Magixx, a popular Nigerian singer whose real name is Alexander Adelabu, has spoken out about the difficulties and pressures that come with being a celebrity, including the strain of meeting public expectations and the stress of constantly juggling his music career and personal life.
During a recent chat with Chude Jideonwo, Magixx, an artist signed to Mavin Records, revealed that the demands of his music career and the constant need to meet the high expectations of his fans and the public have put him under so much pressure.
He lamented that he couldn’t repeat the same cloth because of public expectations.
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 clothe. 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 clothes to wear everyday. Normal people don’t think about those things.
“It’s a lot of pressure on artists but people from outside don’t see that.”
