal.

[Friday]

No, actually I have a routine of making sure that I, you know, stay energized. I'm a performer, so it's important that I take care of my body. But the Millennium tour, you know, is a series concert that has brought nostalgic literally back on the planet. You know, my era and my time, I'm so happy to been a part of it because, you know, it brings you back to a memory and creates a new memory at the same time, you know, so I'm excited. Yeah, we, we keeping it going. We keeping that energy going.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Can I ask you what 40 felt like? I remember how I felt when I turned 40. Yeah. Where were you? What were you doing? How did it feel? Because to me, it felt like I really entered a new dimension when I turned 40.

[Friday]

Yeah. So I usually don't do anything for myself and shout out to Janine, who helped me put together my birthday party. But I had a birthday party in Malibu and it was such an amazing gathering. You know, all of my friends came out, my family. So I did something for myself, you know, which was throw a party. Was a lot of beautiful people in the building. So that's what I did for my birthday.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Did you feel like yourself going into a different level of consciousness?

[Friday]

For sure. A different level of maturity, a certain level expectation for myself. The things that I'm creating now, you know, why am I still doing it? I definitely feel like I've arrived because, you know, I'm one of the few entertainers that has grown up in the public eye. So growing up has, you know, been a challenge at some times in my career. You know what I mean? So I finally feel like I've arrived to that place where, you know, I can have a say so and people understand it and respect it.

[DJ Envy]

So now, how do y'all figure out who closes the Millennium Tour? Like, who closes that show? You got so many artists on there, right? And you're one of the originators on that tour. So who closes the Millennium Tour?

[Friday]

Well, it is a co headline. You know, myself, Trey and Bao. So it's kind of meant to be like a festival vibe. You know, any real performer, artist will tell you sometimes it's not best to close the show because, you know, the energy is drained. You know, you kind of want to go maybe second, you know, the last. So for me, yeah, I don't really trip off of that, but, yeah, that's how we decide between us and the promoters.

[DJ Envy]

So how do you headline? So is it like you do two, then you jump and do two, and then Trey jumps in and do two?

[Friday]

Exactly. Yeah. Maybe Trey will close, and then me and Bow will swap in between, you know, him going last before Trey or maybe going last before Trey.

[Morgan]

So, yeah, so I know before, you.

[Friday]

Know, the Millennium tour, it was B2K. Why not B2K this run? Well, this one was kind of more so framed for this class. You know, all the. If you look at the, you know, who's on there now, it's a lot of. Of non millennium, you know, artists. You know what I'm saying? Like, I think it's so cool that Boosie's gonna be on there, you know, I mean, he applies. I think we're gonna get some special guests as well. Yeah, exactly. The whole vibe. So it's kind of, I would say, a little bit different than, you know, like the previous years. So. Yeah, that's. That's how.

[Morgan]

So are we getting all the o.

[Friday]

Like the.

[Charlamagne tha God]

The.

[Friday]

Yeah, we get in the classics. No, Skip, we get the classics. So we getting that. Yeah, we get in the classes. It's actually my 20th year anniversary of putting in being a solo artist. Yeah, time is flying. Yeah. So, yeah, we get into classics, and also I'll be introducing some new music. You know, I mean, I got some new music, some new slaps. I'm gonna be performing as well.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So. You said something that was interesting. You said growing up for you was a challenge. Why was growing up a challenge? Did you mean personally or professionally?

[Friday]

Both.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Oh.

[Friday]

Just because, you know, when you're young and people see you young and you don't change much, you know, I mean, like, physically, you know, because I. I take care of myself, you know, People tend to just, you know, put you where they thought that you were. You know what I'm saying? So, yeah, it's been a challenge in that way. And then also in business, you know, just really being able to, like, have a say so. And then I just be like, okay, well, you're a kid. You know what I mean? Any child stars will tell you, you know, having a foot in control in their business is a struggle when you start young.

[Charlamagne tha God]

When did that change? Like, when did people start saying, okay, this is Omarion, the grown man, not the kid from B2K?

[Friday]

I think once I really started taking full responsibility for my independence, you know, trying different things, I think that, you know, when you're in the industry for a long time, it is peaks and valleys, you know, you're not going to have 10 hot moments. You know, I'm saying you might have a down moment, you might have a transitional moment. I think that it's okay, you know, when you're finding your way. And I feel like after my last, like, couple of projects, you know, just supporting myself, being independent, like, I started to feel like, okay, now I have control of my career. Oh, I want to put this out. Okay, maybe I should put it out this way. You know, maybe I should do things differently. You know, I grew. I grew into that. So I'm, like, very proud of that, you know, because a lot of artists don't get the chance to do that.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's true. And nobody talks about that, right? Like, nobody talks about when you're red hot and then there's an ice box where your career used to be. You know what I mean? I mean, I don't feel like you've ever been through that because you're always on the road.

[Friday]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And. And I've been gifted, you know, with the talent to be able to do many things. Like, two years ago, I believe the last. Last time we spoke, you know, I was promoting my book, so there's always something for me to do, something new that I just did that's really exciting is a show called the Wild Rose with all black. So I'm gonna be, you know, hitting your TVs in 2026. I play an assassin, so it's something different. Oh, first of all, yeah, I'm doing fighting scenes. I'm shocking and popping. So you will be seeing me.

[Charlamagne tha God]

King is now an assassin.

[Friday]

I mean, you know, I'm acting.

[DJ Envy]

Exactly.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Right, Right.

[Friday]

But, you know, the. The real true measure of an actor is to tell the truth. You know what I'm Saying, so get to show a different side of myself. I'm excited about that.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I feel like that's a natural transition for all you flexible guys. You, Chris Brown, y'all should be doing action movies.

[Friday]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whooping ass.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we got more with Amarion when we come back. It's a Friday. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning this morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Omarion's in the building. Now, what's your thoughts on R and B music? Now? Growing up, there was always R and B groups, right? Whether it was white or black, whether it's New Edition or Pretty Ricky or B2K or whoever it may be. Boyz II Men, you don't see that now?

[Friday]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Why is that, and why do you think that is? And what's your thoughts on R B music today?

[Friday]

I think that R B music is an ever evolving, changing, you know, just like all genres of music, you know, country coming back, I feel like it goes through a type of evolution. I think R B is. Is definitely rearing its head back in the sentimental and expressive way that we talk about our emotions. You know, that's why I loved R B. I loved R B because, you know, there was this sentiment that, you know, if it was your icebox, you know, representing your heart, these metaphors that kind of allow men to express themselves. So I feel like it's. It's in a. It's in a dope state. Like, one of my favorite songs out right now is Mutt by Leon. So it's like when people like him and, you know, some other new artists that, you know, have really put the time in to express their emotion, I feel like it's. It's going back.

[DJ Envy]

I was talking specifically groups.

[Friday]

Oh, okay.

[DJ Envy]

Groups don't see that anymore. Do you think? People don't want to put the time and energy and effort into it anymore? They want a quick turnaround, I think.

[Friday]

Is that that's a factor. And I also feel like. I don't know if there's. I haven't seen a lot of people band together outside of, like, hip hop and gangs, you know, I'm saying, like, it's not. I'm pretty sure there's some out there, but not at the forefront yet. And I feel like that time, you know, maybe within a year or two, we'll probably see some. Some really dope. But it's just like, I think everybody also, too, have the expectation that at some point in time, they'll break up, you know, So I think that there is a brotherhood, a type of brotherhood you have to kind of display.

[DJ Envy]

And also, you know, Jagged Edge was here. Yeah, they were talking about people don't sing to the vagina anymore.

