Clearly overwhelmed, the singer did not hold back as she addressed those who regularly fault her music.
“I’m at a loss for what people really want from me? There is nothing I do that is good in your eyes,” she said.
Busola explained that whenever she releases a song, she is criticised for not following current trends. Yet, when she attempts to adapt, she is told she is too old for such styles.
“How can I possibly meet your expectations? What is the problem? Can’t you just let me be? Leave me alone,” she added.

The singer had earlier made headlines after opening up about her difficult reality in the music industry.
In an interview, she revealed that despite her talent and experience, making a sustainable income from gospel music has been a challenge.
Busola admitted that she had been dealing with loneliness, depression, and financial strain.
She disclosed that she had no car, owed several people, and was struggling to keep up with the cost of her accommodation, which reportedly stood at N55,000 per day.
