Most top Nigerian female artists are dating their managers – Rapper, Magnito spills
Nigerian hip-hop artist Magnito has made a claim that the most successful female artists in the country are being managed by their boyfriends.
According to the rapper, this is a new trend in the music industry, although fans might not be aware of it because female entertainers often keep their relationships private.
Magnito shared this insight during an episode of the Terms and Conditions podcast. The revelation has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with fans and followers expressing various opinions on this trend in the music industry.
Magnito said, “Most of the successful female artistes you see, the person managing them is their boyfriend. They might not put it in the public. But most of them… Call any name.”
In other news, Zoro Swagbag has expressed his disagreement with Wizkid’s assertion that “rap is dead.”
Recall, Wizkid made this comment during an interview with 10 magazine, arguing in favor of Afrobeats dominating the industry.
In response, Zoro stated that, while he appreciated the message Wizkid was trying to convey, he believed the way it was presented was wrong. Zoro noted that Wizkid’s comment about rap being dead due to artists using similar beats and styles received backlash from Nigerian rap artists, some of whom responded online or released diss tracks.
During an interview with Tacha on Cool FM Nigeria, Zoro highlighted that Wizkid’s disclaimer, stating he wasn’t referring to Nigerian rappers, didn’t change anything because, in Zoro’s view, rappers share similarities regardless of their nationality.
