He also shared how the American band One Republic reached out to him and asked for the opportunity to be on the remix of his song, Ojapiano.
During the conversation, Isbae U asked KCee to confirm if he didn’t pay for the remix. He reiterated that he didn’t and was shocked that One Republic would reach out to him and want to be on the same song.
Why I don’t pay for remix – KCee
After revealing how his song with One Republic came to be, KCee noted that he doesn’t like paying for remixes because of a bad experience he had nine years ago.
The Ojapiano singer shared that he once tried to get an American artist to feature on his song some years back, but he got duped.
He noted that he gave the person $70k, the equivalent of N92m, but the remix never happened. KCee averred that since then, he had vowed never to pay anyone for a remix, even if he had the money.
