  Speaker 2: about Little Nights X everywhere at this point breaking news.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: As I was walking into the studio today to record,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: I received an email from the media department from the
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: La County DA's office who had released some information on
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Little nis X. So they released info on his charges,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: his bail amount. Because things are basically getting going and
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: from what it looks like at the time of me
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: recording this video, it is five pm Eastern Standard time
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: on August twenty fifth, twenty twenty five, Little Knights X'll
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: probably be bailed out in the next coming hours. According
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: to his family members who were outside of the courtroom
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: for his arrayment today. So Little knighte X, from what
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I'm told from the La County Dier's office, not guilty
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: during his arrayment today in a Van NY's courthouse. Van
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: nis Is. It's a part of California. It's considered the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Valley California. Now he has a preliminary hearing, so he
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: does have to once he posts ball, he'll have to
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: come back to court for all of this stuff, for
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: all of the videos, all the newness, all the things,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: and he'll be back in court on September fifteenth. His
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: bill is set at seventy five thousand dollars. And that
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: was all that they could tell me. Now, I asked
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: a few questions because in the beginning of this it
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: was told and reported and from everything that I received
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: from officials, Little Knights X was being held because of
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the charge that he was facing. He was charged with
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: suspicion of battery on a police officer or a peace officer.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: And because of this charge, it was an automatic appearance,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: so he had to appear in front of a judge.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: He was not allowed to be cited, so he spent
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the weekend in jail. Now we talked about this on
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the breakfast club as well. There're two. But again following
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the report on the breakfast club. Now Little Knights X
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: has been to court. He has pled not guilty, and
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: he has been giving a bell that his family was
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: outside of the courthouse and they were very, you know,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: adamant about the fact that Little Knights X will be
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: coming home today. His dad was actually outside of the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: courthouse and gave these comments.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Let's say, listen, God is good. I don't think I
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: said God is good. God has a plan. He talked
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: about what happened on Thursday. No, I think you all
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: know everything that you need to know about what happened.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Absolutely not. What can you tell? What can you tell
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that'll be it? Thank y'all, y'all? Support are you offering
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: him at this stot?
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: The family support?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: The family is gonna any message to the fans that
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: are concerned about him.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Right now.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: He's in good spirit, he's all right. He's very remorseful
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: for what happened, you know, but it can happen in
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: any family. You know, He's going to get the help
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that he needs. And just keep him in your prayers,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: you know, give him the same grace and mercy that
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: God give everyone.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: How is he doing mentally.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: I know a lot of.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: People he's doing great mentally. He's doing great mentally. You're
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: doing great mentally. It's awesome, awesome, awesome. You know, we
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: shed tears, we sheared laughter. But he's in great spirit.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: He's going to be great, you know. God. Like I said,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: God is good. You know all the time and all
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the time, God is good. You know, just keep him in,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: just keep him in your prayers today, sir, absolutely, absolutely.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: What do you think is the first thing that he's
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: going to do when he comes.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Out, Well, he be get God all the glory, Your God,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: all the glory. That's what he's gonna do when he
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: first get out, Your God, all the glory.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: And is there anything you can tell us about what
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: happened that night?
