*Charlamagne Tha God criticized rapper Plies for suggesting that Vice President Kamala Harris doesn’t need to explain her policies to Black voters.
The popular radio host disagreed with Piles’ opinion on the matter, stating it’s wrong to tell Black people to “just settle” for “whatever the candidate is giving you” without holding them accountable, Fox News reports.
“I don’t understand Plies or any Black person for that matter, telling Black people to ‘just settle.’ ‘Just accept whatever the candidate is giving you. Don’t ask questions, just vote. They don’t have to explain anything to us.’ No,” Charlamagne said on Monday’s “The Breakfast Club.”
Plies slammed Black voters in a profane rant for criticizing Harris’ record in office.
“Stop asking” a “Black woman to explain theirself to you, or explain theirself to y’all,” he said in the video. “Y’all cool with a White man not explaining himself” Piles continued, referring to Donald Trump.

“Plies is absolutely, positively wrong,” Charlamagne responded on The Breakfast Club. “If people are asking questions, that’s great.”
He added, “I don’t even know why Plies is making this a Black woman vs. Black men thing. This isn’t about Black men and Black women. It’s about elected officials and potential voters,” Charlamagne continued.
“The whole point of the campaign season is for candidates to go out there and explain to the American people why they should be the one in charge of this country,” he said. “Votes are earned, not given. And they are earned by you going out there and explaining yourself.”
We reported earlier that Harris has faced criticism for her reluctance to speak unscripted and her campaign’s failure to publish an official policy platform on her website.
“By the way, she knows that,” Charlamagne stated. This isn’t the vice president’s first rodeo,” he said, referring to her record as attorney general and as a senator. “Plies is a billion percent wrong”
Charlamagne emphasized that addressing voters’ questions is “the essence of campaigning.
