\u201cI was coming from a naive, God-fearing family and I went into the world of adults and I was thrown into a jungle and people did not care if I was 16, they attacked me.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe industry was hostile. I would be performing and they would turn off my microphone because the A-list artist doesn\u2019t like me.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was one day I looked at my Mum and told her \u2018you taught me everything about love but you did not teach me to hate\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know why she did not, but the truth is there is hate in the world, so I went into the industry thinking everybody loved everybody. I didn\u2019t understand that hate,\u201d Mo\u2019Cheddah said.<\/p>\n
Mo\u2019Cheddah also stated that she did not fully understood why people did not want to hear her side of the story when she left Knighthouse records.<\/p>\n
The \u201cKo Ma Roll\u201d crooner left the record label in February 2012 due to irreconcilable differences and founded her own label, Mo\u2019Cheddah music afterwards.<\/p>\n
However, she could not release her second album, which was due in 2016, amidst the controversies that had trailed her career for a long time.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the issues, she said, \u201cThe day I won the Channel O award, that was around when Twitter came out and people I knew started dragging me online.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople started asking why I won the award, people starting questioning me and carrying stories around me.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat broke me was that when I left my label. People chose to pick sides and obviously it wasn\u2019t mine.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt as if I had failed, especially because I had thought that business will pick up. They had so much hate for me.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey started bad-mouthing me to people, to companies, to producers, so I was kind of blacklisted.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey wanted to do everything in their power to ruin me and I felt God forsook me, sadness consumed me,\u201d Mo\u2019Cheddah said.<\/p>\n
She further revealed that it was at that point that she became very depressed and contemplated suicide.<\/p>\n
Mo\u2019Cheddah said, \u201cI googled \u2018there is this darkness inside me\u2019 and I saw a lot of people had it, they were talking about depression.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe only reason I did not kill myself, first, I didn\u2019t know how I will kill myself. I thought about it so many times.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought of drowning myself in third Mainland bridge, at times I wanted it to be quick, so I will be praying that God should just kill me.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll I had to do was understand that as long as I was at peace with this person, every other thing will be OK. I live to be happy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
