Afrobeats star and Mavin Records signee, Magixx, has shared powerful insights about the realities of making it in the music industry, stating that fear of public embarrassment is a major roadblock for many aspiring artists.

During a recent appearance on Hip TV’s Trending, the singer debunked the popular belief that natural talent alone is enough to achieve success.

“If you’re scared of being embarrassed, you’re not ready for success,” Magixx said. “People like to claim there are more talented individuals in the streets than on stage but if the talent was that obvious, it wouldn’t stay hidden. Many simply don’t manage their opportunities well.”

Magixx further emphasized that success is never a product of mere luck. “Anyone winning right now is doing so because they put in the effort and showed up consistently. God doesn’t make mistakes,” he added.

The singer’s remarks have resonated with many fans online, sparking conversations about self-doubt, missed opportunities, and the hard truths of navigating the entertainment space.
