Ozonna Soludo, the son of Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo, has addressed those who criticize his music, asserting that he doesn’t require approval or advice regarding his artistic choices.
Soludo, a singer who studied at the Institute of Contemporary Music in London, emphasized that as an artist, his purpose is to offer a unique perspective.
In a social media post on Tuesday, he expressed his stance: “I want to make it clear to anyone who needs to hear this—I don’t care about your opinions. It’s often those lacking artistic vision who are the most vocal about how I should enhance mine. It’s audacious of you to sit in your bedroom and attempt to guide me on occupying a space you lack the courage to enter.”
Soludo continued, “The essence of being an artist is to provide people with a fresh outlook. I’m meant to be distinct. That’s the essence. I don’t require your counsel on becoming more ordinary and agreeable. If you dislike what I create, you’re under no obligation to engage.”
His response showcases his determination to pursue his artistic endeavors on his own terms, without being swayed by external criticism.
