Charlamagne Tha God Defends Ignoring Tyla’s Interview Requests, “I’m Here For The People”
Earlier this month, singer Tyla’s interview on The Breakfast Club sparked controversy, largely directed at Charlamagne Tha God. During their chat, Charlamagne asked Tyla about her identity as a South African “coloured” person, a topic her publicist had explicitly deemed off-limits. This led to backlash from viewers who felt Tyla was avoiding discussing her Blackness, an accusation she later refuted in a public statement.
Peter Rosenberg was quick to criticize Charlamagne, accusing him of making the interview uncomfortable by deliberately asking questions Tyla had requested to avoid. Rosenberg’s claims weren’t unfounded; Charlamagne has now confirmed he disregarded the restrictions set by Tyla’s team.
Charlamagne revealed that Tyla’s team had asked him to steer clear of questions about her connection to Kai Cenat, her absence from Chris Brown’s tour, a recent injury, comparisons to other artists, her dating life, and her racial identity. “I said to them, ‘No,’” Charlamagne stated, adding that it was up to Tyla’s team to either prepare her for these topics or cancel the interview.
“I’m not a d*ck sucker for record labels,” Charlamagne asserted. “I have a job to do, and my job is for the people.”
What are your thoughts on Charlamagne Tha God’s approach to Tyla’s interview? Was he justified in ignoring her requests, or did he cross a line? Share your opinions in the comments and stay tuned to Honk Magazine for more updates.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
