He elaborated on the various roles he juggles, saying, “You’re still the songwriter, you’re still the person who’s going to show up for video calls, 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.”
Highlighting the unique challenges celebrities face, Magixx mentioned the pressure to always appear in new outfits. “People don’t know that I can’t repeat the same cloth. 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 cloth to wear every day. Normal people don’t think about those things.”
He concluded by emphasizing the unseen pressures artists endure, stating, “It’s a lot of pressure on artistes but people from outside don’t see that.”
