ID Cabasa emphasizes the importance of new generation artists showing respect to legends.

Renowned record producer Olumide Ogunade, also known as ID Cabasa, recently gave his perspective on the ongoing conflict between emerging artists and seasoned veterans in the Nigerian music scene.

The rift between veteran singer Eedris Abdulkareem and Burna Boy, sparked by Burna Boy’s statement about lack of mentorship in the industry, evolved into a social media feud involving other artists like OdumoduBlvck taking sides with Burna Boy, while Jaywon and some older artists supported Abdulkareem.

During a discussion on the ‘Afrobeats Podcast,’ ID Cabasa emphasized the importance of fostering mutual understanding between the new wave of artists and the established veterans to maintain harmony within the music industry.

He said;

“The new guys need to respect the OGs. The OGs need to be more honourable. You are not competing against these guys. If you see yourself as a competition to these guys, what you’ve done is that you’ve mortgaged your honour.”
