Nigerian rapper, Remilekun Khalid Safaru, better known as Reminisce, has said money has replaced good music in determining a hit song.
Naija News reports that Reminisce made this known during an interview on the ‘I Said What I Said’ podcast’.
According to Reminisce, the game in the music industry has changed, noting that most hit songs nowadays depend on huge budgets, not the quality of the music.
He said, “The game has now changed to another phase. The phase where you now have to spend money to get hits.
“Money now produces hits not music anymore. That’s the phase we are in now. Whatever song you see [popping], go ask what the marketing budget was. That’s what determines how big a song is. It’s no longer just music anymore.”
