Nigerian singer and rapper Naetochukwu Chikwe, popularly known as Naeto C, has revealed the reasons behind his decision to put his music career on hold. Speaking in a candid interview on BEAT FM, the celebrated artist opened up about how family priorities and life changes influenced his choice to step back from the music scene.
Naeto C explained that major milestones in his personal life, including his marriage in 2012 and the birth of his first child in 2013, made him reassess what he wanted for his future. “For different reasons, you know, I think I wanted something different when I thought about my future and the kind of life I wanted,” he said. The artist admitted that the demands of a music career no longer aligned with the stable and family-focused life he envisioned.
Reflecting on his journey into music, Naeto C revealed that his path was driven more by passion than a deliberate career plan. “I was one of those kinds of people that got into music not because I wanted to be a musician, it’s just because I liked music so much and I was able to make songs that people liked,” he shared. His early love for music and natural talent quickly turned him into a household name, but the fame came with its own set of challenges.
Naeto C spoke about the difficulty of balancing life, family, and music. Every time he considered returning to the studio, unexpected events seemed to get in the way. “Every day I meet people who remind me of the music and why the music was so special to them, and every time I want to start a project, then something crazy will happen,” he said. This pattern of interruptions led him to question whether returning to music was truly the right path.
He further elaborated on the recurring obstacles in his musical journey. “You know the funny thing, every time I say I’m going back to the studio, something crazy will happen in my life. It’s crazy. So I’m just like, God, do you really want me to do this? Maybe you don’t want me to do this,” Naeto C said.
Despite stepping back from music, Naeto C acknowledged the enduring love and support from his fans, who continue to express how much they miss his work. While he has been away from the spotlight, he remains grateful for the impact his music has had, and he hinted that he may return to the industry when the timing feels right.
Naeto C’s story highlights the complex balance between personal life and professional ambitions. His decision to prioritize family over fame is a reminder that success is not always measured by visibility or output but by the quality of life one leads and the values one upholds.
As fans eagerly await any new music, Naeto C’s honesty and openness about his journey provide a rare glimpse into the life of a star navigating the pressures of the entertainment world while staying true to personal priorities.
