Daddy Showkey in an interview with Leadership Newspaper has said there is no love in the music
industry and musicians only pretend to love one and another, but
with Leadership Newspaper has said there is no love in the music
industry and musicians only pretend to love one and another, but
when tragedy struck, one will see their true colour. He cited
himself has an example, and how artistes shunned Kefee’s burial
ceremony which took place in Sapele.
You were at Kefee’s burial, what are your thoughts?
Nothing much other than 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 aboutourselves in this industry. As
the Yoruba people say, Oju aaye ni a nse o meaning, na eye
service we dey do to oursefu!
Are you saying you don’t have friends in the music 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. when tragedy struck, one will see their true colour. He cited

Take heart showkey.....

Such is life. I read somewhere that in life, your true friends might not be more than 4 at any given time so just relax. The crowd is always after something but you can be sure it has little or nothing to do with love...its just self interest.

Do the best you can and leave the rest.

Generally, there is no love in this country.
