Nigerian rapper Classiq has opened up on the long-standing challenges he has faced in earning royalties from his music, describing the experience as one of the most difficult moments of his career.
In a statement released through the management of Arewa Mafia, the rapper revealed that he has been battling serious issues behind the scenes for a long time, struggles he says he can no longer handle alone.
Classiq explained that despite dedicating over a decade to music, pouring in his time, energy, and creativity, he has not received meaningful digital or financial returns from his works.
The situation, according to the statement, has taken a heavy emotional toll on him, noting that the pain of working without reward has been silent but deeply felt over the years.
Beyond personal losses, the rapper disclosed that the challenges have affected his brand as a company, leading to lost resources, missed opportunities, and damaged trust.
He also hinted at repeated setbacks and sabotage, stating that efforts put in over the years have often failed to yield results, weakening the bond between the artist and his fanbase.
At what appears to be a breaking point, the statement emphasized a firm resolve to address the issues head-on, declaring that enough is now enough.
Classiq further revealed that matters worsened when all his streaming platforms were compromised, leaving him and his team without access to his digital music accounts.
In response, his management announced the creation of a new official YouTube channel as an alternative platform to ensure that his musical journey continues.
The statement ended with a call for support from fans, urging them to subscribe, share the message, and stand by the rapper as he works to rebuild and protect his legacy.
