The 2025 BET Awards had no shortage of iconic moments—from major wins to unforgettable performances. As the network celebrated its 25th anniversary, one of the most talked-about segments was the long-awaited reunion of 106 & Park, the classic music video countdown show that helped shape an entire era of hip hop and R&B culture.

While many former hosts and contributors showed up for the celebration, fans quickly noticed that two key figures were missing: Rocsi Diaz and AJ Calloway, one of the most memorable host duos in the show’s history. The pair, who helped define the early 2000s run of the program, were missed by fans hoping for a full reunion.
Shortly after the show aired, both Rocsi and AJ posted heartfelt apologies on Instagram, offering insight into why they couldn’t be there and sharing just how much the show still means to them.

Rocsi Diaz was open about her disappointment, writing, “I’m so sorry if I let you down. Just know I tried everything possible to be a part of the 106 & Park reunion—it really meant a lot to me.” She explained that an unexpected job opportunity conflicted with the event, preventing her from attending. Despite the scheduling clash, she expressed deep appreciation for the team behind the scenes and her fellow hosts, calling her time on 106 the best thing that ever happened in her life.
AJ Calloway shared a similar sentiment, revealing that he was literally in the air on a flight when the reunion aired. “When your phone blows up because you missed a huge night for the best and livest audience in the world!” he wrote. He also promised that this wouldn’t be the last opportunity to reunite: “I know we will do something where we all can make it.”
