KFI announced the suspension Thursday, saying John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou also known as John and Ken for their insensitive and derogatory remarks about the late Whitney Houston. The duo talked about Houston’s past drug problems, at one point saying she was “cracked out for 20 years,” When talking about reports of Houston’s odd behavior before her death Saturday, they said: “It’s like, “˜Ah Jesus . . . here comes the crack ho again, what’s she gonna do.”
In the statement, Kobylt said, “We made a mistake, and we accept the Radio Station ‘s decision. We used language that was inappropriate, and we sincerely apologize to our listeners and to the family of Ms. Houston.”
