Renowned gospel singer Busola Oke, best known for her inspirational hit 'Eleyele', has sent shockwaves through the Nigerian entertainment industry after a distressing live broadcast on TikTok. The singer broke down in tears as she opened up about her deep-seated struggles with the music industry, leaving fans deeply concerned for her well-being.
During the emotional session, a visibly distraught Oke apologized to her supporters, admitting that she could no longer bear the mounting pressures and frustrations that have come to define her recent career experience. She voiced her dismay at the current state of the entertainment business, suggesting that artistic merit is no longer a pathway to success.
"To my fans, I'm sorry. I never planned to do this, but I can't take this anymore. I'm done. Good music doesn't sell anymore," she lamented through tears.
The singer, whose powerful vocals on tracks like Ogo Tuntun, Asoro Ma Tase, and Adaba have made her a staple in many Nigerian households, painted a picture of profound emotional and financial exhaustion. She questioned how any artist could find peace of mind or stability under such harsh conditions.
"How can you eat when there's no food? How can you drive when there's no car? How can you be at peace when there's no peace?" she asked rhetorically, highlighting the basic needs that have become sources of stress. In her lament, she also hinted at a feeling of abandonment by former colleagues and associates within the industry.
The video clip quickly went viral on social media, triggering an outpouring of support from fans and colleagues. Many took to various platforms to flood her with prayers and words of encouragement. Admirers hailed her as a pillar of the gospel music community and urged her to remain resilient, hoping she will find the strength to navigate through this difficult phase of her life and career.
