Yes.
Tyson Beckford
At 36 points. That, that much I know.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Tyson Beckford
All right.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's up, Morgan? You see, we don't know much about sports. It was, it was a crazy weekend.
Morgan Wood
Hey, girl.
Just Hilarious
Yeah, no, I, I. Hey, look, I, I can relate. It's okay.
Morgan Wood
That means you were.
Just Hilarious
You were in the moment in your car show. That's all good. So let's get into some front page news, though. First on front page, a video of police in Jacksonville, Florida is going viral after they were seen beating a black man and dragging him out of his car. It like it seems to keep having these incidents. It happened to a man, his name was William McNeil Jr. During a traffic stop on February 19th. Officers say they pulled him over because he didn't have his headlights on in cloudy conditions. I cut the video off right before they started cursing. So I want to play some of that audio for you guys. But even still, it may be hard for some to listen to. Let's listen to McNeil's recording of his stop.
Tyson Beckford
When he pulled me over, he walked up, open my door, cuz my window don't work right. And then he, I said, I said, so what I did wrong? Yeah. He said, well, for one, your headlights are off under this weather. I'm like, okay, there's multiple people, headlights on, first of all, and then there's. And then there's no rain. It doesn't matter. You're still required to have headlights on. Can you, can you pull that low up? Huh? Can you put that lower? Yeah, when you step out of the car, I will. Can you put. Can you call your supervisor? Can you call your supervisor? All right, go for it. Exit the vehicle now. Exit the vehicle. Show me your hands. Here.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm here.
Tyson Beckford
What is your reason, sir? What is your reason?
Lauren LaRosa
Step out now.
Tyson Beckford
No, no, don't. Don't.
Morgan Wood
Stop.
Tyson Beckford
Fight. Put your hands on your back. Put your hands behind your back.
Lauren LaRosa
What the hell happened?
Tyson Beckford
That escalated quickly.
Just Hilarious
Yeah, what, what happened very quickly. So as you heard in the video, he couldn't roll down his window, so he opened his door and then, you know, he felt, you know, a little like what was going on. So he wanted a reason as to why he was stopped and he didn't feel like his headlights was a, you know, enough reason. But the incident did leave McNeil with a concussion, short term memory loss, nine stitches in his lip and a chipped tooth. Now, he has already secured legal representation with Benjamin Crump and Harry Daniels. Now, one of the office can be seen or heard in the video claiming to have found marijuana in his right pocket. Now, marijuana is still illegal in Florida, but it is a misdemeanor.
Tyson Beckford
That's still no reason to treat him like that. I don't want to hear it like even saying that don't even make any sense. Oh, he had marijuana in his pocket. So what? That don't mean that you, you know, drag him out the car.
Charlamagne Tha God
But they didn't even know. They didn't know it was in his pocket.
Tyson Beckford
Like.
Just Hilarious
Absolutely, absolutely. And I was going to say, I seriously doubt that that warranted the response of this magnitude from law enforcement, but I anticipate civil rights violations and excessive force to be explored with this case. And just to. In the video, the officers were white, Hispanic and black. There were all black, white, Hispanic officers involved in that incident. And a statement from Jacksonville Sheriff's office really quickly saying that they are aware of the video circulating on social media showing the traffic stop. They have launched an internal investigation into it and the circumstances surrounding the incident. They hold their officers to the highest standard and are committed to thoroughly determining what really occurred. Now, court records also indicate that McNeil was charged with marijuana possession, not having headlights on and not wearing a seatbelt. He has a allegedly pled guilty to resisting and driving on a suspended license. It's a terrible incident.
Tyson Beckford
Regardless, so and so for just him asking, what's the reason it escalated to all of that?
Just Hilarious
That pretty much, yes.
Morgan Wood
That's the law, obviously that stated that you can't drive with within cloudy conditions without having your headlights on.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, in most places you have to have your lights on all day. That's why they have daytime running lights on the cars. Now you got to have your lights on all the time, but that ain't enough to pull somebody out of car. Was he resistant? Did he not want to give us lights? I guess there's more to the story. We'll find Out. Because that sounds crazy.
Morgan Wood
Yeah, for sure.
Just Hilarious
I'm sure it'll develop. And I will. I will, of course, keep you guys posted on it. So stick around.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, Everybody else, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Let us know what you did this weekend, how your weekend was. If you need to get some things off your chest, whatever it may be, call us up. Right now, phone lines are wide open. 800-585-1051 is the breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.

DJ Envy
We do. Shannon Sharpe has settled that $50 million lawsuit accusing him of rape. We gonna get into the conversation.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay. All right, we'll get to that. Next, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Lauren LaRosa
The Breakfast Club.
Tyson Beckford
Yeah. It's the world's most dangerous morning show. The Breakfast Club Charlemagne. The God, DJ Envy. Just hilarious. And it's time for the Latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Morgan Wood
Lauren becoming a straight face.
Charlamagne Tha God
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
DJ Envy
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Tyson Beckford
She'd be having the latest on you.
Lauren LaRosa
The Latest with Lauren LaRosa, sometimes we.
Tyson Beckford
Have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit every Breakfast Club talk to me.
DJ Envy
So Shannon Sharp in that 50 million dollar lawsuit accusing him of rape of a Dane, a Jane Doe, will be settled according to Tony Busby, who is the attorney that filed on behalf of the Jane Doe in the beginning of all of this. So Tony Busby released a statement over the weekend that said, on April 20, 2025, the Busby Law firm filed a complaint in Nevada making several allegations against Shannon Sharp on behalf of her client. Both sides acknowledge a long term consensual, but tumultuous relationship. After protracted. After protracted and respectful negotiations, I'm pleased to announce that we have reached a mutual agreed upon resolution. All matters have now been addressed satisfactorily and this matter is closed. The lawsuit will thus be dismissed with prejudice.
Tyson Beckford
Did they say how much he settled for? He.
DJ Envy
They have not said how much he settled for. But if you guys remember, in the beginning, Tony Busby had let us know that there was like $10 million offered when they were having a settlement conversation. And then Shannon Sharp's attorney came out and mentioned that they offered a good amount of money because they were trying to keep the intimate details of this whole, you know, Contained. Yes. Private or contained. So NBC is reporting that it'll probably be upward of that $10 million because that's where they started in the beginning.
Charlamagne Tha God
It sounds so, so crazy, right? Because he was trying to pay, so none of the details came out. But then they wind up putting some.
Tyson Beckford
Of the details out anyway because they wanted more money and she sued.
Charlamagne Tha God
But I wonder, does this start a precedent of, of other people saying, oh, now I'm gonna sue, or now this happened to me because since he paid her 10, should I get 10, should I get five, should I get three? Should I get one?
Tyson Beckford
Well, he acknowledged the relationship, so that's the difference. It's not like she just made an accusation. They actually had a relationship.
DJ Envy
Yeah. And then. So there have also been reports that the woman involved, who is listed as a Jane Doe, will now be leaving only fans following this resolution, I'm sure. Now I will say so. This is a statement that per reports were posted to her Instagram, the Jane Doe's Instagram. I went to her Instagram and didn't see this. It was removed. But per reports, there was a post that she, she put out that says, today I've decided to retire from OnlyFans. Thank you for the incredible support you've shown me over the past few years. This community has given me a life I could have never imagined. I'll still be active on social media and have several new projects in the works that I cannot wait to share. I'm truly excited for this next chapter. I love you all forever and ever. And on the repost to her story it said what a journey it's been.
Tyson Beckford
Just for the record, there is no reason for a 50 plus year old man to have gotten got by a 19 year old only fans model. Okay, Those should be immediate red flags for a 50 plus year old man. And I hope men are learning from these situations. You have to have discipline. You have to control your urges, control your desires.
Morgan Wood
Why are we calling her Jane Doe if we already know her name?
DJ Envy
Because if she was filed as a Jane Doe, it's just the thing you're supposed to do as you're reporting it. But if you guys remember when the state when Shannon Sharp dropped his statement, he identified who she was which made her team come back and release some things and all that stuff. But me personally, I just stick to what that they're filed under just to be, you know, safe.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, basically she got it.
Tyson Beckford
Imagine retiring somebody from only fans.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's crazy.
Tyson Beckford
That's.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's.
Tyson Beckford
Come on man. Like you said, if those aren't immediate red flags and you 50 plus years old. I'm 19 and I'm an only fans model.
Charlamagne Tha God
19 at 52. Oh Jesus.
Tyson Beckford
Come on man. I mean Shannon Sharp's case, he should have been acting his wage and dating his age and none of this would have happened.
DJ Envy
Yeah, well in other news and other crazy relationship or whatever news, this is the Astronomer, the company astronomer, their CEO. Over the weekend it was announced that this CEO would actually be placed on a leave. That was a first update, right?
Morgan Wood
So this is situation, right?
DJ Envy
Yes, this is the CEO who got allegedly caught at the Coldplay situation on a Jumbotron with someone that was not his wife. A lady that was not his wife who also works for the company Astronomer. So Astronomer released this statement and, and they said co founder and Chief product officer Pete DeJoy is currently serving as interim CEO. Given that Andy Byron has been placed on leave, we will share more details appropriate in the coming days. So that hit first, then after that, not too long after that, the following day, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron actually resigned from the company. So this statement says they're committed to the values and the culture that have guided them since the founding. They mentioned that he resigned in that the board of directors because he was listed on the board of directors as well has accepted his resignation. Before this week, they say we were known as a pioneer in the data ops space, helping date data teams power everything from modern analytics to production AI. While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not. We're continuing to do what we do best, helping our customers with their toughest data and AI problems. So basically, it was a. It was a distraction, so he stepped away from the company once again.
Tyson Beckford
What are men learning from these situations? Men are really losing it all for just a lack of discipline. Like, at what point do you just say to yourself, it's not worth it. You grown, you want to cheat, you want to be with someone else? Just tell your significant other so you don't end up in situations like this. Right.
DJ Envy
Tell. Tell your significant other that you want to cheat.
Charlamagne Tha God
No. That you don't want to be with someone, you don't want to step out. Yes.
Tyson Beckford
Or you might want to say, hey, I want to see other people I know.
Charlamagne Tha God
You don't know.
Tyson Beckford
Like, I would rather do that than that, especially if you're going to live like you single anyway. Yeah, he was at a Coldplay concert with a. Who? Another chick, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
But I do wonder if, if the chick that he wasn't cheating with, allegedly, if she didn't work there, would he still have to resign?
DJ Envy
I'm not for sure, you know what I mean?
Charlamagne Tha God
Because this is his personal life now. It could be foul. It could be just, you know, disgusting. But if. If that other lady, if that woman wasn't human resources at that company, allegedly, would he still have to resign? Would he still be fired?
Tyson Beckford
Who writes him up? What the hell?
DJ Envy
Well, I did reach out to the company after these statements went down, only because I wanted to know, did you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Reach out to human resources?
DJ Envy
No. They have PR people handling this. I don't know what's happening in human resources right now, but I reached out because I wanted to know the woman in the situation who does work with their staff and their, you know, their HR department, what happens on her behalf? Or, like, does anything not happen because of. Is there a power dynamic? Like, how does that work? How are they working through that? They haven't responded to me on that, though. But there hasn't been any word as to, like, what on her side of things, if anything is going on.
Tyson Beckford
So what are men learning from these situations? Where is discipline? Control your urges, control your desires.
Charlamagne Tha God
And these are both older men.
Tyson Beckford
These are grown men, like, not 30 years old.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, you should know.
Tyson Beckford
You can't Cheat the game. These ain't young mistakes. Like, these are. You know, I get it when you're young. These are not young mistakes, y'. All.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right.
Morgan Wood
Jeez.
Tyson Beckford
And you got everything to lose. And you willing to lose it just because you got a lack of discipline and can't control your urges or you.
DJ Envy
Can'T please because you like Coldplay or.
Morgan Wood
You just get too comfortable.
Tyson Beckford
You, like, cope.
Morgan Wood
They obviously been dating for a while.
DJ Envy
They obviously like the band. They went there.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, well, that's the latest with Laura. Now when we come back, we got front page news. And don't forget, Tyson Beckford will be joining us this morning.

