I was burnt out, depressed, and broke – Eva Alordiah reveals why she stepped back from a seemingly successful music career

Nigerian rapper, Eva Alordiah, has revealed why she stepped back from a seemingly successful music career and took a long hiatus.

In a post shared on her X, Eva who was quite popular for her amazing rap music said a few years ago she came to the consciousness that she was ‘burnt, broke and depressed’.

Eva mentioned that at the time,if there was a picture of the phrase “Starving Artist”, it would have been her face. She said she took three years off to invest in herself and has been the better for it.

‘’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.”

 

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

 

I look back and I swear I wouldn’t change a thing!

 

Taking responsibility for my shit helped me get my life back.

 

Today my life is so much better because I was bold enough to say- “Na me fuck up!”
