Afropop sensation Oxlade has recently opened up about his previous belief in the existence of cabals within the music industry.
The ‘Kulosa’ singer revealed that he had once thought these elusive, powerful groups influenced the careers and success of artistes behind the scenes.
However, a conversation with a friend shifted his perspective on the matter.
Oxlade explained that he realised a person’s belief system can shape their reality.
According to him, “One’s belief births whatever happenings surrounding them.”
He noted that, after reflecting on the concept, he no longer feels bound by any perceived industry cabals. Instead, he believes that success is based on individual choices, mindset, and the path one decides to take.
The artiste further stated that he now feels empowered and unaffected by the notion of cabals, adding that he has reached a point in his career where even those he once viewed as part of these influential circles now want to associate with him.
“I used to believe they existed until I heard something somewhere that it is what you agree to that will actually happen so I don’t feel like I’m affected by any cabal anymore, I feel like I’m at a stage where cabals even want to roll with me.”
