Riky Rick Explains Why He Regrets His Metro FM Awards Speech

Riky Rick Explains Why He Regrets His Metro FM Awards Speech! Back in 2017, after winning Best Hit Single Award at the Metro FM Awards, Riky went on a rant in his acceptance speech.

Riky called out record labels and radio stations including Metro FM for pushing their artists’ music to get airplay and awards. He called 90% of the music on radio at the time was garbage. “If ni**az can pay for these f**king awards then my ni*ga I don’t want them…” Riky tweeted after the awards.

Fast forward two years later, Riky has come out to say he regrets his speech that went viral and sparked a huge debate on social media.

“I’ve got a habit of speaking, sometimes at the wrong time. Like saying the right thing at the wrong time. So, obviously there was backlash, a lot of it, you know. But that’s something you’ve got to deal with. I’ve got friends at that specific station and I felt like I disrespected the relationship that I had with those friends and those people that supported me throughout my career,” Riky said during an interview on Trending SA.

At the time he had also refused to apologize to SABC saying, “I will not sacrifice my morals and all that s**t to be on the f**king radio.” I guess time changes feelings and views.
