Singer Korede Bello has expressed concern that the rise of young artists in the entertainment industry is leading to a decline in music quality.
In an interview on Hip TV’s “Trending”, Korede Bello explained that many young artistes lack the experience and depth needed to create high-quality music.
He pointed out that the younger an artist reaches stardom, the more likely their music will lack substance.
According to Bello, young artists often focus on flashy lifestyles and superficial themes rather than drawing from real-life struggles and emotions.
He praised veteran artistes such as African China, Timaya, and Fela, whose music he described as rich in experience and authenticity.
The famous Nigerian singer noted that young artistes can only produce what they know and urged fans not to hold them accountable for their limitations.
“When you start to have young artistes blowing up, the quality of the music starts to reduce because they don’t have quality experiences.
“They don’t know how to live yet. Young people don’t yet know how to live, they just know they are living. They want to live large, so that’s what they’re going to sing about.
“If you listen to an African China, where he’s coming from, he has seen things. Timaya, and Fela—all have experiences. Their songs are expressions of reality. We should not blame these young artists; you can only give what you have”, he said.
