Popular singer, Paul Okoye has come out to share the strict criteria he has established for signing new artists to his record label, Fire Department Inc.
He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, all his artistes must have a landed property in Nigeria, and any of them caught smoking weed would face a N10 million fine.
He added that these requirements are the reason he still does not now when he’ll sign new artists for his record label.
His words, “Some people just believe say they don big pass record label. So I will tell you my demands now. You go bring landed properties, your parents go sign.
The day I catch you dey smoke one thing as my artiste, minus N10 million. That is why if you continue asking me when I am going to sign artistes I will tell you I do not know.”
