Oladotun Alade, the talented Afrobeat artist recognized as Dotman, has openly expressed deep remorse over his decision to move from Nigeria to the United States.
The “Star Life” hitmaker confessed he has faced silent battles since relocating, finding life abroad tougher than expected.
He heartbreakingly admitted missing his children for nearly two years and lamented ever making the move.
“Looking back, leaving Nigeria was my biggest mistake. Every day has been a silent struggle. Two years without holding my kids—it’s a pain I never imagined,” he shared in a vulnerable Instagram post.
A growing wave of Nigerian entertainers have made similar moves overseas in recent years.
The list includes prominent names like Asake, Eldee, Dr. Sid, Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Rita Dominic, Tacha, Uche Jombo, and Emeka Ike among numerous others who’ve sought opportunities abroad.
