KSB: My Turn Around Story

For gospel singer, Kenny Saint Best aka KSB, there is no regret breaking up with her ex-husband, De Remedies’ star, Eddie Montana and the subsequent downturn her career witnessed after that.
In-a-no-holds barred chat with TS Weekend recently at her residence in Ikeja, Lagos, KSB declared that rather than be broken-hearted, she has emerged from the experience a better and stronger woman.

The musician who hit the limelight in 1998 with the release of her second album, Heaven’s Came Down also told TS Weekend that she’s working on a tell-all-book with the view to helping other women who have gone through similar experiences get back on their feet.
In her words: “If I was in America, the kind of drama I had around my marriage which culminated in a downturn in my career probably would have gotten me a movie deal. Somebody could have done a movie just like you had Tina Turner back in the day. But this is KSB. I am not giving anybody such rights to do a movie on me because the kids are involved.
“But it would be an honour that I put a book together for people to read through my journey and see how I really went down, how down I got and by the grace of God, how I was able to pick up myself from point zero and get to the top again.
“I started getting more awards, serious awards after my comeback. I fought my way back up so the story of Turn Around album isn’t just a turn-around story. It goes beyond the song and video; it’s a true-life story. The objective is to prove that no matter what you’re going through in life, you can move from point zero to become the hero.”
Despite the impact of the break up which took her off recording for five years and which also culminated in her inability to promote an album, KSB insists she has no regrets. “I have none at all,” she says with the confidence of a woman who knows her onions. And she gives reasons.
“If I have any regrets I would be writing another person’s story. I would not have any subject around my personality. Whatever it is I want to sing about will not be from the soul, from the heart, from experience. People will not be able to relate with it. When I sing, people relate with every line of my songs and that’s amazing. So, if I have any regrets, then every song I have written is fake.
