Stop Giving Out Money To Hungry Musician, Dear Nigerian

Stop giving every Tom, Dick and obscure singer an endorsement deal. Stop giving them money to come for your end of year party. Stop organising brand promotion events, calling them concerts and inviting every musician and his singer brother.

I’m not trying to take food out of the mouths of struggling musicians. Actually I am. But I’m also trying to make sure they truly deserve all the money coming their way.

Now, why.

It is because of people like you that our music industry has stagnated. It is because of you that our artistes no longer care about record sales. It is because of you that no one really cares about piracy in the industry.

Why should an artiste care about making money from selling records when a lazy brand manager is always willing to throw money at me for just being a known face.

Why bother with honing my craft and becoming a better musician? Why waste my time with bettering my stagecraft?
