charlamagne copy

Right after we heard the news about Charlamagne being canned, we hit him up for the scoop and to find out why he feels he was fired:

BOSSIP: Man, that Camel pulled a fast one on you, didn’t he? What got you fired…the “J” word, Beans, or Hova straight up making a call?

Charlamagne: Bra, it’s not that blatant… is it?

BOSSIP: (SMH) Why do you feel you were let go, man?!?! Do you really think that “he” would have enough of an influence to get you canned like that?

Charlamagne: I don’t know duke! But I do know that this is way too soon and close to the incident for me to really make a real statement, but not notice and comment on the obvious.

BOSSIP: People are saying that the problem with your interview was you mentioning the “J” word. What do you think about that?

Charlamagne: I have not talked to my lawyers yet, so I don’t want to say too much. You better watch it! You know I will be alright. The radio station is trying to say it’s a publicity stunt, but I wouldn’t go back there, BOSSIP! I loved Philly though.

BOSSIP: Damn. So, you think that your interview with Beanie Sigel was the exact reason that the show was canceled, or not?

Charlamagne: I will say that this; they never really gave me a suffice excuse and told me they were “going in a different direction.” We just got the highest ratings ever, the day of that Beans call. I will let you figure it out…

Those are the breaks and nature of this business. Charlamagne will land on his feet… he always does. Lil Duval  and Charlamagne have had their Youtube series going for a while with “reported” TV plans in the future. Good luck dude…

  • STOP THE LIES AND BS

    Charlnagne knows exacty why he got fired….he actin like he doesnt becuase he wants to fan the rumors that Jay got him fired…Jay doesnt really care enought to get him fired in this instance ….His station was nice enough to say “we’re goin in a different direction” leaving him the ability to get another job if they said we fired him because of negative statements about jews which is what he got fired for he would have been blackballed in the industry.. the interview was all over the internet and was getting a lot of attention and Jewish people were offended simple as that… advertisers were threatening to pull thier accounts simple as that

  • http://bossip Whoa! aka Toot-it-up!

    No such thing as freedom of speech here

  • http://bossip Whoa! aka Toot-it-up!

    @STOP THE LIES AND BS

    OMG!!! Really? That’s a NO-NO!! Them mo-fo’s control EVERYTHING!! What did he say?????

  • PURPLE, just call me TADOW

    I liked Charlamagne somewhat, he said what was on his muthafreakin mind. I didn’t like the way Siegel was still biting Jay Z’s balls in that interview somewhat. Jay is a bytch so we all understand.

    WHY JAY THAT AIN’T RIGHT!

    OH WELL!

    @STOP THE LIES AND BS

    Can you tell us (me) what he said about the Jews??? Pretty pleaaaaaaase??? ;-)

  • Please Stop

    The entire interview cause the problem. He was talking about everything that would offend Jayz as well as advertisers. This station has been know to fire radio show host who don’t keept their mouth shut about certain artist.

  • http://bossip Whoa! aka Toot-it-up!

    IJM WHADDDUP!!!! How are you today?

  • bk

    He got Charlemagne fired but lil ma continues to run up on him on stage what is wrong with that picture? They always claiming he is too big and doesnt care about this and that but some how the ones that get the info seem to get themselves lost. Hope Beans greezy *ss got a stack to hold him down.

  • BOSSIP CHIEF

    @Woa! aka Toot-it-up

    I see you are just another black female who identifies herself by her backside.

  • Miss who?

    100.3 The beat is Radio ONE… so you are stupid LOL^^ get your facts straight. dummy

  • Miss who?

    You on the wrong beat.
    We need to protest. We want Charlamagne back.

  • STOP THE LIES AND BS

    He’s never said anything extremely blatant but says and allows negative or anti-semetic comments to be made on several occasions without pushing back on the interviewee or correcting himself…. so he should have been fired…This time it was more about what he allowed to be said without correcting and he was encouraging and agreeing…It’s a NO-NO to make or allow negative comments about any racial/ethinic/religious group if he was a local white guy doing the same towards black people we would be up and arms …. what ever the case he needs to be honest and admit that He made a huge mistake and it has nothing to do with Jay… or just be quiet and find another job….I think I would just be quiet and try not ‘F’ up again his next stop will probably be a smaller market like DC/BMORE/Detroit/cleavland/ Maybe Wendy will hire him again when her TV show gets canceled

  • PURPLE, just call me TADOW

  • !!!!!R.I.P MIKE!!!!!

