Veteran entertainer and activist, Charly Boy, has called on musicians and other public figures to use their platforms to address societal issues, insisting that entertainers have a responsibility to reflect the realities of the communities they serve.
Speaking ahead of the July 2026 release of his memoir, ‘999’, Charly Boy argued that many celebrities possess greater influence than politicians and should not shy away from speaking on issues affecting ordinary Nigerians.
According to him, artistes can play a significant role in shaping public discourse through their music and public engagements.
“They can do more. They have larger platforms than politicians. It won’t hurt them to speak up or make music that reflects reality,” he said.
The entertainer expressed concern about the state of the nation, particularly the growing insecurity across the country. He warned that the situation could worsen if urgent steps are not taken to address the underlying problems.
