The Producer who recently signed to Akon‘s KonLive Records
and also declared his intention to run for governor in Imo State said he no
longer holds any bitterness toward Wizkid. He said:
” I am part of Wizkid’s history whether he likes it or not
and he cannot write his story without mentioning my name.
I have always respected Wizkid’s hustle from day one. He has
a strong will. So far so good, we have settled the misunderstanding between us
in 2015 after one of my trips from America.
We are all busy now, so I am no longer worried about
whatever people say because at the end of the day, we all have our journey in
life and success is the most important thing.
I am no longer bitter at Wizkid, the past is gone.
Samklef added that he played a role in bringing the music
industry to the position it is right now, and no one is giving him any credit
for it.
He said people had told him his career was dead before he
signed his deal with KonLive Records. He said:
Before I bagged this new deal, people told me to my face
that my career was dead.
I felt quite disappointed at those people but it got to a
time when I stopped having any feeling about that remark. I realized it was not
about how people saw me but the perception I had of myself.
So far, I have been trying to stay relevant. Consistency is
the key.
Nigerians are so sentimental and they don’t appreciate their
own and that is why I pity so many talented people that had reigned in the
past. Once you are no longer in the limelight, they forget about you. They do
not even think about the good works that you had done.
This new generation artistes do not have respect especially
when they have ‘blown’. They are quick to forget the people that were there
before them. They forget that what they do to others would always come back to
haunt them.
I don’t ever wish bad for anyone. I have paid my dues and I
played my role in building this music industry that everyone is benefiting from
and no one is giving me my credit but God has crowned my effort with glory and
He decided to pay me with this new deal
