K Foxx Speaks On Angela Yee “Beef”

Music News
From MTV:
Like in most reality shows these days, beefs are drawn out and alliances are formed, but Foxx doesn’t take any of it personally. “Business is business. What I do on the radio, I don’t take home with me. You gotta be able to differentiate between that because if not you’ll go insane if you take every single thing that happens within this business personally,” she told MTV News when she sat down with us in March ahead of the show premiere.
Foxx is a weekday morning show jock on Hot 97’s “The Cipha Sounds & Rosenberg Show,” while Yee dishes down the dial on Power 105’s “The Breakfast Club” alongside DJ Envy and Charlamagne tha God.
The two stations are locked in a ratings battle and at times their respective DJs hurl on-air insults in each other’s direction. In Monday’s show, the two ladies confront one another face to face. “It’s a competition and nobody wants to be second, so when I’m on the field, I’m ready to play, but it is nothing personal against her. I don’t know her well enough to be taking personal jabs,” Foxx said.
