In a recent interview with PUNCH, Kennis music artiste Jaywon, revealed why he has been keeping a low profile for months now.
He said: “It was
deliberate and I won’t say it was an issue. Everybody needs to grow and I
always tell people to assess themselves and check if they are growing.
This should be done every now and then. Then, you make the necessary
corrections.
“Maybe, I noticed certain
things about me and I took time out to make amends. In the past, there
were some things I did which I wished I never did. Sometimes, because
you are signed to a record label, you feel they should do everything for
you and as a result, you let go of many things or don’t take
responsibility for what you should.”
Talking about the pains
and gains of the music industry, the ‘Odun yi’ crooner said: “There are
lots of them and because nobody forced me into doing music, I have to
cope with the bad ones, like being misunderstood by the press, who in
turn push those wrong messages to your fans. Sometimes, you don’t even
realize how big your act is until one wrong incident happens and you
experience the outpour of reactions. Also, you don’t seem to have a
private life apart from constant criticisms.
“I am yet to see someone
who goes to the toilet and bathroom with his phones. So, when someone
accuses me of not taking my calls, I laugh and ask if he takes his
phones to those places because it’s possible that I may have been taking
my bath when he called. The gains are many. People pray for you and
some even pay you to come and party with them. It’s not that I was
invited to perform; it’s just to come and identify with the host. That’s
the kind of love people have for me.”
