Nigerian singer Reekado Banks has sparked intense speculation on social media following a cryptic tweet in which he accused an unnamed individual within the entertainment industry of either being "clueless" or "demonic" in handling budding talents.

In his post, the former Mavin Records artist expressed frustration over how some of the industry's brightest stars find themselves under the influence of this figure, only to experience setbacks in their careers. 

According to him, this individual either unknowingly agrees to counterproductive policies or deliberately frustrates young artists, ultimately pushing some out of the industry.

"One day, I’ll take an interview to talk about someone in the corners of the entertainment industry, who’s either absolutely CLUELESS or plain DEMONIC."

"Somehow, the brightest budding talents fall in their lap and either through cluelessness or pure demonic activities, they agree to policies that effectively slow these talents down and for some other talents, frustrate them out of pursuing their dreams. One day…," he wrote.

As speculations swirled about the identity of the individual he was referring to, some social media users suggested it might be Don Jazzy, the Mavin Records boss who once mentored Reekado Banks. 

However, the singer was quick to dismiss those claims, clarifying that he was not talking about Don Jazzy.

"It may not be obvious to you all, but I’m definitely not referring to Baba J 🥴. Ejo lol, pls n thanks. That said, oloriburuku gbaaaa, ni Eni to mo n so yi!" he wrote, using Yoruba slang to insult the person he was addressing.
