The singer, a cast member of the all-new season of the GH Queens reality TV show, said there are times when she goes home crying after performing on stage.
S3fa's vulnerable moment was captured as part of the second episode of the third season.
She shared her ordeal after the reality TV show's cast, which includes Efia Odo and Coco Trey, embarked on a soul-searching therapy.
"It's really sad when you find yourself in a space where too many people have their eyes on you. You can't fully express yourself. You're being drained so much, but you expected to give and give. People don't realise, you're human too."
According to the E Choke hit-maker, there are times when she forces herself to perform and entertain fans despite being in an emotionally bad spot.
"They expect you to just be happy. There have been so many times when I'm not myself and I don't feel like singing. But I'll go on stage to dance for people, only to come home and be crying to my mum."

During the GH Queen episode, S3fa poured out her raw emotions, questioning God why her struggles linger despite pushing the right buttons.

"It's not easy. What you guys usually see on TV is like 40 per cent," the singer added.
