Outside of Hot 97 yesterday morning, community leaders called for the termination of Cipha Sounds for his on-air joke about Haitian women and AIDS last week. Although he apologized, Ciph was subsequently suspended from the station indefinitely.

This is the biggest crock of shit ever! Anyone who listens to the show knows that they make fun of everyone equally, including jewish and black people. Somebody is trying to benefit from this and it will reveal itsself soon enough.
He needs to be in your ‘YOU PLAYED YOURSELF’ section
ok someone now update the “u played urself” section…. while everyone else blows it out of proportion…
Really? It was a joke.
This was no where near the “Tsunami Song”
Haitians want to be part of american but still talk in that creole crap
Fire K. Foxx and keep Ciph!
Juan Epstein is GOAT!
This was no where near the “Tsunami Song”
^
gotta agree.
Yea they make fun of everybody but there still has a line..that joke has so many racial/cultural undertones..and don’t get wrong I love cyph as a dj but wat he did was 100% foul and anyone who thinks otherwise may have to check themselves..if hot97 didn’t suspend him (which of course they had too) he shoulda suspended himself..n as for @Random..I guess you one of those pple who wanna make English “the official language” of the US and get mad when you call n recordings say “if you want English press 1”..smh
@mod85 yep
THIS IS RIDICULOUS !!!!!! IT WAS JUST A JOKE ! CALM DOWN .. They joke on EVERYBODY on that show including THEMSELVES ! They should be ashamed of themselves for even protesting this crap.
Normally I rock with Cthgod, but hes a clown for this one. Pretty sure he knows just like we do that cyph makes fun of everyone including spanish dudes. Shits not that serious.
suspended over the holidays is a good look. I might try some shit at my work to get some days off.
this has been blowin way out of purportion. It was a joke people. RELAX
dj whoo kid is next haha
Charlamange Tha God raised some very interesting points, about them not being remorseful but then afterward came off like he was marketing 105.1 lol.
Who he think he is chris rock lol! This isnt nothing new so why is they tripping now? Seem like a publicity stunt to me.
YEAH, I GUESS IT WAS A TASTELESS CLASSLESS JOKE BY A FAT SPIC!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
FUCK THE HAITIANS!!!!
I agree, he should have gotten suspended. That was just low-brow.
Peter Rosenberg is a TRUE DICKRIDER anyway…he is a smile in your face and talk shit about you type of punk ass bitch. He comes out of his mouth negative about certain artists but when called on it he bitch up!
I see where y’all coming from, it was a joke, I get it, but how would y’all feel if someone said “aids came from black people”?? obviously he didnt say that, but he might as well!
The Tsunami song was tasteless, the Aaliyah plane crash song was tasteless as well, and this falls in that category. None is worse than the other, they were all tasteless and insensitive! There’s limits to jokes and that is what some dont understand.
I wouldnt wish being fired on anyone but you have to pay for your actions. That is the only way some will grow the fcuk up!

Haitian people took it too far. with this protests bullshit over some lil’ joke
“i don’t got aids because i dont mess with haitian women ” wow who’s honestly going to think all haitian women got hiv/aids cuz of this wack joke.
is this the only attention haitian people get. that they have to jump on a bandwagon of a joke.
charlamagne is funny as hell, but i know he aint talkin that nigga always talkin shit lol
CTheGod is ridiculous.
That joke could have been one of his….
What a hypocrite.
@ Mr.Zee lol
Ppl already know Whoo Kid is crazy as hell. Nobody messing with him and he’s on satellite radio where pretty much anything goes. He’s Haitian also, I wonder if he has something to say, probably something like “I don’t mess with Haitian girls either. Lol ”
Charlamange sounds like a real sucka @ the end of his rant.
nothing new, another attempt to get rid of a morning show host on hot 97, fuck what he said, ANYONE THAT EVER EVEN LISTENS TO THE MORNING SHOWS KNOW THIS IS MILD 4 CIPH!! EVERYONE TAKING THIS HATE THING TOO FAR, PUT YOUR PANTIES BACK ON AND CRY LIKE A BEYOTCH
yaaaaa it was a joke ….. the same lame old excuses smdh wait till they say some shit about white people then we will all call it a jock as usual
The mouth sometimes can bring out swords instead of happyness
If he were black this wouldn’t be a issue.
Ciph makes jokes on the reg about Ricans and knives/blades
CO-SIGN @C.J
BUT IF CHARLAMANGEASA WAS A G HE WOULD OFF CIPHA SOUNDS TOP
Where do we draw the line about cats disrespecting black women?? Not only was it a slap in the face to Haitians, but to black women as well. Then he does it in front of the Rosenberg dude, who went on air yesterday and said that all of this is just Bitchassness.
IM NOT GONNA FRONT WHEN I SEE ROSENBERG OUT AND ABOUT AGAIN IM GONNA CONFRONT HIM.
“NAPPY HEADED HOES”
^
YA’LL REMEMBER THAT??? THAT WAS JUST A JOKE!!!! BUT YA’LL GOT MAD RIGHT??? BET U IF A WHITE BOY WHO’S NOT IN THE HIP-HOP CIRCLE SAID THAT HAITIAN JOKE YA’LL WOULDN’T BE LAUGHIN’!!!! BUT I GUESS SINCE IT’S COMIN’ FROM A RICE & BEAN EATIN’ SPIC WHO’S A HIP-HOP DJ/HOST, YA’LL THINK ITS FUNNY!!!! HA!!!! YEAH, OKAY!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
fuck charlemen the queer you say hateful things too loser
Cosign @mac DIESEL for the first time ever. In all the bullshit I do I refuse to be hypocritical. That just aint me
@Ms.D ?cosign? Yeah i take it back this fool deserve that shit!! When you put yourself in their shoe that shit is very taste less! He haven’t got fire yet but he should of. So fuck cipha!!