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Anything you can give us.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you nothing about that night.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: So I wanted to start that from the beginning. I
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: just want to I want to highlight one specific part
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: in the beginning that's playing here one more time from
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the beginning.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: God is good. I don't think I said God is good.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: God has a plan. As he talked about what happened
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: on Thursday. No, I think you all know everything that
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: you need to know about what happened. Third, absolutely not.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: All right, So one of some of the things I
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: want to point out here. So first of all, little
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: nized Ex's dad, you guys hear him talk about God
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: a lot in this interview. Little nized Excess talked a
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: lot about his dad being the influence on his music career,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: his dad being a gospel music artist himself, all the things.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: So it's very obvious that little nis X comes from
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: a praying, praying down family. Okay, they say, what he
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: gonna do. First thing when he get out, give God
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: all the glory because God is good all the time,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and all the time, God it is good. Amen. That's
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: my mom over there for y'all who don't know she's
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: in the building. Is her birthday she has been tagging along.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: So yes, that is one of the things that I
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: wanted to point out first. Right, Another big thing here,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Little knas Ex's dad makes a very big statement. They
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: asked about drugs because if you guys remember when we
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: first began to report the story, police believe that Little
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: knas X was potentially oding or suffering some sort of
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: something from drugs, but the report was a possible od
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: so he was taken to a hospital. Before he was
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: taken to any jail or any type of any other place.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: He was taken to a hospital. Now, the reason why
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I wanted to point that out is because that changes
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the whole story now, right, So if it's not a
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: possible OD, there's no drugs involved whatsoever, according to his dad,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: which his dad just said on the record. I then
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: start thinking, Okay, what is little Kna's ex's team, legal team.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Where are they about to lean when it comes to
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: what his defense is? Because I said in the beginning
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: of this little Knight's excess plant not guilty, and the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: charges that he's looking at right now, it's not that misdemeanor.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: He is now charged with three counts, a felony battery
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: with injury on a police officer and one felony account
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: of resisting an executive officer. Right, But they're pleading not
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: guilty and they're saying drugs we're not involved. So what
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming and I am predicting here is that they'll
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: probably lean into something about a mental state of some sort.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: That's one prediction. The other prediction that I think we
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: could potentially see here that I hope we do not
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: see here is that Little X will have to come
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: out and say this was all a prank and that
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: when the police recalled things went too far, and he's
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: thinking he can explain that. He will then be able
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: to show why there was no resisting two police officers
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: and maybe there was an exchange of some sort, which
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: we I mean, even with that, there was nothing recorded
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: by pedestrians, right, And I don't know if these officers
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: are required body cam or not. To me, I think
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: it's very it's a huge telltale sign. At number one,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: they're pleading not guilty everything, and number two, his data
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: is saying on record drugs we're not involved. When typically
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: in a situation like this, if it is a mental
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: breakdown of sorts, if drugs are involved, you don't come
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: out and you know, separate yourself from that because that
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: can help when you know people are thinking about what
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the consequence should be here. Now, there are reports that
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Little Nize is looking at jail time based on these charges,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: but normally when things are reported that way, it's kind
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: of extreme. It's a bit sensationalized only because I mean,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: if you're talking about facts, right, these charges do carry
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: up to something and typically it's up to jail time.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: But when you look at yeah, when you're talking about allegations,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: right mom, Yes.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Now we're talking about allegations.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, well he's been The fact is.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: That he has the answer to the calling of the
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: police out there. But that's it so far.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but here. But the thing is is that so
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: what I'm trying to get to is all of their
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: defenses that would help soften this a bit, right, because
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: in the beginning police said that it was a potential
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: od so that he might have been on some substance
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: of some sort, which is why we saw him gallivant
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and mine. You ain't see the video, they hait littl
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: naz X, which is running around La four Am and
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: panties and the pennies and tidy whities and white boots
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and then he strips neked at one point and then
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: police detain him. But what their a leegend is is
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: that when they went to detain him he shoved. At
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: first it was one officer. Now the story has changed
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: in their a legend that there were multiple officers who
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: were allegedly in a physical exchange of some sort with
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Little nized X, resulting in these new charges I'm basically
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: saying here, because you can still have a mental episode
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: of sorts without drugs being involved. So they're either going
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: to lean into that or mom to explain it to
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: you and to everyone else who may not know. A
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: lot of people believe that this is a publicity stunt
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: by Little nized X because he is a music artist
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: that is known for doing so right, so I believe
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: that it could be the mental episode conversation. And you know,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: hopefully because his dad did say this clip as well,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: he's doing good mentally, so hopefully he's doing good mentally.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Another point that his dad brings up here too is
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: that his dad says he's going to get all of
