Music producer ID Cabasa has expressed concern over the Nigerian entertainment industry. He lamented that many entertainers need healing from things they are privately going through. Taking to his social media page, ID Cabasa pointed out that a lot of people need closure, unfortunately, when they speak about their struggles, they are often criticised instead of receiving the healing they need. He wrote, “We need to treat Trauma more in Naija. A lot of people need closure.. unfortunately when they speak up rather than finding healing “People pick side” We mock/blame/judge people for things they need healing from. The entertainment industry has many stars that need healing. But commentators deepen their pain by criticising them rather than showing empathy. So a lot is locked in so as to appear STRONG while dying internally. Even when they cry out for help, we gloss over it as entertainment.”
