Nigerian rapper, Reminisce, has revealed that money is now responsible for hits song, not the quality of the music.

Reminsce made this claim during a recent appearance on the ‘I Said What I Said’ podcast. The rapper stated that the majority of hit songs these days are down to the marketing budget and not the quality of the music.

In addition, Reminisce noted that the music industry is now in another phase, which is largely influenced by money and not good music.

Reminsce said:
“The game has now changed to another phase. The phase where you now have to spend money to get hits.

Money now produces hits not music anymore. That’s the phase we are in now. Whatever song you see [popping], go ask what the marketing budget was. That’s what determines how big a song is. It’s no longer just music anymore.”
