ID Cabasa: Nigerian entertainers are suffering, dying in silence, deserve empathy

326

Nigerian music producer, ID Cabasa, has drawn attention to the emotional struggles faced by many stars in the entertainment industry.

According to him, the glitz and glamour often mask the pain and trauma that many celebrities endure, leaving them internally broken while striving to appear strong.

In a statement released by the producer, Cabasa highlighted the troubling trend of commentators and fans deepening the pain of entertainers by criticizing them instead of showing empathy.

“A lot of people need healing, but when they try to speak up, they face criticism, mockery, and judgment. Instead of receiving support, they are met with blame for issues they need help overcoming,” he stated.

The music producer lamented that many Nigerian stars deal with unresolved trauma and lack proper avenues for closure.

He observed that even when they cry out for help, society often dismisses their struggles, treating their vulnerability as a form of entertainment rather than a call for support.

Cabasa further emphasised the stigma surrounding mental health and emotional struggles in Nigeria.

“In our society, people are expected to suppress their pain and move on, but this culture of silence is doing more harm than good,” he said.

He pointed out that this harmful mindset has led to many entertainers suffering silently while their issues are trivialised or ignored.

Addressing the root of the problem, Cabasa criticised the tendency of Nigerians to take sides during controversies rather than seeking the truth or showing compassion.

He explained that this often prevents those affected from finding the closure and healing they need, leaving them trapped in cycles of pain.

He added, “We mock people for things they need healing from. When entertainers speak out about their struggles, society glosses over it, turning it into gossip or entertainment. It’s a disheartening cycle that needs to change.”

The producer also pointed out the importance of creating safe spaces for dialogue and therapy, noting that trauma is a significant issue in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

He called on stakeholders to prioritize mental health and provide support systems for entertainers who are battling personal challenges.

Fans and observers have also been called upon to play a more empathetic role in supporting their favorite stars.

“These entertainers are human beings who face immense pressure. The least we can do is to show understanding and compassion,” he urged.
