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 o** 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 and 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 craziest 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.”
