DRUG ABUSE: Femi Kuti Predicts A Sad Future In The Music Industry

Fela Kuti

In a recent interview with Hip TV, son of legendary Afrobeat originator and legend himself, Femi Kuti has weighed in on the topic of artistes venturing into music for the wrong reasons and the drug abuse issue currently being discussed in the industry. Here is an excerpt on the interview:

On people joining the music industry for the wrong reasons, he said;

“We must insist to teach our children music properly or else there will be pandemonium in the industry. Everybody is joining music for the wrong reason. It’s not about the fame. Music is very godly and it’s so important that if it’s not done properly, I fear that we are going to have a very sad future in the industry. So that’s why I keep insisting that young boys and girls should learn a musical instrument.”

On drugs and substance abuse in Nigeria, he said;

“The drugs and alcohol abuse is everywhere, it’s just not Nigeria. The great Europe and America – It’s a big problem there too. But what they do since they know it’s a problem is an institution – they have rehabilitation centers. When you crash, you go into rehab. The only institution we have is Yaba left and it’s not ghen ghen enough. Sensible people will understand there is a problem. How did America/Europe tackle these problems? Even my father’s time, they were on hard drugs. Heroin, cocaine and everything. I don’t know if Nigeria has gotten there but the alchohol is a massive problem. We have to start tackling it now or else we are going to be in big problem.”

The event dedicated the night to honouring the industry’s Pioneers, Pillars, and Players. With this, it created an unforgettable tribute to the heart and soul of Nollywood.

With a dynamic blend of cinematic magic and stunning fashion, the evening showcased the very essence of Nigerian cinema.

Netflix placed the spotlight on three critical groups within Nollywood this year. The Pioneers—those who laid the foundation of Nollywood in its early days—received well-deserved recognition.

Meanwhile, the Pillars, representing the talented off-screen professionals, were celebrated for their essential contributions behind the scenes.

Finally, the Players, Nollywood’s vibrant on-screen talent, were honoured for captivating audiences across the globe.

Adding a touch of official recognition, the Minister of Arts, Culture, Tourism, and Creative Economy, Barr. Hannatu Musa Musawa graced the occasion. Warmly, Netflix’s VP of Content for the Middle East and Africa, Ben Amadasun welcomed him.

Throughout the night, live performances by rising music sensation Victony and the energetic Sharpband electrified the atmosphere, filling the room with vibrant melodies and lively beats.

As the evening progressed, it became clear that this year’s edition of “Lights, Camera…Naija!” was not only a celebration of Nollywood’s creativity.
