Charlamagne Tha God is urging fans to take a breath concerning the recent pusha news. Names like Pusha T, Jay-Z, and Eminem appeared in the latest Jeffrey Epstein files. Charlamagne believes many people are rushing to judgment without checking the facts. He questioned what people hate more: reading or accountability, as reported by HotNewHipHop.
What Happened
On Sunday, the Justice Department dropped a large volume of documents related to the Epstein investigation. Charlamagne Tha God commented on the viral reaction to these files. He specifically called out “unserious journalists” and “unserious people” for spreading the story. Charlamagne stated he doesn’t understand why people are so quick to tear down artists. This happens without doing a simple bit of research.
The Epstein Files Details
Charlamagne explained that the Epstein Files Transparency Act released all files. This included documents with little to no credibility. Crisis intake reports, often from anonymous tips, became public. This is why the names of Pusha T, Eminem, and Jay-Z showed up. Charlamagne noted he saw more reports about Pusha T and Jay-Z than Eminem. He feels hip-hop fans often tear down their own. He believes Eminem is one of them.
Lack of Evidence
Charlamagne highlighted that mentions of these artists did not come from Epstein’s records. They also weren’t from law enforcement reports. These stories originated from public hotline submissions. These were tips from random people in 2019. Charlamagne stressed these aren’t backed by court findings, indictments, or confirmed evidence. He read the reports and found them nonsensical. For instance, he questioned what Jay-Z would be doing with Harvey Weinstein and William Barr in 1996. That was the year Jay-Z’s first album came out.
Pusha T and Eminem Mentions
Moving to Pusha T and Eminem, Charlamagne shared more details. He questioned if Pusha T would really have been hanging with Harvey Weinstein in 2007. He also found the Eminem mention questionable. The woman described herself as weighing 300 pounds in the report. Charlamagne emphasized these were her words, not his. He reiterated that these were public hotline submissions and not confirmed facts
