Here's an interview with Charlamagne Tha God talking about his married life and wife:
The couple barely makes public appearances, but they were spotted out in NYC on March 2018. Charlamagne and his fitness instructor wife of 4 years have kept their personal life behind the scenes.
He explained the reason to keep his wife and kids out of social media:
"First of all, I’m not raising my kids via social media. I never felt like that was a place for my family to be. I don’t knock anyone who does it, but I don’t want my family on Facebook or Twitter. That’s something I chose not to do. Some of my homies have told me that they wish they would have listened to me and not put their kids on social media because now when they’re out in the streets, strangers recognize their kids."
"We live in a creepy world where people want to take photos with celebrities family members and that doesn’t make sense to me. I see girls taking pics with Drake’s father and that’s just weird to me."
We can say they have a wonderful bonding but they faced some troubles in their relationship in the past. During an interview, The Breakfast Club co-host admitted that he raped his wife the very first time they had sex.

He said,
"I’m married to my wife. Me and my wife dated for a whole year, she would not give me no pussy. Me and my wife hung out one Saturday night and she got sloppy drunk and passed out in my momma’s house and I got that pussy. She was f–king me back, and all that, but she was really drunk. I asked her yesterday, ‘Did I rape you the first time we ever had sex?’ And she goes, ‘I mean in hindsight, yeah.'"

Charlamagne Tha God's Promising Career And Controversy
As a teenager, he began selling drugs and was arrested for possession of cocaine and marijuana twice in a row.
According to his father, Larry Thomas McKelvey, he was 'a bad kid on the streets of Moncks Corner, S.C.'
Larry Thomas said,
"I had to bust him upside his head a lot of times to get him back on the right track. He got in with the wrong crowd and did a lot of crazy stuff."
He arrested for the third time for witnessing a shooting from the back seat of a car. He explained the scenario,
"I was in the back seat of a car and a shooting happened, and so all of us ended up going to jail for it."
His father said,
"The third time he got locked up, I let him sit there for approximately 41 days. That’s when he called my wife and asked her to please get him out of jail. That’s when I decided ‘Enough is enough. I’ll give him another chance."
After the release, he began attending night school and that's how he got a positive turn in his career. Soon, he received an opportunity to work as a radio intern.
He began hosting The Breakfast Club in 2010 on WWPR-FM in New York City, New York. During his career in the show, he has mentioned that he's highly inspired by TV host and actress Wendy Williams.
