Speaker 2 (00:38):
Renovation. Correct.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
It's impossible to walk in here and not be a
little winded.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Be slightly sweaty. You know what I mean? Just a
little glaze. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Not like perspiring, but just a glaze. Just a little,
you know, a little touch up. A little take a
little napkin and dab.
Speaker 7 (00:54):
Dab.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It takes a little bit.
Speaker 8 (00:56):
Because the girls got on makeup, so it's like, whoa.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's a little extra. It's
a little extra.
Speaker 9 (01:01):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
We got to go through it for a while, too.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Yeah, probably a year.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
If we had 15 minutes, you know, to just woosah
before the show, it'd be different.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
But our woosah is when the show starts.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
It's not our fault. It's a 6-12. It's not like
we don't try to get here at a decent time.
There was traffic, right?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
There was an accident this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So that took a little bit. And, you know, we
got in when we got in.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
And there's always construction going on in New York. It's
a lot.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
It's a lot. It's always a lot.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
It's a lot.
Speaker 10 (01:31):
Damn.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Good morning, y'all. We're here. We're here live with Blessings.
It's a great thing.
Speaker 11 (01:35):
That's nice.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
We got a special guest joining us this morning.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Oh, man.
Speaker 12 (01:38):
Skillababy will be joining us. His new album, The Price
of Fame, is out right now.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I love Skillab.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
So we're going to be talking to Skillababy, Detroit's own.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
That was a great conversation we had with Skillababy, man.
I can't wait for y'all to hear it.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Skillababy is a.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I like watching the maturation of human beings. You know
what I'm saying? Especially the maturation of black men.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (01:56):
You know?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
It's a salute to the brothers.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Because them young brothers deal with a lot, man. You know,
there is no manual for this. Like, you know, when
you come from the environments that these brothers come from
and then achieve the levels of success that they do,
there's no manual that tells you how to do this right.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
You know? And there's no.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Manual to tell other people how to react to you.
Because a lot of times, it's not you that change.
It's everybody around you.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (02:18):
Yeah, we're going to be talking about all that in
the latest with Keefy D and Lil Durk. There were
so many updates with that, so we'll be breaking that down. And,
of course, we've got front page news next with Mimi.
She'll be joining us. You see, I'm still a little
tired because I have to get my ass in this bitch.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
I know.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
I told you. This is our woosah period. That's it.
Speaker 11 (02:35):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
And get it off your chest.
Speaker 9 (02:37):
800-585-1051.
Speaker 12 (02:37):
If you need to vent, you can hit us up
right now.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
What are we starting the show with?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I don't know. Something to send them kids back to school.
I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Oh, this is Skilla Baby right here.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
This is Thick One. Yeah, Thick One, Skilla Baby, 4-2-Dub.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Thick One?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, Thick One.
Speaker 12 (02:50):
Oh, first it said Thick One, then you said Thick One.
I'm still tired, man. I had to run up in
this building today.
Speaker 9 (02:55):
800-585-1051.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Get it off your chest. Front page news is next, y'all.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I can't put my.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I can't, you know, place a guaranteed bet on this.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
But I think Skilla Baby want the thick one.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
He did. Yeah. He mean like fat girls? Like he
like the cushioners?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I was thinking about that because some of y'all out
there think you think you thick, but you really fat.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I don't think he meant overweight. I think he meant thick.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Well, you can be fat and not overweight.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And you can be thick and be fat because some
of y'all 5'6, 180 and your BMI is 29.0 and
that places you in the overweight category.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
My bad, Evie. You know what? That's not true.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I can be fat, but not overweight. You're right.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
You're right. I'm sorry. I'm thinking about the BMI chart,
and you're right. You're right. Nobody's supposed to be fat.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Sorry. Shout out to fat listeners and the skinny listeners.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
They don't like fat.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Oh, the listeners of size.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
There you go. Listeners of size. There you go.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Morning, everybody.
Speaker 12 (03:43):
We are The Breakfast Club. That was 4-2-Doug. Skilla Baby's
going to be joining us next hour.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
What's up, Mimi?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
What's up?
Speaker 13 (03:50):
Good morning, everyone. How y'all doing this morning? Good morning.
So we started this morning in New York where a
woman is unfortunately dead after police say she randomly stabbed
two people in the middle of Times Square, killing one
of them. So police say the 49 year old woman,
she first attacked a 68 year old man who had
just gotten off the subway and was waiting for to
(04:13):
cross the street with his wife. Investigators say she pulled
out two knives from her bag and stabbed him in
the stomach. She then continued through Times Square where police
say she stabbed a 32-year-old woman also in the stomach. Now,
that woman later died. The man survived and he is
now in stable condition. Police say the woman then headed
(04:34):
toward the NYPD substation in Times Square, still armed with
both knives. Officers confronted her and repeatedly ordered her to
drop the weapons. Let's listen to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
Speaker 14 (04:47):
The officers engaged the woman in dialogue for four minutes
and gave her numerous commands to drop the knives, which
she refused. During the encounter, she told the officers, quote,
I'm not dropping anything. I would rather kill both of you.
The subject began waving the knives and advanced towards the officers.
(05:10):
Multiple officers discharged tasers, which proved to be ineffective, and
the subject continued to advance towards our officers with the knives.
Two officers then discharged their service weapons, striking the subject.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (05:29):
Um, police say she had a documented mental health history.
They do not believe this was connected to any terrorism.
The NYPD is now investigating the shooting and officials say
body camera video will eventually be released.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
It is interesting, right?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Because it always feels like there's a time of year
when you're driving through New York City and you see
a lot more mentally ill people than usual. Yeah, for sure.
It's like they open the door or something. I don't
know what it is, but there's always a season where
it seems like there's a lot more mentally ill people
walking down the street, yelling, screaming, and there's... What are
you supposed to do in that situation? She killed somebody.
She stabbed another person. Police tried to de-escalate it to
(06:06):
the best of their ability. What else were they.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Supposed to do?
Speaker 12 (06:09):
And I wonder if there are any police officers heading
to work this morning. And I know you've probably seen
the video. what would you do in that situation because
I see a lot of people saying they didn't have
to kill her right because when they shocked her she
was running towards them but she wasn't running fast it
wasn't like a it was like the run was like
an 80 year old woman running like anybody could have
went back but she did have two knobs yeah but
(06:30):
she did have two knobs in her hand but it
was just I swear she was running.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Like this.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
They could have moved out the way.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
So I'm just curious.
Speaker 12 (06:39):
I mean, they told her to put the knife down.
She was coming towards them, but she was mentally off.
You could tell she was mentally off. I'm just curious
if there's any police officers that's going to work this
morning or leaving work.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Listen, I thought about that, too. The first thing I thought, man,
they didn't have to kill her. And I still don't
think they had to kill her.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
But, I mean, when you.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Hear the cause and the effect and you hear the
whole circumstances that led to the shooting.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Hey, man. Yeah, I didn't see the video.
Speaker 12 (07:07):
Yeah, I'm not judging, but I'm just curious that if
another way would have been able to.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Right, to restrain her.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
She stabbed somebody.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
She did.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
She killed another person.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
She did.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
She got two bloody knives. She tells you she's going
to kill you. They're shocking her. They're trying to de-escalate her.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
No, I understand. I totally understand.
Speaker 12 (07:22):
I'm not saying that what they did wasn't justified, but
I'm just curious. because the way that she was coming
towards him it wasn't like aggressive like anybody could.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Have moved but it was after she had already taken
a light.
Speaker 12 (07:32):
I know my 80 year old mom could have moved
out the way like she was moving that slow so
I'm just curious I'm not saying it's justified I'm not
saying that the police were wrong I'm just saying you
said your 80 year old mom could have moved out
the way my 80 year old mom definitely would have
got out of that way did you see the lady
running towards him which one the one that was getting
tased No, I said my 80-year-old mother would have been
able to get out the way.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
To get away from her.
Speaker 12 (07:51):
Get away from the lady stabbing somebody. She was running
so slow. That's what I was saying.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (07:55):
I don't know. And moving on really quickly, for all
of our truck drivers listening this morning, there's another major
crackdown happening in your industry. So the Trump administration. is
going after commercial driver-licensed schools. It says are putting unqualified
drivers on the road. So Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says
more than 100 schools have now been shut down. Let's
(08:17):
listen really quickly.
Speaker 15 (08:19):
What we are announcing is an emergency executive shutdown of
110 driving schools. So these are driving schools that account
for 5,000 of the violations.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
For English proficiency.
Speaker 15 (08:37):
You have to speak English to operate a commercial motor vehicle.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I didn't create that rule. President Trump didn't create that rule.
Speaker 15 (08:44):
That rule has been in place for decades.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
We have schools that know.
Speaker 15 (08:48):
The rule and still pass people through their school who
can't speak the language.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
I did not know that.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
The reason why I know that is because of my husband,
but there.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Are a great number of truck.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
Drivers in Mexico who speaks English and not Spanish.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
He don't speak Spanish?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
No, he does not. He's black first.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
Now listen, there are a wide number of drivers who
do not speak English and they can't read the signs.
A lot of them don't even know not to go
under bridges that are lower than their truck.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 13 (09:19):
And that's the point right there, Jess. That's the point
right there. Duffy says that they've also shut down another
160 driving schools for violations, including having unlicensed instructors. So therefore,
you would have a teacher who's not even licensed teaching
another driver how to get their license.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
And so.
Speaker 13 (09:36):
They said that they shut down those 160 schools. But,
you know, having these many truck drivers not on the
road will impact all of us. They said about 26,000
commercial truck drivers have been taken off the road. So that,
you know, someone bringing your groceries, your packages, the gas
headed to your local station, you know, at some point
(09:56):
we will feel some of this.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
It definitely hurts the industry. for sure.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
And then it messes up all the legit schools and
all the, you know, all the drivers who can speak
English and, you know, who are bilingual and trilingual and
all those things.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
It's bad.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
You can tell what you and Crispin Pillow talking about.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Damn, that's crazy. I happened to know this before Mimi
spoke this, so shut up.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Crisp's like, yeah, man, you know... My cousin, Alexaron. What's
his name? Alexaron? Alexaron.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
What is that?
Speaker 10 (10:23):
Alvarado.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
You should have said Alejandro. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
You do have a cousin named Alvarado who drives trucks.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
See?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
He can't speak English.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
In Mexico, though, so shut up. He don't need to
speak English, so shut up. All right, y'all.
Speaker 13 (10:35):
Well, coming up at 7, one man is back behind bars.
And wait until you hear what keeps getting him arrested.
We're going to talk about it in the next hour.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
How you doing?
Speaker 7 (12:31):
I'm good.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Shut up.
Speaker 9 (12:33):
I am blessed, black, and highly favored.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
How are you guys this morning? I'm good.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Get it off your chest, brother.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Okay, listen.
Speaker 9 (12:39):
I'm annoyed this morning because I'm seeing all this coverage
with Vlad and Drink Champs. Sean, let me ask you
a question. Is Drink Champs still a part of.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Black Effect Network? Yes, sir.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 9 (12:53):
Okay, I'm having a problem with Black running his mouth
all over Nori and Drink Champs, stating a whole bunch
of unfounded information that I feel like if he's not
a part of Black Effect, he has no idea what
he's talking about. And I'm at this point now, I'm
getting annoyed with this guy because he thinks he's got
(13:15):
some cachet. because of this whole thing with the Tupac
thing and the Keefie D interview, and now the Keefie
D is going to sound guilty.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
He feels like he's invited.
Speaker 9 (13:25):
To the cookout forever, and I'm straight up annoyed with
this guy. He's really coming off as a culture vulture.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
At this point. I'm really annoyed with this dude. I
hope it's covered with Lauren.
Speaker 9 (13:38):
LaRosa in her news breakdown today. Maybe even Doc here today.
Maybe take it to Breakfast Club Court.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
But something needs to be said about.
Speaker 9 (13:50):
What's going on here between Vlad and Norrie because I
feel like he's running his mouth crazy.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
No, he did.
Speaker 9 (13:58):
But he did in terms of refusing the interview. But
it's gone too far now. Somebody's got to step in
and call this nonsense out.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Somebody's got to step in.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
Shaw, I hope it's you.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
If not, take it to breakfast club court or something.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (14:12):
Somebody needs to step in here.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Because this is getting ridiculous now.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Because drink champs. is a part of the culture for.
Speaker 9 (14:20):
Real, for real. He's only hot because of these outlandish
energies that he gets with these wild rappers.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
And celebrities or whatever, but... I'm sorry. I feel like
a side needs to be chosen at this point because
this is noise. This is Drink Champs. This is history.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
He's got way more cachet in the culture than Vlad
can ever have.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
That's just my thought.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
We respect your opinion. Drink Champs is a very successful podcast.
Vlad TV is a very successful podcast. you know a
platform as well and i hope that you know both
of them can work out whatever differences they're having.
Speaker 12 (14:56):
I don't even know what the hell is going on
but i will say this though they are both part
of the culture right you know just because vlad is
white doesn't make it not part of the culture vlad
started off as a dj did the mixtape game and
i was doing the mixtape game a long time.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Ago so I hope both of them work it out.
I'm going to be honest. I just don't like the
way we talk to each other.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
What the hell happened?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I don't even know what happened. We be talking crazy
to each other. And it's like... I just don't like
the way we talk to each other.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Like black people.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
No, just those individuals.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Oh, they ain't going back and forth.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
I don't like it. I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
It's like calling each other out the name and all
of that because that.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
To me, only can lead to one thing.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
And I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
And I think that sometimes we think that because we're
adults that there's not consequences involved.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
To our actions.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
They're not consequences to our words just because it hasn't happened.
Just because you ain't gotten to a fight in a
long time don't mean that it can't happen.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I just don't like the energy.
Speaker 12 (15:56):
But I also feel like It's the clicks and likes
which make people get more and more disrespectful, right?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
You know what I mean? Because you're not going to
say that in somebody's face, right?
Speaker 12 (16:04):
If y'all are crossing each other, there's no way, however
far you want.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
To go, you're not going to say that in somebody's face.
It's not going to happen. It's not going to happen.
I really don't know what happened.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I just hope they work it out. I hope they
figure it out.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I hope so, too.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Get it off your chest.
Speaker 5 (16:16):

Happy birthday, sis.
Speaker 9 (16:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (16:51):
We haven't talked since... December 25th, our great-grandmother passed away.
Speaker 10 (16:56):
She was 101. Some things happened, and we haven't talked
since then, but I love my sister to death.
Speaker 16 (17:03):
She's my older sister.
Speaker 10 (17:04):
I want to shout out happy birthday. And put Tanisha
out there, so maybe I could take her to bingo
or something.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Bingo?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
It cost to go to bingo?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
She said she 55. In 2026, it's probably $ 20.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
55 is young.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
I know, but she probably like bingo.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
It cost to go to bingo?
Speaker 5 (17:21):
How much is it?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah, you got to pay to get in because that's
how you get the prizes, right?
Speaker 16 (17:25):
Yeah, that's how you have to pay to get in.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Go out to church.
Speaker 10 (17:30):
You win big prizes, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Who charging for bingo? Where are you going that they
charging for bingo?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
The government.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
You got to charge for bingo.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
24th and Florence.
Speaker 10 (17:40):
We worked in Florence. My mom used to do it
back in the day. She passed away, so it's something
we keep for our birthdays. Right now, I can't afford
to take her.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I'd love to take her.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Y'all should be doing some bring your own whatever. Bring
your own food, alcohol. They shouldn't be charging nobody for
no damn bingo.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Go ahead. Put your cash app out there. I said
they win the prizes, though.
Speaker 13 (18:01):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
If we win. They got bingo at casinos now, too.
Go ahead, Mama. Put your cash app out there.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Belly, B-E-L-L-Y.
Speaker 10 (18:11):
M-B-A is Deli Number.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Okay, Mama.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
And you guys, what's up?
Speaker 16 (18:19):
Hopefully, Charlamagne, I was hoping to see you type it
in so you can help me out.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I'm watching on Netflix, too. This is a different type
of thing.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Deli Number. Deli Number.
Speaker 10 (18:31):
See, my son is the rapper, so he's Deli Number 5.
But I'm Mama, so I'm Deli Number.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
No, I'm not contributing to somebody's mixtape.
Speaker 10 (18:39):
No, you're not. My name is Monique Flowers, and I
stayed up so I can wish my sister happy birthday.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Did she get a number?
Speaker 10 (18:45):
And to see you guys on Netflix.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
No, that's the name of it. It's Cash App.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Her Cash App is whatever that is.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Her Cash App sign, Z-E-L-L-Y-N-E-N-T-R.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Oh, I thought she was saying she had a Zell. Z-E-L-L-Y-N-T-R. No, Zelly.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
Zelly number is the Cash App.
Speaker 10 (19:00):
Zelly, yeah. Because my name is Monique Flowers.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
I'm going to be honest with you. My spirit ain't moved. Yeah, absolutely.
My discernment says no. And you know.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Because she said she wanted to take her sister to
play bingo, honey.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
After she took the direct shot, like she just put
out there and then Charlamagne didn't respond. She's like, no, Charlam,
I'm talking to you.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
No, that's not a direct shot. She hears the thing
about me. I don't just give money just because. If
you see me giving money, it's because... God said, you know,
bless that individual.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
And your move. Yes.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Your move.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
That didn't move me at all.
Speaker 8 (19:30):
Well, she thought she was going to get us when
her grandmother died in December and her sister not talking
to her. And it's her birthday today and she wanted
to take her to bingo because it's $ 20 to get
in and she turned 55.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
That's what happened?
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Damn, I ain't hear a letter. All I heard was bingo.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Oh, you heard what it was.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
This is her grandmother past.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
But I'm going to choose.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Some things move you and you feel like it.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
Right.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
That's crazy. Don't ever look at me typing. To see
if I'm typing your cash in.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
And I'm always typing something.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
She said, I thought Charlamagne was going to pull his
phone out and type it in. I'm waiting for you
to type in Charlamagne.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
So you can send me something.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Not for bingo. Not for bingo.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Not even bingo. God just didn't move me. Nah, for
me it.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Wasn't for bingo.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Because it ain't for bingo.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
If you needed some food, you needed help with some bills,
I get it.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I do everything through the Spirit. You know, sometimes it
might be bills and God don't move me.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
That's right. Because it might be your fault that you
couldn't pay this month.
Speaker 10 (20:16):
Something.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
It's up to you.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Not for bingo.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
It's on your spirit.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I just want to let y'all know.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
I did not know it cost money to get bingo.
Speaker 12 (20:22):
If you charge $ 20 to get in for bingo, then
let's say bingo makes $ 3, 000, $ 4, 000, and they give it
back to the people.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
That's how you win the prize.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Goddamn bingo game, $ 4, 000. You don't win $ 1, 000, $ 4, 000.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
You might win $ 100 a game, $ 400 a game, $ 200
a game. Why do you think all them old people
were always there?
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Now I know. I thought they just liked to be around. Yeah,
they want to be around each other.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
And they got big old casinos now, too, so you
can go to a casino and play bingo.
Speaker 8 (20:43):
But obviously, if this is true, the pot gets bigger
the more people that come, the pot is bigger to win.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
So that's what's up.
Speaker 10 (20:49):
All right.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Get it off your chest.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
800-585-1051.
Speaker 12 (20:51):
Now, we got the latest for Lauren coming up.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
A lot to talk about. A lot of court news.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Yeah, we do. Good morning, y'all.
Speaker 13 (20:58):
Hey, girl.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Hey.
Speaker 17 (20:59):
Yeah, so, well, 30 years later, we finally, well, possibly
finally have some closure for the family of Tupac because
there was a verdict announced yesterday in that trial. I
heard you mention Dirk this morning as well. So, we
got a lot that we're going to cover this morning.
We're going to get into some updates.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
All right.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
We'll get to that next.
Speaker 5 (21:13):
So, don't move.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
It's The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
What you want to know? This is with Lauren LaRosa.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Because you particularly are bringing the energy to mainstream radio,
the black radio.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
That source is trusting.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Did you hear that exclusive?
Speaker 17 (21:24):
Lauren, I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about
everything and everything.
Speaker 4 (21:28):
She be having the latest on things.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
You ask the questions that need to be answered.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
On The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 5 (21:33):
If little brown girls look at you and go, I
want to be like you.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
LL Cool B. Talk to me.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Good morning, guys.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
What's up, Laura?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
All right.
Speaker 17 (21:41):
Hey, so, okay, let's head over to Vegas. The Tupac
murder trial has been going down. This is 30 years
later after, you know, the killing of Tupac. And there
was a verdict yesterday.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Keefie D., Dwayne Keefie D.
Speaker 17 (21:56):
Davis, was found guilty of plotting the drive-by shooting that
killed Tupac. He was convicted of murder with a deadly
weapon with the intent to promote and further assist a
criminal gang. So he now faces the possibility of spending
the rest of his life behind bars At 63 years old. Now,
they you could yesterday when they were doing the closing statements,
you could watch it live. And there was a moment
(22:16):
there's no audio to hear because you can't hear her.
But there was a moment where Tupac's sister, the camera
pans to her as they're reading the guilty verdict. And
she reaches back and holds like another family member's hand.
There's a reporter. There was a reporter inside the courtroom
that is reporting that, like, you know, she was crying
softly and it was very emotional.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
For the family.
Speaker 17 (22:33):
But prosecutors argued that Kifidi planned the shooting after Tupac's
entourage attacked his nephew, a few hours earlier at the
MGM Grand in Vegas following that Tyson fight.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
So we've heard this story.
Speaker 17 (22:46):
But what they point to specifically is the book that
Keefie D wrote.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
What they point to.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Is Keefie D telling everybody that he was involved in
the murder of Tupac Shakur.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
He deserved that one. He earned it.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
He definitely earned that one. He earned every bit of this.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
He deserved that one.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
He worked for it. He actually went out there and
worked hard for it.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
It took a long time, too.
Speaker 17 (23:06):
No, but look, they say, so it was the book.
Then you got their different interviews that they pointed to
throughout the trial. But then they said that in 2008,
when they were investigating the death of Biggie, right, they
went to him to ask some questions because he was
connected in some way to that.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Right.
Speaker 17 (23:22):
And when they're asking him questions, he began telling them
about details of Tupac's shooting that they say only someone
who was in that white car would have been able
to describe that. But they say over the years, things
did change with his stories. Like it wasn't as consistent,
but it was because he started trying to protect himself eventually,
but it was too late.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
He did a book.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Multiple interviews.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
You appear in a TV documentary. You do a book
where you openly talk about orchestrating the shooting and supplying
the gun. You did numerous Vlad TV interviews as well
as podcasts.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Like, what are we talking about?
Speaker 7 (23:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
He earned that one. He deserved that one.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
He got it.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
He wanted it.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
He got it.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Did he do that interview under what they call it?
A proffer agreement?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Where they said that law enforcement promised him his statements
couldn't be directly used against him in court.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Surprise! Psych!
Speaker 5 (24:08):
He didn't know that it could be used in a
state trial. He had it all wrong. Yeah, that's when
they was asking him about the Biggie stuff. I don't know.
This man is crazy.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
He earned every bit of this.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
At the end of the trial, I don't know if
you've seen, did you hear what he was like? He
was like, all right, well, Your Honor, can I have
my stuff back? Can I have my laptop back and
my phone back? And I want to appeal.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
We like... What?
Speaker 5 (24:28):
What did he think the end game was going to be?
I mean, like, what did he expect?
Speaker 17 (24:33):
Well, on his side of it, they're basically arguing that, like,
the accounts and the things that he was saying doesn't
make him responsible for things. But when they were in
the trial, they were talking about, like, all the stuff
that they found in his house. Like it was low key,
like a shrine. Like he kept certain receipts. Like it
was just weird. He literally did it to himself. Um,
but do you guys think, I mean, it's all these
(24:54):
years later, but do you guys think that this finally
does give a Tupac's family a sense of peace?
Speaker 12 (25:00):
I mean, you would have to ask. Three people in
the car that was in the car that night are dead.
And now Keefie D is in jail.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
I mean, I'm sure.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Nothing brings your loved one back.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Yeah, nothing at all. Even all these years later.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Because all you think about is what his life would
have been like the past 30 years. And you're constantly
reminded of him because he's such an iconic figure.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
So you'll never truly have, you know, peace.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
Yes.
Speaker 10 (25:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 17 (25:25):
Well, over on the West Coast to Dirk and that
trial also going down. I saw Dirk's dad. First of all,
outside of the court yesterday was just mayhem. I mean,
as it always has been. But yesterday seemed like just
a lot. But I saw Dirk's dad yesterday just asking for,
you know, prayers for Dirk as, you know, certain parts
of the case begin to rest their case. But one
of the things I was thinking about, I saw like
(25:46):
Dirk's assistant testified against him. And, you know, we have
all the other OTF members that were testifying against him
as well. But one of the things I was thinking
about was at this point, I mean, Charlamagne, you brought
this up, like how do they trust these people that
are on the stand, right? But if this is their
full case, right? And then they have these text messages
and these conversations that Brian Steele was like, blowing up
(26:07):
on the stand. What else is there to kind of
like hold dirt to at this point? Like, do you
guys think that he will walk away from this? Cause
in the beginning I didn't.
Speaker 12 (26:16):
Well, that's what law enforcement does, right? That's what their
job is. Their job is to take down the quote
unquote big fish, right? And, If it means turning people
that committed the crime, we've seen it with the mob
numerous times.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Now we're seeing it with this. Yesterday was his assistant.
Speaker 12 (26:29):
Assistant, you know, people have been saying that it's been
very damaging because he said that, you know, everything was
done because Dirk was the person.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
That said, do it.
Speaker 9 (26:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
That's what all of them have been saying, though.
Speaker 13 (26:39):
Right.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
But I don't think the assistant was necessarily a gang member.
He wasn't a tough guy.
Speaker 12 (26:44):
He was just a fan that became, I would assume,
an assistant.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 17 (26:48):
But I guess my point is, is like, you know, if...
The witnesses and the people on the scene are all
that you have and nothing to corroborate with their.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
No evidence, no actual hard evidence?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
I mean, they're bringing evidence, but.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
How do you know they don't have no evidence? I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
No, they do. Like, they've been bringing text messages in.
They've been, like, phone calls. They've been.
Speaker 17 (27:06):
They have been bringing evidence, but Dirk's team has been
doing a good job, in my opinion, of kind of, like,
destroying all the evidence that they're bringing, like, pointing out inconsistencies.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
There was, like, yesterday, I saw.
Speaker 17 (27:19):
Drew Finland, like his closing statement was like, one of
the people that was on the stand, he was, they,
they go through this whole thing about how Dirk is
this horrible person and Dirk, uh, paid for the murder
and all these things. But then at the end of it,
he's like, but then you took four of your family
members to go see him in concert.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
You know what I'm saying? So it's like, it's, It's
rocking back and forth. It's like a bit of a
reach with the evidence that they had.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
I wouldn't say it's a reach.
Speaker 17 (27:41):
I guess my question is, in the beginning of this,
I didn't think that Dirk would make it out of
this at all.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Now it's starting to change.
Speaker 17 (27:48):
I know we're only a few weeks in, but I
guess I'm asking, what else do they bring?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
How do they position it now?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
The worst thing about these cases, especially when you're just
watching the way that we're watching... You see the prosecutor
one day and you're like, I agree with them. Then
you see the defense one day and you're like, I
agree with them. Thank God none of us are on
the jury. Because it's the jury. The jury has to
sit there and listen to all the evidence, listen to
all the testimony, and then decide.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
We're not invested like that.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
We're not.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
We're just not.
Speaker 12 (28:17):
Even the gentleman that got killed, what the case is
all about, you just think about his family as well.
They said he was an innocent bystander, had nothing to
do with the beef.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Rondo's cousin.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, his cousin.
Speaker 12 (28:27):
They had nothing to do with the beef, but This
case became more about less about finding out what happened
and getting in more about trying to take Dirk out
for murder for hire.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
You know what I mean? So I know it must
hurt the family as well.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Both families.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Both families.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
That's another thing, too. I don't know.
Speaker 17 (28:43):
But yeah, that's the latest for the hour. And the
next latest, we're going to head on over to Gary, Indiana,
with some really good news, because Beyonce is helping out
the people there.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
So we're going to bring it up.
Speaker 12 (28:53):
All right, we'll get to that next. We have front
page news. And then don't forget, Skilla Baby will be
joining us.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
So don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (28:59):

