NEW YORK -- The biggest names in hip-hop made their way to the studios of "Hot 97": Suge Knight, Lil' Kim, 50 Cent, Jay-Z. With them, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday, came a plethora of hangers-on and violence.
Now, the building owner says in a lawsuit, it's time for the radio station to find a new home.
Sparked by last week's shooting of a rapper just before an interview at WQHT-FM, the landlord filed legal papers demanding the radio station's eviction despite six years left on its lease. The landlord said it feared for the lives of other tenants or passers-by, and accused the station of promoting the violence."
