Minnie Driver
You lying. You said you was tired. Excuse me?
Charlamagne Tha God
That's why I'm tired, because I went to the games, okay?
Minnie Driver
Lord, you drove all the way to Philly?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I didn't drive, but yes, we went to the Dallas. They played the Mavericks, the Mavs, and yo, I didn't know that. Now, mind you, I ain't really into basketball like that, but I didn't know that the guy that dunked on LeBron run in the Olympics, that he played for the Sixes because he from over.
DJ Envy
Yeah, he plays overseas, but when they. When they do the Olympics, they play for their country.
Charlamagne Tha God
UC Belly or whatever. I don't know how to say his name.
DJ Envy
Yeah, yeah. I'm not gonna try to pronounce it.
Charlamagne Tha God
But he got a fatty like on him.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Because when he was at the foul line and somebody was shooting Jesus, I was like, I got a video, yo.
DJ Envy
I don't want to see it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Shorty ass is fat.
DJ Envy
He wasn't watching the game. He was watching people's fatties.
Minnie Driver
No, no, no, no.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's that big that I had to look at it. I was like, damn. But no, I was watching the game. It was a good game. And this was their first night playing with our Luca.

Morgan Wood
Really?
Minnie Driver
Ain't nothing wrong with looking at the man fatty, though, because, you know, whatever brings eyeballs to the game, it brings eyeballs to the game. You know what I'm saying? NBA been talking about their ratings slipping all year long. So if fat ass is what it takes for you to watch.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yes.
Minnie Driver
Then fat ass is what it's gonna be.
DJ Envy

That's right. And let's get the show cracking. When we come back, we got front page news. Morgan Wood will be breaking everything down. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Jess. Hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Morning, Morgan.
Wendy Williams
Good morning, DJ Envy. Charlemagne the God and just hilarious. How you doing?
Charlamagne Tha God
Good.
Wendy Williams
All right, let's get into the front page news. So President Trump says Palestinians have no alternative but to leave their Gaza homes. Now, this comes as Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met in the Oval Office on Tuesday, with Trump calling Gaz Gaza a demolition site and said that Palestinians should be displaced to settlements in other countries. Now, Trump claimed those living would be thrilled to live. Those living in Gaza would be thrilled to live somewhere else. Let's hear more from Trump on his efforts to own Gaza and displace more Palestinians.
Minnie Driver
The US Will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it, too. We'll own it. Instead, we should go to other countries of interest with humanitarian hearts. And there are many of them that.
Morgan Wood
Want to do this and build various.
Minnie Driver
Domains that will ultimately be occupied by.
Morgan Wood
The 1.8 million Palestinians living in Gaza.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Wendy Williams
So, yeah, so that's his suggestion. What do you guys think about that? I mean, we're looking at owning a lot of things here, maybe making Canada the 51st.
DJ Envy
He wants everything.
Wendy Williams
America, Gulf of Mexico, you know, and now maybe the Gaza Strip.
Minnie Driver
Nobody's surprised about that. But I would never understand what all the pro Palestinian, pro Gaza people in Michigan were thinking, especially folks in Dearborn, you know, majority Arab city. And Donald Trump became the first Republican to win this since 2000. All the Arab Americans who had resentment.
DJ Envy
Arab Americans, Arab.
Minnie Driver
I'm sorry. All the Arab Americans who had resentment, you know, of the Biden Harris administration's pro Israel policies. And they drove a massive swing away from the Democrats and Dearborn and all over Michigan. I don't understand what y'all was thinking. I don't know why y'all thought that Donald Trump would be a better option. Yeah, I don't know what y'all was thinking. And where are the Jill Steins and the Green Party and everybody now? Where they at now?
Wendy Williams
Well, Benjamin Netanyahu, he has been the first foreign leader to meet with Trump during this second term and is in DC as negotiation. Negotiations are expected to resume between Israel and the Palestinian militant Group Hamas to extend the ongoing ceasefire. Now, the Israeli Prime Minister praised Trump and further laid out plans for the future. Let's hear more from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.
Minnie Driver
You are the greatest friend Israel has.
Morgan Wood
Ever had in the White House.
Minnie Driver
And.
Morgan Wood
That'S why the people of Israel have.
Minnie Driver
Such enormous respect for you. Israel has never been stronger and the.
Morgan Wood
Iran terror axis has never been weaker.
Minnie Driver
But as we discussed, Mr. President, to secure our future and bring peace to our region, we have to finish the job in Gaza. Israel has three destroy Hamas military and.
Morgan Wood
Governing capabilities, secure the release of all.
Minnie Driver
Of our hostages, and ensure that Gaza.
Morgan Wood
Never again poses a threat to Israel.
Minnie Driver
Once again, I never understood it. Okay, the pro Palestinian, pro Gaza people would go to Kamala's rallies and interrupt her and protest against her. Neville Kamala was the champ, but you never had that energy for Trump at his rallies. And you knew he wanted to create Mara Gaza. You knew it.
Wendy Williams
Mara Gaza.
Jess Hilarious
Oh, Lord.
Wendy Williams
Oh, my gosh. So pro Palestinian protesters mark Gaza, you stupid pro Palestinian process. Protesters were gathered out the White House chanting Gaza is not for sale. Hundreds of protesters holding banner signs and waving flags as they chant rhythmic chant to rhythmic drumming. And they have their, you know, chants and different things of that nature.
Minnie Driver
You should have did that during the campaign. Like Dearborn, Michigan is a majority Arab city. And Donald Trump became the first Republican to win this since 2000.
Wendy Williams
So Trump added that he would return. He would turn Gaza into the Riviera of the Middle East. So, yeah, yes, you said Mara Mar. What did you call it? Trump says he's instructed his advisors to obliterate Iran if it assassinates him in. In regards to all of what's happening with this, adding Iran will be destroyed if it retaliated against the U.S. i know he made the comments during a. I'm tired, too. He made the comments during a press conference at the White House on Tuesday while signing a presidential memorandum to increase pressure on Tehran. Now, that memorandum calls for maximum economic sanctions and enforcement mechanisms against Iran. Let's hear more from President Trump on Iran.
Minnie Driver
That would be a terrible thing for them to do. Not because of me. If they did that, they would be obliterated. That'll be the end. I've left instructions. They do it. Oh, that's obliterated. There won't be anything left. We will see whether or not we can arrange or work out a deal with Iran and everybody can live together. And maybe that's possible and maybe it's not possible. I understand the context. I hope that doesn't happen, but, you know, he's saying if they assassinate him.
DJ Envy
If they take him out, wipe them up. Yes, Fair.
Wendy Williams
Okay. So he said, fair. Federal authorities have been monitoring threats against Trump from Iran for years after Trump ordered to kill the top Iranian military leader in 2020. So this is a real, live, ongoing thing, and I will keep you posted.
Minnie Driver
Somebody's gonna put out a Drill album at this point. I mean, Jesus Christ. I mean. I mean, come on, man.
DJ Envy
All right, well, that is front page news. Thank you, Morgan.
Wendy Williams
Thank you. All right, in the next hour, we will talk about. Don't order anything from China right now. It's not going to get to us. So I'll tell you more.
DJ Envy

Jess Hilarious
Go ahead. This guy.
Charlamagne Tha God
So she said she don't like it after 13 years, right?
Minnie Driver
So, like, honestly. So between 13 years, probably like a handful of times it's been done. You know what I mean?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, but if it already. That ain't. If it ain't that enticing to her already, you gotta do something, like make it smell good or something. Like, it might stink.
DJ Envy
It doesn't stink that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Are you circumcised? You know what I'm saying? It could be little things that she just don't worry about. Do you gotta play tug of war to get to the head? Like, what do you gotta do?

