MISS MOUTH & CHARLAMAGNE GETS PERSONAL
Written by Jazzy F. Baby

MISS MOUTH: What’s popping babes, how are you?
CHARLAMAGNE: I'm blessed and highly favored. Allah Loves Me!!
MISS MOUTH: How is life after Philly’s 100.3 The Beat?
CHARLAMAGNE: It's the same it's always been. Charlamagne Tha God is going to always be Charlamagne Tha God. My quality of life never changes.
MISS MOUTH: I’ve been fired on several occasions and usually the other employees walk around acting all shady because everyone knew it was going down but me. Was that your experience also?
CHARLAMAGNE: Not @ all. In this situation it happened so quickly that it was a shock to everyone. Nobody saw that coming I’m sure upper management knew but not the other employees like myself.
MISS MOUTH: Do you still talk to Kendra G, Shamara and the rest of the gang?
CHARLAMAGNE: Yes Kendra G is my sister and Shamara even though she worked @ the rival station that's my peoples. She was my peoples before I worked @ 100.3 The Beat so I'm not the type to stop dealing with folks because I'm your competition or because we don't work together anymore. Those folks.
MISS MOUTH: You still reside in Philly?
CHARLAMAGNE: I actually never lived in Philly. I would drive 2 hours to work every morning. I got a spot in North Jersey, a couple of spots in South Carolina so @ the time I was living in North Jersey so I would just hit that Turnpike. Allah told me don't make that move just yet and I was actually about to move the week Allah decided it was time for me to move on from the Beat.
MISS MOUTH: Has Beans even reached out to you since the incident? And if so, what is your relationship with him now?
CHARLAMAGNE: I never knew Beans before the interview, so why would I expect him to reach out? I'm glad he reached out that Friday morning to do the interview to begin with. That interview was GREAT for my career and my brand. If you didn't know Charlamagne Tha God before that you know him now.
MISS MOUTH: I’m a fan of his, but quite personally I’m getting tired of him whining about Jay. It’s gay. How do you feel about him potentially signing to G-Unit?
CHARLAMAGNE: It only gets gay when people stop caring. I think it's @ the point were people have stopped caring. The only way it could be news now is if Jay responds which he won't or maybe he will later when it's beneficial to him and not Beanie. To answer your second question I don't think it matters who you sign to nowadays. If you’re not popping on your own doing it by yourself to begin with it's not any brand in music that can make you hot. Only Beanie can make Beanie hot.
MISS MOUTH: I just thought about something Charlamagne. Diddy hates you, Jay may have gotten your black azz fired are you at least cool with 50 Cent?
READ MORE FOR THE REST!
CHARLAMAGNE: Does it matter? Allah Loves Me. That's the problem with the game people so busy wanting relationships with these folks and they don't care about your black ass. The only relationship that matters to me is the one I have with God. I dig 50 though he don't seem like an industry sucker to me. Plus we share the same astrological sign and I'm cool with people around him. Salute to Nelson and Jeremy. They show me a lot of love on www.thisis50.com
MISS MOUTH: It seems like you got tons of press after The Beat fired you, but your departure (I’m tired of saying fired babes) from WBLS was bigger news in my opinion. What was the complete story behind that?
CHARLAMAGNE: I think because of the circumstances surrounding the Beat firing. Like people knew it was shady. My numbers were good; I was bringing the station a lot of press, so people knew it had to be something funny. Did Jay get him fired? The situation @ WBLS was just a layoff, economy was fucked up around the end of 2008. They fired the whole staff of the Wendy Williams Experience along with two other jocks Champagne and Vaughn Harper who had worked their for 20 plus years. You know the media only cares about the drama....
MISS MOUTH: Speaking of WBLS, I loves myself some Wendy Williams. How did she become your mentor and has your relationship with her always remained platonic? Of course it's always remained platonic.
CHARLAMAGNE: Her husband Kevin Hunter is my manager and one of my best friends. She became my mentor when they grabbed me up from South Carolina and made me co host of her show. She's my peoples in and out of the business. I love her to death.....
MISS MOUTH: I know that you have to be extremely proud of her being inducted into The Radio Hall of Fame. Do you plan to make a cameo on her new talk show?
CHARLAMAGNE: I've been on her show a few times. I do a man on the street segment on her show. I actually presented her with her [Radio Hall of Fame] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S39bw9La1Q)
MISS MOUTH: Do you know if the rumors of her husband being very adulterous and abusive towards her are true? And did the two of them really try to “do in” (then rival New York) radio personality Miss Jones?
CHARLAMAGNE: False, False, False, False, False.
MISS MOUTH: You’ve had some very controversial interviews on WBLS. Did you ever get to smash Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child? I heard that interview. She was practically throwing “the p*ssy” in your face. LMAO, even Wendy picked up on it.
