Fast-rising Nigerian singer, Candy Bleakz, has revealed that she absconded from home at 16 to pursue her musical career.
The “Wale” crooner, who made this revelation in a recent interview with Wazobia FM, Lagos, said she hasn’t set her eyes on her family members since then.
According to the 23-year-old, when she left home at 16, she vowed not to return until she achieves success in the music industry.
She, however, noted that she has been communicating with them through the telephone.
“I left home when I was 16. And when I was leaving home, I said to myself, I’m not returning to this house until I achieve my aims. Since then, I haven’t gone home, but I communicate with my family [via telephone], and I do send them money.
“But mum, she keeps calling always that she is no longer getting young. Even my siblings who were one and four years old when I left home are now 10 and 16 years old. So, my mum has been pleading with me to come home and bond with my younger ones.
“But for me, the game is tough. To go home, I still need to go with money. I just feel like this is the same situation with most people in Lagos,” she said.
