Russell Simmons accuser calls out ‘Breakfast Club’ after mogul’s rape denial
Russell Simmons denied allegations of sexual assault during a radio interview Wednesday, leading one of his accusers to blast the program for giving the hip hop mogul a platform.
The 62-year-old music producer spoke out on “The Breakfast Club” when co-host Charlamagne tha God asked him about the new HBO Max docuseries “On the Record,” in which Simmons has been accused of sexually assaulting three women.
“I have not watched it,” Simmons said, before going on to detail his life as a “playboy” while denying he ever forced himself on anyone.
“I’m guilty—of having underwritten, supported, made soundtracks for, taken advantage of, and lived in a grossly unjust society,” he went on. “I helped write the song ‘I’m a Ho’ with Whodini. … I made the movie ‘How to Be a Player’ and Bell Bill Bellamy played me. So I know what I’m guilty of, and I’ve been unconscious as a playboy, and today the title is appropriate of ‘womanizer,’ So I’m guilty of that. And you know, back then I thought it was a game … there were no black actresses that I didn’t date, and they’re my friends today.
“I went out every night, looking for new girls to date, and almost all of them are my friends today … they don’t have the experience of me being the monster that the movie makes me to be.”
Simmons also discussed Oprah Winfrey’s initial involvement in the doc and her decision to ultimately back out.
“She walked away, and she did say that the stories had inconsistencies — not one, but all the stories, all three girls.
“I could never say that someone doesn’t feel victimized, these stories are 25-40 years old. I can’t say that someone doesn’t feel victimized, I can tell you that I don’t feel I victimized them.”
Accuser Sil Lai Abrams immediately took to social media to call out the businessman and “The Breakfast Club” itself for giving the Def Jam co-founder a platform.
“The biggest radio show in the Black community just gave a huge middle finger to Black women and survivors of sexual assault,” Abrams tweeted. “This is obscene @breakfastclubam. Why do you carry water for this man? Why now? Why are you so tone deaf? You’re all complicit in ensuring that black women’s right to bodily autonomy continues to be denied. You’re also rape apologists.”

Charlamagne Tha God Breaks Silence On Leaving ‘The Breakfast Club’
Article via UrbanIslandz
Joe Budden has sent fans of Charlamagne Tha God into a slight panic by saying the radio host was leaving “The Breakfast Club.”
A large portion of people starts their day by tuning in to “The Breakfast Club” where Charlamagne Tha God and his co-hosts, DJ Envy and Angela Lee, keep listeners up to date with all the freshest hip hop happenings. Celebrities often find themselves sweating and revealing secrets while sitting in the studio as the team keeps them on their toes. While Envy and Angela are an integral part of the show, no one could argue that Charlamagne is the driving force behind that radio machine.
In addition to his daily morning show gig on Power 105.1, the Howard Stern of hip hop also hosts a YouTube series where he interviews celebrities, has written a couple of books and is generally a man to follow on social media. For the last couple of weeks, rumors have been rife that Lenard McKelvey, Chalarmagne’s government name, is planning to vacate his seat on “The Breakfast Club.” While NeNe Leakes was on the March 4th edition of the show to discuss her future on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Charlamagne hinted at his own future by admitting that he had frequently quit the radio show mentally recently. Joe and his co-hosts even discussed the 41-year-old’s possible departure on his own podcast.

With his name flying around everywhere, Charlamagne has now chosen to address the rumors. “A lot of people ran with what I said in that interview and they did articles on it and stuff like that,” he said on his podcast , The Brilliant Idiots. “You know what I be more concerned about? I don’t like the misinformation about platforms, whether it’s The Brilliant Idiots or The Breakfast Club. I saw Joe say that and I was looking at YouTube comments and seeing people say ‘Brilliant Idiots isn’t that successful’ and I’m like, that’s so disrespectful because it just shows me how misinformed people are.”
Charlamagne Tha God confirmed that his current contract with The Breakfast Club is up in December, so we’ll see whether he hangs up his mic.

C Tha God calls on his fans for their honest opinions.
We are currently in a climate where people are feeling more comfortable with expressing how they have undergone certain procedures to enhance their receding hairlines. Kudos to such acts like Tory Lanez and Tyga who have been so open about their cosmetic touchups. “At the end of the day … I don’t know about Soulja or Tyga …. but my HAIRLINE most def made the BIGGEST come back of 2018 . And that’s factual,” Tory previously tweeted.
For acts such as Jamie Foxx – who has yet to publically announce his truth – just know there are people who get it.
The latest to speak publically about their hairline is none other than Charlamagne Tha God, who has taken to Instagram to ask his follower’s opinion on just which route he should take. “Some of y’all thinking about getting a new car for the summer I’m thinking about getting a new hairline. If I get my edges restored what hairstyle should I get?? Reply with a number. 1-6. Let’s discuss,” he captioned his post.
The series of images show familiar hairstyles from The Weeknd, OBJ, Usher and more. We think it’s safe to say C Tha God may be joking, but hey, live your best hair life.
