Billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola’s son-in-law and musician, Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, popularly known as Mr Eazi, has revealed that he was hated and threatened for saying that Ghana influenced Nigerian music.
Mr Eazi, speaking in an interview recently, recounted on the attacks he received because of his statement.
He said; “When the whole issue with me being cancelled, even till tomorrow, I see people come on my social media profile and still throw hate.”
“They said, ‘Oh, yeah, you said that.’ I’m like, ‘Fam, really? This energy take it to your local politician wey dey run you street.’ You feel me? I didn’t kill anybody. I said what I said.”
“And I said it many years ago. If that is the reason you hate, then you hate me for something else. It’s deeper than that. And realising that just make me feel free.”
“That’s the lens to which I look at e everything. Because I was seeing guys I was saying ‘Hello’ to, coming out to say, ‘F*ck Mr Eazi.’ And I was like, ‘Bro, you could have called me and say Eazi, I just saw this interview, you shouldn’t have said that.”
“This is what I advise you to do.’ But it just became a thing of let’s all band together. And that’s why in my song ‘We Dey’, I said, ‘Twitter fingers steady showing fake love.’ Because it’s crowd mentality. It’s trendy to hate you, and now it’s like for clicks.”
“There are people making art and nobody is caring about their life whether they jump or sit. It’s like they are invisible. Love and hate is acknowledgement of your existence, I’m even blessed to be able to invoke something.”
For those who don’t know, Mr Eazi is married to Femi Otedola’s daughter, Teni Otedola.