And it was Team Kalier is it Koya versus Team Clark. And Team Collier won 151 to 131.
Tyson Beckford
And Colombia Nafica. Colombia, she actually was the MVP of the game too. She had 36 points.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yep.
Tyson Beckford
And you know, the women were out there making a statement. You know, they came out there with T shirts that said pay us what you owe us.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right. Right now they're, they're, they're going through their collective bargaining right now for next year. And that includes, you know, tv, the jerseys, the merch and all that other.
Tyson Beckford
They got a big ass TV deal that they just signed a 2.2 billion dollar TV deal. I do wonder what they're doing old though. I mean, because, you know, the shirt says pay us like you always. I was thinking that that was that they shortened the Jay Z line. Pay us. Pay us like you owe us. Well, no, that's not the same thing. Well, but pay us what you owe us. I wonder what. They're old.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm not sure.
Tyson Beckford
I wonder.
Charlamagne Tha God
What's up, Morgan?
Just Hilarious
Hey, y'.
Tyson Beckford
All.
DJ Envy
Hey.
Just Hilarious
Let's continue with the theme of sports real quick. So President Trump wants a pair of pro sports teams in the NFL to bring back their former names, or at least the NFL and mlb. Now Trump posted on Truth Social on Sunday that the Washington football franchise and the Cleveland baseball team should return to their original names. The Washington dropped the name redskins following the 2019 season and became the commanders before 2022. Cleveland underwent a rebranding in 2022, all after changing its name from the Indians to the Guardians. Now Trump posted on Troops Truth Social, basically saying that the heritage is prestige and systemically being taken away from them. Times are different now and then. They were three, four years ago. We're a country of passion and common sense and told the owners to get it done. So yeah, Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians, that's what he wants.
Tyson Beckford
And he said he wouldn't approve the zoning, the zoning of the stadium if they didn't change the name, which is crazy.
Just Hilarious
That's Yes, a lot of people don't know that. Actually the Washington team, the Washington Commanders, actually play in Prince George's County, Maryland. And there is a deal on the table right now to bring them back to RFK Stadium, which is named, it's currently named RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. and there that seems to be quite a little bit of a situation between D.C. and the current administration and the team.
Tyson Beckford
So that's now when you, when you hear him say stuff like that, when you hear him say I'm not Hey, what up y'? All?
Charlamagne Tha God
It's DJ Envy. The first few months of 2025 have been quite a year. Work deadlines, group chats you can't escape, and your weird cousin's latest overshare. It's a lot. But here's some good news. You don't have to bring that stress into your car. The all new Nissan Murano is your piece on wheels, thanks to its available features.

Just Hilarious
Panoramic moonroof, ambient lighting, bows and massaging leather appointed seats are optional features.
Tyson Beckford
I'm going to agree to finalize the deal for the new stadium if they don't change the name. You really think he didn't tell Paramount the same thing in regards to their Skydance deal? Now you know why CBS gave him that 16 million and now you know why Colbert show is coming to an end. Like it's really that simple.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yo that but like can you really think about it? You gonna tell me what to name my team and if you don't have nothing to do with zoning has nothing doing anything else. But I'm not going to prove your zone if you don't change the name of your team. That's not crazy.
Tyson Beckford
By the way. They probably want to change the name back to Redskins. They probably never want to change it to begin with.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't think they ever did. I don't think.
Tyson Beckford
But that whole woke cancel culture that was going on. That's why he probably did that.
Just Hilarious
Yeah. Someone who has come up in the era.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Just Hilarious
It was a mixed bag for sure. Let's get into some international affairs. A Trump administration official says a hostage deal with Hamas could be coming soon. In an interview with cnn, State of the Union special envoy for hostage release Adam Bowler says Israel Israel's military success against Iran has sparked renewed confidence, adding Hamas should accept a deal. Let's take a listen to his comments.
Tyson Beckford
I think post Israel winning Iran, there's a new sense of ability to get something done. My recommendation to mosque would be take the deal that Israel that the United States is offering you. Let's get some people home and let's move to end this conflict.
Just Hilarious
So Bowler's conflict. Excuse me. Bowler's comments come as the conflict in the Middle east does continue. In recent strikes, the Israeli military reportedly killed Hamas commander Bashir Tibet, who oversaw weapons development. During a major strike In Gaza, over 100 civilians, including aid seekers, were killed, further intensifying global concern over Gaza's humanitarian crisis. Of course, evacuations have been issued causing mass displacement and panic among civilians. So I'll keep you guys posted as to what's going on in the Middle East. Now, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. She's accusing the Obama administration and their officials of treason, claiming they withheld intelligence on Russian interference in the 2016 election. In an interview with Fox News Sunday Morning Futures, Gabbard alleged that this was part of an effort to harm President Trump and accountability is needed. Let's take a listen to her comments.
Tyson Beckford
They decided that they would do everything possible to try to undermine his ability.
Just Hilarious
To do what voters tasked President Trump to do. Those responsible, no matter how powerful they.
Tyson Beckford
They are and were at that time, no matter who was involved in creating this treasonous conspiracy against the American people.
Just Hilarious
They all must be held accountable. So the Director of National Intelligence Gabber declassified documents Friday that she said were evidence of the Obama administration manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for the FBI probe into Russia's election interference. Gabbard's claims come, of course, as the Trump administration is still dealing with controversy surrounding the Epstein file. So try to pass the buck if you want to, but we gonna get back into that because in other presidential news, let's talk about the Epstein files or lack thereof. Now President Trump says lawmakers are. He calls lawmakers. He says lawmakers calling for the release of the Epstein files are troublemakers. He made the comment in a truth social post on Saturday after the Justice Department asked federal judges to unseal grand jury testimony in the criminal case against convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Now, Trump wrote, even if the court gave us its full and unravel unwavering approval, nothing will be good enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics making the request. Now, the comment also comes one day after the president sued the Wall Street Journal for revealing a letter Trump reportedly wrote to Epstein. But let me tell you something, the Wall street journal is standing 10 toes. They said. Well, the Dow Jones said that on Friday that it has full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of adding it will vigorously defend against any lawsuit. So, yeah, Trump is suing the Wall Street Journal owner Rupert Murdoch and Dow Jones after they reportedly released that letter to Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003.
Tyson Beckford
I want to go back to what you were saying about the Tulsi Gabba stuff too, Morgan. You know, last night Trump posted an AI video of Obama being arrested saying nobody is above the law. I think that is a deflection from the Epstein files. You know what I mean?
Just Hilarious
But absolutely.
Tyson Beckford
But we can't act like we didn't know Trump was going to go after all so called political enemies. Which is why once again, President Obama shouldn't have been key keen with Trump at President Carter's funeral. I know Michelle is on his head at the house. See, I told your stupid ass, okay? I told your stupid ass not to be up there keying with that man. Now look, he trying to get your ass locked up.
Morgan Wood
Yeah, pretty much.
Just Hilarious
All right, y'.

Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, but see, that's the thing. They put that label on you and you stuck with it. Cuz there's only two labels they hit you with in the industry. One, you either gay or two, you a playboy. Or what's the third one? Oh, you just like white women. I dated like three white women my whole life and then boom, I'm stuck with this title. So another reason I got on the show, it was trying to kill all of that stuff right there. You know, she's not around no more, she's not on radio no more. Which we know. Yeah, that one started the rumor. I don't know why she started that rumor on me. But you know what? Karma hit your ass.
Tyson Beckford
Good for you.
DJ Envy

Lauren LaRosa
No, I'm not. Hey, damn. No F's given. I'm gonna try not to swear.

Tyson Beckford
Oh.
Lauren LaRosa
So he came here for my life.
Tyson Beckford
Got you. Gotcha, gotcha.
DJ Envy
When was this?
Lauren LaRosa
This was a few years ago. This was a few years ago when I lived up here.
Tyson Beckford
What did he say to you?
Lauren LaRosa
He just was, hey, yo, I want you to come to my party. I said, really, bro? After all that, y' all talk about me on the radio, Y' all wanna have me up there, you know, party? I said, yo, my man, get away from me. He was like, yo, who you think you is? Try to play tough with me? Everybody tries to play tough with Tyson, but they don't really know where Tyson come from. BX in the building. So, you know.
Tyson Beckford
You know, I remember one time I was at a party with Wendy and you was in the party, and she said, how you doing? To you? And you went, yeah, yeah. I'm like, get the.
Lauren LaRosa
Sorry.
Charlamagne Tha God
Sorry.
Lauren LaRosa
Now I gotta stop cursing. Sorry. She gonna give me a bill.
DJ Envy
Wendy told us, though, that she. Oh, yeah, she wants to change. Like, she would love. You know, she wants to write some wrongs and stuff.
Tyson Beckford
No, what she actually said? We was all at this. She said. No, I'm saying what she said because based off what you said about the karma thing, we went to dinner with her, this probably a few months ago now. She said, I feel like I'm in the position I'm in because of how I used to talk about people.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. And I said, cocaine is a mother.
Tyson Beckford
What?
Lauren LaRosa
Cocaine is a very dangerous drug. They'll do things to you, make you do stupid things when you mix the cocktails that her and him was mixing. Well, anyway, we didn't come over here and talk about that. Just saying, just saying. King's Court is a show on Bravo.
Morgan Wood
That's right.
Lauren LaRosa
Sunday nights, 9pm yeah, lots of fun. But you know, I'm cutting up on that show too.
Tyson Beckford
So now listen, you got to be you. I will say that one thing about the karma thing. I, I, I, I do believe in karma. I don't know if karma works necessarily the way people think it works. Like you just, yeah. Put negative out and negative comes back to you. Because there's a lot of good people that, you know, bad things happen too. Yeah. You know, but like I said, we.
Lauren LaRosa
Just, we are, we just out here, this is an industry where we just trying to feed our family, you know, do good, give people entertainment, have a good time and you know, not being, not getting to anything, you know, because that's what gets, that's what gets you to stress.
Tyson Beckford
I do struggle in therapy with.
Lauren LaRosa
When you go to therapy.
Tyson Beckford
Yeah, I've been going, oh, right on for like 10 years. But when to let go of thing.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes.
Tyson Beckford
Meaning like, yes. I know somebody might be, I know they might have did me wrong, but how long do I hold on to it? No, I can't.
Lauren LaRosa
You can't live rent free in my house or in my head. No, I can't do it.
Tyson Beckford
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
So I, I've been let it go. But sometimes when I get a chance.
Tyson Beckford
To clap, I'm a clap.
Morgan Wood
Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
You know, it's like when I go to Gun Rage. If I'm put your poster up, I'm letting off.
Tyson Beckford
You know, put people's post up when you shoot. Ah, don't say that.
Lauren LaRosa
I don't say who put pictures up, but I do put pictures up. You know, bad guy guys.
DJ Envy
Bad guys did those rumors like.
Morgan Wood
I love it.
Lauren LaRosa
5, 5, 6. Like to go off, baby.
Morgan Wood
He's a very serious person. You are fun. He wants you to know. Listen, I greeted him. I'm, I'm like star struggling. I'm like, hi, Tyson.
Lauren LaRosa
He like, well, and then, you know, nowadays, you know, what you got? Yeah, People.
Tyson Beckford
People.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, he touched me inappropriately. So for me, when I meet women in the street and I'm taking pictures with them, I make sure, you know, it's a different time before you can hug somebody and say, hey, how you doing?
Morgan Wood
I know now you just got to.
Lauren LaRosa
Be careful because they gonna hit you with a me too. Oh, he, he rubbed my bra strap. Oh, man. Not Tyson Beckford. Don't get me in no trouble. Tb, mind his business. Stay out of Trouble.
Charlamagne Tha God
We're still kicking it with Tyson, Beckford, Charlamagne.
Tyson Beckford
I think we need to bring it back to the beginning just a little bit, because if you. You. If you don't know what we're talking about. Tyson is credited as being the first black male supermodel. Your mama, your grandma, everybody had their posters up on his wall, and they locked us at school. What did that title mean to you then and how has it aged now?
Lauren LaRosa
So for me, it was like I wanted to make sure that we looked good always. You know, that's why I never really got in no trouble. I never got caught up with nothing because it was such a title bestowed on me. You know what I mean? Working for Ralph Lauren, they were such nice people. And, you know, to this day, I'm still part of that family. And it's just important to always hold your head up and give young black kids somebody to look up to. Because I remember growing up, like. I mean, I was looking up at people like Shaft, Richard Roundtree. I had a chance to meet him, and he was telling me his story how he started off as a model, now he's an actor. And, you know, and I met Laurence Fishburne one day on the street, and he was like, brother, we're waiting for you. And not even a few years later, I was in Biker Boys with him. So, you know, and then my first night on set, we were shooting nights, so we had a dinner break, and I got to sit with him and talk, and he was just like, yo, brother, we gotta. You know, we had a scene together. He was like, yo, you gotta bring it. You know? And I was like, all right, well, I'm here. You know? And he was like, yeah, you remember that day in the. In New York, we talk about this. So it's like. Like when you start to get those things and those gifts and, you know, you work towards all that stuff and you get these auditions and, you know, it's important, man, because. Yeah, when. When I walk into, you know, a fine hotel, you know, the staff looks at me and say, hey, Mr. Beckford, how are you? Like, this morning, I was leaving the hotel, and they were like, Good morning, Mr. Bedford. I was like, good morning. You guys have a great day. You know, and that's. And that's respect. That's like, oh, yeah, we don't like that guy. It's none of that. It's always love. So I try to wanna be the best that I can be as a black man, because there's so much pressure put on us. And, you know, every time you turn on the news, one of us doing something that's not good. So every time I come on the tv, I want us to be something like, man, I'm proud of that brother. That brother's good from where he came from and what he used to do and what he's doing now, it's a big difference, man. So I thank God every day that I got this life, you know, and then you just got to protect it. You gotta stay. Stay cool, stay away from the baby oil. But I do like baby oil, you know. But, yeah, you gotta stay away from. Yeah, you gotta stay away from all that stuff because, yeah, there's that temptation. You could have been invited to them baby oil parties, but you said no, you know, you could have been on. You know, I was invited to come to that thing that Epstein had in South. In Africa. I didn't go.
Tyson Beckford
I was like, nah, I'm good.
Lauren LaRosa
I don't know him.
Tyson Beckford
What did he have in Africa?
Morgan Wood
Not you typing the same. He was on the list.
Lauren LaRosa
So, no, I'm not. But, yeah, no, I mean, there's like. Sometimes I sit back and I see some of the stuff on the news. I was like, I know that Mo try to get me, you know, so it's like, things that. It's there. The opportunity for you to get in trouble, it's there. You just gotta know, like, nah, I'm go home. Like, I have this friend who's a model as well. His name is Corey. And Corey always say, hey, and he's from Tennessee. Said, ain't nothing good happened after 2. 2am Thompson Beckford. I'm already in bed. I'm in the house by six. You know, I don't. Ain't no need to be outside. Ain't nothing going on. If it ain't work, I ain't going.
DJ Envy
I know you mentioned the baby oil hot. And I know you maybe use it.
Lauren LaRosa
On set, you know, to give that shine.
DJ Envy
I know you and Diddy have had y' all things.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, I mean, I. I so want to tell a story about how we got into it in the street. And a lot of people don't know that story, but one day I'm gonna tell it. If you ever have a podcast, I sit down with you and tell you the whole story.
DJ Envy
This is a podcast.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, but I don't got the time.
DJ Envy
I was gonna ask.
Lauren LaRosa
It's a real. It's a real street story. What happens? One day, I was minding my business. I went to go get a tattoo on Fifth Avenue. I'm gonna make it real short.
Tyson Beckford
No, you don't have to. Tyson, take a breath.
Lauren LaRosa
No, you sure are.
DJ Envy
Yeah, I couldn't wait to talk to you about this time.
Lauren LaRosa
Okay, so let me tell you a story. So I was standing in front of the tattoo parlor talking to a friend of mine, which I thought was my friend, and Groovy Lou pulled up with some girl, because you know that back then, Bad Boy used to be around the corner from 5th and 19th or 20th street, somewhere around there. So, you know, I'm minding my business. He come up with this girl and say, yo, take a picture with my friend. I say, yo, my man, I'm having a conversation. He was like, what you mean? And started getting tough with me. I said, yo, Lou, don't talk to me like that. Come on, we boys. He was like, nah, I'll talk to you ever. Whatever. I was like, nah, bro, this ain't happening. So then he swung on me, and I was, yes. And I went back like this. I said, I looked at my friend. Oh, no, he didn't. So we got to fight, and I got to beating the brakes off that man. And then a NYPD officer came by on a motorcycle, and we stopped. And then by that time, I have. I. If you look, I got a. I got a slice right here. So that's why I got that. I got six stitches in the top of my head because I ran him into the wall, and then my head also hit the wall. So blood's coming down my face. I have on a. A wife beat, a tank top for those who don't know. So I put it on there. You know, the bleeding. You know, stop the bleeding. And the cop says, what's going on? He knew damn well what was going on. But he. He looked like he was about to go turn in the bike and go home. So we both were like, yeah, nothing. So he left. And then I went to go after. After Lou again. Lou ran around the corner. We know where he went. He went upstairs to Bad Boy and brought down Puff and some other goons, maybe about five, six people. So my homeboy Wes, which we're not friends anymore, he dipped on me. So they start coming at me, and Puff started talking junk or whatever, and I'm backing up. I'm like, yo, my man, I want this. Y' all don't want this. So my Land Cruiser was on. I think was on 6th Avenue or something. This was before 9 11. I had a pistol grip, Mossberg in the back, which, you know, trust me, I know. I know why I needed it. So I went to the back, opened the Land Cruiser, cocked it. I said, look, I only got five in here. Puff, you gonna get it first, and, big man, you gonna get it first. The rest of y', all, I'm just gonna. I'm gonna shower you with it. So that was, you know, the gist of the whole story. And then Puff went and called my manager, and he was like, yo ma, yo ma, yo, boy.
Tyson Beckford
Wow.
Lauren LaRosa
She said, yo, he's Jamaican.
Tyson Beckford
Leave him alone.
Charlamagne Tha God
He.
Lauren LaRosa
He will done you. So, yeah, I mean, I could have saved the world a whole lot of trouble and took him out back then, but then where would I be?
DJ Envy
So y' all haven't made up, really?
Lauren LaRosa
I mean, we cool. Our kids went to school. I'm. I'm not cool with him now, obviously. I mean, I ain't seen the man in years. Years. But, yeah, he. He know that, you know, don't mess with me.
DJ Envy
So that was.
Lauren LaRosa
That's how I became friends with some of the. The bodyguards that work worked with him at the time. And then actually, one of them. We're getting ready to produce something, too.
Tyson Beckford
You sued him once too, right?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, he didn't pay and then didn't. I don't know what ever happened to that. That didn't. Something like, oh, we're gonna give the money to the United Negro College for it or something. Yeah, yeah. So I didn't get the money.
Tyson Beckford
Oh, so you didn't win the lawsuit suit?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, supposedly. But we didn't get no money. We didn't get paid for it. It was two year contract. You know, he gave me one year of the money and then didn't, you know, he's. You know, again, karma.
Morgan Wood
And this was after. This is.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, this is after we, you know, we became cool again or whatever, you.
DJ Envy
Know, because 911 was 2000.
Lauren LaRosa
I just never. We just was never. We could never be cool because just I was too straight for him, and he was just on whatever he was on. You know what I mean? So, you know, karma's where it's at. We here talking about this, and they.
Tyson Beckford
He's. Where.
Lauren LaRosa
Where he at.
DJ Envy
I got one last question about it, though, because when the lawsuit was happening, you said that you. You couldn't understand where it came from. Like, why.
Lauren LaRosa
No, I didn't understand where it came from, but over the years, I know where it came from. You know what I mean? Where is it? We talk about that off the radio. Yeah. I'll tell you the truth. After the radio. Yeah.
Tyson Beckford
Either do it now or write a book. And if you write a book, I want to publish it. I'm writing the book.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm writing the book.
Tyson Beckford
Really, I'm doing the book.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm doing the book is being done. It's just that because I have this. This production deal for Pretty Boy, I can't, you know.
Tyson Beckford
Gotcha.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, but all of that's gonna be in.
Tyson Beckford
In Pretty Boy, there was another story.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm gonna put that. That in there because that's a cold scene, you know, standing on 6th Avenue with a shotgun.
Tyson Beckford
That's wild.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, we're still kicking it with Tyson Beckford Charlemagne since we talking about old.
Tyson Beckford
You bought. You kind of bought some of this stuff up.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah.
Tyson Beckford
You remember the rumor super Hedgehog used to say about you?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah. I mean, that's another one. Like, I mean, come on, girl. You can't.
Tyson Beckford
Like, I'm.
Lauren LaRosa
I never hung out with Tigger. I'm like, I don't even know that ninja like that. You know what I mean? I met him a couple times at the hip hop event, and that's it. But so let me tell you how that rumor started. She called me one time talking about, oh, I need some money. I need a place to stay. So evidently, we lived in Jersey together. I guess Tigger lived in Jersey, too, somewhere. And he lived. I lived in Fort Lee at the time, so he lived around somewhere in that area. And they got into some fight. So I don't know how she remembered my phone number. I called me and I was like, who this? I was like, nah, I ain't getting involved because I like to mind my business. So I denied her. And then the next thing you know, that came about, and I was like, you petty. You petty. You know what I mean? So again, these people just hating and just mad. I don't know why people want to pick on me.
Tyson Beckford
But, you know, I think over time we've all learned, like, that kind of is par for the course when you in this business. Yeah.
Lauren LaRosa
Whenever you. When you ever. You run out and, oh, I'm Tell everybody business. But, yeah, she was passed around, you know.
Tyson Beckford
No, I didn't mean that. Like, people like, oh, he's gay.
Lauren LaRosa
And that's. It's childish because he's like, what can I say to my. Get at him or get him mad. I'm the most masculine dude ever. I got gay friends. Yeah. But I have nothing, no problems with the gay community. And they always back me up and be like, no, he's not like that. He's He's a. You know, he's. He's. He's just one who looks out for us. And I don't believe in people picking on them for no reason. And, yeah, I will fight you if you. If I see you messing with somebody because they're trans or they're gay. That's just.
Tyson Beckford
Just.
Lauren LaRosa
That's not right, you know? I mean, we're all human beings. We're all people of this world. You know, we're all God's kids. But why are you picking on somebody because of their sexual preference? What do you care what somebody doing in their house? That's not your business. So I believe that, you know, people who throw that stigmatism on me or that name calling, it's just childish.
DJ Envy
Did that ever impact your money? Because I know Kim Kardashian.
Lauren LaRosa
No, it never. Yeah, never impact. Yeah, she. She learned her lesson too. You know, they. They went after her. They got her. They got her.
Tyson Beckford
Her.
Lauren LaRosa
Straighten her ass out. Yeah, they just. You know what it is? I've always supported them and everything that they do, they support me in fashion. I mean, some of the people I work with are gay, bi, and trans, you know, so it's. They're normal people to me. You know, when we're at work, we're at work. But if I see you doing something that's not right, I'm gonna say something. I'm not gonna sit back and like, you know, in Jamaica, they look down upon that. Even in Jamaica, I'm like, yo, him leave the man alone. Why you bothered him? He didn't come over here trying to hit on you, so leave him alone. So, you know, for me, I stand up for all rights.
Tyson Beckford
Did you ever feel like you had to be the goon because you were labeled the pretty boy because they was throwing the game?
Lauren LaRosa
No, I just was a goon, man. I can't help it.
Morgan Wood
I'm just a goon. I'm Jamaican.
Lauren LaRosa
I'm Jamaican. I was a goon. I mean, I was like, no, I have no idea.
Tyson Beckford
Hey, what up, y'? All?

