There is no love lost between On Air
Personality, Freeze and comedian, Basketmouth, as virtually everybody
knows that the two don’t see eye to eye.
In a telephone chat with Saturday Beats recently over the latest news, Freeze said, “Can Basketmouth get you fired from your job?”
He claimed the issues he had with his former employees had nothing to do with Basketmouth.
“When you work in a corporate
organisation, it is not everything that goes on there that you can make a
story out of. Legally, I am not allowed to comment on such a matter
because I have a non-disclosure agreement with my organisation. I cannot
even comment because I tried to sit down with lawyers to know what to
say but they advised me to tell anyone who asked that I cannot comment
but what I can say is that CoolFM is my family and that is where I have
worked for over 15 years.
“Sometimes we disagree and what we
disagree on are matters that the world does not know about. They are
professional and work related matters. It has nothing to do with a
comedian or social media.
“It was the humour of my weekend when
the story broke. I was shocked that people actually believed the story
and I had fun with it. I chose not to answer; what I chose to do is when
I resume work and people see me, they would deduce whatever it is they
want to deduce. Legally as a person, I could be sued for making a
comment on that,” Freeze said.
He told Saturday Beats he
would not want to comment much on his relationship with the comedian
because the issue had dragged for too long. He added his refusal to talk
about the comedian didn’t mean he was afraid of Basketmouth.
“I have gone through so much with
Basketmouth and I have decided that personally, I will not comment about
him because anything I say would be taken to his camp and it would be
interpreted in any way they want to interpret it. They would respond,
then I would have to respond again and we would drag the issue for a
while again.
“We have been on this matter for too
long and from my own side, I want to rest it, not because of the fact
that I am afraid of anything but because I think it has been on for too
long. The only thing I will talk about is that CoolFM is a corporate
entity and a comedian’s feeling or emotions about me is our personal
issue. It has nothing to do with the corporate world.
I am at CoolFM on a
contract and my position cannot be affected by a social media comment
or post. Everyone in the office was shocked when they read some of the
reports online. “It made me to wonder how people would believe what they
read on social media platforms. It was stated on a blog as a fact that I
was sacked. I threatened to sue them and my lawyers are waiting but
some people begged me that it was not necessary to create bad blood.
There was no iota of truth in their news and they spread it as a fact.
Such reports could affect my future especially if I wanted to work in
another place, they would claim that I was sacked because of the things
that were posted on some blogs,” he said.
