Top Nigerian rapper, Reminisce, has stated that money has taken the place of good music in determining a hit song.

He said this while at the ‘I Said What I Said’ podcast.

According to Reminisce, a lot of hit songs nowadays depend on huge budgets, not the quality of the music.

He stated: “The game has now changed to another phase. The phase where you now have to spend money to get hits.

“Money now produces hits not music anymore. That’s the phase we are in now.

"Whatever song you see [popping], go ask what the marketing budget was.

"That’s what determines how big a song is. It’s no longer just music anymore.”
