Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Music producer and CEO of Lynx Entertainment, Richie Mensah, has refuted claims of a so-called “Lynx curse,” stating that the challenges faced by artistes after leaving the label are rooted in the demanding nature of the music industry, not any supernatural jinx.
Speaking in an interview on Hitz FM, Mensah explained that maintaining success in the music business requires significant investment, effort, and a strong support system of resources that are not always readily available to artistes once they leave the label.
“The music business is hard. Lynx Group has over 60 employees, and even for us, it’s difficult. People see the results and think it’s easy, but it takes a lot of brainstorming, work, and investment to keep us where we are. When an artiste leaves that setup and is on their own, it becomes challenging. It’s not a curse; it’s just the reality of the industry,” Mensah stated.
He further emphasized that some artistes who have left Lynx Entertainment have gone on to achieve success in the creative arts industry. However, sustaining that success often proves difficult without the extensive infrastructure and team support provided by the label.
“Artistes have left Lynx and done well. But maintaining that level is tough because if you initially had 60 people working on your project and suddenly you’re on your own, the input and output drop drastically. Sometimes, we need to stop judging success in isolation and understand the dynamics at play,” Mensah added.
Lynx Entertainment has been home to several high-profile artistes over the years, including Kuami Eugene, Dope Nation, and MzVee, all of whom have since departed the label. Currently, the record label manages Kidi, DJ Vyrusky, and DSL under a 360-degree deal.
Mensah’s comments aim to dispel the myth surrounding the “Lynx curse” while shedding light on the realities of the music industry, where success often hinges on consistent investment, teamwork, and strategic planning.
