Charlamagne Tha God Says Tyla’s Team Gave Him A List Of Questions To Not Ask
Charlamagne Tha God Speaks On Disregarding Tyla’s Interview Requests: “I Have A Job To Do”
Charlamagne Tha God was faced with heavy backlash following his controversial interview with buzzing South African singer, Tyla, on ‘The Breakfast Club’ earlier this month.
Just in, CTG has now admitted to disregarding Tyra’s interview requests. According to him, he was given a list of questions not to ask, but he asked anyways.
Charla claims Tyla’s team asked him not to ask questions about Kai Cenat, her recent injury, her absence from Chris Brown’s tour, comparisons to other artists especially Rihanna, her dating life, or her racial identity.
“I said to them, ‘No,’” the popular host said, claiming that at that point, it was up to them to either prepare the songstress for those topics to be brought up or just cancel the interview altogether.

“I am not a d*ck sucker for record labels. I have a job to do, and my job is for the people,” Charlamagne added.
During the said controversial interview, CTG asked Tyla about her identity as a South African “coloured” person, but was shut down right away by her publicist who made it clear that she wouldn’t be answering any questions about that particular topic.
This led to some fans accusing the “Water” hitmaker of denying her Blackness. She was then forced to deny the accusations in a lengthy letter to her fans. “Yoh guys. Never denied my blackness, idk where that came from. I’m mixed with black/Zulu, Irish, Mauritian/Indian and Coloured,” she began.
“In Southa I would be classified as a Coloured woman and other places I would be classified as a black woman. Race is classified differently in different parts of the world. I don’t expect to be classified as Coloured outside of Southa by anyone not comfortable doing so because I understand the weight of that word outside of SA,” she continued.
“But to close this conversation, I’m both Coloured in South Africa and a black woman. As a woman for the culture. It’s and not or… with that being said ASAMBEEE” she added.
