The ‘Monalisa’ crooner shared the experience during a recent livestream with content creator Gilmore, where he spoke about the challenges he encountered while trying to establish himself in the entertainment industry.
According to the singer, one of his uncles, who is now involved in politics, expressed doubts about his potential to achieve success in music despite his determination to pursue the career.
“I have an uncle who is now in politics. I won’t mention his name, but he is very rich and popular. When I wanted to start music, he told me I would never blow,” Lojay recalled.
The singer explained that the discouraging remarks did not deter him from pursuing his dream. Instead, he remained focused on his ambition, refusing to allow other people's perceptions of his prospects to determine the direction of his career.
Reflecting on his journey, Lojay expressed satisfaction that his persistence had eventually paid off, despite the doubts he faced at the beginning of his musical journey.
His account highlights the challenges aspiring musicians can encounter, particularly when their career choices are met with scepticism by people within their immediate circles.
Lojay also used the opportunity to encourage his fans to remain committed to their aspirations, urging them not to allow negative opinions or discouragement from others to undermine their confidence.
The singer's message was one of perseverance and self-belief, emphasising the importance of staying focused on personal goals even when others doubt the possibility of success.
