It was always genuine love. No catch, no ego, no god complex and no expectation. Great at what you did on radio but even better as a human being. You let many of us walk through the door purely based on merit. Did your best to help even the underdogs thrive. Live on, Legend ❤️ https://t.co/D6Gps9HKeX

The Afternoon Drive… Bigtyme OWNED it. I remember looking forward to the stressful journey to the former Rhythm FM office because I’ll get to see Biggie.

And so the sun sets on my man Onome Oyaide (male). I don’t know what determines who gets taken away. But that system certainly has a glitch. Rest well my friend. No more pain.
