The man responsible for getting the 12th man rowdy prior to kickoff and throughout the game is the Seahawks arena DJ, DJ DV One, who is stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to deciding what songs to amp the players, and crowd, up.
Of course, most players want to hear Future’s Dirty Sprite 2, but due to Russell Wilson’s relationship with Future’s baby mama, Ciara, it creates an interesting dilemma for DV.
Speaking with billboard, he touched on what it’s like to be caught in the middle of the Future x Ciara x Russell Wilson love triangle.
Check out the full interview here.
Among the players, last year it was Drake and Rick Ross. This year, I’ve been getting a lot of requests for Future. But that dynamic is weird too, because I can barely play Future with Ciara running around and that’s her baby’s dad. It’s just that he has a dope-ass album out right now, players like to hear it, it definitely gets you pumped up — even though it’s low-tempo, it’s still stuff that you want to hear — and then you’ve got Ciara running up with little baby Future and she’s dating Russell so it’s like, “Oh f—.”
If they were to ask me to play “Tony Montana” I’d be like, get the hell out of here. If they ask me to play “Commas” or “Trap N—-s” or any of this type of shit, I’m playing that all day. It’s a weird balance — how do I play this and feel comfortable?
I also feel weird playing Ciara, because I was playing Ciara before she started dating Russell. I’d play “Goodies” and stuff like that for the crowd because it’s mainstream — it’s dance-y music, it’s popular, it’s stuff that you can get away with playing. Now that she’s dating Russell, I don’t want people to be like, “He’s just playing that because she’s dating Russell.”
What’s really good that I can play too is Meek Mill — he has a couple of joints out. “Monster,” which is kind of a new version of “They Don’t Love You No Mo'” by DJ Khaled. It builds and it’s hard — you can play it and they’re gonna feel it, every time.
