Fame, they say comes with season. There comes a particular time when one is celebrated or is seen as the rave of the moment and there comes a time when all goes down. The highly celebrated one is replaced by someone else, and the fame becomes a thing of the past.
This is rampant in the entertainment industry, especially the hip-hop aspect of the industry. There is influx of new talented artistes day by day and it makes it very easy for an artiste with a blooming career to become forgotten within a twinkle of an eye.
Below is the list of Artistes whom we feel might not shine In their musical career in 2018
· Korede Bello : Fondly called Mr Romantic, it looks like all is over for his Music career so soon. He was introduced into the industry with a theme song with the mavins records owned by Don Jazzy, before recording his massive hit, Godwin which made him very popular world-wide but it seems everything is fading away gradually as much hasn’t been heard from him lately. His album which he released in 2017 didn’t live up to what his fans expected and it will be very tough for him in 2018 to succeed in his music career
· Dija : She could give the excuse of Marriage for not being able to hold her career down like she did years back. The early part of 2017 saw a very great career for Dija, she was arguably one of the best female artists Nigeria had at the moment but suddenly, it all became sour after marriage. Marriage is a good thing and we wish her a very prosperous married life but it seems music is done with her.
· Niyola : She used to be one of the most respected female vocalists in Nigeria. The only female artist signed by Banky W to his Empire Mates Entertainment (EME). She was very hardworking, dropped hit songs, the like of Toh Bad made waves Nationwide and some of the songs she released in 2017 but it seems she hasn’t been able to withhold the fame she has gotten and it will really be hard for her to survive 2018
· Lil Kesh : Mr Yagi, as fondly called fought his way through to get famous. He left the record label he was signed to, YBNL, at the time his career was getting to its peak. Everyone was afraid but he proved people wrong by still going taller than his career was in YBNL. This is no doubt a very good kudos to him. However, his songs nowadays has the same patterns, no versatility and no much creativity, and its making people get tired of it, with this, he will definitely have a tough time in 2018
· Shaydee : He parted ways with EME in 2017, this move was actually needed because he spent over four years with the record label and he had no tangible achievement, awards, endorsements. He had songs with Wizkid, Yung6ix and lot of stars but it seems these won’t guarantee his success in 2018. He needs extra work to be able to succeed in 2018
· Dremo : His career is too young to go down the hill now, he started out in 2017 with Davido’s record Label, DMW with Mayorkun and no doubt, he got the recognition during the time he started but suddenly, it looked like he has left the music scene, he doesn’t put out hit songs, doesn’t get features around, hasn’t been getting award nominations and all that. It might also be difficult for him in 2018
· Chinko Ekun : ‘Tiger’ as he calls himself, it seems he won’t be able to bite much out of 2018 as not much is given to him. He started his career with YBNL, owned by Olamide, though he had a bright future and signed a new record deal in 2017 but it looks like he won’t get much out of 2018 in his music career
· Yemi Alade : It seems she has suddenly left the music scent to look for her ‘Johnny’, who knows, she might be planning marriage anytime soon. The kind of focus she had in her career, even up to last year was amazing but it suddenly faded away, the king of queens has suddenly become queen amidst queens, 2018 is definitely a year not to near music for her, she should try other things as it might not end well for her musically
· Chidinma : Miss Kedike, the very young looking and energetic female musician Nigeria had, it looks like her time has passed. She released some songs in 2017 which didn’t live to see the world, they only went a little bit farther from the studio where she released the songs. She also did a cover of Reminise ‘Ponmile’ to get some attention which she did but in 2018, she might not really get the desired attention in her music career.
· Flavour : One of the sexiest Male artiste we have in Nigeria, no doubt, he is talented, has great stage performance, has the looks everyone wants to see but the music just doesn’t fit him anymore. There was a time In 2016/2017 where he had all the attention but in 2018 he might not get the attention at all
NOTE : This is not to discourage the artiste on the list, it is to encourage them to do more to save their musical career
