Milele FM Presenter Jalango has fired back at Khaligraph Jones for blaming the media for not giving the artists full support.
Khaligraph Jones had yesterday announced that he is planning a trip for presenters and media personalities to Nigeria to see if they have fans there since they play too much Naija and soon Jalango says the next trip will be to bongo!
Jalango has laid tough facts saying that presenters don’t even choose music played on Radio and if they do they have very little say on what goes on air.
He also has warned artists for depending on the support of the media instead of putting so much effort.
“If you are still depending on Radio and Tv to make you big then you have nothing in this industry!” reads post in part
According to the radio presenter he said that not event the legendary Sauti Sol had to wait for the media to get where they are today.
Jalango also says that the reason as to why Kenya media might be playing a lot of Nigeria and Bongo music is because of their artists are aggressiveness and have exceptional marketing tactics for their music.
He also told artists that there are many platforms such as YouTube, Spotify,Apple music and social media and if they are performing badly in that sector too then they should start finding out where the problem really is.
The radio presenter however recognizes Khaligraph Jones work reminding him of what it took for him to get to that level.
He also mentioned that on his end, he has done so much to support Kenyan music and he believes that he is playing his part.
The question is, as the artists blame the media have they really done their part?
