Just to give you a recap, K Michelle reportedly missed a promotional event with Radio One, and the head honcho Cathy Hughes was so furious that she had all of the singer’s music banned from the stations.

Several Radio One executives spoke to AlwaysAList.com and confirmed that you will no longer hear any songs by K.Michelle—past, present or any artist that features her on a collaboration—due to her bailing on several Radio One promotional events while she was in the Washington, DC earlier this month.
Apparently, Radio One’s WKYS 93.9 FM’s new morning show, “The FAM with Lil’ Mo and DJ QuickSilva” was hosting a fan breakfast for 50 fans of K.Michelle that was going to be broadcast on the air. Because the event was scheduled to take place on April 1, the co-hosts—Lil’ Mo, DJ QuickSilva and Britt Waters—and the 50 fans that gathered at the studio thought it was an April Fools prank when they were told that the “Love & Hip Hop” star decided to no-show.
Reps for the 32-year-old singer told Radio One that she wanted to stay a Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington, DC the night before the appearance, but because the property was sold out she had to stay in the nearby city of Baltimore, Maryland.
Supposedly, K.Michelle did not want to wake up early and make the hour-long commute to Silver Spring, Maryland where the WKYS studios are based “because she wanted to sleep,” her rep also told the Radio One team.
Interestingly enough, a recent tweet from K may confirm her music is still getting spins on the stations:
Cute but she still needs to work on her professionalism. You can’t skip out on promotional events just because you’re tired. Fans deserve more.
Agreed.
I have to agree.
K’s people probably called up Cathy and worked it out. I agree she should have made the promo but banning her over it was too extreme now when I think about it.
Interesting.
K really does get the last laugh in just about everything. It’s hilarious.
