Singer Timi Dakolo has advised upcoming musicians to be creative and true to their craft, stating that fame is like a poison that can destroy in a flash.
Timi said this during an interactive session at the Bridge Church in Abuja, reported on Monday.
“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 artists, do you want to be here a long time or be here for the applause and be famously broke? No idea is a waste in songwriting, so when ideas come your way, you should be able to identify them,” he said.
Dakolo gained prominence in the music industry in 2007 after he won the maiden edition of Idols West Africa.
