Do You Agree ? Here Are The Top 10 Nigerian
Musicians That Have Lost Their Musical Touch

Unarguably the Nigerian music industry is
west Africa’s biggest depot of young/old
talented, creative, successful and wealthy
musical artist that have taking the art of
singing music beyond the shores of West
Africa and Africa as whole.
That being said, some of this successful artist
still have their career blazing high above the
skies while some have gotten their career
blown away by foxy waves of dementia. On
this write-up, we bring you the Top 10
Nigerian Musical Artists we think have gotten
their careers dead either by their too much
show body or lack of releasing hit songs or
lack of following the latest music trends.

10. Ice prince.
No doubt this Nigerian rapper can arguably
still be classified as an A-list art not
withstanding his inability of releasing new
songs after his old hit songs faded away.
After releasing one of Nigerian biggest hits of
2016 titled “Molowo Noni” which he
collaborated with Tekno, ice Prince has gone
missing in the music industry…
We haven’t heard any new song from him,
maybe because no new bubbling artist is
willing to allow him feature them is his song
in other to revive his dead career or maybe
because his village people have finally tabled
his matter, and decided unanimously to
imprison his career.

9. Iyanya
Not too long ago this artist was one of the
biggest thing in the Nigerian music industry.
After winning the popular Mtn project fame
competition in 2008, Iyanya’s career was
elevated above the roofs and was further
more elevated above the skies with his then
Hit song Titled “Kukere” The Kukere song was
everywhere… Radios, clubs, parties and even
in some Governmental dinners (When GEJ was
president) Iyanya’s career seemed like it will
never get to a point where it will crash like a
computer system…
His current status in the Nigerian Musical
industry surprises us a lot… We’re yet to
decode the source of his current decline in
progress. However, we suspect his decline in
progress started after he started eating that
forbiddable fruit from Ghana that have
almost left him bankrupt.
Talking about bankruptcy, we believe Iyanya
currently is really really out of cash which is
why he signed up in Don Jazzy’s musical label
(Mavin’s record) Though his career is already
dead, we still believe Iyanya will be able to
resurrect it if he puts in more efforts… We
can still see that lightening energy in him.

8. Di’ja
Who do we have on our list? It’s Dija of
course! Mavin’s 2nd lady after Tiwa Savage….
This Lady is the first female on our list…. Its
really surprising she has to find herself
here…. Well she’s here because she hasn’t
been putting much effort in her career.
We believe 70% of Nigerian doesn’t know any
of her hit singles… The songs she did with Glo
as one of their ambassador is even more
popular than all her singles… Personally, we
don’t know up 5 of her songs… Her career was
a bit elevated when she collaborated with
Patoranking in the hit song “Falling for you”
Ever since madam is nowhere to be found…
We’re forced to believe she’s quit music to
take care of her baby since she’s now a
mom… We just hope when she’s back in the
studious she wouldn’t find her career lying
totally dead and buried with condolence
flowers on the grave.

6. Skales.
One would never forget to put Skales in the
list of musicians who are trying too hard but
no results… Talking about people who don’t
know their real talent skales comes to mind.
Though God blessed him with one mistake hit
song which didn’t last for up to 6 months, we
can still boldly conclude that skales career is
dead for now….
All the songs he released of recent made no
significant success, he’s trying too hard, we
feel he’s currently depressed from too much
work.
If you’re a music blogger you’ll notice Skales
have released more singles than Wizkid and
Davido combined but only one is well known
which is “Shake Body” since the “Shake Body”
success all the tracks he releases can be
compared to BlackBerry new devices…. No one
buys them anymore…. This only means one
thing, it means our guys career has kicked
the bucket.

5. Dprince
One wouldn’t be far from the truth Calling
Dprince a musician who got fame due to his
brother’s influence in the music industry.
Over the years, we’ve waited and waited for
Dprince to prove to us he isn’t just popular
because of his brother’s influence, but
because of his hard work and perseverance in
the very competitive music industry…. We’ve
waited for him to prove to us he deserves the
A-list standard and treatment he enjoys in
the Mavin dynasty but he always fails.
The only notable thing we think he’s done in
the music industry is releasing a one hit
wonder ‘Miss-Hit’ hit song titled “Oga
Titus” which we think he paid songwriters to
deliver for him so as not to totally get his
career buried and sent to the deepest part of
musical hell by the foxy breeze of dementia….
We’re forced to believe his career is dead
and will take a very strong miracle to
resurrect.

