Joeboy speaks about raising awareness of domestic abuse

The Nigerian musician Joeboy has spoken about how he uses his songs to raise awareness of domestic abuse in African countries, stating that it is OK to discuss those topics.

Joeboy acknowledged this during a recent interview that he uses his music to advocate for women who are abused.

“It’s something that happens a lot in African societies, domestic abuse and women being maltreated or not being treated properly so I just wanted to touch on that. I feel it’s right to touch on topics like that and shed more light on it basically,” he said.

The singer and songwriter also talked about how quiet and introverted he is, emphasising that these traits can sometimes be condemned, particularly in the entertainment industry.

He then advised aspiring musicians who share his introverted nature, telling them that they can succeed in music regardless of who they are.

“I think sometimes there are negative connotations to being introverted, especially when it comes to showbiz,” he said.

Joeboy emphasised that he was able to achieve success despite the myths surrounding introverted artistes.

“People feel like you have to be some certain kind of way to actually breakthrough, but I was able to breakthrough. So I feel like it all balls down to your talent and how well you can connect with people,” he said.

“Me saying this is also to inspire people who feel like they can never have a chance at music because they are calm and introverted. If you try to be somebody that you’re not, it would all just lead to a lot of pressure,” he concluded.