Charlamagne Tha God
News is real, whether it's Jessica, Larry's Jessica, Robert Moore. Jess don't do no lies. She don't spare nobody worldwide.
Minnie Driver
Jess Worldwide Mess on the Breakfast Club. She's a culture shooter. She was able to get y'all to.
Charlamagne Tha God
See something and understand something that nobody could get you to see.
Minnie Driver
It's time to set it off.
Charlamagne Tha God
So is this the interview that everybody was waiting for? The moment that we all waited for, for this full interview with Justin La Boy and Kanye west to drop.
Minnie Driver
Who's waiting for it?
Paola Pedrosa
I don't know.
Charlamagne Tha God
Is this like.
DJ Envy
It's like the third one, right?
Charlamagne Tha God
Big thing.
Paola Pedrosa
This is like their second or third interview. I feel like more so people were. Cuz Drake hasn't like surfaced and like said too much since all of the Kendra stuff. Especially because the Grammys just happened. Everybody popped off singing a minor. Kendrick won all those awards. So I think people more so are like, oh shoot, you know what I mean? Now the interview you're talking about. And for, for context, when Drake was in Australia, his first tour stop on the tour that he's on right now, he came out, he had holy Shirt came out. He not came out like that, but like, he came out on the stage. He had holes in his shirt. That's why he been quiet, smoke behind him. And he talked about not being dead because of that interview. Now let's take a listen to what I think sparked that. Let's take a listen to Kanye and Justin Lavoy talk about the Kendrick and Drake beef.
Jess Hilarious
Well, one thing is, like, with Kendrick, I was like, man, you killed my nemesis. Where's the movies if it ain't no Drake? Yeah, for me, it's like, so Kendrick killed Drake. He's dead. Yeah, for now. You know, you can't ever count out Steph Curry. And so that man might hit 200 points in one, you know, song or something. You know, Drake added something to the algorithm, to our frequency. He advanced us future advances, and our Kendrick has now advanced the frequency. It's like, if you rap against Kendrick, you will lose.
Minnie Driver
Oh, this man does this.
DJ Envy
It's a difficult task, but perhaps it's something.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, I'm a psycho genius.
DJ Envy
So there you have it.
Jess Hilarious
Do not rap against Kendrick Lamar unless you're a psycho genius.
Minnie Driver
Unless you're a psycho genius. Like, yeah, Kendrick will wash Kanye west in every single way. Knock it off.
Paola Pedrosa
Yeah, he want him to come his way so bad.
Minnie Driver
No, he don't.
Paola Pedrosa
I think he wanted. This is the second time he'd have poked the bear. He tried it before when he tried to jump on the. On the song.
DJ Envy
How many riders. Yeah, got. Because they got a bunch of riders.
Minnie Driver
How many writers got. By the way, there's nobody having that conversation except for him and Justin. Justin probably the only person gassing him up like, yeah, you can get with Kendrick. Knock it off.
DJ Envy
You better leave.
Minnie Driver
Kendrick will wipe Kanye West.
DJ Envy
Leave K that alone, please.
Minnie Driver
And before a Drake battle, I would have said that you don't want no smoke with Kendrick on no microphone. Cut it out.
Paola Pedrosa
Well, so that the conversation happened. Now, granted, this full audio in context came out last night, but this was previewed at their Grammy party that Kanye had. So people were recording this. So this has been on the Internet for some time, way before last night when Drake came out in Australia. So then you hear him say, oh, Drake is dead now because of Kendrick. So then Drake makes this grand entrance, and he has a speech that he says at the opening night in Australia, let's take a listen to Drake on tour.
Minnie Driver
You didn't know what you were coming to tonight. My name is Drake. I started doing music in 2008.
Jess Hilarious
I come all the way from Toronto, Canada.
Minnie Driver
The year is now 2025. And no matter what, Drizzy Drake is very much alive.
Morgan Wood
And that's all thanks to you.
Paola Pedrosa
So Drake on stage says he is very much alive.
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, you need to say that. Oh, people are saying he's so extra Kanye no mind. That's what you got to do. You just. You can't pay him any mind at all. That's how he just goes away.
Paola Pedrosa
I think he more bothered by just Kendrick in general. And Kanye threw some more attention on him.
Charlamagne Tha God
Have a song.
Minnie Driver
Drake has to stop playing the victim role.
Paola Pedrosa
Man, you know how he does that thing where him and Chubbs walk out every. Every tour, every concert? They walked out. There was smoke. He had holes in his shirt. I don't know if it was just fashion role. It was given. I'm revived.
Minnie Driver
Listen, Drake gotta stop playing the victim role. None of them guys can play the victim role. It was friendly rap competition. J. Cole said on First Person Shooter, he felt like Muhammad Ali. Drake said he felt like the goat. Kendrick said, it's not the big three. It's just big. Me and Kendrick proved it.
DJ Envy
He got one more week. He just gotta live through one more week, and then it'll start to calm down.
Minnie Driver
No, it won't.
DJ Envy
Yes, it will.
Minnie Driver
It's gonna get worse after the Super Bowl.
DJ Envy
After the super bowl performance.
Minnie Driver
This guy just won. This guy just went 5 for 5 for a disregard against you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Crazy.
DJ Envy
But then it's the. Then it's the super bowl, and then there's nothing else after that for a long time.
Minnie Driver
Y'all been saying that for eight months. I know you like him. People are hoping that. That we knew the tidal wave just goes away.
DJ Envy
No, no.
Charlamagne Tha God
Very much alive. What are you talking about? I'm very much alive, y'all. Okay. Like, it's so girly, like, with holes.
Minnie Driver
In your sweater coming out your back. Like. Like you a victim. Like, cut it out. You went. You and that man went head up. He a shoot you in the back, right? Y'all went head up.
Paola Pedrosa
He had holes on the front, too.
Minnie Driver
Oh, he did?
Paola Pedrosa
Yeah.
Minnie Driver
Oh, okay. One more week. He got one more week.
DJ Envy
It'll start to calm down.
Paola Pedrosa
I think the super bowl gonna reinvent it for a little bit of time. Like, I don't know when he comes back, but I don't know.
DJ Envy
Got one more week.
Charlamagne Tha God
Just won't need a couple more holes in the sweatshirt after that.
Paola Pedrosa
Well, switching gears here. This is a. A sadder story or it's a report. This is so right now. There. There are Rumors and alleged reports circulating that Irv Gotti, who I know is a friend to the room, is currently on life support. Now this from what is being alleged is because a. Of a stroke that he had that left him on the life support situation. And there have been a couple people that have, like, you know, just spoke out and just are sending him prayers right now. We don't have details. We don't have confirmation of anything, but we do know that, like, Russell Simmons posted and talked about, you know, he spoke to Herb not too long ago and gave him the number to a person that he wanted him to talk to about his health. He agreed that, that he needed the attention. He promised that he would come, I think come over to the. The resort that.
Minnie Driver
Bali?
Paola Pedrosa
Yeah, to Bali, where Russell Simmons is. And a lot of people go there for, like, health and wellness and undergo some tests and begin, like, natural and medical treatments. So he said that I promised him if he came that he would, you know, get better. So obviously, Irv has been dealing with some stuff. And we know that the last time we saw him, it was when he was, you know, walking on that cane and there were reports about a stroke then. So Russell Simmons and a few other people are sending some love. We're sending love and just, you know, praying for the best of himself, man.
Minnie Driver
Take care of yourself, people.
DJ Envy
And we was talking, me and Charlemagne was talk. He's like, Irv is one of those ones like Mike, Geronimo, Ja Rule, Ashanti, dmx. He was the one that, that, you know, helped DMX in his career. Even Jay Z helped Jay in his career when he was needed. Produce Can I Live. So he's definitely one of those ones. Yeah, he sure did.
Paola Pedrosa
Yeah.
DJ Envy
DJ from Queens, DJ Herb. So that's Warriors.
Paola Pedrosa
Gather around and send it up for him.
DJ Envy
Absolutely. All right, well, that was just with the mess.
Minnie Driver
Thank you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you, Lauren.
DJ Envy
Now, when we come back, Morgan's gonna be joining us and then Wendy Williams is gonna be checking in. So don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front news. Morgan, what's up?
Wendy Williams
Listen have you ever ordered something and you know it was being shipped from China and you know it takes a little while, Right. Well, right now I would just suggest don't order anything from China right now. You know, we got the tariffs and stuff going on so. United States Postal Service is no longer accepting packages from China or Hong Kong as of Tuesday. The USPS released a statement saying they are suspending international package acceptance from China and Hong Kong Post until further notice. Now letters and flat envelopes will still be accepted. The news comes after President Trump announced a 25% tariff on China and after China imposed retaliatory tariffs of their own. Yes, China is slapping tariffs on some US Products. Retaliation for, in retaliation for President Trump's enactment. Now Beijing said overnight that it will charge extra tariffs on 15% on coal and liquefied natural gas, along with 10% on crude oil, farm equipment and some cars starting next week. Over the weekend, of course, Trump signed 10% tariffs on China in addition to existing 25, 25% tariffs that already applied in his first term. So what do you guys think about that? Them sham packages, them fashion novi packages, they not coming.
Minnie Driver
That happened during Trump's first administration though. Like we forget, we forget that because you know, Covid happened but right before COVID it was exactly the same thing.
Charlamagne Tha God
So you know, so how long this, this raid beat up when the last.
Minnie Driver
Time you ordered from Timo.
Charlamagne Tha God
Not Timo but Fashion.
Minnie Driver
Which one is it?
Charlamagne Tha God
Fashion Nova. I order from all of them but I ordered Fashion Nova like yesterday.
DJ Envy
But they said just the United States Post Office. What about, is there other ways to get it here besides just to.
Wendy Williams
Oh you know what, you know what, it does say that the U.S. postal Service is no longer accepting packages. So maybe if you have like DHL or something else that your packages. I'm look into that one for you guys.
Charlamagne Tha God
Ye, because I have like that's where I get my, I get my product from China too. So what we talking about?
Wendy Williams
Hey, hey, you might want to look into that. I have an update on the plane crash. Helicopter crash here in Washington D.C. all 67 victims in last week's deadly mid air collision in D.C. have been recovered. Officials confirmed the news on Tuesday, an American Airlines plane collided with an Army Black Op helicopter causing both to fall in the Potomac River. The cockpit and tail of the regional jet were recovered earlier in the day. The crash was the deadliest in the US since 2011. Meanwhile, the investigation continues into the plane crash of the medical jet that was in Northeast Philly as well that killed seven people. On Friday night, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says investigators should be able to determine why the jet crashed just moments after takeoff. And Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker also weighed in on the commentary, saying the crash could have been much more devastating. Let's hear from those officials.
Minnie Driver
Even though this crash was so devastating, there are remains, whether it's the engines, the wings that they can look at and get answers to what took place here.
Jess Hilarious
When you look through the footage and.
Charlamagne Tha God
You think about what could have been had a gas line been hit.
Morgan Wood
Yeah.
Wendy Williams
So the black box has been recovered from the plane and officials say at least 24 people on the ground were injured. Four remain hospital and two are critical. Among those injured in that incident was a young boy named Trey Howard, who most recently woke up after having surgery. Now, the 10 year old boy was injured by a piece of debris that was struck, hit his head as stuck in his head as he was shielding and you know, protecting his little sister. Now, Trey's father Andre says he they he was out picking up donuts with his kids when the jet crashed. The child was rushed to the hospital and where he did go, he underwent emergency surgery. He is awake and recovering and even talking. And he heard that he's a celebrity. So shout out to Trey Howard. And he's also been deemed a hero for protecting his sister.
Minnie Driver
You know, I get what they're saying about how things could have been worse, but when a crash kills everybody involved, there is zero reason to say things you know, could have been worse because that's as bad as it gets. For all of those families who had to hear that, you know, one of their people got killed in that plane crash. Yeah.
DJ Envy
Which I get what she was trying to say. If it would hit a power line, more people would have been dead. But like you said, everybody died that this is bad.
Minnie Driver
This is as terrible as it could possibly get right now. Like this is bad.
Wendy Williams
It's bad enough, period. Right, right. And speaking of which, let's switch gears to la. The LA fires wildfires have officially been contained, but California's largest home insurer is asking state officials for an emergency rate hike that averages 22%. State Farm General claims of Los Angeles county fires have a have had a significant impact on its ability to continue operating in California. State Farm said they received at least 8,700 claims and have paid more than $1 billion to customers, adding that it expects to pay out even more. The company is asking for rate hikes of 38% for rental dwellings and 15% for tenants, with those rates taking effect on May 1. So it's like you give them a.
Charlamagne Tha God
Little bit of a, that's not fair.
DJ Envy
Like, that's not, I'm like, you give.
Wendy Williams
It a little, a little bit of wiggle room to recover and then by the way, your rate's going to go up. But stay put. Farms on Monday that, that the request is necessary to rebuild, to rebuild its capital base.
DJ Envy
That's not because people that's been paying homeowners insurance has never used it ever in their life. And now, you know, it's a gamble that they take. Right. Because there's a lot of times people don't never use their homeowners insurance and still have to pay. But now you're saying, okay, all this insurance that people have been paying, you don't have the money to pay these people out. And they're saying, well, now you got to pay a 20. That's not right.
Jess Hilarious
Right.
DJ Envy
That is, that is not right.
Wendy Williams
And imagine, well, not to say it like this, imagine being impacted, but imagine not being impacted and still having to, you know, it's just say that's not right across the board is just terrible. So. But yeah, I'll keep you guys posted as to everything that's happening on the front page. That's your front page news. I'm Morgan Wood. Follow me on social at Morgan Media.

