Nigerian musician Kokopee has insisted that he will not stop criticising rapper Zlatan Ibile, despite calls for him to end their ongoing public feud.
The singer maintained that he would confront anyone who challenged his music career, regardless of their relationship with him.
Kokopee made the remarks while responding to criticism over his repeated comments about Zlatan, who had previously described him as an “oldest upcoming artist” and questioned his sense of rhythm.
Defending his position, Kokopee said he would not remain silent simply because of someone’s status or relationship with him, adding that even his parents would not be exempt if they attempted to challenge his actions.
“Even if it’s my father or mother who came to talk to me about what I’m doing, I must blast them, talk more of ordinary Zlatan, who TF is Zlatan?” he said.
The musician also accused Zlatan of involving himself in an issue that did not concern him, alleging that the rapper’s remarks were intended to ridicule him and undermine his musical ambitions.
Kokopee further clarified that his disagreement with Zlatan was separate from the rapper’s reported dispute involving singer Davido and social media activist VeryDarkMan.
He urged people to stand up for their careers and personal interests whenever they felt attacked, rejecting calls for them to always take the high road.
“Anybody that come for your hustle, what you do, what you love, don’t be the bigger person. As e small make you small too, energy for energy, badmouth for badmouth,” he added.
