In an interview with actress Biola Bayo, shared on Wednesday, February 25, Eleyele revealed that hunger and depression were behind her public outcry.
“I posted that video because I was hungry and depressed. If I tell you what I have been through… there are days I won’t be able to provide food for myself,” she said.
The singer clarified that despite her emotional state, she never threatened to take her own life.
“I never said I was going to kill myself. I am a good Christian, and I know the implications of that,” she added.
According to her, the shows she attends barely cover transportation costs, leaving her with little to survive on.
“The shows that I attend can only fend for my transport. I can’t even feed from it. I don’t even know my life could be like this,” she confessed.
She disclosed that when her career was thriving, she had many people around her. But now, she feels alone.
“When things were going well, I had many people around me. Now, I feel abandoned,” she said.
