So apparently having the “freedom of speech” as an amendment still doesn’t mean you can’t get kicked out of an radio station for speaking your mind. If you don’t understand what we’re trying to say well just ask Tyrese Gibson. Recently during a promo run, his thoughts got him kicked out!
The singer/model/actor and now author, stopped by Delaware Radio Station Kiss 101.7 on a promo run, but had his conversation cut short when he addressed the fact that there was a liquor store in such close proximity to an elementary school. Tyrese saw it as good hearted-advice, but it was perceived as rude by the station. Really?! Tell us what y’all think about what was said…
“Get them cats out of here … selling alcohol right across from your kids school, homie — put the pressure on them homie … you know how to put pressure on dudes selling in your hood.”
After said comment, during the commercial break the Program Director told Tyrese to hit the road jack. Well according to his tweets right after the fact:
“I just kicked out of a radio station frm a PD who had a problem w/ me speaking on liquor stores that are by elementary schools in Delaware. In 17 years I hv NEVER been kicked out of a radio station.. Because I have a problem w/ liquor stores being across from elementary schools?I was also told that the PD made them ERASE my interview so that NO ONE could HEAR me SPEAK on the issue of the liquor stores near kids..Love is love y’all .. When you stand for something.. You will create a shift in the universe.. Salute to all of you for your support!If you don’t STAND for something.. You will damn near fall for Anything..”
Ridiculous. When they were asked if it was true, they told press Yes, and it’s because he was “disrespecting” the Delaware Community.
