Usain Bolt is not happy with fans

In a recent interview, Bolt expressed his disappointment towards his fans and their reaction to his music stint. He said, “Even though I co-produced those albums, I didn’t feel like people took me seriously in the music lane; they still saw me as just an athlete. Putting together my own album seemed like a good way to show how serious I was about music.”

“If you’ve followed my career over the years, you’ve probably noticed that I’m always dancing and listening to music. It’s no secret to the world that I adore music. Music has always been a part of my DNA,” Bolt added.

Ever since he retired from his track career, he has made commendable in the music industry. Listening to legendary singers like Bob Marley and Barrington Levy, his inclination towards music increased. Channelizing his passion in the right direction, he produced a few music albums as well. However, it was disheartening to know that people still did not take him seriously.

A music icon in the making?

After bagging 8 Olympic gold medals, the sprinting legend has now made his mark in the world of music. ‘It’s a party’, in collaboration with NJ, was released earlier this year and has over 1.2 million views. Not only this, but he also produced another chart-topping album called ‘Country Yutes’ this September. Among others, ‘Living The Dream’ is yet another song that he created and won the audience’s hearts.

With almost 60 thousand people subscribing to his music videos on YouTube, Bolt’s music journey has already come a long way. However, after earning the highest accolades in track and field, can he win a Grammy for his work in the music industry?
