Singer and actress Nabila Razali, a veteran in the entertainment industry, has grown accustomed to online criticism over her 13-year-long career. However, she draws the line when her personal life is targeted. If people question her vocal abilities or say she skips singing lessons, that is acceptable, as she believes those issues can be addressed.
Yet, anything that tarnishes her family's honor deeply affects her. During a recent press conference for her new single, "Cukup Sampai Sini," in Kuala Lumpur, the 33-year-old artiste stressed that personal attacks have no bearing on her career.
Despite rarely reacting to casual online banter, Nabila refuses to remain silent when her family is targeted. She clarified that she will respond if someone crosses the line. Nabila suspects that some of her harsher critics might secretly enjoy her music. She joked that the individuals leaving hate comments might be listening to her songs.
Drawing attention to the subjective nature of musical taste, she said, "If you like my music, praise be to God. If you don't, that's fine too — there are plenty of other fish in the sea."
"Cukup Sampai Sini" carries an empowering message about self-worth and setting boundaries. Nabila collaborated with Justin Seow Seng Tack on composing the music and wrote the lyrics herself.
