Right now, surviving in Nigeria feels like a full-time job. Prices keep rising—food, transport, rent, even data—while incomes stay the same. People are struggling, and the silence from those in power is deafening.

In this episode of The Artiste Hangout Podcast, we tap into the #30DayRantChallenge, breaking down what’s really happening and why artistes can’t afford to stay silent. You’ll hear Nina Simone’s powerful words on the duty of an artist, the raw frustration from ItsBobby’s viral rant, and even some comic relief from Shakelizy—because let’s be real, if we don’t laugh, we might just break.

This is more than a conversation—it’s a reality check.
