Skiibii, the singer, says fans are usually the major cause of rifts among artistes.
In a chat with HipTV on Wednesday, Skiibii said supporters often incite artistes against one another based on speculations, thereby causing conflict.
The 30-year-old singer advised his colleagues to always let love lead.
“I feel like most times the problem is from the fans. They will just come together to say something like Michael Jackson is better than Tupac,” he said.
“Tupac will go and carry a gun saying ‘They said you are better than me, let’s go’. So from there, they both start looking at each other differently.
“But as for me, I don’t think it’s needed, please. Let’s just let love lead all the time. That’s what I preach. Let the fans do their own thing but make sure that you and your brotherman are good.”
On his style of music, Skiibii said he is a diverse musician.
He said this puts him at an advantage in the industry.
“It’s what I can do, that’s my magic and I feel like that’s an advantage,” the singer said.
“It’s important to be versatile because it gives you longevity. Your music doesn’t get boring because you’re feeding every angle.
“People that like to rap, I give them something that sounds like rap. For people that like me to sing, I do that too.
“Next one I might give you a love song or reggae tune, it’s coming. But I think it’s important to be diversified.”
Born Abbey Toyibb Elias, Skiibii started singing while at Ekiti State University (EKSU).
He, however, gained prominence in 2014 after he was signed to Five Star Music, a record label owned by E-Money.
Skiibii released several songs with the record label before leaving to start his own.
