In a candid interview, Oxlade elaborated on his earlier posts on X, where he accused some “OGs” of boycotting and blackmailing him. “I hate the mindset of people trying to play god,” he stated, emphasizing his disdain for those who believe they can dictate the trajectory of an artist’s career.
He further explained that the issues he faces often stem from personal misunderstandings rather than professional rivalries. “Sometimes, it’s because they feel I see them outside and I don’t greet them well,” he remarked in Pidgin English, illustrating the sometimes petty nature of industry conflicts.
Oxlade, however, chose not to name names, preferring to avoid giving unnecessary attention to those he feels have wronged him. Instead, he’s focused on celebrating his music and connections with fans abroad.
