“The influencers are outbooking us.” – DJ Cleo
DJ Cleo, whose actual name is Cleopas Monyepao, talks about how the epidemic is destroying South Africa’s entertainment sector.
On the most recent edition of Mac G’s Podcast and Chill, the Radio 2000 DJ spoke about the state of affairs as a guest.
Cleo expressed his displeasure at the fact that less capable individuals are getting better jobs than gifted artists.
He claimed that the problem exists in both the acting and music industries.
“It’s just sad. I saw somewhere on social media that ‘no talent is the new talent’. I’m not talking about female DJs, even in acting, they now go for influencers, and radio — just because you have a big following,” the Tong Po hitmaker said.
“I know many DJs, many … and generally the main, [most] conscientious among us as male DJs are getting outbooked by the influencers.”
