Korede Bello Blames Declining Music Quality on Young Artists’ Lack of Life Experience
Nigerian singer Korede Bello recently shared his views on the state of the country’s music industry, expressing concern over the declining quality of music being produced by younger artists.
Speaking on Hip TV’s popular program *Trending*, hosted by reality TV star Kim Oprah, the 28-year-old singer attributed this drop in quality to the lack of life experience among younger musicians.
Bello explained that when artists achieve fame at a young age, they often lack the depth of personal experiences needed to create meaningful and impactful music.
He pointed out that many young artists are more focused on living extravagantly rather than drawing from real-life struggles or deeper emotions in their songwriting.
As a result, the themes of their music often reflect this desire for material success, rather than exploring the complexities of life.
“When young artists blow up early in their careers, it tends to affect the quality of their music because they haven’t had enough life experiences to infuse into their art,” Bello stated.
“These young artists are still figuring out how to live; they know they’re alive, but they haven’t fully lived.
So, they naturally sing about what they want—living large, success, and the glamorous side of life.”
He contrasted today’s younger generation with veteran artists like Fela, Timaya, and African China, all of whom he described as having lived through tough and formative experiences.
Their music, he explained, is a reflection of the realities they’ve faced, giving it a level of authenticity and depth that younger artists may not yet be able to achieve.
However, Bello was quick to clarify that this isn’t necessarily the fault of the younger generation.
“We shouldn’t be too hard on them. Artists can only create from what they know. If they haven’t experienced the struggles or seen life’s harsher sides, they can’t sing about it,” he added.
His comments have sparked discussions among fans and industry experts, highlighting the ongoing debate about the balance between youthful creativity and the depth that comes with experience in producing quality music.
Afrobeats superstar, Davido, whose full name is David Adeleke, has extended his congratulations to former U.S. President Donald Trump following his re-election as the 47th President of the United States.
The singer took to his social media platform, X, to publicly acknowledge Trump’s victory, while also sending heartfelt words of support to Vice President Kamala Harris, who did not win the presidency this time around.
In his message, Davido commended Harris for her strength and accomplishments, referring to her as a “solid woman.”
He expressed that while the election did not go in her favor, she should hold her head high for all that she has achieved.
His words were a gesture of respect for her groundbreaking political career, particularly as the first woman, first Black woman, and first woman of South Asian descent to hold the office of Vice President.
Davido’s message on social media read: “Congratulations 47th POTUS @realDonaldTrump.
But you @KamalaHarris should be proud! You did that! A solid woman.”
It was clear that the artist, known for his bold personality and influential social media presence, wanted to mention Harris’s resilience in the face of adversity.
What made the post even more significant was that Davido revealed that this election marked his first time ever voting in a U.S. presidential election.
Born in Atlanta, Georgia, the Nigerian singer has long held dual citizenship in the U.S. and Nigeria.
However, the singer chose not to disclose which candidate he voted for, keeping his personal political views private.

“Let me explain to you why I get booked so much. I don’t come on stage to sing (of which I know l’m so good at) I bring my whole fucking personality on stage it’s not a joke”.
“It’s not by having hit songs you can have a million hit songs and still be clueless on stage at a 200-capacity venue.”
