PriMedia Has Shown Dj Fresh and Euphonik The Door After Rape Allegations Duo Decided To Resume Their Public Engagements.

Radio 702 and 947 owners PriMedia has fired radio DJs Fresh and Euphonik following the rape allegations that the pair is facing.

The media company announced the decision on Wednesday evening, indicating that it opted to release the two popular DJs from their contracts.

“Primedia Broadcasting can confirm that, after careful consideration of the events of the last few weeks, the company has decided to release DJ Fresh and Euphonik from their contracts. Their last shows on 947 were aired on 15th January and 10th January 2021 respectively,” reads the statement.

The decision follows allegations which were made by a woman on Twitter who claimed that the two DJs raped her in 2017, at an unknown lodge after a party.

The lady has since opened a rape case against the duo at the Sunnyside police station.

It is alleged the duo's statement above was the reason behind PriMedia's decision to switch off the djs mic's. The DJs tried to preasure the media company to let them back on air while they await the justice system verdict.

“This decision does not reflect a view on the veracity of any allegations against either Euphonik or Fresh. Rather it prioritises Primedia Broadcasting’s business imperatives. We believe that this decision is in the best interest of our company and our various stakeholders,” said Geraint Crwys-Williams, Interim CEO of Primedia Broadcasting.
