Gospel singer Busola Oke has revealed that she is facing severe financial difficulties and is contemplating quitting the music industry due to mounting pressure.
During a recent live session on TikTok, the singer became emotional, citing the challenges of sustaining a livelihood through gospel music.

The singer further stated that she is in urgent need of stable accommodation and a vehicle, explaining that funds meant for necessities such as food are used for Uber rides.
“I cried on my live video because I was lonely, depressed, frustrated, and hungry. I didn’t ask for help from people because that is not who I am. I kept quiet about my situation since 2020 because I didn’t want people to pity or mock me. I know a lot of people, but nobody helped me. At a point, I couldn’t pay my house rent again, which was N1 million, and I was struggling to eat.
"Right now, I have no car, and I owe a lot of people. The last time I had a car was in 2020. I need to pay my debts. I struggle to pay for the hotel I stay at now. I need shelter and a car, even if it is a jalopy. The money I am supposed to use for food, I use it to take Uber around,” she said.
