‘I Became A Man At 11-Years Old’ – Oluwadolarz Opens Up On Childhood Struggles

Nigerian singer cum content creator, Oluwadolarz, has opened up about his childhood struggle.

Naija News reports that Oluwadalarz, in an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwu on ‘WithChude’ podcast, said he started providing for his family at age 11.

According to the singer, his father died when he was two years old, and his stepfather supported him before his demise in 2015.

Oluwadalarz emphasized that his father’s death made him take on responsibilities beyond his age.

Speaking on his journey in the music industry, Oluwadolarz said his music initially did not gain acceptance and lost many jobs after a rape allegation against him.

He said, “I once worked at Ebute Metta as a truck loader at Dangote Cement. I was loading pasta.

“I lost my father at a very early age of two years. But I had a stepdad who supported us before his death in 2015.

“I didn’t enjoy my childhood. I became a man at the age of 11. I was contemplating what the family would eat at that age. I began my music career in 2008. It did not move at all.

“I lost a lot of jobs over the rape allegation. I was depressed because that was the same period I had my child. I paid a lot of debt because they wanted me to repay their money, and they didn’t want to associate themselves with my brand anymore.”
