Charlamagne tha God is reminding listeners he saw Drake's DJ Khaled diss coming after "Make Them Pay" dropped on Iceman.
The 47-year-old radio host kicked off Friday’s episode of The Breakfast Club by asking the show’s fans to avoid hitting their phone lines with any takes on the surprise triple release, which included Iceman, Maid of Honour, and Habibti.
“Salute to everyone out there who’s gonna lie and say they listened to all three Drake albums, even though all three Drake albums came out after midnight,” Charlamagne said. “Ain’t no way in hell you listened to all three Drake albums, so don’t even call up here telling that lie this morning, giving your reviews.”
He added, “I don’t wanna hear no reviews on any Drake music until at least next Wednesday or Thursday.”
From there The Breakfast Club played a portion of “Make Them Pay,” the track where Drake takes aim at DJ Khaled by pointing out his lack of public support for Palestine.
“Damn. You gon’ make Khaled lose 21 pounds, man,” Charlamagne quipped. “Khaled, I tried to warn you three days ago that you was getting a big shot.”
Co-host Loren LoRosa weighed in, saying that Khaled will not respond to that.
“How can he? Adlibbing?” Charlamagne asked. “What is he supposed to do? Does Khaled even got rappers to respond?”
“No, but you know, Khaled [can] get on, make a video, start yelling: ‘Yeah, keys! Positive!’ All of that. He ain’t doing none of that.”
“He’s either gonna make Khaled lose more weight or gain more weight from stress eating—one of the two,” Charlamagne quipped.
During the broadcast on Monday (May 11), Charlamagne sent a direct warning to Khaled after sharing a source confirmed to him that a diss was coming.
“Khaled, you need to be on edge,” he said at the time. “You and ASAP Rocky. You’re getting direct shots on the project, just wanted y’all to know that.”
