Angela Yee Reflects On Relationship With Charlamagne Tha God, DJ Envy

Angela Yee shared the current state of her relationship with DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God after her exit from The Breakfast Club. Speaking with Carlos King, the 49-year-old shared that she and her former co-hosts do not collectively see one another as often as before. Yee has not been on the aforementioned program since December 2022.

“It’s more like a ‘hi, bye’ thing if I see them,” explained the broadcaster. “They both have their own lives and their own families and their own things that they do and, like, many kids. I don’t even know how many kids everybody has at this point.”

She continued to detail through laughter, “They’re still right down the hall,” and added, “I wouldn’t say that I miss them. I really am happy in the space that I’m in.”

“Those early mornings are no joke,” Yee reflected. “I don’t care who you’re working with. I don’t care if it’s my best friend, it’ll make you not be friends. I’ll say that because it’s just a lot, and it’s a lot when it’s so many different people weighing in on things.”

In August 2022, the New York native announced she was exiting The Breakfast Club to launch her own platform, Way Up with Angela Yee. After Yee’s departure, the morning show added comedian Jess Hilarious, and later, Loren LoRosa.

“Sometimes, I would feel like I got it harder than he [Charlamagne tha God] did for some things that he said […] But it’s hard because people affiliate you with the whole group. And that was part of why I really wanted to have my own show, because now what happens is I’m accountable for that,” explained Yee after the decision.

“But when you have three different people with three different opinions or three different viewpoints and completely different personalities—we’re all individuals, but sometimes it’s hard for people to separate that. 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.”
