Comedian D.L. Hughley is hitting the airwaves in a big way. He has tapped well-known media personality Jasmine Sanders to co-host The D.L. Hughley Show with him. In addition to airing on 105.3 RNB in Charlotte, The D.L. Hughley Show is distributed by REACH Media Inc. which currently reaches an audience of over 12 million listeners, predominately African American, through radio, as well as digital media. Hughley, ready to take people on a no holds ride of humor and reality in the afternoons, stated, “I’m very excited to get back to radio and it couldn’t have come at a better time. I think radio fits my sensibility. I want to make people laugh a lot and think a little. Some people want to push the envelope – I want to see if I can singe it a little.”
Hughley established himself as a stand-up comedian propelling to stardom with the Original Kings of Comedy Tour and a subsequent movie release. He went on to have a hit television show, The Hughleys and has followed that up with a successful best-selling book, comedy specials and television appearances. Known for being astute and politically saavy in true comedian style, D.L. has served as host of his own talk show on CNN and TV One. The D.L. Hughley Show can be heard from 3-7pm on 105.3 RNB.
Documents recently released by the FBI name late rappers Eazy-E and 2Pac as targets of extortion. The pair were allegedly targeted by the Jewish Defense League.
“On September 11, 1996 [redacted] reported that JDL, and others yet unidentified have been extorting money from various rap music stars via death threats,” the report states. “The scheme involves [redacted] and other subjects making telephonic death threats to the rap star. Subjects then intercede by contacting the victim and offering protection for a ‘fee’. Source reported that ERIC WRIGHT, also known as EAZY-E, who owned RUTHLESS RECORDS, Woodland Hills, California, was a victim of this extortion scheme prior to dying from AIDS. [Redacted] had also reportedly targeted TUPAC SHAKUR prior to his recent murder in Las Vegas, Nevada.”
The investigation into the Jewish Defense League was closed in May 1999 after the FBI were unable to get anyone to corroborate their initial source’s claims.
The document is available in full at the FBI’s website and can be viewed here.
