In an interview on Akoma FM, the ace musician disclosed that he needed money badly to pay the school fees of one of his four children.
He added that even though he has tried his best to pay a huge page of the fees already, he did not have any money at home to pay the rest when his child came to inform him about the decision of the school to sack him of he did not pay the rest.
The “Makoma So Ade” hitmaker added that the only thing he felt was right to do after the son requested for the money was to sell some of the pendrives that has his songs on it to get the money.
He added that his current job as a mobile money agent does not fetch him much because he is working with a loan and as such the decision to sell in the streets of Asafo was the best thing to do.
