Nigerian indigenous rapper, Olamide may be enjoying the trappings of fame and fortune at the moment, but unknown to many, the serial hit maker had to drop of school when he couldn’t pay his school fees.
Olamide made this known on Friday when he was a special guest of honour at the Summer camp organized by the Ogun State government at Akin Ogunpoola Model College, Akinale in Ewekoro Local Government Area of the state .
In his words: “I am from Ogun State here, I do not joke with my culture and language, infact I came from a poor background. I had to drop out of Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijagun, Ijebu Ode, when it was getting difficult for my parents to pay my school fees. However with doggedness, perseverance and hard work I was able to find myself where I am today.”
The self-proclaimed baddo urged the pupils to always dare to be different and avoid needless peer pressure.
