Two community DJ show hosts quit KTRU radio station following a dispute on April 10 involving KTRU management and Houston rapper Joseph McVey, whose stage name is Z-Ro, and Charles Adams, who co-hosts a radio show with McVey called “Big Angry & Z-Ro.” KTRU Station Manager Hania Nagy said KTRU decided last-minute to record the interview off air to give the station time to decide whether to air it following student concerns regarding disparaging comments Z-Ro had reportedly made about a woman who accused him of assault. According to Adams, Z-Ro and Adams then refused to do the interview. Mueller and her co-host, who had run the hip-hop show for eight years, quit the station on the spot.
