Why will I envy anyone?<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that I\u2019ve had my time and I enjoyed everything that came with the attention at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Fame is seasonal and I admit it\u2019s time for other people to enjoy the spotlight so that is fine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBesides, there were other female artistes before me and I don\u2019t think they didn\u2019t want me to succeed.<\/p>\n<p>As an artiste, I perfectly understand that aspect of show business and I prepared for such a season.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t allow such things to get to me because I\u2019m a positive person,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>For Eazzy, born Mildred Ashong, the shift of the spotlight off her pushed her to engage in other profitable ventures she wouldn\u2019t disclose but said had been worth her time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have poor structures in this industry and that has been the bane of Ghanaian artistes because you don\u2019t make enough when you aren\u2019t on top.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe music business is all lucrative when you\u2019re topping charts and enjoying the attention as a big artiste but the financial flow drops as soon you don\u2019t get much spotlight. I prepared for such days and I\u2019m happy it\u2019s reaping off now when I\u2019m not as big as I used to be,\u201d she disclosed.<\/p>\n<p>A popular perception in the music industry is that female artistes don\u2019t stay on top for long because they don\u2019t enjoy the kind of attention their male counterparts get but the Kpakposhit) artiste disagrees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was the perception I had some time ago, I also thought the society wasn\u2019t fair to female artistes since the men were enjoying all the attention but I had a change of mind last year when I saw how Ebony performed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe truth is that she gave the men very good competition because she was very talented and for that, she had massive support.<\/p>\n<p>I also remember how I enjoyed such patronage at the peak of my career so I think if you are good, you will get public backing irrespective of your gender,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Eazzy, is getting in gear for all that 2018 has to offer and will be releasing her new single Power, featuring Shatta Wale tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 65 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Thursday, 1 March 2018 Source: Graphic.com.gh 2018-03-01 Female Hiplife artiste, Eazzy Between 2009 and 2013, there was no female Hiplife artiste bigger than Eazzy.
