Popular artiste, Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, widely known as Mr. Eazi, has opened up on why he had to stop music for the main time.
This is as the ‘Skin Tight’ singer disclosed that he would be investing in the movie
industry the coming year.
Mr Eazi, in an interview with media personality Angela Lee, revealed that he had to stop music because he was already getting bored.
The “Patek” hit maker claimed that he never intended to be a musician and only accidentally entered the music industry. He said that following his 2019 Coachella performance, he realised he had to do something else.
He said he chose to expand into tech to lessen the burnout he was feeling in the music industry.
Eazi added:
“I have a tech company called Zagadat Capital. And this was like me being bored of music.
After performing at the Coachella in 2019. I played on the first day of Coachella, I came down from the stage and I felt nothing. No happiness. No sadness.
“For somebody who never wanted to be an artiste, and third year of my career, I’m playing Coachella and I felt nothing. So, for me, it was a sign I would either have to quit music and go do something else.
“Because that was not a good feeling to have or I needed to pause. Maybe I was experiencing burnout.
And when COVID hit, it was the first time I paused and tried to decide what would be the next move. I had started Empawa so I was getting to understand the music business.
“But I was tired of even listening to music. How can you run a music business without
listening to music? So, I just had my team handle that.
“I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur and now the music has given me access to people and capital, so I was like, okay, I’m gonna start my fund like Jay-Z.”
