Looks like Cassie’s getting the last laugh. After six months on the air as host of his own morning show on Philadelphia’s The Beat 100.3, controversial on-air personality Charlamagne Tha God was fired this morning.
While the official word is for Charlamagne’s ousting is: “The Beat said they want to move in a different direction,” word on the streets is the former Wendy Williams sidekick was bounced because of his exclusive interview with Beanie Sigel, criticizing Jay-Z, that aired last week.
