In other news, Hotkeed has shared his thoughts on the music industry, and it is clear he has some personal experience to draw from.
The singer recently appeared on Meet Up with Jbrandy and delivered a rather controversial take on the realities of success, saying that simply being around a superstar like Wizkid does not automatically guarantee that an individual will become successful or "blow." His statement has once again opened up the conversation about the difference between opportunity, proximity and actually making an impact in the entertainment industry.

According to him, being close to a global star comes with advantages, but talent, strategy, consistency and personal drive still matter.

But here is what the blogs did not tell you.
The real reason Hotkeed is saying all this is not because he has studied the industry. It is because he has been trying to get a feature with Wizkid for five years and has been ignored every single time. He has sent messages to Wizkid's manager, DMed his Instagram, and even showed up to a few of his shows hoping to be spotted, but nothing. He is not giving advice, he is venting.
Edgar doesn't lie.
