A Facebook post featuring a young and upcoming artist who expressed in an interview that he regrets taking money from Burna Boy instead of asking for a verse attracted mixed reactions. Sadly, one particularly harsh comment from Rex Enaruba read, “It will not even happen in the dream because you are rubbish.” This kind of comment not only disrespects the artist’s effort but also undermines the value of persistence and ambition in the creative industry.
Such negative remarks can crush the confidence of emerging talents, who are still learning and growing. Everyone starts somewhere, and dismissing someone’s potential based on their current status overlooks the importance of growth, mentorship, and collaboration in the music industry. Constructive criticism or encouragement would go much further in supporting an artist’s journey than senseless negativity.
