50 Cent supports Mr. Cee in light of his arrest: I’ll get rid of Whoo Kid and make Cee my DJ any day… (Exclusive)

The trade-offs that people make for fame have changed over the years. The ways in which “celebrities” are rewarded (and the things they are rewarded for) has expanded. And so has the scrutiny and the pitfalls. I picture all our heroes and villains skating on a frozen lake. The lake keeps getting bigger, the range of performers and the audience keeps growing too; but the more flood lights we add from the sidelines, the thinner the ice gets.
There has been much discussion (and derision) since rumors surfaced that legendary DJ Mister Cee was arrested with a man named Lawrence Campbell for “misdemeanor public lewdness and indecent exposure charges.” The uproar is predictable but some of the off-color commentary has come from people that surprised me. Police reports and news outlets reasonably confirm that the arrest happened and details are readily available.
What has been less public, but taking place privately between many many people who know and respect Cee as a friend, co-worker, and most importantly, as a legendary DJ….is the discussion of:
How he moves past this, whether it changes our opinion of him, and how this fits into the larger issues of lifestyle, fame, prejudice and compassion.
On Monday, 50 Cent and I had this conversation on the record. A surprising and moving convo in many ways. We’re preparing a video of the interview right now. But here’s a preview that I included on Celebrity Drama last night.
Miss Info Celebrity Drama featuring 50 Cent: Part 1 (download)
Miss Info Celebrity Drama featuring 50 Cent: Part 2 (download)
If you have been wondering why the ongoing details of this story haven’t been included here or in Celeb Drama…
This is my personal blog and I’m sure it’s understood that I cover what I like or dislike, but always what I choose to. And what’s chosen is not everything. And it never will be. I’m not motivated by volume. There is no “AOL way.” In fact, I hope it’s clear that much of the blog is personality-driven. The opinions or likes and dislikes aren’t hidden, but they can be random, they can change, they are sometimes inexplicable. Hence, personal. So I know that personal opinion isn’t unbiased. But I do claim to be fair. That means, I don’t say something I truly don’t mean. And I don’t report something as fact that I believe is not. (If you think that’s the norm, it’s increasingly not.)
Now in the case of Mr. Cee’s “scandalous” arrest, it’s more than just not caring enough about the story to include it. Obviously. So that’s not the reason for the “silent treatment.”
But, aside from having this blog, I am also part of a company. And within that company, there is a family atmosphere.
Do some of you have rules at your jobs? Or am I the only one who has to follow guidelines from higher ups? Sometimes guidelines are frustrating. But as long as I am not asked to cover up anything or misrepresent something, I understand when I need to wait for official statement or follow a company lead.
In this particular case, I also don’t mind, because I fully admit that I know and like Mr. Cee. So I want confirming details (which I think the Smoking Gun post has) and ideally a direct response.
[*Note: one important thing that Bucky Turco/Animal pointed out to me, is that despite The Smoking Gun‘s strong record of gathering legal documents…they’re playing themselves by referencing an unverified Cee twitter account, which is fake. Yes, I know Flex retweeted it. I’ve retweeted DrunkHulk. That doesn’t mean it’s real.]
There is no direct response from Mr. Cee. But he knows what 50 and I discussed, and knows that I will be publishing it.

Miss info, this was well written and that is why I continue to support your site. This is Mr. Cee’s personal life and what he discloses has no bearing upon my opinion of him. I will continue to listen to him regardless.
April 6th, 2011 at 11:39 am
Respect – I mean, the majority of why you didn’t/couldn’t speak on this situation should’ve been known to everyone, but I guess some people don’t get that… I also respect what 50 has to say about the situation. That’s some real talk, in every sense of the phrase. Hopefully all sides come to the light, we can have whatever discussions need to be had, and move on.
April 6th, 2011 at 11:39 am
FOUL ON THE PLAY
April 6th, 2011 at 11:42 am
tell your man, he can get past this by not denying it. i aint saying dude should come out and confess with a rainbow flag or anything…but denying it, only to have more dirt come out later, will only make it worst.(c)officer ricky.
dude should just keep his mouth shut, unless he’s willing to carry that rainbow flag, and when asked about it, tell people, in so many words, to mind their fucking business.
April 6th, 2011 at 11:45 am
im still a fan of mister cee & couldnt care less whos getting him off but, rite now im pretty embarrassed for dood
his whole approach to the situation was horrible
barking all over twitter and the radio blaming the hiphop cops for setting him up lol
why would police set you up to be gay? being gay isnt even illegal. i guess to ruin your street cred because ur rly important, right? cmon now, aside from old school BIG and BDK fans, ppl barely know who you are outside of the tri-state. its not like bringing mister cee down with gayness would be the back breaking straw on the evil empire of new york hiphop. maybe jay-z or puff, but this claim is just ridiculous.
mister cee says he was in the car alone but doesnt refute the charges of lewdness or exposure
i guess his story is that he was just parked off the west side highway jerking off in his car…awesome
cee got egg all over his face
he should kept it real and owned up to it or not addressed it at all imo
he needs a good friend in his ear to break it down realisticly to him & for that reason i hope you dont moderate this comment like mr.north has been doing to me all week
like i said, i was a fan before & im still a fan now….hurts me to see him playing himself like this
props to flex for standing by his dude tho (nohomo?)
April 6th, 2011 at 11:49 am
[miss info] – you said a whole lotta nothin. Quite simply: you don’t bite the hand that feeds you. Keep it live baby girl. Respect.
April 6th, 2011 at 11:53 am
his name is the “Legendary” Mr Cee. we cant count the things hes done for our culture. what ever your views on what happened no one can take that away from him.
Miss info we keep coming back to your site because your personality shines through.
April 6th, 2011 at 11:55 am
Real Talk, it is not our (public/private people) place to judge what somebody does behind closed doors. As long as its not directly or indirectly impact your everyday life then who cares. Admire there art, and Mister Cee is a one of the best djs and delivered the people one of the best lyricists Ever. The only thing i can say is Just TRY not to make situations like this public. Mister Cee needs to continue to dj and do his thing. Its sad what the black community do to its own people. Other communities can move fwd but we (as in the black community) can never do it. NEVER.
April 6th, 2011 at 11:55 am
Well said Miss Info.
April 6th, 2011 at 12:15 pm
Mister Cee is Hip-Hop point blank period. No matter if this story is true or not it will never undo what this man means to the world of Hip-Hop. We are all human and sure as hell don’t live in glass houses so who the hell are we to throw stones!!! What he does in his life is his business good or bad! I’m so over people treating celebrities like their non humans!?!? Cmon seriously if he had been Joey from the block no one who have even given this a second thought. Miss Info I respect you above all bloggers because you spoke from the mind & heart!! Please keep doing your job as you see fit.
April 6th, 2011 at 12:30 pm
I don’t believe that Cee has made any statement at all. the twitter that people keep citing is fake.
April 6th, 2011 at 12:37 pm
My issue is just the blatant hypocrisy shown. I have read and heard you spread unfounded gossip about people before, so this sudden disclaimer is confusing and simply untrue. The real issue here is the fact that Cee (and his cronies) are ashamed of what he is. If he wasn’t he wouldn’t have been caught like this and your (and others) responses wouldn’t have been to ignore, deny or deflect it. Of course the peanut gallery is going to throw shots, that’s what they do. And honestly, if this were Puff or Jay you wouldn’t be writing this enlightening diatribe, you’d have broken your fingers to put the story up.
I couldn’t care less about 50’s opinion on anything or Cee (or anyone else) being gay. I just feel if your going to be a known as a “gossip” and take joy in spreading other peoples business (true or false) just be fair. Don’t all of a sudden develop a moral compass when its a co-worker. And make lame excuses about work hierarchy to deflect the fact that you didn’t want to report that your co-worker is gay.
