Nigerian skitmaker Ogunleye Babatunde Olamide, known as Oluwadolarz, shared his experiences from his teenage years.
He revealed that he faced challenges after losing his father when he was just two years old. This loss made him take on adult responsibilities early in life
In a recent interview on the ‘WithChude’ podcast, the 30-year-old mentioned that he became the main provider for his family at the age of 11, worrying about their meals.
To help support them, he worked at the Dangote Cement factory in Ebute Metta after his music career hit some bumps in 2008.
“I was once a truck loader at Dangote Cement at Ebutee Metta. I was loading pasta,” he said.
“I lost my dad at a very early age like when I was 2 years old. But I had a stepdad who supported us. He died in 2015.
“I did not enjoy my childhood. I became a man at the age of 11. At that age, I was contemplating what the family would eat. I started music in 2008. It did not move at all.”
Oluwadolarz mentioned that in 2020, he was accused of rape, which caused him to lose jobs, suffer from depression, and fall into debt.
“On the rape allegation, I lost a lot of jobs. I was depressed because that was the same period I had my child. I paid a lot of debts because they wanted me to repay their money. They did not want to associate themselves with my brand,” he added.
