it off my chest from me because I added CARDI
b asked her to help me out with her street

how are you guys doing this morning? Be good, Jamie,

(04:48):
get it off your chest, mama. Okay, I want to
apologize to my husband Gordon. I tried to let him
be flamed for what I did, and I just want
to say that I was wrong. We of course, you
guys know, we live in a last and when it
gets negative, we have to plug our cars in and
there's an extension that you run from the car into
the heating pole where you plug it in. Well, later

(05:10):
on that night, he bought me a braining car for
our anniversary. That's that he astulated on that night, Jamie,
where's the extension to the plug so I can plug
the car in? And I told him, don't ask me.
I don't, I don't know. I never unplugged the car.
So what happened when I backed out to loss it

(05:31):
somewhere on the road. So you pulled it off at
the plug still in the car. The plug was in
Oh my goodness. Some people run off on the plug.
You drove off on the plug. You pretty much happens.
I'm so sorry, Gordon. I love you. I'm so sorry.
It was hard to find a plug in Alaska. Sure,
it's not hard to find. They're just expensive, okay, expensive, okay, yeah,

(05:54):
but I mean you got you gotta find a plug
with better prices. There you go, you know, and then
and now it's negative forty seven, so it's hard to
get the plugs. Listen to find you a plug with
better prices. Maybe it's somebody in the neighboring state got
it for cheaper. Nobody plugs in their car, but us.
You know what you should do. You should call the
local police station there and say, hey, I'm missing, Yeah,

(06:17):
me and my plug. You know I don't have the
same connect them while I'm looking for a new plug.
Who got cheaper prices? You think you know anybody? Right,

You guys are not helping. Hello. Who's this. Hello, it's Rachel. Hey, Rachel,

(08:08):
get it off your chest. I was calling and say
I am so blessed this morning. My new interactive children's
book is Climbing to Chart Amazons. Okay, congratulation. What's ther name?
What's the name of the book. It's called Amber's Magical
Savings Box. It teaches kids about earning the saving money,
giving those millionaires a headstart on their road to financial freedom.
How is it interactive? But that's dope. Well, the kids

(08:31):
have to write their financial dreams and goals inside the
back of the book. They follow Amber as she earns
money for this magical toy she wants to buy, and
they have to kind of like walk along with her
in this journeys all right, fand teaching kids the value
of how to save and stand. What's the name of
the book again, I'm gonna look it up, Amber's Magical

(08:51):
Savings Box. It's an honor of my niece Amber, we
lost at the age of three. So it's for ages
three to eight year olds, just to get them started.
It's a few they can do savings journals in the
back of it and everything. Okay, thank you mama, all right?
I like that. Hello, who's this? You know it's your boy?
We don't know you? Yeah, I don't know who this is?

(09:11):
Your boy? Franco? Man, what's I mean? Y'all forgot about
me already? Guy, But I gotta get it off my chest. Man.
You know your boys going in for a drug test
today and your boy might fail, so I can tell already,
my goodness dropping the clue bobs for my boy. Franco.
No Franco. Thank on, we gotta get serious, are y'all?

(09:35):
Are y'all? And word hiring up there? No, definitely not
you listen. I love you. I love you. I love
your I don't know what I would call it, but
I love it. You know. I love the fact that
you're just accepting the reality to situation as your probation. No,
I'm just gonna get fired. What kind of dredge you deal? Franko? Oh, now,

(09:56):
now you're not that boy anymore. I'm gonna be honest
with you. I like Franko's attitude because that's my attitude
in twenty nineteen. You just gotta be willing to accept
the things that you cannot control. And I mean, I
guess you could control failing the drug test, But after
you're high and you've already smoked, hey, you can't. All right,
that was getting off your chest eight hundred five A
five one on five one. When we come back, Andrew
Gillim will be joining us, so don't move. It's the
Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is

(10:23):
DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the
Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the Bay,
the guy Andrew Gillim, what's up, everybody? Go back? Good morning, y'all,
and happy New Year. Good to see all all three
of y'all plus the crew, and you know, good to
be back in New York all the way. I wish
it was Warmart. What are you? What are you doing here?
We do too, Yeah, I know it right votes out there,

(10:45):
But what's good? Shut up? They never said. They never said, yeah, yeah,
that's done. He's here to announced this with the President. Yeah.
Not a chance, not a chance. No, no, no, uh no,
that part is over, y'all. But the good news is,
and I'm sure y'all probably followed this, but in Florida,

(11:06):
one point four million former felons returning citizens now have
the right to vote for the State of Florida Amendment
for pass and it can be you know, it's not
a panacea. Doesn't solve everything, because we still got challenges
out there. But can you imagine. I mean, I don't
know if you saw any of the images, but if
you all go back to the eighth of January and

(11:28):
just look at some of the images coming out of
Florida where you saw, you know, grown men dressed in
their Sunday Best showing up at the supervisor's office to
go register to vote, and these guys coming out saying,
you know, I feel a whole for the first time
in my life, I feel seen, or you know any
of that. I mean it was Jacksonville, Orlando, Miami, I

(11:48):
mean Tampa, all over Tallahassee, all over the state of Florida.
That kind of dignity being restored. The right to vote
doesn't completely capture what was happening in that moment for
so many of those folks. So that's that's powerful. I'm
looking forward to. I'm looking forward to doing what I
can do to help make sure that the folks recognize
that this isn't just about the right to vote, but
the power to organize. And it's so ironic that people

(12:11):
that have the right to vote don't vote sometimes and
don't understand the power in that. That's right, Andrew, do
you think you lost the election fair and square? What
I would take responsibility for is that in my state,
when you win, you can't just win, you gotta win big.
And the failure to win big given the structural barriers

(12:33):
that are there, right, the fact that you could have
tens of thousands of voters who requested an absentee ballot,
completed the absentee ballot, put it in the mail, likely
put a stamp on it, because all supervisors don't allow
for free mail back of ballots. And then it got
to the Supervisor of Elections office and somebody who is untrained,

(12:53):
who is not a signature expert, looked at a signature
that was on that ballot and said the W and
this signature doesn't match the one from four years ago,
and therefore I'm going to invalidate your entire ballot. Tens
of thousands. A study was it's crazy. But let me
tell you more crazy is that in twenty seventeen, the
Universe of Florida presenter produced a study that showed in Florida,

(13:15):
for ballots that are rejected over signature, seven out of
ten or people of color. Wow, that's seven out of ten.
But I don't think anybody's signature is the same. I
know my signature is not that the same from four
Come on, man, I've I've been elected. You know, I
was elected almost fifteen years and assigned god knows how
many documents, and I can tell you right now that

(13:36):
my signature was never the same, you know, completely from
year to year on those things that evolved. But but
that's just one example. Take you know, another of you know,
six seven thousand ballots being stuck in a post office,
ballots that were completed, mailed on time, postmarked on time,
but didn't get counted because they didn't derive by election date.

(13:57):
In spite of the fact that there were recounts, still
did not get counted because they wouldn't count it because
it didn't show up at the superprise of Elections office
by election day through no fault of the voter him
or herself. Oh, it's real voter suppression. I mean what
I mean what as I tried to talk to people
post the election, that voter suppression has evolved from fire

(14:19):
hoses and dogs and barricades in front of a voting
booth um. It is much more sophistic sophisticated. We saw
it in Georgia. Georgia was you know, in more overt ways.
But in Florida, the reason why it didn't look so
controversial is because it's the law in my state. Forward, Well,
we gotta we gotta change. I mean, I understand that

(14:40):
I ran under the rules that existed right, and so
I try not to go back and you know, complaining
that way. But what I will tell you, um, we
have got to update the election system. Why is it,
um that you can reject somebody over signature. We have
got to revise and re look at the signature law
in my state. Um, if you come pleach your ballot

(15:00):
and it is postmarked by election day, that ballot ought
to be counted, period. Enuff said, Um, we had to
go to court to get precincts on college campuses. It
ought to be automatic, if you why would we make
it harder for a concentrated group of people who spend
the majority of their day in a singular place that
you gotta fight to have them get access to the

