During an episode of “Patriot Act With Hasan Minhaj” in 2019, Charlamagne tha God joined Hasan Minhaj for a candid conversation about mental health. When Minhaj asked who gave the radio host his most heated interview, Charlamagne originally answered Birdman. “The most obvious answer would be the Birdman interview when he came in there with like six or seven guys and then all the goons filed out in a single file line,” he explained. However, Charlamagne quickly changed his answer to rapper Nelly.
“Actually, the most intense one where I was like, ‘Aight, this dude might knock my head off,’ it was Nelly,” he revealed. “Because you gotta think, Nelly is an athletic brother. He’s in shape and he was very calm. And he just looked at me and he said to me, ‘You know I keep retainers for guys like you, cuz.’ I understand that talk!”
The interview occurred in 2012, two years after Charlamagne tha God debuted on “The Breakfast Club.” The host told Nelly that he used to be the biggest rapper in the world, but clearly not anymore. Charlamagne also continued saying, “Musically, you kind of cold out here,” a subtle jab to the rapper’s popular song “Hot in Herre.” Nelly repeatedly made ambiguous remarks throughout the interview and warned Charlamagne that one of his friends was a “hothead.” It was definitely tense, to say the least; is there any lingering bad blood a decade later?
