Like they say, all good things must come to an end. For some of these artistes, is it right to say the end has come?
Because we really like them and we don’t want the good memories we have of them to be tainted, we’ll like to respectfully recommend them for retirement or at least an urgent reinvention.
1. Sound Sultan
You’ve been a mentor and big brother to many artistes. Your songwriting ability has never been in doubt and many artistes have you to thank for their hit songs. But the arrangement just no dey gel again. As you probably noticed with the cold reception of your seventh album, it may actually be time to free the music, or go back to the drawing board.
2. 2face Idibia
When artistes start changing names and investing outside of core music, you begin to suspect that they’re starting to plan for a possible exit. And after all of 2baba‘s achievements in a remarkably enduring career, who can blame him? Now that his kids are growing up, maybe now is the time to spend more time with them?
3. 9ice.
When 9ice decided to enter politics, he knew what he was doing. Being involved in politics is likely to pay him (pun unintended) more than music. 2019 is around the corner. Now is the time to start campaigning o!
4. Ice Prince
When was the last time Ice had a hit? It’s been a long while. He seems to not to be sure of what to do; rap or pop. But Chocolate City has given him his own label, Super Cool Cats. Time to learn how to recruit new stars; or find a way to rework the formula to gave us Oleku.
5. Ruggedman
This is how Ruggedman arrived Buckwyld ‘n’ Breathless concert in Lagos last Saturday.
There was a time when Rugged had rhymes, wit and punchlines. But that was long ago.
Daddy, take time off, go for vacations, tour the world, and focus more on the clothing business. This rap thing is not werking again. Wait, is he actually still rapping?
6. D’Prince
To be honest, if it wasn’t for this video Don Jazzy shared on Sunday morning, most people have completely forgotten about his rather good-looking and amiable younger brother.
7. Kayswitch
We are still trying to look for another job description for you sir; since the only biography you had went with Mohits Records.
8. D’banj
At this juncture, it is clear to the Kokomaster that he needs to pay more attention to his agric ventures and forget about music. There’s nothing to prove anymore- he’s been there, and done that. And he’s writing cheques even if he’s no more writing hits. Not bad.
9. Banky W
Thank God he now knows how to direct videos; perhaps it’s time to join Kemi Adetiba, and possibly feature in more movies. If that was good enough for Will Smith who left his somewhat lukewarm music career for Hollywood, then it’s most definitely good for Mr Capable.
10. Ill Bliss
The self acclaimed ‘Oga Boss’ who is only a boss at Capital Hill. Phyno has gone. Chidinma has gone. Even Suspekt has moved on. On behalf of Nigeria new school youths, we award you the permission to retire. Those two Headies plaque were retirement gifts in disguise, just in case you didn’t know.