(15:21):
to the to the ballot box. We got to change that,
all right. We have more with Andrew Gilliam when we
come back, don't move. It's to breakfast club. Good morning,
the breakfast club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne,
the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We have Andrew
Gillim in the building. Charlomagne, you know you're a very
classic guy age. But in your gut do you know

(15:44):
you won my mama says, I want okay, okay, all right, okay,
let's I tell my mams like, you can't say that
outside of here, but your baby, I don't care what
they say. You won this thing. I'm like, but there
are some wins when you think about it, right, because
now you're on this really international stage of people that
are like Angel Gillims should run for president. And there's

(16:05):
a lot of things that can be done with the
attention that people have on you now, just from this
election because it was something that nationally everybody was paying
attention to it. Maybe people that hadn't heard you speak
before are now more aware of you and your policies. No,
I mean so, first of all, my faith teaches me
to have to see the glass half full, right, regardless
of you know, regardless of you know, the termoil like

(16:26):
kind of put myself through following the election. But when
you know better, you're supposed to do better. What I
know better now is that and I've known it before,
but now I've got to take some responsibility for doing
this work myself. Is that you just can't keep showing
up in communities that have felt like this process hasn't
worked for them ever. They haven't seen it work for them. Ever,

(16:49):
I don't want anybody to walk away thinking that their
vote doesn't matter, that it doesn't this process doesn't matter.
Like that's not what the lesson is from this. The
lesson is is that every vote matters, and you got
to change this thing for yourself. I can't do it
for you, my supporters, the people who funded our they
can't do it. You got to do that for yourself.
So anything, we got to renew our commitment to this process,

(17:10):
to our communities, to our neighborhoods, to our streets, to
our individual homes, to say I'm going out to vote
to change this thing for me, from my family, from
my neighborhood, from my street. Until we do that, we're
gonna keep losing these elections, and there's nobody to blame
but ourselves at that point. The House. Has the government
shut down really affected Florida? Well, I mean we wor
about the airport. Well, I mean, by the way federal

(17:33):
government's hand is is huge. It's not just Washington, DC.
Is here in New York, it's in Florida, It's all over.
I feel, you know, I feel it when I walk
through the airports. I was jumping on the plane yesterday.
And these are tsa agents that are showing up without
pay and with no sense of when they're going to
get paid, by the way, and with their own responsibilities
and bills to take care of our homes and so

(17:53):
the stress of that, right, the stress of not knowing
any of that by itself. Then you got government contract
there's these are people who are not official employees of
the federal government, but their entire work it's federal, it's
government work, except that through through private contractors who aren't
getting paid either. Um. Um, the impacts on that are tremendous,

(18:16):
the stress for those families. Um, we got to be
a little bit more generous with ourselves and moreover, we
got to activate to get this government to do his
job right. I mean the president throwing a temper tantrum
and then so doing, keeping nearly eight hundred thousand people
from getting paid out of work, impacting the economy by
the tune of billions. Um, it's unacceptable. This is not

(18:38):
adult behavior. This is not what you do with the
most powerful it's allowed to do that. I mean, I
know he's the president of the How can you just say,
you know what I don't like this. I'm shutting the
government down like that shouldn't be allowed. The president the
democracy that's a dictatorship, like it shouldn't be allowed. Yeah,
I mean they look, y'all, this is system that we have. Um.
The truth is is that is not just the president

(19:00):
that's allowedness to happen. You got Mitch McConnell in the
Senate who runs what comes before the Senate. If there
was a vote right now in the Senate of the
United States, even though it's a majority Republican to reopen
the government, it would pass, and I would argue it
would pass unanimous near unanimously. The problem is is the
Republicans have no spine. They've allowed this man to literally

(19:20):
come in and take their party hostage, and all of
them are victim to it. They won't speak up, they
won't push back, they won't hold him accountable. They won't
even open the government for their constituents who are right
now at home suffering because of their lack of a spine.
Are you trying to do this in time for the election,
thinking that the wall was something that he promised that
he wants to make good on. Yeah, Well, his people

(19:43):
love symbols though, so, I mean, yeah, if he did
get that wall them, they probably wouldn't vote film again.
They probably would. But y'all, we all know that that's
a farce. I mean, somebody I saw this me the
other day. America builds a wall and Mexico builds a
ladder right like staircase that to go over Like, we
know that what Trump is selling on this thing is

(20:04):
a lie. Ellicit. Drug entry into this country is coming
through legal borders, um largely overwhelmingly. The fact that the
drug addictions and the epidemic that's taken over the country
as it relates to drugs is finnyl and finnel is
coming from Asia and huge tankers is coming through normal
parts of entry that are supposed to be checked but

(20:24):
they can't even be checked right now because federal government
employees are off work. And I mean, it's but but that,
but y'all know, I mean that that's where a lot
of the epidemic, the drug epidemic in this country is
concentrying it into cocaine. People's difficent cocaine. Absolutely absolutely so.
The truth around, you know, the drug crisis in this

(20:47):
country is the legal borders and the legal entry of
drugs into the country. Um, this border stuff is simply
a play to get Trump's the most loyal supporters to
say that you don't have what you need because of
those people, because of brown people. It's racist. It's completely
open and overt and most of the people that are
illegal immigrants are people who stay overstay their visa completely.

(21:10):
That's the overwhelming number. Completely, I mean the end. If
you look at the charts, I mean, immigration through the
border in this country has been on like a sharp
decline since the start of the Obama administration and quite
frankly a bit before that drug entry. We haven't had
major migration across the border in this country for nearly
twenty years. Right, So it's battle. It's made up, right,

(21:34):
it's made up, y'all. Some people left, they're on their
hat in the ring. Yeah, twenty twenty election. Who do
you like so far? And is their potential for you?
Because I keep hearing your name. Yeah no, I'm I'm
totally hanging out in Florida. But we're happy. Man. To
come out of this was that we have a new
one of a new great black leader in the Democratic part.

(21:56):
I appreciate that. I appreciate it and I appreciate y'all
for always really balancing the demand and the need for
you know, giving people pop culture and information, but at
the same time balancing what they absolutely have to know
about politics and how to how to impact the process.
So thank y'all, Thank you. All Right, Well, it's Andrew
Gillim It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is

But Envy, I've got to let you know from your
social media, we all see how you've been getting money,
and we respect the hustle, but the pristiness pitchers, they

(22:39):
were a little taunting and rustles to other people that
are not out here getting it like you. I would
have restless. You showed us ways and different things other
than slipping the houses on how to get back and
take care of our family for the communities. Also Easy,
you seem to be a little biased, like you're riding
this CARDI b trained, but she on show. Niki no

(23:02):
If you follow my Instagram, you see that I talk
about my toys for my toy drive, I talk about
the Thanksgiving drive that I do in the in the mentoring,
and I also try to help people to learn how
to make money, not just put money in their face.

looking at that, maybe you see other things. I'm waiting
for that. I'm waiting, but I knew the bage was

(23:28):

If you just listening, I'm trying to teach you. I
was waiting for the page raised and make an appearance.
It's that's funny to you. It's hilarious now single morning

(23:49):
you want to stand to Charlottage and oh, I'm ahead,
let's go, Hi Nelson cred of Positive. I wanted to
just start off. I'm saying I love the show. Now
I say what y'all doing, but I appreciate y'all changing
with the climate change, you know society. Look, there's just
a little specific show where Charlemagne, this is where your

(24:09):
splendor come in where you masturbate on your knees. Now,
look that's not that's hey, that's your thing or it
ain't my thing. Whatever. But during that session, Dja Envy
asked angela Ye after angela Ye talked about in shame
Charlamagne for doing that. He said, Angie, do you masturbate
work there? And she said, that's nothing, that's not none

(24:30):
young kids, I think that's inappropriate. How you gonna find
that inappropriate? After you talked about them masturbating. But when
somebody says something to you about anything, you're like, I
got to play fan, Oh that's inappropriate. I can't imagine.
I said that's inappropriate. I have to look back at that.
But I didn't bring up the whole masturbating on my knees.
He brought that up on his own free will. But
you part hook in the conversation and you should have

