SOUTH AFRICAN SUPERSTAR MSAKI TAKES BREAK FROM MUSIC
Msaki takes break from music after American artist Rihanna called her "weird"
South African songbird Msaki announced her break from the music industry after being the main trending topic for weeks and further released a statement that she could not handle the bullying she received.
She expressed her gratitude to people who have been supportive of her musical journey especially those who stuck with her through her first album.
“But I am sensitive and sentimental, an empath (this is my most valuable creativity tool), and my skin is not thick. It is porous so I feel the changes in the breeze. I’m moved quickly and deeply and I understand this may be abnormal. I don’t expect everyone to understand, but I know some of you get it,” she mentioned.
Msaki urged people to be nice to her other music colleagues.
“We need to love more. Please don’t push people to the edge and only have empathy after they become statistics. Be kind to my colleagues, we are just people. We need more gentleness and grace for each other. Please can we change?” she continued.
The Khusela vocalist said her team will manage her social media accounts, and her final gig guide will soon be released. She further spoke about Rihanna’s reaction after listening to her song for the first time as she was interviewed recently on Mac G’s Podcast and Chill, and she spilled the tea about her life and career.
Msaki said Diplo tried pitching her songs to Rihanna and Justin Bieber, but the Diamonds’ hitmaker wasn’t pleased.
“Dude, Rihanna apparently thought my s**t was weird. She’s like, ‘I like this but this girl is weird. What was that lyric?’,” she expressed.