Minnie Driver
Thank you, Morgan.
DJ Envy
All right, when we come back, Wendy Williams is checking in. She has an update of what's going on with her. So we're going to talk to her.
Minnie Driver
You know what's interesting? Wendy wants to talk about that lawsuit that is being filed against Lifetime and A E. Okay, that's what she wants to talk about. You know, they, they, her guardian filed a lawsuit against Lifetime and A E saying that Wendy wasn't in her right mind to sign that, that contract, which makes no sense because she was the guardian at the time that she signed the contract. But she'll talk about, about it.
DJ Envy
All right, we'll get to that. Next, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Minnie Driver
The Breakfast Club.
Morgan Wood
Well, I mean, you and I have known each other for a long time. You know what I'm saying?
Minnie Driver
Yes.
Morgan Wood
And we've got good money. Isn't there such thing to you as blood money? Like money you don't want. You don't care what amount of money it is.
Minnie Driver
I can remember a check you had to write when we worked together at wbls. And you put that on the check. You put four blood money.
Morgan Wood
Thank you. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Minnie Driver
Because you didn't approve that, you had to write the check, and you put four blood money. So you've been pretty consistent about this your whole life.
Morgan Wood
Thank you. Thank you. Well, look, I'm dealing with these court people and my guardian person, and that is the big deal. So you know what I don't have frontal temporal dementia. You know what I'm saying? It's disgusting. That is a very rare thing for anybody to have. You understand what I'm saying? It's like one of those types of things where I'd be a blubbering idiot. Like, I can't take a shower, I can't dress myself. I can't speak, I can't listen. I can't. Like, I can't.
Minnie Driver
Well, Wendy, who dressed you when you was in the window for that TMZ doc? Cause that was nice. You had the black catsuit on with the wig and the.
Morgan Wood
Well, well, excuse me, excuse me. That was me doing for myself, you know what I'm saying? With a few bits of clothing that I got from storage, you know what I'm saying? But you know what it was. It's real. I'm on the fifth floor, and, you know, the fifth floor, as I told you, this is called the memory unit. It. It is for the people who live here that I guess don't remember anything at all. And I've seen the people, you know, when I order lunch, you know what I'm saying? And they're not bad people, you know, they're older, and I don't care if they're my age group, you know what I'm saying? Clearly, like, who are these people? Why am I here? You know what I'm saying? And by the way, as I told you before, you know, to take the elevator, It's a locked unit on the fifth floor, you know what I'm saying? The memory uniform. Literally, I do everything in the bedroom. You know, there's a gym to work out here. And I have yet for my guardian person to make this person or whatever, whatever, so I can work out my money.
Minnie Driver
Sabrina Morrissey. Sabrina Morrissey is her name.
Charlamagne Tha God
She can't even go to the gym.
Morgan Wood
Well, yes, you know, in the meantime, I am not incapacitated. I am not a baby. You know what I'm saying? But I guess for lifetime A and E, I stand to win all that money, so I'm supposed to be a blubbering idiot.
Minnie Driver
So so what you're saying, Wendy, is the lawsuit that was filed by Sabrina Morrissey, Acting in her capacity as your guardian, she bought a lawsuit against Annie, and it claimed that the contract the company brokered to shoot the documentary wasn't valid since you didn't have the legal or mental capacity to authorize your participation in the title at the time.
Morgan Wood
Listen, I have to tell you something about my life, you know what I'm saying? And Charlamagne. You've known me for a long enough time, you know what I'm saying? I haven't had liquor in years now. Yes. You know, who doesn't. Who doesn't go through problems in their life? You know, divorce, this, that, the third, you know, and then all of a sudden, I got involved with this guardianship person, a judge attorney, like my life has been.
Minnie Driver
Hold on. No, Wendy, one thing at a time. Sabrina Morris.
Morgan Wood
Okay, no, let me. Okay, wait.
Minnie Driver
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Morgan Wood
Let me. Let me just. Let me just address one. One important thing, okay? I have been liquor free for years. And listen, it is not a big deal when somebody around me, you know what I'm saying, enjoys what they enjoy, you know what I'm saying? But that is not for me. You want to know why? Because I want to be sharp and tight. You know what I'm saying? Because when I get out of this guardianship, I don't even want to go into it. But I've already told you about it. Charlamagne.
Minnie Driver
Yes, you do.
Morgan Wood
How I feel.
Minnie Driver
Yes, you do.
Morgan Wood
And the way I'm going to move.
Minnie Driver
You said you want to date and.
Morgan Wood
No, no, aside from that. I mean, please. That's a regular.
Paola Pedrosa
Stuff, right? And just enjoying your life.
Morgan Wood
Wendy, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. I want to be in a lovely relationship with one person forever. In order to do that, you have to date. You have to date a lot. But that's not what I'm talking about so much, though. Listen, I've been in this guardianship for this long of an amount of time, and now, A and E, lifetime, this lawsuit. Please. I don't want that. I don't want a dime from that. I don't want any part of that. You know what I'm saying? They insist on me telling everybody that I have frontal temporal dementia. You know, Robbie Kaplan went on TMZ and talked about it. Now, I love tmz, you know what I'm saying? And I'm watching and they're talking about me, and I'm like, oh, my God, this person, Robbie Kaplan is saying that, oh, My gosh, that Wendy has good days and bad days, and when she's this. And like. Excuse me, me. Frontal temporal dementia is a very, very serious thing and very rare, I might add.
Wendy Williams
Like.
Morgan Wood
Like, of all the things that you come up with, you know what I'm saying?
Minnie Driver
Absolutely.
DJ Envy
All right, we have more with Wendy Williams when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren Laros is hanging with us as well, and we're still kicking it with Wendy. Wendy Williams. Charlemagne.
Minnie Driver
I was looking at these court documents, and one thing that stood out to me, it said, because there is no single diagnostic test for ftd, the frontal dementia, the process for diagnosing it, on average, takes more than three years from the disease's onset. How they. How can they keep saying you have it when it. When it takes three years to diagnose?
Morgan Wood
Well, they've taken away. They've taken away my phone, so I can't. I can't, you know, scroll stuff on my phone to learn about things, you know what I'm saying? I haven't had my phone. You know, this woman has my phone. You know, this woman has my life, basically, you know what I'm saying? And by the way, I told you where I am. It goes between. Like I told you where I'm living. Correct?
Minnie Driver
Yes.
Morgan Wood
Okay, I don't want to go over that. It's very expensive, you know. But, you know, this whole thing about frontal temporal dementia is ridiculous. And I don't want this lawsuit. I don't want it at all. I want a shout out, though, to the people at Lifetime. You know, I've been in business with them before. You know what I'm saying? I did a couple of things there. They're good people to me, and I would love to do business with them again.
Minnie Driver
So you did.
Morgan Wood
This is not about Lifetime. It's about these two people.
Minnie Driver
So you're basically saying, Sabrina, it's not true that you didn't have the legal or mental capacity to authorize. You did have the legal or mental capacity to authorize your participation in the title. They just told you that it would be positive and beneficial to you.
Morgan Wood
Excuse me. And you want to know what? And don't forget about the black man. You know the black man's name?
Minnie Driver
William Will Selby. Yes. Yes.
Morgan Wood
Oh, my God. Will Selby is like a wolf in sheep's clothing, like, really well.
Minnie Driver
So you don't want the lawsuit against Lifetime because You didn't. You signed. You signed it knowing what you were signing?
Morgan Wood
No, I didn't know what I was signing. I guess. I guess. You know what? It was so long ago. There were so many people in the apartment from lifetime A. And a lifetime. You know, there's so many people in my apartment. There were so many people when we were going out. There were a lot of people, and I. I was, you know, belong for the ride because I'm the star. You know what I'm saying?
Minnie Driver
Got you.
Paola Pedrosa
So when she began. Because. Because A E is saying that you were not mentally incapacitated when you signed the agreement for the documentary that they did. But then Sabrina came out and said that they were taking advantage of you because you couldn't make any of your own business decisions. Like what? Was there a conversation that Sabrina had with you before she filed her, like, the claims? Like, what was that about? Did you tell her you didn't want the lawsuit?
Morgan Wood
