Joeboy Expresses Regret Over Humility, Says It Downplayed His Worth

Nigerian Singer Contemplates Being More Vocal About His Achievements

Nigerian singer Joeboy, whose real name is Joseph Akinfenwa Donus, has expressed regret over his humility, stating that it has led to an underestimation of his worth in the entertainment industry. In a recent episode of the podcast show ‘Body & Soul’, Joeboy revealed that he believes his composed demeanor has often led people to overlook his achievements.

Joeboy, known for his hit song ‘Baby’, stated that he sometimes contemplates being more vocal about his musical accomplishments. He expressed frustration over the perception that his calmness is mistaken for lack of achievement. He said, “What could I have done different? I would say, be more arrogant. Because you people don’t have respect. When you are always calm they go just feel like say you are not that guy or something.”

The singer’s comments have sparked mixed reactions from netizens. Some have criticized him for being unnecessarily vocal recently, while others have agreed with his perspective. One user commented, “Same thing happening to Fireboy, I wish he had been more loud about his achievements.”

Joeboy’s recent album, ‘Body & Soul’, has been well-received, showcasing his flair for penning love songs that pull from both African and Caribbean vibes. Despite his success, the singer’s comments highlight the challenges artists face in balancing humility with the need to assert their accomplishments in a competitive industry.

As Joeboy continues to navigate his career in the music industry, his comments have sparked a broader conversation about the perception of success and the importance of acknowledging one’s achievements. It remains to be seen how this newfound perspective will influence his approach to his career moving forward.