If Cipha was a whiteboy niggas would be up in arms callin for this niggas head like they did with Imus. Ciphas a fuckin clown anyways. Same with that sellout nigga Charlamagne, Last week nigga was dissin and hatin on puff’s garbage ass album, now he’s puffys house nigga doing Ciroc commercials and Last train to paris promo’s.
im not sayin wha cipha said was aight but Charlamange Tha God????? really????? the irony
i guess if ur not a haitian female its ok…..riiiiiiiiiiiiight
And that is why i don’t mess with haitiian women. I hait them.
Keep it Real, everyone knows Haitians are a HIGH RISK group for HIV/AIDS. Ain’t nobody, with even half a brain, gonna be banging a Haitian, without a doctors note.
If I know a chick has dated a Haitian… I absolutely would not date her. Under no circumstances.
Now, was what he said Offensive to Haitians? Probably….. but I think what he said was a truth you can’t ignore.
HE APOLOGIZED BECAUSE IT BECAME AN ISSUE….WELL OF COURSE! JUST LIKE EVERYONE IN THE INDUSTRY DOES. IT WAS A JOKE, IT WAS TASTELESS, BUT A JOKE NONETHELESS.
I DONT FUCKS WITH CIPHA, HE’S A CLOWN.. IM GLAD HE LEFT SHADE 45 AND I DONT HAVE TO HEAR THAT CLOWN.
INSTEAD OF MAKING TASTELESS JOKES, TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY YOU HAVE ON THESE AIRWAVES FOR SOMETHING POSITIVE INTEAD OF CONSTANTLY TALKING SHIT ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE.
AND AS FOR CTHAGOD…
STFU HOMIE, YOU TALKED MAD SHIT ABOUT DIDDY, AND YOU BACKPEDALED LIKE A MOTHER FUCKER.
FALL BACK NIGGA YOU TALK ALOT OF BULLSHIT TOO.
FUCK that Stupid chipa sounds I rock with Tha God
I bet most poeple who got upset or protested won’t ever focus the same amount of energy into promoting safe sex or AIDS/HIV awarness within their communities. Instead they rather focus on trivial shit. And yeah Haitians are a high risk groups of having aids.
Charlamange did not say anything racist about Diddy…he said his album sucked totally different than saying ” i don’t have HIV because i don’t date Haitian women.”
CIPHA GOT GASSED!!
[…] himself had choice words for Cipha Sounds in response to the […]
THIS IS AMERICA!!!!! FREEDOM OF SPEECH…..NOT HAITI!!!!!!!!!! FUCK THEM DOOR RIDIN SHIT FLINGIN HAITINS…..
CHARLAMAGNE THINKS CUASE HES UGLY AS FUCK….THAT WE GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHAT HE SAYS ON THE RADIO……THAT NIGGA TALK SHITS ALL DAY……THROW EM UNDER THE BUS CHAR CAUSE YOUR NOT IN THE SPOTLIGHT WITH THAT DIDDY SHIT…..
This is all about ratings, not what Ciph said.
As a Haitian-American, I’m very disappointed…

LOL
[…] RR Did you like this? Share […]
Four things that obstruct the first amendment rights: Copyright, Libel/Slander, Obscenity, Right to Privacy.
What he said violates none of this in my opinion, slander being the closes. But its not exactly slander, because I’ve seen and heard worse stuff thats slanderous. Its not obscene either. I say we American people are a little too sensitive sometimes.
WHAT HE SAID WAS A STUPID JOKE BUT HOW COME NOBODY SAY ANYTHING WHEN DJ “FAT FUCK” KHALED AND FAT JOE A.K.A RAT JOE SCREAM THE WORD “NIGGA” ON THEIR RECORD.
please, its a joke, cypher make fun of puerto ricans too, he do rep the west indies heavy, yall making it a bigger issue then what it is. some people i see trying to do some al sharp shit saying they haition but they last name is american? and no accent? please spare that bull shit.
Charlamagne is a hypocrite. He aint no angel. DIdnt he get fired for making controversial remarks before?
im HIV negative becuase i dont mess with DC girls. is that wrong? they got high HIV rates too. now if i was a rap artist and said it, Wale would come out and Tabey Bonney would come out and try to get shine off that, thats all them clown so called leaders trying to do in NY. just like everybody a film maker now since the canon hdslr came out but dont know how to white balance with all there yellow tones in the video, every old head want to be some type of activist or polictail leader they kid heard somthing from the hip hop station and said somthing to there mom, the person that is making it a big deal probably dont even listen to that hip hop station and genre that is known to drop the N bomb and define success as money hoes and cloths, ho sit down. now i love all hoes but if the fact states somthing that i dont want then its my business and if i want to speak on it then freedom of speech. yall act like he said somthing wrong.
To take one piece of content from the endless amount of content that is available from this show and to all of a sudden blame it for being racist or insensitive is a complete waste of time, and unfortunately is going to cost this young man his career. The show is all about undertoned racism from a humor stand point. I am Haitian, and I cannot be upset just because yesterdays joke happened to be about Hatians. Everyday, the station runs promos about Puerto Ricans having too many kids, uncles just out of jail at the family christmas part and so on – Just listen to the STATION promo. I would say pretty racist and offensive if you were Puerto Rican, but for the sake of the show and it’s content – No one is, because ITS COMEDY. This is why radio sucks, tv sucks and any form of free expression within the entertainment field sucks – Simply because no one can have fun anymore without somehow offending someone.