(24:53):
done it all the way. You know what I'm saying, Charlemagne,
I got an issue with you. You You you do
like when I feel like when it's an issue with women,
you try to like overdrew it, like, oh women are like, okay,
women trying to be equal to us, great, but you
make it so weird. They're over us if we're gonna

(25:15):
be equal, but we are over you. Yeah, I'm gonna
be honest with y'all. Don't know if you know or not,
but women are the CEOs of my life. Okay, I
think God could possibly be a black woman. So I
don't know what you're talking about, sir. I know my
wife runs my life, my mother runs my life, or
my homegirls round my life. I don't know what you're
talking about. My daughters running my life. Sorry, Day Trio

king of Arn energy. Yeah, I'm gonna tweet that King
of Arn vibes. Ye don't think we were getting a
remix of Living My Best Life now. I said, if
Will Smith don't do it, I ain't doing no remix.
He didn't do it. You thought it was going to

(31:34):
happen now I had I had inside words from a
couple of people telling me he want to do what
he gonna do it. So I was like, all right,
if you do it, it's cool. If he didn't, I
ain't gonna be mad that he was vibing to it
on his Grandmoe vibing to it. Everybody vibes to it.
Hype man today. I'm always just like, it's my man,
your boy do. If your boy ain't hyping you up,
get you a new homeboy. I read that, and I mean,

(32:01):
if you man, Oprah, Oprah been been curving me since
I tried to hit up in the DMS. You really
wouldn't know. Na Oprah hit me when she she left
a comment. When she left a comment that was the
old magazine, the same thing, you win. It's a win
still my joy. Come on, it's her magazine. When she

(32:23):
said when they left that comment, I was like, there
it's a chance. There you go. So I was d
M and all the time she never replied from the
Oprah magazine account. I was waiting to see if it's
said scene, if it said scene or you were M
and op Now I was DM and I was like,
hey boo, just saying hello every morning, good morning, beautiful,

(32:43):
and it never seen. I never said scene I think
she saw you know how you see it? But you don't.
Don't you don't open it. She probably put on airplane
mode and then looked at it. Speaking of the airplane
you just bought two of them? Who mean, look at
Wait a minute, you can put your your phone on
airplane mode. I can't tell yall about that. Oh my god.
What if you want to look at the d M

(33:03):
and they don't see you look at it? You just
put it on, put it on airplane mode, close it
out and look? Are you sure that works? It worked
for me. People say they't, They like, you don't never
look at my stuff? I say, I do this, guys.
What about the two planes you just bought? Two plane?
Come on now, another one? Got to listen out. I
want y'all think I'm out here super Bowl and then

(33:24):
nothing like that? About two small planes. One of them
I bought to learn how to fly. The other one
I bought the work in to go with my tour,
living my best life to this. It's amazing. So they're
not drones, they're actual planes. They're real planes. Man. They're small.
The first one small, like like like an Obama plane.
But man, but it's a good plane. Though you No,

(33:45):
we've been flying. We've been flying most our career. Haven't
you been flying? You're flying on big planes, so you
know how to fly the plane. You're actual problem learning.
I'm learning. It's just like when I started scoop diving.
I didn't get my my certification to like two years after.
You know, I wouldn't recommend nobody else let's do that.
But that's I learned that as I go. That's what
I'm doing now. We can't expect most of your songs
to be this good, fun, positive energy vue. Yeah, I

(34:07):
feel good vibe. That's why I try. That's what we'll
pull up, Pull up, everybody tell me like I'm the
life of the part that I bring joy to the world.
So that's what this song about. Introduce the record. The
name of the song is called pull Ahead featuring Tid
Dollar Song. It's loving, joyful song, all right, get into
it right now. It was the Breakfast the morning, all right.

(34:27):
That was a little bud on that record. To the
next level A feature from Soldier Boy. No, I'm right now,
come on, son, Soldier, Soldier Soldier pull out, come on, No,
I can't do it. I'm good. I like I like
the Joy guys on and I'm thinking about putting putting
a rap on it. I think I should put on
this sold you no a real rapper? Keep playing with

(34:50):
Soldier now come to the videos, Come on, come on?
But makes you you put pull up in the song
in the background. Rest in peace to the kool Aid. Yeah,
rest in peace to meet kool Aid. I mean it
affected me, but it affected me with because I had
time to plan for it, Like I've been doing kool

(35:11):
Aid for like, uh seventeen years, and he found out
he had canceled like five years ago, and so the
last year that's when he came out. So we already
we was already preparing ourselves for it. But even when
you prepare for it, you're still you still feel feel
a certain type of way. But I don't feel no
hurt from it because I knew it was gonna happen,
and I think he was here for as long as

(35:32):
he was supposed to be here. But I just blessed
that because I believe it or not, I really believe
I met God through him. Really, Yeah, You've always had
a strong relationship with God. To explain, I just felt
like I met God through him. Because just everything high
played out, how everything happened, and and just like when
I when I went to him on his deathbend, and
how we just the situation when we was talking, and

(35:54):
I mean, well he wasn't talking and decembol symbol. I
don't know. Cry. No, I mean I cry, but I
don't cry because I'm hurt because I see cry because
posting so much. I didn't know. I honestly didn't know.
I just seen you post the other day talking about
when he was in the bed, and he was like,
you guys are talking about your life is so bad.
Look a kool aid he found about? Oh yeah, yeah,
because that's that's where living my Best Life came from.

(36:16):
That's where it was inspired. I honestly did. But that's
what that's what social media do. Like if I'm posting it,
if I missed the post I missed about, we all do.
But but the energy of him, it seemed like he
was still alive even in them posts I post. He
was hurt. I mean he was hurting. He was he
could barely walk and do anything, but he was still
living his best life. That's why I don't feel too
sorry for people that complain about stuff because if he

(36:39):
was happy like that, because as soon as he found out,
were like, all right, we're gonna live this, lived this
until you stopped, and that's what we did. So that's
why I wasn't hurt from it, because he did everything
he wanted to do. Even at the end, I kind
of knew he was gonna go, and he kind of knew,
but we didn't say nothing, but we knew what it was,
you know what I'm saying. So it was just I
just felt like I was able to meet God and

(36:59):
he put a lot of good stuff in me in
that time that he was here. Now what's better the
comedy money or the music money? It ain't about the
money with me. You ain't ask you that. Honestly, I
ain't seen no no music money year no, not from
the song and they say you, I mean from performing
years he start getting some money. It's been six months.

(37:21):
I don't know if he come me, come and told
me my bitches generated thirty five million. Now don't you
go with them? Exactly? That's the soldier by millions of millions.
Many It don't matter thirty million, two million different fogram, No,
it ain't you You can buy anything, yes, with two

(37:44):
million that you could buy with thirty million. It ain't
no difference. Yeah, I say that, Well, most things to
flex on the Instagram. Yeah, you can buy all the Jerry,
all the cards, rent the cards, get you a jet
rint that I can put one hundred thousand dollars and
fifties on the gram right now and say it's a
million of people to believe me. Yeah. Did you see
that the show when they showed the dude put what's
that show? When they when they the carjackings car jacket shots,

(38:07):
they put a bag of money in there. The boys
walk by and say that's twenty million dollars that No,
he didn't said, Man, it might be a billion dollars
in that bad billion billion dollars the difference in money, man,
These young kids stupid. Now. What were your thoughts on
the Surviving Our Kelly documentary? And the reason I ask
you because you have been on the internet for a

(38:28):
long time and you did a spoof or Kelly interview
back in the day. Yeah, And do you feel like
comedians should like stop making jokes about it after watching
the documentary? No, but I think the documentary shows reflection
our society as a whole. On what we're dealing with,
and it's it's just like a you look in the mirror,
because everybody has something like that person in their life.

