The official tour DJ for Stormzy and DJ presenter on Capital XTRA, DJ Tiiny has been dropped by the station after he was reported to be taking £200 to play songs on his weekly radio show.
Tiiny had been broadcasting on Capital Xtra since 2018, presenting a Friday night show that presented a mix of hip-hop, R&B and grime.
Born, Frank Boakye-Yiadom, DJ Tiiny’s wrong deeds came to when he had written to a producer demanding money in exchange for putting his song on the air.
Producer J Beatz Music, posted a screenshot of an email purportedly written by the DJ on his Twitter.
“If you wish for the track to be premiered on my Friday night radio show, there would be a charge of £200 for one track,” “This would also include keeping the track within my radio playlist for 2 weeks.” the email said.
