Ferg recently released his new album DAROLD, and it surprised fans that solely expected his trademark aggressive trap and grandiose New York hip-hop. However, the project also held his most introspective and revealing moments to date, such as how the track “Pool” reveals that he was molested as a child at a swimming pool by an older man. “At ten I was drowned and touched when I was in the pool / All the breath left my body where I couldn’t move,” the Harlemn rapper shares on the cut. “Violated, hand on my private by a bigger dude / Seconds felt like forever, really wasn’t cool / When he seen me ’round the block, he’d smile and laugh / As if we had a little secret, and I hated that / Thinking ’bout what he did really made me mad / Even thought about murder, wanted to kill his a**.”
Later on in the verse, Ferg raps about how he told his cousin about this harrowing incident, but how he just made a joke about it one time. The “Demons” MC also opens up about how people called him and his friends “gay” because they were into design, and how both these factors contributed to a toxic sense of masculinity that he’s now trying to shed.
In addition, Ferg spoke about his experience during a recent interview on The Breakfast Club. “It was an incident that happened in a pool when I was a young kid and everybody’s around and everything like that,” he remarked to the radio hosts. “For me, it was weird and it was one second, but I was like, why?” The 36-year-old said that someone “way older than [him]” “touched” or “groped” him when he was around nine or ten years old, and that he originally spoke to his cousin because bottling it up made him feel “weird.”

Also, Ferg revealed that he told his mother about it years later after going to the Precious film’s premiere in 2009. Childhood abuse victims shared their experiences at the end of the screening. On The Breakfast Club, he also shared that “Pool” took him eight years to write, and stressed the importance of sharing one’s story. “Everywhere, I feel like this s**t is going on and people are not just going to talk about it,” the multi-hyphenate stated. “I’m like, ‘What am I talking about?’ I didn’t make that happen to me. That s**t ain’t mine to be trying to hold inside.”
About a month ago, legendary Atlanta rapper and trap pioneer, T.I. announced his retirement from music. He did so on the We In Miami podcast and it shook the music world. He revealed why he felt it was the right time to move on. Mostly, it was to explore other avenues. In addition, T.I. also said that he would be closing out his career with a double album with a unique feature from NBA Youngboy. However, maybe the most interesting subheader is that his collab record with Boosie Badazz may never come out.
“The time that we had allotted for it we kinda passed by it.” However, he did not totally shut the door. He said, “Not saying that the window can’t present itself again. We have a very healthy relationship.” That is good to hear especially after some of their recent disagreements and harsh words for each other. We were not too sure what T.I. meant by that he and Boosie passed by it, but now we do.
Boosie Badazz Takes Blame For His Collab With T.I. Not Dropping
According to HipHopDX, Boosie went on The Breakfast Club recently and they asked him about the duo tape. The Louisiana rapper had a similar answer to his friend, but he took the fall for it not coming to fruition. “I called him about a month ago and asked him what’s up with it. I think it’s just, like, on the back-burner right now, but it’s damn near done, bro.” He heartbreakingly goes on, “I think I’m more excited on driving it than Tip. Y’know, Tip locked in with these movies, but man, me and Tip made a hell of a[n] album. I just f****d it up.”

More headlines continue to come out about the lengthy drama involving R&B phenom, Usher, Keke Palmer, and her now ex-boyfriend, Darius Jackson. As most people know, it all started back in early July at one of Usher’s shows with Keke in attendance. The actress joined him onstage and was serenaded as she wrapped her arms around him. It was a viral moment that led to tons of debates on who was to blame for this happening. Some people were on team Darius Jackson, saying Keke was in the wrong for putting herself out there when she had a man at home.
Conversely, others were siding with Keke saying she can do what she wants and Darius is insecure. Then, you had people, like Charlamagne tha God, saying that Usher was the villain behind all of this. It got really messy, and perhaps even more so when the singer had Keke be a part of a music video. Even after speaking about a few times, it was brought up again to Usher during an interview with The Breakfast Club.
The Dallas-born artist addressed the situation and Charlamagne’s comments as well. Usher wanted to make it clear that he wanted nothing else, but to be left out of it going forward. He told the panel, “I’m not Mr. Steal Your Girl, that’s Trey Songz. I’m the guy who tells you not to leave your girl around me.” Loren LoRosa even asked him if there was any guilt about all the issues that came with it. Usher appeared to be a little annoyed about the question. He shut that down, saying, “What would the guilt be, that I had a great show?” Furthermore, he talked about the music video and why he decided to work with Keke. He says it was to bring good attention and intention and it was just to have fun.