Lauren LaRosa
I got caught up in FBI files with the. With the shower posse and just. I was a goon. I just was around goons, you know what I mean? And that necessarily didn't mean that I was going to do like they did all the time. I was a smart goon. I saw something else going on. Like, I had this love for being a thespian. I wanted to be an actor from when I was six years old. And just being in the street was just, you know, messing with the goons, having fun. And then when the red light, red and blue lights came, I was like, yo, I gotta go. You know, it's just. I never wanted to get caught.
Morgan Wood
You always knew when to leave.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, I always knew when to leave. And I just knew. And I just knew, like, I got. I got better things going on than this. I'm not gonna be no. You know what I mean? I'm not gonna be no cell.
Tyson Beckford
So how do you go from Gorin.
Morgan Wood
I was raised. How do you go from goon?
Lauren LaRosa
That's the crazy thing. Because a friend of mine was like, yo, you should model, bro. And I was like, really?
Morgan Wood
Was he a goon?
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, he was a goon.
Tyson Beckford
Okay. Yeah, yeah. He seen the potential. Yeah, okay.
Morgan Wood
And he was.
Tyson Beckford
And.
Lauren LaRosa
And even the goons wanted me out of the street. They was like, yo, bro, you. You got too much to be out here doing this. And. And before my brother got killed, you know, rest in peace, he was. He was one who said, yo, put the gun down, man, and. And get out of this business, you know, go into that entertainment. Because he saw me in the Source magazine and he was like, yo, that was. That was nice and all Lagoons seen it up in the Bronx. And it was like, yo, they would hail me up in the street. Yo, you coming in a robbery later? Nah, I' ma miss this one. You know, I literally. We used to. We used to rob drug dealers? Yeah, yeah, we used to rob drug dealers back in the day. They gonna call the police on you?
Tyson Beckford
No, they're not. Did you wake up this morning and say, you know what, I'm gonna go get indicted at the Breakfast Club this morning?
Lauren LaRosa
All of this is 30 plus years ago. Cops is retired. Now them folks, feds is gone. You know, they, they all sitting at home.
Morgan Wood
So was that their way of celebrating the Source magazine, let's go do a rob.
Lauren LaRosa
No, it was just, it was always planned. We used to call them jokes back in the day. Yeah, we're gonna go on the jokes. And we used to always. Have you always got this, or you would just be like this.
Tyson Beckford
Smart man.
Lauren LaRosa
You know, I always keep a handkerchief. It's a black handkerchief, by the way. Nypd, gang task force. It's a black handkerchief.
Tyson Beckford
Oh, my God.
Lauren LaRosa
Means neutral. Means nothing.
Tyson Beckford
But. Yeah. Why didn't things really work out in Hollywood? Like, was it a role you turned down? Like, what was it?
Lauren LaRosa
No, it's just that, you know, they're the gatekeepers. Hollywood is the gatekeepers. They want to let who in when they want to let in. I mean, I did at least 20 something odd movies like from Biker Boy, Zoolander and all of that, but for.
Tyson Beckford
Me, I never knew.
Lauren LaRosa
Yeah, I'm, I'm still looking for that script, man. I'm looking for that right script to really take that role, you know, And I remember the late Andre Harrell used to always tell me, you need to play some psycho sexy killer. Every time Andre would see me, he would hit me with that line. I'm like, andre, you in Hollywood, you tell them, let's write the script. But it's. I feel like Hollywood is gatekeeping. They'll, they'll let who they want in. You know what? I, because I, I don't, I don't, I don't hate on everybody that's out there now. But like, I, I, man, me and Idris used to go to Sue's rendezvous back in the day, you know, and then that's when Cardi and them was dancing and. Who else? Somebody else up there was dancing too. But yeah, we. Like.
Tyson Beckford
That's not back in the day, by the way.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, think about it.
Lauren LaRosa
There's what, 2099 somewhere back then?
Tyson Beckford
Yeah, Cardi would have been like 20.
Lauren LaRosa
No, I'm not saying she was there then, but I'm just saying when we used to go to Sue's. That's, that's a while back. Yes.
Tyson Beckford
You know, it's interesting. You bought a Bondre Harrell recipes. Yeah, because I'm listening to you talk and, and when I'm listening you talk, it reminds me of somebody that Andre used to tell me about, and it was Christopher Williams.
Lauren LaRosa
Oh, yeah, Chris. I know Chris. We, me and Chris did a, a couple plays together and Chris is talented as them.
Tyson Beckford
But Chris was a goon.
Lauren LaRosa
Chris was a. Chris is a goon.
Tyson Beckford
I don't know, I don't know him personally, but I'm saying I know him personally.
Lauren LaRosa
And I think it's because he was light skinned, had the curly hair. You know, I was a pretty boy.
Tyson Beckford
It's.
Lauren LaRosa
We're forced into that because people want to pick on us. So you've got to defend yourself. Like, my mom dropped me off at martial arts from when I was little. So I've been beating ass for a long time. You know what I mean? I've been in, I, I can count my street fights. I've been in 38 street fights, no losses. And I'm not out there looking for fights. But then I went to Golden Gloves and then I did, I did all of that stuff, man. And what it does for you, it just keeps you right. Like now I train with members of SEAL Team 6 in, in Florida and, you know, I trained with Coast Guard and some Miami Dade pd and I'm now certified NRA instructor for carbine, shotgun and pistol. So, you know, I know my way around because it's something that you might use in Hollywood. I mean, look at Keanu Reeves. You know, he was, you know, he was like doing the surfer movies and stuff and then boom, look where he's at now. He's John Wick, one of the scariest men on the planet. And he'd be riding the train. So, yeah, I like to do normal things, but you also got to be able to protect yourself at all times.
Tyson Beckford
Absolutely. Hey, King's Court is cool. We need the Tyson.
Lauren LaRosa
That's what I'm trying to tell Andy Cohen. Andy Cohen, I'm telling you, I need my own show.
Morgan Wood
That's right.
Just Hilarious
That's right.
Tyson Beckford
Right. Check it out, man. 9:00pm On Sundays, Kings Court. Tyson, it was a pleasure, brother.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes, brother, always.
Tyson Beckford
It's the Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Morgan Wood
Lauren becoming a straight thing.
Charlamagne Tha God
She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
Tyson Beckford
She gets the details.
DJ Envy
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
Tyson Beckford
She be having the latest on.
Lauren LaRosa
The latest with Lauren.
Tyson Beckford
Lorenzo Rosa. Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Well, it's the latest on the Breakfast Club. Talk to me.
DJ Envy
So over the weekend the WNBA All Star game went down and the players warmed up in T shirts that read pay us what you owe us. They sit in solidarity because right now their union is actually going through negotiations trying to figure out the just better situations for them when it comes to pay, when it comes to better benefits and better revenue sharing. Now during the game you also saw fans in the audience with signs that said pay the players. There were also at some points like chants of people chanting pay the players, pay them now. Different things of that nature as well. So that went down over the weekend and of course it went viral because you had notable all stars, you know, repping the statement people including Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Aaliyah Boston, Sabrina Asia Wilson, Ayahuasci Asia Wilson. I definitely said Sabrina's last name wrong. That was the closest, the closest I could get to it. But yes, so it was, it started a conversation. You know, they've always been pushing to have this conversation, but actively right now those contract negotiations are going down and, and this is happening in the midst of the WNBA announcing that they're going to be expanding. They're going to actually be adding three more teams over the next five years. Because according, you know, to everything we've been seeing, the WNBA is at an all time high as far as like, you know, people watching it and interest there.
Tyson Beckford
Right.
DJ Envy
So they want more money.
Tyson Beckford
Yeah, but people think they want as much money as the men, but that's not the case. They just want a fair percentage of the league's shared revenue. Because in the NBA the revenue is split evenly between players and owners. Everything from TV deals, tickets, merchandise sales. And I think players receive between like 49 and 50 something percent.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Tyson Beckford
Of all basketball related income. But in the WNBA it's only like 9.3% of league revenue.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, they should get their fair share.
DJ Envy
Absolutely, positively, I agree. And during this time, not even on purpose, but at the same time there was an interview that went live with Brittany Griner. She sat down with Cam Newton. Great interview. And in that interview she painted a vivid picture of why WNBA players have to go across season, how they're treated differently versus being here in the wnba. Let's take a listen to Brittney Griner on playing overseas.
Tyson Beckford
Overseas they're willing to pour into us. You know, our salaries are definitely higher. I made, I mean I had million dollar contract In Russia my first year in China, I think I was like around 5 or 6. Was definitely not making that in the W. If I was only playing W, I would have had to find something else to do, find another job, go coach. The lifestyle that we were living, being able to support my family, have the things I need for my body, it takes some bread. It takes a lot of like to pour into yourself to give a good product. So for us to go overseas, we got these teams that's pouring all this into us. Private planes. My team had multiple planes. We flew on. We had an old military plane that they had turned into like, I mean, it was lavish on the inside. Steaks, wine, drinks after the game, like, they treated us like we were in the NBA. We stayed in the best hotels. Food, it's just a different, different level over there.
Lauren LaRosa
There.
DJ Envy
Yeah. Britney Griner also during this interview, keeping it in the WNBA conversation or overseas, she talked about her time being locked up when she was in Russia and just everything that she experienced and how insane it was. Let's take a listen to that.