    I HAD A FEELIN IT WAS CUZ OF THE BEANS/JAY THING.

  • Miss who?

    go to youtube there is a three part interview.
    Listen to his old shows. He brought entertainment but there was a lot of knowledge with his show.

    just my opinion and a lot of other people’s opinion. Radio One succumbed to the bs. Why is it that Entertainers can bully corporations. Where they do that? Oh I forgot money does a lot. A lot of these artists need to be put in their place. You make records for US to buy and play and like. YOU don’t run this but money talks I guess

  • http://bossip Whoa! aka Toot-it-up!

    @STOP THE LIES AND BS – oh ok, thx 4 clearing that up ;-)

    @PURPLE, – gotta hold it down for when yall ain’t around, lol!!!!

    @IJM – chile I’m just chilling and hoping today’s elections are beneficial to me (job wise) but at the same time, trying to get mentally prepared for the worst. these politicians I tell you.

    DAMN….Charlamagne always getting fired. lol. But he’ll be alright, he always lands on his feet. He’s way to talented not to.

    South Carolina’s Finest!

  • http://Bossip dacorea

    He probley did get fired talking about the JEWS. He don’t make enough money to talk about them, you better ask Taylor Swift. She’s making money. So when she took a picture with the Nazi dude. The networks who make money off her made statements like “oh she didn’t know dude had that on his shirt, it was a party etc”look at all the interviews they are helping her cover that shish up they need her to keep getting money.

    This WAS A PUBILICITY STUNT HE WAS NOT FIRED!!!!

  • AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWSHADDAAAP!!!!!

    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!

  • SMH

    If its true that JayZ would have him fired because of a phone interview with BSiegel, than its sad. Does he think he can control whats said about him?

  • LogicallySpeaking

    Charlemagne the God met Jay the Hova!! To think both of these clowns would go as far as to call themselves names suggesting they are all knowing and all powerful. Clearly they can not fill those shoes. Charlemagne can’t even keep a job. What A God!!!! LMAO

  • LogicallySpeaking

    Aren’t you supposed to serve God, well the God got served…lol

  • Please

    Well if someone made a call to get Charmlamagne fired then. It just proves everything the streets have been saying. There is one thing Beans said in this interview that really made me understand what he’s upset about.

    Beans was right when he compared 50′s involment with his artists. Compared to Jay. Anyone can see this. Then once feelings are hurt, how are you going to keep a guy down by not letting him go? Especially if you no longer want anything to do with him or her project. Why do these “stars” do this to the people they sign….then they act all surprised when the person they are holding down…starts to get at them.

    All about respect if you ask me.

  • brooklyn kid

    Whatever the reason, who is JZ? What’s with all this strong arm crap with JZ? He’s starting not only to look like a camel but a tad punkish as well, didn’t he get Beans thrown out of a concert. JZ think he’s untouchable or something…sit down and have some children with that publicity seeking chick you got. Sick of all a dem. Who he think he is Michael Jackson? RIP Mike – Love you always.

  • PlannB

    I heard that 103 is changing formats and that everybody on that station has been canned. It’s so like him to milk it for all it’s worth. I can’t stand him or Wendy (Can’t Get a Relevant Celeb) Williams, they reap what they sow.

  • TRUTH HURTS

    @Greg what is the diffrence? is jonsey syndicated on power 99? i know she was on that same station when she was syndicated out of nyc..

  • Jade Silver

    @ Glok… Hi there, long time.

  • Greg

    @truth hurts

    someone was saying they changed formats who fired everyone which isnt the case, they arent even a clear channel radio station..its owned by Radio1 they have two stations here….Jonesy is live just like he was

  • jones

    well damn!

  • http://bossip shelia

    ONE RAPPER DOWN. MANY MORE TO GO. I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL THEY ARE ALL OUT OF BUSINESS.

  • Che

    Like everywhere else…all the underlings want to bring down the King. Jay has daggers coming from all angles…and he is laughing at every one of them. You won’t kill the king kiddies. Bow down and be done with it.