(38:49):
To me, is bigger than just messing with a young girl.
I think it's just taking advantage of the week, and
that can be any age. So we need to address
that more than anything. And and then if you address that,
then that to kill all that because that's all they're doing,
trying to get somebody that's weak and young people are
easy to manipulate. Abusive power, Yeah, it's abusive power in
any type of way. So it's it's bigger than just

(39:10):
messing with young girls. To me, it's bigger than it's
being just and abusive power. And that's what all they do.
They they prey on the week. If you pray on
the week is wrong any type of way. And that's
that's how I feel about all that. When we get
that done and all that stuff are trickled down the ecosystem,
make it right. No, that's true because if you think
of every power dynamic, racism is a power dynamic. It's

(39:31):
white versus the minority powers. It's all on the one.
So that's this and that comes from just being the
change you want to see and just and just trying
to put that into your own, your own community. And
then they trickled down into everything else. Now that was good.
That was good, and I even think of that was

(39:53):
freestyle conversation after the job. No, I didn't. I think
she's too young right now, she'll be living on the
only seven. But you gotta start talking. You don't have
to talk to him about it because you know what
happened with the orchestra stuff and make the young people
that didn't know him knowing. So the young girls that's
chasing them, young dudes that made them turn them on.
So you just opened up a whole nother Parandora box

(40:13):
and you not even brought them up, like you gotta
kill people with silent. You gotta ignore it and then
they'll die down because he was damn damn. But not
even even aside from just R Kelly just a conversation
about listen, you gotta talk to me about any one
thing I talked to him about. I did talk to
about human trafficking. That's worse than me. Lord. You can't,
you can't. You can't even avoid that, especially like in
Atlanta and stuff for super Bowl, it's impossible to crack down.

(40:35):
Have you seen that movie about it? No lads, Alonzo
and all them, um Dion Taylor produced it. But it's
really real, like trafficking. You got certain cities in America
that the whole city has made their money off of trafficking,
so they let it go. Yes, really yeah. I didn't
even realize because you know, you see the little signs

(40:55):
in the airport to say, if you see somebody human trafficking.
I'm I didn't realize, like they are. Really it's like
they're just praying on the younger. What does that look like? Though?
What does human trafficking look like? I don't know. I
think it's more so like I guess it's just making
people aware because and it didn't do it at first,
but didn't after while I stop putting two two together,
So I guess it's like they had some they had

(41:16):
some dude putting up in the school, but going to kids,
you know, and kids get on the bus and they like,
that's what's real. That's a big issue, you know. But
so that's what I talked to her about. Like the
other stuff, I think a lot of stuff the way
I raised it will kind of she won't have to
deal with these these dudes. That's that's praying on young dudes,
because I mean praying on young girls because she gotta

(41:38):
she gotta father figure for the most part, and she
know and I in the way I moved. They followed by.
People follow more than they listen. You know, you could
talk to your kids all day, but they really go
by what you do. So I try to be to
be the example that I want her to see, be
the type of dude that I won't her to be with.
It's really that simple. All that talking did it work
for y'all when y'all was young bit later on in life,

(42:02):
Like Dan, he was right, my dad was right, and
my mom was right. But a lot of stuff that
that stuck with me from my family was stuff that
they did, like like I have to eat at a
table just because I was raised like that. It wasn't,
she told me. It's just we always did it. So
a lot of stuff was was by the action she
did more so than what she said. So that's what
I tried to do with my daughter. A we have
more with little Duke Vaul when we come back. Don't

(42:23):
move this to breakfast club. The morning Morning. Everybody is
DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the guy we are the
breakfast club. Little Duvall is here, Charlemagne. If you was
Kevin hard, how would you have handled that Oscar situation?
Like I said, but told him before, you cared too much.
He cared way too much about stuff that don't really matter.
At the end of in his life. He looked stress

(42:44):
on this show the other day. He looked like he tied.
He's been running around doing a lot. I hosted the screen.
That looked like more than just that looked like life.
That looked like he tied him everything. He looked like
he taled working. He need to come down to mind
how and chilling vine? Which house? Either one? Y'all keep

(43:05):
trying to throw this money stuff back, you got it.
I don't promote money like that, man, because the money
picture in front of your plane, like my plane just
bought another that's a little plane, and it was killing
me about my Obama plane. I don't care about that
because I don't. I do it to inspire people to
get more. Well with that, I try to get more
people in the aviation and flying more because from what

(43:27):
I've seen, I've seen a whole other world since I've
been getting in the flying planes, like a lot of
people do it, and we ain't doing it right, So
it's like we probably need to get more into flying.
And actually no, it's I save money. That's why I
say I use it for tour because it might cost
my plane six seven hundred dollars to fill up if
I put four people in. I save money on Delta.

(43:48):
I ain't gotta pay Delta, but yeah, you gotta paid
for a pilot. But it's still if I'm spending Like
if I got like five people with me, that's about
four thousand dollars in itself, an't it? If you fly first,
I mean, well, let's say three thousand. Then that's still
more than what I'm going to spend on flying my
own plane. How a plane costs, I mean that costs.

(44:11):
I'm saying for me, Like it ain't for an average person,
but for people when you get to a certain certain
level in your life where you can it makes sense,
you know, And I can write it off in my
business your plane. No, I'm not that guy. I'm not
a Caribbnb. How can you flying the plane? In mind?
I can go about five hundred miles, So I mean,
how long is that? What's that about? Uh? About four

(44:33):
and a half? Five? About four and a half. But
I ain't gonna never go that far on that play.
If I got to go out West Coast, I'm just
fly regular plant. Ye, but you gotta pay one pot.
You gotta have two polots. And that's another thing I
only got. That's why I got the plane I got
because only one pilot gotta gotta fly. I don't need
two pilots, because if you get a jet and stuff,
you need two pilots, and that's more money. Right, I'm

(44:54):
risk broke. I know, I know what I'm doing. I'm
not no trying to ball and trying to stun. I
do it to show people there's other ways to come
up and make money and enjoy. And I like flying.
I like the vision you have vision. Yeah, actually I
really do. I don't, oh do you? I don't know yet.
I ain't took the tensh yet. I'm still learning. I'm
learning how to take off land, little stuff like that,

(45:16):
but I'm gonna inficially get to it. I talk about
this post you posted this morning. You said no woman
has all five one the ability to know what they
want to eat. Come on too, a father figure, Come
on three, fire, come on five, it's five? No are four?
Don't want to be popular in five? Common sense? Common sense?

(45:40):
I'll just with him at the lands when just to
piss them off. So you don't think no woman has
all five of them lying? I don't think all women
is hard. The most most women side big girls, it's
hard for them to figure out what they want. I
don't know. I don't know. I don't know who you know?
You know big girls know what's up. They don't all
the restaurants. No, I'm not talking bad on them because
they they showed love. That was my goal for twenty nineteen.

(46:03):
I want to have sexually big girl. I've never had
no That's why specialty like curvy big girls. I don't
like box built big girls. Yeah, I don't like box
built girls like I like curvy like she looked like
she used to be fine when she was young. You
might curvy big girl. I'm gonna try. We got five

(46:23):
women in here. No, how do y'all feel about that list?
What do you think? Which one you got? All those things?
You got all? Yeah, all of them? I'm you know
what you want to eat a father figure? You got
five of course. Okay, uh, don't want to be popular?
You know you popular? Don't come on, all three of

(46:45):
us are. Yeah, no, you should see how text thread
we got no goddamn text thread. Okay, Taylor, what about you?
I have a father figure. Okay, so that's it my life.
That's one thing for my dad, father figure, father figure.

(47:08):
That Zaddy, That don't count you, Okay, anything with a
Z and dad. I'm just kidding. I'm gotten bad. Okay,
that's hard. For the fourth one, don't want that's right?
When that camera she could jump in front of it,
that's no. No, came over here so fast. That's one

(47:30):
of the reasons why I don't like young girls no more,
because every one of them that I've met want to
be popular. Every one of them. Reason when you say popular,
When you saying popular, what do you mean by that?
Just want to be in front of the camera like you.
Right now, I'm asking question, answering question. I'm talking about
my work. Yes, I wanted to be popular. Yes, you

(47:50):
want your work to be popular, But you don't want
to be in front of the camera. If I go

I might have surprised guests. You know what I'm saying,
Come out perform, you know, so stuff like that. So
just come out to the show. All right, Well, we
think better for you than it is for me, because
I'm here to entertain. Y'all. Duvall just came here for
us to play a song too much? Play it again,
I'm gonna get it on in. No play it again
now you're not gonna put it in, mich that that's
what you tell the mother. Play man right after this

(50:26):
go off? How did you douce it again? Put the
camera back on me? How y'all going, Little Duvall, Big Duvall?
I went from smile bitch to put up playing that.
It's the breakfast club. Good morning, It's time for Donkey
of the Day. I'm a democrat, so being Dunky of

(50:48):
the Day a little bit of a mixed club. So
like a day. No I've been called a lot of
my twenty three years. But Donkey of the New Wife,
Donkey to Day goes to a young rapper, knowing his
famous decks. Now, listen, young man, I'm not trying to
disrespect you, just want to give you a little game.

