Nigerian recording artist Ayoleyi Hanniel Solomon, better known by his stage name Reekado Banks has something to tell us about the state of his bank account as opposed to what people are saying on social media that Mavin records is finding it difficult to secure a spot for their artistes in big shows.
In an interview with Punch ng, the 24 year old ”Easy Jeje” crooner said:
“Every artist should know how to quantify their success. This year has not ended, but I have made more money than I did last year or the previous year. It is just the perception of some people who think this year has not been good for Reekado. I’ve made more than double of what I made last year. So, if you think last year was good for Reekado, I can confidently tell you that this year is far better.”
“I am sure Tiwa Savage would not say that this year hasn’t been a good one. She dropped hit songs and she is fully booked for December. I am fully booked for December too and the same thing applies to other artistes under Mavin. So, I don’t understand why people are comparing this year with last year.”
“Controversies, in a way, put you in the public eye. In showbiz, no matter how good you are, the controversial singer’s get more credit and awards. But I don’t quantify success with awards, it is far different from that.”
