Charlamagne Tha God Addresses Backlash About The Breakfast Club Streaming On Netflix

Charlamagne Tha God recently responded to criticism about The Breakfast Club being added to Netflix while speaking on an episode of The Brilliant Idiots podcast. During the discussion, he broke down how the partnership actually works and suggested that much of the negativity comes from double standards.

"The funny thing to me is like, people will be like, 'I'm not watching Breakfast Club on Netflix, but then you constantly tweeting about the America's Next Top Model doc, you constantly tweeting about Stranger Things, you constantly tweeting about the Diddy doc," he said. "A lot of it is just narrative. Somebody will get online, create a narrative, put something in somebody's head, and then everybody will run with it." He also mentioned Netflix viewing statistics and said he would openly admit it if the decision ended up hurting the show.

Even with Charlamagne defending the move, many users online continue to question the idea. "Nobody turning on Netflix to listen to radio shows or podcasts come on bruh," one person wrote under a DJ Akademiks post. Another commenter said: "Did he really just compare a raido show to stranger things.." Someone else shared: "I watch a lot of my breakfast club interviews on the go or at work during down time or listen/watch on long drives Via YouTube app on my phone. Ppl use different apps for different things. I’m not watching Netflix on my phone and I’m not watching radio interviews on my TV…"

When Did "The Breakfast Club" Come To Netflix?

Netflix originally revealed back in December that The Breakfast Club would be joining its platform. The show became part of a larger rollout of iHeartRadio content that also included Dear Chelsea, Bobby Bones Presents: The Bobbycast, My Favorite Murder, among others. Charlamagne later shared his reaction on Instagram, writing: "9 Year that Equals Completion. Snake Year that Equals Shedding. Let’s Try This New Skin. WE TRULY THANK GOD FOR IT ALL!!!"
