The singer, who is now gaining attention globally, said it was a hard choice to make for him as he needed finances for school and needed time for music production

The Nigerian Afrobeats star, made this revelation during an interview with DW The 77 Percent in Germany recently. 

The ‘Attention’ crooner in a recent interview with DW opened up on the reason he dropped his tertiary education after six months was to concentrate on his music career.

The 25-year-old explained that he had to pick between creating time to make music and schooling which did not come cheap.

He, however, revealed that as things started to become big for him in the music industry, he could not go back to school, but hopefully he wish to come back again when he get deep into music production and have global fanbase.

 

 “I was in the university for like half a year, (6 months) and I stopped. I just dropped out. Yeah, it was a hard choice to make because at that time I was just learning music production and I needed financing for school. I needed time for music production.

 

“Somehow, I just loved music production so much I could let go of school for music production. I felt like maybe sometime I will come back but when I got really deep into music production, I didn’t go back to school, and I didn’t even have the time.

 

“At some point, it felt like a wrong choice, but then, things started clicking, I started making beats that I love, that people wow. I started writing songs for people and people didn’t believe that that was me, and I just kept doing it until I found myself in Germany right now. I’m here right now, I’m doing this interview right now.”
