Veteran record producer ID Cabasa, also known as Olumide Ogunade, has addressed the ongoing conflict between emerging artists and industry legends.
The recent public feud between Eedris Abdulkareem and Burna Boy has ignited a passionate discussion on social media platforms. Speaking on the Afrobeats Podcast, ID Cabasa stressed the importance of mutual respect and understanding between new artists and veterans.
He believes that the younger generation should pay homage to the pioneers who paved the way, while the veterans should uphold their dignity.
ID Cabasa further emphasized the significance of respecting the OGs (original gangsters) and urged veterans to support and guide young artists instead of excessively criticizing them.
In summary, ID Cabasa advocates for a harmonious relationship between new and old talents in 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.”
