Mavin’s last born, Korede Bello has expressed his utter dissatisfaction with the labeling ‘upcoming artiste’. Bello who is not new to the industry had been doing the toil till it paid off last year whenhe got activated to the Supreme Mavin Dynastbb y the leader of their pack, Don Jazzy. Since then he has experienced a significant growth having featured on songs like Dorobucci and Adaobi as well as releasing his singles African Princess, Cold Outside and God-Win especially that stirred a frenzy on the airwaves.
Bello was recently with a rep of The Nation, anh he had this to say.
"When somebody goes to school and is in primary one, will you call the person upcoming student Or when you just get a job in the bank will you be called an upcoming banker? But for me I will say
people are entitled to whatever title they choost to give artistes, but it depends on the artiste; ‘how you see yourself.’ I see myself as a musician, I see myself as a mega super star and that is all that matters. I will advise artistes not to go along with that upcoming title because you might just remain upcoming forever. So you had better see yourself as a musician and a servant to humanity. Is there upcoming pastor? If there is
none, why upcoming artiste?”
I’m of the opinion that he’s made his point but
he most of all, should understand the context
being referred to when it is used.
You see yourself as a mega super star in ur mind.... Don't be deceived Korede, it goes without saying that pride comes before a fall. You can tag ur self any name but in reality, Korede is an upcoming and doing well! If not for don jazzy, I'm sure u will still be singing to urself by now and begging for slots. Be humble and let ur fans call u a mega super star wen u eventually become one.
