In the latest edition of Charlamagne Tha God and Andrew Schulz’s The Brilliant Idiot podcast, Charlamagne claims that Nicki Minaj called his superiors at Power 105.1 after he criticized her “Anaconda” single. Explaining his thoughts on her music, Charlamagne also referred to himself as an “objective fan.”
“Me and Nicki Minaj, I got love mad love for Nicki Minaj even though she ain’t fucking with me right now,” he said. “She unfollowed me on Twitter. She’s made calls to people in radio, people that I work for, and said she’s never coming on the Breakfast Club again.”
“I know she got upset when I said I thought ‘Anaconda’ was corny,” Charlamagne added. “But my exact synopsis on ‘Anaconda’ when it first came out was, ‘I’m not really feeling this record. It’s not for me. It’s for girls, it’s for kids, it’s for people who like to shake their ass.’ I said when the video comes out, I will probably appreciate this song more. But I said, ‘This song is going to work, I just think its corny.’ That’s what I said. Then, when the BET Awards came around I said I think Iggy Azalea should have won Best Female Hip Hop Artist at the BET Awards ‘cause she has had a better year than Nicki Minaj thus far. I still feel that way. I also said during that time period that Nicki Minaj is the King of New York because when I saw her perform at Summer Jam, I’m like, ‘Yo, she really own that motherfucking stage.’ She had the records…she was really dominating. If being the King of New York still means something, she was the King of New York. Therefore I’m an objective fan. We’ve talked about Stans before. Stans cannot see anything wrong with their favorite artists.”
Earlier in the show, Charlamagne also revisited his recent back-and-forth with Peter Rosenberg over the Hot 97 personality’s decision to air out information about Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa’s split.
“When you hear that headline, ‘Amber Rose Caught Wiz Khalifa With Twin Sisters, Says Friend,’ what gender do you think said friend is?” Charlamagne asked on the podcast. “It’s not a girl man. It’s a bitch. But it’s not a girl. A dude. He claims to be Amber Rose’s friend.”
After reading segments of an article on air, Charlamagne pointed again to Rosenberg and chastised the Maryland native for making public the news about Rose and Khalifa.
“Now you know who it is, say his name ‘cause I won’t,” he said. “Yes man. Rosey. That’s his name from now on: Roseybitch. Roseybitch snitched. Listen, this is so bad that I started to email him ‘cause me and Roseybitch we do email each other from time to time about certain things. I started to email him, but then, you know that saying, ‘When you see an enemy making a mistake you let them.’ Plus, the mistake has already been made. Like, dog, mind your fucking business when it comes to other people’s relationships.
“According to this article, Amber told him this,” Charlamagne continued. “He took it to the radio and says it like it’s a fact ‘cause he’s upset that people are saying that Amber Rose cheated with Nick Cannon. Mind you, when Amber sent out those Tweets last week and she said, ‘Yo, the reports about me are not true. I would never cheat on my husband but my husband can’t say the same.’ That was enough for me. I believed Amber. I’m like, ‘Alright, he got caught cheating.’ Now we have the discussion of, is cheating a deal breaker? I don’t think it should be. But that’s between them two.”
i think it’s funny that this guy is calling rosenberg a snitch after everything hes done in his career including leaking the audio of mayweather struggling to read.
As much hard work and stuntin’ that Floyd does the nigga does need to at least read at a high school level. Money is cool but not being able to read at a basic level to your child is ridiculous. Especially with everything he has around him.
No excuses for that.
STFU with that craccca shit about reading to your kids, the man can read well enough to read
Dr Suess and if he cant he has enough money to hire Morgan Freeman to read the shit. Floyd needs to focus on boxing and worry about that other shit once he retiires, I could give a fuck about how a boxer reads or his IQ I want to see em fight in the ring.
if he could read dr seus or harry potter he would have done it and got $750k of 50 cents money to a charity of his choice
Callin some shit corny then sayin its not really your type of shit then callin yourself an objective fan. Thats not no objective fan its a “retard”.
Your comment made no sense.
