Adams Ibrahim Adebola, often known as VJ Adams, describes how he was due eight months’ money early in his career but continued to work despite it.
The popular host claimed in an interview with Chude that he was not paid for eight months of work, yet he continued to work even after other presenters departed. VJ Adams stayed mute when asked what the organization’s name was.
He said that the labor needed to continue and that, because he loved it, he was willing to comply.
He also stated that he encouraged younger presenters who joined in to continue working without compensation and apologized to them on the broadcast since no one should labor for free.
In his words: “All other presenters resigned; they left. So there was a demand for the work to continue, and I was willing. I was working non-stop. I was showing up every day. No one should, though. At some point when other people, younger presenters, joined, and I think I’m gonna apologize to them now, I almost used because I was older and I was working to tell them to also continue working. That’s a terrible thing to do. I shouldn’t have.”