Tyson Beckford
I'm in this room. I don't have anything, like, I have two, three shirts. I have my jacket. I got my sweats. I got my Nike.
Lauren LaRosa
So you're still in what you.
Tyson Beckford
Oh, yeah. You in regular clothes. I mean, I didn't get a prison uniform until I actually made it to prison at the end of my, like, trial.
Lauren LaRosa
You haven't showered?
Tyson Beckford
They didn't have. Oh, no shower. No toilet paper.
Morgan Wood
Shut up.
Tyson Beckford
None of no toothbrush. Toilet in the room is a hole. It's feces, urine over everything. I have to take a shirt. I found a little rough piece, a little sharp piece of metal so I could, like, cut it. So I had the piece that, like, I used to, like, wipe my, like, body with the sink. Water. Water. And then I had a piece that I used to, like, clean myself. And that's just what I had for, like, first few days. It was the nastiest I've ever felt and been in my life.
DJ Envy
I can't imagine.
Morgan Wood
That is crazy.
DJ Envy
Yes.
Morgan Wood
Very sad.
Tyson Beckford
But I know they just didn't have her prison suit size on. On hand. Come on.
Morgan Wood
How do you know?
Tyson Beckford
Come on.
DJ Envy
No, she big.
Morgan Wood
And the Russians.
Tyson Beckford
Not the Russians.
Morgan Wood
Some big ass people over there.
DJ Envy
No, yo, stop playing. When she sat down in.
Morgan Wood
She got locked up in like, you know, Asia somewhere, you know. All right, I ain't got size.
Tyson Beckford
She over here.
Morgan Wood
We all the biggest at like.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's some big rushes too.
Tyson Beckford
Big rush.
DJ Envy
When she sat down, the first thing Cam Newton said Was like, dang, what size shoe you were? I think she said like a 14 or something like that. I'm like, whoa, yeah, like that is a big person. Huge. But yes. So, yeah, there was a lot of conversation this, this weekend about WNBA and, and fairness and all the things. I hope that the agreement actually works or gets them to where they need to be because they always have this conversation.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hopefully they get it.
Tyson Beckford
They should definitely get a fair percentage of the league's shared revenue. I mean, when you look at the guys making 49 to 51% of all basketball related income yet 9% is crazy. But I wonder if the NBA feels like we have to recoup what we put into the league first before we start doing something.
Charlamagne Tha God
I was thinking that too.
Tyson Beckford
Because the WNBA is not a profitable league yet.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right.
Tyson Beckford
So definitely operates at a loss.
Charlamagne Tha God
So maybe when they start making their money back then they can negotiate a little closer to what the men now as far as 49, they got a.
Tyson Beckford
Huge TV deal coming. It's like a over $2 million TV.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. But I don't know how much they spend on what's they, you know, but if they're making.
Tyson Beckford
Last year they lost like between 40, $50 million.
DJ Envy
Yeah. I was looking at a New York Post article that talked about the 40 million, but I was about to say, but don't you got to keep your players energized to want to perform and want to do all the things for you to then.
Tyson Beckford
Well, they keep investing in the league. It's not like they don't invest in the league. I mean, they got chartered flights now. They didn't have that before. Yeah, it's not like they're not, you know, constantly investing in the league. Yeah, they know it'll be profitable one day.
Charlamagne Tha God
Day, but you know, they don't know what that day will be. So you got.
DJ Envy
Yeah, that's it for this hour.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, well that's the latest with Lauren Charlemagne. Who you giving that donkey too?
Tyson Beckford
Man 4 After the hour. There is a 38 year old new York City man named Timothy Taylor. I don't even want him to come to the front of the congregation. Okay. He need to stay where the hell he at. But we'll tell you the story when we come back.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, we'll get to that. Next, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Lauren LaRosa
The Breakfast Club. Your mornings will never be the same.
Tyson Beckford
This on be a cuz right now.
Just Hilarious
You want some real donkey.
Tyson Beckford
It's time for donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need.
Lauren LaRosa
To be a donkey man. Hit it with the he.
Tyson Beckford
Did she get donkey today?
Charlamagne Tha God
Please tell me I have become donkey.
Tyson Beckford
Of the day at the Breakfast Club. Bitchy mother. Yes. Donkey Today for Monday, July 21st goes to a 38 year old new York City man named Timothy Taylor. I hate to start Monday off like this, but Donkey Today is about giving people the credit they deserve for being stupid. And you will not hear a more stupid story than this one today. Stupid is actually an understatement. This is more like insane, unhinged, demented, disturbed, deranged, unbalanced. This Timothy crazy, y'. All. Okay? Timothy, rightfully so, is gonna spend the rest of his life in prison. Well, what did he do? Let's go to NBC 13 for the report, please. Tonight, a guilty plea in a murder case in Schenectady County.
Charlamagne Tha God
Timothy Taylor.
Tyson Beckford
Taylor pled guilty to second degree murder and a deadly stabbing of his ex wife, Tishon Folks Taylor.
Charlamagne Tha God
It happened inside her home two years ago.
Tyson Beckford
In the house at the time of the murder were the victim's three children, if you can believe two of whom Taylor is the father of. The district attorney tells us Taylor and Folks Taylor were married for more than 10 years. With various police calls for domestic violence, Taylor is also facing charges down in Brooklyn. He's accused of killing his current wife just days before the murder murder of Folks Taylor. The DA says Taylor told detectives after he'd killed his current wife that he felt bad and he knew he had to come to Schenectady to kill his former wife. Because unlike his first victim, he said she deserved it. Y' all ain't hear what the hell just happened. Timothy Taylor killed his ex wife less than two weeks after allegedly killing his current wife. And he told police that unlike his first victim victim, his ex wife deserved it. I repeat, Timothy Taylor killed his ex wife less than two weeks after allegedly killing his current wife. And he told police that unlike his first victim, his ex wife deserved it. Let me make sure I'm clear. Timothy Taylor killed his ex wife less than two weeks after allegedly killing his current wife. And he told police that unlike his first victim, his ex wife deserved it. Un. I hate to inform you, Timothy, I don't know anything about any of these women that you killed. But I am almost positive, 100% certain, without a shadow of a doubt, that the problem in both those relationships was you. Okay? Nobody can convince me otherwise. Whatever those women said you did when they were alive, you did it. Simple as that. I just don't understand why people can't just walk away. Get divorced. Why can't people just separate? You don't want to be with a person no more, fine. That doesn't mean you should unalive them. Hell, even if you don't love them anymore, love yourself enough to not want to throw your life away, okay? Y' all got kids, all right? Now they deceased, but you're gonna spend the rest of your life behind bars. And them kids ain't got nobody, okay? If you don't like somebody anymore and don't want to be with them or they don't want to be with you, don't throw your life away by killing them, okay? You're gonna spend the rest of your life in prison and probably your afterlife in hell, when the reality is all you had to do do was walk away. Timothy Taylor killed his ex wife less than two weeks after allegedly killing his current wife. And he told police that unlike his first victim, his ex wife deserved it. Sometimes donkey of the day just isn't enough. Please let Remy Ma give Timothy Taylor the biggest hee haw. Hee haw.
Morgan Wood
Hee haw. You stupid motherf cker.
DJ Envy
Are you dumb?
Morgan Wood
All right, that is very sad.
Tyson Beckford
Horrible. It's ridiculous.
Charlamagne Tha God
Makes no sense.
Tyson Beckford
Like, why does your brain work like that? All right, I killed my current wife, so let me go kill my ex wife because she's that one that actually deserves to be dead. Huh?
Charlamagne Tha God
Makes no sense.
Morgan Wood
Wild.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right, well, that was donkey today. Thank you for that. Donkey today. Now, when we come back, let's open up the phone lines. 800-585-1051. Now, this conversation comes from David Beckham. If you didn't see David Beckham was online. It was trending. Yesterday, he was trying to cut his own hair, and he missed and cut out a bald spot, a big patch.
Tyson Beckford
As rich as he is, he cutting his own hair?
Morgan Wood
That's exactly what I said.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's what people were saying. But then when he asked people out here, when he asked his wife how it look. We got audio. Let's. Let's listen.
Tyson Beckford
The thing of the clippers fell off my head.
DJ Envy
You trying give yourself a haircut? What have you done?
Tyson Beckford
It's not funny. Let me see. Let me see. The clipper head fell off. Does not look good. I'm gonna always be honest with you. It looks terrible.
Charlamagne Tha God
So we're asking 800-585-1051 is your significant other brutally honest like that? And do you mind it?
Morgan Wood
Oh, my God.
Tyson Beckford
She's supposed to be and he's supposed to be, and you shouldn't mind it. Because, you know, that's your best friend. You know, that's the person that's supposed to keep it 100 with you.
Morgan Wood
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
I was telling. Just behind the scenes the other day.
Lauren LaRosa
I was.
Charlamagne Tha God
My wife was. I was driving somewhere. It was me, my wife, and Madison and I hopped out the car, and Gib was like, let me talk to you for a second. I'm like, what? She was like, come, come in. Let me talk to you for a second. I'm thinking of something happening because she didn't tell Madison. She was like.
Tyson Beckford
She said, you're gay, and it's starting to show.
Charlamagne Tha God
She said that before. But no, she said. She was like, your breath is hot. I'm like, what? She was like, no, your breath is hot. She was like, no, you gotta go brush your teeth right now.
Tyson Beckford
Damn.
Charlamagne Tha God
I was like. I was like, all right. She was like, no, no, no, not all right. Like, right now.
Morgan Wood
Like, go turn around. Okay. Back in the house.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Tyson Beckford

I know, man, you are. That you are traumatized.
Charlamagne Tha God
I am traumatized.
Morgan Wood
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now, what about you, Jess?
Morgan Wood

Tyson Beckford
Honest.
Morgan Wood
He's also like. A lot of people think because Chris is quiet, he's just like, you know, just. No, he's very mild mannered and all that. And he is. But he is very honest. Like, we really fight sometimes.
Tyson Beckford
Yeah. Yeah.
Morgan Wood
Because he's brutally honest. For sure.
Charlamagne Tha God
You're hurting your feelings sometimes.
DJ Envy
And I.
Morgan Wood
And I tell him that. And he's like, oh, no, no. But who else would you rather hear it from? You know what I mean? That's facts about certain things. And I'm honest with him as well.
Tyson Beckford
But.
Morgan Wood
But the thing is, I think it's the brutally honest thing, like. Cause it depends on what it is. Like, I know how to tell people something without hurting their feelings. As. As I know I'm Jess. Hilarious. And that's not really on brand for me. That's not what you've seen in the past. But, like, I know how to tell people things without hurting their feelings.
Tyson Beckford
I haven't seen it yet.
Morgan Wood
I knew that was gonna be said. But I really do. Yo, I really do.
Charlamagne Tha God
Now, Charlamagne is brutally honest person. Too honest, in our opinion. In my opinion. Why you be telling people things that you don't need to tell them?
Tyson Beckford
Like, the truth.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, but you. The way you tell people the truth.
Tyson Beckford
Listen, I'm not gonna sit there and disagree with y'. All. Cause my mama been telling me that my whole life. My mama said you and your daddy don't know how to talk to people. That's the truth. Okay?
Charlamagne Tha God
That's the truth.
Tyson Beckford
All right? But yes, my wife is the same way with me. We've been together 27 years. Like, she is probably the only person that can hurt my feelings, because I know she telling me.
Morgan Wood
Damn.
Tyson Beckford
She probably is the only person that can hurt my feelings.
Morgan Wood
Damn.
Tyson Beckford
Matter of fact, she is the only person.

Charlamagne Tha God
That they got somebody wig, you know, you know, your edges are lifting. You know, your wig to the right.
Tyson Beckford
You know, he go crazy. Smells. Women gotta tell other women about smells.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, my God.
Tyson Beckford
Okay.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's all right. If you're just joining us, we're talking about. This conversation comes with David Beckham. He was cutting his hair, and he cut himself a bald spot. And his wife was brutally honest. She actually said this.
Tyson Beckford
The thing of the clippers fell off my head. You were trying.
DJ Envy
What have you done?
Tyson Beckford
It's not funny. Let me see. Let me see. The clipper head fell off. It does not look good. I'm gonna always be honest with you. It looks terrible.
Charlamagne Tha God
So we're asking 800-585-1051. Are you and your partner, your significant other, brutally honest to each other? Hello? Who's this?
Tyson Beckford
Good morning.
DJ Envy
This is Cecel.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, good morning. Talk to us.
DJ Envy
So this morning, my man was brutally honest. He looked at my son and told him, your mom thinks she's 17 again with that dress on, with some tops. I said, more like 18, but okay. And I'm wearing it today. Still wearing it.
Charlamagne Tha God
What are you trying to say? He said. He said, did it look good? Was it hanging right?
Morgan Wood
It was trying to tell you that you need to be.
DJ Envy
I think I'm a little girl again. I'm 25. He's basically trying to be funny because I have on my Sweetie Bird top with. With a Ralph Lauren dress. I'm a Virgo. We put on whatever, but we make it cute. But he be talking about me every day. He told me to my son, your mama thinks she cute today. She thinks this look is the best. I don't care.
Tyson Beckford
Because.
Morgan Wood
Because when you tell him, you know, because when he tell you, you don't care. So we got to tell the babies.
Tyson Beckford
Yeah.
DJ Envy
In front of me, out loud.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right. Thank you, Mama.
Tyson Beckford
I can't judge any of this till I see what you look like, because you might look ridiculous. Stupid.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hello?
Morgan Wood
Who's that?
Tyson Beckford
Hi. This is Angela.
Charlamagne Tha God
Hey, Angela. We're talking about you and your significant other being brutally honest to Each other, are y'?
DJ Envy
All?
Morgan Wood
Well, right this second, I'm single, but.
Tyson Beckford
My ex, let me tell you, like, I had a hard time telling him a certain thing or two because, you know these guys that are, like, circumcised and these guys are not okay.
Morgan Wood
And that was a problem for me. I had to drop him because he wasn't.
Tyson Beckford
Because it's like, it's a. It's a strange smell that comes to my thing, and I never knew, but I'm trying to, so it's like I couldn't tell him. So I just be like, you know what? We're not working out. But I never told them why. I blamed it on something else because I just couldn't keep it real with that.
Morgan Wood
So you don't like the fact that he wasn't circumcised, but you ain't want to come clean and tell him that, so you just left him alone? Yeah, that and also, because they.
Tyson Beckford
It's like a certain establishment.
Morgan Wood
It does have a smell. Yes. And they got to pull that skin back every time and get up in there, man. It's like it'd be everything.
Tyson Beckford
Girl, you know what it is to pull that thing back and put it to your face? No, see, see, the only thing is, I, I, I. I agree with your method, and the only reason I agree with your method is because you're not. You chose not to be with him no more. If you was choosing to still be with him, you would have to tell him the truth.
Morgan Wood
Absolutely.
Tyson Beckford
Yeah. But that's something that I, I feel like, honestly, like, it doesn't matter what you do unless you fresh out the shower. That thing gonna have a smell after. Funky. Oh, my God, that foreskin. Funky. All right.
Lauren LaRosa
Hello.
Tyson Beckford
Who's this?
Morgan Wood
Guys.
Tyson Beckford
This guys from north.
Charlamagne Tha God
Car's from new.
Tyson Beckford
Oh, my God.
Charlamagne Tha God
They're not laughing at you, bro. They laughing at foreskin. But talk to us.
Tyson Beckford
I. I know. I hear it. Nah, man. My family's definitely brutally honest, Especially my wife. She's a comedian in her own right. I saved, you know, I messed up my beard once, and I had to shave off, off all my beard. Like, I got the whole goatee, man. I was baby scrotum face. I was penis tip face. I was all types of faces for, like, a week. And it's not even only her. Pause. It's not even only her, but the whole family, the kids and everybody join, and it's like a whole lunchroom session. That's amazing. Something happened. That is a beautiful family you got, brother. I love that it's fun. Fun. It's absolutely. I mean, I got my shared jokes, too, you know, a handful of Asian jokes for my wife. She probably listening. Shout out, baby. I love y'. All. She not Asian. She just got the cherry clan box. Look, you know, the. What. What happened now?
Morgan Wood
Cherry clan box.
Tyson Beckford
If y' all know about the candy from back in the day, the cherry clan box, the red. You know, I can't. I can't say it because, you know, last week it was a discriminatory term. Got you, got you, got you. I know what you're saying. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Listen, I love. I. I love the fact that y' all are able to deliver honesty with laughter, man. Like the dude said earlier, you know, I always say honesty without compassion is cruelty. And, you know, showing laughter is compassion. Like, making it a joke. Like, absolutely. You know, we love. We love each other. We don't get mad or whatever, you know, I mean, we all joke on each other and then we go laughing and we do it again the next day. I love it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you, brother. So what's the moral of the story, guys?
Morgan Wood
If there's, you know, what the craziest thing is, right, Right now when it comes to. I understand, David Beckham's wife, right? Because he. He did, you know, cut a big patch, big ball spot like I'm talking about, it was like half his hand could cover it. So I understand that, but she ain't really going. And maybe it's their accents, because she was just like, it looks terrible like that. That don't sound bad to me, but if they were black, it would have been crazy. Why would you do that? You look crazy. You down bad. Like, you look horrible right now. Chris shaved off all his hair, all his. His facial hair before. And I was like, no, you're never beating the Britney Griner allegations. Like, you cannot do that. Don't ever do that. Wayne, go. I ain't gonna wait with him for like, two, three weeks.
Tyson Beckford
Did he do that after he saw you flirting with Brittney Griner on Instagram?
Morgan Wood
No, he did it before, but. So he didn't even know. But I was not flirting with her on social media.
Tyson Beckford
You said that you like Britney before. That's probably. I did. That's probably what made him do. Do it.
Morgan Wood
That's not. That was before, though. He did that. But I. I was brutally honest. But I made it funny, though. That's what I'm saying. So to your point, like, you gotta make it funny. You just can't be out here hurting your significant other's feelings. Like, if you don't have to be that brutal. Sometimes it has to be brutal. But sometimes you can tell them by way of a joke, make it funny. But you. You serious about it.
Tyson Beckford
The feel is gonna be hurt regardless, though, you know?
Morgan Wood
Right.
Tyson Beckford
You know what I'm saying?
Morgan Wood
But the laughter can soften the blood, you know?
Tyson Beckford
You look ridiculous.
Charlamagne Tha God
There you go. When we come back, we got the latest with Lauren. Clarissa Shields, Layla Ali. You want to see that fight? It could happen. She'll talk about it. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Morgan Wood

Charlamagne Tha God

Morgan Wood
Bit about every family.
Tyson Beckford

Lauren LaRosa
The Latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Tyson Beckford
Sometimes you have facts. Sometimes you have details. Sometimes you have a little bit of everything. Oh.
Lauren LaRosa

