WYSP’S KIDD CHRIS FIRED OVER RACIST PARODY SONG, DAN GROSS REPORTS
Chris ‘Kidd Chris’ Foley, the host of Philadelphia rock station WYSP’s morning show ‘The Kidd Chris Show’ has been fired, according to Dan Gross of PhillyGossip.com.
According to Gross, Foley’s termination stems from an in-studio performance of a parody song performed by frequent show contributor Lady Gash. The song, titled ‘Schwoogies,’ featured lyrics deemed racist by those who protested it.
It was reported earlier that several sources close to the situation were saying that Foley was merely suspended.