[Friday]

Yeah, like, they don't ask, they don't beg.

[DJ Envy]

Why you looking at me like that?

[Charlamagne tha God]

You talking. That's kind of crazy, yo.

[DJ Envy]

They don't ask, they don't beg anymore.

[Friday]

Yeah, the vagina has changed.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Has it been getting made now you gotta make sure they're not genetically modified?

[Friday]

Yeah, the vagina has changed.

[DJ Envy]

What do you mean it's changed?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Definitely change.

[Friday]

Yeah, I feel like, you know, you know, there's this thing called soft girl era, you know what I mean? And I don't know, it's just. I feel like it's so materialistic, you know? I mean, like, in order to really swoon a woman, you have to really find a particular type and you have to appeal to her, you know, differently than you maybe had to appeal to her, generally speaking, back in the day, you know what I mean? So I would say it's. It's different. You know, how you can wake up those senses. It depends on the woman, you know, I mean, because some women will not be turned on by a nice guy, you know? I mean, some women get turned on by ass and people who are disrespectful and call them out their names. Some women are really just into that, you know. I mean, some women, you know, vagina only get with money, you know, I mean, it's a little bit different. And you have to be more specific if you really want to entice a woman, you know what I mean?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Lyrically, doesn't that require us to vibrate height? And what I mean by that is if a woman is only used to eating fast food, but yeah, you know, she out the country and she eat a real fruit and you like, damn, I didn't know mango in Jamaica, you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Know what I'm saying?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So don't that require us to vibrate higher?

[Friday]

I agree. Yeah, I agree. That's. That's the tip I'm on, you know what I mean? Outside of being mature and having my experiences, you know, really just being able to have a good conversation, you know, an in depth conversation. Somebody asked me the other day, like, what are some of the questions that I asked on, you know, a first gathering? I don't call them dates.

[DJ Envy]

The gathering.

[Charlamagne tha God]

First gathering?

[Friday]

Yeah, gathering.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Why do you call it a first gathering? Gather.

[Friday]

Because I think a date carries a Certain level of expectation, you know, whether that be a place or whether that be a price budget, you know, I mean, I think a gathering kind of keeps it on a very, just non assuming, low level expectation. And really when you're getting to know somebody, you don't need much, you know, you just need conversation and great questions, you know what I'm saying? And nice ambiance. So yeah, for my first gatherings, you know, I asked very serious questions, you know, like, you know, what is your purpose in life? You know what I mean?

[Charlamagne tha God]

What is your intention with this? I'm sorry, what you gonna do to it, baby?

[DJ Envy]

That's not a gather.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's a great question. Do you know what you're doing, baby?

[Friday]

Do you have another experience? But yeah, questions like that.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But I think you set the tone because they see you. Oh, so they see you on Instagram, they see how you've grown and evolved. They see what you on. So they feel like they got to be there too, I would think.

[Friday]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I definitely have my own personal challenges as well because again, you know, we are a vibration of people. You know what I mean? So sometimes things can look good on the outside, but then once you really get into it, you like, oh, there's some, there's some things you have to fix that I can't help you with. My timeline is like two years. I give myself two years with the person to really figure out if I'm, you know, gonna continue with them. You know what I mean? I gotta see their family, I gotta see their best friends and we actually have to go through something to see if you can be in my life. Fasting is a part of, you know, being with me too.

[Just Hilarious]

I know.

[Friday]

I got an actionist. I've seen a tick tock go viral where Raven Simone has said she was.

[Morgan]

Pregnant by you a long time ago.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Like in the younger days when the hell that happened.

[Friday]

So this is, you know, the Internet is a wild place. So if you look at the regular interview that they did, someone edited it and they, and they had her saying that because what happened, what she was saying on set, that, you know, they had this certain level of expectation and people thought that, that she was pregnant with my child while she was with K. Young.

[Morgan]

Okay, yeah, they cut it.

[Friday]

Yes. Yeah. So she didn't actually say that. Okay. Yeah, she didn't say we.

[Morgan]

Were you ever messing around?

[Lauren LaRosa]

That was all speculation and everything.

[Friday]

I. I never been in a room but naked with her. You know what I mean? Right. Oh, yeah. But we did live in the same apartment complex when we were younger. There was this complex back in the day. All of the entertainer kids stayed there, so.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

Really?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, it was like a complex with all, like.

[Friday]

Yeah, I mean, everybody that was making money.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Really?

[Friday]

Yeah, everybody lived there. Three LW lived there. Raven, Simone, a bunch of actors. Yeah, just a whole bunch of people was in Studio City.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I feel like a TV show.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I was ready to see.

[Friday]

That's what's up before the TV show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was pretty good fun. Going to the gym and seeing whoever.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Friday]

Okay. You working out today now what time?

[DJ Envy]

You was applying a little bit of pressure on Neil Long.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Can't believe you for that, my brother. Yeah, yeah, I saw her this weekend. I didn't see her present, but I saw her on Instagram at Mayweather party. Oh, my God.

[Friday]

Oh, she's beautiful. I would love to work with her.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'd love to teach y'all to dance.

[Friday]

I would love to work with her.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Have you ever really shot your shot?

[Friday]

No, actually, after that moment, we were at, like, a party and she was occupied, so. Yeah, no, I didn't get the chance to look at her. In her eye, we're both Scorpio, so I'm not sure what the energy would be like. But yeah, once y'all catch that eye contact. Yeah, no, she's. She's a beautiful woman. And then, you know, also, I don't know. I don't know how young her son is, but yeah, I don't know how. I don't know how young she goes. I don't know how exciting she wants her life to be.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's me along, you know, she's still shooting that shot. You hear it?

[Friday]

I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

She wants her life to be right.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Now, 55, maybe 51.

[DJ Envy]

I don't think.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, I don't know.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Neil Long is.

[Friday]

I got to go look. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got to look it up, but yeah, you know, I'm not afraid to learn.

[Morgan]

So what is your.

[DJ Envy]

54.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But, yeah, 54, that's not even old. Yeah, yeah, they ain't too old for you, 54.

[Friday]

Nah, not when it's near long. Not when it's near long.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Cuz I know some other 54s.

[Friday]

Yeah, I said. I said my age cut off would be like 47, you know, I mean, but a young. A young 50. A young 55. Yeah, I would definitely, you know, I mean, have a gathering.

[Charlamagne tha God]

They all killing the young girls, by the way. Facts, Neil Long, the Sinai late, Angela Bassets of the world. They killing these.

[Friday]

That's facts. That's facts. I would love to, you know, get in, get into their mental state.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we got more with Omarion when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's ej, Jess. Hilarious Charlamagne tha guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with Omarion. Jess, what is your relationship now with B2K?

[Friday]

I always will honor, you know, my group, my foundation, and, you know, where I come from as far as personally, you know, we don't really have a relationship.

[DJ Envy]

None of them.

[Friday]

Not really. You know, I will say that Boog did come to one of my shows and we chopped it up, you know, so there'll always be a type of love there. You know, we grew up together and yeah, you know, we did something in all of our lives that no one in our lives did, you know, I mean, so I think that there's always an honor system there, you know, not to speak negatively ever. And it just be like, yeah, you know, that was that.

[Morgan]

Did you guys know each other before the group started or you guys were brought together as the group?

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's.

[Friday]

We were brought together as the group. Yeah. The first time I met them, it was at a New Year's Eve party and they performed and I performed and it was like, you want to be the lead singer? I was like, yeah. So, yeah. So, yeah, yeah.

[Morgan]

And what about you and Marcus Houston?

[Friday]

Are y'all close or no?

[Morgan]

Okay, got you.