I don't know anything about Sabrina as far as that. Like I said, I only know about that person when we watched it together on tv. You know, she was never a part of this. I always said to myself, oh, well, what does a guardian do for me other than keep my money safe? Allegedly.
Paola Pedrosa
Well, at this.
Morgan Wood
I'm talking about money, allegedly. Because now, you know, my guardian person is represented by this expensive law firm. Right? Did I talk to you about this, Charlemagne?
Minnie Driver
I don't think so. Well, I don't think you have to get into all of that, but you're. The moral of the story is you.
Morgan Wood
Excuse me. Excuse me, but it's my money. It's my money that my guardian is using for. Regarding this lawsuit, and my money is slowly, I guess, dwindling away. I have no idea. You know what I'm saying? My wallet is depleted with a few dollars, you understand? And I've been in this situation for over three years.
Paola Pedrosa
I was about to say that. Wendy, according to reports, you were put into the conservatorship May 2022. So if that, you know, front temporal dementia takes three years, right now, it would be really difficult for you to, you know, just track this conversation you're having with us because that. It's 2025.
Morgan Wood
It's a. It's. It's a very serious and rare disease. Frontal. Frontal temporal dementia. If you call it a disease, I have no idea.
Minnie Driver
Yeah, it feels like when you signed this contract for the show, you knew you was participating in the show. You just didn't know that they was gonna make you look the way that they made you look. And now that she.
Morgan Wood
Listen, listen, listen. It was only one time, you know, and we were at a court thing. You know what I'm saying? And they were talking about it, and they were talking about, you know, and I said, oh, what are you talking about? I would win, what, $1 million? And I was told, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It oughta fast.
Paola Pedrosa
You mean when you said, I didn't.
Morgan Wood
Ask how much because it didn't matter. You know what I'm saying? At first I was like, well, okay, I guess. But quickly, you know, like the day later, I'm like, no, I don't want that. I don't want that. And I'll continue to say, I don't want that. I don't want the lawsuit. I don't want to be a part of it. You know, if my guardian person wants money from her, then she can do the suing on your. On her behalf, and she could be the one to get the money, not me. It is blood money. I don't want it.
Minnie Driver
So once again, Wendy, they. They had you. You. She's saying you didn't have the legal or mental capacity to authorize your participation. You're saying you did, and that you.
Paola Pedrosa
Met one time, and after that you changed your mind.
Morgan Wood
Correct, correct. And. And by the way. And by the way, you know, like I said, I don't want that kind of money. You know, I've worked with Lifetime several times. You know what I'm saying? Enough that I would love to do something with Lifetime again. They are good people to me, and I'm good people to them.
Minnie Driver
Absolutely.
DJ Envy
All right, we have more with Wendy Williams when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlamagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren Laros is here with us as well, and we're still kicking it with Wendy Williams. Charlemagne.
Minnie Driver
Are you gonna be able to go see your father?
Morgan Wood
Well, I thought that I was, and now it is. I don't want to talk about that.
Minnie Driver
Okay. Okay.
Morgan Wood
If you know what I'm saying.
Paola Pedrosa
It's not definite anymore.
Morgan Wood
Yes. Excuse me, but I do say that, you know, I want to shout out to some people who've been very good to me, okay? Including Charlamagne specifically. But. And, Lauren, you too, but listen, it is about Harvey Levin at tmz. You know, Charlamagne. You and I have talked with Harvey, and that spectacular thing starring me happens next Wednesday, the 12th. February 12th, on Tubi. Yep. On Tubi.
Minnie Driver
Yes. You know, we have Jess Hilarious here. She's a Tubi star and the Breakfast Club.
Morgan Wood
Are you.
Minnie Driver
Yes.
Paola Pedrosa
She's been in a lot of movies.
Minnie Driver
On Tubi and the Breakfast Club. Coming. Wow. Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Thank you.
Morgan Wood
Wow.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's not about me.
Minnie Driver
It's.
Morgan Wood
I also want to give good talk to. Because I love my attorney. My attorney is Sabatu. I don't want to say the wrong last name. Sabatu.
Minnie Driver
Sabatu.
Morgan Wood
Salmon.
Minnie Driver
Sabatu.
Paola Pedrosa
Simmons, you brought in a new attorney?
Morgan Wood
No, not Simmons. That's Russell Simmons.
Minnie Driver
How dare you.
Morgan Wood
No, Sabatu. Salmon.
Minnie Driver
Salmon. Okay.
Morgan Wood
No Salmon. Yeah.
Minnie Driver
So that's your new attorney.
Morgan Wood
Oh, yes. And she is a good woman to me.
Minnie Driver
Okay. Okay. Well, yes. Well, good. So. So.
Morgan Wood
So, by the way, by the way, she also told me, no, Wendy, you know that frontal temple dementia. What in the world? You know what I'm saying?
Minnie Driver
So, yeah, I don't understand the diagnosis of frontal temporal dementia because literally, in your court papers, it says there is no single diagnostic test for ftd. And the process for diagnosing ftd, on average, takes more than three years from the disease's onset. So they have. It hasn't even been enough time for them to properly test you for that yet. So I don't know why they're going around saying that you have that.
Morgan Wood
And how do you get that? Like. Like, how do you get that? Like, what do you go through? I don't even know about it. I can't even. I can't even Google it. I can't even scroll it through my. Through my phone. I don't have anything.
Minnie Driver
What they say was. They said for you, it was alcohol induced.
Morgan Wood
Well, I was talking about that. And you know what? I don't know anything about that specifically, but I do know. I do know that. Yes, you know what I'm saying? Who doesn't drink wine that turns into vodka, you know, at times in your life, you know what I'm saying? But I can tell you 100%, you can test me anytime you want. I am alcohol free. And listen, I think I am not part of that. People who. Oh, my gosh. People who drink liquor. Oh, I hate them. It's not that I hate them at all, you know what I'm saying? It's my thing that I care to take care of it on my own behalf, you know what I'm saying?
Charlamagne Tha God
Did they have to test you, retest you when you hired the new lawyer? Because they were saying that's something.
Morgan Wood
Do they have to do.
Charlamagne Tha God
What did they Retest you for your health or anything when you decide. Decided to hire the new lawyer.
Morgan Wood
Oh, no, no, no. I actually had. She was like a co attorney, you know what I'm saying? So I fired the main attorney, you know what I'm saying, the other day, you know what I'm saying? So you saw that on tv. I fired her.
Paola Pedrosa
Yeah.
Morgan Wood
And so stepping into attorney position is.
Paola Pedrosa
Yeah, yeah.
Morgan Wood
A black woman. And I told you, you know, we.
Paola Pedrosa
Reported on it, Wendy, and they were. What I was. What I was told was that the judge might ask just to get the retesting, just to make sure that when you're making these decisions about your attorney, you. You know what you're doing. But I. I was saying that that would help you. That's what me and Jess were talking about, if they did do.
Morgan Wood
Yeah.
Paola Pedrosa
So I didn't know if that came up.
Morgan Wood
No, my. My. My attorney is very good to me. Sadat salami got you.
Paola Pedrosa
Yeah.
Morgan Wood
She's a very good attorney. She's been very good to me, you know what I'm saying? Because I don't know all the intricacies, even after all these years, you know, of what an attorney does, what a judge does, what a guardian person does, what. I mean, specifically, other than, you know, my life, I'm done with this crap.
Minnie Driver
Well, we're rooting for you. And you know, we're always here for you to get your messaging out. And, you know, I love when you call up. Cause I think people are reminded of how erratic you are when you talk, so you're all over the place. So this has nothing to do with anything other than Wendy Williams being Wendy Williams.
Morgan Wood
Yeah, but. But it's disgusting that I have a fake frontal temporal dementia. It's fake.
Minnie Driver
Yeah. Especially if somebody's trying to fall file a lawsuit on your behalf, and they're using that to try to win this lawsuit against ae, which you say you don't want. No parts of the lawsuit.
Morgan Wood
Exactly.
Minnie Driver
Yeah. Wow.
Morgan Wood
Well, by the way. By the way, Charlemagne in the window, how does my liposuction and breast implant look?
Minnie Driver
You look tight. That's why I said you say you're not working out. You look tight.
Charlamagne Tha God
You was snatched up, baby.
Morgan Wood
Thank you. Listen, list. When I saw through the window, you know, on tmz, I was like, damn. You know what I'm saying? I wish my bangs weren't so down. But you know what? It wasn't. It was the window, and I had to look down to talk. You know what I'm saying? And you couldn't See my whole body. You know what I'm saying?
Charlamagne Tha God
So you should have stood up and pulled the wig forward so we could see.
Morgan Wood

