JAKARTA - Australian singer Iyah May shows that she as a musician is free to speak up through her works, even if it harms her own music career.

As is known, May consistently calls for social issues through his work. Through a song called Karmageddon which was released last November, he expressed his support for Palestine by discussing the genocide committed by Israel.

The work, which went viral on social media, was seen as problematic by the label, including its own manager.

Due to a difference of opinion, the manager immediately terminated the contract with May. The manager just left it alone.

"I separated from my manager, I left the label because my manager disagreed with the lyrics in the song (Karmageddon) and refused to work with me," May said, citing TikTok's video upload, Friday, January 10.

"He will only support me if I want to change the lyrics," he continued.

May clearly rejected the manager's request to change the lyrics that called Israel's actions in Gaza an act of genocide.

"I am grateful to have released Karmageddon. In the midst of all obstacles, this song remains in the ears of listeners. Being yourself completely is a form of the most free-free love," he said.

"Talking the truth even though many oppose is far more meaningful than sacrificing integrity," he concluded.