(51:09):
I'm not taking any sides in this situation. I just
feel that Famous Decks is overreacting. Okay, see Big Draco
aka DeAndre Cortez Way, a founding father of hip hop,
a godfather of hip hop, commonly known to the world.
A Soldier Boy was on the Breakfast Club and he
had this to say about Famous Decks. I started this Internet,

(51:29):
I started the wave. I'm the reason why these new
artists getting signed. I'm the reason why it's a little pump.
I discovered Chief Keith. Any of these artists is hot
right now. Rist the Kid used to sleep on my
couch Famous Decks. I was the first person to fly
Famous Decks to La. He was taxed on Deck Money
game before he signed a Risty Kid. Now, I can't
tell someone what to take offense to. I can't tell
someone what to be disrespected by it. But I don't

(51:49):
feel as if Soldier Boy was distant Famous Decks at all.
Do you Angeli e now, do you envy? Nope? Okay, Well, look,
everybody has somebody who gave them the first opportunity, gave
them their first look, gave them their first position. All
of us have someone we can attribute our first taste
of success to that person who helped us get in
the door. Hell, that person who might have just showed

(52:12):
us where the door was. Okay, we all got that
one individual, everybody, So I don't understand what Famous Decks
is mad about. Hell, even if soldiers just flew Famous
Decks out and recognized his talent, you know, shout at
him out and empowered him just by acknowledging him, that
was cool. Okay. I didn't think it was nothing wrong
what big soldiers said, But Famous Decks did all right.
Famous Decks took the Instagram Live with a semiotic weapon

(52:33):
of some sort to express his disdain for what Big
Draco had to say. Let's hear it, you ain't put
me on ship, bro, you just wanted to rap my way.
Soldier had to watch your mouth and start doing coke, bro,
because I come here as I'll pop up and smack
go as what you SOLDI were you on hunting, But
don't say you don't put my name you know off Now,

(52:55):
I tell y'all every day I'm not the highest grade
of weed in the dispensary. But the big soldiers saying
he put Famous Decks on turned into him Instagram getting
a potential violent conflict with Soldier Boy like Deck, Come on, man,
you're getting money, all right, You got a decent career
going for you. From what I can see, there's nothing
Soldier Boys said on the Breakfast Club that warrants you

(53:16):
being on social media with a chopper threatening violence. Pull
up for what? Pull up to do? What? To throw
your life away? Because Soldier Boys said he knew you
before everybody else. I don't understand the logic. Okay, how
about just pull up a chair and sitting enjoy the
interview with Big Draco like everybody else. One thing I'm
you know, not even remotely trying to do in twenty

(53:38):
nineteen is caused issues between black men, especially young black
men that are out here getting money. So I think
it's very important to tell guys like Decks, bro, you're
tripping tripping all right now. I wish I would have
saw this because I would have reached out the Soldier
Boy and told him, don't even respond, and if you
do respond, respond in a different way. Because Soldier Boy
and Famous Decks got on Instagram Live together, what did

(53:58):
the young kids call it? Being on each other's lives?
Live lives lives live? Being on each other's lives. Okay,
I don't know who invaded who's live uh first, But
this is soldier boy and family's deck's arguing about absolutely
nothing on I g lives, not rather and that's fact.
You can't say no more, bro, you bitch fact. Hey stop,

(54:24):
I want I want to stop, tell you you fuck
it's something my mom don't get back. You stop wearing
the FAA and look when I see you ain't gonna

(54:45):
donna do what you're doing. What you're gonna do. What
hilarious started to say Jesus Christ, but instead of Jesus
Christ nowadays, I'm gonna say Soldier busy. Okay, that's the
real Lord and Savior. But you know, that exchange just
shows me that arguing with a fool only proves that
there are two. All right, Seriously, let's just be a

(55:06):
teachable moment. We all have to be intentional with where
we put our attention. In twenty nineteen, my great friend,
my partner, my homie, little Duvall told you in the
Book of Duvall, chapter one, verse two, not to go
back and forth with theseys, and that exchange you heard
was a prime example. Why. Okay, they say, arguing with
an idiot makes two of them. So sometimes you just

(55:28):
got to leave people alone when it comes to certain subjects,
and this is one of those times Famous Decks should
should have just been left alone on this one, Famous Decks.
I want the best for you, Soldier boy. I want
the best for you, all your young black men. I
want the best for you, but you have to want
the best for yourselves. Okay, this whole exchange was goofy
as hell, dex If you had a problem with what
soldier boys said, it's the way they express that without

(55:48):
threats of violence and guns. I would like for you
young brothers to find other ways of communicating other than
thumb thugging, broadband blooding, and cyber cripping. And please stop
putting things on family members. Why everybody, you're always putting
things on family members, on your son, on your mama,
on your grandma, everybody relaxed if you guys don't think
y'all can have civilized conversations calling the dot in the

(56:10):
culture that can mediate these type of situations. Because I'm
tired of seeing young black men online looking stupid. And
it's not about who's right or who's wrong in this situation,
because y'all both look crazy. And this is a prime
example of why you never argue with a fool, because
people from a distance can't tell who's who. Please get
famous decks to sweet sounds of the Hamletones. Oh no

(56:33):
you are Dogee the da Gee, Oh the day ye that.
I don't want no smoke. Don't be on the Instagram.
What you Chopper talking about me later? Okay, I'm just

(56:55):
trying to give you a little bit. Next the Breakfast
Club back, you're checking out the world's most Dangerous morning show.
Morning Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest
in the building, Sparkle. Welcome now, Sparko. I have to

(57:16):
say when I first found out about the Surviving R.
Kelly docuseries, they had asked me to moderate a panel.
The first thing I asked Lifetime, because this was before
I came out. I said, Sparkle in it? Really? They say, yes,
Sparkle is in the directories. All right. Why did you
ask that, though, Well, because I knew you had ties
to R. Kelly from back when you were his artists,
and then I knew that it was your niece, and

(57:37):
you had testified in the trial, so I figured that
would be some powerful testimony somebody who was there first. Yea, yeah, yeah,
you know. Yeah, let's start getting sparkle. How did you
hook up with all Kelly as far as recording artist's
let's start there, Let's get that start there, right, okay?
Um eighty nine in the studio. He was working on
Billy Ocean at the time and actually a girlfriend and

(58:00):
introduced me. She and he were real cool. She wanted
him to hear me sing, and then in ninety two
I was asked to come down to sing for him.
And then I am the girl behind all the backgrounds
on Eliah's first album, so I got to sing that
except for a jutting but a number because you know, yeah,
when yeah, when that came out, I was like, what's

(58:21):
this song? I was like this, this is not a
song that we did, you know? But you know, yeah,
at the time when you first met him, was there
anything Did you see anything funny going on with R
Kelly with him into young girls or did you know
he was stating alia at the time. Did you know
that they have a relationship. Did you see any of
that when you were doing background vocals for R. Kelly.
I ain't see not a thing. Look, I was working
a job in ninety two when he came and was like,

(58:43):
you know, can you do this, do this for me,
do the backgrounds for me. I was working at nine
to five, so I would, you know, leave the job,
come to the studio do my job there. You know,
I'm in the booth at the you know, at the mic,
singing pretty much the whole time. I didn't see anything
going on. But mind you, Verry Hankering Hankerson is right there.
That's Alio's uncle, blood uncle, her parents are there. Who's

(59:08):
thinking to be looking for anything? You know what I mean.
So I wasn't thinking about anything outside that's going on,
you know what I mean. So no, I didn't see
nothing at all. Watching the docum series, you see that
he really did keep people separated. Oh yeah, that's that's
what he does. He doesn't like for you to frattenize
with each other, like he had other artists, you know,
other than other than myself, although I'm the only one

(59:29):
that came out. Um, he didn't want us talking to
each other. You know what I'm saying. It's like, what's
going on? I was like that, ain't me. I'm not
that chick. I'm gonna speak to you we've seen Alia's
mother and make a statement and say that what people
are saying happening didn't happen, and that it's a lot
of lies in the docu series. How do you respond

(59:49):
to something like that? Well, I mean I don't know
her story, you know what I mean. Friends actually said
they actually seen it if Yeah. Actually she's an actual
girl that I met while working on Eliah's album. Um,
I didn't even know her then I met her there
Now for yourself. There with r Kelly ever strange to you?

