A couple of days ago, I was talking to a friend of mine and we were discussing Charles Hamilton's noticeable absence from hip-hop. In the past, Charles was dropping mix tapes and new songs on an almost weekly basis. However, in recent months Charles Hamilton, has not released any music, updated his blog or his Twitter. Leaving many fans wondering about his whereabouts. About a day after this conversation, Rap Radar revealed that the artist had been dropped from his contract with Interscope. The good folks over at KarenCivil.Com cooked up a great Vh1 Behind The Music-esque article chronicling the personal and professional ups and downs which led to "The Rise & Fall Of Charles Hamilton". Below is a snippett of the aritcle:...Charles was finding success in the public eye, things were not as progressive behind closed doors. Disagreements with his Demevolist management team were a frequent occurrence. Before long, Hamilton would cut all ties with them, his Violator affiliation and any form of management all together. At this point, his mindstate was geared towards taking steps he thought were best for his career, not what anyone else said or mentioned.In the midst of the turmoil, he would begin his public relationship with Briana Latrise, the step-daughter of R&B icon, Mary J. Blige. The move stunned fans because, via his blog on several occasions, Hamilton would constantly document his love for pop star, Rihanna. Fact is, Hamilton never knew Rihanna, let alone be romantically linked to her. Rihanna was, in fact, “code” for Briana. Things would continue to spiral downhill after a much publicized beef with Soulja Boy did not turn out in his favor. However, one of the most crushing blows to his public image was a YouTube video of Briana punching him in the face after he jokingly remarked on her receiving an abortion.
