A throwback video of Nigerian singer Oniyide Azeez, popularly known as Zinoleesky, expressing how some artists in the music industry are not being paid enough has resurfaced on the Internet.
This is coming after Crown Uzama professionally known as Shallipopi exited Dapper record.
Legit reported that the Obapluto singer expressed concern about how his label broke his trust and mishandled his finances.
In the viral video, Zinoleesky said that with the percentage collected by record bosses, artists would find it difficult to believe that their colleagues had made some giant strides.
The singer stated:
“You that your boss collects 70% and you collect 30%, are you the one that wants to buy a Ferrari. Are you the one your age mate would buy a Ferrari, and you would believe it? No, you wouldn’t. When you aren’t worth it, you wouldn’t believe your age mate who is worth it exists.”
He added that most artistes are not getting nice deals but only look sophisticated in their dressing.
He said:
“All these people are not getting nice deals. They are not doing good. Only clothes are what they wear. They are not okay. Be wise. Industry life would implicate you all. Fake life. And those of you who said you are not under label but management, you are doomed. Go and wise up, I can’t deceive you. That’s my own advise. Good bye.”
