Seasoned vocalist Konga has expressed his disappointment regarding what he termed as the absence of backing from the current generation of Nigerian musicians towards industry icons.
During a recent installment of the Hits Don’t Lie podcast, the Kabakaba artist mentioned that Davido ought to have backed Nigerian music icons with the N200 million birthday contributions he received from his acquaintances and supporters in 2021.
NAIJATAB remembers that Davido supplemented N50 million of his personal funds, raising the overall total to N250 million, which he donated to 292 orphanages throughout Nigeria.
Nevertheless, Konga contended that it would have been more beneficial if he had utilized the funds to assist struggling music icons, emphasizing that the money could have revitalized their careers.
He remarked, “The current generation of Nigerian artists needs to show humility. Nobody is vying for their money. Yet, they have employed peer pressure to push many Nigerian music icons into performing lowly jobs abroad.
“If I were part of Davido’s team, the moment his friends pooled funds for him, I would have suggested – ‘Davido, take this money and distribute it to all these legends… bring Baba Fryo back, bring Daddy Showkey. Provide Daddy Showkey, Baba Fryo, and others with N5 million each.’
“Had he done that, the industry would have been revitalized. Our legends would have released a multitude of comeback hits. Our music icons are fleeing due to a lack of support. Take a look at Lord of Ajasa, do you find that amusing? And someone like Olamide claims Wizkid is the finest Nigerian artist internationally. Where is that sentiment stemming from? We have been engaging in international performances for decades.
“You individuals are merely taking it forward from where we halted. Fela, King Sunny Ade, Majek Fashek and others have toured the globe for many years. Just because our accomplishments weren’t recorded during that time does not imply we did nothing.”
