Becoming a superstar in Nigeria is one of the best things that could happen to anyone. Creating good music and putting it out is just the first step into getting famous as a Nigerian artiste. There’s so much more you can do if you really want that attention where you get to trend every fifteen working days. Here are five steps to properly blow as an artist:
Have a curious dress sense
- Pay your wardrobe manager abeg. You can’t really be a top guy if you still think everything is about jeans and white shirt. If you don’t have the body of Justin Skye or Usher, then you should start thinking of getting a very interesting match of clothes. Your own trademark can be yellow; the shiny and annoying type. Call yourself yellow boy and release that album of banger music
Dye your hair blue or loc everything
Going blonde is boring. To get yourself attention, focus on the hair. Get those baby rainbow beads and attach it to your pink locs, or shave off one half of your hair and curl the rest while spraying a lirru bit of purple in the middle. Tell everyone your dead grandmother inspired it.
Fight with your label
If you’re going to do this, don’t forget to tell everyone that your manager stole your glory and gave you garri to drink for 40 days while using you. Make it loud, make it believable.
Snatch your role model’s babe
What better dramatic way to set yourself up to blow than to probably start dating the baby mama of your role model. Take Wizkid for a start and get his baby mama to tweet that you make better music than the whole generation of Afrobeat.
Fake your death
This is the ultimate way to get maximum attention. Extra points if you film your passing into the great abyss. Whatever method you choose, try to make sure your friends aren’t those guys that would throw you in to a shallow grave within two hours of your faking.
