People who are not music-oriented leading Nigerian music industry – Adekunle Gold
Nigerian Afrobeats singer Adekunle Kosoko, known professionally as Adekunle Gold, has voiced out about the current trend of the wrong people leading the Nigerian music industry.
The ‘Sade’ singer expressed this concern in a post shared on his X handle on Saturday, where he claimed that the people leading the music industry are not music-oriented.
The singer opined that the wrong people in the industry are perpetuating false narratives about the business, saying this has resulted in brilliance being undervalued while mediocrity thrives.
Adekunle Gold stressed that artists, producers and other creatives are overshadowed by people who do not create, understand and respect the music craft.
He wrote, “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.”
Meanwhile, Adekunle Gold and White House Productions are set to jointly produce a documentary spanning the last century of Yoruba music.
The documentary, The Odyssey, will trace the history and evolution of different subcultures within Yoruba music, including Were, Sakara, Apala, Juju, AfroJuju and Fuji.
