Changes made to Apple ID

So I changed my apple ID some months ago and now problem is whenever I want to download an app, the APP store recognises the old apple ID and not the new one. how do I resolve this?

A request for another Apple ID password is often caused by updates to apps/purchases that were made when using the other ID. Those purchases are tied to the other ID and can't be transferred. One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the other ID and download them using the new ID if desired. After deleting the apps, it may be necessary to restart the device/computer before you can download the apps again. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID.
