During a recent appearance on the TV program “Trending” hosted by reality star KimOprah, singer Candy Bleakz shared a revealing story about her past in the music industry.
She recounted how she was on the verge of signing with YBNL Nation back in 2015, with the expectation of becoming known as YBNL Princess. However, her hopes were dashed when record label boss Olamide decided to sign Temmie Ovwasa instead.
Reflecting on the moment, Bleakz expressed her disappointment, admitting that she was genuinely saddened by the turn of events.
She said, “The day Baddo (Olamide) unveiled Temmie Ovwasa, she is my friend but I was really sad. I was supposed to be the YBNL Princess. I was like, ‘Why did they sign someone else?’”
In addition to her personal experience, Candy Bleakz also touched on the challenges faced by female artists in Nigeria.
“For a female artist, when you’re pretty it’s a problem, when you’re ugly it’s a problem. When you’re too sexy it’s an issue and when you are not it’s an issue. Because I’m bringing something to the table but you will see comments like, ‘She’s not fine. She’s not dressing sexy. And at the same time, when she is fine they would want her to bring something to the table,” she lamented.
