Charlamagne is also expected to discuss personal topics, including his struggles with addiction and his mental health journey, alongside current news events. This follows a previous Breakfast Club interview in October 2024 where Charlamagne laughed at Lara’s claim that Donald Trump isn’t racist, highlighting their contrasting perspectives
He’s been a vocal critic of both political parties, often expressing frustration with Democrats for failing to connect with working-class voters and praising Donald Trump’s ability to disrupt traditional political language, though he’s not a Trump supporter. His influence extends to shaping political discourse, particularly among younger and Black audiences, with nationally syndicated radio show The Breakfast Club serving as a key platform during election cycles.

| Charlamagne tha God |
Born Lenard Larry McKelvey on June 29, 1978, in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, he has become a significant voice in media, particularly within Black communities, due to his candid discussions on politics, race, culture, and mental health.
His nickname, "Charlamagne tha God," was inspired by his childhood fascination with Charlemagne (Charles the Great) and a playful nod to his bold persona.
Charlamagne started his career in radio in South Carolina, working under mentors like Wendy Williams, before rising to fame with The Breakfast Club alongside DJ Envy and Jess Hilarious (formerly Angela Yee).
The show is known for its unfiltered interviews with high-profile figures, including politicians like Kamala Harris and celebrities like Kanye West. Charlamagne’s interviewing style is direct and provocative, often challenging guests on controversial topics, which has earned him both praise and criticism.
Beyond radio, he’s a bestselling author (Black Privilege and Get Honest or Die Lying), a podcast host (Brilliant Idiots), and a mental health advocate, openly sharing his struggles with anxiety and therapy.
