US radio legend Wanda Smith has died aged 58.
The tragic star is said to have died just a day after her birthday. Her cause of death is yet to be confirmed.
Atlanta’s V-103 radio’s senior VP Rick Caffey paid tribute as he said in a statement: “Our hearts are weighing heavier today as we grieve the loss of our beloved Wanda Smith, someone who always made us smile and who was a big part of V-103 for years.
“We extend our deepest prayers and condolences to her family. In her role at V-103, dating back to 2006, Wanda Smith brought so much joy and care servicing the Atlanta community.
“Wanda’s impact touched lives beyond making us laugh… Many times she championed efforts behind the scenes to make a difference in the lives of those who were without.
“Rest In Peace Wanda, as You take your place among the Stars. We will Miss You.”
Wanda started her career at Atlanta radio station V-103 on the ‘Frank and Wanda in the Morning’ show alongside Frank Ski in 1998.
She worked on the show for two decades, taking a break between 2012 and 2018 but abruptly left the show in 2019 after feuding with comedian Katt Williams.
Her show exit came after her interview with Williams turned explosive on air, which led to the pair being embroiled in a bitter feud after Williams insulted Smith’s interview style.
