Afrobeats singer Oluwatosin Ajibade, popularly known as Mr Eazi, has said that at the beginning of his music career, it was less stressful to organise shows in Europe and the United States than across African countries.
He made this known on Friday while speaking at the 2026 Africa Prosperity Dialogue themed “Empowering SMEs, Women and Youth in Africa’s Single Market: Innovate, Collaborate, Trade,” as reported by Joy News.
The artiste reflected on his decade-long journey in both entertainment and entrepreneurship.
“Speaking as a young entrepreneur and creative, the biggest problem we faced in Africa is friction, in the last ten years, I have spent six of those years as a singer touring the world and four of those years doing a lot of entrepreneurship. Two things stand out to me,” he said.
According to him, moving between African countries for performances came with more obstacles than touring Western nations during his early breakthrough period.
