THE BREAKFAST CLUB

Chlöe Exposes ‘The Breakfast Club’s DJ Envy For Not Knowing Her Songs

by

Chlöe is officially over internet trolls ruining her fun. As Charlamagne Tha God put it when she visited Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club show this morning, “digital dickheads” have been getting her down — but lately, she’s been fighting back. “Come at me bro,” she said.

Toward the end of the interview, though, after DJ Envy tried to shade Charlamagne for not downloading Chlöe’s debut album In Pieces, she had to drag him, too. “Did you download the album?” she questioned him. “I streamed it,” he said.

The interrogation didn’t stop there, though. “Okay, so what was your favorite song?” Chlöe wondered. This stopped Envy in his tracks. And while he tried to plead out by saying that he’s played “Have Mercy” in the club, she pointed out that “Have Mercy” wasn’t included on the album proper, and again questioned what song from the album he played. “Caught!” she snarked.

Obviously, this was more of a comedic moment between the host and guest, but Chlöe has been making it a point lately to call out the trolls who have so much to say about her, but aren’t real fans. Her In Pieces tour backdrop puts some of the more common criticisms on display, allowing her the platform to strike back, and her interviews have found her confronting those people head on.

NLE Choppa Suggests Ice Spice Changed Her Number After Texting Him

by

Nearly a month ago now, Memphis’ NLE Choppa joined Jason Lee on his REVOLT podcast to discuss not only his musical work but also his feelings for a certain female rap star. At the time, the “DO IT AGAIN” hitmaker admitted to having a crush on Ice Spice, who he chiefly called “beautiful” while revealing that they were exchanging messages. Rather than sliding in her DMs, Choppa was able to connect with the Bronx baddie via text, apparently to talk about “just music,” though things didn’t go as far as he was hoping, as Spice apparently changed her number without telling the 20-year-old.

“I don’t text her no more,” the recording artist told Lee during their March interview. “She changed her number. So, I watch from a distance. I see she’s doing a lot of big things.” More recently, Choppa dropped by The Breakfast Club to promote his new Cottonwood 2 album, at which time hosts DJ Envy and Charlamagne couldn’t help but ask their guest about Spice. “People change their number!” the southern star defended himself. “Was I part of the reason? I don’t know… Probably, you never know.”

Tha God then asked Choppa if he was “tryna holler” at the “Bikini Botton” hitmaker while she was only interested in talking business. “No! I was business-oriented, and when I hollered she ain’t have no [noise] about it,” the lyricist insisted. “You did holler though?” Charlamagne confirmed, not letting the young rhymer escape the question. “Yeah, you know what I mean? Slicky, like… I slid in! I asked her, do she like vegan food? That’s probably why she changed her number,” NLE speculated, laughing along with TBC hosts.

“She said, ‘This n*gga talkin’ ’bout vegan food. Let me get his ass off my line. I’m from the Bronx! We don’t eat no f*cking vegan food,’” the father of one added, imagining how Spice reacted to his message before swapping out her digits. While NLE Choppa is obviously still hung up on not getting a text back, the 23-year-old rap diva has been busy soaking up the success of her “Princess Diana (Remix)” with Nicki Minaj.

“The Breakfast Club” Heads To BET Following iHeartMedia Partnership

by

The Breakfast Club has undergone some major changes over the past few months. Angela Yee’s out and Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy have had a rotating roster of guest hosts, including Luenell, Ray J, and plenty of others. Though many felt as though the Breakfast Club would go under after Yee left, they continue to level up. The next move includes a transition to nationally syndicated TV via BET following a partnership with iHeart.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Breakfast Club will be joining the BET roster as one of the first bids to regain its prominence in daily programming. Beginning April 17th, 2023, BET will air an hour-long broadcast of the Power 105.1 series daily at 9 a.m.. This will mark BET’s first daily program since 106 & Park came to a close in 2014. President of entertainment enterprises at iHeartMedia John Sykes explained that the partnership with BET “will expand the radio show’s reach to millions more watching on this iconic television network.”

