Ajebo Hustlers, a well-known Nigerian musical duo, revealed that several of their friends urged them to give up music because they weren’t initially making a fortune from it.
The Port Harcourt-born duo said their struggle for stardom forced them to be accommodated by several family members and friends before they finally hit stardom.
They said at one point, they were housed by singer D’banj’s younger brother, K-Switch.
The ‘Barawo’ crooners revealed this on the latest episode of Afrobeats podcast hosted by Shopsydoo.
They said, “We squatted with K-Switch in 2016. I’m no playing. 2017 nothing was popping. It was 2018, we were still trying to push and then we made a record in 2019 with King Perry. I think we were squatting somewhere then.
“That time we were squatting because music was not working and you now have friends that are telling you, omo, thus music is not working, you sure say you try enter street,”
