Primedia Fires DJ Fresh And Euphonik Following Rape Accusations

Primedia Fires DJ Fresh And Euphonik Following Rape Accusations. DJ Fresh and Euphonik have now left Primedia Broadcasting for good. The two DJs were back in January, after being accused on Twitter of allegedly raping a woman, along with three other women, 10 years ago. The broadcaster suspended them immediately after learning of these allegations, however, they have been fired from Radio 947, Primedia Broadcasting announced on Wednesday night, 10 February.

In a statement, Primedia Broadcasting’s interim CEO, Geraint Crwys-Williams, said the decision to release the pair from their contracts “does not reflect a view on the veracity of any allegations against either Euphonik or Fresh. Rather it prioritises Primedia Broadcasting’s business imperatives. We believe that this decision is in the best interest of our company and our various stakeholders”.

Gauteng police confirmed that a formal rape case was opened against the two at the Sunnyside police station on January 13 by the women who levelled the allegations against them.

The woman had prayed for the duo to acknowledge they had raped her, also saying that she was a virgin at the time of the alleged rape and had to take anxiety medication before she could speak about the incident on social media. She wrote: “@DJFreshSA & @euphonik will you ever acknowledge drunking (drugging) me & further raping me? I was completed (completely) drugged I don’t whether you BOTH raped me or 1 of you did & you later laughed about it the next morning saying we (me & 3 girls) were so drunk we kept blacking out but nasidlwengula (you raped us)”.

DJ Fresh and Euphonik have both denied the rape allegations. After Primedia released a statement about the termination of the contract, both DJs also released a statement of their own. See below:
