Renowned Nigerian producer, Samklef, has resurfaced in the spotlight, reminding the public of his significant contributions to the country’s music industry.
In a tweet that garnered attention, Samklef highlighted his role in discovering and mentoring several notable talents, including Simi, Olamide, and Wizkid.
Despite being overshadowed recently by controversial social media posts, Samklef took to X on Thursday, May 2, 2024, to assert his influence and impact within the industry. He emphasized his instrumental role in shaping the careers of various artists, from Simi to Wizkid, attributing their success in part to his guidance and mentorship.
Samklef’s tweet listed a lineup of artists he claims to have discovered, mentored, or contributed to, including Ric Hassani, Tunde Ednut, Dammy Krane, Flow Sick Phenom, Durela, Vector, D’Prince, and Olamide. He also noted his own accomplishments, citing his humility and silence as factors that may have led to his undervaluation in the industry.
