I know most of you either never heard of, or don’t care about former Wendy Williams sidekick, radio jock Charlamagne, who was unceremoniously fired from his Philadelphia radio gig yesterday after being fired from WBLS last year.
But rumors are swirling that Charlamagne, who calls himself “the god,” got the axe because of the god MC, Jay Z, who might have felt some kind of way about Charlamagne’s exclusive interview last week with former Roc rapper Beanie Sigel who publicly aired his grievances with Jigga on that diss track that flooded the Internets on Friday.
In an interview with XXL magazine yesterday after tweeting his firing on Twitter.com, Charlamagne said:
“…right after the show was over, the program director came in and was like, “Yo, can we talk to you.” You know how it goes down; they tell you, “Oh, we love you, we love everything you’ve done for the company but we just moving in a different direction.” No reasoning [behind it], but it’s always like that though. I will never know the real reason, but I can speculate…
Jay Z is alleged to be a high ranking member of the Illuminati, a secret organization whose powerful members calls all the shots in the music industry. Jay swiftly went into damage mode after Beanie’s diss track dropped and Charlamagne’s interview with Beanie Sigel aired on Friday.
XXLMag.com: You think it had something to do with the Beanie Sigel interview last week?
Charlamagne: I don’t know, that’s what I’m hearing but I don’t know how true that is. I don’t see why that woulda been an issue. I would hope that the powers that be, like Jay-Z, wouldn’t be that petty. But you never know.
XXLMag.com: This whole thing is crazy. I’m sure your ratings went through the roof after that Beanie interview.
Charlamagne: Yeah, my numbers were great. I’ve never had any disciplinary action, never been suspended, never been written up, never had any verbal warnings… As controversial as they say I am, I’m like a model employee. Any program director that’s worked with me will tell you that but that’s the way it goes in radio.
That’s saying a lot when a radio station fires your ass right after your ratings goes through the roof.

Jay-z probably is behind this….he’s just like matthew knowles. When people say or do something that they don’t like these are the type of strings they pull.
Auntie why you do this early in the morning…
I also heard on twitter CGod could be pulling a “ballon boy”

That’s just saying that the stations are slaves to the artist. They did the same thing to Wendy when she was on BLS. & Shot 97 fired her because of Puffy when she was the best thing they had. These artist threaten the stations that they won’t do any shows or promotion for them. The station jumps ship and the dime a dozen host gets the boot. Its a shame but that’s how it goes.
All the good ones go. Wendy, Jonesy, Star & Buc, Ed love is watered down now. You have to be a kiss ass like Angie Martinez or Flex in order to stay on the radio. It makes me sick
I have to say even thought the situation is petty,” The god” should have know what time it was. It’s unfortunate he lost his job, but didn’t Jigga tell you he is to music what Jordan was to b-ball…Dominate!!!
Like I said yesterday, this station is always firing someone. They knew what was up with Charlamagne when they hired him. That’s alright though. He’ll land on his feet.
BTW Sandra, Charlamagne calls himself “The God” because he is a 5 percenter.