Perfect example of an insecure artist. The fact that someone doesn’t like your song and you unfollow them on social media and are calling up their bosses is pathetic. It’s a corny record. Maybe if she focused more on her music and not her appearances, she wouldn’t be making corny music.
if she’s calling up bosses then that’s corny. she should just ignore it and only pay attention to people who like it
Charlamagne is a gossipy bitch to begin with, the clown got his stripes by being Wendy Williams sidekick.
…what’s even more corny than Anaconda is this stupid radio war between Power 105 and Hot 97, this radio hosts be acting like lil bitches.
Nicki Minaj is a drama queen and diva that has gotten to big for her boots
Why’s Charlamagne calling Nicki the “King” of New York? Is she really a guy?
blurring of gender roles to turn all humans into genderless and personality less biological androids
re: blurring of gender roles to turn all humans into genderless and personality less biological androids
You are a complete tool, almost as dumb as the OP. Why is he calling her the King? It’s a show of respect, it’s a reminder that although there has been oppression of women in the world and in the game in the past, people are finally seeing the light; gender does not define our limitations, and a woman can be on top just like any man can.
^ Um, CTG could’ve easily said “Queen” instead of “King”.
Calling the oppression of women card is disingenuous beacuse it preys on womens insecurity to make them anti social. If you want to be a successful woman then you should be proud of being called Queen. There are differences in men and women and we should not remove gender from words like King or Queen. He could have easily just have said “Ruler”.
labelling someone with words like “tool” just makes it easier for you to dismiss them. that’s not how you have a discussion. liberals are the most arrogant and prejudiced.
she’s a tranny!!!
Because if he said “Queen” it would imply that she’s not out here killing these male artists too.
“She’s the King” doesn’t sound right though. It’s like saying “He’s the Queen” when discussing a guy that’s good at doing things women normally do.

You say labelling is bad, and then you label liberals as arrogant and prejudiced? You’re a stupid motherfukka.
Rosenberg and Charlamagne have a lot more in common then I thought!
Didn’t all of YMCMB boycott Summer Jam and Hot 97 for a year because Rosenberg called Starships wack?
When you become a famous artist, not everyone is going to say nice things about you. You gotta have thick skin and this proves that Nicki Minaj cannot take criticism.
Wale is the male version of Nicki Minaj
you dont understand the mentality. theyve been held down and told “no” all their lives, so they have to live in denial and only be surrounded by yes men so they can be successful and happy. as long as they can stomach what they are doing, just turn the TV off if you don’t like it.
waleyyy dough????
Nicki is the Caribbean woman. You can never win an argument with one. Then she is I e of those Caribbean women who think she British, that’s even worse than a straight Caribbean woman. I used to think it was a prerequisite that Caribbean women argue on a Saturday tgats how women on my family get down. Nicki attitude and Rihanna annoying accent, this is why u just don’t argue with a Caribbean woman who think she British.
just let them think they’re right and remove yourself from the situation if you think they are wrong. you are never ever going to tell someone they are wrong. either agree with them or leave them be. you shouldn’t be arguing with anyone if you’re smart.
someone can only hurt you so long as you stay there for them to hurt you. the second you remove yourself they have nothing.
not like charlamagne lied..shits fuckin gay
Charlamagne thrives from making ssome Celebrities upset and talking about it, he makes them just comfortable enough to feel like he and them are cool and then he put’s them on blast. This is how he has managed too make himself a minor celebrity in his own right. If i was a famous rap artist i wouldn’t go on his show, i would not contribute to his relevance.
but august marks, you are not a famous rap artist.
Real shit.
And reality is based on each individual’s perception.
lol August Marks, SOA up in dis bitch
Its corny and catchy at the same time
nicki is weak and petty af, lil kim was right all along tbh
Lil Kim vs. Nicki Minaj
Who do think is better?
Comment your votes now!
Lil Kim would whoop Nicki’s fat ass in a freestyle easily like taking out the trash, haha.
beautiful lady
I think he was being generous in calling it corny. That’s about the best thing anyone can say about the song
I think her mum is wearing her Crown. But I thought that she only rapped in bow down bitches? At least they share fans now, that’s what counts.
