“You’re not relevant if I’ve never interviewed you – Moet Abebe says

Media personality Moet Abebe has said she has interviewed nearly every major Nigerian artist during what she describes as a defining period for the country’s entertainment industry

Speaking in a recent conversation, she said her work as an interviewer between 2010 and 2020 placed her in contact with most of the leading figures in the music scene at the time.

“There is no artiste in Nigeria that I have not interviewed, apart from maybe in recent times. But those people from 2010 to 2020, there is no single artiste. If you have not been interviewed by Moet Abebe and you were reigning between 2010 and 2020, my dear, you were not doing well enough. That is what I am going to say because I have interviewed everybody, at least everybody that matters,” she said.

She added that the period covered a time when Nigerian music was expanding rapidly, with Afrobeats gaining stronger international visibility and media interviews playing a key role in artist promotion. Between 2010 and 2020, several Nigerian artists rose to prominence locally and globally, with radio and television interviews serving as a major platform for public engagement.
