Joy FM broadcaster Kofi Hayford, has bemoaned the disrespect that is usually associated with the disc jockeying career.

According to Kofi Hayford, a section of Ghanaians have over the years looked down on DJs, considering their craft as inferior.

Sharing his concerns on Saturday, October 25, 2024, when he appeared as a guest on the Road to Guinness Ghana DJ Awards 2024 show on Joy Prime, he said that behaviour should not be encouraged.

Before commending Merqury Republic, the organizers of the DJ awards for holding the event for the 12th time, Kofi Hayford told the host Michelle Agyekum, about his encounter with an acquaintance that sought to disrespect radio broadcasting and disc-jockeying."A mate from basic school came into my inbox and said that he was disappointed that I was a Radio Broadcaster, and that when I was in school I was very smart and he thought I'd become a doctor.
