Solomon Ayoleyi , better known as Reekado Banks , has reacted to reports that all the artistes signed on with Don Jazzy ’s Mavin Records have been struggling to perform at highly -rated shows this year .
He told Sunday Scoop that people could certainly say whatever they like as they didn’ t have access to his bank account .
He stated , “Every artiste should know how to quantify their success.
This year has not ended , but I have made more money than I did last year or the previous year . It is just the perception of some people who think this year has not been good for Reekado.
I ’ ve made more than double of what I made last year .
So , if you think last year was good for Reekado, I can confidently tell you that this year is far better.
“I am sure Tiwa Savage would not say that this year hasn’t been a good one .
She dropped hit songs and she is fully booked for December . I am fully booked for December too and the same thing applies to other artistes under Mavin.
So , I don’ t understand why people are comparing last year with this year .”
For Reekado, as long as he drops good music and gets shows, he is not disturbed by negative comments . He , however , admitted that controversies had made some artistes to be more relevant than others .
“ Controversies , in a way, put you in the public eye. In showbiz , no matter how good you are , the controversial singers get more credit and awards .
But I don’t quantify success with awards ; it is far different from that .”
