Radio host Charlamagne Tha God has apologized for releasing a pre-recorded tape of undefeated boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr. attempting to read during an interview on Power 105.1.
Within the original clip — which was released in August on Power 105.1’s “The Breakfast Club” — Mayweather struggles to complete a ten-second drop in support of hiring veterans.
“I’m Floyd Mayweather,” he says before stumbling over the remainder of his lines.
Shortly after, Charlamagne admitted to HipHopDX that he felt bad for releasing the audio.
“I just felt like it was something that the listeners deserve to hear,” he said. “I like to give people context to the content that’s constantly out there. In hindsight I feel a little bad, only because he was recording drops for us.”
In the new Power 105.1 interview, which was with fellow radio host Angie Martinez, Charlagmane apologized for unleashing the embarrassing audio.
“I think most of the time with Charlamagne, he’s just being honest,” Angie says. “Whether you like it or not, that’s being honest. And that’s okay. But with that Mayweather thing, I thought that was just a little below the belt… I just felt like that wasn’t about you being honest. I felt there was an opportunity—and maybe you thought it was funny—but you took something that was private, you asked the man to do something for you, and then you make fun of him. It wasn’t about being honest.”
After a bit of back-and-forth banter with his co-hosts Angela Yee and DJ Envy, Charlamagne reluctantly apologized to Floyd.
“I’m sorry champ,” he said, after issuing an apology to “all the people who can’t really read.”

Over achieving genius like Charlamagne to complain about me

Nigga keep making fun of lightskinned niggas, calling us waffle colored negroes, yet he got caught bleaching his skin lmao fuck boy
he scared. go look up the rude jude interview with floyd. shit was hilarious. dude call up so mad talkin bout calling 50 and em to get the nigga fired from shade 45 and that white boy just kept dissing him and nothing ever happened.
it takes a real man to apologize..some things are just about respect..they got the ratings already no need to be that foul. When Charlamagne gets the pumpkin head for being “honest” he’ll wake his ass up. He already got ran up on outside the station a while back. I don’t wish bad on him, but Karma is real..so its best to be as real as possible, without crossing the line.
i aint watch the vid but i got the impression that it wasnt a sincere apology since he also apologized to “all the people who really can’t read”
I noticed a lot of people can’t spell. Grown ass people.
What an ugly personality to match the ugly facial expression and demeanor in the photo on this article.
The picture showed makes me think that it’s not a sincere apology.
I wish someone would punch this mother fucker square in the nose.
Radio boy what you upto nowdays”
seeking for fame? need attention?
RADIO BOY STAY IN YOUR MOTHERFUCKEN LANE BRA’