April 6th, 2011 at 12:48 pm
hmm, I don’t think that I “spread unfounded gossip.” I’m not going to say that I’ve never been wrong. But I definitely make an effort to do my due diligence to find out. Sometimes I can’t tell you the source, but it’s there. And if I think the rumor is false, I don’t run with it. You can make as many accusations as fulfills your personal opinion of me. But I’m telling you what my inner protocol is. And since you’re bringing up Puff and Jay….I’ve heard many many rumors about both…the ones which I didn’t believe….are the ones you never saw here.
But I sense from your comment that no matter what I say, you have a set view of me, my work, this blog, and your own sense of what I’ve said in the past. I can appreciate that, I’m hardheaded about things too. I still thank you for the visit.
One last thing, I’m not ashamed of anyone being gay, whether they are a co-worker, a friend, a relative, anyone. That is 100 percent false. That’s not an acceptable accusation to me.
April 6th, 2011 at 12:50 pm
nothing will take away what mr cee has done for hip hop
his Sexual Preference is up to him, but it is story because he was doing something in public, i do think funk master flex mad himself mr cee and hot 97 look a bit dumb by acting fool on radio over a few jokes that happen on over power and give it even more notice
April 6th, 2011 at 12:51 pm
Why fif have to dog out his homie like that surely he could say id make Mr Cee my DJ without throwing Whoo kid name out there , that boy could never be a politician lol.
April 6th, 2011 at 12:56 pm
Truth is scandals can ruin legacies , and while the scandal will never remove his accomplishments a man makes. It will hurt his legacy , how severely only time will tell.
April 6th, 2011 at 12:56 pm
Wow. Say how you really feel. You didn’t pull any punches.
April 6th, 2011 at 12:57 pm
gotta admit, Glam is 100% correct
April 6th, 2011 at 1:01 pm
good response.
Is this story actually confirmed or is it still a rumour? im asking because 1, fif was talking like it is and 2 , people should believe everything they read.
April 6th, 2011 at 1:04 pm
I don’t have an opinion of you really. I just take you at face value like I would anyone else. I’m just saying, I’ve heard you say things that I know are untrue and if I knew it, you had to also (like you say you have “sources”). But that’s not the issue. I respect that you were in a tough spot. You’re grown and can report or not report whatever you feel. It’s your blog and I’ve always enjoyed your writing style. I even appreciate you respnding because you didn’t have to. But I call a spade a spade.
I think a lot of people associated with Cee (including Cee)are ashamed of what he is. If you say you aren’t fine. I wish him love and peace and guidance.
April 6th, 2011 at 1:06 pm
If the culture can accept a former corrections officer pretending to be the biggest drug dealer on wax, another Rapper pretending to be a blood/alien, along with dudes wearing skinny jeans ans suspect haircuts.(pause) I think Mr. C can get a pass. I’m sorry the culture been took that lady gaga turn years ago when we over looked way more egregious errors.
April 6th, 2011 at 1:07 pm
At the end of the day Mr. Cee talks too gangsta and represents a gangsta music culture and getting [edit] by a dude in public is not acceptable in this culture POiNT BLANK he should have got a room and there is no secret that the industry is full of those creatures. And yes I don’t associate or care for homosexuals I have no problem with them but I am not going to condone that abnormal behavior and u MS INFO are a two faced blogger and u know it
April 6th, 2011 at 1:11 pm
your opinion is: “things that I know are untrue…” and “if I knew it, you had to also.”
April 6th, 2011 at 1:11 pm
Glam got you Info, Va Slim too! Just keep it real, c’mon son!
April 6th, 2011 at 1:13 pm
actually I think 50 referred to it as a rumor, but this convo happened on Monday. Since then I believe that recent police reports at least confirmed that an arrest took place and the accusation is on file. That doesn’t mean that there has been any judgement or conviction.
April 6th, 2011 at 1:17 pm
first off everyone WILL care if he is gay… ppl have been ruing the day that someone assoc. with hip hop comes out gay, not maybe heavy hip hop fans who care about the music, but more so the bigger aspect of ppl who embrace the lifestyle. Now as far as mr. cee goes he is an idiot for denying it. so if and when it comes out it will be like egg on ur face(pause lol) but I love how these blogs and insiders in the industry wanna take sides and not say anything for one person but then not another, it’s that person’s life rt? you can document one aspect but not another mans? Look at young berg (though diff level of respect and diff circumstance) but when he gets robbed they report and when his photos leak naked they report. These bloggers don’t have an obligation at some point to just have RESPECT for a dude when his chips are down? only in a perfect world I suppose. so a ‘pppbbbht’ (raspberry) to these media outlets and personalities…
April 6th, 2011 at 1:19 pm
I don’t think I’ll ever understand Curtis. SMH
April 6th, 2011 at 1:21 pm
first off, respect for poasting my comment
secondly, i have been hearing rumors that the twitter acct is bogus but, it seems pretty official…& if it wasnt youd figure he would speak on that publicly, which he hasnt. also, if it is fake & theyre misrepresenting the HOT97 logo etc you would expect to see a cease & disist, or at the very least mister cee would have twitter take down the fake page. after listening to mr.cee on the radio for my whole life, i gotta say it reads like hes the one writing it.
that aside, its all very shady and not much of it makes sense. the only thing with any real substance is the police report & were all aware of wat that says.
its a shame that theres so much attn being paid to the negative events in his personal life, especially wen the positive outweighs that, but if michael jackson didnt get a pass, mister cee shouldnt expect one either.
ppl respect realness & for that i hope he dsnt try and play the ppl that support him for fools
that would be the biggest mistake he could make
not that its anybodies business but his, but, the media has it it that way and its his job to maintain the reputation of his name.
April 6th, 2011 at 1:21 pm
sorry miss info, this wasn’t really directed towards you per se but your fam like 2dopeboyz, nahright and outlets such as bossip(i hate the way they degrade the ethnic community with certain posts)… sidenote (you are so gorgeous makes me wanna write you a love song, I’ll say hello If i get famous one day)
April 6th, 2011 at 1:27 pm
mister cee wouldve been wise to keep it behind closed doors but he didnt
he was out in the street
its nobodies fault but his own that this is public
hes in a position to take a stance in hiphop to try n end a lot of homophobia, but i doubt he will do that based on his actions thus far.
nobodies holding back blk ppl but themselves in this case
April 6th, 2011 at 1:30 pm
lmfaooooooo amen brutha
April 6th, 2011 at 1:41 pm
Sidenote, Miss Info looks mad fine in that pic above (don’t get any ideas, I’m married). Shoutout to that Flashdance top you’re rockin
April 6th, 2011 at 1:42 pm
cosign glam 100%. everybody gave rick ross hell about having a JOB in law enforcment, but mr cee, who i respect, is in a situation like this and fif, of all ppl, wanna justify shit. cmon, mane. dude shits on everybody and now he got compassion. just my opin, but glam is right.
April 6th, 2011 at 1:44 pm
I’m glad you said that… I for one was concerned that perhaps because it was personal you would never make a post. I sent an email in fact on the subject to your site as well.
I for one appreciate the directness of your stance and the peril of working for a larger entity. Thats important for everyone to understand.
I will gladly say its a big disappointment that this has surfaced in this fashion. I for one am not a fan of the gay community. However I would not bash someone for who they are. I wish Cee would say something if not for him & his family. Then for the fans, the culture and world.
April 6th, 2011 at 1:44 pm
Caught with a horror show tranny and allegedly blamed “hip hop cops”? Good luck in the JETS parking lot next season Mr. Cee.
April 6th, 2011 at 1:48 pm
Sorry Info, but Glam has a point. At this point, we can pretty much say dude got caught with a dude in his car. There’s no real way to get that wrong and the police reports about what was happening are real. So I do believe that constitutes strong enough evidence to report from you. I understand you’re friends and colleagues with Mr Cee and truthfully, if dude’s gay that’s his biz. I just find it funny people like yourself who have reported gossip on TONS of other people with little to no “real” evidence but are now dodging this whole situation.