To try something new. Choose to reinvent yourself. That's what Nissan did with the all new, totally reimagined Kicks. The dynamic new exterior styling immediately announces that Nissan isn't messing around. Then tearing a completely redesigned cabin with premium features like wireless Apple Carplay and a panoramic moonroof make driving a Kicks impressive and exciting. And with new performance and safety features like intelligent all wheel drive, the Kicks is both more fun and safer to drive than ever before. It's the dawning of a brand new era for the Nissan Kicks. Only one question remains. Is it a new era for you as well? Drive the all new reimagined Nissan Kicks.

Jess Hilarious
Which means I guess there's a seat to fit.
Minnie Driver
Shout out to New Orleans.
Jess Hilarious
But I've been working on something very special. I got something exciting coming for you Thursday the 6th. Till then, I'm just chilling.
Minnie Driver
Why are folks trying to step on the moment?
Charlamagne Tha God
Like, what are we talking about?
Paola Pedrosa
Because I think he felt like he had to respond because people did think that he was gonna be a special guest performer of Kendricks.
DJ Envy
I don't think anybody thought that.
Charlamagne Tha God
Ever thought.
Minnie Driver
I never really thought it. I heard it, but. But I never really thought that was a.
Paola Pedrosa
There's been conversation. So I think he felt like he had to shut down the rumors.
Minnie Driver
Well, I wouldn't do that if I was Wayne. I wouldn't want to be a special guest on Kendrick's set just because it's in New Orleans. I'm still Lil Wayne at the end of 15.
Charlamagne Tha God
And if you got something going on on the 6th, what that got to.
Jess Hilarious
Do with the night?
Minnie Driver
Exactly. Everybody trying to step on Kendrick's moment. It's corny, man. Cut it out.
Paola Pedrosa
Well, in other news. So there have been. Since the last time we talked about it, there have been some new Diddy reports, so.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, God, no.
Paola Pedrosa
This is. This is one of them. So, you know, more accusers have come out. A couple Jane Do's, couple John Does. But specifically. And even before that, Diddy was actually taken to the hospital in the middle of the night as well, too, a couple days ago for something with his knee. He had had a knee surgery before.
Minnie Driver
His knee?
Paola Pedrosa
Yes, he had knee surgery before all of this stuff happened. So I guess maybe he was in.
DJ Envy
Pain, so his knee hurt and they just take him to the hospital.
Paola Pedrosa
That's what they say. But they had to take him out of the jail in the middle of the night to another facility, which normally to me says something else is going on, like some more serious.
Minnie Driver
But, you know, you doing the bending.
Paola Pedrosa
Listen, speaking of, there's a John Doe accuser who says that Diddy forced him in a new lawsuit. Diddy forced him to coat his body with baby oil before sexually assaulting him.
Minnie Driver
Oh, God. I'm not mature enough for these kind of conversations.
Charlamagne Tha God
He forced them. How big is this dude?
Minnie Driver
What?
Paola Pedrosa
I don't know if his weight is listed in this new law, but this.
Charlamagne Tha God
Guy, he holds yourself up. But he was forced by little Diddy.
Paola Pedrosa
He might be a little bulky, though, because he says that him and Diddy's relationship goes back to 2007. He was working as an adult. This is the John Do. He's working as an adult entertainer in Las Vegas. And he says that Diddy used to Hire him for, you know, like come and dance and strip at, I guess, different parties that he was having or something. But he says, okay, all right, cuz.
Charlamagne Tha God
You already be doing okay. So he's a dancer. So dancers be oily already.
DJ Envy
That's a part of the.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's a part of what you do, you know?
Paola Pedrosa
Well, he says when the oil got introduced, when the baby oil got introduced, that's when him and Diddy's relationship went left. He says, what you mean I'm a.
Charlamagne Tha God
Strip for you, but the moment you put on some oil, it's over.
Minnie Driver
Like, but to your point, they already be glistening anyway.
Charlamagne Tha God
Never seen no dry ass dancer.
Paola Pedrosa
Well, he says that after applying the baby oil, he would become sleepy, disoriented, confused, exhausted, drowsy, weak, sluggish and numb. That's what they're saying. But you know, remember in the indictment, like in the indictment when that all first happened, people were trying to say that they found like baby oil that was spiked with stuff. Which prosecutors didn't confirm that, but that was like a rumor or whatever I was gonna say.
Charlamagne Tha God
I never heard that.
Paola Pedrosa
It was mentioned in one of the lawsuits, but it was just like in conversation. It wasn't an allegation, but this is an allegation. He's saying that is what happened to him when the baby oil was put on him. He said this happened to the point where he would have to unknowingly comply to things that and Diddy's demands. And he was essentially coerced into different sexual acts. He says in several counters, Diddy squirted large amounts of baby oil onto his skin coating.
Minnie Driver
Stop laughing. Stop laughing.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, this is crazy.
Minnie Driver
Have some maturity about you, man.
Charlamagne Tha God
He kept paralyzing him every time he moved. He was.
Paola Pedrosa
Then he squirted large amounts of baby oil onto the man's skin, coating his body so heavily in the substance that he cooking chicken that it was jukebox.
Minnie Driver
Canola oil on that meat.
Charlamagne Tha God
Oh, no.
Minnie Driver
Lightly coat that dark meat with that oil. Create a nice sear.
DJ Envy
Continue online.
Paola Pedrosa
Among the sex acts that Diddy allegedly ched this dancer to do while performing, drowsy and confused. He says that it would be masturbation. Oh, wait, can I say you could say masturbation. Masturbation. Intercourse and intercourse with Diddy's female companions. And ejaculation on the woman's body or her mouth.
Charlamagne Tha God
Get it off your chest.
Paola Pedrosa
The guy claims that Diddy will often closely monitor to ensure he was penetrating the woman by putting his face next to their genitals. And he also claims that Diddy once rubbed the man's.
Minnie Driver
Can't say that.
DJ Envy
Rubbed the man's. Yeah, just say. Yeah.
Paola Pedrosa
The S word.
Minnie Driver
Sound like Diddy.
Paola Pedrosa
I can't say that. What comes out of the man.
Minnie Driver
It sound like he executive producing.
Paola Pedrosa
Okay.
DJ Envy
Can't rub it out.
Minnie Driver
It sound like Diddy executive producing studio.
Paola Pedrosa
He says that he would rub it. He would rub it on the woman's. That Diddy would rub it on the woman's body and then lick it off the woman's body.
Charlamagne Tha God
Did he.
Minnie Driver
What? Wait a minute. What happened to the man?
Paola Pedrosa
Now the man. So it's coming.
Wendy Williams
Oh, no, no, no.
Paola Pedrosa
I'm not saying that. Like, what. What comes out of the man? He's using the glaze.
Charlamagne Tha God
Using the man's glaze.
Paola Pedrosa
Puts it on the woman.
Charlamagne Tha God
The woman, according to this man. Glaze.
Paola Pedrosa
He licks it. Okay, this a little too much of the woman.
DJ Envy
This is getting a little too far.
Paola Pedrosa
In the docs, the man says that he always believed he would be able to resist, like, any sexual advances going into different encounters. But he says he found himself in unable to do so once Diddy applied the bab. His body. He claims that this led on for years and with a lot of empty promises. Diddy said he would make a music star, and he blackmailed him with videos of the different encounters. And the guy says he finally worked up the courage to file lawsuit. After Cassie sued Diddy and the mogul was arrested. His attorney, Lisa Bloom, says she's very proud of her client and this is a new case. But this case will not rest until justice is served.
Minnie Driver
I know y'all be online saying people be glazing. Eating the glaze is crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Crazy, crazy. My God, Yes.
Paola Pedrosa
Licking allegedly.
Jess Hilarious

