Here's the story from allhiphop.com:

Troi Torain, known as Star of the Star and Bucwild Morning Show, has been fired by Clear Channel the shock jock made sexually charged statements directed to the 4-year-old daughter of a rival dj.

On Monday May 8, Torain, an employee of New York’s Power 105.1, made several on-air sexual and threatening comments about the daughter of Hot 97’s dj Envy.

"Yes, I disrespected your seed. If you didn't hear me, I said, I would like to do an R. Kelly on your seed, on your little baby girl. I would like to tinkle on her," the dj said referring to an alleged videotape of the Chicago-bred pop singer urinating on an underage girl.

Torain also offered to pay $500 to any listener that could provide the location of the child’s school and made several racially and sexually charged comments about Envy’s wife, who is Asian/African American. “Oh yes, I'll, I'll come for your kids. I will come for your kids. I finally got the information on his slant eyed, ddd wife. The information on his slant eyed, ddd wife.”

dj Envy said he found the comments deplorable and disgusting.

"Any man that says he would like to do an R. Kelly on a 4-year-old, who claims he wants to tinkle on her and skeet on her face might be a pedophile," dj Envy told AllHipHop.com. "Instead of keeping his hatred focused solely on me, he threatened to molest my daughter. He's a coward who hides behind his microphone, who will stop at nothing to generate ratings."

Torain’s former employee also denounced the on-air comments.

"Power 105 finds recent remarks broadcast by Troi Torain of the Star and Bucwild Morning Show to be wholly unacceptable," said Market Manager Rob Williams of Clear Channel in a statement. "He is no longer with Power 105.1 or Clear Channel Radio. We sincerely apologize to those who may have been offended by his remarks."

dj Envy and Torain had been exchanging verbal insults over the air for weeks.

Eventually, a listener complained to a New York City Councilman, who then called Clear Channel Radio President/ceo John Hogan and demanded Star's dismissal.

Premier Radio Networks, a subsidiary of Clear Channel, airs syndicates the Star and Bucwild Morning Show in cities like Philadelphia, Miami and Richmond, va. Premiere Radio Networks has suspended the show indefinitely.

According to published reports, the rest of the Star and Bucwild Morning team are on suspension pending further investigation.

Torain and the Star and Bucwild team were terminated from Hot 97 in 2001 after they played sound effects of a plane crashing and a woman screaming in the aftermath of R&B singer Aaliyah’s death.

Torain’s manager, Wyatt Cheeks, was unavailable for comments at press time.

Star: Somebody holla at me and tell me about his ddd wife and his kid. 866-678-8270. ... Somebody get at me about his ddd. His ddd wife and his kid, this little ugly ass kid, I hear. Where's where does this kid go to school? I got five hundred bucks for that information. Somebody email me or gimme a call. Just tell me where his kid goes to school. Let's see who's really gully on the microphone. Five hundred dollars, in my pocket, right now. I need to know the school, this hfdf ass nigga, dj's kid goes to school.

Star: I've got information on dj Benji, aka what's his name again? Envy. I've got information on his gook. His baby's mother.

BucWild: A gook?

Star: Hemp University, uh, cats used to run trains on her. Green bmwâ|
I'll get to all this in a few minutes.

Star: oh! And I got the information, the school his kid goes to.

[Woman's voice] Really?

Star: Yeah, I'm savin' that one. That's, that'sâ| That's the one I'm
gonna pull out if I have to. If I have to. Oh yes, I'll, I'll come
for your kids. I will come for your kids. I finally got the
information on his slant eyed, ddd wife. The information on his
slant eyed, ddd wife. Yes. A cat who actually ran a train on her,
contacted me. [chuckle] Allegedly ran a train on her once upon a
time. Allegedly. Once upon a time. Ejaculated all over her face,

Star: No, let me just touch on this real quick,
But there's a woman out there right now who pushed out a little
lo-mein eater by a dj down by the sloppy station. I got at this
alleged slut ddd, heh, and this little half a lo-mein eater. ...
Yes, I disrespected your seed. If you didn't hear me, I said, I would
like to do an R. Kelly on your seed, on your little baby girl. I would
like to tinkle on her.

"Call the cops"? Nigga, please, there's no bodyguards. I carry the 9.
Most of the cats that are with me, have felony convictions, they can't
carry. I'm disrespectin' your seed. I would like to skeet on the face
of your seed. Now that's, that's real talk dawg. You have to come
holla at me now. Call me, I'll meet you somewhere, but don't act like
you were waiting in some parking lot with like 50 niggas. Please.

Now, again, to the woman, who carried that little mongrel for 9
months. ... I'm coming for your seed. Did you hear me? (*thump, thump,
thump* noise) I want to do an R. Kelly in the mouth of your seed fem?
You holla at me now I'm the easiest man in the world to find.
*snickers* And my name is The Hater. You holla back now, dj Envy.

Star: Let me see now, uh, dj Benji attention! In case you didn't hear
me, I said, I want to put some mayonnaise in between your baby girl's
ass crack and take a bite

Another shocking aspect of this is the fact that although he was fired from Clear Channel, he may still receive his $5 million in yearly pay as a result of a guarantee in his contract for him to get the money regardless.

He may still have a problem because the state of NY may decide to press charges.

"According to the New York Times, the Manhattan district attorney's office has opened an investigation into Star’s sexually, racially and overall offensive tirade, which threatened a 4-year-old child."

That was really disgusting. Certain things don't need to be joked about, even if it's for ratings.

I hope that he can be charged with something. That's not acceptable behavior.

I'm glad to see that law enforcement acted promptly.

I wonder about his mental health with some of the things he said. They were really sick.

I was just about to ask how come this loser, this waste of space, this sad excuse for a human being - wasn't handcuffed, thrown in the back of a cruiser and left to rot in Rickers Island or some other God forsaken place.

I'm glad this punk at least got arressted.

I'm still in disbelief about he possibility of him getting $5 million a year after all of this because of some contract. Are these people serious!!!? We're quite possibly dealing wit a pedophile here people!! $5 Million in yearly pay for what - to relax more comfortably when he's threatning those innocent kids!!!!?????

Girl, when I read that transcript my reaction was Shocked Mad Evil or Very Mad What the hell was this man thinking? Why must you bring in an innocent little child? I stopped listening to this show after they did the airplane crash joke when Aaliyah died--very distasteful. They hired the idiot once again and now this. I hope he serves some nice time in jail. Joke or not, there is a limit and I don't feel sorry for him at all.

Damn! That beef with that rival must be really serious for this DJ to go out like that? I doubt it's just for ratings he was saying all this? Give a fool a mic and...

Never mind ain't worth it...



Peace!
