When Will Nigerian Songs Stop Being About Sex, Money & Love? by Fadedvoiced: 12:10pm On Nov 21, 2018 |
When will Nigerian Songs Stop being Just about Money and Sex? This is a question I've been asking Nigerians . When Kiss Daniel released "One Ticket" featuring Davido ,even without listening to it I knew that it'll be just about love,sex and money - truly my thoughts were right and confirmed after I listened to the song yesterday. Is it that songs that don't promote sex,gold digging ,drugs and love don't/can't sell or make waves in Nigeria ? Because this is getting beyond control. When the current government riggged the OSUN gubernatorial election which Davido's uncle was a participant I thought henceforth he'll be dishing out only motivational,sensible and soul melting songs . Songs that can criticize bad governance and abuse of power but no - It must be love,sex and money. In America , any little issue is taken to heart by their singers and celebrities but in Africa , Nigeria precisely how many celebrities even condemned police/SARS brutality in their songs? None. Most major Nigerian hits of the year ranging from Assurance ,Soco,Fake Love,Nwababy,Aza,Fever,Unleash and One Ticket are focus on three things - Love,Money and sex ,as usual Baby baby baby ,my body - is this all Nigerian artists know how to offer ? Burna Boy's Ye is what I can classify as a mature and sensible vibe . Before you come for my head, I'm a huge fan of Wizkid right from 2012. Nigerian artists are hoping to win Grammys and Emmys , the thing is who's going to give them Grammys with these wack songs ? From a concerned Nigerian. I sincerely hope they see this. 66 Likes 5 Shares

But then even the ones with good lyrics don't have catchy beats...

First of all, there something called "Music Genre". There's hip-hop, jazz, Christian and the rest of them... Now, hip-hop is mostly about those 3 things you mentioned plus more.. You don't expect a Christian song to be all about sex, money & girls... Secondly, most artiste sing about what people want to hear.. they sing songs that are club/event worthy... do you think that a DJ will play your song in a club, wedding, birthday, etc. if it's about the current crisis happening in the country? Fadedvoiced: Most American hip-hop songs today are about money, sex, girls, drugs, weed, gangs, etc. This is a global thing.. it's not only in Africa... i don't listen to Asian songs but I can bet that they still sing about those 3 things... 67 Likes 7 Shares |

It won't. Musicians are entrepreneurs. They give the to the market what it needs. It's a relationship of supply and demands. People like Dare art Alade, Mode nine, Asa all brought good music but didn't occupy the spotlight for long, or at least were sustainably mainstream. 13 Likes 1 Share |

Every artist in the world all sing about Love, money and sex. Those are the three things that rules the world. Please, stop making it look like a Nigerian thing. Same lyric action, different beats vibe. 1 Like |

Nigerians are the most pretentious people on earth.. We complain that our artistes only sing about sex, women and booze and yet the few ones that sing meaningful songs we don't patronize them.. The career of Asa, Dakolo, Jeremiah Gyan and the likes of them are dead because of this. That's how since we have bin shouting NOT TOO YOUNG TO RULE... But now wey election don start proper everybody is shouting Artikulate.. Forgetting that there are candidates who are way younger than him.. There's something seriously wrong with Nigerians... I swear.. The pretense don too much.. the fake life is top much ... The jumping on bandwagon too don too much. Meanwhile yall need to read this..
