Adekunle Gold has raised concerns about the state of the Nigerian music industry, citing a leadership crisis that is stifling creativity and promoting mediocrity
According to Adekunle Gold, the industry is being dominated by individuals who lack a genuine understanding and appreciation of music.

In a post on his X handle, Adekunle Gold lamented that artists, producers, and other creatives are being overshadowed by people who are not music-oriented.

He argued that this has led to the proliferation of misleading narratives about the industry, resulting in the neglect of real talent and the thriving of mediocrity.
Adekunle Gold’s comments have sparked a conversation about the need for a more inclusive and creative-led music industry in Nigeria.

His remarks serve as a call to action, urging industry stakeholders to reassess the current state of affairs and work towards a more sustainable and artist-friendly ecosystem.

He said: “People who have no business leading music conversations are now controlling and destroying the industry.

“Artists, producers, and real contributors are being overshadowed by people who don’t create, don’t understand, and don’t respect the craft.
“When the wrong people lead the conversation, they push the wrong narratives. That’s why real talent is overlooked, and mediocrity thrives. Congratulations to everyone involved.”
