Just weeks after an on-air confrontation with Young Jeezy, female rapper and radio host Monie Love is no longer working at Philly’s 100.3 The Beat WPHI-FM.
Sources from the radio station confirmed to SOHH this morning that Monie (born Simone Wilson) is no longer employed there. Her departure from the station follows on the heels of her December 7 interview with Young Jeezy where the two argued vehemently over whether hip-hop is dead. During that conversation Jeezy also questioned Nas‘ street cred. The argument ended with Jeezy storming out of the studio. While many within the industry have speculated that the incident is the real reason behind Love leaving her morning show post, representatives at the station were unwilling to confirm.
“I have no comment on that,” Daisy Davis, Operations Manager at 100.3 The Beat, told SOHH.
The British-born Love was member of the 80’s and 90’s collective known as the Native Tongues (Queen Latifah, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers, Black Sheep). Monie Love’s first album, Down to Earth, spawned two Grammy-nominated singles, “Monie In The Middle” and “It’s a Shame (My Sister).” A second album, In a Word or 2, was released in 1993. Love also released an EP Slice of Da Pie in May of 2000.

Like MJB said it best, "I'm tired of all this drama!"
