Adekunle Gold Claims Music Industry Is Run by Those Without Music Knowledge

 

Afrobeats singer Adekunle Gold has voiced concerns about the current state of the music industry.

He believes that the industry is being led by individuals who are not passionate about music and lack a genuine understanding of the craft.

Gold argued that these leaders are dominating the conversation, pushing misleading narratives that prioritise mediocrity over talent.

As a result, he claimed that real talent is being overlooked and subpar content is thriving.

The singer expressed frustration on social media, stating that people who have no business leading music conversations are now controlling and destroying the industry.

He emphasised that artists, producers, and true contributors are being overshadowed by those who do not create or respect the craft.

Adekunle Gold 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.”
