Rising stars Xlimkid and O’Kenneth, known for their hit song “LONELY ROAD,” are making headlines again, but this time it’s not for a new collaboration.
Instead, plans for a remix of their popular track have led to a significant misunderstanding and growing tension between the two artists.
The original “LONELY ROAD” has garnered significant attention and acclaim, making the prospect of a remix an exciting development for fans. However, the situation took a contentious turn when it was revealed that a major artist, set to be featured on the remix, stipulated a condition: O’Kenneth was to be excluded from the project.
This condition has caused confusion and tension between Xlimkid and O’Kenneth. The crux of the issue lies in the ownership of the song’s masters. O’Kenneth, who holds the rights to the masters, was blindsided by the decision to exclude him, creating a rift between the collaborators.
Insiders reveal that O’Kenneth felt disrespected and sidelined by the move, especially given his integral role in the creation and success of the original track. The tension has reportedly escalated, with both artists struggling to find common ground.
A close associate of O’Kenneth, who preferred to remain anonymous, shared, “O’Kenneth has been deeply hurt by this decision. He feels his contributions are being undermined, and it’s causing a lot of friction. The lack of communication and respect for his ownership of the masters has made the situation worse.”
Meanwhile, Xlimkid’s camp is reportedly caught in a dilemma. The potential for a high-profile remix featuring a big-name artist is a significant opportunity that could propel his career to new heights. However, the cost of this opportunity seems to be the fallout with his collaborator and friend.
“Xlimkid is in a tough spot,” a source close to him explained. “He values his partnership with O’Kenneth but also sees the potential benefits of working with a major artist. It’s a difficult balancing act, and it’s unfortunate that it’s come to this.”
The fallout over the “LONELY ROAD” remix has sparked broader discussions within the music industry about the dynamics of collaboration, ownership, and respect among artists. Fans of both Xlimkid and O’Kenneth have taken to social media to express their disappointment and urge the duo to resolve their differences amicably.
As of now, the future of the “LONELY ROAD” remix remains uncertain. Both Xlimkid and O’Kenneth have yet to make official statements addressing the controversy.
Industry observers are hopeful that the artists can find a way to reconcile and perhaps even move forward with the remix in a manner that honors both their contributions.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the complexities involved in artistic collaborations and the importance of clear communication and mutual respect in navigating the often turbulent waters of the music industry.
Fans are eagerly waiting to see how the situation unfolds and whether Xlimkid and O’Kenneth can mend their professional relationship for the sake of their music and their audience.
