“I Was Popular Yet Broke”, 9ice Shares Early Years Music Experience
Nigerian singer, Alexander Adegbola Akande, better known as 9ice, has revealed that when he started his music career he was famous but broke.
The ‘Gongo Aso’ crooner spilled the beans in the latest episode of Chart with Sims podcast.
He said, “Don’t become popular o, make money. When I started, I was popular but I didn’t have money.”
He added that money finally started coming after he put in works.
9ice said, “The money didn’t just come in, I had to do the right thing. As at then we were depending so much on Alaba International Market. Then we didn’t have Facebook, Instagram and the rest. If you want your song to be popular in Kaduna, you have to go to Kaduna to do a radio interview. You have to be there for people to see you.”