CHARLAMAGNE: There is nothing controversial about my interviews other than the fact they are always honest and truthful. I guess being that the industry is full of lies and falsehood the truth could be considered controversial. I love Tenitra (Michelle) that's my homegirl and I have never smashed that. I actually just saw her when I was in Chicago went to meet her @ the hotel we had some wine in her room. Wait don't take that out of context it was like 4 or 5 of us in that hotel suite. She's a lovely person.....
MISS MOUTH: I typically ride hard for anything “Team Charlamagne,” except when comedian [Andrew Dice Clay ripped you a new asshole.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3vSj4lF39w) I was ROTFLMAO. I’m sorry babes I had to jump ships that day. Were you expecting that?
CHARLAMAGNE: Yes. That's Andrew Dice Clay but it was also a lot of editing done in that piece. That's why Dice Clay said Charlamagne got me with a few things but I still one. Dice is a legend, he's a beast and it wasn't about me winning it was about me getting that reaction from him. That's what made that piece entertaining....
MISS MOUTH: Lil Duvall says that you’ve been overly spiritual since your firing from The Beat, is that the case?
CHARLAMAGNE: My name is Charlamagne Tha God. I don't call myself the God because it sounds good. I used to do youth ministry for Muhammad Mosque Number 38 in Columbia SC. I was raised Jehovah's Witness; I study Islam anybody that knows and listens to me thru my 10 years in this business knows that's my whole foundation. Duvall was making a joke, which was quite hilarious.
MISS MOUTH: Are you a five percenter?
CHARLAMAGNE: I've studied the 5% teachings of Islam. God is a Greek work derived from the Aramaic words Gumar Oz Debar which means wisdom, strength, and beauty. The first letter of each word was used by Greek students in their identification of their all wise ancient Egyptian masters. So I’m just calling myself what I am. Another reason I call myself the God. Genesis 1:26 says God created man in his own image according to his likeness. So to be God's and Goddesses is what he wanted for us. It's a mind state that I strive for everyday. =Even though I fall short at times, but what would you rather me call myself a dog? I never understood why people would want to call themselves a dog. No disrespect to Snoop just never understood it dogs lick they own asses....
MISS MOUTH: Was interviewing the minister Louis Farrakhan a humbling experience for you?
CHARLAMAGNE: Without question. The Minister is the ONE divided by none. If people would actually listen to the minister’s words and the things he says we would all be better off for it.
MISS MOUTH:I know that you’re into music, tell me a little about that and your website.
CHARLAMAGNE: Well I’m in the middle of revamping my website Stupiddopemoves.com but the music is all South Carolina based. That's where I’m from and we have a music scene down here that is popping. So I’m just striving to bring that to the forefront. Salute to Dj Frosty.com, Dj Chuck T, Dj Blord, Boss G, Trapstar, A Rizzla, Lil Brod, Marly Mar, Primo Star and everybody else pushing the SC movement....
MISS MOUTH: What is your sign, I’m curious?
CHARLAMAGNE: Cancer [NOW WHY DID I KNOW THAT DUDE WAS A CANCER……SHOUT OUT TO ALL OF THE CANCERS, WE RUN THIS BYATCH!!!!]
MISS MOUTH: I’m popping loads of sh*t right now, but I’m a huge fan of yours. I love that you care more about expressing your opinions then trying to befriend these celebrities like other radio jocks. How shady is the “radio game” really?
CHARLAMAGNE: Radio is fucked up. Most of these executives only care about the bottom line which is money. They don't care about the actual people that listen to the station they care more about having a relationship with the peoples whose music they play on the station. They care about what record labels think not about what the community thinks. The radio game is really shady I will be expounding more on it in my book "Pull Your Damn Pants Up" coming out on Wendy's book imprint in 2010.
MISS MOUTH: What are your predictions for the future of commercial radio?
CHARLAMAGNE: Commercial Radio is gonna continue to be full of jocks that are really robots that have no opinions of their own. Program Directors who don't really program they just play whatever research and the higher-ups who don't live the culture tell them to play. Then when people look around and it's only 1 urban station per market they are going to say to themselves what happened?
MISS MOUTH: Honestly, your candidness makes you extremely sexy, but definitely not “smashable.” You talk too gyat d*mn much!!! That’s probably why Michelle passed it up.
CHARLAMAGNE: Have you ever heard about anybody I fucked? Exactly.......
MISS MOUTH: I know that you write for Ozone Magazine, how did that come about?
CHARLAMAGNE: JB called me one day and asked me do I want to do it. I love writing; Ozone could help me expand my brand so I said yes.
MISS MOUTH: Ozone’s founder Julia Beverly is receiving tons of heat from the article she published on Gucci Mane’s manager Johnnie Cabbell. What is your take on the whole situation?
CHARLAMAGNE: I don't care. I've done business with Johnnie before and he's always been straight up with me. I know he adds a little tax on to his bookings for himself but that's part of the game. I've never had any issues with Johnnie before every time I booked an artist thru him they were I needed them to be. So we straight....
