a blogger took time to write these about some of our favorite music artists who aren't making it big in the music industry today tell me what you think after reading the list below is he right? drop your comments
The music industry has become one
of the most lucrative industries in
Nigeria of recent, and this has
made it attract numerous
Some see the industry as the easiest
way to making it, also they desire
the Cadillac and luxury lifestyles of
those that have made it.
Nonetheless, it is pertinent to note
that not all those who ventures into
the music industry succeed and
also, not all those who are popular
or seems to be in the stardom cash
from the industry.
Some have other forms of income
and others are simply broke, this
might result from piracy, poor
materials and publicity.
Presently, we have some artistes
that are not making money from
the industry, they are:
1. Mode 9: when we talk about
Nigerian Hip-Hop, the name that
flashes our mind is Mode 9.
It is sad that the legendary rapper
makes little or no money from
music.
He admitted once in an interview
that his music has gained him fame
but not riches.
Though very talented, he has not
been able to commercialize himself
and his music overtime, majorly
because of his rigid pattern.
2. Brymo: it is disheartening that I
am including this rare talent in this
list, because I think he’s one of the
few that gives us hope that the
Nigerian music industry is still
going places.
But truth be told, Brymo is not
getting the attention he deserves.
His works are great (still jamming
his recently released album) but it
will be very rewarding for him to
get more shows, endorsements and
publicity.
3. DJ Cuppy: nobody should argue
this: Because it’s obvious that the
lady Disc Jockey c*m the daughter
of one of the richest men in Africa
solely still survives on her family’s
wealth.
She will really need to DJ in several
shows to even make the money she
uses to promote herself.
So be wise before you vent to be a
DJ because of her.
4. Yung 6ix: the self-acclaimed king
of the south-south, Warri born
rapper might own a Range Rover
and live in Lekki but we all know
that his father can afford that for
him.
6ix has not enjoyed much
endorsements, shows, CD sales in
his career, this limiting the money
he cashes out.
5. Charly Boy: also known as ‘Area
Fada’ who is also very
controversial, has made little
money from the music industry.
He said he used most of his last
album CDs as souvenir to visitors in
his home.
I believe he has other means of
making money that are not known
to all, because of his luxury
lifestyle.
6. Olu Maintain: the ‘Yahooze’
crooner has been trying to hold a
firm grip in the music industry
since the release of his chart
topping single Yahooze.
He might still be one of the ‘big
boys’ in the game because of his
opulent display but certainly not
cashing it from his music.
7. Skiibi: my friend asked me not to
include him on this list because he’s
yet to prove himself as an artiste.
Though he was signed by money-
bag ‘E-money’, skiibi has made less
impact in the industry if not for his
“faked death” that made him trend.
It’s recorded that he has not been
booked for a show before not more
an endorsement deal.
He’s still busy popping the
Champagne for the rest members of
the Five-Star crew; Kcee and
Harrysong.
