Erykah Badu Speaks On Having Three Baby Daddies, Reveals How She Avoids Labels

by

Erykah Badu hasn’t been one to shy away from expressing her unique individuality. The “On & On” singer has fully embraced her authentic approach to music and life, even though it may differ from the status quo. Accordingly, this neo-soul icon continues to push through boundaries, evidently avoiding labels along the way. In a chat with The Breakfast Club, Badu sits down with Charlamagne tha God and DJ Envy to discuss how she steers clear of negative characterizations, specifically when it comes to having three baby daddies.

Charlamagne points out how other women have “labels put on them,” yet Badu has seemingly avoided being criticized for her nontraditional means to a family. She reflects, “I think if you’re transparent, people shouldn’t do that. I didn’t know anything… no one would expect to have three baby daddies, who plans that?” “But,” the mom-of-three explains, “when those things start to happen, you don’t stop living.” “Not everybody knows how to be mate,” Badu reflects. According to her, we aren’t taught how to be good partners. The singer adds, “we try, you know but we’re not taught that. That’s something we don’t know how to do. It’s a whole culture built around it, but we don’t even know how to do it.”

Badu Says Transparency Is Key

“Let’s be transparent, for my sisters out there,” the “Hello” singer tells the radio show. “We fall in love, you know, love is a chemical thing. We fall in love. Really I think God make us fall in love just long enough to get pregnant so that we can go ahead and procreate,” Badu explains. She reassures mothers in similar situations to hers that culture is what dictates a marriage timeline, but, “it doesn’t fit everybody. It doesn’t fit me.”

Badu, whose offsprings vary from the ages of 14 to 25, lives with her family in Dallas, TX. In accordance with the 51-year-old singer’s spiritual beliefs, she has outfitted her home to reflect meditation and sound healing. Badu has been especially open about her relationship with her 18-year-old daughter Puma, who also wants to pursue music. For the hottest news circulating in hip-hop, check out HNHH.

Jess Hilarious Claims Master P Owes Her $15K: “That Man Will Talk A Good Game”

by

Master P may have recently said he doesn’t want to hear about entertainers having grievances with him, but Jess Hilarious made a revelation on The Breakfast Club. The radio station has been filtering in guest hosts now that Angela Yee has moved on. This week, Jess joined Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy, claiming that Master P owes her a pretty penny from a previous project.

The crew opened the segment by referencing Percy Miller’s podcast interview. “His comments are inspired by his former artist Fat Trel,” said Jess. “I didn’t even know that was his artist.” Miller further joked that if he hasn’t dealt with an artist in over seven years, they shouldn’t be able to talk about him. He quipped there should be a statute of limitations placed on complaints.

“I don’t care if it was seven years or eleven years,” Jess also stated. “If you did something, and I have something to say, that’s just what it is. You know what I’m sayin’? You not the only one out here being talked about. We got Diddy. People still talkin’ ’bout him. People talkin’ ’bout Mase and what happened to him. [Jay-Z]. So many people, so you not the only person.”

“Basically, it all boils down to this. Fat Trel said that he was promised by Master P that he would be put in a Menace II Society sequel that never came to fruition,” Jess continued. She called Trel speaking on Miller “a bit of a temper tantrum,” but she added, “I do believe him because that man will talk a good game to you. Even with me, I Got the Hook Up. I’m still owed some bread for that. I’m not gon’ lie. I ain’t gon’ lie.” She joked that she still needs to be paid for one scene after staying there for 13 hours. Additionally, Jess claimed she charges $15,000 per skit.

Master P Interview Creates Waves

As previously stated, Master P recently spoke about his former artists or entertainers. “If you moved on 10 or 15 or 20 years after me, why is you talkin’ about me? How could an artist be mad at me? Let me tell y’all what my motto was: if you don’t want to be with me, I don’t want to be with you. It was almost like in a relationship. I ain’t tryin’ to hold you back. And so, a lot of these artists, go back and check. Whenever they say they didn’t want to be with No Limit or they feel that they could go and move on, I tear they contract up.”

“It should be a law. After seven years, you shouldn’t be allowed to get on no podcast and talk about nobody. Think about it! It’s a statute of limitations! If you ain’t been around that person in over seven years, you don’t deserve to talk about them.”

Naturi Naughton Addresses Kiely Williams Relationship On “The Breakfast Club”

by

Naturi Naughton recently addressed her relationship with Kiely Willams and Adrienne Bailon, who were all in the group 3LW. Recently, Williams trended on social media for a variety of headlines, including her claim of an entanglement with R&B group B2K. Moreover, Naughton spoke earnestly about her group mate Williams’ claim and about their past beef. As an incredibly popular group, they fell victim to industry pitfalls and internal conflict. Overall, Naughton seems appreciative of her time and experiences, even with all the pain and struggles she’s processed.

“Chile… bless her heart,” she responded to Charlamagne and company’s questions about Williams’ claim. Also, she denied that 3LW as a group involved themselves. “God bless her. I don’t talk to her at all, but that’s why I was saying it’s almost miraculous and amazing. Adrienne’s heart, and her spirt, and the growth. When people grow and you grow up, you start to be like, ‘Oh.’ We actually have a lot more in common and we actually struggled in the same way. We were children manipulated by adults. So the truth is, what’s the reason for hate at the end of the day? I’m happy for her and she’s happy for me.

“Somebody just posted today ‘I’m waiting for the 3LW documentary,’” she continued. “I’m like, ‘What more?’ I mean, there’s a lot to talk about, I’m actually starting to write a book about all the s**t I went through. I guess somebody will figure it out. Call me, I’m down. I’ve said all my truths. At this point, I’m excited to grow and move forward. Building new friendships, and healing some of that pain. The truth is that that was a very hurtful time. But in a way, I look back at it and I’m like, ‘That was pretty cool.’ I was going on tour with Destiny’s Child. I lived a good life.”

