'IT'S FOR THE KIDS' ft. Jonathan Richard (VMA's, Lizzo's Plagiarism, Wiley Vs Ed Sheeran)

Welcome back to Don’t Alert the Stans! For this week’s episode, the boys are joined by Social Media Manager Jonathan Richard. Jonathan has previously ran social media accounts for the likes of Jamiroquai, Tom Walker, Hozier, KISS Radio and many others. Kicking off the news this week is Wiley as once again he’s found himself embroiled in a one sided beef. This time with Ed Sheeran who he claims is using Grime for clout. Next up, Lizzo’s much debated accusation that she stole her ‘100% That Bitch’ line from @MinaLioness. The boys discuss whether its fair to say that Lizzo really stole the tweet and the potential legalities. Closing the news this is week is a lengthy review of the 2019 VMA’s, where the boys share their thoughts on the winners and losers while also praising Missy Elliott and Normani’s performances. Rounding off the show is an comprehensive interview with Jonathan Richard. The boys quiz him on his early experiences with social media, transitioning into the music industry, artists/brands who are using social media effectively, how the internet would have impacted artists back in the day and more.
