In an interview with
Sun News,
9ice says he plans to quit music to concentrate fully on politics
because he can't be singing at 35. He can't? What he said below...
Yes, I want to leave music for politics. Next year January, I will be
35-years-old and I’m not praying to still be in music at that age. I am
serious about politics now. If you listen to my music, you would notice
that politics has been part of me; it’s in my blood. When I started
initially, I talked about being your brother’s keeper, and that’s why I
studied Law at Lagos State University before I dropped out to
concentrate on my music career. I hate when things go wrong. When two or
three people are having issues, I love to get there to settle their
differences. I have passion for politics and it has always been in my
blood."
If you go fully into politics, most of your friends and fans will miss you?
I will say they will love me more by the time they see the plans that
I have for them. I have so many plans on my mind. Imagine if the late
Fela Anikulapo-Kuti was a politician, he will not just criticize the
mistakes of our leaders but also correct them. Imagine if Wole Soyinka
was to be the president of this nation, people like him are only
preaching the truth and criticising the government but they are not
ready to get into politics to make corrections. I am tired of preaching,
I want to contribute my own quota for the sake of my people. We have
graduates riding commercial motorcycles (okada), selling meat etc, their
certificates are not being used but they are shouting that the
government is not doing well. There can’t be any change if the youths
don’t stand-up now to do something to help the country.
