Cubana Chief Priest Under Fire: Nigerian Music Criticized for Overemphasis on Wealth

A concerned music enthusiast, Awuzie Frankline, has expressed disappointment with the current state of Nigerian music, citing an overemphasis on wealth and materialism.

Frankline specifically criticized Cubana Chief Priest’s new song, arguing that its lyrics lack meaningful content, instead focusing on self-praise and boasts about wealth.

Ekwutosblog gathered that Frankline’s critique extends beyond Cubana Chief Priest, suggesting that many Nigerian musicians prioritize singing about money and riches over more substantial themes.

He nostalgically references iconic artists like Michael Jackson and Lucky Dube, who tackled socially conscious topics in their music.

While acknowledging that singing about success is not inherently wrong, Frankline argues that the prevalence of wealth-focused lyrics in Nigerian music has become excessive.

He commends Peter of P-Square for offering a refreshing alternative with his song “Winning.” Frankline’s commentary sparks a larger conversation about the role of music in society and the responsibility of artists to promote positive and meaningful messages.

50 Cent actually motivated me when he refused to take pictures with me!..-Davido

“The first time I ever saw 50 Cent, I was just a kid in Vegas. I walked up to him and asked, ‘Can I take a picture with you?’
He looked at me and said, ‘No.’

Back then, I still had my Nigerian accent. I was like, ‘Wow… 50 Cent, can I take a picture with you?’… 50 Cent just said no!, and I walked away.

Years later, I met him again and reminded him of that moment. He smiled and said, ‘You here now.’

Then he brought me out at Madison Square Garden in front of 20,000 people, and now…
We’re about to shut down London Stadium — 80,000 Capacity!”