Plus I find it funny that people like 50, who I recall in his beefs with other has called them fags, cupcakes, or other homophobic slurs, are all “tolerant” now because it’s someone their cool with. The hypocrisy just troubles me.
April 6th, 2011 at 1:56 pm
Exactly. They get on my nerves trying to be respectful when it comes to someone they like/work with but everyone else is fair game. Your co-worker played himself in a MAJOR way in every way imaginable. PERIOD.
April 6th, 2011 at 1:57 pm
real tawk.C should get a automatic pass on this one.people should know by now in hiphop what you dont see is what you get.
April 6th, 2011 at 1:57 pm
you’re repeating what I said in the post. There is clear evidence of his arrest and accusations. That’s why I included it. What part of that don’t you get? I’m not refuting those facts. *scratches head* And I am fully aware that 50 has used tons of slurs before. If and when the longer audio is posted, that will be clear. The clip is short because that’s how long the segment is.
April 6th, 2011 at 1:58 pm
This aint got shit to do with black people , its always scandalous when a celeb gets caught with a hooker and even more so when its a tranny and even more so when the tranny is more than half is age and even more so if the man is married and even more so when the man in question is a important part of the development of a culture that historically is not supportive of the activities he allegedly took part of in the night in question.
To act as if black people in america are somehow behind the rest of the pack in terms of accepting a situation like this is absurd.
We are talking about taboo on top of taboo on top of taboo , you think if johnny depp was getting his rocks off in lawrence’s mouth instead of mister cee , there would be no scandal??? elliot spitzer , hugh grant , charlie sheen’s involvement with heidi fliess were all scandals that eclipsed this one 1000 fold and those involved straight couples.
I hate when people try to put burdens on the black race to bear that don’t even apply to the situation. The media is not a true reflection of sentiment in america less than half of america even approve of gay’s getting married and last time i checked black people weren’t half the country.
April 6th, 2011 at 1:59 pm
any adult caught engaging in oral sex in a vehicle with a prostitute should be embarrassed.
and as a public figure, mister cee should, naturally, be publicly embarrassed.
April 6th, 2011 at 2:01 pm
Agreed and that is why Curtis in particular irks me. And irked me about Flex’s disdain for Pac’s ‘negativity’.
We can’t always be 100% consistent because we’re human, but it’s getting to the point where people don’t even try.
April 6th, 2011 at 2:03 pm
I saw someone post eariler that Ross has gotten a pass for his job before rap and he has so what you said doesn’t hold true today.. Maybe right after we found out he held a job in the law enforcement feild, people got on blogs and said this cop ass nigga.. But as of at least 1 year ago Ross has been one of the hottest in the game.. Hell even on this site all I read is well the music is good so who cares.. 50 sees that change in how rap fans feel and says okay Mr. Cee is my friend so I’ll stand by him.. Like he says for those who interview him about the fall out with those artist who were once down.. If you don’t do anything to warrent a shot, no shot will be sent.. Plus with 50 if it won’t make him money or it has a chance to lose money in the future he won’t open his mouth in a way to fuck it up.. Mr. Cee is a well respected DJ and in that world a DJ says what plays in the club and what doesn’t.. Other DJ’s will see this as if 50 stood by this dude when he could have went off and that could stop some money from coming in.. You heard how Flex feels about people clowning on dude.. And for all the bullshit with Flex he can stop your spins on Hot 97
April 6th, 2011 at 2:06 pm
a more interesting question..
would new york city (one of the most socially liberal cities in the nation) allow an openly gay radio DJ to continue to host a hip-hop (one of the most homophobic genres of music) radio show?
April 6th, 2011 at 2:09 pm
I read over it again and yes you did state that there was an arrest. Forgive me 🙂
As for 50, I can’t wait to hear the rest. Did you ask him a question like that? I’m actually interested to hear how he responds. Because at the end of the day, how the hip hop community responds will have a huge effect.
April 6th, 2011 at 2:11 pm
This is bullshit who gives a fuck who gay anymore? People need to stop fucking hiding who the fuck they are and just be real.. Now I understand what you do in your private life is no one’s business, I fell that! I understand that one’s sexuality or sexual curiosities define them as a person that’s all fine and well.. And there really is no if ands or buts about that…. BUT as a gay person you bear the responsibility to be a role model to others! My problem with gay has been and always will be that the only representation of it is this overly flamboyant drag queen image and that there isn’t more thriving happy normal gay professionals out there publicly being who they are.. So I don’t care if you’re gay info or angie or Mr. Cee or Flex… THAT SHIT DON’T FUCCKING CONCERN ME ONE FUCKING BIT!! WHO REALLY GIVES A FUCK!!! I wont stop coming to the site and talking shit if you came out tomorrow!!
Now lets get to some important shit like HOW THE FUCK IS THAT 50 MOVIE? Is the shit good, bad, trashy? Is his acting horrible or improving… Was it a good story? Can it be a hit? Could he be considered for an award for it? WHATS UP WITH THAT?
I love u Info you aggressive motherfucker you!
April 6th, 2011 at 2:12 pm
If and when can we be blessed with the rest of the audio or video footage of this interview Info..
April 6th, 2011 at 2:16 pm
Why is that.. lol
April 6th, 2011 at 2:18 pm
im not editing it.
April 6th, 2011 at 2:20 pm
They all try to play those who respect and go to bat for them like fools… Because I guess they dont think the love is real… And then when they get caught up they get mad at us for feeling betrayed foolishness…
I’m not going to stop listening to those epic Queen Albums because Freddy Mercury was gay or I’m not going to toss my Elton John greatest hits records out the car window because he gay thats just dumb the problem with these new sneaky gays is that they think someone actually gives a fuck!! They make it worst for themselves by playing that game and only lose more in the end… They need to take a page from the very successful gays of the 70’s and 80’s and stop being a bunch of punk bitches!
April 6th, 2011 at 2:20 pm
At the end of the day all that buzz about it will be so positive for Hot 97 (and it’s biz clients), bet it up!
& Shout 2 Fif, he’s got my respect for his brave position.
April 6th, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Side note: Vegas should hold bets on the first rapper to have a slick line in a song about Mr. Cee and this Tranny adventure.. We all know there will be at least one.. I said rapper not singer because I have a strong feeling the first song or person to sing about it will be Gaga..
April 6th, 2011 at 2:24 pm
Exactly You can’t get high and mighty and Condemn C, if you bought, or pushed or excepted that Dirty Money lp. (lls) You just can’t! If you ever caught yourself excepting DJ Khaled minstrel show,or Saying yeah Gucci man is cool. You are more at fault then C. If you propped up Nicky Manag as a beacon for all women, and Consider OJ da juiceman lyrical, far be it for me to get upset over some dude getting neck from a tranny. Hip Hop you gotta bite the bullet on this one, because you made the ground rules. The rules are do what ever the fuck you want, its all cool. Even this blog its all cool. Its all part of the same shit sandwich. We all still continue to consume it every day.
April 6th, 2011 at 2:31 pm
When you get married the fucking stops so plenty of married dudes are getting off in cars hahahah nothing new there….. Just watch the Hunts Point shit on HBO!!
I wish there was a vcamera there when he got snagged now the look of shame look would have been amazing to see lol…
April 6th, 2011 at 2:32 pm
I’m not going to stop listening to those epic Queen Albums because Freddy Mercury was gay or I’m not going to toss my Elton John greatest hits records out the car window because he gay thats just dumb the problem with these new sneaky gays is that they think someone actually gives a fuck!!

April 6th, 2011 at 2:41 pm
It’s really not that brave a position when you have a strong relationship with the guy and it’s still financially viable for you to back him at this point.
