We’ve seen this pattern before in other genres. Sudden global acceleration, rapid monetisation, then structural fatigue. Some of us have quietly been saying this for years….sustainability must match success. Afrobeats didn’t decline because of lack of talent. It declined because infrastructure didn’t grow at the same speed as hype. This isn’t obituary season. It’s rebuilding season. If majors are recalibrating, then we must recalibrate too. We must invest in grassroots discovery, protect sonic identity, build touring ecosystems, create transparent investment structures. Genres don’t die. They evolve or they dissolve. The truthful question we need to ask ourselves is… are we ready to evolve intentionally?

"Where are the music investors?" 😂 "Afrobeats have dwindled internationally." 😂 "We need Yahoo boys back in music.." 😂 Our cultural recession is finally undeniable, and you all have started crying. But it's too late, my dear. The world moved on from your small-minded narcissism 2 years ago. In 2023, after clocking our bleak tea leaves, I began to scream about Afrobeats cultural regression daily, using publicly available data and inferences. And what did the industry do? They tried to have my head, and branded me "enemy of the culture." But our devolution was so clear, even while we were celebrating what would become our demise. After "Calm Down" there was a hard cut-off of meaningful Nigerian motion, and our records stopped showing up in places that matter. We dropped huge-budget projects, that didn't make a dent, and at home, we stopped minting new talents, while industry-wide inflation meant the death of organic discovery. It was easy to forecast, judging by those conditions. People who have never recognized a pattern in their lives, or experienced the horrible pre-Afrobeats to the world music industry, shouted me (the voice of reason) down, and dumb mobs of secondary school kids said I hated Afrobeats. It became cool to hate on Joey. Today, the future I was fighting against is here. Cut off from the highest levels, diluted and replaced across the globe, the majors are gradually pulling out, or running skeletal operations. Investor morale has dipped. Afrobeats has a new broad-spectrum meaning. Our local scene failed to achieve sustainability and we're hurtling back to the past. Yes, the new generation will suffer because their predecessors misvalued an opportunity. New kids won't find funding because we can't account for nearly a decade of investment. Underground now has to experience a lack of institutional support because we dialed back on sustainability. Instead of cheques, they are given advice and told to 'build community.' Welcome to our checkered music past. It's a cold, familiar and broken place.

Unfortunately, in today’s Afrobeats Space, the next breakout Artist is going to have to work thrice (3x) harder than their predecessors. Afrobeats is in a very Volatile space. Dear Artists, think big, dream different. In all…. Be yourself, Be ORIGINAL!!!

It stings deeply that so many talented Nigerians were nominated but didn’t bring the Grammy home this time. But here’s the truth, Legends like @angeliquekidjo and @YoussouNdourSN have shown us the power of being involved beyond just the award night. She’s at those seminars, those events, making her presence felt. If we want to change the game, we’ve got to do the same. Let’s step up, join the @RecordingAcad voting body and be part of the process all year long. That’s how we truly make our mark. Better luck next year, but let’s also be there to shape it

Yes, Nigerians are disappointed about the Grammy outcome, and I feel that too. But let’s turn that energy into action. We need more of us, Nigerian music creatives and execs to join the @RecordingAcad as Voting members. That’s how we shape the narrative from the inside. Let’s get involved and make our votes count! Better luck next year.

Awards rotate, origins don’t. Even without a Nigerian win for Best Afrobeat Song of the Year, the sound’s foundation remains clear. Afrobeat lives because Nigeria built it, and that legacy isn’t up for debate… #Grammys
