Charlamagne tha God vs. Trump: The Clash That Lit Up Social Media.

Charlamagne tha God vs. Trump: The Clash That Lit Up Social Media.

In the USA.

The news as it trends.

Charlamagne tha God sparked a firestorm after appearing on Lara Trump’s Fox News show, where he suggested traditional conservatives could reclaim the GOP in light of the Epstein files.

Donald Trump fired back with a furious tirade on Truth Social, branding Charlamagne a “racist sleazebag,” “low IQ,” and mocking his use of “God” in his name.

Charlamagne clapped back, accusing Trump of “scraping the bottom of the Black barrel” and ducking responsibility—fueling an online frenzy.

Charlamagne, born Lenard Larry McKelvey in Charleston, SC, rose from humble beginnings and run-ins with the law to become a bold media voice.

After internships and local radio gigs, he gained visibility alongside Wendy Williams and later catapulted to fame as co-host of The Breakfast Club in 2010.

His candid interviews and edgy takes earned widespread recognition.

He’s since launched shows on MTV2 and Comedy Central, co-founded the Black Effect Podcast Network, and authored bestsellers like Black Privilege.

A champion for mental health and cultural critique, Charlamagne proves that reinvention is possible.
