Charlamagne Tha God addressed questions about a controversial moment involving South African artist Tyla. Vlad posed a question inspired by a fan: did the show ruin Tyla’s career when Charlamagne asked her about her “coloured” identity—a term often used in South Africa to describe mixed-race heritage? Charlamagne defended the question, saying it was a legitimate media inquiry about colorism and race, which artists should be prepared for, blaming Tyla’s label for poor media prep rather than the Breakfast Club. He recounted that Tyla looked to her label representatives for help mid-interview, but they discouraged the question. Charlamagne also criticized major record labels for lacking proper album promotion in the streaming era, pointing to Tyla’s low sales and comparing it to other artists’ lack of strategic rollouts. Ultimately, he emphasized the importance of artist preparation and label investment over blaming media platforms.
