Tolanibaj, a popular BBNaija reality star and aspiring DJ, has caused quite a stir on social media after sharing her thoughts on the state of the Nigerian music industry.
In a video post, she made it clear that she believes a well-known Nigerian musician should consider retiring, rather than continuing to release what she described as “horrible” music.
In the video, Tolanibaj questioned why many Nigerian artists fail to realize when it’s time to evolve or leave the music scene for good.
She emphasized the importance of making smart career transitions into business once an artist’s music no longer connects with the audience.
Tolanibaj also gave credit to artists like Olamide and Don Jazzy, pointing to them as examples of musicians who have successfully diversified and stayed relevant over time.
She believes that there’s no shame in stepping away from music when it no longer serves an artist, especially when they’ve already built a solid legacy.
“Don’t let your brand suffer by releasing subpar music,” she said, adding that it might be wiser for some artists to retire from music altogether and pursue a new path, such as becoming lifestyle influencers.
Though she did not name the artist in question, Tolanibaj’s comments have led to intense discussions, with fans speculating on who she might be referring to. Many have supported her view, while others have expressed curiosity about her unspoken target.