Speaker 13 (29:10):
Good morning, Envy, Jess, Charlamagne. How y'all doing this hour?
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Peace, Mimi.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Hey, girl.
Speaker 10 (29:14):
Hey.
Speaker 13 (29:15):
Hey, girl. Okay, so let me start this hour with
a story out of the DMV, well, the DMV area.
That's where a Virginia man has been convicted of murder
after opening fire on a group of teenagers who were
running through his neighborhood after a ding-dong ditch prank. So
the jury found Tyler Butler guilty of second degree murder
(29:36):
in the shooting of 18 year old Michael Bosworth Jr.
And the shooting happened around three in the morning. Now,
this happened last May, but he was just sentenced earlier
this week. Bosworth and his two friends, they have been
kicking and banging on a neighbor's garage door and then
running away as part of the prank. Then they realized
the police had been called. The teenagers took off. They
(29:59):
cut through the backyards, eventually climbing over a fence onto
Butler's property. Now, doorbell camera video played for the jury.
It shows Butler coming outside and firing 10 rounds. You
can see the boys running away. They're kind of banging
on the garage. And then here comes Butler. He fires
(30:19):
10 shots. His father says that he believes that he
said that his son believed that someone was trying to
break into their home and was protecting their family that night.
Let's listen to the father.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
He was waking out of his sleep.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
He didn't invite this behavior to our home.
Speaker 12 (30:35):
So here he is sitting incarcerated for protecting his own
life and his mom's life.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
And it's unjust.
Speaker 11 (30:42):
I just think it's unjust.
Speaker 12 (30:44):
I believe if he was other than a black man,
he probably wouldn't have been charged.
Speaker 10 (30:50):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
It's very unfortunate, right?
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Because you got a bunch of these pranks and they're
getting worse. And, you know, we see it every day
on the Internet. Like people are just they don't have
any respect.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
You know what I mean? I'm not justifying that this
man killed this teenager. He killed all three of them
or just.
Speaker 13 (31:08):
No, so one teenager was shot in the back and
he died. Another teenager was shot in the back, but
he survived and one got away.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
I think that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
The problem was that they was running away. Yeah. What
do they call it in Jersey? The castle law? What
is it? You can't shoot somebody in the back.
Speaker 12 (31:25):
When they're fleeing, you can't shoot them when they're fleeing.
Because they're no longer a threat. I don't know if
that's just the same in Virginia, though.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Yeah, probably not.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
But I think that's probably what it is, the fact
that they were running away.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
It's very, very sad.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
And kids should just refrain from doing these pranks that
does not involve people. It involves people you don't know.
Three o'clock in the morning, why you don't got your
ass in the.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
House, bro?
Speaker 4 (31:48):
And don't play with nobody's home.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
If you sleep, people's nerves be bad. Your anxiety already
through the roof. You hear all these stories about home
invasions and everything else. Don't play with somebody's house like that.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
So sad.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Don't do that.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
And the sad thing is I understand, right?
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Right.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
I totally understand. You're at your house.
Speaker 12 (32:06):
Somebody comes to your house, whether they're fleeing or not,
the first thing you're thinking is somebody's trying to rob me.
What's going to make them? How do I know they're
not going to come back?
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Come back, right.
Speaker 12 (32:14):
So you're trying to eliminate the problem, right? But then
you also know that we all have been kids before.
We've all done stupid-ish before.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
But you don't know that they're kids anymore. Y'all be young.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
And you don't know that. Why do you keep saying y'all? Him, me.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
You're talking in hindsight. You don't know that these are kids. Exactly.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
And you don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
When you hear late night prank, I'm just thinking it'd
be some kiddish.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Because you're hearing it after the fact. Think about laying
in your bed at three in the morning and you
just hear bang, bang, bang.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
You don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
And you see three boys.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I'm not saying that he knew it. I'm saying that these.
Speaker 12 (32:42):
Kids are stupid because we've all done stupid-ish before, right? So,
you know kids do stupid pranks. Like, we've all done
stupid pranks before, right? Stupid things to neighbors. Throw eggs
at neighbors' house and, you know, stupid stuff like that
at Halloween.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Stupid-ish. Ring bells and run, but.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
I ain't never did that type of stuff, man.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
3 o'clock in the morning with two of my homies.
Speaker 8 (33:01):
It's like, yo, there's too much going on for you
to be doing that.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
There was a lot happening.
Speaker 13 (33:06):
There was a lot. So he argued that he was
protecting his home and he acted in self-defense. The jury
rejected that argument and they convicted him of second-degree murder,
attempted second-degree murder, malicious wounding, and several firearm charges. He
is scheduled to be sentenced on October 30th.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
God damn, yo.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
I need to get back to tipping cows.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
Like something like that.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 8 (33:29):
Yes, that's what I did when I was in high school.
I tipped cows and I stole drugs and all that.
You tipped a cow before, Jess?
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Yes, I did.
Speaker 13 (33:37):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
And really quickly, y'all.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Sorry, I was.
Speaker 13 (33:41):
There's a story out of Southern California that I have
to tell you guys. So right here in L.A., there's
a serial butt sniffer.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
We don't have no more time.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
Maybe we got to wrap it up.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Not a serial butt sniffer. A serial butt sniffer, you guys.
You got to kill the baby coming.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
In, Mimi.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Go ahead, Mimi.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Thank you. Okay, wait.
Speaker 13 (34:01):
He's been arrested again. So the police say this 39-year-old,
Khalees Crowder, he was spotted inside two different stores last week.
He was crouching down, appearing to be what police call it,
sniffing someone out. And this is not the first time. Apparently,
this man is a registered sex offender who's been arrested
for similar behavior. One woman caught him. She reported him
and caught him and filmed him on TikTok. She says that,
(34:25):
you know, once she put it on TikTok, apparently a
lot of people came out saying that this has happened
to them. He claimed he was tying his shoes when
she caught him. And now he's He has been tracked
down again and arrested. And he is behind bars this morning.
But apparently this is a thing that has been happening
over a period of time out here.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
I'm giving him donkey of the day a couple times.
So he got arrested again.
Speaker 13 (34:45):
Yeah, he got arrested again. He needs to stay.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
In jail so he can sniff all the butts he wants.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
I was going to say he can have all the
butt he wanted, man.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
He might not like male butt. You know what I mean?
That's the thing.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
He don't got no choice now.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
Oh, I know he would love your ass 10 years ago.
Speaker 6 (34:58):
Stinky ass.
Speaker 13 (35:00):
All right, y'all. Well, that is your front page news.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
That's the butt he needed to sniff. Right.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
He would have sniffed Envy's butt when Envy wasn't washing
his ass. He would have never sniffed another butt. He
would have stopped.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
That's the problem.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
It wasn't 10 years ago.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
Turn him straight.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Stand him straight. Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Thank you, Mimi.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
When we come back, Skillet Baby will be joining us.
I hate y'all. It's The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (35:20):

His new album, The Price of Fame, is out right now.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
Skillababy.
Speaker 11 (35:32):
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (35:33):
How you doing?
Speaker 4 (35:33):
How y'all doing? How you feeling, man? How's your energy
this morning?
Speaker 5 (35:36):
I'm good.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
All right.
Speaker 11 (35:38):
Are you looking at.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
Me right now? Yeah, what's going on? Something else is
coming after.
Speaker 4 (35:42):
There's nothing else coming. I'm asking the brother how he feel.
Speaker 5 (35:44):
He's ready.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
He don't go. I don't go? No, I'm good.
Speaker 11 (35:48):
Chilling?
Speaker 4 (35:48):
Okay. I'm chilling. I saw some of your conversation with
Pretty V.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
And I see that you're on, I would say, a.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Spiritual journey, a journey of doing the work on yourself,
which I respect and appreciate.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
Appreciate you. What got you on that pathway?
Speaker 11 (36:02):
I just feel like I'm supposed to be obedient right now,
so I can't really answer why. I don't ask God why.
I just feel like I should be obedient right now.
Speaker 9 (36:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
When did you realize that he was talking to you? Like,
what was that moment?
Speaker 11 (36:16):
I don't think I have a moment. I think I
have multiple moments. God will be sending me signs and
I won't pay attention to them until after something wrong
had happened or my downfall or something like that.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
And I feel like.
Speaker 11 (36:28):
I just wasn't being obedient in the moment. And I
feel like now it's like, don't ask God why, just
do it.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
The album is called The Price of Fame, right?
Speaker 1 (36:37):
So what's something fame cost you that you didn't even
know you were going to have to pay for?
Speaker 11 (36:41):
Fame cost me my childhood. Just being young, wanting to
do fun stuff. My neighborhood, like, my comfortability. I had
to move, do stuff like that. Like, it be a
little stuff that people don't really notice that. It's just really,
fame was my word for success. I wanted my album
to be, like, recognizable to, like, the average person.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
I saw you said that.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
Yeah, you said that.
Speaker 11 (37:05):
I think, like, success, just chasing success just cost me
a lot. My friendships with people... Like I said, comfortability,
like everything for real, all the little stuff. Like I
don't even, I'm family oriented, but I don't have kids
or anything because I want to dedicate my life to
my kids when I have them. But like chasing success,
that could just.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
Be a lot.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
You've talked about you want this album to be like
healing for people.
Speaker 17 (37:29):
Do you feel like you were healed from some of
the things that you were maybe trying to escape or
like trying to figure out at this point and now
you want to pass it on?
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Or are you still figuring a lot of that out
for yourself?
Speaker 11 (37:37):
I think I'm still healing. I think I'm healed from
a lot of stuff, but I think I'm still healing.
But I think you never really heal from certain things.
And I had to mature enough to really realize that.
I ain't going to never heal from that. You know
what I'm saying?
Speaker 4 (37:51):
But I feel like the album helped me.
Speaker 11 (37:53):
I think it helped me like little stuff. I'm from
the ghetto, so I handle stuff a certain way. And
I feel like just doing this album and getting close
with God, it helped me get stronger as a person.
Because it's so easy for me to go do something.
him like some bull like you know but it was
hard for me to walk away from certain things and
certain lifestyles and everything because it's fun too.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
I saw you say too that you were trying to
present yourself as bigger than life but now you realize
relatability is more powerful so what were you hiding behind
that larger than life version of.
Speaker 11 (38:26):
Skilla I think just where I come from like Detroit
is a real flashy city and you get caught up
in big chains big houses big cars hood stuff like
Just traveling and doing the work and studying people's albums
and great people. I started figuring out that the hood
is a small demographic of people. There's more people that's
(38:48):
not doing good than doing good. That's why they call
them the one percenters or whatever they call them. It's
okay to be vulnerable. I used to think like, yeah,
I got to mask everything I'm going through and put
it into some diamonds. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 9 (39:02):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 11 (39:03):
So I bought three Richard Millies, do all that type
of stuff. And it's like, it's not really high on
what I'm going through because money can't really, it can
mask it, but it can't.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
Really make it go away.
Speaker 11 (39:13):
Like I made a lot of money and it never
made what I really felt going away, go away.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (39:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
It's retail therapy. It's the same reason people escape by
drinking alcohol or doing drugs.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
You're just doing retail therapy.
Speaker 11 (39:27):
That's all.
Speaker 8 (39:28):
Now, you said you're a soldier, right? But people don't
actually see what's underneath all of that. Was there a
person that you ever showed that side of you?
Speaker 4 (39:37):
Like, far as what?
Speaker 5 (39:39):
Not the soldier. What's underneath the soldier? No, I don't
really be doing that.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
Even for a woman?
Speaker 11 (39:44):
Nope.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
Not the way your anthems for the ladies be going. Right.
Speaker 11 (39:48):
That's how I really feel, though. But I was raised
to be a protector and a provider. And my dad
was born in 1946. So he was from Mississippi. He
went to jail. So I always had a structured life.
I had to get up. Even if it's the weekend,
I can't sleep past 8 a.m. I got to make
my bed. So everything's structured for me. So I don't
really know how to be vulnerable with people. Like, I
(40:11):
talk to my manager, Rocky, sometimes. And we be talking
about what we go through and stuff. But it don't
be like break down and cry like, We be trying
to see how we gonna push through it. So I
don't really just be like, cry me a river. I
can't do that.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
I don't know how.
Speaker 5 (40:25):
But what about Nas EP'd this album, right?
Speaker 6 (40:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
So you got Nas EP in the album. I know
you close to 50.
Speaker 17 (40:30):
Like, they've been through some real stuff and they're also, now,
I mean, they got success levels that I'm sure you see.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
You don't, not even with them?
Speaker 11 (40:37):
We talk about it, but you know what? When we
talk about trauma, we laugh. Like, we don't be trying
to dwell on it. We be like, yeah, we went
through that, but look where we're going. We don't be
on some Yeah, we got to dwell on this. It
might feel like a therapy session, but it's like everything
we say is positive. Even when I go through negative stuff,
I don't ask God why. I feel like my God
(41:00):
don't make mistakes. So I feel like, all right, I'm
going to push through it. Even when I got shot,
I was like, all right, I understand where I come from.
I understand my circumstances. I understand where I'm going. And
that was yesterday.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
You got shot last summer, right?
Speaker 7 (41:15):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
I think I read that you got shot three times
and they shot at the car like 20 something.
Speaker 11 (41:20):
Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
Damn.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
When something like that happens, everybody will be like, are
you good? But they mean physically. But how did that
impact you mentally? Mentally, it just put me in a
spot where I was dark. I was dark for a minute.
Speaker 11 (41:34):
And that's when I really, my faith started getting, I
tested my faith the most.
Speaker 4 (41:38):
Because I was.
Speaker 11 (41:38):
Dark and I really was going to get myself in trouble.
You know, because I just felt evil. But that's when
my faith was tested the most. And I feel like,
am I going to be obedient to myself or be
obedient to God? And I feel like that was when
my faith was tested. Like, one of the times my
faith was tested the most. Because I felt humiliated. I
felt broken. I felt let down. I felt like I
(42:02):
let myself down, all that type of stuff. Why do
you feel like you let yourself down? And why do
you feel humiliated? Because I know better.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
Oh, you mean the way you was moving?
Speaker 11 (42:10):
Yeah, like I know better. But I felt like in
the moments, like I'm bigger than the program, like, you know?
And I let myself down because I know it could happen.
I know what I be into. I know, like I said,
my surroundings, where I come from, and I know better.
That's how I let myself down because it's like, I
almost let my family down. Like, I could have died.
(42:32):
You know what I'm saying? I almost let my mama down. Like,
if something happened to me, their lifestyle changes drastically. You
know what I'm saying? We everything to each other. Even
if their lifestyle don't change, I'm almost... My mama take
pride in she want to leave before I leave.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (42:50):
And if I.
Speaker 11 (42:51):
like F that up then that's really me letting her
down and that's that's me letting God down that's me
letting a lot of people down because I feel that
life but some stuff I could have avoided you know what.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Was it just being being at the wrong place wrong
time like you didn't have to be there gotcha gotcha.
Speaker 11 (43:07):
You know what I'm saying like wrong place wrong time
wrong neighborhoods you know what I'm saying like you just
certain stuff you don't do when you do what I
do like and I had to understand that I always
be trying to act like I'm a normal person and
stuff but My career is not normal.
Speaker 5 (43:23):
Unlearning.
Speaker 13 (43:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
With all that good sense you got, I read that
you went back to the streets after being shot.
Speaker 11 (43:28):
You read what? Like, I went back to the streets
and did what?
Speaker 4 (43:31):
You just went back out there, like, days after being shot?
Speaker 11 (43:34):
But I did a concert.
Speaker 4 (43:35):
Oh, it was a concert.
Speaker 5 (43:36):
It was, like, two days after, right? Oh, okay, okay, okay.
But remember, that was reported, though. Like, he was, like,
he was on stage, like, a few days later. Yeah,
there was a s * * * out, too.
Speaker 17 (43:45):
That you did yeah you did the freestyle after where
you like talked about the shooting I remember that oh the.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
Way the way it was received to me I thought
you was just out there like you just went out
there to show people like I just stood yeah like
not stood but show.
Speaker 11 (43:54):
People I ain't scared nah nah I'm not slow I
ain't slow word nah I ain't slow so it was
a concert Yeah, it was a 4-2-Dubz concert.
Speaker 4 (44:07):
I just came out two days later.
Speaker 5 (44:09):
Yeah, because I remember calling you Bob Marley.
Speaker 11 (44:11):
I was like, oh, this is not like Bob Marley.
Because remember, he got shot.
Speaker 3 (44:14):
That s * * * went out there.
Speaker 5 (44:15):
It was performing again. Like, nothing ever happened, you know.
But nothing could keep him down.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
Why was that important for you to do?
Speaker 11 (44:21):
Because I don't want people to feel sorry for me.
I don't be on that. Also, like, I hate to
keep using this word. I don't like people feeling like
I'm weak in this situation. I always want to show.
And I got people... that's like little kids look up
to me all type of stuff so if i'm just
sitting in the hospital letting everybody think i'm i'm dead
(44:42):
or stuff like that that's selfish that's just me trying
to have people feel bad and get pity for what
like when i could show strength i could show perseverance
i could show all type of stuff.
Speaker 5 (44:52):
It's just that people care yeah for sure love you
you was in a sling like yeah we were sad
up here you look.
Speaker 1 (44:59):
Stronger on pretty v show letting everybody know that you
dealing with mental health issues right now letting everybody know
you not feeling your best right now that when I
see that I see a young man with.
Speaker 11 (45:11):
Scrimp when I see that have you ever been shot
no so if you ever God forbid but if you
ever get shot you gonna understand the emotions that come
through your body like it's not just one emotion you
be sad you be mad you be like happy you
made it through it you be it's everything rushing at
you at once so it If you ever notice somebody
(45:32):
that been shot, either turn them up or put them up. Like,
they either going to go in the house and hide
or they going to do something that's very drastic and
be like, oh, yeah, I'm better than that. You know
what I'm saying? It be different ways. It might be positive.
It might be negative. But either turn you down or
turn you up every time. If you ask anybody that
ever been shot.
Speaker 5 (45:51):
They'll tell you that.
Speaker 4 (45:52):
What do you think it did for you?
Speaker 11 (45:53):
I feel like it turned me up in a negative
way than a positive way. I had to. It tested
my strength and, like, Not, like, physically, like, spiritually, emotionally.
My emotions was higher than ever. Like, I've been shot
on two different occasions. First time, it made me more
of a gangster. But I was 23 years old. Second time,
(46:14):
it just made me reflect on life.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
Like, why?
Speaker 11 (46:16):
What's my purpose? Am I supposed to be a leader?
Am I supposed to be here?
Speaker 4 (46:21):
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 11 (46:22):
It just made me reflect on different things that I
was going through. Because getting shot wasn't a problem. It
was getting shot at a time where I felt like
I wasn't in the right space in my career. I
was going through it with females. I was going through
it with family. All these emotions was going through me
at once. And it wasn't even about getting shot. It
was like, man, this is the worst time I could
(46:44):
ever get shot. I had just took a loss.
Speaker 4 (46:46):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 11 (46:47):
So it was like, I lost money, family, friends, and
got shot. Now I'm feeling humiliated because now I feel
like everybody that went against me, they happy I got
shot for real. Like everybody could say they wasn't, but
it's like Oh, yeah, that's where you get all them
emotions going through it. At one time, and then you
be like, I want to do something to somebody. But
(47:07):
then it be like, am I going to obey God?
Do you remember that moment you heard God speak to you?
When he tapped you on that shoulder? Do you remember
exactly what that felt like?
Speaker 6 (47:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (47:15):
Me and him, we used to. This is how I
really made it through it. Like, I was in a
dark moment. I ain't going to say everything I was
doing in this dark moment. But one day, like, because
he going to support whatever I want to do for real.
He really going to support me. Whatever I want to do,
he going to. Even if he think it's wrong, he
going to. provide me with support but we was talking
on the phone and he was like i just had
told him like i'm gonna just go to the gym
(47:37):
then when i went to the gym i just was
locked in like i go three times a day i'm
doing 400 push-ups 200 pull-ups like everything changed my diet
last november to last like the middle of january I
had no bread, no sugar, no sex, and.
Speaker 4 (47:54):
Drunk all water.
Speaker 11 (47:55):
And I went to the gym like two or three
times a day, and it made me feel better than ever.
Speaker 5 (47:59):
It was clear.
Speaker 11 (48:01):
And I was praying in the sauna. Every day I'd
turn on a gospel song and pray in the sauna.
That's what really helped me.
Speaker 4 (48:07):
It was clear. And God gave you direct order.
Speaker 11 (48:11):
I stopped hurting.
Speaker 4 (48:12):
Not physically.
Speaker 11 (48:13):
Mentally, I just stopped hurting.
Speaker 4 (48:15):
I let all the hurt go.
Speaker 11 (48:17):
And I remember the moment when I stopped hurting, I
started praying for my enemies.
Speaker 4 (48:24):
That's powerful, man.
Speaker 1 (48:25):
Because, you know, I always say hurt people hurt people.
So when you stopped hurting, you didn't even want to
hurt nobody.
Speaker 5 (48:30):
It's crazy, though, right?
Speaker 17 (48:31):
Because you have all that happening, the dark cloud and
just trying to get through where you're from. But at
the same time, you do so much in your community
and have been literally ever since I ever knew who
you were. Is there like a fight sometimes, especially because of,
you know, getting shot where you're from? where you're like,
I want to keep doing all this, but at the
same time, it's like, that means going back, and you're
(48:52):
hypersensitive to, like, the areas you got to go into, and, like,
what's that meant to battle, or is there even one
at this point?
Speaker 3 (48:57):
No, I never stopped.
Speaker 11 (48:58):
Even when I got shot, I still went back and
did some stuff. I went back a few weeks later
and helped the mayor. I was part of her campaign.
Speaker 5 (49:07):
The Occupy Summer?
Speaker 4 (49:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (49:09):
Like, I do Occupy the Summers, but I also, I
get outside and I do stuff on my own. I
provided houses for Less fortunate families gave them some of
my houses. i didn't bless girls go to college i
do a lot of stuff i don't like it being
recorded i don't do it for that they want me
to make a non-profit i still haven't because i don't
(49:29):
do it for that either but i ain't gonna never
stop doing stuff for my community because they blessed me
yeah they poured into me growing up So I feel
like if I took all this, I took the swag,
I took the money, I took all that. I still
got to pour back into my community, regardless of what happened.
Because I told you, I'm not going to ask God why.
(49:50):
I'm just going to do it. And I don't do
it to be blessed back or anything. I'm going to
go back to something Lawrence said.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
How difficult is it for a young black man to
understand leaving the neighborhood doesn't mean abandoning it, abandoning the neighborhood?
Speaker 11 (50:01):
It's very difficult. It's very difficult because everybody try to
pull you into that. They try to make it seem
like if you're not there, you don't care. Also, they
don't understand it's a certain level of protection you don't get.
If I come to a neighborhood and something, like some
people don't do all illegal stuff in my neighborhood. So
if I come through there, I'm making it hot. I'm
making everything. I'm shedding light on the neighborhood, but I'm
(50:25):
also protecting. Providing a light to stuff that's not supposed
to be going on, too, that's going to happen in
the neighborhood, whether I help it or not, you know?
Because it's just what comes with the neighborhood. So it's
also fun, too. Like, being in the neighborhood, I had
to really... That's why I like Ron Manot, because it's
not fun.
Speaker 4 (50:42):
It's not fun?
Speaker 11 (50:42):
It's not fun.
Speaker 5 (50:43):
Not the type of fun that he's used to.
Speaker 1 (50:44):
Yeah, you said that about four times in an interview,
how fun it is. Like, what's so fun about it?
Speaker 4 (50:48):
About the neighborhood?
Speaker 11 (50:49):
I think it's the sense of community that you like.
I like the sense of community, but also, like, when you...
born into some gangsta stuff that's fun to you it's
the adrenaline rush it's just like going on a roller
coaster i don't ride roller coasters and i tell people
like i ain't i've been shot enough times i don't
need to jump out of plane or do nothing like
you know what i'm saying i've been shot at doing
like it's fun it's fun we make it through it
(51:10):
like it's not fun getting shot but if you ever
been on a a shootout or something like that it's
the same adrenaline rush you get from jumping out of
plane or going on a roller coaster when the When
it dropped.
Speaker 5 (51:21):
It's the thrill.
Speaker 11 (51:22):
It's the thrill of it.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
It's excitement, yeah.
Speaker 11 (51:24):
You ever notice all the little kids, when they don't
get shot, they on the internet talk about how they
made it and stuff like that, and they laughing because
it's the adrenaline rush of all that.
Speaker 4 (51:34):
And it's not fun.
Speaker 11 (51:35):
Don't get me wrong, but when you're in it and
you can't make it out of it, it's the fun
that you having, you know?
Speaker 17 (51:41):
I'm going to go back to the freestyle that you
released after everything happened. You thanked everybody for the love
and support, but at the same time, it was kind
of like giving where you were trying to decide how
you should react because of what you... come from and
what you used to and the whole retaliation or whatever
and where you know you should be like talking to
god and just leaving it alone so like it's like
you battle with that like to this day still what
(52:03):
clicked for you and when where you were like like
that's not real life i can't really live my life
like that i.
Speaker 11 (52:08):
Was talking to pastor warren campbell that's erica campbell's.
Speaker 5 (52:12):
Husband okay she's on the album too yeah.
Speaker 11 (52:14):
Warren campbell produced on the album too he did a
lot of tupac he did mario records he did a
lot of mary mary records he does a lot of
stuff but he was telling me i'm not fighting because
i really kept it real with him i was like
i want to do this i feel like this and
he was like you might not be fighting right and
wrong you might be fighting right and wise so everything
you want to do you might be right for doing
(52:36):
it but is it the wise decision when he said
that it clicked And I'm.
Speaker 4 (52:40):
Like, dang, he right.
Speaker 11 (52:42):
I might feel evil in this moment, but is it
conducive to my situation? Is it conducive to Skilla baby?
Is it conducive to my mama? Is it conducive to
my sister? Am I being selfish to my management? You
know what I'm saying? People, my employees, like if I
go away, if I do this, if I set myself up,
even if I don't make it out a situation, a
(53:02):
lot of people lost jobs, might lose houses, might lose,
you know what I'm saying? So it was like, I
can't be selfish in those moments. Also, I'm in my
obedience phase of my life, so it's like, Pastor told
me this, and I felt like he wasn't judging me
when he said it. He really told me I could
be right, but I could, I could, is it wise?
So he didn't really tell me, don't do that. He
(53:24):
was like, just think about it. You know what I'm saying?
So I took a step back, and I.
Speaker 4 (53:28):
Had to reevaluate everything. After surviving everything, you survived, right?
You know, including gun violence, has survived.
Speaker 1 (53:35):
Your philanthropy started to feel different because you give away houses.
I see you support students. You put $ 50, 000 for the
gun back. Does philanthropy feel different after all that? Yeah,
I just did a mental health podcast. I mean, not
a podcast, but a panel in my city. I partnered
with the mayor, the deputy mayor, the chief of police,
(53:57):
some other activists and programs that help with mental health.
So I feel like With that, I want to see,
because I'll still be battling, like, I'll be feeling down
and stuff, but I want to see how people cope
in different ways to see am I doing it wrong
or other ways I can deal with my stuff. Also,
(54:18):
I wanted to bridge a gap between community and police.
Speaker 5 (54:24):
Like, over-policing.
Speaker 11 (54:25):
I think, like, a lot of kids and a lot
of people in the community, the disconnection with police officers
and city officials is we really don't know them. So
you be scared. You fear the unknown. So I feel
like if they see me shaking their hand, then it'll
look cool because somebody they cool with. Because I don't
(54:48):
got to snitch on nobody. I'm not telling on nobody.
And I can do gun buybacks and still help y'all,
but I'm not helping y'all do y'all job. But also,
I feel like a lot of police are there to help.
And I feel like The disconnection between them and us
is we don't know each other. So if we, if
you see, if I see an officer in my neighborhood
(55:11):
as a kid and these systematic beliefs and these learned behaviors,
I see my uncle or my pops or whatever telling
the police get the f * * * on, then
I'm going to feel like that. But also, if I know,
if I know the police.
And I feel like it's my cousin or my friend,
(55:33):
then he's trying to provide ways to help me out
in these situations instead of judging me. Even with the police,
knowing the neighborhood, it's like the police that really be
in the neighborhood that's chilling with everybody and they be cool. Like,
they'll help you through it. It's be the people that
we don't know that we automatically, we got this stigma
about them, this stigma on both sides, you know? So
(55:55):
I feel like if we, like, bridge that gap, man,
It'll be like less over policing and then it's be
less fear in the neighborhoods too. But also we got to,
I think in our neighborhoods, we're a little delusional when
it comes to that, because a lot of times we
be doing stuff that's wrong. Even if you don't feel
(56:17):
like it's morally wrong, it's against the law. I think
a lot of kids, like one thing my pops taught
me growing up, you got to know your laws. A
lot of people don't know the law. Or they ignore
the law. And really their job is to defend the law.
You know what I'm saying? So if you getting arrested
and you broke the law, bro, you can't really... You
(56:37):
can be mad at yourself. You can't really be mad
at the police.
Speaker 4 (56:40):
You're doing your job.
Speaker 3 (56:41):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 11 (56:42):
A lot of times we be trying to make that
excuse like, yeah, they over-policing, but dog just broke the law.
You know what I'm saying? And I'm from the streets,
so I haven't been a law-abiding citizen my whole life.
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 4 (56:54):
So it's like.
Speaker 11 (56:56):
I understand it, but we got to stop like putting this,
this stigma out there that every time somebody get arrested,
they didn't break the law. You got caught. That's not
our fault. It's not their fault. You got caught. You
know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3 (57:10):
Now over policing, I.
Speaker 11 (57:11):
Don't support that at all. You know what I'm saying?
I don't, I don't, I'm never helping the police do
their job at all. I don't get paid to do that,
but we do have police for a reason. You know
what I'm saying? And it's like, We can't. Every time
somebody get, they're a felon and they get caught with
a gun, like, oh my God, they bothering me. No,
you got a gun, gang.
Speaker 8 (57:32):
Like that's, oh my God, especially with somebody, mother, they
see their dead kid getting.
Speaker 5 (57:38):
Harassed by, you know, like just getting beat up by
the police. Oh my God, stop, he ain't do nothing. No,
this is little Michael Myers, baby. Like, you know what
I mean? He done killed a hell of people.
Speaker 4 (57:46):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (57:47):
But also, if they invested in our communities the way
they invested in police, things would also change as well.
There wouldn't be the need for over-policing because, you know,
these kids would have the mental health resources that they
need and these kids would have after-school programs. Like, you
got to give these kids something to do. They say
our idle mind is the devil's playground. That's why they
turn to a life of crime often because they don't
(58:08):
have any other resources and they trying to make ends
meet and they don't have nothing else to do.
Speaker 4 (58:13):
Give these kids something else to do.
Speaker 6 (58:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (58:15):
You don't seem like you care about your image no
more either.
Speaker 11 (58:18):
My image, like, my image was cool and stuff. This
is the time of the prayer, too.
Speaker 4 (58:24):
My prayer time. My aim is just like... You want
to stop and pray?
Speaker 11 (58:29):
We can.
Speaker 4 (58:29):
Yeah, come on. You going to do it?
Speaker 6 (58:31):
Let's do it.
Speaker 5 (58:31):
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Speaker 4 (58:36):
Mess your routine up.
Speaker 5 (58:37):
You going to pray or you want us to pray?
Speaker 6 (58:39):
I want Charlie to do it.
Speaker 9 (58:40):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (58:41):
Dear Lord, happy Father.
Speaker 10 (58:41):
I thank you for bringing us together today. I thank
you for Scalababy and his journey and his voice.
Speaker 5 (58:45):
I pray that you cover him. You continue to lead
him down the path of leadership. I know that he
is still here with us for a reason.
Speaker 17 (58:50):
I know that you will continue to You know, just
lay that for him as he continues to walk forward.
Speaker 5 (58:54):
I pray that in Jesus' name.
Speaker 6 (58:56):
Amen.
Speaker 5 (58:57):
Amen.
Speaker 4 (58:57):
Thank you. And on that. The price of fame is
out right now, man. Beautiful prayer, Lauren. The price of
fame is out right now. Skilla Baby, keep growing, my brother.
Speaker 11 (59:09):
Appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (59:10):
Yes, sir. It's The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. We are
The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (59:13):
Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Speaker 2 (59:15):
So yesterday, guys, Beyonce's Be Good Foundation, which.
Speaker 17 (59:18):
Is a foundation she founded, announced that they're going to
(59:45):
be donating $ 200, 000 to help with the relief efforts in Gary, Indiana.
So now this money will be donated in grants to
the City Life Center and Angel by Nature to support
flood relief efforts. This will provide immediate relief to communities
most affected, including the city of Gary.
Speaker 5 (01:00:04):
I think that is fire.
Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
Drop on the clues box for Be Good Foundation.
Speaker 12 (01:00:09):
So when they're giving the money to what organizations, right?
Because what is the government doing? Because the government should
be fixing this.
Speaker 5 (01:00:16):
And helping, right? They're dragging their damn feet.
Speaker 17 (01:00:18):
They're giving it to the City Life Center and Angel
by Nature are the two organizations that they pointed to.
Speaker 5 (01:00:22):
But I mean, I know like.
Speaker 4 (01:00:24):
You can't wait on the government.
Speaker 5 (01:00:25):
You're right.
Speaker 4 (01:00:26):
The government should be doing stuff, but you can't wait
on the government.
Speaker 12 (01:00:29):
And that's a lot of people. Yeah, I just don't
want the government to be like, oh, well, B got it.
We ain't got to.
Speaker 5 (01:00:34):
But they ain't got it yet.
Speaker 8 (01:00:37):
That's why B got it, because they ain't been giving
it to him. Them people been in the dark for, what, 13,
14 days?
Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
That's crazy. That's so damn crazy.
Speaker 8 (01:00:44):
And then everybody don't have power. Like, the whole city
don't have power. Or even, you know, food and everything.
Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
Everybody don't have help.
Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
Plus, I'm sure they did their research, so they know
what organization to give it to that's going to get
relief right to the people.
Speaker 4 (01:00:56):
Right, right. Salute to B.
Speaker 5 (01:00:58):
That's amazing. Yeah, salute to her.
Speaker 17 (01:01:00):
Now mentioning Beyonce yesterday on the rock nation Instagram, they
posted like these like TV screens with like the, you know,
you know, like that beep, like the, what is that called?
Speaker 5 (01:01:11):
Like the blanked out screen. Just a blanked out screen. Yeah,
I don't know how to describe it. Public service announcement.
Speaker 17 (01:01:17):
Yes, that screen. The public service announcement screen. And they
put stay tuned for September 1st. Now, people thought that
this meant that there might be new music. People were like,
maybe it's a tour. Like, they thought all these things.
Charlamagne said ain't nothing happening. And he's reporting that right now.
Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
No, I do know. It's a Memphis Bleak reality show.
It's a Memphis Bleak reality show.

