Little Simz puts Radio 1 on blast in series of tweets

Little Simz has taken to Twitter this afternoon to hit out at Radio 1 and the industry, putting them on blast for some alleged dodgy business.

She has said in a series of tweets that she was due to premiere her sophomore album, Stillness In Wonderland, on the station in its entirety today, before she was blocked by somebody there.

It’s another allegation of  the industry “blocking her” something which comes around all too often with UK rap artists in general, particularly King Simbi as of late.

While she doesn’t cite the reason she was given, she’s asked her supporters to @ the station with questions. Radio 1 are yet to respond in any way.

See some of the tweets below:

I never complain publicly, but to be honest I’ve had enough of certain behaviour..

imagine this , I was meant to play my album in full for you guys on BBC Radio 1 and we were pretty much 98% confirmed to do this..

mind you , it’s nothing new, I’ve been blocked left right and centre by promoters, labels, websites etc , near enough my whole career

I’m gunna start making people look and feel very silly. So much fuckery behind the scenes , people not wanting you be great.

this is just one very small example of the type of shit I have to fight everyday in order to do what I want to do. But fuck em

Mind you, it’s not all doom and gloom. Little Simz seems to prove time and time again she doesn’t need the conventional industry means to thrive, as she recently announced a mini festival and comic book in support of her second LP.
