In other news, Nigerian rapper Vector has shared insights into his upbringing, highlighting the support he received from his parents in pursuing his aspiration to become a rapper.
In a recent interview with media figure Chude Jideonwo on the With Chude show, Vector discussed how his formative years contributed to his resilient outlook and life philosophy.
He explained, “My childhood has put me in that ‘whatever the weather, what I want to do is what I do’ mindset. Plus, I was detached and stubborn, like my mum and grandma would say. I was the one that would always ask, ‘Why do the Yoruba people always say the elders are always right?’ and I’d be like, ‘That’s a lie.“
Vector acknowledged his parents for their equitable parenting style, noting that they treated all their children equally, including his sister, who suffers from sickle cell anemia.
He added, “I learnt how to self-reflect. You know, African parents are usually on default mode of parenting, so they liked everyone. I think they did their best not to show who their favourite was because in my house is a sickle cell warrior. You’d have thought she got the most care because she’s a warrior, and to show you how dope the care is, she has 2 children now. They had no favourites, and they dealt with us as we were.”
“At a point in the house, they even started calling me Vector the viper because that’s what I identified with. Even my brother is a DJ and they’d call him that. So my parents were kind of free but they made you work for what you believed in and what you needed or wanted to do. I felt loved regardless and I think I grew up sheltered, not sheltered in the sense of a silver spoon though,” he concluded.
