It’s important to set boundaries in entertainment industry – Reminisce

Rapper Reminisce has shared insights on maintaining healthy relationships in the entertainment industry.

In a recent interview with Naija FM, he emphasised the importance of setting boundaries and recognising that not everyone is a genuine friend.

Reminisce attributed his cautious approach to his early experiences with fame.
According to him, he learned the hard way that “nobody is my friend” in the industry, and this realisation helped him navigate complex relationships.

He explained that when it comes to humans, they can quickly turn against you if they’re not favoured, especially monetarily.
Reminisce advised aspiring artists to be aware of their surroundings by knowing who fits in their circle.

He stressed that not everyone around you wants you to succeed, and it’s essential to set clear boundaries to protect yourself and your interests.

Additionally, he cautioned against confusing these gestures, emphasizing that being kind and helpful doesn’t necessarily mean someone is a true friend.
He said: “Fame is a drug that gets one high and clouds judgment. One of the things I did in life earlier on was to realise that nobody is my friend.

“That’s probably why many people don’t like me, if someone has worked with me and you find out that we had issues, if you find out what happened, it would probably have been because I made my decision and stood by it. I have learned that at the end of the day, na me go suffer the consequences.

“You know that when it comes to humans, they turn you into an enemy if they aren’t favoured, especially monetarily. It took a while before I became famous and I even had a child beforehand, so the first thing I got to understand is that nobody is your friend, you can be kind and you can assist but the first mistake you can make in this music industry is thinking everyone is your friend. Nobody is your friend.

“We all want the same thing so there is no way you’d think everyone is your friend. It is very normal to have people around you when you’re hot and popping and it is your responsibility as a famous person to determine what you want. Not everyone around you wants you to succeed.”
