Earlier this week Chris Brown’s on-again-off-again girlfriend Karrueche Tran made a joke about Jay Z and Beyonce never combing their daughter Blue Ivy’s hair one day after Beyoncé’s show stopping performance at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards
Reading from a teleprompter, Tran said, “I really did wake up like this because my parents don’t comb my hair.”
Now, according to multiple reports, 106 and Park are off the air for the rest of the week and writers and producers associated with the joke have been fired.
BET exec Stephen Hill also issued a personal apology on Twitter.
“Last night on 106& Park there was a stupid, unthoughtful joke made about a young child,” Hill tweeted. “We apologize publicly to the child’s parents (and have done so privately) and we have taken punitive actions with those responsible.
It was very bad judgment and we will serve you much better in the future. Oh and please don’t hat on Karrueche; it was not her fault. We also apologize to her for putting her in that position.”
