“I used to be a factory worker and my salary
was N15, 000. I am the first born of my family and out of this little
money, I still had to save about N8,000 for my studio sessions, I had to
trek a lot to achieve this.
“At a point, my parents and siblings put
pressure on me to get another job and stop wasting my time doing music. I
thank God I never listened to them because I am now the breadwinner of
my family.”
Slimcase also spoke about the inspiration behind his kind of music.
He said, “Alcohol inspires the kind of music I do; drunken people inspire me a lot even though I have never been drunk.