What are your initial thoughts on Usher’s comments about the Keke Palmer drama? Do you think he was right in working with her for the music video and singing to her? Did The Breakfast Club try to make him look bad in the interview? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Boosie Badazz recently recalled one particularly unpleasant experience with McDonald’s during a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club. When asked about the bad trip, he explained that he was upset about being given just one sauce packet.
“You know what them fucking people be doing. They did it to you too. Fucking sauces bitches they give you one jelly,” he began. “I’m not doing it, bro. That pissed me off that day because I’ve been going to McDonald’s forever, bro. I get in my feelings with certain shit and it happened in the airport before that.”

Boosie continued: “I’m like, ‘Can I get a couple more jellies?’ She said, ‘You got one biscuit.’ I like my shit sloppy you know I like my shit hanging off when you squeeze that bitch. I feel like they’re not being paid extra to not give you jelly. If you was getting paid an extra fucking fee by me — man, throw two more fucking in the jelly thing this big. You can’t throw three [or] four more jellies? You love your job too fucking much you gon’ be working there a long time, bitch!”

Boosie initially shared his disappointing experience with the fast food chain on social media immediately after the fact. In a video posted last month, he explained that he was trying to get breakfast while on IG Live. “Fucking two-pack? I should go back. Stupid ass. Told her four jellies. She gave me two. I hate when they act like that with fucking jelly,” he said at the time. “That is not your fucking jelly. Fucking jelly. They got so much of that shit in there. Acting like that with the jelly. You ain’t gon’ get no raise for not giving a n***a no jelly.” Despite voicing his frustration, he didn’t go back to complain. Check out the clip of Boosie’s latest comments on the matter above.
For the past decade, The Breakfast Club has been the voice of the culture. Radio has not been the same since the show started. DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne tha God have been some of the most powerful voices in media. The nationally syndicated show has placed the three personalities in the Radio Hall of Fame. The morning show started in 2011 and reached new heights that year after the infamous Ray J phone call. This was the first of many memorable moments on The Breakfast Club. Some of the best moments in Hip Hop have occurred on the platform. Remember when Charlamagne made Lil Mama cry? Or how about when Fredro Starr and Charlamagne got into it?
Legendary producers, rappers, singers, and songwriters have been interviewed on the morning show. Also, not just in music but various celebrities have sat between the three hosts. Athletes, actors, comedians, and politicians are just some of the different people who have appeared. The hosts even got to interview the 44th President, Barack Obama! Throughout the years, The Breakfast Club has become the go-to place for information. Undoubtedly, the trio is a part of Hip Hop history. Let’s look at some of The Breakfast Club’s best interviews.
7. Mo’Nique (2017)
Let’s just say Mo’Nique had time that day for Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club radio show. It was mainly Lenard, aka Charlamagne Tha God, that she had smoke for. After asking people to boycott Netflix, Charlamagne gave the Oscar-winning actress ‘Donkey of the Day.’ She came to the show that morning to specifically figure out why she was placed in that category.
The host believed she did not deserve the same amount for a Netflix special as Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, and Amy Schumer. Though, Mo’Nique believed Netflix was practicing gender and racial discrimination against her. Mo’Nique also had her husband/manager, Sidney Hicks, on the phone line to chime in. They both handled this interview professionally and respectfully. They also came with receipts.
This is a story of inequality, according to The Parkers actress. But, Charlamagne and DJ Envy felt she hadn’t done anything lately compared to her counterparts. After a lengthy discussion, the interview ends with Mo’Nique telling the nation that Charlamagne Tha God devalues Black women.
6. Ray J (2011)
In 2011, Ray J called up The Breakfast Club radio show to get some things off his chest. He wanted to change the narrative that he was punched in the face. Instead, he claims he was the one who punched Fabolous. On the phone, filled with rage, Ray J says he was still waiting for Fab with The Money Team and 100 people outside the nightclub.
Ray J didn’t take too kindly to the rapper’s tweets regarding him playing piano and singing for Floyd Mayweather. The “One Wish” singer claims he saved Fab’s life once in Los Angeles and let him use his Lamborghini for a music video. Ray J goes on an epic rant boasting about what he has while calling the New York emcee broke. To this day, Charlamagne remains that this moment is why The Breakfast Club is still going.
