A visibly upset Tank took to his instagram page to vent at his fans for not supporting him, saying "Maybe I should have been born white then all my music would go straight to mainstream.”
Tank was so bitter about the outcome of this album that he claims he spent months to put together that he told fans they will never get another 'real' album from him. "Please enjoy my last real R&B album ‘Stronger’ cause you'll never get another one!”. What he wrote after the cut...

failure is not d falling down, but d staying down. What kinda baby is this!!! Hez nt even happy 16,000 pple bot it....d light he's using to record, does he knw Hw many tyms Thomas edison tried b4 he could succeed??? Mtscheew Unam ikod, okpolo.... don't improve on ur songs, be dere venting wat I Dnt knw... or better still, become a poet or a philosopher na??
That one concern him
6th album? Seriously I don't Know him (blame it on my love for Nigerian artistes). Relating the lack of his album sale to being black or something is a sign of insecurity
I am sure the album is lacking in terms of quality of the music, he should work on himself, work on his music and probably his record label should improve on how they promote his song and maybe his next album will be a hit.

Eiyaaaaa...stories that touches the heart and tickles the bombom...i feel sad for him though
Eeya
Na by force. Feel pity 4 him thou.
Eyah (big hug)I can only imagine how u feel.
Failing is allowed,but giving up is not allowed...
Sowie dude ...i will go and download it and listen, i hope that will boost the sale right ? lmao. Hes pained! Tank who again? The only tank wey me i know, na Armour Tank lmfao
hahaha feel for him... but you said 16thousand bought his song....
Eeyah...doh!
Folks no longer appreciate good music. Same thing that happened earlier in the year wen the TGT album didn't win any grammy...its saddening. I have the album and I love it.
Awwwn...*sobs* I feel your pain bro although I don't know you. You should be 'stronger' man. *runs to buy album*
Tank is a true R & B artist, but just like the case of Iyanya, to make money he had to leave good music and join others in making noise.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
E pele oooooooooo oga tank ndo. Abeg no vex and don't give up biki nu.
Booked
Awwww, I think this is the same problem Modenine is going through in Nigeria. He doesn't make mainstream music, hence poor record sales.
He should work hard the more or probably God is saying something..wants him to start gospeling.. With that his album will sell and lives will be touched. Hosea 10:12. BishopDammy#
oh! he's giving up already?.... make him come naija come see where artist they hustle to sell 16,000 cd!!
Eiya....I can imagine his frustration. Now is the era of d anacondas and co. People don't send good music anymore.U just hv to do what's in vogue if u must sell. But the guy funny sha,saying we'll never get a real album from him....like we should really be scared.lol
Eeyah sorry oo
Am hearing the name for the first time, if your song is good why won't people fall for it.
Think he should work more on himself if music is not going, definitely something else will
Someone said..."Attraction is not a choice, but a response"...never blame anyone for your failures..
Were dere is God okay!!!!! #DORO CLASSY#
eyaah, kpele sogbo
don't be despair trust in god with hardworking don't give up and give tank
He shouldn't just give up like dat. May be is because we don't know him and his music like dat. He should just stay focus continue to do wat he knows how to do best and do it wit passion. Be positive and enjoy wat u do bro it's not gonna be d same forever. Love u Tank.
Dude relax....all hustle must not pay
Eya dooh!!!! Lemme go and look for his song and download it.
Dude relax....all hustle must not pay
First of all , Who be this guy???
IGWE1 of Biafra
Seriously!!!!blaming the white man!!!lol.abeg we all humans 4get race if ur song gud E gud....!!!
18 thousand na Only ???... He tried na...

Lmao! There is nothing we won't hear. Does he think d human race will go into extinction if he doesn't release another album or what? I think its the other way round, he should work harder and beg people to buy his albums so he can fend for his family. Lol, d guy just cracked me up!

