Video After The Jump
Stacey Dash grabbed headlines earlier this year after she said that BET and Black History Month should be done away with, as she believes "we should either have segregation or integration." We got Charlamagne's thoughts on the situation during a recent sit-down, and the famed radio host told us that while he still thinks Stacey is a beautiful woman, he added that she should be seen and not heard.
During the conversation Charlamagne also specifically addressed Stacey's comment about doing away with BET, as he stated that no one would know the actress if it weren't for BET and other Black media outlets. Moving along, Charlamagne voiced his displeasure with Joseph Fiennes, a White actor, playing Michael Jackson in an upcoming movie.
The Breakfast Club host explained that despite Michael lightening his skin in later years, he was still an African American man and Charlamagne thinks Jackson should be played by a Black man.
Hit the video below to hear the rest of our interview with Charlamagne, including his disagreement with DJ Vlad on Michael Jackson's best album.

Video After The Jump
Conspiracy theorists that believe The Illuminati is trying to destroy Katt Williams can sit y'all asses down now. Because after watching this video it's evident he's on his own mission to self destruction.
The talented, but troubled comedian just took the "L" of 2016.
Katt sucker punched a kid that doesn't look older than 15 in the face and still lost the fight.
The 5'5" Friday After Next star justified his actions by saying, "we the same size." Watch the shenanigans below.
**UPDATE**
The Atlanta Police Department are investigating whether Katt Williams violated the terms of his bond in a previous case by punching a child in an Atlanta apartment complex where he was handing out money.
As we previously reported, Williams was arrested on Tuesday, March 8, by deputies with the Hall County Sheriff's Department and charged with aggravated assault, terroristic threats, and false imprisonment. He allegedly ordered a woman named Tatiana Smith to shave his bodyguard, Corey Dixon, and hit him with a bat during a late February attack at Williams' GaInesville, Georgia home. The comedian is also accused of threatening to kill Dixon.
The comedian is also out on bond for an alleged attack on a pool store clerk in Gainesville on February 29. He's charged with battery in that case.
A stipulation of bond is that Williams stay out of trouble.
TMZ reports that police are reviewing his cases to determine if he violated by fighting a minor and whether bail should be revoked.

— Statik Selektah (@StatikSelekt) March 23, 2016
Rest in peace Phife.
**UPDATE**
The family of Phife Dawg have released a statement confirming that he passed away from diabetes. In 2008, he had a kidney transplant after renal failure due to diabetes complications.
Five years later, Phife, was back on dialysis, according to Diabetes Forecast.
“I haven’t really spoken about being on dialysis again and needing another kidney,” he said during a 2013 interview with Diabetes Forecast. “It’s a strain on me as far as going where I want to go, doing what I want to do. When I was on dialysis the first time, my stepson was playing basketball… . I couldn’t practice with him. I wanted to go out and run with him and things of that nature, but I didn’t feel good.”
His family issued the following statement on his passing.
“We regret to share the news that on Tuesday March 22nd, 2016, Malik has passed away due to complications resulting from diabetes.
Malik was our loving husband, father, brother and friend. We love him dearly. How he impacted all our lives will never be forgotten. His love for music and sports was only surpassed by his love of God and family.”
Dion Liverpool, his manager, adds, “While I mourn the loss of my best friend and brother, I also will celebrate his incredible life and contribution to many people’s ears across the world. Even with all his success, I have never met a person as humble as he. He taught me that maintaining a positive attitude and outlook can conquer anything. Now my brother is resting in greatness. I’m honored to have crossed paths with him. Riddim Kidz 4eva.”
The family asks that their privacy be respected at this difficult time.

2 Chainz’ headlining performance at The FADER FORT Presented By Converse was tragically cut off by thunderstorms this past Friday. But ahead of his scheduled set, he got to hang out backstage with fellow FADER cover alum Kehlani. They shared a joint of kush and compared sneakers—serendipitously, he was wearing one red and one blue, and hers had matching red and blue heel loops. Then they talked, about stick and poke tattoos, the pressure of putting out an album dropping a hit mixtape, tooting your own horn, and why 2 Chainz sleeps in his watch.