April 6th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
I’m not going to give Fif props just yet…he’s just been too inconsistent over the years and always some wierd motive for doing things besides the obviousy cash motivator.
But maybe he mentioned his Mom in the interview and is sincere. We’ll have to see.
April 6th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
yeah, bc we all know how hard up 50 is for dough.
April 6th, 2011 at 2:48 pm
Yo he may have got tricked by a tranny! It could happen to the best of us!
April 6th, 2011 at 2:49 pm
Well I look forward to the whole interview Info. And I appreciate you posting a non-bias write up, so many other sites only cared about slandering his name. At the end of the day, he is a phenomenal DJ and I could care less what he does in his personal life. I don’t think sexuality is anything anybody should broadcast anyway.
April 6th, 2011 at 2:51 pm
Soooo you do think he’s sincere then? Or again should we just wait for the entire piece?
April 6th, 2011 at 2:51 pm
would it still be a scandal if it was johnny deep? of course it would be, but thats not wat we’re talking about.
i poasted my comment as a reply, which means i was addressing something the previous commenter said:
Its sad what the black community do to its own people. Other communities can move fwd but we (as in the black community) can never do it. NEVER.
and to respond to your comment:
To act as if black people in america are somehow behind the rest of the pack in terms of accepting a situation like this is absurd.….i say dont be so stupid & nieve. ppl will sooner accept a rapper who claims to be a murderer and drug dealer than one who admits to being gay.
show me the progress there..
April 6th, 2011 at 2:55 pm
I remember what I thought his latest ‘schtick’ was recently and this would totally fit the pattern.
He’s been championing the underdog lately it seems, seeing if his endorsement alone can revive them, an evolution of the power he harnessed to do the exact opposite to Ja and others back in the day (and still periodically when he gets the itch). To me the Soulja Boy thing, the Jeremiah thing (on the cusp of losing his deal?) and some other wierd co-signs were examples of this theory.
But it’s just a theory and again if he mentions Moms and gets thorough with it, maybe it is different.
April 6th, 2011 at 3:01 pm
It’s not that he’s hard up for dough. It’s just that dude does have a relationship with Cee. And 50 doesn’t seem to be someone who would say something that could possibly hurt his money, either directly or indirectly. Plus I didn’t necessarily hear him say anything that was so “brave.”
Did I strike a nerve or something?
April 6th, 2011 at 3:01 pm
ok I saw the police report. He didn’t get tricked. Oh well
April 6th, 2011 at 3:04 pm
no, I just thought that was a silly suggestion.
April 6th, 2011 at 3:09 pm
Hip-Hop is homophobic as hell..if he came out and said he is gay,his career in some way would take a hit,thats a fact. The only realistic option that he has that he can save a little face with is to say “I thought he was a woman”..though, that dude in drag clearly looks like a dude..sheesh,i bet even gay ppl looking at the pics of that tranney like “wtf?!”
April 6th, 2011 at 3:18 pm
@too trill: It isn’t nobodys fault but his own. My point is to make smart moves, not do that in public unless you want to be seen. and yes some do hold each other back…
@ Yungnatty:It does effect how blacks view each other. The beat ups in schools, to discrimnation at work, and b/w personal relationships. Ive seen and heard it all. Blacks do not support each other as much as they should but upset when things are not acknowledged. The media is not a true reflection but as does a reflection work, you put things in front of it and it will reflect, Blacks put each other in a bad light;mediatakeout.com, worldstar, etc. The lists goes on. AAnd these sites slander and backlash blacks. You cant walk into any hood’ or poverty community and say “hey im gay!’ and get open arms or EVEN a “who cares” and still get to show there face on a daily basis. and yes blacks are “behind the pack.” We get exploited more than some.
April 6th, 2011 at 3:19 pm
I just gotta say this straight up! I read all the blogs & enjoy all the drama like everybody else but I JUST GOTTA SAY HOW HAPPY I AM WITH THIS SITE & EVERYONE WHO’S POSTED HERE FOR BEING INTELLIGENT & CLASSY ENOUGH TO NOT TAKE IT TO THE LEVELS OF SOME OF THE OTHER BLOGS & COMMENT SECTIONS!!!
I don’t see any “Cee’s a F!@GOT or a B&*^% or he likes D$%^ or any of that stuff here & I don’t know if it’s cuz we are a little older, wiser, & more mature on this blog, or if everybody is just trying to be cool. Either way it’s really refreshing to here talk (no matter whether it’s heated, accusatory, or what have you) which doesn’t go to those lows!
As far as Cee goes… I have no idea if he’s really gay, or if he was just looking for a hookup & he “didn’t know”… I DO NOT KNOW ANY OF THIS FOR SURE & DAMNIT I DON’T CARE!!! HE’S A LEGEND, A HUMAN BEING, & FROM WHAT I GATHER A GOOD DUDE WHO F’D UP ROYALLY!!!!
I beef with him for doing what he did cuz’ in this day of age & in his public eye position… YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER…. MALE OR FEMALE HOOKER… DON’T DO IT!!! THAT’S MY ISSUE! PERIOD!
Info… Thank you for finally addressing this. I knew you would get to it eventually & I knew the reasons you didn’t were probably work related & not just tied to a friend & that’s understandable & not for anyone to judge you on. And of course I knew when you did touch on this you would do with the same class & eloquence we’ve come to expect from you. Thank you!
For over 30 yrs Hip Hop, the culture of the underachiever, the culture of the downtrodden & the underdog, the poor, the minority (not just color-wise!, & the culture of the streets has been 1000% ANTI-GAY! I TRULY HOPE THAT MAYBE THIS CAN BE A STARTING POINT TO CHANGE ALL THAT, EVEN A LITTLE BIT. I DOUBT IT BUT I’D LIKE TO SEE IT! (AND NO, I’M NOT GAY SO DON’T TALK ISH Y’ALL! I’D JUST LIKE TO SEE A CHANGE!)
April 6th, 2011 at 3:20 pm
I wondered about the “radio silence” on this (and Flex’s DV to be honest). I understand your view and stance on this better now, even if I don’t totally agree.
Would Envy or Nick Cannon or Elvis Duran get a similar pass?
April 6th, 2011 at 3:22 pm
Liberals are “pro gay” its the other side thats against it hahaha
And I think this is a great opportunity for HOT 97 and Hip Hop to have a great conversation about gays in hip hop and hip hops reponsibility to the gay community… I just eant Eric Shermon fruity ass to come clean thats all I want… hahah
April 6th, 2011 at 3:23 pm
A great point was made by you toward the end of your post.. 50 hasn’t talked about his mom being gay that often in interviews.. (only time I heard him say it was on the Howard Stern Show back in 09).. But it would be a truly differnt sitiaution if he does bring up that fact.. And being down for the underdog isn’t new with 50.. He has been doing shit for people behind the scence for a mintue.. First was Young Buck, next was Game.. Just saying
April 6th, 2011 at 3:24 pm
I feel very bad for 50 everytime we are suppose to be discussing his projects some distracting shit comes up!!
HOW THE FUCK WAS THE GOT DAMN MOVIE!!!
April 6th, 2011 at 3:25 pm
@too trill when i said “situation like this” i did not refer to him being gay or not i was referring to the scandal and yes the scandal is more sensational because he was with a gay partner just like hugh grants scandal was more sensational because he was a black woman.
When it comes to gay business black community is under no obligation to ride the bandwagon , gay business has been considered wrong by most of the planet for centuries and the majority of americans throughout the early part of the last decade. This so called “change” is fairly recent if the black community finds merit in making this behaviour being part of black society and it takes a few years longer to come to that conclusion than so be it , if they decide that the gay business isn’t their cup of tea than so be it.
