Afrobeat singer Oxlade has revealed that despite being a Nigerian artist, he receives more love and support from Ghana than from his home country.
This sentiment was echoed in his decision to feature Ghanaian hip-hop legend, Sarkodie on his debut album, “Oxlade from Africa.”
He said the collaboration is a testament to the warmth and appreciation he has received from Ghanaian fans. In an interview, Oxlade expressed his gratitude for the Ghanaian music scene’s open arms, saying it’s a refreshing contrast to the challenges he faces in Nigeria.
He also clarified his earlier social media posts about “OGs” boycotting and blackmailing him.
According to Oxlade, his frustration stems from people trying to control his trajectory and “play god.”
He explained that some issues arise from non-music-related reasons, such as perceiving him as disrespectful or not greeting them properly.
Oxlade chose not to mention names or escalate the issue, opting instead to focus on his music.
“I hate the mindset of people trying to play god…When they feel like they can determine your trajectory.
“Sometimes, it’s because they feel I see them outside and I don’t greet them well”.
