God truly answers prayers…. Just
yesterday, I was discussing with some friends about the politics that goes on
in the music industry (which is allowed by the way). First of all, Soundcity
needs to take a back seat please, and stop embarrassing themselves. I’m glad
Psquare spoke up, because this is the same crap they are pulling with all the
other artists but they all don’t have the guts to speak up for fear of their
videos not being aired.
All accusing fingers point to almighty Olamide of
Soundcity. Soundcity is a TV station that is loved and respected but it’s
degenerating to something else because artists are being asked to pay X amount
of money before their videos get airplay.
Even the struggling and upcoming
artistes are billed as high as N500,000 just to get a spot on their ‘FRESH‘
segment and it probably won’t air again after one time. A lot of gist has been
filtering the streets about this Olamide’s arrogance and it’s appalling.
What
is most disappointing is the CEO of the company Mr Tajudeen Adepetu for turning
a blind eye and deaf ears to people’s complaints about this Olamide’s act. It’s
simply means that Tajudeen Adepetu too is getting kickbacks off Olamide’s
charges. Mr Taju, you are highly respected in the industry (from the days of
FAMILY CIRCLE) please don’t allow one hungry guy masking himself as the GM run
your company down...
Why would a reputable TV station
issue a statement saying that they stopped playing PSQUARE’s video because they
were invited to perform at their event and they demanded payment which is only
right??? Still beats me.
This so called event wasn’t free or was it? And even
if??? Why shouldn’t they (PSQUARE) ask for payment?? Truth is, it wasn’t
noticed that Soundcity wasn’t playing their videos because it won’t affect
Psquare’s career in anyway. I’m not an artiste, neither am I a producer or
anything related to that but I can confidently say that I’m well aware of this
shameful act by Olamide of Soundcity A lot of respect to Psquare for speaking
up. Hopefully, other artists too will man up and shun that TV station and leave
them to play only international videos. Maybe, just maybe they will ask Meek
mill or Rozay to pay before airing their videos (like they give a flying
fart)....
