US rapper Wale explains why he's never been to Nigeria until now
In a radio chat with Toolz on Beatfm yesterday, Wale
said the reason he's never been to Nigeria until now was
because his parents, who are both from Ondo state,
were so poor they couldn't afford a bring him home.
"I grew up poor. We lived in DC, in the projects.
Getting a ticket to Nigeria on $20, 000 income
yearly, to my family that wasn't really... you
know...like I was a 15 year old with a decent job, I'm
not going to save up to go to Nigeria. That wasn't
what I was thinking when I was that age. And then
I was in college and the money tight right then. And
then I get this record deal when I dropped out of
school, you're running around so much you don't even
have time to see your own parents"
