the most controversial artistes in the Nigerian music
scene. He has had rifts with several artistes ranging
from his former boss, Kenny Ogungbe to Don Jazzy,
D'banj and even MI.
But the singer may be tired of all the 'beef' with his
latest single, Baba Olowo where he praise-sang all the
people he has had issues with.
Some might see such moves as a marketing strategy
since he is no longer as popular as he used to be but in
an exclusive chat with Saturday Beats, the artiste said,
"Praising people on my new song was not a strategy
and my reason for doing it is because it is their time.
They are the rave of the moment."
Hansome believes that the issue he had with MI in
particular, made the rap artiste to become popular
today.
"A lot of people take things too personal at times,
especially MI and Baba Keke. They took my music too
personal. If I did not beef MI, he would not be where
he is today. I am not the one that made him, he has
Chocolate City and Audu Maikori to thank for that and
they are my friends but at the end of the day, it was a
marketing strategy for them. I put him at a point
where people could listen and appreciate his music. I
am looking forward to us working together.
"MI is at the top of his game; he has several
endorsement deals. Because of the issues I had, the
endorsement I was supposed to have with Globacom
was cancelled and I don't blame the company.
"Most of these people are successful today because
they were able to cover up their controversies but the
record label I thought was my record label did not
cover up my controversy. Instead, they were the ones
pushing it outside. In their mind, I had already been
sentenced to death; they did not want me to be on top
of my game again so that people would think they
made me. I don't know why they did that to me, I wish
they could give me a reason. I wish we could be put on
national television and speak our minds and clear the
air. I have no hard feelings towards anybody. If they
could not kill me then, they cannot kill me now," he
said.
He told Saturday Beats that he has since apologised to
the people who felt offended by his song especially
Ogungbe and MI.
"I see Baba Keke as my father; I don't know how he
sees me. The truth is that he is old enough to give birth
to me and when it comes to business, he taught me
virtually everything I know. If your father should shout
on you when he is angry, it is your duty to go and
meet him later to apologise. I went to meet him and
said that I knew he was angry and wanted the best for
me so we should forget everything. I apologised as a
son and he ought to forgive. I called MI and told him
that we could not continue with the beef and that was
it," he said.
