Slimcase argued that the frequent releases are making the genre boring, advising artists to take a break and focus on other creative pursuits. He cited Rihanna as an example, suggesting that artists should pace themselves and deliver quality content rather than churning out multiple projects in a short span.
He wrote: “Too many songs, too many albums. Una too dey put una self for pressure for this Niger sha. Take a chill pill and be like Rihanna. Do other things and come back give us a fresh vibe.
“Your sounds are getting boring cus dem be coming too much in a year. I owe dem a song this year and that’s it. It’s only God that is new every morning. Everyday every second singles and albums dey kiii Afrobeats gradually — it’s not fun anymore.”