DJ Envy
So Clarissa Shields and Layla Ali may finally be getting in the ring because Clarissa Shields says that she has $15 million for the fight. Let's take a look. Listen, Layla, I'm here with my team. I got great news for you.
Tyson Beckford
We got the 15 million.
DJ Envy
Let's make a fight between me and you.
Tyson Beckford
The best versus the best. The greats versus the greats.
DJ Envy
The growth versus Muhammad Ali's daughter, Layla Ali. Let's make it happen.
Morgan Wood
Mark, what else do we got?
Charlamagne Tha God
Look, we have the two most prominent venues in this country. Cowboy Stadium, T Mobile arena, ready to go. They're extremely interested. We just have to finalize deals and dates with them.
Tyson Beckford
Most importantly, though, Reuben Brand, Branson Win Records.
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you so much for supporting us because that's what allows us to make this offer.
Tyson Beckford
Thank you very much. Mark. When records assignment was to bring forth $15 million. We have the $15 million for Layla.
Charlamagne Tha God
Let's make this fight happen.
DJ Envy
That's what I'm talking about.
Tyson Beckford
So you saying we got the 15.
Morgan Wood
Million, we got the venue, and we got the dates.
DJ Envy
Now all we need is Layla Ali. Is it gonna make this fight happen or what? You asked for the 15 million, and we delivered. Now, this back and forth has been going on for some time, but it actually started back in 2019. Laila Ali was here on the Breakfast Club, and you guys talked to her about coming out of retirement. Let's take a listen.
Charlamagne Tha God
Will you ever get back in the ring just for Fun, giggles, money.
Tyson Beckford
Right. Layla there. Really? You still training? You still train? I stay training. Got you. Yeah, I got a little baby six pack right now. Okay. But you know, I don't think there's anyone there for me right now that would actually give me me a good challenge. Clarissa didn't take too kindly to that comment, that last comment, by the way.
DJ Envy
Not at all. Not at all. The quote, she was here on the Breakfast Club and she responded. Let's take a listen to Clarissa. Till that day, I've never disrespected Layla Ali when it like comes to her boxing. Even though I call myself the greatest woman of all time, I've never said like, oh, Layla Ali can't box. I've always given her that respect. Like, she paved the way. If you come out of retirement, I smoke you.
Tyson Beckford
You.
DJ Envy
And it was more of like, to let you know, like, don't disrespect me and I won't disrespect you. And. And. And that's where I went with it. But do I want to fight a 41 or 40 year old Layla Ali? No, I want to actually her embrace me. I embrace her. And we build women's boxing to the.
Morgan Wood
Place where it's supposed to be at. So basically. So okay, because maybe I'm just like a little dense with this, but Layla Ali, what she said didn't really warrant. You wanted energy, right? She was just saying, I don't really see nobody over here.
Charlamagne Tha God
Clarissa probably felt like, I'm the best right now. You don't see me.
Morgan Wood
But what if she didn't see her? You know what I'm saying?
Tyson Beckford
It's impossible to not. At that time, it was impossible to not see Clarissa.
Morgan Wood
Okay. Okay.
Tyson Beckford
Yeah.
Morgan Wood
Well, if you're a boxer, that is your story.
Tyson Beckford
Okay.
DJ Envy
Because you know the sport.
Morgan Wood
You know what I mean?
DJ Envy
You know who's the greatest in. In the arena at the time. Right? So Clarissa did take that as shade and she responded to it. But Laila Ali then responded to that. To your point, Jess, she sat down with Akin Bar.
Tyson Beckford
Right.
DJ Envy
Rock and. And responded to Clarissa. Let's take a listen.
Tyson Beckford
May the last one. Clarissa Shields. There's rumors that you're gonna come back and fight her. Everybody's talking about it. The rumor that I heard was that I said that unless somebody had 15, 20 million, don't even call me about this. Unless somebody calls me and says they have it, we're not even gonna have a conversation. I'm not trying to come back and fight. But if someone offered that Kind of money. I would actually have to think about it. I'll talk to Turkey tonight. I look like I could fight again.
Lauren LaRosa
Yes, you do.
Tyson Beckford
I think so too. Beautiful too. That wasn't Doc and bro.
DJ Envy
Yeah. That was the more recent one of Layla Ali to being able asked again about the fight. But there is Akin Barack her sit down with them from years ago. Let's take a listen to that. She's probably talking about what the Breakfast Club.
Tyson Beckford
One thing Clarissa needs to understand, it's not always about her. They asked me about coming out of retirement. First of all.
Morgan Wood
I already know what's available in term.
Tyson Beckford
I'm a businesswoman.
DJ Envy
So who is worth or inspires me.
Tyson Beckford
Enough to want to come out of retirement at now 42? Do you have $5 million for me? Do you have $10 million for me? Because guess what? It's going to take at least that's to come get me. You know what I'd have to do.
DJ Envy
To prepare to come back for a fight.
Morgan Wood
I don't care who it is because.
Tyson Beckford
I'm gonna win regardless. I'm gonna knock you out. So for me, it really comes down to me being in shape.
DJ Envy
Yeah, that was some years ago. So Now Clarissa has 15 million. She's like, get in shape, do what you gotta do. There's an obvious big time difference of years between the two women, you know, But Clarissa want to see what's up?
Tyson Beckford
I don't see anything wrong with it. Layla Ali is 47. 47. He's 47. Wow. Well, Manny Pacquiao fought at 46 this past weekend. He fought against Mario what's his barrios and Mario's 30.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right.
Tyson Beckford
Okay. And they fought to a draw.
Charlamagne Tha God
You know, so I was just doing some some research meaning Google.
Tyson Beckford
But Mike Tyson fought against Jake Paul just last year.
Charlamagne Tha God
But they're saying that Layla Ali's biggest purse was $250,000 was the most she made fighting and that was facing Christy Martin in 2005.
Morgan Wood
So 250.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, $250,000.
Morgan Wood
250,000.
Charlamagne Tha God
So if she got 15 million, you would see she would take it.
Morgan Wood
Most definitely.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Morgan Wood
Damn.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Morgan Wood
Okay.
Tyson Beckford
Lea's in fighting shape. Probably not.
DJ Envy
She said it would take. She got to get back in shape.
Charlamagne Tha God
And snap back 18 million to do it.
DJ Envy
Figure it out. Yeah.
Tyson Beckford
After seeing Pacquiao this weekend, I don't not. I'm not against it at all. In no way shape or full.
DJ Envy
Who y' all got money on the shields.
Morgan Wood
I'm going just be honest with you.
Tyson Beckford
You.
Morgan Wood
I mean, I I. Right now, she's in our prime. You know what I mean?
Tyson Beckford
No.
Charlamagne Tha God
You ain't see a fight about it.
Morgan Wood
I haven't, but I'm like. If I'm comparing, like, not even experience, but these young. Like, young to, like, older and. And mind you, 47 is not old. But when you're a boxer who hasn't fought in a long time. Yeah, I would say.
Tyson Beckford
I would put. I would. I would. I would say the safe bet is Clarissa.
Charlamagne Tha God
I would put money on Clarissa.
Tyson Beckford
Yeah. But I thought Manny was gonna be washed up this weekend too, and he wasn't.
DJ Envy
He was sticking him.
Morgan Wood
But he's never stopped boxing. Oh, yes.
Tyson Beckford
He had a break through, what, four years, five years.
Morgan Wood
Okay. But no Leila Ali. When was her last fight?
Tyson Beckford
A long time, right?
Morgan Wood
Longer than four or five years.

All right, well, that is the latest with Laura. Now let's get to the People's Choice mix. 800-585-1051 is the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the breakfast Club.
Lauren LaRosa
Your mornings will never be the same.
Charlamagne Tha God
Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the breakfast Club. And again, I want to say thank you so much to everybody that pulled up to me at Hampton, Virginia. My Drive Your Dreams car show came to the 757. We had close to 15,000 people. It was just amazing. No incidents, just nothing but love. So I appreciate you so much. To all the vendors, the security, the staff. My staff. Salute to Mercedes, Adasha. I mean, it was just so dope. Shout out to Pusha T for stopping through. Hey, and congratulations to Pusha T and Eclipse. Their first.
Lauren LaRosa
This.
Charlamagne Tha God
This last album did118,000 units in its first week. And they are totally independent, so it's not like I didn't even know they were a label. They did all that on their own. So congratulations to the clips, Pusha Malice, the whole team, Free Pharrell and all. Him, Stephen, Victor, like, y' all really did y' all damn thing. And the album is dope. So congratulations.
Tyson Beckford
And they gave. They just gave us an amazing body of work. And they went out there and they did the work. Like, Pusha T and Malice were everywhere. I have not seen a rollout like this in a long, long, long, long time where somebody goes to every single.
Morgan Wood
Platform, including tiny desk. They did tiny desk when he hit.
Charlamagne Tha God
Me and was like, I'm Coming to the car show. I'm like, what?
Morgan Wood
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
He was like, nah, nah, I'm coming. He was like, I'm coming from la. I'm coming to the car show. It's in my town, my city, I'm pulling. He pulled up and he signed. He signed autographs, he took pictures with everybody. He was the nicest. He had his sons. He had a son there that they put his son in the different cars. His son was watching the bike salute, the Monster Energy and Lincoln Tech. Like, it was really dope. And if you didn't get it to this, to this show, and you're looking for something affordable to do for the summer, to bring the family, bring your kids, your parents, we're gonna do it again August 16th in New Jersey. So get your tickets and. And we're gonna run it back, man. We'll have a great time. I can't wait to see you guys. And I got some definite. It's gonna be a lot of fun.
Tyson Beckford
So I was wondering too, even with the clips, right, like, would they have had that same energy with Def Jam? And what I mean is, I know Pusha T and Malice gonna always put in the work, but when you are on a major label and you're relying on a major label to do so much, would they have gone out there and, you know, really, really, really, really put their nose to the grind the way they did with this project? Because it was in the independent. You know what I mean?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I don't think so. Like, like you said, I. I don't think so. And no disrespect to any record label, but I feel like every record label does the same thing over and over and over again. But I think clips felt like they had a lot to prove they were independent. And they did everything. Every podcast, they did every radio interview, they did every show. That's. That's how. That's what the rollout is supposed to look like. Yeah, if an artist wants to work, absolutely.
Tyson Beckford
It's kind of crazy because if I'm on Def Jam, the next artist that I put out out, I gotta make sure that they get them kind of looks. Because if not, it's like, if I'm the. The company, I'm like, why? Why do you work here?
Charlamagne Tha God
But remember, the artists are gonna have to work too, because a lot of times these artists don't want to work like that. Like, yeah, they had to put in work and do every interview. Wake up at six in the morning, and they, like, they had to put in that work too. So Artists are gonna have to put in the work.
Tyson Beckford
Yeah.
