Why it’s difficult for female artistes to thrive – Candy Bleakz

Blessing Mariam Akiode, better known as Candy Bleakz, a rising Nigerian singer, has stated that the lack of relationships between female artists makes it more difficult for them to thrive in the music industry than their male counterparts.

She claims that her unique musical style makes it difficult for her to be accepted by her female colleagues.

The 23-year-old was recently featured on the Clout Africa podcast.

Candy Bleakz said, “For [Nigerian] female artistes generally, there is no relationship among female artistes. No vibe, no nothing, you know.

“Then now, my music is now even different from what they are doing, now I’m trying to like sync myself in, like, yo, I’m here. What’s up? So, it’s harder.”
