Rapper, Kesh whose real name is Keshinro Ololade has revealed how becoming a star as a teenager denied him crucial life experiences.
Kesh who has credit for several songs including “Shoki” also added that fame cost him opportunities for personal development, adding that rising to stardom at 19 was “overwhelming”.
Now 30-year-old, the former YBNL artiste noted that he missed out on the chance to “grow and learn intelligently” before being thrust into the spotlight.
“I blew at a very tender age. I was 19 when I got signed. I just turned 20 when I had ‘Shoki’,” he said in a recent interview.
Kesh who acknowledged that his career took off quickly, added, “I feel like that is not talked about too much. But shout out to people like Justin Bieber who was vulnerable and was able to tell his story.
“My own too is similar to that. It is just coming to the limelight at an early age. I was also deprived of a lot of things. A lot of life experiences I could have learned before I was put into the position.
“A lot of fun I could have had. It was overwhelming blowing up at that time. And also trying to maintain the brand over the years.
“I wished I had learned so much before I was given what I had. Growth and intelligence overall.”