Moving forward dont necessarily mean you pointed in the right direction it just mean you a move and when it comes to social constructs that may influence centuries of human history in the future , if the blackman take more time with the decisions regarding such a issue im all for it.
April 6th, 2011 at 3:35 pm
dam info its lookin like Nah Right out dis btch
April 6th, 2011 at 3:35 pm
my thoughts exactly. double standards.
April 6th, 2011 at 3:37 pm
it happens, but we try to censor excessive slurs or overly explicit language.
April 6th, 2011 at 3:38 pm
from their co-workers, I believe so. From me, personally? I don’t usually mention any other radio jocks.
April 6th, 2011 at 3:47 pm
My whole thing is why does anyone have to be accepting of one’s lifestyle. That doesn’t mean that you are going around bashing and hurting homosexuals. But to some, homosexuality is a major issue and they choose not to support that community. I, personally, don’t find anything wrong with that. If a person didn’t want to hang out or support a person that smoked is perfectly fine. But to persecute or attack that person is another thing.
April 6th, 2011 at 3:50 pm
If he gay he’s gay I don’t care but I won’t ask him to DJ my party I don’t want that type of company coming to my party cause he playing.
I’m not sorry for him he’s Mr cee he can’t afford no cheat hotel he deserves to get caught homosexual ass DJ
April 6th, 2011 at 3:54 pm
i totally agree.
April 6th, 2011 at 4:07 pm
@uptown you really must think all white people sweet or something , that you can walk into any white neighbourhood and say hey im gay! and everybody breaks out ice cream and cake or something? Remember it wasn’t a blackman drag matthew shepard behind his truck , is not black man who have hate organizations specifically for gays.
You guys head full of stereotypes , first of all its not even a white or black thing its a cultural thing , a lot of eastern europeans ukranians russians etc carry the same attitudes italians and latinos as well.
Mediatakeout and worldstar are hardly media and as far the slander and stupidity goes on those sites , black people in america need to stop seeing themselves through white eyes , charlie sheen didn’t set whites or latinos back but he is plastered all over tmz ,britney spears , mel gibson, lindsay lohan has not either , paris hilton dumbass on that sextape either. those boys on jackass could be considered “coons” but they are not considered to doing something detrimental to there race, when that redneck on jerry springer cheated on her 30 year old husband with his 62 year old father and was pregnant with his baby that aint set whites back , but when shaquanda come on maury wit 6 niggas to test that hoodrat set you back? Chris brown is being considered like ike turner meanwhile charlie sheen a warlock even though he even shot one of his exes. Everytime a black man does something wrong in america some other black person wants to take it personally like some black guy 2000 miles away embarrassed you , jump on twitter sayin “niggaz dont know how to act” in front of a bunch of tweeters of different races taking in what you sayin like its the truth because black guy said so smh, sure blacks get exploited but just like a uncle tom there is always someone willing to sellout his own people for profit whether or not that affects you depends on you.
Ive seen as recently as a few weeks a go a lil white girl not more than 16 slander the fuck out this gay dude at least 10 years her senior and pepper spray his ass. Own yourself as a black individual and release those chains of mental slavery stop complaining about bullshit stereotypes about who is behind or who is in front because than attitude itself does more divisive damage between blacks themselves and other races than anything.
Concentrate on bringing up your own family and leave it at that.
April 6th, 2011 at 4:27 pm
I respect personal blog, family, liking Mr.Cee and all that, but what I don’t respect is that when you first mention it, you hide behind the co-sign of 50.
You could of said what you said without needing a 50 endorsement first. Thats the non hip-hop sucker route. I respect 50 for keeping it clean by basically saying “yeah he did it, but he still is and always will be Mr.Cee, what he does doesn’t change who he is and was to the game!”
But I take it that you don’t like Chris Brown or rely on as credible resources prior to posting the GMA stuff. All and all, you could have done it with out the 50 buffer because of the exact excuses you used to justify not saying anything!
I like and dig your blog, but that’s your peoples, get in front of it instead of behind 50.
April 6th, 2011 at 4:27 pm
yea, i’m aware of that. hence my question.
for example, if the demographic was TX, NC or even ATL, the answer would be a resounding no.
but i’m wondering if NY is willing to crack that barrier? Or if hip-hop being the ultra-hetero entertainment that it is will trump the notion of NYC liberalness.
April 6th, 2011 at 4:28 pm
my conversation with 50 happened on monday. he wasn’t the reason for the timing of the post.
April 6th, 2011 at 4:28 pm
…sooooo how was the movie?
Info + Angie – 50 = Boneriffic!
April 6th, 2011 at 4:32 pm
50 is justifying it because he’s suspect his damn self.
April 6th, 2011 at 4:32 pm
doesn’t matter. still a fail. act like an adult, get a hotel room.
April 6th, 2011 at 4:40 pm
I Love your blog Info! You and your team along wit a few helpers stay providing us with the current sh*t! Never stop doing what you do!!!
April 6th, 2011 at 4:46 pm
This doesn’t change my opinion of mister cee. He gave us Biggie. 50 really surprised me with his compassion and his opinion.
April 6th, 2011 at 4:58 pm
haha…”radio jocks”
April 6th, 2011 at 5:01 pm
u over analyzing the situation.u seriously have a whole theory(really tho? a theory?)about a clip barely 3 min.long?some of yall need a life, dropping paragraphs an sh*t like u a family friend.comment and keep it pushin.
April 6th, 2011 at 5:18 pm
Exactly. I only wanted too hear from 3 people. Info and Cee. And I realized, with good reason that may not happen. And I’m cool with that.
Unfortunately A LOT of people are showing their true colors right now and it’s not a pretty sight.
April 6th, 2011 at 5:21 pm
As to your reply up above, I did comment and keep it movin. I didn’t write a dang dissertation. I’m at work and this didn’t take up much of time, I promise, I type pretty fast.
Maybe theory was the wrong word to use, but my point about being suspect of Curtis’ motives stands.
April 6th, 2011 at 5:23 pm
You agree with equating smoking with homosexuality?
I get the larger point that was being made and it’s a start, but at some point you have to not look at them as some monolithic group who need to be accepted as a community in the first place. How bout don’t bash anybody and be cool with people you are cool with for whatever reason and even if historically that hasn’t included gay folks, know that one day it might.
April 6th, 2011 at 5:28 pm
I believe Miss Info was embarrassed as this incident was a reflection of the reality of blogs, gossip, social media and the reporting of it. At some point you are forced to deal with it when it makes it’s way around to you, and it eventually will. Mister Cee embarrassed a ton of friends and family and as when a judge or cop get’s busted himself for whatever, their peers, co-workers are kind of shamed and sometimes report or react with rose colored glasses. We are now in a time where EVERYTHING is micro-scoped (sometimes unwillingly sometimes willingly-TWITTER)..and we have to ask ourselves if it ain’t worth sharing..don’t share…or don’t do at all. Hot 97 is in a bind, but ultimately there are bigger things worth mentioning without ignoring the obvious. Mister Cee the Legendary DJ is bi-sexual and that’s OK for him. Don’t hide behind a denial. Miss Info, everything is fair when you’re living in the city!
Be.
April 6th, 2011 at 5:32 pm
Getting caught in public with a hooker – of any gender – is going to put any kind of celebrity on the front page.
That said, I think it’s a shame that it’s 2011 and people (in hip hop) still need to hide their sexuality. In just about any other music genre, most people don’t give a damn who is gay.
Edit to say: I’m not blaming anyone who does hide it, it’s pretty much career suicide unfortunately.
April 6th, 2011 at 5:37 pm
why would I personally be embarrassed? that doesn’t make sense. I’m not in an position where I have to fit the “tough hip hop” stereotype. Everyone knows that I anti-homophobia. I’m concerned for his well-being, but I’m not personally embarrassed.
