Riky Rick regrets speech he gave at Metro FM

Riky Rick was on Trending SA where he decided to speak about a past decision he made that made sense at the time. He revealed that he now holds a different opinion about the utterances he made during his acceptance speech at the 2017 Metro FM Awards.

In that speech, he had said:  “Shout out to all the kids that can’t get on radio, that can’t play their song on radio because they don’t have enough money. Shout out to all the kids that put out music videos that never get their music videos played on TV because they don’t have the money…”

Riky was then asked about his stunt then. He said: “I’ve got a habit of speaking, sometimes, at the wrong time. Like saying the right thing at the wrong time. So, obviously there was backlash, a lot of it, you know. But that’s something you’ve got to deal with… I’ve got friends at that specific station and I felt like I disrespected the relationship that I had with those friends and those people that supported me throughout my career.”

He looks back at that video and is not too proud about it. For him, he could have done it in a better way.
