VladTV recently interviewed Charlamagne Tha God, and The Breakfast Club host opened up about the time Diddy gave him an earful for his on-air comments. The comments made by Charlamagne surrounded the promotion of Diddy’s 2010 album with Dirty Money, Last Train to Paris. “I’ll never forget Diddy yelling and screaming at me,” he shared, “This is before I recognized, truly, the power that the platform was commanding.”
Charlamagne continued, “This is when he dropped the Last Train to Paris album and I gave him ‘Donkey of the Day’ for that album. I’m like, ‘Yo, this shit is shake weight music.’ Once again, being an asshole because people loved that album! But I’m just f*cking with him.” The host revealed, “He came to the station hot. Like, ‘Go out the back door, Charlamagne’ type shit.” He went on to say, “I remember when I finally had a conversation with Diddy about it … Shawn Prez put us on the phone. And Diddy was like, ‘Bro, you can’t do that on my first week.’”

Charlamagne went on to claim Diddy said, “‘I’m a big boy, I can take criticism of the music, but not on my first week when I’m tryna get these first week numbers up. You come out and you shit on my project like this, people might not go check for the project.’ And that was one of the first times I was like, ‘Oh shit, he’s right, you know?’”
In the interview, Charlamagne also discussed the recent departure of his fellow Breakfast Club host, Angela Yee. “She left Breakfast Club because she got the opportunity to do her own nationally syndicated show,” he revealed. “Way Up With Angela Yee is a nationally syndicated show it comes on 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. right after The Breakfast Club, and I think that would be hard for anybody to pass up … Angela Yee never got the opportunity to host her own show on terrestrial radio,” the host explained.
