As today marks 3years for the nation world wide end sars protest that was held October 20 2020. So many life were lost, what truly changed?

.

It's a regrettable tendency for musicians to believe they will stay at the top forever. So they do whatever they can to stay there, being selfish towards young and upcoming musicians with no ladder to trace to them. I'm capable of naming a few names, but unfortunately, that's not what we're discussing.

I have here the top 5 nigeria musicians who accepts reality that no one stays at the top forever and they try the best they can to help striving artist into the entertainment industry with little or no monetization gain unlike some of your favorite brands who are leeches in disguise of labels owner and Godfathers.

I repeat the top 5 countdown Nigerian musicians who assisted without having to sign any papers. They did the favor out of their own freewill....>>>>SELFLESSNESS

here we go!!!

5) ERIGGA

Although he has been underrated for several years, the King of the South is still doing his part in the little ways he can. Several albums and EPs have been released by him in recent years, and he has always showcased upcoming artists.

upcoming artist you've never heard before, he promotes them through his album I can see, mostly all they do is drop hooks, chorus and he does his rap and you and I know it's always about catchy choruses and you are like who this and Viola You be on google to know the name of the artist.. unlike most of this musician that focuses on ft big names only.. you send dm if you are not known your on a long thing.... he also introduced victor Ad into the mainstream I must say and I doubt if they are any signatures to this.


4) D_PRINCE


I know this might be controversial with people claiming he had rugger on paperwork but hold on let me give you some facts on while he made it and his big bro didn't. DPrince is one of those musicians who don't have that mindset, " I want to be the best" he just came to get in the spotlight with his brand and relaxed for the upcomings to carry on.

Dude is what we call a selfless helper. He is one of those who helped Wizkid early on in his career, which has led to his current status. (Kudos to wande coal too), is it also easy for someone to discover one of the hottest Afrobeat musicians claiming awards here and there internationally even though he handed it over to is brother for monetization? Dude is selfless I must say, it's not easy for a legend in the game to have good thoughts for upcomings striving and wants their greatness. DPrince has payed his dues, I mean, take a look at some of your known legends who were there before him, and list one artist success that can be traced to them. Despite this, they continue to refer to them as a legend (lol)


3) DAVIDO

apart from his several philanthropy work davido has every right to be on my list even as a record label owner. Now here are some facts you need to know: He doesn't necessarily need to sign any upcoming artist. He has a strategy that most American artists use, including Drake and others.

I am going to term it FREE PUBLICITY

This is a case where they jump on an upcoming artist's song because they see and observe that it might just be the new wave in town and as an old wave it's always necessary to remain relevant in the game no matter what. So they give the artist free promotion and introduction to the mainstream, which could be beneficial to the artist and can also lead to his downfall.

it's more like here's the ladder, can you climb up?

or

A room with candle light, and suddenly phcn brought the light on. ( Candle won't be noticed)

This is an illustration left for you to think and understand, but still this tactic has helped so many people made it to the top but some also flopped. it's all on the upcoming artist your work, concentration and inputs.

(example victor AD a deemed light)

This old waves also gain from this because it helps them to stay relevant if it becomes a
huge success.


2) OLAMIDE


The agbalagba of the nigeria music industry, if you like call him local he remains the Godfather, the true godfather who hardly signs, who hardly put pen into paper and when he does it's a hit but also wants the greatness of other's in irrespective of where you are from. badoo as he is fondly call is the definition of selflessness if it was a nigeria word.

The voice of the street, while his mate people he started with were striving and still wanting to be the number one fighting for grammies, Dude sat back, came with a plan and said you all can have it. I am not about that. no top nigeria musicians has done features, favours, with upcoming artist than olamide and most. No signatures involved. how many upcoming artist has he brought to limelight? bella shurmda, zlantan ibile, portable should I go on? dude supports all the time without necessarily expecting a reward.

that's a legend... that's the true definition of a legend, so many artist success can be traced to him and he still does more.


