Legendary DJ Mister Cee has backed everyone from Notorious B.I.G. to Big Daddy Kane on the wheels of steel, but now he’s in the spotlight on serious charges. The WQHT Hot 97 personality was arrested for lewd sexual conduct last week following an incident where NYPD officers happened upon the 44-year-old receiving fellatio from another man inside a parked vehicle.
Cee, whose real name has been widely reported as both Calvin Laburn and Calvin Lebrun, was reportedly engaged in the sexual act with an unnamed 20-year-old. After policemen happened upon the exchange last Wednesday at 4:05PM, they brought Mister Cee into Manhattan’s 1st Precinct and booked him on the charges. While it was confirmed that Cee was arrested on charges last week, Hot 97 colleague Funkmaster Flex stated that the rumors are untrue.
“Earlier this evening, a rumor went viral through multiple social media platforms stating that Mr. Cee was arrested for committing a lewd act,” wrote Flex via his website. “Please be advised this rumor is not true. Stating false allegations about somebody and presenting it as valid information is unethical. Please continue to listen to Mr. Cee everyday at noon Monday through Friday on Hot 97 and Hot97.com.”
Since then, however, a spokesperson for the NYPD has confirmed the arrest to the media.
Mr. Cee made a name for himself beginning in the late ’80s after appearing on Big Daddy Kane’s classic debut ‘Long Live the Kane.’ Since then, he helped launch Notorious B.I.G.’s career and served as Associate Executive Producer on the fallen rapper’s 1994 debut ‘Ready to Die.’ He currently can be heard spinning on New York City’s Hot 97 radio station for his daily ‘Throwback at Noon’ show.
The most astounding finding from the newly discovered lead codices is that Jesus Christ was unambiguously and openly gay. He and his disciples formed a same-sex coterie, bound by feelings of love and mutual support. There are recorded instances of same-sex activity – the “beloved disciple” plays a significant role – and there is affirmation of the joys of friendship and of living and loving together.
A whole new complexion is given to that rather puzzling passage where Jesus exhorts his followers to break family ties: “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.” (Luke 14, 26). It seems clear now that this is less a negative repudiation of family and more a positive exhortation to join in affirmation of a gay lifestyle and love.
There is at least one new parable, that of the two young men. There are clear echoes of the relationship between David and Jonathan, for Jesus speaks of one young man having his soul “knit with the soul” of the other, and loving him “as his own soul”. Intriguing is evidence that the Catholics might be closer to the truth about the status of Mary, the mother of Jesus, than are the Protestants. She has a much bigger role in the life of Jesus than many hitherto expected, with Jesus frequently returning home and making much of her.
Conversely, there is at least one incident when Jesus quarrels violently with Joseph, who shows great hostility and makes wild claims about “manliness”. Before, one might have thought that, given Mary’s virginity, Joseph’s attitude was reflecting the ambiguities of his status in the family; but now it seems more probable that we have here a classic example of the Freudian triangle: over-possessive mother, hostile father, gay son.
Why have we known so little about all of this before? A newly discovered Pauline epistle, appropriately to the Athenians, suggests a major Platonic influence, particularly of the Republic. The classically educated Paul, who was himself gay, saw that same-sex activity was inimical to the success of Christianity in the highly homophobic societies in which he lived. Hence, same-sex affections and activity were concealed, to be known to and practised by only the leaders in secret – the guardians of Christianity as one might say. Obviously, this is a tradition that has flourished and lasted. It is not by chance that John Henry Newman is being made a saint.
Finally, the most important news is that nothing in the newly discovered codices challenges in any way the essential message of Christianity. Jesus was the messiah; he died on the cross for our sins; and through his death and resurrection made possible our eternal salvation. Our overriding obligation is to love God and we do this by loving our neighbours as ourselves. Christianity will never be the same again. Christianity will go on completely unchanged.
