Power 105 DJ fired after sex threat vs. rival's kid

Troi Torain, Power 105's DJ Star, has been fired by the station after he spewed racist, violent remarks on air about rival Rashawn Casey, aka DJ Envy of Hot 97, his wife, Gia Casey, and their daughter. 
 
A popular radio personality was fired yesterday after making a series of shockingly ugly, racist and violent on-air remarks - including a threat to sexually molest the young daughter of a rival deejay.
The comments by Troi Torain - better known to his listeners on top-rated hip-hop station Power 105 (WWPR-FM) as DJ Star - were so over the top that he could be in hot water with the FCC and the Manhattan district attorney's office.

Torain offered listeners $500 to tell him where the daughter of nemesis DJ Envy, of Hot 97, went to school.

"Yes, I disrespect your seed," Torain ranted. "If you didn't hear me, I said I would like to do an R. Kelly on your seed. On your little baby girl."

Torain, 42, described in graphic detail what he meant by the reference to the R&B singer Kelly, who allegedly committed an unnatural act on an underage girl, a stunt captured on a widely circulated video.

Torain, who warned in his diatribe that he carries a gun, also called the wife of DJ Envy, whose real name is Rashawn Casey, a "whore," a "lo mein eater" and far worse anti-Asian slurs.

Casey could not be reached for comment. But his wife, Gia Casey, who appeared at a news conference with several City Council members yesterday, said she's now afraid that her kids could fall prey, if not to Torain, then to a crazed listener.

"I want his job to be yanked from him, and I want Clear Channel to have to be responsible on some level for allowing this to happen," she said. "Because not only have they condoned it, but by condoning it they have promoted it."

Yesterday afternoon, the station suspended him. Hours later, they fired him.

"Power 105 finds recent remarks broadcast by Troi Torain of the Star & Buc Wild Morning Show to be wholly unacceptable," said Rob Williams, marketing manager for Clear Channel. "As of late this afternoon, he is no longer with Power 105.1 or Clear Channel Radio. We sincerely apologize to those who may have been offended by his remarks."

Queens Councilman John Liu, who at one point yesterday said Torain's words merited his being "terminated from the face of the Earth," filed a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission.

The FCC did not return calls for comment, but Liu said he was told by FCC investigators that it appears Torain's comments could affect his station's broadcasting license.

The Manhattan district attorney's office is planning to see if Torain's rants amounted to a crime, said spokeswoman Barbara Thompson.

Casey has been accused of crossing the line himself. He was part of Hot 97's "Miss Jones in the Morning" crew that was suspended last year after they broadcast a shocking parody ridiculing the 187,000 victims of the 2004 Tsunami in the Indian Ocean. Their producer, Rick Delgado, was fired, and the station lost millions of dollars in advertising revenue.

Rondell Conway, associate music editor for Vibe magazine, said Torain's comments are shock radio theater gone amok.

"He is trying to fill the void left by Howard Stern," Conway said. "He wants to show that he'll say anything, no matter how outrageous."