Charlamagne Tha God

Minnie Driver
If we live a life where we bite our tongue based off who we may have seen, we never would Say anything on the Breakfast Club. In the words of Charlemagne, the God, he's a donkey.
J
Oh, man, Charlemagne. You giving donkey the day to who now?
Minnie Driver
Well, Busta Rhymes, donkey of the day for Wednesday, February 5th goes to Raymond Arroyo. Raymond is an American author, journalist and producer who appeared on Fox this week, Fox News to discuss all things Grammys. And I let the record show. This is one of the best Grammys I've seen in a long time. Dropping a clues bombs for the Grammys this year. Personally, to me, all right, to me, they got a lot right. Rhapsody winning best melodic rap performance for 3am with Queen Erykah Badu. Dolce winning best rap album for Alligator Bites. Never Hill. Kendrick Lamar going 5 for 5 for the greatest diss record of all time. Not like us. And of course, Beyonce winning best country album and album of the year. Now there's debates, you know, about all of these people and all of these different awards that were won and who should have won and why. I saw people saying Dolce is an industry plant. People think the Grammys gave Kendrick all those awards despite Drake. And of course, Beyonce winning best Country Album was going to piss some people off. And Raymond is one of those people because he was on Laura Ingram show on Fox and he. He had this to say. Let's listen now.
Morgan Wood
What do you make of that? Legendary country artist Beyonce winning for best country Album.
Minnie Driver
I want to put this in some context, Laura.
Morgan Wood
Dolly Parton has 10 Grammys.
Minnie Driver
Frank Sinatra had 11 Grammys.
Morgan Wood
Beyonce has 35. How is that possibly commensurate with that talent?
Minnie Driver
I mean, come on. And what people don't know about the.
Morgan Wood
Grammys is everybody votes in every genre. You can vote in up to 20 genres. So basically, Lady Gaga's cat sitter votes for.
Minnie Driver
For, you know, best Reggae and best country album.
Morgan Wood
So that's why you get this ridiculous.
Minnie Driver
Outcome that has nothing to do with the country audience or the country musician. That's not true. Only people in the music industry vote for the Grammys. But you know, Raymond, if you don't feel Beyonce should win best country album, fine. Okay, maybe you thought post Malone F1 was better. Maybe you thought Lainey Wilson Whirlwind was better. Maybe you thought Chris Stapleton Hyatt was better. I don't know. But for you to sit up there and attempt to rain on Beyonce's parade and hate on her for having 35 Grammys is utterly ridiculous. Okay, once again, that's your opinion. But listen to the context of what he said. Dolly Parton has 10 Grammys. Frank Sinatra had 11 Grammys. Beyonce has 35. How. How does that possibly come. What did you say? Commensurate with the talent. What did he say? I can't remember the word he used. But basically, how. How does her talent equate to 35 Grammys? Because she's talented. Okay? Now, you don't have to love Beyonce. You don't even have to like her music. But one thing you cannot deny I is her talent. Okay? Dolly Parton and Frank Sinatra are incredible talents. Legends, icon, living. Well, icons one is living. But neither one of them have been dancing in stiletto since the age of 12. Okay? Also, neither one of them are verbs. What do you mean, Uncle Charlotte? Neither one of them are verbs. Beyonce is a verb. Well, to be clear, because my mother is an English teacher. She is a proper noun, okay? Beyonce is a proper noun that is often used as a verb. You can say various things to people like, you ain't Beyonce. Okay, to remind people, folks, you not excellent. You're not as fly as you think you are, okay? Use it in the center, Charlemagne. Why you following zero people on Instagram? You not Beyonce. Okay, my point is, Raymond, Dolly Parton herself has praised Beyonce's work. Dolly Parton is on Cowboy Carter. Okay? Remember what Dolly said about Beyonce on E. News about eight months ago. Listen, Beyonce covering Joe.
Charlamagne Tha God
I know.
Jess Hilarious
What are your thoughts on her version?
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, I think it was very bold of her, but I love what she did to it.
Minnie Driver
I was very proud of her album. I thought she did a great job.
Charlamagne Tha God
In country music and I thought it was great and I was just happy she did.
Minnie Driver
Jolene. Listen, Raymond, it's not apples and oranges, okay? You gotta dig a little deeper on who is voting for Grammys and how they come to these conclusions. And if you mad at the voters is now. Oh, you'd have been pissed off even more back then because you mentioned Frank Sinatra. You know, the year he had two number one albums. He only won one Grammy and was nominated for five. And you know what he won for his album cover. Okay, that's crazy. His album cover, not his music. Look it up. He won his first Grammy in 1959 for only the Lonely and he won for the COVID On the COVID he was dressed as a sad clown. Raymond, you can relate. All right? Now mind you, in 1959, he had only the Lonely and Come Fly With Me. He was nominated for five Grammys, including Album of the year, but he won for his album cover, so. Knock it off, Raymond. The Grammys of the Grammys. Sometimes they get it right. Sometimes they get it wrong. This year, they got it absolutely right. And giving Beyonce 35 Grammys over her career is absolutely the right thing to do. But usually, you know, when you voting yes for Beyonce, you are getting it right. And everyone is entitled to the their opinion. But Miley Cyrus thought Beyonce should have won. I think she knows more about music than the both of us. Raymond. All I'm saying, man, is everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but sometimes our opinions can be wrong, or sometimes our opinions can be rooted in hate. And, Raymond, as a person who can also be an objective hater. I am an objective hater. What you are doing is hating. But I saw Whoopi Goldberg get on your ass on your View yesterday, and I enjoyed what she had to say. Let's listen. She earned it.
Charlamagne Tha God
The thing you have, you know, you want to.
Minnie Driver
You want to hold on to country music. Like white people didn't also buy her country album.
Morgan Wood
Come on, man.
Minnie Driver
People voted for it. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don't.
Charlamagne Tha God
Same with the Oscars.
Morgan Wood
Sit down.
Minnie Driver
Sit down.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's right.
Minnie Driver
She told you. Please let Chelsea Handler give Raymond Arroyo the biggest Hee haw.
Paola Pedrosa
Hee haw.
Minnie Driver
Hee haw. That is way too much, Dan Mayonnaise. Yes, it is. All right, I agree.
DJ Envy
Well, thank you for that donkey today. Now, when we come back, TK Kirkland will be joining us. Comedian TK Kirkland. And we're going to talk to him next. And don't go anywhere. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Charlamagne Tha God
Everybody.
DJ Envy
Is Dej Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lo and the Rose is hanging with us as well. We got a special guest in the building, TK Kirkland.
Jess Hilarious
How you doing, brother? Ladies, it's a pleasure. It's a pleasure. Good to see the beautiful women up here early in the morning.
AJ Stephens
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
I cannot believe you just told me you were 65 years old.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, I'm a OG for real.
Charlamagne Tha God
You really look good.
Jess Hilarious
Ah, I'm supposed to.
Charlamagne Tha God
I mean. Yeah, but I'm just saying 65, you know, I don't really see.
Jess Hilarious
You know what I'm saying? I understand what you're saying, though. I see what you're saying.
Minnie Driver
Yeah. But say thank you.
Jess Hilarious
It. My apologies. Thank you. Young.
Minnie Driver
What's the youngest you go, T.K. as far as ladies the age cut.
Jess Hilarious
Off, long as the coat ain't cheap. I hate women with cheap coats.
Minnie Driver
Okay.
Jess Hilarious
A cheap coat is a. Is. Is like I come fly, and I'm picking you up, and you got che I'll leave you there.
Minnie Driver
Damn.
Charlamagne Tha God
Well, how long do you have to live to feel like you have a mental illness if you try to be a stepfather to somebody?
Jess Hilarious
Well, I'm glad you bought that. That up because it's not really mental illness. It's a lot of different stories because two things could be true at the same time.
Charlamagne Tha God
You're right.
Jess Hilarious
Right. So the thing about when I brought that question up, it all depends on what man or woman is receiving that information at that time. Because there are some great moments. There are people who raise beautiful children and stuck in the family. And then there are some disasters of people who took on that responsibility and wish they had nothing to do with. And they. And one story exactly in point. A guy married a woman, wasn't his kid. He signed up to be father. They got a divorce. He had to pay child support for another man's child.
Paola Pedrosa
But don't you know if that guy knows when he signs he signed a birth certificate is what you mean?
Jess Hilarious
Right? Right.
Paola Pedrosa
But you know when you sign a birth certificate, that. That could come later down the line if something were to happen. Right.
Jess Hilarious
I totally agree with you. 100. But most men, when they come into relationship, think it's a great thing. And then there's some women that'll make you want to just. Some women just have that thing about them.
Minnie Driver
You.
Jess Hilarious
You say, I'll do anything for you until you get into it. And then most. Some men, they come into money, they cocky, they feel a certain way until all their money run out. And then you go, damn.
Minnie Driver
I don't.
Paola Pedrosa
Know how much I'm feeling you now exactly.
Jess Hilarious
Because once your money gone. I had a gentleman up in Harlem, he pulled me to the side, and when he met the young lady, he was spending a lot of money. He had came into a lot of money he was spending.
Minnie Driver
He.
Jess Hilarious
After my interview, he pulled me outside. He said, TK what to do. So what do you mean? He said, I was spending all this money, was eating at all these good restaurants, and I just don't have it no more. I said, she only. She was only rocking with you because you had money. I said, that's you thinking that she might really just like you for you. I said, you just got to take your chances. But that's how most. It was a young guy, so that's how some of these people think. So everything is just based on how you was raised, the people who rock around you and your experiences.
Charlamagne Tha God
So it's not an a mental illness. It's just.
Jess Hilarious
No, it's not A mental illness, it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Goes on by a case by case.
Jess Hilarious
It goes by case by case situation. Right. I just think when I said that at that moment. Right. It was this mental illness. And what happened to the world is they attach on to things that are easily to argue about because nobody takes the time to take the emotion out. I always tell people, listen to the story. Don't put yourself in the story. What people do when they hear my stories, they put themselves in the story and then they become a victim. And then you become a victim. You attack me because you think I'm personally am talking about you, but I never mentioned nobody's name.
Minnie Driver
There's an economy of garnering engagement through enragement. Yes. So they want you to be enraged so they can engage everybody on social media. That's how they get people going.
Jess Hilarious