You a damn liar.
Speaker 5 (01:01:41):
I ain't do all that for that.
Speaker 4 (01:01:43):
So everybody else can get on here and lie about
Roc Nation, but when I do it, I'm a liar.
Speaker 8 (01:01:46):
Nobody else can call out for being a liar.
Speaker 4 (01:01:49):
But as soon as I get on here and say something,
I'm the liar.
Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
As soon as you said bleak.
Speaker 5 (01:01:53):
They didn't do public service announcement for bleak.
Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
Stop.
Speaker 5 (01:01:55):
We were talking about Jay-Z and music and stuff, right?
Why can't bleak do the public service announcement? No, shut
out the bleak.
Speaker 8 (01:02:01):
But I'm just saying, like, they did all that. There's
got to be, like, something that Jay-Z can come in, yo.

Speaker 5 (01:03:28):
Congratulations or not. Shifting gears a bit.
Speaker 17 (01:03:31):
So Chris Brown is telling the court that he is
too busy to come to court because he's on tour
with Usher.
Speaker 10 (01:03:37):
Damn.
Speaker 5 (01:03:38):
So, I mean, look.
Speaker 4 (01:03:39):
That'll work if you get the judge some tickets. I
bet you the judge wants some tickets.
Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (01:03:43):
All right.
Speaker 5 (01:03:43):
So this is what's happening.
Speaker 17 (01:03:45):
So in that legal matter with the ex-housekeeper, right, the
woman that was bit by the dog who was awarded
all of that money, that $ 13 million, Chris Brown is
being asked to come to court because they want to
go through his, they want to review his finances and
his bank statements to see how he's going to pay
her the judgments that he owes her. But Chris Brown
recently filed a document that says he's a little bit
busy because he's on that tour with Usher and that
(01:04:07):
they might even be extending the tour with more additional dates.
So he can't come into court to do it. Now,
I don't think that there's an issue here because we
know that he is on the tour. And it's like,
why does he have to be there, would be my question.
Speaker 8 (01:04:19):
Can't his team of lawyers go in there and stand
before him, you know, stand on his behalf or somebody's?
Speaker 5 (01:04:24):
I would assume that that's how it goes.
Speaker 17 (01:04:25):
But Chris Brown is also pointing to the fact that
there's no evidence that he ever tried to conceal or...
transfer any assets or money to avoid paying a debt.
And he's right in Vegas. He's not far. He's not
in Vegas. He's not far from, you know, court. So
he's not trying. He basically is not trying to get
away from any of this. He just has things to do.
Speaker 4 (01:04:44):
Shouldn't the dog be in court?
Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Yes, absolutely. Why is Chris dead?
Speaker 4 (01:04:47):
Send the goddamn dog.
Speaker 5 (01:04:48):
With a damn muzzle.
Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
They probably killed the dog.
Speaker 5 (01:04:52):
No, we really don't know what happened.
Speaker 3 (01:04:53):
Should we die?
Speaker 12 (01:04:55):
I didn't say for factual, but that's what usually happens,
especially a bite this serious.
Speaker 5 (01:04:59):
They probably put the dog down.
Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
I would do the same thing and sell him for parts.
Speaker 5 (01:05:03):
Yeah, but wouldn't we have heard that?
Speaker 3 (01:05:05):
What parts would you sell him for?
Speaker 4 (01:05:06):
Actors.
Speaker 5 (01:05:07):
What you mean?
Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
What you mean selling for parts? No, what you mean?
Speaker 6 (01:05:10):
What?
Speaker 5 (01:05:10):
You don't know? I do see reports that people will
buy it.
Speaker 4 (01:05:14):
Sell the dog. All right now.
Speaker 5 (01:05:16):
All right. I don't think the dog is here anymore, y'all.
All right.
Speaker 4 (01:05:22):
Well, the dog's in heaven.
Speaker 5 (01:05:23):
Yeah. KTLA is reporting that the dog isn't.
Speaker 4 (01:05:28):
Girl, say the dog got killed. You got euthanized.
Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
You say the dog was put down. That's what you
got to say. That's what usually happens with a dog bite.
Speaker 5 (01:05:35):
You're a reporter. I know. It was just sad to say. No,
you didn't say it yet. Say it.
Speaker 17 (01:05:40):
The dog was put down on Christmas Eve following the attack,
according to KTLA.
Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
Teen murders and you ain't sound like that for no
human being not one black man you reported on you
sounded sad.
Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
Like that it's.
Speaker 17 (01:05:53):
The picture that they have with the dog in the
cage I'm sorry alright yeah the dog was.
Speaker 3 (01:05:57):
Put down 36 murders in the first hour didn't sound
like that All dogs go to heaven. That's what they say, right?
Speaker 5 (01:06:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 17 (01:06:04):
And the next latest, we're going to talk about, speaking
of Vegas, we're going to talk about Mary J. Blige
because the people are upset at her over an AI campaign.
Speaker 5 (01:06:10):
We're going to get into it.
Speaker 4 (01:06:11):
All right.
Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
We'll get to that next. Charlamagne, who you giving your
dog to?
Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
Four after the hour. We need Keefie D to come
to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have
a word with him. There's a teachable moment in all
of this.
Speaker 4 (01:06:20):
I believe.
Speaker 5 (01:06:21):
He had enough words. That's his problem.
Speaker 3 (01:06:22):
Too many words.
Speaker 4 (01:06:23):
All right. We'll get to that next.
Speaker 3 (01:06:24):
It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (01:06:25):
Good morning.
Speaker 9 (01:06:25):
Taylor!
Speaker 10 (01:06:25):
Taylor!
Speaker 5 (01:06:26):
I made it.
Speaker 4 (01:06:27):
It's time for Donkey of the Day. There's a bunch
of donkeys out here in this street. I'll make Donkey
of the Day. Called Donkey of the Day. It really
caught me off guard.
Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
We live a life where we bite our tongue based
off who we may offend. We never would say anything.
Speaker 5 (01:06:38):
Give it to him.
Speaker 4 (01:06:38):
Give it to him. You are a donkey.
Speaker 5 (01:06:44):
That is why Charlemagne is here.
Speaker 4 (01:06:47):
Some donkey of the day just saw themselves.
Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
On The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (01:06:50):
Okay, so we'll be wild for a second.
Speaker 5 (01:06:54):
You're an idiot, man. You should fight him.
Speaker 3 (01:06:56):
You should really snuff him, right?
Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
Wise.
Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
Donkey of the day for Tuesday, September 1st goes to
Dwayne Keefie D.
Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
Davis.
Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
Now, if you haven't heard yesterday... Dwayne Keefie D.
Speaker 1 (01:07:06):
Davis was found guilty of orchestrating the 1996 murder of
Tupac Shakur. Yes, 30 years ago on September 6th, 1996,
Tupac Shakur was shot in Las Vegas and then died
seven days later on September 13th. For three decades, nobody
was convicted for his murder until yesterday.
Speaker 4 (01:07:24):
Let's go to ABC 7 for the report, please.
Speaker 19 (01:07:26):
Dwayne Davis has been the only man ever charged in
the 30-year-old murder of rapper Tupac Shakur. Less than an
hour ago, the jury came back unanimous, affirming what Davis
has spent years admitting publicly.
Speaker 10 (01:07:38):
We, the jury in the both entitled case, find the
defendant Dwayne Keith Davis as follows.
Speaker 5 (01:07:42):
Count one, murder with use of a deadly weapon. Guilty
of first degree murder with use of a deadly weapon.
Dated this 31st day of August 2026.
Speaker 19 (01:07:51):
It took the jury less than three hours to reach
that verdict, guilty of first-degree murder. Prosecutors had told jurors
to believe the various statements Davis had made over 30
years admitting to the crime, including a book he published
admitting his involvement in Tupac's murder. Davis is not accused
of pulling the trigger, but instead of orchestrating the shooting.
and providing the gun. Defense attorneys had told the jury
(01:08:13):
there was no evidence to back up Davis' previous claims
of involvement. Davis, like he's done previously during this trial,
spoke up in court just.
Speaker 4 (01:08:22):
Moments after the verdict.
Speaker 19 (01:08:33):
Perhaps difficult to hear Davis asking for evidence to be
returned and his intent to appeal.
Speaker 1 (01:08:38):
Ladies and gentlemen, there's an old saying, if you give
a man enough rope, he'll hang himself. Well, in this era,
if you give a man enough microphones, he'll create Exhibit A. OK,
we're not going to sit here and act like Keefie
D didn't earn this citizen.
Speaker 4 (01:08:50):
He worked hard for it. That's the game, right?
Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
Right. That's what we teach people. Work hard and get results. Oh,
Keefie D worked hard to get convicted. for his role
in the murder of Tupac Shakur. This man has years
of Vlad TV interviews. He's on documentaries. He wrote a
memoir about There was a time when investigators had to
interrogate suspects. Now, all you got to do is give
a brother a.
Speaker 4 (01:09:12):
Podcast set up, okay?
Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
Couple of shore microphones, some LED lights, a bottle of
alkaline water. Hell, don't even got to be alkaline. Dasani
will do, okay? And it all starts with Vlad saying.
Speaker 4 (01:09:24):
So walk me through what happened that night.
Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
Then people get to chatting and law enforcement is sitting
at home watching YouTube like, hold up, run that back. OK,
this is why KPD deserves donkey of the day. You know,
I try to make these situations teachable moments. And there
is a lot to learn here. See, KPD isn't getting
donkey of the day just because he talked. No. OK,
it is what I believe all that talking represents. And
(01:09:48):
that is sometimes surviving consequences for too long. convinces you
that consequences no longer exist okay but you can't run
from yourself all right that's why i like for consequences
to happen immediately this era isn't seeing enough consequences for
their actions and that's why people move the way they
move okay think about it you do something wrong and
nothing happens for a week you're nervous okay nothing happens
(01:10:11):
for a year you're still looking over your shoulder okay
five years you start relaxing All right, 10 years, you
start thinking you got away with it. 20 years, oh,
now you really comfortable. 30 years, you think you got
away scot-free. Now you're doing press and you're cashing in.
Keefy D, you have successfully avoided consequences for three decades.
Why then are you doing media about the thing you
(01:10:34):
allegedly avoided consequences for? Who robs a bank in 1996,
gets away with it, and then in 2022 starts.
Speaker 4 (01:10:42):
A YouTube channel called How I Robbed That Bank? in 1996.
By the way, it's a great movie coming out in
November called How to Rob a Bank. It's incredible. You
should watch it.
Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
But no!
Speaker 4 (01:10:51):
Learn to shut up!
Speaker 5 (01:10:52):
Alright?
Speaker 4 (01:10:53):
You avoided consequences.
Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
But this is an example of how sometimes getting away
with something is the worst thing that can happen to
a fool because consequences actually teach you boundaries. But when
consequences don't come, some people start thinking they're untouchable.
Speaker 4 (01:11:09):
That's what happened to Keefy D.
Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
That's when relief becomes confidence, and then confidence becomes arrogance,
and arrogance starts talking. All over the world, okay? That's
what happened to Keefie D. His arrogance got the best
of him. An ego needs an audience, okay? That's the
part people don't understand. Sometimes people don't just want to
get away with something. Eventually, they want credit for getting
away with it.
Speaker 4 (01:11:32):
That's ego.
Speaker 1 (01:11:33):
That's why I don't even want the lesson here to
simply be stop going on podcasts, telling your business. That's
a basic way of thinking, okay? Podcasts aren't the problem.
Cameras and microphones aren't the problem. Ego is the problem. OK,
the platforms just give the ego amplification.
Speaker 4 (01:11:49):
And here's another thing.
Speaker 1 (01:11:51):
Keefy D's defense argued that some of the things he
said publicly were essentially exaggerated or fabricated for entertainment and money.
Speaker 4 (01:11:59):
OK, let's unpack that.
Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
If the stories were true, you were publicly discussing your
involvement in one of the most infamous murders in American
pop culture history. And if the stories weren't true, you
spent years pretending to be involved in one of the
most infamous murders in American pop culture history. So, sir,
which one would you like Donkey of the Day for? OK,
(01:12:22):
because you actually participated or you pretended to participate for clout.
That is another disease killing our society. People underestimate the
cost of turning their lives into content because once everything
becomes content, you start asking the wrong questions, okay? Instead
of asking, should I say this? You start asking, will
people watch this? Okay, will people listen to this? Those
(01:12:43):
are two completely different questions. And most of the time,
the thing everybody wants to hear is exactly the thing
you should never say, especially when it's an unsolved murder.
Justice delayed is not necessarily justice denied. Just because something
hasn't caught up with you doesn't mean it never will.
(01:13:04):
And time passing doesn't automatically erase consequences, especially when you
keep talking and telling us about the thing you have
escaped consequences for. Some people survive their consequences and mistake
survival for immunity. But the reality of the situation is
the statute of limitations on stupid is forever. Please let
(01:13:27):
Remy Ma give Dwayne Keefie D. Davis the biggest hee-haw.
Speaker 10 (01:13:30):
Hee-haw.
Speaker 13 (01:13:31):
Hee-haw.
Speaker 5 (01:13:32):
You stupid motherfucker.
Speaker 4 (01:13:34):
You dumb. He earned it, man. Yep.
Speaker 2 (01:13:37):
He earned it.
Speaker 4 (01:13:38):
Worked hard for it.
Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
Sure did.
Speaker 4 (01:13:39):
Sure did. If you campaign hard enough, you will get elected.
Speaker 6 (01:13:44):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
And he was, what, 63?
Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
Damn, yo.
Speaker 3 (01:13:47):
So he was probably going to die in jail.
Speaker 6 (01:13:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:13:50):
That's wild, though.
Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
And he's been home all this time.
Speaker 9 (01:13:53):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 10 (01:13:53):
Talking.
Speaker 3 (01:13:54):
All he had to do was just shut up.
Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (01:13:55):
Here you go. You needed the credit.
Speaker 12 (01:13:59):
Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Now, when
we come back, 800-585-1051. This is going viral yesterday. A
young man found out nine years later that his daughter,
that he was about to take school shopping, is not
his biological daughter.
Speaker 3 (01:14:15):
This is how he found out.
Speaker 18 (01:14:16):
I found out that my nine-year-old daughter is not biologically mine.
We took a prenatal paternity test from a company I
had found online called Prenatal Paternity. When she first told me,
I stayed up all night researching that like it was
the SAT.
Speaker 4 (01:14:30):
The results came back that I was a father. Case closed.
Speaker 18 (01:14:33):
So I wasn't walking around suspicious for the whole nine years.
On Friday, I went to CVS and I got one
of these. I swabbed my mouth, I swabbed her mouth,
and I sent it in. I found out on school
supply day.
Speaker 5 (01:14:45):
When they emailed me the text back, it said I
was not the father.
Speaker 4 (01:14:48):
I'm like, not the father?
Speaker 2 (01:14:49):
What the?
Speaker 18 (01:14:50):
I thought it had to be some type of mistake
because how the first test say this and this say that?
I was so mad and I'm not gonna lie. Right now,
I don't know how to feel. I don't know what
to do moving forward. All I do know is that
this hurts like hell.
Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
Hey man, he been through that baby wasn't his.
Speaker 4 (01:15:05):
This year he broke it than he ever been.
Speaker 1 (01:15:07):
So he had to get out of buying them goddamn
school supplies.
Speaker 4 (01:15:10):
He still took.
Speaker 3 (01:15:12):
A school supply shopping.
Speaker 4 (01:15:14):
Oh, he did?
Speaker 3 (01:15:15):
Yeah, he still took a school supply shopping.
Speaker 8 (01:15:16):
But what I hope is that he had the conversation
with her before he came to the internet.
Speaker 5 (01:15:20):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (01:15:20):
Because like, she although she's nine i'm pretty sure she
has the internet social media whatever and um what do
you even tell the child and then first of all
did the mother know not he knew did the mother.
Speaker 5 (01:15:32):
Know right well definitely knew that wasn't his no no
i'm saying i'm sorry i'm sorry not that you know
but like let's.
Speaker 17 (01:15:37):
Talk about when we come back yeah 800-585-1051 if you
were in that.
Speaker 4 (01:15:40):
Situation what would you do Grandma Ben told that boy
that wasn't his baby.
Speaker 5 (01:15:49):
It'd be your grandma.
Speaker 3 (01:15:50):
You just realized.
Speaker 5 (01:15:50):
She'd be looking at the ears first.
Speaker 12 (01:15:52):
You just realized that child is not yours biologically.
Speaker 5 (01:15:55):
But he just admitted that he got a test at first.
Speaker 12 (01:15:56):
The child is nine years old. What do you do
in that situation? Let's discuss when we come back. It's
The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (01:16:02):
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (01:16:02):
It's Topic Time.
Speaker 17 (01:16:03):
Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The
Breakfast Club.
Speaker 5 (01:16:14):
Morning, everybody.
Speaker 12 (01:16:15):
It's DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
The Breakfast Club. Lonely Rose is here as well, if
you're just joining us. We're talking about something that went
viral a couple of days ago.
Speaker 3 (01:16:25):
Gentlemen, what's his name?
Speaker 5 (01:16:26):
Eastside Evo.
Speaker 3 (01:16:27):
Eastside Evo. He posted yesterday that he.
Speaker 12 (01:16:29):
Just found out that his nine-year-old daughter is not his
biological daughter.
Speaker 3 (01:16:33):
He did a test, and he just found out.
Speaker 12 (01:16:35):
And we're asking, what would you do in that situation?
Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
Now, Jess, you were talking about... about, you were more
interested in the conversation he would have.
Speaker 8 (01:16:42):
Yeah, like, you know, what is the conversation that you,
how do you even tell a kid, yo, I'm not
even really a dad. You know, I guess it depends
on the age, you know, if they're ready or even
mature enough to have a conversation as such, right?
Speaker 5 (01:16:52):
But, The moms, yo, like, you know what she was doing.
You know what I mean? You knew that this was
not my child.
Speaker 8 (01:17:00):
How do you let a man think that this is.
Speaker 5 (01:17:02):
Especially if you on child support.
Speaker 4 (01:17:04):
Right.
Speaker 5 (01:17:05):
It's like, yo, what's going on?
Speaker 8 (01:17:06):
But that's a world of hurt, especially if you thought
this child was yours and you don't have any more kids.
Speaker 5 (01:17:12):
Now you don't have nothing.
Speaker 4 (01:17:15):
I wouldn't tell the child.
Speaker 1 (01:17:16):
You know, I've had homeboys who've been in that situation.
Speaker 6 (01:17:19):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (01:17:20):
And, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
They were in their child's life for such a long
time that that's the only father that that child knew.
So when he found out that he wasn't the father...
He didn't tell her that she's a child. I don't
know if he told her later on in life. You know,
I really don't know. But at the time he didn't
tell her and he just held it down and kept
being that father figure because, you know, an invested nine years.
Speaker 4 (01:17:40):
Right.
Speaker 5 (01:17:41):
But did the new father try to step up or
did they? You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (01:17:44):
Because at some point when you find out if the
person who has who's been absent, who probably didn't even
know that they had a child.
Speaker 5 (01:17:51):
What happens with that? Because now I want to meet
my child.
Speaker 12 (01:17:54):
See, my first reaction is, that ain't my child. I'm not, like,
I feel bamboozled, right?
Speaker 6 (01:17:59):
Right.
Speaker 12 (01:17:59):
But then I had to look back at it, let's
say Brooklyn, who's just turned 10. If that happened to
me and Brooklyn, you would still take care of that child.
Because that's Brooklyn's, she would be my daughter regardless.
Speaker 10 (01:18:08):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (01:18:09):
You have an emotional, spiritual attachment to this girl.
Speaker 5 (01:18:12):
Exactly.
Speaker 12 (01:18:12):
But what the mom is not going to do is
have me on child support. I don't feel like you're
going to make me pay if that's not my- I'm
legally responsible for the child.
Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
I don't know if that's true either because didn't that
happen to Neal? Don't Neal got to pay for a child.
Speaker 8 (01:18:22):
That's- Well, when you sign the birth certificate, you are automatically,
what is it, obligated or you're responsible for the child
legally because you signed the birth certificate.
Speaker 5 (01:18:32):
I think that's what happened to Neal.
Speaker 8 (01:18:33):
Now, it's a lot of things that you got to
do with the start of that process to get your
name off, but there's no guarantee that you can actually
get your name off.
Speaker 12 (01:18:41):
Yeah, because, you know, the fact that, let's say, she
has this gentleman on child support for all these years.
I would be like, no, I'm going to take care
of my kid. I'm going to take care of the child.
my kid, because it is, but you're not going to
force me to pay.
Speaker 5 (01:18:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:18:54):
Where before, you know, you had legal right to force me.
Speaker 5 (01:18:56):
And do you get all that money back when you
go and present? You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (01:19:00):
No, I'm just saying, like, because that's why I know
you feel robbed, you feel betrayal, you feel deceived.
Speaker 5 (01:19:05):
I can't even imagine as a man how that would feel.
It's unfortunate all the way around. Like, I've been here
this whole time. But, like, something he knew. For you
to do another test, you knew something wasn't right.
Speaker 4 (01:19:18):
I told you that wasn't yours, boy. You been knew that. Okay?
I don't know. Did that happen to Neil? I feel
like that happened to Neil.
Speaker 5 (01:19:24):
I just looked it.
Speaker 17 (01:19:24):
Up, and they said that he did ask for paternity,
but they found out that the children were his. But
that's Google AI, so don't quote it.
Speaker 8 (01:19:30):
I'm telling you, I feel like whether you're married, one
night stand, whatever, in a relationship, committed or not, at
the birth... Of a baby, you should always get a
paternity test. I think one should be administered no matter what.
I don't even care if you're married or not.
Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
But you don't think that's disrespectful?
Speaker 5 (01:19:49):
Nah, yeah. I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:19:50):
All right, let's say Chris came up to you and
was like.
Speaker 6 (01:19:54):
Really, Chris?
Speaker 4 (01:19:54):
Maybe not.
Speaker 5 (01:19:55):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (01:19:55):
Maybe not Chris. Maybe he came out looking like Chris.
Speaker 4 (01:19:59):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:20:00):
You mean like just regular dating?
Speaker 4 (01:20:02):
It's in my honor.
Speaker 5 (01:20:02):
Brittany's like, no, it's yours. Say it again. Like they
should have a paternity test if they're not married. This
is crazy. In general is what you're saying? Yes, I
think at the time of- I think Chris.
Speaker 4 (01:20:09):
Should be trying to figure out if Jess the mama.
Speaker 5 (01:20:10):
Every birth.
Speaker 4 (01:20:11):
Okay, I think y'all might have took the wrong baby home.
Speaker 5 (01:20:13):
Y'all, shut up. Shut up. But then that would mean-
Just shut up.
Speaker 3 (01:20:17):
That's Chris Baby.
Speaker 5 (01:20:17):
No, it don't mean nothing.
Speaker 4 (01:20:18):
That's Chris Baby. That's Chris Baby.
Speaker 5 (01:20:19):
Don't try to figure it out, Lauren.
Speaker 4 (01:20:20):
That's Chris Baby.
Speaker 3 (01:20:21):
They some assholes.
Speaker 4 (01:20:21):
Who's this?
Speaker 16 (01:20:23):
It looks like you should.
Speaker 12 (01:20:27):
Be dating Lovey, but go ahead.
Speaker 6 (01:20:30):
What happened with you, Mama?
Speaker 16 (01:20:33):
Man, what the hell is you talking.
Speaker 4 (01:20:36):
About this morning?
Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
We can't understand a goddamn word you're saying. All I
know is that it sounds like you done told four
different baby daddies that they the baby daddy, okay?
Speaker 4 (01:20:45):
That's what happened. That's what it says. It's happened to her.
Speaker 3 (01:20:47):
She had told two guys.
Speaker 5 (01:20:48):
She was dealing with.
Speaker 16 (01:20:50):
And what happened was, you know, my conscience kept bothering me.
And I told them, and I said, look, I'm not sure.
It means what's happening in my life.
Speaker 6 (01:21:01):
You could be, you could be.
Speaker 16 (01:21:03):
And it was accepted, you know what I'm saying? But
it hurted, but everybody still played a part. Because we
were in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (01:21:12):
What did that young girl grow up to be?
Speaker 6 (01:21:15):
Damn, stop it.
Speaker 10 (01:21:17):
Tell me right now.
Speaker 16 (01:21:18):
Tell me right now.
Speaker 10 (01:21:20):
She what?
Speaker 5 (01:21:22):
She hasn't talked to us in years.
Speaker 17 (01:21:23):
But the one daughter that you were talking about, though,
that wasn't his, what did she grow up to be?
Speaker 16 (01:21:27):
She's an entrepreneur. She makes new logos.
Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
She's working at Starless.
Speaker 16 (01:21:31):
She said you make logos.
Speaker 6 (01:21:32):
You got to chat GPT?
Speaker 4 (01:21:33):
You got to chat GPT.
Speaker 5 (01:21:35):
Jody, thank you. Thank you. We appreciate you.
Speaker 10 (01:21:36):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (01:21:37):
She said she appreciate the prayer.
Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
You heard her?
Speaker 3 (01:21:39):
The little bit of prayer.
Speaker 10 (01:21:40):
It was a little bit.
Speaker 16 (01:21:41):
But anyway, let's go to another line.
Speaker 4 (01:21:55):
Hello, who's this?
Speaker 7 (01:21:56):
Hey, how you doing? This is Len from Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (01:21:58):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 5 (01:21:59):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:21:59):
Talk to us.
Speaker 7 (01:22:00):
Good morning. On the topic, I was in a relationship.
I knew the kids were not mine. They were five
and six months old. After eight years, we broke up.
I kept taking care of the kids. It sucks because
anytime we got mad and arguing and stuff, I didn't
want to do it. But the love for the children
should supersede what you found out.
Speaker 5 (01:22:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (01:22:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:22:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:22:23):
So I want to tell that brother, man, if you
really love that child, just keep on pushing.
Speaker 4 (01:22:28):
He does. Like, that's the reality of the situation.
Speaker 1 (01:22:30):
There's no way you're going to be with a child
for nine years from the time they got on this planet,
and then all of a sudden you can emotionally disconnect
from that.
Speaker 4 (01:22:37):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (01:22:38):
It's so wild. Len, you said it was a newborn, too, right?
A baby, too, right?
Speaker 7 (01:22:43):
Yeah, one was five years old. The other one was
six months old.
Speaker 3 (01:22:46):
So the six-month-old, would y'all still stay with the six-month-old?
You know the six-month-old.
Speaker 4 (01:22:49):
Now I can bounce from a six month old. See
what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (01:22:51):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:22:52):
I can get a body.
Speaker 5 (01:22:53):
Yeah, I just met you.
Speaker 4 (01:22:55):
Six month old lady.
Speaker 5 (01:22:56):
They can barely know his name at six months.
Speaker 4 (01:22:57):
But hold up.
Speaker 8 (01:22:58):
How the hell did the lady have a five month
old and a six month old?
Speaker 5 (01:23:02):
What the hell?
Speaker 6 (01:23:02):
No, no, no.
Speaker 3 (01:23:03):
Five year old and a six month old.
Speaker 5 (01:23:04):
Oh, all right, all right, all right. I'm like, what's
going on?
Speaker 4 (01:23:07):
What kind of vagina you got?
Speaker 10 (01:23:07):
No, wait.
Speaker 7 (01:23:09):
I stayed in their life. I mean, the oldest, I
just put them in college or a secondary school for
education in baseball.
Speaker 5 (01:23:17):
I really respect men like that.
Speaker 7 (01:23:19):
You got to let the love do what it do.
Maybe not mess with that woman.
Speaker 6 (01:23:25):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (01:23:25):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:23:25):
I'm with y'all.
Speaker 3 (01:23:26):
I don't know about the six-month-old.
Speaker 11 (01:23:28):
Six-month-old's not his new.
Speaker 3 (01:23:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:23:30):
You are hell.
Speaker 17 (01:23:31):
He gonna laugh when I say I respect men like that.
Speaker 4 (01:23:35):
You do respect men like that. I get it.
Speaker 5 (01:23:37):
Who step up and be a father? You choose a child.
Speaker 4 (01:23:40):
When your biological didn't bother.
Speaker 9 (01:23:42):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (01:23:43):
That mother be a father, be a biological didn't bother. No,
that's Shaq.
Speaker 4 (01:23:46):
Shout out to Shaq. No.
Speaker 5 (01:23:47):
You trying to be funny. You trying to be funny.
As soon as I said that, he couldn't even hold
back his laugh.
Speaker 4 (01:23:52):
Yo, pull up Shaq Biological didn't bother since they think
I'm playing.
Speaker 5 (01:23:56):
Nah, but why you guys.
Speaker 4 (01:23:57):
Using lyrics right now?
Speaker 3 (01:23:57):
He did a whole song about his stepdad.
Speaker 4 (01:24:00):
Stepdaddy.
Speaker 17 (01:24:00):
No, I think it's just amazing when people choose a child,
even if it's not theirs, and commit to being that
child's father.
Speaker 5 (01:24:06):
My grandfather did that with my mom.
Speaker 4 (01:24:08):
She traumatized, though.
Speaker 1 (01:24:09):
That content creator, he definitely knew that baby wasn't his.
There was something, even though he probably grew to love
that baby, there was something in the back of his
mind all these years that was like, man, I don't
think this is mine.
Speaker 4 (01:24:19):
Yeah. Because why would you go get a test?
Speaker 1 (01:24:20):
He said, didn't he say in the audio that he
felt like the baby wasn't his?
Speaker 8 (01:24:24):
No, he said I wasn't just living with doubt for
nine years straight, but there may have been moments where
he did, because obviously something made you go to test.
Speaker 5 (01:24:30):
At nine years old, you also have to explain what
you're doing. Like, why are you swabbing me, Dad?
Speaker 1 (01:24:34):
COVID.
Speaker 4 (01:24:36):
You got to get COVID tested.
Speaker 3 (01:24:37):
But we'll take some more calls when we come back.
Speaker 6 (01:24:38):
800-585-1051.
Speaker 3 (01:24:38):
It's The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (01:24:41):
Morning, everybody.
Speaker 3 (01:24:42):
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Speaker 12 (01:24:45):
We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren Rose is here as well.
If you're just joining us, Lauren, break down what happened.
Speaker 17 (01:24:50):
So Isai Evo, I think it's Evo or Ivo, he
is an online content creator, but yesterday he posted a
video talking about the fact that he found out his
nine-year-old daughter wasn't his.
Speaker 3 (01:25:00):
Well, let's go to the phone lines. A lot of
people want to discuss.
Speaker 4 (01:25:02):
Hello, who's this?
Speaker 5 (01:25:03):
Hi, you guys.
Speaker 10 (01:25:05):
Real quick, actually, my sisters both were doing it. My
best friend, she did it, man. She rest in peace.
She lied to her husband the whole time that the
baby was his, and it wasn't. I kept going, why
would you do that? It was a thing she had
going on with her inside. Like, she didn't want to.
She was embarrassed, number one. And then she knew her
(01:25:26):
husband was going to be able to take care.
Speaker 5 (01:25:28):
Of the baby.
Speaker 4 (01:25:29):
How'd she die?
Speaker 10 (01:25:29):
It came out in the divorce when they had to
do the drug overdose.
Speaker 5 (01:25:35):
Oh, man.
Speaker 3 (01:25:36):
You said it came out in the divorce?
Speaker 10 (01:25:38):
Sheesh. Yeah, it came out in the divorce proceedings. They
had to take a paternity test. And then that's when
they found out that he was not. The entree was
not his. And it really, it separated them. But she said,
this is your baby, this is your baby. There was
no question, knowing that it wasn't.
Speaker 4 (01:25:57):
That's so crazy. That, wow.
Speaker 5 (01:25:59):
So f * * * ing insane. I'm so sorry.
And then you said you got two sisters? What town
y'all live in?
Speaker 10 (01:26:04):
Sacramento, California. Damn.
Speaker 3 (01:26:07):
Did he still take care of the kids?
Speaker 10 (01:26:08):
Excuse me?
Speaker 3 (01:26:10):
Did he still take care of the kids?
Speaker 10 (01:26:11):
No, he actually doesn't take care of the baby at all.
Speaker 6 (01:26:13):
Oh, he bounced.
Speaker 10 (01:26:14):
The dad actually passed away. The dad passed away, and
the baby's being raised by the grandmother. And it's a
sad thing because the baby was created during... They were
cheating on each other's spouse. You know, they were cheating.
Speaker 5 (01:26:31):
Oh, God.
Speaker 3 (01:26:32):
And this baby's your niece, right?
Speaker 5 (01:26:34):
No, that's our best friend's child.
Speaker 10 (01:26:36):
No, this is my best friend's child, Bianca.
Speaker 1 (01:26:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (01:26:39):
Now, my sisters, they don't want to tell the truth
about their baby daddy.
Speaker 5 (01:26:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They alive. And they like, uh-uh.
Speaker 10 (01:26:45):
No, straight up lie. And I called to wish her
a happy birthday earlier. You guys didn't... hearing me out,
but at the end of the day, she's 50, 5-0.
Big up. This the lady from Bingo?
Speaker 8 (01:26:57):
And you want to take her ass to Bingo and
she up here lying to two men about the baby?
Speaker 1 (01:27:01):
No, no, no.
Speaker 10 (01:27:02):
Only one. She only, she lied one. One of my
sisters lied. The one whose birthday is today.
Speaker 5 (01:27:08):
Uh-huh.
Speaker 10 (01:27:09):
He lied. But at the same time, that's going to
come out when that's going to come out anyway.
Speaker 4 (01:27:16):
Why are your sisters like so much?
Speaker 5 (01:27:20):
Like, what's her best friend want to assist her?
Speaker 4 (01:27:22):
Both of them.
Speaker 1 (01:27:25):
That's why y'all in bingo now because y'all was hoes
back in the day. So y'all want to let y'all
like a nice, slow lifestyle.
Speaker 9 (01:27:30):
Oh, God.
Speaker 10 (01:27:32):
I didn't lie about my baby daddy. I didn't lie
about my baby daddy. And I never lied. I never lied,
not one time. And I may have. I was not
sure about two of them, but I never lied.
Speaker 5 (01:27:42):
I told both of them.
Speaker 4 (01:27:43):
Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 10 (01:27:44):
Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 1 (01:27:46):
You said you was a hoe back in the day.
Can you tell me what constitutes a hoe? How did
you know you was a hoe?
Speaker 10 (01:27:52):
Oh, I was very scared.
Speaker 4 (01:27:54):
That's a long story.
Speaker 5 (01:27:56):
Charlotte, how much time you got, Charlotte?
Speaker 9 (01:27:57):
I was having fun.
Speaker 10 (01:27:59):
I was giving it up. I was having fun. But
I respected myself because I wasn't lying to anybody.
Speaker 6 (01:28:04):
That's right.
Speaker 10 (01:28:05):
I was cute. But I can't be respectable. And at
the end of the day, it's wrong all the way around.
Speaker 11 (01:28:14):
It is.
Speaker 10 (01:28:14):
It's going to hurt the child. I don't know my dad.
So that's really messed up. My mom passed away. So
I will never know that unless I take DNA tests
and things like that. But to see that it happens
in my family, to see that it happens around, it
is not right. Like, the child doesn't get messed up
at the end of the day.
Speaker 6 (01:28:33):
That's right.
Speaker 10 (01:28:33):
Because it's not fair to them.
Speaker 3 (01:28:35):
So, Monique, you were so promiscuous back in the day.
You can't get money from anybody for your sister's birthday.
Speaker 4 (01:28:39):
You had your own money.
Speaker 13 (01:28:40):
No.
Speaker 11 (01:28:41):
No.
Speaker 10 (01:28:41):
Well, actually, actually, I just was trying to go big
up on the birthday club. I watch you guys all
the time. And the thing is, just bottom line, I
have a daughter. She's at Alcorn State University. I pay
her my portion of her tuition. I pay for her food. Like,
that's why I don't have extra money.
Speaker 4 (01:28:59):
I'm going to tell you something.
Speaker 10 (01:29:00):
I'm not on welfare. I don't get food stamps. So, like,
I literally take care of my daughter.
Speaker 1 (01:29:05):
Let me tell you something. Hey, hey, I'm about to
send something to Zelly number five.
Speaker 4 (01:29:09):
You know why? Because I like an honest hoe. That's
her son.
Speaker 5 (01:29:12):
You still be trying to get money to her.
Speaker 2 (01:29:14):
Zelly number five is her son.
Speaker 5 (01:29:15):
See, Zelly number. I like your game.
Speaker 4 (01:29:19):
You called back.
Speaker 5 (01:29:20):
You didn't convince him. Now he about to come up
out of that pocket. That's right, girl.
Speaker 3 (01:29:24):
That's how she did it.
Speaker 5 (01:29:25):
And she did it without using the poop. Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:29:28):
Oh, it's Velly.
Speaker 5 (01:29:29):
Oh, goddamn, girl.
Speaker 10 (01:29:34):
Velly. But he made it for me. That's why I
was saying he made it for me. That's why it
sounds like it's a rapper. But my son made my
cash app for me.
Speaker 6 (01:29:43):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (01:29:43):
Hold on.
Speaker 1 (01:29:44):
Don't hang up on her yet. I want to make
sure this is the right one. Oh, Monique Flowers Darden.
Speaker 3 (01:29:48):
That's her.
Speaker 5 (01:29:49):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (01:29:49):
Why you look like that? Let me see.
Speaker 5 (01:29:50):
Let me see.
Speaker 4 (01:29:50):
Let me see.
Speaker 3 (01:29:51):
Why you look like that? She said she was pretty.
Speaker 4 (01:29:54):
Why you laughing? Now I got to come over there
and see.
Speaker 5 (01:29:57):
Nobody.
Speaker 4 (01:29:57):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
No, Monique just lived. Monique, Monique, God bless you, Monique.
I'm about to send you a couple dollars for lunch, Monique.
Speaker 4 (01:30:03):
That's what's up, man. Okay? No, for real.
Speaker 10 (01:30:05):
I appreciate you guys. Even if you didn't, I wanted
to call back to just say, because I hadn't talked
to my sister since our grandmother died. I went and
took care of my great-grandmother. She was 101 years old.
She died on Christmas.
Speaker 5 (01:30:17):
Oh, that's what's up. That is amazing. She lived like
the biblical years.
Speaker 4 (01:30:21):
Not the grandmother, not a hoe.
Speaker 5 (01:30:22):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (01:30:23):
She was.
Speaker 5 (01:30:23):
She was married five times.
Speaker 4 (01:30:26):
Grandmother was a hoe.
Speaker 17 (01:30:28):
She was married five times, she said.
Speaker 6 (01:30:30):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (01:30:31):
You're my great-grandmother. No, no, she's not a hoe. She
got married five times.
Speaker 5 (01:30:34):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (01:30:35):
Jack's put a ring on that. That's right, that's right.
Speaker 5 (01:30:37):
Jack, that's all I'm saying. You're still tricking when you're married. Hmm.
Speaker 3 (01:30:40):
She said her grandma was a hoe, her mom was
a hoe, her sister was a hoe.
Speaker 4 (01:30:43):
A generation that come from.
Speaker 5 (01:30:44):
A long line of hoes.
Speaker 6 (01:30:45):
Bye, baby daddy.
Speaker 4 (01:30:46):
Monique, we gotta go. You know what's so crazy?
Speaker 1 (01:30:47):
I started to put, in Cash App, I started to
put for hoeing to be funny, and then I'm like,
hell no, my wife's not.
Speaker 6 (01:30:54):
Stop, baby.
Speaker 5 (01:30:55):
You're goddamn right. You better not. You better not.
Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
You better not.
Speaker 9 (01:30:58):
Dumbass.
Speaker 3 (01:30:59):
If Hoan is in the family.
Speaker 2 (01:31:00):
It is.
Speaker 3 (01:31:01):
Obviously it is.
Speaker 4 (01:31:05):
But you know what?
Speaker 5 (01:31:06):
Y'all ever seen Paper Soldiers?
Speaker 6 (01:31:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:31:08):
She look like Birdie from Paper Soldiers.
Speaker 1 (01:31:10):
You talking about Smokey the Comedian?
Speaker 5 (01:31:14):
Yeah. Ron Eddington. That's what she look like.
Speaker 16 (01:31:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:31:17):
Thank you, Monique.
Speaker 4 (01:31:17):
We just joking with you.
Speaker 5 (01:31:18):
Back in the day, she was probably really getting it.
Speaker 4 (01:31:20):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (01:31:21):
She probably look good.
Speaker 3 (01:31:22):
She says she retired.
Speaker 4 (01:31:23):
She don't vote no more. She do look just like
Smokey the Comedian, man. You know Smokey, right?
Speaker 5 (01:31:29):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:31:29):
I know exactly who you talking about.
Speaker 6 (01:31:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:31:31):
What happened to Smokey?
Speaker 3 (01:31:32):
Where's Smokey at?
Speaker 5 (01:31:32):
God bless him.
Speaker 4 (01:31:33):
Who's the Smokey, man? I don't know.
Speaker 11 (01:31:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:31:35):
I haven't seen Smokey in a long time.
Speaker 4 (01:31:36):
Smokey Suarez.
Speaker 5 (01:31:37):
The Ron Eddington is your name. All right.
Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
When we come back, we got the latest with Lauren.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (01:31:43):
Good morning. Oh, my God. She looks just like Smokey Suarez.
For real, man. She looks just like Smokey.
Speaker 3 (01:31:48):
Well, let's get to the latest now.
Speaker 5 (01:31:50):
Lauren becoming a street fit.
Speaker 4 (01:31:51):
Till I.
Speaker 9 (01:31:52):
Till I.
Speaker 12 (01:31:53):
She gets it from somebody that knows somebody.
Speaker 4 (01:31:55):
She gets the details.
Speaker 5 (01:31:57):
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
and everything.
Speaker 4 (01:32:00):
She be having the latest on this.
Speaker 2 (01:32:03):
The latest with Lauren La Rosa.
Speaker 1 (01:32:05):
Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she
have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 5 (01:32:08):
What was the latest?
Speaker 3 (01:32:09):
Brought to you by Top Dog Law.
Speaker 2 (01:32:11):
On The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 5 (01:32:12):
So what's the mean?
Speaker 4 (01:32:13):
Top Dog Law.
Speaker 17 (01:32:14):
So we reported this story about Tupac's murder trial and
Keefie D being found guilty at the top of the show.
I just received a statement on behalf of Tupac's family.
So they won't be doing any interviews until after the sentencing,
but they want to.
Speaker 3 (01:32:29):
What family members?
Speaker 17 (01:32:30):
This is so this is on behalf of Moprim Shakur,
who is Tupac's brother and his sister. I don't know
how to pronounce her name, so I don't want to
get it wrong. But it says, above all, we honor
Afeni Shakur, a mother whose strength and unshakable belief in
her son's truth carried this fight long before any of
us knew where it would lead. The family of Tupac
Amor Shakur is elated and relieved by today's verdict. We
(01:32:52):
would like to thank the jury for the thoughtful way
they fulfilled their duty and carefully listened to all of
the evidence. Our deep appreciation goes to our family and friends.
They want to extend gratitude to the marshals and the advocates.
They say while this verdict is decades in the making,
this is not the end of the story. Tupac's legacy
and impact on the world lives on and we will
continue to do everything we can to keep.
Speaker 5 (01:33:12):
His spirit alive.
Speaker 3 (01:33:13):
Ashe, Ashe.
Speaker 10 (01:33:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:33:15):
All right, y'all. So I want to shift gears a bit.
So Mary J.
Speaker 17 (01:33:18):
Blige, she participated in a commercial with a company called Suno.
And they're talking about a new product that they have
that uses AI to help creators create and produce songs.
And she's getting some pushback for it. Let's take a
listen to Mary J. Blige in a commercial. Now, for context,
she's sitting in a studio and they're playing her music
(01:33:39):
that was used with this product.
Speaker 5 (01:33:41):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 4 (01:33:42):
So it is a tool that.
It's crazy. You like it?
Speaker 1 (01:33:58):
It's dope.
Speaker 13 (01:33:59):
I just process because I don't know what the hell
y'all talking about.
Speaker 4 (01:34:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:34:03):
So I like to learn what you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (01:34:04):
No, I get it.
Speaker 3 (01:34:05):
Now it's like, ah, okay, this is pretty dope.
Speaker 5 (01:34:08):
We can play with it more and learn more of
everything that's going on. For sure. It's pretty dope.
Speaker 8 (01:34:12):
Why are we made and married? This is on brand
for her. She don't like people anyway.
Speaker 5 (01:34:16):
This is great. She ain't got to work with nobody.
Speaker 3 (01:34:18):
She's an artist. And the fact that she.
Speaker 5 (01:34:20):
There's a lot of artists that are coming out and
saying that this is taking over.
Speaker 12 (01:34:23):
They don't like AI taking over artistry and creating their
own music and their own sound.
Speaker 3 (01:34:27):
Because now you don't need... actual person you.
Speaker 1 (01:34:29):
Can just exactly how do you know that though like
i don't know why people don't have conversations with these
songwriters these artists these producers because i'm like mary i
have no idea what this technology is but it sounds
like she's in the studio as a human using this
technology to enhance whatever it is like i don't understand
why we don't have more conversations with these producers and
artists instead of just jumping out.
Speaker 4 (01:34:48):
The window and saying you're using ai to replace you what.
Speaker 17 (01:34:52):
I just don't understand why AI can't be one of
them things to teach his own.
Speaker 5 (01:34:55):
If she wants to do it, let her. If she doesn't,
it's fine, too.
Speaker 4 (01:34:59):
I don't know nothing about it. I don't know what
they're using it for. I have no idea.
Speaker 12 (01:35:01):
I think people are mad because people are using the
artist that came out that's a full AI artist, right?
That has number one records and on the charts and
all that and is taking away they feel from artists
that are really good.
Speaker 2 (01:35:15):
That's what people are thinking, though.
Speaker 5 (01:35:17):
Okay. Well, listen... I know that that has happened, but
that's not everybody.
Speaker 8 (01:35:22):
I mean, we do got producers that actually have AI artists,
but we also, like I heard you say Charlotte, like,
I mean, I don't know, like a few days ago
where a few weeks ago where you was like, yo,
what is it? Maybe it can help them improve skills
or something like, how are they using it?
Speaker 5 (01:35:35):
Maybe it works for them in a certain way.
Speaker 8 (01:35:38):
It's not just solely relying on AI because AI do
what you tell it to do. It has to work
for you phonetically, sonically, whatever, but.
Speaker 1 (01:35:47):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (01:35:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:35:48):
I have no idea what pseudo is.
Speaker 5 (01:35:50):
How you make it work for you. Make you money.
Speaker 17 (01:35:51):
A lot of people are going to be trying to
figure it out now, though, that, you know, this whole
thing is beginning to pick up with Mary J.
Speaker 13 (01:35:56):
Blige.
Speaker 8 (01:35:56):
But I don't think she's going to give a damn
about nobody getting mad about it.
Speaker 5 (01:35:59):
It's like, whatever, y'all. I do what I want to do.
Speaker 4 (01:36:01):
Yeah, Mary fine. She survived the crispy chicken commercial. She'll
be able to survive this. Jesus.
Speaker 5 (01:36:04):
She hates when people bring that up. She hate when
people sing it. She said, yeah, that's not right.
Speaker 4 (01:36:09):
And you know what's so crazy about that crispy chicken commercial?
Speaker 6 (01:36:11):
What?
Speaker 4 (01:36:12):
It's her bop now.
Speaker 5 (01:36:13):
Ain't it?
Speaker 4 (01:36:13):
Boy, y'all hated it back then. Boy, that song is
a bop now.
Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
I loved it back then.
Speaker 3 (01:36:16):
It's always been a bop.
Speaker 5 (01:36:17):
You know how many chicken rams?
Speaker 4 (01:36:18):
It's always been a bop.
Speaker 5 (01:36:19):
Especially the beginning part when she say, you said it
was in a chicken wrap. I used to walk around
saying that all day. I did not care. Lord have mercy.
Speaker 10 (01:36:26):
All right, y'all.

being on the Wu-Tang series and a ton of other
shows that he did to just diving into and investing
in himself. And the play got picked up for a tour.
So congratulations to him. And please go get tickets and

