At one point, the discussion became so heated that verbal threats were exchanged. The clash quickly turned into a battle of egos, setting the stage for a candid interview that had the studio — and social media — buzzing.
As we’ve previously discussed, the former Roc-A-Fella CEO has reportedly been struggling financially, however it’s clear his clapback energy is in perfect condition. While Dash came to the morning show to promote his new artist, address claims that he’s “broke,” explain why he has false teeth and more, things took a turn when Dash shifted from his finances to Charlamagne being a bad example of a “masculine Black man.”
The radio host’s first reaction was to laugh, which seems to be a common theme throughout this super entertaining interview.
“I don’t think you’re a proper representation of the masculine black man. You know what I’m saying? I don’t think you guys are,” Dash shot, seemingly including DJ Envy. “Like, your OG is Wendy Williams… she put you on, and you should give her grace. And you should also give her her props out of respect,” he explained. The record exec then teased that Charlamagne “ran,” referring to a 2012 incident where the host was held up by five men plotting to attack him, per WorldStar. “Yeah. I’d rather get my ass whipped,” he teased.
The tension escalated further when Dash called Charlamagne “gay” to his face. According to him, his start in “gossip” under Wendy Williams is “very feminine,” maintaining that his background is unbecoming of a man’s character.
“No disrespect, but I kind of think you’re gay. You just act a little gay,” Dash said. When asked if he has a “problem” with gay people, he denied it saying, “Not at all. I’ve got a problem with people that pretend they’re not gay,” he said. “Men that are gay should say they’re gay,” Dash urged.
When Charlamagne denied the claim, he doubled down, “You are!”
When the radio host finally came with a jab, teasing that Dash’s energy was like an “old Harlem aunty,” Dash turned up the heat in response.
“I could punch you right in your face like a grown man, and you won’t do shit,” Dash exclaimed. “Your version of respect is different than mine. If we were on the street right now and you were talking like that I would’ve fucked you up,” he reitertaed. “But I’m not gonna do that.”
Fans ran to the comment section to weigh in on the tense exchange, and it’s clear folks just came to get their laugh on.
“Wait did he say his OG is wendy williams 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂,” one fan laughed. “Dame called Charlamagne a gossip girl haha,” a second laughed. Wendy is the reason why charlamagne is in radio let’s be clear. She opened the doors for majority black radio hosts. To be raw and UNCUT,” another commended the gossip queen. “This escalated so fast omg,” a fourth wrote.
In the end, the interview was less about music or business moves and more about Dame Dash giving an unexpectedly entertaining show—one that was equal parts combative, messy, and undeniably hilarious, according to fans.
