Ent.Gist : 5 Nigerian Music Superstars Who Have Downgraded To Upcoming Artistes

With this post we will just reflect on some very prominent Nigerian artistes who went from being superstars in every sense of the word to becoming upcoming. Seriously upcoming!

Being famous is one thing, staying famous is quite a daunting task. Nigerian music has witnessed a lot of very bright and talented artistes come and go, while some have held tenaciously to the reins of fame and have not let go since.

Whether the artistes here mentioned like it or not, it is a sad reality that they have lost the sauce that kept them high up there.

One of the reasons they are now described as upcoming is because the don’t catch our attention any longer. Two; it’s been a long while since they had a hit song either as a featured artiste or an individual effort.

Can you imagine an artiste who you couldn’t wait to download his/her next track but at the moment you’re unlooking their new efforts.

Here are 5 artistes who went from being superstars to upcoming artistes:

1. ICE PRINCE
Once upon a time ‘Everybody loved Ice Prince’ but at the moment fans have grown cold on the ‘Aboki’ crooner. Ice Prince has been the center of jokes and ridicule on social media with a lot of folks bluntly referring to him as an upcoming artiste in spite of his achievements. Ice Prince’s decline may have actually begun when he released his ‘Trash Can EP’. Damn,  it was trash no puns intended
2. EVA ALORDIAH

 When last did the once very promising female rapper Eva Alordiah make headlines? One time it was her proposal at the 2015 Headies Awards next was her breakup from her fiance. That has been her highlight in the past 2 – 3 years. Her overly postponed debut album ‘1960’ when finally released went unnoticed. She lost her sauce way too early.
3. IYANYA