Speaker 3 (01:38:02):
We are The Breakfast Club. Now, you guys have a
great day.
Speaker 12 (01:38:06):
I don't know what the weather's going to be later on.
It's supposed to be rain, but I don't know how
bad it's going to be. I'm supposed to be going
to the U.S. Open today, but I don't know how
the weather's going to be.
Speaker 5 (01:38:12):
Oh, damn. So they don't, like, cancel that for the
day if it starts raining?
Speaker 4 (01:38:16):
That's a good question. Is it the U.S.
Speaker 6 (01:38:17):
Closed?
Speaker 7 (01:38:19):
If it rains?
Speaker 3 (01:38:20):
I don't know. That is a good question.
Speaker 12 (01:38:22):
I know they have rain delays and things like that,
but I don't know how bad it's going to be today.
Speaker 5 (01:38:26):
That's the big event.
Speaker 9 (01:38:27):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (01:38:27):
All right.
Speaker 4 (01:38:28):
Listen, I want to tell everybody, make sure you go.
Speaker 1 (01:38:30):
Go and RSVP for my sixth annual Mental Wealth Expo.
It is happening at the Joe and Diane Bloom Wellness
and Events Center in Newark.
Speaker 4 (01:38:38):
New Jersey on October 10th. Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:38:41):
This year we are focusing on nothing but action. We're
going from awareness to action.
Speaker 6 (01:38:46):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:38:46):
This year is all about solutions and we're bringing workshops
and tools and real strategies to support your mental wellness journey.
And it is a free event open to all ages.
We'll be announcing the lineup real soon. Just go to
mentalwealthexpo.com and RSVP to be there. And we'll see you
on World Mental Health Day at the Joe and Diane
(01:39:06):
Bloom Wellness and Adventure Center. in Newark, New Jersey, okay?
Free event open to all ages. Now, the positive note
is simply this. With each passing year, I tend to
care less what people think of me, so... I have
stopped wearing masks for different people and learned to be
me all of the time, okay? One of the best
parts of growing older is realizing you don't need a
different version of yourself for every person you meet. Letting
(01:39:26):
go of the mask and becoming comfortable with who you
are brings a different kind of freedom that approval never can.
Speaker 4 (01:39:32):
Are you comfortable being the same you everywhere? I hope so.
A salute to my people over at The Healing Guide, man.
And we'll see you tomorrow. Breakfast Club, bitches!
Speaker 3 (01:39:42):
We all finished or y'all done? Woke up, woke up,
wake you up. Wake that ass up.
Speaker 2 (01:39:47):
Program your alarm to Power 105.1 on iHeartRadio.
Woke up, woke up, wake you up, wake you up,
wake that ass up, program your alarm to power 105.1
on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning USA!
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Speaker 4 (00:16):
y'all feel out there?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
I feel blessed, black, and highly favored. Happy to be here.
Another day to serve our beautiful listeners.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Good morning. How you feeling, Jess?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
I'm great.
Speaker 5 (00:28):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
I'm good. I'm good.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
I'm good. What's up, Sharla?
Speaker 4 (00:30):
I am blessed, black, and highly favored. I'm going to
tell you something, man.
Speaker 6 (00:32):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
We have to reroute ourselves when we come in the
building now because they're doing, you know, work, right?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Renovation. Correct.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
It's impossible to walk in here and not be a
little winded.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Be slightly sweaty. You know what I mean? Just a
little glaze. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Not like perspiring, but just a glaze. Just a little,
you know, a little touch up. A little take a
little napkin and dab.
Speaker 7 (00:54):
Dab.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It takes a little bit.
Speaker 8 (00:56):
Because the girls got on makeup, so it's like, whoa.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's a little extra. It's
a little extra.
Speaker 9 (01:01):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
We got to go through it for a while, too.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Yeah, probably a year.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
If we had 15 minutes, you know, to just woosah
before the show, it'd be different.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
But our woosah is when the show starts.
Speaker 6 (01:14):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
It's not our fault. It's a 6-12. It's not like
we don't try to get here at a decent time.
There was traffic, right?
Speaker 3 (01:21):
There was an accident this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So that took a little bit. And, you know, we
got in when we got in.
Speaker 5 (01:25):
And there's always construction going on in New York. It's
a lot.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
It's a lot. It's always a lot.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
It's a lot.
Speaker 10 (01:31):
Damn.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Good morning, y'all. We're here. We're here live with Blessings.
It's a great thing.
Speaker 11 (01:35):
That's nice.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
We got a special guest joining us this morning.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Oh, man.
Speaker 12 (01:38):
Skillababy will be joining us. His new album, The Price
of Fame, is out right now.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
I love Skillab.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
So we're going to be talking to Skillababy, Detroit's own.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
That was a great conversation we had with Skillababy, man.
I can't wait for y'all to hear it.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
Skillababy is a.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
I like watching the maturation of human beings. You know
what I'm saying? Especially the maturation of black men.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (01:56):
You know?
Speaker 3 (01:56):
It's a salute to the brothers.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Because them young brothers deal with a lot, man. You know,
there is no manual for this. Like, you know, when
you come from the environments that these brothers come from
and then achieve the levels of success that they do,
there's no manual that tells you how to do this right.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
You know? And there's no.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Manual to tell other people how to react to you.
Because a lot of times, it's not you that change.
It's everybody around you.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
That's right.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (02:18):
Yeah, we're going to be talking about all that in
the latest with Keefy D and Lil Durk. There were
so many updates with that, so we'll be breaking that down. And,
of course, we've got front page news next with Mimi.
She'll be joining us. You see, I'm still a little
tired because I have to get my ass in this bitch.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
I know.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
I told you. This is our woosah period. That's it.
Speaker 11 (02:35):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
And get it off your chest.
Speaker 9 (02:37):
800-585-1051.
Speaker 12 (02:37):
If you need to vent, you can hit us up
right now.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
What are we starting the show with?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
I don't know. Something to send them kids back to school.
I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Oh, this is Skilla Baby right here.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
This is Thick One. Yeah, Thick One, Skilla Baby, 4-2-Dub.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Thick One?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah, Thick One.
Speaker 12 (02:50):
Oh, first it said Thick One, then you said Thick One.
I'm still tired, man. I had to run up in
this building today.
Speaker 9 (02:55):
800-585-1051.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Get it off your chest. Front page news is next, y'all.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I can't put my.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I can't, you know, place a guaranteed bet on this.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
But I think Skilla Baby want the thick one.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
He did. Yeah. He mean like fat girls? Like he
like the cushioners?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
I was thinking about that because some of y'all out
there think you think you thick, but you really fat.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I don't think he meant overweight. I think he meant thick.
Speaker 5 (03:15):
Well, you can be fat and not overweight.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
And you can be thick and be fat because some
of y'all 5'6, 180 and your BMI is 29.0 and
that places you in the overweight category.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
My bad, Evie. You know what? That's not true.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I can be fat, but not overweight. You're right.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
You're right. I'm sorry. I'm thinking about the BMI chart,
and you're right. You're right. Nobody's supposed to be fat.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Sorry. Shout out to fat listeners and the skinny listeners.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
They don't like fat.
Speaker 5 (03:38):
Oh, the listeners of size.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
There you go. Listeners of size. There you go.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Morning, everybody.
Speaker 12 (03:43):
We are The Breakfast Club. That was 4-2-Doug. Skilla Baby's
going to be joining us next hour.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
What's up, Mimi?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
What's up?
Speaker 13 (03:50):
Good morning, everyone. How y'all doing this morning? Good morning.
So we started this morning in New York where a
woman is unfortunately dead after police say she randomly stabbed
two people in the middle of Times Square, killing one
of them. So police say the 49 year old woman,
she first attacked a 68 year old man who had
just gotten off the subway and was waiting for to
(04:13):
cross the street with his wife. Investigators say she pulled
out two knives from her bag and stabbed him in
the stomach. She then continued through Times Square where police
say she stabbed a 32-year-old woman also in the stomach. Now,
that woman later died. The man survived and he is
now in stable condition. Police say the woman then headed
(04:34):
toward the NYPD substation in Times Square, still armed with
both knives. Officers confronted her and repeatedly ordered her to
drop the weapons. Let's listen to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
Speaker 14 (04:47):
The officers engaged the woman in dialogue for four minutes
and gave her numerous commands to drop the knives, which
she refused. During the encounter, she told the officers, quote,
I'm not dropping anything. I would rather kill both of you.
The subject began waving the knives and advanced towards the officers.
(05:10):
Multiple officers discharged tasers, which proved to be ineffective, and
the subject continued to advance towards our officers with the knives.
Two officers then discharged their service weapons, striking the subject.
Speaker 6 (05:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (05:29):
Um, police say she had a documented mental health history.
They do not believe this was connected to any terrorism.
The NYPD is now investigating the shooting and officials say
body camera video will eventually be released.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
It is interesting, right?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Because it always feels like there's a time of year
when you're driving through New York City and you see
a lot more mentally ill people than usual. Yeah, for sure.
It's like they open the door or something. I don't
know what it is, but there's always a season where
it seems like there's a lot more mentally ill people
walking down the street, yelling, screaming, and there's... What are
you supposed to do in that situation? She killed somebody.
She stabbed another person. Police tried to de-escalate it to
(06:06):
the best of their ability. What else were they.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Supposed to do?
Speaker 12 (06:09):
And I wonder if there are any police officers heading
to work this morning. And I know you've probably seen
the video. what would you do in that situation because
I see a lot of people saying they didn't have
to kill her right because when they shocked her she
was running towards them but she wasn't running fast it
wasn't like a it was like the run was like
an 80 year old woman running like anybody could have
went back but she did have two knobs yeah but
(06:30):
she did have two knobs in her hand but it
was just I swear she was running.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
Like this.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
They could have moved out the way.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
So I'm just curious.
Speaker 12 (06:39):
I mean, they told her to put the knife down.
She was coming towards them, but she was mentally off.
You could tell she was mentally off. I'm just curious
if there's any police officers that's going to work this
morning or leaving work.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Listen, I thought about that, too. The first thing I thought, man,
they didn't have to kill her. And I still don't
think they had to kill her.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
But, I mean, when you.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Hear the cause and the effect and you hear the
whole circumstances that led to the shooting.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Hey, man. Yeah, I didn't see the video.
Speaker 12 (07:07):
Yeah, I'm not judging, but I'm just curious that if
another way would have been able to.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Right, to restrain her.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
She stabbed somebody.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
She did.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
She killed another person.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
She did.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
She got two bloody knives. She tells you she's going
to kill you. They're shocking her. They're trying to de-escalate her.
Speaker 5 (07:20):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
No, I understand. I totally understand.
Speaker 12 (07:22):
I'm not saying that what they did wasn't justified, but
I'm just curious. because the way that she was coming
towards him it wasn't like aggressive like anybody could.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Have moved but it was after she had already taken
a light.
Speaker 12 (07:32):
I know my 80 year old mom could have moved
out the way like she was moving that slow so
I'm just curious I'm not saying it's justified I'm not
saying that the police were wrong I'm just saying you
said your 80 year old mom could have moved out
the way my 80 year old mom definitely would have
got out of that way did you see the lady
running towards him which one the one that was getting
tased No, I said my 80-year-old mother would have been
able to get out the way.
Speaker 5 (07:50):
To get away from her.
Speaker 12 (07:51):
Get away from the lady stabbing somebody. She was running
so slow. That's what I was saying.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (07:55):
I don't know. And moving on really quickly, for all
of our truck drivers listening this morning, there's another major
crackdown happening in your industry. So the Trump administration. is
going after commercial driver-licensed schools. It says are putting unqualified
drivers on the road. So Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says
more than 100 schools have now been shut down. Let's
(08:17):
listen really quickly.
Speaker 15 (08:19):
What we are announcing is an emergency executive shutdown of
110 driving schools. So these are driving schools that account
for 5,000 of the violations.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
For English proficiency.
Speaker 15 (08:37):
You have to speak English to operate a commercial motor vehicle.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I didn't create that rule. President Trump didn't create that rule.
Speaker 15 (08:44):
That rule has been in place for decades.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
We have schools that know.
Speaker 15 (08:48):
The rule and still pass people through their school who
can't speak the language.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
I did not know that.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
The reason why I know that is because of my husband,
but there.
Speaker 5 (08:55):
Are a great number of truck.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
Drivers in Mexico who speaks English and not Spanish.
Speaker 5 (09:01):
Thank you.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
He don't speak Spanish?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
No, he does not. He's black first.
Speaker 8 (09:04):
Now listen, there are a wide number of drivers who
do not speak English and they can't read the signs.
A lot of them don't even know not to go
under bridges that are lower than their truck.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 13 (09:19):
And that's the point right there, Jess. That's the point
right there. Duffy says that they've also shut down another
160 driving schools for violations, including having unlicensed instructors. So therefore,
you would have a teacher who's not even licensed teaching
another driver how to get their license.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
And so.
Speaker 13 (09:36):
They said that they shut down those 160 schools. But,
you know, having these many truck drivers not on the
road will impact all of us. They said about 26,000
commercial truck drivers have been taken off the road. So that,
you know, someone bringing your groceries, your packages, the gas
headed to your local station, you know, at some point
(09:56):
we will feel some of this.
Speaker 5 (09:58):
It definitely hurts the industry. for sure.
Speaker 8 (10:00):
And then it messes up all the legit schools and
all the, you know, all the drivers who can speak
English and, you know, who are bilingual and trilingual and
all those things.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
It's bad.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
You can tell what you and Crispin Pillow talking about.
Speaker 5 (10:13):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
You know what?
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Damn, that's crazy. I happened to know this before Mimi
spoke this, so shut up.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
Crisp's like, yeah, man, you know... My cousin, Alexaron. What's
his name? Alexaron? Alexaron.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
What is that?
Speaker 10 (10:23):
Alvarado.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
You should have said Alejandro. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
You do have a cousin named Alvarado who drives trucks.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
See?
Speaker 4 (10:28):
He can't speak English.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
In Mexico, though, so shut up. He don't need to
speak English, so shut up. All right, y'all.
Speaker 13 (10:35):
Well, coming up at 7, one man is back behind bars.
And wait until you hear what keeps getting him arrested.
We're going to talk about it in the next hour.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
Hello, who's this?
Speaker 4 (12:25):
If you wanted to.
Speaker 9 (12:26):
Hey, this is Derek from Georgia.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
How you doing?
Speaker 7 (12:31):
I'm good.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Shut up.
Speaker 9 (12:33):
I am blessed, black, and highly favored.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
How are you guys this morning? I'm good.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Get it off your chest, brother.
Speaker 6 (12:39):
Okay, listen.
Speaker 9 (12:39):
I'm annoyed this morning because I'm seeing all this coverage
with Vlad and Drink Champs. Sean, let me ask you
a question. Is Drink Champs still a part of.
Speaker 6 (12:50):
Black Effect Network? Yes, sir.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 9 (12:53):
Okay, I'm having a problem with Black running his mouth
all over Nori and Drink Champs, stating a whole bunch
of unfounded information that I feel like if he's not
a part of Black Effect, he has no idea what
he's talking about. And I'm at this point now, I'm
getting annoyed with this guy because he thinks he's got
(13:15):
some cachet. because of this whole thing with the Tupac
thing and the Keefie D interview, and now the Keefie
D is going to sound guilty.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
He feels like he's invited.
Speaker 9 (13:25):
To the cookout forever, and I'm straight up annoyed with
this guy. He's really coming off as a culture vulture.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
At this point. I'm really annoyed with this dude. I
hope it's covered with Lauren.
Speaker 9 (13:38):
LaRosa in her news breakdown today. Maybe even Doc here today.
Maybe take it to Breakfast Club Court.
Speaker 8 (13:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
But something needs to be said about.
Speaker 9 (13:50):
What's going on here between Vlad and Norrie because I
feel like he's running his mouth crazy.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
No, he did.
Speaker 9 (13:58):
But he did in terms of refusing the interview. But
it's gone too far now. Somebody's got to step in
and call this nonsense out.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Somebody's got to step in.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
Shaw, I hope it's you.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
If not, take it to breakfast club court or something.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (14:12):
Somebody needs to step in here.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
Because this is getting ridiculous now.
Speaker 6 (14:16):
Because drink champs. is a part of the culture for.
Speaker 9 (14:20):
Real, for real. He's only hot because of these outlandish
energies that he gets with these wild rappers.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
And celebrities or whatever, but... I'm sorry. I feel like
a side needs to be chosen at this point because
this is noise. This is Drink Champs. This is history.
Speaker 9 (14:39):
He's got way more cachet in the culture than Vlad
can ever have.
Speaker 6 (14:44):
That's just my thought.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
We respect your opinion. Drink Champs is a very successful podcast.
Vlad TV is a very successful podcast. you know a
platform as well and i hope that you know both
of them can work out whatever differences they're having.
Speaker 12 (14:56):
I don't even know what the hell is going on
but i will say this though they are both part
of the culture right you know just because vlad is
white doesn't make it not part of the culture vlad
started off as a dj did the mixtape game and
i was doing the mixtape game a long time.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Ago so I hope both of them work it out.
I'm going to be honest. I just don't like the
way we talk to each other.
Speaker 5 (15:14):
What the hell happened?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I don't even know what happened. We be talking crazy
to each other. And it's like... I just don't like
the way we talk to each other.
Speaker 5 (15:23):
Like black people.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
No, just those individuals.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Oh, they ain't going back and forth.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
I don't like it. I don't like it.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
It's like calling each other out the name and all
of that because that.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
To me, only can lead to one thing.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
And I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
And I think that sometimes we think that because we're
adults that there's not consequences involved.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
To our actions.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
They're not consequences to our words just because it hasn't happened.
Just because you ain't gotten to a fight in a
long time don't mean that it can't happen.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
I just don't like the energy.
Speaker 12 (15:56):
But I also feel like It's the clicks and likes
which make people get more and more disrespectful, right?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
You know what I mean? Because you're not going to
say that in somebody's face, right?
Speaker 12 (16:04):
If y'all are crossing each other, there's no way, however
far you want.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
To go, you're not going to say that in somebody's face.
It's not going to happen. It's not going to happen.
I really don't know what happened.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
I just hope they work it out. I hope they
figure it out.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I hope so, too.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Get it off your chest.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
800-585-1051.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's
The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 13 (16:20):
We're on.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
This is your time to get it off your chest.
Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051. We want to hear
from you on The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (16:35):

Speaker 5 (16:39):
Good morning, Ms.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Flowers.
Speaker 13 (16:40):
Hi.
Speaker 10 (16:41):
You guys are beautiful. I'm calling to wish my sister
a happy 50th birthday today.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Oh, happy birthday.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Happy birthday, sis.
Speaker 9 (16:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 16 (16:51):
We haven't talked since... December 25th, our great-grandmother passed away.
Speaker 10 (16:56):
She was 101. Some things happened, and we haven't talked
since then, but I love my sister to death.
Speaker 16 (17:03):
She's my older sister.
Speaker 10 (17:04):
I want to shout out happy birthday. And put Tanisha
out there, so maybe I could take her to bingo
or something.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Bingo?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
It cost to go to bingo?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
She said she 55. In 2026, it's probably $ 20.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
55 is young.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
I know, but she probably like bingo.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
It cost to go to bingo?
Speaker 5 (17:21):
How much is it?
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah, you got to pay to get in because that's
how you get the prizes, right?
Speaker 16 (17:25):
Yeah, that's how you have to pay to get in.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Go out to church.
Speaker 10 (17:30):
You win big prizes, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Who charging for bingo? Where are you going that they
charging for bingo?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
The government.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
You got to charge for bingo.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
24th and Florence.
Speaker 10 (17:40):
We worked in Florence. My mom used to do it
back in the day. She passed away, so it's something
we keep for our birthdays. Right now, I can't afford
to take her.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I'd love to take her.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Y'all should be doing some bring your own whatever. Bring
your own food, alcohol. They shouldn't be charging nobody for
no damn bingo.
Speaker 4 (17:58):
Go ahead. Put your cash app out there. I said
they win the prizes, though.
Speaker 13 (18:01):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
If we win. They got bingo at casinos now, too.
Go ahead, Mama. Put your cash app out there.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Belly, B-E-L-L-Y.
Speaker 10 (18:11):
M-B-A is Deli Number.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Okay, Mama.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
And you guys, what's up?
Speaker 16 (18:19):
Hopefully, Charlamagne, I was hoping to see you type it
in so you can help me out.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I'm watching on Netflix, too. This is a different type
of thing.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
What is it?
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Deli Number. Deli Number.
Speaker 10 (18:31):
See, my son is the rapper, so he's Deli Number 5.
But I'm Mama, so I'm Deli Number.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
No, I'm not contributing to somebody's mixtape.
Speaker 10 (18:39):
No, you're not. My name is Monique Flowers, and I
stayed up so I can wish my sister happy birthday.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
Did she get a number?
Speaker 10 (18:45):
And to see you guys on Netflix.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
No, that's the name of it. It's Cash App.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Her Cash App is whatever that is.
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Her Cash App sign, Z-E-L-L-Y-N-E-N-T-R.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
Oh, I thought she was saying she had a Zell. Z-E-L-L-Y-N-T-R. No, Zelly.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
Zelly number is the Cash App.
Speaker 10 (19:00):
Zelly, yeah. Because my name is Monique Flowers.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
I'm going to be honest with you. My spirit ain't moved. Yeah, absolutely.
My discernment says no. And you know.
Speaker 5 (19:09):
Because she said she wanted to take her sister to
play bingo, honey.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
After she took the direct shot, like she just put
out there and then Charlamagne didn't respond. She's like, no, Charlam,
I'm talking to you.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
No, that's not a direct shot. She hears the thing
about me. I don't just give money just because. If
you see me giving money, it's because... God said, you know,
bless that individual.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
And your move. Yes.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Your move.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
That didn't move me at all.
Speaker 8 (19:30):
Well, she thought she was going to get us when
her grandmother died in December and her sister not talking
to her. And it's her birthday today and she wanted
to take her to bingo because it's $ 20 to get
in and she turned 55.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
That's what happened?
Speaker 6 (19:39):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Damn, I ain't hear a letter. All I heard was bingo.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Oh, you heard what it was.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
This is her grandmother past.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
But I'm going to choose.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Some things move you and you feel like it.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
Right.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
That's crazy. Don't ever look at me typing. To see
if I'm typing your cash in.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
And I'm always typing something.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
She said, I thought Charlamagne was going to pull his
phone out and type it in. I'm waiting for you
to type in Charlamagne.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
So you can send me something.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Not for bingo. Not for bingo.
Speaker 4 (20:01):
Not even bingo. God just didn't move me. Nah, for
me it.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Wasn't for bingo.
Speaker 5 (20:04):
Because it ain't for bingo.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
If you needed some food, you needed help with some bills,
I get it.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
I do everything through the Spirit. You know, sometimes it
might be bills and God don't move me.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
That's right.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
That's right. Because it might be your fault that you
couldn't pay this month.
Speaker 10 (20:16):
Something.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
It's up to you.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Not for bingo.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
It's on your spirit.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
I just want to let y'all know.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
I did not know it cost money to get bingo.
Speaker 12 (20:22):
If you charge $ 20 to get in for bingo, then
let's say bingo makes $ 3, 000, $ 4, 000, and they give it
back to the people.
Speaker 5 (20:28):
That's how you win the prize.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Goddamn bingo game, $ 4, 000. You don't win $ 1, 000, $ 4, 000.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
You might win $ 100 a game, $ 400 a game, $ 200
a game. Why do you think all them old people
were always there?
Speaker 5 (20:36):
Now I know. I thought they just liked to be around. Yeah,
they want to be around each other.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
And they got big old casinos now, too, so you
can go to a casino and play bingo.
Speaker 8 (20:43):
But obviously, if this is true, the pot gets bigger
the more people that come, the pot is bigger to win.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
So that's what's up.
Speaker 10 (20:49):
All right.

Yeah, so, well, 30 years later, we finally, well, possibly
finally have some closure for the family of Tupac because
there was a verdict announced yesterday in that trial. I
heard you mention Dirk this morning as well. So, we
got a lot that we're going to cover this morning.
We're going to get into some updates.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
All right.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
We'll get to that next.
Speaker 5 (21:13):

Speaker 5 (21:14):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
What you want to know? This is with Lauren LaRosa.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
Because you particularly are bringing the energy to mainstream radio,
the black radio.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
That source is trusting.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Did you hear that exclusive?
Speaker 17 (21:24):
Lauren, I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about
everything and everything.
Speaker 4 (21:28):

Speaker 5 (21:30):

Speaker 5 (21:33):
If little brown girls look at you and go, I
want to be like you.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
LL Cool B. Talk to me.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Good morning, guys.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
What's up, Laura?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
All right.
Speaker 17 (21:41):
Hey, so, okay, let's head over to Vegas. The Tupac
murder trial has been going down. This is 30 years
later after, you know, the killing of Tupac. And there
was a verdict yesterday.
Speaker 5 (21:53):
Keefie D., Dwayne Keefie D.
Speaker 17 (21:56):
Davis, was found guilty of plotting the drive-by shooting that
killed Tupac. He was convicted of murder with a deadly
weapon with the intent to promote and further assist a
criminal gang. So he now faces the possibility of spending
the rest of his life behind bars At 63 years old. Now,
they you could yesterday when they were doing the closing statements,
you could watch it live. And there was a moment
(22:16):
there's no audio to hear because you can't hear her.
But there was a moment where Tupac's sister, the camera
pans to her as they're reading the guilty verdict. And
she reaches back and holds like another family member's hand.
There's a reporter. There was a reporter inside the courtroom
that is reporting that, like, you know, she was crying
softly and it was very emotional.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
For the family.
Speaker 17 (22:33):
But prosecutors argued that Kifidi planned the shooting after Tupac's
entourage attacked his nephew, a few hours earlier at the
MGM Grand in Vegas following that Tyson fight.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
So we've heard this story.
Speaker 17 (22:46):
But what they point to specifically is the book that
Keefie D wrote.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
What they point to.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Is Keefie D telling everybody that he was involved in
the murder of Tupac Shakur.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
He deserved that one. He earned it.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
He definitely earned that one. He earned every bit of this.
Speaker 5 (23:01):
He deserved that one.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
He worked for it. He actually went out there and
worked hard for it.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
It took a long time, too.
Speaker 17 (23:06):
No, but look, they say, so it was the book.
Then you got their different interviews that they pointed to
throughout the trial. But then they said that in 2008,
when they were investigating the death of Biggie, right, they
went to him to ask some questions because he was
connected in some way to that.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Right.
Speaker 17 (23:22):
And when they're asking him questions, he began telling them
about details of Tupac's shooting that they say only someone
who was in that white car would have been able
to describe that. But they say over the years, things
did change with his stories. Like it wasn't as consistent,
but it was because he started trying to protect himself eventually,
but it was too late.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
He did a book.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
Multiple interviews.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
You appear in a TV documentary. You do a book
where you openly talk about orchestrating the shooting and supplying
the gun. You did numerous Vlad TV interviews as well
as podcasts.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Like, what are we talking about?
Speaker 7 (23:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
He earned that one. He deserved that one.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
He got it.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
He wanted it.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
He got it.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Did he do that interview under what they call it?
A proffer agreement?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Where they said that law enforcement promised him his statements
couldn't be directly used against him in court.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Surprise! Psych!
Speaker 5 (24:08):
He didn't know that it could be used in a
state trial. He had it all wrong. Yeah, that's when
they was asking him about the Biggie stuff. I don't know.
This man is crazy.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
He earned every bit of this.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
At the end of the trial, I don't know if
you've seen, did you hear what he was like? He
was like, all right, well, Your Honor, can I have
my stuff back? Can I have my laptop back and
my phone back? And I want to appeal.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
We like... What?
Speaker 5 (24:28):
What did he think the end game was going to be?
I mean, like, what did he expect?
Speaker 17 (24:33):
Well, on his side of it, they're basically arguing that, like,
the accounts and the things that he was saying doesn't
make him responsible for things. But when they were in
the trial, they were talking about, like, all the stuff
that they found in his house. Like it was low key,
like a shrine. Like he kept certain receipts. Like it
was just weird. He literally did it to himself. Um,
but do you guys think, I mean, it's all these
(24:54):
years later, but do you guys think that this finally
does give a Tupac's family a sense of peace?
Speaker 12 (25:00):
I mean, you would have to ask. Three people in
the car that was in the car that night are dead.
And now Keefie D is in jail.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
I mean, I'm sure.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Nothing brings your loved one back.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
Yeah, nothing at all. Even all these years later.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Because all you think about is what his life would
have been like the past 30 years. And you're constantly
reminded of him because he's such an iconic figure.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
So you'll never truly have, you know, peace.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
Yes.
Speaker 10 (25:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 17 (25:25):
Well, over on the West Coast to Dirk and that
trial also going down. I saw Dirk's dad. First of all,
outside of the court yesterday was just mayhem. I mean,
as it always has been. But yesterday seemed like just
a lot. But I saw Dirk's dad yesterday just asking for,
you know, prayers for Dirk as, you know, certain parts
of the case begin to rest their case. But one
of the things I was thinking about, I saw like
(25:46):
Dirk's assistant testified against him. And, you know, we have
all the other OTF members that were testifying against him
as well. But one of the things I was thinking
about was at this point, I mean, Charlamagne, you brought
this up, like how do they trust these people that
are on the stand, right? But if this is their
full case, right? And then they have these text messages
and these conversations that Brian Steele was like, blowing up
(26:07):
on the stand. What else is there to kind of
like hold dirt to at this point? Like, do you
guys think that he will walk away from this? Cause
in the beginning I didn't.
Speaker 12 (26:16):
Well, that's what law enforcement does, right? That's what their
job is. Their job is to take down the quote
unquote big fish, right? And, If it means turning people
that committed the crime, we've seen it with the mob
numerous times.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Now we're seeing it with this. Yesterday was his assistant.
Speaker 12 (26:29):
Assistant, you know, people have been saying that it's been
very damaging because he said that, you know, everything was
done because Dirk was the person.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
That said, do it.
Speaker 9 (26:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
That's what all of them have been saying, though.
Speaker 13 (26:39):
Right.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
But I don't think the assistant was necessarily a gang member.
He wasn't a tough guy.
Speaker 12 (26:44):
He was just a fan that became, I would assume,
an assistant.
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 17 (26:48):
But I guess my point is, is like, you know, if...
The witnesses and the people on the scene are all
that you have and nothing to corroborate with their.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
No evidence, no actual hard evidence?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
I mean, they're bringing evidence, but.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
How do you know they don't have no evidence? I
don't know.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
No, they do. Like, they've been bringing text messages in.
They've been, like, phone calls. They've been.
Speaker 17 (27:06):
They have been bringing evidence, but Dirk's team has been
doing a good job, in my opinion, of kind of, like,
destroying all the evidence that they're bringing, like, pointing out inconsistencies.
Speaker 5 (27:16):
There was, like, yesterday, I saw.
Speaker 17 (27:19):
Drew Finland, like his closing statement was like, one of
the people that was on the stand, he was, they,
they go through this whole thing about how Dirk is
this horrible person and Dirk, uh, paid for the murder
and all these things. But then at the end of it,
he's like, but then you took four of your family
members to go see him in concert.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
You know what I'm saying? So it's like, it's, It's
rocking back and forth. It's like a bit of a
reach with the evidence that they had.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
I wouldn't say it's a reach.
Speaker 17 (27:41):
I guess my question is, in the beginning of this,
I didn't think that Dirk would make it out of
this at all.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Now it's starting to change.
Speaker 17 (27:48):
I know we're only a few weeks in, but I
guess I'm asking, what else do they bring?
Speaker 5 (27:53):
How do they position it now?
Speaker 1 (27:54):
The worst thing about these cases, especially when you're just
watching the way that we're watching... You see the prosecutor
one day and you're like, I agree with them. Then
you see the defense one day and you're like, I
agree with them. Thank God none of us are on
the jury. Because it's the jury. The jury has to
sit there and listen to all the evidence, listen to
all the testimony, and then decide.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
We're not invested like that.
Speaker 5 (28:15):
We're not.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
We're just not.
Speaker 12 (28:17):
Even the gentleman that got killed, what the case is
all about, you just think about his family as well.
They said he was an innocent bystander, had nothing to
do with the beef.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
Rondo's cousin.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Yeah, his cousin.
Speaker 12 (28:27):
They had nothing to do with the beef, but This
case became more about less about finding out what happened
and getting in more about trying to take Dirk out
for murder for hire.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
You know what I mean? So I know it must
hurt the family as well.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
Both families.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Both families.
Speaker 6 (28:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
That's another thing, too. I don't know.
Speaker 17 (28:43):
But yeah, that's the latest for the hour. And the
next latest, we're going to head on over to Gary, Indiana,
with some really good news, because Beyonce is helping out
the people there.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
So we're going to bring it up.
Speaker 12 (28:53):
All right, we'll get to that next. We have front
page news. And then don't forget, Skilla Baby will be
joining us.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
So don't go anywhere. It's The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Good morning.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Morning, everybody.
Speaker 12 (29:01):
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
What's up, Mimi?
Speaker 13 (29:10):
Good morning, Envy, Jess, Charlamagne. How y'all doing this hour?
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Peace, Mimi.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Hey, girl.
Speaker 10 (29:14):
Hey.
Speaker 13 (29:15):
Hey, girl. Okay, so let me start this hour with
a story out of the DMV, well, the DMV area.
That's where a Virginia man has been convicted of murder
after opening fire on a group of teenagers who were
running through his neighborhood after a ding-dong ditch prank. So
the jury found Tyler Butler guilty of second degree murder
(29:36):
in the shooting of 18 year old Michael Bosworth Jr.
And the shooting happened around three in the morning. Now,
this happened last May, but he was just sentenced earlier
this week. Bosworth and his two friends, they have been
kicking and banging on a neighbor's garage door and then
running away as part of the prank. Then they realized
the police had been called. The teenagers took off. They
(29:59):
cut through the backyards, eventually climbing over a fence onto
Butler's property. Now, doorbell camera video played for the jury.
It shows Butler coming outside and firing 10 rounds. You
can see the boys running away. They're kind of banging
on the garage. And then here comes Butler. He fires
(30:19):
10 shots. His father says that he believes that he
said that his son believed that someone was trying to
break into their home and was protecting their family that night.
Let's listen to the father.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
He was waking out of his sleep.
Speaker 5 (30:33):
He didn't invite this behavior to our home.
Speaker 12 (30:35):
So here he is sitting incarcerated for protecting his own
life and his mom's life.
Speaker 5 (30:41):
And it's unjust.
Speaker 11 (30:42):
I just think it's unjust.
Speaker 12 (30:44):
I believe if he was other than a black man,
he probably wouldn't have been charged.
Speaker 10 (30:50):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
It's very unfortunate, right?
Speaker 8 (30:54):
Because you got a bunch of these pranks and they're
getting worse. And, you know, we see it every day
on the Internet. Like people are just they don't have
any respect.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
You know what I mean? I'm not justifying that this
man killed this teenager. He killed all three of them
or just.
Speaker 13 (31:08):
No, so one teenager was shot in the back and
he died. Another teenager was shot in the back, but
he survived and one got away.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
I think that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
The problem was that they was running away. Yeah. What
do they call it in Jersey? The castle law? What
is it? You can't shoot somebody in the back.
Speaker 12 (31:25):
When they're fleeing, you can't shoot them when they're fleeing.
Because they're no longer a threat. I don't know if
that's just the same in Virginia, though.
Speaker 4 (31:32):
Yeah, probably not.
Speaker 6 (31:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
But I think that's probably what it is, the fact
that they were running away.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
It's very, very sad.
Speaker 8 (31:38):
And kids should just refrain from doing these pranks that
does not involve people. It involves people you don't know.
Three o'clock in the morning, why you don't got your
ass in the.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
House, bro?
Speaker 4 (31:48):
And don't play with nobody's home.
Speaker 3 (31:50):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1 (31:51):
If you sleep, people's nerves be bad. Your anxiety already
through the roof. You hear all these stories about home
invasions and everything else. Don't play with somebody's house like that.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
So sad.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
Don't do that.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
And the sad thing is I understand, right?
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Right.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
I totally understand. You're at your house.
Speaker 12 (32:06):
Somebody comes to your house, whether they're fleeing or not,
the first thing you're thinking is somebody's trying to rob me.
What's going to make them? How do I know they're
not going to come back?
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Come back, right.
Speaker 12 (32:14):
So you're trying to eliminate the problem, right? But then
you also know that we all have been kids before.
We've all done stupid-ish before.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
But you don't know that they're kids anymore. Y'all be young.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
And you don't know that. Why do you keep saying y'all? Him, me.
Speaker 4 (32:26):
You're talking in hindsight. You don't know that these are kids. Exactly.
Speaker 5 (32:30):
And you don't know.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
When you hear late night prank, I'm just thinking it'd
be some kiddish.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Because you're hearing it after the fact. Think about laying
in your bed at three in the morning and you
just hear bang, bang, bang.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
You don't know.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
And you see three boys.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
I'm not saying that he knew it. I'm saying that these.
Speaker 12 (32:42):
Kids are stupid because we've all done stupid-ish before, right? So,
you know kids do stupid pranks. Like, we've all done
stupid pranks before, right? Stupid things to neighbors. Throw eggs
at neighbors' house and, you know, stupid stuff like that
at Halloween.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Stupid-ish. Ring bells and run, but.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
I ain't never did that type of stuff, man.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
3 o'clock in the morning with two of my homies.
Speaker 8 (33:01):
It's like, yo, there's too much going on for you
to be doing that.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
There was a lot happening.
Speaker 13 (33:06):
There was a lot. So he argued that he was
protecting his home and he acted in self-defense. The jury
rejected that argument and they convicted him of second-degree murder,
attempted second-degree murder, malicious wounding, and several firearm charges. He
is scheduled to be sentenced on October 30th.
Speaker 5 (33:23):
God damn, yo.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
I need to get back to tipping cows.
Speaker 5 (33:27):
Like something like that.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 8 (33:29):
Yes, that's what I did when I was in high school.
I tipped cows and I stole drugs and all that.
You tipped a cow before, Jess?
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Yes, I did.
Speaker 13 (33:37):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (33:38):
And really quickly, y'all.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
Sorry, I was.
Speaker 13 (33:41):
There's a story out of Southern California that I have
to tell you guys. So right here in L.A., there's
a serial butt sniffer.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
We don't have no more time.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
Maybe we got to wrap it up.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Not a serial butt sniffer. A serial butt sniffer, you guys.
You got to kill the baby coming.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
In, Mimi.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Go ahead, Mimi.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Thank you. Okay, wait.
Speaker 13 (34:01):
He's been arrested again. So the police say this 39-year-old,
Khalees Crowder, he was spotted inside two different stores last week.
He was crouching down, appearing to be what police call it,
sniffing someone out. And this is not the first time. Apparently,
this man is a registered sex offender who's been arrested
for similar behavior. One woman caught him. She reported him
and caught him and filmed him on TikTok. She says that,
(34:25):
you know, once she put it on TikTok, apparently a
lot of people came out saying that this has happened
to them. He claimed he was tying his shoes when
she caught him. And now he's He has been tracked
down again and arrested. And he is behind bars this morning.
But apparently this is a thing that has been happening
over a period of time out here.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
I'm giving him donkey of the day a couple times.
So he got arrested again.
Speaker 13 (34:45):
Yeah, he got arrested again. He needs to stay.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
In jail so he can sniff all the butts he wants.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
I was going to say he can have all the
butt he wanted, man.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
He might not like male butt. You know what I mean?
That's the thing.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
He don't got no choice now.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
Oh, I know he would love your ass 10 years ago.
Speaker 6 (34:58):
Stinky ass.
Speaker 13 (35:00):
All right, y'all. Well, that is your front page news.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
That's the butt he needed to sniff. Right.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
He would have sniffed Envy's butt when Envy wasn't washing
his ass. He would have never sniffed another butt. He
would have stopped.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
That's the problem.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
It wasn't 10 years ago.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
Turn him straight.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Stand him straight. Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
Thank you, Mimi.

