The bitter war between Nigerian music stars, Kingsley Okonkwo, popularly known as Kcee, and Flavour (Chinedu Izuchukwu Okoli), has seemingly not ended.
In a recent interview, the Limpopo crooner revealed that he has no idea why his colleague and kinsman, Flavour, appears to be holding a grudge against him.
He said; “Till now, I don’t understand the reason for his beef with me, especially that incident where he alleged that someone was coping him. The truth is that when some people had written you off, hoping that you would be stagnant, and you work hard and get to a level they don’t expect you to reach, that was what happened.”
“I came into the music industry before Flavour. Soso Soberekon brought him to me years ago to sign to my record label. I was already driving exotic cars and balling before he came to Lagos. I told Soso I can’t sign Flavour because I didn’t see potentials in him at that time. It wasn’t because I have something against him.”
“I don’t think that was why he is holding a grudge against me. But time shall tell. A lot of my colleagues underrate my talent and my humility also contributed to that. Because I don’t brag. I don’t need it. But as I always say, time will always prove them wrong. My work always prove every doubter wrong. Some of those who doubted me in the past have come to apologise to me and admitted that they were wrong about me.”
For those who don’t know, the rift surfaced after a heated exchange on social media in 2024. Flavour sparked the conflict by insinuating that someone had copied his musical style.
Though he didn’t mention names, Kcee took the jab and clapped back, telling Flavour to stop acting like the sole custodian of Igbo cultural music and reminding him that he was in the industry first.
