"I won’t endorse any artist that attacks the entire media, but will support or agree with anyone that deals maturely with any individual media practitioner," he said.
According to the musician who is currently working on his 11th record, he understands sometimes the media’s approach on some matters relating to musicians and players in the industry are very wrong and goes to affect the lives of these individuals.
But the musicians responds to the media body for it’s wrong approach on issues relating to them can also be very dangerous if not approached well, "Just like every home, there are bad nuts there and the media is no exception. I think we need to deal with individual media persons than taking the whole media body on."
"Personally, I have problems with some media practitioners in the country whom I will discipline soon but I don’t think it will be best for me to attack everybody practicing journalism in the country. Some of them are doing very well, putting the countries name on the map just as some of us musicians," he added.
When asked about who in the media he has problems with, the singer said he won’t mention names for now but the public will get to know of them pretty soon but revealed they are two radio guys.
How are you going to deal with them? Beat them?, "hahaha no I don’t think so, but seriously I’m not that type that fights but I think I will make them know who they are and who to learn from if they don’t know their jobs as media men," he indicated.
"I am not fighting the media, but my question is, is it right or professional for a journalist or media practitioner to just make stories on air without making any follow up on the story?" he asked.
