there is no love in the music industry and musicians only pretend to
love one and another, but when tragedy struck, one will see their true
colour.
He cited himself has an example, and how artistes shunned
Kefee's burial ceremony which took place in Sapele. You were at
Kefee's burial, what are your thoughts?
Nothing much other than I was disappointed that artistes did not come
to show love to their own. It is not a good thing. The lady died and it
is sad for her family. Musicians ought to have showed up and rallied
round her people, to show that they care. It was only the gospel
musicians that showed up, meaning there is no love in this industry.
Nobody cares about you if you drop dead tomorrow. I told you I was
away for 3 years because of my spinal cord injury.
Nobody came to visit me during that time. No one from my generation of
singers came to identify with me and that is bad for a man who has
given much to the industry. This makes me think that we don't care
about ourselves
in this industry. As the Yoruba people say, Oju aaye ni a nse o
meaning, na eye service we dey do to oursefu!
Are you saying you don't have friends in the music industry?
I don't have a friend oh. This life wetin my eyes don see, no be
small thing oh! That experience is enough to make you cut-off, because
when they see me with money they associate with Showkey; but when
Showkey had a challenge, an accident- no one could call or say we feel
your pain. So me, I no get friend. My friends are those in Ajegunle
that we can say the truth to ourselves.
It is only Pasuma that I can call my friend- he comes to my house
anytime and we chat about things
