Jessica Gadsden’s husband Charlamagne Tha God
Lenard Larry McKelvey is the son of Larry Thomas McKelvey, and was born under the zodiac sign of Cancer on the 29th June 1978 in Charleston, South Carolina, USA, so of American nationality and African American ethnicity. Spending the majority of his childhood in the town of Moncks Corner in South Carolina, Lenard began selling drugs while a teenager. For possession of marijuana and later cocaine he was arrested twice, while after witnessing a shooting, he was arrested for a third time when he spent 41 days imprisoned before his mother posted bail. After serving his time in jail, he attended night school and eventually became a radio intern.
In the late 1990s he was appointed as a ‘second mic’ to radio host Wendy, Williams and then came up with a stage name ‘Charlamagne Tha God’, based on Charlemagne (often referred to as Charles the Great) who was known as the ‘Father of Europe’, while also resembling Lenard’s drug dealing pseudonym ‘Charles’ – he added ‘Tha God’ because ‘it sounded cool’. Charlamagne Tha God built a name for himself in the radio industry for his upfront approach to questioning his guests, and came into the limelight in 2008 when he launched his own syndicated radio show “The Breakfast Club”, which is airing on WWPR-FM and which besides him, is co-hosted by Angela Yee and DJ Envy.
Besides radio, he has appeared on television as well. Between November 2011 and March 2015, he appeared in MTV2’s comedy TV show “Guy Code”, while in 2016 he worked on his own television talk show entitled “Uncommon Sense with Charlamagne”. Additionally, he tried his luck as an actor, and appeared in a couple of episodes of “Mumbai Chopra: Misadventures of an It Girl”, and “Empire” TV series in 2014, while in 2017 he made his debut big screen appearance in the comedy movie “Bodied”. His latest acting engagement was an appearance in the 2018 musical comedy film “The After Party”.
Charlamagne Tha God is also known as an author – his debut book entitled “Black Privilege: Opportunity Comes to Those Who Create It” was released in 2017, and was described as ‘a street-smart self-help guide’ which peaked at No. 6 of the New York Times’ best-selling hardback non-fiction books chart. His second book – ” Shook One: Anxiety Playing Tricks on Me” – hit the shelves in October 2018.
