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
rap’.
‘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 .
