After five years, A.J. and Free have left as hosts of BET's popular 106 & Park.
After five years, A.J. and Free have left as hosts of BET's popular 106 & Park. The announcement came rather suddenly on Thursday July 28 when A.J. (with Free on the other end of a cell phone) announced that it was the last live show for the duo. A prerecorded show aired that Friday and BET personalities Tigger and Julissa hosted the show on Monday.…

What in the hell is wrong with BET'S MANAGEMENT?
Their problem was trying to control a woman that's the host of the show, to make her except something she surely knows is wrong! Like so many sisters degrading themselves on videos, and you can tell Free didn't care much for that. I think she has more positive things on her mind. To let sisters know shaking your ass ain't gonna last! YOU GO FREE AND DO YOUR THING!!!

Everyone in here must be under 17, because the last time I checked, 106 & Park was a garbage show with AJ & Free and without them. I've hated 106 & Park since it got on the air. Both AJ & Free were garbage hosts, but on the other hand I wish them both the best. And Free is not the finest female on TV. Everyone forgot about Halle Berry being the most beautiful for some reason. Anyway, I never saw why people would watch 106 & Park to begin with, its a crappy show, and they don't play the videos all the way through which is the point of the show. And I don't know why people actually cried about their departure anyway, especially with all the crap that's going on like the government's lack of response to the hurricane Katrina disaster or the gas prices, I mean it ain't like AJ and Free are displaced, and what about other people in real life who are let go or terminated from their jobs -- they're the ones we need to cry over. I swear I cry everytime I go to the gas pump, and hurrican Katrina doesn't need to be spoken on THAT'S OBVIOUS!
44 - nique
I love Free and AJ, but G Bizzle i'm feeling you, because what we need to open our eyes too we dont. In todays society we tend to pay more attention to garbage, so what if AJ and Free departure, what is the big deal it was time for them to move on to bigger and better things in their life.

i used to watch the show everytime now i dont it is boring

It does seem that the majority of everyone that has left a comment is pretty young. Opinions are like butts, everyone's got one. There is no reason to bash AJ, Free, Julissa, Tigger, or anyone else. If you don't watch the show anymore cool, if you do great. AJ & Free will not be returning, & I seriously doubt anyone will be begging them to come back.
47 - Younge Savage
Well Im not worried about Free & AJ I Bout to let u in on Shreveport Louisiana The hypes city
on the map you hear me forget the rest of yall guess what we bout dat g shit you hear me like lil webbie said you want g shit port city will give it to ya any body dont like dis reply please
48 - Colleen
Everything is done for a reason.I think the departure of AJ & Free was done for a reason.
To be honest,i really miss seeing them on 106 & Park but if they had to go I couldn't have done anything about it.I liked to see AJ's "rasta hair" & Free's style of dressing.They were the best hosts ever,no-one can replace them.I wish them luck in their future endeavors.
49 - TL
Bring em back, bring em back!!! 106 and Park ain't 106 and Park without AJ and FREEEEEEE!!! Damn BET!!! Beg and plead or get on your knees! Do somethin! I believe yall just lost a lot of viewers! I never used to forget to watch 106 because of them. Now, when I remember to watch, the show be almost over. Tigger and Julissa, or Brook Valentine, or whoever just don't work right. Well, tigger's arite. If u cant get AJ back, that'd be OK. But Free need to come back! Free and Tigger! That sound arite. I MISS YOU, FREE
50 - babygurl
I miss free and a.j i cant believe they left its like i knew them and when they left i was heart broken its not the same now bet sucks. i still watch it but not as much as i use to.i hope they decide to come back....
51 - Sheryl
Well seasons change and things never stay the same. Enjoy the new hosts of 106 and Park.
52 - mike
free had a baby boy
53 - Donny
I've been watching 106th and park ever since it started airing on B.E.T, and whatever the reason were, i hope that they enjoy whatever they're doing now. To me without them, the freestyle battles aren't the same, and free can't be fantasized by others anymore, so fellas try your best with Julissa and Tigger, and have Tigger bust some freestyles for the audience. With a economic change like this any thing adherent is most likely the best choice for AJ and Free.
54 - A
well i still think that aj and free wer the best hosts EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
55 - A
but congrats to free if she did hav a baby...even tho ther gon' i still watch 106 almost everyy day
56 - RJH
4 da nigga name G Bizzle u just hattin on Free and Aj. U just mad because u weren't da host of 106 & park. Free and Aj were da best host on BET I think they should come back. Free u r still prettiest woman. Dont let no one put ya'll down and keep ya'll head up. His ass probably ugly ass hell.
57 - Joe
Free and AJ are Bet's most amazing hosts. I wished that they will come back we need them.
We love you both and we really miss them. 106 & Park is really boring without AJ & Free please come back!!!!!
58 - Joe
RJH is right and #43 are you hating on AJ&Free. I sense a little hatred. 106&Park is a live show and they are time in case you haven't noticed. 1 hour and thirty minutes. They have other things to do beside play the video all the way through and that is not the purpose. The purpose is to entertain the black society. Are you even black because I think you are white with that kind of comment. Free& AJ are still popular and well known. They made 106&Park Bet didn't. I'm also #57
59 - terrence
aj&free good to bet i love to look at 106&park now at 6:00p.m now i do homework i don't like it at all free i love you alot. you are the bestthing in my life