Right? Yeah. Because I don't know you. I'm just speaking for.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't give a damn. You said that it is a completely un. Unnatural thing. Like you are pretending to be something that you're not.
Jess Hilarious
That is true though. When you wait, when you go touch.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's what I said.
Paola Pedrosa
You did attach it to that too. You said it's like when a. I forget if you said a man or a woman, but basically someone pretends to be a sex that they're not.
Jess Hilarious
Yes. And here's the thing. I got two things about that. We're talking two about two different things. We talk about one but not talking about. And I do talk about that on stage. Yeah. So we got two things. We could bring them up about me, mental illness.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Jess Hilarious
We're talking stuff with you first, I think as acting, you meet a child, you meet a woman, she fine. And I want to meet your kids. You over here playing with this kid ain't your child.
Charlamagne Tha God
It's my child though.
Jess Hilarious
You understand what I'm saying?
Charlamagne Tha God
I do.
Jess Hilarious
My point that I'm making, it comes down to choices. Yeah. I love you. I'm gonna help look out for you.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay.
Jess Hilarious
But nobody's never gave nobody the young kids to game and start their own legacy, their own foundation, their own line of children.
Paola Pedrosa
Okay, I get where you.
Minnie Driver
That's.
Jess Hilarious
That's what I mean. I'm not saying it's bad. I'm saying I'd rather for you to take the chance to risk, to have your own family than to take a risk you around Thanksgiving dinner, everybody relate except you. That's just me. And I'm italic to think that talk about the gay people.
Paola Pedrosa
I get where you go, but that's.
Minnie Driver
Not a form of mental illness.
Paola Pedrosa
No, no, no, no.
Jess Hilarious
Got.
Minnie Driver
You got. Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
It was really part of my comedy skit, and I say it on stage just to get people in.
Minnie Driver
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But.
Wendy Williams
Oh, because you lured me.
Charlamagne Tha God
But I didn't become a victim. It was just the fact that you was. It was how it was. It sounded like you was describing, like.
Jess Hilarious
Something like training about it. It's a conversation that needs to be talked about.
Morgan Wood
It.
Charlamagne Tha God
No, it certainly. Especially with the first thing that you brought up about the guy signing the.
Jess Hilarious
It's a conversation because we want people. People to make good decisions, especially young men.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
We want young men not to. Just because a girl is beautiful. Just because this and that. Think about the long term. Think about the. And it's not against the females. It makes the female, too, make better choices as well to the man that she's gonna sleep with. So when I'm on stage and I'm talking my game and I'm explaining why a man over here works hard, get his life together. You know, this one was in the Hampton Inn. Men having a good time, eating cheese eggs. Her life is destroyed, and they get together now because he's a man, he got to risk everything. Nah, I don't want that for my brothers. I want them to make a better. Don't get me wrong. It happens. But it's not to put nobody down and to talk about the gays. I'm not against gay people.
Paola Pedrosa
I get it now, though.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah. But I'm gonna say something that's very important.
Paola Pedrosa
Okay.
Jess Hilarious
Before, I used to talk about transgenders or whatever, but in actuality, I think it's brilliant what they done.
Charlamagne Tha God
How?
Jess Hilarious
Meaning for you to develop in your mind that you're something that you're not and actually go through with it. It's. Damn it.
Minnie Driver
Powerful.
Jess Hilarious
It's powerful to me because it tells me you could have been anything you wanted to be if you put your mind to it.
Charlamagne Tha God
Okay. Wow.
Minnie Driver
You could have been anything. You could have been anything thing.
Jess Hilarious
That's all I'm saying. And it's not to hurt nobody. It's not. This just my observation. Right. This is my observation.
Minnie Driver
You know, the thing I love about TK he is always spitting wisdom and just giving out life lessons, like, you know, telling people the importance of drinking water before you drink coffee in the morning.
Jess Hilarious
Yes. Because, you know, I read a lot, and a lot of people don't know when you. If you drink coffee before you drink water, the coffee destroys the enzymes in your stomach. Stomach. To dissolve your food. Just like, in the black community, when our feet get dry, they always say, put Vaseline on it and socks. And I found out that the goal is that's the wrong thing to do when your feet are dry. You have vitamin deficiency. You have to use vitamin B3, vitamin B9, or omega to help with your dry feet. So all we've been talking about all these years is the surface not saying that is on the inside. So we got to put vitamins back into our body.
Charlamagne Tha God
Wow.
Minnie Driver
That's good. Life lessons.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah. Good life lesson, you know?
DJ Envy
All right, we got more with TK Kirkland when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
Minnie Driver
Morning, everybody.
DJ Envy
It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne, the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Lauren Laros is hanging with us as well, and we're still kicking it with TK Kirkland.
Minnie Driver
Charlemagne, why you ain't did Club Shay Shay yet?
Jess Hilarious
TK Believe it or not, I got an email. Email from Club Shay Shay to do that show.
Minnie Driver
And I think that'd be damn good to see you on club.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, it was gonna happen. This email was someone fraudulent, pretending that they was Club Shay Shay.
Charlamagne Tha God
They have been doing that. Like, I don't know. I got an email from Angie Martinez. People's like, yo, she wants you to come up there.
Minnie Driver
She right there.
Charlamagne Tha God
I know she right across the hallway. It was like, she want to pay you. I was like, oh, she gonna pay me for Interview. Yes. And then other big platforms, they have, like. It's spam.
Jess Hilarious
I don't get. Let me tell you something. I don't know who got that kind of time.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
I don't know who has that time. Like, a guy from Africa hit me and had a little situation. They were stealing my Instagram and social media. At one time, you can't even call, and they say, facetime, you can't do it because they got computers over there to get your face, take your voice. Because somebody was going around asking for money and talk about family packages. And the girl said, TK they had your face. So one time when I did it, I know the guy who did it.
Minnie Driver
He.
Jess Hilarious
He took a picture of my face, and then he was calling people.
Minnie Driver
She said, you could see you real.
Jess Hilarious
Quick, and then your face was gone. Oh, no. So I said I would never ask nobody for no money. This is crazy what's going on out here. Crazy.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. They have been doing fake emails, everything.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah. So I hope to do Shay Shay. Godfrey was trying to hook me up with Club say, and I think it will happen this year, but I do know also that when I get on that show, it's gonna be a phenomenal show.
Minnie Driver
Oh, absolutely. Because your history is so rich. You got too much of a rich history. And that's why I said I would love to see you do it. Because I like, I actually like seeing comics on that show.
Jess Hilarious
Yes.
Minnie Driver
Because like they have these long form conversations you really get a lot out of.
Jess Hilarious
Right. And I'm not. And one thing about me, I don't diss nobody. So that show would truly be about knowledge and wisdom, them and impacting the world. That's, that's the way I like to move. Because when I, when I talk about Donald Trump and a lot of people don't like him, some people love him. And I was talking in my stand up, I said, when you don't like someone like that, how do you, you got to find a way to use them. You got a person like that, how do you use them? The goal to use Donald Trump is the same way the Democrats use Donald Trump. See, a lot of people think that Democrats is against Donald Trump. And on TV they are. But in the stock market they not. Because everybody in the stock market on the Democrats has invested in all these different companies to make them extremely rich. And you have to take the same format that they have taken. When you talk about Elon Musk. Elon Musk is not trying to be Donald Trump's friend just because it's a reason down the line. So if you study Elon Musk, there's some things you hear an important point. He's getting ready to come up with Tesla Cab in a couple years and it's going to be automated, no drop driver. So I tell people you have a job, you can make sure your credit is good, lease one in those cars and have people pick and have that car picking people up from the airport as a second income, third income. I said, but your credit got to be good. Then I tell people and I'll share it on this show. I'm going teach people right now how you don't need a credit specialist to get your credit good. I'm telling people right now how I can save you thousands of dollars. Just pay the people you owe.
Minnie Driver
Listening all intense. I'm like, all right, so listen, with all of the chaos Trump has caused, you think he can do some good?
Jess Hilarious
I've been around a long time and I'm gonna tell you what I see. I've seen this energy before. We gonna talk about energy, not the face energy. Cause I'm into quantum physics. Last person I saw moved like this didn't live a long time because they was moving at such rap pace. They didn't know they was gonna leave here, but the universe did, and that was Tupac. Tupac moved at a rate a rapid speed.
Minnie Driver
Both Gemini, by the way, can Trump. Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
I didn't know that.
Minnie Driver
Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
He's moving at a speed that tells me something's going to bad happen. This is my. My personal take on the universe. When I seen people move this way. This man has done something that takes four years and two weeks, and he's just constantly going after everybody. That doesn't. The energy doesn't make sense. Because you're trying to make sense of all this, right. To the average person, you're like, what? What is he doing? But from what I've seen, there's something bad about to happen. I don't know what it is. I don't wish no bad luck.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Jess Hilarious
I just seen that energy before. And we'll see.
Minnie Driver
The only difference is that Pac was doing hurt him.
Jess Hilarious
Yes.
Minnie Driver
What Trump is doing hurts the world.
Jess Hilarious
Exactly. And. But we're talking about energy. His energy.
Minnie Driver
Absolutely.
Jess Hilarious
Right. So now you want to get deep about Trump setting us back 60 something years is something that we didn't even see coming. Right. And what Trump's gonna do in this country, by the time he's done, whether you get to finish out his four years, another four, it would take three lifetimes to get it back to where it was.
Minnie Driver
That's right.
Jess Hilarious
That's the damage he's doing. It would take three lifetimes. Now, me, personally, I'm on the other side of the hill, you know, I'm a senior citizen, you know, I wish y'all the best. Good luck with. I wish y'all the best.

