In an interview with Channels TV, Illbliss was asked to share his thoughts on the recent disputes in the Nigerian music business around musicians who paved the path.
The rapper stated that everyone are entitled to their opinions, therefore if musicians claim that a path was not paved for them, that is their view.
Even if the elder musicians would not grant the younger artists record deals, he asserted that every young artist was influenced by an older artist.
The rapper urged the OGs to create songs, noting how ageism has become such an issue in
He noted that he doesn’t like the energy from the OGs as the younger artists are working very hard.
Reacting to his statement, Nigerian singer, Ric Hassani said: “That’s why this man my big brother and I respect him, this is INTELLIGENCE!!! Ah ah! Mchew mehnnnn. God bless you respect @illBlissGoretti”
