NPR Music (TinyDesk) has Responded To Lyfe Jennings Claims That he was told His Celebrity Status Wasn’t Big Enough. Loren from The Breakfast Club reached out the streaming music platform and they seem to not want to take accountability for what Lyfe revealed because their response was very generic and didn’t address what he said directly.
“The NPR Music team curates the Tiny Desk concert lineup using their editorial discretion to ensure there is music discovery and inclusion; showcasing emerging talent as often as well-known artists. The team gets pitched by hundreds of artists big and small. Being a big celebrity is no guarantee to getting a Tiny Desk but it doesn’t disqualify you either. Often it is about timing in the artist’s career and our own schedules.
Our team is small with limited capacity to film approximately 10 shows per month. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate every artist who’d like to perform.” [LINK IN BIO FOR LYFE’s RESPONSE]
