Nigerian singer and businessman Mr Eazi has responded to long-running assumptions about his background, saying he never claimed to come from poverty or the streets.

According to the “Leg Over” hitmaker, many people online created that narrative themselves because of his calm personality and hustle journey in music. He explained that he actually grew up in a comfortable home and had access to good education from an early age.

“Some Nigerians on Twitter said they thought I came from the ghetto. Bruh, I have never come out to lie that I came from a poor home,” he said.

Mr Eazi also revealed that he attended the prestigious Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Ghana before later earning a master’s degree from Coventry University in the UK.

The singer further shared that he was already involved in business long before fame, saying he started selling gold in Ghana at just 19 years old. Many fans now say his entrepreneurial mindset makes more sense considering his background and business exposure.

Some social media users praised him for being honest instead of forcing a fake “from the trenches” story just to gain sympathy online. Others pointed out that even though he didn’t come from poverty, he still worked hard to build his career independently.

👉🏽 Do you think fans sometimes expect every successful artist to have a “grass-to-grace” story? Or is honesty about privilege becoming more respected now?

I don't know the yardstick you used to conclude he's from the getho oh but his father captain ajibade is a millionaire who makes his money from airlines. He has chopper to do his business from Lagos to port Harcourt. He has his office both in Lagos and sango ota and my office at my former place of work share the same building with his father and the building is his father's own and not rented. His father didn't have the kind of money the otedolas has but he is rich far above average Nigerian. He even threw his hat into governorship race of Ogun state at some point in time.

Knust is the equivalent of unilag, for your parents to send you there, it means you are eating well at least more than the almajiri.

Op, you lied with this lines
"The singer further shared that he was already involved in business long before fame, saying he started selling gold in Ghana at just 19 years old".
Its the 90's Baby podcast that you came up with this post but Tosin never said he sold gold at 19 or was he in Ghana as of age 19.
Tosin said him and his cousin got a contract from MTN Nigeria to supply diesel worth 19 Million while he was 19/20 years old and as of this said age, he was in Nigeria and not Ghana and besides he was even done with University educate before going into the gold business.
