    Tolanibaj to artists: Transition into business when your music becomes outdated

    Reality TV star and Disc Jockey, Tolanibaj, has advised artists to embrace evolution by shifting into business ventures or becoming music executives once their music style starts to feel outdated. 

    In a recent video, Tolanibaj emphasised that veteran artists should leverage their legacy to mentor and support emerging talents instead of releasing subpar music that could tarnish their reputation.

    She cited Don Jazzy and Olamide as good examples of stars who have successfully transitioned, urging artists to recognise the right time to step aside and protect the integrity of their brand.

    Tolanibaj said, “Why do Nigerian artists not know when to evolve or transition into business. If your sound no longer resonates with your fans or audience or is outdated, go into business. If you have built an amazing legacy, why do you constantly allow disrespect by being compared to the new generation of artists? What’s wrong with becoming a music executive where you shine light on new generation artists and become a boss? Don Jazzy and Olamide are perfect examples of what OG artists need to embody. Stop allowing yourself to be disrespected. A lot of artists are on this table. There’s no shame in retiring. Stop dropping nonsense music to water down your brand, especially if your catalogue in the past is A1”.
