Biography of Angie Martinez
Her golden career started at the age of sixteen. She got a break in Radio to answer hot lines at the urban radio station Hot 97. There she came into contact with Funkmaster Flex, a DJ and joined under him as his protégé.
Her grasping abilities were so quick that she picked up things fast and turned them to her own advantage. She pretty quickly understood the basics of running a successful radio program. Within three months without any on-air experience she grabbed the 6-10 pm time slot on Monday-Fridays, following the station's headlining talent Wendy Williams.
Within no time the popularity of her radio show began to soar even surpassing Wendy Williams in the ratings. The success of Angie Martinez at the radio station gave Wendy Williams sleepless nights and soon silent rivalry ensued between the two. One fine night it came to a boiling point and erupted.
It so happened that Wendy Williams, was on air one night with her trademark celebrity gossip and suddenly announced that Martinez was secretly dating rapper Q-Tip and then went on accusing Martinez saying that she owed her position to her famous boyfriend, who played a major role in promoting her career at the Radio station.
Angie Martinez heard it all and flew into rage. She was right there in the station and stormed into William’s studio. Soon the war of words ensued between the two with insults and accusations flying back and forth at each other, which ultimately led to a physical brawl on Air. Producers and the security personnel tried to pacify them but without any success. The entire ugly episode had been broadcasted live all over the New York City much to the surprise of the listeners.
