Singer Jackie Chandiru has weighed in on the growing trend of musicians openly aligning themselves with political camps, a move she believes often comes at a steep cost to their careers and fan loyalty.
Speaking candidly on the subject, Jackie stressed the importance of keeping music and politics in separate lanes.
In her view, artists carry a responsibility to remain neutral, warning that political allegiance can quickly fracture an otherwise united fan base.
“The artists who have decided to take sides are not right,” she said. “You’re supposed to separate music from politics. When you choose a side, just know you’re automatically losing part of your fan base.”
Jackie explained that music is meant to bring people together, regardless of personal beliefs, and once politics enters the picture, that unifying power is weakened. Fans, she noted, come from diverse backgrounds and ideologies, and taking a political stance risks alienating those who simply want to enjoy the art.
According to the singer, an artist’s true calling lies in their craft, not political affiliations.
She urged musicians to stay focused on what they do best: creating music, performing for their audiences, and earning a living through their talent.
