“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.
Kelly Clarkson has hit pause on her Las Vegas residency, choosing to step away from the stage to focus on what matters most right now which is her family. The pop star recently announced that all of her scheduled shows in August at Caesars Palace have been postponed.
The decision comes after her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, fell seriously ill. Clarkson, who shares two children with him, explained that she needs to be there for her kids during this tough period. She took to Instagram to explain the situation, saying that while it was a hard choice to make, her family must come first.
This isn’t the first time her Vegas run has been interrupted. Just last month, she was forced to cancel her opening weekend shows due to vocal strain. Between personal challenges and health setbacks, Clarkson’s residency, titled Studio Sessions, has faced multiple bumps along the way.
Fans who already bought tickets now have two options, they can either wait for the newly scheduled dates in 2026 or request a refund. Caesars Palace and ticketing platforms are already working with fans to handle the changes.

Nigerian Actor, Jim Iyke, speaks on feminism and shares that modern feminism has lost its true meaning.
During a recent interview, the actor shares his thoughts on modern feminism and shares how they stopped carrying the same value with actual feminism.
“I consider it a crime, a kind of assault. The perpetrators of this… clearly, I would not name the magazine… launched a clever campaign to push sales . Who were their chief readers? Women. So they devised an ideology that allowed women to challenge the status quo and compete with men in the same space.”
