Did This Godfrey Response Just Ruin His Career?

How do you feel about Karen Hunter’s what she’s asking, I think. >> I got fired by her. What’s the big >> She fired him. She fired me. So, what? >> I know, but she says that you were like “Listen, I’ve watched you evolve. >> Tell me what she said. Get to it. Okay, she said you were extremely um disrespectful to her. And so >> How? How? >> And she said you called her a bitch.

"
"

>> I called her a bitch after she talked shit about me. >>  >> You understand? >> Okay. >> So, so get the whole story. Okay? Cuz I’m >> Why is it so See, look at how aggressive he is. You sound real mad aggressive, like he’s really pissed off. And like I’m not understanding where the energy’s coming from.

Like you took the phone call, you knew what she wanted to talk about. And then you offended that she called up to talk about the shit that you knew she was going to talk about. I don’t get it. >> I First of all, I’m not trying to be mad at you, but I’ve I Hold on. I’ve moved on. I never mentioned Karen.

So people were telling me they were coming at me like people were sending me messages going Karen is dogging you on her show, and I was like, “Well, she fired me, why?” And and I didn’t even answer. I just kept it moving about my business. And she was insulting me cuz I know people that are loyal that was telling me at >> Cuz see Godfrey’s not keeping it totally 100. Somebody’s dogging you out.

Talking smack about you. They already fired you. She old school news. I don’t feel like addressing it. I got other things to do. You know, instead of even addressing it cuz you don’t want to. All right, I’m I’m going to try to get past this. We’re going to get past the Karen Hunter stuff. >> I mean, I had the proof of it, you know, but um her her saying that shit, look at her now.

Now she wants to jump on David I Ayolo cuz nothing else to talk about. So she going to jump on my podcast, which is a dope ass podcast. And by the way, David Ayolo has apologized, but British black people do not have a perspective of American blacks. But the fact is the fact is that >> Ah, there it is. Why didn’t you say that shit to his face when you had him on the podcast? Could have checked him right then and there, and then this is not a problem.

This hasn’t happened. You didn’t have to address it on the show cuz you addressed it in real time. And instead of Godfrey admitting, “Yeah, you know what? I should have addressed that shit.” Instead of Don C sitting here and and telling the truth. Instead of Akim, I guess I think that’s his name. All these people You got two people on the panel right there with them.

They know what it is, don’t they? And if they don’t know what it is, what good are they? But if you you know, now you say these things. That’s what you should have said at the time, Godfrey. But, see, when you are a person that’s playing roles, when you’re somebody who’s pandering and pivoting and trying to play politics, you’re going to forget to do that sometimes.

Sometimes you’re going to be in one mode trying to play one role, and you’re going to forget to play all sides. And that’s why it’s simplicity when you’re just all rocking for one thing. And that for me is Black America. And when I’m on that, and I say locked in, I ain’t got to worry cuz I’m already focused on defending, addressing, and supporting one issue.

>>  >> One people. And that’s why I have It’s an advantage to be that way. But, when you’re Godfrey, you’re trying to keep all the balls in the air, then this is what happens. So, he just admitted the truth. He said David didn’t have no business coming out his mouth about Black Americans.

He has a warped view of Black Americans, and this is all David’s fault. But, it’s your fault, too, Godfrey, because you did not say these things in your pod. >> We These mistakes need to happen, so we can talk about it. So, we can have people going, “Damn, I fucked up.” I think David probably didn’t mean it that way, but the British black experience is so different than the Black American experience.

He probably was like, “No, it’s a little subservient.” They don’t know any better. A lot of them just just don’t know any better. >> No, I’m >> You know, and I think it’s good that people Listen, hold on. >> You’re still defending him. You’re still defending him. Hold on, my bad. I want to hear what she has to say. I love I love to come back to this.

But, yeah, he’s still defending David. So, he don’t feel that David should have had to apologize, either. Cuz he’s still defending it. Oh, he didn’t know any better. He didn’t mean anything by it. Why are you guys so picky. >> mean it that way, but the British black experience is so different than the black American experience.

