Deadline reported, a New York Times-sponsored public conversation between radio host Charlamagne Tha God and Kanye West about mental health in the black community has been canceled. Charlamagne took it to Instagram to explain that the event would have been “a total distraction.”
“Normalizing being mentally healthy is a conversation that I really wanted to have with Kanye because he’s been so vocal about his own mental health struggles,” he wrote. “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.”
