Alpha Entertainments boss and KMP signed rapper Macky 2 has lamented that his beef with Slapdee had more benefits to the industry than harm.The rapper also revealed that there’s a lot of support and love amongst Artists in the music industry unlike what other people say.He revealed this in his recent Social media statement as he responded to a post from BASE 101 saying Macky 2 had no support at the start of his career. MACKY 2 WRITES: Actually Alot Of Support Was Given.. So Many People Helped The Young Macky2. It Takes A Village To Raise A Child. Its Just That Sometimes It’s To Easy Forget All The People That Helped Us And Remember The Ones That Denied Us.. E.g. So Many People Accepted Jesus But We Mostly Remember Peter Denying Him 3 Time Olo Judas Betraying Him.
There Is A Narrative That The Zambian Music Industry Is Full Of Hate, Jealousy And Envy.. That Artists Don’t Support Each Others And Have A “Crabs In A Bucket” Mentality. Ine I Respectively Beg To Differ, Of Course It’s Not Perfect But Everyday I See Artists Going All Out For Other Artists.. Every Album Release Event Or Celebrity Birthday Party Is Heavily Supported By Other Artists.. I Know So Many Big Artists Who Are Grooming Younger Emerging Artists And Selflessly Doing Their Part To Make Sure That The Industry Moves Forward Even After Their Relevance Has Declined.Some People Would Love To Stay In The Past And Talk About How Me And Slap Dee Divided The Industry And Fan Base.. They Neglect To Acknowledge How Beneficial That Competitiveness Was To The Industry And How It Helped Get So Many People Engaged And Develop Interest In The Whole Industry As They Passionately Picked Sides.. Both Me And Slap Have Since Then Gone Out Of Our Way To Bridge Gaps And Unite Audiences.. Mukatasha Nga Twafwa. LolLastly.. I Think It’s Physiological, It’s Almost Like People Love Negative Stories.
1 Bad Story Will Be Sensationalized Like It’s The Main Thing That Happened, When In Reality, It Could Be That 100 Good Deeds Happened That Day Which Went Unsung.The Media Are, For The Most Part, The Writers Of Bad News… And It’s Not Entirely The Media’s Fault, Bad News Stories Get Higher Ratings And Sell More Than Good News Stories.So Apa I Need You Guys To Deliberately Choose To See “GOOD” Around You.. And Am Not Saying Be Naive, Just Don’t Go Around Searching For “BAD” And When You Find It You Act Like That’s All There Is Out There.
