Music producer Freshy Vibez, known for working with industry heavyweights including Wizkid, has stirred conversation online after describing producers as the true backbone of the Nigerian music industry.
“Make we no lie, producers are the backbone of this music industry”, Freshy Vibez tweeted, a statement that immediately drew mixed reactions from Netizens.
Responding to his claim, a fan identified as @Blazejavu_ argued that Afrobeats owes much of its global rise to the creativity of producers who consistently refine its sound. “If producers no try advance the sauce and taste of our music to global standard, Afrobeats for no too go far the way e dey go”, the user said.
Another user, @lee_fresh17, agreed, calling it “a known fact” that even artists themselves recognize. But there were voices calling for balance.
“Everyone is important. Even some artiste gan na backbone. Real. No argue am. Na two-way thing”, @melvin_vibes commented, suggesting the success of Afrobeats is a shared effort.
Nevertheless, the conversation projects a wider debate about recognition in the music industry, particularly the role of producers who often work behind the scenes but remain central to the global success of Afrobeats.
