Radio veteran Star has come forward to defend taking legal action and contacting authorities following a verbal threat from West Coast rapper Game.

In a new “Shot 97” broadcast, Star stood behind his decision.

“The trigger has been pulled. I’m going down the same path as f*ck boy Raashaun Casey a.k.a. DJ Envy, the same path, yes I am. Don’t hate on me when the sh*t hits the papers.” (Shot 97)

Back in 2006, police arrested Star after he made threats toward radio personality DJ Envy‘s family.

When Mr. Torain, 42, showed up at about 1 p.m., he was met by detectives from the Hate Crimes Unit and was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor, the police and the Manhattan district attorney’s office said. Mr. Torain’s comments from the station, known as Power 105, over several days in early May put the girl in danger, the police said. (NY Times)

In a May 3, 2006 radio broadcast on Power 105.1, Star took direct aim at Envy’s family.

“I’ll come for your kids,” Mr. Torain said that day, adding that he would pay $500 to anyone who told him where the girl attended school. Mr. Torain, who is black, also used racial and sexual epithets about D.J. Envy’s wife, Gia Casey, 27, who is part Asian. (NY Times)

Reports about police going after Game bubbled online earlier this week.

Cops plan to arrest the hip hop star — whose real name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor — over threatening comments he made on the radio about rival D.J. Star, sources told The Post on Monday. Star, whose real name is Troi Torain, reported his rival’s threats to police, and Taylor faces arrest if he returns to New York. (Page Six)

  1. in a tax payer’s world, grown up American have rights such as freedom of speech and a right to call a cop if we fell like we are in harm or danger…..But in the other world things like speaking your mind to the wrong person or about the wrong person and calling the cops can get you shot…then add in that the cops can also shoot you for any reason and at the core are glorified gang hitmen…how are we to behave…we are told that gangstas are bad i wont disagree …but when given the description ….they all sound alike….American gangsta travel by plane with high powered heat and kill when some one with a suit says so…local gangstas travel by car with high powered heat and kill when some one with a suit or no suit says so…how are we suppose to choose between legal with random chance of death and e legal with random chance of death…what rules do u follow…

      • Aint nothing wrong with NOT doing dirt. Doing dirt usually means ending up in some white man’s prison. What’s not ok is Star shit talking and then running to police.

    • That’s the smartest way to bring down a man……his wallet but I also agree Star a bitch for talking so much shit about throwing hands and then pulls this

  3. So he likes to run his Mouth like a girl, then run to the police R.I.P. to his hiphop career

  4. This dude is a cold muthafuckin’ coward. All the shit he talks about rappers and was talkin’ about tappin jaws on Rikers back in the day and what he would do to Big Tigger. No respect for this clown. Ultimate coward move.

  7. its funny how everyone shitting on star and calling him a snitch but they still fuck with envy and listen to 105.1….. hiphop is infiltrated with rats and fake industry ppl. everyone hates snitches but to send a message you have to stop patronizing their companies or shows. these young kids dont stand for shit anymore. in the 80s and 90s you had to move your family out of the neighborhood if you were a rat.

    • No dummy not the same situation. Start was making pedo like threats toward Envy’s DAUGHTER.
