Rapper, Mode 9 Goes Emotional: "I Released An Album, No One Cared"

Nigerian Rapper & six-time Headies awards
'Lyricist on the Roll' winner, Babatunde Olusegun
popularly known as Mode 9 went all emotional
on hotfm's breakfast radio show with TuTu
Adeoba and Cheezy Charles.
On his type of non-commercial rap, he re-affirms
that he can never change his type of rap to suit
an audience and decries neglect on his type of
rap'
'I put out a whole album nobody cared' 'A whole
20 track album 'alphabetical order' nobody gave
a f**k', nobody cares.
'You see how the industry is' how do you expect
me to feel? 'Nigerians don't like hip hop they only
follow the hype, they don't even know what it is'
I only cater for my real fans; I don't really care
about the fair weather, band wagon jumpers 'I
cater for my fans and they are feeling it' I have
put up too much effort in promotion of my
materials'.
"It's just some certain people in their minds
feeling that I'm not doing well' I have decided I
am going to attack anybody who calls me up and
asks 'where have you been?'
I have attacked everyone that has done that, I am
not afraid of anybody. It's just the way they
think. If your music is not playing in clubs then
you are not putting out the best.
My music is not club music, I didn't put out a
club album. Real fans of Mode 9 know where it's
happening and know how to get it. They've seen
it on TV and they loved it. So I think I'm doing a
great job. Imagine you doing all this and someone
walking up to you and asking, common where've
you been? Imagine how bad you'll feel after
spending millions of naira to promote yourself
from your own pocket.
He also cleared the air about the purported biff
with Vector concerning controversial single 'the
truth' released in July allegedly by Vector which
was widely reported as a diss track targeting
mode 9.
Mode said "I don't have any biff with Vector.
Vector was even on my album. The night that
song was released, Vector called me and said
someone was trying to sabotage him.
He said the song was recorded in 2009 but
whoever pushed it out in July had some part
doctored. Since Vector called me before the song
started making the waves I believed him. I even
tweeted that I'm cool with Vector. We both
tweeted that we are cool with each other.
But people still went on to blow the story,
begging for a war, I'm sorry but we won't be
giving anybody a war".
