Nigerian singer Joeboy has recounted how his inability to pay school fees as a child inspired him to open his foundation to pay the school fees of children in a similar position.

Speaking to media personality Isi Ijewere on the Backstage Banter with Isi show, the singer recalled how often he used to get sent home for owing school fees and how embarrassing it became for him.

“When I was younger, I used to owe school fees a lot and it used to get embarrassing. When I was in jss3 , the secretary that used to come names of those owing fees came and before she even began announcing, the whole class said my name ‘Akinfewa joseph’. It pained me!”

As a result of the embarrassment, young Joeboy refused to return to that school and changed institutions.
