When Damon Dash pulled up to The Breakfast Club, I expected tea. Instead, I got served a triple-shot espresso with a splash of chaos. From the moment he sat down, Dame wasn’t here to play—he accused Charlamagne tha God of secretly cashing Jay-Z checks, Charlamagne clapped back by calling him “broke,” and suddenly the studio turned into Love & Hip Hop: Financial Aid Edition.
Dame Came For Charlamagne’s Whole Resume
According to Dame, Charlamagne isn’t even a “real Black man” because he learned his gossip chops under the legendary Wendy Williams. Did Wendy just catch a stray? Dame basically said Charlamagne should get on bended knee and call her “OG.” Personally, I think Wendy teaches a master class at Hogwarts called Defense Against the Chatty Pattys.
But Dame didn’t stop there. He brought up an incident from years ago where Charlamagne nearly got jumped by several men and chose to flee. Dame insists he would have fought—win, lose, or dental plan. His reasoning? To uphold his rep and make women feel safe. I mean… I’m all for chivalry, but why does it sound like Dame is auditioning for a “Hood Superhero” franchise?
Gay Accusations, Broke Jokes & Harlem Pastor Fits
Things got pettier than two aunties fighting over the last piece of jollof. Dame accused Charlamagne of being gay, Charlamagne volleyed back with “you’re broke,” and before you know it, we were watching the playground version of two grown men. At one point, Dame even clowned Charlamagne’s outfit, calling it a shady Harlem pastor suit. Charlamagne, unfazed, said he made it himself—only for Dame to shoot back, “It looks like your boyfriend made that.” Whew, the shade.
The Almost Mic-Drop Exit
After all that drama, Dame tried to pull a Birdman and walk out on a “mic drop.” Spoiler alert: it flopped. Hosts Loren LoRosa and Jess Hilarious weren’t having it—they forced him to finish the interview. So much for a dramatic exit.
Dame’s Other Targets: 50 Cent, Paid in Full & The “Dame Debt” Tagline
In between roasting Charlamagne, Dame also dragged 50 Cent for claiming he owns the rights to Paid in Full. He reminded everyone that he’s still fighting that battle, alongside his frustration with media outlets clowning him over his finances. (Because let’s be honest, “Dame Debt” is a cold nickname, but also kinda catchy… sorry, Dame.)
What The Internet Said (Because Y’all Never Disappoint)
Social media had zero chill after watching this interview. Here are some of the spiciest takes:
- “Dame is a 50-year-old man using the ‘I think you’re gay’ comeback like he’s still in middle school.”
- “I could only watch the first 20 minutes—man is exhausting.”
- “He must have called Charlamagne ‘gay’ like 50 times. Real life Riley Freeman moment.”
- “He was contradicting himself every 5 minutes while Charla just clowned him.”
- “His Michael Corleone comparisons? Cringe. Somebody take the Godfather DVD out his house.”
Basically, the internet verdict is: entertaining, messy, but exhausting.
The Bigger Picture
Beyond the jokes, Dame’s rant raises some real questions:
- Is Charlamagne really biased because of his Roc Nation ties?
- Does gossip really make someone a “poor representation of Black men”?
- And most importantly, why do grown millionaires argue like high schoolers in detention?
Dame Dash didn’t just give us an interview—he gave us a circus. Between the gay accusations, broke jokes, and Wendy Williams shout-outs, this might just go down as the pettiest Breakfast Club episode of all time.
