New Generation Artistes Should Respect Legends In The Music Industry – ID Cabasa

on

Veteran music producer, Olumide Ogunade, popularly known as ID Cabasa, has openly expressed his opinion on the conflict between new generation artistes and legends in the Nigerian music industry.

However, it could be recalled that veteran singer, Eedris Abdulkareem, recently berated Burna Boy after he claimed that no Nigerian artiste paved the way for him in the music industry.

The situation degenerated into a serious dispute, on social media, between the duo, with fast-rising rapper OdumoduBlvck and other new artistes picking sides with Burna Boy while Jaywon and some veterans took sides with Eedris Abdulkareem.

ID Cabasa, while speaking in an interview session on the ‘Afrobeats Podcast,’ said for peace to reign in the Nigerian music industry, there has to be mutual understanding between the new generation artistes and the veterans.

He said the new-generation artistes need to respect the veterans, and the veterans need to be more honourable.

In his words: “The new guys need to respect the OGs. The OGs need to be more honourable. You are not competing against these guys. If you see yourself as a competition to these guys, what you’ve done is that you’ve mortgaged your honour.”

The renowned music producer urged music legends to support young artistes instead of ‘being too critical’ about them.

Nollywood veteran actress, Patience Ozokwor, has disclosed and talked about how people tried to impose titles and name-tags on her at the beginning of her career and how she handled it.

The veteran actress said when she began her acting career, people tried to compare her with legendary actress, Liz Benson, by tagging her as ‘Liz Benson of Enugu’ but she rejected the tag because she believes they are both unique.

She disclosed that she also rejected suggestions to answer her husband’s first name as her surname and instead chose to bear his family name.
She actually disclosed this in an interview session via a media platform.

Her words: “I don’t know how it started, all I know was that when I started my acting career and people started recognizing this woman from Enugu.”

“So, there was a time I came to Lagos for a shoot and people started saying, ‘That’s her, this woman from Enugu.’ They said, “You’re the ‘Liz Benson of Enugu.”

“I said, ‘No, with all due respect, I don’t want to be like Liz Benson, I want to be myself. I am ‘Patience Ozokwor of Enugu’.”

“And some people came and said, ‘You don’t even need to answer Patience Ozokwor again. Answer your husband’s first name Edmund; Patience Edmund.’

“I said, ‘No, because in Igbo land, you’re not just married by one man, you’re married by a family. I don’t know about other tribes.”

“So, my husband’s people, their name is Ozokwor. When you mention Ozokwor in any part of this world, people who know the Ozokwors would say ‘I know where she comes from’,” she concluded.
