When you bring your problems to public court, you lead people to dig up dirt about you. What then do you gain? There is life after the period of trending. What happens to you after that? You need to be careful as an artist so you’re not damaged goods.
The conversation got spicy when Niniola championed the power of women in an industry dominated by male performers. She said,
Women are hardworking. We commit a lot, we have to worry about performance, stylists, makeup, hair and the likes, which often requires a lot of funding. It can be tough to handle for many women that’s why I always say yes to women who approach me for features. Beyond my job I do it because we need to celebrate women at all time and make sure they are not taken advantage of. I also always advise managers, musicians and promoters to give women opportunities because most women are more talented than men.
