Comedian and Television Personality, Akunyota Akpobome, popularly known as Alibaba, has noted that aspiring artistes get involved in occultism before getting deals from record labels.
In a discussion on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Friday, Alibaba claimed that these traditions are just one of many things that cause young artists to be beguiled.
He urged upcoming artistes to maintain that their purpose and strive on the qualities they were trained with.
Alibaba’s comment is coming in connection to the public discontent over the alleged abuse and maltreatment suffered by late Nigerian singer Mohbad.
“For me, there are some things that you would not want to do, and you must stick with it. It is the same thing with some of these artists some of them do rituals now.
“As an artiste, you must define your purpose, you must hold on to some strong values you’ve been brought up with.
“If you are someone who is in a position with your creative abilities, you don’t need that kind of pressure. You don’t need somebody making you sign or take an oath for you to be creative.”
He further explained that there is a strong desire to become famous and successful that is displacing some artistes core values.
“People just want to blow; they want to be seen, they want to be heard, they want to make money, they want to belong. And because of that, they step back from the values they have been brought up with and do what they shouldn’t do.”
