Oyogist has learned that Nigerian singer and songwriter, Timi Dakolo has warned upcoming artistes that “fame is a poison.”
According to him;
“Pride will make you be in the same place, and others will pass you. Fame is a poison that can destroy you in a flash if you don’t do the right things,”
‘To upcoming artistes, do you want to be here a long time or be here for the applause and be famously broke?
”The ‘Great Nation’ crooner said this during an interactive session at The Bridge Church in Abuja.
He added, “Singing in church is a seed but don’t limit yourself to just knowing how to sing, how to make sounds, but you have to bring something different.
“Do not ignore the practical part of it by rehearsing even if it’s your profession. You must put in rehearsals because it will show during the performance.”
He advised the artistes not to judge themselves, urging them to “start today because you can’t judge yourself now with someone else’s past experiences.”
