“I’ve been globally ridiculed a couple of times, I’m not going to say what it is but it rhymes with ‘cape’. The irony.

 

“I also failed Principles of Finance at this very university when I was graduating.”

 

She noted that despite the struggles, she has succeeded in becoming a “leading figure” in Afrobeats.#
