Call it hitting the reset button but this young singer does
need a career reboot. YQ is looking at restarting his music
career as it seems to have plummeted in the last few years.
The Pop singer over the weekend changed his Twitter
handle from @YQJUBRIL to @iam_YQ and then
unfollowed all his followers on the social network except
the late Dagrin (who was until his death, a very close
friend).
He then went on a lengthy explanation…
First, let me start by saying a very big thank you to
everyone who's been there from the start, y'all are the
reason we're still here. Next, thank you also to all the
principalities/obstacles/haters and co. Y'all are the reason
we're a million times stronger now. Not forgetting of cos d
spectators who reside on the fence. Y'all are the reason
we're smarter. Keep looking, d show is just about to start.
In summary, everyone has contributed to the journey in a
way or the other. We appreciate you all. Growth and
Progress are the new favourite words to me and my team.
We therefore decided to evaluate ourselves and chart a way
forward. When you sleep and wake up everyday, it's a
fresh start. Unless you don't see it as one. So we are at this
point identifying and taking control of our own fresh start…
A new beginning, new possibilities, new energy, new YQ!
They say sometimes you need to go back for you to move
forward, so today I unfollowed all my followers on Twitter.
And I make a humble appeal to everyone to please accept it
as a move to create a better YQ for everyone. As this isn't
cos I got tired of seeing all your tweets, but cos we're
building this house all over again from the foundation for
the better. Before you take it personal, remember I
unfollowed my siblings, friends, manager, fans as well.
But of course if you still find it offensive after that, please
feel free to use the unfollow button too. Big s/o to the only
guy I couldn't find the b*lls to unfollow @Dagrinfimile. In
my heart always! GOD bless you all as I welcome y'all to
the new beginning!
Nigerian music enthusiasts will tell you that the last few
years have been very tough for YQ. After releasing his
lukewarm debut 'I Am YQ' under a JV deal with Storm
Records and 2koncept Entertainment in August 2012, the
Pop singer failed to sustain the hype. 2011 saw the likes of
Wizkid, Davido, taking the centre stage.
We'd love to see YQ (who's pretty talented by the way)
bounce back with his new single featuring Olamide. We
aren't sure about his new Twitter policy, but remember Dr
SID did the same a few months ago? Now look where that
got him this year – a potential hit single 'Surulere', an
upcoming album and a most interestingly, a wife.
