Why I dumped my $6000 job for music – Mr Eazi

Nigerian singer, Mr Eazi has revealed why he

went into music.

In an interview with Beat Fm, the singer

revealed he had to dump his job which paid

him about six thousand dollars per month in

order to find fulfillment in music.

According to him, his family hated him for

leaving his job but love him now since his

breakthrough after his first two shows in

London.

“After I came back from Ghana, I got a job in

oil and gas in Port Harcourt that paid about six

thousand dollars per month but I quit because I

was not finding fulfillment in it. I mean it was

the same thing everyday, the same routine

over and over again.

“The decision to quit the job finally hit me

when my boss’ wife left him even with all the

money he had.

“After I left my job, I got my Masters degree

and with all that qualification, I started selling

phones in computer village and everyone

thought something was wrong with me.

“Even my mother started praying special

prayers for me but my father didn’t add that

final voice that would have decided my fate.

‘My break finally came after I got an invite to

do two shows in London that made me twelve

thousand pounds which I used to shoot two

videos. When I told my mother what I did with

the money, she stopped talking to me for about

three weeks.

“I had to move in with a friend because even

my relatives didn’t want me around but

everything finally changed when I went back to

London for shows that fetched me really good

money.”

The ‘Leg Over’ crooner admitted he is in a

relationship with Temi Otedola, daughter of

billionaire, Femi Otedola.
