Fame Comes With A Lot Of Pressure – KiDi

For some who are not there, they will do anything to become famous. But for those who are there, being famous is a herculean task.

KiDi of ‘Odo’ fame, surely says so as well. He has joined a host of personalities and celebrities who have said fame is not an easy thing.

You suffer to get it and whiles in it too, it’s all pressure form every angle. Of course, as our old folks say, a child belongs to the mother only in the stomach, once born, the society owns him/her.

There’s also the fact that, once famous, you have to deal with the invasion of privacy and scrutiny from people.

Not forgotten that the media also has its eagle eyes on each of your movements and will not hesitate to make you their headline with the least missed step.

The Lynx Entertainment artiste, in a chat with Showbiz on Tuesday revealed that being famous has been tough for him.

“It’s been tough, it is not a walk in the park, everybody wants you to give them attention.

It’s a lot of pressure, everybody demands the right amount of attention,” he said.

That notwithstanding, KiDi, said he is very grateful to his fans for being there for him.

“Without them there is no me, I am very very grateful to them for everything they do for me, listening to my songs and watching my videos, I am really grateful to them,” he said.

He was asked what the magic was that did the trick for him after he emerged winner of music reality show, MTN Hitmakers.

“After Hitmaker I was still in school, I had to finish school and once I was done with it, everything started to fall in place and here we are,” he recalled.

He also disagreed with the perception of many that, the spotlight seems to be on his label mate, Kumi Eugene. Meanwhile, they are three artistes on the Lynx Entertainment record label; Kidi, Kuami Eugene and MzVee.

According to him,“There is nothing like one person getting attention, everybody has their plan and the team has time for everybody.”

He also hinted of his yet-to-be-released song, which he described as ‘deadly’.

“My next song is deadly, I am very excited about it and I can’t wait. I also have a lot of collaborations coming up so my fans should watch out for them,” he said.
