Popular host of one of Hitz FM’s flagship programmes ‘Taxi Driver’ has stepped down.

Blakk Rasta revealed on his Twitter handle:  "I have left Hitz Fm 103.9...Movement time thanks so much for the love. To Jah be the glory”.

The outspoken radio presenter, and Raggae Musician, made the news recently for alleging that more than 80% of Parliamentarians smoke cannabis, a banned substance - an allegation that angered the legislators.

He was subsequently called to the House to give evidence of his claim, but he backed down and apologized for his utterances.

He explained during his interrogation in Parliament that he was “on heat” while presenting the show, suggesting he had no basis for the allegations against the Parliamentarians.

It is not clear if that bad call against the legislators has caused the "Barack Obama" hit maker to step down.

Blakk Rasta has however not stated what he intends to do after quitting the show that has made him so popular within the showbiz circles.
