Unplug With Stone Oreye

In this explosive episode of Unplugged With Stone Oreye, host Stone Oreye sits down with veteran music executive Big Feez for an unfiltered deep-dive into the realities of the Nigerian entertainment industry. From why raw talent is no longer enough to survive and the dark side of record label exploitation to the fierce debates surrounding the "Big 3" (Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy), Asake's meteoric rise, and the wild realities of Lagos nightlife and dating culture, this conversation holds nothing back. He explains why talent alone no longer gets artists signed, how desperation leads to bad record deals, and why labels take the bigger share. The conversation covers Asake’s exit from Olamide’s label, whether it was a mistake, and how artists stay relevant without constantly dropping music.Big Feez also weighs in on the Davido, Wizkid and Burna Boy dynamic — who closes shows, who relies on drama, and where Burna actually sits. Other topics include Portable’s branding, why Afrobeats feels like it’s shifting, Lagos nightlife, and hard truths about dating, money and relevance in the industry.⏱️ Chapter Timestamps0:00 - Introduction: The Shifting Reality of the Entertainment Industry 1:15 - Talent is Not Enough: Why Artists Must Sponsor Themselves 3:30 - Desperation Deals: Why Artists Sign Bad Record Contracts 5:30 - Asake’s Rise and the Impact of Leaving Olamide’s YBNL 7:30 - Wizkid, Davido, & Burna Boy: Examining the "Big 3" Dynamics 11:15 - Is Afrobeats Dying?
