Adetoro OF LAGOS

I use this analogy a lot. This is what a room full of computers looked like in old times:

@AyoJaguda Music with no substance, hyping rubbish as good music. Ile ni abo gbogbo yin... Ekabo se da da ni.

Afrobeat is not declining - na stupid and baby talk - the genre is too big for it to fail , yall just make boring songs that don’t hold weight , stop making songs for competitive purposes , be yourself .

@GodwinTom Kindly name one A&R that did this bid for free. They get their share of the pie when the so-called loan gets approved. 10%-30% of $150k, $300k as much as $3m. No one should throw anyone under the bus. Label, A/R, artistes, Mgrs una go explain tire.

Label looked at your catalogue... offered you a deal that was less risky. You said no... they don't believe in your talent. You want 3X what they offered. They looked at the situation and wanted to back off... an A&R that believed in your talent said he knows you are worth it and asks them to give him a couple days. A&R calls you and asks what releases you have in place and coming through... you tell him lies. You name drop artists and he goes back to fight. He gets you the money and is waiting to hear from the top rated producers you said you would work with and as soon as the money enters your account... C Class Mercedes and Lekki rental... smokes and baddies... buga boys and now you basically live on snapchat Everyone in the office looking at A&R with side eye 6 months later and no one is taking A&R seriously. No single released. The old sound cloud link you sent is all they have. They need new music and the features you said you have. Nothing. You, on the other hand, don't have the money anymore to pay producers and to clear samples and songs. The Benz has brakes issues. Babes don't see "transport" money from you and have stopped showing up. Your boys don move on because no more jaiye! You are still 150k USD in debt. No new music. You collected marketing budget and told them you will promote that you have your own guys. So even if you manage to finish the recording, you don't have budget to market. Igbo plug is asking for the money for loud you and your boys smoked 2 weeks ago... and he has delivered on credit yesterday. Debt piling... bills piling... mental breakdown. A&R can't trust you again. Label won't release you until they recoup. Your existing catalogue... as they saw, is not generating enough to pay back. We only saw the online dragging of the label. There are many sides to the story. Labels could also do better but there is alsp a huge part of the stories that people exclude

Take your time and make that good musc no de give us mid songs abeg , because dem chart u for Apple Music UK or Spotify no mean say the song de Cho , na ur money jus de work e go soon run out and e go enter the real number later

@elonmusk We know them by their actions... very disgusting

The New York Times is utterly disgusting

Femi Otedola a Yoruba man who's also a Christian, and Abdul Rabiu who's a Northerner and a Muslim, broke fast (Iftar) in Dubai. The rich are maintaining friendships and building trusts, despite their differences, but the poor continue to argue over religion, ethnicity, and region, blaming each other stup'dly. Religious and regional conflicts are for the poor, if you like allow anyone to gaslight you.

Precisely

The babalawo who performs sacrif'ces to make others rich is never rich, and the pastor who is filthy rich have members struggling to make ends meet. Ponder on that.

“Nigerians, is your entire country set up to extort people? Coming in and out of the airports, I was told ‘now you give me cash’ at least ten times. Many roads have police checkpoints, but are they really security checkpoints or just shakedown points?” — American man says.
