I don't have stage fright after preparing myself mentally for it - Lasmid

Lasmid, a Ghanaian artist, has said that he overcame stage fear by psyching himself up before entering the music profession.

The ‘Friday Night’ hitmaker claimed that stage nervousness is not a part of him when appearing on Adwuma Adwuma and engaging with its presenter, Felicia Osei, and explains why.

“It isn’t a part of me.” “I feel like it’s something we do frequently, so I’ve realised it’s normal for people not to enjoy your performance,” he admitted.

The MTN Hitmaker season 8 winner urges other artists to remember that not every performance receives a great reaction from the crowd.

“I believe every performer should keep this in mind; sometimes you walk on stage and no one notices. This is not to say people aren’t listening to your music; they are. “It’s normal, so those things don’t bother me,” he emphasises.

“Sometimes, some people are paying close attention to what you are doing, but they choose to just observe and listen, not so energetically,” he says. That’s how it is at times.”

When asked how he was able to bring his head in sync with this point of view, he said he prepared himself long before entering the music industry.

“Before entering the space, this is the mindset I came with because I’ve never been booed before when I climb the stage, but when I see it done to others, I put myself in their shoes.” Based on this, I mentally prepared myself so that if the situation arose, I would be alright,” he explained.

Lasmid also mentioned a few occasions where it is permissible for artists to remain on stage and perform, adding that in certain cases, you can leave the platform.

“When you’re booed, you have to leave the stage.” It lowers your morale in certain circumstances, but when you’re being booed but know your next song will cheer them up, you may keep singing. So you have to leave the stage occasionally and continue singing other times,” he explained.

Though he had not had that horrible experience, he told the story of one of his friends who had.

“One of my friends went through it, but when he finished, he was applauded.” I was perplexed since these same individuals had been booing him not long before. “I believe the next song is what brought him the fans,” he explained.

Ex-husband drags Xandy Kamel on social media again

"I was still in my wedding gown when the marital problems began." People began phoning to tell me they were having an affair with my husband. In my marriage, I've only felt happy for 5 minutes. We didn't even have sex. "I think we made love about six times in our one year together," a depressed Xandy admitted. Kaninja claims the marriage collapsed because Xandy was more preoccupied with her lesbian lovers rather than their marriage. He added that his ex-wife portraying the victim is merely a front to hide her embarrassment. Kaninja stated that Xandy is unsuitable for marriage since she cannot even arrange her matrimonial bed or clean.

King Kaninja, the ex-husband of actress Xandy Kamel, has reacted to charges that his casual attitude and infidelity spree ended their two-year marriage.

His recent outburst comes in response to an interview Xandy gave on Delay Show, in which she declared, among other things, that she was the family earner, rented their house, and paid all the expenses.

She also said she had over GH30,000 in her account at the time of her wedding, but that amount had been reduced to barely over GH100 in two years.

Xandy also discussed the trauma she faced in her marriage, which cost her two pregnancies.

“I was still in my wedding gown when the marital problems began.” People began phoning to tell me they were having an affair with my husband. In my marriage, I’ve only felt happy for 5 minutes. We didn’t even have sex. “I think we made love about six times in our one year together,” a depressed Xandy admitted.

Kaninja claims the marriage collapsed because Xandy was more preoccupied with her lesbian lovers rather than their marriage.

He added that his ex-wife portrayed the victim as merely a front to hide her embarrassment.

Kaninja stated that Xandy is unsuitable for marriage since she cannot even arrange her matrimonial bed or clean it.

Even routine household duties, he claimed Xandy’s mother was doing.

Kaninja, who had opted not to respond, stated that he felt compelled to clear his name.

He claims he hasn’t spoken up because he doesn’t want to get involved in the dirt like his ex-wife.

“The reason I don’t pay attention to some of this news is that eagles and pigs aren’t natural enemies.” Pigs adore playing in the mud, therefore there is no need to accompany them there. “When you follow them, you become dirty like them,” he grumbled.

Kaninja stated that if Xandy did not stop firing, he would be forced to unleash all of the bombshells.
