The recent cancellation of the iconic Ebro in the Morning show at Hot 97 sparked a heated debate between rapper Maino and Vlad on the station’s culture and leadership. Vlad criticized host Peter Rosenberg, accusing him of consistently disrespecting peers and branding him as “a punk” for airing grievances online after being let go. Vlad emphasized loyalty, labeling former employees who bash Hot 97 post-termination as “weak,” suggesting some attribute the firings to racism or political bias following new ownership.
Maino offered a more nuanced viewpoint, explaining that shifts in ownership—Hot 97 was sold in 2019—often bring new agendas and restructuring, which can lead to personnel changes. He argued former hosts are critiquing management decisions rather than the brand itself. Both agreed digital personas often differ from real-life interactions, highlighting complexities in public disputes. The discussion revealed lingering tensions surrounding one of New York’s biggest hip-hop radio platforms.
