Podcaster Taxstone and Hot 97 morning show host Ebro Darden have been embroiled in a battle on social media for quite some time now. The two have exchanged heated words over the state of NY radio; Tax blaming Ebro who as program director of Hot 97, he believes did not support NY artists, that was until they got cosigns from major players in the game. The spat between the two has grown immensely. Today (May 5), Taxstone revealed exclusively to DJ Vlad that he has been suspended from MTV's show "Uncommon Sense," where he is a recurring guest because of an e-mail sent to Viacom by Ebro.
While it's not clear what the actual start of the conflict between the two is, it reached higher stakes when Tax took it upon himself to direct insults at Darden's girlfriend/mother of his child, having called her a "lesbian" and saying she "hated" Ebro because he is a "coward."
After a slew of back and forths and a series of insults, things became more public when 50 Cent also chimed in on Ebro's position as a radio director in NY. Taxstone once again joined in the discussion, calling Ebro old and telling him to go back to the Bay area. It was then that he also revealed in a series of tweets that Ebro had took it upon himself to e-mail both Viacom and Beats1 (Apple) to have his job terminated. In a tweet sent out this morning, someone asked Tax what his presumed issue with Ebro actually is and he once again brought up the notion that Ebro has been e-mailing companies to get him fired for the insults he has thrown -- which include a promise to spit in Ebro's face.
Ebro retweeted the comment and added "Hit ya pockets if you hit my family.. Hahahaha! Stop cryin!" A response that can be seen as confirmation of the above mentioned events. Taxstone went on to post the commentary on his Instagram page, saying "that's what these industry dudes do, play the tough role and when you reciprocate they send emails to ya place of work [sic]."
Take a look at the gallery above to read some of the shots traded by the two men over the past few months and the aforementioned exchange from earlier today.
