    Final co-host for BET's '106 & Park,' again with Bow Wow (2013-2014)

Why she might be annoying:

    She collaborated with Foxy Brown.
    She was called anAaliyah-wannabe.
    Some fans have accused her of being stuck up.
    Mispronounced, her name sounds like 'Kunta Kinte.'
    She was discovered at the age of six, performing a rendition of Tupac's 'Dear Mama.'
    She admitted to going out briefly with fellow Torontoan Drake, but claimed that they were never in a relationship.
    Her '106' co-hosting gig with Bow Wow was compared negatively with their predecessors, Terrence & Rocsi.
    While there were likely a number of external factors which influenced the execs' decision to pull the plug on '106,' after 14 years, her poor chemistry with Bow Wow probably didn't help much, either.
    She was caught in an awkward exchange gone viral with August Alsina during his '106' appearance, when she violated his contractual terms by bringing up his feud with Trey Songz. He angrily refused to answer the question (Apr. 15, 2014).

Why she might not be annoying:

    She has made goodwill trips to Kenya and the Dominican Republic.
    She won a Juno Award for 'Best New Artist' at the Canadian Radio Awards (2005).
    She was the first (and last) Canadian music star to host '106 & Park.'
    She had to put up with Bow Wow's horny, incessant on-air urges with guests.
    She is an active spokesperson for World Vision, who headed off their 30 Hour Famine campaign.
    She worked closely with Alicia Keys to promote AIDS Awareness for the Stephen Lewis Foundation.
    She took part in both BET'S Rap-It-Up campaign and WarChild's Keep The Beat campaign.
    She won 5 Urban Music Awards, as well as Video of the Year and Fans Choice.
    August Alsino later admitted that the confrontation was more his fault than hers, apologizing to her personally.
    She wisely pulled out of Lifetime's bombed 'Aaliyah' biopic when it became clear that the project did not have the Haughton family's blessing (her replacement soon followed).
    She became the first 106 & Park co-host to interview a sitting First Lady, when Michelle Obama made a guest appearance in 2013 (and later accepted an extended invitation to the White House Christmas Party the same year).
