Reekado Banks raises alarm over music executive exploiting young artists

Nigerian singer Reekado Banks has expressed concern about a prominent figure in the music industry whom he accuses of exploiting upcoming artists.

In a recent interview, Reekado chose not to reveal the executive’s identity but described him as “demonic,” noting that many young talents who have worked with him often experience serious setbacks or career troubles afterward.

> “There is one big man in the music industry who is demonic and taking advantage of young talents. I have worked with him before. Other young artists have also worked with him. I would not want to mudsling, you know, put his name through the mud, although the person knows himself,” Reekado said.
“But I would like to educate people about the man, because from what I’ve discovered, everybody that has worked with him ends up in a mess.”

Reekado’s remarks quickly sparked reactions on social media, with many fans criticizing him for refusing to disclose the executive’s name.

Some of the reactions included:

@jettyroyal: “You won’t mention his name, but you want to educate young men to beware of him. It is well.”

@seyi: “This right here is the problem… Politicians will come out and say ‘I know who did this’ but won’t mention names. STFU.”

@big_xavier: “He is just doing this to promote his album. There is absolutely nothing like that.”

@alhaji_sayam: “If you will not mention names, why say it in the first place?”

@bobszn: “Na Don Jazzy this egbon dey talk about.”
