One of the fastest rising female singers in Nigeria, Floxy has said that some female music acts are leaving the entertainment industry because of victimisation by their male counterparts.
She said such issues arise from men in the industry asking to sleep with female artistes before rendering any form of assistance to them. Floxy said entertainment industry in Nigeria would have grown bigger than its present state if the male-dominated had given the female folks more chances to survive.
The artiste claimed that some people have refused to play her songs and those she featured in because she turned down their love advances.
“It is so pathetic down here and I used to think this happens only in the movie sector, but I was wrong. Some people have come into the music industry because of the enormous sexual gains in it. They are specialists in sleeping with clueless ladies who believe they can make it overnight by giving their bodies to these men.
“Even when you pay for a service, they still don’t want to execute it probably because they need your attention and many good female artistes are backing out of the game because of this,” she said.
Floxy urged her colleagues in the industry to support themselves and warned them not give their bodies to greedy men.
“Another problem comes from our nature as female, we are jealous and mostly would love to see another experience the same hardship or pain we saw, even when there is an easy shortcut to avoid it.
We can help one another in confronting these guys and make them stop this act because at the end of the day, it boils down to having just few courageous ladies who are ready to go all the way in the industry while the men keep swelling in their numbers.
“I mean no disrespect to the male folks because I have seen some of them who are like God-sent angels when you work with them, but to those damaging the reputations of these angels, it’s time to change.
They have damaged the reign of men in the industry and I know that soon, we will have good female producers, mangers, DJs, OAPs and the rest of them taking charge; maybe then, we can show what an ideal music industry is supposed to look like.” she said.
Floxy’s last single was ‘Are you ready’, a track that was released in 2014.
