About This Video
Audacy’s hip-hop station “Hot 104.1” WHHL in St. Louis recently ended its affiliation with the “Home Team” morning show, featuring Shorty Da Prince, Andrew Caldwell, and Tiffany Foxx.
The program first broadcast in July 2022 with Shorty, Caldwell, and Brittish Williams. Tiffany Foxx, a former rapper and “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” star who pleaded guilty to fifteen counts of fraud before joining the show, was added to the lineup in November after winning a co-host search contest. Caldwell claimed in a video that Foxx had desperately begged for the job following her legal troubles and expressed his preference for a different co-host.
Shorty Da Prince, also known as ‘On-Air Jordan’ during his stint with Reach Media’s “The Morning Hustle,” began his broadcasting career at 100.3 KATZ-FM and W

Caldwell, along with Shorty Da Prince and Tiffany Foxx, brought a fresh vibe to the morning show. Now, with the end of ‘Home Team’, the question is, will Caldwell bounce back? In this business, resilience is key.
