After Five Star Music, the label on which the young artist Skiibii was signed on denied that the talented musician pulled a death stunt to market his music, the group went ahead to sack, or however suspend its manager, Soso Soberenko over breach of contract and mismanagement.
In a statement, the label said, Skiibii, born Abiodun Toyyib collapsed and was rushed to a private hospital in Lagos, but unknowingly got news of his death covering the country’s blogosphere. Can that be true? Nigerians disagreed, as they revolted in anger through their tweets and updates online.
Drastically, Soso Soberenko’s twitter account followers are reducing. Even the Skiibii that was on the news never had added followers, as his own account is stagnant. What then is the gain? Promo of the song? I’m sure you’ve not heard of what a prospective lost fan of his said.
“How sick, demeaning and totally unprofessional it is to fake your own death just to promote a damn track! Of course just like the popular saying goes, you can only take a horse to the stream but you can’t force it to drink from it. Truth be told, I never knew you existed not until now. But the fact is this, you got the much desired attention but you’ve also lost the rational part of your fan base and prospective fans.
