- Nigerian Singer, Mr Eazi, speaks on his passion before he became a musician

- He said he has contemplated quitting music too many times
Nigerian music sensation, Mr Eazi, recently opened up about his true feelings towards pursuing a career in music.
Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, better known by his stage as Mr. Eazi, has admitted that he never intended to be a musician.
Contrary to popular belief, it turns out that he never harbored a burning desire to dive into the world of melodies and harmonies.
Mr Eazi claimed that music just sort of found him.
After performing at Coachella in 2019, just three years into his music career, he claimed he thought about giving up music because he didn’t feel fulfilled.
He revealed this in a recent interview with media personality Angela Lee.
The musician claimed he chose to branch out into technology to lessen the musical tiredness he was going through.
In his words:
“I have a tech company called Zagadat Capital. And this was like me being bored of music.
After performing at the Coachella in 2019. I played on the first day of Coachella, I came down from the stage and I felt nothing. No happiness. No sadness.
“For somebody who never wanted to be an artist, and third year of my career, I’m playing Coachella and I felt nothing.
“So, for me, it was a sign I would either have to quit music and go do something else. Because that was not a good feeling to have or I needed to pause. Maybe I was experiencing burnout.
And when COVID hit, it was the first time I paused and tried to decide what would be the next move. I had started Empawa so I was getting to understand the music business.
“But I was tired of even listening to music. How can you run a music business without listening to music? So, I just had my team handle that.
“I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur and now the music has given me access to people and capital, so I was like, okay, I’m gonna start my fund like Jay-Z.”
