In a heartfelt message, Nigerian artist Khaid recently opened up about his experience with illness and the stark reality of how people’s priorities shift during such times. After being sick for months, Khaid expressed his gratitude to the few family, friends, and his label who supported him. He also shared his feelings on the lack of concern from the broader public.
A Sobering Realization
Khaid’s candid words shed light on the often-overlooked reality faced by many public figures. He noted, “Since I got sick, everyone got busy. Thanks to a few family friends and my label, they got my back. It’s been months, and I can count the number of messages I’ve received. No one checks up on me nor anything. But when I was fine, my DM was flooded with millions of messages and people telling me how much they love me.”
The Illusion of Love
Khaid’s experience highlights a harsh truth: the love and admiration from the public can be fleeting and superficial. He remarked, “The love in the street is not that deep, you won’t believe it till you fall. You all be safe, pray and prioritize your health. The hardest thing I realized is people can do without you, the world will still be perfect without you.”
A Call for Self-Care
Khaid’s message is a poignant reminder for everyone to take good care of themselves. “When you are up, take good care of yourself,” he advised. This statement underscores the importance of self-care and mental well-being, especially in a world where external validation can be inconsistent and unreliable.

Let his experience encourage us all to be more mindful, supportive, and caring towards those we admire, not just in their moments of triumph but also in their times of need.