Appreciate you. What got you on that pathway?
Speaker 11 (36:02):
I just feel like I'm supposed to be obedient right now,
so I can't really answer why. I don't ask God why.
I just feel like I should be obedient right now.
Speaker 9 (36:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (36:11):
When did you realize that he was talking to you? Like,
what was that moment?
Speaker 11 (36:16):
I don't think I have a moment. I think I
have multiple moments. God will be sending me signs and
I won't pay attention to them until after something wrong
had happened or my downfall or something like that.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
And I feel like.
Speaker 11 (36:28):
I just wasn't being obedient in the moment. And I
feel like now it's like, don't ask God why, just
do it.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
The album is called The Price of Fame, right?
Speaker 1 (36:37):
So what's something fame cost you that you didn't even
know you were going to have to pay for?
Speaker 11 (36:41):
Fame cost me my childhood. Just being young, wanting to
do fun stuff. My neighborhood, like, my comfortability. I had
to move, do stuff like that. Like, it be a
little stuff that people don't really notice that. It's just really,
fame was my word for success. I wanted my album
to be, like, recognizable to, like, the average person.
Speaker 4 (37:03):
I saw you said that.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
Yeah, you said that.
Speaker 11 (37:05):
I think, like, success, just chasing success just cost me
a lot. My friendships with people... Like I said, comfortability,
like everything for real, all the little stuff. Like I
don't even, I'm family oriented, but I don't have kids
or anything because I want to dedicate my life to
my kids when I have them. But like chasing success,
that could just.
Speaker 4 (37:25):
Be a lot.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
You've talked about you want this album to be like
healing for people.
Speaker 17 (37:29):
Do you feel like you were healed from some of
the things that you were maybe trying to escape or
like trying to figure out at this point and now
you want to pass it on?
Speaker 5 (37:35):
Or are you still figuring a lot of that out
for yourself?
Speaker 11 (37:37):
I think I'm still healing. I think I'm healed from
a lot of stuff, but I think I'm still healing.
But I think you never really heal from certain things.
And I had to mature enough to really realize that.
I ain't going to never heal from that. You know
what I'm saying?
Speaker 4 (37:51):
But I feel like the album helped me.
Speaker 11 (37:53):
I think it helped me like little stuff. I'm from
the ghetto, so I handle stuff a certain way. And
I feel like just doing this album and getting close
with God, it helped me get stronger as a person.
Because it's so easy for me to go do something.
him like some bull like you know but it was
hard for me to walk away from certain things and
certain lifestyles and everything because it's fun too.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
I saw you say too that you were trying to
present yourself as bigger than life but now you realize
relatability is more powerful so what were you hiding behind
that larger than life version of.
Speaker 11 (38:26):
Skilla I think just where I come from like Detroit
is a real flashy city and you get caught up
in big chains big houses big cars hood stuff like
Just traveling and doing the work and studying people's albums
and great people. I started figuring out that the hood
is a small demographic of people. There's more people that's
(38:48):
not doing good than doing good. That's why they call
them the one percenters or whatever they call them. It's
okay to be vulnerable. I used to think like, yeah,
I got to mask everything I'm going through and put
it into some diamonds. You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 9 (39:02):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 11 (39:03):
So I bought three Richard Millies, do all that type
of stuff. And it's like, it's not really high on
what I'm going through because money can't really, it can
mask it, but it can't.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
Really make it go away.
Speaker 11 (39:13):
Like I made a lot of money and it never
made what I really felt going away, go away.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (39:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
It's retail therapy. It's the same reason people escape by
drinking alcohol or doing drugs.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
You're just doing retail therapy.
Speaker 11 (39:27):
That's all.
Speaker 8 (39:28):
Now, you said you're a soldier, right? But people don't
actually see what's underneath all of that. Was there a
person that you ever showed that side of you?
Speaker 4 (39:37):
Like, far as what?
Speaker 5 (39:39):
Not the soldier. What's underneath the soldier? No, I don't
really be doing that.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
Even for a woman?
Speaker 11 (39:44):
Nope.
Speaker 5 (39:45):
Not the way your anthems for the ladies be going. Right.
Speaker 11 (39:48):
That's how I really feel, though. But I was raised
to be a protector and a provider. And my dad
was born in 1946. So he was from Mississippi. He
went to jail. So I always had a structured life.
I had to get up. Even if it's the weekend,
I can't sleep past 8 a.m. I got to make
my bed. So everything's structured for me. So I don't
really know how to be vulnerable with people. Like, I
(40:11):
talk to my manager, Rocky, sometimes. And we be talking
about what we go through and stuff. But it don't
be like break down and cry like, We be trying
to see how we gonna push through it. So I
don't really just be like, cry me a river. I
can't do that.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
I don't know how.
Speaker 5 (40:25):
But what about Nas EP'd this album, right?
Speaker 6 (40:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (40:28):
So you got Nas EP in the album. I know
you close to 50.
Speaker 17 (40:30):
Like, they've been through some real stuff and they're also, now,
I mean, they got success levels that I'm sure you see.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
You don't, not even with them?
Speaker 11 (40:37):
We talk about it, but you know what? When we
talk about trauma, we laugh. Like, we don't be trying
to dwell on it. We be like, yeah, we went
through that, but look where we're going. We don't be
on some Yeah, we got to dwell on this. It
might feel like a therapy session, but it's like everything
we say is positive. Even when I go through negative stuff,
I don't ask God why. I feel like my God
(41:00):
don't make mistakes. So I feel like, all right, I'm
going to push through it. Even when I got shot,
I was like, all right, I understand where I come from.
I understand my circumstances. I understand where I'm going. And
that was yesterday.
Speaker 4 (41:13):
You got shot last summer, right?
Speaker 7 (41:15):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
I think I read that you got shot three times
and they shot at the car like 20 something.
Speaker 11 (41:20):
Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 4 (41:21):
Damn.
Speaker 1 (41:22):
When something like that happens, everybody will be like, are
you good? But they mean physically. But how did that
impact you mentally? Mentally, it just put me in a
spot where I was dark. I was dark for a minute.
Speaker 11 (41:34):
And that's when I really, my faith started getting, I
tested my faith the most.
Speaker 4 (41:38):
Because I was.
Speaker 11 (41:38):
Dark and I really was going to get myself in trouble.
You know, because I just felt evil. But that's when
my faith was tested the most. And I feel like,
am I going to be obedient to myself or be
obedient to God? And I feel like that was when
my faith was tested. Like, one of the times my
faith was tested the most. Because I felt humiliated. I
felt broken. I felt let down. I felt like I
(42:02):
let myself down, all that type of stuff. Why do
you feel like you let yourself down? And why do
you feel humiliated? Because I know better.
Speaker 4 (42:09):
Oh, you mean the way you was moving?
Speaker 11 (42:10):
Yeah, like I know better. But I felt like in
the moments, like I'm bigger than the program, like, you know?
And I let myself down because I know it could happen.
I know what I be into. I know, like I said,
my surroundings, where I come from, and I know better.
That's how I let myself down because it's like, I
almost let my family down. Like, I could have died.
(42:32):
You know what I'm saying? I almost let my mama down. Like,
if something happened to me, their lifestyle changes drastically. You
know what I'm saying? We everything to each other. Even
if their lifestyle don't change, I'm almost... My mama take
pride in she want to leave before I leave.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (42:50):
And if I.
Speaker 11 (42:51):
like F that up then that's really me letting her
down and that's that's me letting God down that's me
letting a lot of people down because I feel that
life but some stuff I could have avoided you know what.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Was it just being being at the wrong place wrong
time like you didn't have to be there gotcha gotcha.
Speaker 11 (43:07):
You know what I'm saying like wrong place wrong time
wrong neighborhoods you know what I'm saying like you just
certain stuff you don't do when you do what I
do like and I had to understand that I always
be trying to act like I'm a normal person and
stuff but My career is not normal.
Speaker 5 (43:23):
Unlearning.
Speaker 13 (43:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
With all that good sense you got, I read that
you went back to the streets after being shot.
Speaker 11 (43:28):
You read what? Like, I went back to the streets
and did what?
Speaker 4 (43:31):
You just went back out there, like, days after being shot?
Speaker 11 (43:34):
But I did a concert.
Speaker 4 (43:35):
Oh, it was a concert.
Speaker 5 (43:36):
It was, like, two days after, right? Oh, okay, okay, okay.
But remember, that was reported, though. Like, he was, like,
he was on stage, like, a few days later. Yeah,
there was a s * * * out, too.
Speaker 17 (43:45):
That you did yeah you did the freestyle after where
you like talked about the shooting I remember that oh the.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
Way the way it was received to me I thought
you was just out there like you just went out
there to show people like I just stood yeah like
not stood but show.
Speaker 11 (43:54):
People I ain't scared nah nah I'm not slow I
ain't slow word nah I ain't slow so it was
a concert Yeah, it was a 4-2-Dubz concert.
Speaker 4 (44:07):
I just came out two days later.
Speaker 5 (44:09):
Yeah, because I remember calling you Bob Marley.
Speaker 11 (44:11):
I was like, oh, this is not like Bob Marley.
Because remember, he got shot.
Speaker 3 (44:14):
That s * * * went out there.
Speaker 5 (44:15):
It was performing again. Like, nothing ever happened, you know.
But nothing could keep him down.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
Why was that important for you to do?
Speaker 11 (44:21):
Because I don't want people to feel sorry for me.
I don't be on that. Also, like, I hate to
keep using this word. I don't like people feeling like
I'm weak in this situation. I always want to show.
And I got people... that's like little kids look up
to me all type of stuff so if i'm just
sitting in the hospital letting everybody think i'm i'm dead
(44:42):
or stuff like that that's selfish that's just me trying
to have people feel bad and get pity for what
like when i could show strength i could show perseverance
i could show all type of stuff.
Speaker 5 (44:52):
It's just that people care yeah for sure love you
you was in a sling like yeah we were sad
up here you look.
Speaker 1 (44:59):
Stronger on pretty v show letting everybody know that you
dealing with mental health issues right now letting everybody know
you not feeling your best right now that when I
see that I see a young man with.
Speaker 11 (45:11):
Scrimp when I see that have you ever been shot
no so if you ever God forbid but if you
ever get shot you gonna understand the emotions that come
through your body like it's not just one emotion you
be sad you be mad you be like happy you
made it through it you be it's everything rushing at
you at once so it If you ever notice somebody
(45:32):
that been shot, either turn them up or put them up. Like,
they either going to go in the house and hide
or they going to do something that's very drastic and
be like, oh, yeah, I'm better than that. You know
what I'm saying? It be different ways. It might be positive.
It might be negative. But either turn you down or
turn you up every time. If you ask anybody that
ever been shot.
Speaker 5 (45:51):
They'll tell you that.
Speaker 4 (45:52):
What do you think it did for you?
Speaker 11 (45:53):
I feel like it turned me up in a negative
way than a positive way. I had to. It tested
my strength and, like, Not, like, physically, like, spiritually, emotionally.
My emotions was higher than ever. Like, I've been shot
on two different occasions. First time, it made me more
of a gangster. But I was 23 years old. Second time,
(46:14):
it just made me reflect on life.
Speaker 2 (46:16):
Like, why?
Speaker 11 (46:16):
What's my purpose? Am I supposed to be a leader?
Am I supposed to be here?
Speaker 4 (46:21):
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 11 (46:22):
It just made me reflect on different things that I
was going through. Because getting shot wasn't a problem. It
was getting shot at a time where I felt like
I wasn't in the right space in my career. I
was going through it with females. I was going through
it with family. All these emotions was going through me
at once. And it wasn't even about getting shot. It
was like, man, this is the worst time I could
(46:44):
ever get shot. I had just took a loss.
Speaker 4 (46:46):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 11 (46:47):
So it was like, I lost money, family, friends, and
got shot. Now I'm feeling humiliated because now I feel
like everybody that went against me, they happy I got
shot for real. Like everybody could say they wasn't, but
it's like Oh, yeah, that's where you get all them
emotions going through it. At one time, and then you
be like, I want to do something to somebody. But
(47:07):
then it be like, am I going to obey God?
Do you remember that moment you heard God speak to you?
When he tapped you on that shoulder? Do you remember
exactly what that felt like?
Speaker 6 (47:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (47:15):
Me and him, we used to. This is how I
really made it through it. Like, I was in a
dark moment. I ain't going to say everything I was
doing in this dark moment. But one day, like, because
he going to support whatever I want to do for real.
He really going to support me. Whatever I want to do,
he going to. Even if he think it's wrong, he
going to. provide me with support but we was talking
on the phone and he was like i just had
told him like i'm gonna just go to the gym
(47:37):
then when i went to the gym i just was
locked in like i go three times a day i'm
doing 400 push-ups 200 pull-ups like everything changed my diet
last november to last like the middle of january I
had no bread, no sugar, no sex, and.
Speaker 4 (47:54):
Drunk all water.
Speaker 11 (47:55):
And I went to the gym like two or three
times a day, and it made me feel better than ever.
Speaker 5 (47:59):
It was clear.
Speaker 11 (48:01):
And I was praying in the sauna. Every day I'd
turn on a gospel song and pray in the sauna.
That's what really helped me.
Speaker 4 (48:07):
It was clear. And God gave you direct order.
Speaker 11 (48:11):
I stopped hurting.
Speaker 4 (48:12):
Not physically.
Speaker 11 (48:13):
Mentally, I just stopped hurting.
Speaker 4 (48:15):
I let all the hurt go.
Speaker 11 (48:17):
And I remember the moment when I stopped hurting, I
started praying for my enemies.
Speaker 4 (48:24):
That's powerful, man.
Speaker 1 (48:25):
Because, you know, I always say hurt people hurt people.
So when you stopped hurting, you didn't even want to
hurt nobody.
Speaker 5 (48:30):
It's crazy, though, right?
Speaker 17 (48:31):
Because you have all that happening, the dark cloud and
just trying to get through where you're from. But at
the same time, you do so much in your community
and have been literally ever since I ever knew who
you were. Is there like a fight sometimes, especially because of,
you know, getting shot where you're from? where you're like,
I want to keep doing all this, but at the
same time, it's like, that means going back, and you're
(48:52):
hypersensitive to, like, the areas you got to go into, and, like,
what's that meant to battle, or is there even one
at this point?
Speaker 3 (48:57):
No, I never stopped.
Speaker 11 (48:58):
Even when I got shot, I still went back and
did some stuff. I went back a few weeks later
and helped the mayor. I was part of her campaign.
Speaker 5 (49:07):
The Occupy Summer?
Speaker 4 (49:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (49:09):
Like, I do Occupy the Summers, but I also, I
get outside and I do stuff on my own. I
provided houses for Less fortunate families gave them some of
my houses. i didn't bless girls go to college i
do a lot of stuff i don't like it being
recorded i don't do it for that they want me
to make a non-profit i still haven't because i don't
(49:29):
do it for that either but i ain't gonna never
stop doing stuff for my community because they blessed me
yeah they poured into me growing up So I feel
like if I took all this, I took the swag,
I took the money, I took all that. I still
got to pour back into my community, regardless of what happened.
Because I told you, I'm not going to ask God why.
(49:50):
I'm just going to do it. And I don't do
it to be blessed back or anything. I'm going to
go back to something Lawrence said.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
How difficult is it for a young black man to
understand leaving the neighborhood doesn't mean abandoning it, abandoning the neighborhood?
Speaker 11 (50:01):
It's very difficult. It's very difficult because everybody try to
pull you into that. They try to make it seem
like if you're not there, you don't care. Also, they
don't understand it's a certain level of protection you don't get.
If I come to a neighborhood and something, like some
people don't do all illegal stuff in my neighborhood. So
if I come through there, I'm making it hot. I'm
making everything. I'm shedding light on the neighborhood, but I'm
(50:25):
also protecting. Providing a light to stuff that's not supposed
to be going on, too, that's going to happen in
the neighborhood, whether I help it or not, you know?
Because it's just what comes with the neighborhood. So it's
also fun, too. Like, being in the neighborhood, I had
to really... That's why I like Ron Manot, because it's
not fun.
Speaker 4 (50:42):
It's not fun?
Speaker 11 (50:42):
It's not fun.
Speaker 5 (50:43):
Not the type of fun that he's used to.
Speaker 1 (50:44):
Yeah, you said that about four times in an interview,
how fun it is. Like, what's so fun about it?
Speaker 4 (50:48):
About the neighborhood?
Speaker 11 (50:49):
I think it's the sense of community that you like.
I like the sense of community, but also, like, when you...
born into some gangsta stuff that's fun to you it's
the adrenaline rush it's just like going on a roller
coaster i don't ride roller coasters and i tell people
like i ain't i've been shot enough times i don't
need to jump out of plane or do nothing like
you know what i'm saying i've been shot at doing
like it's fun it's fun we make it through it
(51:10):
like it's not fun getting shot but if you ever
been on a a shootout or something like that it's
the same adrenaline rush you get from jumping out of
plane or going on a roller coaster when the When
it dropped.
Speaker 5 (51:21):
It's the thrill.
Speaker 11 (51:22):
It's the thrill of it.
Speaker 1 (51:23):
It's excitement, yeah.
Speaker 11 (51:24):
You ever notice all the little kids, when they don't
get shot, they on the internet talk about how they
made it and stuff like that, and they laughing because
it's the adrenaline rush of all that.
Speaker 4 (51:34):
And it's not fun.
Speaker 11 (51:35):
Don't get me wrong, but when you're in it and
you can't make it out of it, it's the fun
that you having, you know?
Speaker 17 (51:41):
I'm going to go back to the freestyle that you
released after everything happened. You thanked everybody for the love
and support, but at the same time, it was kind
of like giving where you were trying to decide how
you should react because of what you... come from and
what you used to and the whole retaliation or whatever
and where you know you should be like talking to
god and just leaving it alone so like it's like
you battle with that like to this day still what
(52:03):
clicked for you and when where you were like like
that's not real life i can't really live my life
like that i.
Speaker 11 (52:08):
Was talking to pastor warren campbell that's erica campbell's.
Speaker 5 (52:12):
Husband okay she's on the album too yeah.
Speaker 11 (52:14):
Warren campbell produced on the album too he did a
lot of tupac he did mario records he did a
lot of mary mary records he does a lot of
stuff but he was telling me i'm not fighting because
i really kept it real with him i was like
i want to do this i feel like this and
he was like you might not be fighting right and
wrong you might be fighting right and wise so everything
you want to do you might be right for doing
(52:36):
it but is it the wise decision when he said
that it clicked And I'm.
Speaker 4 (52:40):
Like, dang, he right.
Speaker 11 (52:42):
I might feel evil in this moment, but is it
conducive to my situation? Is it conducive to Skilla baby?
Is it conducive to my mama? Is it conducive to
my sister? Am I being selfish to my management? You
know what I'm saying? People, my employees, like if I
go away, if I do this, if I set myself up,
even if I don't make it out a situation, a
(53:02):
lot of people lost jobs, might lose houses, might lose,
you know what I'm saying? So it was like, I
can't be selfish in those moments. Also, I'm in my
obedience phase of my life, so it's like, Pastor told
me this, and I felt like he wasn't judging me
when he said it. He really told me I could
be right, but I could, I could, is it wise?
So he didn't really tell me, don't do that. He
(53:24):
was like, just think about it. You know what I'm saying?
So I took a step back, and I.
Speaker 4 (53:28):
Had to reevaluate everything. After surviving everything, you survived, right?
You know, including gun violence, has survived.
Speaker 1 (53:35):
Your philanthropy started to feel different because you give away houses.
I see you support students. You put $ 50, 000 for the
gun back. Does philanthropy feel different after all that? Yeah,
I just did a mental health podcast. I mean, not
a podcast, but a panel in my city. I partnered
with the mayor, the deputy mayor, the chief of police,
(53:57):
some other activists and programs that help with mental health.
So I feel like With that, I want to see,
because I'll still be battling, like, I'll be feeling down
and stuff, but I want to see how people cope
in different ways to see am I doing it wrong
or other ways I can deal with my stuff. Also,
(54:18):
I wanted to bridge a gap between community and police.
Speaker 5 (54:24):
Like, over-policing.
Speaker 11 (54:25):
I think, like, a lot of kids and a lot
of people in the community, the disconnection with police officers
and city officials is we really don't know them. So
you be scared. You fear the unknown. So I feel
like if they see me shaking their hand, then it'll
look cool because somebody they cool with. Because I don't
(54:48):
got to snitch on nobody. I'm not telling on nobody.
And I can do gun buybacks and still help y'all,
but I'm not helping y'all do y'all job. But also,
I feel like a lot of police are there to help.
And I feel like The disconnection between them and us
is we don't know each other. So if we, if
you see, if I see an officer in my neighborhood
(55:11):
as a kid and these systematic beliefs and these learned behaviors,
I see my uncle or my pops or whatever telling
the police get the f * * * on, then
I'm going to feel like that. But also, if I know,
if I know the police.
And I feel like it's my cousin or my friend,
(55:33):
then he's trying to provide ways to help me out
in these situations instead of judging me. Even with the police,
knowing the neighborhood, it's like the police that really be
in the neighborhood that's chilling with everybody and they be cool. Like,
they'll help you through it. It's be the people that
we don't know that we automatically, we got this stigma
about them, this stigma on both sides, you know? So
(55:55):
I feel like if we, like, bridge that gap, man,
It'll be like less over policing and then it's be
less fear in the neighborhoods too. But also we got to,
I think in our neighborhoods, we're a little delusional when
it comes to that, because a lot of times we
be doing stuff that's wrong. Even if you don't feel
(56:17):
like it's morally wrong, it's against the law. I think
a lot of kids, like one thing my pops taught
me growing up, you got to know your laws. A
lot of people don't know the law. Or they ignore
the law. And really their job is to defend the law.
You know what I'm saying? So if you getting arrested
and you broke the law, bro, you can't really... You
(56:37):
can be mad at yourself. You can't really be mad
at the police.
Speaker 4 (56:40):
You're doing your job.
Speaker 3 (56:41):
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 11 (56:42):
A lot of times we be trying to make that
excuse like, yeah, they over-policing, but dog just broke the law.
You know what I'm saying? And I'm from the streets,
so I haven't been a law-abiding citizen my whole life.
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 4 (56:54):
So it's like.
Speaker 11 (56:56):
I understand it, but we got to stop like putting this,
this stigma out there that every time somebody get arrested,
they didn't break the law. You got caught. That's not
our fault. It's not their fault. You got caught. You
know what I'm saying?
Speaker 3 (57:10):
Now over policing, I.
Speaker 11 (57:11):
Don't support that at all. You know what I'm saying?
I don't, I don't, I'm never helping the police do
their job at all. I don't get paid to do that,
but we do have police for a reason. You know
what I'm saying? And it's like, We can't. Every time
somebody get, they're a felon and they get caught with
a gun, like, oh my God, they bothering me. No,
you got a gun, gang.
Speaker 8 (57:32):
Like that's, oh my God, especially with somebody, mother, they
see their dead kid getting.
Speaker 5 (57:38):
Harassed by, you know, like just getting beat up by
the police. Oh my God, stop, he ain't do nothing. No,
this is little Michael Myers, baby. Like, you know what
I mean? He done killed a hell of people.
Speaker 4 (57:46):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (57:47):
But also, if they invested in our communities the way
they invested in police, things would also change as well.
There wouldn't be the need for over-policing because, you know,
these kids would have the mental health resources that they
need and these kids would have after-school programs. Like, you
got to give these kids something to do. They say
our idle mind is the devil's playground. That's why they
turn to a life of crime often because they don't
(58:08):
have any other resources and they trying to make ends
meet and they don't have nothing else to do.
Speaker 4 (58:13):
Give these kids something else to do.
Speaker 6 (58:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (58:15):
You don't seem like you care about your image no
more either.
Speaker 11 (58:18):
My image, like, my image was cool and stuff. This
is the time of the prayer, too.
Speaker 4 (58:24):
My prayer time. My aim is just like... You want
to stop and pray?
Speaker 11 (58:29):
We can.
Speaker 4 (58:29):
Yeah, come on. You going to do it?
Speaker 6 (58:31):
Let's do it.
Speaker 5 (58:31):
Come on. Come on. Come on.
Speaker 4 (58:36):
Mess your routine up.
Speaker 5 (58:37):
You going to pray or you want us to pray?
Speaker 6 (58:39):
I want Charlie to do it.
Speaker 9 (58:40):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (58:41):
Dear Lord, happy Father.
Speaker 10 (58:41):
I thank you for bringing us together today. I thank
you for Scalababy and his journey and his voice.
Speaker 5 (58:45):
I pray that you cover him. You continue to lead
him down the path of leadership. I know that he
is still here with us for a reason.
Speaker 17 (58:50):
I know that you will continue to You know, just
lay that for him as he continues to walk forward.
Speaker 5 (58:54):
I pray that in Jesus' name.
Speaker 6 (58:56):
Amen.
Speaker 5 (58:57):
Amen.
Speaker 4 (58:57):
Thank you. And on that. The price of fame is
out right now, man. Beautiful prayer, Lauren. The price of
fame is out right now. Skilla Baby, keep growing, my brother.
Speaker 11 (59:09):
Appreciate you.
Speaker 4 (59:10):
Yes, sir. It's The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. We are
The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 3 (59:13):
Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
Speaker 2 (59:15):
So yesterday, guys, Beyonce's Be Good Foundation, which.
Speaker 17 (59:18):
Is a foundation she founded, announced that they're going to
(59:45):
be donating $ 200, 000 to help with the relief efforts in Gary, Indiana.
So now this money will be donated in grants to
the City Life Center and Angel by Nature to support
flood relief efforts. This will provide immediate relief to communities
most affected, including the city of Gary.
Speaker 5 (01:00:04):
I think that is fire.
Speaker 4 (01:00:06):
Drop on the clues box for Be Good Foundation.
Speaker 12 (01:00:09):
So when they're giving the money to what organizations, right?
Because what is the government doing? Because the government should
be fixing this.
Speaker 5 (01:00:16):
And helping, right? They're dragging their damn feet.
Speaker 17 (01:00:18):
They're giving it to the City Life Center and Angel
by Nature are the two organizations that they pointed to.
Speaker 5 (01:00:22):
But I mean, I know like.
Speaker 4 (01:00:24):
You can't wait on the government.
Speaker 5 (01:00:25):
You're right.
Speaker 4 (01:00:26):
The government should be doing stuff, but you can't wait
on the government.
Speaker 12 (01:00:29):
And that's a lot of people. Yeah, I just don't
want the government to be like, oh, well, B got it.
We ain't got to.
Speaker 5 (01:00:34):
But they ain't got it yet.
Speaker 8 (01:00:37):
That's why B got it, because they ain't been giving
it to him. Them people been in the dark for, what, 13,
14 days?
Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
That's crazy. That's so damn crazy.
Speaker 8 (01:00:44):
And then everybody don't have power. Like, the whole city
don't have power. Or even, you know, food and everything.
Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
Everybody don't have help.
Speaker 1 (01:00:51):
Plus, I'm sure they did their research, so they know
what organization to give it to that's going to get
relief right to the people.
Speaker 4 (01:00:56):
Right, right. Salute to B.
Speaker 5 (01:00:58):
That's amazing. Yeah, salute to her.
Speaker 17 (01:01:00):
Now mentioning Beyonce yesterday on the rock nation Instagram, they
posted like these like TV screens with like the, you know,
you know, like that beep, like the, what is that called?
Speaker 5 (01:01:11):
Like the blanked out screen. Just a blanked out screen. Yeah,
I don't know how to describe it. Public service announcement.
Speaker 17 (01:01:17):
Yes, that screen. The public service announcement screen. And they
put stay tuned for September 1st. Now, people thought that
this meant that there might be new music. People were like,
maybe it's a tour. Like, they thought all these things.
Charlamagne said ain't nothing happening. And he's reporting that right now.
Speaker 4 (01:01:30):
No, I do know. It's a Memphis Bleak reality show.
It's a Memphis Bleak reality show.
Speaker 5 (01:01:33):
You are a clown. No, no, no, no.
Speaker 4 (01:01:34):
It's a Memphis Bleak reality show.
Speaker 1 (01:01:36):
It's an offshoot of the Rock Solid podcast, and it's
going to be a reality show.
Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
You a damn liar.
Speaker 5 (01:01:41):
I ain't do all that for that.
Speaker 4 (01:01:43):
So everybody else can get on here and lie about
Roc Nation, but when I do it, I'm a liar.
Speaker 8 (01:01:46):
Nobody else can call out for being a liar.
Speaker 4 (01:01:49):
But as soon as I get on here and say something,
I'm the liar.
Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
As soon as you said bleak.
Speaker 5 (01:01:53):
They didn't do public service announcement for bleak.
Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
Stop.
Speaker 5 (01:01:55):
We were talking about Jay-Z and music and stuff, right?
Why can't bleak do the public service announcement? No, shut
out the bleak.
Speaker 8 (01:02:01):
But I'm just saying, like, they did all that. There's
got to be, like, something that Jay-Z can come in, yo.
Speaker 4 (01:02:06):
I just don't like how when I get on the radio.
Speaker 1 (01:02:08):
Radio and live by rock nation y'all call me off
of being alive but y'all let everybody else get on
their podcast and live by rock it is a new
it's a new album it's jay-z's doing a new album