4. Omawumi.
Being the second lady on our list an one of
the female musicians in Nigeria with really
good vocals, one would ponder why Omawumi’s
songs doesn’t get much buzz in Africa or in
Nigeria.
As sad as it may sound, We’re forced to
conclude that this ladies career is dead and
buried in the Nigerian musical industry since
its very evident she’s would not be anywhere
to be found in Nigeria’s Top 50 hottest Acts as
of now assuming someone decides to come up
with a list.
She doesn’t follow trends, she allowed new
acts bury her… The adverts she did with Glo
and the Collabo she did in Dagrin’s tribute
song are considered a bigger hit than her
entire singles and Albums (if she had any)

3. 9ice
Really sad 9ice had to make this list. I was
Personally one of his biggest fans during his
rainy days…. I could remember perfectly all
the lines in one of his hit song titled ”Gongo
Aso “, That song was like the biggest thing as
of then, it was more popular amongs the
South Westerners.
However, we can perfectly trace his mishap or
decline in progress in his musical career after
his failed marriage.
He went missing for a while before coming
back to the industry, he made some couple of
failed Collaboration before releasing his
current singles.
Though its clearly evident that Mr 9ice career
is dead, we’re not certainly sure if it’s buried
or nay. He’s really really working hard this
days to get back to his formal position. We’ve
seen couple of his new singles in My TV Africa
which we believe is progress….. We advice he
keeps trying hard in other not to get his
career totally buried by the gods of music.

2. Duncan Mighty
As one of the hottest act we had back in the
days. His career was high above the clouds,
anything he said made waves around the
country, Still can remember one popular line
in his song “Mercy Johnson nearly touch my
rod” that made waves across the country….
Fans were contemplating among themselves if
the musician really had a secret romance
with the A-list NollyWood actress. Well as
they say, Time changes everything…
Time in this case changed my guys Career
from Bubbling to stumbling…. We can
comfortably say this musician has lost his
place in the Nigerian music industry… His new
songs no longer makes sense…. Nigerian have
gone beyond that… We’re now selective of the
type of noise we celebrate which I think is
progress.

1. Black face.
During the days, Blackface a member of the
plantation boys Trio which included legends
like 2face and perhaps Faze was one of the
big things in the industry. Things started
getting bad and worst for him after his music
clique as of then broke up and decided to
each go solo…
Blackface however, surprised us back then
with one hit song titled “Erimma” which was
his first and last hit song since he became a
single artist. Blackface claims one of his best
song which would’ve become one of the biggest
ever green song in Africa was stolen by his
then musical partner 2face.
We’re really forced to debunk this fact since
blackface haven’t provided us with enough
evidence to backup his claims. I mean, if he
really insist his song was stolen, why not drag
the culprit to court and lay your evidence?
Ever since this incidence of theft, blackface
have being struggling with his career, we
follow him on Instagram so we know what
were talking about…
Blackface have released couple of songs which
we believe only like 100 people out of
Nigeria’s 170million population listened to.
He’s being trying really hard to make waves
in the industry not knowing the unfortunate
has happened… His career is long dead, the
music industry have left him behind,
Nigerians no longer Gbadu his sounds and
beats, even his mode of dressing in like that
of the 80’s.
Recently he tried the blackhat strategy…
Blackhat strategy here simply means trying to
play victim so that people might pity you and
perhaps support you or stand on your side. He
tried using the incidence of thievery that
happened between him and 2face idibia to
get the sympathy of Nigerians and probably
cunningly revived his long assassinated
career.
The strategy didn’t work! Nigerians are way
smarter, we know a really hard working
musician if we see one…. Its best Blackface
start up something new since its way way
obvious his career is long dead, killed,
assassinated and buried by the gods of
music!
