Jim Iyke might be one of the most talented Nollywood actors in the country, but at a time when he ventured into music, not many people got thrilled by his songs. The superstar was criticized widely then, but he has finally admitted that his songs were bad.

In a chat with Saturday Beats, Jim Iyke admitted that the songs he released in 2009 were bad songs but he ventured into the music industry to have an idea of how things work in the sector after dominating the movie scenes.

According to him:

“My music career is non-existent. My mentor in business once told me that the biggest investment you can ever have is yourself; don’t ever go into a venture that you don’t understand. I was interested in music and like everything else that I have foresight for, I saw where the career was going. I knew I did not know how to sing but I wanted to invest in the business, so I decided to try my luck.

I did it so that no one would ever tell me that I did not try or I do not know anything about music. It is just like fashion, I know everything about that sector; there is nothing I do not know about real estate as well. Since I was about 12 years old, I have known about real estate because my father is a construction engineer. To get money to buy a bicycle, I have carried blocks and supervised construction of a building

.

Jim Iyke went further to mention that though he did not understand anything about the music industry, he just wanted to try his hands on some new things:

“I wanted to invest in music but I needed a guinea pig. I could not use an artiste I hired because there would be a producer that would know that I did not know about the business; so I got involved personally. I sang a few bad songs, got a cheque for it and understood how the business works. I just used it to bid for some time. Of course, I knew the songs were bad; I am my greatest critic.

I had to put some ‘swag’ into the songs that featured Tuface to sing one or two lines. To be honest, how many true talents are in the industry at the moment? Most of the less talented ones are getting far ahead of the talented ones. It is not about having talent but understanding the business and project what works for you.

It is all about the way you ‘package’ it and sell it to the world; that is all. I can name a few terrible artistes but they are getting way ahead of the gifted ones. It is because they understand show business; I understand show business,”

Jim Iyke said.

Burna Boy?
Bros remove his name from dat list.
Dat guy is talented than both Davido and Yemi Alade put together.
Versatile, creative.
Jidenna can't be wrong wen he said we don't know wot we have in Burna Boy.
But he has been his own nemesis.
He has allowed emotions got over him,too controversial,too troublesome and all this has become his greatest undoing.

When will Efe admit same

Jim Iyke is a terrible rapper. Airforce1 is better than him

Nutase:
When will Efe admit same

Efe's village people are stronger, don't forget he's from naija delta, his case is at the bottom of a bottomless ocean.
