Sunday Are will not be commenting on the issue he had with Tekno and apparently, it’s for the music industry’s good.
He said this during a recent chat, adding that he would not be addressing the incident that happened at the “One Africa Music Fest.”
Rumour had it that a fight had broken out between Wizkid and Davido’s crew after Tekno reportedly tried to shake Are’s hand.
Other reports had claimed that Wizkid got punched on the nose although none of those involved made comments on the issue.
Sunday Are added the music industry would be unhappy if he speaks about what happened.
He added that what was reported was not what had taken place and that no artiste in Nigeria has ever disrespected him.
He said: “Initially I did not want to say anything about the issue I had with Tekno at the ‘One Africa Music Fest’ because if I speak, the industry would not be happy about what happened.
“I just want to be silent on the matter because what actually happened was more or less like the quarrel of a father and son in the house. When a father has a problem with his child in a house, that is when the child will do something that is not good, you scold him and it ends there.
“What people have been reading was not actually what happened. When these young boys in the industry act sometimes, it makes me remember the Yoruba proverb which says, “A child can have as many clothes as an elder but he can never have as many rags as the elder.” Also, what an elderly person sees while seated, a child cannot see it even if he climbs a skyscraper.”
“They can all testify to this. I always wish every music artiste the best because I stand for African entertainment. I have always wished them the best including Tekno; my happiness is for him to grow higher than he is today.”
