Music industry in hands of 2 'mafias': Sonu Nigam
Actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death prompted Sonu Nigam to open up about the "cruel" machinations of the music industry in a new video blog
Actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death prompted Sonu Nigam to open up about the "cruel" machinations of the music industry in a new video blog.
The 46-year-singer shared his vlog with a troubling caption, "You might soon hear about suicides in the music industry", in which he called out the "mafias" of the music industry, two of them in particular, without taking names.
"Sushant Singh Rajput died, an actor died. Tomorrow, you can hear the same about a singer, or a composer, or a lyrics writer. Because the music scenario in our country... there are bigger 'mafias' here that in the film industry, unfortunately," said Mr Nigam.
"The power rests in the hands of two of them... just two from the music industry. They own companies. They have the power to make someone sing or not sing," he added.
In the comments section on Sonu Nigam's video, several followers said that the music labels which the singer talked about are probably T-Series, Zee Music Company and even YRF Music, according to NDTV report.
"Everybody wants to 'rule' the business," said Sonu Nigam, who repeatedly requested to the alleged "music mafias" to be kind and considerate towards new talent with messages such as these addressed to them: "Don't do this! This is not right", "You will be questioned", "Be a little kind please, to the newcomers."
