Radio veteran Charlamagne Tha God believes he really made the right decision. The hip-hop personality has defended his decision to cancel a mental health discussion event with rap star Kanye West.
Despite Ye’s star status, Charlamagne admitted in an interview Kanye’s publicized White House visit to see President Donald Trump could overtake the event’s message.
“For what I’m trying to do which is like elevate the conversation of mental health in the black community and you know, try to eradicate the stigma around mental health, I just didn’t think it’d be a good conversation. It’d be a distraction.” (“Late Show With Stephen Colbert”)
Last week, the “Breakfast Club” co-host announced the nixed mental health panel debate.

In early October, Charlamagne revealed the event along with Ye’s involvement.
A few months ago, Charlamagne and Kanye linked up for a nearly two-hour interview.
