Reekado Banks raises concerns over music executive exploiting upcoming artists
Nigerian singer Reekado Banks has raised concerns about an undisclosed music executive he claims is taking advantage of young talents.
While refraining from revealing the music executive’s identity, Reekado shared in a recent interview, the negative impact the individual has had on those who collaborate with him.
He urged upcoming artists to be cautious.
“There is one big man in the music industry who is demonic and taking advantage of young talents. I have worked with him before. Other young artists have also worked with him. I would not want to mudsling, you know, put his name through the mud, although the person knows himself.
“But I would like to educate people about the man, because according to everything that I have come to find out, everybody that he has worked with always encounters certain setbacks or finds themselves in a mess,” the singer said.
Reekado Banks’ warning has generated reactions from fans, who urged him to reveal the executive’s identity.
Below are some reactions:
@jettyroyal said: “You won’t mention his name, but you want to educate young men to beware of him, it is well”
@seyi tweeted, “This right here is the problem, I don’t want to mention his or her name. Politicians will come out and say I know who did this or that but I don’t want to mention names. STFU”
@big_xavier wrote, “He is just doing this to promote his album. There is absolutely nothing like that”
@alhaji sayam tweeted, “If you will not mention names, why say it in the first place?”
@bobszn said, “Na Don Jazzy this egbon dey talk about”
@fitness_coach wrote, “Hmm, Reekado Banks always keeps it cryptic. Hard to say who he is calling out”
@sugaer commented, “He just spoke very highly of Don Jazzy and everyone at Mavin’s recently so I doubt it is any of them”
@spencer said, “All of you saying Don Jazzy….. he said ‘manager’ not record label boss”
