~ I’m not just seeing a waje that’s talking, I’m seeing a frustrated talented artiste who’s been going through a lot but can’t say or complain. She’s a good artiste but unfortunately, most Nigerians don’t give a fuck about GOOD MUSIC – I feel sorry too

"Dear Waje"

Instead giving up on ur career why not Lower your ego and ask Regina Daniels for the almighty formula she's using.
I can't understand better than her though. But I think #Waje got a decent career and her part in project fame, Glo endorsement etc so I am sure Rebranding will be OK!! Also her management need to wake up, she have to make an album and get sponsors/Label being an house hold name. https://t.co/fYVl1iebHi

Bloggers and twitter say waje is crying and saying she's broke , some even add waje is depressed , soon they'll had waje has issues too
Eyin te ti ya werey yi . everything na chance to blow even untop person life
Good morning
Waje's complaint isnt bout gender, its the media & industry. 2 years ago 9ice dropped an album "ID Cabasa" Living things went on to be a hit song, but I never heard or saw any of the mainstream media talk bout the album release. Almost like its only sponsored content they promote

Nigrians!! This always the best we can offer, come all out here and air our own opinion. Truth is if Waje should release another song tomorrow most of y'all will still turn deaf ear.

"Waje isn't Hard-working"
Waje vocals would fetch her millions aboard. she isn't the only suffering this tho. Savy Henry, Johnny Drille, Bez, Cobhams,Ric Hassani,Timi,Brymo are in this category, their genre of music isn't appreciated in Nigeria.
I hate how people think everything about public figures is "publicity stunt"

Like sometimes, even if you think it.
Do you also realize these people are human and have their own complex reality?
What's this madness?
Even if Waje is about that, trust me, it can't be this kind
Waje's reaction shows the dilemma that Nigerian creatives are in. They spend so much on promoting their work but these nonsense Alaba boys reap the benefits. Nigeria is messing up everybody, even the unfortunate ones we call leaders.
