Rapper POV was not happy with the action taken by Radio 538 and criticized the station on social media. The reason was an application from a listener who wondered why 538 would be interested in an artist who has achieved ten million streams, but does not connect with Boev, when he has a large number of streams. “Who is POV??”, 538 responded to the listener app.
A Boef fan forwarded the conversation to the rapper, who then shared the conversation on his social media. “I don’t think they want to admit I ruined the scene. It hurts them a lot,” POV wrote. Radio 538 then issued an apology. “Of course we know who you are, bastard. “It was an ill-considered response from a colleague,” the channel wrote.
Bove believes that Radio 538, as well as other media outlets, do not pay much attention to artists like him. “They don’t care one bit. Of course they wouldn’t write that Boef was a huge hit. (..) If I was just a white Dutch artist… Oh my God, the whole media would be full and every talk show would be talking about it. But with… Boef, ssst.”
