- A Nigerian show promoter and music executive, Paul Okoye, also known as Oga Paulo, has dished out a word of advice to Afrobeats artists
- The father-of-two shared his thoughts about the happenings in the industry via his Instagram story
- As stated by him, "2024 is going to be a tough year" for artists beyond the C class as the global economy is not favourable
Nigerian music executive, Paul Okoye, also known as Oga Paulo, has tendered heartfelt advice to Nigerian artists of the Afrobeats genre.
There have been numerous complaints from fans about the hike in concert ticket prices. This has made it difficult for shows to sell out, as music lovers cannot afford to watch their favourites perform at the expense of their finances.
Paulo admonished Nigerian artists to stop over-pricing themselves so that they could have successful and sold-out shows.
He exempted Burna Boy and Davido but noted that 2024 would be a tough year for Afrobeats artists who do not belong in the A, B, or C class.

His counsel follows the existing feud amongst some Afrobeats artists, who have been dragging themselves on social media.
