“YOU WILL NEVER SEE YOUR MONEY AGAIN!” Ubi Franklin Drops A Bombshell On The Brutal Financial Reality Of The Music Industry!.
Prominent music executive Ubi Franklin has opened up about the daunting financial realities of the industry during his appearance on the EC podcast, labeling the music business as the single riskiest venture he has ever undertaken. Franklin revealed that pushing a single track to the public can easily demand an investment of up to ₦100 million, noting that dropping the song is merely the starting line.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to him, maintaining momentum requires heavy spending long after release—even if a track successfully goes viral on TikTok—because modern music consumers have exceptionally short attention spans and can lose interest overnight. Highlighting the volatile nature of the industry, Franklin warned that sinking massive amounts of capital into a song offers zero guarantee of a financial return, making it an intensely unpredictable gamble for executives and investors alike.
Reflecting on the grueling economics of the trade, Franklin stated: “Music is the riskiest business I’ve ever done. You need ₦100m to promote one song. Even if TikTok carries it, you still need money to keep it on the charts because people have short attention spans, and there’s no guarantee you’ll get your money back.”

“STEP ASIDE, LEGENDS!” Portable Accuses Davido And Wizkid Of Hoarding The Spotlight And Killing Other Artistes’ Careers!.
Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has voiced his frustration that heavyweights like Davido, Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Olamide have held a tight grip on the peak of the Nigerian music scene for over a decade. In a video posted to his Instagram story, he argued that while these Afrobeats giants have actively helped push other artists into the limelight, their stubborn refusal to step down or retire has effectively blocked a new generation from taking over the spotlight. Portable drew a contrast with past legends like 2Face, Timaya, and Eedris Abdulkareem, who had their time and eventually moved on.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Shifting his focus to the traditional music scene, the Zazuu crooner called out veteran Fuji stars—specifically naming K1 De Ultimate, Pasuma, and Saheed Osupa—accusing them of failing to support and lift up underground Fuji acts the way Afrobeats stars do. He also humorously justified his public callouts of top artists, admitting that his controversial antics toward the likes of Olamide, Wizkid, and Davido are simply tactical moves to get close to them, chill out, and tap into their wealth.
Summarizing his unfiltered thoughts, Portable stated: “If you see me drag Olamide, the reason is because I want to chill with him. If you see me drag Wizkid, I want to chill with him. If you see me drag Davido, I want to spend his money. Davido, Burna Boy, Olamide and Wizkid are trying; they blow people up, but Fuji Artistes like K1 De Ultimate, Pasuma and Osupa Saheed aren’t lifting Fuji underground artistes up. Four artistes have been reigning in Nigeria for over 10 years. Timaya, 2face, and Eedris Abdulkareem came, reigned and left, but Davido, Olamide, Burna Boy, and Wizkid have refused to retire and let other artistes to reign.”
