Your Dreams Are Delayed 10 Years if You’re Born In Africa — KiDi Shares Experience 

KiDi Sheds Light on Challenges Faced by Young Africans in Pursuit of Dreams

On the Day Show with Berla Mundi, Afrobeat sensation KiDi delivered an emotional message about the hurdles young Africans face in achieving their dreams and aspirations. The singer highlighted the significant delays and extra efforts required for individuals born in Africa compared to their peers in more developed regions.

KiDi’s words painted a vivid picture of the struggles encountered by young Africans, emphasizing the need to exert more effort to accomplish their goals. 

“As a kid, if you are born in this part of the world, your dreams and your goals are delayed 10 years. Whatever someone is doing five times, you have to do it times 50. Your effort has to be double; you have to strive, you have to have a monster mentality because you are unfortunate from the start; you’ve lost the race before it began” KiDi said.

The artist did not shy away from addressing systemic issues that persist in various sectors across African nations, including challenges within the entertainment industry and agriculture. He stressed the importance of self-improvement and urged individuals to invest in learning and development to bridge the disparities between African countries and more developed nations.

KiDi remarked, “Not just by being African, we know the broken systems and all—the entertainment industry, agriculture, and everything in Africa.” 

In advocating for a broader perspective, he encouraged people not to limit themselves to smaller opportunities but to explore larger horizons. He emphasized the significance of understanding diverse approaches and learning from various experiences.

The artist also shared a captivating cultural observation regarding international shows. He expressed his astonishment at the punctuality of foreign audiences, noting that they tend to arrive early compared to Ghanaian audiences. This cultural nuance highlights the importance of adaptability in a global context, potentially influencing the entertainment industry.

KiDi revealed plans to resume his tour after a break, demonstrating his preparedness to navigate the intricacies of the international music scene with a heightened understanding of cultural differences and the imperative of perseverance.

KiDi’s insights serve as a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination exhibited by young Africans in the face of unique challenges. His call for investment in learning, adaptability, and a broader perspective resonates not only in the music industry but across all fields where young Africans strive for success.
