Magixx Says Fear of Embarrassment Stops Many Talented Artists from Succeeding
Afrobeats singer and Mavin Records star Magixx has opened up about a major issue many young talents face today — the fear of public embarrassment. In a recent interview on Hip TV’s Trending, the singer said that this fear is one of the biggest reasons why many never reach their goals in the music industry.
“People think raw talent is enough, but that’s not true,” said Magixx. He explained that many talented individuals stay hidden because they are too scared to take risks or fail in public. “If you’re scared of being embarrassed, you’re not ready for success,” he added.
What does Magixx mean by this?
He believes that talent needs to be seen. No matter how gifted someone is, they must be bold enough to show up, take chances, and push through uncomfortable moments. “If the talent was that obvious, it wouldn’t stay hidden,” Magixx said. “Many people simply don’t manage their opportunities well.”
He also stressed that hard work is just as important as talent. “Anyone winning right now is doing so because they put in the effort and showed up consistently. God doesn’t make mistakes,” he said.
Magixx’s comments have sparked strong reactions online, with many fans agreeing that fear and self-doubt often stop people from chasing their dreams. His message is now trending across social media as a wake-up call for those who are holding back.
In another trending story, a Nigerian man voiced his concern on X (formerly Twitter) about the country’s worsening economy. He reacted to a claim made by the Vice Chancellor of Redeemer’s University, who told parents during a virtual meeting that many students on campus are hungry.
“Bruh, Nigeria is so bad that you should cry,” the man wrote in a now-viral tweet. He shared that his sister is a student at Redeemer’s University and that the VC admitted students don’t eat well due to the high cost of food.
This comment sparked heavy online debate. “I am not joking. I was so sad after the call,” the man wrote. He explained that parents on the call also shared their frustration over the cost of living and school food prices. “Were they not feeding well on the expensive campus food before? The parents are helpless too,” he said.
Both Magixx’s bold statement and the viral economic concern reflect larger issues affecting Nigeria today, from personal growth to national challenges.