Question should be for Haitians. When K Fox makes fun of herself for being black and not being able to get a cab, or Cipha himself not being able to get a cab because he is Spanish and lives in the Bronx, or lastly Rosenburg getting a cab easily because he is Jewish and then complaing about the fare because of the stereo type – Did you laugh? Was it funny? Why was it funny? Because it wasnt directed at you? Smarten up People. Life is too short.
Im haitian !! Most of my haitians are respectful(unless disrespected) Hard working and take care of there kids. the IGNORANCE on this blog is unbelievable talk junk cuz u not in front of a haitian of course like i said us haitians are proud of ourselves !!! cipha made a bad joke and hes payin the consequences if u dnt like it go suck on his nutz!!!!
YES, IM HAITIAN AS WELL but I am not going to get mad JUST when it happens to be that Haitians are being made fun of. Proudhaitianwoman – Are you mad at Sienfeld for makign fun of JEWS every single possible episode for the past 15 years on TV? Remember, it’s an even playing field for all. Let’s understand that. We can’t laugh at others, and then be upset once the joke is directed at us.
I appreciate your comments however. Happy holidays.
Look y’all, I’m Haitian and im not here to defend Charlamagne cuz there is obviously a conflict of interest wit him being on 105.1. Everything he said was scripted although i don’t doubt that there wasn’t any sincerity in it. I totally understand someone being a shock jock but there is a limit. Yeah I hear Cypha all the time making fun of his fellow Puerto Ricans and Jamaicans, and Peter of his fellow Jews and while those jokes are stereotypical in nature they aren’t as serious and as ignorant as saying you don’t mess with Haitian women because they have AIDS. I’m just as disgusted when people say AIDS came from Africa but I’m not offended when people make jokes about Haitians and Voodoo. I’m sure that most Jamaicans arent offended when jokes are made about them and weed, or how they bust theyre guns, or Jews about how frugal they are. Granted those are not things to be proud of but we accept them as stereotypes and can laugh. However, when it comes to a life or death thing and something so serious as basically saying the majority of a race has a deadly disease, that hurts and its ignorant. For a grown man to not understand that concept and not be able to filter what he is saying about people he claims to “ride” for is nonsense. I’m 28 and Cypha is older than me so there’s no excuse for that shit. Angie Martinez has been on the air since I was a little kid and never has she disrespected or said ignorant shit like that. I remember when Star and Buck used to be on the air and they used to joke around all the time about Haitians and Voodoo and that never bothered me because I know my African history, let alone my Haitian, thats nothing to be ashamed of. I thought it was mad foul when he did the plane crash thing with Aaliyah and he deserved to get fired then too. Joke or no joke, that was a life and death thing and so is AIDS. All you little motherfuckers on here saying “fuck the haitians” and all this ignorant shit have to remember that you’re of a particular race yourselves, if you’re black I pray to God that you’d have better sense than that. If you’re White I’d pray the same. Lets all stop being ignorant and understand the power of our words. Peace to all nationalities and people infected with HIV ALL over the world.
lol i dnt watch Sienfeld!! and becuz im haitian i will stand up and defend them if someone offened my race/ family imma stand up and say thats not right !!! if they(other races) dnt thats them. its not being makin FUN of theres nothin FUN or funny about HIV/AIDS it takes lives!!!!!
its not about being racist people, its simple.he’s a dumb fuck, with zero education….. it’s a desease, that millions of people suffer from. that’s nothing to joke around about.
Take the opportunity to get your target audience which is african american men and women, to get tested. that shit is nothing to make fun of, they come from a country that has been hurting for years. you have no idea what that feels like since you’re from this country.
Queenz – Great comment and rather intelligent just up unitl the point you start doing exactly what you are actually complaining about. You can’t start an intellectual point of personal view and then go on a tear calling people little mutha*#’s, Dont you see how that is being competely contradictuary. I’m actually 40 years old and have been in the business since i was 15. I’ve seen it all, and unfortunately have seen the level of great content disappear right before us simply due to this kind of outlashes for all the wrong reasons.
Of course HIV and it’s presence in this world is a serious issue and life and death the same. BUT IT’S COMEDY. Don’t listen to the show then. It’s not for you because you don’t understand that it’s COMEDY. It’s not literal, it’s not racist, it’s not mean or angrry, right or left winged – It’s COMEDY. COMEDY is an art – And good comedy has no boundaries. The show is by far not about anything serious – All you have to do is listen to it to understand that, and i rarely do so that’s saying a lot.
so agree queenz!!!!!!
I love listening to the juan epstein podcast and I know Cipha isn’t a racist. you got these fake al sharpton jesse jacksons of Haiti coming in saying this is a tragedy. Cipha Sounds MADE A JOKE and it wasn’t even about haitians that died in the earthquake. It was about Haitian girls having a high population of people with aids. that probably is true because this was in a news segment after all. So people need to stop with that earthquake nonsense cause it isn’t about that.
I wish Cipha Sounds woulda said yeah i made a joke it’s not a big deal if you’re offended get a fucking life. i’m a guy on the radio who plays songs for money. and people who listen to us want to listen to bullshit anyways.
The whole reason Ciph or anybody says shit like this is because the radio forces them to say shit like this. if rosenberg and ciph didn’t make fun of people and races nobody would listen to them. They got the best hip hop podcast the juan epstien podcast where they say what they really want but nobody gives a shit about that accept real heads. so they’re forced to make fun of race and make fun of people and the monster created by the people says something a little offensive then the people turn on him.
[…] Cipha Sounds Suspended from Hot 97 News story below. […]
@ Juan EpFan
read what queenz said. because apparently you don’t understand how disrespectful that statement really was
Especially towards women.. SMH he should be ashamed.
