Charlamagne Tha God Trashes Colin Kaepernick’s Letter To The Jets

by

Charlamagne Tha God didn’t hold back while discussing the letter Colin Kaepernick recently sent to the New York Jets. “I wish that letter was never written. That letter was tragically sad and downright pathetic. Colin Kaepernick has let his setback become his identity, and I hate that for him. It pains to see that man still begging to be in a league that he called racist and he compared to a plantation. And I hate that he can never speak for himself. He always got somebody else speaking for him or putting out his message for him. That’s so wack to me. I wish Colin the best in all his endeavors but just begging these same people you called racist for an opportunity is pitiful,” Charlamagne said on The Breakfast Club.

Kaepernick wrote a letter to the front office of the Jets following the season-ending injury suffered by Aaron Rodgers. The Jets ultimately chose to sign Trevor Siemian and Kaepernick’s letter was published by J. Cole on Instagram. Kaepernick has not played a snap in the NFL since he left the 49ers following the 2016 season. Despite being one of the league’s most electric QBs, Kaepernick was iced out of the league for taking a stand against systemic and institutional racism.

Charlamagne Feuds With Drake

However, Kaepernick isn’t the only one who has been the target of Charlamagne’s ire lately. Drake also found himself in the firing line as the radio host took aim at the rapper’s latest single. “Drake put out a song last Friday and nobody cared,” he says in a clip from the show. “It came out last Friday and people just started talking about the lyrics. That’s not Drake-like. He’s gonna be fine, regardless. I think we was looking for something a little more harder, a little more aggressive than this slow joint with SZA,” Charlamagne said of “Slime You Out”.

Drake hit back, finally breaking his silence after years of shots from Charlamagne. “Are you ok Leonard?? You kinda weirding me out g. Like you really obsessed with me or something for years like you look in the mirror and wish you saw my reflection type shit. Whatever you gotta do to let it out I’m sure your 435 loyal fans will stand by you ya fucking goof.” However, Charlamagne was unperturbed. He went on to claim he was “part of the album rollout” and joked that the beef was staged after “Slime You Out” hit #1.

Charlamagne Tha God Clarifies That K. Michelle Isn’t Banned From “Breakfast Club”

by

During a recent appearance on The Shade Room, singer K. Michelle claimed that she was banned from The Breakfast Club and the Sony building entirely. As a part of her statement she also included details about how Michael Jackson and DMX had also reportedly been banned from the building. That revelation left fans pouring through various appearances she had made on the show in the past looking for an explanation. Subsequently in a new episode, Charlamagne Tha God is responding.

One thing he does agree with is that Michael Jackson did have unrelated issues with Sony. But he denies pretty much everything else, both the allegations that DMX was banned during his life and that K. Michelle wasn’t allowed. Charlamagne clarifies that Michelle is “Welcomed on the breakfast club anytime.” Significantly, one thing he doesn’t mention is the reported issues between Michelle and co-host Angela Yee. Consequently their beef dates all the way back to a 2016 appearance on the show where Michelle confronted Angela. Check out Charlamagne Tha God’s response below.

Fans in the comments has strong reactions to the whole situation, many of which took issue with Angela Yee’s role in everything. “NEVER been an Angela Yee fan” reads one of the top comments. “She was banned because of Yee messy ass,” another agrees. But not all of the comments took the same tone. “I love Yee, that wasn’t Yee fault. Plus Yee is truly for her peoples,” an entirely different comment expresses.

Charlamagne Tha God is often dealing in controversy. Earlier this month fans rolled their eyes when he asked Yo Gotti exactly how far he was from the streets. The clip went viral even though there didn’t seem to be any bad blood between them in the moment. What do you think of Charlamagne Tha God’s response to K. Michelle claiming she was banned from The Breakfast Club? Let us know in the comment section below.

