What did I step in today?
Charlamagne Tha God dropped a major revelation on air Sunday morning (June 8) that’s now making waves across rap circles. The outspoken radio host strongly suggested that Drake may have once put a “green light” on him—a term often interpreted as giving the go-ahead for someone to be attacked.
While Charlamagne didn’t say the words outright, he all but confirmed it through a wild story involving G-Eazy’s former bodyguards. According to Charlamagne, those security guys pulled him to the side and told him that a certain rapper had given orders years ago that if they ever saw him, they should “do him in.”
“The biggest security guards I ever seen in my life for G-Eazy line said you know we had a line on you we were told when we see ‘you just do it. Just do it all bills will be paid.’” he said on the podcast Brilliant Idiots. “We were told that when we see you for years, to let you have it but now we f### with you, blah blah blah.”
We should note how bodyguards can easily spin an assault into looking like self-defense. “You know how bodyguards work—they’ll find a way to assault you and make it seem like you were out of pocket,” an insider told me.
Charlamagne never mentioned the artist by name in the clip but did make a cryptic statement: “He’s not like us.” That line initially had some people speculating that he was referring to Kendrick Lamar, especially given the recent back-and-forths in Hip-Hop. But a closer listen, combined with his mention of lawsuits, had many landing on one conclusion: he was talking about Drake.
Charlamagne has had a long, rocky history with the OVO star. From sneak disses to on-air super shade, their relationship has rarely been warm. But an alleged behind-the-scenes order to rough him up? That’s another level entirely. YIKES.
“You know these guys really get confused,” my insider said. “They start thinking their real life is the fantasy life they’ve created. And that’s sad in the context of Hip-Hop.”
He didn’t say exactly when this was supposed to have happened, but judging from the vibe, it was some years ago. You all recall when Drake’s star power was surging:
Drake, of course, has not responded to the claim. But if true, it paints a concerning picture about how some artists handle criticism—or even perceived slights.
Charlamagne closed the segment on a note of relief: the attack never happened. He even thanked God in the weirdest of ways. “I’m not sitting there acting like a victim. I just thank God for always blessing me. That’s why I know every time I got jumped or punch in the face, I was supposed to.” K.
Godfather Drake, we need corroboration. Charlamagne’s story is a reminder that the lines between art and action can blur in the worst way.