[Friday]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

I don't know why we thought y'all was real brothers. That was all we did, you know.

[Friday]

That was our thing. That was our thing back then, you know, I mean, anybody that was a part of the camp was fam. You know, that's like, oh, that's my cousin. You know what I'm saying? But yeah, no, Real blood time.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You were one of the few people who probably experienced real celebrity, right? Because I don't feel like there's real celebrity no more. Everybody should be a celebrity now.

[Friday]

That's true.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Like, y'all had to, like, like, run from crowds, be ducked off in disguise. Like, how did that feel? And was it hard to. When you weren't feeling it anymore?

[Friday]

You know, it was amazing to, you know, look back on it. There was some times where, you know, I think Bug got hurt. He got lifted up into a crowd. It was like a dangerous. You know what I mean? Because five little strong girls is stronger than the biggest man. You know what I mean? But looking back on that time and having it, you know, be a part of my experience as far as the organic, you know, energy between you and your fans was amazing. And when it changed, it changed. Not just for me, for everyone. You know, I think you still have a little bit of a fandom still today, but it's viewed different. It's almost like, are you okay? Why are you screaming?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Are you okay?

[Friday]

You know, I still receive that love, you know, no matter where I'm at on the planet, people still come up to me and be like, wow, my childhood. Can I take a picture with you? So I always appreciate, you know, the influence that I've had on people's life experience through music, through movies, through. So, yeah, I don't feel no way about it. You know, I definitely feel like, you know, a sort of an elder on the scene, you know, I mean, that has had all the experiences.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So it's just different when you got the. When you were a child star.

[Friday]

That's what I'm saying.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That I guess that kid fan base, you know what I mean? Like, they act different.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Than everybody else, period.

[Friday]

And those fans are still with me to today. I'm so thankful for those fans that stuck with me because we're able to put on the Millennium tour. We're able to, you know, bring that nostalgia back on the planet. Which, by the way, before the Millennium Tour, you know, that wasn't the show. That wasn't the, you know, the set list for, you know, all of these productions. You know what I mean? To have a little bit nostalgia in your production, you know, is a great thing.

[DJ Envy]

What was the craziest story that you.

[Friday]

Remember as a child and a girl being in our room before we got there? You know, the security would have to, like, check the room. I always thought that was weird because, you know, nobody's in the streets.

[DJ Envy]

How would they know what Room. How would they.

[Friday]

Girl sitting in there crouching down. Soon as we walk and we like, oh, yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So it was a green room or like a.

[Friday]

It was a green room. And then on my personal room, we, like, one of the workers just let themselves in. And I was like, half sleep, and I woke up like, what are you doing?

[DJ Envy]

Was a girl, she was trying to.

[Friday]

Gather, and she was like, hey.

[Charlamagne tha God]

She was trying to gather you.

[Friday]

I'm like, while I'm asleep?

[Lauren LaRosa]

No.

[Friday]

What are you doing, though? You gotta go.

[Just Hilarious]

Damn.

[Morgan]

Wow.

[Friday]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that was when it was, like, a little scary.

[DJ Envy]

That's when you was a kid?

[Friday]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Jesus Christ.

[Morgan]

Damn.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Did you find that your fans grew with you?

[Friday]

Yes.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Okay.

[Friday]

Yes. A lot of them. I mean, a lot of them still, you know, still pop up to the shows and come to the meet and greets and everything.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So.

[Friday]

Yeah, yeah. Girls I grew up with, from New York City, they knew who they are. You know what I mean? Still come to my shows. They got kids, got. Got work, all kind of stuff.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So you ever bring any of the kids and they got baby hairs and, you know, long. Yeah.

[Friday]

I say, what's up to that?

[Morgan]

Kids?

[Friday]

Kids named after me?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Named after you?

[Friday]

Yeah. Kids named after me and everything. Like, yeah, it's. It's. It's a few kids out there named after Omarion.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Do they look like Omari?

[Friday]

No, no, no.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Could they be mom's kids for real?

[Friday]

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

[DJ Envy]

Dancing at the. At the Ghost at the meet and greets? That's what you're asking?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, yeah.

[Friday]

Nah, nah, nah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Okay.

[Friday]

No, I haven't met any of those yet, but I'm pretty sure that I've, you know, inspired some kids out there.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What about Bow Wow? You think you and Bow Wow will ever do a joint album again?

[Friday]

I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I feel like if I'm gonna do, you know, any collaboration, whether it be rapper, singer, I feel like they have to have, like, current music out, you know what I'm saying? Music that and, you know, current music of the last maybe three to three years, you know what I'm saying? So, yeah, if I'm gonna do a collaborative, it's gonna be like, okay, new music, we working on new vibes.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Why is that? Just because you feel like, you know, if you made music in the last three years, you actually care. You're active.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Friday]

You're active. You know, I mean, like, you. You know, what's. You know, as far as producers, you know, I mean, like, what does that look like. And also I feel like you, you have a, like a better shot at putting something out, you know, like visuals. I think that, that today's artists, like, there's so many things that you have to do in order to, you know, really be visible. You know what I mean? So I would want someone as, not just, you know, visible, you know, on social media, but like in the music too.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I feel like you and Leon will cook a together.

[Friday]

Oh yeah, that would be dope. That would be dope.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Have you ever reached out to Leon?

[Friday]

No, no, no, not yet. But we've crossed paths. Yeah, we crossed paths. I love to see what he's doing, you know what I mean? Like, he's actually a child star too. You know, he's someone that started very, very young. So to see where he's at today is just, is awesome. I feel like that's, you know, it's very rare to see a lot of child stars continue on and continue to transform. And that's what I've always loved about music is you don't have to stop or you don't have to essentially get old. You know, you can pick up a, you know, a flute, you know, you can pick up an instrument, you can write, you can direct. You know, it's so much to do in our business.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What's the one thing you wish you knew when you first started your career? What? 40 year old Amari? What would he tell 16 year old Amari?

[Friday]

I think about like life insurance policies, you know, trusts, you know, just certain things that, you know, if you wanted to take a break, you could, you know, I'm saying that's something that I feel like, you know, finances. I just, I wish I would have, you know, been given that game earlier on. I felt like, you know, maybe I would move differently, you know, if I had that. But, you know, everything is, is for a reason.

[DJ Envy]

So yeah, definitely check them out on Tour. Millennium Tour 2025.

[Friday]

What's the date we at the Barclays? March 21st. Y'all pop out.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, March 17th.

[Friday]

Oh, it's March 17th.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's what it says here. I don't know, maybe.

[Morgan]

Well, let's change for my city because.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I know Baltimore, March 16th, arena and then Barclays is the next day. March, March 17th.

[Friday]

Thank y'all so much.

[DJ Envy]

Just side note, we've seen Drake beat you in the dance battle too. A dance battle. And Drake killed him.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't believe that.

[Just Hilarious]

I didn't see that.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But I know, I know that destroyed him at his birthday party.

[DJ Envy]

Oh, he was at a birthday party. Yeah.

[Friday]

I was keeping it light skin.

[DJ Envy]

We up one.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't believe that happened. It was your birthday party.

[Friday]

No, it was his.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Oh, okay.

[DJ Envy]

All right.

[Friday]

Well, it is.

[DJ Envy]

It's the Breakfast Club of Marian.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

All right, well, let's get straight to.

[Charlamagne tha God]

The mess Worldwide mess on the Breakfast Club. She's a culture.

[Morgan]

I'm back, and I got the mess.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Talk to me.

