Rapper Vector Tha Viper Opens Up On Why He Is Upset With M.i by Emmanuel1999(m): 7:02pm On Dec 12, 2017 |
Nigerian Hip Hop star, Vector
tha Viper, may look like a
gentleman but he is not afraid
of confrontations, as he has
openly revealed why he is
having issues with fellow
rapper, M.I Abaga.
While speaking in an interview
with PUNCH, Popular Nigerian
rapper, Olarenwaju Ogunmefun,
better known by his stage name
as Vector tha Viper, who said he
may look like a gentleman but is
not afraid of confrontations, has
opened up on why he is upset
with his fellow rapper, M.I Abaga.
Recall that few weeks ago, Jude
Abaga a.k.a M.I, released a song,
“You Rappers Should Fix Up Your
Lives”, where he criticised all
rappers in Nigeria, saying they
were not as good as South
African rappers, and didn’t
project Nigerian rappers in a
good light, and after the release
of the song, Vector admitted that
he wasn’t happy about it.
The Hip hop artist, Vector, an
encounter with Sunday Scoop,
said he was upset with M.I
because he felt there were better
ways he could have addressed
the issue rather than going
public and comparing Nigerian
rappers with South African
rappers.
He said; “No matter how much
your parents flog you, they will
not tell outsiders that you are a
stupid child. He doesn’t have to
say it openly that SA rappers are
‘killing’ Nigerian rappers.
“I have never said this before,
but the simple truth is that we
shouldn’t wash our dirty linen in
public. It is fine to discipline
people at home and I support
that. If your children mess up,
you can discipline them.
“When Jay-Z released the Death
of Auto-Tune, he addressed
everyone and said they should all
go back to rap music. He didn’t
say a group of rappers is doing
better than one group. I didn’t
like the fact that he called out
Nigerian rappers openly and was
comparing us with SA rappers.”
Speaking on why he has not
collaborated with MI on a song
all these years, he said it was just
unfortunate that whenever they
wanted to work together,
something always came up.
“We tried to work together on
two different occasions, but it
just didn’t happen. The first time
was when he sent a beat to me
to work on and he was
supposed to be on the remix of
my song, King Kong. Classiq later
took his verse and did very well.
We can still do something
together later in the future. It is
music; it is nothing serious,” he
noted. 1 Like |

Vector is right, M.I shouldn't have compared our rappers in public with rappers from another (Xenophobic) country..

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS,NIGERIANS DONT TAKE RAP AS SERIOUSLY AS THEY DO IN SOUTH AFRICA, AS A RESULT OF THAT,NIGERIAN RAP IS VERY WATERED DOWN. THERE ARE ONLY A FEW AMONG THE WELL KNOWN ARTISTS THAT CAN GO TOE TO TOE WITH THE RAPPERS IN SOUTH AFRICA. WORD IS BOND! |
