New anti-gun crime adverts will appear on music channel MTV – in a move branded hypocritical by one of the stars.
Entrepreneur Laban Roomes, Singer Estelle, Olympic boxer James De Gale and Apprentice winner Tim Campbell feature in the black and white advertisement campaign, backed by police for £32,000.
The short interviews, sponsored by Scotland Yard’s Trident anti-gun crime unit, aim to prevent young black people being caught up in gun culture.
But one role model branded the broadcaster “totally hypocritical” for also glamorising violence.
Dragon’s Den entrepreneur Laban Roomes said some music videos are a big influence on those carrying guns.

Detective Chief Superintendent Helen Ball, head of Trident, said music videos alone were not responsible for glamorising gun crime.
She said: “We think there is a whole range of influences on young people and I am not going to say one aspect is more important than another.
“Hearing how successful people like Estelle or Tim Campbell were able to make great success of their lives, without a gun, is so important for our young communities.”

Every two weeks Goldgenie opens up its work shops situated at the Business Innovation centre in Enfield and Hatton Gardens EC1 to aspiring entrepreneurs.
Students studying business at local colleges and Universities watch with interest as they see objects turn to gold during the unique gold plating process.
Laban Roomes often gives the students an inspirational and motivational talk about himself, how he started the Goldgenie company, and his appearance on the BBC Dragon’s Den TV programme where he secured financial backing from James Caan.
Students catch a rare and invaluable insight into what it takes to work with companies such as Harrods, HMV, Selfridges and of course James Caan!
Laban is happy to go these educational visits entirely free of charge and sees it as a necessary requirement to share his knowledge to anyone wanting to better themselves – especially young entrepreneurs.
We told you last month that Laban would be presenting an award at the prestigious Macworld Awards. Well, it happened and the evening was a great success.
Laban presented the evening’s Grand Prix Award for the best product among all those winning their categories on the evening. Bento by FileMaker took the votes and Laban handed over the special trophy to FileMaker’s Northern Europe Regional Manager, Tony Speakman.
The photo shows Laban backstage before making the presentation. He’s holding the special glass trophy with its gold-plated top expertly added by the Goldgenie team. With Laban in the photo are, from left to right, Richard West (Apple’s UK & Ireland Business Manager, Print & Publishing), Ingrid Kirschner (Apple UK’s Senior Account Executive for Distribution), and Georgina Dias (Apple’s UK & Ireland Product Manager for iPod, TV, Mac mini, and iMac).
You can also watch a 10-minute video of the awards highlights here – look out for Laban from about the 7:05 mark.
I’m sure you’re all watching the latest series of Big Brother on Channel 4. Keep a watchful eye out for the bathroom and shower fittings next time the cameras are in there. No, I’m not suggesting anything kinky! It’s just that you may notice that things sparkle and shine. That’s because Laban and the team were in the house before the new series started gold-plating the bathroom and shower rooms. It was a long job and had to be done in situ. So long, in fact, that when Laban emerged, he said he felt like he’d been a contestant.
Now there’s an idea for the next series!
Goldgenie has a special relationship with all things Apple: our iPod and iPhone range are some of our biggest sellers. The Apple design combined with our gold-plating expertise is always going to produce a winner.
It comes as no surprise, therefore, that the organisers of this year’s Macworld Awards have commissioned Goldgenie to gold-plate one of the awards. What’s more, they want Laban to present the winner with his or her award, too.
The awards take place at the O2 Arena on June 12th. You can find out more about the awards here.