[Morgan]

All right, y'all. So last hour, we talked about Baby, and I gave y'all some more details. But I did want to mention Drew Finland, who was Baby's attorney, did send me a statement on this. He did not address the arrest warrant, but he says says the part of the press conference on Wednesday by the Atlanta Police Department that made an obvious reference to Dominique Jones was completely in total nonsense. To say that he couldn't shoot a music video in his hometown, a place that he loves and has continued to uplift, is disgraceful. Even more, the location for a major music video shoot is a decision made by a professional team. It is not a decision made by any individual. Bringing his name into a conversation regarding a terrible crime for which he had absolutely no involvement in is unprofessional, unethical, and shameful. Dominique is devastated about the situation because those children came from the same neighborhood he did. And he will continue to build up his community in any way he can.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm not even a lawyer, and my dumb ass know that. Yes. That's why I said it just felt like a reach to connect him to something like that. Over shooting a music video. Right. Even if it isn't a rival hood, I don't know what that means. But even if it is in a so called rival hood, well, we will.

[Morgan]

Continue to follow it. But I did want to get that in because Mr. Finland sent that over for us because he saw our report yesterday. But moving on. So we had Jim Jones on the show, and Jim Jones talked about a lot of stuff. It was a great interview. But he talked about a potential versus with 50 Cent, and 50 Cent has responded. Let's take a listen to what Jim Jones said first.

[DJ Envy]

It has platinum records, gold records, number one records. It's not too many in New York.

[Friday]

I got more solo records than most.

[Just Hilarious]

Of them that really hit. Remember that? You dig? Like, I got a lot of gold singles and a lot of. I got some action with me. It's gonna be hard for a lot of people from New York to win what cap are.

[DJ Envy]

And I got freestyles.

[Just Hilarious]

I could. I could do it. I have a In New York City. It's gonna be hard. I would say that for anybody.

[DJ Envy]

It sounds like he want to do one with 50 Cent. That's what it sounds like. Sound like Jim, I don't want to.

[Just Hilarious]

Do nothing with that sucker. Leave me. Leave him out.

[Charlamagne tha God]

The conversation. You did that on purpose.

[DJ Envy]

New York. And that's the only one that has a cat.

[Morgan]

I know he was thinking, and I just didn't want to say it. Yeah. So after that, I. I knew.

[DJ Envy]

And they chopped it up because I said fabless first. I said fab first, and then I said 50. But.

[Morgan]

But the people are reacting most to the 50 Cent because we know the obvious issue with Jim and 50. 50 Cent responded and he said he posted the clip of the interview and his caption says he has the emoji eyes. Delusional. Jomo only got one song, Balling written by Max B. Better shut up before I have true life chasing you around the city again. Then he said, effing punk. So I don't know if that sounds like he wants to do the verses or not, but basically you just started some trouble.

[DJ Envy]

50 was clear, I think, before where he said he didn't want to do the verses right. He said he wasn't doing verses. He said it wasn't beneficial to him.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I mean, but I would. I would. I think anybody would tune in. I would tune in for that one.

[Charlamagne tha God]

50 got way too much commercial smashes for me. For Jim, it's people like Styles P. Fabulous. Nah, I think Fab got too many commercial smashes too. Like. Like, Jim makes a lot of great jd Kiss, hip hop, Jada. Kiss got too many commercial matches too.

[DJ Envy]

But he got a lot of street records.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I think Jim and Styles would be fantastic. Two street artists who make that type of street music. I think they would be good in A versus.

[Morgan]

Well, we won't get. I mean, we might get to see the other ones. We ain't going to see 50, but maybe something will come of this because that clip is going crazy online as well as a few others.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And I don't want to see two cancers on stage.

[DJ Envy]

You don't want to see a gym.

[Charlamagne tha God]

There's no telling what that could be.

[Morgan]

Cancer.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Cancer, too. Yeah, I have no telling what that could go. Yeah, he's a cancer too. Don't tell him where that could go. I don't want to see that.

[DJ Envy]

We know where it would go and we don't want to see that. Especially on television.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't want to see that.

[Morgan]

Well, in other news, Stefan Diggs we've been talking about him a lot lately, but this is a different type of story involving him and a young woman. So he is suing one of his exes, a woman named Mulan Hernandez. So he just filed a lawsuit against her. He's accusing her of assaulting him and threatening to torpedo his career and attempting to extort him for millions of dollars. So he says in in documents that he found this week that he had a casual relationship with her for a few months and one day she showed up at his apartment around 6am back in June of 2024 after she was out partying and allegedly she began to aggressively berate him. He stated that she entered his gaming room and ignored his instructions when he told her to leave. And despite his attempts to diffuse the situation, she continued to go off on him. Eventually he says that she shifted her focus to his like possession. So she destroyed one of his like PCs 130k watch and even tossed his phone in the toilet. She was really upset. Then she claimed then dig says that she allegedly punched him in the chest several times and said you won't be playing this year, which he took as a threat to his pro career. He eventually left the home after she refused to leave and he says that she proceeded to distance him. She he proceeded to distance himself from her following the incident and after several attempts to not like, she tried to connect with him but couldn't, she tried to resort to extortion and she tried to do this using one of her homegirls. And this is I guess a homegirl that was also present during the altercation. Now he says that she visited a hospital initially that evening for nausea and vomiting after falling due to a wet floor in the kitchen. But then on June 14th she went to a different provider that she claimed she had a similar she, she said she had similar symptoms after being punched in the back of the head with a closed fist. Diggs says that he has never put his hands on her and says that any physical contact, any physical contact that did happen was out of self defense. He also says they had no contact with her leading up to the second doctor's visit, that she's claiming that she was physically assaulted and he's also claiming that she's tried to extort him for millions and he's hoping that this lawsuit is going to put it into it. It so I thought that this lawsuit was interesting because normally with athletes it's the other way around. So I thought that this was an interesting lawsuit because it's him basically trying to Protect himself in this. And trying to, I guess, I quiet the noise. So she kind of back up off him. He's on both women, actually, for trespassing, intentional infliction of emotional distress, assisting or encouraging, aiding and abetting of conspiracy. And he's also suing Hernandez for assault and conversion. He's seeking relief of over $250,000, but no more than $1 million dollars. So he is saying, do not play with him.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Get your money, King. Protect yourself at all times. That's the name of the game.

[Morgan]

Yeah, I'm not. I mean, listen, this is all alleged, but if this is what he got to do, I'm not mad about it. Anybody should protect themselves in a situation like this. Now, lastly.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Nope, we don't have time for a last one.

[DJ Envy]

That's it.

[Morgan]

Dang, it was some more trouble that y'all started up here.

[DJ Envy]

Well, that's the mess. Thank you, Lauren Charlamagne.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Who you giving that donkey, too, man? We need Marjorie Taylor Greene to come to the front of the congregation. We like to have a word with her. Please, please.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we'll get to that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You're checking out the Breakfast Club. This is America. There is no question that there are.

[DJ Envy]

Problems in this country between police and community.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes, you are a donkey. To the latest on that police killing.

[Morgan]

Of a black man.

[DJ Envy]

Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Really bad day for him, and this.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Is what he did.

[Morgan]

And so we are in a state of emergency.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Okay. White supremacist violence is and always has been the number one threat to our society.

[DJ Envy]

But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.

[Charlamagne tha God]

To the Breakfast Club, bitches.

[Friday]

All right, Charlene, please tell me, why was I your donkey of the day?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Donkey of the day for Friday, February 28, the last day of Black History Month. Right. Goes to Marjorie Taylor Greene. Because Marjorie said during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that federal workers don't deserve their paychecks. You can't make this kind of stuff up. Let's listen.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You can protest all you want outside.

