Reekado Banks Hints at Industry Saboteur, Promises Explosive Revelation

Nigerian singer Reekado Banks has sparked curiosity and speculation after hinting at a major revelation about someone within the entertainment industry whom he described as either \"absolutely clueless or plain demonic.\"


The former Mavin Records artist made this statement in a cryptic post shared on his social media, suggesting that certain figures in the industry are responsible for the downfall of many budding talents.


His post read, \"One day, I\'ll take an interview to talk about someone in the corners of the entertainment industry, who\'s either absolutely CLUELESS or plain DEMONIC. Somehow, the brightest budding talents fall in their lap, and either through cluelessness or pure demonic activities, they agree to policies that effectively slow these talents down, and for some other talents, frustrate them out of pursuing their dreams. One day ...\"


The post, which has since gone viral, has led to widespread speculation among fans and industry insiders, with many wondering who the singer was referring to.


Reekado Banks, whose real name is Ayoleyi Hanniel Solomon, is known for his smooth vocals and hit songs like Katapot, Oluwa Ni, and Easy (Jeje). He gained prominence under Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records before leaving to establish his own path in the industry.


His words have ignited discussions about the challenges faced by emerging artists and the unseen forces that may hinder their progress. Many fans have taken to social media to express their thoughts, with some urging the singer to name names and expose the alleged saboteur.


\"Reekado should just say it with his chest. No need for cryptic messages. If someone is messing with talents, we need to know who,\" a Twitter user commented.


Another wrote, \"This industry is deep. Many artists never blow because of evil hands blocking them. Reekado might just be confirming what we already suspect.\"


While Reekado Banks has not provided further details or identified anyone specifically, his statement has fueled long-standing rumors about power struggles and gatekeeping within the Nigerian music industry.


It is not uncommon for artists to speak about behind-the-scenes dealings that affect their careers, with many suggesting that certain executives, managers, or even fellow artists deliberately stifle talent to maintain control over the industry.


Some fans have speculated that Reekado’s statement might be tied to his own experiences, especially after his exit from Mavin Records. His departure from the label was reportedly amicable, but like many artists who leave major labels, he may have encountered challenges in establishing his independent career.


Others believe he might be referring to powerful executives who hold influence over radio airplay, streaming numbers, and brand endorsements—factors that can either make or break an artist\'s career.


The Nigerian music industry, like many others globally, has been plagued with allegations of exploitation, unfair contracts, and manipulation. Many artists have come forward over the years to reveal how their careers were derailed by individuals in positions of power who either mismanaged them or deliberately blocked their progress.


For instance, artists like Kizz Daniel and Iyanya have publicly spoken about contractual disputes and managerial issues that affected their growth at different points in their careers.


Reekado Banks’ decision to use words like \"demonic\" suggests that he believes the actions of this unnamed individual go beyond mere incompetence, hinting at something more sinister.


While some industry insiders have dismissed such claims in the past as conspiracy theories, others argue that there is truth to them.


A former artist manager, who chose to remain anonymous, weighed in on the matter, stating, \"This is not new. Many artists find themselves trapped in contracts they don’t fully understand. Some are manipulated into deals that benefit only the label or the manager. And yes, in some cases, there are spiritual undertones to these things. The industry is not as clean as people think.\"


As Reekado Banks’ post continues to generate reactions, many are waiting to see if he will follow through with his promise to grant an interview and provide more details.


Some music analysts believe that if he does decide to speak out, it could shake the industry and expose practices that have long been hidden from the public eye.


However, others caution that making such accusations publicly could have consequences, including potential legal battles or industry backlash.


Regardless of how things unfold, Reekado Banks has once again sparked an important conversation about the challenges faced by rising artists in Nigeria.


With his talent and experience in the industry, many believe his voice carries weight and could lead to necessary reforms if backed by solid evidence.


For now, fans and industry watchers can only wait and see if the singer will eventually reveal the identity of the person he claims is sabotaging young talents.


Until then, his message serves as a stark reminder that while the Nigerian music industry has produced global superstars, there are still hidden battles that many artists must fight to achieve success.
