Following the ban of his hit song, Tesojue, rising rap act, Reminisce,
has advised the management of the Nigerian Broadcasting Commission to
release guidelines to lyrics and images to be aired before banning
songs.
Speaking
for the first time on the ban of his song, the recording music act
noted that though the ban has little or no effect on his career, NBC
should see the artistes' plight before banning songs or music videos.
In his words, “I
think NBC should try to hire people that understand the industry
because abroad, they also have these laws but once the radio version is
clean, they do not disturb the artistes. They should create a screening
board that would check our works and inform us of the ones they feel are
not for public consumption.
''It
is not fair that they make us go through the process of creating a hit
song, and shooting the video with millions and they later tell us the
song is banned. What have they been doing since? They should consider us
too because we spend a lot of money putting these works together. As
for me, it has minimal effects but I am sure that there are a lot of
people out there that it really affects,' he told The Punch.
Speaking further, Reminisce said, 'The
ban on my song, Tesojue, actually makes little or no difference. The
song was released last year and it enjoyed airplay towards the end of
last year and early this year. I am not someone who often goes to a
radio station with my songs, so the effect is very minimal.
'Although
it is very disappointing, it has little or no effect on my career or
creative flow...But whenever I submit my songs to radio stations, I make
sure they are clean. For those that are not clean, I make sure I
re-record them and edit the vulgar part for public consumption on the
radio,' the Local Rapper disclosed.
