DJ Envy Admits He Initially Didn’t Want To Work With Charlamagne Tha God

DJ Envy has admitted that he was initially reluctant to work with Charlamagne Tha God on The Breakfast Club due to how many times he had been fired from previous jobs.

The comments were made in a new interview withMillion Dollaz Worth of Game, where the two co-hosts reflected on the early days of their syndicated radio show, and admitted their relationship was rocky at first.

Right before he joined The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne was a radio personality over at Philadelphia’s 100.3 The Beat, where he had been infamously fired after he conducted a contentious interview with Beanie Sigel at the peak of his feud with JAY-Z.

“I remember even when they brought Charlamagne in I didn’t wanna work with him,” Envy began. “I’m like this n-gga got fired six times.”

“Four,” Charlamagne said, correcting his co-host.

“Whatever it was,” Envy continued. “I’m like, ‘You want me to work with this n-gga?’ At the time I had two kids, I’m like, ‘No!'”

Regardless, Envy and Charlamagne’s partnership proved to be incredibly fruitful. The Breakfast Club was inducted into the Radio Hall Of Fame in 2020, with Charlamagne expressing his gratitude after the induction on Instagram.

“One day people will look back and give us respect for how we impacted the culture the past decade,” Char wrote. “I know it’s hard to show love when folks are still active, I get it, I get it. I’m sure when we get a documentary or something the flowers will come but In the meantime.

“All Praises and Glory Due To God and sincere Thanks and Gratitude to everyone who listens to us on the radio, via podcast, YouTube, however you consume your breakfast, THANK YOU for being a part of our club.

He continued: “Also this is just a reminder that there really are Jay Z bars for every situation in life. Let’s sing along……..’I’m in the HALL already, on the wall already, I’m a work of art, I’m a Warhol already. On another level, on another plane already, Breakfast Club we got our own lane already.'”
