Nigerian singer, Dotman has revealed what his next project would be like. According to the “Akube” singer, he’s will be speaking up for men who have been abused one way or the other.
In his series of tweets, he says he’s willing to shatter the bias. According to Dotman, the common statement of “be a man” has been a huge exploit on men not to speak of their abuses and it’s destructive.
In his words:
Abuse against men is really something even though it’s rarely highlighted. Like even from society POV, men are not even allowed the space to process the pain and stress. You go dey hear “be a man”. As much as this phrase may sound uplifting and encouraging, it is destructive.
As a man and artist who has seen these things from verbal abuse to other types, I just feel like I should use my music to highlight it sometimes. E no easy but I’ll start that convo with my next EP.
The first track is ‘Star Life’ and I use it to speak for men that have been told to “be a man”. I’ll try to shatter some bias that never really favored men. Strength to all the men going through it.
