By: Kira Demund, contributing intern (@kiracarinaa) Love him or hate him, Charlamagne Tha God tells it like it is. He’s upfront, unapologetic, and not afraid to address the elephant in the room. He’s been fired from radio four times and not to mention did time in the penitentiary. Yet, his gratitude towards God (whom he thanks every morning) and appreciation for life itself goes unquestioned. His work ethic goes to show: it pays to be yourself, literally. Although he’s infamous for hurting feelings, he’s also good for dropping gems here and there. These quotes on the list will motivate you to keep going when you feel like giving up. 10. “I’ve been fired 4x and it’s worth it to be myself.” Source: Twitter 9. “You can’t solve a problem with the same mindset that created it” Source: Power 105.1 8. “If you really on your grind, you don’t have to announce it.
