Nigerian Female Artists Absent in JosPlay Rise Fund, Sparking Concern
Concern arises as Nigerian female artists largely shun the JosPlay Rise Fund initiative, which aims to support independent musicians. The contest recently concluded without any Nigerian female musician being featured, despite efforts to promote gender diversity in the music industry.
Only a few female artists applied for the fund, highlighting the need for more inclusivity and support for women in the music sector. JosPlay plans to establish a separate fund specifically for female artists to encourage their participation and success in future initiatives.