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: the help he needs. So that's what made me think,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to be the publicity stun thing.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: His dad said he's going to get all the help
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: he needs, meaning that there is something here that they're saying. Okay,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: he's not guilty of what the cops are alleging, right,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: that's what the Little nas X's legal team is saying.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, something happened here where they're
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: talking about him receiving help of some sort rehabilitation or
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: something of some sort, but they won't go into what
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: it is, so they are just clues, context clues. And
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I'm picking up from that interview with Little knas Ex's father,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: and I was reporting this on the Breakfast Club for
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: the Latest Who along the roadsa there. I was like,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: you know, this makes no sense to me because if
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: it's a misdemeanor, even if it is, you know, there
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: was like a bit of resisting or whatever with this
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: peace officer police officer, right, why is he being held
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: with no bail? In the beginning, he was being held
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: with no bail, and then we found out the reason
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: why he was held was because the type of charge,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: and because the charge was what it was, he had
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: to go see a judge, as you mentioned. But now
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: it's elevated from a misdemeanor to felony charges. So there's
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: information here in the middle that we are not privy
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: to that we I'm trying to figure it out.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Well, the doctors just probably need to figure it out.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: He needs to be tested and seeing what kind of drugs,
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: and as we know, everyday people, not only superstars, but
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: everyday people have to be careful about people sneaking drugs,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: pills just fills.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Well, we don't know that anybody's snuck him anything.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: No, I'm saying, but.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: If it's behavior, oh you mean, well his dad just
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: said drugs weren't involved. That's what I'm saying. So that
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: changes the conversation now, because police were saying they thought
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: drugs were involved, and they thought he was potentially even with.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: The legend it, I think that the doctor that they
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: should get some tests done so that they can know
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: exactly because the guy may not even know what's going on.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: It's something that he purposely did have maybe.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Taken, gotcha, Yeah, yeah, I mean, but it's that the
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: same drugs were involved, so that would mean that there
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: would be nothing in his system.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but if the police find his accidents extraordinary, that
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: which should be a cause for the doctors.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: To still look to see yeah, at least a little Yeah.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, we don't. I can't. We're in
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: a time of lazy workers and I know, no, no, no,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: it's not. It's that's serious, especially when it comes to
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: else in welfare, and if there's any potential of something
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: being him being drugged. I mean, gods get drugged as
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: well as girls. You know, take out the test do
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: some and figure it out.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we'll have to just wait and see because
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: as of right now, we don't know anything. All we
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: know is what we just heard from his dad. All
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: we know is what just happened during his arraignment hearing.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I told you guys there will be another hearing on
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: September fifteenth, so we'll be on the lookout. I do
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: not believe that even if little Nasac doesn't whole sit
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: down tell all all the things, y'all still ain't gonna
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: believe him. Now. If he comes out and says, hey,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: this was a pr stun and be like, okay, whatever
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: we knew it, y'all would move on. If he comes
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: out and says anything beyond that, y'all still are not
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: gonna believe this little boy at all, because I think
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: people have their minds made up because of antiics we've
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: seen from him in the past. And I will say,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: because I told you guys via my ex account, make
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: sure you guys are following me there, Lauren la Rosa.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: I break stories across social media, bring it here to
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the podcast, take it to the breakfast Club as well.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: But if you are following me on social you get
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: everything fast and first, right, I told you guys on
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: social that there would be no much shot the first visual,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: And you guys will notice this that everyone is grabbing
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: and hanging on to, is that there's a there's a
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: zoom visual or video visual of him in court on
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the arrangement. And the reason why people are gravitating toward
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: that is because people just wanted to see it. People
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: don't believe that this is real. They think that this
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: is a full stunt of publicity from new music. Now
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: if I'm little nas X, because y'all not gonna believe
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: me anyway, it doesn't matter what the real issue is here.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I'm grabbing that screenshot and I'm putting it on merch
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Mantaro free Montario, onto Mytario free merch period. All right. Now,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: we're gonna move on in the latest because I got
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: a chance to do Brilliant Idiots. Schultz was not there
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: when I When everybody I tell that I got that
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I was on Brilliant Idiots. Literally everybody tell they be like,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: oh my god, how did it go? Was like, I
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: think people were expecting me to have been there with
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Charlemagne and Schultz, and Schultz just be his funny Steff
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: and me not being able to handle the jokes. But
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: first of all, I can handle a little Joki joke, Okay.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I think the dynamic on Brilliant Adia is a lot
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: more fun than Breakfast Club clause it's less people, so
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: you really get to like get in and you have
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: more time to Like when I'm doing the latest with
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Laura Rosa on here the podcast on the Breakfast Club,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: my time is so limited and I have four people
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: so in that lane. And I also learned a lot
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: too about playing your role from platform to platform. So
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: in the role on the Breakfast Club, I'm a lot
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: of times I'm moderator. Like there are certain times where
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I'm you know, reporting or giving a take, but a
