Renowned musician, Reekado Banks, has threatened to expose an individual who he claims hinders the growth of emerging talents in Nigeria’s music industry.
Banks portrayed the unidentified person as either “deminic or completely inept,” stating that this figure has a knack for discovering promising artists only to derail their careers through misguided decisions.
The artist suggested that the individual has a track record of attracting rising stars, only to stifle their progress, and he pledged to reveal the culprit in a forthcoming interview.
In a mysterious post on X on Tuesday, Banks posted:
“One day, I’ll take an interview to talk about someone in the corners of the entertainment industry, who’s either absolutely clueless or plain demonic.
“Somehow, the brightest budding talents fall in their lap and either through cluelessness or pure demonic activities, they agree to policies that effectively slow these talents down and for some other talents, frustrate them out of pursuing their dreams. One day…”
His statement ignited speculations that he was hinting at someone from his previous record label, Mavins Records, which played a pivotal role in his rise to stardom.
However, Reekado Banks later clarified in another post that his remarks were not directed at his former record label boss, Don Jazzy.
He wrote: “It may not be obvious to you all, but I’m definitely not referring to Baba J [Don Jazzy]. Ejo lol , pls n thanks.
“That said, oloriburuku gbaaaa, ni Eni to mo n so yi !”
