Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde Highlights Career Regret

Nollywood screen diva and singer, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, says she regrets not putting too much energy in her music career throughout her 25 years in showbiz.

In an interview with TheNews, Omotola who had revealed that she is returning to music, opened up on how she allowed herself to be discouraged by people’s negativity about her career.

The stunning mother of four said there are times she looks back and regrets letting her music career die down the way it is.

She said, “The only thing that I look back and I feel I should not have done or should have done more is my music career, to be honest.

“When I look back sometimes, I feel a little bit upset myself that I allowed my music career to die down to the point where it did, that I did not do more with it. Because you know when you are coming from a place in the film career where I was on top of my game.

“I came out with my music and I got a lot of criticism at first. To some extent, I allowed it to get into my head even though it did not rock my call. I kind of allowed myself to just let it go and face other things. And in hindsight, I can’t understand why I allowed it go. You know time just passes.

“When you’re supposed to do something you don’t do it, when you are supposed to take a decision and you don’t take it, and as time just go, you say abeg, time has gone. And now I look back I am very angry with myself because in hindsight I just allowed myself to listen more to the negative voices than to the positive ones.

Speaking further, the actress said she would have realized nthat she has a lot of musical fans if she listened more to positive voices.

Omotola said: “If I had listened more to the positive voices and not allowed the negative voices to get into my head at the time, I would have realized that I had a lot of musical fans. So many people loved my music. The numbers actually showed it. My music sold out. And not only did my music sell out, at the time when music was not that big everywhere, my music was signed to Universal.”
