Radio personality Charlamagne Tha God is giving up the good regarding his unexpected departure from Philadelphia radio station 100.3 The Beat, a move some says was prompted by Jay-Z.
Although Charlamagne failed to confirm whether Jay had a hand in him being let go, he did hint at the interview with Beanie Sigel possibly playing a part.
"I don't know, that's what I'm hearing but I don't know how true that is," Charlamagne said about the Beans interview. "I don't see why that woulda been an issue. I would hope that the powers that be, like Jay-Z, wouldn't be that petty. But you never know. Yeah, my numbers were great. I've never had any disciplinary action, never been suspended, never been written up, never had any verbal warnings... As controversial as they say I am, I'm like a model employee. Any program director that's worked with me will tell you that but that's the way it goes in radio . That's why you gotta treat these buildings like the Carter, man. You go in, set up shop, do what you gotta do and burn it down when it's over."
Charlamagne took to his Twitter page yesterday (November 2) morning to announce his separation from the station.
"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. " 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.

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!"
