Nigerian singer and producer Bloody Civilian has shared her biggest regret about her music career. The talented artist, whose real name is Emoseh Khamofu, said she wishes she had used TikTok earlier when she started making music.
She shared this on her X page. In her words, “My biggest regret was being too cool for TikTok at the beginning of my career. God punish steeze.” She explained that her “too cool” attitude made her ignore the platform, and she now regrets that decision.
TikTok has become one of the strongest tools for music promotion today. Many Nigerian artists have seen their songs become hits after going viral on the app. CKay’s ‘Love Nwantiti’ is a clear example. The song was released in 2019 but became a global hit in 2021 after TikTok users began creating dance videos with it. This pushed the song up on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and other platforms.
Older songs have also gained new life through TikTok trends. Recently, Skales’ 2015 song ‘Shake Body’ started trending again after Barcelona football star Lamine Yamal danced to it in a viral video. This brought the song back to the charts and streaming platforms.
Another rising star benefiting from TikTok is Chella. His songs like ‘My Darling,’ ‘Nyash Na Nyash,’ and ‘Iweriwe Love’ have each gained millions of views because they trended on TikTok.
Bloody Civilian’s confession shows how important it is for artists to use social media to promote their music. While talent is important, platforms like TikTok help musicians reach bigger audiences and boost their careers faster.
Fans believe that Bloody Civilian still has a bright future ahead. Her honesty and unique music style continue to win people over. Her regret is a lesson for other artists not to ignore any platform that can push their music to the world.