The song sucks and no reason Baby Got Back should be touched.
It went No.2. It doesn’t suck.
Anaconda does suck, doesn’t matter how high it charted, a turd is a turd.
my anaocanda wont stop unless you got buns hun
Charlemagne is full of shit. He is tryin to make it seem as if he’s all innocent when yeah, he did kinda say all that, but this all actually started because of the BET awards. The BET awards give an artist an award based on a one year timeframe. March 2013- March 2014. Nicki obviously had that, let us not forget how Nicki ruined Valentine’s day for all men when she came out with Lookin Ass Nigga. Iggy had a big break with Fancy being so successful, but that song had just got big towards the end of their window. The only reason Fancy got such a big break was due to Clear Channel mandating that it be played a minimum of 110 times per week on their radio stations. They actually own the majority of broadcasts. Look it up. They choose one song by a NEW ARTIST every 10 weeks or so, and that song is in an experiment mode to see how it does on the charts. Fancy only then became so popular, and yes, I encourage everyone to do their research on it. Its actually sick how they choose a song, and by their history, it definitely seems a little racial if you see who they always choose. Charlemagne said, “What are all ya stans gonna do when Iggy wins Best Female tonight at the BET awards?” That’s basically taking a shot at Nicki’s fan base to stir shit up. Any artist, whether they are commercial or not knows that your fans really influence your livelihood, so he started twitter beefin with her barbz like the fag he is and then he wanted to recant and act as if he wasnt a kissass to Nicki. Nicki follows alot of her fans and I’m sure if you saw Charlemagne on your timeline taking shots at your fans and music you’d unfollow immediately. Had she responded, not only would his false career get a little shine in which he’s desperate for, but he wants to get the fame that Rosenberg got from Summer Jam. Charlemagne is a flip floppin ass nigga, and wants to smile in everyone’s face and then throw shots at them. Anyone who gets famous for knockin on other people and through gossip isn’t someone anyone should take seriously. The only reason he’s bringing it up now is because Nicki never acknowledged him or his remarks publicly, so in order for him to garner a little attention, this is what he does. That’s why Breakfast club is kissing Kim’s ass right now. This nigga is the epitome of a bitch, real talk and I’m done with Power 105.1.
why u mad?
bitch nigga you typed all that? get a job.
@ Anonymous: I’m not mad at all. I actually encourage rappers to push their pen, and step outside the box; however, I dislike people who critique them for personal gain rather promoting the genre as a whole.
@ Rob: Thanks for reading. Unlike other comments that blatantly express their one-sided opinions, I’m able to back up what I say with prior knowledge. I appreciate your advice as well, but I actually have a job and I’m in school minoring in journalism. Commenting here is just for leisure. I couldn’t say the same for you since I’m sure you’re posting on here to pass time while you wait for your unemployment benefits later this week, or you’ve presumably ran out on your extension altogether so your using the free wifi at your local McDonalds. Wishing you all the best bro.
For those of you who would like to read more about what I mentioned, see this link, from The Washington Post, a credible source, rather a hip hop gossip/blog site.

boy, nicki is not even paying for typing all that sheit and wasting your time.
nicki is doing her thing. c tha god is doing his thing. and you are wasting your life and boring us with your long ass comments.
Nicki will flop no matter what
This new demure quiet, sophisticated Nicki is really intriguging until someone rattles her cage. I’m not feeling it. Shes acting until her next reveal. Someone is gonna bring her out again for walkies. Bring back Hard Nicki.
dude who calls himself the god calling other things corny.
Nicki should have taken her pictures on a motobike to go with this new vogue sort of look. I’ve been seeing alot recently round my end. It sort of reminds me of a certain preachers past. Maybe when you sleep with someone, or they sow into you, you don’t need somewhere to live? People are coming up with all sorts to hide their hands. But its nothing new.
Bye Nicki. Hope you get back to full glory.
charlamagne cant talk about anyone else gossiping when that’s the only reason he has any kind of fame
