In response to Angela Yee's comments about being the only woman working on The Breakfast Club, former cohost DJ Envy said that she "misspoke." However, his denial of the claim that Yee was the only woman on the show doesn't necessarily come from a place of bad blood. Moreover, he said that when it comes to close friends, honesty is an important two-way street to maintain. Furthermore, he addressed this situation in a recent interview with the Michigan Chronicle. The interviewer asked Envy for his reaction to Angela's comments after calling her sole woman claim cap on Instagram.

"I mean, she was," Envy replied to the prompt that Yee was seemingly the only woman on the show. "I mean, it was her, Charlamagne and myself, so she was the only woman on air. But behind the scenes, it was so many different- I mean, our boss, the actual person that pays our bills and pays our checks and hires us is Thea Mitchem who's a woman. I think she misspoke, I think the words were taken out of I guess technicality. I'm sure she would clean it up, but there's a lot of women who work on that show."

He went on to list various female producers who worked with the crew. "There was a lot of women on that, there was a lot of diverse people on that. But I'm glad that she has her own show. She's doing well, I'm excited for her. We come on early, she comes on right after us. I mean, it's just like anything else. It's no problem, it's no beef or nothing like that. I guess her comments and the things that she said were taken out of character and taken out of what they really meant.

"Nah, I ain't gotta clear up s**t," he continued, responding to whether he'd clear up his relationship with Angela after his Instagram comments. "I mean, it's what it is, it's the truth, it's honesty. You can be honest with all your friends, you know what I mean? It doesn't mean I don't like somebody or they don't like me. You say something foul at me, I can say something foul to you back, it is what it is. Or you say something right to me, I'mma say something right to you back. Look at it like this. It's bigger than The Breakfast Club, it's bigger than Way Up with Yee, it's bigger than all that. You're talking Power 105.1, which is our home station. Sometimes, we argue with each other or we say things we don't like, and we say it and we keep it moving."
