On my bdays, I usually reflect on alot of things about my life. Today, am thinking about my impact. My impact on other people’s lives specifically those in the music industry. 

He has expressed feelings of regret to those who thought he was derailing their music career. But he is not sorry for the values and standards he set in the music game, because he knows the influence he has created over the years.

One thing is clear, I am aware of my influence. I apologize to those who feel I played a part in derailing their music career. But I am not apologetic for the values and standards I uphold for our music industry. 

DJ Pinye is a pioneer in the music industry and despite the few bad stories, there are a few good ones too. He gave artistes a platform where they could share their music that would be played to the public.

The worst story out there has been that DJ Pinye has denied a lot of artistes opportunities while others say he has let them down. DNA released a whole song dissing him and many called the song ‘nursery song’.

This created a conversation on social media but with all that DJ Pinye has never responded.
