Korede Bello, the popular Nigerian singer, has said that young artistes have reduced the quality of music coming out of the country.

The 28-year-old spoke in a recent episode of Hip TV’s programme Trending, hosted by reality star KimOprah.

According to him, young artists lack the experience to make quality music.

He claimed that the younger an artist attains stardom, the more the quality of their music declines.

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.

“We should not blame these young artists; you can only give what you have.”

Korede Bello, the popular Nigerian singer, has opened up on why he left Don Jazzy-led Mavins Records.

Recall that Bello signed with Mavins in February 2014 but exited the label in 2021.

“Because I was at a stage where I started to feel like a product that is just there [at Mavins Records] to make money.

“You lose sight of what matters when you chase after the next hit, after the next whatever it is that can get you into conversations. So a lot of artists are addicted to that circle.”

Popular singer, Korede Bello, has spoken about how he grew up watching his father smoke cigarettes.

He made this known while featuring on a recent episode of the ‘Say My Piece’ podcast hosted by media personality cum actress Omotunde Adebowale David, also known as Lolo1.

Korede said as a child, he used to witness his father smoking, and despite sending him on errands to buy cigarettes, he (his father) warned him against smoking.

The singer said he was smoking but eventually gave up the habit after discovering that it wasn’t his “thing.”

He explained that because of his father’s advice and his experience, he developed a mindset that smoking is unhealthy.

He said, “I tried weed before but it’s not my thing. Very early on in my life, I mean not in my life like when I was a child, but it was just something that people did around me also and this is something about myself I have a very addictive personality so whatever I find pleasurable, it can turn into an addiction.

“My dad used to smoke a lot of cigarettes and as a child, he used to send me to get him cigarettes. I noticed something then, he used to cough a lot so I’d ask him ‘Daddy why are you coughing?’ and he’d tell me ‘It’s because of the cigarette. So if you don’t wanna cough like me, don’t smoke’.”

Singer Korede Bello, from Nigeria, declared that he would rather make people happy than win a Grammy.

He claims that he values making people happy more than winning any accolades.

That’s what he said in a recent interview.

The Godwin hitmaker stated in the interview that Nigerian musicians shouldn’t base their legitimacy on international accolades like the Grammys.

“There is a common pidgin saying that roughly translates to ‘one will eat where they work,'” he said. As artists, validation for our work is something we “eat” in large quantities. It is fantastic to get your great art recognized. And that has the potential to greatly inspire others to create better art.

In my view, an artist is already a winner when they make it to the nomination list for a significant prize. Everything else is arbitrary. But I think that rewards should come before awards.

Returns on investment or commercial success are two possible forms of rewards. In this manner, one is assured that the quality of their efforts will determine their results. Honors are nice, but there’s nothing greater than knowing that your work brings joy to a large number of people.

Regarding the strangest location from which he has drawn inspiration, Korede declared, “There is no place that is too weird to draw inspiration from, in my opinion.” Everything can serve as inspiration because everything is art. An exquisite “place” to make art is in pain.

Today is Korede Bello’s 28th birthday. He was once signed to Mavin.

To commemorate the big day, the celebrity released two new songs on his Instagram page.

Korede revealed a teaser for one of his next tracks, “Minding My Business,” and revealed that his highly anticipated album, 2024, is titled “Koreday.”

“It’s Koredayyy,” the celebrant posted on his Instagram profile, looking stunning in a flowing outfit. To me, happy birthday. I feel like you guys have finished me off with love today. Many calls, posts, and direct messages. I truly appreciate you all, but I am unable to reply to everyone. I appreciate you commemorating M3GA.

While we continue to work on the album, #KOREDAY, please spend the day streaming our two new singles. #HappyBirthdayToMe and #MindingMyBusiness as a birthday present to myself.

Popular singer Korede Bello, in a bid to evade the skyrocketing price of petrol, has resorted to riding a horse as a means of transportation.

Sharing a clip of himself riding a horse on the motorway via his Instagram page, the ‘Godwin’ crooner explained that he settled for the alternative in the wake of the hike in fuel price.

He urged Nigerians to go back to horse riding to tackle the skyrocketing price of petrol.

Speaking in Pidgin, Bello said, “I don’t know if you’ve heard. But dem tok say fuel don go up o! Fuel price don increase. If I was you, I will get me one of these [horses].

“No gree for anybody o! Dem tok say fuel don cost, go buy horse.”
