Wande Coal and Odumodublvck have caught the attention of fans online with their honest advice to upcoming artists. Both musicians shared strong warnings about the harsh side of the music business, especially the financial risks involved.

Wande Coal took to X (formerly Twitter) to speak his mind. He asked, “Are you sure you really want to do this music business? You must be very sure oooo.” His message highlights the challenges new artists face. While music may seem exciting, the reality is often full of hard work, stress, and money struggles.

Rapper Odumodublvck added his voice with an even stronger warning. “Dear upcoming artist, if you know your music is not ripe, stay away from an advance. You do not want to be owing an organisation so much money. You will die a debtor,” he said.

Many young artists rush into signing deals because they want fast success. But Odumodublvck reminded them that an advance is not free money. It’s a loan. If their music doesn’t sell, they may end up deep in debt and tied to a contract they can’t escape.

Instead, he advised new talents to be patient. He told them to focus on improving their music before chasing big deals. Growing slowly, building a loyal fanbase, and learning the business side of music can help them avoid painful mistakes.

Wande Coal and Odumodublvck are both respected in the Nigerian music scene. Their advice comes from experience. For upcoming artists, their words are a serious reminder: talent is not enough. To survive and succeed in music, you need knowledge, planning, and the ability to wait for the right moment.
