May 08, (THEWILL) – Nigerian singer, Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman, aka Oxlade, has revealed that he ran away from home to pursue his music career.
The singer made this known in a recent interview with TMC. According to the artiste, he had to leave his family because his father, who is a lecturer, did not support his musical career.
He disclosed that he had to sell bus tickets and food at parties to make ends meet while he pursued his dreams.
“Honestly, he [my dad] was indifferent at first. But my stubbornness and consistency paid off.
“I ran away from the house at some point in my life to pursue music personally. And I had to do all sorts of stuff to survive. Selling bus tickets and selling food at parties.”
He added that the experience he had in the trenches shaped him to make better decisions in life.