1) TIMAYA


The egberipapa one of Bayelsa has every right to be on the number one spot. It's not easy to be in the game close to 2 decades and still have upcoming in your heart. TIMAYA is an artist who does his thing, respect him self and help voluntarily without coming out to tell the public this is what I did...(no need for town crier)

I watched a video of runtown yesterday, an old video I believed first time seeing it and he said TIMAYA put him on the spotlight, tutored him at the early stage of his career. without TIMAYA he won't have been what he is today. he stayed and record at TIMAYA house for more than a year.. now tell me if that's an easy thing to do? to have an A list give you accolades, something majority of people don't even know about... same thing SKALES also said when he left eme, he was depressed but TIMAYA took him in for some time before he was able to stand on his feet again.

TIMAYA made my top one because he didn't have to give them deals, he didn't have to feed from them, he just did those good deeds selflessly with no one knowing. So many A list artist today can be traced to him with likes of Pato ranking and the rest. Respect egbon.


Note: If your favourite isn't here please don't blame me..the world watches and this are my personal opinions. Your fav could be in my top 50 or might not be there at all.

Whenever I see this man the words STOMACH INFASTRUCTURE add up in my head voluntarily.
I don't know why

I am not here to criticize anyone or call names but it baffles me most time when I come online and see renowned celebrities, musicians, actors, footballers, pastors and even politicians come out to seek for financial aide when they are down with one problem or the other.

No one prays to go through hard times or be in a bad situation, but what I can't help to think Is it an entitlement mentality? like I don't understand. The same masses that struggles to feed daily due to the hardship of the country you come out to tax them because they are well known over the country and use that as an advantage everytime and anytime they are facing one problem or the other.

This gets me so annoyed that when I voice out it will look as if I am a bad person who hates helping individuals or wants the downfall of others. No bros, I am a celebrity lover.. lifestyle and all... But ask yourself this question how many people needs help in this society? I need help, alot of people need help and if we all start posting it online many will be ignored because i obviously don't matter same can't be said for this celebrities (here comes the mindset) so they CAPITALIZED mostly on this because they know they are weak vulnerable minds out there, even when themselves can take care of some certain problems on their own...but they choose to come online... hey, they also have to secure their future and that of their families.




This needs to stop and the government needs to do something about this because it is getting out of hand and starting to look like something is not just right (fishy)... They should help set up a tax program or something for celebrities both old and young earning in the industry, nollywood, music wood, comedywood and even influencerwood.
so that whatever situation they face in the future they might be able to help themselves from there.



note : this is not to discourage givers, sympathizers from helping others. Do if you can from your heart but don't be blackmailed or forced to..like a post I normally see on timelines.


If you know so so persons made your childhood... you must contribute..

If you know you were Happy so so persons made nigeria proud and won the world cup.. you must contribute.


If you know his songs help you in times of struggle you must contribute..(my God)


This needs to stop literally and the government needs to look into this.





Thank you.

Aomial:
nor be my guy i dey reason sef... Na my reaction wey draw full area attention

keep living in fairyland kid

Immediately I saw car and raced after a teenager I realized your a teenager.

Send me a dm.... let's work on you.

Abagworo:
Tems pernetrated American market more than them all. What did you smoke by skipping her? Ckay also did well with "Love Nwantiti" which is 4x Platinum in the US.

that ckay hu na dey mention dey below my 200.

As for terms if only it was top 20 she might just be there.

dominique:
How about Terms? Someone that has won a Grammy and an Oscar. Traded worldwide at this year's Oscar ceremony. Is she not worthy of being on your list?

If it was top 10

omobolarinwa1:
Op u no try ooo you can't even find baba fella picture online, but the picture you upload is femi kuti.. guess you dey smoke igbo too 😏

nor vex...na hurriness...I nor even look well..and I come like the way he dey blow fluit.

guru90:
One person is missing there..... KIZZ DANIEL....

not even close

kmaster007:
Whr Una put 2baba

in my top 50

King0G is not a blogger but a music lover

We all know that it's a dream of every musician to be heard globally, and once you get into the American industry, you're almost there.

There were those who attempted, those who failed, and those who are still trying today, with the hope of being heard one day.


I am presenting you with the top 5 countdown Nigerian musicians who have successfully penetrated the American industry and achieved global recognition.


Once again I repeat top 5
So whoever you think should be here might be in my top 50.. thank you.




