The Crime Program The Criminal Journal, which is led by Jenny Strömstedt and Leif GW Persson, in its latest section, discussed how the Kronofogden chases criminals online. Among other things, they describe how criminals "boast expensive Rolex watches and nice cars on social media".
In connection with the feature, pictures were also shown of the masked rapper 1.Cuz where he poses with a precious watch. But the rapper had not given his consent to appear in the program, reports Dagens Nyheter.
“I know you want to be with me in your programs. But stop in front of wrong propaganda, I pose with a Rolex that I have worked HARD for. I pose with money, which I pay taxes on. Money that I've worked HARD for, ”the rapper writes on Instagram.
TV4 backs: Failure in the routinesFollowing the criticism, TV4 now backs and cuts on the program. In a statement, the journal's producer, Kajsa Stål, writes that they regret the incident.
“The images in the feature are anonymized but of course that is not enough. We would have chosen genre pictures in a different way and note that we have broken the routines. It is unfortunate and we are sorry. TV4 has also contacted the artist and apologized ”, Kajsa Stål writes to the Cultural News.
Not the first time TV4 is criticizedIt was not long ago that TV4 received criticism about how they portrayed another Swedish rapper. When the rapper Greekazo visited TV4's Malou program after ten in early December, the interview, which was about the artist's musical success, came instead only about drugs and crime.
The interview was met with strong reactions, both in social media and magazines, and the host later admitted in an interview with Aftonbladet that there had been "imbalance" at the interview.
