Adebayo Adeleke, better known by his stage name B-Red, a Nigerian artist, has admitted that he formerly had a position as a cook in the United States of America.
To make ends meet, he claimed to have taken six jobs in the US at once.
This was revealed by B-Red, the governor of Osun State's son, in a recent interview with Naija FM in Lagos.
The rapper, who is Davido's cousin, said that his family didn't provide him financial assistance because they disapproved of his choice to pursue a career in music.
He said, “I have had a lot of jobs in America. I’m a chef too.
“In America, at my brother’s university; Georgia Perimeter College, I used to be a chef from 6 a.m. in the morning to 7 p.m. at night. My manager was a Chinese guy. His name was Joe.
“I lied on my application because in that job, you need to have a culinary arts degree. They [the management] said, “Do you have a degree?” I said yes because I need the kpa [money].
“My skills were too good. So, at the end of the two, three months, they will ask for your degree. But they never asked me because my skills were too good.”
He continued, “I had six jobs at once, bro. Because my family didn’t want us to do music, we had to hustle. Sometimes, my brother, Shina Rambo and I even sell CDs.”
