Charlamagne Tha God had a few things to get off his chest after seeing reports stating Jada Pinkett Smith’s memoir was a “flop.”
In a report by the Daily Mail yesterday, it was reported that Jada Pinkett’s book ‘Worthy’ was “performing poorly on some major book bestseller lists.” News break also shared a report that stated her book was on Amazon’s main bestsellers list and Worthy had only “plummeted to just number 81.” Well the Breakfast Club host did some research of his own and took to his Instagram to call cap on Jada Pinkett’s book being a flop. “I truly don’t know what’s happening in media anymore,” Charlamagne began saying.

“As you can see #Worthy debuted at Number 3 on the @nytimes best sellers list which is HUGE, but when you swipe left you see headlines saying the book is a Flop!!! How is a book debuting at Number 3 on The NY Times best sellers list considered a flop?? One headline said it barely cracked the top ten??? 🤔 I’m truly confused by this. It’s a good thing Halloween is right around the corner because we are truly in some spooky times. NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE TRUTH WHEN THE LIE IS MORE ENTERTAINING, but always remember ‘Truth will always be truth, regardless of lack of understanding, disbelief or ignorance.’”
As we previously reported, Jada Pinkett Smith released her new memoir last Tuesday and dropped some bombshells on the whole world. It was revealed last week that her and Will Smith have been separated for seven years but according Jada the two are focusing on getting their marriage back on track.
Will Smith broke his silence about everything that was being said in the media and he sent an email to The New York Times! The actor admitted that the book woke him up, noting the actress had “lived a life more on the edge than he’d realized, and she is more resilient, clever and compassionate than he’d understood.”
“When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in, and you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties,” the Oscar winner wrote.
During Pinkett Smith’s appearance on the “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” podcast, the host also read a letter to her written by Smith.
“I applaud and honor you,” Shetty read the letter in a clip shared by The Associated Press on TikTok and YouTube. “If I had read this book 30 years ago, I definitely would’ve hugged you more.”
“I’ll start now – Welcome to the Authors Club,” the letter continued. “I love you endlessly. Now go get some Merlot and take a rest.”
