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 ā€“which is when I went to make the phone call when I decided to take this amazing offer that I got. They said [executives] youā€™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 ā€“how dare you? Why would you leave us? There was not ā€“it was emotional and sad, Angie Martinez continued. ā€œBut 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.
