“I’m Not Hungry But I’m Not Very Comfortable” – Mode Nine

Mode Nine Disappointed At Nigeria’s Poor Hip
Hop Culture – “I’m Not Hungry But I’m Not
Very Comfortable”

Mode Nine is popularly regarded as one of the
pioneer and legendary rap acts in Nigeria, but
he’s disappointed that the brand doesn’t sell.
“Music has got me fame but not fortune. The
kind of song I do is hip-hop in its pure essence
and the truth is that most Nigerians do not like
i,” Mode Nine said in an interview with Punch
I can eat three times in a day; I am not hungry
but I am not as comfortable as I would love to
be. However, the book has not ended, so let’s see
what happens. Music has got me more fame than
fortune.”
He also revealed that he wasn’t bothered about
not receiving any nominations at the Hip Hop
World awards, saying he only wants to make
good music.
“I don’t feel bad that I was not nominated in the
Lyricist on the Roll category during this year’s
Headies because even the sun and moon rotate
the time they are meant to.
I don’t do music with awards in mind; I just try
and make good albums. I don’t mind if I am not
nominated again for the next Headies because I
was getting tired of being nominated for the
lyricist on the roll category year in year out. I
am even happy that I was not nominated.