I’m gonna be honest. I’ve been reading the comments all day, and answering a lot of them. But I gotta get some work done now. And I’m also mentally exhausted from trying to figure out how to politely disagree with some things. There are def comments that bring up good points, and I know that the limitations on me have been frustrating for some readers. I’m not proud of that. But I’m also not about to just let folks tell me what my thinking is or motivation is or what I knew or didn’t know…or that I lied or whatever. That’s not fine by me. So I tried to address some of that.
But I think we got some stuff accomplished….laters.
April 6th, 2011 at 5:50 pm
I’ll take your word. And on second read the language “hide” is strong. It does and did seem odd to get a Mr.Cee Old School at Noon downloadable link without mention.
I saw and heard the Mr.Cee arrest stuff from multiple places and came to Missinfo.tv to get Cee’s perspective or some type of biased opinion in his favor and was shocked to see “silent support” from the person who reports on “celebrity gossip/drama”
It may not be true, but it appears that 50 helped you find your public voice in the matter. But hey, you can’t always expect to get the celebrity drama from the ice skating celebrity who garnered their celebrity by being a bright flood light exposing the other skaters on her pond.
April 6th, 2011 at 6:00 pm
You are embarrassed and disappointed and that’s normal. All I’m saying is you are playing in a game on a firing range and sometimes people close to us get shot. We protect the shield, that’s OK..but you are held to a higher standard because of the business you are in unlike metaphorically a thug in the street.
Take care of that homework.
Be.
April 6th, 2011 at 6:09 pm
omg. dude. what part of this don’t you fucking understand. I AM NOT EMBARRASSED. My fucking higher standard is self-imposed and is not compromised by this situation in any way. You sound retarded. And I can tell from the other shit you’re saying that you’re not retarded….so snap out of it.
LOL, this actually made me laugh. So I guess…..thank you.
April 6th, 2011 at 6:09 pm
Reminds me of the fat dude off The Soprano’s.good ol Vito.
April 6th, 2011 at 6:20 pm
Fair is fair…and it’s ‘fair’ to say that certain ‘other’ people caught in this situation would be eaten alive….but w/that said; maybe the collective ‘industry community’ should stop fostering that kind of atmosphere…and maybe I would be able to shake this nausiating feeling of ‘insider double standards’! PEACE.
April 6th, 2011 at 6:24 pm
Ok [miss info]. As long as we have that understanding.
Be.
April 6th, 2011 at 6:26 pm
We can argue all day about this topic. In a perfect world, everyone would just be cool with each other. But in this world, people have preferences in who they choose to associate with. I have family members who are gay that I’m very close to. At the same time, I don’t for my own reasons, agree with the homosexual lifestyle. That probably won’t change. But I still don’t love them any less because of that. I just don’t agree with what they do.
April 6th, 2011 at 6:31 pm
homie, I’m not sure about anything today….except that we don’t have an understanding.
April 6th, 2011 at 6:39 pm
Whether or not someone is ‘gangsta’ or not has nothing to do with their sexuality. Last I checked he’s never been on radio bashing homosexuals. There are a lot of gangstas in prison and now out on the streets that have laid up with men so your statement has no ground to stand on. This gangsta culture that you speak of is the same culture that praises criminality. Where do criminals wind up, prison? What happens in prison? I sure hope I don’t have to tell you. Gay or not he’s still a man and if someone were to step to him, I’m sure he’d fight you like a man.
April 6th, 2011 at 6:40 pm
Yh i agree alhough the cases put forward are valid in specific places/cultures ( e.g.jamaica). But just recently a young white girl and 2 white boys were charged with the murder of a gay man in the center of london. they just punched and kicked him to the ground etc. They were all white. I say this to say this: I Agree taht it is not just the “black community”
April 6th, 2011 at 6:41 pm
Well we have an understanding of the way you feel and the way you report on news, rumors,gossip and that’s what’s understandable.
We must protect the shield.
White Flag status, darling.

April 6th, 2011 at 6:57 pm
nope. no “we” in this back and forth.

cee is a [edit]
April 6th, 2011 at 6:58 pm
um…..what the guy does is his biz. I was truly shocked when I heard this stuff about him……BUT let’s look at hot 97 aka hot mess. shootouts, female talk show hostess’ fightin, racists remarks, now people gettin head around the corner from the building….I wonder 2 things….1-what is big daddy kane saying? 2-how much longer will hot 97 last at their present location?
April 6th, 2011 at 7:03 pm
And Also…i really dont rate 50 for dissing Whoo Kid like that. I Met Whoo Kid on the plane last wednesday and he seems real humble and hes even been helping uk artists to “break america”. 50 showed dude no respect there. SMH!
April 6th, 2011 at 7:07 pm
Ok Inf, I just understand you a little more.
You’ve been a blast, take care.

April 6th, 2011 at 7:11 pm
gotcha. you too. even though you made my eyes roll to the back of my head today, I still appreciate the visit and the input.
April 6th, 2011 at 7:12 pm
You know whats funny. Joe Budden had a video about how fickle the hip hop community is. How at the drop of a dime the guy is disrespected and folk front like he wasn’t on top for quite a long time in this game. I didn’t think much of it, but in this a more serious matter, looking at how we attack each others views and opinions. We attempt over analyze people we never met. And for some thrive on ignorance. It’s no longer a surprise why hip hop never seems to reach it’s full potential.
We have a lot of growing up to do…..
April 6th, 2011 at 7:19 pm
Certainly.
I’ll be back remember my name, next time I’ll keep your eyes from rolling.
Be.
April 6th, 2011 at 7:23 pm
I’m surprised that 50 gave that kind of response to that but it shows you how much he’s grown.
But when it comes to Mr. Cee, I think he gonna have to deal with this situation for a long time but to banish him from Hip-Hop and what he’s done for New York City Hip Hop, is beyond my comprehension.
My policy always been if you gay, you keep that to your self, away from me and I’m not gonna taunt you til you kill ya self. Just do you.
I wish the guy well.
But that explains why I haven’t seen a Miss Info post. I hope you start handling more of these posts, no offense to North and Fresh.
We love our girl, Miss Info.
April 6th, 2011 at 7:56 pm
Yeah but if it was Khaled caught would 50 still be so supportive of the situation.
The answer is NO btw
Can you say … Hypocrisy !!
April 6th, 2011 at 9:00 pm
It doesnt surprise me that 50 would have a comment like this. People like 50, Diddy, & Jay-Z are more open minded to things like this (not necessarily picking up a gay prostitute, but being bi-sexuality/openly gay) because of the other businesses they are in, such as fashion and movies. Hip-Hop doesnt condone being gay, but in other industries, being gay is open and accepted. Other rappers in this game are not going to have the same opinion as 50.
The thing with Cee is, is that he needs to issue a statement or something. This isnt just going to be “swept under the rug” or forgotten about. And being pissed off at the “haters” and NYPD is just making the situation worse.
Cee is legend in NYC Hip-Hop. I dont have problem with his sexuality, but Im a little more open minded than other people. He’s still a great DJ and is like an encyclopedia of Hip-Hop knowledge.
Just come clean and tell the truth.
April 6th, 2011 at 9:45 pm
Hypocrisy is a word that has been thrown around a lot dealing with 50 today.. It’s as if people are shocked, baffled, or lost to the facts that he is a friend of 50.. Ofcourse 50 would clown that nigga Khaled.. They don’t like each other.. So using him as an excample would not fit the case.. Mr. Cee is an industry friend in the eyes of 50.. And just for the sake of the topic nobody wants to see their friend in a messed up state like this is.. Maybe if you used someone who doesn’t have bad blood with 50 I could see your point.. But guys who he dislikes not so much..
