Kofi Adjorlolo told Hammer Nti on the programme \u201cHammer Time\u201d on Pure Fm in Kumasi during an interview monitored by\u00a0MyNews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He claimed he also received gifts from Kojo Antwi for playing his music hence he can\u2019t term that as bribe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kofi Adjorlolo thinks though money is important, if musician approaches DJs to play their music they must look out for the quality of the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him, no matter how much one takes from a musician, when the music is bad, they must refuse to play it on air as they could ruin their careers airing bad content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI take Payola in the first place because of how quality one\u2019s music is\u201d, Kofi Adjorlolo revealed in his interview adding that his first payola he took was from Daddy Lumber and it was a huge sum of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile both mainstream musicians and up-coming have criticised the act describing it a \u2018bribe\u2019. Some also argue that, this act on the part of radio personalities has made it impossible for good musicians who carry high-quality content to reach the public since they might not have what it takes to bribe DJs and radio presenters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source:\u00a0MyNewsGH.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ace radio and TV personality, Kofi Adjorlolo is encouraging DJs and radio presenters to take money from musicians who come to them for help in promoting their craft because there is nothing with the practice. \u201cI don\u2019t see anything wrong with \u2018payola\u2019, people tell me that payola is a bribe or something but I don\u2019t [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16828,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
