Overview
- Hot 97 ended the 13-year morning program on Dec. 12, and the station has not provided an official reason.
- Ebro Darden, Peter Rosenberg and Laura Stylez relaunched independently as The Ebro, Laura, Rosenberg Show on YouTube.
- During the debut episode, Ebro displayed messages he says Drake sent reading “Die slower pussy” and “We got some shit for you,” after Drake had posted an axe emoji about the cancellation.
- Rosenberg condemned Drake’s reaction and joked Ebro should sue, as figures like DJ Vlad, Funkmaster Flex and Joe Budden offered contrasting public commentary.
- Ebro has alleged corporate and political motives tied to new ownership and casino licensing, a claim not verified, and Hot 97’s longer-term morning lineup remains unresolved.
