Hot 97 Radio DJ Mister Cee Resigns on Air
DJ Mister Cee a long time radio DJ from Hot 97 has resigned today live over the airwaves.
Hot 97 star DJ Calvin “Mister Cee” Lebrun abruptly resigned from the hip-hop radio station Wednesday during his morning show several hours after a video was posted of him allegedly soliciting sex from a popular cross-dressing video-blogger named Bimbo Winehouse.
“The day has finally come for Mr. Cee to move on,” the long-time radio personality said. Live on Hot 97 today 9/11/2013.
“It is not a mystery that the past two years I’ve been through a lot,” said Mister Cee on the air Wednesday when announcing his resignation.
“When you dealing with corporate America, and you dealing with a station you love as much as I love this station, you don’t want to put them through this … I’ve been thinking about this day for a long time. I never want to be in a situation where I’m pushed out. I’ve been at this station for 20 years, since 1993. If I want to go out, allow me to say I’m going out. And the station is allowing me to have that, and I appreciate that,” he said.
“Ain’t nobody perfect man,” he said. “And I’m far from perfect. I’ve made my mistakes, but when it affects the people that you love, the people that you come up with … I’m just gonna move on.”
“Due to some personal circumstances that have become public, after 20 years of service, Mr Cee has chosen to resign. We feel that this is in the best interest of both HOT 97 and Cee’s personal well-being. While we do not endorse the alleged activities, he is clearly facing a personal dilemma that is for him and only him to comment on. We are saddened by his departure; his contributions here at HOT 97 were great and we know him as a friend, a caring individual and significant hip hop advocate. We wish Mr Cee the best and will always consider him a family member of HOT 97. Moments ago, he officially signed off, on the air and will finish out his last show today on September 11, 2013, an already sad day for New York City.” Says – Alexandra Cameron, SVP/General Manager of HOT97 –
“It’s not a joke, today is my last day on Hot 97. I’m doing what I feel is right for the betterment of the station,” said Mister Cee during his afternoon mixshow.