I wouldn’t fuck Cipha..not only because he’s ugly as fuck.. but because he’s an ignorant, disrespectful s.o.b, that even with a radio show, and some money in his pocket he’s still a dumb ass nigga!
Actually i think my time on this blog is about done – People, when critizing others for being dumb, please learn how to write and spell correctly in English first before posting.
Also, calling people dumb, N WORDS, guessing his/her finances makes it even worse. Can’t call the other guy ignorant, and post ignorant comments yourself.
Someone email me back a blog were we can speak intelligently if there is one that in fact exsits.
Happy Holiday from a lifelong Hip Hop Head! And as NAS SAID – HIP HOP IS DEAD! Thank you all for contributing to that fact.
Wow oh brother, how damn bored could they be????
This is why i do not fuck with facebook and twitter…because it gives the most ignorant people a voice…a small one but one……how can some of you be so insensitive about this…this is not a fucking joke..the man said something that hurt scores of people..he should be fired. he will be fired because the people will not allow him to continue to work there…..
when the white guy say nappy headed hoes…we went off on him…well guess what no matter if he is our kind or whatever..he too will be held to the same standard….
@ BIG WYLL RADIO
IF U PERSONALLY ASK CIPHA SOUNDS WOULD HE REALLY NOT FUCK WIT A HAITIAN WOMAN CUZ THEY ALL GOT AIDS, HE WOULD TELL YOU “YES”!!!! SO OBVIOUSLY IT WAS NOT A JOKE!!!! HE JUST SAID IT IN A FUNNY WAY TO COME OFF AS A JOKE!!!! I CAN’T FRONT, STEREOPTYPES JOKESE ARE SOMETIMES FUNNY BUT NOT STIGMAS!!!! WE’RE U LAUGHIN’ AT IMUS OR MICHAEL RICHARDS DROPPIN’ “N- BOMBS”??? I HOPE NOT!!!!
@ QUEENZ
COSIGN!!!! AGREE WIT EVERYTHING U SAID NIGGA!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Mac Diesel, u just made no sense. Who in their right mind would fuck a woman knowing damn well she had AIDS????
@ BIG WYLL RADIO
you know what? you’re absolutely right, I blacked out a little for a minute and I didn’t have to go the MF route but seeing how ignorant people get on the internet still bothers me. I totally understand that its a comedic show but why can’t it be funny without it being so foul? In the 15 years that you’ve been in this business you said you’ve seen great content disappear but its not because the content isn’t there anymore to be touched on. It’s just a bunch of ignorant people with mics. I’m all for comedy but not at the expense of hurting people. I was watching Richard Pryor’s live on the Sunset Strip yesterday and he did a bit on his trip to Africa and how horrible this African hitchhiker smelled when got in his car (same man thought Rich’s cologne smelled, ironically), or when I watch Eddie Murphy do his thing about the African girl he was dating, they didn’t play with the HIV issues or the famine issues or the genocide issues going on in that continent. Those were comedians! Cypha Sounds is not a comedian! If you’re gonna be that then do your research and learn some etiquette and learn how to do it properly. I see Cypha as my brother, if they came rounding up all the black people he’d be sitting right next to me (to my knowledge he’s puerto rican and jamaican but i could be wrong). If Don Imus said it or if Bill O’Reilly said it Al Sharpton and his perm would come running but us black people don’t stand up when its us killing and hurting each other. Al Sharpton and those like him only see it when cops beat on us or when other races discriminate against us but when we shooting each other down in the hood I don’t see them. I don’t see Jesse Jackson. Granted, this is no where as serious as killing but its the same mentality, if its from within we act like we didn’t see it, if its from another race we call Al Sharpton.
Man!! fuck Cipha
I swear Charlamange needs a show on cnn
MAC DIESEL – IF YOUR PROUD OF SAYING NIGGA (YOU SOUND PASSIONATE ABOUT IT), THEN COOL – I HEAR YOU. Do you even what the word means? Just askind and if you do and are still happy to use it, then I HEAR EVEN MORE!
I dont understand what your asking me – Again, the IQ level on this page is pretty depressing, so i guess no need to try to figure it out, or hope that you can understand my point.
I’ll leave you with this – I’ve been in hip hop in NEW YORK CITY for over 25 years, and the best part about it is that true hip hop sees no racism and Hot 97 whether we agree with the corny playlists or not – It’s a setting for Hip Hop in this town. That said, Hip Hop can dig into areas in which no one else can beacuase no one else including yourself apparantly can understand Hip Hop and what this culture is about, and the foundation on how it was created. For you to bring up this guy Imus who knows nothing about us, or what we do and represent is plain stupid.
I don’t know Cipha personally, but do you really think that Cipha trully beleives that all Haitains have HIV? Really now? Do you really think he believes that Puerto Ricans have uncles recently released from Rikers Island at their Christmas party as indicated on the station promo? Really now?
A strech, pushing the envelope – Yes, but that is what makes good radio. Best part about it all – You don’t have to listen to the show if you dont want too. You can simply keep listening to the same Rhianna and Drake song over and over and over again.
Peace.
ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE RACIST…PERIOD……PETER ROSENBURG IS GONNA GET SHIPPED BACK TO UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND RADIO STATION ANY DAY NOW…
yall need to make like michael jackson.. and lighten up.
Tired of people being so gawt damn sensitive about EVERY FUCKING THING.. so what he said it.. it was a joke.. and just bc he said it.. DOES IT MAKE IT TRUE? damn.. who is he? he is a fuckin RADIO DJ niggas.. he ain’t the pope.. it ain’t like the fuckin PRESIDENT stood up and said that shit.
get a grip niggas.. tired of this fake outrage bullshit perpetrated by SPECIAL INTEREST groups who need controversey TO MAKE MONEY FOR THEIR ORGANIZATION!?!
