Controversies
Jessica Gadsden has been drawn into some controversies, thanks to her outspoken husband. During an interview on the Brilliant Idiots Podcast in 2017, Charlamagne tha God seemed to suggest that his first sexual encounter with his wife was technically rape.

Jessica Gadsden, however, called into The Breakfast Club to provide explanations. She stated that their first sexual encounter could not be considered as rape because, even though they were both drunk, they were coherent and knew what they were doing.
