Why I have enemies around me – Angelique Kidjo

Angelique Kidjo

Beninese-American music icon Angelique Kidjo has said she has so many enemies because she is very blunt about her feelings and does not tolerate ‘bullshit’.

The Grammy winner said this in a recent Instagram live session with fellow Grammy winner Burna Boy while complimenting the latter’s stage performances.

Excited over the compliments, Burna Boy stated that he was blushing over Kidjo’s kind words.

Reacting, Angelique Kidjo said she meant every word she has said to her junior colleague, adding that she does not engage in bullshits which is why she has so many enemies around her.

“No, it is true. I’m not telling you, Me I don’t bullshit that’s why I have so many enemies around me, I’m like if I don’t like you, I tell you I don’t like you,” she said.

Continuing her compliment, Angelique said, “You know Burna, you know one thing i wanna tell you after your show in Paris. There’s a difference between listening to an album and seeing somebody perform and for me, I differentiate both.

“You can do wonder on the album, but what makes you a different artiste in whole (sic) is when you are on stage and you deliver and sometimes some artistes are able to do it in the studio and then on stage it becomes impossible and I come to your show and I’m like oh my boy is killing them all, I’m liking it.”
