Afrobeat legend, Innocent Idibia also known as Tuface Idibia, has revealed that the young artistes do not owe him legendary respect and status.
The singer in a podcast said he is fully aware about his own achievements and does not need anyone to tell him or acknowledge it.
He said he loves it when his status is being appreciated but he doesn’t hold on to it because every youngster has his/her story.
Tuface said, “Nobody owes me anything. For me, it is there. It’s never going to go away. It doesn’t reduce who I’m if young artistes don’t recognise my legendary status.
“The only thing is, definitely, I appreciate it when people recognise. There’s nobody that won’t appreciate that. I appreciate when people recognise but I don’t take it too personal when they don’t. That one na the person ignorance.
“Nobody owes person anything because everybody that comes, they are going to tell their own stories.
“They are not going to start telling my own story. Every artist that comes up now, even if they get inspiration from me or anybody, they are going to use it to elevate themselves. And that is their own stories (sic).”
