In a radio chat with Toolz on Beatfm
yesterday, Wale said the reason he's
never been to Nigeria until now was
because his parents, who are both from
Ondo state, were so poor they couldn't
afford a bring him home.
"I grew up poor. We lived in DC, in
the projects.
Getting a ticket to
Nigeria on $20, 000 income
yearly, to my family that wasn't
really... you know...like I was a 15
year old with a decent job, I'm not
going to save up to go to Nigeria.
That wasn't what I was thinking
when I was that age. And then I
was in college and the money
tight right then.
And then I get this
record deal when I dropped out of
school, you're running around so
much you don't even have time to
see your own parents"
