Veteran disc jockey Kalonje has threatened to sue YouTuber Oga Obinna over defaming statements on his YouTube channel.
During the show, Obinna claimed Kalonje struggled with live mixing.
In his demand letter, the DJ accused Obinna of slander and blatant unprofessionalism.
Kalonje said Obinna tarnished his brand with complete disregard for his feelings.
“It is truly baffling to me how I ended up being dragged into someone else’s interview, let alone why anyone would attempt to tarnish my name and brand for the sake of a few fleeting views and likes. My brand is something I take with the utmost seriousness, and I refuse to entertain any form of defamation, whether it’s intended as a joke or not.” The demand letter read in part.
Kalonje said Obinna’s remarks that he lacks skills for live mixes blatant defamation of his brand.
“Your complete disregard for others when you recklessly spew harmful statements about someone else’s brand is not only appalling but utterly irresponsible. I have dedicated years of hard work to building my reputation, and your actions are nothing short of unprofessional and immature,”
“Note that your actions of making such utterances amount to defamation and are a threat to our client’s business and brand ABOUT current and future bookings,”
“We shall proceed to institute the requisite legal proceedings against you at your own cost, risk and consequences.” The letter said.