The niggas protesting probably never even listen to HOT 97 or Cipha sounds.. they just sent down there by the organization SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE THE NEWS AND CONTINUE THIS SCAM OF BEING OUTRAGED.
and they was right.. bitchassness is at an all time high.. like katt williams say bitches… accusing him of fuckin up they self esteem.. “HOW THE FUCK CAN I CHANGE THE WAY YOU FEEL ABOUT YOU!?! YOU SIMPLE BITCHES”.
real talk man.. let that dude eat and do his job.. if you don’t like what a nigga say.. CHANGE THE FUCKIN STATION YOU HATIN ASS BITCHES..
for real.. change the station.. quit all this 3rd grade tattle tellin.. fuck this
this whole damn country is bitches now.
I do not think he should be fired, however he should be suspended for the joke that he admits is tasteless. What a lot of you commenting here dont understand, when the joke doesn’t hit close to home, ya don’t feel the effect. The haitian community has been fighting this stigma for years. They have reasons to be upset. We should support our haitian sisters and brothers.
I didn’t hear it live but im sure 80% of the people in an uproar didn’t either. if what Charlamange played was exactly what Ciph said then i can’t see how this spun out into an all out protest. i heard worst from them. but again i didn’t hear the exact comment. but what is being broadcast over the news is a quote but to me that means he said what he said in the clip and then reiterated to be clear. if that was the case then i would have to agree. but if it was just that one line, Stop it.
its like
if its a known fact that somewhere is known for high levels of any negativity people wouldn’t want to be around it neither, regardless. now it is insensitive and distasteful but only to the public. i’m sure anyone of those people protesting have said things equivalent to that but only within amongst friends. ciph’s apology was because it became an issue. if y’all ever been to his comedy shows y’all would know his humor and know it ain’t the first time something like that has been said. but since it was on air to the public its a problem.
Hot 97 wins again!
@fuck cipha i totally understand where you’re coming from and i see where queenz is coming from too but I just because queenz says their view doesn’t mean that that person is a genius or if that person is correct. it’s easy to stand on the positive side and act like a preacher and look like a wise person Look at Al Sharpton he protests against anybody that says bad about black people but I don’t trust Al Sharpton Al Sharpton is a user and abuser. I’m not saying what he did was the right things to say but i feel the comments are totally blown out of proportion. As for the disrespect yes it’s disrespectful but on a scale of 1-10 how disrespectful was it? I’d say at like a 5. they way you make it seem you think it’s a 10.
AIDS is disgusting and a horrible disease wished on nobody we know that cause we all were in sex ed class. all he said was “i don’t mess with haitian girls so i’m fine.” I don’t think that’s like a life motto of his. I think he meant never been with a haitian girl before so he doesn’t have to worry about AIDS.
Imagine if somebody was like” i heard all the girls on 4th st got AIDS” Then i said “I never got with a 4th Street Girl so i’m good.” Thats probably what ciph meant when he said “i don’t mess with haitian girls”
I Remember dave chappelle made a joke about Elian Gonzalez saying good thing he was cuban cause if he was haitian we woulda sent him back. Is that disrespectful toward haitians too? saying theres a ton of haitians and we don’t need any more? this was way before the earthquake when everybody wasn’t all sensitive nobody hating on chappelle. It’s just jokes people. IT’S JUST JOKES.
IT WAS A BAD JOKE! That’s it! Suspend him maybe but termination is too much. But hey, yall saw what they did to Imus.
Charlemagne is a straight herb. FOH.
Man this guy has a terrible lisp.
[…] VISIT RAP RADAR TO LISTEN TO CHARLAMAGNE […]
LMAOOOOOOO.
I understand people get offended, but it IS a joke. Still, he should know better, its not his friends hes talkin to. Its the radio listeners. (and producers of the station and whatnot)
Stupid decision to say it, but I have to say he made me laugh at that one. lol
FUCK EVERYBODY WHO THINK WHAT THAT BITCHASS NIGGA CYPHA SAID IS ALL GOO. FUCK YA ALL….JUST LIKE STATISTIC STATES THAT AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN HIV RATE IS HIGH DOESN’T MEAN FOR A MOTHERFUCKER TO GET ON A RADIO AND SAY SOME SHIT LIKE THAT ABOUT AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN. FUCK YA ALL YOU THINK CYPHA WAS MAKING A TASTELESS JOKE….HE EATS SHIT….HE NEEDS TO MAKE SURE HAITIAN TASTE LIKE ASS WHEN HE SPEAK IT….THIS NIGGA CAN’T GO TO MIAMI…I BET…I PUT MONEY ON IT….ZOE POUND WILL SEE HIS BITCH ASS…
I’M A HAITIAN MAN I LOVE LOVE MY HAITIAN WOMAN…I LOVE BLACK WOMAN PERIOD.
AND FUCK YA HATEFUL IGNORANT MOTHER FUCKERS HER….
FUCK PETER ROSENBERG TOO….THAT RACIST MOTHER FUCKER THINKING HE CAN USE HIP HIP TO COVER HIS RACIST ASS
I’m not co-signing Ciph, but it’s ridiculous how people will up and protest radio stations for a DJ’s comments, but will sit and take it with a smile when our government dicks us over on a daily basis. If you want to hurt a radio station, stop listening to them. Save the protesting for real social issues….
for all of you saying that haitians are high-risk for hiv/aids, do you have the stats to back it up? (In theory, aren’t blacks in general using that logic?)That was the problem w/ciph’s ‘joke’..it has a history and def feeds upon this misconception..ciph is old enough and a new yorker so he should remember the drama and the protests that happened in 80s/90s because of that issue..he shoulda known better..it’s not just a regular ole joke..
and u know some ignorant folk will just believe that crap..even thought it was a ‘joke’..