(01:00:10):
Like did he ever come on to you? You know, Robert,
of course you liked me. You know, he's a handsome guy.
But I you know, I didn't want to mixmatch those lines,
so to speak. You know what I mean. I'm there
to do a job. I'm there to get my career
on there after the Eliah situation, you know, from ninety
two to ninety six, I had no really real interaction

(01:00:30):
with him at all, So I don't know anything that
was going out. Ain't going no tours with him, you know,
I didn't do any of that. But you know, in
ninety six, I was, you know, asked to come back
and do some more backgrounds for him, I thought, And
two songs in he was like, yo, he came in
to booth. Yo, we're gonna work on your stuff now
you know what I mean? Um? And then after that
working on my working on my stuff. Then I introduced

(01:00:53):
the family. Right, so you never had a relationship with
all Kim no that type of relationship, and he had
a business. But me and Robert were real tight, really
cool like family. I thought, so right right, you know,
and at that time the marriage to Eliah had happened,
but you thought it was all a hoax? Yeah, like
who who who's thinking a fifteen year old is gonna marry?
Like your mama and daddy are there? Your uncle was there?

(01:01:15):
Who was even thinking that? Like? Did you think that
was real at the time? I remember that time, right
before the Lightsonse even showed up. I remember that time.
I did think it was fake yea. And there was
a rumor and they kind of played into it like exactly,
but Robert does that like even prior to you know,
my album coming out, you know, we're we're at the

(01:01:36):
McDonald's called rock and Roll McDonald's in Chicago that we
used to hang out, that he hung out at a
lot um high school kids, you know, And and these
two girls came, Oh, Kelly, Kelly elly man. Then they
still like, oh, is that your girlfriend? And he was
like yeah, yeah, and I was like tapped on. I
was like, and don't be saying that to them. I

(01:01:57):
was like, I don't want nobody thinking that we liked
that like that, you know what I mean. And he
was like, no, no, no, see, this will make them
you know, by your records. You know, if I'm your
you know, if they think I'm your guy, like careful Vie. Yeah,
he does those type of things. So you know, even
with the Eliah thing, when when did you realize that
he was into young girls. I didn't realize that until

(01:02:20):
the tape surface. Tape surface, And you know what, I
wish I had of known before introducing my family, like
I introduced my entire family. We're a musical family. And look,
Robert had just got a situation with Interscope. He was
taking me to Interscope. He was leaving the other artists

(01:02:42):
on jibe, you know what I'm saying. So he was
gonna need bodies my family's a musical family. Let me
see if I can put them in there everybody. Yeah,
and you know, let them be stars like he was
about to make me. You know. So I introduced my niece. Um,
she you know, my sister, and my brother in law
brought her down I and just throw you know what

(01:03:02):
I mean? So I introduced her correctly. Okay. So when
you did put out your project right, which did well?
What happened after that? So Robert had um, we were
actually working on the second album, Woman's Threat his song
that's actually my song? Wow. So yeah, I recorded three
songs on my second album before asking to be released

(01:03:22):
from him. He finally you know, let me go. Why
did you ask to be released? Because it wasn't a
good space with he and idamore. He was inserting himself
in my personal life. Actually before my before the first
album came out, there was a big meeting because Robert
said he was taking my deal away from me. Yeah. Wow,
so he did because I had a boyfriend and because

(01:03:43):
I had told this person that you know, I was
the only person going to interscope and he was pissed, damn.
So there was a big meeting. M Barry Hankerson Robert.
I brought my parents and the meeting happened at the
Hyatt out and at the old Heir Airport area in Chicago.
The killer for me and I should have took keyed

(01:04:05):
at that point was he sat there and speaking to
me and my parents and he told my mom and
my dad your daughter so fine. I was just looking
at her. I'm sorry, my mama and my dad, What
did your your daddy do? My daddy bucked his eyes
and looked at me. And then when we left there,

(01:04:27):
because still I was fueling at this point, I was
like sinking, like just just say that. I can't believe
he said that and on everything, and they didn't beat
his ass. And your family was there. I'm surprised. Why
didn't they don't know? I think just a night, even
just even me in the business. This is my first out.
I don't know nothing, you know what I mean. We

(01:04:49):
left out of there. I'm in the back seat of
my parents car and my dad turns around. He's like, baby,
I ain't gonna even say what he said, but I
should have took keys all right? We got more, which
Parker when we come back, keep it locked us to
breakfast club. Good morning, Envy Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy.
We are the breakfast club. We have Sparkle in the
building from Surviving R. Kelly. When you first seen the

(01:05:09):
tape or heard about the tape, what did you do?
What was your reaction because you never told us? Yeah? Okay,
So a lawyer, lawyer called my home phone. I don't
know how he got it, but he called me and
he stated to me, there is a tape that possibly
has one of your family members on it, and I
would like for you to go to your sister and

(01:05:31):
your brother in law and get them to acquire me
as their lawyer. So I can, you know, defend them
in this tape. I was like, absolutely not because I
don't know that that's my family member on the tape.
So okay, he said, I can send one of my
associates over to show you. I was like, all right,

(01:05:51):
you know, send them. I called my oldest brother. I
was like, yo, they saying it's a tape with somebody
on it, come down here and view it with me.
He was like okay. I called him back. I was like, okay,
me and my brother's gonna view it here. Was like no, no, no,
hold up, hold up, only you can see it, so
you know. I was like, okay, bro, don't come. I'm

(01:06:11):
gonna be okay. When I left the nest, my daddy
hands me off with a banger, so I'm gonna be
good one way or the other. Gave your gun. You
gave your gun? Yes, he did, said, yeah, yeah, but um, however, um,
the guy comes. He shows me the tape, the first
few seconds of it. I don't know if you're all

(01:06:33):
seen it, but I couldn't see any more of it.
I said, shut it off. That you know that is her. Um.
He calls the lawyer. The lawyer's like, okay, can you
know we get your family to view view this blah
bla blah blah blah. I was like, let me check. Um.
The guy leaves, call my family and the uproar like
she's on a tape, La da da, And you're not
even thinking that your sister and brother in law or

(01:06:55):
know about this or I don't think about it already.
I don't know. I still don't know, you know what
I mean, because they're not talking to me. But any who, Um, yeah,
that happens. I call the family. They say, we want
to view it. And then maybe an hour or thirty
to an hour later, thirty minutes to an hour later,

(01:07:16):
everybody's like, no, we don't want to see it. Uh,
tell them stop, don't come Like, what's what's going on?
You know what I mean? So I was like, okay,
Robert Donna got to him. Now I was I was
thinking about this, right, and I've been thinking about this
hard as a father. You know, there's no amount of
money you could pay for my daughter. But then I
had to think about it like this. You know. The

(01:07:36):
one good thing about her not coming out is nobody
know who she is. She can live her life now,
you know. I mean, she could walk there, she could
walk in here right now, and we wouldn't know who
she was because we don't necessarily know. She never testified.
Her name is not out there. We don't know. But
if she would have testified, and if she would have
took that stand a face to be plastered everywhere and

(01:07:58):
not that her life is I don't know what they
show a miner's face and everything from you. I don't
think they can't put her name out. They didn't, but
until now and then and the other issue is aren't
they still like cool with r. Kelly. I've heard rumblings,
but I don't know. What's the last day to your sister? Uh,

(01:08:18):
the last time I spoke to her. It's probably right
after my mom passed. Have you spoke about the tape
at all? After it came out? Have you having a conversation.
They don't want to have that conversation with me. No,
they don't want to ask at all. They don't want
to have that conversation. What about what you need? I've asked,
but they don't want to have that conversation for me.
I still treat her with kid gloves because she was
so young. Man, I don't know her. I don't know

(01:08:40):
what she would do, you know what I mean? So
I really treat her with kid gloves. And but I
told her when we did come back in good graces,
I was a strange for ten years from my family
behind this um for speaking up speaking, I'm telling the truth,
you know. And and in twenty eleven my parents fiftieth anniversary,

(01:09:01):
we did a bit to do for them, and that's
how we came back together. Now that this has come
back up, um, back where we were again, you know
what I mean, not speaking and what happened but she's
beautiful on the outside, I know, I don't I know,
she's screaming on inside, you know what I mean. So
I don't know that she's gotten any help or anything

(01:09:22):
like that. Now you've said that there were a lot
of things that weren't in the documentary that you wish
it would have been in there, and things that you said, like,
what are some of those things? So yeah, just the
fact that people are thinking that I just threw my
niece out there. No, yeah, they say he did not
definitely blame you to coming to me in the documentaries.

