Details are still a bit sketchy, but it has been confirmed that radio personality Charlamagne Tha God was fired from Philadelphia radio station 100.3 The Beat shortly after his heavily rotated interview with Beanie Sigel.
At press time, it was still unknown if the DJ's split from the station was connected to the Beans interview, but many are saying his comments on the issue are leading them to believe Jay may have had a hand in it.
"I just got fired from 100.3 The Beat in Philly. Salute to Philly I hope you all enjoyed me the past 6 months," he wrote via Twitter. "RT @lilduval: to everyone excited bout @cthagod getting fired. it dont matter we on TV wit "hood state of the union" see how GOD work. lmao #cthagodgotfired for being the glitch in the matrix . #cthagodgotfired cause 100.3 The Beat said they want to move in a different direction. God bless them. Thanks for the past 6 months. RT @fuzeb: So @cthagod got fired after the hov interview... reminds me of when Puff got Wendy fired for callin him gay #cthagodgotfired and if its any sympathy p*ssy out there for me I'll take it!"
Charlamagne was brought on board at 100.3 back in April shortly after being fired as the side kick on Wendy Williams' radio show.
"Doing an all-music morning show with mixer Bent Roc garnered some of the highest ratings that we've seen in the last year for our morning show on the Beat," Radio One executive Elroy Smith said in an interview earlier this year. "We are presently No. 1 with women 18-34 without doing a traditional morning show. Charlamagne will be brought on board to accent the current success of the 'Morning Beat.' His commanding personality along with his Internet savvy and his desire to be local will only propel this show to a higher plane."
Although he seemed excited then, Smith has yet to issue any statement on what lead to Charlamagne's firing.
