Musician Vivian Tendo recently got hitched and many music fans anticipated that she would no longer appeal to her fanbase.
It has always been said that musicians lose a section of admirers when they get married.
But she disagrees with the whole idea of living a single life.
“It’s quite unfortunate that we live in a society influenced by negative rhetorical narratives. Many artists are bound to pressure and live by public influence due to the stigma created against marriage for fear of losing their fan base,” she stated.
“Wait! Who said that fans attend our gigs for a marriage proposal? Just to mention but a few power couples, do you believe that Bobi Wine, Bebe Cool, Rema, and Cindy are marriage role models? Nameless, Wahu, Bien, Chiki in Kenya? Jay-Z and Beyonce in the USA,” she wondered why musicians are scared of marriage.
She urges musicians not to yield to any pressure and instead build their families.
“Let your relationships be private, but not a secret, you’re human. Celebrate your marriage, your hubby, or your wifey. Let children enjoy moments with their father and mother without fear of how neighbors would feel or say. All shall be well with your fans!”
