Nigerian rapper Ycee has remained a topic of discussion online following comments he made during a recent interview that quickly gained attention on social media.
During the conversation, the artiste expressed concern over what he sees as a growing disregard for intelligence and academic achievement in today’s society. He argued that current trends appear to favour making room for people who may not excel academically rather than promoting educational excellence.
His remarks triggered a wave of reactions across social media platforms, with users divided over his perspective. While some agreed with his observations, others challenged his views, leading to an intense online debate.
As the discussion continued, an old interview featuring the rapper resurfaced, bringing renewed scrutiny to his educational history.
In the throwback interview, the “Omo Alhaji” hitmaker disclosed that he left the University of Lagos during his second year. He explained that he struggled academically, accumulating multiple carryover courses, which eventually made him uncomfortable with continuing his studies.
Reflecting on the decision, Ycee stated that he chose to walk away from the university and suggested that his music career may never have happened if he had completed his degree programme.
His words…
“I dey like 200 level, carryover wan carry me. It reached a point where I was no longer comfortable in school because the attention was getting too much. If I had finished from Unilag, I for don go do another thing.”
