Singer Small Doctor has expressed concern over the decline of Fuji music, a popular Yoruba genre.
He believes the genre is “dying” due to a lack of new, rising stars.
Small Doctor, on X, noted that since Remi Aluko’s success in the early 2000s, he hasn’t seen another Fuji artist achieve similar fame.
He called for urgent action to revive the genre.
On his X handle, he wrote, “I stand to be corrected. I feel Fuji music is dying, and something needs to be fixed urgently. After the blowing up of Remi Aluko and the likes in 2001 or 2002, I haven’t heard or seen another Fuji artist blow up.”
Fuji music has a rich history, emerging in the 1960s and boasting legendary artists like K1 De Ultimate, King Saheed Osupa, and Wasiu Alabi Pasuma.
