Nigerian musician Onoyom Mbuk, also known as Iyanya, has said that many of his colleagues in the music industry are depressed despite appearing happy on social media.
The ‘Kukere’ singer reportedly said this in a conversation with well-known media figure Chude Jideonwo.
He said:
“We [artists] don’t share this [vulnerable] part of our lives. That is why so many people are frustrated not knowing that another person is going through something worse than theirs.
A lot of musicians are depressed. A whole lot. The people who you see out there making you feel like things are good, they are the ones going through the worst things. So, they try to make you feel like they are right. People are going through a lot. So, you have to be vulnerable with your experiences”
