Hip Hop artiste, Banji Oladapo, popularly known as Dbanj, lambasted record label owners in Nigeria, saying they know nothing about music.

Dโ€™banj, who was one of the panellists who discussed the topic, โ€˜Changing The Game: Artistes As Leadersโ€™ at the 2018 Social Media Week Lagos, added that most Nigerian artistes needย a lot of capacity building.

The Eje Nla crooner said,

โ€œMost of the new generation record labels are founded by Yahoo boys. You must understand first, why are you coming into music.

โ€œNigerian artistes need a lot of capacity building. It is only in Nigeria that the owner of a record label doesnโ€™t know anything about music.โ€

Dโ€™banj further revealed that he got into the music business due to fear of poverty.
