Why I Walked Away From Music, And Relocated To The US – Veteran Rapper, Eldee (Video)
Sikirullahi Olanrewaju Dabiri, also known as Eldee the Don, a Nigerian hip-hop artist, has disclosed why he left music and migrated from Nigeria.
Former Trybesmen member stated he left the nation to “clear” his thoughts after being “scammed” by an advising agency that accepted money from investors and told them it was being invested in his music.
Some of his team members had left their families in other countries to come to Nigeria to work on the project, only to be disappointed.
In his words:
“What happened was that, Shayman introduced me to a gentleman called Tonye Akindele, who at a time had a capital advisory firm. What they do is to look for business to invest in. They have people who fund those portfolios.
“So they approached me for a partnership. And I accepted. But unbeknown to me, what was happening was him [Tonye Akindele] and his partner had the people who were funding the record label but the label was not getting money. I was still funding my music.
The rapper revealed this while speaking on the newest episode of the King of Talks podcast, presented by comedian Teju Babyface.
Eldee claimed it took him nearly a year to realize he was being duped after amassing massive debts.
