In the ever-entertaining realm of hip-hop culture, drama is as common as beats and rhymes, and this latest saga doesn’t disappoint. Picture this: Charlamagne Tha God, the king of unapologetic commentary, goes toe-to-toe with Elliott Wilson, a prominent voice in the industry, after Wilson aired some grievances about Mase and Cam’ron’s podcast escapades. I mean, can you imagine the fireworks? It’s like watching your favorite sitcom cross over with a thrilling action movie—you just can’t look away!
So, what’s sparked this fiery exchange, you ask? Well, it seems Charlamagne didn’t hold back during a recent episode of Brilliant Idiots, throwing shade at Wilson’s perceived bitterness and urging him to focus on his own established platform—Rap Radar. It’s a classic case of “mind your own business,” wrapped in a juicy hip-hop narrative. Buckle up, folks! This isn’t just gossip; it’s a dish of hot takes garnished with some sizzling critiques, and it’s about to get even more interesting! Let’s dive into the sparks flying between these two titans!
Charlamagne Tha God and Elliott Wilson’s war of words continues with C Tha God reacting to Wilson’s recent rant about Mase and Cam’ron podcast in the latest episode of Brilliant Idiots. Talking to co-host Andrew Schulz, Tha God says, “You’re not just sitting around, just hating on other people for what they’re building, like Elliott Wilson does all the time. He can’t help himself. It was just disgusting.” Afterward, Charlamagne spoke on Wilson’s new gimmick not working. He continued: “It don’t work if you come off as bitter.”
Charlamagne would advise that Wilson focus on his established hip-hop website, Rad Radar. “I just don’t understand why you would just discard a great property like Rap Radar. You know how hard it is to create IP nowadays. You got the IP, Rap Radar, even if you don’t get the guest. Why don’t you just put your opinions on there? You and B.Dot could be sitting around, having these conversations about hip-hop and hip-hop culture.” In 2024, Wilson joined Hip-Hop DX as an Editorial Director.
Brilliant Idiot’s response follows Elliott Wilson sharing his thoughts on Mase and Cam’ron’s popular podcast It Is What It Is. Wilson is annoyed by celebrities crossing into his profession without experience. “Everybody’s media… Cam’ron running around like he’s Stephen A. Smith,” Wilson told Rory and Mal. “‘Why is he a sports journalist? Because he has an opinion?'” Elliott inquired to the hosts. His verbal attack continued by adding how people like Killa Cam and Mase are entering the business “off celebrity alone.”
Cam and Mase responded to Wilson on Instagram. The post’s caption reads: “HEY @elliottwilson THEN YOU GOT SOME NERVE TO BE FOLLOWING US, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE WE DON’t FOLLOW YOU [clown emoji] SO WITH THAT BEING SAID “CURVE” YA BREATH STANK, IF “PUN” WAS ALVE HE WILL TELL YOU GO THAT WAY.” Charlamagne shares no interest in speaking to Wilson in the conversation. Wilson has not yet responded to Tha God’s comments.
