“Depending On Talent For Money When It’s Not Yet Rosy, Can Be Frustrating”- Erica Says As Rapper Eva Alordiah Shares Her Sad Experience
Erica Nlewedim has reacted after former popular female rapper, Eva Alordiah has revealed how she was very broke and depressed even while her songs were played on major radio stations.
According to Eva, who is currently a digital creator/tutor, she has been able to make millions within a short time aside doing music.
In a series of tweet, Eva Alordiah wrote:
“You’ll never understand what it feels like for me to be able to say —“I know how to earn money without needing to be a music artiste”
“To have a business that pays me without stress, to know that I can always get paid— to feel valuable and worthy.. You’ll never understand”
“3 years ago I was broke, depressed and pissed off with my existence. I stood in front of my mirror one day and broke down crying.
I felt like I was living a lie —I no longer knew who I was & I was going through one of the most painful Ego deaths I had ever experienced..”
“Now, Within 9 months I had earned almost N17,000,000 on IG without stress — in the middle of that win, one mosquito asked me to come perform at a show for N100,000
You’ll never know the Joy I felt when I said, “No thank you,” and hung up the phone without remorse.
It’s freedom!!
It’s nice to know that I can still record music when I want, how I want, ‘If’ I want. To have been dependent on my music for survival was also to throw away my Love for the Art.
Today I’m learning how to Rap again, how to listen to music, how to enjoy it without pressure”
Reacting to her story, Erica stated that sometimes depending on your talent for money especially when it’s not all rosy takes away the love and the art from it.
