The domino effect of a dude on a podcast never fails to disappoint. Jermaine Dupri gave a little insight on the origins of 106 and Park while he was on The Goats And Underdogs podcast this week, and all hell done broke loose.
He said:
“106 & Park was created by me,” “I created the show for Bow Wow. I was watching MTV and they had TRL. They catered to NSYNC, The Backstreet Boys and anything White that was coming out that was pop. They was allowing these kids to scream and holler at them.”
“I called Stephen Hill…and I said we need to make a show just like TRL [with Bow Wow]…because he was a rapper…he was a Black little young boy rapping,” he said. “Nobody on TV was 12 years old anywhere creating this type of fandomonium.”
According to XXL Dupri went on to explain that he presented his idea for a Black version of TRL to Stephen Hill, who was the president of programming for BET at the time.
Watch:
Only a few moments later Bowwow chimed in with a tweet telling JD to stop the cap.
Bow Wow, whose real name is Shad Moss said:
“JD aint create 106&Park stop the cap,” he tweeted on his Twitter account on Sunday (Dec. 18). “Stephen hill Rick Ghrimes & all the great people in the BET OFFICE & staff created that show. All i did was capitalize off of what they created and made it mine. I would know…. I am mr 106! I would never take away from someones creativity.”
Now ya’ll know DaBrat is going to ride for Dupri everytime so she hopped on Instagram to get a few things off of her chest as well.
Twitter reaction:
The lack of respect you show to Dupri makes me regret that I was your fan at some point. You always out lacking respect when he is always supporting you, defending you…you are not loyal at all.
