Popular Rhythm FM On-air personality, IK Osakioduwa, has claimed that he has never demanded money before playing artists’ music. The OAP was reacting to claims that radio presenters don’t play music except they are paid.
Osakioduwa made the reaction in a video available on Instagram recently.
He said it is heartless to demand money which artists are yet to make before playing their music.
“In my entire radio career, I have never received money to play any artistes song on the radio.” he said in the video.
Osakioduwa explained that demanding money from budding-artists, especially, before playing their music makes life difficult for them.
“I think its wrong – I think it makes life difficult for budding artists. They pay so much money that they haven’t made yet. And then to collect money from them is just heartless.”
The OAP stressed that their role as presenters is to play music regardless of whether the artists pay or not.
“We can’t keep complaining about politicians and policemen who take bribes if we are going to be radio presenters who are going to be taking money from people who make music which is our job to play.”
