Sodiq Yusuf, the Nigerian rapper better known as CDQ, has claimed artistes only get support when they belong to a “particular caucus, gang, or cult” in the music industry.
In a recent interview on Jbrandy Entertainment, the ‘Nowo E
Soke’ hitmaker argued that independent artistes without such connections often
struggle to get a return on their investments.
“The hardest truth about the music industry is that it has
turned into a place where you have to belong to a particular caucus, gang, or
cult before anyone can help you,” the rapper said.
“If you are able to succeed as an independent artist without
any of that, then you should thank God for it. If you don’t belong to any group
or gang, you might end up spending a lot without seeing any return.”
CDQ rose to prominence after releasing his 2015 hit single
‘Nowo E Soke’, which featured Grammy winner Wizkid.
Over the years, he has built a reputation as a prominent
indigenous rapper in Nigeria, known for his distinctive ad-libs, including the
widely recognised ‘Woss Wobi’.
In November 2016, he took another major step in his career
by launching his own record label, N.S.N.S (No Struggle No Success
Entertainment).
