Baller Alert Entertainment & Lifestyle
Baller Alert caught up with “The Breakfast Club” co-host Angela Yee at the Revolt Summit and chatted about relationship do’s and don’ts, her podcast and how she turned her love for coffee into a business called CUP, which stands for Coffee Uplifts People.
The interview kicked off with Yee giving us the scoop on her popular podcast “Lip Service,” where she talks about sex and relationships with the hottest stars in hip-hop and R&B. She talked to BA Journalist Angie B about the creative process when selecting these guests.
“We like to find people who are down to talk about whatever,” said Yee. “Some of our best people haven’t been the most known but the most fun.”
NLE Choppa, DDG, and King Von were some of the few artists who had the highest views on the show. “This is a platform that’s meant to be fun. A lot of people have said things on here that they’ve never said before, said Yee. “The show is meant to be more personality-driven.”
“The show name is actually a double entendre,” said Yee. “There’s a lot of lip service going on.”
The interview transition into Yee detailing how intentional she was about her coffee shop being built by black and brown people. “Everything from the architecture, plumbing, and electricity was done by black and brown people,” Yee said. “I’m really proud of that and happy to see that in our community.”
When it comes to dating in the entertainment industry, things can be a little challenging. Yee’s biggest relationship “don’t” is not to stress her. “Do not stress me because I work all the time and I can’t be stressed at work and at home,” she said.
The most important “Do” for her is paying attention to the little things. “The little things really count. I know it sounds cliche, but being supportive, attentive, and sweet is something that I need,” she said. “Even when I’m wrong, tell me I’m right. That’s important,” Yee said.