Q
Only thing ill say is this: next time a natural disaster happens in Haiti, a lot of people won’t be so quick to help them after this. For all we know, Cipha could have one of the people who donated when they were in need….smh
So people wont help haitians b/c haitians dont like people makin jokes about their women being carriers of hiv/aids? Gtfoh w/that! That’s sad.. And we all know there were plenty of people who gave aid/donated b/c it was good pr or cuz it was what was ‘poppin’ at the moment..smh..only God knows peoples true intentions..
@ Juan EP FAN
I get the Chappelle statement, he is a comedian though. not a radio personality.
& again he spoke about AIDS, which according to reports it’s effecting alot of black men, and women. I dont think ANY african americans would appreciate a comment like that coming from anyone. Especially a DJ that is heard day in and day out, representing hip hop – which is a huge part of our culture.
He’s held responsible for the comments he chooses to say on the radio, and that was definitely not the way to go. I get being a “shock jock” but even to be that, you must have tact. and all it showed was tremendous immaturity, and lack of respect for people that quite possibly may be a fan of his. Like others have said, stereotypes and stigmas are 2 very different things.
freedom of speach allow’s him to say and state what ever he wants to. He said he doesn’t have to worry about nothing cause he doesn’t mess around haitian women. so i guess that him disrespecting black women. people get your shit together please.
@ RAY…
you made no sense
K
Charlamange “Tha God” is a fucking idiot. He may not like what Charlamange said but he needs to defend his right to say it because he might make an off color joke on the air one day and have special interest group calling for his job. The fucking dummy is so short sighted he can’t see they’ll be coming for him next.
how bout fuck all bitches with A.I.D.S niggas too.. die slow bitches.
yo i fucked with cipha and yee since the shade 45 days they cut up on every one the same who gives a fuck listen to what howard stern says every day get the fuk outa here
[…] You can listen to the full audio here. […]
F4re him!
YO TO ALL YOU SUCKERS WHO THINK THAT IT WAS JUST A JOKE I FEEL SORRY FOR UR MOTHERS…..THERE CERTAIN JOKES YOU DONT MAKE ON THE RADIO OR AT ALL……SO THAT SPIC ASS MOTHER FUCKER GOT WAT HE DESERVE…….I WOULD HAVE SLAPPED HIM IN HIS MOUTHY IF I WAS HAITIAN……FUCK THAT BITCH ASS NIGGA HE’S WACK ANYWAY
IM HAITIAN MAN AND THAT COMMENT WAS DISRESPECTFUL AND OUTRAGEOUS A SUSPENSION IS THE LAST THING THAT DUMBASS SHOULD WORRY ABOUT…..YA KNOW WHAT WERE GOOD FOR…I’LL LEAVE IT LIKE THAT…..
Excuse you fools!!!!!!!!!!!!! , it shouldnt be us comparing tsunami or what he said about haitians, he shouldnt be saying anything derogatory on the radio, PERIOD! Use that microphone to lift people up not bring people down! He has learned his lesson, and now he knows bettter!:-)
I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT MANY HAITIANS ARE USPET BUT THE FACT IS REAL
MEN LIE WOMEN LIE NUMBERS DON’T…
[…] CLICK TO HEAR 105.1 REACTION […]

I Dont give a fuck about non of these shit, but dont be surprised if cypha sounds ends up on a satellite radio station, then he can say all of the uncensored shit he wants!!! People who protest create a fire that can either get put out or made larger. Hes a radio personality and the people who listen to him are bigger than the haitian ppl and country ( as a audience) Im just sayin ppl hear racial slurs everyday and this aint even the worse its been its the least its been happening. Get over it do something with yaselfs and change the statistic dammit!!!!
who cares bout a dj?seriously!!
CHARLAMAGNE RUN HIS MOUTH TOO MUCH… I CANT WAIT UNTIL SOMEBODY FINALLY BUST HIM IN HIS MOUTH
[…] Cipha Sounds Suspended From Hot 97 […]
It was just a “joke” right? So if your moms was in the hospital dying of cancer… life support and all… and some nigga is in the street saying she’s responsible for the spread of HIV… you’d accept it as a “joke”, right? Fuck outta here. Haiti’s in the most fucked up situation, and there’s certain shit that should be off limits. If you aren’t Haitian and you aren’t mad… I understand. Cause if somebody was talkin wreckless about “your people” and I didn’t share that culture w/you, I might offer two cents but I wouldn’t really be HOT. But in this case, Cipha was talkin about MY people, MY family, MY kids, MY mother. So just watch us be HOT and watch us talk SHIT and watch us DO US and shut the fuck up until somebody says YOU and YOUR PEOPLE and YOUR FAMILY are responsible for spreading HIV.
And for you people saying it’s about “freedom of speech”… if you have a job @ burger king and a customer comes in and you call them a fucking crack whore and your boss fires you… NOBODY is gonna be hearing your “freedom of speech” argument. He was AT WORK when he said the shit… and the shit offended Hot97 LISTENERS… When you’re at work and you say some disrespectful shit about your clients and/or customers… you get fired. Nobody feels sorry for your ass.
THE “JOKE” IS GOING TO BACKFIRE WHEN HE SEES THEM ZOES! HOPE HE WASN’T PLANNIN A TRIP TO MIAMI. IF YOU’RE GONNA TELL A WILD AND DISRESPECTFUL JOKE, GO HEAD AND DO YOU, BUT YOU GOTTA BE READY TO DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES… AND ANY PERSON WHO CARES ABOUT THEIR OWN GENERAL WELL BEING WOULDN’T WANT TO DEAL WITH CONSEQUENCES COURTESY OF THEM ZOE POUND BOYS! JUST ASK GANGLAND!

