Nigerian Afrobeat artist Oxlade recently expressed that he feels more appreciated by fans in Ghana compared to those in his home country, Nigeria.

During an interview, the singer discussed the overwhelming support he’s received from the Ghanaian audience and why he chose to collaborate with Ghanaian hip-hop icon Sarkodie on his debut album, “Oxlade from Africa.”

Oxlade explained that the decision to feature Sarkodie, who is celebrated as one of the most influential artists in African hip-hop, was a natural choice due to the strong connection he has with Ghana and its music scene.

Sarkodie’s vast influence and artistry, according to Oxlade, made him the perfect fit for the project.

The Afrobeat star emphasized the sense of community and warmth he feels from Ghanaian fans, which has encouraged him to explore more collaborations in the country’s music industry.

Oxlade also addressed some of his previous posts on X (formerly Twitter), where he alluded to issues he was facing with certain “OGs” in the Nigerian music industry.

The posts stirred discussions online, with fans speculating about who the “OGs” might be and what had led to his frustrations.

Clarifying these remarks, Oxlade shared that the posts were rooted in his dissatisfaction with how certain established figures in the Nigerian music scene attempt to control or influence younger artists’ careers.

“I don’t like the idea of people trying to play god with your life and career,” he explained.

“Some individuals in the industry think they can dictate your success or failure, and it’s frustrating.

Sometimes they feel I’m not respectful enough when I meet them, which becomes an issue.”

This sentiment reflects a broader challenge many young artists face in Nigeria’s highly competitive and sometimes rigid entertainment industry.

Despite his global success and growing fanbase, Oxlade has expressed a desire for a healthier and more supportive environment for emerging talent in Nigeria.

He believes that the industry needs to move away from gatekeeping behaviors and focus on fostering collaboration and growth.

Despite these frustrations, Oxlade remains committed to his craft and continues to push boundaries with his music.

His collaboration with Sarkodie on his debut album is just one of many steps he’s taking to strengthen his presence in the African music scene, with plans to further expand his audience across the continent.

The singer hopes that by bridging gaps between different African countries through music, he can contribute to a more unified and thriving African sound.

Oxlade’s journey reflects the complexities of navigating fame and success in Nigeria while building connections across borders.

His appreciation for Ghana’s support, coupled with his desire to see a more collaborative Nigerian music industry, highlights the evolving nature of Afrobeat and African music as a whole.
