Afrobeats rising star and Mavin Records signee, Magixx, has shared powerful insights about the realities of making it in the music industry, stating that fear of public embarrassment is a major roadblock for many aspiring artists.
During a recent appearance on Hip TV’s Trending, the singer debunked the popular belief that natural talent alone is enough to achieve success.
“If you’re scared of being embarrassed, you’re not ready for success,” Magixx said. “People like to claim there are more talented individuals in the streets than on stage but if the talent was that obvious, it wouldn’t stay hidden. Many simply don’t manage their opportunities well.”
Magixx further emphasized that success is never a product of mere luck. “Anyone winning right now is doing so because they put in the effort and showed up consistently. God doesn’t make mistakes,” he added.
The singer’s remarks have resonated with many fans online, sparking conversations about self-doubt, missed opportunities, and the hard truths of navigating the entertainment space.
In other news, A Nigerian man has taken to social media to voice his deep frustration over the harsh economic conditions in the country, following a concerning remark from the Vice Chancellor of Redeemer’s University about students not getting enough to eat.
The man, identified by his handle @Adheydayor on X (formerly Twitter), recounted a virtual meeting held between the university’s Vice Chancellor and parents or guardians, during which the VC reportedly stated that many students were struggling with hunger on campus.
“Bruh, Nigeria is so bad that you should cry,” he wrote in a now-viral post.
“My sister is in Redeemer’s University. The VC hosted a call with parents/guardians and told them that their kids are hungry, they don’t feed well. Do you understand how bad it must be for a VC to bring this up as an issue?”
He explained that the situation left him deeply saddened, especially as parents on the call also expressed their frustrations over the rising cost of food and general living expenses.
“I am not joking. I was so sad after the call. The parents on the call kept complaining about how the economy is bad and campus food is too expensive,” he said.
He further questioned how students are supposed to cope if even expensive campus meals are no longer sufficient.
“Were they not feeding well on the expensive campus food before? The parents are helpless too,” he lamented.
