She said:
It was a really tough Tuesday for us at @cgvmstudios Lagos. In just a few minutes, everything we’ve worked so hard for, worth hundreds of millions, was gone, consumed by flames.
I’m struggling to find the right words and don’t even know how to start explaining what happened.
All I can say is that we’ve lost everything, but by some miracle, no one was hurt.
We’re in a state of shock and if we’re a bit slow to respond, please understand.
This is a huge setback, but it hasn’t defeated us.
Right now, more than ever, we need your prayers and support.🙏
Despite everything, we’re determined to rebuild from here, stronger and with our faith in each other and in the future intact.
Mama Chi 💕”.
In other news, Cynthia Morgan, a Nigerian dance-hall singer, has revealed why nobody dared to harass her in the Nigerian music industry.
The singer, popularly called Madrina, spoke candidly about her experience with s3xual harassment in the music industry.
Cynthia Morgan stated that she had never been subjected to such harassment because of her tomboyish temperament and forceful way of dealing with others.
According to her, some people in the industry were also afraid of her.
She highlighted her dissatisfaction with the reality of most Nigerian female artists and how it hinders their quest for success in the music industry.
Cynthia Morgan expressed her support for fellow singer Yemi Alade and others in the business, asking them to stay strong. She expressed her hope that spiritual intervention would lead them through the difficulties they encounter.
In her words:
“When I tell people I never witnessed s3xual harassment in the music industry they are always surprised. Firstly, in real life, I was a tomboy and secondly, I always use to threaten people on how I will import people from Benin to fuck everybody up. Them they fear me for that Lagos.
It’s just so sad how being feminine and wanting to be successful makes you a prey. I really pray for a better Nigeria/world.
Stay tough.
God will see us through”.
