Talented Nigerian lyricist Olanrewaju Ogunmefun David popularly known in music circles as Vector has explained how his parents supported his desire to become a rapper.
Vector who opened up in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo said that his parents were kind of free but he was made to work for what he believed in.
He noted further that at a point in time, his parents started calling him Vector the Viper because that was what he identified with when he began as a rapper.
Vector said; “I learnt how to self-reflect. You know, African parents are usually on default mode of parenting, so they liked everyone. I think they did their best not to show who their favourite was because a sickle cell warrior is in my house.
”You’d have thought she got the most care because she’s a warrior, and to show you how dope the care is, she has 2 children now. They had no favourites, and they dealt with us as we were.”
“At a point in the house, they even started calling me Vector the viper because that’s what I identified with. Even my brother is a DJ and they’d call him that.
”So my parents were kind of free but they made you work for what you believed in and what you needed or wanted to do. I felt loved regardless and I think I grew up sheltered, not sheltered in the sense of a silver spoon though,” he concluded.
