According to Nigerian rapper Reminisce, money now determines a popular song more so than quality music.

Reminisce, who appeared on the “I Said What I Said” podcast, claimed that the majority of popular songs these days rely more on massive budgets than on musical merit.

The game has now entered a new phase, he stated. the stage where purchasing hits is now necessary.

“Today, money creates hits rather than music. Right now, that is the stage we are in. Find out how much the marketing budget was for the music you see [popping]. That is what establishes a song’s popularity. It’s more than simply music now.
