While speaking to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday, Dapo Oyebanjo aka D’banj advised artistes to put making money from music first before anything else.
D’banj, who has just been sued by technology company MindHub, said artistes should be able to make money from their creative efforts.
He said:
“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 Youtube 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, I am not shying away from 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.”
