“Only Those Passionate About Music Business Should Sign Artists” – Simi says
Nigerian singer Simisola Kosoko, better known as Simi, has opened up about the growing trend of well-known artists launching record labels to sign up-and-coming talents. In a chat with VJ Adams, Simi said she’s open to mentoring younger musicians, but she doesn’t fully support the idea of artists signing others just to tick a box or boost their own image.
For her, being signed is more than just business—it’s a personal dream that deserves full commitment. She pointed out that running a label shouldn’t be treated like a side project. “Some artists just sign others for the sake of it, not necessarily because they’re ready to put in the work. That’s someone’s whole life and dream you’re dealing with,” she said.
According to Simi, the job of signing and grooming talent should be left to people who are deeply passionate about the music business and ready to stay the course—whether or not the artist becomes a star right away. “If the first hit doesn’t happen, will you still push them? That’s the real test,” she added.
While she admits she could sign someone in the future, she’s also honest about the energy and commitment it requires. “You have to be willing to walk that journey with them—and I’m not sure I have that fire in me right now,” she shared.
It can be noted that AHOF will be having a comeback, as revealed by the team’s agency on June 16. The band will be releasing a mini album on July 8.
The statement confirming their comeback shared “AHOF will release their third mini album on July 8, making a comeback after eight months.”
Nigerian actress Mary Njoku speaks on the state of the country and kidnapping stories, expressing worry over the silence in the past few days.
She stated that no news has been heard and it seems the story is dying down, and she questioned why.
“I woke up this morning, angry, heartbroken, and deeply unsettled. Are we really saying that these kidnapped children are just gone?
“Are we saying that nothing more can be done? That innocent children and toddlers can vanish, and somehow the rest of us are expected to carry on as though nothing happened?”
Popular content creator MC Mbakara has given a public apology to actor Jim Iyke over his recent claims and elevator video.
It can be noted that the content creator came out and complained about the actor always swinging and shared his recent encounter with him.
He stated online: “What will it take for him to smile? It’s annoying. Celebrities always feel like they are God or something.”
His comment sparked reactions from many as they shared their thoughts on what he said. The creator then replied:
“I never thought this would trend, but I am dropping my sincere apologies to Uncle Jim Iyke and everyone about this issue. I was wrong.”