[DJ Envy]

Of departments of this government.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You can protest all you want, but.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The American people disagree with you. You're protecting the bureaucracy. The bureaucracy is not a business. Those are not real jobs producing federal revenue, by the way, they're consuming taxpayer dollars.

[Morgan]

Those jobs are paid for by the American tax.

[Lauren LaRosa]

People who work real jobs, earn real.

[Morgan]

Income, pay federal taxes, and then pay these federal employees. Federal employees do not deserve their jobs.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Federal employees do not deserve their paychecks. And these are jobs that can be fired at will. You can protest all you want.

[Friday]

Out.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm so confused. Federal workers are not real jobs and don't deserve their paychecks. I'm not the highest grade of weed in the dispensary. I tell y'all this all the time, but last time I checked, federal workers play critical roles in maintaining government functions, public safety, national security. What do you mean when you say federal jobs aren't real jobs? You got to be specific because. Are you trying to say military personnel isn't a real job? I can't think of a real job job in protecting national security. Intelligence officers, the CIA, nsa, FBI, FEMA workers, air traffic controllers, TSA agents. Listen, I'm medium, okay? So correct me if I'm wrong. Not only do I believe those are real jobs, not only do I believe those people deserve their paychecks, I believe they don't get paid enough. FDA inspectors, VA doctors and nurses. Nurses, postal workers. What are we talking about here? Marjorie Taylor Greene. What would we do as a society without some of these federal workers? I really want to salute all the federal workers out there dropping a clues bombs for all the federal workers. You know why? Because federal workers are humans. And humans deserve to have jobs to make money. Humans deserve to be able to pay their bills. Humans deserve to be able to pay their rent, their mortgages. Humans deserve to live. And when you have a job, okay, you are able to provide for yourself and provide for your family. And when you don't have that, the stress and the anxiety and. And the depression and the anger and the rage that comes from being unemployed, I don't wish that on anyone, okay? I told y'all, I was in Maryland a couple of weekends ago for my daughter's cheerleading competition. And it was folks coming up to me telling me how they either lost their job or were about to lose their job, okay? I remember one brother from the fda. He was white, okay? And his wife was black. And he said he didn't know if he was about to lose his job and his wife may lose her job because of the attack on dei. So there's a real, real fear and pain that is happening in this country from federal workers, all because Elon Musk and Doge don't know what they're doing, okay? For some reason, we learned nothing from history in this country, okay? Doge, they know what they want to do, but they don't know what they're doing. And let the record show, I am all for reinventing government. Let me say that again, I am all for reinventing government and cutting waste and improving performance in federal agencies. But there is a constitutionally correct, lawful way to do it. And President Bill Clinton showed us the way from 1993 to the year 2000, okay? It was called the National Partnership for Reinventing Government. And they aim to make the federal government more efficient, more effective, and more responsive. And guess what? It worked. Okay? America had a surplus of money during the Clinton era. Go do your Googles. It's right there for us to learn from. And one of the main reasons it worked is because President Clinton and Vice President Al Gore worked with federal workers. The same people Marjorie Taylor Greene just told us don't have real jobs and don't deserve their paychecks. They worked with these federal workers, and they encouraged frontline federal employees and managers to identify problems and suggest solutions. They didn't just dismiss them the way Elon Musk is and the way Marjorie Taylor Greene just did. What do you mean federal workers don't deserve their paychecks? That's a broad generalization. Okay, some federal workers don't deserve their paychecks, but that's why you get authorized bipartisan congressional legislation. You work slowly over several years to identify inefficiencies. You involve federal workers in re envisioning their jobs. So when you cut, you cut fat and not muscle. The blueprint to do this correctly and legally is right there. Bill Clinton showed us the way. But Marjorie Taylor Greene would rather attack the victims of the incompetent instead of attacking the incompetence of Elon Musk. In doge, Marjorie Taylor Greene has clearly shown she doesn't care about her constituents who work in the federal government. So why do her constituents care about her? I have an idea to make government more efficient, and we can reduce waste in Congress by simply not voting for people like her. Please let Chelsea Handler give Wjari Taylor Greene the biggest Hee haw. Hee haw.

[Friday]

Hee haw.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That is way too much dang mayonnaise. All right, correct me if I'm wrong, okay? That's what the YouTube comments are for, because I am medium retarded.

[Morgan]

You're not supposed to use that word medium.

[Just Hilarious]

Right?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I know. I am largely retarded.

[DJ Envy]

You, well done.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Are the average, average retarded age for a person. Huh? What do you think?

[DJ Envy]

No, no. You. You.

[Morgan]

You're.

[DJ Envy]

You're above average, okay? When it comes to that, like, short bus, like. Okay, all right, well, tick tock. Took us off because he said that word. Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Chinese spyware.

[DJ Envy]

Anyway, all Right. Took us right off as soon as you said that. All right, well, thank you for that, Dog in the day. All right, when we come back Friday, we'll be joining us R B singer Friday. You know, Friday from God. God. It's God did, right? God damn.

[Charlamagne tha God]

God damn. God damn.

[Morgan]

I wish you would have just continued so we would have knew what you was gonna say. You would be saying some stuff.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we'll be back. It's the Breakfast Club.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, for sure. Yeah. You gotta stay consistent.

[DJ Envy]

How you feeling, though, brother?

[Just Hilarious]

I feel amazing, man. You feel me? It's been 18 months since I dropped my last project, so the fans been waiting on this. I feel good, I ain't gonna lie.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What's changed over the last 18 months.

[Just Hilarious]

For you, personally and professionally? Yeah, I'll go personally. Just coming in the industry last time, it was like my first foot in. Now it's like I'm experiencing everything all at once, you know what I'm saying? Like, the highs and the lows, just everything that come with the fame. It's been like a tricky past year, you know, Especially losing my dad. Lost my dad last year. Just at the highest point of my life, while I was on tour, selling out shows, I got the call. I lost my dad. So just balancing that and working on the album.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You was in Europe when you got that call, right?

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, it messed me up bad. Like, I get chills just talking about it. Cause I wasn't there when he died. I just could see him going. You feel me? His eyes open. I couldn't even talk to him. You know what I'm saying? Like, it, like, bring real trauma. Like, I cry every time. Like, I could.

[Charlamagne tha God]

They put you on FaceTime with him or something?

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, it was just my mom put me on FaceTime. It was like, your dad gone. Like, I couldn't believe it. I'm like, let me see. And I looked at his face. It shows all his body. I'm like, there's nothing I could do, though. You feel me? I'm 12 hours away. So it hit me every time I think about it.

[DJ Envy]

And that's for the record, I guess, with Meek Mill.

[Friday]

Proud of me.

[DJ Envy]

Because y'all both lost your dad and that's what y'all talking about in that song?

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, for sure.

[DJ Envy]

You reached out to Meek for that, or how did that song come. Come about?

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, I was at the. Actually in New York. My album was already turned in, so I pulled up on Meek at the concert, Just chopped it up. Meek showed me love. He was one of the few artists that brought me out, brought me out to my first show. 20,000 people, you feel me? So we've been locked in since. And I dropped this song like, a month after my dad died. And then Meek DM me. Like, my dad died, too. So we connected even more on that. And my album was done. Like, I made that song probably, like, two months ago, you know what I'm saying? I just called him because I knew it was gonna touch his. Touch his heart, you know what I'm saying? And we was on FaceTime for, like, three hours, you know what I'm saying? I'm like, I'm pulling up on you in New York. Like, I need this verse. Like, I pulled up on him. He told me, like, bro, I've been writer's block for the past month, but I'ma knock this joint out for you, feel me? So he was in the booth for 11 hours. Like, I watched him stay in the booth 11pm to 11am just making sure he got this done for his dad, you know what I'm saying?

