NIGERIAN AMERICAN PROMOTERS SAY "NO" TO “UNPROFESSIONAL ARTISTS, ARTIST ENTOURAGE, LIP SYNCING ARTISTS & OVER PRICED ARTISTS".

Just few weeks ago, we complained about Nigerian artists putting up terrible shows, having horrible stage performance. Looks like a group of Nigerian American Promoters are also angry at the Nigerian artists who make trips to the United States of America for tours and do terrible shows. Most of these artists are over priced, unprofessional and lip sync. Follow up with the hashtag (#wenobemumuforartist) on Twitter & Instagram. 

Press Release:

To all parties this message/notice may concern.

over the years, it’s been enthusiastic priority for Nigerian promoters based in the USA and in the “Diaspora” generally to improve, expand and promote Nigerian (African) music to the best of our ability and we have worked very hard over the years.

from mixing to producing to waiting outside radio station’ studios for countless hours BECAUSE WE WANTED TO ENTERTAIN FANS OF THE MUSIC as well as get our wonderful music (AFROBEAT) noticed and enjoyed by the world.

We are based in the USA where it’s a third of the price to BOOK a local talent (and by local we also mean internationally known, mainstream artists) than it is the prices being pitched to us by Artists’ Managers and publicists and ex high school buddies and side chicks and present girlfriends and “Outlaws” aka wannabe promoters who throw “good” money at these artists and get them to commit to events that they (AND BY THEY WE MEAN THE ARTIST AND THE WANNABE BOTH) have no idea about.

we would also ask and prefer that our artists concentrate more on improving their acts or performances for their fans cause that’s really what this is all about.

we didn’t become professionals and promote Afrobeat and put together great international events to get these artists to where they are only to be bamboozled by a wannabe or a greedy manager or an artist who just looks at us (and the fact that we live abroad) as mugus!

we no be mugu and this has to stop!

we ask that when artists are putting shows together that they be musically involved and also have a stake in their own show. cause really we are spending blind money on some monstrous atrocities presented as tours and performances.

Price quotes are out of this world and in fact have become just really colossal and not in a good way at all.
