Korede Bello, a Nigerian singer, recently commented on a talk program that new artists had lowered the quality of music in the industry.
During an episode of Hip TV’s Trending, hosted by reality star Kim Oprah, the singer said that youthful artists’ explosion has degraded the quality of music.
Korede Bello said:
“When you start to have young artists blowing up, the quality of the music starts to reduce because they don’t have quality experiences.
“They don’t know how to live yet. Young people don’t yet know how to live, they just know that they are living. They want to live large, so that’s what they’re going to sing about.
“If you listen to an African China, where he’s coming from, he has seen things. Timaya, Fela—all have experiences. Their songs are expressions of reality.
“We should not blame these young artists; you can only give what you have.”
