Gbekile David Osemeke is also known as Boy Spyce a talented singer, has scathing remarks for singers that pay influencers to promote their music.
The Mavin act was shown in a video online venting his annoyance with musicians who go over and above to pay social media influencers to promote their music during an interview with Cool FM.
The singer went on to discuss how the act makes you appear unreal and how creativity should be valued in the business.
He added that because the market is too big, performers that engage in such behavior won’t acquire recognition or endure over time.
Bragging about himself in regards to the topic in contention, Boy Spyce said – “I’m confident in myself, I can’t do that”.
Speaking to the host, Spyce said he’s fully aware that his opinion might bruise many shoulders but he doesn’t care as he emphasized “artistes need to stop paying people to tell the world you’re dope, show the world you’re dope”.

They get 5m views, they then buy 2m extra to make it 7m. Even Instagram comments. People buy and extra 30% to make it look like they have a massive engagement. We know the ones who do. It’s part of the business. Even your camp dey run am.”
