Entertainment is the biggest thing in Nigeria, according to reports, this industry might be taking over every other industry very soon. Little wonder every one is making hay while the sun still shines, fighting for a place in this very large and rich industry.
Surprisingly, while the Industry is recording the arrival of more stars, some are taking their bows and leaving the industry, swearing never to return.
We have heard severally how the industry is hard, how competitive it is and how only the strong can survive the politics in the industry. Still, many are telling tales of grass to grace after just a short period in the industry.
Well, for those who took their bows, the industry was not fair to them, in their words and they would rather leave than endure or leave room for depression.
Check out four music stars who dumped music for other things.
TUNDE EDNUT : This musician turned blogger hustled for a while in the entertainment industry, with a number of tracks and collaborations under his belt. Despite his struggles and hustles in the industry, his career as a musician made no headway leaving Tunde no choice but to find another way to make ends meet. He chose blogging and today, he is one of the biggest and most recognized in Nigeria. A feat he could not achieve with music.
