ILOSM fam’ make some noise if you remember the days of Teen Summit and Rap City on BET. Well, when it came to BET host, Durik “Prince” Dajour, the ladies loved him, the fellas wanted to emulate him, and his down to earth personality made him an easily likable TV persona for everyone.

We were wondering where in the world Prince Dajour (50) ‘disappeared’ to nowadays, and lo and behold, we found him…and his kids! Y’all already know we’re self-proclaimed truth diggers, here at ILOSM. So it was only right that we did some diggin’ into what he’s doing for a living nowadays…turns out, he’s doing a lot.

Prince Dajour: “When my time was done on Teen Summit – we could only stay until we were in high school – I was trying to find another job, so I could stay on television. At the time, I was at my regular little job.”

Soon Came An Unexpected Call…

BET Saved The Day With “Rap City” Phone Call

PD: “They called me at my job. It was raining outside. They asked, ‘Would you be interested in filling in on Rap City? We want to give you a shot.’ I ran all the way to the subway. I didn’t have anything hip-hop on. I was wearing casual clothes.”

But There Was Just One Problem…
