Rapper and singer, Zlatan Ibile has expressed deep concern about the emergence of influencer culture and its impacts on the Nigerian entertainment industry.

The singer lamented that music-making is no longer exclusive to professional musicians but anyone with considerable social media influence, including skitmakers, pranksters, TikTokers, and content creators.

“It used to be that artists were the celebrities, but now TikTokers, influencers, and content creators are celebrities. That is why you can see an influencer or skit maker drop a song and it blows up,” Zlatan stated in an episode of the Afrobeats podcast hosted by Shopsydoo.

The rapper noted that the development has undoubtedly affected the quality of music.

Singer Kcee recently expressed similar concerns, claiming that the rise of social media influencers has affected the organic nature of music, streams, and charts.

The Limpopo crooner argued that while influencer culture has some benefits, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

Nigerian rapper, Blaqbonez has claimed that “regular people” are more likely to find genuine love and maintain healthy relationships than celebrities.

Blaqbonez explained that “everyday” people have more stable routines which give them the opportunity to create time for their partners as opposed to celebrities whose routines are disrupted from time to time.

Speaking in a recent episode of the Ada’s Room podcast, the rapper disclosed that he finds it difficult to commit to one woman because of his lifestyle as an artiste.

“In a relationship, I care about my partner but not in a fairytale way. I don’t think I can give anybody the fairytale. I even think that the fairytale thing is fake. Human beings are just trying to not accept reality.

“My lifestyle as an artiste is part of the reasons I can’t give anyone a fairytale love. If I was an everyday-person that didn’t have to communicate with too many people, it would be easier to dedicate myself to one woman.

“Because as an everyday-person you just go to work and come back home to your woman after closing and repeat.
“You can create a routine where just one or two people challenge the routine in a year. But being an artist, people challenge your routine every day,” he explained.

Blaqbonez stated that another reason it is difficult for artists to find true love is because they hardly meet people by chance, stressing that most people who come around them are opportunistic.

“It is really difficult to find genuine relationship. Being an artiste, everybody you meet engineered themselves to be there to meet you. It is crazy because you supposed to just live and meet radom people,” he added.