[Friday]

Cause drama like that hits different.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah. Hit different. Sure, sure, yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And on. And the album is, some days I'm good, some days I'm not.

[Morgan]

Now, I can't help but to notice.

[Charlamagne tha God]

On the COVID you don't look happy at all.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, for sure.

[Morgan]

It's a dope cover.

This new commercial from Stand up to All Hate? It's Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady spewing hate at each other. But when you really listen to them, the reasons are just so stupid.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, for sure.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So a lot of people gonna be like, oh, he good.

[Just Hilarious]

Nah, it's just something that gave me happy, you know, I might. I might be messed up and just go to the. You feel me? Go to Shine real quick. I don't even gotta buy jewelry. I. I just chill in the jewelry store, just look at it, you feel me? Because it's one of my trophies to me, you know what I'm saying? I'm one of them guys. Like, I ain't gonna wait for somebody to give me a trophy, so I'm gonna go buy my own trophy.

[Charlamagne tha God]

They call that retail therapy. But it's temporary, though. Like, how long does that last?

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, it's temporary, but it's a trophy to me, you know what I'm saying? So this is something like I worked hard my whole life for, you know what I'm saying? It's equal to a Grammy. I look at this like a Grammy, you know what I'm saying? For sure.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Let me pull out my diamond test. Let me see if you should be happy about it.

[DJ Envy]

I'll stop, man, you good.

[Just Hilarious]

Go ahead.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Because you might be out here happy for no reason.

[Just Hilarious]

All the way good.

[Charlamagne tha God]

This guy's crazy.

[Morgan]

We got that old ass diamond tester.

[DJ Envy]

I was gonna ask, you know, how long did it take you to do this album? Cause listening to the album, you could you feel the pain from the first song? Yeah, from the first song. How long did it take you to do this album? And how. How difficult was it to do this album? And there's so many elements in this album that's that scream gospel.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, it took me like 18 months to do this album. Like, the last album, I was very still. Like, I ain't even going to tour yet. I just locked in for like a month straight and just boom, two months, 14 songs. But this album. I was on tour, two tours, losing my dad. So it was like, it all came together, like, in 18 months. That's why I see 21 songs on this album. It's just a process of me recording through the whole year, making good music. I couldn't even take nothing out, you know what I'm saying? And it's also a reason why it's a double disc, you feel me? I. I got a lot of fans that love the R B side of me and the other fans that love the life, you know what I'm saying? The pain side of me. So I separated in that way just. Just to feed my fans, you know what I'm saying? It's been a long time.

[Friday]

Besides, I'm sorry, you grew up in.

[Just Hilarious]

Church, that's for sure. My dad. My dad's a pastor, you know what I'm saying? That's where I learned everything. Like, he forced music on me, you know what I'm saying? It wasn't no musicians in the church. So he told me and my brothers, y'all gotta learn something. You know what I'm saying? Y'all gonna play something. And it kind of, like, came natural. Like, I was playing instruments and singing in the choir since I was, like, 11.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I wonder what the meek verse was it the writer's block or the difficulty of making the verse, or the fact that y'all was, you know, sitting up talking about grief that took 11 hours. Like, what do you think it was? Was.

[Just Hilarious]

I think it's everything, you know what I'm saying? Like, when you make a song for somebody you lost, it's like, you gotta get it done. You gotta do the best you can for that person in that session, too. Like, I got. If you look at my Instagram, I was probably crying tears the whole session, you know what I'm saying? Like, because while he was quarantined, we couldn't hear. But, like, when he finished his verse, even though he lost his dad when he was a kid, a lot of the stuff he was saying, like, was touching my heart in a different way. Like, I got everything, but I just really want to hold hands with my old man on wedding day while I slow dance. You feel me? And just. I lost my dad. Then my brother got married, my pop. Wasn't that. So everything he was saying was just hitting my heart. So that. That session was a therapy session, bro. We was crying real tears in there.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What other healthy conversations have led to art?

[Just Hilarious]

I get. I get music like that. It's, like, a lot from, like, experience. Especially combos. Even. Like, I got a song called Some Days I'm Good, Some Days I'm shop on the album. Like, that was a conversation I had with my manager just finding an album title. And then we found it. And right after we found it, I just went to my basement, produced it, and just freestyle that song. So a lot of my music come from experience, for sure.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Hell, yeah. Because Empty Stomach is still my favorite.

[Just Hilarious]

Oh, yeah, she a day. That's why I love just. She been showing me love since the beginning. For real, though.

[DJ Envy]

All right, we got more with Friday when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club, Gamora. Good morning, everybody. We are the Breakfast Club. Friday's album is out today. I was gonna ask what else you've been dealing with on this album in the last, I guess, 18 months, because besides your father passing, I mean, listening to some of these songs, it seems like your friends have snaked you. Yeah, seems like, you know, your friends only out for one thing. A girl did you dirty. Like, there's so much pain, bro. I wanted to get. After he listens to the album, I said, damn, I gotta get this brother a hug. Like, you've been dealing. So what else have you.

[Charlamagne tha God]

He just wanted to hug you. Cause he wanted to hug you, man. Don't let him blame that on all that other freaky ass nigg.

[DJ Envy]

Like, something comes down. Wait for me. Like, this records never leave. Like, this records where you're hurting. So, yeah, talk about that a little bit.

[Just Hilarious]

I say, like, being the first person to make it out, it's like a blessing and a curse. When you make it out, all eyes is on you. It'll be like the closest people around you, like, they look at you to everything. You know what I'm saying? And they even blame you for everything. You feel me? Like, you just wake up and you get five calls. Like, bro, what you think about this business? Like, you feel me? I'm like, talk to me. Don't got no clue what they want to do. I'm like, all right, bet on Friday, weirdo. You don't want invested in my business, then that's another joy, you feel me? And it's like, I'll say this, like, bringing people to the water. It's a blessing and a curse because they take it for granted. I'll say. And then they blame it on you. You feel me? In a way. Like, say you bring people backstage, right? I put people in this room. They'll look at you to do everything else.

[DJ Envy]

No liquor in the room. What a liquor at no food. You ain't got no food.

[Just Hilarious]

They in the room with you, and they be like, yo, text Charlamagne, bro. I just put you in a room with. You just met 80 artists, but you worried about girls. You ain't leaving no numbers. And then you go to sleep like, yo, Friday ain't putting me in position. Only thing you could ask for is the. The door to be open. You feel me? So that's one of the things. Big things going through, like, making it out for sure.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I tell you something that I wish somebody would have told me earlier. Focus on yourself, King.

[Just Hilarious]

Nah, for sure.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Because you can travel farther alone. And then when you finally get in the position you want to be, then you can help who is worthy of being facts. You know, another thing, too, man, you say that the pain won't go away. You say that on the. Some days I'm good, some days I'm not. Not. It's like, it's not. You know, it's not really supposed to. Yeah, you're supposed to just deal with it.

[Just Hilarious]

You're supposed to deal with it, understand it more, and find the good in it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah. You said, I know. You know, you might want to escape from it, you know, have a little drink or buy some jewelry, but it's just. It's a natural thing. Like, you should be grieving. You lost your pops.

[Just Hilarious]

That's understanding. I'm learning that. I'm learning that as the days go by, like, I just understand it more. You feel me? I understand it and take it as a lesson how I'm supposed to be moving forward with my life. So. Yeah, that's fact. It'll never go away, though.

[Morgan]

I know shopping for jewelry and, you.

