On Friday Dec 17, 2010, Hot 97 Morning Show Co-host K-Fox mentioned that she had brought back condoms with her from a benefit for Haiti held the night before. The condoms were given out to prevent the spread of AIDS. Co-host Cipha Sounds then made the following derogatory statement: "I don't have to worry about AIDS because I don't mess with Haitian women". Almost immediately after his comments, all over facebook & twitter, tempers were flaring and people were/are calling for the dismissal of Hot 97 on-air radio personality Cipha Sound. As a direct result of this, later in the day during the 'Throwback At Noon Show' Cipha Sound came back on air to apologize about the "joke" he made earlier. The apology seemed to be an attempt to save his job. No word yet as to what course of action [if any] will be taken by Hot 97. Let's see what happens next...
(NOTE: some sources are quoting Cipha Sounds as saying: "I'm HIV negative because I don't mess with Haitian girls".)
