My man Star finally did it. I remember star from way back when he was doing Around the Way Connections. Star was running his magazine and I was running mine. We used to kick it. Then he took it to Public Access Television and started the Hater Show… Then he took it to MTV and the show didn’t last long, then he found the radio…The rest, as they say, is history.

Listen, I never agreed with the whole “hater” thing. I much prefer the positive direction that Steve Harvey’s show has taken. The thing is that I knew Star “back when” as they say. His recent attack on DJ Envy’s children is unspeakable. I can’t even imagine having a family member threatened on the radio, let alone, a child. First, it was the Aaliyah drama and now he’s threatening DJ Envy’s kids? For those who don’t remember, he used a plane crashing sound when Aaliyah passed.

Bottom line, I don’t know what happened over these years since I knew the man and I don’t fault him completely. He was provided with a platform where any “ANYTHING GOES” performance was not only indulged, but encouraged. It’s a harsh human fact, nobody wants to crash, but everyone will stop to watch an accident.  I send out my regards and only positive thoughts to both DJ Envy’s and Star’s family as well. May we find our common humanity somewhere in the cloud of the personal and tumultuous storms that most of us showcase on the surface.