He probably was like, “No, it’s a little subservient.” They don’t know any better. A lot of them just just don’t know any better. >> No, I’m >> You know, and I think it’s good that people could Listen, hold up. >> sounded like some white people shit. I’m sorry. >> What you say? >> It was wack, but I said I’m sorry, but it definitely sounded like some white people shit, but you know, I get it.

>> But what what what But what I’m saying is it’s Yeah, that’s what Where do you think they he They’re colonized. It’s It’s colonial mentality. That’s white people shit. That’s what I’m trying to say. >> people were responding because we appreciate the fact that, you know, although your heritage is Nigerian, listen, I’ve been through all the arguments with an ex-boyfriend, Nigerian, the whole nine, so I understand.

>> Yeah, but I grew up First of all, I grew up in Chicago. >> We were we were really surprised by your reaction. >> You know, I don’t give a fuck what y’all were thinking cuz I did not I didn’t call I didn’t make him say that. >> I didn’t say it. >> You didn’t check your guest. When your guest says some offensive shit about black Americans, that’s your job as a host to do that. You or Akbar.

So, you both fell down on your job. You got comfortable. It showed in the podcast, and some people had an issue with it. A lot of people had an issue with it, okay? So, it it is what it is. And if you ain’t going to own up to that, if you’re going to say, “Hey, if I could have done that one over, I’d have done it a little bit different, would have addressed it right then, but it got by me, and I wasn’t paying attention, or it got by me, and I just wasn’t considering all things at that moment in time.

” But this is how I really feel. This is really me, and yo, you know, we it is what it is. But to be like, “I don’t give a damn what you think.” And all that air, that’s somebody, you know, that says a lot about where are. And that says a lot about how you respect your audience. And it’s a lack of respect.

That’s all I’m saying. That’s how it comes across. >> make him say that. So, fuck all that cuz you all sit there and try to pick at the smallest shit waiting for us to fuck up. >> Fam, nobody waits for you to fuck up. You fuck up and then they say something. That’s what we do in this business. Don’t you do the same thing? Somebody fucks up.

It sound like you’re sitting around waiting to hear what the guy say the wrong thing. You gave people the raw the red meat to go after. You did this. In fact In fact, I’m going to I’m going to put it this way. It’s all your fault. Yeah, I’m going to leave this all at your your feet. Cuz it’s all on you. Akbar, don’t know. Akbar been in this business working with black Americans.

If you know black Americans so badly, how is you not know black Americans were going to have a problem with what they would say? >> First of all that, me and Akbar, Akbar grew up in Crenshaw. Grew up in Crenshaw, all right? I grew up in Chicago, some of the blackest cities around. >> For the record, Godfrey, no one cares where you grew up.

No one cares where Akbar grew up. What we care about is what comes out your mouth. What we care about is you fucked up. All right? That’s it. And if you grew up around black Americans and you know it so much, why didn’t you check your boy? Why didn’t you check your boy? Since you say he can’t help himself, he’s a black he’s a black Brits.

Why is he speaking on people he don’t know nothing about? And why are you, if you know so much, why are you allowing him to do it? And then why are you doubling and tripling down on it and acting like it’s our fault, we’re just too sensitive. If you know how black people are. We respect for about our stuff and we need you to put some respect on that name.

And when you don’t do that in mixed company, Godfrey. It makes us feel like you’ve been phony the whole time. Yeah, it feels like it was a stick. That it was a impersonation, that it was a bit. And nobody wants to feel taken advantage of. Now, if you can’t understand that, that’s on you. But that’s a very common thing. It’s a human It’s a human trait for people to have a certain amount of bitterness towards feeling like they’re being played or taken advantage of.

And that’s how people feel about you now because when you got around your African friends, you did the you did the worst thing uh possible. You forgot about us. And that’s the whole beef. That’s the whole knock on that diaspora, the pan-Africanists, and and uh and in that’s you know, intercontinental uh Africans um that they really uh they have their own thing, and that’s and they only rock with us if it benefits their pockets.

