Reekado Banks Calls Out Industry Figures for Hindering Emerging Talents

Nigerian singer Reekado Banks has sparked conversations about the struggles faced by upcoming artists in the entertainment industry.

In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), he expressed frustration over certain individuals in the industry whom he described as either “clueless” or “demonic.” According to him, these individuals often end up managing promising talents but, through ignorance or deliberate actions, implement policies that slow them down or push them out of their dreams.

He tweeted:

*”One day, I’ll take an interview to talk about someone in the corners of the entertainment industry, who’s either absolutely CLUELESS or plain DEMONIC.

Somehow, the brightest budding talents fall in their lap and either through cluelessness or pure demonic activities, they agree to policies that effectively slow these talents down and for some other talents, frustrate them out of pursuing their dreams.

One day …”*

While Reekado Banks did not mention any names, his statement has stirred reactions online, with many speculating about who he might be referring to. His remarks highlight the ongoing challenges faced by emerging artists in an industry where management and policy decisions can significantly impact their careers.
