Jeriq reacts to claims of lack of support amongst Igbo artists

Nigerian rapper, Jeremiah Chukwuebuka Ani, popularly known as Jeriq, has reacted to the claims of Igbo artists not supporting each other in the music industry.

The artist, while speaking on the Vybz Cartel Podcast, regarded such claims as fallacies, revealing that he has received the most support from Igbo people.

“The narrative that Igbo people don’t help each other is a fallacy. Flavour for example, has helped a lot of artists, including several rising Igbo artists, who are now thriving in the music industry due to his co-sign. I am also a beneficiary of Flavour’s magnanimity. My biggest song ever in this life is ‘Oluoma.’ Who gave me the verse? Flavour. Numbers don’t lie. It’s my biggest song ever. Flavour did not collect a dime from me,” he stated.

Jeriq also revealed that his collaboration with Flavour and Phyno did not cost him a dime, adding that he is looking forward to the global growth of more Igbo artists

“I collaborate with other artists and they send me contract and slpit-sheeet. But Phyno and Flavour have never collected a dime from me. I have done three songs with Phyno and one hit with Flavour. They collaborated with me free of charge. The way Asake is doing everything with Yoruba language, I believe that somebody will sell out a stadium either in U.S or Paris with Igbo language,” he added.
