Why I Quit Music Business — Eva Alordiah

Nigerian female rap artiste, Eva Alordiah, has stated the reason she quit the music industry. According to the lyrical goddess, during her stay in the music industry, she fell into depression.

In a post on her verified X page (formerly known as Twitter), she narrated, “A few years ago I walked away from a seemingly “successful” music career. I was burnt out. Depression had taken an almost permanent seat beside me.

“My bank balance was just enough to buy my next meal. If there was a picture of the phrase “Starving Artist”, it would have been my damn face. One day, I said “Fuck it! I got myself here, I’m gonna get myself out,” (sic)

Alordiah stated, “I invested the next 3 years in relentless self-development: building my body, reading ferociously, taking care of my mind, investing in online courses, learning how to make money, building multiple online businesses.”

The rap artiste completed her post stating that she does not regret her decision. “I look back I wouldn’t change a thing! Taking responsibility for my decisions helped me get my life back. Today, my life is so much better because I was bold enough to say-  ‘Na me mess up!’
