Without equivocating, last night was the best night of my career.
This is barely the beginning.
NO CIVILITY 🗿

No be only emerging artistes need hear this one sef. Even the mainstream ones wouldn’t have to take shitty deals or make art they don’t believe in to pander to economically stable markets if we could all end bad governance
Emerging artistes and creatives in Nigeria, the major reason why a lot of things in your present journey is so difficult to achieve isn't because you are not talented, you may be putting in work, building without seeing tangible investments in your crafts and a major reason is because a skillset needs consumers, majority of your consumers are fighting for their lives, they are hungry, the country is fucking them over, if they got things and the economy is good, hobbies will flourish, they will come to your little shows, they will buy merch, they will buy vinyls, you can maximise a lot of things when the economy is good..
Speak for your craft, speak against bad governance, stand for something, the right things, use your platforms.
Abeg, make una fix una govt first. Easy to blame DSPs while forgetting your buying power is shit. 1k from 100,000 = 100M lmao. The maths sweet for book till you run am. Imagine paying 1k for every album or song that drops, how many people got afford am?
Africans need our own platform !!! Let’s create this shit !! Drop your egos !! Let’s come together and create this shit !! Streaming is bullshit!!! Let’s sell our art !! Let the fans own the music they buy !!! Let the creators make actual money from the music they sell !! What do you mean 1 million stream is 300 dollars !! We have billions of people in this market !! Why do we need ther platforms ?!!!!
