We can’t keep treating you with kids’ gloves

DJ and radio personality Andy Dosty openly challenged rapper Tinny during a heated on-air exchange, insisting that friendship should not excuse public misconduct.

Addressing Tinny directly, Andy Dosty expressed discomfort with how the rapper has handled media appearances, particularly moments where insults were allegedly directed at others without consequence.

“You go on a radio station, you grant an interview, and then you insult people, and it’s like everybody is handling you with kids’ gloves,” Andy Dosty said. “Radio presenters are quiet. Even DJs are quiet. That one, I no understand.”

Andy made it clear that his criticism was not rooted in hostility but concern, stressing that personal ties should not prevent honest confrontation.

“You are my friend, you are my brother, and that’s exactly why I’m telling you this straight to your face,” he stated. “If something is wrong, it’s wrong.”

He added that the situation was disappointing, especially given Tinny’s status and influence in the industry.

“For me, I’m disappointed,” Andy said. “If we say we’re here to settle something, then let’s be honest about it.”

Calling for reflection, Andy urged Tinny to consider how his actions affect perceptions of legacy and respect within Ghana’s music space.

“It’s about time we respect our legacy,” he said. “All fingers are not equal, but we for know where to draw the line.”
