Nigerian singer, Euphemia Ekumah, popularly known as GoodGirl LA, has opened up about her struggle with depression and how the isolation that followed it transformed her life.
The singer, who has been quiet for some time now, shared that she was dealing with depression in isolation, but she turned it into power by focusing on self-mastery and transmutation.
The Bless Me crooner revealed that during that period, she turned down offers that many artists were desperate to get because she didn’t want to sell her soul.
She stated that some people called her “crazy,” and her friends looked down on her because she refused to compromise.
She said even her parents called her “a failure,” which changed her view on what’s important to her.
The 28-year-old added that her priority is making music and touching lives.

“I had periods of unavoidable isolation and just shit, so I charged it. I focused on self-mastery and transmutation, all the while saying no to certain opportunities that nggas would kill for because I stand for something. I know what I want and where I’m going, and I won’t sell my soul just to belong and keep up appearances. Nggas called me crazy lol but I am—I’m a f*cking genius.
“In that period, my ‘friends’ started to look down on me and pretty much just shenked me. Bruh, even my own parents did too and called me a failure. It changed my view on what’s really important. I’ve seen how the world treats a young girl that’s tryna achieve greatness. The cheers and boos aren’t what any of this is about. It’s really all about art, touching my Gs and the world…”
