The mistake he made is that he did not give himself a pathway to walk back. He went too far, and he lacked a strategic vision to plan ahead. Surely, our music is about momentum in time, and one thing for certain is that no one artist can dominate forever. The level of disrespect has now made him a pariah, and funny enough he is way less popular than before he started.
This reminds me of Kirikou when he joined QL. I watched an interview in which he admitted that he was encouraged to insult Ferre, following attacks by Marc House. 'Petit, o zela nini, il faut to yebisa yo...'
But he also regretted later on, and he realized that if he was in Ferre's shoes, he wouldn't forgive himself either. All because he took it too far and that there was no way back.
