By Oluwarantimi Oludase

Popular Nigerian singer, Adekunle Gold, has bemoaned the control of the Nigerian music industry by people who are not musically oriented.

According to him, the music industry is now being controlled and destroyed by people who have no business leading music conversation.

He expressed his displeasure at the realization that artists, producers and real contributors are being overshadowed by people who don't create, understand and respect the craft.

Adekunle Gold wrote via his X handle:
“People who have no business leading music conversations are now controlling and destroying the industry.

“Artists, producers, and real contributors are being overshadowed by people who don’t create, don’t understand, and don’t respect the craft.

“When the wrong people lead the conversation, they push the wrong narratives. That’s why real talent is overlooked, and mediocrity thrives. Congratulations to everyone involved.”
