Weeks after the release of Sebee
remix, featuring two of Nigeria’s pop singers, there are indications that
Olamide and Oritsefemi are currently engaged in silent feud following a
collaboration with fast-rising Afro-pop singer, Sossi.
It was learnt during the week that
problem started weeks after Sossi dropped the remix. Sossi and his
management were said to have paid Olamide N1.5 million for him to feature in
the remix while Oritsefemi was allegedly paid N500,000.
This disparity in the fee, according
to our source, have angered Oritsefemi when he got to know about it. “He’s
believed to be angry with Sossi and his management over their decision to pay
him less fee as against Olamide, who he perceived to be his junior in the music
industry,” said a source who is close to the record label.
Confirming the development, a source
close to Oritsefemi said that the singer was not happy when he learnt that
Olamide was paid more money than him, as he decided to express dissatisfaction
over the matter.
WG
also gathered that there had been an unconfirmed animosity between Olamide and
Oritsefemi over the latter’s decision not to feature the former in his
yet-to-be released album.
Meanwhile, reacting to the
development, a source reasoned that there was no need to create unnecessary
feud between the two superstars, adding that “the artistes got what they asked
for, and the label paid them what it felt they truly deserved.”
Efforts to contact Olamide on the
phone proved abortive as his manager, Alex’s cell phone was switched off
permanently.
Oritsefemi who was recently
discharged from the hospital would not want to be dragged into the matter. But
when contacted, Sossi Manager, Michael, said he was not aware of the
development, promising, however, to look into the matter.
