In other news… Afrobeat star Oxlade has revealed that he doesn’t smoke or use hard drugs and attributes his lifestyle choices to his upbringing and religious background. He revealed the news during an interview with gospel singer Tim Godfrey.
The Ku Lo Sa hitmaker said he comes from a devout Christian and musical family and began his musical journey in a church choir. According to him, this foundation shaped his values, personality and overall approach to music.
“I don’t smoke. I don’t do drugs. I am the choir coordinator for every age group; children’s church, youth church, youth choir and mass choir.
“I’ve been in choir my whole life. I grew up in a family that loved music. My grandmother was a deaconess and a great singer. My grandfather had been a multi-instrumentalist.
“My mom dances and sings. I have a pastor in the family. My gospel music writing is actually the best. Gospel music is the best music,” he said.
The singer added, “No matter which way you look at me, you should know that God has blessed me just as He has blessed you. If God doesn’t want your debut album to tour 40 cities, then as long as God ordains these steps and actions, I have nothing to worry about.”
