DJ RSI

Oh dear.. oh dear… well it sounds like the management over at Tiger Tiger headquarters in Croydon are in a state of panic!

Last week DJ RSI (real name Ricky Simmonds) tweeted that he had been fired from popular club/restaurant Tiger Tiger. He claimed that the general manager told him that “there’s too many black people in your room” and he was later fired.

Croydon Today reports that the club is now considering legal action against Simmonds after widespread calls to boycott the establishment.

A spokeswoman later said,

“DJ RSI, who has made these unfounded allegations, was repeatedly requested by the venue manager, over a number of weeks, to tone down the music he was playing as customers complained that it created an intimidating atmosphere.

“He ignored these requests and consequently was not following our commercial R&B music policy, which is why he will no longer be playing at Tiger Tiger Croydon.”

Hahahahaha - I would love to see this DJ’s play-list.

“customers complained that it created an intimidating atmosphere”

Translation – Too many black faces in the building created an intimidating atmosphere.

“Commercial R&B music policy” -  Who comes under that banner then???

Hilarious.

In response to the threat of legal action Simmonds said, “If they want to take me to court for telling the truth, so be it”.
