Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

“Kelvin, you must be crazy in love with jail, okay? Trying to steal Beyoncé’s hard drive is literally like trying to steal a beehive full of bees.”
— Charlamagne Tha God [05:01]
“All you had to do was follow the rules of your parole, and you wouldn't be in the situation you in now. But no, instead of being free mingling with all the single ladies, you back in jail, and there is nobody to blame but… but you… You should look in the mirror and say, you know why I'm back in jail? Me, myself, and I. That's all you got in the end.”
— Charlamagne Tha God [05:32]
“See those hard drives with Beyoncé music? Those are irreplaceable, okay? Every single law enforcement official in Atlanta got in formation when they received that call.”
— Charlamagne Tha God [06:01]
“You really thought you was gonna steal five jump drives containing watermark music, some unreleased music footage, plans for Beyoncé's show, future set list, and nobody was gonna ring the alarm.”