No, that would be Wendy tits playing that roll.
Wendy went through something similar when she was going to out P Diddy. Charlamagne should hire Wendy’s attorney and you will be straight. Shout to Raymond L. Hamlin, Esq. of Hunt, Hamlin & Ridley, Newark, NJ.
IF RADIO DONT WANT SHOCK MATERIAL, DONT HIRE SHOCK DJS (I miss Starr and buckwild to this day)
he not saying or acting any differently then he was yrs ago…radio makes me sick how they just up and hire/fire someone
on they other staion in philly Mss jones had a Beanie interview yesterday, is she gonna be fired again too(for 30th time) SMH
Damn son!!
& I want to see if Wendy address this on her show. I’m would be shocked if she did. & that’s what I miss about radio Wendy. Not only would she address it but she would call Jay Z ass out. F him he aint doing her show anyway. I would put him on full blast. Charlamange losing his job is money out of her family mouth since her husband is his manager.
Didn’t someone post yesterday that the format of the station changed on Friday evening & all the staff got let go? Or was that referencing another station?
If it is indeed that JayZ got Charlemagne fired, then he’s a bigger biatch than his wife & thats not good at all.
@sandra why do you find the worst pictures of everyone? Charlemagne looks sooo unsavory here.
*dead* @ Iscream
Kara see I was gonna say Wendy looks pretty in that picture. Yall are right they are forever firing someone. Might even be for PR, or maybe it is the format thing like Kara said either way I feel bad he lost his job but he’s no favorite of mine.
That’s saying a lot when a radio station fires your ass right after your ratings goes through the roof.
WOW! then is had to be gay-z funky azz! like Isc said they did the samthing 2 Wendy when she called out Puffy! Charlemagne is NOT a kiss azz but he will get another gig soon!
Lovely – I also heard the story you heard somewhere online (that he and the station was doing this for promo) but that would mean that Jay really didn’t have anything to do with it and kill all of the people who blame him for everything dreams)……o.k lurking this post. Some folks are obsessed.
yes, Jay-z is behind it all…Jay-Z is the resaon the US dollar is crumbling…Jay-z started the swine flu…Jay-Z helped build that balloon for Falcon’s parents…let’s see…what else can we pin on Jay-Z???
Woo that Wendy is hard on the eyes!
yea isc i know dmn well wendy is no holds bars esp for her show! i loves it!
@MrsHawthorne, JayZ is why Beyonce’s wigs look thirsty…
Heard the whole firing stunt=FALSE! We shall see.
*sigh* It breaks my
but is Jigga really trying to distance himself from black people? I guess I’ve had blinders on all this time. 
******************************************************
Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z mastered the art of performing live by watching Irish rocker Bono on stage.
The rapper admits he was a “horrible performer” before shooting to rap superstardom, and credits the U2 for helping him perfect his act.
The rapper has studied hours of footage of Bono in concert to pick up tips and improve his own stage shows.
He explains, “These days, I’m the s**t, but I used to be a horrible performer. I was terrible. I’m not really an animated guy so I had to figure out a way how to convey my message and talk to people in compact movements, all the while, being entertaining.
“There is a very thin line between not moving and being boring. (Bono) knows how to exaggerate his movements and he knows how to have that conversation, without moving around much. He’s a dynamic performer.”
**********************************************
BONO, JAY! N I don’t see any difference in your performance just so you know. You still walk from one side of the stage to the next. (looking good but no difference)
Camel, give Biggie back his rap style.
Attorneymom
What you know about Ray Hamlin!?!?!?!?! That’s my homie girl. I been had a crush on him since like 1st grade. That boy was fine as blackberry wine before darkskin was in.
lol, yes isc, i was reading that like…how is he animated when he performs?? he doesnt dance and sways from side to side bobbin his head. ok j…umm yea!
:lolol: @rtb
*crickets* on err thing else
iscream
Please don’t hate me but I LOVE U2 and Bono could hit this. I lost their Joshua Tree CD (again) and I will be replacing it (again).
Iscream, i’m praying for your deliverance! Can’t believe you still think this ogre looks good.
Bird, I like them too. My husband actually loves them so when he gets in an “alternative” mood and starts playing U2 or sting I have no choice but to listen. MaryJBlige even covered a U2 song.
I use to like U2 but I always loved Aerosmith and bon jovi more (don’t judge me) lol I went 2 a YT middle school!
Bird, Ray is boy. He helped me whenever I appeared in Superior Court in Union or Essex Counties when I had my own law practice in NJ. I think he helped me because I looked scared. I never forgot him for that.
Attorneymom
That’s cool he had your back. I had no idea he was a giver like that. Now he’s even more perfect. But tell me this, were you lusting on his big beautiful smile? Tell the truth. He’s still as fine as he ever was. The perfect mix of his daddy and mama.
Now you’re talking Daisy. Aerosmith is my fav rock band. U2 is o.k. I also like some Dave Matthews Band.
@Bird, yes he was and he never tried to hit on me. Although I am cute and sexy, I never had that problem with any of the men I come across.
@Bird, he is fine, but I try not to look too hard at other men. My poo poo may start tingling and I will feel like I just committed adultery. LOL

