The exact details of the new show are still under wraps, but Angela did offer some additional details during the Aug. 10 episode of The Breakfast Club. “This is really exciting,” she said on the show. “This is something that I’ve been waiting to do for years now, way before the pandemic. I had actually sat down with our big boss … and I was telling her, like, ‘Look, I really wanna have my own show.’"

"You know, I have my podcast Lip Service and I was thinking I would be able to get something like a weekend situation," she continued.

“They approached me at iHeart … and told me that they are gonna give me my very own show,” she concluded.

She'll be leaving The Breakfast Club, although she confirmed on Twitter that she'll still be with the show for at least another month. DJ Envy and Charlamagne tha God are planning to continue on with The Breakfast Club in Angela's absence.

"Congratulations @angelayee !!! Black Girl magic. Ima miss the balance she brings to the show," another wrote.

"I am soooo happy for @angelayee getting her own nationally syndicated show. This is HUGE," a third person added.

While there may be some online who are resentful of Angela for leaving the show, it's hard to deny that this is a highly exciting career opportunity for her.

Angela has always been skilled at ignoring those who aren't interested in supporting her and focusing instead on those who want to give her love and encouragement. This is a big step for Angela, but as one of the co-hosts of The Breakfast Club, it's one she's really been training for for years.
