Being famous is my biggest regret in music — J. Derobie

Ghanaian singer J. Derobie has revealed that his biggest regret in life is becoming famous and being recognized everywhere he goes. The singer said that after rising to fame, he could no longer visit his favorite waakye joints freely, something he found very frustrating. However, speaking on Accra-based Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz on Monday, February 17, the award-winning singer said he no longer allows such concerns to affect him. “Fame,” he said in response to a question about what he regrets most since venturing into music. “Sometimes people don’t understand how it works. It gets tiring. You don’t have your freedom. Everywhere you go, people recognize you. You can’t even go and buy waakye in peace.
