But one follower was not impressed and claimed that Fresh should not be celebrating while people are still dying in a pandemic.
“But the virus is still out there spreading and you calling it a new year to celebrate more dying people," she said.
The 947 host at first just let it slide with a simple “OK”, but then returned with a proper clapback.
“I choose to celebrate and appreciate whatever new liberties we get, no matter how incremental - just like you are exercising your right to be a sourpuss!” he said, adding that he wished she would do it on someone else’s timeline.

As the country moved to level 3 of the nationwide lockdown on Monday, radio star DJ Fresh fought off claims he was “celebrating more people dying” when he treated himself to takeaways.
Under level 3 of the lockdown, stores are allowed to sell alcohol for home consumption and fast-food restaurants can provide drive-through services.
Well, DJ Fresh doesn’t drink at home, so he decided to hit up a takeaway to “celebrate the New Yeah!” of level 3.
But one follower was not impressed and claimed that Fresh should not be celebrating while people are still dying in a pandemic.
“But the virus is still out there spreading and you calling it a new year to celebrate more dying people," she said.
The 947 host at first just let it slide with a simple “OK”, but then returned with a proper clapback.
“I choose to celebrate and appreciate whatever new liberties we get, no matter how incremental - just like you are exercising your right to be a sourpuss!” he said, adding that he wished she would do it on someone else’s timeline.
