Burying the Hatchet?: Charlamagne Tha God Reaches Out to Wendy Williams, Schedules Friendly Outing

Wendy Williams‘ studio audience recently found out that she might be burying her longtime feud with Charlamagne Tha God. The two used to work together on the radio prior to “The Wendy Williams Show” but had a falling-out years ago.

On Wednesday’s episode, the talk show host said she spoke to Charlamagne after he phoned her. In fact, Williams admitted that her phone has been lighting up with several invitations recently.

Last week, the 54-year-old filed for divorce from Kevin Hunter, her husband of over 20 years, after he was accused of fathering the child of his alleged mistress Sharina Hudson.

But before Charlamagne phoned Williams, DJ Boof, the person who plays music to her studio audience, called and extended a dinner invitation.

“I was minding my own business last night, reading my book — you know, I love to read — and all of a sudden my cellphone rings,” said Williams.
“[DJ Boof was] asking me out for dinner, and just at that time I got a knock on my door. I was like, ‘Boof or food?’”

The knock was actually from a food delivery person, but Williams told Boof she’d have dinner with him. “I will see you over the weekend,” she told him. “Pick me up on time.”

But that wasn’t the last phone call or dinner invitation Williams received that night, because soon after a certain “Breakfast Club” host called.

“It wasn’t Boof, it was Charlamagne,” she revealed, which got a huge cheer from the audience. “Charlamagne wanted to take me for dinner. So he says the night and he says the time, and I said I can’t go because I’m going out with Boof for dinner.”

Charlamagne then said that since he knows Boof they’ll both take Williams out, which she agreed to.

Besides “The Breakfast Club” host being Williams’ former sidekick on her New York radio show “The Wendy Williams Experience,” he’s also the one who introduced her ex to Hudson.

Charlamagne also said that he fell out with Williams because Hunter became upset with him for introducing Hudson to one of his friends.

And in February, Charlamagne called Williams’ estranged husband “a terrible human being” and urged his former co-host to leave him before he harms her further.

That’s because Hunter has also been accused of abusing Williams throughout their marriage.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
