Following the news of her BET nomination, Ndivhunzannyi Ralivhona, popularly known by her stage name Makhadzi, believes she deserves everything good in this world at the right time.
Speaking to Sunday World this week, the Ghanaian hitmaker said she was born a winner but did not know the exact time she would be in her winning era.
“The nomination is a shock, and I know I deserve the best because I am a hard worker. I go all out when it comes to music and performances,” said Makhadzi.
“I know what I deserve, but I believe in God’s timing. Now that the time has come, I am grateful for the blessings that come with the hard work.”
Consistency and relevance
As an artist, Makhadzi believes the nomination will push her more into making music, as she plans to make people feel like she is a newcomer every year.
“I believe in consistency and relevance, and I always make sure to shine. People are not ready for me this time around, and one thing I’m praying for is to perform at the BET Awards one day,” said the Mapara star.
“Winning this award would be the medicine that will heal my wounds from the past in my musical journey. People know I have been through a lot but I chose to look forward.”
She said she believes the industry needs more female singers, especially in terms of representation. She also hopes that people do not take advantage of women, especially producers.
Unemployment holds country back
“The females are the ones that are giving us the melodies that we sing along; we must make sure that they are protected in all ways.”
This year, the nation celebrates 30 years of democracy and Makhadzi said she is not a politician but wishes that things get better.
“I wish they could deal with the unemployment issue because it is the one that is contributing to the high rate of crime in our country.”
