Singer Timi Dakolo, has adviced fellow artistes that the secret to survival in entertainment industry is to develop thick skin, because people will always look for something to say about you.
Dakolo said, a famous person can go to bed happy, but wake up with the news of being in a mess. And for the fact that such person is a popular face, the odds will always be against him/her.
Dakolo also shared a bitter personal experience he had.
He wrote:
Grow a thick skin because being famous is a whole lot.
I carried a little girl at an event. She just wouldn’t go back to her mum. So I parented her all evening. Next thing I saw online, Timi and his love child are inseparable. This space is a mad house..
“You will definitely need it. You can go to bed a happy fellow and wake up with news of you in some mess. And because you are famous, the odds are already against you. So people are always looking for who to drown. Being in the spotlight makes you an obvious target”.
