Oxlade: Why I Ran Away From Home

Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman, better known as Oxlade, has revealed that he ran away from home to pursue his music career.

 

The ‘Ku lo sa’ crooner disclosed this in a recent interview with TMC.

He revealed that he had to engage in menial jobs to survive after he absconded from home.

 

He said: “Honestly, he (my dad) was indifferent at first. But my stubbornness and consistency paid off (laughs).

“I ran away from the house at some point in my life to pursue music personally. And I had to do all sorts of stuff to survive. Selling bus tickets and selling foods at parties.”

He added that the experience he had in the ghetto helped him make better decisions.
