Nigerian Artistes Who Were Once Superstars But Are Now Upcoming Artistes by Youngherry(m): 7:23pm On Jul 20, 2018 |
Several artistes exist in the entertainment industry who were once superstars but due to them not releasing hit singles, they became passive and the influx of artistes into the industry these days made them redundant. 1. Durella Self-styled King of Zanga, Durella was known back then as a duplicate of D’banj due to the similarity in their voice. Durella was well popular then in the street and made major waves with songs like “In The Zanga“, “Shayo” and even had a collaboration with the starboy, Wizkid on the song “Go Gaga“. How Durella went down is one of the seven wonders of the world. Label problems, management problems, that he had to decamp from his label, Iconic Music to Dbanj’s franchise, DB records. Also had problems with Dbanj who was accused of stealing his song, Blame it on the money. Well, Durella has tried all comeback efforts but it seems the gates to the entertainment industry is currently closed.

2. Sean Tizzle Who remembers Sho Le back then in 2013. Apparently after Iyanya, D’tunes was looking for an upcoming artiste with potential. He saw Sean Tizzle who was signed to Sound Sultan‘s Naija Ninjas. He signed Sean Tizzle to Difference Entertainment and Sho Le, their first product was an instant hit. Sean tizzle went on to win Next Rated that year dusting off Dammy Krane The Thief and Burna Boy who went home crying and also D’tunes won Producer of the year. Slowly, we began to see Sean Tizzle decline. But 2013-2014 was his peak year. But what happened to him? His is a mystery as well. The thing about the industry is every year, new artistes keep flooding in replacing the tired ones who are stagnant and have nothing new to offer. 1 Share

3. D’Prince Probably the only thing we know about D’prince is that he’s related by blood to Don Jazzy. Was there any time D’prince gave us a hit single? Oh the wack songs that got promoted and received airplay. Give It To Me, his most decent single till date was nominated for Headies Award 2011 and was one of the best songs that time. The problem with D’prince is he still hasn’t discovered his sound and genre. His songwriters/ghostwriters are wack. Who remembers his Banana song, where he sang Banana up to 50times?? He needs to be kicked out from the Supreme Mavin Dynasty. 3 Likes 1 Share

4. Ice Prince Ice Prince’s case is worrisome and yet pitiful. How the heir to M.I‘s throne lost it is just unimaginable. Back then in 2011, Ice Prince was on Fire, From Oleku to Superstar, he was giving us back to back. Going on shows overseas and also meeting the foreign artistes. In 2014, Ice Prince met with Jay-Z, the first Nigerian Artiste to ever meet with the Hip-Hop Legend, we thought something was in the works, like a collaboration or Ice Prince was to be signed to Roc Nation, nothing happened. Tiwa Savage got signed instead. Ever since then, Ice Prince has been a shadow of himself. His girlfriend issue, Maima really affected him a lot. There was a time someone tweeted:- “You can blow and unblow and go back to an upcoming artiste, ask Ice Prince”. Up till now, Ice Prince still slugs it out with Dremo and Ichaba in the relegation zone. 1 Like 1 Share

5. Iyanya From singing the biggest song in 2012, Kukere to singing Iyanu Mashele. Truly village people have started following Iyanya. We started noticing Iyanya’s decline in 2014 when all songs released were trash and label mate, Tekno started to overtake him in the craft. Iyanya thought it was his label that was the problem, he pitched tent with Don Jazzy‘s Mavin Records, released an EP that was only downloaded by his friends and family. Iyanya has really gone down and it would truly require a miracle to revive his music career. The thing about the industry is about being relevant and also the ability to evolve. Last year we had the “pon pon sound” and now it’s the wobey and shaku shaku sound. “Industry competition is at an all-time high, and to stand still, is to fall behind!” You can add yours Sources: https://www.aprokonaija.com.ng/2018/03/nigerian-artistes-who-were-once.html#ixzz5Lowj1oHP 3 Likes 2 Shares

How about Dbanj? My Yoruba brothers won't agree to this but when last did he release a Banga? Dbanj was so big before until he went international... Seems he went to Europe like my Edo brothers via Sahara desert things 5 Likes

Youngherry:I really like your compilations and its similar to what I wrote sometimes ago on my wall here on nairaland. Check this out..........,................ The world is a stage in which no superstars stays forever. Everybody have it own time, and once your time is gone,you become a man of yesterday. In the world era we have seen superstars come and go. Some left indelible memories in our hearts that we cannot forget in many years to come. While many were just flash in a pan(they fizzled before arriving). This compilation was done not to insults or make anybody(celeb) feels less important but to educates and jog our brains a little. 1) LORD OF AJASA v DAGRIN Lord of Ajasa happens to be the hottest yoruba-rapper during his time in the showbiz. But immediately DAGRIN came into town,Lord of Ajasa's star was overshadowed by this beautiful-rhyme specialist..... Though we didn't enjoy Dagrin to the fullest due to his early demise.RIP DAGRIN 2). RUGGED MAN/MODE 9 v MI ABAGA Before M.I emerged, there was supremacy battle between Mode 9 and Ruggedy Baba on who can rap best. But immediately M.I hit the airwaves all the other rappers remained under his shadow. The chairman himself schooled them on how to weave supersonic lyrics into ear-friendly symphonies. So who is his successor now ? 3) ASA made sure we didn't miss YINKA DAVIS . Where is Yinka Davis now ? 4) TIWA SAVAGE shew MOCHEDA & NIYOLA the door . 5) WESTLIFE booted the BACKSTREET BOYS out of the hood with their soul-steering songs that can make a monk fall in love. Though westlife are no more together again as a group. 6) DELE TAIWO v SIR SHINA PETERS Dele Taiwo almost sent Sir Shina Peters to early retirement through his high-octave juju music. 7) 50 CENT v JARULE 50CENT made sure JARULE didn't have a lasting career in rap business. Both fought dirty to outwit each other either by their punch lines or gangstars gun battles. We are happy to have both of them alive and breathing. RIP to Biggie and 2pac. to be continue later...... peace 2 Likes 1 Share |

Op, you're being too harsh with your criticism oo. Apart from Duella, none of the folks you mentioned deserve to be on this list. Going by your standard, it means once the limelight is gone an artist in back to square. If so, peeps like 2face, dbanj, psquare, m.i and co. would top your list. But I didn't see you mention any of them. Those folks on your list are veteran artist not upcoming art. More like Nas, snoop Dogg, Jay z... |

The industry is dynamic not static. Everyday we see new kids on the block. All those guys gave us hits during their prime we respect them for that. Music Industry is not like politics where a 76 years old will still be running the game . Fresh faces needs to take over. 1 Like |

Since Dbanj left the then MO'HIT nothing reasonable has been heard from him there are somethings one shouldn't alter. I think D'banj would have realised the difference between money and fame! I sure hope the death of his son is not to renew the later PSQUARE that should have retired as legends are behaving like kids who have not learn how to separate their personal lives from business! They can try as much as they can but if it is not panadol, it can never be panadol! 2 Likes |