(01:09:42):
It doesn't necessarily explain well enough exactly to seem like
everybody heard what was going on with all Kelly, and
you still introduced she did say that, um, you know,
Barry Hankerson was there. She didn't think that whole thing
was the marriage is real. She thought it was a hoax.
All of that was left out, you know what I mean.
So I sat in that hot seat for four and

(01:10:03):
a half to five hours. It's a six hour documentary.
They can't put me all through there. So some stuff
it's gonna have to, you know, land on the cutting
room floor. So yeah, and people gone, you don't think
what they're gonna think because of them not putting everything
in there. I called my sister when I saw her down,
when I asked, you know what you're doing here by yourself?

(01:10:23):
And thirty two an hour later, my brother in law
shows up. So never left my niece in no studio
by herself, and never would us to live in Chicago.
I do have you ran into all Kelly seen him?
Because I seen him running around. Have you bumped into
each other at all? One time? Maybe three years or
so ago, he came in a restaurant that a friend

(01:10:44):
of ours owned at the time, and he was He
looked scared, like I was gonna jump on or something.
But no, I ain't got I ain't got nothing to
say to the dude. Now. A let of the women
say that they've been getting threats, Oh yeah, and on
their lives, Like, have you been threatened since all this happened?
Has anyone threatened you? Not? You know on social media?

(01:11:04):
You need to do this? Yeah, you know what I mean. No,
but I ain't worried about them. You know, God got me.
I ain't tripping on them. But yeah, I don't understand
why they threatened everybody else. I mean he's the one
doing it, but I mean even people people within his circle,
like his former his former manager making threats. Everybody can't

(01:11:26):
probably making threats. Yeah, so I don't understand that the
whole thing, Like, are y'all willing to go down in
flames for dude behind this? Like these are young girls,
you know? And and even still even with my knees,
you know, all them people were around and seeing all
this stuff, like y'all, I'm holding y'all accountable too, because
as an adult, y'all should have said something, you know

(01:11:48):
what I mean, she's a kid fourteen years old, like,
come on. And I know they were very clear on
the documentary with all the women, how separated everybody was.
And you even said, no one can speak to you, Yeah,
would try to speak and it was and even with
his wife, his ex wife. Yeah, I want to clear
that up too. Um when you when you see the
piece in there of her knocking on her bedroom door

(01:12:10):
to come out to grab something to eat, and I'm there,
um with Robert and some other people, and I'm hearing
the knock. He ain't you know responding to it. I'm like,
somebody knocking. I don't like lock that he had to unlocking. No, no,
it wasn't locked. She just has permission to come. And
I was when when he said yeah and come on,

(01:12:33):
I'm like, you a piece of work? How dare you?
How dare you? And he just I'm like, that's funny.
It ain't funny. All right, we got more with Sparker
when we come back. Keep it locked as the Breakfast Club.
Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club.

(01:12:55):
We have Sparkle in the building from surviving r Kelly Ye.
Now as far as other women who are the survivors,
have you for us any relationships with any of them?
I've not met any of them. The only person I
do know is Jamante Okay, yeah, and of course I
know Drea, you know, but she wasn't around. She couldn't
come out and play, you know what I mean. And
I'm actually surprised of her voice. She never really spoke

(01:13:19):
that even with the watching the ex wife and her
releasing like even the videos, or her dancing to his
music and bob into his music and defending them, how
does that make you feel? I after seeing some of
the stuff that he's done to your niece and these
other girls. Was that reason or was those old two
years ago? Yeah, I think it's in bad taste. I
don't think she should have you know, but we also
can't say how people deal with in their lives. I

(01:13:40):
don't have kids. Coping mechanism most for her because a
lot of the women did feel like they had to
protect him for a certain period of time. So it
could be, you know, they have kids together. Who knows. Yeah,
people we are ready. Don't talk about that record chat
They go they are you just doing that? What y'all

(01:14:01):
want me to do? Come out doing a twerk song
and you will say something about that. The actually very
well to what was going on. Exactly twenty seventeen, I
started working on my new EP that's coming out this
UM year, right, and I had I have three songs

(01:14:22):
in the can and was going to release one of those.
This didn't come to me until March February March late
late February early March, dream Hamton reached out to me.
I didn't agree to do it. I said, absolutely not.
I don't want to do anything with that because I
didn't want to dredge that back up for me nor

(01:14:44):
my family. This stuff keeps coming to me. I ain't
chasing it, ain't ever chases from two thousand and one,
me me calling the authority zone, you know, for from
the phone calls, and then me and then me um
seeing the tape and telling the authorities. I've been at
from day one. I don't know why y'all mad at me,
Be mad at the person, be mad at the culprit.

(01:15:05):
Don't be mad at me? Now do you think that?
And the song Envy it speaks to the time, you
know what I mean? Come on, I'm speaking to the time,
the me two time, the times up time. So if
y'all mad at that, whatever, how did that affect your career?
Just at the time when all of this was going on,
you called the authorities, you know, and R. Kelly was

(01:15:25):
still putting out music as we saw like Ignition top
of factory, all of that coming out, you know, after
and during the trial. How did that end up affecting you?
Because he was a powerful man in the industry and
you were at one point signed to him. So what
did that do to your career? Well, I mean, as
you see, I you know, I stopped music to go
get my family back. And yeah, I'm sure he pulled

(01:15:48):
some strings to facilitate some some things of me not
doing certain things. But check this out. A woman came
and rescued me, you know, along with a few people
in my family, you know, my my, uh my partner, um,
he and his family and then the Braxons. Tony said

(01:16:09):
come out here, I'll help you eat. You know you
can eat. And I went to Vegas. I moved to
Vegas for three years and did her show on the
strip for three years. Yeah, and she gave me a
little shine in her show. So yeah, I so appreciate
them because at that point I had no family. You know,
only one brother was talking to me as six of us,

(01:16:30):
you know what I mean? So is that the one
that testified and said she wasn't on the table? No,
not the older brother. I'll call him the middle brother,
my favorite brother. What do you think should happen? And
you think he should go to jail? Look, I said
I said this in the Doctor, which which they didn't show.
I feel like he should get help. Didn't take his
ass to jail in jail, think, well, I don't know,

(01:16:53):
I don't know if he gonna he's gonna get some help,
but I don't know if it's gonna be the right help.
I think what he did to those young girls open
to him in jail, Yeah, it's crazy. Even though people say,
well it's this, No, he affected these young girls. He
affected them and their family. You see us two girls
still with him, and it could be more. You know
what I mean. You know, we gotta get them. I

(01:17:14):
know what's really awful is that people are like, well,
we all in our community have seen that happening, the
older guys coming to the school to pick up the
young girls, which is true, but it's not okay. Right,
it's true, but it's not okay. Like that's that's what
I'm saying. We've got some uncles, some some some daddies,
some granddaddies still are doing this scripe to us. So, yeah,