MISS MOUTH: I love your web series “The Hood State Of The Union,” with crazy azz Lil Duvall. How did the two of you link up?
CHARLAMAGNE: Thank You. I really don't know he peeped what I was doing, I peeped what he was doing and we said let's come together and make something happen. I like Duval that's my guy. Plus we not in the same lane I’m a media person, he's a comedian so we not competing he does what he does I do what I do and it works.
MISS MOUTH: The two of you come off as “frenemies,” is there a genuine friendship there?
CHARLAMAGNE: Yes. That's my guy. We are both very honest with each other and we can take each other being honest with each other. Do we piss each other off sometimes yes, but to me that's genuine shit. I would rather have somebody around me telling me the utmost truth then somebody around me telling lies.
MISS MOUTH: Isn’t he the one that started the whole trending topic on Twitter about you getting fired?
CHARLAMAGNE: Yep. He called me and said you want to be a trending topic? I said hell yeah, see we get it. These other dudes out here don't get it. You can't hurt us because we inflict pain on ourselves because it all benefits our brands at the end of the day.
MISS MOUTH: Did he and Atlanta comedian Shawty work out their indifferences?
CHARLAMAGNE: Duval not thinking about Shawty.....
MISS MOUTH: What about you and Wale? He was talking real greasy.
CHARLAMAGNE: God bless Wale. I don't understand these artists who let another man's opinion get them upset. All I said was I think Wale dresses like a dork, and he got upset. When people say shit like that to me I don't even care. I think they need to stop caring it's just and opinion.....
MISS MOUTH: Did you know that you have a Twitter addiction? You are always online
CHARLAMAGNE: I sure do. I'm always online, I'm always in these streets, it’s all work. Plus it's all relevant to the brand of Charlamagne Tha God.
MISS MOUTH: My dawg Jazzy F. Baby calls the drama that takes place on Twitter, “birdness,” is that where you get most of your topics for Hood State Of The Union?
CHARLAMAGNE: Our topics come from life in general......
MISS MOUTH: You roasted Tila Tequila for being what I like to call a “Smash Bunnie,” and your auto bots annihilated Rocsi’s ear deformities. Have you ever been confronted in person by any of the celebrities you’ve insulted?
CHARLAMAGNE: Never been confronted by any of the celebrities and don't plan to be and if I am you will hear about it. Salute to Rosci though that was one of those times I was out of line. I tend to be and asshole @ times....
MISS MOUTH: “Hood State Of The Union” did a hilarious skit called “The Light Skinned Awards.” Did the two of you get any criticism or negative feedback from it? That tends to be a touchy topic for folks.
CHARLAMAGNE: Not really. It was mindless entertainment, something to get a laugh from the people. Nothing more nothing less....
MISS MOUTH: Define a “basic broad?”
CHARLAMAGNE: Any chick you see on love of Ray J, or Real Chance of Love is a Basic Broad.
MISS MOUTH: Are there any “basic broads” masquerading in the industry as “five stars,”? If so, care to name a few?
CHARLAMAGNE: Cassie, Foxy Brown, New York, even though she came from one of the “I Love” shows so she doesn't count. The thing about a Basic Broad though it's only so long they can pretend.
MISS MOUTH: And what f*cking rock did yall pull Serious Jones’s azz out from under? I haven’t seen dude since Smack lol?
CHARLAMAGNE: Ha, Ha, Serious is on his grind. That's my guy....
MISS MOUTH: Charlamagne, you are originally from South Carolina, but uninterested in working in radio down south. Why?
CHARLAMAGNE: I never said I was uninterested in working radio down south. It just has to be the right situation. I love being down south. I'm a country boy. South Carolina, North Carolina Atlanta. I'm all in if the right situation presents itself.
MISS MOUTH: You have a pretty boy vibe, do you get that often? It’s ironic because most of the men I meet from S.C are. With the exception of Charleston of course, those muthf*ckas are GOONS!!!!!
CHARLAMAGNE: Charleston is the home of the GOONS. That's my birthplace North Charleston is the number 8 most dangerous city in America. Check my arrest record that goon shit is in me. I'm older so I move different now. I'm getting the feeling you want to sleep with me?
MISS MOUTH: Whatever lol!!!!!
MISS MOUTH: I honestly wish you continued success with all of your endeavors. And keep pissing people off because it is truly entertaining?
CHARLAMAGNE: Thank you baby. I appreciate that.
MISS MOUTH: Charlamagne, do you prefer red wine or white?
CHARLAMAGNE: White. Moscato, but I'm a liquor drinker. Patron and Remy.
MISS MOUTH: Cool, whenever you're down in Tampa, make sure to swing through my Gossip Grill. I will get “you right” with that authentic Floridian cuisine.
CHARLAMAGNE: I'm gonna take you up on that offer baby.
MISS MOUTH: But Duvall has to stop f*cking with everyone before he can swing through
CHARLAMAGNE: I'm a make sure I tell him that! Peace and blessings to you baby.
