Award-winning Afropop star KiDi has opened up about the emotional toll of online criticism, describing internet trolls as “sad people” projecting their own unhappiness onto others.
In a conversation on the Talk No Dey Cook Rice podcast, the “Lomo Lomo” hitmaker shared his perspective on dealing with backlash, emphasizing that much of the negativity stems from people struggling with their own lives.

“Even if I give someone 1 million, they’ll ask why it wasn’t 1 million, they’ll ask why it wasn’t 2 million. Some people are just unhappy, they hate themselves and project that onto others.”
He urged critics to reflect on how it feels to be publicly shamed, comparing online trolling to being torn down by a boss or parent in front of the world.
“It’s not personal,” he added. “They’re angry about their own lives and take it out on you.”
Despite the challenges of fame, KiDi revealed his coping mechanisms, including daily affirmations to reinforce self-worth.
“I remind myself that I’m the main character of my story—no outsider gets to co-star,” he said.
The singer also discussed navigating fatherhood in the spotlight, the deeper meaning behind his music, and untold stories from his time with Lynx Entertainment.
He also won the Best Collaboration of the Year award at the just-ended 26th TGMA for Lomo Lomo featuring Black Sherif.
