“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.
Nigerian actress Yvonne Jegede is making headlines following her comments on marriage.
In a recent interview with The Punch, she described marriage as overrated and shared her perspective on how it often does not favour women.
She explained that women tend to carry more responsibilities and are sometimes expected to hold the marriage together.
“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, marriage is overrated. For people who have found happiness in marriage, I’m genuinely happy for them. But from my perspective and within my environment, marriage doesn’t always favour women.”
Nigerian reality TV star Phyna is facing backlash following her decision to undergo BBL surgery.
It can be noted that the reality star had earlier revealed plans for the procedure. This comes months after she lost her sister in a tragic accident.
Many critics have questioned her decision, suggesting she has not taken enough time to grieve. However, others have pointed out that people process grief differently.
Phyna responded to the backlash, saying “Nigerians are hypocrites. A lot of miserable people are dragging me for doing BBL a few months after my sister’s death. I have already grieved my sister and she will always remain in my heart.”
Nigerian content creator Zics Aloma has stirred reactions online after sharing an experience with a former friend.
He revealed that a friend he had not spoken to in two years reached out to him asking for financial help to settle rent. Zics responded that he could not provide such a large amount.
According to him, the former friend then insulted him, which left him surprised.
He said “You have not spoken to me for the past two years and you’re suddenly billing me. My last birthday I only got one gift from my assistant, whereas I give my friends cake, perfume, and wigs for their birthdays. This year, energy for energy.”