April 6th, 2011 at 9:45 pm
of course 50 not gonna be supportive if khaled got caught, cuz khaled is not 50’s boy, 50 must of know cee for a while soo he trying to back him up , yea 50 is hypocritical , he makes moves that are gonna work for him ,what best serves his intrest like ever other artist , business man does i dont see how this is soo shocking !what 50 is supposed to be some fair and balanced type of dude,
and wtfff why are people mad at 50 for sayin he would replace whoo kid with cee, umm i think 50 and whoo kid have good enough relationship to know how to take that comment with no one getting hurt with that statement , i doubt 50 gonna replace whoo kid , and it would be the first time 50 would have a dj cuz we all know whoo kid aint not no dj
April 6th, 2011 at 9:47 pm
Who’s the 3rd person?
April 6th, 2011 at 10:11 pm
The Authorities. Thought I had typed that.
April 6th, 2011 at 10:18 pm
The big prob is the way Mister Cee put his business out there in a car on the street. No matter who or what you are, thats some damn fool shit there.
You wanna keep your sexuality private, thats your damn choice but don’t put it out in the street dog. Hire a muthafuckin hotel room. It don’t matter if you’re straight, gay or bi – everybody who’s known will have shit talked about them if they get caught in public sexing or being sexed by someone esp if it’s paid and esp if its a tranny cause they’re not seen as the kinda person to get with.
Stop all the paranoia. When stupid whitey muthafuck actor Hugh Grant got caught having sex in public it was news. Mister Cee is famous in the hiphop and Black communities so it’s news.
But let the man live, it should be news for 5 mins and then finish. Mister Cee aint never got rich and done the dirty on his peoples who watched his back, helped him get cashed up and put him on. If you’re gonna judge the Mister Cees, judge the Jay Zs more esp for their toxic influence on the youth and their shallow screwed up attitude that makes em the favorites of corporate whiteys.
The Jay Zs also got more hiding away in their closet and aint got the courage of other famous people who came out.
April 6th, 2011 at 10:28 pm
On the real this aint the first shit been said bout cee and trannies I heard some shit a few yrs ago but that don’t take away from what he do as a dj but stop the tough talk and the bs hip hop cop excuse he sayin hip hop cop started the rumor so file a complaint say what u got arrested for the nigga a fun boy just admit it cee been in the game since 87 I’m pretty ppl in the industry already know keep it real that’s what wrong with hip hop ppl not being real to themselves or the hip hop culture if ppl can say rick ross lying ass is cool he just a entertainer same could be said for cee he aint gonna lose points cause he gay he lose them by lying cee funny style but he can dj he aint the only homo at hot97 his man flex sweat too always attacking women plus I think if he come out it would be good for hip hop it would bring some realness back to the game they accept ross,wayne,baby and more fakes who r less creditable in hip hop cee would be good long as he real
April 6th, 2011 at 10:30 pm
I have a question for you Info.. Do you think any other rapper will make as strong a statment as 50 did with this interview.. Or will they tap dance around due to not being in a space money wise where they can speak there minds as freely as 50 has done since day one.. Just curious…
April 6th, 2011 at 10:35 pm
The problem with silence is that it invites speculation and rumor.
It’s definitely a tough call given your relationship with him.
Personally, I don’t like that the Smoking Gun is riding the wave of publicity. Something about the tone of their writing didn’t sit well…and if that ain’t Cee on Twitter then their motivation is somewhat misguided.
I’m not a media relations expert but maybe the people going at you would have been stymied if you said something like, “Out of respect for my co-worker and friend, Mr.Cee, I have decided to refrain from commenting until further information is available about the recent news surrounding him.”
April 6th, 2011 at 11:06 pm
if you look at the comments from the ppl who complained the most…I don’t think that would have assuaged their rage. In all honestly, that statement also doesn’t fully convey the situation because it’s not all my choice.
As for the Smoking Gun…I know what you mean about tone. And yes, from what I understand, that is not Mr. Cee. It might be someone who knows him. But it’s not him or his spokesperson. But I do think they have reliable sourcing methods.
April 6th, 2011 at 11:12 pm
Anybody who visits any blog and doesn’t see a bias of any kind is either retarded or lying to themselves. It’s all about what you’re willing to take in.
I laugh when I read comments claiming Inf is biased and only reports on stuff she wants and ignores other things like this is a new revelation that she hides behind. I’ve seen her or Mikey trump the “if you don’t like it, thanks for the visit (paraphrasing)” line so many times that I think they have it saved on a notepad file.
And anybody put in the same position who claims they wouldn’t be handling the situation the same way is either lying, dumb as hell, delusional, or putting someone on a higher pedestal because their work is public. She views her employer as family, it amazes me that people are commenting as if they wouldn’t hold situations with family closer to the vest than other transgressions.
Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one on the internet with common sense.
April 6th, 2011 at 11:14 pm

That dude is no longer “Legendary” Mister Cee. His [edited]! I hate when reporters throw light on everyone else, but when it’s somebody they know. (Info) Everybody trying to sweep it under the rug!and say I’m gonna still ride with him!! We don’t know what really happened!! WHHAAAT?????? He was caught having sex with another MAN!!!!!! And HIP HOP is cool with that????? This is what the elders are teaching the young kids listening to hip-hop. Oh he’s an elder. He gave us Biggie. So it’s cool. F, ole [edit] mr. cee and F, who rides with him. This is not the hip hop I love and show the kids growing up. It is much purer than that. Mr. Cee got caught with his pants down. And he should get CALLED on it!!! That’s the rules of HIP HOP!

If it’s possible? Could you please delete my comments, since my thoughts and expressions were [edited] and totally confuses the point, to the readers.

Wow! Reading some of these comments..its no wonder Hip Hop..and the world as a whole is the way it is right now SMH…pee on young girls, kiss your “fake” daddy on the lips, get head from trannys in public then deny it..as long as you make or play hot music, its ALL ACCEPTABLE?…FUCK THAT, I’m not falling for it. What’s worse than these dudes doing the bullshit they’re doing is them DENYING IT. I respect homosexuals who are out there with it, at least they’re being real with themselves & the people around them. But all this down-lo homo shit that y’all are condoning and giving a “pass” too?..when minorities have the highest AIDS and STD rate in America, then you wonder why. Not saying all down lo homosexuals have STD’s but if you’re hiding who you are as a person, why wouldn’t you hide what you have? SMH People have been desensitized and lost sight of the fact that deceit, whether your deceiving yourself or your family and friends will always lead to negative situations for yourself and your community as a whole. You reap what you sow, whether you know it or not…and those from LG know this is Mista Cee’s karma so I have NO SYMPATHY for the position that Mista Cee, a grown ass man who should’ve know better got himself into. R.I.P. Hip Hop and the values it once stood for.

well if you need to use homophobic slurs in order to communicate your “thoughts and expressions” than you’re probably right…not a good fit. I wasn’t confused about your opinions, even with the edits.
April 7th, 2011 at 2:32 am
i always thought it was odd that someone would have rumors about being gay and/or exhibiting homosexual behavior, unless it was true. i mean who has “many many” rumors about being gay… am i crazy?

co-sign on the whoo kid comments. whoo kid knows what it is.

Y’all talk shit about 50 but he aint nowhere near as gay/bi dissing as Tupac was. Tupacs a legend, always will be, but the man in his last coupla years talked negative, bitchass gossip shit about Dr Dre and used a hellova lot of anti gay trash talk in his videos and interviews.
50 aint hating on gays and bis, he just coming on with the trashtalk that hiphop and the Black community use. To the poster who said that 50, Diddy and Jay Z are more tolerant of gays cause they around them in their biz like fashion etc, aint you know that Diddy call himself “metrosexual” in an interview?
Thats code for bisexual, no matter how much Diddy and co threatened Wendy Williams before when she talked about DL rappers and music biz execs. Diddys got a reputation and that aint for nothing.
