Nigerian act, Oxlade has stated that there are individuals in the Nigerian music industry who are against him.
Before launching his debut album, ‘Oxlade From Africa,’ he shared his feelings on social media about what he sees as attempts to sabotage him.
In a recent interview, he clarified his earlier posts on X, saying that some “OGs” are involved in boycotting and blackmailing him.
Oxlade stated that his posts were driven by his dislike for “people trying to play god.”
“I hate the mindset of people trying to play god…When they feel like they can determine your trajectory,” the singer said.
He added that some problems he encounters with people in the music industry are often due to factors not related to music.
“Sometimes, it’s because they feel I see them outside and I don’t greet them well,” Oxlade explains in Pidgin English.
He added that he prefers not to argue about the issue or name anyone to keep them out of the spotlight.
On his debut album ‘Oxlade From Africa,’ the singer collaborated with Ghanaian hip-hop star Sarkodie. When asked about the reason for this collaboration, Oxlade shared that he feels more appreciated in Ghana than in Nigeria.
Oxlade’s statement about receiving more support from abroad than at home mirrors similar comments from artists like Rema, who recently said he feels more loved in India.
Oxlade is currently showcasing his first album, claiming it was driven by the racism he encountered in France. His hit song ‘Kulosa’ has received an SNEP diamond certification.
