‘We Make Music For Money Not Popularity’ – D’banj

Singer D’banj, in a recent interview,
has revealed that Nigerian artistes
make music for the money involved.

The ‘Emergency’ crooner, who spoke
with the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) on Thursday, said artistes will
work harder when they get paid for
their works.
In his words:
“A musician is supposed to know how
to play good music or collaborate with
others to make good music in order to
get paid for the services.
“We are not releasing music for it to
be on You Tube or some other social
media to make us popular. A musician
should create room for some other
persons to contribute to his music to
make it worth the people’s while.
“We are releasing music to make
money and to have money to help
ourselves and our families,” he said.
On versatility, D’banj , noted that he is
open to other genres of music, but you just have to
do the one that suits a song. As an
entertainer, I have to be versatile in
what I do.”
