Nigerian hip-hop musician Erhiga Agarivbie, better known by his stage as Erigga, has expressed regret that his father believes he has a right to his money even though he trained himself and fled the family at the age of eight.He claimed that although his father had not been active in his upbringing, he began contacting and pressuring him once he achieved success.
In the most recent Spill With Phyna podcast episode, the rapper who was born in Warri revealed this.
“It doesn’t make sense when you see parents start feeling entitled because you had many years ahead of me; why didn’t you make it before me?” Erigga remarked. In Africa, this entitlement mentality is rarely discussed.I was by myself, facing the street. I was embroiled in far too many things to discuss here on camera. AdditionallyI can’t stop thinking, “What if I got shot or arrested?” since the majority of the folks I was with back then are either imprisoned or dead.At eight, I have to start taking care of myself. I moved in with my pals and picked up undesirable behaviors. On the other hand, I knew where I wanted to be no matter where I was since I fell in love with music at a very young age. Many years later, after I’ve changed my name to Erigga, someone says, “Hey! I’m not being looked for by you. You’re not acting in certain ways. And I’m like, “Bro, we don’t have a relationship because you’re not the father you think you are.” I don’t father myself by myself. Additionally i can’t give you credit
