Popular Nigerian singer Korede Bello on Thursday, September 22, shared his thoughts on the challenges of maintaining mental wellness in the entertainment industry, especially when an artist chooses to stand out positively.
In a post on his X platform account, the singer noted that it can be challenging to maintain one’s sanity in the industry, and even more difficult when taking a clean approach.
He, however, emphasised the importance of supporting and encouraging artists with positive words to help them remain healthy.
He said,
“People don’t understand how hard it is to stay sane in a seemingly crazy industry. It’s even harder when you choose to stay clean. So if you want to help an artist stay alive, contribute to their mental health, support them while they’re still here with whatever you have, even if all you have are your kind words. You may not love their art, but you can choose to love the soul of the artist in the human being.”
Bello made this statement amid the numerous reactions that followed the sudden and controversial death of fast-rising singer MohBad.
