Charlamagne Tha God Cancels Mental Health Conversation With Kanye West

Charlamagne Tha God has canceled his upcoming mental health conversation with Kanye West. On Monday (October 15), The Breakfast Club co-host announced the news on Instagram.

“Normalizing being mentally healthy is a conversation that I really wanted to have with Kanye because he’s been so vocal about his own mental health struggles,” he explained in the caption. “Unfortunately I think to have that conversation with him right now would not be productive and a total distraction from the point of the convo which is to eradicate the stigma of mental health especially in the black community.”-

The conversation was originally scheduled for October 17 in New York City at The Town Hall.

Over the past week, YE has caused a flurry of controversy. On Monday (October 1), he pushed the Yandhi album release date to November 23, which also outraged his fans. He had originally promised the album would arrive on September 29, the same night of his SNL performance.