[DJ Envy]

Know, just sitting in a jewelry store, that's your.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's your trophy.

[Morgan]

That's your therapy.

[Friday]

But you don't have a professional therapist that you.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You see.

[Just Hilarious]

Nah, not yet. I'm thinking about it, but not yet. I just. I really just go to the studio. You feel me? I. I just. I don't know. It's kind of weird. I don't want to, like, pull my life out to somebody I don't really know. You feel me? And I don't want to pour my life out to somebody that I do know.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

Cause you might need something from me. So they tell me everything I want to hear instead of what I need to hear.

[Charlamagne tha God]

So then send you an invoice.

[Just Hilarious]

Little kidding.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah.

[Just Hilarious]

Text you and all that.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But, yeah, when you're ready, I started going to 2016. Let's do it. When you're ready.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, for sure.

[Charlamagne tha God]

That's your alarm?

[Just Hilarious]

No, I don't think it's mine, but that is mine. Sometimes I got alarms just to. You feel me? Pay this bill or something. Something like that.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Just remind me, what was that reminder for?

[Just Hilarious]

It was a gas light bill or something.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Okay, okay. Let me check this jewelry, though. I need to see.

[Just Hilarious]

Oh, there you go.

[Charlamagne tha God]

It was making a lot of noise, man. Hold on. I love when somebody step up.

[DJ Envy]

I love it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Run up in the jeweler right now.

[DJ Envy]

But it ain't making no noise.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Why it's not making no noise? Why you think it's not making no noise? Hold on, let me see.

[DJ Envy]

It's supposed to make noise whether it's fake or real.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But bus, it ain't supposed to be quiet. All right, all right, all right, all right. Told this.

[Friday]

Stop playing. This is.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, stop playing.

[Charlamagne tha God]

This is.

[Just Hilarious]

Highlighted the whole interview.

[DJ Envy]

Like, what are we doing? A little bit.

[Charlamagne tha God]

This would have been one of them days that he not having a good one.

[Just Hilarious]

That's crazy.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But I like the Come Home record too.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah. Oh, you really listen this time. You ain't listen last time. I ain't going to lie.

[DJ Envy]

Come on, man.

[Just Hilarious]

What you got? That's how the last interview was. I'm right here with Charlamagne. Like, Nyla. What else you got? Agent was 10 minutes. I text Nyla right after. I appreciate you, sis. That Joe would have been three minutes without Nyla.

[Charlamagne tha God]

No, but I like it, though, because you talk about how you put a woman through a lot of.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, I ain't say that.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What you.

[Just Hilarious]

What are you rapping about? What song you talking about?

[Charlamagne tha God]

On the Come Home.

[Just Hilarious]

Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Exactly.

[Just Hilarious]

In a way. In a way. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

But to have that level of self awareness.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, that's a. That's a great record, writing wise, you know, it's special. Like, it's just explaining, like, is it too late for me to come home? Like, me being outside late and doing all my dirt and just coming home. You know, when you come home, you don't feel like you don't want to give nobody a hug. You gotta wash up first, you know what I'm saying? It's like one of them songs. Yeah, yeah, for sure.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You say you steady trying to cover up your filthy side. I come home with a lot of baggage. I've been hard to manage.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, for sure. That song crazy. And it's not even about love. It's about. About whoever you're coming home to. You know what I'M saying, even if it's your kid, even if you come home to see your mom, you gotta clean up like me. I'm coming see my mom. I gotta take a shower. If I'm doing something crazy, you know, for sure.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I once saw you say, don't lose yourself in the music business. Can you explain to me which one?

[Just Hilarious]

What song I said that on?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I don't think it was a song. You just was. It was in an interview or something.

[Just Hilarious]

Okay. Okay. Yeah. It's just like, you just gotta stay grounded. And I feel like I came in this game a little different. So I can't speak for like, like the, like the hungry artists that's like, want to be everywhere. Want to be at all the parties, want to be at all the sessions. But I feel like when you hungry, you'll eat anything. You feel me? When you starve and you'll go for anything, it's like, damn, I'm hungry. I'll go to this party, I'll go to this studio session. Not even know who going to be there.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Might be Diddy.

[Just Hilarious]

Not even know who going to be there. Like, you might go there. You don't even know what's going on. It's not even laid out to you. You feel me? And I feel like that's. That's how a lot of upcoming artists lose themselves. They so hungry, it's like they'll go anywhere. You know what I'm saying? A lot of the stories I hear I can't relate to because I'm just at the crib making music with my mom to this day, you feel me? And I stay with my brother. So that's how you just gotta stay grounded and just. And just focus on the music. Everything else is gonna come. Yeah, for sure.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Some days I'm good, some days I'm not.

[DJ Envy]

Album is out right now. Pick it up.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What? Success. Team Friday, everybody.

[DJ Envy]

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

[Charlamagne tha God]

The Breakfast Club.

[DJ Envy]

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lola Rose is here, and it's time for pasta.

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, dj, come spin now. Come spin.

[DJ Envy]

What's up, Nyla?

[Nyla Simone]

What's up, guys?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Big Nyla. Nyla, what's happening?

[Nyla Simone]

Oh, nothing new. Just another Friday and I'm back again with the vibe, so I'm gonna.

[Charlamagne tha God]

First of all, how was your event last week, though? Your producer event?

[Morgan]

Oh, the Battle of the Beast.

[Nyla Simone]

It was a 10 out of 10. I had such a good time. The producers were actually really fire. The person who won is actually From South Carolina.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Really?

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah. He's friends with Jehovah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What's the name?

[Nyla Simone]

One Take.

[Charlamagne tha God]

One Take. I don't know. One Take, though.

[Morgan]

One Take is a great name for a producer.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah. Shout out to One Take. He did really good. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to give him the prize, though, because it was like, speakers and he didn't live here. But it's cool. But we're definitely going to do that again. I think I'm going to do that a little more periodically, especially because producers just don't really get any, like, shine.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Or shift him as speakers, please.

[Nyla Simone]

You know, if there's any, like, music companies who would love to be a part of. Of the prizes for the producers, definitely tap in with me and then maybe we can just ship the gift to them.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yes.

[Nyla Simone]

Because do you know how much it would cost me to ship a speaker?

[Charlamagne tha God]

It doesn't matter. You want to be a promoter, you're through the event. It's the battle of the beats.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah. I got him something up. I gave him something up.

[Charlamagne tha God]

What you gave him?

[Nyla Simone]

I gave him a. Don't worry about it. I gave him something else.

[Morgan]

It's not as great as Charlotte trying to sponsor the speaker send or what?

[Nyla Simone]

I know, right?

[Morgan]

Big money.

[Charlamagne tha God]

It's not my event.

[Nyla Simone]

South Carolina's very own. These are your people, not my event.

[Morgan]

You said you don't be doing nothing for your hometown. What's up?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I hear that all the time.

[Nyla Simone]

Good job. That was great.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I've only heard that once in my life from a hater, but yes.

[Nyla Simone]

Okay.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Cinema speakers, though.

[Nyla Simone]

Well, speaking of other things and events that I went to, I went to this concert earlier this week at Baby's. All right. From Noah Guy. He's an R B singer. Super, super dope. He's from Philly. And this isn't on his latest tape, but this was the song that really stood out to me from, like, crowd reaction. It's called Big Boys Don't Cry.

[Just Hilarious]

Cry.

[DJ Envy]

Big boys cry, though.

[Morgan]

Go ahead and be telling.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I mean, especially big beige boys.

[DJ Envy]

Shut up.

[Charlamagne tha God]

With beige Jing in their beard. I don't have big beige boys with Beijing in their bed. Cry, Nyla.

