Though Cee didn’t spell out the details, it was clear that he was addressing the much publicized prostitution scandals.
“Everybody knows I love doing this radio thing. I’ve been at Hot 97 since 1993 and I live, breathe, sleep radio. The last thing that I wanna do is hurt the Hot 97 family, so I have decided — not Ebro, not management, nobody, but me Mister Cee — I have decided that it’s time for me to move on and it’s time for me to take time out to take care of myself.”
“There are a lot of situations where when I try to do what I think is the right thing, a setback happens, and the last thing I wanna do is hurt this station, so today is my last day on Hot 97.”
“I am good, I am safe, I am happy, I am blessed, but in reality I knew that this day would come. Whether it was because of the mistakes I’ve made in the past or whether it was just time for me to move on, I knew that at some point, this day was going to come, and so the day has finally come where Mister Cee has to move on. It comes a time when you have to be a realist and understand that what do you affects others, and you don’t wanna hurt the people that you love and I love this station. I love Hot 97,” he said before getting choked up and quickly cutting to Jay Z.
