Hot 97 just trolled everyone with that new host announcement. The station posted about three people, Ronndell Smith, Lana Harris, and Million, calling them new hosts and sparking instant backlash. Listeners and figures like Joe Budden and Funk Flex assumed they were replacing the recently canceled Ebro In The Morning show in New York. The outrage was based on a misunderstanding, with many calling the vague post pure rage bait from the station's marketers.

The trio has since clarified that they are not taking any New York radio slot. They are actually launching a new national television program called Hot 97 News from Atlanta. This show represents an expansion into TV and streaming for the MediaCo brand. The hosts, a comedian, a veteran journalist, and an interviewer, joked about the hate energy they received. Their program will focus on hip hop and culture journalism with a national perspective when it premieres. The actual replacement for the New York morning show remains unknown.
