Musician Camidoh has revealed the reason behind his transition from rapping to singing, describing it as a practical decision influenced by the demands of his early career.
Before winning fans over with smooth Afrobeats and soul-infused melodies, Camidoh started out as a rapper known for his lyrical dexterity and vibrant energy.
But in an interview on Hitz FM, the Sugarcane hitmaker explained that the rap scene became too demanding for him as an independent artist.
“I just felt that rap became a lot of work for me because, as time went on, I had to be reading a lot. I had to be doing so much work because the bar is always being raised. So that was a lot of work for me,” he said.
Camidoh added that rap requires constant lyrical upgrades and serious preparation, but without the support of a label, handling songwriting, production, and promotion on his own became overwhelming.
He noted that the pressure left little room for the intensity rap demands, and singing provided a more natural outlet for expression—without the constant need to “out-bar” his previous verses.
The switch has clearly paid off. His 2021 hit Sugarcane gave him a major breakthrough after several earlier singles failed to earn him mainstream recognition.
Fast-forward to 2025, and the genre-blending artist is preparing for his next big release—an EP titled Trustn God, set to drop on July 25.
