The rapper stated that some people within the rap industry in Nigeria are afraid of change, which likely refers to the dominance of indigenous rap music in Nigeria.
"I sense "HATE" and some cowards afraid of "CHANGE".meanwhile HIPHOP no be anybody papa property..#justsaying" tweeted Reminisce.
'Local Rappers' was released on January 22, 2015. The single was criticised by some who felt the song tried to downplay the relevance of wordplay in Nigerian rap music.
