Eva Alordiah Reveals How She Went From Being A Starving Rapper To Co-owning Tech Firm

Eva Alordiah has shared candidly about her experiences with financial hardships and the difficulties she faced as a self-reliant female rapper in Nigeria.

The rapper revealed in a recent email that she never knew how to make her love of music become a successful career.

Eva Alordiah claimed that as a result, she had years of financial struggle.

“I was barely able to stay afloat. Being an independent female rapper in Nigeria was hard,” she wrote.

“Being a star is one thing, but being a broke star is a whole different level of struggle to take on.

“I was living from check to check, barely able to afford rent.

“Being a broke, starving artist made me come face to face with my ignorance about money and how money works.”

Rap was not considered an economically viable genre at the time, according to Alordiah.

She claimed that it was considerably harder for a woman to succeed in the field.

According to her, she found herself giving low-paying performances, with the majority of the proceeds going toward studio expenses, advertising, and her own necessities.

The rapper went on to say that she had to make the difficult choice to give up music.

She credited the book ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad’, which she first read at age 16, for giving her insight into how to approach money.

The rapper said this new focus led her to co-own a software company that helps people monetize their knowledge online.

“I went from wanting to make money online to becoming part-owner of a software company that helps other people make money online,” she said.

Congratulations for believing in yourself and never giving up on yourself.

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

One ❤️❤️❤️
