Veteran Nigerian rapper Palisade Ogunka, best known as \u2018SkyB\u2019, has expressed disappointment over what he sees as a lack of support from a new generation of Port Harcourt music stars, including Grammy Award winner Burna Boy.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the latest episode of the KAA Truth podcast, \u2018the Pray For Me\u2019 crooner reflected on his role in the city\u2019s music scene. He said some artistes he once supported have now grown distant from him.<\/p>\n

SkyB said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI once gave a PA to the Governor an artiste\u2019s number, and he called the artiste and told him he wanted him to perform with me at an event, and the artiste declined because he didn\u2019t want to share the stage with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe artiste rejected the contract because he doesn\u2019t want me to be part of the deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

SkyB said he supported artists such as Mr. 2Kay and Timaya during their peak careers. He stressed that he and several others made major sacrifices to help grow the music scene in Port Harcourt.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are brothers I have helped in the past. We invested a lot of resources,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The singer singled out Burna Boy, saying he was disappointed by what he sees as a lack of recognition for the artistes who helped shape the industry before his rise to fame.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is annoying me most now is Burna Boy coming into the limelight and not remembering me and those who paved the way for Port Harcourt musicians. He is supposed to support me financially or collaborate with me to rejuvenate my career. That is the problem I am having,\u201d SkyB lamented.<\/p>\n

He further claimed that tribal considerations may have contributed to the limited support he has received.<\/p>\n

\u201cAssuming I am a Yoruba or an Igbo man, maybe they could have considered helping me. But because I am from Rivers, the envy is too much,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
