Nigerian artist Alexander Adelabu, also known as Magixx, has shared his experience dealing with the challenges of fame.
During a conversation with Chude Jideonwo, the singer revealed that his hectic schedule as a singer along with the pressure of meeting public expectations takes a toll on him.
He expressed his frustration over not being able to repeat outfits due to the expectations from his fans and followers.
Magixx said:
“There’s a path to every great person’s destiny. And in figuring out the path, I learned that you’ve got to go through this… I was dealing with public acceptance, family issues, accepting where I am at to improve myself, and still meeting public demands.
“It’s a whole lot. You’re still the songwriter, you’re still the person who’s going to show up for video call, you’re still the person who’s going to pick your family’s call. You’re still the person who has a love interest, you’re still the person who’s going to fly out every weekend outside Lagos to perform for people. It’s a lot but people don’t even know. People don’t know that I can’t repeat the same cloth. For instance, this is the last time you will see the outfit I’m currently wearing on social media. I’ve to think about the cloth to wear everyday. Normal people don’t think about those things.
“It’s a lot of pressure on artistes but people from outside don’t see that.”
