Friends advised us to quit music – Ajebo Hustlers
Nigerian Afrobeat and Highlife duo, Ajebo Hustlers, has revealed that some of their friends urged them to give up music because they weren’t originally making a fortune from it.
On the most recent edition of the Shopsydoo-hosted Afrobeats podcast, the “Barawo” singers made this revelation.
The Port Harcourt-born couple claimed that before they ultimately achieved popularity, they had to accept accommodations from several family members and friends as a result of their battle for fame.
They said that at one point they lived with K-Switch, the younger brother of musician D’banj.
They said, “We squatted with K-Switch in 2016. I’m no playing. 2017 nothing was popping. It was 2018, we were still trying to push and then we made a record in 2019 with King Perry. I think we were squatting somewhere then.
“That time we were squatting because music was not working and you now have friends that are telling you, omo, thus music is not working, you sure say you try enter street,”
"We squatted with Kayswitch at some point"
