Duki, one of the most important figures in Argentine trap, is currently on an international tour and has just released a new album. In the midst of this great professional moment, the singer found himself at the center of controversy due to a series of statements.
Everything arose from an interview with the streaming channel Hispa. There, the singer addressed topics such as anxiety, the search for identity, and the pressure to achieve fame.
Throughout the interview, Duki questioned the motivations behind choosing certain careers. "I know you think you want to be Justin Bieber, because now everyone wants to be famous. They choose music because they want to be famous, or they want to be a streamer, influencer... People want to be famous because they see other people's lives and think that's what's cool," he said.
The artist also shared a critical view of the entertainment world and the pressure it entails. "I don't know, most of the famous people I know, I don't know if they're happy. I don't think any of them are," he stated.
He then contrasted that perception with his closest circle: "For me, the people I see when I return home are happy: my friends, my family. People who have their plate of food, their family, who maybe don't make it to the end of the month, but have what they really need to live."
However, one of the most talked-about segments was when he referred to mental health and the way young people deal with anxiety. "You have to treat it, but don't just stay in that 'Oh, I embrace anxiety and think I'm misunderstood and that the world is difficult'," he said.
Para el cantante las nuevas generaciones se frustran muy rápido
Toward the end, he left a warning about the professional future of new generations: "If we keep going like this, in 20 years there won't be any doctors. It's crazy, but it's true. Everyone will want to be what others are. No one will want to be a street sweeper or work at a kiosk. That is also part of life."
