Nigerian street-hop sensation Slimcase has issued a candid message to Afrobeats artists, urging them to reduce the volume of songs and albums they release. In a recent statement on social media, Slimcase expressed concern that the constant stream of new music is gradually making the Afrobeats genre lose its charm and originality.
Slimcase highlighted the pressure many artists face to consistently deliver new content, often at the expense of creativity and quality. Drawing a parallel with international superstar Rihanna, he suggested that musicians should take breaks, explore other creative ventures, and return with fresh, innovative sounds that rekindle audience excitement.
“Too many songs, too many albums. Una too dey put una self for pressure for this Niger sha. Take a chill pill and be like Rihanna,” Slimcase wrote. He added that the daily flood of singles and albums is diluting the unique vibe Afrobeats once had, making it less fun for both artists and fans.
The veteran performer also admitted he himself contributed minimally to new releases this year, owing to his commitment to maintaining quality and artistic integrity. His remarks have sparked discussions across social media platforms, with many fans resonating with the call for a more mindful creative process within the upbeat music scene.
Slimcase’s advice serves as a reminder for Afrobeats artists to prioritize innovation and authenticity, potentially signaling a shift toward more thoughtful and impactful music production in the Nigerian and global music industry.
