During a recent episode of the 7PM in Brooklyn podcast, Charlamagne Tha God joined Carmelo Anthony and comedian The Kid Mero for an in-depth conversation. Charlamagne opened up about his new book, Get Honest or Die Lying, detailing how a transformative ayahuasca retreat served as its inspiration. “Back in February, I was on an ayahuasca retreat, and it was the first time I did it. It was a three-day retreat and during the second night, it hit me: stop lying to yourself and others,” Charlamagne shared. He elaborated on how the retreat prompted him to embrace his authentic self and discard societal masks. This personal revelation formed the cornerstone of his book, which challenges readers to live with honesty and integrity.

In a nod to the influential rapper, Charlamagne Tha God used a similar title to reflect the theme of confronting personal truths. “When that revelation came to me, that’s when I came up with ‘Get Honest or Die Lying’ – paying homage to 50 Cent,” he explained. The connection between the two projects highlights Charlamagne’s respect for 50 Cent and his impact on his creative process.
