Popular Nigerian rapper, Erigga, has stirred major conversations online with his bold take on celebrity culture and the music industry.

 

 

 

In a tweet that’s now making rounds across X (formerly Twitter), Erigga wrote:

 

 

 

“Celebrities were never icons… it was an illusion.

When you see talented singers everywhere, you notice they weren’t that rare, just the ones the music industry could manipulate…”

 

 

 

The statement has since triggered mixed reactions, with many users agreeing that fame doesn’t always equal greatness, while others feel Erigga’s tweet was too dismissive of the impact some stars have had.
