Afrobeat sensation Oxlade has made a bold revelation, sharing that, despite his Nigerian roots, he feels more love and support from Ghana than from his home country. This sentiment was highlighted by his decision to feature Ghanaian hip-hop legend Sarkodie on his debut album, “Oxlade from Africa”, a collaboration that underscores the appreciation he’s received from Ghanaian fans.
In a recent interview, he spoke fondly of Ghana’s music scene, describing it as a place where he feels truly embraced and welcomed. “The love I get from Ghana is unmatched. It’s a refreshing contrast to some of the struggles I face back home in Nigeria,” Oxlade remarked. His deep connection with Ghanaian audiences is evident in the success of his music there, where he continues to receive overwhelming support.
The collaboration with Sarkodie isn’t just a strategic move; it’s a heartfelt nod to the Ghanaian fans who have stood by him, helping to elevate his music career across Africa. The rapper’s legendary status in Ghana only strengthens the bond between Oxlade and his Ghanaian audience. Their track on “Oxlade from Africa” is already gaining traction, thanks in large part to the Ghanaian fanbase’s dedication to pushing the young artist’s music to new heights.
However, Oxlade’s admiration for Ghana comes against the backdrop of his challenges within Nigeria’s music industry. He recently addressed frustrations he had expressed on social media, where he spoke about industry “OGs” attempting to “boycott” and “blackmail” him. According to Oxlade, these figures in the Nigerian music scene seem to want to control his career trajectory, a power dynamic he resents.
“I hate the mindset of people trying to play god…When they feel like they can determine your trajectory,” he revealed. He also noted that some of these challenges arise from non-music-related issues, such as not being perceived as respectful enough in social situations.
Rather than letting this negativity derail his focus, Oxlade has chosen to channel his energy into his music and his fans, particularly those in Ghana who continue to offer him the encouragement he craves.