5) WIZKID

we all know when wizkid started 2009/2010 signed by banky w we always knew he was a star. I mean the freestyle he did on Tim Westwood TV still remains one of the best ever done by an African artist till date. he went on to feature drake, chris brown and even wrote for some of them. wizkid penetrated deep I must say for selling 02 arena several times even if it's london but he has penetrated into the america spotlight with undying love from fans home and abroad.



4) DAVIDO

Being known is one thing, but being consistent is another. The American-born Nigerian singer doesn't slack at all, even without a Grammy award. He is known globally because of his hard work and consistency. He did numerous features with america artist and friends with them too. I believe the last time one of them came to nigeria, davido sent is fleet of cars to go pick him. Mention davido overseas in the uk, USA, almost all music lovers knows the name.



3) BURNA BOY
one of the most controversial musician from Nigeria can't be over looked, burnaboy is notably known abroad not just for is grammy AWARDbut as AFRICA GIANT. he's energetic looks, energetic performance gives him much stance. He has done several samples of america musicians songs that even blew way more than the original songs and one can't help to say how unique he is despite the attacks he gets from all angles people calling him the king of samples...(but last I checked, I heard a lil durk gave him an invite to remix his song "all my life" which is currently out)



2) FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI

if I don't mention the legend himself, the king of afrobeat, the pioneer himself. What will be my gain? Fela was known during the time all over the globe and I wonder how he did it. When they were hardly any promotions, radio stations, tv sets and the rest unlike now that they is streaming apps all over. Social media site and the rest. Yes fela is number 2 because he create the way for all the afro beats today in african. Rest on king.




1) REMA

I have never seen an african musician who rose to global recognition as fast as rema. This was a kid who literally started in 2018 freestyling from his parent vehicle then upload it on the internet. Viola he was quickly picked by don jazzy signed to mavin records, changed his genre from hip-hop to afro party pattern and HERE WE GO like fabrizio. Baby calm down! Calm down. A song nigeria thought were nursery's rhymes was accepted all over the world even as far as indian, china, meanwhile in nigeria it barely even had good time play. The remix he did with selena gomez and the relationship rumours helped to spice up everything and I must say rema is one of the most global afrobeat musician as at now.

Khyrvxjzy:
person just list 9 people + people wey in no list

if dem burn you well talk for this forum again

you are a mad man

Carcholce:
Fans you said. Did he, Wizkid complain? Did he post on his social media pages to complain?

he doesn't have to.
This post was made in response to fans like Cynthia Morgan who were ranting online on is behalf.

Mystiquefia:
2face has a different personality that is different from Wizkid, stop capping Nonsense

Wizkid is boring online and offline

2face being the most criticized artist ever knows to keep his calm online, but has good working relationship with his colleagues and friends offline. DONT COMPARE BOTH IN PUBLIC RELATION.
2face is like a commedian offline, even dem Jay Jay okacha and kanu nwakwo go turn up

Man I am not comparing 2face and wizkid infact they have same selfish personality and the whole Nigeria knows that.


Reead before you comments out of point

Mystiquefia:
Where u even Born when 2face had his wedding with Annie to notice the number of celebrity's that trooped to the traditional marriage in Akwaibom? What about the white wedding that took place in South Africa?
2face doesn't talk on issues because of the backlash he normally receives from u people for cancelling a protest he once spearheaded, but to be comparing his influence with Wizkid in the industry is laughable. There are celebrity's that are a celebrity to your own celebrity.
2face is the convergence between old skul and new skul, if he wan do party today all them African China, faze, rugged man, Idris, 9ice, timaya, pquare, donjazzy dbanj go turn up.. New skul like Rema, davido, falz etc go still turn up..

That was then...
Let him do another wedding now..
People eyes are opened everyday, they are no longer daft like before.
Alot of people share my logic about this stingy and selfish artist who makes no positives impact in the society.
No help can be traced to them
It's all about themselves

Carcholce:
You guys are sick in the head. Always trying to equate A and B to think and act the same way. Wizkid is not Davido, Davido is not wizkid. As if wizkid send anybody papa whether them come the burial or not. Tomorrow he’ll release another banger to suffocate your Davido and his fans.

he nor send anybody we gree

Same way people didn't send him


Why are you fans complaining of low turn out of celebrities.

