Magixx opens up about pressure of celebrity life
Nigerian artist Alexander Adelabu, popularly known as Magixx, recently opened up about the challenges he faces as a celebrity in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, which surfaced online on Tuesday, June 10, 2024.
As a Mavin Records artist, Magixx discussed the pressures of maintaining a busy schedule and meeting public expectations.
One of the struggles he highlighted is the constant need to change his wardrobe to meet public expectations.
He shared, “There’s a path to every great person’s destiny. And in figuring out the path, I learned that you’ve got to go through this… I was dealing with public acceptance, family issues, accepting where I am at to improve myself, and still meeting public demands.”
Magixx elaborated on the myriad of roles he juggles, from songwriting and performing to maintaining personal relationships and family responsibilities. “It’s a whole lot. You’re still the songwriter, you’re still the person who’s going to show up for video calls, you’re still the person who’s going to pick up your family’s calls. You’re still the person who has a love interest, you’re still the person who’s going to fly out every weekend outside Lagos to perform for people. It’s a lot but people don’t even know.”
He also emphasized the pressure on artists to constantly present a fresh image. “People don’t know that I can’t repeat the same clothes. For instance, this is the last time you will see the outfit I’m currently wearing on social media. I’ve to think about the clothes to wear every day. Normal people don’t think about those things. It’s a lot of pressure on artists but people from outside don’t see that,” he concluded.
