- Reminisce in a recent interview, explained that his early experiences taught him a tough lesson about fame and the music industry.
- He narrated how he learned earlier in his career that he had no friends within the industry.
Nigerian rapper Reminisce recently shared his experiences and insights from navigating the music industry.
In an interview with Naija FM, he emphasized the importance of setting boundaries and being cautious about who to trust.
Reminisce explained that his early experiences taught him that fame can be a double-edged sword, clouding judgment and leading to poor decision-making.
He emphasized that the music industry can be challenging, and it’s essential to recognize that not everyone is a genuine friend.
Reminisce advised aspiring artists to be aware of their surroundings and to be mindful of the people they surround themselves with.
He stressed that it’s normal to have people around when you’re successful, but it’s crucial to determine what you want and to prioritize your own success.
In his words:
“Fame is a drug that gets one high and clouds judgment. One of the things I did in life earlier on was to realise that nobody is my friend.
“That’s probably why many people don’t like me, if someone has worked with me and you find out that we had issues, if you find out what happened, it would probably have been because I made my decision and stood by it. I have learned that at the end of the day, na me go suffer the consequences.
“You know that when it comes to humans, they turn you into an enemy if they aren’t favoured, especially monetarily. It took a while before I became famous and I even had a child beforehand, so the first thing I got to understand is that nobody is your friend, you can be kind and you can assist but the first mistake you can make in this music industry is thinking everyone is your friend. Nobody is your friend.
“We all want the same thing so there is no way you’d think everyone is your friend.
“It is very normal to have people around you when you’re hot and popping and it is your responsibility as a famous person to determine what you want. Not everyone around you wants you to succeed.”
