Grandpa records singer Mistony chased away like a stray dog at KBC for being skimpily dressed
Ex-UK singer now signed to Grandpa Records, Mistony, recently had to cancel her interview at KBC after security guards denied her entry for being skimpily dressed.
The singer shared in an interview that the guards told her to wear a leso before entering or leave the premises. Angered by the remarks of the Security officer, the artist decided to ditch the interview in protest.
She said that other stations had allowed her into their stations and couldn’t understand why KBC had to freeze her.
“I was well dressed, and I think it is time we start embracing modern culture. Above all, I am an artist; and media houses know that better. I felt humiliated,” she narrated.
Dress code
The Afro-pop musician has termed the incident as awful and humiliating while Grandpa Records CEO Refigah wondered why the station had a dress code in the first place.
“It felt extremely awful to be turned away by that TV station, yet other media houses received me well in those clothes. I respect my body. So, I wouldn’t expose it with an ulterior motive. I was well dressed, and I think it is time we start embracing modern culture. Above all, I am an artiste; and media houses should know better. I felt humiliated,” Mistony told Hot 96 FM.
Refigah said:
“There was a time we were at the TV station for an interview, and they did not mention anything to do with attire. So, why introduce a dress-code now?” poses Refigah.
