'Music is not for me' Nigerian Popular Singer Waje Laments

A video currently making rounds on social media shows one of Nigeria’s finest female singers making the revelation that she intends to hang her boots in the music industry due to the poor reception of her latest body of work.

In a deeply emotional 12 minutes clip that surfaced on popular video streaming platform, YouTube, awarding-winning singer Waje was captured on camera in a vulnerable state as she poured out her mind about her career as a singer

The clip had open with a series of screenshots of social media users baring their mind on the worrisome state of acceptance of Nigerian artistes that have pitched their tents in the corridors of soul music.

 Waje had also come up in the exchange after a user blamed the poor reception of her latest album Red Velvet on misogyny.

Some other users however, watered down the argument and argued that if the singer’s album did not do well, it was entirely by her doing, and a lack of proper promotion and publicity by her team.

The following scene in the video shows the singer in a heated phone argument with some members of her team identified as Fatima and Tolani.

In a heartbroken tone, she made it known that she was tired of pumping money into music when it was not yielding as much profits in return.

Waje continued by saying her belief in music was already taunted and she no longer had any faith in what she was doing. She said music was not the only thing she was good at and maybe it is long due for her to explore other opportunities.