Charlamagne Tha God Wants To Know How Far Yo Gotti Is From The Streets

by

In a new interview on The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne and Yo Gotti are discussing inspiring those that follow them. Last month, Gotti met the 1st lady on the White House front lawn and that interaction was core to the conversation. Gotti explains how seeing artists like Jay-Z start on the streets and go on to achieve great things and become impactful people inspired him to do the same thing. He also mentions that he aims to set others up with the same inspiration after watching the things he does. But it’s at the end of this conversation that Charlamagne Tha God asks a question that has gotten fans’ attention.

“How far removed are you from the streets” Charlamagne asks Yo Gotti. Gotti himself doesn’t seem to have much of a problem with the question and answers quickly. “All the way. Nah I’m all the way removed from the street 1000%.” Despite Gotti’s lack of issue with the question, many fans did raise their eyebrows at Charlamagne for asking it. “We need Charlemagne badge number. Asap,” reads one of the top comments on a repost of the interview. Elsewhere in the comments dozens of fans point out similar issues they have with asking someone that question.

Charlamagne Asks Yo Gotti Something Questionable

Just last night Yo Gotti dropped in on a new song. He and EST Gee linked up for a new track called “A MOMENT WITH GOTTI” which is serving as the second single for EST Gee’s new album. Just last week Gotti released his new Gangsta Grillz tape I Showed U So. The album featured guest verses from Moneybagg Yo and Rich Homie Quan.

Earlier this year Yo Gotti put up millions to help 42 Dugg get freed. After his release Dugg explained the harsh conditions that he faced behind bars adding even more meaning to Gotti’s drive for his release. Gotti is often making generous moves to various other rappers. What do you think of Charlamagne asking Yo Gotti how far he is from the streets? Let us know in the comment section below.

Ab-Soul Details Suicide Attempt: “I Got A Lot Of Work To Do Still”

by

One of the most prolific voices in Hip Hop, Ab-Soul, is opening up in a new interview with Charlamagne Tha God. Today (December 16), the Top Dawg Entertainment standout delivered Herbert, his first studio album in six years. The rollout to the project’s arrival has been fierce as Ab, a quiet figure in the industry, hopped from one outlet to the next to share more of his journey.

This week, he teased his intimate interview with Charlamagne. Deservingly, Ab boasted about his skills, but it wasn’t all about his lyrical abilities. It was suggested earlier this week that he may have endured a suicide attempt, and now, Ab is sharing more about the harrowing experience.

The Carson native said he was lost during this time, but the experience did help him rid himself of unhealthy habits.

“I did not get any brain damage, I jumped off a freeway overpass, man, it was about 50 feet.” He also added, “I think a car broke my fall. No brain damage. It’s God. That was, ‘Alright bro, now sit down and shut up. Take it all in. Relax. You blessed, man.’”

“I pretty much finished the album before I did what I did,” he said elsewhere. “How I’m choosing to take it is—and I’m not giving it credit—but it brought me down to a place where I needed to be as vulnerable as possible. And as soon as I said everything I needed to say, I jumped.”

Ab-Soul also recalled waking up on the ground and thinking, “F*cking idiot.” He added, “I woke up on the floor, bro. Yanked me up, I passed back out and woke up in the hospital.”

“I literally walked from my mom’s house. It was kinda cinematic, too. [I was] on Del Amo Boulevard, my street. The subconscious me was trying to make this cinematic. ‘Oh, he died in Del Amo! He was the king of Carson, oh my god!’ It was cinematic, you know what I’m saying?”

He also shared the effects of the attempt. Ab revealed he lost his teeth and is wearing a flipper.

“I ain’t even got my implants yet. My jaw’s fucked up, I got a lot of work to do still. My foot is completely reconstructed, all the way to my pelvis. Everything but my knee. It doesn’t even make sense that my knee wasn’t affected. My femur, everything was affected except my knee.”

Additionally, if his knee would have been injured, the rapper believes he wouldn’t be able to walk.

Herbert has already received rave reviews as fans and critics dissect the rapper’s ability to turn inward and express his truth as a wordsmith. We’re glad to see Ab is on the mend and in a better place. Stream Herbert by Ab-Soul above.
