Popular singer, Magixx, shares his personal struggles with the pressures of fame, as he reveals he doesn’t repeat the same cloth.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the Mavin Records artist revealed that the demands of his music career and meeting the public’s expectations weigh heavily on him.
He expressed frustration that he feels forced to constantly change his appearance, unable to wear the same outfit twice due to the scrutiny of the public eye.
Magixx elaborated on the numerous challenges he faces, stating:
“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.”
Despite the immense pressures, Magixx remains committed to his craft and continues to navigate the complex landscape of fame, striving to balance his personal life with the demands of his career.
He further added that the constant need to maintain a fresh image for the public eye adds to the already significant stress he faces as an artist.
