‘Colleagues, industry players backstabbing me’, Rapper Vector cries out

Nigerian hip-hop artist, Olanrewaju David Ogunmefun, better
known as Vector Tha Viper, has opened up on the attitude of some of his
colleagues and music executives towards him.

He said some of his colleagues are backstabbing him by
rubbishing his brand abroad.

The ‘King Kong’ crooner said he has been tagged “stubborn”
and “troublesome” because he doesn’t compromise.

Vector said it is hilarious that those who backstab him
always act nice in his presence.

On his X handle, the rapper wrote, “I’ve been holding back a
lot. If you think about it, I am the perfect example of the one who they
thought would be ‘classist’ because I rap in English and I should ‘leave all
these local affiliations’ but una no mind when Jay-Z dey rep bed Stuyvesant or
Brooklyn.

“Because I’ve always had my self awareness intact, ‘he’s
stubborn’.

“In the US, an ex affiliate of one of your darling rappers
said ‘I see why they were uncomfortable about you; you don’t bow to anyone’.

“Abi na when them go Ghana dey talk say all Vector knows how
to do is ‘trouble rap’ only for the blogger to check online and find ‘luv you
Nigeria’ and reached out to encourage me. I think he said ‘this is the most
poetic rap I’ve heard from Nigeria’.

“The funniest part is, these people literally become nice
puppy dogs when I see them. You would wonder why they are scared of a man like
me who smiles so much.”
