American-Nigerian rapper Wale Folarin dishes on getting no support from his mum concerning his career.
American born Nigerian rapper Wale whose full name is
Olubowale Victor Akintimehin has been opening up lately about
circumstances in his life. He recently shared his struggle with
depression and now he dishes on his life with his Nigerian mother.
In an interview with Billboard on March 30, 2015 Wale admitted that he had been through shit.
"All these rappers, they do songs about their
mothers. I'm Nigerian -- my mother didn't encourage me to do this. Even
when [my first album] Attention Deficit came out and I had kind of made
it, most parents would have been like, "My baby did it!" but I don't
have that. My mom didn't come to my [youth football league] games. I
posted a football picture on Instagram the other day. That was my
fuckin' rec' coach on my [high school] senior night. My mom didn't come
to that."
"I can't even explain to my mom
what my job entails. She just knows that all of her bills are going to
be paid. I didn't have one-on-ones with my mom or dad. I was in juvenile
facilities a lot. My point is that I grew up with the outside world
meaning the most to me."
The 30-year-old rapper who is signed on to Mayback Music just dropped his 3rd studio album called The Album About Nothing.
