Singer Kingsley Okonkwo, popularly known as Kcee, has addressed his long-reported fallout with colleague Flavour, saying he has yet to understand the cause of the alleged feud.

The pair clashed on social media in 2024 after Flavour appeared to accuse an unnamed artiste of copying his musical style. Although the highlife star did not mention anyone, Kcee responded, warning him against “gatekeeping” Igbo cultural music and reminding him that he had been in the industry before Flavour.

Speaking in an interview with Yanga FM Lagos which started trending on Saturday, Kcee said his first encounter with Flavour was years ago when talent manager Soso Soberekon introduced the singer to him with the hope of securing a record deal.

Kcee said he declined the offer because he did not see potential in Flavour at the time.

He said, “Till now, I don’t understand the reason for his beef with me, especially that incident where he alleged that someone was coping him. The truth is that when some people had written you off, hoping that you would be stagnant, and you work hard and get to a level they don’t expect you to reach, that was what happened.

“I came into the music industry before Flavour. Soso Soberekon brought him to me years ago to sign to my record label. I was already driving exotic cars and balling before he came to Lagos. I told Soso I can’t sign Flavour because I didn’t see potentials in him at that time. It wasn’t because I have something against him.”

He added that he does not believe the rejection is the root of their tension.

“I don’t think that was why he is holding a grudge against me. But time shall tell.

Kcee said many of his colleagues underestimate his talent because he does not brag, adding that his work over the years has consistently proven doubters wrong.

“A lot of my colleagues underrate my talent and my humility also contributed to that. Because I don’t brag. I don’t need it. But as I always say, time will always prove them wrong. My work always prove every doubter wrong. Some of those who doubted me in the past have come to apologise to me and admitted that they were wrong about me,” Kcee said.
