Hip-hop personality and New York City morning show host Charlamagne Tha God tends to speak his mind, which makes for entertaining radio but gets him into trouble from time to time. After a recent beef with Hot 97 legend Funkmaster Flex and a near altercation with Busta Rhymes, a cell phone video has surfaced of the Power 105.1 DJ getting knocked in the head and then nearly jumped by five men before running away.

Clearly attempting to harass him on video so it could be posted online, Charlamagne blasted the perpetrators via Twitter. "N---as try to jump me in front of the radio station this morning. Video cameras rolling and all," he wrote. "LMAO. Nice try. 5 on 1."

Saying they tried to "Worldstar" him, which is maybe the first time the controversial website known for its grainy beatdown videos has been used as a verb, Charlamagne said it comes with the territory of being an outspoken media personality in the hip-hop world. In the clip, Charlamagne refuses to give a drop to someone for a DVD and then gets outnumbered and swarmed.

He addressed the incident and explained why he ran away in his "Donkey Of The Day" segment during the Breakfast Club morning show. "Ya'll know that was a set up," he tweeted. "They didn't want no drop. They tried to get me the day before with the same s---."

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
