“Aren't you glad people are trying to do something with their lives? The pie is big for everyone. Everyone wanted to be a doctor at one point; it's life. It's not deep, let's move on from this narrative of discouraging people to do what they want.
Inno then sent a message and asked people to let young people be themselves.
Inno on the challenges he has faced as a DJ
In an exclusive interview with Briefly News, Inno Matijane openly discussed her belief that her sexuality is hindering her chances of securing a significant opportunity in her career.
"I feel like navigating the music industry for me has been very challenging. I’ve made Amapiano hits that people enjoy, but I’m not getting the same breakout as those who would do the same as I do, and I always blame it on my sexuality. I always feel like if I was a straight male, for the number of hits I’ve released and have trended, I would’ve had big collaborations right now like we see it happen with Piano, so it makes me feel not good enough.
"I find that people tend to be less accepting of me as a DJ. I’m not taken seriously, and it’s always linked back to my sexuality sometimes."
Inno speaks on debut Amapiano hit song
