Is DJ Sbu's suspension a ploy for publicity?

If you are a listener to the Joburg station YFM then you would know that there was no Sbu this morning for the breakfast show.

It was an accident that I even tuned in to them in the first place as I was station hopping all the way to the office but then I got to the office to read that he was suspended for a month it got me thinking for a bit.

I mean how does that station place someone they pay R100 000 per month on suspension? 

I mean really now, then the bitter radio station boss of that rather whack station always accuses the media of SA of lying as if they don't feed us the lies in the first place, just to get our attention.

I just think Sbuda went on holiday with his gorgeous girlfriend and they are pranking all the people about it now.

here is what it says in the Sowetan:

"DJ Sbu was suspended for the second time by his employer YFM yesterday. Management at the Gauteng-based youth station confirmed the month-long suspension but refused to disclose the reasons behind it. But Sowetan understands that the DJ, whose real name is S’busiso Leope, violated the station’s play-list policy by sneaking in and playing an album belonging to his protege Robbie Malinga. According to a source, Sbu was supposed to have only played music compiled by the station’s music compiler – DJ Monde. But the co-owner of TS Records, whose company receives royalties for their songs played on the station, was so determined to promote his artist that he bent the rules. When approached for comment, the station’s manager, Kanthan Pillay, said: “He was suspended this morning (yesterday). The rest of the details are private."

Private my foot, why is it that when some people are fired like Lee Kasumba, he can answer to it and then when it suits him, its all of a sudden a private matter. Come on man, we all know the game you are playing, Sbu is on holiday and you are trying to keep the hype on your station by turning the truth into something its not! Really now...
