Singer Oxlade has disclosed why he dropped out of Lagos State University (LASU) in his final year

Speaking in a recent podcast he said: “I dropped out of the university in my final year because it was a crazy time. There were some gangs after me because I’m a fine boy

Being a fine boy makes you a target. It’s either you join them or they out you. So I had to leave that environment. I went to LASU

Now they’re more focused on academics. I think they’ve realized how fragile life is & how important it is to pursue your dreams, so they’ve cracked down on that kind of behavior

Now everyone is chasing money but at that time, it was a hot period. After I left school, I ran away from home because I couldn’t tell my family why I dropped out. They wouldn’t understand; they would just think I was making excuses. I couldn’t go back. It felt like I let my family & my grandma down

The crazi€st part was that when my grandma finally saw me, she was so calm about it. All that pressure I put on myself was just in my head.”
