This will be surprising for fans of sensational singer, Mr eazi as he reveals he does not have a car of his own.
Mr Eazi disclosed this in an interview with Saturday beats, in
his explanation, he said he prefers using Uber and also someone once
offered him 80m record deal but he turned it down even though he had
just 300,000.
According to “Property” crooner, “If
your self-esteem is based on how much you have in your bank account,
then you have a serious self-esteem issue. Right from when I sang my
very first song, someone offered me N80m record deal but I turned it
down and at the time, I did not have N300,000 in my account.
“My first record deal offer from the
UK was £356,000, I turned it down but at the time, I had done a tour and
the total amount I earned was £12,500. I used the money to shoot the
videos of some of my songs. I was left with £20; they were offering me
£365,000, but I turned it down. The reason I did that was because my
value was not dependent on what was in my account.
“Till today, I use Uber but I do not
care and by the way, I don’t even pay for the ride because I was given
Uber credit. But if you see me in the Uber vehicle and feel that Mr Eazi
is poor, what is my business (with that)? For instance, everybody
around me has cars, and besides, I buy cars for people. If it makes
sense for me to use an Uber, why should I drive? Why would I pay about
N100m for a car that I would probably drive just five times a year?
“There are better things to do with
that money. In the short time I have spent on earth, I have made a lot
of money. While I was into mining, I had so much money that I was living
at a place that was a stone’s throw away from the airport in Accra and I
was paying my rent in dollars.
“I was making a lot of money. That
shows you how expensive it was but I went from there to squatting with
my friend in a one-room apartment. I was sleeping on the floor in his
room. Also, when I was doing the business of selling beverages, we
started with a crate and in a short while, we began to import four
containers every two weeks. From importing four containers every two
weeks, we went back to nothing. In my life, I have had ups and down. If
my self-worth was based on material things, I would have killed myself.” he concluded.
