Popular singer Reekado Banks has issued a warning to expose a figure he claims is sabotaging emerging talents in the Nigerian music scene. He described this mysterious individual as either “demonic or clueless,” alleging that they have a knack for identifying promising artists only to undermine their careers through poor decisions.
In a statement, Banks suggested that this person has a troubling track record of attracting new talent, ultimately leading to their downfall. He promised to reveal the identity of this saboteur in an upcoming interview, which has generated considerable anticipation among fans and industry insiders.
On Tuesday, Banks shared a cryptic post on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “One day, I’ll take an interview to talk about someone in the corners of the entertainment industry, who’s either absolutely clueless or plain demonic. Somehow, the brightest budding talents fall in their lap, and either through cluelessness or pure demonic activities, they agree to policies that effectively slow these talents down and for some others, frustrate them out of pursuing their dreams. One day…”
This revelation sparked speculation that he might be referring to someone from his former label, Mavins Records, where he rose to fame. However, Reekado Banks quickly clarified in a follow-up post that he was not talking about his former label boss, Don Jazzy. He wrote, “It may not be obvious to you all, but I’m definitely not referring to Baba J [Don Jazzy]. Ejo lol, pls n thanks. That said, oloriburuku gbaaaa, ni Eni to mo n so yi!”
The singer’s comments have led to numerous theories regarding the identity of the individual he is targeting. Fans and industry observers are eager to learn more about the situation, with many speculating about potential candidates who fit the description of a saboteur within the industry.
In a separate incident, the popular luxury detective page T20Luxury has called out actress Mercy Aigbe for showcasing a counterfeit handbag, further stirring conversations about authenticity and credibility in the entertainment industry. As the situation unfolds, both Reekado Banks and Mercy Aigbe remain at the center of discussions regarding integrity and support within the Nigerian entertainment landscape.
