Nigerian singer and songwriter, Simi, has said that she does not have any friends in the entertainment industry, attributing this to her personality and her difficulty with networking.

Speaking in a recent interview with VJ Adams, Simi stated that despite her passion for music, she often feels her personality is not well-suited for the industry she finds herself in.

“I’m really bad at that and I always say that I think I have the wrong personality for the industry I have the passion for,” she said.

She explained that her decision to pursue music is based solely on her love for it, even though there are other interests and skills she possesses.

“I’m only doing music because I like music and there are many things that I like and know how to do, but I feel like my personality is not compatible,” she said.

Simi described herself as someone who finds it difficult to build connections, especially within professional circles.

“I’m really not good at networking and I don’t know how to engage like that,” she admitted.

She added that even the conversation she was having with VJ Adams was unusual for her, pointing out that such rapport is not common in her interactions with people in the media.

“The rapport I even have with you I don’t have with many people in the media,” she said.

According to the singer, social interaction does not come naturally to her, and she often has to make extra effort to meet industry expectations.

“These things don’t come to me naturally so I have to be extra at it,” she said.

In an interview with Hip TV, Erigga noted that every year, some of his colleagues leave the music industry due to various circumstances.

However, he said he can’t quit because music is his life.

The rapper emphasised that his passion for music supersedes the financial and social benefits.

“Every year, people leave music for real-life issues. But I can’t stop. Music is life. It’s what keeps me going. Take the business and everything out of it, it’s more of a passion. I can’t disappoint my fans,” Erigga said.

Afrobeats singer, Tiwa Savage has denied allegations of sabotaging other female artists in the music industry.

She challenged those accusing her of sabotaging her colleagues to mention their sources and come forward with evidence.

Recall that a few years ago Kenyan singer, Victoria Kimani, accused Tiwa Savage of indirectly blocking her from performing at several shows.

Reacting in a recent episode of the Offair Show, Tiwa Savage explained that she was being wrongly accused of sabotaging the chances of other female artistes to get bookings, claiming that show promoters could be lying to other artists using her name.

“If you’ve heard from anybody that I tried to block your bag, mention names. Maybe the promoters are lying and using me, maybe they don’t want to book three, four girls. So, they claim I am the one blocking others,” Savage said.
