Nigerian rapper Christopher Dankyes, popularly known as Kriss Killz has stirred up debate in the entertainment industry openly expressing regret for encouraging fellow creatives to join the Performing Musician Employers’ Association of Nigeria (PMAN), Plateau State Chapter.
The artist said the association has provided “no real support” to musicians despite positioning itself as the official body protecting their interests. According to him, many young creatives who trusted PMAN have gained nothing in return.
Kriss Killz further accused the Plateau chapter of being driven by political interests rather than focusing on the growth and welfare of artists. He described the structure as an organization captured by individuals using it for personal influence instead of community impact.
He didn’t hold back, labeling the union a “scam” and distancing himself from what he calls a union “in name only.” His comments quickly sparked discussions across the Plateau creative space.
Reactions have since poured in, both in support of and against his claims.
Gospel rapper Benjamin FirstCrown Pam backed Kriss Killz’s position, questioning whether PMAN has ever had a meaningful impact on artists in the state. According to him, “Was there any legacy of PMAN helping any creative in Plateau from the onset? Every single artist doing great in the past and present is solidly organic.”
On the other hand, creative entrepreneur Hyella Michael dismissed the accusation, insisting the singer may simply be frustrated for not getting what he wanted. In her words, “This guy na scam for himself. Maybe he didn’t get what he want and he is regret. That’s what regret cause. Let him watch the transformation in dew time.”
The sharp divide in public opinion has added fresh pressure on PMAN Plateau to clarify its mission, reconnect with artists, and address concerns over credibility and relevance.
