DJ Envy Disputes Angela Yee’s Claim Of Being The Only Woman Who Worked On ‘Breakfast Club,’ Calling It “Cap”

DJ Envy took to Instagram on Friday night to address his former co-host Angela Yee’s recent interview on the Tamron Hall Show. Yee spoke about her departure from The Breakfast Club and her experience as the only female host, expressing the challenges of working alongside male colleagues and feeling unsupported.

Yee said, “I was the only woman who worked there, too; I mean when it came to producers, camera people—and it wasn’t an easy room for me to be in,” she said around the 7:50-minute mark.”

“I feel like I did need more like backup you know because even things that I felt, as a woman … somebody can’t understand your point of view because they’re not coming from where you come from. So that was hard for me too, to be the only woman there.”

After The Shade Room shared a clip of Angela Yee’s interview on the Tamron Hall Show, DJ Envy, who co-hosted The Breakfast Club with Yee and Charlamagne tha God, refuted her claims. He stated that Yee’s comments were inaccurate and declared that there are numerous women working behind the scenes at The Breakfast Club.

During the interview, Yee mentioned that hosting a solo show had its advantages, as she only had to answer for her own statements. She explained to Tamron that she was frequently held accountable for her co-hosts’ controversial opinions and would bear the brunt of the criticism.

“Sometimes I would feel like I got it harder than [Charlamagne tha God] did for some things that he said,” Yee explained. “And so I also want to make it clear that we’re all three individuals. You say what you say, feel how you feel, and I do too. But it’s hard because people affiliate you with the whole group.”

Lil Mama also commented on the interview, asserting that Angela Yee was not as blameless as she portrayed herself to be.

“Oh PLEASE. She was up there playing foul games too,” the artist commented. “She has helped make multiple women (of color especially) feel like the only woman in that room numerous times.”

Yee has yet to respond to DJ Envy.
