What Ever Happened To Freedom of Speech?
The people with the most money have the most power. Sadly to say these music executives control every aspect of the media. They can control what goes on the air, what get published and in this case who reports the content. We’ve even seen it here at NonStopInfo.com, this site has been shut down a couple of times throughout the year because “Industry Executives” did not like certain content or pictures that were published.
Charlemagne Tha God got fired 3 days after his interview with Bennie Segil. Charlemagne may have gotten fired for his interview, but the only thing it can really do is boost his career. Look at Wendy Williams for example, she got fired after calling Diddy gay while working at Hot 97, now she has a television show on 2 major networks.
Media Outrage was able to get the full details from an employee of Philly’s 100.3 The Beat.
MO: Was Charlamagne fired because of his interview with Beanie Sigel?
Person: Yes, I am 100% sure that he was let go because of his interview with Beanie Sigel.
MO: So you’re not speculating like the rest of us right now?
Person: No
MO: Why would they do that though, knowing that that interview brought high ratings?
Person: You have to understand as I’m very sure that he already does, the station has to maintain an amicable relationship with Jay-Z and his camp because this man is the biggest rapper in the game right now. Infact, he’s not really even a rapper anymore. He’s a business. So you can’t risk ruining a relationship like that just to draw ratings. A radio personality can always be replaced and with the proper set-up, put in a position to succeed. It’s better for the station to replace that person than ruin a relationship with someone who has been on top of the game for years now.
MO: So you are saying that you are really 100% sure that Charlamagne was fired because of his interview with Beanie Sigel?
Person: Yes. I can’t really go into the particulars but that’s what I was told. Is it foul? Yes. This is the business that we are in though.
MO: Thank you very much for taking the time to speak with us.
