“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 singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
