I’ll fish you out – Reminisce issues stern to trolls against dragging his family

Nigerian rapper Reminisce has expressed his desire for his children to pursue paths outside of music, contrary to his own career choice.

During a recent appearance on the Pulse On The Record podcast, where he was joined by fellow artist Vector the Viper, Reminisce discussed various aspects of their profession. He articulated his concerns regarding the music industry, emphasizing its unpredictable nature and the challenges it presents.

“No, I don’t want my children to do music, and I don’t think they should. I’m not speaking as an African parent; I’m speaking from my experience,” he stated.

As a father of two, he compared the music industry to professional football, noting that only a select few ultimately achieve success.

He explained, “The thing is, music is crazy. You can be the most talented person and end up with nothing; it’s like football. I have friends whom I used to play football with, and some of them ended up having professional deals, and I have people who are 43 like me and are still hoping to get something.”

He emphasized that should his children choose to pursue a career in music, he would provide his support, provided they first complete their education.

“It might never happen, and so what I would say is, ‘Fine, get yourself a basic education first that you can pursue.’ So if it ends up coming, fine, and if it doesn’t, fine. But to say that I start pushing them tonight from the onset, no, because it’s really tough. Its crazy so I would prefer to put you on the right path but the primary thing, the education, get that first. If you want to pursue it, I would support you. But music at as a first choice? No. It is rough and difficult; it is less than 5% of people that make these things.”

For every Ronaldo you see, there are 9000 people who didn’t make it. Hey, the basics are done first to have something to fall back on in case it doesn’t work out. I’m not going to convince any child to say it’d work out for them because it worked out for me. It may never happen,” he concluded.