Meanwhile, Chris Brown recently blasted Kiely Williams for bringing up his history of abuse. In fact, she also chimed in on the Megan Thee Stallion and Drake beef, saying he should apologize to her. Regardless of her relationships with the rest of 3LW, it’s clear that a lot of grey areas are at play. Still, come back to HNHH for the latest on Naturi Naughton, Kiely Williams, and 3LW.

Drake & Kendrick Lamar Shouldn’t Be In Top 10 Rappers List, Says Charlamagne Tha God

by

Billboard and VIBE recently came out with their top 50 rappers of all time list, for which the top 10 ranking released this week. However, many people expressed issues with the placements, as expected with any subjective list. One detractor is Charlamagne Tha God, who said Kendrick Lamar and Drake don’t belong at No. 2 and 8, respectively. Moreover, the Breakfast Club co-host discussed the list with his fellow on-air colleagues, and he said it’s “too early” in their careers to tell. Of course, both rappers continue to dominate and forge their paths, but maybe their accomplishments are already enough to rival the game’s best.

“I feel like it’s too early for Drake and Kendrick to be saying stuff like that,” he remarked as DJ Envy went through the list. “Of all time? God damn! Penis is a form of transportation for y’all.” Still, both MCs clearly made some of the largest waves in hip-hop history. The 6 God, for example, recently became the first artist to amass over 75 billion streams on Spotify. Whereas the “God’s Plan” star leads the charts, K. Dot leads the culture. Following three Grammy wins last weekend, he’s now the third most decorated rapper in Grammy history. Moreover, Jay-Z and Kanye West currently share that honor at 24 phonograms each. For what it’s worth, Ye landed at No. 11 on Billboard‘s list, and Hov is Billboard‘s greatest rapper of all time.

In addition, the top ten also included Biggie, Nas, Nicki Minaj, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Tupac and Lil Wayne. Other names near the top are André 3000, Rakim, LL Cool J, J. Cole, Scarface, 50 Cent, and Ice Cube. In fact, Cube was another member of hip-hop culture that criticized the rankings. “I don’t f**k with Billboard or their editor,” he told TMZ with a smile. “Billboard ain’t hip-hop so their opinion don’t matter. Yeah, it is,” he acknowledged on the travesty of Too $hort’s snub.

“It’s an irrelevant list, you know what I mean? It’s like assholes; everybody got one and they all stink. There it is.” Who else should’ve made (or been omitted from) Billboard and VIBE‘s top 10 rappers list? However you may feel, let us know how you’d make the tough call in the comments below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest on hip-hop debates and the genre’s greatest.

Ray J Says 50 Cent “Took A Dump” In The Middle Of Pitch Meeting

by

A pitch meeting went south, says Ray J, after 50 Cent decided to use the restroom. The Breakfast Club continues to filter through its guest co-hosts, and recently, Ray J joined the famed radio show. Angela Yee’s departure has offered an empty slot, and during the singer’s appearance, he shared a tale about a FaceTime meeting with Jackie Long and 50 Cent.

“One conversation that me and Jackie had with 50, 50 was moving around. I don’t know if he didn’t like our idea or he liked it and he was just like, ‘I gotta in before I get on the plane.’ But Fif, Fif just took a sh*t in our meeting.” DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God needed clarification and asked Ray to explain.

The Love & Hip Hop star said it was a FaceTime meeting set up by Jackie Long, and “50 took a dump.” Ray questioned if Fif going to the bathroom in the middle of a meeting was his way of quietly saying he wasn’t impressed with the pitch. Charlamagne Tha God added 50 Cent wasn’t going to like Ray sharing this private information.

“To me, I felt it was gangster,” said Ray J. “It was like, you a little homie. I feel like we got little homied in the meeting because maybe the idea wasn’t good.” Charlamagne didn’t think it was that deep and simply stated that Fif just needed to go. The three men laughed at the scenario, but Charlamagne wasn’t convinced that this was a true story.

Meanwhile, 50 Cent hasn’t responded to the strange account. However, he’s known for taking aim at people, regardless of their industry status. His reputation as a troll has also served him well, and his fans are waiting to see if he goes after Ray J for this one. Check out the story above.

Tory Lanez On August Alsina Altercation: “I Don’t Have A Problem With Anybody”

by

The Breakfast Club tried to get to the bottom of Tory Lanez-August Alsina altercation that spread across the Internet earlier this month.

The Canadian rapper appeared on the radio show where DJ Envy and Angela Yee grilled him on the alleged assault against August Alsina.

“Now, recently, you got into an alleged altercation with an R&B singer, August Alsina,” Envy said, seemingly making Lanez uncomfortable.

“Look, man, like I said, I’m just here to answer about the album,” he said with an awkward chuckle. Envy pried even further by mentioning the video of Alsina completely ignoring Lanez’s attempt to shake hands.

Yee brought up the possible police investigation into the case, though Tory said he “couldn’t tell you.” “Don’t know what you know” he added.

“I’m just here for the album and positivity,” he continued. “I’m always here to answer all the questions and stuff,” he said, adding that he’s focused on preaching positivity. “Everything that’s been going on in my life and the things going on around me, I just try to keep positive. No disrespect, I’m just not here to talk about it.”

Still, Envy managed to squeeze in one final question about the video of Alsina dismissing Lanez’s handshake. Envy asked if Tory was aware if there was any friction between them prior to the incident. Interestingly enough, Tory revealed that he previously did songwriting for August Alsina in his collaboration with Meek Mill.

“Just generally speaking, regardless, I don’t have a problem with anybody. I wrote for him before this,” he said. “It’s not one of those.”
