Nigerian hip-hop artist Sodiq Abubakar Yusuf, known as CDQ, has expressed disapproval of the recent trend where show promoters publicly criticize artists for their expensive performance fees.
The 'Nowo E Soke' crooner suggests that rather than calling out artists for their booking fees, promoters should consider booking underground artists whose rates align with their budget.
CDQ argued that many A-list artists invested significantly in their careers to attain their current status, justifying their higher fees for performances.

Speaking in a recent interview with Cool FM Nigeria, Lagos, CDQ said, “A lot of artists know how much they’ve invested in the craft before they could get to that level that they are today; before they start charging high for shows. So, I believe promoters shouldn’t be calling artists out for charging too much.
“As a promoter, if you can’t afford a particular artist because of the pricey booking fee, leave him and go for who you can afford.”
He urged show promoters to collaborate to be able to afford pricey artists for their concerts.
