[WATCH] Charlamagne Tha God Defends Anchor Fired For Reciting Snoop Dogg Lyric

by
Screen Shot 2023 03 28 at 1.19.02 PM

Charlamagne Tha God has come to the defense of a news presenter who hasn’t been seen on air after quoting a Snoop Dogg lyric during a live broadcast.

The presenter, Barbie Bassett of Mississippi-based NBC affiliate WLBT, has been at the TV station for decades, but was taken off the air almost immediately after using the phrase ‘fo’ shizzle my nizzle’ while they were having a discussion about the D-O-G-G.

The word ‘nizzle’ of that particular phrase set people off charging it was a racial slang but it’s unclear whether Bassett knew that.

While it hasn’t been confirmed if Bassett has been fired from her job, she hasn’t been on air or spoken out since the incident which has lead many to speculate the worst.

On his show ‘The Breakfast Club’, Charlamagne expressed his shock that something so seemingly insignificant – saying that phrase, obviously not racism or the N-word – would have led to her getting fired.

“She can’t say, ‘Fo shizzle, my nizzle?’ Oh, I guess cause nizzle is a derivative of n*****-.

“I’m saying that in context. I didn’t mean to say… I’m not using that word.”

Charlamagne seemed to argue that Bassett should have been given the benefit of the doubt, anyway.

He continued: “That’s the thing with hip hop, man. Hip-hop is so big and so mainstream, and it’s just like, who can consume it and who can’t?”

He asked, “That’s why?” to which his co-presenter DJ Envy said: “I don’t know if that’s fireable. You know what I mean? Who can repeat slang and who can’t? Who can repeat slang and who can’t? How old is that woman, yo?

“She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word,” he added.

Bassett had been working for the station for 20+ years.

“She might not have any idea, she just thinks she sounded cool repeating Snoop Dogg.

“‘Fo’ shizzle my nizzle.’ That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”

DJ Envy also made comment on the fact that Bassett had been at the station for more than 20 years, but now has no job.

In the aftermath of Bassett’s absence, the station’s vice president and general manager Ted Fortenberry released a statement in which he said: “As I am sure you can understand, WLBT is unable to comment on personnel matters.”

NFL Player Sebastian Joseph-Day Claims He Was Assaulted By TSA Agents

Sebastian Joseph-Day, a defensive tackle for the Los Angeles Chargers, accused three TSA agents of sexually assaulting him before a flight at the John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, Calif.

The footballer shared that the incident, which took place Friday morning, was a “dehumanizing” experience.

Joseph-Day took to Twitter to explain what transpired during the incident with the agents.

“Then they told me I was the problem after [three] TSA agents swarmed me,” he added.

“I’m all for people doing their job well. But it was extremely unnecessary and dehumanizing. I travel a lot, for personal and work reasons. I’ve never experienced anything like that.”

“And when I do try to file a complaint they are making me jump through hoops to do so.”

The airport’s Twitter account swiftly responded to Joseph-Day’s accusations:

Joseph-Day also added in his Twitter thread that the TSA agents threatened to call the authorities if he did not complete the search, one that made him uncomfortable.

“It’s one thing if they apologized after my concerns, but the supervisor threatened to call the sheriff on me if I didn’t finish the search after I expressed I was just violated & told me to watch my mouth. I don’t think it’s just a TSA issue.

“I’m not sharing this on Twitter for sympathy. I’m sharing this so this group of gentle[men] and staff aren’t allowed to do this ever again to another human being.”

TSA released a statement stating that it is aware of the allegations and is investigating them.

“TSA is aware of allegations made by a traveler who was screened by TSA officers at John Wayne Airport Friday morning. We are looking into the matter to determine if our procedures were followed and whether any corrective action needs to be taken,” a TSA statement said.

“TSA remains committed to treating every traveler with dignity and respect while carrying out our security screening responsibilities.”

The 28-year-old won a 2022 Super Bowl ring with the Los Angeles Rams.
