“Things got so bad for me in 2021 that I couldn’t get booked for any show that December” — Iyanya
Don’t get it twisted here, let me break it down. When I said December came and there was no show, it is not that people do not reach out, but nobody is willing to give what you’re worth. They are bullying you and because you know your worth and believe in yourself you can’t take that. Instead of taking it you just let it go. That’s what I meant.
It was crazy and depressing at that moment. You know, you gonna feel it and react to it one way or the other. You are going to transfer aggression. You will act like you are not mad but you are really mad, but having people around to give the positive energy is all you need. So, don’t go where there’s no love. Times like that the difference between you and another guy is that where there’s love you will be assured of a comeback but where there’s no love they would say, “He don be for you na, go dey do farming now”.
That support you get is like light to the plant and as a creative and famous person, you can’t do without it. So many times, the love won’t come wrapped in a fancy bag, it’s going to be tough. You will think these people don’t like you, but if you can manage your ego, you will see that they want the best for you.
