Entertainer Trinidad Killa opened up during an Instagram Live, stressing that he cannot depend on music alone to make a living. He explained that while a hit song may bring hype for a short time, once that hype fades, so does the income.
“That’s why I selling food,” he said, noting that branching out into business is essential for survival. According to Trinidad Killa, too many artistes believe a single hit will sustain them, but reality shows the industry can be unpredictable and unforgiving.
His remarks highlight the tough reality of the music business in Trinidad and Tobago, where many entertainers are now diversifying their income to ensure stability.
While some artistes continue to enjoy lasting success, observers suggest that factors such as spending habits, attitude, and relationships within the industry may also influence an entertainer’s ability to sustain a career.
