Billie Eilish continues to be a relatable queen, whether it’s accidentally coming out, talking openly about masturbation, or, in the case of her recent conversation with Lana Del Rey for Interview, talking about love and vulnerability and how much she struggles with both.

“When one of your romantic relationships ends, do you think you leave them with a thousand questions? Or do they leave you with a thousand questions? Or is it split 50-50? Is it more dangerous to fall in love with you? Or is it more dangerous for you to fall in love?” Del Rey asked.

“Big question, Lana,” Eilish responded. “I don’t even know. I think 50-50 is probably accurate. I literally hate who I am so much when I’m in love,” she admitted. Oof. Put a finger down if you felt that one.

“I really don’t like being—I was going to say out of control, but there’s ways that I do like being out of control,” she explained. “I have a power issue and a control issue, and I also don’t like being vulnerable in a romantic way. It makes me feel uncomfortable, and I don’t know how many times I’ve really been in love. I think there’s different versions of love, and I think that you can be in love and it might not be deep.”

She explained to Del Rey how this influenced her songwriting on her new album Hit Me Hard and Soft.

“It’s interesting to be a person who isn’t an outwardly sensitive complainer. A lot of moments on this album are about situations where I was like, ‘I’d rather be tortured inside but have somebody think that I’m cool, than have somebody think that I’m hysterical and actually express my feelings.’ So many songs on this album reflect that realization of, like, ‘Maybe I’m obsessed with the idea of nonchalance.’”

“I care about people and I have love and passion, but in relationships, I found myself never ever expressing any of my needs. It was interesting to notice I was doing that, and that’s what these lyrics are about. It’s almost like I resent myself for not advocating for myself, because maybe if I had, things would’ve changed. But I’ve always had an issue with weakness.”

The BBNaija star and Imo born influencer cries out on the alarming rate of igbo men marrying older women. She opined that the reason for this is not far-fetch and very connected to the hustle for a passport.

Uriel stated that women shouldn’t be called gold diggers henceforth because men have taken the lead and they are the real gold diggers now.

Furthermore, she mentioned that as a woman with an elderly mother, she can’t even imagine what a Man will be doing with an elderly woman in the other room.

Many Nigerian artists not financially stable because of frivolous spending – Bella Shmurda

Afrobeats singer Bella Shmurda has spoken about how frivolous spending is affecting the finances of many Nigerian artistes.

Shmurda claimed that many of his colleagues are unable to fund their projects without the backing of major labels because they lavish their money on trivialities.

Featuring in a recent episode of the Afrobeats Intelligence podcast, the ‘Cash App’ crooner explained that he too made a similar mistake at the beginning of his rise to stardom but later corrected it.

The singer argued that artistes do not need to spend the bulk of their earnings on expensive jewellery and cars in order to build a brand, noting that simplicity is also a form of branding.

He said, “I don’t think packaging has to be materialistic. Having good clothes on you, looking nice, nice skin, brushing your teeth, smelling well is okay, if you know how to dress without chains. I mean some of us don’t have these things before, and we looked good. This guy doesn’t have a chain on, and he looks good. He’s not dirty. I mean, that’s packaged enough for your purpose.

“It’s because of the too much emphasis on expensive packaging that our young artists now run towards advances and they end up being indebted to those companies. And the companies have to hold their catalogue for years. It’s because of these materials things that they go into debts. They can’t even fund their next project because they do use their money buy big motor. I made that mistake too but I learnt. And I feel like we just have to educate ourselves about these things.”
