Afropop singer Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman, popularly known as Oxlade, has stated that he dropped out of school because he was targeted by gangs.
According to the singer, he dropped out of Lagos State University in his final year, because ‘leaving the school environment was the best decision for him.
The ‘Kulosa’ crooner described the situation as a ‘crazy time’
“I dropped out of the university in my final year because it was a crazy time. There were some gangs after me because I’m a fine boy. Being a fine boy makes you a target. It is either you join them or they o** you. So I had to leave that environment.”
“I went to Lagos State University (LASU). Go and read about the school. Now, they’re more focused on academics. I think they’ve realized how fragile life is and how important it is to pursue your dreams, so they’ve cracked down on that kind of behaviour. Now everyone is chasing money, but at that time, it was a hot period.
“After I left school, I ran away from home because I couldn’t tell my family why I dropped out,” he revealed.
