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.
“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.”
