It’s already an emotional day in New York City due to the 12th anniversary of “September 11,” but earlier today DJ Mister Cee announced his official resignation from Hot 97 live on air. During the last episode of his “Throwback at Noon” show, Cee opened up about wanting to leave Hot 97 to avoid any more unnecessary press for the station. After a 20 year career spanning from 1993 to present, Cee finally bows out of the radio airwaves and exits on his own conditions. We wish him the best luck in all his future endeavors.
We commend Hot 97 & Ebro for standing by Mr. Cee during this hard time as well. Check after the jump to read the official Hot 97 press release regarding the situation.
UPDATE: Listen to Mr. Cee’s resignation announcement & final Throwback at Noon!
UPDATE 2: Mister Cee retracts resignation and opens up about his past issues and his sexuality, in an emotional morning show with Hot 97.
“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.”
