Reekado Banks Warns Young Artists About ‘Demonic’ Music Executive
Nigerian singer and songwriter Reekado Banks has issued a strong warning to upcoming artists, urging them to be cautious of certain individuals in the music industry who exploit talent for personal gain. In a recent revelation, the “Easy (Jeje)” crooner referred to one such figure as a “demonic” music executive, describing the person as manipulative and damaging to the careers and lives of young creatives.
Reekado Banks, who rose to fame under Mavin Records, didn’t name the executive but made it clear that his warning comes from personal experience and observation. He stressed the importance of artists knowing their worth, reading contracts thoroughly, and not getting swept away by flashy promises.
“Some of these people don’t care about your growth or your mental health,” Reekado said. “They present themselves as mentors or saviors, but their intentions are far from pure. Young artists need to be vigilant. Not every label deal is a blessing.”
His comments have sparked discussions across social media, with fans and insiders praising him for speaking out on an issue that many within the industry quietly endure. Many believe his bold stance could help shed light on the darker side of the music business, where exploitation, manipulation, and emotional abuse are often hidden behind success stories.
Reekado Banks also advised upcoming talents to seek legal counsel before signing any agreement and surround themselves with people who genuinely care about their artistry and growth.
As more artists begin to speak out about their experiences, Reekado’s warning serves as a powerful reminder that while the music industry offers fame and fortune, it also holds traps for those unprepared.