    Don’t even believe this BS. He should have been fired just for his name. Charlamagne…whatever

  • Jezzy

    “Beans was right when he compared 50’s involment with his artists. Compared to Jay.”

    Name one G-Unit artist that made it anywhere near how 50 has. 50 didn’t take care of his artist either. In fact, where is G-Unit at all?

    Exactly. 50 is the last one to talk and should keep to his own business…like how bad his album is about to tank.

  • TRUTH HURTS

    @GREG THANKS

  • http://Bossip VELENA

    AROUND HERE THE WHOLE 100.3 WENT OFF THE AIR A FEW DAYS AGO. THEY FIRED THE WHOLE TEAM SO MABEY THEY ARE BROKE I’M JUST SAYING.

  • black girl ..”doing it” lol.

    Charlamagne is ugly!~ From all the pretty really pretty girls in L.A. we laughing now cause your ugly and this is what you get fo talking RECKLESS to CASSY! Ha ha…

  • %#&?!! will soon stop coming to bossip

    as much as i dont like the camel, making comments or allowing comments to b made about jews was totally wreckless. i thought charlemagne learned to keep his 5% beliefs out of the workplace by now. i guess he dont realize that doing that will always hold him back as well as us…
    when will our ppl learn. never bite the hand that feeds u.

    kumbaya ma lord, kumbaya
    kumbaya ma lord, kumbaya…

  • black girl ..”doing it” lol.

    Charlamagne is ugly!~ From all the pretty really pretty girls in L.A. we laughing now cause you’re ugly Charlamagne and this is what you get fo talking RECKLESS to CASSY! Ha ha… Don’t mess with JAY Z BEY or the JEWS! Ha ha…a matter of fact anyone who looks pretty or looks like they might have more money than you!

  • Yup

    I don’t think it has anything to do with Jay-Z. There is something else going on. Maybe they’ve been meaning to fire him for a long time but this was the moment they chose to do it.

  • LGD

    Go on YouTube to hear the interview. Titled: Beanie Siegel Addresses His Situation Towards Jay Z (Part 1). Around the 5:45 mark. I’m not hearing anything negative about the Jews. He chose his words carefully.

  • smarter than you

    haha yea jay-z is thinking about a philly radio host hahahahahahahahahah thats sooo funny.he got fired becuase you cant bring in numbers….

  • Still cant ban me bossip, 6am equals genius

    rofl

  • anonymous

    All I can say is this. For those who know what level Jay is really on, spiritually speaking…he has the type of power to have someone’s job, life, etc. BUT, there is One law, One life. He will reap every bad seed he has sown. I just hope he is ready when Satan himself comes to collect his soul!

  • anonymous

    All I can say is this. For those who know the real about what level Jay is operating on spiritually, he has the power to have someone’s job, life, etc. BUT there is only One Law, One Life. I just hope he is ready when satan himself comes to collect his soul!

  • olsweetdickwillie (WHO GONNA CHECK ME BOO?)

    That F*ggot Needs the Axe!!!

  • Kenny

    What man calls another man King? I mean, people are so struck by fame and money…. none of us know him personally, he could be killing kids at night for all we know. People wear muliple faces, dont trust just the one you see.

  • TRUTH HURTS

    @ASDS..WELL DAMN! LOL…

  • LGD

    I just got finish hearing the interview and song. I still say it wasn’t enough to get him fired. Unless you want to include the end when Charla said as long as I’m here you’ll always have a platform. I guess the other DJs didn’t say that. BS can still put him on blast via YouTube. So, if it was Jay-Z’s doing, he clearly has nothing better to do. At the end of the song, it sounded like BS wanted to cry. He still had nice things to say about Jay-Z esp. the part about how Damon was mis-using the company’s funds.

  • nottmee

    he’s a dark so anyways. He seems like he hates life and himself.

  • Dajournalist

    Oh. ANd the public needs to be very aware of the mass ‘firings’ that are occuring in radio. If the radio personalities aren’t pushing a certain AGENDA, they will be eliminated. We should all be concerned about he strategic silencing of certain voices. (Raised eyebrow and side eye.)
