Popular Nigerian rapper Erigga has ignited a fiery debate on social media with a bold take questioning the very essence of celebrity status in the entertainment world.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the outspoken rapper wrote:

“Celebrities were never icons… it was an illusion.
When you see talented singers everywhere, you notice they weren’t that rare, just the ones the music industry could manipulate…”

The post quickly went viral, drawing thousands of reactions and splitting fans into opposing camps.

Some users echoed Erigga’s sentiments, arguing that the music industry has long manufactured fame by promoting artists who fit its agenda. “He’s not lying. The system is designed to make us believe only a few deserve the spotlight,” one fan commented.

However, others defended their favorite stars, claiming true icons exist. “Some icons changed lives and inspired generations. You can’t dismiss that,” a user fired back.

Known for his raw, unapologetic commentary on Nigerian society, Erigga once again stirred the pot—challenging what many accept as truth in the world of fame and music.

Is he just being real, or is this another case of tearing down success?