(01:17:36):
we need to handle this. Now. Let's talk about the
day Chappelle sketch Yea, the song that piss on You song,
because everybody's been talking about that lately, and how no
one thought about the victim who went on the tape
and how that would affect her. How did you feel?
I didn't find it funny. I love him but I
didn't find out something that is personal. Yes, do we
know who released the sex tape? Because at one time

(01:17:57):
they said it was a manager because it having problems,
and then one time they said it was an ex artist.
Do we ever know who released that sex tape? Actually,
one of the guys downstairs just said that. They said,
I'm the one released tape. That's how I ain't got
no power to release no table what I'm like, I

(01:18:20):
kicked my own ass if I did, Like, come on,
that's my knees. I really don't know, and they need
thankskick for that too. Absolutely, that's that's a young girl
on the tape. Like, come on, y'all, did you feel
when you watched the docuseries? Did you get to see
it before I came out? I saw it with all
of y'all. Did you see it before? I know you
did before? Yo, it was just heavy. Like the first day,

(01:18:46):
I was pissed. Second day, I'm crying profusely because I'm
hearing all this stuff about my knees. Third day, I
was just numb. I was just like, I'm drained from this.
This is crazy, Like who is this person? I don't
even know him? You know what? I mean if he
manipulating young girls and these older women too, and he

(01:19:07):
manipulating I'm sorry the men who are around him now
and they don't even know it. Oh my god, it
ain't they Ain't that money? Ain't that the video of
him out on his birthday and the club and say,
somebody sent take me, take me. Oh I don't hear that.
But I heard about that. I didn't. I didn't hear
it on the tape take take her break? How did

(01:19:31):
that make you feel? To see like he It almost
seems like he feels like he's untouchable. He see it.
That's how he's feeling. And it's psychologists on there to
actually break down the mind of somebody like him that
they call it hiding him. But we've allowed him to
feel that way because we ain't done nothing. Nobody believed
me back when look look we at now, Look at

(01:19:52):
we at now? And this stuff keeps coming at me.
I ain't chasing it. So what's next for Sparkle? What's
what spark doing that? What do we even talk about it?

motivated things. I just thought of working harder. I just
went number one onto the studio or two crazy and
it recorded another song just to celebrate. Yeah, yeah, I
love doing that recording. So it seemed like you love
being in the studio, but all the extra stuff that
you have to do, you're not that into, like interviews

(01:21:57):
or like even being even I ain't got lost with
the guy interviews. I hate these, but this is something
that I love to come and I love to come
every once in a while. That's why I told the
label too. I told him, man, don't make me no interviews.

(01:22:18):
I just want to let me share the music and
showed them through the for me videos. But when it
comes to this, you no breakfast club on the top,
I'm doing this. I'm not doing no more more a
little interviews, that's not I ain't doing no more basically.
Which generation is different because y'all got social media, so
like y'all talk directly, do your fans all the time? Yeah?
I don't. I don't really use social media in that

(01:22:38):
way though. I chat with my fans. I made a
little chat and it's like a group called hoodie Gang.
It's all my fans right here called hoodie Gangs. Shout.
I told them too. It's like my core fan base,
I feel like, and they talking to me and telling
me what to do basically, and I'm asking the questions
and asking me questions and I'm getting evolval for them,
and they leading me basically, like they gout of me
into my direction that I want to go to. Its

(01:23:00):
working because you got to nub one. I'm in the country.
Interviews are family. Things are going well too. Yeah, like
you ain't got nothing negative to you know, deal with
And you know me, man, I'm not gonna you ask
me some stupid I'm not gonna say nothing to you
that your full billboard, that you felt like you were
in a middle life crisis at the age of twenty two. Why,

(01:23:21):
it's a lot at once. It's a lot coming up
like from nothing, looking for come up, trying to hustle, hustle, hustle,
hustle will come up. It's a lot looking thinking like
when I was younger, always still one million two. It's
a lot of money. But then when you got to
pay taxes half of that thirty percent, and you tell
me about and you're looking back like damn, and you

(01:23:42):
got to pay manager, and you're keeping up with your lifestyle.
You bound to your bond college, about the houses, you
just carry your family f anybody around you, and it's like, damn,
you gotta keep up with this. Then you realize, oh,
another income. That's the type of time. And I'm one
right now, I'm like, nah, I can't. I can't just
do this music money, This ain't enough. There's a lifestyle
I'm trying to keep up with. So I gotta this

(01:24:03):
this this in the pocket, Like what else you already know.
I'm talking about man like records, real estate, starting north
because that's you gotta you gotta like you gotta have
one goal out of time. I feel like you can't
just be everywhere or you're gonna just focus. Yeah, you're
gonna be frustrated. Like for me, I feel like if
I if I focus on one thing at a time,
coming like all my goals out like six months bomb,

(01:24:25):
I'm gonna do this, six months bomb doing this and
don't don't try to make a short term, make a
long term. And then I'm sure everybody in the Bronx
leaning on you money like y'all, hey, book, I know
you got no I like I like to say no.
I like to say no. The best words you can
learn when you get that. You get about the hood.
A lot of people saying, how you change, you change?
You left the hood? How I change? Cause I left

(01:24:46):
the hood? Man, I don't want to live there. I'm
famous now and I don't want anybody coming up to
my house, in my building. It's just a whole back
to this hood all the time. I've seen you giving
money away and everything. I go back to the all
the time. But that's still like same thing with everything. Man,
you never know. That's why I say I don't trust
nobody because you really never know were in and out
the hood. You don't just sit on the hood at anymore. No,

(01:25:08):
I'm not stupid. I'm not gonna stand on the corner.
Your love the hood, you love going back home. And yeah,
that's when I was like just getting into that. Let
me just breaking through. That's why I said I got
a new song. I was saying something like that, like
I'm still kind of tied to the streets, but I'm
done with that. I mean, I got a family, now,
I got a had a whole career. I never knew

(01:25:30):
I would have this much money. Why would I want
to lose all this money for some stupid Now. I
remember seeing you perform at the garden Is super early
on like opening up for Drake on that huge stage.
What was that experience like? And what's the difference between
then and now? Like the product? I was like a kid.
I feel like a kid still right then. Well that's
how I felt like, look up Drake, and I still

(01:25:50):
look up. There ain't gonna lie keep it back. But
because he said it's sucking crazy. He said, Drake learned
from anybody learned from Soldier, but it's crazy. See anybody
ever know I want to know is that true? Because
I kind of feel that way, But I don't know
how it affected your generation, you know what I'm saying,

(01:26:11):
Like your generation is like now, you know one thing
I could say though about Soldier, but though and then
beginning with that, you say soldier, but he changed the Internet,
so I respect that. I remember last year he said
six nine was the king of New York and he was.
When I said that, I said that like in in
a respectful way because of his numbers. And me and

(01:26:33):
him have different lanes though, like you always got to
look at it like that too. For me, I'm not
I'm not a gimmick person. I'm more of a really
a music person. Solid. Yeah, the introvert, he's the Yeah,
outlandis extrovert. Yeah, so he either wild boy, that's like,
that's like my partner in crime right there, to be honest,
to be like, to be straight, that's my partner in crime.

(01:26:54):
Like any anything we do, it's going anything we do.
Did you think that he would end up in the
situations it? Man? I don't know, man, but that man.
Have you been keeping in contact with him? I ain't
get to yet, but me and him, Me and him
got enough so I'm coming on. All right. We appreciate

(01:27:14):
you for joining us in the country. Thank you for
stopping through. Let's go all right, it's hey boogie, it's
the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now it's
time for a positive note. Yes, my positive note comes
from my daily Stoic book. You know what I'm saying,
my man, Ryan Holiday. I read this when I was

(01:27:36):
on vacation. This was actually my daily affirmation for January fourth,
but I wrote this down because I want to carry
this with me all the time, because he said that
the most essential part of Stoic philosophy worth caring with
you every day are these three things, and he calls
them the Big three. One is control your perceptions. Number
two is direct your actions properly, and number three, be
willing to accept what's outside your control. That's all we

(01:27:58):
can do, and that's all we need to do. Perception action.
Will remember those three critical disciplines and they'll help you
in life. Breakfast Club, it is you'll finish or y'all
dumb
