Charlamagne Tells Steve Harvey How He Got His Name

Charlamange Tha God is still making the rounds to promote his New York Times best seller Black Privilege: Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It. 

Yesterday, Charlamagne stopped by the Steve Harvey Show and revealed how he got his name. He used to sell crack in his youth and since his father was really well known around Moncks Corner, South Carolina he didn't want his him to know he was on the corner selling drugs. He called himself Charles, or Charlie and one day he was reading history books and learned that Charlemagne was French for Charles The Great. The God came from studying the five percent teachings of Islam which taught that the black man was God. He would go on to combine the two and Charlamagne Tha God was born.
