Bucie Explains Why She Wants Nothing To Do With Fame Anymore
Bucie set to release final album.
Bucie Explains Why She Wants Nothing To Do With Fame Anymore. Afro House songstress Bucie Nkomo has once made it clear that she is living the life of fame behind to focus on being a mother and wife. She said that growing up like many girls she wanted so bad to be known by everyone and to be celebrated but all that now feels like a curse in disguise.
“I grew up wanting to be famous. I think what I wanted was to be famous and everyone to know me. All I wanted was to be famous then. Now it is different. Now I want nothing to do with fame. I just want to sing and have no one know the face behind the voice. It is so exhausting.”
Bucie said she was the most real person she knows and that she felt fame wouldn’t let her realness shine. She said that it made her feel “very miserable”, especially when people felt they were entitled to say whatever they wanted about her.
Speaking to Destiny last year Bucie said the hardest lesson she learnt was that the industry could be a cruel place.
“If someone is not your blood relative, they aren’t your family, she says. It’s a cruel industry and you realise that those who have made it and who you look upto are the very same people who oppress you”.
Bucie’s latest album, Rebirth, was her last as she took time off to focus on her fam.
‘This is my final album, I’m out, I also just want to take some time off and spend it with my family. I’m a mom again. I have my sons, and need to spend time with them,”she told Sowetan in an interview last year.
