Afrobeats artiste Mr Real has expressed concern over what he describes as the insensitive behaviour of fellow musicians and fans who continue to release music and patronise nightlife despite rising insecurity in Nigeria.
In a recent video shared online, the “Legbegbe” singer criticised artists for carrying on with music releases as though nothing is wrong, noting that the worsening situation in the country has made it difficult for him to put out new songs.
According to him, the current state of the nation has affected his mindset, leaving him hesitant to release music while troubling events continue to unfold.
