Mr Eazi who is currently one of the most popular pop
stars in Nigeria at the moment has said he intends to
quit music in 2020.
The artiste made this known while fielding questions on
HipTV show, Street Hop.
The soft-spoken artiste says he considers his singing
career as short term and hopes to be like American Hip
Hop Icon, Jay Z, in the near future.
“Sincerely, I don’t plan on doing music for more than
three years further, In my mind I feel like I want to do
something more like a Jay Z, the music is giving me a
lot of capital which can be reinvested, the music is
giving me a lot of influence, so if in the next three
years, I’m able to get the numbers, you could use that
to do anything else in life, so I could even become a
speaker,” he said.
When asked what he would be doing if the music fails
to pay his bills, the singer who recently moved to
Nigeria having lived in Ghana since 2007, said, “I am a
serial entrepreneur, so I will move on to the next thing
depending on what I am passionate about at the time".
In the interview, the artiste whose real name is
Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, talks about how he wasn’t
expecting to win the 2016 HEADIES Next Rated award.
He also shared the inspiration behind his songs such as
DJ Spinall’s ‘Ohema’, in which he featured. He also
revealed that one of his exes is called Ohema.
In the very revealing interview, Mr Eazi also opened up
about walking away from many things in his life from
engineering to events, to distribution of products.
Meanwhile, Mr Eazi is currently working towards the
release of a mixtape titled“ Life Is Eazi: Accra 2
Lagos”in February.
The singer, who broke even in the Nigeria music
industry in 2016, is signed on with Wizkid’s StarBoy
Worldwide label. He is a Mechanical Engineering
