Singer African China, in an interview with
Sunday Scoop, talked about his music and the
price he pays for doing his kind of songs.
According to the LETTER TO MR PRESIDENT
crooner, he now gets threats for singing
about the sad economic state of the nation.
“The circumstance of the country now
warrants for a song like that. The economic
recession is affecting people in the country
badly and some generations that are not
aware of the value of the original song can
learn from this remix. A lot of people have
reached out to me that this is the best time
for me to have released that song. I want the
original song to remain on its own and for
this one to stand out too. I have always been
doing socially conscious songs and I wouldn’t
relent. My song, Anu Gboko, talks about the
menace of Boko Haram and other societal ills.
I have always been the mouthpiece of the
Nigerian people and no matter how much I’m
threatened, I wouldn’t stop. It is better for
me to speak my mind and die because even if
I don’t speak, I would still die,” he said.

“Some people telephone me to say that they
are coming after me. Most times, they hide
their numbers when calling and I dare them to
reveal their numbers. Since they are the ones
threatening me, they shouldn’t be afraid to
show their faces. I’m a street boy and I fear
no man. I did not call anybody’s name in the
song but I guess some people feel affected by
the lyrics of the song as a result of their
guilty conscience.”

He continued:

“I have experienced that on a number of
occasions but it cannot stop me. Even some
artistes are scared of singing songs like that
because they need the money and they fear
that their patronage would reduce. I am not
doing this for the money but for the people
I’m serving. That is what Fela did and that’s
why even in death, he stands out. There are
many musicians that were around during
Fela’s era but they are not remembered today,
so if you don’t leave a legacy behind, you
would be forgotten easily,” he said.

Now would have been the appropriate time for you to have released that your "Food No Dey"

NA NOW "FOOD NO DEY" , THIS PERIOD WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST FOR HIM TO RELEASE THAT SONG.

I think it is more like your relationship with the show promoters is not to ok. Not to mention the fact that you haven't released any good song for almost 200yrs now

Nobody is ready to pay 5k nd listen to noise...
