Yes! Magazine quoted singer Harrysong as saying his parents are siblings
in an interview with them a while back. Harrysong released a statement
some days ago denying he ever made the comment. The magazine editors
have now released their own statement insisting that he did say it.
Our attention has been drawn to a very disparaging comment from Harrysong, an up and coming artiste over an interview we conducted with him at Kcee's Omole Phase 2, Ikeja, Lagos home.
As a responsible medium, Yes International! had wanted to ignore him and his deliberate act of mischief. But on a second thought, we decided otherwise, because in our considered opinion, it will be suicidal to disregard the young man's insinuations and cheap blackmail. However, we are also not unaware of Harrysong's ignorance and this again is a restraining factor on our side.
So, we
wish to inform Harrysong and people like him that a print medium or any
organization for that matter that deals in news has a right to stagger any
interview. What is giving him sleepless
nights is the content of the interview which very few people will be proud
of. But he did not speak under duress.
So, we are wondering what prompted this sudden outburst and antagonism. More
so, when he applauded the interview at the time it was first used on the cover
of our magazine.
For the
records, it is important to state that this controversial interview resurfaced
because our website crashed and in rebuilding it, we are uploading our lost
materials. In addition, we wish to inform Harrysong that the original tape is
still intact and if he wishes to listen to his voice one more time, he is free
to drop by at our Budland, Ikeja, Lagos office. Likewise any other person.
