Nigerian singer Korede Bello discusses his departure from Mavins Records in a Hip TV interview. He reveals that his exit was motivated by the need for personal growth and self-reflection, highlighting the pressures artists face in the industry that can distract them from their true passions.
In a recent interview with Hip TV, Nigerian singer Korede Bello opened up about his departure from Mavins Records, a label he joined in 2014. He revealed that his exit in 2021 was primarily motivated by a desire for personal growth and self-reflection.
Bello, known for his hit song "Godwin," expressed that he reached a point in his career where he felt more like a product designed to generate profits for the label rather than an artist. "I was at a season in my life where I needed to metamorphose, to explore my inner worth, and understand my purpose," he stated.
The artist emphasized the pressure in the music industry to continually produce hits and maintain relevance, which can often lead artists to lose sight of their true passions and values. He remarked, "You lose sight of what matters when you chase after the next hit or whatever can get you into conversations. Many artists become addicted to that cycle."
Bello's reflections highlight the challenges faced by many musicians as they navigate the demands of the industry. His journey toward self-discovery and understanding underscores the importance of reconnecting with one’s artistic vision, urging others in the industry to prioritize personal fulfillment over commercial success.
