The singer also talked about the time he was sick, and how none of his colleagues bothered to see how he was doing. He says he has no friends in the entertainment industry.
“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 ser vice we dey do to oursefu!” he said.

He went further by saying he does not have any friend in the industry.
“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.
