Famed Hot 97 DJ Ebro Darden is in the hot seat after a resurfaced clip of him criticizing singer-songwriter Tinashe‘s name went viral recently.
Hop inside for details:
As seen above (in footage shared by our friends at TSR), Tinashe was a guest on Hot 97 in December 2013 when Darden stated she was “light-skinned…with a ghetto ass name.” His co-host, Peter Rosenberg, corrected him by stating her name was African (Tinashe – born Tinashe Kachingwe – is of Zimbabwean heritage).
While the clip didn’t spark much outrage at the time it was originally uploaded, fans of the singer recently drew attention to it – so much so it was among the top trending topics on Twitter on Thanksgiving weekend.

Once word got to Ebro’s desk, he responded with:
“Yea this was a terrible joke, we were using the name skit for people to learn her origins… love Tinashe thats my homey still.”
