DJ Mister Cee announced on air on September 11, 2013 that he was resigning from Hot 97 in New York after 20 years at the station. The announcement came shortly after a video surfaced online from a person who goes by Bimbo Winehouse, who claims in the video that Mister Cee solicited sex from them.
What was reported
According to reports at the time, Mister Cee was arrested earlier in 2013 in Brooklyn on a solicitation charge. He later discussed the matter on air with Hot 97’s Ebro Darden and said he was stepping away to get help. He had said then that he was not attracted to men or transgender women. The new video, posted by Bimbo Winehouse, was presented as a contradiction of that statement. In the video, Bimbo Winehouse says the two agreed on a price but that Mister Cee became nervous and nothing happened. Mister Cee had not responded to the claims in the video when he announced his resignation.
What he said
On air, Mister Cee said the last two years had been difficult and that he did not want to put the station through more. He said he did not want to be pushed out and wanted to leave on his own terms, saying, “I never want to be in a situation where I get pushed out anywhere.”
Our take
Mister Cee is a respected figure in New York hip hop, and everyone is free to live their life as they choose. But this is the second time in a few months his private life has become public news, and his career at the station is now in question. We will keep you posted on any response from Mister Cee or Hot 97.
