Afrobeats singer Magixx has shared his thoughts on why many people fail to reach their full potential — and it has nothing to do with talent.

Speaking in a recent interview on HipTV’s Trending, the Mavin Records star said that fear of embarrassment is one of the biggest obstacles standing in the way of people’s success.

“If you’re afraid of embarrassment, you will never make it in life,” he stated boldly.

Magixx explained that a lot of people have the potential to thrive but are held back by the fear of making mistakes or being judged by others. He believes this lack of confidence prevents them from stepping out and owning their space.

“People always say there’s someone better out there. But the truth is, if that person is in a certain position, it’s because they deserve it. God doesn’t make mistakes.”

He added that while many assume there’s “a lot of talent out there,” most people fail to channel their gifts properly — not because they aren’t good enough, but because they allow self-doubt to win.

“Talent isn’t plenty outside. If talent was plenty, people would have seen it. Many people mismanage their blessings.”

The rising star’s message encourages fans and dreamers to be bold, take risks, and stop worrying about what others might think — because real success often begins where fear ends.
