Nigerian singer, 9ice, born Akande Abolore has revealed his reaction to being a father at 28.
The artiste while speaking during a chat with showtime revealed that he was scared when he learnt he’ll be a dad.
9ice, father of four, whose first child was with his ex-wife, Tony Payne, revealed that he was scared at the time because he was too young to be a father. He noted that he was not emotionally ready to handle the responsibilities.
He said: “When news of my first child’s pregnancy got to me, I was gripped with fear because I thought I was too young to father a child.
“I was just 28-years old at that time so I wasn’t really prepared emotionally or otherwise, I felt I wasn’t ready for that kind of commitment.”
He added: “When my son was finally born, it became clear to me that his birth was not a mistake; this was what actually inspired me to write and sing the song No be mistake.”
