Veteran Afrobeat singer, Alariwo of
Africa has lamented about the attitude
of new generation artists.
The broadcaster also said many of
them are not passionate for the music
but that what they are after is money.
Alariwo stated this while featuring in
an Instagram live chat show tagged
#Gatekeeperseries with Nigerian
rapper Weird Mc and Singer Bunmi
Sanya-Farayola.
“I like this concept of celebrating
people that have been there before.
We have paid our dues and we are no
fools, so we need to be celebrated and
not tolerated,” Alariwo said.
“I go to where I am celebrated, we
need to be celebrated, we have paid
our dues. We were doing it for the
love, not the monetary gain, I
remember back then how much were
we collecting for a show? We were
doing it for the love, we were doing it
for the passion”.
He added: “I remember back then
when a lot of people were saying who
is Alariwo of Africa? Only three
people stood by me, Weird Mc, Bunmi
and Ricka T. So we should appreciate
and give God the glory that we are
still here, relevant and we are still
everywhere.”
He also mentioned that new
generation musicians do not respect
elders.