[DJ Envy]

I don't have Beijing. Nyla.

[Morgan]

You can start a group with that. Big beige boys. That's like a group.

[Nyla Simone]

And honestly, you could start your own line. Like, dive.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Fat Joe already did that. Joe sell paint.

[Morgan]

That song could be the soundtrack, Nyla.

[Nyla Simone]

You said what?

[Morgan]

The song could be the soundtrack for, like, his commercials and, like, when they.

[Nyla Simone]

All walk out all beige and there's something to it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I like that tune, though. That was a. That was a good tune.

[Nyla Simone]

Yes. Shout out to no guy. Okay, cool. I'm gonna keep it in the R B pocket. Johnny Venus, who is a part of Earth gang, dropped a record with Black. It's called so Beautiful. And I will say it's low key, Kind of giving me Prince vibes.

[Charlamagne tha God]

See, but you put too much expectation.

[DJ Envy]

That's a lot of pressure right now.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I'm already ready not to like it.

[Nyla Simone]

Oh, my God. Gosh.

[DJ Envy]

I like it.

[Nyla Simone]

You like it?

[Charlamagne tha God]

I like it.

[DJ Envy]

I mess.

[Charlamagne tha God]

I dig it. But you see, I gotta stop expectations. Just let us hear it. Okay, now I'm thinking. I'm about. I'm about to hear something phenomenal.

[Nyla Simone]

All right, all right.

[Charlamagne tha God]

It's good. But.

[Nyla Simone]

Well, I will say that I did hear some of his other music, and it's definitely phenomenal.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Okay, that's good. But that ain't like. I don't want to see Johnny Venus on stage with his ass out. You know what I'm saying? Prince music was so good. He could be on stage with his ass out.

[DJ Envy]

I was thinking ass out type of music.

[Nyla Simone]

I just.

[Morgan]

All right.

[Nyla Simone]

I just don't want to see him on stage with his ass out, period.

[Charlamagne tha God]

You don't take no kind of record yet. When you get to that level of musical genius that Prince did, you can have me on stage with your ass out.

[Morgan]

Rest in peace.

[Charlamagne tha God]

To the God.

[Nyla Simone]

I'mma. Okay, I'mma play you some other stuff because it's there. It's there to me. It's given. Like Prince mixed with Andre.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Stop. Johnny Venus, she's setting you up for failure.

[Morgan]

Stop.

[Charlamagne tha God]

It's dope.

[DJ Envy]

It's a dope record.

[Morgan]

Thank you.

[Nyla Simone]

It's a dope record. Make sure you guys tune it out. Black is on there, too. He has a. A great feature, but. Okay, so I want to get into the Stallion Currency record. And I just wanted to shout this one out because I seen Wiz Khalifa doing remixes to, like, Kendrick record. He did a remix to J. Cole's Cloud. So I'm just excited because I really feel like it's 2010 again with the nostalgia.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Yeah, I went ahead. I'm gonna go listen to it later.

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, it's a phenomenal record. I've had it on repeat since it's dropped. And then also I heard some unreleased bitter records that are also 10 tough too. So it's going to be a good year for rap. I know I said that earlier this year, but I just want to get into my very last one. I'm going to take it to the west coast. Is Ray Von. He dropped a record called Cemetery Ladder.

[DJ Envy]

Okay, I like that.

[Friday]

Love it.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Loved it. What's the difference what he said? He said, what's the. What's the sense of dying for a rep and you're gonna be dead by the summer? I mean, I'm paraphrasing cuz I just heard you think the streets gonna love you like your sister, your mother, it was fine. They gonna cry for you like your niece. Well, all right. Shout out to Rayvon or am I tripping?

[Nyla Simone]

Yeah, okay.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Salute to Rayvon.

[Nyla Simone]

Yes, I like it. But I will say that I. On my tape that's coming out this year, we did sample the same sample and the beat is way fired. But Rayvon did do his thing. Okay, but if you guys like what y'all heard, make sure you guys follow me on Instagram at Nylasimone. That's N Y L A S Y M O N E E E. And then make sure you guys follow. It's a certified vibe. We're gonna have our next event on on March 21, and then we're also starting our very first bi weekly party. It's gonna be a rap night. Records like Rayvon record to be played. Then, you know, records like R and B joint, rza, Wu Tang. No, no, no. The R B party's at Saint this is a new spot called Damballa that just opened in Brooklyn. Really cute. So make sure y'all pull up on me, all right?

And today he's just gonna give you a rundown of all the black history he covered this past season. Let's discuss on today's episode.

[DJ Envy]

If I didn't know, maybe you didn't either. Can we just take a moment to reflect on this journey through black history that we've been 28 episodes in one month.

[Charlamagne tha God]

We did it.

[Just Hilarious]

On season four of.

[DJ Envy]

I Didn't Know, maybe you didn't either. We covered everything from Dapper Dan flipping the script in fashion to Paul Revere Williams literally turning the table on racism in architecture by mastering upside down drawings. Bro was like, oh, you don't want to sit next to me in the meeting? Cool. I'll just hit this flip and still be the best in the room. Now that's some petty energy that we can all get behind. We highlighted the women in season four.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Like Grace Wisher, the 12 year old.

[DJ Envy]

Apprentice to Betsy Ross that stitched up the American flag. Or Biddy Mason who went from being.

[Just Hilarious]

Enslaved to owning half of la.

[DJ Envy]

Or Alice Parker, sis invented central heating. Just furthermore proof that women been bringing the heat, you dig? But of course it wasn't all wins, right?

[Just Hilarious]

We had to talk about the ugly stuff too.

[DJ Envy]

J. Marion Sims, AKA the so called father of gynecology. Out here performing experiments on black women without anesthesia.

[Just Hilarious]

Then you fast forward that to today.

[DJ Envy]

And black women still don't get the care they deserve in hospitals. Like, how are you more likely to die? From sterilization stereotypes than actual diseases.

[Just Hilarious]

But we also showed love to the culture.

[DJ Envy]

HBCUs like WSSU and FAM, the first black football game that was us. Even discussed the parallels of HBCUs and PBIs, predominantly black institutions. Then the language they used back in the day, like drapedomania, that what they called enslaved folks who wanted to escape. Like, oh, you want to be free? Oh, that must be a disease. And now we're here, done. And I know you like, damn, that's gotta be it, right?

[Charlamagne tha God]

Nip.

[DJ Envy]

In the words of Jesus Christ at that wedding when they ran out of wine. Let's keep the party going. Starting in March, we dropping new episodes every week. And it's not just black history anymore. It's anything that I didn't know.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Maybe you didn't either.

[DJ Envy]

For example, did you know Jaleel White Urkel auditioned to play Rudy on the Cosby Show?

[Just Hilarious]

Yeah, Rudy was supposed to be a.

[DJ Envy]

Boy, but Keisha Knight pulling pulled up and was like, yeah, I'm him. Or here's something else that I didn't know.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Maybe you didn't either.

[DJ Envy]

A snail's mouth is smaller than the head of a safety pin, but they got 20,000 teeth. Oh, yeah. We diving into all the random, weird and amazing stuff that I didn't know.

[Charlamagne tha God]

Maybe you didn't either.

Who was on the phone with me for an hour and a half yesterday, just breaking down dogs and the types of dogs. And I just want to say thank you to that brother. I know he owns a business called Regal Dobermans, but I just wanted to say thank you because he didn't have to be on the phone that long.

[Charlamagne tha God]

And you found one?

But he was just telling me that, you know, different dogs and their temperament and, you know, hair and, you know, do they shed and. And he. He's very knowledgeable.
