Vector Reveals How His Parent’s Upbringing Style Shaped His Life

Rapper Vector has opened out about his early life and how it shaped his artistic resiliency.

During an interview on the “With Chude” program, Vector praised his parents for having a well-rounded approach to parenting.

He thought about how his upbringing had given him a strong sense of purpose and determination, a mindset that drives him to pursue his objectives in the face of obstacles.

Vector said: “My childhood has put me in that ‘whatever the weather, what I want to do is what I do’ mindset. Plus, I was detached and stubborn, like my mum and grandma would say. I was the one that would always ask, ‘Why do the Yoruba people always say the elders are always right?’ and I’d be like, ‘That’s a lie.

“I learnt how to self-reflect. You know, African parents are usually on the default mode of parenting, so they like everyone. I think they did their best not to show who their favourite was because, in my house, my sister is a sickle cell warrior. 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 favorites, 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.

The good parenting of a committed mother and father who respect each other is essential for forming children with peaceful hearts.

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

One ❤️❤️❤️

Today's Quote

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
