The
musician in an interview with Leadership newspapers expressed his
disappointment at many Nigerian artists who didn't bother to attend Kefee's
burial.
He
said:
"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!"he said. Continue
"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" he said.
