The Breakfast Club became The Awkward Get-Together when Funny Marco reminded Charlamagne Tha God that he cheated on his wife.
In an episode of the radio show that was posted on Halloween, Funny Marco and Charlamagne engaged in a passionate conversation about whether infidelity is justified in a relationship. Funny Marco was on the side that it could be justified, but it wasn’t clear if he was joking or being completely serious as he mentioned the concept of “pre-cheating.”
Charlamagne, who’s been open about being unfaithful in his marriage before he matured, was against it — which prompted Funny Marco to twist the figurative knife in his side.
“Have you ever cheated on your wife?” asked Funny Marco (around the 46-minute mark). Charlamagne responded immediately, saying, “Yeah, we’ve been together 27 years.”
“I learned if you really, truly loved someone, you would never put them in a position to have to make a decision,” continued the radio host. Funny Marco made a funny face before critiquing Charlamagne’s response.
“Sounds like you’re reading off a script,” he said.
After Funny Marco suggested a few minutes later that it’s okay to cheat if it’s “cheaper to keep her,” Charlamagne put his foot down.
“Tell these brothers, don’t cheat,” said Charlamagne. “Black men don’t cheat.”
Funny Marco came back immediately.
“They do!” exclaimed the comedian. “You cheated.”
Caught and seemingly sheepish, Charlamagne explained his stance. “Yes, I was a black boy. There’s a difference,” said the radio host.
After Funny Marco asked Charlamagne how old he was when he did it, the radio host opted not to answer.
“You know Marco, you’re asking too many questions,” said Charlamagne.
“It’s not about the age, it’s about the mindset,” he continued. “You can be in your early 30s and you can be immature. I was an immature little boy.”
In other Funny Marco news, the comedian opened up about what the world can expect from the second season of his Open Thoughts interview series in an interview with Vibe Magazine.
