It’s the beginning of the last quarter and many
artistes are doubling up to end the year on a
fruitful note. Indeed, it has been a robust
entertainment year, return-wise, for the likes
of Psquare, Omawummi, Tiwa Savage, Wizkid,
Dbanj, Kcee and new rap sensation, Olamide.
While they did succeed in clinching
endorsement deals, some of which were
mouth-watering, and performed at high-
profile events for three times the sum of
money they used to charge as appearance
fees, others have different tales to tell. Among such people, 9ice’s Gongo a So singer,
9ice has a mixed story trailing his strides. He,
for instance, has not been part of the
endorsement spree. While he also not feature
in major concerts, such as the Star Trek, his
latest single, Ike Kan, produced by Don Jazzy, has failed to generate the buzz that
characterised his previous hits, including
Gongo a So, The lanky artiste has been busy
honouring invitations to perform at shows
abroad. Another name that readily comes to mind is
that of Kas of Fimile fame. He too has been
quiet, and not partaken of the endorsement
feast. Yet, the artiste says the perceived
absence from the music scene does not in any
way translate to dwindling fortunes for him. He says, “I have been busy. The truth is that
you cannot rely on music alone. Hence, the
diversification. So, it’s amazing that people
can ever think I am broke. God forbid, I am
not broke.”
