Nigerian musician Ric Hassani has stated that most popular songs in Nigeria are not good music.

 

He stated this during a recent interview.

 

According to him, the quality of Afrobeats music has dropped drastically over the years.

 

He noted that the hit songs of years back were quality music but the current hit songs are “not very good music”.

 

Hassani featured recently on Channels TV programme, Rubbin’ Minds with Ebuka.

 

He said, “Afrobeats is Nigerian music. Our guys are top 10 and I feel like because of that the quality of music might stop dropping because more people want to get in. So the quality is really dropping.

“Back in the days, hit songs were serious music but now almost anybody is just coming in. Most of the hit songs in Nigeria now are not very good music. Back in the days it wasn’t like this. I feel like because we have been number one for so long, everybody is just dropping whatever they like and throwing money behind it.”
