Charlamagne Tha God Slams Colin Kaepernick For Jets Letter: “Pathetic”

by

Charlamagne Tha God called out Colin Kaepernick during an episode of The Breakfast Club, earlier this week. In doing so, he labeled the former NFL star’s letter to the New York Jets “downright pathetic.” Kaepernick reached out to the organization for a chance to play on their practice squad in the wake of Aaron Rodgers’ Achilles injury.

“I wish that letter was never written,” he said on the show. “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 me to see that man still begging to be in a league that he called racist and he compared to a plantation.”

Charlamagne continued: “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.” Check out Kaepernick’s letter below.

J. Cole shared Kaepernick’s letter to the public on Tuesday. “I asked Colin @kaepernick7 if I could share this letter with the world. He was reluctant,” he captioned the post of the letter. “My argument was that I believe the people and all organizations should know the truth about how hard he works and how much he still wants to play. And always has. In the end, he agreed to let me.” In the letter, Kaep brings up the injury of Aaron Rodgers and says it presents an opportunity for him to prove himself on the team’s practice squad. Despite the remarks, he still offered his support for Jets backup quarterback Zach Wilson. He says “has the tools” to succeed.

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

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.
