DJ Tiiny has been dropped by Capital Xtra after it emerged he had asked for payments of £200 to play songs on his weekly radio show.
Such a practise runs contrary to the Ofcom broadcasting code, and is not permitted on UK radio.
The DJ, who tours with Stormzy, released a statement saying he “carelessly and irresponsibly took advantage” of his position.
He also apologised to all “those I have let down”.
