Nigerian Rapper CDQ Reveals Why He Left Banking To Pursue Music

Nigerian rapper Sodiq Abubakar Yusuf, better known by his stage name as CDQ, has explained why he left banking to pursue his musical career.

He clarified that although he became a banker to meet his late father’s dream, he didn’t find satisfaction in the position.

The “Nowo Soke” crooner said in a recent interview with the Echo Room that he chose to resign after he discovered that he was writing lyrics during business hours rather than performing his duties.

“I quit my bank job. I couldn’t tell my mother or any family member then. I left the house and went to stay with Masterkraft in the studio. I told him banking isn’t my passion. I will probably just do it to make ends meet. But music is something that whether it gives me a return-back or not, I’m still happy doing it,” he recalled.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

‎One ❤️❤️❤️
