Wanda Smith was fired from V-103 in early 2019 after the viral Katt Williams interview, though the station never publicly confirmed that the interview alone was the reason. She later continued to be discussed in connection with that incident, and she died in October 2024 at age 58.

What happened

  • The on-air exchange with Katt Williams went viral in 2018.
  • Soon after, Smith and her co-host Miss Sophia were let go from V-103.
  • The firing was widely linked to the fallout from the interview, but the station did not give a full public explanation.

Aftermath

  • The situation escalated beyond the studio, with reports that Smith’s husband confronted Williams afterward.
  • Williams later kept revisiting the incident in interviews, which kept the story circulating online.
  • Smith eventually passed away in 2024, which renewed interest in the original interview and its aftermath.

In one line

She was effectively pushed out of her radio role after the viral Katt Williams fallout, and the story stayed part of pop-culture conversation until her death in 2024.