My dear singing its not for everybody, there are other things you can try your hands on; like boxing, its in you.
sorry tanker..we all want money too
Wow Tank so sorry ok such is life .
Just keep trying.
Wow! Sorry!
But seriously,who is tank?
They chop hin eye!
He has been so busy doing some licking with those lips he forgot is RnB lines
Ehya...
Is it the content that sells in America? The personality,controversy! that's what they're selling...market your self properly and your album will sell...by the way,I NEVER HEARD OF HIM!
eyah
Good radiance to bad rubbish...never liked his songs so, m not surprised he's not making sales...
He lacks originality n people can tell when u r just trying to make money, n when u r really enjoying what u do...that's d difference btw his album n d ones that seem to sell...
They enjoy what they do more than they care about d figures
Aww sad! But I love this guy's music na...too bad!
its a pity, I feel his pain but he should not give up
He should keep trying and never give up.being successful doesn't come easy
Tank? Never heard of him and besides he should ve had someone promote d album before it came out, he should learn from praiz and olamide. Let it be d last I no go still buy, tank ko molue ni
Pained. Buh I rmbr one of his songs frm back in d day MTVBase.
Uncle Tank,its just a challenge, you'll scale through! i wish you the best in furure
Eyah
Feel his pain, let him try another thingy
What is strong with this one, if the music is good it will sell itself.
Hahhhahahha...don't give up,keep pushing my brother
Lol @ u will never get anoda 1
ehyaaa!!
I feel 4 him oooo
im not in America na, i 4 buy!!
awwwwwww,cheer up. don't give up on your passion.
Who's tank?
Its so sad that Tank feels the way he feels....O am Tanks truly biggest fan and the group TGT too....I love your lyrics most especially the Stronger song.... its so inspiring and it does make me stronger whenever i listen to it....Tank please don't feel underrated cause i Know deep down inside of you; you got real soul.....don't give up TAnk....
There r so many blacks making it in the music industry so he shouldn't blame the sales on his color. Well i knew tank but tot he stopped singing a long while ago.
Eyaaaaaa!!! Tanks sounds frustrated. My 2 cents advice? Hook up with Etcetera...I'm sure he'd be glad to share how to manage a short lived career (in the music industry.)
aaw commmonnn i love tank hez one of my best rnb artist if nt d 1st,i dint knw he released ,wuld hav bought,i feel bad ryt now
Ehya! So touching.
Eheya that's the price you pay
Wat about West, J. Z, Brandy to mention a few abeg he should make good music and stop talking trash
Awwww...dont worry ds media stunt will increase d sales.. My man go bck nd continue doing wot u knw hw 2 do best
Sorry boo, these things happen sometymx. Don't be to hard on ur self and ur fans.
Truth is I don't even know this Tank guy. Smh.
I know him real well...He's good! I became a fan since my secondary school days, when he released his first album..titled "force of nature" and featured the hit single "maybe I deserve"..and since tgen he's been in the R&B scene with songs like "i cant make you love me"..:emergency" etc. A year ago he collaborated with tyrese and ginuwine to form a group called TGT..and delivered a superb R&B album titled "Three kings". I'll blame the poor success of his present album on lack of good promotion...I didn't even know myself he just released a new album. Too bad!
He reach like that? he need to realise that business has its up and down. no need venting his anger on fans. jacksoninem@yahoo.com
Awwwwwwwww,pele
Eyah
I think I fee his pain sha...bt ko to yen now...n we still discussed dis guy on Saturday o
Ehyaaa... sorry bro
Amakadarlyn@yahoo.com

Eyiya😒😞 I feel yo pain bro
Ehyaa. I feel his pains.
The world does not want good music anymore. We are in a chaotic world, therefore the world gravitates towards chaotic music
A photo of Ty Bello breastfeeding one of her twins
Lol, can't even remember any of his songs
Eyyah.. Sorry Tank.. Lol
LUCKY...
Ehya! Does he know I sell and rent houses in SA, has he supported me yet? This is hilarious! Sorry bro! Life is not fair!

Bros why you dey parra na! We no no you!!! Na today....

