    Ebro Darden’s morning show on Hot 97 is ending after more than 10 years. The news arrives a day after co-host Peter Rosenberg claimed that he was making a final appearance.

    All three hosts have announced the conclusion through different platforms. Ebro Darden himself shared multiple posts on Friday, December 12, to confirm the latest update.

    One of them featured him saying that he was able to live a childhood dream, and he is excited for the future.

    “It’s done. More to come”, another post reads.

    According to Billboard, the details of the show no longer exist on the official website of Hot 97. Apart from the morning show, Ebro Darden worked at the famous radio station in other positions, such as the Program Director.

    He even boasts a fortune of $800,000, as stated by Celebrity Net Worth.

    Posting two pictures with the co-hosts on Instagram, Laura Stylez wrote that they shared some good moments, including with the listeners. She said that other things are being planned for the upcoming year.

    Peter said in a video on the same platform, expressing gratitude over the fact that he was a morning host for the longest time ever.

    Rosenberg wrote that he developed a close friendship with his “heroes” and would like to thank everyone for everything in the past.

    “I’m a hip hop kid from DC. Summer Jam was like a figment of my hip hop imagination and I just showed up and was handed a mic and told to go interview these giants. And then I stayed for almost 20 years. I made mistakes, said dumb things, had bad takes BUT for the most part I kept it completely true to the backpacker who dreamed of getting to the big leagues and pushing the culture forward,” he continued.
