My people, wetin dey happen for this 2025 wey MTV go lock some of dem music channels?

Na wah oh! MTV wey don dey groove since di 80s, na im now dem go pack dem bags? BBC don report say for UK, dem go close di last 24-hour music channels. E be like say na confirm say di jam wey we dey chop no be wetin dem dey serve again.

Music video na like di king for entertainment, e dey shine for anywhere wey people dey jam. But if we look am well, na YouTube dey reign supreme now. For di last few years, na wetin we dey see. Artists dey drop videos for TikTok, Instagram, and all dis online space, while MTV dey struggle collect relevance.

Saul Austerlitz wey sabi plenty about music video history don talk say music video don dey exist since before MTV even carry am come. Omo, e no be today dis story start, as e don get history wey reach back to di Beatles time. Dem don dey produce short videos before dem know wetin dem dey do.

Once you mention video, na Michael Jackson and e “Thriller” video go enter our head first. Na wetin quench di racial bias wey dey against Black artists for MTV. Na him come break di wall, so after dat, dem no fit carry di music video without dem. As dem carry in di “Billie Jean” and “Beat It”, all eyes dey on MTV!

But as we dey talk dis year, e be like dem dey squeeze video inside di internet. Big artists still dey make banger videos while indie bands dey use dem creativity shine. Na so dem dey hustle, but dem small-small artists no dey find plenty cash to show dem skills like before again.

Some people go still dey remember di mega hits wey come from MTV era, like Nirvana and dem. Dem don change di game for how video suppose be. Na so e take happen, dey blend rock, hip-hop, and R&B together. MTV don turn from music space to reality TV. E don dey dry for proper music since before.

As we dey end 2025, e be like say di future of music video still bright as fans get freedom to discover wetin dem like for online. No more waiting for MTV playlist wey dey restrict us to dem favorites alone. Dis new day na for di fans and we dey see plenty artistry dey happen, from high budget to low budget creativity.

Shey you fit imagine? Who sabi wetin go happen next? As di music industry dey evolve, so video go still dey shine!