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: lot of times I'm moderating, like I'm throwing the oop
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: and Jess, Charlotte and Envy are coming in with their takes,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: their opinions, and a lot of times my oops are
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: just you know, here's the fact, like my ALIU might
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: be the fact. It might be you know, the opening
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: line to get them into the segment. It might be
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: the throw to the audio. Brilliant Idiots was so different
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: because that was my first time in a setting. I
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: mean we did the This was like one of my
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: first This was the early episode and the latest with
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: long the roads of the podcast, so make sure you
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: guys go back and check this out. But I did
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: do a sit down interview when we launched the podcast
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: to celebrate the launch of the podcast with Charlomagne at
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: the iHeart offices here in New York. But this was
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: my first time being in a long form space with
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Charlemagne and it was so fun. I knew it would
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: be fun though, because I watched Brilliant Idiots, so I
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: know that they liked the joke. They have a good time.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I love the way the show is set up where
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: like they cover topics, they cover everything on there from
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: like politics to you. We was going to talk about
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: meatball from Philly, just everything, so it would be a
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: good time. But I didn't think. I don't think I
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: knew how well the banter would go because again it
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: was my first time doing it. But we had a
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: good time. Take a listen to this.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: This looked to my guy Lad TV man. I know
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: if last since two thousand and three, Glad, you used
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: to put me on his mixtapes because you know, the
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: internet that just started back then, so we used to
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: I used to put.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: It said, just started insane. I did not know I
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: know somebody who was there when they start. I'm gonna
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: tell my niece that she gonna think. I'm all. So
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: we had fun because I think even in moments like that,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: the best thing about the Brilliant Idiots experience was I
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: feel like their audience got to learn person like my
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: personality because again, I'm not having to throw any oops.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: I'm literally just there. I did realize in the beginning
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: of it when we were talking about Liana's X, I'm like, yo,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: I went straight into no, because here's the detail and
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: they said this and this is what police said or whatever,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: and then I was like, la, you just naturally do that,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: like sit back and relax, have a good time, and
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: then you know, get into the gist of the things.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: So we were able to do that. So that was fun.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: And I always loved picking on Charlemage and all his
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: many different face colors. But we did get into we
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: got into a couple of conversations. So one of the
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: conversations we got into was start from Kelly Rowland, and
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: y'all were really really mad at me because I said
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: this the.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: First time I had a little both friend, his grandmother
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: compared me to the color of a paper bag and
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: said that I was too chocolate.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I literally was like.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: What does that mean?
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: And I came home and I talked to my mama
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Tea about it, and she said, it's a definition of colorism, and.
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: I was like, I'm not exact opposite. Sometimes, man, I'm
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: laying there and I look at my wife and all
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: that melon, and I'm like, why would you ever bring
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: a beige pitbull into this house?
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Why you gotta do all this that. I think it's
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: fired at me and Jess are on Breakfast Club because
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: me too. I told her this one time. I'm like, Yo,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: when have you ever seen two brown skin like real
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: black girls in mainstream media? Breakfast Club is mainstream media.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: I said that all it feels so good to have
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: all this motherfucking melon and in this room.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: And then you call it NB a waffle color negro.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: Well, listen, I believe in colorism, but I believe in
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: it the other way because of the fact that dark
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: skinned people have been getting shipped for so long. So yes,
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: we need to give it back to some of the
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: waffle colored people. And you know what, just like white people,
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: as soon as you start the experience what you've given
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: people for so long, now you want to stop now.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: When the rabbit got the gun, it's like whoa.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa my chin.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: When Nino Brown stabbed that pretty motherfucker from the bank,
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: Christopher Williams in the hand on New Jack City, he
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: stabbed him in the hand. He choked him, and he said,
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: I never liked you anyway. You're pretty motherfucker.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Y'all was so mad. So first of all, my mom
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: is super super light skinned. She is freckle faced beauty,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: about five.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: Five representation of the international world wide race.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Well, the reason why I said that is because people
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: got upset at me because I said, I think it's
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: fired at me and Jess two Brown's too dark skin,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: or I said, said brown skin a dark skin. But
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: y'all know what I meant. Women mainstream are on mainstream media,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: and real black girls like it's fire because we're real
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: black girls. Child. All the light skinned girls came out swinging.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, Hold on, baby,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I wasn't even that wasn't a shot at y'all, And
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: which is so weird because it's like, the minute a
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: dark skinned woman refers to herself as a real black girl,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: light skinned women or lighter skinned women instantly take that
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: as a ditch. And I'm like, we got so much
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: like we're so at like odds, and there's so much
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: you know, turmoil in the midst of the two that
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: so many people miss what I said. It went over
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: their heads.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, again, it went over their.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Heads because my mom is a light skinned woman, and Mom,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: did dad offend you what I said?