do nine more songs with you.
Speaker 4 (01:02:32):
I heard that one.
Speaker 8 (01:02:34):
Y'all realize that's what sets us apart from all these
other lying ass podcasts that we don't lie, but now
y'all doing it.
Speaker 4 (01:02:39):
I'm not lying.
Speaker 6 (01:02:40):
I'm not lying.
Speaker 4 (01:02:41):
You should trust me when I'm lying. No. We already
ate songs in.
Speaker 5 (01:02:43):
That messes my mind up every time you say that. Well, anyway.
Speaker 3 (01:02:46):
We ate songs in.
Speaker 17 (01:02:47):
Y'all lying and the Roc Nation page hasn't posted anything
besides the pop-ups that are happening in all these various places.
Speaker 5 (01:02:52):
It's September 1st, right?
Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
The pop-up?
Speaker 5 (01:02:56):
Yeah. There's one September 1st, September 2nd, the 5th. It's
going to happen.
Speaker 10 (01:03:00):
All right.
Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
He's going to do it in London.
Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
Just make sure y'all tune in to Memphis Bleak's reality show.
Speaker 5 (01:03:05):
Rock Solid. You get on my nerves, yo. You get
on my nerves.
Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
You're going to be rock climbing. Y'all ain't no Memphis
Bleak with an average rock climbing bar.
Speaker 5 (01:03:12):
You're a clown.
Speaker 4 (01:03:14):
I'm serious. And that's the name of the show, Rock Climbing,
but it's R-O-C. And so he's going to be coming.
That's hard. You'll see. By the end of the day,
they're going to announce it. Dropping the clues bombs from
Memphis Bleak.
Speaker 6 (01:03:23):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:03:24):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
That's dope.
Speaker 6 (01:03:27):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (01:03:28):
Congratulations or not. Shifting gears a bit.
Speaker 17 (01:03:31):
So Chris Brown is telling the court that he is
too busy to come to court because he's on tour
with Usher.
Speaker 10 (01:03:37):
Damn.
Speaker 5 (01:03:38):
So, I mean, look.
Speaker 4 (01:03:39):
That'll work if you get the judge some tickets. I
bet you the judge wants some tickets.
Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 18 (01:03:43):
All right.
Speaker 5 (01:03:43):
So this is what's happening.
Speaker 17 (01:03:45):
So in that legal matter with the ex-housekeeper, right, the
woman that was bit by the dog who was awarded
all of that money, that $ 13 million, Chris Brown is
being asked to come to court because they want to
go through his, they want to review his finances and
his bank statements to see how he's going to pay
her the judgments that he owes her. But Chris Brown
recently filed a document that says he's a little bit
busy because he's on that tour with Usher and that
(01:04:07):
they might even be extending the tour with more additional dates.
So he can't come into court to do it. Now,
I don't think that there's an issue here because we
know that he is on the tour. And it's like,
why does he have to be there, would be my question.
Speaker 8 (01:04:19):
Can't his team of lawyers go in there and stand
before him, you know, stand on his behalf or somebody's?
Speaker 5 (01:04:24):
I would assume that that's how it goes.
Speaker 17 (01:04:25):
But Chris Brown is also pointing to the fact that
there's no evidence that he ever tried to conceal or...
transfer any assets or money to avoid paying a debt.
And he's right in Vegas. He's not far. He's not
in Vegas. He's not far from, you know, court. So
he's not trying. He basically is not trying to get
away from any of this. He just has things to do.
Speaker 4 (01:04:44):
Shouldn't the dog be in court?
Speaker 2 (01:04:46):
Yes, absolutely. Why is Chris dead?
Speaker 4 (01:04:47):
Send the goddamn dog.
Speaker 5 (01:04:48):
With a damn muzzle.
Speaker 4 (01:04:49):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
They probably killed the dog.
Speaker 5 (01:04:52):
No, we really don't know what happened.
Speaker 3 (01:04:53):
Should we die?
Speaker 12 (01:04:55):
I didn't say for factual, but that's what usually happens,
especially a bite this serious.
Speaker 5 (01:04:59):
They probably put the dog down.
Speaker 4 (01:05:01):
I would do the same thing and sell him for parts.
Speaker 5 (01:05:03):
Yeah, but wouldn't we have heard that?
Speaker 3 (01:05:05):
What parts would you sell him for?
Speaker 4 (01:05:06):
Actors.
Speaker 5 (01:05:07):
What you mean?
Speaker 3 (01:05:07):
What you mean selling for parts? No, what you mean?
Speaker 6 (01:05:10):
What?
Speaker 5 (01:05:10):
You don't know? I do see reports that people will
buy it.
Speaker 4 (01:05:14):
Sell the dog. All right now.
Speaker 5 (01:05:16):
All right. I don't think the dog is here anymore, y'all.
All right.
Speaker 4 (01:05:22):
Well, the dog's in heaven.
Speaker 5 (01:05:23):
Yeah. KTLA is reporting that the dog isn't.
Speaker 4 (01:05:28):
Girl, say the dog got killed. You got euthanized.
Speaker 3 (01:05:30):
You say the dog was put down. That's what you
got to say. That's what usually happens with a dog bite.
Speaker 5 (01:05:35):
You're a reporter. I know. It was just sad to say. No,
you didn't say it yet. Say it.
Speaker 17 (01:05:40):
The dog was put down on Christmas Eve following the attack,
according to KTLA.
Speaker 1 (01:05:46):
Teen murders and you ain't sound like that for no
human being not one black man you reported on you
sounded sad.
Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
Like that it's.
Speaker 17 (01:05:53):
The picture that they have with the dog in the
cage I'm sorry alright yeah the dog was.
Speaker 3 (01:05:57):
Put down 36 murders in the first hour didn't sound
like that All dogs go to heaven. That's what they say, right?
Speaker 5 (01:06:02):
Right.
Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 17 (01:06:04):
And the next latest, we're going to talk about, speaking
of Vegas, we're going to talk about Mary J. Blige
because the people are upset at her over an AI campaign.
Speaker 5 (01:06:10):
We're going to get into it.
Speaker 4 (01:06:11):
All right.
Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
We'll get to that next. Charlamagne, who you giving your
dog to?
Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
Four after the hour. We need Keefie D to come
to the front of the congregation. We'd like to have
a word with him. There's a teachable moment in all
of this.
Speaker 4 (01:06:20):
I believe.
Speaker 5 (01:06:21):
He had enough words. That's his problem.
Speaker 3 (01:06:22):
Too many words.
Speaker 4 (01:06:23):
All right. We'll get to that next.
Speaker 3 (01:06:24):
It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (01:06:25):
Good morning.
Speaker 9 (01:06:25):
Taylor!
Speaker 10 (01:06:25):
Taylor!
Speaker 5 (01:06:26):
I made it.
Speaker 4 (01:06:27):
It's time for Donkey of the Day. There's a bunch
of donkeys out here in this street. I'll make Donkey
of the Day. Called Donkey of the Day. It really
caught me off guard.
Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
We live a life where we bite our tongue based
off who we may offend. We never would say anything.
Speaker 5 (01:06:38):
Give it to him.
Speaker 4 (01:06:38):
Give it to him. You are a donkey.
Speaker 5 (01:06:44):
That is why Charlemagne is here.
Speaker 4 (01:06:47):
Some donkey of the day just saw themselves.
Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
On The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1 (01:06:50):
Okay, so we'll be wild for a second.
Speaker 5 (01:06:54):
You're an idiot, man. You should fight him.
Speaker 3 (01:06:56):
You should really snuff him, right?
Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
Wise.
Speaker 1 (01:06:59):
Donkey of the day for Tuesday, September 1st goes to
Dwayne Keefie D.
Speaker 2 (01:07:03):
Davis.
Speaker 4 (01:07:03):
Now, if you haven't heard yesterday... Dwayne Keefie D.
Speaker 1 (01:07:06):
Davis was found guilty of orchestrating the 1996 murder of
Tupac Shakur. Yes, 30 years ago on September 6th, 1996,
Tupac Shakur was shot in Las Vegas and then died
seven days later on September 13th. For three decades, nobody
was convicted for his murder until yesterday.
Speaker 4 (01:07:24):
Let's go to ABC 7 for the report, please.
Speaker 19 (01:07:26):
Dwayne Davis has been the only man ever charged in
the 30-year-old murder of rapper Tupac Shakur. Less than an
hour ago, the jury came back unanimous, affirming what Davis
has spent years admitting publicly.
Speaker 10 (01:07:38):
We, the jury in the both entitled case, find the
defendant Dwayne Keith Davis as follows.
Speaker 5 (01:07:42):
Count one, murder with use of a deadly weapon. Guilty
of first degree murder with use of a deadly weapon.
Dated this 31st day of August 2026.
Speaker 19 (01:07:51):
It took the jury less than three hours to reach
that verdict, guilty of first-degree murder. Prosecutors had told jurors
to believe the various statements Davis had made over 30
years admitting to the crime, including a book he published
admitting his involvement in Tupac's murder. Davis is not accused
of pulling the trigger, but instead of orchestrating the shooting.
and providing the gun. Defense attorneys had told the jury
(01:08:13):
there was no evidence to back up Davis' previous claims
of involvement. Davis, like he's done previously during this trial,
spoke up in court just.
Speaker 4 (01:08:22):
Moments after the verdict.
Speaker 19 (01:08:33):
Perhaps difficult to hear Davis asking for evidence to be
returned and his intent to appeal.
Speaker 1 (01:08:38):
Ladies and gentlemen, there's an old saying, if you give
a man enough rope, he'll hang himself. Well, in this era,
if you give a man enough microphones, he'll create Exhibit A. OK,
we're not going to sit here and act like Keefie
D didn't earn this citizen.
Speaker 4 (01:08:50):
He worked hard for it. That's the game, right?
Speaker 1 (01:08:53):
Right. That's what we teach people. Work hard and get results. Oh,
Keefie D worked hard to get convicted. for his role
in the murder of Tupac Shakur. This man has years
of Vlad TV interviews. He's on documentaries. He wrote a
memoir about There was a time when investigators had to
interrogate suspects. Now, all you got to do is give
a brother a.
Speaker 4 (01:09:12):
Podcast set up, okay?
Speaker 1 (01:09:14):
Couple of shore microphones, some LED lights, a bottle of
alkaline water. Hell, don't even got to be alkaline. Dasani
will do, okay? And it all starts with Vlad saying.
Speaker 4 (01:09:24):
So walk me through what happened that night.
Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
Then people get to chatting and law enforcement is sitting
at home watching YouTube like, hold up, run that back. OK,
this is why KPD deserves donkey of the day. You know,
I try to make these situations teachable moments. And there
is a lot to learn here. See, KPD isn't getting
donkey of the day just because he talked. No. OK,
it is what I believe all that talking represents. And
(01:09:48):
that is sometimes surviving consequences for too long. convinces you
that consequences no longer exist okay but you can't run
from yourself all right that's why i like for consequences
to happen immediately this era isn't seeing enough consequences for
their actions and that's why people move the way they
move okay think about it you do something wrong and
nothing happens for a week you're nervous okay nothing happens
(01:10:11):
for a year you're still looking over your shoulder okay
five years you start relaxing All right, 10 years, you
start thinking you got away with it. 20 years, oh,
now you really comfortable. 30 years, you think you got
away scot-free. Now you're doing press and you're cashing in.
Keefy D, you have successfully avoided consequences for three decades.
Why then are you doing media about the thing you
(01:10:34):
allegedly avoided consequences for? Who robs a bank in 1996,
gets away with it, and then in 2022 starts.
Speaker 4 (01:10:42):
A YouTube channel called How I Robbed That Bank? in 1996.
By the way, it's a great movie coming out in
November called How to Rob a Bank. It's incredible. You
should watch it.
Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
But no!
Speaker 4 (01:10:51):
Learn to shut up!
Speaker 5 (01:10:52):
Alright?
Speaker 4 (01:10:53):
You avoided consequences.
Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
But this is an example of how sometimes getting away
with something is the worst thing that can happen to
a fool because consequences actually teach you boundaries. But when
consequences don't come, some people start thinking they're untouchable.
Speaker 4 (01:11:09):
That's what happened to Keefy D.
Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
That's when relief becomes confidence, and then confidence becomes arrogance,
and arrogance starts talking. All over the world, okay? That's
what happened to Keefie D. His arrogance got the best
of him. An ego needs an audience, okay? That's the
part people don't understand. Sometimes people don't just want to
get away with something. Eventually, they want credit for getting
away with it.
Speaker 4 (01:11:32):
That's ego.
Speaker 1 (01:11:33):
That's why I don't even want the lesson here to
simply be stop going on podcasts, telling your business. That's
a basic way of thinking, okay? Podcasts aren't the problem.
Cameras and microphones aren't the problem. Ego is the problem. OK,
the platforms just give the ego amplification.
Speaker 4 (01:11:49):
And here's another thing.
Speaker 1 (01:11:51):
Keefy D's defense argued that some of the things he
said publicly were essentially exaggerated or fabricated for entertainment and money.
Speaker 4 (01:11:59):
OK, let's unpack that.
Speaker 1 (01:12:01):
If the stories were true, you were publicly discussing your
involvement in one of the most infamous murders in American
pop culture history. And if the stories weren't true, you
spent years pretending to be involved in one of the
most infamous murders in American pop culture history. So, sir,
which one would you like Donkey of the Day for? OK,
(01:12:22):
because you actually participated or you pretended to participate for clout.
That is another disease killing our society. People underestimate the
cost of turning their lives into content because once everything
becomes content, you start asking the wrong questions, okay? Instead
of asking, should I say this? You start asking, will
people watch this? Okay, will people listen to this? Those
(01:12:43):
are two completely different questions. And most of the time,
the thing everybody wants to hear is exactly the thing
you should never say, especially when it's an unsolved murder.
Justice delayed is not necessarily justice denied. Just because something
hasn't caught up with you doesn't mean it never will.
(01:13:04):
And time passing doesn't automatically erase consequences, especially when you
keep talking and telling us about the thing you have
escaped consequences for. Some people survive their consequences and mistake
survival for immunity. But the reality of the situation is
the statute of limitations on stupid is forever. Please let
(01:13:27):
Remy Ma give Dwayne Keefie D. Davis the biggest hee-haw.
Speaker 10 (01:13:30):
Hee-haw.
Speaker 13 (01:13:31):
Hee-haw.
Speaker 5 (01:13:32):
You stupid motherfucker.
Speaker 4 (01:13:34):
You dumb. He earned it, man. Yep.
Speaker 2 (01:13:37):
He earned it.
Speaker 4 (01:13:38):
Worked hard for it.
Speaker 3 (01:13:39):
Sure did.
Speaker 4 (01:13:39):
Sure did. If you campaign hard enough, you will get elected.
Speaker 6 (01:13:44):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (01:13:44):
And he was, what, 63?
Speaker 2 (01:13:45):
Damn, yo.
Speaker 3 (01:13:47):
So he was probably going to die in jail.
Speaker 6 (01:13:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:13:50):
That's wild, though.
Speaker 3 (01:13:51):
And he's been home all this time.
Speaker 9 (01:13:53):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 10 (01:13:53):
Talking.
Speaker 3 (01:13:54):
All he had to do was just shut up.
Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (01:13:55):
Here you go. You needed the credit.
Speaker 12 (01:13:59):
Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir. Now, when
we come back, 800-585-1051. This is going viral yesterday. A
young man found out nine years later that his daughter,
that he was about to take school shopping, is not
his biological daughter.
Speaker 3 (01:14:15):
This is how he found out.
Speaker 18 (01:14:16):
I found out that my nine-year-old daughter is not biologically mine.
We took a prenatal paternity test from a company I
had found online called Prenatal Paternity. When she first told me,
I stayed up all night researching that like it was
the SAT.
Speaker 4 (01:14:30):
The results came back that I was a father. Case closed.
Speaker 18 (01:14:33):
So I wasn't walking around suspicious for the whole nine years.
On Friday, I went to CVS and I got one
of these. I swabbed my mouth, I swabbed her mouth,
and I sent it in. I found out on school
supply day.
Speaker 5 (01:14:45):
When they emailed me the text back, it said I
was not the father.
Speaker 4 (01:14:48):
I'm like, not the father?
Speaker 2 (01:14:49):
What the?
Speaker 18 (01:14:50):
I thought it had to be some type of mistake
because how the first test say this and this say that?
I was so mad and I'm not gonna lie. Right now,
I don't know how to feel. I don't know what
to do moving forward. All I do know is that
this hurts like hell.
Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
Hey man, he been through that baby wasn't his.
Speaker 4 (01:15:05):
This year he broke it than he ever been.
Speaker 1 (01:15:07):
So he had to get out of buying them goddamn
school supplies.
Speaker 4 (01:15:10):
He still took.
Speaker 3 (01:15:12):
A school supply shopping.
Speaker 4 (01:15:14):
Oh, he did?
Speaker 3 (01:15:15):
Yeah, he still took a school supply shopping.
Speaker 8 (01:15:16):
But what I hope is that he had the conversation
with her before he came to the internet.
Speaker 5 (01:15:20):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (01:15:20):
Because like, she although she's nine i'm pretty sure she
has the internet social media whatever and um what do
you even tell the child and then first of all
did the mother know not he knew did the mother.
Speaker 5 (01:15:32):
Know right well definitely knew that wasn't his no no
i'm saying i'm sorry i'm sorry not that you know
but like let's.
Speaker 17 (01:15:37):
Talk about when we come back yeah 800-585-1051 if you
were in that.
Speaker 4 (01:15:40):
Situation what would you do Grandma Ben told that boy
that wasn't his baby.
Speaker 5 (01:15:49):
It'd be your grandma.
Speaker 3 (01:15:50):
You just realized.
Speaker 5 (01:15:50):
She'd be looking at the ears first.
Speaker 12 (01:15:52):
You just realized that child is not yours biologically.
Speaker 5 (01:15:55):
But he just admitted that he got a test at first.
Speaker 12 (01:15:56):
The child is nine years old. What do you do
in that situation? Let's discuss when we come back. It's
The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (01:16:02):
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (01:16:02):
It's Topic Time.
Speaker 17 (01:16:03):
Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The
Breakfast Club.
Speaker 5 (01:16:14):
Morning, everybody.
Speaker 12 (01:16:15):
It's DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
The Breakfast Club. Lonely Rose is here as well, if
you're just joining us. We're talking about something that went
viral a couple of days ago.
Speaker 3 (01:16:25):
Gentlemen, what's his name?
Speaker 5 (01:16:26):
Eastside Evo.
Speaker 3 (01:16:27):
Eastside Evo. He posted yesterday that he.
Speaker 12 (01:16:29):
Just found out that his nine-year-old daughter is not his
biological daughter.
Speaker 3 (01:16:33):
He did a test, and he just found out.
Speaker 12 (01:16:35):
And we're asking, what would you do in that situation?
Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
Now, Jess, you were talking about... about, you were more
interested in the conversation he would have.
Speaker 8 (01:16:42):
Yeah, like, you know, what is the conversation that you,
how do you even tell a kid, yo, I'm not
even really a dad. You know, I guess it depends
on the age, you know, if they're ready or even
mature enough to have a conversation as such, right?
Speaker 5 (01:16:52):
But, The moms, yo, like, you know what she was doing.
You know what I mean? You knew that this was
not my child.
Speaker 8 (01:17:00):
How do you let a man think that this is.
Speaker 5 (01:17:02):
Especially if you on child support.
Speaker 4 (01:17:04):
Right.
Speaker 5 (01:17:05):
It's like, yo, what's going on?
Speaker 8 (01:17:06):
But that's a world of hurt, especially if you thought
this child was yours and you don't have any more kids.
Speaker 5 (01:17:12):
Now you don't have nothing.
Speaker 4 (01:17:15):
I wouldn't tell the child.
Speaker 1 (01:17:16):
You know, I've had homeboys who've been in that situation.
Speaker 6 (01:17:19):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 4 (01:17:20):
And, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
They were in their child's life for such a long
time that that's the only father that that child knew.
So when he found out that he wasn't the father...
He didn't tell her that she's a child. I don't
know if he told her later on in life. You know,
I really don't know. But at the time he didn't
tell her and he just held it down and kept
being that father figure because, you know, an invested nine years.
Speaker 4 (01:17:40):
Right.
Speaker 5 (01:17:41):
But did the new father try to step up or
did they? You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (01:17:44):
Because at some point when you find out if the
person who has who's been absent, who probably didn't even
know that they had a child.
Speaker 5 (01:17:51):
What happens with that? Because now I want to meet
my child.
Speaker 12 (01:17:54):
See, my first reaction is, that ain't my child. I'm not, like,
I feel bamboozled, right?
Speaker 6 (01:17:59):
Right.
Speaker 12 (01:17:59):
But then I had to look back at it, let's
say Brooklyn, who's just turned 10. If that happened to
me and Brooklyn, you would still take care of that child.
Because that's Brooklyn's, she would be my daughter regardless.
Speaker 10 (01:18:08):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (01:18:09):
You have an emotional, spiritual attachment to this girl.
Speaker 5 (01:18:12):
Exactly.
Speaker 12 (01:18:12):
But what the mom is not going to do is
have me on child support. I don't feel like you're
going to make me pay if that's not my- I'm
legally responsible for the child.
Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
I don't know if that's true either because didn't that
happen to Neal? Don't Neal got to pay for a child.
Speaker 8 (01:18:22):
That's- Well, when you sign the birth certificate, you are automatically,
what is it, obligated or you're responsible for the child
legally because you signed the birth certificate.
Speaker 5 (01:18:32):
I think that's what happened to Neal.
Speaker 8 (01:18:33):
Now, it's a lot of things that you got to
do with the start of that process to get your
name off, but there's no guarantee that you can actually
get your name off.
Speaker 12 (01:18:41):
Yeah, because, you know, the fact that, let's say, she
has this gentleman on child support for all these years.
I would be like, no, I'm going to take care
of my kid. I'm going to take care of the child.
my kid, because it is, but you're not going to
force me to pay.
Speaker 5 (01:18:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:18:54):
Where before, you know, you had legal right to force me.
Speaker 5 (01:18:56):
And do you get all that money back when you
go and present? You know what I mean?
Speaker 8 (01:19:00):
No, I'm just saying, like, because that's why I know
you feel robbed, you feel betrayal, you feel deceived.
Speaker 5 (01:19:05):
I can't even imagine as a man how that would feel.
It's unfortunate all the way around. Like, I've been here
this whole time. But, like, something he knew. For you
to do another test, you knew something wasn't right.
Speaker 4 (01:19:18):
I told you that wasn't yours, boy. You been knew that. Okay?
I don't know. Did that happen to Neil? I feel
like that happened to Neil.
Speaker 5 (01:19:24):
I just looked it.
Speaker 17 (01:19:24):
Up, and they said that he did ask for paternity,
but they found out that the children were his. But
that's Google AI, so don't quote it.
Speaker 8 (01:19:30):
I'm telling you, I feel like whether you're married, one
night stand, whatever, in a relationship, committed or not, at
the birth... Of a baby, you should always get a
paternity test. I think one should be administered no matter what.
I don't even care if you're married or not.
Speaker 3 (01:19:48):
But you don't think that's disrespectful?
Speaker 5 (01:19:49):
Nah, yeah. I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:19:50):
All right, let's say Chris came up to you and
was like.
Speaker 6 (01:19:54):
Really, Chris?
Speaker 4 (01:19:54):
Maybe not.
Speaker 5 (01:19:55):
Come on.
Speaker 3 (01:19:55):
Maybe not Chris. Maybe he came out looking like Chris.
Speaker 4 (01:19:59):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (01:20:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:20:00):
You mean like just regular dating?
Speaker 4 (01:20:02):
It's in my honor.
Speaker 5 (01:20:02):
Brittany's like, no, it's yours. Say it again. Like they
should have a paternity test if they're not married. This
is crazy. In general is what you're saying? Yes, I
think at the time of- I think Chris.
Speaker 4 (01:20:09):
Should be trying to figure out if Jess the mama.
Speaker 5 (01:20:10):
