Famous Nigerian disc jockey, Imohiosen Patrick, popularly known as DJ Neptune, has raised concerns about a growing trend in the Nigerian music industry.
According to him, industry veterans are often sidelined once they reach a certain stage in their careers. DJ Neptune described this as a structural problem, noting that in the Western world, established acts and newcomers are allowed to thrive side by side.
Hear him; “In Nigeria, once you reach a certain level they push you aside like, ‘Oya go to that corner, we’re done with you.’ It’s a structural problem. Abroad, the OGs are still as relevant as the newbies. We need to address the structural issues,” he said in a recent interview with Hip TV.”
“Although I don’t plan to do this all my life -when it’s time to take a bow, I will. But what I have just done over the years is that I know when it’s time to re-invent. That’s life. Things are changing so you need to move with the time.”
