"Nobody owes me anything. For me, it (my legendary status) is there. It is never going to go away. It does not reduce who I am if young artists do not recognise me," he said.

"The only thing is, definitely, I appreciate it when people recognise me. There is nobody that will not appreciate that. I appreciate it when people recognise me but I do not take it personal when they do not."

2Baba also mentioned that he believes the next generation of Nigerian artists will make greater waves.

"The younger generation always takes it to the next level.

"That is how I see it, I am really happy for many of these guys, and I pray that most of them will not get carried away," he said.