To try something new. Choose to reinvent yourself. That's what Nissan did with the all new, totally reimagined Kicks. The dynamic new exterior styling immediately announces that Nissan isn't messing around. The interior, a completely redesigned cabin with premium features like wireless Apple CarPlay CarPlay and a panoramic moonroof make driving a Kicks impressive and exciting.

The news is real.
Charlamagne Tha God
Jessica Robin Moore J Don't do no lies.
DJ Envy
Don't do.
Charlamagne Tha God
She don't spare nobody.
Minnie Driver
On the Breakfast Club. She's a culture shooter. She was 8.
Charlamagne Tha God
Able to get y'all to see something and understand something that nobody could get you to see.
Minnie Driver
It's time to set it off.
Charlamagne Tha God
So tell me about Cardi and Party being best friends. I had no idea. I didn't know they were best friends.
Paola Pedrosa
I didn't know they were besties.
Minnie Driver
I knew crazy.
Paola Pedrosa
I knew they went back for. Why we gotta be crazy?
Charlamagne Tha God
Because we don't know the New York stories. I didn't know they was best friends.
DJ Envy
They Talk about it all the time.
Paola Pedrosa
I know that they was friends, and I knew they went back for some time. I knew he wrote for her. I knew they worked together. I knew they was home homies. But I found out yesterday that they was best friends because Cardi B had to come online and clear up some stuff because the people were coming for her because they dropping a song on Friday and she's working with Party again. And you know, she's also Team Meg the Stallion.
Charlamagne Tha God
But that's the thing. That's the thing, though. What you mean again? She stopped working with him before.
Paola Pedrosa
Well, people, from what we know. Because I think the last time people saw her work with him was way back when he wrote her earlier stuff.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Paola Pedrosa
And like, whatever. But let's take a listen to her because she had some stuff to get off her chest last night. Leave me alone with that whole partisan, because at the end of the day, I've been knowing partisans since2012.
Charlamagne Tha God
Partisan did me the hook of Bodak Yellow.
Paola Pedrosa
And on top of that, he helped me with my album. And I've been knowing this person since 2012. And not only he's my best friend, he's my best friend, Keita.
Charlamagne Tha God
Best friend.
Paola Pedrosa
So y'all need to stop with the bull. This is the real world, not this fake parallel world. And that's why when people be in relationships, I be out the way and mind my business because I forbid something happened. I'm letting both of them know right now. I am not going to stop talking to both.
Minnie Driver
Both of them.
Paola Pedrosa
I with both of y'all. I am the child of the relationship, and I stay out of Yash. Understand? You don't talk to me about him. I don't. You don't talk to me about her. That's how I always give it up. Because at the end of the day.
Minnie Driver
I with both of you, and I.
Paola Pedrosa
Love both of y'all. That's just what it is.
Charlamagne Tha God
So this basically her talking about Megan. Like, all right, I'm cool with Megan. I'm cool with Party.
Minnie Driver
I don't.
Charlamagne Tha God
But who said that they. What? Why is she doing it? Like, somebody says, because fans online because.
Paola Pedrosa
Party's been posting, like, videos of them in the studio. I think she posted something as well. They also have, like, the visuals now because they're dropping a song right Friday called Tooted.
Charlamagne Tha God
Right.
Paola Pedrosa
And people were like, that's fake, Cardi, because you so team, like, the Stallion. You know what I mean? And a lot of people don't like Party because of everything that happened after.
Minnie Driver
The breakup was Cardi was friends before Meg ever came in the picture. They was working together before Meg ever.
DJ Envy
Came in the picture, before she was signed.
Minnie Driver
And as she said, okay, y'all want to get in a relationship, all right. But if things go sour, they ain't got nothing to do with me.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah. Like this.
Charlamagne Tha God
The real world ain't that.
Minnie Driver
And that be the problem. Everybody on the Internet think they know what's really going on in people's lives.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah.
Paola Pedrosa
When I saw them together, though, I wasn't like, oh, my God, why is she working with him? I was like, oh, they back. They working together again.
Charlamagne Tha God
I don't think they ever stopped, though.
DJ Envy
That was.
Charlamagne Tha God
All right. That's what I'm saying. Like, you know, I thought that was just her writer.
Minnie Driver
And I'm glad they working together. They make great music together.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. And speaking of, we need that to drop Cardi, so.
Paola Pedrosa
Too.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah. Too.
Paola Pedrosa
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
I'm talking about album.
Paola Pedrosa
She said it's coming. This year's record.
DJ Envy
Or is it parties?
Paola Pedrosa
I believe it's parties. And Cardi is on it. But Cardi said it. The Grammys. Her album is coming. I believe the name of it is Put a bow on It.
DJ Envy
Okay.
Paola Pedrosa
Coming this year.
Minnie Driver
Okay.
Paola Pedrosa
Speaking of music, Rick Ross. You guys remember here in the room the other day we talked about Rick Ross and 50 Cent and Big Me?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, yeah. And how he should have cut his hair. What, she don't like Big Me? Big Me, I talk. Nah.
DJ Envy
I don't know they put over you that much.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Cuz it's like when the hairline, you know, and I'm wanting to talk hairlines, cuz I. I ain't really got a great one, you know, so I can relate. He can't get straight backs with the arch that he got because the. The arch goes back too far. So you're saying he ain't got no side? No. No. It ain't enough.
DJ Envy
You really analyze this.
Jess Hilarious
Yeah, yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Because the two braids shouldn't be skinny and the one that's fat in the middle, you can't do that.
Paola Pedrosa
Well, Jess is crazy. Rick Ross is defending his breakdown friend, Big Meech. He's saying. He's saying a lot of things in. In response to 50 Cent calling big Meech a rat on online. Let's take a listen.
J
Put your back against the wall and just slide down. Biggest boss. I've been separated myself from these broke. They don't understand the rules to the streets. You understand? Don't know. Oh, you nothing, homie. Y'all get Money together. Y'all get money, keep moving all that extra. You don't even have a relationship with your own bro brothers, your own mothers and fathers. How the you gonna act like you real close with me? Stop all that fake cap. Why you got no money? You need a loan. Come see the boss. Hey, Curtis Jackson, you more than welcome to bring that Versace Lamborghini to the car show June 7th. And your little homies, I know them with them.
Charlamagne Tha God
How many parents 50 got? I said, you ain't even the close with your own mothers and your own fathers.
Paola Pedrosa
I think he's talking to 50 and people that had something to say online. But in my.
Morgan Wood
You.
Charlamagne Tha God
You call 50 broke, though? How do you just. It's just like you just saying stuff now.
Minnie Driver
How they gonna respond at 4:00 in the morning on a Friday, randomly? Everybody gonna be done, forgot what happened. He just gonna come out of nowhere and say something.
Paola Pedrosa
I think anybody that says that Big Meat should have loyalty to 50 in the situation. I don't understand them people because I do think that there should have been some. Some sort of loyalty, but I don't know, behind the scenes, everything that went down, but I do think that there should have been some, Some sort of loyalty there.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, I. It's a part of me that kind of understand, understand the part that he's talking about, like, man, look, nobody worrying about all that, like the, the ending part of what it is. Yeah. Like business is business. I. A part of me understands a part of that. I do understand that.
Minnie Driver
Well, they always say there's no permanent friends and enemies in business, just permanent interest.
DJ Envy
Yeah.
Charlamagne Tha God
Because this is, this is the thing. I understand that 50 got, you know, the, the ongoing beef with the people and all of that. You. You understand what I'm saying? But it, it seems like their, their transaction is just business. Like. Or is he friends with Big Meech? Is he friends with Terry? Is he friends with. You know, I mean, we don't know.
Paola Pedrosa
Yeah, we don't know. I was always under the impression that it was a bit more maybe, but I don't. I don't know. I don't know the behind the scenes. So we'll have to see what 50.
Minnie Driver
Also, you got to tell 50 give you a list. If you and 50 get cool. You got like, all right, give me a list. Let me know, let me see who.
Paola Pedrosa
I think it's more of a book.
Minnie Driver
And then after you read the encyclopedia, then you should determine whether or not you want to be friends with.
Morgan Wood
Right, Right.
Charlamagne Tha God
Because now, you know Whoever you beef with, I can't be, I can't talk to.
Minnie Driver
That's right.
Paola Pedrosa
Yeah, well, Marcus Jordan swinging it back to some other things we talked about here. Marcus Jordan, we know he was pulled over in Florida. DUI they found cocaine on and also alleged that he was resisting arrest. The body cam footage came out and boy, was it interesting. Let's take a listen to him being pulled over by the Maitland Police Department.
Minnie Driver

Jess Hilarious

Jess Hilarious
And I turned onto the train tracks.
J

Jess Hilarious

Minnie Driver

Charlamagne Tha God

Minnie Driver
You got cocaine, you're drunk and you're saying you're Michael Jordan's son. Everybody I meet that's high and drunk with the last name Jordan says they're Michael Jordan.
Charlamagne Tha God
And you, white girl in the passenger seat laughing. I can confirm. Guys like, who are you supposed to be? If she was black, she would not be t saying that. That to my point. That's what he like. He, he gonna keep getting in that type of trouble. We keep dealing with them.
Paola Pedrosa

Charlamagne Tha God

Minnie Driver

Paola Pedrosa
The picture? Thank you, Jess. Cuz I forgot the picture. This is his car. And then the train came by as they doing all the like stuff too, but it was crazy. He also thought that the officers was trying to grab his situation down here. Cuz they start to, they start to.
DJ Envy
Search him, start patting him down.
Paola Pedrosa
He's like, you ain't going to find nothing down there but big hey yo y.
Minnie Driver
That's what the cop actually did him a favor.
Jess Hilarious
No, he did, because he would be.

Charlamagne Tha God
Situation the way he did and him and the. And he'd be in jail because the white girl would be dead. Yeah. Oh, wait, no. If he died and he can't go.
Minnie Driver

It's DJ Envy. Just hilarious. Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. It's Black History Month. Charlamagne.
Minnie Driver
What we doing, man? You know, every day during Black History Month, my guy B. Dot puts out a podcast called I didn't know, maybe you didn't either on the Black Effect iHeartradio podcast network. And on today's episode of I didn't know, maybe you didn't either. He is going to tell you about Grace Wisha and how she helped to s the American flag.
J
Now, when folks talk about the American flag, all you ever hear is Betsy Ross this and Betsy Ross that, but Betsy don't know ish. Cause Betsy can't rap. I would like that Bo Jackson commercial. Keep up. Look, the point is, folks is always talking about Betsy Ross and that flag like she the Beyonce in the sewing world or something. But what they don't tell you is that there was someone else putting in the work. A young black woman named Grace Wisher. Now, Grace was an apprentice right there with Betsy Ross helping stitch that flag together. But you think Betsy ever gave her as much as a shout out? Nope. That joint don't say. The flag was created by Betsy Ross featuring Grace Wisher at the bottom of it.
Minnie Driver
Nothing.
J
It's like Grace was the az to Betsy's Nas, you know what I'm saying? Like az, a lyrical genius co wrote some of the best verses on Illmatic. But when folks talk about that album, they act like he wasn't even there. Grace was in the same boat, y'all. And let me tell you, Grace didn't even have the option to shine. It wasn't like she could hop on Instagram and post a selfie. Like day three of stitching the stars and stripes on y'all. BlackGirlMagic. No, this was the 1700s. Grace wasn't gonna get no flowers. Cause back then, black women didn't get no flowers. Hell, black people wasn't even allowed to get near the bouquet. Grace's story is wild to me though, because her hands were literally on the symbol of freedom. Freedom. But she didn't even get a seat at the table. She like most deaf Yor y'all seeing Bae now that what we call him. She another one of them dope MCs. But he wasn't chasing commercial fame. He was out there spitting truth, making classics like Black on Both sides. But mainstream was like, nah, we good on that. Grace was out here sewing up up history and society was like, nah, we good on that. See, Bessie Ross is like the Dr. Dre of the whole operation. Like, she had the connections, she got the credit. And Grace, she was like goody mob in the south, pioneering, doing soulful conscious work. But usually outcasts get all the credit for the South. And I mean, come on. Like without Goody mob, Southern hip hop wouldn't have been the same. Without Grace Wisher, that flag wouldn't have been the the same either. So here's the real talk. When you see that American flag flying high, don't just think about Betsy ross. Think about 16 year old Grace Wisher. A little black apprentice that was behind the scenes making it happen. Even though she was not allowed to shine. She like Raekwon from Wu Tang, only built for Cuban links, is a masterpiece. But you know, folks is always like, oh, met the man. Oh, ghost face. Nah, man, give Raekwon his flag flowers and give Grace Wisher her flowers. She's proof that history ain't all about who gets the credit, it's about who did the work. So next time you see that 50 starred 13 striped American flag, you just remember a 16 year old black woman helped to make it happen. And I didn't know. Maybe you didn't either.
DJ Envy
Happy Black History Month.
Minnie Driver
That's right, man. And make sure you subscribe to the I didn't know. Maybe you didn't need the podcast on the Black Effect iHeartradio podcast network. And always remember, remember that you can subscribe where all podcasts are available.

Charlamagne Tha God
In school, when I was in freaking.
Minnie Driver
High school, you got them done. No, I got them arched one time because somebody told me that's what Tupac did.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's. That's what Tupac is. A gas kid. I want to be like Tupac in a tub.
DJ Envy
Back of his head, too.
Minnie Driver
I haven't done that since I was 18 years old. My point is, I'm not 47 with a filter on trying to do radio cuz I'm at home on Zoom and. And got to get called out by my co host.
Paola Pedrosa
That's.
Charlamagne Tha God
That's the sun coming in.
Minnie Driver
That's the sun. He tried to lie at first. You talk about the glow and then he's like, who did that?
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, who put this on here?
Minnie Driver
You know what it was when he like this? He ain't expecting the thing to move.
Charlamagne Tha God
Yeah, yeah. That's how I knew that I put my hand. That's how I knew you didn't know that it was a filter because people with filters don't do that. They know damn well that the eyebrows still gonna be on their fingers. So he knows that. But speaking of Valentine's Day, if you're not doing anything, you need to come celebrate with me and Chris.
