The Nigerian music industry is undoubtedly one of the fastest-growing in the world, producing global superstars and chart-topping hits that resonate far beyond the continent. Yet, behind the glitz and glamour lies a dark reality that continues to plague many artists—a cycle of exploitative contracts that rob them of their creativity, autonomy, and, in many cases, financial stability.

The arrival of a new life is always a reason for joy, and I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Deborah Paul Enenche on the birth of her baby boy! This milestone is as unique as the woman herself, and it’s inspiring to witness how gracefully she navigated this chapter of her life.

Instead, she revealed those precious moments only after safely delivering her baby—a thoughtful decision that speaks to her wisdom and sense of priority. In today’s oversharing culture, it’s refreshing to see someone protect their journey with such intentionality.

If I’m being honest, Deborah, you looked absolutely radiant while pregnant. That special glow made your beauty shine even brighter. And, of course, your…
