Afrobeats sensation Zinoleesky has shared the challenges he faced on his journey to stardom, revealing how he defied expectations to pursue his passion for music.
Speaking during an interview on SB Live, the singer recounted how he left home at a young age to chase his musical dreams, despite resistance from his parents who, like many Nigerian families, preferred conventional career paths.
“Nigerian parents are always in denial when you want to do things like music,” he said. “I started freestyling when I was very young. I didn’t want to sound like anyone else. You just have to find a way. Me, I did some crazy stuff. I ran away from home to do music.”