Every birth.
Speaker 4 (01:20:11):
Okay, I think y'all might have took the wrong baby home.
Speaker 5 (01:20:13):
Y'all, shut up. Shut up. But then that would mean-
Just shut up.
Speaker 3 (01:20:17):
That's Chris Baby.
Speaker 5 (01:20:17):
No, it don't mean nothing.
Speaker 4 (01:20:18):
That's Chris Baby. That's Chris Baby.
Speaker 5 (01:20:19):
Don't try to figure it out, Lauren.
Speaker 4 (01:20:20):
That's Chris Baby.
Speaker 3 (01:20:21):
They some assholes.
Speaker 4 (01:20:21):
Who's this?
Speaker 16 (01:20:23):
It looks like you should.
Speaker 12 (01:20:27):
Be dating Lovey, but go ahead.
Speaker 6 (01:20:30):
What happened with you, Mama?
Speaker 16 (01:20:33):
Man, what the hell is you talking.
Speaker 4 (01:20:36):
About this morning?
Speaker 1 (01:20:38):
We can't understand a goddamn word you're saying. All I
know is that it sounds like you done told four
different baby daddies that they the baby daddy, okay?
Speaker 4 (01:20:45):
That's what happened. That's what it says. It's happened to her.
Speaker 3 (01:20:47):
She had told two guys.
Speaker 5 (01:20:48):
She was dealing with.
Speaker 16 (01:20:50):
And what happened was, you know, my conscience kept bothering me.
And I told them, and I said, look, I'm not sure.
It means what's happening in my life.
Speaker 6 (01:21:01):
You could be, you could be.
Speaker 16 (01:21:03):
And it was accepted, you know what I'm saying? But
it hurted, but everybody still played a part. Because we
were in the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (01:21:12):
What did that young girl grow up to be?
Speaker 6 (01:21:15):
Damn, stop it.
Speaker 10 (01:21:17):
Tell me right now.
Speaker 16 (01:21:18):
Tell me right now.
Speaker 10 (01:21:20):
She what?
Speaker 5 (01:21:22):
She hasn't talked to us in years.
Speaker 17 (01:21:23):
But the one daughter that you were talking about, though,
that wasn't his, what did she grow up to be?
Speaker 16 (01:21:27):
She's an entrepreneur. She makes new logos.
Speaker 3 (01:21:29):
She's working at Starless.
Speaker 16 (01:21:31):
She said you make logos.
Speaker 6 (01:21:32):
You got to chat GPT?
Speaker 4 (01:21:33):
You got to chat GPT.
Speaker 5 (01:21:35):
Jody, thank you. Thank you. We appreciate you.
Speaker 10 (01:21:36):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (01:21:37):
She said she appreciate the prayer.
Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
You heard her?
Speaker 3 (01:21:39):
The little bit of prayer.
Speaker 10 (01:21:40):
It was a little bit.
Speaker 16 (01:21:41):
But anyway, let's go to another line.
Speaker 4 (01:21:55):
Hello, who's this?
Speaker 7 (01:21:56):
Hey, how you doing? This is Len from Jacksonville.
Speaker 3 (01:21:58):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 5 (01:21:59):
Good morning.
Speaker 3 (01:21:59):
Talk to us.
Speaker 7 (01:22:00):
Good morning. On the topic, I was in a relationship.
I knew the kids were not mine. They were five
and six months old. After eight years, we broke up.
I kept taking care of the kids. It sucks because
anytime we got mad and arguing and stuff, I didn't
want to do it. But the love for the children
should supersede what you found out.
Speaker 5 (01:22:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (01:22:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:22:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (01:22:23):
So I want to tell that brother, man, if you
really love that child, just keep on pushing.
Speaker 4 (01:22:28):
He does. Like, that's the reality of the situation.
Speaker 1 (01:22:30):
There's no way you're going to be with a child
for nine years from the time they got on this planet,
and then all of a sudden you can emotionally disconnect
from that.
Speaker 4 (01:22:37):
You can't.
Speaker 3 (01:22:38):
It's so wild. Len, you said it was a newborn, too, right?
A baby, too, right?
Speaker 7 (01:22:43):
Yeah, one was five years old. The other one was
six months old.
Speaker 3 (01:22:46):
So the six-month-old, would y'all still stay with the six-month-old?
You know the six-month-old.
Speaker 4 (01:22:49):
Now I can bounce from a six month old. See
what I'm saying?
Speaker 5 (01:22:51):
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:22:52):
I can get a body.
Speaker 5 (01:22:53):
Yeah, I just met you.
Speaker 4 (01:22:55):
Six month old lady.
Speaker 5 (01:22:56):
They can barely know his name at six months.
Speaker 4 (01:22:57):
But hold up.
Speaker 8 (01:22:58):
How the hell did the lady have a five month
old and a six month old?
Speaker 5 (01:23:02):
What the hell?
Speaker 6 (01:23:02):
No, no, no.
Speaker 3 (01:23:03):
Five year old and a six month old.
Speaker 5 (01:23:04):
Oh, all right, all right, all right. I'm like, what's
going on?
Speaker 4 (01:23:07):
What kind of vagina you got?
Speaker 10 (01:23:07):
No, wait.
Speaker 7 (01:23:09):
I stayed in their life. I mean, the oldest, I
just put them in college or a secondary school for
education in baseball.
Speaker 5 (01:23:17):
I really respect men like that.
Speaker 7 (01:23:19):
You got to let the love do what it do.
Maybe not mess with that woman.
Speaker 6 (01:23:25):
Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (01:23:25):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:23:25):
I'm with y'all.
Speaker 3 (01:23:26):
I don't know about the six-month-old.
Speaker 11 (01:23:28):
Six-month-old's not his new.
Speaker 3 (01:23:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (01:23:30):
You are hell.
Speaker 17 (01:23:31):
He gonna laugh when I say I respect men like that.
Speaker 4 (01:23:35):
You do respect men like that. I get it.
Speaker 5 (01:23:37):
Who step up and be a father? You choose a child.
Speaker 4 (01:23:40):
When your biological didn't bother.
Speaker 9 (01:23:42):
Yes.
Speaker 5 (01:23:43):
That mother be a father, be a biological didn't bother. No,
that's Shaq.
Speaker 4 (01:23:46):
Shout out to Shaq. No.
Speaker 5 (01:23:47):
You trying to be funny. You trying to be funny.
As soon as I said that, he couldn't even hold
back his laugh.
Speaker 4 (01:23:52):
Yo, pull up Shaq Biological didn't bother since they think
I'm playing.
Speaker 5 (01:23:56):
Nah, but why you guys.
Speaker 4 (01:23:57):
Using lyrics right now?
Speaker 3 (01:23:57):
He did a whole song about his stepdad.
Speaker 4 (01:24:00):
Stepdaddy.
Speaker 17 (01:24:00):
No, I think it's just amazing when people choose a child,
even if it's not theirs, and commit to being that
child's father.
Speaker 5 (01:24:06):
My grandfather did that with my mom.
Speaker 4 (01:24:08):
She traumatized, though.
Speaker 1 (01:24:09):
That content creator, he definitely knew that baby wasn't his.
There was something, even though he probably grew to love
that baby, there was something in the back of his
mind all these years that was like, man, I don't
think this is mine.
Speaker 4 (01:24:19):
Yeah. Because why would you go get a test?
Speaker 1 (01:24:20):
He said, didn't he say in the audio that he
felt like the baby wasn't his?
Speaker 8 (01:24:24):
No, he said I wasn't just living with doubt for
nine years straight, but there may have been moments where
he did, because obviously something made you go to test.
Speaker 5 (01:24:30):
At nine years old, you also have to explain what
you're doing. Like, why are you swabbing me, Dad?
Speaker 1 (01:24:34):
COVID.
Speaker 4 (01:24:36):
You got to get COVID tested.
Speaker 3 (01:24:37):
But we'll take some more calls when we come back.
Speaker 6 (01:24:38):
800-585-1051.
Speaker 3 (01:24:38):
It's The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (01:24:41):
Morning, everybody.
Speaker 3 (01:24:42):
It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
Speaker 12 (01:24:45):
We are The Breakfast Club. Lauren Rose is here as well.
If you're just joining us, Lauren, break down what happened.
Speaker 17 (01:24:50):
So Isai Evo, I think it's Evo or Ivo, he
is an online content creator, but yesterday he posted a
video talking about the fact that he found out his
nine-year-old daughter wasn't his.
Speaker 3 (01:25:00):
Well, let's go to the phone lines. A lot of
people want to discuss.
Speaker 4 (01:25:02):
Hello, who's this?
Speaker 5 (01:25:03):
Hi, you guys.
Speaker 10 (01:25:05):
Real quick, actually, my sisters both were doing it. My
best friend, she did it, man. She rest in peace.
She lied to her husband the whole time that the
baby was his, and it wasn't. I kept going, why
would you do that? It was a thing she had
going on with her inside. Like, she didn't want to.
She was embarrassed, number one. And then she knew her
(01:25:26):
husband was going to be able to take care.
Speaker 5 (01:25:28):
Of the baby.
Speaker 4 (01:25:29):
How'd she die?
Speaker 10 (01:25:29):
It came out in the divorce when they had to
do the drug overdose.
Speaker 5 (01:25:35):
Oh, man.
Speaker 3 (01:25:36):
You said it came out in the divorce?
Speaker 10 (01:25:38):
Sheesh. Yeah, it came out in the divorce proceedings. They
had to take a paternity test. And then that's when
they found out that he was not. The entree was
not his. And it really, it separated them. But she said,
this is your baby, this is your baby. There was
no question, knowing that it wasn't.
Speaker 4 (01:25:57):
That's so crazy. That, wow.
Speaker 5 (01:25:59):
So f * * * ing insane. I'm so sorry.
And then you said you got two sisters? What town
y'all live in?
Speaker 10 (01:26:04):
Sacramento, California. Damn.
Speaker 3 (01:26:07):
Did he still take care of the kids?
Speaker 10 (01:26:08):
Excuse me?
Speaker 3 (01:26:10):
Did he still take care of the kids?
Speaker 10 (01:26:11):
No, he actually doesn't take care of the baby at all.
Speaker 6 (01:26:13):
Oh, he bounced.
Speaker 10 (01:26:14):
The dad actually passed away. The dad passed away, and
the baby's being raised by the grandmother. And it's a
sad thing because the baby was created during... They were
cheating on each other's spouse. You know, they were cheating.
Speaker 5 (01:26:31):
Oh, God.
Speaker 3 (01:26:32):
And this baby's your niece, right?
Speaker 5 (01:26:34):
No, that's our best friend's child.
Speaker 10 (01:26:36):
No, this is my best friend's child, Bianca.
Speaker 1 (01:26:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (01:26:39):
Now, my sisters, they don't want to tell the truth
about their baby daddy.
Speaker 5 (01:26:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. They alive. And they like, uh-uh.
Speaker 10 (01:26:45):
No, straight up lie. And I called to wish her
a happy birthday earlier. You guys didn't... hearing me out,
but at the end of the day, she's 50, 5-0.
Big up. This the lady from Bingo?
Speaker 8 (01:26:57):
And you want to take her ass to Bingo and
she up here lying to two men about the baby?
Speaker 1 (01:27:01):
No, no, no.
Speaker 10 (01:27:02):
Only one. She only, she lied one. One of my
sisters lied. The one whose birthday is today.
Speaker 5 (01:27:08):
Uh-huh.
Speaker 10 (01:27:09):
He lied. But at the same time, that's going to
come out when that's going to come out anyway.
Speaker 4 (01:27:16):
Why are your sisters like so much?
Speaker 5 (01:27:20):
Like, what's her best friend want to assist her?
Speaker 4 (01:27:22):
Both of them.
Speaker 1 (01:27:25):
That's why y'all in bingo now because y'all was hoes
back in the day. So y'all want to let y'all
like a nice, slow lifestyle.
Speaker 9 (01:27:30):
Oh, God.
Speaker 10 (01:27:32):
I didn't lie about my baby daddy. I didn't lie
about my baby daddy. And I never lied. I never lied,
not one time. And I may have. I was not
sure about two of them, but I never lied.
Speaker 5 (01:27:42):
I told both of them.
Speaker 4 (01:27:43):
Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 10 (01:27:44):
Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 1 (01:27:46):
You said you was a hoe back in the day.
Can you tell me what constitutes a hoe? How did
you know you was a hoe?
Speaker 10 (01:27:52):
Oh, I was very scared.
Speaker 4 (01:27:54):
That's a long story.
Speaker 5 (01:27:56):
Charlotte, how much time you got, Charlotte?
Speaker 9 (01:27:57):
I was having fun.
Speaker 10 (01:27:59):
I was giving it up. I was having fun. But
I respected myself because I wasn't lying to anybody.
Speaker 6 (01:28:04):
That's right.
Speaker 10 (01:28:05):
I was cute. But I can't be respectable. And at
the end of the day, it's wrong all the way around.
Speaker 11 (01:28:14):
It is.
Speaker 10 (01:28:14):
It's going to hurt the child. I don't know my dad.
So that's really messed up. My mom passed away. So
I will never know that unless I take DNA tests
and things like that. But to see that it happens
in my family, to see that it happens around, it
is not right. Like, the child doesn't get messed up
at the end of the day.
Speaker 6 (01:28:33):
That's right.
Speaker 10 (01:28:33):
Because it's not fair to them.
Speaker 3 (01:28:35):
So, Monique, you were so promiscuous back in the day.
You can't get money from anybody for your sister's birthday.
Speaker 4 (01:28:39):
You had your own money.
Speaker 13 (01:28:40):
No.
Speaker 11 (01:28:41):
No.
Speaker 10 (01:28:41):
Well, actually, actually, I just was trying to go big
up on the birthday club. I watch you guys all
the time. And the thing is, just bottom line, I
have a daughter. She's at Alcorn State University. I pay
her my portion of her tuition. I pay for her food. Like,
that's why I don't have extra money.
Speaker 4 (01:28:59):
I'm going to tell you something.
Speaker 10 (01:29:00):
I'm not on welfare. I don't get food stamps. So, like,
I literally take care of my daughter.
Speaker 1 (01:29:05):
Let me tell you something. Hey, hey, I'm about to
send something to Zelly number five.
Speaker 4 (01:29:09):
You know why? Because I like an honest hoe. That's
her son.
Speaker 5 (01:29:12):
You still be trying to get money to her.
Speaker 2 (01:29:14):
Zelly number five is her son.
Speaker 5 (01:29:15):
See, Zelly number. I like your game.
Speaker 4 (01:29:19):
You called back.
Speaker 5 (01:29:20):
You didn't convince him. Now he about to come up
out of that pocket. That's right, girl.
Speaker 3 (01:29:24):
That's how she did it.
Speaker 5 (01:29:25):
And she did it without using the poop. Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:29:28):
Oh, it's Velly.
Speaker 5 (01:29:29):
Oh, goddamn, girl.
Speaker 10 (01:29:34):
Velly. But he made it for me. That's why I
was saying he made it for me. That's why it
sounds like it's a rapper. But my son made my
cash app for me.
Speaker 6 (01:29:43):
Okay.
Speaker 10 (01:29:43):
Hold on.
Speaker 1 (01:29:44):
Don't hang up on her yet. I want to make
sure this is the right one. Oh, Monique Flowers Darden.
Speaker 3 (01:29:48):
That's her.
Speaker 5 (01:29:49):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (01:29:49):
Why you look like that? Let me see.
Speaker 5 (01:29:50):
Let me see.
Speaker 4 (01:29:50):
Let me see.
Speaker 3 (01:29:51):
Why you look like that? She said she was pretty.
Speaker 4 (01:29:54):
Why you laughing? Now I got to come over there
and see.
Speaker 5 (01:29:57):
Nobody.
Speaker 4 (01:29:57):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
No, Monique just lived. Monique, Monique, God bless you, Monique.
I'm about to send you a couple dollars for lunch, Monique.
Speaker 4 (01:30:03):
That's what's up, man. Okay? No, for real.
Speaker 10 (01:30:05):
I appreciate you guys. Even if you didn't, I wanted
to call back to just say, because I hadn't talked
to my sister since our grandmother died. I went and
took care of my great-grandmother. She was 101 years old.
She died on Christmas.
Speaker 5 (01:30:17):
Oh, that's what's up. That is amazing. She lived like
the biblical years.
Speaker 4 (01:30:21):
Not the grandmother, not a hoe.
Speaker 5 (01:30:22):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (01:30:23):
She was.
Speaker 5 (01:30:23):
She was married five times.
Speaker 4 (01:30:26):
Grandmother was a hoe.
Speaker 17 (01:30:28):
She was married five times, she said.
Speaker 6 (01:30:30):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (01:30:31):
You're my great-grandmother. No, no, she's not a hoe. She
got married five times.
Speaker 5 (01:30:34):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (01:30:35):
Jack's put a ring on that. That's right, that's right.
Speaker 5 (01:30:37):
Jack, that's all I'm saying. You're still tricking when you're married. Hmm.
Speaker 3 (01:30:40):
She said her grandma was a hoe, her mom was
a hoe, her sister was a hoe.
Speaker 4 (01:30:43):
A generation that come from.
Speaker 5 (01:30:44):
A long line of hoes.
Speaker 6 (01:30:45):
Bye, baby daddy.
Speaker 4 (01:30:46):
Monique, we gotta go. You know what's so crazy?
Speaker 1 (01:30:47):
I started to put, in Cash App, I started to
put for hoeing to be funny, and then I'm like,
hell no, my wife's not.
Speaker 6 (01:30:54):
Stop, baby.
Speaker 5 (01:30:55):
You're goddamn right. You better not. You better not.
Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
You better not.
Speaker 9 (01:30:58):
Dumbass.
Speaker 3 (01:30:59):
If Hoan is in the family.
Speaker 2 (01:31:00):
It is.
Speaker 3 (01:31:01):
Obviously it is.
Speaker 4 (01:31:05):
But you know what?
Speaker 5 (01:31:06):
Y'all ever seen Paper Soldiers?
Speaker 6 (01:31:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:31:08):
She look like Birdie from Paper Soldiers.
Speaker 1 (01:31:10):
You talking about Smokey the Comedian?
Speaker 5 (01:31:14):
Yeah. Ron Eddington. That's what she look like.
Speaker 16 (01:31:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:31:17):
Thank you, Monique.
Speaker 4 (01:31:17):
We just joking with you.
Speaker 5 (01:31:18):
Back in the day, she was probably really getting it.
Speaker 4 (01:31:20):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (01:31:21):
She probably look good.
Speaker 3 (01:31:22):
She says she retired.
Speaker 4 (01:31:23):
She don't vote no more. She do look just like
Smokey the Comedian, man. You know Smokey, right?
Speaker 5 (01:31:29):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:31:29):
I know exactly who you talking about.
Speaker 6 (01:31:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:31:31):
What happened to Smokey?
Speaker 3 (01:31:32):
Where's Smokey at?
Speaker 5 (01:31:32):
God bless him.
Speaker 4 (01:31:33):
Who's the Smokey, man? I don't know.
Speaker 11 (01:31:34):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:31:35):
I haven't seen Smokey in a long time.
Speaker 4 (01:31:36):
Smokey Suarez.
Speaker 5 (01:31:37):
The Ron Eddington is your name. All right.
Speaker 3 (01:31:39):
When we come back, we got the latest with Lauren.
It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 4 (01:31:43):
Good morning. Oh, my God. She looks just like Smokey Suarez.
For real, man. She looks just like Smokey.
Speaker 3 (01:31:48):
Well, let's get to the latest now.
Speaker 5 (01:31:50):
Lauren becoming a street fit.
Speaker 4 (01:31:51):
Till I.
Speaker 9 (01:31:52):
Till I.
Speaker 12 (01:31:53):
She gets it from somebody that knows somebody.
Speaker 4 (01:31:55):
She gets the details.
Speaker 5 (01:31:57):
I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
and everything.
Speaker 4 (01:32:00):
She be having the latest on this.
Speaker 2 (01:32:03):
The latest with Lauren La Rosa.
Speaker 1 (01:32:05):
Sometimes she have facts, sometimes she have details, sometimes she
have a little bit of everything.
Speaker 5 (01:32:08):
What was the latest?
Speaker 3 (01:32:09):
Brought to you by Top Dog Law.
Speaker 2 (01:32:11):
On The Breakfast Club.
Speaker 5 (01:32:12):
So what's the mean?
Speaker 4 (01:32:13):
Top Dog Law.
Speaker 17 (01:32:14):
So we reported this story about Tupac's murder trial and
Keefie D being found guilty at the top of the show.
I just received a statement on behalf of Tupac's family.
So they won't be doing any interviews until after the sentencing,
but they want to.
Speaker 3 (01:32:29):
What family members?
Speaker 17 (01:32:30):
This is so this is on behalf of Moprim Shakur,
who is Tupac's brother and his sister. I don't know
how to pronounce her name, so I don't want to
get it wrong. But it says, above all, we honor
Afeni Shakur, a mother whose strength and unshakable belief in
her son's truth carried this fight long before any of
us knew where it would lead. The family of Tupac
Amor Shakur is elated and relieved by today's verdict. We
(01:32:52):
would like to thank the jury for the thoughtful way
they fulfilled their duty and carefully listened to all of
the evidence. Our deep appreciation goes to our family and friends.
They want to extend gratitude to the marshals and the advocates.
They say while this verdict is decades in the making,
this is not the end of the story. Tupac's legacy
and impact on the world lives on and we will
continue to do everything we can to keep.
Speaker 5 (01:33:12):
His spirit alive.
Speaker 3 (01:33:13):
Ashe, Ashe.
Speaker 10 (01:33:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:33:15):
All right, y'all. So I want to shift gears a bit.
So Mary J.
Speaker 17 (01:33:18):
Blige, she participated in a commercial with a company called Suno.
And they're talking about a new product that they have
that uses AI to help creators create and produce songs.
And she's getting some pushback for it. Let's take a
listen to Mary J. Blige in a commercial. Now, for context,
she's sitting in a studio and they're playing her music
(01:33:39):
that was used with this product.
Speaker 5 (01:33:41):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 4 (01:33:42):
So it is a tool that.
It's crazy. You like it?
Speaker 1 (01:33:58):
It's dope.
Speaker 13 (01:33:59):
I just process because I don't know what the hell
y'all talking about.
Speaker 4 (01:34:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:34:03):
So I like to learn what you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (01:34:04):
No, I get it.
Speaker 3 (01:34:05):
Now it's like, ah, okay, this is pretty dope.
Speaker 5 (01:34:08):
We can play with it more and learn more of
everything that's going on. For sure. It's pretty dope.
Speaker 8 (01:34:12):
Why are we made and married? This is on brand
for her. She don't like people anyway.
Speaker 5 (01:34:16):
This is great. She ain't got to work with nobody.
Speaker 3 (01:34:18):
She's an artist. And the fact that she.
Speaker 5 (01:34:20):
There's a lot of artists that are coming out and
saying that this is taking over.
Speaker 12 (01:34:23):
They don't like AI taking over artistry and creating their
own music and their own sound.
Speaker 3 (01:34:27):
Because now you don't need... actual person you.
Speaker 1 (01:34:29):
Can just exactly how do you know that though like
i don't know why people don't have conversations with these
songwriters these artists these producers because i'm like mary i
have no idea what this technology is but it sounds
like she's in the studio as a human using this
technology to enhance whatever it is like i don't understand
why we don't have more conversations with these producers and
artists instead of just jumping out.
Speaker 4 (01:34:48):
The window and saying you're using ai to replace you what.
Speaker 17 (01:34:52):
I just don't understand why AI can't be one of
them things to teach his own.
Speaker 5 (01:34:55):
If she wants to do it, let her. If she doesn't,
it's fine, too.
Speaker 4 (01:34:59):
I don't know nothing about it. I don't know what
they're using it for. I have no idea.
Speaker 12 (01:35:01):
I think people are mad because people are using the
artist that came out that's a full AI artist, right?
That has number one records and on the charts and
all that and is taking away they feel from artists
that are really good.
Speaker 2 (01:35:15):
That's what people are thinking, though.
Speaker 5 (01:35:17):
Okay. Well, listen... I know that that has happened, but
that's not everybody.
Speaker 8 (01:35:22):
I mean, we do got producers that actually have AI artists,
but we also, like I heard you say Charlotte, like,
I mean, I don't know, like a few days ago
where a few weeks ago where you was like, yo,
what is it? Maybe it can help them improve skills
or something like, how are they using it?
Speaker 5 (01:35:35):
Maybe it works for them in a certain way.
Speaker 8 (01:35:38):
It's not just solely relying on AI because AI do
what you tell it to do. It has to work
for you phonetically, sonically, whatever, but.
Speaker 1 (01:35:47):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (01:35:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:35:48):
I have no idea what pseudo is.
Speaker 5 (01:35:50):
How you make it work for you. Make you money.
Speaker 17 (01:35:51):
A lot of people are going to be trying to
figure it out now, though, that, you know, this whole
thing is beginning to pick up with Mary J.
Speaker 13 (01:35:56):
Blige.
Speaker 8 (01:35:56):
But I don't think she's going to give a damn
about nobody getting mad about it.
Speaker 5 (01:35:59):
It's like, whatever, y'all. I do what I want to do.
Speaker 4 (01:36:01):
Yeah, Mary fine. She survived the crispy chicken commercial. She'll
be able to survive this. Jesus.
Speaker 5 (01:36:04):
She hates when people bring that up. She hate when
people sing it. She said, yeah, that's not right.
Speaker 4 (01:36:09):
And you know what's so crazy about that crispy chicken commercial?
Speaker 6 (01:36:11):
What?
Speaker 4 (01:36:12):
It's her bop now.
Speaker 5 (01:36:13):
Ain't it?
Speaker 4 (01:36:13):
Boy, y'all hated it back then. Boy, that song is
a bop now.
Speaker 2 (01:36:15):
I loved it back then.
Speaker 3 (01:36:16):
It's always been a bop.
Speaker 5 (01:36:17):
You know how many chicken rams?
Speaker 4 (01:36:18):
It's always been a bop.
Speaker 5 (01:36:19):
Especially the beginning part when she say, you said it
was in a chicken wrap. I used to walk around
saying that all day. I did not care. Lord have mercy.
Speaker 10 (01:36:26):
All right, y'all.

