Biography

Lenard McKelvey (born June 29, 1980), known professionally as Charlamagne Tha God, is an American radio presenter and television personality. He is a co-host of the nationally syndicated radio show, The Breakfast Club with DJ Envy and Angela Yee, and stars in Guy Code, Guy Court and Girl Code, VJ for The Week in Jams with DJ Envy and Sofi Green. In 2015, Charlamagne began hosting the MTV2 show Uncommon Sense.

Charlamagne Tha God began his career as a radio intern in South Carolina upon his release from prison. He went on to become second mic alongside radio host and media personality Wendy Williams. At this point, his unorthodox and upfront questioning of Hip-Hop/R&B artists on radio raised his public profile but also caused rifts between himself and the guests of the show. He was laid off from the program in 2008.[2] Relations between Charlamagne and Williams deteriorated, though Charlamagne has stated numerous times on his show The Breakfast Club that he views Williams as a mentor and bears no ill feeling toward her.

Charlamagne tha God is a radio personality with DJ Envy and Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club on Power 105.1 in New York City, New York and 93.7 New Hip Hop in Houston, Texas. He is a cast member of Guy Code, a comedy television show on MTV2 that talks about a special code of conduct just for men.

He formerly starred on the MTV2 show Charlamagne & Friends and, with fellow MTV2 personality Andrew Schulz, hosts The Brilliant Idiots podcast on Combat Jack’s Loud Speakers Network. At the end of 2013 and 2014, he co-hosted MTV New Year’s live from Times Square and in 2015 he was a correspondent for the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards pre-show. He currently stars and hosts MTV2 show Uncommon Sense with Charlamagne tha God.

He narrates the BET Show, Inside the Label.

Charlamagne is known for his work on The Breakfast Club, and previously from being on The Wendy Williams Experience with Wendy Williams on VH1. He has also starred on various MTV and MTV2 shows.