Do unto others what you would like them to do to you. It's funny when I see wizkid fans lamenting online with the low turn ups of A list artist and celebrities at wizkid mum burial ceremony. But seriously ask yourself? Were you surprised?

I was not, I expected it to be this way because I know the Internet never forgets.
People don't forget

You don't mingle with them
Hardly comments on sensitive issues bothering the society.
Keeping to yourselve all the time like you are special.
No impact on the society despite the huge influence
And you expect people to be there for you

Be kind to people and they will be kind to you.
Be impactful to people and they will make impact in your life when the time comes

I dare to say if this was davido mother burial the whole internet and country will be on fire since the day it happened till this moment.
Even the loss of his son says it all
No one will sleep
Thats positivity.
Obi cubana mother's burial can also be a case study.






Same treatments awaits 2face


The internet never forgets.



I hold no grudges against wizkid whatsoever but the energy you give that's what you get.



May his mom soul rest in peace





Note : this post was made in response to cynthia Morgans lamentations on instagram.


Thank you.



Remember king0g is not a blogger but a music lover.

I have never been curious like this, it's so painful

Here everything is unpredictable.

*Naira Marley and sam larry might be vindicated from the murder assertion by Nigerians

*New evidence might surface


*maybe several arrest might be warranted


*a lot of questions will be raised


*more protest to come

Nazgul:
You have an addiction. Being broke doesn't make a man sell his properties, because a broke single man is only concerned about his stomach. And with a little Hussle and few helps from friends, he can sort out the problem of his stomach.

He woild resort to selling his properties only if it's an emergency or a matter of life and death.

Addiction however makes one desperate. Be it betting, drugs, alcohol, women...etc. You would always need cash so badly that you can even deposit or sell your property just to get it.

I'll suggest you engage in a sober reflection. Search yourself inwardly and seek help if you indeed have any addiction that's swallowing your finances.

Then and only then would you be free.

Thanks for this bro

Rayban25:
show me proof of your @bolded statement for everyone here to see.

because its obvious you dont have the wisdom and knowledge youre talking about. Go and get a life.

Before you comment at least take a look at the username.
I have never begged for money and never will.
This is my last response to you
Thnaks

Rayban25:
see this begging format don cast. stop disturbing the moderator. take advise from the comments on top.

Not every one comes here to beg for financial assistance like you bro, so many of us needs wisdom and knowledge to live life.

TemplarLandry:
There's a spirit behind it. You need prayers.

just prayers? I have been praying why hasn't it stop

I am not here for financial aid but help from people who have overcome such problems.


I can't help but think, when I get married with a wife and kids to feed, is this how I am going to continue? How will my family respect me.

This is the 3rd time of me replacing my tv set in the last 2years. Whenever I run out of money, I search for anything valuable to sell in my home, with the mindset that I will replace it. Which I normally do but sometimes it takes time because i know i might sell it again within some weeks. This is getting on me deeply with the number of cartons of phones and receipts from same equipments I no longer have.
My generator is another thing to talk about that my neighbors and landlord are starting to gossip because I can't explain changing of generator to and fro when its always placed outside.

I know I need help but don't know how to go about this.
I am not here for financial assistance as claimed by some peoples in anyway please, some of us seek for ways to stop some certain things when we know we are falling off tracks.

I am on my way to lg office to replace my TV for the third time and the thought of it warrants this post.

In this life I just realised you are on your own when it cast.
Do good and live right.
You may think you have support and good fan base system but when you find yourself in a difficult situation you will realize you are on your own.

I was hoping to see a great support from marlians nation worldwide but I was wrong

Omihanifa:
Just overlook and keep doing your best

exactly

Why is that when I give my parent money like 50 to 80k for upkeep within a month it's finished and I start getting calls and so forth which is quite okay. But when I am broke as in really broke that I can't even carter for something's myself my sisters comes in and from her low paying job she drops like 10k or thereabout that can take them for sometime with enough of gratitudes from them and they spend it quite well . But mine is just like seen normal and it's almost likes it's lessed valued I mean that's how I feel.
I am not here for any abuse on my parents I love them and like catering for their needs but man has to think sometimes and wonder if other fellow men like myself experience such.

What a poor mindset.

9jaBloke:
I think the post is about once very popular music stars that dropped a come-back song but couldn't stage a successful come-back.
