Over the past few weeks, there was heavy speculation that Terrence J & Rocsi could be leaving their positions at BET as hosts of 106 & Park. Now, those talks have been put to rest as the two close friends have confirmed that they will indeed be making their last appearances on the show before moving on to other things.
Stephen J. Hill, BET’s President of Music Programming & Specials, made a formal statement Tuesday evening after he himself learned of their decision.
“Today, after seven exciting years, 106 & Park hosts Terrence J and Rocsi announced that they will be leaving the show. It is no secret that there are a number of opportunities coming their way and we’re fortunate that they’ve been with 106 & Park for so long. They will be staying on the show for a while, so that we can have a “victory lap”, a celebration of their years at the helm of 106 & Park, before their departure. Terrence J and Rocsi are destined for great success and we at BET Networks will always take pride in being their original home — and be a place where I hope they’ll always feel welcome.”
Terrence J and Rocsi also made an announcement themselves and spoke briefly about their time on the show.
“The first day I cracked the mic on 106, I was staying on a cot in a basement,” Terrence said, while Rocsi added, “Until the moment we leave, we pledge to bring you young Black culture. It continues to be our honor to do this for you.”
The two will be looking to pursue acting careers.
