Despite his achievement,
Nigerian hip-hop singer Remilekun Abdulkalid Safaru, popularly known as Reminisce, says he regrets not being a graduate, despite his multi-million naira brand endorsements and hits.
”For anybody who wants to make a career out of music, you have to be sure that you are skilled and that it’s something that you can do sustainably; if not, go to school. Either ways, it is important to go to school, whether you go into full-time music or not. I actually regret not being a graduate,” he told Punch.
On keeping his family life private, the 36-year-old father of two and Edge Record boss said: ”I always keep my private life private as I believe that I have the right to my privacy.
”There is a very big difference between Reminisce, the artiste, and Remi, the family man. I thank God because I’m comfortable and I don’t need validation on social media. I don’t have to put everything I own on social media so that people would know that I have arrived. Inasmuch as I’m not begging anybody for food, it’s all good.
”Instead of flaunting material things, I prefer to invest in people.”
