In other news…. Amid the ongoing tension between Seun Kuti and Wizkid, Nigerian singer Jaywon has addressed young artists in the music industry.
In a post shared on his Instagram page, Jaywon criticized the mindset of some upcoming musicians who believe music success is only measured by numbers.
According to him, many young artists think having high streaming figures, strong recognition, an effective PR team, and money to spend automatically makes them the best in the world.
Jaywon, however, disagreed with this notion, stressing that music goes beyond statistics. In his words:
“The problem with a lot of you youngins and small minds is thinking music is only about numbers.
You believe that because you’ve got streams, recognition, a strong PR machine, and money to throw around.
That automatically makes you the best artist in the world, lol.
Music isn’t about numbers. It’s about impact, changing minds and touching souls.
That’s why legends like Bob Marley and Fela still matter.
Their music is forever.”