Jay Z got a reputation too but there’s less photos of him with gay whiteys, and its Diddy that’s been photod putting his hands in gay men friends pockets and at gay clubs. Ex Kansas Chiefs running back Larry Johnson got a reputation for being on the DL and he and Jay Z was very close before.
Its not so much they more tolerant because of their business – look at it as probably the other way around. Diddy and Jay Z get on cause they got something in common with a lot of the closeted players in the music world who have the power in the music biz and can give people their record labels and the presidency of Def Jam etc.
As for 50, I don’t care if the man is on the DL, he aint squealing about rumors and aint threatening legal action. He aint give a nickel about muthafucking rumors of his sexuality. He supports Mister Cee cause he knows a hiphop legend aint less of a legend cause of private preferences that he was a dumbass about expressing.
Mister Cee deserves respect for his contribution to hiphop. When Biggie got snuffed Mister Cee was fucking lost for a time and now we know that Big aint a bigot about sexual prefs (see Dream Hampton’s tweets)its more understandable. Move on and let the man make his music and respect him for that.

Dang!
after reading all that lemme say this;
In relation to the comments about Inf, Yes when something is close to home you handle it carefully, that’s just human nature but I dont think that Inf is really tight with Cee like that. (im not stating that as fact, its just my observation) Inf said she knows and likes Cee not “that’s my homie I’ma ride for him till the death” or words to that effect, which leads me to believe that her so called “Silence” is due to obligations to her company/employer. don’t get it twisted Inf keeps it real and above all professional and that’s why we keep coming back here.
as far as Cee is concerned
he is a legend – FACT
he got caught with a man in a car – FACT
he could have been deceived – FACT
none of us were there or know the truth – FACT
ive read all the comments with concern for the hip hop culture, black culture if he is gay blah blah blah. how this is gonna hurt hot97 if he’s gay yadda yadda.
the biggest fact (to me) in this whole saga is that he was being unfaithful. what about the hurt caused to his wife n kids huh? people talking bout get a hotel room, would that make it ok? im sayin nah.
people make mistakes yes, we all do. the issue here is not homosexuality it is the deceit that exists within our society. black, white, asian, polka dot doesn’t matter.
i wish Cee and his family the best and hope they can come through this whole situation.
bless
April 7th, 2011 at 8:13 am
*** FACT: Mr Cee is funny style’d!!! basicaly he is HOMO and thats all there is to it. no myths, no setups, no deception. The man knows what he was doing and he has mental problems, because even as a straight man I dont see myself doing drive by sticking out my joint out the window, as a teenager maybe, has a 40+ yr old man? never.
lol CEE is homo he should just admit it and move on. ban this fake from the airwaves!! These dudes are HOMOS but want to look tough in the spotlight.
Wendy WIlliams success was due to SKELETOR who had the downlow and Steve Stouts brother, Dj Clue, Russell Simmons and Run. Add CEE to the HOMO CLUB!!!
lol
April 7th, 2011 at 9:16 am
Some of you are borderline retarded..saying a whole bunch of nothing..i mean,paragraphs of crap at that,lol.
April 7th, 2011 at 9:46 am
no doubt miss info im not gonna front i was kinda surpirse i really thought u would have put out ya personal feelings on it sooner i remember when it first drop i was like damm i cant wait to see what info says about it the next day …and i was like wow she havent said a word so i figure the station probably told you not 2. but to hear ya statement about it now i definitely cosign ya view on it you know thats your friend so this is a real personal matter to you. thats like if that happen to one of my friends im not gonna jus run and be likie “ooh shit cant believe this blah balh blah” you gonna be like okay ima wait till he actually address it. and on the real who gives a fuk now and days about that .. if this was a decade ago then i could see the reason why people are going crazy because it wasnt a common thing i think now that its seen on a wide scale now and its i wouldnt say its accepted its jus known cuz u see it openly everyday that even with him its like okay thats what he does … the only thing cee did wrong was doing it in the public and with a prostitute. thats like if he had a female prostitute would it be okay?? no you would be like why?? if u get down like that do it somewhere inside a hotel or something you know. so i feel you miss info … cee should jus say someething if tis not true state it and jus move on and keep spining them records and we can move on with otha shit in the world you know.

malcom x was bisexual too
google it
April 7th, 2011 at 11:45 am
“would new york city (one of the most socially liberal cities in the nation) allow an openly gay radio DJ to continue to host a hip-hop (one of the most homophobic genres of music) radio show?”
True but Cee would have to admit that he’s gay, which probably won’t happen considering that I heard he is a married man.
April 7th, 2011 at 12:51 pm
I like miss info, but i believe she doing the exact same thing Mr. Cee is doing…..Dancing around the truth instead of coming out straight forward. Mr. Cee should have addressed this once it first happened instead of playing people for idiots and saying it was a set up and wasn’t true, yet the police report is RIGHT THERE and he hasn’t refuted it. Miss info giving this long a** reason of why she isn’t reporting the story instead of just saying because she works for the company and if she did publish such a story it would jeopardize her employment and friendship with Mr. Cee. I think it looks better on both their parts just by being real. It seems to me that they both are playing themselves for no reason!!!!!
April 7th, 2011 at 12:55 pm
Since when was metrosexual code for bisexual? It’s a stupid phrase thought up by people to describe the modern man who spends alot of time and money on their appearance, puff being puff does that, aint nothing to do with actual sexuality..just because it includes the word sexual.
April 7th, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Gott’em !
April 7th, 2011 at 1:48 pm
miss info cute asfuck
April 7th, 2011 at 5:11 pm
Mr C was not arrested for being gay. He was arrested for committing a lewd (sexual) act in public. Children listen to Hot 97.1… Children know who Mr. C is… An example should be set of him to offset the message inadvertently being sent, that public consumption of a sexual act is OK socially. ITS NOT. Gay. Straight. Alien. Whatever.
April 7th, 2011 at 8:41 pm
In the club Mr cee will stop the music to call a guy in the party a homo, or a woman a stuck up bitch. Then dares anyone to step to him because “i’m from Brooklyn”.
He and flex talk so much trash about the djs at power that it takes away from their skills. he’s thrown too many stones, so people won’t accept him being bi or whatever he is.
April 8th, 2011 at 11:17 am
This is ridiculous. Gays are being treated like blacks in the 1950’s, and it’s funny and hypocritical that it’s usually by blacks.
You guys seem to have a one-drop rule for gays. You could be heterosexual your whole life, and if you have just one same sex experience, you are gay. WTF?
Labels are unnecesssary, this man could have some gay tendencies, but not necesarily be completely gay.
Furthermore, if he was with a tranny, only predominantly straight men fetichize that. Gay men are not into trannies.
Grow a brain please, or at least get a little information about what you guys are talking about!!!
April 9th, 2011 at 1:52 pm
Black America is doomed !
April 9th, 2011 at 8:16 pm
Wow MissInfo…how you let somebody come on here and talk about black people like that (Steven) and not allow my post in response? SMH I used to give you the benefit of the doubt but now I see you’re the culture vulture people say you are.
April 9th, 2011 at 10:08 pm
sorry you feel that way. I actually have no idea what you’re talking about. I’ll look for Steven’s comment and if it’s racist, I’ll delete it. As for your post, again, no clue.
April 9th, 2011 at 10:12 pm
ok, just did a search….a person named steven said “This is ridiculous. Gays are being treated like blacks in the 1950’s, and it’s funny and hypocritical that it’s usually by blacks….”
While you may not agree with that statement (and personally, I don’t agree that homophobia is predominantly committed by any one race, it seems to be a problem in many cultures) it doesn’t seem overtly racist. Just overly assuming.
And none of this has anything to do with someone being a culture vulture. So either you don’t understand what that term means, or you just grasping at straws because you’re pissed about your comment moderation. Sorry about your comment moderation. Not sorry about anything else.
