Is Jamaican radio personality/MC Nikki Z biased or merely inconsistent in her public pronouncements on the faux pas and criminal mis-steps of entertainers?
That is what a number of local entertainment insiders have been asking in recent times as the controversial personality has been using her morning show as a platform to conduct a vocal pro-Mavado campaign, even as she publicly excoriates Portmore Empire deejay Deva Bratt who has been charged with carnal abuse in a case involving a 14 year-old schoolgirl.
When One876Entertainment.com contacted Nikki Z about the complaints she revealed, I am sorry if they feel that way but honestly speaking every media personnel has a bias at some level, this is true, I try my best to keep it on a median if any artist does wrong or not I inform the people.
One entertainment insider said, Mi no really have a problem with her stance on Deva Bratt but she is not consistent. Mi hear her programme last week and a pure Mavado she a play even though the man has just been charged with shooting with intent and illegal gun possession. A man is innocent until proven guilty, but I would like to know what ZIP FM is trying to say to the Jamaican public.
Nikki Z responded by saying, When you compare the issue of someone being charged for a rape, sexual assault or carnal abuse of a defenseless 14 year-old child and not just one but two separate counts to a charge of an shooting due to what they claim to be caused by grown adult men engaging in acts of ignorance and senseless violence to each other it leaves me puzzled.
A popular selector also called our offices yesterday to complain about an incident last week where her bias seemed to shine through like the sun breaking through clouds after a rainy day.
She came to Congress Fridays last week and someone must have asked her to big up Deva Bratt and she said she wasnt going to big up Deva Bratt because he is a child rapist. Mi no understand that because she de a Portmore, inna the man hometown ah talk dem tings de, yet still she de pon air ah big up Mavado who get charged with an equally serious charge, shooting with intent, and illegal gun possession, she no rate Portmore people, the Portmore-based selector reasoned.
I do not condone violence of any sort but i do not believe these arrests have anything in common other then they are both artists. Every time these little girls hear his music does anyone wonder how they feel? That is a wound with intent that will never heal. When Movado was arrested he went to the authorities, they did not have to find him. He went with the alleged motive of quelling some of the tension and violence that has been plaguing many communities including Cassava Piece. Whether at this point he is guilty or not that in itself is a commendable act. Nikki Z told One876Entertainment.com.
