Tino Martin sticks his neck out for his controversial best friend Jorik Scholten, better known as Lil Kleine. “A lot of middle fingers went up in the Ziggo Dome!”
Many people are done with Jorik Scholten (Lil Kleine) for good because they see him as a wife abuser. Tino Martin also initially distanced himself from the rapper after the abuse of Jaimie Vaes. But a few months later it all turned out to be on stage, because the gentlemen still turned out to be crazy.
Middle fingers
Tino is now sticking his neck out for Jorik, because last night the rapper was there special guest during his concert in the Ziggo Dome. “That was not well received by everyone,” says Bart Ettekoven Show news. “Now Tino thought: well, it can be done again, so he invited him and not everyone in the audience agreed.”
There were spies from Shownieuws in Tino’s room. “We also had a number of people there in the Ziggo Dome tonight and they said: ‘Yes, I saw a lot of middle fingers going up.’”
‘I get it’
Bart thinks it’s logical. “I understand that there are some middle fingers going up, yes. I understand that a lot of people have difficulty with the fact that he, uhhh… Yes, not much has happened during the past two years. We are not only talking about the assault case, but there is also an incident in a disco in Amsterdam.
Colleague Iris van Lunenburg: “And I don’t think it has all been completed yet. It is still open.”
Natacha Harlequin: “Do you think that that hearing should be waited for first?”
Personal choice
Bart thinks so. “Yes, maybe. I think that in the Netherlands we have so many double standards. Marco Borsato is not allowed to do anything as long as there is no statement and that seems to be possible with other people. I never really understand that.”
Presenter Dyantha Brooks: “I think it is a very personal choice for Tino, that he thinks: that is my friend. (…) He is initially just an artist, who at some point has to earn his living and be on stage again. But this is too early?”
Jellyfish
Bart: “Yes, I’m not saying that. I have never been a fan of this jellyfish in the first place, so in that respect it is always too early for me when he is on stage. As far as I’m concerned, he never needs to be on stage anywhere again.”
Natacha: “Why then?”
Bart: “He was just a very insufferable guy for a long time. He showed this several times by tearing up fines, behaving very arrogantly, walking through Amsterdam like a kind of God, driving without a helmet. He just didn’t care about the whole world.”
Natacha: “That’s a lot of opinion, isn’t it, Bart?”
