Nigerian singer, Mayorkun has warned emerging artistes against adopting a mysterious public image like that of his colleague, Wizkid, without first establishing themselves in the music industry.
The singer advised upcoming musicians to focus on building their careers and connecting with fans rather than attempting to imitate the approach of established stars.
According to Mayorkun, “trying to maintain a mysterious image like Wizkid as a newcomer could cause you to fade into obscurity”.
He suggested that upcoming artistes need to make themselves visible and build a solid fan base before considering such an approach.
Wizkid, one of Nigeria’s most prominent Afrobeats stars, is known for maintaining a relatively private lifestyle, with limited public appearances outside music-related activities.
