Odumodublvck, a controversial rapper, asserted that Tems and Ayra Starr have contributed more to the Nigerian music scene than Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and Afrobeats megastars Burna Boy and Wizkid.
Being a successful female artist is the hardest job in the world, in his opinion. Odumodublvck was mentioned in a recent Madame Joyce-hosted podcast called "Cocktails & Takeaways."
"I was traveling to London on the same flight as Don Awon, Tems' manager," he remarked. Big ups, you did it, Tems, I told him. The combined efforts of you and Ayra Starr surpass the accomplishments of Wizkid, Burna Boy, and even Fela. Anywhere you quote me, please. As a female artist, you should know that five out of ten show promoters, five out of ten producers, and five out of ten artists you look up to and depend on for support want to have sex with you. I couldn't fathom being in that circumstance. And you still produce quality music despite avoiding all of those things. Recall that being a woman is the hardest job in the world. With over 100 million artists worldwide, being an artist is the second hardest job in the world. With dozens of songs released every day, how will you stand out from the crowd? Why ought they to pay attention to yours?
It's not as though you work for a job where your compensation is assured. There is never a guarantee of remuneration for artists; you have to produce their work to get paid. My first cheque that was in good order took me roughly six years. Imagine, then, that you may succeed while being both a hottie and an artist. That is quite remarkable. The albums "The Year I Turned 21" by Ayra Starr and "Born In The Wild" by Tems were just released.
Born in the Wild, which peaked at number 56, became the highest-peaking album by a female Nigerian singer, while The Year I Turned 21 became the first album by a female Nigerian artist to debut on the US Billboard 200.
