Singer is preaching on thread: the singer spoke how society makes perception powerful than reality, She wrote: 

“We are told our whole life that good girls become Christian wives and bad girls are strippers. Then a stripper gets a chance to be a Christian wife and thinks she is redeemed.

Only to find out that her joy is traded in for hell. Because of conditioning she feels it is her fault for not being good enough. “

Priyanka Chopra has discussed the reasons behind the short duration of her music career.

The 40-year-old actor has revealed the reason behind her decision to leave the music industry. In 2012, she released her first single, “In My City.”

Chopra stated to People, “Musicians do crazy things.” The tour life is truly insane, so I have no idea how they manage it. It’s so busy.

“You travel to a different city every day for three months, so you have late nights and early mornings.”

She stated, “That’s why my music career lasted two seconds.” That was not my intention. I have tremendous admiration for this rock star lifestyle. It is unquestionably not for the weak of heart.”

Chopra also commented on what it’s like to be a “tour wife” and expressed gratitude for her husband Nick Jonas’s music career.

She stated, “It was fun doing the tour wife thing, it was my first time doing it for the Happiness Begins Tour.” On stage, I adore them to the hilt. When you see them live, they are an incredible experience, and I can’t get enough of them.

In 2013, Chopra and rapper Pitbull collaborated on the song “Exotic.”

She left the music business shortly thereafter and began concentrating on her acting projects.

From recently setting the FIFA World Cup fan fest stage ablaze with his electrifying performance, African superstar, Patoranking continues to break boundaries with his ever-evolving sound and is set to release a new track and video titled ‘Abobi’ on Friday 17 February 2023 via The Orchard.

“Rumuokoro don catch fire,” Patoranking solemnly laments in the opening line of Abobi; a powerful record that sheds light on the aftershocks of police brutality on both himself and the community as Abobi, which is street slang for friend in Port Harcourt. He sings it back to Lagos with “Ikorodu don catch fire”, as a point of contact to the further social disruptions in the land that has cost innocent lives. The song is very personal as Abobi can be any of us.

Abobi which is written by Patoranking and produced by Kel P is the second single of his upcoming album, an ode to the city of Port Harcourt in Nigeria, though generally impacting the country. It serves as an open range that pleads for urgency as its impact will be continued to be felt by many for generations to come. Listen, Enjoy, and Share.

Multiple award-winning musician and songwriter, Trigmatic on December 24th will perform live at Flipbar in Osu.

“We have all worked so hard within our own space to build this trail within our advertising space, let us, all and sundry, gathered here today; make it a point to leave this summit with a rekindled fire to blaze that trail”, he commended the participants.
