An On Air Personality, Freeze, says he has gotten into a lot of trouble doing what he likes to do, ‘TALKING’.
Expressing his love for his job as a radio presenter with Cool FM, Freeze said he had used the opportunity to express his feelings about certain issues which at times do not go down well with the persons involved.
One of such situations was witnessed few years ago after a tweet about people giving out call cards on twitter, condemning the practice.
At that time, a popular Nigerian music producer and Artiste, Don Jazzy, had given out call cards as tweets to his followers on twitter and Jazzy felt the tweet was a blast.
It was at the period Jazzy and D’banj had called a split and Freeze said it was as if he was putting Jazzy on a blast.
“I was not putting Jazzy on a blast. I was just speaking my mind at that time. I love Don Jazzy because he is a very wonderful producer. I respect him and his art.
“If I found something about you that would make my radio show nice, I would say it not in a way to make you look bad but just to take a shot at you.
“May be I should not have waded in at that time because of the whole tension then. It looked almost as if I was taking side with D’banj, but I wasn’t.
“I offered both of them the same live line because I met Jazzy through D’banj. When they first came, D’banj brought his music to my station,” he said.
Freeze’s was also said to have blasted a designer, Michael Kors, in his tweet, asking the designer to be more creative.
“My problem with Michael Kors, I respect the fact that he knows how to make money, but let me see originality and something more creative.
“I like a designer with a little bit more creativity,” he pointed out.
On Forbes Africa Richest artists’ list, Freeze said that “most African artiste show off and claim to be what they were not”.
He questioned the yardstick for the selection, insisting that the list was not based on the reality on ground.
On how he built his career to the point it was, he said that he had had lots of encouragements and discouragements, stressing that he was given birth to in the year of the dragon and had a lot of a dragon’s characteristics.
“Olisa is my father in the industry. He was the number one person that believed in me. He is like a mentor. If not for him, I probably won’t be where I am today.
“Dan Foster told me to my face that he did not believe in me.
“I do not have anything against him because I feel so about so many people too. My relationship with him now is great,” he said.