5. Kanye (2013)
Charlamagne starts the interview by introducing Kanye as “Kanye Kardashian.” The College Dropout rapper has repeatedly been on “Donkey of the Day.” In this interview, he compares himself to Walt Disney and Steve Jobs. Charlamagne lets Kanye know that he thought Yeezus was “wack.” Kanye did not let that get to him as he directed his attention to what DJ Envy was saying.
The G.O.O.D. Music founder lets it be known that he knows the listeners want to hear him and Charlamagne go at it. Two parts of this interview are used as a drop before the host presents his daily segment, “Donkey of the Day.” West had issues when trying to do business with Nike and Louis Vuitton during this time. He believes he is this generation’s Michaelangelo and Steve Jobs.
Money is a big topic in this conversation, as Kanye believes money equates to freedom while Charlamagne doesn’t. Kanye believes corporations are promoting modern-day slavery and racism. He clarifies his comments about Barack Obama, the Confederate flag, and the reasons for his past antics. Kanye has been to The Breakfast Club several times, but this is his best interview.
4. Nipsey Hussle (2018)
Nipsey Hussle stopped by The Breakfast Club radio show early in his career. Back then, he was gaining attention from the mixtapes he released. Years later, Hussle returned to the infamous morning show to discuss his debut studio album, Victory Lap. He details his independent journey from the beginning as he first had a deal with Epic Records.
As he says in his music, Nipsey has always been interested in ownership. He tells the hosts it took years for him to get the deal with Atlantic Records. His very strategic manner comes from studying the careers of Jay-Z, Master P, and Juelz Santana. You can tell the Crenshaw rapper knows the ins and outs of this industry as he describes the current business model and ideology of music labels.
It’s no secret that Nipsey also understands the process of creating music. He describes Diddy’s impact on records such as “Mo Money, Mo Problems” and how he influenced his song “Rap N****.” Not only did Diddy help, but Jay-Z also did him a favor. He cleared the Annie sample for “Hussle & Motivate,” another gesture from the billionaire. In 2013, Hov purchased 1,000 copies of Crenshaw, sold for $100. As the hour-long interview goes on, Nipsey clarifies comments of what he said about Cardi B, checking in, his Eritean heritage, and why he stopped smoking weed.
3. Lil Mama (2012)
To Charlamagne’s surprise, Lil Mama actually showed up to The Breakfast Club radio show. The “ruler of rubbing people the wrong way” wasted no time with the New York artist. Charlamagne admitted that he calls her “the voice of the young struggle face.” When Lil Mama first started in Hip Hop, many thought she was older than 16. The “Lip Gloss” rapper states that she is from New York, and that environment forced her to grow up early. Charlamagne continued to have jokes for the guest by letting her know she has the same genes as NBA players LeBron James and Greg Oden. He adds that she might have Benjamins Button disease, a movie in which the main character got younger at a rapid rate. Lil Mama tries to respond to the host by calling him old and ugly.
Lil Mama came to The Breakfast Club radio show to clear up her comments regarding Nicki Minaj taking her style. Charlamagne disagrees and tells her she hasn’t done anything since “Lip Gloss.” The host said she was “delusional” for going on stage while Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performed. He added that she is only known for playing herself and getting on stage while Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performed.
When Angela Yee suggests that Lil Mama isn’t focused on music as much, Lil Mama cries as she explains her absence. She talks about making her album while her mother was dying of cancer. Charlamagne tells her he wants her to make the music. The interview ends with Lil Mama promising her music will speak for itself.
2. Onyx (2014)
The 90’s Hip Hop group, Onyx, stopped by The Breakfast Club radio show in 2014. Half of Onyx, Fredro Starr, didn’t appreciate Charlamagne bringing up an old situation. The interview started with all laughs and respect, but five minutes in took a turn. When Angela Yee asks about their time in the ’90s, Charlamagne instantly says, “Fredro was getting head from Brandy.” Let’s say, that changed the whole mood of Fredro Starr. Charlamagne was only repeating what the rapper had said in the past. As the interview proceeds, minutes later, Fredro stops to ask Charlamagne what happened to the guy that punched him in the eye.
Fredro believes the host should have stayed and fought the men instead of running. Charlamagne disagreed and, in return, asked Fredro about his fight with 50 Cent. Things got heated now, with Fredro raising his voice. They both trade shots about both of their instances. Fredro felt like Charlamagne shouldn’t bring old things up. But, the host believed there shouldn’t have been issues since he made the comment. Ultimately, the temperature cooled in the room as the host and rapper shook hands. Thankfully, they didn’t need five minutes.
