In the recent time OAPs has been heavily criticized of not supporting upcoming artists with airplay, while some others even goes far of collecting money from them.
Popular On-Air Personality and radio presenter with Beat FM Lagos, Damilola Elebe, took to social media to defend OAPs against upcoming artists criticizing them for not supporting Nigerian Music.
She even goes further by saying that a lot of Nigerian music, the lyrics make you cry. I blame the listeners too.
Check out series of tweet she tweeted out.
I am tired of musicians bashing OAPS about playing music. You know those you deal with. Specifically face them.

A lot of the people getting into music are not passionate about it. They are passionate about fame and money. Music seems easy.

Even the uncle that is talking about OAPS how many great songs have you released. Let us stop this please.

Like OAPS hold the destiny of your song. If your song is crap, no matter how many OAPS play it, those who have ears will hear.

Don’t pay an OAP. If you want to be appreciative after their support that’s all on you. It’s not by force.
