Veteran rap artiste, Mode 9, is regarded
as the godfather of rap music in Nigeria in some quarters and while a
lot is known about the talented rapper’s body of work, little or nothing
is known about his love life. In fact, if you ask his core fans if the
rap artiste is married or not, no one can answer with confidence.
In a chat with DA-Playpoint Entertaiment,
the word smith once again evaded questions that border on his private
life but this time, he gave reasons why he never talks about his
personal life.
“I am not going to answer personal
questions and if you notice my modus operand, I guard my personal life
with my life. I tell my family members to shy away from the press. My
interviews are about my works; I drop an album and I want you to buy it.
I don’t want people to know about my personal life, because I am an
artiste and not a celebrity. I don’t do music to be famous. Everybody
has a reason behind their action and I do music because I am good at it.
“Why do I need to be famous? It is a lie
that the person in my life may feel bad that I don’t talk about her
during interviews. If your wife works in a bank and you are an artiste,
you don’t go to her bank and sit down. Likewise an entertainer; your
spouse may come for a few shows but not every one of them because she
knows you would not give her all your attention. Some people like to put
their family in the limelight like the Kardashians but others don’t
because they are private people and the fans need to respect that fact. I
follow rappers like KRS One in America and I have never woken up one
day to find out who his wife is. I don’t care about any other thing but
his music because I am a fan of his music. There are some people that
are just too nosy and want to know everything about a person. You cannot
know everything about me. I am from a different era, and in my era, we
only follow the music and ignore every other thing,” Mode 9 said.
