Atlanta Radio Tea! DaBrat Replaces Claudia Jordan on The Rickey Smiley Morning…

Jul, 13 2015 | Written by ATLien
Just the other day, I revealed that Claudia Jordan (formerly of The Real Housewives of Atlanta) had lost her 2nd job in as little as 30 days.

[READ: Twice Unemployed: Claudia Jordan FIRED from The Rickey Smiley Morning Show… ]

In my post, which you can read above, many of you expressed your desires to hear rapper Da Brat onair as a regular addition to The Rickey Smiley Morning Show.

Welp… it appears the Gods heard your cries because now Da Brat has been named as Jordan’s permanent replacement on the popular radio show!

Details about Da Brats new blessing below…

According to Rodney Ho of TheAJC:

Rickey Smiley‘s third female co-host in just over a year on his syndicated morning show is rap star Da Brat.

Da Brat, whose real name is Shawntee Harris, today replaced “Real Housewives of Atlanta” cast member Claudia Jordan, who spent a year with the show but was let go earlier this week. Last year, Jordan took over for the popular Ebony Steele, who had been with Smiley for seven years but was also released from duties without explanation.

DaBrat, who has been a regular visitor to the Smiley show over the past year, apparently got the good news around the same time everyone else did…. while reading the local paper this morning!

The 41-year-old Atlanta resident, the first female solo rap artist to go platinum with her album “Funkdafied” in 1994, will be a welcome addition to Smiley morning show, which is heard on more than 60 markets nationwide.

The show produced in downtown Atlanta and heard on Hot 107.9 locally. For the record, Porsha Williams remains as the female representative on the syndicated TV show “Dish Nation.”

How do you feel about Da Brat’s new radio gig???

Are you looking forward to hearing her on a daily basis?

  Okay let’s get it straight she did not get fired from the radio show she resigned.
  
  Quanda
  
  She got fired girl. That was the reason she moved to Atl (for the RSMS). She didn’t want to leave.
- Tamara Takor via Facebook
  
  That’s good for her. She did a great job as a guest host. She keeps Gary in line.

  What happened to porsha???? Seems as though everyone is temporary.
  
  ThisIdeaIsGENIUS!
  
  Porsha is on the tv show for Ricky.She’s still there. Not to bring negativity into this post,but doesn’t Da brat owe money to someone for injuring them? I hope Im wrong,but seem like I heard that.
  
  Sasamina
  
  Well I guess now Brat can slowly start to pay back that money she owe to that girl for DISFIGURING her. But I’m glad she’s gonna start working now. Everybody need a job in their life. Wonder why the let Claudia go, tho?

  Congrats to Da Brat, but guaranteed she will be gone in a year or less. Hopefully Porsha will stay in her lane with Dish Nation and not come on the radio.
  
  Net
  
  So true, the minute fans start talking about da brat more than they say Ricky Smilleys name, he is going to fire her ass also, he has to be the star.

  Yes, I can see it now, Porsha was never a threat.

  Glad to see Da brat’s working, but seriously, we’re not gonna talk about Bravo pulling the plug on Nene’s and Kim’s show?
  
  chrissy
  
  I know, right!! Did you see how Andy was giving Nene the squinchy stank eye at the 100 episode special? I think this is the demise of Mrs Leakes. That head got too big for her own good. Who’s checking for her outside of housewives? Not me!!!

  Da Brat is much more entertaining.I’d stopped listening because I can’t stand Claudia’s voice.
- 1Magine
  
  YEEK!!!! I’m soooo excited, it was refreshing and a joy to hear "Da Brat" when she filled in for boring Claudia. I heard her this morning on the RSMS but didn’t know it was permanent until I read it here!!!! YEEEESSSS!!!
- chrissy
  
  Chile, Claudia is doing movies. She’s a REAL JOURNALIST with real education. Bravo hired her to get rid of the ghetto fabulous Nene. Now, dig that move.
