According to an exclusive interview with Pulse, The indigenous rapper Reminisce has spoken about the reality rappers face in being creative as opposed to them acknowledging the financial responsibility they have to take.

According to him, creative rappers in Nigeria are not appreciated. "Being dope doesn't cut it here man. Being dope doesn't cut it" he emphasized. Reminisce said that he would sacrifice being dope in order to become a successful rap artist. According to him, being dope and not successful is not practical.

"You can't pay your bills, you cant drive...I have two kids. I know what it is like to pay school fees to send a kid to a proper school. Being dope is not going to pay my kid's school fees. Being dope isn't going to shoot videos for me" he stated.

Reminisce also mentioned that rappers are forced to be profit oriented because the industry structure doesn't necessarily support being creative.