The Breakfast Club On BET

The Breakfast Club is no stranger to broadcast television, though their deal with Revolt TV ended in 2021. Now, the show will be syndicated to 90+ markets daily. “BET has been the home of so many cultural institutions, like Rap City and 106 & Park, that have shaped a generation,” said Charlamagne Tha God. “Those shows laid the foundation for The Breakfast Club to stand on and grow into the cultural institution that we have become. We look forward to carrying on the tradition.” DJ Envy added, “I’m looking forward to the opportunity to showcase The Breakfast Club on BET. I love what the new BET is doing!”

However, the announcement of the shift comes as the Paramount Global-owned network aims to sell BET. Over the past few weeks, we’ve heard folks like Byron Allen and Tyler Perry express interest, as well as Diddy, who already owns Revolt. We’ll keep you posted on anymore information regarding the sale of BET. However, we’re excited for the new chapter of The Breakfast Club on BET. Do you think this is a good move? Let us know in the comment sections below.

DJ Envy Lost $250K In Jewelry, Including Bust-Down Rolex, While Travelling: Video

by

DJ Envy’s celebrity status wasn’t enough to keep him from enduring a major L at the airport this past weekend. On Tuesday (March 28), the media personality told those tuning into The Breakfast Club that he, unfortunately, lost a quarter of a million dollars worth of jewelry after crossing paths with an uptight TSA agent. After his co-host, Charlamagne Tha God lightly trolled him and pressed for the details, he sadly recounted his tragic loss.

“I was travelling from Atlanta back to New York on Friday I had my roller, my backpack and I have my blazer, you know, because I was just shooting,” Envy began. He then noted that he wasn’t able to put his blazer in his luggage as he didn’t want it to crease. “Usually, I’m a Delta Million Miler, I’m Diamond, they don’t give me a problem. They just hang my jacket up for me,” the author explained, though “[the] white woman” who he interacted with that day “was not trying to hear it.”

DJ Envy Recounts His Unfortunate Loss

Envy told Charlamagne, “She was nasty. I don’t know if she had a bad day, but she told me I couldn’t do it. So I said, okay, I had to check my bag. When I went to check my bag, I remember my jewelry was in there. I was like, you know, let me take it out and put it in my backpack. When I went on a plane, I left the jewelry.” The 45-year-old noted that he’s attempted to contact Delta in hopes of tracking down the valuable pieces. Among them were a bust-down Rolex, a ring, and chains engraved with his wife and children’s names.

While DJ Envy hasn’t heard back from the airline quite yet, he did inform listeners that he at least has insurance on his missing jewelry. During TBC broadcast, one caller didn’t hold back when telling the host about their disgust over the situation. “Okay, so you’re gonna pick this platform and use it to hope that she’s listening because you want her to bring it back to you, but Envy, nobody leaves Cartier at the airport. You want to know why? Because nobody who works a nine-to-five goes to the airport wearing a Cartier. Nobody does that. Why would you do that?” they asked. In response, Envy declared, “If I did it on purpose I would feel a lot easier but I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s sentimental!” Check it out in the video above, and tap back in later for more pop culture news updates.

[WATCH] DJ Envy Starts Debate For Saying 50 Cent Would Beat Lil Wayne In Verzuz Battle

by
Screen Shot 2023 03 24 at 12.58.21 PM

On the most recent episode of Apple Music’s Rap Life Review featuring Lowkey, Nadaska, and Eddie Francis, two of the three said that Lil Wayne would have to sequence his songs in the right order in a Verzuz battle in order to beat 50 Cent.

Lowkey said, “Wayne don’t have a Get Rich Or Die Tryin.’” I ain’t sayin’ 50 gonna wash Wayne but if Wayne’s not sequenced right, and it’s not positioned correctly, that could be a very long f***ing night.” 

Envy and Charlamagne added on to the convo on The Breakfast Club with Charlamagne agreeing with Lowkey, saying, “Yes, Lil Wayne doesn’t have a Get Rich but Lil Wayne has massive, massive amounts of hits… One album cannot win you a Verzuz.” Envy cut him off by adding, “He is right… Get Rich or Die Tryin’ is a classic album but you can’t sit there and act like Lil Wayne doesn’t have classic bodies of work.” 

Charlamagne said Fif “would need something more than just Get Rich Or Die Tryin’  to go against one of the top five, potentially top 3, greatest rappers alive.” DJ Envy ended the debate by saying that “50 Cent would win that battle.”

