Nigerian music producer and artist Kel-P has addressed recent claims made by singer Solidstar, who alleged that he had mentored him in the music industry. In a candid response, Kel-P clarified the nature of their relationship, emphasizing that while they have always shared mutual respect, the mentorship claim doesn’t quite align with their personal dynamic.
Solidstar, known for his hit songs like “One in a Million,” recently opened up in an interview, stating that he had taken Kel-P under his wing, guiding him in the early stages of his career. The statement caught the attention of fans and industry watchers, prompting a response from Kel-P, who is known for producing chart-topping tracks for various artists, including Burna Boy.
In his response, Kel-P acknowledged Solidstar’s positive influence and the support they had shown one another over the years, but clarified that their relationship was more of a collaborative one rather than a formal mentorship.
“I have a lot of respect for Solidstar and we’ve always had a good relationship, but it’s important to clarify that we’ve never had a traditional mentorship arrangement,” Kel-P shared in a statement. “We’ve always worked together with mutual respect for each other’s craft and vision. Music is about collaboration and sharing ideas, and that’s what we’ve done.”
Kel-P went on to describe how their professional relationship had evolved over time, noting that they had both contributed to each other’s growth in the industry. While he didn’t dispute Solidstar’s claim of offering advice at certain points, he made it clear that they were equals in their musical endeavors.
Fans of both artists took to social media to share their thoughts, with many expressing admiration for the respect and transparency both parties showed in handling the situation. Kel-P’s clarification has helped put the record straight, ensuring that their partnership remains one of mutual growth and respect rather than a one-sided mentorship dynamic.
As both Kel-P and Solidstar continue to make strides in the music industry, their professional relationship remains an example of how collaboration, rather than competition, fosters success.
