In an interview with
Leadership
newspapers, Daddy Showkey expressed his disappointment at many Nigerian
artists who didn't bother to attend Kefee's burial. He also talked
about the time he was sick, and how none of his colleagues bothered to
see how he was doing. He says he has no friends in the entertainment
industry. Find below...
"I was disappointed that artistes did not come to
show love to their own. It is not a good thing. The lady died and it is
sad for her family. Musicians ought to have showed up and rallied round
her people, to show that they care. It was only the gospel musicians
that showed up, meaning there is no love in this industry. Nobody cares
about you if you drop dead tomorrow. I told you I was away for 3 years
because of my spinal cord
injury. Nobody came to visit me during that
time. No one from my generation of singers came to identify with me and
that is bad for a man who has given much to the industry. This makes me
think that we don’t care about ourselves in this industry. As the Yoruba
people say, Oju aaye ni a nse o meaning, na eye service we dey do to oursefu!"he said.
He said that in the
industry, he doesn't have any friend
"I don’t have a friend oh. This life wetin my eyes don see, no be small thing oh! That
experience is enough to make you cut-off, because when they see me with
money they associate with Showkey; but when Showkey had a challenge, an
accident- no one could call or say we feel your pain. So me, I no get
friend. My friends are those in Ajegunle that we can say the truth to
ourselves. It is only Pasuma that I can call my friend- he comes to my
house anytime and we chat about things" he said.