Sorry for him. Shit happens
sorry bro....but if people dont buy ur album u shouldnt blame them cos u didnt put the money in their pocket..
He should join the illuminati, he'll sell in millions. I love tank but his songs are the last I think of downloading. Lemme go download some
Eya sorry man.
Lol....to buy ur album na by force??? See D's man ooo
Jeez!this is funny but pathetic,hope he gets a platinum sales with this disclosure
Black people never support their own. I'm site the 16k he managed to attract are even white. Smh!
His face looks sooo familiar,is he an actor?
Jeez!this is funny but pathetic,hope he gets a platinum sales with this disclosure
eeya,lolz
Thank you very much for my LIB giveaway Linda; i got the 25k. God bless you. chisylvie@gmail.com
I feel ur pains Bro...Don't worry d rejected Stone would soon turn 2b d chief Cornerstone...#believe
He looks like the guy in that very old movie 'Preachers kid'. If it's him, I do not even like his face!! And not because of his role in the movie ,, nahh.. It's just a movie. But he looks distastefully arrogant and look how he brags even with nthing.. tueh. ----C21
Awwww I honestly feel sad for him I wish I could help him. Turn to God Tank He will listen.
Eiyah!!!! Am speechless!
Heaven on earth#
Ehya! Bro if you do good music everybody will buy your album, set up your A game bro. SUPERSLIMC4
Heyaa,it's not easy my brother
Lol eya
Eiya sorry.
LOL...AKA..GIVING UP
He's so not please
Eyaa...kpele
who send you message
Lol cos you will never get another one from me.Nawa oo na by force?
What a pity! Tank from the movie preacher's kid with letoya luckett.had no idea he was a real musician.sorry 4 him tho!
Ehya.... But who send you tank...
Yekpa!!!! It pained a brother... Lmao
Eyaaa sorry o,hin & praise come resemble
I love you Tank, btw there are people who know him. He is part of TGT and he has acted in a few movies
Kip struggling man, it's not the end of the world.
Touching but he sounds kinda harsh as well, U can't force people to buy what they don't enjoy! He should rather work harder to get to people rather than telling them he should have been white! Go and bleach naw *mshewww* u don't lose hope as an artiste, Oritshafemi took time to blow naw, no be so! Ogbeni, farabale joor
@gr8akin
Too bad.
This should bring him out into the spot light.
Eeya. Come and sign for a top label in 9ja
Confession of an angry black man
Shey Na by force to buy ur album Mr. Tank
Lmao you guys should watch "preacher's kid" and relate it to this he was also the main actor in preachers kid
Sorry oh
Smh that's so sad tho...buy this guy song jor
Eyaaaa
Wow... that really got to him... poor guy.. I guess he just doesn't sing, look, write, perform than dam near everybody like he thinks he does...
Nice. Quite touching too. The part that's not reasonable to me is the racial part. "Maybe I should have been born white then my music goes to main stream..." Mr. Tank, there are plenty black r n b singers who have sold platinum and gone main stream. It's a shame when a black man blames his downfall or failure on the colour of his skin. That's really pathetic to me. Mac10...
I think have seen this guy in a movie before.........., ehn>>>(cracking brain)< Yeah the preachers kid movie, he was quite a character,never knew he was a singer officially
Make he no vex his music no make sense dats y dem no buy am make dem no go waste money
Wetin concern us....pple has through things greater than dis ur dissappointment ...so just wake up focus nd stop lamenting...u can still become a white through suggery....mtcheeewww ewu..to buy album Na by force
Anasalexander3562@gmail.com
Ah feel for him tho... The same utterances he subtly made in "The preacher's kid." Sad truth is that young folks don't listen to real music no more.... junk and garbage err where. Now I just wanna get d album and listen to it.
So sad, this man is 1 of d very talented ones in d industry, amazing voice, real RnB singer. Unfortunately real RnB is DEAD! Usher does Pop, thts y he's stil doin good. Tyrese, Ginuwine, Bobby V & few other real RnB cats nt relevant anymore. He needs to make d kind of music people wanna listen to. Same as Praiz here in 9ja, he had to switch style.