63 - swtlyrik
I hate that they are gone and it's not the same but why would it be?? Different people are hosting it now with different styles. Free and AJ had good chemistry and that's what I miss. I won't say the show won't be good without them. Maybe the new host will bring a different flava. But I do agree that was one of the best shows on BET. Maybe a little more could have been done to keep them.... ; )
64 - jimbo
SINCE A.J AN FREE ARE GONE THE SHOW REALLY SUCK, THEY SHOULD HIRE J LO AN MARK ANTHONY AS THE NEW HOST MAKE IT A SPANISH VISION OF HE AN THEY CAN PLAY SOME R%B WITH SOME RAGGATON THAT WILL BE GREAT
65 - Valerie
When I learn that AJ & FREE where not hosting the show anymore. I got very sad. Cause it's not going to be the same anymore. Now don't get me wrong. I like Julissa & Tigger. But there not for this show. AJ & FREE made 106 & PARK what it is today. ANd it should stay that way.
66 - inblkwmn84
Free is pregnant from what i hear(by Jay Z). That is why she left. AJ was cool and they both are missed.
67 - sweet
need to know why aj and free left i really liked them they, where good toghther. maybe they"ll come back someday.
68 - roberta
i heard that aj and free has a little thing going on. maybe that"s why they left the show. i thought they where real good at what they did.
69 - DA PRINCE
YO WHAT IT DO I'M SORRY DAT FREE N AJ LEFT BUT 106 IS STILL BET SO LETS STOP BEING CRITICS AND BE PROUD THAT US BLACK PEOPLE STILL GOT A STATION WE CAN CALL OUR OWN.

LIL FLIP CHAMILLIONARE MIKE JONES AND ESPECIALLY LUDACRIS LETS STOP DA BEEF I MEAN BECAUSE YOU SAY U LOVE YOUR FANS WELL SHOW US NO DISRESPECT.
DA PRINCE

Lets be real folks. The decision to take free off the air because she is pregnant (with J-Z's baby I might add) is just as politically correct as sensoring gansta rap. 106 & park is a family show & the explanation of child-birth is a topic most would rather cover up than address.
71 - ~A~08
i no that Aj comes back once and a while as a guest on the show, but y doesnt free?????or y dont they hav like a reunion thingy, lol.
A
72 - chi-towns finest
i cant beleive free and aj are gone. i misss their chemistry. no bodys had that chemistry yet. especially anybody with jalissa. tiggers fine though. but will any of the new faces have some chemistry bet work with me
73 - jojo
why did aj and fre leave?
74 - Danielle
Whoever said that we need to get over AJ and Free obvioiusly doesn't see how fake Julissa is and how hard she tries to fill in Free's shoes. NOBODY can replace Free and AJ, they were such perfect hosts and thay had so much chemistry, Julissa is stupid!! I can't stand her. No she is not a good host. Tigger I'm used to bcuz HE WAS ON rAP cITY SO HE'S STRAIGHT BUT JULISSA GOTTA GO!!!!
75 - Tara
The show is not the same without Free/AJ. They just had this chemistry that everyone could feel. This Julissa chic is not bad, she just needs to be herself and stop trying to fill Free's shoes, simply because Free is a hard act to follow. And no one can take AJ's place. BET, what were you thinking?? And I dont think Free had Jay-Z's baby. The man is loaded with money, and, as he said, he has the hottest chic in the game wearing his chain. Why would he give all that up just to have sex. Free is definitely a dime, just beautiful, and I know that it is more than skin deep--and I am quite sure she has morals about herself and wouldnt disrespect Beyonce that way. And to Free, congratulations on your new baby.
