Why I left Nigeria at peak of my career – Freestyle

Regarded as one of the best rappers to have come out of the country, Mfon Essein, popularly known as Freestyle, left the stage when the ovation was loudest. Formerly with Trybe Records, the rapper was having a brilliant career before he relocated to the United States.

In a chat with Sunday Scoop, Freestyle revealed why he left at the time he did. He said, “I decided to leave so that I wouldn’t get stuck on one chapter instead of reading the whole book. Right now, I am focusing on my family. I made a lot of money doing music in Nigeria but I could have invested better.”

Asked what he does for a living now, Freestyle said simply, “Logistics.”
