Nigerian rapper, Remilekun Khalid Safaru, aka Reminisce, has said that the miusic industry is so crazy that only about five per cent of artistes make it.
He likens it to professional football where it is not every player that becomes a Ronaldo.
As a result, Reminisce adds, he does not want his children to choose music as the primary calling.
During a podcast show with ‘Pulse’, he explains, “The thing is, music is crazy. You can be the most talented person and end up with nothing; it’s like football. I have friends whom I used to play football with, and some of them ended up having professional deals, and I have people who are 43 like me and are still hoping to get something.
“For every Ronaldo you see, there are 9000 people who didn’t make it. Hey, the basics are done first to have something to fall back on in case it doesn’t work out. I’m not going to convince any child to say it’d work out for them because it worked out for me. It may never happen.”
