Star Fired For Shocking Remarks

by: Mark Lelinwalla

“Yes, I disrespect your seed,” Star said live on the air about Envy’s daughter. ”If you didn’t hear me, I said I would like to do an R. Kelly on your seed. On your little baby girl. right "Where does this kid go to school? I got 500 bucks for that information. Oh, yes, I'll come for your kids." When he was a host for rival New York City radio station Hot 97, Star drew heat for playing a skit which included sound effects of a plane crashing and people screaming, shortly after R&B singer Aaliyah died in a plane crash. Troi "Star" Torain's latest controversial remarks forced Power 105 to fire the outspoken radio host. “Power 105 finds recent remarks broadcast by Troi Torain of the Star & Buc Wild Morning Show to be wholly unacceptable,” Rob Williams, the marketing manager for Clear Channel, told the New York Daily News on Wednesday. “As of late this afternoon, he is no longer with Power 105.1 or Clear Channel Radio. We sincerely apologize to those who may have been offended by his remarks.”

In related news, Miss Jones from Hot 97's Miss Jones Morning Show, said this morning (May 11) that she'd given DJ Envy the day off to spend with his family since he'd been through a lot the past few days, presumably referring to the comments Star had made about his daughter.
