Singer Ikechukwu Eric Ahiauzu a.k.a Ric Hassani has lamented the failing quality of Afrobeats songs in Nigeria.
Ric Hassani who bared his mind during an interview on ‘Rubbing Minds’ with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu stated that over the years the quality of songs have kept on dropping because artists spend no time in writing a good song, but come out with whatever they like and throw money at it. “Afrobeats is Nigerian music. Our guys are top 10 and I feel like because of that the quality of music might stop dropping because more people want to get in. So the quality is really dropping.
“Back in the days, hit songs were serious music but now almost anybody is just coming in. Most of the hit songs in Nigeria now are not very good music. Back in the day, it wasn’t like this. I feel like because we have been number one for so long, everybody is just dropping whatever they like and throwing money behind it.”
