Comedian and actor, Akunyota Akpobome, popularly known as Alibaba today claimed that aspiring artistes partake in occultic practices prior to getting signed by a record label.
In a television interview, Alibaba said the pressure to be well-known and successful was having dangerous consequences on young and upcoming artists.
His comments come amid growing public outrage over the allegations of abuse suffered by the late 27-year-old singer Ilerioluwa Olademeji, also known as Mohbad, until his demise on September 12.
He made it clear that young artists must ensure that they hold on to their values for the sakes of their lives.
“For me, there are some things that you would not want to do, and you must stick with it. It is the same thing with some of these artists — some of them do rituals now,” said Alibaba.
