Charlamagne Recalls Diddy Getting Wendy Williams Fired From Hot 97 In ’98 After Suggestions About His Sexuality


Charlamagne Tha God recently claimed that Diddy was responsible for Wendy Williams’ firing from Hot 97 in 1998 due to her suggestions about his sexuality.



Speaking on comedian Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast, the Breakfast Club host addressed the tumultuous history between his mentor Williams and Diddy, which goes back several decades.


“Wendy’s whole thing was Diddy was gay,” Charlamagne said. “That’s why Wendy got fired from Hot 97. Wendy got fired from Hot 97 by Diddy ’cause that’s when Bad Boy was smoking hot. She got fired for putting that out there.”


Williams was fired from Hot 97 in 1998 after suggesting that the media mogul was homosexual. She allegedly had a photo of Diddy in an intimate situation with another man.




Gene Deal, Diddy’s former bodyguard, also spoke about Williams’ firing in a 2022 interview with The Art of Dialogue


“The power [Diddy] had with the radio stations in New York, motherfuckers didn’t breathe hard if [Diddy] didn’t want them to,” he said. “[Diddy] got one of the hottest DJs off Hot 97 because she wanted to put up a picture of him getting his pants pulled down.


“[Diddy] told Hot 97 if they didn’t get rid of her before he got back in New York, that they was not going to get any music from any of his friends, any of the record labels executives that was cool with him. Everyone was going to boycott their station.”


There have been growing rumors in recent months about Diddy’s sexuality. In his sexual assault lawsuit, producer Lil Rod claims the mogul groped him and tried to groom him into having sex with fellow producer Stevie J.





The suit also alleges that Diddy has had sex with both Meek Mill and Usher, though it referred to them indirectly as “a Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj” and an R&B singer who “performed at the Super Bowl and had a successful Vegas residency.”


The former vehemently denied the allegations, calling them “sick.”


During an appearance on the Drinx with Ginx podcast in April, comedian Luce Cannon claimed that Diddy once had sex with Family Matters actor Reginald VelJohnson, better known to the world as Carl Winslow.


“When Diddy fucked Carl Winslow, we was at the party,” he said. “And you know, we just chilling and shit. Everybody know me. I’m a goofy n-gga, I’m funny and stuff like that. So, I hear a n-gga just wearing out some shit.


“I’m like, ‘Who’s wearing this bitch out?’ N-gga, I kicked in the door. Boom! Kick in the door, n-gga, I seen— I look, I seen Carl Winslow put his head up … I swear to God [on] dead homie, Neighborhood Crip.”


Cannon continued: “When I seen that, cuz, right, Diddy came back. And he was telling me, he was like, ‘It’s nothing more enjoyable than having a man do something for some money. I’m like cuz that shit crazier than a muthafucka.”
