Musician, Kingsley Okonkwo popularly known as Kcee has explained how he was duped of $70,000 for a song remix
The Limpopo crooner who was interviewed by content creator, Bae U on his YouTube series, talked about his music career and how he had remained relevant in the industry for almost three decades.
The 44-year-old disclosed that why he has not been doing remixes of his top songs with his Nigerian colleagues, was due to his hurtful experience with an American artiste.
Kcee recalled when he paid an unnamed American musician to feature on his song about seven years ago, but unfortunately, the person failed to honour the agreement.
He also shared how the American band One Republic reached out to him and asked for the opportunity to be on the remix of his song, Ojapiano.
Bae U asked him to confirm if he didn’t pay One Republic for the remix, and he said again that he didn’t and was shocked that the American music group would reach out to him and want to be on his song.
Kcee said:
“Well I don’t need to say too much but I can’t pay anybody for a remix. Actually I tried to pay for a remix like about eight, nine years ago and they duped me about $70k and that was when I said I would never pay anybody a dime for collaboration.
“I didn’t beg them, they messaged me. The truth is the sound was very good. The sound was new and the sound was fresh.
“A lot of people tried to hit me up for a remix and anybody that knows me, I hardly do remixes of my hit songs. And most of my hit songs are always with me but this one when they came for it, I was like who am I, I was shocked.”