to the U.S. Open today, but I don't know how
the weather's going to be.
Speaker 5 (01:38:12):
Oh, damn. So they don't, like, cancel that for the
day if it starts raining?
Speaker 4 (01:38:16):
That's a good question. Is it the U.S.
Speaker 6 (01:38:17):
Closed?
Speaker 7 (01:38:19):
If it rains?
Speaker 3 (01:38:20):
I don't know. That is a good question.
Speaker 12 (01:38:22):
I know they have rain delays and things like that,
but I don't know how bad it's going to be today.
Speaker 5 (01:38:26):
That's the big event.
Speaker 9 (01:38:27):
Okay.
Speaker 11 (01:38:27):
All right.
Speaker 4 (01:38:28):
Listen, I want to tell everybody, make sure you go.
Speaker 1 (01:38:30):
Go and RSVP for my sixth annual Mental Wealth Expo.
It is happening at the Joe and Diane Bloom Wellness
and Events Center in Newark.
Speaker 4 (01:38:38):
New Jersey on October 10th. Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:38:41):
This year we are focusing on nothing but action. We're
going from awareness to action.
Speaker 6 (01:38:46):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:38:46):
This year is all about solutions and we're bringing workshops
and tools and real strategies to support your mental wellness journey.
And it is a free event open to all ages.
We'll be announcing the lineup real soon. Just go to
mentalwealthexpo.com and RSVP to be there. And we'll see you
on World Mental Health Day at the Joe and Diane
(01:39:06):
Bloom Wellness and Adventure Center. in Newark, New Jersey, okay?
Free event open to all ages. Now, the positive note
is simply this. With each passing year, I tend to
care less what people think of me, so... I have
stopped wearing masks for different people and learned to be
me all of the time, okay? One of the best
parts of growing older is realizing you don't need a
different version of yourself for every person you meet. Letting
(01:39:26):
go of the mask and becoming comfortable with who you
are brings a different kind of freedom that approval never can.
Speaker 4 (01:39:32):
Are you comfortable being the same you everywhere? I hope so.
A salute to my people over at The Healing Guide, man.
And we'll see you tomorrow. Breakfast Club, bitches!
Speaker 3 (01:39:42):
We all finished or y'all done? Woke up, woke up,
wake you up. Wake that ass up.
Speaker 2 (01:39:47):
Program your alarm to Power 105.1 on iHeartRadio.
