So for months, Charlamagne has been pushing a lie that Drake pays his fans to push narratives meanwhile he gets paid by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation? Charlamagne has been fear mongering and making accusations about Drake & Stake meanwhile he worked as a Roc Nation employee to obtain a gambling license? Nah, they got it.
Roc Nation promoter/sponsor Charlamagne Tha God was caught lying to Andrew Schulz about his Roc Nation ties
Charlamagne was just exposed for being listed as a Promoter/Sponsor for Roc Nation under the official New York State Gaming Commission disclosure form.
A promoter/sponsor in gaming license bids is someone who “aids or assists the Applicant’s efforts to obtain a License” — meaning McKelvey allegedly had a direct financial stake in whether the project succeeded.
On August 13, 2025, he testified at the Community Advisory Committee hearing advocating for approval. He then used The Breakfast Club — broadcast on iHeartMedia’s federally-licensed radio station WWPR-FM to 8 million daily listeners across 100+ markets — to promote the Caesars Times Square casino to his audience. He framed his support around community mental health services and used Roc Nation’s credibility, to position himself as guy who cared. He never got on his radio show and publicly disclosed that he was listed as a promoter/sponsor under ROC Nation and never disclosed that he had an alleged personal profit motive.
@AkademiksTV He should be fired. The conflict of interest goes further than just the casino. Think about it, if he is being paid by R oc Nation, can’t he influence musical decisions, songs, artist who use The Breakfast Club platform, etc. How is this not some form of payola?
Akademiks was HEARTBROKEN after finding out Lenard McKelvey was officially listed as a Promoter/Sponsor under Roc Nation (540 West 26th Street, Jay-Z’s corporate headquarters in Chelsea) in the Caesars Palace Times Square gaming application filed with New York State. 💔

Olivia fans were calling Nicki homophobic for just saying “ain’t nothing wrong in being a boy” just for their favourite to hang out with an open homophobe.
But the cancel culture won’t affect this white woman like it does a black woman .