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: No, because I already know.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: I'm just simply simply trying to make the point I
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: was trying to get to when I said real black girls.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: That wasn't saying that because because we are dark skin
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: we are only the only people consider real black girls.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: What I was talking about is normally in mainstream media
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: right when it comes to fashion runways, commercials, you know, brands,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: even across social media now, radio, television, when you think
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: about what black women in those spaces, and I mean
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: dominating in those spaces, so like top shows, you know,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: making the real bucks on commercial and stuff like that,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: you're not seeing girls that everything's very androgynous. It's like, Okay,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: she's a black girl, but like in order for you
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: to be a dark skin or brown skin black woman,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: you know, and a lot of these like what people
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: would consider these high end, high paid whatever, you know,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: places as visual representation of black right. So when you
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: look at some of the couture ads, runways and all
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: the things, these women are typically not girls from around
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: the way. We have Sherry Shepherd on televis, we got
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Timron Hall, we have Jennifer Hudson on TV. But for
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: a while, the only person relatively close to me on
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: television black woman in that space was Wendy Williams. But
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: for the most part, and for a long time, in
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: mainstream media, you did not get that. You were told
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: to turn it down even hair what you're talking about
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: getting on a platform with hair color, No, not at all.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: That wasn't especially if you were a black girl. It
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: just wasn't something that you were seeing.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: Their lost Because now when you see all of these
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: different hairstyles, it's like, wow.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: It is but people still go it's still like a thing. Right,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Like there was a time where all of the journalists
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: girls who were wearing braids while they were reporting on
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: local news, were going viral. And the reason why that
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: is like cause for us, it's like, okay, homegirl got braids.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: It's probably hot outside, right, or she about to go
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: on vacation, or she just want to protect her hair
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: because she working hard every single day. But it was
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: going viral because we as black women, were so excited
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: to see it because in those spaces, you're not seeing
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: that your hair should be. There's an elitism thing when
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: it comes to hair, when it comes to look, when
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: it comes to skin color, like just all these things. Right.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: My whole point in all of this was to say
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: that the comment that I made was more about a
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: classism thing and you know, getting away from the whole
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: elitism and honestly erasing those barriers like whether you consider
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: yourself race, yeah, whether you consider yourself one of those
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: people who isn't around the way girl or not. Black
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: women are black women, And for me, I love the
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: fact that because also too, we have a lot of
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: conversations about this. I say words, I say them, I'm
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: learning on air in real time a lot of time.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: I remember during the Diddy trial, I did an interview
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: with the Shade Room and I said something about did
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: their big one. Everybody in the comms was like, Lauren
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: should not be talking like that, she is a journalist.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, but that's how I talk, Like what
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: do you want me to do? That is how I talk?
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree certain things for certain places, but I
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: mean there's some things that you just when you get
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: when you when you bring me into it, you're going
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: to get certain things and I can't get away from that.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: And what I love about the breakfast club. What I
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: love about the breakfast club is at the breakfast Club,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: they don't run from that, nor do they make us
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: run from it. I've worked in places where, you know,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: the biggest thing in my mind was don't become that
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: token black girl. So I didn't want to say certain stuff.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: I didn't want to talk about certain things. I didn't
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: want to do certain things because then I would become
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: the black girl who's the punchline, or the black girl
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: who has to explained everything I'm saying, or you know,
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: all the things right even getting your hair done, going
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: into certain places, you think about, Okay, what questions am
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: I going to get? What am I going to have
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: to deal with today? Because I don't went and got
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: my hair done last night. I don't have to do
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: that at the breakfast Club. I mean, breakfast Club is black,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: but also it's mainstream. All types of people watch the
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Breakfast Club and learn from the Breakfast Club and tune
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: in and all. It's just a it's refreshing to see
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: and you don't see it. You just don't see it.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: So when I made the comment, I was being very
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: genuine about how I felt and I stanned on that.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: But some of y'all got so offended, and I'm like,
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: but why though, Like, let's have a real conversation about
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: what I'm actually talking about here. That's it, all right, y'all.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: So this has been another episode of the Latest with
• 24:29

• 24:54
  Speaker 4: live a life without some great impregation and low writing?
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: You're the greatest and them expectations like people of color,
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: you're the gravest. The people of different hair, you're the greatest,
