Upcoming Artiste Calls For Promotion Of Indigenous Talents
A talented upcoming artiste, Miss Janet Gogo, has called for the promotion of indigenous talents in the music industry as she appealed to the established artistes to carry along the upcoming talents by organising events for them to showcase their talents as well as financial grants to promote their musical works.
The young artiste who spoke with the Tide Entertainment noted that the growth of the music industry in Nigeria should be a collective effort between the government and the private sector and should not be left in the hand of one sector alone.
The circular and gospel music singer appealed to well meaning Nigerians in the entertainment enclave to come to her aid in order to produce her songs and developed her God given talent. She said “I have over five great songs that are wasting due to lack of sponsorship, I therefore appeal for financial and moral support”.
Janet Gogo stressed that the music industry in Nigeria is an evolving money spinner for the nations economy, the younger generation of Nigerian musicians should be adequately encouraged to inject new talents in the industry and be able to step into the shoes of the older artistes when they retire from active performance in order to ensure continuity in the industry.

R&B star, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has recounted the early-career challenges she faced, revealing that she was once booed out of the stage while performing at a school event.
Speaking in an interview with Newsmen, the Crazy Tings crooner shared that she wasn’t only booed but was also harassed with plastic bottles.
“I remember one time I was going to perform at my school as an up-and-coming singer and I thought I was going to receiving a standing ovation.
“But I got booed. They even threw plastic bottles at me,” she recalled.
Tems explained that despite the embarrassing incident and other such rejections, she remained determined to pursue a career in music.
The Tide Entertainment reports that Tems admitted that some of the initial rejections she faced could be due to her conviction to stick to her originality instead of doing covers or familiar sounds like most of her peers.
The Grammy-winning singer said looking back now, she is glad that she didn’t compromise her style despite the initial pressures.
A close associate of late singer Mohbad, Primeboy, has appealed for the artiste’s burial nearly three years after his death.
According to him, Mohbad’s body remains in the mortuary since September 12, 2023, pending burial arrangements.
The Tide Entertainment reports that in a statement Primeboy urged the family, public, and government to permit the burial, stating, “It’s been almost three years since Mohbad left us. His body is still in the mortuary. I’m begging the family, I’m begging the public, I’m begging the government, please let’s bury our brother. He deserves a befitting burial.”
It would be recalled that Mohbad’s death sparked public outrage, protests, and investigations. Ongoing autopsy examinations, police inquiries, and legal proceedings have delayed burial arrangements amid family disagreements and public scrutiny.
