Radio host Lenard McKelvey, known professionally as Charlamagne, says he regrets getting the COVID-19 MRNA vaccine in 2020.

During Friday’s episode of “The Breakfast Club,” Charlamagne, 47, revealed he suffers from chest pains (angina) since taking the shot.

“I ain’t going to lie, every time I have chest pain now, I be like, ‘Man, I should have never got that d-n COVID shot,'” Charlamagne said.

DJ Envy said: “They kinda forced us to get the COVID shot, right? We didn’t have an option if we wanted to continue to work. And that sucks.”

Charlamagne added: “I had no cardiovascular issues until, like, I got that godd–n COVID shot.”

“And I’m not saying it was the vaccine,” Charlamagne noted. “I’m not saying that. I’m just saying when I think about, you know, things, the changes that I’ve had over the last 5 years, that was a big one, getting that vaccine.”

Charlamagne’s, chest pain might be due to angina caused by reduced oxygen to the heart muscle.

Chest pain after exertion (stable angina) is a common condition that usually goes away after rest.

But persistent chest pain without exertion (chest pain at rest) is a medical emergency.

It may mean Charlamagne has a blocked artery in his heart that requires a stent placement to open up the artery. He may also need bypass surgery to reroute the artery around the blockage.
