Nigerian rapper, Jahbless is certain that Five Star Music artiste, Skibii Mayana’s death rumour was a publicity stunt by himself and his team. He does not blame them however for going that route but has instead blamed Nigerian on-air personalities for not supporting upcoming artistes.
Jahbless wrote a straight-from-the-heart piece on Instagram about the entire episode:
“Contrary to what every body thinks, skibii made a stupid publicity stunt faking his own death , no doubt .. but some times when you look at what all these upcoming artistes go through , you won’t blame them for getting too desperate.
Looking at this from another angle, I’m sure this guy must have begged some of our so called celebrities , OAPs , seeking their support, asking them to play , repost or retweet his songs, but being the so called proud for nothing people that we are , we never supported him. Not just about skibii, but for every upcoming artiste out there , many of us ignore them like who gives a f.ck…, It’s quite embarrassing and depressing the kind of love we show to the dead . I noticed the moment skibii died ..everybody started posting his pictures ..”RIP my gee” , … reposting his songs sending out condolence messages to five star records , his followers increased tremendously, lol, are they expecting hin to post pictures from hell ? , but before then skibii had released songs seeking your support and your so called instagram followers were so precious to you that you couldn’t share his songs on your page, the same R.I.P you posted was what he has been seeking while he was alive. That 3 minutes 30 seconds to premier his song on your programme. You would rather play chris Brown or Rihanna who doesn’t even know you exist, crazy world yeah ! same thing happened to the late dagrin, dagrin became a mega super star after his death, (RIP akogun) I remembered cd John, great comedian who was on the verge to rise and you never supported their hustle, but you made them super stars after life.
@skibii .. good or bad PR, now it all boils down on how 5 star can utilize the buzz. I think this is the best time for you to release your best song and do a super video for it. disregard people who thought you killed your career. I believe you’re just getting started son! Keep the fire burning .
moral of the story , Appreciate people when they are alive , show love and support to your loved ones, give some helping hands to the upcoming ..cos it’s of no use to them once they pass!
OloriEbi.”
