Lagos State University before lack of funds took
charge, then he took to music where he has prospered.
He revealed in an interview with the Nigerian Tribune
that he has returned back to school to chase his dream
of becoming a lawyer.
The interview;
Would you trade your being famous for something else
if you look at some of the bad side of fame that you
have experienced over time?
Yes, I will love to trade fame with some silent life that
does not arrogate too much attention to one, but it has
got nothing to do with any bad experience. No matter
what you do or who you are, there's always a difficult
time and life challenges that you can't run away from.
But I will really love to trade because I wish to be a
lawyer.That has always been my dream.
Do you think life would have been different for you
should you have been a lawyer?
Honestly, life as a normal person is fine and more
wonderful, free, fair and peaceful. But as a public
figure, you enjoy more and you pay more in terms of
the price you pay for being famous. If I come to this
world again, I would prefer normal life.
You were said to have pulled out of your Law
programme at the Lagos State University to face
music. That decision paid off, but you seem not to be
happy about it now?
I didn't pull out because of music; I left school because
I was unable to pay my school fees. While I was on the
street, I gave hundred percent of my life to music and it
paid off eventually.
When I was in school, I was just doing music for fun
until I left school. At that point, I decided that I was
going to face music passionately and from that point,
things changed.
Why did you choose Law that time?
I chose law because of my background to fight for the
less privilege, protect the interest of the masses and
uphold the right of the individuals.
Your decision to leave school wouldn't have gone down
well with your parents, how did they react to it and
what was constantly coming to your mind back then?
It was not an easy decision to make. There were days
that I had to live in the studio. Talking about my
parents' reaction, I had to lie for a while, pretended as
if all was well. Before my parents knew I wasn't in
school, it was too late to complain because I was
already on TVs, making money and rocking shows all
around.
Would you consider going back to school someday?
I'm in school already, studying public safety and
Common Law at Capella university. It is an online
programme. I can't think of any other course except
law.
