Joeboy, the Nigerian singer, is currently experiencing great success with his hit song “Sip (Alcohol)” propelling him to international fame.
However, his journey to stardom wasn’t always smooth. In a recent interview on Cool FM, Joeboy discussed the challenges he faced when he was an up-and-coming artist.
He attributes his success to focusing on himself and creating music that felt genuine, rather than conforming to expectations or trends.
He mentions how, at the beginning of his journey, people doubted he would ever get signed. When asked about his peers from that time, he reveals that most of them have moved on and aren’t making music anymore.
Joeboy reflects on feeling blessed despite the doubts others had about his success. He shares a memorable incident from 2017 when an artist’s manager openly mocked him, not believing he was a musician.
Interestingly, during the shoot for his song “All For You,” the same manager’s artist was a part of the video. Joeboy believes that life often brings you face to face with those who once doubted you.
In essence, Joeboy’s story underscores the importance of being kind to everyone, as karma can bring unexpected reunions with people from your past, whether they believed in you or not.
It’s a reminder that in life, kindness can be a rewarding virtue, and the future is full of surprises. What are your thoughts on Joeboy’s experiences and reflections? Feel free to share your comments.
