Nigerian singer Tobechukwu Victor Okoh, popularly known as Peruzzi, has revealed why he can’t sing or write about the suffering of Nigerians.
It is no longer a new thing that many Nigerian singers write their songs from some of the challenges they have faced, the situation of Nigeria and their current lifestyle.
However, Peruzzi seemed different about the kind of music and lyrics he churns out to his fans in Nigeria and outside Nigeria.
In a post shared on the microblogging platform Twitter, Peruzzi said he can’t sing about what he can’t experience and can’t write about suffering.
He wrote: I can’t sing about what I can’t experience. I can’t write about suffering
Kemi FIlani News recalls that Peruzzi revealed he will not be singing forever.
When Peruzzi appeared on Joey Akan’s ‘Afrobeats Intelligence,’ he stated this.
He and his wife and two children will move to Malibu, California, where he will “smoke his weed in peace,” according to him.
In his words: “Like my mum used to say: ‘Even if you no know where you dey come from, no forget where you dey go. I feel like you can’t just be existing. You have to be living. In the sense that, you have to be about something.”
“And me, I’ve always known where I want to be, I can tell you where I want to settle down; Malibu, California. I just want to be there smoking my weed in like six years from now with my wife and my two kids.”
“I already know everything I want in this life. I know because I feel like you’re supposed to know. If not, why are you living? Why are you working? Why am I even singing? Am I singing because I want to be singing forever?”
“I can’t be singing forever now. I’m singing because after singing, I have to do something. I have to be somewhere.”
“I have to say ‘yes, this is what my life turned out to be.’ From going to primary school, going to high school, going to uni, it has to result in something. It would be no use for me living if I don’t have a destination.”
