Mister Cee Addresses Resignation From Hot 97

    Earlier today, it was revealed that Mister Cee, a/k/a Mr Cee, had resigned from his post at New York radio station Hot 97 after 20 years with the station.

    The announcement came amidst new allegations that the legendary deejay and producer solicited a prostitute. In May, Cee had been arrested in New York City for allegedly soliciting sex from an undercover male police officer posing as a prostitute.

    Cee addressed the resignation on air during what would appear to be his final show:

    “[Today is] my last time being on the air on Hot 97, yours truly Mister Cee,” Cee said on the air, as per MTV.com. “I am officially resigning from Hot 97 today. I went through a lot in the past two years and I’ve tried to rise above those situations, I have tried to move forward from these situations and unfortunately every time I try to move forward, it’s like I take one step forward and then two steps back, and I’m hurting the people who are closest to me, which is my Hot 97 fam.”

    Cee stressed that the decision to leave was his alone. “Everybody knows I love doing this radio thing. I’ve been at Hot 97 since 1993 and I live, breathe, sleep radio,” he said. “The last thing that I wanna do is hurt the Hot 97 family, so I have decided — not Ebro, not management, nobody, but me Mister Cee — I have decided that it’s time for me to move on and it’s time for me to take time out to take care of myself.”

    Ultimately, Mister Cee decided that his actions could harm Hot 97, so he decided it was time to leave. “There are a lot of situations where when I try to do what I think is the right thing, a setback happens, and the last thing I wanna do is hurt this station, so today is my last day on Hot 97.”

    The announcement ended on a positive note. “I am good, I am safe, I am happy, I am blessed, but in reality I knew that this day would come,” Mister Cee said. “Whether it was because of the mistakes I’ve made in the past or whether it was just time for me to move on, I knew that at some point, this day was going to come, and so the day has finally come where Mister Cee has to move on. It comes a time when you have to be a realist and understand that what do you affects others, and you don’t wanna hurt the people that you love and I love this station. I love Hot 97.”

    Cee has denied that he is homosexual, but has stated that even if he was, he was free to keep his sexual orientation to himself.

    Mister Cee built his legacy in the 1980s as Big Daddy Kane’s deejay. In the 1990s, he was one of several people credited with discovering The Notorious B.I.G., and was an executive producer on Biggie’s debut album, 1994’s Ready to Die.

    1. The man is down on his luck and he ain’t feelin’ himself right now. Every man will go through a situation like this (well, not the male prostitute thing but ya know). No one is better off dead unless your name is George Zimmerman or Kim K. Cee, get your mind right, pick yourself up, and do what you need to do. Oh yea, watch out for male hookers who like set ya up. I don’t care what you’re preference is.

      1. That’s what Trayvon said. We all know what happened after that. I will choose my next words wisely, for your next candy purchase may be your last.

        Sincerely,

        Jorge.

    2. I aint with that homo shit at all, but man damn. If he like dick or wanna take it up the ass, thats his biz and nobody should judge nor hate him for that.

    6. This nigga acting like a bitch right now. U got caught with a man. its aither u deny it or admit it. stop making suicidal comments.

    7. I didn’t want to let you guys down. There’s just something about a man on top letting his dick slap against my stomach that keeps me coming back for more.

    8. Real shit Mr. Cee its all good. everyone has made mistakes plus it wasn’t like u were at a gay club lookin for a ass. you were set up by a COP that was dressed like a FEMALE and who knows they prolly did a good ass job lookin like a female. And you were prolly fucked up on a molly or some other drug that fucks up your judgement. Your Good Mr. CEE don’t let ignorant dumb fuck make sure contemplate killing yourself. Stay up man you are still a Legend.

    9. Real talk, seems like the issues surrounding the homo thing are killing Cee. Fuck anybody who says you’re less for how ya feel, don’t let the world have that power on you. Head up Cee stay healthy

    10. All these fruity, backseat, 20 dollar sodomites defending mr cee. I hope he catch the hiv ol nasty, dome giving slut. Lol fag!!!

    11. Boo Hoo Hoo…”tito give me some tissue, and jermaine please stop teasing”.

      GTFO…he gets no sympathy fag running around these nasty streets with a wife and kids at home. Fuck Mr Cee. What about the innocent kids that gotta go to school and get teased cuz daddy sucking street trash? FOH.

    12. HE MAKES THINGS WORSE BY NOT ADMITTING HE IS GAY. THAT RADIOSTATION WOULD HAVE NO CHANCE FIRING A GAY DEEJAY MISTER CEE.

    13. What a surprise – a faggot gets emotional and the plays the drama queen on twitter.

      Not really news, this is what faggots do.

      Goodbye and good riddance you disgusting cretin!

    14. dude is depressive but can better admit and stay a while out of the spotlight. i mean nobody give a shit when frank ocean amitted he was gay

      1. Frank is bi-sex, not explicitly gay. But don’t pretend that a young and talented R&B singer and a 40-year-old radio personality would expect the same treatment in this case… For me, it seems that even Mister Cee has a hard time to accept himself what he is, so coming out of the closet maybe not _that_ bad idea. Shit is so obvious anyway, just look at his criminal reports…

    15. Dude look like a big queen trying to hide out in hiphop i think Hot 97 gave him the choice but allowed him to let the public hear it from him , Making a comment better off dead is dumb just be who you are and if your gay your gay !

    16. 90% of the black population in the U.S. Is anti-gay with 50% of those say they would slit the throat of any who they suspect is gay. What would you do?

      1. He just made them up, people like making up fake azz stats and parade them around as real numbers. Murk Yo Self ANON…

      2. Most of the gay people I know are black, add all the gay dudes and lesbian chicks in most hoods, add prison populations and you came up with 90% anti gay?

    17. Somebody call the RAINBOW coalition. He wants to hunt male trannies on a full time basis now… he has no time for radio

    18. Micter Cee aint gay and as a close friend of Birdman I can confirm after a drunk party Baby visited his house when he was alone at home and he is straight, he has a photo of a wife. doze trannier are just close friends. swag

    19. “Mister Cee, a/k/a Mr Cee” I had no idea they were the same guy. Thanks for pointing that out! I would never have guessed.

    20. as Jeremy implied I am stunned that a stay at home mom can get paid $6642 in one month on the internet. look at here now… http://www.Cafe44.com

      This just in: Kendrick ate a burrito and had to shit. HHDX sources may believe this could be a “diss shit” at other rappers. We will keep you posted after he wipes since we have no other stories at this time.

    21. This particular situation was related to a drag queen, not a trans woman, but so what if he is attracted to trans women? That’s his business. If you’re getting all up on his sex life, you’re the one who should fall back.
