The ‘Ku lo sa’ crooner disclosed that he had to sell bus tickets and sell 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 foods at parties.”
Recalling that he is from the ‘streets of Surulere’ in Lagos, he boasted that “if one can survive in Surulere, one can survive anywhere.”
Oxlade went on to say that his experience in the “trenches” prepared him to make good decisions in life.
