Danny Young: How Social Media Ended Oppression in Nigerian Music Industry

Nigerian musician Ajibola Danladi, popularly known as Danny Young, has spoken out about how the rise of social media transformed the dynamics of the Nigerian music industry, bringing an end to the oppression once exerted by influential figures.
In a recent episode of his podcast, the singer reflected on a personal experience when a powerful industry player deliberately excluded him from an award nomination, an incident that left a lasting impression on him.
Danny Young explained that prior to the advent of social media, gatekeepers within the industry wielded significant control, often determining which artists thrived and which ones were sidelined.
However, he believes that social media has played a key role in leveling the playing field, allowing creatives to bypass these traditional barriers.
According to Danny Young, the rise of platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube has empowered artists to showcase their talents directly to their audiences, without relying on the approval of industry elites.
This shift, he claims, has dramatically reduced the influence of gatekeepers and opened up the industry to a more diverse range of voices.
“The best thing that ever happened to the Nigerian music industry was the arrival of social media,” he stated.
“It exposed a lot of the people who used to control the narrative. Now, everyone has the freedom to express themselves without fear of being shut down.”
He further elaborated that this newfound freedom is particularly evident in the Gen Z generation of artists, whom he describes as bold and unafraid to speak their minds.
“For me, Gen Z represents more than just a generation. It symbolizes freedom—freedom of speech, freedom of rights, and freedom of expression,” Danny Young explained.
The singer’s remarks highlight how social media has revolutionized not only the music industry but also other creative sectors, giving individuals more power over their own careers.
With artists now able to directly engage with fans, promote their work, and even manage their own brands, the days of relying solely on the approval of influential industry figures are quickly fading.
Danny Young’s story serves as a testament to the profound impact this digital shift has had, offering a glimpse into how technology continues to reshape the Nigerian music landscape.

The Chosen Season 5 Now Streaming as It Tells the Story of the Last Supper

The wait is over. Season 5 of The Chosen, titled Last Supper, officially arrived today, June 15, 2025, on Amazon Prime Video. Known for bringing a fresh, emotional, and human lens to the story of Jesus and his disciples, this new season picks up right where things were getting intense — leading viewers straight into the final days before the crucifixion.
This chapter is different as it shows the weight of betrayal, loyalty, confusion, and purpose all come crashing together as the story moves toward the Last Supper — a turning point not just in the life of Jesus, but in the lives of those closest to him.
Additionally, the season is being released in batches, rather than all at once:
- June 15: Episodes 1 and 2 dropped today.
- June 22: Episodes 3, 4, and 5 will follow.
- June 29: The final three episodes (6, 7, and 8) will wrap up the season.
Right now, it’s only available to stream on Prime Video. If you already have an Amazon Prime subscription, it’s included; If not, there’s the option to subscribe to just Prime Video by itself.
But here’s the good news — even if you can’t access it now, the show will be made available for free in a few months. After 90 days, you’ll be able to watch it on The Chosen app, the show’s website, and even YouTube — just like earlier seasons.
What’s Season 5 About?
This season focuses on the final week of Jesus’s ministry — the week Christians often refer to as “Holy Week.” It includes emotionally charged scenes like the cleansing of the temple, Judas’s growing inner conflict, intimate conversations among the disciples, and of course, the iconic Last Supper.
Moreover, the way the series handles these moments isn’t like most Biblical dramas. It doesn’t just move through events, it lets you feel them.
Jonathan Roumie returns once again as Jesus, continuing his quiet but commanding portrayal. Alongside him, the familiar ensemble cast brings depth to characters like Matthew, Peter, Mary Magdalene, and Judas — each one facing personal battles as the shadow of betrayal and sacrifice looms.
From Theaters to Your Living Room
Before it arrived on streaming, parts of Season 5 were actually shown in cinemas across the U.S. and beyond. The theatrical release performed incredibly well, with fans showing up in large numbers. It reminded everyone just how much love and community surrounds this show.
Finally, if you’re wondering what comes next, yes — there’s more. Season 6, which will cover Jesus’s trial and crucifixion, is already in the works, with filming already underway in parts of the U.S. and Europe. And the creators plan to take the story all the way through the resurrection with Season 7, which will be the final chapter.