I don't even feel bad for him, hardwork pays, even newboy August Alsina has a good R n B album out there. He should collaborate with the big boys more often. @McPapillo
Eh Yaa! na exactly wetin make Iyanya sing kukere be this..a beg make Tank's self sing Kukere jor people must dance and buy, who does r&b again in this 21st century
Eayaa. But u really can't force people to buy what doesn't appeal to them. Pele tieee
He should stick to his acting career
Bros, U ar nt destine with music.
Ekiti boy say so
The blame is still with the record label for not promoting him. How will the fans know about the album if the label is not marketing it? The competition is fierce. Fans need more than a pity party or to stay interested in an artist.
hehehe! my friend no kno say u av to sell ur soul 2 d devil before u can makes sales abi he fink say na yam.
i know Tank.. and i love his music.. i am a die hard fan of deep R&B. i thought he joined ties wit TYRSES..GuinWine. #TGT. Well nobody is really into R&B these days.. the likes of Chris Brown, Usher, Avant,Trey songz.. they do all little mix wit the HiP pop side.
16 thousand for me is not bad. Just dat dis foreign artists are sincere. If na Naija, they go tel us say na 10million copies they sale. Tank dont worry, dis ur angry note wil boom u now.
no be only TANK..DRUM nkor??
Ôh dear......
We all get tired at some point. trying to be better for the world to be a better place but sometimes good people face the most horrible challenge. Just get up and do it again and again. That's the only way to be successful. Dude, this is the fourth defense of my MSc project, those who don't understand it keep shooting me down but I WON'T GIVE UP. I will give it all it takes. I will keep defending it until they understand it. Keep your dream alive.
Wooow! He acted a movie one time and it was d same story. I remember well, he was an artist and he got dropped in d movie
The tank has bust,feels very bitter for not supporting his debut album.Let show him some love so that he will not commit suicide.
Shuo! Wetin person no go hear for dis world!!! Blaming his epic failure on skin colour is a disgrace when there are so many black artist rocking hollywood. He's just not good enough or there is something not working well for him. Linda if u like eat dis comment too,I dey count am for u.
Ehya it's the same everywhere even in my country Naija. All we buy and listen to are mainstream junks and later complain of no more real music.
Aww tank! I feel bad for him. His songs are very nice. He really is a good artiste. Hopefully this letter is gonna encourage his fans to support him.
U be Eyen akwa ibom....nice to see u here...#inamikod
Tank is one of the best R n B singers I have ever known. He is that good. Painfully, this generation hardly appreciates good music. Hope his fortunes change.
Broda...i feel ur pain...the new genre of dis days is killn the real R n B....just stay thru to d game...nd do wat u always enjoy doin....#Django
Shuo! Wetin person no go hear for dis world!!! Blaming his epic failure on skin colour is a disgrace when there are so many black artist rocking hollywood.

welcome to the real world dude
He he no b by force na..&
DURRH...blacks make waves
e.g kanye,jayz,Alicia....
Dnt gv up bro. Come 2 naija
@dgudwife *I lyk*
Who's this dude and why is he sounding so harsh like he wants people to buy his album by force,nawao notin man no go see 4dis life.
King of BoyZ
story for d gods
Its like atomic kitten or anastasia dropping a new album and expecting massive sales.
HIS HIT SONG , "ONE MAN" MAKES SENSE NOW BUT HAVENT HEARED ANYTHING 4M HIM SINCE THEN
And d guy is gud,my favourite..."please dont go".he has a great voice nd d looks to go wit it...
Respect you to Tank. One of the few realest and purest R&B musicians that ever existed. For some of y'all who never knew him... well, that's ok. You cant know everyone. But for deep music listeners, you cant miss his renditions. Many musical artists have trained and improved themselves while scoring Tank's songs. Bro you have personally touched my live in so many ways and i'll buy/download whatever you sing till eternity. "SOMES FANS BE LIKE HOES.. THEY AINT LOYAL"
Na by force. Just maybe it was a bad album. Jay z and many black artists do well so not a black or white thing.
Maybe the song lack inspiration
"Tanks" or wateva, work harder.
terrytega Deniran... WTF u saying?! Typing in senseless pidgin just does my head in!
I don't even know him.
Na real bad market be dat. I feel Sorry for him sha.
