Annie Mac has accused critics of having a “problem” with conversations about race after she faced a backlash for playing a song by the rapper Dave on her radio show.
The BBC Radio 1 host attacked some listeners for being offended by the Brixton-born artist’s lyrics, which deal with the experience of being black and how it shapes your life.
Mac said it was “crucial” artists made music that dealt with the issue of race and asked listeners to instead “open their ears”.
Dave, 20, scored a number one single with Funky Friday in 2018.
