Following the spate of failed marriages in the Nigerian entertainment industry,Nigerian singer and music producer said his marriage almost hit the rocks this year.
Samklef who is popular for producing the majority of the hits on Wizkid’s debut album noted that it was God who intervened when is marriage was about to hit the rocks.
The outspoken entertainer said:” Marriage wasn’t meant to be easy. I almost lost mine this year but God intervened. Nobody prays for broken home”.
Nigerian singer and musician, Samklef has stated that people criticized him saying his music career was dead. Samklef who currently has a 2-year deal with Akon’s record label said:” Before I bagged this new deal, people told me to my face that my career was dead. I felt quite disappointed at those people but it got to a time when I stopped having any feeling about that remark. I realized it was not about how people saw me but the perception I had of myself. So far, I have been trying to stay relevant. Consistency is the key.
“Nigerians are so sentimental and they don’t appreciate their own and that is why I pity so many talented people that had reigned in the past. Once you are no longer in the limelight, they forget about you. They do not even think about the good works that you had done”
When asked about new generation Nigerian artistes , he said:”This new generation artistes do not have respect especially when they have ‘blown’. They are quick to forget the people that were there before them. They forget that what they do to others would always come back to haunt them. I don’t ever wish bad for anyone. I have paid my dues and I played my role in building this music industry that everyone is benefiting from and no one is giving me my credit but God has crowned my effort with glory and He decided to pay me with this new deal,” Samklef told Punch.
Nigerian singer Samklef is not happy with the leadership style of President Muhammadu Buhari. The multi talented singer and music producer known for songs like Molowo, took to his Twitter page to express his dissatisfaction.
According to him:”I think President Buhari needs to suspend himself by resigning to save us all”
