KFI has suspended the shock jock team of John & Ken due to insensitive and inappropriate remarks they made about Whitney Houston.

John Kobylt, the outspoken member of the team, referred to Whitney Houston as a “crack ho”

The management of KFI released a statement saying that “Management does not condone, support or tolerate statements of this kind”

John & Ken have come under fire in the past from immigrant rights advocates and others for their often inflammatory rhetoric.

So why did KFI decide to suspend John & Ken now?

  2. I can’t believe he actually said that.
