Ghanaian rapper, Teephlow has revealed that he holds a degree in quantity surveying he obtained at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and chose not to confine himself to the music industry when he faced challenges in gaining mainstream success.
The artist urged his colleagues in the music industry to seek additional sources of income to enhance their livelihoods, a proclamation that has enhanced the conversation around the entertainment news landscape in Ghana.
He emphasized that paying attention to others’ opinions may hinder artists from excelling in their craft.
Teephlow shared his perspective in a live video on social media, highlighting the tendency of Ghanaians to encourage individuals to remain within their comfort zones.
He said despite his absence from the music scene for several years, he remains unfazed due to his academic background in quantity surveying.
“They will tell you to stay in your comfort zone but these people are not ready to invest in your career. How can a man who has gone to KNUST and has a degree in quantity surveying limit himself to music?
“They paid my school fees so that if my talent fails, I can fall on something else so why should I limit myself. Don’t listen to Ghanaians, because they will not invest in you. You can do music even when you’re outside the country. Do not let anyone limit you.
“You have a family and you have bills to pay so if your passion is not making the cut, try to put things in place to sort out your bills and then If the bills are sorted, you can focus on your passion.
“With this in place, you don’t have to think about how you can invest in your passion without any form of stress,” he said.
