One day after Claudia Jordan was fired from The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is reporting that rapper Da Brat has been chosen as her replacement.
The 41-year-old, born Shawntee Harris, has been a frequent guest on the show over the past year, according AJC’s Rodney Ho. She’ll now become a permanent co-host on the syndicated program, which airs in more than 60 markets across the country.
Jordan was let go last week – days after Bravo also fired her from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” Her “Housewives” nemesis Porsha Williams, meanwhile, remains employed as co-host of Smiley’s syndicated TV gig “Dish Nation.”
Jordan spent a year with “Rickey Smiley” after replacing Ebony Steele, who had been with Smiley for seven years before also being fired without explanation.
