Why Most Nigerian Celebrities Live Fake Lives - Duncan Mighty

Port Harcourt based singer,
Duncan Mighty, is a popular
name amongst many as a
dancehall artiste who has
made quite an impression in
the Nigerian music industry.

Why most artistes who hit
the spot light and achieve
fame would seek to move
into Lagos, which is believed
to be the central city for
entertainers and the like, the
Ikwerre born singer has
chosen to remain in Port Harcourt and explained why in a recent interview.

According to Duncan Mighty, his presence in Rivers state has gotten a lot of
entertainment stake holders to notice the state and increase it’s popularity.
“I conquered the Lagos market with my first album and I think Nigerian artistes should be able to maximize fame and victory from any part of the country. The fact that I remain in PH city has attracted more entertainment stakeholders to the
state, thereby boosting their popularity. I wish other Nigerian celebrities can do or
say same about their states of origin.” He said.
The artiste also went further to blast his colleagues in the music industry, who
he says are living fake lives and claiming to own more than they actually do.

“A lot of Nigerian artistes lead fake lives. They claim to be what they are not, just
because they want to meet up their peers and fellow artistes.
“I live in my own house, it has a swimming pool, lounge and studio and I make
bold to say I didn’t buy it. I built it from the scratch. But a lot of these artistes will
claim they bought a house for N300m or N400m.

“But I didn’t spend up to that amount to build my house. If you have that amount,
say N500m, you don’t go and buy one property. There are many things to do with
money. They claim they have state-of-the-art cars, but that is not my priority. I
have choice cars, but it takes a lot of money to maintain such cars.”
