Appearing on the latest episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, the “Dragon Anthem” singer accused top female artistes of failing to uplift their emerging colleagues.
Candy Bleakz refrained from naming specific individuals but pointed out that no established female artiste in Nigeria can claim to have helped another female artiste rise through the ranks.
“There’s no female artiste in Nigeria right now that you can say has helped bring out another female artiste,” she said in part during the podcast.
