Mike Epps appeared Friday morning in Rochester New York on the
WDKX morning show. Rumor has it that he almost beat up host Tariq for trying to
play him out. This is how it went down, from what”s been relayed. Tariq compared
Mike”s roles from some that are pimpish to one of his earliest roles as a gay
man in The Sopranos (1999). Anyway, Mike reportedly was traveling quite a lot
and was unnerved by the nasal voice of Tariq. Eventually, the line of questioning
grew Mike to say he would "check a punk quick" to Tariq. I also heard
that Mike dropped the N-Word on-air, something many regarded as disrespectful
to Black History Month. Now, when the mics were turned off, I heard it didn”t
stop. I heard Mike say that he”d be listening and if Tariq tried to play him out
when he left, he would be right back. To play fair, I was told that Tariq is a
good guy, family man and not a street-oriented dude in the least. Mike never came
back so all is well, I think.
