Nigerian singer, Ayoleyi Hanniel Solomon, better known as Reekado Banks, has vowed to expose a figure in the entertainment industry in an upcoming interview.
Taking to microblogging app, X, he hinted at revealing someone operating behind the scenes, describing them as either utterly clueless or downright malicious. He pointed out how some of the industry’s brightest rising talents end up trapped in their grasp—whether due to ignorance or intentional sabotage. According to him, these individuals enforce policies that either stifle emerging artists or frustrate them into abandoning their dreams.
“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 into their laps, and either through cluelessness or pure demonic activities, they agree to policies that effectively slow these talents down and, for some talents, frustrate them out of pursuing their dreams.
One day”.
Many social media users speculated that Reekado Banks was referring to his former boss, Don Jazzy, the owner of Mavin Records.
