Fameye
London-based disc jockey (DJ), Chos, has hit back at Fameye following the singer’s walk-off during his recent concert in London.
Fameye had accused DJ Chos of unprofessionalism after the DJ’s setlist failed to align with his planned performance.
However, DJ Chos has blamed the mishap on Fameye’s inadequate preparation and limited rehearsal time.
In a statement addressing the controversy, DJ Chos Media apologised to fans for the disruption but countered Fameye’s allegations, explaining that the situation could have been avoided with better preparation from the artiste’s side.
DJ Chos pointed out that Fameye attended only two brief rehearsal sessions leading up to the event. The first session lasted 12 minutes and took place in DJ Chos’ car after Fameye declined a formal studio session, citing fatigue.
The second session, held at the venue, lasted just 15 minutes, during which a specific playlist was agreed upon.
However, DJ Chos claims that Fameye’s team continued to request a different setlist right up until the last minute, which led to confusion and disrupted the planned performance.
Defending his professionalism, DJ Chos emphasised his 25 years of experience in the industry, pointing to his successful collaborations with artistes like Kelvyn Boy, King Paluta, and Kweku Flick, all of whom performed seamlessly during the same event.
“I have worked with several top artistes in my career, and I have always maintained professionalism,” DJ Chos said. “It is disappointing that Fameye is trying to undermine my experience and expertise.”
DJ Chos urged Fameye and his management to reflect on the incident constructively, stressing that shifting blame would not solve the root cause of the issue. He called for more thoughtful preparation in the future to avoid similar disruptions.
