Busola Oke, a gospel singer, has disclosed that she is struggling financially and is thinking about leaving the music business because of increasing pressure.
In a recent live TikTok session, the singer broke down in tears as she openly discussed the difficulties of making a living off of evangelical music.
Oke revealed that loneliness, melancholy, dissatisfaction, and financial difficulties were the causes of her emotional breakdown in a different interview with Biola Bayo that was posted on Instagram on Wednesday.
She also revealed that she hasn’t owned a car since 2020 and is currently having financial difficulties paying off bills, underscoring the financial realities that many independent musicians deal with even when they are well-known.
Read her words below;
“I cried on my live video because I was lonely, depressed, frustrated, and hungry. I didn’t ask for help from people because that is not who I am. I kept quiet about my situation since 2020 because I didn’t want people to pity or mock me. I know a lot of people, but nobody helped me. At a point, I couldn’t pay my house rent again, which was N1 million, and I was struggling to eat.
“Right now, I have no car, and I owe a lot of people. The last time I had a car was in 2020. I need to pay my debts. I struggle to pay for the hotel I stay at now. I need shelter and a car, even if it is a jalopy. The money I am supposed to use for food, I use it to take Uber around.”
