”My dad doesn’t want me to leave Jesus”- Singer, Reekado Banks
By Patricia Uyeh
”Oluwa Ni” crooner, Reekado Banks born Ayoleyi Solomon, in recent chat, opened up about his parents’ reaction to his decision to do into music, and what has changed about him since he became famous.
Speaking on his parent’s reaction when he told them he is venturing into secular music, he said:
“My parents have always been supportive and they want the best for their children. When I initially told my mother about my intention, she had no problem with it. She then told my dad and he was okay with it too but said he wanted to be sure that I wouldn’t leave Jesus Christ.”
On whether he has changed since he became famous, Reekado said,
“I am still the same person I used to be. I do every other thing I want but I no longer have the liberty of walking on the street or going to some certain places I would have loved to go. I have always been the indoor type and even when I was in the University of Lagos, I never went to clubs or things like that.”
