Speaking in a video broadcast, the African Queen crooner claiming that there is no such thing as “wack artists,” arguing that every music is tailored made and acceptance is narrowed down to promotion and other commercial strategies/reasons.
Innocent Idibia, the legendary Nigerian singer, who is widely known as 2Baba, has weighed in on the issue of mediocrity in the music industry, addressing why some artists are often labeled as “wack.”
Speaking in a video broadcast, the African Queen crooner claiming that there is no such thing as “wack artists,” arguing that every music is tailored made and acceptance is narrowed down to promotion and other commercial strategies/reasons.
He said, “Every music is tailored made to evoke an emotion, to create a spirit. There is nothing like a wack artiste.
"That is why many of the so-called wack artists are more bankable than the talented ones. Because they understand that it is not the art itself, it is the marketing of that art.
“No matter how talented you are or how sweet your music is, there is no music that everybody likes.
"Everything is narrowed down to the marketing, promotion and the business. It is only those who resonate with your music that will like it naturally.”
