David Whitely, aka Sideman, quit after the
BBC defended use of N-word in report
The BBC is still hoping it could work with DJ Sideman in the future after his resignation from 1Xtra forced the corporation to U-turn on the decision to broadcast the N-word.
BBC bosses had no warning that David Whitely, aka Sideman, was about to quit the radio station when he published an
Instagram video on Saturday saying he no longer felt able to work with the corporation.
