DJ Fatxo Denies Ghetto Radio’s Allegations of Interview Cancellation

Popular Mugithi singer Lawrence Njuguna, better known as DJ Fatxo, has denied allegations by Ghetto Radio that they cancelled an interview with him due to numerous complaints from fans.

In a statement on Wednesday morning, the musician said that the interview was cancelled due to unavoidable traffic that caused him to be late. He condemned the radio station’s earlier statement as “misleading and ill-thought”.

“The reality is that the cancellation was a result of unavoidable traffic delays that caused DJ Fatxo to be late for the scheduled interview,” the statement read. “We, therefore, find the insinuation of that letter unwarranted and ill-thought. It is distasteful, misleading, and plainly just unfortunate.”

DJ Fatxo also denied claims that there had been public uproar over the interview. He said that there had been positive feedback from fans in the interview promotion posts shared on the radio station’s social media platforms.

“We value our fans’ support and the relationships we have built with media outlets,” the statement said. “It is essential to us that accurate information is conveyed to the public. It is the cardinal duty of the media to inform not misinform.”

Ghetto Radio has not yet responded to DJ Fatxo’s statement.

The interview was scheduled to take place on August 18th from 7 am to 8 am. The radio station had said that they were forced to cancel the interview due to an “online uproar” from their fans. However, DJ Fatxo has denied these claims.

The dispute between DJ Fatxo and Ghetto Radio is the latest in a series of controversies involving Kenyan musicians and the media. In recent years, there have been several cases of musicians being censored or having their interviews cancelled due to controversial content.

It remains to be seen how this dispute will be resolved. However, it is clear that the issue of censorship is a sensitive one in Kenya, and that musicians are increasingly speaking out against it.
