NEW YORK – Morning show DJs on Manhattan's top hip-hop station are contributing a week's pay to tsunami relief (search) — but not out of kindness.
Last week, Hot 97's (search) morning show, led by Miss Jones (search), performed a parody of the 1980s megahit "We Are the World" that included racial slurs and the lyrics, "Go find your mommy / I just saw her float by / a tree went through her head / and now the children will be sold to child slavery."
WQHT posted an apology on its Web site that also said, "'Miss Jones in the Morning,' along with her entire staff, have agreed to contribute one week's pay to tsunami relief efforts."
