Popular radio duo, John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou, have expressed their remorse for making derogatory joke about Whitney Houston during an on-air discussion. Kobylt called Houston a “crack h–” during a recent show. He said, “All her friends and hangers on, had to deal with her. It’s like, ‘ah, Jesus, here comes the crack h– again. What’s she gonna do? Oh, look at that, she’s doing handstands next to the pool. Very good, crack h–. nice.’ After a while, everybody’s exhausted. And then you find out she’s dead.”

In a statement released on Thursday, February 16, Kobylt admitted on behalf of himself and co-host Chiampou, “We made a mistake.” Along with Kobylt’s apologetic statement, KFI AM 640 announced the immediate suspension of the pair because of the “insensitive and inappropriate comments” they made about the “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)” hitmaker. The station added, “KFI AM 640 Management does not condone, support or tolerate statements of this kind.”  The host of “The John and Ken Show” went on to say that the two of them accept KFI AM 640’s decision in suspending them from the air for a week and a half. “We used language that was inappropriate,” he further acknowledged, “and we sincerely apologize to our listeners and to the family of Ms. Houston.”
