DJ Mister Cee, real name Calvin LeBrun, has resigned from his post as a
deejay and an on-air personality at New York WQHT Hot 97. He had been with the
station for 20 years. The station said in a press release that today (September
11) will be DJ Mister Cee’s final show on Hot 97, according to hiphopdx.com.
Hot 97 released the following statement regarding DJ Mister
Cee’s departure.
“Due to some personal circumstances that have become public, after 20 years of service, Mr Cee has chosen to resign,” according to a statement from Hot 97. “We feel that this is in the best interest of both Hot 97 and Cee’s personal well-being. While we do not endorse the alleged activities, he is clearly facing a personal dilemma that is for him and only him to comment on. We are saddened by his departure; his contributions here at Hot 97 were great and we know him as a friend, a caring individual and significant Hip Hop advocate. We wish Mr Cee the best and will always consider him a family member of Hot 97.”
On May 3, DJ Mister Cee was arrested in New York City after allegedly soliciting sex
from an undercover male police officer posing as a prostitute. (See Original Posting, Click Here.)
After that arrest, DJ Mister Cee appeared on HOT 97’s
morning show May 6 to discuss the incident he says he believes was "a
sting operation.” While speaking with program director Ebro Darden, the radio
personality discussed his sexual orientation.
"I am not gay," Mister Cee said at the time,
according to MTV News. "They tried to turn it around and say the female
officer was a male officer. It was a sting operation."
Mister Cee found himself in a similar situation in 2011 when
he pled guilty to public lewdness and exposure charges after being arrested for
allegedly engaging in a sexual act with a man in a parked car.