LOL Attorney Mom (37)! You are crazy!
iscream

never that. I wasn’t trying to take a stab at Bono. I like rock and o roll. I would’ve respected Jay more had he gave props to an old school rapper. Rakim had great stage pressence, big daddy kane. There are a lot of old school rappers but whatever. I hope what he learned shows one day cause I don’t see it. 
********************************
@attorneymom!!!
My poo poo may start tingling and I will feel like I just committed adultery
LORD GEEZUS!!! that’s classic!
He will bounce back but what did he expect…really!!!
Stop trying to pigeon-hole the man (Jay)..Why does he have to talk about rappers only..Is he necessarily trying to distance himself? He’s a business…man! The man has hung out with Warren Buffet! He’s smart..that’s why he’s wealthy not just rich..wealthy. Geesh. Whole ‘nother level y’all..whole ‘nother level.
Iscream, he would never have studied them because IMO he doesn’t believe they are on the same level as him. He studied someone who fill huge arenas and who(in his mind) has a big enough stage presence without dancing(like kane) in those venues. I remember reading once Beyonce said she has to work her azz off on stage and Jay just steps out and walks is cool and has the audience.
Charlamagne will be on wake up show with angela ye tomorrow so we will see what he says then. and jay def has a better commanding perfomance now than say the hard knock life days. i think he said bono because thats a person who tours like that just like kanye said he studied the big rock groups cause thats who do huge stadium tours and tour until they super old and how they keep the crowd engaged
@wiggie & east
I guess that makes sense. I was never a big Jay fan pre Beyonce but I once saw him perform at Summer Jam and I swear bitshes was in the audience crying. TEARS. I was
shocked to say the least. That was when I started to pay attention to his music more. & post Bey once he changed up his style and his lyrics I became a fan.
IMO most rappers of today put on the same show. It’s them, their boys or a hype man on stage with them. Very few change it up. I’m from an era when Rappers had background dancers and put on a show with a DJ. Whodini is one of my favorite groups of all time.
yeah most rappers dont put thought into there show say what you will about kanye but the glow in the dark concert was one of the best shows i seen ever just the thought that went into the show it just told a story in a way a never seen a hiphop concert so as crazy as kanye is at time he still one of the best at what he do
HAS A CO-WORKER OR SUPERVISOR WHO DIDN’T LIKE YOU EVER GOTTEN YOU FIRED
IF NOT YOU PERSONALLY A FRIEND, WAS FIRED DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS AND NOT PROFESSIONAL?
WELL YOU KNOW WHAT-WHEN IT HAPPENS TO EVERY DAY PEOPLE NOBODY GIVES A DAMN-IT’S UNFORTUNATE BUT IT’S NOT GOT DAMN NEWS
GTFOH-HE’S FIRED PLAIN AND SIMPLE
AT THE END OF THE DAY THE WHO, WHAT, WHY DOESN’T MATTER-MOVE ON FIND ANOTHER JOB LIFE ISN’T OVER
I COULD LOSE MY JOB TODAY OR TOMORROW-NOTHING’S PROMISED TO YOU FOLKS SO GET OVER IT
@intense
You are so right, because my friend girl has just gotten fired, and I know for a fact that the director didn’t like her. She got fired over some stupid stuff. She never been written up or anything.
@ east I wish I could’ve caught that show. I heard it was good. I heard he killed the flashing lights song. I can see Kanye putting on a great show… I told you the other day I think Kanye is a great artist. He just needs to work on his behavior.
yeah im surprised there was not a dvd of it yet
AND IF YOU BELIEVE JAY IS THAT POWERFUL TO GET SOMEONE ELSE TO FIRE YOU
WHAT ELSE COULD HE GET SOMEONE ELSE TO DO TO YOU?
JUST A THOUGHT, MAYBE IT’S NOT A WISE IDEA RUNNING AROUND MAKING ACCUSATIONS HOMEY…..
START LOOKING FOR A NEW GIG-AINT NOBODY GOING TO GET AT JAY CAUSE OF YOU
IS IT RIGHT-NO BUT SHIAT HAPPENS-EVERYDAY BLACK MEN GET PULLED OVER AND ROUGHED UP BY THE POLICE EVERDAY CAUSE THEY FIT THE DESCRIPTION YA DIG-BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT
NOT MUCH…..MOVE ON
Iscream and East, I truly regret not going to that show. Does anyone know if it on film anywhere. I know its no the same but I would love to watch. Kanye is CRAZY TALENTED. On top of that he is still stretchin, seeking, growing. I am a fan of Kanye the artist.
@cthagod I did not say Jay Z got me terminated. Who writes this stuff?