>> Chicago’s the most segregated city in this country. So, I know what black Americans are like because I was stopped by cops, harassed by cops, called the whole nine. Okay, so I’m a little bit different, but >> Hey, being black is not just being harassed by cops. It’s being socialized enough in the black experience to know, “Uh-oh, black people ain’t going to like this.

” I mean, folks, did y’all remember what Danny David Aluwalo Y’all remember what David said? Let me play this. Just so people remember how obvious this wasn’t going to go well. >> the night If you take the Nigerian accent like this, and you slow it down, you put a lot of slavery in there. >> Facts. >> And then you start to uh uh put a little bit of subservience in it, mhm, this is what starts to happen >> Yeah.

>> Nigerian accent. >> Man. >> It start It It It goes >> This because lit- literally, if you’re down here and you start to speed it up, and then you start to take all the thing out of it, then before you know it you’re talking >> So basically this this dude was saying black people be doing a separate fashion. Then if you want to play like a black person, you got to act like a sellout of Sambo.

Yeah, they got to be subservient, you know, uneducated, that’s how you that’s how you put on your blackface. And Godfrey, who says he knows black people so much, so well, he gets up in his chest and angry. He didn’t think about how this is going to come across to a black audience. >> That show what what our show is it’s it’s just 9 10 months.

We’re doing really well. It’s needed. There’s not going to things will be perfect. So when someone goes, “I didn’t like your reaction.” You know parent first off. And I’m the first person if I fuck up, I’ll go, “Man, my bad.” But David said it. David said it. So to >> You are the host. This is what it is, Sam.

This is the internet. There going to be critics. There going to be some people that thought you did a great job. There going to be some people who didn’t bother. But the people that have a problem with it are going to be loudest. In fact, they’re going to be what we pay attention to. But this is all you. Cuz you didn’t catch it.

Really, you owe David a an apology. Really? Cuz you should have you should have uh protected him by saying it on business would have protected him. It would have allowed him to clear it up. Then he doesn’t have fallout cuz you addressed right then and there. And and uh he didn’t have to retract it later. There are some people that saw that podcast, Godfrey, who ain’t going to mess with his movies ever again.

And you could have prevented that by addressing it when he said it and he could have been like, “Oh man, I don’t mean it like that.” He could have cleaned it up. But since you didn’t do your job, he wasn’t able to do his retraction in real time and caused all this. Yeah. See what I’m saying? Uh-huh. Yeah. You’re welcome.

>> Uh villainize me, it’s bullshit. That’s That’s black shit. Just trying to have a something to bitch about. See, what we’re doing is we’re trying to work out >> This is worse. It gets worse and worse. Now I’m See now Now I’m offended by you, bro. That’s black shit, huh? Just have to have something to bitch about, huh? Yeah.

Yeah. That’s it. That’s it. That’s the Godfrey I knew was in there. Come on. Yeah. You are one of the worst. Inside sad Godfrey, you have a distaste a disdain a bitterness towards black Americans. You are who you complain about. You are who you be checking. When you are checking those people, you checking yourself.

When you are defending black Americans, you’re defending black Americans from a part of yourself. From within you, brother. Cuz that anti-blackness is within you. And you know why I know? Cuz of that comment right there, brother. That comment came from somewhere. You said, “That’s black shit.” Yeah. You You’re contaminated.

So the guy who spent this whole time talking who spends a lot of time a lot of time talking and so-called defending black America is also somebody who has a disdain a distaste for black Americans to a certain degree himself. And nowhere else is that more evident than out of his own mouth on his own podcast. And you can’t blame a co-host.

No one else said it. You said it. You’re on your black shit. >> People are traumatized. Black Americans are traumatized, Caribbeans are traumatized, Africans are traumatized. Everybody’s traumatized. Black women are traumatized, black men are traumatized. So this is all coming from trauma and this should be a therapeutic podcast.

It should be a podcast where we go, “Hey man, we up we got to talk about these things.” But to just go, “I’m disappointed.” None of you is my parent. None of you. Nobody’s perfect talking shit to me. You do a podcast and do better then. But my thing is I’m doing this for the good of all of us to bridge a gap. >> I thought you did your podcast for money, Godfrey, and to help your career.

