In the wake of actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death, singer Sonu Nigam had posted videos in which he called out the ‘mafia’ in the Indian music industry. Echoing similar thoughts, singer Adnan Sami said that the Indian music industry needs a ‘herculean shakeup’.
“The Indian Film & Music Industry SERIOUSLY needs a ‘Herculean‘ SHAKE UP. Especially in the context of music, New Singers, Veteran Singers, Music Composers & Music Producers – who are being exploited to the HILT!! “Fall into the DICTAT or you’re OUT”… Why is creativity beyond “CONTROLLED” by those you have no clue about ‘creativity’ & are trying to play GOD?? (sic)” Sami wrote in his latest social media post.
He slammed remixes and remakes, and asked for more creative space to be given to talented artistes.
Adnan Sami further wrote, “Have you, the Movie & Music ‘Mafia’ who have arrogantly entitled yourselves as the ‘self-professed & self-appointed gods‘ not learned anything from history that you can NEVER control art & the ecosystem of creativity of any field? ENOUGH!! MOVE OVER!! “CHANGE” is here & it’s knocking on your door!! Ready or Not, it‘s coming in! Brace yourselves! (sic)”
“You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time!!,” Sami concluded, quoting Abraham Lincoln.
Earlier this week, Sonu had revealed in his vlog that only two music companies control the music industry in the country.
He also opened about how young singers, composers and writers were being exploited.
“Today, Sushant Singh Rajput, an actor has died. Tomorrow you can hear the same about any singer, music composer or lyricist because there’s a bigger mafia that exists in the music scene in India. I understand there’s business involved and people want to rule. I was lucky to debut at a young age and hence was able to escape this mess. But it’s a difficult scenario for the new kids,” Sonu said in his vlog.
