Veteran record producer, ID Cabasa, has called for unity and respect among artists in the Nigerian music industry. His plea comes on the heels of a recent social media feud between Burna Boy and Eedris Abdulkareem, which highlighted the generational divide among artists.
In an interview on the Afrobeats Podcast, ID Cabasa emphasized the need for mutual understanding and respect between new generation artists and veterans. He urged young artists to respect their predecessors, saying, “The new guys need to respect the OGs.” He also encouraged veterans to be more supportive, adding, “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.”
ID Cabasa’s comments have sparked a renewed call for unity and collaboration in the Nigerian music industry. Many artists and industry professionals have taken to social media to echo his sentiments, emphasizing the importance of working together to promote Nigerian music globally.