CthaGod needs to be on the u played yourself section ..
“it’s like murdering someone and saying your sorry to the family in the courtroom” – No its not!
what a terrible analogy …
and lol @ ppl misquoting him …
Girl – “hatians have the highest rate of aids”
Cyph – “I dont mess with them”
what type of female he chooses to be involved with is his bussiness
What if there was a study tha said Irish women carry a gene that gives their child a higher chance of being an alcoholic. And someone said, “well i dont date irish women so it doesn’t matter”…
^^^ thats exactly what it’s like….Nothing!!
The joke was based off of a fact anyway!
Hatians have the highest percentage rate of being an HIV carrier. So what if he said somthing in a more serious tone like; “wow, now that i know that fact i’m not going to sleep with an hatian women before they get an aids test done” – I mean it’s a legitiment concern isn’t it….
I think that they were more upset by that study being broadcast over the air than anything, and were just looking for a reason to lash out against it.
@Mike B…
In America, BLACK MALES have the highest rate of HIV transmission… with the highest GLOBAL rate of people living with AIDS belonging to SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA (22.5 Million). The Caribbean as a WHOLE (INCLUDING, but NOT LIMITED TO HAITI) only has 240,000 people living with AIDS. All of this according to CNN’s Nationally releases statistics in 2009 and to the Avert website.
Basically, what I’m saying is: You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.
SEE? Because of fuckin Cipha Sounds I gotta go on CNN and pull statistic rates and shit.
@TIA
you are obviously educated..NO one can enter America with HIV?AIDS ask any immigrant you get a blood test before coming to the U.S.A and once again BLACK AMERICANS have HIV/AIDS highest rate in America particularly Black American men(Gay, Prison, Drugs). I’m A.A but i would never put down other blacks especially pure blood Africans from some media propaganda …Black Americans in NYC are something else and divided as usual Hispanics feel closer to whites anyway open your eyes people
Wow. The use of the English language has just gone to waste. The comments on here prove all those against hip hop right. Guys/ Girls – You sound like fools. It’s radio, it’s contnet, it’s entertainment. Cipha whether he meant too or not, has been able to get all of you to comment on literally a few words that he mentioned in the purpose of keeping his show “NON-STANDARD”. Sad many would like to say, but true. Thanks for recognizing the power of radio, and the power of EDGY content that shakes everyone up.
Sadly even more my friends – If Sipha were to host a radiothon on health improvment initiatives in the minority community or any other community focus effort as he does countless of times – NOT ONE OF YOU WOULD HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY, OR BETTER YET HAVENT COMMENTED ON IT – YOU WOULD CONSIDER IT BORING AND NOT WOTH POSTING ON THIS DARN BLOG.
KymeG – And you most of all – Thanks for spreading more violence throughout our industry…That will REALLY wake up the racists and critics.
So, I guess the Zoe Pund Boys are the answer to all of our problems. What a great thought process you have. Feel sorry for you my dude.
Peace.
majority of the comments on this site are more offensive than what cipha said. first time on this site and last. keep. and for idiot who said haitians are a high risk for hiv do some research you idiot. This is not a joke, its because of stupid comments like this that an idiot would assume that haitians are at higher risk for hiv.
Yo!
Long live Cyph and Rosenberg!!!
Yeah he messed up by offending people, but dude is a good guy at heart!
Anyone who listens knows this…
what study mike b
Nowadays the only thing people respect is disrespect…and it going to be part of our demise (as people)
When does it stop being comedy? I mean what else would he have to say or do for it to be an indivivdualistic concern? He has to be specific? say your name or your set or your gang or your momma name to take it as a direct disrespect for you say no this isnt comedy at all, giving a tactless person a platform to speak.
Every disc jockey has a treatment of what there show is about. Why is that morning show always about cultural bias? Its to the point that they come off racist even if they poke “fun” at themselves which is even worse that shows self hatred to me. Its going to get to a point when some one says some real dumb shit to you and you cant even get mad or offended…cause you gave up that rite for the sake of comedy…”oh they was just joking when they said that”…smh…fuck that.
Cmon people…interdependent people…stand for something/one…be non tolerant for something/one. The show goes to far everyday…its so common you think its right…its ok.
They (the morning crew) should of stayed on satellite radio where someone has to pay to hear them talk reckless…on public airwaves to say that…hot 97 parent company going to feel that hefty fine from the FCC. Fuck with a person money they straighten up real quick…lol
Im in no way tryna preach or talk down to my fellow bloggers…just my take on it…”there is little hope for us until we become tough-minded enough to break loose from the cuffs of prejudice, half-truths, and downright ignorance”.
V
FIRST OFF, SOMEBODY COMMENTED STATING THAT IF SOMEBODY LIKE THIS SAID THIS A WHITE MAN, THEY WOULD WANT THE NIGGAS HEAD. WELL EMINEM LISTENS TO PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT WHITE BOYS N DONT SAY SHIT.
KANYE WEST “IN THIS WHITE MANS WORLD, WE THE ONES CHOSEN”
SECOND OF ALL, WHAT CYPHA SAID WAS TRUE. ALL HAITAIN BITCHES HAVE AIDS. AND ALL BLACK PEOLE SMELL LIKE DOG ASS. TRUE, VALID, STATEMENTS.
SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
I DON’T BELIEVE YOU, I DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HAITI
HIV CHOLERA KIDNAPPING RAPE VOODOO…
OKAY, THIS AIN’T DISNEYLAND OVER THERE, THIS IS RAW AND THE REALITY SHOCKS YOU
THIS WAS JUST A JOKE AND SOME PEOPLE TAKE IT PERSONNALY
GO BACK HOME, IF THE TRUTH AFFRAID YOU
SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT, CTHAGOD THINKS WHAT CIPHA SAID IS SPREADING HATE. HOW IS SAYING HAITIANS ARE A HIGH AIDS RISK GROUP SPREADING HATE? THEN HE TALKS ABOUT THE EARTHQUAKE IN HAITI. YEAH IT WAS TRAGIC BUT TRUTH BE TOLD, THE REASON IT WAS SO BAD IS BECAUSE OF THE ILL CONSTRUCTED BUILDINGS THE HAITIANS BUILT. THEN HE TALKS ABOUT THE CHOLERA OUTBREAK. OF COURSE SOMETHING IS GOING TO BREAK OUT IF YOU HAVE POOR SANITATION, CRAMPED CONDITIONS, AND BAD HYGIENE. BLACK PLAGUE ANYONE? COME ON NOW. IT’S TOO MUCH OTHER SERIOUS SHIT OUT THERE GOING ON LIKE THE MESS IN DARFUR TO GET ALL PISSY ABOUT A DAMN JOKE.
Charlamange Tha God disses Hot 97 as a staff
^^
This nigga like to go off on niggas he don’t know.
In a few days they’ll be an interview on 105.1 with cipha sounds. they’ll make up
charlemagne will bitch out like he did with diddy
this man offends people on a DAILY BASIS but wants to get mad at someone else? Don’t get me wrong, what dude said was ignorance in its purest form, but really? YOU of all people are mad? stop it.
charlamagne is dum for this hes only saying this to get the arpoval of others and get a lil more listners for 105.1 ciphas whole show is about clowning on different races` so really their is no reason for this suspension or for charlamagne to say this he just sees cipha and rosenberg as a compeititor in the morning and is now probably glad this happened
Cy pulled a FOUL in my opinion.
I don’t care if he goes on the radio and calls himself a spic, that STILL doesnt give him the authority to say that shit.
But if I ever expected anyone out of the Sounds & Rosenberg show to diss Haitians, it was Cypher. Because the vendetta with so many spics towards Haitians is silent, dangerous and ALIVE.
Deny it all you want, but it’s true.
not to mention you spics are so quick to say it was “just a joke”, but if someone DARED say some shit about yall they’d suddenly deserve to die.
(( By the way, Im white. ))
Charlamange Tha God sounded crazy … also he works on Angela Yee’s show? Didn’t Yee start out as Cipha Sound’s co-host on Shade 45?
You idiots are comparing a DISEASE/VIRUS to nonsense! Really though?! What you guys fail to realize is that all jokes are NOT jokes! What can be funny to one person can be offensive to another. He is a fool for saying it. And he got what he deserved. I don’t want him to get fired but suspension should suffice. At the end of the day we are human too. We have feelings and we know when “a joke” is uncalled for. And yes we are a sensitive people. That’s because we have endured so much through these years. And the last thing we want is to be be disrespected by a panyol! (hispanic) And for the simple fact that you allow stupidity to enter your homes is all on you. We have accepted the remarks, stereotypes, and the bashing of all races and nationalities as “comedy”. Y’all are so dumb! Y’all are really dumb! So making fun of people of all races is entertaining or OK? When will it be sufficient? Or when will it have gone too far? It’s just going to keep happening over and over again. We HAITIANS do not entertain or condone ignorance point blank period! You guys are worried about him and he doesn’t know that you exist! Now that’s funny! Go be productive with yourselves and read a book. I’m just tired of you all trying to justify his tasteless, stereotypical, ignorant comment as “a joke”. Ke’m pa sote you baboons! lol
That was bullshit, he played himself but it was a joke. these guys talk about everybody including themselves. The haitian community would of been better off making cipher apologize and do a fundraiser for a haitian cause. SMFH!
Why was Ed Lover Fired?
hey, if you dont stand for something, what do you stand for. im tired of people hiding behind the guise of “its comedy”. certain stuff you shouldnt say.
and this is why Stern>>
wow he gets fired but some white bitch on the golf channel says they should lynch tiger woods only got a 2 week suspension… smh fuckin ridic-lus
why is this a big deal.. me being a fellow indian/minority is ok with it i hate hatians
I’ve always hated cipha sounds. He is a cocky asshole. He always insulted rappers on his old show on mtv. Hes not even cool. Im glad he got fired. Fuck that bitch.
will what is the big deal it was just a joke i just don,t understand it….nough said thou……relax people we shouldn,t gone and suspended the man that makes know sense to me either…
The excuse that he jokes on Everybody is NOT an excuse at all because he doesn’t joke too that extent about ANY other ethnicity. Had he joked about the Haitian accent, or anything else, it would not have been an issue. Those of you who think that a joke about HIV is okay have serious mental issues.
Was “nappy headed hoes” JUST A JOKE? What is the difference here? Is it because this is targeting Haitians or is it because the DJ Cipher Sounds is not white?
My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it? Any help would be really appreciated!
What’s far more, the factors which are affected by the rotation speed include the bearing type, size, precision, bearing peripheral components, clearance, keep frame structure, lubrication and load. Next to Call of Duty fanboys, Halo fans are among the most elitist of the bunch, making outrageous claims that Halo is a groundbreaking series with loads of originality and playability. It will be ok because we can cover up this error with all the technology was lost on Reach.
FUCK CIPHA AND ROSENBERG. Racist cocksuckin’ fags, don’t know shit about Africa THEY JUST KEEPS TALKING SHIT.
