Here are some excerpts (verbatim):
If you are taking me to a club to listen to Western music, forget it, I wont go there
Don’t be deceived by this collabo[ration] thing, [be]cause they are trying to tap from us
If you don’t open the doors for us, we would shut our door.
I don’t need to do a collabo[ration] with somebody before you can start playing my music there
We play your songs in Nigeria, did you do a collabo with anybody?
We don’t need no collaboration from no artist. We don’t need no Jay Z, we don’t need no Kanye West…
What do you think? Are they being short sighted or shrewd business men? Watch the video below.
