Houston radio personality Brandi Garcia has been fired, reportedly for playin a song featuring Houston rapper Trae Tha Truth.
KBXX 97.9 “The Box,” the radio station for which Garcia worked, banned Trae’s music after a 2009 festival for at-risk young people, hosted by Trae, was marred by individuals open-firing on the crowd and wounding six people.
The incident, which took place at Texas Southern University, was one year removed from a tribute to Trae’s work in the community, where Mayor Bill White and City Council Member Pete Brown declared an honorary “Trae Day” in Houston.
Later, an on-air argument between Trae and KBXX’s DJ Nnete Inyagumia about who was responsible for the violence ensued. Trae’s music was banned thereafter. The rapper responded by announcing he was suing KBXX and Radio One for blackballing him aand his associates, and sabotaging his career.
After Garcia played Waka Flocka Flame song “O Let’s Do It,” which features Trae Tha Truth, at a concert at the Arena Theater, the radio personality was reportedly fired. “I went in the office the next day and they told me I was fired for playing that song,” explained Garcia. “It may be legal, but it’s unethical. It’s a shame this has gotten this far, that a personal problem can effect somebody’s career that they have worked so hard for for 14 years. But don’t think for one minute I am out of the game.”

Okay she should have known better. NO trash in the office.
I’m from Houston and i listen to the boxx every morning. The one they should have fired was nnete’s fatass. She aint nothing but a fakeass Oprah wannabe. Trae had already left the event when the shooting took place and she still tried to link him and his music to someone else’s stupidity. Trae has done more for the kids in this city than most local artist, and she had some nerve pointing fingers at everybody but the ignorant asses that were arrested for the incident. She acts worse than the MAN himself. I think Madd Hatta and J Mack really did find her ass behind a damn trash dumpster at Katy Mills Mall. Stay up Trae, Brany Garcia, and the Cracker Nutts.