Jason Lee Recounts Meeting Beyoncé at Roc Nation Brunch: Watch

by

While he doesn’t sing, dance, or act himself, Jason Lee has interviewed no shortage of talented celebrities over the years. He recently began his own REVOLT podcast. So far, he’s spoken with guests like Blueface and Chrisean Rock as well as Blac Chyna. He obviously stays booked and busy with his own commitments, but that doesn’t mean the Hollywood Unlocked CEO doesn’t have time to make guest appearances on other shows.

Most recently, the 43-year-old stopped by The Breakfast Club to chat with DJ Envy and Charlamagne. During their discussion, Lee brought up the time he met Beyoncé at Roc Nation Brunch – a moment that was previously caught on camera and has resulted in long-standing rumours that the mother of three was attempting to avoid the gossip blogger at her husband’s annual event. “I’m a huge Beyoncé fan,” he told the hosts. “I’m a fanatic.”

Did Beyoncé Avoid Meeting Jason Lee?

As the story goes, Lee was with his friend Umar, who owns fast-fashion brand Pretty Little Thing, at the party, though he wanted to leave around 4 PM. “I was walking out with him, and when I got to the exit to get in the car, I saw Julius, Beyoncé’s security,” he recalled. Thanks to basic deduction, the media personality realized that the RENAISSANCE hitmaker had to be in the area, and he decided to head back inside in hopes of catching her. Apparently, Lee saw Bey looking his way, whispering the name of his media brand to her team.

“I knew she knew who I was, so I ran around like a kid to the other side to try to catch her and get a photo with her,” Lee went on to explain. At the time, he asked his pal, Indian Teddy Bear, to film the interaction, which explains the awkward footage that subsequently went viral. However, according to the CEO, the clip actually went through edits by another artist’s fanbase to make it appear as though Beyoncé was avoiding him. While he insists that wasn’t the case, others online aren’t so confident. “Nahhh she was dodging son, this harassment 😂😂😂😂😂,” one person wrote in @2cool2bl0g’s comment section.

John Legend’s Team Initially Didn’t Want Him To Sign To Kanye’s G.O.O.D. Music

by

Conversations about record deals are always controversial conversations within Hip Hop, and John Legend is giving some insight into his relationship with G.O.O.D. Music. The Chicago crooner’s career developed thanks to his connection to Kanye West’s label, as the two Windy City artists collaborated extensively. They partnered on several albums and delivered classic hits, but a fallout over Ye’s antics caused a divide. Legend took issue with West advocating for Donald Trump, and later, the Rap icon’s inclusion in the 2020 Presidential Election also gave Legend pause.

However, the R&B hitmaker doesn’t regret a moment with G.O.O.D. Music. West’s label has endured a bit of unraveling in recent years due to his ongoing controversies. Legend recently chatted with The Breakfast Club and spoke about his decision to sign with West’s label amid pushback from his team. “All of these decisions, though, there were people in my camp that didn’t want me to sign with Kanye when I signed with him,” Legend revealed. “‘Cause I signed with G.O.O.D. Music, and I signed through G.O.O.D. Music to Columbia Records. So, all of my first few albums were through G.O.O.D. Music to Columbia Records.”

John Legend Recalls Uncertainty With G.O.O.D. Music

“And you give up certain things when you sign to an artist’s production company, he continued. “But, I felt like it was the right move for me because creatively, we were in a great place together and his star was ascending as a producer and as an artist. I felt like being a part of that team was gonna propel my career to a place that it needed to be. And it did! And, it was really important for me to be with G.O.O.D. Music for my first few albums. My career wouldn’t be where it is without that. And then, when it’s time to move on, it’s time to move on. But we had a really successful run together.”

Legend noted that “hindsight is 20/20” because it all worked out well for everyone involved. However, at the time, Legend was unsure about his future. He did his best to “plan ahead” but admitted that after inking the G.O.O.D. Music deal, he was like any other budding artist, hoping for the best. Their career paths have taken them to extraordinary heights, but these days, the personal relationship between West and Legend is strained.

Changes In Kanye West

In a November 2022 interview with the On With Kara Swisher, LEgend spoke about changes he’d seen in his former friend. “I do find him different than he was back then.” He added, “I didn’t see hints of this kind of harmful behavior back then. We have not been friends for a while now, and so, I’m not personally doing anything. But I do know people who are, and a lot of people are concerned about him.”
