Nigeria's Veteran Award winning Rapper Babatunde Olusegun a.k.a Mode 9 went all emotional on hotfm’s breakfast radio show with TuTu Adeoba and Cheezy Charles
on his type of non-commercial rap, he re-affirms that he can never
change his type of rap to suit an audience and decries neglect on his
type of music
‘I put out a whole album nobody
cared’ ‘A whole 20 track album ‘alphabetical order’ nobody gave a f**k’,
nobody cares. ‘You see how the industry is’ how do you expect me to
feel? ‘Nigerians don’t like hip hop they only follow the hype, they
don’t even know what it is’
'I only cater for my real fans; I
don’t really care about the fair weather, band wagon jumpers ‘I cater
for my fans and they are feeling it’ i have put up too much effort in
promotion of my materials’
“It’s just some certain people in
their minds feeling that I’m not doing well’ I have decided I am going
to attack anybody who calls me up and asks ‘where have you been?’ I have
attacked everyone that has done that, I am not afraid of anybody. It’s
just the way they think. If your music is not playing in clubs then you
are not putting out the best. My music is not club music; I didn’t put
out a club album.
''Real fans of Mode 9 know where
it’s happening and know how to get it. They’ve seen it on TV and they
loved it. So I think I’m doing a great job. Imagine you doing all this
and someone walking up to you and asking, common where’ve you been?
Imagine how bad you’ll feel after spending millions of naira to promote
yourself from your own pocket.''
He also cleared the air about the purported biff with Vector concerning controversial single ‘the truth’ released in July allegedly by Vector which was widely reported as a diss track targeting mode 9.
Mode said “I don’t have any biff
with Vector. Vector was even on my album. The night that song was
released, Vector called me and said someone was trying to sabotage him.
He said the song was recorded in 2009 but whoever pushed it out in July
had some part doctored. Since Vector called me before the song started
making the waves I believed him. I even tweeted that I’m cool with
Vector. We both tweeted that we are cool with each other. But people
still went on to blow the story; begging for a war; I’m sorry but we
won’t be given anybody a war”
