Hot 97 Ends ‘Ebro In The Morning’ After 13 Years as Hosts Shift to New YouTube Show

Ebro attributes the move to his progressive commentary plus ownership’s casino interests, a claim Hot 97 has not confirmed.

Overview

  • Ebro Darden said the show aired its final broadcast on Dec. 12, closing a run that began in 2012 with Darden, Peter Rosenberg and Laura Stylez.
  • Hot 97 has not provided an official explanation for the cancellation, while Darden publicly alleged corporate and political motives tied to his commentary.
  • The trio is directing listeners to a new online venture, sharing a YouTube link for The Ebro Laura Rosenberg Show.
  • Laura Stylez said they had been broadcasting remotely to avoid alleged roaches and people sleeping in hallways at the studio, though NYC housing records show no complaints or violations at the building in the past two years.
  • Funkmaster Flex clarified he only filled in for one morning as reactions rolled in across hip-hop media, including a hatchet emoji from Drake on Darden’s video.
