Artiste and music producer Magix Enga has candidly shared the challenges he has faced in the wake of his downfall, highlighting a vulnerable period in his life marked by a hacked Facebook account and the distancing of fellow artists.
In a recent interview on the Oga Obinna Show, he discussed the impact these events had on his career and mental health.
Magix revealed that his troubles began when his Facebook page was hacked, which led to numerous fans and contacts being conned.
“Something made Magix Empire fail; my FB page was hacked, and many people were conned. So, many people thought it was me, and the stress started there,” he recounted.
Despite his efforts to recover his account, including reporting the incident to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Kasarani, Magix expressed disappointment at the lack of support.
“I reported and showed them that people’s contacts had been deleted, but nothing happened, so I lost heart,” he said.
He also shared his feelings of isolation in the music industry, stating that many artistes distanced themselves from him during this challenging time.
“No artistes came to help me. I only see them liking pictures of me suffering and trying, but I’m still here. Only Willy M Tuva came to help me; at least I made one quality video and he’s not an artist,” he said.
Amid these struggles, Magix admitted to using alcohol as a coping mechanism for his stress.
A few weeks prior, he had been through a rehabilitation center after grappling with addiction. However, he has since acknowledged that he has relapsed.
“So sad, I don’t know people, but they know me a lot because of my music, so I drink every day because I love my fans, and I’m always too good to everyone, which I find it crazy to talk to someone who knows you, and I don’t,” he stated.
Magix Enga’s candid revelations shine a light on the darker side of fame and the struggles many artists face behind the scenes. As he continues to navigate his path, his story serves as a reminder of the importance of support and understanding in the music community.
