Veteran Nigerian rapper, Babatunde Olusegun better known as Mode 9, is not quite happy with his level of popularity and his corresponding account balance.
The rapper sounded pained as he spoke with Punch over the weekend as he lamented not being as rich as he would want to and said all he has benefited from doing music is being popular.
In his words: ‘Music has got me fame but not fortune. The kind of song I do is hip-hop in its pure essence and the truth is that most Nigerians do not like it. I can eat three times in a day; I am not hungry but I am not as comfortable as I would love to be. However, the book has not ended, so let’s see what happens. Music has got me more fame than fortune.’
