Angie Martinez Responds To Backlash
When it was first announced that Angie Martinez would be joining Power 105.1, a long time rival of her then resident station Hot 97, listeners wondered what could have prompted the move. Money? Ego? Angie was the face of Hot 97. It was a huge shocker. According to Angie, it was about opportunity.
“It’s business and people leave jobs all the time,” she told Power 105.1’s “The Breakfast Club.” “I’m not disloyal at all. I have always been extremely loyal. I put -I don’t know how many years of my life- down for that company. Even the highest of higher ups –which is when I went to make the phone call when I decided to take this amazing offer that I got. They said [executives] you’ve served this company so well [and for] so many years, I can do nothing but wish you well.”
Despite what people think, there was no hard feelings about Angie’s departure. “It was no –how dare you? Why would you leave us? There was not –it was emotional and sad, Angie Martinez continued. “But nobody was angry. Nobody felt like I was doing the wrong thing. Everyone said this is the right thing for you to do for your career and your life,” she revealed.
Good for Angie.