1. Soulja Boy (2018)
Soulja Boy has been around for a while, but it took him years to get on The Breakfast Club. He made sure his first appearance was memorable. He clarifies cocaine stories and explains dating Kat Stacks. Soulja believes he had the biggest comeback of 2018, with which Charlamagne disagrees.
The “Crank Dat” rapper dives into his career to explain that he has always been looked at as an underdog. But, his public feuds with other artists, such as Chris Brown, Migos, and Shia Lebouf, have outshined his success. Charlamagne feels it’s his fault as he was doing “clown s***.” He also adds that Tyga deserves the biggest comeback of 2018. This started one of Soulja’s rants as he started to drop names.
Soulja claims he started going viral and is why artists like Chief Keef and Lil Pump were signed. He says Rich the Kid used to sleep on his couch, and he signed Famous Dex first. Soulja says he was the first rapper on YouTube and credits himself for starting streaming services. When Soulja Boy came out with “Crank Dat,” many believed he ruined Hip Hop. According to him, almost every song has a dance with it, which you can thank the SODMG boss for.
Soulja Boy wants a percentage that he feels all these artists and record labels owe him. Charlamagne brings the conversation back to the topic at hand and says Tyga had the biggest comeback of 2018. Big Draco unleashed on Tyga before saying he loved him and wanted to do a song with him. He also explains the Chris Brown beef and his old issues with the Migos. Shortly after, he claims he was the first rapper to fly the Atlanta group to Los Angeles.
Charlamagne realizes that Soulja Boy might be the “Godfather of Rap.” The interview takes a break from his music endeavors as he talks about his new console. Of course, he talks about the infamous shootout he was in years ago. The tempo of the interview rises when he tells what his issues were with Kanye West. He expresses his disdain towards the Yeezus rapper and his ties to then-President Donald Trump.
Arguably, the best part of the interview comes towards the end when the topic of the year’s biggest comeback comes up again. DJ Envy feels Meek Mill had the biggest comeback because he had a beef with one of the biggest artists in the world in Drake. Soulja immediately gets from his seat and then says the rapper’s name in a high-pitched, confused voice. He goes on to say that he taught everything Drake knows. He even says Drake took one of his lines from “Kiss Me Thru The Phone.”
Soulja Boy has always been entertaining. His interview turned into popular memes all over social media. The way he says Drake was so popular that DJ Envy says his name in that manner when the Toronto rapper is brought up. Let us know you’re favorite Breakfast Club interviews in the comments!
The debates between Master P and his artistic collaborators continue, as Jess Hilarious recently responded to his claims. Moreover, Hilarious said that she was “not playing” about payments P owes her, in response to his dismissal of her complaints. Furthermore, she said that the complaint was never about a second check not arriving, but rather missing upfront payments. For those unaware, this debacle began when Fat Trel said Master P had unfulfilled promises when it came to movie deals, music releases, and general support as a business partner. Still, Hilarious built off of his testimony to go at the No Limit boss for his dubious dealings.
“Ayo, nah, I ain’t read this part,” Jess remarked about P’s comments on the situation. “He’s like ‘She’s just joking, she be playing, y’all know her. She was joking about a second check that was never in her contract. That’s the narrative they ran with for clickbait and fake headlines. Thank God for receipts!’ You think out of everybody out there right now, I’mma come after you for clickbait and fake headlines? I don’t have to do that, sir! Now, he playing around with me, because I never said it was a second check. It was money paid upfront and then it was supposed to have been another $15,000. Yeah, I didn’t get the other half of my money. Stop playing with me like this was check 1, check 2. No.”
For his part, the New Orleans mogul took to Instagram and made various comments about these accusations. “I love @jesshilarious_official and I know she was just cracking jokes because she signed her contract and got paid what she was owed for I Got The Hook Up 2 but if she tryna squeeze me for another 10k she got that.” Also, in reference to the Fat Trel situation, he made a difference between artistry and business, shading those he deems ungrateful. “That’s one of the reasons why I got out of the music industry and into the product game. Product don’t talk back.”
Meanwhile, these comments aren’t necessarily anything new for P. In fact, he addressed multiple artist disagreements in the past. What’s more is that he took it a step further by saying that nobody should speak on him if they haven’t connected in over seven years. Regardless of what you think on that, come back to HNHH for the latest on Jess Hilarious and Master P.
