The “Breakfast Club’s” DJ Envy says that it will be like losing a sister when co-host Angela Yee moves on to her own show.
“I’m an only child so it was like having a sibling. I have someone who can make fun of me, that knows your secrets but they also know your insecurities and knows everything about you,” he said of Yee, who has hosted the phenomenally successful radio show with him and Charlamagne Tha God for 12 years, since the 105.1 show as launched in 2010.
“You can generally play with it and be stupid with and I don’t have to worry about anything else. So Angela was that to me.”
Yee said last month that she would be leaving the show to start her own nationally syndicated show, “Way Up With Angela Yee” on 105.1.
Envy told us there have not been formal discussions yet about who will replace her, but he said the new co-host will have to be “somebody who gets along with” the remaining host, but they also “have to be able to challenge me if you feel a way; you have to be able to chat with Charlamagne if you feel a way. We all argue but at the end of the day when the show is over at 10 o’clock we [have] each other backs and we keep it moving.”
Yee made a dramatic announcement about the news, first tweeting, ““The Breakfast Club as you know it is officially over,” and then waiting several hours before revealing that the big change was that she was moving on.
