Rapper Modenine has admitted that all he has gotten from his music career is fame and not fortune.
In an interview with Punch, one of Nigeria’s most respected Hip Hop heads said: “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.”
Modenine also reacted to him missing out on the 2014 Headies Awards nomination.... after the cut....
He said: “I don’t feel bad that I was not nominated in the Lyricist on the Roll category during this year’s Headies because even the sun and moon rotate the time they are meant to. I don’t do music with awards in mind; I just try and make good albums. I don’t mind if I am not nominated again for the next Headies because I was getting tired of being nominated for the lyricist on the roll category year in year out. I am even happy that I was not nominated.”
