*Charlamagne tha God welcomed his third daughter in September with wife Jessica Gadsden, and “The Breakfast Club” co-host says being the father of all girls brings a new perspective on how he digests the news.
“When I see a school shooting, when I hear about women getting abused, I think about all of that because I’ve got three little girls,” the radio personality said in an episode of “The Dr. Oz Show” that will air Wednesday. “So, I don’t know if that’s something that’s supposed to go away.”
Charlamagne, 40, said when it comes to his kids, he’s ready to “micromanage” their every move.

“You got to micromanage your situation when it comes to your kids, right?”
During his conversation with Dr. Oz, the NY Times bestselling author addressed his teenage years as a drug dealer, sharing that he “did a lot of bad in the hood.”
“That’s why I like to pay it forward a lot,” he said. “That’s why I do things like book bag giveaways in the summer and turkey drives during Thanksgiving. I just try to help people as much as I can because of all the hell I caused in the hood, I want to bring some good to the hood now.”
Last week, Charlamagne canceled a scheduled TimesTalk discussion about mental health with Kanye West.
“Normalizing being mentally healthy is a conversation that I really wanted to have with Kanye West because he’s been so vocal about his own mental health struggles,” he wrote on Instagram last week.
“Unfortunately I think to have that conversation with him right now would not be productive and a total distraction from the point of the convo which is to eradicate the stigma of mental health especially in the black community.”