I know you did it for all of us. Now you’re a sacrificing. You’re sacrificing. Don Lemon’s best friend, that’s what you’re doing? Joy Reid’s buddy-buddy, that’s what you’re doing, sacrificing for us? When you’re kicking it with the Democratic operatives? Don’t get me started, sir. >> You  I’m a tether, I’m a this, all these terms for a bunch of traumatized black folks.

It’s like, first of all IT’S NOT SENSITIVITY. THIS AIN’T SENSITIVITY. OH What you say? ALWAYS, BUT THEN YOU GET ONE LITTLE THING AND YOU GUYS FEEL ALL AS MUCH AS I SPEAK UP FOR BLACK WOMEN. >> I’m up there standing up for you. I’m up there. Nobody else cares about you, doofus, goofy black people. It’s me, Godfrey, in those rooms doing stuff, saying things for you.

It’s never to help myself. It’s never to help me succeed. It it wasn’t for me to build a fan base. It wasn’t for me to benefit. No. I got nothing out of it. >>  >> Godfrey, nobody’s buying it, man. You are not sacrificing your career for black Americans. In fact, this podcast shows probably the reason why you haven’t gotten where you want to get in your career is cuz of your mouth, fam.

And your quick temper, your Nigerian running hot temper, which is on display right now, bro. You your problem, not us. Not cuz you said something about to defend black women at time. >> What do you think that does to me in this business when I’m speaking up for you guys? I speak up for you my time.

Most celebrities in in in in Hollywood DON’T SAY A GOD thing about y’all. And I’m always opening my mouth for you guys. I try my best. But I do one thing, you guys just go off. OH. OH. LOOK >> YEAH, I STAND for you mofos all the time. Yeah, that’s Why would you stand for people that you think are MFs? Why would you Why would you feel that they should be stood up for if you think we are just a bunch of black people doing blackish and some MFs? I would not stand it.

Maybe you do it because it helps your career. Yeah, man. It This is sad. In fact, fam, I mean, in a way I’m kind of disappointed. I mean, I’m glad that you exposed yourself and it gives me an opportunity to do a little victory lap and say, “See, I told you how Godfrey is. I knew that was in there. I could tell it.

” But the other side of me is kind of disappointed because crashing out does not define what you did. You ain’t just crashed out. You obliterated out. I mean You you You did a Paul Walker. Burned beyond recognition. They’re going to need DNA to to to identify the body. That’s how bad you crashed out. You jumped into one of the the volcanoes in Apocalypto.

I mean, you you are gone. There’s nothing The fact that black Americans any black Americans any self-respecting black Americans would continue to consume your content and look at you the same way is a testament to how forgiving we are. Cuz you don’t deserve no forgiveness, man, talking the way you was talking.

You was talking like you you brought and paid for black Americans and they owe you. You sound like an overseer. Not a supporter, not not an ally, not a friend, not a brother, but like a person we indebted to cuz you said some shit on your podcast. Nah. Nah. Hell nah. Hell no. And and to me that’s I mean, you crashed out to a point where I I I think people have not really gave you justice and and I inadequate examination of how bad you did in this podcast.

I mean, it would have been better if you just went out of addressing and just moved on. If you know you were not in a mental place where you could talk rationally and think rationally and if you going to be around Dante and other dude and they not help you instead they pile on and help defend you like that’s helping anything. That didn’t help anything.

That only made it worse. You didn’t check yourself, sir. Check you. Don’t make it about us. This is about you. And like I said it in the beginning, Godfrey, none of this would have happened if you would have checked your boy on your podcast to begin with. You dropped the ball and you should own that and get it over with and move on to the next step.

But instead, you want to fight reality. You can’t it’s like fighting gravity. You ain’t got to believe in gravity, but gravity gravity believes in you. You don’t believe me, step out of plane sometime. All right. Look folks, put in the comment section what you think about this segment. I think Godfrey done did it did it to himself.
