Charlamagne Tha God Defends Ignoring Tyla’s Interview Requests, “I’m Here For The People”

Charlamagne Tha God

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.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee

Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.

Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.

The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.

“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
