Ghanaian singer Camidoh has opened up about the difficulty of building genuine friendships within the music industry, revealing that trust remains a major challenge among artistes.
Speaking in an interview on Hitz FM on Tuesday, April 7, the artiste shared personal experiences that have shaped his perspective, noting that not everyone in the industry is as authentic as they appear.
“People actually have two faces,” he said, explaining that these realities inspired themes in his recent music.
Camidoh disclosed that he has encountered situations where private conversations were later shared and distorted among peers, creating a sense of mistrust.
“It’s hard to really have a real friend in the industry. You talk to somebody, and the person will go and sit with who they call their friends and actually dissect it and make you sound stupid,” he explained.
According to him, such experiences have made him more cautious in his interactions, prompting him to be selective about who he trusts. While he acknowledged that there are still a few people he relies on, he emphasised that genuine connections are rare.
“The best thing is to keep to yourself or pray to God. I’m not saying I don’t trust people. There are people I trust. But most of the time, it’s not real,” he added.
The singer also highlighted the important role his family plays in keeping him grounded, particularly during critical moments in his career. He revealed that he often seeks spiritual support from his mother, especially when preparing to release new music.
“That’s why I tell my mum to pray for me. When I’m about to release a new song, I tell her, ‘mum, be praying,’” he shared.
Camidoh’s comments shed light on the often unseen emotional and social challenges that come with life in the spotlight. While the music industry offers fame and opportunities, it can also present difficulties in maintaining trust and building meaningful relationships.
His reflections resonate with a broader narrative among artistes who have spoken about the pressures of navigating professional success alongside personal authenticity.
